Surprised, he looked back and saw a monk was talking to Luo Qianqian, and the two were standing not far away, blocked by Peach Blossom.
"What if the peach tree doesn't survive?" Luo Qianqian clasped his hands together and asked curiously.
The monk smiled and said: "The peach trees here are well taken care of. Although the flowers bloom late due to the cold climate on the mountain, they will eventually bloom. The peach trees with the hearts of all benefactors will not die. .”
This kind of defrauding thing like the ever-burning lamps commonly seen in modern temples can really defraud a lot of money. Listening to Luo Qianqian asking the price of one tree, Ji Man immediately understood why there were still five empty trees.
There are many fools, but few fools can make so much money.
Ji Man walked through the peach blossom forest with his head down, thinking whether to go out and say hello to Luo Qianqian, or just sneak away
Passing by a peach tree inadvertently, there seemed to be something engraved on the trunk, Ji Man glanced at it, anyway, there were many other people's names on it.
It turned out that this tree was engraved with Nie Sangyu.
Ji Man was stunned, crouched in front of the tree and looked at it for a while, then sneered, turned and left.
That mark has been engraved for a long time, presumably someone went up to the mountain to pray for blessings a long time ago, and engraved it on a whim, there might be Wen Wan's, Liu Hanyun's, Qi Siling's maybe.
After walking two steps, Ji Man turned back again, squinted his eyes and searched for the trees around the "Nie Sangyu".
There are no other familiar names.
Ji Man pursed her lips, feeling a little funny in her heart. If this was carved by Ning Yuxuan, it could only be carved when he raised his house to pray for blessings last time. What does it mean to leave her alone in the capital to face the sudden disaster of the Nie family at that time, and to carve letters affectionately on this mountain
She really doesn't understand the feelings of the ancients, and Ji Man wouldn't believe Ning Yuxuan's sincerity. There may be likes, but comparing her and his great career together, she will definitely be thrown out of the three Pacific Oceans.
She didn't want to have any emotional involvement here, let alone any emotional involvement with Ning Yuxuan. If she falls in love with a man like Mo Yuhou, she must be the one who gets hurt.
Shaking his head, Jiman exited Taolin through another exit. Behind him, Luo Qianqian was seriously engraving Zhao Kaifeng's name on the tree.
In the evening, everyone held candlelight to talk, and wrote some Zen poems around the most respected old monk in the temple. This is a good show for everyone in the club, but Zhu Yurun is obviously not good at it, so nervous that his hands were sweating, he glanced at Qian Yingchen several times.
Qian Yingchen didn't look at her, but wrote on the small note in his hand.
Sitting on the other side of Zhu Yurun, Ji Man wrote a sentence casually, looked at her empty letter, couldn't help but take it and write one for her, then stuffed it back calmly.
Zhu Yurun nodded gratefully.
Everyone had to recite the poems they wrote. Qian Yingchen didn't expect Zhu Yurun to write anything, just a few sentences would be nice. Just after dinner, Xiao Tianyi also came to ask him why he married Miss Zhu's family. In the eyes of everyone, it was a big loss for him to marry Zhu Yurun.
Among the wives who were traveling with her, except for Qianqian, who was ignorant and friendly to Yurun, the rest of them looked at people with squinting eyes. Zhu Yurun has neither talent nor looks, so he really doesn't deserve to come to this party.
It's just that if she stays at home, maybe he will see a pitiful bullied bun when he goes back. Thinking about it this way, it might as well bring it.
The master opened his eyes, and began to take a look at the small letters in everyone's hands. After seeing several of them, they didn't say a word, but after seeing the small letter in Zhu Yurun's hand, his eyes lit up.
"Xing Lai Mei goes alone, the victory is empty and self-knowledge. Walk to the poor water, sit and watch the clouds rise."
"This female benefactor is quite open-minded and unrestrained." The master returned the small letter to her, clasped his hands together and recited a Buddha's name: "Rare, rare."
Everyone was a little surprised, Qian Yingchen took Zhu Yurun's letter and looked at it, then looked up at her frowning.
Zhu Yurun felt a little guilty, and subconsciously leaned towards Ji Man.
In the end, he didn't shrink back halfway, and was pulled back by Qian Yingchen: "Sit down for me and don't move."
After the small letter was circulated for a week, the eyes of the ladies looking at Zhu Yurun became a little gentler. After all, it is a group of talented friends, and talent is the most important thing.
Zhu Yurun shrank her neck and said nothing.
Ji Man's letter was taken over, the master muttered a few words, and even laughed out loud: "I once thought that being too sentimental would damage the holy life, and I was afraid that I would not fall into the city if I went to the mountains. The world is safe with the Dharma of both perfections, and I will not fail the Tathagata and not fail the Qing." .”
"This benefactor is really a person in the world of mortals, even if he is a monk, he is also a passionate monk." The master smiled for a long time, looked at her with burning eyes and said: "It is really a good poem, the benefactor's sweetheart must be really alluring , so that the benefactor can compare it with the Tathagata."
Well, Jiman also liked this poem by Tsangyang Gyatso very much. He clasped his hands together and bowed back to the master: "There are so many worlds in the world, I can't let go, it made the master laugh."
Ning Yuxuan looked at the poems on the small note, and glanced at her with a half-smile.
Ji Man didn't squint, and continued to look at the others.
"Don't let the Tathagata live up to you, who is your sweetheart?"
The moonlight was beautiful, Ning Yuxuan walked with her in the corridor, passing through the rows of rooms to go back to her own room. Mumbling along the way, he finally couldn't help but ask such a sentence.
Ji Man gave him a disgusted look, curled his lips and said, "Anyway, it's not Lord Hou, so don't worry about Lord Hou."
"Really?" Ning Yuxuan was not angry at all, looking at the moon in the sky, said indifferently: "People who don't agree with what they say will suffer the pain of five thunders according to the rumors."
"Oh, then let the storm come more violently." Ji Man made a gesture of embracing the sun, then retracted, yawned and said, "Master Hou, sleep on the floor tonight."
Ning Yuxuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "In this place, if you sleep on the floor, you will catch a cold."
"Then I'll sleep, I'm in good health." Ji Man entered the room and began to make the bed.
"Just hate me like that?" Ning Yuxuan sighed helplessly: "I won't do anything to you."
Three big lies of men: I love you, she's just a friend, and I won't do anything.
Ji Man rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "I don't sleep well, I'm afraid of offending Lord Hou, so I ask Lord Hou to hold you up."
Ning Yuxuan chuckled, and really lay down on the bed, watching Ji Man spread two layers of cotton wool on the floor, and then covered it with a thick quilt.
To be honest, it was still a bit cold, but when she met someone like Ning Yuxuan who had no manners, she didn't expect to be able to switch back to sleep, just a different bed, nothing else was important.
The two of them didn't talk all night, and when Ji Man woke up the next day, he was already on the bed.
Her waist and shoulders were pressed by someone's arms, no wonder she dreamed that the sky had collapsed last night. Ji Man looked at Ning Yuxuan who was still sleeping next to him with a cold face, got up, stepped over him and got out of bed, put on his outer robe, and opened all the doors and windows. The morning cool breeze poured in, directly waking Ning Yuxuan awake.
"It's all turned on." He was sleepy, his eyes were a little dazed, and he looked a little cute.
Ji Man smiled slightly: "It's time for Master Hou to get up, isn't he going down the mountain today?"
Ning Yuxuan turned over and faced her with a flat mouth: "Don't you like this place?"
Why should one like a temple? Ji Man couldn't understand: "I prefer my own house."
Ning Yuxuan's eyes couldn't find the focal length for a while, and he said blankly: "The last time I came here to live, I felt pretty good, away from the mundane world, and I can't find any troubles on my head."
"You are trying to escape." Ji Man smiled half-heartedly: "Your Majesty should go back to seek government affairs in his position. There must be a lot of things to be busy."
If she went back, she would have to live far away from him, deal with some businessmen every day, so tired that the blackness in her eyes was getting thicker
Ning Yuxuan snorted lightly: "It's hard to come out, let's stay a little longer. By the way, the autumn harvest in Huainan is said to be good today. Although many places have poor harvests this year, there are also many places that have good harvests. The court will soon Release grain, stabilize grain prices, how much grain do you have left?"
She actually cared about her business? Ji Man pursed her lips, and replied honestly: "The food is sold out in time for the good times. Part of the autumn harvest was confiscated by the court, and there should be some left over, so I can sell it for a few months with peace of mind."
"En." Ning Yuxuan nodded: "Let's go back tomorrow."
tomorrow? Ji Man frowned, she thought it would only take a day to come to this mountain, so tomorrow she made an appointment with Mr. Tang from the household department to have dinner together. Recently, there is a lot of competition in grain banks, and the relationship between the top and bottom naturally needs to be managed even more. Naturally, giving gifts to superiors is indispensable.
"Is there a question?" Mo Yuhou's smile subsided, and he looked at her seriously and asked.
Ji Man shook his head. Compared with Mr. Tang, this master was obviously more offended.
With one more day of free time and no need to read the accounts, Ji Man is also happy. A group of men in the club occasionally talked about state affairs together, and she listened.
At noon, everyone felt that the vegetarian dishes were tasteless, so they decided to go to the mountains to hunt some wild game and roast them outside. Of course, this job still has to be done by men.
As a "man", Ji Man honestly helped get the crossbow and followed behind Mo Yuhou.
There are wild rabbits in the mountains, Ning Yuxuan shot an arrow and pierced the rabbit's head, Ji Man was startled and frowned.
"What is this expression for?" Ning Yuxuan pouted and said, "Don't tell me that you still sympathize with your own food, you are not a woman."
Ji Man took the rabbit and put it in a cloth bag, and muttered, "I don't have one."
"It's good if you don't have one." Ning Yuxuan saw the hare again, picked up the bow and crossbow to aim at her, and said to her: "You must be ruthless to your opponent. If you are too kind, then you should be hungry."
Is this teaching her a lesson? Ji Man snorted softly, she naturally knew all this.
When going down the mountain, they were supposed to go home after entering the capital, but Ning Yuxuan said: "How about going to Ji's Food Shop for a meal together?"
