Chapter 204: The First Step in the Capital
"I have met the Master!" Ling Xin'an and the others saluted, and the young monk returned the salute: "The poor monk Huijue has met the three benefactors. Donor Ling mentioned the incident of Ananda. Do you know what day it is today?"
Ling Xin'an smiled and said: "It won't be Ananda's death day, right?"
Huijue lowered his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Exactly!"
Ling Xin'an was surprised: "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence!"
"It means that the donor has a predestined relationship with Buddhism!" Hui Jue said.
"Haha, little monk, your routine is too vulgar, try another one!" Ling Xin'an said with a smile.
Huijue was confused: "What is the trick the donor said?"
Ling Xin'an said: "Little monk, do you tell everyone you meet that you are related to Buddhism?"
Huijue was sincere and nodded: "Everyone can become a Buddha!"
"Hell is not empty yet!" Ling Xin'an said with a smile.
Huijue was startled: "This statement is very similar to what Buddhists say. Donor Ling really has a predestined relationship with Buddha!"
"Don't you even know Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?" Ling Xin'an asked strangely.
"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?" Huijue said: "The young monk has read all the Buddhist scriptures and has never heard of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!"
Ling Xin'an suddenly realized, and then said: "This man is not a living Buddha, but a demon Buddha. There is a saying in Buddhism that he saves people and kills people, kills himself to become a benevolent person, puts down the butcher's knife and becomes a Buddha immediately. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is such a person."
Huijue was surprised: "Amitabha, the young monk was sitting in meditation in the temple today. He was quiet and thinking, so he went out for a walk. Unexpectedly, he met Donor Ling."
"Young monk, if you are a monk, don't tell lies. Is there anything going on with Ling from Baoen Temple?" Ling Xin'an asked.
Huijue shook his head: "No, today I was in a hurry, so I came to Yongji Bridge. I listened to your words, Ling Donor, and then I remembered that today is really the day of Lord Ananda's death. I met the Donor.
It’s also a connection with Buddha!”
Ling Xin'an smiled and said: "Little monk, do you know? I have never liked Buddhism. In the prosperous age, Buddha was in chaos, and Buddha cultivated the afterlife. If you don't live well in this life, what about all the karma in the next life? I like Ksitigarbha not because
How much bodhisattva heart does he have, but he has thousands of karma in his body, just for his own cause and effect in this life. If hell is not empty, he vows not to become a Buddha. This is not becoming a Buddha at all, but becoming a human being! The way of human beings is the way of the world.
.”
Hui Jue looked at Ling Xin'an with his bright eyes, pondering without saying a word, and said slowly for a long time: "Almsgiver Ling has the root of wisdom. The young monk thinks that he is not as knowledgeable as he is, so he doesn't dare to lie."
Ling Xin'an said: "You don't have to be like this, but Ling really doesn't like Buddhism. You Buddhists say they are quiet and inactive, but they are reborn in the world, accepting the fireworks of the world. They say they are promising, but they call themselves monks.
Regardless of the world of mortals, in my opinion, it is very hypocritical. It is just applying Buddhism to make the world less violent, but it cannot
To resolve the sufferings of the world, so even though Ananda became a sage, he said those words before his death - I would like to turn into a stone bridge and withstand five hundred years of wind, five hundred years of sunshine, and five hundred years of rain.
The rain is beating, but I hope the girl from before can walk across the bridge. Little monk, do you think he has the heart of a Bodhisattva or has become a Buddha?"
Huijue said: "Ananda is our great Buddha. He naturally has the heart of a Bodhisattva and is naturally a Buddha."
"Then Buddhism teaches that the six sense organs are pure. Why did Ananda, after hearing the woman's last wish, run to this stone bridge and say those words before passing away?"
Huijue was stunned. He suddenly felt as if he had never thought about this problem.
Ling Xin'an smiled and led the two girls away. Next to Yongji Bridge were a group of water towns in the south of the Yangtze River. They were more charming than those in Jiangzhou City, with simple stone slabs, not-so-spacious streets, crowded with tourists, and weeping willows on both sides.
Yiyi, the clear water waves, and the breeze blowing make people feel relaxed and happy.
"What a great place!" Xia Xiaoyu said: "It's more peaceful and quiet than the Qingliu River."
"This is a small road with flowing water, and the Qingliu River is like heaven and earth. It's different." Ling Xin'an said.
"Heaven and earth?" Ling Shuang thought for a while, nodded and said: "It is really heaven and earth. When I first came to the capital, I missed Jiangzhou City a little!"
Ling Xin'an said: "Jiangzhou is our root, and we will go back sooner or later.
"
"Hey, isn't this our famous Lord Ling Zhi Anling?" A teasing laughter interrupted the words of the three of them. Ling Xin'an looked and saw two young and similar men in brocade clothes standing in front of them, with fair faces.
He looked overly drunk, with nearly ten guards following behind him, looking at Ling Xin'an with a proud smile on his face.
Zhou Chang, Zhou Qing, and Ling Xin'an from the clan's residence looked at them but were speechless.
Looking at the four people coming slowly, Zhong Wuyan followed Ling Xin'an as his bodyguard and came without any other guards. Ling Xin'an and the four left to one side.
"Oh, your dignified Lord Ling from Jiangzhou City, we were considered brothers back then. Why did he leave without saying hello when he saw us today? It seems that Lord Ling can't see our brothers clearly!" Zhou Chang teased.
The laughter rang out.
Zhou Qing said from the side: "Master Ling is a famous person in the capital, how can he still remember people like us! Hahaha!"
The two laughed wildly and quickly attracted the attention of passers-by, who all looked towards the place.
Seeing Ling Xin'an and her two daughters appear at Yongji Bridge, they all stopped to watch and looked at them.
Only then did I realize that the two women next to Ling Xin'an, despite wearing masks, could not hide their graceful figures. Looking from a distance, they looked like Qinglian who was left alone in the world, proud and lonely.
Ling Xin'an stood still, looked at the two of them and said: "How dare Ling be compared with the two young masters? After so many years, he has successfully lived like a worm. Such an ability is far beyond what Ling can do."
As soon as these words were said, Zhou Chang and the others turned pale and looked at them with cold eyes.
"If you two want to embarrass yourself in this way today, Ling is not talented and will never let you down." After that, he was about to leave.
"Huh, people named Ling, don't rely on your own career to be able to walk around the capital." Zhou Qing sneered.
"Ling never thought about walking around the capital, but it was the two of them. To put it bluntly, if the two of them were not from the clan mansion, they would have been beaten to the point where they could not find their way out!" Ling Xin'an sarcastically said.
road.
"I didn't expect that the separation lasted for so long, which made people sit up and take notice!" Zhou Chang said sarcastically: "You were a nerd who could only write love letters back then. It's a pity that people don't like you!"
Ling Xin'an looked at him and said calmly: "It's a pity that some people don't even have the opportunity to write love letters. They are obviously very jealous, but they have to put on an air of pride that they can get when others can't, to cover up their extremely low self-esteem.
and pathetic losers.”
When these words fell into the ears of the two of them, their expressions became even more purple.
"I have seen stupid people. I have never seen such stupid people come to their doorsteps and be humiliated. I have never seen such demands in my life." Ling Xin'an sneered.
When everyone heard this, they wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh. They could only look at the two groups of people as if they were watching the excitement.
Zhou Qing took a deep breath: "Yes, yes, I didn't expect that the nerds in the capital who were submissive back then have become so fierce!"
"Why should I blame others for my stupidity? It's not that I didn't want to say it back then, but I didn't want to say it. Otherwise, do you think His Majesty would betroth his most outstanding daughter to me today? I am so wise and stupid that only you fools can't see it. The wisdom of a genius
How can you fools understand this?" Ling Xin'an said casually.
Zhou and Chang were stunned, and even the onlookers were stunned as well, dumbfounded as they looked at Ling Xin'an, who praised himself and belittled others in such a way that he looked at peace with himself.
Ling Xin'an looked at them again, her eyes flashing with seriousness: "Smart people should not imitate that idiot Yu Wenhuaji. Don't say that you are not the emperor's eldest grandson, you are just a clan man. Although I dare not kill you, I can interrupt you.
My legs are still fine.”
"you?"
Ling Xin'an looked at the two of them and said with a faint smile: "Tell those people in the capital who have offended me or are displeased with me to come to me. I, Ling, have nothing to do now, not even to play with you.
No, let me teach you how to behave."
After that, he walked away, leaving everyone stunned. Looking at Ling Xin'an's domineering back, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva, feeling surprised and confused in their hearts.
Is this still the dull nerd Ling Zhian who only wrote love letters?
"Sir, isn't this bad?" Xia Xiaoyu said as she walked.
"It's not good or bad. Zhang Guangcai is here. Many things seem to be done well, but in fact he has not done what I want at all. There is still a big gap!" Ling Xin'an said calmly.
"Sir, what do you mean?"
"Xiao Zhang is so honest and honest. He does a lot of things by himself. If I hadn't been reading the account books at home these days and found many problems, I can't even imagine what he has gone through. This guy always only reports good things but not bad things. Even I can't
I believe it." Ling Xin'an sighed.
"Sir, are you saying that our industry has not developed here?" Ling Shuang said.
"No, on the contrary, Xiao Zhang opened it very well, but was suppressed by the local chamber of commerce in various names and things, and then was plagiarized!" Ling Xin'an's eyes flashed.
"Young Master has read all the account books these days!" Xia Xiaoyu explained at the side.
Ling Shuang came back to her senses and then understood and said: "What is the main problem?"
"Market share and profits are guaranteed!" Ling Xin'an said.
"Why didn't Shui Wang say anything?" Ling Shuang said angrily.
"He doesn't quite understand it yet. Don't be too harsh. There are definitely many problems that Guangcai has encountered, including but not limited to what we encountered today."
"Young master, are you saying that we will encounter bullying of this kind?"
"It's not just bullying. I've seen that many diners pay on credit. There are too many bad debts, which account for a large proportion every year. We can't even collect them. Don't worry. In the next time, we will slowly collect the debts.
Together with the interest, they owe us not a penny less."
Ling Shuang said angrily: "It seems that Xiao Zhang is still too honest. Master, what do you want to do?"
Ling Xin'an said while walking: "The capital is just a bigger city than Jiangzhou City. Didn't we also have nothing when we arrived in Jiangzhou City? So what should we do? What else can we do? It doesn't matter if he is the King of Heaven, in short, it is the right thing to do.
Well, starting from tomorrow, Xiaoyu, you will take over all the industries in the capital and investigate every business.
Please give me a summary of the situation of everyone in the shop. Shuang'er, you grew up in the capital and are familiar with the capital. Find a new place for me. What we can't do in Jiangzhou, we are uniquely blessed in the capital. At the same time,
Chapter completed!
