Volume 1 Taibai Dawn Chapter 26 Garan Temple
When I arrived at the official office of Jiangning Mansion, it was already the afternoon application, and it was also past the busiest stage of official business, Cao Yi handed over the post, but it was the identity of the Cao family, and after a while, a servant came out and led Cao Yi into a lobby.
Governor Yang was reviewing something on the desk, his demeanor was serious, and there was even a hidden majesty, which was quite different from the demeanor of the last time he was in the Jinling Poetry Club, at this time he heard footsteps, raised his head and squinted at Cao Yi, and Cao Yi stepped forward quickly: "Cao Yi to meet the prefect." ”
"Excuse me!" Yang Jue waved his hand, asked Cao Yi to sit down, and asked people to serve tea. After some entertainment, he spoke: "I am an official in the same dynasty as your father, and when he placed your mother and son in Jiangning City, he had already greeted me and took care of me in the future, but your kid has never come to me, and now that he is here, he must have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, just say anything directly, haha" Yang Jue let out a hearty laugh after speaking, and there was a sense of wanting more close relatives.
"Yang Gong Mingjian, the younger generation really has something to ask for this time" Then he told Mobao and the opening of the hotel in detail, and Yang Jue naturally agreed.
"No problem, I can write the inscription to you now, but as for the opening of the hotel, I will be dressed in civilian clothes and participate in a private capacity, and I will not stay too long, and I will be busy with official business after all......"
"This junior naturally knows that Yang Gonggui is a feudal official, and he can take time to stand up for the younger generation, and the younger generation is grateful.
"Haha, since it's 'too white drunk', then I'll accept it, but don't bring anything next time, the provincial people are talking." Yang Jue chuckled and said, since he tasted the Jinling Poetry Club a few days ago, he felt tasteless when he drank other wines at home these days, even if Cao Yi didn't send it over, he also planned to visit Mrs. Han in the next few days, and by the way, he asked Cao Yi to ask for something, and now Cao Yi sent it over by himself, how can there be any reason to refuse it.
"Yang Gong, this time the juniors came over and asked for something." Cao Yi drank a cup of tea, and when the time was almost right, he begged for it.
"Oh, just say something, don't hide it." Yang Jue squinted his eyes and said lightly, but he didn't blindly agree.
"Yang Gong is like this, the younger generation's drunken immortal building will open soon, and the scale of the original family winery is also a little small, so the younger generation wants to buy a piece of land in the middle of Niushou Mountain and Guanyin Mountain six or seven miles southwest of the south gate on the outskirts of Jiangning City, and use it as a winery to facilitate large-scale production in the future." Cao Yi took out the map and showed it to Governor Yang, which had already marked the location and scope of the land he wanted to buy.
"I thought it was something big, but it turned out to be like this. There is no problem with this, as far as I know, the land itself is relatively barren and not suitable for farming, so it has been idle there, since you want to, it doesn't matter if the whole land is sold to you, there are temples and Taoist temples on Niushou Mountain now, but there is no Buddhist palace on Guanyin Mountain, or even the Guanyin Mountain next to it is also sold to you, anyway, the price is not expensive, you can give a total of eight hundred taels of silver. In this way, tomorrow the government office will send someone to verify the specific land boundary and size, and you will also arrange for someone to accompany you, and after verification, you will go to the government office to pay the money and sign the land deed."
Rao is Cao Yi had already prepared in his heart, the price of barren land in remote areas on the outskirts of the city was not too expensive, but he really didn't expect it to be so cheap. I hurriedly expressed my gratitude at the moment, and after a while of greetings, I retired.
On the way back, Cao Yi was in a very good mood, and shouted "YES!" several times on the horse. Qingwen didn't know what Gongzi meant, and Qingwen didn't dare to ask.
When they arrived at home, Liu Baiqing and Red Sleeves hadn't come back yet, and they had nothing to do, so Cao Yi planned to read a book to kill time, so he casually pulled a book on the bookshelf, the title of which was "Luoyang Jialan".
It is a work that integrates history, geography, Buddhism, and literature, and it can be said that it is simple and simple, and the writing is beautiful, and it is considered a superior work from the perspective of literature and art. Tan Yun walked to the side and lit incense, but his little head turned around from time to time to peek at the book in Cao Yi's hand, wanting to see what Cao Yi was reading.
Cao Yi looked funny, and nodded Tan Yun's little head: "Tan Yun, what are you doing, you can read it directly if you want to, you can read the books here, why are you sneaky!" ”
Tan Yun covered his forehead, which was pointed by Cao Yi's fingers, and pouted, "Do you want to see what the son is reading?" Childe is so smart, he is known as the first genius in Jiangning City, if the slave maid writes down all the books that Childe usually reads, and then the slave and maid also read them carefully when they are free, then the slave and maid can also become a talented girl" Tan Yun looked like a matter of course, and said confidently.
Cao Yi couldn't help but laugh when he heard it, and was also a little infected by Tan Yun's innocence and cuteness, and said with a smile: "This is actually just someone else's note, reminiscing about the grand occasion of many Buddhist temples in Luoyang City at that time, but some of the stories in it are quite good, do you want to listen to them?" ”
"Okay, okay, Childe, wait a minute." Then Tan Yun brought a chair from the side, brought a pastry and fruit pot, poured hot tea for Cao Yi as if flattering, and then sat down and looked at Cao Yi, his eyes flashed, as if to say, 'Childe, you can start'. directly amused Cao Yi.
Cao Yi took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and said: "Well, okay, you can listen well, this story takes place in Luoyang City, the ancient capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, during the period of Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty, a general who defended the city was ordered to garrison Luoyang City, and met a local girl during his tenure.
"Ahh So fast? Tan Yun exclaimed, and then stuck out his tongue, "Childe, you continue to speak, I promise not to speak." ”
"Helplessly, good flowers don't bloom often, and good times don't always exist. The Northern Wei Dynasty came to attack the Song Dynasty at this time, and when the country was in danger, the general responded to the call of the imperial court and transferred to the border to fight...... The woman stood guard at the gate of the city and watched as the general sat in the saddle and departed without looking back...... The general's expedition lasted for several months, during which the Song Dynasty army was defeated and retreated, and Emperor Wen of Song beheaded two generals in a row. Later, the Northern Wei Dynasty attacked on all fronts and forcibly crossed the Yellow River, Emperor Wen of Song did not listen to the courtiers' words and launched a strong attack, and the imperial capital Luoyang City was finally broken by the Northern Wei Dynasty and fell into ruins. The bustling ancient capital, yesterday was still a forest of pagodas, pavilions and pavilions, singing and dancing, and a burst of vitality in laughter and laughter. In an instant, the dynasty has changed, the sword and sword, after the war, the lonely city is dilapidated and full of depression. The strong and majestic city gates of the past are also mottled. The lush ancient trees on both sides of the city gate were cut down by someone in the war, leaving only the old roots entrenched in the corners. In the past, the palace was full of guests, but now there are only ruins and weeds. ”
After saying this, Cao Yi picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and nodded the fruit plate on the table with his eyes, Tan Yun naturally knew what it meant, picked up a date with his little hand, and put it into Childe's mouth, "Childe say it quickly, what is the next story?"
"Next, in this corner of Luoyang City, there is a famous temple called Jialan Temple. In previous years, the light of the Buddha was also shining, there were many believers, and the incense was prosperous. Now it is the monk who goes to the temple empty, and the floating tower is broken. Then on the bluestone slab under the city gate, the woman sat there day after day, looking into the distance, waiting for the general's return. Whenever someone returned from the battlefield, they were full of hope to ask if they had seen the general and if there was any news of him, but there was no news of the general's victorious return. In the distance, the sound of the shepherd's flute was heard, and the sound was sad. The army was in chaos, the world was in turmoil, but the woman did not want to abandon the city, and still waited day by day, firmly believing that the general had promised her that she would return. As the days passed, the woman grew old, but the general did not return. The last woman cut her hair and became a nun and hid in the Garan Temple. ”
Later, the general finally came back, but there was no one to find her in the place where the woman lived, and the general came to the gate of the city at that time to remember, and an old man next to him told the general that there was once a woman who had been waiting here for her sweetheart to come back, and had waited for more than ten years, and now she has shaved her hair and become a nun in the Garan Temple. The general hurried over, but was told that he had arrived too late. The woman had fallen ill and died, and until she died, she was still reading the general's name, waiting for him to return. At this time, it rained heavily in the sky, and the general looked around, the capital of the country for which he fought was already dilapidated, the great rivers and mountains were trampled by the Northern Wei Dynasty, and even his beloved woman had died. He was disheartened and cut his hair as a monk, and since then he has always been accompanied by the ancient Buddha of the green light. ”
"Childe, why are you telling such a sad story...... Whining...... That woman was too pitiful...... Woo," Tan Yun said as he sobbed.
In order not to make Tan Yun cry too sadly, Cao Yi said: "There is actually a song in this story, Tan Yun wants me to teach you how to sing, and you can sing it to your son?" ”
"Okay, Childe, teach me quickly......"
