As a eunuch, I don't want to live forever

Chapter 203 Instructions of Three More and Three Less
The world of mortals is the road of life.

As for life, the days of ordinary people are more interesting.

The moment I opened my eyes in the morning, I was running around for my livelihood.

Or traffickers.

Or the waiter in the teahouse.

Or pick up a hoe and become a farmer.

If you still have a little skill in your hands, it's not bad to be a chef or something.

Chen Luo also thought so.

Just get out of the house.

Looked up.

Watching the sun shine brightly.

In the end, Chen Luo flinched back...

It's not that he's lazy, it's just that the money in his storage bag can't be spent for hundreds of years, even if it's all spent, wouldn't there still be Fellow Daoist Bailong?She also has a lot of bling and vulgar things in her storage bag.

Chen Luo has always hated soft food.

But if there is soft food to eat, he can't help but accept it.

And the lives of these ordinary people are not necessarily bitter.

man...

Poverty is a way of life,

Wealth is also a way of life.

There's nothing wrong with taking it easy.

Coupled with the fact that the weather has been really hot recently, Chen Luo was afraid of heatstroke, so naturally it was difficult for her to go out.

Fortunately, I have developed a good habit of planting trees in the past.

Over the years.

The nutrition is sufficient, not to mention the number of trees in the courtyard, it is even more luxuriant.

Lying in the courtyard not only does not feel hot, but rather cool.

The cicadas chirped incessantly on the tree.

Finally brought a summer vibe.

On the trunk of the tree, the white dragon spit out the letter lying there.

Under the tree, Xiao Hei was lying on his stomach, and occasionally raised his head to look at Chen Luo, who was lying on the chair and fanned gently with a fan.

He wagged his tail.

Finally got down and fell asleep again.

"It's been 28 years since the establishment!"

Chen Luo sighed.

Half a year has passed since Lu Xuan left in the past.

He didn't go anywhere.

It's all in this capital.

Gradually, I got used to the rhythm of Kyoto.

"The grasshoppers chirped, the earthworms came out, and Wang Guasheng... After all, it's the day of the beginning of summer. No wonder, this man is getting lazy!"

Chen Luo thought.

Facing Bailong on the tree, he said: "Friend Bailong, do you want to go to Fuyun Restaurant to listen to books?"

Fellow Daoist Bailong on the tree raised his head.

With a thud.

But it turned into a fifteen-six-seven-seven-year-old girl,

"Can!"

That little black also stood up straight away.

It kept turning around Chen Luo and Bailong, sticking out its tongue for a while, wagging its tail for a while, and even raised its front feet for a while.

Apparently it was also interested in hearing about Fortune Restaurant.

Chen Luo smiled.

These two guys really like it there.

In the past six months, she had nothing to do, and Chen Luo often went to Fuyun Restaurant to listen to books.

There are knight-errants.

There are also strange people and strange things.

More mountain anecdotes,

Those storytellers can tell more stories than themselves,

Naturally, whether Xiao Hei or fellow Daoist Bai Long, they all like to listen to their stories.

"Then let's go!"

Chen Luo also got up from the chair.

Two people and one dog.

We wandered off to the Fortune Restaurant.

Seeing Chen Luo approaching from a distance, Xiao Er went up to meet her.

"Master Chen, are you here? Or the old position, the old rules?"

Lord Chen from the west of the city...

I don't know the name.

But he is also a distinguished guest of Fuyun Restaurant.

Be generous.

Like to drink.

It's also a good book.

Every time you leave, you can give a very generous tip.

Naturally, this mistress is also the owner of the shopkeeper, and even many guests in Fuyun Restaurant know about this Mr. Chen.

"Well, the old position."

Chen Luo replied.

Xiaoer asked again: "Miss Bai is also the same?"

"kindness."

"Wang!"

Xiao Hei barked.

Xiao Er suddenly laughed: "I understand, Master Hei is also the same."

Whenever this happens, Xiao Hei becomes somewhat satisfied.

After half a year, Xiao Hei has grown a lot.

It's exactly the physique of an adult black dog...

Strange to say.

Maybe it was because of following Chen Luo, and because Xiao Hei's physique didn't seem to stop growing.

These days, Chen Luo felt that it seemed to be getting bigger.

of course.

It's just a perception, and I can't guarantee the specifics.

But when it was weighed, it did gain three or four catties... Now Xiao Hei weighs more than 30 catties.

Fortunately.

Not an exaggeration.

But Chen Luo still felt that it was better not to be too heavy.

Xiaobai wrote again two days ago.

It lost weight again...

Successfully lost weight from two hundred catties to 220 five catties.

Gained 25 catties in half a year.

This weight loss is really successful.

Go upstairs.

Xiao Er led Chen Luo and the others to sit by the window, and when they came up, someone greeted Chen Luo and the others.

"Master Chen is here to listen to the book again?"

"Miss Bai is here too!"

"Ha, Miss Bai has become more and more beautiful recently."

"Wang Wang!"

"Almost forgot Hei Ye, Hei Ye is getting stronger and stronger."

Chen Luo also greeted everyone with a smile.

Soon.

A jug of wine.

A plate of beef, a plate of peanuts.

A plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

Another ox bone came up.

The first two are Chen Luo's habits, and the sweet-scented osmanthus cake is Bai Long's favorite.

As for the bones...

Xiao Hei has already gnawed it with great joy.

Seeing this scene, Chen Luo nodded happily.

Everyone gets something, which is really great.

The wine is daughter red.

Old Fenjiu is still a liquor that many people in Kyoto like to drink, and its sales volume is also the largest.

But Nurhong is now one of the Four Wonders in Kyoto.

As for the origin of this girl's red, there is not much to say clearly.

Some people said that it was prepared by the emperor for the princess, so she named it Nvnuhong.

Some people also say that the old folks have hidden the wine for decades, and wait until the day of their daughter's marriage to drink it out. Because the daughter is dressed in red on the day of marriage, there is a saying that the daughter is red.

Of course there are other ways of saying it.

No one knows which is true.

There is one, but it is approved by many people.

It is said that when the daughter red was first brewed, the beautiful cardamom girl was selected and brewed bit by bit.

The raw material for making wine was fermented by the cardamom girl bit by bit with her red lips.

That is why the wine is full of fragrance.

Not only the fragrance of wine, but also the body fragrance of cardamom girl.

This wine was originally called Women's Wine, but later I felt that the name was not good, so I called it Nurhong.

Therefore, it has been called this name for hundreds of years.

When Chen Luo heard these explanations, she fell silent for a while.

If he remembers correctly.

This daughter Hong's name seems to be chosen by herself?
And if you take it yourself, it seems that you don't think so much?

I just heard that Emperor Jianwu gave birth to a daughter...,

So I thought, took this name, right?

Now even the cardamom girl is involved?
Still brewing wine in your mouth?
This is wine?
Are you sure it's not saliva?
I wanted to say something, but in the end I didn't say anything...

Everything has to have a good story to be interesting.

Daughter Hong is so.

So is tea.

The stories told in today's inn are somewhat new.

It's about a monkey and seven fairies...

Bai Long heard it with some pleasure.

Chen Luo also had some taste in hearing it.

Another story about myself...

But wasn't Xiao Xiangning the only one who knew this story in the past?

How can this old storyteller know?
After I finish talking, I'm going to ask...

After half an hour.

After the storyteller finished speaking, Chen Luo called him over, and after a little questioning, he felt that things in this world were changing a lot.

The old man's surname is Lin...

In the past, the Taizu was once a pen of the Hanlin Academy of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Once summoned by the Holy Queen, record a story.

The name of the story is: Journey to the West.

The story of the monkey and the seven fairies comes from Journey to the West,

Later, the family fell into disarray.

This descendant has become a storyteller...

Chen Luo nodded, not saying anything.

No more than three generations of poor, no more than three generations of rich...

Nothing in this world seems to escape this definition.

only……

Xiao Xiangning...

The long-lost memories and faces came to mind, causing Chen Luo's heart to fluctuate differently.

That little girl who was rescued by himself from the lakeside of the Imperial Garden.

That little boy who tortured himself every day.

Later, the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus.

Hearing his tracks, thousands of miles away, he abandoned the posture of the holy queen and ran to the woman in Handan.

that one……

A woman who drags her old body and wants to finish the story of the stone by herself.

"It's been a long time, it's been 200 years... the old man has already become a dead bone, but I am still...

This Kyoto is still the former Kyoto, but only your shadow is missing. "

Chen Luo sighed inwardly.

no more talking...

Perhaps she was reincarnated.

Perhaps she has long since passed away.

But it's useless to say goodbye.

After all, it is no longer the same.

"Are you in a bad mood?"

Bai Long asked Chen Luo.

Although Chen Luo didn't show it on her face, she could still feel it.

"Some emotion."

"What are you feeling?"

"It's hard to find an old friend when the white horse passes by, and in the end, gradually, there is only yourself."

Bailong stopped in his tracks.

look up.

Looked at Chen Luo.

"what happened?"

Bailong said: "I will be with you, I have a long life span!"

Chen Luo was slightly taken aback.

Then laughed.

Stretched out his hand and rubbed Bai Long's head: "Hearing what Fellow Daoist Bai Long said, our family's mood has improved a lot."

"Wang Wang!"

"Okay, Xiao Hei is also with me."

Xiao Hei wagged his tail.

Walking swaggeringly in front of the two of them, he suddenly saw a mouse running past and chased after it.

"Why does it catch mice?"

"do not know."

"Isn't this something a cat would catch? It's a dog..."

Chen Luo thought for a moment, then replied, "That's a little meddling."

"Yes!"

Soon.

Blackie is back.

With a mouse in his mouth.

Put it in front of Chen Luo.

Tongue out.

squatting looking at him,

The tail wagged a little joyously.

"I can't eat rats."

Chen Luo said.

Xiao Hei looked at Bai Long again.

Bai Long was a little disgusted: "I don't even want to eat it!"

So Xiao Hei was happy.

Gulu ate the mouse in one gulp.

"Chen Luo..."

"kindness?"

"I heard that one of your disciples is a cat demon?"

"Cat Mistress, an elegant banshee, and the most elegant cat I've ever seen."

"Then she'll love it."

"Indeed!"

Just in time, a ray of light passed by and came towards Chen Luo.

Chen Luo squeezed it.

That is a message.

"Whose Thousand Miles Voice Transmission?"

"Cat Mistress."

"Oh, what a coincidence!"

"It's a coincidence."

As soon as she was mentioned, her voice transmission arrived...

Fortunately, I didn't speak ill of him behind his back. If I did, I would be embarrassed.

It's just that when Chen Luo knew the information in the sound transmission, Chen Luo sighed.

"problem occurs?"

"Yes, it doesn't count."

Bai Long was puzzled.

"Someone went to Yushan Academy and said they wanted to take someone away, but the academy didn't know what to choose, so they consulted our family."

Bai Long snorted.

If that's the case, it's really not a big problem.

"Then how do you answer?"

Chen Luo smiled,

"Our family's answer is not important, what matters is how she chooses."

Chen Luo said.

Reach out.

On the sky, pinch a ray of sunlight between your fingers, and then flick it lightly, the glow will break through the void and flee towards the sky.

After doing all this, the two continued towards home.

……

Yushan Academy.

Someone from Daqin came to see Ning Shuan, the dean of Yushan Academy.

The person who came was the Duke of the Great Qin Dynasty, and the important minister of the two dynasties: Chu Tunan.

This time, I came here only for one thing: to bring Ning Taiping back to Daqin, to be the princess of the Daqin royal family...

Academy lobby.

Chu Tunan and Ning Shu sat peacefully.

"In the past, my son Yingzheng was the proton of the Great Zhou, and thanks to the help of Princess Yongle of the Great Zhou, he successfully returned to the Great Qin.

That Princess Taiping is my Princess Daqin. Now that the princess has reached the age of twenty, it is time to go back. "

Chu Tunan said to Ning Shuan.

Ning Shu'an didn't answer.

Just silent.

After a long time, he said: "She and the academy are students of the academy, and even more so than old disciples. She is not Princess Daqin, nor Princess Dazhou!"

"She is indeed Master's disciple, but her surname is still Ying after all!"

"More than ten years ago, my teacher said that there is no Xiao Taiping here, only Ning Taiping!"

"It is reasonable not to dispute what the father-in-law said."

Chu Tunan said: "But at that time, Princess Taiping was only a three or four-year-old girl, she didn't understand what it meant... Now she is twenty... She should have the right to choose!"

Ning Shu'an didn't answer.

Also at this time, a woman walked outside the door.

Women are elegant.

A blue dress.

holding a book in hand.

"Brother."

She said to Ning Shuan.

A ray of light appeared, escaping into Ning Shuan's eyebrows,

"Is this the master's reply?"

"Master, everything is up to her to decide, whether he, Yushan Academy, or you, there is no room for her to choose."

Ning Shuan nodded. ,

Not long after, Ning Taiping came.

Now she is over [-] years old and has grown into a mature woman.

His face vaguely bears the face of Xiao Xiangning from the past.

"I have seen Master, Uncle Master..."

She bowed to Ning Shu'an and Cat Lady.

Cat Empress nodded.

Ning Shu'an pointed at Chu Tunan: "That's Daqin Chu Tunan, I guess you know what's going on?"

Ning Taiping did know.

Her identity is not a secret in Yushan Academy, everyone knows it.

Chu Tunan was an important official in the Second Dynasty of the Great Qin Dynasty.

The purpose of coming here this time is to take her back to Daqin, why didn't he know about this matter?
"Your teacher said that this matter is related to your future and choice... Whether Yushan Academy or anyone else, there is no room for you to choose."

"How...how do you choose?"

Chu Tunan had already knelt down on one knee,

"Minister Chu Tunan, please return the princess to Daqin so that father and daughter can be reunited and recognize their ancestors!"

Ning Taiping stood where he was.

She fell silent.

He looked at his master for a while.

Looking at Chu Tunan kneeling on the ground for a while...

She pursed her lips, struggling a little.

Seeing this scene, Cat Empress sighed slightly, took out the book, and read it.

Ning Shuan also sighed slightly.

"In the past, all the courts and officials asked to cut Changle, Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty couldn't bear it, the master came to order, the old man entered the capital alone, and finally carried you out of the capital!

The word "Taiping" means that with your departure, whether it is Kyoto or Daqin, you can finally move towards peace!
And you have become the only disciple recognized by the old man! "

"Master..."

Ning Taiping opened his mouth,

But Ning Shuan stopped him.

"Seventeen years ago, Master returned to Yushan to see you and went to Xiao Weining, hoping that you would have nothing to do with Xiao Ying from now on, and you could live this long life in peace."

It's a pity...or this ordinary life is not suitable for you, right? "

Plop.

Ning Taiping knelt down.

"Master, this disciple is ashamed of the teachings I have given you and my master, I have let you and my master down."

"No!"

Ning Shu'an shook his head: "Everyone has their own aspirations, it's just that each person chooses a different way, and there is no disappointment, but the old man has something to say, and I have to tell you clearly.

After going down the mountain today, there will be no peace and peace in this world, whether it is Xiao Xiao, winning, or King Wu Zheng of Zhou, but Ning is the only one! "

Ning Shu'an said:

"This is the first, and the second, from today onwards, you are no longer a student of Yushan Academy, nor a disciple of the old man, let alone a disciple who does not fight for your father-in-law. You have to keep this in mind. If you hear you Speaking of this matter, the old man is indispensable, and I will go to Yushan next time!"

"Three...the journey to Daqin must not be that simple.

If you go to Daqin, then the court battles and the royal family's favor will be very dangerous.

The emperor of Yingshi is a Mingjun, and Yingzheng is now the crown prince of Qin, so your status is naturally not simple.

Since you went up the mountain, you have not gone down the mountain for 20 years. People in this world are unpredictable and difficult. I hope you will see more, listen more, think more, talk less, do less, and act less! "

"You, go down the mountain!"

After Ning Shu'an said this, he closed his eyes.

Taiping kowtows.

Tears flowed down my face.

"Disciple Xie Master for your advice, in this life, you should remember the three mores and the three lesss... It's just that after today, disciple, I will no longer be able to serve you old man.

I also hope that you, the elderly, can take care of your health. "

boom!
boom!
boom!
She kowtowed nine times.

His forehead was covered with blood...

Then, under the leadership of Chu Tunan, he walked down Yushan Academy.

"Master didn't say that she needs to break the relationship with Yushan Academy."

After people leave,

Cat Empress put down the calligraphy in her hand.

"Master doesn't say it, but this is what a senior brother should do. Now... her identity is no longer simple.

Master doesn't want to participate in the affairs of the court and the fate of the country, and he doesn't like trouble.

He may not say it, but as disciples, we should not be ignorant. "

His eyes are dim...

Seeing Taiping descending the mountain, I was finally reluctant to give up.

20 years of relationship.

From being a baby to now being a young girl.

Ning Shu'an and her, after all, have feelings...

After today's visit, the relationship was finally broken. ,

"Master, did you say when you will come back?"

"He said that Kyoto is still fine, and he has no intention of coming back..."

"Well, where's the cat lady?"

"kindness?"

"Do you have any ideas about going to Kyoto?"

The cat lady is silent...

for a long time.

nod,

"I haven't seen Master for a long time, but I miss him."
