Chapter 113: Guanyin's Birthday

"Grandmother, my granddaughter is about to come to greet you, why did you let Begonia come to me so early."

Walking into Mrs. Wu's room quickly, Wu Tianrou saw that her complexion was very good, so she put her mind at ease, and couldn't help but smile coquettishly and said.

"Rou'er is here, come and sit down."

After taking the medicine and drinking gardenia tea for a few days, Mrs. Wu's complexion improved a lot, and she didn't cough much.

"Grandmother, is there something wrong with calling your granddaughter over in such a hurry?"

Sitting on the embroidery pier next to the bed, Wu Tianrou held the hand that Mrs. Wu stretched out.

"Isn't this tomorrow's Guanyin's birthday, I thought about wanting to go to the temple to incense, but yesterday Dr. Chen gave me a pulse, saying that I should not go out recently, and I need to recuperate. I just thought, tomorrow I'll let you wait for me to go to the pillar incense. ”

patted Wu Tianrou's green little hand, and Mrs. Wu had a loving smile on her face.

"Okay, grandmother, don't worry, your granddaughter must hurry over and try to grab the first pillar incense!"

After listening to Mrs. Wu's words, Wu Tianrou remembered that tomorrow was Guanyin's birthday. According to Mrs. Wu's devotion to the Buddha, it is not indispensable to participate in this kind of Buddha's birthday.

"Hehe, it's good to put on the incense, the Buddha is sincere, and there is no need to force the incense on the head."

With a smile, Old Madam Wu gently waved her hand towards Wu Tianrou.

"By the way, I still have a hand-copied Guanyin Sutra, you bring it and worship Guanyin for me in front of the Buddha. Also, don't forget to bring a bundle of lettuce back! ”

"Grandmother, don't worry, my granddaughter saved it, and this lettuce will definitely be brought back."

After taking the Guanyin Sutra handed over by Haitang, Wu Tianrou handed it to Cuiping and quickly put it away, and then looked at Mrs. Wu and nodded.

According to the customs of Tianshui Kingdom, people worship Guanyin on the day of Guanyin's birthday, and will buy a bundle of lettuce outside the temple to take home. The pronunciation of 'lettuce' and 'making money' is the same, so generally people who go to the meeting will buy lettuce and return as a sign of making money.

The Wu family will also buy a bundle of lettuce every year to bring back, although the Wu family is not a family of merchants, but who doesn't like to ask for a good fortune.

After chatting with Mrs. Wu for a while, the sisters and two aunts of the Wu family also came over to say goodbye.

Mrs. Wu has just recovered from a cold because she has also suffered from a cold, so she has not come to Mrs. Wu's side recently to say goodbye, for fear that the two will infect each other and make her condition worse.

"Old lady, your health this year is much better than in previous years, but unfortunately you have been contaminated with wind and cold recently, so are you still going to go to the temple in person for tomorrow's Guanyin Festival?"

After chatting a few words, Aunt Chen turned her head to ask Old Madam Wu.

Because when she was fast forward to June, Mrs. Wu also told everyone with great interest that on this year's Guanyin Festival, she would personally go to the Qixia Temple in the suburbs to worship the Buddha.

It's a pity that within a few days, Mrs. Wu fell ill with a cold, so in everyone's opinion, Mrs. Wu should not be able to go out.

"Yes, I showed Dr. Chen yesterday, and he also said that I can't go out and need to recuperate. I have already told Rou'er that tomorrow I will let her go to a pillar of incense instead of me. ”

Taking the gardenia tea handed over by Wu Tianrou, Mrs. Wu nodded with a smile.

"Tomorrow Guanyin's Day, if you are interested, you can go and see it, and pray for peace with incense."

"Okay, old lady, tomorrow we are also preparing to go to Qixia Temple to have a look. However, since the eldest lady is going to offer incense on behalf of the old lady, is it necessary to set off very early to grab the incense? ”

In response, Aunt Qian also nodded, she and Aunt Chen had made an appointment, and tomorrow they would take Wu Tinghua and Wu Tingqiu, and the four of them would go to Qixia Temple to offer incense.

"Well, I'll set off in the starry night, even if I can't grab the first pillar incense, how can I say that I have to grab the first few pillars."

Taking the tea cup that Mrs. Wu had drunk, Wu Tianrou raised her eyes to look at Aunt Chen and the others.

"You don't have to grab the first pillar of incense, you don't have to set off with me in the starry night, it's not too late for you to wait until dawn."

"Big sister should also be careful, will it be too hard to travel in the starry night?"

Wu Tianhua heard that Wu Tianrou was going to leave so early, and couldn't help but ask worriedly.

"It's okay, I believe that there will be no shortage of people like me who set off early to grab the first pillar incense, and there will be no problem on the road at that time. Moreover, I believe that someone will go to the temple today, and it is estimated that they will stay for one night and wait for the time to come to the incense. ”

With a faint smile, Wu Tianrou signaled to Wu Tianhua not to worry.

"Cousin, why don't you make a sound when you come in, will you go to incense tomorrow?"

Finding that Wu Tingcheng had been sitting in the back without making a sound since he came in, very quiet, Wu Tingcheng raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Eldest sister, I felt a little headache when I came here today, it seems that I had a cold last night, so I didn't dare to lean forward, for fear of passing my illness to my grandmother again. I'm not going to go tomorrow for Guanyin's birthday, I want to have a good rest at home. ”

Frowning slightly, Wu Qingcheng raised his right hand and rubbed his eyebrows, making a weak look, looking a little pale.

"It's hot now, and the temperature is still a little unstable, so it's easy to get sick. Allure, since you are not feeling well, then go back first, and let Dr. Chen come over to take a look at you. ”

Seeing that Wu Qingcheng really didn't seem to be very comfortable, Mrs. Wu hurriedly waved her hand.

"It's not too early at this hour, I'm a little tired, so let's all go back, and prepare something to go out tomorrow."

Turning her head to look at the sunlight coming in from the window, Old Madam Wu said to everyone with a smile.

"Okay, then the granddaughter will go back first, and she will go out early tomorrow morning, and the granddaughter will not be able to come to greet her grandmother."

Bowed to Mrs. Wu, Wu Tianrou smiled and said a word, and then walked out of the Xishou Hall with Mrs. Wu's smile of understanding.

Later, Wu Tingcheng, Wu Tinghua, Wu Qianqiu, Aunt Qian, and Aunt Chen, after giving Mrs. Wu a salute, all withdrew from Mrs. Wu's room and walked towards their own courtyards.

Wu Tianrou came to Mrs. Wu's Yunrong Courtyard and told Mrs. Wu that she would go out early tomorrow morning to make incense on behalf of Mrs. Wu.

Mrs. Wu was naturally not very relieved, and persuaded a few more words, seeing that Wu Tianrou was unmoved, this was the way to agree, and then began to arrange a carriage for her to leave the house.

"You said that this is also a coincidence, your brother also went to Linxian to visit the teacher, otherwise I can rest assured that he will accompany you out, or you should bring a few more guards."

Don't give up, Mrs. Wu persuaded again.

"Mother, go to Qixia Temple to worship the Buddha, what is the matter with my Hula and a team of guards! You can rest assured, Qixia Temple is not far away, there will be a lot of people in and out of the city on the day of Guanyin's birthday, there will be no problem. ”

comforted Mrs. Wu, Wu Tianrou was afraid that she would be talked about by Mrs. Wu again, and after the matter was arranged, she hurriedly came out of Yunrong Courtyard and returned to her Yunxiang Courtyard.

With Cuiping and Cuiqin, the scriptures copied by Mrs. Wu and some gold ingots on gold paper were ready, and naturally the sesame oil money for the tribute and worship of the temple would also be prepared.

After counting all the things, Wu Tianrou nodded with satisfaction and went to rest. Now, everything is ready, just wait for the time to set off, and rush to Qixia Temple to incense in the starry night. (To be continued.) )
