Chapter 461: The Priest and the Maiden

Ruan Dacheng, who loves opera, helped the sick body to prepare to drink medicinal soup in Zhang Yuan's room, and heard that Cao Yu sent a maid over, and couldn't help but perk up.

Zhang Yuan is not as simple and lustful as Ruan Dacheng, the things he thinks about are much more complicated, the decisive knife and blood and tears of the beautiful dancer at last night's banquet made him have another idea about this trip to North Korea, of course, this is just an idea, whether it is feasible depends on the development of the situation, at this time, if you allow two North Korean maids to be by your side, wouldn't it be asking for trouble, so he refused, and by the way, Ruan Dacheng was also represented-

Captain Jinyi Wei went and returned, and said, "Judge Yu and Join Jin want to come in to visit the condition of the two angels. ”

The Celestial Empire is different, foreign envoys stay in the Beijing Pavilion and are not allowed to go out when they are idle, while Zhang Yuan lives in the Datong Pavilion in Pyongyang, and high-ranking North Korean officials must first obtain Zhang Yuan's permission to see him.

Zhang Yuan thought to himself: "It's not good to see no one all the time, that is equivalent to putting yourself under house arrest." He nodded and said, "Yes, please." ”

After a while, the Korean state ceremonial Cao Shen Yu Yan and the scrivener Jin Zhongqing came in, Zhang Yuan got up and saluted them with blank eyes: "I suddenly felt dizzy and dizzy in the morning, obviously down-to-earth but like a cloud-"

Jin Zhongqing was much more familiar with Zhang Yuan, and hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Zhang Xiu, please take a seat, please take a seat, Lord Ruan, please sit down." Turning his head to Yu Yan, he said: "It's really hard to travel for more than a month, Zhang Xiuzhu is from Jiangnan." In the past, I used to go out by boat, but this is the first time I have traveled a long way on a horse. ”

Judge Yu deeply understood: "It's hard, the two angels are really hard, and they have a good rest first, and Uncle Liu Guo will come to greet the two angels in the afternoon and explain the accident at last night's banquet." ”

Zhang Yuan said lightly: "Please come back tomorrow Uncle Liu, I am not in good spirits today." I'm afraid of being rude. ”

Judge Cao Yu and the clerk Jin Zhongqing glanced at each other, and Yu said: "Then the lower official will reply to Uncle Liu Guo like this." ”

At this time, the medical officer of the Pyongyang Prefecture said to Zhang Yuan and Ruan Dacheng: "Two angels. Please drink this medicinal soup while it is hot. As he spoke, he held a bowl of medicinal soup to Zhang Yuan, and another bowl to Ruan Dachengβ€”

Judge Yu shook his head and said, "The two angels refuse to ask the women of Xiaobang to serve. It is really inconvenient to live in a sojourn, and the lower officials are courteous to Cao Cao's judgment, and they feel that the reception is not good, and they are terrified, so they implore the two angels to allow the female music to be happy for several generations, how about it? He added, "Although these four women who have been selected to serve the angels are of low status, they are all innocent virgins."

Zhang Yuanxin said: "What about an innocent virgin, can I still take it back to Beijing after I go to bed, Yao Zongwen and others will make me troubled, how can officialdom act rashly." And I, Zhang Jiezi, am not so. ”

Zhang Yuanjun resigned, and Yu Senju and Jin Senjun had no choice but to leave.

After the medical officer also left, Ruan Dacheng put the bowl of medicinal soup on the small case in front of him, and said dissatisfiedly: "What kind of famous prescription left by Da Changjin is simply difficult to eat." ”

Zhang Yuan smiled: "Brother Ji." Is there a North Korean beauty who feeds you a spoon and takes a bite to eat? ”

Ruan Dacheng smiled and said, "Hard, hard." He shook his head and went back to his room.

Zhang Yuan didn't drink the bowl of medicinal soup, and splashed it outside the window to nourish the flowers and trees, and outside the window was planted a row of hibiscus as a fence, which was only three feet high, and the weather was at the end of April of the lunar calendar. Some early-blooming hibiscus has bloomed buds, the petals are white, the core is bright red, the "Book of Songs" has a cloud "there is a lesbian car, Yan is like Shunhua", Shunhua refers to the hibiscus flower, you can see the beauty of this flower, but at this time Zhang Yuan looked at the white petals and red stamens of the hibiscus flower, what he thought of was the bloody blade inserted in the white chest of the dancing girl-

"Hatred and loneliness, rugged hazel song. The mountain stream is clear and shallow, and you can wet my feet ......"

Outside the courtyard wall on the west side of the Datong Pavilion, someone is singing poetry, his voice is old, but it is quite penetrating, and the sound of poetry is accompanied by the sound of the beat of the bamboo cane hitting the ground, Zhang Yuan stood in front of the window with his hands and listened.

"Wet my newly cooked wine, and the chicken moves closely. The sun enters the room in the dark, and the salary is replaced by a bright candle. The joy is short, and it has returned to Tianxu. ”

This is the fifth poem of Tao Yuanming's famous "Returning to the Pastoral Home" group of poems, Zhang Yuan has always liked Tao poems, in this foreign country heard someone singing Tao poems in Chinese, he felt quite cordial, and thought: "This is the poem of the pastoral hermit, and the person who recites Tao poems is a Korean hermit?" ”

The hibiscus flowers bloom lonely, the sound of poetry outside the wall has been quiet, the Daedong Hall is located at the northeast end of Pyongyang, not far from the Taedong River, listen quietly, it seems to be able to hear the sound of the river rushing.

Zhang Yuan showed paper and polished ink, writing "Ding Si Joseon Chronicles", last night's dancing girl's self-stabbing was too abrupt, he did not record it immediately, and then he could put down the pen -

Just after grinding an inkstone, the captain of the Jinyi guard guarding the door and a North Korean general came to report, Longshan Jin asked to see Master Zhang, Zhang Yuanxin said: "My name is Longshan, how can there be a Longshan here?" ”

I listened to the North Korean general explained: "Lord Zhang, this Jin Shi is a very famous hermit in our country, and also a famous figure in the Tanjun Divine Sect, born in a famous family, not interested in fame and fortune, and has lived in seclusion in the Yongsan Mountain in the west of Pyongyang for many years, living in a simple place, his whereabouts are ercareless, he has three major skills: divination, acupuncture and swordsmanship - this Jin Shi is a blind man, but the people of our country say that Jin Shi is better than a clear-eyed person, Jin Shi pinched his fingers in the mountains, knew that the two angels were occasionally infected with a small illness, and came to relieve the pain of the angels. ”

The surname Kim is one of the eight major surnames in Korea, which is said to have originated from the ancient Silla royal family, and its status in Korea is slightly higher than that of the cultural Yoo clan, and Danjunjiao is a national religion in ancient Korea.

Zhang Yuan thought to himself: "Blind divination and fortune-telling is a profession, and there is massage, but it is more magical to be able to recognize acupuncture and acupuncture, and it can also be swordsmanship, the art of listening to the wind in Liang Yusheng's martial arts novels?" ”

Zhang Yuan asked the North Korean general: "This Jin Shi was invited by Uncle Liu?" ”

The Korean general said: "Uncle Liu Guo didn't know that Jin Zhishi would come, Jin Zhishi was withdrawn and arrogant, if he refused to come, Uncle Liu Guo would also be forced to him, Jin Zhishi was the demeanor of the envoy of the Mutian Dynasty, so he came out of the mountain." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Okay, please ask Zhen Qianhu to go to welcome the gold officer on my behalf." ”

About half a tea time, I heard the sound of a bamboo cane knocking on the ground, Zhen Zidan accompanied Jin Shishi, Zhang Yuanying came out of the corridor, he only informed Ruan Dacheng, Ruan Dacheng did not get the North Korean virgin waiting, he was dissatisfied, I heard that a blind man came, and refused to go out of the room to see him.

Jin Shishi is of medium height, nearly fifty years old, wearing a traditional Korean black gauze broad hat, wearing a high-waisted white robe, high forehead and convex cheeks, ancient appearance, looking at the sky with both eyes, a yellow-spotted bamboo cane in his hand fanning the ground, and following Zhen Zidan's side with a small but fast stride-

Tai Chi Sect Master Wang Zongyue whispered beside Zhang Yuan: "My lord, this blind man is a practitioner, be careful." "After last night's dancing girl stabbed herself, Wang Zongyue is more vigilant, he is Du Shen will spend two hundred taels of silver to protect Zhang Yuan's envoy, if Zhang Yuan has some accidents, he Wang Zongyue's brand of the famous boxer will be smashed, and he will not be able to mix up the apprentice darts in the future.

Zhang Yuan just heard from the Korean general that this Jin Shi is good at swordsmanship, and then squinted his eyes to look at the approaching Jin Shi, because of optic nerve atrophy, sunken eye sockets, and the appearance of blind people all over the world is somewhat similar, Zhang Yuan didn't see the difference between this Jin Shi who explored the path with a bamboo cane and other blind people, and at this time he didn't have time to ask Wang Zongyue, and stepped down the stepsβ€”β€”

Zhen Zidan said: "Priest Jin, our Lord Zhang has come out." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Mr. Jin, Zhang Yuan, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, is polite. ”

The golden priest took a few steps forward, bowed to Zhang Yuan with a bamboo cane, and said, "The grass people Jin Shiyi visit the angel." ”

Fang Cai also thought of the technique of listening to the wind in Liang Yusheng's novel, and when he heard the name Jin Shiyi, Zhang Yuan also felt interesting, and said: "Priest Jin, please come to the small hall to speak." ”

Jin Zhishi said: "The angel of the kingdom, the leader of the country, the reputation of the world, now thousands of miles to the country, the grass people and the gentry of the country are as honored. ”

In Korea, proficiency in Chinese was a symbol of noble status for the nobility, except, of course, for the general affairs, who made a living from it.

Zhang Yuan smiled, he identified that the golden priest was the person who recited Tao poems outside the west wall of the Fangcai Pavilion, and immediately entered the hall.

While speaking, the golden priest followed Zhang Yuan to step behind the hall with three steps, although he explored the way with a bamboo cane, but his movements were never slow, Zhang Yuan only then saw that there was a beautiful girl beside the golden priest, also a black gauze hat, high-waisted white robe, although it was a North Korean man's attire, but did not deliberately hide his woman's appearance, the eyebrows were thin and raised, the eyes were black and white, the tall and delicate Yao nose, long eyelashes, pointed chin, and the demeanor was so moving, the bright sun in May shone through, and you could see a layer of fine and gentle cold hair on the girl's neck-

Zhang Yuan's eyesight was very good.

The golden priest sat down, and the girl stood behind the golden priest.

Mr. Jin got straight to the point and said: "The grass people are familiar with the Chinese medical skills, and when they learned that the angel was ill, they didn't take the liberty of it, so they recommended themselves to come for diagnosis and treatment, can they take the pulse of the angel?" ”

Zhen Zidan, Mu Jingyan, and Wang Zongyue shook their heads at Zhang Yuan together, although they guarded Zhang Yuan strictly, this golden priest gave Zhang Yuan a pulse at close range, if he didn't have good intentions, it would be difficult to guard against it.

Zhang Yuan signaled that everyone should not worry, the Korean country is not Longtan Tiger's Den, or there is no reason to hurt the Ming envoys in the struggle for power between the Li royal family, this Jin Shi will not come to see him just to treat him, there must be another reason, and said: "Then there is a Lao Jin Division, please sit on my left side." ”

The golden priest came with a cane, and the girl followed inseparably.

Zhang Yuan's left hand rested on the ebony coffee table, with a cloth bag under his wrist, and the golden priest gave him a pulse, Zhang Yuan knew that he was not sick, and looked at what the golden priest said.
