Chapter 273: Do you want to move?
Xu Mingyuan and Zeng Qingyi did not stay under the Big Wild Goose Pagoda for long, nor did they rashly stop Du Ji to fight, Zeng Qingyi and Shi Yuexin fought before, and it has spread in the rivers and lakes, but fortunately, with Zeng Qingyi's identity, not many people in the rivers and lakes will come to Chang'an to fight with her.
If there is a tie with the monks of Erta Temple in the Great Ci'en Temple, then the most famous young man who comes in the rivers and lakes is Zeng Qingyi.
Out of the West Tower Courtyard, they couldn't stand Zeng Qingyi's insistence, and the two still went around to the lecture hall and listened to Jishi talk about the scriptures for an hour.
In the wide lecture hall, there is a high platform half a zhang high in the middle, and Ji Shipan, wearing a light red robe, sits on the futon, holding a string of prayer beads in his hand, and speaks in a gentle voice that can purify karma: "Repeat, Su Bodhi!" If a good man or a good woman is sustained to recite this sutra, if they are despised, it is the sinful karma of the previous life, and they should fall into the evil path, and if they are despised by the people of this world, the sinful karma of the previous life will be eliminated, and they should be given the three bodhisattvas of the Anuttara Samadhi......
Around the high platform, hundreds of monks dressed in various types of monk's clothes sat around, and it seemed that the older generation of monks in the temple and the little novices had come.
There are more pilgrims and lay disciples sitting around the periphery and outside the hall, many of whom have heard that there is a senior monk giving a lecture today, and they came here early in the morning.
Xu Mingyuan, who was sitting in the corner of the lecture hall, although he felt that Ji Shi's speech was simple and simple, and he did have the demeanor of a monk, and the monks of different ages listened to it with fascination, nodding thoughtfully from time to time.
But when he looked at Zeng Qingyi, who was already asleep on his shoulder, he couldn't help but smile and shook his head, obviously she pulled him here, but in the end he fell asleep.
At the end of the lecture, everyone stood up and saluted Jishi as a sign of respect and gratitude. And some monks in the temple also came forward to talk to him, raising their own questions and puzzles. Jishi answers carefully one by one, which can always satisfy the person who asks the question.
Xu Mingyuan and Zeng Qingyi, who was woken up by him, stood up, and wanted to say hello to Jishi before leaving, but seeing that there were so many monks around him, they had no choice but to give up and follow the pilgrims towards the outside of the hall.
Along the way, many pilgrims praised the young master just now for speaking well, simple and easy to understand, not as profound as those monks in the past, and they couldn't understand a word in the clouds.
Coming out of the lecture hall, it was already close to noon, and Xu Mingyuan originally wanted to take Zeng Qingyi to Pingkangfang's drunken immortal residence to eat gourd chicken, but Zeng Qingyi said that he wanted to eat lighter, so he simply stayed in the Daci'en Temple to eat fast.
stopped a monk and asked the direction of the hall, Xu Mingyuan and Zeng Qingyi went directly to the hall.
After a simple bowl of somen noodles, the two walked around the temple for a while, and then left the temple through the main gate.
After getting into the carriage, Xu Mingyuan was still thinking about where to go for a walk in the afternoon, and Zeng Qingyi, who was sitting in the carriage, said softly: "Let's go to Dongshi, I've been to Chang'an several times, but I haven't done a good job." ”
"Well, I haven't been there either." Xu Mingyuan answered, played the reins of the horse, and drove the carriage away.
He had been to the East Market a few times, but most of them were to kill people at night, when most of the shops inside were closed, and there were few pedestrians on the road, so he had never experienced any lively scenes.
On the way, Zeng Qingyi asked Xu Mingyuan to hand her the Heart Sutra, and after a while, she read it softly in the carriage, and through a curtain, Zeng Qingyi sat at the door of the carriage, and her voice was clearly audible.
Xu Mingyuan listened quietly, although he couldn't say that he had any understanding, but his mind did get some peace. Zeng Qingyi is similar to him, and he doesn't believe in anything, and now he is reading the scriptures, mostly because of his words before Ji Shi.
The carriage entered the East Market, Xu Mingyuan parked the carriage at the place where the carriage was parked, gave the caretaker a few more tongbao, asked him to help feed some water and forage, and then walked towards the East Market with Zeng Qingyi.
The East Market covers an extremely wide area, as big as the two squares of Pingkang Fang and Xuanyang Fang, and the four avenues are in the shape of a tic-tac-toe to divide the East Market into nine square places.
The east and west cities of Chang'an are separated from the east and west cities of Chang'an, because the east market is mostly a place where the powerful gather, so the things sold in the east market are also mostly rare things, and some things that the powerful like, high-end rouge gouache shops, and some silk things are a lot.
Xu Mingyuan and Zeng Qingyi walked along the wide street, looking at the shop-lined East Market, where pedestrians came and went, and from time to time they could see Hu merchants in strange costumes.
Xu Mingyuan, who thought he was just coming in and taking a casual turn, finally understood that Zeng Qingyi was here to hang out after following Zeng Qingyi around more than a dozen ready-to-wear stores and jewelry stores, and carrying five or six boxes in his hand.
"When I came to Chang'an, I was afraid that it would be too troublesome to carry it on the road, so I had to buy a new one." Zeng Qingyi said while directing the little guy in the store to wrap rouge.
Xu Mingyuan raised the box in his hand and said with a bitter face: "Rouge, you have bought two boxes in the two stores in front of you, you don't need to buy a third box." ”
Zeng Qingyi turned her head and glared at Xu Mingyuan, took the little girl's wrapped rouge and hung it on his hand, turned around and walked towards the door: "What do you know, pay." ”
The young guy looked at Xu Mingyuan with a smile, and said flatteringly: "Son, your wife is so beautiful, the rouge in our store is all first-class goods, and only your wife is worthy of it." ”
Xu Mingyuan nodded with a smile, directly drew a silver ticket of one hundred taels and handed it to the little guy, walked towards the door with the rouge, and said as he walked: "If you have a vision, the rest will be rewarded to you." ”
Suddenly got a dozen taels of silver, the little guy was slightly stunned, and then showed ecstasy, and said gratefully to Xu Mingyuan: "Thank you, master, you go slowly." ”
Xu Mingyuan was holding things in both hands, but he regretted a little that he didn't call the coachman with him, otherwise he could save a lot of effort.
The things in the East Market are quite expensive, and a high-grade rouge costs dozens of taels of silver, and after calculating it scattered, he has already spent hundreds of taels of silver on these things in his hand.
Fortunately, Xu Mingyuan has a lot of money now, and he also brought a lot of silver when he went out this morning, otherwise he would have to suffer the embarrassment of being shy in his pocket.
The two went around, Zeng Qingyi bought a hosta again, and then sat in a teahouse for a while.
After drinking two cups of tea and resting his feet, Xu Mingyuan carried many boxes, followed behind Zeng Qingyi, and walked towards the outside of Dongshi.
Along the way, Zeng Qingyi, who was dressed in a blue dress, and Xu Mingyuan, who was wearing a blue and white gown, were also quite eye-catching. Xu Mingyuan's appearance is not bad, but after changing into brocade clothes in Chang'an, he looks more like a handsome boy, even standing with Zeng Qingyi, which can also be called a good match.
After leaving Dongshi and getting into the carriage, Xu Mingyuan put all the things he bought in the carriage, and Zeng Qingyi also sat in the carriage and prepared to go back.
The carriage left Dongshi and headed towards the north, Xu Mingyuan, who was driving the carriage leisurely, suddenly sat up straight, glanced sideways at the carriage behind him, and whispered to Zeng Qingyi in the carriage: "Do you want to move your hands and feet?" (To be continued.) )
