Chapter XIII
It's not just the viewer who is restless, but also the red beans.
"I think this Xuanzhen view of people is really getting more and more disagreeable!" Grimacing in the direction of Xuanzhen Temple, Hongdou screamed, and then turned his head to look at Qiao Ran, who was sitting on the small horse and basking in the sun next to the ridge, "Then what adults are coming, why did they drive us here?" ”
"Because the patrol is going to come to see this famous view of Jinling in a few days, it is naturally inconvenient for us idlers to collide with them." Qiao Ran flipped through the book "General Outline of the Thirteen Disciplines of Yin and Yang" in his hand and said.
Qiao Ran had no intention of caring about the old affairs between Su Xun and the Guanzhu, but she knew that Su Xunzhu wanted to see the Guanzhu, and the Guanzhu couldn't avoid it at all.
Now Qiao Ran and Hongdou are arranged to "live temporarily" in a farmer's house on the mountainside of Qixia Mountain.
"This patrol is such a big pomp and circumstance for adults!" Red Bean was very angry about this.
"It's not a question of whether he wants to or not, it's something...... Well, it's probably called sophistication, and if you casually ignore the kindness of others, you just don't know how to lift it. Qiao Ran explained.
She smiled at Shanghongdou's blank look, it doesn't matter if she doesn't understand. There are always things that people don't understand, such as the things in the book in her hand, and she can't understand them. Because of her secret, she tried to understand these things, but maybe this Yin-Yang Division thing didn't have anything to do with her after all, she really couldn't understand it.
"Joe donor, red bean donor!" Xuan Xiang's voice sounded on the other side of the ridge, and then she happily ran here, bringing food to the two donors without having to do morning classes and vest sutras, which was her favorite thing to do.
"I heard it, I heard it!" Hongdou answered her, got up and skillfully spread the cloth on the ground, took the food box in Xuanxiang's hand, and took out the vegetarian food in the food box and spread it out.
The three of them sat down lazily on the edge of the ridge, looking at the direction of Xuanzhen Temple, chatting without a stubble.
"The food is a little cold today, Xuanxiang, did you sneak out to pick flowers on the road?" Hongdou crossed his waist and bared his teeth and claws to seek justice for his own lady, "Let me tell you, my young lady is your honored guest, if you dare to be lazy, I will tell the master!" ”
"Nope." Xuan Xiang pursed her lips, she was still a little afraid at first, but now she is used to Hongdou's tone of voice, and she looks too lazy to pay attention to her, and said to Qiao Ran on the side, "There is someone in the view." ”
"It's the one from Master Dong's house again?" For this matter of Xuanzhenguan, Hongdou thinks that he has felt it very clearly, and when he says this, he can't help but sneer, "Who else can there be besides her?" ”
"It's not Master Dong's family, it's here to deliver fireworks." Xuanxiang grabbed a steamed bun and stuffed it into her mouth, and said while eating, "Tomorrow night...... There will be fireworks in the temple tomorrow night! ”
Hongdou sneered disdainfully: "It's really good to have fun, they are happy to be happy and kicked us out......"
Qiao Ran stuffed the vegetarian bun in the food box into Hongdou's hand, interrupted her next words, and turned her head to ask Xuan Xiang: "Those adults are going to have a banquet in the temple tomorrow night?" ”
"Yes! It's a vegan feast. Xuan Xiang nodded and slipped a little saliva, with a little excitement on her little face, "Guanli started to prepare today, so many vegetarian foods, those adults must not be able to eat......" Because of this, Xuan Xiang became extremely looking forward to the arrival of these adults.
"If you can't finish eating, it won't be yours," Hongdou bared his teeth at Xuanxiang, "I heard that Mr. Storyteller said that the wine and meat stink, and I won't give you anything to eat, don't think about it." ”
"Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road." Qiao Ran glanced at Hongdou with a smile, "I didn't expect our Hongdou to even know this kind of allusion, it's really amazing." ”
"That's natural." The little girl who was praised straightened her chest and said proudly, "I'm Miss's big girl, naturally different from others." ”
Hearing that he couldn't eat it, Xuanxiang's little face immediately took it off and left with a sad face.
The banquet will not change because of the sadness or happiness of a little Daogu, and it will be the eve of the banquet in a blink of an eye.
The mountain road that spirals up from the foot of the mountain to the Xuanzhen Temple is almost full of carriages, and several adults stand in front of the gate and greet the famous people of the local wealthy families in Jinling who are holding invitations to the banquet.
Lord Zhen, who is the governor of the mansion, and Su Cheng, the host of this banquet, are nowhere to be seen.
"What about the two adults?" Someone couldn't help but ask them, "Why didn't you see these two?" ”
"It's already in the view." The adults who were greeting people recognized the person who inquired about them, and said hello, "Master Li, is Ling Gongzi here?" ”
Speaking of this proud son, Master Li was proud: "My family Saburo came here with his colleagues," he said and looked around again, and couldn't help muttering, "This place ...... Why did you choose this place? Not to mention the place of the Dao Gate in the end, just to say that it is comprehensive, how can it compare to my Loei private garden? "This is surrounded by mountains, even the guards are not very easy to guard!
"Su Xun has some friendship with the Lord,......" the lord gave Master Li a look and said, "Mrs. Su passed away a few years ago. ”
It turned out that this Su Xun was also a merry person, but Master Li was stunned, but he didn't say anything anymore. Su Xun pressed this identity, not to mention that Mrs. Su had passed away, that is, she had not passed away, and it was not strange to spread some romantic affairs, and pressing Su Xun left and right was just a trivial matter that did not hurt. As for the influence on the contemplator of this metaphysical view, that is not his concern.
At this time, Su Xunzhi and Lord Zhen, who were rumored to be romantic, were walking on the path in the view, because the path was full of branches and leaves, and the two of them were standing in the dark, even if someone occasionally passed by in a hurry, no one found their figures.
"Are you all ready?" Sioux asked.
Lord Zhen nodded, and subconsciously wiped the sweat on his forehead, thinking of what might happen for a while, he was nervous. He has always been stable in his work, and this Su Xunji is such a character, but ...... Perhaps it is such a personality that can be entrusted by His Majesty with the important task of patrolling on behalf of the heavens!
"Zhen Shiyuan, you don't have to be so nervous, this matter has been prepared, and there will be no half-point difference." Su Cheng said, his hand touching the saber on his waist, "If Su didn't take his body as bait, those people wouldn't show up." ”
Lord Zhen said in his mouth, "What the adults said is true", and finally couldn't help but ask: "Lord Su seems to have some eyebrows about the identities of those people?" ”
Two months ago, Su Xun and his entourage passed through Yuzhou and found out that local officials had embezzled 300,000 taels of silver from the disaster relief funds allocated by the imperial court a few years ago, involving as many as 21 officials, shocking the government and the public. Even he had heard about it, and when he heard about it, he only sighed, but he didn't expect that this Su Xun would call him to him and say to him: "There are still fish that have slipped through the net in this case, and the official has lied to the outside world that he has eyebrows in his hands, and there are many signs of turning over the objects around him in the past few days, so it can be seen that those people have been eyeing the official, you and the official will make a bureau, a bureau to invite the king into the urn." ”
At that time, I almost didn't scare Lord Zhen away.
Regarding Lord Zhen's question, Su Cheng only glanced at him, noncommittal, and just looked ahead suddenly.
Lord Zhen followed his gaze, but saw a few Dao Gu talking not far away.
"It's time to start, let's go!" Sioux City withdrew his gaze and walked forward.
The Xuanzhen Temple began to liven up.
Compared with the liveliness of the Xuanzhen Temple, there are only a few people sitting in the mountains not far away. In addition to Qiao Ran and Hongdou, there is also a mother and son who live in this family.
The peasant woman came out of the house with a few bowls of salted edamame, and then sat down on the small pony on the side with a smile, and the four of them sat on the high ground in front of the door and looked in the direction of Xuanzhenguan.
Xuanzhen Temple is going to set off fireworks tonight! Ordinary people, except for festivals, who has seen fireworks? Not to mention that I heard that the fireworks this time are the same as the fireworks at the Lantern Festival in the government, and if they want to buy this fireworks, they may not be able to buy them after a few years of frugality.
I don't want to miss this opportunity right now.
They didn't wait long, the fireworks soon exploded in the air, and the brilliant colors lit up the sky above the Xuanzhen Temple, listening to the exclamations and joys coming from around them, Qiao Ran seemed to be infected, and also stood up.
In the five-color splendor, it seems that you can faintly hear the boiling voices and noisy voices in the Xuanzhen Temple.
It seems that this feast is quite lively! Qiao Ran thought to herself.
The fireworks were set off for an hour, and the red bean reluctantly withdrew his gaze, muttering, "It's good-looking, it's just too expensive, and I don't know how much wine and meat ...... have been released from this release" and went back to the house.
Qiao Ran laughed when she heard this.
It's night, and there's no dream all night.
In the early morning of the second day, Qiao Ran was awakened by a burst of exclamations.
"It's terrible," Hongdou, who only remembered his identity yesterday, ran in in a panic, "Miss, it's terrible, there are dead people in Xuanzhen Temple!" ”
"What?" Qiao Ran sat up from the bed suddenly, because she was in too much of a hurry, her eyes were dark, and she almost fell down.
Hongdou jumped anxiously: "What Su Xun is dead, now that Xuanzhen Temple has been surrounded by the government, what should we ......do?"
