Chapter 60: Marriage Signing (1)
Since you have come to the temple, how can you not burn incense and worship the Buddha?
The Xu family is the number one family in Jinling, and naturally it is also the big money owner of this Hanjing Temple. Early in the morning, Xu Dashao went to visit the abbot master of the temple.
I don't want to, this abbot monk is polite, I waited for breakfast and took the two little novices to the guest house.
I looked at the old monk in a simple cyan monk's robe, thin and short, not amazing, but if I looked closely, the old monk's eyebrows were full of compassion, and there was some peace hidden in his expression, which was very the shape of a monk.
As soon as the old monk saw me, he clasped his palms together and saluted, and I hurriedly returned the salute and said respectfully: "The master is polite." ”
I thought, since the old monk came in person, if I don't add some sesame oil money, it seems to damage my face, so I rummaged out a pearl the size of an apricot in my purse, and said: "The believer came in a hurry, and she didn't have time to prepare, if the master did not give up, the believer would use this small bead to show her sincerity to the Buddha." ”
My South Sea pearl has a uniform color, white and crystalline, but it is of the highest quality.
This old monk is also a well-informed person, and after reciting the Buddha, he ordered the little novice to accept it.
The old monk saluted the ninth senior brother again, and the ninth senior brother took out a silver ticket from his sleeve and shook it in front of the old monk, and the old monk accepted it with a smile.
Well, I saw that the amount of the silver ticket of Senior Brother Nine seems to be not small, and the old monk has gained a lot from this trip!
The old monk invited me to sit down, and preached a Dharma under the plane tree, and after a while, the ninth senior brother yawned for a while, and the old monk was also very knowledgeable, and looked at the ninth senior brother with a smile and said: "The Dharma is boundless, it is not a moment to penetrate, I wonder if you are interested in following the old man to the main hall to enter a stick of incense, ask for a signature?" ”
Xu Dashao said: "The sign of Hanjing Temple is very effective, many good men and women come to Jinling from hundreds of miles away, just to ask for a sign of Hanjing Temple, you have come to the temple, why not go and ask for a sign?" ”
Senior Brother Jiu was very excited when he heard this, so I was led by the old monk himself and went to the main hall.
We and other ordinary people have walked in this world for decades, but we have to taste all the ups and downs of life, but this Buddha, no matter whether all living beings are happy or sad, angry or happy, have been smiling and looking silently for thousands of years.
When I was still at home, every first day and fifteenth day of the new year, I would go up the mountain to incense, and I would very devoutly ask the Buddha to give me a good husband, but since that year I received the flying phoenix hairpin, I speculated that the Buddha and his old man were too busy to hear my little lady's prayers, and since then I have rarely set foot in the temple.
While I was in a daze, the old monk had ordered the little novice to hold the lottery.
Men seek a future, and women ask about marriage.
My marriage has been decided, so I don't ask much, but Danyang hid to the side early and looked up to the statue.
The future of the fifth senior brother, the ninth senior brother and Xu Dashao has been destined to be a splendid since the time of birth, and it is in vain to ask if I ask, I think that Senior Brother Xiaobai has to shake a lot and calculate the future.
Senior Brother Xiaobai shook his fan and asked me lightly: "Why don't you ask for a signature and ask about marriage?" ”
I said, "Fate is determined, and you can't force it." ”
Senior Brother Xiaobai chuckled, took the sticker, knelt on the futon in front of the Buddha statue, shook it gently, and popped out a bamboo stick.
He got up and glanced at me lightly, handed the bamboo stick to the old monk, and said, "I ask about marriage." ”
