188 Meeting(1/2)

On November 16th, the weather is beautiful, and snowflakes are flying, only snow is snowing and raining. The beautiful snowflakes seem to cover up the earth, and there is a vast white area between the sky and the earth.

It is definitely a pleasing thing to enjoy the flying snowflakes in the house, and to make a good tea or warm a pot of good wine.

But running outside on snowy days is definitely a chore.

The snow fell on the ground and was piled up thickly. If it was not stepped on, it would be slid and slippery when it was stepped on by one foot, especially when the snow was stained with mud, it would appear dirty and slippery. It could be hooked with the mud. If it accidentally fell to the ground, it would definitely fall miserably.

In this kind of life, it is better to stay at home for winter without the pleasure of enjoying the snow. If a good woman gets out of the sheets, it will be a joy in life.

This day is exceptional because there is a Tanzhe Poetry Festival.

On the day of the poetry meeting, famous talents in the capital gather here. It can be said to be an annual literary event, and this literary event has gradually evolved into a festival for the whole nation to celebrate.

Scholars can read new masterpieces as soon as possible when they come here, and they may make friends with similar interests. When girls come here, they may find their own prince charming in the vast crowd. Besides, there are many noble children here, and if they cannot find a prince charming, they may be able to get a rich son-in-law.

The common people can join in the fun and burn incense, and it’s good to see handsome men and beautiful women. On this day, there were many vendors selling them near Tantuo Temple. They also saw the business opportunities brought by this grand event and made another profit before the New Year.

At that time, there will be many people selling knives, pots, horses, jugglings, medicines, clothes, and various snacks, as lively as a temple fair.

In fact, Tanzhe Temple has been allocated funds for construction and construction over the years. The scenery is very good, and it is also a great thing to enjoy the scenery.

There was not much entertainment in ancient times. Most people's lives were a bit monotonous. Anyway, they couldn't work in the middle of winter, so they just wanted to have fun.

So, on November 16th, people came and went from the capital to Tanzhe Temple, and everyone rushed to watch the fun.

Tanzhe Temple and the government attach great importance to this grand event.

Before dawn, monks from Tanshi Temple came out of the mountain gate one after another, holding hoes and shovels in their hands to clear the snow on the road so as not to fall and get injured by believers and tourists coming here. Due to the high engineering level, a large number of believers spontaneously help clean up every year.

Building bridges and roads has always been a good deed of accumulating virtue.

The government also attaches great importance to this matter. Not only are there spies from the Jinyiwei mixed in the crowd to prevent emergencies, but the Five City Military Command will also mobilize a large number of personnel to maintain public order along the way.

To prevent anyone from getting drunk and causing trouble, the government even hired a team of doctors to stand by outside the temple.

Many invited talented men were so excited that they couldn't sleep all night, tossing and turning, and always wondering how to make a big splash.

Yu Jin's sleep is not good either.

It’s not because I can’t sleep because I’m excited, but because I wake up early in the morning.

"Young Master"

"Young Master, Young Master. Wake up."

Yu Jin was having a beautiful dream, dreaming that he was lying on a mountain of gold. He kept counting ingots after ingots of silver, and it seemed that he could not count them. When he was so happy, he seemed to hear someone calling him, and then someone gently patted his shoulder.

When I opened my eyes wide, it was Xiao Mu, the little girl.

Big eyes, small nose, cherry mouth, as soon as you speak, your white and neat pearl teeth are revealed, and coupled with that melon-shaped face. What a cute beauty.

"Ah, Xiao Mu, what time is it now?" Yu Jin asked while yawning.

Xiao Mu said softly: "Young Master, Chen Shi will be in one quarter of an hour."

What? Chen Shi? Is there a quarter of an hour left?

Yu Jin almost collapsed. Chen time was 7:00 to 9:00, and it was still a quarter of an hour before Chen time arrived. In ancient times, one quarter of an hour was 15 minutes, which means that it is about 6:45 in the morning now.

Oh my God, I don’t have to go to Prince Yu’s mansion today, so I don’t have to accompany Prince Yu, a "super grade-repellent student". Isn’t Xiao Mu stupid?

It’s not that I don’t know that I like to sleep in the most.

Yu Jin reached out and pinched the cute little face, deliberately said with a shady face, "I woke up the young master so early and punish you."

Xiao Mu had already figured out his young master's temper and said that punishment was a joke and he had always been very nice to his subordinates.

This is teasing myself.

"Young Master" Xiao Mu stuck out his tongue and said, "It's not my business, it's someone who's looking for you."

"Look for me?" Yu Jin was stunned for a moment, and soon said with a puzzled look on his face: "Who is looking for me in this early morning?"

Even if you visit others, you won’t choose to come to your door at this time.

"The two young masters in the Duke of Wei's mansion, they slapped the door early in the morning. Sister Qing'er asked them to wait in the living room, and then asked the maid to wake up the young master."

No way, what are the two goods from Xu Bangrui and Xu Bangning, the Duke of Wei?

I came here early in the morning, aren’t I sick?

The two are genuine families, one of which is sure to be the next Duke of Wei. It can be said that he has a very high status. He recently cooperated with them to build a fireplace in the capital and do business in Nanjing. With a profit-making relationship, his friendship is getting better and better.

Yu Jin treated this guy like a friend, but the servants in the mansion were not good.

When I saw these two people, I felt uncomfortable and at a loss. Besides, the visitors were all guests, so I woke myself up.

It's so hard, didn't you agree to go?

When I came to the door early in the morning, I dragged myself out of my dream. This is not a debt, but a death.

The servants couldn't deal with these two guys, and Yu Jin was also afraid of them. When these guys came to their homes, they wanted whatever they wanted. If they hadn't had some quality and were not short of money, they would leave money if they took things, which was no different from the Japanese who entered the village in later generations.

Recalling the scene when Xu Bangrui and Xu Bangning saw good things, their eyes would be green, Yu Jin jumped up and said loudly: "Hurry up, help me change my clothes so that things will not be kept in the dark if they are moved."

Both brothers are veterans.

When Xiao Mu and Xiao Man heard this, they immediately helped Yu Jin change his clothes with all their might.

They also knew that the two young masters of the Xu family were difficult to deal with, so Yu Jin was the only one in the family who could deal with them.

Yu Jin quickly put on the set of straight clothes that Qing'er ordered for himself, wrapped a headscarf, put on white boots, and then ran to the living room without stopping.

"Brother. Look, what is this round one? Is it crystal? It seems that the best crystal is not so clear, right?" Xu Bangning said in surprise, holding a glass marble.

This is the first time both of them have seen something made of this material.

"I don't know, keep it, it's probably very valuable." Xu Bangrui said with a positive look.

"oh"

Xu Bangrui suddenly said, "Brother Bang. Listen, why does the wind chimes have a faint sound of seventh-level music when the wind blows?"

"It must be a good thing. I will take it away in a while and leave him fifty taels, no, one hundred taels. Anyway, I got another thousand taels of silver the day before yesterday." Xu Bangning said with a bold look on his face.

Yu Jin's head was full of black lines. It turned out that the duo regarded his home as a shop and took whatever he liked. Before he could make a statement, they set the price.

No wonder these two maids called themselves up so anxiously.

In the future, you have to promote a slogan to the servants at home: wind, fire and second-hand goods.

It's unscientific. The two guys were actually the young masters of the Duke's Mansion. They should have fought each other but were extremely united. They were such a low-key person, but someone used a provocative method to invite the two guys here by force. Tanzhe Temple was obviously a quiet place in Buddhism, and not only agreed to hold such a lively event, but also agreed to drink and eat meat in the temple.

Now that I think about it, the rules are set for people, and they can also be changed for people.

It depends on whether you have the ability.

Princess Miaoyan, the daughter of Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty, felt that her father had killed too much. In order to atone for her father's sins, she went to Tanzhe Temple to become a monk. She knelt in the Guanyin Hall every day and recited sutras, "Repent to Guanyin". Over time, she grinded two deep feet into a piece of paving brick in the hall, and finally lived in the temple.

The Zen Room of the Young Master Yao Guangxiao, who lived in the black prime minister, and Princess Miaoyan, "worship bricks" have been preserved in later generations. They have become extremely precious historical relics in Tanzhe.

Women can practice in the temple, breaking the custom that women cannot stay in the temple. I believe that a party is held in it and taking the opportunity to expand their influence and popularity is not unacceptable.

It is said that if you are poor, you think about change. If you change, you will be proficient. Yu Jin deeply admires the wisdom of the presidency of Tanzhe Temple.

"Cough cough" Yu Jin withdrew his thoughts and deliberately coughed twice, which attracted the attention of the brothers Xu Bangrui and Xu Bangning. Then he smiled and said, "Two brothers Xu, I'm here to the humble house early in the morning. I wonder if there is any advice?"

Xu Bangning reluctantly let go of the strange wind chimes, turned around, and said with a smile: "Brother Yu, why did you get up so early? The weather is cold and the bed is warm."

"That's it," Xu Bangrui echoed: "We have known each other for so long, and we are all our own people. We don't have to come here to entertain us specifically, we can do it ourselves."

Yes, you are self-confidence, and you are so self-confidence that you can take whatever you like.

I'm afraid it's a little later, I guess these two guys have to be loaded in a carriage.

Yu Jin smiled and said, "You are a distinguished guest who is hard to invite even if you invite them. Why do you neglect the guests? It will make a joke if you spread it. By the way, Brother Xu, I wonder if you have any instructions to come early in the morning?"

"I can't tell you the order. Since we brothers have written a ticket to get you to the poetry meeting, in case of precautions, I will come here to wait for you today. The three of us will set off together." Xu Bangning said with a serious look on his face.

"Brother Yu has never attended the Tanzhe Poetry Conference, so we brothers specially led the way for Brother Yu." Xu Bangrui added from the side.

lead the way?

This is too enthusiastic.

Yu Jin was speechless. The second brothers of the Xu family were too concerned about him. I don’t know who had such a big face or what kind of benefits the Xu family gave them, which made them so active.

They all blocked the doorstep.

Yu Jin also tapped the two brothers several times. Although they didn't have high IQ, they were extremely secretive and refused to say anything.

But even without saying that, Yu Jin also vaguely guessed who made it.

But, is it really that important to get yourself to that poetry fair?

"Young master, breakfast is ready." Qing'er stepped forward to report.

Yu Jin nodded and turned around and asked, "Brother Xu, have you eaten some breakfast?"

"Okay!" Surprisingly, the two of them responded in unison.

Didn't treat myself as an outsider.

Qing'er made good breakfast, and even the Xu brothers praised it repeatedly. The three old men swept away all the pastries on the dining table.
