Chapter 380

After the short and fat merchant finished speaking, he did not immediately enter the courtyard, but stopped on the steps in front of the mountain gate with the slender merchant, and looked at the temple carefully, and saw that above the mountain gate of this temple were written five golden and brilliant characters - Fude Gong Temple, the temple gate is two red gates, the gate is nailed with rows of copper nails, a pair of huge copper rings, look carefully at the pair of copper rings, but see that there is a pair of Pixiu with open mouths and looking up at the sky, through the mountain gate, but see the main hall inside the eaves and arches, looking far away, There seems to be a colorful painting on it, but it is a little far away and cannot be seen clearly, and there are four big golden characters on the side wall - Dharma is boundless!

When the two merchants saw this, they made another comment, and listened to the slender merchant; "I have heard the brothers say that on the day of the consecration of this temple of Fugong, the heavenly Jialan Bodhisattva came to chant the sutra, and the great monk Jiangliu of the Jialan Temple also personally sent his great disciples to chant the sutra, and what is even more strange is that when many monks were concentrating on chanting, a yellow silk fell from the sky."

The tall merchant said this, and the stocky merchant said again; "I heard that the great monk of the Jiangliu Temple of the Jialan Temple is fake, the real Jiangliu great monk has been supercharged by his master Jialan Bodhisattva, in fact, the great monk of Jiangliu is the great disciple of the Jialan Bodhisattva, he seems to be reincarnated in the world because of the unfinished fate, and he has to suffer the pain of reincarnation in order to achieve the right result."

The two merchants pointed and said, stopped, and entered the main hall, and after the two people entered the hall, they didn't look at it, and bowed their heads, and when they got up after worshipping, they put their hands into the purse purse, and it was obvious that they wanted to take out the silver outside, and when they got the silver in their hands, but they didn't see the merit box, the short and fat merchant sighed, and then said; "I haven't seen that there is no merit box in that temple, but this temple is very unexpected, we must find the temple and ask about it."

After the short and fat merchant finished speaking, the two of them circled around the hall again, and just walked out of the gate of the main hall, but saw a little man in green clothes hurriedly walked over, and the short and fat merchant immediately called out to the little man and asked; "Hey, little brother, are you from this temple?"

The little servant had been in a hurry, and seemed to have something important to do, but when he saw that these two well-dressed men, who carried purse-purses on their shoulders, and were very polite to him, were questioning him, he stopped, folded his hands, and replied; "What does the donor command, I am the little guy who does rough work in this temple."

Listening to the little guy's answer, the Humpty Dumpty merchant immediately said; "We came to make merit with incense, but we didn't find the merit box, how do you think this is good?"

The little guy was a little surprised at first when he heard the words of the short and fat merchant, and then replied; "Actually, we are a family temple, but when it was built, all the squires made great efforts to build it so magnificently, but, according to the meaning of my son-in-law, it is still necessary for him to be a son alone to raise the Duke of Fu, but the squires disagreed, no way, my son-in-law moved the merit box to a quiet place, in addition, he also instructed us, we do not accept a large amount of silver, if you give some incense money, you still have to register and pray for blessings, since the two donors are here to make merit in incense, I'd better introduce you to my son-in-law. ”

The little girl's words were clear, and they were in the hands of these two merchants, so I heard them both speak in unison; "That's very good, so please ask the little brother to lead us to meet your son-in-law."

The little servant said, "Please come with me, two of you." ”

Then he led the two merchants across the main hall and walked towards the back, and when they saw a row of rooms that resembled monks' houses, the little servant whispered; "Two donors, please wait, my son-in-law is in the house to persuade a fallen descendant, so I have to ask you to wait a while."

As soon as the little servant finished speaking, the short and fat merchant immediately stepped forward and grabbed the little servant; "Little brother, don't worry, let me ask you, where is the descendant who fell in trouble, what did he do, and why he fell into trouble again."

The little servant was very talkative, and he went up to listen to the movement in the house, and did not seem to hear anything, so he turned away and whispered to the two merchants; "It's a long story, this fallen descendant, it seems that he is a person from Huzhou, he himself said that he was in the silk business, but unexpectedly, the boat went to the depths of the river, was overturned by the big waves, and he escaped alone."

At this point, the little guy paused, looked at it again, and then continued; "You don't know, in order to persuade him not to look for short-sightedness, my son-in-law first found two learned lobbyists, and has persuaded him for a day and a night.

After listening to the little guy's words, the two merchants immediately dragged the little guy aside and said softly; "Little brother, do you say it's a coincidence or not, the two of us are businessmen from Huzhou, and the posterity of the disaster is also from Huzhou, maybe we are still good friends, so you go in and quietly invite your son-in-law out, we will meet your son-in-law, maybe we can still help, at that time, wouldn't your son-in-law be able to save a lot of effort."

The little servant listened to the words of the two merchants and felt very reasonable, so he asked again; "May I ask the two donors with your surnames, I will report to the son truthfully and ask him to decide."

"Our brother's surname is Jin, and he opened a pen workshop in Huzhou, and today he took advantage of the free time of selling pens to come to incense, and asked my brother to tell your son-in-law like this."

When the little girl heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he did not rush into the house, but said again; "This is really in response to the sentence on my son-in-law's lips called "No coincidence is not a book", and the descendant of the relationship is also surnamed Jin, maybe, you are still a family!"

After the little guy said this, he turned around and walked to the door, knocked on the door and walked into the house, and saw the little guy walk into the house, the two merchants outside the door looked at each other, and then, standing outside the door, listening to the movement in the house, after a while, the door opened, and the little guy walked out first, followed by a man with a fat figure, a red face, and a gray monk's robe.

Seeing this man in monk's robes with a blessed face walking out, the two people standing outside the door stepped forward, clasped their hands into fists, and said to the man; "Fortunately, fortunately, to meet the son, it is an honor, an honor!"

The man in the monk's robe immediately returned the salute with a fist; "Zhang Quanyou is polite, please take a step to speak."

They were greeting each other, the little guy had already walked to the door of another room, opened the door, made a polite gesture, and the person who claimed to be Zhang Quanyou led the two businessmen to the door, and they must let the two of them enter the house first, these two people couldn't resist Zhang Quanyou, so they had to turn sideways and clasp their fists into the house.

When they entered the room, the two of them saw that this was originally an elegant reception room, diagonally opposite the door, there was a large rosewood table of eight immortals and four chairs, not far from the table of eight immortals, there was also a set of low stools, a set of antique tea sets were placed in the middle of several stools, two teapots and four small teacups made of Nanni, and near the teapot was a tea tube made of bamboo tubes.

After the little servant let the three of them into the house, he hurriedly ran out, brought a pot of boiling water, picked up the teapot with tea, poured it into the larger teapot, then poured boiling water, and covered the lid, then he retreated to the door with his hands down, and looked at the man in gray monk's robes with his eyes.

At this moment, the still stocky merchant spoke; "Today to know Zhang Gongzi, really three lives lucky, I two are a family of brothers, in Huzhou to open a pen workshop, some time ago by waterway trafficking a batch of wolf pen, today deliberately abandoned the boat ashore, come to meet the prestigious Fu Gong Temple, this is our incense, not a respect, but also hope to smile."

After the short and fat merchant finished speaking, the two of them immediately took out a piece of silver from the purse and put it in front of Zhang Gongzi, who was so panicked that Zhang Gongzi hurriedly stood up, shook his hands and said; "I can't make it, I can't make it clear, I don't know if the little guy has made it clear, this Fude Gong Temple, was originally my family temple in order to fulfill my filial piety, worship the deceased father Zhang Fude, unexpectedly, the process of building the temple alarmed the squire, which made such a big scene, in fact, I was afraid that the money from the audience would damage my father's good deeds, so I deliberately put the merit box in a secluded place, and ask the two to forgive me, take back the silver two, we just drink tea and talk, talk about the young offspring."

The slender merchant, who had not spoken, also stood up at this time, put the silver in front of Zhang Gongzi again, and said; "Our two brothers are admiring the good deeds of Duke Fu throughout his life, so they came to pay homage to his old man, so if you don't accept these incense today, you will refuse us to be outside the mountain gate, so that the people of the world will laugh off their big teeth when they hear it, and they think that Zhang Gongzi is a stingy person, for fear that others will be touched by the blessing of Duke Fu."

Hearing the words of the slender merchant, Fu Gong showed a look of embarrassment, and after a while, he said; "Little guy, go and invite Mr. Ji in the house, leave Master Zhao to continue to persuade that junior, Jin Yuan, and then, you tell the back kitchen to prepare a sumptuous vegetarian meal this morning, and the meal must be opened in half an hour."

After Zhang Gongzi finished ordering, the little servant agreed, opened the door and walked out, and then Zhang Gongzi looked at the two businessmen opposite and said; "I just heard a few brief introductions from the little guy, it seems that the two of them are also surnamed Jin, and they are still from Huzhou, but I don't know if you recognize the Jin surname Housheng."
