86_86695 Wang Shuhui was not in a hurry to go to the palace to meet the monk. Originally, he didn't like Buddhism very much, so naturally he wouldn't like monks who were one of the Three Jewels.

Wang Shuhui didn't like Buddhism in his heart, and the reason for the obvious face was because he believed in materialism. However, those who are actually familiar with Wang Shuhui may know that his antipathy to Buddhism and monks comes from the influence of the film and television works he saw when he was a child.

One is a TV series called "The Legend of the New White Lady". The villain inside, a monk named Fahai, gave Wang Shuhui a very bad impression. One is a TV series called "Journey to the West". The Tang monk in it is very annoying to Wang Shuhui.

When I saw the TV series, the idol of the young Wang Shuhui, Sun Monkey, was embarrassed by the monk who was in charge of the scriptures and asked for a bribe, which also left a very bad impression on Wang Shuhui. Especially the Buddha's cousin in the TV series "Journey to the West", not only did not punish the monk who asked for bribes, but also said a lot of stupid things with strong words.

At that time, Wang Shuhui, who was in elementary school, had a big conflict with his homeroom teacher.

Wang Shuhui's homeroom teacher at that time was an obscene figure who was keen to accept gifts from parents and use them as a yardstick to treat students. In the management of students, the middle-aged woman often showed a marked bias. In those days, this kind of low-prime teacher was very common.

Although the young Wang Shuhui came from a poor family, he liked to read since he was a child. At that time, they had already begun to develop their own values. He was born bold, and often reprimanded his homeroom teacher in person, and was often punished by the homeroom teacher.

When Wang Shuhui saw the Buddha who did not distinguish between right and wrong on TV, he immediately thought of the face of his head teacher. The combination of the two made Wang Shuhui have a very negative view of this Buddhist leader. As Wang Shuhui grew up, the more he read, the more he understood, the more profound his understanding of Buddhism. However, the stereotypes formed in his childhood made him deeply hostile to Buddhism and monks.

Wang Shuhui didn't really want to go to the palace to see the monk in front of him. However, he has a lot of shame for his future father-in-law. This kind of guilt is not ancient. A large number of people are not modern either.

In ancient times, people thought that if they married a daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law would be a member of their own family. For the mother's family, it is just a matter of etiquette respect. Modern people regard marriage as a relationship of interest. Families of both men and women regard marriage as a game of interests.

Wang Shuhui, who is almost an orphan, is very sensitive to family relationships. Or to put it another way, he was a man of great conscience. He always felt that he was going to marry someone else's daughter, and psychologically, he was in a kind of guilt as if he had forcibly seized other people's things. Especially like Zhu Youzi's father and daughter, under difficult conditions, the father and daughter have always relied on each other.

Wang Shuhui has been dragging out not marrying Zhu Weiyan, on the one hand, because Zhu Weiyan is still very young, and he can't get started. On the other hand, it is this guilt that plays a big role.

Therefore, although Wang Shuhui does not like Buddhism very much, he also does not like to see monks very much. But at Zhu Youzi's request, he still has to accommodate his future father-in-law.

Liu Huaiyi is a very discerning person. In Wang Shuhui's procrastinating and awkward state, he noticed Wang Shuhui's unhappiness. Although he didn't know what the reason was, in order to complete Zhu Youzi's explanation, he had to make more efforts.

"The guest of honor probably doesn't know yet. This Mida Temple in Zhijiang County has a deep relationship with our Zhijiang Palace. The old prince, the ancestor of the prince, once practiced in the Mida Temple. ”

"So what. The old prince is practicing in the temple, and it is not that the temple has taken advantage. Could it be that the palace will donate less money to the temple? ”

When Liu Huai heard this, he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Wang Shuhui asked again, "Shizi and Wen'er have had a hard time for so many years. Even the fourth uncle's old club knows about it, and often helps the palace. Since Mida Temple has a great relationship with the palace, it has helped the palace when it was in difficulty. ”

Liu Huaiyi knew it in his heart. also helped, when the title of the palace was taken away, Mida Temple took the opportunity to buy a lot of land in the palace at a low price. Of course, Liu Huaiyi also has a new understanding of Wang Shuhui's careful eye. However, he is a very sensible person, so naturally he will not arch the fire in front of the young master and say some bad things about Mida Temple.

Liu Huai thought for a while and said to Wang Shuhui, "Yibin, the abbot of Mida Temple, Shi Daoxin, is quite a monk. He is quite familiar with Huguang officialdom and knows a lot of officialdom interests. There are also rumors in Zhijiang County, and it is said that the former Zhijiang County Commander Jiye saw that he liked to associate with Shamen monks the most. This abbot of Mida Temple is his friend. A year ago, before Jiyejian was impeached and stepped down by the imperial history, he was released as a gift from Daoxin, which was a shoehorn. Jiye thought that this thing had the meaning of 'promotion', and he was quite happy. I didn't expect to be impeached the next day. There are many rumors about this among the local people. It is said that this Buddha Dao Heart has some mana and can predict the prophet. ”

Liu Huaiyi thought that Wang Shuhui was a young figure after all, and he should be interested in these legendary rumors. Who knows, Wang Shuhui, who was accustomed to all kinds of propaganda techniques in later generations, was most disgusted with this kind of religious figure, using public opinion to publicize his various supernatural powers to fool the people.

Wang Shuhui, who was already very disgusted with Buddhism and hated monks very much, listened to Liu Huaiyi's words. The impression of the abbot of Mida Temple, Shi Daoxin, has been very bad. Shi Daoxin, a monk, has become an evil monk who does not abide by his monastic duties, is keen on Vanity Fair, and likes to use an opportunity to promote his magical powers.

Wang Shuhui changed his daily short clothes, changed into a Taoist robe, wore a net scarf hat, and went to the palace with Liu Huaiyi to meet guests.

entered the palace and met the heart of the Buddha. Wang Shuhui's impression of the monk is even worse.

Shakti was about forty years old. Unlike the vast majority of people in this era, Shi Daoxin is well nourished, pampered, and full of fat. Seeing the bald head, wearing a yellow high-grade Songjiang cotton monk's robe, and wearing a string of jade Buddha beads. Wang Shuhui unconsciously remembered Chekhov's description of an official in his head, "His chin is as smooth as a heel." ”

Wang Shuhui himself is not thin. His figure gives people a sense of robustness and straightness. However, Wang Shuhui often feels a sense of self-blame when he sees the general malnutrition of people in this era. Shi Daoxin was white and fat, and in a pampered and well-behaved heart, he held a high-ranking shelf, which made Wang Shuhui very disgusted.

Wang Shuhui had been in the late Ming Dynasty for a few months and had already learned the basic etiquette of this era. He saluted Zhu Youzi respectfully, and said, "Lord Taishan, you have been healthy recently." ”

Zhu Youzi still has to serve the shelf of Old Taishan in front of outsiders. He raised his hand lightly and replied, "I'm still safe." You don't have to be polite. Come and meet the abbot of Mida Temple, Master Jingming. ”

When Wang Shuhui heard this, he endured his nausea and bowed his hand to the monk slightly. After that, he stood quietly beside Zhu Youzi.

Zhu Youzi has always been a big-hearted person, and he didn't care much about Wang Shuhui's rude behavior. Let him sit on the sofa where he started, and said to him, "Master Jingming's visit this time is because I heard that our house has invited honor guests, so I came to visit and congratulate him. You have to be close to Mida Temple in the future, don't break the good relationship between our palace and Mida Temple for generations. ”

When Wang Shuhui heard this, he had no choice but to stand up, bow his head and answer Zhu Youzidao, "What the adult said is very true, and the son-in-law keeps it in mind." ”

Zhu Youzi waved his hand again to let Wang Shuhui sit down, and said to the monk, "I have lived in the mountains for many years, and I have long stopped asking about family affairs. All the affairs of the family are in charge of my son-in-law. If the master has anything to explain, he can tell my son-in-law. ”

After saying this, Zhu Youzi took out a mechanical pocket watch given to him by Wang Shuhui, glanced at the time, and said to the monk, "The old man lives in the mountains, and it is time to meditate and clear his heart (drink tea, eat snacks and listen to stories). The master can explain something to my family's honor guests, and the old man will be rude here. ”

Hearing this, Shi Daoxin and Wang Shuhui both stood up and respectfully watched Zhu Youzi, accompanied by the chief housekeeper Liu Huaiyi, walk back to the back hall step by step.

When Wang Shuhui saw that his old Taishan was gone, he immediately lost his perfunctory interest in the demon monk in his heart. He said impatiently to Shi Daoxin, "The monk found my father-in-law's house, what is the matter. ”

An old fritter like Shi Daoxin, who has been rolling in Vanity Fair for most of his life, is very sensitive to people's feelings. As soon as he saw Wang Shuhui, he instinctively felt that this guest of honor was unimpressed with him. It's just that he doesn't know whether Wang Shuhui disagrees with himself as a person or Buddhism as a whole.

Shi Daoxin clasped his hands together, pronounced the Buddha's name, and said to Wang Shuhui in a serious manner, "Yibin may not know that the palace has a deep relationship with this temple. There is an old prince of the previous generation who used to practice in this temple. Isn't it the birth of Huayan Bodhisattva soon? This temple wants to preach the scriptures on the birthday of the Bodhisattva, and then come to the world to report here. ”

Wang Shuhui said impatiently, "How can I, the guest of honor of the palace, not know about the affairs of the palace." I have already told the old butler this, and I will tell you again here. ”

"When the old prince is practicing in your Mida Temple, he will not fail to give money to the temple. The origin of our royal palace and your monastery is here. The old prince borrowed a place for you to relax, and you did not suffer a loss after receiving financial gifts. What's more, your Mida Temple can also use this incident to preach outside, the Dharma is vast, universal sentient beings, and even a prince can devote himself to the Buddha. Speaking of which, you've earned it. What else is there to remember. ”

It was the first time Shi Daoxin had met such a person. The children of rich and noble families, no matter what they look like in their bones, still look gentle and polite on the big face. Like Wang Shuhui, who speaks bluntly about the pros and cons, Shi Daoxin is really the first person to encounter.

This kind of sudden situation made Shi Daoxin, who has always been sharp and spit lotus, not know how to react for a while
