Chapter 32: The Three
Thinking that such a woman belongs to herself, as long as she uses a little trick and even pushes the boat down the river, she can kiss Fangze, and then she can easily tie her kind and soft heart. Xu Xian did not have a trace of regret in his heart!
But it's more relaxed, not because he is loyal to Pan Yu, Mingyu finally handed over Caifeng Qingluan to him has actually shown his attitude, which is also the concept of this era. And his surname has never thought that he must adhere to any modern thinking.
But there was always something he couldn't give up - respect for the people he liked.
Whether this kind of love is the deep love for Mingyu or the simple love of beauty like Caifeng. There should always be a minimum of respect, which includes sincerity and understanding, sincerely expressing one's own mind and understanding the other party's choice.
If a so-called good person does not even have the least respect for others, and only insists on his own so-called justice, then even if he is not a hypocrite, he is only wielding the sword of justice and imposing another form of hegemony on others, and committing brutal things in the name of justice.
So he gave Caifeng the tranquility she wanted, and he didn't want to use means to deal with the woman in front of him. If there is no emotional bond, even if she is destined to repay her kindness, she will not be hurt so deeply!
Bai Suzhen's heart ached, slight but profound. It's as if I've lost something very important, but I can't remember what that thing is. I thought to myself: He has already married? This is not surprising, the young man is famous, rich and rich, and it is not strange to marry a wife! It's just that there seems to be some conflict with the planned way to repay the favor, hey, how is this good?
Xiaoqing also played with the corner of his clothes, I don't know what he was thinking? The three of them thought about it, and the cabin was silent.
At this time, the boat sailed to Yongding Gate, and the captain said: "Xu Guanren, it's here!" woke up the people in the cabin, Xu Xian smiled and said: "Miss Bai, young girl, don't leave it at that." After thinking about it, he said the address of his home and said, "If you have free time, you can go to the place and sit for a while!"
Bai Suzhen smiled generously and said, "I must visit the mansion and see Mrs. Zun!" Seeing that Xiaoqing was still distracted, he pushed her and said, "Xiaoqing, Gongzi Xu is leaving!"
Xiaoqing reflected and said, "Goodbye, Master Xu, go all the way!"
Xu Xian went out of the cabin, and the two daughters came to see each other, Xu Xian touched his body, but suddenly remembered that he didn't bring any money, so he let Ao Li's little girl take it to eat Haisai.
Bai Suzhen saw that he was embarrassed and hurriedly whispered: "Qing'er!"
Xiaoqing spread his hands and said, "We didn't bring any silver when we came out!" Xiaoqing was naturally exploited by Xu Xian, and Bai Suzhen had not been out of the mountain for a long time, and he didn't need it, so where would he bring silver. However, the gold hairpin on his head is still worth some money, although he is reluctant, he can only do this, and he can redeem it again.
The old man is also an intellectual, looking at the three of them, how can there be any reason that he doesn't understand, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about the son, this trip the old man is all to repay the son's heart, how dare you accept money again, these two young ladies are also exempted." ”
Xu Xian said: "How can this work, you wait here, I will go back and get the money for you, or wait for the next time I meet again!" The captain braved the wind and rain to carry a few people for so long, at this time, it was not comparable to the yachts of later generations, as soon as the machine was turned on, but it was all based on manpower. I'm tired and sweating profusely!
The old man rubbed his hands and said, "No, no, but I have a matter on my mind, and I still want to ......"
Xu Xian smiled: "Just come by pipe!"
The old man also smiled and said: "I heard that the official's poetry is good, can you reward the old man for a sentence and a half, all of which should be used as the boat fare!"
Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Old man, do you know how to read?" Bai Suzhen also showed a curious look.
The old man smiled: "I can't read a basket of big characters, but I see that in those restaurants on the edge of the West Lake, as long as there are poems left by the predecessors, there are always more guests, I think if I can leave a pair of poems of Xu Gongzi in the boat, maybe I can also have more business." ”
Bai Suzhen smiled and said, "The old man is so careful!" and looked at Xu Xian with big eyes, curious about what this person with the name of a talented man would make.
The old man touched his head and said, "I don't know if it's okay!" He doesn't understand the things on calligraphy and painting, and he doesn't know that Xu Xian's Mobao doesn't dare to say it now, and it is not a problem to sell a word for ten taels or eight taels, not to mention that he is specially making a poem. If he had known, he would not have dared to make such a request.
Xu Xian also smiled: "That's okay, just think about it!"
Bai Suzhen was afraid that he would be embarrassed, and said: "I'm afraid this good poem is not easy to think about, Xu Gongzi lives in Hangzhou, so I won't give it to you when we see you next time!"
The old man hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't have it, I also have a whim, and I ask indiscriminately, and it's my blessing that Xu Guanren doesn't blame me." ”
Xu Xian smiled: "Thank you for thinking about Xu Xian, but there is a poem here, I will read it out for you to hear, if you think it is good, I will go back and write it down and send it to the old man." Most of the poems in Ping Yue were forced by the situation and had to be done, but the attitude of the two made Xu Xian feel that he couldn't refuse.
Bai Suzhen first lowered her head to avoid his eyes, and then she was curious to see what words he would make, she had not been in Hangzhou for a long time, and she was in the Qiu Wang's Mansion, and she had only heard the name Xu Xian today, and it seemed that she was a famous talent in Hangzhou!
Xu Xian then chanted:
"A rod of wind and moon, a cloud of smoke and rain, the family lives in the west of Diaoyutai. Selling fish is afraid of approaching the city gate, and the situation is willing to arrive, deep in the red dust.
The tide is physiological, the tide is flat and the tide is back. When people mistakenly compare Yan Guang, I am myself, an unknown fisherman. ”
After reciting, he asked, "What do the old people think of this poem?" but his eyes looked at Bai Suzhen, and said in his heart: Why do you want to go to the depths of this red dust?
The old man listened to it, half understood, and only felt that he liked it in his heart, especially the words 'nameless fisherman' at the end, which seemed to be his original self. Hurriedly said: "Okay, Xu Guanren's word is very appropriate!"
This poem was later written by Xu Xian, and the old man asked someone to engrave it on the ship, and it really attracted a lot of business. When the ship decayed, this ship board was specially carved and passed down to future generations, called "Xianyin Carved Boat Words", sold and added, known as the most expensive ship fare in history. It's just that later generations of scholars often argue about what "Yan Guang" is.
Bai Suzhen's eyes flashed, this word is indeed excellent, and it lives up to the name of a talent. It should not be a problem to seek a fortune and fame in this world. But she heard more from the words. Does Xu Gongzi have the heart to abandon the world and want to concentrate on cultivation with that Fahai?
Isn't that the phrase "willing to go to the depths of the red dust" just the feelings of a cultivator? It's just that there is a certain exhortation in his eyes, which makes him feel a little puzzled, does he know something? He made her feel mysterious for a while.
Xu Xian saw her thoughtful appearance, and bowed her hand again, then turned around and walked out of the cabin.
Xu Xian was shocked in his heart, because an old monk wearing a gray cloth monk's robe and his eyebrows were like snow looking at him with a smile, not Fahai and anyone else. Xu Xian was stunned in place, crying bitterly in his heart, this is really the resentment and hatred of the eight sufferings of life. Looking back, seeing that the woman was very kind and wanted to go out of the cabin to see her off, Xu Xian hurriedly patted her head and said, "Ah, my things are pulled!" and hurriedly turned around and went back to the cabin.
Bai Suzhen was about to lift the curtain to send him off, only to feel that Su's hand was held by him, his face turned red, and when he looked up and saw him nervously glaring at him, he was relieved and retreated into the cabin. Xiaoqing was not so good-tempered, and immediately said: "Young Master Xu, we have only met you a few times, what is the matter with you holding my young lady's hand!"
Bai Suzhen's face turned even redder, and she hurriedly withdrew her hand.
Xu Xian smiled apologetically, but heard Fahai roar angrily: "Release, come out for me!" dared to tease a woman from a good family in front of him, and that was worth it.
Bai Suzhen suddenly realized that she was afraid that his master would see her. It's just that he can't help but laugh at his color release name!
Xu Xian's face turned pale, and he walked out in a daze, stood at the bow of the boat and said, "Master, why is your old man here!"
Fahai said angrily: "I won't come to pay it back, because I and you have released this legal name, you dare to do this!"
Xu Xian wondered: "Didn't you say that the color interpretation is the color of 'color is emptiness, and emptiness is color'?"
Fahai's face froze, and he said even more angrily: "You can't even see through the female color, and what kind of color you talk about is empty, and you won't let me down!"
Xu Xian jumped off the boat, but he was relieved in his heart, at least he didn't let the two meet. It's best to let her secretly repay her kindness, and then leave, that's the best. In this situation, the three of them together may not be the opponent of his master, and if he takes out the golden bowl given by Rulai, he will not even have the strength to fight back.
Xu Xian asked, "Master, let's go to the disciple's house and sit down!"
Fahai seemed to notice something, and said, "You haven't apologized to others yet, so why do you say you want to leave." You rushed to the boat and said: "The female benefactor in the cabin, the old man has no way to discipline her, and the bad guy offended the two and asked to come out to see them!"
At this time, in the cabin, Xiaoqing saw that Bai Suzhen was silent as if she was facing a great enemy, and said in a low voice: "Sister, I have seen this monk, it doesn't seem to be very powerful, I shouldn't see through that we are ......."
Although this voice suppressed the voice, it could not hide from Fahai's ears. Although there are no key words, Fahai's wisdom certainly hears a lot of clues.
Fahai said again: "Please come out and see the two donors!" This voice used the method of thunder sound, which was a little more majestic.
Bai Suzhen sighed secretly: It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, what should come is always coming.
Then he got up and walked out of the cabin, Shi Li said: "The little woman Bai Suzhen has seen the old Zen master!" and then got off the boat, and said to the captain fairly: "Old man, we are going here, you should leave quickly!"
The captain answered, and when Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing got off the boat, they left on the boat, but they couldn't figure out what was going on, but they still didn't care about other people's family affairs.
Fahai finally understood where his strong anger came from, and when he saw Bai Suzhen at this time, he was really an enemy who was very red when he saw him, but he still held on to his practice, and just closed his eyes and recited the Buddha's name: "Nan Wu Amitabha!" The voice of this Buddha's name was extremely low, but it was like a thunderous roar, and it was inexplicable.
Bai Suzhen felt a pang in her heart, this monk is now so high in Taoism, human cultivation is already stronger than demon cultivation, even if he eats his six-hundred-year-old Taoist elixir, he is afraid that he is not an opponent. She didn't realize it yet, but she heard Xiaoqing cover her head and said, "Sister, my head hurts so much!"
Bai Suzhen shouted: "Monk, stop talking!" but she complained bitterly in her heart, and now she was seen through by Fahai and said to Xu Xian, how to repay this kindness. Of course, he can leave if he wants to, but Qing'er is afraid that he can't escape, so what should he do?
Xu Xian hurriedly pulled the sea and said: "Master, let's go!" But it was like pulling a mountain stone, not moving.
Fahai turned his head and glanced at Xu Xian deeply, and then turned his head to look at Bai Suzhen, where is there any truth that he doesn't understand, all grievances and grievances are only a knot now. "Release, blame you for the teacher's mistake, you are not confused with color, but color is going to come mini. It was planted by antecedents, but this is helpless!"
Fahai said: "Bai Suzhen, let's settle our grievances today!" But I also know that this white snake is not easy to deal with, and I don't bring the golden bowl when I go down the mountain today, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep her. And the power of the golden bowl is great, but he doesn't dare to use it at will.
When the master gave the golden bowl, he specifically warned himself not to act indiscriminately, but only to collect evil spirits. And this Bai Suzhen did not do evil, if she insisted on using a golden bowl, I am afraid that she would provoke the master to blame.
Everyone took care of it, and the scene froze for a while.
Xu Xian suddenly asked, "Master, do you have a grudge against this Miss Bai?" This is of course a knowingly question, but it must also be asked.
Several people looked at Xu Xian's face, Bai Suzhen felt bitter in his heart, he always had to help his master! If he came to help his master beat himself, what should he do?
This grievance is entangled in such a situation, even she feels a little dazed.
Fahai replied: "It can be regarded as a deep hatred!" Six hundred years of Taoism, six hundred years of time, six hundred years of lingering.
Xu Xian said: "The master wants the disciple to let go of greed and hatred, why not let go now!" But he also knew that it was almost impossible to ask Fahai to let go of this grievance with words.
Fahai frowned and said: "The cause and effect here, I will explain it to you clearly, but if there is a cause, it cannot be fruitless! ”
"What?"
Fahai gritted his teeth and said: "If you can swallow anything, it's a dead person!"
Xu Xian had nothing to say, glanced at Bai Suzhen, and saw that she was looking at herself, her eyes seemed to be a little sad, so he said, "Master, what if the disciple bears this period of cause and effect?"
Bai Suzhen was surprised and said, "Young Master Xu!"
Fahai said: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Xu Xian said: "The disciple is not nonsense, if you can let go of this grievance, master, no matter what kind of disciple you are, you are willing to give it a try!" He could see that Fahai was still very satisfied with himself, and he would not have any excessive requirements, but he was afraid that he would say that.
Fahai squinted his eyes and said, "If I want you to become a monk and take refuge in my Buddha, are you willing to do it?"
