Four hundred and seventieth chapters Dependent origin and extinction
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and Shen Xingwan doesn't like to go out.
The annual temple fair of Nanshan Temple was about to begin. Banxia begged, "Miss, let's go join in the fun. It's too boring to stay in the yard every day."
Before Shen Xingwan could agree, news came from the old lady that she was going to offer incense and pray for blessings.
Shen Xingwan naturally wanted to go with him. Although she said she didn't believe in ghosts and gods, she was in awe.
On the day of the temple fair, Shen Xingwan sat in the same car with the old lady and served her all the way.
When we got to the mountain, we saw a huge crowd of people.
They entered the backyard, which was not open to the public, and there were some high-status pilgrims inside.
The old lady was old after all. She was leaning on the couch and said, "I won't go to burn incense until evening. You can go out and play. I want to rest for a while."
"yes."
Shen Xingwan watched the old lady make arrangements and quietly stepped back.
She went back to her room and changed into neat clothes to cover up her eye-catching appearance, and prepared to go out for a walk with Qinghong.
As soon as I walked to the entrance of the courtyard, I met Shen Qingran who was greeting the old lady.
"The Xie family is here too today?"
Shen Qingran nodded, "I'll come back and say hello and come find you."
"I'll wait for you under the pear tree in front."
Shen Xingwan took people to the entrance of the temple. There was a huge crowd of people, old and young, and there were also young people setting up stalls. It was very lively.
She walked around and stood under the century-old pear tree, waiting for Shen Qingran.
Shen Qingran came out quickly and held her hand, "It really lives up to its reputation. It is the most lively temple fair in Yannan."
The two of them walked and watched, and even bought two bunches of candied haws.
There were more and more people. The two looked at each other and squeezed out of the crowd to go to the back mountain. There were also a lot of people in the back mountain, but it was much better than the front.
The two walked slowly to the top of the mountain. Many talented people and beauties were playing here. Shen Xingwan felt that his eyes were healed.
She glanced around and suddenly froze.
"See an acquaintance?"
Shen Qingran followed her gaze and was stunned.
"Is that person the Fourth Prince Lu Yu..."
It's a name that's so far away that it makes people feel trance-like, but it's not completely without an image.
There are several monks sitting on the stone steps in front who look like they have extraordinary temperament, one of them has a delicate face.
Perhaps their gazes were too hot, so Lu Yu turned around and saw them.
Surprise flashed in his eyes, and he walked over to them after greeting his senior brothers.
Lu Yu smiled and greeted, "Donor, long time no see."
It's hard not to be surprised when the cold-faced prince who was once the pride of the emperor appears in such an appearance.
Shen Qingran has been secretly in love with him for a long time, and when we see him again, things have changed, and the feelings in his heart are hard to distinguish.
Shen Xingwan was the first to react, "Why are you here?"
"I have become a monk at Huangjue Temple, with the title of Jingming. This time I am traveling with my senior brothers." Lu Yu said with a calm and calm expression.
"Meeting is fate, let me treat you to a cup of tea." Shen Xingwan invited.
Lu Yu was once one of the popular candidates for that chair. If he took the position, many things might be different.
"Okay." Lu Yu agreed.
Fortune made the two women in front of him have entanglements with him, but unfortunately they were destined to end up together.
In the room, the fragrance of tea wafted out. The three people sat cross-legged and were isolated from the bustle outside.
Shen Qingran finally came to his senses and adjusted his emotions, "Why did the fourth prince choose to become a monk?"
Lu Yu smiled faintly, "After my mother's death, I don't have much concern about this time anymore, so becoming a monk is the best choice."
His existence has always been a threat to the emperor. If he had not become a monk, he would have completely eliminated the possibility of sitting in that chair. The emperor may not let him go. He has seen too many open and secret fights and is tired.
The reason why he avoided traveling this time was because something was wrong with the emperor's heir, and someone in the clan had an idea for him. He didn't want to get involved in the struggle, so he simply left.
"Everyone has his own ambitions, so that's good." Shen Xingwan poured him tea.
No matter who comes to power in the future, they will not argue with a former prince who has become a monk.
"I will pray for the people here day and night." Lu Yu touched the Buddhist beads in his hand.
After finishing the cup of tea, Lu Yu stood up to say goodbye and drifted away.
He said, "We are destined to meet again."
But they all knew in their hearts that if nothing unexpected happened, they would never see each other again.
Shen Xingwan suddenly remembered that the first time he met him, it was also in the temple on a rainy day.
"I didn't expect that he would be the first to take a look." Shen Qingran said softly.
Shen Xingwan was not too surprised. When the fourth prince was still a prince, he had always been very dissociated. He basically did not participate in any struggles and was aloof.
She felt that his current choice was a good one, that he was detached from the world and stayed true to his true heart.
She glanced at Shen Qingran and said, "If you had agreed at the beginning, there would have been a different ending."
When Lu Yu came to propose marriage, Shen Qingran refused, and then fell seriously ill.
Shen Qingran smiled in the sunshine and said, "I will refuse it again. This is the best ending."
Otherwise, given the current relationship between the Shen family and the royal family, her position would be very awkward.
To her, he was like the bright moon in the sky in her golden years, something she could only hope to achieve.
Later, when she had the opportunity to pick the moon, she did not choose to pick it. To this day, she does not regret it at all.
Because there are more important people and things to her than a girl's thoughts.
Shen Qingran said with relief, "Since it is his choice, I hope he gets what he wants."
It's nice to have the moon always out of reach, and I might still miss it occasionally.
The old lady quickly sent someone to ask, and Shen Xingwan went over to explain in person.
"It's good. It's rare to find someone in the royal family who can carry things clearly like this." The old lady said as she leaned on the couch.
Shen Xingwan looked at her graying hair, feeling a little sad, and said softly, "What the royal family owes you will be paid back soon."
The old lady said happily, "You are all good children. I will wait for that day to come."
Her health has been getting worse recently, and she doesn't know how long she can live. Fortunately, the new generation can support the Shen family.
In the afternoon, Shen Xingwan and Shen Xingran watched the sunrise in front of the temple together, and saw a few monks leaving without looking back.
"They are going to continue to go far away..."
The two watched their backs disappear into the sunset, waving their sleeves not to take away a single cloud.
Shen Qingran chuckled and said, "Go back, sister, come to my place for dinner tonight. I ordered someone to prepare a table of special dishes."
Shen Xingwan went there happily, and that night the quiet sound of the piano floated from the small courtyard.
Shen Xingwan closed his eyes and listened, feeling peaceful in his heart, as if he was back on that rainy day again.
Dependent origination and cessation, in a single thought.
They are the best when they live in the present.
After the song ended, Shen Qingran decided to bury this past event completely.
