Chapter 365
Chapter 365
Rendong brought her maid and worked with the chef of Baishun Restaurant to prepare some of their signature dishes, and then warmed up the wine and served it to the table.
But he saw the Third Young Master, Linshan and his young mistress, chatting about everything under the sun, with their faces smiling happily.
Pei Che lowered his head and saw a table full of meat and fish. He frowned slightly, "Guan Zhou, I am a monk now——"
"Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but remain in the heart of the Buddha. If Third Brother really wants to give up the ties of the world, he can abandon his parents, ignore his brothers, and ignore his close friends, but he must not give up these two words - wine and meat."
After these words came out, Lin Shan curiously asked, "Young Madam, what you said..., it seems that wine and meat are more important than relatives and close friends."
Song Guanzhou shook his head.
"It's hard to generalize, but since we've given up the filth of this world, the first thing to bear is the ties between people. If we ignore those, the pain in life will be reduced by nine out of ten. As for wine and meat, they are for ourselves, making ourselves happy and giving up the external erosion. Wouldn't that double the happiness?"
Lin Shan didn't quite understand, but Pei Che understood most of it.
He sat firmly in the chair, his monk's robe fluttering gently in the wind. The cuffs were slightly wide, allowing a lot of hot air to enter.
After a long time, he looked up at Song Guanzhou and said, "Although this may seem selfish, it is very much in line with my heart. I have traveled thousands of miles just to seek peace of mind, but now that I have heard Guanzhou's words, I feel that it is time to turn back."
Song Guanzhou raised his eyebrows, "Why, you want to return to secular life right now?"
puff!
Lin Shan couldn't help it, he put down his bowl and chopsticks, and wanted to slam the table and laugh, "Young Madam, I have only heard of becoming a Buddha instantly, how can I return to secular life instantly?"
Pei Che looked very happy, as if he had figured out all the confusion he had been having for years.
He poured himself a full glass of wine, let out a long breath, and felt refreshed all over.
"Does Guanzhou think I should return to secular life?"
Song Guanzhou took a few bites of food slowly, then asked, "Third brother, are you willing to come back home? Are you willing to find a good girl, get married, and have children?"
When Pei Che heard this, he shook his head like a rattle.
"Absolutely not!"
"Which one can't?" Getting married or returning to the mansion?
Pei Che said bluntly, "Neither of them is possible. The mansion is no longer my home. As for starting a family and building a career, I have nothing now. It's useless to talk about these things."
I thought that after I finished speaking, Song Guanzhou would give me some kind consolation.
Just like the second and fourth brothers, they persuaded him to return home, or to start a family business elsewhere, but Song Guanzhou nodded repeatedly, "Then I won't return to secular life!"
what?
Lin Shan was choked by the wine. "Fourth Young Master's wife, won't you persuade the Third Young Master to return home? The master is in the mansion - and he really wants to see the Third Young Master..."
Pei Jian asked Song Guanzhou to meet him. Firstly, Pei Che only wanted to see Song Guanzhou, and secondly, he wanted to comfort Pei Che through Song Guanzhou.
Who would have thought that the Fourth Young Master's wife would be so casual...
"Why advise? If Third Brother wants to forgive, then forgive. If he doesn't want to, no one can force him. He is the biggest victim, and the instigator is still living well in the small Buddhist temple, eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddha's name. What's there to say? Don't make decisions for others without experiencing their suffering."
Young Madam, you speak so fluently!
Pei Che immediately picked up the cup and wanted to toast Song Guanzhou. Song Guanzhou was still eating peanuts and asked Pei Che to wait for a moment. He swallowed the peanuts and then held the cup with both hands, "Third brother, do whatever you want. It's not a bad thing to travel around and see the water. I don't advise you to return to secular life because if you want to travel around, it's easier to take care of your hair without hair-"
"My ancestors!"
Lin Shan was convinced and raised his cup quietly, "I should also toast you two."
"It's boring to toast to each other. Drink today and enjoy the wine today. You are husbands, so you should be more open-minded. Why let others go and make yourself suffer? Having a clear conscience is the responsibility!"
Not to mention Lin Shan who was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, even Pei Che was surprised for a while, and then felt that it was natural.
Pei Che enjoyed this meal very much.
The last time he rescued Song Guanzhou and was trapped in the hunter's house, he felt that this woman was an extraordinary person. After talking to her more today, he finally knew her abilities.
Talkative, cheerful and graceful.
The life philosophy was said crudely, but it was enlightening. Pei Che felt relieved, "Yes, it was the mansion that let me down, not me being selfish."
Bah!
"Third brother, you should have thought so earlier. The mansion is a big family, so it is bound to be full of filth. It is not entirely father's fault, but he did not protect you and your son, so he is not innocent. I don't know how others can persuade you, but I will definitely not say anything against my will."
"Your words are enough, Third Brother. Linshan has been dragging me to the capital, and I thought that things have changed and there is no point in coming back. But now, I want to thank Linshan."
Turning around, he wanted to have a drink with Linshan.
Lin Shan said he dared not, and drank it all in one gulp, "Young Madam is a heroine, and the Third Young Master is a free and easy man. It is a blessing for me to have dinner with you two at the same table today."
It's fun when we are together, but sad when we are apart.
Song Guanzhou was unattended today and got drunk. The wine he brought with him was not enough, so he went to Baishun Restaurant to buy some more. The two kinds of wine were mixed together, and when the hot wind blew, the alcohol immediately surged up in him.
She couldn't even use crutches.
But he still pulled Pei Che's wide sleeves of his monk's robe and said boldly, "Brother, don't be sad. I have also been to that stream room. Others don't know the pain in your heart. I, Song Guanzhou, feel the same way."
Pei Che's face flushed with alcohol, but he tried to comfort his brother and sister-in-law who had tears in their eyes.
"Brother is fine, just rest assured."
The wine made him cry. Song Guanzhou bit his lip and whispered, "Life is short and full of regrets. Just be true to yourself. Brother, as long as I am here, the Xiao family will not be able to leave the temple. Don't worry."
She had heard some rumors and knew that Aunt Fang and Jinzhu had a connection with Pei Che in the past.
But now that he is gone, we can only move forward, right?
Ren Dong and several maids surrounded Song Guanzhou, carefully supporting her, fearing that she would get too excited and hurt her legs and feet, until Pei Che waved his hand and personally brought Zheng Bao to send her to the rented carriage, "Take good care of her, don't hurt her legs and feet again."
Linshan and Liu Er took the order and left.
After returning to the courtyard, Zheng Bao started shouting soon. When Pei Che looked over, he saw the little monk holding two heavy packages in his hands.
"what?"
Zheng Bao walked up to him and said, "Third Young Master, I'm afraid that the Fourth Young Master's wife had someone steal the gold and silver treasures that were left behind." After saying that, he opened two packages, one of which contained small gold ingots and the other contained small pieces of silver.
"It's hard for her. She was in a hurry to go out, but she prepared these things at the last minute."
Gold ingots are valuable and can be used everywhere, while small pieces of silver are more convenient to spend on a daily basis.
Zheng Bao looked at the silver and then at the Third Young Master, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that the young lady is a woman, otherwise--"
"What nonsense, you womanizer!"
Zheng Bao quickly apologized, "I'm not good at speaking, and what I said was wrong. I just thought that if Madam Ruo was a man, she would have a great career."
"That's good."
