Chapter 16 Xiao'e instigated trouble 2
Yuji Temple is built by Jin people to thank Dayu. In that year, Dayu controlled the water and the mountains, so that the people of Li were saved from a flood. The people in the city of Yuezhou naturally also received its favor. Therefore, the incense of Yuji Temple continues to this day. Moreover, now that it is wartime, many people do not believe in the country and people, but believe in the sky, and even those who do not burn incense in ordinary times have begun to hold the Buddha's feet. In this way, the pilgrims of Yuji Temple are increasing day by day.
Mrs. Tang and Qian Xiao'e entered Yuji Temple and worshiped Bodhisattvas from all walks of life along the way. Mrs. Tang prayed devoutly, praying that the Buddha would bless Tang Wan with smooth affairs, and when she was able to enter the hall, she let the accompanying maids hold a lot of incense money, and she bowed three times in front of the tall Maitreya Buddha statue. Qian Xiao'e has been following her from beginning to end, and at this time she also pretended to bow a few times on the mat next to her, muttering in her heart that she must get the identity of a royal relative. It's also interesting to say, this old and young are all members of the Tang family, and the incense money from the family is naturally a matter of blessing the family, so will the Buddha fulfill Qian Xiao'e's wish today? Or did it fulfill Mrs. Tang's wish?
It is also this Qian Xiao'e who is lucky, the monk who explained the scriptures to the pilgrims on the side of the lobby today is none other than the one who came to the Tang Mansion that day. As soon as Qian Xiao'e saw that it was him, she was secretly happy, it really didn't take any effort to get it.
Qian Xiao'e followed Mrs. Tang to worship the Bodhisattva in the hall, and came to ask the monk.
Qian Xiao'e asked, "Master, do you remember me?" ”
The monk looked at it for a while, and then saluted back, "It's the female benefactor of the Tang Mansion, of course the poor monk remembers." "I don't know if this monk really remembered Qian Xiao'e, or remembered the incense money given by Qian Xiao'e.
Qian Xiao'e smiled and explained to Mrs. Tang. Mrs. Tang looked at the monk in front of her, although she was not a high-ranking monk, but judging from the clothing and decoration, her ranking in this temple was not low, and she should not be a person who opened her mouth, so she asked truthfully, "Master, listen to my son, you saw my little daughter that day, look at her face, and you will be a rich and noble person in the future." Can you say that? ”
The monk saluted the old lady in return and said, "Donor, the poor monk did say this that day. Born from the heart, born from fate. Poor monks and Buddhas get married, practice under the door, see people and things, and are a little more than ordinary people. The female benefactor I saw that day had a really unusual appearance. The poor monk was rude and blunt. In the perception of ordinary people, the monk's words must be good words, who doesn't look forward to a noble person in their own family, that is a matter of glory to the ancestors! The monk thought that what he said would be in Mrs. Tang's arms, but unexpectedly, he saw that her face was getting whiter and whiter, and her expression was extremely uneasy.
The monk asked again, "Donor, what's wrong with you?" Please forgive the poor monk for saying too much, and contradicting the donor, please forgive me. ”
Mrs. Tang sighed, "Hey, it's not you who contradict me, it's God who plays tricks on me." ”
The monk didn't know what he meant, and asked, "Donor, what does this mean?" ”
Mrs. Tang was confirmed by the monk that she had no intention of staying for a long time, Qian Xiao'e hurriedly helped her out of the lobby, it seems that the Buddha still followed Qian Xiao'e's wish today. Qian Xiao'e walked out with her wife in her arms, and she was secretly proud in her heart, it seemed that the position of a royal relative was within reach. Mrs. Tang sighed secretly as she walked, why was she so religious, but the Buddha still didn't respond, because she didn't give enough money for incense? Is the fasting given yesterday not good enough? Or is the virtue accumulated by the Tang Mansion not enough? After all, Mrs. Tang only has a woman's opinion, and when she encounters such a thing, she can only think about it like this.
Out of the gate of Yuji Temple, Qian Xiao'e was in a very good mood, and suddenly asked, "Mother, there is Shen Garden in front, do you want to go there to see, I heard that the garden has opened recently, and the scenery is very beautiful." Let's go for a break. ”
Mrs. Tang was in such a mood, shook her head and said, "What are you distracting, let's talk about it another day." Let's get home. ”
The lower Mrs. Tang is, the happier Qian Xiao'e becomes, and now she only needs to blow a little wind in the old lady's ears, and the matter of royal relatives will be just around the corner, so she asked, "Mother, are you worried about Huixian, according to Xiao'e's humble opinion, I am afraid that this family matter cannot be rushed for a while." ”
Mrs. Tang said, "If you don't do it for her, who else can you do it?" Your father and the Lu family have a great relationship, and they were originally happy relatives of the two families, but now they are making people anxious, what should I do? ”
Qian Xiao'e hurriedly said, "Mother, the most important thing in front of me is to retire this family business." ”
Mrs. Tang waved her hand again and again when she heard this. Withdrawn? How easy is this to say? The old man of the Tang family is such a person who pays attention to etiquette, how can he tolerate such a thing as resignation. Moreover, the relationship between the Lu family and the Tang family is not ordinary, if they suddenly propose to withdraw from their relatives, then they will not tear their faces and disrecognize each other in the future!
Qian Xiao'e knew that Mrs. Tang was uncertain, so she continued, "Mother, Hui Xian just performed the hairpin ceremony, and took advantage of the six wedding ceremonies now to make a salute and retired early." If not, I am afraid of long nights and dreams. ”
The phrase "long nights and dreams" made the old lady's heart tremble, and she replied in a promising voice, "Well, I want to talk to the master about this." ”
So the two of them hurriedly got into the carriage and hurried back. When Mrs. Tang returned to the mansion, she saw Steward Ding who was about to go out to run errands, so she asked, "Where is the old man?" ”
Steward Ding replied, "The old man and the young master are taking care of the ancestral hall, so send me out to buy something at this time." ”
Mrs. Tang said, "Okay, you can go." After speaking, he turned around and muttered a few words to the maid beside her, asking her to hurry up and pass a message, and ask the master to come over as much as possible, and he went back to the room after explaining to Qian Xiao'e.
Mrs. Tang paced back and forth in the room with broken steps, and looked back anxiously at the door several times, but there was no trace of the person she was looking forward to. Finally, the old man of the Tang family walked in head-on, and Mrs. Tang hurriedly greeted him and said, "Master, you are here."
Master Tang didn't know what was going on, and asked with concern, "Madam, what's the matter?" Call me over in such a hurry? ”
Mrs. Tang asked, "Master." How is your friendship with the Lu family? ”
Master Tang looked at Madame, inexplicable, "Why did Madame suddenly ask about this?" ”
Mrs. Tang said, "You just have to answer me." ”
Master Tang replied, "That Mrs. Lu's brother Tang Yi to me, not only has the grace of knowing and meeting, but also knows and makes friends like Bao Yangzuo, the depth of friendship is needless to say, and it is not an exaggeration for Mrs. to say that she is as close as a sibling." ”
Mrs. Tang said again, "Okay." What is the position of the little girl Tang Wan in your heart? ”
Master Tang was very surprised, what did Madame mean by this, "Why did Madame ask me some strange questions today?" ”
Mrs. Tang said urgently, "Master, I only need you to say a word, and you can sue me." ”
Master Tang replied, "I have only this one daughter under my knees, there is a yellow incense fan mosquito Wen Xi in ancient times, Wang Xiang lies on the ice and begs for carp, my family Hui Xian follows filial piety, and the two of them are generally good, they are the meat of their hearts, and they are priceless." ”
Mrs. Tang was very relieved to hear this, and her face showed joy, but this joy was fleeting, "If you want to choose between heart and brotherhood now, how do you decide?" ”
