The mansion that the old woman mentioned was actually just a two-story building. For the woman from Dayuan, this building was not really a mansion. It was just a residence at most. Fortunately, although the building was bounded by It's not big, but it has an exquisite layout. In addition to the second floor, there is also a courtyard outside. Although it is winter and spring, you can already vaguely glimpse the summer night scenery, which is also particularly unique and elegant.
The old woman asked the two maids to tie the black carp for the woman, and then arranged to make some lunch. Then she slowly walked to the courtyard to sit down and rest for a while.
"Young lady came from Dayuan. I wonder what you want to do with this trip?" the old woman asked warmly. Immediately, a maid brought two cups of hot tea and some refreshments. After receiving the instructions from the old woman, she bowed and stepped back, walking lightly on her lotus steps. , she doesn't look like an ordinary maid at all, her behavior is quite decent.
"I'm a little bored living at home and traveling around the world," the woman answered, taking a moment to look at the old woman in front of her carefully, "A bird is long in its cage, but it still wants to fly far away. The senior's eyesight is so refined that it can be seen at a glance. Seeing that my little girl comes from Dayuan, it’s even more unusual to see her here.”
"The rude words Liu Erlang just said made the girl draw the knife with more than one point of force. Even though I have been familiar with palm skills since childhood, I almost couldn't suppress it. Speaking of which, Liu Erlang should be grateful. You are the one. If you girl really has murderous intentions, how can I stop you because of my old age and frailty?" The old woman had a smile on her face and gently put a tea snack into her mouth, probably a shortbread. The outer skin was a bit hard, and he drank imported tea, so he swallowed it, and then continued, "Besides, the unadulterated black horse at the door is probably a good horse that is hard to find in the Great Yuan Dynasty. Don't say that I am empty. Living to the age of sixty, anyone with some eyesight in the world can get a rough idea with just a quick glance."
The woman also picked up a tea cake and placed it in her mouth like an old woman. But before she could refill the tea, she had already chewed up the tea cake and swallowed it, looking a little embarrassed.
The old woman saw it, but she just smiled and continued, "It's true that I have some knowledge, but I feel ashamed. I have been practicing martial arts with my father since I was a child, and I have become very good at it." The palm technique, when you were your age, you also walked through the rivers and lakes in the snow and the sun, and beat people with the palm technique, which is also called cutting the shoulders, legs and feet with the sword. Now that I think about it, it is quite interesting."
When someone is in high spirits, he doesn't want to go into the world.
The sword shines brightly, the wine drips from the chest and the mud dips into the green sleeves. For many heroic women, they would rather abandon Su Luo Rouge and pursue it quickly, let alone countless young men.
By some strange coincidence, the woman looked at the old woman who suddenly felt energetic, and felt a little depressed for no reason.
The old woman did not look at the woman, but whistled, and she saw a raccoon slave, who was just like a ball of velvet, jump out from the dead vines in the courtyard that had not yet returned to spring, jumped straight into the old woman's arms, and rolled her belly into the old woman's arms. Turned out, she looks like a charming and naive woman.
This raccoon slave has a completely black body, except for the tip of its tail, which is decorated with a white flower. The color of its fur is very particular, and is usually called a black jade pendant. It is rarely seen in the market. Ordinary people who are not high-ranking officials want to hire such a raccoon slave. It is extremely difficult to find a good-looking raccoon slave. The matter of hiring raccoon slaves has been paid attention to for generations. It is best to do it when the winter snow first falls. When the raccoon slave is brought back to his home when he is a child, he needs to wrap the raccoon slave in a soft blanket such as a hushu, and then use fish and salt to lure him. If the raccoon slave refuses to obey and does not want to go back home with him, the family will have to choose a good time to come and recruit him. Only by repeating this process can he take the raccoon slave back and caress it all day long.
Dayuan Li slaves are extremely rare. There are only two or three of them in the Ziluan Palace. But in terms of appearance, I am afraid that none of them can match the one in front of me. Not to mention that the eyes are clear and bright. The satin-like fur looks like ink, which makes the woman's eyes glow with joy.
"So, I understand these twists and turns in the rivers and lakes better than you young people who have just entered the rivers and lakes." The old woman gently rubbed the Li Nu's belly, causing the black jade bead to purr, and in a blink of an eye, she looked around. The woman's expression was not stingy, she put her palms under the raccoon slave's armpits, then handed them to the woman's lap, and said kindly, "I am getting older, and this raccoon slave has been taking some amazing medicine all day long. A few kilograms of soft belly will grow in just one or two years, so let the younger ones do it, maybe it can help this naughty cat to slide smoothly."
The raccoon slave was not afraid of anything. He lay down in the woman's arms and closed his eyes. His silver beard was trembling, waiting for the woman to comb the fur. On the contrary, the latter was at a loss what to do, so he had to stretch out his jade hand and slowly caress the raccoon. slave back.
"Is this place considered a river and lake?" The woman looked at the old woman.
"Where is the world?" The old woman smiled. It was clear that the lines on her face were intertwined and wrinkles were piled up. Even when she was funny, she still felt that the old woman in front of her must have been very beautiful when she was young.
"In the beginning, Jianghu meant that people from all over the world gathered and made appointments to drink and have fun, or to fight and practice martial arts. It was so uncomfortable. Later, Jianghu was no longer limited to the original meaning of the word, merchants fighting in the streets and courts. , or even a village or a town, can be called a river and a lake. Some people are rivers and lakes. Although this is a cliché, it is still true today."
"A dragon can't beat a snake. Even if you are more capable than others, you can't beat four hands with two fists. Or maybe you have the ability to beat four hands with two fists. So what about six hands? What about a hundred hands? Xingxing There are rules in the business. For example, in the market just now, if the transaction cannot be completed, it is nothing more than return. But if you point out someone else's deer skin on the street as fake, this is ruining the rules of the business world. If others listen, If it spreads, how should we conduct business, and cause any trouble or even violence, it is normal."
The woman rubbed Li Nu's ears, but her tone was steady and steady, "But that merchant is indeed deceiving the customers, shouldn't he just ignore it?"
The old woman was stunned.
Then he smiled bitterly.
She seemed to have heard this many times when she was young, but since she left the world alone and settled in Pingxiyi alone, she has never heard it again.
"There are some things that you know are wrong, but you can't say them or touch them. You'd rather keep the words in your stomach and let them rot in your intestines than speak. Words are like pouring water from a ladle. If you say them out, you won't stop them. If I don’t come back, I’m afraid one day my head will fall to the ground and I won’t know who I offended.”
"Speaking out for justice is never a good move in the world."
"Girl, please remember this: when you are alone, you can say what you say and do what you do. Even if you die in the world, you can still make a happy life. But if your parents are still alive and your wife and children are waiting at home, you can't do anything. Just be careful what you say. It’s good to be happy and carefree, but you have to think about others.”
The old woman's tone was sad, but her expression was extremely dull. She raised her finger and pointed to the small courtyard in front of her, "This two-story building and the small courtyard were supposed to be a place where the two of them could live in peace and take care of themselves for the rest of their lives. But just because of these four words of righteousness, it was useless. I am left here alone."
"At that time, it would be great to take turns hugging the raccoon slaves, make porridge and side dishes, and return home peacefully."
When there is great hatred, there is no strength left in the skin.
On the day I lose someone, I only think about how that person would be here.
