Chapter XXXVII
The temple did not accept female dependents, but it couldn't withstand Tao Xiushui's repeated requests. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It wasn't until a little monk couldn't bear it that he took her to see the presiding officer of the temple.
The host looked like an old man in his sixties and seventies.
The eyebrows and beards are white, the eyes are as bright as lights, the figure is strong and tough, and there is a fairy wind in every gesture.
Tao Xiushui was respectful and rude, explaining his intentions.
The main attendant twisted the huge Buddha beads in his hand, raised his eyes and looked at Tao Xiushui for a long time and said:
"The female benefactor is the closest relative of Mrs. Tao, why is she only here now?"
Tao Xiushui said indifferently: "I am not satisfied with the host, I didn't know that my grandfather lived here, so I came late."
"Oh! the benefactor really admits that it was your grandfather."
Tao Xiushui felt that this monk was terrifying, as if he wanted to see through her inner soul, and nodded after a moment:
"Of course, that was my grandfather"
"Okay, good, since the female benefactor has admitted it, then let's be his dear relatives in the future!
Tao Xiushui felt that there was something in the monk's words, and said puzzledly: "Why did the master say this!"
"My heart understands my heart, and I mistakenly make a good heart into a bad fate"
The great monk clasped his hands together, recited a Buddhist saying, and then closed his eyes and twisted the Buddha beads without saying anything.
Tao Xiushui didn't understand this, so she silently recited it in her heart a few times, but she didn't realize what it meant.
The temple did not have a separate courtyard for the female benefactor, so Tao Xiushui chose the closest room to her grandfather to live in.
But it was a coincidence, I didn't expect Chu Yi to live next door to her.
The two went in one and the other went out, and they met when they looked up.
Tao Xiushui said first: "You also live here"
Chu Yi nodded.
Tao Xiushui felt that this was his own business, and there was no need to trap this person here.
Explain the authenticity:
"I came here to solve some things, you don't have to be here too, I'll go back by myself after I finish dealing with things, so you ......"
Before Tao Xiushui finished speaking, he saw that this person only said, "Don't worry about it", and then turned around and went into the house and left.
Really, it's not easy to communicate with this person.
Dinner was a vegetarian meal in the temple, Tao Xiushui gave his grandfather a bowl of water dripping with blood from the demon spirit, and seeing that his spirit was better, he fed half a bowl of rice porridge.
She once asked the little monk who served her grandfather, "Why did Master Tao send his father here on the charge of unfilial piety?"
The waiter smiled and said: "The female benefactor is wrong, it is the old lady Tao herself who has to come to the temple to recuperate, not the old man Tao to send her."
"What?"
Tao Xiushui didn't understand, why did her grandfather leave her and come here? Could it be that her grandfather was disappointed in the original owner and didn't want to care about her anymore?
I saw that my grandfather had eaten dinner and kept his eyes slightly closed.
Her thin body made her unbearable to ask, although she wanted to know what was going on.
In the evening, my grandfather woke up, saw her by his side, and smiled and said nothing.
Tao Xiushui was suspicious, and she slept very unsteadily this night.
In case the grandfather really loses patience with the original owner, then she will really become the abandoned daughter of the Tao family.
Although she can write well now, she can only keep her for a while.
Bao Buqi Master Tao was bewitched by Mrs. Tao that day and sold her.
Thinking of this, she suddenly lost her sleep.
"No, never" to live again, she will never succumb to fate.
Early the next morning, Tao Xiushui did not alarm Qingzhu, so he got up early to open the door.
She wanted to see her grandfather.
I didn't see it all night, and I don't know if the old man got better after drinking the blood of the demon spirit.
She was afraid that the old man would not wake up, so she opened the door lightly.
As soon as his feet entered the house, he heard a voice say:
"You thief girl, why did you come here, quickly dress my grandfather and go to the ground, I want to go out for a walk, if I don't go out, my body will be stiff"
"Grandfather, you're alright," Tao Xiushui shouted happily into the house.
"Hmph, I'm not good, see who goes home and calls the shots for you"
The old man spoke with a lot of energy, and he seemed to be in good spirits, and he was indeed much better.
Tao Xiushui happily helped Mrs. Tao get up and dress, until Qingzhu woke up and saw the grandfather and grandson walking outside.
"Miss, old lady...... How are you?" Qingzhu's mouth opened wide in surprise.
"Little girl, I haven't seen you for a few days, don't you know me, an old man?"
Qingzhu was startled, tears came out of his eyes, and he happily ran to the old lady Tao, crying and laughing:
"Old lady, you're alright, you're finally well"
Mrs. Tao used to believe in Buddhism at home, except for spoiling Tao Xiushui, she usually didn't care about the world.
This time, he felt that he was not very well, as if someone had told him in the dark, and he felt that as long as he went to the temple, he would be cured, so he came.
When he left, he caught up with Tao Xiushui and Xiao An, and Mrs. Tao was sad and disappointed, and wanted her father to teach this girl a good lesson, so he didn't ask again, and left ruthlessly.
When I saw it at this time, I was full of joy, and I had long forgotten what happened.
Mrs. Tao snorted lightly, "You two have no conscience, and you didn't say that you came to see me earlier, but it took so long to come."
Tao Xiushui and Qingzhu smiled, and replied in unison: "It's the old lady, we're late, please punish you."
"Remember it for me first, and then punish me when I get better, now go and get me food, old man, I'm going to starve to death"
Qingzhu laughed, replied "yes" and hurriedly ran away.
Tao Xiushui didn't expect this grandfather to be so interesting, and he was much cuter than Master Tao.
After Qingzhu retrieved the food and several people finished eating, Tao Xiushui thought about the man next door.
She fed her grandfather a bowl of blood dripping from the demon spirit, and asked Qingzhu to accompany her to the front yard where she presided over the chanting for a walk to eat, and then went to Chu Yi's courtyard by herself.
I didn't see these people come out in the morning, and I don't know if they were in the house.
She went into the courtyard and knocked on the door, but for a long time she didn't hear anything from inside.
"Anyone?" Good shouting.
No one replied, could it be that these people couldn't leave?
She also came to ask these people to go.
But without saying goodbye, I felt a little lost in my heart.
I thought about it again, so that I no longer owed this person a favor.
Tao Xiushui had nothing to do, and also went to listen to Zen music.
However, the Dharma taught by the monk is really not something that ordinary people can understand, and she will fall asleep after listening to it.
At noon, several people returned to their residences for lunch, and their grandfather went to take a lunch break, and Tao Xiushui led Qingzhu back to his residence.
As soon as the door opened, the next room opened.
Ah San poked his head out of it and shouted, "Miss Tao, the young master of my family is looking for you to discuss something."
Tao Xiushui didn't expect these people to come back without leaving.
I was happy and surprised.
Why don't you come back!
She said yes and walked over on her own.
When I entered the house, I saw Chu Yi sitting there drinking tea.
"You're looking for me?" She asked, sitting on the side.
Chu Yi put down the teacup and said, "It's not a problem, I just want to know the situation from you."
"What do you say?"
"As far as I know, your family is a ceramic family, but in the past, your pottery family's ceramics did not sell well, I want to know when your family started a business and did well?"
Tao Xiushui's brows furrowed, if there were other problems, she could barely know, but about the Tao family's problems, she really didn't know.
After careful consideration, he said: "I called my maid and you asked her, right? I don't remember most of the Tao family's affairs."
