Chapter 631 Red Dust

Chapter 631 Hongchen

Mama Li and Mama Wu did not rush to leave, but borrowed a basin from the little monk in charge of the kitchen and began to pick wild vegetables. Mama Wu whispered, "Since the monks in the temple are not delicious, I think we should make buns by ourselves tonight, otherwise we will waste good things."

Madam Li nodded, "I think so too."

On the other side, Mrs. Zhang was talking to Mrs. Tang, Mrs. Ding about the rumors about Puji Temple, "It is said that the monk who controls the kitchen is Fahui. He is from a wealthy family. Later, he didn't know what was stimulating and insisted on becoming a monk. The family had used all the methods, but he still couldn't persuade him. In the end, he had to agree helplessly. However, in order to make Fahui live in the temple better, the family paid for the renovation of the temple, which was magnificent, not as if he had seen through the world, but as if he was coming out to enjoy his happiness. Fahui stayed in that temple for a year, and then went to two temples to practice cultivation. Finally, he came here.

In Puji Temple, I heard that my family also donated a lot of money for incense and oil, the abbot of Puji Temple turned a blind eye to him. Not only did he not have to do morning and evening classes like others, but he also divided into relatively easy tasks, just to manage the kitchen. Unfortunately, Fahui did nothing. Since he took care of the kitchen, the vegetarian dishes in Puji Temple were not ordinary. How many people had trouble saying that they were here to worship Bodhisattvas. Even if they didn’t like their appetite, they had never said anything. They talked about it behind their backs. But Fahui had gained a lot of weight, which was more than before they became monks."

Mrs. Tang smiled slightly after hearing this, and Tang said, "Isn't the temple a place for the cultivation of the Qing Dynasty? It should be more important to pay attention to the equality of all beings. How can you do this kind of thing that depends on people's dishes?"

Although Mrs. Zhang had known that Tang was ignorant of the world, she did not expect that she would ask these things in person, and for a moment she didn't know how to answer.

Mrs. Ding said, "Monks say that they have seen through the world and want to learn something beyond the Dharma. But how many monks can truly achieve enlightenment? People themselves are the world, how can they see through it? As long as there are people, there will be these bad and ragged things, and everything is the same."

Mrs. Zhang didn't want to say these words, for fear that someone would hear them would seem disrespectful to the temple. She smiled and stopped her words, "Why haven't Madam Li and Madam Wu come back yet? Could it be that she went to hide and eat fruit?"

Mrs. Ding was the most smart and clever. She immediately guessed Mrs. Zhang’s intention. She also joked, “Where are you kidding? I think you can’t eat fruits anymore. I’m afraid you’re hiding somewhere to pick wild vegetables?”

Mrs. Zhang suddenly realized, "Oh, that's not it. I forgot about this." She turned to her mother and said, "You go and help me too. Let's make the buns for the evening by ourselves, so don't let the monks from Puji Temple interfere."

The close mother nodded and said, "Yes."

Mrs. Ding also sent two mothers to accompany her.

After picking the wild vegetables, they started blanching and chopping the filling, chatting and talking while chatting. The atmosphere was very good. Madam Li said to Mama Wu, "Wash some fruits quickly and send them to the old lady and her wife to try them, and the ladies also need to give some."

Wu Ma washed the fruit neatly, borrowed the plate from the monk, and carefully carried it out. She first sent a plate to Mrs. Tang. When Mrs. Tang got old, she had a bad tooth and stopped eating one. However, Mrs. Zhang ate two or three, "It's sour and refreshing, it's really delicious. Where did you buy it? I ordered two baskets with him and took it back for Xueping to eat. She would definitely like it, and it's just for her to enjoy the appetizer."

When Mrs. Tang saw that she was thinking about Tang Xueping at home no matter where she was, she smiled with great relief, "I forgot that I have forgotten her because I am thinking about her."

This is a joke.

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "I am a mother-in-law. If I only care about myself, your daughter-in-law wouldn't come to the door to grab my hair?"

Mrs. Tang laughed loudly when she heard the sound, "Although Feng Jun is powerful, he is not so harsh."

Mrs. Ding also said, "Mrs. Tang is the most enthusiastic and polite. Do you think everyone is like you?"

Everyone laughed and made a ball.

Wu Ma took the plate and went to find Bai Rongxuan, Tang Xueru and Zhang Yunniang. As soon as she reached the turn, she saw two little monks walking towards her face.

The two of them said in a word, "What are the people from the Li family? I don't want to go there. This kind of funeral is the most annoying. People who sit or stand or stand, recite scriptures from morning to night for a day. Sometimes they can't even drink saliva. When they are sucking their calves at night, they are so hard."

"What's the use of telling me about this?" said another monk, "The abbot has agreed. Do you dare to say he won't go? Besides, I have asked in secret. The Li family is quite sensible. The head of their family is quite polite and shouldn't be too slow to treat us."

The two passed by Wu Ma and shut up for a while, for fear that the other party would hear something.

Wu Ma didn't take her heart, and walked her own way.

The little monk behind him continued, "Which Li family is it? Why don't I know?"

"It's the Li family in Hangzhou City." Another person said, "When I was doing rituals for their old master at the Jiang family in Sanjiang Chamber of Commerce, I met the head of the Li family. He was a very young man. He looked very difficult to get close to. He didn't have a good face, but he was really good. Every time he was at dinner time, he would arrange for people to deliver vegetarian dishes to us, and he was very polite when he spoke to us, and he looked very gentle and kind, which was different from the one he looked."

When Wu Ma heard this, she stopped her steps.

Listening to these two people, it seems that the young master of the Li family who helped his lady...

Wu Ma quickly turned her head and chased behind the two little monks and asked, "Two little masters, let me ask, is the Li family you just mentioned, the Li family in Sanshiqiao?"

"Yes!" A little monk nodded, "It's their family. Master Li from the Li family passed away at noon today. The Li family invited the monks in our temple to chant sutras and salvation."

Master Li passed away?

Wu Ma was very surprised and thanked the two monks with gratitude, and brought them two more fruits to eat. The little monk gave her a Buddhist tribute and walked away happily.

Wu Ma ran quickly to the Zen room and saw three ladies sitting on the stool in the Zen room talking.

When Tang Xueru saw the fruit plate in Wu Ma's hand, she ran over happily and said, "Where did this get the fruit? It seems a bit different from what I usually eat?"

"This is a wild fruit." Wu Ma said, "I bought it from the old farmer. By the way... On the way I just came, I heard from the monk in the temple that the Master of Li's family in Sanshiqiao passed away. The Li family came to invite the monks from Puji Temple to go over and pass away for youth."

Tang Xueru focused all her attention on the wild fruit. She snatched one and took a bite, and asked without much care, "Who is the Li family in Sanshiqiao? Do you have any business dealings with our family?"

Bai Rongxuan knew that Wu Ma never said useless nonsense. Since she said it, she must have intentions. After thinking carefully, she first realized, "Why wouldn't the Li family help us again and again?"

"That's right." Wu Ma nodded.

Tang Xueru suddenly realized, "Ah? Is Li Yi's father dead?"
