Chapter 9: The Secret Words of the Zen Room
At the end of the east side of the nunnery, where the old nun resides. Zhuo Yiting, Sanxi, and Mr. Yao followed the nuns to the end of the east side of the hall, and the old nun ordered others to stop outside the hugging building, but let Zhuo Yiting wait in the hugging building, and she carried her into the hall first.
After about two cups of tea, four nuns came out, and one of the nuns walked outside the hugging building and said to the middle-aged nun who reprimanded the little nun, "Chunguang, the master told you to go in." ”
The middle-aged nun who was called pure light responded, so she went in, and when she passed by Zhuo Yiting, she clasped her hands together with a slight pause. After a while, Chunguang walked out and invited Zhuo Yiting and the three of them to come in, and at the same time called the little nun who had been reprimanded by her before to come forward and ordered: "Go and cook a pot of Jing'an bamboo leaves, and make another bowl of thick tartary buckwheat." "Finished raising his hand to the others, scattered. In the blink of an eye, all the nuns dispersed, but the pure light stayed outside but did not leave, and there was a pretentiousness of waiting.
According to Chunguang's words, Mr. Yao took the lead, and Zhuo Yiting and Sanxi followed into the hall.
The hall here is extremely simple, and the green mountains and red flowers outside, and the ancient pine dwarf chrysanthemums are different from the sky. Before entering the door, I saw that there was an empty half of the hall, and when I entered the middle hall, there was not even a table or chair, an old clay kiln kang was horizontally under the east window, and a small square table with stilts and four legs on the window edge was erected, and a Tugong porcelain vase was placed on it, and a white peach blossom was inserted on the bottle; Directly opposite the table for the Buddha, a white marble Buddha statue is placed on the table, some yellow, white, black cloth curtains are hung down from the top, the cloth is embroidered with auspicious clouds, lotus leaves, lotus flowers, cranes, pictures, the ground is spread on a broken kneeling mat in all directions, and some black and white cotton wool leaks out from the four corners of the cushion.
Bojing Lao Ni lay crookedly on the kang, leaning on a long pillow, and covered with a deep lake blue coarse cloth quilt on his blue velvet robe. A low table for eating is placed along the edge of the top kang, and a string of smooth black prayer beads and a mouthful of wooden fish are placed cleanly. The rest of the others are also small and inconspicuous, and Zhuo Yiting and the others did not dare to make a random peep, so they walked in slowly, and stood on the edge of the kang, waiting for the old nun to speak.
When Bojing Laoni saw the three of them, he coughed non-stop, and raised his hand a few times, with the meaning of commanding to sit down. Mr. Yao suddenly remembered the Luo Han Guo in the cloth bag, bowed his waist and took it out, and presented it to the low table along the edge of the kang.
Bojing Lao Ni eased down, and said with a sigh of relief: "I'm worried about Lao Niang and Mr. Lao, the more old Ni has passed, the more useless he is." ”
Mr. Yao said: "The old immortal family is serious, you are still good at face and health, and you have the Buddha's body to protect you, so you want to live a thousand years old." ”
Bojing Lao Ni smiled, and beckoned to instruct him to sit on the kang, Mr. Yao turned around and sat down half-sideways, facing Lao Ni, humble.
Bojing Lao Ni said: "I shouldn't have seen guests in the place where Concubine Fang lived, but I moved over with my old face." Thinking about the future, I can follow the master, so as not to find the entrance and exit. Who will serve her? ”
Zhuo Yiting heard that he understood a little, and now this house was where the dead concubine lived. Looking around again, Fang felt extremely simple, as a favorite concubine for a time, she was desolate and desolate after being abolished, which was really pitiful. Because I thought of my sister in the palace again, and thought about whether my sister was affected by the changes in the family, would she suffer like a waste concubine, and she would be like this in the future, isn't it miserable? She couldn't hold back her tears.
Bojing Laoni saw Zhuo Yiting wiping away his tears, as if he had just woken up, and said, "Why is the girl crying? ”
Zhuo Yiting didn't dare to sit down, stood next to Mr. Yao, listened to the old nun's concern, and stepped forward to bless, Sven replied: "Seeing the master talking and thinking of his family, I feel sad." ”
Mr. Yao was afraid that Zhuo Yiting would fall into the bottom of the bad thing, so he took over and said, "Who do you think she looks like in the old immortal family?" ”
Bojing Laoni took a closer look, couldn't think of it for a while, turned his head to look at Mr. Yao, Mr. Yao just smiled and didn't say anything. The old nun said: "It looks familiar, but I can't think of it." ”
Mr. Yao said: "It's Concubine Yuan's sister." ”
Bojing Lao Ni got up, looked at it carefully, and said, "It's also a good-faced person, but it's not like it." Girl, come and sit here. Zhuo Yiting slowly approached the old nun, sat down, and the old nun said again: "It's been a few years, Concubine Yuan mentioned it to me, but I forgot." ”
Zhuo Yiting didn't dare to be rude, carefully sat on his side, and said with a smile: "My sister can have today, thanks to the master's teachings. ”
Bojing Lao Ni sighed: "Everyone has his own life, and each flower has its own master." I don't know who will give whom blessings, in the end she will seek it herself. It's her who is blessed, and the bitter outsiders don't know, but it's also hers after all. ”
When Zhuo Yiting heard this, his tears couldn't be hidden, and he fell out.
Bojing Lao Ni said: "You came today, not only to bring me fruit medicine, right?" Glancing at Mr. Yao, his eyes were extremely soft and sharp, he said again: "There is another secret edict in the palace?" ”
Mr. Yao got up and made a gesture and said, "This time it's not about the palace, it's just ......."
Bojing Lao Ni breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You might as well say that she is Concubine Yuan's own person." Let's put it bluntly. ”
Mr. Yao said: "It's just that it has something to do with the palace." After Concubine Yuan gave birth, she heard that her health was not safe, so she won the emperor and the princess...... The queen mother's will summoned her sister to the palace to accompany her. ”
Bojing Lao Ni said: "This is not in accordance with the rules! The concubine has her own palace people to serve, when did our little master figure it out with that Ma Bailiu, and let you enter the palace to serve? ”
Bojing Lao Ni was quite unconvinced, and tucked the quilt lightly after speaking. At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, and the old nun spoke, and saw Chunguang leading the trained little nun to bring tea in.
Bojing Lao Ni said: "Pour Jing'an bamboo leaf tea for the Shike." ”
After listening to this, the little nun poured three cups in an orderly manner, and held them from Mr. Yao, Zhuo Yiting, and Sanxi in turn. Chunguang picked up a bowl of thick tartary buckwheat and gave it to the old nun, who took it, took a sip, and then said, "Give the three guests some fasting food." ”
The little nun answered, and the old nun Bojing saw that Chunguang did not move, so she said, "Chunguang, you also go with Huiyuan and clean up the two wings......
Mr. Yao said: "The old immortal family is polite, just one room." ”
Old Niwei smiled and understood. Chunguang and the little nun of Huiyuan answered and closed the door and went out.
Later, Bojing Lao Ni said: "I naturally know that Concubine Yuan has relatives in the capital, but I don't know why I didn't look for them, but came to look for me?" I didn't understand, and I didn't have a chance to ask Concubine Yuan. After a few years, I forgot about it. ”
Mr. Yao said: "Zhuo's family is the Zhuang Mansion, the old lady of the Zhuang Mansion is old, and she is not as good as the old immortal family, and because the old immortal family is to the Buddha and is kind, isn't it that Lord Zhuo wants the children of Concubine Yuan and Niangniang to also tend to be good?" The heart is excellent, so he won the help of the old immortal family. ”
Bojing Lao Nun said: "Raise the old nun." ”
Mr. Yao said: "The old immortal family knows Concubine Yuan's mother, and understands Entu. Lord Zhuo is also a kind person, these two girls ......"
Listening to this before, Zhuo Yiting realized that the old nun refused to help. Simply, Zhuo Yiting didn't want to hide it, so he hurriedly got up from the edge of the kang, knelt upright in front of the old nun, and cried: "I beg the master to take it in." ”
Mr. Yao's expression was about to stop, but it was not as fast as Zhuo Yiting's temperament and mouth. So, Zhuo Yiting described in detail how his house was copied, how his parents and brothers were, how he escaped, how the government went to the sea to catch documents, and how he was rejected when he went to Zhuangfu. After listening to this, Bojing Laoni was silent.
At the end, Mr. Yao said, "This is true, if you don't come to this field, you won't come to ask for help." This matter is not trivial, I advocate not to let the old immortal family know as well, and I hope the old immortal family will forgive. ”
Sanxi saw his own girl kneeling and kneeling, begging for everything, and his head was like a rice lick.
Mr. Yao still didn't let go when he saw Bojing Laoni, and said: "The treasure temple of Guixian Land is a blessing from the pilgrimage, and it is safe." A discerning person can see that Lord Zhuo has been wronged. The princes and princes in the officials are also pleading with Lord Zhuo to retract their confessions, and there is a great chance that they can show Xue. The situation of the mother in the palace is unknown, and now if the two girls and the young master fall outside, there is only a dead end. I hope that the old immortal family will be kind. ”
Bojing Laoni said coldly: "Mr. Yao, when Concubine Yuan came, it was you who led the way, but she was not so secretive tonight. But the girl is clever and straightforward. I think it's so clever that you can't stay anywhere for a long time. Why bother us in this barren land? ”
Mr. Yao said: "You don't have to stay for a long time, but you can leave after waiting for his father Zhaoxue, and the mother and the girl will not forget your great kindness!" Please bother the fairy treasure temple for a few days, I am really annoyed by the Qing Xiu of the old immortal family, please give me a few days to go around, inquire about the Zhuang Mansion, and let the people of the Zhuang Mansion pick up the second girl, do you think this is appropriate? ”
Zhuo Yiting said: "Mr. Yao is wrong, I didn't want to go to Zhuangfu, but I hated them for framing my father and mother." Entering the Zhuang Mansion is also to take revenge. But if you have the ability and opportunity to get in, you won't come to ask Master to take you in tonight. At the moment, it is Yiting who comes to visit the master for his sister, and kowtows to the master for his sister to thank him for his kindness. As he spoke, Zhuo Yiting fell to the ground and kowtowed.
After kowtowing, Zhuo Yiting got up, hid his face and cried to leave.
Bojing Lao Nidao waved his hand, his eyes glowed with anger, and said, "Girl, it's not that the old nun refuses to accept you. Yes, Zhuangfu is your own grandmother's house, I don't want you, it's their cold-blooded and ruthless. In the harem, calculating people's hearts, betraying relatives and friends abounds, there were in the old days, and it is not strange to see them now. Such people should go out and cut them with a thousand knives, they are guilty and cannot be punished! I don't keep you, it's reason, I can keep you is fate, it's the meaning of heaven. After a little slowdown, he said: "You can also stay, I have a condition." ”
Zhuo Yiting saw that there was a turn, so he knelt down again to listen.
Bojing Lao Ni said: "That's it, you stay." I remembered to talk to you again. It's not very embarrassing. It's too late, Mr. Yao, go back first! ”
Mr. Yao was overjoyed, thanked him again and again, flattered him again, and was about to leave, when he heard a sound outside the door and window.
Bojing Lao Nun was calm, but Mr. Yao was nervous, went out and opened the door, and saw that it was the middle-aged nun of Chunguang who brought some fasting.
Chunguang was embarrassed and flashed: "Xiao Ni was about to knock on the door, but he opened it without wanting to be a donor." ”
Mr. Yao nodded and saluted, looked back at Zhuo Yiting solemnly, and then bowed to Bojing Laoni again before leaving. Zhuo Yiting understood Mr. Yao's solemn eyes, worried that what Fang had just said would be heard by Chunguang, and even more worried that when Huiyuan humiliated her today, she would be disgusted to rectify them. So, as soon as Mr. Yao left, Zhuo Yiting really blessed Chunguang deeply, and said, "Master Labor." "I want to get her in the way.
Bojing Lao Ni saw Zhuo Yiting's gifts, and said, "The girl is fifteen or sixteen, right?" ”
Zhuo Yiting said: "It's rude, I haven't reported my family name to the master, my name is Zhuo Yiting, that's my girl's three joys." I'm seventeen years old, and I'm fifteen. ”
Bojing Laoni smiled: "It's clever, even more than your sister." Alas...... Pure light, the apprentice you accepted is also seventeen, right? It's fate, then let Huiyuan lead them to rest, so that they can be entertained, and these meals will be brought to the room to eat. Don't clean up other places, let you live in the wing room where Concubine Yuan came to live before. I came out and said for a while, I'm tired, go ahead. ”
After quitting the old nun and going out, she saw the little nun Huiyuan coming at the door with a breath, and said to her master Chunguang: "Master, the wing room is cleaned up." ”
Chunguang didn't speak, threw the vegetarian food he was holding into Huiyuan's hand, walked in front coldly, Huiyuan followed, Zhuo Yiting and Sanxi breathed a sigh of relief and followed closely, only a few steps away, suddenly a red figure flashed in the air, Sanxi thought it was dazzling, Zhuo Yiting then thought, as if he had seen such a touch of red somewhere.
