Sunrise in the East and Rain in the West (2)
In addition to the mahogany tables and chairs, there is also a pot of bamboo in the corner of this private room, which is green and lovely, and there is a painting on the wall behind Li Ke, which reads: "Do not live without bamboo."
The muscles and bones that read the words were very similar to the words seen in Li Ke's Xuande Hall that day. There was confusion in her eyes, and she turned her head to look at Li Ke.
Li Ke still had a faint smile on his face, and when he saw Xiao Xiang looking over, he nodded slightly.
Xiao Xiang was puzzled, and he didn't know what he was nodding...... Following his gaze, there was a bright red seal in the lower corner of the word, but fortunately, the seal was not an incomprehensible seal character, but an ordinary regular script, so I could understand it.
It turned out to be Li Ke's handwriting.
"It turns out that it was written by Brother Ke," she couldn't help admiring, "although I don't have any research on calligraphy, but this character is handsome and flying, and it looks pleasing to the eye." ”
She really doesn't know much about calligraphy, and even several famous calligraphers only know Wang Xizhi and Yan Zhenqing...... At this moment, he couldn't find any more beautiful words, but fortunately, Li Ke didn't seem to care much, so he just heard him laugh and said: "Xiang'er's mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter, so I really shouldn't order osmanthus stuffing, if it continues to be so sweet, I'm afraid the bees will run to your mouth." ”
While laughing, the dishes I ordered before were delivered one by one.
Xiao Xiang has not eaten vegetarian food, in modern times, Nanjing Jiming Temple, Qixia Temple; Changzhou Tianning Temple and other places are also very famous, I have been there with friends, and the taste is really good. But at this time, she was completely attracted by the dish in front of her. This dish is completely different from modern ones, and it looks exquisite just by putting it on the table.
Just look at this stomach-warming soup.
The whole road is based on gold, but in the middle is spread out a white lotus flower like jade, and the lotus leaves are fields under the flowers, and the emerald green is intoxicating. The three colors are mixed together, and they are not mixed at all, but they are like a white painting, beautiful and beautiful.
With a surprised expression on her face, Li Ke saw it and couldn't help laughing: "This golden is corn soup, white is ginkgo juice, and green is lotus leaf soup." Corn soup and ginkgo biloba juice are both sweet, and lotus leaves are greasy, and the three are eaten together, which has a unique flavor. As he spoke, he served a bowl for her, and the white porcelain spoon was mixed up, and the picture was suddenly destroyed, and Xiao Xiang felt distressed when he saw it.
But the destruction was also destroyed, and she scooped it lightly with a small spoon in the bowl and put it in her mouth. A sweet fragrance ripples out in the mouth, so mellow that you want to swallow your tongue together.
It's delicious.
Li Ke's fingers slid over the other dishes, all of which were exquisitely furnished and tasted first-class.
Xiao Xiang couldn't help but sigh that the ancients would enjoy it, if these dishes could be passed down to future generations, I am afraid that the mouths of those restaurants that want to laugh will not be able to close.
I suddenly sighed in my heart, but I was busy with the food in my hand and sent it to my mouth.
However, although the second floor is all private rooms, it can be separated from people, but it cannot be separated from sound. The sound of talking and laughing between the neighbors came from time to time, Xiao Xiang stopped his chopsticks slightly, and there were some doubts in his heart, the voice was very familiar...... Who could it be?
"Since the wind does not move, the sails do not move...... That's the heartbeat. "The voice was deep and magnetic, like somewhere before.
"Buddhists pay attention to the tranquility of the mind as water, and if the donor wants to achieve great merit, he needs to start from here." Xiao Xiang will not forget this voice, it is a debate, a voice as clear as water.
"The Zen master has a profound Dharma, I wonder if I am fortunate enough to ask the Zen master for some advice?" From the sound of this voice, the man was very sincere.
"Huh?" Li Ke also heard this conversation, but he was slightly puzzled, and his eyes met Xiao Xiang's eyes, so he smiled slightly and said in a low voice, "It's Fang Yiai." ”
There was a little worry in his eyes, Xiao Xiang didn't care too much, but he didn't think that this rough-looking Fang Yiai was actually interested in Buddhism, it seems that it is really "Buddhism boundless".
On a whim, she actually got up and lifted the curtain and went straight to the next door. Li Ke couldn't stop her, so he had to sigh and get up and go with her.
Next door is the debate machine and the widow of the house, the two sit opposite each other with cups, and there are three or two small dishes on the table. Seeing Xiao Xiang and Li Ke coming in, both of them were taken aback, obviously not expecting her to be here.
However, the surprise was only a matter of that moment, both of them got up and saluted, and Li Ke waved his hand: "It's not in the palace, don't be polite to the two of you." But Gao Yang was reckless and taught the two jokes. ”
The two didn't dare to say together, rearranged the dishes and chopsticks, and invited Xiao Xiang and Li Ke to take a seat.
So the dishes were all re-ordered, and the four of them sat around the table, but they didn't know what to say for a while, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. Xiao Xiang has always been outgoing, and neither the debater nor Fang Yiai are annoying people in her eyes, seeing that everyone is not talking, she spoke first: "I didn't expect Buddhism to be so profound, even the son of Fang Xiang is so fascinated." ”
A trace of discomfort flashed on the face of the bereaved love, and he nodded, and did not speak, but raised his glass and poured it violently.
Fortunately, Xiao Xiang's focus was not on him, nor did he care about his expression, and turned his head to look at the debate.
"Does the Zen master know the reason why I came to Huichang Temple this time?" Somehow, she just wanted to make it difficult for her to get off the debate. Knowing that his reason for this is just to avoid the fate of going to get married, he just wants to see what he says.
There was a pause on the debate plane, and he didn't answer for a while.
Li Ke frowned slightly, and opened his mouth to bring the topic away: "I just saw that the abbot was lecturing, don't you have to go to the Zen master?" ”
The debater smiled and shook his head slightly: "That's where the poor monk came from." ”
Li Ke glanced at him a few times, but turned his head away and poured himself a drink. The debate machine didn't react, but taught Xiao Xiang to look stunned, not knowing what the two were fighting.
Fang Yiai also had a blank expression, Xiao Xiang glanced at him, and his heart was a little depressed.
She has never liked such a handsome guy with grassland style, saying that she can't keep up with the trend or is not fashionable. She doesn't like this type of man after all. I always feel that they have a manly idea, and maybe they will beat their wives...... Although this ancient person is even more machismo, but if he looks elegant on the outside, it will be less painful to fight, right?
However, now Li Shimin seems to be determined to marry himself to this bereaved love. How did she not panic? Not to mention, that's how it was recorded in history.
Xiao Xiang furrowed his eyebrows and looked up at him a few more times.
Her eyes swept over, and the bereaved love of the house seemed a little panicked, Xiao Xiang couldn't help but wonder in his heart, what was he so anxious? Could it be that there is something wrong?
thought of that day when he heard that Li Shimin gave him a marriage, but he also looked reluctant.
Xiao Xiang's heart couldn't help but move, if Fang Yi fell in love with the excerpt and resigned, maybe he wouldn't have to marry him. She rolled her eyes and pulled out a smile: "I heard that Gongzi has a study of riding and archery, can you give some advice to this palace?" ”
She's talking nonsense with her eyes open, she's not interested in any of them, and she has a natural fear of horses. A few days ago, Li Ke wanted to teach her to ride a horse, but she refused to approach even if she died.
When Li Ke on the side heard this, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at her, his eyes full of surprise.
Xiao Xiang pretended not to see it, got up and walked out. It's about her lifelong happiness, and she can't do it if she doesn't fight...... Fang Yiai couldn't, although he had a reluctant expression, he could only follow quickly.
