Chapter 20 Searching for him in the crowd
The spring is bright and the wind is bright, and it is a good time to go to the spring.
From early morning, there were blue smoke in Tongtai Temple, and there were many pilgrims, among which there were many female pilgrims.
If it were elsewhere, it was necessary to pick up a disciple to chat with him. However, Tongtai Temple is a solemn place in Buddhism, and there were also emperors who had been the emperor who had mastered twenty or thirty stick monks with skill in martial arts. Therefore, the market was extinct, which made many beautiful talks about talented men and beautiful women.
Today, it was the second time I went out. Although Yue Qianqiu did not have the interest of visiting the temple to see the beautiful women, he still began to look around as soon as he entered the mountain gate, until a dissatisfied voice came from the side.
"Can you stop looking around every time you go out? It's okay to go on the carriage, but you'll still be like this when you go to Tongtai Temple!"
Yue Qianqiu glanced at Yue Xiuyi. He was wearing a jade silk shirt that the eldest wife had just given him. Yue Xiuyi was in a blue lake silk shirt. Both of them had the same black shoes and white socks under their feet, and they looked like a pair of brothers of the same age.
The uncle and nephew are too young and don’t wear a headscarf when they come out today. In order to look older, the original drooping hair has been changed to a horn tied with red silk ribbons. Fortunately, the hair is barely long enough, and it looks like it’s two years older.
The reason why Yue Qianqiu helped Yue Xiuyi make a lie in front of the third master of Yue Er and took the person to see the old man was that he didn't catch a cold when the old man said that the old man didn't catch a cold, and he was thinking about finding someone to put the jar on the tank. The second was that the faces of the second and third bedrooms really made him nauseous. Since the eldest wife showed goodwill, Yue Xiuyi was not bad in nature, and the eldest wife was a very suitable ally.
So, today, their uncle and nephew came to Tongtai Temple to visit the famous scholar who saw the dragon but didn't see the tail.
After hearing Yue Xiuyi's mutter, Yue Qianqiu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you know the Mr. Yan the grandfather mentioned?"
"Of course I don't know."
Yue Qianqiu pointed to Yue Jin'er who came out with them behind him: "Does Yue Jin'er know him?"
Seeing Yue Jin'er shook his head quickly, Yue Qianqiu said angrily: "Why would I look around and see someone?"
Yue Xiuyi couldn't help but mutter: "I know you're looking for Mr. Yan, but if you can't find him, don't we go back soon? We don't have the most serious illness in our great-grandfather's illness when we get to school. We might as well spend more time with him."
"I'm not happy either. But grandpa had thought of this idea you had made. He specifically ordered that if you couldn't find it, you wouldn't have to go back. Let us pray for him and stay in Tongtai Temple for a few days. You said, wouldn't that delay time?"
Only Yue Qianqiu knew that Old Master Yue had an incredible plan that was hidden from his apprenticeship. But even so, he didn't think this matter was so urgent.
What's more, the old man didn't know what the gourd was selling, so he didn't tell him what Mr. Yan was called, but only said that the other party always lived in Tongtai Temple, and described the other party's daily dress.
At about thirty years old, he had a feather fan and a scarf, a robe and a slut, and a handsome face, like a banished immortal...
Hearing the old man's dry adjectives, he didn't want to come at all. He had the least favor of such a guy who loves to pretend!
Don’t be like Qiu Chuan again!
The uncle and nephew went to the hall to worship Buddha in a serious manner, and almost passed the entire Tongtai Temple, but they never found the old man described it. Finally, they donated ten taels of spice and oil money and got a wooden sign of friendship. Yue Qianqiu brought Yue Xiuyi and Yue Jin'er to the living hall.
According to his original intention, he naturally took the opportunity to rent a house. But as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the guest hall, he did not see the monk in the guest hall. When he was looking for someone around, he saw a middle-aged handsome man rushing out like a gust of wind.
When he found that the man was walking down and didn't look at people, he hurriedly reached out and pulled Yue Xiuyi to the side. The two of them were young and barely avoided them, but the follower Yue Jin'er behind him collided with the middle-aged Xiushi.
After a muffled sound, the two of them staggered back several steps.
Yue Jin'er realized that if Yue Qianqiu and Yue Xiuyi had not been able to hide quickly just now, she was almost knocked over. She couldn't help but be afraid, so she covered her nose and cursed.
"You don't have eyes when you are exiled?"
After swearing, the middle-aged showman was immediately angry and said, "Who is the dog thief scolding?"
The reason why the middle-aged man is to describe the middle-aged man as a master is that Yue Qianqiu had just glanced at him. But when he looked at him carefully, he saw that the other person was unshaven, his face was haggard, his half-old blue Confucian shirt, his hands and fingers were evenly shaped and slender, and he could vaguely see the calluses. He didn't look like an ordinary scholar. He couldn't help but think of Zhou Jiyue who was placed in the Qingfen Pavilion.
I remember which martial arts novel mentioned that women, children, monks, scholars, seems that these types of people in the martial arts world are the most difficult to mess with...
At this moment, a monk from the guest hurriedly came in from outside. Seeing the two confrontation scenes, he immediately frowned: "Kou Mingtang, what's going on?"
"Master Hui'an, a small misunderstanding, just a small misunderstanding!"
The middle-aged Xiushi, who was called Kou Mingtang by the monk Hui'an, was stunned at first, then put away his face as if a mouse saw a cat, and explained repeatedly. The next moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Yue Qianqiu and Yue Xiuyi. After a moment of stunnedness, he turned angry and joyful, and walked up quickly.
"The two young men have a very good bones, and they have a passionate spirit between their eyebrows. They will definitely become great in the future!"
The conflict almost started just now, but at this moment, the other party suddenly changed his face to compliment. Yue Xiu, who had less dealing with outsiders, was stunned.
So, when Yue Qianqiu took a step forward and blocked him behind him, he felt relieved.
Yue Qianqiu nodded seriously and said, "Your Majesty is full and the ground is round, so you will definitely be rich and noble in the future."
When he found that Kou Mingtang was obviously stunned, he pretended to be confused and asked, "You almost hit us just now, but my entourage scolded you, so it was considered to be a fight between the two sides... Now if you compliment me, I will compliment you again, isn't it even though?"
This time, Hui'an, a monk who knew the whole story, couldn't help but be happy. He nodded to Yue Qianqiu and said, "This young man said it well, it's really even."
Seeing that Hui'an seemed to be in a good mood, Yue Qianqiu immediately left Kou Mingtang and pulled Yue Xiuyi to him. He smiled and presented the wooden sign with a bond.
"Master Hui'an, I heard that the incense of Tongtai Temple is effective. We want to stay for a few days. I wonder if it is convenient?"
When Hui'an heard Yue Qianqiu come forward, he saw the shape of the wooden sign of Jieyuan, and knew that this was a generous donor who had donated more than ten taels of incense and oil, and he became even more polite at the moment.
"How long will the young master stay? How many rooms are there? The young monk will ask someone to clean up."
"One room is enough, at least three or five days, and at most seven or eight days." Yue Qianqiu found Hui'an easy to talk, and now he had to make a request, "It is best that the neighbors are all elegant and studious, so that we can get involved in the literary spirit of Tongtai Temple."
I hope Mr. Yan can happen to be a neighbor, otherwise the old man's task will not be easy to complete!
Hui'an's eyes were so smiling that he narrowed his eyes. He felt that the boy from the horn was really good at speaking, and he agreed immediately. But before he could ask Xiaoshami to make arrangements, Kou Mingtang, who had just been neglected, came forward with a quick glance.
"A room is vacant next to me, which is quiet and peaceful."
This time, before Yue Jin'er could retort, Hui'an glanced at him sideways.
"Kou Mingtang, since you lived in Tongtai Temple, you have almost never been quiet. You either quarrel with others or owed food expenses outside the temple, and you didn't even pay the rent for the last month. If the abbot hadn't tolerated it, you could have lived until now? Yesterday, you almost started fighting with someone in the yard. Do you still have the face to say that you are your neighbor Yajing and you are comfortable?"
Kou Mingtang's face changed when he was exposed like this, but his eyes looked at Yue Qianqiu and Yue Xiuyi. Seeing the one in front of him looking at him thoughtfully and the one behind him frowned, he had to fold his smile again.
"Master Hui'an, I know that Tongtai Temple's living room is large, but there are five or six yards in total. Now all live in, there are empty rooms, but it is definitely not as quiet as the yard I live in. The yard is empty on the east and west sides, especially the main room facing north and south, with a total of three rooms. The guest who quarreled with me yesterday just moved out. Isn't it the best suitable for these two young masters?"
Seeing that the monk Hui'an was so angry that he couldn't help but hesitate, Yue Qianqiu felt a little bit of it.
If you have nothing to do, you will be either traitor or robber. Could this guy have any other plans?
Seeing that Hui'an seemed to be waiting for Yue Qianqiu and his group to make up their minds, Kou Mingtang immediately smiled and bowed to Yue Jin'er and apologized.
Even if Yue Jiner was really angry at first, he gradually calmed down when a Confucian scholar lowered his posture. After comforting him, Kou Mingtang smiled at Yue's uncle and nephew again.
"The two young men, it was my fault that I just accidentally collided. I apologize to you. I was not a compliment just now. The two young men are indeed very skeletons and will definitely be extraordinary talents in the future. You just said that you should be neighbors with elegant people, but in fact I am also well-read about poetry and books..."
Just as Kou Mingtang was boasting about himself, the monk Hui'an finally spoke.
