Chapter 5: The Stunning Thief
Zong Zhenglun decided to visit Zong Zhengke, even if the old lady couldn't go, his second uncle would have to go in person. His words were reasonable, saying that it was not from the three girls who were sad and their relatives were close at hand, but they couldn't even see each other.
It's just that he has been called "Uncle and Master" for many years, and Xu called him "Second Master" at first glance, he still can't come back to his senses, and his heart is a little strange. It is conceivable that as soon as Zong Zhengke returns home, the ranking of the girls will have to change from his life to the girls.
Xu's face was full of embarrassment, and he had no choice but to tell the truth: "The third girl also really wants to meet the old lady and the second master, but Venerable Su Hui also lives in the Qingjing Liuli Nunnery. For the sake of His Holiness's safety, no one is allowed to enter the nunnery these days. Although His Holiness fell in love with the three girls, it was not easy for the three girls to make an exception in the nunnery for such a major event. Moreover, the senior monk made it clear that before the ten-year period arrived, the three girls would not be able to meet with their families, so as not to fall short. ”
When Zong Zhenglun heard this, he could only give up. The old lady Ren also came over, and ordered Qiutang to take the first-class Feng'er to reward the Xu family, and sent her back to restore her life.
Xu kowtowed to Mrs. Ren and Zong Zhenglun again, and then withdrew from this room. She has a beautiful face, a generous and calm demeanor, and there seems to be some kind of indescribable rhythm even when she walks. If she changes into a gorgeous dress and puts on her head and face jewelry, she can become a well-educated lady in a few minutes.
This is not surprising, Yunhang Xiao Clan, that is a famous family in the entire Tianxing Dynasty. Even if it is not as brilliant as before, it is not comparable to the average second-class small family. Even if Zong Zhengke's mother is only a side branch of the Xiao family in Yunhang, and the education she has received since she was a child is not much worse than that of the Xiao family, the girl of the Xiao family will be extraordinary.
Walking in the quiet pilgrim's courtyard of Ci'en Temple, Xu's expression is always peaceful and warm. Although she had been away for several years, she was still very familiar with the Temple of Mercy and Grace, and soon left from a secluded path and returned to the Qingjing Liulian by the mountain road.
Compared with the extremely extensive Temple of Mercy and Grace, the Pure Liuli Nunnery is an out-and-out small nunnery. The people inside, including the master and servant of the sect who presided over the Qing cultivation, can be counted in three slaps. There is no incense hall at this nunnery, and pilgrims are never accepted. There is no need to bother with this in the nunnery, and the daily use is delivered on time, so the nuns just need to practice with peace of mind.
Now, Venerable Su Hui has placed an order in the Qingjing Liuli Nunnery, except for a few more retinues who came from the Buddha Kingdom of the East China Sea with His Holiness, there are no major changes in the nunnery. However, if anyone tries to get closer, they will be stopped by the four martial nuns who are guarding the four directions on the way. These Wu nuns specialize in protecting Venerable Su Hui and never show up in front of people.
Xu returned to the nunnery unhindered, and met Zong Zhengke, who was chanting the scriptures and worshipping the Buddha, in a quiet small Buddhist hall. Seeing the thin and delicate bodies of the three girls in their gray clothes, and then thinking about the old lady with a rich face and the equally rich old man she had just seen, her heart seemed to be soaked in bitter water, and she was so uncomfortable.
The third girl is precocious, so young will plan for the future, so in addition to taking care of her diet and daily life, the other side things can't help her. The Xu family was once hit hard, but after so many years, he got used to it.
It's just that although Xu doesn't dare to comment on some of the decisions of the third girl, it doesn't mean that she can fully agree. She still thinks that the girl's family still has to find a good family to live with Meimei in the future.
Forget it, let's persuade it slowly in the future. After all, the third girl is still young, and there are still two years before Jilu. Xu Shi quietly let out a long breath, quietly walked behind the three girls, knelt quietly on the futon, and folded his hands and closed his eyes to recite Buddhist scriptures silently. After a while, the manic depression in her heart dissipated.
Half an hour passed, Zong Zhengke's low chanting voice stopped, respectfully kowtowed to the Maitreya Buddha statue, and lit the three pillars of incense with her own hands and inserted it into the incense burner, before she slowly stood up.
Seeing this, the Xu family also acted in accordance with the law, and Zong Zhengke waited for her to finish the salute, and then asked softly: "Can you see people?" As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards the living room in the small Buddha hall.
Seeing it, the old lady was rubbed by the princess of Yuyan County, and she was very tired. She was resting in her room when the slave and maid went, and she had not yet returned. The eldest old man and slave also saw it, and they were very happy. The old lady and the second old man both said that they were coming to visit you, and the old lady shed tears and almost fell out of bed. Xu replied, his expression flat.
Zong Zhengke chuckled twice, shook his head, and didn't say anything. The master and servant followed each other back to the inner room, and Xu called hot water for Zong Zhengke to clean his face and wash his hands, and made Putuo Buddha tea produced by the Buddha country for her to drink, and then retired to arrange lunch.
Zong Zhengke crooked on the elm day couch by the window, casually touched a travelogue of mountains and rivers in his hand, and looked out the window at the bamboo forest swaying gently in the wind. It's been almost ten years, and she has opened her eyes again and returned to this life, and it has been so long, but how can she feel that it is just a blink of an eye?
Just as he was thinking about it, a crisp voice outside the door spoke: "Third girl, Mingyue is here!" Zong Zhengke smiled and said, "Okay." ”
The curtain was lifted, and a girl in her twenties jumped in from outside, wearing a fat white silk coat, no hat, and her hair only grew to her shoulders, which was simply tied up with a gray cloth band. She has a pair of big bony and lively eyes, a pretty nose and a ruddy mouth, but her expression is innocent and delicate, like a child.
"Three girls, it's fun here!" Mingyue leaned down to Zong Zhengke's side, smiled widely, and bent her eyes into crescent moons, and counted all the fun things with her fingers, "You can tease crickets, catch birds, catch cooing insects, Senior Sister Huiyi also made a leaf flute for Mingyue and taught Mingyue to play the leaf flute." Third girl, when Mingyue learns it, will I blow it to you? ”
"Okay, I'll wait for the bright moon to blow." Zong Zhengke smiled and gently brushed the gray and black dust rubbing on the collar of Mingyue's shirt with his fingers, and said pityingly, "Look at you, you have soiled your clothes again, be careful and teach you a lesson!" ”
Mingyue shrunk her neck and spit out the tip of her pink tongue. She was afraid of being taught a lesson by Senior Sister Mingxin, so she quickly hid in the third girl. She stretched out her well-washed hand, carefully touched Zong Zhengke's long black hair hanging down on the couch, and asked enviously: "Third girl, when will Mingyue have such beautiful hair?" Mingyue's hair is so short. ”
"When you don't stain your robes, when you can grow your hair." A cold voice came from outside the curtain, and then said, "Third girl, I want to see you." ”
Zong Zheng agreed, and the speaker entered the inner room, but it was a girl of fifteen or sixteen, with the same hair only reaching to her shoulders, pressed with a ni hat and never tied up. She is delicate in color, her figure is like a willow, but her expression is as cold as frost, and she doesn't smile at all. just glanced at Mingyue with cold eyes, and Mingyue was so frightened by her that she fell into Zong Zhengke's arms.
"Mingyue already knows it's wrong, don't scare her anymore." Zong Zhengke chuckled and persuaded.
Mingxin's expression eased a little, and he saluted Zongzheng and said, "Third girl, Master Zhiming of Guang'en Temple sent a handwritten letter. As she spoke, she handed over a letter, Mingyue hurriedly came over to pick it up, and held it in both hands and sent it to Zong Zhengke.
Zong Zhengke received the letter and unfolded it, looked at it carefully, and smiled slightly: "It's not easy to refuse the invitation of Master Zhiming's nephew, so I will arrange for the princess of Yuyan County to come to see me tomorrow afternoon, and there will be nothing to do." In fact, the meeting with Princess Sun was already in her plan.
Master Zhiming, the presiding officer of the Guangen Temple in Yuyan Prefecture of the Tianxing Dynasty, once went to the Buddha country in the East China Sea to pay homage to the Buddha, and had a relationship with Zong Zhengke. Later, Master Zhiming was accepted as a registered disciple by the three disciples under the seat of the Pudu Divine Monk, the Supreme Venerable Dashi, and he was regarded as the registered nephew of Zong Zhengke, the Venerable Su Hui.
The Great Trend Supreme was originally the last disciple of the Pudu Divine Monk, and it was not until he came to Zong Zhengke that he was promoted to senior brother. He is ten years older than Zong Zhengke, and he is already the junior brother with the youngest age gap with her. Zong Zhengke went to Dapuji Temple at the age of four, and followed him to practice until he was eight years old, and the relationship between his brothers and sisters was quite close. His named disciple, Zong Zhengke, still gives face.
Now that the matter has been decided, Mingxin went out to reply. After a while, Xu brought lunch, and then called back Mingxin, and this strange master-servant combination ate quietly in the inner room.
Two very simple vegetarian dishes with rice, vegetarian stir-fried spring bamboo shoots and ginger cabbage, and a big bowl of barley and red date soup, the four of them quickly ate it. Zong Zhengke rested on trivial matters, and after getting up, he went to the small Buddha hall to continue chanting the scriptures and worshipping the Buddha and picking up Buddha beans until dinner.
The fourth disciple of the Pudu monk of the Great Puji Temple of the East China Sea Buddha Kingdom, Venerable Su Hui, the Dharma name is the Red Lotus Girl, and the layman's name is Zong Zhengke, eating, worshipping the Buddha, and resting, which is her daily life after returning to the Tianxing Dynasty.
But tonight, a little funny thing happened.
Zong Zhengke was obviously asleep, but he suddenly opened his eyes and slowly turned his head to look at the small door leading to the small Buddha hall outside. She has never had to keep vigil, and the Xu family and Mingxin Mingyue all have their own residences, and they don't live in a small courtyard with her. First, she is not as weak and useless as she seems on the surface, and second, the pure glass hermitage is protected by Wuni. But they didn't expect that there would really be a daring thief who was a master of art and would touch it directly.
The little thief didn't seem to be afraid of alarming people at all, and walked around the small Buddha hall a few times without knowing what he was looking for, and then he directly pushed open the small door, opened the curtain and entered the inner room, and walked lightly to the bed. As soon as he looked down, he met Zong Zhengke's eyes that were as clear as autumn water.
Both of them were stunned.
The thief probably didn't expect Zong Zhengke to be awake, and Zong Zhengke was a little surprised by the thief's unscrupulousness. He did not wear a night coat or cover his face, so he showed a beautiful face in the moonlight.
The nose is like a hanging gall, high and straight. The skin is as white as ice and snow, soft as fat jade, and moist than pearlescent.
The eyebrows are extremely black, black as a crow's tail, and black as ink.
The eyes are extremely bright, as bright as the morning star, as bright as the scorching sun.
The lips are extremely bright, as bright as cinnabar, as bright as blood.
If it weren't for the fact that he did have an Adam's apple under his jaw and his height was extremely oppressive, it would really make people think he was a woman. Zong Zhengke's little brother is the most outstanding beautiful man in the Buddha country, and he is called "Jade Monk" by the good deeds, and this stunning thief who is about sixteen or seventeen years old is not inferior to him in terms of appearance.
