Chapter 321: Prayer in the Heart
"Here, two, two steamed buns!"
Du Shaoyin walked into the screen with Zhang Han's sweaty and red face, and then hugged Xuan Shaoning enthusiastically and directly, this hug was too strong, causing Xuan Shaoning to be almost out of breath for a while, although he was happy in his heart.
"I ..... I thought you didn't know me anymore......."
After Du Shaoyin let go of Xuan Shaoning, he whispered: "How could it be! Before, there were people downstairs coming and going, and there were many eyes and mouths, so I just said haha, didn't I come up to find you to recognize me! ”
Xuan Shaoning gasped and pulled Du Shaoyin to sit down, "This won't delay your business, right?" ”
"Hey, are you really here to make money?" Du Shaoyin's expression began to become formal: "You also saw my signboard, right?" Seeing Xuan Shaoning nodded, he continued: "Fat Kui will not do such a thing as poisoning the emperor, not only will he not have the intention of rebellion, but he doesn't have the courage at all, you should know this best!" ”
"Of course, what kind of person is Fat Kui, we can all see it clearly in seven years, I understand your feelings for Fat Kui."
"Fat Kui is my master and half of my father, and the property left by my father after he left me will use this restaurant to renovate and renovate it, but fortunately, business has been good, and it is precisely because of this restaurant that we can have a safe place to speak."
Xuan Shaoning understood that Du Shaoyin was referring to Leng Yue Zhai, before they would go to Leng Yue Zhai if they had something to do, it was safe enough, but unfortunately Leng Yue Zhai was no longer there, but came to a fat restaurant, although the environment could not be the same.
"Shaoning, it is also a coincidence that I will meet Xie Yu, I just got out of this restaurant that day, I was busy late, and I met the injured Xie Yu on the way back, I didn't plan to be nosy at first, but after I accidentally saw the Xuanjia Army waist card that fell from his arms, I decided to help."
When Du Shaoyin said this, Xie Yu thanked him again, and Xuan Shaoning let the two of them sit down. "I have already made it clear in this period of time, it is also a kind of fate to meet, you are my classmate, Xie Yu is my brother, so our strength has been greatly enhanced. Xie Yu, you mentioned about Senior Sister Han Qian in your letter. ”
"Captain Xuan, I have been paying attention to collecting information from all sides since that day, I heard that Chu Hanqian was imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department and has not moved, but not long ago, someone suddenly broke the news that the emperor intends to break the tradition of not killing people before the New Year and wants to publicly execute Chu Hanqian."
"It seems that the war in Mobei has stimulated some people in the imperial court." Xuan Shaoning said, Xie Yu answered excitedly: "I have also heard of some, I don't know the specifics, Captain Xuan, you are really amazing!" ”
Xuan Shaoning stabilized Xie Yu, he didn't plan to talk about the past battle in detail now, it was a victory in exchange for his life, and another batch of robes became a handful of loess, no matter how he said it, it was not a thing worth boasting about.
"Shaoning, I really can't bear to watch Senior Sister Hanqian die under the butcher's knife anymore, I want to save her!"
Xuan Shaoning didn't think so, but such an obvious trap couldn't just jump in. "We still have to think in the long run, this is a trap set by the imperial court, once we make a move, it will inevitably lead to a series of unexpected incidents, we are only a few people, we can't be cautious."
"Captain Xuan, I haven't run in vain these days, I've collected a lot of information about the overall rescue plan, listen to me in detail."
Du Shaoyin got up in time and walked outside the screen, and he continued to greet the guests, in order to take care of the wind for the two people in the screen. After the early moment, those diners gradually dispersed, Du Shaoyin had to do is to clean up the table and prepare for the upcoming lunch, business will definitely be very good these days, he must prepare in advance.
At this time, many people began to pass in front of the small restaurant, and many people greeted Du Shaoyin, and Du Shaoyin also responded to everyone with a smile. Today's weather has improved significantly, and the sun shines through half of his face through the clouds, shining those soft and warm rays on the earth.
At this time, the inland river is already full of sails, and hundreds of canopy boats are densely lined up on the river, which is really magnificent from a distance. Du Shaoyin heard the bustle, walked out of the small restaurant and looked towards the river, hey, this meeting is really rare, last year's formation is not as big as this year, it seems that people in the war years can only pin their prayers on those somewhat illusory things.
Whether it is the people on the road or the boats on the river, they are going in the same direction, and the temple with its incense is like the hand of the Buddha constantly waving and beckoning people to gather under its altar.
Xuan Shaoning and Xie Yu walked out of the door and didn't see Du Shaoyin, only to find that he was standing on the shore with his neck stretched and watching.
"Shaoyin, what are you looking at!" Xuan Shaoning didn't wait for Du Shaoyin's response, he was also shocked by the scene in front of him, the river was full of boats that had already filled all the original waters, and what could be seen with the naked eye was that only the boats had no water surface anymore. No wonder I encountered so many canopy boats by the river this morning, and the boat bosses were preparing so early, it turned out that there was such a grand festival. Looking at the land, it is also crowded, and the people are bustling and crowded on the streets that are not wide in the first place.
"What's going on?"
"I see that you have been in the Mobei military camp for too long, so long that you have even forgotten the New Year festival in the capital!" Du Shaoyin quipped: "Don't you see everyone going in one direction!" ”
How could Xuan Shaoning not see it, the direction in which people go is the direction of the national temple Tianfu Temple, and this New Year's Festival is the activity of going to Tianfu Temple to pray for blessings before the New Year every year. Being reminded like this, Xuan Shaoning finally remembered that it would be the New Year in three days, and the people of the capital had always believed that the first incense stick of the New Year would bless them and their families with a year of safety and disaster.
"The first incense stick of this new year is still early, right? Aren't there two more days? ”
"It's not that there have been frequent wars in the past year, Daliang has been in the midst of various wars, the capital almost fell a few months ago, and many of the people here have relatives in other states and counties, and since the land was occupied by the Tang Dynasty, this news has been blocked." Du Shaoyin said with unwillingness: "Later, because they couldn't bear the enslavement of the Tang Dynasty, many people near the city fled to the capital, and they also needed some psychological comfort. ”
The more turbulent the era, the more people are willing to rely on these gods and ghosts, which is not unusual, Daliang is a country that believes in Buddhism, and the people are quite devout about Buddhism. Do you believe it yourself? If you don't believe it, then isn't the previous series of actions a joke? Xuan Shaoning remembered the peace charm that had been hidden in his arms, and subconsciously stroked his chest, empty, yes, this peace charm has been taken off by himself.
"Shaoning, you can also go and have a look." Seeing Xuan Shaoning looking at himself a little blankly, Du Shaoyin said: "It's not that I have to believe anything, I am now more determined to tell myself that I can only believe in myself, but can't I also seek a trace of peace of mind in Tianfu Temple?" Isn't what people want is their own peace of mind? If everyone's prayer for the Buddha can be fulfilled, then the world will be turned upside down, and everyone is just placing a belief in themselves, and then supporting themselves to persevere no matter what difficulties they face in the coming year. ”
Xuan Shaoning was also impressed when he heard Du Shaoyin's words with a little Zen, and wanted to joke that Du Shaoyin had the potential to escape into the empty door, but the words were still held back when they came to his mouth, and after thinking about it, he finally refused, "So many people are flocking to the same place, I still don't want to join in the fun, our actions still need to be discussed with Senior Brother Shen Ming, let's hurry up and get down to business." ”
"Senior Brother Shen is here too?"
Xuan Shaoning nodded and said, "There is also Duan Lang!" Let's get together tomorrow, I'll bring them to you, I think your business will be very good in a few days. ”
"Hey, I'm just dressing up, and the harder I work to make money, the less people will be targeted! Shaoning, let's just agree, I'll get busy first. ”
Xuan Shaoning turned his head to Xie Yu and said, "You can join in too, don't waste such a good business, let's make an appointment to meet tomorrow evening, and I'll go back to Senior Brother Shen and them first." ”
Walking in the opposite direction, walking in a different direction from almost everyone, Xuan Shaoning felt a little chic, which was a feeling that he had never felt before. Xie Yu had already told him where Shen Ming and them lived, and on the way, Xuan Shaoning actually passed by a temple, which was the royal temple of Daliang, Daqinglong Temple.
