Although the common people still cannot afford to wear silk and satin, they can still afford ordinary cotton clothes. The Royal Weaving Company of the Ming Dynasty produced millions of pieces of cotton cloth every year. Although nearly 40% of these cotton cloths were sold overseas by maritime merchants, there was still a lot of cotton cloth woven during the Ming Dynasty.
Not to mention that ordinary people can buy cotton clothes at will, at least they can still afford it with grit.
When people are fed and clothed, they will not be the first to go there. Most people will choose to thank God first, followed by Lao Zhu, and then worship Buddha.
Under such a general trend, it is difficult for the incense of Tianjie Temple not to be strong!
The distance was less than a hundred feet, but Han Du and An Qing walked for more than a quarter before reaching the mountain gate.
Eight huge square stone pillars, Qi Qi Tuo raised a huge stone carved archway with a plaque hanging on it.
In the letter, there are six golden characters: "The No. 1 Zen Forest in the World".
This is the imperial list inscribed by Lao Zhu himself. It is precisely because of this imperial list that Lao Zhu established the Senglu Division, which manages the world's monks and nuns, in this Tianjie Temple.
Tianjie Zhaoti, one of the forty-eight scenic spots in Jinling, is located in Tianjie Temple.
Although Han Du has seen it more than once, he must visit it every time he comes here. Besides, An Qing has never seen her before. Since he has brought An Qing here, he will naturally not let her come in joy and return disappointed.
You can almost see the entire Tianjie Temple from Tianjie Zhaoti. Standing here and looking out, you can see that the entire Tianjie Temple is surrounded by hills and shaded by green trees. Coupled with the occasional sound of morning bells and evening drums from the temple, the majestic temple and trees blend into one, and the environment is deep and simple, making people feel like a paradise.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
When some literati stayed there, they might feel relaxed and happy, making people forget to leave; they might recite poems and compose poems with two or three friends, making them feel spiritually and spiritually ethereal.
Tourists wandering through the mountains and forests, accompanied by bursts of crisp bird song, give people a sense of openness and tranquility.
Just when Han Du and An Qing were enjoying themselves in Tianjie Temple, monk Yan Ne hurriedly came outside Zong Lai's Zen room.
"Come in." Although Zong Lai is old, he has a sharp ear and eyesight. He heard the movement outside the door and spoke.
Yan Ne pushed the door open and came in, then closed the door again and bowed to Zong Li, "President."
Zong Lai smiled and sighed in a long voice: "What do you want to do here?"
Yan Ne slowly raised his head and said, "Master, Marquis Zhenhai has arrived at Tianjie Temple. However, he has no intention of coming to see the Master. Instead, he is taking Princess Anqing to play in the temple."
It can be heard from Yan Ne's words that Tianjie Temple is very concerned about Han Du, and it is even possible that he was targeted before he entered Tianjie Temple.
Zong Lai nodded slowly when he heard this, although his expression did not change at all. But he couldn't help but feel strange in his heart, not understanding what Han Du wanted to do.
By the way, Zong Long thought that he had known countless people in his life, and even when the emperor saw them for the first time, he could tell a lot about them. Even if you can't guess all of the emperor's thoughts, you can at least guess five or six points.
But until now, Han Du was still confused. What exactly is Han Du thinking in his heart, what exactly does Han Du want to do, even if he stands in front of Han Du, he can't tell the slightest clue.
It's as if Han Du is completely different from the rest of the world.
After thinking for a moment, Zong Lai still smiled as before and said slowly: "If he wants to play, just let him play."
At the end, Zong Ling moved his lips a few times and added, "As long as you don't want to default on the debt."
After Yan Ne heard this, his expression became even more serious and he said, "What if he just wants to default on the debt?"
At that time, he thought he had extraordinary concentration and rashly accepted the bet with Han Du. As a result, his cultivation was broken by Han Du. At that time, he hated Han Du deeply. Just imagine, Han Du ruined his decades of hard work, how could he not hate Han Du deeply?
Fortunately, he was pulled back by Zong Long later, and Zong Long told him to let go of his hatred for Han Du, so that he could truly restore his cultivation and even go further.
Yan Ne listened and he did it.
But although he no longer hates Han Du, he does not have the slightest affection for Han Du.
Zong Lai still had his original smile and said, "The poor monk had no choice but to take the initiative to block him."
Yan Ne was stunned. He didn't expect that the always solemn host would actually say something to stop people. But to deal with a scheming person like Han Du, blocking people is the best way.
Han Du did not let Zong Di block the door. After playing with Anqing for a while, he came outside Zong Di's Zen room.
Yan Ne stood at the door and looked better when he saw Han Du coming. He bowed to Han Du and said, "The poor monk pays homage to the Marquis."
"Hey, Yan Ne, are you here too?" Han Du greeted with a smile, "Where is Monk Zong Lai? Is he waiting for me inside?"
Yan Ne's profound Buddhist practice couldn't help but twitch his face after hearing Han Du's words. Zong Lai was known as the best poet monk in the world, so much so that even the emperor called him "Lixiucai". When it came to Han Du's mouth, he became "Zong Lai monk".
However, Yan Ne did not hear any expression from the abbot in the Zen room, so he could only suppress his anger, lowered his head and replied: "The abbot ordered the poor monk to wait for the Marquis here. The abbot is already waiting for the Marquis inside, please!"
After saying that, he turned around and pushed open the door, signaling to Han Du.
Han Du held An Qing's hand and the two walked into the meditation room together.
Yan Ne's eyelids couldn't help but twitch when he saw Princess Anqing following her in. Then he had to hold back and let out a small sigh.
Han Du walked into the Zen room and just turned around a screen when he saw Monk Zongli sitting on a futon wearing a wide cassock, looking like a Maitreya Buddha.
"It's really trustworthy that the Marquis can come as promised." Monk Zong Lai said with a smile on his face, his eyebrows white.
Han Du was not polite, walked up to Zong Li and sat down on the futon, and also pulled An Qing over to sit down.
An Qing felt a little embarrassed when he saw Han Du in front of Zong Li as if he were at home. He quickly apologized and said: "Master Zong Li, my husband, he is used to being like this and lax. Please don't get along with him."
Monk Zong Lai smiled and bowed slightly to Princess Anqing, saying: "Princess, you are serious. The Marquis has Buddha nature in his body, and every move he makes has the intention of being a Buddha."
After hearing this, An Qing looked a little better and timidly sat down next to Han Du.
Han Du curled his lips and said: "Don't talk about such nonsense as having Buddha nature in your body. Even if you talk about it today, I will not become a monk."
"What? Become a monk?" An Qing finally realized that what Monk Zong Di just said was clearly to persuade Han Du to become a monk. But if Han Du becomes a monk, what should she do?
The slightest apology to Monk Zong Di disappeared in an instant. An Qing stared at Zong Di warily. This was a bad guy who wanted to take her husband away!
His hands involuntarily held Han Du tighter.
Han Du didn't take Monk Zong's words to heart at all. Instead, he said loudly: "I heard that the vegetarian restaurant in Tianjie Temple is good. The princess and I are hungry after running around. Why don't you bring the vegetarian restaurant quickly?"
Yan Ne, who was standing behind, heard Han Du's words and was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his head.
Have a meal? it's here?
This is the Zen room for the host to meditate. Even the host himself has never eaten here for fear of disturbing the purity of the place.
But what made Yan Ne even more unbelievable was that the host nodded to him and ordered, "Go bring some vegetarian food."
"Host, are you here?" Yan Ne asked in confusion.
It's so easy for Han Du to eat vegetarian. As long as he goes out to eat, he will give Han Du as much as he wants to eat. But why do he have to eat here?
Zong Long smiled, nodded again, and said, "It's okay, go get it."
After hesitating for a moment, Yan Ne leaned over and replied: "Yes."
After Yan Ne left, Han Du had no intention of speaking again. He didn't even look at Zong Long. Instead, he looked towards Zong Long's Zen room.
But Zong Lai's Zen room was extremely simple. Except for a big "Buddha" hanging on the wall behind him, there was not even a hair on the wall. But even so, Han Du watched with gusto.
After a while, Yan Ne came in carrying Su Zhai on a tray. But after taking a look, I didn't know where to put this vegetarian meal.
It was Zong Long who spoke, pointed in front of Han Du, and said, "Just put it here."
Yan Ne lowered his head reluctantly, "Yes."
Place the plates and dishes on the tray in front of Han Du. After putting it away, he stood up with the tray and stood by the door again waiting.
Zong Li smiled and stretched out his hand towards Su Zhai, "Master Marquis, Your Royal Highness the Princess, please try the Su Zhai at Tianjie Temple."
The vegetarian food at Tianjie Temple is very good. Although there is no trace of meat or meat, it is full of color, fragrance and flavor.
"Then I'm not welcome." Han Du was really hungry. Although Tianjie Temple has countless beautiful views, there are uphill climbs everywhere, so I was already tired and hungry.
An Qing was also hungry, but she was fine and knew how to express her gratitude to Zong Di, "Thank you, Master Zong Di."
Han Du was not so polite. He served An Qing a bowl of vegetarian food, then served himself another bowl, and ate it without restraint.
Just as An Qing picked up the bowl and took a small bite, he heard Han Du biting the pickled radish and making a crunching sound. Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she wanted to kick Han Du.
Han Du always eats quite well at home, but why does he act like a starving ghost reincarnated here? Is this vegetarian food really that delicious?
An Qing took another sip and felt that the vegetarian food tasted really good, but Han Du had not eaten it to the point of disregarding etiquette. There are no delicious dishes in the house, and there are no less than twenty kinds of food that are as good as this vegetarian meal.
