Chapter 16: Joy to return to Fenglin Temple
Gu Zhongkang saw that his brother no longer blamed him, so he became cheerful, and accompanied Gu Mengping and the three of them to talk.
After everyone left, Gu Mengping's smile faded. This kind-hearted brother-in-law, it's okay now, and if he is still so kind when he grows up, I'm afraid it's not a blessing but a curse.
But the more kind he is, the more he can be pleased by his family.
Thinking of this, Gu Mengping's face soothed again. The more Gu Zhongkang is liked by his family, the more alienated he will be, and the relationship with this family will become weaker and weaker, and no one will think of him.
At this moment, he heard a strange noise, but saw Qiao'er standing on tiptoe and looking towards the courtyard gate, but this song will end and everyone will disperse, where can he still see Gu Zhongkang's figure? I only saw that her face was pale.
Gu Mengping couldn't help sneering twice, first let Qiao'er go back to rest, and then said to Xin'er, who was standing on the side, "You come with me." ”
Xin'er looked at Qiao'er, then at Gu Mengping, and responded.
After entering the upper room, Gu Mengping said: "Since I returned home, you have followed me for half a month." ”
Xin'er raised her eyes to look at him, lowered her head and said yes.
"I heard you say a few days ago that your family is also a child of several generations, but is it true?" Gu Mengping asked.
Xin'er nodded again.
"Since he is a child of a family, he naturally knows a lot about things in the house. You've seen what happened today, and you're sure you'll have your own ideas. I will ask you, and you must tell me the truth. Speaking of this, Gu Mengping glanced at Xin'er lightly, "Do you have a place to go?" ”
Xin'er listened, with a little hesitation and hesitation on her face, and then pursed her lips.
Gu Mengping smiled lightly and bowed slightly, "Since this is the case, then you can tell your mother to go, if there is a place to go, I will naturally not delay you." ”
"Fifth Young Master?" Xin'er became uneasy.
Her mother did tell her to move the place. Originally, she still had this meaning, but after getting along for half a month, the fifth young master was an excellent one to get along with. Not only does he have a good personality, but he never blames others. What's more, what happened today, the reason is that she caused trouble for the fifth young master, if she greeted Mama Shui with a smile, how could she be beaten and scolded by her?
But the fifth young master didn't say a word, so he took the fault on himself, and didn't even mention it in front of the fourth master and the fourth wife.
Gu Mengping said gently: "Follow me, there is no future, you are still young now, you don't understand anything, your mother will naturally think about it for you." In the past half a month, I don't have anything to give you......" Gu Mengping thought for a while, took out a copy of "Mencius" from under the monk's robe and handed it to Xin'er, "This book is considered my gift to you." No matter what happens in the future, think more about what is written at the beginning of "Mencius", and naturally nothing in this world can stump you. ”
Then he put another ingot of broken silver on the book.
"Fifth Young Master......" Xin'er choked up and couldn't speak, kneeling in front of Gu Mengping.
Gu Mengping smiled lightly, "Go ahead, I'm going to do today's homework." With that, he stood up and walked in the direction of the bedroom.
Xin'er is a good maid, and there is really no future with him. Instead of waiting for him to return to Fenglin Temple and then leave, it is better to leave now and find a good place to go.
As soon as he thought of leaving, Gu Mengping's face was full of excitement.
The master said that letting him go back to Xifu is just to let the people in Xifu recognize him, and now that he has also recognized his name, can he live in Fenglin Temple for a long time?
In his previous life, he also enjoyed glory and wealth, the so-called officialdom has experienced ups and downs, and people have also reached the age of establishment, but they never thought that they were sick by a serious illness.
If you talk about wealth, in the previous life, even if she was an aunt who swept the streets, she ate more abundantly than the current landlord; When it comes to power, it's not that he hasn't enjoyed the joy of power......
In this life, I really want to accompany my relatives quietly, unlike in my previous life, when I didn't go home all day for business, making my wife and daughter wait day and night.
Fenglin Temple is his home.
Master Mingkong is his father, Yijing is his brother, and Yingsleeve is his sister......
At the thought of going home, Gu Mengping laughed.
What better place in the world could be than home?
Just as I was thinking about it, there was the sound of footsteps in the courtyard.
Gu Mengping sat up.
Xin'er opened the curtain, followed by a middle-aged woman.
As soon as the middle-aged woman saw Gu Mengping, she fell to her knees and said, "Thank you, Fifth Young Master!" ”
Gu Mengping knew that this person should be Xin'er's mother.
"Xin'er, this girl is a good person, and it is also her blessing to have a better place to go in the future."
Xin'er's little face was slightly pale, and she was full of gratitude to Gu Mengping.
The bride even kowtowed repeatedly.
Seeing that Xin'er was taken away by her mother, Qiao'er was overjoyed and full of anticipation. But she waited for two days and one night, until Gu Mengping was picked up by carriage from Xifu, and she didn't get a word.
Gu Mengping, who was sitting in the carriage, looked peaceful, and at his feet were a few monk's robes taken from Fenglin Temple. As Jia Baoyu said, the red stripes come and go without worry.
It was Yijing who came to pick him up, Yijing first went to Dazong to find the old patriarch, and then the old patriarch came forward to invite Gu Mengping out. The old patriarch already knew about that day, and when he saw him, he didn't say anything, but patted him on the shoulder.
Originally, Gu Shaohua and Gu Xingyun also said that they wanted to follow him to see the master, but they were stopped by the old patriarch.
When he walked to the mountain road, seeing the maple trees all over the mountain, Gu Mengping felt that his chest was a lot lighter.
The stream is murmuring, the deer are chirping, and the sunlight shines through the fine branches and leaves, forming a delicate halo.
He followed behind Yijing, his hands and feet were brisk, and from time to time he let out a happy laugh.
Yijing occasionally looked back and saw him smiling happily, and he grinned and laughed.
When he approached Fenglin Temple, Yijing made a gesture.
Gu Mengping was surprised.
It's the first day of junior high school, how did the master meet a foreign guest?
It wasn't until he entered the old monk's meditation room that he knew that the foreigner was not someone else, but it was still his old acquaintance. Sitting opposite the old monk was a middle-aged monk, whose name was like a lamp. A few years ago, when the monk Rudeng went to Kaifeng Mansion to do business, he passed by Suiping, and when he came to Fenglin Temple to visit the old monk Mingkong, Gu Mengping had several encounters with him.
Seeing that Rudeng came to Fenglin Temple again, how could Gu Mengping not be happy?
When the monk saw Gu Mengping, he pronounced the Buddha's name, "The poor monk pinched his fingers and calculated, and he was sure that he would meet the little benefactor today, and sure enough." "The monk is burly, his voice is like a bell, and he is an authentic monk of wine and meat.
Gu Mengping also smiled, "The little donor pinched his fingers and counted, today the stove room of Fenglin Temple is sorry for the Buddha again." ”
The monk shook his head again and again, "No, no, the only one who wants to say sorry to the Buddha is the little donor, the little monk is wine and meat through the intestines, and the Buddha sits in his heart." The little donor has to take care of this cooking, and the Buddha will not be sad and sad when he knows it, and he will blame the little donor! ”
Seeing their gags, the old monk Mingkong smiled. He is over 100 years old, how many good days can he have? Gu Mengping can have this fate with Ru Deng, which is also his creation.
Faced with the topic discussed by the two, the old monk Mingkong did not stop it at all.
The few novices behind Monk Rudeng looked at each other, they had never seen anyone who dared to joke with the master, especially since this person was still a young man who was not weak. Seeing Gu Mengping and Monk Rudeng as if they had known each other for many years, and after a while, they were discussing how to make this meat today and what spices to put on it, and several novices had already opened their mouths.
Monk Rudeng is not an ordinary person, or rather, his master is not an ordinary person.
His master was the black-clothed prime minister of the dynasty, Hui Guangshi, whose family name was Yao, and he left his surname after becoming a monk, and took Hui Guang as his legal name. Usually live in a simple place, only wear official clothes when the court, and after the next court, he returns to his Chongguo Temple to wear monk clothes and recite scriptures. He never got married in his life, and only accepted five disciples, the eldest disciple and the second disciple died one after another, and only three were left, such as the lamp was his youngest disciple. Loved by it.
Gu Mengping didn't know, or maybe he vaguely saw a little.
After all, there are not many monks in this world who will be protected by the forbidden army and warrior monks when they go out......
But if the monk doesn't say it, the old monk doesn't talk about it, and he just doesn't know anything.
The more calm he was, the more Monk Rudeng liked him.
As long as you come to Fenglin Temple, you will definitely quarrel with him.
