Self-cultivation of male support

Cheng Lixue picked up Shi Yan with one hand, ignored Shi Yan's short legs struggling in the air, and used his sleeve to wipe off the tea stains on Shi Yan's face indiscriminately, and then put him back again.

Cheng Lixue couldn't laugh or cry and said: "A Yan, those masters who deceive people and money down the mountain, they are in tune with you. Did you secretly follow your cousin down the mountain to learn something you shouldn't have learned?"

Shi Yan shook his head: "I'm serious, Uncle, I see that you are destined to be with my teacher in this life, but if you don't recognize it now, you will also be a member of my teacher sooner or later. It will be futile to persuade you not to struggle."

Cheng Lixue waved her hands again and again: "I just plan to stay here for a while, but I don't really want to become a monk!"

After finishing speaking, he warned Shi Yan: "You can have fun, but don't be really fascinated by this boring thing, thinking about becoming a monk! You are the only seedling left in your old Feng's family. If you don't want to become a monk In the future, when uncle goes underground, how can he have the face to meet your parents!"

Seeing that his nephew didn't ask about what happened in the back mountain that day, Cheng Lixue, as an uncle, was relieved. On the one hand, he felt that children have a bad memory and should forget.On the other hand, I feel that this kind of thing can't be explained clearly to children, so it's best not to ask.

Shi Yan buried his head in his meal, ignoring the last struggle of the ignorant person.

He didn't lie, he really saw that this uncle's face has changed a lot recently, when Shi Yan just woke up, it didn't look obvious, but now he feels more and more that this uncle should be their teacher For those who are so lucky, struggling is useless.

After eating, Shi Yan forcefully stuffed the Taoist scriptures into his uncle's hand: "It's idle to be idle, why don't you take a look with me!"

Uncle took a second look and started complaining of a headache.

Shi Yan was speechless: "It doesn't look like it at all, forget it, then tell me, are you here to hide from those people who come to your house to match you? I heard that you are very popular in the capital recently. Every young lady wants to marry you and be my aunt!"

Cheng Lixue leaned against the door frame without any image, blew a hooligan whistle at Shiyan, spread her hands and said: "There must be this reason! Uncle finally got rid of the burden, and feels relaxed. I want to relax for a few more days, and I don't want to be caught again." Take it back and pack it up and give it to some woman in exchange for benefits!"

When Shi Yan heard this, he didn't have any feelings for the second princess at all, and he had a lot of resentment for telling him about such a marriage at home.

Bored, he changed into a more rogue posture and stood: "You are still young, and you don't understand even if I tell you. Uncle dares to tell you if you don't understand. If you understand everything, there is really no way to say this." exit."

Shi Yanxin said: Then you will know the truth in the future, but don't cry.

Shi Yan sat on the threshold, propped his chin with his hands, looked at the sky, and said quietly: "Cousin Changqing hasn't come to see me for a long time, and the roast chicken that he promised to give me was just sent by someone at home, I don't know What is he doing recently? The servant is not considerate at all.

Sneakily stuffed the roast chicken to me, turned around and left, as if a wolf was chasing him after him.It's not like cousin Changqing, who will carefully tear up the roast chicken and feed it to me. "

Cheng Lixue's rogue pose was exhausted after a long time, and she sat down next to Shi Yan, and the two, one big and one small, also rested their chins on their hands, looking at the sky in the distance.

Tranquil, distant, and vulgar.

Cheng Lixue suddenly had the desire to confide in him: "Changqing's grandfather arranged a marriage for him. He is the daughter of Mr. Zhou Chengli Zhou, the Imperial Academy. She was born noble. I heard that she is dignified and generous. A good player, it is also possible to be a wife of the royal family.

After all, the Cheng family is a family of military generals. The wars have subsided in the past few years. In the future, military generals will only be less and less useful. If the family wants to develop for a long time, it is an inevitable trend to transfer texts.

Guozijian Jijiu is a very good choice. In the past, my uncle thought that your cousin knew everything, but now it seems that he has been protected so well all these years that he is so naive.

Your cousin Changqing has been getting very close to the girl from the fifth princess’s family recently, and he doesn’t want to have this kind of marriage. Come out to get clean. "

Shi Yan said quietly: "I remember that the son-in-law of the fifth princess seems to be named Zhou, too, Zhou Chengde, right? What's the relationship with Zhou Chengli?"

Cheng Lixue was surprised for a moment, and rubbed Shi Yan's soft and furry head: "Our family, Ah Yan, has a good memory, so I followed your mother. Zhou Chengli, who offered wine to the Imperial College, is the cousin of Zhou Chengde, the fifth son-in-law."

Shi Yan sighed quietly: "So the candidates you are optimistic about as daughter-in-law, and the candidates you are optimistic about, are cousins."

Cheng Lixue coughed in embarrassment: "Indeed."

Shi Yan: "Hey, sin."

Cheng Lixue also thought it was an injustice, but he didn't expect that there was only a more injustice, not the most injustice.

What he didn't tell Shi Yan was that he came here for a short stay to monitor Abbot Mingguang, and it's best to catch the other's pigtails.

Such an abbot with poor character, even if he was Shi Yan's uncle, he would not trust Shi Yan to take care of him.

Therefore, the trail that was discovered by Shi Yan before became a place he frequented. For the sake of secrecy, Cheng Lixue, who had been a spy in the army, took care of the trail that was already well hidden. It was rearranged to ensure that no one could find out except the person involved.

He didn't avoid Shi Yan when he did these things, sometimes when Shi Yan wasn't meditating, he would take his nephew with him.

There is a little secret in common between the two, and the relationship is changing rapidly, and they are a little closer than before.

Thanks to Ming Guang being a great monk who had been in poor health since he was a child, and who also ate fast and recited Buddha's name. Although he had a sharp tongue and could make people say he had a splitting headache, his bones were normal, not to mention the existence of a master like Cheng Lixue.

So Shi Yan finished his meditation that day, and was carried by his uncle to relax on the big tree in Abbot Mingguang's yard.

Originally, I thought that I would listen to Ming Guang's sutras for two hours painfully as usual, but today I saw another woman in the yard at a glance.

As the abbot of Wanfo Temple, Mingguang could come to his courtyard and be received by him personally. He was either rich or noble, and he couldn't afford to offend people, or he didn't want to offend people easily.

Shi Yan glanced at his uncle: Who is it?

Cheng Lixue wrote the word "five" on Shi Yan's palm, and Shi Yan understood it clearly: the fifth princess.

The mother of the heroine Zhou Yulong.

The two stretched their ears and listened carefully to the conversation of the two below.

The fifth princess's voice was full of relief: "Ming Guang, you and I are also a Lushui couple. For so many years, I have never said anything about what happened back then. Are you still unwilling to agree to my request today?"

Shi Yan: Come here!

I looked at my uncle from the corner of the corner of the eye, and sure enough the shock in his eyes couldn't deceive anyone.

The abbot said: "Your Highness, the poor monk is a monk, never intervening in court affairs, and has no ability to intervene. Please be wise!"

Speaking of this, the abbot's tone suddenly became severe: "Your Highness, I am a monk, and I am not a fool. What happened back then was purely because you were plotted against and implicated the poor monk.

The poor monk can be seduced by you because he is not firm in his heart to my Buddha. Over the years, the poor monk has confessed to my Buddha day and night.Poor monk, I am sorry for my Buddha, but I have never been ashamed of you, so don't make excuses here! "

The voice of the fifth princess was still sweet: "Really? If you are as magnanimous as you said, why did you try to give Liu Nianjiao a rich fief? Hmm? I just want you to help me this time, it's too much Is it? If I didn’t have any suitable candidates at hand, I wouldn’t bother Master’s purity.”

Liu Nianjiao is the name of the second princess.

Although the abbot was surprised that the fifth princess knew about the second princess and him, his attitude was still firm: "The poor monk represents not only me, but also represents the position of the entire Wanfu Temple, and even most of the Buddhist temples in the world. If you don’t participate in political struggles, please be smart!”

The fifth princess sighed faintly, poked her finger on the abbot's chest and said, "If I say, Yulong's child is my child and yours? So you still don't want to help me?

I just want our child to be a princess and be a master. What's wrong with that?I am a princess now, the elder sister of the emperor, and I look at the scenery on my face, but what if I am in Yulong's hands?

The son-in-law alone has five biological children, not counting the Zhou family's cousins, and I only have one Yulong!If I am gone in the future, who will think about our children?

I know that you can speak well in the palace. With just one sentence, our child can become a princess, and even if I die in the future, I can still close my eyes safely. Isn't that good? "

Obviously, the abbot and Cheng Lixue were also greatly frightened.

The abbot stared at the face of the fifth princess: "Your Highness is joking."

The fifth princess had been prepared for a long time, and took out a neatly stacked piece of paper from her sleeve: "This is Yulong's birthday, do you think I will make fun of such a thing?"

Seeing this, Cheng Lixue understood the plan of the fifth princess, sneered in her heart, and left quietly with Shi Yan.

Back in the yard, Shi Yan asked curiously: "Uncle, aren't you shocked at all?"

Cheng Lixue rubbed Shi Yan's hairy little head: "Children think too much and it's easy to not grow tall!"

Shi Yan: "..."

Cheng Lixue told Shi Yan amusedly: "There is no problem with the birth date, but the fifth princess' daughter is definitely not Mingguang's child, he was fooled."

Shi Yan was puzzled: "Uncle, how did you know?"

"Well, this matter is also a secret, not suitable for your children to listen to."

Shi Yan only looked at his uncle with the eyes of "telling half the story, and wetting the bed at night".

Cheng Lixue was so cute that his nephew abandoned all principles: "It just so happened that a friend of my uncle's acquaintance in the imperial hospital once told me in private when he was drunk, saying that the fifth princess was pregnant and killed the fifth son-in-law's love with his own hands. Concubine, at that time, the concubine's belly and children had already formed, and they flowed out alive.

Both the mother and the child died. The fifth princess was overly frightened and gave birth prematurely when she saw that scene.

Because it was a scandal of the Zhou family, it was tightly covered by their family, and outsiders didn't know the inside story, and always thought that the fifth princess was born at full term. According to the fifth princess, the child who wanted to be born prematurely should be counted at full term. It just happened to depend on Mingguang.

Even if Mingguang asks people to inquire, he will not be able to find out the truth, and he will suffer the loss! "

Cheng Lixue sighed: "I really underestimated Feng Zixu, he is no longer the Feng Zixu in my impression, and I don't know if the abbot of Yuehai knows what Feng Zixu did, is it because the coffin board is too heavy?" Can't stop."

Shi Yan had no choice but to remind his uncle: "The previous abbot didn't have a coffin board. After his cremation, the old man gave out three relics, which are still enshrined in the Bodhidharma courtyard!"

Shi Yan felt that there was one thing that he didn't quite understand: "Why do these princesses want to ask the abbot for help?"

Cheng Lixue looked far away, pretending that she didn't understand what her nephew said, she only talked about the fifth princess and never mentioned the second princess: "It is reasonable for the fifth princess to ask Mingguang for help, and this is about Mingguang's teacher. The door is closed.

Master Mingguang was the previous abbot of Yuehai. This abbot has been dead for more than ten years.

Mingguang also has a master who is the elder brother of the abbot of Yuehai, the abbot of Yueshan. Although this abbot has been in retreat for several years, his influence has not diminished but increased.

The current emperor believes in Buddhism very much, and it is rumored that Yueshan has made a lot of efforts in the process of succeeding to the throne.Yueshan was also a smart man, and he quickly withdrew from the royal political struggle, which actually made the emperor miss him even more.

Today, Mingguang said that the reason why Wanfo Temple does not participate in political struggles was decided by Abbot Yueshan back then.

This is not the end, these days, all abbots and eminent monks are able to heal diseases and save lives with one or two hands, this abbot Yueshan's medical skills are particularly good, he once saved the life of the present empress dowager.

Mingguang has such a relationship, and he does have the ability to send the daughter of the fifth princess to the position of crown princess.

It is also time for him to stumble. After so many years of smooth sailing, I am afraid that he has long forgotten who he is. He has done so many things on his heart in the holy land of Buddhism. There is no need for his uncle to take action, and some people will take care of him. "

Shi Yan: "Hey, that's going to be a disaster for Cousin Changqing. He still wants to stay and fly with the fifth princess's daughter. It's really annoying. Why don't you all practice Taoism with me? How happy is it to practice Taoism! When you become an immortal, all the troubles in the world of mortals are like a passing cloud."

Cheng Lixue was teased by his nephew and laughed: "Uncle is still willing to be an ordinary person. In the future, if your cousin is willing to die or live for a woman, regardless of the interests of the family that brought him up since he was a child, not to mention uncle, but his grandfather, he will have a violent temper." If you come up, you can also kick him over!

By then, your little yard will probably have another regular visitor! "

In fact, Shi Yan felt that while practicing, using these gossips to adjust his life was very beneficial to his physical and mental health. Except for the fact that the person involved in the incident was unhappy, Shi Yan was very happy to see it.

Cousin Cheng Changqing didn't get kicked over by his grandfather, so he found Shi Yan first.

When the father and son met each other, the father's complexion was ruddy, and his body was a little more ethereal and remote. It was obvious that he was living a very comfortable life.

The son's face was haggard, his eyes were red and bloodshot, his clothes were wrinkled, and his figure was shaking. Those who didn't know it thought he was fighting for seven days and seven nights in some building, and was hollowed out by the sisters inside.

When Cheng Changqing saw his father, his voice was choked with sobs, he rushed to his father's side, and said aggrievedly: "Father, I, I am too difficult!"

Shi Yan and Cheng Lixue were at a loss.

It took a long time before Cheng Changqing's narration, the two of them roughly understood what he wanted to express.

Cheng Lixue heard the veins throbbing in his forehead, wishing he could beat his unconscious son sober on the spot.

Shi Yan stroked his chin, feeling that this matter was interesting.

Cheng Changqing was still sitting on the small bench, and said aggrievedly: "I really don't know what's going on, I actually like Yu Qiao in my heart, since I happened to meet Yu Qiao at the old lady's banquet three years ago , I have never forgotten her in my heart.

In the past few years, I have been thinking that when the time is right, I will tell my parents about this matter, and ask my elder Zhou's family to propose marriage for me. "

Zhou Yuqiao, the wife chosen by Cheng Changqing's elders.

"I used to think of Cousin Yulong as my own sister, and I thought she was unruly and had a weird temper, and she wasn't pleasing at all. If it wasn't for him being the cousin of the princess' aunt's family, I wouldn't even say a word. willing.

But I don't know what's going on, every time when I think this way in my heart, when I see that cousin, I feel that she is attractive everywhere, my actions, eyes are unconsciously attracted by her, and there is a voice in my head They kept telling me that I love her, deeply in love with her, that I should be with her, have children, and love her all my life.

But at the bottom of my heart, I felt that this was wrong, very wrong!The person I like is obviously Yu Qiao!But every time I think this way, my head starts to hurt, disturbing my peace!

How could this be, I was going crazy!This is to tear me in half before giving up!Is it okay if I don't get married or marry a wife?I will become a monk with my cousin! "

Shi Yan reminded lightly: "It's a Taoist priest!"

Cheng Changqing couldn't control so much anymore, he didn't pick anything at all: "Then become a Taoist priest!"

Cheng Lixue wanted to hit someone when he heard it, and creaked his fists: "Long Wangshu! Shameless! Want to have both! How can there be such a good thing?

If it weren't for the fact that you were still a little hesitant and knew that what you did was wrong, today's beating would be inevitable! "

Cheng Changqing even felt that being beaten up by his father was more comfortable than going down the mountain to face these messy things.

Shi Yan solemnly took out the Daoist scriptures from his sleeve, and the two people in front of him each had a copy. Under the blind eyes of the two, they said solemnly: "From the point of view of the poor, my cousin is bewitched. I don't have a lot of fate with my teacher, but it is still necessary to follow me to recite Taoism scriptures to drive away evil spirits.

As for you, uncle, it is true that you are too angry and need to be pure and ascetic, twice a day to keep you refreshed and enter the state of a sage. "

Cheng Changqing was about to go crazy, Sima was working as a doctor, Shi Yan said so, he immediately opened it and started to read, before it was time for a cup of tea, his clenched fists gradually loosened, and his clenched teeth also relaxed As for the bloodshot eyeballs, they were covered by the closed eyelids at some point.

He tilted his body and looked about to fall to the ground, but he didn't wake up after being caught by his father, and even snored comfortably.

Shi Yan raised the Taoist scriptures in his hand and gave his uncle a look: Am I right?My master Taoist scriptures, peerless treasure!

Uncle also gave Shi Yan a look: People who have not rested for days and nights can fall asleep when they hear the Taoist chanting sutras!
