14. Deserted Garden

The fourth lady and Shi Yuanwai said: "When I was young, I can read and write, I mean to find him a teacher to read, if he teaches well, he can continue to teach Changfeng in the future, if he doesn't teach well, he can change, just use Shi Qi to do experiments, and choose a good teacher for Changfeng in the future." Although Shi Yuanwai thinks that Shi Qi is still young, the four of them are reasonable, Shi Songshan is because the teacher he chose since he was a child is not good, and the discipline is not strict.

Shi Yuanwai said: "The temple has been repaired, I have also been to see, the place inside is big, it is a good place to go, and when the children are older, they can go there to study, not only quiet, but also less disturbing." I'm going to go out and invite some high-ranking people to move in recently, and I just happened to visit the teacher, and we can't think of a good gentleman here. The fourth lady said: "Xiaoqi is the reason why I stayed in your house, I can't let him live in the temple at a young age, you don't think about this, Niu Lixin's house is near there, if you can't accommodate him, I have to find another way." ”

Shi Yuanwai smiled and said: "Madame thinks too much, if you don't want to, of course I won't let him go, okay, just teach in the yard next to you, but you are like a flower, there are many things at home, I am afraid that outsiders will have thoughts about you." The fourth lady said, "If I have an outside heart, you can't see it, okay, don't say these boundless words, when will you go out?" But for the sake of the people, please ask a few reliable masters, the mountains here are good, the water is good, the incense should not be bad, it is a good place to practice. ”

Hearing that Shi Yuanwai was going out to visit friends, Shi Songshan was inexplicably excited, he made a new appointment with Niu Li, and they would go to his house for dinner after Shi Yuanwai went out. In order to please the fourth lady, Shi Songshan often asked the family to take Shi Qi to play, he was young, showed extremely strong curiosity, sometimes Niu Lixin took him to play with small animals, he did not show a little fear. Niu Lixin sometimes in order to tease him, will inadvertently teach him the skills of running, chasing, and the flexibility of climbing trees, the little guy does a good job, sometimes he does not go up the mountain for a few days, he will also pester the fourth lady, let her go to find Shi Songshan to take him up.

Shi Yuanwai finally went out, this time it was different from before, he brought the housekeeper with him, and taught Shi Songshan at home. Before he went out, he said to Shi Songshan: "I have observed, your performance in the process of repairing the temple did not disappoint me, I am also old, sooner or later the family will have to pay, I will go out for a month this time, and the affairs of the family should be handled in a measured manner, but don't find out that you have misbehaved after I come back." If you have something to discuss, don't go into other rooms, your third mother and fourth mother are young, don't cause gossip, the surrounding villagers are the basis for our family's survival, we can't let them have the idea of wandering, they are all gone, which one do we count on? ”

Shi Songshan said: "Dad, don't worry, I will handle things like you at home, go early and return early." Don't look for too many monks, I inquired, we also have a lot of people here who want to become monks, just a few leaders to move in. On the third day after Shi Yuan left, according to the agreement, Shi Songshan came to Mei Yaoming with the general family, Shi Caishuang had already prepared the meat, and everyone sat together to drink Shi Songshan's own wine.

There is no woman more beautiful than you can't think of, no matter how Shi Songshan looks at Shi Caishuang, it makes his eyes not want to leave, whether she is wearing coarse cloth clothes or old linen cloth for cooking at home. After a few glasses of old wine, Matsuyama said: "Lixin, we have already learned your strength, no one will dare to get along with you in the future, I think you might as well stop hunting, come to my house and be a steward for me, the old butler is my father's person, this time he also let him take out, you can be a housekeeper in the future, no better than you go out in the wind and rain." ”

Niu Lixin looked at Mei Yaoming, Shi Caishuang took over, she said: "Young Master Shi, my man has been wild since he was a child, and he can't wait for people, and he is not suitable when he arrives at the house, you better find another suitable one, thank you for your kindness." She didn't say that her man's man could deal with beasts, but not with people, she could read his intentions from Shi Songshan's eyes, which was to let the two of them come to the mansion again to be his subordinates, and at that time he had time and opportunity.

Shi Songshan didn't dare not listen to his father's advice, not to mention that even if he had a seizure, he was not sure to take advantage, so he had to drink for a while and take Shi Qi down the mountain. When he sent Shi Qi to the courtyard of the fourth lady, his two eyes would not turn because of too much wine, and he looked straight at the fourth lady for a while. When the master comes back, I want him to clean you up, and take the young master back to drink some water and rest. ”

Everyone didn't see that the fourth lady was angry, and after listening to her words, they wanted to pull the young master out, Shi Songshan said: "You go out, I have something to say to the fourth lady." The group looked at the fourth lady, and the fourth lady said, "He has drunk too much, and when he has something to say, come when he is sober, take him away quickly." The fourth lady watched Shi Songshan go out, although she didn't contribute, she was still a little out of breath, she knew that the long wind in her arms was Shi Songshan's heart disease, if he drank too much one day, maybe he could say it, he was not afraid to do it, he was too afraid to say it.

Early the next morning, the fourth lady asked the maid in the courtyard to call Shi Songshan to the living room, and she let the people on the side disperse and said: "You can't drink too much in the future, let alone come to my courtyard casually, you are still young, and the old man is not in good health, you can't be angry with him." I know what is in your heart, if you force me and Changfeng to leave this house, you won't have a chance to see the three of us in the future, Niu Lixin has the ability to take us away. ”

Shi Songshan looked at her, and was overjoyed in his heart, the fourth lady was equivalent to admitting that Changfeng was his, and he said excitedly: "Siniang, don't worry, if you don't dare in the future, I will listen to you." Then he whispered: "When the master is a hundred years later, I will open another mansion for you, and then you will be the master and I will be the steward." The fourth lady ignored him and went out of the living room to go back, leaving Matsuyama stunned.

When the staff went out for a short time, a friend introduced that there was a great monk named Yun Chi in Youfang, who was a master of the Tao who was rich in five cars, and had always wanted to find a quiet place to practice. After being introduced by a friend, he saw Yun Chi, and the other party wanted to see the location and conditions, so he invited him.

The mountain bones are straight, the mountains are dense, ****, vertical, there are birds calling, there are beasts running, Yun Chi was stunned, this is exactly the place he wanted to find, but the temple was nameless, when the staff asked him to give one, he thought for a while and said: "Then call it Lin Qian Temple, you see, how good the surrounding forests are." "When the staff tasted the name for a while, I felt that the other party was not in vain, and the name was really good.

The two sides discussed the ceremony of opening the temple again, and that night, Yun Chi insisted on practicing in the temple and did not enter the mansion to disturb. Shi Yuanwai took him to Mei Yaoming's residence and asked Niu Li's new family to take care of Yun Chi's recent meal, because he was a vegetarian, Shi Yuanwai arranged for someone to send him as soon as possible. That night, Shi Yuanwai and the fourth lady said: "I haven't found the teacher for a while, but I have already told my friends, and if there is a suitable one, I will tell me immediately, nothing happened at home, right?" ”

The fourth lady said, "If something happens, you won't know?" By the way, Shi Songshan drank too much wine at a time, and he must come to my courtyard to tease Changfeng, and the next day he sobered up and asked me to call the living room to give you a lesson. Shi Yuanwai said: "After I left, the home was handed over to him, you are really bold enough, what does he tease his own brother, men and women can't see each other, but you are his fourth mother, what are you afraid of?" The fourth lady stopped talking, and if she said too much, she would be able to draw snakes, so she simply waited for the master directly.

Mei Yaoming was very happy to accompany Yun Chi to dinner, and finally someone spoke, Yun Chi found out that he was not a rough man in the village after a conversation with him, Yun Chi asked: "Dare to ask Mr. is not a local?" Have you read a lot of books before? Mei Yaoming looked at him and said, "Don't hide it from the Taoist, I came here to avoid trouble, and I was not a local before." Yun Chi said: "Old Na is too mouthful, but is Mr.'s leg injury new or Chen?" Mei Yaoming told him that he had been young for ten years, old injuries, Yun Chi said: "If it is a new injury, Lao Na can try it, I have no ability to use the old injury, and when I am busy opening the temple, I will give you a good look, maybe I can relieve some pain." Mei Yaoming was very grateful, but he didn't dare to ask Yun Chi about Ouyang Ximu's current situation, the two seemed to have their own concerns.

Shi Songshan took Shi Qilai to talk to Abbot Yun Chi about the specific matters of opening the temple, Yun Chi didn't want to be too complicated, but the temple within a radius of several hundred miles still needs to be known, otherwise he owes the number of rites. Yun Chi personally wrote the invitation, including the surrounding officials and local gentlemen with status. Mei Yaoming looked at what he wrote, and the flowing font made Mei Yaoming sigh that he was really a master when he was invited.

Seeing Mei Yaoming and Shi Qi having fun, Yun Chi asked after Shi Songshan left, "That's the little son of the Shi family who is playing with you?" How can he be so intimate with you? Mei Yaoming sighed and said: "It's not the son of the Shi family, now his surname is Shi, his mother originally fled to me, so that the Shi family saw it, I don't know why, his mother was actually willing to give them the fourth lady of the Shi family, and the child was brought by her, the previous man." ”

Yun Chi is now a monk, it is not appropriate to ask more about mundane matters, and after he finished eating, he returned to the temple. Hearing that the abbot came to the temple, many people wanted to come and shave their hair, Yun Chi examined it repeatedly, accepted three apprentices, and claimed that he would no longer accept people. With a helper, Yun Chi no longer went to Niu's house to eat, and Mei Yaoming felt a lot colder.

The scene of the opening of the temple was solemn and grand, and Yun Chi did a very thoughtful job, and he became the first good man in the local area. On the afternoon of the day after the opening of the temple, the friend who was invited by Shi Yuanwai came to Shi's house from Lin Qian Temple, and he brought an old gentleman to Shi Yuanwai, and he told Shi Yuanwai: "This person I invited you is a foreigner, surnamed Su, who is a well-known teacher in the local area. I told him that your child is talented, and he just took advantage of the good day of opening the temple to come and see, and if he doesn't see it well, don't blame him. ”
