Be a national teacher in Liaozhai Fanwen

There is no sound at night, and the temple seems to be without a couple.

In Jingshui Temple, the monks had already fallen asleep, and only the ever-burning lamp in front of the Buddhist hall was dimly lit.

A cat jumped off the courtyard wall and squatted in front of the threshold of Guanyin Hall, licking its belly hair leisurely.

Suddenly, it seemed to be startled by something, and it gave a low warning growl towards the distance, and then jumped away with a roar.

"Squeak-"

The courtyard door was pushed open, and a man wearing a cloak and lighting a bean-sized lamp walked in lightly.

He crossed the threshold but did not stop in front of the Avalokitesvara, but turned around and walked around to the back of the hall.

He put the oil lamp on the desk beside him, and the dim light reflected the ferocious face and compassionate eyes of Avalokitesvara, making the whole Avalokitesvara Hall even more grotesque, like Abi Hell.

The man took off his hood, knelt on the ground, and reverently kowtowed a few times to the beast-faced Avalokitesvara.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

In the silent night, the sound of head banging on the blue brick floor was especially loud.

He could only hear him muttering in a low voice: "Amitabha..."

In front of the ever-burning lamp, the jade-faced Avalokitesvara statue in the front hall lowered its eyes, and then closed its eyes as if unable to bear it...

***

Zhao House.

The flowers in the garden were covered with night dew, and a group of people on the corridor hurriedly walked with the lights on. A group of people walked on the corridor without even hearing a cough, and could only make a rustling sound of their robes rubbing against the ground.

When Li Taibai pushed open the door, a gust of warm fragrance rushed to his face, sweeping away the cold air in the spring night.

Inside the room, the curtains were soft and the fragrance was soaking. Zhao Su, "Du Xiaomei" and "Zhu Xiaoliang" sat at the table and waited for him with warm wine and sunflower seeds.

"I'm back." At this time, Zhao Su was not dressed as plainly as he was in the daytime. The thick purple python robe made his skin whiter like jade, like a god in the sky.

Li Taibai then closed the door and stepped forward to take a seat.

"Du Xiaomei" handed him a glass of wine, and he took it and drank it with his head raised.

Only then did Zhao Su speak unhurriedly: "How is the investigation?"

"It's just as written in Shangjun's file, but with a little more stuff." After speaking, Li Taibai took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Su.

Zhao Su stretched out his hand to take it and looked at it carefully. Then Li Taibai grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and explained while pushing: "Ruan Tao, styled Jizhen, native of Shu, originally from Chengdu Prefecture. It is clearly written in these Shangjun files, Unmistakable."

"The only thing wrong is that his family has not been farming for generations."

"Let me tell you! If you are really a farmer, how can you be so white and tender, and you can read the clock." "Du Xiaomei" said.

"His father, Ruan Lanyu, is a child of the Ruan family of Chen Liuwei, and his mother, Li Youshan, is the eldest daughter of Li Ding, the prefect of Lanling. The two fell in love with each other when they were young, and they made a private decision for life."

"However, because Li Ding was only a low-ranking official at the time, it was impossible for the Ruan family to marry him, so the two eloped to Bashu to be a pair of wild mandarin ducks. Ruan Tao was born in the second year of their elopement. The Ruan and Li families didn't get married, but they did have a grudge." Li Taibai said.

"The strange thing is that Li Ding likes to read Ruan Yu's book when he has nothing to do. I thought it was something when they were young!" "Du Xiaomei" smiled gossipingly.

Li Taibai smiled and shared some melon seeds with him, and then continued: "Their family has lived comfortably in Sichuan for seventeen years. Ruan Lanyu opened an academy in Chengdu. Although the family is not Wealthy and rich, but they lived a decent life. Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected situation. When the family went out to play, the Minjiang River was flooded. Ruan Lanyu and Li Youshan died in the Minjiang River to rescue the victims, leaving behind Ruan Tao alone."

"Ruan Tao is still just a child who has not reached the crown. He suddenly became a little crazy after such a big change. He hastily buried his parents together, and in order to avoid the plague after the flood, he went all the way north with the victims. On the way He was almost starved to death after being robbed of his money, but was rescued by a warlock who saw that he had an appearance like a fairy in the sky, felt sorry for his desolate situation, and taught him some 'crafts'."

"But Ruan Tao was crazy at that time, and he couldn't learn anything, but became a drag on the warlock. Therefore, after arriving in Shangjun three months ago, the warlock settled Ruan Tao and left on his own. .”

"Once the warlock left, how could Ruan Tao, a child suffering from madness, survive alone? Who knows, suddenly one day, he would not be crazy at all! He even picked up those 'crafts' to live on."

But Zhao Su frowned slightly, he looked at the strips on the rolled paper that Li Taibai brought back: "Suddenly not crazy?"

Li Taibai nodded, then frowned slightly and said: "However, it's strange!"

"Brother Taibai, what's wrong?" "Du Xiaomei" asked, "Since Ruan Tao is a disciple of the Ruan family, isn't it easy to explain why you say that he is not like a secular person? There are also two people who don't like to wear clothes?"

The eyes of the three of them focused on him instantly.

"Uh, I'm not alluding to that."

At the same time, inside the Ruan Mansion in Shangjing.

The wind is blowing and the forest is ringing, and the moon is under the moon among the pines. There are two people sitting opposite each other warming wine and playing the piano.

Both of them wear wide robes with large sleeves and slightly open shirts.

The moonlight is like silver, the sound of the piano is like the gurgling water, and the wind blows the robes. Under the bright moon, the two are like immortals under the moon who are about to fly away.

At this moment, one of them sneezed suddenly.

"Apoof!"

He took a sip of his wine, raised his head and said to his friend in front of him, "If you want to scold me, scold me directly, there's no need to speak ill of me behind your back."

"Fool."

"...Are you really scolding?"

**

Li Taibai told several people about Ruan Tao's life experience he had investigated and some unreasonable things about him.

"Ruan Lanyu is a teacher. He has taught for nearly 20 years and has many disciples. I heard that there was a big change in Mr.'s family, and only one son is still alive. However, due to floods and plagues, he could not be contacted and disappeared. , so many of Ruan Lanyu's disciples are inquiring about Ruan Tao's whereabouts."

"Nowadays, Wen Zhi, the commentator of Dali Temple, is one of Ruan Lanyu's most beloved disciples. This man was brought up by the Salesian Bureau. Without the help of the Ruan family, it would be impossible to have today. Therefore, Ruan Lanyu and his wife have always been regarded as their biological parents. , regarded Ruan Tao as his own biological brother and loved Ruan Tao since childhood, the two grew up together."

"Wen Zhi became an official in Beijing at a young age without any contacts in Beijing. Although he is only a member of the eighth rank, it is indeed rare. But he has never forgotten his roots. Whenever he is free, he will go back to Shuzhong to visit Ruan Lanyu and his wife every year. They all lived in the Ruan family."

"Suddenly heard that something happened to Ruan's family. Wen Zhi was seriously ill. Before he fully recovered, he was anxious to find Ruan Tao's whereabouts. He wanted to take him to Jingzhong to take care of him. After finally finding out that Ruan Tao was in Shangjun, he went all out. He pretended to resign and told his superiors that he was on leave, and hurried to Shangjun. But, guess what?"

Li Taibai stopped at the key point.

"What's the matter? Brother Taibai, tell me quickly!" "Du Xiaomei" stuffed all the melon seeds she had prepared into Li Taibai, begging him not to play tricks.

"At that time, Ruan Tao's madness was cured, but he didn't know Wen Zhi anymore."

"what?"

"Ju Ruan Tao's neighbor said that when he was crazy, he was not completely crazy, but sometimes crazy and sometimes good. At that time, he often talked about some relatives, friends, and some things at home. After he was not crazy , but never mention it!

"On the contrary, it seems like he doesn't remember or know. Even Wen Zhi, who grew up with him and is like a brother, stands in front of him, and he doesn't even know him!"

"Wen Zhi originally wanted to take Ruan Tao back, but when he stood in front of Ruan Tao, Ruan Tao couldn't recognize him. He didn't dare to recognize Ruan Tao without authorization, for fear of stimulating him and giving birth to madness, so he also Take care of it silently. From time to time, let a few people pretend to be customers to take care of Ruan Tao's business, and also help Ruan Tao to spread his reputation."

"Otherwise, do you think that at such a young age and coming from another place, how could he gain a foothold in Shangjun so quickly?"

"Wen Zhi said that after his little brother recovered from his madness, he seemed to be a completely different person. His behavior and behavior were completely different from before!"

After all, Li Taibai had finished all the things he had investigated. He glanced at Zhao Su, and the young master really did. Go investigate people.

Even if Ruan Tao has been suffering from madness for a lifetime, it has nothing to do with them, right?

"It's really weird. Why don't you know anyone after you've recovered from your madness?"

"It's not like there are such examples." "Zhu Xiaoliang" touched his chin for a moment, then said, "Wang Xiang once said that some people will choose to forget to protect themselves after being greatly stimulated. Later, it was confirmed by several imperial physicians But there are examples like this.”

"However... Even if you choose to forget that unpleasant experience to protect yourself, this person is still the original person, but he has forgotten a part of the past, and his temperament and habits are naturally still the same as before."

As he said, "Zhu Xiaoliang" took the file from Zhao Su's hand, looked at the content on it carefully, and then frowned slightly, "In any case, it shouldn't happen that people who used to eat crispy cheese and milk I had a rash, but now I take it every day, but it doesn't hurt at all."

"It has appeared, have you forgotten?"

Zhao Su opened his mouth abruptly.

The other three present were all taken aback.

"Zhu Xiaoliang" said slowly: "You mean... Wang Xiang?"

Zhao Su didn't answer, but then he asked an irrelevant question: "Do you think it's a coincidence that when you are down and down, suddenly there is such a person who likes you very much regardless of appearance or temperament?"

He was leaning against the window, half of his face was illuminated by the candlelight, and half of his face was immersed in the moonlight. His eyes were washed by the moonlight and candlelight, and his eyes shone slightly.

The three of them would not answer if they didn't answer, it would be fine if the young master was an ordinary person, but he had such an identity, and he was in such a situation now.

Ruan Tao's appearance was too coincidental, so coincidental that it didn't seem like an arrangement from heaven.

"My lord is suspicious...but who could it be?" "Du Xiaomei" pondered, "Prince Wang? Prime Minister Li? Western Regions?"

"All coincidences don't necessarily mean that there is another name for coincidences between people." Li Taibai stretched his waist and said, "It's called fate."

Zhao Su's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and then he glanced at Li Taibai, with a vague smile on the corner of his mouth, like sarcasm or self-mockery: "You know I don't believe this."

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The glass-topped copper grandfather clock in the corner struck three times, and there was the sound of a watch outside.

Zhao Su got up and said, "It's time, let's all go back and rest. It's a tough day, and I was frightened. I asked someone to make ginger soup for you. Zimei's ginger milk is delicious. Remember to drink it while it's hot when you go back."

Du Zimei smiled and replied, "Isn't my name 'Du Xiaomei'?"

"That's true! My lord doesn't care what is causing the restlessness in Jingshui Temple today, but he is thinking about the origin of Xiao Langjun." "Zhu Xiaoliang" smiled and looked at Zhao Su teasingly.

"Young Master often said that His Majesty taught that the cause of joy and anger is not to be shown. You have been practicing this sentence for so many years. Except for Your Majesty, no one has really figured out your preferences. You can't, your Majesty sent you here?" Zhu Xiaoliang" replied.

Li Taibai said seriously: "It's clear that I was only moved by a one-sided relationship."

In the end, I have to figure out whether people deliberately please him like this.

Today, he only had a quick meeting with Ruan Tao, and he knew that this son was definitely not the one who flattered and flattered him.

If the young master really moved his mind, maybe in the future he would wish that this person was sent here deliberately to please him, otherwise...

The corner of Li Taibai's mouth twitched into a gleeful smile, this old tree blooms for people to see, but people disdain to look at it, so the old tree is so anxious to shed its leaves?

Seeing the three laughing teasingly and ripplingly, Zhao Su felt a little cramped, he coughed lightly, pretending to be serious and said: "Why don't you hurry to sleep? Go to the Wu Taishou's mansion early tomorrow morning to have a look."

"What are you going to Wu Taishou's mansion for?" Du Zimei asked puzzled.

Zhao Su reached out and tapped the table lightly: "Go and see that girl, who made her look like this at such a young age, since we bumped into her, we must seek justice for her. and……"

His eyes instantly became sharp: "This thing... I never believed in it before, but unexpectedly it really exists in this world. If someone in Shangjing knows about this sorcery..."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty is surrounded by many capable people, not to mention the Prime Minister!" Du Zimei replied, "I am worried about you, my lord...you are so dangerous today, why don't you just let me go tomorrow, my lord." You'd be safer staying at home."

Zhao Su was unmoved: "Back then, my father risked being assassinated to go on a tour of the East. How many dangers did he encounter along the way? Why? I'm still afraid that this little trick won't work?"

After finishing speaking, he drove a few people out and told them to go back to rest quickly.

They were led by a few girls with lamps to walk on the promenade. Du Zimei clasped her hands behind her head and muttered, "It's still a trick? If it wasn't for Brother Taibai today, we might all be stuck there!"

"This guy is real. On the one hand, he said that Ruan Jizhen liked him, maybe it was deliberately arranged by someone. On the other hand, there was no response from Ruan Jizhen, and he just moved forward."

"I can understand the ins and outs of what happened today. Ruan Jizhen didn't mean it at all. It's clear that he was curious and didn't follow up with the greeting. That's why he came out like this today."

"Hey! Did you all see this afternoon? He also gave away his hair tie to make clothes! Tsk! Who is trying to please whom?"

"As long as Ruan Jizhen is a woman, today's matter is enough for the group of people in Yushitai to get involved with him!" Du Zimei complained, "You said that this young man usually practiced self-restraint and reverence to the extreme, why is he doing things so out of line today? He even dragged us here and told him that Xiao Langjun has picked up all the ancestral graves in the middle of the night!"

"I see that Ruan Tao is just recovering from a serious illness, and it's common for his mind to be confused for a while. It is said that his behavior is quite different from before, but it is quite in line with their Ruan family! Maybe it is because he used to be too self-denial, and he suddenly lost his mind. Illness and amnesia just happened to release my nature."

"If this matter spreads to Jingzhong, let Ruan Ji know that the young master is so suspicious of his cousin. With his temper, why should he drag Jingzhong students to write articles and scold him? Ruan Ji's influence among the Tai students is obvious to all. If you don't do it well, you'll be left with a bad reputation for thousands of years!"

As he said that, his pace slowed down: "In so many years, this is the first time I've seen Young Master do things so lightly. What do you think is wrong with him?"

After Du Zimei babbled for a long time, she looked up at the two people beside her who were extremely puzzled.

Kong Ming and Li Taibai looked at each other, and then they laughed out loud.

Du Zimei was extremely puzzled by this: "What are you laughing at?"

Hearing this, Kong Ming and Li Taibai looked at each other and laughed even louder. The servants leading the way with lamps stopped in their tracks and looked at the two of them puzzled.

In the silent night, the laughter spread very far. At this moment, I heard the sound of closing the window with a "bang" from the direction of Zhao Su's yard.

Li Taibai and Kong Ming held back for a while, but finally couldn't help laughing even harder.

"What are you laughing at? Huh?" Du Zimei couldn't figure it out. He pulled the sleeves of the two and asked forcefully, "What's so funny?"

Li Taibai raised his hand and patted the back of his head, said with a smile: "You, you are still too young. After two more years, you will understand."

At this time, inside Zhao Su's house.

"What happy things did the two adults think of? Are you smiling so happily?" the servant helped Zhao Su get up from the window, and said casually.

Zhao Su paused his steps, and there was a tinge of red behind his ears. He pretended to be calm and said, "I guess I drank too much wine and went crazy."

The breeze invites the bright moon to shine, and the night is lonely and silent, only the dew of flowers and the hum of cicadas.

Who knows who was drunk.

At this time, Ruan Tao didn't know the twists and turns of this group of people who met by chance behind him.

He and Zigong drank until midnight, and then the two of them bathed and washed, and went to sleep all night.

Zigong got another big bed from some official who confiscated the house, and the two big men lay on it without any effort to roll. It was much more comfortable than Ruan Tao's own small wooden bed!

Ruan Tao had no dreams all night and slept soundly!

In the early morning of the next day, he got up early, tidied up hastily, and then decided to go to Wu Taishou's office to see Miss Gu's situation.

Before leaving, he did not forget to take the hair tie that Zhao Su gave him.

Zigong said that although the thing looked small, it was enough to buy three of them!

As the saying goes, people are short-handed. Ruan Tao thought that he would not accept such expensive things from others when he met by chance. He thought about going to Jinghuaifang after seeing Miss Gu for a while, and returning the things to her.

Early in the morning, Ruan Tao went out from Zigong's small shop. He thought that there would be no more troubles about Miss Gu.

Unexpectedly, when he was eating wontons on the street, he heard a strange incident from the people beside him today:

"Hey! Have you heard? Someone went to Jingshui Temple to offer incense early in the morning and found a strange thing!"

"What's the matter?"

"The jade-faced Avalokitesvara in the Guanyin Hall of Jingshui Temple has closed its eyes!"

"what?!"

"Clap!"

Ruan Tao trembled and smashed the bowl in his hand.

I saw the stall owner walking over with a smile: "Xiao Langjun, the wonton is five Wen, and the bowl is the old San Wen."
