The next morning, it rained. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Lin family asked Mrs. Tu to say goodbye, took Hexiang and Qiaolan into the carriage, and went straight to the Great Compassion Temple.

Every festival, the flow of people in front of the Great Compassion Temple is crowded. Colorful booths were erected there, and monks took turns to give lectures to the people. It is not better than arguing with high monks, or promoting Buddhism to dignitaries. This kind of lecture chooses articulate monks, and tells wonderful stories about the Dharma.

People are listening to the lectures on the third floor and three layers outside, and there are vendors walking around carrying sugar gourds, which seems to be very lively.

Lin's carriage stopped and went straight to the courtyard on the side of the Great Compassion Temple. As the most prosperous temple in Luoyang City, there are often monks who come to place orders, female dependents who do dojos, and students who borrow to study. It was originally a side courtyard to borrow, but the scale expanded more and more, and finally it became a courtyard group that existed dependent on the Great Compassion Temple.

This courtyard group is several times larger than the scale of Guangren Temple in Suzhou. It was also used for different purposes, and the courtyard temporarily enclosed by the female dependents was closer to the temple. The closer to the Temple of Great Compassion, the more expensive the rent and the more elegant the courtyard. If you rent such a courtyard, you can also invite senior monks to give lectures alone.

Mrs. An Pinghou rented such a courtyard.

Lin got out of the car in front of the door and took Hexiang's hand into the yard. Bypassing a shadow wall covered with flowers and vines, there is a square patio in front of you, a bluestone case, and a pear blossom in full bloom, forming a Zen picture.

The subordinates brought by Mrs. An Pinghou stood in all parts of the courtyard in an orderly manner, waiting for orders. In the main room of the courtyard, there was the chanting of a monk Qingyue.

Seeing that the Lin family was coming, the monk bowed his head, and Mrs. An Pinghou returned the salute: "Come here now, and then invite Master Jingkong to give a lecture in the afternoon." ”

The Clearance Mage is about forty years old, with a broad face and a clear voice. Although he is not very old, he is one of the famous preachers of the Great Compassion Temple. He smiled faintly and stepped back with his hands folded.

Mrs. Anping Hou Lin Anjia patted the soft couch beside her and said, "Sister An Rong, come, come and sit." ”

Feng Zhu, the first-class maid beside Lin Anjia, took a big welcome pillow and put it behind Lin Anrong.

"Tell me, what's the matter? Is it worth it for you? Lin Anjia took a sip of tea and asked casually.

Lin took the teacup and said angrily: "Sister, you don't know, the Xu family got into a lawsuit, and now they are just dilapidated merchants, and they can't even keep their property, so they have the cheekiness to go to their parents' family." still holding on to the shelves, thinking that they are rich in Jiangnan? ”

"Alright, extinguish the fire. This good pre-rain dragon well, you need to taste it slowly, don't waste it. ”

In front of her sister-in-law, the Lin family has always been flattering and flattering. At this age, he was a little presumptuous, and now that he saw her speak, he didn't dare to say any more, and accompanied Lin Anjia to drink tea slowly.

By noon, the meal had arrived. The special feature of this day's meal is that it is made of toon, which has a unique flavor. Lin accompanied Lin Anjia, slowly finished the fast, and the maid served and rinsed her mouth. Lin Shi said stupidly: "Today, the little girl of the Xu family also renovated some toon banquet and invited me to come." I'm not going, using it to give her this decency? ”

Lin Anjia said lightly: "You are here, naturally you didn't go." Who did she invite? ”

"The Tu family has been invited, I didn't go, so I let my two daughters-in-law go." Lin said.

Lin Anjia sat up, her eyes flashed, and she said, "You are confused!" Since the Xu family is not pleasing to the eye, why did they give them this opportunity to show their faces? Since the whole family has been invited, you will not go alone. It's not that you don't give the little girl of the Xu family decency, I'm afraid that in the end, it will become your own loss of decency. ”

"What? It's not that serious, is it? I don't want them to show their faces, but the Xu family is entertaining guests in the courtyard where they live, what can I do. ”

Lin Anjia said in her heart, this sister is still as stupid as ever, so she had to open her mouth to explain: "You are holding the feed, if you want them to fail this banquet, it is not easy." If the people in the kitchen dare not listen to you, they will all be sold. ”

Lin sneered for a moment and said, "I asked them to build their own kitchen." ”

"You!" Lin Anjia hated iron and said: "How can they let them open their own small kitchen?" If you are a man, you have to eat, three meals a day. What a good chance is this, you let them do it themselves? ”

Lin hurriedly explained: "I thought, the Xu family has a large family, more than 30 people. If they are all raised by the Tu family, who knows how long they will live? The Xu family doesn't mention leaving, and I can't drive them out, no, the old lady is still there. ”

Lin Anjia was quite helpless about her way of thinking. If it weren't for the fact that there were few people in her mother's family, and the closest relationship in Luoyang was Lin Anrong, she would really be impatient to deal with her.

had to pick out clearly: "Don't just look at the little money in front of you and spend some thought." Not letting the Xu family open a small kitchen does not mean that they have to be raised. dragged the family back to live in his parents' house, embarrassed to let Tu's family raise? He glanced at her obliquely and asked, "I still remember how clever you were before you got married, where did your mind go now?" ”

Lin was a little stunned by what she said, and said, "I'm just angry." The day after the Xu family came, Mrs. Tu rewarded the little girl Xu Wanzhen with the words he had just written. He hugged his great-grandson all over the yard, for fear that others would not know, and he valued the Xu family in his heart. ”

"I think you're living too comfortably in the Tu family, and you forgot how to use your brain." Lin Anjia said unceremoniously: "I only look at the money in my eyes, are you going to bring this money into the coffin?" ”

"I don't save more, counting on his little money to live? Guozijian just has a good name, and that little money is not enough to stuff his teeth. married two daughters-in-law, and lost the dowries of two concubines. Seeing that the two granddaughters are about to get married again, the money from the academy will not go to the public school. Sister, you know, where is my dowry enough? Lin sighed.

Lin Anjia was silent, it is true that everyone has their own life and their own way of living. There are several sisters in the family, Lin Anrong married the best, and gave birth to two sons-in-law in one go, and now the two daughters-in-law are waiting, how many people are looking at it. But every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and only he knows the suffering inside.

The two old sisters were talking in the Great Compassion Temple, and the toon banquet in Qingzhuyuan was also ready to stop.

In the afternoon, Tu Qiongyu came to Qingzhuyuan. She has always rarely gone out, so she took this opportunity to talk to her sister.

Old lady Tu arrived the second, paced around the yard, twisted her beard and nodded, "Well, the yard is well maintained." Mrs. Wu smiled lightly beside her, and when Mrs. Tu said this, she expressed her approval.

Xu Wenyu followed behind Mrs. Tu and mischievously learned to pace him, and the courtyard was full of laughter for a while.

Xu Wanzhen, as the main person who handled this toon feast, took Sang Zi to inspect everywhere.

Although it was confined to Qingzhu Garden, she used some exquisite thoughts in this banquet. (To be continued.) )
