Ban Hua and Rong Xia, two beggars who had fled, were brought into Beijing and handed over to Dali Temple.

Rong Xia smiled apologetically at Banhua: "I originally wanted to stay with you for a while, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing. I'm afraid I have to go to the palace."

Banhua nodded: "Business matters are important, you can do whatever you want."

Rong Xia was riding on horseback, watching Banhua go away, and asked Du Jiu: "Is the governor of Qizhou a member of the Shi family?"

Du Jiu nodded: "The prefect of Qizhou is Mrs. Shi's natal nephew."

"The governor of Qizhou can be considered a ruthless person. There were so many refugees who escaped and he was chasing them all the way. Only these few people actually escaped to the capital." Rong Xia turned his horse and said, "Let's go check it out. Who is protecting these people from behind?"

Otherwise, considering how old and young this family is, how could they have successfully come to the capital? Moreover, even the horses, gold and silver, were lost, but Lu Yin was still well preserved. I wonder if these people were prepared for it, or were they determined to come to the capital to file a complaint?

"Uncle, go to the palace now, to the Shi family..."

"I brought the person here. If I pretend to know nothing, Your Majesty will not be able to explain it to you." Rong Xia lowered her eyelids to hide the coldness in her eyes, "You don't have to worry, I have my own idea."

Du Jiu knew that his uncle always had ideas, so he didn't dare to say anything.

After Banhua returned, she treated the incident as gossip and told it to her family.

"Snow disaster?" Ms. Yin frowned, "Qizhou is not too far from the capital. How courageous do local officials have to cover up the truth?"

The snow last winter was indeed heavier than in previous years, but we have never heard of any disasters. Only some officials said that "the auspicious snow heralds a good year", which had nothing to do with the disaster.

"He certainly can't handle such a big thing by himself," Ban Huai said seriously, "Maybe he has accomplices in the capital."

"Who?" Ban Heng asked curiously.

"How do I know?" Ban Huai said matter-of-factly, "If your father and I even know this, why would I be a playboy?"

Ban Heng nodded: "That's true."

Every time Yin heard this conversation between father and son, she felt particularly bad. If it weren't for her husband and children, she would even find it annoying to look at them more.

"Good girl, you and Rong Junpo went out to watch peacocks today?" Ban Huai looked at Ban Hua suspiciously, "How many peacocks would you spend so much time on?"

"I encountered something along the way and had some conflicts with the girl from the Shi family..."

"The Shi family again?" Ban Huai frowned, "Since the Yan family lost power, the Shi family has become more and more arrogant. The prince has not yet succeeded to the throne, and his family has acted like the father-in-law of the country. I'm afraid They will bring trouble to the prince."

The Ban family members were all silent, because they all remembered that the Yan family's misfortune... had something to do with them.

"No matter how arrogant the Shi family is, we are not afraid," Ban Huai patted the table, "Huahua, you can't be wronged in front of her. Anyway, our family doesn't have to ask the Shi family for anything."

"The little girl from the Shi family looks pretty good, but she is too thoughtful." Yin shook her head and said to Banhua, "It would be great if such a girl could figure it out. Otherwise, she would be doomed in this life. It will be a very tiring life."

Ban Heng curled his lips and said: "She is no longer worried, but has a mental problem. The way she looks at my sister sometimes is quite scary."

"Then I'm not afraid of her," Banhua hummed in a low voice, "In my dream, she and Xie Qilin were still unclear. Xie Qilin was injured on the way back from delivering a collection of poems to her."

"That **** one-eyed dog Xie Qilin is having an affair with the second girl of the Shi family?" Ban Heng was amazed, and after a while he said, "Isn't his true love that promiscuous woman?"

"If it's true love, you won't leave the person outside and come back by yourself." Yin didn't like to hear Xie Qilin's name. "Of course we were blind and found such a person for your sister." A fiancé."

"Mom, I can't blame you. I was the one who agreed to that marriage in the first place," Banhua smiled and hugged Yin's arm, "Besides, don't I have a different fiancé now?"

Ban Heng: My dear sister, please don’t talk about changing your fiancé like changing a piece of clothing.

Banhua thought that His Majesty should be furious because something big happened in Qizhou, but a few days later, the court was still quiet, and no one even mentioned Qizhou.

She didn't understand the court or politics, but she just felt a little pity for the people in Qizhou who died in the disaster.

She didn't understand death before, but since she had those two dreams and her grandmother passed away, she has a new understanding of death.

Death is the eternal separation between heaven and man. You will never see or touch him again in this life. You can only rely on memories to describe his face bit by bit. When time gradually passes, the memory The appearance in the image will also change and fade, leaving only a blurry face in the end.

She sat by the window and looked at the pomegranate tree outside the yard, which looked a little uneasy. The arborist said that the tree that had just been transplanted was like this, but the tree was dug out very carefully and was not injured. Main root veins, so it will definitely survive.

The sun penetrated the leaves and left mottled light spots on the ground. Banhua couldn't help but recall the past. After a long time, she said to Ruyi behind her, "Ruyi, tomorrow I will go to Zhengde Temple to offer incense. You go Ask the prince if he wants to go with me."

Ru noticed that the princess was in a daze and was worried that she was in a bad mood. After finding Ban Heng, he casually mentioned that Ban Hua looked a little unhappy.

Ban Heng was worried, so he followed Ruyi to Banhua's yard.

"Sister, are you going to go to the temple to offer incense tomorrow?" Ban Heng walked into Banhua's room, took a small jade ornament from the treasure shelf and played with it, "I remember you don't like to go to the temple. Ah, there are monks outside the temple who interpret fortunes and tell fortunes. It seems like scammers are trying to steal the work of Taoist priests."

"I can't stand the liar monk, and I didn't say I can't stand all the monks," Banhua sneered, "I also don't like men who cheat women's feelings. Could it be that I don't like all men in the world? ”

Ban Heng:......

"Okay, you are right, I can't argue with you."

Ban Heng felt that since he was a child, he had never said anything about his sister. They were both born from the same parents. Why was he so stupid?

The next day, Ban Hua got up early early, took out Ban Heng who was still sleeping, threw him into the carriage and left the city. There were scenes of prosperity along the way. Banhua opened the curtain and looked at the people coming and going outside the carriage. He couldn't help but think, the capital city is still prosperous, but what about other places?

She shook her head, feeling that she was thinking too much. Such brain-consuming things were not suitable for her to think about.

Zhengde Temple is a famous temple in Beijing. However, because the nobles believe in Taoism more, and the common people also prefer to go to places like Yuelao Temple and Sendzi Empress Temple, the popularity of Zhengde Temple is not very strong.

The arrival of Banhua and Ban Heng made the monks and novices of Zhengde Temple so happy that even the abbot came to greet them personally.

Although it is said that family members should be empty in all directions, they have not yet truly become Buddhas. They still have to eat and wear clothes, so they do not need to be empty in the world for the time being.

"Early this morning, I heard the magpies chirping on the branches. I didn't expect that the princess and the prince were here." The abbot performed Buddhist rituals for the two siblings, led them into the Mahavira Hall to offer incense, and went to Banhua. When offering incense, the abbot personally chanted sutras and knocked on wooden fish for Banhua, which can be said to be a considerate service.

The Ban siblings liked people who treated them thoughtfully, so they did not hesitate to give the abbot a lot of sesame oil money. The abbot was even happier and even welcomed the two of them into the backyard to drink tea.

"I took my apprentice to pick this tea in person in the mountains. It is not a good thing. Please don't dislike it, the princess and the prince."

"Abbott, you're welcome," Banhua picked up the tea and took a sip, "My brother and I are not particular people. Whether the tea is good or bad is to quench our thirst."

"The princess is so spiritual, she has seen through the world and penetrated to the essence." The abbot put down the bamboo teacup and chanted "Buddha", "The poor monk saw that although the princess looked relaxed, there was still unresolved sadness on the eyebrows. I don't know why. If the princess doesn't mind, you can talk to the poor monk about what's on your mind. The poor monk has a pair of ears that go in the left ear and go out in the right ear."

Banhua smiled and shook his head: "Before coming, I had many unanswered questions, but after seeing the abbot and drinking this cup of tea, I seemed to understand everything again."

"Amitabha," the abbot clasped his hands, "if the princess can understand, it would be a good thing. The most difficult thing in life is to see through it and cause trouble to yourself."

Banhua laughed out loud: "Yes, some things can only be seen through. If you can't see through them, it will only cause trouble."

The abbot smiled and said nothing, like a kind elder, making it difficult for people to feel disgusted with such a person.

"Having been harassing the abbot for a long time, it's time for the little lady to say goodbye." Banhua put down the tea cup, stood up and saluted the abbot, "Abbott, it is said that there is a Buddhist scripture that can be recited every day to protect the deceased in the next life. Perfect health?"

"Buddha saves all living beings."

Banhua smiled: "Is it because all living beings suffer?"

The abbot shook his head slowly: "How can there be sweetness without bitterness?"

Banhua handed out two banknotes and put them on the table with both hands: "Then I will ask the eminent monks of your temple to recite sutras for all living beings. May they be safe and disaster-free in the next life, with more sweetness than bitterness."

"The princess is kind." The abbot smiled kindly and said, "The poor monk thanked the princess for all living beings."

Banhua said calmly: "I'm just being hypocritical."

"What the princess said is wrong. Doing good means having a good heart. How can it be true or false?"

In front of the eloquent abbot, Banhua finally understood why Buddhism could spread throughout Daye even though many people in Daye did not believe in Buddhism.

Probably... they are so good at talking, and every word they say makes people feel happy, and they can't help but buy more incense money.

After seeing off the Ban family siblings, the abbot returned to the back room and knocked on the door: "Uncle, the female pilgrim has left."

A jade-like young man wearing a plain brocade robe and a jade pendant on his waist walked out from behind the door. He walked to the stone bench where Banhua had been sitting just now and sat down. He raised his head and glanced at the bald monk with a slight smile, but said nothing.

"My uncle's fiancée is a very good woman," the monk saluted him, but it was a common etiquette in the world, "Congratulations to my uncle, you have found the wife of your choice."

“I have only heard people congratulate a woman for finding her husband, but this kind of saying is rare.”

"Maybe in the eyes of a poor monk, all living beings are equal."

The man chuckled lightly when he heard this, took a sip of the already cold tea, "Tell me, why did you invite me here?"

The monk looked at the teacup in his hand and smiled.
