Chapter 104 What is the taste of man?
People didn't come to see the giant phoenix, nor did they come to see the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, but to see the large-scale fundraising giant phoenix merit monument at the door.
The inscription was written by Lu County Commander of Wannian County himself, which clearly described the causes and consequences of the construction of the giant phoenix, and also re-expressed the merits of Empress Wende's mother in the world.
The last name - the words written by Lu Changming, the county commander of Wannian County.
At the bottom of the article, it is engraved with the sages from all walks of life who donated money for the construction of the giant phoenix, how much they donated, how they donated it, and where the money was spent, all of which were clearly written and understood.
There is no word of so-and-so on the above, there is no word of so-and-so, so-and-so, and even except for the name of Lu Changming, who has passed the county order, there is no name of a man, it is completely ranked according to the amount of donations, as for Li Changyunchu, the name of Fangzheng Liu Yi is not worthy of being engraved at all.
In order to prevent some people from having bad eyesight, the words are very large.
Yun Chu has not yet reached the crown, so when facing a group of women, he didn't pay too much attention to it, especially when he heard that Yun Chu was still too a student, those old women with a pair of triangular eyes looked at him because they were too old, and they finally no longer looked at dogs.
"Mrs. Lu, please see, the Sumeru seat under the giant phoenix is the silver money obtained after the sale of the lady's hairpin ring, and the best boulder in the Zhongnan Mountain purchased is carved, the advantage of this stone is that the texture is delicate, and there will be a glittering glimmer after polishing, coupled with the top craftsmen of Chang'an day and night to build, in the next finally did not live up to the trust of the lady, and the lady's admiration for Empress Wende was placed here."
Mrs. Lu was obviously a little dissatisfied, and pointed to Juhuang and said, "Whose money does Juhuang use?" ”
Yun Chu smiled: "The official's money." ”
I heard that Mrs. Lu, who did not use her personal money to build a giant phoenix, and exchanged jewelry for a Sumeru seat, finally became happy, and it was obvious that her money was used in the position closest to the giant phoenix, which was very dignified.
"It's very good, it's so orderly and promising to do things at a young age." Mrs. Lu casually praised Yun Chu with salt and vinegar, and passed under the giant phoenix to prepare to go to the Great Ci'en Temple to worship the Buddha.
When passing by the merit box, he glanced at Liu Yi, who was smiling like a pug, and asked the housekeeper to throw golden beans into it, and embarked on a clean road to the Great Ci'en Temple surrounded by a group of people.
I didn't meet an irrelevant idler along the way, and I didn't let the skirt that almost mopped the floor stain with dust, and the little beggar with all kinds of poor and strange looks was not seen, which led to a lot of old women being very satisfied with the management of Jinchangfang.
With the Lu family taking the lead in giving money, the people behind also formed a convention, and after losing money one by one, they entered Jinchangfang.
A large group of nobles entered, and then, some nameless women also followed to enter, obviously their hands were trembling when they threw three copper plates into the merit box, but they still ignored Liu Yi's obstruction and insisted on going in to worship the Buddha.
After everyone who should go in went in, Di Renjie, who was standing in the distance and watching the excitement, walked over, directly picked up the merit box and shook it, weighed the weight, and then said to Yun Chu: "According to today's income, it is not difficult to get fifty yuan a month." ”
Yun Chu said angrily: "Is it appropriate to talk about these things at this time? ”
Di Renjie looked up at the giant phoenix that was about to fly, and then looked at the splendid Da Ci'en Temple not far away, nodded and said: "There is a smell of Ah Blockage everywhere here, which is somewhat refreshing.
Tell me how much money you've left over from the money you've fundraised? I'd like to plan my use carefully. ”
Yun Chu sighed and said, "All of them were used for the construction of the Fang Gate and some of the surrounding projects. ”
Di Renjie blinked three times when he saw Yun Chu speak, and then said with satisfaction: "Sancheng? That's good, so I still have seventy percent of my money to spend on other things.
What's next for you? ”
"Continue to make a fuss around the Great Ci'en Temple, and make this good article enough, at least so that these old people who are dedicated to the Buddha can have a place to eat and recite the Buddha across the wall of the Da Ci'en Temple."
Di Renjie nodded and said: "Those snacks in your family are really good, and you can also use the name of Jingshe to sell food, not only avoiding the jurisdiction of the eastern and western cities, but also not having to pay taxes, how much you earn, how much you pocket, wonderful." ”
When Di Renjie measured Yun Chu, he never hesitated to think of him very badly, just because of this, he still thought that he overestimated Yun Chu's character.
"There aren't many places where you can build a retreat, but the opposite side of the residence of the students of the Four Disciplines is a good place.
You let these female dependents of high-ranking families live opposite the students of the four schools, are you trying to make a fuss about other people's female dependents? ”
Yun Chu looked at this scumbag coldly and was silent.
Di Renjie said: "I live in the room with plum blossoms on the wall, the one with the "Burrow Ming", but the window is not big enough, I hope you can expand it for me, when the summer comes, I want to make tea in front of the window and chant poetry." ”
"I never thought you were like that." For the first time, Yun Chu felt that Di Renjie was not a good person.
"When I was six years old, I listened to my father's case decision through the curtain, and to this day, I have heard with my own ears and seen with my own eyes that there are no less than a thousand cases, many of which seem to be the same, but in fact they are very different.
In the court, I have seen a lot of ugly things in the world, and I have seen a lot of joys and sorrows, and I am used to seeing the stubborn people in the world.
Many bad people have the smell of bad people themselves, and in some cases, I don't even need to ask, just use my nose to sniff to know what is right and who is wrong.
So, we can actually be honest with each other and don't have to hide it. ”
Yun Chu looked at this Di Renjie, who claimed to be able to sniff out the villain with his nose, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is the smell on my body?" ”
Di Renjie shook his head and said, "The smell on your body is very strange, it is a smell that I have only seen in my life. ”
Yun Chu smiled: "It's not strange, I often use cypress incense to smoke clothes." ”
Di Renjie smiled: "Do you know why I don't like you even though I like to get along with you?" ”
Yun Chu also felt strange, from the time the two met to the present, the process was actually not pleasant, and he didn't understand why they could still get along with each other.
"I have seen the food of your servants, and they are well fed, and they have seen their clothes, they are warmly dressed, their shoes are new, and the scars on their hands and feet, and their heads and faces are old, and when they laugh, they are not only smiling, but also their eyes are full of smiles.
What does this mean, it shows that you have never treated them harshly, and they are very content with their current lives.
There is a family surnamed Zhou in Jinchangfang, a family of four, and there is only one man in this family who is still disabled with two legs.
One day, I watched this crippled man sitting on a new wooden wheeled flatbed and looking up at the pine trees above his head, and whenever a pine needle fell, he immediately picked it up, and did not dare to let go for a moment.
I asked him why he waited for the pine needles to fall in the cold of winter, and he replied that the lieutenant did not allow a single pine needle on the road.
When I heard this, I was furious, and I was ready to settle accounts with you, and you were so harsh on a crippled person, it was inhuman.
Who would have thought that the cripple would beg me not to go to you, and that if he would not let the pine needles fall to the ground, you would give him thirty dollars and two tuits of corn at the end of the month. For the thirty dollars and two buckets of rice, he was willing to wait under the pine tree for the pine needles to fall, so that his stupid wife and two children could be fed. Therefore, he didn't think that waiting for the pine needles to fall in the cold wind was suffering, compared with the hunger and cold of the whole family, eating the suffering in front of him was nothing.
After talking to the cripple, I suddenly understood what you smelled like. ”
Yun Chu laughed and said, "It's still cypress incense, I take a bath all day long, and it won't smell." ”
Di Renjie looked at Yun Chu's eyes and said word by word: "What you exude is a human smell, a smell that a person should exude!"
It's because there are so few people in the world who exude a purely human smell that I forget that this smell is supposed to be the most familiar. ”
Yun Chu laughed and said, "Don't you think I'm a bad guy now? ”
Di Renjie shook his head and said, "It's not strange that the villain has a human smell on his body, and it's not strange that the gentleman has a smell of beasts.
Good and bad are just means, not worth mentioning. ”
Yun Chu frowned and said, "What is the smell on your body?" ”
Di Renjie shook his head and said: "People can't decide to eat themselves, of course I don't know what the original taste is, and one day I will be lucky enough to be tasted, and then it is not too late to discuss my taste, but before that, do a little bit of what a person should do." ”
After listening to Di Renjie's words, Yun Chu felt that he should tell him about his steps in Jinchangfang.
After all, the more people who smell of humanity, the fewer beasts, and the fewer beasts, the fewer opportunities to be put on the table.
Overall, this is a good thing.
In the evening, Liu Yi sneakily entered the Yun family with the merit box, Cui took the key from his neck, and after opening the merit box with Liu Yi, he carefully counted the golden beans and copper plates inside, and finally recorded them in an account book, and Cui put the money away.
Liu Yi reluctantly walked away with the empty box on his back, and his mind was full of a large pile of copper plates and a few golden beans mixed in the middle.
How much should that be-Liu Yi, who was carrying the merit box on his back, wanted to shout, but finally shut up and put the empty merit box back in its place.
Cui Shi collected the money, and happily ran over to Yun Chu and said, "Our family has another five yuan in the account today." ”
Yun Chu nodded and said, "Very good, keep a good record of the accounts, but don't mix it with the accounts at home." ”
Cui's laid out the futon for Yun Chu, and went out lightly, she was really happy, if the Yun family according to the current income, within ten years, as long as Lang Jun's official position went up, Chang'an City would definitely have a new rich family.
Before going to bed, Yun Chu looked around, but he didn't find the lynx big fat, and found the messy calligraphy and painting written by Naha from under the pillow, and after reading it, he put it back under the pillow, blew out the candle, and fell asleep with a smile.
