Half a day later, Ah Gui finally drove the housekeeper back and brought back an axle, and asked someone to help them change it.

The housekeeper wanted to give Gu Mengping money for the axle, but Gu Mengping was only willing to let the person who changed the axle collect the money, but he didn't collect the money.

"This little brother, our family name is Xiao, we are from Hexing Town in the north, if you have anything to do with us, just ask in the town, there is only one family surnamed Xiao in the whole town, and we can naturally find us." When the housekeeper saw that he refused to accept the money, he had no choice but to do it.

Gu Mengping was slightly stunned.

There seems to be only one family surnamed Xiao in Hexing Town, a few decades ago this family fled to the capital, I heard that the old housemother of that family Lin was the nurse of Xiao Jinxuan, the governor of Jiliao, when she was young, and then she wanted to return to her hometown to raise her when she was older.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the cyan curtain on the side of the road.

Could it be that inside the curtain is the Xiao family's family?

Thinking of this, he turned his head silently.

The bigger the family, the more taboo it is that someone covets his family, if it is really the Xiao family's family, it is extremely rude for him to look at the past recklessly.

Seeing him and hearing the name of Xiao Jinxuan, the governor of Jiliao, he was not moved, and the housekeeper couldn't help but praise him.

Seeing that it was getting late, if he didn't leave, he was afraid that the old monk would be in a hurry, Gu Mengping said goodbye, and went to Fenglin Temple with Agui in the housekeeper's thousand thanks.

After they left, the blue curtain on the side of the road gently lifted a corner, and a young beautiful woman slowly walked out with a girl in tow.

"Why doesn't he want money, I think he's dressed very shabby?" The girl had a childish face, a pair of sheared eyes as if she could speak, and glanced curiously in the direction where Gu Mengping had left.

"A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, that little brother Mo looks shabby, but his conversation and demeanor are absolutely extraordinary." The young beauty tugged at her and said with a smile: "Wanyi, hurry up and get in the car, if you don't get in the car, it will be too late, and the grandmother is afraid that she will have to worry." ”

The girl named Wan Yi nodded obediently.

Because of the delay on the road, after Gu Mengping and them arrived at Fenglin Temple, the slanting sun was slowly falling behind the mountain, and the sunset on the horizon was like fire, dyeing Fenglin Temple thoroughly.

The old monk didn't worry about him, and sent Yijing to wait at the foot of the mountain. Seeing that he came back safely, the old monk recited the Buddha's name.

When he learned that Gu Mengping attributed it to helping others on the way, the old monk smiled, "It's convenient to be with people, and it's convenient to be with people." If you have helped someone today, one day someone will repay you ten times as much as he will be. ”

Seeing that his face was tired when he spoke, the old monk said with concern: "You must be tired after walking on the road for this day, there is a meal left in the kitchen, you go to eat it first." You don't need to come over to say hello when you're done with it, just go and rest. But he didn't mention the cart of grain and oil sent by the old patriarch, and he didn't ask Gu Mengping what happened to him in the Gu Mansion.

Gu Mengping knew that the old monk would not accept the cart of grain and oil, so before he stepped forward, he specially instructed Ah Gui to put the cart in the house of a tenant under the mountain.

Presumably, tomorrow the old monk will send Yijing down the mountain to distribute the grain and oil to the poor tenants under the mountain.

As for the matter in the Gu Mansion, the old monk didn't ask, so he was naturally happy not to say it.

It doesn't matter to him how Gu Weisheng treats him or how Xie treats him, they are just two strangers. Since they can ruthlessly abandon their own sons on the side of the road, such parents only need to stay away.

The only thing he was pitiful for was the Jiang family, who passed away without even being able to take a few glances at his own son.

He didn't take the Gu family to heart in the first place, but this time he was snubbed in Xidafang, and he didn't have any loss in his heart, he did his homework every day, and he exercised when he should exercise.

Seeing him like this, the old monk was also relieved.

After a few days, he began to study the Hanshu Art and Literature Chronicles with the old monk. The old monk taught him not to follow the rules, but only to teach with interest. He had just finished learning "Rong Ku Jian" to teach him how to behave in people, and in the past few days, he has begun to learn "Hanshu Art and Literature Journal".

In the words of an old monk, 'If you don't know the Hanshu Art and Literature Chronicles, you can't read the world's books.' ’

After finishing his morning homework on this day, Gu Mengping carried a bamboo basket on his back and prepared to go to the mountains to cut grass and feed the pigs.

Before he walked out of the mountain gate, he saw Yingsleeve jumping over.

"Brother, are you going to mow the grass?" The sorrow of the child came and went quickly, and Yingsleeve had long forgotten that two mothers-in-law were going to sell her a few days ago.

Seeing her, Gu Mengping couldn't help but smile and squatted down, "My brother is going to hunt pigweed, and Yingsleeve is obediently waiting for my brother to come back in the temple, okay?" ”

Gu Mengping made a gesture to eat sugar as he spoke.

Sure enough, a pair of autumn water sheared pupils with Ying Sleeves instantly bent into a crescent moon, and nodded vigorously, "Brother, go and come back quickly." ”

Gu Mengping rubbed her horns, and a trace of sigh passed through his heart.

I don't know which parents are willing to discard such a beautiful girl, if it is placed in the future generations, she will definitely be a treasure in the hands of her parents.

But now, she lives in a temple, and her beauty has even brought disaster to her.

God is really unfair! Gu Mengping shook his head.

Strode out of the mountain gate.

He didn't know that when his figure disappeared into the mountain path, the old monk Mingkong appeared at the mountain gate. He looked at the place where Gu Mengping disappeared and stood for a long time.

The mountain wind blew his gray monk's robes. The years have left marks on his face like a knife, and his two deep-set eyes are deep and bright.

Suddenly, he lowered his eyes and slowly turned around and walked towards the meditation room.

A gust of mountain wind blew, and an almost murmuring voice sounded, "The husband is not commensurate, the great debate is silent, the great benevolence is not benevolent, the great honesty is not humble, and the great courage is not resentful." The way is clear but not the way, the words are not reachable, the benevolence is often not successful, the honest and unbelieving, and the courage is not successful. The five are round and square! ”

If Gu Mengping was there, he would definitely be surprised, because this was Zhuangzi's "Theory of Things".

After a cup of tea, the old monk put on a monk's robe for hospitality and sat cross-legged on the futon in the meditation room.

As if waiting for someone.

Half an hour later, a carriage came from far and near down the mountain.

Gu Rongchang, the old lady of the Great Sect, was helped by someone and jumped off the carriage.

The gaze towards the mountain is obscure.

……

Mountain trails, beside streams.

Gu Mengping sat under an old tree with a crooked neck, watching the two sika deer drink water.

This mountain is the private property of the Gu family, and no one usually goes into the mountain to pick up branches, and no one dares to go into the mountain to hunt, so there are many small animals in the mountain.

Often walking, you can see a few hares burrowing into the bushes.

I don't know when the two sika deer came here, but since they came, they seem to have liked the tranquility of the mountain.

Gu Mengping could see them every time he went up and down the mountain.

The sika deer is a male and a female, and the male is a cub.

Every time she drank water, the doe would follow behind the fawn and would immediately raise a warning if something happened.

Then he quickly escaped with the fawn.

Seeing the doe's love for the fawn, Gu Mengping couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.

Lu Shangzhi loves to care for cubs, let alone people? Are people worse than animals?

If you don't love him, how can you abandon it on the side of the road at will? How could you be willing to do such a poisonous treatment to an infant baby? What else do you want to say, I hope that this child will have a good fortune in the future and be picked up by kind-hearted people...... Such parents are not worthy of being parents.

He wore it, and the previous Gu Mengping was afraid that he had already died in the wild.

It was the 'Gu Ping' who was worn by the mute Shami Yijing who was picked up, not the previous 'Gu Mengping'.

Thinking of this, he put his hand on his eyes, looked at the clear sky, remembered the old monk's desire to speak in the past few days, and sighed long.

"Let's take it one step at a time......"

When he returned to Fenglin Temple, he found that there were guests.

The meditation room of the old monk Mingkong was packed, and there were six or seven people seated.

Gu Mengping took a long breath to calm his mood, and bowed to the old monk sitting in the middle.

Although he had lived in the temple for eleven years and had a Dharma name, the old monk never let him perform the monk's ceremony. Not only did he not let him practice the monk's ceremony, but he also taught him the etiquette of the world everywhere.

Seeing Gu Mengping wearing a monk's robe but bowing, Gu Weisheng, who was his father, had a red face and a blue face, and his eyes were half ashamed and half annoyed.

"Master told me to wait up the mountain just to pick up this rebel down the mountain? Inevitably exalted him too much. Gu Weisheng snorted and pinned his face to the side.

Gu Rongchang, the old lady of the Great Sect, glared at Gu Weisheng with hatred.

No wonder the West Mansion has declined, just looking at this unsuccessful Gu Weisheng can see why it is declining.

Even he, the old patriarch, did not dare to make a difference in front of the old monk, but he dared to shout at the old monk.

The old monk had a kind smile on his face, and his eyes only looked at Gu Mengping.

It seems that Gu Weisheng's behavior has not been seen at all.

Gu Rongchang, the old lady of the Great Sect, sighed in his heart, what kind of person the old monk is, very few people in the family know. He only knew a little bit about it because he was older. But when his father was alive, he told him that as long as the old monk was there, there would be no catastrophe for the Gu family.

Why did my father say that, he didn't dare to ask, and he couldn't ask.

Just because the old monk is over 100 years old, he is worthy of his respect.

"Meng Ping, today I will lead your father, your uncle, and Uncle Congtang and Uncle Congtang to take you home." When Gu Rongchang, the old lady of the Great Sect, said this, Gu Weiping, Gu Weiyu, and Gu Weide looked at Gu Mengping.

Take him home? Gu Mengping glanced at the old monk.

The old monk closed his eyes slightly, but he could still see his deep concern and reluctance through his eyelashes.

Gu Mengping was reluctant to give up the old monk! What's more, his health has been getting worse and worse in recent years, how can he rest assured that he will go home at this time?

"There are few people in the temple, and the great-grandson of the clan wants to stay on the mountain for a few more years......" Gu Mengping thought about it, and got up and shook his head.

Gu Rong, the old lady of the great sect, held his beard with his hand and bowed slightly.

This child is filial, and it is not in vain that the old monk raised him for eleven years.

Gu Weiping, Gu Weiyu, and Gu Weide also understood the meaning of Gu Mengping's words, and nodded one after another.

Gu Weisheng chuckled in his heart, and his face turned red.

Since Gu Weiyue, the lobby brother of Dongfu, returned to Suiping, he has been looking for him several times because of Gu Mengping's affairs. Every time he says it, it is nothing more than to let him cherish his feathers, don't be harsh, and he will have a mean reputation in the future. The words also revealed why he has not been able to get into the Jinshi all these years, and it is related to virtue......

As soon as I thought of it, because of this concubine, he had been living at home for more than ten years, and the guilt caused by abandoning Gu Mengping on the side of the road had long since disappeared.

"Your mother-in-law is not in good health, and she has to support the mid-feed every day...... As the eldest son, you don't want to honor your parents, but only know how to cheat and play tricks on the mountain, what is the reason? ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of Gu Weiping, Gu Weiyu, and Gu Weide immediately darkened.

A twelve-year-old child knows the grace of feeding the old monk's upbringing, and is unwilling to go down the mountain to enjoy wealth, and this mind alone is admirable enough. As his father, instead of rejoicing in his actions, you describe your own son as unfilial, unrighteous, and unkind......

When Gu Weiyue thought that he and such a person were actually cousins, he felt that his brain hurt.

No wonder before leaving, my father repeatedly told him to restrain the behavior of everyone in Xifu as much as possible.
