Daughter of aristocratic family

Zhao Wangshu and the others returned to Fayuan Temple at noon. Under the leadership of the young novice monk, they went to the vegetarian hall to have a vegetarian meal.

There is a statue of Maitreya Bodhisattva enshrined in the middle of the Zhaitang. According to legend, one day when the monks were eating in the Zhaitang, Maitreya Bodhisattva suddenly walked down from the Buddha statue and turned into a pot-bellied monk and appeared in front of everyone.

The monks were panicked and knelt down to pray for blessing. But the fat-bellied monk told everyone with a smile: "Don't panic, I'm here to eat fast with everyone."

So the pot-bellied monk picked up the bowls and chopsticks and ate with everyone.

After finishing the meal, the pot-bellied monk returned to the Buddha statue and never appeared again. However, this legend made the fast meal at Fayuan Temple even more mysterious and sacred.

What kind of delicious vegetarian meal can attract the appearance of Bodhisattva?

From then on, the statue of Maitreya Bodhisattva was enshrined in the middle of the hall to show respect for the Bodhisattva.

Following the instructions of the young novice monk, they offered incense to Maitreya Bodhisattva and sat down in the corner of the dining hall. In front of each person, there were two bowls, a plate, a pair of chopsticks, and a spoon.

After a while, the master and servant Zhao Shuqing were also brought in by the young novice monk, and they sat opposite Zhao Wangshu.

She wrung her handkerchief tightly with both hands and glared at Zhao Wangshu and the others with an angry look on her face.

"Looking at unlucky people really affects your appetite." Lin Qianyi said with disgust.

"The vegetarian food at Fayuan Temple is delicious, don't worry about irrelevant people." Yao Shanzhi said while swallowing his saliva.

At this time, the monks finished reciting sutras, and the monks began to distribute the meals. Zhao Wangshu and the others took the vegetarian meals and couldn't help but exclaimed, "It smells so good."

The fragrant aroma of vegetarian food whets your appetite.

Zhao Shuqing's master and servant also received vegetarian meals, but Zhao Shuqing obviously had no appetite. He chewed the steamed buns with a sullen face, as if he was chewing Zhao Wangshu's meat.

Zhao Wangshu picked up a piece of tofu, put it in his mouth, and tasted it carefully.

"It's so delicious. It's a feast for the tongue." Yao Shanzhi praised.

"Yeah, I didn't expect the vegetarian food here to be so delicious." Lin Qianyi also agreed.

They were enjoying the delicious food and chatting in a happy mood.

"It tastes really bad. This tofu has no taste at all." Zhao Shuqing deliberately contradicted Zhao Wangshu.

"This vegetable has no oil at all. It's really hard to eat." Her two maids agreed to please her.

"Some people haven't eaten fine chaff for a few days, so they choose from three to four. They really forget their origins and don't know the heights of the world." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.

Lin Qianyi then mocked: "A sparrow puts on a colorful robe and thinks he is a phoenix, but he thinks the peacock is not noble enough."

Zhao Shuqing's face turned blue at these words, and he threw away his chopsticks, "Humph, you can eat what you like, I can't eat it anyway."

After saying that, she got up and left. Seeing this, the two maids had no choice but to follow her.

"Since becoming the county head, she has become more and more angry." Zhao Wangshu curled his lips and said.

"Not only is she angry, but I think she has a bigger heart. She actually misses Brother Chen." Lin Qianyi said.

Yao Shanzhi, who was immersed in eating, greeted him: "Little master, give me some more tofu."

The monk heard the sound and came over, scooping out another half bowl of tofu for her.

Yao Shanzhi ate the tofu with satisfaction, "This tofu doesn't have any beany smell at all. I wonder how you made it?"

"This tofu is made with mountain spring water and a special production method, so it doesn't have any beany smell at all." The monk explained while packing up the vegetarian meal left by Zhao Shuqing.

Yao Shanzhi nodded, "No wonder it's so delicious."

After finishing their meal, they strolled around the temple.

Fayuan Temple has towering ancient trees and melodious bells. They wandered aimlessly along the bluestone road and felt the tranquility and solemnity of the temple.

When they arrived at the Free Life Pool, they saw an old woman throwing stones into the pool. Yao Shanzhi went over and asked, "Old lady, what are you doing?"

The old woman raised her head and glanced at her, and replied expressionlessly: "Release the animals." Zhao Wangshu and the others looked puzzled, "Shouldn't we release fish, insects, shrimps, and crabs when we release the animals?"

The old woman smiled and explained: "Releasing animals is not just about releasing living animals. It is about releasing living beings. Stones are also sentient beings. Throwing them into the pool is releasing them."

That seems to make sense.

After the old woman left, Zhao Wangshu and the others decided to put stones too.

After leaving the Free Life Pond, it was getting late and they left the temple to go home.

When they walked outside the mountain gate, Zhao Wangshu and the others happened to see Chen Xiao being stopped by a maid.

"She's Zhao Shuqing's maid." Zhao Wangshu recognized her at a glance.

Yao Shanzhi sneered, "She hasn't been a monster enough yet."

I don't know what the maid said, but Chen Xiao had an indifferent look on his face. He turned around and saw Zhao Wangshu and three people standing not far away watching the excitement. He raised his voice and said: "The Lord of Chungjuan County sprained his foot and needs help. You should also find someone who is also a woman."

"Brother Chen is not kind." Yao Shanzhi pouted.

Lin Qianyi answered: "It turned out that the disaster was diverted to the east."

"We want this favor." Zhao Wangshu raised his eyebrows.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, then walked over. Yao Shanzhi smiled and asked, "Brother Chen, do you need any help?"

"The Princess of Chunjuan County sprained her foot, please help her." Chen Xiao said politely.

"We will help the Lord of Spring Juan County." Yao Shanzhi winked at him and told him to leave quickly and don't let the dog skin plaster stick to his body.

Chen Xiao looked at Yao Shanzhi's eyes and felt a slight movement in his heart. Without saying anything, he cupped his hands and turned to leave.

As soon as he left, Zhao Wangshu asked the maid coldly, "Where is Zhao Shuqing?"

The maid said distressedly: "The girl wants Mr. Chen to help her."

"Does this mean you don't need our help?" Yao Shanzhi smiled and clapped his hands, "That's great."

"Then we can leave." Zhao Wangshu got on his horse.

"Wait a minute." The maid stopped in front of the horse.

Yao Shanzhi looked at her and asked, "What? You changed your mind so quickly and wanted us to help?"

"Master Chen has left, I can only ask you to help." The maid said anxiously.

Hearing this, Lin Qianyi laughed and said, "Hey, that's true. Why do you have to ask us to help and wrong your county boss?"

"It seems that he doesn't want us to help. Come on, let's go." Seeing that Chen Xiao had gone away, Zhao Wangshu didn't want to get entangled with the maid anymore. He shook the reins and urged the horse forward.

"Get out of the way, don't block the way." Lin Qianyi raised her riding whip, frightening the maid to quickly step aside and get out of the way.

Yao Shanzhi and the others walked away, leaving the maid to find her master Zhao Shuqing.

Zhao Shuqing saw her coming back alone and asked sharply: "Where is Mr. Chen?"

"My servant did not find Mr. Chen." The servant girl lied to prevent Zhao Shuqing from blaming her for not doing things well.

Zhao Shuqing's face darkened, and she was slightly displeased, "Go and wait at the mountain gate. Be sure to bring Mr. Chen over."

"Yes." The maid had no choice but to return to the mountain gate, but she knew she couldn't wait for Chen Xiao.

This is the case with chronic rhinitis, chronic tonsillitis, and chronic pharyngitis. But the doctor didn't explain why I had vomiting and diarrhea.
