Chapter VII
Lan Zipeng has been sick since he was a child and has no cure, and his parents and family have no choice but to foster him in the temple for ten years before he recovers from his karmic illness. At the beginning, Young Master Bao was fostered in this 'Dharma Temple', so he often came back to participate in Dharma enlightenment after that.
When Tianxing was a child, he followed his parents to live in the temple for a few days every year to get in touch with some Buddhist culture, his talent is very high, and he is not wanton, he knows how to advance and retreat, and he can participate in it without saying it, although his status is noble, and he never speaks in vain. Therefore, his prestige in the eyes of the Lan clan is very high, and he is the most outstanding patriarch of the Lan family for hundreds of years.
In the past 300 years, the temple has been gradually renovated and expanded by the descendants of the next generation, and in modern times, it has been run by the clan as an industry to welcome guests, and the incense is still quite vigorous every fasting day or during the New Year's holidays.
Ji Lang stopped the car about half a mile away from the temple, and saw that Tianxing didn't want to get out of the car, so he had to remind, "Young master, do you want me to accompany you in?" ”。
"Oh? Oh... Don't be..."Tianxing sat in the car and hesitated slightly for a while, trying to adjust his low mood, at this time his heart was very sad, and he didn't want to face Yuwen who was seriously ill, he was afraid that his bad mood would make Uncle Wen stressed.
Tianxing looked at his face in the rearview mirror and made sure that it looked normal before he entered the mountain gate of the temple alone, but he did not go to the main hall to worship the Buddha, but walked along the path between the flowers, bypassing the main hall and walking towards a remote independent courtyard in the northwest corner.
Probably due to the weather and season, there are very few pilgrims in the temple to pray for blessings, and only a few young monks are sprinkling and sweeping the court, and the huge temple looks a little deserted.
The sky was very gloomy, and the howling north wind blew up the remnants of red dead leaves scattered in the air, and they fell chaotically, adding a bit of coolness and coldness to this century-old courtyard.
In the courtyard stood a thin young monk, wearing a wide monk's robe on his body to make him look very haggard, although he held a broom in his hand and did not do his best to clean it, but looked up at the dark clouds in the distance, the sky was low, and his quiet and indifferent expression seemed to be meditating on something.
Tianxing walked in all the way and took the broom in his hand and then cleaned it, and the accumulated fallen leaves were scattered by the strong and cold north wind, and soon covered half of the courtyard, no wonder the monk who was sweeping the floor was lazy, such weather was really not suitable for hygiene.
The fallen leaves in the courtyard were swept up and blown away, and then they were piled up together and blown away again, so boring and laborious and completely unable to see a little work efficiency, if there is still someone who has been insisting on doing it, that person is either a brainless fool or a wise man with a wise heart.
"Don't sweep..."Yu Wen finally turned around and went to the meditation room, and said lightly, "Come in and have a cup of hot tea...".
"Good!" Tianxing put down the broom and followed in, this kind of weather should indeed drink a cup of hot tea to drive away the cold.
Yu Wen has changed a lot, the bright and black 'Three Thousand Troubles Silk' has long been shaved, and his gray face has a bit of a sick look, and he can hardly see the shadow of the cold and glamorous beauty back then.
Tianxing took the teapot in Yu Wen's hand and filled the two empty cups on the table, and asked with great concern, "Uncle Wen, your face is not good, I have already said hello to Huadong, you better go to the hospital, at least in the hospital...".
"No, you don't! I've already decided on this matter, you know my temper, you don't need to persuade me anymore..."Yuwen didn't wait for him to finish before he refused without tactfulness, "I've been delayed for fifteen years, if it weren't for your mother asking me to stay and take care of you... I should have gone with her fifteen years ago...".
"But Uncle Wen..."Tianxing still wanted to persuade him again, Yuwen looked at him with a cup and asked again, "Tianxing, do you have something to find me?" ”。
Tianxing paused for a moment, a little hesitant, he wasn't sure if he could ask the answer he wanted, so he didn't want to say more.
"Fifteen years ago... Young Master Bao Lan Zipeng died of illness, and your mother went with him that night..."Yu Wen sighed, "I am your mother's dowry girl, no matter where she is, I should be by her side." So according to the rules, I should have followed fifteen years ago...".
"Those rules... After all, it's a bit old, so why force yourself to obey it? Tianxing persuaded, "Didn't you say before that you would help me take care of the children after I got married and had children?" But Uncle Wen, I haven't married a wife yet, you won't just talk about fooling me, you want to be irresponsible, right? ”。
"So what? Say... Your business? Yuwen turned his head to look at Tianxing, and there was indeed a lot of nostalgia in his soft eyes.
"Oh... Uncle Wen, you... What do you want to say? Tianxing had no choice but to stop joking and sit down to drink tea in a decent manner. Because Yu Li's physical condition is slightly worse, he was served by Yuwen when he was a child, and the relationship between them is also a bit like a master and a father.
Yuwen kept looking at him, and a very satisfied smile still appeared on his tired face, "You have really grown up!" It's better and more perfect than your mother expected, and it's not in vain that she would rather give up herself than give birth to you...".
"Oh..."Tianxing was stunned for a moment, and Lan Ruo also said the same thing. It seems to say that in order to give birth to his son, Yu Li left everything he had, but he left this world.
But his mother died when he was fifteen years old, the same day as his father Lan Zipeng, if the truth is what Lan Ruo and Yu Wen said, then who is that Yu Li?
"A lot of your talents were left to you by your mother, who gave all her abilities to your father and son... But she has no reservations about herself, so she... will leave in such a hurry, so that I can't see Brother Sheng's last face..."Yu Wen sighed sadly, "How much does she owe you, and she has to repay it in this way?" ”。
Tianxing was confused, so he asked, "Are you saying that the mother I met is not my real biological mother?" And my biological father... Someone else, isn't it? I... It can't be picked up by my dad or adopted as an orphan, right? ”。
"Well, how could you think that?" Yu Wen was a little stunned when asked, he was just lamenting the impermanence of the world and reminiscing about the past by the way, and he didn't want to shake his idea of the hegemony of the Lan family's eldest young master.
Tianxing was also stunned, "Uncle Wen, you... What exactly do you want to say? ”。
"Oh... It's nothing... I mean, if your mom saw you today, she would be very happy! Yuwen also knew that he had said too much, so he could only try to be logical.
'People will go and be good', people who may not be around for a long time will unconsciously show this kind of nostalgic plot when they see their loved ones, so Tianxing smiled and didn't ask more.
"Ji Sanye, you've come to look for me..."Yu Wen turned his head to look out the window again, and the north wind was still whistling outside, and the sky was full of broken flowers and leaves, looking very chaotic and desolate.
Tianxing smiled again but didn't continue to ask, he also knew that he couldn't ask the result.
"If he thinks it's time to show up for you, he'll come to you..."Yuwen continued, "He's definitely thinking about you when he doesn't see you, don't bother them!" ”。
"Them?" Tianxing was stunned again, "Why he... Is it two people? "When he chased after him that day, he did see another person in the SUV.
Yuwen just coughed a few times and didn't answer, he said too much.
"Uncle Wen..."Tianxing stood up and put his arm on his shoulder and asked, "Why don't you go to the hospital, at least your illness will be more effective there...".
Yuwen still didn't wait for him to finish before he shook his head and refused, "I want to stay here, Tianxing, if you want to be filial, just do what I want, don't say more...".
"Uncle Wen, don't let me watch..."Tianxing wanted to persuade a few more words, but Yuwen's gaze fell back to his face with some surprise, "The corners of your eyes and eyebrows are full of joy, Tianxing, you... Is it 'Red Luan Star Moving'? ”。
"What?" Tianxing was confused again, and Uncle Wen's words today always shocked him, "Isn't 'Hongluan' the legendary marriage star?" Oh... Uncle Wen, do you mean to say... Can you put it more simply? ”。
Yuwen also seemed to be a little surprised, smiled and replied, "Mr. Gu happens to be in the temple, you go to him to ask, he knows these aspects best, and will give you a satisfactory answer...".
"Oh? What are you talking about... It's true? Am I married? Tianxing could see from Yuwen's expression that he was very surprised, he was really happy for himself, Uncle Wen, who was seriously ill and had already taken life and death and wealth very lightly, had been loving and caring for him as his own son for so many years.
Now I can see that Lan Tianxing has someone by his side to accompany him, marry a wife and have children, even if he dies on the day he doesn't care.
