Chapter 7 Worship the Buddha
The sky gradually turned white, and Zhou Shaojin put down the pen in his hand and rubbed his somewhat sore eyes.
She listed everything she remembered, and as for what she didn't remember...... That can't be helped!
What to do next, it's up to you!
Realizing this, Zhou Shaojin was a little worried and afraid, but there was also an undeniable faint joy of eagerness.
She took a deep breath, carefully read what was written on the paper twice, and recited it again, seeing that nothing was missing, and brought the paper to the lamp......
Relived a life, this kind of thing is too shocking and unbelievable, it's better to be cautious.
She watched the flames quickly pick up and devour the paper, and then her mind calmed down, and she turned around and lifted the curtain, ready to mend her eyes.
Shi Xiang's voice came from outside the door: "Second Miss, Second Miss, you should go to the old lady's side." β
How did you forget about it?
Zhou Shaojin said "um", hurriedly freshened up, ate half a bowl of white porridge and went to Mrs. Guan.
The place where the Cheng family lives is called Jiuru Lane, and the entire alley is inhabited by people from the Cheng family. The four-room is in the northwest of Jiuru Lane, and Mrs. Guan lives in the east cross-courtyard of the four-room.
The east cross courtyard was originally a four-room upper room, and the old lady Guan was a widow, so she should be moved to the west cross courtyard to live according to the etiquette, but when the old lady was persuaded to die of illness, the old man and the second master were still young, so they didn't pay attention to these. When the eldest man got married, the old lady Guan wanted to vacate the upper room for the eldest son who should support the court, but the eldest man was unwilling to do so - the west cross courtyard was next to the fifth room, and the five rooms were jumping all day long, and he was afraid of arguing with his mother, and he was even more afraid of adding to his mother's blockage.
After discussing with his younger brother and the Yue's family, he placed the new house in the West Cross Courtyard and gave the East Cross Courtyard to his mother.
Mrs. Guan saw that her son and daughter-in-law were sincerely filial, and she also intended to avoid the fifth room, so she lived like this.
In the mist of the early morning, the azaleas and peony flowers in the east courtyard are about to bloom, the green willows are hanging lightly, the laurel trees are luxuriant, and the courtyard floats with a faint fragrance of grass and trees, which makes people walk in and their spirits are uplifted.
Zhou Shaojin's footsteps couldn't help slowing down.
The maids-in-law, mothers-in-law, and daughters-in-law who passed by greeted her one after another.
Zhou Shaojin smiled and nodded, but he was thinking about the Cheng family in his heart.
Vulgar speaking, for the media media. It's the same thing, if the difference in status between the two sides is too great, what you say will have no weight.
She is a little girl who is raised in the deep boudoir, the door is not out of the door, and she doesn't recognize all the words, who will believe what she says? Maybe she will think that she is evil like her sister, and find a Taoist monk to do things. This is all small, I'm afraid I'm afraid that I will tie her up and hand her over to my father to dispose of. When the time comes, let alone save the Cheng family, whether his life can be saved or not is a matter of two words.
Now the top priority is to find someone who can speak to the Cheng family.
Cheng Jing, the big old man of the long house?
No way!
Although he is the eldest son of the Cheng family, and he is the highest-ranking person in the Cheng family, he is far away in Kyoto, and he still saw him when he was a child, so he can't talk at all.
Cheng Wei, the second master of the long house.
Not at all!
He was also in Kyoto, serving as the kokuko's priest of wine, which she had never seen...... Don't look for the big man of the long house yet!
Cheng Yi, the eldest man in the second room?
He was a mountain chief in the Cheng clan study...... It is said that he is not going to participate in the imperial examination again, that is to say, he will stay in Jinling all the time, and the reputation of the Cheng family is tied to the temple, he is not an official, how do you know why the Cheng family was raided and exterminated?
Cheng Lu, the eldest man of the third room? Everyone said that he was stupid when he read, and he couldn't even tell the difference between leeks and narcissus. His son Cheng Zheng is already a lifter, and he is still a showman...... How can such a person conspire with him?
Uncle Chu?
Forget it!
My sister didn't believe what she said, and my uncle wouldn't believe what she said.
As for Cheng Wen, the eldest man of the fifth room, except for Zhangtai, he has never done a serious thing, and it is better to count on him than to count on Cheng He.
Thinking of this, Zhou Shaojin's eyes lit up.
Cheng He, he will definitely believe in himself!
When the time comes, let him go and talk to Master Jing......
The thought flashed, and Zhou Shaojin's gaze became dim.
Cheng He, like himself, can't see Master Jing in his spare time, and he respects Uncle Shu the most, for such an important matter, he will definitely tell Uncle SΓΉ Uncle, Uncle Wei knows, he won't talk about her, but he will call his sister to ...... No, you can't tell Zhou He!
Who else is suitable?
The name "Cheng Xu" came to Zhou Shaojin's mind!
Mrs. Jing gave birth to two daughters in a row before she looked forward to this son, she was like a treasure to him, she couldn't wait to hold it in her hand for fear of falling, and she was afraid of melting in her mouth. If he can come forward, Mrs. Jing will definitely believe that Master Jing respects his wife the most, and Mrs. Jing opened her mouth, and Master Jing will definitely not turn a deaf ear. That's half the battle......
No, no, no!
She couldn't look for him.
In her previous life, she and he didn't say a total of ten words, but Mrs. Jing slandered her and lured him...... If she had spoken to him, Mrs. Jing Da wouldn't know what to say.
Zhou Shaojin stubbornly pressed this name in the depths of his memory, thinking about the cold and arrogant appearance of the eldest cousin in the second room, and the sharp gaze of the eldest cousin in the third room...... She felt a chill in her heart, didn't dare to think deeply, and absentmindedly entered the old lady's courtyard.
She was greeted by the big girl next to Mrs. Guan.
She saluted Zhou Shaojin with a smile, and Zhou Shaojin came back to her senses.
The two exchanged a few words, bypassed a few hundred-year-old laurel trees, and entered the upper room.
Mrs. Guan was waiting for Zhou Shaojin.
Zhou Shaojin accompanied Mrs. Guan to the small Buddha hall.
The small Buddha hall is dedicated to the three-foot-high Guanyin statue, flowers and fruits, incense, candles and curtains, which are very neat and bright.
Zhou Shaojin liked it at first glance.
She skillfully took out three Nanmu incense sticks from the box of the incense case on the side, lit the incense burner in front of Guanyin Buddha, and handed them to Mrs. Guan.
Mrs. Guan bowed her head gently, pressed the incense, knelt on the futon, and prayed a few words, Zhou Shaojin stepped forward to help the old man up, helped her insert incense, and helped her out of the small Buddha hall to clean her hands. Mrs. Guan asked her, "What scriptures do you usually read?" β
"Read everything." Zhou Shaojin didn't dare to tell the truth, for fear of arousing the suspicion of Mrs. Guan, and said with a smile, "But the most familiar is the Lotus Sutra." β
Mrs. Guan praised: "It's good to be able to read the Lotus Sutra smoothly, you can actually read it well, it's good, it's good." β
Zhou Shaojin pursed his lips and smiled.
Mrs. Guan personally took out a copy of the Lotus Sutra, returned to the small Buddha hall, sat down on the futon, and began to recite the scriptures.
Zhou Shaojin's mood relaxed and calmed down with the chanting.
Mrs. Guan kept nodding.
This kid is not reluctant.
She liked it a little more in her heart.
At noon, Mrs. Guan not only left Zhou Shaojin to eat, but also told her about her youth, so as to teach her to be a person and do things.
Zhou Shaojin's heart was warm, there was still a bit of a taste of socializing, but now she sincerely wanted to get close to Mrs. Guan, she was a lot more casual in front of Mrs. Guan, her smile became cheerful, and her speech and demeanor became more generous.
Mrs. Guan saw it in her eyes and remembered it in her heart, and she became more and more kind to her.
Zhou Shaojin couldn't think of anyone to talk about the Cheng family for a while, her heart was in a mess, and accompanying Mrs. Guan to chant the scriptures was just right for her to calm down, she opened her eyes every day and ran to the east across the courtyard, and she didn't come back until the lights were lit.
Mrs. Chuda and Zhou Chujin both teased her: "I don't know what good things our old lady has hidden for you to remember?" β
Zhou Shaojin now knows that both her aunt and grandmother like her very much, and the self-pity in her previous life has disappeared, and when she heard the two say this, she just giggled.
There was a cheerful atmosphere in the room.
Mrs. Guan asked Zhou Shaojin to copy the scriptures for her, saying that it was to be offered to the Bodhisattva on the eighth birthday of the Buddha in early April.
Zhou Shaojin said: "Then will we still go out on the eighth day of the fourth month?" β
At this time of year, they will go to the temple to offer incense, but this year, April 12 is the birthday banquet of the ancestor of the second room, and I don't know if there will be any changes.
"It's not clear yet." Old Mrs. Guan sighed and said, "It all depends on what Changfang says." β
Everything is one and the other.
In the past, the ancestor of the second room, Cheng Xu, served as a scholar of the Yingwudian University and a scholar of the Criminal Department in the capital, and when the ancestor of the long room took care of the affairs at home, he was naturally the most beautiful in the second room. When the old lady Cheng Li in the second room died early, the old lady Cheng Xun and Cheng Shao brothers in the long room were promoted one after another, and the Cheng family was in a situation again. Now the ancestor of the second room, Cheng Xu, has already been a teacher, and the eldest master Cheng Yi is just a teacher, and the long room has a three-jinshi, and there is a fifteen-year-old case, and the shape is a little different.
But no matter what, Sifang has never been a home, and he doesn't fight for it.
Zhou Shaojin copied the scriptures attentively.
Mother Wang walked in quickly and said hurriedly, "Old lady, the lady of the long room is here." β
The old lady of the long house, Guo, Mrs. Jingda's mother-in-law, Cheng Xu's grandmother, and the wife of Zheng Sanpin.
Mrs. Guan was a little surprised, looked at the sun outside, and said, "Why did you come here at this time?" β
"I don't know." Mother Wang was a little nervous and said, "Looking at the old lady's appearance, it doesn't look like there is something urgent." β
Mrs. Guan nodded and instructed the maids to serve her and change her clothes.
Zhou Shaojin's hands and feet were cold, and he sat for a long time before he came to his senses.
Cheng's family room lives on the north side of Jiuru Lane, adjacent to the fourth room.
In her previous life, Zhou Shaojin had only seen Mrs. Yuan a few times from afar, but she knew that the Yuan family, as the youngest daughter of the old family of the pavilion, dared to speak loudly to her husband Cheng Jing, but she did not dare to pant loudly in front of Mrs. Guo.
When Yuan scolded her, no one could stop her, but Mrs. Guo "snorted" and made Yuan shut up.
Zhou Shaojin still clearly remembered the contempt, coldness and anger in Mrs. Yuan's "hum", as if she was a dirty thing, and it was too hard for her to take a second look.
I am indeed dirty, and I can't complain about being despised by others......
Time seemed to have returned to that moment, and Zhou Shaojin just wanted to slip away quietly.
The old lady Guan called out to her: "You put your hair and clothes in order, and follow me to say hello to the old lady." β
