Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 595
After this round of drinking, Li Wei was already very drunk.

This lotus flower was not intoxicating at all, but he was already drunk after having wine at his uncle's house for dinner, so he couldn't bear it.

He said with his tongue out: "My father is a fan of officials. When he arrived, he pointed to my nose and muttered that he was still an official... Qin Xiang from Jinyuchi cried and asked me to Redemption for you...the old bustard is not a thing, the most black heart..."

"That figure is predictable...it feels slippery to the touch..." Li Wei was drunk, and the more he said it, the more he didn't make sense.While speaking, he picked up the wine cup again, winked and said, "Hey, famous utensil..."

They are all men, so they shouldn't be taboo about such nasty words.

However, it was in Zhiran's room and in front of the proprietor Cao Yong, Jiang Jian supported Li Wei's arm and advised, "Brother Youjie is drunk, please take a few sips."

"Huh? Drunk...not drunk...not drunk..." Li Wei's head was shaking like a rattle, and his upper body was a little swaying.Fortunately, Jiang Jian held his arm, so he didn't fall down.

Cao Yong was by the side, smiling at Li Wei drunk, sighing inconceivably in his heart.

This person, who is famous in history, is no different from the idle helpers on the streets.

I can't complain that he doesn't like reading, and he still wants to be an official. It turns out that there is such a reason.

Cao Yong thought in his heart that he had the intention of fulfillment, and he was afraid that he would be suspected of being kind and embarrass Li Wei.

Just thinking about it, Li Wei turned sideways, hugged Zhiran, and shouted: "The monk is so handsome, if Miss Qin sees...sees you, I'm afraid she will dump me..."

Zhiran is good at self-restraint, just looked at Li Wei with a smile, and said: "Don't worry, Li benefactor, the monk is a monk, and it doesn't involve the place of fireworks. Li benefactor's Qin girl is naturally still Li benefactor's."

Li Wei was already drunk, seeing Zhiran smiling, he was a little dazed, then turned his head to look at Cao Yong, with a puzzled expression on his face, frowned and said: "Could it be that you were brothers in your previous life... the eyebrows and eyes are not the same. Like, this smirk really looks like..."

Cao Yong only thought that Li Wei was drunk and didn't care. He looked at Zhiran and said, "I can't tell you my last life. I'm really a little novice. I will chant scriptures with you..." Halfway through the speech, he couldn't continue the rest of the sentence.

The smile on Zhiran's face froze immediately, and his eyes became a little deep.

Cao Yong was also stunned, not alone looking at Zhiran, but he couldn't tell which one he looked like.

At this moment, Cao Yong also felt familiar to him.

Cao Yong is familiar with the kind of loneliness and desolation that hides a big secret in his heart and has nowhere to tell, as if he is alone in the world.

Cao Yong in his early years was exactly like this.

The most surprising thing is his facial features.

As far as nose and eyes are concerned, he has no similarities with Cao Yong, but the outline of his face is similar to Cao Yong.

Seeing Cao Yong looking at him, Zhiran raised his eyes and looked back at Cao Yong.

But there was no emotion, it was more like a silent inquiry: "What are you looking at?"

Cao Yong saw his inquiry, but he didn't speak. He wanted a possibility, and his heart was a little messy.

There was silence in the room, Li Wei was already on the sidelines, snoring gradually started.

Jiang Jian's brain is the most active, seeing Cao Yong and Zhiran's abnormality, thinking about what Li Wei said before, he was a little startled.

"Cough, my lord, little master, he's drunk again, I'll help him go back." He thought for a while and said out loud.

Only then did Cao Yong withdraw his mind, nodded, and said, "Let me help you." While speaking, he got up and got off the kang.

Jiang Jian hurriedly waved his hands: "Don't trouble your lord, otherwise you will wake up drunk again, and I'm afraid you will feel even more ashamed."

When Cao Yong heard the words, he called the waiter in the outhouse and asked him to help Jiang Jian and send Li Wei back.

Only Cao Yong and Zhiran were left in the room, they looked at each other, and they were speechless for a while.

Cao Yong got up in the early morning and was a little tired after a busy day.

He lay down on the kang, but he was a little self-deprecating, and he was very funny.

He turned sideways, looked at Zhiran and said, "Monk, you are old too. It's not as difficult as when you were a child. As long as you have the Dharma in your heart, why bother to stick to it. Your master has raised you for more than ten years, and you have not It is decided that you will become a young monk. If you want to return to the common life, I agree with it with both hands and feet."

"Amitabha, I thank Donor Cao for your kindness. Form is emptiness, emptiness is form, pink skull, skull pink, my heart towards Buddha will not diminish." Zhiran's voice is not high, but there is a bit of firmness inside.

Cao Yong wanted to ask a question about his parents and his life experience, but he closed his mouth again.

It's not that I'm not curious about some things, but I don't want to embarrass Zhiran.

"I remember that your birthday was in June of the Jiaxu year, when did you come?" Cao Yong asked casually.

"Fourth day." Zhiran replied.

"The fourth day, the first day of Sakyamuni's first day. Your master said that you have the root of wisdom and you are a disciple of Buddha. Isn't that why?" Cao Yong asked, recalling some knowledge he had learned in Qingliang Temple.

Zhiran's master has always been kind to him in raising and teaching him, and he has always respected him in his heart.

Therefore, when Cao Yong mentioned his master, Zhiran couldn't help putting his hands together, while reciting the sound of the Dharma, while bowing his head, he answered Cao Yong's question.

Cao Yong rolled his eyes, and couldn't help but want to say a few words to the little monk: "According to this, wouldn't people on the eighth day of April be even less able to be laymen?"

But after all, the dead are the big ones, and if he continued, he would have to drag the old monk who died of illness, so he stopped after saying a few words.

The little monk sat on the edge of the kang, smiled lightly and said nothing.

The sound of clappers came from outside, it was already the third watch, and the sound of firecrackers came from afar.

Cao Yong stood up and said to Zhiran: "New Year is coming soon, I will go back to watch the year with my wife and children, but the little monk is deserted. If you want to experience the world, I will definitely support you here, remember That's good. Even if you don't want to enter the world of mortals, your life is really closed. There are many temples in Beijing, and many eminent monks who have attained the Tao hide in them. It is also a pleasure for young monks to visit a few places to talk about Zen."

Zhiran thanked him with a smile, and personally sent Cao Yong out of the house.

It was already midnight, and the Cao family had Cao Shuo and Mr. Zhuang to attend to, so no firecrackers were prepared.But nearby people are already in full bloom of fireworks.

Cao Yong and Zhiran stopped for a moment and watched several fireworks blooming in the east.

The fallen flowers are colorful, and the beauty is beautiful. After the flowers are gone, the deserted sky also makes people feel sad.

"Life is like a dream and illusion, and in the end it is just like this fireworks, passing away without a trace." Zhiran said.

"Yeah, life is less than a hundred, what is going on?" Cao Yong heard the words, and said: "Sometimes, I am very jealous of you. I commit myself to Buddhism, but I don't have to think about anything. But the contradiction is tight, that is. I envy the purity, but I fear the coldness. If there is really no desire, no pursuit, no love and no hatred, then what is the point of living in this life? Let alone seeking the supreme Dharma, the Buddha has millions of disciples, just like you and me one."

Zhiran had no words, but after Cao Yong finished speaking, he felt that he was a little wordy.

He smiled, tightened the cloak on his body, waved to Zhiran, turned and went to the second gate.

Zhiran stayed where she was, when she heard a faint noise coming from the west, turned her head to look, and saw a red light flashing in the distance, as if someone had drowned...

In Wutong Garden, Chu Yu sat by the Kang, watching the new year with the children.

Tianhui leaned against her lap, Tianyou and Hengsheng were sleepy-eyed, but their mouths were not idle, talking about how Zuo Cheng's hair was, Niuniu had a new puppy and so on.

When Cao Yong came back, this was the scene that caught his eye.

"The forehead is back?" Chu Yu's voice was full of joy, and she wanted to get up, but she looked at Tian Hui again.

"En!" Cao Yong nodded, took two steps forward, lifted his daughter up, and kissed her little face,

He smelled of alcohol, and there was a cold wind, which made Tian Hui shiver, her little head straightened back, and she said, "Smelly!"

"Haha, I'm disgusted!" Cao Yong poked his head over and gave his daughter another kiss on the face.

Tianhui curled her small mouth and called "Mom".

Chu Yu came over, took her daughter from her husband, and said, "Don't tease her, my daughter is already tired, and she can't bear to sleep just to wait for her husband."

Cao Yong touched his daughter's head and said with a smile: "It's my good girl, it's not in vain that I love you so much."

Tianhui showed a bit of shyness on her face, groped, put her arms around Chuyu's neck, buried her face in her arms, and stopped talking.

After kissing his daughter, Cao Yong said to Tianyou and Hang Sheng who were smiling beside him: "I don't think Dad is there, is it because he is waiting for me, so he doesn't sleep."

Tianyou just smiled and didn't speak; Hang Seng nodded vigorously and said: "Father, brother said that father and mother will give lucky money, right? Tomorrow we will give it to Aunt Niuniu, so that aunt can buy delicious food to save money." She misses her father. I have to set aside a portion for someone to buy delicious food and send it to my cousin."

"Oh, and this plan, whose idea is this, you think, or your brother?" Cao Yong was curious.

Hang Seng pointed to Tianyou beside him, and replied, "Brother said it."

Cao Yong looked at Tianyou, Tianyou was a little embarrassed, his face flushed, and he said in a low voice: "I was thinking about my little uncle, but Mother Ye said that my little uncle has no teeth and doesn't eat meat."

Cao Yong was quite relieved when he heard this, and said: "There will be lucky money. It's hard for you to know how to care about others. You are all good children. Just remember, even if you don't give Niu Niu lucky money, if you go to play with her more, you will let her Happy. On Xiangyu’s side, just send someone over there. Don’t go there. Your grandparents don’t allow people to go over there. If you go over there, she will be unhappy. Well, they are also your little brothers, so get along well."

Tianyou and Hang Seng nodded their heads vigorously, Chu Yu laughed beside him and said: "The last sentence is not to be explained by the forehead, they are two naughty bastards, these days they see Tian Lai with Mrs. Tian, ​​and they have to work hard every day before they agree return."

Cao Yong took off his coat, put it aside, and said: "This is the best, and I can't let these boys be mischievous, like herding sheep. I have asked someone to find a wife, and I will enter the mansion after fifteen..."

Outside the Anding Gate, Prince Yong's Mansion, the main house in the inner courtyard.

Si Fujin fidgeted restlessly, without the slightest smile on his face.

Si elder brother's concubine, with the children, sat on the ground, but it was you who looked at me, and I looked at you.

The fourth elder brother was not there, and the younger elder brother Hongshi in the mansion was already grown up, which was fine; the other two younger elder brothers were so breathless that they couldn't open their eyes.

Seeing Si Fujin, he hesitated to ask everyone to go back first, then saw Su Peisheng came in, bowed and said: "Fu Jin, Si Gege is gone, Master Nian fainted, and the Lord is with you over there. Let the slaves come to report to Master Fujin, I won't be here today..."
