Forty-one incense
The warm spring breeze, gently blowing through the Borneo double tree in front of the gate of the Great Xiangguo Temple, all kinds of flowers in the back mountain, among the fragrant trees with fine leaves, quietly blooming, bright and fresh, affectionately surrounding this century-old Zen temple, everything looks so quiet and peaceful.

Luo Huanyan sat in the varnish double car, tightly holding the two volumes of "Bathing Buddha Merit Sutra" that she had copied by herself in the past two days, lifted a corner of the royal blue curtain along the morning frost, and looked out.
At this time, the sky was not yet bright, but there were already many pedestrians on the road, and there were many horse-drawn carriages, staggered past the front and back of the person he was riding.
Luo Huanyan stared tightly, for fear of missing something, her expression became more and more nervous, and her brows unconsciously frowned, forming two small hills.
Chenshuang and Xiyue looked at Luo Huanyan in confusion, but they didn't make a sound to disturb, but just waited more carefully.
Today, the young lady did not go to send the old man to the court, but asked people to prepare fragrant soup for bathing early, and then held the two volumes of "Bathing Buddha Merit Sutra" until she went out, until she got in the car, until now...... Miss's expression, from the solemnity of no joy and no sorrow, to the light lock of Emei at this moment, Chenshuang can't tell what it feels, but she feels that her heart is also pinched.
This trip, can be described as mighty, the momentum is huge, that is, the stepwife Zhou and the second miss, plus the people who bring together are not as many as the eldest lady, the people in Cui Tingxuan, except for a few sprinkler maids, basically all followed, Aunt Hongluo and Cui's mother were in the back car, Mo'er, Ying'er, Lei'er and so on also followed in the car behind.
But Miss, since yesterday, she has gradually lost her excitement, and now she is even more nervous? or something, Morning Frost is a little indescribable.
Luo Huanyan didn't pay attention to it, of course, she didn't notice Chenshuang's gaze, she just looked intently at the outside of the car, the carriages that were either forward or backward, or passing by, no, no, or no!
Luo Huanyan wanted to close her somewhat dry eyes, but she was even more afraid of missing the carriage of Anyang Bofu, so she stared at the small gap along the way, looking intently. But until the mighty six or seven carriages of Luofu stopped in front of the Daxiangguo Temple, Luo Huanyan still didn't see the vehicles of Anyang Bofu.
Luo Huanyan's heart sank little by little, and she couldn't tell what it was like, so she let Chenshuang and Xiyue help her out of the carriage, holding the two volumes of "Bathing Buddha Merit Sutra" and getting together with Zhou and Luo Miaoshu.
Luo Wanyan didn't speak, wearing a straight-sleeved shirt embroidered with folded magnolia flowers on the royal blue ground, with a moon-white Hunan skirt, wrapped in a moon-white short shawl, and a blue gauze hat, Tingting was hired to stand there, but she looked extremely sluggish.
Luo Miaoshu glanced at her, sneered in her heart, and didn't speak, but Zhou frowned, and said secretly in her heart: Is there really any ghost or god that can't be done? Otherwise, why is this Luo Wanyan so sluggish when she arrives at Daxiangguo Temple?
Zhou thought in his heart, but asked with concern on his face: "Yan'er is tired in the car?" After speaking, he smiled, "Yes, I came out before dawn in the early morning, and I am afraid that I am already very tired at this time. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Luo Miaoshu and saw that his baby daughter was no different, so he relieved his heart and walked inside with Xiao Shami.
Luo Wanyan followed behind Zhou without saying a word, followed Xiao Shami to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and sat quietly aside.
After a while, people arrived one after another, and they all sat quietly aside. In Luo Wanyan's memory, she had participated in this kind of ritual twice, so she didn't feel anything, but Luo Miaoshu sat for less than a quarter of an hour, and then asked impatiently, "How long will you have to wait?"
Zhou's face changed slightly, and he was about to speak to appease, when he saw that the main monk Huide monk had led the monks to bring the Buddha statue from the scripture floor to the main hall, there were six monks dressed in rows, welcoming the Buddha statue, two leading the ceremony, the second deacon holding the incense plate, and the Huide holding the incense to the Buddha, which was very solemn.
Zhou couldn't help but glance at Luo Miaoshu, closed his mouth and folded his hands, and knelt down to worship with Monk Huide's incense.
All of a sudden, the novices chanted in unison, "Buddha Shakyamuni Shakyamuni". With the Buddha's name, the bells and drums in the hall are ringing in unison, and the Buddha's sound is bursting.
Luo Huanyan didn't know if she was awakened by this Buddha sound, or because when she knelt down and got up, she accidentally saw that not far from her, Mrs. Anyang Botai was wearing a plain blue Hangzhou silk shirt, holding a clean and concise bun, and three Bodhi hairpins that Luo Huanyan was very familiar with were inserted in her hair bun, and she just knelt down.
At this moment, Luo Huanyan felt that her heart had settled down all of a sudden. The corners of his eyes and eyebrows also showed a slight smile.
Zhou Shi chuckled in his heart, not understanding how Luo Huanyan could have changed so much at this time, and couldn't help but look up at the solemn Buddha statue: Could it be that there are really gods and Buddhas in this world? So in the next kneeling and prostration, Zhou became more and more pious.
A ritual, from welcoming the Buddha statue to singing the scriptures, and then to the Huide monk preaching, it took a whole morning, but because what the Huide monk said today was the "Past and Present Cause and Effect Sutra" that Luo Huanyan had never heard in her memory, she listened very attentively, and did not notice Luo Miaoshu's impatience and the change in Zhou's expression.
After the ritual was completed, Zhou led Luo Huanyan and Luo Miaoshu sisters to the Zen monastery that had already been booked, they were tired and tired, and simply used the fasting meal, and told the two sisters, especially Luo Huanyan, don't go to the release pool by yourself, etc., and sent the two to rest.
Luo Huanyan sneered in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, and even deliberately showed fear on her face when Zhou mentioned the release pool. Seeing that, Luo Miaoshu also sneered in her heart.
Luo Wanyan ignored Luo Miaoshu, and when she got out of the meditation room where the Zhou family was, she took Chenshuang and Xiyue back to the meditation room that belonged to her, which was located in the east of the Zhou family.
Hongluo and the nurse Cui Shi had already cleaned up the meditation room, and when they saw Luo Huanyan coming in, they both greeted them. Seeing this, Luo Huanyan smiled and said, "My aunt and nurse don't have to pay attention to me, go and rest." I took a sip of tea and went out for a walk. ”
Hearing Luo Huanyan say that she was going out for a walk, not only the nurse Cui's, but also Hongluo and Morning Frost Xiyue were also nervous. The nurse Cui Shi's face changed even more, and she asked urgently, "Miss, where are you going?"
Only then did he realize that he was in a hurry, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a reluctant smile: "Miss will get up before dawn, and she will be busy until this time, depending on the slave maid, it is better to lie down for a while and be lazy, and then turn around and the slave and maid will accompany the young lady to go around." ”
Luo Huanyan understood that they were worried that something would happen to them or cause trouble...... But if she didn't go to the Zen courtyard where Mrs. Anyang usually lived, Luo Huanyan was not at ease after all, so she smiled and said: "No need, you can rest, just accompany me to Tallinn in the back with the morning frost and the setting moon." ”
Luo Wanyan's tone was very decisive and affirmative, Hongluo and the nurse Cui Shi were stunned, knowing that this was not to be refused, although they were flustered, they didn't say anything more, and only hurriedly told Chenshuang and Xiyue.
