Chapter 8, Wuzhou

Early the next morning, Su Chenye called Gu Ziyue to get up, and Gu Ziyue had already gotten up. The two of them went downstairs to have breakfast together.

The two of them used some light porridge and set off for Wuzhou Academy. Wuzhou Academy is built on the halfway of Wushan, which is not a big mountain, but it is said that you can see the Buddha's light on the top of Wushan, so Wushan has always been revered as a holy place, and many people go here every day to have a good view.

When I arrived at Wuzhou Academy, there was a boy standing at the door, and I saw the two of them saluting respectfully.

"I've paid a prayer to Master Hongyi, and I'm tired of going in and passing it on. “

"Your Excellency is Master Su, Master explained, if you come, you can go in directly, and you don't need to pass it on. “

"Then bother the little master to lead the way. “

The two exchanged only a few words, but Gu Ziyue couldn't help but be impressed by the two. Su Chenye is the prince of a country, and in the face of a lowly gatekeeper scholar, he has no arrogance, and has always been humble and polite, and the scholar, although his status is low, he does not feel flattering between his words, which is really valuable. In the end, it came out of Wushan Academy, and the etiquette is really thoughtful.

On the way, Su Chenye took the opportunity to talk to this doorman: "When did Master Hongyi come to Wushan Academy?"

"Master Hongyi has been here for seven or eight days, and he plans to leave after giving three lectures on Buddhism at the academy, so he will leave about tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. “

Su Chenye nodded and said no more.

Soon the three of them arrived in front of Master Hongyi's courtyard, and there was a little monk guarding the door, and he saluted after seeing the three of them.

"This is Mr. Su, a guest of Master Hongyi. ”

The little monk was very polite, and immediately took Su Chenye and Gu Ziyue into the courtyard.

"Please wait, Master, I'm meditating right now, I'll go and say goodbye. ”

Su Chenye was about to nod, when he suddenly heard a loud laugh coming from the flower hall: "Su Chenye, you came quickly."

Gu Ziyue couldn't help but be stunned, and called Su Chenye by his name, the two seemed to have known each other for a long time.

"Master Hongyi, don't wait for a few months, okay?"

Seeing this, the little monk quietly retreated, Hongyi didn't answer Su Chenye's question, looked at me and asked, "The girl is handsome." “

When I heard this, I hurriedly saluted and said slowly: "The master is polite, I am the daughter of the Gu family in Yuezhou, Gu Ziyue." “

Hongyi waved his hand and laughed: "Girl, you really torment me, you are the crown princess of the Western Han Dynasty, how can I afford your courtesy?"

"The master said with a smile, we are here today, only as Su Chenye and Gu Ziyue, not as the crown princess of the Western Han Dynasty, I hope you don't want to see outside. ”

Monk Hongyi really laughed, turned his head to Su Chenye and said, "This trip is not to come to see me, is it? “

Su Chenye smiled slightly: "Master Hongyi is proficient in medical skills, my Empress of the Han Dynasty is seriously ill, I was entrusted by my father to come, and I hope that the master will go to Xijing to have a look." “

Hongyi's beard was curled, and he said without being salty: "The queen is seriously ill, and you are still worried about your concubine." “

Gu Ziyue was taken aback, and openly proposed the identity of Su Chenye's concubine, this Hongyi is really psychologically strong.

Su Chenye was not angry, and said lightly: "Queen Pei was originally pitiful, and it would be okay to keep her alive for a few more years." “

"Although Queen Pei has no biological son, but the eldest prince beside her is eyeing your crown prince, don't think that you are sitting firmly in the East Palace, the crown prince is dominant, the emperor of the Western Han Dynasty doesn't want to see this situation, besides, Su Chenrui is not stupid, where do you get the confidence to fight others?"

"What the master said, Chen Ye naturally kept it in mind, but Queen Pei is a poor person, the battle for imperial power, there is no need to involve innocent people, besides, I don't want you to cure her, she won't die, hanging a life, and I will pay back what my mother did to her. ”

Monk Hongyi nodded and said, "Then when will I leave?"

"The wedding team will not arrive in Xijing for another month, and you will enter Beijing with the team in a month, and I have arranged for someone to pick you up. ”

"And when are you two going to arrive?"

"We are going to go up the mountain tomorrow to the top of Wushan, wait there for more than ten days, see the Buddha's light, and then continue to go north to Wenzhou, Wenzhou city Wang mother-in-law last year brewed pear blossom brewed almost opened, just in time, to taste, by the way to bring back to the Han some, after leaving from Wenzhou, you can go west, first to Fenzhou, take her to see the waterfall of Yushan, then there is a month, February and March, the spring is bright, naturally to take her to see the peach blossoms of my Han Yudu, and then go to half a month, summer is coming, go south to Lingzhou, when it arrives, the lotus of Linghu Lake is also about to bloom, wait for more than ten days, wait to see the lotus and then go north back to Beijing。 ”

Hongyi was helpless when he heard this, waved his hand and said, "Why don't you take her to see your Agarwood Pavilion?"

"The headquarters of the Agarwood Pavilion is far away in Langzhou, and there is no scenic spot in Langzhou, so I will have the opportunity to go in the future. ”

Gu Ziyue didn't have any opinions, but said: "It's already April or May when I go back like this, how can I explain it?"

Su Chenye turned his head and said with a smile: "We were kidnapped by Su Chenrui. “

Gu Ziyue was stunned for a moment: "How can he admit such a trumped-up charge?"

"Then it's up to him. Hongyi, you will have to testify to us then. “

Hongyi waved his hand, although he really wanted to travel with them, but he couldn't help himself, and he really envied him.

The three of them had lunch together, and Hongyi played three more games of chess with Su Chenye, but he didn't think about losing, so he said unwillingly: "You kid is too treacherous, and he cheats everywhere." “

Su Chenye didn't think so, just smiled and didn't refute.

"How about the next game with me, girl?"

"She is married to me, and she must not call me any more girls. so as not to cause misunderstanding among others. Su Chenye suddenly interjected.

"Hahaha, Mrs. Nasu and I are good for the next game. “

"I'm not good at chess, and I'm afraid of the grandmaster's jokes. “

Su Chenye said with a smile: "Don't worry, although the master is called a master, his chess skills are also very average." As he spoke, he got up and let Gu Ziyue sit in his original position.

Gu Ziyue could only sit down and start sorting out the chessboard. The two of you come and go, of course Gu Ziyue knows that Hongyi's chess skills will not be bad, even if it is poor, it is only relative to Su Chenye, so she plays attentively. Although Hongyi is a monk, his chess style is not indecisive, but he is very sharp and decisive, and Gu Ziyue and his person, although the etiquette is thorough, but he is the best at disguise, and he is very easy to use in a short period of time, Hongyi can't even defeat her. For a while, the two of you have gone through a hundred tricks.

But Gu Ziyue's Taoism was too shallow, and she was defeated by a cunning guy like Hongyi, and in the end she could be defeated. "I'm not good at chess, which makes the grandmaster laugh. “

"Madame, don't be modest, although I can't compete with your husband, but there are not many people who can make a hundred moves with me, and there are even fewer women, Madame is young, but her chess style is very sophisticated, and she is ruthless, not like a lady raised in the boudoir, but more like a battle-hardened warrior. Hongyi replied very seriously.

Gu Ziyue smiled: "The master praised it, I started playing chess when I was very young, I played with my mother when I was a child, I walked cautiously every step, I took one step to see a hundred steps, and then played with my grandfather, learned the art of playing chess improvised, and gradually became bolder." “

As soon as Hong nodded, Su Chenye and Gu Ziyue proposed their resignation.

On the second day, the two got up early in the morning, put on very capable clothes and prepared to go up the mountain, and there was a section of the road to the top of Wushan that could not cross the horse, but could only walk, so many people did not want to go, but those who climbed to the top must sincerely go and wish to see the beautiful scenery.

The two of them set out in the early hours of the morning, bringing some dry food, and when they arrived, it was already lunchtime. There is a temple on the top of Wushan Mountain, and Monk Hongyi always spends several months in Wushan Temple every year.

The temple is not big, the front yard preaches the scriptures, the backyard is reserved for pilgrims to stay, pilgrims come here, all for a glimpse of the scenery, so most of them have to live for ten days and a half months.

When the two arrived, there was a little monk standing at the door of the temple, and when they saw the two, they hurriedly saluted: "The two donors are polite, but they are friends of Master Hongyi?"

Su Chenye nodded: "Little master doesn't have to be polite, take us to the place where we live first." “

"It's a coincidence that the two of you came, and the Buddha's light will appear tomorrow. “

When Gu Ziyue heard this, she smiled lightly: "Then our luck is not bad." What is the pattern for the appearance of this Buddha light?"

The little master smiled lightly: "Usually once in half a month, but sometimes if you are unlucky, you won't be able to see it when you encounter bad weather." “

The three of them arrived at their place of residence while talking. Gu Ziyue asked a little ignorantly: "Little master, is there only one room?"

The little monk was obviously stunned for a moment: "Master Hongyi said that only one room can be arranged, aren't the two husband and wife?"

Gu Ziyue smiled a little embarrassedly: "Is there still a house now?"

The little monk was even more puzzled, lowered his head and thought for a while: "No, a female guest came last night and stayed in the last room, what's the inconvenience for the two of you?"

Su Chenye chuckled lowly and said, "It's not inconvenient, you go down, just boil a pot of Hongyi's good tea and send it over." ”

The little monk went down in a daze. Su Chenye looked at Gu Ziyue, she stood there with an embarrassed face, and couldn't help but make him laugh.

"What's wrong with you?"

Gu Ziyue had no choice but to say, "We're now, oops, I'm not ready." After all, we have known each other for too short a time, and suddenly like this, so intimate, I am very unaccustomed to it, Hongyi is really a villain, deceitful behind his back, and when I go to the Western Han Dynasty to clean him up. “

Su Chenye looked at her: "What are you not ready for, are you not ready to marry me?"

Gu Ziyue didn't speak, Su Chenye suddenly pulled her over, Gu Ziyue was startled, her face was full of shame, and she didn't dare to look up at him. He pulled her, but he didn't know what to say, so he just pulled her, Su Chenye at that time saw Gu Ziyue with such a blushing face, and suddenly his heart moved, this stubborn girl, this beautiful girl, this shy girl, this brave girl, is his wife, Su Chenye is already twenty years old, and he has a family and a country behind him waiting for him to protect, but at that moment, he just wants to protect this shy girl, his wife.

Sometimes he thinks, how good it is to be an emperor, there are so many beautiful women in the harem, holding the world, holding the power of countless lives, enjoying the endless wealth of the world, those things that others can't get in their lives, the emperor can easily get. But when he grew up, he slowly felt that his father was not the happiest person in the world, on the contrary, he lived a humble and hard life. But Su Chenye still doesn't know who is the happiest person in the world. Just now, when he saw Gu Ziyue's face full of red xia, he thought that if anyone could stay with this girl for the rest of his life, he would probably be the first happy person. So he didn't hesitate and clung to her.
