Chapter 250: Calculation
The three of them chatted for a while.
Liu Dakang got up after thoroughly reporting on his recent thoughts and work, and when he stepped out of the threshold, he stared at Jiang Han closely. Jiang Han didn't understand, standing on her father's side, holding on to the door frame by herself, she glanced at him, and was about to turn around and clean up the teacup.
Liu Dakang had no choice but to shout: "Yueya, why don't you send me out?" After I go out, the courtyard door doesn't need to be bolted? ”
"I'll just go shut down when I'm about to go to sleep later!" Jiang Han replied nonchalantly.
"You! ......" Liu Dakang was choked by her words and suffered chest pain.
This girl is really hopeless, after so many things, she is still so blind!
Father Jiang couldn't stand it anymore, he nudged Jiang Han and said, "Go and send your senior brother, he has something to tell you." ”
"......" Liu Dakang's face turned red again.
"Okay, let's talk, you have to send you to me, what's the problem?" As soon as he walked out of the door, Jiang Han leaned on the porch with his hands on his chest and asked unceremoniously.
"What's the? - Can you speak? Liu Dakang muttered angrily, while taking out a book from his arms and handing it to Jiang Han, "Here, help me bring it to Xiao An tomorrow, he should be able to use it, I asked Brother Xiaozhu, and he said that there should be one for the test Xiucai, and I bought it from the bookstore in Fucheng." Don't say that I gave it, just say, say ......" After talking for a long time, I didn't think it would be more appropriate for Jiang Han to lie, so I had to say vaguely, "Just say that I came from the shopkeeper Wang!" ”
Jiang Han looked at the six big characters on the cover: "Notes on the Collection of Four Books and Chapters and Sentences", raised his eyes to look at Liu Dakang, and said with hatred: "You are really ...... Fei is so thoughtful, but you want me to help you give it to Xiao An? Shouldn't you give Yun Niang directly and let her see how much effort you have put into her brother? How are you going to touch her heart just by doing this?! She shoved the book back into his hand, "You wait, I'll call her for you!" "I'm going back.
"Stop! Don't go! Liu Dakang quickly grabbed her collar and reprimanded, "Can't you do a favor?" When I helped you, did you say a word that you didn't want to? ”
Jiang Han broke free of his hand and retorted, "I'm not good for you, am I?" You care so silently, and when Yun Niang throws herself into the arms of others, I'll see what you do! ”
Liu Dakang's lips closed for a long time, and he wanted to cover up and said: "That is her choice, I respect her...... I didn't send the book for her, I did it for myself - Xiao An is so smart, she will definitely be able to pass the exam in the future...... I'm helping him now, and he'll always remember it when he comes out in the future. ”
Jiang Han drooped his eyelids, glanced at him, and plucked out his ears again: "Well, I don't know who said it just now, let me tell Xiao An that I got this book from the shopkeeper Wang!" ”
Liu Dakang was stunned, and reacted that his words were full of loopholes, so he said angrily: "Okay, don't care!" You can do what I tell you to do, and if you dare to assert yourself, be careful that I make you look good! ”
At this moment, the courtyard door of Liu's house next door opened, and Aunt Liu poked her head out in a thin embroidered shirt with a blue collar.
As soon as she saw the senior brother and sister standing at the door of Jiang's house, in a reluctant state, a satisfied smile overflowed in her eyes.
She walked over and said to Jiang Han: "It's rare for you to take a break, and you will go to the Eight Immortals Nunnery with your aunt tomorrow to say goodbye?" I've said it many times before, but you're not available, and this time you can't put it off any longer! Yun Yatou also went with her, I see that no one outside has mentioned their sister and brother in the past few days, so it should be out of the way. And he said, "Go back and tell her that we will leave tomorrow when the sun does not show up." ”
Jiang Han had a bitter face, and just about to beg for mercy, Aunt Liu made a blank face and said angrily: "You made some money this time, do you think everything is going well?" Hmph, it's not like it hasn't been before! Don't think that you have returned all the money, even if the money is safely in your pocket, you don't have to take it out again - whether you don't have to pay it depends on your future fortune! ”
Jiang Han was speechless.
Well, she admitted, Aunt Liu caught her sore foot.
The next day, the three of them went out at dawn, and when they walked to the Eight Immortals Nunnery, it was already three poles in the sun.
Jiang Han and Aunt Liu were fine, only Yun Niang was suffering.
Although she is much stronger than before, she has not walked for three hours in a row!
When she arrived at the foot of the pagoda where the Eight Immortals Nunnery was located, even if the mountain in front of her was only a small mountain less than thirty zhang high, she felt that it was even more difficult to climb it than to climb to the sky.
Later, she had to face the strange eyes of passers-by, lying on Jiang Han's back, following behind Aunt Liu, who was like no one around, and was carried up the mountain without daring to lift her head.
At that moment, how she wanted to shout to passers-by: "Keep your eyes open, it's a woman who carries me!" ”
But when she saw that the other two women were completely indifferent, she glanced at the pilgrims around her, and had to press down the embarrassment and discomfort all over her body, and forcibly held up a good face, followed behind Aunt Liu, and made a Buddhist salute to Aunt Miaoci.
Aunt Liu handed a few coppers to Miaoci's hand, and said with a flattering smile: "Aunt Lao went to ask, when will Master Jing be free to see us?" ”
Miao Ci touched the copper in his hand, stuffed it into his sleeve pocket with a flat expression, folded his hands, and said in a clear voice: "Amitabha, the poor nun will run for the three donors." ”
Jiang Han stared at her back.
If she was not mistaken, a trace of disdain flashed quickly in Miaoci's eyes just now.
Also, nuns also have to live!
How can there be so many monks in this world who have no desires and no thoughts!
Miao Ci walked for three quarters of an hour and didn't come back, Jiang Han and Yun Niang honestly followed behind Aunt Liu and worshiped all the Buddha statues in the nunnery.
The pagoda hill where the Eight Immortals Nunnery is located is said to be because there was a four-story pagoda on the mountain. Later, the stupa fell, the monk disappeared, but another wave of nuns came.
The nunnery is very small, with only three halls, and the hall is not large, and the largest area is more than 100 square meters at most. There is a large pedestal in the middle of the hall, on which the Buddha of Rulai, Maitreya Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva are enshrined back to back, and there is a Bodhisattva with a fierce face that Jiang Han does not know. The side halls on the left and right sides of the main hall are dedicated to the Medicine King Bodhisattva and the Jizo Bodhisattva.
The three of them finished worshipping the three halls in less than two quarters of an hour, and it took so long to use it because Aunt Liu had to recite a lot of them softly in front of each Buddha statue, kowtowing and kowtowing very reverently, making Jiang Han, who was worshipping quickly, glance at her and bow again, like a restless monkey, worshipping a Buddha in a mess.
After coming out of the Jizo Temple, there is the residence of the nuns and the side rooms for the pilgrims, and it is not suitable to go again.
Miao Ci hadn't come back yet, so Aunt Liu had no choice but to say: "Maybe Mrs. Shi is very busy today, you two are here for the first time, let's go to the side for a stroll, the scenery over there is not bad." ”
Although this pagoda mountain is not high, it is quite peculiar, half of the mountain is shaded by green trees, and it looks like a good jasper from a distance, but the other half is strange and rocky, and the stone seems to grow out of the mud.
Walk through the peach grove on the right side of the outer wall of the nunnery in the mud patches dotted with gravel, and then walk through a two-person wide path to reach the strange stone forest.
There were no peaches hanging on the branches of the peach trees in the peach grove at this time, but if you looked down, you could occasionally see one or two rotten peaches.
It seems that the peaches that grow here are not very tasty.
Jiang Han thought about it as he walked towards the strange stone forest, but Aunt Liu shouted outside the forest, and Miao Ci came back with a reply.
The time after that is more boring.
Aunt Liu, who was in front of Mrs. Jing, was as humble as a different person. The two chattered and said a lot of things that Jiang Han didn't understand but had to pretend to understand, which made her in a trance, couldn't stop moving her hips, and secretly yawned a lot.
In the end, Aunt Liu folded her hands and said "Thank you, Mrs. Shi", took out five taels of silver, held it with both hands, and respectfully handed it to Mrs. Shi, and said: "This money, please ask Mrs. Shi to light another month of lanterns for my son, and bless him with peace in everything!" Jiang Han's heart couldn't help but tremble, and his eyes were even more glued to the silver - all the savings of their Jiang family didn't have so much!
Suddenly, Jiang Han, whose eyes were about to stare out, felt the sight of three burning faces, she looked up blankly, but she frowned slightly at Aunt Liu, and smiled lightly at Master Jing's kindness, as well as Yun Niang's eyes that couldn't bear to look directly.
"What, what's wrong?" She spoke apprehensively, her face stunned.
"Didn't you bring two pieces of silver to pray for a blessing? Not in a hurry? Aunt Liu glanced at her and scolded her.
When Jiang Han heard this, he subconsciously clutched the purse on his waist.
Can she throw her face and leave? She can't take out five taels of silver!
