Shenshan Temple is located in the west of Quanjiao County, which was built in the Tang Dynasty and is considered a thousand-year-old temple. The nine mountains of the sacred mountain surround the main peak, also known as the Nine Dragons Panzhu, the main peak is ancient and towering to the sky, the peak turns around, the spring water trickles, the smoke lingers, it is the place of cultivation. In addition to the Shenshan Temple that belongs to Zen Buddhism, there is also a Taoist temple built by the cave of the White Stone Taoist cultivating immortals, and the mountain is full of people on the fifteenth day of the first month.

The fifth young grandmother of the Liu family invited the two girls of the Zhao family plus Ruixue to go to the temple to offer incense, and the four of them took a carriage, and at the foot of the mountain, they were replaced by two people and carried them up.

Zhao Xiyun smiled and said to Rui Xue, who was following him: "You better come up, this mountain is too steep." ”

Ruixue tied a flower casually and handed it to Zhao Xiyun: "It's boring to sit on it and not pick flowers." She picked another flower and handed it to Zhao Xixiao, who was looking around.

Zhao Xixiao grabbed Ruixue's hand and whispered, "There is water and birds, listen." ”

Rui Xue nodded repeatedly, looked around for a while, pointed to a treetop and said, "There, there, have you seen it?" ”

Zhao Xixiao nodded again and again, she was attracted by the delicacy of the mountain, as soon as she entered the mountain, she felt a cool air rushing to her face, and her whole body was cool. From time to time, the sound of the water came to her ears, and then the wildflowers on the side of the mountain road, she felt her heart skip out.

Rui Xue ran to Zhao Xiyun again and said with a smile: "It's so cool here, it's going to heat me up for the past two days." ”

Zhao Xiyun nodded: "Don't run anymore, let's sit with me." You're just getting better if you're suffering from heat stroke. ”

Rui Xue nodded and sat with Zhao Xiyun.

The three girls had never been to the temple, and seeing that everything was fresh, Zhao Xixiao recited a few verses in front of Mrs. Zhao's second wife, knew the gestures of worshiping the Buddha, and taught Zhao Xiyun and Ruixue on the side, and whispered what Nobita was, and said some things about the Buddha and Guanyin.

After worshipping, he took a tael of silver from his purse and donated it as merit money: "It is good to donate merit or add sesame oil, and the Buddha blesses us." He said to the monk on the side, "Amitabha."

The monk immediately recited the Buddha with one hand, and praised Zhao Xixiao's heart very much.

Zhao Xiyun listened to Rui Xue, and also took money from her purse, but Rui Xue took out a few copper coins, she was afraid that if she had less, others would be unhappy, but she didn't want to know that the guest monk still smiled and took it.

"Have you made a wish to the Buddha?"

"Make a wish?"

Zhao Xixiao whispered: "Making a wish to the Buddha is the most spiritual, and the Buddha can hear our words." ”

Qiu, who had just stood up from the kneeling mat, said with a smile: "Yes, you guys are asking for it quickly." ”

Zhao Xiyun hurriedly asked, "Can you ask for anything?" ”

Qiu Shi nodded, and took two coins of silver as merit money.

Zhao Xiyun and Rui Xue hurriedly knelt down again, the two of them kowtowed decently, closed their eyes, put their hands together, and said: "Ask the Buddha ......"

Zhao Xixiao hurriedly stopped: "If you say it, it won't work." ”

The two of them hurriedly stuck out their tongues, smiled embarrassedly, and made a wish again.

"What did you promise?"

"What about you?"

The three girls were chattering so unhappy. Qiu smiled and stopped them: "The Buddha Gate is quiet, no noise." Let's take a look at the back. ”

The Four Heavenly Kings, Manjushri Puxian...... One by one, they bowed down. Qiu told them many stories, and the children were very happy.

Later, Liu Ping led Zhao Xihou over, and there was another person beside him, that person Rui Xue took a look and knew that he got along very well with Zhao Xihou.

Zhao Xixiao hurriedly hid behind Zhao Xiyun, and Zhao Xiyun was somewhat unaccustomed to it, so he moved himself behind Qiu's back.

Le Fengyi stepped forward to greet Qiu, and her eyes were all fixed on Rui Xue's body: "I saw you last time." ”

Rui Xue was embarrassed by him, and hid behind Qiu's back.

Zhao Xihou slapped his fan: "Take your eyes off me." ”

Le Fengyi shook her fan and sighed: "Today is really a feast for the eyes." Later, I saw the maid who came forward to cover Zhao Xiyun's sisters, and even accepted her playboy style, and put on a humble gentleman's appearance, "Xiaosheng is abrupt, please forgive me." ”

Seeing him like that, Liu Ping couldn't help but laugh dryly, and pushed him: "Okay, okay." Know that you know etiquette. ”

The three men walked in front of the head, and Qiu followed the three little girls in the background.

Zhao Xixiao tightened Ruixue's hand a little uncomfortably, and asked Zhao Xiyun: "Fifth sister, this ......"

Zhao Xiyun also looked a little cramped and grabbed Zhao Xixiao's hand: "I don't know, Grandma Liu, what's going on?" ”

Qiu was also particularly surprised by Le Fengyi's arrival, and she said apologetically: "It's mine, no." I wanted a few of us to come out, but I didn't want it to be like this. ”

Zhao Xixiao pulled the corner of Zhao Xiyun's clothes, with a slight cry: "Fifth sister, let's go back." ......," she said, cautiously glancing at the people following her.

Zhao Xiyun also felt a little bad: "Grandma Liu, let's go back." ”

Qiu Shi thought for a while and said, "It's okay, let's go back." I'm going to say hello to the prime minister. ”

Zhao Xihou saw that they didn't follow, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The mother-in-law who followed Zhao Xixiao smiled and said, "Third Young Master, the girl is already a big girl, and it is time to avoid suspicion." Now that I have worshiped the Bodhisattva, I can go back. ”

Zhao Xihou said unhappily: "What are you interjecting?" Saying that, he stepped forward and pulled Zhao Xixiao, "Seventh sister, don't be afraid, these are all my classmates, and they are not people I don't know." This younger brother of Grandma Liu, Zi Tan; This is Lent. The fifth sister should have heard it. ”

Zhao Xiyun quietly poked his head out, quickly swept the few people, and shrank back.

Qiu Duanfu just smiled when he saw it, Le Fengyi couldn't hold it back, and laughed: "Your sister is so funny." ”

Zhao Xixiao was so anxious that she cried: "Fifth sister, let's go back!" ”

Zhao Xihou said unhappily: "What are you crying about?" Let's come together, how can there be a reason for you to go first? What are the etiquettes you learn on a daily basis? ”

Le Fengyi stopped Zhao Xihou and criticized: "How can you be a brother?" He smiled and said to Zhao Xixiao, "Miss Zhao Qi is not afraid. There is a curtain in the dining place, if it is still inappropriate, please ask Grandma Liu to take you to the next room to eat, okay? ”

Zhao Xixiao looked at Zhao Xiyun and Qiu Shi timidly, and then looked at Zhao Xihou, so he had to say, "Don't bother so much." ”

Le Fengyi gave her a deep look and said with a smile: "Thank you, girl." But there are many people who come out to make incense, if they don't live for this sight, there are not many people left in this world. ”

Rui Xue couldn't hold back her laughter all of a sudden, and Zhao Xiyun boldly looked at this funny scholar, while Zhao Xixiao still lowered his head, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

The monk led them to sit down in a monk's room. As Le Fengyi said, the room was divided into two rooms by a bamboo curtain. The man sat in front.

The monk stepped forward and asked, "What kind of food do you want to use?" ”

The people at the front table all looked at Zhao Xihou. Zhao Xihou was very polite, closed the fan in his hand and said, "What can you eat here?" Then he said to them, "You have eaten, but I will not eat." ”

Liu Ping said: "Then everyone will have a bowl of noodles and ask them to serve a few dishes casually." Then he asked, "What about Miss Zhao and Seventh Girl, Miss Wang?" ”

Zhao Xiyun, who was sitting in the inner hall, had any ideas, but he just felt that eating outside was fresh; Zhao Xixiao no longer answered. Du Ruixue didn't say anything, and said, "Yes." ”

The monk went down.

Ruixue looked at the furnishings in the room in surprise. The big Buddha characters, the portrait of Guanyin, if there is no Buddha incense......

"Seven girls, have you ever been to the temple when you were worshipping the Buddha? But like here? ”

Zhao Xixiao raised his head slightly, and said shyly: "I've only been there once." My wife sent everyone in the temple out, and we were the only ones who went to visit. ”

"Can you still drive everyone in the temple away?"

Zhao Xiyun was also slightly surprised.

Zhao Xixiao nodded: "I invited someone to sing again, and I also invited some wives and ladies from other houses." ”

Rui Xue and Zhao Xiyun nodded in amazement, they can still drive the monks in the temple out!

Zhao Xiyun said suspiciously: "Can you still sing in the temple?" Didn't Mrs. Liu say that Buddhism is a quiet place, not noisy? ”

Zhao Xixiao was asked for a moment, his face immediately turned red, he lowered his head and played with his clothes, and muttered, "I don't know." ”

Compared with the dullness on the women's table, Zhao Xihou's table has already been opened, and it is poetry and songs, and it is not lively with love chess, calligraphy and painting. Zhao Xiyun and Ruixue are used to Zhao Xihou's kind of flying talk, Qiu is older than them, and they know more, they don't care, as long as Zhao Xixiao can listen to it alone, and occasionally nod when he hears something he is familiar with.

Zhao Xiyun pushed Ruixue, pointed at Zhao Xixiao, who was concentrated, and quietly covered his mouth and smiled.

Maybe it was because the movement of the two people was a little bigger, Zhao Xixiao reacted, and his cheeks turned red again.

Qiu pushed Zhao Xiyun and Ruixue: "Don't laugh, everyone in Jiangnan will have a few lines of poetry, if any of you marry to Jiangnan in the future, I'm afraid you won't be able to laugh." ”

Zhao Xiyun and Rui Xue suddenly blushed and didn't speak.

It wasn't until the monk brought the meal that it was better.

A bowl of clear noodle soup, the soup is still a little dark.

Le Fengyi smiled and said to the monk who knew the guest: "Okay, you are a thief." and coaxed us so much money. I can't even put a green vegetable leaf, so what about the fasting dishes that you want to match? ”

The monk was not annoyed, and recited the Buddha's words: "Donor and taste." ”

Zhao Xihou had already lost his appetite when he saw that, and he just sat still.

Le Fengyi smiled and saw that Liu Ping didn't move his chopsticks, and the female relatives inside didn't move except for Qiu and Ruixue, and said, "Then I'll come." After taking a bite, I couldn't help but say, "Why is it so fresh?" He added, "Then blame you for not putting vegetables, you don't need vegetables to eat this." ”

He never spoke again, but began to eat in large gulps.

Zhao Xihou looked at the black ground soup suspiciously, and tasted the soup hesitantly. Indeed, the soup is very delicious, and if you eat the noodles, the noodles are also strong, and the soup is also stained with the noodles, which is indeed delicious.

"How do you do this?"

The monk in the temple smiled and said, "The little monk doesn't know either. ”

Zhao Xixiao ate for a while, and whispered to Zhao Xiyun: "Mrs. is eating fast these days, can you send some food back to honor your wife?" ”

Zhao Xiyun nodded again and again, and said, "Third brother, my wife said that I want to eat some food from the temple." How much should they bring home? ”

When Zhao Xihou heard this, he said to the monk who knew the guest: "What is good about your food?" ”

The monks are all chosen to be shrewd and fickle. This monk saw that Zhao Xihou and others were wearing silk cocoon satin, and they were female guests, and they had to hang curtains, and there were maids and wives around those female guests, thinking that they were people with family backgrounds in this county. Then he said: "There is a monk from Taiping Mansion who makes fried chicken leg mushrooms very well; Many donors of the tofu skin he made were also very fond of him. The monk who made this noodle, in addition to this plain noodle, the matsutake mushroom and simmered fungus he made were also very good, and he also asked the donor to have mercy. ”

Plain noodles: from the "Suiyuan Food List" Yangzhou Dinghui Nunnery monks made. The mushrooms are boiled one day and cleared, and the next day the bamboo shoots are boiled and the noodles are added.
