Chapter 36: Interpretation Flower 7
When the beggar left, Zhao Ran beckoned to A-Ning who was in the dark of the alley.
"Young Master, what do you command? A-Ning hurried over.
"Go and inquire for me which temple Master He's concubine lives in. Zhao Ran paused and said, "Most of this temple is in the eastern suburbs. ”
A-Ning nodded after hearing this, and then turned to leave.
Zhaoran turned his head, only to find that Jiuru had entered the tea shop not far away, he hurriedly followed, Zhaoran sat down on the second floor, looked at the traffic and horses gradually coming downstairs, and couldn't help but chuckle: "I only went to Fayan Temple yesterday to donate incense money, and I became an immortal at night, which is also a coincidence." ”
"Didn't you tell Wantong that this matter ended here? How can you still check?" Jiuru asked for a pot of Lu'an tea, and asked for some salt and ginger, and sat there and couldn't help but mix tea slowly.
Zhao Ran looked at the excitement below: "Some things can be passed, and some things must be clear." ”
Jiuru glanced at him and didn't say anything.
Zhao Ran withdrew his gaze from downstairs, leaned his face over with bad intentions, and said: "Uncle Jiuru, if this Master He really becomes an immortal when he turns around, won't the name of the National Teacher Tower be covered by someone." ”
"Say so much, be thirsty, drink water. Jiuru picked up the mixed tea and added him a cup of tea.
His finger bones are slender, and at first glance, he still has a little weakness, but it is obvious that he has seen these fingers pinching the intolerant pharyngeal roar bone into flying ashes, but he doesn't dare to underestimate it, so he coughed twice and took a few sips of tea, but couldn't help but ask again: "You really don't care?"
Jiuru glanced out the window: "As long as he doesn't die and come back alive, I don't care how famous he is." ”
Zhao Ran cautiously asked, "That immortal family also has life and death?"
Jiuru steadily added some water to his cup and said: "There is life and death in the world. ”
Zhao Ran had no choice but to change the subject: "That kid came out." ”
----
The beggar came out with a bucket of ash, and went downstairs with him into the alley, where he pulled out a pot of green leek leaves.
"Master, you take care of it, don't bury it in the ashes, you can't get out of the house just holding this flower pot, I'm a temporary subordinate after all. ”
Zhaoran squatted down and dusted off the leaves, and then happily threw the silver ingot to the beggar.
The beggar was also a clever man, and he walked away with the silver ingot in his hand and disappeared.
Aning was only a few steps slower than the beggar, but he didn't come out until the beggar left, and when he saw Zhaoran smiling at the pot of green leaves, he asked, "Young Master, is this pot related to the death of Master Hefu?"
"I don't know. ”
"Then ......" A-Ning was a little puzzled.
Zhao Ran said: "This pot is called shallots and rue, and the book says that it can avoid obstacles." ”
A-Ning pursed her lips and smiled: "Isn't it garlic?"
It happened that Jiuru also came in from the mouth of the alley, and Zhao Ran laughed and said: "This elegant name is indeed rarely mentioned, and everyone usually calls it garlic." ”
"Why bother to get a pot of garlic leaves, young master?"
Zhao Ran said: "The Li Mansion moved here two months ago, two months ago it happened to be the time for garlic planting, he was busy moving, how could he think of planting garlic? ”
"So......" Aning muttered.
"It was sent by someone. "Nine as the road.
"Don't you think it's strange, who would send a pot of garlic to Master He?" said Zhao Ran frowned.
"It turns out that the young master also has something he doesn't know. A-Ning laughed.
Zhao Ran sighed: "There are actually a lot of things that I don't know about your young master." "He told the truth, he didn't even know who he was.
Jiuru couldn't help but glance at him, as if he was surprised that this person also had modest times.
Zhaoran squinted at a glance to know what he meant, and wanted to tease a few words, but found that the corners of Jiuru's mouth were slightly curved, and the crescent moon seemed to appear faintly on his lips, he couldn't help but shout in his heart, no wonder this little Buddha never smiled on weekdays.
Laughing at others like this, where can he still be a Buddha, he sighed in his heart, thinking that it is not easy for the little Buddha to pretend on weekdays, just that, he will always find you a white-skinned and beautiful one, and he will not wronged you.
A-Ning smiled on the side: "There is nothing wrong with garlic, that is, it is easy to raise, and it is not ugly, except that it will not bloom, how much is it like daffodils? Besides, didn't the young master also say, does garlic still have an elegant name called shallots and rue?"
Zhao Ran smiled, held the garlic and said, "How is the matter that asked you to inquire?"
A Ning said: "The concubine of this family is called Yunxian, I heard that it was originally a foreign room, and then she became pregnant, so she returned home." However, Mrs. He was a little unhappy, and the concubine was also clever, so she invited herself to the temple before she left the house. This temple was really expected by you, young master...... Indeed, in the eastern suburbs. ”
Zhao Ran was not ashamed: "Young master, I can pinch and calculate, which temple?"
A-Ning pursed her lips and smiled: "It is a small temple, located in Jixiang Nunnery outside Chaoyang Gate." ”
"Yoshika-an......"
A Ning nodded, and said: "I just inquired about this Jixiang Nunnery, and it was actually donated by Master He, saying that Master He sold his mansion in the capital and built this temple to accommodate some lonely women to enter the temple. ”
Zhao Ran said: "No wonder they are moving. He looked at the garlic leaf in his hand and smiled, "It doesn't seem to be far from here, so let's go and have a look." ”
A-Ning peeked at Jiuru, and saw that Jiuru didn't have any different meanings, and it seemed that she would go with her, she thought that it would take a lot of effort to get close to the Buddha, but it turned out to be so easy, because the Buddha had been following them all the time......
"I'm still stunned to do something, go find the car. Zhao Ran said.
Ah Ning came back to his senses at this time, bowed his head and said, "Yes, the servant will go now." ”
Zhaoran looked at her back and shook his head, this little goblin thought about it, but the goddess has intentions, King Xiang has no dreams, it's not that I won't help you, but you can't get into Jiuru's eyes.
Speaking of which, what kind of Jiuru likes it, it is quite nerve-wracking.
----
Chaoyang Gate is connected to the waterway outside, so Chaoyang Gate is also called the grain gate, the grain transported into Beijing from other provinces will pass through this gate, there are many granaries nearby, when Zhaoran just entered Beijing, he lived here, and saw Zhang Xiaobai.
In addition to the abundance of food outside Chaoyang Gate, there are many beggars, many of whom are disabled, and they sit along the official road outside.
Seeing this, Ah Ning explained, "These are not beggars, they are people waiting to be admitted to the nursing home. (Note: The Ming Dynasty used the welfare home for some orphans, widows, disabled and unable to survive, that is, the beggars in the Ming Dynasty were raised by the state) but the number of nursing homes has always been fixed, and they waited outside, and when there was a vacancy, they could go in to live for the rest of their lives. ”
Zhao Ran smiled and said: "That's right, if you live around here, there are many wealthy officials in the capital, even if you can't get in for a while, you won't starve to death." ”
"That is, our Jiang Mansion is a famous good person here. Aning said.
Zhaoran glanced at her obliquely, and said in his heart that he had only started calling us for a few days, but unfortunately he looked sweet and his mouth was sweet, how could he be disdainful.
----
There are more than a dozen temples in the eastern suburbs, and Jixiang'an is not very eye-catching in it, and even because it is a new temple, there are almost no pilgrims, and the temple door is still closed at noon.
Jiuru knocked on the door, and it took a long time before someone came, and a nun opened the temple door, smiled and took the flower pot in her hand and said, "I am entrusted by Master Aihe, come and send pots to Mrs. Sister-in-law." ”
The nun said "ahhhh
As soon as they crossed the mountain gate, they were stopped by the old nun: "Poor Nifayin has seen two donors. ”
"I was entrusted by Master He to deliver pots. Zhaoran raised the flower pot in his hand.
Fa Yin said: "Who are you? If you talk nonsense like this again, don't blame the poor nun for being rude." ”
"Nonsense?"
Fa Yin said calmly: "Mrs. He has passed away, how can Master He send you to send a pot of rue incense to her?"
"Dead and buried?" Zhao Ran withdrew the flower pot in his hand and couldn't help asking, "When is it?"
"Two days ago. Fa Yin spoke, "Mrs. He was originally the reincarnation of the Buddha's mother, and she had realized the Tao before she died, and she came to the temple just to find a suitable quiet place to go to the Western Bliss. ”
"Mother Buddha?" Zhao Ran glanced at the Buddha next to him.
Jiuru opened his mouth to explain: "The Buddha mother is the Peacock Ming King, the legend says that when the Buddha learned the Tao in front of the Buddha in the past, he devoured the Peacock Ming King who was good at eating human flesh, and the Buddha broke his back and came out, so the Peacock Ming King is also called the Buddha Mother." ”
Zhaoran sighed in his heart, thinking that the Peacock King was so good at eating human flesh that even the Buddha dared to swallow it, when he was arrogant and violent, he was reincarnated not only as a woman, but also as a human concubine, just because he gave birth to a child?
Fa Yin said to Jiuru with his hands together: "Good, it seems that the donor is also a person who is a Buddha." ”
Zhao Ran couldn't help but ask Jiuru: "Do you really believe it?"
Jiuru replied quite blandly: "I don't believe a word." ”
Zhao Ran couldn't help laughing, Fa Yin's face was slightly bad, Zhao Ran waved his hand and said: "Don't be angry, it's not that we are disrespectful to the Buddha, but we don't want to worship the fake Buddha, so let's go and give Miss Yunxian a pillar of incense, I have a few words to say to her." ”
Fa Yin pondered for a moment before he said, "Please come with me, two donors." ”
She led them straight to the side hall, only to see that there was a tablet set up on it, on the position of the He family's Yunxian, and she looked at the tablet for a while and said, "Where is her body buried?"
Fa Yin clasped his hands together and said: "On the night when the Buddha Mother came to the temple, she gave us a Buddha decree, ordering us to quietly observe the sutra and send the Buddha Mother out of the mortal body, and then the Buddha Mother sat cross-legged in the tower behind the temple, and helped the Buddha to get rid of the mortal dust with karmic fire. ”
"That is, it is burned to ashes......" Zhaoran muttered.
Fa Yin's eyes drooped slightly: "If the two donors have nothing else to do, the poor nun will not be far away." ”
"I haven't offered incense yet. Zhaoran took out two sticks of incense, thought about it and said leisurely: "There is a Fayan Temple outside the Changyi Gate, which is a royal temple, and a female official named Yifang is missing in the temple. So he said that there was no breath of Fang outside Fayan Temple, so I thought that Fang Fang was still staying in Fayan Temple, but now I think I was mistaken, Ji Fang did not stay in the temple, but she used a method to jump directly to a mile away from Fayan Temple. ”
Zhaoran looked at the incense burning between her fingers: "How did she go? On the fifteenth day of the first day of the Fayan Temple, she gave soup porridge and rice, so she left the Fayan Temple while sitting in the millet porridge, so the dog slave couldn't smell her breath." But if she wants to do this, she needs someone to cooperate, because she can hide Qiu Rong, who can't hide from anyone who counts the supplies, so the person who helps her leave should be Qiu Rong. Fayan Temple made a lot of relief food that day, presumably using a lot of water, the ground was very wet, and the two of them stepped on the wetland to move the porridge bucket from the car, because it was necessary to pour out a little, and only one person could sit in the bucket to go in...... Later, Qiu Rong not only concealed how Fang escaped, but also brought back a change of clothes for her, wiped her shoes clean and put them back in the house, and faked the illusion that she was on duty that night. ”
He fanned the incense with his hand and extinguished the incense: "Now she doesn't know where she went, so I asked the Bodhisattva to pass on a Buddha's decree to her for me, and said that I was ...... will chase her to the ends of the earth. ”
As he spoke, he inserted the incense into the Buddha furnace, turned around and left.
----
He walked out of the mountain gate and stretched, looked back at Jiuru and said, "Let's go eat barbecue." ”
"It's time for me to go back. Jiuru said.
"Go back now?" Zhao Ran was a little regretful, looked at his back and said, "Then I'll find Miss and I'll come to you!"
"Okay. Jiuru had already left, and even his back was gone, but those two words seemed to be said by Zhaoran's ears.
A Ning said: "Young Master, you are like this...... Right, right?"
"What's wrong, isn't it natural to marry a wife and eat meat, and to be a human being?" Zhao Ran didn't care at all, he picked up a piece of the leaf and put it in his mouth and blew it, and felt that it was as clear and elegant as Jiuru, and he couldn't even make a sound, so he blew hard, and the leaf sprayed out, and there was a "flutter" sound in his mouth.
A Ning couldn't help but say, "Young Master!"
"It's so hard to blow. He threw away all the leaves in his hand, and then got into the carriage without looking back.
He got into the carriage, and took out the immortal talisman that Master He took from the He Mansion, thinking to himself which carriage did Master He take to the Heavenly Palace?
He simply closed his eyes and recuperated, and when he was half-asleep, he suddenly heard A-Ning shouting in front of him: "Who are you, why are you blocking our car?"
Zhaoran's head stretched out of the car, and he saw the person riding on the horse, and he said "ouch" in his heart, this person is tall and mighty, who is Wang Zeng, who is not the horse master of the dynasty?
He couldn't help but look around, and found that although the carriage was on the official road, there were woods on both sides, and the terrain was a little off, and when he shouted at this time, Jiuru's ears were afraid that he would not be able to hear it.
Thinking like this, Zhao Ran hurriedly raised his hand and greeted enthusiastically: "Master Horse, don't come unharmed! I was going to your banquet, but I had no choice but to make an appointment with the Buddha to enjoy the plum blossoms, and I just came back, so it is better for me to go into the city and invite Master Horse to drink two cups." ”
Wang Zeng said: "I have a courtyard here, go there and drink." ”
"No, no, let's go into the city to drink, lively. ”
Wang Zeng pulled the reins of the horse and said, "Why, Young Master Rong can't look down on Ben Hou's other courtyard?"
"That's ......," Zhao Ran laughed dryly.
A-Ning lowered his voice and said, "Young Master." ”
Zhao Ran hurriedly grabbed her, he believed that A-Ning had some ability, but the Bai family raised birds, if the eagle-riding Yingning came, there would still be a glimmer of hope of escaping.
He was afraid that A-Ning would make a mistake, so he took her hand and said with a smile: "This is the most trusted concubine of the emperor today, he invited us to drink, it was an honor." ”
After Zhaoran finished speaking, he looked at Wang Zengmei and said with a smile: "That little student will talk about the master of the horse, I will let the maid go back to report a message, so as not to worry the family." ”
