Chapter 20 Hongtai Inn
The inn where Li Zhichang and Yang Guo and others stayed was called Hongtai Inn. Yang Guo went to the post house with Guo Fu yesterday evening to find Yin Zhiping, where the inn was and how to go. Therefore, Yin Zhiping is also very convenient to find at this time. I asked for directions twice on the way and found the place.
This Hongtai Inn is not too far from the Watergate Wharf they entered the city yesterday. Obviously, Li Zhichang did not go far with the team, but chose the nearest one.
After getting out of the carriage, Yin Zhiping took Shi Bingyun into the inn, and he went to the counter to ask the shopkeeper. Li Zhichang and they only moved in yesterday, and there are many people, and most of them are Taoist priests, the characteristics are very obvious, and the cabinet still remembers it clearly. As soon as Yin Zhiping asked, he immediately remembered without looking through the registration book, and then asked the shopkeeper to lead them over.
Li Zhichang and they had a lot of people, and they directly chartered a small cross-courtyard. After the shopkeeper led Yin Zhiping and Shi Bingyun to the gate of the courtyard, he said goodbye and left, letting them go in by themselves. The courtyard gate is a circular moon gate, and the door is not actually installed, and the inside and outside can be seen transparently.
Yin Zhiping looked into the courtyard and saw Yang Guo and Guo Fu sitting at the stone table in the courtyard chatting and talking, but the others were not in the courtyard.
Yang Guo's eyes were sharp, and he took the first step to see Yin Zhiping, and hurriedly got up and shouted happily: "Master!" shouted, and hurriedly trotted over, and Guo Fu also got up and followed.
After running two steps, Yang Guo had already seen a beautiful girl of the same age as Yin Zhiping beside him, and couldn't help but feel strange. After coming over, he looked at Shi Bingyun and asked Yin Zhiping, "Master, who is this?"
Guo Fu was also very curious about why Yin Zhiping was following a girl. But after coming over, he still saluted Yin Zhi first: "Uncle Yin." ”
Yin Zhiping responded. nodded to Guo Fu and beckoned Yang to say, "Let's go in and talk." "Step into the courtyard first. Shi Bingyun also looked at Yang Guo and Guo Fu curiously, and walked in after Yin Zhiping.
After walking into the courtyard for a few steps, I heard "squeak" sounds one after another, and the doors of the houses on both sides of the courtyard were constantly opened. But Li Zhichang and other Quanzhen disciples in the room heard Yang Guocai's shouting "Master", and they all knew that Yin Zhiping was here.
At this time, it was not long after lunch, and Li Zhichang and the others also came back from lunch in front, most of them were resting in the room, and no one went out, so the people were very complete. Even Yang Guo and Guo Fu. There were a total of sixteen people in the group, all of whom were there.
After Li Zhichang and the others went out, they saw that it was indeed Yin Zhiping who arrived, and they all came forward to pay respects. After Yin Zhiping returned the salute one by one, he was greeted by everyone to the hall facing the courtyard gate. After taking his seat, Yin Zhiping and Li Zhichang said a few words, and after asking them about the situation here, he pointed to Shi Bingyun who was standing beside him and said to everyone: "I introduce to you that this is my new disciple today. The surname is Shi, the name is Bingyun, and she is the granddaughter of Shi Xianggong, the prime minister of the dynasty. I went to the Shi Xianggong Mansion with Master Lu for a banquet today, but I didn't expect to get a good apprentice. ”
Everyone heard the news. I couldn't help but be surprised. Yin Zhiping's acceptance of a female disciple was already unexpected, it was very strange, I didn't expect that this female disciple was still the granddaughter of the prime minister. This is even more surprising.
In fact, not to mention them, it is Yin Zhiping himself. Before this, he would never have thought that he would accept Shi Songzhi's granddaughter as a disciple when he went to Shi Songzhi's mansion for a banquet. The wonder of the world is here. Sometimes. You never know what will happen in the next moment, and what changes it will bring to your life.
Although everyone was surprised and strange in their hearts, they didn't ask much in front of Shi Bingyun. And except for Li Zhichang, all of those present are Yin Zhiping's juniors, but they are not qualified to question him about anything.
It was Li Zhichang who reacted first, and took the lead in congratulating Yin Zhi with a parallel salute: "Then the junior brother wishes the senior brother another good apprentice." ”
The rest of the people also reacted and congratulated Yin Zhi in parallel.
After Yin Zhiping received the salute, he pointed at Li Zhichang and said to Shi Bingyun: "Yun'er, this is your Uncle Li Zhichang." ”
When Shi Bingyun heard this, he bowed to Li Zhichang and said, "Bingyun has seen Uncle Li. ”
Li Zhichang bowed his head, stretched out his hand and said, "Senior nephew doesn't have to be polite. ”
Yin Zhiping pointed to Yang Guo and introduced: "This is your senior brother Yang Guo." ”
Shi Bingyun saluted Yang Guo again: "Bingyun has seen Senior Brother Yang. ”
Yang Guo replied: "Senior sister is polite. ”
The rest of the Quanzhen disciples were not Yin Zhiping's direct disciples, and he didn't bother to introduce them one by one, so he said to everyone: "Okay, I have something to say to your Uncle Li, you all go out." He also instructed Yang Guodao: "Come on, you lead your junior sister to meet other senior brothers." ”
"Yes. Yang Guo agreed, and then bowed and retreated with everyone, and Shi Bingyun also went out with him.
Li Zhichang watched everyone walk out of the hall and into the courtyard, glanced at Shi Bingyun's figure, and asked Yin Zhiping, "Senior brother, why did you accept such a disciple?"
Yin Zhiping didn't plan to tell Li Zhichang in detail the details of the banquet in Shifu, so he only pretended to sigh sideways, and pretended to be helpless: "This, it's difficult to be gracious!"
As soon as he said this, Li Zhichang nodded, and he also expressed his understanding. Thinking that it was Shi Songzhi who asked Yin Zhiping to accept his granddaughter as an apprentice, Yin Zhiping didn't want to offend the prime minister of the dynasty, so he reluctantly agreed and accepted this female disciple.
But then he frowned slightly, and still said strangely in some puzzlement: "Isn't there a man among the grandchildren of Shi Xianggong, he thinks that his family will worship under your brother, how can he choose such a young lady?"
Yin Zhiping shook his head lightly and smiled, and said, "Senior brother, you want to go wrong, it's not that Shi Xianggong wants someone to worship under my door, but this Miss Shi herself wants to worship under my door, so Shi Xianggong opened this mouth to me." Senior brother, don't underestimate my female disciple, although she seems to be a weak official lady, but in fact, she has been learning martial arts since she was a child, and she has a foundation of six or seven years. ”
"Oh!" Li Zhichang nodded, and didn't ask anything more. Changed the topic and talked to Yin Zhiping about something else.
The two of them talked in the hall for about half an hour, and Yin Zhiping saw that Yang Guo outside had also introduced the remaining Quanzhen disciples to Shi Bingyun. After those Quanzhen disciples greeted each other around Shi Bingyun and said a few words, most of them bowed and said goodbye, and they all went back to their rooms. Or study the scriptures, or sit down, or meditate. This is also the homework they have to do every day, although they came to a prosperous place like Lin'an, but with Li Zhichang's constraints, it is basically business as usual. That is to say, Yang Guo, a lay disciple, does not have to study the scriptures and Taoism, and he is a person who can't sit still, so he will want to go to the bustling market outside every day.
Yin Zhiping came over today, mainly to recognize the road, and also brought Shi Bingyun over to meet Li Zhichang and others, and there was nothing important for the rest.
Bai Yuchan has not yet brought people from Wuyi, and the sacrament of Yin Zhiping is also going to be tomorrow, and the current missionary work cannot be started immediately. They have no clue for the time being, so they can only wait for Bai Yuchan to come over first, and then discuss specific matters. Therefore, he and Li Zhichang didn't have much to talk about at this time. mainly talked about the meeting with the Holy House tomorrow morning, and then chatted about something else, Yin Zhiping got up to say goodbye and wanted to go back to the post house.
Li Zhichang didn't keep him much, and took Yang Guo, Guo Fu, and a few Quanzhen disciples in the courtyard who had not returned to the room, and sent Yin Zhiping and Shi Bingyun out of the inn together, and then watched them leave in a carriage.
After getting into the carriage, Shi Bingyun asked the coachman to send Yin Zhiping back to the post house first.
Shi Bingyun seemed very happy, and said to Yin Zhiping: "Master, senior brother is very good, and he speaks very funny. Miss Guo is also very beautiful, but I didn't expect them to be engaged. Moreover, they have all walked the rivers and lakes and visited many places. ”
The Shi family is a scholarly family and an official family, and she is very particular about the style of the door, and her Miss Sun is basically out of the door all the year round, and the second door is not out. There are very few friends of the same age, but there are so few, and they are also officials and ladies from other families who are from similar backgrounds to her, all of them are fair ladies who are knowledgeable and courteous, and they talk about poetry and literature together, and they have never been in contact with Yang Guo, Guo Fu and other children of the same age. Fang just contacted, talking to them was very casual, there was no need to chew the words, pretending to be gentle and polite, and couldn't help laughing, plus Yang Guo was really funny and very good at making people happy, so although it was only a short time, she already liked to get along with them very much.
Yin Zhiping listened to her tone of voice very yearning to walk the rivers and lakes, envied the experience of Yang Guo and Guo Fu, smiled, and said: "As long as you can convince your grandfather, it is not difficult to walk the rivers and lakes." ”
Shi Bingyun frowned and sighed: "I'm afraid my grandfather won't agree to this." After a pause, he said: "But I can learn martial arts with Master and you in the future, and I can often be with my senior brothers and them, and listen to them talk about walking the rivers and lakes, which is also very good." ”
For this, Yin Zhiping couldn't help either, so he sighed lightly and didn't say anything more.
Shi Bingyun suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked, "By the way, Master, I don't know how long you will stay in Lin'an? If you leave Lin'an, how can I learn martial arts from you?"
Yin Zhiping said: "Don't worry about this, if there is no accident, I should stay in Lin'an for a long time." This time, in addition to being summoned by the official family to meet the saints, I will also stay to preside over the mission of the Quanzhen Church in the south. After a pause, he said, "The specific matters of you learning martial arts with me, after tomorrow, we will talk about it in detail." I'm going to enter the palace tomorrow, but I don't know what the outcome will be?"
Shi Bingyun said: "Master, you killed the commander of the Mongols, I heard that it is still one of their princes, and the official family will naturally reward you!"
Yin Zhiping smiled: "Borrow your auspicious words!" (to be continued......)
