Rebirth of an Abandoned Woman

Shi Feng lifted the bamboo sedan chair, went to Fu Sang Wan, and said with a smile, "Didn't it scare you?"

Sang Wan shook her head and said with a smile: "I was a little nervous at first, but it's funny when I stabilize myself!"

Shi Fengju chuckled, took her up together, and said: "There are sedan chairs on the mountain, we can just sit down when we go down the mountain, now we can go up slowly, don't worry. The scenery in the mountain is pretty good. There is an extremely high waterfall not far away! It just so happens that today is not the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year and it is not a holiday, so few people come here, but it is a good deal for us!"

Sang Wan smiled and said yes, and walked slowly with him.

Shi Fengju didn't want Chang Huan to wait, so he ordered to go up the mountain first to reserve a vegetarian banquet. Liu Ya raised the carrying case in her hand as a signal, and muttered: "Eldest young master, eldest grandma, let the slaves follow! Maybe the eldest young master and eldest grandma are thirsty and want to drink tea!"

When it comes to being considerate and careful, ten Liu Yas are not as good as one Chang Huan, Shi Fengju sometimes hates her so much that she has nothing to say, wondering if Liu Ya is really confused or pretending to be confused.

He didn't know what to say, Chang Huan had already whispered to Liu Ya, but Shi Fengju and Sang Wan could hear him just now: "Stupid you! The young master clearly doesn't want people to disturb you, but you still follow, that's easy, Why do you insist on following behind instead of walking far ahead and waiting! The young master and grandma will call you if they want to drink tea."

Hearing this, Liu Ya raised her head and looked at Shi Fengju with her dark eyes, as if asking him: Is that so?

Shi Fengju is the master after all, so it is inconvenient to say something too blatantly in front of the slaves. Seeing Liu Ya looking over so openly, she didn't know how to respond for a moment, she couldn't help cursing secretly in her heart: What an elm bump! Chang Huan's dog is more careful than her, but it's a pity he's not a girl!

Sang Wan suppressed a smile, and said to Liu Ya: "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up? Wait at the Erdao Mountain Gate!"

"Yes, grandma!" Liu Ya got the words, and then went forward with Chang Huan, thinking that grandma is better, speak clearly!

There was no one around, Shi Fengju took Sang Wan's hand and walked slowly all the way to point out the scenery, the two were talking and laughing, intimate. Seeing the lavender irises by the roadside in full bloom, Sang Wan praised a few words, Shi Fengju carefully picked a hairpin and put it on her temples, the two looked at each other and smiled.

When they arrived in front of the waterfall, the two of them leaned on the railing and admired it for a long time, watching the white waterfall whizzing down from the high cliff, impacting the deep blue pool under their feet, and then gurgling out along the stream, breaking the mist. The cool air blows towards the face, and the surrounding grass, leaves and trees are baptized and spotless, and they are extremely bright and lush. In the surrounding mountains, among the long green hills, they are more and more quiet and refined, and all the troubles have been forgotten, as if they were out of the dust.

"The master here is so lucky and blessed. I don't know how many people are envious of choosing such a good place to build a temple!" Sang Wan couldn't help laughing and praised.

Shi Fengju said with a smile: "Does Wanniang like waterfalls? We also have them in the Qingzhou Mountains. When we go back, I will ask someone to find a good place. We will also build a village on the mountain, plant flowers and trees, and raise two pairs of cranes, Sika deer, when you have free time, go to stay for a few days, do you think it's okay?"

"..." Sang Wan was speechless for a while, staring at him in a daze.

"Are you okay, Wanniang?" Shi Fengju raised his hand with a smile to straighten her hair on the sideburns that was blown by the mountain wind, and approached her and said.

"Well, yes, of course!" Sang Wan tried her best not to look embarrassed, and forcibly suppressed the sentence that was about to pop out, "Will your mother blame me if she finds out?".

Shi Fengju laughed happily, hugged her and leaned against him, lowered his head and said with a smile: "Just wait and see, I will definitely find a bigger and more beautiful waterfall for you than this one."

Sang Wan smiled, she felt that she was really going to be overwhelmed by him.

It was almost noon when the two arrived at the main temple on the top of the mountain. From a distance, they saw a master in cassock with a snow-white beard waiting for him holding Buddhist beads, and behind him stood several young monks in blue and gray black robes.

Sang Wan was startled, wondering if there were any distinguished guests in the temple today. Shi Fengju has already brought her forward quickly.

The master's eyes lit up when he saw them, he walked calmly, held the salute with one hand and said with a smile: "The time benefactor, I haven't seen you for a long time, how is the benefactor? I heard from Chang Huan that the benefactor encountered a small difficulty a while ago, and fortunately he was blessed by the Buddha. Die auspiciously, the old monk is also happy for the benefactor!"

"That slave is talking too much! I'm fine with some trivial matters, thank you Master for your greetings!" Shi Fengju respectfully returned the salute, and carefully removed Sang Wan's veiled hat and handed it to Liu Ya, smiling: "Master, this is my wife Sang Shi Wanniang, Wanniang, this is Master Lingjing, the abbot of Lingxin Temple!"

"I have met the master!" Sang Wan hurriedly knelt down and blessed him.

Master Lingjing said with a smile that he did not dare to return the gift, and said with a smile: "When did the benefactor get married, congratulations! The young lady is a gentle and virtuous person at first glance, and the benefactor is a match made in heaven!"

"Hehe, thank you for the good words, Master! It's been exactly one year since my wife entered the door last April!" Shi Fengju heard Master Lingjing praise Sang Wan than being happy to hear anything, with a smile on his brows, carrying Sang Wan entered together with Master Lingjing.

The backyard of the temple had already tidied up the clean side rooms, the two of them washed their hands and faces, and then went out to the treasure hall to offer incense and kneel down, and then entered Master Lingjing's meditation room to sit down and drink tea.

When Sang Wan saw that Fengju and Master Lingjing seemed to be very familiar with each other, they seemed to have a lot to say in their conversation, and she was very bored here, and she didn't want to disturb them, so she got up and laughed when she found time It is said that he wants to visit the temple, so please help him two.

Shi Fengju knew what she meant, so he didn't stop her, he just smiled and told him to be careful, and told him not to leave the temple. Master Lingjing sent his close disciple Hu Huizhen to guide Sang Wan to visit.

Sang Wan thanked her and left.

Chang Huan and other people saw that they didn't need to serve and went to play in the temple early, only Liu Ya followed Sang Wan, followed Na Huizhen to watch and tour everywhere in the temple.

This place has an excellent terrain. A temple was built here hundreds of years ago. Over the centuries, it has been ups and downs several times. It was built and destroyed, and it was destroyed and rebuilt, leaving countless traces and legendary allusions to future generations. Anecdotes.

This Huizhen is eloquent and has a lot of research on Buddhism, coupled with his intention to curry favor with others, he even tried his best to explain to Sang Wan eloquently and eloquently. Not only Sang Wan, but Liu Ya also listened.

"Madam, don't look at the glamor in the temple today. You can't imagine it. Just four years ago, this place was still a barren land full of wild foxes! My old master was merciful and rebuilt the temple here. Buddha, let alone the four nearby towns and eight villages, even in the city of Handan, countless nobles and common people have come here to make vows, fulfill vows, and worship Buddha devoutly to accumulate blessings!"

Sang Wan and Liu Ya couldn't help but glanced at the majestic and majestic buildings around them, and smiled in surprise: "It's really hard to imagine, little master, it turns out that this Lingxin Temple has been built for so many years! In order to rebuild this temple, Master Lingjing must have been begging for many years and suffered a lot!"

Except for royal temples or temples built under the auspices of some local governments, most of the temples in the world are built and repaired by various monks soliciting donations. How much money and wood can be converted depends on each person's Dharma practice, fame and fate. . There are so many halls and houses in Lingxin Temple, and the cost must be quite high. No matter how famous Master Lingjing is, I am afraid that he will have to work hard.

Huizhen glanced at Sang Wan in surprise, and said, "Don't you know, Madam? Our Lingxin Temple was rebuilt with the money of Young Master Shi! All the members of our temple are very grateful to Young Master Shi!"

"There is such a thing? I really don't know!" Sang Wan was taken aback. Shi Fengju never told her that the Lingxin Temple was rebuilt with his money.

Liu Ya clapped his hands and laughed: "It's strange that Master Lingjing is so familiar with my young master, so we have known each other for a long time! Master Lingjing really has a vision, and it's right to ask my young master for alms, let alone a Lingxin Temple It's ten seats, so it's not a problem!"

"Liu Ya!" Sang Wan saw Liu Ya's unrestrained speech and unknowingly turned her head to give her a look to signal to shut up.

Huizhen didn't pay attention to anything, and said with a smile: "This girl is wrong, my master didn't ask Master Shi for alms—"

"That's amazing! Could it be that our young master came here on his own initiative? You are so far away from Qingzhou, it's impossible! If you are in Qingzhou, it's about the same!" Liu Ya said again.

"Not really," Huizhen said with a good-tempered smile, "Speaking of which, we deserve to be unlucky. Ever since the master chose this place and vowed to rebuild it, a dozen or so of our masters and apprentices have been begging outside for alms. It took five years to barely make up enough money. On that day, the calculation was almost done, so I rushed back to try to build it as soon as possible, but the uncle in charge of the account accidentally lost the bag with the bank notes. We went back to look for it, where is there any trace? Everyone He was so anxious that he was about to hang himself, and the uncle burst into tears and wanted to throw himself into the river. He happened to meet the convoy of the young master and his team. The young master asked about the situation, and he agreed to pay for the rebuilding money. Let us go back to the mountain first, and then Then he sent someone to bring the bank notes. We thought he was joking at first, but at this point, we can only listen to him and go back to the mountain first. I don’t think we met Shi at the foot of the mountain before we returned to the mountain. The people sent by the Eldest Young Master to deliver the silver notes, they rode horses, so they were faster than our feet. At that time, they gave 80,000 silver notes, which almost didn't scare us, master and apprentice!"

Huizhen said as if recalling the original scene again, and sighed with a slight smile, "I'm not afraid of your joke, madam, we were really dumbfounded at that time. Until the master who gave the silver ticket left for a long time, he didn't return. I can't believe this is actually true!"

Liu Ya smiled and said, "Then after that, the Lingxin Temple will be built?"

"Yes," Huizhen nodded and smiled, "With enough money in hand, all kinds of materials were quickly purchased. Many nearby villagers came to help, and it took more than a year to build all the important palaces. After getting up, other things were gradually built. Later, when the accounts were settled, there were more than 20,000 taels of silver left. The master originally wanted to return it to the young master Shi, but the young master confiscated it, so the master built a school at the foot of the mountain. Sir, let the children in the nearby villages read and write for free, and the rest of the money will be used to buy more than a thousand acres of fertile land. In addition to the expenses of the temple, there are school expenses and porridge every winter. Donate porridge in sheds, send cotton clothes and quilts to the poor, build bridges and pave roads, and do a lot of good deeds. Now the reputation of our temple can be said to be known to everyone in Handan, and everyone knows it!"
