551 Concubine Rong
Su Shi dragged the third master and said to Cousin Song: "Then hand it over to my cousin, the person my cousin is looking for, I and your brother De can rest assured." ”
The third master also echoed his wife's words, and Cousin Song regretted that Brother De couldn't go with him, and there was no companion on the way, so Su smiled at the old man and said, Otherwise, it's okay to follow Cousin Song to play, and the third master vetoed it without thinking about it.
After Cousin Song said this, he said goodbye, and he had to go back to the house to listen to the old man's command.
After the third master returned to the house, he said how could he leave, his son has a lot of family affairs, and a bunch of words, Su Shi smiled and did not answer, listening and nodding.
Tianci'an was all tidied up in the morning, ready to welcome the phoenix. Seven Niangzi in the team with hair practice, the surrounding silence, the Seven Lady is still the first time to see the queen, before only heard that the queen is kind and peaceful, every year also to Tianci Nunnery large donations. I just don't know what day it is, the queen suddenly came to Tianci Nunnery to incense.
Master Jueneng greeted the queen outside the gate, accompanied the mother to burn incense in the main hall, worshiped the Bodhisattva, and then returned to the living room.
The queen asked about the matters in the nunnery, and asked about the situation of the nuns in the nunnery with concern, and mentioned the female dependents who led the practice, and sighed at their piety.
Master Jueneng smiled slightly, and called the female dependents of the nunnery to enter the hall to greet the queen mother, the queen mother looked at the master of Jueneng unexpectedly, originally she was so planned, to find an excuse to see the seven ladies of the Xie Mansion, coincidentally, the master of Jueneng took the initiative to propose, and the queen mother nodded and agreed.
Seven ladies followed the crowd into the hall, kneeling down to worship the queen mother, the queen mother picked a few older people to ask a few words, praising their sincere attitude of praying for their families and children, several people knelt down and kowtowed excitedly, thanking the queen mother.
The queen asked again that there was a little lady in Xie Mansion who prayed for her mother-in-law, but the seventh lady stepped forward from the middle after hearing this.
After the ceremony, the seventh lady raised her head slightly and glanced at the queen mother, and saw that it was a kind and slightly chubby kind woman, without the stern solemnity of the imagination, just like the usual wife in the house, she may have come to the nunnery, and she was dressed plainly, except for the phoenix crown on her head, there was not too much jewelry.
Just when the seventh lady lowered her eyes, she felt that after the queen mother looked at her, she was a little surprised, and in a blink of an eye, it was that kind smile again, and she asked a few simple and peaceful questions, and let her retreat.
After the queen went to Tianci Nunnery, the emperor also went to Panyun Temple in the early morning, and met the eight idiot masters, which was a joke, saying that the master had accepted a registered disciple, do you know why this disciple wanted to apprentice?
After listening to the emperor's joke, the emperor's face was motionless, and the emperor became curious, sat down opposite the master, and asked: "I asked the master why he accepted Xiao'er as a disciple, but I didn't see the master reply, at that time, I said that Xiaoba was very naughty, and he didn't let him follow the rules since he was a child, he didn't have the heart to read any Buddha, this will know, haha, he is just for a little lady! What else does the master have to say!"
The Eight Idiot Master raised his eyes to look at the gloating emperor and said, "Everything is fate." He got up and went out of the house, and when he got to the door, he said, "Your son is better than you in chanting." And he left.
The angry emperor asked himself in the palace, "What does it mean that my son is better at reciting scriptures than me? Just such a naughty boy who loves to sing and opera, and he can also recite scriptures better than me? Jokes!"
When the emperor and the queen returned to the palace, the emperor told the queen, saying that the master was old and confused, and he couldn't see people, and he didn't even see Xiao Ba's ill intentions, etc., but he didn't say that the son chanted the scriptures better than him, if this sentence was known to outsiders, in the careful work of the old people who were thinking blindly, it would be going to make big waves, and he was stronger than the emperor, so how could the prince be? Although it was about chanting, it was not only about roasting Xiaoba on the fire, but also making the prince and the ministers uneasy.
Based on the emperor's understanding of the eight idiots, he absolutely didn't say anything about it, just to be angry with himself. If it was really about the imperial court, how could he say it so easily? If Master Jueneng said this, then the emperor would be extremely nervous.
After the emperor finished speaking, he looked at the queen thoughtfully, and then he stopped talking, and then remembered to ask the queen about going to Tianci Nunnery to see the lady of Xiefu.
The queen thought for a while and asked the emperor, "Does the emperor remember my cousin?"
The emperor said: "How can I remember this? Zitong has a lot of cousins, how can I remember them all." ”
The queen said: "I'm talking about Concubine Rong, the eighth parent." ”
The emperor was stunned, shook his head, and said regretfully: "Zitong doesn't ask, I really don't remember, when there was Xiaoba, there were things inside and outside the court, and Liaodong was at war again, so I couldn't take care of it at all, the night Xiaoba was born, I was discussing the war with the minister all night, so I also felt ashamed of Concubine Rong, and I was also very distressed about Xiaoba, several sons, only he was born I don't know, wait for the letter, Concubine Rong has passed away, and I haven't seen the last side." ”
"It's not to blame the emperor, it's that I didn't let people inform the emperor, the emperor couldn't take care of eating in those days, I also thought, the woman gave birth, and the emperor couldn't help anything in front of him, who knew that my hard-working cousin didn't get through it, and left Xiaoba and went. As she spoke, tears flowed from the queen's eyes.
The emperor took out a handkerchief to wipe the queen's tears, the queen took it and wiped her tears, and the emperor asked: "What's the matter? I went to the nunnery and remembered Concubine Rong? Why don't you do a ritual for Concubine Rong, and let Xiaoba kowtow to his mother a few more times, so that Concubine Rong can rest assured, Xiaoba has grown up well, and his father is still angry that the emperor wants to beat him, for the sake of Concubine Rong, this time he will spare him, let him read to Concubine Rong in Panyun Temple for a few months, Zitong don't worry, I don't agree, it's useless for Xiaoba to mess around. ”
The queen shook her head and said: "I saw the little lady of Xie Mansion today, I was startled, I felt like Concubine Rong with a dozen eyes, although I was wearing a hat, I also saw that it was a Juanli little lady, and then I also asked Master Jueneng, saying that it was a clever little lady, what is rare is that steady, knowledge, that is, the tenacity that is willing to endure hardships and study, it is not like a noble daughter, the master also said that it is rare for people to have intelligence and mind, smart mind will be clear, and good mind will make people accessible. I hinted at whether I could marry into the royal family, and Master Jue Neng said that everything is a matter of fate, and you can't force it to ask for it, and you can't force it to get married. ”
The emperor remembered that the eight idiots left and said that everything was fate, did he also mean this? How could he agree to Xiao Ba's request to apprentice at that time, and the eight idiots laughed at him and said that after decades of experience, he was not as good as a little lady. After he didn't speak, the emperor couldn't figure it out, so he asked the secret guard in the temple, only to know that after a Jia lady said a word, the master accepted Xiaoba as a registered disciple.
