Wang Tong nodded and said: "Marriage is a major event, it should not be fornicated in private. The Generalissimo was right. But ......" The great Confucian frowned and asked, "The generalissimo's parents should be gone, right?" Are there any elders in your family? ”

In that year, the Sui Dynasty conquered Chen in the south, and the Chen clan was almost slaughtered. Although Empress Chen barely saved his life, all the concubines around him were also killed. After being taken to Chang'an, he himself died of illness within a few years. In a few years, the children of Empress Chen will also encounter these or those accidents one by one, in short, no one can die well. Almost all of you have experienced the above historical facts. Chen Sheng suddenly said that he wanted to repay the elders in the family, and the first thing that everyone thought of was that he was prevaricating again.

Facing the skeptical eyes of everyone at the banquet, Chen Shengshen was calm and calm, and said: "Chen has his own family, and there is really no one in this world. But Master, Master, Master, Master is Father. Chen's elders are still there, and this kind of marriage is a major event, of course, you have to ask his old man's opinion first. ”

That makes sense. Wang Shichong's noodles, which were already as black as the bottom of the pot, became a little better-looking. "I see," he asked. I wonder who the generalissimo's master is? ”

Ouyang Xiyi, the "Yimin of Huangshan" next to him, said: "It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the generalissimo has the ability to come from the Shaolin Temple of Songshan. Could it be the generalissimo's master, or a certain senior monk in the Shaolin Temple? It's convenient. Sending people from Luoyang to Shaolin is only three or four times to send people back and forth. ”

Chen Sheng said casually: "Chen is indeed related to Shaolin, but his old man is not any of the senior monks in the Shaolin Temple now. As for his old man's name, it is the way and the faith. ”

Ouyang Xiyi was suddenly taken aback, and shouted loudly: "Master Daoxin? Could it be that what the generalissimo said is one of the four great holy monks in the world, the four ancestors of Zen Buddhism, Master Daoxin? ”

Between Master Daoxin and Chen Sheng, in fact, there was no formal establishment of master and apprenticeship. However, Chen Sheng was born in Hongmen, which is a branch of Shaolin, and was accepted as a closed disciple by Master Fang Zheng, the abbot of Shaolin, in "Smiling Proud Jianghu" Shijie. In addition, Shaolin is the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism, and Master Daoxin is the fourth ancestor of Zen Buddhism. In the former rì White Horse Temple, it was through Master Daoxin that Chen Sheng got the second volume of the Divine Foot Sutra. Calculated in this way, it can barely make sense to say that Chen Sheng is a junior disciple of Master Daoxin.

The cultivation of the four holy monks is unfathomable, and it is not inferior to the three great masters of the world. However, the four eminent monks did not regard themselves as people in the rivers and lakes, so they never cared about the mundane affairs in the rivers and lakes. Therefore, everyone here, including Wang Shichong, has no knowledge of it, let alone heard of its prestige.

At this time, seeing Ouyang Xiyi's nervous expression, everyone couldn't help but be curious, and they asked one after another. Ouyang Xiyi explained a few words. Only then did everyone know that the four holy monks turned out to be like this. At the moment, everyone couldn't help but be amazed. Wang Shichong frowned and said, "It turns out that the master of the generalissimo is such a master. So, I don't know where Master Daoxin is now, how to get in touch? ”

Chen Sheng said with a smile: "His old man has traveled all over the world, and his whereabouts have always been uncertain. As a disciple, it's not easy for me to meet his old man. However, he was friendly with the three masters of the Huayan Sect, the Three Treatises Sect, and the Tiantai Sect, and often traveled together, and maintained close contact with Buddhist monasteries in various places. Therefore, as long as Chen goes to the White Horse Temple to deliver a message, I believe that his old man will definitely come to Luoyang in a few days, and he will not have to wait too long. ”

Wang Shichong stretched his eyebrows and said suddenly: "It's no wonder that when the generalissimo first entered Luoyang, he chose to stay in the White Horse Temple." Alas ~ not afraid of generalissimo jokes. I only have one sister in my life, but she went early, leaving only little Nini alone. So I, as an uncle, have always treated her like a jewel. Seeing that she will be eighteen next year, if she can't marry again, she will become an old girl, and it will be difficult to find a good in-law. As a last resort, he was cheeky and entrusted Brother Wang Tong. Hehe, the generalissimo smiled. ”

Chen Sheng said with a smile: "Lord Shangshu licks the calf deeply, everyone is too late to be moved, who will laugh at Lord Shangshu?" Since Lord Meng Shangshu can afford it, after Chen went back, he immediately entrusted the White Horse Temple to spread the news, believing that there will be a reply before and after the New Year, and he will never dare to delay and delay, and he will live up to the good intentions of Lord Shangshu. ”

I finally got a good letter, although it wasn't very satisfying, but that's it. Wang Shichong knew that this was just the first time we met, and our friendship was still shallow, and the conversation was not deep. Moreover, it is nominally a marriage, but in essence it is an alliance between Wang Shichong and Wagang Army. It is true that such a major matter cannot be decided so easily and hastily.

All in all, Chen Sheng did not immediately refuse, which means that there is still room for negotiation. In the future, we can continue to make efforts to finally make this matter successful, so there is no need to be busy for a while. Don't talk about it anymore. During the banquet, everyone was interested, and immediately changed the conversation to talk about various anecdotes on the rivers and lakes. But in the blink of an eye, the hall was full of laughter.

Wang Shichong arranged this banquet, obviously not intending to end it in a hurry, but to drink it for a long night. Therefore, after three rounds of drinking, there are singers and dancers who come up to perform. After the singing and dancing, it was the samurai of Fuchu who came out to wrestle, and the juggling team performed various skills such as swallowing swords and spitting fire, which can be described as extremely lively. However, if you drink too much, you will inevitably have some internal urgency. Chen Sheng stood up and wanted to leave the table temporarily to change clothes. Wang Shichong hurriedly pointed out a beautiful maid and asked her to help Chen Sheng lead the way.

Leaving the hall, he walked in a zigzag way down the hallway. Blocked by dense vegetation and heavy doors, the noise and laughter in the distant hall could no longer be heard at this moment. There was only silence everywhere. Under the faint light of the lantern, a jīng pavilion appeared at the end of the hallway. The maid hurriedly took a few steps forward, opened the door of the Warm Pavilion, and respectfully invited Chen Sheng to enter.

Chen Sheng stepped in, only to see that the warm pavilion was about four or five steps in size. The floor is covered with a thick layer of purple carpet. On the left side is a convenient place, which is made of rosewood for people to sit on, and the shelf is also wrapped with brocade mats. Underneath is the lid, also made of rosewood, with a wooden handle that makes it easy to reach for and lift it. The underneath is covered with goose feathers, so you don't have to worry about embarrassing noises when it's convenient.

On the wall on the right side of the warm pavilion, there is a large polished bronze mirror, which shines softly under the light. Under the mirror is a jīng dresser. Next to it is a small jīng-chic waterwheel that constantly brings water into the warm pavilion, swirls in the sink, and then flows out of the pipe on the other side. In addition, although it was already the cold and windy midwinter outside the door, the inside of the warm pavilion was as warm as chūn. Apparently there are special pipes installed in the floors and walls, so that hot water can be used to heat the walls.

Such a restroom, if placed in the 21st century, is actually nothing. But in the current era, which is equivalent to about the sixth century in history, to build such a warm pavilion, the amount of effort and money spent is definitely not a small amount.

In terms of status, Zhai Rang and Li Mi are better than Wang Shichong. But in Rongyang City, there is absolutely no building similar to this warm pavilion. And Wang Shichong has not yet won the world, and he has not even fully obtained the control of Luoyang City, so he is already so poor and extravagant. It can be seen that he is really not the material for the world. Otherwise, even if you are pretending, you should also put on a picture of sharing the joys and hardships with your subordinates, and the appearance of hardship and simplicity to buy people's hearts.

Chen Sheng shook his head and chuckled. I don't bother to care whether Wang Shichong is extravagant or simple. Walk to a convenient place and lift the board cover, unbuckle the waistband and start to make it easier. It was resolved in a matter of moments. Chen Sheng re-fastened his belt and walked to the waterwheel to wash his hands. His hands had just been dipped in water, and suddenly, the door of the Warm Pavilion behind him was opened from the outside, and a slender figure flashed into the Warm Pavilion, eating and laughing: "Brother Prince, why did you come here alone?" Do you want someone to serve you? "It's Rong Jiaojiao.

Chen Sheng frowned, washed his hands, and said, "This is a convenient place, not one person, is it convenient for two people to be together?" It's you, aren't you going to take care of Dong Shuni? What do you want to do here? ”

Rong Jiaojiao did not shy away from coming over at all, and said in a greasy voice: "Okay, brother prince, you haven't married yet, have you started to care about Xiao Nini?" Alas~ You men, you are so greedy for the new and forget the old. When he saw the fresh, he threw the old good aside. Woo, people are so sad to say. As she spoke, she boldly hugged Chen Sheng's strong and powerful arm, sandwiched it between her plump two snow peaks, and pressed it a little harder. The rounded twin peaks rebounded outward, but they couldn't withstand the force of the xiangxia pressure, and they were finally forced to change their shape.

Chen Sheng's heart fluttered slightly, and then he retracted his thoughts, ignoring the other party's protests, and forcibly withdrew his arm. said coldly: "Hey, your appearance is much better, is there still one missing me?" Don't mess around. This is Wang Shichong's Shangshu Mansion. There's someone out there. When something happens, everyone has nothing to do with it. Hmm~ Or is this what you want to achieve? ”

Rong Jiaojiao pursed her mouth and said with a grudge on her face: "Brother Prince, how can you think of others like this? Yes, don't hide it from the prince's brother. People have indeed had a few photos before. But it's just a scene, and Jiaojiao has never taken it seriously. Brother Prince, you're different. Since that day...... Hehe, these days, I have been thinking about you at night, and I am thinking about you, brother prince, and almost no one is awake at night. ”

Chen Sheng smiled dumbly and said, "You are really direct. Immediately admit that he has other friends. Miss me? What do I have to think about? ”
