Chapter 287: Nuns
Jiang Shuangliu thought about it carefully and shook his head: "No, at least I haven't heard of it." ”
"Old Jiang, can you be sure?" Xiao Ren asked.
Jiang Shuangliu looked up at the roof of the small restaurant, his nostrils were furled, and Xiao Ren couldn't bear to look at it.
"No, I definitely haven't heard of the imperial family surnamed Yan, not only among the imperial family, but also among the officials who fled from the capital."
"Since it's the emperor, could it be the branch of the king of Qianyun County?" Xiao Ren reminded.
"The branch of the King of Qianyun County? I remember that in order to win over the five major tribes, except for the concubine, all the local barbarian women were recruited, and the surname Yan looked like a Han person. Jiang Shuangliu continued to deny it.
The main family of the king of Qianyun County is his own cousin, and his father is just an ordinary official from the fifth grade.
As Jiang Shuangliu said, most of the relatives of the Qianyun County King are barbarian women, while the surname Yan is a Han surname.
"Qishao, why do you ask about this? Where did you hear that there was a man surnamed Yan? Jiang Shuangliu was puzzled.
Xiao Ren didn't speak, he got up and walked out, Jiang Shuangliu looked at his back and muttered, "What kind of stinky temper is this, just leave." ”
Xiao Ren is gone, of course Jiang Shuangliu doesn't want to stay here alone and drink alcohol, he is ready to go home.
But as soon as he got together, the guy ran over: "General Jiang, Cheng Hui three taels." ”
......
Xiao Ren left in a hurry, preparing to tell Shen Tong the news he got from Jiang Shuangliu.
But Shen Tong was not in the shop.
Xiao Ren went to Shuyuan Street again, and it was Fang Fei who came to open the door.
This is the first time Xiao Ren has come to Shen's house to knock on the door, Fang Fei was startled when she saw that it was him, and before Xiao Ren could speak, Fang Fei said, "There is no one at home." ”
Then, with a bang, the two doors closed tightly.
Fang Fei was stunned, only then did she realize that her performance was too intense, although the young lady told her not to let outsiders in, but it seems that Xiao Qishao should not be included in this outsider.
So she opened the door again, but it was empty, and Xiao Ren was already gone.
Shen Tong is discussing with Xu An, Lu You, and Wang Shuangxi.
Wang Shuangxi said: "Xinyu has not come out since she entered Deyin Temple, I quietly went to check, there are two female nuns living in Deyin Temple, the older one is fifty years away, and the younger one is in his early thirties. They were originally just borrowed, but they know the truth, people are also sleek, there are often noble female dependents in the Deyin Temple, the abbot of the temple asked the two of them to help receive, accompany those ladies chanting the scriptures and saying Zen, come and go, they lived in the temple, it has been half a year, usually live in the women's temporary residence of the lay squatters, Xin Yu came to the Deyin Temple, also lived there. ”
Shen Tong remembered the young monk she had seen last time when she followed Xinyu to Deyin Temple, so she said, "That monk named Huineng seems to have only come half a year ago, right?" ”
That time, Shen Tong unexpectedly met Tu Wei in Deyin Temple, and although Tu Wei changed his appearance, she still heard his voice.
It's a pity that there was no news of Tu Wei later, and it was not easy for a person who was good at disguise to find him.
But Shen Tong inquired about Monk Huineng.
Huineng was originally a monk in a very small mountain temple in Shanxi, and then the mountain fire burned the temple, the master also passed away in the fire, the two younger brothers were adopted by kind-hearted pilgrims, he was older, and did not want to return to the vulgar, so he came all the way to Xi'an, Deyin Temple incense flourished, since he was not afraid of raising a few more monks, he stayed in Deyin Temple, worshiped the monk Mingzhen of the temple as a teacher.
Wang Shuangxi nodded yes and said, "Soon after Huineng came, the two nuns came, and there were no nuns in Deyin Temple, so they could only place orders." ”
Xinyu goes to Deyin Temple on the fifteenth day of the new year, although the Huang family goes less, but every year to Deyin Temple incense silver is also a lot, Xinyu to find a name to live in Deyin Temple is also normal, besides, she also lives in a layman's dormitory, and it happens that the two nuns also live there.
Shen Tong said with a smile: "Then tonight I will go to Deyin Temple to worship the female Bodhisattva." ”
There was no moon tonight, it was gloomy, and I could faintly hear the thunder in the distance.
Outside the squatter room, a slender figure knocked on the door a few times, two light and one heavy,
The door opened from the inside, and it was opened by a girl even more slender than her, only twelve or thirteen years old, tender and raw, like a willow branch that has just budded in spring.
The figure glared at the girl, ignored her, and walked in.
A thick cloth was hung on the inside of the window, and the figures projected on the window paper were tightly obscured, and the room became brighter and brighter.
The figure walked under the lamp, found a comfortable chair and sat down, and her figure was fully visible in the light.
She is not tall, but very slender, with a long face, willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, fair skin, if it were not for the monk's robe on her body and a smooth scalp exposed under the monk's robe, then she would be a typical Jiangnan girl.
The woman sitting opposite her was also dressed as a monk, but she was older, white and fat, and when she didn't smile, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she looked very pleasing.
The young nun sat down with a grin, and the old nun looked at her and said to the girl, "Go and pour her a cup of herbal tea, and let her cool off." ”
The girl obediently brought the herbal tea, but the young nun waved her hand and knocked it over, and the herbal tea splashed the girl's body, and she hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe it.
"What kind of fire did you send at her?" The old nun said displeasedly.
"Shouldn't I be angry at her? It's not that she's useless, I need to travel more than 100 miles in a day? The young nun complained angrily.
"Then you can't blame her, she is still a child, and she didn't grow up in the camp, and it won't be easy for her to hold on until now," said the old nun, glancing at the girl, "Go back to your own house." ”
The girl sobbed quietly and stood still.
"Why don't you get out of here, crying, is it useful to cry? Get out of here, I'm in a hurry to clean you up! The young nun said viciously, and shook her fist at the girl.
The girl's feet seemed to be on the ground, and she asked in a low voice, "Sister B, have you seen my mother?" How is she doing, is she okay? ”
"Phew! Return your mother, your mother, your mother's size, you have been blasted out by other people's own daughters, do you still think you are Shen Tong? The young nun named Yisi scoffed.
"I am Shen Tong, I am! Now it's not Shen Tong at all, if she is Shen Tong, A-Niang won't guard against her in everything, let alone poison her, and take the opportunity to let her detainees go. The girl's voice gradually became louder and left, although she was still crying, but there was no longer the only way to be submissive.
"Are you embarrassed to say this? Shen Tong locked people up on Shuyuan Street for such a big thing, a useless weak woman in the Huang family can find out, you didn't know until the person was rescued? If it weren't for Yi San to stop me, I would have chopped off your idiot's head with a knife! The more the young nun talked, the more angry she became, and by the time they found out about it, Xinyu had already run into Deyin Temple like a lost dog.
"I said, I'm Shen Tong, she's not, she's not worthy! I've been Shen Tong since I can remember, and I am! ”
