My Erlang is so rich

Chapter 11

At this time, Li Xuanning and Chang Wu were already on their way back to the palace.

Chang Wu walked beside, and stretched out his arm to touch Li Xuanning: "Your Majesty, we just left without saying goodbye to Wang Yuanbao, isn't it very good."

Li Xuanning actually hesitated at first whether to wait for him to get up and say goodbye, but when he thought about what happened last night, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Although he also knew in his heart that Wang Yuanbao regarded himself as someone else and did not intend to do so, but he still found it difficult to accept such a situation.

Li Xuanning turned his head and said to Chang Wu: "It's okay, just let Steward Liu say goodbye on his behalf. He just thinks that we have already returned to our hometown. If we think about it, we will never see each other again."

Chang Wu replied: "Yes, yes."

When Li Xuanning and Chang Wu left suddenly, Steward Liu was very upset, after all, the matter of the Gathering of Talents has not been cancelled.

But if people want to leave, they can't be stopped. They can't be tied up in a daze anymore. If they can keep people, they can't keep their hearts.

It's really strange, living well, and leaving before Master Bao gets up.

Forget it, everyone has already left, let's wait for Master Bao to get up.

By the time Wang Yuanbao finished washing, the sun was already high and it was almost noon.Alright, let's have lunch directly, then turn into the study and read the comic book for a while, then go straight to the hall and wait for dinner.

When the food was on the table, both Wang Yuanbao and Ah Shan picked up their chopsticks and started to gobble it up.Wang Yuanbao was starving because he didn't eat in the morning, and Ah Shan was because he always ate like this.

Wang Yuanbao suddenly thought of Li Xuanning, and before he swallowed the food in his mouth, he hurriedly asked: "Butler Liu, Mr. Ning, have they eaten yet? Why don't you come together?"

Steward Liu originally planned to wait for them to finish their meal before talking about Li Xuanning's departure, but unexpectedly Wang Yuanbao asked while they were still eating.

I was a little nervous for a while, and suddenly forgot the speech I had just made up, and replied in a daze: "The two brothers of the Ning family have already left the palace early in the morning and returned to their hometown."

After finishing speaking, Wang Yuanbao and Ah Shan stopped their movements at the same time, raised their heads and looked at Butler Liu.

Seeing the two people staring at him at the same time, Butler Liu took a step back with some guilt, and then lowered his head not daring to look into their eyes.

He thought about it, and said softly: "Mr. Ning Wu came to tell me early, let me thank Master Bao for his hospitality. They stayed for several days, and they bothered them. They are going back to their hometown, so they will not wait for Master Bao. Get up."

Seeing that the two were still silent, Steward Liu said, "I tried my best to persuade you to stay, but those two young masters were determined to go. I really have no choice."

After a while, Ah Shan came to his senses first, slapped down the table angrily, and said, "Huh, White-eyed Wolf, he took care of food and housing and took an arrow for him. Erlang, you see, he ran as soon as he said he wanted to, without even saying hello." beat."

Wang Yuanbao came to his senses when Ah Shan patted the table, and heard what Ah Shan said again.He laughed instead: "What white-eyed wolf, you kidnapped him back then, and he himself was not happy."

Ah Shan blushed when he heard that, knowing he was wrong, he paused.Instead, he said, "That shouldn't be sneaking away."

Wang Yuanbao frowned: "Let's go, maybe there is something urgent."

Ah Shan turned his head to Wang Yuanbao and said, "Look, you are not in a hurry. Didn't you say that he is like your fairy brother? If you like him so much, you should put him to bed as soon as possible, and cook the raw rice!"

Wang Yuanbao coughed violently, he was out of breath...

"It's all about what, what to cook, don't talk nonsense." Wang Yuanbao explained in a hurry.

Ah Shan looked at Wang Yuanbao as if looking at his family's unworthy Adou, and said in a calm voice: "Erlang, look at you, if you like you, you like it. If there is anything wrong with admitting it, you drove away Jiawen and let Ning go. Xuan, you will die alone, you won't be able to keep a man or a woman."

Wang Yuanbao felt that he was a bit superior, and said with a little anger: "Didn't he say that he was going back to his hometown? I didn't let him go. Hey, he just left. Why are you two reacting so violently?"

After speaking, Wang Yuanbao picked up the chopsticks and was about to continue eating, but the movements of his hands paused.

Suddenly, I lost my appetite!

Wang Yuanbao threw away his chopsticks in annoyance, stood up, and went back to his room.Ah Shan and Butler Liu seemed to be in a bad mood looking at Wang Yuanbao, and they didn't dare to speak, until Wang Yuanbao walked out, Ah Shan buried his head and continued eating.

Butler Liu looked at Ah Shan and shook his head: "You can still eat, did you leave without seeing Master Bao?"

Ah Shan said with some embarrassment: "I was quick-talking too, alas, it will be fine in a few days."

Even though he said so, the movements of his hands also stopped, Ah Shan was also a little worried about Erlang, this is the second time, one good article is not enough, and another Ningxuan came, this fairy brother couldn't be found for a day, Erlang didn't know It takes a few times.

That gathering of talents will definitely not be held again!

Wang Yuanbao walked halfway, turned around and went to the study, ordered Xiang'er to light the incense burner, and lay down on the couch.

As for why he was bored, Wang Yuanbao himself didn't really understand.

Ning Xuan and himself had nothing to do with each other, so let's just leave, and probably won't see each other again in the future.

What Ah Shan said was wrong, not that he couldn't keep them, but that they were not the ones he wanted to keep.

Dong dong dong, there was a sudden knock on the door, which interrupted Wang Yuanbao's thoughts.

Wang Yuanbao knew who it was without even thinking about it. At this hour, there was no one else who came looking for him except Ah Shan.

"Come in." Wang Yuanbao responded to the door.I saw Ah Shan walking in with a wicked smile on his face, closing the door with a thief and walking towards him.

Wang Yuanbao: "Ah Shan, why are you laughing like this, just tell me if you have anything to say!"

Ah Shan: "Hey, Erlang, shall we leave the city in a few days?"

Wang Yuanbao frowned, looked at Ah Shan, and said slowly: "What are you doing out of the city? What bad idea?"

Ah Shan rolled his eyes at Wang Yuanbao: "Tsk, look at you, why do you miss me so much? I just saw that you were in a bad mood, and I thought that after a few days, when your health improved, I would go out to the city to play and relax. , the scenery of Fairy Lake outside the city is very beautiful, why don't you go for a walk?"

Wang Yuanbao raised his eyebrows in disbelief, looked at Ah Shan with admiration, and said, "Your idea of ​​visiting Fairy Lake in winter is very special!"

Ah Shan thought for a while, feeling a little embarrassed, it was really inappropriate.Turning his eyes, he said, "Why don't you go up the mountain? Go to Qingju Temple on Lingshan to offer incense? Yes, go to Qingju Temple, you go to ask the Buddha, let the fairy brother come quickly you!"

Wang Yuanbao put away the joke and thought about it carefully, he didn't want to go up the mountain at all.

But for the sake of Ah Shan's consideration for himself, let's go to Lingshan and pay homage to the Buddha!

"Well, that's fine. Let Butler Liu prepare the carriage when the weather is good in a few days. You can go back too. I'm going to sleep in my room." Wang Yuanbao patted Ah Shan and said calmly.

Hearing this, Ah Shan hummed and left happily. Ah Shan felt that he had come to the right place.Before he is depressed, arrange everything for him so that he has no time to think about these messy things.

A few days later, Wang Yuanbao stood at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, looked at the mountain connected to the sky, looked at the Qingju Temple buried in the clouds, and looked at the winding bluestone path looming in the deep mountain, feeling very regretful .

What a mountain

Wang Yuanbao turned to A-Shan and said, "A-Shan, what was the first thing you said that day? Visiting the Fairy Lake? I think that idea is very good. Although it is winter, it has a special taste. Why don't we go swimming in the lake? "

Ah Shan's face was black and blue, without looking at Wang Yuanbao, he walked straight forward, and said as he walked, "Erlang, hurry up, you are a little weak, you still need to exercise. Just turn your head now." Going to Fairy Lake, you have a bunch of reasons not to move!"

Wang Yuanbao thought about it, and what he said was true, he really didn't want to move, so forget it, come here.

Wang Yuanbao looked at Ah Shan who had gone far away, and reluctantly took a step forward.

Perhaps the chosen day was wrong, and along the way, I only encountered three or two tourists. The mountains were empty, and occasionally there were a few farmers who went up the mountain to cut firewood.

Sometimes Wang Yuanbao wanted to eat when he was hungry, sometimes he wanted to drink water when he was thirsty, and sometimes he wanted to rest when he was tired.

Stopping and stopping, it was already almost noon when we got up the mountain.

Having lived in Shangjing for so many years, it was the first time for Wang Yuanbao to come to Qingju Zen Temple.

The apricot-yellow courtyard wall, the blue-gray roof, and the red door are open. From the outside, you can see a few linden trees in the courtyard that are still tall and straight and verdant in this deep winter, and everything around you looks so quiet and solemn.

It seems that it is right to come here, calm your mind, purify your soul, and benefit your physical and mental health!

Wang Yuanbao and Ah Shan didn't usually worship Buddha, but this time they worshiped Buddha whenever they saw Buddha. Every time they entered a temple, they looked pious.

Wang Yuanbao had a big heart. When he worshiped the Buddha, he had no desires or desires. After a round of worship, he couldn't remember which gods and Buddhas he was. It was a sin.

Forget it, at least when you pray, you are pious.

Later, Wang Yuanbao found the abbot again and donated some merit money and glazed tiles to the Zen temple. The abbot left Wang Yuanbao and the two of them to have a vegetarian meal and rest in the Zen room.

Wang Yuanbao and Ah Shan were very touched after eating the vegetarian meal piously. Although the vegetarian meal was light, it was surprisingly delicious. Perhaps the cook at home should be changed!

The two returned to the Zen room and fell on the bed. Although they were very tired, they couldn't sleep for some reason, and they both lay upright.

After a stick of incense, Wang Yuanbao finally couldn't lie down anymore, so he called Ah Shan, ready to go out for a walk, and then go back.

As soon as he went out, he found a person sitting on a stone bench in the yard with his back leaning against him. He was wearing black clothes and holding chess pieces in his hands. He should be playing chess.

Play chess with yourself?It's so elegant!Wang Yuanbao thought in his heart, but it is normal to meet elegant people in this temple. Usually, such people are proficient in Buddhist principles and have a pure heart and few desires.

Wang Yuanbao took a few steps forward. To leave the hospital, he had to pass by that person, and it seemed that he would inevitably disturb him.

After walking a few steps forward, Wang Yuanbao unconsciously looked at the man. The man suddenly turned his head, and the two met their gazes. Wang Yuanbao looked at him.

It seems... There is a familiar feeling.

That person was also looking straight at Wang Yuanbao, as if he had met him somewhere before, and his face was very familiar.

Wang Yuanbao felt a little embarrassed, bowed his head and saluted, then opened his mouth and said, "Sorry, we have to go out and have to pass by you, it seems to have disturbed you."

The man continued to look at Wang Yuanbao without saying a word.

Wang Yuanbao was a little unhappy, and was slandering in his heart: This man is so rude, I am sorry, and he is still staring at himself, which makes me go or not.

After a while, the man stood up and cupped his hands slightly, looked at Wang Yuanbao and asked, "Where have I met you?"

Wang Yuanbao raised his head abruptly, and carefully looked at the person opposite him. The feeling of familiarity became stronger and stronger. Have you seen him before?Who is it?

While Wang Yuanbao was recalling carefully, Ah Shan said in amazement, "Erlang, this young master looks a lot like Mr. Ning!"

Wang Yuanbao woke up suddenly, and took a closer look, yes, it really looks alike, except that the young man in front of him is a little stronger, and the outline of his face is more resolute.

Seeing that Wang Yuanbao was silent, the man raised his voice and asked, "Master?" The man seemed to have remembered something, and asked again, "Your Master, is the Erlang of the Wang family?"

Wang Yuanbao was pulled back from his thoughts by the sound, and replied with some embarrassment: "I am indeed Wang Yuanbao, the Erlang of the Wang family. Dare I ask your surname?"

The man chuckled and said: "My name is An Chen, I just remembered, I did meet you, outside Zizhou City, Liuxiang Inn."

Wang Yuanbao was shocked again. He stared at An Chen with blank eyes. There was a thunder in his heart, and goose bumps exploded all over his body. He raised his breath in his throat and couldn't breathe for a long time.

Is...is that him?Wang Yuanbao looked this person up and down.Is it him?No wonder... there is a familiar feeling.

Ah Shan also opened his mouth wide, looking at the two in surprise, but what he thought in his heart was: My God, is the Buddha so spiritual?The front foot made a wish, and the back foot came?It seems that I will come to say goodbye more in the future.

Seeing that Wang Yuanbao was standing still, Ah Shan stepped forward and pushed him.Wang Yuanbao turned his head to look at A Shan in a daze, and when he saw A Shan winking, he came back to his senses, looked at An Chen and said, "Excuse me, did you meet me six years ago?"

An Chen turned around, raised his head and looked into the distance, his eyes drifted away with the clouds, then turned his head and nodded after a while, and said with certainty: "Well, it was indeed six years ago, in the deep winter, just like now, I want to Get up, it's really you, I almost didn't recognize it."

Wang Yuanbao's heart beat to the limit, trying hard to keep his heart from jumping out of his mouth, suppressed his voice, and said hoarsely: "Then what happened when you saw me at that time?"

An Chen looked at him with a half-smile, and said: "Don't doubt it, when I saw you, you just lay there like that, it was freezing cold, if I hadn't pulled you back, you would have froze to death It's outside, or you didn't recognize it, you hardly opened your eyes at that time."

Is that you?Wang Yuanbao asked in his heart, feeling foggy in front of his eyes for a moment, and his consciousness was in a trance at that moment, and after a while, he looked at the person in front of him intently.

It seems that there is something different. It should be that he has grown up a lot and dressed differently, but he has changed a lot in six years. Could it be that he has not changed?

Anyway, it's him.

An Chen looked at him again and smiled, and said, "After so many years, how are you?"

Wang Yuanbao had imagined the scene of meeting each other countless times, but when he really stood in front of the other party, he didn't know what to say. After a long time, he knelt down slowly and bowed deeply to An Chen.

An Chen was startled, and stretched out his hands to help.Wang Yuanbao grabbed An Chen's arm with both hands, and said sonorously: "Benefactor, I have been looking for you for a long time, but you left without saying a word, and you didn't even leave your name. Now that I have finally found you, you must let me I will repay you well."

An Chen was a little surprised, but it was just a matter of raising one's hand. It really doesn't take such a big gift, let alone keep it in mind for so long, right?

But seeing Wang Yuanbao's expectant face, he didn't know what to say, so he just said, "Get up first."

Wang Yuanbao shook his head stubbornly and said, "If you don't agree, I won't get up."

An Chen was a little helpless, if he had known it earlier, it would have been as if he hadn't, and it would have been better to miss it.But he still said with a good temper: "I promise you, get up!"

Wang Yuanbao got up slowly after hearing An Chen's promise.He said to An Chen: "Mr. An, why do you live here? Are you here for a trip?"

An Chen sat down again, and said with a smile: "Yes, I'm here for a trip. I haven't found a place to live yet. I'll live here first. I'll go to Shangjing in a few days. Then I'll find a yard and rent it."

When Wang Yuanbao heard that he had no place to live, he frowned and his eyes lit up: "Mr. An, why not live in my house, I have a lot of vacant rooms."

An Chen said without even thinking about it: "No need, I'm used to being comfortable, I can just find a place to live."

Wang Yuanbao was a little disappointed: "You promised me to repay you just now, but now you are refusing me."

An Chen was stunned for a moment, as if he had agreed just now, he looked at Wang Yuanbao again, as if he would not be able to kneel down again if he did not agree.

An Chen stopped refusing, and said to Wang Yuanbao, "Okay, I'll stay at your house for now."

"Ashan, help Mr. An with the luggage, let's go back to the palace!" Wang Yuanbao was a little excited, although he was speaking to Ashan, his eyes never left An Chen.

An Chen said a little speechlessly: "Now?"

Wang Yuanbao: "Is there anything else you need to do here?"

An Chen: "Although not, but..."

Wang Yuanbao: "Don't fail, let's go!"

An Chen: What happened?
