Chapter 84: Sit, please sit, please sit up

What else can Lin Daiyu say? Seeing Wang Xiao outline her face on white paper with his own eyes, she had no idea except shock and joy.

"Good girl, are you still angry?"

Lin Daiyu slowly shook her head with her eyelids down.

Wang Xiao saw Zijuan standing there in a daze and asked, "Is breakfast here?"

Zijuan was still shocked and looked at the painting on the table without saying a word.

Wang Xiao was not angry either, so he turned around and went to the outer hall to have porridge and snacks.

"Miss." Zijuan, who came to her senses, had the first priority to care about her own lady.

Looking at Lin Daiyu's trance painting, the white hair sweat on Zijuan's forehead came out. She didn't care about any magnanimity, and leaned over and whispered in Lin Daiyu's ear, "Think about Er Nainai, think about our ancestors, think about Baoyu!"

They live together all year round, and are called master and servant, but they are actually sisters.

Lin Ruhai didn't even understand Lin Daiyu. Seeing that her expression was obviously about to move, it was going to happen.

Lin Daiyu put away the painting in annoyance, "I know!"

It is no exaggeration to say that in Dream of Red Mansions, the male members of the Jia family are all trash.

Although Jia Lan is studious, she is a nerd. Jia Zheng seems to be upright, but in fact he is a false and serious person.

As for the others, it was worse than the other one.

Among them, Dabao Face can be regarded as the dogtail grass in the mud pond, which can attract many women to get close to him.

There is no way, the others are so bad.

However, the most terrifying thing in this world is the comparison.

Wang Xiao, who had been rolling in the mud pond before, suddenly seemed to have changed his personality.

Not only is he talented and intelligent, but his character is completely different from before.

If it were just like this, Lin Meimei would not be easily shaken. She is not a girl who can be easily impressed.

But Wang Xiao saved her father's life and avenged her mother and brother. With this kind of kindness added, Lin Meimei couldn't bear it anymore.

It is precisely because Zijuan knows this that she is so nervous.

Lin Daiyu turned around silently, "You don't need to say anything, I know everything. Only during this time in Yangzhou City, good sister, please help me."

Zijuan really wanted to tell her lady, "If you really get stuck in it, you will definitely be able to kill even if you leave Yangzhou City!"

Just looking at Lin Daiyu's sadness, she couldn't say anything. She could only hope that she would forget each other after leaving Yangzhou City.

After breakfast, Wang Xiao found a storybook in Lin Daiyu's study and read it.

"Why are the second brother not going out for social events today?" Lin Daiyu, holding a handkerchief, walked over curiously.

"Jiang Chun's family has been killed, and the uncle's affairs are about to come to an end." Wang Xiao flipped through the book with relish. "I went to socialites to stabilize other salt merchants and let them know that this time the matter is only for the Jiang family. It is no longer necessary."

A smile appeared in Lin Daiyu's eyes, "Well, the second brother accompanied me to the temple to burn incense?"

Wang Xiao closed the book and looked at her, "I forgot that I was assassinated when I went to Fengxiang last time? What if there were remnants of the Jiang family outside?"

Lin Daiyu's eyes were soft, "Second brother will protect me."

Wang Xiao smiled and stood up, "Just say this to you, I have to go today. I'll go back and change my clothes."

Lin Daiyu looked at Wang Xiao's departure back silently. Zijuan beside her was already in a state of tranquility when she saw this scene, and her face was as expressionless as a girl without any words.

He changed into a long moon-white gown and held a folding fan in his hand. Wang Xiao's agile and turned over horse attracted the servants around him to cheer.

When he was in the world of Ming Dynasty, he often changed his clothes and went out for fun. His outstanding demeanor made countless young ladies blush.

Wang Xiao took his servants and saltmen to guard Lin Daiyu's carriage and went all the way to the famous Dongsheng Temple outside the city for a trip.

He had no interest in temples and was a staunch atheist.

Even a wishing system that can travel through countless time and space is just a technology that transcends imagination in Wang Xiao's eyes.

He would not treat the system as a god, but would only think it was some kind of super technology. He was determined to crack the secrets of the system and completely controlled this system that was extremely attractive to him.

Lin Daiyu went to the hall to burn incense, while Wang Xiao was reading Buddhist scriptures in the clean room of the Zen room.

After staying in the Ming Dynasty for so long, Wang Xiao developed a habit of reading books.

No matter what the senses are, reading more and remembering more is not a bad thing.

After reading a scripture, Wang Xiao was bored and wandering around the Zen room.

"No wonder the ancients like to stay in temples. In addition to not being able to eat meat or drink wine, the environment here is ten thousand times better than those in the Datongpu Inns full of flea parasites."

It was not easy for people in ancient times to go out.

When you arrive in a place, if you have no relatives and friends to seek refuge, you can only live in an inn.

The inns in film and television dramas are always very clean, whether they are frugal or luxurious. However, in reality, the inns are covered with straw on the Datong bed and let you sleep.

In winter, it is ragged and exposed everywhere, and the quilt that is so dirty that it is dark and shiny that it covers you.

Under this environment, it is a paradise for parasites and skin diseases.

As for the so-called housekeeping, let’s not talk about whether there is one or not. Even if there are one, the price is definitely not affordable for ordinary people.

Wang Xiao went from Cangzhou to Quanzhou Prefecture in the world of Swordsmanship. At the beginning, he stayed at the inn, but was bitten by fleas and reptiles in just one night.

After that, he would go to the inn to stay wherever he stayed. Most of the hundreds of taels of silver he brought was spent on accommodation. He had definitely had personal experience of this.

The temples are very rich. In addition to the donations of believers, they also have a large amount of land and tenants who cultivate.

Otherwise, those who knock on wooden fish and recite scriptures all day long would not have to give birth, and they would have starved to death.

In addition to building the main hall, casting large bells, and pasting Buddha statues with gold and powder, the temple invests a lot in its own living environment.

The room was clean and tidy when staying, the bedding and other things were brand new, and even incense was lit.

There are exquisite vegetarian dishes when eating, and some dishes taste almost the same as meat.

In addition, the environment is quiet and undisturbed, it is definitely an excellent place to stay outside.

Lin Daiyu finally came over after sautumn. Seeing her smiling face, Wang Xiao joked, "What prompt did the Buddha show up to you? He smiled like a flower."

Lin Meimei subconsciously raised her hand to touch her face, and then realized that Wang Xiao was teasing herself.

"I won't tell you."

Before, Lin Meimei, who was depressed and irritated, went to ask for a sign after burning incense, but she didn't expect to shake out one to put it on.

The person who explained the signing said that her good luck was coming, and the good things were approaching Yunyun, which made her blush but secretly happy.

Wang Xiao had seen temple signatures, and in his opinion, this was actually more like the ancestor of psychology.

The sign-in person will choose what to say based on your status. To put it bluntly, what they say is what you want to hear in your subconscious mind. Whether it is a good sign or a bad sign, the difference is not big.

Sister Lin looked at the Zen room and the layout was very clean and elegant, and the snacks on the table looked delicious. This is a place that specializes in entertaining officials and nobles.

“No tea?”

Wang Xiao took the teapot over to the table and put it on the table while drinking it while reading the scriptures. He had long been drunk.

Fortunately, the temple was prepared very well, and soon a monk of a high level brought new tea.

Lin Daiyu took a sip of tea, but saw Wang Xiao sitting aside and laughing. She asked curiously, "Why are you laughing?"

"I have a story about drinking tea in a temple. Do you want to hear it?"

For Lin Daiyu, who basically never goes out of the door, she likes the story the most.

"That's right, Su Dongpo was in Hangzhou that year. He had nothing to do and did not wear official uniforms, so he went to a temple for a trip. When he entered the temple, he did not report his name, and he did not wear ordinary clothes or jade pendants. The abbot only thought he was an ordinary tourist."

Wang Xiao picked up the tea bowl and drank it in one breath, and then said, "When we met, the abbot sat in his position and did not move, but just raised his hand and pointed at Su Dongpo to signal the little monk to 'Sit, tea.'"

Lin Daiyu's interest has been aroused, and her big flashing eyes looked at Wang Xiao, waiting for the next story.

"Su Dongcheng was a little unhappy when he saw the abbot being so slow, so he wanted to tease the monk who was trying to win people with his clothes. So he ordered the young monk standing aside to 'get the good book' to give some incense money."

"Yeah." Lin Meimei responded twice, waiting for Wang Xiao to continue talking. Even Zijuan, who was serving on the side, was attracted by the story.

"Su Dongpo wrote down the incense money of 100 guan in front of the abbot. The abbot immediately stood up happily and said, 'Please sit' and ordered the young monk to 'give tea.'"

Lin Meimei was a little disliked, "A man who was attracted by the flames, but there was nothing funny."

Wang Xiao poured her a cup of tea, "Don't be anxious, there is still something behind."

This time, Wang Xiao finished speaking in one breath, "Su Dongpo signed his signature on the book "Dongcheng layman Su Shi" with a pen. The abbot was frightened. He didn't expect that the person who came was Su Shi, a great scholar from all over the world. He bowed to Su Shi with a smile on his face and said, "Please sit down." He hurriedly ordered the young monk to 'send good tea.'"

"Su Dongpo was the emperor superstar of that era. Countless people asked him for a word but could not get it. The abbot took the opportunity to ask Su Dongpo to leave a word. Su Dongpo agreed and wrote a couplet."

Speaking of this, Lin Daiyu suddenly interrupted, "The first couplet is to sit, please sit, please sit. The second couplet is tea, tea, and good tea."

Wang Xiao was really surprised now, "Have you heard of this story?"

It’s impossible. This is clearly a joke from the modern world. Is Lin Meimei also a time and space traveler?

Lin Meimei covered her mouth and chuckled, "Your story is said."

"The girl is really smart." Wang Xiao gave a thumbs up and praised.

Although I don’t know what Wang Xiao’s thumbs up, I also know that this is praising himself.

Zijuan, who was standing beside her, looked at the two of them chatting and chatting, and looked at her lady's rare smile, and she no longer had the intention to persuade her.

Anyway, it's useless to say it. Just do whatever you like.

I had a wonderful vegetarian meal in the temple. On the way back to the Salt Administration Office, Lin Meimei said she wanted to learn swords with Wang Xiao in the afternoon.

“I have a more interesting activity, I don’t know if you are interested.”

Wang Xiao's words made Lin Daiyu very curious about "What activity?"
