Chapter 22 I don't know the true face of Lushan
"Spring memories? What happened to you? Didn't sleep well last night? Xiangyan was puzzled and asked, how could she have two deep dark circles under her eyes?
"I didn't ...... It's nothing ......" Li Chunyi replied hesitantly, her face flushed again at the thought of Xiangyan's appearance yesterday.
"Why is your face so red? Is it a fever? Xiangyan saw that Li Chunyi's face was blushing terribly, so she put her hand on Li Chunyi's forehead to test the temperature. Odd? Isn't it hot? Xiangyan muttered, could it be that there is something else?
"Sister Yan, I'm really fine!" After speaking, Li Chunyi covered her head with the quilt to avoid Xiangyan's sight.
Forehead? Isn't it hot for this girl to be so stuffy on a hot day?
"Then you have a good rest, I'm out."
Li Chunyi didn't answer, but the quilt covering her head moved.
When Xiangyan saw Li Chunyi's reply, she quickly untied her belly pocket and wrapped her chest corset, put on her underwear, put on her outer coat, and then tied her hair with a brocade crown, stepped on her cloth boots with both feet, and sat down in front of the dresser to put on a delicate men's makeup.
After everything was settled, Xiangyan came to the door of Guan Duyi's room.
Knock......
No one should be?
Xiangyan pushed the door in, only to see Guan Duyi lying on the bed and falling asleep.
After three seconds of silence, Xiangyan closed the door, and went straight downstairs and out of the inn as if she hadn't been there.
The streets are full of traffic and people coming and going, and it doesn't look like it should be in troubled times at all.
It's like a peaceful and prosperous world in a TV series.
However, the truth that superficial phenomena do not represent essential phenomena is still understood.
Even if Wuzhou is in the south of the Yangtze River, a little far away from the war-torn places in Hebei, it is impossible to be in a corner of peace, at least Wuzhou has been separated from the jurisdiction of Daqin, and it still has a little influence.
Xiang Yan purposefully walked in one direction, that direction was the location of Ruan Yu's mansion, and Xiang Yan still heard some information more or less along the way.
For example, the peace in Wuzhou is thanks to the cooperation between Ruan Yu and Wu Fan, Wu Fan has Ruan Yu as a backer, no longer disturbing the people, no more robbery, and if you want to eat, drink, play, or play, you can ask Ruan Yu to take it.
Wu Fan's soldiers soaked in taverns, brothels, gambling houses, all kinds of sensual dogs and horses, drunk and gold-obsessed all day long.
No wonder Zhuge Xian said that Guan Quanyi only needs to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to attack Wuzhou, which is more than enough.
In this situation, it is estimated that as soon as their soldiers and horses from Jiutong Mountain arrive, Wu Fan's men will scatter and run away.
There are also some words of praise for Ruan Yu.
Ruan Yu is the patron saint of Wuzhou City, and the talking point of the people of Wuzhou, and most of the people are discussing Ruan Yu with their eyebrows.
For them, Nguyen Ngoc almost became faith.
When Xiangyan came to Ruan Yu's mansion, it can be said that it was breathtaking, the section from the east of the city to the edge of the west of the city was all his mansion, which accounted for one-tenth of Wuzhou City! The river flows through his mansion and flows through the whole city! And the north gate is actually the back door of his house!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Xiangyan knocked on one of the doors of Ruan Yu's mansion.
"It's coming, it's coming, is the master back!" An old man's voice came from inside the door.
When the door opened, the old man saw that it was a gentle-looking son, so he politely asked, "This son, do you have something to do with coming to Ruan's Mansion?" ”
Xiangyan handed out a letter from her sleeve and said, "I'm here to visit Master Ruan Yuruan, I wonder if this uncle can report it?" This is a letter written by Zhuge Xian later, and it was specially handed over to Xiangyan to take with her, so that she could identify her.
The old man took the letter, the envelope was written with Zhuge Xian's three big characters, the day before yesterday he also received this person's letter, when the old man read the letter first overjoyed, and then worried, he didn't know what was written in the letter, the old man only told him at the time, as long as there was a son surnamed Xiang with this person's letter to him, let the person with the letter come to see him.
But! The master is not at home today!
"Childe's surname?" For the sake of insurance, the old man still asked if the son's surname was Xiang.
"My surname is Xiang, Xiang Zilan, a few days ago, my friend Zhuge Xian sent a letter to Master Ruan, I wonder if Master Ruan has received it?" Friend? Bah! Bah! Bah! Xiangyan vomited Zhuge Xian eighteen times in her heart.
"I received a letter from Mr. Zhuge Xian, and I also handed it to the master, the master said that if a son surnamed Xiang comes to him, he will let you go to find him, but the master is not in the house today, Xiang Gongzi, you can come back tomorrow." The old man saw that Xiangyan had already reported to his family, and he also told Xiangyan what Ruan Yu had explained to him.
Not at home?
"Dare to ask where Master Ruan Yu is now?" Xiangyan asked involuntarily.
"The lord is now praying for blessings in the Taizhou Temple outside the city, if the son is in a hurry, I can borrow a fast horse in the house with the son." The old man replied, leaving a back way for Xiangyan to find Ruan Yu.
Fast horses? Can't afford to mess with it! Can't afford to mess with it!
"Thank you for this uncle, you don't have to do it quickly." Xiangyan directly refused.
Horse? But her enemy!
"Just call me Hengbo." Hengbo laughed.
Xiangyan nodded and said, "Okay, Uncle Heng, I won't bother today, and I'll leave first." ”
Hengbo waved his hand: "Xianggongzi go slowly, you are welcome to come again next time." ”
Xiangyan turned and left.
Heng Bo watched Xiangyan leave, and then closed the gate of Ruan's mansion.
Outside the city, Taijuji Temple? How could the arrogant Xiangyan let Hengbo know that he couldn't ride a horse!
Having made up her mind, Xiangyan decided to go in a carriage!
It took a tael of silver, found a carriage, and arrived at Taizhou Temple in an hour.
It seems that Buddhism has a strong ability to spread its branches! Even in other worlds there is Buddhism.
The incense in the temple is thriving, and there are many Buddhist believers kneeling in front of the statue of the Buddha with their hands folded and chanting, and the old monk on the side knocks on the wooden fish.
Xiangyan's grandmother and grandmother are very superstitious about Buddhism, and everything is as long as it is related to good fortune! I have to worship the small statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva placed on the top floor, and I have to put a few fruits, and I want to say that Guanyin Bodhisattva blesses or something. Thanks to their blessings, Xiangyan knelt down to Guanyin and the Buddha when she was a child, and even chanted words like them in her mouth.
All afternoon, Xiangyan was aimlessly looking for Ruan Yu in Taizhou Temple, because ...... She didn't know what Ruan Yu looked like!
What a serious mistake!
When the sun was setting, Xiangyan saw a familiar figure among the retreating believers! It's not so much a figure! It's more like two mustaches!
That's right, that person is Ruan Muyu! He was accompanied by a beautiful and dignified woman and a naughty and cute little girl.
"Young Master Ruan! It's such a coincidence, do you also come to Taizhou Temple to pray for blessings? Xiang Yan greeted happily. For Xiangyan, Ruan Muyu's politeness to her made her feel a little good for him, unlike that Ruan Yu! Knowing that you would come to him! I don't know what I'm doing here!
"Xiang Gongzi! Hello, I didn't expect you to come to Taizhou Temple too, oh, let me introduce, this is my lover Luo'er, and the little girl you have seen. Ruan Muyu introduced his family to Xiangyan with a smile, his eyes were full of love when he looked at his wife, he must have loved his family very much.
The beautiful woman who was called Luo'er blessed Xiangyan and said, "I have seen Xianggongzi, Xianggongzi is magnificent, and he must be an extraordinary person." ”
Xiangyan also returned the favor and praised: "Mrs. Ruan's country is beautiful and fragrant, and Ruan's son is a talent, she is really a talented woman." ”
Ruan Muyu's daughter was not to be outdone, so she hugged Xiangyan's thigh and rubbed it.
This uncle is so fragrant!
"It seems that the little girl likes Xianggongzi very much" Ruan Muyu smiled knowingly when she saw Qin'er's intimate Xiangyan.
Xiangyan laughed dryly, she was recalling the solution to being pestered by a child.
"Did Xiang Gongzi come to Taizhou Temple to ask for a son?" Ruan Muyu quipped.
"Asking for a child? No! No! No! Xiangyan hurriedly waved her hand, she was not married yet, what did she ask for.
"Oh? But today, the temple fair held by Taizhou Temple is to pray for children, and these people who come from all directions are husbands and wives who come to ask for children. Ruan Muyu's eyes narrowed as if he was encouraged.
"Tell me the truth, I ......"
"Lord Ruan, you haven't returned yet, this time I would like to thank you for helping our temple reshape the golden body of the Buddha last time." A fat-headed, big-eared monk interrupted Xiangyan's words.
Xiangyan was very unhappy, but she didn't look like it.
"Master Blue Wall! You've come back from the west! Ruan Muyu was very excited when he saw this blue wall with a fat head and big ears.
"Yes, I have benefited a lot from this trip to the west, and I have to thank Ruan Shizhu for his funding." Lan Bi sighed with emotion, thanks to the ships and fast horses funded by Ruan Muyu this time, he went down the river from Wuzhou to Jiangzhou, and went to the Western Continent on a fast horse, Buddhism was transmitted from the Western Continent, and Lan Bi went this time to learn scriptures.
"You're welcome, just some small money." Ruan Muyu waved his hand, and this was the magnanimity of the rich.
Lan Bi nodded understandingly, and it was his unkindness to thank him again, so he turned to Xiangyan and said, "This donor, it's getting late, but you want to stay in this hospital?" ”
Xiangyan didn't react at all, the fat head and big ears were talking to herself, and she didn't pay attention to the blue wall.
Seeing this, Ruan Muyu poked Xiangyan's armpit and said, "Xianggongzi has something on his mind?" Master Bluewall is talking to you. ”
After realizing her gaffe, Xiangyan hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Master Lanbi, but Xiang has something on his mind." ”
"I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain. The guest rooms of this hospital are full, if it is late today, and the incense donor is alone in this wilderness, there will be a Lao Ruan donor to bring the incense donor back. Lan Bi first said a meaningful poem to Xiangyan, and then said to Ruan Muyu.
Ruan Muyu thought about it and felt that what Master Lanbi said was good, so he said to Xiangyan: "What does Xianggongzi think?" ”
Xiangyan nodded, anyway, it's so late, Ruan Yu should also leave, let's go back to the inn first.
Lan Bi glanced at Xiangyan more, and happened to meet Xiangyan's gaze, and then turned around and entered the Buddhist hall.
Just now, the four eyes met for a moment, and Xiangyan felt that the monk's gaze was full of peeping atmosphere.
At least, that monk is definitely not an ordinary person.
What did he see in her?
