Chapter 23: Copying the Scriptures

Mama Su replied: "Zhuang Ziyun: Those who have attained the Tao in ancient times are poor and happy, and they are happy. The pleasure is not poor, and morality is here, and the poor is the order of cold, summer, wind and rain. Isn't Miss Fang Cai's words the best interpretation of this sentence?"

Yu Shi was drinking tea with a tea bowl, and when he heard Mama Su's words, he almost burst out laughing, Qiu Ruyi's face also had red clouds, but he still said toughly: "What Zhuangziyun Zhuangziyu, it's right, it's also a skill." ”

Yu looked at his daughter dotingly, and said with a smile: "Don't quibble, let people of insight hear and laugh off their big teeth! What Mama Su said is very right, learn some skills and be prepared. ”

Qiu Ruyi snapped her fingers and said, "My daughter is also versatile." After reading, writing, embroidery and tailoring, kitchen stove, everything is at your fingertips, and the mother is not satisfied, does she still want her daughter to learn the way of governing the country and the country?"

Yu Shi knew that he would not be able to change his daughter's mind for a while, so he turned to ask: "I asked you to copy all the Zhun Ti mantras yesterday, but you have copied all of them?" In two days it will be the birthday of the Zhun Ti Buddha's mother, and I think that there must be a lot of pilgrims in the nunnery that day, so it is better to pass early tomorrow morning and be quieter." ”

Qiu Ruyi suddenly made a bitter face and said: "I want ninety-nine or eighty-one, and my eyes are all written, so I only wrote forty or fifty copies." ”

Yu Shi smiled and said: "Then you still have time to lecture at this time, don't copy it, I will count it myself early tomorrow morning, not perfunctory, let alone find someone to copy it, this is your merit, they copy it." ”

Qiu Ruyi knew that there was nothing wrong with other things, but in this matter of worshiping the Buddha, her mother would not give an inch, so she had to stagger to her feet, pretending not to see the blaming eyes of Yu and Mama Su, and walked listlessly towards the house.

Xing'er Chu'er waited for the girl to give Yu a gift, and then followed into the house to serve.

Although Qiu Ruyi was reluctant in his heart, he didn't dare to disobey his mother's order and let people burn incense, but he took a few deep breaths beside him, and when his mood was completely calm, he picked up his pen and wrote silently.

Jin Wuxi fell, the jade rabbit rose eastward, Yu heard that Qiu Ruyi wrote a rise, but he couldn't come to eat for the time being, Yu rarely saw his daughter copying the scriptures so focused, so he didn't allow Qiu Ruhai to disturb, and instructed the kitchen to make a few of his daughter's favorite meals to send.

Xing'er and Chu'er waited for Qiu Ruyi in the room for most of the day, and they were also hungry together, but fortunately, Qiu Ruyi looked up and saw that the moon was shining outside, so they kindly asked them to eat first, and by the way, let them relax, so the two went out and changed to Mama Su to go in to serve.

Mama Su entered the room and saw Qiu Ruyi writing quietly, at this time the light was hazy and the incense mist was ethereal, which set off Qiu Ruyi's solemn appearance, and it was not like a person in the world.

Mama Su was horrified, Qiu Ruyi had already raised her head, and smiled at Mama Su: "After the two of them went out, I wrote a few more, Mama will help me count the copies." ”

Mama Su woke up like a dream, agreed repeatedly, stepped forward to straighten out the scriptures, counted them one by one, counted them all, and said, "It's already eighty-nine." ”

Qiu Ruyi didn't hear it, so she just copied herself, and Mama Su was attracted by Qiu Ruyi's handwriting.

Mama Su had little contact with Qiu Ruyi in the past, and was affected by the rumors outside, but Qiu Ruyi was an unlearned and unskilled person, but she didn't expect her words to be surprisingly beautiful, like flowing water, which made people feel comfortable to read.

"Ahh Just let Apricot wash the pen in a while. ”

Mama Su was taken aback, and when she looked up, she saw Qiu Ruyi raising her hand and throwing the sheep into the pen holder, so she praised it heartily: "Miss's handwriting is really beautiful." ”

Qiu Ruyi rubbed his wrist and smiled proudly: "That's the same, since I can write, I have to copy Buddhist scriptures every day, and it has been difficult to practice well in the past ten years." ”

Qiu Ruyi said that, then moved his body and walked to the window, looking out in the moonlight.

As long as Qiu Ruyi looks like a lady in the outside, Mama Su is too lazy to teach Qiu Ruyi at home, so she only pretends not to see Qiu Ruyi's improper behavior at this time, and stepped forward to take out the sheep hair and put it aside, while she blew the scriptures that Qiu Ruyi had just written.

At this time, the moonlight was like silver, Qiu Ruyi quietly looked at the bright moon in the sky, perhaps because of copying scriptures, Qiu Ruyi felt that he was rarely calm today.

She has been loved by her family since she was a child, she has responded to everything, and she lives a very good life every day, and she never knows what it is like to be sad and sad, but during this period of time, I don't know why, she always seems to have a trace of sentimentality hidden in her heart, and when she looks for it carefully, she is always nowhere to be seen, which makes her confused.

But today, when she was copying the scriptures, her heart was rarely calm, could it be that she really had a relationship with the Buddha?

Qiu Ruyi retracted his gaze, turned his head to look at Mama Su and asked, "Mama is also a person who has gone through the world, do you believe that there are really Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in this world?"

Mama Su was putting away the paper with dry ink, and when she heard the words, her hand couldn't help but pause, it was the first time she heard a trace of amazement in Qiu Ruyi's voice, Mama Su thought that she must have heard it wrong, but she didn't realize that she was surprised and forgot to answer.

In fact, Qiu Ruyi only had feelings, and didn't want to get any answers from Mama Su.

She paused for a moment, then smiled briskly, "I don't think so." Yes, isn't the Buddha and Bodhisattva very pitiful, the ears are nagged by thousands of people every day, and there is no quiet time, so annoyed that he is not a Buddha. It's no wonder that people are so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, which is what it means. ”

At this time, Mama Su called Amitabha Buddha and said: "Children are not sensible, their mouths are open, and the Buddha and Bodhisattva should not be blamed." He also persuaded Qiu Ruyi and said: "Who knows about this, there is no harm in believing in Buddhism, maybe when there will be good results." ”

Qiu Ruyi didn't care, and shouted loudly: "Xing'er, you are full, your young lady is still hungry, hurry up and set the meal." ”

Mama Su put the scriptures in the box, and followed Qiu Ruyi to the hall, when the meal was already arranged, and she served Qiu Ruyi with Xing'er and others.

There was nothing to say for a night, and early in the morning of the second day, Yu Shi first counted the scriptures carefully, nodded and said: "Yes, no more, no less, and the words are also written carefully and neatly." ”

Qiu Ruyi snorted: "When did I dare to disobey my mother's order." ”

Qiu Ruhai also helped: "That's it, that's it, you can eat." ”

Yu Shi saw that it was not early, so he hurriedly asked people to set the meal.

The mother and son had dinner, Yu's mother and daughter sat in the car, Qiu Ruhai rode a horse to protect the side, and the slaves gathered around the car, and everyone went to the Fushan Nunnery outside the city.

Out of Shunyang City, Qiu Ruyi secretly picked up the curtain and looked out a few times, put down the curtain and turned his head to see his mother looking at him reproachfully, and said with a smile: "The second brother is really majestic riding a horse." Since last year, his father no longer forced him to study, and the whole person has become vibrant, and he doesn't look like a person before and after. Once upon a time, when I saw my father, I shrank like a mouse and a cat, and I felt pitiful when I looked at it. ”

Yu Shi smiled: "Don't laugh at the pig black, you are no better when you see your father, and you still pity your second brother here." ”
