Chapter 1321 Willing to be an ugly girl 48
This daughter is extremely smart, and judging from her daily behavior, she is also deviant.
Regarding these words, Fujiwara Michichi could only smile bitterly.
Xining finished the apple and threw the core into the brazier nearby: "Okay, let's get down to business. Why did my father want to be a monk?"
"It's a renunciation!" Fujiwara Michizhang corrected him: "Didn't you say you didn't object?"
"I don't object, I'm just curious." Xining looked around and said, "Father is just sitting here, and he is not taking charge of the affairs of the court. Could it be that Prince Atsushi said a few words and made his father feel that the Fujiwara family Is there any danger?”
After thinking for a while, Michinaga Fujiwara replied: "Actually, I have long wanted to become a monk, but my health has been poor. I also asked to resign from all my posts before, but I couldn't leave at that time. In the past few days after I came back, my health has become worse and worse, so I simply Just take advantage of this opportunity.”
The poor health was due to lead poisoning and unreasonable diet. After becoming a monk, many nobles only lived a simple life, but their health improved and they lived a long life. Therefore, among the nobility, in addition to wearing terrible makeup, getting sick, and dying young, they are monastics.
My clean face looks a bit funny, but my eyebrows haven’t grown yet, but at least I no longer use lead powder.
Xining exhaled slightly: "Actually, you don't need to become a monk. You can live in my village, and my daughter will prepare delicious food for you every day."
Nozomi Fujiwara shook his head: "No! Takashi, I can't be like you as a father. As the daughter of Nozomi Fujiwara, you can do whatever you want and live the life you want, as long as you can withstand the opinions of the outside world. But I can’t. I am Michio Fujiwara. Even if I resign from all my posts, I will still be Michio Fujiwara.”
This meaning is a bit difficult to understand, but you can understand it if you think about it. Even if Michinaga Fujiwara resigns from all his posts and retires, he is still a noble. The hair needs to be shaved and the teeth dyed, and the face needs to be painted white.
Otherwise, you will be laughed at and look slovenly. This affected the reputations of several Zhonggong and Donggong officials in the palace.
Xining nodded: "Well, let me take care of it, father. It is said that the third brother has caused trouble again. Anyway, even if he becomes a monk, he will inevitably mix with the secular world."
The third child, who is also in his twenties, was deceived and became a monk. As he grew older, like other noble princes, he went around looking for flowers. The last time he was a minister's aunt, this time he directly reached into the royal bloodline and had an affair with a married queen (the prince's daughter). If it weren't for He is the son of Michinaga Fujiwara and must be killed.
Michichi Fujiwara couldn't help but laugh: "This unlucky boy."
"Then father, please pay homage to Buddha, and send your daughter some food when she is free."
Xining asked: "Can we still eat fish?"
"A monk cannot kill any living being."
"If I don't tell, no one will know. So what if I know?" The third brother is not Hua Monk.
"Well, you can't do this. You can't kill. Since you're a monk, you'd better not kill." Nozomi Fujiwara smiled bitterly. He still had faith.
"I know." Xining stood up: "I'm going to make something first, tell my father what he wants to eat, or offer something to the Buddha. Anyway, the Buddha doesn't actually need to eat."
Michichi Fujiwara stared: "Can't you stop being so disrespectful?"
"Father, what I said is the truth. If it is the truth, it is not disrespectful." Xining clasped his hands together, looking extremely pious: "I believe in Buddhism. All women in the palace must believe in Buddhism. People who believe in Buddhism, She is compassionate. No matter where she is, her daughter will pray for everyone in the palace. It seems that a room in the village will be cleared for worshiping Buddha."
Fujiwara Michio smiled and grabbed a cushion from the side and threw it over: "You are such a bastard, hurry up and make something to eat." Xining walked out, and Mrs. Renzi knelt there and asked with an earnest look: "Mr. Michio How? ”
Xining crossed his hands on his lower abdomen, looking like he was in a peaceful mood after practicing Buddhism, and said gently: "My father has converted, Mrs. Lunzi and everyone please come back first."
After speaking, he turned to the house steward who had been waiting for a long time and said, "Get the kitchen ready. I want to cook a vegetarian meal for Master Xingguan."
Walking and watching... fasting... Mrs. Lunzi fainted.
"Madam, Mrs. Lunzi..." A group of concubines hurriedly scrambled, and then watched Mrs. Lunzi being carried back by her maid.
Looking at Miss Fifth, she has already gone to the kitchen.
They glared at each other and then dispersed. Some people realized sooner or later that Mrs. Renzi fainted at the right time. Her entrance and exit were very high-profile and well-reasoned. She was taken away when she fainted, not by herself.
I regret a little. Why didn't I faint at that time? The main reason is that I didn't expect that Fujiwara Michichi really wanted to become a monk and he wanted to carry out the monkhood to the end.
After the time of two sticks of incense, the fasting meal was ready, and one table was sent to Mrs. Renzi's place, and the other table was sent to Mrs. Akiko's place. There were two tables left, and Xi Ning asked someone to take them to the Buddhist hall.
We sat face to face with Mr. Fujiwara to eat again. This time, Mr. Fujiwara ate from a bowl by himself. He took a bite of the vegetables and nodded: "Sure enough, the food made by Hua Zunzi is the most delicious. It's so delicious."
When it comes to delicious and beautiful things, he is never stingy with words and speaks directly.
"I will teach the cooks here to cook it for my father." Xining picked up a piece of old tofu, showed it and put it into his mouth: "It is deep-fried and then cooked thoroughly with soybean paste. Just this oil and Tofu is not something that ordinary poor monks can afford.”
Priest Fujiwara smiled: "After entering the temple, you will have to wear cassocks. The cassocks have been prepared and embroidered with fine gold thread. The monks' robes are not as cumbersome as court clothes, so it will be much easier in the future."
This is the reason for becoming a monk. Apart from not being able to eat meat and having fewer people to serve, everything else is pretty much the same.
Compared with being free from lead poisoning, you can live longer this way.
There are nobles who eat yellow rice and are laughed at for being stingy. Sometimes we are so helpless. If we don’t want to follow the crowd, we have to leave the circle. Or find a reasonable reason to appear to be out of the circle.
After finishing the meal, a cup of tea was handed to him. Mr. Fujiwara sipped the tea and looked at the five girls in front of him. I couldn't help but ask: "Do you really plan to do this for the rest of your life? You won't be able to get married if you do this."
Hehe, if you can't marry, you can't marry. If you insist on dyeing your teeth and making a pale face, it will still be like the previous plot. After giving birth to a child in your twenties, your physical strength will be exhausted. Even if you can survive the process of giving birth, chronic lead poisoning will kill you before the age of thirty.
Mrs. Renzi and Mrs. Akiko can live long lives, which is already an outlier. It is also due to their usual habit of drinking tea and supplementing their diet with other foods.
But after all, it is a consanguineous marriage, and the children born will become weaker and weaker. Even if the body owner obtains the longevity gene, he can only live past the age of forty at most.
No, don’t live so short. It would be good to live for a long time and eat well and drink well.
