XVII. Artesianism
After the fourth lady let the servants on the side disperse, she said: "I don't have to discuss with others, you see that if our family is good, I will give him a marriage to your family Yuemei, your man was kind to our mother at that time, and I can't repay it." Shi Caishuang said: "We are a small family, how can we be worthy of your son Shi, although he is not born outside the time, but he lives in the house, I heard that the talent is good, Mr. Su has always said that he is the material of the big tool, I dare not be the master." Niu Lixin is afraid that he will not agree, I am not a big lady, but I have lived here, the door is not appropriate, it is not that Shi Qi does not want us, it is our girl who will suffer when she comes in the future, we just want her to be safe, just have a good family, I don't hope she can be rich and expensive. ”
The fourth lady asked her to go back and discuss with Niu Lixin before replying, anyway, no one knew, they talked about Shi Qi's situation in the temple for a while, and the fourth lady faintly felt that Shi Qi had a teacher who learned martial arts. She originally felt mysterious about Teacher Su, but because of respect, she didn't want to ask more, as long as it wasn't a bad thing, it would certainly be better for her son to know the same ability.
After arriving home in the evening, Shi Caishuang told Niu Lixin about the kindness of the fourth lady, and Niu Lixin had not had the opportunity to see the fourth lady for a long time, and the scene before the temple was restored suddenly poured into his eyes. He thought for a while and said: "This is a good thing for our family Yuemei, Shi Qi is not the son of the Shi family, he is also good to Yuemei, I am also optimistic, why can't I agree?" ”
Shi Caishuang said: "They are all children now, what's so good, you haven't lived in a big family, that's not us, everything is particular, everything has rules, I don't want Yuemei to suffer that sin." I don't know what to do to think that entering the gate is to enjoy happiness, don't say to be a subordinate, I don't want to go to that place as a master, I really want to marry Shi Qi, he is not a member of the Shi family, and we have nothing to be Yuemei's backer, she is not only angry, it is better to choose an ordinary family. ”
Niu Lixin said: "The child is still young, don't mention this matter first, besides, Shi Qi's child is smart and has a good teacher, I don't know where he will go in the future, I think I can promise the fourth lady first, don't let others know, if it is possible in the future, it is not better." The two of them talked for a while, and slept without communicating with Mr. Mei.
Lin Qian Temple because of many years of broken incense, this person, especially the quality of the abbot of Yunchi, the reputation gradually increased, one day, a group of people from afar arrived at the gate of the temple because of fame, and the monks invited them in. They said to the monk who knew the guest: "This is our young master, I went to Beijing to take the exam, I heard that you have a miracle here, and I want to see if our young master can be named on the gold list this time." ”
The monk said: "The monks don't speak, we can only pray for the guest officials, and we can't predict the future, whether to enter the temple or not." After putting their hands together and getting out of the way, a group of people poured into the temple, they were not sincere to the Buddha, but they just wanted to hear the incense here when they were eating at the bottom of the mountain, so they came up to take a look. Yun Chi is not in the main hall for normal zazen, and today it happened that he happened to come out to find Dao Zhen to have something to say, seeing that he was teaching Shi Qi, and wanted to wait until the break time to communicate, at this time, a group of people just now entered the backyard with an exaggerated voice. The Buddha Gate is a quiet place, Yun Chi looked at this group of people in surprise, and their eyes met.
Yun Chi said after saying the Buddha name: "Donor, this is the backyard, no pilgrims are accepted, please go back to the front." The group of people saw the abbot at a glance, and the first family member said: "We heard that the incense here is effective, if you can protect our young master's high school, we will shape the golden body when we come back, if we can't guarantee it, don't blame us for ruining your reputation." Yun Chi said: "The donor's accent is not a local, this is a small temple in the local area, it is not worth the donor's trouble, Lao Na hereby wishes the donor's wish come true, forgive the abbot of the temple is incompetent, can not meet the donor's requirements." ”
A group of people touched a soft nail, and there was nowhere to attack, and when they came out of the small courtyard, they found that Dao was really cleaning the yard while they were talking. The little leader of the group didn't know how to pass the time, Shi Qi was too young to be teased by him, so he only deliberately made disrespectful actions to Daozhen. He kicked Dao Zhen's broom, and what surprised him was that he didn't kick Dao Zhen's hand with his purpose, and he could be a small leader of a big family, and come out to accompany the master to get around, naturally he had his superiority, he shot again flexibly, wanting to show it in front of the master, thinking that it was just a coincidence. This time he knew that he had met an opponent, and Daozhen didn't dodge, but the broom in his hand seemed to be unintentionally making this guy go away repeatedly.
When he was about to have a seizure, the little young master saw that there were many masters in the world, and he was in Beijing to take the exam, and he had a letter of recommendation from his father to Mr. Ouyang. The young master said: "Yang Cheng, stop, if you don't see what kind of place this is, how can you be rude to the monks?" He was also a young man, and he also wanted to find a place to vent his anger like Yang Cheng, but seeing that Dao Zhen was not something they could afford to provoke, and the other party's identity was just a courtyard sweeper, how deep the water was for the abbot in front of him, he knew that the apprentices were all so skilled, so there was no need to say that the master would have to say.
A group of people went out of the temple gate and went outside to find a place to eat, but there was only Niu Lixin's family in front of them, Yang Cheng went to the door and shouted, "Is there anyone in the house?" Is there anything to eat? Make us some and we'll pay more. At this time, Shi Caishuang came out of the house, she saw such a group of people, and when she just wanted to go in again, Yang Cheng said with an impure face: "Little lady, my young master is hungry and wants to beg for food in your house, wait for our young master, it will be beneficial to you." ”
Shi Caishuang said: "My man is not at home, you better find another place, we don't have so many preparations." Yang Cheng said: "Give me everything, it's not that we don't give you money, I didn't expect a group of old monks to have a beautiful little lady at the door, where did your man go?" Shi Caishuang said: "When you go out hunting, come back to eat immediately, or wait for him to come back and tell you how to go down the mountain to eat in the restaurant?" ”
Yang Cheng said: "I told you, let you do it, you will do it, why are you so verbose?" It's okay if you don't do it, you accompany our young master to talk, and we will do it ourselves. Shi Cai said: "My father-in-law is paralyzed on the bed, just in the house, this is the pure land of Buddhism, although it is not in the temple, but it is also under its illumination, if you violate the rules, be careful of the government." ”
Yang Cheng sneered: "Official? My lord is a world friend of the dynasty, you may not have heard of it, do you know Prime Minister Ouyang? The young master had a letter to him in his arms. How? Scared, right? Or you go to Beijing with us to open your eyes, and the young master will also give you a foreman girl after becoming an official. Since Shi Caishuang married Niu Lixin, she knew that no matter how bad the free body was, it was better than a girl, hearing such humiliation, she wanted to have a seizure, and found that there were many people on the other side, at this time Niu Lixin came back with a few wild animals to eat, followed by Xiao Qi.
It turned out that today Niu Lixin caught a few wild meat with a taste that was particularly suitable for Shi Qi, so he called Shi Qi from the temple, and Mr. Su was willing to eat vegetarian food, so he didn't come. Yang Cheng saw Shi Qi and thought of Dao Zhen's teasing of him, and he asked, "Is this your son?" Shi Caishuang said: "It's the little boy of the outside family under the mountain, Lixin, they let me cook, you see where there is food nearby, and let them go." ”
Yang Cheng looked at the mountain goods brought back by Niu Lixin and said: "Just stew these, get us some wine, and let us experience the joy in the mountain breeze." Niu Lixin looked at the five of them, and then looked at Mei Yaoming, who was already angry indoors, and said: "This is what we eat ourselves, we don't sell it, there is a tavern not far down the mountain, and it is convenient for you to go there." ”
Yang Cheng said: "It's really a mountain savage who doesn't know how to lift, don't say to give you money, don't give money, let you cook a meal for our young master, it's also your blessing, and you dare to push back." When you come back and walk to you, you see that my young master can no longer look directly, at that time you have to avoid it, take advantage of the opportunity now, hurry up, you count the money, and I will give it to you when you eat well. ”
Niu Lixin didn't want to cause trouble, he asked Shi Qi to help him, let Shi Cai start a fire, quickly boiled the water, and there was still some wine at home, Niu Lixin pushed Mei Yaoming out and prepared to eat with Young Master Yang. Yang Cheng said: "You and your father take the children to eat inside, let our young master eat wild meat, accompany the wild woman, and have a good time for a while." ”
Niu Lixin's clenched steel teeth, he really wanted to punch Yang Cheng's mouth into his throat, but he didn't make a move, and the habit of enduring it if he could have developed for many years made him stand stunned. Shi Qi was different, he said in a milk voice: "This is my aunt, if you dare to be presumptuous, I won't let you eat meat." Young Master Yang said: "The people are not big, and the tone is not small, but it's a pity, but the big ones are not bold." ”
Shi Qi said: "Let you not say it, you still dare to bully my Uncle Niu, I really don't want to eat it." As he spoke, he put a meat bowl that he could hold on to Yang Cheng's body. The meat is hot, the soup is even hotter, Yang Cheng was scalded and jumped, Niu Lixin and Shi Caishuang were startled, Shi Qi's move was too fast, too sudden. Shi Caishuang quickly cleaned Yang Cheng's hot spot with a rag, and Yang Cheng actually grabbed Shi Caishuang's arm with his hand after just a little bit and said, "If you don't go down the mountain with me today, your family won't be able to pass this pass." ”
Niu Lixin said with a smiling face: "The meat is for everyone, don't want money, let go of your hand, you have something to say." Young Master Yang said: "It's not that your meat doesn't want money, my Yang Cheng's meat is priceless, what should you do if you burn it?" Trade your meat for it? It's not in the pot, it's on you, it's on your woman. His secretive, treacherous smile made Niu Lixin, and Shi Qizhen wanted to skin him like he had just treated the beast.
