After all, after spending a year with Xu Huaigu day and night, even Gu Sanyue, who had never had the habit of drinking before, would drink some under the influence.
But he could only drink, and he was far from being as addicted to alcohol as Xu Huaigu. If Xu Huaigu is to speak, Gu Sanyue has traveled far less in the world.
The more you travel on the Jianghu Road, the greater your drinking capacity will naturally be. Look at those old fritters who are wandering around the world. Regardless of men or women, who doesn’t like to drink?
Zuo Qiuxun, Huang Shan, Li Siqing... they are everywhere. Of course, Bai Xiaoyu does not count, but she is addicted to tea. In a sense, the nature is similar.
At least that's what Xu Huaigu told himself. Fortunately, the wine tonight was really good. It seemed that Xu Huaigu had not drunk such delicious fairy wine for a long time, and he was worried about himself, so he was a little drunk.
He only heard fragments of what Gu Sanyue said. When Gu Sanyue said he was excited, he laughed a few times, and Xu Huaigu pretended to nod at this time to let her know that he was listening. In fact, his mind was not on that at all.
Anyway, for more than a year, this is pretty much how the master and apprentice came together. There is not so much emphasis on politeness, as long as both of us feel comfortable.
Until I heard Gu Sanyue said: "Master, what did you and Xu Songtu say before... You and his master talked about business. What business was it?" This was not a bridge that could be dealt with by just nodding. Xu Huaigu knew that he couldn't avoid it. Yes, but he was still a little drunk, so he said in a daze: "Ah... you are talking about this. You don't know something. It is said that there is a yang copper mine in Bailiang Mountain. Xu Songtu's master is because of that It was only after a mine that I decided to establish a sect in Bailiang Mountain." Gu Sanyue was confused when he heard this, and asked: "Yangtong Mine? What is this? Why haven't I heard of it?" Xu Huaigu felt in his pocket and took it He took out a small bead coin, put it on the table, pointed at it and said, "See, small bead coin, this thing is made of galvanized copper." Only then did Gu Sanyue understand and said, "That's it. , I have long heard that there is a special mineral for casting immortal coins, and it turns out to be yang copper. But there is yang copper on this mountain, what does it have to do with you, master?" Xu Huaigu shook his head and said: "Silly apprentice, since this yang copper It's a mineral used to cast bead money. Isn't that mountain that hides the copper veins a mountain of money? There is so much money piled in front of you. If it were you, would you like it?" Only then did Gu Sanyule realize. , said in surprise: "Of course! It's just... Master, you just happened upon this incident, and you got a share of the mine? Is it because those who saw it got a share?" Xu Huaigu held his forehead and said helplessly: "God It would be great if there was such easy money down there. If your master hadn't been at a high enough level, he might have died just by encountering this. But fortunately, they knew they couldn't touch me, so this happened. There is room for negotiation." Next, Xu Huaigu told Gu Sanyue all the details of the transaction discussed with Fang Shengming, including the identities of Wangchuan Heshui and Fang He.
But after hearing this, Gu Sanyue was not only not happy, but also worried, saying: "Master, just for this money, you are going to tie yourself to Bailiang Mountain? This mountain sect goes against the rules of the monk world. If in the future If I cause any trouble, won't I also implicate you? I always feel that it's not worth it to do this for the money." Xu Huaigu took another sip of wine and frowned: "Then what can I do? Do you think your master has a lot of money now? Huh? To tell you the truth, the expenses along the way are really not small. Your master is just a pauper now. If you don’t think of ways to make money, how will you live in the future?" Gu Sanyue lowered his head and persuaded: "The worst thing we can do is save some money in the future. It's not like I can't afford the hardship. We won't stay in the Xianjia Inn on the road from now on, we can stay in ordinary inns, and I can also use less herbs to nourish myself. In short, I would rather live a worse life. I still don’t want Master to get involved in these things." Xu Huaigu looked directly at Gu Sanyue, chuckled, and said, "What? Are you caring about me?" Gu Sanyue paused, lowered his head and fell silent.
Xu Huaigu drank all the wine in the bowl, stood up, stretched, and said lightly: "I'm sleepy, go to bed." Then he walked into the house and really went to bed.
Gu Sanyue frowned and thought for a while, then went back to his room to rest. ...For Xu Huaigu and Gu Sanyue, a week passed in the blink of an eye.
One of them practiced swordsmanship and the other practiced swordsmanship. Except for Gu Sanyue who had to go out to buy some food and drinks from time to time, the two of them stayed in the house all day.
When the agreed time came that week, Xu Huaigu took Gu Sanyue and prepared to go up the mountain. Gu Sanyue was still thinking about the little girl named Fang He, so he was naturally willing to go.
When it was just dawn, the two of them went out. But just after walking out of two streets and alleys, before leaving the city, I heard the sound of firecrackers in the distance, and I could also vaguely hear the sound of suona and the cheers of the crowd.
Gu Sanyue glanced in that direction curiously, and then continued to follow Xu Huaigu out of the city.
Unexpectedly, after walking not far, the sound of the suona got closer and closer, and finally they met the two of them on a street.
It turned out that the sound of the suona and firecrackers came from a wedding procession. There were several shirtless men carrying a sedan chair, probably to greet the bride, and were walking towards Xu Huaigu.
It is naturally a joy to meet such a happy event so early in the morning. Gu Sanyue looked over there happily and said, "There is someone getting married." Xu Huaigu took a look, nodded and said, "Yueyue, go over and ask for a lucky draw." Gu Sanyue agreed, generously He walked towards the wedding line.
Then a man wearing brand new bright red clothes walked out of the queue with a smile on his face and handed a red envelope to Gu Sanyue who was passing by.
It turns out that according to local customs, if you meet a passerby on the wedding road, you must give a red envelope, which is said to be a part of the meeting and gather good luck, so there is nothing wrong with Gu Sanyue's move.
After taking the red envelope and saying some auspicious words to the family as usual, such as a happy marriage and the birth of a child soon, Gu Sanyue followed Xu Huaigu's order, got a lucky draw, and ran back to him.
Xu Huaigu stretched out his hand and Gu Sanyue handed him the red envelope. He took the red envelope and touched it. There should be about ten copper coins in it.
Ordinary people only have so much money to get married. Gu Sanyule said with a smile: "Master, we've got the lottery, let's go!" Xu Huaigu shook his head and stayed where he was, as if waiting for the wedding procession to come over.
Gu Sanyue didn't know why he stayed, but she saw Xu Huaigu did something that surprised her even more.
He opened the red envelope, took out a copper coin, stuffed a small bead coin back inside, and then sealed it again.
The wedding queue soon arrived, and the man who had given Gu Sanyue a red envelope walked out of the queue again, took out a red envelope from his arms, and handed it to Xu Huaigu with a smile on his face.
Xu Huaigu also took it with a smile and asked: "May I ask the groom, is the bride's surname He?" The man was stunned for a moment, seemed to be surprised, nodded and said: "Exactly, how do you know, sir?" "Xu Huaigu smiled gently and said, "I have an old relationship with Miss He's father. I heard him say that he had found a marriage for He Qiaoer a few days ago. I didn't expect that it only took a week and we got married so quickly." The man handed over his hand. After bowing, he said: "It turns out that I am my father-in-law's friend. I am very polite. Qiao'er and I hit it off immediately and got along very well. No, it's better to choose a different date than to hit it, so we can get married as soon as possible." Gu Sanyue saw the sedan chair. The curtain on the window was opened, and a woman wearing a red hijab looked out the window.
Xu Huaigu took out the red envelope with a small bead money stuffed in it, handed it to the man and said, "Since I am an acquaintance, according to the rules, I have to seal a red envelope for Qiaoer. I have something urgent to do and have to leave the city, so in a hurry I just I have prepared this and asked the groom to accept it." The man looked at the red envelope and saw Gu Sanyue standing next to Xu Huaigu. The red envelope was clearly the one he had given out before, and he just wanted to return one of his red envelopes. Just yourself.
So he accepted the red envelope and put it in his arms, ready to give it out when he saw someone else again.
But when he looked back, he thought that since this was for He Qiaoer, although the money was small, it was still a heartfelt gesture, so he took it out again and handed it to He Qiaoer from the curtain of the sedan chair.
When Xu Huaigu saw this scene, he raised his hands and blessed: "Young Master and Madam are blessed. I wish you both a happy marriage and a happy son." The man also smiled and thanked her, and walked back to the group.
Then the suona sounded again, and the wedding procession passed by Xu Huaigu and Gu Sanyue and walked towards the distance of the street.
Gu Sanyue curiously watched Xu Huaigu finish all this, and said: "Master, I didn't expect you to be so kind-hearted." Xu Huaigu took a step forward and said as he walked: "If it were normal days, naturally he wouldn't do this. But I When I went to Bailiang Mountain a few days ago, I met the girl named He by chance, and we are considered acquaintances. By doing this, I also formed a good relationship."
"Besides, if that man treats the red envelope as the one he gave to you before and disdains it, this good relationship may be gone. So why should I say that the two of them are lucky?" Gu Sanyue opened his eyes. With big eyes, he suddenly realized, and said: "Master, you have such a meaning." Xu Huaigu watched the welcoming team go away and said: "It took some time, it's time to go up the mountain to do business." Gu Sanyue Worship Site Nodding, in her heart, she always felt that Master was becoming more and more magical in his work.
If one day I have the ability of my master, I will help others more. The weather was just right in the morning, the air was fresh, and the chirping of swallows came from the eaves of someone's house, creating a peaceful and beautiful scene.
So the master and the disciple continued to go to Bailiang Mountain with brisk steps.
