Chapter 417 Can the Ninth-Grade Lotus Platform Be Planted? [Seeking Monthly Votes]
"Your Majesty!"
In the Weiyang Palace, Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan, Xu Shu, Pang Tong, Shi Tao, Cui Zhouping and others saluted Liu Xie together.
Before coming, they wanted to maintain the nobleness and indifference to fame and fortune of the gentry in front of the emperor, but what they saw and heard along the way was so shocking that everyone had a lot of feelings to express.
Although Liu Xie was young, he had experienced too many big scenes after all, and his ability to control the situation had already reached the maximum level:
"Your names have long been spread throughout the counties of Guanzhong. Now you have come all the way here, and I am very pleased... The next room has prepared wine and food to welcome you!"
First express welcome, then start eating directly.
Instead of standing there and chatting, it is better to sit at the table and eat and chat. After two glasses of wine, the topic will naturally come up.
For this meal, Liu Xie went to the real world and took some stewed food. Li Yu also stewed a full pot of Dongpo pork in a casserole. Everyone took a spoon and I took a chopstick. I guarantee that you will be addicted after eating it.
They thought that His Majesty was just summoning them, but they didn't expect that there would be a welcoming banquet. Pang Degong and others were overjoyed.
Along the way, they were taken care of by the garrisons everywhere, but after all, they were exhausted from the journey. Now that they arrived in Chang'an, they really wanted to have a good meal and drink two glasses of wine to relieve their fatigue.
In order to prevent a dull moment, the contemporary great scholar, the commander of the garrison, and the general of the guard, Lu Zhi, also attended.
If Pang Degong and others discussed topics related to the meaning of the classics, then Lu Zhi, the great scholar responsible for interpreting the meaning of the classics, could talk about it.
In addition, with Lu Zhi, the cultural people present had to restrain themselves no matter how bad their personalities were.
Cai Yong has always been a good man with no temper, but Lu Zhi, one of the three heroes of the late Han Dynasty, was not only a great scholar, but also a great general, and he achieved the ultimate in both civil and military affairs.
Led by Dian Wei, the group came to the restaurant specially opened in Weiyang Palace.
As soon as they entered, Pang Degong and others hesitated.
The restaurant did not have the common dining system of the Han people, nor did it have couches. There was only a large vermilion round table surrounded by a circle of high-backed chairs.
In the middle of the table, there was a huge round glass that looked shiny.
"This table was given by my master. He lives in another world. These walkie-talkies, drones, flashlights, and the gifts in everyone's hands were all given by my master."
Huang Chengyan came to the table and carefully touched the glass turntable:
"It's so cold and so transparent. Is it jade?"
"This thing is glass... It can be turned to make it convenient for guests to pick up food."
After Cheng Lian introduced it, he gently turned it. The glass turntable rotated steadily, which dazzled Huang Chengyan and he wanted to take it apart for research.
Soon, one dish after another was served on the table, and there were also several bottles of Fenjiu.
At the beginning, it is not suitable to drink liquor with too high a degree. First use Fenjiu with a slightly lower degree to make a transition, so that everyone will not learn from Zhang He and slip under the table after taking a sip.
Cheng Lian took out a set of glass wine utensils, opened a bottle of wine, and began to pour wine for everyone.
Pang Tong smelled the aroma of wine and was somewhat excited, but he was too young and could only drink orange juice... Xu Shu, who was already 18 years old, drank white wine.
Pang Degong lowered his head and smelled the aroma of wine from the cup, and looked at Huang Chengyan, both of them were a little overjoyed.
They often drank wine in private, but they had never drunk such a mellow wine. It felt like they were drunk before they drank.
After the adults and children's drinks were all filled, Liu Xie raised his glass, said some welcoming words, drank a sip of orange juice, and started to eat.
Cai Yong was a good man, and reminded Pang Degong and others:
"This wine is spicy, you need to drink it slowly in small sips to taste it... There are also meals arranged at the posthouse, don't worry, I will never let the family members go hungry."
Since it was inconvenient for the female family members to come to the palace, Liu Xie specially arranged some sweet dishes.
At this time, Huang Yueying was eating sweet and sour meat in the room, and she felt that this sweet and sour meat was too delicious.
Cai Yan also came with Sun Facai to express her goodwill to Huang Yueying and gave her some clothes, soap and other daily necessities.
When leaving, Sun Facai supported Cai Yan and sighed:
"I was deceived by the history books. They all said that Huang Yueying was an ugly woman with dark skin and yellow hair. When I came here, I wanted to speak up for Brother Liang. I didn't expect that she was so beautiful, just a little worse than you, my wife."
Cai Yan listened to her husband's sweet words and couldn't help laughing:
"Huang Chengyan must be modest. He was born in Jiangxia Huang and married the legitimate daughter of Xiangyang Cai. How ugly could his daughter be?"
Sun Facai nodded:
"That's true, that's right. Like our child, whether he inherits my handsome face or your beautiful face, he will not be too bad... Wife, don't laugh so hard, give me some face. "
Cai Yan held her belly and laughed and said:
"I like your thick skin... There is a banquet in the palace, don't you want to go and see it?"
"My father and Uncle Lu are here, so I won't go and embarrass myself. Accompanying my wife is the most important thing!"
When they came to the outside of the posthouse, Sun Facai carefully helped Cai Yan get on a modified sightseeing car, then inserted the car key and drove slowly to Cai Mansion.
Recently, the family has more people, and the house is a little small. Guo Jia, who moved next to Cai Mansion, deliberately gave up part of the yard, so that the original three-courtyard Cai Mansion became five-courtyard.
After returning home, Sun Facai asked the maid and two concubines to take good care of Cai Yan, and then said:
"There is something going on in the research institute, I will go to deal with it, and by the way, see if my father will drink too much. "
Cai Yan smiled and nodded:
"Husband, you've taken the trouble."
After Sun Facai left with the car keys, the two concubines were about to get some fruit for snacks when Cai Yan suddenly said:
"When your husband comes back in the evening, you should go over and hug him tightly as soon as possible. If he is nervous, just say something obedient and comfort him... I am inconvenienced, so it's all up to you."
A concubine asked:
"Sister, what did the master do?"
"kill!"
When the two concubines heard this, they didn't dare to ask any more questions. They served Cai Yan carefully, for fear that the mistress might have fetal force.
On the other side, Sun Facai drove a sightseeing car all the way to the Secrecy Bureau.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Ma Dai greeted him:
"Everything has been arranged. Director Guo is in the basement... Dean Sun, are you really planning to do it yourself?"
"Nonsense, if someone bullies my wife, can I just watch?"
Ma Dai originally wanted to give a few more words of advice, but after hearing this, he didn't say anything more. Instead, he asked someone to prepare a firecracker:
"Put it away later when Dean Sun goes out to get rid of bad luck."
"Thank you for taking care of the little sack!"
Ma Dai: "..."
Could you please stop calling me wrong on purpose? What a wonderful name I have, but you called it a sack of paper.
The two of them entered the Secrecy Bureau together, and soon came to a secret room.
Guo Jia was guarding the door. When he saw Sun Facai coming, he took the initiative to hand over a piece of Xiaosu:
"We've already asked those who need to be interrogated. You can do whatever you want... It's easy to vomit when you see blood for the first time. Are you ready?"
Sun Facai lit up his cigarette and took a puff:
"My father-in-law is old, my wife is pregnant, and we are in such troubled times. No matter how much I resist, I have to accept it. I can't let Brother Yu take care of me for the rest of my life, right?"
After saying that, he put out the cigarette he had taken and walked into the secret room.
Half an hour later, Sun Facai walked out covered in blood and came to the courtyard of the Secrecy Bureau.
He first basked in the sun for a while, then lit the cigarette that had been extinguished for a long time, took a deep breath, and then spat out his lunch with a loud sound.
Guo Jia brought him a cup of tea to rinse his mouth:
"How's it going? Are you getting used to it?"
"Let's make it okay, there is a first time for everything... The first time I went to Langtaosha for shopping, I lay there and didn't dare to move. The technician pinched my feet and I felt itchy, and pinched my legs and it hurt. He lay in my arms and picked ears. My body It was harder than the prefabricated boards. In order to relax my body, the technician suggested that I add an extra hour... From then on, I opened the door to a new world. "
Guo Jia lit up a cigarette and took a puff:
"Is it too late for me to change my job and become a historian? Recording these words will definitely surprise historians thousands of years later."
"Pull it down, you ancient people had such a good time. It's the first time I know that I can still call the maid to come in and push my back when I have no strength. I can't even look at the word pushing my back... Damn it, my little red flower. , I have been defiled by you!"
After smoking a cigarette, Guo Jia asked:
"Are you feeling better?"
"Much better, thank you, brother...smove less, and don't die in your thirties like in history. I'm still waiting to see you with a head of silver hair, a pear blossom crushing a begonia."
"Don't worry, it's fine!"
Sun Facai rinsed his mouth, changed his clothes, and made sure that there was no smoke smell anymore. When he came to the door, Ma Dai set off a bunch of firecrackers to remove bad luck... He just got rid of the smell of smoke, but he was covered in gunpowder smoke again. Taste.
In order to get rid of the smell, Sun Facai went to the palace and went to the post house to chat with Xu Shu for a while. He met the legendary Feng Chu and warmly gave him some greeting gifts.
In the evening, Sun Facai felt that the smell on his body had almost dissipated, and then returned home under the setting sun.
As soon as he entered the door, two concubines rushed over to him, acting coquettishly, which made Sun Facai a little uncomfortable.
He finally sent the two of them away, and then Cai Yan came over, leaned against Sun Facai and said softly:
"Thank you husband for venting your anger on me."
"You're welcome. After all, I am the head of the family...Hey, so you know about this?!"
In the real world, Li Yu finished breakfast and learned about these things in front of the statue, and said with some sigh:
"In the past, people who didn't even dare to kill chickens, but in troubled times, took the initiative to kill people to practice courage... They are really people who have transformed the environment."
The empress really likes Sun Facai’s bravery:
"A man who has the courage to take on family responsibilities and protect his family to the greatest extent is worthy of praise at any time... When his child is born, I will give him my blessing."
With these words from the empress, Sun Facai's children will definitely have smooth sailing in the future.
After caring about the development of the world in the book, the empress remembered her two daughters-in-law who were traveling:
"They won't be in danger there, right?"
Li Yu said:
"Mom, don't worry. Tongtong has the good luck cat's pendant, and Xiaochan is still a believer in the good luck cat, so nothing will happen to her."
He showed his old mother a circle of friends between them, then left the scenic spot, drove to buy groceries, and picked up Zhou Ruotong's express delivery from the northwest.
"Wow, this raisin is really bigger than your thumb!"
When unpacking the express, Mu Guiying came over and grabbed a handful without any explanation and prepared to devour it.
Li Yu said:
"Wash and then eat... Whatever you want to eat for lunch, I'll make it for you."
"Lotus Leaf Pork Ribs! I watched Midnight Food last night and thought the Lotus Leaf Pork Ribs had a refreshing feel and was more suitable for me."
"Okay, I'll go to the river later and pick some lotus leaves."
"No problem~"
The girl spoke in unstandard Cantonese, washed a handful of raisins, and ate them while walking towards the river. Soon, she came over with a few green lotus leaves and a pink lotus in her other hand.
After Li Yu marinated the ribs, Mu Guiying held up the lotus and asked:
"If the nine-grade lotus platform of Buddhism is brought to the real world, can it grow back to the twelve-grade lotus platform?"
Li Yu pondered for a moment, shook his head and said:
"It is highly unlikely, because in the botany of the real world, the broken lotus pod cannot be restored. Maybe taking a lotus seed and planting it, growing it into a lotus pod again and sending it over, will have unexpected effects."
The peach tree in the underworld can be resurrected by sending a tender bud, and then being carefully cultivated by my mother... If the nine-grade lotus platform wants to grow again, it can only dig out the lotus seeds inside and plant them in the real world.
But the lotus platform is the foundation of Buddhism. If you rashly dig out the lotus seeds, it may cause some bad trouble.
For example, Buddhism is divided into pieces, or there are many branches like Christianity.
Before you are sure, don't think about it.
Worried that there is not enough lotus leaf ribs to eat, Li Yu chopped two chickens and marinated them. Steam some lotus leaf chicken at noon to make everyone full, and send some to the old mother.
Mu Guiying didn't stay in the real world for long, and went to Mu Ke Village with lotus flowers.
As soon as she left, Yue Fei came and brought a tall and handsome white horse. It was as big as Red Rabbit and Hunhong Beast, strong and broad back, and it was a BMW at first glance.
Li Yu asked:
"Is this the horse that your father-in-law hasn't sold for two years?"
"Yes, that's the one... I sold it in the middle, but it was too irritable and bit the horse in the same trough to death, so it was returned."
When they saw this horse, Yue Fei and Zhou Tong were both stunned. They thought it was a skinny old horse, so it couldn't be sold for two years. Unexpectedly, it was tall and handsome, with an extraordinary temperament.
Especially after brushing it with a brush, the hair that was originally a little dirty suddenly became shiny, and the muscle lines became full and firm. It is definitely a first-class BMW.
Li Yu walked around the horse and patted it on the back twice:
"Even a blind man can see that this horse is not simple. Your father-in-law can't sell it. It is indeed your destined mount... Your master's wife likes white horses. When she comes back from traveling, remember to bring her here to let her feel it."
"Okay, sir!"
Yue Fei led the horse to the stable, fed it with high-protein feed and clean water, and let the horse adapt to the homestay first. Maybe it will come often in the future.
The apprentice came, and Li Yu was worried that there would not be enough for lunch, so he cut some pork belly and beef and marinated them, bought two packs of steamed meat powder, and prepared to make some steamed meat with powder for everyone to try.
The steamed meat needs to be padded with ingredients, and Li Yu specially padded some old pumpkin.
When it came out of the pot at noon, the meat slices were full of the sweet fragrance of pumpkin, and the steamed fat made the pumpkin fragrant and delicious.
Mu Guiying brought a small basket to the Wahuang Palace, and the old mother liked it very much. She called Yunxiao to taste it together.
"This thing is so delicious, it's really rare."
Yunxiao ate a piece of meat covered with rice noodles, and tasted the pumpkin underneath, thinking that this delicacy was really creative.
The pumpkins planted in the yard are almost ripe, and I can try to make some when I'm not busy.
In the restaurant of the B&B, Yue Fei ate delicious steamed pork with rice flour, lotus leaf chicken and lotus leaf ribs, and talked about the whole process of engagement.
For this engagement, Guan Yu specially arranged a hundred cavalrymen to strengthen the momentum, Zhu Wu and Xiao Rang were the guests, Gongsun Sheng was responsible for choosing an auspicious day, and even Lin Chong followed with a spear, making a big scene.
It's a pity that the main force is now in Zhending Prefecture, and Chao Gai and others are also undercover in Handan, otherwise if everyone goes together, it will be more impressive.
Of course, it may also scare Li Chun.
After all, with so many fierce and evil people going to Neihuang County together, let alone getting engaged, it seems that it would not be difficult to occupy the entire county.
Everyone went there on horseback, and there was no horse gifting process originally, but the big white horse that was locked up alone might have sensed Yue Fei, and all kinds of neighing and roaring attracted everyone's attention, and finally became Yue Fei's mount.
As for the white horse given by Mu Guiying, Yue Fei took the initiative to give it to Shan Xiongxin's fiancée Hu Sanniang.
The war horses carefully selected by Mu Kezhai would not be considered humiliated only if they were given to the generals.
Li Yu took a bite of the perfectly steamed ribs and said:
"Before taking Handan, you must make it clear to your father-in-law and let him join us, so that your wife will not be caught in the middle."
"Don't worry, sir, I have already hinted at it when we got engaged. I will go to visit him in a few days and make it clear to my father-in-law again."
After the meal, Yue Fei and his horse were all full.
He packed a portion of steamed pork with rice flour for his mother and master respectively, and led the big white horse back to Qilin Village.
Today, Qilin Village is like a huge construction site, and all the people have been mobilized to make blanks, burn bricks, take out of the kiln, transport, build houses, and put on tiles...
All the steps are carried out in an orderly manner, and rows of new houses are rising from the ground.
A group of strong villagers, bare-chested, tied square stone pillars with ropes and pulled them high, and then let go at the same time, letting the stone pillars hit the excavated foundation hard to consolidate the foundation.
Yue Fei led the horse to the center of the village, first gave a portion of steamed pork with rice flour to his mother who organized the women to spin yarn, and then went to Zhou Tong's house to give the delicious steamed pork with rice flour to his adoptive father.
"Fei'er, you will be an adult after getting engaged, and you must revive the Yue family in the future."
Zhou Tong took out a bottle of white wine, filled a glass for himself, and explained to Yue Fei while eating.
"Don't worry, foster father, I will carry forward the Yue family!"
Zhou Tong nodded, and just as he was about to say a few more words, the voice of the scout suddenly came from the intercom hanging next to him:
"A group of bandits came from the northwest, and the target seems to be our Qilin Village!"
Guan Yu's deployment came from the intercom:
"Cavalry prepare, no matter who it is, it must be intercepted outside the village, and the construction progress in the village cannot be affected."
Zhou Tong was stunned for a moment:
"There are actually bandits coming, Fei'er go see what's going on."
"Yes!"
Yue Fei hurried out, and soon he carried the Liquan gun, rode a big white horse, and rushed out of the village like a gust of wind...
