Chapter Eighty-Five: A Bit Difficult
There are many rooms in this courtyard, and it seems that it should be a place for the little monks to rest.
The abbot's room was in the middle room, and when I entered the door, I saw a statue of Guanyin, with a futon under the statue and incense burning in the incense burner on the table.
There is a scent of sandalwood in the air, and the smell is very pleasant.
Jiang Rujin and Hua Zhicheng entered the house together, and then Hua Zhicheng took her and kowtowed in front of the statue of Guanyin, and then sat down on the chair on the side.
The abbot meditated and sat cross-legged on the futon and looked at Jiang Rujin curiously: "Miss Jiang is really a heroine among women." He also heard Hua Zhicheng say about Jiang Rujin and felt curious and wanted to see him, but with his own experience in seeing people, he just knew at a glance that Jiang Rujin was definitely not a simple character, this feeling can be explained in a casual sentence or two, some things are often so wonderful, he feels that Jiang Rujin must be the kind of person who is very blessed.
Jiang Rujin was a little ashamed, especially when he heard the respected abbot say such things, he felt even more embarrassed.
"The abbot smiled when he saw it, and Rujin dared to be a heroine among women, but the situation at home was forced to be helpless." She thought of her life's wishes and the misery of her previous life, and every time she thought about it, she became more determined in her heart, and she definitely couldn't accept her fate.
The abbot nodded slightly and had more affection for Jiang Rujin, he liked more humble people very much, and he didn't like to be too conceited and arrogant.
"Miss Jiang is also polite, I have met a lot of people, but I have never seen Miss Jiang like this, it is really not easy to be able to have what you want to do and have your own dreams at a young age, I take the liberty to invite Miss Jiang here today, in fact, I want to ask Miss Jiang a few words."
Jiang Rujin was a little stunned, after all, she and the abbot had only met for the first time. She also believed that Hua Zhicheng would not easily tell the abbot about her affairs, so she was very puzzled.
The abbot smiled politely and said: "Miss Jiang doesn't have to be nervous, I don't mean anything else, I just have a little question I want to ask Miss Jiang, if Miss Jiang thinks it's convenient, she can answer, if she thinks it's inconvenient, you can not answer." "He believes in fate.
He didn't know why he wanted to ask the question that suddenly came to his mind when he saw Jiang Rujin, he believed that everything had cause and effect, just like the instructions given by God.
Since Jiang Rujin has already come, she can't do unreasonable things, and besides, I heard that Hua Zhicheng has a good relationship with the abbot, Hua Zhicheng treats her well, she doesn't want to lose Hua Zhicheng's face.
Nodding slightly, he relaxed a little: "Abbot, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask, but I will tell you the truth if I know." ”
The abbot suddenly became serious: "Miss Jiang doesn't know if you believe in this thing?" ”
Margin? Jiang Rujin didn't know why the abbot would ask such a thing, but now that the abbot asked, she still had to answer, and after thinking about it, she looked at the abbot very cautiously: "Naturally believe in fate, I believe that everything has fate." ”
It doesn't matter if you meet or not, as long as you meet, it's fate, this is something that can't be changed, and it can't be replaced.
The abbot smiled with satisfaction and continued: "Does Miss Jiang know that people actually have past and present lives? Even he felt a little unreasonable to ask this question. After all, Jiang Rujin was invited by him today, not by himself.
This Jiang Rujin must think about it. Circling in her mind, this question was not much entangled, she then raised her head and looked at the abbot and said: "I believe in the past life and this life, I also believe in karma, what people need most in this life is to do good deeds and accumulate virtues, don't do bad things and lack virtues, maybe you will not be punished in this life, but who can explain it in the next life." "Even things like rebirth can happen. Jiang Rujin felt that there was nothing he couldn't believe.
Although she had a miserable life in her previous life, she never harmed anyone. Although she doesn't know why such a thing as rebirth happens to her. But now she felt that everything was going according to the plan in her own mind, and she didn't know why the abbot was asking such a question, and for a moment she thought that the abbot had seen through her identity.
The abbot felt that what Jiang Rujin said was very reasonable: "What Miss Jiang said is very right. People must be kind. "Isn't the Buddha just teaching people to be good?
Hua Zhicheng was a little uneasy in his heart, because the question asked by the abbot was completely unexpected, when he came here before, he told the abbot about Jiang Rujin, simply because he had a little knot in his heart, and he didn't know who to tell him, but now that the abbot knew about it, he didn't expect to see Jiang Rujin.
And now the abbot always feels that there is something wrong with the question he asks, well, in fact, he himself doesn't know what is wrong, but he feels a little awkward after hearing it.
Jiang Rujin's heart was not relaxed at all, she felt that there was always a little bit of pressure with the abbot, and the abbot gave her a completely different feeling, so she felt that the abbot was a little weird.
Maybe it was because he saw that the expression on her face was a little tangled, and the abbot smiled gently and comforted: "Miss Jiang, don't worry, I just have these two doubts and want to ask you, and besides, I heard that the playboy said that you can prepare spices?" ”
Jiang Rujin glanced at Hua Zhicheng, and then looked at the abbot, and even more incomprehensibly understood why the abbot asked like this, and felt more and more that there was something wrong with the abbot.
"Yes."
The abbot said happily: "Can you take the liberty of asking Miss Jiang to help?" ”
"I don't know what?" She looked at the abbot suspiciously, and wanted the abbot to tell the matter quickly, so as not to be nervous all the time in her own heart.
The abbot was in a dilemma, a little bit and didn't know how to speak, but then he looked at Jiang Rujin and said, "I don't know if Miss Jiang can help me prepare a spice, you can rest assured, I will pay you." ”
She was suddenly surprised, and Hua Zhicheng, who had been sitting on the side and had not spoken, was also instantly surprised, and looked at the abbot very incomprehensibly, and looked at the abbot very incomprehensibly, and did not understand why the abbot said this, there was such a request.
She was thinking about whether the monk still needed to use spices, and she felt that it didn't make sense at all.
The abbot was a little embarrassed when he saw the surprised appearance of the two: "Miss Jiang, don't get me wrong, I just like spices, I want to ask you to prepare a spice ...... that is somewhat similar to sandalwood in this room." ”
He was a little embarrassed to talk about this matter, Jiang Rujin didn't dare to agree directly when he thought about it. Since the abbot asked her to prepare something that tastes similar to the room, then it is easy to explain, and those doubts in my heart dissipated in an instant, now everyone admires spices, and monks are also people who also need to follow the public, which seems to be understandable, so I agreed without hesitation: "Yes, but I can't guarantee that I can completely prepare spices that are similar to the fragrance of this room, I have never tried it before, the strongest fragrance in this room is sandalwood, but the spices are different from sandalwood, so it may take a little time." ”
Even if it's a little tougher, she wants to give it a try, so it's a challenge for herself, and it's also an explanation to the abbot.
She suddenly felt that she was actually a little stressed. Otherwise, why would I be so nervous now?
The abbot breathed a sigh of relief and was grateful in his heart: "Thank you, Miss Jiang." I don't need to worry about this matter, I don't need it very much, but that day, a little monk talked about spices in front of me, and it happened that today the playboy talked about your matter, so ....... ”
If it weren't for the fact that he believed in the person recommended by Hua Zhicheng, he would not have rashly made such a request to Jiang Rujin. They are monks, and that cannot be changed.
Jiang Rujin smiled faintly and completely relaxed. As long as it's not a particularly unreasonable request, there's nothing wrong with it. If you agree, you will agree, and nothing will happen to you.
Hua Zhicheng thought for a moment in his heart, and felt that this was a difficult challenge for Jiang Rujin, his family made spices, so he knew something about what Jiang Rujin had just said. He knew that Jiang Rujin was very reasonable, sandalwood is not a spice, and if you want to integrate the two, you don't just need to innovate, the key is how to integrate those floral fragrances and finally blend them into the spices you want, which is the most critical point of existence.
Jiang Rujin was already thinking about what to do in his heart, with the help of Hua Zhicheng, there was no need to worry about the problem of spices, and now the most critical point is not the spices but how to prepare the spices.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was a difficult challenge, she glanced at the abbot in embarrassment, and then said the embarrassment in her heart: "Abbot, don't get too much hope, after all, I have never tried it before, and I haven't been in the industry for long, so I don't have much confidence in myself, but no matter what, I will try, I will try." ”
Everything is not as important as the word "try", the abbot felt a lot more relaxed, he looked at Jiang Rujin with a smile and thanked him; "Thank you, Miss Jiang, Miss Jiang doesn't need too much pressure, just do your best as you said."
As long as he tried his best, it didn't matter if there was not much hope, if he failed, it would be a break in his thoughts, in fact, he had such thoughts a long time ago, but he didn't find the right person.
The time was a little late, Jiang Rujin looked at the city several times, and he understood the meaning in Jiang Rujin's eyes, he looked at the sky outside and turned to the abbot: "The abbot is not early, if it is late, you can't enter the city, we will take the first step." ”
The abbot sent the two out of the small courtyard, Jiang Rujin and Hua Zhicheng walked side by side, and she happened to be at the position of Hua Zhicheng's chin.
Hua Zhicheng looked at Jiang Rujin with some guilt on his face, and was very embarrassed: "Rujin, will you blame me?" ”
Jiang Rujin laughed, and felt that Hua Zhicheng was a little funny when he said such a thing: "Why do I have to complain about you, is it because you introduced me to the abbot?" ”
Hua Zhicheng did not deny it: "I have known the abbot for many years, and I will listen to the abbot chanting the scriptures every once in a while, and I know that the abbot has such a desire, and I have been a little unbearable for many years...... There are other perfumers I don't believe in, only you believe in it, and I firmly believe that only you can do it. ”
There is absolutely no lie in these words, indeed he feels that only Jiang Rujin can do all this, and it is definitely impossible for another person not to ask him why sometimes he feels so wonderful.
Jiang Rujin took a deep breath before looking at Hua Zhicheng: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that you're right, this is indeed a challenge, I have never tried this before, and I don't know if I can do it myself, anyway, I still say that, don't hope too much for yourself, you know?" ”
She couldn't make up her mind herself, and besides, she had read a lot of books during this time, and she had never seen such a magical thing in that book.
So I don't have much confidence in myself, and it's because of this that I feel a little heavy.
Hua Zhicheng felt even more guilty, especially after Jiang Rujin said such a thing, she felt even more that she was adding trouble to her.
"Miss Jiang, I'm abrupt." He now regrets it a little.
Jiang Rujin also comforted the flower to the city: "Dude, don't feel guilty, it's not a big deal, if I can't do it myself, it's a big deal to tell the abbot the truth, didn't I tell the abbot before, I may not be able to do it, right?" If I hadn't done it, the abbot wouldn't blame me, right? ”
"Naturally, I won't blame you, the abbot is not the kind of person who is vexatious, I'm just worried that you're embarrassed, do you know? I just wanted to help the abbot fulfill his wish, and I didn't think about how you felt, I'm really sorry. ”
She is not a person who likes to dwell on what happens, and there is nothing to dwell on when things happen: "How can I blame you when you are at ease, you are also kind when I say this, and besides, you have to believe that I am not, who said that I must not be able to do it, I believe that I can do it myself." ”
The more she continued, the more determined she became, that only with challenges can there be progress, and without challenges, there will be progress.
Besides, she really has confidence in herself, Hua Zhicheng was a little relieved when she heard Jiang Rujin's comforting words, but in short, she still felt a little guilty in her heart and felt that she was a little reckless.
It was late when they returned to Hua's house together, Jiang Rujin returned to the courtyard in less than a quarter of an hour, and the maid delivered the food, she knew that she would follow Hua Zhicheng out of the matter, Mrs. Hua must know, otherwise how could it be possible to send the food on time at this time, it would have been delivered in the past.
The maid brought the food and did not leave in a hurry, but stood next to her and waited.
During this time, the maid sent food to her, so there is some familiarity with the maid, in the past, she would give a reward for the food, and then the maid would say goodbye and leave, and the next day when the meal came, she would pack up the dishes and chopsticks that were sent for the first time.
"What's the matter?" She asked with a worried look at the maid.
The maid saluted embarrassedly before she said slowly: "Miss Jiang and Mrs. Jiang have something to say that she wants to ask the slave maid to bring to you." ”
Hearing the maid's tone of voice, Jiang Rujin thought that she was going out with Hua Zhicheng today, and Mrs. knew that she was unhappy, but she still stabilized the thoughts in her heart and looked at the maid.
The tangled look in the maid's eyes made her even more worried about what Madame had brought.
"I wonder what Madame brought?" (To be continued.) )
