Chapter 206 (Full version) The Cold Buddhist Girl and the Sinister Young City Lord 1
The small world has been transferred.
Cha Jiu opened her eyes and found herself in a quiet and elegant meditation room. This was her residence.
Outside the door, a nun knocked politely: "Yu Jing, are you awake?"
Yujing is the Buddhist name of Cha Jiu in Lianhuaan.
She has a Buddha Lotus Heart that can penetrate all things, and when people see her, it is like seeing a bright mirror.
So the abbot of Lotus Temple, Master Jingdan, gave her this Buddhist name.
"I'm awake. What's up?" Cha Jiu got up from the hard couch and put on his clothes.
The nun outside the door said, "The abbot wants you to go to the Dharma Hall."
The Dharma Hall is where the abbot Jingdan lectures the nuns and gives them morning lessons.
However, today Jingtan caught a cold and her voice was hoarse, so she could only invite Chajiu to come over and explain the sutras to the little nuns.
The original body had a deep understanding of Buddhism. Cha Jiu integrated her memories and his interpretation of the scriptures was full of insights, which made the Dharma Hall silent and the little nuns listened attentively.
Jingtan sat aside and listened, nodding repeatedly with a gratified expression.
She had always known that although this disciple was young, he had a heart as pure as a lotus and was extremely intelligent.
If Cha Jiu's fate had not yet arrived and she was still practicing with her hair uncut, Jing Tan would have wanted to appoint her as the next abbot long ago.
After the morning class ended, Jingtan kept Chajiu.
"After listening to your explanation today, I know that your practice has improved. How wonderful."
Jingtan smiled, the fine lines at the end of her eyes showing her closeness to Chen, "In this case, it is appropriate to leave the reception of the Qingzhou Shen family to you."
Cha Jiu was slightly surprised: "The city lord of Qingzhou Shen family who led the army to rule the city"
Jingtan nodded, "That's right, but the person who came is Qingzhou's young city lord Shen Suyuan. It is said that he is haunted by evil spirits and cannot sleep day and night. City lord Shen has sought out many doctors for him but none of them could help. So he wants to seek help from the gods and Buddhas and come to the Lotus Temple to listen to the Dharma and purify his mind."
As wars broke out everywhere, people became more inclined towards Buddhism, and temples and nunneries became highly respected.
Lianhua Temple is located on the border between Qingzhou and Hengzhou and is famous for its century-long history.
Master Jingdan is a highly respected abbot in the hearts of the people.
It was also expected that the Shen family would approach Lianhua Temple.
Jingtan continued, "This matter is of great importance. Unfortunately, I have caught a cold and my voice is broken. I am afraid I can't carry on. After much thought, it is only appropriate for me to entrust this matter to you."
The system said happily: "It was easy to get it. Shen Suyuan came to us on his own."
Cha Jiu lowered his head and responded.
There was also a nun in the Dharma Hall who was tidying up the cushions. Her name was Jiyan.
Her face was like a pure white lotus petal, her almond eyes were clear, and she looked innocent.
At this time, she was also eager to try: "Master, can I also participate in this matter and take turns with my junior sister to preach the sutra for the young city lord?"
Jing Tan rebuked: "The Young Lord of the Shen Family is not an ordinary person. How can he allow you to take turns to lecture on the sutras in such a frivolous way?"
Ji Yan was scolded and pouted slightly, looking unhappy.
The system introduced Cha Jiu: "Ji Yan was an abandoned baby. She was adopted by Jing Tan in a nunnery since she was young. She has developed some Buddha nature and occasionally has insights that are eye-opening. However, she is sometimes too kind and sometimes a little vain."
As expected, Jingtan's next sentence was criticism: "Jiyan, your lack of maturity and stability has not happened overnight. When will you be able to improve? A few days ago, you secretly took in a male guest who was seriously injured and whose origins were unknown. I have not criticized you yet."
Ji Yan was a little unconvinced: "That man was a hunter living nearby. He was seriously injured by bandits while hunting. He finally crawled to the door of the nunnery to ask for help. If I didn't save him, wouldn't it be a loss of life?"
Cha Jiu searched for this incident in his original body's memory and slowly said, "There is a clinic nearby, we can send him there for treatment. Besides, since he said he lives nearby, it makes sense to invite his family over."
"But it is unreasonable to keep him in the nunnery to recuperate without confirming his identity."
Ji Yan sneered: "The meditation room in the Lotus Temple is only for the wealthy and powerful like the Shen family of Qingzhou, but not for ordinary hunters. Junior Sister Yu Jing, you have always been praised by Master as the person with the most Buddhist heart. Why does your Buddhist heart still divide people into different levels?"
Seeing that she didn't grasp her main point that she was a person of "unknown origin", Cha Jiu didn't want to waste any more words on her and just talk to a wall.
Jingtan said helplessly, "Alright, alright, stop arguing. I have already asked a yamen runner from Qingzhou to investigate the identity of this man. If he is really an ordinary hunter, he will stay in the nunnery to recuperate."
In troubled times, Jingtan has to be more cautious.
…
A few days passed, and judging by the distance, the Shen family's carriage should have arrived.
But what Cha Jiu was waiting for first was the person sent by the Hengzhou Jiang family to deliver silver every month.
The person who came was a nanny wearing a navy blue coat, with broad cheeks and small eyes, and she was followed by a coachman driving a horse-drawn carriage.
Seeing Cha Jiu coming out of the nunnery, Madam Zhao curled her lips, rolled her eyes toward the sky, and complained impatiently: "Why did you take so long to come out? It will take me another hour to get back to Hengzhou!"
She showed no respect to Cha Jiu and did not regard him as her master at all.
In fact, everyone in the Jiang family, from the master to the servants, almost forgot that there was an unmarried young lady practicing Buddhism in the Lotus Temple.
Cha Jiu took the floating money bag from her hand and poured out the silver inside in public.
There were a few scattered pieces of silver, the largest of which was not even as big as a thumb.
"This is the money the Jiang family asks you to bring every month."
Cha Jiu's cold voice sounded like the collision of jade rings.
She raised her eyes and looked directly at Nanny Zhao, her clear and penetrating eyes seemed to be able to see through all the false lies.
Madam Zhao was shocked by her gaze, but she quickly reacted and said stubbornly, "That's all."
Even though she gave Cha Jiu this, Aunt Zhao still felt heartbroken!
She would have liked to have embezzled all the money.
Cha Jiu said slowly: "The Jiang family believes in Buddhism. Even if they don't care about their relationship with me, they still donate a lot of money to the Lotus Temple every month. Now you only take out this little change. Are you trying to deceive your superiors and deceive your subordinates?"
Among the pilgrims coming in and out of the nunnery, there were also people from Hengzhou who knew the Jiang family.
When they saw the small amount of change in Cha Jiu's hand, they all shook their heads, sighed, or laughed.
The Jiang family is a wealthy family after all, but they are so stingy, even worse than ordinary families. How can they be considered sincere?
No wonder the Jiang family's business has been going downhill over the years, and even their two children are sickly and weak.
Nanny Zhao was stunned.
In the past, the young lady would just take the money and leave, not caring how much was in it. But now, why is she being counted in public and being difficult with her?
However, Madam Zhao insisted that this was the amount of silver that the Jiang family asked them to take.
Cha Jiu stopped arguing with her and said calmly, "Okay, if you say you didn't embezzle the money, then do you dare to swear to the gods and Buddhas? But you have to think clearly. Anyone in the world who tells lies and makes excuses will be punished by having their tongue pulled out, and will be in excruciating pain."
Ji Yan listened for a long time and finally couldn't help but speak: "Yu Jing, offering is a matter of the heart, no matter how much, it can't be forced. Now you force people to swear a poisonous oath for such a trivial thing, it's too vicious!"
She didn't know the relationship between Cha Jiu and the Jiang family, she just thought that Cha Jiu felt that the offering from the Jiang family was not enough.
Cha Jiu ignored Ji Yan and continued to stare at Madam Zhao: "Do you dare to swear?"
She has a heart of Buddha, and any false words she uttered at the cost of a poisonous oath will come true.
Aunt Zhao didn't know, she sneered and said: "I swear, if I embezzle your money, you will make my tongue rot, my mouth ulcerate, and my body covered with herpes. Are you satisfied?"
For some reason, as soon as Nanny Zhao said this, she suddenly felt a cold wind rushing up from the soles of her feet, making her back chill.
At this time, a luxurious carriage with gold carvings and the family crest of the Qingzhou nobles stopped not far away, taking in the entire farce.
