Happy Little Scholar

Naturally, the Li family in Beijing did not have such a treasure as a rocking chair. Li Yi leaned on the small chair, looked at the white figure standing on the wall, and said lazily: "Xiao Yi'er, is this your nickname when you were a child? How come you never had it?" Did you hear Ruyi mention it?”

Liu Ruyi was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this title seemed to suit her. She originally wanted to use it to make fun of Li Yi, but unexpectedly, she was included in it.

With a trace of annoyance on her pretty face, she threw the maid who was on the other side of the wall and shouted anxiously for her to come down quickly, and jumped down from the top of the wall.

"When are you going to go back?" He walked to Li Yi and said coldly, holding the sword in his arms.

Miss Liu Er, who is young and old, almost never calls him brother-in-law. Li Yi has long been accustomed to this. Perhaps from that day when she was riding on a horse, she looked at him like a prey and said "take him away" At that time, I had no intention of being a well-behaved sister-in-law.

"We will leave after my birthday. If we take a boat, it will only take two days to go back."

Liu Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Without asking any more questions, she changed the subject and said, "The old lady is going to a temple outside the city tomorrow to offer incense. I will go with her. Do you want to go?"

"I won't go." Li Yi simply shook his head and said.

"Forget it!" Miss Liu Er said coldly, and her toes flew up the wall, causing the maid opposite to scream.

Li Yi looked at the yard next door. Miss Liu Er, who had just turned seventeen, was still just a child. Although she always pretended to be mature and cold, her girlish nature could not be changed.

Ruyi has always protected her and Xiaohuan very well. Although Ruyi has high martial arts skills, his mind is rare and simple. Underneath the cold appearance, there is a lively and playful heart.

Ruyi knew that she didn't want to get too involved with the Li family, so she didn't come with him. Instead, she asked Ruyi to go with him. Protection was one reason, and she also wanted to let her go out for a walk and release.

Thinking about her character, Li Yi couldn't help but start to worry about Ruyi and her future...

…

…

Although the beginning of spring is just a few days after the Spring Festival, it still has to wait until after the Lantern Festival for the weather to really start to warm up and for people to feel a hint of spring.

The wind is gentle, the sky is clear, the sun is bright, and the snow in the mountains has long melted. Today is a suitable day for traveling.

Every year on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, a temple fair is held at Hanshan Temple outside the city. At this time, believers from all over the mountain go to the mountain to worship. Scholars offer some incense and pray that they can go to high school in the coming year. Then the Buddha will be blessed with a golden body. Young ladies hope to find a husband as soon as possible, and newlyweds often go to see Guanyin...

In a feudal society, it is normal for the people to be feudal. If there is no scientific credibility, you have to believe in something...

The old lady is going to Hanshan Temple today to fulfill her vow. A large group of maids are following her, and more than a dozen guards are accompanying her throughout the journey. She is even escorted by a heroine with superb martial arts skills. As for Li Yi, he just went out for a walk out of boredom.

Hanshan Temple is naturally located on Hanshan Mountain, and has nothing to do with the Hanshan Temple that is "outside the city of Suzhou, and the bells ring to the passenger ship at midnight".

A short mountain with an altitude of only more than 100 meters, it became famous because of the popular Hanshan Temple. Li Yi sat in the carriage. After leaving the city, the bumpy journey began.

He was not the only one in the carriage. The chubby naughty boy was gnawing enthusiastically with a fat and oily chicken leg in his hand. He didn't pay any attention to Li Yi. For the naughty boy, this chicken drumstick was better than this one. The brother who appears is much more interesting.

If Li Yi remembers correctly, the naughty kid in front of him is called Li Yingcai, the son of his third uncle Li Mingyuan. This time he was dragged out of the house by his mother. A chicken leg came into his hand. In a short time, There were only a few bones left, and there was no trace of meat left on them, indicating that this kid was definitely an expert at chewing chicken legs.

It wasn't until he sucked all ten fingers and took out a few pieces of preserved fruit from his arms and started stuffing them into his mouth that Li Yi knew that there was a reason why this naughty kid had grown so strong at such a young age.

As if he felt a little embarrassed to be eating alone, the naughty boy took out a piece of preserved fruit, looked at it with nostalgia, and handed it to Li Yi.

Li Yi just saw him licking his hand all over like a bear's paw. Looking at the preserved fruit he handed over, he smiled and shook his head in rejection.

The naughty boy was obviously very happy, and as soon as he changed his hand, he stuffed the preserved fruit into his mouth again.

Hanshan Temple is not far away. After walking for about half an hour, we arrived at the foot of Hanshan Mountain.

The stone steps paved with bluestone spread from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and many people were already climbing up the stone steps.

The old man was physically inconvenient, and the carriage took another flat mountain road. The naughty boy didn't know what he had eaten just now, and started to fart non-stop while sitting in the carriage. Li Yi had no choice but to jump off the carriage and tell the coachman that he planned to hike up the mountain. Just meet up on the mountain.

The air outside was much fresher, and there was a faint fragrance in the air. Li Yi noticed that many plum blossoms were planted on both sides of the mountain road. The last two days were at the peak of the flowering season, and the ladies wearing curtains on their heads almost It was a flower in each hand, and the stone steps were covered with petals. After Li Yi took a few steps, he actually saw a scholar in green shirt picking a plum blossom and putting it on his head. He looked like a scholar from the Song Dynasty...

A group of guys who made a big fuss about the scenery. The beautiful plum blossoms were broken into pieces, but they actually regarded it as an elegant thing. Several guys with flowers in their hair and self-proclaimed talents recited poems to a bare plum tree. …

The stone steps were not steep, but they were very long. It took Li Yi about a quarter of an hour to walk up the stone steps. When he reached the top of the mountain, he finally understood why he met so many young men and women along the way.

Hanshan Temple is not a solitary temple. In fact, the entire top of the mountain belongs to the scope of Hanshan Temple, including the surrounding plum blossom forest that stretches as far as the eye can see.

The ladies of Mu Li took Mu Li to visit the plum blossom forest together. A low hum and a faint smile came from Mu Li. The talented men spread a plain cloth under the plum tree, sat cross-legged, raised their cups and drank. A good poem was recited, and plum blossoms rained down from above...

When the peach and apricot trees were just bare branches, this endless plum blossom forest was indeed a good place for an outing.

No wonder Hanshan Temple chose today to hold the temple fair. I don’t know how many talented men and beautiful women this plum blossom forest can attract. After enjoying the plum forest, they will go in to worship the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas, and naturally they will also offer incense...

These bald donkeys really know how to choose the time!

Li Yi was naturally not in the mood to appreciate the plum blossoms by himself. Two drivers were waiting outside the temple, saying that the old lady had taken everyone to the temple to burn incense and to visit a famous monk, and they were afraid that they would not be able to come out for a while.

Deeply influenced by Marxism-Leninism, Li Yi did not believe in gods and Buddhas before, but since even such an incredible thing as time travel could happen, what else was impossible?

He respectfully burned a stick of incense, threw a piece of broken silver into the merit box, and then leisurely toured the temple.

He did not like crowded places, and chose quiet paths. The quaint temples also had a unique charm, which was simple and heavy, which was not possessed by those temple attractions in later generations.

After passing through several archways, the population gradually became sparse. When he walked out of the last moon gate, a plum blossom forest that was more prosperous than the outside appeared in front of him.

"Why are you worried, donor?" An old voice came from the plum forest.

"Life is not satisfactory everywhere, how can you not worry?" The voice of the young man continued to sound.

Li Yi stopped, a trace of interest appeared on his face, and he walked forward a few steps. In the depths of the plum forest, he saw the backs of an old monk and a young man.

Hearing the young man's words, the old monk casually pointed to a plum tree and smiled without saying anything.

Li Yi stood behind the two of them, staring at this scene in a daze.

Could this be the legendary Zen master and the young man?

The young man suddenly realized and murmured: "Master means that the plum blossoms have survived the bitter and cold winter to have the current fragrance. Suffering is temporary, but as long as you get through it, it will be the blooming spring?"

Li Yi really didn't want to ruin a perfect joke, and laughed while holding his stomach and said: "No, Master means------You said a fart in front of the plum!"

"Who?"

The young man turned his head suddenly and pointed at Li Yi standing behind him. Just as he was about to speak, his mouth opened halfway, and the expression on his face was like seeing a ghost.

Li Yi laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back. He bowed his hands and said, "Sorry, I couldn't help it. You guys continue, continue..."

It's not good to disrupt other people's discussion of Zen. Li Yi planned to go out and laugh again. He didn't look at the reactions of the old monk and the young man. He probably still pondered the meaning of the previous sentence. He turned and walked in the direction he came from.

Seeing Li Yi's reaction, a trace of doubt appeared on the young man's face. Seeing that he was about to walk out, he hurriedly said, "Brother, stay!"

Hearing the young man's words, Li Yi's footsteps became faster. He thought to himself that this guy didn't continue to discuss Zen with the old monk, so why did he rely on him?

"Stop!" When he was about to walk out of the moon gate, two figures suddenly flashed from the front and blocked him.

Seeing the two men standing in front of him, Li Yi was stunned for a moment, and the expression on his face was also like seeing a ghost.
