Chapter 123 Counterattack or Compromise
Although Emperor Yongle of the dynasty believed in Buddhism and worshipped Buddha, he did not make it public to the whole world. Therefore, the world fought to build temples and catered to Yongle Ye. The farmers in Dashun liked to kowtow and burn incense to various local gods, Buddhas and Taoisms that bless their land, although the influence of the far-reaching, there were few pilgrims in Muni Courtyard.
Since she entered Beijing with her master, Miaoyu had been buried in Panxiang Temple in Xuantu Mountain, Suzhou for many years and took her north. Like the famous monks in the temple, she was very particular about drinking tea. She carefully selected the location of the rainwater, the porcelain she packed, and the place where she buried it, but she didn't want it if it was a little unclean.
Muni Courtyard is the place where their masters and disciples stay and rent them. Miaoyu was born as a daughter of an official family. She got sick since she was a child and bought a subtitle and was useless. She had to become a monk by herself. Later, her family lost money, but she also had little money and raised an old lady and a girl by her side.
The so-called "stand-in" is a kind of person that is often found in feudal superstition: if you get sick, you buy someone to become a monk instead of yourself in order to get rid of illness and disasters, and it is called a stand-in. Taoist Zhang from the Jiafu Family Temple Tiekan Temple is the stand-in for the second generation of Rong Guo Duke Jia Yuan. Only wealthy people can afford it.
Miaoyu was buried in the rain and turned around, with long hair draped over her shoulders. Although the paddy clothes made of silk and satin were wide, the autumn wind could also roughly estimate her figure, with the gracefulness of a Jiangnan woman, with plain face facing the sky without makeup, and her thin lips were pursed. It made people sigh that this ruined temple treated the beauty unfairly - except for the red plum in the corner of the wall, it added a little color.
Wang Yinglin and Kuang Liuhe came back from the sluggishness. Kuang Liuhe turned red and became squinting. He was okay in gossip and fortune telling, but he couldn't speak when facing other women. If Zhang Maocai was there, he would definitely be a few words.
The three brothers of the two brothers stood on the right road in the yard, and Wang Yinglin asked, "Ask the wise man, today we pilgrims come out to watch and pray for blessings. I wonder why the temple is so deserted?"
"No one comes, it will be deserted. If you come, it will be even deserted. Wouldn't it be even more deserted when I come?" Miaoyu didn't want to answer, for fear that three stinky men would approach, so she held the hoe to the stairs.
Jia Cong suddenly realized that he had seen it in the Red Chamber, and Xing Xiuyan said that Miaoyu was "unable to power" in Suzhou, and the situation should be similar to that now.
Her look of ignoring her, but she was also annoying. Kuang Liuhe said unhappily: "Girl, we pilgrims want to donate incense money to the temple. Since ancient times, there has been no reason to refuse customers."
Miao Yutou was about to enter the temple without looking back.
Wang Yinglin was wise in an emergency: "Miss, we have a No. 1 Prodigy from Dashun, who is a piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, music and music. We can do everything. Even Lao Zhuang's theory and Buddhist Zen theory are also dabbled in. Girls don't want to find a cool place, taste tea, play chess, and talk about it?"
"Oh? I've been lying for a long time." Miaoyu still didn't look back, entered the temple, and walked towards the side hall, his tone was full of teasing.
In ancient times, nuns, women, and Taoist priests in temples and Taoism were able to enter the upper class of officials because they occupied the name of Buddhism and Taoism. Therefore, many officials and men also had knowledge of the martyrdom and seduced temple women, and secretly caused many shocking things. There were also grandmothers and ladies from official families who secretly met with temple monks. For example, during the Henan case during the Yongzheng period, nuns disrupted the officialdom, which almost involved senior bureaucrats in Henan and were well-known.
Miaoyu should think that they are such people. Maybe this is not the first time she has encountered such a thing. The Jiangnan style also has an open side. Her face and temperament may have attracted some people.
Wang Yinglin was not disappointed, but said excitedly: "Do you thank me? This girl is so strong, who can take her down? I like women who disobey to show our men's ability to conquer."
Kuang Liuhe: "..."
Jia Cong smiled and turned his palms into a fan: "She will not come out to meet again, let's go, go and go to the temple fair."
...
In the clean room of Muni Courtyard, Master Fahua sat cross-legged on the cushion, his wrinkled hands plucked the rosary. Miaoyu came in, but her eyes were still closed and she was wearing an old cassock: "There is a distinguished guest visiting, right?"
"Distinguished Guest?" Miaoyu added incense and turned around and sneered: "What kind of distinguished guests are they?"
"You are arrogant and always have poor Buddhism. The Xing family girl made fun of you, 'No one, no ghost,' so you can't recognize noble people." Master Fahua said: "Just just now, I saw the faces of the three people in the back of the palace. The youngest young man should have died prematurely, but I don't know if it was because of my unclear eyes. He was clearly a person who changed his fate against the will of heaven. Such a person has great luck."
Miaoyu didn't care and said, "Master, when it comes to Miss Xing, isn't it his cousin? I have heard of this prodigy's reputation all the way to Beijing. Miss Xing also said that her aunt was the eldest wife of Rongguo Mansion two years ago."
"It's better if you don't listen. We won't have power in Suzhou, and all our livelihoods will depend on you. There is not much more day for our master to pass away." Master Fahua smiled slightly.
"Master..." Miaoyu's body trembled slightly. In her life, the Buddhist background is more important and influential than the family background. She became a monk at the age of three and started to be a neighbor with Xing Xiuyan for ten years at the age of six. The one who had the most contact with him from childhood was the master, Xing Xiuyan, but Xing Xiuyan had no influence on her. Instead, she taught Xing Xiuyan to recognize words and read.
"Birth, old age, sickness and death are common things, so why is there any sorrow?" Master Fahua said calmly: "I don't have many last words. Since I have entered the capital, I will keep it forever. Entering my fire, I will be able to get a cool door. The nobles are not far away, and everyone has their own destiny. It is not a long-term thing for you to rent here. Amitabha, go."
Miaoyu closed the door of the clean room, and tears couldn't stop spinning. Where can I go?
...
The three of them came back from the temple fair in the West Suburbs and entered the city. At that time, Zhang Maocai also walked back to the Shanhai Bookstore in Xixiao City, and kept praising his sister from Beiqinghe Factory. He kept praising her. He even said that he would meet a wonderful person at Ximen Muni Courtyard. He praised her repeatedly. Zhang Maocai regretted it and became extremely angry and scolded them for being unfaithful. He didn't even ask him for such a good thing.
A few days later, the newspaper report was stopped under the wooden stakes of the guise: "Good news! Good news! King Yinglin of Shanhai League won the fifth place in the Spring and Autumn Period!"
Several people came out together and were overjoyed. Wang Yinglin asked, "Is there no more?"
"I won one of the others." Zhuanzi said strangely.
Wang Yinglin felt embarrassed, and Jia Cong said calmly: "I have added a juren, which is a blessing for our Shanhai Alliance. Brother Wang, go to the Luming Banquet quickly, let's get the test papers together."
Kuang Liuhe staggered back a few steps, and was hit hard, and Zhang Maocai was bored.
Zhang Bang and Shi Chuan were all in Shuntian Prefecture's yamen. When they went there, there was a crowd of people at the gate, and all square scarves were floating.
Wang Yinglin was invited by the clerk, but returned, with an extremely ugly face: "Zi Li, my teacher is Qian Xihong. I asked the clerk and he has deposed your paper. I won't attend this Lu Ming Banquet!"
At this time, Jia Cong had already brought back the ink scroll and Zhu Juan, standing outside the screen wall on the right side of the yamen. Zhang Maocai snorted coldly, took over to see Zhu Juan's criticism, and was furious: "What a bullshit examiner! When he was a Buddha, Zhenguan didn't understand it, and he misjudged it! This was a misjudgment!"
After watching the three of them, they all looked angry and looked at Jia Cong who didn't say a word. When he made a decision, should he fight back or compromise?
Counterattack against Qian Xihong may be able to find more clues, but this is just a revenge, and things have come to this point and cannot be changed.
Second, Qian Xihong became Wang Yinglin's teacher. The importance of juren to scholars is self-evident. Wang Yinglin cannot not want to receive this honor.
How to make a decision if you are allies on one side and enemies on the other?
