Chapter 5
Chapter 5
When Chiruo opened his eyes, there was no one around him. He stretched out his hand to touch it, and it was a little cold, thinking that Alai had been up for a long time.
He sat up and rubbed his temples. This was probably the first good sleep he had in this world. In the past, he just meditated on the spot when he was extremely tired. When it came to sleep, it was just a nap. It's not like last night, I slept deeply and deeply.
The bowl on the table was upside down covering the steamed buns and the porridge with a few grains of rice like rice soup. After Chi Ruo ate it, he looked around and went out for a while before he was sure that Alai had really gone out. .
Chi Ruo thought for a while, closed the door, and followed him out.
The rally has passed, but because the Mid-Autumn Festival is still a few days away, there are still many sellers of lanterns or moon cakes on the street.
If Chi Ruo walks slowly, he will stop and admire the beautiful lanterns for a while when he sees the beautiful lanterns.
At the corner of the street, there is a jewelry store, "Lan Jian", which doesn't sound like the name of a shop that sells jewelry. If you walk in, the shop assistants are also clever. Seeing that it is a monk, they don't have any contemptuous guesses, and approach them courteously, " This little master, what do you want to see?"
Chi Ruo shook his head, "Please benefactor, I'll just take a look."
The buddy nodded, "Hey, that's good, little master, if you need anything, you can call me."
Chi Ruo nodded, and the clerk hid behind the counter again, groping for something inside.
Chiruo wandered around casually, and found that there were not many ornaments displayed here, but they were all exquisite and complete in variety. Smell it, and it smells good, maybe it's top-notch.
Looking carefully, he didn't find anything like the white jade hairpin in his hand.If Chiruo walked over, the clerk had already raised his head, "Did you see, little master?"
Chi Ruo took out his white jade hairpin, "Can this benefactor help me to have a look at this hairpin?"
The clerk took it and looked around for a while, "Little Master, where did you get this hairpin?"
"From a friend."
The clerk took a look at Chiruo and said, "Little master, the style of this hairpin is the style that was popular in the previous dynasty. One hairpin is a piece of white jade, and it is one piece without joints. It is protected by silver threads, but this was a hundred years ago, and it is different now."
"Well," Chiruo nodded, "I know this is a jade hairpin from a hundred years ago, can you tell exactly when it came from the previous dynasty?"
"Well, you can make things difficult for me." The man shook his head, "This style has always been popular in the previous dynasty, but it's not clear if it's specific."
Chiruo sighed slightly, and was about to turn around to leave, when he heard the bead curtain behind him suddenly ringing, a scent of fragrance wafted over him, Chiruo turned around, and saw a woman walking in graceful lotus steps, slowly walking to the front of her body, her red lips were filled with red , exhaling like blue, "This jade hairpin is so beautiful, I wonder if my little master can give up his love?"
The voice was also soft and soft, and a pair of watery almond eyes turned sideways, and the clerk at the side gasped, his expression was flat, and a little apologetic, "This is really something entrusted by my old friend of the monk. If I send it to someone else, I hope the benefactor will forgive me."
The woman was not reluctant, "Then can you show it to the little girl? Maybe you can tell a thing or two."
If the imperial edict no longer refuses, he handed the white jade hairpin to the woman, "Then thank you benefactor."
The jade hairpin circled around the woman's fingertips, as if she was playing with it carefully, the woman's eyes became more interesting, and she said softly: "Magnolia grows from the bone of the hairpin, and the red beans are at ease."
She raised her eyes, some slender apricot eyes picked up, and said softly: "The heart of blue is embedded with red beans, the heart of Lan Yujie, the heart of lovesickness beans, such ingenious styles can only be made by exquisite people!"
Chi Ruo's eyes lit up, "Does the benefactor know this exquisite heart?"
"Well," the woman pursed her red lips lightly, with a variety of amorous feelings and innocence. It can be said that she has grasped all kinds of weaknesses of men, and it seems to be a natural habit without any pretentiousness. She said: "Linglong heart is rare, according to the little girl As we know, there were only three generals in the previous hundred years, and it is a coincidence that two of them were in the same period."
"One is high in the emperor's house, and the other is in the beggar gang."
Chi Ruo was taken aback, "Is there another one?"
"Here," the woman returned the white jade hairpin to Chiruo, and said, "it's okay to have another one, and this style of jade hairpin was only produced for a short period of time when the two Linglongxins were in it, and there were very few made. , so it is extremely valuable.”
If you don't say a word.
The woman's posture is graceful, her lotus steps are lightly moved, and her fingertips lightly rest on Chiruo's shoulder, "The little girl is Huasuo of Tianyinfang, and she is not a rich man. If the little master still has questions..."
If Chi Ruo raised his eyes, there was neither happiness nor happiness in his eyes, Hua Suo smiled, his red lips parted slightly, and said softly: "The Pengmen is open for you."
The fragrance of people has not dispersed.
He only heard a sneer from the clerk behind him, and if he turned around, the clerk smiled and said: "Little master, this skin is very useful. This day, the two top names in Tianyinfang will come to make friends with you. Why don't you go back to the vulgar. The flowers on the mountain can be good." Many, just relying on the movement of little master's peach blossom eyes, not to mention seeing all of them, most of them are enough!"
The clerk rested his hands on the counter and propped his chin, smiling playfully, and his words were full of encouragement.
Chi Ruo bowed his head slightly, "The downhill and uphill are no different to this little monk, there is more grass on the mountain, but more flowers on the downhill."
The buddy cupped his hands, "Little master said something wonderfully, but he said it too early. There are so many surprises in this world that little master can't imagine!"
If Chi Ruo didn't want to argue any more, he called out the Buddha's name and turned to leave.
Back at Alai's home, Alai had already come back. There was a plate of vegetarian potato shreds and rice on the table, and he lay on the bed with his feet crossed, taking a nap with his eyes closed.
Hearing the voice of Chi Ruo returning, he opened his eyes slowly and said, "It turns out that the monk is also active."
Chiruo sat down, the food was still warm and the entrance was just right, he said: "Well, let's go for a walk."
A Lai turned over and sat up, his eyes sparkling, "What are you doing in Lanjian? Could it be that you really want to choose a few good things to give to the nuns in the nunnery in Duishan?"
Alai's words were a bit vulgar, and Chiruo frowned, "Won't I disturb people's cultivation when I go to the nunnery?" After finishing speaking, he paused again, Chiruo took out the white jade hairpin in his bosom, "I'm looking for this The owner of the hairpin."
"Female?" A Lai was stunned for a moment while holding the hairpin.
"Maybe it's a man. This hairpin was entrusted by an old friend of mine. I hope I can find the owner of the hairpin, that is, the person who gave this hairpin to her." Chi Ruo was very patient.
Alai played with the hairpin, "Then your friend didn't say who its owner is?"
Chiruo shook his head, Concubine Jing's smiling face appeared in front of his eyes, but in the end it only turned into a long sigh, "I never mentioned it, I only know that she calls herself the palace, and sometimes mentions the emperor."
"That may be someone like an emperor." A Lai said after being silent for a while.
Chi Ruo shook his head, if he was an emperor, he would be a real dragon entering reincarnation, and with its thunderous breath, Concubine Jing would know if she stepped into the underworld, even if Concubine Jing didn't notice, Jiang Pan would know Read Zhenlong's previous events carefully to determine the way of reincarnation. With Jiang Pan's temperament, he will not miss the matter of Concubine Jing.
"It's a matter of the previous dynasty. I'm afraid the person from a hundred years ago has reincarnated." Chi Ruo thought for a while and added, "I'm looking for him in this life."
Alai said in a low voice, "There are people in this world who are not reincarnated, and they can remember everything clearly in their past and present lives."
Chi Ruo shook his head, "If that's the case, wouldn't it be painful?"
"Yeah, it's very painful." Alai didn't say much to him, and walked out with the hairpin in his hand, and turned around when he reached the door, "Don't run around in the afternoon, stay well, I will definitely give you Come back with good news!"
The hairpin has been taken away, Chi Ruo felt a little helpless, but nodded, as if he really didn't have any need to go out.
Meditation is certainly a wonderful method for self-cultivation and spiritual enlightenment, but if you didn't meditate today, you still went out, but this time you didn't go far, just strolled around.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and every family starts to set up tables for worshiping the moon, or make moon cakes and sweet-scented osmanthus cakes to eat, and there are also people who are making lanterns. Carefully select the stones in the sweet-scented osmanthus...
Peaceful and calm.
"Is it bitter?" Chiruo asked himself, he was startled!
If it is not bitter, why do you need Purdue?
If it is not bitter, why is there a never-ending cry of ghosts in hell?
If it wasn't bitter, wouldn't Ksitigarbha have already returned to the west?
Chi Ruo shook his head, clearing the thoughts just now, and looking at the past, the little boy has already suffered from birth, and will suffer from old age, sickness and death in the future. Although this is an inevitable suffering, there may be other The three sufferings, not to mention, birth, old age, sickness and death are also great sufferings; the old woman has already experienced the sufferings of this world, but she has never experienced them all. The pain left behind.
Thinking of this, Chiruo calmed down, the heartbeat just now seemed to pass away again.
"Little master, what are you doing here?"
Chiruo turned his head, and the first lady looked at him with a smile, sat down with a small horse, leaned against the old tree behind her, and began to do needlework.
Chi Ruo's heart moved, and he walked over, "Benefactor, is there anything special about this needlework?"
The aunt looked at him suspiciously, "It's nothing, just watch me sew two stitches for you, and you will understand!"
Chi Ruo stood quietly, and the aunt skillfully threaded the needle and started the needlework.
……
When Alai got home at night, Chi Ruo was already sitting at the table, and when he came back, his eyes sparkled.
A Lai put the food in his hands on the table, and then threw the white jade hairpin to Chiruo, "There is no good news, I have spent a day in vain!"
Chi Ruo's eyes dimmed slightly, but he soon returned to normal, "Forget it, I can find it slowly, he is always in this reincarnation."
A Lai didn't think about the deep meaning in his words, and gulped down the delicious chicken soup.
Chi Ruoan quietly ate his vegetarian dishes and porridge, not at all moved by Alai's appetizing clicks.
When sleeping, Ah Lai went to the bed, only to realize something was wrong, why is it bulging under the pillow?
He got up, touched under the pillow with his hand, and Chi Ruo, who was still standing by the bed, looked at him with bright eyes.Ah Lai took it out, a piece of cloth?
He glanced at Chi Ruo and unfolded the cloth.
It was a pair of pants!
And it feels thicker!
"Mine?" Ali asked.
Chi Ruo nodded, "I just rushed to make it this afternoon, did you try to fit it?"
Ah Lai put it on, it just fit one leg, as if it was tailor-made, he smiled and said: "Stupid monk, I don't know whether I should say that you are talented in this area!"
Chi Ruo nodded, "Yeah, yes! That lady also said the same thing, she gave me the needlework."
Alai: "...Where's the cloth?"
Chi Ruo's eyes flickered, "Well, the monk's robe."
Ali was completely speechless.
But after all, he is not a tweaker, and no matter how mature he is, he is still a child. A Lai is still very happy that he has a new pair of pants.
At night, Chi Ruo seemed to think of something, "Tomorrow I'll take the trousers to my aunt to change, I'm afraid my sewing is not tight enough, and it will be easy to tear."
Alai: "..."
"Monk?" After a while, Alai called out softly, thinking that if Chiruo fell asleep, he would not speak.
"Ok?"
Alai sighed softly in his heart, "Actually, your hairpin still has a way."
If you don't say anything, just wait for Alai to say it himself.
"There has always been a legend in the rivers and lakes..."
