[Comprehensive martial arts] Hundreds of no taboos

Li Shen gave me a set of jade chess pieces.

Lin Shiyin blinked her eyes and said, "My stomach hurts, you guys talk, I'll go first."

Li Shen looked at her, paused, and said, "No, I'll take Shuang'er out."

Lin Shiyin's stomach pain stopped immediately, she looked at me eagerly, then at Li Shen, and asked, "Where are you going to play?"

Li Shen said, "Mingguang Temple."

I have heard of this. Mingguang Temple is located in the south corner of the capital, and there are four streets and nine alleys nearby. Relying on the incense of Mingguang Temple, it has become the most fun and lively place in the capital.

Lin Shiyin said enviously: "I only went there a few times when I was young, and every time it was like Chinese New Year."

Li Shen thought for a while and said, "It's been hot recently, and there aren't many people outside the temple. When the weather cools down in another month, brother will take you there."

Lin Shiyin immediately became happy, and ran into the room to find a pink cloud gauze veil for me, saying it was sunscreen.

I'm more used to this kind of young lady's dress.

When Li Shen came, he was riding in his own carriage. In fact, there was enough space in the carriage, but according to the rules, I couldn’t ride in the same carriage as him. I could only ride in the Lin family’s carriage and follow Li Shen.

I don't like this rule very much, but I can barely bear it.

It will be much better when we arrive at Mingguang Temple. Most of the people who come here are women and ladies wearing veiled hats. Male guests and female guests are not separated. There are also some men and women who look like husband and wife come to worship Buddha. It seems that Li Shen and I are two people together The appearance is not very out of the ordinary.

I asked Li Shen, "Why do you want to bring me to the temple?"

I don't believe in gods and Buddhas.

Li Shen said: "If I told my aunt to take you out to eat, drink and have fun, she would definitely not agree, but I just said to take you out to worship Buddha, and she agreed."

My eyes fell on the "four streets and nine alleys" outside the temple.

I said happily: "Then shall we worship the Buddha first, or worship it after playing?"

I think it's better to play first and then pray!

Li Shen laughed, and said: "Although I don't believe this, but it's agreed to come to worship the Buddha, it's not easy to let the Buddha wait, let's worship first and then go to play."

I sighed and had to follow him in.

It was the afternoon when the sun was at its strongest, and not many people came, so Li Shen and I quickly got in line, bought incense sticks from the monks in the temple, and there was almost no line. I heard the weather When it's not hot, some people can't line up a stick of incense from morning to night. Many people who come from other places sleep outside the temple with bedding, waiting to get up early to burn incense.

Because I didn't believe this, I just lit a stick of incense and bowed casually without asking for anything.

I don't even ask for people, let alone ask God to worship Buddha.

Li Shen seriously burned three sticks of incense, and then bowed. When a monk asked him if he wanted to sign, he shook his head.

After coming out of Mingguang Temple, the sun was getting stronger. Li Shen stretched out his hand, pulled up the powder cloud gauze that I had pushed to both sides, and said in a warm voice, "The road is close, the streets and alleys cannot be entered by carriages, we have to walk in, don't let the sun out." caught."

I squinted my eyes and looked at him through the clouds, and said, "A beauty is like a flower separated by clouds."

Li Shen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Obviously within reach."

Then he took a step behind, stretched out his finger and pointed to the direction, and took me to the nearest street.

I glanced at his hand hanging by his side.

The fart is within reach.

There are not many people on any street at the moment, and the shops are open. Whether it is the vendors outside or the shop assistants, they are a little listless when they see people coming. Li Shen took me to a teahouse to sit. Then he said, "Wait for me here."

I nodded.

Li Shen walked out from the teahouse and walked not far west, just stopping at the position where I could see him from the window. It would be nice if ordinary people could see him clearly, but my eyesight let me see him The stuff that was sold at the stall that stopped.

Snow ice bowl.

Recognizing it does not mean that I have eaten it. This is what Lin Shiyin talks to me most often. She also talks about eating a lot. I am only responsible for saying "I haven't eaten it" every time she says it. I didn't expect it to be several years. Li Shen still remembered.

I immediately put down the teacup and waited.

Not long after, Li Shen came back with a crystal clear bowl of snow and ice.

The snow and ice bowl looks more beautiful than its name. The ice is crushed into snow sand, sprinkled with a thick layer of melon pieces, and then covered with a layer of snow sand, and then put fresh crushed peaches, mulberries and Orange petals, the most interesting thing is that the bowl itself is carved out of a whole piece of ice, and the colorful fruit pieces in the snow sand are contained in the ice bowl, which is very beautiful.

Accompanying the snow and ice bowl was a cheap bamboo spoon.

Li Shen said: "It's also the first time I've eaten this. The store over there said that the ice bowl melts very slowly. After eating the snow and sand, I threw the ice bowl outside and smashed it on the ground. The weather melted away in a short time."

I used a spoon to dig a large spoonful of snow ice with mulberries in it. The snow ice was sweet and matched with the unique taste of mulberries. There was some refreshing fruity aroma in the ice sweetness.

I finished eating the snow and ice bowl in a while.

If I didn't take a bite and realize that the ice bowl itself is tasteless, I would have eaten the bowl.

Coming out of the teahouse is to listen to an opera. The theater is not far from the left turn of the teahouse. It sings a story about a monkey making trouble in the heavenly palace and was finally suppressed by the Buddha. Written by the monk.

But the play itself is very interesting.

Li Shen and I stayed in the theater for a full hour, and when we came out, the sun was at its peak, and it wasn't too late.

I rubbed my eyes and said to Li Shen: "I think that monkey is a bit crazy, but it's not as heinous as it is in the play. It lasts for 500 years, which is too much."

Li Shen said: "If you don't teach, you will be punished, which is extremely cruel."

I sighed, thinking that if Li Shen was born in the same place as me, he would be a very suitable person to be a Taoist, at least he is really reasonable.

I put aside the monkey matter and asked Li Shen, "Is there any other fun place? I don't want to go back so early."

Li Shen said, "There are novelty sellers on Xiaonan Street, do you want to take a look?"

I shook my head, I don't want to buy anything, I just want to play.

Li Shen thought for a while and said, "Then go to the Raoliang Pavilion. Although it is closer to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, it has a good reputation. There are both male and female guests. They usually listen to music. If you want to, you can also use paperwork." Make friends with music on the wall.”

I blinked and said, "In addition to temples, there are places for female guests to have fun in the capital?"

Actually, I didn't mean to be sarcastic, but the tone of my words was a little mocking, and I couldn't change it.

Li Shen smiled and said: "Although the atmosphere is not as open as it was in the previous dynasty, there is still no express law to confine women to the back house and not let them out. Naturally, there are female guests."

I'm actually a little unhappy, although I know very well that no matter what kind of man I find, no one will keep me in the back house, but I'm still not very happy.

Maybe it's something that hurts its kind.

Li Shen led me on the street, he knew the way, maybe he had been here before.

I didn't speak, and he didn't speak again. After walking for a long time, he suddenly said: "This world is too unfair to women. I can't change much, but I can guarantee that I will not be like those people." .”

I nodded and said, "You just need to be like... Master Lin, that's enough."

To be honest, if there is no Li Shen, I am really afraid that my vision will be bad in the future. If I find someone who dares to marry the second wife, I haven't killed anyone for many years.

I was a little surprised that Li Shen didn't answer my words, but when I looked up, I found that he looked hesitant and struggling.

I especially understand this expression.

Because I often have.

I like it a little, but not to a certain extent. I make a subconscious commitment emotionally, but I haven’t made up my mind intellectually. This usually happens when I fancy a target, but I hesitate to think whether there will be a better time.

Li Shen is not the same as me, he should just be hesitating whether to continue to get along with me like this, after all, the previous conversation was a bit ambiguous, he should have suddenly woke up.

I sighed, took the initiative to take a step forward, kindly did not put pressure on him, and entered the Liangliang Pavilion in front of him.

Sure enough, there were many girls in it.

Different from Mingguang Temple, the female guests and the male guests of the Raoliang Pavilion are separated, separated by bamboo door paper walls on both sides, and single rooms and double rooms are separated between the paper walls. There is a beautiful girl in the middle of the paper walls on both sides. Singing in a low voice, the silhouettes of several musicians were separated behind the paper wall, vaguely visible.

Obviously this is not the first time Li Shen has come here. He took me into a double room separated by a paper wall. There is no distinction between male and female guests, but the double rooms are farther inward, to a large extent. Avoid female customers being harassed.

A waiter came to ask whether to drink tea or listen to music.

Li Shen explained: "Drinking tea means sitting here and listening to people singing outside. You can invite people in to listen to the music, both singers and musicians."

I myself am almost a musician who knows everything.

So I shook my head and said, "Listen to the music, don't need a musician."

The waiter immediately asked someone to present a list, and Li Shen said, "One person can sing up to three songs, and if there are too many, your voice will be bad...Do you really want a musician?"

I said: "You can only hear the truth if you sing a cappella. I want to listen to "Long Lovesickness"."

The waiter had probably never seen someone who listened to music without a musician, and was a little hesitant, but Li Shen gave the money happily, so he stopped talking nonsense, and a young girl in a green skirt came after a while. Fang Fang bowed to us and sang "Long Lovesickness".

"Long Lovesickness" by Li Bai.

The girl's voice was clear and soft, maybe she was feeling something, and she sang very beautifully.

I looked at Li Shen.

The girl just sang that sentence, the beauty is like a flower across the clouds.

Li Shen paused, first glanced at me, then lowered his eyes, after a while, when the girl sang the last line, he suddenly raised his eyes.

Then took my hand.
