Time went back two hours, and on the other side of Lingyin Temple, after Zhao Xiche and Rong Wei said goodbye to Cheng Ying, they rushed to the Zhai Dining Hall and asked the guest monks with anticipation to eat fast.

Zhao Xiche originally planned that the process would be tortuous and difficult, after all, the vegetarian food in Lingyin Temple was not something that everyone could keep and use, and the instructions did not say that it was according to the standard, if it was according to the article "there is a destined person in front of the Buddha", Zhao Xiche, who had the idea of "coming to have a good time", estimated that he would be beaten out (Note 1).

He brought a folding pony chair, a cowhide bladder, and two bags of melon seeds, and was ready to talk for a long time, but he didn't expect the guest monk to come out soon and fold to the two.

"Two donors, please come in."

Zhao Xiche and Rong Wei looked at each other, Lingyin Temple's vegetarian food is notoriously "unpalatable", and it is too obvious to make a "special exception" for them now.

"This master is invited. Excuse me......" Rong Wei stepped forward and blocked in front of Zhao Xiche, the guest monk ignored it, pointed the way to himself, and went to prepare food.

"Yo ho, master, I am really favored by the Buddha, and my life brings the Buddha's fate!" Zhao Xiche was too lazy to bother with his brains, so he rushed in happily, and the dining table futon had been prepared in the dining room, but there were three seats, and there was an acquaintance who was not a raw eye, and he had already eaten there.

Rong Wei followed up, saw the nun with the mangshou and hat clearly, and was stunned: "The emperor ...... Isn't it, too a heart teacher? ”

"It's you!" Zhao Xiche smiled, "The bhikshuni came to the bhikshu temple to beg for food, but entered the wrong house, right?" ”

"But the Three Jewels are all disciples of my Buddha, and they don't need to be faced. The poor nun and the abbot here are old friends, and they are passing by and resting for a while. He explained with a smile and looked at Rong Wei, "General An?" ”

"Imperial Concubine Ann." Rong Wei nodded, hugged his fists, and saw the military general's salute, so when he saw each other, he asked Jun An if it was enough.

"That's fine. The general still calls the poor nun careless, and the poor nun will also call the general Ah Wei. King Xiaoxian knows that you and I are fine, so it should be okay. "The heart is united, goodbye to the Buddhist family ceremony, and the chapter of the years has been revealed.

At this time, the guest monk came in with food, saw the three of them laughing, and said, "It is this master who is in charge, and the two donors are invited to stay and fast." The master is a distinguished guest of our temple, and the abbot naturally agreed. ”

Zhao Xiche and Rong Wei were stunned. It turned out to be a heartfelt intercession, and a special exception was made for the two laymen, so they both thanked each other, and the trip to Jiangnan was not in vain.

White house cooking fragrant rice, meat does not enter the house. Filter the spring to clear arrowroot powder, wash your hands and pick vine flowers. Green mustard except yellow leaves, red ginger with purple buds. Serve with the master and eat together, and fast and drink a pot of tea (Note 2).

Vegetarian rice is naturally so light that it scrapes the intestines. After Zhao Xiche's strange strength at the beginning disappeared, he ate with his eyebrows and eyes frowning, and when Rong Wei next to him saw this, the bamboo chopsticks stretched out and gave him a piece of dried bean curd in his bowl.

After thinking about it, Rong Wei simply picked out all the dried tofu in his vegetarian dish and gave it to Zhao Xiche piece by piece, and his actions were so natural that there was no room for thought.

Zhao Xiche looked at the dried beans that were slowly piled up into a hill in front of him, raised his eyes, and was stunned: "Ah Wei? ”

"Eat." Rong Wei lowered his head and picked up the dried tofu, because he was too focused, he responded to a word.

"It's not meat...... Ah Wei, don't clip me! Zhao Xiche pursed his lips and raised his tone, just when he was heard by the same fast heart next to him, he cast an inquiring gaze.

In an instant, he caught the gaze of his heart, and Rong Wei suddenly took the dried tofu with chopsticks and stuffed it directly into Zhao Xiche's mouth.

"The saint is intentional, and the virtuous king is a picky eater, so let the ministers pay more attention." Rong Wei made a stiff face, met his heart's gaze, and added, "I don't have any other intentions, I still hope that the master will see it if he doesn't see it." ”

raised his eyebrows, and the last half of the sentence didn't need to be added. It's just that the general she has the impression of being a ghostly will never serve food or anything, but she really won't.

I only have the impression of seeing it once. It was a marriage contract with Wei Chi's house, and Emperor Wai held a palace banquet, and invited General Yu Linwei and the girl of Wei Chi's family, intending to let the two meet and see what it meant.

Then at the palace banquet, the two were coaxed to sit together, the girl of the Wei Chi family blushed, but the general sat like an iron plate. Emperor Wai knocked on the side and asked the general to put a dish on the girl, and the loyal general looked around the table full of delicacies, and finally pinched an elbow.

Yes, a clipped elbow to the girl. When it was placed in the white porcelain plate with a bang, the table trembled.

"The poor nun has received full ordination, so naturally he will not talk too much." After retracting his thoughts, he looked at Rong Wei with great meaning, "But compared with the general that the poor nun knows, it seems that the donor is different." ”

Rong Wei's fingertips flicked, and he almost didn't catch the dried tofu.

With a smile in his heart, he turned to Zhao Xiche: "What does His Royal Highness the Virtuous King think?" ”

"Woo...... It's different! Zhao Xiche finally swallowed a mouthful of dried tofu, and when a trace of nervousness appeared on the knife man's face, he changed sharply, "This dried tofu can chew the feeling of meat!" ”

After a pause, Zhao Xiche pointed to a piece of dried tofu in the bowl: "This piece is too ugly, I won't eat it!" ”

Rong Wei was stunned, and really looked down at the piece of dried beans: "Ugly...... Well? ”

The end of the words was lost in a slight startle. Then the knife man felt that there was an extra piece of dried tofu in his mouth, and subconsciously chewed it twice, and it did have the taste of meat.

"Right!" Zhao Xiche picked up the chopsticks, looked at him, and smiled.

It turned out that the young man took advantage of Rong Wei's opening and quickly stuffed the dried bean curd in his bowl into his mouth, looking at the latter's stunned moment, the young man smiled and showed two circles of big white teeth.

The onlookers gasped, always feeling that it was for her to see, although she was a Buddhist disciple who didn't know what the meaning was, but the other party did deliberately show something.

It was the general who chewed the dried tofu and had a little dodgy eyes, which made her feel a little sorry for the elbow that Miss Wei Chi was forced to plug back then, and sure enough, she didn't meet that one, and she was all dry bones.

"Master Heart, Imperial Concubine, Wei Lin." Zhao Xiche turned his head to look at the bhikshuni and called her half of her life's name.

The heart master is too together, and asks.

"Because, for, I." Zhao Xiche was stunned word by word, and the smug light on his face exploded two brilliant eyes.

The heart master pondered for a long time before he realized that this sentence was an answer-

However, compared with the general known by the poor nun, the donor seems to be different.

Because I.

The knife man who was chewing dried tofu next to him suddenly coughed violently.

At the other end of Lingyin Temple, a Buddhist hall surrounded by a wooden frame cloth tent, because it is being renovated, there are only busy craftsmen and monks everywhere, ding ding dong shavings piling, and the tranquility of the temple seems to be in two worlds.

Chi Chun fanned the floating dust, looked up at the colorful young man on the shelf, and shouted: "Six halls...... Six sons! Beware of falling! You're ...... Why do you want to pretend to be a painter, it's not in accordance with the rules! ”

It turned out that there was a wooden shelf two feet off the ground in the Buddha hall, Zhao Xiyan sat on it in a flicker, with a bunch of paint jars beside him, he rolled up his trouser legs, rolled up his sleeves, held a paintbrush and dipped the color, and was painting the Guanyin statue on the wall.

He depicted very seriously, Guanyin painted quite well, the tribute silk shirt was dyed with red, yellow, blue and green, if it wasn't for a face that was considered Zhouzheng, others would not recognize, this little painter was the six princes of the imperial palace.

"Sixth son, come down quickly!" Chi Chun shouted under the shelf and his temples hurt: "If you make a mistake, the slave and maid have to pay for it with their lives!" ”

The woman's shouting shook the earth, and the lively craftsmen next to her heard it, and they couldn't understand why the young man didn't move, and he couldn't bear to teach the girl's family to shout to cut his throat.

"Aunt Chi Chun, you just went to worship marriage." Zhao Xiyan calmly dipped the paint jar and responded, but he didn't look at the woman under the shelf.

"Yes! The slave and maid are going to worship marriage, and the family affairs set by the parents before! Sixth son, you come down first! Chi Chun roared.

Zhao Xiyan shook the end of his pen, and almost lost his face. So the body that had just stepped forward to go down shrank back, calmed down, picked up the pen and drew again, and ignored the woman's cries.

Chi Chun can't do it. asked the monk for a cup of tea, and always felt that as soon as the answer just now came out, Zhao Xiyan, who was still paying attention to her at the beginning, was completely deaf, and she pretended not to hear what she said.

The two sides are at a stalemate. As the aunt of Kunning Palace, Chi Chun couldn't really care, so she drank tea and tried to roar again, until she was tired and sweaty on the October day.

Boom, a muffled sound. The ladder that was deliberately folded onto the shelf was put down, and Chi Chun looked up and saw Zhao Xiyan patting his hands full of ashes, turning his head back to paint, but still not looking at her.

Chi Chun trembled and climbed up the ladder, sat next to Zhao Xiyan on the shelf, the wind whistled through the soles of her feet, she sighed: "Your Royal Highness Six, you have always been the most humble, how can you ...... today?"

"I'm sorry." Zhao Xiyan said in a low voice.

Chi Chun was stunned. Although the prince apologized to the slave maid, she couldn't stand it a little, but the key is that the prince let her howl for a long time, and now her conscience has found out?

"Your Highness Six...... Deliberately. Chi Chun tilted his head to look at the young man, tentatively.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xiyan admitted it very openly: "Auntie went to ask for marriage...... I'm not happy. ”
