Chapter 42: Charity
Cui Wanqing saw the anxious and sincere appearance of the two old men, and couldn't help but smile, and said unhurriedly: "The two grandmothers are good, according to the granddaughter's understanding of Master Ran, you two might as well be the gold and silver that will be enshrined, and let people set up two porridge sheds in front of the gate of Dachengtian Temple." ”
"Isn't there a shortage of food for the poor in this season? Then he ordered some jackets, shoes and socks to give alms, and really did something real for the poor man, if the master knew, he would be much happier than if he got gold and silver. ”
Yes, Cui Wanqing just understood the truth, which is now used, and what he said is the head is the Tao, and it sounds like this.
What do people who believe in Buddhism do? It's just to bless the peace of this life and pray for wealth in the next life, all of which fall on the word 'good' and the word 'giving'.
Once upon a time, these simplest and most direct methods of charity were replaced with gold and silver satin, and rare treasures were enshrined in front of the Buddha?
In people's hearts, they are thinking of the most precious treasures, filial piety to the Bodhisattva, the Buddha must be happy, the Bodhisattva's true body is made of pure gold, their sincerity will be able to move the Bodhisattva to bless, but they ignore the Buddha's heart of the initial good thoughts.
After listening to Cui Wanqing's words, Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Cao couldn't help but smile at each other, and they both felt that their granddaughter was out of breath, and they saw everything clearly.
Mrs. Cao Laohou smiled and said to Mrs. Cui: "It's strange that Master Ran looks at Qing Yatou differently, and it really has his reason, you see, we laypeople only think of gold and silver, but Qing Yatou thinks more practically, old sister, let's do what Qing Yatou says, right?" ”
Mrs. Cui put her hand in her sleeve, carefully rubbed the precise lines of the new bracelet on her right wrist, smiled at Mimi, nodded and said: "My sister thinks it's good, this is a good thing to do good and accumulate virtue, my sister will naturally not be left behind, but since we want to give, then without further ado, our family has a granary in the suburbs of Beijing to prepare for the disaster year, so it is better to let people build the shed of soup kitchen." ”
"Wouldn't it be better to boil the porridge sooner and fill those poor people earlier?" I couldn't help but think: "Why didn't I think of this earlier, I only remembered a dead reason, it must be after the snow in winter, so I built a porridge shed, but I forgot that the surplus grain will be exhausted, the new grain has not been born, and the poor people are not in difficulty?" ”
Mrs. Cao Laohou nodded and said: "It's okay, just according to what you say, sister, let's settle the account later, in short, no matter how much it costs, you and I will add two to five, by the way, according to my sister, how long is it appropriate to build our porridge shed?" ”
Mrs. Cui caressed the Arhat in her hand, and blurted out: "One four seven, three six nine", step by step, these nine of us and the two families will never dare to trespass, and the three is too light, so you might as well just 6636 days. ”
"This time it happens that our two families are working together, and it's not too much, as for the jackets, shoes and socks, they are also prepared according to six hundred and sixty-six sets, and our two families don't ask for anything else, just sincerely like the Buddha to ask for the word 'shun'."
Mrs. Cui's words can be regarded as speaking to Mrs. Cao's heart, the two of them have made such a big deal, isn't this asking for a straight word? She nodded thoughtfully.
The two old feudal lords discussed and decided on a good matter, and it was quickly implemented after a short time, and the Ming'an Hou Mansion and the Cui Mansion were to build soup kitchens to relieve the poor every winter, so they were extremely familiar with this matter, and they had people who were used to it to come forward to arrange it.
The ladies of the two mansions used up the vegetarian food leisurely, and the two old ladies explained to the abbot of Guang'an the relevant matters of the soup kitchen, and then they returned home without hurrying.
Just when the carriage passed through the square outside the gate of Dacheng Tiansi, Cui Wanqing slightly picked up a trace of the car curtain with her hand, and at such a glance, she already saw three or four cauldrons, steaming hot.
She put down the curtain and sat upright, but the smile on her lips couldn't help but deepen, and she heard Cui Wanyun, who was in the same car, laugh and said: "It's not that the sister said you, the ninth sister, you are also a bodhisattva, you and the two elders are indeed kind, but I don't know who is doing the good deeds." ”
Cui Wanqing has been in charge of the backyard of the Liangwang Mansion for many years in her previous life, except for the great god above her head, no one can surpass her, she is the most a person who believes in Buddhism and respects Buddha, and the porridge shed has been built for the longest time every winter, how can she not know the greasy doorway in this porridge shed?
She lowered her eyes and looked at the white porcelain tea cup on the table in front of her, only to feel that the white tea cup was lined with tender green tea soup, which was really good-looking.
He replied lightly to his fifth sister and said: "What is my sister worried about, my sister is not talented, but she can guess one or two, because she ran out of vegetarian food just now, so she took the time to write a note to Master Ran, and bothered his apostle brother to take care of it." ”
"If this steward's work can be passable, everyone will pass with one eye and one eye closed, and if the steward's heart is too dark and is exposed, then it can only be dealt with according to Shu's mother's old routine.
Cui Wanyun saw that she had a thoughtful idea, and she was not a young lady who didn't know the world, so she couldn't help but smile wryly, and said secretly in her heart: "You are a capable person?" Don't look at the thoughtful arrangement you have in your mouth, but this porridge shed is not only built for one or two days, this one is thirty-six days. ”
"You have a policy here, and people also have countermeasures, if you want me to say, in a few days, the great monk who came to supervise will be bribed and join those greedy minions."
"Hehe, I'll see when the time comes, can you still be so indifferent?"
Where does Cui Wanqing know Cui Wanyun's thoughts? She picked up the teacup and savored the tea soup carefully, her expression was filled with a sense of satisfaction, and in the heat of the tea soup, her eyebrows and eyes became more and more stretched, and she was very comfortable.
Cui Wanyun looked at Cui Wanqing like this, and felt even more uncomfortable in her heart, she returned to Jinghui Academy this time, she was very taken care of by Zheng Xiu'er, with this old qualification of the academy as a guide, the ladies who had good friends with Zheng Xiu'er in the past, for Zheng Xiu'er's face, were also gentle and supple to Cui Wanyun.
And who is Cui Wanyun? Seeing this, he must have seized an opportunity, using his common sense that was thousands of years ahead of the ancients, and made a few friends with the alluring rouge shop of Xiangfuchun.
The current Cui Wanyun is much stronger than before, and even Wang Sirou, the little follower next to Dong Fangchen, will show her favor after carrying Dong Fangchen.
Of course, this favor will eventually fall on Cui Wanqing, who made Zheng Xiu'er mean that Cui Wanqing was pushed in front?
Thinking that he had inherited such a big favor as Cui Wanqing, a leader who should be a leader in this era, he was indeed forced to rely on an ancient girl who was two years younger than himself to open up the situation in this ancient aristocratic school.
Even if Cui Wanyun has a reasonable rebuttal, it is really difficult to say, but she doesn't know why in her heart, and she feels really uncomfortable.
It's strange to say, Cui Wanqing is always the one who gives, and Cui Wanyun is always the one who is given, as a confident woman standing at the top of the trend in the 21st century, the more Cui Wanyun is cared for by Cui Wanqing, the more unhappy she feels.
In her heart, she felt that she was taking care of Cui Wanqing, an ancient person, and Cui Wanqing had to ask herself for help in everything, which was normal, but why is it completely the opposite now?
Cui Wanyun lowered her head, unconsciously stroked the teacup with her hand, lowered her head and became committed, Cui Wanqing noticed the depression of her fifth sister, thinking that she was afraid that she would be choked by her own words, and her heart was not happy.
She blinked her eyes and asked Yulan, "Which outer courtyard manager is in charge of the porridge shed in our family, and which inner courtyard mother?" ”
Yulan knew that the master's question was for her to let her answer to Miss Five, and said with a smile: "If Miss Hui Jiu speaks, the steward of the outer courtyard is Cheng Steward, and the mother of the inner courtyard is Mother Sun." ”
"Steward Cheng is the old man of our family, he is very measured in his work, and he is very looked down upon by the big housekeeper, just wait for the third housekeeper to be raised, and he will be deficient, and Mother Sun is the new school of our eldest lady, and it is the lack of Mother Nie's daughter-in-law, the eldest lady is now acting more and more strictly, it is estimated that this Mother Sun is also carefully selected by her, and she will not do it with the master so quickly."
Cui Wanyun saw the unhappiness in her heart, she was spied on by Cui Wanqing so quickly, and she bothered to let Yulan explain a thing or two to herself in disguise, and the little pimple in her heart was a little scattered, but the breath in her throat and eyes was still uncomfortable.
Cui Wanqing saw that her expression was softened, so she didn't bother to say more, cocked her orchid fingers, elegantly picked up the tea cup, gently touched it between her lips, and couldn't help frowning, "This tea is a little cold, let's change it to a hot one." ”
Hearing this, Yulan hurriedly took action, poured the residual tea into the bronze spittoon with a few clicks, and poured the hot tea again and served it with both hands.
Cui Wanyun, who was on the other side, looked at Yulan and smiled meaningfully, picked up her tea cup and took a sip, and sighed: "The ninth sister is delicate, and this tea is cold there?" It's lukewarm, just in the mouth. ”
"Miss Fifth doesn't know, my Miss Nine has a weak stomach, and she still likes to use hot tea, so it needs to be hot, so it's not easy to eat warm."
"Fifth Miss, your tea and our Ninth Miss's tea are poured together, do you want the maid to help you change a cup too?" Yulan asked with a gentle smile, and there was no fault between her eyebrows. R1152
