33. Magical Night
Yao Guangqi widened his eyes. He was completely shocked. In the habitual expression of the post-90s generation, he was struck by lightning: "What?"
Yuan Gong felt that it was enough to make a joke, so he said, "You don't understand after you say it, so I will explain it to you." Then he walked towards the main courtyard.
When I arrived at the main courtyard, I saw monks and Taoists in the yard. They were chanting scriptures. Although they didn't know what they were chanting, they were in the main courtyard, and the sounds of their chanting scriptures were intertwined, which was really shocking. Yao Guangqi lay in Yuan Gong's ear and was about to speak, but Yuan Gong seemed to see Yao Guangqi's question and first explained: "They came at noon. The royal palace specially invited the rituals to do the Taoist rituals. Didn't I say last night that the royal palace had been a villain recently and had a bloody disaster. I would like to invite the monks and masters to suppress the evil spirit."
Yao Guangqi seemed to understand, because he actually saw a group of nuns and Taoist nuns in a corner of the yard. The formation made in this temple was really big: "Do we want to follow..."
Yuan Gong shook his head and blinked again, signaling Yao Guangqi not to speak again.
Soon, the housekeeper Wen Zhixin walked to the main courtyard, signaled everyone to stop, and said to everyone with a smile: "Dear monks and great masters, all immortals and fellow Taoists, our prince is not in good health and cannot come to thank you in person. In the next generation, we thank you for praying for blessings and exorcising evil spirits for the royal palace. Our prince specifically instructed you, thank you for your hard work. In addition to the previously agreed incense offering, the monks and Taoists who come here today will make ten taels of incense, one monk's shoes or Taoist robe. This is our prince's extra thought. Please accept it with a smile."
Before Wen Zhixin finished speaking, those who chanted the Buddha's name and the Taoist name were thanked directly, and the thanks were in a mess. Before the thanks were over, two rows of family members walked out from behind. Each of them had a big tray, which was piled up on it, which was obviously incense money and Taoist robe monk robe. Then Wen Zhixin and several other head-to-faced housekeepers began to distribute incense money and clothes respectively. The monks received the money and clothes at the scene, and thanked them continuously, and the yard was very lively.
At this moment, Wen Zhixin personally distributed it to Yuan Gong and Yao Guangqi. He blinked at Yuan Gong, then took out two bags from the bottom of the family tray behind him and handed them to Yao Guangqi and Yuan Gong respectively. Yuan Gong took it openly. Yao Guangqi saw that Yuan Gong took it, and he also took it, but as soon as he received it, he felt that the bag was very heavy. There were more than ten taels of silver and a monk's robe.
After paying the incense money, Wen Zhixin personally gave these monks and Taoists out of the royal palace. Of course, Yuan Gong and Yao Guangqi also followed.
According to the previous statement, Yao Guangqi just needs to follow Yuan Gong. He has only learned it now. It turns out that this kid has many tricks and he designed all of this. So although Yao Guangqi didn't know where to go, he was not panicked.
It was already dark, and the Taoist priests they followed were walking fast. Yao Guangqi turned left and right, but did not remember the road. He came to a Taoist temple. It was strange that when the two of them followed the Taoist temple, the Taoist priests guarding the gate did not raise any objection and allowed them to enter.
What surprised Yao Guangqi even more was that after entering the Taoist temple, all the Taoist priests walked towards the main hall consciously, but one of them came out and made an invitation to Yuan Gong. Yuan Gong pulled Yao Guangqi's sleeve and signaled him to follow him.
The Taoist priest led the two to the backyard, entered a small room, and left without saying a word. The Taoist priest who led the way never said a word from beginning to end.
After entering the room, Yuan Gong smiled and said to Yao Guangqi: "Okay, let's sleep here tonight and leave tomorrow."
Yao Guangqi was very curious, but he still held back, put down the package, and began to observe the house.
Yuan Gong seemed to be familiar with this environment. He picked up a teapot on the table, poured water and drank it on his own: "The package is ready, there are clothes I changed along the way, silver, and your certificate."
Yao Guangqi admired Yuan Gong a little. The arrangement was so thoughtful, and everything was organized and everything was organized. Just as he was about to speak, he heard someone knocking on the door.
Yuan Gong said casually: "Come in."
The Taoist priest who led the way just now came in. This time he came in with a large tray. The tray was full of hot food. When Yuan Gong saw the food, he frowned and complained, "It's all vegetarian, right? I don't want to eat here, so I don't even have any meat."
The Taoist priest opened his mouth this time, and smiled while cooking, saying, "I know you eat meat, so the master specifically told me that there is meat this time."
Yuan Gong walked to the dining table, smelled it, and was overjoyed: "This is almost the same. Let me tell you the master, saying I am very happy, I am not a vegetarian." He turned to Yao Guangqi and said, "Come on, eat, the Taoist priests here are just chanting scriptures, but the rice is delicious, especially these vegetarian dishes. There is no better vegetarian dish in Beijing than this, but I have to say that they are not very good at making meat, so they will eat some, and they can sleep after eating enough."
Yao Guangqi now really believed what Yuan Gong said before. If he came back early, Zhu Di would not have to take the risk of disguising himself and Zhang Yu as entourages. Just Yuan Gong's arrangements and means tonight, this person's connections cannot be underestimated.
Yao Guangqi was actually not hungry. He had already eaten very full before he came out, but after a little taste of the dishes, Yao Guangqi changed his mind. The reason was very simple. It was so delicious. The cold bamboo shoots were crispy and fresh. The fried lilies were just right. The soup made of osmanthus roses and loofah was not only attractive in color, but also felt sweet and crisp as soon as it was eaten. Yao Guangqi was out of control and ate two bowls of rice in one breath.
After dinner, Yuan Gong lay down and fell asleep, and started to snore as soon as he lay down.
Yao Guangqi has a habit of changing the environment and it becomes difficult to fall asleep. In addition, he has a lot of worries tonight, so he can't fall asleep even if he lies down for a long time.
After a while, Yao Guangqi suddenly heard Yuan Gong say, "Why don't you sleep?"
Yao Guangqi said: "Didn't you sleep?"
Yuan Gong said: "Although I'm asleep, I know you haven't, so I woke up and chat with you."
Yao Guangqi wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh: "How do you know I didn't sleep after you slept?"
Yuan Gong turned over and said to Yao Guangqi: "I have this ability. Don't believe it. You have seen my ability. Have I ever brag about it?"
Yao Guangqi really couldn't sleep, so he simply said something to Yuan Gong: "How can we leave the city tomorrow?"
