Chapter 1220 Guan Pu

Chapter 1,220 Guan Pu

Su You shook his head and said, "I never turn off Pu."

The hawker said: "There's nothing we can do about it. Why don't you, sir, please look elsewhere?"

Just as Su You was about to put down the jade stove, Liang Yi Duobi asked, "What about Guan Pu? What about ordering?"

The hawker said: "It's a lot of money to buy it for a penny. Guanpu is about fighting for purity and shooting lions. This jade furnace is worth five guan. Let's play six guan. Sir, you only need to pay 80 penny. I won the prize. This object

You can take it away.”

"What is Liuchun?"

"Huh? Just throw six Tongbao. If the blank side faces up, it means you hit the target."

"Is there such a good thing?" Liang Yi was moved: "Then what if I pay a lot of money?"

The hawker's eyes lit up: "Well, sir, you can fight twelve times, and I will spare you three more times for free, making up fifteen times. As long as you hit one of the fifteen times, the thing will be yours."

Seeing Liang Yi Duo Mi eager to give it a try, Su You couldn't help but laugh and said, "Then let's pierce the lion."

The hawker said: "If you pierce a lion, you still get 80 coins. If you pierce two and hit two, you take it."

Su You smiled and took out a hundred-wen treasure note and put it on the table: "I'll give you one hundred yuan, Cheng Yue!"

Cheng Yue walked up and picked up two small darts on the table: "Stab the lion, right?"

The vendor quickly said: "Wait a minute while I go to shake the turntable!"

The turntable is an upright circular plate with eight grids and eight animals drawn on it.

The vendor turned the plate and said, "That's it."

Cheng Yue shook his hand, and the dart shot out. With a "click" sound, it hit the lion's left eye on the turntable.

The vendor was frightened and was about to spin the plate faster, but Cheng Yue was faster than him. The dart shot again, and this time, it hit the lion's right eye.

The hawker's face turned pale and he said dejectedly: "I'm impressed by this noble servant's magical skills. Now, this jade furnace... you can take it away."

Su You took out Sanguan from his bag again: "I just told you that I never turn off the stove. Keep the money and the stove belongs to me."

The hawker didn't expect things to turn around like this, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and bowed his hands repeatedly: "Thank you so much, sir! Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness! You are really kind-hearted..."

Su You ignored him and asked Liang Yi to continue shopping at the stall. Cheng Yue grabbed the stove and followed him.

Su You and Liang Yi Duo Mi explained: "Starting from the Yuan Dynasty in the Song Dynasty, they could not help but close the door for three days, but what they bought could never be sold. It seemed that eighty cents could be exchanged for five guan, but in fact, from the perspective of science and engineering,

These eighty cents actually only buy a sixty-fourth chance."

"Even if I command you to use the same amount of money to buy fifteen opportunities, you will only have a 20% certainty, and the winning rate is very small."

"Shooting a lion is actually the same. However, Brother Cheng is a great expert and has great martial arts skills. Only he can afford such a gamble."

Only then did Liang Yiduobian realize: "If the Duke hadn't reminded me, I would have fallen into the trap of the hawker."

Su You said with a smile: "Even if you fall into a trap, it's only five coins, so you shouldn't just laugh at it."

Liang Yiduo smiled and said, "If such a cunning villain encounters me in Xingqing Mansion, I will first take him to the Yamen and give him a beating. The Duke is still too good-tempered."

Su You said: "You can't say that people are cunning. The Song Dynasty can play like this these days. If you fall into the trap, you can only blame yourself for being too greedy and can't blame others."

Liang Yiduo looked at the excited crowd around him and couldn't help but sigh: "But how many people in the world can restrain this greed?"

Su You also shook his head: "Yes, even a jade incense burner is like this. If it is a national treasure, I don't know what to do with it."

Liang Yi was stunned and couldn't help but stop.

Su You turned around and said, "What's wrong, Brother Liang? If we take two more steps, we'll be at the pig roasting yard."

Liang Yiduo Mi quickly followed up: "It's nothing. The Duke's words were so philosophical that I lost my mind for a moment."

Arriving at the pig-roasting house, Monk Huiming came over. He was wearing a short monk's robe, but with an oil cook's apron tied around his waist: "Old guest is here, please take a seat! So that the father-in-law can know that early this morning, the monk

So I went to the butcher shop and got the freshest tenderloin, liver loin, and a butt knife, but I didn’t dare to be careless!"

Liang Yiduo couldn't help but feel that everything in the Song Dynasty was bizarre: "And... a monk?"

Su You said: "Monk Huiming's skill at roasting pigs is excellent. By the way, Monk Daolong has hidden some good incense in the temple. Huiming, you can go get some later. There are many masters of incense in the temple, right? There are many people in the temple.

Please come, I am the master of this."

Huiming said: "Don't bother the presiding monk. The Chenghui family's Fansao is a great connoisseur. She was so glamorous in the past that she dominated the capital. Just leave this matter to her. Novice boy, go and ask Fansao to come over."

"No, no, no, no..." Su You quickly stopped and handed the jade stove to the little monk: "No one is here, please ask Sister Fan to prepare the incense burner. Little Master, you can just bring it over."

Huiming looked like a pimp with a big teapot: "My lord, you really don't want to see Mrs. Fan? The prodigal children in the capital can't see you for a while, but you have admired me for a long time, and you are sure to come at the first move!"

"Get lost!" Su You gave Huiming a kick: "Get food carefully! If you don't cook well, I will tell Monk Daolong to send you to Wutai Mountain to place orders!"

Mount Wutai is now on the border of Song and Liao, which is not a good place.

After driving away the over-enthusiastic Huiming, Su You began to cook tea for Liang Yiduo: "It made the commander laugh."

Liang Yiduo was dumbfounded: "This monk from the Daxiangguo Temple, this... has a strong sense of public spirit."

Su You smiled and said: "These are not serious monks, they are more like citizens who rely on Xiangguo Temple for food. They used to covet a tax exemption."

"Now the Daxiangguo Temple is an example for temples in the world. The monk fields under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture have been required to pay land tax since I was the prefect. Later, when selling incense and medicine, they had to pay land tax."

"Now what Huiming and the others are interested in is the booming popularity of Daxiangguo Temple."

Liang Yi Duomi said: "Monks are also a big burden in Xixia. The people of the country support monks and dig caves and statues, which is quite wasteful."

Su You said: "Actually, as long as you pay taxes as a whole and don't become a burden to the country, I think it doesn't matter what kind of life you like and you can afford it."

Liang Yiduo buried his head and shook his head: "How can it be so simple? Just as the Duke said, what they covet is the small amount of tax relief they can get from the temple. In the end, it is the country that loses."

Su You added tea to Liang Yiduo and said, "Just take your time. If you know something is wrong and don't correct it, that would be a dereliction of duty on the part of those in power."

The two chatted for a while, then they saw the little novice monk coming over with a jade incense burner: "Sister-in-law Fan said that the ancient ambergris four-harmony method she used for the bachelor, the first flavor was South China Sea jasmine, then Fujian jasmine, and after a long time there was dragon musk.

Take Chen Tan and spread it with ambergris saliva. I wonder if it is consistent with the intention of a bachelor?"

Su You nodded: "Fresh and jasmine are great with tea. After that, dragon musk and sandalwood are also good to accompany the wine. Thank you for her thoughtfulness."

The little novice monk said: "Sister-in-law Fan also said that if the prince is in trouble next time, please bring the ambergris yourself. It is too delicate and expensive, and she doesn't have much here. Other spices are not a problem."

Su You quickly apologized: "Yes, it's me who caused trouble for her. Tell her that I'm very satisfied with the fragrance she mixed. I'll give her some ambergris next time I come over."

The young novice placed the incense burner on the high stool beside the table. As expected, the subtle fragrance smelled and the atmosphere suddenly changed.

Su You took out a small silver coin and said, "This is a small imported coin. It's worth a hundred cash. It's rare in Beijing. I gave it to you to play with."

The young novice took it with both hands, titheed it again, and then left.

Liang Yiduo sighed with emotion: "It is really rare for a prince to be rich and noble, but not to be arrogant about his wealth."

Su You added more tea to Liang Yiduo: "You are overthinking it again. It is actually easy for me not to be proud of others because of their wealth. They do not change their colors because of their wealth. This is truly rare. This is why I like this place."

After exchanging courtesy with Liang Yi and having a drink each, Su Youcai said: "Before the festival, I heard that the commander was looking for me, but what happened?"

Liang Yi Duomi said: "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that I was serving as an envoy for the first time. I was afraid of losing my etiquette. I thought that in the court of the Song Dynasty, I would only have an old relationship with the Duke of the country, so I wanted to look at him and ask for advice. I wanted to understand what the Song Dynasty was like now.
