Chapter 41: Brother Dharma

As soon as Liu Daniu said this, Ye Changqing and the two soldiers at the same table almost didn't spit out the tea that had just been drunk in their mouths, Ye Changqing turned his head and peeked in the direction where Shen Junyi was sitting, and then turned his head and glared at Liu Daniu fiercely.

"Shut up, you rammer, no one will treat you as a dumb person if you don't speak!"

Liu Daniu muttered a little aggrieved: "Who told you that I don't understand anything, what I said is the truth." ”

In the face of Liu Daniu's straightforward temperament, Ye Changqing also had a feeling of being powerful and having nowhere to go, so he could only lower his head and continue to drink tea.

The two tables were already very close to each other, and Liu Daniu's voice just now was not small, Shen Junyi heard his words clearly, and two traces of blush could not help but fly on his cheeks at the moment.

She doesn't know what kind of feelings she has for Yang Yingqian now, although her father regretted the marriage that day, and she also strongly opposed it, but it was more because of the constraints on her behavior from the education she received since she was a child, not how deep her feelings were for Yang Yingqian.

But through this period of time and Yang Yingqian's relationship along the way, she felt that the man in front of her did not seem to be as useless as her father said, maybe if her father had not regretted his marriage that day, there would have been nothing that happened later, thinking of this, Shen Junyi couldn't help but sigh lightly.

"Miss, but you're not feeling well?" Banxia saw that her young lady's mood seemed to be a little low, and she couldn't help but ask with concern.

"It's okay, maybe I'm a little tired of hurrying!" Shen Junyi said with a slight smile.

At this time, the shopkeeper who had just left came over with an iron plate, and there was a small charcoal stove in the iron plate, and a clay pot was placed on top of the charcoal stove, and the soup in the clay pot was steaming, and there were some red dates and green onions floating on it.

The shopkeeper carefully put these things on the table, followed by a guy from the back kitchen, also holding a tray, on which were a few plates of thinly sliced meat, some tofu and cabbage, and a few small plates of bean curd and leek sauce next to it.

Seeing the plates on the table one by one, Shen Junyi was a little puzzled, these meats and vegetables are all raw, do you want to eat them like this?

At this time, Yang Yingqian walked out of the back kitchen with a smile, sat back next to Shen Junyi, and couldn't help but smile again when he saw her puzzled look.

"This winter, eating a few meals of hot pot shabu can warm up the body, this way of eating is more popular in the former court palace, but few people have heard of it among the people, I also learned from the book by chance, I just tried it today!"

Shen Junyi looked at the bright red flesh on the plate, but her eyebrows frowned slightly, although she was not considered a fine food since she was a child, she had never seen raw meat on the table, so she was a little uncomfortable.

Seeing that Shen Junyi seemed to be worried, Yang Yingqian smiled slightly, picked up a few pieces of meat with chopsticks and threw them into the hot pot.

This meat slice is cut very thin, it is cooked in the pot for only a moment, Yang Yingqian took out the cooked meat slice and dipped it in the dipping sauce a few times and put it in his mouth, at this time, the pigs and sheep have not been fed with feed and hormones in general with later generations, the meat quality is excellent, Yang Yingqian couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

"Mutton is warm, eating more in winter is good for your health!"

Seeing that Shen Junyi still didn't move the chopsticks, Yang Yingqian simply took another chopstick mutton slice and put it in the pot to cook, dipped it in some dipping sauce and put it on the plate in front of Shen Junyi.

Seeing Yang Yingqian looking at him with eager eyes, Shen Junyi had no choice but to pick up a small piece of chopsticks in the dish and put it in his mouth tentatively.

After chewing a few times, Shen Junyi found that there was no fishy smell as imagined, and even the smell of mutton was covered by the smell of green onions and red dates.

Seeing that Shen Junyi seemed to like eating very much, Yang Yingqian couldn't help but smile on his face, and ordered the shopkeeper to serve Ye Changqing a hot pot on their table, considering that they were all rough men, and specially asked them to serve a few more portions of meat.

Ye Changqing and they have never seen this way of eating, and they liked the taste of hot pot after a little try, especially Liu Daniu, who can take away half a plate of meat with one chopstick, except for Ye Changqing's food, the rest of them are full of oil.

After a hot pot in his stomach, Yang Yingqian felt that the chill on his body had faded a lot, and he was about to drink another cup of hot tea to warm up his body, when three men dressed as businessmen walked into the inn, called the shopkeeper to order a few side dishes, two pots of soju, and sat down at a table not far from Yang Yingqian.

As soon as he sat down, one of the merchants wearing a melon skin hat looked at the other two people mysteriously: "Have you heard, Senior Brother Wang is going to Lijiayu tonight to teach the Fa, do you want to go to see and understand at night?" ”

"I heard that this Senior Brother Wang's spell is very effective, can this matter be serious?" Another merchant with a goatee under his chin asked curiously.

Before the merchant in the melon skin hat could reply, another merchant with a black mole on his right eyebrow picked up the wine on the table and took a sip of it, the spicy taste rushing to his nose, and the merchant couldn't help grinning.

"You also believe in the methods of such charlatans, I, Li Jun, have been traveling south and north for so many years, and I have never seen anything, it is all a trick to deceive people!"

The merchant wearing a melon skin hat on the side made a silent gesture at the merchant named Li Jun with a cautious face.

"Brother Li Xiu wants to say more, it is rumored that this Wang Daoist's Dharma Body is everywhere, be careful that he listens to it, have you forgotten what happened to Wu Yuanwai in Yuncheng some time ago?"

Although Li Jun still looked disdainful, he also closed his mouth when he heard the melon skin hat mention the matter of the Wu family in Yuncheng, and he didn't say anything more and just drank with his head bored.

Yang Yingqian, who was on the side, listened to the conversation between these people, and couldn't help but be suspicious in his heart, he was preaching the Fa and a senior brother, don't be a cult, the common people in this era generally have no culture, and they can easily be used by people with intentions.

Now the Ming Dynasty is an eventful season, and the north is fighting with the Tartars for many years, and if a fire breaks out in the backyard, it will be troublesome.

At that moment, he glanced at Ye Changqing and asked him to take care of the surroundings, and he walked to the front desk and asked Xiao Er for a pot of wine, and walked to the three merchants with the wine jug and sat down.

"A few brothers, can you talk about it?" Yang Yingqian looked at a few people with a smile, and sat next to them without waiting for them to agree.

When a few people saw Yang Yingqian's dress, they looked at the guards sitting at the other table, and the bento was a rich boy who went out to play, and he also bowed his hand politely to Yang Yingqian.

"Listening to the childe's accent, it doesn't seem to be from Shandong, right?"

The merchant named Li Jun looked at Yang Yingqian and asked, although Caozhou is an important town for communicating between the north and the south, and there are usually many businessmen from all over the country who come and go from the south to the north, but at this time it is already a cold winter, coupled with the heavy snow in the past few days, there are not many people going north, and this noble son in front of him with two female dependents and four guards can't help but make people feel strange.

Hearing Li Jun's question, Yang Yingqian smiled slightly: "This brother has good ears, and the younger brother is from Fujian, and this time he went to Beijing to defect to his elders." ”

Saying that, Yang Yingqian immediately changed the topic without a trace.

"Just now, the younger brother heard a few brothers talking about what senior brothers and teaching the Dharma, and the younger brother also likes to delve into some Buddhist things on weekdays, I wonder if a few brothers can tell the younger brother about it?"

The merchant wearing the melon skin hat seemed to be particularly fond of talking about this topic, and seeing that Yang Yingqian wanted to find out what they had just discussed, he took the initiative to talk about it.

Some time ago, a Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe who claimed to be a disciple of a childless old mother came to Caozhou, and his family name was Wang.

After Wang Daoist came to Caozhou, he often moved in the village below, specializing in helping the poor to eliminate disasters and solve problems, ordinary headache and brain fever, only a spirit talisman can be healed, and he did not take a penny, only asked the people who were cured to follow him to chant the scriptures, and later Wang Daoist gathered more and more people around him.

Later, as the fame of Daoist Wang grew, the big families in some villages and towns below had to invite Daoist Wang to come to the door if there was something at home.

Listening to the melon skin hat's narration, the doubts in Yang Yingqian's heart increased even more, could it be the White Lotus Sect, so he asked.

"This Senior Brother Wang is acting like this in Caozhou, is there no one who has any doubts about him?"

Hearing Yang Yingqian's words, Li Jun, who had been silent on the side, sighed heavily..........
