In the ear room on the right side of the main hall, Master Xuanzhen and Yuan Zheng sat opposite each other, and the two chatted very well.

As before, the master was mostly listening carefully to Yuan Zheng's words, and he rarely interjected, but every time he said a sentence, he was full of wisdom and convincing.

It's just that although he looks energetic, his whole person is much thinner than more than ten years ago, and his simple monk's robe looks empty as if hanging on a skeleton.

Yuan Zheng felt a little throbbing in his heart, but he didn't know how to persuade the master.

Monks are often very sympathetic to their thoughts, but it is difficult for them to understand their pursuits.

Master Xuanzhen seemed to see through what he was thinking, but he didn't care, he only smiled slightly: "The young men and women brought by the little friend of the sect today are all nobles, why don't you let the old man guess their identities?"

How could the master be so interested? Yuan Zheng couldn't help but nod curiously.

Master Xuanzhen turned the number of beads in his hand and said: "The young man's temperament seems to be a little impetuous, but it is difficult to hide the noble spirit between the eyebrows, seeing that he is about fifteen or sixteen years old and has not yet reached the crown, he must be a dragon." ”

Yuan Zheng praised: "The master is really good. ”

"As for the girl...... Master Xuanzhen actually hesitated a little when he talked about Doudou, "This girl is clear and beautiful, with a lively personality but pure and good, but her face is ......."

Yuan Zheng's heart tightened, for so many years, he only knew that Master Xuanzhen was proficient in Buddhism, but he had never heard that he would meet each other.

But such a high-ranking monk absolutely disdains exaggeration, and since he says so, he must be really proficient in this way.

He said eagerly: "Master, what's wrong with the little girl's face?"

The little girl master smiled and waved his hand: "Zong Zhi should not be nervous, the old man sees that this girl looks like a nestling has lost its nest, so he concludes that she is definitely not your biological daughter." ”

Yuan Zheng calmed down at this time: "The master's expectations are not bad, but for so many years, Yuan has long regarded her as his own flesh and blood, and he doesn't dare to expect her to be rich and rich in the future, but I hope that she can be safe and happy in her life, and I hope that the master can give you some advice." ”

The master stroked the long snow-white beard under his chin and said: "I can't talk about pointing, although this girl has the appearance of losing her nest, but she has a good chance in this life, and since she has become the daughter of Zongzhi, I believe that you will be able to protect her well." ”

Yuan Zheng wanted to ask a few more questions, but there was a sound of footsteps at the door of the ear room, and he had to swallow the words back.

Soon I saw Doudou holding a pot of rice porridge, Wuxin holding two small plates of pickles, and the four princes holding a stack of small porcelain bowls and a few pairs of chopsticks, and the three of them walked in together.

Wuxin put the pickles on the wooden table, folded his hands and said to Master Xuanzhen and Yuan Zheng: "Master, donor, the meal has been prepared." ”

Master Xuanzhen bowed slightly, closed his eyes and read the scriptures.

Seeing this situation, the corners of Doudou's mouth twitched slightly, this master was really pious, and he didn't even forget to eat before fasting.

She felt more and more sympathetic to the little monk in her heart, and when she met such a master who was fully focused on cultivation, it was no wonder that they had never eaten a few full meals at the age of eight, and they looked as old as a five-year-old Xiaoxiao.

Doudou certainly wouldn't wait for Wuxin to serve them, so she took the spoon with her hands and feet, and filled several small porcelain bowls with rice porridge.

Although Yuan Zheng and the four princes are very particular about their diet on weekdays, they are not too picky at this time, so they silently picked up the porridge bowl and drank it.

Only the little monk Wuxin held a small bowl and ate it very sweetly, today's porridge is much thicker than usual, and it tastes very different, and soon he has a bowl of porridge.

While everyone was not paying attention, he quickly stretched out his little tongue and licked all the remaining porridge stains on the side of the bowl.

In fact, how could such a small action be hidden from Doudou and a few people, but everyone felt that the little monk was really not easy, and they were willing to make fun of him.

However, this action also failed to hide from Master Xuanzhen.

As soon as he raised his eyes after reading the scriptures, he saw that Wuxin was licking the bowl hard, shook his head and said, "Wuxin, monks should not be gluttonous, but also pay attention to manners. ”

Wuxin put the bowl on the wooden table, lowered his little head and said, "Yes, master." ”

Old monk, are you so mean, okay! Can drinking such a little bit of crude rice porridge be called gluttony?

The fourth prince couldn't stand it anymore, put the coarse porcelain bowl on the table, and opened his mouth to reason with the master.

"Master, you can't say that about enlightenment. Before he could make a sound, Doudou spoke first.

Yuan Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked at his second daughter, such a reaction was completely expected by him, but he didn't intend to stop it at all, just wanted to see how she would respond.

Master Xuanzhen smiled at a few people, picked up the porridge bowl and began to eat.

It's just so annoying, isn't it! The four princes and Doudou looked at each other, and they were both choked and speechless.

Master Xuanzhen ate quickly, and after a while, he put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said leisurely: "Please come with the old man." ”

With that, he stood up and walked out of the earroom.

Although Xuan Zhen was talking about the "little benefactor", everyone present knew that he was referring to Doudou and not the Four Princes.

Doudou and Yuan Zheng confessed and chased after him.

The two of them didn't stop until they walked to a hundred-year-old pine tree at the back of the main hall.

"Does the little donor think that the old man is too strict with Wuxin?" Xuan Zhen got straight to the point.

"Yes. Doudou replied unequivocally: "Wuxin is almost eight years old, and he is not as tall as my five-year-old brother.

Xuan Zhen said: "The little benefactor is a monk, and Wuxin is a monk, and your brother is not a person from the same way, how can he be compared? Not to mention that enduring hardships is the duty of a monk, and it is also the necessity of cultivation." ”

Doudou sneered and said: "Everything in the world is about your affection and my wishes, and the master is willing to choose this path of penance, but what about the enlightenment? He is just a little boy who is less than eight years old, why do you think he is voluntary?"

She was so aggressive that Xuan Zhen was not angry, and said very calmly: "The little benefactor's words are very reasonable, but you probably didn't notice the top of Wuxin's head, he didn't give the ordination. ”

What does this mean?

Master Xuanzhen smiled slightly: "The female benefactor probably doesn't know that a little novice like Wuxin is actually not a real monk, as long as he is willing, he can leave at any time." ”

Doudou sneered: "To put it lightly, he has never left you since he was a child, how can he be willing to leave." ”

Xuan Zhen was still not angry: "Therefore, everyone has their own fate, and the enlightenment heart has a fate with my Buddha, and the Buddha is his destination." ”

Doudou was silent, and she felt that Wuxin could live a life of food and clothing as long as she left Wenshu Monastery and Master Xuanzhen, but she ignored his own feelings.

The so-called son is not a female ugly dog and does not think the family is poor, in fact, this is the truth. No matter how bitter Master Xuanzhen is here, it is also the happiest place in the heart of Wuxin. (To be continued.) )
