Chapter 35: Drinking
At this moment, I heard the abbot Xuanyin proclaiming the Buddha's name in the Daxiong Treasure Hall: "Amitabha, evil obstacles, don't leave quickly~!" β
The sound of this drinking was deep and fierce, sent far away, and when I heard the Buddha's name, the baby's crying stopped abruptly, leaving only the sound of the cold wind blowing through the pine treetops.
Unable to hear the baby's mournful crying, Xia Fengyi and Feiyan felt that their souls slowly returned to their bodies, Xia Fengyi found that she had been holding Meng Tianchu's arm tightly, her pretty face was slightly red, she hurriedly let go, and glanced at Meng Tianchu quickly. Thinking that he was afraid to shrink into his arms just now, he didn't take advantage of the danger of others to rub oil, but had a bit of a gentleman's demeanor, and couldn't help but feel a little more good in his heart, and even began to mumble in his heart whether he had generalized in the past, ignoring that he also had a good side.
Feiyan shook the oil lamp to the ground just now and extinguished it, the black lights around her were blind, and she couldn't even see the road, Feiyan helped Xia Fengyi to grope her way back, at this time, she saw that the corner of the house in front of her was lit up, and Mrs. Qin's little maid Jiwen walked over to them with an oil lamp in her hand, and said, "Young Master Meng, Madam, the slave maid will illuminate it for you." β
Feiyan was very happy: "You came at the right time, help me find the oil lamp." β
Under the illumination of Ji Wen's oil lamp, Feiyan found her own oil lamp, lit it with the fire of Ji Wen's oil lamp, and walked back according to the light.
Meng Tianchu followed behind them, and as soon as he walked into the courtyard, he heard someone in the opposite wing room shouting, "Hey! Meng Gongzi, can you appreciate the light and talk about it? β
Meng Tianchu raised his eyes and saw Zhang Zhenyu, a scholar standing at the door of the opposite wing, beckoning to himself, with a small wine cup in his hand, seeing Meng Tianchu, he raised the wine cup in his hand.
Meng Tianchu was overjoyed, thinking to himself, there is still wine to drink in this ancient temple in the deep mountains, haha, it is really cool, he has not tasted the fragrance of wine for many days.
Although Meng Tianchu is not a drunkard, he still likes to drink two glasses on weekdays, and he likes the feeling of being fluttering after drinking a half-dizziness. Busy said to Xia Fengyi: "Lady, I'll go and see what he told me to do." β
Feiyan snorted: "What else can you do?" Don't you see the wine cup in his hand? Drink in front of the Buddha in the temple and beware of the Buddha rebuking you. β
Meng Tianchu didn't believe that the Buddha blamed, now that he saw the wine, even if the Buddha really wanted to punish him after drinking, it would be a matter for later.
Xia Fengyi frowned slightly: "Xianggong, this place is indeed not a place to drink, drink less if you can, come back early to rest." β
Meng Tianchu smiled and nodded, suddenly leaned over, and said in a low voice: "Then I will come back early to rest, can I not sleep on the ground?" The implication is, of course, to sleep in the same bed with Xia Fengyi.
Xia Fengyi smiled faintly: "Okay, if you don't like to sleep on the ground, then I'll sleep on the ground." With that, he turned and walked back into the house.
Meng Tianchu muttered, "I...... I'm laughing, you can put the quilt on the ground later, and I'll come back so as not to disturb you. β
Xia Fengyi didn't answer, took Feiyan and walked into the house.
Meng Tianchu hurriedly ran across the patio, came to Zhang Zhenyu, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, what are you doing here?" β
Zhang Zhenyu said: "You and I hit it off at first sight, I originally had the intention to invite Brother Meng to the wine shop to get drunk, but the mountains are high and the forests are deep, only this ancient temple in the deep mountains, fortunately, there are a few cups of good flower carvings and some dried fish boys, sauce ducks and other snacks in the little brother's bag, guess Brother Meng is also a cyclamen in the wine, how about taking the liberty of inviting a conspiracy to get drunk?" β
Meng Tianchu's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said: "That dare is good, it's just ...... This is a quiet place in the temple, let's drink wine and eat meat here, will there be some blasphemy? β
Zhang Zhenyu said with a smile: "I thought that Meng Gongzi was a free and easy person, but I didn't expect it to fall into the clichΓ©, so let's go back." The cup was tilted behind him, and he turned and walked into the house.
Meng Tianchu was a little embarrassed, he was originally polite, but he didn't expect this Zhang Zhenyu to admit it as a real thing, but it seemed that he was a little fake. Hurriedly said: "Brother Zhang, wait!" β
Zhang Zhenyu turned around and looked at Meng Tianchu with displeasure on his face.
Meng Tianchu laughed dryly: "Brother Zhang, don't care, the little brother was just joking just now." In fact, the younger brother has never believed in any cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, and this wine will be drunk when he drinks it, is it possible that the Buddha will bring us back as treasures? Besides, the ghost baby was crying behind the temple just now, which scared my lady to death, and I didn't see the Buddha help us blow it away, it's really useless! β
Zhang Zhenyu's face suddenly softened, and he said with a smile: "Yes, this temple is indeed a bit evil, the ghost baby was crying just now, I listened to it here, and I was a little scared." Not to mention their feminine generation. Since the Bodhisattva of this temple doesn't care about us, we don't have to care about him, Meng Gongzi, please! β
Meng Tianchu smelled the aroma of wine, but he was not polite, and walked in. This wing room was arranged for Zhang Zhenyu, because he came out alone, so he lived alone, and next door was Shang Jia Hewang and Meng Tianchu's old servant Lao He Tou.
In the middle of Zhang Zhenyu's room, a square table was placed, on which were several dishes of sauced duck, cold pork ears, dried fish fillets, fennel beans and other appetizers, and several cups of two small wine cups were neatly placed on the table.
Meng Tianchu sat down with a smile and picked up a glass of wine: "Haha, it seems that Brother Zhang is also a person who often goes out, and he always has food and drink." β
Zhang Zhenyu said with a smile: "Yes, my little brother travels around to study, and he is not familiar with the roads in a strange place, and he often misses the accommodation, so he always has some food and drink in his bag, so as not to lose himself." β
Meng Tianchu's eyes narrowed with a smile: "Brother Zhang is really a man of temperament, good!" Then let's have a drink today! β
Zhang Zhenyu said in a low voice: "It's not okay to drink happily, after all, this is a temple, let's keep our voices low, don't disturb people's rest." β
Meng Tianchu nodded again and again, and said, "Shall we call the old man next door, He Wanghe, and Qin Yiyun Qin to have a lively drink?" β
Zhang Zhenyu's face sank, and he sneered: "Shangjia Baiding, how can you eat and drink at the same table with me, you don't have to pollute my audio-visual!" β
Meng Tianchu thought to himself, this handsome son really thinks of himself as high, but the ancient literati are all this virtue, the so-called "talk and laugh with Confucianism, and there is no white ding", look down on the working people, and the whole is poor and sour!
