Chapter Twenty-Three: A Narrow Encounter
Near the pavilion, a maid stepped forward to look at Fu Shaogen's people, and saw that Fu Shaogen's party was dressed simply and ordinarily, although the women were wearing veils, but they did not achieve the great defense of men and women, and the two male servants were also sitting in the pavilion, so they frowned with some disgust. He said loudly: "My old lady wants to rest here, and I ask a few people to find another place to rest." After that, he waited on the sidelines.
Jing'er said "Huh" strangely, and said with a smile: "This girl, this pavilion is quite big, why don't you invite the old lady to enjoy the shade with us, it will definitely not be crowded." ”
Liu San and Chen Si walked under the big tree in the distance and gave up their position.
The maid frowned and said softly, "What are your identities, how can you rest with our old lady?" I really look up to myself. Don't get out yet. ”
No matter how stupid Jing'er is, she can hear it, people are here to drive people out, let them let the gazebo out, she can't help but be a little angry, and just said: "Why are you ......" was stopped by Fu Shaogen.
Fu Shao said softly: "Don't be angry, maybe the owner of the family has a bad disease and is afraid of infecting us, Jing'er, you have to think about the good." ”
Jing'er snorted and laughed, and immediately stood up and said, "In that case, then let's just let it out." ”
Although Fu Shaogen's voice was small, the maid still heard it, and couldn't help but be furious, and just said, "Presumptuous! ......" She heard something from the man on her shoulder, and the maid immediately shut her mouth.
Fu Shao took Jing'er and Gu Zhi to avoid the big tree, Jing'er shook out a big oilcloth, and several people sat on the oilcloth and continued to rest.
Two people came down from the shoulders, a graceful figure, a yellow-clothed girl with a jingle around her waist holding a white-haired old lady, the old lady was extravagant, holding a circle of rosewood Buddha beads in her left hand, the emerald on her fingers could be the size of a pigeon's egg, and she slowly walked into the pavilion with a cane in her right hand. The two maids had wiped the pavilion up and down very quickly, and even burned a stick and set out a set of tea sets. The maid took down a set of extremely small copper kettles from her shoulders, turned out two carbon bars from her sleeves, and even boiled tea.
Jing'er pursed her lips, very disapproving.
continued to nibble on the dry food prepared by King Xu.
Although I don't know what Xu Wang's origin is, with her less and more picky tongue, I am sure that her skills are no worse than Juntian's imperial kitchen, even if it is usually a simple blanched green vegetable, Xu Wang's has to use the broth boiled from pork bones to scald, and it can eat a very delicious taste. Today's dry food is wild boar jerky, which is repeatedly fried with wild mountain honey, and small steamed buns made with fine white flour and maltose. Each person also came with a small bottle of beef sauce with steamed buns and a bamboo tube of chrysanthemum wolfberry water.
A few people ate very well, and the aroma of beef sauce alone wafted far away, and everyone who smelled it moved their appelverts. Looking at the few people sitting on their shoulders, it seems that they have brought some pastries and other snacks, even if they eat fragrant tea, the taste is very bland.
The girl in yellow couldn't help but look over here, because she was also veiled, and she couldn't see her face clearly. The girl glanced at it and turned her head away.
The two handfuls of people were in charge of themselves, and they were very quiet for a while.
After a while, another maid stood up, walked to Fu Shaogen, and stood far away and said, "My old lady wants to borrow a tube of water to use, I don't know which one is willing to cut her love, and it is convenient?" "He spoke softly, but very politely.
Jing'er was kind and said, "Girl, I see that you have also cooked fragrant tea, is there not enough water to make tea?" He looked down at his bamboo tube again, and said with some regret: "It is best to boil tea in clear water, and the water we bring is boiled with wolfberries and chrysanthemums, so I'm afraid it is not suitable for making tea." ”
The maid said happily: "If it is not for making tea, although we do not have enough water to make tea, it will be enough to drink." It is our old lady who wants to wash the handkerchief, and the boiled water of wolfberries and chrysanthemums is better, and it is not buried. ”
Fu Shaogen suddenly sneered and said, "There is a mountain stream not far away, you want to wash your whole body is enough, is it possible that your water is not enough to drink, our water is enough to drink?" ”
The maid listened to Fu Shao's tone was not good, and knew that this was the master, so she endured it, and said very politely: "You don't know, my old lady's body is expensive, and her clothes and handkerchiefs never need to be touched with raw water, and the stream is raw water, how can she wash her old man's things." ”
According to her usual understanding, all ordinary people should be very afraid to offer what they brought with both hands, and rejoice in being adopted. Why do you want her to explain a thing or two, and say all this nonsense.
Fu Shaogen said: "That's simpler, can't you just use your teapot to boil the stream water?" ”
The maid couldn't help but be angry, but she held her identity and said coldly: "This old lady of my family is the old lady of Xiangguo Mansion, and it is a great blessing for her to be willing to use your water, since you don't hesitate to be blessed, forget it, but I hope you won't regret it in the future." After saying that, he went back to his life angrily.
After listening to the maid's reply, the old lady frowned with her eyes closed, and then waved her hand and said it. A string of small-leaf rosewood Buddha beads in his hand was still twisting and rubbing unhurriedly.
The girl in yellow glanced at this again, snorted lightly, and said to the two maids: "These people must also be going up the mountain to worship the true Buddha of Mojian Temple." It's a pity that in order to receive us, Mojian Temple has closed its doors today, and these people are probably in vain. ”
The old lady snorted and said with a smile: "True Buddha? The true Buddha with a gilded body is only worshiped by the laity. But we are going to listen to Master Guizen's lectures, and his lectures are not to be found, and they must not be mixed up. ”
The girl in yellow said yes.
After a rest, the Qin family took the lead in sitting on their shoulders and continued on the road. Fu Shaogen and the others took a step back, and they were not in a hurry, but only walked slowly. Fu Shao is more experienced and knowledgeable, and while walking, he talks about the geography and mountains, flowers and plants, and even extends to the customs and allusions, and several people follow her while listening and walking, but they think it is very interesting.
Before I knew it, I had arrived in front of the mountain gate.
The three big golden characters of the Mojian Temple are shining, and the walls of the temple are bright in color, and the oil is new. There was a small novice standing at the door, dressed in a monk's robe, and the new cloth shoes on his feet were not even plastered with putty.
Fu Shao laughed in his heart, and said secretly: This old monk has definitely made a lot of money back, and it is really not as comfortable as being a monk to be an official this year, he eats everywhere, and he is rich in oil and water.
As soon as Xiao Shami saw Fu Shaogen, he stepped forward very attentively and said, "But Gu Shizhu? ”
Fu Shaogen nodded, stretched out his hand, and stuffed a silver ticket into Xiao Shami's hand.
The little novice was overjoyed, and hurriedly beckoned the people to open the mountain gate, leading the way in front of him, and said as he walked: "Master got up early in the morning and said that there was an old man visiting today, and he said that there would be a windfall for those who welcomed the door. ”
Fu Shao only smiled silently.
Suddenly, I saw four people standing in the main hall, it was the ancestor and the two maids, and I saw that the old lady Qin's face was dripping with water, and the girl was very anxious on the side.
Seeing that Xiao Shami led Fu Shaogen and the others straight to the wing room behind the hall, the girl was in a hurry, rushed over to stop Xiao Shami and said, "The little master must be mistaken, right?" My old lady came to visit Master Guizen, and it is impossible for Master Guizen not to see my grandmother and to see them. ”
Xiao Shami put his palms together very seriously and pronounced a Buddha name, and said: "Donor, all living beings are equal in the eyes of the Bodhisattva, and seeing you and her today is all karma, and the donor must not be entangled in this." ”
The solemn expression made Fu Shao more directly doubt whether it was the same person who had received the silver ticket just now.
Xiao Shami said to the old lady Qin from a distance: "Today, the master only saw this donor, if there is a fate in the future, and when there is a time to see you again, please go back the way you came." ”
After speaking, he continued to lead Fu Shaogen and the others forward.
The girl stomped her feet, turned her head and was about to rush in, but before she took two steps, she suddenly saw a row of small novices standing behind the hall, proclaiming the Buddha's name, and very mercilessly blocked the girl's way.
Old Madam Qin was shocked and angry, trembling with anger, pointing at the little novice, "You ......" was speechless for a long time, the crutch hit the ground a few times, turned her head and walked towards the gate, and the girl in yellow and the maids hurriedly followed.
……
At this time, Fu Shao has taken off the veil and returned to Zen to take a photo.
That Gui Zen is kind eyebrows and kind eyes, the law is solemn, and there is no sign of aging for a few years, and even more red face, as if he is still a little fatter.
I saw Gui Chan sitting cross-legged on the meditation bed, and said, "I got up and said that there is a distinguished guest coming to the door, so that the old man must see him." I can't think of who the guest is. Is it the old or the new? ”
Fu Shao said: "Jinwu is old today, but tomorrow is new, this time is new for that time, why bother thinking?" Don't think about it. ”
Gui Chan smiled and said: "Lao Qu once saw a good tree die in a good season, and another tree is about to die but suddenly returns to luxuriation, I don't know if this tree is good or withered?" ”
Fu Shao said: "It's all good, let him be glorious if he is honored, and let him wither if he is dry." ”
Gui Chan clapped his palms and said: "Good, this is the cause of coming and going, and there is nowhere to go when the two methods are divided." ”
Fu Shao said: "Today, I am very relieved to see the master's red face, and the temple is renovated. Isn't the master afraid of falling into the face of money? ”
Gui Chan shook his head: "Money is also the same, just because I have a floating name in the world, how can I get rid of it?" ”
Fu Shaogen laughed and said, "I don't know what the monk's name is?" ”
Gui Chan also smiled: "It turns out that my floating name has been removed." ”
Fu Shao said: "My floating name has not been removed, and when I come today, I will ask Master to extend a hand." ”
……
Yesterday, Gu Zhi, who had changed his name, came to see Fu Shaogen, first bowed his head and admitted his mistake, saying that he thought about it carefully, and hoped to focus on reading, because reading is reasonable and can see and hear for a long time. Then you can learn martial arts to strengthen your body in your spare time when you are not studying, so that you will not be bullied so that you will not have the power to fight back.
That is, the civil and military roads have to be taken. This was very unexpected.
For the first time, Fu Shao began to think about planning Gu Zhi's life, and she realized that this child might be a piece of jade, carved well, and maybe one day it could surprise them.
Of course, this child needs a good background first. The only lay disciple of Master Guizen is a very good identity.
