When Zongzheng worshiped the Buddha, no one was allowed to disturb him, so Lou Gongren was ruthlessly stopped outside the small courtyard of Qingyi Building. She was so anxious that she was in a hurry, but fortunately, after a while, Zong Zhengjin hurried back to the house, and then called open the door of the small courtyard.

It turned out to be a coincidence. Lunch was used outside, and he took his two sons to invite a few old acquaintances of the Uogawa Mansion to eat and drink. Because of the strong conversation, several people did not go back to the house after the meal, but went to the teahouse to continue chatting. Unexpectedly, they happened to meet Pei Juma on the road, this concubine who recruits cats and dogs all day long and does not do his job is very enthusiastic, so he has to go to chat with him, so he went together.

Pei Yuma has never had a fight, and he chatted with Zong Zhengjin and others very happily. Because he was in a good mood, he also invited everyone present to attend the birthday banquet of the eldest princess of Qinghe, which made everyone feel extremely surprised.

You must know that Zongzheng has been idle for many years, and he used to be an official in other places, and his former official positions in Yuchuan Mansion are not high, and they are not eligible to get birthday banquet invitations. And Zong Zhengfa, as a concubine, could only watch his brother Zong Zhenglun get permission to follow his father to the banquet. In this way, everyone is really happy.

It's a pity that sorrow fell from the sky, and Pei Juma patted his chest and said that he wanted to invite the big guy to Wangjianglou for dinner, and someone came to the house. This person reported that Fourth Young Master Pei's condition suddenly took a turn for the worse, and he was about to get worse.

Pei was so anxious that he left immediately. Since Zong Zhengjin and the others knew about this, they couldn't ignore it, so they cautiously asked if they could go and find out about Fourth Young Master Pei's illness. They didn't really plan to go, they just showed that they cared. Unexpectedly, Pei Yuma immediately agreed, and he grabbed Zong Zhengjin's sleeve with one hand and got into his super luxurious carriage.

At this time, Zong Zhengjin listened to Pei Juma confide in the truth. It turned out that in the morning, his beloved granddaughter Sister Ke saved the life of Fourth Young Master Pei. There were outsiders present at that time, and Pei Yuma really couldn't express his gratitude clearly - after all, for the sake of the girl's family's reputation, he gave Zong Zheng face like that, and drank tea and invited him to a birthday banquet.

Zong Zheng was happy in his heart, and he was humble on the surface. The carriage galloped to the eldest princess's mansion, and before he could see the patient. I heard there that the eldest princess sent someone to Zong Zheng's house to invite Zong Zhengke, in order to touch her Buddha blessings to keep Pei Si safe.

This is obviously a rush to the doctor, but it also shows that Pei Si's situation is really not very good, otherwise the eldest princess would not do this. Zong Zhengjin is very clear about the rules of his granddaughter. She doesn't see outsiders when she prays to the Buddha in the afternoon, and even the servants in her courtyard take a holiday. He hurriedly informed Pei of this, and hurried home in the carriage again.

As soon as Lou Gongren saw that his old colt was coming in person, he should be accompanied by the old lady of the Zongzheng family, and this anxious heart finally let go. She's also in her fifties. As soon as I relaxed, I felt dizzy, but I didn't fall to the ground, but fortunately the slaves and maids around me held him.

At one moment, Zong Zhengjin called open the courtyard door, and Zong Zhengke personally greeted him, with a calm demeanor, no surprise, no joy, and etiquette to greet everyone thoroughly. Pei Yuma, she had seen it in her previous life, but it was not easy to show it at this time, so she only blessed herself silently.

Zong Zheng said solemnly: "Good boy, you pack up, grandfather will accompany you to the eldest princess's mansion." Recite a few volumes of peace sutras to the eldest princess and pray for blessings. ”

On the way, Pei Juma had already faintly hinted that their family wanted to hire Zong Zhengke as their granddaughter-in-law. If it weren't for that, it would be a matter of the girl's reputation, and Zong Zhengjin would never let go and let Zong Zhengke go. But with this meaning, it's different.

Seeing that Zong Zhengke was only two years away from Jilu, Zong Zhengjin naturally had to worry about her life's affairs. This granddaughter is different, she has no father and mother, and she is not really close to her step-grandmother, only his grandfather himself does the work for her.

When Pei Juma first mentioned this intention. Zong Zhengjin was reluctant. He had long known that the fourth young master of the Pei family was not in good health, and no matter how outstanding his talent was, he didn't want to find a sick and crooked husband for his granddaughter. And marrying a daughter is low, and the disparity in family background is too great. No matter how you look at it, it's not a good match.

But Pei Juma made it clear that Abbot Zhiming, the presiding officer of Guangen Temple, the most famous Buddhist ancient temple in Yuchuan Mansion, had given Pei four batches of lives, as long as he found a daughter-in-law with a deep Buddhist relationship and let him be more blessed, his body and bones would definitely improve.

Zong Zhengjin still had doubts in his heart, and he didn't want to accept anything immediately. However, he still agreed to let Zong Zhengke go to the Buddhist hall in the eldest princess's mansion to recite a few volumes of the Peace Sutra. Anyway, if you don't get along with Pei Si alone, you only say that you will pray for the eldest princess, and if you follow him step by step, there shouldn't be any big deals. In addition, the reputation of the eldest princess of Qinghe, he still believes that this is a real model of a princess.

Although her grandfather said this, Zong Zhengke immediately understood that the person who really wanted her to chant and pray for blessings was actually Pei Si. Could it be that his condition has changed again? No, you can't!

Lou Gongren was carried over by the maidservant, shook Zong Zhengke's hands, and said with tears in his eyes: "Good girl, you have to go on a trip." You have the blessing of the Buddha and great blessings, so let our family ......" she vaguely said, "Divide your blessings!" ”

Pei Yuma was not familiar with Zong Zhengke, so he stood next to him and nodded vigorously. Zong Zheng was afraid that this somewhat unobtrusive old horse would say something inappropriate, so he preemptively said: "The Buddha has the virtue of a good life, and the roses with people and the fragrance left on his hands can make more people contaminated with the blessings of the Buddha, which is an act of accumulating virtue and doing good." And where do you worship the Buddha and chant the sutras, aren't they all the same? ”

Zong Zhengke nodded after a long groan: "Grandfather, granddaughter is thinking of inviting Master Yuanzhen to go with her, and then bring the Buddhist scriptures copied by the Supreme Trend with her." ”

"Good, good!" Zong Zhengjin's face was full of relief, and he nodded again and again. Lou Gongren and Pei Juma were also very happy. Because human life is at stake, many rules are not exquisite. The carriage of the eldest princess's mansion drove directly to Qingyi's downstairs and picked up Zongzheng Ke Mingyue Mingxin and Master Yuanzhen. For the four of them to be dressed up, the people of the Pei family were not only not angry, but even happier.

The carriage traveled all the way, Xu was clear of the street, and soon arrived at the eldest princess's mansion on Ankang Road. Although it is only an annex of the eldest princess, because the eldest princess often comes to live, it is renovated like the princess mansion in Jingli and Qinghe Mansion.

The princess's mansion had already been prepared, and although the main entrance was not opened, the left door next to it was opened, which was only slightly inferior. The carriage drove straight in and did not stop until it reached the four gates. There was a small sedan chair waiting next to him, lifting the master and servant of Zong Zhengke and walking away, and soon arrived at the Buddhist hall in the backyard.

The door of this quiet Buddhist hall has long been wide open, and the sound of tuk-tuk wooden fish and murmuring chanting can already be heard inside. Outside, there were futons on the ground in the courtyard, and many slaves knelt on the futons and recited sutras. After getting off the sedan chair, Zong Zhengke was in front, holding the Buddhist scriptures in his hand, and walking side by side with her was the peace-eyed Master Yuanzhen, followed by Mingyue and Mingxin.

The Buddha hall is large and smoky. Among them, there are three golden statues of the Buddha, all of which are several feet high. On the Buddha statue hangs the seven treasures of the Buddhist family, and the color is brilliant and dazzling. There were many futons placed under the offering table, and the eldest princess of Qinghe took her daughter-in-law and granddaughter to kneel and chant the scriptures. In front of them sat two nuns, old and young—the old one closing his eyes and chanting, and the young tuk tuk knocking on the wooden fish.

Zong Zhengke took Master Yuanzhen to the left side of the Buddha statue, and Mingxin hurriedly took Mingyue to swing over the four futons. After the four of them knelt down, Zong Zhengke opened the Buddhist scriptures in his hand, and the soft chanting voice sounded softly: "Guanzi Bodhisattva, when he walks deep in Prajnaparamita, he sees that the five aggregates are empty, and he is suffering ......" She sang the "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra", one of the three major methods of relieving calamities, and her little brother copied it by hand.

As if there was a magical power, since Zong Zhengke began to chant the scriptures, the voices of the eldest princess and the rest of the ladies in the palace unconsciously stopped. The old nun slowly raised her eyes, and when she saw Zong Zhengke and his party, she immediately got up and walked behind them, and she didn't want a futon, and knelt directly on the ground. The young nun also stopped knocking on the wooden fish and followed closely. Without any hesitation, they all followed Zong Zhengke's chanting and began to chant the Heart Sutra.

Master Yuanzhen only moved his lips slightly, and the chanting voice was imperceptible. Mingxin knocked on the wooden fish, and Mingyue picked up Buddha beans. Their every move is naturally familiar, and the expressions on their faces are all reverent and respectful. The eldest princess Qinghe's eyes were slightly wet, she took a deep breath, followed Zong Zhengke's words, and chanted the Heart Sutra together.

In this way, I didn't have time for dinner, and I waited until the time of the lamplight. In addition to the master and servant of Zong Zhengke and the two nuns in the Buddhist hall, only the eldest princess of Qinghe and the duchess of Yiguo remained. The rest of the people didn't leave on their own, but Pei Yuma ordered someone to leave. After all, not everyone has that ability, and they can kneel for hours without moving.

After more than half an hour, someone finally stumbled into the Buddhist hall, it was the dignified Grandpa Yiguo. He knelt behind the eldest princess and said happily: "Mother, An Zhi is awake!" Mr. Gu has already seen it and said that his life was saved! ”

Huo Ran, the eldest princess of Qinghe, looked back, turned around and kowtowed respectfully to the Buddha. Mrs. Zhou collapsed on the ground, crying so hard that she couldn't even stand up. Pei Yunjian, the Duke of Yiguo, could only glance at his wife with concern, and went to pick up the eldest princess first.

The eldest princess broke free from her son's support, trembled slightly and walked to Zong Zhengke, who was still chanting, and said in a low voice: "Good boy, let's rest after this chanting." She didn't say anything thankful, such a great kindness can't be ended with a few dry words.

Only then did Yi Guogong realize that the little girl with long hair in a tie dress over there turned out to be Zong Zhengke, and his gaze fell directly on her face, and he was actually out of his mind for a while. Mrs. Zhou stopped crying, slowly got up, caught a glimpse of her husband's demeanor, and her slender eyebrows frowned almost imperceptibly.

The eldest princess of Qinghe was anxious to see her grandson, so she didn't say much, pulled her son, and asked her daughter-in-law to leave the Buddhist hall quickly. Zong Zhengke sighed secretly while chanting the scriptures, no wonder the eldest princess Qinghe would switch to Taoism in her previous life, her mind to worship the Buddha was actually not firm. Otherwise, whatever happens, the verse being recited must be completed. (To be continued.) )
