Chapter 436 Court Meeting
Master Zhiyuan walked into the Buddha Hall respectfully lit a stick of Buddha incense, and then took the novice monks and the monks to have evening classes.
In fact, the evening class in the temple has not yet arrived.
But Master Zhiyuan couldn't wait. He needed to recite the Buddhist scriptures and wash his whole body from head to toe with Buddhism, so that he could completely throw away the words of Xie Shanren.
Bloody storm...
Can this be said in the temple?
No wonder the Buddha would be angry once when he saw her.
Master Zhiyuan thought of this and looked at the hall, instructing the monks around him: "When the day of the Dharma Assembly, the prayer flags in the hall should be kept away from incense and candles."
"Also... the Buddha's fragrance should not be too much, nor too high... When offering Buddha lamps, the wicks should be shorter and not too biased."
"In short, things like eternal lamps, butter lamps, incense burners, etc. that are easy to pour, please be careful to watch."
The monk recorded it in response.
"You also have to fill the water tanks in front and behind the hall in advance."
The monk looked at the host carefully, with a solemn look on his face and looked particularly serious. Is it because the temple where the presided was staying at was burned, so the presided was so careful?
"Don't worry," said the monk, "we will do these things during the Dharma Assembly."
"No need to be careless." Master Zhiyuan instructed again.
After saying that, Master Zhiyuan walked out of the hall.
Such a good temple can be granted the imperial edict from the court. What a great thing. Master Zhiyuan silently folded his hands together, and he hoped that the donor's family would be able to reunite.
Just as he thought of this, a thunder suddenly exploded in the sky, and Master Zhiyuan almost shivered.
...
In the meditation room.
Xie Yuyan reached out and took a bowl of plain noodles handed over by Wang Yan.
Yu's mother stood far away, just because Lord Wang understood her hard work and took over what should have been her job. But this is also great. Her eldest lady doesn't like to eat when she gets busy. She has more and more people. The stall is getting bigger and bigger, but she eats less and less. This really makes Mrs. Zhang and her anxious.
Now that someone is having dinner with you, it is naturally a good thing.
Xie Yuyan's cold symptoms had not yet subsided, and he started to boil medicine every day at home. After taking the bitter medicine, he felt that his stomach was overwhelming, and his whole body seemed to be pickled with the medicine. In addition, I have too many things to do and feel that everything I eat has no taste. Although I force myself to eat as much as possible, I still lose weight.
Wang Yan should have seen this and asked the temple for vegetarian food.
"Eat noodles first," Wang Yan said, "and eat some vegetarian snacks later."
The Zen room was not big, and there was a small table between the two of them. Xie Yuyan was fine, but Wang Yan had nowhere to put his legs, so he could only curl up there in restraint. It was really hard to see.
Xie Yuyan lowered his head to eat, and Wang Yan boiled water and ordered tea. Although he did not speak, the atmosphere did not make people feel uncomfortable at all.
Before he knew it, Xie Yuyan seemed to have become accustomed to being alone with Wang Yan.
After meeting Yiwan, she raised her head and just hit Wang Yan's gaze. There was a trace of depth in his soft gaze, calm but bottomless.
He sat upright in front of her as if he wanted to help her block all the wind and rain outside.
It’s not that he doesn’t worry about her, nor does he have no anger at the Xie family. He will take all the things related to her to heart, but taking care of her in front of him is more important than those.
So she should let her eat some food safely and think about those things.
Wang Yan was not gentle, but he hid all his sharpness in front of her.
Just let her be more relaxed and comfortable when she is with him.
There are no two people who are born to be in harmony with each other and are intimate. But in order to be with the happy people, she worked hard to restrain and change, carefully test and grasp the right position. Such respect and cherishment made her even more moved.
The person in front of her is not Lord Wang in the court, nor the priest who holds authority in the future, and those who have nothing to do with her.
Only now, his mind is really what belongs to her.
...
The water and land Dharma ceremony in Yunqi Temple was held for several days, and the temple was filled with people inside and outside.
On the last day, someone was waiting in front of the temple gate early, because on the last day, the relic box would be officially sent to the temple for worship.
Ordinary people may have only one chance to see the relic box.
When Xie Shumi's mansion was on, the carriage was prepared before dawn. Xie Chengxin and Xie Chengrang protected Mrs. Zhou and Xie Wenjing out of the mansion.
Mrs. Zhou raised her head and looked at the sky: "It's necessary to be so anxious? The Dharma Assembly will take half a day, and the offering will be at the end of Si."
Xie Chengxin said: "The first six days, my son went to the temple to read it. There were more people watching than when the official dynasty prayed for blessings. Although our family got the post, we would still be blocked outside after we went late."
"It will always be more appropriate to enter the temple earlier. I agreed with the monks in the temple to clean up a meditation room in advance to give my mother and second sister a rest."
Mrs. Zhou nodded when she heard this: "Who could have thought of it? It was just a case that would make the temple more incense."
Xie Chengxin said: "It is also because I have changed the name of the temple. If it were Yunqi Temple, I am afraid that few people will go there in the future."
"The Monk Lusi has also put a lot of effort into preserving this ancient temple."
Xie Chengrang had never spoken and moved Baode Temple to the capital, which was not something that a monk could decide. He had long thought that worshiping the relics box was not that simple. Perhaps someone had already set his sights on the temple.
The carriage moved forward slowly, and Xie Chengxin and Xie Chengrang turned on their horses.
As we headed east, there were more cars and horses on the street.
"My father may also go to the temple today," Xie Chengxin said. "Yesterday I heard my father and the others discuss matters in the study. The envoys of Xixia were going to go, and the Privy Council had to send someone to follow him."
"Because the Buddhist scriptures sought by Xixia must be transferred by the court at this time."
In the past, I had to do this at Daxiangguo Temple, but this year I changed to Yunqi Temple.
When the envoy of Xixia went there, Xie Yizhi was not the only one who accompanied him.
Xie Chengxin continued: "The official family has given enough face to Yunqi Temple."
Xie Chengrang said, "There are also new porcelains from the charcoal kilns. This time, they will become famous."
Empress monks, court officials, Western Xia envoys, dignitaries and the people in the city all gathered together, and there was no such fun at any Dharma Assembly.
Is it really a coincidence?
Even if the first-rank official in the city holds a banquet at home, he will not invite so many people.
"Brother, be careful later," Xie Chengrang said, "So many people, don't make any mistakes."
You can't cause trouble at this time.
With so many pairs of eyes fixed on them, if something really happened, don’t try to get out.
Xie Chengxin said, "I know."
When the carriage and horse arrived in front of Yunqi Temple, Xie Chengrang jumped off the horse's back and told his servants not to conflict with anyone.
After explaining this, the two brothers helped Mrs. Zhou and Xie Wenjing off the horse.
The Xie family walked towards the temple gate. Xie Chengrang noticed the situation around him. He glanced at him and saw that the group came from afar. The person in charge was Guo Xiong he had met.
