Contrary to Wu Haogu's expectations, the mysterious boy did not show up at the West Garden Elegant Collection.

When Wu Haogu and Wu Haowen followed Gao Yu into the back garden of Baoning Cidi, there were already twenty or thirty people there, but there was no mysterious boy among them, and Wang Xu, the concubine, was not there.

These people seemed to know Wu Haogu, so as soon as the three of them walked in, someone immediately stood up and said hello, Wu Haogu also returned the salute one by one, and Gao Yu introduced unknown visitors to Wu Haogu from time to time.

Those who can appear on the West Garden Elegance Collection are naturally first-class characters, and now they are all respectful and respectful to Wu Haogu, a person who has no fame at all, and is not even a scholar, but Wu Haowen, who has always looked down on his brother, has a feeling like in a dream.

However, Wu Haogu and these characters with heads and faces do not have much in common, after all, he is only a cloth merchant now, and he cannot be regarded as one of them.

After greeting these people for a while, Wu Haogu and Wu Haowen found a remote place to sit down, and Gao Yu rushed to find the king and the horse with the "Keju Picture" that had just arrived—this picture is his Gao Yu's ladder to heaven today!

"Chongdao, why are you sitting here alone?"

Just when Wu Haogu was sitting in the corner and was about to observe the legendary Xiyuan Yaji, he suddenly heard someone call him.

When I turned around, I saw that there were two monks and three men, and Su Dalang from the Su family's shop, dressed as a scholar, looked a little elegant. The two monks are one old and one strong, one short and one tall.

The short one is an old monk, not even one meter and a half by sight, well maintained, with a white face, not many wrinkles, but his eyebrows are white, obviously a little old.

The tall monk was in the prime of life, more than six feet long, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a round face and large ears, a straight nose and a square mouth, and a beard on the cheeks, which looked messy. This appearance is somewhat similar to the great monk of the roast pig courtyard of the Great Xiangguo Temple, but this monk is not as happy as the roast pig courtyard all day long, but has a serious face and a bit of murderous spirit.

"Why is Su Dalang here?"

Wu Haogu hurriedly got up and saluted Su Dalang.

Su Dalang smiled, "I was ordered by my father to accompany two monks from Wutai Mountain to this West Garden to see the excitement."

Oh, wait for me to introduce, this is the senior monk of Wutai Mountain Zhenrong Monastery, this is Wutai Mountain Wenshu Monastery senior monk Zhishen. ”

Wutai Mountain Wenshu Monastery monk Zhishen?

Isn't this Lu Zhishen? Is there really such a person?

What did he do when he came to Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo? Could it be that like Lu Zhishen in the Water Margin, he came to Daxiangguo Temple to see the vegetable garden?

No, there is no vegetable garden in Daxiangguo Temple, and the monks there are super rich, how can they grow their own vegetables?

Wu Haogu, who was puzzled by the appearance of Monk Zhishen, was a little in a daze for a while.

"Chongdao, Chongdao?"

"Ahh

Wu Haogu came to his senses and hurriedly showed a look of surprise, "Please forgive the two senior monks, it is really rude for a while." ”

The two great monks didn't show much displeasure, and the great monk with the Dharma name Zhishen didn't smile, but just returned the salute. The short old monk smiled faintly and said: "When the donor saw the old monk and Master Zhishen, he was fascinated for a while, and he was fated, and he will go to the house to visit when the old monk returns from Jingdong in the coming day." ”

"Where does the master want to go?" Wu Haogu asked casually.

"Return to Japan." The old monk smiled, "The old monk is a Japanese person, who crossed the sea into the Song Dynasty for more than ten years, and wanted to bury his bones in China, but because the Buddha dreamed and ordered me to return to the east, he came to Kaifeng and said goodbye to his old friends." ”

It turned out to be a homesick old Japanese monk.

Wu Haogu said with a smile: "In this way, the master and a certain family are really fateful, and a certain family will also travel east to Haizhou in the near future, or they can go the same way as the master."

By the way, does this Zhishen monk also want to go east to preach the Dharma? ”

"The Sprinkle family can't go to Japan," Monk Zhishen said with a Kansai accent, "The Sprinkle family only escorted the master of quitting to Haizhou and returned." ”

"If you go to Haizhou, that's the same way."

Wu Haogu thought to himself, it may be a bit dangerous to go to Haizhou here, if there is a "Lu Zhishen" with him, it will be a little more secure.

The master of the precept folded his hands and said: "Then let's go to Haizhou together, the old monk will be in the Daxiangguo Temple these days, and when he meets the official, he will go east." ”

It's still a monk who can meet the emperor! Wu Hao Guxin said: This old monk returned to Japan, and most of them were also a great and virtuous monk with a very high status, and they should have made friends along the way......

Just when Wu Haogu wanted to continue to talk to the old Japanese monk, he suddenly heard Gao Yu say in his ear: "Da Lang, the horse is here." ”

"Oh."

Wu Haogu and the two monks hurriedly turned around and stopped talking.

I saw the direction of Gao Yu's finger, the old horse Wang Xuzheng and a beautiful woman in their thirties slowly walked up to a small bridge and were walking towards the place where everyone gathered.

When he got closer, Wu Haogu realized that the woman was actually a stunning woman. The two smoky eyebrows seem to be frowning, a pair of affectionate eyes look forward to life, the two seem to be sorrowful, and there is a bit of charm in the coquettishness.

It is Wu Haogu, who has a heart to belong to, and when he saw this woman at first glance, he couldn't help but feel admiration and love.

Wang Xu and the woman walked straight towards Wu Haogu, Wu Haogu hurriedly took a few steps forward and saluted Wang Xu, "Xiao Di Wu Haogu has seen Wang Haogu's horse. ”

Wang Shu nodded, and before he could speak, the beautiful woman beside him smiled: "You are the unparalleled Wu Dalang in the world?" ”

"There is no one in the world who dare not be there, and Wu Dalang is below."

The beautiful woman smiled, "The slave is Master Li, I wonder if I can ask Da Lang to draw a piece of paper for the slave?" ”

Wu Haogu was stunned when he heard this.

Isn't Master Li the concubine of Song Huizong? Now that Song Huizong is still a young man, how can Master Li be a beautiful woman?

At this age, it's not very suitable......

No, Master Li is indeed a long-famous horn trick. Thinking of Master Li, Wu Haogu's mind suddenly surged out a lot of content related to her.

It turned out that before being replaced, Wu Haogu knew the name of Master Li. This Master Li has long been a generation of famous actors, Oiran Lady. Zhang Xian, Yan Jidao, Qin Guan, Zhou Bangyan and other Song poets have all had dealings with him. And he also left a lot of popular poems.

For example, Zhang Xian's word plate "Shishi Order" created for Li Shishi, and Yan Daoji's famous sentence "The distant mountains have long eyebrows, and the thin willow waist and limbs are curled." Makeup stands up for the spring breeze, and a smile is less. When I returned to Fengcheng, I said that I said with Qinglou: Looking at Yingchuan flowers all over the world, it is not as good as a teacher. ”

In addition, Qin Guan, who is respected as the generation of the word sect of the Wanyue School, also left behind "to see the teacher tonight, his cheeks are red with wine, the curtain is half rolled up and the light is outside, and the smoke is cool." Famous sentences.

Among them, Zhang Xian died twenty years ago, Yan Jidao is also sixty years old this year, and Qin Guan and Qin Shaoyou are slightly younger, and they are also nearly fifty years old.

The famous actors who can intersect with these older generations of literati and artists are naturally not too young.

It seems that Song Huizong originally liked older......

"What? Is it inconvenient? The woman who claimed to be Master Li asked with a smile.

"Convenient, convenient." Wu Hao Ancient Road, "When a certain person returns to Beijing from Haizhou, he will take a photo for Mrs. Li." ”

As he spoke, he thought in his heart: I don't know if there will be a famous painting "Master Li Photo Collection" by Wu Dalang of the Northern Song Dynasty in the Palace Museum in later generations?

Master Li smiled and said softly: "Dalang, the slave is waiting in the Tsing Yi Building in Zhen'an Fang, don't let the slave wait too long." ”

Wu Haogu arched his hand and replied, "Okay, a word is a certainty." ”
