"Hehe, thank you Xue Xing for your help last time, if you are free, you can go to the other courtyard outside the city, and then the king will definitely do his best to help you draw a portrait." Zhao Yan also said with a smile, the last time the West Garden was gathered, thanks to Xue Ning'er for helping to provide a bridge poem, and then the other party spoke for him several times, so Zhao Yan's impression of this Xue Xing has changed greatly.

"Thank you for the invitation, the slave family will definitely visit the house then!" When Xue Ning'er was talking to Zhao Yan, her eyes swept over the cold beauty beside her, intentionally or unintentionally, and her face seemed to be a little proud, but the cold beauty didn't react, as if she didn't have any interest in Zhao Yan, a great painter who has been in the limelight in recent days, which made Xue Ning'er a little disappointed.

Zhao Yan also sat down with Su Shi and others at this time, and then he first introduced Cao Song and Hu Yanping to the other party, Su Shi and others had also heard of these two big gentlemen in Tokyo, and they all nodded a little coldly to the two of them, and did not talk deeply, Cao Song and Hu Yanping had long been used to this.

Next, I saw Su Shi pointing to the fat monk next to him and introduced to Zhao Yan: "The king of the county, this monk is called Yuan, and he is one of the best friends in the next, not only proficient in Buddhism, but also quite accomplished in poetry and songs. ”

"Amitabha, the poor monk has come to see His Royal Highness the King of the County!" As soon as Su Shi's words fell, the fat monk of Liyuan also immediately stepped forward and saluted, although he had just arrived in the capital, he had also heard many rumors about Zhao Yan, and he was also very curious about Zhao Yan, the legendary county king.

"Hehe, the great monk doesn't have to be polite!" Zhao Yan also said with a smile, and at the same time had some doubts in his heart. He remembered that Su Shi did have a very good monk friend, but the other party seemed to be called Buddha Yin, not this Yuan. Could it be that Su Shi has two monk friends?

In fact, what Zhao Yan didn't know was that Monk Liyuan was a Buddhist monk who had a good relationship with Su Shi in history. The original Dharma name of the Buddha Seal Monk was called Yuan, and later after his death, he was given the title of "Buddha Seal Zen Master" by the imperial court, so later generations also called the Yuan Monk Buddha Seal, and over time, no one remembered his original Dharma name.

Zhao Yan exchanged a few words with Yuan, and suddenly turned his mouth and asked: "Great monk, your Dharma name is Yuan, just now I heard the little novice in the temple say that there is a monk who is preparing a meal for us, and just now Brother Zizhan also called this a fragrant feast." But I'm still confused, who can tell me what the hell is going on? ”

Seeing Zhao Yan's wry smile, whether it was Su Shi or Cao Song and others, they all looked up and laughed together, and after a while, they saw Su Shi take the lead and said: "The king of the county doesn't know, although there are seventy-two main stores in Tokyo, and there are countless foot shops, although these stores also have some good dishes, but when it comes to the taste of the dishes, the taste is the first." But the incense feast in this Xiangji Temple, although it is only a vegetarian dish, it is more delicious than any mountain and sea delicacies! ”

"Not bad. Although the Xiangji Banquet is all vegetarian dishes, it is the top banquet in the entire Tokyo city, and these dishes are all from the hands of Master Kong, but although Master Kong likes to cook, he usually doesn't do it lightly, and he will only do it once a month, and he will only go out with nine invitations each time, no matter who gets the invitation, he can come and taste his vegetarian dishes. Because this kind of banquet is only held in the Xiangji Temple, it is also called the Xiangji Banquet. At this time, Cao Song also added with a smile. He didn't tell Zhao Yan before, just to surprise him. In addition, he had to work hard to get those three invitations.

"Hehe, the empty brother and the poor monk in the Baoji Temple under the daily Zen master seat to learn Buddhism, the poor monk at that time did not taste his cooking skills, but unfortunately after a farewell years, the poor monk has not tasted the cooking skills of the younger brother for a long time, this time I have the fate to come to the capital, naturally to have a full stomach." Monk Liyuan also laughed at this time and said, his Dharma name and Likong were both given by the daily Zen master of the year, and he was a real brother, so the Dharma name was so similar.

Zhao Yan finally understood what the so-called Xiangyu Banquet was when he heard this, and at the same time he also had some understanding of the empty monk, but he didn't expect that a monk would like to cook, and just by making vegetarian dishes, he could compare with the famous chefs in Tokyo City, which made him can't help but have some expectations for the empty monk's cooking skills.

Only nine people were invited to the Xiangji Banquet each time, and Zhao Yan and the three of them had already had Su Shi and other six people before they came, plus the three of them were just nine people, which means that all the people who participated in the Xiangji Banquet this time were all there, and everyone was an acquaintance, so they chatted quite speculatively.

While speaking, Cao Song secretly introduced the beautiful woman beside Xue Ning'er to Zhao Yan, and Zhao Yan was very surprised that this cold woman turned out to be Yan Yuru, who was known as the first line in Tokyo, no wonder Xue Ning'er inadvertently showed a little provocation to her just now, and it seems that the competition between these two lines is also quite fierce.

Yan Yuru is not only cold, according to Cao Song, the other party's Qinggao is also famous in the entire Tokyo city, although she is a green * building woman, but usually do not see guests, want to see her can only make an appointment in advance, only when she is in a good mood, will occasionally see one or two guests, and they are all talking about two sentences will send guests, very few guests can listen to her play a song, it is said that the piano skills are quite popular, in addition to Yan Yuru Some of the poems that circulated are also quite extraordinary.

Speaking of which, most men are really cheap sometimes, the more Yan Yuru is so upright and cold, the more sought after by the nobles and scholars, many people are proud to be able to see her, if they can hear each other play a song, it is enough to make a person instantly become a news figure in Tokyo City.

Originally, Xue Ning'er's talent and appearance were not below Yan Yuru, but it was Yan Yuru's cold temperament, plus Xue Ning'er herself was also a little greedy for money, as long as the starting price from the guests, she would not be stingy to see the last face or play a song, as a result, those scholars had a much lower evaluation of Xue Ning'er, and in the end it could only be called the second line in Tokyo. But he didn't seem to care about this at all, and he didn't pay attention to Xue Ning'er's provocation.

After listening to Cao Song's introduction to Yan Yuru, Zhao Yan couldn't help but glance up at the other party, only to see that this first line was still sitting there quietly motionless like when he came in just now, looking beautiful, but like a white jade beauty, Zhao Yan really couldn't be interested.

Li Gonglin, who rushed to sit next to Zhao Yan, seemed to hear Cao Song's words, and then he also came over and smiled: "The king of the county may not know that although Yan Yuru is not shy about ordinary men, but a heart has been tied to another man, and when he learned the news, he was also very sad!" ”

"Oh, this is strange, I don't know which great talent can make Yan Xing fall in love?" Before Zhao Yan could speak, Cao Song next to him asked with a gossipy face, what he liked was a beauty like Xue Ning'er, and he was not very interested in the iceberg-like Yan Yuru, and when he heard that the other party had a man he liked, he was just curious.

"Hehe, who else could it be? We came here to taste the empty cooking, but this Yan Xing is here to see the empty side! Su Shi also suddenly came over and interjected at this time, and when he said the end, his face also showed an extremely regretful look.

"What, a woman in Qing*lou actually fell in love with a monk?" Zhao Yan was taken aback again when he heard this, he thought that this kind of thing would only appear in novels or TV series in later generations, but he didn't expect it to appear alive in front of his eyes now.

"Your Royal Highness, don't underestimate my junior brother, he is not only superb in cooking, but also in terms of Buddhism and talent are above the poor monks, and the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all excellent, even my teacher praised him ''' The bones are like snow sinus, and the later handsome', plus the junior brother was born with a good skin, and it is normal to attract some women in the world, the teacher was most worried about his sadness, but the junior brother is very persistent in the heart of the Buddha, I think this Yan donor may only be sad in the end. The great monk Yuan didn't know when he came over and interjected.

However, Li Gonglin did not agree with Yuan's final assertion, only to see him glance at Yan Yuru and said in a low voice: "That's not necessarily, although Likong is dedicated to the Buddha, but now after all, he is still a mortal fetus with a flesh * body, and he also has seven emotions and six desires, and it is difficult for a woman like Yan Yuru not to be moved, for example, in the incense banquet in the past few months, every time an invitation will be sent to Yan Xing, and Yan Xing also participates every time, such an obvious thing proves that there must be a private relationship between the two of them!" ”

Everyone has a heart for gossip, even if it is a great talent like Su Shi and Li Gonglin, not to mention that the content of gossip is still related to the love between a monk and a line, so they chatted more energetically, and fortunately, this Zen room is relatively large, plus Yan Yuru is arrogant and sits far away, so I didn't hear their discussions.

Zhao Yan had already heard a lot of this kind of gossip in the later life, plus he was not familiar with Yan Yuru and Likong, so he didn't care much about it, and glanced at the meditation room a little bored, but at this time, Yan Yuru, who was sitting there like a jade, also suddenly raised his head, and as a result, the two eyes met in the air, out of politeness, Zhao Yan showed a friendly smile to Yan Yuru, but he didn't expect the other party to still have that cold appearance, and didn't say anything, which made Zhao Yan a little depressed, I didn't expect that my charm was not as good as that of a monk.

At this moment, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the door of the meditation room, which made Zhao Yan feel refreshed, and now he really wanted to see what the legendary monk looked like? (To be continued)
