Chapter 233. Mystic dervish

Since Chen Xuanting and Qiao Huiru's mother and son recognized each other, the relationship between the two has gradually warmed up, at least for Chen Xuanting, she has recognized her as his mother. At this time, the two will inevitably have some meaning of a real reunion between mother and son.

After a long time, Qiao Huiru let go of Chen Xuanting, and when she looked over, she was already in tears.

Chen Xuanting smiled dumbly, stretched out his hand, gently wiped the tears from the corners of his mother's eyes, and said softly: "Mom, don't cry, you will have wrinkles." ”

Qiao Huiru looked at her son with tears in her eyes, and let her son wipe the tears from her face like a child, but when she suddenly heard Chen Xuanting's words, she couldn't help but laugh: "It's almost fifty, what's the matter, doesn't my mother's face have wrinkles?" ”

Chen Xuanting smiled: "In my eyes, you are the most beautiful woman in the world." ”

Qiao Huiru smiled and shook her head: "You kid, you have learned to coax women!" ”

Chen Xuanting and Qiao Huiru stood side by side, looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside the glass curtain, and the ant-like traffic under her feet, Qiao Huiru said lightly: "Standing too high, it will be easy to give people the illusion, from here, do you have a feeling that the busy beings are as small as ants." ”

Chen Xuanting nodded slightly, and Qiao Huiru sighed lightly: "What if no one patronizes this hotel?" The operator will be in a hurry to jump down, the water carries the boat and capsizes, and the shopping mall is the same, so for the high-ranking people, they need to remember their own duty and their own foundation. ”

Speaking of this, she smiled: "How can you not understand this truth?" It's because I've stood on a high place for too long, and I feel like I'm angry, don't be embarrassed. ”

Chen Xuanting smiled and did not speak.

"Okay, let's have a drink with my mother." Qiao Huiru pulled up the black gauze shawl and walked to the sofa, where a bottle of red wine had already been placed on the delicate black wood openwork coffee table.

After a few glasses of wine, the two chatted warmly.

"Hey, when to give my mother a grandson, I'm going crazy." Qiao Huiru sat on the sofa and looked at Chen Xuanting with a smile.

Chen Xuanting poured her a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Then you have to wait, you know, none of the women around me are simple." I'm thinking about the main room! ”

Qiao Huiru smiled: "What are you afraid of?" That successful man doesn't have three wives and four concubines? In my opinion, as long as you find a more atmospheric one that can be put out of the table, you can do it! ”

Chen Xuanting: "But I don't know which one you fell in love with, Mom?" ”

Qiao Huiru took a sip of wine. smiled: "Li Jiaxin is still good, first, he is the first girlfriend you publicly admitted, and second, compared to other women, her family background is the best, and her education is also good, it can be said that there is no shortage of beauty and wisdom." ”

Chen Xuanting: "Did she say something good in front of you and let you speak for her like this?" ”

Qiao Huiru: "Can you use it?" According to your mother and my eyes, is it still wrong to look at people? ”

Seeing that Chen Xuanting smiled and stopped talking, Qiao Huiru smiled slightly, changed the topic, took out a stack of thick materials from under the coffee table, and said, "This is the information of Shangri-La Hotel, you can take a look." ”

Chen Xuanting flipped through the information with his hand. I took a look at the general situation of the hotel. Shangri-La Hotel is a five-star hotel with 4,033 rooms, with prices ranging from US$100 to more than US$100. Its 300,000-square-meter venue facilities include a Garden Ballroom that can accommodate 8,500 people and 30 other fully functional meeting rooms that can accommodate meetings from 28 to 350 people. The hotel also features a 15,000-seat multi-purpose theatre and two theatres. Recreational facilities include an outdoor swimming pool, health club, tennis courts, sauna, golf and more, as well as an ultra-luxurious underground casino.

Scroll down, it is the personnel information of the hotel, the general manager, and the heads of various departments. Qiao Huiru smiled: "How about it, see which one is incompetent, replace him, I invested in and bought this hotel, but everything still has to be up to you, the big boss." ”

Chen Xuanting smiled slightly, he didn't want to make trouble for this trip, his own affairs were enough. So I sent the information to my mother's arms. said: "Don't set me up, since you came to Yuben, then you have full control over everything, or you can be sorry for the position of the CEO of the Thunder Group." ”

Qiao Huiru smiled: "Then you have to hurry up and find an agent." Be careful that I fill my pockets, hey, how about finding a little lover to take care of? Chen Xuanting looked at Qiao Huiru helplessly, Qiao Huiru smiled coquettishly, she knew that her son was amorous, and the women around her must have other women besides Li Jiaxin, Qiu Shuzhen, and Li Ruotong.

might as well be a correct guess in this sentence, Chen Xuanting is now having a headache about Li Xueman and Zhilin. He and Li Xueman, the little girl, are already husband and wife, but she is too young. And the inexplicable relationship between himself and Guan Zhilin made him a little headache. But Guan Zhilin has been married before, and her reputation in the entertainment industry doesn't seem to be very good, Chen Xuanting can't officially date her, being a lover, but there are still some gimmicks. Besides, Guan Zhilin is also very good at taking care of business, and in her previous life, she was a famous female building king in the entertainment industry.

If she is asked to come to Yuben to help Qiao Huiru take care of some business here, I don't know if she will be happy or not. Chen Xuanting thought to himself. But immediately he shook his head, this was wishful thinking, people teased him a little, and he really thought that people liked him. Forget it, it's better to get less love debts.

came back to his senses, Chen Xuanting talked to Qiao Huiru again about other things, especially when he told her about his preparations to start filming "Skin Love" and "Hot Blood College".

Qiao Huiru is very interested in the film industry, because she knows that this is the origin of her son's development, so she asks what difficulties there are. Chen Xuanting said that the director has been searched, and funding is not a problem, but there is no good decision in terms of actors.

Let's not talk about the male protagonist of the play "Hot Blood College", and it is difficult to find the heroine of the play "Skin Love".

How easy is it to find a girl who is innocent on the surface and full of demonic feelings on the inside?!

Chen Xuanting expressed his worries, and Qiao Huiru smiled, "The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, don't worry too much." ”

Chen Xuanting smiled: "I hope so!" ”

Qiao Huiru said again: "I can't give you any good advice for actresses, as for the actor, you can try to choose some good TV actors, such as Takuya Kimura, who is very popular now!" ”

"Takuya Kimura?" Chen Xuanting was stunned for a moment, but immediately stroked his palms and smiled, "Yes, it's a good suggestion, let him play the male protagonist in "Hot Blood High School", as for that Moduoxiong, let Yosuke Eguchi starre!" ”

Qiao Huiru didn't expect Chen Xuanting's reaction to be so big, and said with a smile: "Look at you, look at it, this doesn't solve the role problem of one play, as for another play, you can meet it slowly!" ”

Time passed slowly, the mother and son chatted warmly, and the topic returned to the hotel. In the middle, Qiao Huiru clicked on the large-screen TV and played a short film about the Shangri-La Hotel for Chen Xuanting. When Chen Xuanting first came, he was only shocked by this behemoth, but he didn't have time to carefully observe the entire hotel structure, and then watched this short film, he couldn't help but be even more staggered. The hotel is a one-of-a-kind hotel with four main buildings in a style of emerald green glass, each with Hollywood, South American, Casablanca and Desert Oasis themes. In particular, the bathrooms are made of Italian marble.

At the entrance of the hotel stands a huge golden lion surrounded by a fountain, and the hotel is just like the majestic master standing in front of the door, proud of the crowd, dominant, following the changing camera lens into the door, you will see the marble from Italy set off a variety of strange decorations, dazzling, extremely luxurious. It retains the ruggedness and warmth of Westerners, as well as the perfection of the person, and then the meeting rooms, swimming pools, various entertainment facilities and so on.

However, after Chen Xuanting watched this short film, he was even more dizzy, if he was allowed to re-enter the hotel from the lobby now, without looking at the hotel's tour guide icon, he still didn't know where the entertainment facilities were located.

After playing the short video, Qiao Huiru looked at her watch and said with a smile: "Mom is going to cook for you, you wait!" ”

Chen Xuanting paused for a moment, and then nodded silently.

Dinner was just a simple white porridge, a plate of egg scrambled sauce, and a plate of dry-roasted oysters, but Chen Xuanting ate it with relish, Qiao Huiru didn't eat much, just watched Chen Xuanting gobble it lovingly.

Chen Xuanting took a bite of eggs and said with a smile: "Mom, you are really good at tinkering, you are really tyrannical, scrambled eggs with caviar?" There are also delicious oysters for pickles, alas. He shook his head.

Qiao Huiru said softly: "The soybean paste here doesn't have the taste of home, in fact, I want to scramble you with a plate of authentic egg scrambled sauce the most." ”

Chen Xuanting sighed, pursed his mouth, lowered his head and ate again, but his throat was a little bitter

The luxurious elongated Lincoln drove on the avenue of Osaka, and Chen Xuanting looked out and enjoyed the night view of this ancient metropolis. Both sides of the avenue are filled with ancient buildings of the traditional tradition, skyscrapers, temple buildings, and other majestic models. Behind these buildings stand the beautiful and luxurious casino hotel, and under the night lights, each building is intricately carved to show the extraordinary prosperity of this metropolis.

Chen Xuanting looked at Wen Wen sitting quietly opposite him, and couldn't help but shake his head, after dinner, his mother proposed that he must live the nightlife of Osaka by himself, saying that if he came to Osaka without visiting Osaka once, it was equivalent to not having a cultural trip to baptism.

Chen Xuanting said that it was okay to play in his hotel, but Qiao Huiru glared and said, how is it the same? And I want Chen Xuanting to rest assured, there will be no mistakes, how can Chen Xuanting not be at ease when he is by his mother's side, he just doesn't like to join in the fun. Go to a luxurious and lively entertainment venue. I'd rather write the script quietly in my room.

But Chen Xuanting couldn't screw his mother, so he had to get into the car obediently, and he also knew that his mother was kind, and he tensed his nerves all day long in Hong Kong, working like a work machine, and his mother wanted to take a complete rest by herself.

"Mr. Chen, this is tonight's itinerary, can you see if there is anything that needs to be modified?" Koji Yano, who sat next to Chen, spoke not very fluent Chinese.

Chen Xuanting touched his nose, he really didn't know why his mother would ask Yano-kun to be her tour guide, could it be that she thought she was going to those entertainment venues, so she transferred a man over so as not to be embarrassed?

Chen Xuanting guessed very correctly. Qiao Huiru knew that it was a paradise for many men. All tourists who come to Yueben from Hong Kong and Taiwan, there is no one who does not go to Yueben Huan, and this is also the biggest characteristic tourism in Yueben tourism.

As everyone knows, it is said that this is a country with a very strong culture, and it has never been ashamed of the chaotic relationship between men and women, and even the phenomenon of men and women bathing here is very general. Many times, when I was very old, my father even took his charming daughter to strip naked and take a hot spring.

Chen Xuanting took the itinerary from Yano Hao's second-hand hand, glanced at it casually, and nodded slightly.

Yano Koji looked at Chen Xuanting's expression very alertly, and said: "Mr. Chen, the first stop is the most famous resort in Osaka, I arranged for Mr. Chen for half an hour of indoor surfing, a game of indoor golf, VIP small gambling, and finally snooker leisure and massage." ”

Chen Xuanting frowned slightly and said, "I don't like it either, and I don't know how to play." ”

Yano Koji hurriedly bowed and apologized, as if he had done something wrong: "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, then I'll rearrange it for you, this is the entertainment of their resort club, you can take a look." As he spoke, he handed Chen Xuanting a few pages of plastic colored paper.

Chen Xuanting waved his hand, thinking that he didn't have anything to like about these entertainment projects, and after a little pondering, he said, "Are there any temples around here?" ”

"The famous Shitennoji Templeβ€”"

"Then let's take a look."

Yano Koji was stunned for a moment, and immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you prepare it right away!" ”

Time is running out.

Chen Xuanting, Yano Koji, and Yagyu Piaoxue took a transfer to the most famous Shitennoji Temple in Osaka.

According to the Chronicle of the Shobun, before the war between Prince Shotoku, who believed in Buddhism, and the anti-Buddhist Monobe Moriya faction, Prince Shotoku, who was in an unfavorable situation, made a wish to the statue of the Four Heavenly Kings of Hojin that after defeating the Monobe faction, he would build a temple for the Four Heavenly Kings. In 593 AD, the victorious Prince Shotoku founded Shitennoji Temple in Osaka, which was a representative temple building of the Asuka period.

The incense of Shitennoji Temple is extremely prosperous, and there are many believers. The temple is surrounded by a Tennoji Park, with sparse flowers and trees and green grass; There are also extensive pools, a zoo, and the Osaka Museum of Art is also located in the park.

Chen Xuanting watched all the way, and couldn't help but be surprised by the preservation of the ancient culture of the temple, there are almost no modern buildings around the temple, and you seem to have returned to the ancient times of the temple. Unlike China, which only pursues economic development, many ancient buildings have been destroyed and destroyed under the leadership of this economy.

Chinese do not know that what they get is only some short-term economic benefits, but what they destroy is the precipitation of the culture of an era!

Walking and walking, Chen Xuanting walked into a temple without paying attention. At this time, a little novice-looking monk stopped him and said in a Chinese language: "I'm sorry, donor, outsiders are not allowed to enter here." ”

Chen Xuanting was stunned for a moment, and Yano Koji next to him hurriedly grabbed it and said to the little monk in Chinese: "This is our honored guest, can we be accommodating?" ”

The little monk was very stubborn and said, "I'm sorry, there is a ban here. ”

Chen Xuanting had roughly understood what was going on at this time, and looked at the wall of the temple where a sign was posted with words like "forbidden" written in traditional Chinese characters.

Chen Xuanting said to Yano Koji: "Since this is someone's rule, let's not bother." ”

Yano Koji sighed a little apprehensively. He acted as Chen Xuanting's personal tour guide this time, and the biggest thing was to make Chen Xuanting have fun, and he didn't expect to be frustrated here.

Chen Xuanting didn't care, and said very politely to the little monk in Chinese: "Sorry for the interruption!" With that, he turned and left.

Suddenly, a voice said, "Donor, please walk slowly." ”

Following the words, Chen Xuanting looked up and looked back, but saw a monk standing on his chest with a smile on his face, and a string of prayer beads hanging from the tiger's mouth, standing behind Chen Xuanting. With a hat in his hand, he looks like the kind of "dervishes" who abides by the requirements of Buddhist practice.

In this book, the monk is a very respected profession and is considered a symbol of wisdom and erudition. If you were to imagine the life of a monk, many people would describe it as pure-hearted, lacking desire, and plain. However, the real life of the monks is far from what they imagined: some monks married wives and had children, some nuns became TV hosts, and some started businesses. It seems that it is not an exaggeration to describe the life of the monks in this book as colorful.

But among these monks, only this kind of "dervishes" is more rigorous, and they usually do not go to the donor's house to plead for alms, but choose the bustling station, square and other places, put on a hat and put on a monk's robe, stand upright, and then stop making a sound. Seeing such monks from time to time, people give alms, and every time they receive alms, the dervishes will give a bell in return. Such dervishes have also become a scenery of the city.

Seeing this monk shouting to stop him, Chen Xuanting was stunned, "The master called me?" ”

The monk smiled slightly: "Of course it's you, is there still an outsider here?" ”

Only then did Chen Xuanting realize that he actually spoke Chinese, so he wondered: "The master can actually speak Chinese?" ”

The monk said with a smile again: "The two Buddhists originated in China, and our practitioners also know some of the languages of your country. ”

Chen Xuanting was relieved.

The monk said: "Since there is a fate here, let's go in and talk." ”

Chen Xuanting saw that this person was talking well, so he smiled and agreed.

Koji Yano and Yanagi Piaoyuki stayed at the door and waited very well.
