Volume 3 Pen Knife Spring and Autumn Chapter 377 Fu Wan'er's Origin

In fact, the reason why I am so familiar with this area of Daming Temple is entirely because of the relationship between our young lady. Yue'er walked ahead and said slowly.

"Miss Fu Wan'er?" Cao Yi asked in surprise, although he had guessed this reason before, and even thought that maybe it might be because of Chu Mingxuan's relationship, if it was the latter, then he would have to think carefully about his safety in Daming Temple.

If Chu Mingxuan and Daming Temple have a good relationship, then if a fierce conflict breaks out between the two of them today, it is unknown what role Daming Temple will play in the middle, but Cao Yi is sure that Daming Temple and himself are really not familiar at all, if they really choose one person to help, nine times out of ten it will be Chu Mingxuan. That's why he asked Liu Baiqing to pay attention to the route and structure in the temple just now, and when it was really time to run for his life, he wouldn't be stubborn, he would definitely choose a road with the least danger and the fastest way to escape from the temple.

However, what he didn't expect was that the reason why Yue'er was so familiar with interspersing and leading the way in the temple just now was because of Fu Wan'er's relationship. One of the six major Oiran in Yangzhou, the number one red card of the Tibetan Xiang Pavilion, would have an unpredictable relationship with Daming Temple, which really surprised him.

"Well, our miss, because our miss has lived here since she was a child......"

"What!?" Rao is Cao Yi is a human being in two lives, and he has seen all kinds of strange and surprising things, but when he heard what Yue'er said, he was still shocked and blurted out that Fu Wan'er grew up in Daming Temple, a temple when she was a child, which was indeed too unexpected for him. If it is in a Taoist temple or a nunnery, then Cao Yi can understand a little, but in a Buddhist temple, it is an ancient temple that has been inherited for hundreds of years......

Yue'er was obviously prepared for Cao Yi's reaction, turned her head and smiled at Cao Yi, and said softly: "My little lady did grow up here when she was a child, and she lived there until she was eight or nine years old. ”

"This ......" Cao Yi was stunned in place, the news was too shocking, and he still couldn't understand it.

"Cao Gongzi is not mainly from Yangzhou, so he doesn't know much about this matter, if he is a talented person in Yangzhou, he basically knows that my young lady grew up in Daming Temple when she was a child." Yue said with a smile in front.

"Oh? Miss Yue'er, can you tell me what other stories are there? ”

"Cao Gongzi, you should know that girls like us who enter the Qinglou are generally not from very good backgrounds, or orphans, and when my young lady was a baby, she didn't know who put her at the door of Daming Temple, and she was discovered by the little novice guarding the door, and immediately reported it to the abbot."

After Yue'er turned her head and said a word to Cao Yi, she continued to walk forward, saying as she walked: "Everyone can understand that the important places of Buddhism are generally unwilling to accept female dependents, and if a baby boy or a little boy is sent to the temple, he will generally be adopted as a monk." But girls...... At that time, some elders in the temple were thinking about sending the young lady away, for fear that it would affect the reputation of Daming Temple, and it would not be good to spread it. ”

After a pause, Yue'er, who was walking in front, continued: "However, at that time, the abbot Cihu Zen Master insisted on taking in the young lady, saying that all beings are equal, there is no distinction between boys and girls, and in his eyes it is all life, and at that time, Cihu Zen Master gave an example of the "Lengyan Sutra", saying, 'Guanyin said from the Buddha: If there is a female son who is eager to learn and become a monk, I will appear in front of him in the body of a bhikshuni, the body of a queen, the body of the king's wife, the body of a woman, and the body of a virgin. 'Since all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas advocate that all sentient beings have Buddha nature, and they pay attention to 'turning with each other' and 'following the minds of sentient beings, you should know the quantity.'"

Speaking of which, Cao Yi couldn't help but look at Yue'er a few more times, Yue'er was just Fu Wan'er's maid, although Fu Wan'er did grow up in Daming Temple since she was a child, saying that she was exposed to it since she was a child, and she could recite some Buddhist scriptures Cao Yi still felt normal, but Yue'er knew at a glance that it was Fu Wan'er who was matched to her after entering the Tibetan Fragrance Pavilion for what reason......

At that time, Fu Wan'er should have left Daming Temple a long time ago, and Yue'er can now casually say the words in the "Lengyan Sutra", although it is an example of what Zen Master Cihu once said, but Yue'er can repeat it word for word, at least it shows that the memory is very good, and it may even be the wisdom root of Buddhism, and it may be related to the Buddha.

"So the young lady was able to stay in the Daming Temple at the insistence of the Cihu Zen Master, because she was too young to eat anything, so the Cihu Zen Master insisted on feeding the young lady with rice cereal and the milk obtained from the farmers under the mountain, so that the young lady could survive."

"That'...... Later, how did your young lady get to the Tibetan Incense Pavilion...... Become one of the six major Oiran ...... in Yangzhou"

"I also heard the young lady talk about it, saying that when she was eight or nine years old, she was seen by Mother Li, the current owner of the Tibetan Incense Pavilion, that is, Li Yujing, the former Oiran of the Tibetan Fragrance Pavilion, when she came to Daming Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings. At that time, although the young lady was only eight or nine years old, she was already very beautiful, not to mention the beauty embryo, she was already a little beauty. Later, Li's mother asked Daming Temple, who was the little girl who was very familiar with all the monks and could run freely in the Buddhist temple. Yu'er said slowly as he led the way.

Hearing this, Cao Yi could almost imagine the development of the next story, it was nothing more than this Mother Li, who took a fancy to Fu Wan'er, and after negotiating with Daming Temple and even directly with the abbot of Cihu, she took Fu Wan'er away, as for what he said to the abbot of Cihu in the middle, it is unknown what he promised.

"But as for what Mother Li said to the abbot of Cihu at the beginning, I don't know, and my young lady didn't tell me much about this, in short, Miss followed Mother Li back to the Tibetan Fragrance Pavilion...... However, Miss is very special in the Tibetan Fragrance Pavilion, whether she is willing to be an Oiran or not, it seems that Miss is her own freedom, and even if she doesn't want to be it, she can be directly improper, Mother Li is good to Miss, just like her own daughter. Yue'er said happily.

Cao Yi was thoughtful, Yue'er's words had already pointed out a point, that is, although Fu Wan'er was the Oiran and the popular head card of the Tibetan Fragrance Pavilion, but her status in the Tibetan Fragrance Pavilion was special, her status was very high, and she had absolute freedom, what she wanted to do and what she didn't want to do was decided by herself, and no one could interfere, and the relationship between Mother Li and Fu Wan'er, the owner of the Hidden Fragrance Pavilion, was very good, like a mother and daughter, maybe this was the reason why the three of them negotiated between the abbot of Ci Hu, Fu Wan'er and Mother Li.

Leaving from Daming Temple, and then entering the Tibetan Incense Pavilion, according to the ideas of ordinary people, it seems that the living environment has become worse and the situation is even worse, but for Daming Temple and the abbot of Ci Hu, as Fu Wan'er grows older, her situation in Daming Temple has become embarrassing, even if the abbot of Ci Hu is profound in Buddhism and sees through everything, he must also put himself in the shoes of Daming Temple's reputation and reputation, after all, he is the abbot of Daming Temple, and sometimes he is in this position, he has to be constrained by this position.

It is difficult to say that at that time, Li's mother agreed to a series of conditions for the abbot of Cihu, and after obtaining Fu Wan'er's consent, she let Fu Wan'er leave Daming Temple and go to the Tibetan Fragrance Pavilion. However, regardless of the conditions that were originally discussed, judging from the current results, at least everyone is happy.

Fu Wan'er has obtained unimaginable freedom and privileges that other Oiran have, and she did not say that she had the slightest bad idea about Daming Temple and the abbot of Cihu who sent her to the Tibetan Incense Pavilion, as can be seen from the fact that she often returns to Daming Temple, and even puts the place of spring and peace talks in Daming Temple.

While Cao Yi and Yue'er were walking and talking, their group had already walked to the destination, a very quiet and elegant Zen courtyard, and before they got closer, they heard the beautiful sound of the pipa, and they didn't have to guess to know that it must be Fu Wan'er playing.

Yue'er also turned around at this time, and whispered to Cao Yi: "Young Master Cao, it's Miss who is playing, but in this courtyard, in addition to Miss and Young Master Chu, the abbot of Cihu is also there......"

Yue'er said this, in fact, it was also out of kindness, as Fu Wan'er's personal maid, she naturally knew the contradictions and conflicts between Cao Yi and Chu Mingxuan, she now reminded Cao Yi that the abbot of the Cihu in the courtyard is also there, in fact, Cao Yi pays attention to his emotions, don't be angry as soon as he enters the courtyard, Daming Temple is the largest and most famous Buddhist temple in Yangzhou, the incense has always been very strong, and the influence in Yangzhou is still very great, the abbot of Cihu is also a high-ranking monk, and he also has a high prestige among the people. So it's better not to offend or leave any bad impression in front of him.

Cao Yi nodded clearly, showed a grateful look at Yue'er, and said, "Thank you, Miss Yue'er, for reminding you, now you can lead us in!" ”
