On the day of the funeral, early in the morning, the clansmen, relatives, world friends, and Yinyi rushed to the Bofu, and the Bofu prepared a banquet, and the funeral could not be left on an empty stomach. You can either search for it

Mama Yan waited for Shen Wanzhen to freshen up in the ear room on the side of the mourning hall, watched the peony come out, and quietly stuffed a new pair of scissors to Shen Wanzhen, at this time, someone passed under the window, Shen Wanzhen was busy tucking it away, walked to the side hall, and quietly told Mama Yan to go to the front to see if her mother's family had arrived, it stands to reason that her parents should come, in addition to her aunt, they are still relatives, brothers-in-law, but there is an accident in everything, Shen Wanzhen is a little worried.

Go to the side hall to eat with peony, peony is a little restless, eat a few bites, put down the chopsticks, as if there is something on her mind, Shen Wanzhen ate a big bowl of hot soup cakes, save some strength, stop the spirit of the temporary house in the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple, the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple is north of the capital, and it will be a long way to help the spirit.

Seeing Mama Yan stepping into the threshold, her eyes met, and Shen Xuanzhen knew that her father and mother were here.

Peony said sullenly: "Young lady, didn't Fu Ling'an arrange for the female dependents to sit in a sedan chair?" ”

"The old slave inquired and arranged the sedan chair for the young lady and the peony girl." Mama Yan is careful in her work, and she has long asked whether the master is walking for a while and taking a sedan chair or has been helping the spirit to walk, in ancient times, women bound their feet and couldn't walk a few steps.

Shen Wanzhen knew that Uncle Dao's Mansion would not abuse them in front of anyone, but she still changed into soft-soled embroidered shoes early in the morning.

Everything in the house is ready to stop, Shen Wanzhen looked at the person who played the flag, a little familiar, like a subordinate or something, full of filial piety, and the time was introduced, and the spirit support team went out of the mansion in a mighty way.

Halfway to the road sacrifice, all the way to stop and stop, because of the long road, to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple has been almost noon.

The backyard of the temple, a secluded place, is made of bricks, and the coffin is directly carried in, and the spirit is temporarily housed.

After the ceremony was completed, both thanked the guests, all the relatives and friends were about to disperse, and the people in the Bofu were going to return, Shen Wanzhen knew that Uncle Zhan and his wife would not come today, and all the matters were presided over by Uncle Zhan, and he was secretly glad that this was a great opportunity, seeing that his father and Uncle Zhan also turned around and wanted to leave, he secretly clenched his fists, walked to the front quickly, stopped everyone, knelt down in front of everyone, and said loudly: "Father and mother, uncles, the little woman has something to say." ”

Everyone was blocked by her, and they were all curious about what else she had to say, and Master Shen couldn't help but look solemn when he saw his daughter kneeling as if there was something big.

Uncle Zhan was taken aback, and reacted very quickly, "Brother and sister, the visitors are all relatives and friends, officials of the imperial court, and family affairs of younger brothers and sisters, and they are discussing when they go back to the house." ”

Let's say, I was about to leave, but Shen Wanzhen didn't wait for him to act, and said in a crisp voice: "The little woman was married for less than half a year, her husband died, and she decided to become a nun, and the little woman made a vow here today to take refuge in Buddhism." ”

Everyone was stunned, seeing that this woman was so young that she said that she wanted to become a monk, wasn't she sad and confused.

Uncle Zhan didn't react for a while, but Master Shen said first: "Daughter, you are sad for your father's knowledge, and being a monk is not for fun." ”

Uncle Zhan hurriedly responded: "Yes, my brother and sister are discussing when they go home." ”

Shen Wanzhen said loudly to Master Shen: "My daughter has thought it through, so I will cut my hair and become a nun today, and I will not return to the Bofu." ”

Before Master Shen could speak, Uncle Zhan was anxious, "How can this work?" Parents will not agree, now that the second brother has died, the second room of the Zhan family needs younger siblings to preside. ”

What to host? Shen Wanzhen sneered in her heart, raising a concubine? Take care of the concubine through the room.

Shen Wanzhen raised her voice, "The little woman has a white body, not yet dirty, I am willing to keep the green lantern alone, serve the Buddha, and cultivate the next life." ”

Uncle Zhan didn't understand, "What does this mean?" ”

Master Shen heard a little bit of the doorway, Mama Yan stepped forward and muttered a few words in a low voice, Master Shen's face changed greatly, the Bofu is powerful, but he deceives people too much, his daughter has been married for half a year, and now she is still a daughter, and she is also her own daughter, and she is insulted by this, Master Shen just doesn't take his concubine seriously, and he can't help but be angry.

Zhao was secretly shocked in her heart, she guessed what was going on, seeing that her husband was still in the clouds, quietly passed, whispered a few words, Uncle Zhan was so shocked that his mouth opened a few times, but he didn't say anything.

Uncle Zhan didn't want her to keep it, but if he agreed, he couldn't explain to his parents, so he didn't dare to agree.

At this time, I heard a loud female voice in my relatives, "What kind of white body, how can it be a white body after half a year of marriage?" ”

This is the second aunt of Zhan Shaoting, a relative of Bofu.

"If you are still white after half a year of marriage, your nephew and daughter-in-law will be greatly wronged." The third aunt of Zhan Shaoting in the family pile saw that she was having fun and fanning the flames, lest the world be chaotic, and the more chaotic the Bofu, the better.

These two people just deliberately stirred up, and they didn't believe that their nephew and daughter-in-law really didn't break her body as she said.

Uncle Zhan didn't really believe it, even if he really believed it, he couldn't admit it on this occasion, so he said with a dark face: "Even if my brother and sister are dissatisfied, they shouldn't joke about this matter and ruin the reputation of the Zhan and Shen families." He deliberately brought the Shen family and pulled his in-laws to his side, as long as the in-laws were not facing the Shen family, it would be easy to do.

Before Shen Wanzhen could speak, Mama Yan stood up and said loudly: "Since you don't believe my girl's words, just find someone to check." Mama Yan was afraid that the girl's family would be thin-skinned, so she was embarrassed to say it in public, so she stood up for her master and made it clear.

At this sound, the people present, the relatives of the Bofu and some court officials, all had eight points of belief that it was true, and it must be a pale body, otherwise how could this Shen family dare to openly call out.

Zhan Shaoting's third aunt said excitedly: "There is still such a thing? The second nephew has not even married two daughters-in-law, and I heard that two of them are pregnant. ”

Uncle Zhan glared at her fiercely, and this stubble was also mentioned on this festival. It's not a slap in the face.

His second aunt didn't know if she heard it, so she said: "I heard that it was the concubine who killed the first daughter-in-law, and the second nephew died in her bed, and the fetus was also conceived that day." ”

There were a few relatives of good deeds, who were excited when they heard it, and whispered, and some of the city government did not squeak, standing and watching this good show.

Uncle Zhan listened, his expression was embarrassed, and he was simply embarrassed, among them was a court imperial historian, this person was upright, and today he was also aiming to be an official in the same dynasty as Uncle Zhan, so he came to cheer, and other officials pretended not to hear it, only he said lukewarmly: "Look at it this way, it's good to be a monk, a monk is quiet, the Buddha blesses, cultivate the next life!" ”

This cynicism made Uncle Zhan's face red and white for a while, and he only hated that there was no crack in the ground to get into, and he endured humiliation and kind words to comfort Shen Wanzhen and said: "Even if my brother and sister want to become a monk, I am not prepared in a hurry, the temple is full of monks, and my brother and sister are a woman, so it is not easy to live here." ”

Master Shen couldn't hold his face, his face became more and more ugly, and he forcibly suppressed his anger.

Shen Wanzhen can't procrastinate, she must make a quick decision today, if she goes back to Bofu with him, the matter will be stopped, and she won't speak, suddenly, very quickly, she pulled out a pair of scissors from her sleeve, pulled out the silver hairpin, and the black and thick hair flowed down, she grabbed it, and the waist was a scissor, and her hair fell on the ground in front of her.

Shen Wanzhen held the scissors in her hand, raised her head, and said to Master Shen: "My daughter has made up her mind, and she would rather die than return to Bofu." ”

The Wu family beside Master Shen knew that it was not good when Shen Wanzhen took out the scissors, and wanted to call the maid to stop him, but it was too late, so he hurriedly beckoned to the people on the left and right, "Quickly snatch the scissors down, you want to become a monk, and you also want to find a nunnery, this temple is inconvenient after all." ”

The Wu family is a plan to delay the army, first stabilize Shen Wanzhen, coax her back to the Bofu, and detain the people, saying that she has changed her mind and returned to the Bofu, and she can't help it.

Shen Wanzhen glanced at her mother-in-law contemptuously, and said in a loud voice: "My daughter will stay in the temple today, accompany the coffin of her deceased husband, and when the arrangements are made, she will move to the nunnery." ”

Master Shen, who had never spoken, spoke at this moment, and said to Uncle Zhan, "Since Zhen'er is determined to become a monk, it is also a good thing, and the descendants of future generations will also be protected by the Buddha, and there is no reason not to allow it, the in-laws will see this matter......"

Master Shen was deep in the city, and he expected that his daughter had suffered a great grievance in the Bofu, otherwise he couldn't be so decisive, how to say that he was also his own flesh and blood, and he was very dissatisfied with the Bofu in his heart, and treated Shen Wanzhen harshly, this is the official who crushed people to death, and did not put his Shen family in his eyes, slanted his eyes at the Wu family beside him, and was angry with her in his heart, and the Wu family was even strange to her, and he didn't dare to say more.

Uncle Zhan Khan came down, didn't agree, the court was public, Shen wiped his neck, forced people to die, no matter how he said, he couldn't explain it, after all, he was no hotter than his father, such a scene can easily be overcome.

Everyone looked at Uncle Zhan, Uncle Zhan broke out in a cold sweat, and he didn't dare to agree, the second room was waiting to be delivered, there was no housewife, and the joke was big.

There is a small official in the court who has a good thing, but he is angry, and he said in a timely manner: "Uncle Zhan is embarrassed, is it because of those two posthumous sons, who want to be recorded in the name of his wife, if this young lady is a monk, her plan will be disappointed, but the young lady is still a girl's family, how can she raise her children well?" ”

With these words, Uncle Zhan was embarrassed, and Zhao was beside him, stabbed him with his elbow, and whispered: "If the stalemate continues, Bofu's face will be even greater." ”

At this time, the official of the imperial history said loudly: "This matter will be held by the next official to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and her old man admire the strong woman the most, and Mrs. Shen is a monk, please issue a decree to the Empress Dowager." ”

The officials in the DPRK and China all know that the queen mother was squeezed by the favored concubine of the first emperor back then, and hated the backyard of this official's house the most.

Uncle Zhan glanced at his wife for help, and Zhao motioned for him to agree.

Uncle Zhan cleared his throat and relieved his embarrassment slightly, "In this way, my younger siblings will live in the temple first, and when I return to my parents, I will be properly settled." ”

Shen Wanzhen kowtowed a few times to everyone, which was regarded as thanks, and was helped up by Zhan Shaoting's fourth aunt and Mrs. Yan.

Uncle Zhan was frustrated, Bofu's face was greatly damaged, and a joke was inevitable.

For the sake of safety, Master Shen ordered the maid and servant to stay in the temple, and the monks in the temple arranged a clean room for her to live temporarily.

Uncle Zhan returned home, depressed, back to his parents, Master Zhan frowned, still didn't keep anyone, Mrs. Zhan was so angry that she dropped a tea cup at that time, and reprimanded the eldest son and daughter-in-law, the two of them shouted in their hearts, and they didn't dare to refute it, so they quit.

Mrs. Zhan had an attack on her eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, and after she calmed down, she said to Uncle Zhan: "Master, this matter is up to her?" said that if you leave home, you will become a monk, but what about the child in Qiaohui and Aunt Ying's womb? If you hear that your wife is gone, can you feel at ease? Besides, Qiaohui has a room, Aunt Ying can't even be counted as a room, she has no name, the child is born, and the people in the house are used to being the master of the high and low, and they don't practice to death. ”

"So far, there is only one way to do it, if the two of them give birth to a son, they will bring it to the lady's house to raise, as for the name, the old two are gone, and his daughter-in-law is also a monk who ignores mundane things, the genealogy of the biological mother is not going up, my second old man is alive and well, I am afraid that one day I will die, then I can't control it, as for his future, by his life, if the eldest and the third child have affection, reward him with a mouthful of food, if he is ruthless, he can't suffer and suffer, this is also his life."

When Mrs. Zhan heard this, ten thousand arrows pierced her heart and couldn't help crying.

"Don't cry first, there is another thing, what is the shame of those two concubines, after a long time, I am afraid that I will have other thoughts, and at that time, the concubine will be born, and I will not be able to live, you immediately order someone to block the corner door of the small cross courtyard where the two of them live, go to a front door, and when they give birth, they will be carried to your room." Uncle Zhan understands better than his wife and is thoughtful.

"What does the master mean that those two houses have been sold after production?" Mrs. Zhan didn't understand what the old man meant.

"Sold? Sold in a kiln? Where does the concubine grow up and have face? How do you live? Stay and keep the feast. "Uncle Zhan is not like his wife's wife's opinion, and he is not confused in major matters.

On a June day, on the official road outside the capital, the curtains on both sides of the carriage were rolled up, and a woman in Tsing Yi sat inside, dressed plainly, and a maid next to her said quickly: "Look, master, here, the scenery is so beautiful!" ”

The woman looked at the mountains, and a nunnery was built against the mountain, with a pink wall. Surrounded by green mountains, green streams surround the house, and there is a plaque on the door of the nunnery, "hugging the moon hermitage".

When Shen Wanzhen got out of the car, three or four nuns in the nunnery greeted her, and an old nun who started with her palms clasped her hands and said, "Old Nifa, clear space, please be inside the lady." ”

Let's say, the little nun led in front, Shen Wanzhen followed a few into the nunnery, Shen Wanzhen worshiped the Bodhisattva, got up, the old nun let the clean room rest, although the old nun is a monk, mundane things, the heart is clear, knowing that the rich lady is not sincere to the Buddha, but there is an unspeakable hidden, borrowing her side, covering up the ugliness of the family, she took in these homeless women, and the nunnery got some benefits.

The empty master said: "The nunnery is simple, the old nun is afraid that Mrs. Shen will be wronged, so he specially vacates a house behind the nunnery for Mrs. Shen to live in, the small courtyard, far away from the nunnery, quiet, no one disturbs, Mrs. Shen can meditate and practice, there is a corner door on the side of the courtyard to enter and exit, no need to go to the front of the nunnery, it is convenient to enter and exit, if Mrs. Shen has any requirements, just ask, the poor nun will do her best." ”

Shen Wanzhen saw that this old nun was more sophisticated than ordinary people, and thanked him again and again, saying that he was bothered.

The Void Master ordered a little nun to take Shen Wanzhen to the vacated house behind.

The little nun took Shen Wanzhen's master and servant to a small courtyard behind Baoyue Nunnery, and when she entered the courtyard, she saw five main rooms, with a guest hall in the middle, and east and west rooms on both sides, with doors in and out, the little nun walked to a room in the east, opened the door, and let Shen Wanzhen and others in, and said: "Madame lives here, and these ladies' maids live in the east wing, and there are two empty rooms." ”

Shen Wanzhen saw that this house was not too big, it was a suite, and there was a small room in it, which was a bedroom, although the furnishings were simple, but the layout was exquisite, it looked clean, the beds and bedding in the inner room were clean, and they were all new, Shen Wanzhen was very satisfied.

The little nun took a few people to the residence, and Xiuju, Qiaoshan, Qian Pozi, and Yan Mama lived in two rooms in the east wing.

After settling down, the little nun returned to the main landlord's room and said to Shen Wanzhen: "Madame lives in the east room, the donor who lives in the west room is surnamed Wang, Wang Niangzi, and the donor who lives in the west wing is surnamed Su, Su Niangzi, you can see it in half a day, these two donors and the young lady are about the same age." ”

After the introduction, the little nun left.

Xiuju packed up her things for Shen Wanzhen, opened the baggage she brought with her, all of them were clothes and jewelry, and even the toiletries were brought out, Shen Wanzhen smiled: "Why are they all collected?" ”

"These are all things that the master marries, and I don't bring any of the things in Bofu." Embroidered chrysanthemum put things on the table in the same way, and said in one line.

"Not only did the eldest young lady not feel embarrassed, but she also gave the master fifty taels of silver, and the third young lady also gave the master a big sweater, saying that it was cold in winter."

"When the slaves and maids came, I heard that Aunt Ying was going to leave the house and look for the dead and alive, and the lady sent someone to guard day and night, afraid that she would not be able to think about it, so she looked for a short time." Mrs. Qian said with a smile.

"She heard that the master has left the Bofu, and compared with the master, she will also become a nun and spend time for the second master." Qiao Shan laughed like a silver bell, and a silk flower trembled on her head.

"I'm so happy in this room, I'm here to join in the fun." A young woman of the same age as Wanzhen came in with the voice, not wearing a tie clothes, wearing a flamboyant bright color, trimming her eyebrows and phoenix eyes, listening to the crisp and pleasant voice, you can know that the personality is refreshing.

There are two little girls behind him, one is wearing tender yellow, the other is wearing parrot green, combing double buns, looking young.

Shen Wanzhen hurriedly stood up, squatted lightly, and said with a smile: "I've seen my sister." The young woman squatted deftly and blessed herself, "Take the liberty of disturbing, sister forgive me." ”

"Speaking there, my sister is worried about life when she first arrives in the nunnery, and no one speaks, so my sister please

Take a seat for tea. Shen Wanzhen enthusiastically let her go to the kang, turned around and beckoned Xiuju to take out the tea and food she brought.

Osmanthus sugar, melon seeds, chestnuts, variegated sugar, walnuts, divided into several plates, and the kang table was full for a while.

"Little Hong, bring us some things to eat, you can't just eat my sister's." The young woman's eyebrows fluttered, it seemed that the nunnery was lonely, and she was very happy that Shen Wanzhen and them came over.

"No need, that's enough, I'll go to my sister's house to eat my sister's another day." Shen Wanzhen smiled and hurriedly stopped the little girl.

"It's decided, Ming'er will go to my house." The young woman was not polite anymore, she sat on the kang in a big way, and at first glance she had a casual personality.

"How old is my sister?" The young woman peeled off a chestnut and asked Shen Wanzhen.

"Erjiu, how old is my sister?"

"The eldest sister is one year old, nineteen years old, it seems that it is not wrong to call my sister."

"What's my sister's name?"

"Shen Wanzhen, where is my sister?"

"Wang Yuerong, the moon of the moon, the flower of the moon." Wang Yuerong giggled, and the people in the room also laughed.

Shen Xuanzhen grabbed two handfuls of melon seeds and walnuts and brought her two little girls, the two little girls squatted down and thanked them, and Xiuju was also eating melon seeds on the side, looking not as restrained as the maid who came out of everyone's door, at first glance, this master is good at talking, there are no rules, and there is no one to control in this nunnery.

The women who live in the nunnery are all last resort, and those who have hardships are either abandoned by their husbands, or their husbands' families do not tolerate them, but even in the nunnery, they are not ordinary women who can live casually, they are all rich and powerful female dependents, and the end is quite good.

A woman from a poor family was abandoned by her husband's family, and even if she became a monk, she could only do rough work by carrying water and chopping wood, and live a hard life.

The window in Shen Wanzhen's house was half open, and she faintly heard the sound of wooden fish, Shen Wanzhen said: "This place is far away from the nunnery, how can you hear it so clearly, is it too quiet in the mountains, and the sound is far away?" ”

"My sister is listening carefully, where did the sound come from?" Wang Yuerong tilted her head and said with a smile.

"It seems that someone in the west wing knocked on the wooden fish." Qiao Shan is clever and ghostly, hear it.

"Is it the sister of the West Wing surnamed Su?" Shen Xuanzhen asked Wang Yuerong.

"Exactly, Sister Su will be officially shaved in two days." The smile on Wang Yuerong's face disappeared and she sighed lowly.
