Volume Two, Jiangnan Rain, Chapter 16, Concerned about Chaos
Fan Shaoyou made a fuss and said nonsense. Unexpectedly, Xiao Lian was confused about his concern and believed it. Seeing that Xiao Lian was disgraceful, he couldn't help but feel funny. He added another handful of fire, put his hands together, imitated the two little novice monks, and said aloud: "This donor, I am polite!"
Xiao Lian's face changed color miserably, and she stared at Fan Shaoyou in a daze.
When Fan Shaoyou saw Xiao Lian's appearance, he felt funny and moved. He couldn't bear to joke with him anymore. He stepped forward and laughed and said, "Little fool, silly girl, do you think I am like a person who eats vegetarian food and chants Buddha's name? There are colorful things in the world, and I can't bear to become a monk, and I can't bear to part with you."
Xiao Lian breathed a sigh of relief, reached out to hit him, and said angrily: "You will scare me and bully me, you can't be more serious..."
Fan Shaoyou let her act coquettishly and beat her, and said with a smile: "I know you can't bear to leave me. In the past three years, you have been with me every day and served me with all your heart. I understand your thoughts. Actually, I think of you every night. Don't you understand my feelings?"
Xiao Lian's delicate body shook, stopped and said tremblingly: "But I am just a servant, I'm not worthy of you..."
Fan Shaoyou reached out and grabbed Xiao Lian's hand, covered his heart, stared at Xiao Lian's eyes, and said softly: "Ask me your heart, have I ever treated you at all? My eyes and heart are full of you!"
Xiao Lian's delicate body trembled and his face looked like a peach blossom. Suddenly, he heard footsteps coming from the mountain road. He hurriedly pushed Fan Shaoyou away and whispered: "Let's go soon, someone is here!" After that, he ran quickly to the bottom of the mountain and looked back and smiled.
Fan Shaoyou laughed and chased after him.
Fan Mansion.
Fan Wanjia sat in the living room angrily, staring at Ming Bo and said, "Why do you listen to him in everything? Where is this kid singing? 30,000 taels of silver. He bought all the umbrellas in the city. Now there is no place to put them. What's the matter?"
Ming Bo smiled and said, "Extraordinary people do extraordinary things. Master and young master are amazing. If you don't follow the ordinary path, you will definitely achieve extraordinary achievements."
Fan Wanjia snorted: "You mean, he has his own plans?"
Uncle Ming smiled and said, "The master knows it well, why ask me? You are just acting like this on purpose. If you don't believe in the master, you will not give him 30,000 taels of silver as capital."
Fan Wanjia smiled and narrowed his eyes and said, "You know me. I'm not afraid that he will lose money. But this kid is so brave that he actually posted a notice saying that he would ask Master Miaocong, Lianyin Temple to open an official ceremony and preach and pray for rain. This is a big deal, and it is related to the reputation of my Fan family, and it is not a joke. If Master Miaocong refuses to come forward, what can manpower do? If the request for rain fails, where will our Fan family be placed? How can I face the elders and fellow villagers in Suzhou? Also, Young Master himself is a juren, with fame and fortune, and every move is paid attention to. How can he become an official in the future if he is so embarrassed? "
Ming Bo smiled and said, "Master, don't use anyone, don't doubt people. Why is it your son's turn? You can't believe it? This news has spread all over Suzhou City, and even if you regret it, it's too late."
Fan Wanjia looked worried and snorted.
Ming Bo smiled and said, "Master, please feel at ease and watch the changes. I think the young master must have been fully confident, otherwise he would not be so reckless. Everything has risks, but it may not be a good thing. If the young master successfully prays for rain this time and saves thousands of households, it will be a great merit, accumulate virtue and do good deeds, and the young master becomes famous in one fell swoop, and our Fan family will be famous in one fell swoop."
Fan Wanjia snorted: "It's good to be successful, it's icing on the cake, but if you lose, it will be defeated and will never be restored. Alas, this kid is really angry!"
As he was talking, Fan Shaoyou outside the hall laughed and said, "Dad, who dares to anger you?" As he spoke, he walked in slowly.
Fan Wanjia slapped the table and said angrily: "Good boy, you are finally back! Even if you are so angry, I am almost angry with you!"
Fan Shaoyou smiled and said, "Dad, my child has always been filial and obedient. What's wrong with you making you angry again? You're so angry?"
Fan Wanjia said angrily: "I don't care about your business, and I don't care about it if you lose money or make money. But what do you do to pull our Fan family into the water? What do you say to preach and pray for rain? Do you think you are the Dragon King, the God of Rain, Guanyin Tathagata, and the Jade Emperor?"
Fan Shaoyou laughed and said, "Dad, don't worry, although you are not the Jade Emperor of Tathagata, you have your own wonderful methods. This matter is covered by the child and it is sure to be foolproof."
Fan Wanjia stared at Fan Shaoyou and snorted heavily: "If you kid destroy your future, ruin your reputation, and also ruin your reputation of the Fan family, I can't spare you!"
Fan Shaoyou smiled and said, "If you don't have a diamond, don't take care of porcelain work, don't worry, Daddy. Uncle Ming, what's done?"
Ming Bo smiled and said, "Everything has been done as per the young master's instructions. We have bought all the umbrellas in Suzhou City and have been shipped back to the warehouse for storage."
Fan Shaoyou was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Thank you, Bo Ming. I'm sorry, please send someone to the next day. Let's transport the umbrellas to the outside of Lianyin Temple together in the afternoon."
Uncle Ming was stunned, and Fan Wanjia snorted, "Mr. Ah, what are you doing? Lianyin Temple is a pure Buddhist land, how can you let go of trouble?"
Fan Shaoyou smiled and said, "Dad, the child has just returned from Lianyin Temple. Master Miaocong has promised him that he will open an altar outside Lianyin Temple tomorrow to preach and pray for rain."
Fan Wanjia was shocked and said in a deep voice: "Master Miaocong's generation of great monks, why are you willing to do whatever you want as a child? You haven't lied to your father?"
Fan Shaoyou smiled and said, "I just deceive the heaven and earth, how dare I deceive my parents who gave birth to me and raised me? Don't worry, my father will stay in Lianyin Temple tonight, and have a good chat with the old monk Miaocong, and play a few games of Go by the way. It is also a joy of life."
Fan Wanjia glared and said, "You boy, you are so angry that you still have the time to play chess?"
Fan Shaoyou smiled and said, "Dad, I'm hungry. Please tell the kitchen to prepare meals. I'll eat and drink enough, have a good sleep, and start work in the afternoon!"
At night, the moon shines brightly, and there is no wind.
In the Zen room.
Fan Shaoyou and Miaocong sat opposite each other, and there was a large wooden chessboard in front of them. Most of the chessboard was covered with black and white chess pieces. Two big dragons on both sides were tangled together and trembled endlessly.
Miaocong held a black chess piece in his hand, leaned forward, stared at the chessboard with his eyes tightly, sweating on his forehead, thinking hard, and not making a move.
Fan Shaoyou calmed down and picked up the teacup and took a sip.
