Chapter 231 Shen Lu Makes Trouble in Ling'an
Last time, we talked about Zhang Hongchen finding Shen Lu. He not only gave him a bath, but also said that he would help him teach a lesson to those who bullied him. This really moved Xiao Lu. So, in the next story, how will our eldest son Shen behave? Let's read on.
After taking care of Shen Lu, Zhang Hongchen immediately rushed back to the inn. She sneaked into Li Yi's room, and the latter was already lying down. She whispered, "Is the Lord asleep?"
"What's the matter?"
"My negligence almost caused a great loss to Your Majesty. I beg Your Majesty to punish me!" As she said that, Zhang Hongchen took out her small whip.
Li Yi turned over and said, "It's fine as long as the person is not lost. No need to punish him." Seeing that Zhang Hongchen was still not moving, Li Yi asked, "Anything else?"
Zhang Hongchen said in a tender voice: "I want to serve you, my Lord, to bed."
"No need, just go."
"Li Yi!"
With a swish, Li Yi jumped up and grabbed Zhang Hongchen's neck. He said coldly, "You can call me by my name casually?"
"I know I was wrong, I beg you to punish me!"
"Humph, this is indeed punishable!" After saying that, Li Yi threw Zhang Hongchen onto the bed, and then the screen went black. The TV was not allowed to play, and the novel was not allowed to be too straightforward. What should I do? Although this book is not read by many people, I always feel that someone wants to read it. Alas, even if it is badly written, I have to insist on finishing it to avoid leaving regrets. Then the rules remain unchanged, and a lewd poem is written to express my feelings:
I feel like a fairy on the chair, and I feel like a celestial being on the road of the world. I don't understand why I love this path, so I can only spur my horse and whip it.
Mottled dots, burning dots, ragged threads, tangled threads. I rode my green horse at the foot of Kuaiji Mountain, looking at the peaks in the distance between the clouds and rain.
When the two men returned on horseback, Li Yi's Taoist robe was already being worn by Zhang Hongchen, while Li Yi had changed back into his Confucian robe. Only these two people would go out for a ride on the horse in the middle of the night. Although they returned to their room without saying a word, it could be seen from other aspects that the battle situation last night was definitely beyond imagination.
The next day, when Zhang Hongchen woke up, Li Yi was gone. He wrote two words on Zhang Hongchen's hand, "Practice swordplay". The latter smiled and got up, dressed, and went to find her little Lu'er. Shen Lu saw that Zhang Hongchen was in a good mood and asked, "Did Hongxian have a good dream last night? Why are you so happy?"
Zhang Hongchen smiled and said, "It's more than just a good dream. If I could have such a dream every day, it would be worth it to live ten years less! Little Lu'er, I'm in a good mood today. Let's go buy some clothes first, and then I'll take you to get revenge! We won't let any of them go!"
Just like that, somehow, dozens of beggars with ragged clothes, crooked mouths, squinting eyes and limping appeared in Kuaiji City. It must have been a lot of suffering and anger when Master Shen experienced the life of the lower class.
The scene switched to the Yu Mansion. A stone wrapped with a note fell beside Jin Yao. She looked around but saw no one. She reached out to pick up the stone and opened the note. She immediately shouted, "Xiao He, prepare the car to go to the dyeing workshop!"
"Why do you suddenly want to mix the dye, Miss?"
"Stop talking nonsense and get ready!"
……
Jin Yao came to the dyeing workshop. The guards were all standing outside. She was the only one in the yard. She took off her hat and looked around, but she couldn't see Li Yi. She was full of doubts. Suddenly there was a noise in the backyard. Jin Yao went to check and saw Li Yi sharpening his sword. The three words "Love, Absolute Love" appeared on the sword in his hand.
Jin Yao asked, "You didn't ask me to come and watch you sharpen your sword, did you?"
The beloved sword in Li Yi's hand seemed to tremble. He immediately gathered more spiritual power in his palm, turning the original blue light into green light, and then continued to sharpen the sword. When the sword was calm, he said, "I can't marry you for the time being. First, your family's mourning period is not over and you can't get married. Second, your father won't agree."
Seeing a trace of disappointment on Jin Yao's face, Li Yi asked again: "If I take you back to Wei State directly, would you be willing?" A hint of excitement flashed in Jin Yao's eyes, but she quickly shook her head.
Li Yi nodded and said, "Then I will wait until your family's mourning period is over before I come to Nanliang to formally propose marriage."
Jin Yao raised her head and said, "In three years, I will be nineteen years old and an old girl. Will you despise me then?"
Li Yi dropped his beloved sword and said in surprise: "What the hell? Nineteen? What the hell? You're just sixteen this year? The same age as Yuehua! Fortunately, fortunately, I didn't act on impulse, otherwise I would have been in jail for life!" Hearing Li Yi's crazy talk, Jin Yao was a little puzzled.
At that time, girls were usually engaged at the age of twelve or thirteen, married at the age of fifteen, and became mothers at the age of eighteen. If Yu Da hadn't wanted to marry Jin Yao to the prince, she would have been married by now. But as a time traveler, Li Yi knew something about Wu Qian's deeds and knew that this minor should not be touched.
Li Yi, who had completely lost his psychological burden, put his hands on Jin Yao's shoulders and said sternly: "Nineteen years old is good! That's the best time of your life! How could I dislike you!"
Jin Yao looked at Li Yi with a sparkle in his eyes and murmured, "That's right. You didn't even dislike a girl of Sister Hongchen's age, so how could you dislike me?"
"How can you compare with Zhang Hongchen! No, how can Zhang Hongchen compare with you! We are just getting what we need, there is no relationship!"
"Really? I don't think so. She is quite attached to you."
"She is not attached to me at all! She is... Never mind, you will know when the time comes! Anyway, everyone is happy in this situation now. The most urgent thing is to solve the problem between you and the prince."
"What are you going to do?"
"This is what I planned..." Li Yi casually said his plan.
Jin Yao frowned after hearing this and asked, "How can this be possible? My father will be so angry that he will die if I do this!"
"It's a good opportunity for him to vent his anger on the Shen family. It's like killing two birds with one stone!"
"But if I do this, what will happen to my reputation? If you don't come to marry me after this incident, I'm afraid I won't be able to get married."
"That's perfect! No one in Liang is willing to marry you. When the time comes, I'll come and propose marriage. Then your father will have no reason to refuse our marriage!"
"If you don't come, how can I cope with it?"
Li Yi straightened his chest and said solemnly: "I, Li Yi, swear to heaven that when the Yu family's mourning period is over, Li Yi will come to the door in person..."
Jin Yao reached out and covered Li Yi's mouth, saying, "Okay, okay, I believe you, I believe you, you don't have to swear."
Li Yi laughed and said, "Hehehe, finally there is someone who can follow the normal routine."
Jin Yao rolled her eyes at Li Yi, who smiled and said, "Then we have to follow the script from now on. We can't change it casually. I can't stand it if you change it again!" Jin Yao nodded.
With a bang, the courtyard door was pushed open, and Xiao He shouted, "Miss, where are you? I seemed to hear someone talking just now, are you okay?"
Jin Yao immediately stretched out her hand to signal Li Yi to leave quickly. The latter kissed Jin Yao on the face, hooked his finger, put his beloved sword into the box, and then disappeared.
Three days later, Yu Jinyao went to Ling'an Temple again. This time, she didn't have so many guards, but she was accompanied by her father Yu Da and brother Yu Feng. Yu Da went because Jinyao persuaded him to go, while Yu Feng insisted on going according to Li Yi's plan. When they arrived at Ling'an Temple, everything was normal at first, but just when the incense was finished and the Yu family was about to leave, the bell of Ling'an Temple rang.
"Shu! Shu! Shu!" After three calls, the elegant young master Shen Lu, dressed in a white robe, blocked the way of the Yu family. He recited solemnly: "The Yu family has a beautiful daughter who is suitable for marriage and the Shen family. She came to Ling'an Temple to propose marriage. Please accept the small gift!"
Shen Lu raised his hand to signal, and the servants brought out ten boxes, which were then opened. Inside were gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings. The onlookers were stunned. They had never seen so many treasures before, but what they didn't know was that these were actually the property stored by others in Ling'an Temple, and most of the boxes were empty, and were padded with wooden boards.
In the attic, the abbot of Ling'an Temple, Shouzhen, was knocking the wooden fish loudly, plucking the rosary in his hand quickly, and reciting scriptures loudly. Li Yi patted his shoulder and said playfully: "Brother Shouzhen, I want you to say that you should hand over the position of abbot as soon as possible. I just went to the warehouse to check casually and found so many treasures. Master Bodhidharma was giving a lecture in Lingyin Temple, and you also went there, but it seems that you didn't listen at all?"
Monk Shouzhen put down his hammer and stopped moving his rosary beads. He looked at Li Yi and said sternly, "Brother, please forgive me when you can. What is your intention in forcing me like this?"
Li Yi said playfully, "Brother, although you haven't practiced evil methods, you have taken the wrong path. I have given you several chances since I first came to Ling'an Temple, but you still don't repent. The Shura Palace no longer exists, why are you still hiding these things?"
"I, I just want to be prepared for an emergency!"
Li Yi shook his head, turned around and looked towards the main hall, bowed and said: "Buddha, you have also seen that there are too many temptations in this world. Senior Brother Shouzhen failed to resist and finally fell into the mortal world. If it were a younger disciple, he would have taken action, but Senior Brother Shouzhen is of the same generation as me, so it is not easy to force him. Please let the Buddha know clearly."
Li Yi suddenly heard the voice of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in his heart: "I should be the one taking care of Ling'an Temple, but I've been busy with the affairs of hell, so I can't take care of it. Xiuyuan, I'll trouble you to help clean up the mess! Whether to kill or expel, you decide for yourself, no need to ask any more questions."
Li Yi put his hands together and bowed, saying, "Amitabha, disciple understands."
Li Yi turned to look at Monk Shouzhen and said, "Brother Shouzhen, I'll give you one last chance. Will you pass on the position of abbot or not?"
Monk Shouzhen used his Vajra Divine Art and said sternly, "Brother Xiuyuan, I know you are very capable, but do you dare to fight me in front of so many people?"
Li Yi turned around and looked towards the courtyard, and said calmly: "I won't fight you, just sit and die on your own."
"What if I don't agree?"
Li Yi pointed casually, and the Seven Absolute Sword Box suddenly opened. The evil sword flew out by itself and smashed directly on the top of the head of Monk Shouzhen! The golden light around Monk Shouzhen dissipated, and he forced himself to return to his original position and sit cross-legged, reaching for the rosary, and then put his hands together in a sitting posture.
Li Yi shook his head and sighed: "Fortunately, you have preserved the last dignity and chance for yourself and Ling'an Temple, otherwise Ling'an Temple might not be able to be saved." The evil sword returned to the box, the sword box closed, and Li Yi focused his attention on the courtyard.
At this time, Yu Da Yu Feng stood in front and stopped Shen Lu. Yu Feng pointed at Shen Lu and shouted, "Shen Lu, you have harassed Sister Jin Yao time and time again, and Sister always refused to do so! Because you are the son of the Minister of the Central Secretariat, my Yu family has repeatedly tolerated you and kept silent, but now you are going even further and blocking me in the street. Do you really think that my Yu family is easy to bully!"
Xiao He was surprised and asked: "Shen Lu? He is Shen Lu? How could he..."
Jin Yao leaned close to her ear and said sternly, "Shut up! Become a mute from now on, do you hear me?" Xiao He nodded repeatedly and kept silent.
Yu Da turned around and looked at his daughter and asked, "Is he the Shen Lu who tried to do something wrong earlier?"
Jin Yao shook her head and said, "He was wearing night clothes that night, and it was dark in the room, so my daughter couldn't see clearly."
"Don't be afraid, Jinyao. Dad is here. Even if he is the son of the Minister of the Central Secretariat, if he dares to be rude to you, Dad will not let him go!"
Shen Lu said loudly: "Miss Jinyao, have you forgotten what we talked about that night and the song I sang for you?"
"Nonsense! I've never spoken to you, let alone heard you sing!"
"Oh, sister, you have a bad memory! That night I asked you if you were willing to give in to me, but you stabbed me with a pair of scissors. Look, the wound is still there!" Shen Lu opened his collar to reveal the scar on his chest.
Yu Da was furious: "You bastard, you dare to insult my son's reputation, I will kill you!"
Shen Lu took two steps back, extended his hand and saluted, "Hey, father-in-law, why are you so violent? Our two families are getting married, and with the power of my Shen family, I can definitely help your Yu family become the head of the eight surnames! If father-in-law has other ideas, such as the position of the head of the family, my Shen family can also help you mediate!"
