Poor monks do not break the precepts

This day, Xusheng slept until the sun was up and did not wake up. While half asleep and half awake, he heard someone outside the window talking in a low voice. He could vaguely hear the voice of the amorous young man, and he turned over in agitation and ignored it.I don't know how long it took, the clear laughter like an oriole ushered in the courtyard, but the sound was soon suppressed by Chen Xiang's persuasion.Later, he seemed to hear very light footsteps entering his room, but he was really exhausted physically and mentally and didn't want to talk to him.When Xu Sheng opened his eyes and thought about it, the sky was getting darker and darker, it was dusk.

Xu Sheng lay sideways on the soft couch, looking out of the small window in a daze at the glowing rays of light, when suddenly he heard voices of concern chasing after him, "Are you awake?"

Waking up in shock, he turned around and sat up, Xu Sheng stared at Huai Mingmo wonderingly, "It's you?"

Huai Mingmo said "En", and explained slowly: "I ran into Princess Longxiu on the street half an hour ago. I heard that you were not feeling well, so I wanted to ask about the situation. I'll bring it here." Huai Mingmo sat next to Xu Sheng's couch freely and said with a smile, "From your voice, it can be seen that there is no serious problem."

"It's just that you're too tired, it's okay." There was a sound of sword strikes in the courtyard, obviously someone was fighting, and after listening to one of them's martial arts skills, Xu Sheng was confused: "Who is competing with Chen Xiang?"

Huai Mingmo said with a faint smile, "Don't worry, it's Xin Li. Chen Xiang happened to be practicing swords in the courtyard when he came here, and he wanted to ask for advice on two moves."

Xu Sheng casually took a plain shirt to put on, walked to the door and took a look, there was a thin layer of sweat on their foreheads, obviously they had been fighting for a while.He raised his voice: "Chen Xiang, stop, don't be rude."

The evil spirit dissipated in an instant, Chen Xiang immediately withdrew his sword move, turned back and stood beside Xu Sheng.The ability to retract and release internal strength moves is definitely not something that ordinary martial arts practitioners can do. Hearing is deceiving. Now that he has seen the ability of the rumored female swordsman with his own eyes, Luo Chen's eyes are staring, and he feels more and more that he is not good at learning.

Xin Li hadn't enjoyed himself yet, but looking at the situation in front of him, he also knew that it was impossible to continue, so he smiled and said: "It's just a martial arts competition..." He suddenly stopped talking in the middle of speaking, and he didn't know how to call Xu Sheng better.

Xu Sheng saw through Xin Li's thoughts at a glance, and said with a smile: "The poor monk has not yet returned to the vulgar."

Huai Mingmo tried his best not to touch Xu Sheng's sad things, and said in a calm tone: "It's hard to go back to Buddhism."

Xu Sheng laughed at himself, and couldn't help but whispered sadly: "Yes, I'm afraid it won't be possible."

Zang Li vomited out the last hawthorn seed from the candied haws, and suddenly attacked Xu Sheng, as fast as an arrow from a string, before everyone could react, she had already held the blade in front of Xu Sheng.When the tip of the blade was less than half a foot away from Xu Sheng, Xu Sheng easily dodged Zang Li's attack with a slight movement, Zang Li swung his body and slashed at Xu Sheng again, but still did not touch Xu Sheng's clothes.Zang Li still didn't give up, and her attacking speed became faster and faster, but it was a pity that Xu Sheng was always dodged.

The incident happened suddenly, and everyone didn't react at first, but when they did, Huai Mingmo and the others had other ideas, so they didn't make a sound to stop Zang Li.Seeing that Xu Sheng was attacked repeatedly, Chen Xiang did not fight back, and seeing that Zang Li was attacking more and more ruthlessly, as if she wanted to kill Xu Sheng, she was instantly enraged and wanted to take Zang Li's life.Zang Li saw that she was on fire, she hurriedly retreated, but how many people did Chen Xiang have, so there was no way for Zang Li to retreat.Everyone turned pale when they saw this, and they knew Zang Li's troubles well, and tried to save Zang Li, but seeing that it was too late, another ray of fragrance was needed under the Chihong sword.

Xu Sheng suddenly jumped between the two of them, dodged Chen Xiang's quick attack with a trick, and then pulled Zang Li away sideways, and the fight ended.

"Missing Shadow?!" Zheng Fengnian is the most experienced, first saw the lightness kung fu used by Xu Sheng, and said in amazement: "The lightness kung fu used by Master Xu Sheng is Mr. Butterfly's Mystic Trace?"

Xin Li stared at Xu Sheng for a long time after hearing the words, and his tongue seemed to be knotted very awkwardly, "Missing Shadow is Mr. Butterfly's own creation of lightness kung fu, there is no secret book handed down, how did master Xu Sheng learn it? Brother Zheng, you misread it. "

"People with high martial arts talents, why do they need secret books of mind. I'm afraid that if they find someone who has seen this lightness kung fu in the past, they can get a general understanding of Mi Zingying's practice." Huai Mingmo replied very indifferently, feeling Seeing that Chen Xiang was still angry, she hurriedly protected Zang Li behind her, and scolded sharply: "Nonsense, quickly apologize to Master Xu Sheng."

Zang Li was obviously a little frightened, she looked a little dazed, stared at Xu Sheng and said, "It's really you?"

Xu Sheng immediately understood what Zang Li said, and said with a light smile, "Who am I?"

Just as Zang Li wanted to speak, Luo Chen covered her mouth. Luo Chen said awkwardly: "The little girl is ignorant, I hope Miao Monk will not be offended."

Not to mention that Xu Sheng was so leisurely and contented that he couldn't see his thoughts, Chen Xiang's complexion was extremely embarrassed, and his black eyes were fixed on Zang Li.Luo Chen knew at a glance that if Zang Li were to reveal his false identity, he might die, so how could he be willing to do so.Zang Li didn't understand such complicated thoughts, struggled left and right but couldn't get rid of Luo Chen's confinement, when she was in a hurry, she opened her mouth and wanted to bite him.

Now that Xu Sheng is free, Jin Shuigen hastily brought over the letter he received at noon.At this time, only Huai Mingmo was beside Xu Sheng, he glanced at them hastily, sorted them without any scruples, and sent Jin Shuigen to the study.Huai Ming couldn't see with dark eyes, but Xu Sheng forgot that he had a particularly good nose, and the delicate fragrance of powder on a few letters could not escape his sense of smell.

When Jin Shuigen withdrew, he took out the bronzing invitation card from his sleeve, bent down and respectfully said: "Sir, this is left by the amorous young master when he came at noon."

"Understood, you go down." Xu Sheng took the post and looked at it carefully, completely oblivious to the expressions of the people around when they heard the big man addressing him.After a long while, Xu Sheng smiled and said: "I wanted to keep you for dinner, but now it seems that I can't."

Zang Li is a girl who loves meat very much, since she came to Xusheng's mansion to eat two meals, she can't remember the fishy meat, so she smelled that she didn't have a good meal today, and she immediately showed a disappointed expression on her face.

Seeing it, Xu Sheng felt that the girl was so cute, so he smiled and said: "It must be that Mrs. Guo has already prepared dinner at this time, so it's a pity to go. Why don't you guys stay here and eat before going back home? I’m just sorry that I can’t accompany you.”

"The amorous son Jianghu, I often hear about it, but I never have the chance to meet him." Huai Ming's ink eyes moved slightly, and he said with a smile: "The last time I saw Han Gongchun, it was really offensive. I don't know if I can go with me today, So that I have a chance to apologize in person." He heard Zang Li's slight stomping sound, and said again: "I know how inconvenient it is, so I can just take Xin Litong with me?"

The clear purpose obviously cannot be shirked, Xu Sheng looked at Huai Mingmo and felt funny, who would have known that this ruthless young man who is all over the world is so bad at making excuses.After a while he said, "It's okay to think about it."

During the conversation, there were already chariots and horses waiting outside the house. The chariot was sent by the amorous young master, and it was very grand. The four-horse chariot of the princes was parked in Chongmingfang, a small market where the common people lived, and it seemed out of place.The carriage had already blocked the small street outside Xu Sheng's house, but it didn't take long for many people to watch, and the door was almost completely surrounded.Fortunately, although the onlookers were curious, they didn't dare to block the way of the court prince. The carriage easily drove out of Chongmingfang, along Central Avenue, and turned into Pinglefang, the busiest Wenrou Township in the capital.

The cloudy and rosy sky is gradually being colored by black ink, the houses in Pingle Square are all lighting up the lights, the doors of the brothels are wide open, and the sound of silk and bamboo is gradually rising.Many chariots and horses are driving to the square, where the rich and powerful, the sons of kings and grandchildren, and wealthy merchants all gather here, singing and dancing, and the beautiful laughter of women can be heard endlessly.

The carriage drove to Qingping Lefang by the river in the center of the market square and stopped slowly. There was a madam waiting outside the door. Seeing the carriage heard the door, the madam quickly sent her subordinates to bring a footstool and asked Xu Sheng to get out of the carriage.

Yun Niang glanced at the two young masters who came down after Xu Sheng, smiled and led them in, "Mr. Please, Mr. Amorous Master has already held a banquet in Ya Ge, and I have been waiting for your arrival."

Goulan Courtyard is full of fish and dragons, although Qingpingle is a clean place, but there are not enough people with eccentric thoughts.Xin Li stayed by Huai Mingmo's side all the time, followed Xu Sheng up to the second floor, crossed the independent corridor bridge, and walked into a wing room.

"Sir, please come inside." Yunniang sent Xu Sheng outside the Accord, opened the door of the side room, and did not step in.

Xinli couldn't hold back and said in a low voice: "This group of people is really strange, everyone calls the monk Mr.

Xu Sheng stopped his hand lifting the curtain, turned his head and said with a smile: "The Jianghu address, a woman can be called Mr., but can't she be called Mr. directly if she is a monk?"

While chatting, slender fingers were exposed from the gap in the curtain and slowly opened the curtain, a woman walked out from the back room slowly, she was different from ordinary women in red buildings, she was bright and beautiful with only a thin layer of powder and daisy.Seeing Xu Sheng, the woman immediately bowed her knees and saluted slightly, said with a light smile: "Chuncao pays homage to Mr. Wuqing."

Xu Sheng took half a step back, "It's Miss Chun, I didn't expect Young Master Amorous to spend so much money to invite the number one in the courtyard."

Even though the faint fragrance was covered up by the rich fragrance powder, Huai Mingmo immediately noticed it. He moved his fingertips and wrote a few words on Xin Li's palm, and then followed Xu Sheng into the back room.There was a beautiful woman playing the piano on the stage, her skills were superb, but in Huaiming Mo's ears, it was a melodious sound, so she was not interested in listening carefully.

Xu Sheng sat down with a smile, casually glanced at the woman on the stage, smiled and said to Young Master Amorous: "Dong Xue's piano skills have improved again."

Qiu Feng, who was by the side of Young Master Amorous, covered his mouth and smiled lightly, "She is a qin fanatic, Mr. Xu knows it."

"Miss Xia, you're welcome, I don't drink alcohol." Xu Sheng pushed away Xia He's full bottle of wine, and poured himself some green tea.

"I told you earlier that this monk is very boring. If you don't believe me, you have to give it a try." The amorous young man pulled Xia He to sit beside him, tilted his head and leaned on Qiu Feng, looked at Huai Mingmo for a while, and said, "Ruthless." The young master didn't force his way this time."

Huai Mingmo picked up the tea that Xu Sheng had poured for him, and said calmly: "I was the one who acted recklessly last time, I hope you will forgive me." After finishing speaking, he raised his head and drank the cup of clear tea.

Xia He smiled sweetly, handed the wine to Huai Mingmo, and said coquettishly, "No sincerity."

Xu Sheng glanced at Xia He with rosy cheeks, his rippling eyes stared at Huai Mingmo very seductively, his whole body seemed to be brittle and was about to lean on Huai Mingmo.Unexpectedly, Huai Mingmo got up ignorantly, gave up his seat to Xia He, and sat next to Xu Sheng.

The amorous young man narrowed his eyes for a moment, immediately smiled and called Xia He back to him, shook his head and said: "Mr. Ruthless is really heartless, and he is so boring, just like you stupid monk."

Xu Sheng glanced at the delicious food on the table, but without moving a chopstick, he said with a smile: "You have all the good wine and beauties to yourself, you have all the advantages, and you come back to criticize me."

"It's better to be alone than to be happy." The amorous young man took a piece of roast meat and brought it to the mouth of the sulking beauty, "Do you think so?"

Xia He tilted her head slightly, and said angrily: "I have been in Qingpingle for many years, and I have never met anyone who refuses my wine."

Chuncao glanced at Xusheng, saw something bad, and immediately apologized in a soft voice: "Little sister doesn't understand the rules, and I hope the two young masters will forgive me." She stared at Xia He for a while, and said coldly: "Forgot Qing Ping Le Is it a rule? Why do guests talk?"

Xu Sheng smiled slightly, and glanced at the four beauties in the room, "We are the two of you who don't know how to be interesting, and you slapped Miss Xia's face." Convinced of his words, Xu Sheng still didn't touch the wine, watching the amorous young man lingering in the flowers Like a romantic, he sneered: "You are so playful, if the family members know about it, I'm afraid it will be sad."

The amorous young man bit the chestnut that Qiu Feng gave him between his vermilion lips, and stroked Qiu Feng's delicate jaw with his fingertips, "Which man is not flirtatious?"

Huai Mingmo drank tea with downcast eyes. He had heard that Mr. Amorous is famous, but it was so untrue. He couldn't help but look down a few times in his heart, and he couldn't understand why Xu Sheng was so close to Mr. Amorous.

The girls in the room, except for Dongxue who was playing the piano, were all around the amorous young man. They had experienced countless men, so they could naturally read the guests' minds.Not to mention the hypocrisy of a monk, the other blind young master obviously wouldn't be sympathetic, and of course they wouldn't ask for trouble.

Looking at the table of meaty meat, Xu Sheng tilted his head and smiled to Huai Mingmo and said, "Can you bother Xin Li to go to Man Ting Fang next door to buy a bowl of plain noodles?"

"Two bowls." Huai Mingmo turned his head and didn't say much, "Go and come back quickly."

Xinli wondered: "But if I go to the Red House to buy two bowls of plain noodles, I'm afraid they won't accept customers."

Xu Sheng waved his hand, and said disapprovingly: "You go to Man Tingfang Gate and meet people to report my name, and then ask them to deliver this after finishing." If people who don't know Xu Sheng hear this, they will basically He would treat his words as crazy words, but the people present didn't even raise eyebrows.

Hearing this, Xin Li immediately opened the window, jumped down and flew directly to the door of Man Tingfang, which frightened the boy at the door.As soon as the boy heard that Xu Sheng sent someone to call, he immediately ran into the courtyard in a hurry, and after a short while, he saw someone bring out two bowls of hot plain noodles, without handing them over to Xin Li who was waiting outside, he went straight into Qingping Le's building, go straight to the direction of the Accord on the second floor.This scene was very weird, logically speaking Qingpingle should be stopped by someone, but no matter the madam who entertained the distinguished guests in the building, or the young servant who led the way to serve, it seemed that no one from Mantingfang had come.

"Just put it here." Xu Sheng patted the desk in front of him lightly, and took the wooden chopsticks handed over by the servant.

Young Master Amorous stared at Xu Sheng intriguingly, after a long while he smiled and said: "You smashed Qing Ping Le's sign on purpose, and people thought that Qing Ping Le's dishes were not as good as Man Ting Fang's."

Huai Mingmo deliberately defended: "How many high-ranking customers come to the Red Mansion for food? The amorous son is too worried."

"Did you hear that?" After not eating for a day, Xu Sheng was really hungry. After finishing half a bowl of plain noodles in a blink of an eye, he regained his energy and said, "You specially entertained me, why on earth?"

"Looking for you to reminisce about the old days." After drinking the whole pot of wine, the amorous young master still didn't feel drunk, but his eyes became clearer and he said: "It's rare to give me a chance to show the kindness of the landlord." The amorous young master scolded again: "You have come to the capital for several days and didn't look for it. I, instead, go to the Sixth Prince's residence as a guest first. I am really born to be born."

Xu Sheng's eyes moved slightly, and he shouted for grievances, "Your whereabouts are uncertain, it's not so easy for me to find you. Besides, the sixth prince has repeatedly climbed Wuwangya, if I come to the capital and don't visit, it really can't be justified."

"At the end of the day, it's you and me who are shallow in love. It's not as good as you and Mr. Ruthless." The amorous young man leaned on the beauty and whispered: "It smells so good."

Qing Pingle's girl has a special smell of makeup and powder, which makes people intoxicated by smelling it, as if floating on the top of the clouds, and the fragrance is like sweet and mellow fine wine. If you stay in it for a long time, you will feel weak and tired, and even the best self-control will become weak. Somewhat loose.Since Xinli left the house, he never stepped into the Accord, he just waited outside the house. At first, he didn't understand the instructions secretly given to him by Huai Mingmo, until he stood awake for a long time, he realized the special smell of the incense powder, and he couldn't help worrying about the fragrance inside the house. Huai Mingmo's condition.

It's strange to say that Huai Mingmo became more and more obsessed with Moshicai, and after eating without a face all night, his chaotic mind suddenly cleared up.Huai Mingmo immediately understood the mystery of the noodle soup.

"You go in and out of Gentle Country all day, I want to get closer to you." Xu Sheng pretended to be disgusted, and sighed bitterly: "My reputation is down, Shaolin's reputation, I can't bear it."

Huai Mingmo thought of the place where he met Xu Sheng again, and suddenly felt dissatisfied, and teased: "You know, you always go to this kind of place."

The amorous young man clasped his palms and laughed until tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, "Listen, it's thanks to you that you can say this, it's fair and comfortable." His eyes glanced at Huai Mingmo, and he smiled and said softly: "Shangshu Zhang Yuheng Did you know about being dismissed from office and exiled to Quzhou?"

"When did it happen?" Xu Sheng pressed Huai Mingmo, who was about to jump up, and asked slowly: "What's going on?"

"Before you came, I met Mr. Liu of the Ministry of Justice. From Liu Jianwen's tone, it seemed that his father had accidentally leaked the news when he returned to the palace."

Huai Mingmo suppressed his anxiety and panic, and the hand under the table cover held Xu Sheng's wrist instead, "What crime did Mr. Zhang get?"

Young Master Amorous looked at Huai Mingmo profoundly, and said with a smile: "It is said that he has embezzled a huge amount of national wealth. The Ministry of Household Affairs is a fat vacancy. Some of the people who sit in this seat have clean hands and feet."

"Master Zhang is a veteran of the two dynasties. He is dedicated to serving the country. Up to now, he has lived in the Huai'anfang mansion. He usually wears coarse clothes and linen clothes when he takes a bath. How can such a veteran be greedy for ink, not to mention huge greed? It's because I haven't even touched half of it into my pocket." Huai Mingmo said a little excitedly, his round eyes were full of resentment.

To frame an old official for his own selfish desires really makes Xu Sheng feel contemptuous, Emperor Meng is so stupid, Bei Meng would perish without him disturbing the situation.A sneer flashed across the corner of his mouth, like a shooting star, "Is there no one to defend Mr. Zhang?"

A faint light flickered in the eyes of the amorous son, "Master An from the Ministry of Rites and Lord Dong from the Ministry of War just wanted to say a few words, but they were reprimanded by the emperor, and Mr. An was even fined for his agitated words. In such a situation, who else Dare to come out and say more. No one wants to make fun of themselves. After all, it’s okay to be dismissed from office. It’s just that under the overthrow, it’s not good to have a family. "

The former empress had no children, and the most noble prince in Beimeng was the son of Concubine Ji. Moreover, when Empress An passed away, these old ministers also recommended Concubine Ji as the empress. Therefore, in the hearts of these veterans, the eldest prince Meng Qixian was actually the same as the legitimate son. No difference.The prince is honest, well versed in the truth that hard work can make up for one's weakness, and he is diligent in doing things, these are seen by the courtier.Emperor Meng didn't know why, if he wanted to discuss the prince, he had to persuade these old courtiers, but the method was too obscene.

Zhang Ru is the only son of Zhang Yuheng, he studied under Xiao Quhua, was praised by Xiao Quhua many times, and now he is the Minister of Rites.Xu Sheng had met him a few times before, his face was dignified and dignified, he had the demeanor of his father when he was young, if it wasn't for this accident, he would have a bright future, and it would be a matter of time before he came to worship and join the cabinet.

Xu Sheng thought for a while and said, "Master Zhang's only son has also been exiled?"

"All the males over fifteen years old from the nine clans of the Zhang clan were exiled, and all the females were flattened. The few clans that got closer were not servants of officials, but entered the inner court." The amorous young man gloated and said, "Guess it's hard to protect yourself." Will your prince beg for mercy?"

Huai Mingmo said without hesitation: "Master Zhang is the prince's mentor, and the prince will go if he wants to."

The amorous young master couldn't help laughing, and said: "You are commendable for your courage, but you are also unmatched for your stupidity."

Xu Sheng was quite suspicious and said: "The second ancestor of Mr. Liu's family, who drinks flower wine and makes up nonsense all day long, can he take it seriously?"

"I don't think it's fake. After all, when Hu Bian was arrested as the chief assistant of the court, he would tell everyone that he was passed on to the court. Do he want his life? Even if his father is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he can't be saved."

Qiu Feng leaned into the arms of the amorous young master, and said coquettishly: "Whoever comes to Fengyue to talk about political affairs, it's really boring." She poured a glass of wine and handed it to the amorous young master, pouting and muttering: "The words are spoken first by the young master." If you start off, you should be punished."

The amorous young man pinched the tender cheeks and said with a smile: "It's my fault that I should be punished. I neglected some beauties."

The joyful atmosphere in the room was restored again, the amorous son loves to travel and see a lot, and the stories he tells are very witty, and the beauties listened with fascination.Suddenly he heard the sound of "bang" slapping the table, and saw Huai Mingmo stand up abruptly, speaking a little anxiously and incoherently, and walked out of the Accord after speaking.

The amorous young man leaned against the window, raised his eyebrows and watched Huai Mingmo's carriage leave, and said contemptuously: "This ruthless young man is not at all like the rumors in the world. He thought he was a scheming person, but he turned out to be an idiot."

Xu Sheng helped the table to get up slowly, and smoothed the crumpled hem of his clothes after sitting for a long time, "The poor monk also bid farewell."

"Sit down for a while?"

Xu Sheng glanced at the vulgar things around him, shook his head and said with a smile: "No, since you're fine, I won't be staying for long. I won't disturb your good time."

Right now is the beautiful time of the day, Qingpingle is full of seats, and the sound of laughter in the building is one after another.Although the customers visiting the Qingguan restaurant are better, they are not very good, there are a lot of vulgar words, and the women in the restaurant are used to hearing them, patting the chest of the guests coquettishly and whispering a few words, and laughing foolishly and showing coquettishness.

Xu Sheng looked at it coldly, sniffed coldly and walked downstairs slowly, suddenly a woman accidentally put it in his arms and apologized repeatedly.Xu Sheng was not annoyed, he made the way out of Qingpingle, and when no one was looking, he turned into the alley beside the courtyard.
