The winding path leads to a secluded place, and the meditation room is surrounded by deep flowers and trees.
As the sun sets, strolling in the temple, listening to the deep and distant bells, admiring the winter-resistant flowers and plants transplanted by the monks, and digesting the excessive vegetarian meals, is a unique artistic conception.
In the evening, the pilgrims and tourists staying in the temple were all settled one after another. Zhu Pingan took a walk back to the yard and saw the family living next door to him. This was a merchant family named Wang, who lived in two houses.
I don't know whether it was due to negligence by the monks or something else, but the two houses rented by the Wang family happened to be next door to Zhu Pingan's, and were separated by the room where Zhu Pingan lived. The one on the left was occupied by Mr. Wang and his wife, and the one on the right was the room where the Wang family's daughter rested.
Wang Shanghu and his family were all well-dressed in brocade and satin. Wang Shanghu and his wife were about forty years old. After Zhu Ping'an arrived, they stepped forward to talk to Zhu Ping'an.
The daughter of the Wang family is about sixteen or seventeen years old. She has an oval face and long and slender eyebrows. She is quite beautiful. However, after meeting the plainly dressed Zhu Ping'an, her eyes turned up slightly and she seemed a little disdainful.
"This young master, our family came here to worship Buddha and fulfill our vows. When we checked in, we communicated incorrectly with the guest monks in the temple. Unexpectedly, the young master's house happened to be sandwiched in the middle. I wonder if the young master could do it conveniently and change rooms with us, which would be good for our family.
Take care of one or two. Of course, I won’t let the young master’s work be in vain. A little trivial matter is not respectful.”
Merchant Wang said as he put a tael of silver into Zhu Ping'an's hand.
"It's vulgar to talk about money in the Pure Land of Buddhism. Changing rooms is just a piece of cake. You're welcome, uncle. Besides, I just want to rest and have to leave tomorrow. I'm not resting here." Zhu Ping'an smiled and put the money back in the king's pocket.
in the hands of merchants.
"Two days after tomorrow, there will be a grand gathering of the Longquan Temple. Why did the young master leave right after he arrived?" Wang Merchant asked in confusion.
"Oh. I'm going to the capital to take the exam. I'm afraid I won't be able to meet my Buddha." Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly and opened the door, ready to move things.
"Is it possible that the young master is going to the capital to participate in the Enke Examination?"
Wang Merchant was quick-thinking, his eyes lit up when he heard this, and his attitude became much more enthusiastic. Merchant is the most well-informed and well-informed. The only exam that will be held in the capital recently is the first Enke examination of this dynasty.
And those who participated in the examination were all Juren.
"Well, let's go to the capital to have a look and learn a lot." Zhu Ping'an replied casually while moving things out.
"Sir, I'd like to thank you so much this time. Why don't we have a simple dinner together tonight, so we can thank you."
After hearing Zhu Pingan's words, Wang Merchant instantly became more friendly. At first, he thought Zhu Pingan was a poor scholar who came here to play, but he didn't expect that he was actually a Juren who went to the capital to take the exam. Such a young Juren has great potential.
Merchant Wang couldn't help but want to make friends and invited Zhu Ping'an to have dinner with him.
"Thank you for your kindness, uncle, but I've already had dinner." Zhu Pingan bowed his hands and declined.
Zhu Pingan had very few things, so he moved them out in just two moves. Wang Merchant swapped his daughter's room with Zhu Pingan's, and their family lived together. Zhu Pingan and Wang Merchant's daughter's room became neighbors.
This is understandable. It is estimated that Wang Shanghu and his wife are doing some exercise here in the evening, and maybe they are coming to the temple to ask for a child.
After changing rooms, Zhu Ping'an went into the room to clean up, and Wang Merchant's family also went into their room to clean up.
When Zhu Ping'an had packed up and went out to buy fodder for the black horse, he found that the daughter of the Wang family was wearing a green brocade leather jacket and was standing at the door of her room with a smile and pursed lips, looking at him with a thin face.
Apply makeup and powder. There is a sense of spring in the corners of the eyebrows and the ends of the eyes, and the watery eyes seem to be dripping with water.
"Thank you very much for today, sir. My family has brought a pot and some beef and mutton. We can make shabu-shabu. Sir, please come and try it too."
The daughter of the Wang family pursed her red lips and invited Zhu Pingan with a smile. While speaking, she leaned slightly against the door frame and stretched out her delicate white jade hands, showing off her long-developed figure, adding a bit of charm.
This must be the legendary seduction.
"Thank you for your kindness, miss. I have already had dinner. Miss, please go and eat." Zhu Pingan cupped his hands and said lightly.
"After you've eaten, you can have some more."
The daughter of the Wang family looked at Zhu Pingan, her cheeks were flushed, and she pursed her red lips and said, as if she were a little girl, and her voice was charming and naive.
"Thank you for your kindness, girl. I just ate too much in the dining hall. I have to feed the horses, so I'll excuse you."
Zhu Ping'an shook his head, refused again, then turned around and walked towards Shamate Dark Horse.
This nerd is really incomprehensible!
The daughter of the Wang family looked at Zhu Pingan's back and stamped her feet slightly.
In the house just now, Wang Merchant and his wife and daughter said that the young man next door was a Juren. He also said that the boy was a Juren at a young age and that his future would be unlimited. They hinted intentionally or unintentionally that they should make good friends.
The daughter of the Wang family kept it in mind.
The young man was a good judge at a young age. Although he was not a jade tree, he was honest and honest. He would definitely be someone who knew both cold and hot things in the future. Moreover, although the young man was dressed plainly, he was very clean, especially because he was full of bookishness.
The daughter of the Wang family is refreshed after being rid of the philistine odor for a long time.
Ever since, this made the daughter of the Wang family feel moved, and that was how the scene just happened.
Zhu Ping'an begged fodder from the monks in the temple and fed Shamat's black horse.
After feeding the black horse, Zhu Pingan walked to the door of his room. When he was about to open the door, a red sachet fell from the sky and landed at Zhu Pingan's feet with a clatter.
The door of the next door was half open, and the sound of embroidered shoes running back could be heard in the room.
In response to this, Zhu Pingan was a little dumbfounded. He bent down to pick up the sachet and placed it gently at the door of the next room. Then he entered his room and closed the door.
When the daughter of the Wang family saw this, she stamped her feet angrily. She thought Zhu Pingan was a nerd who didn't understand the style, but she became even more interested. She planned to quietly throw the sachet into Zhu Pingan's room later.
When Zhu Pingan was lighting an oil lamp in his room and reading a book, he saw a figure walking outside the window. At a glance, he knew that figure was the daughter of the Wang family.
Isn’t it said that the ancients were reserved and restrained?
Then, Zhu Pingan heard a little movement at the door. Although it was very light, it was still audible.
At the gap between the door and the ground, a sachet was slowly squeezed in from the outside. The gap in the door was too small, and the sachet could not squeeze in for a while.
Hearing a grunt from outside, he put the sachet back as if he had given up.
But the next second, the sachet appeared again, and this time it went smoothly. The sachet came in at once, followed by a chopstick. Well, it turned out that the sachet was pushed in with chopsticks.
He is really persistent.
Zhu Ping'an looked at the extra chopsticks and sachet in the door, and immediately couldn't laugh or cry. (To be continued)
