Chapter 6: The Difficult Sutra

Dao rhyme, and the recitation of the scriptures, said some of the images, very similar to the word card, song card. The ancestors of Zixiao Palace came from all over the world, and this rhyme was naturally a little messy.

For example, in the morning class, the recitation of "Xuantian Baoyu" uses clarifying rhyme. Some of the scriptures on the side use Guangfu rhyme, and some use Guangcheng rhyme, and recently they are fused to form a unique Wudang rhyme.

Every three days and a morning class, the Taoists gather in the Zixiao Palace, and chant the scriptures under the contrast of drums and Taoist rhymes.

Xue Wei secretly complained in his heart, it is really strange that he has to learn how to sing first.

Liu Zhenying pondered for a while, and when he saw that everything was stopped, he got up and said goodbye, only saying that he would come to visit again in the evening.

Xue Feng got up to send him off, and in the blink of an eye, he was the only one left in the room. The room was dim, and the charcoal horn in the brazier sounded, staining the inner room dark.

It took Xue Jin a while to feel the warmth, and then he untied the big gun. He leaned in and roasted the fire for a moment, and when it was completely warm, he immediately felt bored. The indoor display is simple, but a bed, a cabinet, a table and two stools.

He picked up the clothes in the package for a moment, folded the clothes in the package into the cupboard, and then found a miscellaneous book from the cage and sat on the bedside to look through it.

After reading a miscellaneous book, he didn't see any vision on his body, and Xue Jun was suddenly disappointed. I sneered to myself, thinking that the gray snake last night was just a strange dream.

In the middle of the day, the footsteps outside are approaching, the door is ringing, and someone is humane: "The trail is long?" The little Zhou Fu came to deliver food to the little road chief. ”

Xue Wei put down the miscellaneous books, got up and said, "Please come in." ”

Then I saw the door open, and a man carrying a food box came in with a cold wind. The man was of medium height, with an ordinary face, and he smiled before anyone spoke: "Don't blame the little road chief, all cook and say that the little road chief has a bad disease, and the daily diet is different from the usual, so you need to start a new stove, it's a little late, and please ask the little road chief to be strange." ”

Xue Gong traveled through the previous 40 years of experience, and he could see that this person was exquisite, slippery and hands-free. Seeing that this person's outfit was just ordinary people, he wondered in his heart, how could this Zixiao Palace serve ordinary people? Could it be the people who are serving around you?

Xue Min immediately got up and said: "It's serious, and the carbuncle in the lower lungs is in the body, which is really tiring and virtuous." ”

"Huh? can not be called a virtuous person, if the small road chief does not dislike it, it is okay to call the villain Zhao Si. ”

While speaking, Zhao Si put down the food box, opened it, and took out the dishes from the inside, and the aroma of the food suddenly escaped. Xue Jun glanced at it, a piece of multigrain steamed buns, the kind with more noodles and less miscellaneous grains; a bowl of shredded porridge; There is also a steamed fish.

He was surprised in his heart: "This meal was arranged by the chef?" ”

Zhao Si said with a smile: "I heard that it was arranged by Chen Gaogong. ”

Arranged by Chen Deyuan? There is no oil star in this meal, but it is all high protein, which is suitable for tuberculosis patients, and this Wudang Zixiao Palace really has a set.

couldn't help but be curious, Xue Jun said 'slack', and couldn't wait to take a bite after sitting down. I only felt less oil and less salt, and immediately frowned slightly, and then stretched out again.

That Zhao Si observed the words and looks, and hurriedly explained: "Chen Gaogong said, Xiaodao Chang can't eat oil and salt for this evil disease, and the chef personally watched the master of the stove room cook, but it is still appetizing?" ”

Although Xue Wei was extremely dissatisfied with the taste, he also knew that it was for his own good, so he immediately nodded with a smile: "It's just right, please thank Du Chef for me." ”

Xue Min got up, and with a shake of his sleeve, a gold leaf fell into his hand, and then stuffed it into Zhao Si's hand without a trace of fireworks.

Zhao Si immediately smiled, and he couldn't close his mouth with joy: "Eh, this is ...... The trail is quickly withdrawn, this is unacceptable. ”

Xue Wei said: "In the future, you must not bother the layman, but it is just a little heart, and the layman should not push it." ”

"This ...... Hey, then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate? ”

Seeing Xue Wei smiling and full of encouragement, Zhao Si immediately carefully put it into his arms. Now gold is expensive and silver is cheap, and the gold leaves are about one or two weights, which can be exchanged for eight taels of snowflake silver.

What is the concept of eight taels of silver?

Da Yu is not a Ming Dynasty, so naturally there is no Zheng He to go to the West. Counting the Western calendar, this should be the middle of the fifteenth century. The West has not yet begun to make great geographical discoveries, so naturally there will be no inflow of silver from the Americas.

Therefore, the usual copper coins can not be exchanged for one or two silvers, and it will take about 1,200 copper coins to exchange for one or two silvers.

At this time, the price of brown rice is 50 wen per bucket, 8 wen per pound of pork, 15 wen per pound of beef, and 5 wen per pound of chicken.

A family of five in Jiangnan can have enough food and clothing with 20 taels of silver a year.

Based on the price of rice alone, one catty of rice costs four yuan, and one tael of silver can buy three hundred catties, which is equivalent to about 1,000 yuan in later generations.

I got a tip of 8,000 yuan for delivering a meal, not to mention Zhao Si, who has no knowledge, it is estimated that the takeaway brothers in the future will be crazy.

Xue Wei had a lot of doubts in his heart, and when he saw that Zhao Si had accepted the gold leaf, he immediately said, "Do you still have something important to do?" If you have nothing to do, you might as well wait, and you can save yourself from picking up the lunch box again. ”

"It's okay to be small, then it's bothering."

Xue Wei asked him to sit down, and then sat down at the table and ate by himself. The sick meal with less oil and less salt was naturally extremely unpalatable, and while he was patiently eating, he talked to Zhao Si to divert his attention from the food.

"Who are the laymen?"

"The little one is originally from Luoyang, and he came to this Wudang Mountain with his friends three years ago."

"Oh?" If you are not a local, then it is not ordinary labor. "The layman has lived here for three years, and I think I am quite familiar with the palace."

Zhao Si smiled and said: "Hey, don't dare to say it, in this Zixiao Palace, except for the cultivation place in the back mountain, there is nothing small that I don't know." ”

"Do laymen have to take care of things every day?"

Zhao Si's eyebrows fluttered, and he said proudly: "The little one was only promoted to the head of the meal three months ago." ”

"I see, congratulations."

Under Xue Wei's deliberate compliment, Zhao Si was quickly fluttering, and some of them didn't say anything, but Xue Wei figured out the details.

This Zhao came to live in Zixiao Palace in the fourth or third year, and he became a layman in the guest house. His family was poor, so he naturally didn't have much money, and he became a fireworker.

In the first year, the toilet was cleaned and water was delivered; The second year the garden was watered for one year; This year, I went to the capital kitchen, and this came out of the crowd and became a meal.

Rice, as the name suggests, is the one who manages the rice. There are three capitals, five lords and eighteen heads in the Shifang Hall of Zixiao Palace, all of which are in charge, all of them are in charge, all of them are speaking, and all of them are kitchens; The five masters are the hall master, the hall master, the scripture master, the transformation master, and the quiet master; The eighteen heads are the head of the storehouse, the head of the village, the head of the hall, the head of the clock, the head of the drum, the head of the door, the head of tea, the head of water, the head of fire, the head of rice, the head of vegetables, the head of the warehouse, the head of the mill, the head of the mill, the head of the garden, the head of the pot, the head of the trough, and the head of the net.

Zhao Siyan said that there are no less than 100 fireworkers in this Zixiao Palace, more than the official Taoist priests, and this person can be mixed into a meal in just three years, which shows that he is exquisite...... At least the sycophants are very skilled.

"It's really disrespectful and disrespectful, Xiaodao will rely on Zhao Jushi more in the future."

Zhao was full of color, but he got up to avoid the salute and said with a smile: "Don't tease the small one, the little one is from a prominent background, and Chen Gaogong is taking care of him, where do you have to rely on the small one?" But the small ones will depend on the small path in the future. ”

The two of them blew each other in business, but Xue Juncheng's mansion was deeper, and there was no trace of compliments. That Zhao Si has some villainous ambitions.

At the end of the meal, Zhao Si took the food box and said goodbye. When he went out, before he walked to the stove room, Zhao Si was shocked.

This time, Zhao Si was ordered by the lord of the capital to come to the bottom, where did he think that he had just spoken, but he didn't find out anything, but he said the bottom.

As soon as he entered the stove room, the chef shook out: "Zhao Si, how about the envoy?" ”

Zhao Siqian bowed to the end: "Lord, although this person is young, he is clear-minded, I am afraid that he is not a master who is easy to fool." ”

"Oh? How? ”

"The little one talks to him, and he talks well, and he is indeed a boy and brother, but he is humble and polite, and he is very good at flattery. The little one couldn't help but boast, and for a while he was fluttering, but he only cared about boasting about himself, but let the little boy get to the bottom. ”

After saying this, Zhao Siyue said that the bottom of his head was getting lower, and he only felt panicked. I thought that I couldn't go to the bag to get things, but where did I think of hunting geese all day long and calling geese to peck their eyes? That little boy was only eleven or twelve years old, how could he have so many thoughts?

Chef Du frowned slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, Zhao Si asked in a low voice, "The little one is ashamed of the master...... Why don't you go and explore it again in the evening? ”

Du Chef shook his head: "Forget it, since that boy is clear-minded, then he can't be allowed to notice." I'll test it for someone else. ”

"Little shame."

………………………………

said that Xue Wei stayed in the room for an afternoon, and it was Zhao Si who delivered the food in the evening. It's just that this time Zhao Sixing was in a hurry, put down the food box and said that there was still something important, and then left in a hurry.

Xue Wei wondered in his heart, he only felt that Zhao Si's expression was unnatural, and his gaze was quite resentful, but he couldn't figure out what this thing was thinking after thinking for a long time.

He rested alone that night, and naturally there was nothing to do all night. On the second day, before dawn, because he went to bed early, Xue Gong woke up as soon as the morning drum sounded.

Before he could get up, Liu Zhenying came to visit.

"Has my junior brother woken up?"

"Senior brother, wait a minute!"

Xue Wei got up and quickly dressed neatly, hurriedly lit the oil lamp, and then opened the door.

"Why did Senior Brother come so early? Could it be that he is here to preach the scriptures? ”

Liu Zhenying corrected with a gentle smile: "It's for the junior brother to preach the scriptures, not to pass on the scriptures." ”

The difference between one word and a thousand differences. Preaching is preaching, preaching is preaching. In addition to telling the scriptures, the preaching of the scriptures also has to explain the key points. It is the duty of the master to pass on the scriptures, and Liu Zhenying has only been in the mountain for a few years, so he naturally does not have this qualification.

Liu Zhenying held a scroll of scriptures in his hand, and the two entered the inner room, and after sitting down, they began to preach. This scripture is not long, but it is a treasure of heaven.

I don't know if it's because of the blessing of the original owner or what, Xue Min is now deaf and clear, Liu Zhenying only read it three times, and Xue Yun can recite it backwards.

provoked Liu Zhenying to praise: "No wonder Uncle Chen said that the junior brother has the posture of a celestial man, and he can recite it backwards after reciting it three times, and the junior brother is really talented." After a pause, he said: "Since the junior brother can already recite, then I will teach you to clarify the rhyme." ”

Liu Zhenying began to teach Xue Chun to sing "Xuantian Treasure Message", Liu Zhenying sang a sentence, stopped and waited for Xue Chun to sing again.

As soon as Xue Wei said the first sentence, Liu Zhenying began to frown slightly, and as soon as the three sentences passed, this gentle senior brother Liu was already pinching his eyebrows and his heart was as big as a fight.

"Senior brother is really ...... The words are amazing, but I am afraid that the junior brother will not understand the rhythm in the future. ”

Xue Wei was also stunned, good guy, he was the best singer at the company's annual meeting before he crossed over, how could he become a five-tone incomplete after crossing one time?
