Shangshi female official

Wang Yifu and Yue Hong followed the master to the Zen room. The Zen room was empty with no decorations. On the left was a dark blue bedding, and on the right was a round table surrounded by several small round stools.

The Zen master led them to sit down in the meditation room, and asked the young novice to bring tea sets and fruit snacks, which were very common yellow round soft cakes.

A Zen master poured the tea, and after the elders had tasted it, Wang Yifu and Yue Hong brought the tea to drink. The tea tasted very light, and it was good to pair it with fruit, because the fruit had a strong aroma of wheat, and the bean paste inside was very delicious. sweet.

"Yue Hong, where do you live now?" the Zen master asked.

"To tell you the truth, I live on the mountainside not far from here. In fact, I went up the mountain to hide from the pursuers."

"Why did you hide from the pursuers?"

Yue Hong told the Zen master everything about them in the palace. A Zen master heard about it, his face became sad, and he closed his eyes and recited a sentence of Amitabha.

"Although God has the virtue of loving life, doing evil will lead to evil karma, and the cycle of reincarnation will continue, and there will be no liberation."

A Zen master has a peaceful atmosphere, and in this quiet Zen room, Wang Yifu naturally has the urge to talk again.

"Zen Master, Brother Yue only knows one thing, not the other."

A Zen master smiled and said, "Miss Wang, if you have something to say, it's okay."

"I haven't told Brother Yue about this. My mother is the emperor's abandoned concubine Chi Shi 20 years ago. Back then, my mother and Li Niangniang were pregnant at the same time. The concubine Du and Li Niangniang framed my mother's fake pregnancy and slandered me. My mother and Yan Sishan in the palace at that time jointly poisoned Li Niangniang. Yan Sishan helped my mother escape and gave birth to me. I entered the palace only for revenge.

Du Niangniang has been hiding behind Li Niangniang. We also brought down Li Niangniang together with the empress. The eleventh prince died again and found out her true face. General Du's son escaped with his life in exchange for me, and Brother Yue was imprisoned by me again. , was forced to drop here. "

Yue Hong murmured: "Then you are...the emperor's daughter..."

Wang Yifu nodded, shook her head again, and continued: "I have been away for 20 years, and I have been involved in court scandals, so it is impossible for my father to recognize me. Originally, only my mother and Yan's mother took care of me, so it is not his fault." daughter."

"Amitabha, wherever there are causes and conditions in the world, they are only driven by karma. Miss Wang should not worry about it. She must understand this empty word."

"Eve is just an ordinary person, how can there be such a state of mind as a Zen master."

A Zen master giggled, poured tea for Wang Yifu again, and said, "Your teacup is empty, and the poor monk will pour it for you."

With such a simple sentence, a ray of light suddenly flashed in Wang Yifu's heart, and it was fleeting.

"Godfather, Efu cooks good dishes, why don't I take you to our small courtyard and taste Efu's good cooking."

"Okay, I live here as a guest, and I can walk around with you nearby." The Zen master turned to Wang Yifu and said, "Miss Wang, the palace will invite poor monks to give lectures next month. , or if there is something for the poor monk to bring to the people in the palace, you can drop by."

"Thank you Zen master, I have a string of pearls for you, please bring me a message to Moxi Sishan in the palace, she is a poor girl, she has no surname, only a first name, please give me a sentence of "Yuyangxian" Just fine."

The Zen master nodded and said, "That's good, that poor monk is doing his best."

Not many days later, Yue Hong invited the Zen master to their small courtyard as a guest. Early in the morning, he went to the mountains to dig bamboo shoots and mushrooms. When the Zen master came back, he squatted down to look at the vegetables grown in the yard, and Yue Hong pointed out that Let him know what they planted.

When spring comes, everything will recover, and the vegetables in their small courtyard are growing very well, so they don't have to worry about food rations.

Wang Yifu cooked the mushroom soup, took it out of the pot and cooked some bean sprouts, cut the bamboo shoots into shreds for stir-fry, fried some tofu, and made stir-fried green beans, carrots and corn.

Although all the tables are plain, the colorful ones are very attractive. A Zen master smiled kindly: "Your small courtyard is full of vitality, and it is a good place to live."

Yue Hong said with a smile: "When we first came up, the place was very dilapidated. Aunt Zhu comforted us by saying that we would only stay for a while. Now that I'm used to living here, I don't want to go down the mountain."

Wang Yifu served soup to the Zen master and said, "There is no meaty smell in the soup, only the umami taste of mushrooms. I added a little bean sprouts, which has a chewable texture. Zen master, please try it."

Zen Master Yi took a sip of the soup, raised his head and said with a smile: "It tastes good."

"It's just cooking mushrooms, the Zen master is not going to comfort Eve, is it?"

"Try it, monks don't tell lies."

Wang Yifu tasted the soup. The mushroom flavor was very rich. It was obviously only the flavor of mushrooms and a little bit of bean sprouts. She only added a little salt. There was no strong bone broth as the base, and there was no stewed abalone and ham The broth is seasoned with umami, which is really delicious.

"How? It's delicious."

Wang Yifu nodded, but her face was full of confusion. She had stewed soup in the palace for so many years, but she had never tasted such a simple and delicious taste.

The Zen master picked up the bowl and finished the soup, and Yue Hong immediately helped him serve the rice. He picked up two pieces of tofu, a spoonful of green beans, carrots and corn kernels, a chopstick of green vegetables, and a chopstick of shredded bamboo shoots.

With these dishes, the Zen master ate all the rice without making any noise. After eating, he placed his chopsticks horizontally and clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, thank you for your hospitality."

"Master Zen, is Efu's food not to your liking? What does Zen Master like to eat? Efu will prepare some better next time."

"Miss Wang, the food you cooked is very delicious. But the poor monk only has one stomach, so it is best to eat this much. Monks are greedy, angry, foolish, jealous and slow, so how can they be gluttonous?"

Yue Hong also comforted Wang Yifu and said: "Godfather has always been like this, he will never eat too much, don't worry."

Zen Master Yi smiled and said: "You continue to eat, I will go outside to take a look."

He turned around and went outside, just in time to see the Bodhi tree at the door, suddenly smiled and looked at the tree carefully.

Wang Yifu looked at the thin figure of the Zen master and asked: "What exactly does a Zen master study Buddhism? How can he have such a unique temperament?"

Yue Hong took a chopstick of vegetables and said, "I asked him when I was young, but I didn't understand what he said."

"What did he say?"

"He said that to learn Buddhism is to put a drop of water into the sea. I don't have the root of wisdom, so I don't understand." He continued to eat, and boasted while eating: "Eve, this vegetarian dish is the best I have ever eaten. Food, you are so awesome.”

But Wang Yifu was dazed, holding chopsticks and a bowl, pondering over the words about putting a drop of water into the sea.

"Eve, eat quickly."

Yue Hong gave Wang Yifu a slight push, and Wang Yifu smiled slightly before continuing to eat.

Before a Zen master went to the palace to give a lecture, Wang Yifu entrusted the pearl bracelet to the Zen master early.
