But Yu Yan still agreed.
He was afraid that if he said no, this cheap apprentice would punch him on the forehead.
Moreover, if he agrees, he can also take the opportunity to ask about the details of the banquet on Thorn Ridge.
Su Shishi listened to the words of the monk Shen Xing at this moment, and looked at him with searching eyes, then when she saw that Yu Yan didn't take the initiative to explain, she asked about it.
"Little Rock, why did you have an invitation to the Shao Hua banquet?"
Su Shishi was very curious about this matter.
Yu Yan was stunned when he heard the words, why did it seem like everyone knew about this banquet?
Monk Shen Xing knows it, and Su Shishi, this princess, knows it too!
So he thought about it, and then he said truthfully,
"The poor monk doesn't know anything about it. Today the abbot suddenly called the poor monk to come over, and then gave the poor monk this invitation, and asked the poor monk to go to the banquet on his behalf."
Su Shi Shi didn't expect such a reason, she couldn't help but rolled her eyes at Yu Yan, and she said,
"You are such a confused monk, you don't know anything, and you are going to that Shao Hua banquet, do you think that banquet is an ordinary banquet?"
"Well, it's ok for you to go, you might get some benefits!*
"But how did you become a monk? Isn't the land left by my mother enough for you to study? Why do you have to did you go and become a monk?"
Yu Yan couldn't help being silent for a while when he heard that.
After digesting the first half of Su Shishi's words, he carefully considered the latter part.
There is a hidden meaning in the following words.
Su Shishi was complaining, but she was right to complain, after all, whether it is to be a monk or a taoist, in front of Confucianism, they must be a head shorter.
This is the limitation of the two schools' own laws, so compared to reading and literacy to get fame, becoming a monk is indeed the next best thing to do!
Thinking of this, Yu Yan didn't hide anything.
He explained in detail, the reasons why his predecessor, monk Shen Xiu, became a monk.
Unexpectedly, after hearing Yu Yan's narration, especially after knowing the reason for the death of monk Shenxiu's biological mother, Su Shishi immediately looked deeply moved, and she couldn't help saying,
"A man can have three wives and four concubines, but it's not unfair to stick to one person!
"Little Rock, if you can get a reputation as a scholar, maybe you and I... I don't have to... Hey, what's the use of talking about this with you as a monk!"
Su Shishi's expression was gloomy, she hesitated to speak, and after taking a deep look at Yu Yan, she turned her back to the three of them and left.
"Monk, Miss has been depressed for a while, please forgive me for being rude."
"Regarding the friendship with the monk, Miss has never forgotten, the grass crane that the monk gave to Miss back then, Miss still keeps it!"
The maid Cuiyi hurriedly said, after talking to Yu Yan, she chased after Su Shishi.
After the pair of lady and maidservant had left, the monk Shen Xing said,
"Master, could this be your romantic debt?"
Yu Yan rolled his eyes at him.
'What kind of eyes does this guy have? It's clear that she is not satisfied with the person she married, okay!'
They were not even ten years old when they played together back then!
Forgetting the fact that they didn't understand what love was back then, even if they liked each other, the love should have been washed away by the water in the long river of time.
Yu Yan was very sober, he would not naively believe that this girl was in love with him.
She has probably been reliving her memories due to her desatisfaction with her marriage and fooled herself into believing that she was still in love with monk Shen Xiu.
Taking ten thousand steps back, assuming she really was in love with Shen Xiu, having been a rich daughter all of her life, she probably wouldn't be able to bear only eating 2 vegetarian meals a day with him.
After all, this is reality not a romantic drama.
But Yu Yan didn't explain, because he was too lazy, so he immediately changed the subject.
"Do you know how to get to the Chang Fu Escort company?"
"I know, but since you have a place to go, master, then I don't want to accompany you, I have to figure out a way to get a Taoist robe."
When Monk Shen Xing heard Yu Yan's question, he touched the back of his head and said.
"Why do you want to get a Taoist robe?"
Yu Yan couldn't help feeling strange.
"Could it be that master hasn't heard of the sentence said by the owner of the Shao Hua banquet?"
"It is said that those who practice Zen and seek Buddhism are all those who are unfilial and forget their ancestors, so the the people there are very unfriendly to monks!"
After thinking about it carefully, Yu Yan took a look at the monk Shen Xing and said,
"Namo Amitabha,Shen Xing, how about... helping the poor monk to get a Taoist robe?"
"Hey, master is really my master! Those who understand the current affairs the most outstanding."
"However, Master, you cannot change your robe, because if you change, neither of us will be able to enter.!"
Monk Shen Xing made made himself sounded like he was powerless and helpless, but the smile on his face was full of gloating.
When Yu Yan heard this, he had no choice but to nod with a dark face, he then parted ways with Monk Shen Xing.
'This bad guy is so disrespectful towards his master!'
Fortunately, Yu Yan was able to get the direction to the Chang Fu Escort, half an hour later, he stopped at the door of the Escort, and then handed the letter to the porter.
After a while, Cheng Xu's younger brother came out, his appearance was 70% similar to that of Cheng Xu's, after exchanging names, Yu Yan knew that his name was Wang Wutong.
Wang Wutong had a vigorous personality, so he directly led Yu Yan over and put him in a carriage.
Although it feels strange for a monk to be in a cat, but the social status of monks and priests is not low, so even if the people in the escort agency felt strange in their hearts, no one gossiped in front of his faces .
The escortconvoy of the Changfu Escort set off half an hour later, and after an hour and a half of driving, they stayed in an inn on the official road before the sky turned completely dark.
The escort routes and itineraries were all well planned.
Most of the inns are commoner shops, but there were also upper-class rooms, so Yu Yan was assigned to a first-class room.
After this courteous treatment, Yu Yan changed his view of Cheng Xu in an instant.
He knew very well that the fact that he was able to receive this kind of treatment was absolutely inseparable from Cheng Xu's letter.
Thinking about it carefully, compared to the bad-natured Cheng Ming, this Cheng Xu did nothing more than marrying a wife, taking a few concubines, and this is nothing to a kid from a rich family.
Thinking of this, Yu Yan prepared to blow out the candles for a rest, it was getting late, and he had to go on his way tomorrow.
However, Yu Yan took another look at the raccoon cat who looked very cute at the moment.
Since being carried down the mountain by him, the cat had not made a sound, and now it is lying on the table, even more motionless, looking listless.
"Could it be that you're sick?"
Thinking about it carefully, the mountain wind at the Buddha Residence is indeed quite strong, and the humidity is also quite heavy.
Thinking of this, Yu Yan pulled himself together and stepped forward, wanting to take a closer look.
Moonless was just lazily lying down, but suddenly saw this monk stretching out his hand towards her, she couldn't help but think of the scene last night.
Thinking that this monk had come again, she was extremely ashamed, couldn't hold back and sticked out her small paw.
"It hurts, it hurts!"
Yu Yan felt the pain, he quickly withdrew his hand and glanced at the back of his hand.
'It is not a deep scratch!'
'Thankfully, the poor monk has thick skin, so he doesn't have to worry about getting rabies.'
Yu Yan couldn't help it anymore, he didn't care if the cat could understand or not, so he asked,
"Why are you scratching the poor monk again?"
Yu Yan didn't expect to get an answer, however, what he didn't expect was that a crisp voice suddenly sounded.
"Who is a monk? You definitely want to play trick on me!"
...
