Chapter 006: Five Ming Buddhas
The street is bustling, from time to time there are patrol Yan Jun walking by, the two are mixed in the crowd, accompanied by caution, come to the south of the city, but see a three-story colorful building in front of them, draped in red and green, upstairs and downstairs under the eaves of the porch, there is a bewitching woman dressed in silk and satin, squeezing her eyebrows at the pedestrians. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Fang Ruo was humble and happy, quickened his pace, and came to the front of the building, there was a turtle man standing under the door, and when he saw Fang Ruoxu, he bowed his hand: "The two guest officers want to rest?" ”
Fang Ruoxu returned the salute: "A certain is a person from Dali Village outside the city, I will meet a friend in the city, I will spend a night tonight, I don't know if there is a fine little lady?" ”
Gui Gong said diligently: "Mr. came just in time, there happened to be an Oiran from Luoyang, named White Peony, no rougher than the local lady in Shaanxi County, she looks extremely smart, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has seen the world, but this White Peony is very picky, and refuses to see local pickled people, let alone receive the Yandi soldiers. Mr. Xiao Jian described himself as handsome and chic, and he thought that the white peony would also agree. It's just that the silver is a little exquisite! ”
"Since it is Luoyang Oiran, it is naturally a little particular about the silver! You can tell her, and you won't treat her badly! Fang Ruoxu said.
"Sir, please wait for the tea, and wait for a small announcement." Gu Gong said, turning and going upstairs.
A subordinate came over, welcomed Fang Ruoxu and Cao Mengde into Cuihualou, sat down in the front hall, and served tea.
After a while, the turtle man went downstairs with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to the guest officer, the little one saw the white peony, the white peony originally didn't want to see the guest, the little one talked about the objective appearance is handsome, polite, and generous, the white peony just agreed, and now he has washed and dressed upstairs, waiting for Mr!" ”
"In that case, please lead the way." Fang Ruoxu stood up: "Also arrange a room for my brother, a little lady." ”
"Although the second brother relaxes consumption, the younger brother doesn't want that little lady!" Cao Mengde said in a sullen voice.
"I said Brother Cao, you too......" Fang Ruoxu shouted, but seeing that Cao Mengxuan's face was not good, he had to say kindly: "Well, since my brother doesn't want it, it's better to be respectful than to obey my fate, please find a room for my brother and settle the account together!" ”
The turtle prince agreed, and asked the little maid to take Cao Mengxuan to the backyard, and he led Fang Ruoxu upstairs.
Fang Ruoxu followed the turtle and walked to a door, the turtle pushed open the door, only to see that the room was neatly furnished, a carved embroidery bed in the north, hung with a thin sand tent, a table of eight immortals in front of the bed, a few dishes of small dishes next to the table, a pot of wine, two white porcelain wine glasses, next to a beautiful woman, long hair waist-length, apricot eyes and cherry lips, skin white as jade, wearing a small embroidered jacket with truncated chest, wearing a thin water-colored half-draped, crisp chest and half exposed, Ying Ying smiled, saw Fang Ruoxu come in, hurriedly got up and said a thousand blessings, but it was a bewitching body and a variety of amorous, Fang Ruoxu suddenly became half crispy.
That Fang Ruoxu was in the rivers and lakes in his early years, and he was a blind stream in Chang'an City, and he had seen a lot of wonderful women, but because of the cyst shyness, he could only watch from a distance, and it was difficult to get close, and later married a cherry, although the cherry was handsome, but it was a handmaiden, and his behavior was like this. Fang Ruoxu saw that the white peony was so enchanting, and his body was on fire, and he couldn't hold it back, but he didn't dare to make too many times, so he had to be patient and bowed down: "The white lady is invited, Xiaosheng is bothered, there is a lot of offense, please take care of it!" ”
The white peony is indeed very picky, these days, the Yan army generals heard about the reputation of the white peony, and they came to the door to ask to see, but they were also generous. The white peony saw that those Yan army generals were ugly and behaved rudely, so they all refused. Because Feng Sima was strictly controlled, General Yan Jun was rejected by Bai Peony, but he didn't dare to make trouble, so he had to secretly vent some sourness.
Now, this white peony saw that Fang Ruoxu didn't look like the vulgar class of the Yan Army General, he looked like a scholar, his words were very decent, his heart was happy, and he hurriedly returned the salute: "Mr. admires his face, how dare the peony!" Mr. Please take a seat first, and wait for the peony to play a song to cheer up Mr. ”
Fang Ruoxu is already in the flames, where is he impatient to listen to any tune, he can't wait to rush up and press down the white peony. But seeing that the white peony said solemnly, I was afraid that she would look down on her, after all, she was born as a literati, so she had to say patiently: "Then there is Lao Bai Niang!" ”
The white peony picked up a pipa, held it in his arms, flicked his jade fingers, sang with his red lips, and sang a song of Bodhisattva:
"The flat forest desert is like smoke, and the cold mountains are sad and blue. Twilight into the high-rise building, some people upstairs worried. The jade steps stand in the air, and the birds return to fly quickly. Where is the return journey, the long pavilion is shorter. ”
I only listened to the melodious sound of the piano, the singing voice was like a complaint, the white peony song was not over, but Fang Ruoxu was stupid.
That Fang Ruoxu was originally holding back a fire, and the song of the white peony was poignant and tactful, like the echo of the empty valley, which caused Fang Ruoxu to feel sad in his heart, like a basin of cold water on his head, and poured the fire in Fang Ruoxu's heart to the point that there were no fireworks.
Fang Ruoxu is also full of poetry and books, and originally hoped that with a full stomach of scriptures, he would be the first in one fell swoop, return to his hometown in fine clothes, and glorify his ancestors. But he was in charge of Yang Guozhong, jealous of the virtuous and jealous, so that Fang Ruo fell into Sun Mountain and lived in the rivers and lakes, and now he was forced to go to Funiu Mountain, and became the king of the mountain. Listening to the sad singing of the white peony, and also the person who has fallen at the end of the world, Fang Ruoxu thought of the old father and mother who were far away in Fujian, and felt sorry in his heart, sighed for a while, and sang in a low voice:
"Yu Gu is under the Qingjiang River, and there are many pedestrians in the middle of the tears. Looking at Chang'an in the northwest, there are countless mountains in pity.
The green mountains can't cover it, after all, it flows eastward. Jiang Wan is sad, and the mountains are deep and smell partridges. (Borrowing the word Xin Qiqi here).
The white peony heard Fang Ruoxu singing, but continued to pluck the strings and accompanied Fang Ruoxu, until Fang Ruoxu finished singing, and then stopped, but the two sat opposite each other, silent.
After a long time, the white peony put down the pipa and said softly: "The peony is bad, Mr. Yaxing!" ”
Fang Ruoxu was stunned, and just walked out of all kinds of sorrow, and hurriedly said: "The white lady's piano music is wonderful, Xiaosheng listens to it really, and she is out of shape for a while, and she chants two sentences, but it makes the white lady laugh!" ”
"Mr. Fangcai chanted the Bodhisattva, the text is fresh, and the artistic conception is far-reaching! When Peony was in Luoyang, there were also some literati and writers, but no one could make such a text! Peony can meet such a great talent as Mr., and he is fortunate to have three lives! White Peony sighed softly.
Bai Peony's words were not deliberately flattering. Words must be supported by experience, and without experience, even if you read thousands of books and write something, you can't put it on the table. Although the room is a little sour, there is also goods in the stomach. More importantly, Fang Ruoxu walked in the rivers and lakes all the year round, and went through the bloody battle of Changshan, from Cangyan Mountain to Funiu Mountain, which can be said to have gone through hardships. The ideological conception is much higher than that of those literati who are well-bred and respected. Therefore, singing and coming out is a rare good song. The white peony is also knowledgeable, and when you listen to the Bodhisattva who is empty, you can hear the taste.
"Where, where, the White Lady is overrated." Fang Ruoxu hurriedly said: "I don't know where the White Lady's family lives? Why did you come to Shaanxi County? ”
"Peony was originally from Luoyang, and his parents died when he was a child, and he was sold into the Qinglou by his maternal uncle. Three months ago, the Yan army and the Tang army fought a fierce battle in Luoyang, the people were displaced, the livelihood of the Qinglou was cut off, and the sisters fled in all directions. Peony has no relatives in Luoyang, nowhere to run, Peony originally had a benefactor, lived in Shaanxi County, was a rich family, so he came here to beg him to take him in, but his eldest lady did not allow it, and drove me out. Peony had no choice but to come to this Cuihualou and settle down for the time being. Later, the Yan army occupied Shaanxi County again, but fortunately, Feng Sima restrained the generals, and the Yan army did not dare to plunder. Peony has no way out, so I have to live here for a day! White Peony sighed: "I don't know where Mr. is from?" ”
Fang Ruoxu heard the white peony say miserably, and sighed: "In the next surname Fang, the name is false, it is a Lingnan Fujian clan, just because he entered Beijing to take the exam the year before last, his name fell to Sun Mountain, and he did not return to his hometown, so he had to live in the rivers and lakes." encountered the Yan army in rebellion again, so he had to stay in this Shaanxi County. ”
Fang Ruoxu infiltrated the city of Shaanxi County, originally had a big connection, and always claimed that he was a member of Dali Village outside the city of Shaanxi County. was fascinated by the white peony, and in a few words, he told his real name and whereabouts. It's good that I didn't say Funiu Mountain.
"It turned out to be Mr. Fang! Mr. is so talented, but he is famous for Sun Shan, this is all Yang Guozhong's misrepresentation! Bai Peony sighed, Yingying got up, walked to the east window, lit an incense, respectfully inserted the incense in the incense burner, leaned over to bow to the air, and muttered a few words, then slowly got up and returned to the table to sit down.
Fang Ruoxu saw that there was no tablet in front of the incense burner, and asked, "Could it be that the white lady is incense to her parents?" ”
White Peony shook his head: "It's to incense the Five Ming Buddhas!" ”
"Five Buddhas?" Fang Ruoxu asked, I don't know where it is sacred.
Bai Peony's face was solemn: "The Five Ming Buddhas are the messengers of the Buddha in the West, specializing in saving the suffering of the world!" If the people are in trouble, they can pray to the Five Buddhas. ”
"How come I've never heard of it?" Fang Ruoxu's face was ignorant.
"I didn't know before, but my benefactor believed in the Five Ming Buddhas, and the sisters of Cuihualou often talked about it." White Peony said: "The Five Ming Buddhas are very effective! ”
If Fang is humble and disagrees with it, every time there is a troubled time, the people have no sense of security, they will go to find some spiritual comfort, and the evil spirits and foreign ways are to appear in the world one after another, gather disciples, and deceive people's hearts. It is expected that the Five Ming Buddhas are just obscene shrines hidden in the people.
Fang Ruoxu was also inconvenient to break it, and said: "What did the White Lady ask for from the Five Ming Buddhas just now?" ”
The white lady blushed and said softly: "Peony asks for the Five Ming Buddhas, bless Mr. Fang if he is extremely Tailai, and he will be an official in the future." ”
Fang Ruoxu was suddenly moved. Although the Five Ming Buddhas are very absurd, the heart of this white peony is sincere, and he bowed his head and said: "The white lady is so loving, how can Fang bear it!" ”
Bai Peony got up slowly: "Mr. Fang is running hard, and Peony is serving Mr. to rest!" ”
