Chapter 17: It's over, it's time to get into the groove
"Queen Mother, the courtiers are still here, it's not good for you to complain like this." Lou Yiyi hesitated for a moment and said.
"You're not complaining." The Queen Mother glanced at Lou Yiyi.
"Lou Tingzhi is my father." Lou Yiyi was unconvinced.
"What about the mourning family or the queen mother, can't you say that he is a little princess?" The Queen Mother pretended to be serious.
"You are the Queen Mother, of course you can, whoever says no, I will be the first to object." Lou Yiyi immediately changed her tone and knelt up straight, "Queen Mother, if you have any opinions, just mention it, I will go back and tell my father immediately, if he doesn't change, I will ask my mother to beat her." β
"Alright, your little mouth is amazing." The Queen Mother smiled in her eyes and no longer scared Lou Yiyi. "I heard that the host of Wufang and you have been chatting for a long time in the back mountain today, and the mourning family is a little curious, what is the magic of your little girl, first appreciated by the emperor, and then favored by the host, you know, how many people who want to see him can't see him."
"Didn't talk about anything." Lou Yiyi knelt directly on the ground. "The courtier just asked the host a question, and the host is probably still thinking about it."
"Oh, what kind of problem can stump the host of Wufang?" The Queen Mother was even more curious.
Lou Yiyi told the Queen Mother about the afternoon's questions again.
Dowager:......
She is very regretful now, why ask, she didn't have to think about it if she didn't know, but now that she knows, she can't help but think, and she can't think of anything, so she still goes to copy the Buddhist scriptures.
"Ahem-" The Queen Mother clenched her fist and put it to her mouth and coughed a few times, and said calmly: "The mourning family already knows, you go back first." β
"The courtiers retired." Lou Yiyi withdrew from the Zen Monastery with a respectful face.
Outside the hospital, seeing Lou Yiyi come out safe and sound, Xia Jiangwan breathed a sigh of relief. I took a few steps forward and walked with her. "What is the Queen Mother looking for you?"
"Harm~" Lou Yiyi shook her head helplessly. "I left you by my side to do the maid's business, the whole palace knows, plus didn't the host of Wufang chat with me today? The Queen Mother was curious, so she left me to ask. β
"That's it, I thought it was a big deal." Xia Jiangwan's hanging heart finally let go.
"What do you mean by that?" Lou Yiyi turned her head and looked at Xia Jiangwan aggrievedly. "Isn't it a big deal that my good reputation has been ruined by you?"
"I haven't said anything yet, you're still wronged. Besides......" Seeing Lou Yiyi's begging look, Xia Jiangwan gritted his teeth and said. "When has your reputation been better? No matter how bad it is, it won't get there. β
"That's right." Lou Yiyi thought about it and nodded in agreement. "Fame is such a thing, and you get used to it."
Xia Jiangjuan: ......
Why can someone embody the cheekiness so vividly?
When the two returned to the Zen courtyard where they lived, it was already completely dark, Qing'er and Lin'er had already prepared vegetarian food, Bing'er and Jiang'er had prepared their beds respectively, and several people rested without much tossing.
Early the next morning......
No, it was the third pole of the sun, and Lou Yiyi and Xia Jiangwan got up.
After a hasty breakfast, Qing'er prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone and put it in front of the two.
"Qing'er, what are you going to do with these?" Lou Yiyi was bored lying on the stone table in the Zen courtyard, looking puzzled.
"Copy the Buddhist scriptures...... "Miss won't forget, Qing'er thought to herself." Yesterday, the Queen Mother arranged it, and every young lady must complete it...... Miss, what's wrong with you? β
Qing'er saw Lou Yiyi motionless in the middle of her words, and asked puzzled.
Xia Jiangwan on the side seemed to be frozen, stunned aside.
After a long time, I heard Lou Yiyi wail: "Ahh β
"There are two days left, and I want to copy a copy of the Buddhist scriptures......" Xia Jiangwan also looked desperate.
"Stop howling, miss." Bing'er and Qing'er glanced at each other helplessly, and persuaded: "If you delay for a while now, you will complete a little less." β
Glancing at Bing'er viciously, Lou Yiyi pursed her lips, picked up the pen and ink as if she were dead, and began to copy.
It's been a long time since I've experienced this feeling of crazy homework......
Seeing that Lou Yiyi had already started to write, Xia Jiangwan was not to be outdone, and hurriedly picked up the pen and ink and began to write hard, but the expression on his face was not so heroic and righteous......
Uh-
It would be much better.
The two of them copied until noon, and only wrote a few chapters, and the maids brought lunch before stopping.
"What kind of human suffering is thisβ" Lou Yiyi sighed as she ate.
Qing'er and Bing'er sorted out the Buddhist scriptures she had copied in the morning.
"Miss has already copied quite a few this morning." Qing'er comforted. "If you work hard for a while in the afternoon, you should be able to do half of it."
"Really?" Looking at the Buddhist scriptures full of dense words, Lou Yiyi responded weakly. "It's really killing me."
Xia Jiangwan copied much faster than Lou Yiyi, and almost half of a Buddhist scripture had been copied.
"Why are you so good?" Lou Yiyi's foot under the table gently kicked Xia Jiangwan.
"Of course." finally had one better than Lou Yiyi, Xia Jiangwan was a little proud. "I'm highly talented."
"I don't believe it." Lou Yiyi's face was full of suspicion. "It can't be that you are often punished by Lord Shangshu for copying books at home, right?"
As soon as the words fell, Xia Jiangwan's face immediately changed, and the legs under the table quickly kicked towards Lou Yiyi, but Lou Yiyi dodged.
"I can't kick ......" Lou Yiyi raised her eyebrows proudly at Xia Jiangwan.
Xia Jiangwan glared at Lou Yiyi viciously, gritted his teeth and said, "What nonsense are you talking about-tell the truth." β
"Poof-" Lou Yiyi squirted out a mouthful of rice. "It turned out to be true."
"Hey, what are you doing-" Xia Jiangwan's face was full of disgust. "I won't let people eat."
The noisy and noisy saw each other, and ushered in a peaceful time to copy books.
Lou Yiyi took a deep breath, calmed down her restless heart, and wrote on the paper one by one.
In the afternoon, the Zen monastery was very quiet, and a few birdsong took away the impetuousness around it.
The words on the paper are no longer hurried, unhurried, or slow, with a special rhythm. Lou Yiyi felt as if she had entered another spiritual world, and her heart was very peaceful.
She somewhat understands why so many people on TV series like to copy Buddhist scriptures, perhaps, it is not the Buddhist scriptures that are copied, but the state of mind.
"Miss, the host is here."
It took a long time for Qing'er's voice to break the silence.
Lou Yiyi slowly raised her head, her eyes were peaceful and peaceful.
"Please come in." She gently put down her pen and nodded at Qing'er with a smile.
"Miss?"
"Yiyi?"
This kind of Lou Yiyi made everyone on the side a little flustered.
"I'm fine, go and ask the host to come over, don't keep him waiting." Lou Yiyi shook her head calmly, still smiling peacefully.
"Oh." Qing'er trembled and led Wu Fang over.
Xia Jiangwan had doubts, saw that the host was there, moved his mouth, and finally sat quietly on the side without speaking.
As soon as Gokata came in, he felt a little strange in the atmosphere.
All the people in the courtyard were looking at Lou Yiyi.
"What is Xiaoyou doing, is there any disturbance from the old man?" Wu Fang paused for a moment and said to Lou Yiyi.
"Presiding." Lou Yiyi has no quarrel with the world. "The Queen Mother arranged some Buddhist scriptures and was just copying them."
noticed Lou Yiyi's state, expression, and tone, and realized that he was enlightened. Explained to everyone present:
"Xiaoyou should have entered a kind of Zen realm while copying Buddhist scriptures. Many of the monks in our monastery may not be able to enter this state for the rest of their lives. Wu Fang looked at Lou Yiyi with satisfaction. Xiaoyou is really a person with wise roots. β
"Thanks for the compliment." Lou Yiyi smiled and nodded slowly. She understands what the host said, in short, it's getting into the groove.
"I wonder what the host is here for?"
"Little friends should already know." Wu Fang turned around the Buddha beads in his hand in shame.
"I did guess one or two." Lou Yiyi nodded slowly, as if there was a transparent and wise old man living in his body, and his every move revealed calmness.
"Please also ask Xiaoyou for some advice." Wu Fang stood up and bowed to Lou Yiyi.
"'People can't step into the same river twice', I wonder if the host thinks this sentence is correct?" Lou Yiyi didn't sell it anymore, and asked straight to the point.
Wu Fang sat up straight and replied seriously: "At first, when Lao Wei first heard this sentence, he thought it was wrong, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was correct, and after thinking about it for a night, he didn't come to a conclusion. β
"In this world, everything is changing all the time." Lou Yiyi stood up, put her left hand in front of her, put her right hand behind her, looked straight ahead, and said calmly: "Nothing can stay the same all the time. If you look smaller, the flowers will wither, and the water droplets will disappear, and if you look bigger, the mountains can become valleys, and the flat land will become mountains. Everything changes where we can see or not. β
Glancing back at the contemplative Wufang, Lou Yiyi continued: "This is like a river, it has changed from the moment we stepped in. Human life is too short, from birth to death, we are also changing, and things in change are not changing on the same level, we call them 'relative stillness' and 'absolute motion'. β
"The old man is taught." Wu Fang clasped his hands together, got up and bowed to Lou Yiyi again. "Listening to Xiaoyou's words today, I know that the bottom of the well is shallow."
"Don't dare, don't dare." Lou Yiyi returned the same posture to Wu Fang.
"The old man has a request, I wonder if the little friend can answer it?" Wu Fang raised his head and looked at Lou Yiyi.
"Presiding, please." Lou Yiyi did not agree immediately.
"Xiaoyou has great wisdom in his heart, and the old man implored Xiaoyou to practice in this temple for a month and teach the disciples in the temple." Gokata's eyes were full of sincerity.
"This ......" A gust of wind blew and blew the wind chimes under the eaves, Lou Yiyi raised her eyes and looked over, and she already had the answer in her heart. I have a humble opinion in my heart, and I hope to discuss more with the host. β
