Chapter 124 The Second Concubine of Rain Temple (Part 2) (Revision)
The Main Hall may be the only completed building in this new temple, and the decoration inside is basically completed. However, this hall is not a place for entertaining guests, but for people to worship the Bodhisattva. Therefore, there are no chairs or benches in the west hall, only a few
A futon is spread on the floor.
Gao Pragmatic was naturally very progressive in his previous life, so he was an atheist. He had no respect for these things. He found the cleanest-looking futon and sat on it. If he hadn't considered that there were people opposite the statue, he would have
He even wanted to put a few futons together in a row and lie down for a while, but at this moment he could only sit down and rest.
He was somewhat curious about the identity of the two female relatives who had not shown up in the temple, but he could not say that he had any intention of peeping. Because there were many Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in Nancheng, he thought they were just two wealthy women who went out to worship.
It really doesn't matter to him. When the rain passes and the sky clears up, he will go out and he will never encounter it again in his life.
But what he didn't expect was that while he didn't care about the other party, the other party cared about him.
Gao Pangshi had just sat down here when the voice of the woman who had spoken before came from the statue in the Main Hall: "Well Xiaolian, you are the son of Henan Province. I...well, can I ask you for some news?"
Huh?
Gao Pragmatic was a little surprised, but he still responded: "It's okay to ask if Miss has something to do, but the student rarely goes out when he is in his hometown. The student may not know what the Miss wants to ask."
His tone was light, and even deliberately brought a sense of alienation. After all, the two parties did not know each other. If he was too enthusiastic, he might be misunderstood, which would greatly affect him. Gao Longwen and Gao Jieyuan's Shilin Qingyu. You must know that this era can be compared with
It was different in later generations. As a scholar, having sex with a prostitute might be regarded as an elegant thing, but molesting a good family would be a matter of death.
However, the other party didn't seem to mind his alienation and immediately asked, "Have you ever heard of Xiaolian and Gao's family in Xinzheng?"
Eh? Why are you asking about your visit to my house? Isn't it possible that the elder in the other party's family is still a "high party member"?
Gao pragmatically responded: "Miss, you are joking. Since the student is a member of the Henan Juren family, he naturally knows the Xinzheng Gao family."
That is, if the Henan scholars of the Long and Wan Er dynasties don’t even know about the Gao family in Xinzheng, they might as well stop reading.
The young lady's voice came again: "Do you know if anyone from Xinzheng's Gao family passed the examination? There is a man named Gao Pragmatic. Did he pass the examination?"
Okay, not just asking Xinzheng Gao, but also asking me directly? I don’t seem to know you... let alone knowing you, I haven’t even heard your voice!
Gao Pragmatic became a little interested and laughed: "Is Xinzheng Gao Pragmatic? He won the exam and is a bachelor of Henan Jieyuan."
"why are you laughing?"
"Ah! Zhongjie Yuan?"
This time it was better, two voices came out at once.
What’s even more interesting is that the previous voice sounded young, and the additional voice this time seemed to be even younger. With a high and pragmatic ear, it seems that the owner of this new voice is
I'm afraid it's not time yet.
Gao pragmatic smiled and said: "Why, is there anything wrong with understanding Yuan in Gao pragmatism?"
This sentence was obviously an answer to the younger-sounding voice, but the other person did not respond this time.
However, the voice that had been asking questions before asked again with some dissatisfaction: "I asked you, and you haven't answered yet? Why were you laughing just now? Also, since you are Henan Jieyuan, you are the leader of the Five Classics, a province Set an example, how can you call him by his first name? Could it be that you, a filial and honest person, failed the exam and are jealous?"
"Hey, this young lady, don't try to prove someone's innocence out of thin air. How can the students be jealous of him? No matter how good he is in the exam, the students will never be jealous at all."
"Really?" The voice sounded very suspicious: "What is your relationship with him? Are you of the same race or classmate?"
"Yes...well, I'm just very familiar with him." Gao Pingshi replied casually, and then immediately interrupted: "The two young ladies asked him alone without asking anyone else. Could it be that there is some connection with him in the family?"
The young lady smiled and said, "Yuan Yuan... of course there is. My two sisters are very familiar with him."
What?
You are so familiar with me! I have never even heard your voices. Are you familiar in my dreams? Besides, we have talked so much. If you are familiar with me, how can you still not recognize my voice?
Gao Pragmatic frowned, wondering whether he should expose this girl's nonsense.
The young lady waited for a while, then saw Gao Pragmatic and was speechless. She couldn't help but wonder: "Hey, Xiaolian, why don't you speak? Could it be that you are not familiar with him at all and you are afraid of being exposed by us?"
Gao Jingshi was speechless and said angrily: "The student is just thinking, Gao Jingshi didn't tell the students that he knew you two... uh, what are the two ladies' names?"
There seemed to be a whisper on the other side of the statue, and then the slightly older lady replied with a smile: "I shouldn't have told you at first, but since you are very familiar with Gao Pragmatic, you can give him some thin noodles. My sister... I don’t mind your surname being Yao."
The surname is Yao?
Gao pragmatic thought hard. Although I know many high-ranking officials and dignitaries, it seems that no one with the surname Yao meets the requirement of daring to employ eunuchs?
After a while, the lady asked with some dissatisfaction: "You are so filial and honest, you really don't know how to be polite. Why did you keep silent while talking?"
Gao Pingshi was interrupted by her, and he couldn't remember anymore, and he said angrily: "I'm not talking about whether students know how to be polite. Miss, your etiquette is not very good."
"Me?" The lady was quite surprised: "Why don't I understand etiquette?"
"You just scolded the students for calling Gao Jieyuan by his first name, but haven't you always called him by his first name? Is this the etiquette of a young lady?"
"Oh... you seem to have some truth to what you said." The young lady thought for a while and asked: "But he resigned last year. I can't call him Gao Guanzheng, and he doesn't seem to have expressed his name yet. Do I still want to call him Gao Guanzheng?" Is he Gao Xinzheng? That’s the name given to Mr. Gao. Even if I dare to call him, he probably won’t dare to respond, right?”
Gao pragmatic sighed and said: "Miss Yao, you two don't seem to be very well informed. The Henan examiner, Yu Gong, who is Gao pragmatic's tutor, has already given him a nickname called 'Qiuzhen'." '."
"A gift from Mr. Yu?" Ms. Yao was startled for a moment, and then she seemed to have discovered the handle Gao Pragmatic had, and said loudly: "Since you know his word "Qiuzhen", why do you still call him by his first name?
"Uh..." Gao Pingshi was speechless for a moment, and he simply didn't bother to make it up. He sighed and said, "Of course I can call him by his first name, because I just..."
Before Gao Qingshi could finish his sentence, he suddenly heard a servant of the Gao family at the door shout: "Who is it!"
Immediately afterwards, a somewhat familiar male voice came coldly: "If you don't want to scare your master, you'd better not draw your sword in front of me."
