disappeared?They just came to Xinghua Temple to pray for blessings yesterday, so they should not be missing for a few days.Looking at the girl's shy and ruddy face, Chun Niang asked, "How old is your sister?"

"My sister is eighteen, I... seventeen." The more Zhao Xiaofeng thought about it, the more she blushed. Judging by the young man's clothes, he should come from a wealthy family. I wonder if he can come to propose marriage?

The female Taoist priest met in Jiangzhong looked about eighteen or nine years old, and Chun Niang asked again: "What clothes did she wear before she left home?"

"Taoist robe." After Zhao Xiaofeng finished speaking, he looked at Chunniang suspiciously, "Have you met my sister?" Such a handsome young man could not be her concubine, could he?No wonder she didn't want to marry.

There is no place to look for after breaking through the iron shoes, and it is easy to get here. Chun Niang's eyes lit up, and she said to Zhao Xiaofeng: "I will visit your mother tomorrow. You know what happened tonight. Don't show your flaws."

He really wanted to come to ask for a kiss!

Zhao Xiaofeng nodded quickly, looked at him with bright eyes, and said: "Master must come, Xiaofeng will wait for you."

She told him her boudoir name, is that enough?Do you want to leave a handkerchief like the troupe does?

As a keepsake?

Well, I still don't want it.

In case this young man is not a good man and a good destination, it will delay her marriage with others.

Zhao Xiaofeng turned his head three times and left.

After Chun Niang asked Zhao Xiaofeng clearly, she only said that the unresolved matter in her heart had been resolved, and she kept shaking her fan and laughing on the way back.

The promenade of the ancient temple is quiet and beautiful at night, the wind is pine and the smoke is cypress, Zheng Zhao is watching the slanting moon in the empty courtyard, when he hears footsteps, he turns and looks at Chun Niang, "I'm back."

He didn't stop him from leaving, but he was waiting for him to come back. The fan in Chun Niang's hand froze, and she didn't know how long he had been waiting here. Cousin is worried."

"It's fine." Zheng Zhao glanced at her, then walked into the guest room, "Youzhi and I sleep on the couch outside, and you sleep on the bed inside."

Chun Niang nodded, and followed him into the guest room, the candlesticks on the desk were piled with wax and tears, the moonlight shone through the window on the couch, Lu Yuncong was sleeping soundly, snoring loudly.

When she walked to the screen, she couldn't help turning her head and said, "Cousin, I know who the female Taoist priest is?"

Zheng Zhao was undressing, and looked at Chun Niang when he heard the words, the passers-by were going or coming, he didn't expect Chun Niang to really find out where the female Taoist priest came from.

"She should be the eldest daughter of the Zhao family." Chun Niang told the truth about what happened tonight, and then said, "Can my cousin visit the Zhao family with me tomorrow?"

Zheng Zhao nodded and said, "Tomorrow morning, before I go to the back mountain, I will ask the monks to help me hand over a greeting card."

Chun Niang let out an "ah", she almost forgot about the female Taoist priest in the back mountain.Maybe it hasn't been seen in the past few days, but the monks didn't see it.She walked into the inner room, closed her clothes and lay on the bed, having a good night's sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Zheng Zhao and Chun Niang walked along the Qingshiban Road to the back mountain after eating vegetarian food.

There are few people in the back mountain, so it is not as lively as burning incense and worshiping Buddha in the front mountain.The short grass is close to the ground, the giant trees are towering, and wild flowers are scattered all over the back hill.Someone came from the bird on the tree and made a crisp cry. With the movement of the grass and trees, the squirrel that had been playing in the mountains ran away without a trace.Zheng Zhao explored the road with a bamboo pole in his hand, but he was surprised for some reason. He glanced back and saw a blue wolf scorpion in the crevice of the stone.

"It should be nearby." Chun Niang pushed aside the vines climbing on the stone wall and found a small stone gate of an ancient tunnel. "The monks said that when they were collecting medicine nearby, they would occasionally meet that female Taoist priest."

Zheng Zhao walked to the small stone gate. There was no trace of chiseling on the inner wall of the stone gate, which should have been broken by fire and water.

This method of digging rocks is relatively old, and the ancient tunnel has a history of at least 800 years, which is really daunting.However, Taoist Suxi lived in seclusion in the cave and practiced, probably because he knew some road sections where he could still walk.

"You two, you have blocked the light of the poor."

Just as he was thinking, a female voice came from the cave.Zheng Zhao and Chun Niang hurriedly moved away from the stone door, and a yellow-faced female Taoist priest came out from the door.

She was wearing a fat and loose Taoist robe with a sword behind her back. She had a long face and slender eyes. She was really not good-looking, but her steps were calm and her demeanor was unrestrained.

This female Taoist priest is still alive and well, it seems that what Jiang Zhong met was the eldest lady of the Zhao family.

Chun Niang breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Zheng Zhao and said, "Cousin, let's go back."

Seeing that the female Taoist priest ignored them and went up the mountain, Zheng Zhao also walked back with Chun Niang, and the morning bell of Xinghua Temple echoed in the mountain.

When he returned to the guest room, Lu Yuncong was doing a five-animal show in the courtyard.When he saw Zheng Zhao and Chun Niang coming in, he asked, "Has Luanying ever met a rabbit that crashed into a tree and died while walking? Su Zhai is good, but it's not my favorite. Brother Yu wants to make a tooth sacrifice."

Zheng Zhao shook his head and said: "I didn't meet a rabbit, but I met a Taoist priest at the stone gate of the tunnel."

"It turns out that the female Taoist priest from Houshan is really real?" Lu Yuncong stopped the Wuqinxi, "I thought it was a rural rumor fabricated by those monks."

Zheng Zhaodao: "There is a real person, and the Taoist priest is quite popular..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Yuncong strode out of the yard.

"Cai..." Zheng Zhao sighed.

People are gone.

He went back to his room to change the clothes that were wet with Bailu, took his pen and ink and went to the stables in the outer courtyard.He took the donkey to the grass and drew a picture of "The Donkey of Guizhou" facing it.

When visiting others, you should send a notice of greeting before you go, and you should bring gifts when you go.He doesn't care that these customs are his business, but if others care, he will still do it.

I don't have a long body, and I take painting as a gift.

Chun Niang dried the brush and ink on the painting with a folding fan, and the two of them took the painting to the guest house where the Wang family lived.

"Girl." The servant girl came in and said to Zhao Xiaofeng, "Pass it to the young master who will invite you this morning."

Zhao Xiaofeng asked: "Is mother back?"

The servant girl shook her head and said, "Madam hasn't come back yet."

"Mother has been out for almost an hour, why hasn't she come back?" Zhao Xiaofeng twisted the handkerchief and was very tangled, "I don't know if it's him, if it is, I can't drag it, just drag someone and leave."

A good marriage must never slip through the fingers.

She felt that she had figured it out, thought it through, and resolutely ordered the servant girl: "Go and invite the young master to come in."

The servant girl stared at her, and she also stared at the servant girl.In the end, the servant girl gave in and went outside to convey the young lady's orders to the old woman, and let the outsider in to meet the young lady.

After carefully taking care of her makeup in front of the mirror, Zhao Xiaofeng moved lightly with lotus steps, covered her face with a round fan, and went to the main hall to meet guests.

As soon as he stepped over the threshold, Zhao Xiaofeng froze.In front of Zhuyu, I feel dirty.

Those who should shower and change clothes before coming in should at least wash their hair.

She glanced at Chun Niang, the young master with red lips and white teeth last night, then she turned her gaze to Zheng Zhao, and whispered softly: "Dare to ask the son, where is your family name, your surname, and your name, have you ever been married..."

The maid hurriedly pulled Zhao Xiaofeng behind her.

Zhao Xiaofeng stopped talking, smiled softly and dignifiedly, and said reluctantly: "I don't know why the young master is here?"

Chun Niang was happy to see that only Zhao Xiaofeng came in, but when she saw her wandering eyes finally fell on Zheng Zhao, she couldn't help but look a little gloomy, but she still smiled and said: "We have news about your sister, and I want to tell your mistress .”

Zhao Xiaofeng said affectionately, "You two can wait here, my mother will be back soon."

Chun Niang raised her head, looked straight at her, and asked, "Don't you want to know the news?"

"If Xiaofeng wants to know, will my lord tell Xiaofeng?" Zhao Xiaofeng bowed her head shyly.

She didn't care about her sister's whereabouts, and she still wanted to flirt.Chun Niang's complexion gradually turned cold, she opened the folding fan with a shake of her hand, and said lightly, "We'll wait for your mother to come back."

Zhao Xiaofeng didn't care when she heard the words, she picked up the painting that Zheng Zhao sent, and praised: "What a majestic... donkey?"

After she finished speaking, she blinked her eyes in disbelief, and looked at it carefully again, and found that she was right, it was indeed a high-spirited donkey and a cowering tiger.

Zheng Zhaodao: "I originally wanted to draw a lion and a donkey, but when I picked up the brush, I happened to think of a donkey in Guizhou, so I drew a tiger."

It's not right to be painted as a lion cringing, right?

Zhao Xiaofeng tried hard to find out the allusion about Guizhou's donkey from the corner of memory, and then had to admit that he drew it right.There are no donkeys in Guizhou, and those who have good things will be carried by boats.If there is no use, put it down the mountain.When a tiger sees it, it is a giant and thinks it is a god.

In this way, it was not until noon that Mrs. Zhao's wife came back.

"Xiaofeng!" Madam took off her cloak and handed it to the servant girl, walked into the main hall and smiled apologetically at them, drove Zhao Xiaofeng back into the room, and asked, "Do you know the whereabouts of my daughter?"

Chun Niang truthfully told the story of the female Taoist priest she met on the boat, and the ins and outs were very detailed.

Madam looked at them, was silent for a while, and asked: "That female Taoist priest has a fair face and moles at the corners of her eyes?"

Chun Niang nodded and said, "Yes."

Madam nodded and did not speak. After a while, her face was sad, her eyes were moist, and she said: "Excuse me for not being able to see guests."

Zheng Zhao got up and left with Chun Niang.

Back in the guest room, Lu Yuncong hadn't come back from seeking Taoism, Chun Niang lay down by the window in boredom, tilting her head to watch Zheng Zhao draw a donkey.

"Cousin, why does she want to die?"

"I don't know." Zheng Zhao outlined the shape of the donkey in two or three strokes, "Maybe she discovered a secret, and she will no longer feel pain after death."

Chun Niang thought for a while and then asked: "But my cousin is also in pain, why don't I want to die?"

"Because it's more painful to think about death." Zheng Zhao twisted the sketch, which is where the donkey gnawed. "Death means that you will leave everything you like, and you will no longer be able to talk to your relatives and friends, and hear their reprimands." And nagging, tell them what happened today. Or, death from illness, poisoning, beheading, most of the deaths are painful in themselves.”

"Maybe I will go to hell after death and become a lonely ghost." Chun Niang lowered her head and opened the folding fan with her hands. The fan was covered with cliff orchids. "I don't know if there is still time to do good deeds now?"

"Hell and karma are all fear." Zheng Zhao made the last stroke, "Using death to control life is the same in Buddhism and Taoism. Why should we be afraid of death? Death has nothing to do with life. When we are alive, death is not Exist. When death comes, we no longer exist."

After hearing this, Chun Niang thought it made sense, but felt that something was a little strange, so she thought hard in front of the window.

Zheng Zhao brought the sketch of a donkey eating in front of her eyes, and she smiled and cursed after looking at it: "This stubborn donkey knows how to eat, and I don't even think about how many years I can live!" She was stunned for a moment, then raised her head and laughed Said: "I really shouldn't think about it. Although I am in pain sometimes, I am happy almost every day, and I believe that all pain can be resolved."

Maybe not all the pain... She looked down at her men's clothing and asked, "Cousin, what if you were a woman? What would you look like?"

If she was a man, she would not have to suffer these things at the beginning. She could cry and laugh at will, walk around the table, show off how many women she has had, and go to the doctor to prescribe aphrodisiac without shyness.

Of course, she can also study and take the imperial examination, write and draw, and go south along the canal to play around casually.

What a man to be.

In my next life I must be a man.
