[Rat cat] The legend of Lou Xiaochong

Lou Xiaochong woke up because the carriage braked suddenly, and his head hit the pine wood carriage board carved with the pictures of immortals enjoying themselves.

He was originally a head of wood and stone, so he bumped into it for a while, if you say that the pain is not too painful, it is quite dizzy.However, since two months ago, Lou Xiaochong inexplicably fell down the mountain road in the jurisdiction of Chizhou, and fell into the fence outside Xiangyang City that had just been broken by a shovel of soil, his head has been dizzy It's heavy, I can't tell what's wrong.Prince of Xiangyang——Lou Xiaochong got up that day and was dragged and chatted for a long time by Grandpa Gao who was watching from the sidelines, and took him to meet the prince and uncle.Speaking of which, Lou Xiaochong felt that according to ordinary people's calculations, he should be his re-created parents - this prince also asked many doctors to check his pulse, but he never saw that he was ugly.Fortunately, although he was dizzy, he didn't cough or wheeze, and there were no other disadvantages. Gradually, he regarded the fall as the root cause of his illness and ignored it.

Getting up from his seat, Lou Xiaochong subconsciously turned his head to look at that "Grandpa Gao", but the old man just closed his eyelids, leaning on the cushion to rest his mind.

"You man! You don't have eyes when you walk?" This is the big brother in black who drives the car. He always roars when he speaks, and sometimes he is accompanied by a whip, except for the old man in the car.Lou Xiaochong was a little startled when he heard it at first, but after running for more than a thousand miles, he got used to it.Grandpa Gao also said, is he a rough man, and he can't make things difficult for others like literati and scholars.

"Heh." A passer-by outside hummed, it was a cold, but very familiar voice.Lou Xiaochong bit his lip, wanting to quietly lift the curtain to take a look, but the curtain of the small window was already nailed shut - he looked at Grandpa Gao again.

The old man sighed: "Heizi, if you bump into someone, you will pay him a few coppers - don't even look at where this is? If you get into a fight in the street, you won't be ashamed!"

But the man driving the car didn't answer, and the car just stood there and didn't move forward.

Unable to wait for an answer, the old man was also puzzled, he glanced at Lou Xiao, leaned up, opened the car curtain a little, looked out twice, and looked serious when he came back.The old man closed his fan, "da, da, da", tapped his palm three times, tucked it into his belt, stretched out his left hand, and pulled Lou Xiaochong: "Listen to Grandpa Gao, don't make a sound. You come out quietly." Car, don’t worry about anything else, just go to the Shou Keju on the left side of the road, don’t pay attention to other people, just look for the shopkeeper, and tell him, ‘Sir asked me to come’, you have to make gestures with your hands like this—” As he spoke, he taught Lou Xiaochong gestured, "Do you remember?"

Lou Xiaochong nodded, he knew he was stupid, but he was the best at memory.Although I don't understand what it means, but this Grandpa Gao has been taking care of him for many days, and he is willing to accompany him to draw pictures and calculate tricks. Just put aside everything, and followed me tirelessly for such a long distance.What Grandpa Gao asked him to do would never hurt himself.

The old man clawed at the gap in the car curtain, watched Lou Xiaochong and climbed out of the car. Hey, this little guy just stared blankly at Heizi whose acupoints were tapped, then turned around obediently and ran into Shoukeju. The journey was safe and sound. .The old man himself stroked his beard, smacked his lips, and got out of the car quietly—it seemed that he was just a passing ranger, at most he had a bad temper.

He put on his robe and stepped into the threshold of Shou Keju, and he didn't have eyes in the back of his head. Of course, he didn't know that in the window on the second floor of the opposite teahouse, a young knight in white robes had just taken his seat. He casually called Hu Shuangjing, and immediately Looking out with his chin propped up, he happened to glance at the gate of Shou Ke's residence as if unintentionally.

Besides, the young man in white is naturally Fifth Lord Bai.He was waiting for the tea and only heard the sound of the stairs, but it was not a doctor of tea, but an old and a young, a pair of father and daughter performing arts.The father and daughter were obviously well-versed in their livelihood, and they broke up the scene with a smile on their face, and started singing a tune as soon as the Hu strings sounded.

That's right, the tunes from Xiangyang City have a different flavor compared to the ones heard in Kaifeng Mansion.Bai Wuye dismissed the nagging Dr. Cha with a piece of silver, and secretly pondered over his thoughts alone, without mentioning it.

Speaking of Kaifeng Mansion, the affairs of Kaifeng Mansion are of course busy.There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that the drumming of grievances at the gate of this government office has never stopped.Of course, this is just a rumor, even if it is an old cow plowing the fields, it must be allowed to lie down and chew while the sun is shining in the afternoon.Even if the people in Kaifeng Mansion are all made of iron, God is not so cruel to let them have a moment of leisure every day, and everyone wishes to have four legs.

For example, today, Guard Zhan routinely escorted Mr. Bao back from court, and suddenly found that he had nothing to rush.After such a sudden idleness, he felt a little uncomfortable. He went to his yard to perform half a set of sword moves, and no one practiced it. He always felt a little boring.When he went into the room to find a towel to wipe his face, the corner of his eye involuntarily glanced at the small wine jar in the middle of the table.Heh, it's already empty tomorrow, but I can't remember to use it for Auntie Zhang in the kitchen to pickle vegetables.Thinking of this, he wiped off his sweat one after another. Zhan Zhao suddenly wanted to take a vacation and go back to his hometown to have a look. Dustpan soil, say a few words of your own, no one can say it's wrong.Although even he himself didn't know how this idea came out of nowhere.

Now that he thought about it, Zhan Zhao tried to ask Mr. Bao for leave.

"Back to Changzhou?" Mr. Bao didn't mean to object, but felt a little sudden, so he couldn't help but be concerned, "Guard Zhan—but something happened at home?"

In fact, it's really nothing.Zhan Zhao was a little embarrassed: "It's nothing, it's just..."

Zhan Zhaozheng secretly scolded himself that this false accusation was a bit absurd, and was about to say that he was going to patrol the streets and ask Mr. Bao to pretend that he didn't hear what he said just now, but he heard Mr. Bao chuckled, "It's my government's negligence. The Zhan guard came to Kaifeng The mansion has been around for more than half a year, and it is really exhausting to be cautious everywhere in this officialdom. While there are no new major cases at the moment, you can go back to your hometown to find out the old ones—remember to talk to Mr. Gongsun."

Since Mr. Bao has said so, well, at most, he can wait until he comes back from leave and work harder.Zhan Zhao thanked Mr. Bao, and went to find Mr. Gongsun.

It turns out that there is an unwritten rule in this Kaifeng mansion, whenever someone goes on a long trip, even if they don't go to say hello to Mr. Bao, it is best to inform Mr. Gongsun.The chief bookkeeper, Gongsun Ce, was knowledgeable and wise. It was rumored that he was able to know astronomy and geography with the help of gods and ghosts, but the people in the mansion knew that it was all nonsense.The reason why Mr. Gongsun can do this is because he is diligent in learning and earning, it is the accumulation of thousands of volumes of books, the paving of thousands of miles of roads, and his solid efforts.Now, Mr. Gongsun puts aside the Yangguan way of the imperial examination and is willing to bow down to be a master book in the government office of Kaifeng. There is no way to collect miscellaneous knowledge from all over the world, but he is thinking about the way of learning, and he is afraid that if he does not advance for a day, he will retreat.Therefore, once the people in the mansion go out, they always come to him to report, or buy books along the way, or look for medicinal herbs, even if they remember the price of rice and grain in the market. Thinking that they are doing things for Mr. Gongsun, everyone No matter how hard it is, three points are willing.

Stepping into the threshold of the pharmacy, before Zhan Zhao could open his mouth, Master Gongsun spoke first: "Guard Zhan, you came just in time——I saw the prescription last time, and you happened to go to Zhongmou County, so you forgot, so I turned over the medicine bowl this morning. Just remembered!"

Zhan Zhao quickly swallowed what was on his lips - if Mr. Gongsun finds anything here, he will continue to investigate the case, so how can he go back to his hometown to relax.But when asked about the result, Mr. Gongsun sighed: "This prescription is too common. It uses some of the most common antidote herbs, and even the dosage is quite satisfactory. There is nothing special about it. You have consulted many doctors for your poison. There is no way to solve it, but I taught such a formula to solve it..." He shook his head, "I'm sorry the students can't believe it."

So, this prescription turned out to be a fake?Zhan Zhao recalled that he had carefully inquired about the details of the proprietress of the tavern, as if she was well-known in the world in the early years, and had always had a reputation of donating money, not to mention that Bai Yutang specifically asked him to taste the wine of that house, so she should be reliable; The person who said the prescription was her old friend, so... Zhan Zhao discussed with Mr. Gongsun, but he couldn't figure it out. Why don't we go to Jiangning to investigate.

While Mr. Gongsun was burying his head in gathering his medicine bowl, Zhan Zhao glanced out of the window, and it happened that a leaf was swirling and flying down, and the autumn wind was blowing up again.Sure enough, there is no peace and stability in this world. If you don't pay attention for a moment, the wind of the sky will change.

Changzhou was changed to Jiangning. Although it is still in the southeast, it is still three hundred miles away.And now that Zhan Zhao has a case in mind, his desire to return to his hometown naturally fades away.But before going out, he couldn't help telling Mr. Gongsun: "It will take some time for Zhan to turn around. If Chinchilla Bai Yutang comes to the mansion again, Mr. Lao will take care of him."

"Afraid that he will steal your wine?" Mr. Gongsun saw Zhan Zhao's serious face and couldn't help but make fun of him.

Zhan Zhao didn't have the habit of storing wine. He knew that Mr. Gongsun was joking, but he still explained uneasy: "The temperament of the White Five Heroes is competitive. After all, the elder brother is a well-known player in the Jianghu, and Zhan is afraid that he will be too playful and cause some troubles, which will not end well."

"Oh, if you want to talk about this, I'm afraid Zhan Huwei is too worried." Mr. Gongsun laughed, "That young man Bai, although he is young and arrogant, is quite reasonable, and he is not blindly fooling around. What's more, we In the mansion, apart from your Zhan guards, tsk tsk, I am afraid there is no one worthy of him jumping out of the yard and drawing his sword out of its sheath."

The author has something to say:

Sorry for posting so late!

=============

After thinking and thinking, Lou Xiaochong's view of good and evil should be different from that of human beings. In his opinion, Bai Yutang is so handsome, so it is a pity to die. Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang match so well, so they should be together. .But he may not think that there is anything wrong with King Xiangyang's rebellion. . [Okay, this question is still being analyzed by Miao, maybe the idea that will be formally written later will change again ==
