Chapter 51: Bodhi

Go to the moldy head of the Bodhi Academy, the red waist also feels that he is arrogant, how many catties and taels he has, he himself still doesn't know?

In the heart of the eldest princess, it is not certain that he has the weight of the pair of bronze lions at the entrance of the princess's mansion.

He just wasn't reconciled and wanted to give it a try. Just like Qing Ning said, when a person like him leaves the Eldest Princess's Mansion, he is almost close to death.

He has a bad background, her mother is the sister of Yihong Courtyard, he was born in Yihong Courtyard, and his mother doesn't know who his father is.

If it weren't for his appearance with his mother, he would have been pretty since he was a child, and I am afraid that he would have been sold by his mother to be a eunuch in the palace.

When he was twelve years old, he was taken by a wealthy merchant and bought from Yihong Yuan, and at that time, his mother had been dead for three years.

After that, it was the days of being pampered and falling out of favor, being bought and sold, and being displaced.

Five years ago, at the banquet of the king of Chengning County, as a guest of the banquet, he was somehow favored by the eldest princess Xiao Hua and was taken back to the mansion that night.

To put it mildly, that night was his first serious man. He is especially proud, and the woman who owns him is the most noble eldest princess in the empire.

The five years of stable life have made him feel that he will live like this in the future, and the princess treats him better than others, but he already feels that he is the best in the world.

He didn't want to be jealous of the Bodhi Academy, what capital did he have in his own heart.

He just wanted to ask if the person had just arrived, and he hadn't figured out the situation in the house yet, did he need someone to wait?

In fact, he waits for people very well, he did this at the age of six, and has been doing it for 20 years.

He is different from those sons of officials and ministers, free or not, not deed, of little effect on him, he has not lived alone outside, and he does not want to wander around outside, and then be a floating and rootless person.

is also different from those concubines who were sent by the family to please the eldest princess, and he is more powerful than the sky.

Well, it's useless to say anything, he can't bear the eldest princess.

Changle looked at the red waist kneeling at her feet, wilting into frost and beating eggplant, and suddenly remembered that when he saw him for the first time, he shouted at his arrogant reprimand, obviously a very proud person, but he was just given a severance pay and let him go out to live a good life, just with this look of dying or living, should he ......

Changle was aware of herself, and lit the red lantern at the gate of the new world, she never thought that the way her mother treated male pets, there would really be male pets falling in love with her mother, this thing is simply too bizarre.

"Don't want to go?" Changle was so playful that he didn't even think of letting the kneeling red waist stand up.

Red Waist raised his head in surprise when he heard Changle ask him this sentence, he had a pair of standard peach blossom eyes, and he had served Israel for twenty years, so that even if he was not engaged in this work on weekdays, he was also charming and tactful when he looked at people.

Surprise is also love, joy is also love, fear is also love, no matter what kind of look and mood, reflected from his eyes, it is all emotional.

Changle couldn't stand being stared at like this, she dodged to the side, and waved at the red waist by the way: "Get up, listen to the words of this palace, the Bodhi Courtyard is not something you can go to," even she can't go, let alone a person with the status of the red waist.

The one in the Bodhi Temple was her mother's reverse scale, and she was sure that if anyone touched it, they would not be far from death.

"You go back to where you live first," Changle gave Hongwei a reassurance, "This palace will tell Steward Zhang that you will be ranked in the mansion, but later...... You'd better wear less clothes like this. "The indirect meaning is obvious, the male/pet is afraid that it can't be done.

This is enough to surprise the red waist, it is unimaginable good news for him, as long as he can stay in the princess's mansion, he can do whatever he wants.

Not only did he not get up from the ground according to Changle's words, but he also kowtowed to Changle on the spot, and the sound shook the bluestone slab ground.

"Thank you little princess, thank you little princess, slave, slave must do a good job, thank you ......"

Red-waisted nervous movements, Changle, "......"

"Okay, don't kowtow, get up quickly," although you don't have to be a man/pet in the future, you won't kowtow and be disfigured, "Also, you changed your name too, the name of the red waist sounds...... It's indecent, let's call it prayer in the future! "The name of the red waist, there is an indescribable winning wave when you hear it, hehe.

Praying for peace, very simple meaning, red waist, no, now it is a prayer for peace, and he got up from the ground with satisfaction, "Thank you little princess for the name, thank you little princess!" ”

This man is also weird, he has experienced a lot, he still looks very simple, and everything is written on his face, Changle waved his hand, signaling that he can go back to the small courtyard.

"After you go back, what to say and what not to say, you know for yourself, don't make trouble for yourself!" She didn't want a group of male pets to cry in front of her tonight and beg to stay, although this was very unlikely, but it had to be eliminated.

Why help Red Waist? Maybe the first time I saw the red waist, I felt some fate, and maybe she fell into that situation in the last time of her previous life, and she also had the help of such a man who was mixed in that situation, and there was some sympathy (fog)?

Some things are not clear, and the feelings between people are absolutely more complicated than the stars in the sky.

"The slave knows, the slave understands, the little princess can rest assured," he is not stupid enough to that extent.

He has lived until now, and he has always been said by others not to be smart, isn't he also living well, where are those who are said to be smart? The grass at the grave has grown for a few springs.

Qi'an trotted away, but Changle stopped for a while and didn't move, until Liuxia reminded her by the side, she remembered that her original plan was to take a nap after eating, and as a result, what sleepiness is there now?

"Let's go to the Bodhi Monastery for a walk," Qi An's move to try her luck still affected her.

She can never see those male pets in her mother's backyard for the rest of her life, because they are all inconsequential people, but she can't not see the one in Bodhi Courtyard for the rest of her life.

That is her mother's sweetheart, and her relationship with that person must always have someone to go one step first, so as not to be embarrassed by her mother in the middle.

"Little princess," Liuxia didn't quite agree with his master's thoughts, and persuaded seriously: "Didn't you stop that just now...... What the...... Don't let him go? Wouldn't it be bad for you to go over by yourself without the consent of the eldest princess? Liuxia spoke in a slurred voice, expressing the apprehension in her heart.

She followed Changle for a long time, listening and watching, and knew that the eldest princess personally invited back the one who was sent to the Bodhi Courtyard must not be comparable to those men in the small backyard. She was afraid that her master would be careless and anger the eldest princess. In her heart, the eldest princess is equal to the ten halls of Yama.

Since she was pulled by Changle's side, it was the first time she expressed her thoughts in front of Changle, for fear of provoking the dissatisfaction of her master, but as a loyal maid, she reminded her master in a timely manner, and it was her business, she was really in a dilemma.

Liuxia can think about her, Changle can hear it, and his heart is still very comfortable, the feelings suppressed by power are always not the feelings that come out of getting along every day, and they must be reliable.

Changle likes this kind of development, she looked at Liuxia encouragingly, nodded and said, "You have a point, I didn't want to go in, I just went over and had a look, it's okay." ”

Liuxia won Changle's approval, and the worries in his heart were relieved, and he didn't dare to say more, so he followed Changle slowly to the Bodhi Temple.

It's the end of the afternoon, and her mother hasn't returned to the palace yet, I'm afraid that she will be left to eat by her uncle.

The Bodhi Courtyard is planted with the best fragrant fine-grained bamboo in Beijing, No, and Dayin, and there is a huge Bodhi tree in the middle that was pulled from the Fanbang with great manpower and material resources. The branches are luxuriant, the roots are deep and the stems are dense, and you can see it from a distance above the courtyard wall.

Standing outside the green wall, smelling the faint sandalwood fragrance wafting out of the courtyard, feeling the tranquility and tranquility that is different from the entire magnificent princess's mansion, like a paradise, and the special case is stored alone. You don't need anyone to go in, as long as you stand here, no matter how chaotic your heart is, it will calm down.

Outside the courtyard, it was not only the fragrance of bamboo and sandalwood, but also the sound of the empty flute wafting out.

The sound of this flute is so ethereal that it doesn't seem to contain a trace of emotion, but it just shows the instrument of the flute purely, and brings the most beautiful sound it can demonstrate to this world, without the player's own emotions at all.

If you taste it carefully, you also have some Buddha's attainments.

Li Rongxiang's flute is also very good, dreamlike, intoxicating, but it is completely different from the style of the master in the courtyard - Li Rongxiang wants to be a combination of human flute, and this one in the courtyard is probably just a kind of consumption.

At the end of the song, Changle is also about to leave, even if she has met once in her previous life, she really doesn't know what to say to the people in the courtyard, and it is already progress to have the courage to walk outside this green wall.

"Let's go back, Liuxia," Changle took Liuxia Gang and turned around, and the sound of the door opening came from the corner door behind him, and a crisp young man's voice said, "May I ask you are the little princess, right?" Please stay, my son-in-law would like to invite you in for a cup of tea. ”

Changle was suddenly startled, and involuntarily turned around, the corner door opened slightly, and in the middle stood a little novice wearing a light blue coarse cloth monk's robe, no more than twelve or thirteen years old, who was bowing to her with his palms together.

She stood outside, but the people in the Bodhi Courtyard already knew, which showed how many secret guards her mother had around this small courtyard.

Surprised to surprised, since the person in the Bodhi Monastery invited her, she has nothing to avoid, she always has to see.

Changle left Liuxia outside the courtyard, "I'll just go in by myself, you wait for me outside." ”

Liuxia was a little worried and wanted to follow, but Changle insisted on refusing, comforted Liuxia a few words, and followed the little novice who was waiting at the door into the corner gate and entered the Bodhi Temple.

Bodhi Courtyard is a small courtyard in the west of the princess's mansion, it is not big, it is a simple three-entry courtyard, this way, there are not a few servants, and the whole courtyard is so quiet that there is almost no noise. In the middle, the flower gallery built with the huge Bodhi tree in the courtyard as the center is covered with fragrant bamboo.

When Changle came in, he saw that the owner of the courtyard was sitting cross-legged under the Bodhi tree covered with thick mats, and he was still holding a bamboo flute that had just been played.

Seeing Changle come in, he stood up slowly, walked over to Changle from under the Bodhi tree, and put the bamboo flute in his hand on the stone table passing by.

The man was tall and thin, with long hair, which stretched over his waist, with a white coarse cloth ribbon casually tucked behind his head, and wore a long cotton robe of pure white, covered with a cream-white coarse cloth robe, wide and loose, without a trace of restraint.

Changle estimates that this style of dressing, Lord Yun should like it very much. Elegant, very plain and elegant, Kuching legacy can not tell the elegance.

This outfit is worn on someone else, as if it is a filial piety, or it is vulgar and pretentious, but it is worn on the body of the person in front of him, which is very suitable, and it is indescribably natural and smooth.

Changle still remembered that in her previous life, she had only seen one side of this person, and this person was also dressed like this, but his appearance was much darker than now. Seeing her mother's body, the calm face couldn't tell how sad it was, but it was already a dead heart. Haven't seen it since.

"You're Changle, right?" When Changle was stunned, the man had already spoken first, his voice was gentle, not a gentle tone brought out by intention, but innate, born to speak in such a tone, "My surname is Zhou Mingzhuo......" There seems to be something to be attached to it, as if he was afraid that it would be abrupt, so he finally didn't say it.

Changle was very conscious and willing to pick him up, "Yes, Uncle Zhou, I'm Changle." ”

The man heard Changle call himself 'uncle', his handsome eyebrows and eyes showed a faint smile, and the warmth of the spring breeze on his face.

He should be thirty-five or six years old, but his face only looks like he is less than thirty, the years have not left any traces on his face, he is still as handsome as a young man who is not involved in the world, there are many ups and downs in the world, he has experienced a lot, but he still has his original intention, which is amazing.

There are stone tables and chairs next to the Bodhi tree, and when Zhou Zhuo invited Changle to sit down, the little novice who brought Changle in had already set up a tea set, as well as snacks and fruits.

"This tea is planted by myself in the temple, after going down the mountain with your mother, I brought some over, you can taste it and get used to it, it is slightly bitter when you first eat, and there is a sweet aftertaste after eating a few bites."

Zhou Zhuo's technique of making tea is extremely simple, omitting many steps in the tea ceremony, almost making water to make tea and going straight to the topic.

Changle took the teacup handed to her by Zhou Zhuo, slightly distracted, she remembered that the last time she drank tea seriously, it was in Yunwang Mansion, Li Rongxiang had a different cup of drunken tea.

Thinking of Li Rongxiang, he tasted the tea handed by Zhou Zhuo, but he didn't feel bitter, only the tip of his tongue was slightly astringent, waiting to take another sip, there was really a sweetness coming up from the root of his tongue, but it was not a tea taste, but like the aroma of a medicinal herb.

After a few mouthfuls, the chest and lungs have a refreshing breath, and I feel extremely transparent. It's a good thing, if you can get some to go...... can be sent to Li Rongxiang. He has an old asthma ailment, and this tea is the best.

"This tastes so special, what kind of tea is this?" Changle's big eyes looked out from behind the teacup, if you can't get it, you always know the name, you can grow it yourself or buy it.

"Without roots, the corpse abandons the Buddha: the body is like a gathering foam, the heart is like the wind, and there is no root and no substance." Zhou Zhuo made a movement with both palms together, which was natural and smooth.

Changle felt that if she hadn't been mixed up by her mother, her Uncle Zhou might really have been with the Buddha for a long time.

It's just this name, Changle scratched his head a little, and when he heard it, he knew that Zhou Zhuo got up by himself, so this tea must have been developed by Zhou Zhuo himself, and there was no other semicolon in this family. Hey, it's no fun to go outside to find it, so it's better to be cheeky and ask for it.

"Well, that's a good name, although I don't understand it well," Changle obediently made a cute look that a girl who was not in time for a young girl, "Is this tea a good seed?" Is it okay for Uncle Zhou to teach me? ”

The moment Changle focused on Zhou Zhuo, Zhou Zhuo was in a trance for a moment, as if he had returned to thirty years ago, when he saw Qihua for the first time, and Qihua also said the same, "The pastries you make are so delicious, can you teach me?" I want to make it for my mother. "How old were they then.

Changle thought well, Emperor Ying really wanted to keep his imperial sister for dinner together, but unfortunately the eldest princess Xiao Hua was reluctant, thinking about the mouth in the small courtyard of the family, but she did not refuse Emperor Ying in person. That's her own brother, she hasn't eaten with her brother for a long time, when she is in a dilemma, there is a military report from the previous dynasty, and after Emperor Win saw it, his face changed greatly, and he didn't have to eat, and he was directly blocked and his stomach was full.

Emperor Ying hurriedly went to the Qianyuan Pavilion and convened an urgent meeting of the ministers of the court, and the eldest princess Xiao Hua did not care about the political affairs of the previous dynasty, so she took this opportunity to leave the palace and return to the princess's mansion before dinner.

As soon as she entered the house, she heard Grandma Sun say that her precious daughter had gone to the Bodhi Monastery, and she was so anxious that she didn't even have time to change her clothes to enter the palace, so she hurried to the Bodhi Monastery.

When she came in like the wind and fire, she saw that under the full-leaf Bodhi tree, her sweetheart was pointing to a pot of grass and leaves, teaching her precious daughter what to learn. Her precious daughter listened with relish, and sometimes smiled and asked something. The scene was very harmonious, and there was no messy and noisy scene as she imagined, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Whether it is Changle or Zhou Zhuo, they are the most important people in her life, if the two of them don't get along well, what will she do if she is caught in the middle? Fortunately, her daughter is sensible, and her sweetheart ......

Well, her sweetheart is a pool of clear water, when the Zhou Guogong Mansion raided his house and destroyed the door, he was arrested from the mountain temple and returned to the prison of the Criminal Department, all with an expression of 'I don't go to hell, who will go to hell'.

It is estimated that as long as her baby daughter does not scold and insult in every way, the two sides will definitely get along.

Before, she really thought too much.

"Mother, you're back, didn't your uncle leave you to eat?"

Changle, who was following Zhou Zhuo to learn how to plant 'rootless tea', looked up and saw her mother standing in the verandah not far from them stupidly, looking at them with complicated eyes.

"Qihua," as Changle called his mother, Zhou Zhuo also put down a branch bud in his hand, stood up, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, bringing out a reassuring smile.

At this moment, Princess Xiao Hua felt that her life was complete, nothing more, nothing more.
