Buddhism was inherited in Tianzhu, but the monks in the Central Plains did not live the kind of begging life that was popular among the monks in Tianzhu.

Most of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty believed in Buddhism, and since the previous dynasty, the imperial court vigorously supported Buddhist monasteries, gave monasteries, supported monks, and granted land and privileges, which was very common.

Over the years, the temples of the Great Zhou Dynasty were very wealthy.

Almost every big temple has a group of tenant farmers who cultivate the land for the temple, and the temple will not only rent out land, courtyards, Buddhist scriptures, etc., but also lend money to the outside world and collect profits.

In this way, there was a situation where the Buddha and the people competed with the court for profit, and it is no wonder that the people would have a saying that "the wealth of the world is ten, and the Buddha accounts for seven." ”

Dongsheng was originally cultivated as the master's personal servant, this kind of person is very clever and eloquent.

As he said this, the inexplicable nervousness that he was originally standing in front of Xiao Jingxi subsided a lot, and his speech became more and more sensitive: "...... The small one thought that it was better for the Yanbei Wangfu to take the lead in reorganizing the army before the official promulgation of the imperial court's disarmament order, and let some people 'unload their armor and return to the field'. Anyway, we have so many temples in Yanbei, and we are not afraid that we will not be able to raise these soldiers who can pick and resist. ”

Xiao Jingxi looked at him with some amusement and said, "Aren't you afraid of the Buddha's condemnation?" ”

When Dongsheng heard this, he said: "They are all believers under the Buddha's seat, and its old people will not favor one over the other!" ”

Xiao Jingxi couldn't help but chuckle.

Dong Sheng looked at him, with some nervousness in his eyes: "Second son Xiao, do you think it's feasible?" ”

Xiao Jingxi's eyes narrowed slightly, and his slender and white fingers tapped lightly on the chessboard in front of him, and Dongsheng's heart also followed.

I saw Xiao Jingxi suddenly smiled faintly: "Although it is a little whimsical...... However, it is not entirely impossible to deploy it in earnest. ”

Dongsheng's eyes lit up.

"You came up with it yourself?" Xiao Jingxi asked casually.

Dongsheng glanced at Xiao Jingxi, lowered his head and said, "It's a little idea." ”

He couldn't get Miss Cousin involved.

Xiao Jingxi tilted his head slightly, his playful gaze swept over him, and his soft smile seemed to have some incomprehensible meaning like the warm winter sun, and he said slowly: "In this case, then I am afraid that you will not be able to return to your master's side to serve in the future." ”

Dong Sheng's face turned pale when he heard this, and he glanced at Xiao Jingxi. He said with some uncertainty: "What does Xiao Ergongzi mean?" ”

Xiao Jingxi smiled and said indifferently: "Since you have the courage to offer advice to me, you will naturally be the person next to me in the future." Isn't this the truth that loyal ministers don't serve the two masters? ”

Dongsheng was silent for a moment, then resolutely bowed his head, knelt down on one knee in front of Xiao Jingxi, and said respectfully: "Little Dongsheng, I have seen the master. ”

He had already made up his mind to die. Now this result is the best, at least the master will not be implicated by him again, and his life has not been lost. It's just that when he thinks of his master Li Tianyou, who has served him for so many years, he is still a little gloomy in his heart.

Xiao Jingxi was surprised by his decisiveness, and then smiled slightly. Said softly: "Go back and say goodbye to your master, and come to congratulate the little guy next to me tomorrow." ”

Dongsheng obediently answered yes and retreated respectfully.

Thunderstorms outside the window. The air was filled with the scent of earth and grass.

Dongsheng walked into the rain without hesitation, the raindrops hit his head and face, he seemed to be unnoticed, and his not strong back was firm and decisive, and soon disappeared from sight.

"Someone." Xiao Jingxi said lightly.

His voice was not loud, and it was easy to be drowned out by the sound of rain outside, but after a while, the little servant Tonghe pushed the door and walked in: "Childe, what do you command?" ”

Xiao Jingxi picked up the letter that Dongsheng had put on the pit table before. Without looking at it, he handed it to Tonghe, who hurriedly bowed down and took it.

"Give it to Tongde and let him deal with it." Xiao Jingxi's casual voice sounded in the room.

"Yes." Tonghe answered. Seeing that Xiao Jingxi had no other instructions, he retreated again.

Xiao Jingxi turned his head and looked out the window quietly, his dark eyes were as dark as ink jade, and there were emotions that others couldn't understand.

After Dongsheng came out of Xiao Jingxi's courtyard. But he didn't go back immediately, but went to the White Dragon Temple first.

Ren Yaoqi happened to finish dinner at that time, and he and Ren Yaohua sat in the room in the west wing and drank tea silently.

When he heard that the eldest lady sent to guard the door, Uncle Dao, sent someone to find the fifth lady, Ren Yaoqi immediately thought that there was news from the possible Dongsheng.

She put down the tea bowl and instructed the mother-in-law who came in to report, "Take him to the south room in front, and I will be there in a moment." ”

Ren Yaohua looked at Ren Yaoqi and said, "What did you entrust him to do for you?" Is there no one around you yourself? ”

Ren Yaochi shook his head: "It's not a big deal, I just want him to help me find some gadgets, it's convenient for him outside, and those people at home may not be able to buy what I want." I'll go back as soon as I go. ”

Ren Yaohua didn't care about her anymore,

Ren Yaochi took two maids along the corridor and walked to the south room, where there were originally a few mothers-in-law on duty, and when they saw Ren Yaochi coming in, they hurriedly got up and saluted, and retreated.

Dongsheng's whole body was soaked, but he didn't care, and when he came up to salute, Ren Yaoqi was almost splashed by the water on his sleeve.

sent Apple and Mulberry to guard the door, and Ren Yaochi motioned for Dongsheng to go with her to talk inside.

When you go out, you don't have many people with you, so you don't have so many cumbersome rules.

"Have you seen Xiao Jingxi?" Ren Yaoqi looked at his embarrassed appearance and asked bluntly.

Dong Sheng nodded silently: "My subordinate has said it according to what you said, and he has promised to help us cover up this matter." ”

Ren Yaoqi's hanging heart finally fell to the ground, and he couldn't help but have some joy on his face: "He thinks it's feasible?" ”

When Ren Yaochi told Dongsheng about her thoughts, she wasn't sure if the plan was feasible, she was just gambling.

Dong Sheng nodded: "It is not impossible for Xiao Er Gongzi to say that it is not impossible to deploy carefully. ”

Ren Yaoqi also found that Dongsheng's expression was a little wrong, and she said keenly: "What else is not going well?" ”

Dongsheng shook his head and said with a gloomy expression: "There is nothing that goes wrong, but...... I can't serve by the master's side in the future, and Xiao Ergongzi wants me to follow him in the future. ”

Ren Yaoqi was stunned when he heard this, and said a little strangely: "You want to be Xiao Jingxi's entourage?" ”

Dongsheng still nodded: "He seems to mean that." He asked me who had come up with the plan, and I said that I had come up with it, as we had said before, and he said that I could no longer serve by my master's side. ”

Ren Yaochi thought for a while and sighed lightly: "That's better than losing your life." Uncle's ......"

Dong Sheng pursed his lips: "This matter was originally caused by me, and now that it has been resolved, I don't want the master to bother." Fifth Miss, can you not mention this matter to the masters? Just let me die. Originally, I was just a small guy next to my master, and I only had some work to serve people, and my kung fu was poor, and without me, there would be no change around my master. ”

Ren Yaoqi was silent when he heard this.

In the previous life, Dongsheng left without a sound, and in this life, he went to Xiao Jingxi's side, and he didn't know what the situation was in the previous life.

She knew that most of these people in her grandfather's family had not signed a deed of sale, so they were free to stay, but they would not easily deviate.

"Are you going back and say goodbye to them?" Ren Yaochi asked.

Dongsheng nodded: "I still have to kowtow to the master." I can't be by his side anymore, I have to ...... Always say something. Saying this, Dongsheng, the big man, suddenly choked up.

He was also a little embarrassed, and covered his face with his sleeve for a while to recover.

Ren Yaoqi didn't know what to say, it stands to reason that it is better to serve in front of the second prince of Yanbei than to follow Li Tianyou. However, Dongsheng's group of people is different, many of them have lived to dedicate the palace since they were born.

It's just that Ren Yaochi couldn't understand why Xiao Jingxi had to ask Dongsheng to his side. It was impossible for him not to know the extent of their loyalty to the Xian Palace.

Dong Sheng rubbed his face with both hands: "Miss Cousin, take care, my subordinates have retired." ”

Ren Yaochi nodded, originally she wanted to say that if there was any progress on Xiao Jingxi's side about the matter of the Tibetan army in the temple, she would talk to her, but when she thought that she would be Xiao Jingxi's person after Dongsheng, and the most taboo thing for the master was that the people below were unfaithful to her, so she didn't say it.

If Xiao Jingxi really adopts her opinion, she will always find movement.

After all, that method is just a trick, and it can't really hide it from everyone.

Dongsheng retreated.

Ren Yaoqi also walked out of the south room, and happened to meet Qiu Yun and Yun Wenfang who walked under the eaves.

When Dongsheng came out, he greeted them, hurriedly saluted, and then rushed into the rain again and walked away.

Qiu Yun looked at Dongsheng's back and touched his chin and smiled: "Where is this the little guy from?" ”

Ren Yaoqi said: "It was my uncle who asked me to tell my mother and ask the people around him to come and spread the word." Where are cousins and Wen Gongzi going? ”

Qiu Yun glanced at Yun Wenfang, and replied with a smile: "I heard that the second son of the Xiao family is recuperating around here, and Zishu is about to take me to visit." Oh, the third cousin goes too, we really wait for him here. ”

As he was saying this, he saw Ren Yijun coming from under the eaves of the east chamber, followed by a little guy who took a thick cloak and chased after him while persuading.

For people like Xiao Jingxi, most people want to get acquainted, and even Ren Yijun is no exception.

"But he's rarely seen outsiders, so don't get your hopes up. Speaking of which, I haven't met him a few times. Yunwen said lazily.
