"Young supervisor Zuo and Shilang Yan just said in person that Zhao Chun's "Longevity Picture" cannot be compared with the young master of the Li family, and the other party is several years younger than Zhao Chun. Could it be that the generation of the Li family Is it true that a monster has appeared?" During the chat, the guests all showed surprise when they talked about what happened just now.
Zhao Chun was ambitious at a young age. Although he did not achieve any dazzling achievements in the imperial examinations, his calligraphy and painting are outstanding. He is well-known in Kyoto, leaving his peers far behind.
Of course, Zhao Chun is still too young and inexperienced to be able to compare with real masters like Zuo Qiu and Yan Zhang. However, a younger hero overwhelmed Zhao Chun in painting and calligraphy, and Zuo Qiu admitted I'm not as good as myself—other than monster, everyone doesn't know what other words to use to describe him.
In the big family, it is actually a good thing that such an evildoer appears, whether it is for the spread of fame or the continuation of the family, it can be of great help, but the situation of the Li family is different. It disappeared twenty years ago, and now the second master of the Li family is in power. If the younger generation of the Li family is as mediocre as ever, in the end no matter what, even if the family will decline, the position of the patriarch will still be passed on to the eldest son of the second family.
At this critical moment, the eldest grandson of the Li family, who can be called a monster, returned strongly. The old lady's attitude was unclear. Who would be the next head of the family
These -- certainly not things they should worry about.
A person with an exquisite mind can feel the undercurrent of calm from the gloomy face of the housewife.
The Li family has already declined, and the Fang family is not easy to get along with. I don't know how they will end this family matter.
Whether it is undercurrent or not, Li Yi is not very interested. He is thinking about another thing at the moment.
At the beginning, I made an appointment with the old monk. After the old woman's birthday, someone from Hanshan Temple would go down the mountain to learn Buddhist scriptures. In order to obtain the truth, Xuanzang went through ninety-nine and eighty-one hardships and traveled hundreds of thousands of miles. , suffered so much suffering, was put in a steamer by all kinds of goblins countless times, and was almost steamed with steamed buns. Only then did the merits and virtues be consummated—the old monk was only delayed for a few days for the manuscript, and this scripture was still too easy to get.
The local evil in the capital will come to whatever he thinks. Just when Li Yi was hesitating to wait for a few days, a huge bald head appeared in his sight.
At the same time, the surrounding guests also felt that the surroundings seemed to be brighter.
"That is… "
"Master Sandalwood Seal, that is Master Sandalwood Seal!"
"Why did Grandmaster Sandalwood come here? Is it also to celebrate the old lady's birthday?"
…
…
Among all the guests, a disharmonious bald head suddenly appeared, which was very eye-catching. If this bald head was a well-known eminent monk in the capital and had received royal courtesies many times, it would be difficult not to attract attention.
There are countless Buddhist believers, and there are also many devout believers in the venue. How can there be no reason why they don't know the Sandalwood Master of Hanshan Temple
After receiving the servant's report, the old lady didn't dare to delay, and immediately greeted her. First, she performed a Buddhist ceremony respectfully, and then said: "I didn't know that the master was here, but the old lady couldn't greet her from afar. Sorry."
At this time, the Patriarch of the Li family, Li Mingze, could only stand aside and had no part to speak.
With a signature smile on his face, the old monk said: "Old lady, you don't need to be too polite. I came here just to celebrate your birthday. I don't have anything long, so I will make a small gift. I will copy a copy of the "Diamond Sutra" and give it to my wife. .”
A young monk behind him immediately handed over a quaint wooden box, and the sandalwood master handed it to the old lady with both hands.
Not to mention the full house of guests, even everyone in the Li family was dumbfounded when they saw this scene.
Grandmaster Tanyin is a famous eminent monk. He practiced Zen and enlightened Taoism on weekdays. It is very difficult for ordinary people to meet him. Even if the royal family and nobles want to see each other, they have to make an appointment in advance. In comparison, the small Li family, It's really not worth mentioning.
But this is the Li family, but Master Tanyin came here in person, just to celebrate the old lady's birthday. Who dares to call the scriptures copied by Master Tanyin a small gift? For a small family, I am afraid that it will be confessed and passed on to the family.
"Master, take your seat quickly." The old lady was also shocked and surprised. She didn't dare to neglect, and she personally led the old monk to the main seat. The old monk insisted on only sitting next to the old lady, and Li Mingyuan sat there with a wink. to another table.
The guests couldn't stop looking at this side. Except for the Queen Mother's birthday, Grandmaster Sandalwood was invited, and I haven't heard of the master celebrating anyone's birthday. What can the Li family do
And it seems that the master seems to have great kindness towards the Li family.
Although Buddhism never participates in secular affairs, no one will ever underestimate them because of this. Master Tan Yin personally celebrated the old lady of the Li family's birthday, and when it is spread out tomorrow, it will definitely cause a disturbance in the capital.
"Go quickly, and replace all this table with vegetarian dishes." After Master Tan Yin took his seat, Li Mingze immediately ordered the servants behind him.
"No need..." Master Tan Yin smiled, and said: "Today is the old lady's birthday, I will give you a small gift, and I will leave soon, my little friend."
"Little friend?" Li Mingze was stunned, and everyone at the table showed doubts on their faces.
The old monk stood up, signaled the old lady to ignore him, and walked straight in a certain direction.
How could everyone really ignore him, and looked over.
"Don't be impulsive, now is not the time!" Li Yi held Miss Liu Er's sword tightly, and if she ran to learn martial arts with the old monk now, the old lady's 60th birthday would be ruined.
"Little friend Li Yi, I came here uninvited, and I hope you don't blame me." Under the eyes of everyone, the old monk walked over slowly and said with a smile.
The little novice who was following behind the old monk originally followed behind the old monk step by step. When he raised his eyes and saw the beautiful woman in front of him, his face suddenly turned pale, showing a little panic, and hurriedly stood on the other side.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, but the master's demeanor is still the same..." Li Yi thought about the scriptures, and said something indiscriminately, thinking that this old monk is still an eminent monk, why is there no certainty, isn't it two days before the date of submission of the manuscript?
"The copying of the scriptures has not been completed yet, Master, don't worry, I will send someone to the temple when the time comes."
The old monk smiled and said: "This matter is not urgent. I just think that my friend has a deep connection with Buddhism. If there is a chance, it would be a pleasure to have a debate with him about Buddhism. Although Hanshan Temple is small, there will always be friends." of a place."
Li Yi doesn't know whether the Buddha's relationship is deep or not. He only knows that if the old monk wants to argue with him about Buddhist rituals, he has thousands of years of experience accumulated by countless predecessors. Not even becoming a monk, and since then there has been one less eminent monk in the world—this is a great sin, and the number of levels of pagodas built is not enough to pay off the debt. It is better not to do this sin.
"Hehe, Buddhist rites are not based on arguments. When it comes to Buddhist principles, the master should go to other eminent monks."
Li Yi always felt that this old monk also wanted to fool him into becoming a monk, and he was so courageous that he dared to make Ruyi a widow. Even if Ruyi didn't do anything, Miss Liu Er would chop off his bald head and play as a ball.
When Li Yi was discussing with the old monk whether he had a predestined relationship with the Buddha, he didn't realize at all that the atmosphere around him began to change a little bit.
Just now I was wondering why, as Grandmaster Sandalwood Seal, he came to celebrate the old lady’s birthday in person, but now that the master and that young man are talking happily, I still don’t understand, the two should have known each other for a long time of.
The old lady celebrates her birthday every year, why didn't I see him come once, it is true to celebrate the old lady's birthday, but I am afraid that the main purpose is that young man.
Didn't you see that the master just exchanged a few words with the old lady and then went straight over there
The whole capital city and even the entire Jing country are probably the only ones who can be called the "little friend" of the sandalwood seal master.
Who is this grandson of Li's parents? Before, the "Longevity Picture" overwhelmed Zhao Chun, and later made the sandalwood master condescend to celebrate his birthday. Is this really the child of the Li family who has been living abroad for twenty years
"this… "
As the head of the Li family, Li Mingze was at a loss when faced with such a situation.
If Grandmaster Tanyin is neglected, it will be bad for the Li family's reputation if it spreads out, but Grandmaster went there by himself, should he go there and invite him back
At this time, the old lady said: "Go and invite Yi'er and Master over here."
Grandmaster Tanyin has a noble status, no matter what the master thinks in his heart, as the Li family, it is still not good to neglect him.
Watching Li Mingze get up and walk over there, Fang lowered her head, clenched her fists, and her teeth were about to be crushed.
I wanted to borrow Zhao Chun's "Longevity Picture" to make him a joke at the old lady's birthday banquet, but I didn't expect it to become a stepping stone to his fame. The coincidence turned out to be self-defeating, and more people noticed him. And the appearance of Tanyin monk pushed everyone's attention to him to a peak.
If things go on like this, even her stubborn husband will think that he is the right candidate for the next head of the Li family.
Fang's face was gloomy. The current head of the Li family is his husband, and the future head will definitely be her son, and no one can take it away, let alone Li Minghan's son, even if Li Minghan comes back to life, he will never think about it!
"Li Shilang's kindness is appreciated by the old monk. The old monk's gift has been delivered, and I will not stay for long. I will leave here. There is no need to give it away." The old monk took the young monk and left. As quietly as he came.
"Yi'er and me, come here." Master Tanyin left, but Li Mingze had no intention of letting Li Yi stay here anymore. Regarding Master Tanyin, he himself, including the old lady, still had a lot of questions to ask him.
"Ruyi, you come with me too." Li Yi grabbed Miss Liu Er's arm and decided to take her there together, saving her from always staring at the direction where the old monk left, afraid that if she turned around, she would mention it. He chased after him with his sword, and fought the old monk for 300 rounds in the name of practicing martial arts.
Li Mingze didn't say anything about it. This Second Miss Liu is deeply loved by the old lady, and the old lady will only be happy if she goes there together.
The little fat man watched Li Yi go over there enviously. His elders were all sitting there. If they sat there-the ones who could move their chopsticks first.
Originally, he wanted to sit safely in the corner, but after being disturbed by the old monk, seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Li Yi knew that even if he wanted to be safe, he couldn't be safe.
"Xiao Yi'er, what's going on with you and Grandmaster Tanyin?" Sure enough, as soon as he sat down, my sister-in-law asked gossipingly.
Li Yi was depressed, and the question was very unlevel. What could he have with an old monk, and he said helplessly: "It's nothing. When I went to Hanshan Temple with my grandma last time, I happened to meet Tan Master Yin, after chatting for a few words, I don’t know him very well, and I don’t know why he came to the house…”
It's inconvenient to tell them about the scriptures, that's all Li Yi can say.
"Is that true?" The beautiful woman looked disbelieving, thinking of the situation just now, how could the two of them not just "chat for a while".
Li Yi nodded and said: "Master, that's it. I like to pay attention to a fate method. Master Tan Yin once said that I have a fate with Buddhism. Maybe it's because of this reason..."
The beautiful woman frowned, and said: "Why is it related to Buddhism? The eldest brother is only your son. You can't cut off the incense, even if you are the master of sandalwood printing. You should go to temples less in the future. Your second uncle will transfer you soon." When you arrive in the capital, your family has already sent someone to pick up your wife. She is already twenty years old and doesn't even have an heir. This matter must be done quickly..."
Hearing Li Yi's words, Fang's heart moved, and she raised her head and said: "You can't say that, being able to become acquainted with Master Tanyin is a blessing that can't be cultivated in a few lifetimes. My nephew must seize this opportunity. It is also beneficial and harmless to our Li family."
Fang's face looked like he was thinking about the Li family, and hoped that Li Yi would better stay in the temple and not come back. The Li family would not let a monk be the head of the family.
"What?" Li Yi ignored Fang's words, and the family sent someone to Qing'an Mansion to pick up Ruyi. Why didn't he know when it happened
If Ruyi came to the capital, what's the point of him going back, living with Ruyi
Sister-in-law Li Anrong looked at Li Yi, and said reproachfully: "You said you, the old lady's 60th birthday, as a granddaughter-in-law, there is no reason not to come. When you think about it, the day lily is cold, and the old lady has already sent someone to come After leaving Qing'an Mansion, if it wasn't for the rain that delayed the trip a few days ago, I'm afraid I've arrived in the capital by now."
Faced with sister-in-law's accusation, Li Yi was speechless for a while.
How can he put it this time, when he came to the capital this time, he didn't intend to stay for a long time at all, he just wanted to take the place of the original owner of this body and come here to have a look, and then go back and have a baby with Ruyi...
Who would have thought that after coming here, so many things happened again, the original plan was completely disrupted, and now they even brought Ruyi here, their own plan—what else is there to plan!
