Chapter 9 Daoyan

On the morning of the second day, Zhang Zhaohua went to the middle hall to accompany Princess Xu for breakfast. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 When Princess Xu saw her, she said: "I sent a few snacks you made to His Royal Highness yesterday, and the sugar dip is the most pleasing to him." ”

"The father thinks it's good, and the son-in-law doesn't do it in vain," Zhang Zhaohua said happily: "It's just that the sugar dips as its name suggests, there is too much sugar, and the taste is bitter and greasy after eating too much, and this thing is still fried, which is easy to cause stomach fire, so it's better to eat less." ”

"You're right," Princess Xu patted her hand and said with a smile: "Listen to the words of the palace doctor, just let him eat one or two pieces in the morning, and don't eat this at night, otherwise it will be easy to sleep badly." ”

After breakfast, the two of them set off, in fact, they had something to do today.

Princess Xu has three sons and three daughters, in order of age, Yong'an, Gao Chi, Yongping, Gao Xu, Gao Sui, An Cheng, Xianning, all of which are her own births, and the palace also has the youngest county lord, Changning County Lord, who is nine years old this year, and her biological mother died early, and she was also raised by the princess's side. However, in addition to them, in fact, a child was born in the house three years ago, a boy, also known as Zhu Gaoxian.

He was born on December 24, the 24th year of Hongwu, but died within a month after birth, and the house seemed to be a little evasive about his life experience, Zhang Zhaohua didn't ask much, and she also knew the measure.

Zhu Gaoxian died on January 17, the 25th year of Hongwu, and the bones were put into the Buddhist hall of Qingshou Temple, and the king of Yan and the princess gave him an ever-bright lamp in front of the Buddha and worshiped it every day. However, this is not enough, from January 17 to February 17 every year, Zhu Gaosui, the princess's own son, will be allowed to recite scriptures in the temple for a month to pray for the younger brother.

They are going to pick up Gao Sui in Qingshou Temple today, and the time for this month has come.

The car was driving on the road, and Zhang Zhaohua looked a little tired when the princess's eyes were slightly closed, and she knew that she was afraid that she didn't sleep well last night.

"Mother," Zhang Zhaohua spread out the brocade quilt in the car and said softly, "You can sleep for a while." ”

"If you don't sleep, you won't be able to sleep for long," Princess Xu said: "Qingshou Temple is not far away, and it will be there in a while." ”

Sure enough, after less than a quarter of an hour, the sedan chair stopped, and they arrived at Qingshou Temple.

Qingshou Temple is one of the official temples of the Jin Dynasty, founded in the 26th year of Jin Zhangzong Dading, because there are twin towers in the temple, so it is also called the Twin Towers Temple. The twin towers are all octagonal brick towers, arranged side by side from east to west. One is the nine-level Haiyun Tower, the tower is called "Haiyun Master Tower", built in the seventh year of Mengke Khan, the Emperor of Mongolia, and said: "The tower of the holy national teacher of the Buddha is given in the light of the day." Master Yun is, the abbot of Qingshou Temple, because he tried his best to save the people during the war, Jin Xuanzong gave Haiyun Tongyuan Guanghui the title of master, and built this tower after his death.

The other is the seven-level Ke'an Tower, which was built in the eighth year of the Mongolian Xianzong MΓΆngke Khan. The name of the tower is "Ke'an Master Ling Pagoda", and the forehead says: "The Buddha Ri Yuan Zhao Great Zen Master Ke'an Spirit Tower", which is built to commemorate the abbot of Qingshou Temple.

Qingshou Temple was once used as the Qingshou Palace of the Jin Dynasty and the merit temple of the prince of the Yuan Dynasty, and it was brilliant for a while. This temple is still at the peak of incense, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going. Zhang Zhaohua is in front of the temple, and when he looks up, he can see that there are two exquisite and beautiful, majestic and magnificent brick towers in the southwest corner of the temple, standing on the left and right, under the reflection of the rising sun, it is more simple and majestic.

She followed Princess Xu into the temple, and soon a monk in a robe came to greet her, who seemed to know what the princess was coming to do, and after bowing, they silently led the way in front. Walking in the temple to know how big this place is, from the gate to the largest hall between there is a huge square, it seems to be able to accommodate three or four thousand people, can be called magnificent.

The area of the Daxiong Treasure Hall should be the largest Buddha hall that Zhang Zhaohua has seen since the two lifetimes, here is the place where the monks practice in the morning and evening, the Buddha statue in the hall is densely placed on both sides of the three or four hundred yellow stalks, it can be seen how many monks do morning and evening classes in the hall.

After Zhang Zhaohua and the princess offered incense to the Buddha in the hall, they were led by the monks to the back. Bypassing the three main halls, Zhang Zhaohua was shocked again, because the backyard of the temple covers an area of 100 hectares, with a pine and a beautiful courtyard, and even a gurgling stream flowing through the lotus pond, which is comparable to the scenery of the palace garden.

Because it is two streams that flow into respectively, so the thing is also built two small bridges, there are two stele pavilions in front of this small bridge, the stele is divided into books "Feihong Bridge", "Feidu Bridge", the pen is vigorous, it is written by Jin Zhangzong himself. Cross the small bridge, in front is the Ten Thousand Buddha Palace, also known as the Ten Thousand Buddha Wall, make the cabinet shape with stone, and set up the door, enshrine ten thousand bronze Buddha statues listed in it, each Buddha statue is lit in front of a candle, the light is penetrating, solemn and majestic, so that the whole hall is like the pure land of the Buddha country protected by the Buddhas of the ten directions.

However, this was not the end, the princess just re-lit the nine candles here, and after worshipping, she followed the monk to the back. After passing through the centuries-old ancient trees, I finally stopped in front of a house with the words "Jinglan Zhangfu".

"Labor is a blessing. Princess Xu clasped her palms together.

After a while, the little novice came out and said, "Master, please come in." ”

The two walked into the chamber, the first thing that caught their eyes was a jade Buddha in the center, and two people were sitting on one side of the futon in front of the Buddha, muttering scriptures.

The person sitting on the side was an old man with a white beard and white eyebrows, who opened his eyes at the sound of a voice.

Zhang Zhaohua secretly sighed in his heart, this old man had a clear face and a thin body, like a sick plum. The so-called "sick plum" is the appearance of "taking the curve as the beauty, the straight as the posture, the beauty of the sparseness, the regularity without the scenery, the sparseness as the beauty, and the density as the stateless". However, when he opened his eyes, Zhang Zhaohua was shocked again. It's not because this pair of black and white is clear, and the bright spirit left an impression on her, but because the eye outline is triangular, so that the upper three white eyes and the lower three white eyes coexist, I heard that this kind of person has an extraordinary personality, strong self-awareness, and is easy to get ahead.

He bowed at the princess, and the princess also returned the full salute, which made Zhang Zhaohua reassess the weight of this person.

The name Master Daoyan, Zhang Zhaohua had heard it before, and Gao Chi said that it was to use the recipe he gave to fill his feet, and the effect was remarkable. But this person is not a doctor, he is the most trustworthy advisor under King Yan. It can be inferred that this person's status is extraordinary, because King Yan succeeded in rebelling in the end, and those who follow him will definitely enjoy wealth in the future.

"The third prince has been chanting with me for a month," Dao Yan said, "I can go back today." ”

When he said this, the person with his back to them turned around, this is Zhu Gaosui, the king of Anyang County, he was born in the sixteenth year of Hongwu and is now twelve years old.

Zhu Gaosui's appearance is very similar to Princess Xu's, upright and beautiful, and he is a handsome son, but because he wears the clothes of a monk, although he is tied with his hair, he does not have a trace of fireworks.

The appearance of the three brothers in Yanwangfu is very interesting, the eldest has a square face and broad ears, like a Buddha, the second is heroic and forceful, like a father, and the third is like a depiction, like a mother.

Gao Sui's face was very calm, but when he looked closely, he seemed to have a trace of imperceptible gloom, even if he was held in the arms of the princess, there was no fluctuation at all.

"The princess can take him back," Dao Yan said, "Next year, the old man will still be waiting here." ”

Hearing this, Gao Sui shrank slightly, and his eyes wandered.

"And the one next to the princess," Dao Yan seemed to squint his eyes: "The old man has never seen it." ”
