Du Fa was aware that he was in the wrong, but he was also in a rush.
Who knew that these people would be so serious, even spreading such rumors?
"You know, I've just arrived, and I can't really help you," he sat down, opened the box, and brought out a stack of vegetarian dishes while murmuring, "Aiyo, you really can eat this dish of yours?"
He believed that Xie Wanqing could eat one or two meals every now and then, but if she ate consecutively for a few days, then he would truly have a whole new level of respect for Xie Wanqing.
For a seven-year-old child, what they loved the most was the desire to talk.
"It's good to get used to it." Xie Wanqing said.
"Alright, why have you come to find me today?"
"To a master, it is but a small matter." "Xie Wan looked at him and spoke very softly." I only need a string of the buddhist beads that the master opened. "
That was a simple matter.
The so-called enlightenment was just a few days of chanting with the buddhist beads in hand. However …
"What do you want this for?"
"In half a month's time, it will be the birthday celebration of the old mistress of the mansion. Grandmother has believed in Buddha for many years, and Xianqing wants to gift her a string of opened buddhist beads from Master Du Fa." Xie Wanqing said obediently.
It was true that the old lady believed in the Buddha, but if she truly believed in the Buddha, she would not have seen Xie Wanyun and her fighting so fiercely, but she would still turn a blind eye, and watch from the sidelines. He had even sold several maids to the pavilion, and with the death of the Mama Feng at the back, he had even given her buddhist beads. On the surface, he had given her buddhist beads because he believed in the buddhist faith, but that was not the case.
Not long ago, there was even the matter of Du Fa and Shouxi School, and the current situation is flourishing, who in the capital does not know of him. It was a pity that those rich and powerful people did everything they could to see Du Fa, but they never thought that the person who sat in the corner and copied the Buddhist scriptures so crookedly was the person they were looking for.
If Xie Wanqing could get Du Fa's Blessed Buddha Bead, not only would Buddha beads be useful, just this honor would be a part of the capital. The old lady's birthday present would include the State Protector's Buddha Bead, which was the old lady's dignity, and also the dignity of Marquis Anyang's Mansion.
When the time came, no matter what good things the others sent her, it wouldn't be able to surpass her.
Xie Wanqing had always been suppressed by Xie Wanyun, but this time, she had to fight for it. Not only in front of the old lady, but also the guests.
"It's that simple?" Du Fa was in disbelief.
"It's that simple. I still have a gift for you, Master Du Fa. Xie Wanqing laughed so much that her eyes curved into crescents, but Du Fa felt that things were not that simple.
Sure enough, in the next moment, he heard her say: "As a gift of thanks, let Master Du Fa come to the residence for a cup of tea on Grandmother's birthday."
This was asking him to give her face.
Xie Wanqing was only seven years old after all. Even if she took his buddhist beads back, very few people would believe her. After all, even though most of the nobles were looking for Du Fa, they couldn't even meet face to face. And Xie Wanqing only stayed in the Hanshan Temple for a few days, before she was able to obtain the thing.
Not many people would believe it.
Furthermore, if Du Fa had gone to the Marquis Anyang's Mansion that day, he would have been giving her face and telling everyone that he had a deep relationship with Xie Wanqing.
Du Fa naturally knew that they were going to drag him to the Marquis Anyang's Mansion's position.
Therefore, he refused: "No, don't think that I don't know what you are planning. At that time, not only will you be annoyed to death by those people, even my position in the future will be tied together with your Marquis Anyang's Mansion. Can you be a little more kind? "
He was only a wild monk, but the emperor was always so moody. If he were to get involved in all this, who knows how long it would take for him to lose his head.
Xie Wanqing already knew that he wouldn't agree so easily. As she ate, she said, "Then what conditions do you have? You can raise them.
"What can a seven-year-old child like you help me with?" Du Fa hugged his chest and laughed.
"Of course." Xie Wanqing looked at him proudly, "For example, copying the Buddhist scriptures."
Du Fa was inside the Hanshan Temple, but he did not see him outside the hall, so he could only hide inside. Normally, she let Yue Xin wander around, but there was no one like him, that was just hiding in a corner to copy Buddhist scriptures.
The Hanshan Temple had a rule, that monks had to copy a fixed number of Buddhist scriptures every day. Du Fa rarely saw him, he must have been forced to write Buddhist scriptures.
Du Fa was having a headache just about copying from the books every day, and upon hearing her say that, he immediately changed his mind.
Although he didn't want to get involved in those troublesome matters, that was a matter for the future. It was more important for him to get past his current predicament.
"Let me see what you're copying first. I want the scriptures of Hanshan Temple to be copied by not just anyone." Previously, he had heard from the little monks that she had copied neatly, but he had seen it before, so he did not believe it.
Seeing him say that, Xie Wanqing knew it would work.
"Oh, it's over there." She pointed to the window. There was a wooden table with a Buddhist scripture on it and her manuscript next to it.
Du Fa went over to look at them one by one. The little monk wasn't lying, his handwriting was indeed neat and tidy. With a glance, he could tell that it was a serendipitous copy.
"How is it, does Hanshan Temple accept this kind of thing?"
After Xie Wanqing finished her meal, she walked over and asked.
The two of them sat cross-legged under the window. Outside the window, there was a osmanthus tree full of flowers. The autumn wind blew past, and the fragrance was extremely intoxicating. It gave off a sense of tranquility, just like when Du Fa was in the wild.
"Of course it's to be taken," Du Fa said suddenly with a stern expression. "Just that, you're already so deep in your thoughts at such a young age, it's truly …"
He was used to wandering around, and would sometimes come to find Shen Yuan only because he was tired, just like a prodigal son returning home. But this time, it was just a moment of excitement, he did not want to get a false reputation. Seeing Xie Wanqing acting like this again, he could not help but be pulled into the conflict in the mortal world.
However, she hated restrictions the most. In front of him, Xie Wanqing was the most miserable one who was restricted by the world's rules of etiquette. She had thought so much at the age of seven, but she didn't know what would happen in the future. He had originally intended to chat with her more, so perhaps it might be able to dispel some of the jealousy and jealousy in her heart.
The things that were on her body were still there. How was she going to put them down?
Even if he were to let it go, it would not be long before his life would be no longer in danger.
Those battles in the backyard were the most brutal.
From the looks of it, he had almost become the person that harmed her.
In the blink of an eye, Du Fa had already thought about it. He had studied Buddhist techniques for half his life, but he still could not escape the thinking of the common people. However, because of this, he was not a Buddha, but a human.
"What is it?" Xie Wanqing asked.
"Nothing." Du Fa shut his mouth and did not speak any further.
The two of them looked out the window at the osmanthus tree swaying in the autumn wind. Outside the courtyard, the green mountains were quiet. Occasionally, there would be a bird cry.
After a long while, when Xie Wanqing was asleep leaning on the table, Du Fa finally got up. He took off his cassock and covered her with it, performed a buddhist ritual, picked up the leftovers, and put it in the food box before taking her leave.
Xie Wanqing stayed in the Hanshan Temple for half a month, and every day she would recite buddhist chanting, so her days passed by quickly.
After that day, Du Fa would often come to deliver food to her, and casually take back the scriptures that she had copied down for him. His cassock was extremely big, and after he wrapped it up, he could no longer see anything.
The other monks in the temple were all surprised. Although Du Fa had only been here for a short time, his personality was clear and simple. He was just a wild monk that liked to eat and do.
After sealing it, it was sealed, and according to the rules, Du Fa was the host for them. Originally, they wanted him to go out and receive the guests, but the result was good.
However, he did not copy the scriptures properly, and the handwriting was messy and perfunctory. Everyone could not bear to watch any longer. But no matter how much he tried to persuade her, it was useless. After saying a few more words, Du Fa said that he was the host here to scare people.
Now, in the past half month, it could be said that the scriptures that Du Fa copied everyday had earth-shattering changes.
