Getting a hand-copied Buddhist sutra benefits only one person in the family. But if you can be the same incense with the nobles, it will be terrible. Not to mention anything else, the family affairs of the juniors in the family can be smoother. In the future, when people mention the third room of the Zongzheng family who guards the old house, they always have to say it in passing-it is the family that worshiped the third pillar of the incense at the centennial temple building ceremony of the Ci'en Temple!

Mrs. Ren was so happy that she chanted the Buddha repeatedly, and Qiu Tang hurriedly slipped her mouth and said that she was obedient. But after a while, Mrs. Ren saw that her son's face showed a little different color, so she stopped smiling, her eyebrows furrowed, and she looked at her son and asked urgently, "Is there anything else to say?" ”

Zong Zhenglun nodded with a wry smile and said: "The first pillar of incense was won by the eldest princess of Qinghe, and the second pillar of incense fell into the Yuchuan Prince's Mansion, this third pillar of incense," he showed a helpless expression, "Because I don't know how it got to our family, Princess Yuyan County is very disappointed." ”

This princess of Yuyan County, Mrs. Ren has heard of it, and she is really the heart of the king of Yuyan County, and she wants the stars not to bring to the moon. If you offend the princess of the county, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to end than offending the princess of the county. She knew that she might still not be able to get her hands on the third pillar of Fa Xiang.

The huge psychological gap led to the old lady's face to dim in an instant, and Zong Zhenglun hurriedly said: "Mother don't be sad, Master Huitong said that Buddha incense is only dyed by destined people." If the princess of Yuyan County forcibly took the third pillar of incense, it would destroy the Buddha's fate, which is not a good thing. However, the princess of Yuyan County sent someone to pass the word, she did not ask to worship the incense with her own hands, but only hoped that when you offered the incense, she would kowtow to the Buddha with you. ”

Wouldn't it be a fool not to sell this favor?! Not only got the fragrance of the law, but also befriended the nobles, it is really a great thing to have the best of both worlds! Mrs. Ren was overjoyed, and immediately made a decision, and Zong Zhenglun got the letter and hurriedly got out of the car to reply.

There was no time to re-groom, Qiu Tang quickly grated the head of Mrs. Ren with an ivory hairprate engraved with lotus flowers, helped her straighten a pair of Hetian white jade double hairpins inserted in the round bun, and took the golden brown longevity cloak to wrap her in the cold, and then presented a gilt silver and enamel handstove to make sure that she would not be cold, so he carefully helped her out of the car.

Under the personal guidance of the master, Mrs. Ren took Qiu Tang through the envious crowd to the temple gate. Zongzhengjia worships the ever-bright lamp in the Temple of Mercy and Grace all the year round, and she and Master Huitong are old acquaintances, and the two of them are noisy while walking.

Master Huitong said with a smile: "The old benefactor sincerely worships the Buddha and is willing to give, so there is this Buddha fate." However, the old benefactor Ren has a granddaughter who is attached to the Buddha, which is also one of the reasons why Fa Xiang can fall into the Zongzheng family. ”

Mrs. Ren was happy and humble, and said: "The eldest sister can have such a blessing, it is really her great creation." In two months, she will be married, and this time the old body will pray in front of the Buddha, hoping that she can get a good marriage in the future, and the husband and wife will be beautiful, and they will have many children. ”

Zong Zhenglun's eldest daughter, Zong Zhengyu, is the first granddaughter of Mrs. Ren who is about to become an adult, and she has grown up with love and eyeballs since she was a child. Born in a scholarly family, since the age of three, Zong Zhengyu has followed the female master to learn poetry, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and his fame has spread far and wide. Mrs. Ren often took her to the Temple of Mercy and Grace to worship the Buddha, and Master Huitong also recognized her.

But Master Huitong was slightly stunned, and asked tightly: "How many granddaughters do you have?" ”

Mrs. Ren said with a smile: "The old man has two granddaughters under his knees, and there are three granddaughters. "The second master of the old lady Zongzheng, the second master, also has a daughter-in-law, but in the heart of Mrs. Ren, this granddaughter is not a serious concubine.

"Please forgive the old man for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, in addition to the eldest girl, your other granddaughter's maiden name is a Ke character?" Master Huitong's smile was a little reluctant.

The old lady Ren said without thinking: "How forgetful you are, just last month, the old man brought his youngest granddaughter to the incense. That's the fifth sister, called Sister Yue. ”

Master Huitong stood still, stared at Mrs. Ren tightly, and asked with a stern face: "Old Donor Ren, think about it, do you really only have one granddaughter?" If it weren't for a Zong Zheng Ke girl who was treated by Venerable Su Hui's blue eyes, I am afraid that this third pillar incense would not fall into the Zong Zheng family. She said that she was the concubine of the third room of the Yuyan Mansion of the Zongzheng family, and she had been practicing in the Pure Liuli Nunnery since she was a child. ”

Pure glazed hermitage. These five words seemed to be a spell, and Huo Ran opened a certain door of memory for Old Lady Ren.

Zong Zhengke? Zong Zhengke!

She woke up like a dream, and finally remembered the name, and hurriedly said to Master Huitong: "Fang Cai is old and confused, and the old body does have a granddaughter, named Sister Ke." It's only because she hasn't been raised in the house since she was a child, and this matter came suddenly, so she will be forgotten. ”

There will still be a grandmother who has forgotten her granddaughter? Master Huitong was still a little suspicious, but seeing that Mrs. Ren swore an oath, seeing that the time had come, he had no way to verify it, so he had to quickly take Mrs. Ren to the Daxiong Treasure Hall to worship incense.

At this time, the eldest princess of Qinghe and the princess of Yuchuan had already finished paying the incense, but they had not left yet, and only waited in the palace with two or three henchmen. The Zongzheng family of Yuyan Mansion is also quite famous in the local area, but the old lady Ren is not qualified enough to meet these two nobles, and she can't help but feel worried in her heart. Where did she dare to look up at the appearance of the eldest princess of Qinghe and the princess of Yuchuan, dressed in jewelry, and hurriedly stepped forward to kowtow to the nobles with her eyes down.

Unexpectedly, the eldest princess of Qinghe hurriedly ordered the maidservant to hold the old lady Ren and prevent her from kowtowing, and the princess and princess of Yuchuan also said in harmony again and again. Old Lady Ren's heart was beating fiercely, and she was a little confused by the extraordinarily gentle attitude of the two distinguished figures. It's not that she hasn't heard of it, the eldest princess of Qinghe is just a simple princess, and she is used to living in a simple place, and the shelf of Princess Yuchuan is very big.

The eldest princess of Qinghe is also an old man in her fifties, she affectionately took the hand of the old lady Ren, and said with a smile: "I heard that the old sister, your granddaughter Sister Ke'er has the blue eyes of the Venerable Su Hui, congratulations!" Such a great blessing is really envied by this palace. If she is free one day, the old sister may wish to take her to the princess's mansion to meet the palace. ”

The eldest princess of Qinghe is the aunt of the current Prince Shengshang and Yuchuan, and both the Shengshang and the prince are very respectful. She treated Mrs. Ren like this, and Princess Yuchuan couldn't help but say a few good words, and also asked Mrs. Ren to take Zong Zhengke to the palace as a guest.

Mrs. Ren's mind was still a little cloudy, and she didn't dare to offend the nobles, so she had to agree to the invitation one by one with a smiling face. The two nobles didn't dare to miss the time to salute the third pillar of incense, so they only said these few words and left first.

Not long after, a monk from the Daxiong Treasure Hall came in to guide the old lady Ren to kneel down in front of the Buddha, holding a piece of incense wrapped in apricot yellow satin in both hands. The old lady lit the incense, held the unusually good-smelling sandalwood incense high above her head, and then knelt down on the futon and kowtowed.

The fragrance on her nose was very fresh and elegant, but she didn't have the mood to feel it at all, her mind was messed up, and she mechanically followed the monk's guidance and saluted, and she didn't even notice when there was a young woman with a jade appearance behind her.

Mrs. Ren is filling the house, and the old lady Zongzheng naturally has a wife, and that is Mrs. Ling. There is a point in calling it that way.

The old lady of Yuyan Mansion is known as Zongzheng, and in fact, he should be called the third old lady. He is the third of three brothers, and there are two older brothers who both live in the capital. It's just that now the three brothers have been separated, and they are all old ladies in each room, and only when a family is reunited, will they be called by ranking.

Don't look at Zong Zhengjin's old house now, he was a high-ranking official of the fourth grade back then. Even if his Yuan wife, Ling, died, the title of the wife of the imperial court would only belong to her, not to the Ren family.

Therefore, the Ling family is called Madame. And Ren can only be called Mrs. Earlier, when Zong Zhengxiu, the son of Mrs. Ling and the eldest son of the real sect ruler Sanfang, was still alive, every time Mrs. Ling's birthday and death sacrifice, the Ren family would go to Mrs. Ling's spiritual seat to kowtow to the concubine with incense.

Later, Zong Zhengxiu and his wife encountered horse bandits on the way to the province, and the couple died at the same time, only the three-year-old daughter was desperately rescued by a loyal servant, and Ren's rules of respecting Mrs. Ling gradually ceased to be followed. This is also because, since the death of the eldest son and his wife, Zong Zhengjin has been closed and ignored everything, and Mrs. Ren has no so many scruples.

Zong Zhengke is Zong Zhengxiu's only daughter. When she was three years old, she lost her parents, and she was so frightened that she fell seriously ill on the way and almost went with her parents. After recovering from her illness, she often dreamed that her parents died tragically in front of her eyes, so that she could not sleep at night, and she was soon thin into a handful of bones.

Zong Zheng felt sorry for this granddaughter, and gave up his old face and took great pains to invite a monk from the East China Sea Buddha Kingdom who was traveling in the Tianxing Dynasty to come over to help. This senior monk is a master of Xinglin in Buddhism, who not only cured Zong Zhengke's stubborn illness, but also personally presided over a ritual for her.

Moreover, the senior monk warned Zong Zhengzheng that if he wanted to protect the safety of Zong Zhengke, he must first give her up to enter the Buddhism and lead the practice for ten years. In the past ten years, the Zongzheng family has not had this granddaughter at all, and let her be illuminated by the Buddha.

Zong Zheng was reluctant to accept Zong Zhengke, but he did not dare to disbelieve the assertions of the monks. There was no way, after careful investigation, he sent Zong Zhengke to the nunnery Qingjing Liuli Nunnery on Yuyan Mountain, Yuyan Mansion, where Zong Zheng's old residence was located, and paid ten years of child support fees in full at one time.

At the beginning, Zong Zhengke was rescued and put directly in front of Zong Zhengjin to recuperate. Inviting high monks, doing things and later she was sent to the Pure Liuli Nunnery, these things were all handled by Zongzheng, and basically there was nothing to do with the old lady.

And during that time, Zong Zhengjin was still in the local office, far away from Yuyan Mansion, and it happened to be the wife of Zong Zhenglun, the son of the old lady, Ping, who gave birth to the eldest grandson of the third room of the Zong Zheng family, and she put all her mind on her grandson, and did not pay attention to Mrs. Ling's granddaughter at all. After so many years, she completely forgot about this granddaughter.
