The crowd of onlookers could not outnumber the strong soldiers. Soon, Lin Xuan and others saw the monk surrounded in the center of the crowd.
When he saw the monk's appearance, Lin Xuan finally understood why there were so many people watching.
I saw that the monk was about twenty years old, with long thin skin and tender flesh, piercing eyes, and very handsome cheeks like a knife. If he were left to future generations, someone would definitely call him a pretty boy.
Lin Xuan also had to admit that this monk was indeed very handsome, and only celebrities in later generations who had gone through makeup and beautification could compare with him.
"Everyone, little monk Bianji, this is a scripture copied by the young monk himself. If you need it, just give the young monk some hard-earned money."
I don’t know if it was his first time selling sutras, or if he felt that selling sutras was unworthy of the Buddha. The monk’s face looked a little conceited.
However, when Lin Xuan heard the name Bianji, he was stunned.
Bianji was Xuanzang's apprentice. When Xuanzang returned from his journey to the West, he orally described the process of studying scriptures, which was compiled by Bianji into the book "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty".
"Journey to the West", one of the four famous classics, was written based on "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" with artistic processing.
But what made Bianji famous was not because he wrote "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty", but because of her affair with Princess Gaoyang.
Lin Xuan glanced at Princess Gao Yang and saw her looking at Bianji with bright eyes.
Lin Xuan didn't know whether this was the inertia of history or a fateful encounter.
He originally thought that Princess Gaoyang's fate would be changed by marrying Changsun Chong, and maybe there would be no more trouble.
Unexpectedly, they still met.
And looking at Princess Gaoyang's appearance, it was obvious that she was already motivated by the debate.
Many people may think that Bianji's affair with Princess Gaoyang was forced in history, but Lin Xuan doesn't think so.
Ordinary people may be afraid of Princess Gaoyang's identity, but if you think about a monk, what can Princess Gaoyang do to him?
You know, even the government is very cautious when it comes to religion.
In "Water Margin", after Lu Zhishen killed someone, he got an ultimatum and became a monk to avoid being wanted by the government.
As long as Bianji doesn't want to, is it possible that Princess Gaoyang can still go to the temple to kidnap people?
Bianji was already feeling embarrassed. Seeing so many people watching but no one wanted to buy his scriptures made him even more ashamed.
It's not that no one here believes in Buddhism, but that these people are all short of money. If they want scriptures, they can donate some incense money to the temple and ask for the autographs of eminent monks. Who would buy a scripture copied by a monk who has never heard of it?
Lin Xuan was a little funny when he saw this scene. It will be left to future generations. With Bianji's appearance, it is estimated that many aunts will stand up and say, I want the little monk's scriptures, but I don't understand Buddhism. Can you go back with me?
Let’s discuss it.
However, this was impossible in ancient times. Even if the trend was open, no woman would dare to do it in public.
"I want this book."
At this moment, a woman's voice sounded.
Lin Xuan knew it was Princess Gaoyang as soon as he heard the voice.
He can't stop such a thing. He just hopes that Princess Gaoyang can control the devil in her heart. Changsun Wuji is not Fang Xuanling. Once Princess Gaoyang dares to cuckold Changsun Chong and is discovered, it is very likely that Changsun Wuji will use his methods.
Let Princess Gaoyang die without illness.
To the outside world, it is enough to declare that he died of illness. Even if Li Shimin knew that there was a problem, he would not be able to pursue it because it would also be a scandal to the royal family.
Bianji gratefully bowed to Princess Gaoyang and said, "Thank you madam, this set of scriptures only costs a certain amount of money."
Princess Gaoyang nodded, asked someone to pay the money, and said: "I like Buddhism very much. I wonder if I can trouble the master to copy more. I just need to send it to Princess Gaoyang's house. The price is easy to talk about."
Bian Ji was overjoyed when he heard this, clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you so much, princess."
"See Princess."
Only then did the onlookers realize that the person in front of them was a princess, and they quickly saluted.
As for whether it was an imposter, they never considered it. If they dared to pretend to be a princess in Chang'an, they were undoubtedly seeking death.
Princess Gao Yang waved her hand and said, "No gift."
After everyone stood up, they bowed their hands to Princess Gaoyang and left quickly. Gu Yu
Not long after, only Lin Xuan and the others were left.
"I'll take my leave now, little monk." Bianji said awkwardly.
Princess Gao Yang was a little reluctant to give up, but she had no reason to stop the debate and could only nodded.
Bianji clasped his hands together, bowed, took the money and left.
Lin Xuan secretly took a look at Changsun Chong's face and found that there was nothing abnormal, so he thought it was funny. Before long, there will be a grassland above your head.
Because their identity was exposed and it was no longer possible to continue shopping, Lin Xuan and Changsun Chong immediately separated.
Sitting on the carriage, Lin Xuan was still thinking about Bianji and Princess Gaoyang.
"Husband, are you worried about something?" Li Lizhi asked strangely when she saw that Lin Xuan was a little distracted.
"Aren't you just thinking about something, how can you have fun while shopping?"
Lin Xuan hesitated for a moment, but still did not tell the story about Bianji and Princess Gaoyang.
No one would believe this kind of thing if I told it. Even if I didn’t look at the person involved, Chang Sun Chong, I wouldn’t think that Princess Gao Yang was interested in Bian Ji.
"I'm very happy. It's just that Gao Yang's identity was exposed, otherwise we could have walked around for a while." Li Lizhi said with some pity.
"What's the matter? If you like, you can go out and stroll by yourself. If I'm at home, I can come with you." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
Li Lizhi smiled sweetly: "Thank you husband, but tomorrow is the day when you take concubines, so don't drink too much at Su Guogong's house and delay the bridal chamber."
Lin Xuan touched his nose, somewhat embarrassed.
…
The next day, Lin Xuan estimated that Cheng Yaojin had already gone to court, so he first sent someone to deliver the invitation, and then rode off to Chang'an.
Since Cheng Yaojin invited him formally, he should also do so formally.
Send someone to deliver the invitation first, so that Cheng Yaojin can make preparations.
This was the problem in ancient times. The house was too big and you couldn't let the guests wait at the door when they arrived.
Therefore, when guests go out, they will send greeting cards in advance to inform the host that I have departed.
When Lin Xuan arrived at Su Guogong's mansion, Cheng Chuliang was already waiting at the door.
"It's an honor to have a distinguished guest at our door!" Cheng Chuliang said with a smile.
"You kid, you've become more polite now that you're married."
The relationship between Lin Xuan and Cheng Chuliang was already good, and now they are considered brothers-in-law.
"You still have to look the way you should." Cheng Chuliang said with a laugh.
The Cheng family opened the middle door wide and welcomed Lin Xuan in.
Arriving at the Cheng family hall, Cheng Yaojin and Cui were waiting for him in the hall.
"Meet Uncle Cheng and Aunt Cheng." Lin Xuan saluted.
"Your son is now the prince-in-law, and I can't treat you as a gift." Cheng Yaojin said with a smile.
Lin Xuan naturally understood that this was Cheng Yaojin's joke, and was not angry. He smiled and said, "Uncle Cheng is my elder at all times."
If it weren't for Cheng Yaojin's help, he might have been forced by the Wang family to leave Chang'an.
He will never forget this kindness.
Regardless of whether Cheng Yaojin had any other purpose in helping him, kindness is kindness.
