"Master Pei can't just praise this poem. An old official next to the middle-aged official said.

This old official is the prefect of Jiangzhou Mansion, and he is followed by Lin Xuezheng.

Master Pei smiled: "It takes a lot of Xie Lin to let this official see such a wonderful poem." ”

Lin Xuezheng couldn't help but be secretly happy when he saw that Master Pei admired this poem so much, and he was very happy if he could let this adult remember him a little.

In order to further please Master Pei, Lin Xuezheng said: "Xia Guan is just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, this poet is in the Fuxue Palace, and the person who paints is also there, if the adults are interested in them, Xia Guan can invite them to come over." ”

Zhu Yicai's grandfather used to be Lin Xuezheng's teacher, so he wanted to be a favor so that Zhu Yicai could also show his face in front of Master Pei.

This Pei Daren official to the official department is an important minister of today's holy cronies, and this visit to Jiangzhou immediately alarmed the entire Jiangzhou officialdom.

If it weren't for the dedication of this Goddess of Mercy, I'm afraid he wouldn't be qualified to see this adult in his life.

Master Pei groaned slightly, and said, "Lord Lu, help me push the banquet tonight, I plan to personally entertain the friend who wrote the poem." ”

He didn't say that he wanted to see the person who painted, and Lin Xuezheng was a pity for Zhu Yicai.

Master Lu is the prefect, and he said, "Okay, I'll arrange it." ”

............

"Is there a big man who wants to see me?" Ji Xiao looked at Lin Xuezheng in front of him.

Lin Xuezheng said with a smile: "But isn't it, you made that poem into his eyes, he likes it very much, and I want to entertain you personally tonight, this Master Pei's full name is Pei Shi, and now he is a servant of the Ministry of Officials, and he is also a very important person in the capital." I know that you are an outsider, and you don't follow the official path. But this opportunity should be grasped well, maybe it will make Master Pei happy, you invite him to go to Lanruo Temple, and you can also make Lanruo Temple famous. ”

Ji Xiao smiled: "It seems that Lord Lin must have said a lot of good words for me, otherwise how could this Master Pei think of seeing me." ”

Although Lin Xuezheng didn't expect Ji Xiao to thank him much, Ji Xiao's words still made him happy. He smiled and said: "I am soft-spoken, where can I speak in front of Master Pei, all because he appreciates you, do you have a class today, if you have, I will ask someone to change it with you." ”

Ji Xiao said: "There is no class today. ”

"That's good, you go and get ready first. ”

"Lord Lin, I still have something to ask you, why does Master Pei like to give his son Guanyin, could it be that he has no heirs?"

He said that when he went out of Beijing this time, his wife said that Jiangzhou was picturesque, and there were many famous painters, so he came to Jiangzhou, and by the way he found a Buddhist painting to bring back, Pei was said to be in order to please Mrs., so he decided to find a picture of Guanyin to bring back to his wife. Lin Xuezheng explained.

Ji Xiao bowed his head and said, "I see." ”

Lin Xuezheng said with a smile: "Many people know this news, I can't afford to hire those Danqing national players, and I can't afford to buy famous paintings, so I thought that Zhu Yicai's painting skills are not inferior to those of my predecessors, so I asked him to make a painting for me." After he finished painting, he said to me that if I could find you to write the inscription, this painting would definitely be able to enter the eyes of Master Pei. ”

Ji Xiao smiled slightly: "When I was drinking with him last night, he didn't mention this matter to me. ”

Lin Xuezheng laughed and said: "You were actually together last night, it seems that the relationship between the two of you is still very good, no wonder Zhu Yi wants to recommend you to write an inscription." To tell the truth, this dedication to this painting has made Master Pei remember me, and the prefect also praised me a few times, all relying on the help of the two of you, and after a while, the contemptible people will have a thank you gift to the two of you. ”

Ji Xiao said: "Why should Lord Lin be polite, I still need you to take care of me in the School Palace." ”

Lin Xuezheng said: "This is as it should be, you better prepare early, so as not to be rude to meet Master Pei at night." ”

Ji Xiao said: "Then I'll go first." ”

He Shi Shi ran away.

Lin Xuezheng looked at it with envy and admiration. Although this palpitation master is young, his actions are more like a spring breeze than those children of the big families, and after hearing that he wants to meet a big man like Master Pei, he is also light and light, and he is not much excited.

He has this bearing, and his future achievements will be extraordinary.

After coming out, Mu Qing said: "I think you are really popular." ”

Ji Xiao said lightly: "Just a poem, do you think you can make a high-ranking and powerful servant look so high, and you have to entertain me personally?"

Mu Qing smiled: "You don't allow people to be really in love with your poem." ”

Ji Xiao said leisurely: "You have also been in a high position for a long time, and after your position reaches a certain height, how can you show your likes and dislikes so easily." ”

Mu Qing said: "What's the use of you having so many eyes, when you go to see him, you will know the situation." ”

"Lately what you've said has been making more and more sense. ”

............

The place where Master Pei entertained Ji Xiao was in a painting boat on the Fuqing River, the night had just begun, and the sky was sparse and the moon was light, and Ji Xiao slowly walked to the shore where the painting boat docked.

The closer he got to the boat, the more mysterious he felt in his heart.

He said to Mu Qing in his heart: "It's a very strange power, and it's a little familiar. ”

"It seems that you are not the only one in this world who can combine the Heavenly Demon Sutra and the Emperor Sutra to cultivate, do you say that Lord Pei?"

"I guess so, it turned out to be a clever monk. ”

Ji Xiao smiled freely, which can explain why the other party has to see him.

When he wrote that poem, he more or less retained a little of his own divine will, which others could not see, but in the eyes of the wise monks, it was like a candle.

When he arrived outside the boat, someone came down and asked him to get on the boat.

Obviously, what he looked like and when he would arrive was something to figure out in advance.

Walking into the painting boat, the banquet place was brightly lit, only one person sat alone, and then there were two maids, and a pipa girl in the corner.

"You're the Master of Throbbing. ”

The man who sits alone, looks about forty years old, dressed as a scribe, looks gentle and elegant, looking at his face, he was also a beautiful man when he was young, even now, like old wine, full of charm.

Ji Xiao bowed slightly and said, "The little monk has seen Master Pei. ”

"Sure enough, it was him. Ji Xiao said to Mu Qing in his heart.

Master Pei helped Ji Xiao and said leisurely: "No need to be polite, please take a seat." ”

Ji Xiao sat down beside Master Pei.

Master Pei clapped his hands and said, "Serve." ”

In less than a moment, the first course was served.

It was two white porcelain cups, and the maids each placed one in front of Master Pei.

Master Pei chanted leisurely: "The trees are full of empty mountains and leaves, and the robe blows through the north breeze. I don't know how much autumn tastes, roll up the Hunan curtain and ask the sunset. After reading it, the official was inspired to teach people to make this dish called 'Autumn Taste', you can taste it and see how it tastes. ”

Ji Xiao smiled slightly, and opened the white porcelain cup, which contained a small tomato wrapped in a perilla leaf. He picked it up and savored it.

Slightly sweet in the mouth, it turns out that the shiso leaves are coated with honey, wrapped in pine nuts and a refreshing sauce. The amount of this dessert is very small, and he tasted it carefully and ate it quickly, and praised: "This dish is really good, the tomato is chilled, with honey, pine nuts and sauce, and finally mixed with the unique spicy taste of perilla leaves, it can really make people feel the coolness of autumn, and there is an endless aftertaste." The real good cooking skills do not lie in the freshness and preciousness of the ingredients, but in the matching, and Master Pei combines two ingredients with different natures, perilla leaves and tomatoes, to make them natural and have a long aftertaste, which is really wonderful. ”

On the surface, he said that Pei Shi was good at matching ingredients, but in fact, he implied that Pei Shi could combine the essence of the Heavenly Demon Sutra and the Emperor Sutra.

This is a pun, only the two of them know.

Pei Shi smiled: "This must also be inspired by the throbbing master, so that this official can be perfect." ”

Ji Xiao was relieved, it seemed that this Master Pei was asking for him.

Ji Xiao secretly observed the other party, and vaguely noticed that the aura in the other party's body seemed to be rippling. It seems that he can't be like himself after all, he can fuse the Heavenly Demon Qi and the authentic Taoist Dan Li into one, so there is a hidden danger.

However, how exactly did he cultivate the Heavenly Demon Qi, which made Ji Xiao more puzzled.

Pei Shi clapped his hands again, this time it was not for people to serve.

Immediately, the sound of a pipa sounded in the painting boat.

The melodious sound of the song floats on the water, causing people to reverie infinitely.

Ji Xiao closed his eyes and enjoyed this pipa song. The sound of the song is like flowing water rushing into the wilderness, and the subtlety is like the bright moon hanging high.

The technique of the pipa girl is extraordinary, and it has the effect of penetrating the hearts of the people.

I don't know when the sound of the pipa stopped, but the sound of the song seemed to linger in my ears for a long time.

Ji Xiao slowly opened his eyes and sighed: "After eating good food and smelling good news, it seems that it is difficult for the poor monk to refuse the request of adults." ”

At this time, the maids on the left and right had already left, and the pipa girl was nowhere to be seen, leaving only Pei Shi and Ji Xiao.

Pei Shi made a long gesture and said: "I know that I can't hide it from the master, I see the divine meaning in that word, I know that the master is a rare master, and I also ask the master to use Buddhism to relieve my suffering." ”
