Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Troubled Vegetable Garden
"After that, the wheelchair is tailored according to the buyer's wishes, so as to ensure that no wheelchair is the same, like this, it will definitely sell for a large price. Personal preferences are different, you can choose the accessories sold by Bai Yutang, or you can bring your own accessories, and we will make her wheelchair well. ”
"That sounds like a good idea."
In Foguang Temple, "Master, look at this flower bed, how do I take care of it?"
"Okay."
"Lord Wang, your craftsmanship is becoming more and more exquisite."
"That's, don't look at who I am?" Xia Jinghong, the fourth young master beside the old prince, couldn't bear to look at it directly, this piece of garden could already be called a withered garden.
Originally, the flowers in the flower garden grew lush and green, and the old prince had to prune the branches and buds for them, saying that there were too many flower bones, and it was not easy for them to bloom.
Only two flower bones can be left on a branch, and the left and right scissors go down, and the original purple and red flower beds can be called on the verge of withering. The old prince is especially not enough, and he continues to take care of himself, and Master Puhua is also used to him.
Master Puhua stopped smiling in front of him, and said to the old prince, "The prince is so energetic, it is better to follow the poor monk to see the vegetable garden." ”
"It's good that the gardens on the left and right are almost well trimmed."
The two then walked to another field, Xia Jinghong quickly put down the tea in his hand, stood up with a wheel, and followed the footsteps of the two.
There was a little monk behind him with a teacup and a bowl to follow, and the old prince looked back and said, "Go back quickly, you don't need to follow." Just hand it over to our little four to take it. ”
The old prince waved his hand.
The little monk hesitated, not knowing whether to give it or not, the fourth young master sighed and said, "Give it to me, you go back, it's a waste of time to be around." ”
Xia Jinghong took the tea set tray in the hands of the little monk fan and followed the two.
"Lord, you see, this is the largest vegetable garden in this temple. Cabbage is planted in one row over there, buds are planted in one row here, lettuce is planted in one row, cucumbers are planted in one row, and tomatoes are planted in one row over there. Master Puhua's fingers flew.
Xia Jinghong was dazzled for a moment. The old prince pouted and said, "Your plan is too unreasonable." There are many styles, but there are not many things planted on each piece of land. ”
"Amitabha, then let's ask the old prince to help us re-plan."
"Say it, leave everything to me."
As he spoke, the old prince went straight to the simple farm tool room next to the vegetable field and took out the hoe.
Xia Jinghong looked at it, and hurriedly put down the teabowl and teapot in his hand, "Grandfather, what are you going to do here?" Could it be that we are going to cut them all? ”
The old prince disliked him and got in the way, "You get up, what planing, I'm going to move them to a position." Plant a piece here, plant a piece of land there. ”
"Look at this mess, in late autumn, corn is no longer the crop of the season. I want to choose this plot first and then turn it deeply, and add a certain amount of base fertilizer according to the soil fertility and crop fertilizer characteristics in the deep ploughing process, and then rake and level. According to the variety of crops, sowing or strip sowing, covering the fine soil and then watering enough root water. They can do a good job in water and fertilizer management, weeding, and pest control in the later stage.
Xia Jinghong was confused by the old prince's words, let go of his hand in confusion, let the old prince walk towards the vegetable field with his hoe, looked at the master and said, "This, master, you don't care, if you really let the old prince spoil it, then the monks in this temple will have to eat something in the second half of the month!" ”
The master smiled without saying a word, and said slowly, "Let him go, he has a fire in his heart, if you don't let him send it out, sooner or later you will have to suffocate your body." It's just a vegetable patch, if you really can't eat, I believe that the old prince will not see the monks in the temple hungry. ”
"This, okay!" Xia Jingxuan was somewhat hesitant. "I haven't seen my grandfather do anything in his own vegetable garden, so how can he become so handy at farm work?"
"You're still too young, where are you handy? If you look closely, his left foot is almost tripping over his right foot. Obviously nothing? It's just a paper tiger. ”
Xia Jinghong fixed his eyes and saw that his grandfather was stumbling in the field, as if he was walking not on the land, but on a big stone road.
"So, am I going to help?" Xia Jinghong muttered.
"You don't need to put the teacup and bowl here, you can go back, go back to rest and rest, or just go back to the house and don't need to accompany you here."
"Yes! Will this really work? ”
"Yes, every time the old prince comes, he has to stay here for a few days. You are young and naturally impatient. ”
"Then I'll go tell my grandfather and see what he says?"
"Grandfather, you see that you can talk to Master Puhua in the temple, but I can't do anything here for many days, and I will make trouble for you, why don't I go back to the house first!"
"Why didn't you say it sooner, kid? Now that the sun is setting in the west, it is not safe to walk at night, so let's go early tomorrow! ”
"It's okay, grandfather, I'm used to the night road, it's always good to go back early, there are some ladies in the house. Qingqing's Bai Yutang has just opened, and someone must help her sit down. ”
"That's fine, then you can ride a fast horse!"
"Yes, grandfather and grandson are retired."
Xia Jinghong bowed deeply in the direction of Master Puhua, and said loudly, "Master Puhua, the kid retreats first." ”
Master Puhua waved his hand at him, sat on the spot with Buddhist beads in his hand and began to recite Buddhist scriptures.
When Xia Jinghong looked back for the last time, he looked at a leisurely scene, his grandfather was busy in the field with Master Puhua by the side, and from time to time the two of them bowed their heads and exchanged something.
Seeing that the farmland in the field was turned into a mess by his grandfather, Master Puhua did not see any worry on his face. sighed, if there is really an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, these two old children are together, this time it is a bitter monk in the temple.
Xia Jinghong returned to the temple, grabbed a monk who was sweeping, and asked, "Where is my horse now?" ”
"Amitabha." The monk clasped his hands together, "Donor, your horse, tethered to the stable, the little monk will take you over." ”
"Okay."
Xia Jinghong led the horse out of the gate of Foguang Temple, turned over the horse, waved the whip, the horse ran quickly, and disappeared into the lush green mountains with a smoke.
The monk chanted, "Amitabha, donor walk slowly," and then closed the temple door.
Compared with Xia Qingqing, they sat slowly and leisurely in the carriage, and Xia Jinghong was a fast horse. As soon as it was nightfall, he rushed back to the mansion, Xia Qingqing sat in the room, listening to Xiao Lu's reply, "County Lord, the fourth young master is back,"
Xia Qingqing was surprised, "What do you mean that my fourth brother is back, and what about my grandfather, is he also back?" Didn't you send a message in advance that you were going back? ”
"It was the fourth young master who came back by himself."
"Why are the two of them still separated into two groups?" Xia Qingqing's 100,000 why general questions stunned Xiao Lu. She couldn't say why, Xia Qingqing said anxiously, "Oh, forget it, I don't think you know." ”
"Fourth brother, where are the people? I'll go find him. ”
Xia Qingqing brushed aside the little green in front of him with one hand, quickly stood up, and walked out of the room.
"The fourth young master is now in the flower room."
"What is he doing there" Xia Qingqing couldn't believe it.
"This slave doesn't know, as soon as the fourth young master comes back, he will go into the flower room."
When Xia Qingqing stepped into the flower room, he saw Xia Jinghong carefully cultivating a pot of plum blossoms.
"Fourth brother, what are you doing here? This plum blossom is blooming so well, what are you doing with scissors to cut so many branches and leaves? Xia Qingqing looked at the bare plum branches.
"This! I am. The fourth young master stuttered for a while, not knowing whether to say it or not, but he was in a hurry, Xia Qingqing, "Say, what's wrong with you?" Say it. ”
"There's nothing on the side, but after you left, the old prince took Master Puhua to the garden, and pruned all the flowers in Master Puhua's garden, and it became like this in my hand, I came back to try it and see if our plum blossoms were cut like this, can they still live?"
"If I can't live, then I have to hurry up and choose a batch of flowers to send to Foguang Temple to make amends."
Xia Qingqing's eyes widened when she heard this, and she plucked out her ears again and again, repeating as if she didn't understand, "You mean that your grandfather took a pair of scissors and cut all the colorful flowers in Master Puhua's garden into the shape of the plum blossoms in your hand?" ”
"This? Is this still a flower? You might as well say that it's from a tree, which is more vivid! ”
Xia Jinghong didn't know how to pick up the stubble for a while, and said with blind trust in his grandfather, "Grandfather should have a deep meaning when he does this!" ”
"After all, after all," he said no more, "after all, Master Puhua is also following, if he is really nonsense, why won't the master dissuade him?" ”
Xia Qingqing rolled her eyes at him, "Don't you see how accustomed Master Puhua is to our grandfather?" Not to mention cutting flowers, even tomorrow a fire will burn down the wing where the master lives, and the master will only say that it is burned well, and the other is to rebuild. ”
"That's right, the relationship between the master and his grandfather is closer, but it's not like that." Xia Jinghong was confused.
"What's not like this, the two of them even whispered behind my back, and I don't know the hexagram that the master gave me now."
"Speaking of which, do you know that?" Qingqing looked straight at the fourth young master, Xia Jinghong.
"This, I don't know much about this, Xia Jinghong didn't expect that she suddenly asked about it. His eyes drifted away, and at first glance, he looked weak-hearted, Xia Qingqing's tone became more serious, and said, "Fourth brother, what do you know?" ”
"Speak up, don't hide it from me, as if all of you know, but I don't. Is this a fortune teller for me? ”
"Why, I don't know anything."
"Qingqing, don't worry, it's not that I don't say it, it's that I don't know what the situation is, when I started fortune-telling, I was indeed accompanied by the side, but your hexagram came out, and my grandfather let me go down in the future."
