Chapter 347

The sun was rising.

Outside the gate, the carriage was waiting.

Princess Nangong, wearing a purple dress, was bathing in the golden morning sun. She stood tall and beautiful beside the gate with her hands behind her back, staring at one of the stone deer statues in a daze.

She came back to her senses after hearing the voice.

Song Ruyue helped Miss Qin down the steps, and said with gratitude: "Meijiao, thank you for your trouble."

Nangong Meijiao smiled faintly and said: "Aunt, don't be polite to me. You are new to the capital and are not familiar with the road. It is my duty to take you there. It just so happens that I can take the opportunity to go out and play."

Miss Qin smiled and said: "Mother, Sister Meijiao has been confined by the prince for many days. If you hadn't come, she wouldn't have been able to come out."

Song Ruyue asked curiously: "Why is she confined?"

Miss Qin smiled and didn't answer.

Nangong Meijiao curled her lips and said, "It's just a small matter, why are you making a fuss about it? Let's go, Weimo, I'll help you get up."

Song Ruyue saw that she didn't want to talk, so she didn't ask any more questions.

The two of them supported Miss Qin Er on the left and right and got on the carriage.

Luo Qingzhou took Xiaodie and followed behind Brother Qin Er, preparing to get on the carriage behind. Miss Qin Er suddenly stuck her head out of the window and whispered, "Brother-in-law, come up and sit here."

Song Ruyue's scolding voice suddenly came from the carriage again: "Brother-in-law!"

Miss Qin Er immediately changed her words: "Brother Qingzhou, come."

When Luo Qingzhou was hesitating, Brother Qin Er pushed him over and said with a smile: "Qingzhou, go sit with Weimo, talk to her and relieve your boredom."

Luo Qingzhou had to turn around and said, "Xiaodie, then you and Qiu'er should sit in the back, with Bailing and the others."

Xiaodie agreed, and sat in the last carriage with Qiu'er and Zhu'er.

Luo Qingzhou got on the carriage, entered the compartment, and sat down next to Miss Qin Er, lowering his head and looking straight ahead.

To be honest, he really didn't want to sit in the same compartment with them.

If it was only Miss Qin Er and the maid, it wouldn't matter, the key point was that there was also the mother-in-law and the "Thousand Cuts of Shame" princess.

Sitting opposite them and being stared at by them, I always felt a little uncomfortable.

Miss Qin Er suddenly poked her head out of the window again and whispered, "Sister, there is still room for people here, you come up too."

When Qin Jianjia was about to speak, she said again, "Sister, Wei Mo missed you and wanted to talk to you."

Bailing hurriedly said, "Miss, go, go talk to Miss Er."

Qin Jianjia didn't say anything else and walked to the first carriage.

Mei'er hurriedly walked outside, pulled her up, and helped her into the compartment.

In the carriage, Nangong Meijiao and Song Ruyue sat on the left, Mei'er also sat on the left; Luo Qingzhou and Miss Qin sat on the right.

In the middle was a long and narrow white jade tea table, and the floor was covered with a soft blanket.

Qin Weimo quickly pointed to the side and said, "Sister, sit here."

Qin Jianjia stood there without moving.

Song Ruyue, who was sitting opposite, also frowned slightly and looked at someone with unkind eyes.

If they sat like this, wouldn't someone be sitting in the middle, with the elder sister on the left and the younger sister on the right?

She glared at her second daughter. Was this girl doing it on purpose?

Luo Qingzhou reacted and quickly stood up and said, "Miss, you sit here."

Qin Jianjia did not sit down, but walked to Mei'er's seat and sat down.

Mei'er had no choice but to sit on the seat on the right.

Luo Qingzhou sat down then.

Qin Weimo whispered, "Sister, is Xia Chan okay?"

When this was said, the other people in the car were a little surprised and confused. Why did they suddenly ask about Xia Chan?

Qin Jianjia said lightly, "Not bad."

Qin Weimo said, "I heard from Qiu'er that Xia Chan is now willing to communicate with others and occasionally speaks, right?"

Qin Jianjia did not answer, but looked at someone opposite.

Qin Weimo suddenly turned around and smiled, "Brother Qingzhou, did Xia Chan talk to you? And help you grind ink?"

Luo Qingzhou's mouth twitched.

Sure enough, Qiu'er is a spy!

He said calmly, "I don't know. As for grinding ink, Qiu'er and Xiaodie were not here at the time. Just happened to have time, so I asked her to help."

Qin Weimo smiled and said, "Brother Qingzhou is really amazing. Weimo remembers that Xia Chan's hands seemed to only hold swords. I didn't expect that she could help Brother Qingzhou grind ink."

Song Ruyue suddenly interrupted, "That girl can also grow flowers."

Qin Weimo asked in confusion, "Grow flowers?"

Song Ruyue also said puzzledly, "During that time, she often came to my place and grew flowers for me with the little brother and sister. I asked her why she wanted to grow flowers, and she said she wanted to make money. I asked her what she wanted to do with the money? She didn't answer. I gave her money, but she didn't want it. She wanted to grow flowers to make money. So when I give the little brother and sister the regular money every month, I will also give her some."

After listening, Qin Weimo slightly frowned his thin willow eyebrows and fell into deep thought.

After a while, she asked, "Mother, where are the little brother and sister?"

Song Ruyue said, "They don't want to leave Mocheng, afraid that their parents won't be able to find them when they come back, so I asked your second aunt to take them home."

Qin Weimo thought for a while, and suddenly turned around and asked, "Brother-in-law, did you borrow money from Xia Chan?"

She suddenly remembered that when her brother-in-law asked her to borrow money, he might have first asked Xia Chan, but Xia Chan didn't have any money, so he asked her.

Luo Qingzhou saw that everyone was looking at him, and hurriedly said, "Borrow money? No, why would I borrow money from her?"

"Really not?"

Qin Weimo asked again.

Luo Qingzhou said: "Really not."

Song Ruyue said: "He stays at home and studies all day, so there is no place to spend money. If he needs it, he can just ask us for it. Where can he find Xia Chan?"

Qin Weimo said no more.

Luo Qingzhou also fell into deep thought, and began to connect a series of events in his mind.

He asked Chanchan to borrow money.

Chanchan gave him all the money.

He accepted it, but it was not enough, so he went to the second lady to borrow money.

Suddenly one day, Chanchan started to plant flowers in the back garden.

She wants to make money.

Why does she want to make money?

She has no worries about food and drink, usually buys nothing, and never goes out alone.

She had no place to spend money.

Even though she likes to eat candied haws, she has never gone out to buy them alone.

The answer is ready to come out...

Luo Qingzhou suddenly felt a pain in his heart.

The carriage left the city and headed towards Wo Fo Mountain, which is more than ten kilometers away to the east.

Jin Chan Temple is located on the Reclining Buddha Mountain.

There is an endless stream of tourists and pilgrims almost every day.

Song Ruyue glanced at the passers-by outside the window, feeling uneasy and asked: "Meijiao, is Jinchan Temple very famous in Kyoto? When the prince goes there, won't they give him face?"

Nangong Meijiao was silent for a moment, sighed and said: "The plaque on the Golden Light Hall of Jinchan Temple was written by the late emperor himself. There are two Buddha statues inside, which were given by the former Empress Dowager Dou. It is said that the abbot inside, Master Ningyuan, is already alive. five hundred years , used magic to save tens of thousands of refugees during the previous dynasty, including the original royal family. In Kyoto, almost all people who have incurable and complicated diseases or have other wishes are willing to go to Jinchan Temple to offer incense and make wishes. . It’s said to be very effective.”

"So aunt, last time my dad went there, he didn't even see the abbot of the other party, but he didn't have any temper. My dad said that during the disaster season, even the saints were respectful when they went up to make wishes."

Song Ruyue was frightened when she heard this, and her heart became more and more desperate: "Then... what should we do?"

Nangong Meijiao didn't dare to tell the truth, fearing that she would become even more desperate.

Not to mention the retreating eminent monk Master Wukong, they may not be able to see even the abbot and the ten elders of Jinchan Temple. At most, they can only see the minor abbot from the outer temple or the elder who receives guests, and it depends on luck.

"Auntie, let's try. If it doesn't work, we'll find another way."

She could only persuade him in this way.

Song Ruyue said sadly: "There are other ways. If there is really another way, we won't..."

She didn't dare to continue talking, nor did she dare to look at her daughter.

Qin Weimo said softly: "Mom, it's okay. Even if we can't see the eminent monk, it doesn't matter. We will just go out and play as a family. Weimo is actually very happy in his heart. We can go out and play as a family, Weimo I am already very satisfied. As for other things, since they are already destined, let it take its course. Wei Mo has already thought about it. Cherishing the present and cherishing the people around you is the most important thing."

Song Ruyue felt sad and her eyes were red.

In the carriage, the atmosphere was depressing and fell into silence.

Qin Weimo suddenly turned around and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, you have so many stories in your stomach, can you tell us a story to relieve our boredom?"

Seeing everyone looking at him, Luo Qingzhou thought for a moment and said, "Is it okay to joke?"

Qin Weimo smiled and said: "Of course. If brother-in-law can make sister laugh..."

Song Ruyue suddenly interrupted him: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law! Who is your brother-in-law?"

Qin Weimo's smile froze slightly, lowered his head and said, "Brother Qingzhou..."

Luo Qingzhou said quickly: "Then I'll start."

Immediately, he started talking.

[There is a monk named Buyu Zen.

He is a Zen master in name, but actually has no knowledge. He relies on his two attendants to answer questions on his behalf.

One day, when the two waiters were out, a traveling monk happened to come to ask for advice.

The wandering monk asked, "What is Buddha?"

The Zen master couldn't answer. He was in a panic and at a loss, so he looked around.

Monk Youfang asked again: "What is Dharma?"

The Zen master still couldn't answer, so he looked up and down.

The wandering monk asked again: "What is a monk?"

The Zen master still couldn't answer. He had no choice but to close his eyes and sweat profusely.

Monk Youfang asked again: "What is blessing?"

The Zen master still didn't know. He just stretched out his hands in panic, with a face full of shame.

Monk Youfang said no more, said goodbye and walked out of the temple. He happened to meet two waiters coming back, and told them: "I asked the Buddha, and the Zen master looked east and west, which means that people have things, and the Buddha has no north and south. When I asked the Dharma, The Zen master looked at it, meaning that the Dharma is equal and there is no higher When I asked the monk, he just closed his eyes and meditated, which meant that the one lying high in the white clouds was a highly respected monk. When I asked for blessings, he stretched out his hand, which meant that he was guiding all living beings. The Zen master’s knowledge has truly reached the realm of knowing one’s mind and one’s nature.”

The waiter returned to the Zen master, who was anxious and embarrassed and yelled, "Where have you been? You didn't come to help me, and I made a fool of myself. He asked Buddha, and I couldn't see you when I looked east, and I couldn't see you when I looked west; he asked Dharma, and I couldn't see you when I looked west; he asked the monks, and I had no choice but to pretend to be sleepy and close my eyes; he asked for blessings, and I felt ashamed that I knew nothing, and I was still an elder. I might as well stretch out my hand to beg for food and be a beggar!】

"Puff..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mei'er next to him couldn't help laughing.

Qin Weimo also covered his mouth and chuckled.

Nangong Meijiao still had no expression on his face.

Miss Qin still had a cold expression, and I didn't know if she heard it, but there seemed to be ripples flowing deep in her eyes.

Song Ruyue was confused, blinked her eyes and said, "What do you mean? You said a lot, but I didn't understand a word."

In fact, she was worried just now and didn't listen carefully. She only heard the "Zen master and monk" talking to each other.

When Luo Qingzhou was about to speak, a clear voice suddenly came from outside the window: "Donor, you went to Jinchan Temple, but you made fun of the Zen master, which is immoral. But what you said [People have east and west, Buddha has no north and south; Dharma has no high and low, only equality] is indeed deafening, thank you very much."

When Luo Qingzhou heard the voice, he quickly opened the curtains and looked.

He saw a middle-aged monk in a gray robe and carrying a long stick, riding a white horse, passing the caravan and leaving in a cloud of dust.

In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared in the dust in front.
