Chapter 8 Restaurants
In the Luoyang Imperial Palace, Yang Guang looked at Mo Wen with some sorrow, "Immortal Master Mo, the oracle bone inscription on this longevity recipe is inevitably too difficult, I have found several ministers with the most outstanding knowledge in the court, but it is only a few hundred words more than the translation of the immortal master, when will I get the full text if I go on like this!" ”
Mo Wen shook his head indifferently, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, if the Immortal Yuan is so easy to get, why do you have to rush to Middle-earth from overseas, Your Majesty can know a few hundred words more than Xia, and the Immortal Yuan is much stronger than Xia." ”
Mo Wen's voice was immediately paused, "And didn't His Majesty also issue an order to recruit well-educated people from all over the country to come to Luoyang?" Maybe there will be more gains, if the full text of the longevity recipe is really translated, then your majesty xià should not forget to be below. ”
Hearing this, Yang Guang's brows also stretched, "This is nature!" ”
Then I heard Mo Wen say: "Your Majesty, I want to take a turn in this Luoyang City and appreciate the local customs of Luoyang, I don't know if it?" ”
Yang Guang was stunned for a moment, and asked with some curiosity: "Immortal Master, how can a Qi practitioner be interested in this mundane thing?" ”
Mo Wen smiled secretly in his heart, he naturally wouldn't have any interest in this ancient capital, he had seen similar scenes in Jin Yong's world for hundreds of years, and he had long been tired of it, but this Luoyang was the eastern capital of the Sui Dynasty, and the gate valve power was particularly strong, for the sake of future plans, he still wanted to make some friends here, but naturally he wouldn't say this to Yang Guang.
"Your Majesty, you seem to have misunderstood something, a qi practitioner is not an ascetic. We don't have so many rules and precepts, we can do whatever we want, as long as we don't violate the way of heaven. To be honest, although the environment in Penglai Island is good, it is not as good as Luoyang in Xià when you really enjoy it! ”
Listening to Mo Wen's half-truths and half-truths, Yang Guang just laughed, after a few days of getting along, the more he looked at Mo Wen, the more pleasing he became, although this immortal master was highly skilled, but his temperament was easy-going. It's not so dogmatic, but it's more to your taste than those pure-hearted, talkative, and tongue-in-cheek Taoist priests and monks, especially after he taught some of the mantras of the longevity formula. He felt that his body was stronger, and he was fierce, making those concubines beg for mercy every night.
He immediately patted Mo Wen's shoulder and said with a smile: "Then the immortal master can go." Just don't forget tonight's banquet. ”
"Know below!"
The next moment, Mo Wen's figure disappeared into the palace.
"Invisibility?"
Yang Guang glanced at the empty hall with some envy. It's not that he hasn't asked Mo Wen for those spells, but it's a pity that he can't learn those ghost-drawn talisman-like spells, but fortunately, he doesn't want to do this, just to seek immortality.
"Idiot!"
At the entrance of the palace, Mo Wen patted his shoulder in disgust and strode away.
Does Yang Guang really think that he has taught him something good? According to the incomplete part of the exercises that Mo Wen gave to the translation, he could have been able to hold on to his body for more than ten years. It is estimated that it will collapse in five or six years, although he does not expect to live to that time. But in the past few days, facing the cheeks that were hollowed out by wine, Mo Wen had an urge to vomit, if it weren't for his future plans, he would have wanted to draw his sword and kill Yang Guang, and he should probably be able to add some new attributes to the Heavenly Sword.
Walking through the streets of Luoyang, I have to say that although the Sui Dynasty has come to an end at this time, the land of Luoyang has become more and more prosperous, Yang Guang is poor and extravagant, and the natural capital is also built beautifully.
Handsome appearance, tall posture, and with that noble temperament, along the way, Mo Wen attracted the attention of passers-by, many girls were slightly red, and kept looking at Mo Wen, some noble ladies took all kinds of opportunities, or asked for directions, or threw away their handkerchiefs in front of Mo Wen to talk to Mo Wen, and a few bold ones even directly invited Mo Wen to the banquet at home, but unfortunately it was just some vulgar fans, and there was no real beauty, all of whom were rejected by Mo Wen with a smile.
I have to say that the atmosphere in the Sui and Tang dynasties was far more open than that of the Song Dynasty, and the influence of Mo Wen's religion in the Song Dynasty was already there, although those girls still looked at Mo Wen secretly, but none of them had the courage to come up and talk.
Dealing with the flying encounters all the way, Mo Wen walked aimlessly on the street.
"Wind and rain building? Nice name! In front of a three-story restaurant, Mo Wen stopped and walked in.
"This son, please here, please here!"
Because Mo Wen's temperament was too outstanding, as soon as he came in, he was seen by the guy, greeted him, and led Mo Wen to the third floor without saying a word.
Mo Wen smiled, took out a small piece of gold from his arms, and threw it to the buddy.
"You're rewarded!"
The guy was suddenly dazzled by the gold, hurriedly put it away, and hurriedly led Mo Wen to a table by the window.
"This is the best location for the shop!"
Mo Wen naturally understood what this guy meant, and scolded with a smile: "Okay, bring your best wine and food, if this son eats happily, your reward is indispensable!" ”
Listening to Mo Wen's words, that guy is Yile, knowing that he has made the right bet, this guest is definitely generous. In fact, this table was originally a position booked by a very powerful person in Luoyang, and it was occupied for a long time, usually this guy didn't dare to occupy it at all, but today Mo Wen is too generous, this guy secretly calculated in his heart that as long as he serves this uncle well, maybe he won't have to work here, and that adult doesn't come every day, he shouldn't be so unlucky, so he was bold and brought Mo Wen here.
Mo Wen naturally didn't understand what this guy was thinking, and he didn't expect that he would cause a lot of trouble because of his generosity.
After a while, the man brought the food and drinks, and then stood aside and served them diligently, introducing one dish after another.
"This sweet and sour carp is a selection of koi fish from the Luoyang River in our store, plus more than a dozen kinds of sauces, with Huadiao wine"
The surrounding tables of guests were left out a lot, and several of them were glaring at each other, if it weren't for Mo Wen's temperament that made them too depressed, they might have started scolding.
Listening to the guy's introduction, Mo Wen lacked interest, for him, who had long been raised by Huang Rong, the food here was barely palatable, and it was not even as delicious as what he made himself.
"Stop! - "Hearing that the guy was still talking, Mo Wen frowned, and took out a small piece of gold from his bosom. "Do you know what interesting things happened in Luoyang recently? Well said, it's yours! ”
The guy looked at the bigger piece of gold than just now, and immediately swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then said with a smile on his face: "This guest, you are asking the right person, if you want to talk about the hottest thing in Luoyang recently, it is none other than the matter of the Mo Immortal Master, and one of my cousins is in the palace-"
"Stop!" Mo Wen frowned, "Is there anything else interesting?" I've heard of this - forget it, can you tell me if there is any beauty in Luoyang, or what kind of strange woman? Mo Wen looked at the somewhat dazed guy and added.
The guy suddenly understood, revealing a look that a man understands, and said: "If you want to say that our first beauty in Luoyang, of course, it is Miss Dong Shuni in the palace of Wang Yuanwailang, although she has just turned fifteen years old, she has already covered the entire Luoyang, and even the concubines in the palace can't compare, once the villain saw it with his own eyes, that is really a strange woman, the late Miss Shen Luoyan of General Shen Guang's family is famous, I heard that her art of war is extremely outstanding, not inferior to any famous artist, It's a pity that the daughter still has Rong Jiaojiao, the daughter of Rong Fengxiang, the elder of the Luoyang Gang, who is also a stunning person."
Not to mention, this guy's news is also well-informed, Dong Shuni, Shen Luoyan, Rong Jiaojiao, gently reading these three names, Mo Wen just showed a bright smile.
"There is also Miss Dugu Feng of the Dugu family" I don't know what I thought, the guy's face was slightly ugly.
At this moment, a somewhat gloomy male voice suddenly came from the staircase.
"The kid over there, you are so bold, you dare to occupy the position of the uncle!" (To be continued......)
