Volume 19: Legend of Lu Xiaofeng Chapter 472 Bitter Melon Vegetarian Banquet
June.
Four months passed in the blink of an eye.
Su Weiyun was still embroidering, but Xiao Ma was already bored to death. He would look for a fight with Deng Dinghou every day, but sometimes Deng Dinghou was not willing to fight with him.
He had also competed with Xue Bing several times, but he was too embarrassed to actually fight a woman, so he had to suffer a little loss on purpose.
Fortunately, Xiao Ma had been a young marquis for many years and had finally learned some ways to be patient, so he managed to endure the four months.
Xiao Ma asks every day: "When are we going to rescue Brother Ding Xi? Where is Brother Ding Xi?"
But Su Weiyun didn't answer him.
Because Su Weiyun didn't know where Ding Xi was exactly, it was even more impossible for her to go looking for him.
Since he has already guessed this earth-shaking and heart-touching plan, he must not act rashly.
Because from the perspective of time, this scheme was most likely already planned ten years before he disappeared.
A large and interconnected scheme that has been laid out for a full decade may not be difficult for him to decipher now; but there is no doubt that all the links must be firmly grasped in the hands of the planner.
He could destroy everything at any time, but Su Weiyun couldn't.
Su Weiyun could only respond to all changes by remaining unchanged, pretending to be unaware and continuing to embroider his flowers.
If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move either.
Since someone wants to harm him, he just needs to stay calm, and the mastermind behind the scenes will definitely not be able to resist and take action again.
…
The weather in June is exceptionally hot.
Xiao Ma came to find Su Weiyun again. He was covered in sweat, as if he had just run back from a long distance.
"Brother Su, stop embroidering. I don't want any clothes anymore. We have endured from spring to summer. Why don't you go and rescue Brother Ding Xi?"
Su Weiyun said calmly: "We have waited for ten years, don't be so impatient. This kind of thing is like embroidery, only slow work can produce fine work."
"Look."
He held up the cut red dress in his hand. There was a phoenix embroidered on it, but the needle had not yet been moved on.
The thickness and arrangement of the stitches of the "Phoenix" are of course much worse than those on Mrs. Xue's handkerchief; but the posture of this "Phoenix" is very vivid, especially the eyes made of purple lines, which are faintly majestic and full of charm.
Su Weiyun said, "I followed Mrs. Xue's advice and traveled all the way to the capital to buy these needles and threads from Fu Ji. It is said that only real experts would buy satin and threads from there."
"Look, the embroidery is really good. Although I am not an expert, I know how to listen to the experts."
Xiao Ma almost fell to the ground and sighed, "Brother Su, I finally surrender to you. Forget it, I'll go find Marquis Deng Ding."
He had just taken two steps when Su Weiyun called him.
"No need to go, Marquis Deng Ding has already left."
Xiao Ma shouted, "Gone? Where did he go? Why didn't he call me?!"
In the past few months, Xiao Ma had nothing to do and often pestered Deng Dinghou. Instead, he regarded him as a good friend who could fight and carry on.
How could he not be angry when his best friend went out to play alone without telling him?
Su Weiyun said: "He went back to the Zhenyuan Escort Agency."
Xiao Ma asked in confusion, "Why did he return to the Zhenyuan Escort Agency? Didn't he resign from the position of Chief Escort Agency a long time ago?"
Su Weiyun said, "Because something happened at the Zhenyuan Escort Agency, we had to ask him again. It is said that the deputy chief escort Chang Mantian was blinded by a thief ."
Xiao Ma opened his mouth wide and asked, "Did you go blind because of the embroidery? Is it the embroidery of flowers?"
Su Weiyun said: "Of course it's the embroidery. Now you finally know that embroidery can also be done in a famous way."
Xiao Ma retorted unwillingly: "Embroidery can certainly make a name for itself, but I'm afraid there's no other man in the world who can embroider except you!"
Su Weiyun smiled and said, "You are wrong again. The person who blinded Chang Mantian happened to be a grown man."
This time Xiao Ma was completely speechless.
Su Weiyun had already stood up, put the red wedding dress on him, and said with a smile: "Put on your clothes, we should go."
"Walk?"
"Someone is inviting us to dinner, do you want to go?"
"Go, of course! It would be a waste if you don't eat it!"
…
Incense was burning in the Zen room.
The person who invited us to dinner actually invited us to the Zen room.
Moreover, he had already made an appointment with Su Weiyun five days in advance, so he was quite arrogant.
It seems that Su Weiyun is quite arrogant.
He was the last to arrive.
He walked into the yard when the last clear bell rang.
The bamboo forest in the yard swayed, the evening breeze blew, and the summer heat had long been isolated from the world.
When he entered the yard, there were already three people waiting quietly.
Two of them are quite old, and only one is still very young.
When Su Weiyun entered the room, the young man said, "This person must be the hero Su Weiyun. Hua Manlou has met the hero Su."
As soon as he spoke, the other two old men looked at him.
Su Weiyun nodded slightly and said, "It's Su Weiyun."
Hua Manlou has already introduced the remaining two people: "This one is the ancient pine hermit from Huangshan, and the other one is the Wudang Taoist priest who is known as the best in Go, second in poetry and wine, and third in swordsmanship."
Taoist Mu was wearing a spotless blue cloth shirt. When he saw Su Weiyun, he actually stood up and saluted.
"I heard of Master Su's name ten years ago. It's a pity that I haven't seen him in such a long time."
With his martial arts skills, status, and qualifications, he didn't need to be so polite to Su Weiyun, so his actions surprised the Gusong monk next to him.
Su Weiyun said, "I dare not, the name of Mu Dao Ren is ten times better than the 'Man-eating Lion King'."
Then he took his pony and sat on the stone bench in the yard.
The three of them looked at the pony in bright red clothes and felt that it was a little strange, but they were all well-educated people and did not ask any questions.
Hua Manlou sat next to Su Weiyun, with a faint scent of incense on his body, which was both pleasant and elegant. He explained to Su Weiyun: "Master Kugua is still in the kitchen, please wait for a moment, Mr. Su."
The banquet was arranged by Master Bitter Melon, who was a well-known vegetarian banquet expert. He never cooked for others easily, so this was a rare occasion.
Su Weiyun said: "It's worth waiting. Master Bitter Melon's cooking skills are worth waiting for."
He is also a chef, so he also wants to taste the master's craftsmanship.
The bamboo curtains in the Zen room were hung low, and even through the curtains, the mouth-watering aroma could not be concealed.
The food seems to be ready.
Taoist Mu sighed, "No wonder Bitter Melon once said that his vegetarianism would make even the Bodhisattva feel moved."
Su Weiyun laughed and said, "Hahahaha, I'm not a Bodhisattva. Not only has my heart been moved, but my body is also moving."
He was the first to lift the curtain and enter, only to see someone already inside eating and drinking heartily.
Su Weiyun ignored the man completely, but sat down, picked up a pair of chopsticks casually, and started to eat from a plate of pot-sticked tofu.
“It’s really delicious!”
He said something and the person next to him noticed him.
The man stared at him carefully for a long time and asked, "Who are you? Why are you allowed in?"
Su Weiyun moved his hands very quickly, and while he was talking, he had already picked up three pieces of tofu and two pieces of cabbage.
Upon seeing this, the man dared not say anything anymore, but hurriedly dealt with the delicious food in front of him.
