After this incident, the news that the young lady who was a miraculous doctor in Dingxi Houfu was no longer a young lady spread among the common people.
Why did the Dingxi Marquis not want her? The people were talking about it.
"..What else? Women must be unruly women..."
"...I heard that this young lady is always running outside and hanging out with men..."
As soon as the man finished saying this, he was kicked hard in the back.
"Oh, what grandson..." The man fell to the ground, jumped up angrily and turned around to curse.
Behind them stood three tall men, holding swords, guns, bows and arrows in their hands, and carrying a few pheasants and rabbits on their waists and shoulders. Although they were of different ages, their similar facial features showed that these men were blood brothers.
At this time, the three brothers stared at the man in front of them with leopard-like eyes.
"...Brother Dashan." The man immediately bent down and said with a smile.
"What did you say?" the older man in the middle asked in a deep voice.
"No, no..." the man said with a smile.
"Ms. Qi is a miracle doctor and the savior of our family. Let me hear someone say bad things about her again..." Orion slammed the iron fork in his hand to the ground, and the sharp iron fork was immediately inserted into the soil.
The few people chatting couldn't help but shudder.
The Maoshan Orion Hunters have always been domineering here because of the large number of brothers in the family and their strength. Who dares to take the initiative to cause trouble before it is too late to hide.
The people behind shrank their necks and slipped away.
"Yes, yes, Miracle Doctor Qi Niangzi, how dare you talk about her..." The man nodded hurriedly and smiled.
"It's good to know." Another younger Orion shouted with eyes wide open, "Why is Mrs. Qi walking out to treat people? She has a heart like a Bodhisattva. Keep your mind clear! Be careful of retribution!"
"Brother, Bodhisattva doesn't need to worry about whether you will get retribution or not. I will take care of it..." The younger man immediately rolled up his sleeves and said.
The man was so frightened that his legs became weak.
"Brother Xiaoshan, don't get me wrong..." he shouted hurriedly.
Fortunately, the mountain hunter stopped his brother and glared at the man.
"Let's go," he said, pulled out the iron fork and walked away.
"Brother, is Mrs. Qi really divorced?" The little brother followed and couldn't help but whisper.
"It's not divorce." Dashan turned around and glared at him, "I asked the scholar in the town, he said it was Heli, does Heli know?"
"There's no difference." The little brother stared and said, "Aren't they all kicked out..."
The second child pouted.
"It's really stupid. I don't even understand this. Didn't the old scholar say that Xiu is a man and drives away women, and Heli is a woman and doesn't want men. Do you understand?" Ershan said with a glare.
The little brother said "oh" and then suddenly realized.
"It turns out that Mrs. Qi doesn't want to Ding Xihou Mansion." He chuckled, "Then I'll be relieved."
Qi Yue sneezed.
"Who is talking about me?" she muttered, and smiled to herself, "I'm afraid no one will talk about me now..."
Hu San, not far away, heard it.
"Master, it's windy and cold on the mountain, you'd better take shelter." He hurriedly ran over and said.
Looking behind, the girl named Cui was panting and catching up.
The medicine basket behind Hu San was moved upwards.
How can I be a maid? She is far from Aru.
Thinking of Aru, Hu San couldn't help but feel a little sore in his nose. He must never see her again...
He and Aru are just pure acquaintances, but she still wants to cry when she thinks about it. Then if Mrs. Qi thinks about the Crown Prince, she will cry every night...
It's so miserable...
When Hu San came to his senses, Qi Yue had walked away without knowing it, and the girl was following him.
Qi Yue, who followed the example of these disciples and picked half a basket of pine branches, had just sat on a rock to rest when he saw someone coming hurriedly along the mountain road.
"Ms. Qi..." When he saw this, he hurriedly shouted.
Qi Yue looked over and was surprised to see it was the coffin boy.
"Xiao Coffin, why are you here too?" She stood up and smiled.
The coffin boy took a few steps closer, his face flushed, and there was thick sweat on his forehead, it was obvious that he had run all the way.
"Are you okay?" he asked breathlessly.
Qi Yue was stunned for a moment.
"Me?" she said, then thought of something, "You also know?"
Coffin Boy swallowed to relieve his dry throat and nodded.
"Yes, is it because of me?" he asked.
Cuizhi on the side stared wide-eyed, what? This man... Her face turned pale.
Qi Yue knew that the coffin boy was talking about dissecting corpses and laughed.
"No." she said.
She said no, and Coffin Boy didn't expect her to say it again, but Qi Yue continued.
"We all have different ideas, so we can't get along. It's okay. Isn't there a saying that says, if you don't agree, don't conspire against each other. If we unite, we will get together. If we don't, we will divide." She said.
It was the concept of marrying an equal wife. The coffin boy breathed a sigh of relief and told this woman so frankly. He understood that she was doing it to make him feel at ease, which made him feel a little sad.
"Don't be sad." He held it in for a long time and finally said this.
Qi Yue smiled.
"I'm not sad." She said, patting the backpack behind her. "The teacher said we need to collect pine branches, some kind of dewy pine branches, to make a medicinal primer. It's really a strange recipe, so I came over to help.
.”
Coffin Boy said oh.
"Then I'll take my leave." He said directly.
At this time, Hu San and others also came back.
"It just so happens that we are leaving too, let's go together." Qi Yue said.
A group of people went down the mountain huffing and puffing, and a temple at the foot of the mountain was filled with incense.
"What is that?" Qi Yue asked.
"It's the Great Buddhist Temple." Coffin Boy said.
This is the Great Buddhist Temple. Qi Yue looked at the temple and stopped.
"I've never been there," Coffin Boy said, a bit self-deprecating.
"Then go take a look." Qi Yue said.
In the Buddhist hall, Chang Yuncheng took the scriptures from the hands of the abbot.
"I have been worshiping in front of the Buddha for three days." The old monk said with a smile, and clasped his hands at Chang Yuncheng, "The prince's filial piety is a lesson, and the Buddha will bless his wife's health."
Chang Yuncheng nodded slightly.
"This is a string of Buddhist beads. I heard that the prince will be leaving today. This is my wish." The host added, taking off a string of Buddhist beads from his wrist, "I hope the prince will accept it."
Chang Yuncheng hurriedly reached out and took it.
"Thank you." He said, his voice low.
The host looked at him, sighed, and finally didn't say what he wanted to say.
"I'm sending my son-in-law to you," he said, extending his hand to invite me.
Chang Yuncheng nodded in return, and just as he was about to take a step forward, he heard voices outside the hall door. When the sound came in, Chang Yuncheng suddenly stopped.
"...This hall is the largest here? What is it worshiping?" Qi Yue asked.
"..I haven't been in there either." Coffin Boy replied, looking up at the inside.
"This is the Hall of the Heavenly King." Cuizhi said, "The enshrinement is Maitreya Bodhisattva."
Qi Yue and Coffin Boy both said oh.
"Where are Hu San and the others?" Qi Yue asked again.
Hu San and others ran over from the side.
"Come on, come on, the pine branches in this temple are better than those on the mountain." Hu San said in a low voice.
"Don't have bad ideas. You can't do anything random in the Buddhist Pure Land." Qi Yue glared at him.
Hu San chuckled and said, "I understand."
"Let's go in and take a look." Qi Yue stepped forward.
Coffin Boy stood motionless.
"I'd better not go in," he said, "so as not to pollute this Buddhist pure land."
Qi Yue looked back at him.
"Before the Buddha, all living beings are equal, why are you so special?" she said with a smile.
Coffin Boy was startled by what she said and then laughed, and without saying another word, he stepped in.
So many people came into the hall, and it suddenly became crowded and lively.
Through the window, Chang Yuncheng watched the woman worship devoutly in front of the Buddha.
"..What else is behind?" she stood up and asked.
A strange girl held her hand with a smile, and some familiar men led her back.
"...It's the Tianshi Palace..."
"...I heard that there is also a forest of steles, and many people come to make rubbings..."
The group of people chatted and laughed as they walked around the Buddha statue and went out through the back door.
Silence returned to the main hall, and the fragrance of Buddha lingered.
"Your Majesty..." the host whispered.
Chang Yuncheng looked away.
"Master, I want to take a spin by myself," he said.
The host nodded without asking a question.
"Your Majesty, please help yourself." He put his hands together and saluted.
Chang Yuncheng returned the gift and stepped out of the Xiang Pavilion.
"This is the Mani Palace..." As the girl next to our old lady, Cuizhi acted as the commentator, leading them all the way, "Ms. Qi..."
"Oh, I know this. Is it to worship Sakyamuni?" Qi Yue took over and said.
"Yes." Cuizhi smiled and nodded.
"The murals here are very beautiful, with Guanyin and the colorful sea Guanyin on them." A disciple added on the side.
Qi Yue became more interested and was the first to step forward.
After the Mani Palace returned to silence, Chang Yuncheng stepped in. He walked slowly, looked carefully, and stopped from time to time.
The strange look on his face made other incense-goers look at him from time to time.
"Everyone who comes to worship Buddha has unsolvable worries." An elderly woman sighed, "Even a rich man cannot escape."
Walking away to the last Dabei Pavilion, it was already noon.
"It's truly well-deserved." Standing on the steps of Dabei Pavilion, Qi Yue looked back and overlooked the entire temple.
There are many great Buddhist temples in modern times. I don’t know which one is this from later generations?
I don’t know if I’ve been there before, but I’d probably not recognize it if I’d been there. After a thousand years, how can it be that people are not things?
"Is vegetarian food here famous?" she turned and asked.
Cuizhi nodded.
"Yes, my old lady comes here to eat once a month." She smiled.
"Then let's go eat too." Qi Yue said.
Hu San thought of something and stood up.
"No, no, we can't get used to it..." he said carelessly.
A disciple behind him heard this and was puzzled.
"Senior brother, we haven't eaten yet, how do we know we're not used to it?" He couldn't help but muttered.
He was kicked by another disciple who reacted quickly.
"It's very expensive..." the disciple whispered.
Only then did the disciple realize that no, the Great Buddha Temple's vegetarian restaurant was famous far and wide, so naturally not everyone could afford it. If they could, Mrs. Qi would have to pay for the incense for them...
Madam Qi is no longer the young lady of Dingxihou. A woman's family is having a hard time, so how can she provide money?
Everyone shook their heads and said yes, yes, let's go back and eat.
Qi Yue didn't understand what they were thinking, so he smiled slightly. If he insisted, these disciples would feel uneasy, which would be boring.
"Then there's nothing delicious to eat after all." She waved her hand and said, "The store is being renovated today, so the teacher must have prepared a sumptuous meal. Let's go back and eat."
Everyone nodded, and the group started to walk out in a noisy manner. As soon as they took a step, a monk walked out of the Great Compassion Pavilion.
"Donor, stay here." He saluted and said, "Today, a noble person prayed for blessings and gave a vegetarian meal. I wonder if the donors may enjoy it and help that kind person to donate?"
Some rich people will make wishes and fulfill them, just like giving porridge outside the Buddhist temple, so it should be normal to give vegetarian meals.
Qi Yue and others' eyes lit up.
"Okay, okay." She nodded hurriedly and greeted everyone, "This is a good thing for you and me and everyone."
When they heard that they could eat for free, Hu San and others naturally had no objection, so the monk led everyone there happily.
In the vegetarian restaurant, vegetarian dishes are served one after another, accompanied by the sound of introductions and random compliments from Qi Yue and others. There is no such thing as eating without words here.
"Ms. Qi, try this, guess what it's made of?" Cuizhi said.
"…pumpkin!"
Laughter drifted in from the window. In a small quiet room next to the hall, Chang Yuncheng sat alone with his case.
There was a set of vegetarian dishes in front of him. Hearing the laughter there, he slowly picked up one of them.
"That's right, made of pumpkin." He murmured with a slight smile. He looked up at the opposite side, as if there were people sitting across from each other. Then he put the small piece of vegetarian food into his mouth and chewed it slowly.
One movement and one silence, one joy and one sorrow, two worlds separated by a window.
The host standing in the corner lowered his head and recited Amitabha.
