Kaifeng Mansion's Little Boss

Su Yuan scooped up the porridge in the bowl with a spoon, blew on it, and continued to drink silently.

Seeing that the person involved was not in a hurry after hearing such a strange event, they couldn't say anything more.The main reason is that the sea cucumber porridge is so delicious, and there is a casserole of porridge bubbling and steaming, waiting for people to eat.

At this moment, if anyone is curious and leaves first, wouldn't it be a bargain for the rest of the people?After today, I don't know when I will be able to eat this kind of fragrant porridge in the future. After all, Miss Su doesn't have the time and mood to cook every day.

To elaborate on this porridge, there are not only soft and elastic sea cucumbers, but also chopped wild vegetables, diced mushrooms, and dried shrimps. The meat and vegetables are properly seasoned, salty and fragrant, and the taste is full. It also has the effect of nourishing the heart, moisturizing dryness, nourishing yin and kidney.After waking up early in the morning, the remaining drowsiness was dispelled by this delicious porridge. After drinking it, everyone felt energetic and refreshed.

Seeing that Su Yuan didn't move, the boy who sent the message knew that he had made a mistake in his calculations and shouldn't have rushed to send a message to disturb the adults having breakfast.

"Don't worry about the rest of the matter."

Su Yuan thanked the boy and gave him a bowl of porridge.

The boy was flattered and thanked him with the porridge. As soon as he came out of the house, he couldn't help but put his nose to the side of the bowl and take a sip. It was so delicious!Before entering the door, he smelled the porridge, and couldn't help swallowing secretly several times. He didn't expect that he was lucky enough to taste the porridge that tasted like a fairy. That trip today was not in vain!

"What do you think?"

Zhan Zhao saw that Su Yuan washed his hands after dinner, but he still didn't intend to meet anyone.She was very quiet, so quiet that it was inexplicably distressing.

"I'm thinking—" Su Yuan pondered, "Should I go to the temple to worship?"

Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment before he understood what Su Yuan meant.She thought that the person who came to recognize her as her daughter must be a bad person, so she didn't want to see her.However, anyone who, like her, has had the experience of being given eyeballs, and it happened not long ago, is afraid that they will have resistance to this inexplicable situation.

"I know an eminent monk who has attained the Tao." Bai Yutang said suddenly.

"Okay, please take me to meet you if you have time."

"Maybe it's not that bad. What's the secret behind it?"

Zhan Zhao feels that things should not always be viewed in a bad way, there are still many good people in this world after all.Su Yuan has encountered bad luck twice in a row, is it possible that there will be a third time?

"People, never overestimate your luck. There was once an expert surnamed Mo who told me a rule: if things have a chance of going bad, no matter how small the chance is, it will happen." Su Yuan To Zhan Zhao, "Brother Zhan may think that I am already unlucky, but in fact I can be even more unlucky."①

Su Yuan is a person who has survived under the broken rules, and his anticipation of danger is beyond ordinary people, almost forming a conditioned reflex.In fact, this situation can be explained by science. The aura of dangerous people is completely different from that of ordinary people. They emit negative energy, which can be subtly displayed in their eyes, expressions, steps, and breathing.Su Yuan is a sports student, and she doesn't know how to summarize these things in professional terms, but she has accumulated tens of thousands of experiences, and naturally formed an instinctive prediction.

Before dangerous things happen, there are often strange omens.

For example, this time, even though Su Yuan hasn't seen anyone yet, it's obviously not going to be a good thing.

The other party came to the door suddenly early in the morning, and directly sent a message to the young man of Kaifeng Mansion.From this point of view, she never considered her feelings, how much impact it would have on her if the news was not conveyed suddenly, and whether she was willing to accept it.She didn't even think about such personal issues related to her life experience, whether she was willing to let other people in Kaifeng Mansion know.The other party directly created public opinion, and with one sentence, the pot exploded, making everyone in Kaifeng Mansion aware of the situation.This is very disrespectful to her.

Furthermore, the woman claimed that her wife was her biological mother.If this sentence is true, as a biological mother, no matter what the reason is, don't you feel guilty when facing a daughter she has never raised for 17 years?If she really cared about her daughter, shouldn't this lady of status come to her door to make amends and explain herself?But no, she just sent someone under her name.

Then there are doubts about her life experience. The old policeman quickly said that her mother had died long ago. This conflicted greatly with what the woman who came to the door said.When the old policeman came to Kaifeng Mansion, Su Yuan was only three years old, and he always claimed that Su Yuan's mother was dead.The original owner himself has no memory of this.

So so far, no one knows who the old policeman's wife is, when she died, and whether she died.

There may be hidden secrets in this, but Su Yuan is not curious about this hidden secret.Freedom is the best thing, and a mother who suddenly appeared to take care of her may not be a good thing.Moreover, the ancients valued filial piety the most, and a word of filial piety could overwhelm many people.Even if the parents make mistakes, the children can only follow the rules, and if they don't follow the rules, they are wrong, and there is no place for you to be reasonable.

People can pretend for a year or two, but it is difficult to pretend for more than ten years.The old catcher is kind and honest, and everyone in Kaifeng Mansion knows it well.Then why did he insist until his death that Su Yuan's mother died early, without leaving any evidence that Su Yuan's biological mother was still alive?

All indications are that this is not a good omen.

Xu Shi had too many things on her recently, which exhausted her patience, and Su Yuan could no longer suppress her hostility.After all, she was killed from the end of the world, and she has been immersed in that killing environment for a long time, and it is impossible for her to be completely calm and peaceful.Now, she can keep quiet and silent, which is already a very good performance.

"Is that person missing today?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Of course not." Before Su Yuan could answer, Bai Yutang snorted coldly, "She just said she was the biological mother? Where can cats and dogs recognize relatives at will."

Su Yuan echoed: "Yes, no see!"

Otherwise, she was really worried that she would not be able to control her violent temper, kick people away with one kick, and directly lead to a life lawsuit.

Zhan Zhao was hesitant to say anything, but after thinking about it, it would be better for him to understand the situation before talking about other things.

If this person is really Su Yuan's biological mother, has serious difficulties, and has a good character, then it would be a great thing to have one more close relative who cares about Su Yuan.

After all, everyone felt sorry for Su Yuan's lonely life, especially Mr. Gongsun. He was afraid that she would be lonely as a girl living in Kaifeng Mansion, so he agreed to Sun He's request and allowed Sun He to live temporarily in Kaifeng Mansion so that she could live in Kaifeng Mansion. Accompany Su Yuan.Otherwise, based on Sun He's original reason, Mr. Gongsun would not allow her to stay no matter how easy to talk to.

Zhan Zhao asked Su Yuan what he meant, and after Su Yuan agreed, he went to see the woman on her behalf.

"Guard Zhan is very concerned about Miss Su." Ma Han whispered to Zhao Hu.

Zhao Hu nodded agreeingly: "Yeah, actually I'm also concerned, anyway, it's fine right now, why don't we go and have a look?"

After the two left, Bai Yutang got up and asked Su Yuan if he could leave.

"Let's go? Where are you going?" Su Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then understood the answer from Bai Yutang's eyes of "we agreed". "Could it be to go to worship Buddha and see eminent monks?"

"En." Bai Yutang's voice was low.

It turned out that he was free today.

An hour later, the two arrived at Daxiangguo Temple.

This Daxianguo Temple is the largest temple in Tokyo. It is favored by the royal family and nobles, and the incense is very prosperous.At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Daxiangguo Temple was rebuilt by fire, so the temples here are newer and more majestic than other old temples, and they are also more spacious and grand.

The person Bai Yutang recommended to Su Yuan today is the oldest and most respected Master of Discipline at Daxiangguo Temple.

The vigilant master is now even seventy years old, but just looking at his appearance, he feels that he is only in his 50s.He is very energetic, smiles often, his eyes are bright but not cloudy, and he is kind, but he also has insight into the world's wisdom and sophistication.

After Su Yuan followed Bai Yutang to meet Master Jie Xin, he heard from Master Jie Xin how he and Bai Yutang got acquainted.

Four years ago, when Master Wary was traveling, he encountered a group of bandits on the road doing evil to passers-by.Bai Yutang was only fourteen or fifteen years old at that time, and he was one of the abducted passers-by.He wanted to draw his sword and start a killing spree, so he directly dealt with all the villains.Master Jie Xin stopped him, wanting to tell the thieves the truth of Buddhism.Bai Yutang ridiculed him for being too merciful, being soft-hearted to the wicked, just like helping the evildoer.Unexpectedly, in the end, Master Ji Xin was so moved by the bandit leader that he wept bitterly, and was willing to put down the butcher knife and become a monk.

"Master is so good."

"It's just that the benefactor still has a compassionate heart, so he can be enlightened, but not everyone can do this. If he really encounters a treacherous person who doesn't hurt the lives of the people, the poor monk can only watch Bai Shaoxia make a move gone."

After Master Jie Xin finished speaking, he asked Su Yuan why he came today and what worries him.

Su Yuan briefly told Master Wary about the things she had encountered recently, and asked him if there was a way to solve the series of unlucky things he had encountered.

"If the heavy rain comes, how can we just stop it with one hand? Since it is God's will, why not let nature take its course." Master Ji Xin looked at Su Yuan peacefully, "The environment is created by the heart. If the benefactor can understand the beauty of rain, then the heavy rain will come again." What's the matter."

Master Jie Xin speaks calmly, always with a smile on his face, and exudes a faint smell of Buddha's incense, giving people an inexplicable meditation effect.

Su Yuan, who was originally in a slightly upset mood, was relieved at this moment, and his heart was at peace.

The bamboo wind was blowing slowly, with a little fragrance of green bamboo. Master Jie Xin used the bamboo leaves as tea and the bamboo body as a cup, and Su Yuan poured a cup of bamboo leaf tea.

Su Yuan sat in the gazebo of the bamboo garden, holding bamboo leaf tea in his hands, watching the lush and green bamboo forest from a distance, and reached a peaceful state of "inaction, self-cultivation, tranquility and ease".

With just a few words, a simple cup of bamboo leaf tea made her calm and free from worries.

"Master is really a master." Su Yuan respectfully expressed his gratitude.

Sure enough, he is indeed the most respected Buddhist master in Tokyo.

Su Yuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and an excellent idea popped up.If she can live with this master all the time in the future, she is also willing to become a monk like the thief leader.

Bai Yutang didn't get involved in the conversation between the two of them. He leaned against the pillar outside the gazebo, holding his sword and looking into the depths of the bamboo forest. He didn't know if he was listening intently to the chat between Su Yuan and Master Guarding, or if his mind had wandered outside.

"Can the master accept female apprentices? Maybe there are female monks living in this Daxiangguo Temple?"

After Su Yuan asked a question suddenly, Bai Yutang jumped into the gazebo.

Su Yuan didn't have time to pay attention to Bai Yutang, she was staring at Master Xin Xin seriously and nervously, waiting for his answer.

She likes this state very much, this is the peaceful day she wants most.For this reason, she is willing to give up three thousand threads of trouble. Although girls are still more beautiful with hair, but considering the advantages of not having hair: the head is cooler, it saves the need to comb the hair, and it is easy to clean... It seems that it is not so difficult to accept.

Of course, the most important thing is the Xiangguo Temple where the vigilant master is. Tian and tranquility are exactly what she wants.

Upon hearing Su Yuan's words, Master Alert first smiled kindly, and he was about to open his mouth to respond——

Bai Yutang spoke first, his voice was even a bit cold: "She has already worshiped as a teacher."

The smile in Master Xin's eyes was even bigger, and he asked Su Yuan like an elder asking a child, "Is that so?"

"What I learn is different. I worship Mr. Gongsun as my teacher, and what I learn is the ability to solve cases and autopsy. I worship Master Jie Xin as my teacher, to practice Buddhism and save sentient beings." Su Yuan hurriedly explained.

"The almsgiver is very kind, but the poor monk does not accept female apprentices, and the Daxiangguo Temple cannot leave women to become monks. If the little friend is dedicated to the Buddha, the poor monk can recommend the abbot of the plum blossom nunnery for the little friend." Master Jie Xin said this , the look in Su Yuan's eyes was somewhat meaningful.

He was already in his seventies, and he had a deep insight into the world's affairs, but he couldn't see through this female benefactor.If it is said that her mortal fate is not over, she has the heart to abandon the world, only to convert to Buddhism and seek peace.If it is said that she is sincere to the Buddha, she just wants to stay in the Daxiangguo Temple where he is, and she is actually not willing to practice Buddhism in another place.And those who truly devote themselves to the Buddha, how can they care about where the place of practice is?

Bai Yutang said immediately, "It's time to go."

"Wait a little longer." Su Yuan hurriedly asked Master Jie Xin, "Then can I, as a pilgrim, sincerely offer incense and live in Xiangguo Temple?"

Master Wary smiled, and this time he was about to speak again when Bai Yutang shot his sharp eyes over.

Master Wary still told Su Yuan the truth: "Of course you can."

Xiangguo Temple is a large monastery with special huts for male and female laymen who come to offer incense.However, there is no precedent for anyone staying permanently, but logically speaking, if a pilgrim is willing to offer incense all the time, there is no limit to the number of days that a pilgrim can temporarily stay in Xiangguo Temple.Since there is no limit, it is natural to live forever.

Su Yuan raised her eyebrows, just about to be happy——

"You must always be a vegetarian when you live here." Bai Yutang said in a cool tone.

Su Yuan suddenly realized.

Immediately, she got up and said with a smile to Master Guarding: "I'm too busy recently, when I have free time, I will come to the temple to stay for a few days, no, a day or two."

She won't be happy if she doesn't eat meat for more than two days.

This is okay without hair, but not without meat.

How could she forget such an important thing!

Su Yuan thanked Master Wary for his advice, and said goodbye to Master Wary.

Master of Vigilance: "..."

He is really old, his eyes are blurred, and he doesn't have enough insight to see.Su benefactor doesn't have the idea of ​​breaking the mortal bond, she is obviously deeply bound, struggling in the mortal quagmire and unable to get out.

Meat is just that delicious! ?

Master Wary drank the bamboo leaf tea in his cup in one gulp.

……

"That old monk is nothing special, it's just that he would bluff people when we first met, and he seems a little advanced." Bai Yutang said to Su Yuan.

"It's quite powerful, otherwise it would be famous outside." Su Yuan stopped suddenly after taking two steps, and asked Bai Yutang puzzledly, "No, you didn't bring me here because you said he was an eminent monk. ?”

Bai Yutang avoided Su Yuan's gaze, and said as a matter of course: "I just saw that you were bored in the mansion, so I found an excuse to let you take a look at the scenery of Xiangguo Temple."

Su Yuan looked around, "The scenery here is pretty good, and there are Sanskrit sounds in the temple, which have the effect of meditation. I also benefit from the words of the master of warning. Anyway, thank you!"

Bai Yutang's thank you to Su Yuan was useless, because she almost became a monk just now.

"If Mr. Gongsun knows that you want to worship others as teachers, I don't know how you feel."

Su Yuan tilted his head and looked at Bai Yutang in surprise, "As far as I know, Fifth Master Bai is not a gossip guy?"

It's all over, why mention him?

"People change." Bai Yutang kept a cold face, unmoved.

"Please let me go!" Su Yuan bowed to Bai Yutang exaggeratedly, "I was just asking casually, don't take it seriously. Although the Daxiangguo Temple is good, how can it be better than Kaifeng Mansion? In Kaifeng, everyone takes care of me like that." I, and meat, can eat whatever I want."

After Bai Yutang took a look at Su Yuan, he took out a bank note and handed it to her.

"Why did you give me money suddenly?" Su Yuan was surprised, but he took the money quickly, as if he was very afraid of Bai Yutang's repentance.

Su Yuan also found that he seemed to be getting Bai Yutang's money very easily now, and he didn't feel any shame at all, just as confident as his daughter's pocket money from her father.

"Meat money," Bai Yutang suddenly thought of something, and added, "There is also food money. But if you leave Kaifeng Mansion and find another place, this money plus the money I gave you before will be doubled to me."

"What's the point?" Su Yuan asked in surprise.

"Return it to me if you don't want it." Bai Yutang stretched out his hand to ask for the money back.

Su Yuan chuckled, and looked back at Bai Yutang provocatively.

She patted her sleeve pocket, and said in a sonorous tone: "The money in my pocket has no reason to go out, I am willing!"

Su Yuan found that Bai Yutang seemed to be in a good mood today. Not only did he give her money, but he also took her to Yaoguanglou for dinner at noon, where she ordered meat and vegetables.

Recently, her fate with Yaoguanglou is not shallow, and she is here again so soon!Su Yuan happily ordered the signature dish that he didn't eat enough last time, and once again he ate happily and satisfied.

When Su Yuan was rubbing her full stomach and feeling extremely happy, she suddenly remembered the words that the vigilant master told her, the situation is created by the heart.

It's really unlucky to be stalked by bad guys all the time, but she also gets sympathy and care from others because of this. For example, she has eaten Yaoguanglou three times now.If this is put in the past, when she was a tinkling poor fire-burning girl, she would not have dared to think about it.

Looking at things with a different mindset, the 'environment' is really different, and a bit beautiful.

On the way back to Kaifeng Mansion, Su Yuan bought two candy figurines by the side of the road.

Bai Yutang recalled Su Yuan's appetite in Yaoguang Tower, and couldn't help looking down, looking at Su Yuan's waist, which was still slender, how did she manage to let so much food into her stomach, and still feel like she hadn't eaten?

Before the two of them reached the back door of Kaifeng Mansion, they heard noise from a distance.

It can be seen that a richly decorated carriage is parked in front of the back door of Kaifeng Mansion. Besides the coachman, there are two young servants, two maidservants, and another woman standing at the back door, talking with the caretaker of Kaifeng Mansion. Together in theory.

"My wife is here in person now, why don't you send a message to tell Miss Su to come and see our wife?"

"...Our wife is her own mother, why are you so unreasonable, young boy, why are you such a bastard, let their mother and daughter be close at hand, but can't recognize each other? Don't you fear retribution for doing this?"

The janitor laughed angrily: "How many times do I have to say it before you can understand? Miss Su has nothing against you!

I sent you away in the morning, why are you here again in the afternoon.Miss Su said she didn't see her, she didn't see her. "

"How do you know if you haven't sent the message yet? We've said it all, and now our wife has come in person." The mother-in-law couldn't help it, so she took out five taels of silver and handed it to the young man, but found that the young man refused to accept it.

The old woman was very angry when she saw that the young man refused to eat, and wanted to scold him again.

At this time, a gentle female voice came from inside the car.

The old woman shook her clothes and got into the carriage.After a while, she came down and apologized to the boy with a smile.

"It was my fault just now. The tone of my speech was a bit fierce. It was because I was in a hurry. Madam has already scolded me just now. I will make a good apology to you."

The mother-in-law apologized to the doorman politely.

The attitude of the janitor also softened, and he explained to the mother-in-law in a good voice.

"I see that it's not easy for you to come twice, but it's not that I don't want to communicate with you, it's because Miss Su doesn't want to.

You probably don't know what happened in Kaifeng Mansion recently. Miss Su received eyeballs from bad guys before, and she is already afraid of strangers.Moreover, everyone in the Kaifeng Mansion knew that Miss Su's mother had died long ago, and now that someone suddenly appeared who said she was her biological mother, how could she dare to believe it casually? "

"All of these can be explained, as long as we meet her. By the way, in the morning, a young man named Zhan came to ask us about our situation. What does he do in Kaifeng Mansion? Can we invite him Make the decision, let him take us to see Miss Su?" The mother-in-law asked again.

When the gatekeeper heard that these people didn't even know Zhan's guards, he knew that they were not locals, but their accents didn't sound like they were from far away places. They should be from the counties that are closer to the capital.

Su Yuan and Bai Yutang stood behind the tree and watched for a while, then they were impatient to continue waiting.

She came out directly to tell the woman who she was, and asked her to ask the lady in the car to come down and meet her.

The mother-in-law looked at Su Yuan in surprise, her eyes revealing a hint of scrutiny.

"But how can we meet here? Our wife is a person of status, how can I just get off the car and meet people on this street!"

Su Yuan didn't bother to talk to the woman anymore, and directly said to the people in the carriage: "I'll count to three, if people don't come out, get out immediately, don't want to see me in this life."

"Yuanyuan, don't worry, I'll come down right away!"

A pair of slender white hands raised the curtain, and a beautiful woman in a vermilion brocade dress got out of the car.

She looked at Su Yuan excitedly, then quickly walked in front of her.

"Yuanyuan, I am your mother, and your father is—"

"I'm your mother!" Su Yuan retorted directly to the woman.

The woman was stunned, and her body shook for a while, but fortunately she was supported by the woman so that she would not fall down.

"You...how can you talk to me like that?"

"I will talk to you as you talk to me. Who are you, you want to be my mother? Have you ever paid me a penny?

If someone like you is considered a mother, then this should be my ancestor! "

After Su Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Bai Yutang, "After all, he gave me 500 taels of silver back and forth."

Bai Yutang: "..."
