It was clear after the snow, and the sun reflected dazzling white light on the snow. The whole world was illuminated translucently, not only the corners where the sun could not reach, but even the darkness in the heart felt a glimmer of light. Yun Ye felt as if he had
I have a mental illness. I laugh when others laugh. I cry when others cry depending on the situation. I always feel that I only react after watching other people's reactions. I'm just like a fool. The little girl can't climb on my back.
Come down, it doesn't matter, just carry it on your back, the little girl doesn't weigh a few kilograms, but it made the other little ones unhappy, and they all pout, but in the end they got a slap from the old lady and got into the carriage obediently.
The exclusive carriage that Yun Ye built at Longyou's advantage was sent back to his house by his subordinates last night. It was turned into a masterpiece by the family's carpenters. The axle was made of hundreds of steel, with four elastic thin steel sheets riveted on it.
The copper tiles hold the axle and rotate freely. The wheels made of ancient rattan are light and reduce bumps. The carriage is also padded with something unknown, which is soft and light. I heard from the military master who sent it that the marquis rode this carriage from
The journey from Longyou all the way back to Chang'an was not so bad for more than two thousand miles. There are many richer and more luxurious carriages in Chang'an than this carriage, but there are not many as comfortable as this one. The housekeeper's aunt is asking Yun Ye for help.
After his approval, he made it a carriage exclusively for the head of the Yun family and sent a highly skilled coachman to take care of the carriage.
The old lady hugged the little girl and got into the carriage pulled by two horses. The rules of the Hou Mansion stipulated that the head of the household must ride in a carriage with two horses. Yun Ye got on the mare that he had been riding and followed him beside the carriage.
Liu Jinbao and Zhuang San stopped in front to open the way. Four male servants held flags and flags, four maids carried incense burners, and eight guards on each side, charging towards Ci'en Temple in a mighty manner.
In fact, Da Ci'en Temple is not far away, just south of Chang'an City. Cross Zhuque Street and detour five miles to reach Ci'en Temple. At this time, Ci'en Temple was far from the legendary grandeur. It was only in the 22nd year of Zhenguan that it was opened.
It was expanded by the decree of His Majesty Li Er, renovated by Li Zhi, and monk Xuanzang built the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, which made it one of the four major translation sites. The Buddhist Dharma-Xiang-Wei Sect was born here.
The area around Ci'en Temple is a slum area. The dilapidated walls are mottled by the erosion of time, and the loess is exposed. They are all holes dug by sparrows. At this time, a pair of eyes behind the small holes in the wall looked at the Yun family in surprise.
The convoy was said to be luxurious, and they commented in a low voice which wealthy family came to this filthy place.
The fresh-faced square official opened the gate early, swept away the dust on the inner street, and several elderly people stood aside with bows.
The old lady couldn't sit still anymore, so she pulled Da Ya and Xiao Ya out of the carriage. When the old ladies saw the old lady, they hurried forward a few steps, and then stepped back under the scolding of the official. Obviously, the old lady
I got to know these old men when I was poor, but now that they are rich, the official thinks that it is an insult to the official status of the Yun family for these poor old men to come forward and chat with them as before.
"Brother Liu, Brother He, Daquan, Renzhu, why don't you recognize the old girl?" The old lady continued to use the old title regardless, with a smile on her face, and reached out to pull an old man with white hair and beard: "Mr. Liu
Brother, if you hadn't carried Da Ya over the wall all night long to seek medical advice for her, this girl would have been dead a long time ago. Why are we separated now?" Da Ya and Xiao Ya had long been holding the old man's legs, grandpa.
, Grandpa kept shouting. Old man Liu rubbed his hands on his legs a few times and carefully picked up the two little girls. His eyes were red and his mouth was trembling and speechless. Da Ya took out a pack of beef jerky and picked it up.
The old man picked up a stick and said, "My brother brought this to Da Ya from a long way from Longyou. It's delicious. Da Ya has been keeping it for Grandpa. Is it delicious?"
The old man burst into tears. He chewed hard beef jerky with his toothless mouth and nodded repeatedly.
Yun Ye had seen this scene before, and knew that once the floodgates of emotion were opened, the distance between identities would disappear. As expected, the women hiding in the house went out one after another, chattering around the old lady, whose face was glowing red.
He kept pulling Yun Ye around, showing off a few words here and showing off a few words that one, fully satisfying his vanity in the envious and awed eyes of the neighbors.
Yun Ye finished his clothes, dusted off his sleeves, and bowed respectfully to the neighbors, but all the old men said they dared not do so. Yun Ye said seriously: "It's true that friendship between the poor and the lowly is true. The Yun family is in trouble, and all the women and children in the family are grateful to the help of their superior neighbors.
Yun Ye will never forget it for the rest of his life. I have prepared a small gift today to repay your kindness in case of any eventuality, but I hope you will accept it with a smile."
The servants at the back pulled several large carts of gifts. The old lady had been poor and naturally knew what poor families needed. Several large carts of linen rolls, a hundred loads of grain, six fat pigs, and even charcoal and salt that were rarely used by poor families.
, there was no shortage of wine. Yun Ye rewarded the magistrate with a tael of silver, but he was really impatient to fill his pockets with copper coins, and the magistrate was so happy that he couldn't see anything. Since it was a reward, of course he had to get rid of the government, even the magistrate.
The semi-official people had to be thrown away, and they were handed over to the elders who led them to distribute snacks. A few little girls were surrounded by children. Although their clothes were shabby, they were very happy. It turned out that they were distributing snacks to the children. Watching.
The sight of them holding the snacks for their parents to take a bite made Yun Ye feel very sad.
He reluctantly bid farewell to the neighbors and continued to Ci'en Temple. After all, the Yun family is no longer suitable to mingle with the poor. It is not that the Yun family raises their own status, but that the class is different. The strict ethics cannot be broken by Yun Ye, a newcomer.
.
Ci'en Temple is right in front. The dilapidated temple and the poor monks are waiting outside the temple gate in the cold weather. The old lady asked the coachman to speed up for fear of freezing several masters.
Monks generally call themselves poor monks. Look at this poor master. He wears a gray monk's robe. His bald head turns blue from the cold in the cold weather. He is followed by several senior monks. He is really thin and tall, and his clothes are covered with patches.
, put his hands together to salute the Three Jewels. When Yun Ye helped the old lady out of the carriage and came forward to salute, he could not even say a sentence about Namo Amitabha. After the old woman and the elders had finished saluting, the elders led the way, and the whole family entered Ci'en Temple in a mighty manner.
.
The main hall is not big, only two feet high. The aggrieved Buddha had to rub his head against the roof, and the gold paint on his body was mottled as if he had a skin disease. In such a dilapidated temple, there are only five monks, one hall, and no Buddha.
There are three statues, covering an area of only ten acres. In any case, Yun Ye cannot connect them with the future Great Ci'en Temple. Xuanzang's trip to India did receive huge rewards. Not to mention the Big Wild Goose Pagoda that will become the landmark of Xi'an in the future.
, even the remaining buildings that have experienced wars and natural disasters are not comparable to this Ci'en Temple.
The old lady presented the tribute, and Yun Ye seemed to see the monks drooling, and faintly heard the growling sound of their stomachs. God, such a temple makes the old lady respect it like a god? Can you deceive people and give some capital? I won't see future generations.
In the temple, we don’t care whether the Buddha is alive or not. You have to pay the fare before entering the door, otherwise you will not be able to see the Buddha. Those so-called monks treat the Buddha as a monkey in the zoo and buy tickets to visit, which makes people unable to show any respect. This is the most disrespectful thing in the world.
Those who pay homage to the Buddha are the so-called monks.
Fortunately, these monks were still dedicated and insisted on completing the entire process of making vows. The old lady knelt on the futon devoutly and muttered something, for fear that any disrespect would cause the Buddha to be blamed. Not only the old lady, but also those who had suffered sins
The family members were also extremely pious. They took a shower, changed clothes, and dressed up before coming. They all had a big peach on their head. After asking, they found out that this was the most popular hair style among barbarians this year. They tried their best to dress themselves up so that the Buddha would like them, and there were many downgrades.
Here comes some good luck. The eight children, big and small, imitated adults and closed their eyes to recite Amitabha. Their pious appearance made people feel pity for them.
No matter what, Yun Ye let out a long sigh and knelt in front of the Buddha statue to thank the Buddha for giving him such a relative. The lost God gave him back. He did not treat himself badly. This worship was not to worship these clay and wood sculptures, but to worship his destiny.
Magic, the warmth of family.
Sure enough, there has been a constant process from ancient times to the present, which is to give money, a box full of copper coins, ten bolts of linen cloth, twenty pairs of monk's shoes, twenty sets of monk's robes, fifty stones of grain, as well as incense candles, and countless vegetarian oils.
.Excitement appeared on the face of the old monk Gujing Mubo. He was probably cheering that this winter was getting better.
The old lady had something on her mind, her grandchildren were surrounding her, she was smiling like Maitreya Buddha, and she was so energetic that it would not be a problem to live like this for another twenty years.
The horse was left to the servants, and the old lady was taken care of by the maids. The elders did not like to show their faces on the street, but the grandchildren did not have such worries. Da Ya occupied the position on Yun Ye's neck early and happily made faces for the sisters. Zhuang San
Stop, Liu Jinbao escorted a group of chattering women, big and small, and stepped forward to open the way to the West City.
Yun Ye has never seen a wide road before, but has he never seen a road this wide? It is 150 meters wide and ten miles long. If there is a World Cup at this time, what venue will be rotated? They will all be put on Zhuque Street to start the game.
They all started to live together. At first, I thought that such a large number of people and horses was eye-catching enough, but I didn’t expect to see an unknown woman smiling sweetly among the carriages and horses, with fragrant clothes and beards, which almost made Yun Ye fall in love.
The woman saw that Yun Ye was acting silly and looked like a country bumpkin, so she covered her mouth and chuckled. Da Ya covered her brother's eyes to prevent him from being deceived by the vixen, and bared her teeth at the woman, which made the woman laugh even more happily.
It's a pity that Zhang Yimou was wrong. There was no woman in palace clothes with half of her breast exposed, only a bloated woman wrapped like a panda.
Yun Ye sincerely hopes that in summer these women will not be as tightly wrapped as in winter. I finally got to the Tang Dynasty, so you can give me some benefits!
