Chapter 57 How to spend the long night?
Chapter 57: How to spend the long night.
Poor Su Mingjue thought that after the ceremony, they could go back to their homes to find their mothers, but who knew that this was just the beginning.
First, after he came out, he was pulled away by officials from the Ministry of Rites to greet him, and then several court officials stopped him and wanted to discuss the theory of "ruling the country with crickets" with him.
Su Mingjue had no official position and was just a student. Naturally, he would say whatever the group wanted to ask.
I don’t know whether the group of people really wanted to have a passionate discussion or just wanted to show it to the emperor. In short, they dragged him and chatted for a long time.
Adhering to the principle of saying too much and making mistakes, Su Mingjue chose the snake oil model. For example, someone said, "After listening to you, I realized that governing a country is the same as controlling insects."
How can Su Mingjue reply that this is not nonsense? He is not just talking nonsense.
But the person in front of him was an official, so he could only echo a few words: "That's true." Well, the students thought so too. "Yes, that's what it means." "
But despite this, Su Mingjue still spent a lot of energy. After coping with it for a while, he was exhausted.
However, it was not over yet. When he was dragging himself to get into the carriage, an official from the Ministry of Rites stopped him in a hurry. He came down and said, "Student Su, according to the rules of the Central Sacrifice, you need to stay overnight at Wenchang Temple today. "
Su Mingjue: ""
He was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why?"
The official of the Ministry of Rites responded: "Because the palace is newly renovated, talented people are needed to gather talents." "
Su Mingjue: "!"
Su Mingjue was really surprised. She had heard that new houses would need people to warm them, but she didn't expect that new temples would also need people to warm them. She was
tired, sleepy and hungry after a long day, and Su Mingjue looked like he was discussing it . He said: "Today I saw that Mr. Rong Zheng, who is all over the capital, is also here. Maybe you can ask him to stay."
Rong Zheng, Rong Zheng, don't blame me for betraying you. It's really my little five internal organs temple if you don't get some food. , is about to become a land temple.
The official said with a slight smile on his face: "Master Su is really thoughtful, but our officials from the Ministry of Rites have already told him about this, and he is resting in the wing right now. "
Su Mingjue: "..."
He refused to give up and said: "What about Mr. Lu? He was the number one scholar in the past. With such a great talent, he must be able to gather a lot of talents.
The official nodded slightly: "Exactly, Mr. Lu is already in the wing at this moment. " Su
Mingjue struggled and said: "Actually... I was just lucky enough to write that policy paper, and I can't be considered a talented person."
The official said with a gentle voice: "Student Su is just joking, and he has been favored by the saints. How could he not be the one?" Talented man"
he said was riding a tiger. The emperor has recognized you, why are you so humble?
Su Mingjue had no choice but to lift his feet off the horse stool of the carriage, and then said to Su Xiaoliu and Mu Li next to him: "Then You two, come with me!"
As soon as the words were said, before Su Xiaoliu and Mu Li responded, the official spoke: "To show his sincerity, Mr. Su is not allowed to bring servants to serve him when he stays in the wing at night. "
Su Mingjue: "..."
This is not a rule.
The other party looked at him calmly with a smile. Su Mingjue had to take a deep breath, forced herself to swallow it, and then faced the two people beside the carriage. The man waved his hand, "Just go back! Come pick me up tomorrow." "
After explaining, he reluctantly followed the steps of the officials from the Ministry of Etiquette and walked to the backyard of the temple.
In the wild mountains and ridges of the eastern suburbs, there was nothing to kill, and he didn't know how to spend the long night in
the wing. It was originally the young novice monk of the temple who led the way. I don't know if he was afraid that he would run away, but the official from the Ministry of Rites who was walking in front took him all the way to his room.
After being tired and hungry for a day, his stomach started growling when he reached the door of the wing. He stood up.
Su Mingjue blushed rarely, and the official who brought him laughed heartily, and then said: "Student Su has been busy all day and has not eaten yet. It is understandable. I will send someone to give you something delicious." The meals come. "
At this juncture, Su Mingjue didn't refuse. He nodded immediately and said: "Thank you, sir. I'm quite hungry today. Please tell me, please give me more of the wild vegetables and wowotou. It tastes very delicious. "
Speaking of which, the wild vegetable steamed buns were not that delicious. Su Mingjue tasted a few at noon, but they were all vegetarian dishes. They were very bland and lacked oil and water, so she had to use the steamed buns to wrap her belly.
The official nodded and left. Su Mingjue
secretly thought that he was in charge of the etiquette department. It was a comfortable
place to talk and do things. There was a couch against the wall and a small round table in front of him.
The plaque was smashed and he still felt a slight pain. He was about to take off his clothes and take a look when there was no one around him. As
soon as he loosened his belt, someone knocked on the door.
He thought it was the courtesy officer bringing food . Thinking that the other party wouldn't be able to stay long, he turned his back and said, "Come in! The door is unlocked. "
The man heard the sound, then pushed the door open and came in, followed by a soft voice: "Mingjue, I brought this meal to you. "
Su Mingjue was taking off his clothes. When he heard someone calling his name, his hands trembled for a moment. The clothes that were not hanging on his shoulders instantly spread out, and his white jade skin slanted out.
The man seemed to He didn't expect to encounter such a situation. He paused for a moment and then said slowly: "Su...Brother Su, are you changing clothes?"
Su Mingjue listened to the voice and roughly guessed who it was, even though he was shirtless. He didn't think anything of it, after all, there were so many people in modern society, but it was indeed a bit rude to see people like this in ancient times.
He picked up his clothes in an instant, then tied a knot randomly, and then walked up to the person. Said: "Baili Xi, why are you here?"
Baili Xi moved away from his jade-like shoulders wrapped in cloth with some pity, put the tray in his hand on the round table and said, "I met a young novice monk on the road. He said he wanted to deliver food to you, so I picked it up as he passed by. "
Su Mingjue sat down along the table, said thank you, and then said: "It's getting late. It's better for you to go home early to avoid accidents on the dark and windy night.
Baili Xi took out the dishes from the tray and said meekly: "I won't go back today. Today I discussed Buddhism and Zen with Master Fahui. He warmly stayed with me. " "
Master Fahui is a famous Zen sect in the capital. He has very high attainments in Buddhism. Many people like to discuss academic theories with him. He is cheerful and informal, and he likes to stay with others when he is happy.
Su Mingjue looked at the food on the table and said: "Then Master Fahui is in Xinghua Temple, isn't he?"
Baili Xi said with a warm smile: "Due to the request of the Ministry of Rites, Master Fahui has come to Wenchang Temple from Xinghua Temple to gather talents. "
Su Mingjue didn't know much about him. After chatting for a while, he was really hungry. He hurriedly grabbed the wowotou on the table and ate it. Before stuffing it into his mouth, he didn't forget to give one to Baili Xi. "Have you had your meal? Do you want some wild vegetable steamed buns?"
Baili laughed and took a bite. Su Mingjue was already going crazy with hunger. Seeing him eating, she didn't greet him anymore. She raised her hand to the table and put a porcelain cup on it. Just as he was about to take a sip of the porridge in the bowl, he felt an alarming pain in his shoulder, and couldn't help but "hiss".
Baili Xi saw that his brows were furrowed and he had a painful expression on his face, so
he quickly asked: "What's wrong?" Su Mingjue put down the bowl and took a breath of cold air and said, "I don't know, I guess it's my shoulder."
Baili Xi Xi Wenyan stood up and said with concern: "Let's take a look."
Su Mingjue felt that the place where he was injured was at the connection between the collarbone and the shoulder, but the pain was so severe that he could not untie the knot he had just tied with one hand, so he He said to Baili Xi,
"Please help me take off my clothes. I'm in pain and can't move for a while."
When Baili Xi heard this, he reached out to take off the other person's clothes.
Before he could completely untie it, the door was pushed open again, and a cold voice sounded in the narrow room: "What are you doing?"

Guess who will appear?
