Daoist Abandoned Wisdom

Tao Xinian slept on the big soft bed, threw a few peanuts into his mouth, and felt quite happy.He ate well and lived well along the way, and happily, this place is very close to Luoyang.

Abo jumped up and down on the bed, saying: "This Liang Zhu is really a rich man, how rich! Whenever he goes out, he has to stay in the best hotel, and he has so many business friends for him to borrow. At this point, he changed the subject, "But... you have to be careful with him, I always think he has something up his sleeve!"

"He won't. I've seen it clearly in the past few days. He is a gentleman, so don't gossip behind his back." Tao Xinian opened a roll of piano score, which was Feng Qiuhuang copied from Yun Sheng.

He is not sure whether Liang Zhu is good or not Longyang, but he is really a well-educated person with a gentleman's demeanor.He is a businessman, dealing in calligraphy and paintings, which opened his eyes and saw many famous paintings and posters.Along the way, Liang Zhu covered his board and lodging, but he only occasionally played the piano and showed him calligraphy and painting. Where can I find such a good thing?It's hard to find even with a lantern on, it's much better than showing people a picture and copying scriptures!

"How many more days to Luoyang? How many days have we been away!"

After Tao Xinian finished eating the peanuts, he took a sip of tea and said, "We will arrive tomorrow evening, I heard from Liang Zhu today."

"You kept talking about preparing a gift for the great monk, what have you prepared?"

Tao Xinian pondered for a while, then said: "After much deliberation, I always feel that this is neither suitable nor good enough. I'll give him the jade pendant my father gave me."

"Wow, the ancestral jade pendant is going to be given away?"

"What kind of ancestral inheritance? It's just been passed down for two generations." Tao Xinian patted Abo, "Going to bed soon, and we have to hurry tomorrow."

Abo curled up the leaves on his head, curled up at the end of the bed, and soon fell asleep.Tao Xinian got up to wash up and opened the window.The sky is full of stars, and the weather will be sunny tomorrow.

As the sun set to the west, a carriage slowly drove into the city gate. Tao Xinian lifted the curtain and looked at the magnificent city gate.The people in the city come and go, and the hawkers shuttle back and forth to sell, which is a prosperous scene.The carriage moved forward for a while, and when it reached Lifang, the sound of silk and bamboo could be faintly heard.Liang Zhudao: "Tao Lang, this is Tunyinli, and after another mile, we will arrive at Lejinli, my home. Next to Lejinli is Luoyang City. It is still early and the market has not closed yet. Do you want to go to Tao Lang?" Walk around Luoyang Dashi? From Luoyang Dashi through Dahuoli, you can reach the White Horse Temple, which is near your friend's house."

"Okay, that's exactly what I mean." Luoyang Dashi, of course he has to take a walk.It's still early, he can pick some pastries from Luoyang City and take them to Yuan Yao's house along the way.

These days, I heard Liang Zhu say something about Luoyang City. The west of Luoyang City is the most prosperous, and the place near the palace city is the residence of the royal family, nobles and big bureaucrats of the Xianbei line.Those who are close to the big city of Luoyang are merchants.Liang Zhu's family lives in Lejinli, close to Luoyang Dashi, and is a standard merchant's home.However, Han officials and scholars mostly live in the east of the city, which is not as prosperous as the west of the city, and there is only a small city in Luoyang.

Liang Zhuxian handed over the goods carriage to the steward and took it back to Lejinli, and then accompanied Tao Xinian to visit Luoyang City.Passing through the two streets, the bustling atmosphere blows in your face.The shops are well planned and the crowds are constantly coming and going. Many Xianbei women are bargaining with the hawkers with their hands full of goods.

Tao Xinian walked around a few streets, and the things he bought in each street were different. He had just shopped in cloth, and then came to shop for ready-made clothes, and the street next door sold crock pots and iron pots and other household items, really everything you need.Before I knew it, more than an hour passed, and the sun was about to set.

Tao Xinian was carrying a few bags of pastries in his hand, and there was a vegetable market across the street. If he didn't buy vegetables, he didn't have to go shopping.If he went there, he might not be able to pull Huahua.

"Tao Lang, that friend of yours lives near the White Horse Temple. Could it be that he is a descendant of a high-ranking official?"

Tao Xinian smiled and said, "Yes, but we are not very close to Emperor Wei anymore."

The two walked through Dahuo Lane and walked towards the White Horse Temple.The bell sounded faintly, and the temple was full of incense.It was late, but the pilgrims were still coming and going.

Seeing that Liang Zhu had walked with him all afternoon but had no intention of going home, Tao Xinian had no choice but to say, "Liang Lang, thank you for taking care of me along the way. I really don't know how to thank you. You have already walked with me all afternoon, so there is no need to send me off." Yes. When I settle down, I will visit your house some other day."

Liang Zhu insisted: "Tao Lang, you are not familiar with the place where you live. Although you know where your friend's house is, you have never been there. I am very familiar with this area. I will send you there."

Tao Xinian didn't know how to refuse, so he had no choice but to thank Liang Zhu, and walked forward with Huahua.

"Further ahead, almost all the houses of the royal family are occupied. Which family is your friend?"

Just as Tao Xinian was about to answer, he looked up and saw a person wearing a light-colored cloth shirt, holding a fish in his left hand and a chicken in his right hand, and he happened to see himself.Under the setting sun, those light-colored eyes shone like amber.

Tao Xinian was overjoyed, left Liang Zhu behind and walked a few steps forward.I haven't seen him for twenty days, Yuan Yao's hair has grown a bit, and now he can tie it up.Why didn't he realize that Yuan Yao was born with such a symbol?Before that, I only thought that he was good-looking, and it was limited to good-looking.From the looks of it now, it's not enough for him to use all the praiseworthy words on him.

"You're here." The chicken in Yuan Yao's right hand suddenly struggled and thrashed, and he threw the chicken into the yard casually, freeing his hand to open the door.The chicken croaked a few times, but the sound was gone.

"Well, it rained on the road and delayed for a few days, otherwise we should have arrived two days earlier."

Tao Xinian smiled brightly, Yuan Yao opened the door, only to find that there was another person behind him when he turned around.

"Xiu Yuan, long time no see." Liang Zhu said with a smile, "It turns out that Tao Lang's friend is Xiu Yuan, what a coincidence."

"Huh? You guys know each other!" Tao Xinian looked at them in surprise, but Yuan Yao suddenly grabbed his wrist.

"Uncle."

Uncle?Tao Xinian's mind was in chaos.If Liang Zhu is Yuan Yao's uncle... Yuan Yao should be Liang Zhu's brother-in-law.In other words, it is Liang Zhu's younger sister who is engaged to Yuan Yao!Ah, what a coincidence.

"Our two families used to have family friends, but now we seldom communicate with each other. When you are free, bring your friend to my house for a sit-down. Jun Wan...she wants to see you. By the way, thank you so much I haven't mentioned the matter of retiring for many years, so Jun Wan hasn't been gossiped about. It's getting late, so I'll go back. Mr. Tao Lang, see you some other day."

Tao Xinian said goodbye to Liang Zhu, and Yuan Yao let go of his hand.Tao Xinian felt a little strange, why did he suddenly push so hard!

"Try not to see him alone in the future, he likes men." Yuan Yao said.After all, he took the flower and led it to the door.

Tao Xinian was shocked, but his expression was normal, after all, he had guessed it a long time ago, hehe.

He looked up at the plaque, and on it was written the words "Jingzhao Wangfu".After thinking about it, King Jingzhao should be Yuan Yao's dead father.He lifted his feet and entered the yard, where a lot of flowers and plants were planted, which were lush and lush.There is also an osmanthus tree in the courtyard, which grows huge. The osmanthus flowers are half in bloom, and the fragrance is tangy.But a few potted plants were placed in the corner and had died.He thinks that Yuan Yao often needs to travel far away, so he can't water in time.It's a pity to die.

Abo jumped out from Tao Xinian's chest, shook the leaves, and stretched his body.He looked at the courtyard with mung beans open, bounced around, and commented: "It's not bad, it's spacious enough!"

Yuan Yao took him to the room, which was about the same size as the one he had in the Taoist temple. There were not many things in the room, but they were neatly arranged.He put down the bamboo box, and Abo began to organize things.Yuan Yao went out to cook, and he felt very comfortable lying on the bed.finally reached!

"Master Dao, can I put your qin here for you? Put your clothes here..." Abo put the qin on the low table, then went to fold Tao Xinian's clothes and put them in the cabinet.

Tao Xinian stood up and said, "Just put it away, as long as I can find it. I'll go for a walk in the back yard, will you go?"

"Go, then I won't accept it."

Tao Xinian walked around the Jingzhao Palace, the house is a five-entry house, in addition to the courtyard behind the entrance and the courtyard where they live, there are three small courtyards at the back, but obviously no one has lived in it for a long time, only a few There is a big tree and some weeds, and the rooms are also locked.He only went back to the fourth entrance, and the gate was locked.It seems that even Yuan Yao seldom entered this last entry.

He wandered around inside, and as he walked, he came to the small ancestral hall where Yuan Yao's family placed ancestral tablets. Twenty years ago, Xiaowen hadn't been restructured, and the names on the tablet were still Tuoba's surname.Yuan Yao should have changed his surname from Yuan when he was a child. If he didn't change it, he should be called Tuoba Yao.

The ones far away are the ancestors of the Tuoba family, many of whom are well-known figures.Those placed closer to the incense candles are within three generations.Tao Xinian took a closer look and found that Yuan Yao's father was Tuoba Zitui, king of Jingzhao.I don't know if Yuan Yao has the possibility of attacking the noble.

"Xi Nian, the meal is ready."

Tao Xinian turned around, and Yuan Yao stood behind him.Abo was climbing a tree, and when he heard this, he slid down from the tree. It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time for his meal.

"Then let's go, I'm just hungry." He walked behind Yuan Yao, took a few steps, and asked curiously, "Xiu Yuan, do you have a title?"

Yuan Yao said: "I'm a concubine, so I can't inherit a title. But Empress Dowager Hu promised to give me a title. If there is no title, this house will return to the imperial court after a hundred years."

No wonder.No matter how rich and powerful the Liang family is, it is still a family of merchants. Yuan Yao's father should think carefully about getting engaged to him.

The autumn wind passed by, blowing down a few leaves, one of which fell on Tao Xinian's head, Yuan Yao reached out and took the leaf, saying: "My elder brother is the son of the eldest son, but he has already escaped into Buddhism, so this house is left to me. "He said again, "I still have to go to Liang Zhu's place. After two days, you have a rest, and we will go together."

Tao Xinian nodded with a smile.
