The Marginal People of Jia's Family in the Red Chamber

Hou Wanchun rested in Wan Gu Garden for a night, and his mood improved a lot. After returning, he took the time to send over the drawings of the Wanshou Palace in person. He didn't have much hope, but thought that Jia She was also an insider. What an inspiration.

Jia Amnesty is still very interested in engineering and construction, of course it is only a temporary interest. It is also very interesting to verify the differences before and after the millennium.

After the garden was repaired in the evening, Jia She put Jia Lian in the garden, mainly because Zhang Changfeng and his wife also came to help Jia She take care of the children.Next year will be the year of the Dabi, and the road in the middle of Shu is not easy to travel. It is normal to come a year in advance, like Zhang Changfeng, that is, there is a place to stay in Beijing, and there are officials and eunuchs, so it will only come in autumn.Jia Amnesty arranged for them to stay in Wan Gu Garden, which also made it easier for Zhang Changfeng to go to the Yishi Academy on the mountain to ask for advice.

In the evening, when Zhang Changfeng and his wife were talking, Zhang said, "Chan Master Bu'ai is well-known, but I never thought he was such an amiable person. You see, there are many capable people in this world, but there are not many capable and kind people." See you."

"Haha, you know again, brother-in-law is naturally good, otherwise why would my sister marry him back then." Zhang Changfeng laughed.

"Why are you still called brother-in-law?" Zhang said angrily.

"I'm also calling you Zen Master Bushe? Master Bushe?" Zhang Changfeng said in a strange voice.

"Zen Master Bu'ai has already become a monk, so don't poke his heart with secular titles. What happened back then was full of uproar in Sichuan, thousands of miles away, and it was a gossip." Zhang's main reason was that he was afraid of Jia. She is unhappy in her heart, they are all relatives, don't make others feel bad. "Also, I heard that being a monk is not blindly clean. Do you still remember the Qingcheng Mountain Taoist Temple in our hometown? Two old Taoists fought for the master of the temple, and the whole city laughed at it. Don't let those people who are jealous of Zen Master find an excuse to attack him."

"It's terrible, it took only half a day, and you let your brother-in-law buy it?"

"Bah, bah, what a bribe, you think everyone is like you, and you don't know what it means to be considerate. We're here, I don't forgive how much convenience Zen Master has done, and looking at this garden, it's not an exaggeration to call it a fairyland, but it's also convenient for you Ask Zhao Daru for advice. I just came, and all the servants in the garden have come to visit me, and the steward gave me this, you see."

Zhang Changfeng was surprised when he saw the blueprint handed over by his wife, "Is this the map of the garden?"

"Naturally, the woman in charge said that there are two large Dharma conferences for the unforgivable matter. If you can't come to guide us to visit, you can just give us the map. Tell me, how much trust is this? Others, at most, let us see it." It’s enough for a steward to lead the tour.”

In fact, what Jia Amnesty gave was just a simple map, which was the same as the three yuan one that later generations bought when they went to the park.The young couple is also young, and it is the first time that someone has looked at them like this, and they feel warm in their hearts.

"Brother-in-law's handwriting is getting better and better." Zhang Changfeng couldn't grasp the point.

"Huh, I need you to say, 'The brush strokes are vertical and horizontal, the body is healthy and ups and downs, the charm is undiminished but the realm is different; the brushwork is like a gossamer, and it can be rounded and turned freely. Although it is wild, it has the law." It can be called contemporary Famous."

"Hey, that's terrible. Didn't you hate this calligraphy the most before? You only speak good characters so that normal people can't recognize them. Now you're a changed person?"

"Go, what you showed me last time was cursive script, cursive script! Is that something that ordinary people can understand? You wrote it yourself. I guess it will take three to five months before you take it out. You won't recognize it when you wrote it. What is it. What Master Bushe said is right, the original meaning of a word is to express, as long as it can be understood by people, it is a good word. Xingkai Licao, but the form."

"Amitabha, Master Bu'ai really has the ability to teach, you, a buffalo, can understand calligraphy." Zhang Changfeng proclaimed the Buddha's name.

"Bah! I'm going to see Lian'er, go to sleep by yourself, and don't bother the buffalo." Mrs. Zhang gave him a sip, and left directly.

Jia Lian now lives in a childlike themed room. Of course, Mrs. Zhang doesn't know what a themed room is. After entering, she keeps admiring the gorgeous colors and unique shapes of this room.This is a house imitated from "Xiaoyaoyou". The roof is the giant wings of a Peng, and the bed inside is the body of a Kun. Animals such as mayflies, summer insects, and swans are all made of daily necessities with bright colors and different shapes.There are still big and small ones, the small ones are for Jia Lian, and the big ones are for entertaining guests.

"Lian'er, you're going to sleep." Mrs. Zhang knew from her mother that Jia Lian hadn't slept, so she said.

"Little aunt, you are here." Seeing Mrs. Zhang lift the curtain and come in, Jia Lian hurriedly got off the bed. His bed was shaped like a big fish, and he slept in the belly of the fish. When he got out of bed, it was like a slide. down.

"Lian'er's bed is so beautiful, what is it?" The yards Mrs. Zhang visited today are all in normal style, and she has never seen this one before.

"This is the kun. To the north of the end there is the Ming Sea. There is also the Tianchi Lake. There is Yuyan. It is thousands of miles wide and its length is called Yan. Its name is kun." Jia Lian dropped his book bag and said.

"Lian'er is really amazing, even my aunt doesn't know, what kind of book is this about?" Ms. Zhang is usually in contact with the Four Books for Women, poems, and travel notes, and she has never heard of the passage Jia Lian recited.

""Lie Zi Tang Wen", my father said this book is very interesting. But the most interesting thing is "Shan Hai Jing". There are many gods and beasts in it, and I want them all. Little aunt, tell my father and let him give it to me. Would it be good to build a yard of Shan Hai Jing, okay?" The child's thinking jumped quickly, and he was proud of his novelty of the house just now, and now he wants the Shan Hai Jing theme room again.

Where did Mrs. Zhang dare to agree to him, she just changed the subject, asked him about the things in the house, which ones had allusions, and what they meant, and coaxed him in different ways.Jia Lian also became interested, and happily introduced it to his little aunt. When he was introduced to his big bed Kun, he rolled on it and fell asleep.

After coaxing Jia Lian to sleep, Mrs. Zhang went back to the courtyard where they lived. She didn't go to sleep when she came back, but just rummaged through the books Zhang Changfeng brought.

"I said, what are you doing if you don't sleep at night?" Zhang Changfeng asked.

"I'm looking for a book."

"What book, I have to look for it now."

""Lie Zi Tang Wen", what kind of book is this, do you have it?" Zhang asked, she used to be proud of being a scholarly family, a little talented girl, but now it is a book that a three-year-old child can memorize, she I have never heard of it, and I am shocked.

"It's a Taoist book. I took the imperial examinations, and they were all Confucian classics. I brought at most two travel notes to change my mind. Where can I find them? What are you looking for?"

Mrs. Zhang told what she saw in Jia Lian's yard, and sighed: "It's not as good as a three-year-old child who knows so much. It's too embarrassing. No, I have to buy a copy of Shan Hai Jing tomorrow to see Lian'er's appearance." , I am very interested in Shan Hai Jing, if he comes to ask me, I don’t know, but I will lose my position.”

"Okay, okay, it is said that the wind is the rain, children have a big forgetfulness, maybe they won't remember tomorrow, so don't worry about it first, after driving for such a long time, you finally settled down, you don't want to take care of yourself. sleep?"

Mrs. Zhang was persuaded to go to bed, lay down and tossed and couldn't fall asleep, suddenly stood up and said, "What if I really build a house for Lianer's Book of Mountains and Seas, what should I do, I'd better read the book first."

God, Zhang Changfeng really wanted to bury himself in the pile of quilts, pretending that he didn't hear anything, Mrs. Zhang must have been driven crazy by a three-year-old child.Zhang Changfeng pressed Zhang's and said, "It's impossible for my brother-in-law to build it for him, sleep."

"Why?"

"Sleep, I'll tell you tomorrow morning." Zhang Changfeng said harshly, he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes.

Of course, Jia Amnesty would not build Jia Lian a themed room for the Classic of Mountains and Seas. The Classic of Mountains and Seas is full of mythical beasts. The most representative one is the Nine Sons of the Dragon, which are dedicated to the royal family or have their own grades.Also, if there is some kind of winning fish, if there happens to be a flood somewhere, coupled with the magic stick attribute of a monk, it is guaranteed to cause another disturbance.

Zhang Changfeng and Mrs. Zhang lived in Wan Guyuan, and Jia She was also busy with his puja.

Mrs. Zhang got up early the next morning and went to see Jia Lian first. When she went there, Jia Lian hadn't woken up yet. Mrs. Zhang saw that there was no couch or quilt for the maid to stay overnight. The steward's nanny called to inquire and beat.

"Back to Uncle and Wife, my master's rule is that no one is allowed to go to bed at night, and the servants and maidservants sleep outside on duty."

"Even so, you have to pay more attention, don't let Lian'er find no one when she wakes up at night."

Mrs. Zhang sighed a few words, as expected, there are still many rules that are different, at least it is the first time she has seen the themed room of Happy Journey when she grows up.

After saying a few words outside the room, Mrs. Zhang heard the rustling noises inside, opened the curtain and said, "Lian'er is awake."

"Good morning, little aunt, why are you here?" Jia Lian asked sleepily.

"Come and see Lian'er, tell Lian'er to have breakfast."

"Ah and~" Jia Lian yawned and said, "Come right away."

Mrs. Zhang immediately came over to dress him. Jia Lian said, "Little aunt, Lian'er can do it by himself."Mrs. Zhang turned her head, and explained to the nanny next to her, "Young master can already dress himself, and you won't let the servants serve you."

Of course, for washing and the like, the girls still need to serve him.

After tidying up and describing, Mrs. Zhang led Jia Lian to the dining room, and asked him on the way: "Is Lian'er afraid of sleeping alone?" Mammy accompanied.

"Don't be afraid, I have this." Jia Lian pulled out a pendant from his clothes.

Mrs. Zhang bent down to look, but didn't see what it was, and asked, "What is this?"

"It's the bodhi child. Daddy opened it before. As long as I carry it on my body, Daddy can sense me. I'm not afraid of it!"

"Yes, Lian'er is really capable."

"Today is the second day. Dad said that if I can last for five days, he will bring Bai Ze to see me."

"Who is Bai Ze?" Mrs. Zhang asked.

"Bai Ze is a divine beast. 'The Yellow Emperor patrolled the East China Sea, and Bai Ze came out to know the essence of all things, so as to warn the people and prevent disasters.' I also want a Bai Ze, so that I can know the things of the whole world. See full Books from all over the world, and if Dad asks me, I will know everything." Little Jia Lian stuffed the pendant back into his clothes, took Zhang's hand, and walked bouncingly to the dining room.

Mrs. Zhang received another knowing blow, and she became more determined to buy this book of Shan Hai Jing.

The three nephews and uncles had breakfast, and Zhang Changfeng went to Baofeng Mountain to ask the teacher. He had already sent a post to Master Zhao Yishi yesterday.Mrs. Zhang went on to arrange the gifts they brought out from Sichuan, and then went to visit relatives and friends.Jia Lian, his only task is to play~ Jia Lian is directing two beasts to fight, and the big girl who is with Zhang is going to call him, saying that someone is visiting.

Jia Lian put away the toys, and when he came to the living room, Mrs. Zhang was already entertaining the guests through the screen.Jia Lian yelled "Uncle Chun~" and rushed up. Hou Wanchun laughed loudly, and hugged Jia Lian for a few circles before he stabilized himself.

Hou Wanchun was also kind. He heard that Jia She had a Fa conference recently and he was too busy. Thinking that Jia Lian had no one to rely on in Wan Guyuan, he wanted to come and see him.Unexpectedly, there were still guests in Wan Gu Garden, and there was only one female family member who could entertain guests.

When Hou Wanchun came, Wan Guyuan's servants finally followed the rules and led Hou Wanchun to the guest house first, and explained the situation to him on the way.

Mrs. Zhang also lamented that Jia Amnesty would train people, and the servant of Wan Guyuan had a wink and said: "Back to uncle and grandma, Uncle Hou is a close friend of the master. You don't need to report when you go in and out on weekdays. If you are at your own house, now Uncle Hou doesn't know that uncle is not there. Come to visit, you see?"

"Please take a seat, Mr. Hou. Go and carry a screen, and I'll be there right away." Mrs. Zhang ordered, and the servant has already made it very clear. , compared to what I said were relatives, in fact, the first time we dated was much closer, and I entertained Hou Wanchun very graciously.

When Jia Lian arrived, the two sides had just made an opening speech to warm up the scene.Since there was only one female family member, Hou Wanchun felt inconvenient to stay longer, so he said goodbye, "When Marquis En is not here, Hou will resign. There is only one matter, and I will discuss it with Mrs. Zhang. Lian'er is fine in the garden. I just happened to be going to Tanzhe. Temple, how about taking Lian'er with you?"

"This... Lian'er, do you want to go?" Mrs. Zhang didn't dare to be Jia Lian's master, not to mention that it was normal to see her father.However, when Mrs. Zhang heard about Hou Wanchun for the first time, she firmly believed that the servants would not lie to her, but if something went wrong, how would she explain to Jia She?

"I'm going!" Jia Lian replied immediately, and then stopped talking, adding, "I still won't go."

Hou Wanchun asked, "What's the matter, Lian'er and your father are angry?"

"Lian'er won't be angry with my father!" Jia Lian pouted her mouth and muttered, "Lian'er has promised her father that she won't go to him for five days. You promised to bring Bai Ze to see me!"

Hou Wanchun thought, this is something that Jia She can do. He must be afraid that Jia Lian would disturb him; he also knew Jia Lian well, so he didn't ask who Bai Ze was, but said: "Lian'er is really good, if you can do it, Uncle Chun also wants to reward you for coming, okay?"

"Don't be shy, I have jade in my room, why do you still have to listen to it? I want to be cunning, I still have its portrait!"

"Okay, we have to be cunning!" Hou Wanchun readily agreed, anyway, it's just a puppet or a puppet, and only Jia Lian, who believes in mythology, wants to emphasize the difference between them. Hou Wanchun, who participated in the manufacturing process Apparently, it's all a pile of fabric and wood.

Hou Wanchun put Jia Lian down, resigned from the Zhang family, and went straight to the Tanzhe Temple in the front mountain. Tomorrow is the first day of the three-day Dafa Conference. Today is the final preparation work. I think Jia She is very busy.

Hou Wanchun entered the mountain gate, without the little novice leading the way, he found Jia She's courtyard by himself.

"Hey, didn't you say there will be a Dafa meeting? I think those little masters speak three minutes faster than usual, why are you being lazy here?" Hou Wanchun saw Jia She who was meditating under the tree as soon as he entered the door.

"Sit." The two knew each other very well, and Jia Amnesty pointed to the futon opposite him for Hou Wanchun to sit on, and then poured a cup of tea and put it on the low table.

"It is said that Buddhism is a pure place. If you want me to say, there is no third kind of purity in this world other than being isolated from the world and sleeping forever!" Jia She said.

"Why, you were excluded again?" Hou Wanchun said normally.

It only took Jia Amnesty three years to become the most famous scripture lecturer in Tanzhe Temple. Looking at the scenery, the people in the temple also rejected him very much.

Most of the monks in the temple were born in poor families. At this time, cutting off kinship and damaging hair and skin are all helpless things. It is not like Jia She, who came from a wealthy family and came to compete with them for jobs.

The famous monks in the monastery are all tens of years old. Because they were born in poverty, they only learned to read when they came to the monastery, and they only became familiar with Buddhist classics at that time.All the experience is spent on doing homework, and less miscellaneous learning.Even a lucky person, who grew up in a temple and studied since childhood, can't be as open as Jia She.

The more popular Jia Amnesty became among the believers, the less people in the temple liked him.

The only thing that makes Jia She still willing to stay here is that the monks in Tanzhe Temple are very personable, and they also have the compassion of monks. Their exclusion is that they don’t talk to him. He looked at him with resentment and jealousy, but he didn't say any bad words, after all, there were rules in the temple.

Abbot Ruyin of Tanzhe Temple took him in back then, and Jia She had a lot of affection for Tanzhe Temple, and he didn't want to leave unless it was absolutely necessary.

"It can't be regarded as crowding out. Brother Buwu is in charge of the logistics of the temple, and he is now directing the monks to arrange tomorrow's venue. I won't watch his commanding level and cause trouble for myself. I just come back and meditate."

"Haha, if it comes to strategizing, who can compare to you in this Tanzhe Temple!" Hou Wanchun laughed, after all, his family has a long history.

"Well, it's a good joke."

"Yo, what's wrong with me, you can't even make fun of me." Hou Wanchun joked.

"Hmph!" Jia Amnesty got up and went into the house, only leaving Hou Wanchun behind.

Hou Wanchun didn't know why, so he followed and sat down in the living room. Jia She came out with a blueprint from the back room and handed it to him.

Hou Wanchun took it, looked carefully, and said in surprise, "You figured it out!"

This is the drawing of the Wanshou Hall that Hou Wanchun gave him before. Jia She drew the construction drawings and renderings for the decoration in the hall, and wrote out the solution to the Zhending Pagoda. Hou Wanchun was really surprised when he saw it.

"Good guy, the people from the Ministry of Industry have been thinking for three months and have not come up with any results. Fortunately, you have finished the thing in ten days. Are you looking down on me, a doctor from the Ministry of Industry?"

"Well, I'm despising you, Mr. Doctor who has been despised, please return the poor monk's blueprint." Jia Amnesty made a gesture to go to the blueprint.

"Ai, ai, let me see what's going on." Hou Wanchun dodged vigorously, "How can you be sure that this is the style of 700 years ago?"

"It's not the style of 700 years ago. According to the Queen Mother's preference, it's enough to toss it in the ancient style. As long as the Queen Mother is satisfied, she said that 700 years is 700 years. It's no use for others to criticize. To prevent someone from being a ghost, here, here, and so on." There are stone steps in the main hall, these few places are actually verified, and the others are just imagination."

"How dare you think about it!" Hou Wanchun sighed: "Then what about the restoration of the Zhending Pagoda? Don't tell me, you also thought about it?"

"You can straighten the tower just by thinking about it, so go ahead and think about it." Jia Amnesty rolled his eyes and said.

"Okay, okay, my fault, I shut up, please enlighten Zen Master Bushe."

Jia Amnesty explained to him several plans for changing pillars, Hou Wanchun is also an expert, it was just a joke, the two clapped their hands and laughed when they talked about the wonderful things, and they blushed when they talked about the differences, they were very happy.

"Oh, you, you should have come to the Ministry of Industry." Hou Wanchun sighed, there are six rankings in the imperial court: officials, households, rites, soldiers, and criminal workers, but if you do anything to the extreme, you will be looked up to.Those who can and dare to dislike the Ministry of Industry must be of high authority. You are a low-ranking official and you are transferred to the Ministry of Industry. You are still laughing silly.Therefore, Hou Wanchun's words are purely lamenting that Jia She is a talent in engineering construction.

"As long as I'm good at talking, I'm still comfortable in the wild, otherwise, even if I build a garden, I have to be careful."

"Forget it, I can't say no to you. I took the blueprint away, and it won't work if I just say I don't do it. I'll go back and discuss with the craftsmen to see which plan is better." Hou Wanchun has been with Jia She for a long time, and he also pays special attention to practice. , will not underestimate the real construction workers.

"Well, come find me again if you need anything."

"It's up to you!" Hou Wanchun said without being polite to him, "Let me remind you, five days have passed in a blink of an eye, and you still owe Lian'er a Bai Ze, hurry up."

"It's already done, I don't have time to do this at the Fa conference." Jia She said.

Hou Wanchun went out, turned his back to Jia She and waved, signaling him not to see him off, but to leave in style.
