On the thirtieth day of the month, the Daguan Temple put out the medicinal tea boiled in a large pot early to send a thirst-quenching lamp to the good men and women who entered the temple to worship the Buddha; The laymen also gave their own copies of the Medicine Sutra at the temple gate; There are also many merchants and hawkers who come from time to time, and they have also found a place to set up a small stall to do business. When the sun rises, people come from outside the city one after another, and the huge Liuyan Mountain is as lively as a temple fair.

Because Ruan Mingyu opened up the relationship in the temple early, he was able to set up a shed under the big tree in front of the temple, hang the signboard of the Jingbao Pavilion, and there is a sign next to it, with the famous Buddhist verses written in the dragon and phoenix: "Bodhi is not a tree, the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing originally, where to stir up dust." On the long table, a variety of Bodhi bracelets are placed for the pilgrims who come and go.

At first, everyone looked at the bead bracelets of different shapes, thinking that the Treasure Pavilion was selling objects here, but when they learned that they were giving away for free, the stall was full of people after a while.

Li Jingshan was ordered by Ruan Mingyu to stay in front of this stall.

"This lady, you have graceful makeup and bright clothes, and it is best to match this kind of Vajra Bodhi." Li Jingshan handed over a string of intricately patterned bracelets with both hands.

The lady took it, tried it on her wrist, and sure enough, it was a good match, and thanked her with a smile.

The official lady who followed next to her asked, "Then what kind of look good do I wear?" ”

Li Jingshan took a string of small Xingyue Bodhi, "This kind of Xingyue Bodhi is small and exquisite, and the patterns on it are like stars in the sky, simple and elegant, just for Miss." ”

"What about this?" The young lady asked, pointing to the other bracelet next to her.

"This is the phoenix-eyed Bodhi, named after the pattern on each bead that resembles an eye. This kind of bead is solemn. It is suitable for the elderly. Li Jingshan smiled: "If you wear it, Miss, it will be dull." ”

The young lady smiled and put on the Xingyue Bodhi, and hurriedly thanked her.

When others saw it, they all hugged Li Jingshan's side and asked her to recommend the Bodhi bracelet, and most of them were satisfied after her answers. Some people even looked at the small sign of Jingbao Pavilion hanging on the bracelet, and pulled Li Jingshan to say that they would go to Jingbao Pavilion to find her to buy some Bodhi bracelets in the future.

Li Jingshan talked at the stall for half the morning, and it was not until noon that she had to pour half a bowl of tea to ease the smoking throat. Xindao's white work is really a loss to my grandmother's family.

She was pouring the second cup of tea and drinking it, when she saw the shopkeeper Hong pacing over, she wiped her mouth busily, stood up and said hello respectfully.

Shopkeeper Hong has been coordinating the scheduling of this stall, and now he came to look at the inventory on the stall, and asked casually: "I have been giving here for a long time, and I have also sent out nearly a thousand bracelets, can you see any doorways?" ”

Li Jingshan didn't know what his question meant, and asked tentatively, "What does Shopkeeper Hong want to ask...... Which aspect? ”

"Whatever you want." The shopkeeper Hong smiled kindly, just like the happy Maitreya Buddha in the temple.

Could it be that it is also one of the assessments? It's just that this topic is too broad.

Li Jingshan was in good spirits and replied seriously: "There are all kinds of pilgrims who go up the mountain to worship the Buddha, and from their clothes and accessories, as well as their choice of Buddha bead bracelets, we can roughly see their family cultivation. ”

"Oh? Tell me about it? How can you see it? ”

Li Jingshan went to pour half a cup of tea and took a sip before continuing: "Today's Buddha's birthday ceremony, everyone is used to dressing up. Therefore, it is not easy to see the door from the clothing, but people's ornaments and words will inevitably reveal their identity. ”

"For example, the old woman in front, although her clothes are new, but in addition to this satin dress, she does not wear accessories such as plackets and jade pendants, which shows that she is from a general portal, and at most she is a slightly wealthy family." "This kind of customer, I usually recommend Sandalwood Bodhi for them, because they prefer to follow the routine, uh...... That is, to follow the trend. ”

Shopkeeper Hong listened interestingly, smiled, and asked, "The one next to you is also an old lady, what do you say?" ”

"That's from a big family." Li Jingshan analyzed, "Although she is also a plain satin robe, the workmanship is extremely fine, and the placket and ornaments are even more exquisite. Fang just talked to me, and the words were elegant and decent, and I recommended Fengyan Bodhi to her, and she liked it very much. ”

She analyzes a group of customers. I still thought in my heart that if the young master came over, he would definitely choose a string of fancy Vajra Bodhi bracelets.

Shopkeeper Hong nodded as he listened, and then asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

Well? If you don't get the main points right, start over in a different direction.

Li Jingshan reorganized her thoughts and continued: "Also, by looking at the jewelry of these guests, you can also see some doorways. For example, in a large family, if it is the home of an official eunuch, most of the accessories are luxurious and bright; If it is a scholarly door, it pays more attention to the elegant material, chooses more jade ornaments, and pays attention to carving. ”

Shopkeeper Hong nodded secretly, and listened to Li Jingshan say: "There is also a relationship between age and the choice of jewelry, the young like the beautiful and chic, the older like the calm and dignified, these are self-evident." It's just that I found an interesting phenomenon. ”

"Oh? What phenomenon? Shopkeeper Hong said with interest.

"For the selection of jewelry, people who are particular about it will also consider the color matching of jewelry and the matching of clothing. For example, women who wear blue dresses prefer to wear accessories such as burnt blue and emerald. Li Jingshan said, but also sighed that the people of this dynasty are really meticulous in their pursuit of color harmony and beauty.

Shopkeeper Hong's eyes lit up, and his words reminded him of the wine he went to Hualou with the young owner. Doesn't that coincide with what those two Oiran said?

Shopkeeper Hong nodded and smiled, "Okay, you can take a break with lunch first, and there will be a large wave of pilgrims coming up in the afternoon." ”

Here, Li Jingshan took out 120,000 points to deal with the interrogation carefully, and over there, Young Master Ruan was in the meditation room of Daguan Temple, drinking tea leisurely with the abbot Master Mingjue.

"Everyone in the world says that Buddhism was born, but the disciples have heard that all living beings are suffering, and they need the Buddha to get good karma and purify." Ruan Mingyu carried a pot to pour tea for Mingjue Da and the monk, and asked softly: "Then may I ask the master, is the Buddha born or entered the world?" ”

Master Mingjue pronounced a Buddha horn and said, "Mahayana Bodhisattva, develop bodhicitta and take it as your responsibility to save sentient beings, do not give up life and death, and do not enter Nirvana, and the level of cultivation is higher than that of shravaka. Buddhism is naturally a member of the WTO. ”

Ruan Mingyu turned the teacup, sniffed the crisp fragrance of tea, and said with a smile: "The disciple has also heard that in the general meaning of Buddhism, the four truths of 'suffering, concentration, extinction, and Tao', only the truth of suffering refers to people's illness and pain, and it is because of the medicine master Liuli Buddha to purify all sentient beings. Since Buddhism stresses accession to the WTO, it is better to ask Daguan Temple to take this Buddha's birthday as an annual festival to promote Buddhism and save sentient beings. I, Jingbao Pavilion, would like to contribute my modest strength to the Buddha. ”

Master Mingjue muttered: "The donor's words are very good, but he just preaches that Buddhism is the way for Buddhist disciples to enter the world and practice, so how dare you bother the donor." And the pure land of Buddhism should not have too much red dust disturbance. ”

Ruan Mingyu laughed and said: "Although my generation is a person in the red dust, I also admire the grandeur of Buddhism and want to cultivate the law of birth. Buddha Yun's non-out and non-in, that is, in and out, out is not hindered in the entry, in and out is not in the way, the harmony is not biased, and the right way is revealed. I hope that the master will open up the path of cultivation for us and others, and we must not refuse. ”

Master Mingjue raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Lord Ruan Shi originally knew the Dharma very well, and it is no matter what, the Dharma is in the world, and it is not separated from the world. As the donor said, our temple and your pavilion will jointly hold such a Buddhist festival. ”

Ruan Mingyu was overjoyed and hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Master Mingjue. I also took a sip of the teacup, hiding the smugness in my eyes, it was a good opportunity to promote the Jingbao Pavilion, with less investment and high returns, wonderful!

Here, Li Jingshan rested for a while, then stood in front of the stage and continued to give alms to the pilgrims.

She was introducing the difference of Bodhi beads to a guest, when she suddenly heard a sharp voice next to her say, "Li Jingshan, you actually work for Jingbao?" ”

Li Jingshan raised her head and couldn't help but sigh that the road was narrow. It turned out to be the pair of Li Jingyao and Ma Jirong.

Li Jingyao's eyes widened, and she said sharply: "Do you know that the Treasure Pavilion and Si Zhenfang are against each other!" You are originally a member of the Li family, but you actually betrayed the lord to seek glory? ”

Li Jingshan sneered. Now that she is the Li family, when she drove her family out of the Li family, she wished that she was not surnamed Li.

She didn't want to make a big fuss in front of the owner, so she only said lightly, "I have been sold into the Ruan family, Young Master Ruan is my master, working for him is not a traitor, and it has nothing to do with seeking glory." ”

"Hmph, if you have milk, you are a mother." Li Jingyao snorted, and the delicate nails that had been groomed were about to poke Li Jingshan's chest, "Sure enough, it's a cheap bone that is only worthy of being a slave!" ”

Li Jingshan dodged the sharp nails sideways, and said in a deep voice: "It's not shameful to sell and be a slave, it's better than those who use trickery to drive their relatives to a dead end." That's not as good as a bird or a beast! ”

"You! Who do you say is inferior to a fowl or a beast? Li Jingyao's face changed greatly, and she was about to have a seizure, when suddenly her eyes turned, her body fell to Ma Jirong, and she cried: "Brother Ji, she actually scolded people with bad words. Help me. ”

Ma Jirong hugged Li Jingyao, patted her hand, pointed at Li Jingshan and said, "You, a seller of fakes and fakes, dare to sell?" What kind of messy Buddha beads are these, could they all be fake, waiting for me to call someone to help you take them away?! ”

"You dare!" Li Jingshan stepped forward and said: "These are the Buddha beads of the Treasure Pavilion, if you dare to move, there will naturally be people from the Treasure Pavilion to theorize!" ”

"Snort——, do you think you can go crazy if you find a backer?" Li Jingyao sneered, "Jingbao Pavilion is the oldest, I'll still smash it!" As he spoke, he was about to lift the stall with the bracelets.

Li Jingshan stepped forward to stop in front of her, not letting her do it, and the guys on the side saw it and hurriedly came over to stop her.

was in a mess, and suddenly a shout stopped everyone: "Stop!" ”
