    [1] "Poetry. Xiaoya. Liao'e" [1] The Book of Songs

    Polygonum Polygonum Zhee, Bandit Yi Artemisia;

    Mourning for my parents, who gave birth to me.

    Polygonum Zhee, Bandit Yiwei;

    Mourning for my parents, I am exhausted.

    Ming Ben and Wan Zhedu left the abbot one after the other, and saw Liu Ruyan not far away, stretching out her small hand to pick a branch of lilac that was in full bloom.

    Ming Ben hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Amitabha, girl, don't hurt it."

    Ruyan immediately let go, and followed Elder Ming to the Buddha Hall.

    Mingben said to Ruyan: "This altar is ready. It will open on the 16th, and the merits will be completed on the 18th. Please invite the old lady and young lady to offer incense."

    Zhe Du asked: "Dare to ask the elder, why do you burn incense in the Taoist temple?"

    "This is the filial piety of the lady of the doctor's family. Firstly, it is to repay the kindness of the parents for raising them, and secondly, it is also to pray for the health of the father, so it is a good thing to do a good deed."

    After hearing this, Zhe Du understood the meaning of being a dojo.  I heard that my junior sister also came to burn incense, isn't that a good opportunity to get close?  Don't miss this opportunity, you must think of a clever plan.  After thinking for a while, he said, "Ashamed, ashamed!" As he spoke, he burst into tears.

    Mingben thought it was strange, he was doing well, why were he crying?  Then he asked, "Sir, what is it that makes you sad?"

    Zhe Du said: "I miss Wan Sheng ["Sheng" is Wan Zhe Du's character], I lost my father when I was young, and it was not easy for my mother to support me Not to mention that I have never invited a monk to set up an altar to recommend the super-delivery, even a stranger  The paper money has never been incinerated'Mourning for my parents, giving birth to me, wanting to repay my deep kindness, Haotian Wangji'. Thinking that the eldest lady is a woman, she still has the heart to repay her parents, and Xiaosheng is in vain for a seven-foot man.  The lake and the sea are wandering, and you haven't done a little bit of filial piety so far, so you are worthy of shame! So sad, the elder laughed."

    Ming Ben was very moved when he heard this, thinking that this Mongolian scholar was still a filial son, he sympathized and said: "Sir, there is no need to be sad, let alone blame yourself. Mr. is a Mongolian clan, and he believes in Shamanism [2].  All the same!"

    "I implore the elders to be compassionate and convenient, try to share a meal with Xiaosheng, and recommend their parents."

    "Mr. is so filial, the old monk should provide convenience. As long as you spend 5,000 Wen, the attached meal is enough."

    "Thank you, elder! However, although the elder agrees, I don't know if the wife and miss agree? If not, it will be in vain."

    "Don't worry, Mr. Madam, there is an old monk to intercede. I think Madam and Miss will be reasonable, so I forgive you. This matter is on the old monk's shoulders."

    "Elder's kindness, Xiaosheng will never forget it!"

    Ming Ben said to Wu Chen who was beside him: "Wu Chen, bring a meal for the master."

    Wu Chen replied: "Of order!"

    Ming Ben said: "The business is done, please go to the abbot to have tea."

    A group of people walked out of the hall one after another, with Ruyan at the head and Zhe Du at the end.

    Zhe Du thought: on the day of the Buddhist service, if the junior sister didn't come, wouldn't it be a waste of five thousand dollars?  Be sure to understand clearly who to ask?  Seeing Wu Chen falling behind, he deliberately slowed down.

    He turned his head and asked quietly: "Little master, on the day when the doctor's house is built as a dojo, will the master and wife come out to burn incense?"

    Wuchen said: "I'm afraid the master won't be able to come. His illness is getting worse every day. Otherwise, why do we need to do this temple?"

    "The young lady won't chat, otherwise who will take care of the master at home?"

    "Mr. is talking nonsense! This is her job to repay her parents, how can she not come?"

    Zhe Du breathed a sigh of relief: The five thousand dollars is well spent.

    Convinced, Zhe Du thought again that Ruyan would be coming out soon after arriving at the abbot, why not wait a while and say a few words to her, so he slowed down his pace.

    Wu Chen was too lazy to accompany him, so he went straight to the abbot.

    [2] The Analects of "See no evil"

    The Master said: "Do not see anything that is not in accordance with the propriety, do not listen to anything that is not in accordance with the propriety,

    Do not speak indecently, do not move indecently.  "

    When Ruyan arrived at the abbot, she said to Mingben: "Thank you, elder, my daughter won't have tea, I'm afraid the school secretary will blame me for being late, so I have to call back quickly." Then she said goodbye.

    Ruyan came out of the abbot, headed straight back with her head down, happened to collide with Wan Zhedu, and was shocked, when she was blushing and panicking, Zhedu hurriedly bowed to Ruyan, "  Miss Sister salutes!"

    Return the gift like smoke, "Wanfu, Mr. Wan!"

    "Why didn't my sister say hello to Xiaosheng? Could it be that she didn't recognize Xiaosheng?"

    "Didn't you tell the school clerk that we were not allowed to recognize each other?" Ruyan said in a bad tone, "Today it's up to me to blame me!"

     "Sister, don't be angry, Xiaosheng will apologize to you." Wan Zhedu saluted again, "Sister is always good!"

    As if the smoke still persists, "What's the matter, I've turned into a maid."

    "Where did this start?"

    Ruyan then told Zhe Du about the exchange of serving Yu Meipan between herself and Qiu Ju.

    When he heard that Ruyan was by his junior sister's side now, Zhe Du was overjoyed, God helped me!  "Great, I happen to have something to trouble my sister."

    Seeing Zhe Du's happy expression, Ruyan said: "You should go to act!"

    "Why are you acting?"

    "I cried a lot at the abbot's place just now, and now I am laughing here again. Wouldn't it be a pity not to act?"

    "My sister is young and doesn't understand the emotions of adults."

    "What fun can you have? Isn't it just because you fell in love with my junior sister!"

    When Zhe Du heard this, he quickly stopped him, "My good sister, please don't say anything, especially don't let Elder Ming know that I just found a place to live in this Pujiu Temple."

    "Are you going to live in Pujiu Temple too?"

    "That's right, we can't let the teacher know about this, otherwise all the layout of Xiaosheng will be abolished."

    "Why don't you let the teacher know? It stands to reason that you should visit the teacher?"

    "My sister doesn't know, Xiaosheng has something difficult."

    "What's the problem?"

    "Four years ago, when I first came to Beijing for the exam, I went to the teacher's house once."

    "Oh~"

    "I'm going to propose a marriage."

    Ruyan smiled and said, "Propose marriage for yourself?"

    "yes!"

    "You don't know that our Han people are 'the words of the matchmaker'? If you come to propose marriage yourself, you will definitely be rejected."

    "My sister guessed right! The teacher said that the younger sister is already engaged."

    "That doesn't prevent you from visiting the teacher now."

    "I saw the expression on my teacher's wife, as if she didn't want me to go to her house."

    "Oh~, then why are you still here, go home quickly! It seems that you have nothing to do."

    "But I can't forget the way my junior sister looked at me."

    "Eyes?"

    "Looks of hope!"

    "I hope junior sister agrees to marry you?"

    Zhe Du recalled affectionately: "Yesterday, Junior Sister gave Xiaosheng a look at Xiaosheng, which made Xiaosheng very grateful. Dare I ask my sister, does Junior Sister come out often?"

    "Mr. is a scholar in vain. Have you forgotten what the old master said? The master said: 'Do not see what is wrong with the propriety, do not hear what is wrong with the propriety, do not speak anything that is contrary to the propriety, and do not move anything that is contrary to the propriety'."

    Notes

    [1] The full text of "Poetry. Xiaoya. Liao'e":

    Polygonum Polygonum Zhee, bandit Yi Artemisia.  Mourning for my parents, giving birth to me.

    Polygonum who is Polygonum, bandit Yiwei.  Mourning my parents, I am exhausted.

    The bottle is exhausted, and the shame of Weizheng.  The life of fresh people is not as long as death.

    What is the parent without a father?  What can I rely on without a mother?  If you go out, you will get a shirt, and if you go in, you will be exhausted.

    The father gave birth to me, and the mother bowed to me.  Caress me, breeds me, caresses me, caresses me, enters and exits me.  Desire to repay the virtue.  Haotian Wangji!

    The Nanshan Mountain is fierce and the wind is blowing.  The people don't want to go, what harm do I do!  The rhythm of Nanshan, the wind is blowing.  The people do not want to go, I alone do not die!

    [2] Shamanism

    Shamanism is a kind of folk belief activity developed on the basis of primitive belief.  It has spread among many ethnic groups speaking the Manchu-Tungusic, Mongolian, and Turkic languages ??of the Altaic language family in the northeast to northwest border areas of China, and has had a major impact on the production, life, and social customs of these ethnic groups.

    Because the Jurchen language and the Tungusic language call the wizard a shaman, so he got this title. The shaman means "wise man" and "Xiaoche".  Shamans were once believed to have the ability to control the weather, predict, interpret dreams, astrology, and travel to heaven or hell.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
