Ning Gu

In midsummer, when it was hot, the sound of worms did not stop until noon.

People are dry and insects are noisy.

Since returning to the mansion yesterday, Na Sang Luo has not stepped into Xie Wuling's small courtyard, but Xie Wuling wants to leave the mansion, he still has to go to his place, after all he is the person sent by Yong Guogong to take care of Xie Wuling.

Xie Wuling thought he had gone this trip, looked at the old man, but couldn't say a happy word, rather than getting bored with each other, it's better not to see each other.

So he sat in front of the window in the house, waving his banana leaf fan, fanned it for a while, and then threw the banana leaf away in annoyance.

"Brother." The sudden call made Xie Wuling tremble in fright, causing the little novice to put his hands together and said, "Amitabha."

"Don't stop." Xie Wuling frowned, he was very anxious and angry, this chess piece is useless, where can he find another chess piece to rest it on?

Thinking about the people in the Duke's mansion, although Mrs. Liang is someone the Duke of Guo guards against, she may not turn her heart away. The other children and concubines in the mansion... I heard from the young man that most of them were taken care of by the Duke of Guo. Those who are tired of playing can still return to the Duke's pillow, only Nasang falls... After a long time of calculation, it is still useless.

Although before coming to Fufeng, Huixuan had had a long talk with him one night, arranged a big game in Fufeng, and placed a game of chess of the Wang family in the past ten years in front of him, all he wanted was him to push it, but how much did he do? I still want to make some efforts to leave a little trace of myself.

At least he can't just be a person who beats gongs and drums to start the show.

Then after this play is sung, who will write the play excerpt for the next one? Senior brother and Uncle Wang can help him write the play excerpt for one time, but they cannot help him write the play excerpt for the rest of his life.

"Oh, by the way, what are you going to say?" Xie Wuling who was standing at the window raised his eyes, looking out of the window at the little novice monk who came into the courtyard from nowhere.

"The news spread that the Wang family is going to hold a special banquet on the street, and everyone said that the Wang family's banquet is specially for..." The novice's voice trailed off.

"It's for me." Xie Wuling knocked on the window lattice. He always wanted to see Uncle Wang when he came to Fufeng City, but he wanted to make a scene that would not be misunderstood by Duke Yong. Only the Wang family held a banquet, just like last time Zhao Zuo is like that, but the only difference is that Zhao Zuo invited family members, while Uncle Wang invited scholars from all over the world.

Thinking that he had to make some moves during the banquet, and had to let Jiang Jing be pressed in front of Fufeng literati, his heart couldn't help but tighten.

"That's right, brother, you don't know, you are famous in this city, I can hear them talking about you when I eat tea."

Xie Wuling looked back at the apricot tree outside the window again, thinking about the souvenirs to bring to the banquet, so he didn't listen to the little novice's last words, but only heard the little novice's voice fell, so he raised his eyebrows to the little novice: "Uncle Wang said when will the invitation be sent?"

The Uncle Wang that Xie Wuling spoke of was Prime Minister Wang, and the little novice was ordered by Hui Xuan to come to Fufeng to be a messenger for his father Wang Cheng and Xie Wuling.

Although the novice monk is not very big, he traveled all over the world with his master, and learned kung fu from his uncle who guarded the temple.He is clever, good at observing words and demeanor, and also capable of writing and martial arts. If Xie Wuling's time was not right, the one who should really come to Fufeng should be this novice, not Xie Wuling.

Kuang Xie Wuling only met Prime Minister Wang a few times in the monastery, and was enlightened by him two or three times when he was young, so he was neither too close nor too far away, so he called him Uncle.

As for Wang Chengxiang and Xie Wuling's master, the abbot of Zhaoxing Temple, they really have a close relationship. The abbot mentioned in the letter that the abbot converted to Zhaoxing and guarded the foundation behind the royal family; while Wang Chengxiang sat firmly in the position of Wenxiang , Looking at the bright face of the country for the royal family.

Even if it is a powerful family like the Liang family, it can't be shaken, it is the prime minister of the royal family of this dynasty.

"It was said that it was delivered in the afternoon. It's almost time for dinner. Senior brother hasn't got it yet?" The little novice frowned, "But something went wrong, I'll ask again?"

Xie Wuling raised his hand to stop him: "I'm afraid there must be a mistake in this post. It's you, who said it was afternoon, why did you come to my place at this time?"

"Ah? Me, me, me..." The little novice faltered and fumbled, and subconsciously touched the oil on the corner of his mouth.

Xie Wuling watched his small movements, but then looked away for a moment, pretended not to see, and did not pursue further, continued to say what he just said: "It should be...Yong Guogong has not returned to the mansion? This post should have arrived at the mansion long ago. gone."

The little novice rubbed the back of his head, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Ah, that's right! I heard that Duke Yong was left in the palace for questioning today, and... Lord Congshan was also left behind."

"Then it looks like the play is really about to start."

"You... still live with Uncle Wang today?"

"Ah."

Xie Wuling closed the window, stepped outside the house, took a book from the couch under the tree, took a letter from the book, and handed it to the little monk.

"Then, you run for me first, and bring this letter to Mr. Congshan."

"it is good."

"If Mr. Shanlang keeps you, you will stay with him. It's not good to bother Uncle Wang all the time."

"Can……"

"But what?"

Isn't it annoying to bother Congshan Langjun?Seeing Xie Wuling's sharp eyebrows, the little novice finally swallowed the question.

"No, nothing."

"Then, go quickly, someone will come to deliver dinner later, don't let anyone bump into you."

Just as Xie Wuling said, the little novice had just walked over the fence not long after, a young servant pushed the door in behind him, but it was not to deliver dinner, but to say that the Duke invited him to the main hall for dinner.

It's been a few days, and it's the first time Xie Wuling has eaten in the main hall.

It is said that Duke Yong treats him well, but he has never treated him as a guest with the dining ceremony in the main hall. He said that Duke Yong treats him badly, but this person sent someone to clean up a courtyard for him. disturbed.

Of course, it was only later that Xie Wuling found out that the courtyard that was tidied up was nothing but Duke Yong's ulterior motives.

The main hall is located in the first hall, and there is an Eight Immortals table and several chairs and stools in the hall.The cloth dishes on the table are extremely delicate, there are many vegetarian dishes, and the meat dishes are much less. It can be seen that the people who serve the dishes are very attentive.

"Little Mister, you're already here? Then take a seat first, come and have a taste?" With a chuckle, it was the Mrs. Liang whom I met yesterday, Liang Zhen, who came with gold ornaments and a bun, bright phoenix eyes, and a suit of clothes. Come luxuriously.

Xie Wuling nodded and sat down, but did not move his chopsticks.Liang Chun spoke as if he could see what was in his heart.

"Mr. Xiao, don't wait for the Duke. He was left in the palace by his father. No matter what, he had to eat dinner before he came out."

"The boy who just invited me..." The name was mentioned in the name of Duke Yong, Xie Wuling frowned and looked at the person in front of him.

"It's my own decision, Mr. Xiao, don't blame me, the Duke has always known me, so he will not blame me."

"I don't know Madam, what do you mean?" Xie Wuling looked down at the pair of wooden chopsticks on the table, and suddenly felt that this was not something he could afford.

"I heard that Mr. Xiao came from Zhaoxing Temple. I have a question. I want to ask Mr. Xiao for advice, but there is no other way."

The custom of infidelity between men and women in Fufeng is naturally stricter than other places. Liang Zhen is not only the daughter of the Liang family, but also the eldest daughter-in-law of the royal family.She looked at her with more eyes.Xie Wuling knew this.

For this dinner, he only saw Liang Zhen as the host, so he half guessed the purpose of this dinner.

"Let's say, Madam, Wuling's humble opinion, although I can't answer all of them, I will try my best to explain Madam's doubts."

"I heard a story in the early years. Since Fufeng was established as the capital, in the three dynasties, there has been a virtuous minister. Does Mr. Xiao know this?"

"Slightly heard."

"A virtuous official either came from Xianshan or returned to Xianshan, and Mr. Xiao's Zhaoxing Temple is also located on the mountainside of Xianshan. Mr. Xiao has heard of it a little?"

"Yeah." Xie Wuling heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, picked up the chopsticks, and picked up the fried peanuts in front of him, thinking that it would be better if he had a sip of wine, when he looked up and saw that the lady's eyes were still locked on him, so he went again Said, "I remember a little more. My master once met the Holy One. Madame wants to ask me why I came here?"

"No, I want to ask, Mr. Xiao, are you from Xianshan?"

"Wuling came from Zhaoxing, so he is from Xianshan. Madam, you are joking."

Xie Wuling raised his hand to hold the teacup, took a sip, as if he had found something good, his brows relaxed, and he drank the tea in one gulp like wine.

"A table of good food, a pot of birthday eyebrows, Madam only asks this question, it's not worth it."

"It's worth it. Thank you Mr. Xiao on behalf of the Duke."

"I'm afraid it's too early to thank you." Xie Wuling's eyebrows twitched, and his voice became cold.

"Sooner or later, I will be thanked, Mr. Xiao said, is this the reason?" Liang Chenqing raised a frown, and the phoenix eyes became a bit more spiritual.

Xie Wuling, however, just smiled and said nothing, people say that the Liang family has a daughter named Chun, who looks like a girl and is intelligent and thoughtful.Looking at it now, this wisdom has been completely missed.

"Ma'am, Wuling also has a question."

"Ok?"

"Is Madam the daughter of the Liang family, or the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family?"

"Is there a difference? I have a second daughter from the Liang family, and I will marry the eldest son, who is also the prince of the Zhao family. Do you think there is a difference, Mr. Xiao?"

"Wuling is still the same, there is a difference. Brother Huixuan was the prince of the royal family before he converted." Xie Wuling lightly mentioned something.

Liang Chun seemed to have never heard of it: "But I have converted after all. You are a daughter of a concubine, and you will be inferior after all when you marry. Besides, Mr. Xiao is still living in the residence of Duke Yong. Mr. Xiao needs to know why Duke Yong wants you Come to Fufeng, live in the Duke's mansion?"

"Wuling is dull." Xie Wuling pretended to be stupid.

"If the little gentleman is stupid, it will be in vain to talk all night. The Duke is the concubine, and the daughter is also the daughter. What the Duke thinks is what the Duke thinks. There is a sentence that the Duke has never said to the little gentleman. Today, I will simply say it." .”

"I also ask Madam to enlighten me."

"This saying is 'if you come, you will be safe'."

"No mausoleum is taught, these six characters, the mausoleum dare not forget. The mausoleum also has four characters to give away, which is called 'what happens in heaven'. We believe in gods and Buddhas. To know whether we have the ability to eat this meal, it depends on the reward of heaven's family. No reward. Since Wuling has come, he is naturally willing to do his best. It’s just that the fate of this day is unpredictable in Wuling’s future.”

After saying that, Xie Wuling got up and left without saying a word.

The author has something to say: There are too many foreshadowings in front of me. I originally wanted to finish the foreshadowing quickly... I accidentally talked too much nonsense. The next chapter really officially begins
