Chapter 140 The names of the Xiao family members seem to have water
After locking the door of the mountain hall, Xiao Xingyu carried the little aunt and grandma on his back, Zhang Moyan turned on the flashlight, and the three of them walked down the mountain.
In the quiet and vast night, there are clusters of green peaks and herons rising from the stars and rivers. The ancient mountain hall is like these undulating mountains, standing still under the eternal and unchanged world, waiting for the day of glory.
.
"Xingyu, thank you for coming to save me." The little aunt and grandma said softly, lying on the back of Xiao Xingyu's neck.
He had never seen such a well-behaved Xiao Maner. He deeply suspected that he was influenced by someone. He glanced at someone, and their eyes happened to meet. He jumped up to his wife and said unseriously:
"If it weren't for my damn chastity, I wouldn't care about you."
The little great-aunt didn't understand what integrity was, but felt that Xiao Xingyu's tone was reluctant, and for fear of offending him again, she lay on his shoulder and stopped talking.
Zhang Moyan was beside him, walked about ten steps, and suddenly said: "Thank you for your moral integrity."
The voice is neither high nor low, but it scratches people's hearts like cat's claws.
The atmosphere became a little subtle. The little aunt and grandma straightened her neck with a precocious gossip expression on her face.
Zhang Moyan coughed lightly, and while shining a flashlight on the steps at his feet, he changed the subject: "Teacher Xiao, how did you know we were here?"
"You told me yourself." Xiao Xingyu said so easily.
Zhang Moyan was confused: "I told you myself?"
"Yes," Xiao Xingyu glanced at the woman who couldn't touch Bei, "Did you tell me that you and Man'er watched a horror movie called 'Forbidden Land'?"
Zhang Moyan nodded: "Yes."
"I asked you where you are, are you saying you can't tell me this place?"
"Oh..."
"You even let slip that you changed the word 'hui' for going home into the word 'xia' for going down the mountain."
"..." It turns out that he noticed it, and he was really observant...
"And the most important thing."
"What?" Zhang Moyan stopped, and Xiao Xingyu also stopped.
"You're out of breath." He said
Zhang Moyan's ears felt like thunder exploded, and they were like wooden stakes. Xiao Xingyu bent down and approached her, lowering his voice in a bad way: "I didn't tell you what kind of asthma you have, why are you so nervous?"
Zhang Moyan's face flushed red, but the man moved closer.
"Although, almost!"
Zhang Moyan is about to faint. She really doesn't have the ability to remain calm like him.
In the darkness, the man laughed, pulled away, and walked down calmly: "Let me ask you, why are you so out of breath if you haven't been climbing the mountain?"
Zhang Moyan's expression (??;)
If you don't follow him, you will lose sight of the road ahead, so you have to pretend that he didn't say anything and catch up.
"Teacher Xiao, I noticed that the names of your Xiao family members all seem to have water in them! Mumu, Sasa, Man'er, Guotao, Weijiang, and the names of the ancestors on the monuments just now. Is there any meaning in them?
"Try to find some serious topics.
"This is a long story. To put it simply, water can overcome fire. Our Xiao family has heavenly fire to overcome." This section of the road was a bit steep, so Xiao Xingyu slowed down.
Zhang Moyan’s question mark face, Sky Fire? So fantasy?
"What kind of sky fire?" Light the way for him.
"They are competitors."
"Oh," he seemed to understand, "who are your competitors?...Can you tell me?"
Xiao Xingyu raised his head and glanced at her with disappointment: "You should be able to think of this. Isn't this the only one that can compete with the Xiao family in terms of azure glazed porcelain?"
Zhang Moyan looked ignorant.
Xiao Xingyu made a curious "hiss" sound: "Didn't you get to know me comprehensively for the exclusive interview? It seems that your understanding is not very complete! No wonder you can't get me."
Zhang Moyan was ashamed: "Teacher Xiao, don't say that, I will understand you better later."
"Oh," Xiao Xingyu, "I'll wait and see."
Zhang Moyan picked up the topic: "The name of the first ancestor on the monument just now was ambiguous, so... you and this family have been enemies for a long time?"
Xiao Xingyu kicked a small stone in front of Zhang Moyan with his foot, and replied indifferently: "It's only about nine hundred years!"
Zhang Moyan was shocked and choked: "More than nine hundred years! God...where is your opponent?"
"That's the Geng family in Hangzhou. By the way," Xiao Xingyu paused, "haven't you seen that Director Geng of Huarui Hospital? He belongs to the Geng family!"
The Xiao family’s old enemy...is Dean Geng’s family?
Zhang Moyan felt that some parts in her brain might have been pawned, otherwise why wouldn't she be able to figure things out?
"But aren't you and Dean Geng good friends?"
"Yes."
"But you just said... your two families have been enemies for more than nine hundred years."
"Yes."
"Then you..." Zhang Moyan asked in confusion, "Then you are still friends with Dean Geng?"
Now she understood why Ms. Meng said when Xiao Xingyu went to see Geng Jun that he was about to be soaked in a pig cage.
"Are you stupid?" Xiao Xingyu said in a matter-of-fact tone, "It's so difficult to see a doctor these days. Knowing a doctor is a very important thing!"
He said it so seriously that Zhang Moyan was about to turn to stone.
"You all have 'Shui' in your names. Isn't it because the Geng family has 'Fire' in their last name?"
"Smart, that's why."
Zhang Moyan felt that not only was she going to be petrified, but also going to split apart: "Really or not?! How could..."
Xiao Xingyu turned around and said clearly: "Is it so childish?"
Zhang Moyan didn't say anything. If she didn't say anything, it wouldn't be counted as her words.
Xiao Xingyu said: "Don't you think it's cute? Well, let me tell you, our ancestors of the Xiao family were born in bowl making. In the porcelain shop, this kind of background has a very low status, so you can't expect my ancestors to be
What higher education? Water can defeat fire. This is the simplest and most powerful way they can think of to defeat the enemy."
After he said this, Zhang Moyan also found it very interesting: "That's right, the ancestor of your family who established the ancestral precepts is very cute! And the descendants of your family who have followed it for generations are also very cute!"
Xiao Xingyu smiled at her: "What I say is what I say. You are so simple."
Zhang Moyan was stunned for a moment, why did this kind of praise seem like hurting someone?
"Teacher Xiao, just because the Geng family is a competitor, do you want to defeat them?" Zhang Moyan has never encountered such a legendary family lineage as the Xiao family, whether in work or life, and his mind is filled with ten questions.
There are thousands of reasons why, I can’t help but ask them again and again.
"How could it be! In nine hundred years, how could our Xiao family only have the Geng family as a competitor? Even a thousand years ago, there was a porcelain family named Chen who played with us, and we were not so malicious towards them.
”
"Does the Geng family have a deep grudge against you?"
Xiao Xingyu thought for a while and said: "It's a conflict between the government and the people!"
"Conflict between the government and the people?"
"Well, the ancestors of the Geng family were more prosperous than us. In the Northern Song Dynasty, they were kiln supervisors. You may not know this. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the porcelain for the imperial palace was made by the imperial court. The tasks were assigned to private kilns. The kiln supervisors
He was an official who supervised the production of porcelain for the court and collected commercial taxes on porcelain kilns for the court. That high-ranking official of the Geng family was of poor character. He deceived his superiors and deceived his subordinates. He abused his power for personal gain and was corrupt and perverted the law. Our ancestors of the Xiao family and all the oppressed people suffered deeply from this.
Not to mention the hardships, the man named Geng later built a private kiln to compete with the people for food. Therefore, the ancestors hated him so much that they decided that all their descendants should have water in their names. Water can overcome the pain.
The meaning of fire is to show that we are irreconcilable."
