Chapter Twenty-Six: Farewell
Time passed quietly little by little, in such a warm and beautiful state
It wasn't until Cui Changjian came upstairs to look for them that Cui Wanqing was shocked to realize that she and Qi Xuanhui had been alone for more than an hour!
Fortunately, Cui Changjian's expression was as usual, and he didn't show a hint of ridicule, and Cui Wanqing's embarrassed mood was slightly better.
But Rao is like this, her originally fair face is also flushed with a layer of delicate rose, and a pair of big and clear apricot eyes can't help but sparkle.
Relying on the ground added a bit of colorlessness to Cui Wanqing, and Cui Changjian's heart sank when he saw it, but before he could speak, Qi Xuanhui took two steps forward very cleverly.
happened to block the shy and coquettish Cui Wanqing behind him, he waved his fan, and said very chicly: "Changjian just played with the master, how about winning or losing?" ”
Cui Changjian was stopped by him, which made him a little angry, Cui Wanqing is his own sister-in-law, and bringing his sister-in-law to meet her lover is already deviant enough.
If under his nose, the sister is still taken advantage of by others, then what face does he have, walking in the world frankly.
Immediately, he wanted Qi Xuanhui to get out of the way, and carefully observed his little ninth sister.
"Yes, third brother, how many rounds have you talked about? Did you win the master? Cui Wanqing curiously poked her head out from behind Qi Xuanhui.
He asked with a frown.
As soon as she asked, Cui Changjian felt at ease. But seeing that the suspicious flush on Cui Wanqing's face had faded, a pair of petal-like lips were glowing with a faint pink, and her eyes were also clear.
It can be seen that this girl just now is embarrassed, not what Cui Changjian thought in his heart.
He couldn't help but soothe his expression, and said with a smile: "In two hours, I only played three games, and the master's chess skills are profound, and he is better than me twice." His Majesty is convinced of losing. ”
"Huh." didn't wait for Qi Xuanhui to speak. Cui Wanqing couldn't help but smile again: "Don't you think that the master doesn't abide by the rules and breaks the vow to eat meat?" ”
"It's just a game of three games, so is this a change of admiration?"
Qi Xuanhui chuckled lightly with a fan covering his mouth, and his wrist turned slightly. He gently knocked on Cui Wanqing's head with the end of the fan. He said angrily: "It's not big, it's not small." Whose sister talks to her brother like this? ”
"In my opinion, Changjian spoils you too much, and in the future, I still have to let him be a strict brother, not a loving brother."
Cui Wanqing touched the place where she knocked. Qi Xuanhui, who smiled happily with a white eye, pouted very dissatisfied, and muttered in a low voice: "Don't be a villain, come to provoke the relationship between our brothers and sisters, my third brother is good to me, you are actually unhappy, and you have to let him discipline him strictly, what kind of heart do you have!" ”
Qi Xuanhui was embarrassed, covered half of his face with a fan, turned his face sideways, and explained in a low voice: "Hey, why are you still serious?" Didn't I put a high hat on him? ”
"Actually, the more I say that, the better he will be to you"
"Cough, cough" Cui Changjian really couldn't stand it, these two people showed affection as if no one was around.
I just felt uncomfortable, I just felt an itchy throat, and I couldn't help coughing twice.
This coughing sound is quite effective, Cui Wanqing suddenly blushed, took two or three steps back, lowered her head and whispered: "Third brother, let's go, the hour is not too early, I will go to sweep my mother's grave in a while, let's go and say goodbye to the master." ”
Cui Changjian nodded with satisfaction, and clasped his fist at Qi Xuanhui: "Lord Wang, please"
Qi Xuanhui glanced at him, turned his face to Cui Wanqing and said, "Qing'er first, I have something to say to Changjian." ”
"Oh." Cui Wanqing nodded in response, "Okay." Then he lifted the corner of his skirt and went first to the top of the staircase.
Don't look at her promise so neatly, and her actions are so well-behaved and obedient, but Cui Wanqing's heart is curious.
I really want to know what the two behind me are going to say.
On the surface, it seems that she walks quite normally, but in fact, she walks fast, but the steps are small.
In this way, the distance between the two people behind him is correspondingly closer.
Cui Wanqing pricked up her ears and eavesdropped hard.
"Originally, it was also said that after a while the master appreciated it, this Dong Zhizhang's 'Bijian Lingering Spring' would be transferred to Changjian, the summer is hot, with this fan in hand, you can also send some cool breeze, but now I see you so anxious, I can only wait for the next time I have the opportunity to talk about it."
"Ahh Don't worry, who said your subordinates are in a hurry? The master is erudite and well-read, and his subordinates want to listen to his comments on Mr. Zhang's masterpiece, lord, your subordinates will go back tonight, and they will have to stay up all night to read hard."
Cui Wanqing in front smiled, it turned out that Qi Xuanhui suspected that Cui Changjian had coughed just now, this was a trick to trick people.
But as long as he is a scholar and a talent, there is no one who does not know the former dynasty Dong Zhizhang, this person has a bumpy life and an extremely desolate death, but he has left a lot of good works.
Highly respected by later generations, his paintings are now sold at extremely high prices, especially for rare fans like this, which are even more difficult to find.
Cui Changjian pays so much attention to his appearance, he has always stood at the forefront of the trend in the capital, handsome son, where can he let go of a rare treasure.
The two of them walked side by side behind Cui Wanqing, and what you said and I said was quite intense.
Cui Wanqing, who listened to it, had to chuckle out loud from time to time.
In such a relaxed atmosphere, it was brisk to walk all the way to the front yard.
The three of them entered the Jialan Building on the east side of the front yard, the downstairs was empty, and when they went upstairs to take a look, the master was facing the wide open bamboo window, tasting fragrant tea, looking at the beautiful scenery of the back mountain, and enjoying themselves.
As soon as he saw Cui Wanqing and the three of them enter the door, he looked at the scriptures in Cui Wanqing's hand with a smile, "Well, the girl borrowed more scriptures this time than usual, what?" Are you going to work hard? ”
Cui Wanqing smiled and said, "Qing'er has seen the master, and this time I took a few more scriptures, but because after a while, I will go to Jiangnan with my father." ”
Qing'er thought, she won't return after many years. The elders in the family may not miss it. ”
After thinking about it, I decided to copy a few more scriptures before leaving, and honor my grandmother and grandmother respectively.
"After all, the scriptures that are generally copied are small, and if Qing'er copies them himself, they can write bigger, and it is also convenient for the two old people to read."
"In the future, when they chant the scriptures every day, it will be as if Qing'er is still by their side, which can be regarded as fulfilling the filial piety of the younger generations."
"Well, you've always been a good boy with filial piety. No wonder there are so many elders who like you. Master Ran listened to Cui Wanqing's words. first heartily scolded her.
Then he whispered, "Jiangnan"
These two simple words, tumbling from the tip of his tongue, actually read a different kind of charm.
I saw the look of the master. I can't help but reveal deep reminiscences. "It's been since the last time I went to Jiangnan. It's been nearly a decade. ”
"I don't know if those old guys are still in good health, and their cultivation has benefited?"
"I read the letter in the early years. I know that Senior Brother Honghui has accepted a proud disciple, and he is very satisfied between the lines."
"Come to think of it, if I can get together with them again and concentrate on the Dharma for once, I will definitely be able to gain a lot."
"It's a pity"
Master Ran, speaking of this, I can't help but sigh and sigh greatly.
Cui Wanqing was a supporter of Master Ran in her previous life, and in order to change the favor of the master, she donated silver to Dacheng Temple and molded her golden body.
As a devout believer, she knows the life of Master Ran well.
Cui Wanqing clearly remembered that in the ten years of Wenhua, Master Ran did take a few beloved disciples to swim to Jiangnan once by water.
He was in the most famous Hongruo Temple in the south of the Yangtze River, and five virtuous monks discussed the scriptures behind closed doors for 6636 days, and suddenly had an epiphany after opening the door, sitting in meditation for nine days, and then opened his eyes at the moment, he crossed the bottleneck in one fell swoop.
When he returned to Beijing, he stopped at the Houshan Bamboo House, spent five years, and wrote the book "All Living Beings Are Equal".
This miracle is a lone book, calling on the nobles and the common people, in fact, it is a masterpiece of equality, and it also set off a huge wave in the Dajing Dynasty, and there are people who pursue him and abuse him.
For a period of time, there were many people outside the gate of Dacheng Tianji Temple, and there were dozens of hundreds of people every day, who wanted to discuss the Fa with Master Zhiran.
All of them are like fighting cocks, with their necks bent, their eyes glaring, and they just want to fight.
In fact, to put it bluntly, don't you all want to become famous?
It's good to step on the shoulders of Master Ran and help yourself get to the top.
In the end, even the open-minded Master Ran couldn't bear the troubles, and finally chose the path of retreat, which can be regarded as the end of the matter.
Thinking of the help of Master Ran during the trip to Jiangnan, a bright light suddenly flashed in Cui Wanqing's mind, "Why do you have to wait for ten years?" Why not go now? ”
Unconsciously blurted out: "Master, since your heart yearns for it, why don't you go to Jiangnan with Qing'er and have a tour with your heart, what's wrong?" ”
"What's wrong? Come as you like" Hearing this, the master's face froze, as if he was enchanted, and he muttered these two sentences over and over again.
Suddenly, Master Ran stood up suddenly, dancing and laughing: "Haha, haha, what a casual one."
"yes, why be bound? Why should we be constrained, and why should we be held back? ”
"Great monk, I want to throw away the shackles of a qiē and go to find my great freedom!"
"Good girl, good boy, let's just say it, when the time comes, let's go to Jiangnan together and have a casual tour!"
Cui Wanqing was infected by his open-minded attitude, and couldn't help jumping, smiling like flowers blooming brightly, her feet were light, and her hands were applauding for Master Ran.
Cui Changjian was a little confused by the demons in front of him, and he was really a little overwhelmed.
He looked at the two madmen, one big and one small, and just between a question and an answer, he decided on a long-distance journey across thousands of miles so casually.
The two of them are still dancing with childlike hands, giggling and laughing, fortunately, there will be no outsiders, but seeing that someone else is here, I'm afraid there will be rumors in the capital tomorrow!.
Cui Changjian couldn't help but ask himself, "Is this crazy and crazy monk really a respected and worshiped monk in the capital?" "Is this stupid following a monk, jumping and jumping, laughing and screaming, or the gentle and gentle ninth sister of his own family?"
This person was stupid when he first appeared
However, Qi Xuanhui was well-informed, so he didn't think so, folded his hands, bowed deeply, and said loudly: "Congratulations to the master for breaking through another layer of magic barriers." ”
When the master heard the silence, he sat cross-legged on the spot, folded his hands, closed his eyes and said softly, "Amitabha, my Buddha is compassionate, the Dharma is boundless, all living beings have Buddha nature, Buddha is all sentient beings, and all sentient beings are Buddhas." ”
After saying that, he made a meditation form, and there was no sound.
Look at him again at this moment, where is the crazy appearance of the gang?
I only feel that the master's treasure is solemn, his expression is full of compassion and pity, and the golden statue of the Buddha on the main hall is surprisingly godlike.
The stupid Cui Changjian, looking at the changes in front of him, suddenly understood what is called a virtuous monk and what is called boundless Buddhism.
He restrained the disrespectful idea just now, solemnly folded his hands, looked at Master Ran, bowed deeply, and recited softly in his mouth, "Amitabha." ”
Cui Wanqing looked at her third brother and smiled with relief, Cui Changjian obviously benefited, she was happy for her third brother's intelligence.
But at this moment, she felt that her right forearm was lightly touched by some hard object.
Turning her head, it was Qi Xuanhui, holding a few scriptures in his hand, and gently bumped into her.
Cui Wanqing, she just felt that she couldn't care about anything, even the objects in her hand were all thrown out, and a goddess scattered flowers on the spot.
This will be picked up and returned by Qi Xuanhui, and she remembers that she still has the scriptures in her hand.
She took it with a smile and thanked her, "I'm tired." ”
Knowing that the master realized this time, he didn't know when it was time to wake up, and the three of them didn't dare to disturb him, so they quietly went down the stairs and out of the bamboo gate.
Qi Xuanhui stretched out his hand to summon the little novice at the door, and whispered a whisper, and saw that he was chanting the Buddha with a happy face, sitting cross-legged on the ground, guarding the door for Master Ran.
Cui Wanqing was stunned, now there is no messenger again.
Inevitably, the three of them walked out a few more steps, found two or three great monks, and told the master about his decision.
It is necessary to let the disciples guard the Jialan Building and wait for the master to come out.
Qi Xuanhui had to live in Dacheng for two days, prayed for the queen mother, and copied the Amitabha Sutra to worship the Buddha.
So I only sent the Cui family brothers and sisters to the foot of the back mountain, and then stopped.
Seeing Cui Wanqing's swaying figure, with the help of the maid, she got into the carriage lightly.
Then I watched the carriage start slowly and began to move forward steadily.
Seeing the pedestrian drifting away and finally disappearing from sight, the corners of Qi Xuanhui's lips were slowly lowered.
With sweet memories in my heart, I slowly walked to the bamboo building in the middle of the mountain. (To be continued......)
