Chapter 620: The Dinner Party
Su asked a few people to squeeze in the tin house all night, and the weather at night was not too cold or unbearable. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
This is said by a couple of other people.
As for Su Wen, since the bell jar has reached the intermediate level, it really has a bit of a sense of cold and heat, even if it is colder and hotter, it will not be affected.
In the afternoon of the next day, Su Wen went to the palace in the car he had come.
The driver did not leave after sending Su Wen and a few people arrived, but stayed there and waited for instructions. Su Wen slept in a tin house all night, and he slept in the car all night. Speaking of which, sleeping in the car is much more comfortable than in a tin house, and the next day I saw him in good spirits.
When they arrived near the Imperial City, many vehicles began to give way or slow down when they saw the car.
When I arrived at the parking lot, most of the parking lot had already been parked, and there were still cars entering the parking lot.
Su Wen got out of the car and looked up at the sky, it was another evening. Then under the leadership of the driver, he went to the palace gate, and saw a woman in Hanfu waiting there from a distance, and approached to recognize Li Jiaxi.
"The master is here. The royal brother can't get out, so let me pick you up. Li Jiaxi greeted Su Wen and said with a smile.
"There is Princess Lao from afar. Su asked for a salute, and then walked inside while chatting with Li Jiaxi.
It's the first time I've seen Li Jiaxi's outfit next to me, and it's more charming than when I saw it before.
In the evening, Shiqiao, the pretty woman, is still a noble stomach, but it is a pity that he is waiting for a monk.
For a while, I don't know how many people had this thought in their heads.
But Su Wen's identity is there, and no one has other ideas.
"This time thanks to the master! As a human woman, I haven't thanked the master yet. The two walked side by side, Li Jiaxi turned his head to speak, his eyes bright.
"The princess should not mention this again. Su Wen shook his head. Banxiang said again: "I have to thank the princess for the matter of the Big Buddha Temple." ”
"It's a little thing. Even if you weren't there, that kind of fly camp and dog shelter must be cleared. After clearing it, such a big place can't be empty, right? Let others settle in, and maybe something will happen, but it is more reassuring for you to send someone there, Master. Li Jiaxi smiled, her face bright.
Su Wen chuckled.
The two walked inward, and the people who came down from the vehicle behind them all fell behind for some distance and did not dare to overtake. And the people in front of them began to increase.
Finally, in front of a large hall, I saw many people standing there chatting outside, and when I saw the two of them coming over, they saluted Li Jiaxi, and then looked at Su and asked.
"This is Master Suwen of the Pure Heart Temple, and my father's body is safe thanks to the master. Li Jiaxi introduced it to everyone.
Everyone had smiles on their faces and nodded towards Su Wen.
Entering the main hall, just like in the TV series, there are cases on both sides, and the emperor and queen sit on the top.
However, there are some changes, and the strips on both sides are 80 centimeters high, and there is a chair behind it.
At this time, many people were already seated and chatting with each other.
There are also people standing in the corner.
The second prince, Li Zongping, was here to talk and laugh with people, and after seeing Su Wen from afar, he hurriedly hurried over in three or two steps: "Master, I can't welcome you from afar, I hope don't be surprised." ”
Su asked Heten: "The second prince's words are serious. Don't bother with the poor monks, just have a place to sit. ”
The second prince said with a smile: "I don't know how many people in this imperial capital want to know the Buddhist monks, but they have never had the opportunity. Now that I have met the master, how can I let it go so easily? Not to mention that the master rarely goes down the mountain once, and he should talk to others. ”
After the second prince finished speaking, several people around him echoed and greeted Su Wen.
"The second prince thanked the poor monk for his kindness. Su Wen said with a smile.
Although Su Wen didn't like this kind of occasion, he still talked to everyone.
However, the center of the crowd is still the second prince.
Just looking at the smiles on these people's faces, Su Wen never got interested.
After a few moments, he took his leave.
Seeing this, the second prince personally led Su Wen to his seat, which was the first position on his right hand.
In the past, it was the prince's seat, but at this time, Su Wen was arranged to sit here, which shows the honor.
The people on the left and opposite sides all gestured from afar, but only they knew what they were thinking in their hearts.
The noisy hall suddenly became a little quieter, and Su Wen raised his eyes to see two Taoists coming in through the door.
One is Zhang Shidao, dressed in a Taoist robe, with a breeze on the sleeves, as handsome as ever.
There was another one in front of him, I couldn't tell how old he was, his beard was black, his skin was ruddy, it looked like he should be around fifty, but he gave people a feeling that was far from that.
Some people believe in forty or fifty, and some believe in sixty or seventy.
This person walks like a breeze, and his sleeves are bulging. The aura on his body is also extremely ethereal, and he knows at a glance that he must be a master.
When this man entered the main hall, many people signaled, and a few others stood up to greet him.
The rest of the people looked at him, and then at Su Wen, with playful expressions.
The Taoist priest said a few words to the few people who greeted him, and then took Zhang Shidao to sit down at the end.
During the period, he glanced at Su Wen and nodded slightly, which was a gesture.
Zhang Shidao also signaled from afar.
Seeing this, Su Wen is also far away.
With the arrival of this person, everyone estimated that the time was almost up, and they all looked for a place to sit.
Among them, the second prince was in a position away from Su Wen, and Li Jiaxi was beside him, and Su Wen suddenly guessed who was next to him.
And in an empty seat opposite, it wasn't long before an old man sat down, and he had also seen it, that night.
"It turns out that this person is Shousuke. Su Wen thought to himself.
If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would have recognized it a long time ago. It's just that Su Wen usually doesn't pay attention to it, and he doesn't remember it when he occasionally looks at it on TV, so he doesn't recognize it.
But then again, it's true that this Shousuke rarely shows up, and there are very few images about him.
As the crown prince came to sit down beside Su Wen, the emperor and empress finally arrived.
There was no eunuch to open the way, but a woman came in first and stood next to her, and everyone knew that the emperor had arrived.
The emperor's complexion at this time was a little better than in the morning, and like the queen, he had a wide robe and large sleeves, and his clothes were extremely gorgeous, accompanied by dragons and phoenixes.
I don't know how they asked when they went to court, but the guess is not like that.
Tonight was supposed to be a somewhat private dinner, so everyone was dressed in civilian clothes, even the two above.
"Greetings, Congratulations, Your Majesty!" everyone stood up and saluted with their fists.
Nowadays, times have changed, and the manners of the past have also changed, and they are very different.
"Sit down. "As the words fell, a waitress began to bring the dishes like flowing water.
Two people share a table with four dishes, one soup, and two plates of fruit.
There were seventy or eighty people in this game, and there were about forty tables of such dishes, which is really a lot.
"These days, I am not feeling well, and the ghost door has been closed for a while, and you are also working hard. Therefore, this dinner is set up to thank you. "The Emperor first raised the cup.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty on your health and good health, and I wish Your Majesty a long and blessed life. Everyone raised their glasses, and they didn't know which one spoke first, but everyone followed.
The Emperor laughed and then drank it down. After seeing that everyone had finished drinking, he said, "Don't talk about this nonsense in the future." Throughout the ages, how many people have lived long in this position? This time, I was just a little bit worse, and thanks to the help of Master Su Wen, I was able to save my life. ”
"Your Majesty is serious. Su Wen stood up and folded his feet.
"Sit down, mage, I know what to expect. The Emperor laughed.
"This second cup is to celebrate my escape from death, and you will drink with me. The Emperor said again.
The crowd drank it all again.
I don't know what the alcohol everyone drinks is, but it's not too high. What he drank was water, and he thought he had explained it in advance.
"This third cup is for you. Over the years, you have been able to build this country into this way with your help, and you have contributed a lot. Therefore this third cup is for you to drink. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" everyone stood up in unison.
After drinking three cups, the queen persuaded on the side: "Your Majesty drink less, and now your body is just right." ”
"I know. Take these three cups as a limit, and then you can drink for yourself. The Emperor laughed.
As the emperor's words fell, everyone below also began to drink to themselves and whispered to each other.
After a short time, the Emperor said to the crowd and stood back.
This appearance made everyone know more or less about his physical condition, and the emperor's goal was achieved.
In the final analysis, it is to stabilize people's hearts.
No matter how strong the rumors are, only by seeing the emperor can everyone's hearts be put down.
All small movements also stopped.
Su Wen didn't understand what was going on, but everyone else did.
After the emperor left, everyone also relaxed, and many people stepped forward to say a few words to Su Wen to express their goodwill.
I ate a lot of vegetarian dishes in one meal, drank more water, and my stomach was full.
When the people began to disperse, Su Wen said hello to the second prince and princess and left first.
When I got outside, I saw the old Taoist priest standing there with his back to him.
The light shines shadows far away.
Su Wen walked up to him and stood side by side with him.
From this vantage point, you can only see the wall in the distance, and nothing else.
"This is a place of right and wrong, come in, and you can't get out. The old man said suddenly.
"I remember seeing a saying that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and I think this is a very good saying. In that case, where is the place of peace? If you stay at home honestly, maybe someone will come to your door. In the final analysis, poor monks are also a place where they can meditate and practice together. If you fight, you may be able to settle down, but if you don't fight, the trouble will be endless. ”
Su Wen's voice fluttered, and it didn't go far in the night before it dissipated.
Someone in the distance saw the two people standing together, and they didn't come to disturb them.
The old man was silent for a while, and then he stopped talking, and with a slight movement under his feet, the whole person moved out, as if he was floating out, and he was not strong at all.
Su Wen stood there for a long time, waiting for Lao Dao's figure to disappear into the distance, and also heard the sound of approaching footsteps behind him, before walking slowly.
