At this time, the daylight is fading, and there are more pedestrians on the road.
The three of them stood together. One is a little girl with embarrassed makeup, the other is a young man in obscene clothes, and the other is a middle-aged man who looks like a rich gentleman. Not only were passers-by pointing at them, but there were also passing carriages stopping to watch, which became a scenery that people could talk about after dinner.
Shen Muqing and Pang Debao watched the red-clothed young man stride forward, and soon turned the road to the Yaowang Temple at the crossroads, where did they dare to shout loudly.
Pang Debao stomped his feet helplessly, and accompanied Shen Muqing to the temple slowly - there were many small stones on the road, and Shen Muqing had to carefully watch the footsteps and walk.
"I said this little sister, our young master has helped you a lot!" Pang Debao chatted with Shen Muqing casually.
"yes!" Shen Muqing smiled, "I don't know what to call your young master yet!" β
"It doesn't have to be!" Pang Debao laughed, "If you leave your name, it will be cheesy." β
Is it cheesy to leave your name, or are you afraid that something will be pushed clean?
Shen Mu smiled lightly, and his mouth was messing with him.
"Steward Pang is chivalrous and courageous, which is admirable...... I listened to the accent of the manager, as if he was from Shanxi. β
"Hey, hey, hey. The girl is really insightful...... My ancestors were there. Your girl is Lord Shen's first daughter, but do you have other brothers and sisters? β
What is he asking for? However, Shen Zhen can be regarded as a high-ranking official in Da Zhou, and if you have the heart to inquire about the situation at home, it is not that you can't inquire about it...... He didn't have to be so cautious to arouse Pang Debao's suspicions. After all, now the two are still in the same boat.
Shen Muqing smiled: "There is only one girl and one young master in our family. The population is simple. β
"Are both of them from each other?"
"The girl is from the grandmother, and the brother is raised in the name of the wife."
Pang Debao nodded, his face turned into a flower, and then he took out two silver bills from his sleeves and handed them to Shen Muqing: "This little sister, little meaning, buy flowers for you to wear." β
Shen Muqing couldn't help but feel sick.
Didn't you say that you didn't have much silver in your hand, but now it's good, it's like magic, and you will take out a silver coin in a while.
"How dare you let Mr. Pang's family break the bank." She looked very frightened and refused.
Pang Debao stuffed the silver coin into her hand: "Little sister, you must continue...... I still have something important to ask my eldest sister ......"
When Shen Muqing heard this, the corners of his mouth curled slightly.
Sure enough, there is nothing to be done, and it is either a traitor or a thief.
She insisted on not accepting the money: "If there is anything in charge, just take orders, in this way, isn't it a shame for me!" I just don't know if there's anything I can do to help. β
"It's nothing!" Pang Debao said in a very indifferent tone, "Our young master is studying in Guozijian, and I heard that Guozijian's Lin Sacrifice Wine is a protΓ©gΓ© of Lord Shen, so I want the little eldest sister to tell your girl, can you give Lord Zhang Shen's name sticker." β
It's about relationships!
"The young master and the chief manager are Bo Yuntian, the head of the family knows, not to mention a small name sticker, even if it is a book, it is not an exaggeration." Shen Muqing smiled, "It's just that we didn't take it with us when we went out...... It's better to wait for us to go back and let the chief steward send it to the house. What do you think? β
Pang Debao thought for a moment and said with a smile: "The eldest sister's idea couldn't be more appropriate. However, we are still living in the inn and are going to buy a yard to settle down, and we have not yet decided on a specific place...... I think the eldest sister sent the name sticker to the Xiangfa silk cloth shop in Wuyiku Hutong in Jinchengfang, and we are acquaintances with the shopkeeper there. β
Shen Muqing nodded: "Don't worry, the manager will do it when you go back." β
The two of them spoke, and when they reached the intersection and turned left, they saw the young man in red standing there with his hands on his chest waiting for them.
"You're turtles!" He said coldly, and then instructed Pang Debao: "Give me the felt." β
Pang Debao was puzzled and handed the felt bag to the young man in red. The young man in red opened the felt bag, took out a book, and tore it in two from his back with a "snap".
"Young master, young master, what's wrong with you? How can you be angry with books! Pang Debao was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, "This is a gift from the fourth master......"
The young man in red ignored it, and put his hand into Pang Debao's pleated clothes: "Give me your sweat towel ......"
Before Pang Debao could react, the young man in red had already untied his sweat towel, and Pang Debao's face was flushed, and he was busy carrying his pants.
The young man in red tore the white silk sweat towel from Pang Debao's waist and said to Shen Muqing: "Sit down!" β
"What for?" Shen Muqing was puzzled, and asked subconsciously, but he annoyed the young man in red. He glared at Shen Muqing fiercely: "I'll wait for you to get to the temple, I'm afraid I'll wait until it's dark...... You sit down for me, tie this book to my feet, walk on the mat, and get to the temple as soon as possible. β
"Ahh Shen Muqing opened his mouth and didn't say anything for a long time.
The young man in red showed a look of "you are an idiot" in his eyes, and threw the torn book and sweat towel at her feet with a "snap", and said impatiently: "Hurry up, do you want me to help you tie it up!" β
Shen Muqing woke up like a dream, as if he had drunk a bowl of chilled lotus seed soup on dog days. She smiled and thanked her, then sat on the bluestone slab on the side of the road, tied the book to her feet according to the instructions of the young man in red, and made a unique pair of shoes.
Walking is still inconvenient, but at least it's not as good as dancing between steel spikes.
******
The young man in red walked in front like a pine, Shen Muqing followed closely with a staggering step, Pang Debao followed with a felt bag in one hand and pants in the other, and the three of them entered the Yaowang Temple with the door wide open.
The temple is quiet, and there is no one to be seen, but the left and right side halls of the main hall are full of shadows, as if there are many people.
It's a weird scene.
The young man in red also sensed that something was unusual.
He pointed to a towering tree next to the Yimen, and said, "You two hide behind the tree for me, wait for me, I'll go see what's going on!" β
Shen Muqing had seen his methods and felt that this arrangement was the most reasonable, but Pang Debao was very worried: "Young master, let's go......
"You're going?" The young man in red smiled, "You can just lift your pants and not hang them, this kind of thing still depends on me!" As he spoke, his expression showed a few more smugness.
Pang Debao's face turned even redder, hanging his head and chattering crookedly, he didn't know what to do, and took Shen Muqing to sit down on the rocks under the tree.
The young man in red took a deep breath and walked leisurely towards the main hall.
may be the reason for being too nervous, Shen Muqing's eyes were always locked on the figure of the young man, and gradually, she noticed something different.
The young man's footsteps were extremely light, his movements were clean, and he was as calm as flowing water.
Shen Muqing suddenly realized: This red-clothed young man who is less than a weak crown is a martial arts master!
The young man in red came to the front of the main hall, looked left and right, and said, "My mother wants me to go to ninety-nine temples, burn nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine incense sticks, and sprinkle ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine coppers...... Why don't you see half a monk, what should I do with my incense money? "His voice is soft, but it is very clear.
I don't know if the content of the young man in red is interesting, or when he heard the movement, two monks immediately walked out in a row. Seeing the young man in red, both of them showed a very far-fetched smile. One of them said: "Little donor, do you want to lose the sesame oil money?" That's it here. Then he pointed to the merit box on the incense table in the main hall.
The young man in red looked around with a childlike and ignorant and curious expression, and said in confusion: "Right here?" β
The two monks nodded repeatedly.
The young man in red listened, and while taking out two silver bills from the purse on his waist, he said: "But when I came, my mother confessed, what else do you want to worship the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor's ......?"
The two monks stared at the silver coin in the young man's hand with burning eyes, and said a little absentmindedly: "Yaowang Temple, Yaowang Temple, of course I worship the Yaowang King......
The young man in red hurriedly put the silver back in his purse and muttered, "You must be lying to me...... There was no one in front of this...... Everyone must have gone to the apse...... I'm going to see ...... too."
When the two monks heard this, they were all shocked, and hurriedly said: "We have a merit to do in the apse today, donor, you still throw oil and incense money in the front hall!" β
The young man in red was furious: "Are you afraid that I won't be able to pay the money?" β
The two monks hurriedly explained: "No, no. We're afraid that rough people will run into you. β
Shen Muqing listened attentively to the nonsense between the young man and the two monks, but Pang Debao beside her said "Huh" and said, "What are these two monks going to do?" Shen Muqing thought that Pang Debao was talking about the monk in the hall, his eyes did not leave the figure of the young man, but he said: "What are you doing, you want money?" Don't think that if they are monks, they are really quiet...... Our family has to donate fifty taels of silver to this medicine king temple every year. In this way, these monks still come to the door from time to time. If it weren't for the simple population of our family and the strict inner house, these monks would have to be more diligent. β
"I mean those monks!" Pang Debao listened carefully to Shen Muqing's words before pointing to the side.
Shen Muqing turned his head and saw that it was the host of the Yaowang Temple with two or three Zhike monks.
Their expressions were solemn, and their steps hurried straight to the Yimen from the side door on the side, and then the host took a monk out of the door, and the other two closed the door.
The sound of "squeak" alarmed the red-clothed young man who was talking to the two monks in the main hall, he looked over in surprise, and the two monks who closed the door also found the red-clothed young man, they glanced at each other, and then hurriedly ran towards the main hall.
