Back then, Xie Jingxi's father Xie Renyu was outspoken, framed by traitors in the court, arrested and imprisoned, the Xie family disaster was coming, the Xie family's mansion gradually became uncared for, Xie's status in the political arena plummeted, the hostile forces in the Xie family court repeatedly sent killers to kill Xie Jingxi, Xie Jingxi was almost killed twice, Xie Jingxi's uncle Xie Renlu had no choice but to send Xie Jingxi to the Hanging Temple, and asked the senior brother of the silent monk to help take care of and cultivate, after that, Xie Jingxi stayed in the Hanging Temple for nearly ten years, he became a monk in the Hanging Temple, and later, the new emperor ascended the throne, and his father and uncle were reinstated, Xie Renyu died less than a year after he was released from prison, his uncle was promoted to the right attendant of the household department, and the officials of the court sent officials to invite the emperor to let Xie Jingxi serve in the court, Xie Jingxi was taken out of the Hanging Temple by his uncle, entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate to serve as the capital, and became a Zhengqipin official.

When Xie Jingxi first served as an official in the court, Xie Renlu often led him to visit the friends of the Xie family officialdom in order to let Xie Jingxi get acquainted with officialdom friends, and once, Xie Renlu led him to a general's mansion to visit a general Guo, who had worked together in the DPRK, of course, they were also more familiar with each other.

When Xie Jingxi followed his uncle to Guo's mansion, what Xie Jingxi didn't expect was that General Guo was known to him, and he didn't expect that he could meet an elegant and virtuous young woman in Guo's mansion that he had been missing.

Two years before Xie Jingxi said goodbye to his master, Master Silence, and his uncle, Master Silence, and left the Hanging Temple, Xie Jingxi met two people that he had never forgotten in his heart.

One day. Xie Jingxi's master, Master Shankong, called Xie Jingxi and told him: "Apprentice, today the master asked you to do something, you must do it well, a respected general came to the capital, and brought his daughter to the Hanging Temple to worship the Buddha, and after a while, the master accompanied them to the guest hall to drink Zen tea, and you led them to the Hanging Temple to visit around, you must do a good job in this matter, and you can't be lazy." These two donors came to the Hanging Temple on purpose. You must accompany them!"

Xie Jingxi thought to himself: "Master has always treated officials and generals the same as ordinary donors, what's wrong today, why do you treat these two so specially?" In fact, his master didn't sue him. The general who came was a good friend of Uncle Xie Jingxi. He is also an important person who finances the Hanging Temple.

"Master. Rest assured, the disciples will accompany them to the various places of the monastery and treat them as VIPs. You won't be wrong. Xie Jingxi said.

"Okay, okay, that's fine, you go back and rest, and come back later!" Master Silent Sky asked Xie Jingxi to leave for the time being, because he had some things to say to the general who came into the temple, and these words were not known to Xie Jingxi for the time being.

Xie Jingxi felt that his master was a little mysterious today, but it was inconvenient to ask, he was a little unhappy in his heart, but his master's order was difficult to disobey, so he had to return to the meditation room.

An hour later, a little monk came to convey the words of Master Silent Sky and asked Xie Jingxi to accompany the general on the tour.

Xie Jingxi arrived at the guest hall of the temple, and after entering the door, Master Lonely Sky said to the general: "This is the old man's apprentice Jingxi, and he will accompany you and your daughter to visit all parts of the temple. ”

"Haha, okay! Jingxi is still very handsome in a monk's robe, and we will be very happy to have you with us, haha!" the general said.

"It is a small honor to have the opportunity to accompany the general on a tour, and I hope you can enjoy your visit to the Hanging Temple this time!" Xie Jingxi said.

"Since you call me a general and don't call me a donor, it also shows that you can not be called according to the habits of the temple, so you don't have to call me a general, my surname is Guo, my name is Songtao, you can call me Uncle Guo, so it is closer to Xie and it is convenient to speak, okay?" Guo Songtao said.

Xie Jingxi looked at the general, only to see that he was strong and heroic, and knew that he was a bold person, so he was no longer polite, and said: "Since the general has this request, the little one will listen to your orders and call you 'Uncle Guo', and it is also a great honor to meet such a heroic uncle as you!"

Xie Jingxi thought in his heart: "Uncle Duo took me into the Hanging Temple and worshiped Master Shankong as a teacher, but I am just a layman, not a real monk, and it is also allowed to call General Guo 'Uncle Guo', not to mention that this Uncle Guo has a very bold personality, he is very easy to get along with, and he is also happy to be with him." ”

"Okay, Jingxi, this is my daughter 'Guo Huizhi', get to know her, you will accompany us on a tour in a while, she may ask you if she doesn't understand anything, she likes to ask this and that, you can introduce her to the scenery everywhere, let her see and see. Guo Songtao said.

Xie Jingxi looked at Guo Huizhi, only to see that she was slender, with an egg-shaped face, a pair of very bright eyes under her soft eyebrows, charming and moving, her lips were not opened, and her charm had been revealed, at this time, she was gentle and silent, but it was conceivable that her demeanor must be very elegant, she smiled at Xie Jingxi, and said in a gentle and crisp voice: " I'm sorry to trouble you, and I'm going to give you a lot of advice, and tell me more interesting things about the Hanging Temple, but don't listen to my father's nonsense, the little woman is not a blind person, but she is very happy to come to this famous ancient temple!"

Guo Huizhi said, quietly looked up at Xie Jingxi, and saw that although he was wearing an ordinary monk's uniform, it was not difficult to see that his face was dignified and handsome, his eyes were very bright under his thick eyebrows, his eyebrows were heroic, the bridge of his nose was smooth and rhyme, his lips were not thin or thick, two dimples were looming, his chin curved was soft and rigid, his figure was moderate, and his demeanor was chic, revealing a compelling handsome spirit in him.

Guo Huizhi's heart trembled, feeling that Xie Jingxi's handsome spirit made her heart move, she hurriedly lowered her head and stopped talking.

Xie Jingxi looked at her and lowered his head, and suddenly realized that he himself was also staring at Guo Huizhi, he also felt embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say for a while, he thought to himself: "I am wearing monk's clothes, although I am a layman, I am also practicing in the temple at this time, so staring at a young and beautiful female benefactor is too inappropriate." ”

Guo Songtao said: "My daughter is coquettish and has an opinion on her father, but I am praising you, and I want Jing Xi to tell you more stories about the Hanging Temple, but you still don't appreciate it, haha!"

Xie Jingxi eased his excitement and said: "The little one is fortunate to be able to accompany you on the tour, so naturally I will do my best to make you swim happily, and the little one will talk about what he knows, but I am afraid that the little one is only shallow in his studies, and it will make Uncle Guo and Miss Guo laugh." ”

"You don't have to hide it from me, just now, Master Lonely Sky has already told me, you have learned a lot of knowledge in the Hanging Temple in the past few years, you have mastered a lot of knowledge, you are talented, you are already a very knowledgeable young man, you just show your knowledge, and suppress my daughter's pride, so that she will not be arrogant in front of me, haha!" Guo Songtao said with a smile.

Xie Jingxi heard the meaning of Guo Songtao's words, he thought: "This Uncle Guo is a bold person, but he is also very wise, he said this is not only to praise me, but also to test me, and at the same time, he is also to praise his daughter, there is really something to say." ”

Xie Jingxi said: "Uncle Guo, don't scare the little one, in front of you and Miss Guo, how dare the little one talk about any knowledge, the master must want you to test the little one, the master is deliberately making the little one ugly, and the little one doesn't know what to do?"

Guo Huizhi listened to Xie Jingxi's words, and she pondered: "This handsome layman is not only elegant and dashing, but also keen, showing modesty in his conversation with his father, and showing that he is very valued by his master, and at the same time very good at pretending to be stupid. He said to Xie Jingxi: "Don't be modest, this time there are two audiences from afar, why don't you take the opportunity to perform, let our father and daughter learn your knowledge and see your talent, otherwise, when we leave, you will have less important audiences, so don't pretend not to understand." ”

Guo Huizhi felt that she seemed to be very familiar with Xie Jingxi, and when she spoke to him, she didn't need to be polite and polite, she was idealistic, she could say it very casually, and she couldn't help but joke with him.

Guo Songtao felt that his daughter was a little different from usual today, she was usually very polite and polite to people, how did she become funny today, she just met Xie Jingxi, and she said funny things, he felt that these two young people had something to say.

Xie Jingxi listened to what Guo Huizhi said, and he was very happy, he felt that Guo Huizhi seemed to be very close to him, and when he spoke, he wanted to be amused, which made him feel warm in his heart. He said to Guo Huizhi: "Obey Miss Guo's instructions, I will definitely take this opportunity to do my best, take out the skills I have learned, be courageous, take the stage solemnly, and 'perform' seriously, I am not afraid of making a fool of myself, please give Miss Guo more advice!"

"Haha, you two young people, as soon as they met, they 'performed' in front of the old man, talking funny things, amusing each other, interesting, interesting!" Guo Songtao said.

Xie Jingxi was a little embarrassed, he didn't know how to speak for a while, and he didn't know how to respond to Guo Songtao's words, so he had to respond quietly and with a smile, and let Guo Huizhi answer.

Guo Huizhi said: "Dear father, you are talking nonsense again, it is you, the 'little nephew of Jingxi', who is 'performing', your daughter is not performing, her daughter just wants to take this opportunity to ask your 'little nephew' for advice, can you understand?"

"Okay, you ask for more advice, let's go, take a look around, little nephew Jingxi, show your skills to perform, there is a young female audience waiting to enjoy!"

Xie Jingxi led Guo Songtao and Guo Huizhi to go up the plank road and wooden ladder up the mountain, Xie Jingxi explained all the way, Guo Songtao listened to Xie Jingxi tell the story of the Hanging Temple, and watched the conversation and exchange between the two young people attentively, he felt that his daughter already liked Xie Jingxi a little bit in her heart.
