Chapter 116: Hanshan Temple (3)
Everyone came out of the Luohan Hall, passed through a narrow corridor, and then passed through two moon gates to the north, and finally came to the courtyard where they stayed.
Chen Yun looked at it at a glance and saw a main room facing him, with seven or eight side rooms lined up on both sides, the meditation room was secluded, and the grass and trees were deep.
The acquaintance kept his duty and didn't dare to take a second look, but just led the way. At that moment, he climbed the steps lightly, then walked to the door without hurrying, pushed his hands to open the door, raised his feet into the room, and bowed down to welcome the people inside.
Chen Yun followed in, followed the extension line of Chen's shoulder, and deliberately glanced into the room, and found that there were few furnishings in this room, and the simplicity was abnormal.
Under the west window, there is a seven-foot-long and five-foot-wide arhat bed, on which there is a red sandalwood back-patterned kang table, and blue and white porcelain pots and bowls are placed on the kang table. Next to Luohan's bed stands a poplar high table, on which stands an octagonal candlestick with a blue and white entwined branch pattern, and most of the candles are inserted on the iron skewer of the candlestick. There are four Buddha mats not far from the poplar high table, and in the middle of the Buddha mat is the food table. There are two Bogu shelves on the left side of the poplar height, and there are many scriptures stacked on each layer of the Bogu shelf, which is thought to be for pilgrims to copy.
Seeing that everyone was satisfied, Zhike smiled and bowed, and then hastily introduced the rules of work and rest in the temple and said goodbye.
Mother Shen was tired for a long time, panting and sitting on the Luohan bed to rest, Mrs. Wu and Chen were busy serving, and put Chen Yun and the others on the side.
Mother Shen's old man was soft-hearted, but poor An Qichun was pregnant, and she had to stand on one side to obey the rules, so she ordered Chen Yun to send An Qichun back to the meditation room to rest.
Chen Yun bowed and retired, personally helped An Qichun out of the house, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is expensive now, if she gives birth to Lin'er in the future, I am afraid that the ancestors will take a fancy to her!" ”
An Qichun smiled kindly and said: "It's all the ancestors and his wife who are biased, and I can't help but accept it, and I'm ashamed!" ”
Chen Yun smiled but did not speak, carefully sent An Qichun into the meditation room, hurriedly sent Ruiyun to make tea, and ordered Qingluan and others to clean up the bed.
Everything stops.
Seeing that Chen Yun was sweating on her forehead, An Qichun hurriedly pulled her to sit down and said, "Don't be too tired, you should rest!" ”
"I'm okay, I don't feel how tired, but my sister-in-law has worked hard all the way, so I won't delay your rest here!"
Chen Yun said and stood up slowly.
An Qichun also wanted to get up and give it away, but Chen Yun's eyes were quick and pressed her shoulder, making her unable to move.
When she got out of the meditation room, she saw Pan Cuilian leading Shen Fengyuan over, Chen Yun went up to greet her with a smile and said, "Why did you come out of the ancestor's room so quickly?" ”
Pan Cuilian slowly stood on her heels and said with a smile: "The ancestor wanted to call for clothes, so he drove everyone out, and the two wives and the third girl went back to the meditation room, I didn't want to go back to the room to rest immediately, so I led Feng Yuan to walk around the courtyard, just to relax!" ”
"I've heard people say that the vegetable food in this Hanshan Temple is the best, and we are blessed!" Chen Yun smiled and pinched Shen Fengyuan's face.
Shen Fengyuan's eyes flashed, his eyes widened, and he stared at Chen Yun curiously.
Pan Cuilian held his fat hand tightly and said, "No matter how delicious it is, it's not useful, this kid can't do without meat."
, I'm afraid I'm going to cry again! ”
Chen Yun looked at Shen Fengyuan with pity, and said with a smile: "You can't be hungry for our little master, otherwise, I'll send someone to buy some cooked food outside!" ”
"Don't bother!" Pan Cuilian vetoed, "Since you have entered the temple with everyone, you will inevitably have to learn from the monk for a few days!" ”
Chen Yun couldn't help but laugh when she heard her compare herself to a monk.
At this time, Chunyan stood under the porch and screamed: "Third grandmother, Mrs. is looking for you!" ”
Chen Yun didn't dare to delay, so she had to cut off the conversation in a hurry and hurriedly entered Chen's room.
Chen was directing Chunwu and Chunyan to arrange their bags, and suddenly saw Chen Yun walk in, and hurriedly said: "This is the child-seeking talisman that I just asked for from the prison temple, wait a minute, you wear it on your body, and you will not leave day and night until you are pregnant with an heir!" ”
"Alas!"
Chen Yun agreed, took it with her hands, carefully tied it to her waist, and then asked, "I think it's going to be noon, can my wife plan to fast?" ”
"The old lady hasn't moved yet, so wait a minute!" Chen said calmly, "It's the daughter-in-law of Yi, you have to take care of it more, so that your second aunt can talk again!" ”
Chen Yunnuonuo agreed, turned his head and walked out of the meditation room, and then went to Shen's mother's room to ask for instructions.
Mother Shen didn't feel how hungry she was, but she just thought that if she didn't pass the meal, Mrs. Wu and the Chen family might not dare to pass the meal, let alone Pan Cuilian and the others, so she symbolically ordered a few vegetarian dishes and asked Chen Yun to instruct the Huoju Daoist to cook.
Chen Yun took the order, and politely went to Mrs. Wu, Pan Cuilian, and An Qichun to inquire about their preferences, and then planned a plan, made a menu, and handed it over to Feng's mother to handle it.
Soon, Feng's mother led someone to bring a meal.
Shen Mu and the others sat around the table of the Eight Immortals, only to see that there were either shepherd's cabbage or cabbage on the plate, and there was no oil, water, meat and fish at all.
Shen's mother has to eat fast for a few days almost every month, and when she saw this table of clear soup and little water, she was not very surprised, but she stared at An Qichun intently, and said: "You have just been pregnant, if you eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, it may not be a good thing, and you have to eat some vegetable food occasionally!" ”
An Qichun had no choice but to see that everyone moved their chopsticks, so he had to put a piece of cabbage in the bowl. was about to bite down on the bibimbap, but there was an indescribable feeling of vomiting erupting from his chest, An Qichun couldn't stand it, put down the chopsticks in a panic, covered his mouth and gagged.
Mrs. Wu saw that she vomited badly, for fear that she would have a long and two short, and she didn't dare to force her to eat fasting, so she only ordered Qiu Xiang to serve her to rinse her mouth, and then sent Qiu Ju to buy Tongdu Temple with money, and asked the kitchen to make a few delicious side dishes.
After eating, Chen Yun and Shen Xueru took a walk to eat, and when they passed by the koi pond outside the courtyard, they saw hundreds of carp jumping in the pond.
Shen Xueru was born to like these cute little animals, and seeing them jumping around was very pleasant, she couldn't help but want to throw some fish into it.
It happened that a little novice came over with a fish bowl, Shen Xueru asked for it, and then sat on the marble pier by the fish pond and sprinkled a small handful into the fish pond.
The group of koi listened to the Sanskrit day and night, as if they were enlightened.
The surface of the water swayed.
Some of the koi fish went away with food, some circled around the fish food, some formed groups of three or five, coiled dragons and phoenixes, and some single-handedly and carp fought stiffly, and they were really alive.
Chen Yun saw that Shen Xueru was having fun, so she played with her for a while, and then pulled her back to the meditation room to rest under the pretext that the sun was hot.
Suddenly, after noon, a few bells rang in the ancient temple, and the Buddhist scriptures were recited in unison.
Chen Yun finally took a nap, and suddenly heard this earth-shattering sound, and couldn't help opening his eyes, but saw that Ruiyun and Ruicai were not in the house.
Chen Yun was frightened, and felt a little scorched, so he got out of bed and poured a glass of water to quench his thirst.
After only two sips, I saw Ruiyun and Ruicai coming in with a smile, Chen Yun immediately looked at them and asked, "Where did you run again?" ”
"Just take a casual stroll around the temple!" Ruicai smiled and asked, "What is grandma looking for us?" ”
Chen Yun straightened her clothes and asked, "Mrs. can she be in the room now?" ”
"Not here!" Ruicai said truthfully, and saw that Chen Yun was still looking at her, so she hurriedly said: "Mrs. just went to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to pick up the scriptures!" ”
"How long has the wife been there?" Chen Yun asked casually.
"It's going to be a while!" Ruiyun told the truth, "Mrs. saw that you were sleeping soundly, and she couldn't bear to wake you up, so she went alone!" ”
Chen Yun nodded, and asked again: "I don't know what is big in this temple, why did you suddenly start striking the bell and chanting the scriptures?" ”
"Before the bell rang, I passed by the main hall. I deliberately glanced at it, and vaguely saw a man kneeling among the monks! Ruiyun smiled, "Look at that back, it looks like a young man, but I don't know why I can't get through the empty door?" I guess the group of monks rang the bell and chanted the Buddha, probably to shave the young man! ”
Chen Yun pondered for a moment and said, "But when you enter the Buddha's door, your heart is like water, and half of your life is washed away. This vast world, all living beings, infinitely beautiful, they are willing to say goodbye to their parents, abandon their wives and children, and run to this secluded place to participate in meditation and enlightenment, it is really incomprehensible! ”
"Every man has his own will!" Ruiyun's expression was solemn, "Just like Sister Bai, such a handsome person, didn't she vote for the nunnery in the end?" ”
Chen Yun heard it clearly, and couldn't help but wonder: "It's been a few days since I entered the mansion, but I don't know who this Sister Bai is in your mouth?" ”
"The white sister in my mouth, named Bai Ling, was originally the maid in the second wife's room. Sister Bai's life is not good, on the way back to her hometown to visit relatives in the spring of last year, she was unfortunately robbed by robbers! Presumably grandma also knows that once a person becomes a robber, how can he ever see someone who is not strong, unreasonable, and vicious? Ruiyun sighed and continued: "That group of robbers blocked the way, and when they went up, they robbed Sister Bai of the belongings she was carrying. Sister Bai desperately refused to let go, and the leader of the group of robbers was angry from his heart and kicked Sister Bai away! ”
"Sister Bai is angry and afraid, but she has no fists and no courage, she is not the opponent of the robbers, she can only lie on the ground and whimper! But there was a small minion in the group of gangsters in the outer circle, his eyes were very sharp, and he caught a glimpse of Sister Bai hanging a jade pendant around her neck, and when he went up, he held down Sister Bai's arm, determined to snatch the jade pendant! "Ruiyun paints sound and color
described, "The jade pendant is something that Sister Bai has worn since she was a child, and although Sister Bai is reluctant, she grabbed the jade pendant hard to prevent the gangsters from dragging it away!" ”
"The gangster was so angry that he picked up the long knife and put it on Sister Bai's neck!" Ruiyun's words were indignant, as if he was despising the actions of the villains, "Sister Bai saw that they had robbed the property and didn't give up, and she was also angry in her heart, so she gritted her teeth and glared at the leader!" ”
"When the leader saw Sister Bai's beautiful face, he was very happy, scolded and drank, and ordered the little minions to drag Sister Bai to him!" When Ruiyun said this, not only did his voice lower, but even his eyes were filled with tears of sympathy, "That leader is a rough man, he has never been married before, and when he saw that Sister Ling was in good shape, he would be escorted back to be a lady when he opened his mouth and closed his mouth!" ”
