In the living room, chatting about some homely things, the night was getting deeper, and Ming said that he was still busy with the affairs of the levy, Zheng Renji called, the servant came in, obeyed the order, led Han Rui, came to the well-furnished guest room, said goodbye, and closed the door.

The light in the room is not very bright, a little soybean oil green lamp, only illuminates the table three feet square, the rest of the room, all dim and hazy, faintly see the outline of the bed furnishings.

On the palace banquet, I drank a lot of wine, and I was a little drunk, and now it was night again, and I was more sleepy, with the soybean oil light, I identified the direction of the bed, blew out the lights, took off my robe, approached the bed, and a warm aroma came to my face.

Large households, the use of incense, spices and the like, Han Rui has become accustomed to it, naturally he will not feel any different, the fatigue and drunkenness of the body surge, it seems that he can no longer support it, and he threw himself into the soft and comfortable silk jacket, and suddenly, a deep sleepiness hit, and he fell asleep in an instant.

The next morning, after all, he was a guest in the Zheng Mansion, and he didn't want to give people the impression of being lazy, almost instinctively, when the eastern sky showed a touch of fish belly white, Han Rui woke up leisurely, turned over and got up, got dressed, and pushed the door out, only to find that the servant maid was already waiting outside the door with water and a scarf.

As expected, Han Rui secretly praised himself in his heart, washed up briefly, came to the hall, and found that Zheng Renji was already among them, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and greet him, Zheng Renji nodded and beckoned gently, and his own maid served an elegant breakfast, Zheng Jiachongdao, to be exact, Cui's and Zheng Nao made an appointment, so the meals of Zheng's mansion are naturally vegetarian and light in taste.

Han Rui has no opinion on this, although he is not a vegetarian, but he is not against vegetarianism, and to be honest, the catering in the Tang Dynasty cannot be compared with later generations, even if he tastes the delicious meals carefully cooked by the chef, Han Rui rarely praises, not because the taste is not good, but because he feels that something is missing.

Everything is a habit, anyway, it's just a vegetarian, light, and it's not that he doesn't eat it, Han Rui naturally doesn't care, he accompanied Zheng Renji for breakfast, chatted for a while, and wondered if he would say goodbye and go back, and notify Qian Xu to come over to discuss the matter of accepting the levy, maybe it was because his wish came true, and there were servants outside to report, and Qian Xu and his wife came.

"Shicai, I sent someone to invite them over." Zheng Renji explained, did not slack off, got up and went out to greet him.

Han Rui went out with him, only to find that it was not only Qian Xu and his wife, but also a dozen or so servants, who picked and shouldered, plus a few carriages, boxes and gift boxes, and the weight was not light.

"Zheng Sheren." Qian Xu saluted and said with a smile: "I'm here to disturb again, don't blame, don't blame." ”

"When you come to the door, it's too late to welcome, how can you blame the reason." Zheng Renji smiled, waved his hand and asked the servants in the house to come forward to help unload the gifts, and then greeted Qian Xu and his wife to the living room with a smile on his face.

After greeting for a while, Cui's heard the news and came out again, discussing the climate and food and clothing issues, and expressing their concern to each other, and then turned to the topic. At this time, there was nothing to do with Han Rui, and Cui said lightly: "I want to go to Jingyunguan to pray for blessings, if you are free, you may as well accompany you." ”

Ha, I can't ask for it, but it's disrespectful, Han Rui nodded immediately, walked away happily, and went out of the gate, but saw Zheng Naoyue already sitting in the carriage, poking his head slightly, on the elegant jade face like the rain of the empty mountain, his expression was tranquil and peaceful, and his temperament was dusty, just like the fairy of Yaochi in the mortal world.

Han Rui smiled brightly and walked up quickly, but heard Zheng Naoyue say, "The carriage is full, you sit in front." ”

Well, Han Rui was surprised, peeked through the curtain crack, and found that there were indeed two people inside, but they were Liuyi and the painting screen, curled up in the corner obediently, with a light head hanging down, and a pretty face as pink as a glow, indescribably delicate and cute.

His eyes swept over in a hurry, but Han Rui didn't pay attention to it, let alone think about it, he lamented that his Qingcong BMW didn't come, so he had to sit next to the coachman aggrievedly, with a somewhat panicked expression, after the coachman asked for instructions, he carefully whipped the horse and drove the horse, and the incense car was smooth and brisk, and went away leisurely.

Interested in watching the coachman's driving skills, but soon lost interest, sat for a while, looking at the buildings and pedestrians moving backwards, Han Rui was also quite bored, and tapped the wooden plank of the carriage sideways, only to hear two soft shouts, and after half a sound, Zheng Nao's faint voice came: "Is there something?" ”

It can't be said to be boring, besides, with the coachman by his side, some words are not easy to say, blinking his eyes, Han Rui simply asked knowingly, "What are you doing in Jingyun Palace?" ”

There was another silence, and after a while, Zheng Nao said, "...... Prays. ”

"In this way, how is the incense in Jingyun Palace, is it as effective as the Laojun Palace?" Han Rui said casually, anyway, it was just a conversation, just say whatever you wanted, and after a while, only to find that Zheng Nao's appointment was a little wrong, and he was slow to consider the answer, is he shy, after all, he will get married at the end of the month, and he will inevitably be a little embarrassed.

In thought, the carriage stopped, but when he arrived at Jingyun Temple, Han Rui jumped off the car, looked at one of the top ten famous views of the capital in Zheng Nao's mouth, and found that it was indeed extraordinary, the building was spacious and macroscopic, similar to the Laojun Palace in Lishan, and the pilgrims in and out were endless, and the hall was filled with smoke, which showed that the incense was also quite prosperous.

After a few glances, Han Rui was about to turn around and offer his courtesy, but found that Zheng Naoyue had already gotten out of the carriage, wearing a white dress as elegant and clean as clouds and snow, a graceful and elegant face like a fairy, a snow muscle and jade skin like jade, a light and graceful slender figure, full of natural carving beauty.

Next to it are two beautiful girls with a flowing firefly and a picture screen, one with a crystal face, skin like snow, extremely delicate, and the other is delicate and pretty, a little shy, delicate and cute, standing around Zheng Nao, just like the bright moon and the star, reflecting each other, so that everyone present is all taken by it, and they are all watching.

There are many pilgrims, the eyesight of the Taoist priest who welcomes the guests is naturally extraordinary, no matter how bad it is, it can be seen that the people who come by the incense car are definitely not ordinary people, and the distinguished guests are coming, how can they not be warmly received, thinking in their hearts, the action is not late, and they quickly stepped forward to check their heads, and said with a smile: "The son and the lady are polite." ”

"We're here to pray for blessings, can you arrange an ashram." Liuying said, her voice as crisp and smooth as ever, but it was too shy to say that she didn't have it.

Yes, how could it not be, the welcoming Taoist priest nodded hurriedly, his smile was even stronger, he stretched out his hand and led them to the temple, the main hall in the front yard is the Sanqing Palace, the East Wing Patriarch Palace, the West Wing Wealth God Palace, the middle of the backyard is the Zhenwu Palace, the Wenchang Hall in the east, the Yuelao Hall in the west, plus the Yuanjun Hall in the middle, there are so many buildings in a Taoist temple, and it can be regarded as complete.

If someone asks, how can gods such as the God of Wealth and Yue Lao have anything to do with Taoism, this question is worth studying, but it is not within the scope of Zheng Nao's consideration, and it is almost unsurprising that the Taoist priest who went to the Yue Lao Hall to welcome guests naturally satisfied the wishes of pilgrims and believers.

Soon came to the west of the old hall of the moon, picked a spacious, clean and elegant quiet room, Zheng Nao about the three of them walked in, their faces showed a look of satisfaction, Liu Ying also handed over a small bag, saying that it was donated to the old moon incense money, the Taoist priest pushed it, accepted it, and left with a smile.

Han Rui turned around, too lazy to look at this kind of thing, carefully admired the scriptures hanging in the quiet room, only to see that the font was thin and charming, and there was a kind of clean and beautiful charm, as if it was from the hand of a woman, this conclusion made Han Rui a little surprised, and hurriedly looked at the payment, but it was the word Xiyin, and in a daze, the scene in the stone cave immediately appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but think about it in his heart.

reacted, Han Rui hurriedly shook his head, but overheard Zheng Naoyue say: "If you don't agree, you won't succeed, when praying for blessings, some girls' private words are not suitable for you to listen to." ”

In a daze, Zheng Nao drove out of the quiet room about half-pushed and half-pulled, the door was closed, and the sound of squeaking came, obviously locked from the inside, Han Rui scratched his head lightly, and accompanied him with great interest, but it was also pitiful to end up like this.

Han Rui didn't want to leave, so he simply hesitated in front of the door, walking back and forth, if it weren't for the fact that people often passed by in the corridor, whispers came from time to time, the voice was extremely slight, vague, and faint, as if mentioning his name, which made Han Rui's heart itch and couldn't wait to eavesdrop on the window.

"This son...... It's you! ”

At the right time, a nice voice came from his ears, Han Rui stopped and looked, but it was the beautiful female Taoist Li Xiyin of the Pilgrimage Palace, I saw that she was wearing a green robe, tied with silk around her waist, and her well-combed hair ran across the Qiong hairpin, the simple Taoist robe could not hide her slender and graceful figure, her skin was white and soft like coagulated fat, and her every move was simple and natural, and her temperament was elegant.

Before Han Rui could appreciate it carefully, Li Xiyin's pretty face was already full of anger, his willow eyebrows were slightly raised, his heroic spirit was naturally revealed, and he said coquettishly: "Get out of the way, don't get in the way." ”

Obediently retreated a few steps, Li Xiyin snorted, the light and elegant aroma passed, and then floated back, only to see Li Xiyin seemed to be a little angry, knocked on the door of the quiet room in front of Han Rui, half a ring, Zheng Nao's question came, Li Xiyin replied, the door opened quietly, and when the female Taoist priest entered, it closed again.

Han Rui didn't dare to make a mistake, leaning lightly on the railing of the promenade, doubting in his heart, Li Xiyin was not her female Taoist priest in the Lishan Pilgrimage Palace, why did she come here, uh, although this is also a Taoist temple, but it is someone else's territory, and it is in the city, noisy and noisy, where is there a mountain that is comfortable and quiet, at least Han Rui thinks so.

Could it be that Taoist temples are similar to chain stores, implementing a shift system, staying here for a few days and staying there for a few days...... Han Rui guessed randomly, and when he suddenly came back to his senses, he found that half an hour had passed, but he saw that the door was not moving, and there was no sign of opening, so he sighed lightly, and was ready to wait patiently, but unexpectedly, he only heard the sound of the bell, and the door opened, revealing a beautiful little face that was both shy and happy, his eyes were bright and timid, and he whispered: "You can come in." ”

Han Rui hesitated slightly, entered with a smile, and came to the quiet room, but saw Zheng Nao and Li Xiyin sitting opposite each other, and when he saw Han Rui's figure, his reaction was different, one smiled gently, the other had sharp eyes, and he questioned as soon as he opened his mouth.
