The sun is rising.

Outside the gate, the carriage was already waiting.

The county lord of Nangong, who was wearing a purple dress, was bathed in the golden morning sun, with his hands behind his back, standing tall and beautiful by the gate, looking at one of the stone deer statues in a daze.

When she heard the voice, she came back to her senses.

Song Ruyue helped Miss Qin Er down the steps, and said with a grateful face: "Meijiao, I'm sorry for you." ”

Nangong Meijiao smiled faintly and said, "Auntie, don't be polite to me." You are new to the capital and are not familiar with the road, so I should take you there. It just so happened that I could take the opportunity to go out and have some fun. ”

Miss Qin Er said with a smile: "Mother, Sister Meijiao has been grounded by the prince of the county for many days, if it weren't for the gentlemen, she wouldn't have been able to come out." ”

Song Ruyue was curious: "Why are you grounded?" ”

Miss Qin Er had a smile on her face and did not answer.

Nangong Meijiao pursed her lips and said, "It's just a trivial matter, making a big fuss." Let's go, Weimo, I'll help you up. ”

Song Ruyue saw that she didn't want to say, so she didn't ask any more.

The two of them supported Miss Qin Er on the left and right and got into the carriage.

Luo Qingzhou took Fluttershy and followed behind Second Brother Qin, preparing to get into the carriage behind, when Second Miss Qin suddenly poked her head out of the window and shouted softly, "Brother-in-law, come up and sit here." ”

Song Ruyue's reprimanding voice suddenly came from the carriage again: "Return brother-in-law!" ”

Miss Qin Er immediately changed her words again: "Brother Qingzhou, come." ”

When Luo Qingzhou was hesitating, Second Brother Qin directly pushed him over and said with a smile: "Qingzhou, go sit with Weimo, talk to her, and relieve your boredom." ”

Luo Qingzhou had no choice but to turn his head and say, "Fluttershy, then you and Qiu'er sit in the back and sit with Bailing." ”

Fluttershy says yes and sits in a carriage at the back with Qiu'er and Pearl.

Luo Qingzhou got into the carriage, got into the carriage, and sat down next to Miss Qin Er, with his head down and his eyes not squinting.

To be honest, he really didn't want to sit in the same compartment with them.

If there is only Miss Qin Er and the maid, it doesn't matter, the key is that there is also the mother-in-law and the "Thousand Swords and Snow Shame" county lord.

Sitting across from them, staring at them, always felt a little uncomfortable.

Miss Qin Er suddenly poked her head out of the window again and shouted softly, "Sister, there are still people sitting here, you can come up too." ”

When Qin Pujia was about to speak, she said again: "Sister, Weimo misses you and wants to talk to you." ”

Bai Ling hurriedly said, "Miss, go, go talk to the second miss." ”

Qin Pujia didn't speak anymore and walked to the first carriage.

Mei'er hurriedly walked outside, pulled her up, and helped her into the carriage.

In the carriage, Nangong Meijiao and Song Ruyue sat on the left, and Meier also sat on the left; Luo Qingzhou and Miss Qin Er sat on the right.

In the middle is a narrow white jade coffee table, and a soft blanket is spread on the ground.

Qin Weimo hurriedly pointed to the side and said, "Sister, sit here." ”

Qin Pujia stood there and didn't move.

Song Ruyue, who was sitting opposite, also frowned slightly, and looked at someone with an unkind gaze.

If you sit like this, wouldn't someone sit in the middle, with the sister on the left and the sister on the right?

She glared at her second daughter, did this girl do it on purpose?

Luo Qingzhou reacted, and hurriedly got up and said, "Miss, you sit here." ”

Qin Pujia didn't go to sit down, but walked to Mei'er's seat and sat down.

Mei'er had no choice but to sit in the seat on the right.

Luo Qingzhou sat down at this time.

Qin Weimo said softly: "Sister, is Xia Chan okay?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the other people in the carriage felt a little surprised and puzzled, why did they suddenly ask Xia Chan?

Qin Pujia said lightly: "It's okay." ”

Qin Weimo said: "Listening to Qiu'er, Xia Chan is willing to communicate with people now, and occasionally says something, right?" ”

Qin Pujia didn't answer, and looked at someone opposite.

Qin Weimo suddenly turned his head and smiled: "Brother Qingzhou, is Xia Chan just talking to you?" Did you also help you with ink? ”

The corners of Luo Qingzhou's mouth twitched.

Sure enough, Qiu'er is a spy!

He said calmly, "I don't know. As for Yanmo, Qiu'er and Fluttershy weren't there at the time, and I asked her to help when she had time. ”

Qin Weimo said with a smile: "Brother Qingzhou is really powerful, Weimo remembers that Xia Chan's hand seems to only hold a sword, but I didn't expect to help Brother Qingzhou study ink." ”

Song Ruyue interjected coldly: "That girl can also grow flowers." ”

Qin Weimo was puzzled: "Planting flowers? ”

Song Ruyue was also puzzled: "During that time, she often went to my place and planted flowers for me with that pair of little brothers and sisters. I asked her why she wanted to grow flowers, and she said she wanted to make money. I asked her what she was doing with money. She didn't answer. I give her money, but she doesn't want it, she just wants to grow flowers to earn money. So when I give the little brother and sister a regular amount of money every month, I also send her some money. ”

After hearing this, Qin Weimo frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

After a while, she asked, "Mother, what about the little brother and sister?" ”

Song Ruyue said: "They are reluctant to leave Mocheng, for fear that their parents will not be able to find them when they come back, so I asked your second aunt to take them home." ”

Qin Weimo thought for a while, then suddenly turned his head and asked, "Brother-in-law, have you borrowed money from Xia Chan?" ”

She suddenly remembered that her brother-in-law had borrowed money from her, and it was likely that Xia Chan was the first to look for her, but Xia Chan didn't have it, so she was looking for her.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Luo Qingzhou hurriedly said, "Borrow money?" No, why should I borrow money from her? ”

"Really, not?"

Qin Weimo asked again.

Luo Qingzhou said: "There really isn't. ”

Song Ruyue said: "He stays at home all day to study, how can he spend money." If he needs it, just go to us directly, where will he go to Xia Chan. ”

Qin Weimo didn't speak again.

Luo Qingzhou also fell into deep thought, and began to connect the original series of things in his mind.

He asked Chanchan to borrow money.

Chanchan gave him all the money.

He accepted it, but it was not enough, so he went to the second lady to borrow money.

Chanchan suddenly started to go to the back garden to plant flowers one day.

She wants to make money.

Why does she want to make money?

She doesn't worry about eating and drinking, she usually doesn't buy anything, and she never goes out alone.

She simply didn't have a place to spend her money.

Even if she likes to eat sugar gourds, she has never gone out to buy them alone.

The answer is imminent......

Luo Qingzhou's heart suddenly swelled with pain.

The carriage left the city and headed for the Reclining Buddha Mountain, more than ten kilometers to the east.

The Golden Cicada Temple is located on the Reclining Buddha Mountain.

Almost every day, there is an endless stream of tourists and pilgrims.

Song Ruyue glanced at the pedestrians outside the window, worried, and asked, "Meijiao, is the Golden Cicada Temple very famous in Kyoto?" When the prince of the county goes, don't they give face? ”

Nangong Meijiao was silent for a moment, sighed and said: "The plaque on the Golden Light Hall of the Golden Cicada Temple was written by the first emperor himself. There are two Buddha statues inside, which were given by the former Empress Dowager Dou. It is said that the abbot inside, Master Ning Yuan, has lived for 500 years, and once cast a spell in the previous dynasty and saved tens of thousands of refugees, including the original royal family. In Kyoto, almost all the people are willing to go to the temple to make incense and make a wish as long as they have incurable incurable diseases or other wishes. It is said to be very spiritual. ”

"So aunt, last time my father went, I didn't even see the abbot of the other party, but I didn't have any temper. My father said that in the early disaster season, even when the saint went up to make a wish, he was respectful. ”

Song Ruyue's heart was beating with horror when she heard this, and her heart became more and more desperate: "That...... So what are we going to do? ”

Nangong Meijiao didn't dare to tell the truth, for fear that she would be even more desperate.

Not to mention the retreating monk Master Wukong, even if it is the abbot and the ten elders of the Golden Cicada Temple, they may not be able to see it, at most they can only see the small host of the outer temple or the elder who picks up guests, and it depends on luck.

"Auntie, go try it. It really doesn't work, so let's think of something else. ”

She could only persuade like this.

Song Ruyue said gloomily: "There is another way, if there is really another way, we will not be ......"

She didn't dare to continue, and she didn't dare to look at her daughter.

Qin Weimo said softly: "Mother, it's okay." Even if we don't see the monk, it doesn't matter, we'll go out as a family. Weimo is actually very happy in his heart, and he is already very satisfied when he can come out to play as a family. As for the rest, since it is already predestined, let it be. Weimo has long wanted to open it, cherishing the present and cherishing the people around you is the most important thing. ”

Song Ruyue's heart was sour, and her eyes were red.

In the carriage, the atmosphere was oppressive and fell silent.

Qin Weimo suddenly turned his head and smiled: "Brother-in-law, you have so many stories in your stomach, can you tell us a story to relieve your boredom?" ”

Luo Qingzhou saw that everyone was looking at him, thought about it, and said, "Is it okay to joke?" ”

Qin Weimo smiled: "Of course you can." If my brother-in-law can make my sister laugh......"

Song Ruyue suddenly interrupted him: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law! Who is your brother-in-law? ”

Qin Weimo's smile stiffened slightly, and he lowered his head and said, "Brother Qingzhou......"

Luo Qingzhou hurriedly said, "Then I'll start." ”

Immediately, he began to speak.

[There is a monk who is silent Zen.

He was a Zen master in name, but in fact he had no knowledge and relied on his two attendants to answer questions on his behalf.

One day, the two attendants went out, and a monk came to ask him for advice.

The monk asked, "What is a Buddha?" ”

The Zen master couldn't answer, and he didn't know what to do in a panic, so he looked east and west.

Monk You Fang asked again, "What is the Fa?" ”

The Zen master still couldn't answer, so he looked up and down.

The monk asked again, "What is a monk?" ”

The Zen master couldn't answer as usual, so he had no choice but to close his eyes and sweat profusely.

Monk You Fang asked again, "What is a blessing?" ”

The Zen master still didn't know, but he stretched out his hand in a panic, his face full of shame.

The monk did not speak again, said goodbye and walked out of the temple gate, just when he met two waiters coming back, he told them: "I asked the Buddha, the Zen master looked east and west, which means that people have things and things, and the Buddha has no north and south; When I asked about the Dharma, the Zen master looked up and down, which meant that the Dharma was equal, and there was no distinction between superior and inferior; When I asked the monk, he just closed his eyes and recuperated, which meant that the one lying high in the depths of the white clouds was a highly respected monk; When I asked for blessings, he stretched out his hand, which meant to lead sentient beings. This great Zen master's knowledge has really reached the realm of clear insight. ”

The waiter returned to the Zen master, and the Zen master scolded anxiously and shyly: "Where have you gone, if you don't come to help, let me do my best." He asked the Buddha and taught me to see you in the east and you not in the west. He asked me again about the Fa and taught me that there is no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth. He asked the monk again, I had no choice but to pretend to be sleepy and close my eyes; He asked again, I'm ashamed that I don't know anything, what else do I do, it's better to reach out to the door and ask for food and be a flower child! 】

"Poof......

As soon as she finished speaking, Mei'er next to her couldn't help laughing.

Qin Weimo also covered his mouth and chuckled.

Nangong Meijiao was still expressionless.

Miss Qin's expression was still cold, I don't know if she listened, but in the depths of her eyes, there seemed to be ripples flowing.

Song Ruyue was stunned, blinked her eyes and said, "What do you mean?" You said a lot, and I didn't understand a single word. ”

In fact, she was so preoccupied just now that she didn't listen carefully at all, she only heard what "Zen master monk" said to me.

When Luo Qingzhou was about to speak, a clear voice suddenly came from outside the window: "The donor went to the Golden Cicada Temple, but he made fun of the Zen master, which is immoral." However, the donor said: "People have things and things, and Buddhas have no north and south; There is no superiority in the law, only equality], which is indeed deafening, thank you. ”

Luo Qingzhou heard the voice and hurriedly opened the curtain to look.

I only saw a middle-aged monk wearing a gray robe and carrying a long stick, riding a white horse, crossing the convoy and leaving the dust.

In the blink of an eye, it had disappeared into the dust in front of it.
