Chapter 467 Resource Reuse(2/2)
After settling the accounts, she found a random reason to send the two nuns away, and then looked at Miaoyu who was sitting cross-legged in meditation but hesitated to speak.
"Alas~"
After a long time, Miaoyu opened her eyes and sighed, gritting her silver teeth and saying, "I'm afraid she's also part of his plan."
"Senior Sister is saying..."
Seeing the unwillingness and resistance on Miaoyu's face, Jingyi hurriedly changed her words: "Senior sister is familiar with scriptures, and her understanding of Buddhist philosophy is better than that of the old nun. If she is willing to come forward to hold a fasting party, she will definitely be able to raise more money.
.”
After a pause, he added: "If we stop the usual incense offerings, ten taels of silver a month should be enough."
Compared with the nuns' three meals, the incense offerings in the main hall are the largest expense in the temple.
However, this last sentence also revealed the truth, showing that she actually did not think highly of Miaoyu going to beg for alms.
When it comes to her understanding of Buddhism alone, I dare not say that Miaoyu is better than the old master. At least she is on par with her. But the problem is that she is a leader in practice, and her temper is...
Besides, most of the people who donate to Muni Yuan are women. They will not pay for Miaoyu's appearance, and it may even cause counter-effects.
But seeing Miaoyu shaking her head repeatedly: "The inheritance of Muni Yuan has not been cut off for hundreds of years. As soon as we came here, we stopped offering incense. Not to mention that the lay people will inevitably be suspicious. How can you and I tolerate it?"
After hearing this, Jingyi couldn't help but secretly smile bitterly, thinking that the girl's temper of wanting to save face and suffer hardship would probably never change in her lifetime.
"Then this fasting meeting..."
"Don't worry, let me think about it again."
Miaoyu shook her head again, and the resistance on her face was much stronger than when she mentioned Jiao Shun before.
Being a 'Buddha' means hiding behind closed doors. To hold this Dharma conference, she has to deal with all kinds of people. When she thinks of talking about Dharma with those ignorant fools, and even pretending to flatter them, she
I was filled with rejection and even fear.
If we really want to look into it carefully, her usual attitude of rejecting people from thousands of miles away is actually not without the element of social fear.
Seeing her like this, Jingyi couldn't say anything else. It happened that the bell for dinner rang outside, so she went to the kitchen to get vegetarian food.
Just as he was about to send Miaoyu's share of the "special offering for the host" to the Zen room, he suddenly saw the nun guarding the gate approaching in a panic and with a happy face. Before she could get closer, she shouted: "Senior sister, senior sister, the nun who bought it for the abbot
The master of Xiamuniyuan is here!"
Jingyi was taken aback. She didn't know whether to ask Miaoyu in advance or to go out to greet Jiao Shun. After hearing the news, several nuns rushed over. Some said they were going to inform the host for her, and some urged them to go out to greet Jiao Shun.
of.
The level of enthusiasm was even higher than yesterday when the master and the servant entered the Lord Muni Monastery.
The two nuns, fat and thin, had already told what they had just seen in the monastery. Everyone was a little pessimistic about the future situation. Suddenly they heard that a 'big benefactor' came to the door. Naturally, they were looking forward to getting a long-term meal ticket.
.
Jingyi couldn't refuse, so she had to rush out to greet him.
At that time, Jiao Shun had already entered the courtyard gate and was striding in carrying a small baggage.
Jingyi hurriedly came forward to greet him, but since it was not easy to take him directly to the Miaoyu Zen Room, she simply led Jiao Shun to the Main Hall. While ordering people to serve tea quickly, she sent someone again in front of Jiao Shun.
Go and invite Miaoyu.
"No rush."
Jiao Shun raised his hand and handed the baggage to Jingyi: "I will send this to you to host, and say that I will only wait for her here for a quarter of an hour."
Jingyi was stunned for a moment, then quickly took the baggage, told Jiao Shun, and hurried out of the Main Hall.
When she turned the corner and saw no one around, she opened her bag and took a quick look. Her pretty face immediately turned red, and her hands were trembling so hard that she wished she could throw these things out of the temple gate!
Needless to say, what is inside is the obscene clothes sorted out by jade bracelets.
Jiao Shun had previously thought about changing the costumes of Miaoyu's master and servant, but it happened that his family wanted to 'sell the stolen goods', so he simply came here to reuse the resources.
And because he usually picked up the second-rate and tore it apart, the remaining pieces were all 'treasures'. Jingyi felt ashamed just by looking at them, let alone giving them to Miaoyu to wear.
