Chapter 111: Lighting the Lamp

Xie Shuning nodded: "The third aunt is right. After finishing speaking, she looked at the monk again, and said with a smile, "Please also ask the master not to forget the matter of the ever-bright lamp, sesame oil money, and I will ask my mother to add it in person later." ”

Quitting hatred and making a profound statement, he said: "Miss Eight is very wise, filial and filial, and Mrs. Xie Liu has raised a good daughter. ”

Who doesn't like to listen to praise, Xie Shuning is of course happy to hear it.

Quit anger relied on such a mouth that could say good things to fool Emperor Qinglong and many people, in the final analysis, he was just an old liar who loved money. But it doesn't matter, the important thing for her is that she is a smart person who can understand words.

Things have come to this point, and all that's left is to add more firewood.

And quitting anger is the "firewood" she needs.

As time passed, the rain became less and less, and the sun began to emerge from behind the layers of dark clouds. The sunlight is still thin, with a slight warmth, and it can't dispel the haze brought by yesterday at all.

At lunchtime, Mrs. Seventh ignored the rule of eating and not sleeping and silent, holding chopsticks and asking the eldest lady with a smile: "Sister-in-law, is the third aunt already okay?" ”

Among the few concubines, she is the youngest, and she has always been more lively, so if she doesn't ask a word, of course she can't help it. The eldest lady was already ready to deal with it, and when she heard this, she said: "After all, the third aunt is getting older, and she hasn't slept all night, so she will be very tired." Although the temple is clean, it is not as comfortable as the house, and when the meal is finished, we will prepare to go down the mountain in half an hour. ”

Mrs. Seven was surprised: "Let's go?" ”

Seeing this, the eldest lady couldn't help but wonder and said, "This matter." Didn't the third brother and sister know that they didn't mention it in the morning? ”

In the morning, she made a decision with the Song family. Indeed, he sent to inform them. It just so happened that Mrs. Seven went to the toilet at that time, so they didn't meet. But at that time, Jiang could hear it clearly.

Mrs. Seven's complexion was a little unpleasant.

The two have been in the same place all the time, and Jiang didn't even say a word.

Jiang Shi originally only listened to it from the sidelines, slowly and methodically using her own fasting meal, which would hear the words of the eldest lady, and suddenly felt that the food in her mouth tasted like chewing wax, and swallowed it in a hurry, so she confessed to the seventh wife: "I have a bad memory, and I forgot it all." ”

In fact, she was thinking in her heart that someone had come to inform her. Mrs. Seventh should have been informed by others, so Mrs. Seventh didn't mention it later, so she didn't take the initiative to speak.

Who knew that Mrs. Seven didn't know at all.

But if she argues like that, she will definitely be regarded as a quibble, so it is better to be honest and honest that she forgot about it.

Sure enough, after she finished speaking, Mrs. Seven's face looked better.

But then, Mrs. Seven didn't say anything more, just ate in silence.

Between women. Heart knots couldn't be easier.

The meal passed smoothly, and the group went to pack their luggage after the meal, and the maid took the lead in sending the things down the mountain.

Several masters of the Xie family went to the main hall to make the last incense, and then said goodbye to the monk who was angry.

On the way to the main hall. Mrs. Seven didn't see the third old lady, nor did she see the Chen family, so she couldn't help but wonder. But the conversation during the meal just now still made her feel like a fish in her throat. Although I was confused now, I didn't want to ask. In case it is Jiang who knows about it again. It's so boring if you don't know about it. She thought. He simply kept his mouth shut.

The lit incense exuded a faint fragrance in the air, and everyone made incense in turn in front of the Buddha.

Xie Shuning gently took Song's hand and said, "Mother, this morning I will agree with Master Jie to order a few lanterns." ”

"Ever-bright lights? Whose did they order? Song pretended to have something in his heart, but he didn't care when he heard the words, and only smiled reluctantly.

The eldest lady on the side didn't know about this, and she just wanted to use this incident to make the atmosphere more relaxed, so she deliberately smiled at Xie Shuning and said: "Ah Man has a heart, the sixth brother and sister are too good at teaching children, which makes people envious." ”

She said this to flatter the Song mother and daughter, but who knew that she forgot for a while that the Jiang mother and daughter beside her were all cautious people.

As soon as she said this, the Jiang family was better, but Zuo didn't like the Song family even more, but Xie Zhiruo was terrible, staring at Xie Shuning's eyes as if they were about to fall out, and her eyes burned for a moment and refused to move away.

Xie Shuning noticed it, but she didn't have time to pay attention to her, she only smiled and looked at the monk who was approaching them, and said, "Parents, brothers, grandmother, and Ah Man's own, a total of five." ”

"Ordered Grandma's?" Song and the eldest lady were stunned.

Xie Shuning smiled brightly, and said with a smile: "Exactly, grandmother treats people kindly and kindly, and she is an elder, how can she be missing?" ”

Song was puzzled, and the eldest lady was shocked that Xie Shuning would say that the third old lady was kind and kind.

However, neither of the two spoke, and the monk had already approached.

Xie Shuning grabbed Song's arm at the right time, and called her half coquettishly: "Mother, Ah Man has already threatened to donate a golden body to the Bodhisattva in the temple, do you say okay?" ”

The Song family has never cared about money, and he spoils her quite much, so he doesn't think about it and says: "Of course it's good, this is a matter of immeasurable merit." ”

Xie Shuning smiled and shifted her gaze to the monk who quit hatred.

"Thank you so much, Mrs. Amitabha." When he heard that the Song family had allowed the golden body, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "The ever-bright lamp has been prepared, and the eighth lady has a lot of wisdom, if you want, you can light the lamp by yourself, and show your piety." ”

In this case, it is highly praised.

Xie Shuning listened to it, but she couldn't help but slander the old treacherous and cunning, but she was afraid that she would repay her debts, so she asked her to go in person, even if something happened one day, it would be easy to shirk it.

But because Song didn't know anything, he swept away the previous depression and immediately responded: "Let's go and take a look." ”

After seeing it, it was good to add sesame oil money and go home.

The group followed the abstinence to the place where the ever-bright lantern was placed, and the oil lamp was neatly arranged, just waiting for someone to light it. Xie Shuning washed his hands and stepped forward amid the sound of chanting the scriptures.

The first lamp is naturally the third old lady's.

The flame touched the wick, but it did not burn for a long time.

Xie Shuning's heart blossomed. There was a panicked look on his face, and he turned back in panic. Without an idea, he asked, "Master, why can't you light it?" ”

Quit anger saw that her expression was realistic. If it weren't for the fact that he had lived for decades and boasted of being sharp-eyed, and had a conversation with Xie Shuning this morning, he would have to take it seriously. He secretly thought: This woman is still young, so she has such a city, and the coming days must be unlimited.

He stepped forward, gently closed his palms, lowered his eyes, and said, "Please also ask Miss Eight to order the rest first." ”

The master spoke, of course, there was no need to worry about the order of the elder and the younger.

Xie Shuning moved his steps. Gradually, the first few lamps were lit, and he returned to light the lamps of the three old ladies.

But still, it didn't work.

At this moment, the eldest lady who was watching on the side was also stunned. Especially the eldest wife and the Song family, the two insiders, bore the brunt, and they both showed different colors.

The monk also deliberately showed a slightly puzzled look.

Xie Shuning said: "I'm afraid that the Buddha dislikes Ah Man and is not sincere enough, so he asked the master to light the lamp for his grandmother." ”

Jie Yan glanced at her and stepped forward to light the lamp.

However, where the flames passed, there was no response.

The look on the face of the eldest lady is far from being explained by the word doubt.

Of all the people present, only abstaining from anger knows. This bowl is filled with water...... Of course, it doesn't burn......

I tried two more times, but it didn't take more than three times, and I finally came back to quit anger.

The old man's face showed a heavy color, and he slowly spoke: "I'm afraid this lamp can't be lit." ”

The eldest lady thought about the events of last night. Yixin thought that this was because the third old lady had done dirty things in the Buddhist gate, and he couldn't help but be frightened in his heart, and asked tremblingly: "Please also ask the master to make it clear?" ”

"The Buddha's will is unpredictable." The monk shook his head slightly. .

The eldest lady was convinced, and only felt that the third old lady was afraid that she would cause trouble this time. I didn't dare to stay in Puji Temple for a long time, so I hurriedly wanted to leave.

Song's face was also gloomy. Let Zhuo's mother go and get the silver ticket.

A lantern that burns for a year is more than enough for at most ten taels of silver.

But as soon as the Song family made a move, it was five hundred taels, and as if he was holding paper, he drew a few large denominations.

Quit looked at it with disgust, strained his face, but he smiled in his heart like a flower blooming everywhere in the spring of March, no matter how brilliant and warm.

The Xie family and his party hurried down the mountain.

The horse's hooves knocked on the ground, and they carried people all the way into the city gate, drove into the north city, and went to Shijing Hutong, where Xie's house was located.

Xie Shuning leaned lazily against the wall of the car and pretended to sleep.

Soon, the carriage arrived on the ground, and there was a commotion outside, and those who got off got off got off the car, and those who took things took things. Only in front of the carriage of the three old ladies was silent.

Mrs. Seven was not very happy in her heart, and after a few words, she was the first to go back.

Jiang followed closely behind, dragging Xie Zhiruo, who still wanted to show off with Xie Shuning again, back to the long room.

In this way, only the people in the third room and the eldest wife are left.

At this moment, it is almost evening, and there is a touch of orange and red light on the horizon, gradually turning blue and black.

Song instructed Yuebai and Zhuo's mother, "Send Miss back to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and don't move around at will tonight." ”

"Yes."

The two of them responded, carrying things and walking towards the Xiaoxiang Pavilion after Xie Shuning.

Xie Shuning smiled, and said to Zhuo's mother: "Mom, do you know what happened to your grandmother?" ”

Mother Zhuo looked at her hesitantly, but finally shook her head.

On that day, Zhuo's mother followed the Song family into the door of the third old lady's room. But this will, Zhuo's mother didn't even mention it, which shows that this time the eldest lady's means of sealing her mouth made it very good.

Xie Shuning didn't ask anymore, strode back to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and after taking a breath, he ordered Yuzi, who had not been seen for a few days, "You be careful to inquire if someone will come to the third room in the long room." If not, then think about asking if there are people gathered in the plum blossom dock in the long room. ”

The three old ladies are elders, and things will inevitably go through the two old men in the long room. (To be continued......)
