Chapter 33: The little monk is not convinced
The carriage was very bumpy, Shen Ao and Chun'er were shoulder to shoulder, opposite Zhou Ruo's mother and daughter, the mixed body fragrance was full of Shen Ao's nose, Shen Ao was very depressed.
It's a good thing to share a car with a beautiful woman, but it's another thing entirely to pretend to be very simple and holy. Shen Ao put his knees together, but his shoulders still collided with Chun'er intentionally or unintentionally, and he was uneasy, but he wanted to make a casual chat with his wife as if he didn't know it.
Mrs. is a believer in Lingyin Temple, and on the first day of every month, she has to go to repay her vows, and by the way, donate some sesame oil money to Lingyin Temple. On this day, Mrs. was very happy, and asked Shen Ao's mother if she had ever gone to the temple to make a vow, Shen Ao naturally nodded, talking nonsense, saying that he had a serious illness when he was just born, and he invited many Lang Zhong to come and could not be cured, so his mother went to the temple to petition and drew lots. As a result, when he returned from the temple, Shen Ao's illness improved.
The lady's eyes lit up, and she said, "Your child is very Buddha-like, and your mother must be a believer, and she is blessed by the Buddha." ”
Zhou Ruo saw that her mother kept talking to Shen Ao, and she felt a little jealous in her heart, she knew Shen Ao's personality too well, seeing people talking about everyone, and talking nonsense when she saw her, this must have been made up to make her mother happy.
However, Chun'er really thought that Shen Ao had been seriously ill in the past, and when she heard Shen Ao's eloquent speech, she sweated for him very worriedly. Knowing that Shen Ao's illness would definitely be cured, he was always uneasy in his heart.
Mrs. asked Shen Ao's mother what lottery she had drawn, and Shen Ao said seriously: "Mother once told me, I want to think about it, by the way, let the noble person encounter Shui Yunqing, and the cold friendship will be long." The opening of the Yellow Pavilion delays the old guests, and Hua deserves to be suddenly healthy. Madam, Shen Ao didn't understand the matter of unsigning, and he didn't know what it meant. But my mother asked for it for me, so I remember it. ”
Mrs. smiled: "This is the auspicious sign, which means that you will be able to meet a noble person early in the future, and you will be promoted by a noble person, and you will rise to the top." In addition, the house is also stable wind and water conservancy, illness safety, pregnancy and childbirth, safety, and everything is auspicious. ”
"Wow...... It turns out that everything is auspicious. Shen Ao was shocked and said, "Madame knows so much, the sign said that I could meet a noble person earlier, isn't this noble person Madame?" It can also get rid of illness and be safe, it seems that this sign is very spiritual. ”
Madame smiled very happily, Shen Ao's sentence was really a pun, while implying that he could meet a nobleman. On the other hand, Mrs. secretly praised her for being well-informed. Madame restrained her smile, thinking in her heart: "It seems that this child not only has a Buddha fate, but also a very good fate with me, am I really a noble person set by the Buddha Lord for this child in his previous life?" ”
Thinking about it like this, Madame became closer to Shen Ao. Zhou Ruo winked at Shen Ao, at this moment, she had to admire this guy, he could make up a story in just a few words, and every detail of the story was perfect and impeccable. first proved that he had a Buddha fate, so that his mother, who believed in Buddhism, had a good impression of him. Then tell a bizarre story, make up a sign, and let the mother explain, which can not only let the mother show the ability to unsign, but also use a noble person or something to imply that the mother is destined to be a nobleman.
"This guy is really scary, be careful in the future." Miss Zhou was in a very complicated mood, she had some gratitude to Shen Ao, and more of the wisdom that penetrated his crooked thoughts, this wisdom made her mood even more complicated, knowing that this person was insidious and cunning, no, it should be a slippery head, but why was she always a little upset with him. Whether Shen Ao is disgusted or respected, Zhou Ruo can't tell the difference.
Before you know it, the carriage stopped at the foot of a mountain, the autumn breeze was cool, and the red maple forest at the foot of the mountain rustled and the fallen leaves were sprinkled one after another. The carriage stopped, the four of them got out of the car, and walked up the steep stone steps of the mountain road, and the Lingyin Temple was on the mountainside, and the bells were ringing solemnly. When she arrived here, the lady's face became solemn, revealing the piety of a good girl, and Chun'er and Zhou Ruo supported her left and right up the mountain.
Shen Ao along the road to enjoy the scenery here, out of a body of sweat, Lingyin Temple finally arrived, the temple is quiet and elegant, from here to the mountain, the red maple forest at the foot of the mountain seems to have become a cluster of bright red flowers, very eye-catching.
Xiao Sha Mi at the door stepped over with his palms folded and saluted his wife: "The female residence is so early today? Zen Master Kongdu has been waiting in the treasure hall for a long time. ”
This novice must have recognized Mrs., Mrs. is a big donor of Lingyin Temple, dozens of people in the temple rely on her alms, other pilgrims go in, Shami clasps his palms and shouts a Buddha horn at most, but it is completely different when he sees his wife.
"Wow...... The temple originally also had VIP services, and people are really different from each other, and it's good to have money. Shen Ao secretly slandered in his heart, but he smiled at Sha Mi very gently on his face, laughing at him to death.
The lady bowed slightly: "Bother the little master to lead the way." Ruo'er, Shen Ao, you and Xiang'er take a walk and rest, and I'll listen to the Zen master's lectures. ”
The lady left with the little novice, Shen Ao finally got brisk, Chun'er chirped on the side, and said, "Brother Shen, let's go to the mangosteen house to drink tea and eat pastries, there are two monks here, one can make tea, the other can make pastries, the tea is good, and the pastries are also very good." Many pilgrims come from hundreds of miles to try their craft. ”
Zhou Ruo felt thirsty at the moment, and said in his mouth: "It's been a long time since I've eaten Zen Master Kongding's tea and Zen Master's pastries." ”
The three of them arrived at the mangosteen house, which is not far from the Daxiong Treasure Palace, the location is relatively partial, just on the edge of the mountainside, from here you can see the bottom of the mountain from the window, and you can also see the faint mist that permeates the foot of the mountain. This is the temple for pilgrims to rest, three people go in, there is a welcome novice to come, this kind of small novice is the best at observing words and feelings, look at Zhou Ruo, Shen Ao, Xiang'er's dress, behavior, you know that it is a big family out, invite them in, mouth said: "Donors don't wait, my master immediately brewed tea and pastries, and soon sent them." ”
With that, he went to inform the kitchen.
Shen Ao remembered one thing and asked Zhou Ruo: "Isn't the temple forbidden to women?" How did I bump into so many female pilgrims here. ”
Zhou Ruo pouted: "This is the rule of which temple, good men and women have it, do you teach women to listen to Zen outside the temple?" ”
Oh, Shen Ao nodded, it seemed that he had been misled, so he wandered around the camellia room with great interest, looking at the calligraphy and paintings framed on the wall. There are two styles of calligraphy and painting, and the calligraphy imitates Wang Xizhi's cursive "Chu Mu Ti". At first glance, it looks a bit like a god. But take a closer look, the flaws come, in order to deliberately imitate Wang Xizhi's style, the calligrapher is too delicate and artificial, a bit of a tiger is not an anti-dog.
As for the painting, it is not bad, the pen is more than round, and it looks very harmonious. It's just that the painter deliberately seeks truth, but loses that kind of ancient and chic artistic conception.
Chun'er also came over and asked, "Brother Shen, are these calligraphy and paintings very good?" Why are you looking so seriously? ”
Shen Ao smiled slightly, and said in a very firm tone: "These calligraphy and paintings are inferior works, but the author has a foundation, but he is too dull and completely unelegant. The only thing worth admiring is that this line of book still has some merit, at least its layout is not bad, but the words are too bad. As for this painting, haha......" Shen Ao smiled and said very conceitedly: "The one I drew with my toes is better than it." ”
Chun'er smiled slightly, she was convinced of Shen Ao's painting skills, and was about to follow Shen Ao's words. But a childish voice came from the concierge: "The donor is so loud that he actually said that my master's and uncle's calligraphy and painting are not good, and the guests who come here are full of praise when they see their paintings, and you are too unreasonable." ”
Shen Ao turned around, and it turned out to be the little novice who had gone and returned, holding a tray in his hand, with tea and pastries in dishes. Suddenly, there seemed to be a smell of tea wafting in the whole mountain house, and the style of the pastry was also very good-looking, as if it was a work of art carved quietly, with all the colors and fragrances.
Shen Ao didn't expect his words to be heard by Xiao Shami, so he touched his nose in embarrassment and said, "Offended, offended, but the words and paintings written by your master and uncle are indeed flawed, and I just feel it." ”
Xiao Shami put the tray on the several cases in front of Zhou Ruo, and glared at Shen Ao angrily: "Okay, I'll call my master and uncle to see if you dare to say this in front of them. He was dedicated to protecting his elders, his face was red with anger, tears were shining with tears, he wiped his eyes and nose with his sleeve, and flew to move the rescuers.
