Squeak!

Yao Miaoyi pushed open the door of the meditation room and entered the house with the food box, and the wind and snow took the opportunity to wrap up, and then was ruthlessly separated by the door panel, only kissing the cold door knocker.

Zen Master Daoyan was meditating and chanting, and his eyebrows didn't move. Yao Miaoyi opened the food box and first brought out a bowl of boiled glutinous white porridge.

Zen Master Daoyan smelled the porridge, closed his eyes and shook his head, "Take it down, I don't want to eat." ”

Yao Miaoyi said with a smile: "You don't want to meet guests, so you pushed the visitors to your brother-in-law to entertain." I don't want to eat now, is this about to become an immortal? ”

Zen Master Daoyan said that the Goryeo Kingdom recognized the rule of the Zhu Ming Dynasty, submitted the credentials of the ministers, and persuaded the Northern Yuan Wenchen generals in the northeast to surrender collectively and submit to the Ming Dynasty.

After making such a great achievement, Zen Master Daoyan suddenly became a hot figure inside and outside the court, and every day visitors were like carp crossing the river, and the threshold was about to be flattened.

It's just that after Zen Master Daoyan reported from the palace and came back from receiving the reward, he couldn't go out of retreat, and no one was seen, and all the social interactions were pushed to his adopted son Yao Jitong.

"Nonsense, I'm a monk, it's almost like becoming a Buddha, and a Taoist priest can become an immortal." Zen Master Daoyan finally opened his eyes, his eyes were very bright, and his face was well-defined, like a King Kong tiger, with a kind of momentum that was not angry and self-threatening.

Yao Miaoyi took out an oil dish from the food box, "The freshly boiled spicy tempeh sauce is made of black tempeh brewed in the palace's imperial dining room, do you want to try it?" ”

Zen Master Daoyan is a vegetarian, and Yao Miaoyi specially boiled vegetarian hot sauce.

The spicy flavor accompanied by the salty aroma of tempeh came to his nose, and Zen Master Daoyan suddenly became full of words, he casually wrapped the Buddha beads around his wrist and said, "Then let's have a bowl." ”

As a result, I drank two bowls of white porridge with this spicy tempeh sauce.

Knowing that her father-in-law couldn't resist the temptation of hot sauce, Yao Miaoyi grinned, put the empty porridge bowl into the food box, and made fragrant tea to serve.

Zen Master Daoyan's spicy bald head was sweating, and he was full of Tai, holding the fragrant tea and drinking, "Nothing to do, let's talk, what do you ask me to do?" ”

Yao Miaoyi was poked in the heart, and said with a smile: "How can it be, I just see that you have been in retreat since you came back, and you seem to be depressed and lose your appetite, I just want to do my filial piety and share your worries." ”

Reasoning, Daoyan Zen Master has made great contributions, and has been recognized and rewarded by Emperor Hongwu, and his reputation is famous, he should be proud of the spring breeze, why is the cat closed in the house?

Yao Miaoyi was very curious about this, and Zen Master Daoyan had obviously learned from Emperor Hongwu that she might be the eldest daughter of Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, who had disappeared, but he never mentioned it.

Yao Miaoyi wanted to know what Zen Master Daoyan was thinking, would he feel that he was pretending to have amnesia? Would he be worried that he would betray Mingjiao? Will you be suspicious of her past moves?

But Zen Master Daoyan didn't say a word, as if nothing had happened, Yao Miaoyi was a little uncomfortable, and wanted to ask what was going on.

She personally boiled white porridge and spicy tempeh sauce: After eating my meal, you have to open your mouth to say something! The so-called cannibalistic mouth is short, and the hands of people are soft.

Zen Master Daoyan saw through Yao Miaoyi's thoughts at a glance, and said with a smile: "Share worries? What worries me, you see? ”

Yao Miaoyi smiled and said, "What worries my father-in-law, I know that." ”

The old fox Daoyan said: "You don't know what worries I have, how can I share them? ”

The little fox Yao Miaoyi said: "Tell me, maybe I can help you share your worries." ”

The old fox Daoyan asked, "You are a smart man, in your opinion, what worries me?" Do you have to keep your door closed? ”

The little fox Yao Miaoyi was so helpless that she had to take a step back and said, "Why don't I write it down with my father-in-law and see if I think of a piece." ”

Anyway, Yao Miaoyi was determined to pry something out of Zen Master Daoyan's mouth.

The old fox and the little fox took a pen and paper and wrote down a few words, exchanged glances, and were happy: they wrote four identical words "Fagu Jianbang".

Zen Master Daoyan stroked his palms and smiled: "I've raised you for ten years, and I'm really mature, and I have the same heart - tell me, what does this Fagu Jianbang have to do with me?" ”

Yao Miaoyi said: "Fagu Jianbang was proved inappropriate a thousand years ago, I look at the history books, the rebellion of the Seven Kings of the Western Han Dynasty, 300,000 troops fought in the Central Plains, the national strength declined, and the people were not able to make a living. The border Xiongnu took the opportunity to invade, and the dignified Han Empire had to send its own princess to make peace, which is a shame! ”

"But the emperor's determination to emulate the Zhou dynasty and give the vassal king fiefs and armies is a foregone conclusion, and there will be no change in the short term. The civil and military ministers in the court bureau, who supported the emperor's ancient establishment of the state, were known as the courtiers who slipped their beards and patted horses; Those who oppose the establishment of the state by Fagu are disgusted by the emperor; Those who do not support or oppose are ridiculed for being duplicitous to ride the wall, and both sides are angry. In short, it is wrong to stand on which team you are on now, just retreat, avoid the limelight, and wait for it to calm down. ”

Shibei three days should be impressed. Zen Master Daoyan looked at the righteous daughter with satisfaction, "You can see it through." ”

Yao Miaoyi said with a smile: "In the past few days, the righteous brother has received visitors in the study, I eavesdropped behind the screen, the visitors are from the three factions, and they all want to pull the righteous father into their camp, thanks to the righteous brother's patience to deal with them, all of them go out with smiling faces, and they are not offended." ”

Zen Master Daoyan sighed, "Fortunately, I am a monk, and I can find an excuse to practice closed-mouth meditation retreat, otherwise it will be difficult to get out of it." ”

This bald monk is slippery like a loach. Yao Miaoyi said with a smile: "When does my father-in-law plan to finish practicing the Silent Meditation?" ”

Zen Master Daoyan said, "At least it's over the New Year." Miaoyi, this time the limelight has passed, and I have been thinking about how to rescue the Bright Elder Fox Trail these days. ”

The matter of Elder Guangming Fox Trail being imprisoned in the prison of Jiming Mountain was told to Mingjiao by Yao Miaoyi.

Yao Miaoyi asked, "What about the assassination of Guo Yangtian?" ”

Zen Master Daoyan said: "The rice must be eaten bite by bite, the people who save the Ming Sect are important, the traitor must be eliminated, and I have already thought of a way - Miaoyi, what do you think of using the hand of Wei Guogong to get rid of Guo Yangtian?" ”

"Huh?" Yao Miaoyi was a little stunned, thought for a while, and said: "Do you mean that you want me to pretend to restore my childhood memories and identify Guo Yangtian as one of the murderers who assassinated Mrs. Xu back then. ”

"You're half right." Zen Master Daoyan said: "Don't pretend to restore your memory. In fact, as long as Guo Yangtian is provoked to do something to you, whether it is the Duke of Wei, the fourth prince, the fifth prince, or the queen of Ma, or even the princess of Qingyang, the Chang family of Kaiping Wangfu will attack Guo Yangtian in groups. Miaoyi, you are now invaluable in their hearts, and it is easy for them to deal with just one Guo Yangtian. ”

Zen Master Daoyan is worthy of being the wise elder of the Ming Sect, and he woke up Yao Miaoyi with a word, "That's right, I said to Guo Yangtian, I am a faint crow of the Ming Sect, and I was ordered to get rid of you as a traitor." Guo Yangtian will definitely resist, and when the time comes, ......"

Zen Master Daoyan nodded and said, "The son can be taught." Anyway, the four princes have already asked you to pretend to be a member of the Ming Sect to stabilize the Yong'an County Lord who is waiting to give birth in Xiaozhu in the middle of the lake. So it doesn't matter if Guo Yangtian shouts out, you are originally a Mingjiao person who is pretending to be a Mingjiao, and they will not be suspicious. ”

The last sentence is like a tongue twister, Yao Miaoyi's complex identity as a quadruple spy can indeed come in handy!

Yao Miaoyi said: "Guo Yangtian's crime is extremely evil, and the faint crow is willing to risk his life and put him to death. "Her code name in Mingjiao is the faint crow, and at this time she does not regard herself as a righteous daughter, but as a subordinate of the wise elder Dao Yan.

Zen Master Daoyan changed the topic and asked, "You really don't remember what happened in your childhood?" ”

Yao Miaoyi's face was not shocked, "Elder, if the crow remembers, he would have gone to the Zhan Garden of the Duke of Wei to confess his relatives a long time ago, so why should he be a grass medicine girl in the market." What's more, now that I have joined the Mingjiao, once I enter the wealthy family, countless pairs of eyes are staring all day long, how can the crow work for the Mingjiao? How can we repay the elders for years of cultivation? ”

Zen Master Daoyan stared at her tightly, his eyes were like torches, as if he saw her heart, and at the end, he said: "In the half a year that King Xiao Ming and I have been away, you have done a good job, and the teaching affairs are well organized, and I am very pleased." ”

Yao Miaoyi said: "It is the elders who teach well. ”

Zen Master Daoyan said: "When you fainted at the gate of the temple, your clothes were tattered, your hands and feet were frostbitten, and there were no tokens around you. ”

Yao Miaoyi said: "Father-in-law, don't blame yourself, this is all fate, and I'm fine now." ”

Zen Master Daoyan said: "Wei Guogong has been posting for three consecutive days asking to see, will I see it or not?" ”

Yao Miaoyi said with a smile: "You are practicing closed-mouth meditation, do you use gestures like a monkey when you meet, you are willing, Wei Guogong and other big people are not willing." ”

Zen Master Daoyan thinks about it, if you want to avoid the limelight of Fagu Jianbang, you must practice closed-mouth meditation and wait for the New Year.

Zen Master Daoyan said: "You go and see if Yao Jitong has sent off the guest, bring him here, and we will discuss the assassination of Guo Yangtian, as well as the plan to rescue the Elder Guangming in the Jiming Mountain Heavenly Prison." ”

"Yes."

Yao Miaoyi first carried the empty food box to the kitchen to wash the dishes, it was already dark, Song Xiuer was boiling rose sauce, she pulled Yao Miaoyi and snickered: "Miss, let me do this rough work - guess who came to Yao Jitong just now?" ”

Yao Miaoyi said: "Didn't you say don't call me Miss in the future?" Call Sister Yao, Boss Yao, and Doctor Yao, you are already a good person,

Not a slave. ”

Captain Song sacrificed himself to save Yao Miaoyi, and Yao Miaoyi never treated her benefactor's daughter as a slave.

"My name is Shunkou." Song Xiu'er smiled, her face flushed from the fire, "From next year, the new year has a new atmosphere - just now the matchmaker came to the door and said goodbye to Yao Jitong." ”

Yao Miaoyi was speechless: "It's only been three days since I came back, and a matchmaker came?" Didn't matchmakers come to Zhu Wulang to talk to matchmakers before? ”

At the mention of Zhu Hu, Song Xiu'er immediately raised her eyebrows, "Hmph, who doesn't know that Zhu Wulang and Miss Wang from the spice shop are getting along?" Miss Wang is more beautiful than a fox spirit, and she compares the girls in our neighborhood to the mud, who can't compete with her for Zhu Wulang? Everyone is broken, and they are looking for another good match. ”

"I heard that Yao Jitong is the righteous son of Zen Master Daoyan, and the matchmakers saw that he was a talent, no worse than Zhu Wulang, so they moved their minds and took the initiative to protect the matchmaker to marry him a daughter-in-law, and wanted to earn a sum of money to thank the matchmaker."

King Xiaoming's wife is not a good marriage. Yao Miaoyi walked to the study, and saw the flattering laughter of the matchmaker from a distance: "Yao Gongzi, I am the official media who pays taxes and silver, and I specialize in protecting the media for the big families of the high family, that is, I have entered the door of the house of the first-class master, and I know a lot of young women." Although you have no fame for the time being, it is better to have a good godfather, and I will be able to tell you an official lady to be your daughter-in-law. ”

Yao Jitong didn't have a smile on his face at all, "I'm bothered by the matchmaker, I have a wife, and I have to be thirty years old to marry a wife." ”

The matchmaker shook the handkerchief and smiled: "Yo, it's the excuse of the wife again, last time your Dr. Zhu Wulang of Baihetang also said that he was a wife, but as a result, I heard that it was the right eye with the living Guanyin of the spice shop." You are young, thin-skinned, and embarrassed to talk about family affairs, so call your father-in-law out, and I will talk to him. ”

The girl Wang of the spice shop, whose name is Wang Yinnu, is said to be frail and sick when she was a child, and she was a registered disciple in the temple, so her nickname is Guanyinnu. Now that he is older, he is beautiful and has a dusty temperament, which is more beautiful than the Guanyin of the Buddhist hall, so the neighbors have taken a nickname, called Living Guanyin.

Yao Jitong's face darkened, "My father-in-law is a monk. ”

The matchmaker disagreed, "You married, not him." ”

Yao Jitong: "My father-in-law practiced closed-mouth meditation and didn't see anyone. Matchmaker, please go back, the road is slippery when it's dark, be careful on the road. ”

The matchmaker was dumbfounded, and saw that Yao Jitong's stubborn stone was really not easy to gnaw, so she withdrew.

Yao Jitong sent off the last group of guests, his throat was smoking, and he drank the fat sea to moisten his throat. Yao Miaoyi knocked on the door of the study, "Brother Yi, my father is talking to us." ”

Yao Jitong walked out of the study and said embarrassedly: "The matchmaker just now made you see a joke." ”

Yao Miaoyi said with a smile: "How to deal with a matchmaker, you can ask Zhu Wulang, he is the most experienced." ”

Yao Jitong glanced at Yao Miaoyi deeply, "The matchmaker never looks for you?" ”

Yao Miaoyi said: "I have a very fierce reputation, and everyone in the streets and alleys knows that Boss Yao of Baihetang is a shrew, and there is a great backer behind him, no one dares to provoke or marry." ”
