"Actually, I should have thought that if I were not an important figure in Buddhism, I would not dare to accept Wang Shou's entrustment, and I would not have kept you by my side for more than 20 years and were not known to the outside world."

Xu You smiled and said, but he was thinking about the dispute over Buddhism and Taoism in Wei. His wisdom undermined Tanchen and became the monk master of Buddhism. But in front of him was the strong counterattack of Taoism. Zuo Guanglu doctor Cui Boyu and Songshan Taoist Kang Jing joined forces, and it may not be impossible to get a piece of the pie from the Emperor Yuan Yu of Wei. Just like the current situation in Chu, Zhu Daorong pressed step by step, and Sun Guan was unwilling to surrender. The two tigers fought each other, and it might be like a bloody storm!

The change of imperial power is cruel, and the struggle of religion is not inferior, even more cruel. Because imperial power only deprives the other party of the body, religion wants to completely cleanse your soul!

The national conditions of the north and the south are different, the upper structures are different, and the customs, cultures and beliefs are also different. Coincidentally, fierce confrontation and competition between Buddhism and Taoism occurred at the same time. It can only explain one thing: what drives history forward is history itself, and it is not transferred by anyone's will.

Buddhism and Taoism finally began their first large-scale confrontation since their birth!

Xu You was fascinated by his feelings of being involved in history, which is more in line with his character and taste than his mellow wine in beauty and power and money.

"Yes, Master's kindness will never be restored in this life!"

He Ru lowered his head and rubbed the cup in his hand. His eyes were gentleness and calm that had never been seen before. Only when facing Xu You and Zuo Qi could he express a little real emotion in his heart. The ruthless words he said before could not threaten him even if he held Tanchen. It was obviously for the Winter Solstice and the others to listen to. Deep in his heart, Tanchen had already regarded Tanchen as his father and mentor, which was both the sustenance of the soul and the destination of the soul.

Otherwise, after so many years, he would have endured all his vitality by unforgettable hatred and swallowed it completely!

"I can't pay it back, I have to pay it back!"

Xu You patted He Ru on the shoulder and said, "First pay off the debt of Fengmen's favor!"

Zuo Qi looked confused and said, "We know too little about Fengmen. We don't even know what they want Qiyi to do. How can we take the initiative to pay off this favor debt?"

"You, don't underestimate Qiyi. Since he has done so many transactions with Fengmen, how could he not arrange a few eyeliners in it?"

Zuo Tiao yelled and said, "Really?"

He Ru smiled and said, "As Qilang said, I have had eleven dealings with Fengmen in the past five years, and have bribed a few people inside, and sent them in at the right time... However, these people are currently outsiders and cannot access too many secrets..."

"No hurry! We have time. As long as the eyeliner is buried deep enough, sooner or later, the curtain fence that covers the wind gate will be unveiled." Xu You pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you think the Winter Solstice can be trusted?"

He Ru replied without thinking, "Yes! Her life experience is clear and she is the maid whom Zhan Wenjun pointed to Qilang before leaving, so she should not have any ill intentions."

Xu You looked at Zuo Qi, Zuo Qi nodded and said, "I think so too. Zhan Si Niang will never harm the husband!"

"This is one! Secondly, Zhan Wenjun asked the Winter Solstice to stay with Qilang, not only to allow the Winter Solstice to have a place to accommodate him, but also to prevent the line between her and Qilang from being cut off. Maybe the opportunity will come in the future and we can meet again!"

Xu You frowned and said, "Just discuss the matter, don't touch Zhan Wenjun."

He Ru and Zuo Qi smiled at each other, cleverly did not bother with this topic, and said, "Yes, don't talk about Zhan Wenjun, just talk about the winter solstice. The winter solstice has ambitions. Only Jingyuan can provide her with shelter and the cornerstone of realizing her ambitions in such a huge Qiantang. In addition, either marry a farmer and a businessman as a wife or a concubine, or be taken into the Sili Mansion as a dog or a horse. If you want to be a person who holds freedom and the future in your hands, you can only follow Qilang and have no choice!"

"good!"

Xu You made a decision and said, "Since that's the case, you will gradually hand over the eyeliner in the wind gate to the hands of the Winter Solar, and she will be responsible for the contact and inquiries there. We are trapped in Qiantang, with our eyes and ears and ears, and we must have our own intelligence agency so that we will not be aware of it or lose our ability to advance and retreat. But now we have no money and no one, so take it slowly, practice our hands from the wind gate first, and test the Winter Solar..."

Loyalty is linear and needs to be continued for a long period of time, so today's loyalty may be betrayal tomorrow. Xu You trusts today's winter solstice, but who can tell it clearly tomorrow?

As Xu You and the others were almost talking, Lu Shuang pushed the door directly with the newly prepared ginger honey water. The reason why she didn't knock on the door was because it would seem too deliberate. She smiled and said, "Three men are thirsty, try the ginger honey water I cooked with my own hands. Give me some thin noodles. If it is not delicious, don't scold me too hard."

Xu You said in surprise: "The girl Lushuang, who never cooks, is willing to move her jade hand? Well, even if we take poison, we will be full of fragrance. Qiyi dares to scold you, Feng Hu is the first to refuse!"

He Ru snorted and said, "Since Qilang is so anxious, please drink a bowl first!"

"It's not a drink. One bowl is too much, I'll take a bite!" Xu You said that he was domineering, but in fact he was also pounding in his stomach. He couldn't have confidence in the first time cooking. He trembled and picked up the porcelain bowl, sucked it lightly, and smiled and said, "Lu Shuang, I didn't expect you to have the talent to be a cook, it's so delicious!"

He Ruqi said, "Really? I'll try..." He was not as reserved as Xu You. He raised his head and took a big sip, wiping his mouth and tsk, "Well, it's not bad, it's really delicious. The craft of Lushuang is no less than the autumnal equinox."

Zuo Qi couldn't sit still. After saying something for a long time, his throat was about to smoke. He quickly picked up the bowl and drank it all. Suddenly his face froze, his eyebrows and eyes were about to squeeze into the word "chuan". He didn't swallow it until he vomited it out in one mouthful. The splashing table and clothes were everywhere, and he said, "This... is too bitter..."

Xu You and He Ru laughed at the same time, and He Ru pointed at him and said, "Feng Hu, you are still too young. When I saw Qilang's exaggerated expression, I knew that he was deliberately making fraud. You actually drank so much."

Zuo Qi was very regretful, Lu Shuang stuck out her tongue and said, "Is it so hard to drink? I see that the autumnal equinox is cooked like this... Um..." Before she finished speaking, she covered her mouth and ran out, and then she heard the sound of dry retching.

Xu You joked: "Did you treat salt as sand malt?" Sand malt is a tiny pellet of malt. There is no honey at home. Xu You knows that if you want to cook ginger honey water, you can only use sand malt. The color of this malt is similar to the commonly used sea salt in Yangzhou. It is not white, a little blue, and the color is not pure enough. People who don't cook often can easily be confused.

Lu Shuang came back from outside, looking depressed, and her thoughts of being a cook immediately faded, and she said, "It must be that I put the sandy yaki in the wrong way..."

This little episode made everyone feel much more comfortable. He Ru's experience was always contaminated with too many conspiracies and darkness, making people full of negative energy.

Xu You looked around and said, "Where is the autumnal equinox and winter solstice?"

"It just so happened that Sister Fang came to invite them to get the freshly steamed pancake and the two-color honey-stained lotus root slices."

Xu You seemed to remember that there was a talented and beautiful girl living next door and said, "I haven't eaten Fang Xiu Niang's pastry for many days. Why do you think of bringing food today?"

While talking, the autumnal equinox and the winter solstice came back with pastries. As soon as they entered the room, the winter solstice giggled and said, "Xiaolang, do you know what Sister Fang is looking for us?"

"Oh, can they know that Zhou Ying'er was arrested?"

Dong Xie clapped her hands and said, "Xiao Lang guessed it right! They heard from Du County Wei that Zhou Ying'er was caught. Seeing that it was too late, they could not go to the yamen to inquire, so they came to us to ask about the specific situation."

"This is a serious matter, and I want to talk to Ms. Su. Hey, why don't they come and ask me directly, what are you doing!"

The autumnal equinox carefully arranged the poncho cake, first took a portion and put it in front of Xu You, and held back a smile and said, "Sister Fang talked about it privately, saying that Xiaolang is always serious and every time she comes, she is cautious, for fear of offending you. For such things, she only dares to find our maids and dare not disturb Xiaolang."

“Is there any?”

Xu You touched his chin. He saw Fang Xiuniang for a few times, not to mention Su Tang. He had only met once, so he could not talk about being serious and said, "Does Fang Xiuniang think I am a ghost with green face and fangs?"

"Seeing someone by appearance, I lost my son Yu, and Fang Xiuniang is not at the level of the realm, so I will inevitably lose my husband!" He Ru likes to joke with Xu You the most, pick up a piece of cake and bite it, and praises: "But when it comes to cooking, there is nothing to say, it's really something to eat!"

"Okay, do you mean I am as ugly as Ziyu?"

Everyone laughed. Although Xu You is not as beautiful as Gu Yun's appearance, he can also be called Yushu. He has been practicing martial arts for many years and is tall and tight. He is not as charming as a Confucian scholar. He is not as ugly as ugly as a Confucian scholar.

"There is something that I can teach Xiaolang to know. There is no more money in Miss Su's family." Dong Xie stood behind Xu You, lowered her voice and said carefully.

"Oh? What Fang Xiu Niang said?"

Lushuang and the autumnal equinox both showed surprise. They often contacted Fang Xiuniang, but had never heard her say these words. Especially when the autumnal equinox just came back from next door today, everything they saw and heard was all the style of ordinary wealthy families, and they had never been ruined.

"No, she would definitely not tell me, but I accidentally heard Su Tang's maid want to go to the city to find a female worker with a good needleworker and take the broken Yun-woven brocade clothes to sew."

"Isn't it common to sew clothes? In the past, when Yixing, the clothes of the girls at home were not as fresh as they were every day."

"It is common to sew clothes, but this woven cloud brocade dress was worn by Girl Su when she went out, when she was having a banquet and making friends. I have seen it once or twice before, and they were all made new clothes, without even a trace of wrinkles."

Xu You turned his head and looked at Lu Shuang. The understanding and understanding of the woman was far less than that of her. Lu Shuang nodded and said, "Winter Solstice is right. Girl Su is a good person. If she hadn't had the money in her pocket, she would never be willing to wear a torn dress."

Xu You sighed: "Anyway, it's all sewn clothes with needle and thread. If you torn, it's repaired again. As long as there is no trace left, it's no different from new clothes. If you girls don't understand, what do you mind doing?"

"If it is broken, it is broken. How can it be the same?"

Lu Shuang and the Winter Solstice spoke in unison, and were puzzled by Xu You's idea. Only when he was young in the autumnal equinox, he was not a real woman. He said in a daze: "Yes, if you make up for it, you can make it up. Of course, you can wear it as new clothes!"

In his heart, the Winter Sorrow expressed sympathy for the life treatment of the Autumnal Equinox in Yixing Xu's family, and secretly decided to teach her more in the future, saying: "In addition, did the Penggao Xiaolang notice the difference today?"

Before Xu You could eat it, he tasted it and said, "It's no different, it's still sweet and delicious, soft and smooth."

"Where is the winged man?"

He Ru kept eating. He heard the words of the Winter Solar, but he was about to look up, but he accidentally choked. The autumnal equinox next to him was quick and quick. He picked up the ginger and honey water and handed it over, and delivered it directly to his mouth. After entering his mouth, his expression changed drastically, but after all, he had been a monk and had a first-class meditation skill. He insisted on swallowing it, and his face turned green.

"What's wrong?"

The Winter Solstice was inexplicably surprised, looking at Xu You and Zuo Qi laughing, thinking that they had caused some trouble. Lu Shuang blushed and explained: "It's nothing. The ginger honey water I cooked just now seemed to have put the wrong sand malt, which is a bit salty..."

After hearing the Autumnal Equinox, he hurriedly poured the tea. He Ru drank it all in one gulp, and then he came back and said helplessly: "It's not just a bit salty, you have squandered all the salt in Qiantang!"

Lu Shuang said ashamed: "I will find Fang Xiu Niang tomorrow and learn how to cook!"

"If you have a specialty in your profession, you don't need to learn cooking!" Xu You asked the question from Dong Solar just now again and said, "You have to finish eating the Pengcao alone. Do you feel abnormal?"

"If it weren't for the reminder of the winter solstice, I really didn't notice it, but after careful reminiscing, I found that this sweetness was not right..."

The Winter Solstice said excitedly: "Yes, my husband is so amazing! When I went to the kitchen to get pancakes, I saw that they used sauerkraut, but they used rice sauerkraut before. Steamed pancakes are sauerkraut, which is hard and hard, and difficult to taste, let alone sauerkraut - it was a very poor family who occasionally wanted to use sauerkraut to make pastries for the sake of the young and old. And in the past, every two or three days, Fang Xiuniang had to send some food, but this time she made pancakes half a month later..."

"I know the little things!"

Xu You praised the Winter Solstice and said, "You have learned real skills in the Chuan Pavilion. Since that's the case, I have something important to you."

The Winter Solstice was praised by Xu You, and he was overjoyed. He couldn't help but want to continue to show his feelings, saying, "Please make it clear that no matter what, I promise not to make any mistakes!"

Just like a young young man who is just a new job, Xu You can't understand the excitement of being appreciated by his boss. If you use this mentality well, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort, but there is also an obvious disadvantage, that is, you will be greedy for success and make a rash effort.

"Don't rush, let Qiyi discuss it in detail later. Remember, this matter is for a long-term plan, no longer for a while, no longer for a while. If it is not done well, we have the opportunity to make up for it, so don't be under pressure. Of course, if it is done well, I will have a lot of rewards!"

Dong Zhe knew that this was a long-term job, and she calmed down a little, but she also realized that Xu You took all her thoughts. Because only long-term can she not be full of a sense of stagnation, and can she feel at ease to gradually realize her self-worth under the cover of Xu You's wings.

"promise!"

"Autumnal Equinox, go and invite Girl Su to come and have a talk!" Xu You stood up, let Lu Shuang and the Winter Sora clean up the residual stains around the case, and left the inner hall with He Ruzuo and walked to the second entrance hall where they saw the guests.

Although it is winter, some evergreen vegetation such as locust trees, osmanthus trees, camphor trees and other seasons are planted in the courtyard, and there is still a little greenishness. Even though it is no longer vigorous and sparse, it seems to ignite the vast green onions in the gentle sunshine, without a trace of desolate and dilapidated scene.

Houses are expensive, but there are reasons for their expensiveness!

He Ru broke a locust branch, took off her green skin, whistled and blew it twice, and suddenly said with a smile: "Su Tang and Du Sansheng seem to have a close relationship."

"What's the reason?"

"I didn't expect it at first, but based on the various matters that followed, I can infer it like this. First, Fang Xiuniang met Du Sansheng outside Zhou Ying'er's house. When she cried, she was not afraid of the county magistrate of Qiantang. She was very different from her now. "He Ru threw Qingpi far away to the pool and said, "Again, Su Tang came to Jingyuan to stay and asked Du Sansheng for Qilang's reputation. I kept wondering if it was Du Sansheng's idea for Su Tang. As long as he had a constant relationship with Qilang, the matter of the house would not be over. Sooner or later, the yamen would give her an explanation."

Xu You stopped and said, "Fang Xiu Niang is not a stingy person. That day, she was forced by the situation. The rabbit was anxious and bitten, let alone a human being? And when she was in the yamen, she was also very scared by Du Sansheng's officials. It is impossible to judge the relationship between Su Tang and Du Sansheng. However, you said that Su Tang lived in Jingyuan to prevent the yamen from being tired of handling the case, which makes it very reasonable."

He paused, a smile appeared in his eyes, and said, "I have always been unable to understand what Su Tang wants to do. No matter what the reason, I can't explain that she went to a strange man's house to ask for help to solve the problem. It's still your thoughts are clear, so that you can explain it clearly."

"Yes, Qilang and Gu Yun are good friends. It's not a good idea to live in the family. Sooner or later, I have to urge the yamen to solve the case. Su Tang, a little girl, has no such insight or scheming!"

Xu You agreed with He Ru's inference, but made a fine adjustment on the timeline and said: "Du Sansheng is a money-loving person, and Su Tang should have had no contact with him before. The biggest possibility is that Fang Xiuniang told Su Tang about the passage after returning from the yamen. She was brave and was not afraid of dating a man. She secretly went to visit Du Sansheng, and maybe even gave him a lot of money. The relationship between the two has become truly familiar since then."

"Yes, I think badly. What Qiluo said is closer to the truth!"

Xu You shook his head and said, "How could you make such a mistake? You just want to guide me and let me realize the reason for it. This is also good, so that I can move my head from time to time, so as not to rely too much on you, the planner, and become incompetent."
