Chapter 170: Jade True Taoism

has been a human being in two lives, and has gone through countless pink arrays, how much love has been perfectly avoided by Gu Qing.

Zhang Huaijin's paragraph is no exception.

Gu Qing was slow to respond to feelings, and he didn't understand why Zhang Huaijin behaved like this today, he was both evil and hypocritical, but it didn't affect Gu Qing's perfect escape from this love.

After being refused by Gu Qing to go to the princess Taoist temple, Zhang Huaijin has been sullen, hanging his head and hanging his head listlessly following Gu Qing to hang out.

Thinking that Gu Qing was about to go with that Princess Wanchun, and that she might get along with each other day and night in the Taoist Temple, Zhang Huaijin felt uncomfortable in his heart, as if a toy that originally belonged to him was snatched by someone else.

The two walked on the street, Zhang Huai Jinxiu followed behind dejectedly, and Gu Qing looked left and right to walk in front.

Gu Qing's attention was all on the food on the roadside.

In those days, there weren't many delicacies, and the cooking methods were mostly steaming, roasting, and the variety of food was very small, and many of the things that had been indiscriminate on the streets of later generations had not yet appeared here, and they were still planted in the lands of the Americas or Africa, waiting for the colonists to bring back their seeds.

Gu Qing secretly decided that after taking power in the future, he must build a fleet to go to sea, and the high-yield grains such as potatoes and corn must be brought back, and by the way, he must get some chili seeds, so that he can eat a hot pot with a soul.

There were too few delicacies, Gu Qing only paid attention to meat, and he was surprised to find that there were barbecue stalls on the streets of Chang'an in Datang. The grill is relatively rough, a large pottery urn is burned with charcoal, a thick iron rod passes through half a sheep, and is roasted on the fire, and the green-eyed Hu man wears strange costumes, and keeps sprinkling mysterious spices on the sheep, and after the sheep is roasted, he puts it in a large tray, and divides the sheep piece by piece with a dagger.

Gu Qing's eyes suddenly lit up, good thing! I finally found the memories of my past life, and I must visit them.

Without thinking, he took Zhang Huaijin's hand, and Gu Qing said excitedly: "Let's go, the second brother will take you to eat fragrant and drink spicy food." ”

Zhang Huaijin's hand was suddenly held by him, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and then his face was full of shame: "Brother Gu, the ...... of the public"

Gu Qing was stunned, immediately let go of her hand, pulled her sleeve and wiped her hands, and said in a deep voice: "Third brother, you are serious." ”

"Oh......" Zhang Huaijin's mood fell to the bottom again.

The two sat down at the barbecue stall, Gu Qing called half a sheep, because the scene was too familiar, Gu Qing, who was fast-talking, couldn't help but call another case of cold beer, looking at the guy's blank eyes, Gu Qing had to change his mouth to grape brewing, Hu Ren saw that Gu Qing and Zhang Huaijin were dressed extraordinary, and they didn't dare to offend, so they laughed and said that they only sold barbecue meat and not wine.

Gu Qing was not disappointed, most of the problems in the world can be solved with money.

After a handful of copper coins were slapped on the table, the man happily ran to the restaurant across the street to help him buy wine.

The taste of the grape wine is not very good, it tastes like juice, the quality of the wine is very cloudy, and the important thing is that it is not iced. In these years, only the families of powerful officials and eunuchs have dug ice cellars, and if Gu Qing wants to drink a sip of ice grapes, he can only go to Zhang Jiuzhang or Li Guangbi's mansion to rub it, and Li Shiniang's mansion may also have it.

took out the dagger in his arms, and carefully cut off a piece of the roasted golden and crispy mutton, Gu Qing took a bite, and his taste buds seemed to be exploded, I don't know what spices were used, the smell and spice flavor were combined, and the taste seemed to be not inferior to the kebab stall in the previous life.

Zhang Huaijin stared at the dagger in Gu Qing's hand, this dagger Gu Qing rarely took out, and kept it in his arms, after all, there were not many opportunities to use it.

"Did you make your dagger yourself or was someone else giving it to you?" Zhang Huaijin stared at the dagger.

Gu Qing glanced at it, and arched his hand in the southwest direction with a look of reverence: "Of course it was sent by our eldest brother." ”

I heard that it was sent by Sister Zhang Huaiyu, Zhang Huaijin's mouth was deflated, and he sighed.

"What are you doing, eat quickly. Third brother, today we have found a treasure, this barbecue is really good, we will come often in the future. Gu Qing chewed the meat in his mouth and drank another bowl of wine, the inferior wine made Gu Qing frown, so he added: "Next time we bring our own wine, do you have an ice cellar at home?" ”

"There is ......"

"Next time I'm going to buy good wine, you bring ice cubes from home, let's have a good time here." Gu Qing smiled contentedly. For some reason, I'm in a good mood when I eat meat.

Seeing that Gu Qing was dripping with oil from the corners of his mouth, Zhang Huaijin finally forgot the blow of frustration in the love scene for the time being, and also ate it, taking a bite of barbecue meat into his mouth, Zhang Huaijin's eyes lit up, and he kept making a hmm-hum sound with his cheeks, obviously satisfied with the taste.

"Second brother, I want to drink too!" Zhang Huaijin stretched out his hand towards Gu Qing.

"Get out! What kind of wine does the little girl drink, don't learn it well! Gu Qing refused very unceremoniously.

Zhang Huaijin said angrily: "I also drink at home, and I also drink with Erzu Weng, I drink a lot!" ”

Gu Qing firmly refused: "No matter how much alcohol you drink, you are not allowed to drink it." ”

Zhang Huaijin behaved strangely today, if Gu Qing let her drink again, I don't know what crazy thing she would do, so Gu Qing must strangle the trouble in the cradle.

Zhang Huaijin snorted angrily, buried his head in eating mutton, it was even more ugly than Gu Qing, and the beautiful characters of everyone who pretended to be just now all collapsed.

The combat effectiveness of the two people is not bad, and it didn't take long for half a sheep to be almost killed by the two.

Zhang Huaijin couldn't eat anymore, he held his cheeks and watched Gu Qing eat meat and drink wine, and watched it stupidly for a long time, Zhang Huaijin suddenly said: "Second brother, do you believe that men and women fall in love at first sight?" ”

Gu Qing took a slow sip of wine and said, "I don't believe it." ”

"Why?"

"Love at first sight is ugly, it's called 'lustful intentions', men and women meet for the first time, the other party's character, what character, what virtue is not known, completely based on the other party's appearance and appearance to feel that he likes her, this is a very irresponsible behavior for his own life, purely the lust of men and women, most of the love at first sight will be remorseful after sleeping, to be able to white-headed with the old man that really depends on the ancestors to accumulate ancestral grave smoke."

Zhang Huaijin was stunned, an originally beautiful thing full of romantic and charming atmosphere was so unbearable to say from Gu Qing's mouth.

Is this guy the devil?

"Then do you believe in long-term love?"

Gu Qing took another sip of wine and said slowly: "It depends on how long it takes, and couples who pat their butts to know that they want to change positions, such a tacit understanding will indeed take a long time." But this can't be called 'love over time', at most it can only be called tacit understanding over time. ”

Zhang Huaijin's eyes widened blankly: ???

Gu Qing turned her head to look her up and down: "What's going on with you today?" Why are you entangled in the petty love of men and women? This is not right, you and my brother should have a broader mind and dedicate our limited love to the toiling masses of the whole world. ”

Zhang Huaijin: ???

Rubbing his forehead in pain, Zhang Huaijin said sadly: "Second brother, my head hurts so much now, don't stop me, otherwise I will turn my face with you." ”

After speaking, Zhang Huaijin snatched Gu Qing's wine jar with his hand, raised his head and poured a sip of wine.

Gu Qing shook his head and sighed: "Stubborn, the eldest brother came to Chang'an and asked her to enlighten you." ”

After eating and drinking enough to settle the bill and leave, Zhang Huaijin was still depressed, but Gu Qing's mood was very good, eating meat was really a thing that could sublimate the soul.

In front of sending Zhang Huaijin to the door of Zhang's mansion, Gu Qing was about to say goodbye to her, but Zhang Huaijin suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes, Gu Qing turned his head, but saw Zhang Huaijin looking at him pitifully, his eyes innocent and stupid.

"Second brother, when you go to the princess's Taoist temple, you must guard yourself like jade, lock the door at night, and don't be deceived by other women's rhetoric......"

Gu Qing's expression was cold and arrogant: "With my skills, no one should be able to deceive me." The third brother can rest assured, when the second brother returns, his body will still be ice and jade. ”

Zhang Huaijin thought about Gu Qing's incomprehensible rank, it is indeed a high level of skill, there are few enemies in the world, what about Her Royal Highness the Princess? Unless he tied his hands and feet to the door panel, the princess would not succeed. So Zhang Huaijin was a little relieved.

…………

Two days later, Gu Qing got into a carriage and walked with Princess Wanchun to Princess Yuzhen's Turin Taoist Temple.

Walking all the way, Gu Qing and Princess Wanchun don't have much intersection, the princess's guard of honor is a bit scary, there are Yulin guards in front and behind, and countless eunuchs and palace maids accompany Luan to drive around, in comparison, Gu Qing's carriage looks very simple and shabby, following the princess's guard of honor like a lions behind picking up cheap hyenas, the picture was very sad for a while.

The Turin Taoist Temple was originally in Luoyang, after the opening of the Yuan Dynasty, Li Longji missed his sister, Princess Yuzhen then built a Turin Taoist Temple at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, Princess Yuzhen rarely entered Chang'an City, most of the time in the Taoist Temple of self-cultivation, and the talented and handsome people of the Tang Dynasty drank banquets and dances, talked about poetry, and had scandals with many talents, including the famous Li Bai and Wang Wei.

Princess Yuzhen's life is called life.

According to the records of Ye Shi, the relationship between Li Bai and Wang Wei was very bad, almost incompatible. The reason for this is probably related to Princess Yuzhen more or less.

The carriage traveled for most of the day, and stopped in front of a large Taoist temple under Zhongnan Mountain, which was already a mountain trail, and the carriage could not go up, so it had to walk.

Gu Qing got out of the carriage and found that Princess Wanchun was wearing a plain Xuan-colored palace skirt, and was standing not far away looking at him with a smile.

Gu Qing's heart swayed, in his straight male aesthetics, if only in terms of appearance, Princess Wanchun should be the second beauty in the world after Yang Guifei, especially the appearance of the mixed-race child, especially the exotic style.

"Gu Qing, here is the Taoist Temple, the imperial aunt is easy-going and hospitable, you don't have to be restrained after entering the Taoist temple, you can be casual, the imperial aunt's favorite is that the talents are wild and uninhibited in her Taoist temple, indulging in poetry among the mountains and rivers." Princess Wanchun said with a smile.

Gu Qing lowered his head and saluted: "Yes, thank you for mentioning the point, Your Royal Highness the princess, the minister will definitely not see outside." ”

Princess Wanchun covered her mouth and giggled: "Your words are already very obvious, Taoism is not as good as Chang'an City, don't care about red tape, don't just put the word 'Xie' on your lips." ”

Looking up at the Taoist temple not far away, Princess Wanchun said: "Let's go, follow me in, everything in Chang'an is troubled, Gu Qing, you can recuperate in the Taoist temple for a few days, the imperial aunt values your literary talent very much, and in her Taoist temple, she will definitely treat you as a guest." ”

Yu Linwei walked forward to open the way, Princess Wanchun and Gu Qing walked towards the Taoist Temple, Gu Qing's pace slowed down a little, faintly behind Princess Wanchun, Princess Wanchun slowed down several times and wanted to walk side by side with Gu Qing, but Gu Qing was slower than her, the two kept a shoulder distance, Princess Wanchun was helpless, glanced at him hatefully, and walked alone.

Gu Qing smiled, and the princess said that he didn't have to see outside, he couldn't take it seriously. The Taoist temple belongs to Princess Yuzhen, no matter what kind of identity the princess is, where she is, after all, there are rules, how can she not see the outside?

There is a person named Yang Xiu in history who is very unseen, and he is set up as a wild and uninhibited celebrity, not only stealing and eating Cao Chengxiang's shortbread, but also repeatedly playing tricks, and finally Cao Chengxiang did not see him outside, and chopped him off with a knife.

The lessons of the previous car are not far away, and we should take them as a warning.

The specifications of the Taoist temple are very high, from the height of the beams, it is still built according to the specifications of the princess, the main hall is the Sanqing Palace, specially designed for the Sanqing Laojun, the Taoist aunts in the view do morning and evening classes here, next to the side hall, there is a hall and a hall of merit, the back of the hall belongs to the backyard range, the interesting thing is that the range of the backyard is much larger than the scope of the main hall, the courtyards stacked inside, the palace-like luxurious dormitory, and a piece of artificially dug out of the small lake, the central building of the lake is all pavilions.

From the outside, the main hall of the Taoist temple seems to be only for decoration, and the real luxury buildings are all used in the palace courtyard in the backyard, which is quite a bit like selling dog meat with a sheep's head.

Gu Qing only glanced at the layout of the Taoist temple, and he roughly understood Princess Yuzhen's heart.

In fact, the royal people have no faith in the Tao, which is nothing more than using the Taoist as an excuse to escape from an unsatisfactory marriage, and spend their lives in this world.

There are so many banquets and so many talents invited every year, but it comes down to loneliness.

Walking into the Taoist temple, Princess Yuzhen stood at the door of the Taoist temple wearing a Baina Taoist robe and looked at Princess Wanchun and Gu Qing with a smile.

Princess Wanchun grinned, didn't salute, jumped forward and grabbed Princess Yuzhen's arm, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, does the imperial aunt miss me?" ”

Princess Yuzhen stretched out her hand and scratched her nose, and said with a smile: "I don't want you, compared to the talents of the Tang Dynasty, what do you have worth thinking about, right Gu Qing?" ”

Gu Qing was stunned, bowed and bowed: "The minister greeted Her Royal Highness Princess Yuzhen, and took the liberty to disturb him, and the minister was ashamed." ”

Princess Yuzhen smiled: "If you feel ashamed, you might as well make a few good poems and send them to me, with your talent, a poem can be worth a year of eating and living in the Taoist temple, how about it?" ”

Gu Qing smiled bitterly: "The minister will do his best." ”

"The Taoist temple is a place outside the square, here is not to pay attention to the worldly etiquette, Gu Qing, you are not too restrained, if everywhere is still like Chang'an walking on thin ice, I invite you to come here will lose the original intention, it is inevitable to be strong and elegant, although this is a Taoist temple, but the backyard can't help but drink, there are good wines, there are also beautiful Maiko, the wine is not brought into the main hall, it is not disrespectful to the old gentleman, Gu Qing, you can feel free."
