Although the common people still cannot afford to wear silk and satin, they can still afford ordinary cotton clothes. The Ming Dynasty Royal Weaving Company weaves millions of pieces of cotton cloth every year, although nearly 40% of these cotton cloths are sold to maritime merchants.
It has gone overseas, but there are also a lot of cotton fabrics woven by private people.
Not to mention that ordinary people can buy cotton clothes at will, at least they can still afford it with grit.
When people are fed and clothed, they will not be the first to go there. Most people will choose to thank God first, followed by Lao Zhu, and then worship Buddha.
Under such a general trend, it is difficult for the incense in Tianjie Temple not to be strong!
The distance was less than a hundred feet, but Han Du and An Qing walked for more than a quarter before reaching the mountain gate.
Eight huge square stone pillars, together they raised a huge stone-carved archway with a plaque hanging on it.
In the letter, there are six golden characters: "The No. 1 Zen Forest in the World".
This is the imperial list personally inscribed by Lao Zhu. It is precisely because of this imperial list that Lao Zhu established the Senglu Division, which manages the world's monks and nuns, in this Tianjie Temple. ??
Tianjie Zhaoti, one of the forty-eight scenic spots in Jinling, is located in Tianjie Temple.
Although Han Du has seen it more than once, he must go and see it every time he comes here. Besides, An Qing has never seen it. Since he has brought An Qing here, he will naturally not let her take advantage of her happiness and ruin her happiness.
And return.
You can almost see the whole Tianjie Temple from Tianjie Zhaoti. Standing here and looking out, you can see that the entire Tianjie Temple is surrounded by hills and shaded by green trees. Coupled with the occasional sound of morning bells and evening drums from the temple, the majestic temple and the trees blend into one.
, the environment is deep and simple, making people feel like a paradise.
When some literati stayed there, they might feel relaxed and happy, making people forget to leave; they might recite poems and compose poems with two or three friends, making them feel spiritually and spiritually ethereal.
The wandering tourists shuttle among the mountains and forests, accompanied by the clear and crisp chirping of birds, giving people a sense of openness and tranquility.
Just when Han Du and An Qing were enjoying themselves in Tianjie Temple, monk Yan Ne hurriedly came outside Zong Lai's Zen room.
"Come in." Although Zong Long is old, he has sharp ears and eyes. He heard the movement outside the door and spoke.
Yan Ne pushed the door open and came in, then closed the door again and bowed to Zong Li, "President."
Zong Lai smiled and sighed in a long voice: "What do you want to do here?"
Yan Ne slowly raised his head and said, "Master, Marquis Zhenhai has arrived at Tianjie Temple. However, he has no intention of coming to see the Master. Instead, he is taking Princess Anqing to play in the temple."
You can tell from Yan Ne's words that Tianjie Temple treats Han Du very much.
Shang Xin, it is even possible that he was targeted before he even entered Tianjie Temple.
Zong Long nodded slowly when he heard this. Although his expression did not change at all, he couldn't help but feel strange in his heart. He didn't understand what Han Du wanted to do.
By the way, Zong Long thinks that he has known countless people in his life. Even when the emperor met him for the first time, he could tell a few things. Even if he couldn't guess all of the emperor's thoughts, he could at least guess half a dozen of them.
point.
But until now, he was still in a fog when looking at Han Du. What was Han Du thinking in his heart and what Han Du wanted to do, even if he stood in front of Han Du, he couldn't tell at all.
Not the slightest clue.
It's as if Han Du is completely different from the rest of the world.
After thinking for a moment, Zong Lai still smiled as before and said slowly: "If he wants to play, just let him play."
At the end, Zong Yi moved his lips a few times and added, "As long as you don't want to default on your debt, that's fine."
After Yan Ne heard this, his expression became even more serious and he said, "What if he just wants to default on the debt?"
At that time, he thought he had extraordinary determination and rashly accepted the bet with Han Du, so his cultivation was destroyed by Han Du. At that time, he hated Han Du deeply. Just imagine, how many times Han Du ruined him.
After ten years of hard work, how could he not hate it so much?
Fortunately, he was later pulled back by Zong Di, and Zong Di told him to let go of his hatred for Han Du, so that he could truly recover his cultivation, and even go further.
Yan Ne listened and he did it.
But although he no longer hates Han Du, he does not have the slightest fondness for Han Du.
Zong Lai still had his original smile and said: "Then the poor monk had no choice but to take the initiative to block him."
Yan Ne was stunned. He didn't expect that the always solemn host would actually say something to block people. But to deal with a scheming person like Han Du, blocking people is the best way.
Han Du did not let Zong Di block the door. After playing with Anqing for a while, he came outside Zong Di's Zen room.
Yan Ne stood at the door. When he saw Han Du coming, his face became a little better. He bowed to Han Du and said, "I pay my respects to the Marquis."
"Hey, Yan Ne, are you here too?" Han Du greeted with a smile, "Where is Monk Zong Lai? He is waiting for me inside?"
Yan Ne's profound Buddhist practice, after hearing Han Du's words, he couldn't help but twitch his face. Zong Lai
His reputation as the best poet monk in the world was so great that even the emperor called him "Lixiucai", and when it came to Han Du's mouth, he became "monk Zongli".
However, Yan Ne did not hear any expression from the abbot in the Zen room, so he could only suppress his anger, lowered his head and replied: "The abbot ordered the poor monk to wait for the Marquis here. The abbot is already waiting for the Marquis inside, please!"
After saying that, he turned around and pushed open the door, signaling to Han Du.
Han Du held An Qing's hand and they walked into the meditation room together.
When Yan Ne saw Princess Anqing following her in, her eyelids couldn't help but twitch. Then she had to hold it back and let out a small sigh.
Han Du walked into the Zen room and just turned around a screen when he saw Monk Zongli sitting on a futon wearing a wide cassock, looking like a Maitreya Buddha.
"It's really trustworthy that the Marquis came as promised." Monk Zong Lai said with a smile on his face, both of his eyebrows were white.
Han Du was not polite, walked up to Zong Li and sat down on the futon, and also pulled An Qing over to sit down.
An Qing felt a little embarrassed when he saw that Han Du was in front of Zong Di as if he were at home. He quickly apologized and said: "Master Zong Di, my husband, he is used to being like this, so please don't get along with him."
"
Monk Zongli smiled and bowed slightly to Princess Anqing, saying: "Princess, you are serious. The Marquis has Buddha nature in his body, and every move he makes has the intention of being a Buddha."
After hearing this, An Qing looked a little better and timidly sat down next to Han Du.
Han Du curled his lips and said: "Don't talk about such nonsense as having Buddha nature in your body. Even if you talk about it today, I will not become a monk."
"What? Become a monk?" An Qing finally realized that what Monk Zong Di said just now was clearly to persuade Han Du to become a monk. But what should she do if Han Du becomes a monk?
The slightest apology to Monk Zong Di disappeared in an instant. An Qing stared at Zong Di warily. This was a bad guy who wanted to take away her husband!
His hands involuntarily held Han Du tighter.
Han Du didn't take Monk Zong's words to heart at all. Instead, he said loudly: "I heard that the vegetarian restaurant in Tianjie Temple is good. It happened that the princess and I were hungry after running around. Why don't you bring the vegetarian restaurant quickly?"
Yan Ne, who was standing behind, heard Han Du's words and was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his head.
Eat? Here?
This is the Zen room where the host conducts meditation. Even the host himself has never eaten here.
I'm afraid it will disturb the purity here.
But what made Yan Ne even more unbelievable was that the abbot nodded to him and ordered, "Go bring some vegetarian food."
"Abbot, are you here?" Yan Ne asked in confusion.
It's so easy for Han Du to eat vegetarian. As long as he goes out to eat, he will give Han Du as much as he wants to eat. But why do he have to eat here?
Zong Long smiled, nodded again, and said, "It's okay, go get it."
After hesitating for a moment, Yan Ne leaned over and replied: "Yes."
After Yan Ne left, Han Du had no intention of speaking again, and did not even look at Zong Long. Instead, he looked towards Zong Long's Zen room.
But Zong Lai's Zen room was extremely simple. Except for a big "Buddha" hanging on the wall behind him, there wasn't even a hair on the wall. But even so, Han Du looked at it with gusto.
After a while, Yan Ne came in carrying the vegetarian meal on a tray. But after taking a look, he didn't know where to put the vegetarian meal.
It was Zong Long who spoke, pointed in front of Han Du, and said, "Just put it here."
Yan Ne lowered his head reluctantly, "Yes."
He placed the plates and dishes on the tray in front of Han Du one by one. After placing them, he stood up with the tray and stood by the door to wait.
Zong Ai smiled and stretched out his hand towards Su Zhai, "Master Marquis, Your Royal Highness, please try the Su Zhai at Tianjie Temple."
The vegetarian food at Tianjie Temple is very good. Although there is no trace of meat or meat, it is full of color, flavor and flavor.
"Then you're welcome." Han Du was really hungry. Although Tianjie Temple had countless beautiful views, there were climbs everywhere, so he was already tired and hungry.
An Qing was also hungry, but she was fine and knew how to express her gratitude to Zong Di, "Thank you, Master Zong Di."
Han Du was not so polite, and directly served An Qing a bowl of vegetarian food, and then served himself another bowl, and ate it without restraint.
Just as An Qing picked up the bowl and took a small bite, he heard Han Du chewing the pickled radish and making a crunching sound. His pretty face turned slightly red and he wanted to kick Han Du.
Han Du always eats well at home, but when he comes here, he feels like a starving ghost reincarnated? Is this vegetarian food really so delicious?
An Qing tasted another sip and felt that the vegetarian food tasted really good, but Han Du had not eaten it to the point of disregarding etiquette. There were no delicacies in the house, and there were no less than twenty kinds of food that were as good as this vegetarian food.
