84. Great wisdom

The tension of the previous dynasty did not seem to affect the peace in the Hanlin courtyard. Miao Fan and Zhou Tao have always been responsible for repairing books and writing history, so they often go in and out of the library, which has a lot of collections, and even has a single Sanskrit scripture, so Miao Fan almost plunged into the library and took paper and pen to copy it every day.

"Master, Master!"

Zhou Tao rushed into the library from the outside, and ran to Miao Fan, who was sitting in the corner, his eyebrows fluttering and triumphant: "Guess what good things I brought you?" ”

Miao Fan was copying the scriptures, and he didn't raise his head when he heard the words: "What? ”

"This one you copied is worthless compared to what I held." Zhou Tao carefully took out a roll of bamboo slips from behind him and sent it to Miao Fan like a treasure: "The Sanskrit version of "The Great Wisdom Treatise"! ”

Miao Fan stared at the broken bamboo slip for a long time, then sighed slightly, put down the ink pen, and then opened it: "Where did it come from?" ”

Zhou Tao smiled and didn't answer, but said: "Last time I heard Master say that the "Treatise on Great Wisdom" was introduced to the Central Plains and lost the original Sanskrit text, and now all the translations that have been handed down are defects. After listening to this, I asked around, and finally I found the Sanskrit version of the "Treatise on Great Wisdom". How is Master? Are you happy? ”

Facing Zhou Tao's expression similar to that of a pug sticking out his tongue to please his master, Miao Fan still had a wooden face and asked, "Do you know Sanskrit?" ”

Zhou Tao was waiting for him to smile and praise himself, but when he was asked like this, he shook his head in a daze: "I don't understand." ”

"Hmm." Miao Fan nodded clearly, and then didn't say anything, just put away the bamboo slips and put them aside, picked up the pen and began to transcribe again.

Zhou Tao frowned, leaned over and said, "Why are you unhappy?" ”

"Not upset." Miao Fan said lightly.

"That's not a joy either!" Zhou Tao was so angry that he brushed off the pen and paper, and had to stuff the bamboo slips into Miao Fan's hand, "I gave you something, and if you don't thank you, it will all be counted as my filial piety to the master as an apprentice...... But you don't even look at it, you do this, you ...... like this It just left me behind! Abuse my mind! ”

Miao Fan raised his eyes helplessly, staring at his puffed face, and raised his eyebrows: "Abandon it?" ”

Zhou Tao met his clear eyes, his cheeks were slightly hot, and he lowered his eyes weakly: "I...... I mean you don't take what I give you as if you were doing it, and throw it away......"

Miao Fan sighed slightly: "I will teach you Sanskrit from tomorrow." ”

“…… Yes? Zhou Tao was taken aback and scratched his head, "What are you doing?" ”

Miao Fan smiled lightly: "If I don't teach you something, won't I live up to the title of 'Master'?" ”

Zhou Tao was overjoyed, but felt that this was not enough, and said in a low voice: "What is there to learn in Sanskrit, I don't want to learn it...... In fact, as long as you follow the master and serve around, the disciple feels very good. ”

"Teach you nothing else, at least so that you will no longer be deceived." Miao Fan shook his head, pointed to the bamboo slip and said, "This volume of scriptures is fake. ”

Zhou Tao was speechless: "Fake?!" Impossible! I spent two thousand taels on it! After blurting out the words, he quickly covered his mouth, looking annoyed.

The number of two thousand taels also shocked Miao Fan: "Where did you buy it?" ”

"It was given to me by a high-ranking monk." Zhou Tao paced back and forth in the house with his hands behind his back, "I met him on the street, and he looked kind, not like a bad person." He said that I have the wisdom root of the Buddha, and he has some classics that he wants to give to the destined people, I thought that maybe there is a sutra that you like, so I followed him, and then I found this Sanskrit sutra in his ruined temple, and I asked him what the sutra was, and he told me that it was "The Great Wisdom Treatise". ”

Miao Fan asked, "So you bought it?" ”

Zhou Tao shook his head regretfully: "No, I asked him to sell it to me, but he refused to sell it, and only said that he would give it to someone who was destined to take it and let me take it without taking a penny." I saw that the temple was in tatters and there was no incense, and I thought he was a good monk, so I donated some merit money...... Two thousand taels. ”

Hearing this, Miao Fan smiled dumbly: "You have been deceived, this is not "The Theory of Great Wisdom". In fact, the Wisdom Theory was introduced to the Central Plains and was translated by Master Kumarosh of the Qiuzi Kingdom, but no one knows when and where he obtained the original Sanskrit text, nor who the author of the Sanskrit text is...... Some people say that perhaps Kumarosh wrote the treatise on great wisdom, but it is only because his translations are all classics that others regard this original book as one of the translations. ”

Zhou Tao stomped his feet angrily: "The hateful old bald donkey dares to lie to me!" See if I don't pull him out and peel and cramp! ”

Miao Fan slanted, and his voice contained a warning: "Hugh has to speak ill of you." ”

Zhou Tao couldn't wait to swallow his tongue, and regretted that he was dizzy just now, and actually said the word "bald donkey" in front of Miao Fan! He hurriedly slapped himself in the mouth: "It's wrong! It's a fool who can't complain about others, that old bald ...... Monk, I won't trouble him. ”

"Although this is not a treatise on wisdom, it is also one of the Buddhist classics, and it is just right for you to learn Sanskrit and use this book." Miao Fan handed the bamboo slip back to Zhou Tao, "There are six translations of this scripture, you will benefit greatly from learning Sanskrit to read the original first and then the translation." ”

Zhou Tao held the heavy bamboo slips, as if he saw the two thousand taels of silver from the white flowers, and he endured the pain of the flesh: "...... Good. ”

"It's getting late, I'm going home." Miao Fan looked up at the sky through the window, packed up the pen and paper, and left the library.

Zhou Tao hurriedly followed, sent him to the door as usual, and then went home.

Before leaving, Zhou Tao glanced at the bamboo slips in his pocket, and his heart was still resentful, but suddenly he remembered something and called Miao Fan.

"Master, that's not right, how does that old monk know that I want to find the Great Wisdom Theory? I didn't tell him, I didn't tell anyone else, he couldn't have set up a game to lie to me in the morning. Zhou Tao scratched his ears and didn't understand, "Could it be that he doesn't understand Sanskrit either, and he also mistakenly thinks that this is a theory of wisdom and that everything is a coincidence?" ”

"There are so many coincidences in the world. If you want to find out, you might as well go to that temple again and see if you can find someone. Miao Fan stood inside the door, turned his eyes back, and had a helpless smile on his face, "Actually, it is not the old monk who set up the situation, but someone else." ”

"A guy who knows you and me and likes to deceive people."

Zhou Tao suddenly realized, gritted his teeth and was about to roll up his sleeves and rush into the door to settle accounts with the person behind the scenes, but Miao Fan had already "slammed" the door to death.

When Miao Fan entered the house, he saw a room full of cloth, which was simply piled up like a mountain, and Qianqian was sitting in the middle of the "surrounded by mountains", playing with scissors and cutting cloth. At least that seems to him.

"Lady." He was blocked by a few pieces of cloth, so he had to stand two or three paces away and call out to her.

The scissors in Qianqian's hand hissed across the cloth, she seemed to be in a good mood, and spoke in a brisk tone: "Xianggong, you're back!" ”

"Hmm." Miao Fan removed a few pieces of cloth, and finally came to her side smoothly and sat down next to her, "Why do you buy so many cloths?" ”

Qianqian stared at the strip of cloth in his hand and took it for granted: "Make clothes." ”

Miao Fan smiled dumbly: "So much? I can't do it for the whole family. ”

"I hate it, it seems to be broken...... Forget it, don't do it, re-cut. Qianqian threw away the palm-sized cloth in his hand and instructed Miao Fan, "Xianggong bring the green cloth." ”

Miao Fan brought the cloth, unfolded the cloth with her, watched her cut it into small pieces, and couldn't help asking, "It's too small, right...... Are you going to make it all into handkerchiefs? ”

Qianqian smiled: "I won't tell you." ”

She has been a little mysterious these days, and Miao Fan feels that she seems to be hiding a secret, but it is not like a secret, but more like a good thing to be happy about, but she has not said it to share it with him for the time being.

Miao Fan didn't have the temperament to get to the bottom of it, so he didn't ask much, looked around the room, and sighed: "The money to buy these things...... Are you lying again? ”

"yes!" Unexpectedly, Qianqian readily admitted this time, and even took the initiative to confess: "Two thousand taels, I divided five hundred taels from others, and I got one thousand and five." ”

Miao Fan's face straightened, and he called her in a long voice: "Qianqian-"

"Don't want me to give my money back, I deserve it." Qianqian held her face and smiled, "Zhou Tao is your apprentice, I am his master, and the apprentice is filial to his wife, which is justified." ”

"Then you shouldn't lie to him......"

Qianqian Nunu mouthed: "I didn't force him to buy it, the scriptures were given to him for free, Uncle Lu wrote very hard, and he had to imitate the handwriting of the first Qin, and he had to make the bamboo slips old...... Do you think this is easy? It was he who volunteered to donate money to the temple, and this is a matter of accumulating merit, and if you ask him to take the money back, won't it ruin his merit? Do you want him to go to eighteen floors of hell when he dies? ”

said that Miao Fan couldn't talk about her, he said: "Since it is the money donated to the temple, what are you going to do with it?" ”

"I didn't take it all, I donated five hundred taels, and I also accumulated merit!" Qianqian was not ashamed, "And Zhou Tao follows you to practice Buddhism, filial piety to me is equivalent to filial piety to you, filial piety to you is equivalent to filial piety to the Buddha, in this way, he is really a devout Buddhist disciple!" ”

"You ......" Miao Fan completely bowed to her fallacies, smiled and put his arm around her shoulder, and said in a tone of love and hate, "When will you stop being so naughty." ”

Qianqian replied: "It's okay when you stop being so stupid!" ”

He smiled and looked down for her lips, only to be pushed away by her.

"No, no, no!" Qianqian pushed him far away, looking jealous, "Today you sleep in the study, no, it should be that you will sleep in the study in the future." ”

Miao Fan was stunned: "For what?" ”

"Because-" Qianqian's eyes rolled, bent down to pick up the cloth on the ground, and said confidently: "Xiaohe and I are going to make clothes, and you are not allowed to go back to sleep until you finish it!" ”

“……”

When the news of Zhou Xiang's impeachment by Kong Xiang, the secretary of Dali Temple, reached the Hanlin Academy, the imperial court also sent another person to select this group of Jinshi from the Hanlin Academy to serve in various ministries.

Miao Fan heard about Zhou Xiang, and it had nothing to do with him, but when he saw Zhou Tao, he still said something about it.

Zhou Tao's indifferent expression: "Every year, there are more people who impeach my father, so one or two clowns don't have to take it to heart." Dali Temple is such a good yamen, by Kong Xiang's nest waste made into such a position that is not up or down, I would have removed him a long time ago, that is, my father did not move him because of the old feelings, otherwise he just had to tell the truth in front of the emperor, Kong Xiang He can still jump? It's okay now, we won't trouble him, but he will send it to the door himself, Master, you wait and see, this time the black yarn hat surnamed Kong will definitely not be able to keep it. ”

Miao Fan pondered: "Dali Temple is in charge of the country's prison, Dali Temple Qing has been ranked in Jiuqing since ancient times, which can be described as equal power, and Master Confucius acts like this...... Maybe there's something really going on? ”

Zhou Tao didn't care what he said, but asked, "Master, do you like that ministry in the imperial court?" Otherwise, we won't go anywhere, so let's stay in Hanlin Academy. ”

Miao Fan shook his head: "This time it was the adults who chose us, not us." ”

"Actually, I can go to ......"

Zhou Tao was only halfway through his words when he was interrupted by someone from outside, saying that someone wanted to see the two of them by name.

Zhou Tao was a little sullen: "Most of them are people sent by my father, I don't know where to go, don't be a ...... like the military department."

It turned out to be Zhan Liantai.

His appearance is still meticulous, but there is a friendly smile in his eyebrows, which makes Zhou Tao breathe a sigh of relief.

"I've seen you, sir." Zhou Tao saluted him, and he raised his hand and said, "No need to be polite, this is the Hanlin Academy, and we will be colleagues in the future." After speaking, he looked sideways at Miao Fan, "Are you still used to it?" ”

Miao Fan nodded: "Everything is fine." ”

Zhan Liantai smiled and said straight to the point: "Now I have an important case in my hand, and it is said that the dragon and the crouching tiger are hidden in the new science and technology jinshi, so I have the courage to ask the saint for two people to go to me to assist in the investigation of the case." Would you like to come to the Metropolitan Procuratorate? ”

"Of course." Zhou Tao was the first to reply, and he was naturally relieved to follow Zhan Liantai, but he didn't know Miao Fan......

He looked at Miao Fan and was about to move his feelings and reason with him, but before he could speak, Miao Fan had already promised Zhan Liantai: "Okay." ”

This answer was extremely satisfying to the other two.

After Zhou Tao was overjoyed, he couldn't help but wonder: "Sir, what kind of case is it?" ”

"I'm sure you've heard of it." Zhan Liantai said, "It is the case of the impeachment of Xiang Ye by Lord Kong of Dali Temple, there is a decree in the sage, this case involves the cabinet and Dali Temple, and the Criminal Department is under the jurisdiction of Xiang Ye, so it is inconvenient to interfere." So it was handed over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for investigation. ”

Zhou Tao was slightly surprised: "Check my father?" Then I'm ......"

"It doesn't matter." Zhan Liantai patted him on the shoulder, "I mentioned this matter to the Holy Lord, and the Holy Lord said that the Lu family has clouds in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the virtuous do not avoid relatives and enemies, although the person involved in the case is your father, but I believe that Tao'er You will definitely deal with it impartially, right?" ”

Zhou Tao did not hesitate and nodded solemnly.

The author has something to say: come up with the lid on the top of the pot to update ......
