The second master's driving skills were getting better and better, and he also liked Wei Yu's character very much. He couldn't help but ask: "Wei patrol, do you want to stay in the county government temporarily?"
Wei Yu really didn't have a place to stay, but she didn't want to live somewhere, so she hesitated for a while.
Fei Lian interjected from the side: "Brother Ninth wants to cook, so naturally he has to live in our temple."
Wu Wanli glanced at Fei Lian on his horse, then tilted his head and looked at Su Jiu Yao. Seeing the latter's silence, he raised the corner of his mouth and said nothing.
Anxian Cheng drove the car, and Wu Dutou followed on horseback. When he entered the city, everyone looked at him, and when he entered the street, pedestrians looked at him.
When passing by Mingli Restaurant, Wang Lai, the boy who was seeing guests off at the door, saw him and immediately shouted: "Wu Dutou!"
In an instant, shopkeeper Ming poked her head out and saw Wu Wanli. Without thinking, she hurried forward and faced Wu Wanli's mount without evading it.
Wu Wanli hurriedly reined in the horse, and Mingli wrapped her arms around the reins and said coquettishly, "Oh, I almost hurt her."
At this moment, the sun was rising, and there were many pedestrians on the street. Wu Wanli frowned and said, "Shopkeeper Ming, please respect yourself."
Mingli looked up at him and smiled: "Why don't you respect yourself? Your horse hit someone, why don't you let them shout? It's so heartless." As she spoke, she caught a glimpse of An Cheng next to her and said immediately: " Second Master, why did you...change your job?"
An Cheng smiled with a good temper: "It's a long story."
Ming Li looked at the two people with round eyes, and then looked at the carriage: "Who can be worthy of your second master driving the carriage, and Brother Wu escorting you? Could it be... Xiao Jiu Yao?"
Seeing that there were more and more people, Wu Wanli said: "Get out of the way, don't let Luo Su go."
Mingli put her hands on her hips and raised her eyebrows: "It doesn't make sense, I am also thinking about that boy..."
Before he finished speaking, Fei Lian jumped out of the carriage and said, "Shopkeeper Ming, just ask me what you want to ask!" He took Ming Li's hand and persuaded her to move aside.
Wu Wanli hurriedly shook the reins and immediately left with An Cheng.
Ming Li shouted from behind: "Wait a minute, I haven't finished speaking yet!"
Fei Lian stopped him and said, "Listen to me, Brother Ninth is fine. We are about to go back to the temple. By the way, do you have any good lotus roots here?"
Mingli blinked: "It's not serious... That's good, lotus root? What lotus root?"
"The porridge cook, brother Jiu wants to cook," Fei Lian recounted his family treasures: "I also want to go to Lao Zhangtou to get a piece of tender tofu to make lotus leaf tofu, and also buy some rice, add mung bean powder, and make jade rice. eat."
Ming Li was even more shocked: "What kind of day is it today, and he is willing to cook? He is also cooking and eating. Is this the sun rising in the west, or is some god descending to earth?"
What appeared in front of Fei Lian's eyes was Wei Yu's face that was bright and beautiful when she smiled, and rustled with ice when she wasn't smiling. He smiled and said, "I don't know if he is a god or some kind of enchanting spirit."
Ming Li's eyes rolled: "Lotus root porridge, lotus leaf tofu, jade crumb rice, tsk! Needless to say, this is really serving the gods!"
Chunyang Palace had also been prominent for a while.
Now that it has declined, the red paint on the courtyard wall has long faded to colorless, and the stone bricks on the ground are pitted.
The sparse weeds at the door were scattered here and there. There were originally two stone lions, but whether they were damaged by wind, rain or human hands, their faces were somewhat blurred and they looked a little naive.
There are only vaguely visible carvings left on the plaque on the gate. Those intricate brackets and the colorful paintings on the beams have become mottled, but the various cloud patterns carved on the beams have become clearer and more revealing. A kind of bleak majesty.
Especially the stone pillars next to it are surrounded by several cloud dragons, winding straight up. After being eroded by wind and rain, they become more and more powerful, with a ferocious posture and lifelike appearance.
Wei Yu only looked at it and didn't pay attention to his foot slipping.
Anxian Cheng hurriedly supported her. It turned out that the bluestone steps were also damaged in several places. You had to be very careful when going up and down. If you were not careful, you would miss the step.
"I'll send you here. If you have any orders, just send someone to the county government office to report." The Prime Minister of Anxian County was polite and reluctant, and asked: "Do you want to leave two people here to serve?"
"You have to bear more," Wei Yu hurriedly declined and said, "The second master has been tired all the way and suffered some fright. He should go back and rest."
Anxian Cheng had a lot to say, but he was really tired. After all, he was a scribe and not a military attache. He also thought that Wei Yu was here anyway, so he could come to visit him after he had rested.
Moreover, there may be something going on at the county government office, so we can't delay.
Although Wu Wanli was not tired and wanted to stay, he was also worried about the county government affairs, so he only whispered a few words to Su Jiuyao and went with An Cheng first.
Wei Yu waved goodbye and turned around to see Su Jiuyao standing on the steps behind him, next to the big dragon pillar.
At this moment, he was just a young man, not tall enough, injured, and even less energetic. But when he stood like this, he had an aloof and scornful attitude, which made Wei Yu couldn't help but think of the man who stood among the thousands of troops. In the middle, General Taotie is commanding Ruoding.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, but she didn't notice that the civet cat nuzzled beside Su Jiuyao and had already entered the Chunyang Temple.
And not long after the civet cat entered, someone shouted: "Is it Mr. Cat? Is Mr. Cat back?!"
Then several voices shouted: "Master Cat? Is that Brother Fei Lian is back?"
Fei Lian was already a very young child, and someone still called him brother. This was simply... Wei Yu was surprised. He only took two steps forward when he saw several children stumbling out of Chunyang Temple. He saw Su Jiuyao at a glance. Standing at the door, I liked it even more and shouted loudly: "Brother Ninth, Brother Ninth!"
In an instant, four or five children surrounded Su Jiuyao. The oldest of these children was probably only seven or eight years old, and the youngest was staggering and looked like he was only three or four years old. Several pairs of small hands invariably tried to hug Su Jiuyao. , Wei Yu was dumbfounded.
When he saw these children, Su Jiuyao's expressionless face suddenly showed a smile, as if a ray of sunshine appeared in the cold winter.
He laughed for a while and touched the children's heads one by one. When he turned around and saw Wei Yu staring at him, he stopped smiling and said, "Please come in."
Wei Yu held back her suspicion, lifted her robe, and stepped up the steps. When the children saw Su Jiuyao talking to Wei Yu, they couldn't help but look at her curiously.
Wei Yu has been with Ji Wang Li Xingyuan since she was a child. She is used to big scenes and the feeling of being in a crowd of thousands of people. She has always been calm and calm about it.
But at this moment, being surrounded by these ignorant children and staring at them, I don't know why I feel like I can't cope with it.
If there are any bold children, they will approach Wei Yu and ask, "Who are you?"
Those timid ones hid behind Su Jiuyao and whispered, "Brother Jiu, who is that?"
Su Jiuyao coughed and asked, "Where is the old Taoist priest?"
Several children answered together: "Grandpa Shiraishi is sleeping." Others said: "Grandpa is drunk again." There were different opinions.
Su Jiuyao's eyes darkened slightly as he led the children through the door. There were already children jumping in to report the news.
Wei Yu was busy looking at the situation inside Chunyang Temple, but before he had time to look at the scenery, he found a child lying at the door of one of the rooms. He looked to be only two or three years old. His body was covered with dust and his hair was Messy.
Her eyes almost popped out, and she couldn't help but glance at Su Jiuyao again. The child also saw Su Jiuyao, and raised a hand from the ground, giggling as if to say hello.
Su Jiuyao quickly stepped forward and picked up the child. The baby was busy hugging his neck, and the other children saw this and shouted: "I want to hug him too!"
Wei Yu held his breath and just stared. Unexpectedly, Su Jiuyao sniffed the child's mouth, and a look of anger flashed in his eyes. He turned around and handed the child to Wei Yu. Wei Yu didn't have time to think about it, and instinctively reached out to take it.
Su Jiuyao strode forward, pushed open the half-open door, and a strong smell of alcohol rushed out.
"You old bastard!" the young man cursed, "You are willing to die and don't harm others!"
Wei Yu didn't know why, but saw other children running over one after another, and someone shouted: "Brother Ninth, don't be angry!"
Some said: "Brother Ninth, don't fight with Grandpa..."
The child in Wei Yu's arms seemed to feel it too. His mouth flattened and big tears rolled out, leaving two wet marks on his face.
Wei Yuzheng looked inside and saw Su Jiuyao grabbing an old man with a flying beard and hair on the couch: "You are just drunk to death. Since you still have breath, why don't you even look at them?"
The old man was shaken from side to side by him, as if he was a skeleton with no resistance. He finally opened his eyes and said sleepily: "Oh, you came back alive... I thought you broke in." It's a disaster, it's certain death...that's why..."
As he spoke, he burped with wine, which made Su Jiuyao throw him far away.
Wei Yu finally saw that he was wearing an old Taoist robe that was so dirty that he could not see his true colors. Just as she was guessing what the relationship between the two was, the child in her arms started crying loudly.
The two people in the room were startled by the cry. The old Taoist priest looked over with blurred eyes, and immediately laughed: "Hey, Xiaojiu, am I drunk to death? Otherwise, where did the Nine Heavens Xuannv empress come from?"
The light and shadow at the door flickered, and Wei Yuren was among them. The light dyed her robes and hair crown all white, as if she had brought a ball of light with her. Only her gentle facial features became more and more vivid, and she was really like a goddess descending.
Wei Yuqing knew that the old Taoist priest was a drunken delusion, so he just smiled, walked around with the child in his arms.
A few bold children took the opportunity to run in and said, "Grandpa Baishi, those are the guests brought back by Brother Ninth."
"Guest?" the old Taoist priest read, looked at Su Jiuyao again, and said with a smile: "Xiaojiu, don't you be young and have a twisted mind? Where did you get such a beautiful woman, let alone kidnapped her from a good family. …”
Su Jiuyao's face turned pale with anger: "If you say one more thing, I will really take action."
The old Taoist clicked his tongue: "I'm doing this for your own good. There's nothing to be ashamed of. You're not my orthodox disciple. Besides, even if you're an orthodox disciple, it's easy to return to secular life. You can also form a contract among Taoists. Repairing."
Just as Su Jiuyao was about to raise his hand, several children hurriedly hugged him: "Brother Jiuyao, don't be angry!"
The old Taoist priest took advantage of the situation and went back and said: "Since you are back, take care of your children. After being quarreled by them for half a month, my old Taoist priest's life will be short-lived."
Seeing Su Jiuyao being pulled out of the room by several children, the old Taoist priest yawned. Suddenly he saw the raccoon cat squatting in front of him, sitting solemnly and upright. The old Taoist priest reached out to touch the cat: "It's better to be my raccoon slave... ..." Before he finished speaking, Mr. Cat pawed over like lightning.
Su Jiuyao was frightened and calmed down a little when he heard the old Taoist priest inside screaming as he was beaten by a cat.
He thought about it and turned around, only to see several more children surrounding Wei Yu under the eaves. Wei Yu was holding a water-soaked handkerchief to wipe the face of the child who was crawling on the ground and covered with dirt.
Her movements were gentle and her expression was very focused. Looking at this scene, Su Jiuyao felt as if something was hit hard in his heart, causing a dull pain.
