"Two for a penny! How many do you want from the guest officer? ”

Zhao Junsheng took out a copper plate and threw it over: "Two!" ”

The Hu man who set up the stall wrapped two Hu cakes with lotus leaves and handed them to Zhao Junsheng, Zhao Junsheng took the Hu cake and tore off a piece of it and put it in his mouth to chew, the taste was not bad, there were not many condiments, only some mutton foam and pepper were put in, and eating in the mouth was full of the original taste of pasta.

After walking for a while, Zhao Junsheng gave the Hu cake to the imperial guards who followed behind him, and continued to walk forward.

After a while, I walked to the door of a garment shop, looked up, and walked in.

The shopkeeper in the shop saw that it was Zhao Junsheng, and hurriedly trotted out from behind the counter to greet him.

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand to stop him from saluting and asked, "Can the owner be here?" ”

"Yes, take a nap in the backyard room!" The shopkeeper said and hurriedly greeted a female clerk, "Go and report to the owner!" ”

"No need to report it, don't disturb her rest, I'll just go and take a look!" Zhao Junsheng said and walked to the backyard, the four imperial guards followed into the backyard and scattered around to guard, and the others all stayed outside the shop to find a place for themselves.

When Wan Yutong woke up, she found that she had an extra cashmere blanket on her body, she got up and turned her head to look, and saw Zhao Junsheng standing in front of her tailor table doing needlework.

"When did you come, how did I not know?"

Zhao Junsheng turned his head and said with a smile: "You were sleeping like a pig when I came, how did you know that I was coming!" ”

"You're the piggy! What are you doing? ”

"I'm making a shoulder, I think this mink is quite big, just make a shoulder alone!" Zhao Junsheng spoke, but the work in his hands did not stop.

"Shoulders? How to wear it? Wan Yutong lifted the cashmere blanket on his body and got up and walked to Zhao Junsheng's side.

Zhao Junsheng had already sewn the edges of the mink at this time, he took out a piece of gold cake, put it on the workbench and flattened it, the gold itself was soft, and it could be kneaded into any shape like mud in Zhao Junsheng's hands.

After a while, he kneaded the gold cake into the same shape as the mink's head, that is, a mask, inlaid two jade beads on the two eyeballs of the gold mask, and then fixed the whole gold mask on the mink's head, and fastened it firmly.

"That's it!" Zhao Junsheng picked up this mink shoulder, "Come, try it!" ”

Wan Yutong turned around, and Zhao Junsheng put the ferret on her fragrant shoulder, looking like a ferret with a golden mask coiled on her shoulders.

"Well, yes, wearing it like this will definitely attract everyone's attention!"

Wan Yutong hurriedly walked to the bronze mirror and looked at it, turning left and right, full of joy, she liked it very much.

The maid walked in with tea and said in surprise: "Ah, miss, your ferret is so beautiful, and with your appearance, it is simply beautiful!" ”

"I've seen Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng raised his hand: "No courtesy!" ”

Wan Yutong glanced at the maid, "Just your sweet mouth, put down the tea, Your Majesty wants to eat in the mansion, you go back to the kitchen first!" ”

"No!"

After the maid withdrew, Wan Yutong sat in front of the low table and poured tea, Zhao Junsheng sat opposite her, took the tea she handed and said, "There are too many things these days, I can't spare time to leave the palace!" ”

Wan Yutong said: "I heard the news of the assassination of the two envoys, are you upset about this?" ”

"It's not that I'm upset, it's just that I'm worried that someone is going to make trouble, if the envoy is assassinated again, the face of the Great Qianguo will be lost, and outsiders will say that the Great Cadre can't even guarantee the safety of the envoy, how dare foreign business travelers come to my Daqian? I am afraid that the relations between the great cadres and other countries will also deteriorate because of this! ”

Wan Yutong said with a smile: "I don't think you need to worry about this matter, the officials below who are handling the case are more anxious than you, you have to believe that they can solve these two cases!" ”

"Hehe, that's right!" Zhao Junsheng said, turned his head and shouted outside: "Come in!" ”

A eunuch in civilian clothes walked in and handed a box to Zhao Junsheng.

Zhao Junsheng took the box and put it in front of Wan Yutong: "Here you go!" ”

"What?"

"Obsidian essential oil, a tribute to the country!"

Wan Yutong's eyes lit up, and he immediately opened the box and took out three bottles of obsidian essential oil, "This is obsidian essential oil, now there are rumors in Chang'an City that it is crazy, saying how the obsidian essential oil paid tribute by the Exquisite Country has the effect of rejuvenating the face, but this thing is only available in the palace, only the queen can use it, my girlfriends and sisters are very envious, and they are counting on the queen to reward them some, but it is said that this obsidian essential oil is extremely scarce, and it is rare to obtain, and the queen herself is not enough, how can they have their share?" You didn't bring it to me behind Mulan's back, did you? ”

Zhao Junsheng said: "There is a bottle that she asked me to bring you, and the other two bottles are what I asked for from the Essence Envoy, he is the husband of the Essence Queen, and there are only these two bottles on his body, save some use, in the future, the Essence Kingdom will only pay tribute to three bottles every year, but I asked him to add one more bottle, and quietly give it to me in private, so that Mulan doesn't know, don't tell Mulan about this, otherwise I will be miserable!" ”

Wan Yutong couldn't help but smile, "When I look at you, you're a thief!" ”

Zhao Junsheng spread his hands, "There's no way, you can't offend both sides!" ”

The two drank tea, cleaned up, and got into a carriage in the courtyard to go to Wan Yutong's Suiyang Jun Mansion, and the imperial guards followed from a distance.

When he arrived at the mansion, Wan Yutong turned his head to look at Zhao Junsheng and said, "I see that your heart is not quiet, let's play a game of chess!" ”

"Okay!"

The two set up a chessboard, Zhao Junsheng was a stinky chess basket, and Wan Yutong let him have a son.

At the beginning, Zhao Junsheng played very smoothly, but when he played, he felt that something was wrong and wanted to regret the chess.

Wan Yutong didn't allow it, and kept emphasizing that he had no regrets, Zhao Junsheng had no choice but to make mistakes, and in the end he couldn't stand it, so he simply admitted defeat.

At this time, Wan Quan came to report: "Miss, Master Tan Wuye is here!" ”

"Please! By the way, invite him to the front hall to serve tea! Wan Yutong hurriedly commanded.

"No!"

After Wan Quan left, Wan Yutong said to Zhao Junsheng: "You are sitting first, and I will come when I go!" ”

"Who is this Tan Wuye?"

Wan Yutong said: "It is a Tianzhu monk, a few days ago I got a few Buddhist scriptures, but they are all written in Sanskrit, I can't understand, a girlfriend recommended to me this Tan Wuye master, it is said that he is very study of Buddhism, I asked him to help me translate the scriptures into Chinese, these days he has not been free, never thought he came today!" ”

"Oh, that's fine, you go, I'll drink tea and read a book here!"

Wan Yutong quickly came from the backyard to the main hall in the front yard, a Tianzhu monk was drinking tea, she smiled and stepped forward and said, "Master, I can look forward to you!" ”

Tan Wuye put down the teacup, got up and folded his hands: "Amitabha, the king and my Buddha are related, a piece of sincerity, even if the poor monk is busy, he has to find time to help the king fulfill his wish!" ”

Wan Yutong smiled and said, "Then thank you so much, master!" How about I ask the chef to prepare some meals for the morning at noon? ”

"Don't be busy, the poor monk has had breakfast!" Tan Wuye hurriedly thanked him and turned the topic to the topic: "I don't know how many volumes of Buddhist scriptures need to be translated into Chinese?" ”

Wan Yutong said: "There are nine volumes!" ”

"Oh, it will take a lot of time, there is certainly no obstacle for poor monks to read and write Sanskrit, and it is easy to translate it into Chinese, but it is not easy to make the translated Chinese text authentically restore the true meaning of the Buddhist scriptures! Can you bring the Buddhist scriptures over for the poor monks to see? ”

"Of course no problem!" Wan Yutong said and instructed the maid to bring the nine volumes of Sanskrit Buddhist scriptures placed in the study.

Soon, the maid returned to the front hall with a stack of Buddhist scriptures and placed them on the low table.

Tan Wuye picked up these Buddhist scriptures one by one and flipped them over, and then said to Wan Yutong: "Your Majesty, it will take at least half a month to translate these Buddhist scriptures into Chinese, and it can't be interrupted, let alone be disturbed, you must find a quiet place, but there are too many monks in the temple where the poor monks are on the list, and it is impossible not to be disturbed, which really makes the poor monks embarrassed!" ”

"That's ······" Wan Yutong was a little anxious, she had been given these Buddhist scriptures for a long time, but she couldn't find a monk who could translate them into Chinese, if Tan Wuye refused to help, and she didn't know that she could translate these Buddhist scriptures in the year of the monkey.

"Master, do you think I'm still quiet here? In addition to me, there are some subordinates here on weekdays, and I ordered them to try not to make a sound, so they shouldn't disturb the master! I ordered someone to prepare a separate room for the master as a resting place, and another room for the translation of the scriptures, and the meal and tea will be prepared for the master at any time! Please rest assured that I will never be stingy with the honorarium, come and bring me the pen money I prepared for the master! ”

Tan Wuye said: "The poor monk lives in the king's mansion, it seems that there is something wrong, I am afraid that it will cause gossip to the king!" ”

Wan Yutong said with a smile: "The master is too worried, there is more than one master in this house, and the master is a monk, so there is no need to shy away from it!" ”

A maid came over with a tray and placed it in front of Tan Wuye.

Tan Wuye looked at it, and there were two gold coins in the tray, and the gold coins were rolled into a cylinder of red paper.

"Master, this is a Daqian gold coin, which is not circulated in the market, and the emperor uses it to reward meritorious ministers, military generals and nobles, but you can use it to exchange it for copper coins in the royal bank!"

Tan Wuye clasped his hands together; "Amitabha! The king has a sincere heart for my Buddha, and the poor monk just translates the Sanskrit scriptures into Chinese scriptures, which is also a great merit for the poor monk, and how dare the poor monk receive the king's reward? Hurry up and let people take it away! Everything obeys the arrangement of the king, and the poor monk is in the king's mansion for half a month, but he should eat and live and bother the king's command to the people in the house! ”

"The remuneration must still be paid, although the master is a monk, he must survive to continue to promote the Dharma!"

Tan Wuye had no choice but to say: "The poor monk will not accept the gold coin, the poor monk heard that the king's skills in cutting and sewing clothes are unparalleled in the world, and now the weather is getting colder, if the king really wants to reward the poor monk, the poor monk will be cheeky to ask the king for a piece of Sanghali!" ”

Wan Yutong breathed a sigh of relief, she knew that the Tianzhu monks called the three clothes collectively called the robe, and the three clothes had their own names, but in the Central Plains, the monks and the people were used to calling the Sangha Li robe, especially the Futian robe, the most sacred Futian robe is made of twenty-five pieces of cloth inlaid with gold thread splicing, such as the acres of neatness, and even inlaid with jewels on it, the gold is shining, dazzling, only the great virtue of the monk is qualified to wear it.

"Master rest assured, I will definitely sew a thick sanghari for the master that can withstand the cold and winter!"
