Chapter 14 Differences between Professors and Patrons

At Li Ruhui's insistence, the two ended filming and walked out of Yongzuo Temple.

Zong Zhenlei saw that Li Ruhui was angry, remembering that he only cared about filming in the morning and didn't have time to talk about business trips, and it was close to lunch at this time, so he felt that he should find a place to sit down and chat with her, and help her dissipate her anger by the way.

He took her to Chaoyang Street next to the temple and picked a neat small noodle restaurant on the street.

There are quite a few types of noodles in this noodle restaurant, including sharp noodles, knife-cut noodles, slices, and so on. The two asked for two bowls of sharp noodles, a plate of oily meat, a plate of fried shredded potatoes, and a plate of celery beans, cold lotus root slices, cucumbers, vegetarian three silk and other small cold dishes; The fat shopkeeper gave two more braised eggs and a plate of kimchi, and the small table was full.

When waiting for the sharp noodles to be served, Zong Zhenlei wanted Li Ruhui to relieve her emotions, so while beckoning her to eat, he gestured with his hand to the plates on the table and said: "Seeing this full table, I thought of a word, 'ramming is not long', have you heard of it?" ”

Seeing Li Ruhui shaking his head, Zong Zhenlei continued: "I first heard this word in Beijing, and then once I went to Guangzhou, a friend who spoke vernacular told me that they also said the word 'ramming is not long'. ”

Li Ruhui looked curious and asked, "These two dialects are incomprehensible to each other, what do you mean?" ”

Zong Zhenlei said: "The most amazing thing is that this time I came out of Fujian and met a person from Jiangsu and Zhejiang on the train, and I would say the same. ”

Speaking of this, he stopped, glanced at Li Ruhui, who was still waiting for an answer, and said with a smile: "Don't think that this sentence is saying that people are stupid, it's called 'stupid and stupid'!" ”

Li Ruhui laughed out loud: "If you don't say it, I really think it means that." What does that mean? ”

When the toppers were served, the owner asked the waiter to serve a small bowl of stir-fried pork and tomato toppings, as well as a small plate of peeled raw garlic. The waiter left, and Li Ruhui looked at Zong Zhenlei, obviously expecting him to answer.

Zong Zhenlei glanced at her and said, "Actually, 'ramming is not long' means ......" As he spoke, he raised his hand and asked the waiter to send the vinegar bottle, saying that he wanted to mix vinegar in the sharp noodles, but he didn't find the vinegar bottle on the table.

When the waiter left, Zong Zhenlei said to Li Ruhui: "I know you can't eat noodles without vinegar......"

Li Ruhui lowered her voice and said to Zong Zhenlei: "If you don't say it, I'll be in a hurry!" ”

Zong Zhenlei smiled and said, "Don't, let people hear it and think I'm abusing you!" 'Tamping is not long' is the meaning of all, together. By the way, before my business trip, I specially equipped the camera with a large-capacity memory card, and put everything I saw on the road into it; After eating, I'll show you the photos I took back. Zong Zhenlei's application of sentence formation made Li Ruhui cover her mouth and be happy.

The waiter brought a vinegar bottle, Li Ruhui took it, poured some vinegar on the noodles, and said to Zong Zhenlei: "I've been looking forward to your photo for a long time." ”

Li Ruhui adjusted the noodles, watched Zong Zhenlei suck and eat noodles, and said, "Watching you eat noodles hungry, I also have an appetite!" ”

Zong Zhenlei stopped, picked up a clove of raw garlic and put it in his bowl, and grabbed another clove of raw garlic to give her, but she stopped him.

After eating, it was already past the meal, and there were few people entering the store, and the store was quiet and just chatting. Zong Zhenlei said to the shopkeeper that he wanted to drink tea for a while and sit for a while, but he didn't know what tea was in the store? The owner of the shop asked the waiter to come over and clean up the table, and immediately took out a few jars of tea for Zong Zhenlei to choose, and said that he also likes to drink tea, and recommends these teas to be tasted.

Just when Zong Zhenlei was choosing tea, Li Ruhui had already taken Zong Zhenlei's camera and looked at it.

Zong Zhenlei shifted his seat and sat in a row with Li Ruhui: "The photos in front are taken in the morning, you can jump over and look at the back." ”

These photos were taken in two places after he came out of the monastery in a small fishing village in Fujian; That was when he first went to a small fishing village in Fujian, and found Kaiyuan Temple in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province and Yongji Yonggu Temple in Shanxi Province from the Internet, two buildings with a high degree of similarity to the architectural appearance of Yongzuo Temple, and saw that these two places were on the return route, so he decided to stop by to see them on the way back, which is why he was away for more than a week.

When Li Ruhui looked at the photo, Zong Zhenlei explained next to him: "The characteristics of these two buildings are the same as those of Yongzuo Temple, which are all brick...... This part was taken at Yongji Wangu Temple, which was called Pusaka in ancient times, so it is also called Pusaka Wangu Temple; Wangu Temple is the first stop of the practice after the Miaofeng Zen Master entered the Buddhism, before he built the Yongzuo Temple, he was invited to rebuild the 'beamless hall' there, the architectural form is similar to the Daxiong Hall of the Yongzuo Temple; there is a multi-treasure pagoda built in the Northern Wei Dynasty in the Wangu Temple, it is said that there are relics in it; it used to be a nine-story tower, and it became an octagonal thirteen-story tower after being rebuilt in the Wanli period. ”

Li Ruhui turned the page carefully and said, "No wonder I went for so long and filmed so much!" ”

"Is it long? It's just over a week. Zong Zhenlei took a sip of tea and said: "This trip was not in vain, when browsing the Wangu Temple, I also heard a legend, which happened to be related to my research topic: in front of the tower courtyard, there were originally treasured Tang Dynasty Wu Daozi's authentic character painting inscription 33 links, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, these priceless treasures attracted the attention of the Japanese soldiers entrenched in Puzhou City, and later they plundered 29 of the character painting inscriptions, only four remained, these four monuments do not know what they experienced at that time to escape a catastrophe. ”

Li Ruhui looked at the inscription photo and asked, "Is the looting of these inscriptions related to the 'Golden Lily Project'?" ”

Zong Zhenlei continued the tea and said: "This needs to be further verified. ”

Zong Zhenlei saw that Li Ruhui took out a few more photos and said: "You see, the brick beamless halls of the three temples are similar in style, but the Kaiyuan Temple in Suzhou was built after the death of Zen Master Miaofeng, so it was definitely not built by him; What attracted my attention the most was that the wall pillars of Kaiyuan Temple and Wangu Temple and the wall pillars of Yongzuo Temple, although the pattern of the column base Sumeru is different, but the overall similarity; Interestingly, the wall pillars are carved with bricks, all have lotus petals, the Yongzuo Temple is nine petals, the Wangu Temple is eight petals, and the Kaiyuan Temple is seven petals, which highlights the characteristics of the nine lotuses. ”

The fat shopkeeper came over with a boiling kettle to refill the water and asked, "How does that Da Hong Pao tea taste?" ”

Zong Zhenlei cocked his thumb and said: "It's very domineering, just in line with the taste!" ”

Hearing the praise of his tea, the shopkeeper's fat face blossomed, and he chatted with Zong Zhenlei about the tea scriptures.

The shopkeeper left, and Li Ruhui said: "Let's not talk about the 'Nine Lotus Guanyin', these days, the school is urging the submission of the official draft of the graduation thesis, and I am dizzy all day long sorting out the thesis materials, and I haven't had time to tell you what the professor said to me after your business trip." ”

Seeing Zong Zhenlei turn his head to listen to her, Li Ruhui continued: "On the second day of your business trip, when I went to hand in the revised draft of my graduation thesis to the professor, he told me about the video conference that day, and expressed his dissatisfaction with Mr. Hong, as if he had some ideas. ”

Zong Zhenlei asked in surprise: "Why is this?"

Li Ruhui said: "I wanted to tell you about the discord between Professor Li and Mr. Hong in the tower courtyard just now, but I never said it. The professor told me that he was dissatisfied with Mr. Hong's request for weekly video presentations, and that he thought that the phased reporting and phased funding should be carried out at the same time, which is in line with the law of academic and commercial cooperation. I heard from people in the department that the professor had been consulting with the sponsor Mr. Hung for about half a year before taking on this project. Mr. Hong insisted on weekly video reports to keep abreast of research progress, and said that if this requirement could not be met, he would withdraw from the cooperation and find another team. The professor was very interested in this topic, and finally reluctantly agreed to the research project because he was worried that he would miss the opportunity when the time for the research scheduled for the summer vacation was approaching. ”

Listening to Li Ruhui's words in one breath, Zong Zhenlei picked up the teacup thoughtfully: "I see!" It seems that Professor Li and Mr. Hung have been at odds for some time, and Professor Li told you about his dissatisfaction, did he make you take sides? ”

Li Ruhui shook her head: "That's not yet." ”

Speaking of this, Zong Zhenlei couldn't help but think of his impression of Professor Li that he had never had time to tell Li Ruhui.

Two days after Li Ruhui took him to meet Professor Li for the first time, when Li Ruhui told Zong Zhenlei that he had been approved to join the research team, he realized that Professor Li had asked him to talk about the research on the "Golden Lily Project", which was actually investigating him. He vaguely felt that Professor Li was not the kind of scholar who would only do academics, for example, Professor Li set up a team that obviously needed people and secretly investigated him, but he had to take an indifferent attitude towards his application to join, as if he wanted to "grasp" it; In addition, from Professor Li's remarks about "staying loyal" and "my topic" that day, Zong Zhenlei felt that this professor generally prefers others to revolve around him, and may pay more attention to controlling research materials and results alone.

After hearing Li Ruhui talk about Professor Li and Mr. Hong, Zong Zhenlei briefly told her his opinion of Professor Li, and Li Ruhui did not agree with his opinion of Professor Li, saying that he did not know Professor Li and should be tested by time.

Zong Zhenlei looked out the window and did not answer.

Li Ruhui probably didn't want to talk about Hong Xitai and Professor Li anymore, and said, "Okay, leave them alone, you haven't told you about going to a small fishing village in Fujian!" ”

Zong Zhenlei nodded: "Okay, let's talk about the small fishing village temple; After I got there, I talked with the abbot of the monastery, Abbot Tongyun, for about four hours. ”

Zong Zhenlei took a sip of tea, and then said: "As Professor Li said, Tongyun's master is Japanese, and he is Taiwanese; His master took him out of Taiwan, first to Japan, and then to the mainland, and in 1949 he arrived at Yongzuo Temple, when he was 16 years old. ”

Zong Zhenlei paused for a moment, saw that Li Ruhui had no problem, and said: "Professor Li went to collect samples of religious paintings in southern Fujian one year, and went to this small fishing village and monastery, and got to know Tongyun there and his apprentice Kongyuan. ”

Li Ruhui really asked: "Are the religious paintings there special?" ”

Zong Zhenlei also happened to be concerned about this issue: "When I was researching a topic before, I paid attention to the southern Fujian region; There are indeed some religious themes that we can't touch in the north, mainly because the folk worship of gods in southern Fujian is extensive, and the images of those gods will appear on the beams or walls of some temples; In addition to the well-known Bodhisattva, Guanyin, and Emperor Guan, the gods enshrined there also include Yama, the lord of the house, the king of the stove, the mother of the bed, and so on. "Zong Zhenlei pulled the index while talking, and when it came to the back, he simply didn't count." However, I am more concerned about what Tongyun's master has experienced and the situation they have experienced when they came to Yongzuo Temple. ”

Zong Zhenlei drank all the tea in his teacup.

Li Ruhui looked anxious to listen and said, "Don't stop, you go on!" ”
