Chapter 178: Soaring
It's actually a female crown! In an instant, Han Rui immediately realized that the problem was here, along the way, the pilgrims he met were mostly women, and the pilgrims enshrined in the pilgrimage palace were not only goddesses and immortals, but even the Taoist priests stationed in the palace were also women, no wonder some people mentioned the pilgrimage palace with such strange expressions, as if they were squeezing their eyebrows and smiling.
Han Rui naturally knew that the Tang Dynasty was one of the most prosperous dynasties of Taoism, and at the beginning of the founding of the country, Emperor Li Yuan took Laozi, the ancestor of Taoism, as his ancestor, established Taoism as the state religion, and set the national policy of Taoism first, Confucianism second, and Buddha third, which also led to a long-lasting dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, and even involved Confucianism.
This will be mentioned later, because the royal family worships Taoism, the atmosphere of Taoism in society is particularly strong, so it is not a strange thing that there are more and more female surnames in Taoist temples, at least Han Rui is very sure, Zheng Naoyue must have this idea in his heart, but there is no chance to implement it.
No, just in case, I have to persuade her to throw away the Zhuangzi later, Han Rui planned in his heart, but he listened to the conversation between the female crown and the Zhang family in his ears, senior aunt, could it be that the Zhang family was also a female Taoist priest back then?
"I delayed for a while in the Laojun Palace." Zhang smiled: "What's the matter, I've only waited for a while, and I'm impatient." ”
"How dare Shein." The beautiful Taoist priest chuckled and said, "But it was the senior sister who was in a hurry, thinking that the senior aunt was not coming, and we were upset." ”
Li Dexuan frowned and said: "Little girl, let her go back to live, but she dislikes the dampness at home, and now that A-Niang is here, she doesn't come out to greet her, it's really more and more rude." ”
"What, are you counting your sister?" Zhang asked, his eyebrows were slightly raised, his eyes were full of anger, and several female Taoist priests with a graceful posture next to him were also dissatisfied.
Suddenly, Li Desheng retreated, so sad that he wanted to cry without tears, and said helplessly: "A-Niang, I'm speaking for you." ”
Zhang's lesson said: "As an elder brother, even if your sister is a little different, you should talk to her well, and don't blame her at every turn." ”
"That's it, I don't have the demeanor of a brother, Bai Chang is so handsome......"
"Hee-hee, when you see someone handsome, you don't want to scold? Is it worthy of Senior Sister Pian? ”
"I hate it, but people don't have it."
Several young female Taoist priests, or slender and graceful, gentle and graceful, or bright and beautiful, aura compelling, or sweet and coquettish, demure and lovely, each with a beautiful style, whispering, smiling and playful, even more eye-catching, seems to also notice their gaze, Li Dexian's handsome face, quietly emerged a little ruddy, only know how to nod again and again, dare not argue.
Next to her, the female Taoist priest Xiyin explained with a smile: "It's not that the junior sister doesn't want to come out to greet her, but is preparing in the palace...... I want to surprise my aunt. ”
"This kid, get ready to be playful again, Shein, what tricks is she going to play." Zhang complained, but the favor between his eyebrows couldn't be hidden.
"Hehe, senior aunt, I can't tell you this, otherwise my sister will investigate it, and I can't afford it." Xiyin said with a smile, the cold color is a little misty, the peach cheeks are like fat, and the snow skin is like snow, and there is a kind of beautiful and refined temperament.
"Okay, it'll be clear when you enter the palace anyway." Zhang said with a smile, with the support of the maid, Yingbu stepped forward, Zheng Naoyue naturally followed him, and Han Rui also had to follow, but unexpectedly, a slender hand stopped him, only to see the beautiful Taoist Xiyin, the smile on the beautiful face disappeared, and returned to the expression of hidden majesty just now.
"This son, the pilgrimage palace only accepts female pilgrims, please forgive me for staying."
Han Rui was stunned, looked back, and found that Li Dexuan and the others, as expected, did not accompany him, and still stayed in place, seeing the contempt in the beautiful eyes of the Xiyin female crown, Han Rui regressed in embarrassment, speculating that in the hearts of others, he was mostly the kind of frivolous boy brother, who wanted to take the opportunity to sneak into the palace to make trouble.
Zheng Naoyue looked back, as if he was a little helpless, Liuying chuckled proudly beside him, waved his delicate fist, and then held Zheng Naoyue and walked lightly towards the pilgrimage palace.
Seeing that they all entered the palace, waited for a while, and still didn't come out, Han Rui was bored, walked to the side of the path not far away, looked at the surrounding scenery, simply pulled out a grass stem, and leisurely braided it.
"What are you doing?" Someone asked.
Han Rui turned around, but what he saw was Li Dexian, looking left and right, but he didn't see anyone else, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "You were talking to me just now?" ”
"Hmph, who else can there be but me here." Li Dexiang said coldly.
Han Rui smiled calmly: "It's strange, you actually came to chat with me." ”
Li Defei was silent, and also pulled a grass stem, torn it off one by one, and suddenly asked: "You and the lady of the Zheng family, is it really that kind of relationship?" ”
"What do you mean by that kind of relationship?" Han Rui said dissatisfiedly: "Haven't you heard that we have set a wedding date and are preparing to get married?" ”
"Nope." Li Dexuan shook his head and said with surprise on his face: "When did it happen?" ”
"It's been half a month." Han Rui said, also in shock, this matter is not spread in the community? Suddenly I woke up, no wonder I attended many banquets, but no one mentioned it to me.
"Oh, congratulations." Li Decheng said, carelessly, obviously not caring about this matter at all.
"Thank you." Han Rui said, frowning quietly, he was riddled with everything, he was negligent for a while, and it was normal not to mention this matter, the problem is, such an important matter, there is no rumor on the Zheng family's side? Perhaps it is precisely because of this that those dignitaries and nobles at the banquet, the great Confucian celebrities, regarded their interactions with Zheng Nao as a young and frivolous rhyme, and did not mention it in public.
It can't be that things have changed, Han Rui was secretly suspicious and impetuous.
"You say, the female crown just now...... What do you think? Li Dexuan asked, looking elsewhere, his handsome face was still so cold and arrogant, but it was more dividend.
Rare, Han Rui temporarily put down his thoughts, observed carefully, and came to a conclusion that Li De was awarded Sichun.
Seventeen or eighteen years old, perhaps it was the first time he came into contact with men and women, his face was still tender, and he couldn't stand Han Rui's gaze, so he was a little annoyed and angry: "Look at what you see, just forget it if you don't want to say it." ”
Han Rui smiled secretly, but said seriously on the surface: "Well, you have a good eye, you are indeed a big beauty, but the surname seems to be a little arrogant, I am afraid it is not easy to conquer, of course, such a beauty, after chasing it, is more accomplished......"
Seeing Li Dexian's dumbfounded appearance, Han Rui immediately stopped speaking, and was straightforward for a while, but he forgot that Li Dexian's relationship with him was not close enough, so he was afraid that it would be difficult to give it.
Pulling off his shirt, Li Decheng regained his calm expression and said softly: "It's not Li Xiyin, it's the ...... on her left, with a round little face."
With a round little face, hearing this, Han Rui looked strange and secretly guessed, could it be that at this time, there was already a fashion trend of plumpness as beauty?
Han Rui thought about it and found some impressions, that young female Taoist priest, with red lips and white teeth, picturesque eyebrows, and a little baby fat on her small face, is not the so-called round, but delicate and bright, Han Rui shook his head slightly, if people know that Li De Award describes himself like this, I am afraid that there is no need to talk about it, this matter will have to be lost.
"What, what's wrong?" Li Dexuan frowned, looking a little nervous.
"It's really wrong, it's really wrong." Han Rui's expression was serious and serious, not intentionally teasing, but kindly pointing out his mistakes, shaking his head and saying: "The little girl is bright and delicate, where is the roundness." ”
"How not." didn't understand it, Li Decheng was anxious, and defended himself: "Do you know who I'm talking about......
"Of course I know who you're talking about, here's the problem." Han Rui asked rhetorically, "Do you know why I said that?" ”
Li Dehui was surprised and thoughtful, but he heard Han Rui smile and pointed: "Women are pleasing to the people, and they also said, everyone has a love for beauty, and the roundness is not enough to show the appearance of others, it will make her ......"
Just as Li Decheng was listening carefully to the teachings, a maid came up and said, "Second son, Madame calls you." ”
"Coming out?" Han Rui stopped and looked back, but he didn't find Zheng Naoyu's figure.
"Where's my aunt?" Li Decheng also asked curiously.
The maid said: "Madame is in the fine house behind the palace, let the maid come to inform her, the lady is also there, please go and get together." ”
"Oh, okay, I'll go." Li Dexuan said, looked at Han Rui, his eyes were complicated, mixed with a little admiration, he opened his mouth to speak, but in the end he couldn't let go of his arrogance, bowed his hand, and turned away.
The maid did not accompany her, but continued: "Dare to ask, but Han Gongzi? ”
"Yes, yes." Han Rui smiled and said, "Could it be that you also invited me to go with you?" ”
"That's true." The maid Ying Ying smiled, her slender hand was slightly leading, guessing that Zheng Nao was also among them, Han Rui naturally would not refuse, she was personable, expressed her gratitude, and walked forward side by side with Li Dexian.
Li Desheng was a little pleased, and continued to ask softly: "Later, if I see her, how should I deal with it." ”
"Simple." Han Rui said without hesitation: "Isn't your sister from the same door as her, using this as an excuse to find out about your sister's situation......
"However, I know everything about her." Li Decheng said.
Han Rui was speechless, and said angrily: "You can ask something you don't know." ”
"What do I not know?"
As if he hadn't heard, Han Rui walked a little faster, and under the guidance of the maid, he bypassed the main hall of the pilgrimage palace from the outside, went straight to the backyard house, and winded down a narrow mountain road, and in a blink of an eye, he came to a lush bamboo forest.
Along the way, the fragrance of bamboo leaves came to the nose, even the air was cool, slowly approaching, bursts of crisp and pleasant girl's laughter drifted with the wind, and after walking a few steps, his eyes suddenly opened up, Han Rui raised his eyes, only to see ten zhang away, through the sparse bamboo shadow, a delicate small building seemed to be in sight.
"Childe, ...... here" Liu Yingjiao called, standing in front of the door, waving her tender white hands, red and fluttering little face, and pink and greasy tender skin, against the backdrop of the quiet and verdant green bamboo forest, she looked extraordinarily delicate.
"The second brother has also arrived." An ethereal and light voice came, and a delicate figure appeared in front of the door, with a glimpse, just like a pearl and jade, pure and flawless.
