Chinese dining table

Chapter 111 What is the smell of people

They didn't come to see Juhuang, nor did they come to see Da Ci'en Temple, but to come to see the large donation monument of Juhuang's merits and virtues at the door.

The inscription was personally written by Lu County Magistrate of Wannian County. It clearly stated the cause and effect of the construction of the giant phoenix, and re-expressed the achievements of Empress Wende's mother's tribute to the world.

The final name was written by Lu Changming, the county magistrate of Chen Wannian County.

At the bottom of the article, all the sages from all walks of life who donated money to the construction of the giant phoenix are engraved, how much they donated, how they donated, and where the money was used, all written clearly and clearly.

There is no such-and-such name, such-and-such lord or such-and-such name on the list above, and there is not even a man's name except the county magistrate Lu Changming's name. The ranking is completely based on the amount of donations. As for Li Chang Yunchu, Fangzheng Liu Yi's name is not worthy to be engraved on it at all.

In order to prevent some people from having poor eyesight, the characters are engraved very large.

Yunchu hadn't reached the crown yet, so when facing a group of women, he didn't pay too much attention, especially when I heard that Yunchu was still a student of the imperial court. The way the women looked at him finally stopped looking at a dog.

"Madam Lu, please look, the Xumizuo under the giant phoenix is ​​carved from the best boulder in Zhongnan Mountain purchased with the money obtained from the sale of my wife's hairpin ring. The gleam of Yingying, coupled with the top craftsmen in Chang'an working day and night, I finally lived up to my wife's entrustment, and placed my wife's admiration for Queen Wende here."

Mrs. Lu was obviously dissatisfied, pointing at Juhuang and said, "Whose money did Juhuang use?"

Yun Chu smiled and said, "It's money from the government."

Mrs. Lu, who heard that she didn't use her personal money to build the giant phoenix, but exchanged jewelry for a Xumizuo, finally became happy. Obviously, her money was spent on the position closest to the giant phoenix, which is very face-saving.

"Very good, you are so organized and promising at such a young age." The old lady Lu praised Yun Chu casually, and passed under Juhuang to go to Da Ci'en Temple to worship the Buddha.

When passing by the merit box, he glanced at Liu Yi, who was smiling like a pug, and asked the steward of the inner house to throw golden beans into it, and then, surrounded by a group of people, he set foot on the clean road to Da Ci'en Temple.

Along the way, I didn't meet a single irrelevant idler, let alone stain the skirts that almost dragged the floor with dust, and I didn't see any little beggars with all kinds of poor and weird faces, which caused many old women to pay attention to Jinchangfang. Very satisfied with the management.

With Mrs. Lu taking the lead in giving money, the people behind formed a routine, one by one, they lost money before entering Jinchang Fang.

A large group of nobles went in, and then some unreputable women wanted to go in too, their hands were shaking when they threw three copper coins into the merit box, but they still insisted on going in to worship the Buddha regardless of Liu Yi's obstruction.

After everyone who was supposed to go in went in, Di Renjie, who was standing in the distance watching the excitement, came over, lifted the merit box and shook it, weighed it, and said to Yunchu: "Based on what you get today, you can earn fifty dollars a month." Making money is not difficult."

Yun Chu said angrily: "Is it appropriate to talk about these dumb things at this time?"

Di Renjie looked up at the giant phoenix about to fly, and then at the resplendent Da Ci'en Temple not far away, nodded and said: "The smell of Aduwu is everywhere here, which is somewhat refreshing.

Tell me, how much of the money you donated is left over?I'd better plan the usage carefully. "

Yun Chu sighed and said, "All of it has been spent on the construction of Fangmen and some surrounding projects."

Di Renjie blinked his eyes three times when Yunchu spoke, and said in satisfaction: "Thirty percent? That's not bad, so I still have [-]% of the money that I can spend on other things.

What are you going to do next? "

"Continue to make an article about the Da Ci'en Temple, make this good article full, at least let these old people who are dedicated to Buddha have a place to eat fast and chant Buddha through the wall of the Da Ci'en Temple."

Di Renjie nodded and said: "The snacks in your family are really good, and you can use the name of Jingshe to sell meals, not only avoiding the jurisdiction of the eastern and western cities, but also not paying taxes, how much you earn, how much you pocket, wonderful .”

When Di Renjie weighed Yunchu, he never hesitated to think badly of him, so he still thought that he overestimated Yunchu's character.

"There are not many places where you can build a monastery, and the opposite of the residence of the four disciples is a very good place.

You let the female family members of these high-ranking families live opposite the students of the four schools. Do you have an attempt to make a fuss about the female family members of other families? "

Yun Chu looked at this scumbag coldly and remained silent.

Di Renjie said again: "I live in the room with plum blossoms on the wall and the "Humble Room Inscription", but the window is not big enough, I hope you can enlarge it for me, when summer comes, I want to be in front of the window Brew tea and recite poems."

"I never thought that you are such a person." For the first time, Yun Chu felt that Di Renjie was not a good person.

"When I was six years old, I listened to my father's judgment through a curtain. So far, I have heard and witnessed no less than a thousand cases. Many cases seem to be the same, but they are actually very different.

In the courtroom, I have seen a lot of scandals in the world, and I have seen a lot of joys and sorrows, and I am used to seeing stubborn people in the world.

There are many bad people who smell like bad people. In some cases, I don’t even need to ask, but I can tell which is right and which is wrong just by sniffing.

So, we can actually see each other honestly, without having to hide. "

Yun Chu looked at this Di Renjie who claimed to be able to sniff out villains with his nose strangely, and couldn't help asking curiously, "What's the smell on me?"

Di Renjie shook his head and said, "You smell very strange, the only smell you've ever seen in your life."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "It's not surprising, I often scent my clothes with cypress seeds."

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Do you know why I like being with you even though I obviously don't like you?"

Yun Chu also finds it strange that the process from the two of them's acquaintance to the present has not been pleasant, and he doesn't understand why they can still get along with each other.

"I saw the meals of your servants. They were full. I also saw their clothes. They were warm. The shoes on their feet were new. The scars on their hands, feet, head and face were old. When they laughed Not only the face is smiling, but also the eyes are full of smiles.

What does this mean? It means that you have never treated them harshly, and they are very satisfied with their current life.

In Jinchangfang, there is a family named Zhou with four members. There is only one man in this family who is disabled because he is missing two legs.

One day, I saw this crippled man sitting on a new wooden wheeled cart, looking up at the pine tree above him. Whenever a pine needle fell, he would pick it up immediately, not daring to relax for a moment.

I asked him why he waited for the pine needles to fall in the cold winter, and he replied that the chief of the village did not allow a single pine needle on the road.

When I heard that, I was furious, and I was going to settle accounts with you. It is inhuman that you are so harsh on a disabled person.

Unexpectedly, the cripple begged me not to look for you, and said that as long as he didn't let the pine needles fall on the ground, you would give him thirty qian and two buckets of corn at the end of the month.For the thirty money and two buckets of rice, he was willing to stay under the pine tree and wait for the pine needles to fall. Only in this way, his stupid wife and two children could be fed.Therefore, he didn't feel that waiting for the pine needles to fall in the cold wind was suffering. Compared with the hunger and cold of the whole family, the suffering in front of him was nothing.

After talking with that cripple, I suddenly understood what the smell on your body is like. "

Yunchu laughed loudly and said, "It's still Bai Zixiang, I take a bath all day, so there won't be any bad smell."

Di Renjie looked at Yunchu's eyeballs and said word by word: "You exude a human scent, which is what a person should exude!
Just because there are so few people exuding pure human flavor in this world, it made me forget this smell that should be the most familiar. "

Yun Chu laughed loudly and said, "Don't you think I'm a villain now?"

Di Renjie shook his head and said, "It's not surprising that a villain has a human smell, and it's not surprising that a gentleman smells like a beast.

Good and bad are just means of doing things, not worth mentioning. "

Yun Chu frowned and said, "What's the smell on you?"

Di Renjie shook his head and said: "People can't choose what they want, of course they don't know what the original taste is. It's not too late to discuss my taste after one day I'm lucky enough to be tasted by others, but before that, let's be a little bit human. Talk about what you do."

After hearing Di Renjie's words, Yunchu felt that he should tell him exactly what he did in Jinchangfang.

After all, the more people exuding human flavor, the fewer beasts, and the fewer beasts, the less chance of being put on the table.

Overall, this is a good thing.

In the evening, Liu Yi sneaked into Yun's house carrying the merit box. Cui took the key from his neck, and after opening the merit box with Liu Yi, he carefully counted the golden beans and copper coins inside. , and finally recorded it in an account book, Cui collected the money.

Liu Yi reluctantly left with the empty box on his back, and his mind was full of a few gleaming golden beans among the piles of copper plates.

How much should that be? Liu Yi, who was carrying the merit box on his back, wanted to shout out, but finally shut up and put the empty merit box back to its original place.

After Cui collected the money, she happily ran over to Yun Chu and said, "Our family has another five pennies in the account today."

Yun Chu nodded and said, "Very good, record the account, but don't mix it with the account at home."

Mrs. Cui laid out the quilt for Yunchu, and then went out lightly. She was really happy. If the Yun family's income is based on the current income, within ten years, as long as Lang Jun's official position is promoted, Chang'an City will definitely be destroyed. There will be a new wealthy family.

Before going to bed, Yun Chu looked around, but he couldn't find Big Fatty Lynx, so he took out Naha's messy calligraphy and painting from under the pillow, read it once, put it back under the pillow, blew out the candle, and went to sleep. I fell asleep with a smile.
