Entering the autumn harvest season, the side hall of the Zhongxian County House where guests receive guests has become a meeting hall. Almost every day, stewards and shopkeepers come to discuss various industry matters with Tian Minyan.
After meeting the manager of Qianzhifang's workshop in Kyoto, Tian Minyan rubbed her forehead, there were so many things to do.
Last year, the trial planting of cotton was successful. This year, Emperor Ren De ordered to vigorously promote the planting in places suitable for growing cotton. Since it is the first time to implement it nationwide, the benefits will naturally not be the same, but the benefits will not be zero. It is now the time to harvest cotton.
When the time comes, she naturally has to plan.
As Qianzhifang is the first cotton cloth production house, since it wants to become famous, it will naturally have to purchase a large amount of cotton and produce various cotton crops. Moreover, she has an idea to take shape. How to do it will be discussed with Qi Shiqi.
.
So when I met the manager of the workshop today, I talked about buying cotton from various places. After talking for a long time, my head was swollen.
She picked up the tea cup at hand and took a sip. The taste of tea was different from the past. She lowered her head and saw a few scattered tribute chrysanthemums and a few wolfberry berries floating in the tea cup.
She smiled slightly, looked up at Ruyi who was helping to clean up the account books, and said with a smile: "Ruyi, you are becoming more and more responsible. You serve me so well that I can't live without you."
Making tea with chrysanthemums and wolfberry can clear the mind and improve the eyesight. During these days, she looked at the account books and reform plans of various industries, and her eyes swelled.
Ruyi smiled and said calmly: "Miss, you haven't stopped since you went to the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet. You also read these things at night, and you also met with the boss during the day. When I saw that your eyes were red, I made the decision.
Brewing this tea will also moisten your heart and brighten your eyesight."
"You did a good job." Tian Minyan said approvingly, and then sighed: "I don't know when dad and brother will come back, so I can leave these things to them."
Ruyi pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "I'm afraid you will ask questions when the master and the eldest master come back."
Tian Minyan held her chin up and thought for a while. It seemed like this. She was always worried about everything. She touched her cheek and asked, "Ruyi, do you think I am getting old?"
Ruyi chuckled and said angrily: "What did the young lady say? You are of a good age and you are not afraid of people laughing at you."
"A woman's appearance is very important." Tian Minyan retorted, and after thinking for a while, she said, "No, you can prepare pearl powder and egg white for me tonight. I'm going to make a facial mask."
"Why."
While the two masters and servants were talking, Hongye walked in quickly, saluted Tian Minyan, and reported with a smile: "Miss, Princess Ruimin's Mansion has sent someone to deliver a message."
"Oh?" Tian Minyan sat up straight, took the post from Hongye, opened it and was stunned.
The post was about Princess Ruimin inviting her to go to Fengshan Mountain to enjoy the red leaves on the first day of the new year.
Princess Ruimin had invited her to the Princess Mansion, and she had also been to other courtyards and teahouses. This was her first time to go to Fengshan Mountain to enjoy the red leaves and incense!
"Miss, take this opportunity to take a break. I see that you have been very busy recently." Ruyi glanced at the post and said with a smile, "I heard that the fiery red of Fengshan Mountain is very beautiful!"
"Yes, miss, there are many people in Maple Mountain every year at this time." Hongye grew up in Kyoto and said with a smile.
Tian Minyan recalled what Qi Shiqi had said in Yangmei Village. Maple Mountain was a scene in Kyoto. When the maple leaves all over the mountain turned red, they looked like flames, and a strange feeling arose.
Could it be that he borrowed Princess Ruimin's hand to invite him to visit Fengshan?
Thinking of this, Tian Minyan's face burned a little, and the scene where the two of them were alone in the past suddenly appeared, sweet.
"Miss, Miss?" Ruyi waved in front of her eyes and asked strangely: "Why is your face so red, but is it hot?"
Tian Minyan coughed and said, "No, maybe the tea is hot." In order to avoid Ruyi asking more questions, she hurriedly added, "Hongye, you went back to the princess mansion, so just say that I accepted the invitation."
"Why."
Since it was the first morning of October to burn incense and the journey was long, I went to Fengshan one day in advance and stayed overnight. Tian Minyan told Luo Shi, but Luo Shi was worried and asked the three girls around her to go with her.
Only one Hongye was left to guard the courtyard, and she was asked to go along with her, along with a nun and a third-class girl.
On the 30th day, the carriage from Princess Ruimin’s Mansion came to the Zhongxian County Uncle’s Mansion to pick up Tian Minyan and go to Fengshan. Although the carriage sent by the Princess’s Mansion was large, because there were many people on Tian Minyan’s side, the Zhongxian County Uncle’s Mansion also sent
They got a carriage, the girl sat on it, and the whole party set off in a grand way.
Tian Minyan originally thought that Qi Qiqi had borrowed Princess Ruimin's hand to invite her, but after seeing Princess Ruimin, she realized that she had thought too much, and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Fengshan is located in Puluo Town on the outskirts of Beijing. It takes two hours by carriage from Kyoto, which is nearly half a day's journey.
Tian Minyan talked to Princess Ruimin for a while, and saw that she was a little tired, so she returned to her carriage to rest her mind, looking at the rather desolate scenery outside the carriage window, feeling a little sleepy, what was he doing?
Following the sound of the carriage's wheels, she fell asleep in a daze. When she woke up, she had arrived at the temple in Fengshan. Princess Xu Ruimin greeted her in advance. At this time, the temple had been cleared, and the deputy director stood at the
Princess Ruimin was waiting at the door with a smile.
"Phanxi Jingkong has met Princess Ruimin." Master Jingkong put his hands together, holding a sandalwood bead chain in his palms, and bowed slightly to Princess Ruimin.
Princess Ruimin didn't put on any airs, she put her hands together and returned the gift. When Tian Minyan saw it, she thought that the ancients may have believed in Buddhism. Princess Ruimin was so cold, but even in a place like this, her face was calm, because she had fought on the battlefield.
Is it heavy? Or is it because it is in an important place in Buddhism?
"This is the Lord of Huimin County." Master Jingkong saluted Tian Minyan with his palms clasped together. Tian Minyan did not dare to express his gratitude and immediately returned the gift devoutly.
Since it was already noon, the temple had already prepared vegetarian food, so Tian Minyan followed Princess Ruimin to the Zen room to freshen up and have a meal.
The Fengshen Temple in Fengshan is very popular. Legend has it that many years ago, someone saw gods appearing in Fengshan, so this temple is called Fengshen Temple.
After lunch, Princess Ruimin rested in the arranged room and told Tian Minyan that no outsiders would be allowed to enter or leave the maple forest on the mountain from this afternoon on. If Tian Minyan was interested, she could go there and play.
Tian Minyan agreed with a smile. Perhaps it was because Qi Shiqi didn't come and she hadn't had enough time to eat, so she felt a little sleepy. She leaned on the couch in the wing room and kept flipping through the scriptures on the table. Finally, because of the thought in her heart
Feeling annoyed, he closed the book and walked out of the side room.
Although Princess Ruimin said there would be no outsiders, Tian Minyan still brought Jixiang Qingzhi and the others with her just in case.
I was wandering around the temple out of boredom, worshiping devoutly when I came across a Buddhist hall. I walked around a small Buddhist hall, but was suddenly stopped by a young monk.
"Is this Mr. Huimin County in front of you?" the young monk asked respectfully, clasping his palms together.
"Back to my little master, Xin Nu is right."
"My host has invited Mr. Huimin County."
When Qingzhi heard this, he was extremely surprised and even screamed softly. Tian Minyan's heart moved and she asked quietly if there was anything wrong?
Qingzhi hurriedly said: "Master Jingyuan, the abbot of Fengshen Temple, is a man of Taoism and abhorrence. He lives in seclusion and is rarely seen by people unless he is destined to be there. To be able to receive guidance from Master Jingyuan is a blessing that no one else can ask for!"
Tian Minyan said with a click that she had attained the rank of eminent monk, and she subconsciously wanted to refuse to see him.
These eminent monks have their own prestige and abilities. If they saw that she was a ghost from another world, would they think of her as a monster and want her to die?
"Master Huimin, Master Jingyuan said that he would like to talk about the tea ceremony with the county master." The young monk seemed to see her hesitation, so he told Master Jingyuan what he said. Master Xindao really knows things like a god. This Huimin
The county gentleman really doesn’t want to see him!
At this point, Tian Minyan swallowed her saliva and had no choice but to twitch at the corner of her mouth, but she kept it in mind and asked Jixiang to go back to the princess, saying that Master Jingyuan asked her to teach Zen. Jixiang ran away in response, and she followed the little girl.
The monk went to the Zen room where Jingyuan was.
Like many Zen rooms, the layout of the Jingyuan Zen room is plain and unpretentious, with only a few sandalwoods. On the Zen seat, the master is not as round as all the monks. He has a thin frame and is already in his late teens, but his face is as gentle and friendly as still water.
, that kind of gentleness is the kind of gentleness that makes people calm down when they see it, and has some shadow of the spirit of immortality.
Tian Minyan asked Qingzhi to wait outside, while she entered the meditation room and bowed to Master Jingyuan in an upright manner, lowering her head and not daring to breathe.
"Donor, there is no need to be polite, please sit down." The warm voice, like warm spring water, trickled by, making people's uneasy hearts calm down.
Tian Minyan thanked her and knelt down on the futon. She boldly raised her head, but she met his eyes. Those eyes were as deep and waveless as ancient wells, and like the deep sea, embracing all rivers and looking at the world with kindness.
.
Tian Minyan was stunned and quickly lowered her head, not daring to raise her head again.
"Looking at the clear and peaceful look on the donor's face, I think he has become one with this time and space." Master Jingyuan personally poured her a cup of tea and spoke gently.
Tian Minyan was startled and raised her head. Those eyes clearly penetrated everything. She asked blankly: "Master, why did I come here? Will I go back?"
"Buddha said: All conditioned dharma. As soon as the donor comes, he will be at peace with him. Why should he care about the reasons for leaving or leaving?" Jingyuan said something incomprehensible.
Tian Min's face was slightly sunburned, she pursed her lips slightly, and wanted to ask, but Jingyuan had already talked about the tea ceremony with her. Until the end, she didn't know what she said. She only knew that Jingyuan gave her a string of rosary beads.
"Donor Tian, God has his own arrangements. Wandering thoughts and excessive calculations have misled you." Jingyuan said meaningfully.
Tian Minyan looked into his calm eyes, her heart was shocked, and she said piously: "Thank you, Master, for your guidance."
After leaving the wing, they saw Princess Ruimin waiting there with a look of anxiety and joy. When she saw Tian Minyan, her eyes fell on the rosary in her hand, and she was extremely surprised.
Master Jingyuan seemed to know that Princess Ruimin was coming, and called out inside. Princess Ruimin didn't have time to be surprised, and walked in dignifiedly with her hands folded.
