Shigong has never dared to ask his apprentices and grandchildren about his feelings, and now he is also past the year of knowing his fate, and his feelings are many, many years ago, and his thoughts are far away.

That year, Murong Qingyang also went out of the valley in his early twenties, accompanied his master to the distant imperial city, and walked for more than a month.

"Disciple, do you see this prosperity? It's different from our valley. The master took Murong Qingyang to walk slowly around the bazaar of the imperial city.

"Yes, master, the world out of the valley is different, this way, it is really getting more and more prosperous, and this place is really more prosperous than the other places." Murong Qingyang looked left and right.

"This is the imperial city of East China, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, of course, the most prosperous." The master happily took him around, "Let's get to the inn in a while, I'll go to the rest meeting, if you are not tired, continue to walk, roughly walk, where you want to go shopping." ”

"Yes, in vain." Murong Qingyang was very happy when he heard that he could continue shopping by himself.

The master and apprentice came to the most prosperous inn in the capital, Tongfu Inn, and the master and apprentice lived in a twin room.

"Master, the apprentice has gone out and walked around the imperial city." Murong Qingyang was ready to leave.

"You can't finish walking today, let's go shopping casually first, and then visit this imperial city again tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, you can't go around in one day." The master told him, "The first time you go out of the house, you still have to remember the direction and don't get lost." ”

"Yes, master, the apprentice remembered." After Murong Qingyang finished speaking, he retreated. He didn't know where to go alone, he was going to go for a walk, but the master said that he would start walking again tomorrow, and he was just strolling around today, so he went to the market just now and walked around again, there were things that had never been seen in the valley, and it was good to buy some back.

"Shopkeeper, what are you? The little box is so exquisite. "Murong Qingyang saw it from here just now.

"Childe, you look like you also have a weak crown year, and you haven't even seen this?" The shopkeeper was very puzzled, and patiently explained: "This is rouge, for women, buy a box for Mrs. Zun?" ”

"No, no, I don't have a lady yet." Murong Qingyang blushed and walked away embarrassed, "It turns out that it's rouge." ”

Looking at Murong Qingyang, who didn't know him in the bazaar, he didn't dare to ask anymore, walked and walked to the bottom of a temple full of incense, and looked up: Xiangguo Temple, a few big-character plaques are hung on the top, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going. Anyway, it's idle to have nothing to do, so it's good to go and see why the incense in this temple is so prosperous.

After entering, the monks were chanting, and there were many people who burned incense and worshiped the Buddha.

"Excuse me, why are there so many people here?" Murong Qingyang is a person who has never seen much of the world, and when he first came out with his master, he was curious about everything.

"What is this, the son is from outside, Xiangguo Temple is the most spiritual, there are not many of these people every day, and there are more on the fifteenth day of the first month, I really haven't seen the world from outside." An old man next to him shook his head and left.

Murong Qingyang then walked inside, all of them knelt at the feet of the Bodhisattva, some worshiped in all directions, some put silver, some put objects, there was a young lady covered with a veil, just made a wish to go out from the inside, Murong Qingyang looked left and right and didn't care, touched this young lady, the young lady almost fell, and the painting in his hand also fell to the ground, Murong Qingyang quickly picked it up, ready to return it to Miss, but the painting was a little loose, and it had to be rolled up again, open it and take a look, this is a beautiful landscape scenery, there is an Yiren standing on the top of the mountain to look at the landscape, I can't see my face clearly with my back to the painting, but I can really feel that this Yiren is very beautiful.

"I'm sorry, miss, but this is your painting, is it you?" Murong Qingyang asked curiously, and returned the scroll to this young lady first.

"Our young lady doesn't chat with strange men, young lady, let's go." The maid next to her didn't want to say much.

"Xiantao, don't be rude, this son, please forgive your sins." The young lady spoke softly, "This is a painting I scribbled, I went to Shu to see the landscape last year, and I was a little lingering." ”

"Miss has been to Shuzhong?" Murong Qingyang asked curiously.

"Miss, don't talk too much to the foreign man!" Fairy peach stomping.

"You must not be rude, I have my own measure." The young lady turned her head to Xiantao and reprimanded, and then turned her face to Murong Qingyang and said, "My father took office in Shuzhong last year, and I went to send something to my father last year and took a tour by the way." Childe is fine, I'll go first. ”

"Miss, this painting looks exquisite, can I give it to the contemptible person?" Murong Qingyang looked at the young lady, and suddenly had a strange emotion in his heart.

"Our young lady's painting, how can it be so easy to send a foreign man!" Xiantao reprimanded.

"Childe, this painting has almost been promised to one person, I'm really sorry." The young lady saluted Murong Qingyang and turned to leave.

Murong Qingyang wanted to say a few more words and didn't know how to keep it, the young lady had already left the hall and went down the steps, ready to go out of the gate, Murong Qingyang didn't come back to his senses for half a day, and he caught a glimpse of a handkerchief on the ground, and he didn't know if it was the young lady just now, so he hurriedly picked it up and ran over.

"Miss, stay down, you've lost your veil." Murong Qingyang shouted.

When the young lady heard the voice, she glanced back, and at this time, there was a gust of wind, blowing up the veil curtain of the young lady, and when Murong Qingyang saw the appearance of the young lady, the whole person was stunned, and his heart was hit hard by something.

"This is not my veil, Gongzi Xie, let's go find someone else." The young lady hurriedly tidied up her veil and left without looking back.

This is the first time Murong Qingyang has met this young lady, the face under the curtain, the face blown by the wind, it is really beautiful, Murong Qingyang's soul has been hooked, standing there and watching the young lady leave, I can't forget it for a long time, I bought incense, and I also went to kneel in front of the Bodhisattva real person and made a wish: May the Bodhisattva tell me to see the young lady just now again.

After Murong Qingyang made a wish, he didn't have the heart to go shopping anymore, and walked back to the rouge shop just now.

"Boss, what kind of rouge does the fair-skinned lady use." Murong Qingyang asked.

"Isn't there no lady in Childe? I'm going to buy it again, I'm afraid I'm embarrassed to say it just now. "The shopkeeper will also have an awkward conversation.

"No, it's a young lady, not my wife." Murong Qingyang really wanted to see this young lady again.

"Look at this rouge, it's suitable for women with white skin." The shopkeeper took out one and showed it to Murong Qingyang.

"This won't work, it's too glamorous." Murong Qingyang was disgusted, he felt that the beauty of that young lady did not need such a glamorous rouge at all.

"And this one?" The shopkeeper took out another one.

"No, it's too dark." In Murong Qingyang's eyes, that young lady was like white moonlight, how could she use such a dark color.

"What about this?" The shopkeeper never tires of it.

"This one doesn't look good, let's get another one." Murong Qingyang didn't find the rouge that suited his heart.

"Childe, you're too picky, or you can bring that young lady to buy it." The shopkeeper sees that he is not suitable for this, and it is not suitable, I'm afraid that he is not here to stir up the situation, "My rouge shop is also one of the best in the imperial city, and the goods are complete, all of which are high-quality rouge. ”

"Shopkeeper, find out your rouge, which is the most suitable for whitening, and I'll take a look." Murong Qingyang was not annoyed either.

"Wait, there's a rouge for the ladies and nobles, I'll show you." The shopkeeper went upstairs and took a box of rouge that was different from the rouge downstairs, and came down, "You look at this, how is it, are you still satisfied?" No matter how dissatisfied you are, there really isn't any. ”

Murong Qingyang opened it and saw that it was peach blossom color, not glamorous, "It's just right, that's it!" How much silver? ”

The shopkeeper did not speak, but only stretched out a finger.

"A tael of silver? Is a box of rouge so expensive? Murong Qingyang said in surprise.

"One hundred taels! Does Childe buy it or not? The shopkeeper didn't bother to talk anymore, so he went to the counter to get a cup and drank water.

"Buy, do you think this silver ticket is enough?" Murong Qingyang gritted his teeth and took out the silver ticket in his arms.

"I'm sorry, Childe, we only accept cash, not cashiers, you can go to the opposite side to withdraw cash and buy it again." Without saying a word, the shopkeeper took the box of rouge from Murong Qingyang's hand.

"You keep it for me, I'll go and get the silver!" Murong Qingyang looked back at the box of rouge step by step, as if he bought it, he would definitely be able to give it to the young lady just now.

went to the opposite money village to withdraw the cash, Murong Qingyang hesitated again, how to explain it to the master, although the master and the two were not short of money along the way, but they spent so much at once, it is not easy to say, it can't be said that they only bought a small box of rouge, but Murong Qingyang had another voice in his heart saying, buy that box of rouge, give it to that young lady, and achieve a good story.

Hesitantly, I walked to the rouge shop, where the shopkeeper was waiting for a guest, who seemed to be a young man with tied hair, and there was an entourage next to him.

"Give our lord the best rouge, and our lord will give it to his future wife." The retinue speaks.

"Dare to ask what Madame's skin color is?" The shopkeeper asked.

"Fair-skinned." The boy replied.

"Then I just have a box in my hand, the best rouge in our store, I dare to say that the quality of this rouge is not inferior to that in the palace." The shopkeeper took out the box of rouge that he had shown Murong Qingyang just now, and turned his face to show it to the young man again.

"This is what the shopkeeper left for me, how can I show it to others again." Seeing this, Murong Qingyang hurried over.

"You didn't pay the deposit, so how can I keep it for you?" The shopkeeper is also a buyer and seller.

"Be honest, and do business, I just told you." Murong Qingyang is also not stage frightened.

"Then, this box of rouge..."The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed.

"A gentleman doesn't win people's love, the son sets it first, then the son buys it, and we will go to another house to see." This teenager with bunched hair is not difficult either.

"Childe, how can it be sold, you have seen so many houses." The entourage next to him complained.

"No nonsense! Let's go. The young man with the bundled hair hugged Murong Qingyang and went out with his entourage.

"Childe, I'm afraid you can't buy the rouge you send to Miss Qiwu in the imperial city." The entourage complains!

"Shut up! Can you also say the name of Qiwu? The boy was angry, and it seemed that he was told his sweetheart, and he was afraid that he would be heard, "Let's go shopping again!" ”

The young man walked away with his entourage, Murong Qingyang took out the silver taels from his arms, took away the box of rouge, and on the way back, he was afraid that the master would know, and he was happy to buy his beloved things, so he took the things in his arms and returned to the Tongfu Inn.

After going back, before the master got up, Murong Qingyang tiptoed into his room and put the rouge in the middle of his luggage, for fear that the master would find out.

"Coming back?" The lazy voice of the master over there sounded.

"Yes, I'll come back after a casual stroll." Murong Qingyang hurriedly packed his luggage and went to stand at the door of the master.

"Did you go out and buy something? When I came back, I hid it. The master was ready to get up.

"No, I didn't buy anything." Murong Qingyang pretended to be very calm.

"I have taken you for so many years, and you are a person who will not lie." The master did not show him mercy either.

"Yes, master, I bought a box of rouge." Murong Qingyang lowered his head.

"In the valley, we are the master and apprentice, you buy a box of rouge...... the master said in a tone of voice, "Didn't you meet some girl on the road?" ”

"Yes, the apprentice didn't hide it from the master, and when I went to Xiangguo Temple, I met a girl." Murong Qingyang's face was red to the root of his ears.

"Haha, the apprentice has opened his mind, too, you are in the age of a weak crown, and you have neglected it for the teacher." The master came out of the room and said with a smile. "Then you asked Miss who her name is, and where is her home?"

"No, I was afraid that I would surprise her, so I didn't dare to ask." Murong Qingyang spoke in a quiet voice like a mosquito.

"This imperial city is so big, how can you see each other again?!" The master was puzzled.

"If there is fate, I will see you again!" Murong Qingyang hurriedly poured tea for the master.

"yes, okay." The master looked at Murong Qingyang with a smile. "Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, we will visit the imperial city, I will point out some special places for you, the day after tomorrow, I will make an appointment for the teacher."

"Yes, master, it's all up to you." Murong Qingyang himself sat down and poured himself a bowl of tea to drink, which suddenly made his throat feel very dry.

"What kind of woman makes you move your heart?" The master looked at Qingyang and asked with a smile.

"With the veil, the apprentice didn't see it clearly, the girl's hand was a good painting, her hand was like peeling onion roots, the wind lifted the curtain to see a little appearance, the skin was very white, the person was also very beautiful, but I didn't see it clearly, and the voice was also very gentle." Murong Qingyang said everything he knew.

"Haha, this vast world, isn't it looking for a needle in a haystack!" The master smiled and said, "That's it, let's get down to business first, and then go to find that woman, what do you say?" If she wishes, you will take her into the valley to get married, and there should be a woman in the valley. ”

"Master......" Murong Qingyang became more and more embarrassed.

"Let's go, go downstairs to eat, you rest early today, and there are still many places to see tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." The master got up and took Murong Qingyang downstairs.

"Master, the Xiangguo Temple in this imperial city is full of incense, you can take a look at it when you have time." Murong Qingyang said about the scenery he watched in the afternoon.

"I've been to Xiangguo Temple before, and I'm all asking for a son and marriage, and I don't need it as a teacher, so it's better not to go." The master happily took Murong Qingyang downstairs.

"Master has been to the Imperial City before?" Murong Qingyang hurriedly asked.

"Yes, I was here a long time ago." The master was reluctant to say more. "Let's go, let's eat. There is a restaurant next to this Tongfu Inn, which tastes good, let's try it. ”
