Wu and Zhang supported Mo Qianlan and walked around the bamboo garden together to the official residence.
When the servants in the official room were scooping hot water, Zhang Gongfeng was at the side holding bath beans and face towels at the right time, without Mo Qianlan opening his mouth, let alone Wu Jin reaching out.
Wu Jin stood aside, completely useless, but he was still very alert in case he missed any of Mo Qianlan's words.
The three of them left the official room. Mo Qianlan asked Wu Jin as they walked: "Several wealthy families in the city gave you money, fields and houses, why didn't you accept them?"
Wu Jin replied: "The sage said, 'Unrighteousness and wealth and honor are like floating clouds to me,' and the same is true for students."
Mo Qianlan sneered: "pedantic."
Wu Jin was speechless for a moment and could only remain silent, but Mo Qianlan pondered for a long time and suddenly said: "Ah Shu..."
He originally wanted Wu Jin to take good care of Ah Shu, but when he opened his mouth, he suddenly felt that this situation seemed familiar. It seemed that when he went to Kyoto many years ago, the Cheng Taishan brother and sister were also so worried, and the rest of his words became unlucky. stand up.
Even if you don’t tell him, he can trust Wu Jin.
Wu Jin heard the word "Ah Gu" and guessed that he wanted to take care of Mo Lingfeng by himself, so he nodded vigorously.
Zhang Chongfeng didn't hear Mo Qianlan's whisper amid the sound of silk and bamboo, and asked, "What did you say?"
The three of them had already reached the bamboo garden. Mo Qianlan pointed to a small stone statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sitting on a blue lotus in the bamboo forest: "I said there is a Buddha statue here."
The bamboo leaves in the forest were withered and yellow and fell to the ground. They were about a finger deep. It was a withered scene. It was a dark night and there was no light. He didn't reach out and no one could tell that there was a Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva enshrined here.
Only Mo Qianlan and the Cheng family could know where the stone statue was without looking.
Because the robe of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva hides the soul of the Cheng family daughter, Mrs. Mo. She is married and can no longer place her spirit in the Cheng family. Mo Qianlan cannot bear to have her alone in the Mo Mansion, so she is the one closest to Cheng. In the inner house of the family, a small stone Buddha was built for her to listen to sutras.
In front of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, someone was enshrining a volume of the Lotus Sutra. Mo Qianlan suddenly remembered the scripture he had heard: "I am arrogant and conceited, and my flattering heart is not true. For thousands of billions of kalpas, I have not heard the name of the Buddha, nor have I ever heard of it." It is difficult for people like this to listen to the true Dharma."
He is so slanderous and has an untrue heart, and he will surely fall into Avici Hell one day.
Just as Zhang Gongfeng was about to step forward to take a closer look, Mo Qianlan withdrew his gaze and whispered, "I have a headache. Let it go."
The deer singing banquet comes to an end.
Cheng Taishan left Mo Qianlan to wait. He sent away his students and colleagues first, then took a long red lacquer box and opened it for Mo Qianlan to see.
The box was lined with soap-colored brocade cloth, and inside was a white, smooth, crack-free, seven-inch long antelope horn.
Cheng Taishan closed the lid and handed it to the entourage who came with Mo Qianlan. He said in a low voice: "Li Yitie said that antelope horns can calm convulsions and convulsions and are very beneficial for epilepsy. He also said not to bring any black hair. I found it." It took several years to buy it, and if you grind it and eat it, you will live a few more years."
"Thank you," Mo Qianlan smiled, "I won't die for a while."
His eyes shone brightly, and he quietly showed a bit of vicious fangs, but it passed quickly without anyone noticing, and it immediately returned to deathly silence.
"I want to set up a Gongshi Village in Kuanzhou," he thought, "so that students don't have to worry about anything."
Cheng Taishan's eyes lit up: "This is a good thing! What kind of regulations? You tell me, I will handle it."
The next day, Mo Qianlan, the governor of Kuanzhou, felt Wu Jin's ambition to study diligently, and built Gongshi Zhuang to rest and support his studies. Each time he gave out a solution test, he was awarded 300 taels of silver for the solution yuan and 200 taels for the deputy solution. The remaining winners will receive one hundred taels of silver.
As soon as this policy came out, Kuanzhou's love of learning became unparalleled. The small elementary school was suddenly overcrowded. Both those who liked school and those who didn't liked school were troubled. The teacher was also miserable - there were too many people, and when it was time to go to class, , there was a "buzzing" sound in the elementary school, and it was forbidden again and again.
Even Wu Yi was inspired when he saw the three hundred taels of silver delivered to his home, and worked hard for a while.
Only Wu Jin and Cheng Ting were not affected at all.
Especially Cheng Ting, who was busy without touching the ground. First, he found the eldest sister of the Cheng family and sold himself a set of jadeite twelve-month order boys at a low price, and got eighty taels of silver. If the eldest sister of the Cheng family opened a pawn shop, she would definitely be able to seize the land. Scrape off three points.
Cheng Ting went to see the eldest brother of the Cheng family again and wanted to sell him a gilt nine-ring ring. He said it was an antique and got it from the Mo family's warehouse. The eldest brother of the Cheng family did not lower the price and readily paid for it. However, he turned around and told Cheng Taishan.
Cheng Taishan was worried that Cheng Ting would cause trouble, so he called two of his followers and asked them to keep an eye on Cheng Ting's movements.
Without knowing it, Cheng Ting sold several of his beloved things one after another, including the somersault figure from Huqiu. Together with a few coins of his own savings, he collected 480 taels and exchanged them for Banknote, on September 19, I made an appointment with Mo Lingfeng to meet at the corner gate of Mo's house that evening.
When the time came, he quietly went to the corner door of Mo Mansion and saw that Mo Lingfeng was waiting for him there. He immediately opened his sleeve pocket and showed her the banknote inside.
"Let's run," he whispered to Mo Lingfeng, "first take the official road to Jeju, and then take a boat from Jeju south to Shuzhong. When we have enough fun in Shu, let's take a boat south to Huzhou."
Mo Lingfeng took out a few thin banknotes, counted them carefully, and stuffed them back into his sleeve pocket.
Cheng Ting fastened his sleeve bags and patted his chest: "I didn't even tell Wu Jin. I guarantee it will be perfect."
"I do not go."
Cheng Ting was so angry that he wanted to open her head and see what was inside: "Do you think Kyoto is good? I heard from my father that my uncle went to accept an errand as a military governor and almost lost his life!"
He tugged on Mo Lingfeng's sleeves hard: "Silly dog! Do you know what it means to be suspicious of a king and his ministers? Are you planning to die?"
Pulling Mo Lingfeng away from the corner door, he dragged him forward: "I am too delicate and can think clearly about such things. When I escape this storm, I will send you away——"
He looked at Cheng Taishan who had appeared behind him at some point, shouted, let go of Mo Lingfeng's hand, took three steps back suddenly, stumbled with his left foot and his right foot, fell to the ground with a clang, and rolled. .
"father……"
"You are my father!" Cheng Taishan roared angrily and incoherently.
To be fair, Cheng Ting's thoughts were naturally valued by Mo Lingfeng, but by Cheng Taishan, they were only worth a beating.
If Cheng Ting really wanted to take Mo Lingfeng away, he and Mo Qianlan would immediately have to shout "Eighteen years later we will be a good man again".
Two Cheng family confidants stepped forward to hold Cheng Ting down, twisted their arms, and led him all the way to Cheng Taishan. Cheng Taishan was about to beat him, but Mo Lingfeng suddenly said: "Brother Cheng in-law, don't beat him. "
She and Cheng Taishan were of the same generation, but because she was young, people often treated her as a junior and loved her. At this moment, she stopped Cheng Taishan seriously and pleaded for Cheng Ting. Cheng Taishan saw this and felt sad in his heart. He felt that she was cute and cute. Pitiful.
It would be better if such a good child was not born in the Mo family.
"Okay, I won't hit him, I'll restrain his feet."
"Then you'd better hit me."
"Shut up!"
Cheng Taishan waved his hand and violently turned away the wailing Cheng Ting. Mo Lingfeng stood at the corner gate, watching a lone goose flying south, thinking: "How pitiful."
