It was the voice of the little novice from before: "Female donor, Master Yilan is invited." ”

Ruan Shu was stunned - huh? A master of the light? Wasn't that a lie to her?

Wen Ye let go of her at this point.

Ruan Shu looked at him suspiciously.

"Don't you want to see the old bald donkey? Not going now? Wen Ye played with her anti-wolf electric baton, pressing her thumb back and forth on the switch, turning it on and off for a while.

The little novice outside didn't hear her response, and knocked on the door again: "Female donor? ”

Ruan Shu didn't want to stay here longer, his cold gaze swept over him, and he quickly answered the door.

"Thank you, little master."

After thanking her, she followed the little novice and walked away, and even glanced back uneasily, but she was relieved that she had not seen the wild man.

This time I went to a hall very close to the meditation room, and a consecration ceremony had just been completed in the hall, and the person who presided over the consecration ceremony was the master of a lamp, who was standing at the door of the hall to say goodbye to the owner.

After the victim left, Master Yilan turned around, and the little novice spoke: "Master, the female benefactor has been invited." ”

Ruan Shu hurriedly put his hands together and bowed slightly: "Master." ”

"Female donor, I haven't seen you for a long time, I heard that you looked for the old man for a day yesterday." The Master of the One Light gestured in a certain direction.

Ruan Shu was slightly embarrassed, with a smile on his face, and chatted with him as he walked: "I'm sorry master, some of my actions yesterday were really inappropriate, and they may disturb you and the rest of the masters in the temple." ”

"The female benefactor is too worried." The master of the lamp waved his hand, "Nothing to disturb, no disturbance." The land of Buddhism accepts all those who need it. ”

Ruan Shu organized the appropriate wording and said, "On the day my mother passed away, the master invited me to come to the temple to discuss the Dharma with you when I was free. In addition, he also asked the master about something, so he came rashly this time. ”

Master Yideng stroked his long beard: "The old man has been waiting for the female benefactor for a long time. ”

Ruan Shu's heart moved slightly, unsure if his words had another meaning.

I heard Master Yideng ask: "The female donor just said that she has something to ask, I don't know why?" ”

After a little thought, he felt that he ran to Zhuang Peiyu as soon as he opened his mouth, which was too direct, Ruan Shu picked up a topic first: "When I came to the temple a while ago, when I met the master under the marriage tree, the master told me that my marriage with my husband was bumpy, and I don't know how to explain it?" ”

"Isn't the female benefactor not believing in Buddhism?" Master Yilan asked rhetorically.

"......" Ruan Shu was slightly embarrassed. In fact, she did despise these numerology theories at that time, but when she went to the marriage tree yesterday, she suddenly remembered it again. Just now I just wanted to talk about something else first, so I asked casually, but I accidentally got myself into a pit.

But this one-lamp master is also quite unkind, and he has nothing to do to expose her......

Master Yideng didn't seem to feel that his rhetorical question caused her embarrassment, smiled, as if he knew her psychology very well, and asked confirmatively: "Does the female benefactor really want to listen?" ”

It's all here, of course Ruan Shu has to nod: "Master, but it's okay to say it." ”

Master Yilan stroked his beard and no longer scrupled: "In fact, it is mainly on the birthday of the female benefactor, and the lonely widow is destined at the same time." ”

"Lonely and widowed?" Ruan Shu didn't understand this word.

"Hmm. Lonely and widowed. "The master of a lamp said, "'The young and fatherless are said to be lonely, the old and the husband is said to be widowed', there is a saying in the eight-character number that 'men are jealous of loneliness, and women are jealous of widowhood', but the female benefactor is lonely and widowed at the same time, that is, 'life with loneliness and widowhood must eventually be lonely.'" ”

Ruan Shu frowned.

"Since you are a woman, then 'Lonely' is independent for you. The five elements of the widow star belong to Ding Huo, the female life sees the widow, the lord Kefu, especially does not like to enter the life body and the husband and wife palace, the lord marriage is not smooth, and there is a tendency to be celibate. Often the fate of the six relatives is weak. If you enter the palace of your parents, you will not have both parents or will not be cared for; If you enter the children's palace, you will meet the evil star, the fate will be weak, and it will be difficult to have children. ””

"The reason why Lao Wei used to phrase 'I'm afraid of a bumpy marriage' is because he has not yet given the female donor a life chart, and he is not sure whether the female donor will enter the conjugal palace. As Fang Cai said, the woman is most afraid of the death of the widow in the land of the husband star or the sun pillar, which will cause the regret of fate for a long time. ”

Ruan Shu was stunned.

Master Yideng looked at her face, and then said: "The female benefactor is cold and arrogant, but in fact, her heart is fragile, her personality is mostly contradictory and suspicious, and she is more persistent, but she is selfish, and she is more impersonal, and she is easy to hurt others. ”

"In addition, this tear mole under the corner of the female benefactor's eye, according to numerology, also has the meaning of a lone star as fate, as the saying goes, 'a lifetime of flowing water, a lifetime of fluttering'."

Hearing this, Ruan Shu subconsciously raised his finger, touched the location of the mole on his face with his impression, digested a series of words that sounded quite esoteric in his mind, and quickly summed up what he meant: In short, will she die alone? Is it the so-called "orphan life"?

I don't know what kind of psychology it is, she curled the corners of her lips and smiled.

But I have to say that the master is the master, and the fortune teller has a very good set of characters - what personality is contradictory and suspicious, what is fatherless at a young age, and her parents are not perfect, she can't argue at all; And the problem of the weak fate of children and grandchildren, she didn't want to have children in the first place, and she had two more before, has it been fulfilled? As for the marriage not going well, isn't she divorcing Fu Lingyuan?

She has not finished her life yet, and she can't confirm whether she will die alone for the time being, but if she signed a contract with Fu Lingyuan for the sake of the Lin family, she also doesn't plan to get married.

So after picking them out one by one and straightening them out, there is no need to put them on the plate. Because no matter what the result of the plating is, whether it is the parents' palace or the children's palace or the most taboo husband and wife palace, the words of the master of the lamp seem to be accurate.

Ruan Shu looked at him, pursed her lips, and wondered in her heart, according to the usual practice, should she ask him the solution next?

But after listening to the words, she didn't actually feel miserable, and she didn't want to resolve it.

Master One Lamp paused for a few seconds, as if waiting for her reaction.

Ruan Shu replied to him: "I understand, thank you master for telling me this, it's the first time I've read my past life so clearly, and I think this kind of eight characters is very suitable for me." If I am really alone when I am old, it is very good, it means that I can live freely and freely without worries. ”

"The female benefactor has a good attitude." The master of Yideng sighed when he heard the words, his eyes were bright, there was a vague hint of appreciation, and his eyes were deeply hidden with a kind of wisdom.

The linden tree above the head is lush and carries shade. Ruan Shu curled his lips slightly, silent in response to his compliment.

Probably seeing that she didn't have a deeper understanding of Bazi's desire, Master Yideng took the initiative to change the topic: "The female benefactor specially came to the Reclining Buddha Temple to find the old man, shouldn't it be just for this matter?" ”

"Master Clear." Ruan Shu smiled lightly, "I came today mainly to ask my mother about some things in the past. ”

"What does the benefactor want to know? The old man answered as much as he could. Master One Lamp asked.

Ruan Shu started with the ever-bright lantern: "I want to ask, can I remove the ever-bright lantern that my mother offered for me?" ”

"Is it convenient to understand why the female benefactor wants to remove her own lantern?" A lamp master inquiry.

"Because I don't think it's necessary." Ruan Shu said softly.

Master Yideng glanced at her, didn't ask any more, and said, "Lingtang donates a lot of sesame oil money to this temple every year. Since Ling Tang has passed away, the female benefactor naturally has the right to decide whether to continue to provide the lantern on behalf of Ling Tang. However, if the female donor wants to withdraw today, I am afraid it will be a little inconvenient. ”

He explained: "All the ever-bright lanterns in this temple are generally counted and sorted out every three months, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the gods if they are transferred too frequently." The most recent one, just a few days ago, the female benefactor came late and could only wait for the next time. ”

It doesn't matter, and it's not the point. Ruan Shu nodded without hesitation: "Well, okay, thank you, master." ”

After a pause, she took the opportunity to ask: "My mother is in the Reclining Buddha Temple, is there nothing else except the ever-bright lamp?" ”

"What does the other stuff mean?"

"For example, something like a lantern, or...... What did you leave behind? The latter sentence was a little more direct, and Ruan Shu added an explanation, "I want to help my mother sort out all the relics." ”

"Leave something?" Master Yilan still seemed to think that her question was a little strange.

Ruan Shu asked, of course, he didn't think that Zhuang Peiyu could hide 200 million directly in the temple, but ...... She couldn't say the specifics, it was just a feeling. It's a very inexplicable and natural feeling.

She tried to ask again, "How many times did Master Yideng discuss the Dharma with his mother?" ”

Master Yilan stroked his beard, as if reminiscing, and then said: "The old man told the female benefactor before that since I presided over the conversion ceremony for Ling Tang, I have never seen Ling Tang again, and I only regularly receive her sesame oil money for the Changming lamp every year. As for the refuge ceremony, Ling Tang did come to the temple of the reclining Buddha a few times, and it was on those occasions that he prepared for the refuge. ”

Ruan Shu pursed her lips, not knowing what to ask next. Like a headless fly, it seems that he can't ask the key points, and he can't ask anything valuable.

After a moment's pause, she took out the string of Buddhist beads from her bag: "I remember that in the summer of more than ten years ago, on August 2, my mother came to the Reclining Buddha Temple, I wonder if she came to find the master at that time?" This string of Buddhist beads was brought out by my mother from the Temple of the Reclining Buddha at that time. ”

"The summer of more than ten years ago...... August 2......? Master Yideng didn't seem to have a good idea of the specific time, but when he saw the Buddha beads, he first recognized them: "Well, yes, this string of Buddha beads is indeed from this temple, and it was given to Lingtang by the old man back then." ”

Ruan Shu was about to say something more.

Master Yideng suddenly showed a hint of confusion, took the Buddha beads from her hand, twisted them a few times in her hand, and said, "This string of Buddha beads is incomplete. ”

Well? Ruan Shu didn't understand for a while: "What does it mean to be 'incomplete'?" ”

Master Yilan explained: "It should have one hundred and eight Buddha beads, but it is missing one. ”

"One less?" Ruan Shu was stunned - how could there be one less?

Her eyes were firmly fixed on the Buddha beads, and her thoughts raced quickly.

Each bead is the same size, the color is all black, and the whole string is placed there, and no one will count how many beads there are. But this does not include Zhuang Peiyu, Zhuang Peiyu must know that there are few Buddha beads. This string of Buddhist beads has been with her for ten years, and the person who is most familiar with the Buddhist beads is her.

The question is, were the missing beads taken away? Or did Zhuang Peiyu take it out herself? And when was it taken away?

Master Yideng found the rope end of the Buddha bead at this time: "Look at the appearance of this rope burning, it should be some years." ”

Ruan Shu leaned his eyes to confirm it, and suddenly had another thought in his heart - this means that the missing Buddha bead is not something that has just been lost recently!

Some years...... Some years......

As Fang Cai considered, Zhuang Peiyu must know that she has few Buddha beads. But if the Buddha beads were missing a few years ago, it means that Zhuang Peiyu herself is aware, otherwise she would not be able to pretend to be nothing, holding a string of incomplete Buddha beads to chant to the Buddha every day.

Now that she knows, and in the past ten years, she has not had any contact with anyone other than the Lin family at all, and the biggest possibility is that she took out one of the Buddha beads herself! And she couldn't have removed a Buddha bead for no reason! There must be some special reason!

Ruan Shu was slightly excited in his heart, although he didn't know if the missing Buddha beads were related to 200 million, but he finally had a suspicious clue to check, and it was no longer like a pool of stagnant water like before.

So now a new question arises: where is the missing bead?

“…… Female benefactor? ...... female benefactor? ”

The call of the Master of One Lamp pulled her back into deep thought.

"I'm sorry." Ruan Shu hurriedly apologized - he was immersed in the world of his thoughts for a while, forgetting that he was talking to Master Yilan now.

Master Yilan took her look and didn't blame anything, just returned the Buddha beads to her.

"Are there any other problems with this string of beads?" Ruan Shu confirmed with him. Even though she has seen Zhuang Peiyu holding it every day for ten years, she has no understanding of this string of Buddhist beads. Now that Zhuang Peiyu has passed away, I am afraid that the only person who knows more is the master of a lamp.

Master Yideng glanced at the Buddha beads, smiled and shook his head: "The old man can't see anything wrong with it. ”

Immediately, his tone was a little emotional: "I haven't seen it for ten years, it's like seeing an old friend." It was consecrated by the old man himself. There are many people who take the initiative to take Buddha beads to make Lao Qu consecrate, but there are not many Buddha beads sent out by Lao Ge himself, so he is very impressed. ”

Ruan Shu clenched the Buddha beads tightly and asked curiously: "If you can get a lamp master to open the light and give it away, the preciousness of this string of Buddha beads can be seen." So what was the opportunity for my mother to get the gift of a lamp master? ”

Master Yideng stroked his long beard: "It's all Buddha's fate." ”

He smiled meaningfully, and his words were even more routine.

Ruan Shu was a little skeptical about the authenticity of this mysterious answer, but he couldn't find the reason why Master Yideng avoided talking about Tai Chi. And she didn't want to ask.

It was very rude for her to leave immediately after asking what she wanted to ask, and she was secretly thinking about what topic to find next, and then she had two mouths, and it happened that the little novice came over and reminded Master Yideng that he was going to give a scripture lesson to the monks next.

Ruan Shu naturally took the opportunity to leave: "Since the master still has something to do, then I won't bother." If you are confused another day, come to the master again to mention one or two, and I hope to meet the master again. ”

"Okay, the female benefactor walks slowly. Wat Pho and Lao Ko both welcome female donors at any time. Master Yilan folded his hands in salute, turned and stepped up the stairs and into the porch.

Wen Ye suddenly appeared from the corner, swept his eyes in the direction where Ruan Shu's back disappeared, turned his eyes back and asked Master Yideng: "Hey, old bald donkey, why did she come to you?" What have you been talking about for so long? ”

Master Yideng smiled without saying a word, and went straight away from him, while reminding: "Let's go, it's time for class." ”

Wen Ye rolled his eyes, holding the anti-wolf electric rod in his hand, and grabbed it from side to side with his two hands, chasing behind Master Yilan to explore: "Let me ask you something, old bald donkey!" Answer me quickly! ……”

……

After visiting Master Yideng, Ruan Shu had nothing else to do, and after consulting with the bodyguards, she learned that the matter between Chen Qingzhou and Fu Qingci was not over, so she walked around the temple at will, holding the Buddha beads in her hand, pondering the information she had just learned from Master Yideng in her heart, and sorting out her thoughts.

Because there were no other clues for the time being, she focused on finding the Buddha bead that was deliberately taken away by Zhuang Peiyu.

Well, the idea is clear, the problem is that this task is so difficult to complete, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and it is such a small Buddha bead.

Although Zhuang Peiyu has not been out of the door for ten years, it does not mean that she has not used other methods to get the Buddha beads outside the Lin Mansion. It's just that it seems that the possibility is relatively small at present, so she has to start from the inside of the Lin Mansion where the possibility is relatively large.

This means that she has to go back to the forest house again.

Within the field of vision, at this time, Leng Buding found the figures of Chen Qingzhou and Fu Qingci, both of whom were in the outer circle of the disease removal pool.

One by one, the people in the queue brought water to the vessels they had brought.

Chen Qingzhou waited at the exit of the line, discussing something with the people who had just finished receiving the water one by one.

Fu Qingci clasped his arms and stood aside as if he had nothing to do with himself, with a mocking expression.

Ruan Shu basically understood the situation, and dared to feel that Chen Qingzhou wanted the holy water in the healing pool, but he didn't line up.

When she walked over, she heard Chen Qingzhou bidding for 100,000 yuan, and she couldn't help but be shocked - it's just the spring water that was drawn down from the mountain, as for it?

However, even with such a high price, after the other party hesitated for a while, he still didn't sell: "I flew all the way from other places, and I am about to fly back, and there are old people at home waiting for me to bring holy water back." You'd better ask the people behind you and buy it from them. ”

As he was talking, the next person who finished filling the water came out, and without waiting for Chen Qingzhou to ask, the other party directly asked for the price: "200,000, give me the cash immediately, and I will sell it to you." ”

Ruan Shu stared at the small bottle that was only about two hundred and fifty milliliters, and frowned - robbing this, right?

However, in the next second, her brows furrowed even more, because Chen Qingzhou actually agreed!

"I don't have the cash on hand now, but I can give you the bank card directly, there are 250,000 in it, and I will give it all to you." Chen Qingzhou said as he pulled out his bank card from his wallet.

Ruan Shu: "......" is crazy......

The other party tucked the bottle containing the holy water behind him as if he was hiding a treasure, and questioned: "How do I know if you really have so much money in this card?" What if you're lying to me? ”

Chen Qingzhou frowned slightly: "Then what do you want to do?" Ordinary people don't casually carry 200,000 yuan in cash in their pockets. I really only have cards to give you. ”

The other party said: "There is a bank in the business district, you take the card with me, I confirm the amount from the bank, and then pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other." ”

Chen Qingzhou looked very easy to speak, and immediately nodded: "Okay, you can." ”

"What are you doing?!" Fu Qingci suddenly spoke up, and when he opened his mouth, he scolded Chen Qingzhou, "You are sick, do you spend 250,000 yuan to buy this water?" ”

Turning her head, she looked at the person who was asking again: "You're sicker!" The lion opened his mouth to rob while the fire was burning, and what about you? Your behavior is no different from that of a scalper! I'll arrest you and take you to the police station now, and I can immediately convict you of disrupting the order of the market!" Violations of law and discipline can never be erased after the file is recorded! If you don't want to be caught, take your holy water and leave! It's a fool to buy water from you! ”

The man seemed to be frightened by Fu Qingci's momentum, and perhaps also frightened by her words, so he staggered and left, muttering before leaving: "Originally, that fool was buying water from people everywhere......"

As a bystander, Ruan Shu: "......" How did she think that person was right......

Fu Qingci's thoughts were obviously the same, but she said directly: "Chen Qingzhou, you are enough." Didn't everyone think you were a fool? ”

Chen Qingzhou's eyes were dark: "Since we didn't line up today, let's stay for another night tonight." With experience, I'll come early tomorrow morning and line up. ”

"Neuropathy." Fu Qingci couldn't bear it, "If you want to live by yourself, I said that I would go back today, and I won't stay anymore!" ”

Chen Qingzhou was silent for a while, and suddenly called Rong Yi: "Go and get the person back just now, and say that I want to buy his water." ”

"Chen Qingzhou!" Fu Qingci said angrily, "It's useless! Don't fool yourself, it's been in vain! I can't give birth to it, I can't give birth! What's the use of this water roof! ”

"Everyone says that the water in the healing pool is also useful for those who want to have children. I won't let it go. Chen Qingzhou still spoke softly, as if his emotions were not disturbed, but with a strong stubbornness.

Fu Qingci instantly hit the cotton like a fist, and he didn't know what else to persuade him when he opened his mouth, his eyes were extremely complicated. The mobile phone in her hand suddenly vibrate, she hurriedly looked down, and after seeing the caller ID on the screen clearly, she didn't care about messing around with him anymore, and immediately said, "I'll answer the phone!" ”

Without waiting for Chen Qingzhou to react, she hurriedly avoided under the tree, and immediately crossed the answer button: "Hey! ”

"Miss Fu." It was the voice of the babysitter.

"How is Yan Xi now?" Fu Qing's tone was anxious.

"The fever has just subsided a little, but it still can't go down completely. The doctor also had no choice, saying that children with chickenpox are like this, and they can only be isolated at home to take care of, and they can't take antipyretics, otherwise they are prone to complications, and they can only eat fruits and boiled water. I did all the other things I had to do. ”

Fu Qingci himself has little experience, so he searched for some tips he learned on the Internet last night and reminded: "You must prevent him from catching it with his own hands." ”

"Miss Fu, rest assured, the little master is very well-behaved and sensible, and he is also very cooperative. Nothing else is fine, but I just asked me, Miss Fu, are you still catching bad guys, so you can't come back to see him. ”

Hearing this, Fu Qingci's eyes were hot suddenly, and a warm liquid was about to pop out, she hurriedly raised her face slightly, forcibly suppressed it, her voice was a little choked, and asked, "Where is he now?" Do you want to rest in your room? ”

"Hmm. in the room. The little master's appetite was not very good, and he didn't eat much in the morning. A child who is usually not a picky eater, now he obviously can't eat, and in order to get better as soon as possible, he is reluctant to eat by himself, I look strange and distressed. ”

Fu Qingci's eyes were hot again, and he couldn't suppress his tears: "I'm sorry...... You must apologize to him for me, I didn't mean not to see his ......"

Before she could speak again, Chen Qingzhou's voice came from behind her: "Who are you talking to on the phone?" ”
