Chapter 1220: The Pearl of the Sea (I)
Li Cheng is in Cangzhou, hundreds of miles away from the capital. A few days after Li Nuo's letter was sent, Li Cheng rushed back from Cangzhou.
In front of Gao Taijun, Li Cheng behaved obediently, as if he was an underage child. He is already smart, and he has been by Gao Taijun's side for a few years, so he knows the preferences of the old man, and he naturally has his hands on it when he coaxes the old man.
Gao Taijun has believed in Buddhism for most of his life, and knows that his limit is approaching, not only banning meat, but also using very few vegetarian dishes, just drinking a few mouthfuls of porridge every day, and drinking water at other times.
She used the guise of fasting, and everyone persuaded and persuaded her, but to no avail.
She has a strong surname and a high seniority, and for a while, many juniors of the Li family are not easy to persuade each other.
But if the old man really wants to take the surname, then there will be even fewer Shouyuan left.
Li Nuo is embarrassed, should he tell the Cao Mansion that the old aunt and Mrs. Li know, and ask the old lady to take the idea. As a result, Li Cheng came back, knew about it, and said that it was on him.
Li Nuo knew that the old lady loved Li Cheng the most, so he handed it over to him to persuade him.
Li Cheng did not directly advise, but told the stories of believers and laymen he heard from the people to the elderly.
"There is a Quanshan Temple in Cangzhou, and there are several monks who have attained Taoism, and they have also done a dojo outside. In the year that his great-grandson was in Cangzhou, he also made friends with several local gentry. Among them, there is a man named He Qi, whose old father is a layman. The old man was riddled with diseases, and the medicine stone was ineffective, so he pinned his hopes on the Buddha in exchange for a glimmer of life. Although he did not shave his degree, he could serve the Buddha sincerely, chanting more than once and later, and said that he would pity the poor and cherish the old, and the Buddha had a spirit, which really made the old layman alleviate his pain. When the old monk died, several masters from Quanshan Temple went to He's house to send He Qi to his life. The old man went to the Western world as he wished, and even several masters praised the old man's hard-willedness, which enabled him to escape from the cycle of worldly reincarnation. Li Cheng did not avoid life and death in front of Gao Taijun like the rest of the Li family, but mentioned the old things in Cangzhou in a relaxed tone.
Because of the relationship with Buddhism, Gao Taijun really listened to it with relish.
"Afterlife?" The old man muttered to himself, his expression a little sad.
Li Cheng nodded and said: "It's the death of the Buddha, Buddhism pays attention to cultivation, that old monk and the Buddha and the fate, only to get the blessing of the Buddha, one step earlier than the disciples of the Buddha, go to the Buddha to listen to the sound of the Dharma." ”
When Gao Taijun heard this, he didn't feel happy, but frowned slightly, revealing a little worry.
Seeing this, Li Cheng squinted slightly.
"If there is no help from a monk, will that old monk still be able to die?" Gao Taijun asked with a little hesitation.
Li Cheng said: "When the opportunity comes, the Buddha will come to overtake." Those eminent monks are just helping them, and the key is to see the cause and effect of the old layman's cultivation. Cause and effect have arrived, even without the help of a few eminent monks, it is time to transcend reincarnation and transcend reincarnation. ”
What Li Cheng said was not all made up, some truths Gao Taijun had heard of before, but he didn't think about it, so he didn't pay attention to it.
Now that Li Cheng has a nose and eyes, and the cause and effect of the Buddhism that Gao Taijun had heard before, Gao Taijun's expression fell into confusion and struggle, and finally showed a little helplessness.
The next time, although Gao Taijun still did not eat vegetarian dishes, he drank half a bowl of porridge. When I was hungry after a meal, I also drank almond tea to pad my hunger.
The Li family breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Nuo and the Quan couple were even more surprised.
The whole family just admired the little uncle's power and could persuade the stubborn old man with the surname to change his mind. Li Nuo was so curious that he couldn't help but look for Li Cheng and ask the reason.
"When my great-grandmother was alive, I once asked my grandfather if he complained about his great-uncle and grandfather. I was there at the time, and the two elders only took a nap for me, and they didn't avoid me when they spoke. I remember clearly, the ancestor sank for a long time, and he was resentful, but he did not regret marrying his great-uncle and grandfather, but the relationship between husband and wife in this life was too short. Even when I was a child, I could hear the melancholy in my ancestor's words. She also said that she was guilty and had to work hard to atone for her sins, otherwise she would have followed her great-uncle and grandfather and the underground. Li Cheng said.
When Li Nuo heard this, he became more and more confused, and said, "What does this ancestor have to do with fasting or not fasting? ”
"Although the ancestor has believed in the Buddha all his life, he is still reluctant to jump out of reincarnation, but it is for his great-uncle and grandfather." Li Cheng said: "As for sins or anything, I don't know. At that time, I was also puzzled, but I also knew that the secret matter related to the elders was not for us to inquire about as juniors. In addition, I was young at that time, and I forgot about it in a few days. It wasn't until now, seeing the ancestor like this, that the younger brother remembered the past. Li Cheng replied in detail.
Although Li Nuo is also curious about what the "atonement" in Gao Taijun's mouth is, now is not the time to explore this...... * Qingfeng Hall, Flower Hall.
At the invitation of his colleagues in the guard office in his early years, Cao Hao did not go back to his house directly, but went to Qingfeng Hall for a banquet.
Due to the recent complicated errands of the household yamen, Cao Hao was not easy to leave, and it was already Youzheng (six o'clock in the afternoon) when he arrived at Qingfeng Hall.
It's the ninth day now, and it's getting dark early.
In Qingfeng Hall, there are already red lanterns of all sizes, revealing a bit of festivity.
However, when Cao Hao entered Qingfeng Hall, he felt that something was wrong.
The colleagues of the past have arrived almost there, and they are sitting in the seats, greeting each other in twos and threes.
These people are all from the imperial guards, and now some of them are in Beijing, some are in the localities, and most of them are powerful.
Today, they gathered together because of the invitation of Heshan, who was the deputy capital of Manchuria under the Zhenglan Banner at the time, to come to Heshan to warm his birthday.
Beside them, it is not the maid serving tea, but the beautiful lady who is greased and powdered, wearing gold and silver, holding the cup.
In such a cold weather, they were wearing light silk satin, but fortunately, the table was placed in the room, and it was warm as spring, and it was not so cold that the beauty would not freeze.
Cao Hao took a general look, and among the dozen or so former colleagues at the banquet, almost everyone received one by his side, even Nalan Fusen, who has always been loyal and honest. Only Heshan was beside two of them.
At this time, everyone has already discovered that Cao Hao has arrived.
Although Cao Hao's identity is not the highest among the guards, and his grade is not the highest, he is young and has a bright future, and everyone stands up to greet him with joy and sincerity.
Seeing everyone like this, Cao Hao was a little embarrassed, and said: "I was delayed on the road, I came late, and I ask you for forgiveness." ”
Heshan smiled: "Although we are not in the household department, we have also heard the cumbersome errands of the household department, who can find fault with it?" ”
Nalan Fusen also said: "It's only six o'clock in the afternoon, if Fu Ruo is not late, we have only arrived for a while. ”
In front of the birthday star, Cao Hao had to say a few auspicious words to congratulate his birthday.
These beautiful girls in front of them, looking at their dress, are the same as the good family.
But Cao Hao doesn't regard them as good families, after all, he has been in the office for many years and has been treated with such leniency.
"Suspected of forming a party, collectively scooping and remembering", these words suddenly poured out of Cao Hao's mind.
The emperor just attacked the Tong family, and the case of the Cha family snowballed bigger and bigger, but these uncles didn't shy away for a while, and made such a fuss.
Haven't you heard the word "sticky pole"?
Cao Hao only felt that his brain was full of black lines, Heshan had already leaned over, approached Cao Hao and said: "If you don't have to be suspicious, they are not registered, no matter how confused I am, I will not let everyone suffer because of this." It's just a joke, if Fu thinks it's inappropriate, just say it. ”
Heshan said frankly, and the other people were not less interested, and Cao Hao would not be so disappointed, so he had to say: "The guest is as good as the host, and the guest is as good as the host." ”
Everyone re-entered the table, and on Cao Hao's right hand, there was also a beauty holding a cup.
At the age of fifteen or six, petite and delicate, with fair skin, she is the best of the twelve beautiful girls at the banquet today.
According to Heshan, this woman's name is Miao Niang, and she is a Hunan girl.
The Hunan woman is amorous, and between her eyebrows and eyes, she is also gentle and sweet, but she is different from other women in the banquet.
During the banquet, the other women were flattering and respectful, only the slender lady had a faint expression, two feet away from Cao Hao, and the wine and tea were all in order, and there was no intention of stepping forward to stammer.
In this way, Cao Hao is also much more comfortable.
Because everyone is from a martial arts background, there is no such thing as a vain head, and when they eat wine, they are also bold.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone was a little drunk.
Except for Cao Hao and Nalan Fusen who were unmoved, the others mostly teased and teased the beautiful girls around them. Hugging veneers is all ordinary. There were two wine-strong ones, pouting with big thick lips, arching back and forth on the face and neck of the beautiful lady next to them, which was really not the same.
Nalan Fusen felt that it was a bit too much, so he whispered to Heshan and persuaded him in a low voice.
Heshan is tonight's birthday star, and after being poured a few rounds of wine by everyone, his tongue is also a little big, and he said with his tongue straight: "Big brother, don't worry...... There is no chaos, they are all big men, and there is no shortage of women in the family, so they can control their crotch ......"
Seeing that he didn't listen to persuasion, Naranfusen had no choice but to sigh.
Cao Hao was also a little unable to sit still, and on the table next to him, a drunken man snorted, and his body was already chrysalis.
Although he didn't take off his clothes, the scene was really unbearable.
Seeing this, Cao Hao regretted coming to the banquet with some regrets.
More than ten years have passed, and everyone's lives are different, and they don't know what to say except for mentioning old things.
Although he regretted it in his heart, after all, he had some friendship with Heshan, and Cao Hao couldn't leave first, so he could only wait for the end.
Nalan Fusen saw that Cao Hao was not in the group, so he found a reason, and the two went out of the flower hall together.
Qingfeng Hall is one of the famous restaurants in Haizibian, today Heshan Bao, except for Cao Hao's group, there are no other guests, so there are a lot of free boxes.
Cao Hao and Nalan Fusen found a guy to lead the way, and found a private room to sit and eat tea.
"These guys, most of them are in the army, and they are all trained with burning knives, and they don't look like they eat and drink." Nalan Fusen Road.
Cao Hao shook his head with a smile and said, "Wine is a color matchmaker, that's what I said, this is not a civil or military ......."
While they were talking, they heard a noise at the door......*......
