At this moment, the poor little scholar couldn't help but say loudly, "Lord...... Master......? ”

Bian Fanzhi glanced at him coldly, noncommittal.

The little scholar hurriedly knelt down again, but he had to say loudly: "Master, there is a steward outside who has sent you a letter, saying that there is a very important matter, please reply immediately." ”

Bian Fanzhi nodded slightly, and the little scholar suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly handed over the letter.

These subordinates are really embarrassed, help outsiders to report, if you provoke the master unpleasantly, you can't eat and walk around; But if you don't help that person report, if you really miss a big thing, the master will ask afterwards, and you will be the unlucky one, which is really a dilemma.

While thinking, he quietly peeked into his master's expression.

But when he saw that the master, who had always been expressionless, read the letter, his face was pale, his eyes were confused, and his hands trembled slightly, obviously very excited.

Although he was sorry for his master, he was relieved, it seemed that he was really right and did not send this letter in vain.

Sure enough, Bian Fanzhi immediately shouted: "Who sent the letter?" What about people? ”

The little scholar replied neatly, "Master, people are waiting at the door, saying that they are waiting for your reply." ”

Reply?!

Bian Fanzhi was immediately surprised that the other party was not good, and hurriedly ordered: "I'll go out immediately, you let the people outside watch him first, don't let him run away." ”

The little scholar hurriedly got up and said, "Yes," and went out with a smoke.

Bian Fanzhi still had ink on his hands, but he was in a hurry, so he hurriedly walked out without even washing his hands, and walked straight to the main entrance of the mansion.

Although Nankang is a remote and very peaceful state and county, there are not many soldiers in front of the official residence, and when Bian Fanzhi walked to the door, he saw that the people at the door were in a hurry, guarding the door, and patrolling, none of them were standing at their posts, but arguing noisily.

He coughed lightly dissatisfied, and the little guy beside him was understanding, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Bian Mingfu is here in person, you guys are not ready to stand up soon." ”

Everyone was shocked, and the soldier headed by him seemed to be a small officer, so he knelt down first and saluted to his master: "Ming Mansion, the person you ordered someone to pursue was let go by Guo Mou, who was guarding the door, so his subordinates are reasoning with him, so I didn't see you coming, it's really rude, please forgive me." ”

That Guo Mou was already so angry that his face turned red, and he knelt down to defend himself: "Master, the little one is just a janitor, and it is the duty of the little one not to let outsiders enter our mansion at will, how can we blame the little one for this?" In comparison, Brother Zhang, who is in charge of patrolling, should stop that person, do you think this is the reason? ”

Only then did Bian Fanzhi realize that the person who sent the letter had already left, and both of them were afraid of their own punishment, so they quarreled regardless of it.

He was in a state of confusion, and when the two of them saw that he didn't speak, they squeezed each other up with a word, and the door of this official residence was like a vegetable market, noisy, and although the passers-by around didn't dare to gather around to see the excitement, they were also talking from afar, pointing and pointing.

Bian Fan hurriedly said: "Don't argue anymore, go back to your posts, I have my own opinions on this matter." ”

Seeing that the chief did not punish him, the two did not dare to make any more trouble, so they hurriedly retreated.

Bian Fanzhi's mind was delicate, he stood in front of the door, looking at the people around him with inquiring eyes, and thought slowly in his heart. What does this messenger mean? The handwriting on this letter is undoubtedly the handwriting of his daughter's family, but the two little sisters in the family have been separated since childhood, and now someone has come to the door because of this, what is the purpose?

Yu'er and Qian'er, when they were children, were very favored by their mothers, but now, even their parents don't know where they are, even if they ask the county prince to help, they can't find it, and their two younger sisters, how can they find themselves?

He shook his head helplessly, and was about to go back to the house to wait and see what would happen: if he thought that the person who sent the letter, or the person behind the scenes, would definitely come to him again if he wanted something, and it would be useless for him to worry about it.

However, inadvertently looked up, but saw that under the eaves of the tea stall opposite, a monk was raising a glass, looking at himself coldly, although the person covered his forehead with a cloak, but could not hide the bright and delicate eyes, his gaze, seems to have a faint brilliance in circulation, seems to be full of indifference to see through the world, and seems to contain full of wisdom and enlightenment, which makes people leisurely fascinated.

If it were a normal day, he would definitely not care about these ordinary monks, but at this time, he was somewhat willing to believe in the theory of karma, after the family was exiled to Jiangdong due to the war, if it were not for the blue eyes of the county prince by chance and the protection of him, he might not be able to stand in this position now.

And today, my sister, who thought she had died a long time ago, might still be alive and well, and if she was still there, she would be of marriageable age now......

While thinking, he withdrew from the servants beside him, slowly stepped forward, sat down opposite the monk, bowed respectfully, and asked sincerely: "Master, the Buddha said that karma will meet and will produce fruits, and he also said that karma is empty, so what exactly is karma?" ”

This disguised monk is naturally Hagi Niang, but her original plan was to take the initiative to ask for a meeting when Bian Fan was at a loss and answer his questions, but she didn't expect him to come to the front by himself and ask such a strange question.

If you are an ordinary monk, you can answer this question with scriptures, but you have never studied Buddhism......

She was silent on her face, but she was quickly thinking in her heart, if she couldn't even answer this question, how could she attract his attention?

She doesn't know the Buddhist terminology, so she can only make up stories...... She smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "Laymen can know the cause, and they must have studied Buddhism, so they won't drop their bookbags in the future, so I'll give you an example......"

She glanced at Bian Fan quietly, and felt that he was indeed very young, but he was not stupid and deceitful, and she couldn't help but be a little more wary in her heart, although the other party had a peaceful look of interest, she didn't dare to underestimate him.

"Fate is everything around you, a piece of clothing, a piece of jade pendant, a person, a mosquito, all are fate."

"Cause, is the thing in your heart, your favorite clothes, the jade pendant you wear every day, the dearest and beloved person, for you, it is to have a reason with you. And what you don't care about is that there is no cause. ”

When she said "dearest and beloved person", Bian Fanzhi looked at her deeply, thoughtfully, and when she finished speaking, he showed a confused look and asked: "So, if what I am thinking in my heart, but it is not by my side, is it considered a cause, or is there no karma?" ”
