The Romance of the West Chamber: The Bells are Ringing

After serving Zhang Sheng's food and drink, the piano boy tidied up, got Zhang Sheng hot water to bathe as usual, and then stood aside at any time. But he saw Zhang Sheng soaking in the bathtub, staring straight at the roof, silent and distracted.

Qin Tong also wanted to inquire about the news, so he deliberately said: "Langjun, I think there is nothing interesting about going to Pujiu Temple. I think there are these Buddhist temples, Dharma halls and the like everywhere, so there won't be much difference."

Zhang Sheng shook his head slightly and said: "You don't understand. You don't understand. There is my Guanyin Bodhisattva in Pujiu Temple. As long as I can see her again, I will be satisfied!"

"Oh? Isn't that the Bodhisattva who begs for a child?" Qintong looked at Zhang Sheng in the bathtub and said, "Mr. Lang, you are young, why are you so anxious? Besides, you are not married yet. Once you are married, it will happen naturally!"

Zhang Sheng laughed dumbly and said: "You dog, oh, no, Zong Dan, you are still young and don't understand. I am going to get married soon!"

"Ah? I just went to this temple once in the afternoon. Are you going to get married, sir?" Qintong said with joy in his heart. It seems that Zhang Sheng has gained something from this trip, so his hard work is not in vain.

Seeing Zhang Sheng closing his eyes and remaining silent, thinking about it carefully, he added, "We are going to the capital all the way, but there are many young ladies waiting for you, Sir!"

"Go, go, go, I met the Bodhisattva in my heart today. The Bodhisattva came to earth to save me. From now on, I will never mess with women again!" Zhang Sheng suddenly opened his eyes and said loudly, "In my heart, there is only My female Bodhisattva!"

"That's strange. I don't know which female Bodhisattva asked you, Mr. Lang, to change your ways. Oh, no, it's not right to change your mind. You will find your way back. Isn't that okay?" Qin Tong's heart was clear and he couldn't help but say. .

Zhang Changchang took a breath and sighed: "Yes, I want to return from my lost ways and be reborn! I must get my female Bodhisattva!"

"Mr. Sir, may I ask who this female Bodhisattva is? I will also help you burn incense and pray. I wish your dreams will come true soon!" Qin Tong said at the right time.

Zhang Sheng shook his head and said: "Hey, Zong Dan, you don't know something. This female Bodhisattva is a fairy in the sky and an elf on earth. Her beautiful face and moving figure make me dream. I see. The moment she arrived, her soul was gone, and she seemed dead. Even now, my heart is still beating wildly for her."

"I guess the Bodhisattva in the temple is so exquisite and lifelike that your husband is confused by it, right?" Qin Tong saw that Zhang Shengwu was silent, so he provoked him.

As expected, Zhang Sheng couldn't stand the irritation and said angrily: "Nonsense, that is obviously a real fairy, Miss Yingying, the daughter of Cui Xiangguo who lives in the west wing of Pujiu Temple."

"Hey, why can the little lady live in the monk's temple?" Qintong asked knowingly, but also wanted to confirm how much Zhang Sheng knew.

Zhang Sheng turned to look at the piano boy with disdain and frowned: "Bah! You little puppy slave! That was the temple built by Yingying's father, Cui Xiangguo. Even the elders were ordained by Cui Xiangguo. Cui Xiangguo passed away. , the coffin is placed here, why can’t it be accommodated?”

"Oh, the husband has not yet married the young lady, but he is already talking to the country of the young lady, Prime Minister Cui!" Qintong laughed and joked.

Zhang Sheng showed a proud look on his face and said: "Hey, it's coming soon, it's coming soon, the little lady will be mine sooner or later!"

"The distance is too far. It's hard to understand how much the husband misses me!" Qin Tong was a little worried. In fact, this sentence actually spoke of his own thoughts. What separated him was himself and the matchmaker, and the one he missed was the matchmaker.

At this moment, only a melodious and long bell was heard, coming from the direction of Pujiu Temple.

Zhang Sheng and Qintong both turned their heads in the direction of the bell. Without saying a word, they listened silently to the deep and distant bell, one after another, quiet and peaceful. The melodious Sanskrit sounds and the long Zen meaning are like words of fate, murmuring softly.

The eyes of Zhang Sheng and Qintong suddenly opened wide, as if they saw their respective lovers in the air.

Zhang Sheng felt that his mind was filled with the fleeting graceful figure of the female Bodhisattva in the Buddhist temple, the refreshing and elegant fragrance, and the melodious whispers, like orchids in the empty valley, softening the heart.

As for Qin Tong, he couldn't help but think of the matchmaker's back as she ran toward Pujiu Temple, and her words: "Sister, I'm waiting to meet you!"

The two of them were like this, silently stunned for a while, until the bell stopped ringing. When the last trace of the sound dispersed, Zhang Sheng opened his mouth softly and chanted: "The bell rings in the middle of the night, and it's hard to sit down and relax."

After listening to it, the piano boy was deeply moved and blurted out: "Yingying is in the water, and the pulse is speechless."

Zhang Sheng couldn't help but look at Qintong, then nodded slightly and said: "Zongdan, you just said that the distance is a bit far, and you are right. I will move to Pujiu Temple early tomorrow morning, so that I can stay with my Yingying." Little lady, stay closer."

"Oh, then I'll pack up and go early tomorrow morning!" Qin Tong also calmed down and said quickly, this way, he can get closer to the matchmaker.

"You dog slave, what are you so anxious about? You look stupid and clumsy, so don't scare the little lady." Zhang Sheng held the edge of the tub with both hands, stood up from the tub, and put a scarf vertically in front of his pubic area. Like a banner declaring glory, it rises slightly and hangs flat, dripping with the bath water it brings out.

Zhang Sheng stretched out his hands and let Qin Tong wipe his body dry with the towel. He stepped out of the tub and without looking at Qin Tong, he covered his mouth and nose and said, "That's right. I've finished washing. You scoop the water into the basin and wipe it yourself." Smell yourself, you smell so fishy!"

"Yes, thank you sir for the reward!" Qin Tong was disgusted in his heart, but he had to show respect on his face and thanked him softly.

After cleaning the bathtub, the hot water used by Zhang Sheng was indeed warm, but Qintong didn't want to use it, so it was all poured out. He walked to the well next to the stable and got water to wash Zhang Sheng's clothes. He also got a bucket of well water, poured it on his head, scrubbed it briefly, took the gold wound medicine, gritted his teeth, and applied it to the wound under his ribs. good.

He undressed again and lay next to the white horse, caressing the horse's belly, feeling the soft breath, and gnawed on the cake, breaking off a piece from time to time and putting it in the palm of his hand. The horse stretched out its head, licked the broken cake in Qintong's hand with its tongue, and ate it, making Qintong chuckle.

"Ma'er, Ma'er, do you think the matchmaker is thinking of me?" Qintong closed his eyes and said softly.

At this time, the matchmaker was thinking about her brother in the west wing. At her hand was the half-finished matchmaker, and beside her was Yingying who was sleeping soundly.

The matchmaker gently twisted a piece of silk thread straight, and passed it through the eye of the embroidery needle with the light of the candle. She couldn't help but think of the wound that Adi had been pierced by a spear in order to save herself. Unknown to Adi, Adi Does it still hurt now? Is the wound closed and scabbed? Also, I wonder, brother, are you also thinking about me, the matchmaker?

Thinking of this, my heart was filled with excitement, my face and body felt hot, my heart was pounding like a deer, I didn't know why I was so flustered. My eyes also felt a little wider, and I couldn't stop blinking frequently. Unknowingly, I put down the red blush and gently touched my cheek. Why are my cheeks so hot? Then he slowly slid it to his shoulder, thinking only, if my brother touches me like this, will I give in or not?

All I thought in my mind was that it was nature, and nature gave in! My life was saved by Adi, and naturally my body belongs to Adi.

Hearing a "嘤咛" sound, he turned around and saw Yingying, arching her back on the bed, her face flushed, her hands roaming around her body, and she murmured: "Langjun, Langjun!"

The matchmaker laughed dumbly and thought to herself: "The spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. Do you think Yingying is missing spring?" Then she thought, "What about me? Am I missing spring too?"

On the roof beam, an incense stick shone with a flickering red light, exuding a refreshing aroma that filled the entire house.
