Night slowly falls, the bustling Kaifeng City is not silent because of this, the street lights are lit up and shouted one after another, it seems to be much more lively than the day, since the curfew was canceled in Kaifeng City last year, the night of Kaifeng City suddenly burst out of unimaginable vitality, from the beginning of the palm lamp to the dawn of the next day, the entire Kaifeng City has been active.

Zhao Yan sat in the carriage and walked while enjoying the night view of Kaifeng City, although it has been a few months since he crossed to the Great Song Dynasty, but this is the second time he walked on the streets of Kaifeng City at night, the last time was after beating Wang Xu, he entered the palace, and when he came out, it was already a willow on the moon, but at that time he was worried about Princess Bao'an's illness, so he had no intention of appreciating it at all, and now Princess Bao'an has been separated from Wang Xu, and Zhao Yan has nothing to worry about, and his mood is naturally completely different.

Accustomed to seeing the night scene of the city with neon lights flashing in later generations, Zhao Yan also felt very novel about the night scene of the ancient capital thousands of years ago in front of him, only to see the shops on both sides of the street pù with lanterns at the door, the guys at the door to greet the guests, the food stalls on both sides of the shop pù are also steaming, now it is the meal, almost every stall is surrounded by a lot of customers, the scholars in shirts and the peddlers and pawns in short coats and open chests are all mixed together, although the identities are different, but they do not affect each other.

"Third brother, don't look at it, when the Lantern Festival is over, Kaifeng City will be really lively, it's still early, plus the weather is cold now, and the street is a lot depressed, and I can't even find a little lady, there is nothing to see at all." At this moment, Cao Song in the carriage suddenly spoke, in order to thank Zhao Yan for painting him a portrait last time. Therefore, Cao Song had a treat today, and the place of the treat was also very mysterious, he did not tell Zhao Yan in advance, and even deliberately chose to enter the city at night, which made Zhao Yan also very curious.

"Brother Jiu'er, the place where you are invited will not be a Qing*lou, otherwise why do you have to wait until the evening to go out?" Zhao Yan also shifted his gaze from the outside at this time, and then looked at Cao Song and asked with a smile.

"Hehe, third brother, you guessed wrong this time, the place where the ninth brother invited guests was not the Qing* Building. Instead, it's a temple. At this time, Hu Yanping, who was sitting next to him, also said with a smile. He and Cao Song have always been in and out of pairs, if it weren't for the fact that they both only like women, Zhao Yan would probably think that they have some ulterior relationship.

"Temple? Are you two mistaken, could it be that you invited me to see the monk at night? Zhao Yan said a little angrily when he heard this. If you go to the Qinglou. Although he prides himself on being clean. But for the sake of Cao Song's face, he didn't mind getting acquainted, but it would be a bit too much to go to the temple to see the monk. On such a cold day, he might as well go home and sleep.

Seeing Zhao Yan's unwilling expression, Hu Yanping and Cao Song looked at each other and smiled: "Third brother, don't worry, who said that you have to see a monk when you go to the temple?" The temple we went to this time not only had delicious food, but also beautiful women. ”

"Food? Belle? Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, "Aren't all monks vegetarians, where do they get the food?" As for the beauties, it's even more impossible, hey~, wait, you two won't take me to a temple full of nuns, right? ”

Zhao Yan finally thought of a possibility, and guessed with a lewd smile on his face at the moment, he remembered that some female Taoist priests and nuns in ancient times were under the guise of monks, but in fact they were similar to the brothels of Qing*lou, and doing those things under the noses of the gods and Buddhas could arouse the pleasure of men's taboos, so the business of these female Taoists and nuns was better than that of ordinary prostitutes, and of course the price was more expensive.

However, as soon as Zhao Yan's words fell, he got the unanimous disdain of Hu Yanping and the two, and saw Cao Song even more righteous and said: "Third brother, how can you think so badly, this time I took you to a serious temple, and the monks in it are only monks, but you must not underestimate this temple, others can't get in if they want to, I also took a lot of effort to get three places, as for today's beauty, it is not simple, you will definitely be surprised when you see it!" ”

Hearing Cao Song's words, Zhao Yan was even more curious, he really couldn't think of what kind of temple would be so good, even Cao Song and Hu Yanping had to compete for places when they entered? You must know that even the most famous temple in Tokyo is the Daishokokuji Temple, which is open to people.

Zhao Yan was curious, so he naturally couldn't help but ask, but unfortunately Cao Song and Hu Yanping put up a shelf at this time, no matter how Zhao Yan asked, they all said with a mysterious face, "I'll know when I go", and finally Zhao Yan stopped asking, he wanted to take a look, what the hell are these two guys going to do today?

Zhao Yan's carriage crossed the East Cross Street, and then turned south into Baokangmen Street, the world-famous Daxiangguo Temple is on the west side of this street, but their carriage passed in front of the Daxiangguo Temple, did not stop, and then crossed the Xiangguosi Bridge on the Bianhe River, and finally came to the intersection of Baokangmen Street and Quyuan Street, the carriage turned into an alley from here, and then turned around a few times, and finally really stopped in front of a small temple with a small area.

"Xiangji Temple?" Zhao Yan followed Cao Song and the two to get out of the carriage, and then looked up at the plaque on the temple gate, and it turned out that this small temple is now called Xiangji Temple, this name he has never even heard of, and it is the first time to come here.

"Why are you still stunned, let's go in quickly, look at these carriages outside, it is estimated that someone came earlier than us." Cao Song patted Zhao Yan on the shoulder at this time and said, at this time Zhao Yan also appeared, there were already several carriages parked in front of the temple, and several coachmen on the carriages were baking a fire around the corner, and it seemed that their owners had also entered.

Zhao Yan felt that this thing was a little weird today, but since he had already come, and Cao Song and Hu Yanping would definitely not pit him, so he hesitated for a while and finally stepped forward, and then Cao Song personally knocked on the door, and after a while, he heard a burst of footsteps inside, and then the temple door was opened, and a small novice came out of it, first saluted Zhao Yan and the three of them, and then said: "Welcome to the three donors, I don't know if the donors can bring invitations?" ”

"The invitation card is here, please lead the way!" Cao Song stepped forward and replied, and at the same time took out three invitations from his arms, and the sharp-eyed Zhao Yanxian, these three invitations did not have any words on them, just a bald monk, which was completely different from ordinary invitations.

I saw that the little novice took the invitation and checked it, and then saluted Zhao Yan and the three of them again with one hand: "Three of you, please come in, Senior Brother Likong is preparing in the back kitchen, and he can't see guests for the time being, but now there are a few guests here, and the three of them can chat with a few guests and wait!" ”

Xiao Shami said, turned around and led Zhao Yan and the three into the temple, and Zhao Yan took this opportunity to ask Cao Song softly: "Brother Jiu, who is the senior brother of this little novice, listening to the meaning of the other party's words, it seems that the dishes we ate today were prepared by this empty space?" ”

"Hehe, this master of the void is not an ordinary person, you will know when you see it, and there are already a few guests here today, maybe there are our acquaintances among them." Cao Song, this guy can sell Guan Zi to kill people in a hurry, and the angry Zhao Yan really wants to kick him.

Xiao Shami took Zhao Yan and them through the front hall, and then turned a few corridors, then Zhao Yan appeared, although the area of this Xiangji Temple is not large, but the building inside is extremely exquisite, the corridor pavilion is also unique, the use of the small space here is very reasonable, so that Zhao Yan actually has a sense of winding paths.

After turning the two courtyards, Zhao Yan and they finally came to the door of a meditation room behind the Xiangji Temple, only to see that the lights were bright inside, and there were faint voices of some people, and when Zhao Yan and they entered the meditation room, it turned out that there were four men and two women sitting in the room, and what surprised Zhao Yan even more was that he knew more than half of the six people.

"Brother Zizhan, Brother Ziyou, Brother Boshi, why are you here?" Zhao Yan said with some surprise, he knew three of the four men, namely Su Shi, Su Zhe and Li Gonglin, and the other man was a fat monk, who looked like he was only about thirty years old, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and he sat there with a natural monk's bearing.

As for the other two beautiful women, one of them is Xue Ning'er, who is known as the second line of Tokyo, and now he happened to look at him with a smile, Zhao Yan had no choice but to smile and nod to her, and when he saw the second woman, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, only to see that the other party was wearing a simple white dress, his hair was combed with cloud temples, his skin was like condensed fat, his eyes were like autumn water, and his slender eyebrows looked like distant mountains, and he was also a big beauty who captivated the country and the city, and there was more of a cold air than Xue Ning'er, under the reflection of the moonlight, It looks like a fairy in the Moon Palace.

"Haha~, just now I talked to Bo Shi about the painting of the county king, but I didn't expect the county king to also participate in this incense feast, what a coincidence!" Just as Zhao Yan was looking at the unknown beautiful woman, Su Shi also came over and said with a smile.

Hearing Su Shi's words, Zhao Yan woke up in shock, and immediately smiled and arched his hand to Su Shi: "It turns out that this place is called the Xiangzhu Banquet, and I just found out that today I was invited by my friend Cao Yanei, so I came here. ”

As soon as Zhao Yan's words fell, Li Gonglin and Su Zhe also stepped forward to say hello, and the fat monk had been standing with Su Zhe, it seemed that they should be acquaintances, but before they could introduce each other, they heard Xue Ning'er, who was sitting opposite them, suddenly smiled and said: "Your Royal Highness, you still owe a painting to the little woman, I don't know when you can paint for the little woman?"
