Chapter 184 Grottoes
Zhong Tianyi was very disgusted and whispered to Li Qian: "You should find two maids for the princess? You don't know what to say when you saw this by outsiders? Haven't you noticed that the bald donkeys in the temple yesterday made excuses to watch Liu Dongyue?"
Li Qian couldn't stand it when he first entered the palace, but he gradually understood it after staying in the palace for a while.
He whispered to Zhong Tianyi: "Don't talk nonsense! There is nothing we can do about it. For example, when we came from the capital this time, if Jianan was not Liu Dongyue but a palace maid, could we return to Shanxi so smoothly? The palace is different from outside. The palace is large and there are many chores needed. What should we do if we don't need these eunuchs?"
Zhong Tianyi Du's pen: "I don't think it's good anyway!"
"Then pretend you didn't see it!" Li Qian said, "The princess grew up in the palace and is different from ordinary aristocratic ladies. You will understand it later."
Zhong Tianyi disagreed and said, "I have agreed with my senior brother that I will go to western Sichuan with him in a few days and wait until the Chinese New Year to come back. What's the point of whether I'm used to seeing it? Anyway, you are determined to marry her. She will be in the inner house and in the outer courtyard in the future, and I will not meet it once every year."
Li Qian smiled and said, "When will you leave?"
"I'll leave when I escort you to Taiyuan." Zhong Tianyi said, "Hey", and knelt Li Qian with his elbow, and whispered, "You borrow some money. When I came out, my father gave me 100 taels of silver and told me to help you finish the business and go back...I'm going to leave directly!"
Li Qian nodded, saw Jiang Xian being held by Liu Dongyue, who had seen the Buddha statue carved on the Liang Grottoes, and threw Zhong Tianyi away, walked over quickly, and said with a smile: "I remember there is such a statue in Wanshou Temple in the capital. Is there any difference between the two?"
While looking carefully, Jiang Xian said slowly: "I didn't expect you to have been to Wanshou Temple. The Buddha statues there are craftsmanships from the north, rough and grand, but the craftsmanships from the south, delicate and exquisite. However, I still like the craftsmanships from the north. Look at the sculptures of this Buddha statue, their faces are so compassionate, but their body bones are too slender, so they can only be used in the stone arch for people to watch."
Li Qian just wanted to coax Jiang Xian to say a few more words. She was willing to speak, so he was naturally overjoyed and couldn't help but say, "Then let's go to Chongshan Temple together next time we have time? That was built by the previous dynasty and it was majestic. You must like it."
Jiang Xian glanced at Li Qian with a smile and said, "I thought you would invite me to visit Lingyan Temple!"
Chongshan Temple is in Taiyuan, and Fenyang Temple is in Fenyang.
Li Qian's heart was pounding by that glance. After a while, he calmed down. He felt that he had no answer, nor did he answer, so he just laughed, and then pointed to the Okaojing under the cave and said, "Look, that's the holy water of Liang Grottoes. Isn't it very cool?"
There is little water in the capital, and Jiang Xian likes that there is more water than mountains. Hearing this, he walked a few steps forward to the stone railing beside the well, and saw that the well was a spring, only three feet square, and the spring water was clear and neither overflowed nor reduced. A glimmer of light shot into the top of the well, and the giant dragon carved on the cave reflected it, which was quite exquisite and rare.
Jiang Xian was very interested and ordered Liu Dongyue to say, "Go and make some water, let's try what it tastes like!"
Liu Dongyue had a moment of hesitation.
The princess is in poor health, and the water she eats along the way is from Yuquan Mountain...
When he thought about it, he realized how good Li Qian was to Jiang Xian.
He couldn't help looking at Li Qian.
Li Qian nodded secretly when he saw this.
This Liu Dongyue is very clever and needs to ask him about this kind of thing.
"Baoping!" Li Qian smiled and walked up to her and said, "You have grown up drinking the water from Yuquan Mountain. Be careful not to adapt to the water. We will stop drinking this water. How about we wash your hands? I heard that the Buddha-believing incense is to wash your right hand. If you wash your hands, let's go to the Main Hall to sing incense to the Bodhisattva?" He was afraid that she would not listen, so he pointed to the bottom of the well, "Look, there are green mosses around there, and I don't know if there are any insects crawling over to drink water..."
Jiang Xian was already a little afraid of the moss around the well, so he could not hear Li Qian say this and he was immediately not interested in drinking water.
Seeing Zhuang, Li Qian winked at Liu Dongyue.
Liu Dongyue was very impressed.
Lord Li actually changed his mind in just two or three sentences.
He trotted to get a water bag and drank some water. Li Qian took the water bag and signaled Jiang Xian to squat by the well to clean her hands.
The water was cold, but she had just walked a long way and her body was slightly hot. The well water was like the dew of drinking, which made her feel refreshed.
Li Qian handed a handkerchief to wipe Jiang Xian's hands.
Jiang Xian sat on the stone railing beside the well, looked at the green all over the mountain and smiled: "It's very quiet here."
Li Qian sat on the stone bench beside her with a smile, took the water bag and teacup from Binghe's hand and poured a glass of water for Jiang Xian, and smiled and said, "Drink some water. You have walked half a stick of incense."
Jiang Xian was not polite, and took the teacup and started drinking it in small sips.
Zhong Tianyi sat on the stone steps next to him and said, "It's better to live here for a few days, but if you live there for a long time, you'll have to be crazy except for bald donkeys."
Jiang Xian thought of what Li Qian said just now and asked Li Qian: "Don't you believe in Buddhism? Believe in Taoism?"
Li Qian said seriously: "I believe it all." He asked Jiang Xian again: "You should believe in Buddhism, right? I think the Empress Dowager would burn incense to the Bodhisattva every morning and copy Buddhist scriptures himself..."
All believe it?!
I just don’t believe it!
Jiang Xian curled his lips coldly.
Zhong Tianyi was watching it interestingly, laughing "Puchi" and teased Li Qian's platform: "Prince, Lord Li believes in both Buddhism and Taoism. As long as it is beneficial to him, he can be a believer in any sect at any time..."
"Zhong Tianyi!" Li Qian glared, turned his head and whispered to him "silver".
Zhong Tianyi immediately closed his mouth.
Li Qian turned around and smiled at Jiang Xian, saying, "Don't listen to his nonsense, he is afraid that the world will not be in chaos. I just think that Buddhism is reasonable, and sometimes Taoism is reasonable."
"Oh?" Jiang Xian felt that what Zhong Tianyi said was the truth. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Then what do you think is reasonable? What are the unreasonable?"
Li Qian smiled and said, "For example, in Buddhism, people who 'put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot', I think it makes sense. In Taoism, I also think it makes sense, "Don't practice the next life and practice the present life."
Is it because of this that Li Qian in his previous life was able to kill 20,000 Tartars without any psychological burden, because he believed that if he made a mistake, the Bodhisattva would forgive him. Similarly, because he felt that the next life was vague and illusory, he should seize the present and grasp the present, so he would do what he hoped to get immediately...
She always recited scriptures with the Empress Dowager since she was a child, and believed in cause and effect.
Is it because of this that she killed Zhao Yi, but she was still uneasy. When she remembered Zhao Yi, she only sighed but no resentment?
Li Qian is more determined and stronger than she thought.
She lost to him in her previous life and was not unfair.
