As soon as Zhang Shan said this, Chang Sheng himself was not the only one who was embarrassed. Zhang Mo was ashamed and annoyed, "Brother, what are you talking about?"
Zhang Shan did not answer Zhang Mo's words, but said, "Take care of yourself and we'll leave immediately."
Zhang Shan's toughness made Zhang Mo dissatisfied. He turned aside and said, "You go, I won't leave, I will stay and take care of him."
"Although he is weak and thin, he can move freely and does not need you to take care of him." Zhang Shan said.
"Yes." Zhang Mo retorted eagerly.
"No need." Zhang Shan said seriously.
"Let him speak for himself," Zhang Mo turned to look at Changsheng, "Changsheng, do you need me to stay and take care of you?"
"Use!" As soon as Changsheng spoke, he found Zhang Shan looking at him seriously. His awe for Zhang Shan came from the bottom of his heart, not only because Zhang Shan was the Heavenly Master of the Supreme Purity, but also because Zhang Shan had also saved his own life. , seeing Zhang Shan’s serious expression, he was instantly discouraged and said, “It’s okay if you don’t use it.”
Seeing that he shamelessly wanted to stay, but Changsheng actually gave in, Zhang Mo glared at him fiercely.
Realizing that Zhang Mo was angry, Changsheng thought anxiously in his heart and tried to find an excuse to save the situation. At this moment, Zhang Shan said, "I was planning to send you out of the cabinet after the dust has settled, but now it seems that it will be a while." It can’t be finished, so let’s do it this way, everyone is busy right now, so I have to take some time to make up for your wedding as soon as possible.”
As soon as Zhang Shan said this, Chang Sheng and Zhang Mo were instantly discouraged, because although the two of them had been granted marriage by the emperor, they had never held a wedding. The word "replacement" by Zhang Shan also showed that he had a keen eye and knew what he should and should not. Everyone who knows knows it.
Seeing the frustration on their faces, Zhang Shan spoke up and said, "Zhang Mo is currently in his boudoir, so he should follow me."
"That's what the elder brother said." Changsheng nodded and said. As the saying goes, etiquette cannot be abolished, and Taoist priests pay special attention to etiquette. Now that the Heavenly Master has taken over, the eldest brother is like a father. Zhang Shan has the responsibility to protect Zhang Mo. However, after getting married, Zhang Shan It was time for Mo to follow him.
Zhang Shan didn't say anything else. He walked to the desk, picked up his luggage and walked out. "Pack it quickly. I'll wait for you at the door."
After all the talk, Zhang Mo had no choice but to leave. She only brought a small baggage with her and didn't need to pack anything. Zhang Shan's so-called asking her to pack was actually just to leave some time for her to get along with Changsheng. Talk about yourself.
Although Zhang Mo contradicted Zhang Shan, the relationship between the two brothers and sisters was very deep. He was worried that he would resent Zhang Shan forever, so Zhang Mo said softly, "Brother is not unreasonable, he has his own considerations. After all, we are Taoist priests, and everything we say and do matters." To the reputation of Longhu Mountain and even the Qing Sect."
"I understand what you mean, and I don't blame brother." Changsheng said. The two of them are of different generations and have already been criticized. If another child gets pregnant out of wedlock, she will really become the laughing stock of the world.
Zhang Mo reached out and pulled out the hairpin from Changsheng's head, poured spiritual energy into it and inserted it back in. "Okay, I have to go. The days are long and the days are long."
Changsheng had left a spiritual token for Zhang Mo before, but he didn't leave it again this time. The meeting was so brief, so he was naturally reluctant to leave, but he also knew that the two of them needed to rush back to Luoyang to clean up the aftermath. There was so much reluctance in my heart that I could only bid farewell and see her off in person.
Zhang Shan and Zhang Mo did not ride the white crane this time, but rode two war horses. Not knowing why, they asked casually, "Where is the crane?"
Zhang Mo sighed, "I thought it would never be found, but it was found after all."
Hearing Zhang Mo's words, Changsheng's heart suddenly sank. On that day, Master Zhang was riding a crane, and the war in Hanzhong was intense. Zhang Shan could not get away, so Zhang Mo drove the female crane back to Longhu Mountain for the funeral. When passing by Tangzi Mountain, he was greeted by the Hanzhong Festival. Du sent a group of aliens recruited by Yang Shouliang to intercept and attack the female crane. The female crane was seriously injured and died. Afterwards, he buried the female crane properly as Zhang Mo said and tried to isolate her breath. The reason why he did this was because he was worried that the male crane would learn that the female crane was dead. He would die in grief, but he never thought that the male crane would eventually find the burial place of the female crane and confirm that she was dead. The situation that Zhang Mo tried so hard to avoid finally happened.
Datou and others were resting in their respective residences. They didn't know that Zhang Shan and Zhang Mo were leaving, so they didn't come out to see them off. Changsheng saw them off alone, then stood outside the door and watched them mount their horses and leave.
After the two disappeared, Changsheng called the housekeeper, wrote down a prescription, and ordered him to take the medicine for him. In a few days, he and Datou and others will go to Gupo Mountain, and there will definitely be a bloody battle with the Japanese pirates there. But now His vitality was severely damaged, his body was weak and he needed to be recuperated as soon as possible.
Although he had just woken up, Changsheng still went back to his room and slept again after writing the prescription. As the saying goes, it is not a day that freezes three feet. In the previous three months since Silla, even though he drank ginseng soup and died, he almost died. The rice has not been eaten, the qi and blood are severely overdrawn, and the energy is not as good as before.
In the evening, everyone got up one after another, packed up and rushed to the banquet building. Because the horses were tired from the long journey, everyone did not ride them, but the palace's own horses.
Although there is famine in various parts of the Tang Dynasty, the Banquet House is still overcrowded. The food and wine here are extremely expensive and can be called extravagant. The poet Du Fu more than a hundred years ago once described the wealthy people as "the wine and meat in the Zhumen are smelly, and the roads are frozen to death". The luxury of the poor and the hardship of the poor cannot be said to be right, nor can it be said that what he said is wrong. It can only be said that what he said is one-sided, because the rich are not necessarily bad people, as long as their money comes from the right way. We cannot criticize without reason and demand that they live frugally like the poor.
Changsheng was in a position of power at this time. When he learned that he was coming to have dinner, the banquet hall was "as if facing a formidable enemy" and "prepared to prepare". As soon as everyone appeared on the street, the shopkeeper led his waiters to greet them, respectful and frightened.
When Batulu was arrested from Qingyang, the soldiers brought the iron rod to Chang'an for auction. After selling the iron rod, those soldiers came to Yanbinlou to buy wine. In order to trace the source of the iron rod, Datou once threatened Yan. Although Datou has now resigned as the supervisory censor of the Bin Building, the staff here still have fresh memories of him clamoring to close the banquet building with his arms akimbo. In fact, it doesn’t really matter whether a person is tall or short. What matters is dignity. .
Wu Yusheng and Song Cai had arrived first and were waiting for tea in the elegant room. Huang Silang was the guest of honor today. After Huang Silang introduced Wu Yusheng and Song Cai, everyone took their seats respectively.
Changsheng was the master, so the maid handed him the menu she had prepared in advance. Just taking a look at the menu, Changsheng had mixed feelings in his heart, because the twelve dishes on the menu were all the ones Ni Chenyi had prepared to celebrate his martial arts achievements last time. The dishes at the banquet for the first prize winner, and even the tea were the Emei Chunlu I drank last time.
Datou was sitting next to Changsheng. When he saw Changsheng holding the menu in a daze, he turned his head and took a look. He was there when he ate last time. When he saw that the dishes on the menu were exactly the same as before, he thought that the restaurant was fooling them and was about to choose. He was furious, but Chang Sheng stopped him with a wave of his hand, and returned the menu to the maids, asking them to serve the dishes as ordered.
This meal was to see Huang Silang off, and there was little business to talk about during the dinner. Wu Yusheng also knew the purpose of Changsheng's invitation, so he talked to Huang Silang about the people's livelihood and customs in various places in the Tang Dynasty, while Datou asked Song Cai for advice on opening a restaurant. How to plan.
The last time Ni Chenyi invited them to dinner was in autumn, and now it is summer. It is not easy to store autumn and winter mature fruits like fire crystal persimmons until now. They need to be kept in an underground ice cellar with ice cubes. Although it is the same The dishes vary in season and have different degrees of rarity. Chang Sheng would not mistakenly think that this was the only menu in the Tianzihao room. The reason why the restaurant drafted such a menu was because they still remembered what he had eaten the last time he came here. What.
After three drinks and five dishes, the atmosphere became completely relaxed. Shi Xuanming had a good drinking capacity. He had been poisoned after Chang Sheng disappeared, and it was Huang Silang who helped him detoxify him. He was grateful and drank with Huang Silang. At first It was just a companionship, but later it became a drinking party.
Changsheng took the opportunity to leave the room and ordered the maid to call the shopkeeper. He wanted to recruit some brewing masters and cooking cooks from the banquet hall. He had to ask for this in person.
After a while, the shopkeeper arrived. After nervously greeting him, he turned sideways and shivered.
Seeing that the shopkeeper was so nervous, Changsheng said casually, "No need to be nervous, this menu you..."
Changsheng wanted to take the opportunity to express his gratitude to the shopkeeper, but before he could finish his words, the shopkeeper fell to his knees in fright, "Your Majesty, the common people must not deceive the prince. In the afternoon, Shopkeeper Song from the Taiping Inn came and gave the ordinary people gold. Twelve, instruct us to prepare according to the menu from the last banquet hosted by Miss Ni."
Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Changsheng suddenly realized that this menu was secretly instructed by Song Cai. He also knew why Song Cai did this. He just hoped that he would miss people after seeing things and think of Ni Chenyi again.
Song Cai's move was aimed at trying to bring him and Ni Chenyi together. As a servant of the Ni family, Song Cai was understandable in doing so. Changsheng naturally would not embarrass the shopkeeper and laughed it off. Then he told the shopkeeper the real purpose of calling him here.
As the saying goes, it is really good to be good to everyone. Changsheng will not ask for other people's wine masters and cooks in vain. He will finance it himself, and Yanbinlou hires people. The operating income will be divided 50-50, half of it will be given to Yanbinlou and half will be left to Huang Silang. Access expenses.
Just as Changsheng was discussing the details with the shopkeeper, the maid suddenly screamed outside, "There is a monster..."
