Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Round Lie
"After thinking about returning to the Wei Mansion, how can I explain the matter of walking with Lord Qin today."
Li Qingyi heard the inquiry, answered very naturally, and then stared at him with a slightly eager gaze, hoping that he could give some advice or inspiration.
Who knew that Qin Zeng just let out a faint 'oh'. Just like just now, he said that Li Qingyi had sharp teeth and sharp mouth, and then Li Qingyi only said lightly and perfunctorily, "Don't dare", and his tone was the same......
Li Qingyi tasted his slightly vengeful behavior, slandered in his heart for a while, and then used her second life, decades of experience, half-flattering and half-coaxing compliment: "My lord is wise and wise, which is beyond the reach of mediocre people like us, can I ask my lord for some advice?" ”
Qin Zeng glanced at her lightly and said, "This governor believes that you can handle this matter yourself. ”
Li Qingyiyuan stared at her, feeling that she had been tricked, and she deeply felt that she was really a mediocre person!
This expression seemed to please Qin Zeng greatly, he took a sip of tea and asked, "Are you thirsty?" ”
For such a long time, Li Qingyi was indeed a little thirsty, but because Qin Zeng didn't speak, she couldn't use his cup at will, so she endured it, and when she heard him ask at this time, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and laughed dryly.
A slight smile appeared in the corner of Qin Zeng's eyes: "What, do you want this governor to pour water for you personally?" ”
Li Qingyi choked for a moment, does this mean to let her be casual?
She looked into the tea tray, reached for the unused teacup on the side, lifted the teapot to a glass of water, and drank it silently.
Qin Zeng's eyes were like cold water in winter, only when the sun shone on it could reveal a few points of temperature, at this time he contemplated quietly, the sunlight penetrated into the cold water and the mist curled out, and then dispersed in an instant, like seeing the sun through the clouds.
Li Qingyi was inexplicable, she was clearly in a bad mood when she came, why did she get better again now?
The carriage slowed down, and Nagasawa's voice sounded: "My lord, the Great Pudu Temple has arrived." ”
Qin Zeng let out an "um" and looked at Li Qingyi.
Li Qingyi hurriedly put down the teacup and signaled that he had finished drinking.
Qin Zeng got up and got out of the carriage at this time.
Although the Great Pudu Temple is not a royal temple, it is a more ancient Zen temple than the Dajing Dynasty. Its solemn and magnificent, ancient atmosphere, like a long-standing ancient Zen master is about to become a Buddha and step into the sky.
Li Qingyi looked at the red lacquer giant gate that was three zhang high, comparable to the gate of the capital, and couldn't help but give birth to a little bit of clarity that was empty.
He was greeted by an eight- or nine-year-old gray-clothed novice, followed by six brown-clothed novices. The gray-clothed little novice clasped his hands together and said, "Greetings, the abbot is in retreat recently, please forgive me for not being able to greet you." ”
"It doesn't matter."
Li Qingyi was a few steps behind Qin Zeng, and followed slowly behind, looking at the red pillar in front of the main hall in front of her, there was a couplet written on the left and right, she couldn't help muttering when she looked at the next couplet: "There is no obstacle, the world is sultry and does not change......"
Qin Zeng heard her muttering in a low voice, slowly stopped, also looked at the lower couplet, and asked her, "But do you feel it?" ”
Li Qingyi didn't expect him to hear it, and he replied with a smile: "My lord laughed, I'm just a layman, and I really can't see through such profound Buddhist principles." ”
"Hmph, yes, in the eyes of the Governor, what you say and do is exactly such a Buddha's heart."
Is this saying that his attitude towards him is too casual, indifferent, and not respectful enough?
Li Qingyi was already accustomed to Qin Zeng's small-bellied chicken intestines today, and said: "I'm afraid adults don't know, I really care about a lot of things, and they really have nothing to do with this calm Buddha nature. I just think this word is good, so I paid more attention to it. ”
When Qin Zeng heard this, his eyebrows raised, his face warmed up again, and he turned around and ignored her.
But it was the little novice in front who heard the conversation between the two, revealing two shallow pear vortices, and explained to Li Qingyi with a smile: "I'm afraid the donor doesn't know, this pair of words is from the hand of Lord Qin." ”
Li Qingyi looked at Qin Zeng's fluttering ink-colored clothes, and thought to himself that it was no wonder that this word was so familiar, and couldn't help laughing dryly, "Ah, ha, so that's the case, no wonder there is such a charm." ”
Not long after, everyone walked to a quiet courtyard, three meditation rooms stood silently, in the courtyard is a big banyan tree surrounded by two people, under the tree, is a lonely tomb, just like the tomb of ordinary people, there is no rest decoration, even the stone tablet is not.
Li Qingyi was extremely surprised, maybe it was because there was nothing that could prove his mother's identity, so he didn't shy away from bringing her here, right?
Although Li Qingyi wanted to know who his mother was, he wouldn't say anything when he asked Qin Zeng, so he simply kept silent.
Qin Zeng stepped forward to bow, and Li Qingyi naturally couldn't stand stupidly on the side, so he could only bow down behind him and kowtow.
The surroundings were quiet, and she realized that except for herself, everyone else was waiting in the courtyard, and she was the only one who followed in, and she suddenly felt a little abrupt.
She subconsciously looked up at Qin Zeng in front of her, Qin Zeng turned to look at her at this time, she was a little embarrassed: "I ......"
The temple is quiet, sometimes there are a few birds chirping, in this atmosphere, Li Qingyi doesn't know what the expression on his face is, in short, Qin Zeng said very considerately: "It's okay, my mother liked the little girl's house very much when she was alive, and she will be happy if you come here today." ”
After he finished saying this, he suddenly remembered that when he was young, his mother was sick on the couch and was already dying, and she said: "How sorry my mother is that she can't watch you grow up and can't watch you become her own child...... In the future, if you have a beloved woman, remember to protect her, and bring her to see your mother from time to time, okay? ”
Thinking like this, his gaze at Li Qingyi was a little unnatural, he had never brought anyone else here.
Standing up after three bows, Qin Zeng said coldly: "Go back." ”
Li Qingyi was used to Qin Zeng's moodiness in his previous life, but at this moment, he didn't know why he was annoyed again, maybe he said that he didn't mind, but in fact, he still minded in his heart, after all, he was just an outsider to him now.
Li Qingyi silently followed Qin Zeng out of the courtyard, and when she saw Chang Ze's face slightly surprised, she took a few steps behind and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Chang Ze listened to her inquiry, was slightly stunned, and then said as if replying: "Every time an adult comes here, he has to sit in the meditation room for a while, why did he come out so quickly today?" ”
Li Qingyi sighed secretly, it must be because of her, an "outsider", she said angrily: "Why didn't you stop me, just let me follow the adults in?" ”
Chang Ze was speechless: "The adults didn't stop me, how dare I point fingers." ”
Li Qingyi glared at him, snorted coldly and walked forward quickly.
Then she realized that Nagasawa didn't know her yet! Isn't it too strange that she has a familiar tone!
Alas......
I was really confused by Qin Zeng today!
On the way back, Qin Zeng only closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and Li Qingyi sat silently, for fear of touching his moldy head and causing something to happen.
After entering the city, Chang Ze specially found another carriage to send Li Qingyi back to his home.
Li Qingyi thanked Qin Zeng, but Qin Zeng just raised his eyelids carelessly, and closed his eyes again without even humming.
Li Qingyi was so happy that he was no longer embarrassed, and quickly got out of his carriage and stood quietly under the carriage to see the other party off.
When he returned to the Wei Mansion, Xianglan almost rushed out of the gate, and Li Qingyi was startled and almost slapped it in the face.
Xianglan looked her up and down for a moment, and then relieved herself smoothly: "Girl, you can be counted as back!" ”
Li Qingyi said helplessly: "I didn't expect that going out to go shopping in the market could also go wrong, does anyone in the house know?" ”
"Miss Wei San has already told Mrs. Wei and others about today's events, and the old lady also specially asked Master Wei to come back, saying that as soon as the girl comes back, she will let you go to the room."
