On this day, the door of Tianruo Temple was closed, and pilgrims did not enter, all because the Shen Mansion and the Xia family, the great clans in the capital, wanted to do a Dharma meeting in the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

Shen Zetang accompanied Mrs. Shen and the maids of the house to listen to the Yungu Zen Master preach a volume of the Tibetan scriptures, and was resting, Mrs. Xia led her eldest daughter Xia Chang over, the Xia Chang's posture was very moving, and her manners and deeds were very decent.

Shen Zetang stood in front of the corridor with his hands behind his back, his face was calm, he only bowed his head lightly to her, that is, he withdrew his gaze, and then chatted with Zen Master Yungu about Buddhism.

Xia Yan received this cold reception, so she had to bite her lip and go back.

Mrs. Xia looked at the movement through the window, frowned secretly, and Mrs. Shen sighed: "Er'er Mo looks gentle on the surface, but his temperament is sparse, and he doesn't like to deal with people, especially the girl's house is far away, and he is very uninteresting." ”

Everyone laughed, and Mrs. Xia's expression softened, and she asked in a low voice, "Hasn't he heard from his wife yet?" I've seen it a few times in the past, and he's also a dignified person. ”

Old Madam Shen only shook her head, obviously unwilling to talk more, and the third daughter-in-law, Cui, hurriedly diverted from the words on the side.

Mrs. Xia didn't ask any more.

............................................................

Shen Zetang walked through the cave gate of the garden, the rain silk was twisted into a net, and the wind threw itself on the person, and Shen Rong followed him to play an umbrella.

Shen Zetang took the umbrella from his hand and thought about it: "You go to find Shen Huan and Xu Jing to wait for me in the meditation room." ”

Shen Rong gave up his hand and left.

Shen Zetang stood slightly, and then turned onto a bluestone path covered by bamboo, and walked only a few dozen steps, and now there was a simple courtyard.

He put away the wet umbrella under the eaves, wiped off the rain stains on his sleeves, and suddenly heard the sound of brushing from the door, and couldn't help but purse the corners of his mouth, and squeaked to open the door halfway, sure enough, the fourth brother Shen Zehan and the current mage Mingyue were cleaning the courtyard seriously, and Qiu Lin was all over his shoulders.

Hearing the sound of feet and feet, he raised his head, and saw that it was Shen Zetang slowly approaching in a brown monk's robe, and he didn't show surprise, but said calmly: "You wait for me." "Continue to sweep the dead leaves into the corners of the wall and accumulate them into a pile.

After entering the meditation room, Mingyue went to the dormitory to wash and change into a half-new monk's robe.

The two of them sat cross-legged in front of the low table, the little novice came over to pour tea, Shen Zetang took a bite of the lamp, only felt unbearable, and then swept around, and his tone was very gentle: "The monks are all dojos all over the world, traveling monks, climbing mountains and flooding waters, and understanding Buddha in the mountains and rivers; Dining and drinking dew, Buddha in the wind and dew; Chanting poems and tasting tea, the Buddha in the poetry and tea, or even walking in the red dust and the wind and moon, you can also understand the Buddha in the wind and the moon, why do you want to learn the ascetic head Tuo turned into dead ashes, hidden in the burrow, coarse tea and light rice, and ask for this bitterness! ”

Mingyue lit a glass sea lamp in front of the table, the light orange blinded his eyebrows, he said: "Such as the mountain people and fishermen, into the mountains to collect medicine, fishing near the water, the mountains and rivers have a clear sound, birds and beasts accompany the traces, so I don't feel lonely; For example, Tao Gong abandons fame and fortune, lives alone in the depths of the white clouds, sweeps stones and plays the piano, rolls the curtain to watch cranes, and is also in an indifferent mood; If the donor is an official, he lives in the Golden Horse Jade Hall, and the auxiliary emperor participates in politics, vertical and horizontal, although the official career is treacherous, he is still willing to do it; I roll eight windows here, the door opens two, a bowl of sea lamp, sandalwood half a furnace, spring can smell the mud fragrance on the beam of the new swallow language, summer can feel the green shade of the day room is cool, autumn can see the flowers fall and the wild goose line of the sky, winter can listen to the bell around the warm furnace and snow night, taste Zen enlightenment is not in the mountains and rivers, not in the wind and dew, not in the poetry and tea, not in the wind and moon, it is in the hearts of people, the heart is at ease, everything is free. He paused: "I'm very peaceful here, don't persuade the donor more!" ”

Shen Zetang looked at the lamp silently, and said in a low voice: "I found her!" She is only twenty-eight years old, and she has a poisonous flower on her chest, which is caused by the love Gu, I thought you would not help me......."

Mingyue was shocked, her back was straight, and she lowered her eyes and only dialed the rosary beads in her hand: "So what, the past is like the dust of the cars and horses outside the door, and it has long been irrelevant." ”

Without further ado, he spread out a treasure scroll, took the wooden fish and beat it, and began to recite the scriptures.

Shen Zetang slowly got up in his robe, and said in a deep voice: "Fourth brother, don't be desperate, you see an autumn rain, a wisp of autumn wind, can't cover a room of clear lights, what you see in front of you is not color or empty, the bright moon will eventually shine on the old man, just wait patiently." ”

Behind the Zen sound sandwiched by the sound of wooden fish, he no longer stayed, went out of the room, held up an umbrella and walked into the rain, Shen Ronghou was in front of the door, and hurriedly stepped forward to report, Shen Zetang hooked the corners of his mouth: "Take her to the reception hall, I am waiting there." ”

Shen Rong obeyed the order and left, and his mood became lighter.

...............................................

The guards reported through the curtain that Xia Yan had come to visit, and Shen Zetang looked very indifferent.

Gonggong Chen, the head of the Prince's Mansion, is his person, so he naturally has been blessed with his Xia Yan and the prince.

Shun Yu changed clothes after Jinping.

He just lit the candle, the brocade screen was white, instantly translucent, and the black figure was clearly reflected on the screen.

watched her slender fingertips pull out the hairpin, the sideburns were loosened, and her hair hung down like a waterfall, and was tucked behind her head.

Then he stretched his sleeves and undressed, a cut of his neck was beautifully revealed, his soft curved shoulders were connected to the bones of beauty, Shen Zetang's eyes were deep, his chest was wrapped very plain and there was no scenery to enjoy, his waist was like a willow curve, he only needed one arm to hold it, the two long legs were straight and straight, she suddenly turned sideways and leaned over to make shoes and socks, and outlined a circular arc under the waist.

Shen Zetang's throat was a little dry and hoarse, poured a cup of tea and drank it all, this girl met on the day she first arrived at Dali Temple, and she has never seen her since, only intermittently heard that she is quite smart and clever, and she is quite good at solving cases, but somehow she was sent by Yang Yan to set up a pavilion to copy the case file, and the time has passed, you see that her figure has faded a lot, and then how will it go.

He watched the figure on the brocade screen begin to tie the belt of the monk's robe, and then ordered the guard: "Please Miss Xia come in!" ”

The curtains sounded, and Xia Yan was about to kneel down by the maid's support, but Shen Zetang excused her and gave her a seat in front of the window.

........................................

The provocative meaning in Xia Yan's words was obvious, and Shen Zetang's face was gentle, and he only listened lightly, and his expression could not see joy or anger.

He ate tea slowly, recalling the death of Empress Litian in his previous life, and Concubine Xia was canonized as the successor, who would have thought that this girl's words and deeds would be so frivolous at this time.

There was contempt in his heart, and he didn't want to entangle her anymore, so he turned his head to look at Jinping: "When does Feng Sheng plan to come out?" ”

Only then did I see Shun Yu pulling the placket and slowly walking out, her wet hair was curled into a bun again, and the monk's robe was obviously big and loose, as if it would fall off her body if she was not careful.

Xia Yan got up with a red face and saluted, Shun Yu made a gesture with an expressionless face, and then looked at Shen Zetang, and inadvertently glanced at Jinping.

I didn't think it at first, at this time, the candle flame was shining brightly, and the brocade screen was very transparent, and she could clearly see the clothes she changed on the shelf at will.

Then she's just in there........ Isn't it that Shen Erye has seen it all!

As soon as she bit her lip, the old fox wouldn't have found anything........
