Chapter 218 A meal

Duke Qin Tan was not unfamiliar with this face, bowed his head respectfully and said, "Four Masters, I haven't seen you for a long time."

The four masters said in a harmonious expression: "Yes."

Duke Qin Tan pushed the little emperor who was stunned because of his nervousness and whispered: "I have seen the Four Masters."

The little emperor looked at the golden monk in front of him and murmured: "I have seen the Four Masters."

The four masters nodded at him and said with a smile: "Okay."

Qin Tan said justice: "Your Majesty is eight years old during the Chinese New Year. Can the Four Masters keep him?"

The four masters shook their heads and said, "No." They were actually masters who cherished their words and kept silent.

Qin Tangong was obviously used to his nature and didn't care. He pushed the little emperor again and leaned over and said, "What did Your Majesty say before?"

The little emperor swallowed his saliva and looked up at the four masters, stammeringly saying, "I want to learn how to govern the country, please give me some advice."

The four masters reached out and stroked his head, saying, "Let's have a meal." He did not agree and just turned around and went inward.

They did not stop at night, and they were indeed hungry at this time. Qin Tan Gong bowed and thanked him, and followed him in with the little emperor's hand, and the guards were going to follow in. Qin Tan Gong shook his head: "The imperial temple is the safest place in the world." He took the little emperor into the side hall.

The guards stood outside the door and looked in. Seeing that the temple was as quiet as a place without a man, they thought that they were indeed the four masters of the Imperial Temple. The Jiehui Temple originally raised more than 20 monks and avoided them. The guards closed the door and stood outside.

There was a table in the side hall, and Qin Tan Gong led the little emperor to follow in. The four masters had already taken off the Buddha's crown and put down their staff to sit down. On the table were a plate of dried tofu, a plate of rice cake, and three bowls of hot porridge.

The little emperor had never eaten these things since he was so old. He was curious and eager to try it. After taking a bite, he almost vomited it out. Qin Tan Gong calmly ate half a bowl of porridge and several bites of the dishes, and said, "It has been a long time since I last ate the Four Masters' rice, and the taste has not changed. I miss it very much." His expression was a little emotional and excited.

The little emperor didn't dare to say he wouldn't eat it. He bit the dried tofu bits and seemed to be eating until the meal was over. The four masters didn't care. After quietly eating his own meal, he said: "Go back."

Duke Qin Tan looked at him and said, "Four Masters, Your Majesty is not young anymore."

The four masters glanced at the little emperor who put the dried beans in their mouths and tried to pretend to be eaten. The little emperor was tense and his cheeks were bulging.

Qin Tangong looked unhappy, and the four masters said kindly: "I'm still young, still young, don't worry." After that, he stood up.

Qin Tan Gong called out to the Four Masters. The Four Masters looked back at him and looked at him for a moment. Qin Tan Gong bowed and said, "Yes."

The four masters nodded at him with a smile and said, "You can teach him too."

When the late emperor came to study, Qin Tan Gong accompanied him, and the Four Masters also taught Qin Tan Gong. When Qin Tan Gong remembered the old things, his eyes were slightly wet and shouted at the Four Masters. The Four Masters smiled and turned around and walked in.

Qin Tan Gong did not follow in again, looked down at the little emperor standing beside him, and said, "The four masters' vegetarian food is delicious."

The little emperor nodded and did not dare to speak, and slowly chewed the dried beans in his mouth.

Qin Tan Gong pointed to the porridge on the table and said, "Drink it."

The little emperor's tears were about to fall, but he didn't dare to refute at all and sat back and drank chewy bites with the bowl.

......

When the sunlight was rising, the temple gate opened with a creaking sound. The guards outside the door hurriedly came forward and watched Qin Tan Gong lead the little emperor out.

"Master, why don't you let me stay?" said a guard.

Qin Tan Gong smiled and said, "Better than last time, I've had a meal this time." He looked down at the little emperor, "Since the Four Masters said they were still young, then we will come back later. People will never be young for the rest of their lives. Your Majesty, you must learn from the Four Masters."

I have to live with this four masters and eat this kind of vegetarian food every day? The little emperor's tears suddenly rolled in his eyes. He couldn't help but grab the sleeve of Qin Tan Gong and said, "Uncle... Qin Tan Gong, let's go back."

Duke Qin Tan picked him up and put him on the horse, looked at the temple again, and turned over and galloped. The guards followed closely behind, gradually turning back to the temple and disappeared in sight.

......

The temple was still very quiet until the sun sets westward, and several villagers who were raising firewood passed by. One of them shouted: "Why is the door plaque of Jiehui Temple gone?"

This is a big event. The door plaque of a temple is the facade. Several villagers hurried into the temple. While shouting at the master, they ran around. They vaguely heard the shouts from the back hall. When they heard the sound, they were shocked when they found the woodshed. It turned out that more than 20 monks were tied and stacked in the woodshed. Several were struggling with cloth in their mouths, and many seemed to be sleeping. The worst thing was that the abbot was stripped naked and piled up on the top in shorts.

With a click, a plaque fell as the awakened monk struggled, and it was the door plaque of Jiehui Temple.

The villagers were stunned.

"Xiehui Temple has been thieves!"

The shouts pierced the winter wilderness.

A bald old man was walking quickly in the wilderness, and occasionally stopped and retching.

"Ghost Suzhai...that kind of ghost thing can be eaten is not human..."

It seemed that I thought of some miserable past again, and I was even more anxious to retching, but my steps accelerated, and I muttered that I was so hungry, so hungry, so hurry up and go away.

The wind in the first month of the year made his bald hair cold. He reached out and patted him, and shook his hair out of his sleeve and pressed it on his head. His hair was scattered like dry grass and drifted in the wind. The old man didn't care about shaking his hands and strolling, which seemed leisurely and slowly, but standing in the distance, he would find that the road seemed to be shorter at his feet, and he walked far away, and gradually disappeared in the wilderness and disappeared.

....

The Lantern Festival has already arrived in Chang'an City. After the Lantern Festival is full of lively life, the atmosphere of the New Year dissipates. All the social schools, big and small, have started school, and the shops at the Fuxue Palace are also busy. In the past, Xue Qing, who sat alone in the cottage, could feel the increasing noise outside.

Nuannuan ran closer and opened the door of the cottage and said, "Young master, the people on the street said the exam period is set."

Xue Qing said: "When?"

Nuannuan said: "On the tenth day of the second month." He raised his hand and calculated, "There are eighteen days left... so fast."

Yes, Xue Qing took a deep breath, and finally it was almost here, and he was about to take the second step to plan his life goal.

Nuannuan sat down and held her face and looked at her left and right, saying, "Are you nervous at the young master?"

Xue Qing nodded and said, "I'm nervous."

Nuannuan giggled: "Young master will be nervous too."

Xue Qing said: "I am also a human being..."

After the words came to an end, he heard a voice outside the window: "Aren't the gods descending to earth at this time?"

Mr. Sige! Xue Qing hurriedly stood up and looked over and called out Mr. Sige. Mr. Sige came in from outside. Nuannuan was not unfamiliar with this old man who sold books... He always came to beg for food, so he stood up and said, "Grandpa, there is still a fresh fish."

Mr. Si Brown was overjoyed and said, "It's so Nuannuan and I'm so hot... Forget it, don't be hot, just eat it cold as crispy fish."

Nuannuan ran out with a smile, and Xue Qing said, "I thought the sir was nervous and I would come back after the exam."

Mr. Sige said, "How could I miss such a fun thing?" He said and laughed.

Xue Qing felt that he was smiling strangely, and Mr. Si Broo said in plastic surgery again: "Don't be nervous, why are you nervous..." He smiled again, "There are more people who are nervous than you."

After the Lantern Festival, the weather became warmer, and Mr. Qingxia, who was walking to the prefect's office, felt a layer of sweat on her forehead.
