Chapter 57: Huangjue Temple
Jia Hu's luck is still good, the piece of examination shed he was assigned to is far away from the thatched house, close to the place where the water is connected, but it is a little leaky.
In order to prevent the Gongyuan from catching fire, when the dynasty was first established, the Gongyuan was built into a brick and wood structure. Therefore, in Jia Hu's opinion, in addition to being a little smaller, this room can be improvised.
Before the entrance was over, Jia Hu tidied up his things, and before the door of the number room was locked, he went to the outside to get some water and cleaned the small number room. He was going to stay here for nine days, and Jia Hu, who was a little clean, couldn't stand the thick dust in the room.
It was not until dusk that the gate of the Gongyuan was closed, and thousands of people ate and drank Lazar inside, and it was not until nine days later, after all three exams, that the gate would be opened again.
After a very uncomfortable sleep on the hard wooden bed, Jia Hu woke up early. Here, I didn't think about washing up or anything, so I had to show the little official who was surprised, and fetched some water and sent it in through the opening in the door.
Spring was still quite cold, and Jia Hu drank hot water boiled on the stove, which was much more comfortable. I ate some snacks with hot water, then packed up my things and waited for the examiner to distribute the exam papers. In the past, drinking water stained the test papers, or accidentally burned everything you brought when burning the stove, all kinds of things have not happened, and they are all lessons from the past.
When Jia Hu was crying in the small room and couldn't sleep, Jia Yu was talking to Liu.
Nervous during the day, and exhausted at night, but it is difficult to sleep.
Liu Shiqiang cheered up and said worriedly: "I don't know what happened to Hu'er?" It's so cold at night, I don't know if there is enough coal? β
Jia Yu comforted her and said: "So many scholars who are physically weak have survived, it doesn't make sense." β
Liu Shi said angrily: "I'm just worried! β
"Good, good!" Jia Yu surrendered, did not argue with her, only said, "That bear skin is so warm, even in winter." What's more, there is also a charcoal fire in the number room, plus Hu'er's own one, which is enough. β
Liu sighed again: "Hu'er must not be used to sleeping in the bed there,......"
Jia Hu had already entered, and it was useless to worry, Jia Yu didn't want to say more, so he opened the topic and said, "While Hu'er is not here these days, I am going to go to Huangjue Temple to meet Master Ran." β
"Master Ran?" Liu Shi thought for a moment, and then said, "Didn't the master go to the world the year before last?" β
Huangjue Temple is located in the suburbs of Beijing, the younger brother of the first emperor, when he was a child, he had been approved by a high monk, "only before serving the Buddha, can he be safe and rich for a lifetime", he settled down here, and he was a master.
Few people know that the monk also has a saying, "It can be a Buddha." This fact was deliberately hidden by the first emperor, since the death of the first emperor, few people know that the master is not only noble, but also the Dharma is profound.
Unfortunately, Jia Yu was one of them, and with reverence on his face, he said to Liu: "Then Master Ran is amazing. β
"I only heard that Master Ran's medical skills are very good," Liu Shi didn't have a good evaluation, so he only asked, "Master has always only loved to travel in the mountains and rivers, and rarely returns to Beijing, how did Enhou know that he was back?" β
Jia Yu saw that she didn't care, and was a little displeased, and said, "When I came back, Master Ran revealed my identity. God knows this, I know you don't know yet, but Master Ran saw that I was a reborn soul, and persuaded me to let go of the past since I had started again, and just treat it as if it had never happened. Isn't this a supernatural thing, are those who only prevaricate me with specious sentences? β
This is said that at the beginning of Jia Yu's rebirth, he was uncertain, and he was afraid of supernatural things, and asked for guidance from high monks everywhere, but he was inadvertently seen and very interested, and he asked a few questions, and then said this to him.
Jia Yu was very surprised, he found many prestigious masters, but only Master Ran pointed out the word 'restart', and immediately treated this master respectfully.
When Liu heard this, he was also taken aback, and he didn't dare to underestimate this infamous master.
Seeing that Liu had changed, Jia Yu replied to Liu with satisfaction, saying: "Because I have this miracle, Master Ran and I often exchange letters, and he returned to the capital last year, only closed his door and did not see guests, so few people know about it." β
Liu and Yourong asked, "Enhou is looking for a master, do you want to?" β
Jia Yu said in a deep voice: "I want to ask the master to approve Hu'er's life." β
Liu's hand on the brocade quilt clenched all of a sudden, and it took a while to let go, and said, "It's okay." β
The candlelight was dim, Jia Yu didn't notice it, and said excitedly: "You go too, take Hu'er's birthday with you." He was ruthless and said, "I don't believe what Mrs. Zhou's wife said." If it is really the Zhou family's troublemaker, I will definitely want them to look good. β
The next day, when he was going to the morning court, Jia Yu only sent someone to tell Master SΓΉ Ran first. It took another day before he took the Liu family with him.
Liu took the maid and the maid to the palace to offer incense, and Jia Yu went to find it, but the master had a guest temporarily.
The monk who led the way said apologetically, "Uncle Shi let the donor take care of himself." If the benefactor has something, just command. Jia Yu came a few times, waved his hand and let him go, sat down at the stone table by himself, closed his eyes and rested.
The spring sun was very warm, Jia Yu yawned unconsciously, and his eyes were hazy, and he suddenly heard the sound of two men talking, one of whom was Master Ran.
Knowing that the person who could make Master Ran throw him down was not something he could provoke, Jia Yu suddenly sobered up, and had no intention of eavesdropping on their conversation, so he said loudly: "Master? β
The person who talked to the master, dressed in a dark purple robe, wearing a golden crown, a jade belt around his waist, and a majestic demeanor, looked closely, he was the popular candidate for the heir now-Cheng Wang.
Jia Yu had always stood in front of him when he went to court, and he was very familiar with King Cheng's face, and hurriedly saluted when he saw this.
King Cheng was not surprised to see Rong Guogong here, although Rong Guogong had no real power, he was very dignified in front of his father, so King Cheng smiled and talked to him a few words, and then said goodbye and left.
After seeing King Cheng leave, Master Ran said unhurriedly: "Please also ask the donor to come with the poor monk." β
The two moved to the main hall, the hall was very empty, only Liu was worshipping the Buddha devoutly.
A trace of doubt flashed in Jia Yu's eyes.
Liu had words in his mouth, "The letter girl ......", but was awakened by a sound of footsteps. She opened her eyes a little annoyed, kowtowed, got up, and was about to ask Bai Guo, when Jia Yu's figure came into view.
Liu Shi was stunned for a moment, and almost immediately saluted the old monk with a gentle smile on his face: "I've seen the master." β
He smiled slightly, turned his head and said to Jia Yu: "Amitabha, the donor has chosen a good wife this time. β
This time? Liu just smiled lightly.
Jia Yu was curious, in the eyes of the master, what is a good wife?
Knowing this, he clasped his hands together, and said to the Buddha again, and then said: "The donor is destined to have no heirs, but Mrs. Zun is full of children and grandchildren." β
Jia Yu's hand trembled, but Master Ran had never told him!
Liu Shi was surprised, and immediately asked, "Then ...... now?"
Jia Yu also looked at Master Ran with trepidation.
Ran immediately reassured their hearts, "Naturally, it has changed, but it is ......"
The two couldn't help but lift their hearts.
"Your eldest son died young," said to Jia Yu, "and now you have not only changed your own life, but also your eldest son's fortune." β
"But you don't know that since ancient times, God has been jealous of talents, and this is his calamity. He escaped the age of ten, but he could not escape the age of eighteen. His life should be like this, you have an adventure to change your life, but you can't change his life. β
Jia Yu's face turned pale, is Hu'er destined to live long?
"Then ......" When the matter came to an end, Liu Shi was the calmer one, and at this time she asked aloud, "Does the master have a way to resolve it?" β
Right! Since the master has mentioned it, there must be a way!
Jia Yu seemed to grasp the last straw, and asked excitedly: "What is the master's solution?!" β
Ran proposed to see Jia Hu's birthday.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Is it the same as in his previous life?" β
Jia Yu shook his head.
Knowing the rapid deduction, his fingers were dazzling, as if it had taken a long time before he breathed a sigh of relief, smiled with relief, and said, "There is still a glimmer of life." β
"How?" It's a husband and wife duo.
"Because you have changed his fortune so that he can live to the age of eighteen, it is the virtue of a good life in God, and he will have the opportunity to leave his own bloodline."
"Could it be ......" Liu had a bad premonition in his heart.
"That's right," she affirmed clearly, "with the price of his doomed childlessness in the future, in exchange for a chance to change his life against the sky." β
"Childless? Can't you have a stepson? "Jia Yu pays more attention to inheritance, if Jia Hu doesn't have a son, the same is true for Ji Lian'er.
Liu noticed the word 'opportunity'. Her heart tugged.
After a moment's hesitation, "The more you pay, the more likely you are to succeed." β
Jia Yu resolutely disagreed, if Hu'er unfortunately failed to escape, he could not be allowed to go without incense.
Compared with the grandchildren who have not yet appeared, Liu cares more about her own son, and she asked nervously: "How likely is it?" β
"Thirty percent."
"So low?" Liu almost fainted.
After a moment of silence, he still said this sentence, "I will do my best." β
The couple suffered too much impact today, and they were not in a hurry to do so, so they stayed in Huangjue Temple.
Jia Yu stayed here for a few days and found that King Cheng frequently came to Master Ran, saying that he was talking about Buddhism.
Jia Yu scoffed at this.
He is too busy to take care of himself and is not nosy.
In the past few days, Liu has been crying in his ear, Jia Yu is not in a good mood, the two have clashed many times, Liu once tore his face, but he almost pointed at Jia Yu's nose and said: "You know the incense and incense, everyone is almost gone, what kind of incense do you care?!" β
Jia Yu held his breath.
In terms of spending time with Hu'er, he is longer than Liu; In terms of feelings, the relationship between father and son in the two lives, he has deeper feelings for Hu'er than Liu; In terms of the value to the Jia family, Hu'er's talent is jealous of God, and his life is obviously more important than that of an unknown grandson.
It's just that Master Ran said that if he does his best, he must go all out, who knows what conspiracy is inside? As Hu'er's father, isn't it right for him to think about it for a few days?!
Liu felt that he only thought about the title, and didn't want Hu'er to have a greater chance of surviving! No matter how she explained it, she thought it was an excuse!
Jia Yu took a deep breath and repeatedly reminded himself to be calm.
This is the last day of the exam, and Jia Yu must explain it clearly to Liu, because Master Ran said that he can only cast spells if his parents are on the same page.
Because of the unpleasantness of the past few days, Jia Yu and Liu separated, and the doors of both of them were closed, obviously unwilling to have any communication with each other.
At this moment, Jia Yu was standing at the door of Liu's wing room and knocked on the door gently.
