The mountains and forests of Weiyang Mountain, which had been invaded by rainy nights, recedered in the early morning, and the dampness was hidden in the misty fairyland.

The bell of Hantan Temple, a new day begins. The monks got up in their new clean clothes. Last night, the things in the house were neatly tied, and the corners and corners were cleaned spotlessly.

In the early morning, the monks do the same thing on this Buddha's birthday, carrying water, cleaning the courtyard again, ringing the bell and chanting the Buddha, lighting the fire and making fasting meals, and everyone is busy.

At this time, the highly respected, the ceremonial, the elderly, the virtuous, etc., including the owner of the Qingtan Nunnery, the city lord of Weiyang City, and others have not yet arrived at this Hantan Temple. Preparations still need to be done in advance.

"No, how did you do what you were told to do last night?" Deacon Yanqing walked up to Buliang and asked him, who was watching over a few monks to fetch water into a few large vats and fill them.

"Deacon Yanqing, I promise that every detail of the work will be taken care of, and I will not miss the Buddha at that time."

"That's good. No, remember to vacate a house as soon as possible, the city lord of Weiyang City will discuss with Yu Qing and others here, and there are plenty of tea and pastries. ”

"Okay, Deacon Yanqing, I'll arrange it." After speaking, Buliang led the two little monks to clean up their rooms and come out to use them as a temporary meeting hall.

Hu Amei, the owner of Qingtan Nunnery, also instructed Shi Qian (that is, Tang Yu) to serve the monarch early in the morning.

Today's Hantan Temple was accompanied by the two of them to participate in the Buddha's Birthday. "Shiqing, today's Buddha's Birthday, you and Shijun will go with me, my Qingtan Nunnery is far away from Hantan Temple, I have arranged a carriage to wait outside the nunnery, you two hurry up to change into clean clothes, I will wait for you two outside the nunnery."

As soon as the waiter heard that the owner of the nunnery, Hu Amei, had temporarily changed his decision to go alone, he hurried to his own house to change his clothes.

The two of them changed their clothes and came out, and got into the carriage. Hu Amei then took out a few cakes from her pocket, "Come, waiter, you can't eat in the morning, you two can eat some cakes and pads." ”

The waiter took the cake, and the waiter said to the owner of the nunnery, Hu Amei, "The owner of the nunnery, you can also come and eat some." So she broke half of the bread and gave it to her.

"Ayu, I've eaten it just now, you can take it back, and then I need to tell the two of you a few words, after arriving at Hantan Temple, everything must be arranged by the temple, don't move around at will, don't talk too much, don't talk to strangers at will, and we must be cautious in our words and deeds above the women's hall. At noon tea, Yu Qing will arrange a separate room for us, and the monks of Hantan Temple will send tea and rice, and the tea and rice will not be wasted regardless of whether it is good or bad. Etiquette is important in every tiny detail. You know? ”

The squire agreed in unison, "I remember the master of the nunnery." ”

Early in the morning, Lilac also got up.

After dressing himself up, he went to find Chen Busi, "Brother Busi, get up." ”

Chen Busi had already gotten up, dusted off the dust on his clothes, washed his face, and tidied up his hair. "Lilac, I'll be fine right away." Chen Busi's voice woke up the sleeping Niu Ding Niu Mao.

Niu Ding hurriedly put on his clothes and walked out of the door, "Lilac, what are you going to do?" I can't miss Niu Mao. ”

Seeing that Ding Xiang still couldn't hide from this Niu Ding, she was also uncomfortable in her heart, and she didn't know how to talk to Niu Ding. "Brother Niu Ding, I don't think about my brother, you and Niu Mao can stay at home."

"That's not good, Lilac, say okay, we can do anything together, but we can't miss Niu Ding Niu Mao."

Seeing that she couldn't get rid of this Niu Ding Niu Mao, Ding Xiang said directly, "Brother Niu Ding, do you know this Buddha's birthday?" ”

"Buddha's birthday? Of course I know, it's a festival of the Buddhist family, what does it have to do with us ordinary people? ”

"We're going to Hantan Temple to attend the Buddha's Birthday, I guess you're not interested, right?"

"Participate in the Buddha's Birthday, okay, okay, how can I not be interested, my Niu Ding is very interested, Lilac, you can talk to Brother Chen Busi, let our brother go too?"

"This, Brother Niu Ding, I can't be the master of this, it's better for you and Brother Busi to talk about it."

Lilac and Niu Ding were talking, Niu Mao also put on his clothes and went out, so Chen Busi pushed the door open, "Brother Niu Ding Niu Mao, you still don't want to go, there are too many people to disturb the order of the temple, and I, Chen Busi, am responsible." ”

"Don't think about brothers, I'm Niu Ding and Niu Mao brothers, there are not many of them, we won't move around at will, disrupting the order, you can rest assured."

At this time, Niu Mao saw that his eldest brother Niu Ding insisted on going, and also said, "Don't think about cloves, we all listen to you, let's go with us." ”

"Then, okay, Niu Ding Niu Mao, since you insist on going, hear clearly, don't walk around in the temple, don't mess with the things in the temple, don't speak loudly, there are some people who are respectable, big people, and people with noble etiquette, don't go in and act casually, which makes people laugh."

"Okay, don't think about brothers, since that's the case, then my two brothers will stuff two stones in their mouths to ensure that they don't talk nonsense, and Lilac looks at us and keeps them from walking around."

Chen Busi laughed when he heard Niu Ding's words. "Alright then, Niu Ding Niu Mao, put on your clothes neatly, clean your face, dust off your shoes, and blow off the dust of your clothes."

"Okay, Niu Mao and I will do it, you must wait for us outside the door." With that, Niu Ding Niu Mao went into the house and picked it up, and then said goodbye to the old lady together, and followed Chen Busi Lilac to Hantan Temple.

After walking for half an hour, they arrived at the gate of Hantan Temple, "This tailor Shi, I said that I would meet at the gate of Hantan Temple early, why is there no one?" ”

Lilac looked into the distance, looking at the way it came.

"Lilac, will that beautiful girl Tailor Shi also come?" Niu Ding looked at the anxious Lilac and asked.

Lilac didn't have the heart to pay attention to Niu Ding, so he didn't answer him.

"Lilac, don't worry, wait." Chen Busi said to Lilac.

At this time, I saw three people walking to the side of Hantan Temple from the way they came, although one of them was not dressed very gorgeously, but if you look closely, it is a little majestic, that person is the city lord of Weiyang City, accompanied by Cao Wen and Cao Wu.

The three of them walked in front of them, and Lilac stared at them for a long time, "This is a big man, and he walks differently." ”

Niu Ding smiled, "Lilac, where have you seen a big man, our brothers have seen a lot, there are famous and powerful Wu family friends in Weiyang Mountain, that's a big man, right?" ”

As soon as Niu Ding talked about the Wu family, Chen Busi was also a little timid in his heart, "Niu Ding, don't talk nonsense, don't say what you shouldn't say." Niu Ding shut up, and then looked at Niu Ding Niu Mao really stuffed two stones into his mouth.

"Don't say it, see if you still dare to talk nonsense, it will make my brother unhappy."

After a while, a carriage stopped not far away, and the three people who came down were three women, and when they looked at the pretend, they were the people in Cheongdam Nunnery.

Those three people are the owner of the nunnery, Hu Amei, who serves the monarch.

The three of them jumped out of the carriage and walked into the Hantan Temple together. "Cheongtan Nunnery? Should be. Lilac muttered to herself.

"This tailor is really going to die in a hurry." As he was talking, a figure appeared in the distance, and that person was Shi Xiangyun, the tailor of history.

A smile appeared on Lilac's face, "Don't think about my brother, look, Shi Xiangyun Shi Tailor." ”

Chen Busi looked into the distance, and it was really Shi Xiangyun's figure.

"Sister Shi, Sister Shi, hurry, I'm waiting for you." Tailor Shi panted and walked up to them, "I'm sorry, Lilac doesn't think brother, I'm a little late." ”

"Don't get in the way, Tailor Shi, it's not too late." Tailor Shi looked up at the Niu Ding Niu Mao brothers beside him again, "This ,......"

"Oh, Tailor Shi, it's okay, I asked the Niu Ding Niu Mao brothers to come, and when we meet Buliang, let Buliang take them in first, and then the three of us will go in together."

"Well, okay," Tailor Shi looked at Niu Ding Niu Mao's brother's mouth tightly closed, and his face was flushed, so he asked, "What's wrong with Niu Ding Niu Mao?" ”

Lilac laughed and didn't speak, and after a while, she said, "Leave them alone." ”

Buliang came out of the main hall, walked to the door, and saw Chen Busi, with joy on his face. "No, you can take the two brothers in first, and I'll go in later."

"Okay, no." After a while, he beckoned Niu Ding and Niu Mao followed him inside.

"Lilac, Tailor Shi, you have to cover your face." Chen Busi said to the two.

Lilac, Tailor Shi took out the scarf, covered half of his face, and then followed Chen Busi into the Hantan Temple. Everyone sat in the courtyard at the back, and the monks of Hantan Temple waited for their tea.

After a period of time, Hantan Temple began to ring the bell again, Yu Qing presided over the Buddha statue and entered the main hall, Yanqing deacon and Yinli walked in front, followed by Yu Qing presiding, and everyone followed.

Yu Qing presided over the Buddha statue respectfully placed on the table and began to bow three times. Then recite the scriptures silently. After the silent recitation, the people bowed nine times. After the salute, Yu Qing presided over the Buddha with a bowl in his hand and bathed the Buddha around the Buddha statue. After bathing in the Buddha, the monks recite the scriptures together. The people closed their eyes and listened to the scriptures.

No one dared to say a word in this process. After the ceremony, Deacon Yanqing arranged to come to the courtyard one by one. Eat fasting together.

Before fasting, everyone needs to wash their hands again with clean water before fasting. Yu Qing presided over the courtyard and introduced the visitors to everyone one by one.

"Giving to the people every month to give money to the treasurers, and to do righteousness. The invigilator of the people, Gu Sizhi. Yu Gongzi who donated scriptures. Wu Gongzi who gave money. Hu Amei, the owner of Cheongdam-an. Moral etiquette is correct. ”

When Yu Qing introduced the salute Chen Zheng, Tailor Shi was suddenly shocked, this Chen Zheng was not the person last night, fortunately he covered his face, otherwise he was really embarrassed.

But look at the salute Chen Zheng, the majesty is not reduced, there is a bit of heroism between the eyebrows, the dress is not very gorgeous, but it does not lose the majesty and etiquette, and the image of a big man. I regretted a little in my heart, why didn't I come down to talk to this man last night. At this time, I was moved and regretted.

Tailor Shi looked at Na Zheng in a daze. Lilac whispered in her ear, "Sister Shi, Sister Shi." What to see? So fascinating. ”
