In the early morning of the next day, Shen Roubing and Shen Rouning rushed to the monks to do their morning class, and offered their respective copies of the scriptures to the Buddha, and inevitably added some silver. This time they were received by the presiding master, Master Juexin, but they still only got a few "Amitabha", and there were no more words.

Shen Roubing opened her mouth to pray for Brother Bai's speedy recovery, but the master still recited the Buddha's verses and did not say much.

What about saying "blessed and profound".

When encountering such an abbot master, even the most devout pilgrim will be secretly annoyed in his heart.

People come all the way to worship the clay Buddha statue on this hall, and offer their hard-earned silver hands, isn't it just to listen to a few good words and ask for psychological comfort? It is puzzling why the master is so stingy.

Shen Roubing waited in front of the Buddha for a long time because she wanted something.

Shen Rouning took a step first, walked out of the main hall, looked left and right, and saw a little monk about the same size as Brother Rong, bald and round-headed, a little cute and cute, so he beckoned to him, smiled and took out a piece of sesame candy cake from the purse, gave it to the little monk, and said, "Little Master, try it." ”

The little monk looked a little silly, but he was very cautious and did not come forward immediately.

Shen Rouning's smile became more and more gentle and good-looking, and said, "I have a younger brother who is as old as you." He loves to eat this sesame candy cake the most, and no matter where he goes, he doesn't forget to bring some with him. ”

"The little monk knows the benefactor's younger brother." The little monk opened his mouth, and his eyes showed some longing for sesame candy cake, but he said, "But Master said that the desire of the mouth is also called greed." A young monk must not commit a precept of greed. ”

"Little Master's Dharma is so good." Shen Rouning praised and said: "The sugar cake is sticky to the teeth, and we don't want to give our brother more food on weekdays, there is a ration, and we are only allowed to eat three small pieces a day." Only when he reads well, will he be rewarded with an extra piece. ”

"Little Master's Dharma is so good, there should be a reward." Shen Rouning handed the sesame sugar cake to the little monk and said, "The Buddha must also be willing to reward good disciples...... Only one piece, how can it be considered gluttonous. ”

"If you eat half a catty or eight taels in one go, and your stomach hurts when you eat it, that's called gluttony, and the Buddha doesn't like it."

The little monk was moved by Shen Rouning's words, and finally hesitated to take the sesame sugar cake from Shen Rouning's hand and quickly put it in his mouth. The sweetness in his mouth made him squint his eyes happily, and he was not as wary of Shen Rouning as he was at the beginning.

Shen Rouning is not very old, and she is very good-looking. With a few small talk such as "what is it called, how old is it", and after getting a few pieces of plum blossom cake cloud cake, the little monk looked at Shen Rouning, and he was already very cordial.

"I don't see that there are many pilgrims in our temple...... I wonder if you have enough incense and silver to buy rice, grain, and cloth? If there is a difficulty, I can ask my mother to add more...... Well, my brother and I also have some private money, which can be given to you. Shen Rouning's face was full of sympathy, and she looked at the little monk, as if he must not have enough food and clothing.

Monks also have to eat and wear.

The reason why there are so many temples in Zhongshan is because there was an emperor in the previous dynasty who worshiped Buddha extremely and gave monks a very high status and a lot of fertile land, and did not have to pay any taxes. But obviously, in Daqing, although these emperors did not take extreme actions to destroy the Buddha, they no longer allowed the temple to occupy a large amount of land and raise some idlers.

If a monk wants to eat and wear, he must turn into a pilgrim and ask for it.

But there are so many temples in Zhongshan, but there are a number of pilgrims, and there are also a lot of money in their hands that can provide for the Buddha...... One can imagine how fierce the competition between these temples is. And like Lanruo Temple, the monks ignore people one by one, and they don't even say more auspicious words, and it's strange that they are not calm.

No pilgrims means no incense silver.

There is no incense and silver, and there are dozens of monks in the temple, and eating and dressing are all problems.

It stands to reason that Lanruo Temple is so deserted, and the monks' lives should be miserable...... But Shen Rouning found out early in the morning, and it didn't seem to be the case. If nothing else, at least none of the monks here are yellow-faced and thin-skinned.

It was so weird, Shen Rou Ning saw such a little monk, of course she wanted to investigate.

The little monk didn't know what Shen Rou Ning was thinking in his heart. He only felt that the little benefactor's sister in front of him was good-looking and kind-hearted, and the delicious and sweet pastries in his mouth...... His heart was very moved, and his eyes were a little red.

The little donor's sister actually wanted to give him all the money she had saved up in her private house. for fear that he would suffer and starve. She is so kind-hearted, how can he ask for it. There's nowhere to spend it.

"Thank you, Sister Donor, but don't need to." The little monk said movingly: "There is no shortage of offerings in our Lanruo Temple, so we don't have to worry about food and clothing." It's true. ”

"Really?" Shen Rouning asked in surprise, "But there are no pilgrims coming, where did the offerings come from?" I don't believe it. Little Master, you should follow me to get the silver in a while. I came this time, and I didn't bring much, so I brought two taels, and I was supposed to buy myself a beaded flower......"

The little monk hurriedly interrupted Shen Rouning's words, afraid that she would really give him the silver she bought flowers to wear, so he said hurriedly: "Of course it's true!" Monks don't speak! ”

"There is a noble person who has offered a lot of money and sent it back once every three months, so that we can practice with peace of mind!" The little monk was in a hurry, and finally told the truth. After finishing speaking, he realized that he was likely to make a mistake, so he hurriedly covered his mouth and begged Shen Rou to connoise: "Sister donor, the abbot doesn't let me talk nonsense, you must not tell others." ”

"Well, I don't tell anyone." Shen Rou Ning said cautiously.

When the little monk heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Rouning added: "But you have to tell me, who is that nobleman...... I need to know if you're lying. ”

The little monk's round face fell, and he shook his head, his eyes were dumbfounded, but he refused to say more.

Shen Rou thought for a while, stared at the little monk's eyes, and asked him, "Then tell me, did those two male benefactors last night send offerings for the nobles?" ”

The little monk's eyes widened suddenly.

Shen Rouning got the answer, and comforted the little monk with a smile: "If there are really noble people to worship, then I will rest assured...... Well, don't worry, little master, I won't talk nonsense. ”

The little monk was a little frustrated, but soon, he was coaxed by Shen Rouning's kind words and peanut crisp osmanthus cake.

"My name is Jinghua, and the donor's sister must come to me in the future."

Seeing Shen Roubing coming out of the main hall, the little monk hurriedly emphasized a sentence to Shen Rouning, and trotted away.

Shen Roubing walked over and looked at Shen Rouning curiously.

Shen Rouning smiled and explained, "That little master just now was very funny. ”

Shen Roubing didn't ask any more.
