38. Fortune
Sheng Xueyan is still young, although she can't see how good Sheng Xue sees this moire snow jacket, but the female doll always yearns for beauty, the more she looks at Sheng Xue's snow jacket, the more happy she is, and on the other hand, she is jealous, why can she dress so well? The jealousy in her heart had not yet dissipated, Sheng Xue saw that she reached out and straightened the corner of her clothes, and the gold bracelet was revealed. At this moment, Sheng Xueyan's eyes were even straighter.
Compared with Aunt Wu, Sheng Xueyan was even more of a fan of wealth, and the carriage was unusually quiet, so Sheng Xueyan stared at the gold bracelet all the way. Finally, I finally arrived at the Cloud Temple. The four carriages all stopped outside the mountain gate, outside the mountain gate, the eldest lady had already sent someone to erect the curtain, and those ordinary people who came to the Yunjian Temple to worship the Buddha could not enter the temple at this time, so as not to collide with the nobles of the Sheng family.
Several monks from the Yunjian Temple were near the curtain to block the people from entering. Despite this, the Bai family still let Sheng Xuejian put on a veil, and everyone got out of the carriage and followed behind the old lady. The first thing to do when entering the temple is to burn incense and worship the Buddha, the host of the Yunjian Temple has already stood at the door of the main hall and waited, seeing the old lady and her party coming, he stepped forward and put his hands together and said: "Amitabha, Mrs. Sheng!" The old lady Wu also folded her hands and returned the salute. Sheng Xue saw that he was standing behind the crowd, he was short and naturally couldn't see anything.
The Bai family held Sheng Xue tightly, for fear that her daughter would be separated in this temple. Today, burning incense is secondary, and the most important purpose of the old lady is to ask about the future of her children and grandchildren. Sheng Xue saw that she followed the old lady into the main hall and kowtowed to the Bodhisattvas in the hall one by one. However, although they are in the second room, when kowtowing, the old lady deliberately pulled Sheng Mixiang and Sheng Agarwood to kneel next to her. Sheng Xue sneered in her heart, how painful was this, and she ignored the rules. She looked up slightly at Sheng Poria and Sheng Yunling, who were kneeling on the second row of futons, and the two people in the long room didn't seem to be very good.
The host of Yunjian Temple waited for the Sheng family to worship the Bodhisattva one by one, and then stepped forward, the old lady got up and said: "This year, the Sheng family's incense money has doubled, the host master, I heard that you have returned from a trip to Jiangbei, and the old body has a reluctant invitation......" Before the old lady finished speaking, the host spoke: "The Sheng family has a relationship with my Buddhism, why don't you let the poor monks take a look at your sons and ladies today?" ”
The old lady was stunned, when it came to this matter in previous years, the host always shirked it, why was it so simple this year? But it's always a good thing, save your tongue. The host made a gesture of please, and this time the third generation of the Sheng family all arrived at the Yunjian Temple, and the youngest Sheng Zexiang came. Sheng Zexiang is the daughter of Aunt Feng in the third room, and it stands to reason that the daughter of the aunt does not have to come, but the old lady intended to let the host show Aunt Wu's daughter Sheng Xueyan, so she had to bring all the daughters of the other aunts with her.
Everyone followed the host to a spacious meditation room, and the people in the four rooms were settled, and the host said, "Let's invite the eldest prince first." The old lady nodded. Sheng Yunling walked in front of the host a little nervously, speaking of which, although Sheng Yunling is not a jade tree in the wind, she is also a handsome person, because she is taller than her peers, she stands out in the crowd.
When Sheng Yunling walked towards the host, Sheng Xue couldn't help but look at the eldest lady, this person who has never revealed the slightest thought on his face, his face was slightly moved at this moment. Parents all over the world, and the eldest lady is also nervous for her son. The host carefully looked at Sheng Yunling for a while before he said: "Eldest son, the road to green clouds is the most difficult and easy, only the gentleman can walk freely." "I don't want to say more. Between them, Sheng Yunling's expression on her face changed, and she finally saluted and turned back to her seat.
Immediately afterwards, Sheng Poria took her younger brother Sheng Songling to the host, who knew that the host shook his head and said, "It's a pity that this natural beauty is a pity." This was obviously said to Sheng Poria, everyone was confused, but Sheng Xue saw that she guessed one or two, Sheng Poria would not be able to join Changping Bofu in this life. The host looked at the five-year-old Sheng Songling again: "Jin Songsheng is a cliff, whether it is a blessing or a curse, it depends on the creation of the third son." ”
Where can the five-year-old Sheng Songling understand, the eldest lady couldn't help but ask: "I still hope that the host master will give you some guidance." The host looked at the eldest lady and said, "The eldest lady, the vicissitudes of the road, but it is the right way in the world." As long as the sons and ladies stick to the right path, why are they afraid of wind and rain? The eldest lady looked uncertain after hearing this, but she still didn't say much.
It was Sheng Xueyan's turn to see Sheng Xueyan, who knew that the host suddenly waved his hand and said, "Please ask this young lady to come forward." His eyes looked at Sheng Xueyan. This move made Aunt Wu very happy. The abbot master is his daughter, is Xue Yan born with a strange fate? However, the happy expression did not last long, and he frowned and said, "This young lady needs to copy the Guanyin Heart Sutra every day before she can go to the evil qi that the young lady was born with." ”
"Old monk, what are you talking nonsense?" Although Sheng Xueyan didn't understand what it was to be born evil, she was immediately unhappy when she heard that she was asked to copy the Heart Sutra every day. Originally, the old lady was already surprised when she heard that she was naturally angry, but who knew that Sheng Xueyan suddenly said such rude, and the old lady's surprise immediately turned into displeasure. Aunt Wu didn't dare to let Sheng Xueyan cause trouble again, and immediately pulled her back.
After that, the host didn't seem to notice Sheng Xue anymore, and continued to show the people in the third room. Sheng Mixiang took her younger brother Sheng Agarwood and her sister Sheng Zexiang to the host, her eyebrows rose and she was quite disdainful of this monk, as if the host said something bad, then it must be the host's incompetence.
"If you don't know how to work hard, in the end it will be empty, a few young ladies and sons, I hope you will keep this sentence in mind." Sheng Mixiang is not as brainless as Sheng Xueyan, her face changed at the moment and she endured it. At least the host can't deny her talent and intelligence, which is incomparable to the Sheng family's talent.
After that, the host looked at the faces of Sheng Mianyin and Sheng Xiyin in the fourth room, and said something that Sheng Xue couldn't guess: "It's a pity that you are smart but you are smart." ”
The old lady was unhappy when she heard this, and was about to get up and take everyone back, when suddenly the host stood up and approached Sheng Xuejian, and her voice was a little unstable: "This young lady's fortune is really amazing!" Sheng Xue was not surprised, she had already guessed that the host would come like this, so she stood indifferently.
However, the old lady looked at the host and asked with some hesitation: "Master host, how is this woman's fortune?" ”
