Chapter 5: The Gentleman's Wife and the Beauty
Leaving Biyue and Jing Yu behind, Su Jin took Bixi together, followed the direction pointed by the little monk, and found the place he said. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The small pond is not too big, but it also adds a bit of special scenery, because it is not yet summer, the water is relatively cold, so although there are many swimming fish in the water, it is not lively. In the small pavilion not far away, a monk in a bright yellow robe and a thin woman in a water biluo skirt with a luxurious demeanor sat opposite each other, and a woman in green clothes stood not far behind the woman, who was relatively thin and simple, and should be an accompanying maid.
Su Jin smiled lightly, straightened his sleeves casually, Shi Ran walked in the direction of the small pavilion, and said with a smile, "It turns out that the abbot is here, but let the little girl find it!" ”
The voice instantly alarmed the people in the pavilion, and several people turned their heads sideways and looked at Su Jin, who was also very surprised by the rash appearance of the strange woman in white in front of them.
"This female donor, Lao Na is interpreting the scriptures for the nobles, and she can't be separated for the time being, I'm afraid that I have to let the donor wait a little longer, and I ask the female donor to forgive me." The abbot stood up and saluted.
"I just knew that the abbot was receiving the nobles, and the time it would take would not be short, so I would come here at this time. I only have two questions, but I still can't get to the point, so I would like to ask the abbot to explain one or two for me, it shouldn't take up much of the abbot's time, presumably the abbot, this distinguished guest, should not mind, right? Su Jin smiled, and his eyes fell on the woman in Chinese clothes who had been sitting quietly and had not spoken, the acting princess, Meng Ying.
She was born very soft, with a slender body, willow eyebrows, and dignified manners, even if she only sat in one place and did not move at all, she became everyone's style.
She got a position that suited her, but unfortunately she didn't meet someone who suited her.
Meng Ying looked at Su Jin and the others slightly, and said with a smile, "It doesn't hurt for the abbot to solve this girl first, anyway, there is plenty of time in this palace, and by the way, I can also listen to what this girl wants to solve, what are the problems!" ”
Su Jinzhi smiled slightly, as if he had directly filtered out the word "Bengong" in his words, not only did he not do the due courtesy, but he even sat down directly on the empty seat beside Meng Ying without restraint.
Meng Ying glanced at Su Jin in some surprise, seeing that her demeanor was not undignified, but she could sit down beside her so naturally after hearing her claim to be the palace. There is a woman in the Jin Tomb who can sit on her level with such an identity, saying a lot more, saying a lot less, but in the middle, she does not have the person in front of her in her impression, and she is wearing a mask, and she can't see her true appearance at all.
This woman is so special.
The abbot obviously also noticed that Su Jin's behavior was somewhat inappropriate, after all, the one in front of him was the auxiliary prince of the formal rules, and the concubine of the acting king. But Guan Meng Ying himself didn't seem to mind, so he naturally didn't want to say anything more, so he also sat down, smiled and asked, "Dare to ask what this donor wants to solve, what questions are they?" ”
Su Jin smiled lightly, "What I want to ask is, what is life and death?" What is the reality of fiction? ”
Meng Ying and the abbot were obviously stunned for a moment, this question was too common.
"To be alive is, to be alive is, to be alive. Death, that is, death; It is real to be felt and touched, and vice versa. From the point of view of Buddhism, the existence of the soul is life. The destruction of the soul is death, and what the mind sends is true, and what the mind contradicts is nothing. ”
Su Jin bowed slightly, his fingers lightly lined his forehead, as if he was thinking deeply, "It turns out that the Buddha Tao is solved like this?" Then I asked the abbot again, I have a young brother, he is strong, powerful, and has an amazing appetite, but he is born with intellectual retardation, no distinction between love and hate, no distinction between relatives and friends, no knowledge of joy and sorrow, it can be seen that he has no soul at all, so my younger brother, is he alive or dead? Again, as an older sister, it is naturally my wish to hope that he can live like ordinary people, and it is also the will of my whole family, which is also the idea that the abbot said, but to this day my younger brother is still proud, so is this virtual or real? ”
The abbot was slightly stunned when he first heard this, and then replied with a smile, "It depends on how the donor understands it, according to the subtle speaking, the young brother of the donor naturally makes a living, and it is true that the young brother of the donor does not do what the donor and his family want, and the latter is the opposite." ”
"Is that so?" Su Jin smiled lightly, and then said, "My younger brother is indeed mentally retarded, but even so, he can always distinguish what food is delicious and what food is unpalatable, he knows that the family dog in my house does not bite, but the little black dog next door bites, and will run away immediately when he sees it, and at the same time, he also knows who loves him the most in the family and who hates him the most, so he will also try not to contact the people who hate him, these are the differences between the plants, trees, flowers and birds that only have life and no soul." It can be seen that he also has a soul, doesn't he? Secondly, although the wishes of my family and I are to hope that my younger brother can become an ordinary person, there is another person who is not among them, that is, my current stepmother, and her wish is that my younger brother will always be like this, so as to ensure that the family property will be inherited by her son in the future, and my younger brother is now competing as she wishes, and there is no chance of turning around, that is to say, her wish has been realized, abbot, I understand, it should be right! ”
The abbot seemed to listen seriously, thought for a moment, and nodded, "That's true. ”
"Well, to sum up, my youngest brother's soul is both life and death; My thoughts have not come to fruition, but my stepmother's thoughts have become, the former is false, the latter is real, the same is placed on my younger brother's body, that is, it is both virtual and real, so didn't the abbot find that the problem has returned to the original point? Dare to ask the abbot the answer, but where is it? Su Jin chuckled.
As soon as these words came out, the abbot's face turned pale instantly, and Meng Ying was also speechless in shock.
This woman is so angry, and after a few words turned around, Jing directly put the abbot into the contradiction in her words.
Su Jin slowly stood up and said with a smile, "Since the abbot can't figure it out, the little woman should go back and figure it out on her own!" As for this Lingta Temple, the little woman does not plan to come again, I advise the princess Niangniang, there is no need to come here again to find any interpretation of the Zen scriptures, even the abbot himself may not be able to participate in the things that can be thoroughly understood, how can he expect to be able to solve it for others? ”
At this time, the abbot's face was already red and white, and he no longer had all the elegance of a high monk, so he got up and pointed at Su Jin angrily, "You Xiao little woman, the Dharma is boundless, how can you and other ignorant women understand it, don't talk nonsense in this holy place of Buddhism, otherwise, don't blame Lao Na for speaking out and chasing people!" ”
"Those who can come to you to understand Zen are naturally ignorant, according to what you say, is the princess also an ignorant woman?" Su Jin said with a light smile.
The abbot suddenly became angry, "Wait for sophistry, isn't it true that the princess can be the same as the princess with your identity?" ”
"Enough!" Meng Ying interrupted in a deep voice, and from her face, she knew that she was not displeased, but she didn't know if it was because of Su Jin or the abbot.
"Princess Niangniang, the little girl still has something to do, so let's say goodbye first!" Su Jin bowed to him, so he ignored the abbot directly, turned around and walked away quickly with Bixi.
After walking to the front to meet Jing Yu Biyue, he was about to walk down the stairs when a call came from behind him. "Wait a minute, girl!"
Although she didn't call out her name, and there were more and more pilgrims in the temple now, Su Jin knew that it was called her, and when she turned around, she really saw the Tsing Yi maid who was standing not far from the side just now, and was hurrying over at this time to stop her.
The corners of Su Jin's lips hooked up a faint smile, and he immediately stopped, turned around and responded, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"My master wants to say something to the girl, but he is afraid that the girl has left, so he ordered me to come and pass the word, please wait a while, my master will come soon." The maid in Tsing Yi replied.
Su Jin smiled and nodded, and then stood still, waiting for someone to come.
After a while, Meng Ying's figure had already appeared in front of her, even Luo Skirt also brought some breeze, obviously she was in a bit of a hurry, Meng Ying walked in front of Su Jin, and said with a smile, "The girl's words just now really opened the eyes of the palace, and it can be regarded as a word to wake up the person in the dream, and the palace feels that it is fate to be fortunate to meet the girl, so I came here to talk to the girl, and ask for advice!" ”
Su Jin smiled and bowed, "The princess is raised, and she doesn't dare to ask for advice, but since the mother has a heart, the little woman is willing to talk to the mother, mother, there are many people here, can you talk while walking?" Presumably the princess should be preparing to go down the mountain, right? ”
Meng Ying smiled and nodded, "Indeed, this is exactly what this palace means." ”
Su Jin and Meng Ying stepped down the stone steps side by side, and the maid in green clothes, Bi Xi and the others also automatically retreated some distance, trying to hide their sense of existence.
"By the way, until now, I still don't know the girl's identity and name? When you meet, would the girl like to tell me? ”
Su Jin seemed to be shocked, and hurriedly smiled and said, "It's the little woman who was rude, and she forgot to introduce herself, the little woman's surname is Su Mingjin, a native of Yingzhou, and she came to Jinling some time ago to take care of some small businesses for the family." ”
"Su Jin? Is the family a businessman? Meng Ying wondered.
"Yes, it's just a small business!" Su Jin replied with a smile.
Meng Ying was a little surprised, a woman with such an extraordinary temperament should be a big family, at least she should be born in a scholarly family or an official eunuch's household, but how, she doesn't look like the daughter of a businessman. In other words, this is a small hidden in the mountains, and a big hidden in the city.
"There are still two questions about this palace, first, this palace did not directly reveal the identity, and the temple never dared to directly reveal the identity of some special pilgrims, so how did Miss Su know the identity of this palace?"
Su Jin smiled lightly and pointed to the luxurious green Roman carriage not far below, "That's the princess's carriage!" 'Generation' name, first of all, in the Jin Tomb, the carriage can be hung on the font number, it must be everyone's family, the level is not enough to dare to hang it, and in this Jin Tomb, hang the 'generation' name, in addition to a generation of the king's mansion, is there anything else? Moreover, there are four guards next to the carriage of the princess Niangniang, it can be seen that the person who came is not only from the palace of the king, but also the status of the palace must not be low, plus Su Jin saw the lady herself, and he was sure that you were the princess of the princess! ”
Hearing this, Meng Ying was surprised, "Miss Su is so secretive!" That's how accurate it can be! However, there is still one doubt in this palace, that is, ......"
"Niangniang wants to ask, the mask on Su Jin's face, right?" Su Jin said with a smile.
Meng Ying was stunned again, she could know this, but she naturally didn't show it on her face, she only smiled and nodded, "Exactly!" ”
"I'm not afraid of my mother's jokes, the reason why Su Jin always shows people with a mask is because this face is too ugly to show in front of people, so he wears this mask." Su Jin replied with a light smile.
Meng Ying was slightly startled, and her eyes unconsciously fell on Su Jin's face, although it was true that she couldn't see her true appearance clearly, but the mask was not completely covered, and the lower half of her face was still exposed, such as the fair and slender jaw, such as the thin lips that were so delicate and delicate, it was too ugly, which was ...... It seems impossible! But Su Jin had already explained it like this, of course she couldn't question it immediately, so she put away her look and said with a smile, "For women, appearance is important, but what is the use of just being a useless empty skin!" Miss Su doesn't have any inferiority complex because of this, with the girl's talent, she is a man in the world, how many can beat you? ”
"Niangniang has won the award, but Su Jin knows that the lack of appearance is an indisputable fact, and he has already admitted it, and he does not feel sorry for himself because of this, but only tries his best to do what he thinks and wants!" Su Jin smiled.
While talking, the two had already walked down the long stone steps, and the guards and carriage of the Dai Wang's Mansion were not far away, and Jing Yu had already brought the carriage over and waited there, but he did not step forward to disturb the two of them.
"Anyway, I have to go down the mountain and go back to the city, according to the meaning of the palace, why don't you sit in the same carriage with the palace, so that the palace can continue to ask the girl for some things that the palace doesn't know?" Meng Ying took Su Jin's hand and said with a smile.
Su Jin looked sideways at Jing Yu and the others, smiled and nodded, "Since the princess has a heart, Su Jin should accompany her!" Bixi, you drive the carriage and then come. ”
"Yes, girl." Bi Xi, who had been following Su Jin, bowed his head and answered.
Su Jin followed Meng Ying to the carriage of the palace of the king, and a group of more than ten people went down the mountain, Meng Ying asked Su Jin all the way to teach her understanding of the reality of life and death, that is, the views of the abbot in the Lingta Temple, and talked about Su Jin's views on all things in the world, even the way of business, and the customs of the world that Su Jin understands, and some amazing mountains and rivers......
At this time, Meng Ying was already deeply attracted by this peculiar woman, she was almost an encyclopedia, not only knew everything, but also knew everything, when she was still happy, the carriage had slowly entered the city, and the Xiangfu Building where Su Jin and the others temporarily settled was also close in front of her.
"Princess, the place where we live has arrived, and I should go back too." Su Jin smiled.
Meng Ying looked at the Xiangfu Building outside, "Did the girl live here originally?" Is this close to the palace of the Daiwang? Anyway, it's still early, or Miss Su will simply go to the house with the palace to talk about it, and in the evening, the palace will definitely arrange someone to send the girl back? ”
Su Jin smiled, "Su Jin accepted Su Jin's kind invitation, and I am very grateful, but Su Jin still has some affairs in this Jinling, and there are still some affairs waiting for Su Jin to deal with in the commercial bank." Therefore, I am afraid that I will waste my mother's hospitality, and Su Jin is deeply indebted here. However, if the mother still wants to talk to Su Jin another day, she will send someone here to say that Su Jin will be disrespectful when she arrives! ”
Meng Ying smiled and nodded, "In this case, it is not good for the palace to delay Miss Su any longer, and wait for another day, the palace will definitely invite you to the palace to talk, you friend, the palace will be handed over today, if you encounter any difficulties in this Jin Mausoleum in the future, even if you come to the palace on behalf of the king!" "Hongu will definitely help if he can!"
"Then thank you princess, Su Jin farewell!" Su Jin responded.
Meng Ying smiled and nodded, watched Su Jin get out of the carriage, and then a group of four people slowly stepped into the Xiangfu Building. In the depths of this gaze, there was still a little stunned and lonely. And it is indeed lonely, she has been married into the palace of the dynasty for more than five years, in the eyes of outsiders, how honorable and unbelievable, she is the princess, and is the princess, glory and wealth, brocade and jade food, but the price of these things, but a few people can know, she has no love, no friendship, even family affection, also mixed with too many impurities. Her relatives, since she married into the Jin Tomb and married into the Dai Wangfu, they are no longer the original family, but even so, she still has to do a lot of things for their glory and wealth, their greedy desires, and their life and death, even she feels disgusting.
Whether she is ugly or beautiful, what about her status, if her life can be as comfortable and chic as Su Jin, how good it is!
