Jijin explained, "Knowing that the county lord is returning, the poor monks and apprentices should prepare in advance. ”

Xiao Nuan heard a question mark on her face, how did she feel that they were in a hurry to go to Nanshan Pass more than herself? "Don't hide it from the master, the house of the temple in Nanshan Pass has not yet been fully capped, although it can be fully capped before freezing, but the newly built house is damp and not warm, and it has to be dried, so it is advisable to move in before summer next year."

"It's okay, just smoke it to get rid of the moisture." Jijin said with a smile.

This is a little wrong, the last time I asked Yuantong, he said that his master still didn't agree to go to Nanshan Pass, why was he suddenly so anxious? Xiaocao quietly asked Yuantong, "Are you in trouble?" ”

Yuantong scratched his little bald head embarrassedly, "Last night, the little monk dozed off when he was burning the fire, and accidentally burned the stove room. Uncle Zhizang was angry and wanted to drive the little monk to the Kuya Cave to practice for 100 days, but the master was reluctant to enter Yuantong, so he came out with Yuantong. ”

Go up in flames? Xiaocao's eyes lit up, "Did you burn the kitchen on purpose?" ”

Yuantong immediately clasped his hands together and replied with great sincerity, "Amitabha, the monks don't speak, and the little monk really accidentally fell asleep, so he didn't look at the fire." ”

Their whispers were not small, and everyone could hear them clearly. Zhizhen counted his prayer beads one by one, and Qin looked at Xiao Yuantong distressedly, this child is only ten years old, why does he carry water and firewood every day, and boil water and cook at night? Is there such a shortage of people to work in Yongfuji Temple?

There are no less than a few hundred monks in Yongfu Temple, and there are many monks in the room, so many people can let Yuantong burn the room, which is a bit strange. But she didn't ask anything, just smiled, "The kitchen can be rebuilt if it burns, and it's a blessing that Master Yuantong didn't burn." Master, there is still one thing we have not done in Beijing: the "Warm Agricultural Classic" written by my mother is being reviewed by the Ministry of Industry Tuntian Langzhong, and after the audit is correct, we can set off. It definitely won't take ten days, why don't the master take Yuantong to live in the fourth village these days? You can also see that there are large places here, and some of them are houses. ”

Yuantong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he pulled his master's monk's robe and swayed, "Master......"

Zhizhen, who was about to refuse, nodded, "Then it will bother the county lord." ”

Xiao Nuan said with a smile, "Master, Xiao Nuan is a disciple of Shangqing Palace, and the master calls the Dao name of the Poor Dao 'Jiuqing'." Buddhism and Taoism are of the same origin, and we are also a family. ”

Although the Buddhism in the capital is fierce, Zhizhen is still good, "Amitabha, please ask the Jiuqing Taoist to teach a lot in the future." ”

Xiao Nuan made a Dao sign, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the time to enter the poor path is short, and I can't talk about teaching, so I will ask Master Zhizhen for more advice in the future." ”

Seeing her sister and Master Zhizhen like this, Xiaocao thought it was funny, and covered her mouth and laughed silently.

The Qin family immediately asked people to clean up a courtyard for Zhizhen's master and apprentice, and asked Zhizhen, "Is the master and Yuantong going to eat our meal, or just to build a stove for you and Yuantong?" ”

Monks do not eat meat, and they are always more particular about eating. Zhizhen was grateful to the Qin clan for thinking thoughtfully, stood up and thanked him, "Yuantong, the poor monk still has an apprentice, if you eat...... The poor monk asked him to bring two monks to do it, and he didn't dare to bother Anren to help cook. ”

Hearing that two monks were coming, Xiao Nuan and Xiao Cao's eyes lit up, and the rice at Eifukuji Temple was said to be very delicious!

Unexpectedly, the master suddenly agreed to take the three nephews in the room, and Yuantong climbed on his master in surprise, "Master! ”

Zhizhen skillfully hugged the round little apprentice, "For the teacher, you must know how to make tofu and how to steam steamed buns." ”

"Master!" Yuantong was very happy, hugging the master and spoiling, this looks like a pair of father and son filial piety.

In the afternoon of the same day, Du Tong, the eldest disciple of Zhizhen, took his two teachers and nephews to the fourth village and stayed in the courtyard. Because of the monks, the Qin family is no longer able to float the smell of meat all over the yard, and they only eat somen noodles at noon. In the evening, Xiao Nuan, Xiaocao and Rhubarb squatted at the door of the cross-courtyard kitchen, waiting for the meal.

Yuantong's senior brother Dutong was thin and tall, with a pair of very small eyes on his long face, and when he smiled, he showed a pair of snow-white front teeth, looking inexplicably happy. Du Tong beckoned Xiao Nuan and Xiao Cao to sit on the stool, and then introduced tonight's meal, "Jiuqing Daoist, Xiao Cao Girl, the tofu we ate tonight was brought by the little monk from the temple. The beans were planted by the little monk with his junior brothers and nephews, and the grains were full; The water used to soak the tofu is mountain spring water picked by Yuantong, which is sweet and clear. Tonight, let's eat stewed tofu with cabbage, braised tofu, fried bean dregs with eggs, and radish soup. ”

"Wang!" Rhubarb was very unhappy to see that there was no one.

Du Tong added, "The rhubarb donor also came to try it. ”

Rhubarb stared at the kitchen again and drooled, making the two fire-headed monks inside nervous.

It's so fragrant, Xiaocao wiped the corners of her mouth, "It's hard work, brothers." ”

Yuantong corrected, "Xiaocao, it's a nephew, not a brother." ”

Yes, she can't be younger than Yuantong, so much shameless, Xiaocao immediately changed her words, "It's hard work for the two teachers and nephews." ”

The eldest "nephew" of the two juniors in the kitchen looked back at the little uncle and smiled helplessly.

Xiao Nuan swallowed her saliva, "Senior Brother Dutong, is your tofu here enough to eat?" If it's not enough, the poor road will let people buy some back, and there is a tofu maker in the next village. ”

Du Tong's small eyes narrowed, "Jiuqing Daoist don't worry, it's enough." ”

Yuantong, who was squatting next to him, added, "My senior brother brought five drawers of tofu and a bag of soybeans, and my senior brother is the most capable." ”

Du Tong said modestly, "It's not enough, tomorrow the little monk will go and pull a cart over, this soybean is planted by the little monk, and there are some radishes and cabbage that can fill three carts, I don't know if there is a spare place for the carriage of the Jiuqing Dao chief?" The little monk can only get a carriage, which is really ashamed. ”

It's too dry, is there any! Listening to this, it seems that the master and apprentice of Dutong and Yongfu Temple had some unhappiness, Xiao Nuan, who is a Taoist disciple, did not ask much, but said briskly, "Poor Daoyun four cars for you to use!" ”

Three cars pull vegetables, two pull luggage and people, and he can take more things with him! The Taoist of Jiuqing is different from the Taoist priest in the Xuanmiaoguan, he is really good! Du Tong exposed a whole pair of front teeth, "In this way, the poor road will be ashamed." ”

Yuantong muttered, "Senior brother, let's only bring food, not some Buddhist scriptures?" ”

Dutong clasped his hands together, accepted the smile and said solemnly, "Amitabha, junior brother, the Nanshan Pass Dizang Bodhisattva Temple is a gift from the saint, how can there be no Buddhist scriptures?" Jiuqing Daoist, don't you say? ”

Xiao Nuan clapped his hands, absolutely not! She likes this shrewd monk, and she really wants to dig into the shop to do things! "Senior Brother Dutong is right!"

"This little matter doesn't have to trouble the saint to ask in person, tomorrow if Jiuqing Dao is long, let's go to Honglu Temple, find Honglu Temple Qing Lord Xu to do it, and the little monk will also do all the things of my master and apprentice by the way."

It is the identity certificate issued by Honglu Temple to the family monks, and with the degree, the monks can be exempted from land taxes and forced labor. Dutong master and apprentice were transferred from Yongfu Temple to Nanshan Pass, and Du Mu had to do it again, which is equivalent to changing the location of the household registration in modern times and needing to re-apply for an ID card. Xiao Nuan proposed, "If it doesn't work out tomorrow, the poor Dao has to go to the palace to ask the saint to give the temple name to Nanshan Pass, and then go to Honglu Temple to do the work." Senior Brother Dutong may wish to take advantage of tomorrow to make a list of the Buddhist scriptures you want, so that Lord Xu can handle them according to the order. ”

Good way! Du Tong looked at Xiao Nuan with pity, and said happily, "Amitabha, Jiuqing's concerns are very thorough, and the little monk is ashamed of himself." ”

"Where, where ......"

The two looked at each other and smiled, both had the feeling of finding the same kind, and chatted very happily.

"Wang, Wang, Wang!" The rhubarb lying next to him suddenly screamed and ran out, startling the freshly kneaded steamed buns in the kitchen's hands and falling to the ground.
