Before he knew it, he had already spent the entire afternoon in Fakong's vegetable garden. Seeing that it was getting late, Yang Ning said goodbye to Fakong and returned to Po Tao Temple. Fakong originally wanted to stay with him for dinner, but Yang Ning declined.

I have to go back and serve Zhang Cheng and Xiao Lezi for dinner!

Fa Kongzhi sent Yang Ning out of the circular arch, and kept telling Yang Ning to come and play with him often! It seemed that the old monk and Yang Ning got along very happily.

Yang Ning also had a very good impression of Fakong. The old monk was fat, tall and kind. Although he had a respected position in Longfu Temple, he had no airs at all. His personality was completely like an "old naughty boy" and he also spoke humorously. It was really fun.

The ground is very.

Although they were very different in age and only got along for half a day, Yang Ning felt very close to the old monk.

"Brother Ning, you're back!" Zhang Cheng greeted him first, but Xiao Lezi remained silent and just nodded to Yang Ning, with a hint of warmth in his cold eyes.

"Are you hungry? Come and eat!"

Yang Ning laid out the food he bought at the temple market in the square in front of Longfu Temple. There were fish, meat, and vegetables. It can be said that no one in this era understands the importance of balanced human nutrition better than Yang Ning.

Although the food was good, Yang Ning had already thought about it. According to this way of eating, he would not have to worry about how many people would enter the palace for only seven taels of silver.

In today's era, the purchasing power of money is too strong. One tael of silver can buy a lot of things. It is not like the 21st century, where things are getting more and more expensive and money is becoming less and less valuable!

After more than ten days of recuperation and supplementation, Zhang Cheng and Xiao Lezi's injuries have improved a lot. Xiao Lezi's face, which was originally pale, has also become rosy. Yang Ning is very happy.

In the following days, in addition to taking good care of Zhang Cheng and Xiao Lezi, Yang Ning would go to Fakong's vegetable garden when he had nothing to do, play chess with Fakong, chat, and drink the old monk's Da Neigong tea.

The two of them were quite speculative when they were chatting, but they were at loggerheads when playing chess, because Fakong often played tricks and even secretly moved Yang Ning's chess pieces when Yang Ning was going to the toilet, or simply took a certain chess piece off the chessboard.

Go, every time Yang Ning argued with Fakong for a long time, but in the end he couldn't rely on him and had to compromise.

Seeing the old monk acting like a naughty boy despite his age, getting angry at one moment and smiling at the other, Yang Ning was often angry and funny at the same time.

As time went by, the two got along more and more harmoniously, and Yang Ning also discovered a secret about Fakong: this old monk actually drank wine and ate meat, and he was not afraid of meat and fish!

When he first invited Yang Ning to eat with him, Fakong still pretended to serve only vegetarian dishes. But after a few days, the old monk couldn't bear it anymore, and he no longer kept the secret of drinking and eating meat from Yang Ning.

Yang Ning's surprise was extraordinary. It was unimaginable that the junior abbot of the royal Longfu Temple was actually a "fair-weather monk"! It would be a big deal if the devout Buddhist men and women in the capital knew about this!

It’s so forthright and daring!

But when you think about it, it’s no wonder. Looking at the old monk’s body as fat as a mountain, how could he achieve such “achievement” just by being a vegetarian!

Looking at Fakong's embarrassed look, Yang Ning couldn't help but feel very funny. However, he also expressed his understanding to the old monk and felt that it was not a big deal. Who doesn't have a hobby? And to kill people's hobbies, then

What an unethical behavior!

Yang Ning is a modern person, so of course he doesn't think it's a big deal! He remembers watching the movie "Shaolin Temple" in his previous life. After the eighteen-stick monk rescued the King of Qin, Li Shimin exempted the monks from the abstention from eating and drinking.

I don’t know how it happened, but later generations of monks gave up the practice again!

Fakong couldn't help but feel overjoyed after hearing Yang Ning's remarks. The old monk had now found a "close friend." From then on, when the old and the young met, they would eat and drink happily.

The concentration of alcohol in ancient times was inherently low. Although Yang Ning rarely drank alcohol before, he had developed a good drinking capacity after spending time with the old monk.

In the afternoon of this day, Yang Ning went to the temple market and bought Zhang Cheng and Xiao Lezi's meals for the evening. He also bought five kilograms of cooked beef, a roast leg of lamb, and two jars of good wine. He carried them to France with both hands.

Empty vegetable garden.

At this time, Fakong was lying on a large bamboo chair under the willow tree, with his big belly exposed, shaking a broken fan in his right hand, and holding a piece of paper in his left hand, frowning, and mumbling something.

"Old monk, look what I brought here?" Yang Ning shook the meat and wine in his hands and said.

As before, Fakong's eyes would have lit up when he saw the meat and wine, but this time it was abnormal. The old monk just waved to Yang Ning and motioned for him to come and sit down, but his eyes never left the piece of paper in his hand.

"Hey! What secrets are you researching? Are you so focused?"

Yang Ning placed the wine and meat in his hand on the stone table and curiously moved forward to look at the paper in Kong's hand.

"Go, go, you don't understand this, just go and eat and drink!" The old monk frowned and waved his fan impatiently at Yang Ning.

But Yang Ning had already seen the content on the paper clearly. It was very simple, just one sentence: The monk carries water, his arms are covered with sweat!

This is a couplet! And it is a wonderful "homophonic couplet", in which "all" are the same as "Jinshi", and "Hanlin" is the same as "Hanlin".

Yang Ning immediately made a decision in his mind. When he was studying in his previous life, he was very obsessed with writing poems and had read many books on this subject. However, as he grew older, he gradually felt that there was something wrong with writing poems and composing poems.

It's flashy and of no practical use, and the interest is reduced a lot!

The imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty, also known as "Chunwei", was a Jinshi after passing the examination. The imperial court would then select the essays. Those with outstanding results would study in the General Hall of the Hanlin Academy for three years. After graduation, they would serve as "editors" and "reviewers" in the Hanlin Academy.

"Equal position, this is also called "Hanlin"!

This right person must have seen the situation of Dharma carrying water, and cleverly integrated the two titles of "Jinshi" and "Hanlin" into this first couplet.

Looking at Fang Kong's serious look of frowning and contemplating, he must have been troubled by the couple, so much so that he had no intention of eating the meat and wine. Unexpectedly, the old monk also liked the tune of reciting poems and composing poems!

"Old monk, how do you know that I can't understand? Isn't it just a 'homophone couplet'? It's still very simple, so why is it so difficult!" Yang Ning decided to help him.

"Hey, you kid still knows the right pair?" Fakong raised his head in surprise.

However, Yang Ning ignored Fa Kong and opened the oil paper bag, patted open the mud seal on the wine jar, poured himself some wine, and was ready to start eating and drinking!

Fa Kong rolled his eyes, but he still didn't understand that Yang Ning was doing this deliberately because of his attitude just now. He quickly changed his smile, handed the paper in his hand to Yang Ning and said: "Oh, boy, I was wrong just now, come on.

Come on, help the monk see how to pair this pair!"

Yang Ning still responded indifferently, pushed away Fakong's hand holding the paper, picked up the wine bowl and took a sip, and then said leisurely: "Didn't you say I don't understand?"

"Hey, I made a mistake. Who are you, Mr. Yang? This couplet can stump no one but you! Quickly help the old monk think about it. I must fight against this couple, or else I will lose to someone else.

It's over!" Fakong said anxiously.

The opportunity has come!

Yang Ning's thoughts changed and she said: "Then what's the benefit if I match up?"

"Whatever you want, just say it. As long as I can do it, I won't have a problem with it!" Fakong said with a pat on his chest. It seemed that he really wanted to match this couplet.

"I want——, your ice jade chess set!" Yang Ning stared at Fakong and said.

Fakong's expression suddenly became solemn, the light in his eyes skyrocketed, directed towards Yang Ning, and shouted in a low voice: "What do you want me to do with this chess piece?"

Fakong's voice was like thunder, and Yang Ning felt as if his mind had been hit hard by a sledgehammer. His ears were buzzing, his vision went dark, his mouth opened, and with a "wow" sound, a mouthful of blood was spat on him.

The wine in the half-drunk bowl immediately turned into "blood wine"!
Chapter completed!
