Chapter 609 Zhaitang is embarrassed, Yuanzai is abnormal
The clear sound is in my ears, and my beautiful face is in front of me.
Yang Zhaoxi had no choice but to bite the bullet and first greeted the three Taoist seniors, Yuan Yizi Tong Chunxi, Feng Yizi Xu Meixiang, and Xueyizi Ding Mo Niang, then turned to the pretty and angry Yuexi Zi Tan Qing, cupped her hands and said: "Well, junior sister Qin!
"
When all the female crowns saw this, they all laughed and immediately followed the temple leader Yuan Yizi and others, meandering out of the temple.
Tan Qingying pursed her lips and turned her head away, still looking angrily: "What's so good about Qing'er? How could she be as good as your 'confidante'... Why didn't you bring her to the temple?"
Could it be that during the tryst last night, you had already made an appointment with the female snitch? Did you avoid her on purpose? "
Yang Chaoxi was immediately questioned by this barrage of questions, and was so shocked that he couldn't even speak. He immediately turned his attention to Fang Qidou and Pugu Xingde, hoping that the two of them would help him out by saying a few words to save him from embarrassment here.
Unexpectedly, after Fang Qidou saw off the women's crowns in the Linji audience one by one, he immediately felt as if he had been granted amnesty and refused to stay here for a moment longer. Seeing Tan Qing's unkind expression, and thinking of the relationship between her and the person at home, he immediately felt very ungrateful.
He grabbed Pu Gu Xingde and left, leaving Yang Chaoxi on the spot.
On the other hand, Pugu acted virtuously, and before leaving, he repaid kindness with kindness. He smiled and cupped his hands to Yang Chaoxi, encouraging him to seek blessings for himself. Then he gave Tan Qing a fist to express his gratitude for saving her in the past.
Everyone quickly dispersed, and Yang Chaoxi couldn't help but laugh and cry: "Where did Junior Sister Qin hear the rumors? It's so unfair! The incident of catching the thief last night was originally misunderstood by the monks, and then spread by meddlesome people. Senior Brother, it's true.
Even if you jump into Luoshui, you won't be able to clean yourself..."
After saying that, he saw that although Tan Qing was still alive, he didn't turn around and left. I guess he believed it. Then he dared to get closer to her, tugged on the sleeves of her robe and said,
"Senior brother, I got up early in the morning and my stomach is growling. Why don't you come with me to have some vegetarian food? Then, senior brother, I can tell you what happened last night in detail. I'm sure there won't be a single word to justify it!"
Seeing his sworn look, Qin Qing immediately turned red, pulled back his cuffs, and whispered: "If you eat, you will eat, if you talk, you will talk, no matter what you do... Humph! It's really easy for you to talk nonsense."
If it's true, it's false, and Qing'er will know the difference!"
Yang Chaoxi felt slightly relieved, and immediately made a gesture of asking for help, letting Tan Qing go first. He turned his body slightly to one side and stood still, obviously showing enough respect.
Tan Qing's lips curled up slightly, she smoothed her hair behind her ears, then held her head high and walked into the dining hall again.
Yang Zhaoxi followed closely behind and entered the dining hall together.
The hall is spacious and lined with wooden pillars.
At a quick glance, there are more than ten rooms. As far as the eye can see, there are tables, tables, and stools lined up everywhere. Although the carpentry is simple, they are very thick and strong, and they can be regarded as the orderly inheritance of the temple.
The monks only occupied a corner of the space, and disciples of various sects and sects were sitting around most of the tables. The vegetarian food placed on the wooden tables was simple, nothing more than pancakes, steamed corn, and boiled beans with salt.
Boiled radish and other items, and then served with cornel, polygonum and other mixed sauces, the taste will not be bland.
At a glance, Yang Chaoxi saw Fang Qidou, Xiao Zhan, and Pugu Xingde, who were gathered around the table, eating happily and chatting and laughing. However, the three of them pretended to be deaf and dumb and ignored him.
When Tan Qing saw this, he snorted coldly and immediately picked up Yang Chaoxi and dragged him to the fasting place. Monks in the Sheng Dynasty did not eat meat or drink wine. Therefore, among the several major items in the fasting place, only
Several steaming wooden basins contained seven or eight kinds of vegetarian food. In addition to the few items you saw when you entered, there were also steamed cakes, soup cakes, rice, wontons, millet, black rice, and a large wok of boiled rice.
Good tea. Next to the tea, there is a pottery cauldron with cooked rice inside, giving off a faint sweet fragrance.
Yang Zhaoxi's index finger twitched at the sight. He immediately took out a few coarse porcelain bowls and a wooden tray, and asked to help himself. Tan Qing smiled to the side and said, "Why is it that Xiangshan Temple is so hospitable! Even a morning meal is not enough." With such a rich and complete meal, I don’t know what kind of food Junior Sister Qin likes to eat... Hey! Why are you beating someone?!"
Tan Qing looked at him with a monster expression on his face, but he hesitated to speak. But the rice monk, who had just struck the back of his hand with a pair of long chopsticks, was glaring angrily and yelled: "This Tan Yue! Didn't you donate half of it?" Are you going to take all the wealth and incense for free?!"
Tan Qing burst into laughter. Yang Chaoxi's face turned red, and he couldn't help but mumbled: "Your temple has never made it clear, so how do I know that it costs money to eat and live here... This rice cake is cooked very well." , pick up six to taste first! There are also two portions each of rice, wontons, radish, and tea... How much silver is up to you!"
The rice monk's anger subsided a little, and he said angrily, "A piece of rice is fifty cents, a bowl of rice is twenty cents, and a radish... a total of another two hundred and thirty cents."
Yang Zhaoxi was dumbfounded. He never expected that a breakfast meal would cost more than one tael of silver, and it was just some boring vegetarian food. He immediately asked in confusion: "It's just a few vegetarian meals, how dare you charge such a price? Just Are you afraid that the wine shops and restaurants in Luoyang City are not as expensive as here? Is this... what is the difference between this and a robbery in the open? "
The rice monk glared again and said to his face: "If Tan Yue finds it too expensive, you can go back to Luoyang City to eat it!"
Yang Chaoxi was about to have an attack, but Qin Qing hurriedly pushed him away. With a smile, he took out a small golden bean, threw it into the hands of the rice monk and said, "Don't be upset, Zen Master! My senior brother was attacked by a thief last night. At this time, the chopsticks The bowl is long but the bowl is short, and it is understandable that the money is tight. The vegetarian food is almost ready, and after I have eaten it, I have to rush to the university campus!"
The rice monk then changed his smile, snatched the tray and porcelain bowl from Yang Chaoxi's hand, filled it with vegetarian food, grabbed a few more sesame cakes, handed them to Qin Qing and said: "What Tan Yue gave is more than enough, it's hard to find change. I will give you a few more biscuits so that you can use them as solid food if you are hungry during the day."
Yang Zhaoxi saw an upcoming dispute and was instantly eliminated by Tan Qing. The anger in his heart was mostly eliminated. He could only scratch his head, hold the tray, find a table with her and sit down, sorting out what happened last night. Said everywhere.
Tan Qing held the rice cake in his hand and chewed it carefully. The peeled reed leaves trembled in front of his chest, which made him feel quiet and elegant. The men passing by him couldn't help but take a few more glances when they saw it.
After Yang Chaoxi finished eating and finished speaking, Tan Qing took out the brocade handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped his hands clean. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said:
"So that's it! The people from Miaoshou Hall are really bold. Yesterday, when Fang Shibo and his gang were free, they saw a lot of thieves, including old, weak, women and children. Their eyes were full of thieves. They were either working alone or working together in small groups. He repeatedly took away the wallets of those whose wealth was exposed.
At nightfall yesterday, Wang Lun, the deputy lieutenant of the chainmail guard who was drinking without paying, was stolen by thieves, and not a single bit of gold or silver was left. That's why he had to put the "Huanshou Bo Dao" in Heshang. Shopkeeper Liu of the wine shop.
If these thieves only robbed the rich and gave to the poor, it would be fine. But Qing'er saw it with her own eyes yesterday. Those thieves even stole blind beggars! If Fang Shibo hadn't stopped him, Qing'er would have rushed up and struck out the thieves' hands with one sword. Cut it down!"
Yang Zhaoxi also said with emotion: "After what happened last night, the relationship between senior brother and Miaoshou Hall has been forged. It seems that in the future, you must be more cautious when acting in Luoyang City. Otherwise, someone will always touch your wallet. How can it be so?"
Don’t you want to be stumped by a penny?”
"Haha! If you are robbed someday and have no money to use, you can come to Qin Mansion to find me."
Tan Qingyu smiled sweetly. She suddenly thought of something, her cheeks turned red again, and she continued, "With Senior Brother Yang's martial arts skills, if he can serve as an aide for my father, his monthly salary must be quite a lot... and I can still see him from time to time.
Isn't your 'confidante' the best of both worlds?"
Yang Chaoxi felt a headache again. The girl was really not broad-minded. She made an inadvertent statement yesterday and has been resented by Junior Sister Qin ever since. There was really nothing she could do.
With no choice but to change his subject, he said: "Junior sister Qin, when we left yesterday, you were still at the Dongli Teahouse, but when did you return to the Linji audience among the sisters?"
Tan Qing also knew that the "staff" thing could only be treated as a joke. As a Zoroastrian priest and protector, Senior Brother Yang's status in the religion is not much worse than that of his father, so how could he condescend to Yu and come to Tan's house to do some work?
An errand like a slave? He immediately answered with a question:
"Senior Brother Yang, do you know why Yuan Zai did not come to the university field to watch the competition in person last night?"
Yang Chaoxi thought for a while and then said: "The reason given by Zen Master Lingzhen was 'I feel unwell', but as all the knights know, it was actually Yuan Zai who was greedy for life and afraid of death. He was worried that another 'shepherdess' would appear and assassinate him at night.
He hunkered down in the temple and said that he was not sick."
"Cherishing life as gold is just one of the reasons."
Tan Qing sighed softly, and suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Actually, during the martial arts competition last night, Yuan Zai was no longer in the temple. There was only an empty Zen room left, and seven or eight heroic military guards, bluffing in the temple...
…”
Yang Chaoxi was shocked, and immediately thought of a possibility, and asked Tan Qing in a low voice: "Did Yuan Zai already know about Wan'er's escape? So he rushed back to the city at night and searched everywhere for him? In addition,
Junior Sister Qin, how did you know that Yuan Zai had left the temple early?"
Tan Qing's beautiful eyes were burning, staring at Yang Chaoxi who was reacting urgently, feeling both relieved and sad. She knew that Senior Sister Cui still had a place in Senior Brother Yang's heart, but she didn't know how she was placed in Senior Brother Yang's heart.
Location.
After a brief absence of consciousness, Tan Qing gathered his thoughts and said again: "This matter was said by Fang Shibo himself. In addition to Ma Xiaoliu, he also has many good people who found out about this matter accidentally. I especially want me to tell you.
Master and the others, please take precautions in advance."
Yang Chaoxi frowned and suddenly raised his eyebrows: "If that's the case, if Yuan Zai doesn't come for today's competition, I'm afraid things will change! Let's go to the big campus first to check the situation. If Yuan Zai still complains of illness, senior brother will definitely
Let’s go back to the city and have a look…”
After hearing this, Qin Qing became slightly nervous. He then stood up with his sword in hand and hurried out of the temple together with Yang Chaoxi.
