Chapter 6 The Dilemma of the Chu Family, and Legal Education
In the end, the Chu family still did not agree to this unreasonable request and completely broke up with the drug dealer in Yunzhou.
In the next few days, the Chu family seemed to be a lot duller. Chu's father and Chu's mother, together with Chu Yuexiang, were often not at home. Chu Yunshan also practiced martial arts extra hard. After finishing his meditation practice, he got up to practice swordsmanship without any pause. Everyone at the dinner table also
They all agreed to eat without speaking, and only occasionally exchanged a few polite words with Qin Junze. Qin Junze did not dare to disturb the Chu family much at this time, so he just casually walked around the streets on weekdays. Sometimes he would ask Uncle Fu to find some books when he felt cold.
Look, the servants all seem to be uneasy.
That night, the lights were turned on, and five people sat around the table in the main hall, seeming to be waiting for some news. The night gradually deepened, and a stove was added beside Mrs. Chu and Chu Yuexiang, but no one spoke.
Suddenly, Uncle Fu shouted at the door: "Master, the second master, the second wife, and the second young master are back."
Chu's father and Chu's mother hurriedly stood up to greet him, looking at the dusty visitor walking through the entrance hall, "Second brother, you are finally back, how is it? Do you agree?"
The man took his wife and sat down, took a big sip of tea, and said to Chu Xiangtian with a smile: "Brother, it's done. The other party has promised to supply large quantities. As long as the money is in place, they can supply us immediately."
"Haha, thank you for your hard work, Xiang Feng. If we can cooperate on this line for a long time, those old foxes in Yunzhou can say goodbye completely. Come and have a drink. I won't come back until I'm drunk tonight!"
After the two of them laughed, Chu Yunshan and Chu Yuexiang smiled and said hello to their second uncle and aunt. Chu Xiangfeng's son Chu Yunlan also said hello to his uncle and aunt. When they sat down, they found that there was one more person, Qin Junze.
Then he said hello to the three people he met for the first time. Chu Xiangfeng stared at it for a while and teased Chu Yuexiang: "Yuexiang, could it be that you have brought your sweetheart home to see you?"
"No way, second uncle, no, don't talk nonsense. He is a friend that my brother and I met last time when we went to Pufa Temple. He just lives in our house for a while. Who would have any thoughts about a young brother?"
Yes, it's extremely boring." Chu Yuexiang cried sweetly with a red face.
Qin Junze didn't want to be misunderstood, so he replied: "Uncle Chu is joking. This guy is just a commoner. How can he be compared with the eldest lady of the Chu family? Doesn't that mean we are not household members?"
"Hey, your name is Qin Junze, right? Why are you belittling yourself so much? Although I only heard about it in the letter, I still understand it. Our Chu family has always been quick to talk to others and do whatever we want. How could there be so many rules? Otherwise, there would be no such thing.
It's going to be like this with Yunzhou. If you have the intention, go for it. You can't go wrong with someone who can be praised by Yunshan, the silly nephew."
Chu Yunlan also echoed: "That's right, you can get married first and then start a career. My sister is a lady in front of outsiders, but in front of her own family she is just a child who has not grown up. She will do anything if she is coquettish and angry. If you can calm her down,
She can relax for a while now."
Qin Junze could only lower his head and smile, not daring to speak anymore. He dared to admit that the second master of the Chu family and his family were completely opposite to the personality of the head of the family. No wonder he had to be like many big families who tended to fight each other for power. He wanted to seize the opportunity.
You can't steal it either.
After finding a solution to the predicament, everyone spent the meal laughing. The two gentlemen were so drunk that they were helped back to the room by the two ladies. Chu Yunshan and Chu Yunlan did not drink much.
People were sitting together chatting about the things they had encountered. On the other hand, the eldest lady Chu Yuexiang was so drunk that her face was red as big as her palm, and she was swaying without knowing what she was mumbling, and she didn't need help from the servants.
Here we go.
Qin Junze didn't know what to do here anymore, so he said goodbye to everyone and went back to the room. After washing up and lying on the bed, the Chu family was out of trouble. He was also happy for them in his heart. Maybe only with goals and motivation can there be a future. I
What is the meaning of living like this? Will there really be a day when I see my mother again?
The sky was slightly bright. Qin Junze, who was used to getting up early, finished washing, took a deep breath, and opened the door. The Chu family seemed very peaceful today. Even Chu Yunshan, who was unable to get up to practice martial arts, was still dreaming. In the west courtyard, because of the second master of the Chu family,
The family also felt a little angry when they came back.
After telling the housekeeper Fu Bo, Qin Junze left the Chu Mansion alone and went to Pufa Temple.
On the street, breakfast stalls were set up on both sides one after another, and the busy day of the people at the bottom had begun. Qin Junze stopped at a steamed bun shop for a while, sat down to drink a cup of hot tea, and ate a plate of steamed buns. After paying,
After the tent, we went straight out of the city and walked towards Wangming Mountain. In the early morning, there were no people on Guan Road outside the city, and it was particularly deserted. The further we walked toward Wangming Mountain, the fewer people there were on the road.
This time when he came to Pufa Temple, Qin Junze first went to the hall to burn incense and pray, some for himself, some for the Chu family, and some for his mother. The incense of Zen was lingering, solemn and solemn, and a man in cassock sat cross-legged in front of the Buddha statue.
The master was holding rosary beads, clasping one hand upward, and whispering something in his mouth, and then followed by several young masters who knelt and sat around. After worshiping the Buddha statue, Qin Junze bowed slightly towards the master, then stood up and prepared to walk out.
"Donor, please stay," the master suddenly said and stopped, which shocked Qin Junze, "I have the temerity to ask the benefactor what his name is? Who is he?"
Qin Junze was stunned for a moment, wondering what this master meant? But if he thought about it carefully, his words and deeds should be that of the abbot here, Master Hui'an's senior brother, Master Huixin.
"Hello, master, my junior name is Qin Junze. I wonder what the master means?"
"Donor Qin, wait a moment. The poor monk has a few questions for the benefactor. I wonder if the benefactor can answer them?"
Qin Junze was stunned. When he was a child, he and his parents and family used to offer incense and worship Buddha. When had he ever heard of such rules? Could it be that Buddhism is different in different places? I believe that the master has no unfavorable intentions, and it is better to "do as the Romans do in the country"
Already.
"Master, I just want to ask, if you can tell me, I will never hide it."
The man in the cassock finally raised his head, stood up and turned to look at Qin Junze. Although his face was haggard and he was old, he was full of energy. It seemed that his eyes had great wisdom and could see through people's hearts. He came over.
His pace is slow but steady and powerful. If you compare him with the old man who signs his granddaughter on the street, he is still old and strong. I heard from Chu Yunshan that when martial arts reaches a certain level, one can live longer. It seems true.
So it is.
"The poor monk's name is Hui Xin," the master came up with a smile, "It's inconvenient to say more here. Donor Qin, please come with me."
Although they didn't understand it, they chose to believe it. The two walked through the back hall and arrived at a Zen courtyard. Except for a big tree in the courtyard and fallen leaves on the ground, they were surrounded by ancient walls.
In the Zen room, Qin Junze and Abbot Huixin sat opposite each other, "I wonder why Master Abbot came to see me? This should be the first time for this junior to see Master."
"Don't worry, little friend. I don't mean any harm by this poor monk. I just want to chat with you for a few words. After all, my junior brother admires you very much."
"That's ridiculous. Master, you probably didn't come to me just to compliment me. I'm used to speaking outright, and I have to rush back to the Chu family, so I don't need to use a tonal tone. Master, please ask me directly."
"Haha, my little friend's character is indeed different from that of ordinary teenagers. That poor monk got straight to the point. Didn't you know that my little friend's original name was Qin Junze?"
Qin Junze's eyes fluctuated, as if a kind of crazy gaze was growing, and his words became particularly cold, "Master, what do you mean by this?"
"Don't be nervous, little friend. My master used to travel around. Seventeen years ago, I passed through Dongzhou with my friends and met a family named Li. It happened that a baby boy was born in the Li family. This boy has excellent meridians and is a cultivator.
Wu's excellent seedling can achieve success even if his understanding is not high. Both the master and his friend valued this son. After a dispute, the master won the bet. He originally wanted to take him back to the temple to practice from an early age, but
After all, it is better to think twice before letting someone become a monk, or to wait until he is ten years old to see how enlightened he is and whether he is willing to convert to Buddhism. However, I did not expect that the master was in danger many years ago and passed away. I will go find that Li after everything is over.
When I named him the child, he was no longer in Dongzhou. I searched for him for a long time without success, so I had to give up."
Qin Junze never knew that he would have such an adventure when he was born, but it passed after all. The name Li Chen, hey, now only Qin Junze, this is the most real him now!
"Is my little friend the son of that surnamed Li?"
"yes."
"As fate would have it, I, my friend, have a fate with my Pufa Temple. Unfortunately, you are not willing to enter my temple. Maybe your opportunity is not here. I wanted to ask you about changing your name, but now that it has passed, I will
Forget it. Our Pufa Temple still welcomes children to visit us often."
"Thank you so much, Master, for telling me about the past today. I'm very grateful to you. After I achieve something in the future, I will definitely come back here and have a chat with you." Qin Junze stood up and bowed in salute, "I don't know where your master is buried. Can I pay my respects to you?"
"Of course, please come with me."
There is an ancient temple in the back mountain. It is quite old and only has a small room. When you open the door, you will see rows of spiritual tablets in front of you. "This is where the spiritual tablets of my seniors are. My master is the one on the far right.
The temple was renovated and built later, but there was no tampering here. It looks a bit old. I hope you will forgive me for any inconvenience."
"Don't dare," Qin Junze stood staring at the spiritual statue for a long time, closed his eyes, then opened his eyes, then lit incense, burned the incense, knelt on the futon, kowtowed, stood up, and then bowed to the many spiritual statues, "Today is the arrival of the junior Qin Junze
I pay my respects to all the senior monks. I believe it is fate that brings me here. If I can come back alive one day, I will come again to pay my respects."
It was already late when he said goodbye to the abbot. Qin Junze did not visit Master Hui'an, but asked the young monk in the temple to convey the message on his behalf, and then went directly down the mountain and returned to the Chu family.
Afterwards, Abbot Huixin also left the gate, not knowing where he was going.
