Chapter 556 Long Xiu's Kindness

With birds traveling to and from Qingshan County, and thousands of mountains and rivers crossing in a straight line, this road in Nanzhou will not take much time.

The landscape remains the same, and so does the thatched cottage.

After landing, Shang Shuqing looked around and saw an innocent-looking woman sitting on the railing of an attic, holding a food box in one hand, and gnawing on a chicken leg in the other. swinging.

The woman who gnawed on the chicken legs also saw her, so she took a second look, and didn't seem to take it seriously, and continued to kick her legs to eat her own food.

Yuan Gang came, "The princess is here."

"Master Yuan." Shang Shuqing nodded with a smile, then looked at the woman in the attic, and asked curiously, "Who is that?"

"Silver."

"Silver?"

Yuan Gang didn't say much, and reached out for Shang Shuqing's package in the hands of others, and let Shang Shuqing go with him, "The princess's room has been packed."

He didn't say much, and Shang Shuqing didn't ask any more questions, but he still asked, "Is Mr. Yucang's younger brother and sister here? Before coming, my brother told me that I will pay a visit on my behalf."

Yuan Gang: "Let's talk about it later."

"En." Shang Shuqing nodded and followed him.

Xia Lingpei was sitting in the pavilion shaking his head with his collection of poems in his arms, and he was reciting the collection of poems in his hand as if he was muttering words.

The teacher said that it is really too difficult to memorize it backwards, and it is a mouthful.

Zhuang Hong, who had turned around outside, came and saw his son like this, so he didn't come close to disturb him. The sweeping monk in the yard stopped, and made a salute with palms together.

Zhuang Hong nodded slightly.

She is indeed free here, she can come in and out freely, if she wants to go to the county town, she only needs to say something, and someone will immediately arrange a car and horse to take her there at the foot of the mountain, and accompany her to wander around the city.

I haven't experienced this kind of freedom for a long time, and my whole body and mind are relaxed.

And seeing the monk who folded his palms in front of her gave her an indescribable feeling about this Zhuangzi.

It was the first time she saw a manor where all the servants were monks.

Dressed in a monk's robe, he is gentle and clasped together, which is a situation that may be encountered at any time here.

Morning bells and evening drums, and the sound of chanting sutras can be heard occasionally in the morning and evening, which makes people subdue the impetuousness in their hearts, and there is a sense of tranquility and peace.

Not only is she a pious monk who serves people, but here are the food she has never tasted, and the best wine.

The owner here, her son's teacher, made her feel that she is a person who really understands life. There are delicious food and drinks, and there are a group of monks as decorations, and the artistic conception has arrived. It's great!

Thinking back to Mr. Yucang who I have been with for so long, and comparing them, I found that those people lived like walking dead.

In fact, Niu Youdao and others didn't feel this way, and Niu Youdao never thought of embellishing his life with a group of monks, just happened to have a group of monks around him.

Shang Shuqing also felt that this place was very good. Once she escaped from the strict security of the governor's mansion, she would come back here to feel the environment here, which would make her feel at ease.

Yuan Gang accompanied her here, and introduced the mother and son to Shang Shuqing.

Some politeness was inevitable, and it also disturbed Xia Lingpei's study.

Xia Lingpei was a little shocked by Shang Shuqing's appearance. There is such a scary face in the world. She was afraid of looking directly at people, so she was at a loss for a while and couldn't speak smoothly.

Knowing that the other party held a collection of poems written by Niu Youdao, Shang Shuqing couldn't bear it any longer, and tried to ask, "Can you let me have a look at the collection of poems in your master's hand?"

"Okay." Xia Lingpei nodded again and again, and offered it with both hands, "Princess, please take a look."

Shang Shuqing thanked her, flipped it in her hand, and read in a low voice following the handwriting in front of her eyes, "It's hard to travel! It's difficult to travel! There are many divergent roads, where is it now? There will be times when the wind and the waves will break. sea…"

His eyes were condensed, and he fell to the next song: "When is the bright moon? Ask the blue sky for wine. I don't know the palace in the sky, what year is this eve... People have sorrows and joys, and the moon has cloudy and sunny waxes and wanes. This matter is difficult in ancient times. I hope People live for a long time, thousands of miles share beauty..."

After reading it, people have been caught in the artistic conception of poetry, and they are a bit crazy.

The familiar Xia Lingpei also sighed and shook his head, completely admiring the teacher's talent.

Zhuang Hong, who had already read the collection of poems in his son's hands, also sighed, "Mr. is an elegant person."

It’s okay not to boast, but with such a boast, Yuan Gang, who was expressionless, couldn’t take it anymore, his expression twitched uncontrollably.

Xiaoyao Palace notified the disciples to come back, and invited Niu Youdao and Guan Fangyi who were waiting outside the mountain gate to enter.

Flying all the way, arrived at the main peak, in front of you is a continuous building complex like a fairyland.

He led the disciples back and handed them over to the leader who was also acquainted by Niu Youdao and Guan Fangyi, Long Xiu's closed disciple Yi Shu.

"Come with me." Yi Shu didn't care about the politeness of the two, as if he didn't hear the polite words of the two, he left the words calmly and left.

The two looked at each other, and they could only keep up. They came to a flower valley where flowers bloom all the year round, and came to Yuyu Qionglou, which was surrounded by flowers like brocades.

"Wait." Yi Shu dropped the words and left.

"Why does it always feel like this guy doesn't like us?" Guan Fangyi murmured in Niu Youdao's ear.

Niu Youdao also felt this way, he felt it when he was at Wanshoumen, he never thought about coming to Xiaoyao Palace before, but Huang Lie brought the words with him.

Long Xiu had spoken, it would be inappropriate for him not to come.

I don't know what's going on, but I still bite the bullet.

After waiting for a while, the gold-carved and lacquered door behind Qionglou opened, and Long Xiu came out, followed by Yi Shu.

"Hehe, the matchmaker is here too, I kept you two waiting for a long time." Long Xiu greeted with a smile.

"I have met the Palace Master." The two guests saluted together.

Long Xiu waved his hand to signal for the two to be polite, invited them to sit down, then seemed to leave Niu Youdao aside in the cold, and was reminiscing with his old friend Guan Fangyi.

After arguing with Guan Fangyi, Long Xiu found a reason to make both Guan Fangyi and Yi Shu retreat, leaving Niu Youdao alone on the scene.

Watching the others leave, Niu Youdao wondered what Long Xiu was looking for.

Long Xiu's words finally reached his head, "Yan Kingdom conquered Beizhou, you deserve credit, you don't claim credit and keep quiet, but we know it in our hearts."

Niu Youdao hurriedly said: "A little selfishness, dare not boast."

Long Xiu got up, walked to the fence of the pavilion, looked at the scenery in the mountains and said with a smile: "Who can have no selfishness, as a monk of the Yan Kingdom, as long as the general direction is good, as long as it is for the good of the Yan Kingdom, doing it right will be meritorious. "

Niu Youdao got up and followed aside, stood with his hands tied, and said cautiously: "Thank you for your praise, Palace Master."

Long Xiu suddenly said, "What do you think of my disciple?"

"..." Niu Youdao was at a loss, he couldn't understand what the other party said, and he couldn't help asking: "Which disciple is the Palace Master talking about?"

Long Xiu hehe: "You don't know my other disciples. You have met my closed disciple twice. What do you think? I want to hear your evaluation."

Niu Youdao was speechless, he was not familiar with him at all, so what was his comment? Is there something hidden behind that Yi Shu? It seems that there is an opportunity to pay attention to it.

He said politely: "It's really unfamiliar, it's hard for juniors to comment."

Long Xiu: "To look at a person, it is not necessary to be familiar with it. Eyes are also very important, such as appearance, character and other feelings, which are very intuitive."

Niu Youdao observed his words and replied: "The master's apprentice, the appearance is naturally first-class, and the character is naturally not to mention."

"Hehe!" Long Xiu smiled, turned around, stared at him, and asked: "There are rumors outside, I heard that you were given a husband by that Tang Yi?"

Niu Youdao: "It is true."

Long Xiu: "That Tang Yi has no vision! It's a good thing not to get entangled with Shang Qingzong. But then again, you are still young and have a bright future. Finding a suitable wife will save you a lot of detours. I am optimistic about you."

His eyes were a little staring, and he believed that Niu Youdao could understand what he said at this point.

Yishu? Niu Youdao's heart skipped a beat, and he said with a dry smile, "I still hit it off with Matchmaker."

He pushed the matchmaker out again as a shield.

Unexpectedly, Long Xiu waved his sleeves, "I didn't say you don't hit it off. When young people are impulsive, it's fine to have fun. But we have to face reality after all. The age difference is too big to last long. Let's play and play, we can't delay the important events of life, it's better to find someone of the same age."

They didn't care about the messy relationship between him and the matchmaker at all, Niu Youdao didn't hold back, nodded docilely at the right time and said: "The palace master said so."

Long Xiu smiled and nodded slightly. He believed that no one could refuse such a good thing when he offered it to his door.

He thinks that he has already given the other party the confidence to let go by making it clear. The other party should know what to do, and he can't say too much, otherwise he will lose his reputation. Putting his hands behind his back, the topic jumped away, "Nanzhou should be stable, right?"

Niu Youdao replied: "There will be no problems in Nanzhou for the time being, but I am worried about Beizhou."

Long Xiu snorted, "How do you say it?"

Niu Youdao: "Shao Pingbo still has merits. In terms of governing Beizhou, those people sent by the imperial court will mess up Beizhou sooner or later. To put it bluntly, there are too many traitors in the court. Jianxiong has improperly employed people, and is no longer suitable for the three major factions to control Yan Kingdom."

Long Xiu gave him a cold sideways glance, but he just said those words before, he could only accept the words that poured cold water on him, and said indifferently: "Shang Jianxiong also has no choice, in order to keep the throne, who else can he use without his party?"

Niu Youdao: "When necessary, we can replace the person who presides over the situation in Yan Kingdom."

Long Xiu: "It's not as easy as you said. Too many people's interests are involved in the up and down. How can people change it if they say it? One accident, the country of Yan will be in chaos, and no one will take care of it." If the situation is under control, foreign enemies will inevitably sneak in. Will the three major factions be foreign at that time, or go to various places to suppress? Although Shang Jianxiong is incompetent, at least he can barely maintain the overall situation without collapse with the brand of Yan Guo's orthodox. , who will obey whom? Do you think the Shang Dynasty has the qualifications to replace it?"

Niu Youdao was just reminding him, and was also trying to test the other party's attitude with words. Seeing this, he immediately cupped his hands and said: "What the palace master said is true, it's because I didn't think carefully."
