The Main Hall may be the only completed building in this new temple, and the decoration inside is basically completed. However, this hall is not a place to entertain guests, but is for nb Bodhisattvas. Therefore, there are no chairs or benches in the west hall, only a few A futon was spread on the floor.
Gao Pragmatic was naturally very progressive in his previous life, so he was an atheist. He had no respect for these things. He found the cleanest-looking futon and sat on it. If he hadn't considered that there were people opposite the statue, he would have He even wanted to put a few futons together in a row and lie down for a while, but at this moment he could only sit down and rest.
He was somewhat curious about the identities of the two female relatives who had not shown up in the temple, but he could not say that he had any intention of peeping. Because there are many Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in Nancheng, I guess they are just two wealthy women who went out to offer incense. They have nothing to do with him. When they go out after the rain and the sky clears up, they will never encounter them again in their lives.
But what he didn't expect was that he didn't care about the other party, but the other party cared about him.
Gao Yingshi had just sat down when the voice of the woman who had spoken before came from the statue in the Main Hall: "Xiaolian, you are the successor of Henan Province. I would like to ask you for some news?"
Huh?
Gao Jingshi was a little surprised, but he still responded: "If you have something to ask, it's okay to ask. However, the student rarely goes out when he is in his hometown. The student may not know what the lady wants to ask."
His tone was light, and even deliberately conveyed a sense of alienation. After all, the two parties were strangers to each other. If they were too enthusiastic, they might be misunderstood, which would have a great impact on Gao Longwen and Gao Jieyuan's Shilin Qingyu. You must know that this era is different from later generations. As a human being, having sex with a prostitute may be regarded as a refined thing, but molesting a good family is a matter of death.
However, the other party didn't seem to mind his alienation, and immediately asked: "I wonder if Xiaolian has ever heard of the Xinzheng Gao family?"
Eh? Why are you still asking about coming to my house? Could it be that the elder in the other party's family is still a "high party member"?
Gao pragmatically responded: "Miss, you are joking. Since the student is a member of the Henan Province, he naturally knows the Xinzheng Gao family."
That is, if the Henan people from the Long and Wan dynasties don't even know about the Xinzheng Gao family, they might as well not read it.
The young lady's voice came again: "Do you know if anyone from Xinzheng's Gao family passed the exam? There is a man named Gao Pragmatic. Did he pass the exam?"
Well, not only ask Xinzheng Gao family, but also directly ask me? I don’t seem to know you, let alone know you, I haven’t even heard your voice!
Gao pragmatic became a little interested and laughed: "Is Xinzheng Gao pragmatic? He won the exam. He is a bachelor of Henan Jieyuan."
"why are you laughing?"
"Ah! Zhong Jieyuan?"
This time it was better, two voices came at once.
What's even more interesting is that the previous voice sounded young, but the additional voice this time seemed to be even younger. With a pragmatic ear, the owner of this new voice may not be old enough.
Gao pragmatic smiled and said: "Why, is there anything wrong with Gao pragmatic understanding of Yuan?"
This sentence was obviously an answer to the younger-sounding voice, but the other person did not answer this time.
However, the voice that had been asking questions before asked again with some dissatisfaction: "You haven't answered what I asked you? Why were you laughing just now? Also, since you are Henan Jieyuan, then you are the leader of Wu Jing Kui and Yi Sheng. Set an example, how can you call him by his first name? Could it be that you, a filial and honest person, failed the exam and are jealous? "
"Hey, this young lady, please don't try to prove someone's innocence out of thin air. How can the students be jealous of him? No matter how good he is in the exam, the students will never be jealous at all."
"Really?" The voice sounded very suspicious: "What is your relationship with him? Are you of the same race or classmate?"
"Yeah, I'm just very familiar with him." Gao Pingshi replied casually, and then immediately interrupted: "The two young ladies asked him alone without asking anyone else. Could it be that there is some connection with him in the family?"
The young lady smiled and said: "Of course there is a source. My two sisters are very familiar with him."
What?
You know me as hell! I've never heard your voices before, do you sound familiar in your dreams? Besides, we have talked so much. If you are familiar with me, can you not recognize my voice?
Gao pragmatic frowned, wondering whether to expose this girl's nonsense.
The young lady waited for a while and saw that Gao Pragmatic was speechless. She couldn't help but wonder: "Hey, Xiaolian, why don't you speak? Could it be that you are not familiar with him at all and are you afraid of being exposed by us?"
Gao Jingshi was speechless and said angrily: "The student is just thinking, Gao Jingshi didn't tell the students that he knew you two, uh, what are your surnames, ladies?"
There seemed to be a whisper on the other side of the statue, and then the slightly older lady replied with a smile: "I shouldn't have told you at first, but since you are very familiar with Gao Pragmatic, you can give him some thin noodles. My sister’s surname is Yao.”
Your surname is Yao?
Gao pragmatic thought hard. Although I know many high-ranking officials and dignitaries, it seems that no family named Yao meets the requirement of daring to employ eunuchs?
After a while, the young lady asked with some dissatisfaction: "You are so filial and honest, you really don't know how to be polite. Why did you keep silent while talking?"
Gao Pingshi was interrupted by her, and he couldn't remember anymore, and he said angrily: "I'm not talking about whether students know how to be polite. Miss, your etiquette is not very good."
"Me?" The lady was quite surprised: "Why don't I understand etiquette?"
"You just scolded the students for calling Gao Jieyuan by his first name, but haven't you always called him by his first name? Is this the etiquette of a young lady?"
"Oh, what you said seems to make sense." The young lady thought for a while and asked, "But he resigned last year. I can't call him Gao Guanzheng, and he doesn't seem to have expressed his identity yet. Do I still want to call him Gao?" Xinzheng? That’s the name for Mr. Gao. Even if I dare to call him, I’m afraid he won’t dare to respond, right?”
Gao pragmatic sighed and said: "Miss Yao, you two don't seem to be very well informed. The Henan examiner, Yu Gong, who is Gao pragmatic's tutor, has given him a cousin, Qiu Zhen. "
"A gift from Mr. Yu?" Ms. Yao was startled for a moment, and then, as if she had gained some pragmatism, she loudly said, "Since you know that he means "Qi Zhen", why do you still call him by his first name?
"Uh" Gao Pingshi was speechless for a moment and didn't even bother to make it up. He sighed and said, "Of course I can call him by his first name, because I..."
Before Gao Qingshi finished his sentence, he suddenly heard a servant of the Gao family at the door shout: "Who is it!"
Immediately afterwards, a somewhat familiar male voice came coldly: "If you don't want to scare your master, you'd better not draw your sword in front of me."
