Chapter 82: Get along
Cao Mu watched Cui Yongzhong get along with Cui Wanqing cautiously, and felt that it was quite funny, in the hundreds of years since the founding of the Dajing Dynasty, filial piety has come first, and the younger generation has always been in awe of the elders, he has really never seen anyone's old man, he will be afraid of his daughter.
Although Cui Yongzhong was worried, he was afraid that he would not say a word well, or that something was wrong, and Cui Wanqing, who had a wait-and-see attitude towards him, would disappoint him.
Under the influence of this mood of gaining and losing, his words and deeds inevitably appear deliberate.
In front of his nephew's daughter, Cao Mu wanted to save face for Cui Yongzhong, a father, and it was not easy to say anything, but after turning his back, he began to tell Cui Yongzhong how the father and daughter should get along.
After all, daughters and sons are different, sons, if you want to support the door, you naturally have to discipline strictly, so as not to make the child crooked.
But the daughter is a spoiler in the family, and she must be pampered, that is, to let the child come from the heart, and have the noble feeling of everyone's daughter, and when she comes to her mother-in-law's house in the future, she will not be angry in vain.
By the way, he came to take local materials, and compared himself and Cao Tang, the father and daughter in front of him, to Cui Yongzhong as an example, and taught Cui Yongzhong a lesson very vividly.
I have to say that man is a very strange creature, when he is deaf and clear-sighted, and can look at problems from a correct angle, then this person's behavior must be well-versed and capable, thoughtful and appropriate.
But if this person is blind, or for someone or something, he has drilled the horns, then he will see things as extreme. Only one's own suffering has been magnified countless times in his heart, where can he tolerate the existence of relatives?
So naturally, what kind of family affection, what kind of moral concept, will be diluted little by little, or even obliterated.
Cui Yongzhong was stimulated by Zhou's affairs, and he suddenly shrank into his shell and was reluctant to come out.
Of course, this result has something to do with his unresolute and even somewhat weak character. But more power to drag him down the swamp of confession. is derived from his love for Cao Yunxiu and his hatred for failing to protect his wife.
Now due to fate, Cui Yongzhong, a person who has been imprisoned by the past, miraculously broke free of the chains that bound him. I have gained the freedom of my heart.
Cui Yongzhong, who has returned to normal. He is willing to face up to his past mistakes. wants to make up for what he, as a biological father, owes his daughter over the years.
Therefore, for Cao Mu's bitter words, not only will there be no resistance and dissatisfaction. I also listened to every word and every skill of getting along with my daughter very carefully.
Now that he has known what he lacks under Cao Mu's suggestion, Cui Yongzhong naturally tried his best to make a decent move as a father in front of Cui Wanqing.
Just like Master Ran once said to him, "There is never too late in the world, as long as you do your best, it will never be too late." ”
Not to mention, with Cui Yongzhong's active response, now looking at the appearance of the father and daughter getting along, the progress is quite obvious.
At the very least, no matter what Cui Yongzhong does, he will first think of Cui Wanqing and Cao Tang, which is a big progress.
For example, if the second master Cui was hungry in the past, in the face of eating, Cui Yongzhong would definitely take care of himself, where would he have the idea of taking care of others?
It's not that he's selfish, but he subconsciously feels that there is no shortage of food anyway, whoever is hungry will eat, no one will be left, if anyone doesn't eat, it can only mean that the person is still not hungry.
Now, whenever he rests and sharpens, Cui Yongzhong will let the tea and snacks sent by the next person first, and give them to Miss and Miss Biao first, and see that the children use them, and he will start as an elder.
When it is cold when he goes out in the morning, he will gently ask Fang's mother to take a cloak for Cui Wanqing, don't freeze, the sun is big at noon, he will ask Yulan to put the hood on for the young lady, don't get sunburned.
Regardless of whether the matter is trivial or not, and whether the subordinates have already prepared for their own young lady when he said it, at least this intention is here.
Even Fang's mother has changed her opinion of Cui Yongzhong, because of Cao Yunxiu's death and Zhou's mistreatment of Cui Wanqing, Fang's mother resents Cui Yongzhong the most as the male host.
But now looking at Cui Yongzhong, although slowly, but very seriously changing, is to express her heart for her daughter with practical actions, she, as a subordinate, in addition to thanking the Bodhisattva for the appearance, let Cui Yongzhong's confused brain open, what else can she do?
Now, it is her one day to run happily to the main hall, before going out to put on the pillar incense, when she comes back, she must also put on the pillar incense first.
In her words, "The Bodhisattva has appeared, so we have to sincerely thank the Bodhisattva, otherwise, when you have something to ask the Bodhisattva next time, the Bodhisattva will not take care of you." ”
Cui Wanqing never stopped Fang's mother's pious actions, but still supported them, who made her a believer in front of the Buddha?
And Cui Yongzhong, after he first transformed his concern for his daughter into actions and words, and showed it all, he really felt that seeing his daughter's happy appearance of eating and drinking, he used it much sweeter.
Having fulfilled his responsibilities as a father and watching his daughter be happy, this great sense of satisfaction violently hit his heart.
Cui Yongzhong only felt when he arrived at this meeting that his mother always showed a loving smile when he was eating, because of his mother's love.
And sewing clothes and making shoes for him with her own hands is not because she dislikes the bad work of the embroidery lady at home, but because the mother's love for her son is too deep and too heavy, and she wants to find something substantial and fully express it.
Instead of just saying with your mouth, "Son, I think about you for my mother, and I care about you for my mother." "This kind of empty talk.
Thinking of this, Cui Yongzhong's guilt for his own mother was even deeper, and he wrote a letter to his mother overnight.
The above is true love mixed with tears, and the unfilial deeds of the past few years have been written in a real way, and more than a dozen pages have been written!
At dawn the next day, he sent people back to Jiangzhou City. Even with some Jiangnan specialties that he bought, he sent them all back to the capital, and used practical actions to show his filial piety to his mother.
Not to mention the old lady Cui in the capital, how happy and emotional she was when she saw such an apologetic letter from her youngest son.
even took her eldest daughter-in-law with her and personally went to the Ming'an Hou Mansion to share her joy with her old sister, and more importantly, to express her gratitude to Master Cao San this time.
Things in the capital. Jiangzhou City wants to know. It's also a month later, and now in Hongruo Temple, with the estrangement between the father and daughter of the Cui family, it has gradually eased. Even the atmosphere in which they eat fasting at night. It's also a lot easier.
Qi Xuanhui looked at Cui Wanqing. With the increasing smile on his face, his attitude towards Cui Yongzhong has also slowly corrected from the surface to the sincerity.
Man. They are all full of feelings, facing the people they like, and being in a harmonious environment, everyone feels extremely happy.
Even with the scenery I have seen in the past two days, I feel that I have added a bit of artistic conception, and even Master Guangwen's introduction has no characteristics, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there is no polish at all, but everyone listens to it with relish.
What is Master Guangwen afraid of without polishing? Aren't there still Cao Mu, Cui Yongzhong and Qi Xuanhui?
These three people, you add a sentence, I add a sentence, and soon it becomes vivid?
After walking around the neighborhood for two days in a row, Cao Mu and Cui Yongzhong discussed and decided to take a day off, let the two girls rest, don't be too tired to play.
Cui Wanqing rested for half a day, and in the afternoon, she took Fang's mother and others to the abbot's Zen monastery of the abbot of Hongruo Temple.
She wanted to enshrine the scriptures she had carefully copied in front of the Buddha after coming to Jiangzhou, which was of course her intention to worship the Buddha with her fists, but also for her father's change to thank the Bodhisattva for his protection.
As for the brocade box held by the Jinling sisters, it is filled with some jade pendants, gold and silver pendants, not only the style is unique, but the workmanship is also good.
I want to ask the presiding abbot to help open a light in front of the Buddha, and after returning to Beijing, I will take it to send to people close to me, and I will be more sincere than ordinary jewelry.
Because the consecration needs to be consecrated on an auspicious day, and the preparations required for the ceremony are also very complicated, many devotees entrust the objects that need to be consecrated to the abbot master first, and wait until the auspicious day arrives to consecrate together.
Cui Wanqing knew about this festival, so she sent things early, thinking that for a year and a half, there will always be a suitable auspicious day, right?
These jade pendants, gold and silver pendants and other things, although they look dazzling and dazzling, but they are not particularly expensive, let alone old antiques, even if they are placed in the temple, they are not worried about any mistakes.
After seeing the abbot and explaining the matter, Cui Wanqing asked Yulan and them to offer the brocade box and five hundred taels of incense money.
Looking at the abbot of Anyuan after accepting the silver ticket, his expression was still the same as just now, still kind eyebrows, smiling beads, and did not see the expression of wealth and joy, and couldn't help but have a better impression of Hongruo Temple.
"Female donor, it's okay at the moment, and the old man will personally take you to the main hall to worship the Buddhist scriptures." Abbot Anyuan waved with one hand and said with a smile.
He will have this arrangement, he just took the Buddhist scriptures, flipped through a few pages, and felt that the scriptures copied by Cui Wanqing were handwritten with beautiful and strong handwriting, and the paper was pure white and unstained.
The snow-white fine paper, with the scriptures that exude a faint lotus fragrance, is really pleasing to the eye, and it is a scripture that can really be worthy of such a solemn place.
In fact, in a temple like Lanruo Temple, where incense is flourishing, there are really not a few people who go to the Buddha every year to worship Buddhist scriptures.
But some are impatient and invite others to copy, and some are sincere in copying, but the attainments in calligraphy are limited.
At the end of the year, I can't meet the basic satisfactory, and now the scriptures that are pleasing to the eye are in front of me, and when the abbot of Anyuan is rare, it is natural to arrange it properly.
Who knows, the two of them just walked out of the door of the meditation room, and before they reached the courtyard, they heard someone outside shouting and shouting, which was very messy.
The Buddhist temple is the most important place to pay attention to the quiet and natural realm, and when the abbot of Anyuan heard that it was noisy into this battle, his face immediately became difficult to see.
He turned to Cui Wanqing and said, "I also invite the female benefactor to sit in the meditation room for a while, and wait for Lao Na to go and see what happened." ”
This is because I am afraid that if something happens, Cui Wanqing, the daughter of the daughter, will be bumped into by those reckless people who make trouble, and he really can't afford this responsibility, so he just let Cui Wanqing stay in the house.
When Cui Wanqing heard this, she also felt that it was right, even if she was kind and bent her knees, but she looked at Jin Ling and made a look, and when she returned to the living room of the Zen Monastery and sat down, Yin Ling was gone.
"Listening to the movement just now, it's really not small, listening to the shouting is still very domineering, I don't know what happened?" Cui Wanqing took a sip of the new tea that Xiao Shami had brought back to her, and secretly speculated in her heart about what might happen.
originally thought that if the presiding abbot came forward, no matter how big the matter was, it could be solved quickly, after all, in Jiangnan, there was almost no one who didn't buy his face.
Who knows, Cui Wanqing's sitting is half a day, and the news Yinling has already come back, saying that it is the news that he has come back, but it is not necessarily true.
The child couldn't even get out of the door of the Zen monastery, so he was stopped by the officers and soldiers guarding the door, but fortunately, the officers and soldiers at the door saw that she was dressed well, and they knew that they didn't know which maid it was, and they didn't dare to offend easily.
Just let her in, not allowed to enter and leave without permission.
Yinling thought for a while, "No, this young lady is still waiting for news, so I'll just go back, what's the matter?" ”
As soon as she had an idea, she learned from Fang's mother and them, and used silver to open the way, and only then did she find out the news from the mouths of the officers and soldiers.
The reason why there is a lot of noise outside, she knows a rough idea, and the answer is very simple, there is a Jiangyang thief who escaped from prison last night, and someone saw that the group of people who escaped from prison came in the direction of Hongruo Temple.
In order to protect the thousand-year-old temple, but also for the safety of several senior monks in the temple, the Jiangzhou garrison hurriedly sent soldiers and horses to protect Hongruo Temple.
This is said beautifully, but Cui Wanqing listened to the movement outside, where is the temple being protected? It's just a search for criminals, right?
Fortunately, this is the Zen courtyard where the abbot receives distinguished guests, and the female dependents from the capital are sitting in it, and those officers and soldiers only looked in the courtyard and did not rush to the main hall.
But in the end, these people were still not at ease, and they didn't know where to find a woman, so they took a look around the hall under the pretext of adding water and delivering snacks.
Even if it doesn't hurt his face, he did things again, and it seems that the little boss in charge of this piece is still a very discerning person.
Since people have left room for it, Cui Wanqing doesn't want to be too coquettish, there are felons in this prison, Shangguan is in a hurry, and the people below don't dare to delay, right?
She asked Fang's mother to go out, find the little boss in charge, and rewarded ten taels of silver, which can be regarded as inheriting his favor.
He also asked the little novice who was guarding the hall to find a book of scriptures from the west wing, and flipped through it to pass the time. (To be continued......)
