Chapter 159: Opening the Ancestral Hall Again

Xu Qijin confessed to find a reliable little guy, and Yu Qiu called someone who was good friends with Qiu Nong's brother. That little guy's name is Xu An, his brain is not shrewd enough, and he is a little brainless, and he will never say a word more when he says things that are not allowed to be passed on.

Fortunately, Xu An went to the White Horse Temple, because the appointed time was in the afternoon, and when Xu An arrived at the White Horse Temple, Master Fashi was not in the temple, and it was said that he went to give a lecture to the people of the Chengxi Shan Hall. So Xu An found the Chengxi Shantang again, but said that Master Fashi had already gone to the Chengnan Shantang. Xu An found the Chengnan Shantang again, but Master Fashi personally went to find a few poor scholars to illustrate the Buddhist scriptures. Xu An went to find those poor and sour talents one by one, but said that Master Fashi went to the academy......

If it is a different person, if you can't find it, you will hurry back to the house to report, so that the master can hurry up and come up with other ideas. Xu An was a dead eye, chasing him from place to place, and finally blocked Master Fashi in Zhuangyuan Lane, ignoring Master Fashi's request to go back to the temple to change into a robe, and directly pulled people back to Xu's mansion.

Just in time for the second old lady Xu Jinxing to be one step ahead.

Xu Qirong and the others were silent, only saying that Master Fashi was already on the way here, looking confident, but they were extremely worried in their hearts. Seeing that the hour when Xu Jinxing came back was approaching little by little, cold sweat flowed a few layers on his back. Seeing that it was time for Xu Jinxing to go home, Xu Qijin and Xu Si did not live as long as Xu Qirong, but they were not particularly anxious, only Xu Qirong, and a wave of despair rose in their hearts.

Reliving a lifetime, is she still powerless to return to heaven?

Wait for the maid to report that Master Fash has arrived at the second gate. Xu Qirong grinned excitedly, and he didn't have time to take back his previous sad expression. It's a little hideous, and it doesn't look like everyone is beautiful at all. Qiu Nong hurriedly covered Xu Qirong's face with a handkerchief by helping the girl wipe her sweat.

Gently pulling away Qiu Nong's hand, Xu Qirong's face was already as usual, and he raised his feet and walked in the direction of the second gate, and his heart was naturally extremely excited.

When Xu Qirong arrived, Master Xu Si had already accompanied Master Fashi inside, and saw Xu Qirong coming. Fourth Master Xu smiled and said to Master Fashi, "This is the little girl scorching. Then he turned his head to Xu Qirong and said, "Why don't you come and give a salute to the master." ”

Xu Qirong hurriedly stepped forward to give a serious salute to Master Fash...... This time Master Pash came alone. I didn't bring any apprentices and nephews or other little monks.

The place for Master Fashi to give lectures has long been arranged, and now the weather is good, it is arranged in the open space not far from Cuiwei Lake, futons, strips, incense burners, fragrant tea, and melons, fruits and flowers for the Buddha. Master Pash sat down. There is a sense of solemnity. Even though everyone in the mansion was a little afraid of the place where Caiyue's body was fished out, many people still came to listen to the master's lecture.

After the people were almost here, Master Fash suddenly got up and stared at Cuiwei Lake for a long time, and then stared at Shui Yuexuan and recited the scriptures for a long time, then sighed and sat down on the futon again.

The masters and subordinates present were shocked, because of Master Fashi's abnormal behavior, they immediately became convinced of the speculation that Caiyue's ghost was haunting.

If it weren't for the ghost of the moon. Why did an enlightened monk like Master Fash make such an act of unknown significance?

Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong took a futon and sat beside Princess Pingtai to wait.

Today's talk is "The Buddha Says the Ten Good Karma Sutras". "The Buddha Says the Ten Good Karma Sutras" is from "The Buddha Says the Sea Dragon King Sutra". It is said that the Buddha said for the Sea Dragon King that all the Dharma is involuntarily uncontrollable, and that the Ten Virtues should be cultivated, so that the Ten Virtues can be clarified, and all the Dharma should be taken into account. It is specifically to persuade people to cultivate good karma.

The ladies in Xijing City like to listen to this the most, so everyone listens to it with relish when they stand or sit.

Everyone was listening to the Hong Kong, the second old lady arrived home, but it turned out that he met Yan Kai in Zuo Chunfang on the road, Yan Kai's eldest son set the fourth lady Xu Qiyu of Xu Mansion, so calculated, Xu Jinxing is Yan Kai's elder. It's just that Yan Kai is a person from the East Palace, so Xu Jinxing didn't dare to take an elder frame in front of Yan Kai.

At this meeting, the two chatted a few more words, and the second old lady arrived at the house half an hour later than expected.

It was also thanks to this half an hour that Master Fash had time to come over.

Xu Jinxing rejected Yan Kai's invitation to go to the restaurant for a drink and rushed back, only to know that everyone was listening to Master Fash's lecture next to Cuiwei Lake, and couldn't help frowning, he also thought about solving this matter quickly so that he could have lunch!

Xu Qirong Ping Suli followed Princess Pingtai to read a lot of Buddhist scriptures, and this "Buddha Says Ten Good Karma Sutras" has naturally been read, so he is not as fascinated as others, and has been paying attention to the outside! I heard that Xu Jinxing was back, so he hurriedly sent Qiu Nong to Pingqiu Courtyard. Then I learned that the second old lady had gathered all the men of the Xu family together and went to the ancestral hall.

I couldn't help sneering in my heart, although I didn't know how much of this matter was led by Xu Jinxing, and how much was led by Xu Tingjin, but I also understood that no one in this mansion was thinking about this idea of blood and family, and they were all looking forward to their four rooms going out of the house!

After asking Qiu Nong a few more words, I learned that all the men in Xu Mansion today, regardless of their concubines, did not go out in the mansion. Sure enough, it was prepared.

Xu Qirong sat next to Princess Pingtai, and Princess Pingtai was naturally aware of this movement, with some displeasure in her eyes, and lowered her voice to reprimand: "What are you doing?" Master Fash is a high-ranking monk, so if he can't bear to listen to it, he will quietly go back and rest for a while, so as not to blaspheme the Dharma. ”

When Xu Qijin heard this, he looked at his sister worriedly. She didn't know what her sister was going to do.

Xu Qirong pursed her lips and bowed her head, at this time, she can't leave here yet.

Qiu Nong got the signal of his own girl, and took advantage of Princess Pingtai's failure to react, and slipped away again. Seeing such a big piece of living creature making a ghost in front of her, Princess Pingtai was angry, but it was not easy to chase people back and punish them with great fanfare, so she had to signal to Mama Gui to deal with it later, and she didn't press it for the time being.

Xu Qirong was still in front of Princess Pingtai.

Xu Qirong's actions these days have made Princess Pingtai feel a little unhappy, and she has the heart to teach this granddaughter at this time, but Xu Qirong was the most well-behaved in the past few years, and she has never bothered Princess Pingtai, nor has she ever said a heavy word to her. Now that he was going to teach Xu Qirong at first glance, he couldn't find the words all of a sudden.

frowned.

Xu Qirong didn't know about Princess Pingtai's entanglement, but asked in a low voice: "Grandmother, wait a while, let's go to the ancestral hall!" There was a hint of pleading in his tone.

Princess Pingtai was a little surprised, then turned her head to look around, and found that it was all female dependents and subordinates, and immediately understood. With a soft heart, he no longer blamed Xu Qirong for his previous misdemeanor, but Xu Qirong was frightened by the last time he opened the ancestral hall, and he was worried that his father would suffer again, so he couldn't sit still.

I couldn't help but say, "If you can't sit still, go over and have a look." ”

Xu Qirong pursed his lips and shook his head: "Naturally, it is more important to accompany my grandmother to listen to the scriptures." ”

Princess Pingtai nodded, and Master Fashi had already said, "Those who speak the good Dharma: the Heavenly Body, the Sound Bodhi, the Dujue Bodhi, and the Supreme Bodhi, all of which are based on this Dharma and are achieved, hence the name of the Good Dharma." And then he said no more.

Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong were separated by a princess of Pingtai, even though they were worried, they couldn't ask a word or two, and they were a little restless, and the allusions that Master Fashi said above couldn't listen to a word. In the end, taking advantage of Princess Pingtai's inattention, she gestured to let Yu Qiu slip away.

But he said that on the side of the ancestral hall, Xu Jinxing was in a hurry before, and when the others gathered in the ancestral hall, they were not so anxious. Standing in front of the ancestral tablet, he first glanced coldly at his children and grandchildren, and then asked for a book. That scroll is very familiar to everyone, and it is the family rules of the Xu family.

It is not the family rules of the Xu family in Ruyi Lane, but the family rules handed down by the Xu family in Lingzhou.

Then he invited out another volume, the genealogy of the Xu family.

After Xu Changfang moved from Lingzhou to Xijing City, he specially copied the genealogy of the Xu family in Lingzhou, so the genealogy that Xu Jinxing took out was half a palm thick.

Xu You muttered in a low voice: "This is also a genealogy." ”

Xu Cheng glanced at Xu You and motioned for him to speak less.

Xu Jinxing is old after all, and it is quite difficult to hold such a thick genealogy, so he handed his hand forward, and his eldest son, the second master Xu Tingsong, hurriedly stepped forward to take it, but Xu Jinxing avoided Xu Tingsong's outstretched hand and handed the genealogy and family rules to the eldest master Xu Tingjin.

Xu Tingsong glanced at his cousin, feeling a little dissatisfied.

Xu Tingsong didn't care, and waited for Xu Jinxing to say "Read", then handed the family tree to his eldest son Xu Cheng and held it, and then he took the family rules and began to read them sentence by sentence.

Fourth Master Xu looked at this posture, and his heart sank, it turned out that he and Zhuo Zhuo had not guessed wrong, they really wanted to deal with him.

The house rules were a bit lengthy, and Xu Tingjin took a long time to read a stick of incense.

Xu Jinxing raised his head and glanced at everyone sharply, so frightened that everyone didn't dare to squeak, before he spoke: "Today's opening of the ancestral hall is caused by the unfilial descendant Xu Tingyuan, Xu Ting is far from my Xu clan, from today onwards, the genealogy will be removed from Xu Tingyuan's name, the family ugliness cannot be publicized, and this matter cannot be vented to the public." ”

At this time, the ancestral hall was like an explosion, and they all looked at Xu Tingyuan in shock and talked about it. Xu You actually had the leisure to make up for himself: "Fortunately, I refused to pass on to the fourth ...... Xu Tingjin is the heir! ”

There are so many people, all brothers and nephews, but only one fifth master, Xu Tingrui, stood up and questioned: "The fourth brother grew up with us since childhood, why is it not my Xu family's descendants?" Father, is there something wrong here? ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard someone outside shouting and asking, "Who is hiding there?" Then came the sound of the maid running away in panic. (To be continued......)
