Chapter 260: Erlang is so caring
In the temple, on the edge of the pond, a man and a woman walk side by side.
The man is handsome, with a black gauze hat on his head and a light green official robe, and he is handsome.
The woman's appearance is beautiful, her hair is combed in a bun, she is wearing a pomegranate skirt, and the country is fragrant.
It's Cui Geng and Lu Ruolan!
"Cui County Order, the concubine's tea art today, can you still see it?"
"Nice, very good,"
"Is there a fly in the ointment?"
It is rare to have the opportunity to pretend to be forced in front of beautiful women, and Cui Geng will certainly not miss this opportunity to show off his dream knowledge. He pondered for a moment and said, "It's not a deficiency, it's just that the official has a shallow opinion." In the future, when Lu Xiaoniangzi senchates, can you try not to put things like green onions, ginger and peppercorns? β
"Huh? Why? Without these things, can it still be called tea? β
Cui Gengdao: "The so-called tea tasting is nothing more than tasting water and tea. After adding those messy condiments, it hides its true taste. Therefore, this kind of tea without any condiments is called real tea. As for the tea that people drink now? Hmph, at best, it's just tea porridge. β
"Real tea? Tea porridge? After hearing this, Lu Ruolan thought for a moment and said, "It seems that there is some truth in what you said, try it another day as a concubine." β
Later, she asked: "Cui Xianling can not only judge the case clearly, but also make sugar frosting, understand how well water becomes mountain spring water, and even have a lot of research on the tea ceremony...... I heard that you used to sell alcohol for a living, how could you know so many things? β
Of course, Cui Geng can't say that his buddy had a ridiculous dream, and his soul has been worn in his dream for more than a thousand years, and these things that he understands a little bit of understanding are all seen and learned in his dreams. Otherwise, as soon as these words came out, it would be strange that Lu Ruolan didn't treat him as a madman. When these words are spoken, either no one believes them, or they are afraid that people will investigate deeply. When the time comes, Wu Zetian will write an edict and ask, how many years do you think I can live? How many generations can I pass on to the Great Zhou Dynasty? Isn't this a rush to send someone's head?
Immediately, he said perfunctorily: "Hey, I'm a person who loves to ponder on weekdays, and I just have occasional gains." β
"Pondering?" Lu Ruolan's eyes fluttered, smiled, and said, "Is it one person pondering, or is it two people pondering together?" For example...... Jufenglong's big shopkeeper Cao Yuechan? β
Cui Geng shook his head, told the truth, and said, "Cao Yuechan? It doesn't have much to do with her. β
"Really? But how did the concubine hear that she was Cui Xianling's fiancΓ©e? β
"Huh? Oh, hehe~"
Regarding this matter, Cui Geng was also a lawsuit, and said with a wry smile: "To be honest, whether Yuechan is the fiancΓ©e of this county or not, I can't figure it out myself." β
He didn't hide it, and briefly told him about his relationship with Cao Yuechan.
In short, in short, say that you are a hot shaved head, right? That's certainly not right. But if you want to say how sincere Cao Yuechan is about this specious marriage, right? I really can't see it.
As soon as he finished speaking, he listened to Lu Ruolan pop out of his mouth for a long time: "Cheap ~ people!" β
"Ouch, I'm going to ~ who are you scolding?"
"Of course it's Cao Yuechan." Lu Ruolan looked disgusted, and said: "The concubine thinks that marriage is a major event, but it is not that she can't consider it carefully. But you Cui Cao and the two families have been for so long, and besides, who are you in Cui County, she Cao Yuechan should have been clear a long time ago. Achievement is success, and failure is failure. What is a two-year covenant? According to the concubine's body, this woman is shrewd in calculation, and the city is very deep, and she is clearly wishful thinking of riding a donkey to find a horse. I scolded her for being cheap~ people, it's not an exaggeration! β
"Haha, Little Lady Lu is really a good mouth."
Cui Geng couldn't help laughing and defended Cao Yuechan, "Don't think so badly of Yuechan, she is different from ordinary women." She is career-oriented, and she doesn't want to talk about marriage for the time being. And as far as I know, in Qingyuan County or even Quanzhou Mansion, I haven't heard of her pretending to any man. You misunderstand her! β
"Hmph, that's what she covered up well!" Lu Ruolan asked rhetorically: "She is not Her Majesty the Empress today, for the women of ordinary people's families, what is more important in this world than a husband and children?" Erlang, don't be deceived by her, the more women who can pretend to be like this, the more cheap ~ people. β
The more Lu Ruolan spoke, the more excited she became, and inadvertently, in the end, she changed Cui Geng's title from Cui County Order to Erlang.
However, this subtle change was still noticed by Cui Geng.
What makes Cui Geng even more puzzled is that he doesn't have any friendship with Lu Ruolan, a little girl, why does she keep thinking about problems from her own side? Even more radical and excited than his own bitter master?
Looking up at the beautiful women walking side by side beside him, a warm spring breeze passed at the right time, and Cui Geng looked at Lu Ruolan in a trance.
Lu Ruolan was a little uncomfortable stared at by his strange eyes, lowered her head quite crampedly, and said, "Erlang, what are you looking at?" Concubinage...... Is there anything wrong? β
"Huh?"
On the ground, she screamed, and was extremely nervous to pull the silk blown away by the breeze back to her, her pretty face was slightly red, and she was ashamed and annoyed: "Yes, the concubine's body is not plump enough, and you can see it, but so what? β
Cui Geng: "......"
This little girl's brain hole is really big enough, this can be connected, Cui Genghao laughed out loud.
However, when Lu Ruolan said this, he paid attention to the other party's figure, although Lu Ruolan's figure can be called perfect, but people's aesthetics are fat these days, and her figure is a little too thin. Especially after wearing a chest-length pomegranate skirt, the shortcomings of not being big enough in a certain place are particularly eye-catching and conspicuous.
Originally, I thought she deliberately made a big water-red silk and draped it over her shoulders to look girly and playful. Unexpectedly, people are trying to cover up this flaw that is not a flaw.
It was such a coincidence, when she looked up at her, a breeze happened to blow, blowing the silk aside, so that Lu Ruolan misunderstood herself.
But it's good to talk to a woman who loves beauty about messing up her figure, Cui Geng hasn't died like this yet!
He hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Little Lady Lu has something to do." Just...... The official suddenly thought of an official business, so he was distracted. β
Lu Ruolan said suspiciously: "Didn't lie? β
"What are you lying about? Cui is also a six-grade official, and he is the official of his parents in charge of Jiangdu, so he can still lie to you for this little thing? Besides, the figure of the little lady Lu, such a look, it is definitely one in a hundred, oh no, a great beauty in a hundred miles, this is hundreds of miles, and the official really can't think of anyone who can compare with the little lady. "Okay, Cui Daxian ordered Kouhuahua's mouth to owe something wrong, and he committed it again.
"If you want to be a concubine, you can believe it... Hmm..."Lu Ruolan Xiafei cheeks and twisted softly: "Since Cui County has made the Nu family one of the best in a million, it is better to give a poem to the slave family according to the situation and give it to the slave family!" β
It's really a debt to the world, and there is no cock to talk about!
Cui Geng's intestines suddenly repented, he can only copy poems, where can he compose poems? And it is also a very difficult poem for the situation.
Looking at the peerless delicate face in front of him, he was so excited for a while that he couldn't think of any suitable poems.
It's embarrassing.
However, this does not mean that he has no choice, although he can't do poetry at this time, but soon, something quickly floated in his mind.
He immediately laughed to resolve the embarrassment and said, "What kind of poem to send, how old-fashioned is that?" Special people need special gifts. In this way, the county will send the little lady the same better thing, and you will be satisfied. β
"What to send?" Lu Ruolan is looking forward to it.
"I don't have this thing ready-made, I'll send someone to send it to you another day. By the way, you still live in that Fusheng Mansion store, right? β
After Lu Ruolan said "um", she frowned suddenly, as if she remembered something important, and hurriedly said: "The concubine suddenly remembered that there were other things, so she took her leave first." β
Immediately a slight blessing, the lotus step left.
This unprovoked, why did he leave in a hurry?
Cui Geng was confused, looked at Lu Ruolan's distant back, and couldn't help complaining: "Sister, I went out with her for a walk around the pond, and I looked at the weeping willows by the pond for a while, and in the end I didn't talk about anything serious?" β
In the end, he also departed.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Three days later, Fuxindi store.
A woman in her forties wrapped a blue cloth and handed it to Lu Ruolan with her own hands, and explained softly the use of such things in the package.
After hearing this, Lu Ruolan's face was blue for a while, red for a while, and yellow for a while, and it became a kaleidoscope.
After a long time, she bit her silver teeth lightly, and asked in an urn voice: "Is this thing really given to me by Cui County?" β
"Yes, Lu Ruolan from Fuxindi store, you can't be wrong." The woman babbled and said, "Little lady, is this almost over?" Being able to marry such a wishful man as Cui County, I really don't know if it is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes. Look at such a thing sent by Cui County, how painful and intimate it is. β
Lu Ruolan's willow eyebrows were upside down, and her apricot eyes widened, and she said viciously: "What is the door?" We haven't even decided on a kiss! Phew, what a marriage! This girl has nothing to do with him! β
"Then how can the Cui County Order send you this?"
Only then did the woman realize that the atmosphere at the scene was a little wrong, and hurriedly said, "If the little lady has no instructions, the old woman will retire." β
Subsequently, he retreated in a hurry.
Lu Ruolan didn't care about the woman, she opened the burden and gestured left and right with that thing, "It's really useful, wear it tomorrow and try it, this Cui Erlang is intimate and understands women's thoughts." β
After a while, she said again: "Phew! Big color ~ wolf! Lecher! Big pervert! It's okay to figure out what the girl's house is doing? β
After a while, she was worried: "Why did he give me this thing on purpose, it can't be ...... I really hate me...... Small, right? β
What did Cui Geng give Lu Ruolan?
The name of this thing is called Hezi, and it is made of a fabric called "weaving". This fabric, structured and thick, full of elasticity, is really the best raw material for bras in ancient times.
That's right, the so-called "Hezi" is the Datang version of the magic bra. According to the normal development of the historical trajectory, this thing should have been invented a few decades later by Yang Guifei, who was captivating the country and the city.
Three days ago, by the pond of the Panruo Temple, Cui Geng was forced by Lu Ruolan to compose a poem, and then looked at her peaceful figure, and remembered the beauty of this thing for no reason.
On the one hand, this is indeed what Lu Ruolan urgently needs, and on the other hand, it is true that there is no good intention.
Whether it is an enemy or not, when a man sees a beautiful woman, how can he not want to laugh at him?
β¦β¦
At this time, the county government house.
"Hahaha!"
Cui Geng imagined that after Lu Ruolan received the hezi, she looked ashamed and annoyed, and couldn't help laughing.
"Cui Xianling is in a good mood, but I'm worried about the little monk."
The curtain was raised, and the little monk Huiming walked in with a sad brow, followed by Song Genhai.
Damn, it's Song Genhai who took someone to break into his inner house without being informed.
"What? Little monk, you have a pure heart and few desires, and you have no desires, what other troubles can you encounter? Cui Geng said yes.
Huiming touched his bare head with his hand, sighed, and said, "Alas, it's not your Cui County Order." As we said before, you secretly helped us Southern Zen to deal with Northern Zen. It's good now, if you don't fulfill your promise, why do you still help Northern Zen to deal with our Southern Zen Sect? β
"? I didn't do that! Cui Geng swore that there really wasn't.
"That doesn't help? So what's going on with Lingquan moving? But don't say it, it's not about you. β
"Uh, that's what happened? No...... It's related, but the official couldn't help it at the time. The demolition plan has to be done by this means! β
Immediately, Cui Geng explained everything that happened in the temple three days ago in detail.
After hearing this, the little monk Huiming had a bitter face and said depressedly: "Anyway, you have done the Northern Zen Sect a great favor." Just because of this matter, it can make our Southern Zen Buddhism suffer. Now that he is in big trouble, Cui County Ling can't ignore it! β
Cui Geng listened to the tone of the little monk's words, and he was also irritable, when did he get involved in the war between the north and the south of Zen Buddhism? He immediately asked, "What happened to your Southern Zen sect?" β
"That's ......"
It turned out that Monk Huiming had not been idle since he arrived in Yangzhou. He not only helped Cui Geng persuade the Gong family, but even persuaded a temple called Horenji Temple, which was originally under the banner of Northern Zen Buddhism, to accept the teachings of Southern Zen Buddhism.
Can make the temple of Northern Zen Buddhism change to Southern Zen Buddhism, the little monk This is a great handiwork, well, political significance, no, it should be Buddhism is still of great significance.
This is definitely not a trivial matter for Zen Buddhism in both the north and the south.
For this reason, the temple, called Horenji, is preparing to hold a grand temple fair on February 19, 20, and 21 to celebrate this event.
The glory of Southern Zen Buddhism must be the shame of Northern Zen Buddhism.
Therefore, this is a great shame for Northern Zen Buddhism.
So, on the one hand, they mobilized their followers not to participate in the temple fairs of Southern Zen Buddhism. On the other hand, the temples on the Northern Zen side also organized a grand temple fair to attract a group of neutral pilgrims.
Originally, these tricks launched by the Northern Zen Sect, the little monk Huiming could still withstand it. However, two days ago, the Pranya Temple under the command of the Northern Zen Buddhism suddenly announced that it would use the treasures given by the Buddha to make spiritual spring water on the spot for everyone to drink.
This is the big news of the explosion in the sky, and it spread in Yangzhou for a while.
As soon as the little monk Huiming received the news, he knew that he could meet the hard stubble of Northern Zen Buddhism. He investigated more carefully in private, and sure enough, most of the pilgrims were already ready to participate in the temple fair of Northern Zen Buddhism.
He really couldn't deal with it, so he had to come to Cui Geng, the initiator of the spiritual spring water, to settle the score.
After Cui Geng heard the ins and outs of the whole matter, he held his cheeks and groaned slightly, and asked the little monk: "So...... Do you want the official to think of a way to attract all the pilgrims and people of their temple fair to the Lotus Temple under your Southern Zen Buddhism? β
