"Okay, okay, can you say something normal." After Hu Xiaoniang glared at Chen Jian, she rubbed her fingers at Duan Shaojun, who had a strange expression. "Brother Xian, you have this, how much to borrow, brother, I'm hungry and crazy."

"Two, don't forget my master's advice, before the imperial examination, you must not go out of the temple gate, you must not set foot in the fireworks Liu Gong step, and you must not ......" In the end, the monk who had been following Duan Shaojun's ass came out, and he chattered there for a long time very calmly, directly making the two brothers look like ashes.

"Master Jianning, you are doing well, don't you say it? We don't go out, we don't go out if we die. Hu Xiaoniang forced her face to bow her hand again and again, which made the little monk close his mouth with satisfaction, and then bowed to Duan Shaojun. Little junior brother, you can get together with your friends, don't forget to go to see my master in a while, and the poor monk will leave first. ”

"It's really weird, I see that the two of you are clearly chubby, and everyone is round, why do you look like you are deeply hit?" After the little monk left, Duan Shaojun turned around and asked the two brothers.

"I haven't seen the oil for two months, you try it, every night there is neither the sound of bamboo, nor the red and green, alas, the most tragic thing in life is nothing more than this." Hu Xiaoniang stood with her hands in her hands, looking up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle with a bag of tears in her mouth, and said sadly.

"Okay, don't complain about you, I came to visit you two today, but I didn't listen to you complaining to me, why don't you complain about my uncle?" Duan Shaojun sat on the futon and leaned on the case leisurely. On the desk, there are also "I Ching" and "Spring and Autumn" as well as various annotated books.

"Do we dare? The old monk is really able to speak the Tao, not only him, his disciple is also a two clever tongue, I remember when I first arrived in the temple, because I dozed off during class, as a result, this Mengzhen master asked his disciples to give lectures to our brothers, and they had to hang their heads and stab their stocks, and explained to us the "Book of Changes" for a whole day and a night...... The taste is a hundred times more uncomfortable than squatting in the cave behind the mountain in the Hidden Dragon Temple in Lanting. ”

Hu Xiaoniang had an expression that life was worse than death, and Chen Jian even had tears in his eyes, looking like he couldn't look back on the past. It should be that the two of you don't usually work hard, but Duan Shaojun naturally won't say this, just schadenfreude and steal fun.

But then again, this Mengzhen master looks very easy to speak, and he can't imagine that he is so fierce, no worse than his own master. "Just dozing off? You two can't do anything unreasonable, right? Such a punishment? ”

Chen Jian laughed a little embarrassedly and glanced at Hu Xiaoniang, who was also frowning, before sighing helplessly. "Little brother, I hid a few catties of dried meat in the bookcase, and I hid behind the temple with Brother Jingfei to cook in a small pot to eat, but I fell asleep after eating, and burned a small piece of forest......"

Duan Shaojun was very helpless and gave a thumbs up to this pair of wonderful friends to show his respect, he didn't even have the slightest awareness of fire prevention, and he actually burned a small piece of forest, if it fell into the hands of his master. Not to mention anything else, Shizun Tie will definitely take action in person, use the Nine Yin White Bone Claw and Foshan Shadowless Feet to clean up these two fools first, and then hang them on the branches in the southeast direction of the back mountain of the Hidden Dragon Temple, so that they can realize their mistakes.

"But then again, this Mengzhen Master's knowledge is really this" Hu Xiaoniang sat lazily next to Duan Shaojun, and gave a thumbs up in the direction where Master Mengzhen disappeared.

"I just heard a little bit, and I think that my uncle is indeed very good, but Brother Jingfei, aren't you trying so hard to praise him because you are afraid that my uncle will hear you speak ill of him?" Duan Shaojun looked at the person in front of him very curiously, no one looked down on him, even the abbot of Meng, this thing was at most afraid of its fierceness, but Master Mengzhen asked him to say this, and Duan Shaojun couldn't help but be curious.

"Don't you know? Your master, Master Mengzhen, was the champion forty-four years ago, and when he was the champion in the examination, he was only at the age of a weak crown. Twenty-seven years ago, because of the loss of his wife and children in middle age, he was disheartened, so he resigned from the position of the right attendant of the ministry, hung up the crown and escaped into the empty door to worship the Buddha. ”

Hearing this, Duan Shaojun's eyes couldn't help but widen, and he lay down in a big groove fiercely, damn, Uncle Shi is so good, he is still a champion, this, this is true. No wonder the master allowed the two brothers to enter Beijing in advance, but the requirement was that the two brothers should go to Wenzhi Temple to study, and before he came to Beijing, the master also explained that if he was not good at self-study, he could go to Wenzhi Temple to find his master to solve his doubts.

"Champion, this is the glory of the world's scholars, and Master Mengzhen has become a hot servant of the ministry at the age of thirty-seven, but unfortunately he has suffered a big change and escaped into the empty door, otherwise, how can he also be a prime minister." Hu Xiaoniang looked adoring.

Duan Shaojun could only give a thumbs up speechlessly, at the age of thirty-seven, he became the right waiter of the ministry, and among the six servants, only the servant of the ministry was on the fourth grade, and the other waiters were all under the fourth grade, which was one level worse. In later generations, it was a high-ranking official who belonged to the deputy director of the Central Organization Department in later generations, although he was slightly inferior to Zuo Shilang, but the problem was that he was only 357, and the room for improvement and prospects were extremely huge.

Saying that he is the prime minister's talent is definitely not bragging, if there is no change, there must be no problem in doing one or two prime ministers or officials of the ministry.

Although Hu Xiaoniang and Chen Jian are left here to live very hard, although there is no meat to eat, there are still drops of vegetable oil, although there is no meat, but there are vegetarian ducks and vegetarian chickens, and they are also made of tofu skin mixed with sesame oil, which tastes really good.

Duan Shaojun praised the vegetarian chicken repeatedly, but Hu Xiaoniang and Chen Jian were like facing an enemy, trying to bite the vegetarian chicken. "It's delicious, that's okay to eat after a long time, we're almost tired of eating this stuff every day, I really miss the taste of real roast chicken, by the way, and what kind of fried chicken did you get, tsk, tsk, when I think about it, this saliva can't be stopped."

Seeing these two people eating vegetarian rice, constantly drooling and talking about those delicacies, and every time they said a delicious meal, Duan Shaojun's belly was about to laugh and hurt, these two brothers really know how to win the spiritual victory, they are simply two Tang Dynasty versions of Ah Q.

After saying goodbye for a long time, after using this vegetarian banquet with all the color and flavor, he agreed with the two brothers that the day before the imperial examination, he would definitely come to the door in person and pick up the two buddies to eat and drink in the sea as the final preparation before the tribute house.

sp; Then said goodbye to the pair and picked up the "Book of Changes" or the two brothers who were studying crookedly, and then under the guidance of a middle-aged monk, they went straight to the backyard of the temple. Compared to the place where Master Fang Cai Mengzhen explained the I Ching to the two brothers, the backyard is much quieter and more elegant, there is no small bridge and flowing water, no pond swimming fish, just a slightly undulating hillock, and hundreds of dense green trees on the hill. Among the trees, a long-trodden path leads to a thatched hut in front of which a deep well is hidden by a gazebo.

Master Mengzhen sat cross-legged, scooped water into the clay pot, put the pot under the charcoal stove, and began to fan lightly. Seeing Duan Shaojun's arrival, Master Mengzhen smiled slightly. "Master and nephew, sit down for a while, and talk after the old man cooks tea."

Duan Shaojun nodded, sat opposite Master Mengzhen, and carefully watched Master Mengzhen's every move, as if they were as pleasing to the eye. Compared to the wine-boiling servant beside Cao Zhongde, just talking about posture and demeanor, Master Mengzhen doesn't know how many times it has exceeded.

In the distance, the bursts of Sanskrit sounds and the sound of the wind are calming. The little monk who accompanied Duan Shaojun here did not come close, but just sat cross-legged at the very edge of the grass pavilion, lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes, and chanted silently, while Master Mengzhen boiled water, washed the lamp, and then took out a dark brown hard lump, carefully grinded and poured it into the teacup, all of this was not a dummy's hand, as if all this was done at will.

I don't know how long it has been, Master Mengzhen poured the cooked tea into the porcelain bowl, stroked the snow-white long beard and smiled slightly at Duan Shaojun. "This is an old tea kneaded by old leaves, I'm afraid that you can't get used to drinking it with your nephew, especially less tea and more water, you can drink it, if you think it's too bitter, put it down."
