Chapter 431 Picked up a Master
Chen Ce wanted to buy something for his mother, so Yun Ran stopped trying to grab it. She smiled and said, "Okay, buy it yourself. I'll buy you something delicious later."
"Sister Ranran is so nice." Chen Ce's rosy little face was full of smiles.
Yun Chengxi on the side was not to be outdone: "Master, I want one too!"
"My father is a horse, my mother is a pig, my sister is a rabbit, and I am a tiger. Please blow a horse, a pig, a rabbit, and a big tiger for me!"
"Okay!" The old master responded readily. He scooped a spoonful of syrup with a small spoon, took a thin bamboo stick, wrapped the syrup around it, and started blowing.
Yun Chengxi quickly added, "Master, I'll pay for it myself too!"
The candy man master blew the candy man in his mouth and just made a gesture to Yun Chengxi without saying anything.
Then Chen Ce shouted again: "My father was born in the year of the Rooster. Please blow a big rooster for me!"
The sugar figurine maker wanted to make a gesture to Chen Ce, but he didn't know what he thought of, his mouth twitched, his hands trembled, and the big tiger he had just blown almost turned into a cat.
Yun Ran looked at the old master's slightly red face, hissed, and frowned.
No matter how she looked at him, she felt that the master craftsman who blew sugar figures looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere.
The Master Zhang who blew sugar figures here before didn’t seem to look like this?
However, before today, she had never bought sugar figures here. She just passed by and took a few glances, so she didn't remember it clearly.
While Yun Ran was pondering, the sugar figure master over there skillfully blew one after another. Soon, he had finished blowing all the sugar figures that Chen Ce and Yun Chengxi wanted.
"Come, you two little guys, take a look, are these the ones?"
As soon as he spoke, the impression in Yun Ran's mind became clearer.
This sugar figurine blower seemed to be the one she met on the way to Kuizhou with her grandfather and her great-grandfather?
At that time, it seemed that a book called "Geography and Scenery" was also given to her, so Yun Ran had a very deep impression of the old man, a weird old man.
Chen Ce and Yun Chengxi were completely immersed in the joy of playing with the sugar figures at this time and did not pay attention to anything else.
Yun Ran walked around the candy figurine stall, approached the candy figurine maker, and asked tentatively, "Grandpa, is... is it you?"
She remembered that the old man who gave her the book was an old man with white hair and a youthful face, with all his white hair tied into a bun, but the man selling candy in front of her had black hair.
Moreover, the grandfather said at that time that he was a fortune teller.
But why is the fortune teller selling sugar figurines again? Yun Ran was a little unsure.
"Ouch, the little girl recognized me!"
Unexpectedly, the sugar figurine maker slapped his thigh, shouted, then reached out and pulled his own black hair off, revealing the white hair inside, just like a magic trick.
"oh!"
"oh!"
Chen Ce and Yun Chengxi were both attracted by him. The two little brats opened their mouths wide and stared at him with eyes wide open.
Yun Ran was also surprised, but since she had seen Nan Xuan change his face with a human skin mask before, she was not so surprised anymore.
"Grandpa... why are you in Kuizhou?" Yun Ran asked after a moment's pause, "... and are you here to sell sugar figurines?"
"I'm bored when I'm free. Besides, Kuizhou is close to the capital, so it's bustling with people." The old man laughed, "I don't just sell sugar figurines, I also sell sugar paintings."
As he spoke, he scooped another spoonful of syrup with a spoon, shook his wrist, and poured the syrup on a flat and smooth stone slab to make the sugar painting.
A moment later, a vivid phoenix leaped onto the stone slab.
"oh!"
The two little brats exclaimed in surprise again.
The old man was very generous. After the sugar painting solidified, he used a small spatula to carefully scrape off the phoenix sugar painting, inserted a skewer, and handed it to the two people.
"Here, this old man is giving it to you to play with!"
“Thank you, Grandpa!”
After getting the sugar paintings, the two little kids went to play aside.
Seeing that they were only near the stall and had not run far, Yun Ran took the opportunity to talk to the old man.
"Grandpa, I've finished reading the book you gave me last time and have taken notes. It's very well written. I'll bring it back to you tomorrow."
The old man waved his hand and said, "Well, there's no need for that. If you've memorized everything, just burn the book."
These words are exactly the same as what Ye Jingzhen said at that time.
Yun Ran was stunned for a moment.
At that time, Xiao Jing's brother asked her to burn the books, but she couldn't bear to do so, so she locked the books in a small cabinet in her room, which was very hidden.
But she never expected that one day she would meet the old man who gave her books, and this old man also asked her to burn books.
"Do you... know Xiao Jing, the young prince Jing'an?"
She had originally asked tentatively, but unexpectedly the old man slapped his thigh and laughed: "Girl is really smart!"
"Old man, I not only know Prince Jing'an, but I also know your master!"
Yun Ran:……!
Seeing her surprised look, the old man smiled with his eyes curved: "Speaking of which, I am also half of your master's master, you have to call me..."
"Master...ancestor." Yun Ran swallowed and replied.
“That’s right!”
Yibanlian stroked his white mustache, his old face smiling like a blooming chrysanthemum, "But your old master just came down from the mountain, he has nowhere to eat and where to stay..."
Yun Ran was very understanding. Before he could finish, he quickly said, "Then, Master, please come back to Shanhai Tower with me! I will definitely not let you sleep in the open!"
"What a good boy." Yibanlian was extremely satisfied. It had to be the girl Ranran. When that brat Nanxuan heard that he was going down the mountain to play, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. The old man was scared to death!
"Then Master, is there something important that you came down the mountain to do?" Yun Ran blinked and asked.
"Ahem," Yibanlian choked at the question, then said, "There's... a little... important matter."
Yun Ran didn't doubt it, thinking that he was worried that it would be inconvenient for him to take him in, so he said, "It's okay, then Master, you can stay here. When you finish your business and want to go back, you can go back."
"Okay, Miss Ranran is still thoughtful." Yibanlian's old face didn't even turn red, and she put on the black wig again.
It was night time now, and almost no one coming and going noticed this place. Even if they noticed, they would think it was a magic trick.
That was settled. Yun Ran took Chen Ce and Yun Chengxi to continue shopping and buy some firecrackers, melon seeds, candies and other things. When they came back later, they would come over to help Yibanlian close the stall and go back to Shanhai Tower.
I went out shopping and found a master.
Because Yibanlian didn't want to reveal his identity, Yun Ran told his two younger brothers that he was an old man he had known before. He was alone and helpless, making a living by selling sugar figures and sugar paintings. He had no place to stay when he first arrived in Kuizhou.
The two boys had long been impressed by Yibanlian's skills in blowing sugar figures and making sugar paintings, so they naturally agreed happily.
So after the three of them walked around the entire North Street, they returned to the sugar figurine stall, helped Yibanlian close the stall, and the four of them went back to Shanhai Tower together.
