Early spring in the world [farming]

The title "Little Master Uncle" is not unfamiliar to Tan Ruyi. It should be said that combined with Su Bei Gu's status as a Taoist priest, it can be inferred that the woman should be a female Taoist of Taizhenguan.

But what made Tan Ruyi feel strange was the woman's attire, which showed that she was married, and she didn't have any relationship with Taoism in her attire.

From this, Tan Ruyi deduced that the woman might be a scattered Taoist priest, that is, a Taoist priest who was not a true monk like Su Bei Gu.

Sure enough, Su Beigu fell into deep thought after the other party spoke, and it took a while to find the person corresponding to his memory from so many "nephews" of his own: "Are you Lu Youdao?"

The woman seemed a little dissatisfied with her that it took her so long to remember who she was, her plump red lips pursed into a line, and it took a while to reconcile with herself and replied: "It's me, little uncle."

Su Beigu said "Oh", then turned his head and introduced to Tan Ruyi: "This is Lu Jushi from Taizhenguan." After a pause, he added, "Once upon a time."

Although the other party was most likely not here to provoke trouble, the sense of crisis in Tan Ruyi's heart rose instead of falling.

"Lu Ju—"

Tan Ruyi didn't even finish calling the other party's title, and didn't even look at her at the other party, so she looked straight at Su Beigu: "What is once?"

Su Bei asked puzzledly, "Didn't you return to vulgarity?"

"I just practice at home."

Su Beigu nodded: "I see..."

The servant next to Lu Youdao who opened the way for him just now scolded Su Beigu with a fierce look on his face: "How dare you Taoist priest be so rude to Madam?!"

Lu Youdao reprimanded: "It's not your turn to talk here!"

The servant was a little stunned, obviously Lu Youdao's attitude towards Su Beigu was very bad, he just acted on his face, did he flatter the horse's hoof? !

Lu Youdao didn't care that the people around him were all looking at them and said: "Little Master Uncle, it's too hot outside and it's not a good place to catch up on the past, so please move to the pavilion."

Su Bei glanced at Tan Ruyi, who was still thinking about why Lu Youdao would bring her a sense of crisis.

"Okay." Su Bei Gu responded, and Tan Ruyi came back to her senses, followed Su Bei Gu, and followed Lu Youdao back to the pavilion.

Only after entering inside did he realize that there are small cubicles separated by screens. The cubicles are large and small, but Lu Youdao's cubicle is located in the center, and everything on the stage can be seen in a panoramic view.Moreover, this compartment is relatively large, with a few chairs placed near the railing, and a small coffee table between the chairs.

There are some snacks on the small coffee table. The cold food is mainly sugar cakes and twists. The hot food is steamed bag wrapped in cold skin and meat. The tea drink is the tea brewed by the maid.

"Little uncle, sit here." Lu Youdao sat in the middle and pointed to the chair on the right.

Su Beigu waited for Tan Ruyi to sit down before sitting down between Lu Youdao and Tan Ruyi, separating them.

Noticing her small gesture, Lu Youdao pursed his lips, and for a moment, his eyes passed Su Beigu and turned to Tan Ruyi: "I just forgot to ask, who is this little lady?"

Su Bei thought that since Tan Ruyi was no longer her sister-in-law, she should not introduce her identity to the outside world, so she said, "Sister next door, my friend, Tan Ruyi."

Lu Youdao squinted his eyes: "Sister next door? So, the little uncle has returned home?"

Su Beigu felt that her question was a bit strange, what if she couldn't go home?

However, Tan Ruyi was keenly aware of the hidden meaning behind Lu Youdao's question.First of all, Lu Youdao captured the information that "Su Beigu has returned to the Su family" from the address of the neighbor's sister, and the reason why she had such a reaction must have been unaware that Su Beigu had returned to the Su family. I thought Su Bei was in the Taoist temple.

But when Su Bei looked back at the Su family's affairs, the Taoist priests of Taizhen Temple should all know that. Why did the other party react like this?

Before Su Bei Gu could speak, Lu Youdao twitched the corners of his mouth again, showing a strange smile: "I always thought that my little master was practicing in Taizhen Temple."

Su Beigu didn't want to explain too much, and said, "I have been practicing Taizhen Temple before."

Lu Youdao didn't intend to get to the bottom of it either, and said with a bit of resentment: "I haven't seen you for four years, but my uncle's temperament really hasn't changed at all, and his whole mind is on cultivation."

Tan Ruyi finally knew where her sense of crisis came from!

Isn't Lu Youdao's attitude and tone exactly the same as when he blamed Su Bei for forgetting himself? !

She is very familiar with complaining about Su Bei Gu Yixin's practice, okay?

She looked at Su Beigu nervously, wanting to know what happened between the two, because Lu Youdao and Su Beigu must have spent more time together than herself, and there were more things that happened between them than she and Su Beigu !

Su Beigu knew nothing about Tan Ruyi's worries, she didn't even hear the resentment in Lu Youdao's tone, she just asked in a daze: "Speaking of which, just now your servant called you 'madam', you are married ?”

After Tan Ruyi found out that Su Bei had finished consulting, Lu Youdao's expression was no longer as bright as before, and the light in his eyes dimmed a bit.

"Four years ago, my father changed his official position and returned to Beijing after his term of office expired, so I returned to Beijing with my family." Lu Youdao smiled, "At that time you went home for the funeral, and I couldn't even say goodbye to you."

Su Bei Gu nodded: "Master told me later."

Lu Youdao showed a strange look again: "She told you everything?"

"Huh?" Su Bei Gu was puzzled, what does this mean?

Lu Youdao said with a smile: "She has always valued you, thinking that with your talent, you are very likely to be promoted like Zhong Xiangu. For your Dao, you should abandon all distracting thoughts and concentrate on practicing. How could she tell you everything. "

Su Bei didn't want to guess the meaning behind Lu Youdao's words: "Nephew Lu has something to say, you might as well just say it."

Lu Youdao shook his head: "It's nothing. Thinking of the past, it's just a little bit sentimental."

She took a sip of tea, and a white layer of tea bubbles stuck to her lips, making her lip fat look less bright red.

She gently wiped her lips with a towel to prevent more lip fat from being wiped off, then put away the towel and said: "Not long after I returned to Beijing with my family, it happened that Chun Wei made a list, and my father also followed other people's lists. My son-in-law, I have chosen a husband-in-law of a new Jinshi."

Su Beigu didn't respond, after all, she wasn't interested in other people's marital status.

Lu Youdao obviously didn't want to talk too much about her marriage, so she chose to start the topic from the perspective of the past.Tan Ruyi didn't know if she was showing off that she had known Su Beigu for a longer time, but being able to understand Su Beigu's past from the side is indeed something worth paying attention to.

As I mentioned before, many people send their children to Taoist temples to become monks, not because their children have been devoted to Taoism at a young age. Except for devout Taoists, most of them are to let the frail and sick children get a touch of gods and better luck. Live, and send them to Taoism.

Su Bei Gu is like this, and so is Lu Youdao.

Lu Youdao's father was originally a Tanzhou judiciary who joined the army. Because his daughter Lu Youdao was weak and sick, he happened to hear about Taizhen Temple's reputation, so he decided to send ten-year-old Lu Youdao to Taizhen Temple to temporarily become a monk.

Lu Youdao was pampered and spoiled since she was a child, and because of her frailty, she was loved and cared for. After she was sent to Taizhen Temple, she didn't eat as well as Lu's family, and no one around her pampered her. temper.

She had thought that the people in the Taoist temple would coax her, but who would have thought that the Taoist priests would just watch her beating and rolling, and compare her with Su Beigu, a disciple of the Master of Jing, Wen Yingxiu, saying that Su Beigu entered the Taoist temple at the age of five, almost She couldn't survive, and she didn't take Joe because of it, and let people coax her.

Not only was Su Beigu not coaxed or used to others, but he was quite self-conscious both in life and in practice. He never disliked the unpalatable fast food, did not think that homework was hard, and had no complaints about daily labor.

Compared with Lu Youdao, it is clear at a glance who is more pleasing.

Lu Youdao was not convinced, and felt that because Su Beigu became a monk early, everyone favored her!

In order to expose the fact that Su Beigu is not as good as everyone said, Lu Youdao stared at Su Beigu every day, competing with him, even though Su Beigu didn't realize that the other party was competing with him.

Lu Youdao soon lost in this contest with the air, because she found that Su Beigu was different from ordinary children. As a five-year-old, she slowly spoke fluently and learned to run and jump, but she fell ill every now and then, and was always in the air. For a child wandering around the gate of hell, the last thing Su Beigu should do is to make herself tired, or to have someone prepare delicacies and tonics every day like the Lu family couple did to her.

In fact, Su Bei Gu never talked about her weakness. She ate food on time every day, got up before dawn to do homework with other Taoist priests, and meditated in her spare time.When it is her turn to work, as long as she is not too sick to get out of bed, she will definitely finish it on time.

She respects her teacher and never complains of suffering or tiredness. Apart from pity for her frailty and admiration for her talent in practice, everyone's love for her comes more from her own personality charm. All temperament.

Lu Youdao was subtly influenced by Su Beigu. In addition to getting used to and adapting to the Taoist life, she also began to practice meditation... Simply put, she is no longer so delicate, and her attachment to the Lu family is not so deep. Bei Gu's attitude was not as hostile as before.

……

"Su Beigu, you are going to Fuqiu Temple on Shangyuan Festival, how can you not take me there?!"

In the vegetable garden of Taizhenguan, Lu Youdao stood outside the fence and shouted at the girl who was watering the vegetable seedlings inside.

The female Taoist next to Lu Youdao reprimanded lightly: "Don't be big or small, you have to call Junior Uncle."

The promotion of Su Beigu's status is not only because of the passing of the older generation in the Taoist temple, which leads to the change of generations, but also because of the Taoism and practice that Su Beigu has shown in Taoism and practice, which makes people admire and worship from the bottom of their hearts.

Who would have thought that the little girl who would die of illness at any time nine years ago, was only 14 years old and had a profound morality no less than that of a real person? !

Prior to this, the only Taoist priest with such talent that the world could think of was Zhong Xiangu.

Under the coercion of his fellow disciples, Lu Youdao reluctantly changed his words: "Uncle, I also want to go to Fuqiu Temple."

Su Beigu didn't mind Lu Youdao's "not big or small", and said with a slight smile, "It's not up to me to go to Fuqiu Temple to exchange ritual rituals. If you want to go, you can tell Master to let me go." She took you too."

"I usually look for you, but she looks like I've spoiled you and disturbed your clean-up. I took the initiative to find her, how could she agree? It's only useful if you talk about it." Lu Youdao thought of that serious face with a sigh Faint.

Su Bei Gu pondered for a moment, and said: "Actually, do you want to participate in the exchange of ritual rituals or play? If you want to play, there is no way. After all, you should go home to reunite with your family on the Lantern Festival. Just find a reason to go to Fuqiu Temple with your family."

Lu Youdao didn't really become a monk after all, and the Taoist temple didn't have strict rules on whether she should go home or go to the Taoist temple to practice.

Lu Youdao was stunned for a moment, and said happily: "Yes, why didn't I think of it?! Then I'll go home first, and then I'll go to Fuqiu Temple to play with you!"

She rushed to make preparations, but her senior brother from the same sect stayed behind and said: "Uncle, Master Jing said that you should go back to practice, and I will do the rest."

"Well, I have to work." Su Beigu came out of the vegetable garden, washed his hands, and made sure that his clothes were not stained with mud before going to the temple.

"Shangyuan Festival, reunite with your family?" Su Beigu murmured to himself, then shook his head with a smile, he has been here for so many years, and now he only feels a little bit of envy, isn't this hypocritical?

The author has something to say:

Layman Lu: Speaking of which, I am the childhood sweetheart of my uncle.

Sister Tan: Haven’t you heard a word?Qingmei lost to the sky.

Layman Lu: ...

-

The second half is Lu Youdao’s memories. The time period is about when Su Daochang was 14 years old, that is, when Sister Qin’s grandfather suffered a stroke, and the family went to Fuqiu Temple to pray for blessings on the Lantern Festival.The chronological order is roughly as follows: Grandfather Tan suffered a stroke—the Tan family prayed for blessings on the Lantern Festival, Daoist Su worshiped at Fuqiu—Su’s father was killed, Lu Youdao returned to Beijing—the Su family went to the Tan family to buy a coffin.

So the first half of the next chapter is also a memory...
