Chapter 23: A chance encounter at Heian Temple
Zhao Yong originally wanted to go to Ping'an Temple alone, but Zhao Changqing found out that Zhao Changqing wanted to follow her, Zhao Yong coaxed her, "You stay at home obediently, and when Daddy comes back, I will buy you snacks from Nanxiangyuan to eat." ”
Zhao Changqing was very fine, grabbed Zhao Yong's sleeve and didn't let go, and said, "I'm going with my father, I haven't been there for a long time!" If my father doesn't take me, I'll go to my mother's house. Anyway, when my sister cried when she saw me, I didn't come out of my mother's house, and I saw her crying hoarsely! Didn't Daddy say it hurt me the most? I'm going! Daddy took me there! ”
Zhao Yong spoiled Zhao Changqing, but he really couldn't help it, so he had to take Zhao Changqing with him, and let Liu Er follow, and then look at Zhao Changqing.
Zhao Changqing sat in the car with Zhao Yong and asked, "Dad, are you going to the temple to ask, why does your little sister cry when she sees me?" ”
Zhao Yong didn't answer and asked, "Where did you hear the gossip?" ”
"Where do you hear that? You should have gone a long time ago. Zhao Changqing curled his mouth and said, "I really don't know what's going on with her, I haven't scolded her." As for crying when you see me? Originally, my brother couldn't cry, but he also told her to cry endlessly, which was very annoying! You go and ask the master if she stole my cake in her last life, and now she is afraid that I will pursue her, and she is so frightened that she cries! ”
Zhao Yong gave her childish words to amuse, "Nonsense." My sister is just young, and children are like this. You also cried every day when you were a child. ”
"I don't believe it, my grandmother said I was obedient when I was a child."
Zhao Yong smiled, "Yes, my sister Qing is the most obedient." He was afraid that Zhao Changqing would think too much when he heard it, and he didn't want to be a child after all, such innocence was painful. Zhao Yong said, "In addition to worshiping the Bodhisattva this time, we will ask the master to name your younger brothers and sisters." ”
Zhao Changqing nodded obediently, "Take the best name." ”
Heian Temple is not very far, and it will be there in half an hour.
In the first month, there is no mountain and bare water, Heian Temple is not big or small, and the incense is extremely prosperous. It is because there is a master of hardship in this temple, and I heard that he is a monk who has attained the Tao, which is very extraordinary. As a result, there is an endless stream of people who burn incense to petition.
Zhao Yong first took Zhao Changqing to burn incense in the main hall, and then pinched two taels of silver and prepared to go to the Zen temple of the master of suffering, and asked the master to guide him. This is also the rule of the master of suffering, no matter what you ask or ask, as long as you meet, you must give two taels of silver. Of course, two taels is the floor price, and there is no cap. Although the asking price is a bit high, the master of hardship is very effective, and everyone is still flocking to it. Zhao Yong had prepared silver taels before he came, but-
Before I arrived at the Zen temple of the master of Xingku, I saw that the procession that came to ask the master for guidance had been lined up from the master's meditation temple to the main courtyard of Heian Temple.
Zhao Changqing was startled and said, "Dad, many people are waiting to see Master Xingzhu!" ”
Zhao Yong rarely came to the temple, and nodded with palpitations, "Yes." "It's going to have to be a little while.
Liu Er said with great interest the gossip she heard, "I heard that the master of the bitterness is very good, and the family always has a bad business, and then I came to ask the master, and the master told them to start from the courtyard in the courtyard, go three zhang to the east, and then go three zhang to the south, retreat one foot, move four steps to the west, and dig underground." Sure enough, after digging up a coffin, and then sending the coffin to the temple according to the master's instructions, the family's business went smoothly and made a lot of money. The family knew that the master had a miracle, and later donated a full hundred taels of silver to the temple in one go. ”
Zhao Yong gritted his teeth, "Let's go to line up too." ”
Zhao Changqing pointed to the courtyard where the door was half-hidden with the master of suffering, "Dad, which master's Zen courtyard is that?" I see that it is very quiet, so let's go and ask. ”
Zhao Yong said, "Ping'an Temple is the most famous. ”
Zhao Changqing pondered for a moment and smiled, "Dad, think about it, although the Master of Hardship is the most famous, looking at the location of this courtyard, he is still above the Master of Hardship." If this Zen master has no Taoism, how can he be above the master of suffering? Naturally, the master of practice is a high monk, but there are also many people in this world who are not well-known but have profound Buddhism. If you can see it, it is also fate. ”
After Zhao Changqing finished speaking, without waiting for Zhao Yong to hesitate, he took Zhao Yong's hand and went to another Zen temple. Zhao Yong was thrilled to tell Zhao Changqing, but he really didn't want to queue up for that long time, so he went with his daughter.
Push open the half-hidden wooden door, the Zen courtyard is really quiet, and there is no one who knows the guest monks, only a small novice sweeping the courtyard in the rustling.
When Xiao Shami saw someone coming, he dragged the broom with one hand, slightly erected his palm, and said the Buddha's name, "Donor, Uncle Xing's Zen courtyard is next to it." ”
Zhao Changqing said, "We are not here to find the master of suffering, please ask the master if he has time, my father is a little confused and wants to ask the master of the order." ”
Xiao Shami was a little hesitant, and Zhao Changqing asked, "Can the commander have a decree and not see any guests?" ”
The little novice shook his head, "Not really. ”
"The Buddha extradited us here, how could we be rejected by heaven-given opportunity?"
A loud voice suddenly came from the half-open mahogany window, which was like a morning bell and a dusk drum, and it actually made people feel awe-inspiring and alert, "Since it is a God-given opportunity, the two donors are invited to enter." ”
After all, Zhao Yong is a person who practices martial arts, and as soon as he heard this voice, he knew that it was not ordinary, so he immediately put away his contempt and contempt, and took Zhao Changqing's hand and went in.
There is no half-silk decoration in the house, the snow-white walls are all around, the only futon is an old monk, the old monk puts a few sets of tea sets in front of the old monk, and there are two and a half old futons on several places, as if waiting for the visiting guests.
Zhao Yong made a Buddhist salute and said, "I've seen the master." ”
"The donor sits casually." The old monk said, separating three teas from the teapot, "The old man made a vow ten years ago to face the wall for ten years, and today he just came out of the customs, and he is meeting two donors, which is indeed a godsend." "One side gesture of please," the two donors tasted Lao Gao's tea. ”
Zhao Yong has always drunk tea after the tea is warm, and then poured it in one go, and the cow drink is general. Naturally, it wouldn't be so abrupt at this time, so he took it up and took a sip slowly, saying, "Good tea." ”
The old monk smiled and asked, "What's so good?" ”
Zhao Yong reminisced for a moment, "It's not as bitter as my family's tea, I feel that the aroma is faint, the master is not surprised, I am a rough person, I can't say it." ”
The old monk smiled, "The donor is straightforward and open-minded, and good fortune comes from this." He looked at Zhao Changqing with a pair of eyes as quiet as the deep sea, and asked, "What does the little donor think of this tea?" ”
Zhao Changqing said, "The entrance is slightly bitter, the aftertaste is fragrant, and there is a hint of sweetness, and now it is also sweet, it is indeed a good tea." ”
Zhao Yong was very proud in his heart: looking at these words said by her daughter, she knew that she was knowledgeable, good at it, and the book was not read in vain!
The old monk nodded slightly and asked Zhao Yong, "Why did the donor come from?" ”
Zhao Yong was a little embarrassed, but still spoke, "On the second day of the Lunar New Year, my wife gave birth to a son and a daughter for me, which is really a great joy. It's just that for some reason, my little girl cries every time she sees her eldest daughter. Zhao Yong also introduced, "Changqing is my eldest daughter, she is smart and sensible. ”
After listening to this, the old monk asked, "Can you tell Ling Ai Bazi?" ”
Zhao Yong said truthfully.
The old monk's eyebrows condensed slightly, and he sighed for a moment, "Ling Ai has some origins." ”
Zhao Yong was more convinced of the old monk in his heart, and said, "Don't hide it from the master, before giving birth to my little girl, Neiko had a dream, saying that she dreamed that the hibiscus flowers in the pond were in full bloom, which was extremely beautiful. After the birth of a partial girl, she was born with a flower-like birthmark. ”
The old monk said softly, "Fate gives birth to evil, and it is just cause and effect in the world." ”
"What's the solution?"
"It's all on the donor."
Zhao Yong was slightly surprised, "What do you say?" Zhao Yong thought that there was something between the younger daughter and the eldest daughter, but he didn't expect it to be on himself!
"Within a year, the donor will never see the face of the woman, and the cause and effect will be self-explanatory."
Zhao Yong hesitated, "My little girl?" I can't see her? ”
The old monk nodded, "I will give the donor another spiritual talisman, and burn it at the door of the house at noon after returning home, and within a year, you will not be allowed to let the woman go out, and you will not see a man with a foreign surname." ”
Zhao Yong hurriedly responded, and asked, "Is this okay?" ”
The old monk smiled slightly.
Zhao Yong was a little relieved, and said, "Master, there is one more thing to ask for, my son and daughter do not have a name yet, I want to ask the master to give a name, and also get a touch of the blessings of the Buddhist family." ”
"The blessings of Buddhism depend entirely on one's own practice." The old monk smiled, but did not refuse Zhao Yong, but asked Zhao Changqing first, "I don't know who named the little benefactor?" ”
Zhao Yong said, "I originally invited the blind half-immortal in the west of the city to calculate." Changqing, Qing, originally meant to be the secretary of state and the prime minister, and it was used by her, and it also meant wishing her more blessings and longevity. ”
The old monk was particularly appreciative, "The name of the little donor is excellent, Changqing, Qing is green, evergreen." Looking at the face of the little donor, it is like a twin tree, one withered and one prosperous. If the old man sees nothing wrong, the little donor should have a brother who is a dragon and phoenix, but this son has nothing to do with your mansion. ”
Zhao Yong was greatly admired, and felt that he had met a living Bodhisattva, and he couldn't care about Zhao Changqing's thoughts, so he told him frankly, "Yes, Changqing had a dragon and phoenix fetal brother, but the child was weak in the womb and died in less than half an hour. My daughter was born smart and sensible, and now she is literate and literate, and she does not hide from the master, and I am fortunate to have the honor to meet the master, thanks to Changqing's persuasion. ”
Zhao Changqing was speechless, her father really didn't know how to be modest, and she praised her daughter like this in front of outsiders, she wanted to blush for her father.
The old monk's eyes were gentle, "Since the donor wants to ask for a name for Lingzi, well, according to the old man, the word 'Ning' is very good." ”
"There is Ding under the family, called Zhining. There is also the meaning of peace and tranquility, peace and auspiciousness, this word is good. The old monk said, "The word 'long' in the name of the little donor has the meaning of extending and longing, so it is called Changning." ”
Zhao Yong thanked him happily, and the old monk said, "As for the name of Ling Ai, since God has given him his name, the old man will not say more." ”
Zhao Yong was a little puzzled and asked, "Master, where is the name given by God?" ”
"What does the little donor say?"
Zhao Changqing didn't push, and said to her father, "Dad, my mother dreamed that a pool of hibiscus flowers bloomed just right, this is Tianzhao." In this case, it is better for my sister to be named Zhao Rong. ”
Zhao Rong, this is a girl's name, Zhao Yong saw that the master had no other intentions, so he responded with a smile, and felt that his daughter Lingxiu was even faster. It seems that I really brought my daughter here today.
Zhao Yong said with a smile, "Thank you for your guidance today." "Pinch the two taels of silver in the sleeve, but how can you send it out?
The old monk smiled, "I ask three times a day, and the donor has two questions today, since the little donor is also here, if the little donor has any doubts, you can also ask the old man." ”
Zhao Changqing shook his head, "The master just said that the blessings of the Buddhist family are all in their own cultivation, so I don't have anything to ask." ”
The old monk smiled, "The donor is really a wise person. ”
Zhao Changqing smiled, "I just remember the master's words." ”
"The benevolent see the benevolent, the wise see the wise, the sex arises with the thought, and the cause and fate are born." The old monk said a Buddha name, and the father and daughter said goodbye with interest.
Zhao Yong thought about putting two taels of silver in the incense box, and as soon as he came out of the old monk's monastery, Zhao Changqing met an acquaintance.
Chu Yu greeted with sharp eyes and said with a smile, "Yo, Sister Qing, what a coincidence, you also come to burn incense?" ”
Due to his position, Zhao Yong did not recognize the Chu family. General Chu had inspected the army, but Zhao Yong was in a low position, and he didn't dare to look up at the majestic general, so he didn't recognize it at a glance, and only thought it was a friend whose daughter had met.
Chu Yue winked at Zhao Changqing with a smile and asked his mother, "Mother, do you remember Changqing?" ”
Mrs. Chu smiled, "Remember." ”
Zhao Changqing hurriedly introduced to his father, "Dad, this is Uncle Chu, Uncle Chu, Aunt Chu, Brother Chu, Sister Chu." Because he was outside, Zhao Changqing saw that the Chu family was just an ordinary trip, so he did not reveal the identity of the Chu family. Saying that, Zhao Changqing was blessed with a good appearance, "I came to ask the master with my father about something, is Sister Chu also here to tell the fortune?" ”
Zhao Yong saw that this family was extraordinary, and hugged his fists, "The master of Xishan Temple has profound Buddhism, and what he said is very effective. ”
Chu Yu and Chu Yue looked at each other and smiled, both saluted Zhao Yong, Chu Yu smiled, "We have long heard of the reputation of Master Xingku, but there are too many people in line, I don't know when to queue?" ”
Zhao Yong smiled, "You don't have to look for a master of suffering." Enthusiastically pointed to the old monk's Zen monastery, "The master that my little girl and I asked for advice." ”
Chu Yue glanced at the empty Zen courtyard and said, "The Zen courtyard of the master of Xing Bitter is like a city, and the Zen courtyard of this unknown master is so deserted. ”
Zhao Yongsheng has a good temper, especially when he just got a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, he has a little love for the brothers and sisters of Chu Yu and Chu Yue. What's more, because he was used to listening to Zhao Changqing's high-minded talk at home, he didn't despise Chu Yue because he was a girl, but said with a smile, "I also said this before, but the little girl reminded me that this master Zen Academy is still above the master of suffering, and it can be seen that he is not a nameless." I took the little girl in to ask and listened to a few words from the master, as if I had been empowered. The master had been practicing since ten years ago, and now he has just come out of the customs and is getting a clever word. If Brother Chu is interested, you might as well give it a try. ”
General Chu saw that Zhao Yong was frank and straightforward, and he also smiled, "Okay, thank you for mentioning it." ”
Zhao Yong no longer delayed the time of the Chu family, took Zhao Changqing to resign from the Chu family, went to the incense box in the main hall to donate all the silver taels on his body, and went home with his daughter.
Sitting in the car, Zhao Yongfang asked, "Girl, is this a friend you know?" ”
Zhao Changqing was amused, "Why doesn't Daddy recognize General Chu?" ”
"General Chu?" Zhao Yong trembled and exclaimed, "That's General Chu!" ”
"yes." Zhao Changqing looked innocent and said, "Didn't I go to eat Sister Chu's birthday wine?" Daddy knows everything! Didn't Daddy recognize General Chu? I saw my father talking eloquently, not to mention how stylish, and I thought that my father deliberately showed it to General Chu. ”
Zhao Yong was helpless, "Your father is just a general flag, where do you recognize the general?" ”
Zhao Changqing smiled and comforted, "Then Daddy doesn't have to worry, the Chu family is convinced, where is he willing to be called out of his identity?" Besides, Daddy wasn't rude, and Daddy behaved and talked very well. ”
"Really?" At first glance, when he saw the general, Zhao Yong was rarely unconfident.
Zhao Changqing smiled, "Can I still lie to my father?" Daddy is not humble, frank and sincere, he is really a man. ”
Zhao Yong smiled, rubbed Zhao Changqing's bag, and smiled, "You girl...... Actually, I don't think it's rude. "He doesn't want to touch the general or anything, as long as he doesn't be rude.
Zhao Yong is not a person with any ambitions, and now that he has both children and daughters, Zhao Yong only feels that this little day is getting more and more enjoyable.
