Chapter 16: Miracles

This famous temple donated by countless good men and women, even though it is not the main hall, but more than 20 zhang wide and ten zhang deep, several people hug the thickness of the two sides of the temple pillars, all show the momentum.

The pillars separated the east and west, and nearly four hundred futons were laid on the dark and shiny masonry floor, and nearly half of them were already seated at this time, with the male guests on the left and the female dependents on the right, in an orderly manner.

In the relationship between Qin and Thirteen, Liu Liulang was able to sit in a good position, and his eyes were open-minded, and he could clearly see all the rituals of Zen tea, and he could also see the people in other positions in the hall.

The ladies of the Chen family over there had already sat down together, because they hadn't started yet, and they all whispered and laughed with the acquaintances beside them.

There were two vacant seats on the left and right of Mrs. Chen, but soon after, someone came from outside the hall and sat down with some joy and apprehension, and there was no woman among them.

Saturday Lang frowned.

In the low noise of the buzz, the sound of ritual music and chanting sounded outside, accompanied by a series of footsteps, indicating that the Zen tea party was about to begin, and the hall was quiet.

At this point, no one is allowed to come in.

Liuliulang's hand on his lap let go, and there was a little disappointment between his eyebrows.

Come and don't come, what do you do? Can't this woman live in peace for a moment?

A handful of petals fluttered and fell into the pond, and the fish competing for food immediately rushed in, but soon they knew that they had been deceived and dispersed.

Chen Danniang giggled, and the servant girl on the side guarded carefully, lest she be unable to grasp the jade railing.

"I'll come, I'll come." Jin Ge'er pinched a few pieces of fish food that had been bought in advance and threw them in.

"Look at this, it's said to be a fish released by His Majesty." The maidservant pointed to the fish and said.

The pond is full of fish and dazzling. Banqin's eyes widened and he couldn't see the difference between one and the other.

"Sister Cheng."

Chen Danniang ran from the pool to Cheng Jianniang.

Cheng Jianniang intervened and stood up, looking at a pool of water.

"Are you upset?" Chen Danniang hesitated and asked.

Cheng Jianniang shook her head.

"Nope. Why do you ask? She asked.

"Mother said that you are very pitiful because you are disliked by your relatives..."Chen Danniang said.

The servant woman behind her glared in fright. Hurry forward.

"Nineteen ladies, don't be joking, madam, madam, madam, didn't say so." She said.

The mother obviously said it, but the servant didn't let her say it, although she was young, Chen Danniang also knew that she had said something she shouldn't have said.

"I, I mean Sister Cheng, don't be afraid, my mother and I like you. They don't want you, we want you, and you don't feel sorry. She hurriedly replied.

It is better not to say this, and the servant woman is even more worried.

Talking about people behind their backs, it's good or bad, it doesn't matter, it's just that this mercy is the most difficult to grasp, and if it is light, it is used as a talking point, and if it is heavy, it is high, especially this kind of woman. The heart is more sensitive than ordinary people, and the surface is numb. But I care very much about what others talk about behind my back.

This woman behaves perversely, but she is the most important person in the family, and it would not be bad if the words collided with her.

I said a long time ago that I can't let Danniang always be with her, Tong Yan is unscrupulous in the end.

A layer of sweat broke out of the servant's back, and she was about to think tactfully, when Cheng Jianniang had already reached out to hold Chen Danniang.

"I'm not afraid." She said, "It's not that they don't want me, it's okay." ”

Chen Danniang took her hand and nodded.

"Then, don't be sad, my mother said that only people who understand everything are the saddest." She continued.

The servant woman who had just breathed a sigh of relief almost fainted again.

"I'm not sad either." Cheng Jianniang smiled and said, "It's because I understand, so I don't feel sad, there's nothing to be sad about." ”

She turned around and pulled Chen Danniang to take a step.

Walking a road by the pond is a Buddha hall with a ten-zhang corridor.

"I've been stupid, it's a fact, it's human nature to be disgusted." She said, "Others are good to you, it's lucky, others dislike and avoid it, it's not strange, how can everyone like you in this world, but if someone doesn't like you, you should be resentful?" ”

Chen Danniang looked up at her.

"My cousin doesn't like me, and when she goes back to my grandmother's house, she tells her that other sisters don't play with me, and I hate her." She pouted.

"If you hate her, will she play with you?" Cheng Jianniang asked.

"Nope." Chen Danniang sighed like a little adult.

"So, it's better to ignore it, it's better to have fun with people who like you." Cheng Jianniang said, "Unless she bullies you." ”

Chen Danniang looked up at her.

"What about bullying me?" She asked, with bright eyes.

Cheng Jianniang looked down at her and smiled slightly.

"I don't know what to do." "Because I'm not you." ”

Chen Danniang tilted her head.

"What if someone else bullies you? What do you do? She asked.

Cheng Jianniang smiled again.

"It depends on what they want to do." She said.

Chen Danniang grabbed the gold collar in front of her, looking confused.

When they said this, they had already walked to the back door of this side hall, and Cheng Jianniang stopped and looked at the plaque.

"This is the Great Ci Temple, dedicated to Guanyin." The handmaid said later.

"Let's go see the Dragon Maiden." Chen Danniang said, throwing away the incomprehensible words, happily stepped into the hall first, and turned back to Cheng Jianniang and said, "...... There are also Guanyin Niangniang all over the wall, all of them are beautiful..."

"It's the thirty-two Yinghua diagram of Guanyin." The maidservant whispered behind her.

Cheng Jianniang stepped in.

The maidservant waved at Banqin and Jin Ge'er, who came over.

"You guys play with yourselves, lady has me here." She said, "After a while, we spread a blanket by the pool, and set up the snacks we brought, and there is well water in this courtyard, and you can burn it on a tandoor stove for the lady to eat." ”

Jin Ge'er and Banqin responded without the slightest dissatisfaction with her assignment and turned away.

In the Zen tea hall, the sound of Buddhist music, chanting and chanting.

Everyone watched as the zazen meditation in the middle ended, and the great Zen master began to cleanse the world with holy water.

It had been nearly half an hour since the ceremony began, and Liuliulang was a little restless, and he couldn't help but look out occasionally. Until Qin Shisan poked him with his hand.

What are you doing?

Qin Shisan asked him with his eyes.

It's nothing.

Saturday Lang glared back at him with a look in his eyes.

Qin Shisan's eyes saw through him. Saturday Lang looked away, but he didn't see it.

He watched the old monk in the hall move with a single glance. But what I thought in my heart was that since Cheng Jianniang came, she must have not left in the temple yet, otherwise she would not have come.

Otherwise, what happened all of a sudden, so I left? What could she do?

What would be in such a hurry?

is arrogant and eccentric, and she always causes trouble for others, who can do anything to her?

Saturday Lang has mixed feelings.

But who in this world is born weird?

He thought of his aunt, the woman who sat on the mat and smiled softly at him.

“… Zijian. Auntie has honey to eat here, come on. She held out her hand and said.

Mother said that there was a fool in my aunt's house, and if she went in, she would become a fool.

"I don't eat fools," he shouted, turning around and running away.

No one shouted and scolded behind him, and he looked back apprehensively, and the woman sitting in the hall just looked at him and still smiled softly.

His aunt looked very similar to his grandmother, he slept with his grandmother when he was a child, and his grandmother would wash his feet at night, and pinch his toes and recite a little song when he washed his feet.

Big thumb brother is short, two thumb brother is long...

Then he laughed and his grandmother laughed too. But the days were short, and soon he never saw his grandmother smile again. I always saw her crying, crying and sighing, and then she lost weight quickly, more like her aunt.

My father said that my grandmother's father played a good gun, and when my grandmother first got married, she used to fight with my grandfather in the school field, and my grandfather was a little overwhelmed.

My grandmother could ride a horse and brush a gun, and she was so good at training that she should have lived a long life.

But my aunt died, so she didn't leave the medicine every day, and after a few years, she also went.

Father and mother said that if it weren't for that fool, my aunt and grandmother would be living a good life now.

It's all because of that idiot.

Why are their Zhou family so unlucky to raise a fool?

Is it really the retribution of those idlers who privately say that their ancestors killed and tortured too much?

Saturday's hand clenched, his teeth creaking.

This time, it was not only Qin Shisan, but there were people staring at him on the left and right.

Saturday sat down.

But how can I blame that fool?

Who wants to be a fool...

Who wants to be a fool themselves....

So she was wary of not believing in their relatives, but what could she do?

Even if they do it all over again, they will do it again, and alienation is inevitable.

The past can no longer be changed, only forward.

Qin Shisan said that she had to be sincere, but was she willing to see his sincerity?

Besides, what can we do to be sincere?

There was a commotion in the main hall, it turned out that it was Zen Master Minghai who ordered water to scatter blessings, and the people present bowed their heads and saluted.

Saturday Lang also leaned over.

"At the beginning, Emperor Wu gave the title of Master of Zhenji, and he was dressed in purple clothes, just for the benefit of this Guanyin Temple."

The chamberlain said, pointing to the temple door.

The king of Jin'an looked up, his expression was casual, and he was a little excited.

"I'd like to eat a bowl of noodles now." He said, "What are these earth and stone puppets to look at?" ”

The waiter looked flustered and waved his hand hurriedly.

"Don't be disrespectful, don't be disrespectful." He whispered, clasping his hands together and muttering Buddha.

The king of Jin'an County looked funny.

"If this earth and stone puppet is really effective, then my wish will come true." He smiled and walked over, walked up the steps, crossed the high threshold, and entered the hall, the first thing that came into view was the tall statue of Guanyin, decorated with golden brilliance, his eyes flowed, but there was a sound in his ears.

It was a woman's voice, and the king of Jin'an subconsciously looked over and saw a woman standing on the left side of the Guanyin statue.

The woman was dressed in a blue shirt with simple sideburns, and she also looked over because someone suddenly came in.

Her face was as white as jade, her eyes were blazing, and her body was as wooden as her expression, without sorrow or joy.

The king of Jin'an County stopped breathing for a moment, his eyes widened, and he reached out in disbelief to grasp the jade pendant hanging from his waist.

My God, Bodhisattva, has really worked!
