The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty Chapter 37: Little brother, get
The three Yunshui monks were brought into the hotel, and the doctor in the store led them to their seats. There are no private rooms in this store. Fortunately, there are not many people at this time. There is a screen in the corner, which is also a small world. .
Yunyan ordered some tea and rice and told the doctor to go down.
Chiwa and Tomori carefully supported Chisheng into the seat, and gave him a back pad and poured hot water for him to drink. Zhisheng's face looked better, but only a little. Judging from his facial features, he should have had a good life, but unfortunately, his ill appearance completely destroyed his spirit.
Zhihe said gratefully: "The brothers did not reprimand our actions, but were willing to listen to our complaints, which really impressed our brothers!"
"I admire you for being so righteous to this Junior Brother!" Hui Chong said, "Stealing words is a helpless act in a desperate situation, how can we bear to blame you? Come and live in the temple, squeeze a little, our yard can still accommodate three people! The teacher is proficient in Qihuang, and he can also diagnose and treat Zhisheng and his younger brother.”
Zhihe panicked, "How dare you harass senior brother! It's a great gift for you to allow us to speak the scriptures!"
While the two were resigning, a young girl turned around the screen and came to their table.
Zhihe glanced at the girl Fangzi, blushed, and lowered his head, not daring to look.
The girl also widened her eyes and said with a smile: "It's actually a few mages, the slave family is polite." The uninvited girl reached out to pick up the tea on the table and ordered it for them. He also hummed a little tune.
Hui Chong touched his head and grinned: "I didn't see the gardenia lamp hanging outside the door, oh, go ahead."
Any gardenia lamp hanging on it means that there are prostitutes in the restaurant. These prostitutes are extremely active, they will solicit business by themselves, or they will go forward to sing and serve, and the drinkers will watch and reward money.
"Oh, let's wait for the slave family to finish serving the mages this time." The girl smiled shyly, "It's ok if you don't give a reward, it's the sesame oil money donated by the slave family."
The monks nearly burst out laughing.
The girl brought the tea in front of everyone, threw a wink, and walked away.
She walked away, and Zhihecai breathed a sigh of relief, took a sip of tea, and took a sip.
"This young lady is interesting," Yun Yanhui also held up the tea, "Let's drink tea instead of wine. In order to get together today, it is fate to meet."
Everyone touched their tea bowls and drank tea.
Yunyan asked again, "According to the accent, Senior Brother looks like someone from Yingtianfu?"
"That's right." Zhihe nodded, feeling a little sad, "I've been traveling abroad for seven or eight years, but I haven't been back."
"Oh," Yun Yan asked casually, "What did you do in your hometown seven or eight years ago?"
"I..." Zhi He suddenly realized what Yun Yan had said just now, stared at him with wide eyes, his body tightened, "What did you say?"
Hui Chong looked at Yun Yanhui in confusion, "Brother Yan, what's the matter..."
Chiwa and Chili put their hands on Chisheng's arm, ready to drive him away at any time.
At this time, Zhisheng suddenly snorted, tilted his head back, and passed out.
Zhihe hurriedly reached out to touch his breath and pulse, and thumped the table angrily, "Menghan medicine?!"
The three monks from Xiangguo Temple sat back in fright, "What Mongolian medicine, what nonsense are you talking about, is Zhisheng and brother ill?"
Zhihe touched Zhisheng's tea bowl, smelled it, licked it a little bit, and said with an ugly face: "It's the sweat medicine, the medicine that the prostitute gave me just now? What are you trying to do, in broad daylight...don't be afraid of me Call someone?"
Having been sitting firmly in the mountains like Taishan, Yunyan returned to Shi Shiran and said, "You are calling, do you want me to help you and call the officials of Kaifeng Mansion?"
The muscles on Zhihe's face twitched, and he was sure that the child's previous sentence "what did he do in his hometown" was not nonsense. He gritted his teeth: "what do you want?"
"What we want to do depends on what you want." Yun Yan replied. If these people are purely infringing profits, then they have to defend their rights. He only secretly hinted at the acquaintance of the prostitute. The girl fascinated Chisheng by drugging them, so that they could not escape, but also to give a chance.
Hui Chong finally understood, "Brother Yan, you mean he lied to us before?"
"Bullshit," Yun Yan gave him a white look, "Brother, don't you think about it, they are really sick, can't they go to the monastery to make a bill? Many monasteries in Bianliang have always provided medicine for the poor people, not to mention they are also A monk. I don’t say that the first thing most people think of is going to Daxiangguo Temple, but have they been there?”
Hui Chong touched his head: "Aren't they looking for help and hitting a wall..."
At this time, Zhihe knew that among these people, it was this yellow-mouthed child who was in charge. He was frightened and said, "That's right. I was so disheartened that I didn't dare to try it at Daxiangguo Temple."
This order is also subject to the host's permission. At this time, the gap between the rich and the poor is actually very large.
The rich are like Daxiangguo Temple. In poorer monasteries, there are not many pilgrims who do not say anything, because the state will force monks to buy salt and other things to increase their income, and there is a fixed amount every year.
If the monasteries that Zhihe went to were poor monasteries, they might be rejected.
Yunyan Hui shook her head, "Under the feet of the emperor, this is not the case. This person claims to have no one to help, even the monastery does not allow orders, and he makes money without taking patients to live in the store. He is so ashamed, but he would rather do it without authorization. He advocates learning scriptures and performing arts and apologizes when people come to the door, and don't ask for authorization. Obviously, he can completely imitate the performance of mature and common monks in Daxiangguo Temple, but he doesn't go to other places, and only chooses to play the jungle with less money... Said Really, even if it is copied, based on their ability to imitate, there must be Washers willing to accept it.”
These kinds of behaviors, combined with their expressions, really don't feel right.
"Why are these? It just means that they don't dare to ask for help, don't dare to live in a store, and don't dare to go to the Washe to perform shows! In my opinion, there is a big problem with their identity. The ultimatum—seriously, it doesn’t look like you can afford the ultimatum based on your clothes and your current situation.”
Monks and nuns need the permission of the state to become ordained, and it is illegal to shave privately.
But the state will not let people become monks casually. Either you pass the exam - it's very difficult, and those who pass the exam are in the minority, or you spend money to buy it. Sometimes when something big happens, the state will issue a small amount of punishment gift. The sale of ultimatum is a financial revenue of the country. When the financial situation is tight, the amount of ultimatum sold will be increased.
If there is no ultimatum, or the ultimatum is false, then naturally I dare not go to the places where the ultimatum needs to be checked.
Let's infer from this that in the current society, people who walk around the world as fake monks are basically committing crimes...
That's why Yun Yan only asked before he returned. He suspected that these few people who pretended to be monks "travelling" at a young age were involuntarily leaving their hometowns because of a crime. And looking at their reaction, most of them are cheating.
Zhihe and Zhili listened to Yunyan's reply, and then saw that Zhisheng had been poisoned, which made it impossible for the two of them to escape the store with Zhisheng, so they had to sit back in their seats.
"Okay, now we can talk about your situation."
Although the three of Zhihe have been wandering around the world for a few years, they are not scheming and vicious people. Otherwise, they would not have a sincere expression of guilt when they saw them, and they would not have made up a lie without making it up. It has been exposed, Zhihe sees that Yunyan has no intention of reporting to the official, so he holds a glimmer of hope and comes from the truth.
It turned out that Zhihe and Zhili were brothers, and Zhisheng was their cousin. The three were from a small village in Yingtianfu. A few years ago, the famine caused the victims to fight and rob unscrupulous landlords, resulting in many casualties. , there are only three people left in their family.
In order to take revenge, Zhihe and Zhili secretly lied at the landlord's house. Unexpectedly, the housekeeper was not seriously injured and even identified them. The three had to flee at night.
In order to hide their identities, they shaved their heads, pretended to be monks, and even bought holiday tickets.
During the period, I wandered around in the world, and I also met a few "bosses". Unfortunately, they only have the advantage of learning to talk. They can't fight, and they also carry a fuel bottle, so they don't get along very well.
That's it, I went all the way to Bianlianglai. Unexpectedly, Zhisheng fell ill as soon as I arrived... The rest is similar to what they said before, except that the reasons were replaced by fear of being found out A fake monk and a wanted criminal.
They are also unlucky, and the infringement is also the infringement. In the past, they have been beaten for copying other people's words, and they did not listen to their stories. But this time, I encountered a copyright owner who sent someone to prescribe medicine without saying a word.
Looking at his demeanor, it doesn't seem to be a fake, Yun Yan returned to ponder for a moment, and said: "As expected, it is because of illegal identity that I dare not go to temples and inns. You are also pitiful people, if this is the case..."
Brother Zhihe was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Yun Yanhui was actually going to help them, and said excitedly: "If junior brother can help, the three of us will be very grateful, and we will definitely get a ring in return!"
"What is the report? I think your imitation ability is amazing. If you are willing to formally ordain or become a monk, I will ask the abbot to be accommodating and ask the three of you to change your identities and enter the Daxiangguo Temple as a lay monk and serve the temple. How's it going?" Yun Yanhui added, "The temple understands that the master is proficient in Qihuang, and can also heal your brother."
The current Yun Yanhui still has the confidence to speak to the abbot. After all, the two jobs he has been in charge of have been very successful.
The two brothers looked at each other and said, "Our brothers are grateful for the great kindness of our junior and senior brothers who repaid their grievances with virtue. However, we can shave, but Zhisheng can't really become a monk. At least we have to leave a bloodline for the family to pass on to the next generation!"
"If you don't become a monk, how can your identity be legalized? I don't have the ability to adapt to Kaifeng Mansion. It's okay to drill holes in the ultimatum." Yun Yanhui was a little speechless, "Besides, why are you so arrogant, monks? Now, can't it be vulgar again?"
Nowadays, there are so many prisoners who have some conditions in their families that they choose to become monks in order to reduce their sentences or avoid guilt. Just like the Empress Wu who first became a family member in order to marry her husband's son. If you become a monk, it is like deleting your account and rebuilding. If you enter Buddhism, your previous data must be cleared.
Zhihe and the others couldn't afford the ultimatum, let alone the necessary expenses for monks, and they had no choice but to flee before they wanted to go to jail.
Chiwa nodded ashamed, "Because you said you were working for the temple..."
"I can't tell you to be cows and horses all your life, what era is it now... Oh no, although it is this era, we don't pay attention to that!" Yunyan replied, "We only pay attention to economic benefits, you help If you have created enough wealth, even if you have repaid the favor. Go back and heal the illness and settle the account for you, to ensure that it is accurate to a penny.”
Chi and brothers were stunned. I didn't expect that there would be such a calculation. They said that good kindness can't be measured by money? Also accurate to the copper plate?
Yun Yan looked back at these two foolish children who were still confused, and had another plan in her heart. He has a plan to make money recently, but Zhengchou doesn't have someone he can handle and work with. These two seem to give him hope. Anyway, he can go back and investigate first. Two skilled lay preachers.
Zhihe and Zhili thought for a moment, and then immediately said, "We are willing! Dare to ask what this junior brother is called?"
Yun Yanhui is already immersed in the sweet dream of receiving a shared horse: "My name is Brother Yun!"
Chihe & Chili: "..."
