Chapter 24: Who Belongs to the Scriptures?
Wang Zhixi naturally knew that Wang Ronghe's handwriting was excellent. [Full text reading. Although I still don't understand the effort and time that Wang Ronghe spent practicing calligraphy, but now when my aunt said that she wanted to hand over the Buddhist scriptures, it did not prevent her from going to Wang Ronghe to ask for a copy of the Heart Sutra. Wang Ronghe is not a stingy person, and he has nothing to do.
Wang Zhixi put the scriptures written by Wang Ronghe underneath and then covered the paper, and described them according to the glyphs that came out. However, in this way, the following scriptures will be scrapped with ink, and Wang Zhixi doesn't care about letting the palace maid throw them away.
was picked up by someone with a heart and put it back on Zhou Yuting's kang table.
"Who do you think wrote this?" Zhou Yuting asked. The staff in the front hall were so nervous, but Zhou Yuting lived alone in a cubicle, leaving only the cover to make a appearance, as for who its owner was squeezing with, no one cared.
"It was written by Wang Zhixi's chic sister who was said to be ugly by His Majesty." The palace maid bowed her head and said, "Wang Zhixi is far inferior to her sister everywhere, but the Buddhist scriptures that she wants to give to the queen mother of the two palaces specially asked her sister for a sample, put it under the paper, and write it word by word." Obviously, I think my sister's words are still better. โ
Zhou Yuting carefully looked at the invalid Buddhist scripture, although a few words had been smudged with ink, and they couldn't be seen clearly. But it is true that the pen is strong, and the extraordinary handwriting is invincible.
Zhou Yuting stroked the scriptures and muttered to herself, "Can you still operate like this?" โ
"You go and ask me if this eldest girl is willing to copy a scripture and lend it to me to study, and the conditions are good." Zhou Yuting said to the palace maid.
The palace maid went to the apse and came back not long ago, her face was sad, "Girl, Miss Wang is so reluctant to listen to her words, and she is not willing to copy another scripture." โ
Zhou Yuting had a gloomy face, even if she threatened Wang Ronghe with her meals and all kinds of inconveniences in life at this time, the time to go to the scriptures was in front of her. At this time, threatening her is likely that the fox did not hit but fell into a commotion. After pondering for a moment, Zhou Yuting made a decision in her heart, she asked the palace maid to come over and say such and this, and stuffed her with a heavy purse, "After the matter is completed, your benefits are indispensable." โ
"Don't worry, girl, it's in order." The palace maid assured.
All the scriptures copied by the show girls were handed over to the aunt of Chuxiu Palace first, and then the aunt personally sent them to Cining Palace. At the base of the outer wall of Cining Palace, my aunt suddenly stopped the procession, and she looked ahead, not behind. Behind her, a palace maid hurriedly found the eunuch tray she had already written down.
Find Wang Ronghe's scriptures, quickly replace the label with Zhou Yuting's name on it, and then put Wang Ronghe's label on Zhou Yuting's scriptures. The whole process was light and fast, and when the palace maid stood behind her aunt and stood with her hands down, the aunt shouted away, but for a moment, it seemed that this team had never stopped.
In Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Chen and Empress Dowager Li were sitting opposite each other drinking tea, and the palace maid presented the hand-copied scriptures of the nuns of Chuxiu Palace.
"Why did you suddenly think of asking the show girl to copy the scriptures?" Empress Dowager Chen asked.
"Your Majesty sent the scriptures, didn't my sister see the clues." Empress Dowager Li said.
Empress Dowager Chen put down the teacup, "I really don't know what to say about your thoughts, you were so cautious when Your Majesty was still the prince, I can understand that it was a last resort." Now His Majesty and the Emperor are doing well, and the Manchu Dynasty praises the style of a Ming monarch. Your Majesty is still very filial, and he thinks of you and me for any good things, just accept this kindness, and he has to explore what the things behind the kindness are doing. โ
"That's a private gift." Empress Dowager Li said solemnly.
"That's a show girl, speaking of which, she is already His Majesty's woman, where did she come from." Empress Dowager Chen shook her head and said
Empress Dowager Li's face still couldn't relax, the palace maid looked at the Buddhist scriptures sent by His Majesty one by one, and finally screened out three that could not be decided, so they could only be presented to the Queen Mother together, "How can there be three?" Empress Dowager Li asked.
"These three handwritings look similar, and the slaves and maids really can't tell them, so they can only face the Queen Mother and ask the mother to distinguish them." Aunt Yaoyu said.
"And you can't see it?" Empress Dowager Chen said curiously, "Take it and take a look, yo, there are still copyists of Sanskrit scriptures here." โ
Empress Dowager Li asked Yaoyu, "Which three?" โ
"Back to the Queen Mother, they are Liu Jing from Jinggi, Wang Zhixi from Andingfang in Beijing, and Zhou Yuting from Qipan Street in Beijing." Yaoyu said.
"Then bring all three." Empress Dowager Li said.
The Queen Mother suddenly summoned Liu Jing, Wang Zhixi, and Zhou Yuting to Cining Palace to meet them, and Chu Xiugong discussed, "Won't this be the final choice, right?" โ
"No, it's only been a long time to pick three?" Yang Jingru said, "I don't have the head and brains to ask us to copy the scriptures, and as soon as the scriptures are handed in, I will call someone to see them, how do I feel like I am looking for someone." โ
"Fortunately, our apse and Sister Liu have entered, if you really choose the three from the front hall, the face of our apse will be lost." Cui Yiru said.
Wang Rong and his hand supported his head, feeling that something was wrong, Wang Zhixi wrote according to her words, like normal, Liu Jing is very able to work hard, how many pieces of paper did she scrap, and the final finished product Wang Rong and saw it, it was the same as the calligraphy she gave her, but what happened to Zhou Yuting?
What about her scriptures? Did she copy it with her right hand? If the emperor's scriptures to the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces were written by her, would the Queen Mother want to find someone not to find her?
Wang Ronghe suddenly sighed and covered her face, could it be that she was amorous. It's really embarrassing to die.
"Sister Wang, what's wrong with you?" Cui Yiru asked.
"It's fine." Wang Ronghe put down his hand and calmed down and said, "What the hell is going on, we will know when Jing'er comes back." โ
At this time, the three show girls who went to Cining Palace were also worried, they also thought of the final choice of three, both excited and a little unbelievable, this kind of good thing really fell on their heads, Zhou Yuting's eyes were shining, even if it was not the third choice, they also had one more opportunity to see the queen mother than other show girls, and they must take advantage of it.
The three of them entered Cining Palace, this time there were few people, and after saluting, Empress Dowager Chen called up, and let them sit down, "Don't be nervous, it's not a bad thing, I saw that you copied the scriptures well, so I called them over to meet." โ
The three of them got up again and thanked the Empress Dowager for her praise.
"How did you come up with the idea of copying the Sanskrit scriptures?" Empress Dowager Chen asked.
Liu Jing, the only one who copied the Sanskrit scriptures, bowed slightly and replied, "Back to the Queen Mother's words, the little girl's family is poor, she didn't read and practice words when she was young, and she didn't know the Chinese characters of Douda, so she was afraid that she would offend the Bodhisattva, so she went to the Qin'an Temple to ask for the Sanskrit scriptures to learn, and read them sincerely." โ
"Ingenuity." Empress Dowager Chen said. "The handwriting is neat and correct, not to mention that you have no foundation before, which shows that you are sincere."
"How often do you go to the Qin'an Temple?" Empress Dowager Li asked.
"Back to the Queen Mother, when I entered the palace, I had morning and evening classes, and I didn't go to Chuxiu Palace Huรณ Dรฒng, and then my aunt said that I could go to the palace back garden to walk around, and found that there was a Buddha hall in the Qin'an Hall to go in and worship the Buddha, so I couldn't help but go a few more times." Zhou Yuting said with a smile, "I'm not afraid of the Queen Mother's jokes when I say it, I miss my father and mother after entering the palace for so long, go to the Buddhist hall to recite the scriptures and recite peace, and my heart is at peace." โ
"It's a matter of course that a daughter misses her father, how can the mourning family laugh at you." Empress Dowager Li said, she stroked the tea cup, "Then you usually copy scriptures and books to worship in front of the Buddha?" โ
The three of them all showed varying degrees of doubt, but Zhou Yuting reacted quickly and said with a smile, "The Buddhist hall in the palace is not allowed to burn incense, and it is quite a lot before writing a sutra to worship the Buddha." โ
Empress Dowager Li stopped talking and said something else, Empress Dowager Chen was happy to chat with the show girl, chatting for two teas, the palace maid said that the time was not early, and the queen mother of the two palaces each rewarded them with some brocade, and the jewelry let them retreat.
Empress Dowager Chen changed the tea to moisten her throat. "Do you think you're overthinking? No matter which of the three of them was, it didn't look like he was sending a scripture to His Majesty. Besides, young Mu Ai, who would send his sweetheart Buddhist scriptures? โ
"Your Majesty loves calligraphy, maybe you went to the Qin'an Hall and accidentally found that the words of this Buddhist scripture are beautiful and brought it back, and the person who copied the scriptures and put it in the Buddhist hall did not know." Empress Dowager Chen said disappreciatively.
"Sister read that people think who is the one who really wrote the scriptures?" Empress Dowager Li asked.
Liu Jing, who can't write a word, is naturally not, Wang Zhixi, Wenwen is quiet and soft. It is said that words are like people, although they are Buddhist scriptures, but they can also be seen that the hearts of the people who write are sparse. Zhou Yuting looks like a bold and generous person, and this is the most like her words. Empress Dowager Chen said.
"Actually, the three people who came today are the last three, and I think it's perfectly fine." Empress Dowager Chen said.
"Sister, this is too imprudent." Empress Dowager Li said.
"Joke, joke, I think you're too serious in town." Empress Dowager Chen said with a smile.
The three of them returned to Chuxiu Palace, and naturally some people came forward to inquire about something, Wang Zhixi excused herself to be tired, and Zhou Yuting wiped her hands carelessly, "Look at the reward I brought back from Cining Palace, do you want to ask what happened?" A good thing, of course. โ
The show girls were envious and jealous, and they flattered them.
Liu Jing returned to the apse, but no one surrounded him, Wang Ronghe said with a smile, "The ears report to the gods are all outside the hall to stretch out their ears and listen, you have to rest without saying a word, today the apse except for you, everyone else is not resting well." โ
"It won't be just me, you can rest well if you're different." Liu Jing looked at her.
"Not necessarily." Wang Ronghe smiled even deeper when he heard the words. "I'm gossipy, too."
Liu Jing smiled, "It's nothing, just say that we copied the scriptures well, and called them to commend and encourage them, and then they gossiped a few words, mainly Zhou Yuting was replying, and Wang Zhixi and I answered a few words when the Queen Mother asked." โ
"The Queen Mother didn't ask anything else, she just said what she did in Chuxiu Palace, what she did at home, if the Queen Mother did the same thing in the boudoir in the past, she would be interested in saying a few more words." Liu Jing said, "After talking about two tea times, the Queen Mother was tired, so we came back, and one of us rewarded a silk and two hairpins." โ
"How can I say that it's the first time I've sat in Cining Palace and chatted with the Queen Mother's old man, so you don't have any other feelings?" Cui Yiru asked.
"The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother are more harmonious, and the Queen Mother is more serious, well, I think they are looking for someone, saying that we will not copy the scriptures and put them in the Qin'an Palace, who will do this?" Liu Jing asked, but looked at Wang Ronghe, if you are looking for someone to kร n zรฌ traces, her words and Wang Zhixi's words are all influenced by Wang Ronghe, although Zhu Yuting's words don't know why they are in it, but there are two of the three, and the probability is very high.
Wang Ronghe also had a completely surprised expression, "Is there such a thing?"
Liu Jing couldn't see it and didn't want to, the left and right had nothing to do with her, so she only smiled and said, "But it is foreseeable that there will be no shortage of Buddhist scriptures enshrined in the Qin'an Hall in the future." โ
"The show girls in the front hall have been to the Qin'an Hall for a long time, I don't know if it's one of them?" Yang Jingru said.
Wang Zhixi turned in, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, but what she thought in her heart was the same as Liu Jing.
Could it be Wang Ronghe?
But if it was her, why wasn't she called?
