Chapter 20: The Cai Family Brothers [Second Update]
In a good mood, Wu Kai looked at Zhu Mian a little more pleasing to the eye. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Although this guy is not a good bird, he can't be a helper if he uses it well - no matter what, he has also been in the south of the Yangtze River for many years, and the resources in his hands should not be underestimated.
"Lord Zhu......"
"Don't dare to be a Zen master, you call me Zhu Mian!"
"Zhu Mian."
Wu Kai called out kindly, took a cup of tea and held it in the palm of his hand, gently stirred the tea stalk inside with the lid, and said indifferently: "You have been in Jiangnan for a long time, it shouldn't be difficult to help me find a few shipbuilders, right?" I mean ocean-going vessels, the bigger the better. ”
"It's not difficult, it's naturally not difficult!"
Zhu Mian hurriedly said: "Zhu's Jiangnan should be under the jurisdiction of the Bureau, there is a special shipyard, and ships can be built in the inland and overseas seas!" In addition, Zhu also prepared a batch of good wood, if the Zen master needs it, I will immediately order someone to ......"
"Wood doesn't have to be."
Wu Kai said: "Wait for that Fang La, don't say it's wood, you can take people out Thank God!" ”
Zhu Mian didn't dare to brag nonsense, and only patted his chest and promised that he would definitely help Wu Kai find skilled shipbuilders.
"I'm too lazy to listen to these big words, you just do your best - in half a year, I will protect your life!" Wu Kai said: "If you can do your best to complete the things you have explained, within three years, I will definitely reinstate you as an official, or even exceed!" ”
Zhu Mian was overjoyed when he said this, and he didn't care about any 'right hand ban', he knocked his head three times, and said excitedly: "If the Zen master can do this, he will be the reborn parents of the villain and recreate his father!" ”
Just looking at Lin Lingsu's current power, he has no doubt that Wu Kai can do what he says!
But how did he know that even without Wu Kai's help, he would not die this time, and he would return to officialdom within two years and rise to prominence, until Song Qinzong succeeded to the throne, and he would die in the name of the six thieves.
-- Dividing line --
said that he had sent away Zhu Mian, who was grateful for his kindness and almost recognized his godfather.
Wu Kai was thinking about whether to eat less breakfast, or endure it, and wait until noon to solve it together, when he saw Shi Qian trotting in again, shouting excitedly: "Master, master!" Two young people came outside, claiming to be the son of Cai Xiangye in the current dynasty! ”
Although Zhu Mian in front of him is also an important member, he is a powerful man in the south, this Cai Jing is different, he has been in power for more than ten years, who doesn't know that he is a first-class figure in the Great Song Dynasty? !
Now that even Cai Jing's son has come to visit Wu Kai, it is no wonder that Shi Qian will feel honored.
Cai Jing's son?!
Wu Kai's heart moved, to this day, he still hasn't figured out why Cai Jing wants to recommend himself - maybe these two Cai family sons can give themselves an answer!
So he hurried out of the courtyard gate, and saw two white-shirted scribes waiting outside, this time without any gifts, only two servants with him.
Crossing the threshold, Wu Kai's movements slowed down, now he is a master in the world, although these two people are the sons of Cai Jing, the minister of power, their status may not be much higher than that Zhu Mian, if they are too affectionate, they will inevitably lose their identity.
Of course, Cai Jing is his recommender after all, so he should be polite.
"Amitabha!"
He stood on the steps, clasped his palms together, tried his best to pose as a monk, and said: "The two sons are here, and the poor monk has not been far away, which is really rude." ”
With the power of the Cai family, although it is now in decline, it is not difficult to ask for some information.
Therefore, the two brothers knew that they had a good conversation with Song Huizong yesterday, and even almost stayed in the palace - don't look at Wu Kai who rejected Song Huizong's proposal without hesitation, but this kind of opportunity for the king to lie down and talk all night is what the courtiers dream of!
In addition, Cai Jing had already explained, and the two naturally didn't dare to hold up in front of Wu Kai, and they were busy returning the courtesy, and the fourth Cai Qian [tao] said: "Don't dare, my brothers and sisters are rashly disturbed, and the Zen master is already magnanimous if he is not surprised, how can it be called rude?" ”
said, and signed up: "Student Cai Xuan, this is the younger brother Cai Yan [tiao], I have heard that the Zen master has profound Buddhism, and has the ability to deduce the heavenly machine, my two brothers came to listen to the teachings, and asked the Zen master to give teachings. ”
"Well said, well said! The two sons and the inside talked. ”
Wu Kai introduced the two into the house, and after the guests and hosts sat down, Cai Ying really planned to discuss the Buddhist scriptures with Wu Kai, and quoted the scriptures to tell some Buddhist anecdotes, but Wu Kai was sweating and didn't know how to deal with it.
Thinking that he had confessed in front of Song Huizong yesterday that he didn't understand the Dharma, Wu Kai simply said straight to the point: "Don't hide the truth, don't look at me now in a robe, in fact, I only know six of the seven tricks of this Dharma." ”
The meaning of this afterword is naturally ignorant.
Who knew that Cai Yan didn't understand, but nodded and praised: "The Zen master really deserves to be a master, and he has even mastered Buddhism - he often reads some Buddhism on weekdays, but he still only knows the ......."
"Ahem!"
Cai Qian coughed twice beside him, interrupted his brother's unbelievable speech, and said with a little embarrassment: "The Zen master is too modest, although the official family does not like monks and Buddhas, but he also has some knowledge of Buddhism, how can the Zen master be able to talk eloquently in front of the officials, how can it be said that he knows nothing?" ”
Well, if telling myths and stories can be regarded as spreading Buddhism, then Wu Kai can still be regarded as a master-level-hey, it seems that many monks are really famous for telling stories!
Thinking like this in his heart, Wu Kai's face was extremely sincere, and he told his personal experience of yesterday's eight points of truth and two points of falsehood again.
Finally, he said: "This is the origin of my monkhood, although later because of a little magic, I am also a little famous in Dongping Mansion, but it should not be introduced to the ears of the prime minister - but I don't know why Cai Xiangye recommended the poor monk?" ”
Hearing this bizarre experience, Cai Yan and Cai Qian looked at each other speechlessly, wanting to comment on one or two, but they didn't know what to say.
In the end, Cai Qian simply skipped Wu Kai's experience, and said directly: "Speaking of fate, my father and the abbot of Shaolin have an old relationship, a few days ago, I saw him mention the matter of the Zen master in his heart, thinking that now the Taoist Buddha is eliminating, and he needs a master like you to support the reputation of Buddhism, so I recommended you to Your Majesty." ”
It has something to do with Shaolin monks?!
This was beyond Wu Kai's expectations, he thought that after those monks fled back, they would think about how to take revenge on themselves, but he didn't expect this to be the result!
However, it was said that the two brothers of the Cai family suddenly got a lot of Wu Kai's 'secrets', but they were a little uncomfortable, and after chatting for a while, they took the initiative to get up and say goodbye.
When he got out of the Daxiangguo Temple, Cai Yan couldn't help but complain: "Fourth brother, it seems that the old man also has a time to go, this monk is clearly an impostor, if he is seen through by the official family that day, I can't say that our family will eat some hanging!" ”
"Not so! If you change someone else, I'm afraid that you will try your best to cover it up, and you will never reveal the truth so easily!
Cai Qian didn't see it that way, he said with a straight face: "Besides, you only listen to him admit that he is a monk halfway and does not understand Buddhism; But when he didn't see him talk about this, he didn't have a trace of uneasiness - thinking that in the eyes of his brother, this person must have some skills that are difficult for ordinary people to achieve. ”
Seeing that his younger brother seemed to be a little unconvinced, Cai Qian smiled again: "The official family treated him like that yesterday, presumably those Taoist priests must be red-eyed, whether he is a true Buddha or a fake Buddha, it depends on how to deal with it at that time!" ”
