Chapter 254: Asking for Help
After Mrs. Chu San and Chu Lingxuan left, Fuyuan returned to calm. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Every day, Chu Hanyan and Chu Lingzhi will come to Fuyuan, and Chen Afu will be a teacher for the three children. At noon, the old marquis will also come here to eat. After dinner, the old marquis went back to the Tang Garden alone to rest, came back in the evening, and had dinner together, and then returned to the Tang Garden.
Chu Lingxuan came back every few days, and they all came and went in a hurry. It was probably dark before he ran back, found a reason to come to Fuyuan to say a few words to Chen Afu, bring some gifts to a few children, and left in a hurry before dawn the next day.
Leaving more and gathering less, coupled with seeing Chu Lingxuan coming and going in a hurry, Chen Afu was a little more worried and distressed about him, and every time he would stay up late to make him some food and take it to the yamen or the barracks to eat. Even if they only get along for half an hour, there is a big lantern shining, and both of them cherish it very much. Even a few words of greeting and concern, or a smile at each other, feel sweet.
April 29 and May 10 should be the days when Chu Ling announced his retirement, and he didn't come back. Not only Chu Hanyan was disappointed, but even Chen Afu was a little disappointed, only Chen Dabao covered his mouth and secretly enjoyed.
On May 12, the long-awaited Mr. Liao finally came from Beijing.
Mr. Liao is in his fifties, on the thin side, and his deep gaze gives people the impression of being very knowledgeable. Chen Dabao, Chu Lingzhi, and Chen Afu officially visited the teacher.
The study is located in the outer courtyard of Tangyuan. After that, every morning at three o'clock, Dabao and Ah Lu would set off from their homes to attend classes in Tangyuan and rest every tenth. However, at noon and evening, they and the old marquis of Chu would still come to Fuyuan for dinner. Chen Afu also invited Mr. Liao, but if Mr. Liao didn't come, Chen Afu would ask people to occasionally bring him some food.
With only Miss Chu as a student, and teachers Xia Yue and Qiu Yue, who had already exercised out, helped Chen Afu feel more relaxed. When I have nothing to do, I worry about the fields and shops at home, or do needlework.
On the 16th, Chen Afu decided to go to Lingyin Temple tomorrow, and she had something to ask the old monk Wuzhi.
The winter wheat has been harvested from her 400 acres of land in Wangshan Village, Shili Township, and she wants to grow corn in these fields. She also wanted to take the corn seeds into the space and put them away, hoping to grow sweet corn or waxy corn from her previous life. Moreover, Manager Luo has clearly hinted that Tangyuan also wants to grow more fruit cucumbers, and if the watermelon is good, he also wants to grow watermelon.
She has already used watermelon seeds, cucumber seeds, rice seeds, wheat seeds, corn seeds, etc., and she wants to use them for a few days to cultivate good seeds. Not only is it delicious, but I also hope to be more productive and less diseased, not only to make a lot of money for myself, but also to seek some benefits for the people of this world. But with so many seeds, you can't all say that they were bought from Fanren, right? The more lies there are, the worse it is, and she has to find a cow to help her bear it.
She thought about it for a long time, this cow man can only be an old monk without wisdom.
The old monk is a high monk, and he often goes out to travel all over the world, and even goes to Fanwai. If he can recognize these seeds and say that he got them from Fanren or in the mountains, others will believe them, and even if they don't believe them, they won't dare to ask.
But thinking of the greedy old monk, she was a little weak-hearted, afraid that he would lick his face and ask for something in the space again. Jin Yanzi already hated him so much that it was impossible to give it to him anymore.
After thinking about it for a long time, I only had to send him some fruit and cucumbers. Thinking that it was not good to just give the old monk and not to the abbot of Chen, I had to send some to her.
She discussed with the old marquis during dinner, saying that she had a dream of having a little uncle, and wanted to find Master Wuzhi to help solve it, so she could take the little girl Chu to visit Abbot Chen.
The old marquis was very happy that his future daughter-in-law could be valued by Wuzhi and Wushi, so he said that he would also go to see Abbot Chen, and he would go with him tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Chen Afu went to the backyard to pick cucumbers, and even picked the thickness of his fingers, and there were not many. Last time, I brought all the bigger cucumbers to Chen Shiying's family, and they have grown some more these days, but they haven't fully grown up. She had no choice but to go to Luyuan again and pick the gherkins that had borne out.
At the end of the hour, the old marquis, Chen Afu, and Chu Hanyan got into the carriage and headed towards Honglin Mountain. Jin Yanzi knew that Chen Afu was going to see the old monk again, so he stayed in the space very carefully and did not come out, and warned Chen Afu not to give the old bald donkey the treasure in the space again.
When they arrived at Lingyin Temple, Chen Afu got out of the car, and the old marquis took the little girl to continue to Yingxue Nunnery.
As soon as Chen Afu led Qiu Yue, who was carrying a food box, and the two guards walked into the gate of Lingyin Temple, he saw a little monk waiting there. Seeing them coming, he stepped forward and said, "The female donor is here, and the poor monk master is waiting for the female donor." ”
Chen Afu smiled and gave him a packet of home-made rose candy, and Guiyi happily accepted it.
After crossing the small stone bridge, Qiu Yue and the nursing courtyard were invited to the pavilion again, and Chen Afu followed Guiyi to the old monk's meditation room alone. As soon as Chen Afu entered, the old monk's eyes were glued to her food box.
Chen Afu put the two food boxes on his kang table, and he hurriedly opened the food boxes and took out a small cucumber to eat.
"Well, it's crisp, sweet, delicious, and it tastes much better than ordinary cucumbers." The old monk said, and asked, "The female benefactor has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, won't she just send this rare cucumber to Lao Na?" ”
Chen Afu smiled, "Well, there is something to trouble the master." I hope that the master will recognize some of the good seeds that I have processed, and let me tell the outside world that the master planted them for me. ”
The old monk blinked, put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, if the monks don't speak, how can the female benefactor let Lao Na lie?" ”
Chen Afu saw that his eyes were shining, and he was still pretending to be serious, so he was a little angry. But thinking that he was here to beg him, he had to laugh and say, "Master, if I cultivate a good variety, not only will the people of the Dashun Dynasty benefit, but the master will also be able to taste different grains, fruits, and vegetables." ”
The old monk said, "Lao Na just doesn't help, the female donor has cultivated a good variety, and Lao Na can taste it." Seeing that Chen Lao Afu was a little anxious, he hurriedly said, "What Lao Na means is that let Lao Na contribute, and you have to let Lao Na think a little, you can't do it in vain, right?" ”
Chen Afu exclaimed, "Master, you are a high-ranking monk, how can you say such a non-standard thing." ”
The old monk said with a smile, "The female benefactor doesn't understand, the monk is not a superficial appearance, but a kind of cultivation from the inside out, which is unconsciously revealed." Those who look like high monks at first glance are mostly pretended. ”
This explanation really made Chen Afu speechless. She added, "What I asked the master to do is to do good things for the vast number of Li people. Monks are compassionate, whether they are eminent monks or not, they should be very willing to do these good deeds. Especially for a monk like the master, who unconsciously reveals his cultivation, he should do more good deeds. ”
