My 1991

The next day.

After 11 o'clock in the morning, Lu An arrived at the teacher's house carrying large and small bags.

As expected, the house was packed with people, and the living room couldn't even fit in. Outside the house, there were many people stuck in twos and threes like fence posts in the yard.

After a rough scan, there were at least 15 in the yard outside.

Mr. Guan is very busy and has all kinds of friends, relatives and apprentices. Even if he likes Lu An, he doesn't have much time to receive him alone.

Guan Yi was even busier, serving tea and water, and she was the one doing the greetings.

But even so, the two of them still did not allow Lu An to leave today.

The argument was: Shao City or Jinling were both far away from Yangcheng, and it was rare for him to come here once. Moreover, the teacher was getting older and his health was getting worse day by day, so he was asked to stay one more day.

Seeing that the senior sister spoke so sincerely, he said nothing, it was hard to say anything more, and he gave up the idea of ​​leaving.

After dinner, Mr. Guan and Guan Yi were both empty.

Lu An was first called into the study by Mr. Guan, and the two of them chatted for almost half an hour behind closed doors.

Don't think it's only half an hour. It's already a long time compared to others. Guan, an old friend, has many disciples and limited energy. Little did they know that Xu, the Golden Retriever Lion King, only chatted with the teacher for about ten minutes.

When he came out of the study, Guan Yi caught him and said, "Follow me."

Luan followed her to a bedroom.

He looked inside at the door and then stood there motionless.

I thought to myself: Senior sister, senior sister, I know I have a good face, but I can’t take her to the bedroom. The teacher is very good to me, and I really can’t do such a thing.

Seeing his rich expression, Guan Yi immediately guessed something and said angrily: "What are you thinking about? Do you like an old lady like me?"

Luan blinked and remained silent.

Guan Yi lost his temper and said, "If you like me, come on. I'll let you experience what it's like to be an old aunt."

Luan took a step back silently.

Guan Yi laughed at him for being as timid as a mouse, then pointed to the chair at the door, "Come in and sit down, let me tell you something."

Luan walked in and closed the door.

Seeing this, Guan Yi asked strangely, "Do you want me to take off my clothes? Or do you do it yourself?"

Lu An pretended not to hear, and sat down on the chair, looking straight ahead with eyes and nose, nose and heart, exactly like a Bodhisattva.

Guan Yi looked around the bedroom, "What do you think of the decoration in the house?"

Lu An looked around and found that it was all pink and full of dreamy atmosphere, "Senior Sister's daughter's?"

Guan Yi nodded, "It's not that damn girl's."

After saying that, she took a vase, poured a key out of it, then opened the desk drawer with the key, bent down to search for it, and finally found a photo album in her hand.

After flipping through a few pages, I found a photo I was satisfied with and handed it to him, "Look, this is a photo Shiqin sent me last year. It was taken in France, with the Eiffel Tower behind it."

Lu An took the photo album with dignity and began to observe it carefully.

After waiting for a long time and not waiting for his evaluation, Guan Yi couldn't help but ask: "How is it? She looks good, just like her dad. She has been eye-catching since she was a child."

Lu An praised, "It's not bad."

Guan Yi was dissatisfied, pointed at the photo, and turned on the mode of blowing his beard and staring: "It looks like this, is it just okay in your eyes?"

It really can only be considered "okay".

Can't compare to Sister Qingchi, Qingshui and Yu Wanzhi.

Can't compare to the three beauties of Nanjing University.

Not as good as Liu Hui.

However, seeing that the senior sister might break out at any time, Lu An wisely increased the intensity of his praise:

"Don't be dissatisfied. The "okay" I say is already a high praise.

Don’t you even think about what I look like?

It is said that birds of a feather flock together, and since I am so good-looking, the women gathered around me are naturally a handful of outstanding ones. Without seeing them in person, "okay" is my unified evaluation of all beautiful women. "

She would not be angry even if Lu An teased her, but if he said that her daughter was not good, Guan Yi would be furious and give him a one-minute death stare.

Then she said: "This is the third year, this damn girl hasn't been home for three years.

I went to Germany years ago, and she hid directly in the UK. I found some connections and chased her to the UK, but she went to Spain again. I was almost pissed off by her.

I know you have a way to deal with women. No matter what happens this time, you have to help me find a way. "

Luan said nothing.

Guan Yi gritted her teeth and said cruelly, "No matter how resorting to tricks, I won't blame you even if you sleep with her."

Lu An's face twitched, and he was very angry.

Caring crossed her arms and walked around the room, looking very irritable: "I'm telling you the truth, if she doesn't return to China like this, she will definitely give foreigners an advantage in the future, so it's better to give you an advantage.

No matter what, you should help me deceive her into returning to China first. At least this daughter will still be there when I return to China. If she really marries abroad, I will not have any children. "

Lu An raised his head: "Nowadays, it is popular among domestic elites to go abroad. Senior sister, why do you still do the opposite?"

"I bother!"

It was rare to see Guan Yi's ungentleman side, and I saw her swearing, and then said in an extremely depressed manner: "I believed in this way at the beginning, so I gave Shiqin away, and now I regret it in my gut.

If you haven’t gone abroad to see the outside world, you don’t know the outside world. These so-called elites are very prosperous at home, but when they go abroad, no one even wants to serve them, that’s miserable.

I don't even understand what this is for? Are you all stunned? Are you all obsessed? "

As she spoke, she paused and then spoke in a slower tone, "I once had a very good friend in Beijing who was also a painter. He was already well-known in China and had a very good life. But when he arrived in New York , he realized that he was useless, and after living in the basement for half a year, he committed suicide. I really can’t understand.”

Luan was speechless.

This is a common phenomenon. After they live well in China, only a small number of people can still live happily.

Most of them have been reduced to the bottom and become social garbage. But these people, for the sake of face, will brag to their friends in China about how well they are doing and how sweet the air outside is. It can be regarded as a kind of revenge. Every pit counts.

Lu An asked: "Why doesn't Shiqin go home?"

Thinking of the past, Guan Yi's expression changed three times in a row, and he hesitated to speak.

Lu An was a master at observing words and expressions. When he saw that the other party had something to hide, he immediately stopped asking further questions and stood up and said:

"Senior sister, I have plans to travel abroad. If I meet Shiqin in Germany in the future, I will try my best to talk to her."

His words were ambiguous, and he didn't dare to say anything to death, let alone be stupid enough to guarantee it.

Humans, if you make a promise but fail to do it, then people will blame you in the end; and if you answer uncertainly from the beginning, but later do your best, no matter the result is good or bad, people will only be grateful.

I stayed at the teacher's house for two days in a row. Fortunately, I had Xu. The Golden Retriever Lion King accompanying me to brag and spank, so I didn't feel bored.

In the middle, Mr. Guan drew a picture of winter plum blossoms for him, which means "the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold" and wished him a better future.

To be honest, he didn't know why the teacher suddenly gave him this painting?

A feeling of sadness suddenly arose in my heart, as if the old man was explaining something.

But then he thought that this person had survived into the new century, and his mood became much better.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the weather in Yangcheng cleared up. The soft sunlight shone on me, making me feel warm and comfortable.

Lu An got up early and ate a Cantonese rice roll first.

Thinking of Sister Qingchi's love for seafood in his previous life, he even went to the seafood market and bought some abalone, sea cucumbers, and some prawns. I was afraid that these things would die prematurely, so I bought a small oxygen pump with a wave of my hand, the kind that uses batteries.

The oxygen pump only weighs 3 kilograms. The merchant said that the equivalent supply is 3 liters per minute and the concentration is more than 90%. He doesn’t know the actual effect and has never bought one, but in order to please Sister Qingchi, he doesn’t care about the money at all. .

While paying, he suddenly thought of the poem "When a concubine rides in the world of mortals and laughs, no one knows it's the lychee coming". I can't help but sigh, it's better to have money in my pocket, otherwise it feels corrupt just thinking about wasting money like this just for a meal.

Putting the seafood in the trunk, Lu An was very unfazed by the fishing rods, fish guards and folding chairs that came into view. These two things were left behind when he accompanied Uncle Meng to go fishing in the reservoir in the suburbs of the county a few years ago. It's been a long time, and I have some space.

For a moment, he had the idea of ​​throwing it away, but in the end he didn't do it. No matter how small the mosquito was, it was still meat. It was all bought with money. If you don't cherish the small things, no matter how big the family is, it will collapse. At this moment, Lu An warned himself like this.

After filling up the tank, we set off from Yangcheng and arrived at Nanyue Ancient Town in the evening.

At this time, Nanyue Ancient Town had just experienced a blizzard at the beginning of the year. It was not as colorful as later generations. The streets were old and many houses and hotels were mainly wooden houses. At a glance, the whole world was filled with gray and white.

But there were a lot of people, and the huge streets and alleys were crowded with people.

There was the smell of burning incense and singing everywhere. Many devout believers in worship clothes formed teams. Under the leadership of the leader, they marched towards the temple while singing.

This kind of team is a spectacle. It is rare to see it in other places, but it can be seen in the streets and alleys of Nanyue.

Arriving at an intersection, Lu An got out of the car and made a phone call.

"Dong dong."

I had good luck this time, and the bell rang twice.

"Luan?" A soft voice came from the other side.

"Well, Sister Yu, it's me."

Luan responded and then asked, "We are here, which direction are you in?"

Yu Guanzhi reported the address of the hotel, and then said: "Tang Xi saw your Audi car by the window. Just stay where you are and she will come to pick you up."

Unexpectedly, it went so smoothly. Lu An was a little happy, and then expressed his dissatisfaction jokingly: "I came all the way from Yangcheng to see you, and you won't come to pick me up?"

Yu Wanzhi smoothed his hair with his right hand and said, "Little man, Nanyue is the holy land of Taoism and Buddha's feet. It is a solemn place. We are here to worship. You are not allowed to tease me."

"."

Lu An was speechless. After all, he was a reborn person, and he was absolutely full of respect for Nanyue, which was full of gods and Buddhas.

Well, even if he doesn't live a new life and comes to a place like this where paper candles are fragrant, he won't make any mistakes at will.

Seeing that he was speechless for a rare time, Yu Guanzhi was in high spirits. After hanging up the phone, he tidied himself up carefully before walking downstairs gracefully.

Tang Xi and Liu Xiaoli, who were standing next to them, saw all this scene. The two women looked at each other for a while, and they were both very sad: as beautiful as Miss Yu, as noble as Miss Yu, as elegant as Miss Yu, and as high-minded as Miss Yu, finally she was the one. Being surrendered.

The person who surrendered was a man 9 years younger and a playboy.

Neither Tang Xi nor Liu Xiaoli understood, nor could they understand, what kind of man could Miss Yu, who is the ceiling of women, want?

Why do you fall in love with such a person who is not devoted to feelings?

Although Lu An was regarded as the best among them, they still felt that Miss Yu had "married down". The reason was very simple. Putting aside their personal feelings, their family backgrounds were too different.

They are no longer little girls. They have experienced the vicissitudes of life, and have long had a deep understanding of the right match. They sneer at the bullshit chicken soup for the soul that "for the sake of love, you can throw away the world."

But when I think about it, Miss Yu and Lu An are both unattainable to them. It's just that they have followed Miss Yu for so many years and witnessed Miss Yu's love journey. They have a deep friendship with each other and are worried that she will not receive the recognition and blessing of her family.

If Mr. Lu were single, the resistance might not be so great.

But Mr. Lu was not only not single, but also a little green among the flowers, which made them all very sad.

Yu Guanzhi didn't know what Tang Xi and Liu Xiaoli were thinking, but she had already gracefully arrived in front of Lu An.

Looking at each other, both of them had a hint of joy in their eyes.

Lu An asked: "Didn't you say you wouldn't come to pick me up?"

"It's boring."

Yu Guanzhi said this perfunctorily, took a few steps closer, and teased in a voice that only two people could hear: "How about you bite me?"

Lu An opened his eyes to the ceiling and said expressionlessly: "Female donor, this is under the nose of Holy Emperor Nanyue Si Tianzhao, please respect yourself."

Yu Guanzhi smiled warmly, walked forward, and asked after about ten steps, "It's time for dinner, are you hungry?"

Not mentioning that this was okay, Lu An felt his stomach pounding when he mentioned it, and immediately said: "I didn't eat anything on the way, I'm starving."

Yu Guanzhi said: "Then let's eat first and then go back to the room later."

In Nanyue Ancient Town in the 1990s, all hostels basically provided food and accommodation in one place. Vegetarian food was provided on the first floor, and accommodation was generally provided on the second floor.

Since it was dinner time, the whole street was filled with worshipers, and every restaurant was full. Judging from Lu An's past life experience, when it comes to vegetarian food, the tastes in various restaurants are very similar, and even the dishes are almost the same. They come back to the same style.

So they didn't bother to choose, and they went directly back to "Yuemin Hotel", where Yu Guanzhi lived on the second floor.

Seeing the two of them sitting down, the shop owner came over with a menu and asked: "Are you two going to be vegetarian?"

Luan replied: "Eating fast."

No wonder the store asked this, because after a small number of worshipers enter the temple to worship, they often eat a big meal to reward their spleen and stomach and choose to eat meat.

Generally speaking, devout believers eat fast before coming and keep fasting after entering the temple. They do not break their fast and eat meat until they return to their hometown and perform a series of rituals.

As for those pilgrims who are tourists, they basically just go through the process and eat before entering the temple. They are not interested in being particular after leaving the temple.

Some people even just come to watch and have fun, so it doesn’t matter whether they fast or not.

Yu Guanzhi was tired of eating big fish and meat, and seemed to be very interested in the vegetarian food of Nanyue Mountain. He ordered three dishes in one go: vegetarian tofu, Nanyue Guanyin bamboo shoots and Nanyue wild goose mushrooms.

After ordering, she did not forget to say: "I had the goose mushroom once for lunch. It tasted good, but the portion was not much."

Luan said, "Not much? Then ask for two."

The boss was not surprised by this and marked x2 behind the goose fungus.

Lu An flipped through the menu and asked her, "It's cold, how about a vegetarian hot pot?"

Yu Guanzhi strongly agrees.

After placing the order, the food was served before the two of them exchanged a few words. This was surprisingly fast.

This reminded him of the bad word "prepared dish".

Of course, that didn't exist these days, but these dishes were easy to make, and the store had obviously prepared them for a long time. They were all semi-finished products, and they only had to be cooked briefly.

The tofu in the casserole is piping hot. I don’t know if it’s due to the environment or the delicious woman sitting next to it. It has a unique flavor in your mouth and a different kind of meal.

Yu Guanzhi had eaten wild goose mushrooms before, but she still liked it the second time. Lu An saw her taking three bites in a row, so he suggested: "If you like eating it, buy some dry ones."

Yu Guanzhi said: "I can't do it."

The woman who said she didn't know what to do, had light in her eyes and looked straight at him.

Lu An still didn't understand. He stared wide-eyed and said, "Should I make it? I'll make it for you to eat. You are responsible for eating it."

Yu Wanzhi smiled and said nothing.

Lu An gave full marks to the vegetarian tofu and goose mushrooms. He then reached for the Guanyin bamboo shoots with his chopsticks and stopped eating them after eating them. The color and taste were ordinary. City people may still like to eat them, but for people like him For rural people, they can eat soil every year for bamboo shoots.

For example, small bamboo shoots in April and May, winter bamboo shoots in the winter months, and spring bamboo shoots after the beginning of spring are eaten in various ways and used as food. They are everywhere in the mountains and plains, and they are free of charge.

Not talking about the hot pot later, Lu An blanched a few pieces of cabbage, and finally concentrated on the tofu and goose mushrooms.

Yu Guanzhi has similar preferences to him, and they don't touch hot pot very much, it's almost a decoration. The difference was that the Guanyin bamboo shoots won her heart so much that she ate half of the plate alone.

Lu An joked: "Why don't you find a rural person to marry? A rural person can cook these dishes."

"good."

Yu Guanzhi said yes, then looked up at him, his dark eyes slowly rotating, and asked meaningfully: "Little man, you should do the same, right?"

When their eyes met, Lu An felt numb for no reason, lowered his head in a hurry, and continued to eat and drink, neither saying he could nor saying he couldn't.

Anyway!

No matter what.

I don’t know if it’s because he’s in a solemn place like a temple, or because I expected him not to dare to cross the thunder pond, or if it’s because this taboo place makes people happy, but this girl was unusually bold today, before and after we met. In less than half an hour, I had already teased him twice.

After eating, the two went up to the second floor.

But as soon as the divination entered, Lu An was shocked, "Tongpu?"

Yu Guanzhi said: "All nearby hotels are like this. I found about 10 of them."

Lu An asked: "I saw a hotel on the way here."

Yu Guanzhi said: "There is no room."

Lu An found it incredible, "With your status as Miss Yu, you can't get a room?"

Yu Guanzhi smiled, "Maybe, but I don't want to do it."

Seeing him looking at her steadily, Yu Guanzhi's eyes swept across the room:

"Do as the Romans do. I asked the owner of the hotel. Almost all pilgrims stay in this kind of hotel and sleep on the same bed. I want to try it too. I think it is more interesting."

Lu An said, "It's interesting, but this is a common room. It's just the two of us in this room. There are differences between men and women."

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Guanzhi interrupted him, pointed to the two quilts and said, "You sleep on yours, and I sleep on mine."

Lu An glanced at the next door. Lu Qing and the three girls also slept in a bunk bed, and they were next to each other. It was actually a large room, but there was a screen in the middle.

On the other side of the screen are the three girls Lu Qing, Tang Xi and Liu Xiaoli.

On this side of the screen are Lu An and Yu Wanzhi.

This scene was familiar to him. When he was in junior high school, he and his two aunts came to Nanyue, and they also slept in the same bunk. At that time, a big family slept together, with the men sleeping at the door and the women sleeping on the other side, each sleeping under his own quilt.

There is actually no other way to do this. Everyone is not rich these days, and it is impossible for everyone to have a room like in future generations.

If everyone has a room in Nanyue, where every inch of land is precious, how much will it cost?

Don’t you see that many pilgrims come from far away places on foot? They can’t even bear the fare for a few days or even a week, so how can they be willing to spend a lot of money on accommodation?

This is also the reason why Tongpu came into being.

Of course, Chaoxiang basically only sleeps for two or three hours. It usually arrives at midnight, gets up at 5 o'clock in the morning to hold the ceremony, and then enters the temple.

Generally speaking, this is not sleeping, just a temporary place to stay.

Lu An put down her bag, "In this closed space, Sister Yu, you are so charming, how can you trust me so much? Are you not afraid of me?"

only

But before he finished speaking, he saw Yu Guanzhi already half-lying on the bed.

She stretched her hands back and stretched lazily. Her exquisite and graceful curves were looming under the loose clothes, which were charming and particularly tempting.

She seemed unaware of her own charm, her weak face was full of meaning, and she looked up at him with a half-smile.
