Chapter 64: Wonderfully paved with mountain brocade
"This ......" Liang Shirong's words seemed to pierce the nerves of the master of Su Zhai, making him frightened, "Ah, it is indeed easy for silk silk to rot in the open air under the sun and rain, why haven't I thought about this clearly?" ”
Liang Shirong confidently said: "I have a way for you to worship the gods and save money, so as to have the best of both worlds." ”
The lord of Su Zhai did not believe it: "Is there a thing in the world that has the best of both worlds?" ”
Liang Shirong's tone was mysterious: "So I thought of a substitute for you." ”
The owner of Su Zhai couldn't wait to ask: "Substitutes? What are you going to use instead? ”
Liang Shirong said loudly: "Plum blossoms!" ”
"Plum blossoms?" The lord of Su Zhai couldn't equate the silk and plum blossoms for a while, and said, "The two of them are incompatible, how many plum blossoms do I have to buy to be able to cover the opposite mountain?" ”
Liang Shirong saw the anxious look of the master of Su Zhai, so he said his thoughts: "Since it costs too much to cover the mountain with silk and satin, it will make you bankrupt, and it is not practical and attractive." I think you might as well plant plum trees all over the hill on the other side. ”
The Su Zhai master's thinking was still only thinking to one side, and he was puzzled: "How can you repay the gods by planting plum trees all over the place?" ”
Liang Shirong crossed his hands on his chest, and then expanded forward: "Plum blossoms are extraordinary." The color of plum blossoms is gorgeous but not charming. The posture of plum blossoms is ancient and delicate. The fragrance of plum blossoms is quiet and elegant. When a plum tree blooms, a thousand flowers can bloom on a single tree! ”
There were also a few plum trees planted in front of the door of the master of Su Zhai, and he nodded in response: "When the plum tree blooms, the tree is full of flowers. What kind of plum trees should we plant here? ”
Liang Shirong: "Green calyx plum." ”
Su Zhai Lord: "Green calyx plum? ”
Liang Shirong explained: "There are many varieties of plum blossoms. The north is suitable for planting red plum and yellow plum, and we are the most suitable for planting green calyx plum here. ”
Su Zhai Lord: "Green calyx plum? As the name suggests, are its flowers green? Where to find it? ”
"No," Liang Shirong stretched out his hand and drew a large circle around, "The central calyx of the green calyx is green, but its petals are white. There are now a lot of green calyx plums on Twin Stone Mountain. Yo, the green calyx planted in front of your house is also a green calyx. ”
"Huh?!" A layer of fog was lifted in front of the eyes of the master of Su Zhai, and he couldn't help laughing, "I only know that we have planted a lot of plum trees in Shuangshi Mountain, how do you know what kind of variety it is?" It turned out that I was riding a bull looking for a cow. ”
Liang Shirong was very pious when he spoke: "The plum blossom is as white as snow, spotless, white and flawless like the Zen heart of a monk, pure and ethereal, so the plum blossom is a kind of Zen flower." ”
The master of Su Zhai didn't know the details of Liang Shirong, but many of his words were in Buddhist language, and said: "Yarong, you are a layman, how can you talk like a master in a famous mountain and ancient temple?" ”
"I'm just going to be straight." Liang Shirong smiled and made gestures, as if he was drawing a blueprint, "Just imagine, if we plant plum trees all over the hill over there." Those plum trees will be moistened by the rain and dew of Shuangshi Mountain every day, and they must be growing well. On weekdays, the green trees are swaying, and the mountain is like a large brocade quilt covered with a layer of green. In the cold winter season every year, there are thousands of white flowers blooming from each plum tree, and from a distance, the mountain is covered with a natural brocade quilt, which is extraordinarily beautiful, which is more spectacular than you spread silk and satin on the mountain. It is the ten thousand flowers that dare to come out of the snow, and a tree alone in the spring of the world. How holy are the white plum blossoms! How noble! How solemn! The mountains are full of snow-white plum blossoms, with a curling Zen atmosphere. Isn't there a beautiful world of Zen wind on the mountain over there?! ”
Liang Shirong's words seemed to show the owner of Su Zhai a beautiful and attractive natural landscape painting.
The lord of Su Zhai clapped his hands and shouted: "This method is indeed good. ”
Liang Shirong: "In addition, white plum blossoms also have medicinal effects. ”
The lord of Su Zhai was even more interested: "Ah, the white plum blossom still has medicinal effects?" ”
Liang Shirong: "It has the effect of soothing the liver, stomach and phlegm, and can cure plum core qi, liver and stomach pain, loss of appetite, dizziness, scrofula, and abdominal pain. ”
"Good! Good! Good! The lord of Su Zhai stretched out a thumbs up to Liang Shirong and praised, "Yarong, I didn't expect you to be careful and careful, but your mind is not simple. How did you come up with such a difficult question? ”
Liang Shirong was straightforward: "My head flashed at the time, and I thought that Lu Jia's story of paving Huabiao Stone with mountain brocade was inspired. ”
During the Western Han Dynasty, Lu Jia sent two envoys to South Vietnam, and when he passed by the Huabiao Stone on the bank of the Xijiang River, he claimed that if he persuaded Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, to return to the Han Dynasty, he would pave the Huabiao Stone with brocade. After the success, Lu Jia planted yellow chrysanthemums all over the mountain, and looked like a yellow brocade mountain from afar. Later generations called Huabiao Stone Jinshi Mountain.
The sorrowful face of the owner of Su Zhai was replaced with a joyful expression: "There are many plum trees in our village, and those plum saplings are easy to find." Just do as you do. Today, I will arrange for the people in the village to do it. ”
Liang Shirong used his wisdom to come up with this idea, which not only solved the big problem for the owner of Su Zhai, but also added to the opposite mountain, which is really the best of both worlds!
The lord of Su Zhai breathed a long sigh of relief this time, and said, "You saved my precious son, and you saved me such a lot of money." I will thank you heavily, no matter what. ”
"I am happy to be able to solve problems for others. I can't take the money. Liang Shirong waved his hand.
Master Su Zhai: "Even so, if you don't accept the money, I will be uneasy for the rest of my life." ”
Liang Shirong saw that the attitude of the master of Su Zhai was so resolute, he pondered for a while, and said: "Master Su Zhai, since you must pay money to reward me, then, you can use this money where it should be used." ”
Su Zhai Lord: "Where to use!" What do you mean? ”
Huineng's hand pointed outward: "The road to your cottage from the outside is steep and narrow, with potholes. You might as well pay for the rough road to be widened and paved, so that the folks in your village can get in and out more easily. ”
Master Su Zhai: "Ah, are you asking me to pay for the road repair?" ”
Liang Shirong nodded: "Yes, building bridges and roads for the benefit of the township, what has accumulated is great kindness." How about you pay for this good deed? ”
"Okay, okay." Lord Su Zhai stretched out his thumb and praised, "Yarong, you are a person who thinks of benefiting others all the time, you are really a good person who has cultivated in your previous life and in this life!" ”
Liang Shirong humbly said: "Master Su Zhai, what I am doing is just an ordinary thing. ”
The owner of Su Zhai told the plan in his heart: "Tomorrow I will call the whole village to dispatch, some people will go to the opposite hillside to plant plum trees, and others will go to level and repair the road into our cottage." ”
Liang Shirong laughed: "I will also come to plant plum trees with you tomorrow." ”
The master of Su Zhai was a little reluctant: "These heavy jobs are going to bother you again?" ”
Liang Shirong stretched out his calloused hands and raised them: "I have been going up the mountain with my mother to cut grass and collect firewood since I was sensible, and my hands are not idle." Besides, planting plum blossoms on Shuangshi Mountain is also my wish! ”
Master Su Zhai: "Okay, then, I will mobilize the people in the village to plant plum blossoms with you." ”
Since then, Mt. Twin Stones has been planted with plum trees. When the plum blossoms are in full bloom, they are wrapped in silver, which is extraordinarily enchanting, becoming a beautiful and holy world, and also becoming a well-known mountain of dark fragrance fluttering.
The people of Shuangshi Mountain also chose the day when the plum blossoms were in full bloom and set it as the annual "Plum Blossom Festival" there. This is a later story, and I will show it later.
