Qin Tangong was no stranger to this face, and bowed his head respectfully and said, "Fourth Master, I haven't seen you for a long time." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The four masters looked kind and said, "Yes." β
Duke Qin Tan pushed the little emperor who was stunned because of nervousness forward, and said in a low voice, "I've seen the four masters." β
The little emperor looked at the golden monk in front of him and muttered, "I've seen the four masters." β
The fourth master nodded at him and smiled, "Okay." β
Qin Tan said fairly: "Your Majesty will be eight years old during the New Year, can the four masters keep him?"
The four masters shook their heads and said, "No." "It's actually a master who cherishes words like gold and cultivates closed-mouth meditation.
Qin Tangong was obviously accustomed to his temperament and didn't care, so he pushed the little emperor again, leaned over and said, "What did Your Majesty say before he came?"
The little emperor swallowed his saliva and looked up at the four masters, and stammered: "If you want to learn how to govern the country, please ask the four masters for guidance." β
The fourth master reached out and stroked his head, and said, "Let's eat." He didn't say yes, just turned and went inside.
They didn't stop at night, they were really hungry at this time, Qin Tangong thanked him, took the little emperor's hand and followed in, and the guards also had to follow up, Qin Tangong shook his head: "The imperial temple is the safest place in the world." "I took the little emperor into the side hall.
The guards stood outside the door and looked in, and saw that this temple was as quiet as no man's land, and thought that it was indeed worthy of the four masters of the imperial temple.
There is a table in the side hall, Qin Tangong led the little emperor to follow up, the four masters have taken off the Buddha crown, put down the staff and sat down, there is a plate of dried beans, a plate of tofu, a plate of rice cakes, and three bowls of hot porridge on the table.
The little emperor has never eaten these things when he is so old, and he is a little curious and eager to try, and when he takes a bite, he almost vomits, and Qin Tangong here has calmly eaten half a bowl of porridge and several mouthfuls of dishes, and said: "It's been a long time since the last time I ate the rice of the four masters, and the taste has not changed, and I miss it very much." His expression was a little emotional and a little excited.
The little emperor didn't dare to say no, he bit the dried tofu little by little, and it seemed that he would eat until the meal was finished, but the four masters didn't care, and he finished his meal quietly, and then said, "Go back." β
Qin Tangong looked at him and said, "Fourth Master, Your Majesty is no longer small. β
The four masters looked at the little emperor who took the dried bean curd into his mouth and tried to pretend that he had finished eating, the little emperor's body was straight, his expression was nervous, and his cheeks were bulging.
Qin Tangong's eyes were displeased, and the four masters said kindly: "It's still small, it's still small, don't worry." Then he got up.
Qin Tangong shouted to the four masters, the four masters looked back at him, and for a moment, Qin Tangong saluted: "Yes." β
The fourth master nodded at him with a smile and said, "You can also teach him." β
When the first emperor came to study, Qin Tan Gong was accompanied, and the four masters also taught Qin Tan Gong, thinking of the old things, Qin Tan Gong's eyes were slightly wet, and he shouted the four masters, and the four masters smiled and turned around and walked in.
Qin Tangong didn't follow up any further, looked down at the little emperor standing on the side, and said, "The four masters' vegetarian food is delicious. β
The little emperor nodded and didn't dare to speak, chewing the dried bean curd slowly in his mouth.
Qin Tangong pointed to the porridge on the table and said, "Drink it." β
The little emperor's tears were about to fall, but he didn't dare to refute at all, sat back and drank one bite at a time.
......
When the daylight rose, the temple door creaked open, and the guards outside the door hurriedly greeted him, watching Qin Tangong lead the little emperor out.
"Grandpa, why don't you let you stay?" said one of the guards.
Qin Tangong smiled and said, "It's better than last time, this time let me have a meal." He looked down at the little emperor, "Since the four masters said that they are still young, then we will come back later, people can't be small all their lives, Your Majesty, you always have to learn from the four masters." β
If you study with these four masters, do you have to live together, and then eat this kind of vegetarian food every day? The little emperor's tears suddenly swirled in his eyes, and he couldn't help but grab Qin Tangong's sleeve and said, "Uncle... Qin Tangong, let's go back. β
Qin Tangong picked him up and put him on the horse, looked at the temple again, turned over and galloped on his horse, the guards followed closely behind, and gradually turned back to the temple in his sight.
......
The temple was still quiet until the sun was setting in the west, and a few villagers were collecting firewood, and one of them shouted, "Why is the door plaque of Xie Hui Temple gone?"
This is a big deal, the door plaque of a temple is the faΓ§ade, several villagers hurriedly ran into the temple, while shouting loudly the master, while running around, vaguely heard the shouts from the apse, heard the sound of finding the firewood room and couldn't help but be surprised, it turned out that more than 20 monks were tied and stacked in the firewood room, a few mouths stuffed with cloth are whining and struggling, and there are a lot of people who seem to be asleep, the worst is the abbot monk, who was stripped naked and stacked on top only in shorts.
With a click, a plaque fell with the struggle of the awakened monk, which was the door plaque of Xie Hui Temple.
The villagers were dumbfounded.
"Xie Hui Temple has been robbed!"
The shouts cut through the winter wilderness.
A bald old man in the wilderness was hurrying along, occasionally pausing to retch.
"Oni Susai... It's not a human being who can eat that kind of..."
It seemed that he thought of some tragic past again, and he retched more urgently, but his pace quickened, and he walked quickly and quickly with a grunt of hunger, and hunger.
The wind of the first month blew the bare hair cold, he reached out and patted the bald head, shook out a puff of hair from his sleeve and buckled it on his head, the hair was scattered like withered grass fluttering in the wind, the old man didn't care about swaying and walking with his hands, it seemed to be leisurely and slow, but standing in the distance and looking at it, he would find that the road seemed to become shorter under his feet, and he walked far away in the blink of an eye, and gradually disappeared into the wilderness in the blink of an eye.
....
Chang'an City has arrived at the Lantern Festival, after the Lantern Festival is lively, the atmosphere of the New Year Festival will disperse, large and small social schools have opened, the shops on this side of the Fuxue Palace are also busy, Xue Qing, who used to only sit alone in the grass hall, can feel the increasing noise outside.
Nuan Nuan ran close to open the door of the cottage and said, "Young master, young master, the people on the street said that the exam date is set." β
Xue Qing said: "When?"
Nuan Nuan said: "The tenth day of February." "Eighteen days to go.... So fast. β
Yes, Xue Qing took a deep breath, it was finally almost here, and he was about to take the second step towards the goal of life planning.
Nuan Nuan sat down and looked at her from side to side with her face in her hands, and said, "Is the young master nervous?"
Xue Qing nodded and said, "Nervous." β
Nuan Nuan chuckled: "The young master will also be nervous." β
Xue Qing said: "I'm also human..."
The voice fell and the voice outside the window was heard: "Isn't the immortal descending to earth at this time?"
Xue Qing hurriedly got up and looked over, and shouted Mr. Si Brown, Mr. Four Brown walked in from outside, Nuan Nuan was no stranger to this old man who sold books... always came to the door to beg for food, so he got up and said, "Grandpa, there is still a fresh fish." β
Mr. Si Brown was overjoyed and said, "It's so warm and warm with me... Forget it, you don't need to be hot, just eat it cold when the crispy fish is. β
Nuan Nuan ran out with a smile, Xue Qing said: "I thought Mr. was nervous, and he would come back after the exam." β
Mr. Si Brown said, "How can I miss such a fun thing." Laughing.
Xue Qing felt that he was laughing strangely, and Mr. Si Brown said again: "Don't be nervous, what are you nervous about..." β
After the Lantern Festival, the weather became warmer, and Mr. Qingxia, who walked into the prefect's yamen with a child, had a layer of sweat on his forehead.
