The summer rain comes and goes quickly. At dawn, it stopped, and the morning air became exceptionally fresh under the baptism of heavy rain overnight, and even the sun hanging high in the sky seemed to become brighter.

The people of Jingshi City got up early and started a busy day. Officials drove to Zaoji in their own cars. Suddenly, the huge city became lively, and the noise everywhere seemed to show the prosperity of the country.

As usual, the Wan'an Temple in the west of the city recited the solemn and heavy scriptures early, one by one, driving away the dead silence of this street. However, the backyard of the temple is still as quiet as ever. But the boy who lived here yesterday got up very early, and did a strange dance in the courtyard, and it was not right to say that it was a dance.

For this son, the monks in the temple feel that he is different, and he can't tell why, maybe he will say hello to everyone, and say a strange sentence - "Gude is busy with Ning", although it is unexpected, but he will still bow his head slightly, and reply to the last sentence "The donor is healthy." ”

Maybe this son is handsome, his face is often smiling, and he treats his subordinates very gently, although he has a female dependent, he has not done anything to disturb the purity of Buddhism, he is personable, kind to people, very likable, and yesterday, he also deliberately found the abbot to ask for two wings, and he can get used to the coarse tea and light rice of the Buddhist family, if it is another young master, it is estimated that he will not even touch it, let alone eat so relish.

The whispers of the monks Li Xiao naturally didn't know, and the last sentence of "good morning" was just a simple mantra when people met, and it was impossible to talk to Chu Chu at night, and he didn't even do it that night, how could he sit in the Buddha Gate at this moment for these dirty things, no matter how he said it, he had to be in those red light districts in the city, so it was convenient. Besides, Chu Chu is not sixteen, and he is not interested in the little girl, this Li Dagongzi. As for those coarse tea and light rice, compared to the dark cuisine of the old housekeeper in Yizhou, it can be regarded as a delicacy in the world, since he experienced that badly, Li Xiao felt that he would not dislike other foods anymore.

Li Xiao, who had eaten breakfast, was bored, and he didn't know what to do after doing radio gymnastics, after sending him here yesterday, there was no news in the palace, and Lu Yunlu, who had been with each other for more than ten days, had not heard from him since he returned home, Chu Chu had been sleeping in the room because he was a little tired from the rush for a few days, and he couldn't tease the little girl to pass the time. The most important thing is that he is the first time to come to Beijing, he is not familiar with the place, he wants to go out but there is no guide, if he causes trouble with some dignitaries, the gains outweigh the losses.

Thinking about it, I can only entertain myself in this courtyard. Fortunately, the small courtyard in this temple is quiet, the scenery is excellent, a few clumps of fallen orchids, two small trees of unknown species, a somewhat dilapidated vegetable garden, the courtyard is full of vibrant grass, and a few birds and birds on the nesting trees, which is a bit interesting.

According to Monk Pujing, this courtyard was originally lived by an old friend of his, but later there was something wrong and he left, and it was estimated that he would not come back, and it was empty, so he gave it to Li Xiao to live. Who is Monk Pujing's old friend, Li Xiao doesn't care, anyway, he is not there, he borrowed the light to live, what do you do with so much.

Li Xiao, who was lying on the stone table, smelled the thick smell of grass in the courtyard and began to think about the next trip.

It's not a way to stay all the time, although the food in Wan'an Temple is good, but after eating for a few days, I can't stand it, and I can't solve the illness of the princess in the palace, I can't go, the key is that I am not familiar with this huge Jingshi, and I have no place to kill time.

"Alas, the prosperous Jingshi will also make people bored." Looking at the grass growing in front of him, Li Xiao sighed. At this moment, he felt that this huge Jingshi City was not as interesting as the small Suzhou Yizhou, at least there, he could do whatever he wanted, and he didn't have to worry about being touched.

Thinking about it, the green-shirted woman who was lying in front of her carriage yesterday slowly appeared in front of her eyes, interesting, I didn't think that such a Beijing teacher, there would be people who would do the business of touching porcelain, and he was also a county lord, although he was down, but how to say that it was also royal blood, no one paid attention to it, let it develop, and there was such an emperor in the world who didn't care about the royal face? But think about it, this doesn't matter to us, but the county lord, although there are some red stains on his face, if you look closely, he looks very delicate, if you wash away those stains on your face, it should be beautiful.

Although it is a beauty, don't meet again, you can't afford to be blackmailed like this, even if it's not your own money, but you will always feel indebted to that wealthy Lu Gongzi. Compared with the county lord, Chen Ziye, who has been eating and drinking for a few days, is considered good, although Chen Gongzi is greedy, his character is still good, and he will not do things that pit people.

When it came to Chen Ziye, Li Xiao also wondered, it stands to reason that Chen Dacai should have returned to Beijing a few days earlier, and it is not difficult to get his position with the energy behind him, he didn't come yesterday, and he didn't come to chat today.

Turning over, lying on his back, looking at a few strange-shaped clouds floating in the sky, Li Xiao began to miss the storytelling days in Suzhou City. At this time, he felt that he was like Mr. Wuliu who returned to the countryside, idle and boring, but unfortunately he was not as literary as Tao Gong, and he was so bored that he could open his mouth to become a poem, and it could be passed down through the ages.

"Why is the son lying on the table, sighing, if it weren't for the old man's poor hospitality?" Pu Jing walked slowly with a multicolored plate on it, on which were a few pieces of red fruit, and when he got closer, he saw that on the plate were a few pieces of cut dragon fruit.

Li Xiao has never seen dragon fruit since he crossed over, Rao is the Chu Mansion that traveled south and north, and he has never seen this kind of fruit that is shaped like a fire, full of powder, and has a sweet taste. Although he is not obsessed with dragon fruit, he still misses this fruit that he used to buy in his previous life: "Dragon fruit? Where did the abbot get it? ”

"Dragon fruit?" Pu Jing looked at the cut dragon fruit on the plate in his hand, and was surprised why the young man in front of him would say this name: "Earlier, His Majesty asked people to send it to Gongzi, saying that it was a red dragon fruit from a small country outside, but I don't know why Gongzi called it dragon fruit." ”

"Uh." Li Xiao was dumbfounded, and the name that came out of his mouth turned out to be Haoguo at this time who didn't know that the fruit in front of him was a tribute from a small country outside, "I just feel that this fruit is like a fire, and the dragon swims on it, so I called it so." It's just a humble opinion, don't care, master. ”

"Oh." Pu Jing put down the plate, turned his head and prepared to leave, but before he had walked a few steps, he stopped and looked at the colorful plate on the stone table: "I heard my father-in-law say that when Your Majesty saw this fruit, he also said what Gongzi said just now." ”

Pu Jing didn't stay long and left quickly.

Li Xiao looked at the dragon fruit in front of him, thinking back to what Pu Jing had just said, the most powerful existence had the same thoughts as himself, and somehow, for the rumored emperor's majesty, Li Xiao suddenly had the idea of seeing the true face.

His Majesty the Emperor, who had just finished the early dynasty in the palace not far away, also had the same idea as Li Xiao after listening to the report of the little eunuch, and casually flipped through the book that Zuo Xiang had just presented in his hand, thinking in his heart, meet this Li Gongzi from Suzhou, and take a good look at this young man who has written such an amazing work.

His Majesty the Emperor's thoughts, Li Xiao naturally didn't know. At this time, he was looking at Chu Chu swallowing the dragon fruit on the plate one bite after another.

The little girl woke up shortly after Pu Jing left, perhaps woken up by the chatting between the two, or because of the fragrance of dragon fruit on the plate. Chu Chu, who rubbed her eyes and walked out of the door, saw the fruit on the table at a glance, her stomach rang a few times without breakfast, and Li Xiao, who had finished eating a piece, was not reluctant to give up a few pieces of dragon fruit on the plate, pulled Chu Chu to sit down, and gave it to her.

At first, the little girl was shy and reserved, but when she ate the first piece, she was instantly attracted by the sweet taste of dragon fruit and began to gobble it up. Li Xiao didn't speak, sat silently on the side, looked at the little girl's appearance, and laughed.

The birds on the branches chirped and flapped their wings to fly freely in the sky, and the grass on the ground was steamed by the sun for several hours, and the rain left behind made it even stronger.

The courtyard was very quiet, except for the sound of eating and eating, and a few birdsong. The heavy ringing of the bell in the front yard eased up at night, everything was very harmonious, and in Li Xiao's eyes, there was a kind of "chaos without silk and bamboo, and labor without cases".

Enjoying this tranquility, he supported his head with his hands, and lazily motioned to Chu Chu to wipe the residue from the corners of his mouth.

Chu Chu touched the corners of her mouth, realizing that she was no longer the dirty little slave in Yizhou, and now she was the son of the clean young master in front of her, and she needed to pay attention to her image at all times, if she disgraced Li Xiao, it would be a crime that deserved death.

Li Xiao didn't think about it so much, he just looked at Chu Chu and looked funny, wiping the residue from the corners of his mouth was a habitual move, the main thing was that outside the moon gate, there were guests.

Yes, there are indeed guests outside the moon gate. The footsteps are anxious, not as steady as the monks and masters.

The sound of footsteps getting closer and closer came to Li Xiao's ears very clearly, as if he wanted to break the rare peace in the courtyard.
