The New Year is approaching step by step, and the ladies and girls who want to make a vow or enter the incense before the year will find a good day and an auspicious day to go to Kyoto's largest temple - Mingjue Temple, which is not only the most believed temple of the Queen Mother today, but also has many monks sitting in meditation, and many older ladies love to listen to their lectures.

It's just that this year's Meikakuji Temple seems to be more lively, and it is said that the high-ranking monk Bunian who has traveled abroad seems to have returned to Kyoto recently, and he also showed his face once in the main hall of Mingjukuji Temple.

Not reciting the monk's name sounds very strange, but he didn't call it before, he was a disciple who presided over the personal transmission, and he was originally the same as an ordinary monk, honestly participating in Zen and chanting scriptures, and occasionally going to the folk to understand the world. Because he has a good understanding and has no distractions, the old host thought that after he passed away, he would pass the position of host to the monk who did not read it.

Mingjue Temple was not a mainstream temple back then, the people still believe in Taoism, but the Queen Mother three visits Mingjue Temple, the first time is to ask for a son, the second time is to repay the vow, the third time and when the emperor is seriously ill, at that time the fledgling monk does not know what to say to the Queen Mother, so that the Queen Mother is extremely dependent on Buddhism, but also after she became the Queen Mother, the Mingjue Temple is respected as the first national temple in Chen today.

It's just that when the respected old host passed away, the monk who was supposed to inherit the presiding monk inexplicably changed his name and left Mingjue Temple, before he left, the prime minister came, the queen mother sent someone to come, and even several great Confucians came in person, but unfortunately the monk had made up his mind, a monk's robe, a pair of monk shoes and a small burden, and soon left Kyoto.

And then not long after, there were more and more legends about this great monk, some people said that he outwitted corrupt officials, some people said that he turned into a thief, and there was a legend that he had the ability to collect the locusts in the field in one day! The more these legends are spoken, the more curious and reverent the great monk becomes, and even in Kyoto, there are ghost fox stories specially arranged according to the great monk, and for these unbounded stories, the teahouse is almost full every day.

Of course, there will be no such superstition among the family and the royal family, but many people know the wisdom and talent of this monk, and even the queen mother thought about letting the emperor worship the monk as a teacher and learn the way of governing the country.

Many years have passed, the rumors of this monk have not been buried by time, he has written a lot of poems or travelogues along the way, all the ink treasures from his hands are absolutely priceless in Chen Guo, and even the palace and the prime minister's mansion have many collections.

How many children grew up listening to his stories, how many people dreamed of becoming his disciples, once they could only regret that he had no fixed residence, but now if they don't read the monk, they have returned to Mingjue Temple.

Mingjue Temple was surrounded by all kinds of carriages early in the morning, and ordinary people came to offer incense a day earlier in order to avoid these dignitaries.

"Big brother! Come out of here! Meng Qizhen jumped out of the carriage and turned around to shout at a carriage behind her.

Mrs. Meng frowned and looked at her daughter, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Pay attention to the occasion, what it looks like!" ”

Meng Qizhen stuck out her tongue, but she didn't pay attention to it at all, she walked quickly to Meng Boliang's side, hugged his arm and smiled: "Big brother, do you think that the great monk will accept you as an apprentice today?" ”

Meng Boliang shook his head helplessly and said, "Don't talk nonsense, it's so funny." ”

Meng Qizhen pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "Why can't my eldest brother be his apprentice?" ”

"Curiosity!" Mrs. Meng came over and said unhappily: "I'm just here to burn incense today, if you don't understand the rules again, stay in the car." ”

Meng Qizhen knew that her mother was really angry, so she quickly lowered her head honestly.

At this time, it was also a coincidence, just as the carriage of the He family and the Shu family reached the foot of the mountain, He Shuyao and Shu Wanxuan got down from the carriage and glanced at each other.

Most of the families have heard about He Shuyao and the prince, after all, Shun Kangbo's attitude of wanting to marry his daughter to the Suning Marquis Mansion has made many families wait to see the jokes of the two families in private. As for Shu Fu, because Shu Wanxuan is very low-key, and she didn't put Zhuang Jinyuan in charge, and she is not yet too old, even if some people know the inside story, they will not criticize a girl who is helpless in a hurry.

When Meng Qizhen saw the two of them, what mother and what brother she didn't remember, she walked over with a quick smile, and didn't notice the uncomfortable look on He Shuyao's face after seeing Shu Wanxuan, she just shouted with joy: "It's a coincidence, it can be seen that we are all fateful!" ”

Mrs. Meng couldn't pull her daughter down at this time, so she had to nod to Mrs. He and Mrs. Shu from afar, but she didn't come forward to say hello.

"It's all made me spoiled!" Mrs. Meng turned around and said through gritted teeth.

Although Meng Boliang felt that his sister was a little confused, but in the end it was his own sister, and she looked so heartless on weekdays, and she also said tolerantly: "She has been like a boy since she was a child, and we don't restrain her, this time I will wait for someone to get married before I come to make amends, I'm afraid it's too late, it's better to find a suitable one for her to marry, and the two will become one." ”

"And say that!" Meng Boliang didn't mention this, but when she mentioned this Mrs. Meng, she almost didn't blow up, she said with an angry face: "With her virtue, what kind of family do you want to marry in Kyoto, I originally wanted to find it in the house of your father's former subordinate, who knew that Fu Ningzhun came to the door to propose!"

What a good boy! The two grew up together as childhood sweethearts, did you say your sister took the wrong medicine? What do you say, there is no love between husband and wife, only the friendship of brother and sister. When I married your father, I didn't even know whether your father was round or flat, what kind of husband and wife love?

It's her friends who hooked her up! Look at the girl in Shun Kangbo Mansion, she chased after the man at a young age and let the family be responsible, and then look at the girl of the Shu family, but she is just a daughter who fills the house, and she is even more prominent than the big girl in front, what kind of family is this, she still takes these people as treasures. You see, there are times when she regrets it! ”

Meng Boliang touched his nose and felt a little hurt, Fu Ningzhun and him are also friends, but his sister-in-law is not married, and he can't watch his sister unhappy, so in the end, he can only stand behind his sister and be sorry for his friend.

"I am just a daughter like her, I just ask her to marry smoothly, don't think about those who don't have all day long, this world has never been fair to women, I don't want her to live too hard......" Mrs. Meng wiped the corners of her eyes sadly, pitying the hearts of parents all over the world.

Meng Qizhen didn't realize that her mother was so attentive to her, she was holding her friend's arm and laughing without scruples, and only told everything she had heard about recently, and she was about to suffocate to death when she was detained by her mother these days.

Shu Wanxuan and He Shuyao walked side by side, He Shuyao didn't say a word with a cold face, until Shu Wanxuan was still as usual, waiting for a few of them to walk up the hill and temporarily separate from their families, Shu Wanxuan whispered in He Shuyao's ear: "Sister He, is this my fault?" ”

He Shuyao lowered her head unnaturally and said, "There is nothing." ”

"I didn't say much that day, and I won't say much in the future, Sister He...... Some marriages are not suitable for anyone. Shu Wanxuan's eyes were clear, and she seemed to be a little aggrieved.

"You really don't care? Don't miss him either? He Shuyao raised her head nervously and said.

"I'm still young, besides, as I said with Sister Qizhen, getting married always has to find a match, I don't want to marry like this, who knows if I'm marrying an uncle or a brother? That son is indeed a good person, but his temper is too explosive. Shu Wanxuan saw He Shuyao's shoulders lowered, so she pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "Do you know that he actually hit the porter in front of General Mo's Mansion a few days ago, tsk...... A good man in my mind, but he is knowledgeable and wise! ”

"Huh? That...... That's really his fault, and I'll look for an opportunity to talk about him when I get back. He Shuyao saw that Shu Wanxuan's expression didn't seem to be fake, so she regained a little closeness from the past and said: "It's just a pity that he has been avoiding me recently, and I don't have a chance to talk to him." ”

"Hey...... Such people are very wild. Shu Wanxuan's face was slightly red and said: "But I heard that the prodigal son will not change his money, if such a person can take who to heart, it will be put away for a lifetime, my sister is so persistent, it is beyond the reach of others, the son of the world may be swaying in his heart!" ”

"Is that true?" He Shuyao said in disbelief.

"I just heard...... But I don't have the perseverance, sister, you can ask for more blessings. Shu Wanxuan said disgustedly.

He Shuyao immediately smiled, pulled Shu Wanxuan and called out a few times, the former mustard and defense, but a few words disappeared without a trace.

"What did you just say?" Meng Qizhen ran all the way to the front and back all the way, looking at the two who seemed to have a better relationship.

"I won't sue you!" The two girls looked at each other and smiled, pulled Meng Qizhen and ran forward.

The three of them led their subordinates straight to the pagoda on the mountain, where it is said that there are many charming scenery behind it, even in winter.

Who knows, after waiting for the three of them to go up the mountain, there were already several people standing in the leafless woods, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

As soon as He Shuyao approached, her face pulled down, and just opposite her stood Zhuang Jinyuan, Mo Li, Fu Ningzhun, and the little county lord with a whip. These people gathered in a circle and no one stepped forward, and finally Acacia reluctantly walked out of the crowd, separated a few people, He Shuyao found that there was a girl sitting under the big tree opposite at this time, full of sweat, and tears, and I don't know if she was injured.
