A scholar becomes a landlord

The people in the government took over the owner of the steamed stuffed bun shop and took away the steamed stuffed stuffed bun, and the onlookers followed him to the Yamen. They wanted to see the result, and if the stuffed stuffed bun shop was really a black-hearted person, they had to remember clearly No, I can no longer come to this shop to buy steamed stuffed buns in the future, but can the other party still come out to sell steamed stuffed buns?

With Wei Le's words, the magistrate of Shuntian Prefecture did not dare to judge the case lightly. After Wu Zuo wrote the steamed stuffed bun and the autopsy results came up, he opened the court to appeal the case and closed the case as quickly as possible.

This is evidenced by witnesses and materials, and the owner of the steamed stuffed bun shop cannot deny it. The magistrate of Shuntian has also earned the reputation of "Master Qingtian" because of the quick conclusion of the case.

After the case was over, the old monk took the little beggar's body and left. He was going to find a place for the poor child to live.

"Master, please go slowly." A man who looked like a butler stopped him, put a package of things in the hands of the old monk, and sent a small coffin by the way.Because it was made temporarily, it was just a small long box with a square shape, just enough to hold the little beggar's body.

"This is?" The old monk put the little beggar in a small coffin and opened the thing wrapped in cloth, which actually contained 100 taels of silver.

"The young master said that the money was not given to the master. He just asked the master to repair the ruined temple and give the beggars a shelter. The rest of the money would buy them some better clothes, and then send them to be apprentices. , anyway, I will have a skill in the future, so I won't be begging on the street."

After speaking, the man who looked like a housekeeper walked into the crowd and left, leaving the old monk watching the 100 taels of silver and reciting the Buddha's name.

"Amitabha, good is good."

This kind man came a step late, if he had met yesterday, the poor little beggar would not have died.

Fortunately, the remaining children survived, and the old monk felt relieved.

Leave with the small coffin containing the little beggar, and go outside the city to find a place with beautiful mountains and green waters to bury him!

"Xiao Le, are you in a bad mood?"

Because of today's incident, the two of them came back early, and even bumped into the teacher's wife, who dragged and questioned them for a while, and then let the two of them leave.

As soon as he returned to Haoran Courtyard, the smile on Wei Le's face faded.

"It's not good, that's for sure. I didn't expect that there are unscrupulous merchants in every dynasty and generation."

Bad meat is nothing, the future chemicals, waste oil, etc. are scary!

This made Wei Xiaole afraid to eat outside for a while, for fear of being accidentally poisoned to death.

"It's also impossible. After all, we can't ask everyone to be a good person, because it's impossible."

Yi Feng patted his back lightly, he knew Xiao Le, he has always been a very soft hearted person.He didn't see the little beggar's death with his own eyes, but the old monk was able to seek justice for him from the owner of the bun shop, so he was a good monk. That's why Xiao Le sent 100 taels of silver afterwards.

As for why not give more, one is that too much will cause people's greed, which is not good for old monks and young beggars; second, I don't want young beggars to develop dependence.

It is better to tell oneself than to rely on others. This is the belief that Wei Le Yijin insists on, and it is also the belief that he teaches to his students.In many cases, you can use your strengths to make use of your strengths, so people still have to rely on themselves most of the time in their lives, even if the opportunities of successful people are created by themselves.

No one can get something for nothing, just like there will never be pies in the sky.As long as the pie falls, you have to think carefully about whether the pie is poisonous.

"I understand, I understand everything, it's just that when something like this happens, as long as the conscience is still there, people will be like me!"

How could Wei Le not understand!Even after a thousand years, such things would still happen one after another, and he couldn't manage it even if he wanted to.As long as it happens, he has the ability to help out!

Little beggar, old monk, if he didn't show up in that place today, the little beggar's death would be in vain, no one would care about the life and death of a little beggar, only the old monk and a few other little beggars Care, but what can they do?Unable to avenge the little beggar, the old monk can only rely on the old monk to tell the truth and prevent the next victim from appearing.

"Yes, we are all the same." Kissing Wei Le's eyes lightly, they are all the same.

Anyone with compassion will feel sorry for the little beggar.

In the evening, when the husband came back, he looked at Wei Le and remained silent for a long time.

"gentlemen?"

I kept silent like this, it was so scary!He even specially called people to the study, even Yi Feng was not allowed to come in.

"I know everything you did today. I'm afraid your teacher's mother will call you to the study if she hears it. Sit down!"

The husband finally spoke, and Wei Le heaved a sigh of relief.

"Zile, how can you be so soft-hearted?"

Since he was crowned, the husband likes to call him by his name, probably because he took the name, so he likes to call it the most.

"I can't take care of other people, but I can take care of them when I meet them. If I can't take care of them, there will always be someone who can take care of them." Wei Le thinks this is the way of a gentleman. Why don't you help if you don't bring yourself any danger? ?

When a disaster hits a place in modern times, everyone pays out their money one after another, so why can't he extend his helping hand when such a tragedy happens.

Maybe others won't care, but the old monk, the living beggars, and the dead beggars will care about this justice.

"Although your soft heart makes me very worried, I still want to praise you as a teacher. You have done a good job." The husband had a gratified smile on his face. With such a disciple, he still has nothing to be dissatisfied with.

"A gentleman does something and doesn't do it. If you know what you can do and don't do it, you know what you can't do and don't do it. This is the way of a gentleman's doing and not doing it! This is the word of a sage. You have said it before, sir. , the disciple has always kept it in his heart."

Although Wei Le helps others, he will not put himself into it. This is his code of conduct, and he has always planned to implement it like this.

"Just remember, as a teacher, I'm really afraid that you will forget yourself in order to save others."

With Wei Le's words, the husband is really relieved.

"No, I still have to accompany Brother Feng till the end of my life, and I have to throw pots at Mr. and Mrs. Shi's wife, so I won't risk my life! Sir, don't worry!"

Speaking of being stared at when he threw the basin, Wei Le said that it didn't hurt or itch.

"Can't you talk more seriously?"

Who would say in front of the elders that they will throw basins at them in the future.

"The one who is more taboo about death will die early. This is to make you and your teacher and wife live longer." Wei Le made a lot of nonsense, but he really wasn't talking nonsense.He has seen many old people who are very open about the year of life and death, but in the end they live to an octogenarian age and are not as energetic as a young man.

And some old people who are always afraid of death, and even forbid their relatives and friends to say death, end up getting sick when they live to be in their sixties, and die soon after.

Wei Le's grandpa was also open-minded, but unfortunately, because he was exhausted when he was young, he barely lived to seventy and passed away due to illness, which made Wei Le very regretful.Influenced by his grandparents, although he cares about life and death, he is not afraid, and usually jokes, so there are no taboos.

"..." When Wei Le said this, he turned into a gentleman without reason.

"Get out."

Turned into anger from embarrassment, he chased people away.

"Bang~~"

The door behind him was closed, and Wei Le escaped in embarrassment.

"Xiao Le?"

Yi Feng stood guard outside and caught him just in time.

"My husband is furious!" Looking back at the closed door, he must go to the teacher's wife to put shoes on for his husband.

Actually driving him out, it's no different from sweeping the floor out of the house, how can anyone treat his only disciple like this?Do you want me to throw you a pot in the future?

You must wear small shoes, otherwise you will miss a bowl of dinner tonight.

"Pfft, it's okay. Go back and find my teacher's wife, sir is afraid of her."

Yi Feng advises Wei Le, how can he drive his own Xiao Le out!How obedient is Xiao Le in his family, and he even said that he would throw pots at his husband and wife in the future. Where can I find such an obedient disciple?

As expected of a husband and wife, the brainwaves of the two were synchronized unknowingly, and their thoughts were similar.

"it is good."

Wei Lexiong went to ask his teacher's wife to put some shoes on for his husband.

While eating, Mr. looked at the carrots in front of him.Staring at Wei Le, carrots are the last thing he likes to eat.It is certain that this disciple has sued his wife, that's why the wife puts his least favorite dish in front of him.

"Eat." The teacher's wife smiled very gently, but the more gentle she was, the more frightening she was.

So the husband was crying in his heart, and he ate all the stir-fried shredded carrots in aggrieved manner.

"Eating carrots is good for your health, sir, you should eat them even if you see Brother Feng."

Wei Le put the whole bigger plate on Yi Feng's bowl, and he ate it all up in big gulps.

"You see Feng'er is not picky eaters, but you are picky at your age." The teacher took the opportunity to teach her husband, how can he be picky eaters!Xiao Le said that eating carrots is good for your health.In the past, because he, the head of the family, didn't like it, the family seldom bought it, but now it doesn't work, and he has to eat a little every day.

The husband didn't know that he would have to eat carrots in the future, and he was still thinking that fortunately he only ate a small plate. If it was replaced by the large plate in front of Yi Feng, he would not be able to eat it after the meal.He has no objection to letting him eat carrots, but if you let him eat carrots, the husband has a lot of opinions, but today he was suppressed by his wife.

"I'll eat it too." Wei Le didn't dislike it, and also picked up a big chopstick, it's very good to eat with rice!

"You don't count."

The gentleman said angrily, I really don't understand how this kid can eat so deliciously, and the taste of carrots is so strange.

"...Why don't I forget it? Since you don't eat it, why do you want to drink the soup that you stewed in the country last time?"

Wei Le complained about his husband.

"...It was soup, and I didn't eat it."

The husband is upset, and feels ashamed to be exposed by his own disciples.To be honest, the fried carrot tasted weird, but the stewed soup was delicious, with a little bit of sweetness, and the fresh corn and pork ribs from Zhuangzi were stewed together. The soup tasted very sweet and delicious. He drank several large bowls.

"You are making too much sense." The teacher's wife subdued the husband with one word, so that he never dared to argue with the disciple again.

Wei Le, who won, made a funny face at his husband, and the rice was delicious with carrots mixed in it.

After one meal, Wei Le managed to get his husband to wear small shoes, and also tricked him into eating a small dish of carrots every day, so angry that he would stare at his beloved little apprentice every meal in the following days .

"He doesn't make sense. This carrot is really a good thing. He actually stares at me every day for this."

Wei Le and his wife complained that the husband is really getting older and younger, and now his behavior is the same as that of a child after being punished by everyone, which is really childish.

Of course, he didn't dare to say this in front of his husband, he would have to chase him all over the yard.

"Okay, okay, you cheated Mr. too, didn't you? You have to eat something you don't like every day, can you bear it?"

Yi Feng comforted him, and used himself as an example.

"...What you said makes sense, I agree." Indeed, let him eat food he doesn't like every day, probably his reaction is bigger than that of his husband.

Now Wei Le is very conflicted, should he persuade his wife not to let him eat it every day, and let him eat it every now and then, I don't know if it will work?

"Even if you don't tell me, I will do it. These days, I just want your husband to remember the lesson and stop being picky eaters. Now that he is getting older, Wei Fan has come to give him his pulse this time and said that the old man should eat more light food. A little bit of food, he likes a bite of meat, and he doesn’t like to eat bland food because it’s tasteless. Didn’t you also say that eating a little bland food at our age is good for our health? But he didn’t listen, and almost killed me.”

After the teacher's wife explained, Wei Le knew that the husband was punished this time not only because of his complaint, but also for this reason!

"That's right, the older you get, the more clearly you have to eat, otherwise you will get sick easily when you get old, and all kinds of diseases will come, and many diseases can't be cured, so you really need to control the food, don't eat something with heavy taste. food, he is not young."

Wei Le knows that the elderly are prone to high blood pressure and other diseases, and Wei Fan also said that at their age, it is better to eat light food in the end, this is the way to maintain health.

Mr. read a lot of books may not be ignorant, but his sense of taste gradually deteriorates as he gets older, so he wants to eat something with a strong taste, otherwise he would feel that his mouth would be tasteless if he only eats green vegetables.

But people can't be so self-willed, so my husband was happy when he saw that there were no carrots on the table, but when he saw that there were only fish and two plates of thin meat on the table, his face fell down again!

The fish is steamed, and the lean meat is fried with vegetables. The taste is very light.

"Have a meal."

At the order of the teacher's wife, the husband has to eat if he doesn't eat.

"Sir, there is still meat on the table now. If you don't like it any more, and there is no meat on the table, what will you do?"

Wei Le kindly reminded him that at least it still tasted like meat, if the teacher's wife directly replaced it with vegetarian dishes, the husband would probably cry.

After being reminded by the disciples, the master came back to his aftertaste.That's right, if he still disliked that there was no meat on the table, he should be crying.

So this meal, Mr.'s chopsticks frequently stretched towards the two dishes of fish and lean meat. At last, the teacher's wife did not stop him from eating. It is not good for Mr. to eat this meal!

After Wei Le and Yi Feng finished their meal, they returned to Haoran Courtyard and ate another portion.The teacher's wife knows that if two young people accompany them to eat like this, the old people will definitely not eat like this, and they will lose their strength.So someone made another one and sent it to Haoran Courtyard, and this one has more meat dishes, all of which Wei Le and Yi Feng like to eat.However, since it was night, only less greasy food such as steamed meat and steamed ribs were served.

Because nothing good happened last time when he went to the street, Wei Le didn't go out for a few days, this time Yi Feng didn't have time to take him out, he entertained some old people because of Yi's house, Wei Le didn't get along with those people because he didn't know them well go back.

"I'm a literati, they must feel uncomfortable sitting there, you can go back alone!"

So Yi Feng went back alone, but it was rumored in the capital that this retired general had a good relationship with Lord Liu's disciple, the two often had long talks, even staying at Liu's residence at night.

Because of this relationship, everyone's attitude towards Yi Feng has also changed. No matter what his previous identity is now or what his current identity is, as long as he and Wei Le have a good relationship, the other party will be his help. It is not wrong to offend people what a good thing.I didn't see someone celebrating their birthday, but the emperor even asked his own prince to come to deliver the birthday gift in person.

Of course, everyone misunderstood that Master Liu was in the emperor's heart, but they didn't know that the reason why the third prince came to the door was because Wei Le had a half-teacher friendship with him, so he should come to the door.

"Master, there are several masters outside the door asking to see you."

Butler Xiaojin stood outside the door and reported.

Could it be that the butler Jin and the old butler Jin pushed the matter to their sons and grandsons? The father and son went out for a walk, and they haven't seen each other for a long time. They also need to cultivate the relationship between father and son, and let Butler Jin do his filial piety by the way.

"Master? You lead the masters to the lobby of the front yard, and I will go right away."

Wei Le was practicing calligraphy, when he heard the words of Butler Xiao Jin, he immediately understood that it was Grandpa and the others who came to the door.He wiped his hands with the hot towel handed by the maid, changed into a more formal outfit, and then headed to the lobby of the front yard.

"Xiao Wei, come in quickly, look who is here." The teacher's wife was already entertaining the host and others, and it was the first time she had met Wei Le's uncle and brothers.

"Grandpa, uncle, brother, you are finally here. Who is this?"

As soon as Wei Le entered the door, before he had time to be happy, he saw a familiar old monk sitting next to the host. Although he looked familiar, how did the other party know his grandfather?The monk's robes on his body were replaced with those of his grandfather, the only difference was that he didn't have a red cassock, but he had a white cassock.

"Xiao Le, this is your senior uncle, and also the old monk's brother Awakened Master, hurry up and meet your senior uncle."

When the host saw his grandson, he waved to him, wanting to introduce his brother to his grandson.

If there is a seam on the ground, Wei Le will definitely get in, and now he can't wait to hide his face.

"Wei Le has met Uncle Grandpa, but he didn't expect you to be Grandpa's Senior Brother."

Wei Le smiled wryly, he didn't know him when we met a few days ago, and even asked someone to give him 100 taels of silver in private, to see how the other party looks like a shotgun for a cannon, he doesn't look like someone who is short of money.

"Xiao Le don't have to be embarrassed. The money you gave at that time really helped the poor monk. Although the poor monk came from the Golden Buddha Temple, he has been wandering outside and hasn't been back for almost ten years. The beggars have found a way out, and they have agreed to be adopted by the Golden Buddha Temple as monks."

Although there is less freedom in the temple, there is no need to worry about living without enough food and clothing, not to mention the constant worry that one day one's own life may be lost.

"Xiao Le is very happy to be able to help Master Uncle. It's a pity that I didn't recognize you at the time, otherwise..."

It wouldn't let the old monk be almost bullied, and let him bury his body at such an old age.

"Xiao Le just met the poor monk's younger brother. I don't know that the poor monk is normal. Besides, the poor monk hasn't gone back for ten years. You don't have to worry about it, Xiao Le. As for the 100 taels of silver you gave the poor monk, I won't return it. Is it good for you to give to poor monks?"

Uncle Shi smiled slightly, which was quite a bit of what the Buddhists said about smiling with flowers.

"Master uncle thinks it's okay, if it's not enough, you can tell Xiao Le."

Of course Wei Le is fine, but the host and the seniors and uncles at the side listened to the conversation between the two in amazement, when did Xiao Le meet the uncle (uncle master)?

As soon as the teacher's wife heard it, she knew that this old monk was the old monk Xiao Le met a few days ago!

"Xiao Le, shouldn't you explain the confusion to the old monk and your brothers and sisters!"

As I said before, the host can’t see everything. For example, his senior brother’s cultivation level is still higher than his. Don't come out and embarrass yourself.

Of course, this is just an idea in his heart, and people in the entire Buddhist world will not agree. There are only a handful of people in this world who can surpass Master Jueyuan in Dharma practice, and there are only a few people who can make him invisible, so his Buddha The status and reputation in the world are still not low, but Master Jue Yuan has always been low-key and not too pushy, only some old people know his identity and status.

After Wei Le told the story, the host, uncle and brothers suddenly realized.

"Amitabha, it turns out that Xiao Le is the benevolent donor that the senior brother said!"

The abbot clasped his hands together, and his disciples and disciples also responded in the same way.

"What? Speaking of me?"

Wei Le sat next to Grandpa after meeting his uncle Grandpa, and he was not curious to hear what Grandpa said.

"Yeah, you don't know that senior brother praised you again and again, but I didn't expect it to be my family hahaha..."

The host laughed, it was rare to see him let go like this, probably because his senior brother was by his side!

"You! But the poor monk really didn't expect that the benevolent benefactor who met once in the past would be the grandson of the younger brother, Amitabha~ What a fate."

Master Awakening recited a Buddha's name, no wonder he could see the fate with himself from the face of the other party, but he didn't know where the fate was.But it can be seen that his fate does not come from himself, it should be related to the people around him.It's just that he's not good at fortune-telling, and he can't predict some things like his younger brother. It wasn't until today that he figured out where this fate came from.

Going out of the city to bury the little beggar, he met his younger brother by accident, which made Master Awakening very happy. Today, when he said he wanted to see his younger brother's grandson, he followed him, wanting to meet this grandson who was full of praise from his younger brother.

"..." It's quite a fate, helping others to help one's master uncle, this kind of fate is really not shallow.

The teacher's wife left after staying for a while. After all, she was a housewife. Even a monk had to avoid suspicion, so he asked Wei Le to entertain his grandfather and others. Anyway, Wei Le's identity was sufficient and his relationship was very close.In contrast, it's not very convenient for her to be here. It's better to go back to the backyard and arrange the residences of several masters, and let the kitchen tidy up a table of vegetarian dishes by the way.

Arrange for a few people to live in the front yard. When all the people come, they can't just sit down and leave. He still has things in his grandfather's place, so he has to come back as soon as possible.
