Not long after, a disciple came to invite the banquet. A group of people moved to the Ruoshui Pavilion.

If the water pavilion takes the meaning of "good as water", a couplet on both sides of the door: "Tao runs through a pot of heaven and earth marrow, proficient in the heart of all generations of sages", it is a three-story wooden structure pavilion hidden in the depths of the flowers and trees in the backyard of Chongyang Palace.

The ground in front of the pavilion is dug for the lake, and the stacked stones are for the mountain. Curved bridges and waterfalls, flowers and trees are sparse. Pushing the window to look at the lake, the view is excellent. It is the place where Chongyang Palace entertains distinguished guests.

Zhang Zhijing sat on the main seat. Yang Guo sat the seat of honor. The rest of the six sons of Quanzhen accompanied him. Because of Li Jushou's relationship, Zhang Zhixian sat on Yang Guo's right hand side and was accompanied by the second master.

A special table was set up for Ning Xi, accompanied by Li Jushou and Ju Hong, and the two female disciples of Yuheng Hall in the teaching.

Yuheng Zhenren is the only Jurchen among the seven sons of Quanzhen, and the majority of the apprentices he accepts are women. Because Ning Xi was a female doll, Zhang Zhijing sent these two female disciples to accompany her.

The eldest of the two female disciples is surnamed Zhou, whose name is Ruofu. It is the first disciple of Yuhengzi. Twenty-eight fragrant, the eyebrows, the snow skin and flowers, is very dignified and beautiful. The young one's surname is Qin, his name is Ruoyao, but he is old with cardamom, the childishness between his eyebrows and eyes, and the two pear vortices at the corners of his lips are full of innocence.

Ning Xi secretly admired in his heart: "The Quanzhen Sect has such a beautiful female disciple, it's a pity to be a Taoist aunt." ”

The two female disciples grew up listening to anecdotes about the Condor Heroes of the Tomb Sect since childhood. For Yang Guo's world-class achievements, Xiaolongnu's peerless beauty, the two of them are deeply fascinated, and they regret not seeing this couple. Now that I have this errand, I am really overjoyed.

The second daughter saw Ning Xi wearing a pink narcissus scattered flowers and green leaf skirt, her hair was loosely pulled up with a pink ribbon, black hair and red lips, and her complexion was delicate. If there is a woman like this, I really don't know what kind of shocking face that Mrs. Yang is.

Ning Xi first squatted down and saluted Ju Hongfu, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Ju Hong, I haven't seen you for many days, and I have always been good." ”

Ju Hong saw that Ning Xi was lively and knew etiquette, and he liked it very much. couldn't help but be more thoughtful about Ning Xi's care. He also introduced Ning Xi and Zhou Qin's two daughters to greet each other, and then sat down.

Ning Xi thought that today's situation would not be able to see Li Jushou. Who wants Zhang Zhijing to be a good person to the end, and he actually lifted Li Jushou to accompany him at the banquet.

Even if Ning Xi and Li Jushou haven't seen each other for more than a month. Last time in Yaoguang Palace, I was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to talk in detail. I don't know how he's been doing these days.

At this time, I looked carefully, and saw that Li Jushou was wearing a cyan cloth robe of the same color as Juhong and Zhou Qin, his black hair was tied up with a bamboo hairpin, his posture was like a pine, his attitude was calm, and he was no longer in the same clothes as before. It can be seen that this day is very comfortable, and I can't help but secretly put my mind at ease.

Li Jushou saw Ning Xi, hooked the corners of his lips and smiled gently, and said softly: "Sister Ning Er, you have been doing well these days. ”

Ning Xi couldn't help pouting: "Where is it good, I was punished by my mother and grounded, and I was not allowed to go out for half a month, but I was suffocated." If you hadn't come looking for you a long time ago, I think you've been doing well lately, right? ”

Li Jushou nodded and said, "The master and senior brother have taken great care of me. He also talked about the aftermath in detail.

Although Zhang Zhixian did not teach Li Jushou martial arts these days, he deliberately instructed Li Jushou in his scripture homework. Li Jushou is talented and intelligent, and Zhang Zhixian is extremely satisfied with him.

After explaining a few errands, Li Jushou did all of them properly, and it was really rare at a young age. For a time, Li Jushou was in the limelight in Yaoguang Palace.

The dishes have been served one after another, Zhang Zhijing stood up and raised his glass and said: "Yang Daxia is here, and the whole sect is deeply honored. Poor people drink first for respect. ”

Yang Guo smiled and raised his glass in greeting, and also drank it all.

I don't feel that the wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have five flavors. The staggered selection of the guests and the host are happy.

It is said that the pure vegetarian fasting of this Quanzhen religion was originally very famous. The raw materials are taken from the moss mushrooms, fungus, daylily, malantou, bean sprouts, Tsubaki seedlings and other mountain delicacies produced in Zhongnan Mountain, with tofu, frozen powder, gluten, fresh vegetables, etc., or stir-fried, or simmered, or stewed, or baked, green silk and green leaves, and the colors are distinct. Although it is a vegetarian dish, it can imitate many forms such as chicken, duck, fish, and meat, and not only resembles the shape, but also tastes the same.

Today's distinguished guests come to the door, the master in charge of the spoon is to fold up the spirit of 12 points carefully cooked, four pressure table, four cold meat, four stir-fried vegetables, four pieces, the price of flowing water up, the color and flavor are complete, and the name is very elegant: "Half Moon Shenjiang", "South China Sea Golden Lotus", "Alpine Flowing Water", "Sanyang Kaitai" and so on. He nodded his head again and again, admiring.

Ning Xi loves one of the peculiar smell rolls fruit, select fruit pulp, jujube paste, yam, honey, sugar, osmanthus and other raw materials, roll them in oil skin and steam and fry, and then use honey stains. Soft and sweet. Secretly: "If you use the jade bee syrup at home to impregnate, I am afraid that it will be more mellow and sweet." I will try it myself another day, and give it to my father and the little dragon girl. ”

Li Jushou was also happy when he saw that Ning Xi was eating sweetly. Raising the chopsticks, he added two more chopsticks for Ning Xi and said, "Sister Ning'er, eat slowly, don't choke." He poured out the juice of the mountain fruit and drank it to Ningxi.

After a while, he said: "In a few days, the master ordered me to go down the mountain to buy the things that should be celebrated for the Dragon Boat Festival in the palace, and if Sister Ning'er has anything to bring, I will help you buy it back." ”

Qin Ruoyao, who was sitting on the side, heard this and said happily: "Senior Brother Li, such a coincidence. The master also pointed out this errand to me, and I was worried that I would not be able to do this errand alone. Why don't we work together, and you can help me get an idea. ”

Ning Xi saw that Qin Ruoyao's eyes secretly looked at Li Jushou from time to time when she was eating, and then she took the initiative to meet again, and smiled secretly in her heart: "This little girl is only afraid that she has a little heart for the Li family's brother, and I don't know what the fate of the two is." ”

It turned out that the Quanzhen Sect did not prohibit the marriage of true disciples. Ma Danyang, who was in charge of the previous teaching, and Sun Buji, a pure and scattered person, were a pair of monks.

That Qin Ruoyao was in her prime, her love was just beginning, and when she saw that Li Jushou was young and handsome, she spoke gently and politely, and the two were of similar age, so she couldn't help but secretly have a good feeling.

The last time Ning Xi went to Zhongnan Town was when he enjoyed the lanterns during the Lantern Festival. After hearing this, I couldn't help but be moved: "Brother Li, I may not have been to the town for a long time." Why don't I give my father, let's go together. ”

Li Jushou listened to Ning Xi and wanted to go together, and he was even more happy: "I am most familiar with Zhongnan Town. If Yang Shibo is relieved, I just took Sister Ning'er to go shopping. Mr. Shan of Green Willow House said that the story is the most vivid. At this time, the peony flowers bloom well, and we finish our errand and enjoy the flowers and listen to the book in the green willow house, isn't it a pleasure. ”

Listening to it is even more tempting. patted his chest and said, "Daddy loves me the most, but I will definitely agree." Brother Li, let's settle it like this. ”
