Chapter 15: Divination
In an ordinary Qing room in a temple on the outskirts of the capital, an old monk with white eyebrows and a white beard frowned slightly at the turtle shells scattered in front of him, making a painstaking meditation shape, and kept thinking in his heart, how could he not calculate it? After a while, he grabbed the turtle shell on the ground and threw it away again, but the position and direction of the turtle shell were still exactly the same as just now, he couldn't help but shake his head again, grabbed the turtle shell on the ground, and wanted to throw it again.
"Master, if you can't figure it out, don't forget it, master doesn't have to be like this!" Standing next to him in a snow-white monk's robe, the holy young monk who looked like a celestial man had no joy or sorrow, and his eyes were as calm as water looking at the white-eyed and white-bearded old monk who kept divining with turtle shells, and said lightly to the white-eyed and white-bearded old monk in a cold voice.
The old monk with white eyebrows and white beard heard the voice of the young monk in the snow-white robe next to him, he didn't raise his head, and muttered in his mouth, "The teacher knows, you let the teacher come again, if this time is exactly the same as the previous times, the teacher will not count." After speaking, he gathered the turtle shell on the ground into his hand and threw it gently, and the position and direction of the turtle shell landing were exactly the same as the previous times.
Looking at the turtle shells scattered on the ground, the old monk with white eyebrows and white beard sighed helplessly.
The young disciple who was dressed in a snow-white monk's robe next to him and was as holy as a celestial man heard the old monk's sigh and looked at the old monk and said indifferently, "The Buddhist scriptures have clouds: all appearances are false. If you see things that are not like each other, you will see them as they are. The heart is unattainable in the past, the heart is unattainable now, and the heart is unattainable in the future. But if he sees me with color and asks me with his voice, he is walking in evil ways, and he cannot see me as he comes. A qiē has a way of doing things, like a dream bubble, like dew and electricity, and should be viewed as such. ”
The old monk with white eyebrows and white beard heard the words of the young monk next to him, put away the turtle shell in his hand, turned his head and spoke to the disciple he was most proud of, "You're right, it's the master who is persistent, you are in such a state of mind, what else does the master have to worry about?" ”
Hearing that the old monk with white eyebrows and white beard was not attached, the young monk in the snow-white monk's robe folded his hands, "In this way, the disciple will go back to the meditation room to meditate first, and the master will also have time to participate in meditation." ”
When the old monk heard the words of the young disciple in the snow-white monk's robe, he bowed his head slightly, "If the teacher knows, then you can go back first!" ”
The disciple in the snow-white monk's robe gave a faint salute and walked out of the old monk's room like a breeze and a bright moon.
The old monk looked at the figure of the snow-white monk-robed disciple, and sighed slightly, he didn't know how to calculate, but he couldn't believe that this outstanding disciple was going to face it!
casually scattered the turtle shells that had just been put away on a few tables on the side, the phoenix was in love, and it was just recently, but where did this phoenix come from......
Anjihou Mansion
Since Qing Jin told Shen at her grandmother Shen's place that day that she wanted to go to the Panruo Temple to pray for blessings, won Shen's consent, and obtained Shen's opinion, she has been working and resting regularly for more than ten days, getting up early every day to go to Shen's yard to ask for peace, and after coming out of Shen's yard, she went to her mother's Jun's yard, during which she couldn't help but fight with Gu Ningxuan's little bun for dozens of rounds, and the two of them had their own wins and losses.
Seeing that March is about to pass, and the time to leave the Praruo Temple to pray is getting closer and closer, originally according to Shen's meaning, Gu Qingjin asked her aunt's sisters to go together, Gu Qingjin also sent a post, and the two cousins of the aunt's family also agreed, but seeing that the day of departure was approaching, today the aunt's cousin Min sent a letter again, saying that their sisters were going to accompany their aunt to a banquet in two days, and they had said hello before Qingjin posted a post inviting them to go to the Pranyo Temple, but then there was no news from that family, They thought it was canceled, but they didn't expect that the house that held the banquet suddenly sent an invitation the day before yesterday, because it was promised before, and now they had to push Qingjin's side, so they could only let the people from Anjihou Mansion go by themselves.
After Gu Qingjin received the news from her aunt's family, she pondered for a moment, in the generation of Anjihou Mansion, the old lady only had Qingjin's father and the third uncle's two sisters-in-law.
Because the third uncle has been released as an official all the year round, the third aunt naturally follows the third uncle's side to take care of it, and even Gu Qingyao, the concubine born to the third aunt, and the concubines are also by the third uncle's side, and the third uncle has also mentioned that he will let his concubines stay in the capital to serve their grandmother.
But the Shen family refused, so now the Anji Hou Mansion is all living in Gu Qingjin's long house, and in their long house generation, his father Gu Huaili only has one wife and two concubines in name.
Of course, the wife is Qingjin's mother Jun, Jun's family was born in a family of Jiangmen, and Qingjin's father Gu Huaili's family affair was personally set by his great-grandfather, although the two did not have much love after marriage, but the husband and wife got along quite harmoniously, and gave birth to Gu Qingjin shortly after marriage, and later gave birth to Qingjin's younger brother, that is, Gu Ningxuan, the eldest son of Anji Houfu.
Two aunts, one Bai, one Liu, Bai followed his father Gu Huaili in his early years, and gave birth to a son and a daughter for his father, the son is Gu Qingjin's eldest brother Gu Jingxuan, and now he is traveling abroad to study, Qingjin basically has no impression of this eldest brother, and he rarely interacted with this eldest brother in his previous life, only knowing that Gu Jingxuan returned home not long after the third uncle returned to Beijing, and later Qingjin married Long Hanyuan, because she was a concubine, she had no qualifications to be a provincial relative, and she rarely went home, and she rarely cared about things at home. I don't know what happened to Gu Jingxuan later;
Aunt Bai's daughter was Gu Qingxia, whom Qing Jin had seen at her grandmother that day, and the Liu family had nothing to do.
Therefore, Gu Qingjin's father Gu Huaili's house has a total of four children, Gu Qingjin and his younger brother Gu Ningxuan are both born to the Jun family, and the eldest son Gu Jingxuan and the concubine Gu Qingxia are born to Aunt Bai.
In the early years, the Bai family was also proud for a while because he gave birth to a son and a daughter for his father, but later as Qingjin's mother Jun became pregnant and gave birth to a son, and Aunt Bai learned that the century-old family of the Marquis of Anji, the rules of the concubine were heavy, and the concubine did not have the right to inherit the title at all, so she gradually put away her arrogant temperament, and turned low and small, but also won the father's favor again.
On the contrary, it is Qing Jin's mother Jun, because she was born in a family of Jiangmen, Qing Jin's maternal grandmother died early, and her maternal grandfather has not continued after her grandmother went, and there are no miscellaneous concubines in the family. Because of this matter, the Jun family was dissatisfied with the Bai family, and often complained in front of Qing Jin.
In fact, in Qing Jin's opinion, the mother Jun family doesn't have to worry about these at all, Anji Hou Mansion, a century-old family, the rules of the concubine are heavy, and no matter how much the Bai family tosses, it is impossible to cross the Jun family.
