Chapter 1220: The Pearl of the Sea (Part 1)

Li Cheng was in Cangzhou, hundreds of miles away from the capital. Li Cheng rushed back from Cangzhou just a few days after Li Nuo's letter was sent out.

In front of Gao Taijun, Li Cheng acted like a minor child. He was smart and stayed with Gao Taijun for a few years. He knew the old man’s preferences and was naturally easy to make a fuss when he coaxed him.

Gao Taijun believed in Buddhist rituals for most of his life and knew that his deadline was approaching. Not only did he ban meat and fish, but he even used very little vegetarian dishes. He only drank a few sips of porridge every day, and at other times, he drank water.

She was under the guise of fasting, and everyone persuaded her again and again, but she was not very useful.

She is already strong and has a high seniority. For a moment, many juniors in the Li family were difficult to persuade.

But if the old man really has the will tolerantness, the short life span will be even smaller.

Li Nuo was in a dilemma, and told Cao's mansion that his aunt and wife Li knew about it and asked her to make an idea. As a result, Li Cheng came back and knew about it, so he said that he would put it on him.

Li Nuo knew that the old lady loved Li Cheng the most, so he left it to him to persuade him.

Li Cheng did not directly advise, but told the stories of believers and lay Buddhists heard from the people to the elderly.

"There is a Quanshan Temple in Cangzhou, which has worked with several great monks and has also built temples outside. During this year in Cangzhou, my great-grandson also made friends with gentry from several places. Among them, one was named He Qi, and the old father was a lay Buddhist. The old man was plagued by illness and the medicine was ineffective, so he placed hope on the Buddha in exchange for a glimmer of hope. Although he had not been ordained, he served the Buddha with sincerity and recited scriptures in the morning and evening. He usually pity the poor and cherished the old. The Buddha said that he had no ordained the Buddha.

The ancestors had spirit, which really relieved the old layman's illness. When the old layman passed away, several masters from Quanshan Temple came to He Qi to send him away from the reincarnation of He Qi. The old man went to the Western world as he wished, and even the masters praised the old man for his strong heart, which allowed him to escape from the reincarnation of the world." Li Cheng did not speak in front of Gao Taijun like other people in the Li family, avoiding life and death, but instead mentioned the old things in Cangzhou in a relaxed tone.

Because of the connection with Buddhism, Gao Taijun really listened with relish.

"Rebirth?" the old man murmured to himself, his expression a little sad.

Li Cheng nodded and said, "It is to be reborn. Buddhism emphasizes the cultivation of fate. The old layman and Buddha are blessed by the Buddha. He is one step ahead of the Buddhist disciples and goes to the Buddha to listen to the Dharma sound."

When Gao Taijun heard this, he was not happy, but instead frowned slightly, showing a little worry.

Seeing this, Li Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

"If there is no help from the monk, can that old layman be reborn?" Gao Taijun asked with a little hesitation.

Li Cheng said: "The opportunity has come, and the Buddha will come to be reborn. Those monks are just helping them. The key is to look at the cause and effect of the old lay Buddhists. Cause and effect have come. Even if there is no help from the monks, they should transcend reincarnation and transcend reincarnation."

What Li Cheng said was not all fabricated. There are some truths that Gao Taijun had heard of before, but he just didn't think about this, so he didn't pay attention to it.

Now Li Cheng is talking about it with a nose and eyes, and he is in opposition to the Buddhist cause and effect that Gao Taijun had heard of before. Gao Taijun's expression fell into confusion and struggle, and finally showed a little helplessness.

The next day, although Gao Taijun still did not eat vegetarian dishes, he drank half a bowl of porridge. When he was hungry after the meal, he also drank almond tea and hungry.

The Li family breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Nuo and the Quan couple were even more amazed.

Quan just admired his brother-in-law's ability to persuade the stubborn old man to change his mind. However, Li Nuo was so curious that he couldn't help but look for Li Cheng and asked him about the reasons.

"When my great-grandmother was alive, I asked my ancestor if he was blamed for his great-uncle. I was there at that time, and the two emperors just thought I took a nap and did not avoid me. I remember clearly that the ancestor had sunk for a while, but he did not regret getting married with his great-uncle. It was just that the husband and wife were too short in this life. Even when I was young, I could hear the melancholy in the words of the ancestor. She also said that she had sins and had to endure hard to atone for her sins, otherwise she would have to follow her great-uncle and the underground." Li Cheng said.

Li Nuo became more confused when he heard this, and said, "What does this do with fasting or not?"

"Although the ancestor believed in the Buddha for a lifetime, he still couldn't bear to escape from the cycle of reincarnation. He was just for his great-uncle and grandfather." Li Cheng said: "As for sins, I don't know. I was also puzzled at that time, but I also knew that secret matters related to the elders were not for us as the younger generation. In addition, we were young at that time, and forgot about this matter a few days later. Until now, seeing the ancestor like this, I remembered the past." Li Cheng replied in detail.

Although Li Nuo was also curious about what the "atonement" mentioned by Gao Taijun was, it is not the time to explore this now...

Qingfeng Hall, flower hall.

After being invited by colleagues from the Guard Department in his early years, Cao Yong did not return to the house directly after the Hushangya, but went to Qingfeng Hall to attend a banquet.

Because the Ministry of Revenue has been busy with chores recently, Cao Yong couldn't leave easily. When he arrived at Qingfeng Hall, it was already the right time for You (6 pm).

It's already nine days now, and it's dark early.

The Qingfeng Hall was already covered with red lanterns of all sizes, revealing a bit of joy.

However, when Cao Yong entered Qingfeng Hall, he felt something was wrong.

My former colleagues have already arrived almost, and they are sitting in the seats, greeting each other in groups of three or three.

These people are all from imperial guards. Some are now in Beijing, and some are in the local area, and most of them are powerful.

We got together today, and it was invited by Heshan, the host of the banquet, who was the deputy governor of the Manchuria of Zhenglan Banner, to warm up Heshan's birthday.

Beside them, they were not maids and servants serving tea, but beautiful ladies wearing gold and silver, holding cups.

In such a cold weather, they were wearing light silk and satin. Fortunately, the mat was placed in the room, and the ground dragon was warm as spring, and it was not as cold as the beauty.

Cao Yong took a look at it and found that among the more than ten former colleagues at Yan, almost everyone was beside him, even Nalan Fusen, who had always been honest and honest. Only Heshan was surrounded by two.

At this moment, everyone had already discovered that Cao Yong had arrived.

Although Cao Yong's identity is not the highest among the guards and his grade is not the highest, he is young and has a bright future, and everyone stood up to greet him with conscience.

Seeing everyone like this, Cao Yong felt a little embarrassed and said, "I have been delayed on the road. I have come too late. Please forgive me."

He Shan smiled and said, "Although we are not in the Ministry of Revenue, we have heard of the tedious errands of the Ministry of Revenue. Who can choose to solve them?"

Nalanfusson also said, "Cai Youzheng (6:00 pm), Furuo was not late, and we only arrived for a while."

With the birthday star in front of you, Cao Yong must say a few auspicious words to celebrate his birthday.

These beautiful ladies in front of me are just like those of good families, just like those of good families.

But Cao Yong did not regard them as good families. After all, he has been in the officialdom for many years and has been treated with such lenient treatment.

"Suspected of forming cliques and collectively visiting prostitutes," Cao Yong's mind suddenly burst into his mind.

The emperor had just had the Tong family. The Cha family's case was getting bigger and bigger, but these old men avoided it for a while and made a fuss.

Haven’t you heard of the three words “sticky stick”?

Cao Yong felt that his forehead was full of black lines. He Shan had already leaned over and came to Cao Yong and said, "If Fu didn't have any doubts, they were not a prostitute. No matter how confused I was, I wouldn't let everyone get eaten because of this. It's just for fun. If Fu felt it was inappropriate, just say it bluntly."

Heshan spoke frankly, and the other people were still interested, and Cao Yong would not be so disappointed, so he had to say, "The guest follows the host's will, and the guest follows the host's will."

Everyone re-entered the seat, and there was a beauty holding a cup on Cao Yong's right hand.

At fifteen or sixteen years old, she is petite and delicate and fair-skinned, and is the best among the twelve beautiful ladies at the banquet today.

According to He Shan, this woman is called Tiao Niang and is a Hunan girl.

The Hunan girl is passionate, and the slim mother is gentle and sweet, but she is different from other women during the meal.

During the meal, the other women were flattering and respectful, but the slim mother looked faint and was two feet away from Cao Yong. She poured wine and served tea in a regular manner, and did not mean to be flattering.

In this way, Cao Yong was much more comfortable.

Because everyone is a martial artist, he is not as stupid as a fool, and he is also generous after drinking.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone was a little drunk.

Except for Cao Yong and Nalanfusen who were unmoved, most of the others teased and teased the beautiful girl beside him. They hugged each other and were ordinary. There were two people who were drunk, pouting their big thick lips, arching around the beautiful girl's face and neck, which was really not the same.

After all, Nalanfusson felt that he had passed a little, so he called Heshan in a low voice and whispered a few words.

Heshan is the birthday star tonight. After being drunk for a few rounds, his tongue became a little bigger. He said with his tongue straight: "Brother, don't worry... I can't make trouble. They are all big men. There are no shortage of women at home. I can control my crotch..."

Seeing that he did not listen to advice, Nalanfusson had to sigh.

Cao Yong couldn't sit still, and on the mat next to him, a drunkard hummed and laughed, his body was already full of pupa.

Although I didn't take off my clothes, this scene was really unsightly.

Seeing this, Cao Yong felt a little regretful about coming to the banquet.

More than ten years have passed, and everyone’s lives are different. Apart from mentioning old things, they don’t know what else to say.

Although I regretted it, after all, I had some friendship with Heshan, so Cao Yong couldn't leave first, so I could only wait for the end.

Nalanfusen saw that Cao Yong was not involved in the group, so he found a Yuzi and the two of them left the flower hall together.

Qingfeng Hall is one of the famous restaurants by Haizi. Today, Heshan is packaged. Apart from Cao Yong's group, there are no other guests, so there are many free private rooms.

Cao Yong and Nalanfusen found a friend to lead the way, and found a private room to sit for tea.

"These guys are mostly in the army and they are trained with a knife, so they are not as good as wine." Nalanfussen said.

Cao Yong smiled and shook his head, saying, "Wine is a matchmaker, that's what he said, this is not about civil and military..."
