Zhao Kuangyin didn't go home until two days later, and he went to greet the elders first. Zhao's mother said: "Your third brother said something to me yesterday, and one of Wang Rao's relatives mentioned to the third child that Wang Rao has a daughter who is virtuous and diligent, and can play the zither and drums, which is very good. ”

"Zhangde Army Festival Envoy? The servant who just added, that is the elder of the three dynasties. The black-faced Zhao Kuangyin immediately became interested, "Wang Shizhong intends to marry his daughter to the third brother of our family?" ”

Mother Zhao shook her head: "The implication is that the daughter of the Wang family doesn't want to marry the third child, or she has taken a fancy to you." ”

Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly said: "That's not good, Wang Shizhong is higher than me, and my daughter is already married to the Zhao family...... Of course, it is impossible to be a concubine; But I am married, and my wife is still there, how can I marry another wife? ”

"That's what I said to the third child." Mother Zhao said.

Zhao Kuangyin said goodbye to his elders, went back to his house to see his wife He, met the third brother in the yard, and said a few words casually and went into the house.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he saw He's, He's expression was different: "Husband, you must keep an eye on the third brother......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Kuangyin stretched out his hand and slapped He's fan to the ground, scolding: "Okay, don't learn, I've learned slander!" He was immediately very angry, turned around and came out, and saw that Zhao Kuangyi was still in the courtyard.

Zhao Kuangyi hurriedly came up and greeted: "Second brother is angry." ”

Zhao Kuangyin glared at him, snorted in his nose, ignored it, and said in his heart: The third brother often does things without proportion, but just because he is still young, in the end, he is my own brother, and his nature is not much worse.

At this moment, the porter came to report that someone outside had asked to see him. Zhao Kuangyin asked if there was a famous post, and the porter replied: "No, it is a female Taoist priest who claims to be the master's righteous sister." ”

When Zhao Kuangyin heard this, he immediately asked the porter to invite in to meet the guests. But it was a middle-aged black woman with skin not much whiter than Zhao Kuangyin, and she sent a letter, saying that the master of Yuzhenguan had an important appointment to meet.

Zhao Kuangyin opened the letter and saw that it was indeed Jing Niang's handwriting.

(Yuzhenguan is a Taoist temple where Yulian lived for several months, in the inner city of Tokyo.) The main name of the view is Yuzhen, in fact, her name is Jingniang, and she is a woman from the rivers and lakes that Zhao Kuangyin met when she traveled the world in her early years.

The woman pretended to be kidnapped by mountain bandits and asked Zhao Kuangyin to save the beauty heroically. Later, Zhao Kuangyin learned that it was impossible for her to be robbed by a few mountain bandits, because she was very strong in martial arts; In terms of fighting alone or a few people fighting with sticks, it is not much worse than Zhao Kuangyin, and she still needs to be saved?

Zhao Kuangyin kindly worked hard to send her home, but she had to entrust her for life, hinted several times along the way, and finally expressed her heart. But Zhao Kuangyin refused, saying that she would only be regarded as a righteous sister. Unexpectedly, she cried, made trouble, and hanged herself, pretending to jump into the lake again to bluff Zhao Kuangyin...... turned out to be unsuccessful with Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyin thought that this matter was over; I don't want this woman to be so difficult, I followed her for several years, and came to Tokyo to build a Taoist temple, even if she is in her twenties, she still doesn't get married, do you want to follow me Zhao Kuangyin?

He won't marry a Jianghu woman, for his own reasons.

Zhao Kuangyin pondered for a while, ordered the servants to prepare horses, and then went into the house to find a few ingots of gold in the collection and wrapped them in cloth.

The place of appointment is in the dining room of Daxiangguo Temple, a Taoist priest actually went to the Buddhist temple to meet guests, Zhao Kuangyin only felt very funny, what Jingniang did as a Taoist priest must be nonsense! And that Taoist temple is not really Taoism either.

Zhao Kuangyin left his entourage outside the temple and entered the temple alone to meet the guests. In this Daxiangguo Temple can not come nonsense, up to the official family, the nobles of the Great Inner and the civil and military families have contributed sesame oil money, the temple is very wide-related, and ordinary people dare not make trouble here.

Seeing Jing Niang again, Zhao Kuangyin didn't think that she really saw through Hongchen and became a monk, a Taoist priest, painted his eyebrows and painted rouge, is this like a monk; And although she was wearing a wide robe, her chest was towering, and she could hold up the thick and wide robe. With such a figure and appearance, how do you look like a Taoist priest.

Jing Niang has long legs and is tall, not at all like the little women of the Naliang family, and may be taller than some men; The body is neither thin nor fat, and it looks strong and round. The expression of one face is very cold, and the eyes are very attentive...... Just by looking at it, you can see that this woman is not a docile and easy woman to deal with.

Zhao Kuangyin hugged his fists and said, "Righteous sister." ”

Jing Niang raised her eyebrows, her expression and demeanor were also upright, and the two of them sat down. After greetings, she talked about the matter: "The imperial court has recently demolished Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in various places, and it has affected Yuzhenguan, and the officials of Kaifeng Mansion said that our Yuzhenguan is not a Buddha or a Taoist, and it is an evil way!" We want to dismiss the people within a time limit and demolish the Taoist houses......"

Zhao Kuangyin put the cloth bag wrapped in gold at his feet and asked, "Then what god do you worship?" ”

Jing Niang said innocently: "Queen Mother." We call it Queen Mother Religion. ”

"Queen Mother...... Teach? Zhao Kuangyin suddenly frowned, "My sister is away from home, and she usually wants to read history." The Yellow Turban Thief of the Han Dynasty is the Heavenly Master Teaching, as soon as there are many people, they shout 'The year is good in the world in Jiazi', what do you call yourself a religion, non-Taoist and non-monk, so what do you want to do? It is polite for the government to demolish the Taoist temple. ”

Jing Niang said: "You're welcome? The officials also slandered us as the fine work of the Shu Kingdom! ”

Zhao Kuangyin exclaimed: "How can you slander that you are a Shu State detail, not a Southern Tang Dynasty detail?" "No wonder Zhao Kuangyin asked like this, the official family recently wanted to use troops against Shu first, and at this time, she hit the limelight when she said that she was a Shu State detail, "Are you really having dealings with the people of Shu and being noticed by the official army with the eyeline?" ”

Jing Niang said in a low voice: "Don't dare to deceive my righteous brother, I do have a relationship with Fei Guifei, the lady of the flower stamen of the Shu Kingdom." Last year, I was practicing on Mount Emei and planning to build a Taoist temple but I was short of money, so I met Mrs. Hua Rui so that she could sponsor ......"

"This ......" Zhao Kuangyin's brows couldn't stretch, and he immediately lifted the cloth bag at his feet and put it on the table, "There is some gold here, it should be a dowry given to you by your brother-in-law, you go home and find a place to live a good life!" Listen to the righteous brother's words, military aircraft and state affairs, women must not be confused and get in! ”

"I didn't understand what my brother said."

Zhao Kuangyin said: "The official family has been fighting hard for a long time, and now they are not afraid to say it." In less than half a year, our dynasty will use troops against Shu on a large scale; You are in Tokyo, but you have a relationship with the concubine of Shu Kingdom, doesn't it make people suspicious? The government suspects you of being a conspiracy, but it is not a complete fabrication. ”

Jing Niang refused the gold, her face flushed slightly, and she whispered: "It's okay if you want me to be vulgar, but don't you understand my mind?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin was a little angry: "I understand your thoughts, but you don't understand my thoughts?" It's been a few years, if I want to marry a righteous sister, why should I let you waste your youth in vain? Zhao has always treated you as a righteous sister, and he has no evil thoughts. ”

Jing Niang said aggrievedly: "But I can only have one person in my heart, and when you come in, you can no longer pretend to be someone else...... The righteous sister is not a relative, what does it matter, the queen is still the righteous sister of the official family. ”

Zhao Kuangyin was annoyed: "I said ugly things in front, I made it clear to my righteous sister earlier, you are wasting your time now, and don't rely on me if you are old and yellow in the future!" When Zhao escorted you back then, it was definitely not because he saw it, let alone took a fancy to you! At that time, I was looking for an opportunity to do something righteous just to accumulate fame, prestige and conduct, and I did more than this good deed. I'm sorry if you misunderstood! ”

Jing Niang said: "Then you have a reputation and an official position, what does it matter if you marry me now?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin stood up: "How can I marry you?" I have a wife, marry my sister as a concubine? What will my colleagues think of me Zhao Kuangyin! He looked annoyed, but in fact, he endured some words in his heart, this Jingniang showed up and shook around outside as an adult, she was not a good woman, she could also martial arts, and she was so difficult, if she married home, she was afraid that the family would not be able to make waves?

Jing Niang said: "I am also willing to be a concubine!" If you're afraid that others will talk about you, then I can wait until your wife leaves......"

"I didn't think you were such a woman!" Zhao Kuangyin was already very polite, "Even if you curse the cheap one, I will only continue to be the right person, what does it have to do with you!" ”

This is what Zhao Kuangyin said in his heart, the elder of the three dynasties in the service of Wang Rao, the prestige is very high, the tree is deep, and the Wang family seems to be intended...... If the He family lives at the end of his life, Zhao Kuangyin can't wait to marry Wang Rao's daughter, what is he entangled with this Jianghu woman?

Zhao Kuangyin said again: "I had good intentions back then, and I always abided by etiquette, and I didn't even touch you with a finger, can you still say that I am ungrateful!" I didn't expect you to be so persistent! ”

Jing Niang gritted her teeth and endured it, and said, "Could it be that for the sake of wealth, you can abandon everything?" ”

"It's not wealth, it's about making meritorious deeds and doing great things, and it's the ambition of Zuojun and the people! What does a woman think about and understand the ambition of a husband? Zhao Kuangyin said coldly, "What's more, who did Zhao abandon?" You and I have been brothers and sisters, and I am now giving you money to persuade you to live a good life, is it wrong? ”

Jing Niang choked up and said: "I know that you only have big things in your chest, and I don't care if you don't have me in your heart, as long as I have you in my heart...... I don't want anything from you, and I won't stop you from doing great things. ”

Zhao Kuangyin said coldly: "Think about your own appearance, is it so light? I won't mind your business! It's best if the Taoist temple is sealed, and if it's sealed, you won't have a place to stay, so it's a good thing to go home. That's all, you're good at it. ”

"What is it good to do for yourself, you threaten me?" Jing Niang was also angry.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "I have no grievances with you, what do I threaten you?" You just don't pester me anymore. Leave! ”

When he brushed his sleeves away, Jing Niang sat at the wooden table in a daze, and it took a long time to remember that the gold on the table was left. She poured a sip of tea and slapped the cup on the table with a "clang".

At this time, a monk came in and said, "Amitabha!" The Buddha said: Quit anger ......"

"The Buddha said, the Buddha said! Are you blind, don't you see that I am a Taoist priest! Jing Niang scolded angrily.
