Number of People

  Chapter 544 T-shaped scroll succeeded

  Wu Yaoqing accompanied Feng Ziying to stand outside Zhike in Dinghui Nunnery. Although King Zhongshun gave him great convenience, Feng Ziying was not prepared to say or do anything out of line.

  For Feng Ziying, this is not a bad thing, and she is very calm in her heart.

To be honest, it is Daiyu he wants to marry, not this Miaoyu, but now he needs this Miaoyu to cover for himself and get his mother to agree to this marriage, so he has to maintain this relationship well .

  If this Miaoyu is really the lonely and self-admired Miaoyu in the book "A Dream of Red Mansions", then it seems that she is really similar to Daiyu in temperament, no wonder they are both Lin Ruhai's blood.

  One Miaoyu, one Daiyu, and Daimiao Shuangyu can also be called a perfect match, which can be as famous as Baodai Shuangchai.

It's just that this secret matter was never mentioned in the book "Dream of Red Mansions", and I don't know whether it was because Lin Ruhai had other arrangements at the beginning, or because the illness was too serious and the mother who was too stubborn as a mother made Lin Ruhai too late. Consider the future of this concubine's daughter.

Judging from the fact that Miaoyu has been leading her to practice, neither her mother Jingyuan Master nor she herself has too strong a desire to rely on others, but I don’t know what Miaoyu’s master, Master Yuan thinks about it. this matter.

  The guest room was finally opened, and a nun came out. She did not say much, but performed a Buddhist ceremony, and then invited Feng Ziying and Wu Yaoqing to enter.

  Feng Ziying and Wu Yaoqing thanked each other and entered the room.

  The quiet room is not wide, simple and clean, there are some futons of monks, but there are also tables and chairs of ordinary people, an old nun and a young woman stand side by side.

   "Feng Keng has met Mrs. Yuan, Ms. Miaoyu." Feng Ziying's eyes were clear, and he glanced past the two of them without stopping, but even this glimpse was a little surprising.

The appearance of this Miaoyu is somewhat different from that of Daiyu, her pink dimples are tender and red, her eyebrows are picturesque, her black hair is like ink, her pretty eyes are as clear as an unfathomable pool of water, her cheeks are much plumper than Daiyu's, and her age is also more Three or four years older than Daiyu, the girl is sixteen or seventeen years old, and she is as slim as a lotus in water.

   As expected of Lin Ruhai's blood, such an appearance is really worthy of being called a fish and a wild goose, and even a black suit can't cover up its burning brilliance.

  Both of them also only recited the Buddha's name, but did not speak.

"Master, I'm afraid the two of you have already guessed our reason for coming. To tell you the truth, Miss Miaoyu's biological father, Mrs. Lin, is seriously ill and his life is short. Mr. Lin hopes to see Miss Miaoyu again in his lifetime. The last one also needs to be arranged for Ms. Miaoyu, so Feng Keng boldly begged the teacher and Ms. Miaoyu to come back to Yangzhou with us, to fulfill Mr. Lin's wish."

  When Feng Ziying said that Lin Ruhai's life would not be long, Master Liao Yuan and Miaoyu couldn't help but let out a groan, and Miaoyu trembled all over, obviously also shocked by her biological father's sudden serious illness.

Lin Ruhai visits her in Suzhou almost every year. Although she is influenced by her mother and has a lot of resentment towards Lin Ruhai, she is a father and daughter after all, and Lin Ruhai also expresses her attitude that she hopes that she can return to the family and recognize her ancestors. After being enlightened by her master, her attitude towards Lin Ruhai has changed.

But her mother was always ambiguous, and she didn't want to hate her mother because of it. In addition, she had been in the Panxiang Temple for a long time and was used to life in the temple. Instead, she was a little afraid of the lives of young ladies from rich and noble families. , worried that he would not adapt, so he never agreed to Lin Ruhai's request.

   "Amitabha! The poor nun doesn't know why Mr. Lin suddenly became seriously ill? Last year when he came to the temple, he was fine. Why..."

Master Liaoyuan also met Lin Ruhai a few times, and she has a good impression of Lin Ruhai. At the same time, she also knows that although her apprentice has some connections with Buddhism, she is not destined. There are countless connections, but she has to leave in the end, so she has actually been enlightening her apprentice.

"Master, there are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have misfortunes and blessings. Mr. Lin was overworked in his early years. After serving as the inspector of salt and censor in the past few years, because of complicated affairs and a lot of worries, once he got sick, he couldn't support him. The yamen also used many methods to extend medicine, and even invited some famous doctors from the south of the Yangtze River, but they didn't see any effect. According to those doctors, Mr. Lin is in danger of running out of oil, and it cannot be cured by manpower."

  Master Yuan stared at Feng Ziying for a while, and then said: "I don't know the origin of this Feng Keng benefactor, and his relationship with Lin Gong?"

   "Master Feng's former Jinshi and Shujishi were selected by the museum, and now the Emperor Demeng personally authorizes the Imperial Academy to edit and write." Wu Yaoqing was finally able to play a role.

  Although Mr. Liao Yuan didn't quite know the importance of selecting Shujishi and compiling manuscripts, he still knew the reputation of Jinshi and Imperial Academy.

   It's just that this young man is so young, but he is already a Jinshi and a member of the Imperial Academy. He seems to be a remarkable figure, but I don't know how he is related to Lin Ruhai?

Feng Keng could see Mrs. Yuan's doubts, so he added a joke: "The Feng family intends to become good friends with the Lin family. My family is about to hire the Lin family, and Mr. Lin is the same year as my teacher, so Mr. Lin is also my teacher." elder, that’s why I was entrusted with this trip.”

"Oh?" Master Liao Yuan took a deep look at Feng Ziying. Of course she knew that with Feng Ziying's status, it would be impossible to marry her apprentice. She must be the apprentice's half-sister. I also knew it a long time ago, but the two sisters have never met, and have never had any contact.

"Master, Mrs. Lin is seriously ill. I hope to make arrangements for Ms. Miaoyu's future. This is Mrs. Lin's greatest wish. Please believe that the wish of a parent is to hope that his children have the best destination. so…"

   Before Feng Ziying finished speaking, Miaoyu had already replied: "My heart belongs to the Buddha, and I have cut off all ties with the world."

"Ms. Miaoyu's words are wrong. Regardless of the future of the girl, but even the Buddhist school also talks about the word compassion, and the Buddhist practice also says that the dust and the world are all tempered by practice. Lin Gong is your father. Before leaving Did the previous meeting become extravagant hopes? If you can't even break through this level, what kind of practice does the girl talk about?"

  Feng Ziying smiled lightly, not annoyed by the woman's words.

Master Liaoyuan lowered his head, pondered for a long time, and then said: "Miaoyu, your father is seriously ill and wants to see you, out of love and reason, you should also go back, Buddhists can't help but be human, cut off love Judgment is just a means and a way of self-sharpening, not an end. You can go back and see your father, and you can get rid of all the thoughts in your heart. What's more, you are not yet a Buddhist. What happens in the future, you yourself Can have a clearer self-knowledge."

  Miaoyu wanted to defend herself, but in the end she retreated under the gaze of her teacher, and just bowed her head and recited the Buddha's name in a low voice, without speaking.

  Feng Ziying finally felt relieved, the first step has been taken, and only the next arrangements are left.

"Master, this Mr. Wu may be returning to Yangzhou tomorrow, and I will be delayed in Beijing for a few days because of official business. I don't know whether the master intends to go with this Mr. Wu or stay in Beijing for a while. How many days will you be with us?"

  Feng Ziying's words attracted Miaoyu's rhetorical question: "Why should we go with you? Can't we go back to Yangzhou by ourselves? Since my master has promised you, I won't change my mind,..."

"Miss misunderstood." Feng Ziying explained with a gentle attitude: "It's not long since the beginning of the year, and there is a shortage of passenger ships going south from the capital, and there are a lot of guests getting on and off along the way. I'm afraid it will disturb Shi Taiqingxiu. Mr. Wu and the others have already booked a trip. The boat is relatively quiet, and I also booked a passenger boat, so that I can go all the way south, which can save a lot of time."

Mrs. Liao Yuan chanted the Buddha's name again, "Benefactor Feng, since that's the case, the poor nun, master and apprentice will stay in Beijing for a few more days. It happens that the poor nun still has some mundane affairs to deal with. If you arrange it properly, All you need to do is go to the Muni’s courtyard and inform the poor nun.”

   "Thank you, Madam." Feng Ziying also respectfully returned the gift, "Once the arrangements are made here, I will send someone to inform Madam."

Feng Ziying is not worried that the other party will agree to go with Wu Yaoqing, if they say they want to go with Wu Yaoqing, then Wu Yaoqing will definitely have to "problem" and delay, so in the end they have to go with her, which will be delayed for a few days. That is to ask my mother to meet with her, so that she can rest assured to agree.

  Miaoyu's body seems to be much better than Daiyu's. Although she is still slender, her figure and the shape of her eyebrows are satisfactory.

   Walking out of Dinghui Temple, Feng Ziying asked Wu Yaoqing to arrange someone to continue watching secretly.

  Although it is very unlikely that the predestined relationship teacher will break his promise and break his promise, he must guard against it. He must let his mother take a look at it and agree to the marriage.

As for whether Miaoyu is willing to agree or not in the future, it doesn't matter. As long as the letter of engagement from the Feng family reaches the Lin family, it is a done deal. If you want to regret the marriage again, you must consider the reputation of Shilin. My own mother didn't even dare to risk the disgrace of the world.

  After finishing this matter, Feng Ziying was determined.

  In addition to Prince Zhongshun's long "heart-to-heart" talk, it was also fruitful.

  Especially, King Zhongshun agreed to take credit for himself and finally achieve the second uncle's posthumous title, and finally get married, which also resolved the biggest crisis and problem.

  Actually, the issue of concubine is not a big problem, the Ministry of Rites can approve it according to the procedure, but if there is a title of concubine, it needs to be approved by the emperor.

  Because this involves attacking the noble, it is impossible for me not to make a decent arrangement for Baochai, so this kind of response is the safest.

   Even if it takes a year and a half at night, it is worth it, and Baochai and his mother can feel at ease.
