I'm watching the gate in the jail
Chapter 21
According to Gao Hui's wishes, he wished that the next morning, he would lead a large team to copy the "Forgetting Me Pavilion" and rescue the mother and daughter of the Song family.
"No, no, it can't be done like this."
Deng Xiang shook his head again and again, resolutely disagreeing with this.
If he hadn't been this kid's old boss for many years and had some prestige in his mind, Gao Hui would probably beat him up in a hurry.
"There are too many yamen involved in this matter. Look, let me first say that although the "Forgetting Me Pavilion" is located in the western boundary of the city, it is not only under the control of Tianfu. If it is a government-run business, it will involve Jiaofang Division. Jiaofang The department is under the Ministry of Rites."
Deng Xiang settled the score for him with his fingers.
"They lived in the Temple of Mercy before, and there was no news of them after they left the Temple of Mercy. It stands to reason that if they want to investigate, they have to go to the Temple of Mercy for questioning. Since the Taizu, all monks, nuns and lamas have returned to the "monk" Under the jurisdiction of the Record Division, the Mercy Nunnery is naturally in charge of the 'Monk Gang Division' from Shuntian Prefecture."
As the saying goes, "Monks and vulgars are different." Zhu Yuanzhang was a monk before he won the world, and he knows the many ways in this temple and the influence of the monks.
So in the early days of the Ming Dynasty, when everything in the country was in ruins, Emperor Hongwu established the "Shanshiyuan" to lead the monks and nuns in the world, which was also under the Ministry of Rites.
After Hongwu's 15-year reform, Zhu Yuanzhang withdrew the original "Shanshiyuan" and established the "Senglu Division" and "Daolu Division" in Beijing to manage Buddhist and Taoist temples respectively.
Under the Senglu Division, there are left and right palm prints, left and right explanations, left and right lectures, and left and right enlightenment.Among them, if the monks and nuns commit crimes, the left and right Jueyi will punish them themselves.
In fact, at the local level, the government has a "Seng Gang Division", the state has a "Seng Zheng Division", and the county has a "Seng Hui Division".
The monks and nuns in Beijing and the surrounding areas are all under the jurisdiction of Du Gang, the monk gang division of Shuntian Prefecture.
Isn't this a coincidence, no matter whether the former is a brothel, the latter is a nunnery, or a lay monk, they are all under the rule of the Ministry of Rites.
If this happened in other places in the capital, it would naturally fall under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture.Then Jin Yiwei Yamen, who is the admiral of the Five Armies of Shuntian Mansion, can directly intervene.Just like the fake bank case last time, that's it.
And these two... If Jin Yiwei wanted to take care of them, he would have to find sufficient evidence and submit it to His Majesty, and then His Majesty would issue a "driving note" before they could search and arrest people.
In fact, this kind of thing happened in the Yongle Dynasty or the early days of the Tianshun Dynasty.In order to handle the case, Jin Yiwei broke into the mountain gate and copied the brothel, who would dare to say more?
It is indeed a little shameful to say it.
Firstly, in today's world, there is no plan to give them such power at all.Secondly, Xu Bin, the current minister of the Ministry of Rites, is also a veteran minister who participated in the former emperor's "Change of Seizing the Gate". Today's young emperor Zhu Jianshen respects him very much.
The most important thing is that this Xu Shangshu has a heroic personality and a wide range of friends. Although he is in a high position and in charge of a department that represents the face of the country, he is not a pedantic old gentleman. He has a very good relationship with Commander Yuan .
Good ones were even impeached by the gossip officer Uemoto.Saying that he is a dignified minister, and he is actually in the same rank as Jin Yiwei, which is insulting to the gentleman... This made Commander Yuan feel embarrassed, feeling ashamed of his friend, and took the initiative to avoid suspicion.
Anyway, this person can't move, if he messes around casually, if he offends Commander Yuan and His Majesty first, then the gain will outweigh the loss.
"Yang Qianhu, is it difficult for Beizhen Fusi to intervene in this case?"
Seeing Gao Hui's depressed expression, Wanda asked worriedly.
"That depends on how many people will be involved in this case, and will it lead to a big case... Have you forgotten that the fake bank case was just a street scam at the beginning?"
Yang Xiuxian frowned slightly.
Such a small case is nothing more than abducting and selling women and forcing women into prostitution, so there is no need to dispatch Jin Yiwei.Is it because Gao Hui has been their colleague for many years, and now they are thousands of followers, so they will ask one more question...
Wait, what if this case can be passed and Mr. Wan's "urgent need" can be solved?
Yang Xiuxian thought about it.
He motioned for everyone to gather around, explaining his plan in such a general way.
"It makes sense... A brothel like 'Forget Me Pavilion' must be making money every day. If they really abducted and sold women from good families and copied them, it would be considered a victory for the 'sweeping pornographic and illegal activities' in the early spring of this year!"
Wanda was excited.
"'Forget Me Pavilion' is making money every day? No, no..."
Deng Xiang shook his index finger disdainfully, "The one who really 'makes money every day' is probably the 'Compassion Nunnery'."
"Master Deng! This is too much."
Wanda looked at him dissatisfied, "Don't you still want to get money from the nunnery? Isn't this the same as taking food from beggars?"
"beggar?"
Hearing Wanda describe the nuns in such a way, Yang Xiuxian couldn't help turning his head and staring at him for a while.
"Lord Wan, don't you have any women in your family who believe in Buddhism?"
"Sister-in-law?"
Wanda recalled the past ten years of getting along with Zhang, and indeed never saw her praying to God and worshiping Buddha.
"Never."
Not to mention after entering Beijing, even in Bazhou, neighbors and aunts would meet to go to the temple to offer incense, and her sister-in-law had never been there.
"That's really rare."
Deng Xiang was amazed.
The spiritual life of the people in the Ming Dynasty was very rich, and most of the people believed in Buddhism and Taoism. Temples and Taoist temples were densely distributed in the capital. Basically, there were at least ten to twenty temples in a city.There are even sects that are spreading in private and have many believers, which is a headache for the emperors of all dynasties.
Zhu Yuanzhang was a monk for a period of time before he became the king of the world, but the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were more superstitious about Taoism.
In contrast, the common people believe more in Buddha Jialan.
Every time it comes to the Buddha Bathing Festival, the day when Avalokitesvara is enlightened, or the birthday of a heavenly official, the whole city is basically bathed in a religious carnival atmosphere.
If there are big festivals like Shangyuan, Zhongyuan, and Mid-Autumn Festival, there will be various rewarding gods and competitions.
Not only folks, but even government offices will participate.It is said that some yamen are well managed and can make a fortune from it.
At that time, there will be believers and onlookers on both sides of the street, looking at the miraculous sedan chair, setting off firecrackers, and making lanterns, which can last from morning to midnight.
Basically, all the people participate, and the whole city is lively.
Not only the temples in the folk and the palace, but also the official offices of the Ming Dynasty also enshrined various statues of gods.
For example, Dongchang enshrines Yue Fei, the king of Yue who served the country faithfully, Shangshanjian enshrines the Stove Lord, and even the grassroots writers offer incense to "Cang Ye" every day—the Cang Ye is also the god of word creation, Cangjie!
And in their Beizhen Fusi yamen, the person enshrined every day is Guan Erye, Guan Yu, who holds the Qinglongyanyue knife.After lighting the candle every day, many people will habitually put incense sticks on the second master, praying for safety, before going out to patrol the streets.
"My family was very poor before, and I relied on my sister-in-law to manage the family. Because my family was exiled into the army, my father and brother only had such a salary every month, but there were three men who had to eat. When they got married, they bought furniture for the eldest brother to marry. And banquets, the family even spent a lot of money, owed a lot of money, and did not pay it off until five or six years after my sister-in-law came in. Later, when I was 13 years old and went to work in a hotel, there was no one in the family. Gu, just take it easy."
Wanda scratched her head in embarrassment.
"Don't talk about going to temples to offer incense. When my family was the poorest, even the money for buying yellow paper on Qingming Festival was paid by the neighbors next door. My sister-in-law had to pay for the laundry."
When Wanda was a child, she really grew up "eating military camp meals and wearing a hundred clothes", and she was so poor that she felt sad.
As a son of an official, Yang Xiuxian couldn't imagine what kind of life it was like, and looked at him with distressed eyes.
"Then, my lord, doesn't your family still enshrine Buddha statues?"
Deng Xiang interjected curiously.
"My family only enshrines the ancestral tablet, and there is also the tablet of 'Heaven, Earth, Monarch, Parent and Teacher'."
Wanda shook his head, then laughed twice, "It seems that he doesn't go to worship every day except for New Year's and festivals."
Burning incense during festivals is also a occasion, not even "holding Buddha's feet temporarily".
Looking at it this way, Wanjia can be regarded as a wonderful flower in the Ming Dynasty.
"Then it's no wonder my lord doesn't know. This temple, nunnery and Taoist temple are the most profitable places in the world!"
When Deng Xiang said this, his face was full of grief.
The lady of Deng Xiang's family spent an incredible amount of money on burning incense and kowtow every year.
Needless to say, the statues of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and God of Wealth brought from famous mountain and treasure temples are offered at home.On the fifteenth day of the lunar new year, you must go to the temple in the city to burn incense.
Not only that, she doesn't miss any of the Niangniang Temple, Grandma Temple, and Grandma Temple.Giving alms, asking for scriptures, asking for incense, Bon Festival, parents sacrifice, all are expenses.
Sometimes I don't feel well, and it's fine if the medicine doesn't taste good, and I still listen to the nonsense of those aunts, and spend a lot of money to buy some Laoshizifu water to drink.
It's fate if you don't drink to death.
"Last year, on the day of my mother's death, I invited a group of nuns and a group of Taoist nuns to recite sutras for her at home. It took three days in total to build a shed and decorate the hall. Those people had to eat again, and they went in back and forth. It's ten taels of silver! So, the old man probably doesn't know whose family my mother is in the West Paradise."
Deng Xiang shook his head, "Not long after the anniversary of the death, she and her little sister met again to burn incense at the Tanzhe Temple in Xishan. In time, she donated gold to the Buddha statues in the temple to do meritorious deeds. Without further ado, she donated another ten taels. My lord, How much is my monthly salary for this month? I can afford her expenses!"
"It makes sense..."
Wanda nodded, then looked at Deng Xiang suspiciously, "Then where did Mrs. Deng get the money to afford such an expense?"
"Cough cough..."
"Mr. Deng? What's the matter with you?"
Almost revealing Jin Yiwei's embezzlement of property and extortion of the prisoner's family, Deng Xiang coughed dryly and his face turned purple.
Gao Hui silently turned his head away.
Deng Xiang had no choice but to wink wildly at Yang Xiuxian and prayed all over his face.
"My lord, what Deng Zongqi means is that not only are the monks and nuns in those temples not poor, but they are also very rich. Especially in the big temples with strong incense, the income of the whole temple in the next year may be equivalent to that of an ordinary small county government." annual income."
Seeing that Deng Xiang's eyes were about to blink, Yang Xiuxian had no choice but to stand up and make a rescue.
"If the mother and daughter were really abducted into the 'Forget Me Pavilion', after we investigate clearly and have the evidence, we may not be able to use it as a raft and 'evil eat black'."
Yang Xiuxian raised his head, under the two lowered eyebrows, a calculating light flashed in the long and narrow eyes.
Looking at the smile on the corner of his blood red mouth, Wanda suddenly felt a little shudder.
"You guys, aren't you afraid of retribution from the Yin Division? Isn't this...isn't it 'slandering monks and Taoism'?"
Aren’t you ancient people very superstitious? Why do you now look more scientific and serious than me, a socialist successor who has gone through nine years of compulsory education?
"I just want Mrs. Song's mother and daughter to be safe, no matter the method."
Gao Hui said bluntly.
"I'm not my mother-in-law. Mr. Deng only believes in Second Master Guan, Marquis of Han Shouting."
Deng Xiang said indifferently.
"In Yang's heart, there is only His Majesty."
As Yang Xiuxian said, he showed an expression of "looking up to the sky and bowing down to the ground".
He glanced at the thousands of households who had nothing to say, and added in his heart: there may be His Majesty's brother-in-law.
On the side of the "Forget Me Pavilion", Deng Xiang asked Dongcheng Bingmasi to keep an eye on their personnel going in and out during this period, and report to him immediately if there is any change.
As for the Temple of Mercy, it will be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in a few days, and the Temple of Mercy will hold a New Year's Lantern Festival and a temple fair in the open space in front of the temple.Even if a few of them went in, it wouldn't arouse suspicion.
"Yang Qianhu, we agreed to handle the case together, why are you and I the only ones?"
Wearing fluffy earmuffs on her ears, a hood on her head, and her hands in her pockets, Wanda, who is dressed in red and white, is very festive in her outfit today, as if the good fortune boy next to the Goddess of Mercy has walked away from a New Year picture It seems to come down.The girls and daughters-in-law who came and went at the temple fair couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
According to the agreement, today Wanda did not go to the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, but sat directly on Xiaohei all the way to the south, left the Zhengyang Gate and went west, and came to this small hill south of the black kiln factory outside the west of the city.
Although it is a warm winter this year, walking around the city will cause you to sweat a little on weekdays, but when you arrive in the suburbs, the northwest wind blows and you are still shy.
"Where's Deng Zongqi? Where's Gaohui? Where's Xiaoqiu?"
Wanda looked around and saw no one except Yang Xiuxian.
Today Yang Qianhu didn't ride his "Blizzard", but ordered his servants to drive a carriage.The carriage was parked in a large square by the lake, surrounded by BMW incense carts, it seems that there are quite a few rich people who specially came to the temple to offer incense today.
Yang Xiuxian took Xiao Hei from Wanda's hand, brought it to his carriage, and tied it together.
Wanda looked towards the lake on tiptoe, only to see a thick layer of ice on the surface of the lake, which reflected the dazzling light under the sunlight, just like the Nine Heavens Xuannv broke a glass cup, pouring gems and stones all over the ground. Zhu Yuer.
"Today is the Lantern Festival, and there is also a lantern festival in the city. When there are too many people, there will be accidents, such as stealing things, abducting children, losing female relatives, and even catching fire. Various problems emerge one after another. At this time in previous years, Jin Yiwei will help patrol, It will take three full days and three nights of work, and there are not enough people. Deng Zongqi has already dragged your Gaohui to patrol."
Yang Xiuxian explained with a smile.
In ancient times, this Lantern Festival was even more lively than New Year's Eve, otherwise how can we say "celebrate" the Spring Festival and "make" the Lantern Festival.The beauty lies in the word "noisy".
This day can be said to be a national carnival, all night long, and the officials and the people have fun together.
Layer upon layer of lampstands have long been set up in the imperial city, with lanterns of different colors on them, all ingenious, colorful and dazzling.The largest lampstand among them was named "Aoshan Lantern Festival" because of its resemblance to Lao Ao.
According to the rules passed down from the Yongle period, this carnival will last for three full days, and the entire capital will no longer be banned, immersed in endless lights, food and fireworks for a long time.
And women who seldom go to the streets on weekdays can also leave the closed boudoir in these few days and meet to play in the streets.Take a look at this dazzling streamer, the prosperity of the age.At that time, the whole street will be covered with carved BMW cars, the jade pot will turn brightly, and the phoenix flute will sound.
Yang Xiuxian also wore a thick jacket today, dressed like a warrior.A Hufeng leather belt is tied around the waist.
However, he has a good figure, and he doesn't look bloated at all. On the contrary, he looks even more magnificent, which makes Wanda envious.
Speaking of which, since entering Beijing, Wanda has supplemented calcium with a glass of fresh milk every morning and evening, and it doesn't necessarily mean that it has grown much taller.
Thinking about it, Wan Xinghai grew to 1.7 meters five in his "previous life".Now this body is just over 1.7 meters, which is about equal to a third-level disability...
The height problem is Wanda's biggest weakness after it became rich overnight.
"What about Xiao Qiu?"
Qiu Zijin didn't need to patrol the streets, and their Guozijian officially resumed classes tomorrow.
"My lord, are you very unwilling to handle the case alone with your subordinates? Why do you always ask questions?"
Suddenly, Yang Xiuxian lowered his head suddenly, and brought that handsome face like a jade in front of Wanda.
"Do you think that without those few people, the case cannot be handled with just two subordinates and adults?"
The corners of the slender eyes are slightly lowered, and there is playfulness, probing, and teasing in the eyes.
The thin red lips are raised up, seemingly casually, but faintly deliberately let you see his three-point calculation.
Jade Face Yama.
These four words suddenly flashed in Wanda's mind.
Flower-like appearance, thunderbolt skills.Just being squinted one more time with both eyes, I am afraid that the soul will be hooked into the sky.
Wanda's hands were stuffed in his hands, his eyes wandered from side to side, trying to avoid his aggressive gaze.
Hurry up and stop exuding your damn charm, I can't stand the temptation.
Unconsciously, Wanda swallowed heavily, cursing inwardly.
"Mom, what are these two brothers doing?"
A little girl with candied haws in her hand happened to see this scene and shook her mother's sleeve curiously.
"This is obviously a robbery... Hey! Now the order of the temple fair is getting more and more chaotic, and there are still such things in broad daylight. The government doesn't know how to send more people! Go, go, don't eat! Otherwise, it will be a while The thief stole your candy."
Seeing the strange behavior of these two people, her mother thought that one of them was a tall and powerful martial artist, and the other was a weak and helpless son. She thought that her daughter had accidentally witnessed a street blackmail case.
Adhering to the attitude that one thing more is worse than one thing less, the young woman picked up her daughter and left quickly.
"..."
The two Daming civil servants who had listened to their entire conversation turned their heads away in embarrassment, and finally returned to normal.
"Isn't Qiu Jiansheng about to end the competition this year? Today, he was dragged to the Confucius Temple by his classmates to pray for blessings."
The Confucian Temple is next to the Guozijian. According to the customs of previous years, today it should be crowded with scholars from all walks of life.Although Confucius and his elders said: "If you don't talk, you will be strange and confused."But it doesn't prevent his disciples and grandchildren from hugging his thigh when they come.
There was unconcealable excitement in Yang Xiuxian's tone.
"After this month, his 'calendar' will be over, and he will start preparing for the imperial examination wholeheartedly. It should not be possible to come to the Jinyiwei Yamen in the future."
That's good too, so that he won't have to report to Commander Yuan that "Idlers should not enter".
Could it be that seeing Yang Xiuxian so cheerful, Wanda couldn't help but look at him more.
I thought to myself, could it be that Mr. Yang is not fair because what Qiu Jian eats is the public funds of the Jinyiwei Yamen?That's too petty...
The outside of the mountain gate is lively, and the inside of the mountain gate is also full of jubilation.
Come in from the Tianwang Hall, pass the Bell and Drum Tower all the way, and come to the gate of the Daxiong Hall.Wherever he went, there were crowds of people, people pushing people, and some people holding lit incense sticks around to worship, accidentally burning other people's clothes.
So the scolding outside and the Buddhist music playing in the hall mixed together, making people's brains hurt.
It was the first time in Wanda's life to visit a temple fair, and there was going to be a stampede in front of him, so he couldn't help leaning towards Yang Xiuxian.
The guy is tall and big and still feels safe around him.
Yang Xiuxian lowered his head, just in time to see the little red pinch on Wanda's velvet hat, trembling, couldn't help stretching out his hand to pinch it.Seeing that Wanda didn't respond, he tentatively wrapped his arms around his shoulders.
This heartless kid was watching the fun, and didn't notice it at all.
When I found out, I felt that this was just a normal interaction between male friends, so I didn't struggle, so I followed the flow of people and moved into the Daxiong Hall little by little.
Someone showed a triumphant smile.
Because this is a nunnery, most of the pilgrims are women.As soon as the two young men appeared, they attracted the attention of almost all the people present.
The young girl and her sisters-in-law were so ashamed that they hurriedly covered their heads with their clothes, only daring to secretly look at these two beautiful boys through the gaps in the clothes.
And the elderly aunts and mother-in-laws looked at them openly and generously, not only pointing, but also tasting each other with a smile.
She said this is handsome, Yi said that is pretty, it is really the right time to come to see the lantern today, and you can see the boy in the painting.
Hundreds of gazes were cast on him at the same time, and even Wanda, who claimed to be extremely thick-skinned, was also blushed by these aunts.
Glancing again at Yang Xiuxian, who was leisurely and contented, counting Arhats as if strolling in a garden, Wanda thought to himself that this "authentic" Jin Yiwei has a thick skin, black and thick!
"Amitabha. The two Tanyues, poor nuns are polite."
Seeing that the group of Tanyue women were looking at "men" instead of "Buddha sons", two nuns in their forties, wearing large bluish-gray monk robes and dark monk hats, hurried over from the side hall. Facing Wanda and Yang Xiuxian, the two clasped their hands together and saluted.
Wanda and Yang Xiuxian also respectfully returned their Namaste.
"You two, Tanyue, although the Buddhist school is a place where the door of convenience is wide open, there should be no difference between men and women. But you two have also seen that most of the nunneries are female donors, and there are still many people who offer incense in the Daxiong Hall. It’s inconvenient, why don’t you follow the poor nun to the inner hall to burn incense?”
The speaker was a bhikkhuni with a dignified face and dark skin.
"It should be so."
Yang Xiuxian replied "follow the good".
"Two, this way please."
Another slightly younger nun took half a step back, lowered her eyebrows and spoke calmly, without even looking at them.
Wanda and Yang Xiuxian looked at each other, and they both saw the excited look in each other's eyes.
"Master, please lead the way."
The two followed the nun to the back of the Eighteen Arhats and walked into the side hall.
The excited female pilgrims all around let out a sigh, and the two nuns leading the way stopped in their footsteps.
The girls withdrew their rippling gazes in a sense of loss.A few more bold ones stood on tiptoe and frequently looked in the direction where the two young men left...
Pass through the side hall, and then through a veranda, and finally come to a three-frame room.
Wanda looked up and looked at the plaque on the door, it was a stone plaque with the words "eliminating falsehoods" written on it.The brushwork is ancient and clumsy, and it is quite skillful.
As soon as he entered the house, Wanda couldn't help but stop and turned to look at Yang Xiuxian.
The latter also frowned slightly.
No one else, just because as soon as he entered the door, he saw a white-clothed Avalokitesvara on the painting in the middle of the lobby, facing the door.
It's Avalokitesvara in white again!
Unlike Wanda, although Yang Xiuxian himself disdains the theory of ghosts and gods, he can't escape the customs at home. He set up a Buddhist altar in a quiet corner of his home to worship the God of Wealth.There is also a portrait of Guanyin on the wall. The housekeeper Yang Bo and his wife will clean and burn incense every day.
After all, Yang Xiuxian was also born in a family of officials. Although he was a royal guard, he did some research on calligraphy, gold and stone, and painting, and he also knew a thing or two about the teachings of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism.
Although it is also a statue of Avalokitesvara in white, the one in "Forgetting Me Pavilion" is Shuiyue Avalokitesvara.
The water moon is one of the 33 dharmakayas of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.Sitting cross-legged in the lotus position, holding the flower in one hand and hanging on the knee with the other, looking down at the moon in the water.
The portrait of Avalokitesvara in front of me is actually "Willow Avalokitesvara".It is also one of the most common Dharma bodies of Guanyin Bodhisattva among the people, with the fearless seal in the left hand, willow branches in the right hand, and the white clothes dragging down, to save the world.
Although the dharmakaya of these two paintings of Guanyin are different, Yang Xiuxian immediately judged that based on the way the two paintings are drawn, especially the subtle treatment of the wrinkles of the clothes and the wreaths, they are definitely from the same person Under the pen.
The key is the signing... The small red seal on the lower right corner is not the usual painter's name or hall number, but a graceful water lily.
That day in the "Forgetting Me Pavilion", he just thought the inscribed seal was very interesting, so he took a second look, and then heard that ear-piercing sound of a pipa like a tearing silk...
In the blink of an eye, Yang Xiuxian secretly winked at Wanda, signaling him not to act rashly.
Wanda understood, turned her head, and followed the nun into the room calmly.
In this Buddhist hall, in addition to the portrait of Avalokitesvara upon entering the door, there is also a statue of Venerable Wei Tuo.
There were two straw futons placed under the statue of Wei Tuo, and Wanda and the two knelt down, took the cigarettes from the black-faced nun, and "sincerely congratulated".
"Disciple Yang Guanghuai, a native of Northern Zhili. I beg Guanyin to bless my mother, who is under the nine springs, so that I can go to the Paradise as soon as possible. I am willing to donate a hundred taels of gold to make gold for the Buddha statue in the Daxiong Hall."
After Yang Xiuxian pretended to pray, he said something that made the eyelids of the two nuns standing beside them twitch at the same time.
Wanda glanced at him suspiciously, and immediately realized that he called himself "Guanghuai" because he didn't want these two people to know his true identity.
Then I can't say my real name.
Wanda thought, closed her eyes, and respectfully kowtowed to the statue of Wei Tuo.
"Disciple... Disciple Wan Xinghai is also willing to donate a hundred taels of silver, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless my sister to conceive a child as soon as possible and solve the urgent need."
Wanda didn't know if Yang Xiuxian's words were true or not, but what he just said was completely from the heart.
The most troublesome thing for the emperor's brother-in-law now is probably that he has been on the throne for nearly a year, and so far "nothing has come out" of the harem.For this reason, my sister Wan Zhen'er also endured tremendous pressure.
After finishing speaking, Wanda knocked her head heavily several times.It may be that the range of motion was too large, and the purse that was well carried in his arms fell out.
After he went out early in the morning, he bought a sesame seed cake casually on the street, and in a hurry, he didn't connect the rope at the mouth of the beam, and the silver was smashed, and the seven or eight golden melon seeds rewarded by Wan Zhen'er last time rolled down the road. land.Several golden melon seeds fell at the nun's feet.
"Oh!"
Wanda turned around in a hurry, lay down on the ground and picked them up one by one.
"Master, please lift your foot and let me pick it up."
The young nun took several steps back in embarrassment, almost to the door.
If it weren't for Wanda's flustered expression, Yang Xiuxian would almost have asked him to "show off" on purpose.
And the older nun suddenly showed a very "warm" smile to the two of them.
"The two Tanyues are here later... Poor nun, please go and invite the host to talk to the two of you. Meditate, and prepare tea for the two Tanyues!"
The black nun's tone was trembling with excitement.
"No, no, it can't be done like this."
Deng Xiang shook his head again and again, resolutely disagreeing with this.
If he hadn't been this kid's old boss for many years and had some prestige in his mind, Gao Hui would probably beat him up in a hurry.
"There are too many yamen involved in this matter. Look, let me first say that although the "Forgetting Me Pavilion" is located in the western boundary of the city, it is not only under the control of Tianfu. If it is a government-run business, it will involve Jiaofang Division. Jiaofang The department is under the Ministry of Rites."
Deng Xiang settled the score for him with his fingers.
"They lived in the Temple of Mercy before, and there was no news of them after they left the Temple of Mercy. It stands to reason that if they want to investigate, they have to go to the Temple of Mercy for questioning. Since the Taizu, all monks, nuns and lamas have returned to the "monk" Under the jurisdiction of the Record Division, the Mercy Nunnery is naturally in charge of the 'Monk Gang Division' from Shuntian Prefecture."
As the saying goes, "Monks and vulgars are different." Zhu Yuanzhang was a monk before he won the world, and he knows the many ways in this temple and the influence of the monks.
So in the early days of the Ming Dynasty, when everything in the country was in ruins, Emperor Hongwu established the "Shanshiyuan" to lead the monks and nuns in the world, which was also under the Ministry of Rites.
After Hongwu's 15-year reform, Zhu Yuanzhang withdrew the original "Shanshiyuan" and established the "Senglu Division" and "Daolu Division" in Beijing to manage Buddhist and Taoist temples respectively.
Under the Senglu Division, there are left and right palm prints, left and right explanations, left and right lectures, and left and right enlightenment.Among them, if the monks and nuns commit crimes, the left and right Jueyi will punish them themselves.
In fact, at the local level, the government has a "Seng Gang Division", the state has a "Seng Zheng Division", and the county has a "Seng Hui Division".
The monks and nuns in Beijing and the surrounding areas are all under the jurisdiction of Du Gang, the monk gang division of Shuntian Prefecture.
Isn't this a coincidence, no matter whether the former is a brothel, the latter is a nunnery, or a lay monk, they are all under the rule of the Ministry of Rites.
If this happened in other places in the capital, it would naturally fall under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture.Then Jin Yiwei Yamen, who is the admiral of the Five Armies of Shuntian Mansion, can directly intervene.Just like the fake bank case last time, that's it.
And these two... If Jin Yiwei wanted to take care of them, he would have to find sufficient evidence and submit it to His Majesty, and then His Majesty would issue a "driving note" before they could search and arrest people.
In fact, this kind of thing happened in the Yongle Dynasty or the early days of the Tianshun Dynasty.In order to handle the case, Jin Yiwei broke into the mountain gate and copied the brothel, who would dare to say more?
It is indeed a little shameful to say it.
Firstly, in today's world, there is no plan to give them such power at all.Secondly, Xu Bin, the current minister of the Ministry of Rites, is also a veteran minister who participated in the former emperor's "Change of Seizing the Gate". Today's young emperor Zhu Jianshen respects him very much.
The most important thing is that this Xu Shangshu has a heroic personality and a wide range of friends. Although he is in a high position and in charge of a department that represents the face of the country, he is not a pedantic old gentleman. He has a very good relationship with Commander Yuan .
Good ones were even impeached by the gossip officer Uemoto.Saying that he is a dignified minister, and he is actually in the same rank as Jin Yiwei, which is insulting to the gentleman... This made Commander Yuan feel embarrassed, feeling ashamed of his friend, and took the initiative to avoid suspicion.
Anyway, this person can't move, if he messes around casually, if he offends Commander Yuan and His Majesty first, then the gain will outweigh the loss.
"Yang Qianhu, is it difficult for Beizhen Fusi to intervene in this case?"
Seeing Gao Hui's depressed expression, Wanda asked worriedly.
"That depends on how many people will be involved in this case, and will it lead to a big case... Have you forgotten that the fake bank case was just a street scam at the beginning?"
Yang Xiuxian frowned slightly.
Such a small case is nothing more than abducting and selling women and forcing women into prostitution, so there is no need to dispatch Jin Yiwei.Is it because Gao Hui has been their colleague for many years, and now they are thousands of followers, so they will ask one more question...
Wait, what if this case can be passed and Mr. Wan's "urgent need" can be solved?
Yang Xiuxian thought about it.
He motioned for everyone to gather around, explaining his plan in such a general way.
"It makes sense... A brothel like 'Forget Me Pavilion' must be making money every day. If they really abducted and sold women from good families and copied them, it would be considered a victory for the 'sweeping pornographic and illegal activities' in the early spring of this year!"
Wanda was excited.
"'Forget Me Pavilion' is making money every day? No, no..."
Deng Xiang shook his index finger disdainfully, "The one who really 'makes money every day' is probably the 'Compassion Nunnery'."
"Master Deng! This is too much."
Wanda looked at him dissatisfied, "Don't you still want to get money from the nunnery? Isn't this the same as taking food from beggars?"
"beggar?"
Hearing Wanda describe the nuns in such a way, Yang Xiuxian couldn't help turning his head and staring at him for a while.
"Lord Wan, don't you have any women in your family who believe in Buddhism?"
"Sister-in-law?"
Wanda recalled the past ten years of getting along with Zhang, and indeed never saw her praying to God and worshiping Buddha.
"Never."
Not to mention after entering Beijing, even in Bazhou, neighbors and aunts would meet to go to the temple to offer incense, and her sister-in-law had never been there.
"That's really rare."
Deng Xiang was amazed.
The spiritual life of the people in the Ming Dynasty was very rich, and most of the people believed in Buddhism and Taoism. Temples and Taoist temples were densely distributed in the capital. Basically, there were at least ten to twenty temples in a city.There are even sects that are spreading in private and have many believers, which is a headache for the emperors of all dynasties.
Zhu Yuanzhang was a monk for a period of time before he became the king of the world, but the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were more superstitious about Taoism.
In contrast, the common people believe more in Buddha Jialan.
Every time it comes to the Buddha Bathing Festival, the day when Avalokitesvara is enlightened, or the birthday of a heavenly official, the whole city is basically bathed in a religious carnival atmosphere.
If there are big festivals like Shangyuan, Zhongyuan, and Mid-Autumn Festival, there will be various rewarding gods and competitions.
Not only folks, but even government offices will participate.It is said that some yamen are well managed and can make a fortune from it.
At that time, there will be believers and onlookers on both sides of the street, looking at the miraculous sedan chair, setting off firecrackers, and making lanterns, which can last from morning to midnight.
Basically, all the people participate, and the whole city is lively.
Not only the temples in the folk and the palace, but also the official offices of the Ming Dynasty also enshrined various statues of gods.
For example, Dongchang enshrines Yue Fei, the king of Yue who served the country faithfully, Shangshanjian enshrines the Stove Lord, and even the grassroots writers offer incense to "Cang Ye" every day—the Cang Ye is also the god of word creation, Cangjie!
And in their Beizhen Fusi yamen, the person enshrined every day is Guan Erye, Guan Yu, who holds the Qinglongyanyue knife.After lighting the candle every day, many people will habitually put incense sticks on the second master, praying for safety, before going out to patrol the streets.
"My family was very poor before, and I relied on my sister-in-law to manage the family. Because my family was exiled into the army, my father and brother only had such a salary every month, but there were three men who had to eat. When they got married, they bought furniture for the eldest brother to marry. And banquets, the family even spent a lot of money, owed a lot of money, and did not pay it off until five or six years after my sister-in-law came in. Later, when I was 13 years old and went to work in a hotel, there was no one in the family. Gu, just take it easy."
Wanda scratched her head in embarrassment.
"Don't talk about going to temples to offer incense. When my family was the poorest, even the money for buying yellow paper on Qingming Festival was paid by the neighbors next door. My sister-in-law had to pay for the laundry."
When Wanda was a child, she really grew up "eating military camp meals and wearing a hundred clothes", and she was so poor that she felt sad.
As a son of an official, Yang Xiuxian couldn't imagine what kind of life it was like, and looked at him with distressed eyes.
"Then, my lord, doesn't your family still enshrine Buddha statues?"
Deng Xiang interjected curiously.
"My family only enshrines the ancestral tablet, and there is also the tablet of 'Heaven, Earth, Monarch, Parent and Teacher'."
Wanda shook his head, then laughed twice, "It seems that he doesn't go to worship every day except for New Year's and festivals."
Burning incense during festivals is also a occasion, not even "holding Buddha's feet temporarily".
Looking at it this way, Wanjia can be regarded as a wonderful flower in the Ming Dynasty.
"Then it's no wonder my lord doesn't know. This temple, nunnery and Taoist temple are the most profitable places in the world!"
When Deng Xiang said this, his face was full of grief.
The lady of Deng Xiang's family spent an incredible amount of money on burning incense and kowtow every year.
Needless to say, the statues of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and God of Wealth brought from famous mountain and treasure temples are offered at home.On the fifteenth day of the lunar new year, you must go to the temple in the city to burn incense.
Not only that, she doesn't miss any of the Niangniang Temple, Grandma Temple, and Grandma Temple.Giving alms, asking for scriptures, asking for incense, Bon Festival, parents sacrifice, all are expenses.
Sometimes I don't feel well, and it's fine if the medicine doesn't taste good, and I still listen to the nonsense of those aunts, and spend a lot of money to buy some Laoshizifu water to drink.
It's fate if you don't drink to death.
"Last year, on the day of my mother's death, I invited a group of nuns and a group of Taoist nuns to recite sutras for her at home. It took three days in total to build a shed and decorate the hall. Those people had to eat again, and they went in back and forth. It's ten taels of silver! So, the old man probably doesn't know whose family my mother is in the West Paradise."
Deng Xiang shook his head, "Not long after the anniversary of the death, she and her little sister met again to burn incense at the Tanzhe Temple in Xishan. In time, she donated gold to the Buddha statues in the temple to do meritorious deeds. Without further ado, she donated another ten taels. My lord, How much is my monthly salary for this month? I can afford her expenses!"
"It makes sense..."
Wanda nodded, then looked at Deng Xiang suspiciously, "Then where did Mrs. Deng get the money to afford such an expense?"
"Cough cough..."
"Mr. Deng? What's the matter with you?"
Almost revealing Jin Yiwei's embezzlement of property and extortion of the prisoner's family, Deng Xiang coughed dryly and his face turned purple.
Gao Hui silently turned his head away.
Deng Xiang had no choice but to wink wildly at Yang Xiuxian and prayed all over his face.
"My lord, what Deng Zongqi means is that not only are the monks and nuns in those temples not poor, but they are also very rich. Especially in the big temples with strong incense, the income of the whole temple in the next year may be equivalent to that of an ordinary small county government." annual income."
Seeing that Deng Xiang's eyes were about to blink, Yang Xiuxian had no choice but to stand up and make a rescue.
"If the mother and daughter were really abducted into the 'Forget Me Pavilion', after we investigate clearly and have the evidence, we may not be able to use it as a raft and 'evil eat black'."
Yang Xiuxian raised his head, under the two lowered eyebrows, a calculating light flashed in the long and narrow eyes.
Looking at the smile on the corner of his blood red mouth, Wanda suddenly felt a little shudder.
"You guys, aren't you afraid of retribution from the Yin Division? Isn't this...isn't it 'slandering monks and Taoism'?"
Aren’t you ancient people very superstitious? Why do you now look more scientific and serious than me, a socialist successor who has gone through nine years of compulsory education?
"I just want Mrs. Song's mother and daughter to be safe, no matter the method."
Gao Hui said bluntly.
"I'm not my mother-in-law. Mr. Deng only believes in Second Master Guan, Marquis of Han Shouting."
Deng Xiang said indifferently.
"In Yang's heart, there is only His Majesty."
As Yang Xiuxian said, he showed an expression of "looking up to the sky and bowing down to the ground".
He glanced at the thousands of households who had nothing to say, and added in his heart: there may be His Majesty's brother-in-law.
On the side of the "Forget Me Pavilion", Deng Xiang asked Dongcheng Bingmasi to keep an eye on their personnel going in and out during this period, and report to him immediately if there is any change.
As for the Temple of Mercy, it will be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in a few days, and the Temple of Mercy will hold a New Year's Lantern Festival and a temple fair in the open space in front of the temple.Even if a few of them went in, it wouldn't arouse suspicion.
"Yang Qianhu, we agreed to handle the case together, why are you and I the only ones?"
Wearing fluffy earmuffs on her ears, a hood on her head, and her hands in her pockets, Wanda, who is dressed in red and white, is very festive in her outfit today, as if the good fortune boy next to the Goddess of Mercy has walked away from a New Year picture It seems to come down.The girls and daughters-in-law who came and went at the temple fair couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
According to the agreement, today Wanda did not go to the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, but sat directly on Xiaohei all the way to the south, left the Zhengyang Gate and went west, and came to this small hill south of the black kiln factory outside the west of the city.
Although it is a warm winter this year, walking around the city will cause you to sweat a little on weekdays, but when you arrive in the suburbs, the northwest wind blows and you are still shy.
"Where's Deng Zongqi? Where's Gaohui? Where's Xiaoqiu?"
Wanda looked around and saw no one except Yang Xiuxian.
Today Yang Qianhu didn't ride his "Blizzard", but ordered his servants to drive a carriage.The carriage was parked in a large square by the lake, surrounded by BMW incense carts, it seems that there are quite a few rich people who specially came to the temple to offer incense today.
Yang Xiuxian took Xiao Hei from Wanda's hand, brought it to his carriage, and tied it together.
Wanda looked towards the lake on tiptoe, only to see a thick layer of ice on the surface of the lake, which reflected the dazzling light under the sunlight, just like the Nine Heavens Xuannv broke a glass cup, pouring gems and stones all over the ground. Zhu Yuer.
"Today is the Lantern Festival, and there is also a lantern festival in the city. When there are too many people, there will be accidents, such as stealing things, abducting children, losing female relatives, and even catching fire. Various problems emerge one after another. At this time in previous years, Jin Yiwei will help patrol, It will take three full days and three nights of work, and there are not enough people. Deng Zongqi has already dragged your Gaohui to patrol."
Yang Xiuxian explained with a smile.
In ancient times, this Lantern Festival was even more lively than New Year's Eve, otherwise how can we say "celebrate" the Spring Festival and "make" the Lantern Festival.The beauty lies in the word "noisy".
This day can be said to be a national carnival, all night long, and the officials and the people have fun together.
Layer upon layer of lampstands have long been set up in the imperial city, with lanterns of different colors on them, all ingenious, colorful and dazzling.The largest lampstand among them was named "Aoshan Lantern Festival" because of its resemblance to Lao Ao.
According to the rules passed down from the Yongle period, this carnival will last for three full days, and the entire capital will no longer be banned, immersed in endless lights, food and fireworks for a long time.
And women who seldom go to the streets on weekdays can also leave the closed boudoir in these few days and meet to play in the streets.Take a look at this dazzling streamer, the prosperity of the age.At that time, the whole street will be covered with carved BMW cars, the jade pot will turn brightly, and the phoenix flute will sound.
Yang Xiuxian also wore a thick jacket today, dressed like a warrior.A Hufeng leather belt is tied around the waist.
However, he has a good figure, and he doesn't look bloated at all. On the contrary, he looks even more magnificent, which makes Wanda envious.
Speaking of which, since entering Beijing, Wanda has supplemented calcium with a glass of fresh milk every morning and evening, and it doesn't necessarily mean that it has grown much taller.
Thinking about it, Wan Xinghai grew to 1.7 meters five in his "previous life".Now this body is just over 1.7 meters, which is about equal to a third-level disability...
The height problem is Wanda's biggest weakness after it became rich overnight.
"What about Xiao Qiu?"
Qiu Zijin didn't need to patrol the streets, and their Guozijian officially resumed classes tomorrow.
"My lord, are you very unwilling to handle the case alone with your subordinates? Why do you always ask questions?"
Suddenly, Yang Xiuxian lowered his head suddenly, and brought that handsome face like a jade in front of Wanda.
"Do you think that without those few people, the case cannot be handled with just two subordinates and adults?"
The corners of the slender eyes are slightly lowered, and there is playfulness, probing, and teasing in the eyes.
The thin red lips are raised up, seemingly casually, but faintly deliberately let you see his three-point calculation.
Jade Face Yama.
These four words suddenly flashed in Wanda's mind.
Flower-like appearance, thunderbolt skills.Just being squinted one more time with both eyes, I am afraid that the soul will be hooked into the sky.
Wanda's hands were stuffed in his hands, his eyes wandered from side to side, trying to avoid his aggressive gaze.
Hurry up and stop exuding your damn charm, I can't stand the temptation.
Unconsciously, Wanda swallowed heavily, cursing inwardly.
"Mom, what are these two brothers doing?"
A little girl with candied haws in her hand happened to see this scene and shook her mother's sleeve curiously.
"This is obviously a robbery... Hey! Now the order of the temple fair is getting more and more chaotic, and there are still such things in broad daylight. The government doesn't know how to send more people! Go, go, don't eat! Otherwise, it will be a while The thief stole your candy."
Seeing the strange behavior of these two people, her mother thought that one of them was a tall and powerful martial artist, and the other was a weak and helpless son. She thought that her daughter had accidentally witnessed a street blackmail case.
Adhering to the attitude that one thing more is worse than one thing less, the young woman picked up her daughter and left quickly.
"..."
The two Daming civil servants who had listened to their entire conversation turned their heads away in embarrassment, and finally returned to normal.
"Isn't Qiu Jiansheng about to end the competition this year? Today, he was dragged to the Confucius Temple by his classmates to pray for blessings."
The Confucian Temple is next to the Guozijian. According to the customs of previous years, today it should be crowded with scholars from all walks of life.Although Confucius and his elders said: "If you don't talk, you will be strange and confused."But it doesn't prevent his disciples and grandchildren from hugging his thigh when they come.
There was unconcealable excitement in Yang Xiuxian's tone.
"After this month, his 'calendar' will be over, and he will start preparing for the imperial examination wholeheartedly. It should not be possible to come to the Jinyiwei Yamen in the future."
That's good too, so that he won't have to report to Commander Yuan that "Idlers should not enter".
Could it be that seeing Yang Xiuxian so cheerful, Wanda couldn't help but look at him more.
I thought to myself, could it be that Mr. Yang is not fair because what Qiu Jian eats is the public funds of the Jinyiwei Yamen?That's too petty...
The outside of the mountain gate is lively, and the inside of the mountain gate is also full of jubilation.
Come in from the Tianwang Hall, pass the Bell and Drum Tower all the way, and come to the gate of the Daxiong Hall.Wherever he went, there were crowds of people, people pushing people, and some people holding lit incense sticks around to worship, accidentally burning other people's clothes.
So the scolding outside and the Buddhist music playing in the hall mixed together, making people's brains hurt.
It was the first time in Wanda's life to visit a temple fair, and there was going to be a stampede in front of him, so he couldn't help leaning towards Yang Xiuxian.
The guy is tall and big and still feels safe around him.
Yang Xiuxian lowered his head, just in time to see the little red pinch on Wanda's velvet hat, trembling, couldn't help stretching out his hand to pinch it.Seeing that Wanda didn't respond, he tentatively wrapped his arms around his shoulders.
This heartless kid was watching the fun, and didn't notice it at all.
When I found out, I felt that this was just a normal interaction between male friends, so I didn't struggle, so I followed the flow of people and moved into the Daxiong Hall little by little.
Someone showed a triumphant smile.
Because this is a nunnery, most of the pilgrims are women.As soon as the two young men appeared, they attracted the attention of almost all the people present.
The young girl and her sisters-in-law were so ashamed that they hurriedly covered their heads with their clothes, only daring to secretly look at these two beautiful boys through the gaps in the clothes.
And the elderly aunts and mother-in-laws looked at them openly and generously, not only pointing, but also tasting each other with a smile.
She said this is handsome, Yi said that is pretty, it is really the right time to come to see the lantern today, and you can see the boy in the painting.
Hundreds of gazes were cast on him at the same time, and even Wanda, who claimed to be extremely thick-skinned, was also blushed by these aunts.
Glancing again at Yang Xiuxian, who was leisurely and contented, counting Arhats as if strolling in a garden, Wanda thought to himself that this "authentic" Jin Yiwei has a thick skin, black and thick!
"Amitabha. The two Tanyues, poor nuns are polite."
Seeing that the group of Tanyue women were looking at "men" instead of "Buddha sons", two nuns in their forties, wearing large bluish-gray monk robes and dark monk hats, hurried over from the side hall. Facing Wanda and Yang Xiuxian, the two clasped their hands together and saluted.
Wanda and Yang Xiuxian also respectfully returned their Namaste.
"You two, Tanyue, although the Buddhist school is a place where the door of convenience is wide open, there should be no difference between men and women. But you two have also seen that most of the nunneries are female donors, and there are still many people who offer incense in the Daxiong Hall. It’s inconvenient, why don’t you follow the poor nun to the inner hall to burn incense?”
The speaker was a bhikkhuni with a dignified face and dark skin.
"It should be so."
Yang Xiuxian replied "follow the good".
"Two, this way please."
Another slightly younger nun took half a step back, lowered her eyebrows and spoke calmly, without even looking at them.
Wanda and Yang Xiuxian looked at each other, and they both saw the excited look in each other's eyes.
"Master, please lead the way."
The two followed the nun to the back of the Eighteen Arhats and walked into the side hall.
The excited female pilgrims all around let out a sigh, and the two nuns leading the way stopped in their footsteps.
The girls withdrew their rippling gazes in a sense of loss.A few more bold ones stood on tiptoe and frequently looked in the direction where the two young men left...
Pass through the side hall, and then through a veranda, and finally come to a three-frame room.
Wanda looked up and looked at the plaque on the door, it was a stone plaque with the words "eliminating falsehoods" written on it.The brushwork is ancient and clumsy, and it is quite skillful.
As soon as he entered the house, Wanda couldn't help but stop and turned to look at Yang Xiuxian.
The latter also frowned slightly.
No one else, just because as soon as he entered the door, he saw a white-clothed Avalokitesvara on the painting in the middle of the lobby, facing the door.
It's Avalokitesvara in white again!
Unlike Wanda, although Yang Xiuxian himself disdains the theory of ghosts and gods, he can't escape the customs at home. He set up a Buddhist altar in a quiet corner of his home to worship the God of Wealth.There is also a portrait of Guanyin on the wall. The housekeeper Yang Bo and his wife will clean and burn incense every day.
After all, Yang Xiuxian was also born in a family of officials. Although he was a royal guard, he did some research on calligraphy, gold and stone, and painting, and he also knew a thing or two about the teachings of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism.
Although it is also a statue of Avalokitesvara in white, the one in "Forgetting Me Pavilion" is Shuiyue Avalokitesvara.
The water moon is one of the 33 dharmakayas of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.Sitting cross-legged in the lotus position, holding the flower in one hand and hanging on the knee with the other, looking down at the moon in the water.
The portrait of Avalokitesvara in front of me is actually "Willow Avalokitesvara".It is also one of the most common Dharma bodies of Guanyin Bodhisattva among the people, with the fearless seal in the left hand, willow branches in the right hand, and the white clothes dragging down, to save the world.
Although the dharmakaya of these two paintings of Guanyin are different, Yang Xiuxian immediately judged that based on the way the two paintings are drawn, especially the subtle treatment of the wrinkles of the clothes and the wreaths, they are definitely from the same person Under the pen.
The key is the signing... The small red seal on the lower right corner is not the usual painter's name or hall number, but a graceful water lily.
That day in the "Forgetting Me Pavilion", he just thought the inscribed seal was very interesting, so he took a second look, and then heard that ear-piercing sound of a pipa like a tearing silk...
In the blink of an eye, Yang Xiuxian secretly winked at Wanda, signaling him not to act rashly.
Wanda understood, turned her head, and followed the nun into the room calmly.
In this Buddhist hall, in addition to the portrait of Avalokitesvara upon entering the door, there is also a statue of Venerable Wei Tuo.
There were two straw futons placed under the statue of Wei Tuo, and Wanda and the two knelt down, took the cigarettes from the black-faced nun, and "sincerely congratulated".
"Disciple Yang Guanghuai, a native of Northern Zhili. I beg Guanyin to bless my mother, who is under the nine springs, so that I can go to the Paradise as soon as possible. I am willing to donate a hundred taels of gold to make gold for the Buddha statue in the Daxiong Hall."
After Yang Xiuxian pretended to pray, he said something that made the eyelids of the two nuns standing beside them twitch at the same time.
Wanda glanced at him suspiciously, and immediately realized that he called himself "Guanghuai" because he didn't want these two people to know his true identity.
Then I can't say my real name.
Wanda thought, closed her eyes, and respectfully kowtowed to the statue of Wei Tuo.
"Disciple... Disciple Wan Xinghai is also willing to donate a hundred taels of silver, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless my sister to conceive a child as soon as possible and solve the urgent need."
Wanda didn't know if Yang Xiuxian's words were true or not, but what he just said was completely from the heart.
The most troublesome thing for the emperor's brother-in-law now is probably that he has been on the throne for nearly a year, and so far "nothing has come out" of the harem.For this reason, my sister Wan Zhen'er also endured tremendous pressure.
After finishing speaking, Wanda knocked her head heavily several times.It may be that the range of motion was too large, and the purse that was well carried in his arms fell out.
After he went out early in the morning, he bought a sesame seed cake casually on the street, and in a hurry, he didn't connect the rope at the mouth of the beam, and the silver was smashed, and the seven or eight golden melon seeds rewarded by Wan Zhen'er last time rolled down the road. land.Several golden melon seeds fell at the nun's feet.
"Oh!"
Wanda turned around in a hurry, lay down on the ground and picked them up one by one.
"Master, please lift your foot and let me pick it up."
The young nun took several steps back in embarrassment, almost to the door.
If it weren't for Wanda's flustered expression, Yang Xiuxian would almost have asked him to "show off" on purpose.
And the older nun suddenly showed a very "warm" smile to the two of them.
"The two Tanyues are here later... Poor nun, please go and invite the host to talk to the two of you. Meditate, and prepare tea for the two Tanyues!"
The black nun's tone was trembling with excitement.
