The daily life of a charming girl who made a fortune in ancient times

When two monks, one old and one young, saw someone coming in, they immediately straightened up and looked solemn, and a bowl of noodles forced them to eat like a Buddha.Lin Ruyu pursed her lips to hold back a smile, tugged on La Chenge's sleeve, and signaled them to leave first and let him have a good meal.

Shen Ge understood and was about to retreat.The monk who guided them said, "Uncle Wu Nian, Junior Brother Lichen, this is the daughter of Lin Dashan in Xuanzhou, Mrs. Shen."

Lin Ruyu's eyes lit up when she heard the words, is this Master Wu Nian, the host of Yinshan outside Hao Lianzhai, and his little apprentice Li Chen?
"Amitabha——" Master Wu Nian's voice was resounding and full of spirit, although his beard was white, "Mrs. Shen and Lingtang donated money to repair the temple, and the poor monks and apprentices are very grateful."

"Thank you for the benefactor." Little monk Lichen's eyes were bright and his voice was crisp, "The little monk and the master heard that the benefactor and General Shen had arrived in Wusha Town, and were about to eat a bowl of noodles, so they went to the street to find the two to thank them face to face. met here."

Lin Ruyu clasped his palms together to return the gift, "The year before last, there was a flood, the little girl and her family fled to your place, and she took the items in the house to keep out the cold, and picked fruits and vegetables from the garden to satisfy her hunger. Master, please don't blame me."

The hatchback was polite, the hatchback sat down and ate the plain noodles, and began to gossip.Shen Ge talked about yesterday when he and Lin Ruyu went to the Guanyin Temple outside Hao Lianzhai, and the gate hit the lock.

The little monk Lichen scratched his little bald head, and said with a smile, "My little monk and master heard that the Avalokitesvara Temple in Wusha Town is very popular, so they planned to come here to learn Buddhist scriptures. We set off five days ago and stopped and stopped all the way to collect herbs. Come."

Lin Ruyu asked curiously, "The two of you came here to learn Buddhist scriptures, is it because your place is not very popular?"

The Avalokitesvara Temples in Haolianzhai and Wusha Town were all repaired with the money of the Lin family. Mother Lin spared no expense, and the labor and materials were the best.

Master Wu Nian recited the Buddha's name and explained, "Our temple is built on a mountain, and the incense is not as prosperous as the temples in towns. At the beginning of this year, there was another bloody incident, and rumors arose in Hao Lianzhai, so... Amitabha .”

murder?Shen Ge and Lin Ruyu looked at each other, and after questioning the reason, they found out that the murder was related to them, and they couldn't laugh or cry for a while.

The person who died in the murder case was none other than Jiang Sanlin, a robber who made his living by robbery on the official road in Haolianzhai, Qi County.

After He Jiongming had a startling dream on New Year's Eve, he took people to Qi County to confirm the truth of the dream. On the way back to Cheng County, Shen Ge threw horse nails and dragged Jiang Sanlin, who was on the road, to stop him. Jiang He Jiongming stopped on the official road.Shen Ge retreated completely, but Jiang Sanlin and his gang were caught and slaughtered by He Jiongming's men.

Jiang Sanlin is a local ruffian and bully who dominates Hao Lianzhai after Ma Erxiazi.Shen Ge killed He Jiongming with the help of He Jiongming in order to eliminate harm for the people.But I didn't expect Jiang Sanlin to be a Buddhist. He often went to Guanyin Temple to burn incense and send incense money, praying to the Bodhisattva to protect him from going to hell after death.On the day he was killed, he had just gone to Guanyin Temple to worship the Bodhisattva, and he went with his family.

After Jiang Sanlin's death, the Jiang family lost their money and went to the Guanyin Temple to make trouble and make the temple lose money.After Master Wu Nian returned the money from his family, they became greedy and went up to the mountain to beg for money again and again. Because Master Wu Nian couldn't give it back, they spread rumors about the Guanyin Temple everywhere and cut off the incense in the temple.

"The little monk and the master can live on with or without incense. But my master built a charity hall and adopted [-] homeless children after the flood. There is no money for incense to buy rice, clothes and medicine." Little Monk Chen was worried, "That's why we came here to learn scriptures and learn from Uncle Jingyuan."

The flood in Sanzhou the year before last left a large number of people homeless, and many children lost their relatives and became orphans.The imperial court was busy with fighting the chaos, and most of the relief to the victims depended on local benevolent people like Master Wu Nian.

Shen Ge, who had been an orphan, knew that it was not easy to take care of eighteen children, so he looked at Lin Ruyu.Lin Ruyu beckoned to Yunjuan, and took 300 taels of silver notes to Shen Ge.Shen Ge handed the banknotes to Master Wu Nian with both hands, "You keep these coins. If you don't have enough, you can go to Xuanzhou Wanxiang Teahouse to find Shen Liangyong. For the Jiang Sanlin family, Shen will send someone to settle it, so that they don't dare to come back." Go to Guanyin Temple and make trouble."

"Amitabha——" Master Wu Nian took the banknote with both hands, thanking him continuously, tears rolling in his eyes, "with this good money, it is enough to support the children for five years, and after five years they will be able to support themselves. After returning home, the poor monk will definitely chant sutras in front of the Bodhisattva every day, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless the two benefactors for safety and success."

"The little monk will also chant scriptures for the two benefactors together with the master." The little monk Lichen smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth.

Shen Ge patted Lichen's thin shoulders, "You should also eat more, and help your master take care of the temple when you grow up."

"Okay!" Little Monk Li Chen's eyes sparkled, "When General Shen lived in Wusha Town, did he grow up sleeping on the straw behind the Buddha statue in Guanyin Temple?"

"Yes." This is a well-known fact in Wusha Town, Shen Ge nodded.

The little monk Lichen looked eagerly at Shen Ge, "Uncle Jingyuan spread straw behind the Buddha statue, and if you donate enough incense money, you can spend the night behind the Buddha statue and be blessed by the Bodhisattva. I heard from the brothers in this temple that they rely on With this, I got a lot of incense money. When General Shen was in our temple, he also slept behind the Buddha statue, right?"

Lin Ruyu...

Seeing Shen Ge shaking his head, the light in the eyes of the little monk Li Chen gradually went out, "This trip is for nothing..."

"It's not in vain, I have a good idea." Shen Ge waved to the little monk Lichen, and the little guy immediately walked around the table with bright eyes and ran to Shen Ge's side.

Shen Ge whispered a few words to him like this, and gave Lin Ruyu a meaningful look.The little guy also looked at Lin Ruyu with bright eyes, and nodded frequently, "Thank you, General Shen, I understand!"

Shen Ge said seriously, "You're welcome. Back then we used your uncle's signboard to stay overnight in the temple. After all, we can be regarded as lay brothers. Brothers should help each other."

The little monk Lichen laughed even more happily when he heard this.

Lin Ruyu saw that the two brothers were chatting endlessly, so she started gossiping with Master Wu Nian, "We climbed the mountain yesterday and found no one in the temple. Did you build the good hall in Hao Lianzhai?"

Wu Nian smiled and said, "It's not in the village, Madam must remember that place, it is the Taojiazhuang where you rescued Lingtang. The land in Taojiazhuang was sold cheaply, I bought ten acres and built a few huts."

Although Lin Ruyu had only been to Taojiazhuang once, she was deeply impressed by it. "I remember that there are large tracts of fertile land near Taojiazhuang. Why are they selling at such a low price?"

Wu Nian explained, "It was originally the private house of Dong Wenyin, the former magistrate of Qi County. After the flood, rumors of ghosts spread there, so no one took over the village, so the head of the village demolished Taojiazhuang. Scattered for sale."

Lin Ruyu asked, "The ghost who made the people in the village afraid to buy land must be very powerful."
