Chapter 40: Make a wish to worship the Buddha
Hsu's method is not the smartest, but it is the simplest and most effective. She is the head of the Shu family, and with just one sentence of lack of people, she can borrow one or two people from time to time around the Wang family.
Not to mention, there are three meals a day that are sent later, and the ones sent are a little cold, or they ask the Wang family to do some needlework or something, these small and delicate things, even the old lady is not easy to interfere with. It's just that Xu's is doing it above board - even the eldest girls have to be busy with packing their luggage, you are an aunt, it's not good for Mrs. Labor to personally direct people to pack things, right?
In the past, the Wang family went to ask the Xu family to say goodbye, but the Xu family was impatient to see him, and only let the Wang family salute and leave every time. Now that the Wang family comes to ask for peace, the Xu family always has to ask a lot of questions, such as how is his body, of course, when he asks, the Wang family has to stand.
Shu Chengye was busy until midnight every day because of the handover of official business. Xu's reason is even more justified - when the lady is busy, shouldn't it be the turn of the concubine to serve the master? What the? With a maid? That's not okay at all, our master's name is not allowed to be tarnished, just accepted a concubine, you have to accept another one, don't you do it when you pass it out?
The old lady watched it for three or four days, and without waiting for Xu's success, she made a decisive move - Shu Manyao was taking care of the affairs of Ronghuayuan, and her old man was bored, so she asked Aunt Wang to come over and talk. As for Aunt Wang's salute, what are the maids for? Yinhuan is still an old lady coming out here, has she taken the name of a big girl for nothing?
Xu didn't mind, and nodded with a smile: "What my mother said is that Sister Wang has a body, and she can't be so tired, she can talk and chat on your side, but she can nourish her body by the way." Speaking of which, I was also negligent, Sister Wang has a body, so I shouldn't let her work so hard. ”
Xu's face was a little worried: "I don't know how my sister's body is these days, mother, why don't you invite Dr. Song to come over and take a look?" Although Doctor Song only treated his masters in the past, the current situation should be accommodating, after all, what is in Sister Wang's belly is also the heir of our Shu family. ”
Her behavior surprised the old lady. However, the old lady did not object to her proposal, the sky is big, and Wang's belly is the largest, so she sent Jin Zhu beside her to personally invite Dr. Song to come over and check Wang's pulse.
"Auntie's body is very good." Doctor Song put away his hand, touched his beard and said, "It's just that I'm a little tired these days, and it's not in the way, as long as I rest for two more days." ”
"Will you be able to travel in a few days?" Xu's face was worried, and Dr. Song nodded slowly: "Yes, besides, my grandson, although he is young, has followed me to study medicine all these years, and he has seven or eight points of heat, and with him with him, my aunt doesn't have to worry." ”
Xu's face immediately changed: "Little Doctor Song followed?" ”
The old lady nodded with a smile: "I'm afraid you don't know yet, right?" Doctor Song plans to let Little Doctor Song follow us to the capital. In the past few years, he has followed Dr. Song to practice medicine, and Dr. Song is also a little famous, and when the time comes, Chengye will write a letter of recommendation, and next year the hospital will hold an assessment, and Dr. Song wants to try. ”
What is your biggest goal as a doctor? Of course, it's to enter the Tai Hospital, but if you can't get into the Tai Hospital, it is also an honor to be rewarded by the Tai Hospital.
It's like a scholar wants to take the imperial examination, and if he becomes a doctor, he also aims to become an imperial doctor.
It's just that the hospital is not so close. The first condition is to be recommended by local officials, and secondly, to go through the triennial imperial examination of the Ministry of Rites. Zuihou, who studied in Tai Hospital for three years, was assessed four times a year, and those who failed would be brushed off immediately. After three years of perseverance, you can enter the hospital.
The handkerchief in Xu's hand was about to be twisted, but a happy smile immediately appeared on his face: "Really? Dr. Song wants to go to Beijing with us? Then I'm finally relieved, Sister Wang's body is taken care of by Dr. Song, and I'm not afraid of anything happening on the road. Doctor Song, don't worry, I will definitely send someone to take care of Dr. Song. ”
Even if he hates it so much at this time, Xu doesn't dare to offend Dr. Song too much, who knows if Dr. Song will enter the Tai Hospital and become a doctor in the future? offended the imperial doctor, and I don't know how to die. You must know that the Imperial Doctor is the closest person to the entire royal family and noble officials.
"Thank you, Mrs. Shu." Doctor Song hurriedly saluted and thanked him: "Yuan'er is young, and he is not familiar with the capital, so when the time comes, I will ask the old lady and Master Shu, as well as Mrs. Shu to take care of them." ”
The old lady responded directly before Xu Shi spoke: "Do you need to say this?" What kind of friendship do we have? You just have to rest assured, Yuan'er is like my own grandson in my heart, and I will definitely not let Yuan'er have anything in front of my eyes. You, just wait for the blessings of Yuan'er in three years. ”
Everyone talked and laughed, but Xu was rarely quiet. When she returned to her yard, Xu smashed the beauty bottle on the table, and the breath in her heart still didn't come out, she always felt that since the last time Shu Manyao's cheap girl was sick, even God seemed to be right with her, what she did wrong, what she thought bad!
"Sure enough, Mother Cao is right, that dead girl is fighting back with me!" Xu gritted his teeth: "No, I can't just forget it, I can't leave the Wang family's slut, then leave the dead girl!" ”
Thinking about it, Xu raised his voice and called for vanilla and whispered a few words. Vanilla nodded again and again, and when she left the main courtyard, she left the house with a small basket. On the way, I met Yinzhu in the old lady's yard, and said a few words to Yinzhu with a smile.
"I'm thinking, we're going to leave Jiangnan East Road in a few days, how to say that we have also lived here for so many years, and we have been blessed by the gods and Buddhas, so Ming'er might as well take Man Yao and her sisters to Fayuan Temple to incense, first, to ask for a peace charm, to keep our journey safe, and second, to give Fayuan Temple some sesame oil money, thank the gods and Buddhas for their blessings over the years."
Xu said with a smile, folded his hands and recited the Buddha: "Besides, I also made a wish in front of the Buddha a few years ago, if Man Yao can be healthy, I will give three hundred taels of sesame oil to the Medicine King Buddha of Fayuan Temple, and now that Man Yao's body is getting better and better day by day, I should also take her to repay the wish." ”
The old lady believes in Buddha the most in her life, and the old lady really can't refuse Xu Shi to move out for such a reason. It's just that in the end, I don't worry about Man Yao and Xu being alone, and after thinking for a while, I said: "What you said also makes sense, you really should go and repay your wish." It just so happened that Man Yao copied a few volumes of Buddhist scriptures for me before, and Ming'er brought them, and I also went to the Buddha to recite them. ”
"Yes, the daughter-in-law is going to arrange the car?" Xu Shi hurriedly got up and said, the old lady nodded: "The three hundred taels of sesame oil money of the Medicine King Buddha will go from my side, and the rest will go from the Gongzhong." Ming'er asks for a few more peace charms, and it is clear that the master's talisman is not easy to get, so you bring more silver. ”
Xu responded one by one, and by the way, he informed the three Shu Manyao sisters.
Early the next morning, I took a carriage to Fayuan Temple. The abbot of Fayuan Temple got the letter early, took two little monks to wait outside, and when he saw the old lady, he made a salute: "I know that the old lady is coming today, Fayuan Temple is closed for a day today, and the incense of the head pillar is also kept." ”
"Thank you, Abbot." The old lady also hurriedly folded her hands in return: "Speaking of which, over the years, thanks to the abbot's care, the everlasting lamp of the Shu family can not be extinguished for many years, and my Shu family has this peaceful and joyful day." A few days later, the Shu family is going to move out, and the old man still has one thing to ask the abbot. ”
"Old lady, please speak." The abbot said with a smile, and the old lady said while walking inside: "This ever-bright lantern, I want to move to the capital, I don't know if the abbot has a way?" ”
As long as the lantern is lit, it cannot be easily extinguished, otherwise it will be sick or bad. Originally, the old lady was also reluctant to stop at Jiangnan East Road, but when Shu Chengye first took his family to Jiangnan East Road, the family was old and young, and they were sick all day long. When the old lady was at her worst, she almost gave up.
Later, when the incense was offered in Fayuan Temple, the everlasting lamp was lit, and since then the family has slowly become healthy. Since then, the old lady began to believe in Buddhism, and even handed over the family affairs to the Xu family after the Xu family entered the door, and she only took care of her eldest granddaughter with peace of mind.
"The old lady can ask people to light the ever-bright lantern in the temple in the capital, light it for three years, and then bring the Buddha statue that Master Ran has opened the light. After three years, this side will be destroyed. The abbot thought for a while and said, and the old lady hurriedly nodded: "Okay, then the old body will listen to the abbot, and the old body will go to ask for the Buddha statue after a while." ”
As he spoke, a few people entered the main hall, and the abbot had other things, so he didn't accompany him all the way, but only called the little novice to lead the way. The old lady worshiped the Buddha all the way, from the main hall to the apse, all of them were incense, especially the Medicine King Buddha, and she worshipped three times devoutly.
Xu Shi followed behind, and saw that Shu Manyu seemed to be a little bored, so he whispered to her: "Be respectful in front of the Buddha, don't neglect the Buddha, and wait for you to go out to play later." ”
Shu Manyu pursed his lips, but he didn't make a sound, and only followed the old lady Hao Xu to worship the Buddha one after another. After a lap, it was almost time for lunch, and the old lady was old, so she had to take a nap after lunch.
Xu Shi waited for the old lady to fall asleep on the side: "Their little girls are young and impatient to sit here, why don't I take care of my mother and let them go out to play for a while?" ”
The old lady looked at the granddaughters who were standing on both sides, and frowned slightly, although she didn't expect these people to be like intimate and affectionate haode and a person, and they couldn't meet like enemies without even saying hello, right? Not to mention that it is uncomfortable to watch at home, if it is seen by outsiders, what will it become?
When people are old, they want to see their families and Lele more, and the younger generations will be reunited. Maybe, after the sisters have been together for a long time, they will be able to say a few words? It's not a deep hatred, between sisters, but they have been getting along for more than ten years.
"It's okay, let Yao's mother follow." It's just that in the end, she can't rest assured, the old lady smiled and ordered: "Mother Yao is older and steady, she can watch these girls, don't let them go to dangerous places." ”
