To Wu Haogu's expectations, the mysterious boy did not show up at the Xiyuan Elegant Festival.

When Wu Haowen followed Gao Qiu into the back garden where Baoning gave him a title, there were already twenty or thirty people there, but there was not the mysterious boy among them, and the prince consort Wang Shi was not there.

These people seemed to recognize Wu Haogu, so when the three of them came in, someone immediately stood up and greeted him. Wu Haogu also gave him a gift, and Gao Qiu introduced Wu Haogu from time to time to time to introduce unknown guests to Wu Haogu.

Those who can appear in the Xiyuan Elegant Collection are naturally the first-class people. Now they are respectful to Wu Haogu, a person who has no fame and no reputation and is not even a scholar. However, they have never looked down on Wu Haowen, who is very happy with his brother, feels like he is in a dream.

However, Wu Haogu and these well-known characters do not have much common language. After all, he is just a common businessman now and cannot be considered one of them.

After a while of greeting with these people, Wu Haogu and Wu Haowen found a remote location to sit down, and Gao Qiu took the "Cuju Picture" he had just obtained and rushed to find the prince-consort - this picture is his Gao Qiu's ladder to heaven today!

"Why sit here alone after Chongdao?"

Just as Wu Haogu was sitting in the corner preparing to observe the legendary Xiyuan Elegant Festival, he suddenly heard someone call him.

Looking back, there were three men, one man, two monks, one man, Su Dalang from the Su family shop, dressed in a scholar, and looked a bit elegant. The two monks were old and one strong, one short and one tall.

The short one is an old monk. He is obviously less than 1.5 meters tall. He is well maintained, has a fair face and does not have many wrinkles, but his eyebrows are white, which is obviously a little old.

The tall monk is in his prime, with a tiger's back and bear's waist, a round face, big ears, straight nose, square mouth, and a beard on his cheeks, which looks a bit messy. This looks a bit similar to the monk Shaozhuyuan in Daxiangguo Temple, but this monk is not as happy as the monk Shaozhuyuan all day, but has a serious face and a bit murderous aura.

"Why is Su Dalang here?"

Wu Haogu quickly stood up and saluted Su Dalang.

Su Dalang smiled, "I was ordered by my father to accompany two monks from Mount Wutai to this West Garden to see the fun.

Oh, when I introduce it, this monk from Wutaishan Zhenrongyuan is Jie Jue, and this is Zhishen, a monk from Wutaishan Wenshu Temple."

Zhishen, a high-ranking monk from Wenshu Temple in Mount Wutai?

Isn’t this Lu Zhishen? Is there really such a person?

What did he come to Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo? Could it be that like Lu Zhishen in Water Margin, he came to Daxiangguo Temple to see the vegetable garden?

No, there is no vegetable garden in Daxiangguo Temple, and the monks there are very rich, how could they grow their own vegetables?

Wu Haogu, who was puzzled by the appearance of Monk Zhishen, was a little dazed for a moment.

"Respecting the Tao, respecting the Tao?"

"ah!"

Wu Haogu woke up and quickly showed a look of embarrassment, "I would like to ask the two monks to forgive me. I was so rude that Xiao Di was just out of consciousness."

The two great monks did not show any displeasure. The great monk with the Dharma name Zhishen was not serious, but just returned a tribute. The short old monk Jiejue smiled faintly and said, "When the donor saw the old monk and Master Zhishen, he was destined to be destined to do so. When the old monk left Jingdong in the future, he would go to the mansion to visit him."

"Where is the master who wants to go east?" Wu Haogu asked casually.

"Return to Japan in the east." The old monk smiled, "The old monk is a Japanese man. He has been crossing the sea and entering the Song Dynasty for more than ten years. He wanted to bury his bones in China, but because the Buddha fell into a dream, he ordered me to return to the east, and then came to Kaifeng and said goodbye to his old friends."

It turned out to be a homesick Japanese monk.

Wu Haogu smiled and said, "After saying this, the master and a certain family are really destined to be together. A certain family will also travel east to Haizhou soon, or they may go with the master.

By the way, does this monk Zhishen also want to travel east to spread the Dharma?"

"The Sa family cannot go to the Japanese country," said the monk Zhishen, with a Kansai accent. "The Sa family only escorted Master Jie Jue to Haizhou and returned."

"Go to Haizhou, that's the same way."

Wu Haogu thought that it might be a bit dangerous to go to Haizhou here. If there is a "Lu Zhishen" who follows you, there will be more protection.

Master Jie Jue clasped his hands together and said, "Then let's go to Haizhou together. The old monk has been on the order in Daxiangguo Temple these days. When he meets the official family, he will go east."

He is still a monk who can meet the emperor! Wu Haoguxin said: This old monk returned to Japan and is probably also a very powerful monk with great status. He should have made friends with him along the way...

Just when Wu Haogu wanted to continue talking to the old Japanese monk, he suddenly heard Gao Qiu say in his ear: "Dalang, the prince consort is here."

"oh."

Wu Haogu and the two monks quickly turned around and stopped talking.

In the direction of Gao Qiu's finger, the old prince-consor Wang Shu and the beautiful woman in one or three years slowly walked up to a small bridge and headed to the place where everyone gathered.

After getting closer, Wu Haogu discovered that the woman was actually a stunning woman. Her eyebrows seemed to be frowning but not frowning, her pair of affectionate eyes looked at her, her face seemed to be sad, and her face looked a little charming, and her body was full of charm.

Even Wu Haogu, who is in his heart, suddenly saw this woman and she couldn't help but feel admiration and pity.

Wang Shu and the woman walked straight towards Wu Haogu. Wu Haogu hurriedly stepped forward a few steps and bowed to Wang Shu, "Xiao Diwu Haogu has seen Wang's prince consort."

Wang Shu nodded, and before he could speak, the beautiful woman beside him smiled and said, "Are you the unparalleled Wu Dalang?"

"You dare not be the unparalleled one in the world, but Wu Dalang is here."

The beautiful woman smiled, "I am Li Shishi. I wonder if I can ask Dalang to draw a piece of paper for the slave?"

Wu Haogu was stunned when he heard this.

Isn’t Li Shishi the mistress of Song Huizong? Now Song Huizong is still a young man, how could Li Shishi be a beautiful woman?

This is not very suitable for this age...

No, Li Shishi is indeed a long-famous kaoji. Thinking of Li Shishi, a lot of content related to her suddenly surged into Wu Haogu's mind.

It turns out that before the soul was replaced, Wu Haogu knew Li Shishi's name. This Li Shishi had long been a famous genius and the courtesan lady. Zhang Xian, Yan Jidao, Qin Guan, Zhou Bangyan and other Song lyrics have all dated him. And they also left behind many popular poems.

For example, Zhang Xian created the lyrics "Shi Shi Ling" for Li Shi Shi Shi, and Yan Daoji's famous line "The distant mountains have long eyebrows and long dark eyebrows, thin willows and waists. After makeup, the spring breeze makes me smile, and a thousand golds are young. When I returned to Fengcheng, I said to the brothel: Looking at the flowers in Yingchuan is not as good as Shi Shi."

In addition, Qin Guan, who was respected as a genius of the Gentle and Rural School, also left a famous saying "I saw Shishi tonight in the past year, with wine red on her cheeks, half-rolled curtains, and a faint light, and a dew on her, and smoke curled up her mouth."

Among them, Zhang Xian passed away twenty years ago, Yan Jidao is also sixty years old this year, Qin Guan, Qin Shaoyou is a little younger, and he is also an old man in his fifties.

The famous genius who can interact with these older generations of literati and poets will naturally not be too young.

It seems that Song Huizong used to like older mature women...

"What? Is it inconvenient?" The woman who claimed to be Li Shishi asked with a smile.

"It's convenient, it's convenient." Wuhao Ancient Road, "When someone returns to Beijing from Haizhou, he will take photos of Lady Li."

As he spoke, he thought to himself: I don’t know if there would be a famous painting "Li Shishi's Photo Album" by Wu Dalang of the Northern Song Dynasty in the Palace Museum in later generations?

Li Shishi smiled sweetly and said softly: "Dalang, I'll wait in Qingyi Building in Zhen'anfang, don't ask me to wait too long."
