The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 55
After eating, Chen Jingke came to the front yard, checked the preparations again to confirm that there was no problem, and then said: "Open the door and welcome the guests."

Yang Tianlu took a step forward and yelled loudly: "Open~door~"

All the Taoist priests put up their utmost energy, lest they make mistakes later.

Zhike took a deep breath from Qi, and said to his subordinate Daotong: "Do you still remember what I taught you before? Four of you stand on the left, and four of you stand on the right. Remember, you must be neither humble nor overbearing."

A group of Taoist boys replied with tense faces, "Here."

Then Cong Qi said to Gong Xun, the inspector: "We are ready, let's open the door."

Gong Xun nodded and said to his subordinates, "Open the door."

The four Taoist boys took off the door bolt, dragging the heavy door two by two with difficulty.With the sound of "creaking" sound, the door was slowly opened.

Cong Qi brought eight Taoist boys to the gate and stood up, as if to welcome guests.

Not only the Taoist priests inside were nervous, but the people outside were not much better either. Seeing the gate opened, the originally noisy square immediately quieted down.

No one dared to rush in first, the first ones were all the family members of princes and nobles, no one dared to run into them.And these family members are people of status, and they will not rush in without shame.

In fact, everyone has a rough judgment on who is advanced and who is behind.

The family members of Gao Shilian, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Li Daozong and others were undoubtedly the first batch to enter, and it was the turn of others to enter later.

Standing at the top of the steps at the gate, looking at a large group of ladies in front of him, Cong Qi couldn't help his heart beat faster.Taking a deep breath, according to the previous rehearsal, he waved the whisk in his hand and said:
"Welcome to all blessed Lords."

The eight Taoist boys standing on both sides sang in unison: "Welcome to all blessed masters."

This time, the group of noble ladies were fooled. Is it to let in or not to let in?

However, Cong Qi's next sentence gave the answer: "Respectfully invite the Lord of Blessings to enter the contemplation."

Eight Taoist boys: "Respectfully invite the blessed Lord to enter the temple."

The crowd no longer had any doubts, and a group of noble ladies stepped into the gate, and went to each hall to offer incense under the guidance of Zhike Daotong.

In the distance, Li Chengqian said with interest: "This way of welcoming guests is rare and interesting."

Du He nodded and said: "It's really ingenious. There are rumors that Sun Zhenren wants to set up a different school. It seems that it should be true."

Li Chengqian knew about Journey to the West, but he knew the seriousness of the matter and did not tell Du He. Instead, he looked around and said, "Let's go, let's go in and have a look."

The two of them followed the flow of people and entered the temple on foot.

Inside the temple, Chen Jingke and Yang Tianlu were hiding aside to observe the pilgrims.

The main thing is that Yang Tianlu identified the visitors one by one. He will be in the capital in the future, and getting to know dignitaries is a basic requirement.

Chen Jingke didn't pay attention to the looks of these people, he knew his own affairs.Although there is no face blindness, it is difficult to remember the appearance of these people for a short time, unless the characteristics are outstanding.

He was more concerned about whether these people showed signs of trouble, and then how much money they donated.He is not interested in scraping people's money, so he can only find a way to make the rich pay more.

Then he found that these people seemed to be a little stingy, and all the things they threw into the merit box were those very small purses, which looked like they were only a few hundred cash:
"Are all the dignitaries and dignitaries of our Tang Dynasty so frugal? On the day when Zixiao Guankai is happy, is this just a small amount of money?"

Yang Tianlu obviously knew the way inside, and said with a smile: "How did the real person forget, there are dozens of temples in our Taoist temple. A donation is made to the merit box in front of each temple, which is not a small amount."

Chen Jingke suddenly understood, and said: "So that's the case, I just said, these hundreds of articles can't show the luxury of our Tang Dynasty's powerful class at all."

Yang Tianlu smiled wryly in addition to wryly.

At this moment, Chen Jingke saw several people surrounding a Taoist boy asking about something, and the Taoist boy looked embarrassed.

He thought that the other party wanted to make trouble, so he was going to show his skills in the past, and it would be best to come up with a cool plot of pretending to be slapped in the face.

It was only when he got closer that he realized that he was an acquaintance, and then he remembered the agreement made the day before, and hurried over and said, "It turns out that Brother Cheng, Brother Qin, and Brother Yuchi are here to welcome you.

These three people were Cheng Huailiang and the others, who wanted to find Chen Jingke after offering incense to Haotian, but no matter how they asked, no one told them where they were.

Of course no one would say that Chen Jingke had already emphasized before that no one would be received except the emperor and empress.

If you want to worship the gods, you can go to the temple, if you want to play, you can go around, and if you want to see their master and apprentice, please go back.

The few of them didn't have any tokens, so they asked someone to inquire about Chen Jingke's whereabouts, and they said they had an appointment, so they would naturally be misunderstood.

Chen Jingke felt ashamed, he really forgot about it.But out of face, I couldn't show it, I just apologized:

"I'm really sorry for the three elder brothers. I'm too busy today to take good care of you. I still hope Haihan."

The three of them naturally said very politely: "It's our presumptuousness to come here, don't blame the real person."

Chen Jingke wanted to invite them to rest in the backyard, and Yu Chi Xunyu said bluntly: "What are you doing in the backyard. It must be very busy today, we are not here to be guests, but to help."

"If there is any dirty work, just leave it to us to do it. I have no other skills, so I have a brute force."

As soon as these words came out, Cheng Huailiang and Qin Yandao turned their heads to one side, and Qin Yandao even moved two steps to the side.

Chen Jingke shook his head inwardly, this guy has inherited [-]% of Yuchi's mang, Cheng Yaojin in the novel should be entrusted to him to play.

But on the contrary, he liked this kind of character very much, and said with a smile: "Brother Yuchi's kindness is appreciated by me, it would be rude not to greet him in person just now, how dare I bother you for help."

Yuchi Xunyu said: "The real person said this because he didn't regard us as friends. Today I will stay here in the front yard as your gatekeeper, so that you can see my sincerity."

"This..." Chen Jingke also had a big head and didn't know what to do.

In the distance, Li Chengqian and Du He, who had just offered incense to God Haotian and were wandering in the yard, witnessed all this.

Du He said disdainfully: "A true tiger father and dog son, there is no successor to Duke Wu."

Li Chengqian also thought it was true, but naturally he couldn't say that, so he said: "Hey, the Duke of Wu is the hero of the country, Qingquan must not be disrespected. Although Yuchi Xunyu is reckless, he is also a person with true temperament..."

At this point, he couldn't boast anymore, and changed the subject: "I heard that Duke Yi and Duke Wu are married?"

Du He said: "There is this matter, Wu Guogong's granddaughter promised to Qin Yandao, and I heard that they will get married at the end of the year."

It is normal for rich and powerful to get married, Li Chengqian didn't think it was disobedient, and said with a smile: "Remember to remind me when the time comes, I will also send a generous gift there."

On the other hand, although everyone despised Yu Chi Xunyu for his recklessness and ignorance, Chen Jingke really had no choice but to allow them to help.

But one thing to say, having three more people to share the pressure really made him a lot easier.

However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw a Taoist boy running over from the gate in a hurry: "The real man is not good, he is not good, he is calling."

Chen Jingke was startled, and quickly asked, "Who is calling?"

Daotong said out of breath, "Monk, many monks are calling."
