Chapter 56: Dao Heart 7
In the departure view, Bai Jinyu's first task is to supervise the alchemy of Yu Xuanzi.
The day before yesterday was, yesterday was, and today it is.
Before the morning class of the departure view, Bai Jinyu was already waiting in the Danfang, and he came earlier than the jade Xuanzi.
Her face was gloomy, and she leaned her hands against the door frame, and she didn't move for a long time. When several little Taoist priests in the Danfang saw her posture, they all hid far away, for fear that one of them would accidentally detonate a thunderbolt.
As soon as the hour passed, Yu Xuanzi's chubby figure finally appeared at the end of the corridor of the Danfang. He walked with a whisk in his mouth, humming a small tune in his mouth, shaking his head, and his wide robe fluttered back and forth with his bulky body.
"Where did Yuxuan Zhenren come from?" The corners of Bai Jinyu's mouth tugged, and she greeted Yu Xuanzi with a smile.
Yu Xuanzi raised his head suddenly, like a frightened bird, suddenly stopped, and asked in a hurry, "What about His Royal Highness King Jin?" ”
"Thanks to you, I'm still copying the Tao Te Ching," Bai Jinyu walked towards him, gritted his back teeth and said: "Even though the food in the departure view is average, but I think Yuxuan's interest in real people seems to be very high, and a breakfast can be eaten for an hour?!" ”
Yu Xuanzi learned that Feng Chen was not present, and watched Bai Jinyu walk towards him step by step, and couldn't help but retreat back.
After a long time, he squeezed out a little dry smile on his face and explained: "It's all because the abbot is too picky, and there is so much water in the morning porridge that I was hungry before noon two days ago, so I drank a few more bowls today, and it was too late." ”
Bai Jinyu nodded, and a knife almost flew out of his eyes: "You yourself know that you have such a good cultivation method of eating and drinking, drinking water and convincing, why don't you use it yourself?" Do you know how many days His Royal Highness King Jin hasn't eaten?! ”
"Four or five days? Uh, no, five or six days? Yu Xuanzi shrunk his neck and looked at Bai Jinyu: "Seven or eight days? But I remember that the princess didn't secretly bring porridge for Her Highness to drink......"
"Shut up," Bai Jinyu was already angry, and when he heard this, he was even more angry: "You still mention this?!" Why don't you have a pure heart at all, and you talk nonsense and spread rumors. It's good for me to give him porridge, but which eye did you see King Jin drinking? I also meet people everywhere and say, what kind of heart do you have?! At the end, she stomped his foot.
Yu Xuanzi screamed "ouch", jumped up on one foot and begged for mercy: "Princess, your husband is your husband, don't step on the foot of the poor road every day, or can you change your foot to step on, if you step on it like this, my foot will definitely be wasted!" ”
"What is it called, you have the ability to step back!" Bai Jinyu rolled his eyes and said sharply: "Don't talk nonsense, let's talk about whether you can refine the Dan today?!" ”
Yu Xuanzi said: "It's hard to say, alchemy is originally a matter of seven points in the person and three points in the sky......
Bai Jinyu raised his face and said, "Ha, you are embarrassed to say that seven points are in people!" Tell me what you did the last two days? Either the prescription is wrong, the sulfur is reversed, or the time is wrong...... I really can't figure out what the Holy One likes about you, and he would entrust you with a heavy responsibility? ”
When Bai Jinyu said this, Yu Xuanzi was not only not angry, but aggrieved: "Yes, I am also very puzzled, obviously I am a stinky Taoist priest who is good for nothing and full of mistakes and leaks, why do they treat me like this?!" Instead of waiting for me to be punished for my mistakes in the future, it is better to kill me now. ”
Yu Xuanzi immediately opened the chatterbox, and the bitter water of complaining became more and more, Bai Jinyu was too lazy to listen to his ramblings, so he directly pulled up his whisk and dragged him into the alchemy room.
As soon as he entered the house, Yu Xuanzi took a big jump, only to see that the Danzao in front of him was already hot, the talismans for building the altar were ready, and the ancient mirrors of the sword for protection were all in place, everything was in order, and it was even more in line with the rules than he took care of it personally.
Bai Jinyu pointed to everything in front of him and said: "Look at it, I have checked all the herbaceous herbs, gold stone sulfur and sulfur you need for alchemy, if you can't refine it today......"
Her sharp gaze ripped Yu Xuanzi up and down, and said: "Not only do I have to step on your feet, but I also have to tell the abbot that you may not be able to refine it for a while, so you may delay the time of the Holy Lord's view of surrendering and leaving the country, it is better to move this Danding furnace to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites in the city, so that you can perform your duties and refine the Dan at the same time, and both ends are correct." ”
"You ......" Yu Xuanzi weakly raised a finger to accuse Bai Jinyu: "Princess Niangniang, you are too vicious!" ”
When he said this, Bai Jinyu was holding a lingzhi and was looking at it, and when she heard him say this, she put down the lingzhi and patted her hand and said, "Yes, don't think I don't know what you want to do." If you rectify Fengchen again, I definitely have more powerful means to come! I'm not scaring you, I'm so big, as long as I want to fix anyone, no one has escaped from me! I don't know if you'll be able to eat it then, Chief. ”
Bai Jinyu said these threatening and intimidating words, but her eyebrows were clear, and Yu Xuanzi didn't know whether she was frightened or surprised for a while, she looked at it in a daze for a long time, and whispered: "Since the princess cares so much about His Royal Highness, why did she leave him before?" ”
Bai Jinyu was stunned, looked at him for a long time, and said in his heart that this Taoist priest was really gossipy, far away from Chang'an, and actually knew about Su Lihua's return to her parents' house and Fengchen's separation. I couldn't help but sarcastically say: "You are a monk, you know a lot of things!" ”
Yu Xuanzi snorted, looked at the well-organized intentions in the house, and changed his words: "Okay, okay, I'll try my best to fight for it today!" ”
Bai Jinyu nodded in approval: "Okay, then you start!" ”
Yu Xuanzi's face turned green and said, "What? Niangniang is still here to watch the poor road today? ”
"Yes," Bai Jinyu said as a matter of course: "I'm afraid that something will go wrong with you again!" ”
Yu Xuanzi furrowed her brows, and she was terrified, and the picture of her sprinkling her whole head with ashes after the furnace exploded yesterday immediately appeared in front of her. Immediately said: "Poor Dao suspects that yesterday's failure was due to the presence of a woman, the herbs used in this Dan recipe are already cold and extremely yin, if Niang Niang is present, I am afraid that this yin and yang will be unbalanced......"
Bai Jinyu squinted his eyes and listened to him make things up, but this jade Xuanzi was cunning and cunning, but what he made up could justify itself, and it sounded a little reasonable. Waiyi still failed today, he didn't point out that it was the reason for her presence, she really jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it.
"Okay, don't play tricks." Bai Jinyu could only follow his recruitment, thought for a while, and said: "Today, there is a temple fair in the town under the mountain, so I will take Xiao Shizi to go around, and when I come back, I will come to check your results." ”
Yu Xuanzi nodded again and again, hurriedly nodded and sent Bai Jinyu out of the Dan room.
The first and fifteenth days of each month are the days when pilgrims from all over the world go to Xifeng Mountain to offer incense, and the town under the mountain naturally has a considerable temple fair on these two days.
This time on the mountain, the Jin Wangfu did not bring many guards and family members, and after being temporarily left in the departure view, Feng Chen felt that the Daomen was not suitable for pomp, so he did not send additional people to go up the mountain.
So Bai Jinyu and Feng Nai changed into simple clothes and went down the mountain, with only Xie Yao behind them.
The temple fair is lively, all kinds of goods are dizzying, the hawkers are shouting one after another, and the flow of people is bustling and endless.
It was the first time for Nair to visit such a common people's market, and she was fascinated by the dazzling array of celebrities.
Xie Yao silently followed behind the two of them, although he was still cold, his face also showed a rare lightness.
To commemorate Nair's first trip to the temple fair, Bai Jinyu offered to buy him a gift. Nell was flattered, and after walking through the temple fair, she fell in love with a little milk dog who sold a dog stall.
When the little milk dog was still drinking milk next to the dog girl, Bai Jinyu asked Xie Yao to pay the silver two first and said to the boss that he would come over to pick up the puppy after a while.
Who knows, when the three of them returned to the dog stall after a circle at the temple fair, they saw a pair of brightly dressed men and women holding the puppy and about to leave.
Bai Jinyu hurriedly stepped forward to stop the couple and did not allow the man and woman to leave.
Seeing this, the owner of the dog stall unhurriedly stuffed a piece of broken silver back to Xie Yao, and said, "The officials of the people have more money than you, and the one with the highest price is justified." ”
Bai Jinyu asked, "But it's clear that we set this dog first, shouldn't we come first and come first?" How can you not be trustworthy when you do business?! ”
The boss glared at Bai Jinyu with a strange smile, and said strangely: "Why don't I have no credit, didn't I return the silver to you?" People are willing to pay a higher price, do I have money and still don't make money? ”
"You ......" Bai Jinyu was angry, but when he saw that the man and woman who bought the dog were about to leave, he quickly gave Xie Yao a look, Xie Yao stretched out his arm, stopped the two who wanted to leave, and said, "Put the dog down!" ”
The voice was so cold that it seemed to leave someone's life behind.
"Money, huh? How many did they come out of? Bai Jinyu asked.
The boss looked at Bai Jinyu and said, "One or two silver." ”
Bai Jinyu turned to Xie Yao: "Give him one or two"
Xie Yao said: "Okay." ”
Bai Jinyu immediately said to the dog dealer: "We will also give you one or two, we will order it in advance, sell the dog to us, let them go!" ”
The dog dealer hesitated.
When the man who bought the dog heard this, he was not convinced: "Why give it to you, who doesn't have the money!" My lady likes this dog tightly, come, boss, I'll pay ten taels! So saying, he took out some silver taels and gave them to the dog dealer, and turned back and touched the dog in his wife's arms.
Nell watched the puppy lying in someone else's arms, pursing her lips to show an aggrieved look.
Bai Jinyu was forced to generalize an army, ten taels of silver can already be used for a month's expenses of an ordinary family, this man actually bought a grass dog for Bo Jiaren, he is really rich.
"We're ten taels too." When Bai Jinyu was still hesitating, Xie Yao had already spoken out.
Bai Jinyu looked at Xie Yao in surprise, thinking that he was really handsome!
"Heh, are you still on the bar?" The man hurriedly said: "I told you that this dog is going to be decided today, boss, I will pay twenty taels!" ”
At this time, many people in the temple fair heard the dispute on the side of the dog stall, and they stopped to look lively.
When it came out of the twenty taels, the crowd let out a cry of surprise and pointed their fingers and discussed.
"We're twenty taels too." Xie Yao still said.
"Fifty taels, I still don't believe it!"
"We're fifty taels too."
The man looked at Xie Yao angrily, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Hey, okay, one hundred taels!" ”
Bai Jinyu and Nell looked at Xie Yao in unison, and after a pause, he said without any change: "One hundred and fifty taels." ”
The crowd let out a neat exclamation, and Bai Jinyu couldn't help but wonder if Xie Yao didn't have a little concept of money.
Hearing Xie Yao's report, the woman who bought the dog put the dog back to the dog stall in a daze, pulled the man and said, "Forget it, we don't want it." ”
The man opened the woman with one arm, and said to Xie Yao unpersuaded: "Okay, it's better than rich, it's inevitable to get it today, I'll pay two hundred taels!" ”
The crowd erupted in a shocking applause, and then the sound fell, and people began to talk about whether the man was crazy or not.
Bai Jinyu and Nell looked at Xie Yao again, wanting to see what number he was going to hold below, and waited for a while, but saw Xie Yao's lips twitch and did not follow.
He looked at Bai Jinyu, and Bai Jinyu knew from his eyes that they didn't have that much money.
Nell lowered her head, although she didn't have any idea about money at his age, she also knew what the general outcome would be, and tears quickly welled up in her eyes, and she flowed down her cheeks.
"Forget it, we've got a madman today." Bai Jinyu squatted down to comfort Nai'er.
Nell nodded, raised her head, looked at the various people around her with red eyes, and asked Bai Jinyu: "Mother, did Nell do something wrong?" ”
Bai Jinyu didn't expect Naier to have this thought, and hurriedly comforted: "No, no, Nai'er don't think so, when we go back to Chang'an, my mother will buy you a lot of puppies." ”
Nell nodded obediently, her eyes reluctantly watching the dog dealer hand the puppy to the man and woman.
"Humph!" The man who bought the dog glared at Bai Jinyu and the others proudly, and turned around to leave with his lady in his arms.
"Stay!"
The man and woman had just taken a step when a voice from outside the crowd stopped them.
Everyone followed the sound and saw a very handsome and elegant man walking forward from behind. He was dressed in blue-gray layman clothes, but he was as dusty as a heavenly official, with graceful eyes, clear hair, and no ornaments on his body, but he was gorgeous and brilliant.
The crowd fell silent for a moment, and their eyes followed him quietly.
"The ...... of the palace" Bai Jinyu almost called out, and Nell also wanted to speak, but Bai Jinyu hurriedly covered his mouth.
Feng Chen walked up to the dog dealer, who looked at him in disbelief.
Feng Chen took out a plain money bag from his wide sleeve, grabbed a handful of golden beans and put them on the wooden table of the dog dealer, and said, "Is it enough?" ”
The people present gasped when they saw no less than twenty or so golden beans, and this time they even exclaimed well.
Feng Chen turned around again, walked to the dog buyer who was already frightened by his handwriting, and handed him the money bag directly.
The ghost sent the god to the gods, the man stretched out his hand, Feng Chen Wen smiled, and poured the golden bean into his hand, because there were too many golden beans, the man had to hold it with both hands.
"Your Excellency loves your wife, and will spare no expense to obtain the things you love for her," he said, taking the money bag into his bosom, "Me too." ”
The man who bought the dog was stupid.
He woke up half a day later, looking at the golden beans in his hand, at a loss.
At this time, her lady walked over to Bai Jinyu, pushed the milk dog into her arms and said, "This little dog is given to you." Although I didn't get this little dog today, but because of this, I know my husband's heart for me, is there anything happier in the world than to get this? ”
After speaking, she took all the golden beans from the man's hand and handed them to Bai Jinyu.
Bai Jinyu was holding the dog, and she couldn't take many golden beans anymore, so Fengchen saw that she was embarrassed and helped her take away the puppy.
The dog and the golden bean were both returned to the man, and the woman took the man's hand and left the crowd with a satisfied smile.
Bai Jinyu held a handful of golden beans in his hand, a little dazed.
"Little lady, your Langjun is so good to you!" It's the dog dealer.
The people around him followed suit, the woman envied Feng Chen's indulgence in spoiling his wife, and the man guessed that Feng Chen was the stupid son of the rich man's family somewhere.
Bai Jinyu covered his forehead with one hand, eager to find a hole to drill into.
"Let's go back!" Fengchen said.
Bai Jinyu raised her head and crashed into a gentle eyewave.
At this time, a discussion sounded in her ears again:
"Look, why didn't this little lady react at all?"
"Yes, look at the lady of that house just now is really a lot more intimate!"
"Yes, yes, I think the men in this house are better than that one, but the women in this house are not so understanding......
"Yes, this man is so miserable, and he looks so handsome, it's really miserable!"
……
The gossip around became more and more denunciatory, Bai Jinyu gradually couldn't resist, and just wanted to end the current situation quickly, so he walked up and touched Fengchen's arm, and said affectionately and hurriedly: "Thank you, husband, let's go." ”
