Chapter 467 Old Naughty Boy
"Mother, the flowers over there are more beautiful. Let's go over there a little bit." Su Yunruo suggested, holding Lu's arm.
The flowers are in full bloom, the autumn is in full swing, and the beauty is breathtaking everywhere.
Lu was so engrossed in it that he seemed reluctant to leave.
Su Yunruo secretly pulled Su Yujin aside to talk, "Sister Jin, your idea is really good. Mother has made a decision and will report back to the Cai family after she returns."
She was relieved.
Su Yujin reached out and patted the back of Su Yunruo's hand, then smiled.
That's exactly her way.
The contingency plan devised in an emergency was clearly full of loopholes. Rather than saying that Lu believed what the host said, it would be better to say that Lu saw through the two women's thoughts and just went with the flow.
Some things should not be spoken out loud to preserve the dignity of both people.
However, since Mrs. Lu did not bring it up, Su Yujin did not explain it at this time. She just followed Mrs. Lu and Su Yunruo to see the flourishing flowers in front of them.
At noon, the three of them had a vegetarian meal at Yunling Temple.
The rice used for steaming, the potatoes used in stews, the dried beans, eggplants, radishes, early cabbages, etc. are all grown by the monks in the temple. Not only are they carefully cared for on a daily basis, but they are also watered with mountain spring water, and they taste excellent.
Just as I put down my bowl and chopsticks, He Yanxiu came.
Seeing this, Lu and Su Yunruo left on the pretext of continuing to enjoy the flowers in the back hills.
Su Yujin and He Yanxiu sat down at the stone table in the Zen temple, and a young monk brought them tea.
"Now you're rushing over here with such eager eyes, are you afraid that I can't even handle these things?" Su Yujin's face was full of mischief.
"I'm not worried about you, I'm just worried about that old monk." He Yanxiu took a sip of tea.
"Didn't he accept the autumn scenery painting you gave him and agreed to this matter?" Su Yujin was a little surprised.
"That's true, but this old monk has always been eccentric and doesn't look like a monk at all. I'm really worried about him..."
Before He Yanxiu finished speaking, a hearty laugh came from far away. Master Yuanle walked up to the two of them and looked at He Yanxiu. "Amitabha, Master He still hasn't changed his habit of speaking ill of others behind their backs."
"Why do you say that?" He Yanxiu raised his eyebrows. "You have been standing at the door since half a cup of tea ago, and I just said this. Based on this, I said these words in front of you. How can you say it behind your back?"
Master Yuanle looked embarrassed and laughed, "Amitabha, I have no intention of eavesdropping on what Master He said."
"I never said that Master Yuanle had this intention. Why is Master Yuanle so anxious to admit it?" He Yanxiu smiled cunningly, "Master Yuanle's move is a bit of a cover-up!"
Master Yuan, "..."
Can you live without insulting me? Master Yuanle threw the Buddhist beads in his hand onto the table next to him and sat down angrily, "Whatever, whatever, I can't win the argument with you?"
After saying that, he snatched the teacup from He Yanxiu's hand and drank it all in one breath.
He Yanxiu didn't mind. He just took the teapot and filled the cup again. "It looks like you have been preaching for a long time. You must be thirsty."
"It's not just thirsty, my throat is almost smoking." Master Yuan Liao grumbled helplessly, "I originally just wanted to take a break from my busy life, but now that I'm here with you, I can't relax either."
What a load of nonsense.
Bickering like a child!
I really don’t know when you, He Yanxiu, will grow up.
Master Yuanle glanced at He Yanxiu.
He Yanxiu spread his hands helplessly.
You are so old and a Buddhist, but you are still so dishonest. How can you have the nerve to talk about others?
The two men narrowed their eyes and had another battle of glances.
And the result was very obvious, He Yanxiu gained the upper hand again.
Master Yuanliao looked dejected. Although He Yanxiu only smiled slightly, one could see a strong sense of pride in his expression.
Only Su Yujin almost dropped her jaw when she saw the appearance of the two people.
Yunling Temple is a national temple. She had often heard about Master Yuanle and knew that he was a highly respected monk. When she met him in the back mountain just now, she also felt that he had the demeanor of a master.
But now it seems...
He is just like an old naughty boy? You can't judge a person by his appearance.
"You don't have to be surprised. Master Yuanle has been like this since he was a child. Comprehending Buddhist principles does not conflict with his personality." As if seeing Su Yujin's confusion, He Yanxiu explained.
"You've been like this since you were a kid?" Su Yujin said jokingly, "You're saying this as if you've seen it before."
"Although I have never met him, I have often heard Master Wu Liao mention him." He Yanxiu said, "Master Wu Liao was the previous abbot of Yunling Temple, and he was also Master Yuan Liao's teacher. I lived in Yunling Temple for a period of time when I was young, and Master Wu Liao often mentioned to me the interesting daily life of Master Yuan Liao when he first went up the mountain to become a young novice monk."
"I see." Su Yujin nodded, but was surprised. "I've never heard you mention living in Yunling Temple before. I only heard you mention that you often went in and out of the palace and the Lu family when you were young, and learned martial arts from Duke Dingguo."
"But speaking of this, why did you live in Yunling Temple for a period of time when you were young?"
Su Yujin thought for a moment, "Could it be because of the injury he suffered when he was young?"
He Yanxiu was injured when he was young.
It was also because of this injury that he lost his sense of taste for many years until he met her.
If a child is seriously injured, most people will think that he has collided with something. If he stays in a Buddhist temple for a while, it can resolve the evil in his life and help him grow up safely.
"It's not because of that incident..."
Before He Yanxiu could finish his words, Master Yuanle leaned over and said, "It was because when he was young, he followed his elders to Yunling Temple to burn incense. Because he was naughty, he knocked over the incense burner in the master's room and burned several scriptures that the master had copied."
"The master kept Mr. He in the temple for this reason and asked him to copy the scriptures before he would let him go, so he lived in the temple for several months."
"But many years later, Master regretted keeping Master He in the temple for such a long time."
"Do you think copying so many scriptures is too much punishment for a child?" Su Yujin asked.
"That's not the case." Master Yuanliao shook his head. "It's because during the time that Lord He lived in the temple, he destroyed the entire temple. Wherever he went, it's not an exaggeration to say that not even a blade of grass grew."
Su Yujin, "..."
So there is such a story? Now looking at the steady and introverted He Yanxiu, he was actually a naughty child when he was young?
Su Yujin's surprised eyes moved around He Yanxiu's body again and again, as if looking for confirmation.
He Yanxiu was just embarrassed by the look on his face. He coughed lightly and glanced at Master Yuanle, "You actually have time to talk nonsense here. Have you prepared everything for the temple?"
