The moon comes to take pictures

In August, crab fat, crabs fished from Su and Hu areas became popular in Nanjing.

The cardamom pavilion is getting more and more autumnal. A table is set up under the two laurel plants. Bao'er pokes a drawer of oily crab roe soup dumplings, and tastes one first. His cheeks are stained with yellow oily stars, and his eyes turn to the rubbing. hands of the cook.

Bao'er ate the buns with a smile: "You want to please the second master? But the second master is going to the temple at this time and is fasting, so I can only take care of it."

Hearing this, the cook leaned over with a smile: "Good brother, then say a few nice words for me, it's okay."

Bao'er raised her eyes arrogantly, "Hey" and jumped off the bench: "I have to meet more than a dozen people like you every year. Don't think that the second master has a good heart and can use some means to get ahead and let the old man know. It's easy to get out of the house."

The two of them were tugging and tugging, when the copper chime in the Buddhist hall not far away made a "dang" sound, Bao'er shook off the cook's hand with all her strength, and rolled her eyes over, "Get up!"

Before entering the front of the Buddhist hall, there was a pure smell of offering incense. Because it was left stale, it was a bit milky. Bao'er liked to smell it, so she took a light step and called softly, "Second Master, where are you going?"

Ning Ruichen came out of the Buddhist hall, and when he saw him, he took two steps back, not very happy: "What did you eat?"

"Ah!" Bao'er wiped her mouth, and sure enough, she did not wipe off the butter. She exited the small courtyard embarrassingly, and shouted from a distance of several feet: "Thank you, boss, for sending a post in the morning, and asked the second master to have a Mid-Autumn Festival gathering?" Shaking his head and muttering: "I heard that the head of their chamber of commerce has resigned, and now he is the head, what a prestige..."

"Did it say in the post, when do you want to go?" To be honest, Ning Ruichen was a little tempted, Xie Yan always had a lot of new things, and every time he went back, he would come back full of excitement.But why did Yuan Junyu always get jealous for no reason, he was worried: "Forget it, you go back for me, I will fast and worship the Buddha recently, and then go to his place, there is no reason to spoil people's happiness, so let's forget it."

After finishing speaking, he gave another order: "My luggage is packed? Tomorrow I will go up the mountain, just—"

"It's not good to always go back and forth—" Bao'er draws her voice, "I know, Second Master, every year at this time of year, how can Bao'er do something wrong?"

Ning Ruichen pretended to be angry: "Little thing is slick, it's because the master is not around, his skin is itchy? Next time, he will eat like this again, it won't be so easy to get over."

Bao'er stuck out her tongue and slipped away.

He is a child's family, he really has nothing on his mind, which is enviable.Ning Ruichen went back and knelt in front of the Buddhist altar and bowed again, closed his eyes and recited silently for a while, before returning to the room in a sense of loss.Not for anything else, just thinking about the little gathering with Yuan Junyu that day at Lanquan Temple.

Say those words, that's all, that last kiss...maybe it was a kiss on the forehead, but how could it be more embarrassing than a kiss on the mouth?

Ning Ruichen tightly closed his eyes and rubbed his cheeks.

In the past, he would not be so concerned about gains and losses, it was Yuan Junyu who made him like this.

Early the next morning, before dawn, there were many people on the mountain road.There are more people asking for incense before and after the big festival. I just entered the temple at the beginning of Mao and used some porridge. As soon as I left the door of the Zhaitang, I saw a person coming out of a slanting thorn, looking like a fire head. people bargaining.

"They're all... not used to eating... just take it easy." The speaker was a bit familiar, pulling the monk who was cooking, and explaining something.

The fire-headed monk was obviously unhappy: "They all come to the temple. I don't think there is any difference between the believers. Why do you want this or that? Why don't you come down the mountain to have a good time and embarrass me as a monk? Why bother! "

Ning Ruichen was about to leave, and the man's entangled words came intermittently in his ears, and suddenly the voice stopped abruptly, and then raised his voice: "That's not what you said... Oh, my boss!"

Ning Ruichen walked and looked, and almost bumped into the person in front of him, but was supported by a pair of hands holding a fan, and looked up, with a pair of smiling eyes, very mature and mature.

After finally unifying the chamber of commerce, Xie Yan's spirit was refreshed. Xie Yan's gaze stayed on the longevity lock on his chest: "It seems that the second master's habit of going up the mountain every Mid-Autumn Festival is still the same as before."

Ning Ruichen hesitated for a while, and stepped aside embarrassingly: "I heard that gentleman call you just now."

Xie Yan's gaze followed him like a shadow, and after a while, he slowly moved away: "I almost forgot the business." He opened the fan, hid it coquettishly in front of his face, and said to Ning Ruichen: "You stay away for a while, I came with Chang Dugong today."

Being so close, Ning Ruichen felt uncomfortable all over, but he still accepted Xie Yan's kindness: "Thank you...Thank you, Brother Weiqing."

Called Xie Yan, he didn't say anything, and walked towards the person who was talking to the fire head monk without stopping.

Ning Ruichen stood there for a while, stunned, and suddenly recalled in his head that this person named Xie Yandong's family was the same person as the shopkeeper who gave him the ivory card when he was wandering at the foot of Qingliang Mountain.That day... That day was Xie Yan's instruction?Ning Ruichen frowned immediately, it was like compensation, and it was like giving alms. For some reason, an unpleasant disgust slowly rose in his heart.

Sitting in the monk's dormitory at night, Bao'er came to report to him, saying that there were indeed eunuchs wandering around in the temple in twos and threes. They looked like they were indeed here to worship the Buddha. Bao'er inquired, and Chang Xi and Xie Yan came to invite the Buddha statue home Yes, two big figures in Nanjing, one with power and one with money, alarmed the abbot.

Bao'er lit some candles for him and put them on the table: "At this moment, Eunuch Chang finished worshiping Buddha and is no longer in the temple. Garden."

What to do there, of course, needless to say, "Sin..." Ning Ruichen closed his eyes, and recited a Buddha's name in his heart.

Bao'er went in and out to bring him water, because the eunuch had left, so he didn't have any scruples, and boldly chewed his tongue: "No, I also heard from the monk in the temple today that the eunuch Chang wanted to make a monument in the temple—— Second master, tell me, does he have any achievements to write about?"

This is simply nonsense, but after all, Ning Ruichen can't control it. The other Bao'er brought water, shook his feet, and chattered endlessly: "I still heard people say that today..." Bao'er's words suddenly stopped. After stagnation, the tone changed: "Thank you... Lord!"

All the eunuchs had left, but Xie Yan didn't?

Ning Ruichen didn't know why, but he had a strange premonition that he didn't want to talk to Xie Yan, but he had no choice. In the future, in Nanjing, he would have to communicate more or less. It's not good to embarrass people face to face, so he stood up, separated A dusty curtain in the monk's dormitory: "Brother Weiqing is here to look for me?"

Xie Yan on the other end seemed to be hoarse and didn't speak for a long time.In this gap, Bao'er came in shivering, already frightened to the point of shit, with a mournful round face, winked at Ning Ruichen and begged for mercy, afraid that Xie Yan would listen to what she said just now.

"Brother Weiqing?" Ning Ruichen had no choice but to lift the door curtain, and looked at Xie Yan across two thresholds.

Xie Yan held on to the door frame, fearing that he had escaped from the entertainment, so he drank a little wine and wandered around in the temple.

Ning Ruichen didn't move, allowing Xie Yan to look at him from above.

"Rui'er, let's talk, shall we?"

Ning Ruichen took a breath and didn't want to agree. Just when he was about to refuse, Xie Yan said again: "I know, you blame me, what happened in the past..."

This is probably a drunkard, Ning Ruichen perfunctory him: "The relationship between our two families, you have not changed, I have not changed." As he said, he asked Bao'er to find someone to take him back to where he should go.

"Is it really the same?" Xie Yan mumbled, but he didn't dare to take a step forward, maybe the candlelight in front of Ning Ruichen's desk was too bright, and he was afraid of burning his hands, "Rui'er, you call me Weiqing , why? Has this not changed?"

He stood there, refusing to enter or retreat, aggressive: "Why... why are you refusing to see me these days? Is it because of him? He forced you?"

Xie Yan didn't need to point it out, Ning Ruichen also knew who that "he" was, and immediately became unhappy: "It has nothing to do with anyone, why do you think about others like this?"

Xie Yan was quite hurt: "It's my fault, I'm not choosing what to say." He wanted to step in, but he couldn't stand firmly, and fell to the outside with a bang, which made Bao'er jump up in fright, and ran a few steps over help.

"No, no need!" Xie Yan looked at Ning Ruichen pitifully, and begged him: "Rui'er...just take pity on me and call me again. Call Brother Yan again, okay?"

It's just a title, Ning Ruichen couldn't figure out why he was so persistent: "I called, you go home, it's late at night, don't wander outside."

Xie Yan didn't speak, but Ning Ruichen knew that he agreed, so he wiped his face with great reluctance, and even asked Bao'er to extinguish a few candles, hesitated for a long time in the dark monk's dormitory, and called out vaguely One sound.

After hearing this, Xie Yan kept his promise, got up immediately, turned around and disappeared into the darkness without saying anything.
