After the divorce, I became a mountain god

Xu Bo'an was very confused about Chen Shishi's answer.

Even ordinary farmers know this story, but Chen Shishi, an courtesan who is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, knows nothing about it. Isn’t it a bit too well-deserved?

Xu Boan couldn't understand this at all.

However, when Chen Shishi asked what "Journey to the West" was, Xu Bo'an was surprised, but he still replied casually: "It's just that I don't know. This "Journey to the West" is a story. To put it simply, it is about a monk taking a monkey and The story of a pig going to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures!”

Xu Bo'an's answer was very perfunctory, but Chen Shishi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and said: "Go to the West to learn the scriptures? Grandpa Mountain God, you are talking about Master Tang Sanzang, the Monkey King, the Monkey King, the Monkey King, and the four masters and disciples, plus the White Dragon Horse, who have gone through tribulations The story of going to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures?”

Xu Bo'an was stunned when he heard this. He was a little dazed for a moment, and subconsciously responded: "Yes, that's the story. Do you know?"

Hearing Chen Shishi's words, Xu Boyan became even more confused.

What does it mean? Don’t you know it clearly? Why did you say you didn’t know just now?

Chen Shishi said with sudden realization: "Forgive me, Grandpa Mountain God, it's because the little girl has lost her talent and knowledge. It's true that the little girl knows this story, but the name of this story is not "Journey to the West", but "The Legend of Tang Sanzang's Journey to the West" .

That's why the little girl didn't react for a moment and mistakenly answered what Grandpa Mountain God said. The little girl was not quick-thinking and could not understand the meaning of Grandpa Mountain God in time. She was really ashamed. "

"The Legend of Tang Sanzang's Journey to the West"?
No problem.

Xu Boan also knows this name. The professor taught it in an elective course when I was in college.

This is the original name of "Journey to the West"!
However, in the 20th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the "Journey to the West" with newly engraved official characters and official characters published by Shidetang was widely known at that time, so the simplified name "Journey to the West" gradually came into being.

And as time went by, the easy-to-understand and simple name "Journey to the West" was accepted by everyone. On the contrary, few people knew the original name "Tang Sanzang Journey to the West".

Thinking of this, Xu Boyan's thoughts moved slightly.

It can be seen from this incident that people in the bonsai world knew the version of the story "Journey to the West" probably before the publication of "Journey to the West" with newly engraved official characters on it in the Wanli Year of the Ming Dynasty!
In other words, at that time, there were already people who could communicate with the bonsai world, and then the story of "Journey to the West" was introduced into the bonsai world.

But what happened to that person later?

But Xu Boan didn't know.

But to put it this way, the communication between the bonsai world and the real world has been around for some years.

Maybe some customs and culture in the bonsai world have also been spread bit by bit.

To be honest, this bonsai is like a family heirloom. One pot has been passed down for hundreds of generations, and the pot is still there when people leave.

I just don’t know why, but this thing has somehow come into my hands now.

Xu Boan suddenly remembered that when the villagers in Kaoshan Village first moved here, they heard Li Laosan say that he had heard in the city that Mr. Shu had told the story of Huaguo Mountain. Now that he thought about it, he had neglected this issue at that time. .

Xu Bo'an thought for a while and then asked: "How long has this story "Tang San's Journey to the West" appeared? Is it a story created by people from your Da Jing Dynasty?"

Chen Shishi shook her head and said: "It makes Grandpa Mountain God laugh. The little girl doesn't know these things. She just heard that "Tang Sanzang's Journey to the West" is a very old story. I don't know where this story came from. Yes, in short, almost all storytellers and traveling salesmen know this story."

Seeing that Xu Bo'an couldn't find out any valuable information, he gave up.

After reclaiming a large area of ​​forest land within the bonsai, Xu Boan put away the trowel and gave up.

Because it was the weekend, there were no people in the company except for the people on duty, and there was no important work.

Seeing that most of the day had passed, Xu Boan came out of the company and headed towards Dongjiang City Second Hospital.

Originally, after Xu Boan heard Chen Pingping talk about Tang Xiaorou's experience several times, Xu Boan wanted to see him.

If nothing else, Tang Xiaotong was his secretary after all, and his subordinate's family member was sick and hospitalized. As a leader, it was appropriate for him to go and visit and express his condolences.

Soon, Xu Boan drove to Dongjiang Second Hospital.

After parking the car, Xu Boan did not go in immediately. Instead, he first went to a row of shops opposite the hospital and bought some flowers and fruit baskets before carrying them into the hospital.

While walking, Xu Boan took out his phone and dialed Tang Xiaotong, and the call was quickly connected.

"Hello, Mr. Xu. I'm sorry that I've delayed my work during this period." Tang Xiaotong said with a guilty conscience after receiving Xu Bo'an's call.

Xu Bo'an comforted Tang Xiaotong disapprovingly and said: "Well, it's nothing. I called to ask which ward your family is in. I happened to pass by here and I went in to visit your family."

Although Dongjiang No. 2 Construction has a tradition of condolences to employees, it is obviously inappropriate for Xu Bo'an to come here alone. Usually a few people from the same company come with condolences, and there are special photographers to follow.

However, Xu Bo'an came alone for the sake of the Tang sisters and the family scandal that should not be made public.

However, in order to prevent Tang Xiaotong from being overly concerned, Xu Bo'an simply said that he was just passing by, lest Tang Xiaotong think that Xu Bo'an was being courteous for nothing, so what the hell!
Although Xu Bo'an also knew Tang Xiaotong's sister Tang Xiaorou, after all, he came here to see Tang Xiaotong's family, so it was most appropriate to choose to communicate with Tang Xiaotong.

Hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Tang Xiaotong was very excited: "Mr. Xu, how can this be so embarrassing? I asked for several days of leave, and you were very kind by not criticizing me. Why bother to bother you and do it again?" trip."

Xu Bo'an said softly: "It doesn't matter. It's just a drop-in. I've already come over and I'm in the hospital building now. Just tell me the room number of the ward."

After hearing what Xu Bo'an said, Tang Xiaotong couldn't continue to be polite, so she immediately told Xu Bo'an the ward number.

After determining the location of the ward, Xu Boan searched all the way there.

As soon as he walked outside the ward door, he saw Tang Xiaotong already waiting outside.

Seeing Xu Bo'an coming over, Tang Xiaotong hurriedly came up to him, looked at Xu Bo'an with burning eyes, and said with a moved expression: "Mr. Xu, thank you so much, I don't even know what to say."

Xu Bo'an smiled and handed over the things in his hands, and said softly: "Okay, don't feel any psychological pressure. Who can be okay?"

Tang Xiaotong took the fruit and flower baskets handed over by Xu Bo'an, and then led Xu Bo'an into the ward behind him.

This ward is not a single room, but a triple room with three beds.

It's just that the two sisters are pretty lucky. There happens to be only one patient living in the room at this time, Tang Xiaorou.

As soon as he entered the door, Xu Bo'an noticed Tang Xiaorou lying on the hospital bed by the window. Tang Xiaorou was half-lying on the blue-striped hospital bed. She seemed to be thinner than before, making her look more petite and exquisite.

Her slender, soft hair was scattered on the bed sheets, her face was a little pale, and her lips lacked blood, but she still maintained that elegant and demure temperament, and her eyes were still clear and bright.

Seeing Xu Bo'an walk in, Tang Xiaorou on the hospital bed suddenly opened her clear eyes.

Tang Xiaorou looked at Xu Boyan in surprise. Before she could speak, her sister Tang Xiaotong introduced her: "Sister, this is our leader I just told you, Mr. Xu."

After introducing the leaders of his company to his sister, Tang Xiaotong looked at Xu Boyan politely and continued to introduce: "Mr. Xu, this is my sister. Her name is Tang Xiaorou, and she is currently engaged in the real estate sales industry."

Tang Xiaotong had just finished the introduction when she heard Tang Xiaorou say in surprise: "This... is really you, Boss Xu."

Xu Bo'an nodded with a smile. Although he had already known about the relationship between the two of them, the way he knew it was a bit embarrassing, and he couldn't say it openly in the series of photos.

It would damage his image as a leader, and it would be embarrassing to talk about it.

Xu Bo'an nodded solemnly and said, "It's me. I really didn't expect that the world is so small."

"Yes, this shows that you and I are so destined." Tang Xiaorou was obviously in a good mood when she saw Xu Bo'an.

Tang Xiaotong opened his eyes wide in surprise, looked at the two people with incredible eyes, and exclaimed: "You two know each other!"

Xu Bo'an nodded and said calmly: "Yes, we know each other! It's such a coincidence."

Tang Xiaorou explained directly to her sister: "Boss Xu is my client. He bought a villa from me before, but I didn't expect that Boss Xu is actually your boss."

Tang Xiaotong suddenly blinked and thought of what his sister had told him a few days ago, about a temperamental and high-quality male client he met when selling a house. It seemed that this person was Xu Bo'an.

After all, selling villas is not like selling ordinary houses. Let alone one month, it is not easy to sell one or two houses a year. It can be regarded as half a year of non-opening and half a year of living.

Recently, my sister has only sold one villa, so naturally the customer is Xu Bo'an.

Thinking again that he had planned to introduce his young and rich boss to his sister, Tang Xiaotong felt that this was a wonderful coincidence.

Tang Xiaotong continued with a smile: "This is indeed a coincidence. Mr. Xu, please sit down quickly and let me peel an apple for you."

Xu Bo'an waved his hand and said: "There is no need to greet me. There is no need to see anyone outside. Taking care of the sick is better than anything else."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a strange voice coming from outside the door.

"Hey, I said my wings have become stiff recently. It turns out that I fell in love with a pretty girl. We haven't divorced yet. You even picked a spare tire. And you're taking care of her!"

Xu Boan looked deeply and saw a man wearing a leather jacket and a gold chain walking in from outside.

The leather jacket on the man seemed a little ill-fitting, and the tight fit highlighted his withered figure. The thick dark circles under his eyes and chapped lips could tell at a glance that this guy was living a very bad life.

Tang Xiaorou on the hospital bed was very excited when she saw the person coming.

"What are you doing here? Get out of here, or I'll call the police." Tang Xiaorou angrily scolded the visitor, raising her hand and pointing to the door.

This man dressed like a gangster continued to walk in disapprovingly. He glanced at Xu Boan with a playful look on his face, then looked at Tang Xiaorou and said, "What? Are you nervous because I broke up your adultery?"

Tang Xiaorou shouted angrily: "Stop talking nonsense there. Get out of here. Otherwise, I'll call the police."

But the man didn't take it seriously and said nonchalantly: "Call the police? You call the police! I came to see my lover who is sick and hospitalized. Why do you want me to go out? Even if I want to go out, it should be this pretty boy who goes out."

The man pointed at Xu Boan and glanced at him coldly.

Hearing this, Xu Bo'an didn't know whether to be angry or happy.

Are you angry? But people call me pretty boy.

This is not only a compliment to one's youthful appearance, but also a compliment to one's appearance. Xu Boan hasn't heard such praise for a long time.

Seeing the man approaching Xu Bo'an again, Tang Xiaotong took the first step and stopped in front of the man.

"What are you going to do? Get out! My sister has already made it very clear." Tang Xiaotong looked at the visitor with a cold expression.

The man's eyes were rolling, he looked Tang Xiaotong up and down and said: "Hey, isn't this my beautiful sister-in-law! You are so rude, you don't even know to call your brother-in-law when you see him. They say that sister-in-law is brother-in-law. My caring little cotton-padded jacket, what you’re doing is wrong.”

Tang Xiaotong gritted his teeth and said: "Liu, I have consulted the doctor. According to my sister's current injuries, if you are to be held responsible, you will inevitably go to jail. You'd better be more sensible and don't force us!"

The man still looked disapproving and said in a teasing tone: "Hey, hold me accountable? Why do you hold me accountable? My wife was injured, and I feel sadder than anyone else. You little girl won't call me Forget it, brother-in-law, why are you still not distinguishing between right and wrong?"

Tang Xiaorou shouted angrily: "Stop crying like a cat and pretending to be compassionate. How did my sister get hurt? You know it well."

The man spread his hands and said ruthlessly: "I don't know. There is no surveillance or anything in that place. I really can't explain this matter."

It turns out that this is the reason why he is so confident.

Tang Xiaorou took a deep breath, tried her best to speak calmly, and interjected: "Go away, I don't want to hear your nonsense."

The man nodded, raised his hand and rubbed his fingers, and said, "Okay? It's okay to let me go. But you have to give me some compensation for the loss of my youth over the years."

"What are you talking about? You're the only one who wants to pay for youth loss? Don't you think you're shameless?"

Tang Xiaotong stared at this man closely, unable to believe that a person could be so shameless.

The man still looked indifferent and said: "Well, I've said everything I should say anyway. If you don't want to talk about divorce, let's just spend it slowly. Let's see who of us can handle it. who."

"You are not only shameless, but also despicable." Tang Xiaotong even regretted that she should have learned some curse skills earlier, so that she would not be so lacking in language at this moment.

The man dug into his messy hair and said nonchalantly: "Whatever you say, I still say what I said. If you want to get a quick divorce, you have to compensate me for the loss of my youth. That's it. Think about it carefully."

Xu Bo'an was watching the farce with cold eyes, looking at the man with cold eyes, and suddenly said: "Hey, you guy, if your disease can be cured, why would you still break it like this? ?" (End of this chapter)
