Chapter 223: The Secret of Heaven and Earth is Deep

The sage had no choice but to ignore this resentful Yuandong Hou, and led the way straight to Yanxing Gate, down the city wall, and went straight to the Nalan Empress Beiye in Shengpingfang.

"You have a good place, no worse than that kid's Gongchuan" The first sentence of the sage when he saw Empress Nalan was to praise Beiye and belittle the taste of the Marquis of Far East.

"This place is still selected with the help of the sage, it is not bad, but it is too carved compared to the Gongchuan industry, and it is less fresh and natural" Empress Nalan looked at the lover full of displeasure, although she didn't know what provoked him, but she also supported her lover.

The saint smacked his lips, just remembering that the demon wolf Tianxing was in love with the phoenix princess, but he forgot that this Nalan Empress was also poured ecstasy soup by that kid, and the two of them advanced and retreated together like glue, and this Nalan Feiya's strength to protect her lover was also sour.

The saint's teeth ached for a while, and then he said, "Is it really a woman's mismatch?" The queen still misses you a lot, and the Ayaqi Palace will always stay with you, so it doesn't matter when you want to live."

"That is, the female is not staying, staying and staying to become an enemy," Dugu said compassionately.

The saint was speechless, and Nalan Feiya also glared at the lover, which meant that why didn't you go to the table.

Dugu Xinci understood in seconds, so he said, "Today is Duan Huai's landlord's treat, I don't want to go with them, I just want to come back and eat some fresh side dishes, but they are cheeky to follow, but they called a banquet outside."

Nalan Feiya also knew the reason why the lover was unhappy, because he wanted to have a casual lunch with him, but he was disturbed by the saint, and his mind was also happy, but he still said, "The saint is the first time to come to a certain class, he should be entertained well, and the lord of Duan Lou called him to the banquet, it is his business, and the heart of a certain class should still be fulfilled."

"It's still a little phoenix who knows how to count etiquette," the sage praised.

"That's right, other people's rudeness can't be unreasonable" Dugu Xinci nodded, and still went to the kitchen to clean up a few dishes.

Duan Huaiben's shot was still extraordinary, and he ordered thirty-six dishes full, and delivered them in less than an hour.

Dugu Xinci looked at it and sighed, "It's really a waste of you, well, it's not bad, and the dinner of a certain class has also been settled."

There are not many people brought by the sage, Feng Yuanyi and two hairpins, Pei Min with two guards, Duan Huaiben only brought two companions, and Dugu Xinci only had Sun Chuhong and Nalan Feiya on his side, even if Du Shasha, Da Xiong and Ah Dog were added, thirty-six dishes were more than enough.

Dugu Xinci also prepared four or five dishes, and immediately removed more than a dozen dishes from the delivery, especially two large plates of prawns.

Everyone watched speechlessly at the Far East candidates, and they were very disdainful.

Fortunately, there are enough dishes, and Duan Huaiben deliberately did not call for wine, and said confidently that the wine in the restaurant is as authentic as that of Yuandonghou?

"What you said makes sense, well, a certain will sell a good burning knife on your twenty altars, ten through one altar, and two hundred sincerely" Dugu Xinci is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"Your shameless appearance really makes you want to beat you up before you can relieve your anger," sighed the sage.

"Okay, so-and-so has half a jar of unfinished wine yesterday, so let's make do with it?" Dugu Xinci naturally does not blush.

Duan Huaiben was helpless, took out two hundred yuan of flying money and handed it to Dugu Xinci, and Dugu Xinci asked Da Xiong to move out the drinks.

"If you can't finish drinking, you can take it away," Dugu announced with kindness.

"That's nature," Duan Huaiben said casually.

"Tell me so, are you serious? You really don't have a little heart, huh? Dugu shook his head again.

"What's going on?" Duan Huaiben asked in a sullen voice.

"Can you give it to the saint generously? Or save it here and wait until you come back and you don't have to buy any more wine? Dugu Xin said with hatred that iron is not steel.

"You really have a lot of routines" Duan Huaiben was speechless, and the sage sighed for him.

So Dugu Xinci happily greeted Nalan Feiya to taste the dishes full of people, all of which were carefully renovated by the chef of Xinglou, the taste was naturally not bad, and the appearance was also gratifying.

"But these dishes that you personally rectified taste better" The sage commented, Dugu Xinci didn't make much effort, and reorganized it at will, a kung pao chicken, an aphrodisiac scrambled egg cake, a fish-flavored shredded pork, a stir-fried Chinese cabbage, and a bowl of pork liver soup with pineapple vegetables.

"Well, the sage's eyes are like torches, these dishes that the Far Eastern Hou personally renovated are really good, I heard that the chefs of the Star Picking Tower are all the skills taught by the Far Eastern Hou himself, it seems that the Far Eastern Hou still has a hidden hand" Duan Huaiben also praised, and said a word in passing.

Qi Guogong Feng Yuanyi snickered, and said in his heart This Duan Huaiben Langjun really has less to do with the Demon Wolf Tianxing, it is rare to not know the temperament of the Far Eastern Hou who does not take revenge overnight, and his counterattack will make you knock out the front teeth and swallow the blood, and you have to nod and say thank you.

Sure enough, Dugu Xinci said lightly, "The master leads the door, and the cultivation depends on the individual, well, this is the problem of talent, but also the distance between genius and talent, and the difference between authentic and cottage." Also, this spring breeze and night rain building is also explained by a certain hand, don't you want to learn to be out of shape? ”

Duan Huaiben was immediately stunned, yes, he patronized and said that he had picked up the Star Tower, and he forgot about his Night Rain Building, the chef of the Star Picking Tower was his art, and the rules of the Night Rain Building were also formulated by this Far Eastern Hou, so what if there was a difference in taste like this?

"The genius of the Far Eastern Hou is also, how can a mortal of some kind compare with him? Come on, a certain and the Far East Hou poured wine, and wished the Far East Hou a prosperous official fortune and a wide range of financial resources" Duan Huaiben immediately got up with a smile and poured wine.

Child, you said the wrong thing again, Feng Yuanyi sighed secretly.

Immediately, Dugu Xinci changed his face, "Do you mean that all the money is from being an official for corruption?" Can a prosperous official fortune make a lot of money? The saint is here, and after hearing it, does he not doubt the integrity of so-and-so? ”

Duan Huai couldn't wait to give himself a mouthful, what did he do to provoke this demon wolf?

"Don't provoke that demon wolf if you have nothing to do, Feng Daban knows this very well, you see, he is silent when he is with the Far Eastern Hou now"

"Hehe, silence is golden, silence is golden" Feng Yuanyi said with a smile, looking very self-contained, and the words were also very demonic wolf style.

"This seafood porridge was just told to them, I didn't expect it to be rectified, it tastes good, you taste it" Dugu Xinci ignored them, and his lover scooped a bowl of porridge.

"This sauerkraut fish tastes not authentic, only the vinegar taste is sour, it is a waste of sauerkraut, tomorrow I will go and get some sauerkraut and come back to make it myself"

"The lamb chops are fried old, it should be sprinkled with white sesame seeds to be more fragrant, this black sesame seeds are not soaked in sesame oil, bad reviews"

"These things look good, but the taste is too ingenious, back to the pot meat fried meat is actually a taste, this is the style of the restaurant, too processed, the pursuit of standard taste, no personal style, hey, will be a little bit, at night a few dishes back to the pot, to ensure that the taste is different"

Everyone listened to Dugu Xinci's dislike of this and that, and they were all thunderous.

All of them are splendid people, and they don't get tired of eating, but they can't really tell the dishes of the top restaurants in Chang'an so transparently.

Full of wine and food, the saint is also busy and leisurely, naturally he will not stay for a long time, and in the afternoon he will receive foreign guests and hold a pre-imperial meeting in the Daming Palace?

The saint ate the white food, returned happy, and did not forget to take away the five jars of wine.

Duan Huaiben invited guests but fell into a heart disease, always doubting whether the progress of Yeyulou's learning would be out of shape, leaving the remaining five jars of wine, only taking two jars, and leaving in a huff.

Dugu Xinci grabbed Sun Chuhong, an old man and a young man moved two chairs in the afternoon, made a coffee table, went to the hillside to bask in the warm spring sun, looked at the flowery Chang'an City, and chatted about the story of Chang'an City, which was very pleasant.

Sun Chuhong's name of Taishi Gong is not given for nothing, isn't it said, there are only wrong names, and there are no inappropriate names.

Sun Chuhong admired the builder of Chang'an City, the former Sui general master Yu Wenkai.

Regardless of the magnificent Chang'an City, he once built a large tent that could accommodate thousands of people. The palace can accommodate hundreds of guards, and the wheel axle is installed under the palace, which can be quickly disassembled and assembled. He once suggested that the Ming Hall should be built according to the ancient system, "the lower hall is a square hall, the hall has five rooms, the upper part is a round view, and the view has four doors", and once made a model out of wood, which is very ingenious.

Dugu Xinci admired his ingenuity very much, and the two of them also studied the allusions of Chang'an City.

For example, each wall of Chang'an City has three gates, following the Han system. The layout is both ingenious and dark and ancient: there is a temple in the southeast corner of the imperial city, and there is a temple in the southwest corner, which is the "left ancestor and right society". On both sides of the imperial city, there are thirteen squares in the north and south columns, symbolizing that there is a leap in a year, and four squares in the east and west are in the south. It means that there are four seasons in a year, and there are nine rows of squares in the north and south, which are taken from the system of "Zhou Li" Jiukui. And the management of the fang is based on strict control as the idea: the fang is surrounded by a wall, and only one door is opened on each side, while the south of the imperial city is only open to the east and west two doors in the four columns of 36 squares, some people say that they are afraid that the door will be opened to vent the king's anger, and the more real reason is to ensure the safety of the imperial city.

In short, Chang'an City has become a model in the history of capital architecture with its grand scale, careful design, rigorous system and orderly layout. The majestic and magnificent Chang'an is the ultimate of Chinese classical civilization.

Nalan Feiya sat aside with a book in her arms, and when she was tired of reading, she listened to the old and the young talking about the arguments, and she was also happy.

"I heard that there is a Vermilion Bird Array in Chang'an City, and there are traces of the six trigrams of the Qiangua, but I don't know if this Vermilion Bird Array is really true?" Dugu Xinci asked.

"The Vermilion Bird Great Array actually started in the Zhenguan period, in those years, the sage of Taizong had repaired Chang'an City, Yan Liben and Yan Lide brothers presided, the Yan family father and son have all been craftsmen, and they have made great achievements in building technology, but this Vermilion Bird Great Array does have no traces to check, but as far as a certain know, it should exist, it is said that the formation is set up by Huashi, and the Far Eastern Hou does not know?" Sun Chuhong was talking about the Tao.

"Huashi has never talked about the Vermilion Bird Formation in Chang'an City with a certain person, and various formations of the Four Elephants and Five Elements have been taught, but after a certain person came to Chang'an, he checked the Vermilion Bird Formation passed on by Huashi, but he still couldn't understand the essentials."

"That is, the eye of the array is falsely said by the Chinese teacher, or the Chinese master is too cautious, and he will abide by his promise and not divulge the royal secrets, the launch of this Vermilion Bird Great Array can only be completed by the royal family, and those who know the secrets are afraid that there are only two or three people in this world, and the saint naturally knows, and the royal guardian Yan Tianqi should also know part of it, and it is rumored that there must be a minister of the humerus who knows, but I don't know which one? Yao Chongxiang? It's not, he is proficient in martial arts but doesn't know how to use magic, and neither is Song Jing, and several powerful ministers such as General Wang Maozhong, Young Eunuch Jiang Jiao and others have no signs."

"There are more than 1,000 civil and military forces in the Manchu Dynasty, and there are not a few people who are worthy of the saint's entrustment of royal secrets, so there is no need to speculate, but now that it is a peaceful and prosperous era, Elder Sun may not see the spectacular scene of the activation of this Vermilion Bird Array, and it is impossible to be afraid" Dugu Xinci sighed.

"That's right, the launch of the Vermilion Bird Array represents the coming of troubled times, and now it is comfortable and leisurely, and it is still hoped that it will not be started" Sun Chuhong didn't care.

For dinner, Dugu Xinci also forced Elder Sun to drink and feast together, and returned a few dishes left at noon to the pot, sure enough, the taste was different, Elder Sun ate very happily, drank a few more glasses of wine, and Dugu Xinci asked Ah Gou to drive him back to his house.

"Are you really interested in this Suzaku Array?" Nalan Feiya drank the tea made by her lover and asked quietly.

"Well, just talk about it casually, you can't hide from this royal secret," Dugu replied.

"Oh, but if you marry so-and-so, you can't hide this secret," Nalan Feiya sighed.

"Huh? Thou shalt say..."

"The third person who knows this secret is the father of so-and-so, the father of so-and-so once said that he would not pass on his daughter, but he has no brother or younger brother, I am afraid that it will only be passed on to his son-in-law?"

"Ah, can you tell the saint to find another person to inherit?" Dugu Xinci asked with a bitter face.

"Do you say that the saint will believe that so-and-so's father did not reveal it?" Nalan Feiya sighed.

"Okay then, but the Vermilion Bird Great Array needs a spell to activate, so you can't cast a spell? A certain father wouldn't have a problem, would he? "Dugu is kind and worried.

"What so-and-so father? Probably not, right? Nalan Feiya wasn't sure.

"Well, so-and-so's father won't stop so-and-so because of that, right?"

"He dares" Empress Nalan is domineering, and she is also unceremonious to her father.

So Dugu Xinci was greatly moved, and the two lingered for a while before resting.

In the next few days, Dugu Xinci was very leisurely, after a circle of Wannian County in the morning, he took Sun Chuhong to the city tower to see the scenery when he had nothing to do, and had time to go to Qingchuan Huashi University for lunch, and then Shi Shiran returned to Chang'an after a tour of Guangyuntan, and then accompanied Nalan Feiya to have a love dinner in the courtyard to see the stars.

In the past two days, Dugu Xinci did not go to the Star Tower, nor did he see Duan Huai's main building to make noise, he was very clean, and he only sighed that he would not change his money every day.

Until the morning of the sixth day of the first month of April, he arrived at Wannian County, Zuo Xuandehou was right, and the Furong Chicao Market opened today.

Then Duan Huaiben, who hadn't seen him for a few days, also appeared, and Feng Ping, who picked up the star building, also came.

"Lao Feng, those Rausch stars are still eating and drinking in the restaurant?" Dugu ignored Duan Huaiben, but asked Feng to take care of things.

"Fortunately, the food can be full for these two days, but two jars of wine per person every day is not enough, but there are many little ladies in the restaurant every day, all of whom come to watch them," Feng Ping said with a smile.

"In two days, the team of Kuixing Pavilion is about to gather, there are not enough seats for external business, and no matter how big the impact is, it will not increase much profit, it is better to drive them to the Datang Club, where is the place big enough, and there are things to play, let them go to play mahjong" Dugu made a decision unscrupulously.

The secret of heaven and earth is deep, and who measures the subtlety of the mind.

Only the dantian is outside, and the void is full of shadows.
