Chapter 148: Revisiting the Old Place
Regarding Hongshi and letting him "meet" the eighth master Yinzhen, the Wulanala clan did not object, of course, this matter could not be known to Yinzhen, so if you want to do it quietly, you need to look at the movements of the eighth master Yinzhen, and then the right time, place and people are suitable in all aspects to open your mouth to Yinzhen. So the right time to go out of the house was determined and handed over to Xiao Shunzi to inquire about the news.
Kangxi's fifty-one years have passed in the seemingly unwavering but turbulent undercurrent. In the blink of an eye, it entered the fifty-second year of Kangxi.
Time passed little by little, and finally there was definite news from Xiao Shunzi's side. April 15 is the Vesak Day in Buddhism, the day of the Buddha's birth, enlightenment, and death. On this day, Yinxi was invited by the host of the Great Compassion Temple to watch the ceremony. After receiving this confirmed news, the Wulanala clan immediately begged Yinzhen to bring the ladies and children in the house to incense and pray on this day.
Yinzhen likes to read Buddhist scriptures since childhood, has a wide range of monks, and is deeply familiar with Buddhism, and has continued to meditate under the guidance of Zhang Jiaguo in the 50th year of Kangxi, and finally became enlightened, becoming a great Zen master who really participates in real enlightenment and penetrates the three levels. Therefore, it can be said that he attaches great importance to the Vesak Festival, but it is impossible for him to participate in person because of his official duties, and when he heard the Wulanala clan ask to take the female dependents of the house to watch the ceremony and pray, he naturally gladly agreed.
Early in the morning of April 15, everyone set off for the Great Compassion Temple. When I arrived at the Great Compassion Temple, looking at the unchanged style of the green mountains, I couldn't help but sigh that ten years have passed in a flash, and I have revisited the old place.
When I arrived at the temple, with the incense of the Wulanala clan and prayed for blessings, because of the noble and special status of the female heirs in the prince's mansion, the host arranged a good meditation room to rest.
Not long after the arrangements were made, Xiao Shunzi came over and whispered: "The eighth, ninth, tenth and fourteenth masters are here." The eighth master will go to the host to have a meal and discuss meditation after the ceremony, and it is estimated that he will not be able to return to his room until dinner. Gege sees when it is appropriate for Hongshi to meet with the eighth master. ”
I pondered for a moment and said, "The eighth master is insightful, why not let Hongshi follow the eighth master to host over there and accompany him, so that he can really see that this eighth uncle's reputation is worthy of." ”
Xiao Shunzi understood the order and exited the room.
The climate in April has given birth to the sullenness of early summer, sitting alone in the room, for the word Jiuye mentioned in Xiao Shunzi's sentence, many emotions come to my heart. Thinking back to the first time I came to the Great Compassion Temple, I was so humble and cautious everywhere, that is, I had to think about the days when I had to think about it again and again, and then look at it now, although I am still qualified, but I have Yinzhen's favoritism, there is the protection of Fu Jin, and there are heirs, and the status is no longer the same, and I am much more comfortable in acting. Looking at all these things that I got after putting down my body, I asked myself if the forbearance and stubbornness at the beginning were worth it, and the answer was still yes. At least at that time, I was still able to keep my original heart, although it was difficult, but I had a clear conscience. However, today, when I spread out my palms, although I was not stained with blood, the original heart was gone.
"It's very stuffy in this house, the back mountain is quiet and cool, the child is handed over to Mama Xia and Xiao Shunzi to take care of, you accompany me out to walk around at will," I said to Aster.
Along the way, I unconsciously came to the place where I met Yinyu back then, but I didn't expect to meet that familiar figure at the mountain stream pavilion. The memories that had been sealed ten years ago jumped into my mind like a sea of mountains, and although the original feelings were no longer there, they were still inevitably mixed.
At the moment of my arrival, the figure also saw me at the same time, and the two men looked at each other for a long time, and did not move for a long time, until the sound of the aster salute sounded, which interrupted the inexplicable silence.
"You wait far away, I have something to say to the Ninth Master," I said to Aster.
Aster bowed her head, I walked into the pavilion, and said politely and distantly: "Greetings to the Ninth Master, I never thought I would meet here, I was disturbed, I hope you will forgive me." ”
"After so many years, I didn't expect you to remember here" Yinyu's tone was flat, but the tone of his voice unconsciously revealed fluctuations, revealing the hidden emotions in his heart.
"A lot of things are not too deliberately remembered, but they will always inadvertently start to trace at all times, maybe they are too profound, and they have been deeply rooted in the bone marrow of the mind. Sensing his subtle emotions, I deliberately concealed my thoughts as I had done in the past, and just said indifferently.
"You have changed a lot, but the fourth brother has treated you well, and now that you have an heir, you must have fulfilled your wish. Because of my honesty and indifference, Yinyu's emotions slowly calmed down, and he sighed lonely.
"Do you mean that you only want to be safe and secure?" or do you want to have the delusions of a single-minded person?" I smiled coldly and asked mockingly, "You have always planted a lot of eyeliner in the house, don't you know how my life is now?"
"After Zhang's incident, I withdrew all the contacts arranged in the backyard. How are you doing, but a few words from the lips of some people in the front yard. Yin Yu lowered his eyes and responded: "I won't do anything you don't like." ”
Yinyu's answer made me speechless, and I only felt a shadow in my heart hurt.
The words "thank you" came out of his mouth from the bottom of his heart, but then he reined in his thoughts and said in a shallow voice: "If I don't like something, you won't do it, then if I say that I don't like you to help the eighth master compete with the fourth master, won't you do it?"
Yin Yu was silent after my question, and said: "Some things can't be mixed up, in my opinion, starling is more suitable to be a benevolent monarch than the fourth brother, not to mention that I have been friends with starling since childhood, how can I not help him." These things are too profound, you can explain them in a word, you women don't understand, don't get involved at will. ”
"That's it, let me say it, since ancient times, the battle for the throne has been a succession or defeat, and once you choose, you can't turn back. Now you and I are destined to be our own masters, but no matter what the final result is, I hope that you can be well, have no chance in this life, no extravagance in the next life, only forget each other, and never entangle. "I knew that persuasion was useless, so I could only say it resolutely and turn away.
"If there is an afterlife, I will not let go, the weak water is three thousand, and I am only waiting for one person" The sentence that sounded behind him slammed into the bottom of his heart and caused a ripple in the softest place.
I didn't look back, and I didn't dare to look back, I stiffened and walked the way I came, leaving behind me with a distant gaze.
On the way back to the meditation room, I said to Aster: "Don't mention the matter of the Ninth Master to anyone today, even if it is Qian Gege, you can't reveal half a point, otherwise I am afraid that I will tell the truth and give people a handle." ”
Aster pursed her lips without saying a word, nodded, her eyes were a little deep, and she didn't know what she was thinking, but because of the episode just now, she didn't notice her abnormality, and she was destined to be a hundred secrets in the future. (To be continued.) )
