Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Wang Chengen came and knocked on the door. Guocheng got up with his sleepy eyes open, opened the door and said to him: "Shhh 6-year-old children, when they are growing their bodies, sleep more, it is beneficial. ”

Wang Chengen hurriedly said: "But today the emperor summoned you." ”

"When?"

Wang Chengen scratched his scalp: "I didn't say it, I just said it in the morning." ”

"Ah," Guocheng said, "the emperor hasn't been to the early court for 3o years, and he definitely didn't get up so early." Besides, with Concubine Zheng accompanying the emperor, no matter how early we go, we have to wait outside obediently. It's better to wait until the emperor and grandson have slept enough before going. ”

Wang Chengen thought about it, nodded, and withdrew. Guocheng was completely sobered up by this trouble. He thought, he couldn't sleep anyway, so it was better to visit this ancient temple, after all, it was a century-old temple. Guocheng's later generations were very keen on demolishing the old and building new ones and forging monuments, and it was difficult to find even 5o years old buildings, so he was still very interested in the ancient buildings that had been passed down for a hundred years.

He walked out of the dormitory (the room where the monastery received visitors), and now there were many people outside, all of them well-trained, who seemed to be the retinue and bodyguards of the emperor's grandson. He couldn't help but think of the allusion of "floating life for half a day". Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a great official who went to the Buddhist temple to play, and when he parted, he said that he would steal half a day of leisure. The abbot smiled bitterly and said to him, you are half a day free, I am half a day busy. In order to greet him, the temple was busy for a long time. It's the same here, because the emperor and grandson stay outside the palace, so these retinues can't go back.

Seeing Guocheng come out, although these people were surprised, they didn't stop them. Because their responsibility is to prevent the people from the outside from entering, and it has nothing to do with them as to who the people inside come out and why they come out.

The dormitory is on the side of the Tianwang Palace, so Guocheng will visit the Tianwang Palace first. The Heavenly King Hall is naturally dedicated to the four heavenly kings: the Heavenly King of Holding the Country, the Heavenly King of Growth, the Heavenly King of Wide Eyes, and the Heavenly King of Duowen. When Guocheng was observing the pipa in the hand of the Heavenly King, an old monk came over: "Donor, you have come to worship the Buddha." ”

Guocheng was a little strange: "Do you know me?" ”

"The same is the end of the world, why should we have met before."

"Master, the language is Zen machine, I don't know what to do with Xiaoke."

"The son came to worship the Buddha early in the morning, which shows sincerity, I don't know if you have heard of Changchun Zhenren's "Journey to the West"?"

(According to "Journey to the West", it was once falsely rumored to be written by Changchun Zhenren Qiu Chuji, and it was not until someone who loved more truth checked the county chronicles that Wu Chengen's work was confirmed.) ）

"I've watched "Journey to the West", but I haven't watched "Journey to the West".

Childe laughed, these two books are actually one book. Does the son know that when Tang Seng finally sought the true scriptures, he gave the purple gold bowl to Ah Tai and Jia Ye in exchange for the written scriptures? Therefore, it is very important to worship the Buddha sincerely, but the incense money is also very important. When the son comes to the temple early in the morning, he must have a request, and if there is a courtesy, then the Buddha will respond. ”

These words were like lightning illuminating the ground, and Guocheng was suddenly awakened by the old monk: Ceremony, yes, it is etiquette. Zheng Guifei doesn't want to see Ah Jian, but Ah Jian can't help but see Zheng Guifei. She is Wanli's favorite concubine, although she can't say anything, but there are always seven tripods. After so many years, too many difficulties and obstacles have made Zheng Guifei gradually stop her ambition to make her son the crown prince, and she just wants to live comfortably, which can be seen from the eight beauties that Zheng Guifei gave to Zhu Changluo after Wanli's death - although in a sense Zhu Changluo died in this matter. If Ah Jian is asked to give a gift to Concubine Zheng Guifei, although she can't be made to like Ah Jian all of a sudden, at least the relationship can be eased, so that Ah Jian's life in the palace will not be too difficult. Concubine Zheng, who is loved in all kinds of ways, has no shortage of gold or silver, what should she give? In my memory, Zheng Guifei is a native of Daxing, Beijing, by the way, it should be okay to send some specialties from old Beijing. For example, early, like what kind of bean juice, burnt rings, thin crispy, these things are not expensive, there should be no in the court. Sending these foods is not expensive, and it can evoke Zheng Guifei's childhood memories, and it won't seem very deliberate, yes, just send this.

Looking back at the old monk, he was pretending to be a monk with his eyes closed. Guocheng stretched out his hand, shook the old monk's hand and shook it as much as he could: "Thank you, you have helped me a lot." ”

The old monk closed his eyes and smiled, this time he made a lot of money. Look at this little boy dressed luxuriously, must be a rich man's child, although I don't know how to help him a big favor, but the benefits must be indispensable, he wants to shake hands with me, must be to send something to me, this little guy is really a wonderful person, know that it is not good to send it, use this method. Withdrawing his hand, the old monk twisted his palm, there is nothing, is it an illusion? When I opened my eyes, I saw that there was really nothing. It's too much, I don't give money after helping, it's really unbearable for uncles, and it's unbearable for aunts.

Guocheng didn't know this, he wanted to rush back to wake up Zhu Youzhen to buy something. As soon as he walked to the door of the dormitory, he was stopped by a group of plainclothes guards: "You can't go in!" ”

"I just came out of it......"

"You can't go in!"

"I'm a good friend of the emperor."

"You can't go in!"

Guocheng saw that the guards did not enter the oil and salt, and he also admired their iron-faced selflessness, and the bad things in China were bad because of human feelings: "Then I'll wait outside." ”

"You can't go in!"

"That's what you're going to do!" Guocheng is happy.

After a while, I heard a commotion in the squatter room.

"Brother Guocheng, where did Brother Guocheng go. You people, even my brother Guocheng can't stand it......"

Then I heard Wang Chengen's low voice of consolation, and then there was a crisp sound, probably a teapot. Later, when I saw Wang Chengen rushing out of the dormitory, I should have come to find myself.

As soon as Wang Chengen arrived at the door, he was stunned: "Little ancestor, why did you run out, you see that the emperor and grandson are in a hurry...... What should I do if I want to do something in a hurry? ”

Guocheng pointed to the guard at the door, making a helpless expression.

Wang Chengen glared at the guards, and was about to open his mouth to reprimand them, when Zhu You came out, he choked up when he saw Guocheng: "Brother Guocheng, didn't you say you wouldn't leave, why do you want to leave again." ”

Guocheng comforted: "If the manly husband says he won't leave, he won't leave." I got up early in the morning, afraid of waking you, so I went to this temple for a walk. I heard that Yu Qian, a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, used to come here to worship the Buddha, and I am following in the footsteps of the sages. ”

Hearing these big words, the guards and Wang Chengen rolled their eyes for a while: "You just pull it down, just play, and pull out the sages as a pretense, so that people can't say that you are greedy for fun." ”

Zhu Youzhen naturally listened to Taiqian, and he said happily: "Then I'll go shopping with you." ”

Guocheng said: "There is no time, we have to rush to the palace, and the emperor is late to blame you." ”

"It's quick to get to the palace by carriage."

"Who said it was in a carriage?" Guo Chengqi said, "It's not easy to go out of the palace, cars come and go, how can you see the suffering of the people." Besides, the emperor and grandson, your illness has not been cured, and walking back to the palace is also one of the wonderful ways to cure the disease. ”

These words finally made the guards and Wang Chengen realize Guocheng's speaking skills, and it turned out that playing could find such a sufficient excuse that it was completely impossible to refute.

Guocheng didn't know the way to the Forbidden City, and it was naturally Wang Chengen who led the way, but where to stop and what to buy were all up to Guocheng, which made Wang Chengen embarrassed. Because in his opinion, Guocheng is a little too freewheeling, there are few people in some places, Guocheng just pulls Zhu Youzhen to hang out, and in some places there are many people, Guocheng just doesn't go to join in the fun. I have the heart to let Guocheng lead the way in front, but he doesn't know the way. Wang Chengen looked at the road in front of him, and on the other hand, he had to pay attention to the two little ancestors behind him, don't run anywhere. Wang Chengen couldn't wait to have four eyes at this time, the front two looked at the road, and the back pair stared at Guocheng and Zhu Youzhen.

Of course, Guocheng is not doing what he wants, he is taking Zhu Youzhen to search for Beijing specialties. Wherever the scenery is unique, it is not the focus of their attention, only those small shops selling food are the reason for them to stop. After walking for a while, Guocheng suddenly felt like a black tour guide, specializing in shopping for tourists. Fortunately, there is no tourism bureau at this time, otherwise you will be punished to bankruptcy. No, they have only been walking for less than half an hour, and they have more mountain reds, sugar gourds, melon seeds, and so on. But it's a pity that Guocheng hasn't sold bean juice anywhere so far.

Suddenly, Guo Cheng smelled a strange smell with a little sweet fragrance in the rancid, he was overjoyed, this should be the bean juice stall, and he hurriedly pulled Zhu Youzhen to find the taste. Well, how does this word make it feel like Guocheng has become the four-legged one?

Wang Chengen hurriedly stopped the two: "The emperor's grandson, the prince of the country, this is a bean juice stall." Bean juice is the coarse food of inferior people, how can it get into the mouths of your two nobles? ”

Guocheng said: "Hey, Grandpa Tai was born in cloth, and he has even eaten pearl jade and white jade soup, why can't we eat the bean juice that everyone loves to eat?" ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "There doesn't seem to be a dish of pearl jade and white jade soup in the palace?" ”

"Come, you sit here. We talked while drinking bean juice. ”

Guocheng Lazhu Youzhen sat down in a corner, of course, before sitting down, Wang Chengen found a handkerchief to wipe the stool clean.

The shopkeeper served two bowls of bean juice, a plate of burnt rings, and a plate of finely chopped pickles.

Guocheng was fooled, took a big sip, felt sour and smelly, couldn't stand it, and spit it all out. Zhu Youzhen seemed to be fine, drinking bean juice in small sips, this taste that had never been touched before made him appetite.

Guocheng said secretly: "No wonder everyone says that if you don't drink bean juice, you can tell whether a person is a Beijinger or not. ”

Guocheng looked at the bean juice, shook his head, and no longer had the courage to take a bite, so he picked up a coke ring and ate it.

"Brother Guocheng, tell me the story of pearl jade and white jade soup."

Guocheng cleared his throat and said, "Emperor Taizuwen ...... it"

He is talking about the joke that Liu Baorui, the king of stand-up comedy in later generations, said that Zhu Yuanzhang fainted in a broken temple during a battle, was woken up by two people named Huazi, and gave him a mixed rice cooked with leftover vegetables. Zhu Yuanzhang asked these two people, what is the name of this rice, and the two of them made up nonsense, pearl jade and white jade soup. Later, after Zhu Yuanzhang settled the world, he was tired of eating the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and remembered the pearl jade and white jade soup he had eaten when he was young, so he invited the two of them to make this dish and feasted the ministers.

When Guocheng finished telling the story, a thunderous cheer sounded around. It turned out that before I knew it, the people around me were already listening to the story, and everyone was listening to the story with bated breath, until this moment did they shout loudly, and some people shouted: "One more, one more." The copper plate fell on Guocheng's desk like rain. Guocheng looked at it, and there were still scattered pieces of silver in it.

Guocheng is secretly proud, his cross talk level is not bad, and he actually has fans. He bowed to everyone and said, "Our brother is just borrowing the place to chat, not a storyteller. I have something important to do today, and next time I have the opportunity, I will talk to you about my new jokes. ”

When everyone heard this, they had no choice but to give up. Guocheng pointed to the table, Wang Chengen willingly cleaned up the money on the table, and counted it, there were 2,432 copper plates, and the broken silver was not weighed. Wang Chengen was overjoyed, the crown prince was not treated by the emperor, the prince's mansion was naturally insufficient, and the pocket money of the emperor and grandson was even less. Although the soup and food of the emperor's grandson and servants were provided by the palace, it still cost money to reward the subordinates and buy books and sundries. Wang Chengen has to make careful calculations every month to ensure the use of the emperor and grandson. This windfall made Wang Chengen overjoyed.

"This money belongs to Brother Guocheng, and it should be separated from our money." Zhu Youzhen thought about it, afraid that Guocheng would misunderstand, and added, "Brother Guocheng's money is not enough, so he will take it from our money." But we don't have enough money, so we must not use Brother Guocheng's. ”

Guocheng smiled and said: "Our brothers don't have to be so clear, with me, the emperor and grandson will only think more money, not less money." ”

While collecting the money, Wang Chengen muttered: "Bragging." ”

Guocheng didn't explain, and said: "Let's go, you clean up, buy 6 bowls of bean juice, 6 plates of shredded pickles, 6 plates of burnt rings, 6 plates of thin crisps, 6 sets of pancakes and fruits, and divide them into 6 food boxes." ”

Wang Chengen's face suddenly turned into a bitter melon, and these 6 things and those 6 things cost a lot of money. But Wang Chengen didn't dare not do it, firstly, the money belonged to Guocheng, and secondly, Zhu Youzhen trusted Guocheng very much, so he had to go to the stall owner to settle the bill.

"No money."

"What, you don't need money to buy these things, what's this?"

The stall owner smiled: "The story told by the little boy just now is so good, and many customers came to the shop at once, and they ate a lot of breakfast." The little boy has helped the shop recruit so many customers, how can he still collect your money? ”

Wang Chengen asked his entourage to pack things in a food box, and he caught up with Guocheng and Zhu Youzhen out of breath, and said, "Money, money, ......"

Guocheng was shocked, remembering that the silver in the Ming Dynasty was very valuable, the money was not enough, could that store be a black store?

Wang Chengen took a breath and said, "The shopkeeper said he didn't want money." ”

Zhu Youzhen said with a smile: "Brother Guocheng, your charm is so great, you don't even need to give money for dinner, it seems that you can walk sideways in the entire Ming Dynasty." ”

Guocheng said modestly: "Where, where." ”

The two were talking happily, when a girl's delicate voice came from behind: "Two little brothers, wait for me." ”

The two turned around and saw a little girl about 6 or 7 years old chasing after them. The little girl was born so well that she had a black and shiny head with two ring-shaped buns coiled on it; The skin is white and tender, and it is almost blown apart; A pair of eyebrows curved like willow leaves, very delicate; Underneath is a pair of eyes like black grapes that seem to be able to speak; Under the small, straight nose is a red cherry lips.

The two couldn't help but stop. Guocheng asked, "Is there anything wrong with this girl?" ”

"Your story is so good," the little girl grunted angrily, "can you tell me another story in the future?" ”

"Okay, where do you live, I'll look for you later."

"I live in Wenchang Palace Hutong, my father's name is Ke Yintian, my name is Ke Qingqing, you must tell me if you have the opportunity in the future."

"The inn is green and willow-colored, a good name, as soon as I hear your name, it is like seeing the scenery of spring."

The little girl said happily: "That's what you think, that's how my father explained my name." ”

The little girl followed the two of them and laughed and laughed until the little girl's family came to find them, and then she reluctantly said goodbye to the two.
