Chapter 70: A Snowy Night
The spring cold is really powerful.
Heavy snow covered the entire Hokkeji Temple, but after an hour, the whole world was once again covered in silver in winter.
The monks in the monastery are busy boiling hot water, and at the same time, they also have to arrange accommodation for the few pilgrims who are stranded on the mountain.
Gu Qinghuan sat on the edge of the charcoal basin while roasting the fire, while looking at the snow outside the window that still did not stop.
If it weren't for Zhang Tingyu, she and Yaqi would have to sleep on the streets.
"Qinghuan."
Yaqi poured two cups of hot water and walked over, and also went to the side of the charcoal basin to roast the fire, approached Gu Qinghuan, and asked, "Are you familiar with that Zhang Gongzi?" ”
"He's not bad, he looks good, whose son is he? It seems like... It's quite rich. ”
Yaqi and Gu Qinghuan went out today, only bringing the sesame oil money to be donated, as well as a little bit of scattered copper coins.
To live in a monastery, it is not enough for them to be entangled.
Although most of the monks in the monastery have the virtue of a good life, but... It is estimated that it is already kind to be able to arrange a firewood room. The best upper room, and the charcoal fire... That's impossible.
"He is Zhang Ying's sister-in-law."
Gu Qinghuan said: "Zhang Ying... Is it the secretary of the Ministry of Engineering and the head of the Hanlin Academy, or... James's at James House. In the past, I was in the Ministry of War, and I was also in the Ministry of Rites. ”
Well... It's still a champion.
In the past, when writing essays, Gu Qinghuan often wrote the story of Zhang Ying's Six Feet Lane as material.
“…”
Yaqi was dumbfounded when she heard this, and it took a while for a while to grow up and say, "Zhang Gongzi... The background is so good. ”
Isn't that the same character as the legend!
"How did you know each other?" At this moment, Yaqi's gossip heart was like a surging river, and she continued to ask busily: "He seems to be pretty good to you." ”
Among such people, the dragon and phoenix, I feel envious when I think about it.
"Do you remember when I was almost thrown out of the palace by that father-in-law?"
Gu Qinghuan said: "It's him who saved me." ”
So, in order to satisfy Yaqi's curiosity, Gu Qinghuan told all about some of his contacts with Zhang Tingyu.
At the end, I didn't forget to add: "Zhang Gongzi is indeed a very good person, with a noble identity and outstanding character." It's just..."
It's just that the ancients still had a very strong class concept.
She and Zhang Tingyu should be good if they can simply be friends.
"That sounds like that... It's pretty good. ”
Yaqi thought and thought, and then asked, "What about himself?" Do you have a reputation now? It's one thing for a man to have a good background, but it's another thing to have the ability to do it. ”
If you don't learn and don't know how to do it, no matter how big your family business is, you're going to lose it, right?
"He..."
Gu Qinghuan thought for a while and said, "I don't know about this. But he looks elegant, he must have read a book, right? ”
Speaking of which, Zhang Tingyu is also quite famous. In the future, I will also become a big official, although I am young now, but it shouldn't be bad, right?
"That's right."
Yaqi thought about it for a while, and said, "Everyone's son, brother, I have been going to study in the school since I was a child. has a bit of talent, how can you get a fame and get an official. ”
After saying a lot of words, the sky outside was already a little dark.
There was a gentle knock on the door at the door, and Gu Qinghuan hurriedly got up to open the door.
"Two donors."
A little monk stood at the door, holding a food box in his hand, and said to Gu Qinghuan: "This is tonight's meal." The snow was falling heavily, and there were not enough people in the monastery, so there were only two side dishes. ”
"Two donors, let's use it first. In addition, the coachman you are at the bottom of the mountain, the small temple has arranged for someone to go down to inform him, he will repair at the bottom of the mountain for one night, and tomorrow he will pick up the two donors to go back. ”
Gu Qinghuan listened to everything and arranged everything, and immediately felt a lot more relieved.
"Thank you very much."
Gu Qinghuan folded his hands, bowed back like a monk, and after taking the food box, he turned around and followed Yaqi to eat together.
Although there are only two dishes, the good thing is that the portions are very large.
The dishes were also fresh, so I quickly ate all the two bowls of rice.
After dinner, the two people sitting on the edge of the charcoal basin talked about Tong Jiayue again.
Tong Jiayue's whole mind was to ask Aunt Yuehua about Yinzhen. I don't know if this afternoon, after the two of them were taken away, did they succeed?
OK...
There was no accident when they came to this Fahua Temple, otherwise they didn't know how to deal with it.
The snow outside the house still doesn't mean to stop.
But it seems to be much smaller, and it is not as raging as it was in the afternoon.
It's just that... It's still cold.
The charcoal fire had been burning for an afternoon, and it had become very faint by this time. Gu Qinghuan glanced at the little bit of charcoal that was left on the side, and he didn't know if he could last a night.
Luckily, the quilt is thick enough.
"Miss Gu?"
Zhang Tingyu held an umbrella and carried a basket of charcoal in his hand, so he came over and knocked on the door.
He saw that the candle flame was still lit inside, and he thought that Gu Qinghuan should not have stopped yet.
"Zhang Gongzi?"
Gu Qinghuan was very surprised, and after opening the door, a gust of wind was about to pour into the house.
Gu Qinghuan didn't wear much clothes when he went out, and he shivered with cold immediately.
Zhang Tingyu hurriedly moved his body, trying his best to block the wind and snow, so as not to blow to Gu Qinghuan.
"I still have a lot of charcoal, thinking that you two girls are weak, so I will use it for you."
Zhang Tingyu smiled, handed the umbrella to Gu Qinghuan to hold, and then took off the big coat on his body, and said, "This is also for you to use." ”
"It's cold, don't freeze."
“…”
Although Gu Qinghuan felt that it was not good to accept it like this, she was indeed too cold.
Just a moment after opening the door, the snot was already about to flow out.
"Thank you."
Gu Qinghuan took the charcoal fire and clothes, hurriedly returned the umbrella to Zhang Tingyu, and said, "You can go back quickly." The snow is strong and the wind is strong, and it blows on the clothes, and when it gets wet, it will be sinned. ”
"Hmm."
Zhang Tingyu bowed, and didn't have any intention of staying, turned around and left.
Gu Qinghuan hurriedly closed the door and immediately wiped his snot.
I just went blind in the dark, and I don't know if he saw it? Fortunately, he walked fast, otherwise he would have died of embarrassment when the snot came out...
The wind was too strong.
Zhang Tingyu went out far away, and his own servant found that his son-in-law was missing, and he was ready to come out to look for it.
"Childe, where have you been?"
The little guy Ah Yue opened his mouth wide, looked at Zhang Tingyu and asked, "What about Da Yu?" ”
"Gave it away."
Zhang Tingyu replied lightly, took out a bunch of money from his purse, and said, "The charcoal fire in the house is gone, let's see if I can buy some back." ”
"Huh?" Ah Yue said: "Didn't I buy a lot in the afternoon, and this is gone?" ”
"If you are told to go, you will go, okay?"
