The people in the Shenjing gathered together, and the temples and Taoist temples were scattered and scattered in the city. The people in the Shenjing burned incense and prayed for blessings every day on the first and fifteenth day of the day.

“There is Tantuo Temple in front.”

Jin Shiyu said to Su Yang in front of the carriage.

Su Yang understood clearly when he heard this.

Tantuo Temple has a long history and is the earliest Buddhist temple built after Buddhism was introduced to Central China. Since the establishment of the Dagan Dynasty, most of the concubines in the harem believed in Buddhism and liked to come to Tantuo Temple to worship Buddha. Tantuo Temple has been repaired several times and is now majestic and majestic.

Su Yang and Yan Mingyue got off the car in front of the door of Tantuo Temple and looked at Tantuo Temple. They saw that the people were wandering around in this place, mostly dressed up by scholars, and wisps of blue smoke rose in the temple, which was obviously full of incense.

At the entrance of Tantuo Temple, many people sold incense candles here. When they saw Su Yang and Yan Mingyue walking down, an old man hurried forward, led Su Yang and said, "Young Master, do you want to buy incense?"

Su Yang looked at the incense in the old man's hand, and it was all normal, and asked, "How much is it."

"Three taels of silver."

The old man smiled at Su Yang and showed his yellow teeth.

“Too expensive!”

Su Yang shook his head and refused, saying, "Three taels of silver, I can buy a bundle if I change my place."

When the old man heard Su Yang's refusal, he shook his head and returned to his incense stall.

Seeing the old man's attitude, Su Yang walked up and asked, "But you want to sell this temple?"

The business of selling incense in the temple scenic area is normal, and there are many collusions between inside and outside. However, if this person rents a stall, he should be stubborn and sells the incense. However, this person just asked a question and did not force it. He should be the person in the temple. At this job, he would ask a question and fulfill his responsibilities.

When the old man heard this, he turned his head and did not respond to Su Yang at all.

Seeing this, Su Yang stopped asking questions, but got up and walked inside. As soon as he responded to the question, Su Yang could see clearly when he arrived in the temple.

After entering the mountain gate of Tantuo Temple, the first hall is the Heavenly King Hall. In this Heavenly King Hall, Maitreya Buddha, the four heavenly kings are worshipped, and after Maitreya Buddha, Wei Tuo.

The Maitreya Buddha in the Heavenly King Hall is what most people know. He has his chest and abdomen exposed, and his smile always opens. The four heavenly kings around the hall are even more solemn and solemn.

Su Yang and Yan Mingyue walked around the hall and then went backwards.

"Ah? Sir, it's you..."

Su Yang and Yan Mingyue had just walked to the backyard and faced a scholar. After seeing Su Yang, they bowed their hands to bow.

"Zhang Jieshou."

When Su Yang saw this scholar, he also called out the person's name at once.

When I met Zhang Jieshou in Jinling, Su Yang sorted out the beggars in Jinling City and sold small commodities in Jinling City. At the same time, he also hired a gentleman to teach beggars to read and read. The gentleman he hired at that time was Zhang Jieshou. [Chapter 206]

At that time, Zhang Jieshou's family was poor and had a sense of a scholar's arrogance. He rolled in the beggar's nest for a while before he let go of his arrogance and truly integrated into the beggar group. The beggars in Jinling City made small commodities and sold them in the Jiangnan area. Zhang Jieshou also made profits and his family became rich.

"It's rare that sir remembers me."

Zhang Jieshou bowed to Su Yang again, and was full of gratitude to Su Yang, saying, "Through the teacher's training, Jieshou has benefited a lot."

Su Yang nodded slightly, looked at Zhang Jieshou and asked, "Are you here for the scientific test?"

"yes."

Zhang Jieshou nodded and said.

"very good."

Su Yang nodded with satisfaction. Zhang Jieshou was poor when he was in Jinling, but he was born pure filial. After being tempered in Jinling, his knowledge and work were more extraordinary. He was not a nerd who studied hard. Such a person should be of great use to Su Yang.

"You are in this temple, but you burn incense and worship Buddha. If you come to the imperial examination, you will definitely pass the imperial examination?"

Su Yang asked.

“Not that.”

Zhang Jieshou quickly spoke and said, "You can't use scientific research to deal with others, let alone ghosts and gods? I am here, really living here with my wife."

Living here with your wife?

Su Yang looked at Zhang Jieshou, and some demonic aura could be seen in Zhang Jieshou's body.

"Sir, please."

Zhang Jieshou asked Su Yang to walk inside. Su Yang and Yan Mingyue looked at each other, and the two walked into the temple together. Zhang Jieshou was in front, Su Yang and Yan Mingyue were walking behind, and passed the temple in front, and walked towards the Zen room behind.

On the way, Zhang Jieshou also told Su Yang about his situation. Shortly after Su Yang left Jinling, Zhang Jieshou got married. His wife was the daughter of the official family and was called A Xi. Zhang Jieshou's father-in-law went to Shaanxi to take office, and A Xi took his maid and went to the capital with Zhang Jieshou.

Speaking of this, Zhang Jieshou said ashamedly: "It is not a good idea to bring family members and family members in the scientific research. Qingmei wants to go to Beijing to find relatives, but Ah Xi cannot take her shoulders. She will suffer only when she stays at home, so she will follow me thousands of miles away and come here."

Qingmei is Ah Xi’s maid.

Su Yang smiled and said, "It is human nature to be reluctant to give up his wife and children, and it is not a mistake, so why be ashamed?"

Zhang Jie listened to Su Yang's words and nodded repeatedly.

However, Yan Mingyue, who was standing beside her, seemed to have a little colder temperament.

Zhang Jieshou took Su Yang to the backyard outside the Zen room, shouting in a low voice, and there was a movement inside immediately. A woman dressed in a man's clothes and looked beautiful, and opened the door. She saw Su Yang and Yan Mingyue behind her paused slightly, and quickly let go of her figure and let Su Yang and others walk in.

Su Yang looked at this woman. Even though she was wearing men's clothing, Su Yang could still see her talent and beauty, which was beautiful.

"This is Qingmei."

Zhang Jieshou introduced: "My marriage with Ah Xi is all about childhood plums in it."

Su Yang's eyes swept over Qingmei, nodded with a smile, and said, "You are so lucky."

Whether it is Ah Xi or Qingmei, they must be Zhang Jieshou's pillow. Qingmei is threading needles and threads inside, allowing Ah Xi to become a marriage with Zhang Jieshou because Qingmei herself fell in love with Zhang Jieshou and asked Ah Xi to marry her, so she could get married.

And after seeing Qingmei, Su Yang also made something confirmed... Zhang Jieshou is also the protagonist of the Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.

The "Qingmei" in a Chinese Studio records such a story. Zhang Jie from Jinling was poor and rented Wang Jinshi's house to live in, but was born pure filial piety. Qingmei is a half-demon like Yingning. She was sold to Wang Jinshi's home since childhood as a maid next to Ah Xi.

Qingmei fell in love with Zhang Jieshou Chunxiao and thought that Zhang Jieshou was not a property in the pool, so she asked Ah Xi to marry him. However, Ah Xi's parents disliked Zhang Jieshou's poverty and were unwilling to do so. Then Wang Jinshi wanted to take office, and Zhang Jieshou proposed marriage again. This time he wanted to marry Qingmei. After handing over the money he redeemed, he married Qingmei home.

After Qingmei married, she managed Zhang Jieshou's family business, so Zhang Jieshou was able to concentrate on studying. Ah Xi's parents died of illness in just two years and all the property in the family was confiscated. Even Ah Xi also wandered into a temple. Later, a high-ranking official passed by. Ah Xi saw the lady of the high-ranking official and saw that it turned out to be Qingmei. After Qingmei and Ah Xi recognized each other, they asked Ah Xi to marry him and still respect Ah Xi as her sister.

Zhang Jieshou's mother treated Ah Xi and Qingmei together, and asked the subordinates to call both wives. Later, Zhang Jieshou became the Minister of State, and this matter was also written to the emperor. After the emperor learned about it, he enthroned both wives.

This story of Stories from a Chinese Studio is graceful and tortuous, but after Zhang Jieshou and Su Yang got into a relationship in Jinling City, they directly eliminated many processes. After the Zhang family became rich, A Xi's parents naturally agreed and asked Zhang Jieshou to marry A Xi directly, and Qingmei, and after making great progress in his studies in Jinling City, they brought their wives and concubines to find an official position.

Su Yang looked at Qingmei, Zhang Jieshou, and Ah Xi, and instantly understood the causes and consequences of all this, and looked at Zhang Jieshou with a smile on his face.

As the heroine in the book "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", Qingmei has no supernatural powers, but she has the ability to know people and is chaste in nature. She is a rare person.

"The inn outside costs twenty-five taels a month, but in this temple, it costs only three taels a month."

Zhang Jieshou said ashamed: "Because of insufficient money, I came here to make this bad decision."

It sounds very bad to take the women to the temple.

Su Yang understood what Zhang Jieshou meant, and did not worry about this topic, but talked about the situation of the temple.

"The prices of Shenjing are soaring, but the abbot is so generous that he only charges three taels of silver."

Su Yang said: "At this time, there were mostly students taking the exam from all over the world. Tantuo Temple is so cheap, it is also for the benefit of these students... I wonder how many students live here now, how many monks?"

Su Yang was full of curiosity about Tantuo Temple.

After saying this, Zhang Jieshou suddenly felt dumbfounded, and Ah Xi's face turned pale after Zhang Jieshou and lowered her head.

Qingmei's expression remained unchanged. After hearing Su Yang's inquiry, she admitted: "In Tantuo Temple, there are 12 monks, one abbot, one in the prison, one in the Zhike monk, and the rest are sweeping, knocking wooden fish, and cooking. As for the students in Tantuo Temple... only my husband is the only one."

"oh?"

Su Yang was extremely surprised when he heard the words and asked, "I see that there are a lot of people coming and going in Tantuo Temple and the housing prices are so cheap. Why are there so few people living here?"

Tantuo Temple is also a very famous temple in the capital. It is no problem to support hundreds of monks in this kind of temple. However, the entire Tantuo Temple is so big and there are only such people, so there is a problem.

Qingmei pursed her lips and said, "It's because in Tantuo Temple, every night, there will be ghosts crying. Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Although Qingmei is a half-demon, she is extremely keen and has the ability to know people. Seeing that Su Yang is not a fan, she tells everything in Tantuo Temple one by one.

Ao Ren?

Su Yang was slightly stunned when he heard this name.

When he was the city god in Qingyun Mountain, he once saw such a record.

On the third day of the sixth month of the year of Dinghai, it was snowing heavily in Shangqiu, and the snake demon fled to Qingyun, and Hongren defended it.
