Chapter 144: Because of the words of the monks in the bamboo courtyard
Hua Qingqiu did not forget to tell Dugu Xinci that he would start recruiting students tomorrow.
Dugu Xinci should be the first, and he doesn't expect his senior brother, who only has magic in his heart, to come forward to recruit students, and in the end he has to go out by himself.
February 8 is the day of enrollment registration of the East China Normal University Hall, Dugu Xinci and more than a dozen students of the Far East School began to arrange early in the morning, the ditch connecting Chanba at the door has been expanded into a canal, but the Bahe River embankment has not yet closed, and it is still a murmuring stream.
Dugu Liu of Youyi Village renovated the original wooden bridge and widened it to accommodate two horse-drawn carriages in parallel, and said that a stone bridge would be built after the school building was built.
At this moment, the guardrails on both sides of the wooden bridge are also covered with red colors, and the three hundred children from the Far East are in white robes, no longer armed with armor a few days ago.
Although Dugu Xinci has been playing around all day long, he has sent two students from his senior brother, one to call Wanchao and the other to call Mahan, and each took several pediatric students to visit school-age children in the four towns and eight miles to publicize the opening of the Chinese Normal University Hall.
Don't tie up and serve meals, although you need to work, but in the eyes of the villagers is nothing, after a little hesitation, you are attracted by the name of the academy, and you have recommended your own children.
The academy is in Changlepo, and the neighbors of the Chanba River Basin are naturally familiar with each other, and many of them are tenants of the academy's vocational fields, but the academy rarely recruits children as students, and the young people in the township are not as good as the elites from all over the Yantang Dynasty, so although they are close to the water, few can enter the academy to study.
Yesterday, it was estimated that more than 100 children should have registered today.
Dugu Xinci obviously misestimated the influence of the academy, and a crowd of people with children swarmed after the hour, and there were hundreds of them at noon.
"The kindergarten building in the hall of China Normal University is only enough for 500 children to settle in, and now there are more than 400, can it be accepted in the afternoon?" Wan Chao was both excited and regretful.
"Accept it, there are a few places in the middle school hall to settle in, and the slightly larger ones will be divided there" Dugu Xinci thought about and ordered.
"What are the regulations for the enrollment of secondary schools and universities?" Mahan also asked.
"Don't be in a hurry this year, see if there are any suitable ages in the private schools around you, and how much you can collect" Dugu Xinci is not in a hurry, and it is better to collect other people's semi-finished products than to forge them from rough blanks.
Wan Chao and Mahan nodded.
Wen Yu's 10,000-strong Caoqu army is still building embankments, spreading naturally fast, and after a day, even children from Lantian came to sign up, and Dugu Xinci took it seriously.
After three days of investigation, more than 400 were collected, plus the original 300 Far Eastern Academy, and another village, less than 800, and there were 788 children.
"Ready?" Dugu Xinci looked at the roster with satisfaction, which recorded the names of the registered children's parents, as well as their specialties.
"There are also three hundred settled in the middle school hall, and it is finally settled," Wan Chao replied.
"Hao Ru and the others will stay in one place first, take care of these children, well, break them up and mix them with the students of the Far East, let them have morning exercises in the next few days, and play freely at rest of the time."
"Don't you teach the rules first? The qualifications of these children are mixed," Mahan asked.
"Take your time, observe first, don't care about qualifications, first of all, let these wild children know that they have gone to school, and they can't be as casual as usual"
The youngest child who has just left his parents is only four or five years old, and the eldest is thirteen or fourteen, and now Yantang is rich, Chang'an is naturally needless to say, the village households in this suburb are also rich, if it is not for the rich family, the children will not be sent over, and they can still help with things if they stay at home?
These children are naturally the delicate children of the family, and they are suddenly controlled, naturally unaccustomed, crying and noisy.
Dugu was annoyed and ordered Yelu Shaotang to warn for the first time, punish the station for the second time, and beat him for the third time.
"Do you think you have a way? In the end, it's not just to convince "Nalan Feiya despised."
"Hey, Xiaoya has an idea?" Dugu Xinci asked.
"Well, let the ladies of another village coax first" Nalan Feiya has never brought a child.
"Okay, the first time I coaxed, if I cry again, I will warn, and then I will be punished, and if I still make trouble, I will fight" Dugu Xinci changed his mouth and ordered Yelu Shaotang.
"Why did you start a fight when you were in trouble?" Yelu Shaotang muttered.
"Itchy skin, isn't it?" Dugu Xinci glared, and Yelu Shaotang took Ding Li and a few birds and beasts to disperse.
Although the children were sent to school, the parents were not at ease, and the next day someone came to visit, and Dugu Xinci also smiled and agreed, so several children who were beaten dropped out of school.
After a few days, the number of newly admitted children stabilized at about 400, so Dugu Xinci introduced a new policy, and only New Year's Day of the month can be visited.
After February 15, the real first spring rain came, and the children who did not have to go out for morning exercises were very happy.
Dugu Xinci has also been annoyed by these ignorant children in the past few days, and Nalan Feiya then pulled her to the Yellow Crane Tower to play, green clothes and green hats, hand in hand.
Arrived at the turtle snake half-waist bamboo forest, the bamboo forest is quite fresh after the rain, the two are enjoying side by side, the forest turned to a person, but it is the empty master of Guishan Temple, the empty master of the Buddha voice, invited the two to see the new temple of Qinglong Temple, the two of them are fine, so they go.
Buddhism is rich, at the foot of the Turtle Mountain in the Chanba River each built a small ferry, in order to transport bricks and wood, the temple construction speed is not less than the Hua Normal University Hall, the things of the Hua Normal University Hall can also be transported from these two ferries, it is considered to be shared by the two parties.
Dugu Xinci only gave ten acres of barren mountains at first, but later saw that Master Kukai had repeatedly helped, so he rented the entire southern slope of Turtle Mountain to Qinglong Temple, no less than fifty acres of land, and the rent also rose to ten Wen.
Rent is a meaning, Buddhism doesn't care how much money, it doesn't matter if it's counted as a hundred a year, Dugu Xinci doesn't care, just proposes that they don't have to interfere with the students to go up the mountain to play.
Master Kukai agreed, but he really felt that the rent was cheap, so he offered to build a few roads to facilitate the believers to enter and exit Qingchuan, and also to facilitate the teachers and students of the Chinese Normal University Hall, and Dugu Xinci agreed.
The temple here in Qinglong Temple has also been changed to Guishan Temple by Master Kongwu, and he is the abbot of course.
Master Kongwu, who has a round head and big ears and a treasure-looking face, was initially mistaken for Master Wukong by Dugu Xinci, and after getting acquainted with him, he also made fun of it, but unexpectedly, Master Kongwu is also a loyal reader of Journey to the West, and the two have discussed whether Sun Wukong really exists.
Master Kongwu once went to the Temple of Mercy and Grace to participate in the translation of the scriptures, and heard many cases of Master Xuanzang traveling west to learn the scriptures, and I liked to study the evidence after reading the Journey to the West.
Today, he also found Master Xuanzang's notes and referred to Journey to the West to testify?
He found a record in the notebook: when Xuanzang was wandering in front of the temple gate in Dunhuang and was worried about the desert in front of him, a strong and respectful man from the Western Regions came to worship, claiming to be named Shi Pantuo, willing to be ordained to worship Xuanzang as a teacher, and promised to be a guide to escort Xuanzang through the customs. Xuanzang turned his sorrow into joy, and hurriedly asked Shi Pantuo to prepare horses, clothes and other travel supplies, so as not to be discovered by the defenders who were closed, they stepped on the thin frost in the middle of the night and set off quietly. While resting, Shi Banda suddenly jumped up and slowly walked towards Xuanzang with a knife.
However, when he reached a place about ten steps away from Xuanzang, he wandered uneasily.
When Xuanzang saw Shi Pantuo's actions and knew that he had a different heart, he muttered Buddhist scriptures and recited the name of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Seeing this scene, Shi Quantuo had to turn around and walk back to lie down.
After dawn, Shi Yutuo said that the future was difficult and dangerous, and he wanted Xuanzang to return, but of course Xuanzang refused to listen. After walking for dozens of miles, Shi Pantuo stopped, jumped off his horse, turned to Xuanzang and said, "Master, the disciple really doesn't dare to go any further. There are old and young in a certain family, how can they explain to the old and young in the family if they violate the royal law? Master, should we go back with so-and-so? ”
Xuanzang said: "I know your difficulties, and I don't force you to stay." Go back yourself! ”
But Shi Banda said: "If the master is caught by the defenders, confesses the name of so-and-so, and says that so-and-so leads the way for you, then the old and young of the certain family will still not survive." ”
Xuanzang was so entangled by him that he couldn't do anything, so he had to make an oath to take responsibility, took some silver taels, and gave him the horse he was riding. Only then did Shi Pantuo mount his horse and walk the way he came.
"This is the only apprentice mentioned by Master Xuanzang, with his surname Shi, but the origin of the stone monkey? But this Shi Pantuo has only been Master Xuanzang's apprentice for three days, and his personality is repeated, so he really doesn't look like Sun Xing, who was not afraid of the ground that day? Of course, this is just a certain speculation, and I want to ask the Marquis of Far East for advice."
Master Kongwu is also a good hand at making vegetarian tea, Dugu Xinci also feels comfortable drinking, put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Family words are not true, each has its own explanation, in the end, even so-and-so can't figure out the original meaning, Master Kongwu can verify its origin, it is an honor for so-and-so, but it can only be understood without words,"
"It's some-and-so, but it's also fun, isn't it?" Master Kongwu laughed.
"This fun is elegant, in a word, you can smile" Dugu Xinci also smiled.
"Yes, yes, with the heart to the heart, with a smile" Master Kongwu is happy.
The rain outside is quite heavy, outside the Zen Zen Mountains, between the turtle mountains, the water flows into a stream.
"As the saying goes, stay on a rainy day, Dugu Mingfu's banquet has eaten a few times, and I haven't been invited back yet, why don't you stay and taste some kind of food today?" Master Kongwu took the opportunity to stay guests.
"That's good, it's the first time someone has been invited to dinner since he entered Beijing? Oh, except for the saint and the queen mother, then a certain and Xiaoya bothered" Dugu Xinci was really invited to dinner for the first time since he entered Beijing, not only began to wonder if his popularity was too bad?
"Isn't that an honor? If Dugu Mingfu shouts on the street, who invites a certain banquet, and a certain person who guarantees that the guest can crowd Suzaku Street, "Master Kongwu's words are very comfortable.
"Hehe, but I still think that a few side dishes with a pot of hot wine and a few side dishes are the most lovely. Isn't it nice to be drunk? Dugu Xinci also sighed.
"So, then, it's a good thing that a certain monk doesn't drink alcohol?"
"That's it, no one can cook?"
The two laughed.
"I heard that the Marquis of Far East got a good sentence a few days ago: I don't get tired of seeing each other, only Turtle and Snake Mountain, this sentence is afraid that it will be passed down through the ages, and a certain Turtle Mountain Temple has borrowed light"
"But Turtle Mountain and Snake Mountain are still the halls of China Normal University, and Turtle Mountain Temple is the pearl of Turtle Mountain, and Turtle Mountain will be famous for Turtle Mountain Temple in the future?" Dugu Xinci and Nalan Feiya looked at each other and smiled.
"It's also a blessing that the Marquis of the Far East is here today, and it's good to give a poem?"
"So-and-so knows that it's not good to eat your food, well, so-and-so is a neighbor, so why not a poem? But there is also something to discuss with the mage? ”
"Far Eastern Marquis Despite Instructions"
"Some of the students are all children, if they really want to farm, they are afraid that they will not be able to do it, but there are some small things that can be done, such as the incense and candles of your temple, and even some of the miscellaneous work of your temple can also be undertaken by the students of the school."
"If the students of the academy can do such a trivial matter, it is naturally better to seek farther than to be closer, and this incense candle is also a large expense of the temple, of course, this matter can be provided by the academy, as for the miscellaneous labor, how can such a rough work bother the students of the academy?"
"Isn't it just handy? As long as they can survive in the industry, the students of the school must be involved, businessmen, slaughtering, bookkeeping, restaurant doctors, the industry is not divided into high and low, and no one is noble or low."
"The remarks of the Marquis of Far East are in line with the Buddhist scriptures, and the son of the Buddha is worthy of his name."
"A certain false Buddha, that is, the son of the Buddha and the Buddha of wine and meat, then the Dharma Master is a real practicing Buddha?"
"Far East Hou true temperament, bodhisattva heart, Buddha will, this is the true Buddha also"
"You'd better hurry up and compose a poem, right?" Nalan Feiya saw that the two of them were touting each other for not having fun, so she urged the lover to hurry up and chant poetry, and listen to you and others praising the meat.
"Hehe, okay, a few years ago, I only had a sentence to steal half a day's leisure, but today I really have a poem to embed this sentence" Dugu Xinci smiled
"Stealing half a day of leisure, it's really a good sentence, can you hear the whole poem?" Nalan Feiya clapped her hands.
Dugu Xinci then recited:
"All day long in the wrong drunken dreams,
Suddenly, I heard that spring came to climb the mountain.
Because of the words of the monks in the bamboo courtyard,
Stealing half a day's leisure. ”
"This sentence is a portrayal of today," Nalan Feiya praised.
This poem should be regarded as the work of Guishan Temple," Master Kongwu also applauded immediately.
"This poem is almost a fire in the temple", Dugu Xinci is very self-aware.
"Just stealing a half-day idle sentence can be a temple," Master Kongwu commented.
"It's ridiculous, but this poem can be used by some poets in the town, because this verse can also be read as: stealing half a day of leisure, suddenly hearing that spring is coming to climb the mountain. Because of the words of the monks in the bamboo courtyard, he was drunk in a dream all day long. ”
Master Kongwu and Nalan Feiya recited two sentences silently, quite happy.
"This is the loop poem, right?" Nalan Feiya asked.
"Sort of, it's just the text of the game, it's all about thinking about it when you're in a hurry."
"Well, when will you ponder another song?"
"Hehe, Master Kongwu, this tea is quite fragrant and Buddha-like, wonderful" Dugu Xinci hurriedly drank tea with Master Kongwu and talked about Buddha.
Master Kongwu also smiled, poured tea with the two of them, thought about it and said: "I have an idea recently, I want to discuss it with the Hou of the Far East, the recent enrollment of a certain Guanhua Normal University Hall is a child, and the University Hall has not yet enrolled students, I don't know what the strategy of the Hou of the Far East is?" ”
"I didn't recruit teenagers and adult students this year, firstly, because the school building had not been built, and secondly, because there was nowhere to recruit students," Dugu sighed.
"The hall of ECNU University is originally under the name of the college, how can there be nowhere to recruit students? There are countless audit students in the academy every year, and Far Eastern Hou can make them official students of the Chinese Normal University? Master Kongwu was puzzled.
"To tell the truth, if you go to recruit students from these audit students, first, you don't want to have a grudge with the colleges of the college, and second, you don't like which audit students are not optimistic, not that they have bad qualifications, and second, because they are already followers of various theories.
"That's right, a certain person has been taught, originally he wanted to discuss with the Far Eastern Hou, and there are many novices in Buddhism who need to be taught, why don't you ask the Chinese Normal University Hall to do it for you? Now it seems to be abrupt."
"So? If your temple can provide food and lodging first, you can try it."
"Uh, Far Eastern Hou promised to help teach Buddhist disciples?" Master Kongwu was a little surprised.
Drunk dreams all day long,
Suddenly, I heard that spring came to climb the mountain.
Because of the words of the monks in the bamboo courtyard,
Stealing half a day's leisure.
