Zhou Yuanfu was angry when he saw Tian Feng, thinking that Zhao Yun could not recruit him. He was angry with his master when he met Tian Feng. He was trying to force himself to death.
"My master has mentioned Uncle Tian's name many times, but I just didn't think of it. Master gave me this title because he misses people when he meets them and misses his old friends."
The old monk burst out laughing when he heard this, "That makes sense."
Tian Feng snorted, "You are so ugly, but you have a clever mouth."
Zhou Yuanfu fell into embarrassment again and stopped talking.
After the funeral hall was decorated, the old monk paid homage first.
When it was Tian Feng's turn, Tian Feng put a few incense sticks into the incense burner, patted the coffin and said:
"You refused to listen to me, so you fell into a coffin, while I stood before your soul.
When I gossip, I think about those days when we were chatting happily at night under the lights.
Now that the oil lamp is here, we are on earth and you are in heaven.
Don’t go too far, don’t go too far. How can you finish your great work before it is accomplished?”
After saying that, he patted the coffin three times and walked away.
The old monk was not surprised and did not explain to Zhou Yuanfu, "You can handle your business today and we will discuss it in detail tomorrow."
Zhou Yuanfu was shocked and dumbfounded by Tian Feng's actions. He thought to himself that he was really a weird old man. When he saw the old monk's order, he quickly agreed.
After seeing off the two old men, Zhou Yuanfu remembered that there were still three brothers in the underground palace, so he hurriedly ran in, lay down at the mouth of the well and took a look. It was so dark below that he couldn't see anything clearly. He shouted twice more, and Cui Niubi's voice rang out.
"Brother, I thought you just threw us into the well and let us starve to death holding our gold and silver?"
Zhou Yuanfu tightened the rope and asked Cui Niubi to come up.
After Cui Niupi came up, he drank a few bowls of water to catch his breath.
"Brother, do you want to go down and take a look? You probably won't want to come up after reading it. There are indeed treasures in the underground palace, with piles of gold and silver."
Zhou Yuanfu was worried about the safety of Pei Yuanshao and Xu Yuanzhi.
"Then why didn't the two of them come up? But what mechanism did they encounter?"
"Brother, don't worry, we haven't encountered any of the institutions you mentioned. The space below is vast, and the two of them are counting the gold and silver. Let me come up to report to you that you are safe. I have been waiting at the bottom of the well for so long. I guess they will soon
Come up."
Just as he was talking, he heard the two people below shouting and pulled him up one by one. The two brothers were also beaming with joy.
Xu Yuanzhi said: "Brother, we have made a fortune this time. My second brother and I did a rough inventory. There are more than 10,000 taels of gold, 400,000 taels of silver, and some jewelry, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings."
"How big of an official can I buy if I buy an official from the imperial court?" Zhou Yuanfu had no idea about gold and silver, so he asked.
Xu Yuanzhi didn't know, "We're not very proficient in this. I guess we can buy several prefects with this money."
No matter what, this is a happy event. Zhou Yuanfu arranged for people to take out some gold and silver jewelry and hide Zhang Jiao's body inside.
In the early morning of the next day, Zhou Yuanfu went to find the old monk excitedly, and as expected, Tian Feng was also there.
When the old monk saw Zhou Yuanfu coming, he smiled and said, "Yuanfu is blessed. I have always been reluctant to drink a piece of good tea. It just so happened that you caught up with me."
Then he took out a piece of tea cake, roasted it carefully on the fire, ground it into powder and put it into a bowl, then poured boiling water into it, and finally added some chopped green onion and ginger slices.
Zhou Yuanfu was stunned by this mysterious operation. He picked it up and took a sip silently. Well, the difference between tea soup, spinach soup, seaweed soup and egg drop soup is that this is tea soup.
Looking back, Tian Feng and the old abbot were both drinking with intoxicated expressions on their faces, sipping and sipping like nectar.
Tian Feng saw Zhou Yuanfu finish the drink in three gulps, and then looked at them blankly, and said to the old abbot: "Look, it's a waste of good things. If you give him a drink, it's like a cow chewing peonies. It's a waste of natural resources."
The old monk laughed heartily after hearing this.
Zhou Yuanfu thought to himself that you have chopped all the good tea leaves into fine pieces (jasmine tea leaves), and you are still laughing at me here.
"Is this just a little bit of tea that has made you drunk? I guess you have never tasted many good teas, and you haven't tasted Biluochun, right? After brewing, the soup is green and clear, and after drinking it is bitter at first and then sweet, with a lingering sweet aftertaste. Iron
What about Guanyin? Tieguanyin is not the Guanyin offered on the Buddha table, but is soaked in a cup. The soup is golden in color, fragrant and mellow and sweet when drunk. I guess you don’t know about West Lake Longjing? The best West Lake Longjing is picked before the Qingming Festival.
, one bud and one leaf, with a fragrant taste. There are also Pu'er tea, black tea, Maojian, Lu'an Guapian, and oolong tea, and you don't even know about it?"
The two old men had been stunned for a long time. Even a tea cake was hard to come by. These tea leaves that Zhou Yuanfu talked about had never been heard of, let alone drank. They both swallowed.
Zhou Yuanfu smelled the tea bowl again.
"How long have you kept this tea? It's not aged Pu'er. The longer it is kept, the weaker the taste will be. Oh, what a waste of natural resources."
Tian Feng swallowed again, looked at Zhou Yuanfu and said, "You are talking nonsense. Seeing that you are also from a poor family, I am afraid this is your first time drinking this tea soup. It will be difficult for you to say these weird names."
Zhou Yuanfu still wanted to argue, but the old abbot shook his hand and said, "Yuan Hao, please don't look down on this kid. I have already said that people should not be judged by their appearance. I know what happened before him, and I know what happened after him. Yuan Hao should know what happened in this life."
Tian Feng also waved his hand.
"I'm not like you two, talking about the past and the past. I don't know what happened to him in this life. Monks don't tell lies. You old monk, don't talk nonsense. After drinking tea, let's break up.
.”
The old monk laughed and stopped talking.
Zhou Yuanfu remembered that he was here to recruit Tian Feng, and he had offended people without knowing it. He was quite embarrassed when he thought about it. Tian Feng had an upright character, and I was afraid that he could not be persuaded by ordinary words. He had no idea for a while, and thought about it.
Why don't you bring Cui Niupi here? This guy is used to pretending to be stupid and has a knack for recruiting talents.
No one spoke, and the scene quickly cooled down.
Tian Feng took the initiative to ask, "Young man, you've finished your work, why don't you leave quickly and wait for the imperial army to come and see you off?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in the words.
Zhou Yuanfu smiled awkwardly. He couldn't think of a good way to say it, so he stopped beating around the bush.
"Young man is incompetent, so I came here to ask Uncle Tian for help."
Tian Feng sneered, "Your master can't recruit me, so why do you recruit me?"
"I heard that Uncle Tian was an official in his early years. Later, he resigned out of anger because he couldn't stand the eunuchs' monopoly power and the corruption of the government. From this point of view, Uncle Tian hates evil and has the same love for the people as Master. I don't rely on anything, just
With the remains of the master in the dry well under the tower, with the 50,000 yellow scarf troops outside Guangzong City who preferred to die rather than surrender, with the tens of millions of people who died because of corrupt officials, and with the hundreds of millions of living beings still struggling in suffering, please
Uncle Tian, give me a helping hand!"
After saying this, Zhou Yuanfu kowtowed and could not stand.
The old monk sighed. Tian Feng was speechless for a moment. If Zhou Yuanfu promised him a high official position and generous salary, he would naturally choke him with words, but Zhou Yuanfu brought out all the people in the world, which was beyond his expectation. He couldn't help but look at it again.
This honest and dark boy.
Zhou Yuanfu knelt for a while and found no movement. He had an idea and remembered Liu Bei's words asking Zhuge Liang to come out.
"If my uncle doesn't come out, how can he be like the common people?"
I thought in my heart that if you don't agree this time, I won't be able to say anything, and everyone will really break up.
For a long time, Tian Feng didn't speak, Zhou Yuanfu didn't get up, and everyone was in a stalemate.
The old monk was drinking tea leisurely beside him, staying aloof and unfathomable.
In the end Tian Feng couldn't stand it any longer, "If you want me to agree, you must promise me three things."
