Chapter 234: Reluctantly Asked (1 More Asking for a Monthly Pass)
As soon as they heard that they were eating fast, Chen Kaizhi and Deng Jian's eyes were very habitual, and they all lit up.
Chen Kaizhi thought in his heart, the biggest gain from coming here must be like this.
So the Fahai Zen Master took the lead, and all the pilgrims stood up one after another, Chen Kaizhi couldn't wait to leave, but Deng Jian gently pinched his sleeve.
Chen Kaizhi looked back puzzled, and when he touched his senior brother's eyes, he shook his head with a faint look.
Suddenly, Chen Kaizhi suddenly realized that he couldn't run this meal, he had to hold the shelf, and now he was also a person with status.
Chen Kaizhi didn't seem to be in a hurry or impatient, and when everyone stood up one after another, and set off with Zen Master Fahai, the two brothers and sisters slowly got up.
However, it was the Fahai Zen Master who deliberately stopped, waited for Chen Kaizhi, and said: "Master Chen, the meal of the White Horse Temple is also well-known, Chen Shizhu is a rookie on the list of heaven and man, if the poor monk has any inconsiderate hospitality, he still looks at Haihan." ”
Chen Kaizhi bowed his head and said: "The Zen master is gracious, and the students are very grateful. ”
This Fahai Zen Master nodded, and then led everyone to a fasting courtyard.
Seeing that the meal cases here were ready, Chen Kaizhi and Deng Jian sat in the same case, and Deng Jian whispered beside him: "Kaizhi, don't gobble it up later." ”
Chen Kaizhi felt that his senior brother was insulting him, and he wanted to avenge himself for stealing his food, so he ignored him.
When the food comes up, there is an attractive aroma of vegetables, and the first thing that comes up is the crystal clear tofu, which seems to be an ordinary home-cooked side dish, but it looks extremely exquisite.
Zen Master Nafahai said with a red face: "This dish is called Meiyu Flawless, with the water tofu produced in Chang'an Caishan, made last night, overnight, sent by a fast horse, in addition, do you donors find that there is no sauce in this dish, because the use is no miscellaneous refined salt, is purchased from Jinling, and the soup of boiling tofu is made of a variety of precious medicinal materials, boiled in three days, can strengthen the body, please use. ”
Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but be surprised, he really couldn't imagine that a small tofu soup was so precious.
He took the spoon and tasted it gently, and sure enough, it tasted different from other places.
Immediately afterwards, one after another Zhai dishes came up, and Fahai Zen Master also introduced them one by one, these Zhai dishes, all of which are high-quality, and the selected ingredients are extremely precious.
Deng Jian ate deliciously, but he still had to abide by his principles on the shelf, but he looked uncomfortable.
Chen Kaiyi still had some scruples at first, but later, he simply let go, habits can't be changed, it's not easy for people to live, even eating a meal is twisted and pinched, so what's the joy at all?
This meal, Chen Kaizhi ate quite comfortably, the temple greeting was thoughtful, after the meal, then a novice began to pour tea for everyone.
Chen Kaizhi took a sip of tea, feeling even more comfortable, and couldn't help but think, in fact, it's good to be a monk.
The place where he was sitting was leaning against the wall of the room, behind which there should be a long corridor, and occasionally a small novice would pass by pouring tea, Chen Kaizhi's ears and eyes were too sensitive, so that everything here could not escape his ears and eyes.
At this time, there seemed to be a few little novices muttering from behind the wall: "That young man just now, is Chen Juren of the Heavenly and Human List?" It's so young. ”
"That donor doesn't look like a wicked person, but why does Uncle Fahai say that this person deceives the world and steals his name, and is a great evil?"
Oh, isn't he the Chen Juren you are talking about?
When Chen Kaizhi heard this, he couldn't help but pay attention, and continued to listen quietly while drinking tea quietly.
I only heard another little novice say: "It is said that it is his article, which may cause big trouble in the temple, and someone in the court has already made an idea of the temple." ”
"Since the temple doesn't like him, why does the Zen master still give him a Buddha post?"
"You don't know, Uncle Shi is the main monk who is responsible for the introduction, and the distinguished guests in Luoyang, after all, this person is the new celestial list Junyan, this is a hundred years without a talent, invite him to the temple, can also make the temple a lot of color, if you can inscribe a word, maybe the pilgrims will come more."
"I see."
Chen Kaizhi smiled on his face, but he suddenly understood in his heart.
It's just that he has long been accustomed to such things, and the more he has seen them, the less likely he is to have a big reaction.
He still looked flat, raised his eyes slightly, but saw that Zen Master Fahai was talking with the Inspector Li of the household department, and they were having a good time.
Deng Jian, who was on the side, naturally couldn't hear the gossip outside, so he only cared about drinking tea.
Seeing that it was not too early, Zen Master Nafahai said with a smile: "The rice and tea are simple, which makes the donors smile." ”
As he spoke, he glanced sideways slightly, as if his attention was on Chen Kaizhi's body, and then Xu Bu walked in front of Chen Kaizhi, saluted, and said, "Master Chen, poor monk, in fact, there is a reluctant request." ”
Chen Kaizhi smiled and saluted: "Please also ask the Zen master to tell me." ”
Although he knew about Fahai's 'sinister intentions', Chen Kaizhi didn't look angry at all, and still remained polite, as if he didn't know anything about what was behind it.
Fahai said with a smile: "Chen Shizhu is young and promising, only eight buckets, today is the birthday of the Buddha, but the donor is willing to deign to come, up and down the temple, is also with honor, if Chen Shizhu can take advantage of this good day, in the temple inscription, the poor monk must be grateful." ”
Sure enough, there is no free lunch in this world, and I really asked myself to inscribe.
Now Chen Kaizhi's worth, with the list of heaven and man, has risen, this Fahai is a very smart person, take this opportunity to let a figure like Chen Kaizhi inscribe this temple, it can indeed greatly improve the prestige of the White Horse Temple.
This White Horse Temple, although it is the first ancient temple, but after all, it is not as good as that year, Luoyang City is the only temple, but now, the temples have already bloomed everywhere, although the White Horse Temple has the first name, but after all, it is not as good as before.
Chen Kaizhi had a smile in his eyes and said, "Inscription? This...... I'm just afraid that it's not appropriate, the students are only shallow in learning, how can they be virtuous. ”
Zen Master Fahai said: "Lord Chen is too humble, so please ask the donor to give him a pair of ink treasures." ”
He proposed it, and other pilgrims also became interested.
Anyway, Chen Kaizhi is a great talent, after all, this is certified by the Tianren Pavilion, who dares to disobey the Tianren Pavilion?
At this time, everyone was curious, what words would this Chen Juren inscribe?
So everyone said: "Yes, why should Chen Juren be modest, Zen Master Fahai is a monk with Taoism, how can he refuse to invite you like this?" ”
Another humane: "Chen Juren should go down, we are also looking forward to seeing Chen Juren's demeanor." ”
Inspector Li smiled and stepped forward and said, "Chen Juren must not be humble, how can he disappoint Zen Master Fahai?" ”
Speaking of which, even if Chen Kaizhi wants to leave at this time, he is afraid that it will be impossible.
What's more, eating people with soft mouths and not writing something doesn't seem to be justified.
Chen Kaizhi smiled and said: "When the Zen master talks about this, the student is only afraid but disrespectful, but the student also has a reluctant request." ”
Seeing that Chen Kaizhi agreed, Zen Master Fahai looked like a monk, and said without hesitation: "I don't know why Lord Chen invited?" ”
Chen Kaizhi looked indifferent on his face, but he was thinking in his heart, why are you slandering me behind my back, and let me give you an inscription?
Everyone respects you as a virtuous monk, but you are just a sanctimonious person!
Chen Kaizhi thought so in his heart, but his face was silent, and he said with a smile: "Since the Zen master can afford the students, but the students are thinking, if the inscription is serious, please don't think the student's words are bad, the words of this inscription should be hung in the mountain gate." ”
This sentence is not very modest.
Everyone thought in their hearts, a great talent is a great talent, the modesty just now is just the meaning, but people are very arrogant! The word of the inscription has to be hung on the mountain gate of other people, what is this called, this is called identity, otherwise this word is not a blank question?
It is very common for talented people to be proud of their talents, and this is understandable to everyone.
Moreover, to be honest, Chen Kaizhi asked his words to be hung in the mountain gate, in fact, the request was not too much, after all, he was a person who had been on the list of heaven and man, looking at the world, how many can compare?
Zen Master Fahai was a little hesitant, he naturally knew the weight of Chen Kaizhi, when it came to identity, he was just a small person, but this person relied on the list of heaven and man, and the weight of this list of heaven and man was not comparable to that of White Horse Temple.
Seeing that Zen Master Fahai hesitated, Chen Kaizhi smiled and said: "Please rest assured that the students have been invited by the Zen master, how can they not do their best?" The words of the inscription must contain Buddhism and add color to the White Horse Temple. ”
He made this assurance, so many distinguished pilgrims heard it clearly, and they looked full of ambition, which reassured Zen Master Fahai.
This person is talented, and the things he writes contain Buddhist principles, coupled with his identity as a celestial and handsome person, hanging outside the mountain gate is actually not a bad thing.
Fahai said with a smile: "That is the case, then the poor monk will be in charge, Chen Shizhu's inscription will definitely be an eye-opener, at that time, since it should be hung at the mountain gate, so that the pilgrims can see Chen Shizhu's literary brilliance." ”
He also made a guarantee, Chen Kaizhi is not afraid of him regretting it at all, after all, the pilgrims here are all people with status, if the White Horse Temple goes back on its word, how will it gain a foothold in Luoyang in the future?
Chen Kaizhi nodded and said, "Please give Mobao." ”
Fahai Zen Master looked at Chen Kai with interest, and commanded the little novice, but he was quite proud in his heart, this kid was actually very coaxing, invited him to eat a cup of tea, a meal, and got his ink treasure, but for the White Horse Temple, it was a great benefit.
However, thinking of Chen Kaizhi's article on the list of heaven and people, Fahai Zen Master was a little depressed, and when the little novice took the four treasures of the study, Fahai Zen Master saluted Chen Kai: "Please." ”
The pilgrims were even more interested at this time and gathered around.
