Chapter 607 An old man visits(2/2)
"Yes!"
"Let me wash up..."
The Taoist looked away from the window and started washing again.
After washing and combing my hair, I changed into clean clothes, paid attention to my personal image, went downstairs, had breakfast, and then went out.
There is an alley next to the inn, only a few feet wide. Beside the alley is a high courtyard wall, and within the wall is the open space that can be seen through the rear-facing window in the upstairs room of the inn.
There is a door in the middle of the courtyard wall, but there is no house number. There is a flag that says "Yang Family Cloth Shop", but this should be the door for the workers in the cloth shop, not the residence of the Yang family, so I keep walking.
The Taoist walked around in a long circle, almost reaching the opposite side of the square, before he saw a large house.
The house number says "Yang Mansion".
The Taoist pursed his lips before knocking on the door.
"Tuk tuk tuk..."
After a while, a servant came to open the door.
"Who are you looking for, sir?"
When the servant saw that he was a Taoist, he was suspicious but did not dare to neglect him, so his face showed two contradictory expressions of vigilance and respect at the same time.
"Can Xiao Chai Niang live here?"
"Sir, what does Mr. Chai have to do with my wife?" The servant looked at him carefully, "If Mr. Chai is here to clear up some strange things, he is married to my husband and does not see guests easily. I can give him some advice."
The husband also pointed out a fellow countryman of my family, Chai Xiaoniang, who also lives in the city, not far from here. He is older and more talkative."
The servant's tone was very polite and his speech was very fluent. I think he must have said this many times.
But Xiao Chainiang must not have seen no visitors at all, otherwise, the man on the roadside would never have seen her.
"I have misunderstood you. We have indeed heard the rumors, but it is not to clear up confusion, but because we have an old relationship with Xiao Chai Niang in the house, and we came here to find old acquaintances." Song You's attitude was polite, "Please inform me, just say there is someone outside the door.
A Taoist priest named Song came to visit and brought a cat, claiming to be an old acquaintance of hers, and her grandfather was named Chai Xueyi."
"..."
The servant was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
The speaker's tone and attitude sounded sincere, and it didn't sound like he was lying. He even mentioned the name of Chai Xiaoniang's grandfather in the family.
I don’t know if it’s true or not, and I don’t know if this name has spread outside. Anyway, the servants don’t know the name of Chai Xiaoniang’s grandfather in the family. But speaking of it, Chai Xiaoniang in the family has several fellow villagers in and outside the city.
, we can barely be considered fellow villagers. In fact, we didn’t know him at first, but we became familiar with him after we got here. However, most of them are very old and came here many years ago, but they have never heard of such a young Taoist.
This man looks much younger than his husband, Chai Xiaoniang.
"..."
The servant thought for a moment and then said:
"Please wait."
Then he closed the door and ran into the house.
After a while, the door opened again.
At this time, there was already a charming and graceful woman standing inside the door. She was wearing clothes of luxurious fabrics and silver jewelry. She was beautifully dressed. She stood behind the servant with a frown on her face. Her expression was very complicated, as if she was a bit expectant and anxious.
A little confused, a little excited and a little unbelievable, I looked at the Taoist at the door.
Both sides looked at each other.
As the servant said, he is a very young Taoist.
The face was vaguely familiar, but too young.
The woman was stunned and didn't dare to recognize each other until she looked down and saw the calico cat squatting at the Taoist's feet, raising a paw and originally licking it. At this time, it stopped and stared up at him.
The memories from years ago gradually became clearer, and the other emotions in his eyes gradually dissipated, turning into wonder and disbelief.
"Young lady from the Chai family, I haven't seen you for many years. How are you?" The Taoist said with a gentle tone.
"Taoist Priest! It's really you!"
"I didn't expect my wife to come out, and I didn't expect to hear news about my wife here. I'll see you here." Song You was still very calm, "Is your wife still used to the life outside here?"
"..."
The sentence "I'm still used to life outside" seemed to bring back the memory of this young lady, and it seemed that she had finally found someone to talk to, and it seemed that she had finally found someone who had lived in her own home.
People, how can they bear it for a while?
Immediately his eyes turned red, and he subconsciously took two steps forward. He regarded this Taoist priest as a relative and elder, and stretched out his hand to support him. Remembering that he was already married, and there were more rules here than in his hometown, he had no choice but to retract his hand.
I came back and gently wiped my tears.
Dreams cry and tears are red and dry.
The Taoist was also filled with emotion.
At that time, in the mountain village in the painting, which seems to be called Xiaobei Village, I met three juniors from the Chai family for the first time in an old farmer's house. The two women were still young, in their teens, but they were now married.
People these days mature earlier and age faster. They age faster after getting married and having children. This little Chai Niang should be heading towards her thirties now. The so-called half-old lady is also talking about her thirties.
age.
"Taoist Priest! Please come in quickly!"
Xiao Chai Niang quickly invited him into the courtyard.
Then he bowed to the servant beside him and said to the servant: "Please go and inform Mr. Hu, saying that I have a very important guest who needs to be entertained."
The servants were stunned when they saw this, their eyes flickering.
I remembered the story that Chai Xiaoniang would tell in rough or detailed terms every time a guest came to her home. The servants like them would occasionally hear it and were familiar with it.
There is a Taoist in the story.
Everyone said it was a fairy.
It seems that the Taoist also brought a cat.
Now I see this Chai Xiaoniang’s reaction...
"yes!"
The servant did not dare to delay and left quickly.
