Chapter 226 Buddha
Zhu Huaizhen thought that Lou Li would come to find her.
After all, the chess piece, the Eighth Wise King Zhao De, is no longer under control.
Therefore, she stayed in Haiyue Cottage and waited patiently.
Orioles chirp at dawn in the jade trees of Jinling, flowers bloom early in the Qinhuai waterside pavilions. Who knew the ice would melt so easily? I watched him build his red mansion, I watched him entertain guests, and I watched his mansion collapse. Here, amidst the mossy, blue tiles, I once slept in a dreamlike state; I've witnessed fifty years of rise and fall. No one in Wuyi Lane is surnamed Wang, ghosts cry at Mochou Lake, and owls roost on Phoenix Terrace. Dreams of the ruined mountains are the most real, the old land hard to lose. I don't believe this map is changing manuscripts. I'll compose a lament for Jiangnan, and sing it until I grow old.
Ahem, if you don’t listen to “Peach Blossom Fan”, you are not Princess Ronghua.
It turns out that all the vibrant flowers are now abandoned to the broken wells and dilapidated walls. What can be done about the beautiful scenery? Who can enjoy the joyful moments? Morning flies and evening rolls away, clouds and mists adorning the emerald pavilion; raindrops and wind, misty waves and painted boats - the people of the brocade screen look down upon this beautiful time.
Of course, she also listened to "The Peony Pavilion" for a while.
Then, she couldn't sit still anymore and went out to find out some gossip.
The Eighth Sage King, Zhao De, claimed that he had passed by the Arhat Temple and had a dream. The Deer-Seated Arhat, the Joyful Arhat, the Bowl-Lifting Arhat, the Pagoda-Carrying Arhat, the Meditation Arhat, the River-Crossing Arhat, the Elephant-Riding Arhat, the Laughing Lion Arhat, the Happy Arhat, the Hand-Stretching Arhat, the Contemplative Arhat, the Ear-Picking Arhat, the Cloth-Bag Arhat, the Long-Eyebrowed Arhat, the Gatekeeper Arhat, the Dragon-Subduing Arhat, and the Tiger-Subduing Arhat all took turns reminiscing with him, each asking why he had passed by his home without entering.
After waking up from the dream, he had a great enlightenment and became a monk in Luohan Temple, taking Bajiao Luohan as his teacher.
"It's boring." Zhu Huaizhen muttered a few words and planned to go back to Haiyue Cottage to continue listening to the opera.
However, a few raindrops fell from the sky, prompting the flowers to bloom.
Zhu Huaizhen suddenly thought, since the rain was hitting the banana leaves, he might as well hide in the teahouse.
Then, the rain got heavier.
Zhu Huaizhen held his rosy cheeks, shook his head and laughed.
We can probably see a big show today.
Sure enough, Zhao De was leaning on a bamboo stick, wearing straw sandals, and distributing umbrellas made of banana leaves to people along the way.
Such thoughtful behavior is enough to impress a lot of people.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao De stepped into the teahouse, as if he had never seen Zhu Huaizhen before.
Without revealing his identity, he performed the ritual of a monk, asking the teahouse owner for hot tea. It didn't have to be a fancy tea, just plain tea would do. He emptied all the copper coins in his purse, spread them out in his palm, and waited for the owner's response.
How could the teahouse owner not know Zhao De's identity?
However, I run a small shop and earn money through hard work, so I don’t want to do charity.
"Your Highness the Virtuous King, if you want to do good deeds, count me in." Zhu Huaizhen emphasized the word "Virtuous King", but smiled innocently.
She took out a gold-thread hollow flower hairpin, made of pure gold and heavy, which must be worth some money, so as to save the teahouse owner from being in a dilemma.
The teahouse owner took the gold-thread flower-tube hairpin, weighed it, and smiled.
Thus, half of the credit for the wise king's good deed of distributing hot tea was taken away by Zhu Huaizhen.
Of course, the person who received the hot tea didn't know it, but he was extremely grateful to the wise king.
In contrast, the virtuous king is no longer a virtuous king, and a piece of news about his flaws that cannot be covered up has come out, namely that the virtuous king likes to stand on the moral high ground to gain fame and reputation.
"Princess Ronghua, can you please stay peacefully in Haiyue Cottage?" Zhao De chose a stormy day and, unable to bear it any longer, broke into Haiyue Cottage, but he clasped his hands together and put on a compassionate look.
"That depends on the sincerity of His Royal Highness the King." Zhu Huaizhen smiled like a flower, his eyes moving.
She was not at all surprised by Zhao De's arrival.
These days, she has been trying to make things difficult for Zhao De whenever she goes out, preventing him from becoming a Buddhist who saves all living beings. She has been waiting for this day.
