Chapter 8: Destroying the Buddha and the Emperor
After knocking on the door a few times, the painted black door was already opened.
There was a guest coming today. The door was originally a vain and was about to open it. A middle-aged man who was more than six feet tall but had wide shoulders opened the door, wiped the sweat from running quickly, and first bowed his hand and said, "I just helped to carry a tank of pickled vegetables. I didn't open the door here, but let the young gentleman stand here."
First, I opened the door, and there were tables and chairs next to it, and there were pens, ink, paper and ink on the table.
Some things have been written on the paper, all of which are the names of the guests and the things they sent. They are all expensive. Some are the silks of the city, and some are rare golden phoenix papers. These are the four treasures of the best study that literati and elegant guests like, and are expensive.
The middle-aged man sat down, asked Qi Wuhuo's name, looked at the mountain goods being carried by the boy, and said with a smile:
"Okay, I'm sorry, Mr. Huh... the mountain goods at this time are rare."
"Master, you're lucky."
"I just don't know if we can eat more with the workmanship."
He smiled and recorded it, and then took out a red paper envelope from the side. Judging from the appearance, there were at least fifty large sums of money inside, which could be exchanged for seven kilograms of pork, five good brushes, or excellent ink and a squat, which was quite a lot. The middle-aged man smiled and said, "It's not just inviting guests to eat some food, but it's not about making money. It's normal to have come and go."
"It's not easy for me to come by these mountain products."
There were already footsteps.
"Where is Senior Brother Qi? Is Senior Brother Qi here?!"
Li Puyu, who had changed into a new outfit, rushed over. Since he had seen Qi Wuhuo last time and was shocked by the latter's unintentional soul, he felt an inexplicable sense of awe at Qi Wuhuo. He had been waiting inside early this morning. When he heard the conversation outside, he ran quickly.
When I saw Qi Wuhuo again, I just felt that the latter's aura was gentle and clear, but there was no such invisible oppression as before.
Li Puyu didn't know why, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Qi Wuhuo said, "Brother Li."
Li Puyu said, "What's your name? Just call me Puyu. Come on, don't stand here."
"Uncle Li, I'll trouble you with these things. Come on, Senior Brother Qi, my father is very happy to hear that you are coming. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Li Puyu was only a fifteen-year-old boy. He grabbed Qi Wuhuo's arm and ran quickly inside. When he first went in, there was a stone screen with the word "Fu" written on it. Then he went around. There was a narrow corridor. The vision inside opened. Li Puyu's father Li Yuelin was a middle-aged man who looked kind and kind. He looked more like an old farmer than a rich man.
It seems that it is too exhausting and has a lot of gray hair.
After Qi Wuhuo saw the ceremony, Li Yuelin was kind and quite friendly, but he only cared about greetings about his daily life.
He also said that his son has no prospects and should take care of him without any confusion.
Qi Wuhuo said: "Li..."
The voice paused and said, "I mean, Pu Yu is talented and naturally has auspicious appearances."
Li Yuelin smiled and shook his head, and said lightly: "How much does he have, can I not know?"
Li Puyu's face was stiff.
In front of outsiders, he harmed his son.
Dad, you are such a real dad!
Li Yuelin's son, whose face could not be tense, took out a silver from his wide sleeve, grabbed Qi Wuhuo's hand and said with a smile: "Ha... there is another month left to be the New Year's Day. In fact, now we can barely come to our home to pay New Year's greetings. During the New Year, our family is going to the city. Today is just right, I will give you the New Year's money this year."
"Not much, go buy some meat and see if you are so thin."
"You are fourteen years old when you say it, and you will be fifteen years old after the New Year. Do you have any girl you like? Have you ever talked about..."
Li Puyu's scalp was numb.
"Dad, let's go to find the second uncle first!"
"Dad, you have tea!"
"Dad, say goodbye!"
He pulled Qi Wuhuo's arm and walked quickly, and walked around the two yards before he let go. He breathed a sigh of relief and said sorry:
"Sorry, Senior Brother Qi, this is how my dad is."
"Although it's a big deal, it's so silly in life."
"I like to talk about big truths."
Li Puyu's second uncle is a younger man, but he seems to have been running outside for a long time, with a look of wind and frost on his face. I heard that he is an outsider, traveling around the world and knowledgeable. He made a lot of money this year, so he returned to his hometown and planned to settle down. When Li Puyu took Qi Wuhuo, the newly-promoted rich man was sitting alone on a peach wood chair in the sun, leaning against him. There was a long-necked wine pot on the table next to him, pouring himself and drinking, and he was a little lazy and decadent.
Only when I saw Li Puyu did I raise my eyes and smile:
"The uncensored jade is here?"
"Uncle Second, please don't drink it anymore. Why do you drink it like this in broad daylight?"
Li Puyu grabbed the wine glass of the second uncle Li Yixian, and then said, "This is my senior brother..., Qi Wuhuo."
"I'm very interested in the scenery of the capital. Uncle Second, aren't you a businessman in the capital? Let's talk about how it's like in the capital."
Finally, I will add one more sentence:
“I’m very interested, too.”
Li Yixian laughed: "So that's it. It seems that you respect your Senior Brother Qi very much."
"Come on, just sit here with me."
Qi Wuhuo thanked him and sat beside him. Li Yixian was full of alcohol and was quite depressed. He talked about the scenery everywhere in vain, talking about simple things that businessmen could come into contact with, and it was also the one who could scare Qi Wuhuo, a young man of age. Qi Wuhuo saw that he was wearing silk and satin, but his depressedness was hard to hide. He really didn't look like a rich businessman returning home.
I don’t know that the things in dreams are somewhat related to reality.
It's a simple dream.
Or is it a bit of deduction of the future?
While listening to Li Yi first chatting, the Li family dinner also began. Li Yuelin sat in the top seat, and the Li family members who came from the other towns chatted with each other. Li Yi first stared at the pot of wine, as if he was not going to continue talking. Qi Wuhuo took the wine glass and suddenly said, "But Mr. Li is very powerful."
Li Yixian was confused: "Hmm?"
Qi Wuhuo said: "The court promulgated the "Ascend the Deyin" three years ago, saying that those who are in the villages, villages, towns, and markets should be dealers with the people in the same way as the people, and they should not be able to take any false information."
"Under such a situation, doing business in Beijing can make a lot of money, which is also an extraordinary person."
This is a decree issued by the emperor three years ago when he ascended the throne, saying that when the army and officials are doing business, they should not receive any preferential treatment and should be treated the same as ordinary people.
Li Yixian was half drunk and half awake, and subconsciously said, "Isn't this a good thing?"
"Is it a good thing? I thought that in this case, it was accusation that the military and officials would do business. Their relationships and power, and even the convenience of knowing the movements of the court in advance, are not comparable to ordinary people. Ordinary people will be eaten up when they work with them. Not to mention making money, even the capital for doing business will be eaten up."
"In the end, I left the capital in a mess, but I was unwilling to return home, so I often disappeared on the road..."
!!!
Li Yixian's spine suddenly became cold, and the feeling of drunkenness disappeared instantly!
He looked up suddenly.
Seeing the boy in a simple blue shirt looking at him, his eyes were quiet.
It was as if all my experiences were seen through by this young young man who was still far from the capital.
Qi Wuhuo said, "It was Mr. Su who said so."
"Ah...this, that's it..."
"Hahaha, there are people like this, but I'm different."
Li Yixian smiled stiffly.
Then lower your head and have a drink.
At this moment, after Li Yuelin's opening remark, he began to ask the juniors to show their talents in front of many elders.
Li Puyu, who was sitting next to Qi Wuhuo, had his body stiffened.
He has been practicing the piano hard all the time. After visiting Qi Wuhuo, he originally planned to come to find his second uncle, but in the end he was pulled away to practice the piano. In order not to be embarrassed on this day, everyone's attention was focused on these juniors playing the piano. Only Li Yi was shocked by what Qi Wuhuo said, and subconsciously focused more on Qi Wuhuo's body.
Unconsciously speaking out more things and all kinds of experiences and experiences in the capital.
Some of the names you have experienced and heard of, and some of them can be corresponding.
But what happened failed to fit everything.
It seems like a dream but not a dream, it seems like a true but not a true.
Qi Wuhuo was quiet for a while and said, "Then, there is a mountain outside the mountain in the capital called Dingyanfeng. Does Mr. Li know?"
"I know, the mountain looks like a tripod, and smoke is generated during the sun. There is also a Taoist temple on it."
"I went to worship."
"Is that true? So, is the mountain god Qiongyu enshrined in the Taoist temple?"
Li Yixian's drinking action paused and said in confusion: "The Taoist temple worships the ancestors of Taoism."
"How could it be the mountain god?"
"Qiongyu? Is this the name of which mountain god?"
Qi Wuhuo calmed down and replied with a smile:
"So that's it...then, I probably remembered it wrong."
Qi Wuhuo lowered his head, looked at the ripples in the cup, and suddenly laughed, and felt a wonderful feeling. In that capital, the names that were once friends with him and enemies with him were experiencing a life that was familiar but different from what he knew. Some people's names even didn't match their dreams, which seemed true and false, neither true nor false.
And I live alone.
Suddenly he felt an indescribable feeling, as if he had walked out, and as if he was the continuation of the dream.
Is it a dream or a true dream? Is it a general or a general or a general or a general or a general or a general or a general or a general or a general or a general or a general or a minister to return to youth?
Zhuang Zhou dreams of butterflies, butterflies dream of Zhuang Zhou.
Li Yixian couldn't hear the boy's question, looked up in confusion, and saw the boy in blue sitting there, not knowing what he was thinking. At this time, Li Puyu finally barely finished playing a song. He pressed his father's increasingly frowning brows and the teacher's pressure that almost pulled off his beard. He breathed a sigh of relief and pushed the piano to the side, saying, "It's your turn, it's your turn!"
After sitting down, I remembered that Qi Wuhuo was next to me.
Instead of the next clan brother who should have played the piano.
Qi Wuhuo has always been poor and thought he would not be able to play the piano. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the boy in blue shirt pressing his finger on the guqin.
Use a little force on your fingers.
The next moment.
The piano sounded like a crack of silk.
The room where the trivial chatter suddenly became quiet, the piano sound was clear, and the whole hall could be heard clearly, as if it was attracted by the heart.
Inside and outside the house.
Human and non-human.
It was quiet for a moment.
"The sound of the piano enters the Tao, and the soul is born?!"
Outside the Li family, a Taoist changed his face instantly.
Chapter completed!
