After resigning, I switched to fortune-telling

Chapter 11

The maid, Jianshuang, covered her mouth and smiled: "Your Majesty, what is there to embarrass, of course, Mr. Yao's invitation is more important. If you miss this village, you won't have this shop."

If you don't leave important matters behind to find Mr. Yao, how can you prove the other party's status in the heart of Shi Ziye?

The prince obviously thought so too.

So he decided to go see Zhang Daoshi's master first.

Zhang Daoshi's master was also surnamed Zhang.

In other words, Taoist Zhang followed his master's surname.

Let's call Taoist Zhang's master Zhang Xianshi for the time being.Zhang Xianshi's Taoism is much more advanced than Zhang Taoist who calls himself Zhang Banxian.He was nearly sixty years old, but his complexion was rosy, his hair was not gray, and he was full of vigor, like a man in his early forties.

It's not at all like Zhang Daoshi said he was dying of illness.

Especially when Master Zhang Xian rolled up his sleeves and beat his apprentice.

"Guawazi, dare to curse your master that I'm going back to the west! Why don't you say that you are going to see the King of Hades at midnight tonight?"

"Master, I was wrong! Master! Stop beating me!"

Daoist Zhang ran around the yard with his head in his arms.

Xie Tangru said "tsk", the guard moved a chair for him, and the maid handed over a plate of melon seeds, and he sat under the grape arbor and slowly ate melon seeds to watch the scene where the master taught the disciples, and he also gave some leisurely comments.

"Master Zhang Xian must have had a lot of conversations with my father."

Daoist Zhang begged for mercy while scolding Wei Guogong's son in his heart for being extremely hypocritical.

brazen!

When Xie Tang finished eating most of the plate like melon seeds, Master Zhang Xian stopped panting, straightened his clothes, waved the dust whisk, and gestured to salute: "My apprentice is incompetent, let the prince laugh at me."

"Immortal masters don't need to be polite."

To the elderly, Xie Tangru has always had a kinder attitude than others.He returned a Taoist gift, "It's just that I heard Taoist Zhang say that the immortal master has been seriously ill recently, so I thought that the famous doctors in Beijing might be able to treat the immortal master. I didn't expect Taoist Zhang to be childlike, so he made a joke. Hastily invited the immortal master over."

"It just so happens that my father has always respected the immortal family, so I think he welcomes Master Zhang very much. I don't know if Master Zhang is willing to stay in the mansion for a while, so as to fulfill my father's wish."

What he said was neither humble nor overbearing, which was many times better than his attitude towards Taoist Zhang.Taoist Zhang looked at his master eagerly, and his master pondered for a while, then nodded in agreement.

In fact, if he disagreed with the result, nothing would change. The hidden guards were waiting outside the yard.

"Then arrange Master Zhang's residence next to my father's yard." Xie Tangru told the people around him, "Jian Shuang, take Master Zhang there."

"Yes."

After leaving Taoist Zhang's courtyard, Xie Tangru hummed unhurriedly.

The guard followed two steps behind him.

The silvery moonlight sprinkles from the hollow, spreads like water in the courtyard, the shadows of the flowers are luxuriant, and the weaver girl hides in the shadow of the moonlight.

Xie Tang jingled like the ring around his waist.

The guard held back all the way, and finally asked: "Why didn't the prince directly torture that fairy master?"

"Torture?" Xie Tangru turned around in surprise, "We are not the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. It is not for a gentleman to use lynching."

The guard said in his heart that you are not a gentleman.

Xie Tangru opened the folding fan in his hand, and on the fan was a painting of a landscape painting with splashed ink, with two poems inscribed on the upper left corner.If you look closely, you can find that the inscription is not a serious poem, but an erotic poem that is only circulated in romantic places.

Call him absurd.

The smile that didn't reach his eyes cooled down and melted into the boundless moonlight.

Everyone is in hand, so naturally there is no rush.

Rabbits will jump over walls when they are in a hurry, let alone people?And he thinks that Zhang Xianshi is much smarter than his apprentice.

Maybe he can get the answer he wants without going through many twists and turns.

Thoughts passed in a flash, Xie Tangru raised his hand and folded his folding fan, "You go down first, Brother Yao invited me to drink, I should also go to accept the appointment."

The smile that appeared in his eyes suddenly changed when he said this sentence, and it was a bit more real.

The banquet is ready.

In addition to the unopened fine wine that can smell the faint mellow aroma, there are also a few small dishes that go with the wine, and Lingnan white porcelain cups that match the fine wine and food.

...It's just that the intertwined branches and lotus patterns on these cups are not so suitable for the occasion.

I don't know which careless girl actually found such a set of porcelain.

Xie Tangru moved his gaze away calmly.

"Brother Yao, I could already smell the aroma of this wine before I entered the yard. It must be good wine. I'm afraid it's even better than the pear blossom white that is treasured in the world!"

"It's just ordinary sake, not as good as pear blossom white pure fragrance, but it also has a special flavor."

He didn't lie, this wine is indeed not a valuable wine, but the most common spirit produced in the Northland.Because the climate in the Northland is cold, wine can warm the body, and the wine brewed in the Northland is stronger than that in the capital.

Yao Shang filled the wine glass for him as he spoke: "However, this kind of wine is extremely strong, so my son should not drink too much."

As a dandy who is proficient in eating, drinking, and having fun, Xie Tangru has more experience in drinking than others: "I drink very well, Brother Yao, don't worry. I will definitely not get drunk tonight."

"Drinking too much can hurt your health." Yao Shang persuaded him, "Besides, this wine is different from ordinary wine. Ordinary people can get drunk after three drinks at most, and even people with a good capacity for alcohol can't finish this jar."

Xie Tangru toasted him, "Then let's get drunk."

Yao Shang looked down at him, the young man's eyebrows were flirtatious, like the harsh spring breeze coming and going in the north, never tender and affectionate, but the grass and trees revived everywhere.

"it is good."

He smiles and raises his glass.

"No drunk, no return."

After drinking half of the wine, the two of them sat on the roof at some point.

Xie Tangru was too lazy to pour the wine, so he directly poured the wine down his throat with the wine jar in his arms——for something like strong wine, it would be tasteless to sip it carefully one by one.

"I haven't asked Brother Yao yet, what is the name of this wine?"

Yao Shang stared at Xie Tangru's side face, the crown was loose, black hair was scattered on the side of the face, and the crystal wine flowed down the white neck into the collar.

Even if Xie Tangru is not a well-behaved family member, his appearance has always been neat enough, and his appearance like this tonight is really rare.

"Drunk in the spring breeze."

A drunken spring breeze wakes up, ten miles of ice and snow gather.

Strongest wine in the North.

"What an elegant name." Xie Tang smiled, and took another sip of wine after speaking, "Today's moon is also very beautiful."

There is no connection between these two sentences.If Xie Tangru usually said a sentence with at least ten or eight twists in his heart, he would definitely not say such a straightforward sentence.

But after drinking strong alcohol, even the spring breeze can get drunk, let alone people?

"It's really beautiful, but the moon in the Northland is bigger and rounder than that in the Imperial Capital." He answered, "It's also colder."

"The moon in the north?" Xie Tangru thought for a while, "I've never seen it before."

"If there is a chance, I will take you there."

Xie Tangru's mind was a little stagnant, he slowly shook his head and opened his mouth: "...No."

"I can't go to the North yet."

"why?"

"There's someone out there that I really hate."

"Very annoying?"

Xie Tangru thought for a long time, then nodded affirmatively: "Very annoying! He will bully me."

"It's okay." Yao Shang looked at him with his face propped up, Xie Tangru was already a little dizzy, and subconsciously turned in his direction.Yao Shang reached out to catch him.

"I will protect you."

Xie Tangru held his hair in the palm of his hand.

"I don't believe it, only I can protect myself."

"But it doesn't matter." He propped up his body and rubbed his dizzy forehead. "When I kill him, we can go to the north to see the moon."

he said cheerfully.

"Why don't you believe me?" Yao Shang frowned, he was still struggling with Xie Tangru's last sentence.

Xie Tangru tilted her head when she heard the words, struggling to understand the meaning of his words.He has developed a habit of thinking for a long time so that he did not directly answer this question.

He said: "If you are willing to give me the most important thing in you, I am willing to believe you."

That's a rogue request.

And it's out of the ordinary.

But Yao Shang thought about it and agreed.He took out a small seal from his sleeve pocket and put it in the palm of Xie Tangru's outstretched hand.

The private seal made of gold is very important, Xie Tangru almost missed it.

Xie Tangru looked down, and then looked at him with open eyes again: "Do you want to give it to me?"

"Well. For you."

"Okay." Xie Tangru showed an expression of "reluctantly accepting it", held the seal tightly in his palm, stared at him for a while, and then said, "Since you gave me the most important thing , then I will give you something in return.”

As he spoke, he took off the jade pendant around his waist, and stuffed it solemnly into Yao Shang's palm.

It was the one that fell from the Yanxian Building.

Xie Tangru once made a promise that belonged to Duke Wei's son.

It is enough to see how important this jade pendant is to him.

Yao Shang's eyelashes drooped, "Are you sure you will give it to me? You won't regret it when you wake up."

"Of course." Xie Tangru was completely delirious, shaking his head and thinking, "Throw me a papaya, and repay it with Qiongju..."*

Yao Shang laughed.

The elder son was so drunk that he even opened his mouth to write such poems.

But he still held the jade pendant tightly.

…………

The next day, Xie Tangru sat up from the bed rubbing his forehead, reached out and touched a small gold seal.

His eyes widened in astonishment.

what is this?
