11. Unlit Alley

Zhaoran pretended to be helped down from the carriage by Wang Zeng, and looked up to see Jiuru wearing a Confucian shirt, with a plain silk tied around his waist, his long black hair tied in a cone knot, and a white forehead tied in front of his forehead.

Li Mo pointed at Jiuru and said vaguely: "This is a student I invited from the Mountain Academy, and I write it well." ”

It is clear that even if Princess Jiashan really copied the scriptures for Mrs. Li, she would not really copy them all night, and this student was the ghostwriter invited by the Li Mansion for her.

It's just that this really student asked Jiuru to drop a bag halfway.

Jiu Ru stepped forward and saluted, his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, revealing a little calm.

Wang Zeng nodded, as if he was an old acquaintance with Jiuru.

----

There was no one in front of the spirit, and there was a glimpse of a heavy coffin parked behind the white curtain, although Mrs. Li was gnawed to the point that only a piece of skin remained, but the coffin was still needed.

A few people put on incense, Li Mo welcomed people into the inner hall, and not long after, an old housekeeper of the Li Mansion came in to deliver tea, and before the lid was opened, he could smell a strange aroma in the bowl.

"Good tea, this must be a mouthful of incense in the house. Wang Zeng said.

Li Mo obviously knew that the person who came was not really a princess, so he said slowly: "This wild tea that originally grew on the cliff needs to be caught up before dawn, take advantage of the white on the leaves, and hold the young leaves in your mouth, and you must be a young woman to maintain the natural aroma of wild tea." ”

Oh, the tea was in the mouth of a young woman, Zhaoran squinted to glance at Jiuru, but saw that Jiuru's face was calm, and the fingers holding the tea bowl were white and slender, but as steady as Mount Tai, Zhaoran was slightly disappointed.

"No wonder this mouthful of money is rare. Wang Zeng sighed.

Li Mo's face was a little sad: "This tea recipe was originally the secret recipe of my wife's family, I am a useless scholar, and thanks to my wife's management in the past few years, this will not fall into the middle of the family, but she is gone, I am afraid that I will not have more days to spare." ”

Zhao Ran opened his mouth and asked, "Master Li, why is there no one else in your house?"

Li Mo's face was slightly discouraged: "I originally had three wives and concubines, and the two concubines passed away not long after they entered the door, and this year's deceased wife was even more miserable, I think I must be ominous, and I don't want to involve others more, so I let the servants below go......" He choked up when he said this, and he couldn't go on.

"Lord Li mourns. Wang Zeng said, most of the servants that Li Mo let go are now in the hands of Wen Zhigeng, even if Wen Zhigeng didn't say anything, it seems that he didn't find anything useful.

After a few people chatted a few words, Li Mo got up and took them into the Buddhist hall in the backyard, and there was another tower next to the Buddhist hall: "Madame was a Buddhist believer when she was alive, so she also built a Buddhist bell tower at home." ”

"It's very good here. Wang Zeng took a look at the terrain.

Zhao Ran took a look, and hummed in his heart: "It's really a good place to kill people." ”

This Buddha hall is very close to the back wall, and the demon dares to commit crimes against the wind, it must be an arrogant person, if it is given such a place that seems to be easy to escape, I am afraid that it will take a risk if it knows that it is a trap.

"What about Wen Zhigeng?" asked Zhao Ran, although Wen Zhigeng was dangerous, if he was allowed to bite others, that bite would definitely be powerful.

Wang Zeng seemed to know what he was thinking, and said: "Lord Wen is too angry, he is here, I am afraid that he will scare away the demons, there is a Buddha here, you don't have to worry." ”

He turned his head to Jiuru and said, "The concubine of this official will be entrusted to the Buddha." ”

Ahh......h Zhaoran's eyelids twitched.

Jiuru didn't say much, just lowered his eyes slightly, and gently bowed his head.

----

Li Mo had already arranged it in the Buddhist hall, and a screen was placed in the hall to separate Jiuru from Zhaoran, and Zhaoran was inside, and Jiuru sat outside the screen.

Wang Zeng left two maids for Zhaoran, and the two waitresses had wider backs than ordinary women, obviously they had practiced martial arts and secretly protected Zhaoran.

Zhao Ran secretly thought in his heart, this Wang Zeng also has some conscience.

He sat down and copied a few pages of Buddhist scriptures casually, and couldn't help yawning, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Jiuru sitting on the other side of the screen, holding Zihao and copying the Buddhist scriptures wholeheartedly, and he felt a little bad in his heart.

According to Zhaoran's vision, Ru Niang's skinny appearance is only medium, delicate, and now it looks a little like her appearance, and the elegant charm is folded and deducted, and it is not even medium.

But such a middle-to-bottom posture can make Wang Zeng's heart move, but I am afraid that it will be used to deal with Jiuru, a little Buddha who is not familiar with the world.

He touched his chin, feeling that words are not as good as teaching by example, taking advantage of the lonely men and widows, if Jiuru tastes the beauty of the grinding between the ears and temples, it is far better than saying that he can use it with his mouth.

Zhaoran glanced back at the two maids who were accompanying him, and rolled his eyes and said, "The weather is too cold, you go and make me something to eat." ”

The maid was slightly stunned, they were just bait, and they were just bait, and they were just to lure the demon to take the bait, but they didn't think that Zhaoran actually opened their mouths to eat, but they still bent down and asked in a low voice: "I don't know what the princess wants to eat?"

"It's getting late, so let's just put it on it, steam the fish, fry the Mawu beans, and then have a pot of Xianxiang tea, go quickly." Zhaoran waved his hand.

The two maids looked at each other, Jiuru put down the pen in his hand and said: "There is a writing in the note of the Northern Wei Dynasty Water Classic, the fish jumps over the dragon gate, crosses the dragon gate, and has to cross the dragon gate, otherwise the amount will be returned." At this point, the princess of the fish refers to the fat carp. Mawu beans are fried peanuts, Xianxiang tea, the carp jumps over the dragon gate in front, and Xianxiang tea refers to Longjing tea. ”

Zhao Ran had no choice but to "tsk" twice, thinking that Jiuru was shy, but he didn't expect his brain to be so good, he waved his hand and said, "Don't go yet, go together, and prepare the meal for the palace earlier." ”

The two maids hesitated for a moment, they were the female guards secretly accompanied by the Attached Horse Mansion, but they were raised to protect the real princess, not the princess pretended to be Zhaoran, a low-class poor person.

Therefore, after a little hesitation, they went out together, and they were relieved to get out.

As soon as Zhaoran saw them go out, he took his skirt and bypassed the screen, sat down beside Jiuru, and said delicately: "Does the Buddha know how to look at the face?"

Jiuru put down the pen, bent down slightly and lowered his eyes and said: "Born from the heart, the situation changes with the heart, and a person's fortune is not determined by nature." ”

Then look at the present phase. ”

Jiuru raised his head according to his words, and squeezed his eyes twice with his cheeks, Jiuru said in a clear but calm tone: "Your Excellency's death is imminent!"

Zhaoran was taken aback by him, the skin on his body was like a mother, not that death was imminent, but that he was dead, but that Jiuru this little Buddha really had some doorways, and he didn't dare to ask him to take a look, so he pretended to be angry and said: "You said I was short-lived?"

Jiuru said lightly: "The court opens for a moment, but it is just a few breaths, the lotus in front of the Buddha opens for a moment, but it takes a thousand years, and life is only between one opening and closing, and there is no such thing as length or shortness." ”

"Chaowen said, you can ...... to die at night," Zhao Ran scoffed, "If you want me to say that it is better to die than to live, eat and drink spicy food during the day, and sleep with a beautiful woman in your arms at night, so that you can run around the world with your legs in vain." ”

Without speculating for more than half a sentence, Jiuru leaned over slightly, then turned around and continued to copy the Buddhist scriptures.

Zhao Ran was willing to let him go, reached out and took Jiuru's hand and said with a smile: "Repay the peach, I have also learned a little about looks, so I will take a look at palmistry with you." ”

Jiuru's fingers are slender, and there will be words like "tea with flowers" in his mind, Zhaoran naturally doesn't look at any palmistry, touches Jiuru's hand in his hand, and scratches it with his fingers and asks maliciously: "It is the Buddha who copied the Buddhist scriptures, and who is holding hands with the woman in front of the Buddha?"

"Buddha. ”

"What is the difference between this Buddha and the layman?"

"The Buddha will not be sad because of a piece of skin. Jiuru's expression was flat.

"Oh yo!" Zhao Ran secretly bared his teeth in his heart, he hadn't seen this little Buddha for a few days, and he had grown again, "Come on a little fierce!"

He leaned towards Jiuru's body, picked up his skirt, stepped on a white leg on the case in front of Jiuru, and exhaled at the root of Jiuru's ear and asked, "Then the Buddha might as well comment on this pair of skins of the slave family?"

Sure enough, Jiu Ruoran was a little uncomfortable, and the roots of his ears seemed to be flushed, and he was very proud in his heart: "The old monster doesn't make a move, you compare it with me?!"

There was a sound of footsteps outside the house, and Zhao Ran had to quickly put his feet down, but he didn't have time to turn behind the screen, so when the people outside the door walked in, Zhao Ran was sitting close to Jiuru.

Li Mo was holding a bowl of food in his hand, followed by Wang Zeng.

"There is a sentence about the Buddha who is not very good, and I am asking the Buddha?"

Jiuru nodded slightly, in the end, it was a clear lie: "The princess asked, "All appearances are vain, if you see all the phases, you will see them as they come". ”

"What does the princess wonder?" asked Wang Zeng.

Zhao Ran spread his hands and said: "People live in things, if what they see, what they hate, and love are all in vain, isn't it like Zhuang Zhou Mengdie, busy working in vain, what's the point?"

Wang Zengjian's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and Li Mo seemed to be a little speechless.

Jiuru said: "In the world, what you see is not vain, if you cling to what you see, what you see is vain; what you get is not vain, if you cling to what you get, what you get is vain; what you hate is not vain, if you cling to what you hate, what you hate is vain; what you love is not vain, but if you cling to what you love, what you love will also become vain." Beauty is not vain, but if you cling to beauty and ugliness, your skin is vain. ”

After going around in a circle, in the end Jiuru still preached, Zhao Ran was a little speechless, he had to turn his head and say, "What did Master Li send?"

Li Mo, who was distracted, seemed to wake up in shock: "The princess wants to eat carp, it's late, it's winter, I'm afraid it won't be good for a while, for fear that the princess will be hungry, so Tan Ning took it upon himself to cook a bowl of noodles for the princess first." ”

How did Zhao Ran not know that the carp was difficult to find at the moment, but it was just to distract the people next to him, but he didn't expect to get Li Mo and Wang Zeng here.

"That's it, that's it. After all, Fang Cai Jiuru's face was red, and then the Zen foundation must have been shaken, and Zhao Ran felt that he was not in a hurry for the time being, and Mingjin withdrew his troops first.

Li Mo respectfully put the face in front of him, Zhao Ranfang lifted the chopsticks, and suddenly heard a faint bell ringing, he couldn't help but look up and said, "Where is the bell ringing?"

Demon Bell?

"It's the bell of my tower ringing!" Li Mo said with a shocked face, "Who rang the bell in the middle of the night?"

"Is there anyone on the tower?" Wang Zeng said.

"There is absolutely no one on the tower!" Li Mo hurriedly took out an iron key from the Buddha box on the offering case, "The entrance to the bell tower is in the Buddha hall. ”

"What a rampant monster!" Wang Zeng pressed his hand to the hilt of his sword.

Zhao Ran thought that this monster was stunned, or knew that there was a Buddha below, so he rang the Buddha bell first to show his provocation.

As soon as they finished speaking, they only heard the sound of "click, click" on the ridge of the roof, which was dense and made people's backs chill, and Li Mo said in a trembling voice: "It's coming!"

Pack...... Zhaoran thought to himself, no wonder Mrs. Li would eat only one skin.
