Chapter Eighty-Three: How Can We Be Sincere?

Well, the three girls of Zongzheng who are not sick are invited to chant and pray for blessings, the eldest princess of Kunshan and Princess Sun, who is also eager to find the whereabouts of the old prince, invited the abbot Zhiming, the presiding officer of Guangen Temple, who is known as the famous Guangen Temple in Yuchuan Mansion.

This time, Princess Sun and the eldest princess of Kunshan made a pair of good soulmates. The most important thing is that the gangsters came to the arrow book to ask for a golden ticket, and the eldest princess of Kunshan borrowed a full 10,000 gold from Princess Sun, which is 100,000 taels when converted into silver, which is not a small amount. Since they are not only related to each other, but also have a debt relationship, they get along quite harmoniously.

The main courtyard of Muen Hall was urgently converted into a Buddhist hall, and the eldest princess of Kunshan and Princess Sun both knelt on the futon and muttered sutras. A prayer for the safe return of her beloved daughter is to ask her to empty the treasury, and she is willing; A prayer that the old prince can return home as soon as possible, no matter what happens, he must hold on until her son is established as the son!

The reason why Princess Sun is willing to lend up to 10,000 taels of golden tickets is not without the idea of taking the road of the eldest princess of Kunshan, who has always won the favor of the queen mother and the emperor, once the old prince is unreliable. So she borrowed her money very happily.

At two o'clock, Abbot Zhiming finally came late. The old monk's snow-white beard reached to his chest, but his long eyebrows were still as black and shiny as ink. He slowly stepped onto the threshold and whispered a Buddha horn, waking up the two nobles who had fallen asleep with their eyes closed and not knowing whether they were chanting sutras.

The eldest princess of Kunshan didn't recognize Abbot Zhiming, but Princess Sun was no stranger to him. Before she left the cabinet, she often accompanied her grandmother and mother to Guang'en Temple to make incense, and often saw Abbot Zhiming. Not long ago, the reason why she was able to meet Venerable Su Hui was also said to be because Abbot Zhiming used his strength to make it happen.

Princess Sun hurriedly went down, and her attitude was many times more respectful than in the past. Abbot Zhiming turned sideways to avoid it, and announced another Buddha name, and the old man's voice was full of kindness: "Amitabha, Her Royal Highness the princess is really tormenting the old man, and the old man does not dare to accept this gift." ”

Seeing this, the eldest princess of Kunshan did not care about how noble her identity was, and how close and friendly she was with the Taoist masters in the capital, and she was also blessed. Hurriedly said: "It's really hard to worry about the master Fa driving in person, and I really don't want to be sorry for myself, and I ask the master not to be surprised." ”

She really wanted to go to Guang'en Temple to pray in person, but who knows if that villain will appear again and take her captive? If she is taken into captivity. It is possible to meet their beloved daughter, but who will do their best to save their mother and daughter? When the Empress Dowager and the Emperor in Beijing find out about this, I am afraid that the bodies of her mother and daughter will be decomposed.

Abbot Zhiming also avoided the salute of the eldest princess of Kunshan, and clasped his palms together and said: "The monks are merciful, and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has a call." The old man has come from now. He said to Princess Sun again, "Princess Niangniang, before Uncle Su Hui left Tianxingguo, he used to be in a small temple. She left a letter at her old man's house, stating that if the princess's fate is not finished, she will hand it over to you. With that, he took out a white-skinned letter from the sleeve of his wide robe and handed it to Princess Sun with both hands.

Princess Sun was startled, and then her heart jumped wildly. She hurriedly took the letter with both hands. But he was a little scared, so he didn't dare to open it, and only looked at Abbot Zhiming and said, "Can the master tell me, what else did the Venerable say?" ”

Abbot Zhiming smiled slightly, curled his beard and said, "Other than that, Uncle Shi has nothing else to say." Although the old man did not dare to speak, but he had the courage to guess, if you and the Buddha completely cut off the love of that incense, this letter would not reach you. ”

"Yes, this concubine now respects the Buddha sincerely. Don't dare to think about it again. Princess Sun was a little ashamed, her face was slightly red, she lowered her head and opened the envelope, and pulled out a piece of paper from it. But there wasn't a word on it. He painted only a simple picture - there were rocks by the water, and large trees grew beside them, and the trunks of the trees were struck by lightning, and sparks were splashed wildly.

Princess Sun was dumbfounded, shaking the painting, and asked Master Zhiming: "This, this, this." Master, Venerable what does this mean? Could it be that you are playing a pantomime? The eldest princess of Kunshan on the side also leaned over and shook her head again and again to show that she didn't understand.

Abbot Zhiming took the painting in his hand, and after a little groaning, he smiled and said: "Two highnesses, you see, water is for water, rocks are for earth, trees are for wood, and sparks are for fire. This five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth is just one gold short. Seeing that the two highnesses were still looking at him and waiting for explanation, he could only continue, "Since there is a shortage of gold, it is natural to look for gold." ”

Princess Sun hesitated: "Does His Holiness mean to make a relationship with this concubine?" Turn some golden tickets to renew the Buddha's relationship? She subconsciously glanced at the eldest princess of Kunshan, if she also wanted a golden ticket to worship the Venerable, she was afraid that she would have to take out the deed that the old prince gave her privately to change.

The eldest princess of Kunshan thought that Princess Sun wanted to ask herself to return the golden ticket, so she looked down at the other party's lower abdomen, with a cold light in her eyes. Abbot Zhiming kept smiling and watching the two highnesses fight the lawsuit, and then said slowly: "Princess Niangniang, I'm afraid you have misunderstood, aren't you looking for the prince of Yuyan County everywhere now?" Uncle Su Hui is pointing out a clear path for you to find the place with the most gold. ”

"Money? Casino? Princess Sun's eyes suddenly lit up, and she shouted, "Gold mine! "After the old prince went to Fanyuyan Mansion, he pulled two gold mines that were said to have hidden the Great Gold Mountain into his purse. Could it be that the old prince was too idle to do and went to the gold mine to play?

But she remembered the bloody letter with "help" written on it, and immediately overturned this idea - no, no, the old prince was also tied up by gangsters! Maybe it was the same as the gangster who kidnapped the two princesses, and the reason why the gangster didn't come to the arrow book to blackmail was because the old prince himself could come up with a lot of money!

Princess Sun was immediately anxious. She had already thought about the two gold mines, and she must get them from the old prince, so that she could save some wife books for the children in her womb. Look at the sons and young masters in the palace, all staring at these cornucopias, their eyes are all red, like hungry wolves. She doesn't plan for the child as soon as possible, and when the old prince kicks his leg in the future, who will she and her mother cry to?!

"Abbot, Master, thank you so much! You've done me a great favor! Princess Sun rushed to the abbot of Zhiming several times, and she was so grateful that she didn't know what to say, and said, "The matter is urgent, and this concubine must arrange something to go down." In the coming day, the concubine will definitely go to Guang'en Temple and add a lot of sesame oil in front of the Buddha! ”

Abbot Zhiming sighed angrily: "Princess Niangniang, save people's lives, and win the seventh-level floating slaughter." If it is really Uncle Su Hui who shows you the way out, you should hurry up and find the prince! As for helping, Lao Wei is really ashamed, the person you want to thank is Uncle Su Hui! ”

Princess Sun nodded heavily, hurriedly said goodbye to the eldest princess of Kunshan, and left Muenyuan with the hand of the maid. Hurried to his mother's house to ask for help.

The eldest princess of Kunshan simply watched Princess Sun leave with envious eyes, and said to Abbot Zhiming: "Master, I don't know if the master can help the palace to ask for Venerable Su Hui, and also ask her old man to show mercy." Show the way to Hongu? ”

Abbot Zhiming looked regretful, shook his head and said, "Your Highness doesn't know that the painting that Uncle Su Hui left to Princess Sun was left by her before she left. With her uncle's footsteps, she may have returned to the Buddha country now. Even if the eldest princess sent a letter. This time back and forth, maybe Her Royal Highness Princess Yicheng has returned safely. ”

The eldest princess of Kunshan was sad, tears involuntarily flowed down again, and she said listlessly: "Then forget it." It is also unfortunate that the three girls of the Zongzheng family have not recovered from their illnesses, and it is really not appropriate to pray to the Buddha for blessings. Abbot, you say, is this what the Buddha is alluding to? Is it a child of this palace...... Can't come back? ”

Abbot Zhiming clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name. He said with relief: "Your Highness, don't think nonsense! As long as you serve the Buddha with sincerity, the Buddha will definitely feel it, and he will definitely send down mercy and bless Her Royal Highness Princess Yicheng to come back safely. ”

With two wry smiles, the eldest princess of Kunshan nodded and sighed: "I hope so." Then he suddenly asked, "Master, isn't there a Taoist temple in Yuchuan Mansion?" As soon as she said that, she immediately reacted and asked the wrong person, but she didn't care.

Abbot Zhiming was still so amiable, and replied to the eldest princess of Kunshan seriously: "Naturally, there is." The cloud view and flying black view of this house are very famous. ”

The eldest princess of Kunshan responded indiscriminately, and pointed to the matter of arranging for the abbot of Zhiming to pray for blessings. Abbot Zhiming attached great importance to this Buddhist event, and not only presided over it personally, but also brought one hundred and eight monks from Guang'en Temple. The masters and the little masters were all dressed in brand new robes. Wearing a full set of ritual weapons, he calmly prepared for a puja meeting.

Soon, the Moon Garden was filled with the sound of Sanskrit singing, smoke, and the sound of tuk-tuk wooden fish. Until the end of the day, the outside of the garden was pitch black, and the garden was brightly lit. The puja has only been going on for a short time.

The eldest princess of Kunshan has not rested well for several days, and at this time she knelt in front of the Buddha and prayed, and unconsciously fell asleep like this. The civil servant beside her just wanted to pick her up, but she didn't want to be suddenly, the sound of the Sanskrit singing stopped, the sound of the wooden fish was gone, and the eldest princess of Kunshan suddenly woke up from the haze. She was still dazed, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Abbot Zhiming standing up, and he opened his mouth to say something, and then withdrew from the courtyard where the puja was held with the monks.

"That's the end of prayer?" The eldest princess of Kunshan yawned twice, relieved.

The female official's face was ugly, and she whispered: "I'm afraid not, Master Zhiming said that you are very tired, and the blessing will end here, don't chant the scriptures, and don't pray anymore." ”

The eldest princess of Kunshan didn't understand the true meaning of Abbot Zhiming, so she waved her hand weakly and said, "Forget it today, let's continue tomorrow." Go and arrange for them to stay, keep an eye on them, and don't let them wander around. ”

"Your Highness," the lady gritted her teeth, and finally said, "I'm afraid Abbot Zhiming won't come to pray again." I have always done it, but I don't do it halfway. Some families do even three days of puja without stopping. The slave listened to his meaning and faintly accused you of not serving the Buddha sincerely. ”

"What? So bold! The eldest princess of Kunshan was furious, and was just about to send someone to arrest Zhiming and other monks back, but she remembered in time that she was not in the declining Tianxingjing of Buddhism, so she could only grit her teeth and say hatefully, "Wait for the Huan'er of the palace to come back, and see how the palace concocts these bald and donkey!" You personally catch up and ask, what is the bottom of sincerity?! ”

The female official could only be ordered to chase people, but those monks were amazingly fast, and she was a woman, so she couldn't catch up with them in a carriage. She didn't dare to go back like this, so she had to chase all the way to Guang'en Temple. But she didn't get to see Abbot Zhiming, and Master Zhixiao, the first of the Zhike Academy of Guang'en Temple, received her.

But all the great monks who can make it the first seat of the Zhike Temple are the most proficient people in the temple who are proficient in communicating with pilgrims. Although the female official was respectfully received by Master Zhixiao, she was sent out of Guang'en Temple in a daze after a conversation covered by clouds and mountains.

Standing in front of the temple, the cold mountain wind blew, even if it was already summer, she felt cool all over. Master Zhixiao didn't say anything at all, and only said that serving the Buddha was sincere. How sincere it is, it depends on the believers themselves! The rich offer more, and the Buddha will not be too much; The poor are rarely worshipped, and the Buddha also pities their sincerity, which is not too little. All in all, what a sincere way - I want to go!

Knowing such a reply, the eldest princess of Kunshan must not be satisfied, and she herself will definitely be angered by His Highness, who has been in an extremely bad mood during this time. After thinking about it, she returned to Mu'en Garden and said: "It's better for His Highness to give some incense money to reshape the big and small Buddha statues of Guang'en Temple into golden bodies." This kind of sincerity is sufficient wherever it is placed. ”

The eldest princess of Kunshan frowned and said, "If it's okay in Jingli or Yanlin County, how can there be so much money now?" The main palace also has to guard against the gangster lion who captives the people. For a while, he was so hateful that he slapped his back to the pillow, "How could it be that Taicheng came back first!?" When the palace opened the account deposit ticket in the world, it was clear that he must put Huan'er back first! ”

"The safety of His Royal Highness Yicheng, according to the slave maid, there should be no need to worry. The villain only wants money. As for where the money came from," the lady showed a strange smile, "Your Highness, have you forgotten Princess Sun?" As far as the slave maid knows, the king of Yuyan County has been missing for a long time, and it is difficult to say whether he is dead or alive. But there is no prince in the county prince's mansion! ”

The eldest princess of Kunshan furrowed her beautiful eyebrows and hesitated: "There are some things you don't know, if Uncle Yuyan is really dead, things will be very easy to do." But if he is still alive, let's go to his house for the idea, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble! ”

The female official Wen said: "Whether the prince of the county is alive or dead, judging from the clear path pointed out by Venerable Su Hui today, he should be able to have eyebrows soon." When the time comes, Your Highness, you will have to make up your mind. This time, we have lost a lot, and the Queen Mother of Beijing is also going to have a thousand autumn festivals, and the birthday gift can not be sloppy. The silver money for the golden body of the Buddha statue, let's not get together for the time being, is it to turn over one or two to the prince first? Yan Ming is borrowing money, and he is not afraid of Princess Xin's annoyance. ”

After a long groan, the eldest princess of Kunshan finally nodded and ordered: "This palace really doesn't want to suffer from my sister-in-law's idleness, Ming'er, you go to the prince's mansion and ask my brother to borrow some silver." Hmph, don't say it's borrowed, just really ask my brother to take the silver, what about the surname Xin? It's just a succession, can it be compared with the first sister-in-law of the main palace? ”

bowed her head to the ground, and the female official responded respectfully, and the treacherous light flashed in her triangular eyes. After serving the eldest princess of Kunshan, she withdrew from Muen Hall, carefully avoided the guards on duty in the garden, and went to the Leisure Pavilion in a dodgy manner, and came out in a moment.
