Chapter 37: On the eve of the Buddha's birthday
Weiyang Mountain Cattle Ding, Niu Mao. After the concerted efforts of several people, the house made of pure wood and carved was almost completed. There are some trivial things that don't need to be dealt with by Zhu Yiyi personally.
Niu Ding handed over the rest of the money. Before leaving, he praised Zhu Yiyi, Zhu Carpenter is really a good hand, the house looks clean and neat, generous, carved and decent, inlaid decently, and gives people a comfortable feeling everywhere. Niu Ding gave a thumbs up.
Lilac here also carefully put the finishing touches on the house.
Chen Busi was tired from work, so he lay straight on the wooden bed in the room, thoughtful. "Lilac, you see, under a small roof, we may be kept in captivity for a lifetime, without it, as if there is no way back, you say it is very strange. I can't find the way ahead, but I can find the way back. A couch, an acre of fertile land, and a woman who loves each other is enough for this life. ”
Ding Xiang put down the work in her hand and looked at Chen Busi, "Brother Busi, which woman are you thinking about?" But I had that in my heart. ”
Chen Busi heard Ding Xiang say this about himself, and a shy expression appeared on his face.
"Lilac, where are the women? Don't talk nonsense. ”
"Where is the gratuitous nonsense, don't think about my brother, have you forgotten Aunt Zhu Zhen, Zhu Zhen saved you with her life."
At this time, Niu Mao walked in from outside, "Lilac, what do you say?" Who saved whom? It's so sad to put it bluntly. ”
As soon as Lilac saw Niu Mao coming over, she vaguely heard some content, so she quickly changed the topic, "Brother Niu Mao, I don't think about my brother in order to save your mother, so I didn't think about anything, and I gave up my life." Is this friendship big? ”
"Of course. My Niu Mao is Niu Mao, not my brother Niu Ding, the person I treat in my heart will be the Lord who will repay with my life in the future. Chen Busi listened, and suddenly sat up, "Niu Mao, where do you need to pay it with your life?" I don't want you to repay me with your life. ”
Lilac looked at the cow and said in a firm tone, without a trace of doubt in her eyes. It's very gratifying, after all, this brother is Niu Ding Niu Mao eight years ago, and he wanted to design and frame Chen Ziqi. Looking at this situation now, if this Niu Ding Niu Mao brother knew Chen Busi's identity, he would probably understand human nature and let Chen Busi go.
"Brother Niu Mao, look, my family doesn't think about my brother, but I don't want you to pay it back, and you don't want to do treachery in the future." Lilac then said to the cow.
"Lilac, haha, your brother who doesn't think about it, you have become a family, this relationship is good. I married Lilac without thinking about my brother. ”
"You, what nonsense are you talking about, Brother Niu Mao?" Lilac blushed.
"Lilac, this brother will also be my family's Chen Busi in the future, then, we are a family, then, you Lilac is my own sister, no, it's my brother and sister." Lilac was not shy when she heard this, so she ran away in embarrassment.
"You are a cow, when will you learn to be like your eldest brother Niu Ding? Mouths of words that are out of the way. Chen Busi didn't care too much about Niu Mao's words, the straight road was just a joke by Niu Mao.
"This clove, I just said it casually, and I got angry."
"Brother Niu Mao, Lilac is not the person who is careful, and he will definitely not blame you."
"That's good, that's good."
Chen Busi walked out of the house and saw Lilac standing far away next to a tree, with her head down, thinking about something.
He paused a little before walking towards Lilac. "Lilacs." Chen Busi shouted.
"Don't think about my brother, what's wrong?" Lilac asked Chen Busi.
"It's the Buddha's Birthday in two days, you tell the tailor that time, and you will meet at the gate of Hantan Temple that day, and then we will go in together. Remember to convince the tailor that we must return this friendship. ”
"Don't worry, don't think about my brother, as long as I go out of the house, Shi Xiangyun won't dare not go. By the way, don't think about my brother, can you tell me about the Buddha's birthday? ”
Chen Busi smiled slightly, "Lilac, there are still two days, I can't wait, the affairs of the Buddhist family are very cautious, you can just go and see it yourself when the time comes." ”
"Okay then." Lilac lowered her head again, not looking at Chen Busi. In my heart, I was still a little shy about what the other party said.
Shi Xiangyun's side.
That Shi Xiangyun still has some expectations for the Buddha's Birthday in his heart, if not for anything else, just to see some well-behaved sons and brothers, and to see the dignity of the city lord of Weiyang City, he is still excited to think about it.
Shall I wear a shiny outfit that day? Or is it better to be simple and simple? And the brother Nabu is too, you have to cover your face to get in. Alas, it may be difficult to think about the hospitality of brothers, no matter how much.
Shi Xiangyun took out a lot of clothes in his closet, looked at them one by one, was not satisfied, and then looked at the next one. Until I saw a decent dress, my eyes lit up.
Besides, the city lord of Weiyang City, the city lord is about forty years old, seven feet tall, and he is a little majestic, and he is the highest ruler of the entire Weiyang Mountain, and he lives in Weiyang City. There is a large hall in this Weiyang City, which is the place where he deals with the affairs of Weiyang Mountain every day.
Since Guo Jingqi's birthday collided with a woman named Zhu Zhen on that day, he has been thinking about it in his heart, not thinking about tea, not thinking about food. Because Zhu Zhen looks very much like one of his daughters, but his daughter died of illness more than ten years ago. The city lord of Weiyang City has no heirs under his knees, and that daughter is the blood and blood of his life, but on that day, he let himself suffer the pain of losing his daughter and dying young.
"Doctor Superintendent, I'll send you to do a personal matter." The lord of the city sat in front of the main hall on this day and said to the supervising doctor.
The supervising doctor stayed in front of the city lord, and he rarely listened to the city lord talk about letting him do private affairs, but today he saw that the city lord was preoccupied, and he was puzzled, "What is the private matter that the city lord does?" ”
"Doctor Superintendent, I want you to have time to go to the Wu family, which is the Wu Youwu family of some forces outside Weiyang City."
"What are you going to do at the Wu family?"
"A maid in the Wu family is like my daughter who has been dead for more than ten years, you just need to ask who Zhu Zhen is?"
"Well, why didn't the city lord ask it himself? Since there is some fate, the city lord himself went to ask, and when he saw it, he knotted his heart. The city lord was silent for a long time, "That's fine. ”
"Two days will be the Buddha's Birthday, every year the Buddha's Birthday event I will participate as the city lord of Weiyang City, this year I will not participate in this capacity, you went to inform the Yu Qing host, this matter can not be publicized, I will definitely appear that day, as an ordinary noble person to participate."
"Okay, city lord, I've made a note of it, and I'll do it tomorrow."
"By the way, the supervising doctor, have I been involved in any grievances in Weiyangshan recently?" The lord of the castle looked at the supervising doctor.
"Back to the city lord, there has never been. In the area of Weiyang Mountain, the people live in peace, there are no hungry people on the road, and there are no injustices. ”
"So good, so good." The lord of the city sat upright, with a little relief in his heart.
The backyard of Hantan Temple. Yu Qing presided over the convening of a group of monks in the temple. "Yanqing, there are two days before the Buddha's birthday, the day is approaching, on that day, we and other monks need to bathe and change clothes, worship the Buddha, fasting monks, ring the bell and chanting the scriptures, and bathe the Buddha. It is also necessary to treat the guests with high morals with high etiquette, and not to offend the guests, as well as the city lord of Weiyang City and others. ”
Deacon Yanqing received the order and gave the order to go down. The monks left one after another.
Only that does not stay where it is. "No, what are you doing here? Don't hurry up and leave. ”
Deacon Yanqing looked at the amount on the side. But then he came to his senses, "Oh, okay, Deacon Yanqing. He touched his head. He walked behind Deacon Yanqing.
"Deacon Yanqing, I don't think my junior brother said the day before yesterday that he would come to participate in this grand event of the Buddha family on the Buddha's birthday, will he really come?" Deacon Yanqing listened and muttered behind him.
"Don't measure, do your own work, don't think about returning to the world, we monks must not have emotional greed."
"Okay, Deacon Yanqing, I remember." But in his heart, he thought that Deacon Yanqing was so unreasonable, how could he say that Chen Busi was also a lay disciple who had lived under his nose for eight years.
In any case, I am happy to see that this Buddha's birthday is coming.
After a while, he went back to the house and cleaned the room, then washed the pile of dirty clothes, and then went back to the house to study the scriptures.
As long as I thought that I would be able to see Chen Busi in two days, I was secretly happy in my heart, this Chen Busi. Chen Busi's clothes were disheveled, he sat up in a panic, leaned against the table, held a pen in his hand, and read the scriptures in his mouth. The high seven dora trees, and the words of the Buddha. The World-Honored One, my second son, has done Buddha deeds, and has changed my evil mind with his supernatural powers, so that he can settle down in the Dharma and see the World-Honored One. These two sons are both good knowledge of me, in order to initiate the good roots of the world, benefit me, and give birth to my family in the future. ”
"This Chen Busi, alas, no, don't think about it, you must remember the words of Deacon Yanqing: Don't think about it has returned to the world, and we monks must not have emotional greed." Without measuring his mouth, he said to himself, calmed down, picked up a scripture book by himself, and slowly went deep into it.
