Chapter 603: Isn't it the Mandate of Heaven?
After picking up people, Bianxuan said goodbye directly and went to a courtyard in the temple.
This courtyard is located in the middle of the temple, it is a place where pilgrims stop, and there is no one in the courtyard, so Xuan Xuan directly pushed the door in, and went straight to one of the rooms.
The door of the room was also empty, and when I opened it, I saw a thin old monk, sitting cross-legged on a futon in the middle of the empty room.
Originally, the old monk was sitting with his eyes closed, but when Bianxuan came in, he opened his eyelids and looked over.
"Uncle Shi. Debate bowed respectfully.
But then, the two fell silent.
After a long time, the thin old monk spoke: "Your heart is in turmoil." ”
"Yes, my heart is upset. Bianxuan simply admitted.
He was a little puzzled: "Zhou Xuan is the demon king, although he has not completely cultivated, but such a big demon, I am afraid that the person who suddenly enters Beijing is not good, we really want to cooperate with it?"
The old monk's expression was calm: "The Sanskrit law is vast, and there is a fate for Guangdu, and there is a karma for becoming the king of Ming." ”
glanced at Bianxuan again: "Besides, even if he wants to do something, we don't need to care, this is the retribution that the Great Zheng Dynasty should have." ”
Debate Xuan looked puzzled and asked, "Uncle Shi, what do you mean by this?"
The old monk didn't answer and asked: "You Dao Ji Zicheng can't study, he has failed several times in the imperial examination, he is just a show talent, relying on some connections to be an inspector in the county, even if he has achievements, but there are more people in the world, I don't know how many, why is only he able to seize the opportunity, lift a three-foot sword, and sweep the world?"
"Isn't it destiny?"
Bianxuan said, but he was extremely smart, and immediately woke up, if this is the case, why do you say this, and asked in surprise: "Could it be that Ji Zicheng can win the world, and there is also the factor of the demon clan?"
"At that time, there was a cause and effect with the demon clan, so you can only enter Beijing because of the demon clan?"
Yes, it's not that the Great Zheng Dynasty owes the demon clan cause and effect, and it is impossible for the quasi-demon king to enter Beijing like this.
After Bianxuan was surprised, he found that Uncle Shi closed his eyes again and stopped talking.
That's what it means to send off a guest.
Bianxuan sighed in his heart: "The last time I failed to get close to Princess Xinping, I didn't pay much attention to it in the eyes of Uncle Shi, since Uncle Shi didn't want to talk to me more, it wouldn't be interesting to stay any longer." ”
Thinking of this, he saluted the old monk and withdrew.
I don't know when it rained outside, and the rain was very thin, it was really like God was reluctant to rain, and it was "sprinkling oil".
Spring rain is as precious as oil, and although the rain is not large, it can moisten the land.
Bianxuan didn't have an umbrella, just walked like this, I don't know why, and walked back to the courtyard where Zhou Xuan lived, and suddenly couldn't help but think to himself: "I don't know if it's in the Taoist temple outside the city, what about the princess now?"
The former owner of this courtyard is the current Dai Guogong, unlike many people who are not optimistic about Dai Guogong, and the young emperor and grandson have been in contact with this young emperor and grandson several times, and have some confidence in Dai Guogong.
I must ask why I have confidence, probably because the words and deeds of the three kings, as well as their talents and abilities, are not as good as this imperial grandson.
Unfortunately, he was recognized too late. "If he was recognized two years earlier, maybe Dai Guogong's situation will be much better.
No matter how capable a person is, it also takes time to operate.
"Mr. Zhou?"
In the drizzle, a person also walked slowly, and Xuan Xuan walked a few steps quickly to follow.
Zhou turned his head and glanced at it, and smiled: "Master Xuanxuan......"
"Mr. Zhou doesn't have to be so polite, the name of the master, the little monk really doesn't dare to be. "Bianxuan wanted to say that just now.
Zhou Xuan listened to it, and was as good as a stream: "Then ...... Little Master Xuan?"
Come on, Bianxuan smiled and asked, "I don't know where Mr. Zhou is going?"
Zhou Xuan looked into the distance: "Naturally, I want to take a look at this capital, it's not easy to come here, wouldn't it be a pity not to have a good look at this capital?"
"Makes sense. Bianxuan nodded: "Why don't you be a guide for a little monk?"
Beijing Xiuwan Street
The name of this street is related to the embroidery workshop that existed in the previous dynasty.
Many skilled embroiderers from all over the country gathered here, at the beginning it was because of the high salary recruitment of embroidery workshop, and when the embroidery shop opened one after another, there were not many small and medium-sized shops patronized by many guests in embroidery workshop, which fed the embroidery girl outside the top.
After Da Zheng entered the capital, this street has basically not changed, and it is still a variety of embroidery shops, attracting groups of women who are interested in embroidery.
Zhou Yao is strolling around on this street with a female companion at the moment, except for the man who comes with his wife and daughter, it is rare to see a single man on this street, and even the men and shopkeepers who greet the female relatives are mostly women, which also makes it cold for a while after the outbreak of the Lin Yuqing incident, but it does not hurt the bones.
"Ah Yao, what do you think of this fan?" The female companion who was shopping with Zhou Yao pulled Zhou Yao and motioned her to look at a beautiful fan she was pointing to.
In this era, women from poor families basically know how to do needlework, and the daughters of the eunuchs and nobles do not have to do basic needlework, but it is essential to learn the "delicate" female red that is a little difficult to embroidery.
In this case, you can also have the confidence to open a shop to sell embroidery works, which in itself proves the quality of these embroidery products.
Don't say it's the embroidery workshop, that is, the smaller shops they walked through before, the quality is slightly inferior, but they are all boutiques, but they are different for the customer base, those shops are for the women of ordinary small officials or ordinary rich families, and the embroidery workshop is for the women of the elite class or rich families.
Looking at the embroidery that her female companion motioned her to see, Zhou Yao took a closer look: "It's a fine piece." ”
This is a kind of double-sided embroidery that few people can know, because Zhou Yao has only learned embroidery roughly, and is not very interested, and does not recognize what genre it is, but no matter which genre, as long as it is double-sided embroidery, it must be a rare craft.
The female companion looked at it a little critically, and then turned her gaze to a fan not far away: "A-Yao, what do you think of this?"
At this moment, Zhou Yao's ears moved, stunned, and seemed to be listening.
"A-Yao, A-Yao?" asked twice, and seeing that Zhou Yao didn't respond, the female companion looked over puzzled, and saw that Zhou Yao was suddenly stunned.
"Huh?" Zhou Yao came back to his senses.
"Ah Yao, why are you absent-minded, are you thinking about someone?" asked the female companion with a grin.
Zhou Yao shook his head: "It's nothing." ”
This is the mysterious female voice talking again.
But although the two of them are not very good close friends, they can be regarded as friends who often come and go, and they are also related to each other, and they are cousins who are a little more distant, and when she heard this answer, she raised her eyebrows, and Zhou Yao knew that she would not believe it.
On weekdays, Zhou Yao may explain a few more words, but when she suddenly heard the news just now, she was a little anxious, and when she saw that it had aroused her suspicions, she simply said goodbye to her.
"I'm sorry, I suddenly thought I had something to do, let's go first, and I'll hang out with you another day, okay?"
The female companion was a little unhappy in her heart, and only smiled: "What's this? ”
