195. Dao Yan solves doubts
Ying Tianfu went outside the city, and not far from Changganli you can see the Great Bao'en Temple. This building is under construction.
The weather was hot, and the hot soles of his shoes had to be pasted, and Cheng Yuan rode a horse through the bluestone streets.
Cheng Yuan will not build the Great Bao'en Temple all at once, this building is very large, built in full accordance with the standards of the palace, the scale of the building, the design of materials are similar to the palace.
Historically, the large-scale Bao'en Temple took more than ten years to complete, and the large amount of work is one of them, and the few craftsmen are the second.
Zhu Di is not in a hurry.
The construction of Dabao'en Temple is not something that can be completed in the blink of an eye, and it cannot be done too much.
It occupies too much labor in the Ming Dynasty, which hurts the vitality of the imperial court too much, and is not good for the people.
At the end of June, the sky of the capital is lake blue, the slightest cloud and mist floating, the air is cleaner than that of later generations, the branches and leaves of the green plum trees are verdant, and the main building complex of Dabao'en Temple has become a scale.
The foundations of the main hall, the apse and several main halls have been paved, and stones and timber are piled up everywhere, and craftsmen enjoy the shade under the trees.
A few monks arranged by Dao Yan lived in the large courtyard of Bao'en Temple on the periphery, and the craftsmen lived with them.
The building of Bao'en Temple was expanded from the inside out, so that the empty courtyard of the main hall and pavilion would be used by craftsmen in the future. There are large sheds.
"Zhenguo Gong is good." The craftsman carrying the materials nodded to Cheng Yuan and left respectfully.
"Grandpa Guo is here." The waiter of the Ministry of Works handed over a cup of herbal tea: "Look, how is this foundation." ”
"Very good, Zheng Shangshu." Cheng Yuan stepped on the open space with his hands behind his back and asked lightly.
"Zheng Shangshu has been discussing feng shui issues with Master Daoyan for the past few days." When the squire of the Ministry of Works laughs, there are a lot of folds on his face.
If Da Bao'en Temple is completed, Chengyuan is definitely a great achievement, Zhu Di will be very happy, and it is a good thing to accumulate merit in front of Zhu Laosi.
Cheng Yuan planned to find Dao Yan, but he didn't know if Yan lived in the Heavenly Realm Temple or the Jiming Temple, he always ran around in the temples in the capital.
"Come on, who transported these glazed tiles early, aren't you afraid of breaking them? It is still early in Dabao'en Temple, and there are no walls and pillars. ”
Cheng Yuan instructed the squire of the Ministry of Works that the timber around him must be kept away from the flames, so as not to run away from the water.
"It's all wood shavings, and if you throw a fire breaker down, it's a fire, and you can clean it up at once."
After Cheng Yuan finished speaking, he turned over and got on the horse.
Shi Kai smiled at the waiter of the Ministry of Works: "Grandpa Guo has been in a bad mood these days. ”
"Oh, I see." When the waiter of the Ministry of Works learned the reason, he immediately went to have someone clean up the wood foam.
The Heavenly Boundary Temple, the bell reverberates, very melodious.
"Master Dao Yan is here?"
The little monk saw that Cheng Yuan was dressed extraordinarily, and remembered that there was only one person in Da Ming Yingtian wearing an azure brocade robe, so he immediately bowed his head and said, "The host just came back." ”
"Tell me quickly." Shi Kai said with a horsewhip.
"Shi Kai, don't be rude, Master Daoyan is not an ordinary person."
"Hahaha, Lao Gu is a monk, an ordinary person." Dao Yan's ears were smart, and his voice came from afar like a bell.
Sure enough, the spirit of not being close to women is so good.
"Old monk, I want to become a monk these days." Cheng Yuan turned over and dismounted, and entered the temple.
Dao Yan entered the meditation room, sat on the futon, looked very energetic with a long beard, and said: "If you follow the poor monk to become a monk, Princess Ancheng will send someone to smash these small temples of Lao Gao." ”
"She's good-tempered."
"It's like this for mothers."
Dao Yan straightened out the monk's robe, looked at Cheng Yuan's face, had a number in his heart, and asked him if he was here to ask Peach Blossom.
"No, no, how can you be so unambitious for the sake of a woman." Cheng Yuan Dao.
The man next to him who opened his eyes and nose, and looked at his heart, who else wanted to save face and suffer from sin, who else but his boss really dared to blow it here at the face master.
"Oh, Yunnan Mufu is coming to Beijing in July. When the master is going to be lively and lively together? ”
"Your Majesty said that you want to marry the princess." Dao Yan then guessed: "Xianning, Changning, Kangning...... According to her age, it should be Princess Xianning. ”
Cheng Yuan felt that he had been stabbed in the heart.
Dao Yan saw something, but he didn't say it, and said with a smile: "The poor monk saw that Mr. Cheng was confused, so he sent you a poem." ”
"Confused? How could it be, I don't need poetry. Cheng Yuan said and urged Dao Yan to say something about poetry.
Dao Yan lifted the pen down, Cheng Yuan picked up the paper, a few lines:
Long Xianlong is hard to find, Bailian is not worried about everything, hesitation is only afraid that it is difficult to keep, and it is desperate or can be sought.
The matter of White Lotus should be resolved, Cheng Yuan put away the note and said, "Thank you Master for solving your doubts." ”
looked at the departing Cheng Yuan.
Dao Yan stood under the temple corridor and said with a smile: "It's good to understand, just don't let down Your Majesty and the queen's wishes." ”
Cheng Yuan couldn't hear this.
He had ridden back to the city.
…………………………………………
The next day, at noon, the sun scorched the earth.
Zheng He lifted the curtain, Zhu Di glanced at Empress Xu and Zhu Gaochi, signaled that it had arrived, and lifted Zhu Zhanji off the car.
"Li Gan, bring down the lychees and supplements." Zhu Gaochi said to him.
"Yes, Your Highness."
The two stone lions in front of the Zhenguo Mansion are very tall, Zhu Di gave several mansions and palace maids to several Guogongs, but Dao Yan and Cheng Yuan almost didn't ask for them, and later the Zhenguo Mansion added a lot.
"Greetings to Your Majesty, Queen Mother, Crown Prince."
Liu Dazhui is the housekeeper and is also responsible for Jianwen's daily life alone.
As soon as Zhu Di arrived, Liu Dazhui smelled the smell and ran out to greet him, "Your Majesty, please." ”
The compound of the Zhenguo Mansion was transformed by Chengyuan, and there were several grape trellises after entering the door, on which were not grapes, but sweet potatoes, and white stone paving on both sides.
On all sides is a house with antique furniture and a reception hall.
Go further in, the second courtyard is the rockery tower and lotus pond, surrounded by loquat trees, green plum trees, bayberry trees, like an orchard.
The two black dogs under the tree stuck out their tongues, and when they saw Zhu Di and others coming, they continued to brush the ground with their tails and sleep with their tails.
"Where's Ancheng?" Empress Xu asked.
They came today to see Jianwen, Queen Xu and Zhu Gaochi felt that they were all a family, and they also wanted to see each other in the end, but Zhu Di only allowed them to meet quietly.
"Your Highness is sorting out the manuscripts in the study."
Empress Xu nodded.
Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi went to the lobby to sit and cool off.
Zhu Zhanji looked curiously at the things of the Guogong Mansion under the grape trellises, and his steps were quite fast.
Xiao Huangmen followed behind and said, "Oh, little ancestor, slow down, don't fall." ”
Empress Xu said: "Li Gan, if you are tired, give the lychee to Li Shangyi, and you will not be able to go." ”
The female official who followed Queen Xu immediately came over to pick up the lychee.
Li Gan, who is the chief of the guard of the East Palace, said that he was not tired.
Empress Xu said: "Later, you ask An Cheng where the ice cellar is, and ask her to arrange for someone to put the ice cellar." ”
When she came to the study, through the open window, Queen Xu saw her daughter and smiled: "Zhizhen." ”
"Queen Mother, why are you here?" She stood up cautiously and came out of the study.
"Your father and eldest brother are also here, ask Cheng Yuan to go to the hall and sit together." Queen Xu smiled and came over to take her daughter's hand.
"Pony, he's not at home."
"It's so hot, if you don't take good care of your body in the house, run around, this palace has to train him well, where is your heart."
Queen Xu said: "Last time, he wrote Daiyu to death in the stone record, and the palace was angry and wanted to beat him." ”
Ancient version of the Sending Blade......
"Where did he go? Let him come back. ”
"He, he ......" An Cheng actually didn't know.
In the past few days, Cheng Yuan has spoken very little, and the two hardly speak, so she doesn't know.
Li Gan said: "When I left the palace, I heard Yang Shangshu say that he went fishing. ”
"Is that so?" Empress Xu was dissatisfied and left her wife and children in the house.
Empress Xu said: "Zhizhen, you let people put the lychees away, don't get stuffy." ”
Watching Empress Xu walk away.
An Cheng turned around and scolded coldly: "Li Gan, when did you talk so much." ”
