While she was eating, Chou Chou's voice sounded in Qingyan's mind: "That fake monk went to deliver the meal."
Qingyan quickly put her consciousness over and saw a tall and thin young monk placing food on the table. The lady she saw before was standing beside the table, speaking to him in a low voice while helping.
Qingyan was confused. The two people were still speaking in foreign languages, and she couldn't understand them at all!
This is really a case of spying on a lonely person. After watching for a long time, apart from knowing who the two parties were, the purpose of the meeting was not clear at all.
While she slowly ate the food in the bowl, her consciousness was still there. She couldn't understand what the other person was saying anyway, so she could only stare at the other person's expression to see if she could tell anything.
The two of them didn't talk much, just a few words, and the man left after the food was put on the table.
The lady ate quietly by herself without making any unnecessary movements.
I regret that during the Anti-Japanese War, codes or secret words were used to transmit messages. This was indeed safe and would not be easily leaked.
Qingyan was sighing in her heart, and Chou Chou said to her: "You can ask the Li family if anyone can speak Tubo. I have written down their conversation. If anyone can, you can retell it to them."
Qingyan's eyes lit up and she said with admiration: "Okay, Chou Chou! I didn't expect you to have such a unique skill. They said a long list of things, and you wrote them all down?"
Chou Chou said sternly: "Of course, don't underestimate the ability of this ancient beast like me. The ability to remember things through eyes and ears is just a trivial matter."
Listening to its tone, Qingyan could imagine the arrogant expression on its face, and she couldn't help but curl her lips.
"Miss Yang, why are you still laughing while eating? Did you think of something happy?"
Sitting opposite, Li Hanyun had already eaten and was drinking tea. When he saw Qingyan's sudden smile, he couldn't help but ask.
Qingyan listened to his words and let Chou Chou continue to stare there. She withdrew her consciousness and said to Li Hanyun, "No, I just suddenly thought of a joke."
Li Hanyun looked curious, "What kind of joke is this? Can you tell us about it?"
When Qingyan saw others looking over, she had no choice but to think about ancient jokes she had heard before.
Then an idea flashed and he said: "It's a joke about monks. It is said that there is a monk named "Buyu Zen" in a certain temple. He has very little knowledge. When people come to visit on weekdays, he relies on two attendants to answer questions on his behalf.
One day, two waiters went out at the same time, and a traveling monk happened to come to visit and ask for advice.
The wandering monk asked: "Master, what is a Buddha?"
How could Fuyu Zen answer this question? He looked east and west for a while.
Monk You Fang nodded as if he understood, and then asked: "Then what is Dharma?"
Silent Zen remains silent, looking up and down now and then.
The visiting monk became more respectful and asked, "What is a monk?"
Fuyu Zen had no choice but to close his eyes and not answer.
Monk Youfang asked again: "What is blessing?"
Buyu Chan stretched out his hands anxiously.
The wandering monk left with a satisfied look on his face. On the way, he met two waiters of Buyu Zen. He said to them: "I went to see the master and asked him about the Buddha. The Zen master looked around, which means that people have things and Buddhas have nothing." north and south also;
I asked about the Dharma, and the Zen master looked at it, meaning that the Dharma is equal and there is no superiority or inferiority;
I asked the monk, and he closed his eyes and told me: Lying deep in the clouds, there is an eminent monk;
Asked again for blessings, he stretched out his hand, meaning to attract all sentient beings.
This master can really be said to have a clear mind and a clear mind! "
When the waiters returned to the temple, Buyu Chan yelled at them: "Where have you been? You didn't come to help me!"
He asked the Buddha, "Teach me to look to the east but you are not there, and to the west you are not there;"
He also asked the Dharma and taught me that there is no way to heaven and no door to earth;
He asked the monk again, but I had no choice but to sleep in disguise;
He asked for blessings again, "I feel ashamed that I don't know everything, so why should I be an elder? I might as well reach out and beg for help along the door..."
After the words fell, the room was quiet for a few seconds, and then bursts of laughter, especially uncle and nephew Li Hanyun and Li Muxue laughed the loudest.
Mrs. Wang, Xue Huan'er, Wang Qingyue, covered their mouths and laughed, and their voices were much softer.
After laughing for a while, everyone calmed down. Xue Huan'er patted Qingyan's arm and said, "Where did you hear this? This is so funny."
Li Muxue asked curiously: "Auntie, is there really such a monk? I don't know whether Monk You Fang is smart or stupid, but he can understand so much on his own, not to mention it makes sense, hahaha..."
As he spoke, he started laughing again.
Others laughed too.
Qingyan shook her head and said, "I also heard it from others. It's just a joke. It must have been made up."
Li Hanyun smiled and said: "Not sure, maybe there are such people in this world. Some people really like to over-examine other people's thoughts.
One of my classmates likes to speculate on other people's thoughts. One time, a classmate had a happy event at home and wanted to invite us to go to a restaurant to have fun. He thought they wanted to ask for his help, so he even said he had something to do and wouldn't go. Afterwards, he heard what we said He just went to have a meal, but he regretted it. "
Li Muxue looked at her cousin and asked curiously: "Why would that person think that way? We are all classmates, how can he help?"
Li Hanyun: "His father is a Tongzhi. He is responsible for local salt, grain, poaching, river defense, river engineering, water conservancy, as well as cleaning up military registration, appeasing the people and other affairs. These are important needs for the people's livelihood. It is normal for many people to come to visit him.
It's just that he was a bit too conceited. Although the classmate who was treating guests was just a merchant, he had a close relative who was an official in the government, so he really couldn't go to his house. "
Qingyan and Wang Qingyue looked at each other, with disapproval on their faces but a tacit understanding and didn't say anything.
It's not necessarily true that you can't ask for it. After all, even if someone is an official in the court, no matter how high the official position is, you can't deny that the county magistrate is not as good as the current manager.
If his family stays on this third of an acre of land, they may not be able to seek help from them, but this time it is true that the young master of the Tongzhi family is overthinking it.
But it’s good to think more, at least he won’t bring trouble to his father. Although it seems like a trivial matter, sometimes such trivial matters are more troublesome. There are many traps starting from such ordinary trivial matters. Set up in the middle.
Especially the children of these official families, if they are not careful, they may be tricked into it. Many of the dandy children may not be their own dandies, but are often tricked by someone to lure them to do those things.
There are not necessarily those who learn bad things on their own, but there are very few, and many of them are seduced by others.
The young master of the Tongzhi family must have been warned countless times by his father and mother before he developed such a character.
I just don’t know what kind of person Mr. Tongzhi is. This kind of person may not necessarily be a good person, but he is just cautious and doesn’t want his son to take work for him.
If he is really the kind of upright and selfless person, even if his son takes over the job, it won't matter if he sternly refuses.
He specifically told his son to be careful, but he might secretly help others because he was afraid that his secret would be exposed.
Sometimes the more bad people do, the more serious they appear to be.
Later, Qingyan interrupted Li Hanyun to talk about her classmates and talked about her encounter with the Tubo people.
"I met them several times in Yunling County before. They all communicated in their own language. I couldn't understand them. It was like listening to a book from heaven."
Although the two countries are about to go to war, they will not expel the people of the other country who were in the territory of the two countries.
After all, some people have settled down in the local area and have even become locals over several generations, such as Aunt Chen's maternal grandfather and mother.
Those who only do business temporarily and leave when the tension between the two countries becomes tense. They are mobile in the first place and will not stay.
Anyway, as long as the person has a clean financial background, the local people will generally not take action against them.
War is a matter between armies. As long as there is no deep hatred, it will not affect the common people under normal circumstances.
Of course, it is not ruled out that family members go to war and cannot come back, venting their anger to other countrymen, but after all, in the minority, everyone is still somewhat sensible.
Nowadays, there is an unwritten rule in battles. You will not use local people as hostages to threaten the other party. If that is the case, just stop fighting at all and just go to the other party's land to kidnap people.
Whoever captures more captives will win.
Although soldiers are not tired of deception, they will not use tactics in this regard. Although they have often met each other at war over the years, the people of the two countries do not feel that tense.
You can still see foreign businessmen or some mixed-race people on the streets. Although it is now the Song Dynasty, the prosperous scene of the Tang Dynasty where all nations came to court has not completely faded in people's minds, and they still have some impressions.
Li Hanyun heard her words and said with a smile: "It's true. I don't understand it either. Our brothers all learned from my grandfather's Vice-General Lin. He can speak several languages and is very good at catching others." Lieutenant General Lin will interrogate any letters or other matters from the country's spies.
Grandfather also asked us to learn from him, so that we can use it whenever we meet in the future. The eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother all learned very well, but only the fourth brother and I couldn't learn it..."
After hearing this, Qingyan sighed in her heart, General Li's education was so advanced that he actually wanted his children and grandchildren to master several languages. He was really far-sighted.
Since someone who can speak Tubo is around, it just so happens that Li Hanqin has not gone to the front line yet, so let him translate the content of those words.
Chou Chou has memorized all the memories, not only today's events, but also the conversations between those people yesterday. When Chou Chou transmits the message, she will just retell it.
If there is any important information, it can be regarded as intercepted in advance and can be taken precautions in advance.
If it's useless, it's okay. Just treat it as gossip. It's better if it's okay and you can feel more at ease.
There’s no need to worry about this, since you’ll be going back after a short rest in the afternoon anyway, so you can ask about it during dinner in the evening, just say you heard it here.
She would have to find a chance to go out alone for a while, otherwise it would be hard to tell where she heard it. After all, she had been with them all the time, so she couldn't be the only one who heard it, and no one else could hear it.
Now that she's finished eating, it's definitely not possible to go out to eat, because Xue Huan'er won't let her go out alone, and will at least send a maid to follow her. It's hard to explain if she doesn't, so the best way is to escape.
He said it was okay to go to the toilet, but he didn't want to hold hands and go to the toilet together now. It would be very embarrassing, so he took advantage of this opportunity to sneak away and come back later.
After thinking about it, Qingyan whispered a few words to Xue Huan'er, nodded to the others and went out.
Everyone saw it, but it was tacitly understood. After all, with a man like Li Hanyun here, it was difficult to say it openly.
Li Hanyun was pestered by his eldest niece again, who asked him to continue talking about interesting things about his classmates, without paying any attention to them.
After Qingyan came out, it wasn't just for show, she really wanted to go to the toilet. The latrine was on the side of the fasting room, which faced north and south, and the toilet was in its northwest corner, close to the side wall.
At this time, it was a kind of dry toilet, which was made by digging a pit and setting up two wooden boards. Fortunately, because of the cold weather, there was no smell, and there were no fat children. It was also very clean, otherwise Qingyan would I don’t want to go to bed.
After using the toilet, she climbed over the wall and went out. The wall next to her was very short, only about 1.5 meters. After all, she was in a temple, so there was no need to build a high wall around her.
After coming out, there is an open space between the temple wall and it looks like ridges. It should have been used to grow vegetables.
She walked along the open space in the other direction, because she knew there was a suspicious person on the other side, so she couldn't pass by there to avoid alerting the enemy.
She was walking in the opposite direction, but within a few steps, she bumped into someone who had climbed over the wall like her.
The man was a man. He was obviously surprised when he saw her as soon as he landed. He obviously didn't expect that there was someone behind her.
Then he looked around and saw that she was the only one, so he calmed down, ignored Qingyan at all, and went directly in one direction.
Qingyan stood there and did not continue walking forward, because the direction the man was going was where she was going. If she continued walking, it would be as if she was following that man, so she should not ask for trouble.
This way and that direction. Let people see the front. I turned over to another round wall. So and so stared at him. After he moved home, he squatted down from the window behind the station building, as if eavesdropping. Now that I want to smoke, I sit on the table in the previous room after get off work every day, with two people sitting next to me. On the other hand, I am a middle-aged man, an old monk, and I live in the 7s on the river. The mountain cannon in Qingyuan City should be the monk in Qianyuan Temple, and it seems that he is the host. His beard and eyebrows turned white at night, so he must be quite old, but there are not many wrinkles on his face. Maybe it's because he's fat and white. It doesn't feel like a fairy. It's quite cute. A pair of eyes, good night. Even if he's not smiling, he still looks like he's smiling. This is two people playing chess. There was no dialogue. The New Year's Eve people are watching and thinking about how to take the next step. Then he went to sleep again and looked at him with a smile. He said he was carrying a pocket, which really meant it was gone.
