Chapter 247: Waiting for Idle Flat Ground to Make Waves (2)
Zhuang Yiran returned halfway in Ji Yuntang's carriage, and Yun Cheng simply changed to ride. In this way, the footsteps of the people of Yunfu were also a little faster, and as soon as they got out of Yanlan City, they went straight to Lanshan Temple.
Having arrived at the foot of Lanshan, Izuku and his party were about to pick up the steps to go up the mountain, but at this moment, a fast horse neighed and galloped from behind. The person on the horse is a deacon under Yun Cheng, and he is very important on weekdays.
Yun Cheng thought that there was something important to do, so he hurriedly got off the horse and asked. The deacon only presented a letter and whispered in Yun Cheng's ear: "Yuntan, the head of the Minzhou branch, came to the house with his wife and children. ”
Yuntan! It is Yun Cheng's biological father! Seven years ago, Mrs. Tai chose an heir for her lineage, and Yuntan father and son were blocked on the road and almost missed this opportunity, but fortunately they rushed over at the last moment. And since then, exactly seven years have passed.
Although Yun Cheng is now recognized as a descendant of the Lixin Hou Mansion, worshiping Yun as his father and leaving Xiu as his mother, Yuntan is his biological father in the end. The blood of this father-son relationship is thicker than water, and it has not been seen for several years, and at this moment, when he suddenly heard that Yuntan was visiting, how could Yun Cheng not be excited?
In particular, Yuntan has been widowing since he lost his wife, and Deacon Fangcai's report is "Yuntan and his family have a small wife", which shows that he has remarried. Yun Chengda was happy and excited in his heart, and it was almost difficult to contain the urgency in his heart. He hurriedly insisted on writing to Izumi to report the matter, but before he finished speaking, Izuku knew what he meant, and said with a smile: "I don't know what a good day today is, things are all together." Then you go back. ”
"Mother......" Yun Cheng was a little embarrassed: "I still accompany you to finish the incense." ”
Izuku drove people away softly, and joked with a smile: "Come on, you go back quickly." After all, Yuntan is the head of the Minzhou lineage, and since he brought his wife and children to visit, it is not appropriate for you not to be in the house. What's more, Yiran is unwell, and he must want you to be tight. ”
Yun Cheng pondered for a moment, still insisting on his opinion: "It's okay, I'll accompany you to finish the incense first, and you can leave a while in advance when you give rice." Father...... Since Yuntan is here, it is not too bad to wait for this moment. ”
Chuxiu laughed again when she heard this, and teased again: "You are thoughtful, and you can't offend both sides." ”
Yun Cheng shook his head helplessly: "I should flip through the yellow calendar today, probably because I shouldn't go out." ”
As soon as he said the words "not suitable to go out", Yun Xiangrong also came over and asked, "Master Hou wants to go back?" ”
"Finish the incense and then leave." Yun Cheng didn't want to say more to Yun Xiangrong, so he replied.
Yun Xiangrong heard this, his face was a little unpleasant, he couldn't say whether he was unhappy or what, his voice sank, and Emei frowned slightly: "This is very disrespectful to the Buddha, both of you and your husband left halfway." ”
Yun Cheng knew what he meant, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Originally, everyone came today for Zhuang Yiran, but unexpectedly, it was their husband and wife who left first, which was indeed not appropriate.
Yun Xiangrong spoke politely, but his words were a bit out of proportion. Izuku couldn't help but relieve Yun Cheng from the siege, and said to her: "Sincerity is spiritual, the Yun family has done countless good deeds, and the Buddha will see it in his eyes." Besides, Hou Ye and his wife will go back first, won't you and I stay here? ”
Yun Xiangrong saw that Xiu was talking like this, and he stopped talking for a while, and finally didn't speak again.
When she saw that it was good, she took the lead and walked up the stairs, heading towards the temple in the middle of Lanshan, Yun Cheng walked side by side with her, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with her?" Believe in Buddhism and believe in the six relatives who don't recognize it? ”
Izuku shook her head slightly, and she couldn't say that Izumo wanted to tolerate the loss of her virginity, so she could only sigh lightly: "She has pain in her heart, let's be more considerate." ”
Yun Cheng didn't ask any more questions when he heard this, and was silent and walked slowly with Xiu. Yun Xiangrong and a group of maids followed behind, and the remaining forty nurses joined hands in pairs, easily carrying five hundred catties of rice to follow.
When he arrived at the gate of Lanshan Temple, the presiding master had already brought several senior disciples to greet him. It is not false to say that he is a high-ranking monk, at least he saw that Zhu Xiu and Yun Cheng were people with outstanding appearance and temperament, they did not show too many expressions, and they performed the Buddhist rites very plainly, and did not forget to thank Yun Xiangrong.
Izuku had already prepared a lot of sesame oil money, handed a few ingots of gold to the host with his own hands, gave him two silver tickets, and said with a polite smile: "Today, I want to borrow the place of Guibao Temple and give some porridge and rice, and I hope you don't mind, master." ”
The presiding officer of Lanshan Temple, named "Yuanfeng", is about fifty years old, his face is charitable and kind, and he replied with a smile: "Madam, you are polite, this is the blessing of our temple." ”
Several people politely entered the temple, and the host of Yuanfeng led Izuxiu and Yun Cheng into the main hall, and the two burned incense in turn, and Yun Xiangrong followed closely behind to burn incense and pray. Until the incense was finished, she still knelt on the mat and did not get up, silently reciting the scriptures in her mouth, with a pious face.
Out of the main hall, Yuanfeng presided over a general introduction to the situation in the temple, out of Xiu to look around, whether it is the main hall or the side hall in this temple, you can see pilgrims everywhere, as Yun Xiangrong said, Lanshan Temple incense is prosperous, good men and women are not a few.
Xu is the host of Yuanfeng is old, and he speaks very slowly, and he talks endlessly. Yun Cheng is not listening, nor is he listening, so he can't help but be a little anxious. In the end, I still made a mistake and asked him: "Master Hou, what is the important matter in the house?" ”
Yun Cheng immediately realized that he and Izuku couldn't wipe the host's face, so he had to say perfunctorily: "There are some important things that I just learned at the mountain gate." ”
Izumi took the opportunity to say: "It's really unfortunate, I didn't have to let the host and the monks see the jokes." ”
Yuanfeng was a little flattered when he saw that Xiu was giving face like this, and hurriedly said: "If there is a Buddha in the heart, there is a Buddha everywhere, and the Buddha does not have to be confined to the location." Since the Hou Ye has something important to do, the poor monk will send someone to send you out of the mountain. ”
Yun Cheng waved his hand and refused, only said: "In this case, I will go first, and I will bother the host to help Shi Mi." ”
Yuanfeng respectfully returned the salute.
Yun Cheng was thinking about his biological father Yuntan in his heart, and he also remembered his beloved wife Zhuang Yiran, and he couldn't care about anything else at the moment, so he took three steps and two steps and walked out, leaving the monk behind him so big.
Izumi thought that his fists and feet were good, and he rode back on horseback, so he didn't worry too much, and went to eat with Yun Xiangrong.
After the meal, the temple was still full of people, and I was afraid that there would be few people in the afternoon, so I instructed the nurses to set up Shi Mi's line and start to Shi Mi one by one. The monks of Lanshan Temple rushed to tell each other, and after a while, the pilgrims in the temple heard that Yunfu was giving rice here, and they came to receive rice.
Some were followed by robes; Some borrowed bowls from the temple; Some of the mountain families who lived in the mountains simply went home to get their utensils and hurried to them......
500 catties of rice, a lot less, not too much, but it was a crazy robbery; There are even some beggars who have been in the temple all the year round, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to Izumi and Yun Xiangrong, and they can't get up alive or dead.
After that, more and more people asked for rice, and the scene began to become chaotic, and quarrels began to occur. If Yun Feng is here, he must be able to control it well, but he is not there. The rest are maids and nurses, inexperienced and unsure of how to maintain order.
Or the host of Yuanfeng was afraid that there would be a stampede or rice grabbing incident, so he temporarily transferred ten warrior monks to help. Izuku and Yun Xiangrong had never seen such a chaotic scene, and they were a little frightened for a while, so Yuanfeng said: "The two ladies have golden and jade bodies, so it's better to avoid them for the time being." The scene here is too chaotic, what if you accidentally injure the two of you? ”
Yun Xiangrong also had this intention, so he gently pulled out Xiu's sleeve: "Sister-in-law, let's go to the apse and wait." ”
Izuku was very hesitant: "Since it's Yunfu Shimi, how can I not show up?" In particular, this scene is chaotic right now. ”
"If the lady is not at ease, she will hand over this matter to the poor monk, and the poor monk will naturally send someone to handle it." The host of Yuanfeng is very enthusiastic and authentic.
Yun Xiangrong also opened his mouth to echo: "Yes, sister-in-law! The host master has been doing good deeds all year round, and I don't know how many of these things have ever seen, so I naturally have more experience than you and me. We can't help here, we just don't have to make a mess. ”
Izuku was still hesitant. At this moment, two more beggars came and knelt down towards Izuxiu, shouting the word "fairy" again and again. That's not all, one of the little beggars suddenly reached out and pulled out Xiu's skirt, and pressed two dirty handprints on the skirt with a "snap".
Seeing this, Yun Xiangrong said again: "Sister-in-law, let's go!" There are more men and fewer women here, and we are not suitable to show our heads again. ”
This sentence finally persuaded Chuxiu, and she had to reluctantly preside over to Yuanfeng: "I'll leave it to you here, it's really unfortunate that I've caused you trouble." ”
Yuanfeng clasped his hands together and returned the salute with a smile: "Madame's words are serious, you are also accumulating merit for our temple by giving rice in our temple." The poor monk will definitely arrange the matter of Shi Mi and not embarrass Yunfu. ”
After that, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the northeast direction: "That is the courtyard where the ladies stay in the guest, I want Mrs. Rong to know the way, you two go over first and rest for a while." When Shi Mi is finished, the poor monk will go and invite you two to come out. ”
Yun Xiangrong agreed, escorted Chuxiu to the northeast and walked briskly, saying as he walked: "I have been coming to Lanshan Temple every day recently, and I am quite familiar with the situation in the temple, and my sister-in-law will follow me." ”
Seeing that she was walking in a hurry, and a thin sweat was oozing from her forehead, she couldn't help asking, "Are you uncomfortable?" ”
Yun Xiangrong shook his head: "No, I was just scared by Fang Cai's scene." ”
Chuxiu thought of those people who were scrambling to ask for rice, as well as those beggars, and he was also afraid for a while. On weekdays, she didn't do it herself, and she always thought that Shi Mi Shi noodles was a simple thing, just swing the rice bowl and noodle bowl outside, and one person would hit a scoop. Only today did I know that the people live on food, and the people can be crazy about the rations.
Yun Feng is not there, Yun Cheng is leaving, a small Shi Mi matter is so difficult, it is not enough for the maids of Yunfu and the nurses to go into battle together, it is really a shame to have to bother the host Yuanfeng and his disciples to maintain order.
Thinking of this, Izuku laughed, very self-deprecating. On weekdays, she lived in the Yun Mansion, and only relied on her mind to run the Yun Clan, and more often wrote orders, pen and paper, so she never expected that it would be so difficult to do good......
On paper, I finally feel shallow, and I never know that I have to do it. Chuxiu suddenly felt that she had not come in vain this trip, and the fright of Fang Cai was not in vain, and her heart had a faint feeling different from the past, as if she had a deeper understanding of the word "people's livelihood".
Thinking like this, I unconsciously arrived at the courtyard of the guest and the wife of the Arashiyama Temple. Izumi stroked her forehead and took a deep breath, and was about to speak, but she heard a muffled snort beside her, and Yun Xiangrong had fallen to the ground in response.
Izuku's eyes widened in horror, and before she could cry for help, she felt a pain in her neck, a black eye, and unconscious......
