Jia Yu didn't worry much after taking the Tongsheng exam, he knew that he had answered decently, and it was impossible to be the first place, but he must be on the list. During the three days of waiting for the release of the list, Jia Yu was not idle, he asked people to visit the more famous monasteries near Jinling. His definition is that it is known to many people, and the incense should be prosperous. Jin Cai listened to Jia Yu's instructions and felt a burst of contempt in his heart, thinking that Jia Yu was worried after the exam, and then wanted to go to the temple to pray in order to pass the child's life, which was really a temporary cramming. Jia Yu didn't pay attention to him, and as for what Shi ordered Jin Cai to do, Jia Yu also knew. He didn't expect that even when he arrived in Jinling, Shi didn't think to let him go. The subordinates of the Jia family correctly said that Jia Daishan and Shi's people were really unruly, and in less than half a day, Jia Yu was going to the temple to pray that the news that Tong Sheng had passed the exam stabbed the whole Jinling.

Jia Yu couldn't help but squirt out a sip of tea when he heard Zhishu's return, Shi's teammates were really gods, and he hadn't planned how to spread his next news yet, and now the Jin Cai family had done a good job of him. All the people in Jinling are waiting, wanting to see where Jia Yu will go to pray, and if it works, they will go to that house in the future. waited and waited, three days passed, and before Jia Yu appeared, the Tong Sheng test was released. Jia Yu won and won the ninth place on the first list, but Jia Yu has not yet gone to seek Buddha. I don't care about any temples anymore, I have to send people to give gifts. Jia Yu is the serious heir of the Rongguo Mansion, and the relationship between the various families in Jinling is quite good, and now that there is a family member who has won the show, it is considered a feud if he does not give gifts.

Who knew that the giver came back and brought a message: Jia Yu prayed for his grandmother and his wife, and tomorrow he would go to Qingliang Temple alone to practice for three months. Only then did the families understand that it turned out that they were looking for the temple not to get a show, but to pray for the blessings of their families, or to lead the practice, which was really filial piety. The practice of leading hair means that Jia Yu will completely refer to the life of a monk, and it is not three days but three months. No one believes that Jia Yu is willing to show off his talent in the exam, but he is ninth in the first list, which is completely strength, and he will never be able to ask for Buddha by asking for Buddha. At this time, everyone completely forgot about Jia Yu's previous plaything discouragement, even if someone mentioned it, Jia Yu has become more talented.

As for whether Jia Yu is really practicing, as long as he goes to the temple, he will know. Jia Yu chose a temple on a mountain, and there are more than 300 steps from the foot of the mountain to the temple. This staircase is rarely used, and most people use a smoother path. Jia Yu and the abbot finalized the practice of following the hateful person and added one more item, he would clean the steps at the foot of the mountain after the morning class, and sweep all the way from the first step to the temple on the mountain, not missing a day for three months, and the whole process was alone. The abbot was very surprised when he heard Jia Yu's request, usually six monks were responsible for sweeping the stairs, and the six of them were tired and panicked, but he couldn't stop Jia Yu's practice, after all, everyone has their own fate.

Just the day after the list was released, Jia Yu moved to Qingliang Temple, not only ate and drank with the monks, but even slept Jia Yu did not ask to be separated. Also from that day on, every morning after class, a young man wearing a monk's robe and hat but with hair would appear on the stairs sweeping the stairs, it was Jia Yu. Not only did he just sweep the stairs, but if someone approached him, he would be heard reciting the Prajnaparamita Sutra as he swept. After sweeping the stairs, Jia Yu returned to the temple to participate in the Buddha and recite the scriptures. All day long, he is either copying scriptures or asking the monks in the temple for the meaning of Buddhist scriptures, and he is more like a monk than a monk. In addition, some people who come to the temple to worship the Buddha will also receive the scriptures copied by Jia Yu for the purpose of Weng Yang Buddhism, which is as beautiful as the name is said by Jia Yu to become the merit of his grandmother and wife.

Jia Yu is just putting on a show, Jia Yu understands that he has been splashed with dirty water by Jia Daishan and Shi Shi for so long, and his reputation is not much better if it is not very bad, so he needs to clear his name. In this era of ruling the world with filial piety, what is more important than filial piety? So he wants to let people know that his son, who has never endured hardship, is willing to pray for the blessings of the old people of the Lu family and live a life that is not rain and rain, but it is also very hard. If listening to what he did would be amazed at what he had done, those who saw him were amazed. Sweeping more than 300 steps day after day, copying Buddhist scriptures day after day, even those who were laughing at Jia Yu at the beginning had to admit Jia Yu's perseverance.

As time passed, Jia Yu's actions were spread all over Jinling. Jin Cai and his wife were so anxious that they even lost a lot of hair, but they couldn't do anything about it. They tried to find someone to say bad things about Jia Yu, but Jia Yu was making a joke! Don't you see that Jia Yu is still sweeping the stairs in the morning, and in the afternoon he is still copying scriptures and praying for his family, and you still want to say that people are cheating, you go and sweep the 300 steps for me to see, and they sweep it for three months. If Jia Yu was the last in the exam, some people would still believe it, but Jia Yu was the ninth, and no one would be so eye-catching even if he cheated. Even if he wants to use a beauty trick, Jia Yu is with many monks except for sweeping the stairs, so is it possible that the top brand of the brothel falls down the stairs to attract Jia Yu?

Shi Shi, who was in the capital, received news from Jin Cai's family and learned that Jia Yu had won Xiucai, and was so angry that she broke her favorite teapot. Seeing that the reputation of Jia Yu's filial piety in the letter spread all over Jinling, he saw that there was nothing on the table, so he dropped the vase of the official kiln in the early Ming Dynasty behind him. Lai's mother, who was on the side, felt heartache, held back the uneasiness in her heart, and comforted Shi Shi, but finally calmed down, and Shi wanted to think of something to stop Jia Yu. But Jia Yu is now far away from the emperor, and there is no way for Shi to do anything he wants, which makes Shi angry. After hearing this, Lu Shi was not only distressed, but also a little more relieved, of course she understood what Jia Yu was doing this, it was all the karma of her parents.

If Jia Yu knew Shi's reaction, he must have felt that everything he had done was worth it. However, judging from everyone's reaction, Jia Yu's show was very successful. not only whitewashed his previous reputation, but also let people know that he was a very filial child, and this reputation became his umbrella in the future, allowing him to avoid a lot of Jia Daishan and Shi's plots, of course, this is also a later story.

No matter who had any thoughts, Jia Yu had no way of knowing. He was playing a chessboard game with an old monk of the monastery. The old monk looked at the chessboard for a moment, only to see that Jia Yu's white chess could form a big dragon after playing a word to surround the black chess, and shook his head: "Lao Qu lost, or the layman was slightly better." ”

Jia Yu combined: "Don't dare, Jia Yu still wants to thank the master for his advice." The old monk silently recited the Buddha's name: "The layman's chess style is upright, but from time to time there will be strange soldiers highlighted, which makes people sigh." “

"Jia Yu can ask for more masters to take care of Jia Yu for many days, so that Jia Yu can benefit a lot in the monastery. Jia Yu is very grateful to the old monk, he was a Taoist priest in his last life, and he did not use his heart for the Dharma, but fortunately, under the enthusiastic guidance of the old monk, his understanding of the Dharma has gradually deepened, and his cultivation has reached the initial stage of Qi training in just three months, and he is almost in the middle stage.

"Lay people don't need to be polite, the old man was entrusted by someone to look for you, but you came to the temple where the old man was meditating, this is a fate. Lay people want to understand the Dharma, and the old man has more research than laymen, and this is also a reason. Therefore, the layman and the old man became acquainted, but the fate was extinguished, and the layman was about to leave tomorrow, so the old man asked the layman to hand over a letter. After the old monk finished speaking, he took out a letter from behind him.

Jia Yu suddenly realized, no wonder the old monk had been practicing in the temple for so many years and had not seen anyone else but wanted to see him, it turned out that he was entrusted by someone. As for who it is, Jia Yu already has an answer in his heart, the Lu family is always worried about him at any time, and he doesn't even feel at ease when he goes down to Jinling, and he also asks the old monk to take care of him. Jia Yu took the letter: "Is the person the master wants Jia Shi to hand over to Jia Shu's grandmother?" The old monk nodded: "Lao Qu and Lu Shi have known each other for many years, and Lao Qu plans to retreat after the monk leaves, but I am afraid that I will never have the opportunity to see Lu Shi again in this life, so I will bother the lay man to do it for me." ”

"Grandmother must be very happy to get the master's letter, Jia Yu has never heard grandmother mention the master. Jia Yu was a little curious. The old monk shook his head: "When Lao Qu was young, he was considered to be the elder brother of Lu Shizhu, but now he is a person outside the party, and there is nothing to mention." However, seeing that there are such excellent juniors as laymen, the old man can be happy for Lord Lu. ”

Jia Yu talked with the old monk for a while about the Buddhist scriptures and then took his leave, and then went to the abbot's place to say goodbye, and then donated 1,000 taels of sesame oil money. Back in the room, Jia Yu looked at the packed baggage, and remembered the life of the past three months, which made him feel like he had returned to the life he had cultivated in the sect before, meditating and chanting with many monks every day, and running exercises at night, he didn't pay attention to all kinds of mortal things, and all kinds of ordinary things didn't pay attention to him. It's a pity that he has his own responsibilities in this world, as well as the original wishes, the current Lu family, the future Zhang family, Jia Hu Jia Lian are not something he can let go of now.

Early the next morning, Jia Yu wore his regular clothes and accompanied by the abbot, came to the gate of the temple, looked at the foot of the mountain from afar, and vaguely saw Zhishu waiting for him by the carriage. Looking at the early sun that had just risen, Jia Yu thought a little excitedly in his heart: "Jia Daishan and Shi, I'm coming back, are you ready?"
