Chapter 165 The first promise
After the mule cart traveled for a while, Mr. Fan got off the car and bought a set of girls' ready-made clothes, and then took out a piece of red silk: "Buying fresh clothes is easy to be traced. Just ordinary clothes, adding a piece of red silk will have the same effect. Mingrun, what are you going to do?"
"
Su You said: "Let the entire Shanchan Mansion know that Nong Zhigao is here!"
Mr. Fan was surprised and said: "How is it possible?"
While Su You was changing his clothes, he said, "Sir, just watch. Park the car at the entrance of the alley over there, and drive away as soon as I get in the car. Keep your ears and ears alert."
After getting dressed, Su You took out a handful of candies from his bag, got out of the car and entered the alley.
In the alley, several children were playing.
Su You watched them play for a while and said, "It's not fun for you, why don't you play a high-five game?"
A girl looked at him and said, "Sister, how do you play the high-five game?"
Su You was only six years old, and his voice hadn't changed yet. He wore women's clothing and spoke with an accent that the girl didn't recognize at all.
Su You then said: "Sister, let me teach you. But it will be fun if you put it to children's songs..."
Soon, several children learned the children's songs. Su You said: "Okay, now you work in pairs and show me how to play. It is said that if you play well, Grandma Liushu at the entrance of the alley will reward good children.
Yeah! I heard that if you can teach others, the rewards will be even greater..."
The children started playing with each other. Su You quietly exited the alley, put a handful of candies on the branches of the willow tree at the entrance of the alley, jumped on the mule cart and said, "Quickly!"
Several children played a round: "Huh? The young lady just disappeared."
A child said: "Go to the alley entrance and look at the willow trees."
Several children ran to the alley, and there were actually some candies placed in the nests of the willow trees.
The girl before had clapped her hands happily and said, "It's true! Grandma Liushu is giving out sweets! Let's go teach other friends!"
The same thing is happening everywhere in Shanchan Mansion. The grandpa with the stone lion at the entrance of the alley has a reward, the uncle on the steps has a reward, the father-in-law at the base of the square gate has a reward, the elder brother on the window sill has a reward...
The mule cart made a circle, and Su You got on the cart and changed his clothes: "I'm exhausted. Sir, please wait for two more days. If you don't see results within two days, I will never stop you if you want to do something."
Mr. Fan said: "You have been staying in my room these past two days. You have to explain many things first. You must take back the books and texts I left in the Erlin Department of the Song Dynasty."
After finishing speaking, he sighed again and closed his eyes: "I'm afraid if you leave it to others, they won't take it seriously, so just think of it as my thoughts for you. When you grow up... forget it, I won't be here by then, it's up to you to do whatever you want.
That’s it.”
Su You also had a solemn look on his face: "Sir, you don't care about the future as a child. You don't dare to inherit your life as a child. You must continue your career and stabilize the southwest of the Song Dynasty. This... can be regarded as Su You's
The first promise in this life."
The vehicle swayed forward, Mr. Fan's eyes were still closed, but his beard swayed slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.
After breakfast the next morning, Mr. Fan went out, and Su You probably went to continue the follow-up observation.
Atunmi was going to take Su You to go shopping. Su You also wanted to see if the decorations from yesterday evening had begun to ferment, so he naturally agreed.
At this moment, a group of people came outside the door, led by a soldier: "I am Qingpingguan and sit down to take command. Who is Master Mingrun?"
It seemed that it had an effect. Su You quickly stood up and said, "That's it, kid."
The conductor looked at Su You, as if he couldn't believe it: "Little... child?"
Su You nodded and said: "I am Su Mingrun, what's the matter with Shangguan?"
The conductor said: "There is a noble person who wants to see you, come with me, by the way..."
After saying that, he waved to the door: "Bring everything in!"
A group of sergeants came in shortly after, and there were a bunch of boxes of various sizes, as well as cloth, silk, and silk. The people in the yard stared at each other.
The conductor cupped his hands and said: "This is a gift from the Lord, young gentleman, let's go now."
Atunmi stood up and protected Su You: "General, where are you taking Xiao You?"
The conductor smiled and said: "Don't worry, Madam, it's always a good thing. We will be back soon."
Atunmi said coldly: "I am General Zai Li of the Song Dynasty, the daughter of the Great Ghost Lord of the Erlin Department. I brought my little brother to Dali. If you want to take me away, I must follow you."
The commander checked Atunmi's seal and couldn't help but twitched twice on his face: "My Lord has told me never to offend a great talent. In this case, the general will go with Xiao Langjun."
Things were a bit unexpected, and seemed to have deviated from the expected track. Even if Atunmi was brought along, people in Dali probably would not dare to do anything to someone who held an official position in the Song Dynasty.
The carriage traveled north and passed through the entire city. On the way, Su You heard a strange sound coming from the air. It seemed like a bird chirping or singing. He couldn't help but wonder: "What is this sound?"
Adunmi was very carefree and raised the window of the car: "Commander, what is this sound?"
The conductor followed on horseback beside the carriage. Hearing this, he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "This is a unique feature of our Shanchan Mansion. It is the singing of the wonderful singing bird on the East Temple Tower."
"Really?" Su You also stuck his head out of the car window and saw the carriage passing by a temple. Inside the temple was a tall square tower with four bronze statues of birds on the top corners.
The shape of the bronze statue is very strange. It spreads its wings and screams. Su You has watched a documentary about Xixia and knows that this thing is called Garuda. It feeds on dragons. In the end, toxins accumulate in the body, causing green fire and death.
However, the Xixia Garuda has the body of a bird and the head of a human, while the one in Dali is the image of a mighty bird.
The wind is blowing now, and there must be some mechanism in the belly and throat, so the bronze statue makes a strange and pleasant sound.
Su You couldn't help but praise: "It's wonderful, it's really a miraculous craftsmanship!"
These words scratched the conductor's itch, and he suddenly felt proud: "My work of gold and copper in Dali is unparalleled in the world. Everyone who has come to Shanchan Mansion is obsessed with the wonderful sound of the Twin Towers."
After saying that, he opened up the chatterbox and began to tell various supernatural legends about the Twin Temple Pagodas and the Wonderful Sound Bird.
Soon the carriage entered a city gate, and the atmosphere in the house suddenly changed.
Just like the Jiangqing settlement in Meishan, the houses here are obviously inhabited by wealthy families compared to those in the outer areas.
A magnificent official palace appeared in front of him. When the carriage passed the closed main gate, Su You saw a plaque above the main gate and knew that the Shanchan Prefecture had arrived.
The carriage stopped at the side door, and the conductor asked the two of them to get out of the carriage. A butler came up to pick them up, and invited the two of them to enter the house.
All the way into the beautiful mansion, the housekeeper explained to Suyou and Atunmi what to pay attention to when meeting noble people.
After walking a long way through the hall to transfer property, we finally came to a waterside pavilion by a pond in the back garden. Under the wind curtain, a scribe in white turned around when he heard the footsteps. Su You couldn't help but be surprised when he saw it: "Brother Gao?!"
The scribe in white was Gao Zhisheng whom he met in the bookstore that day.
Gao Zhisheng was very cool and unrestrained: "Hahaha, dear brother, one day is like three autumns after not seeing you. I will pick you up early in the morning. I hope you will not be too rude."
Su You quickly returned the gift: "Don't dare, don't dare. By the way, this is my sworn sister, Atunmi of the Erlin Department. She has many business dealings with your country, and I hope Brother Gao will take care of her in the future."
Gao Zhisheng looked at Atunmi and nodded: "I know, the tiger girl of the big ghost master of the Erlin Department. Is the big ghost master okay?"
Atunmi saluted and said, "I have been away from home for several months when I return to Yameni, but I learned from the letter that my father is in good health as usual."
It seems that the two of them knew each other, or at least were well-known to each other.
Gao Zhisheng waved his hand and said: "Today I will only talk about friendship literature, regardless of status."
After speaking, the two of them were invited to sit down, and the maid served tea and snacks.
The water pavilion faces water on three sides, and the scenery is beautiful. Su You praised: "The scenery here is excellent."
Gao Zhisheng said with a smile: "I like to read and write here on weekdays. By the way, I took a quick look at Mr. Long's book and it was really enlightening. However, I still have many doubts. Today I have the audacity to ask my wise brother for some advice."
Su You said: "Brother Gao, how dare I show off before, but I have been reminded a lot by Master Long, so it's okay to be a mouthpiece. Brother Gao is in charge of his own affairs, Su You knows everything he knows, and he will tell you everything."
Then the two began to discuss it, leaving Atunmi aside.
After discussing it for an hour, Su You saw that Atunmi was a little bored, so he said to Gao Zhisheng: "The scenery in this garden is very beautiful, how about we take a walk? Let's talk while we walk?"
