Chapter 19: Copying the Scriptures in Blood
Early in the morning, Chunjiu sent someone to spread the word, saying that the old lady's sedan chair would arrive soon, and asked Lin Qinghe to hurry to wait outside the house.
In front of the mansion, it was already full of people, Lin Zhenyun personally stood in front with a few ladies, followed by the young masters and young ladies in each room, and then the subordinates in the mansion, who also stood according to their ranks.
Lin Qinghe is the eldest daughter, so she naturally stands first, Lin Qingfu looked at the position where she was standing, her eyes were full of jealousy, but a beauty is a beauty, even if she is angry, it is also a different style.
Lin Qingfu was wearing a thin red shirt, which was not too charming, but also not too plain, just right.
Since she was a child, her dress has been strict, and the second lady Yuwei has devoted all her energy to tailoring all the clothes and jewelry for her, and has also invited a special teacher to teach her poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and various etiquette, so Lin Qingfu is shocked to appear on any occasion.
Lin Qinghe smiled faintly, looked over, and saw a very luxurious carriage coming slowly, followed by a few family members, escorting all the way.
Lin Zhenyun hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and a family member opened the curtain, and a half-hundred-year-old woman came out of it, dressed as a servant, who was Mother Hu beside the old lady Yun's side.
Next came the old lady Yun, followed by her personal maid pothos.
Lin Qinghe looked at the old lady, and suddenly had a feeling in his heart as if he was in a different world.
Lin Zhenyun respectfully called out to his mother, and several ladies hurriedly greeted each other with smiles, especially the second lady Yuwei took the place of the pothos and personally supported her.
Yu Wei said with a smile: "Old lady, you look ruddy, and your whole person seems to be twenty years younger. ”
The old lady smiled, reached out and patted the back of her hand gently, and said, "You, your mouth is like honey." ”
met with the young masters and ladies again, and returned to the hall surrounded by everyone.
The second lady smiled and said, "Old lady, when you come back today, we, the juniors, have prepared gifts for you." ”
As he spoke, he took a piece of fabric from Chunxi's hand, smooth as water, and the color was very bright.
"This is the ice silkworm brocade that my mother's brother brought back in Xiyun Kingdom, and it is very comfortable to wear in summer."
The old lady nodded with a smile and motioned for Mother Hu to accept it.
Then, the third lady gave a pair of red coral hooks, and the fourth lady gave a jade ruyi, both of which are very valuable gifts, and the meaning is good.
Lin Qinghe was originally the concubine of the family, and she should have been the first to give a gift, but Lin Qingfu came over first and said with a smile: "Old lady, my granddaughter asked Mr. Xia, the most famous calligrapher in the capital, to write the "Sutra of Amitayus" for you. ”
The old lady looked at her with a smile in her eyes and said, "It's hard for you." ”
Qingmeng immediately walked over, handed over a vase in his hand, and said, "Old lady, this is the new work of the most famous bottle maker in the capital, I have been asking for it for a long time." ”
Then, several young masters also gave gifts.
In the end, everyone's eyes fell on Lin Qinghe's body, and Qingmeng deliberately said: "Eldest sister, shouldn't you have prepared a gift for the old lady?" ”
Lin Qinghe's gaze swept over everyone's bodies lightly, looking at their gloating expressions, he smiled faintly and said, "Old lady, these are a few volumes of Buddhist scriptures that my granddaughter copied for you by herself. ”
Mother Hu took it, and the old lady glanced at it and said in surprise: "You copied it with your own blood?" ”
Lin Qinghe replied lightly: "Old lady, Lin Qinghe heard that copying scriptures with blood is the highest offering of Buddhism and the most pious way to repay gratitude. ”
The old lady looked at this girl who was once the most useless and ugly girl in the house, couldn't help nodding, and said, "I haven't seen you for three years, you have changed a lot, and my grandmother is very happy." ”
