It stands to reason that the people in the old lady's room, Shen Anyan is not good at taking Qiao, and it is not good to ask too much.

It's just that this matter is like a thorn hanging over her heart, and she has to be sorted out, if she doesn't care about it, she is afraid that it will cause a catastrophe.

Shen Anyan let out a long sigh, "It's me who lost my manners, I shouldn't have disturbed my grandmother's leisure so much, it's just that when I was managing the account book, I saw that the old lady has been using incense frequently recently, and this money is not a big money, but the reason is not from the steward's house, so I think it's strange." ”

Mama Wang's eyes showed a soft luster, "The slave and maid know, and the old lady also understands, so I just asked the slave and maid to come over and warn him not to chew his tongue and just tell the truth." ”

Shen Anyan nodded, then glanced at the clay head, and only asked, "Where did you buy the incense and candles for the old lady, one by one." ”

That man was Fu'an, the son of the Hou family, and he had always been loyal.

I saw him bow and bow, and replied in a coveted voice: "Third girl, the slave went to a fragrant shop in the alley of East and West to buy it." ”

Shen Anyan turned his head and asked the steward, "Where does the Pingsuhou Mansion usually buy such things?" ”

"Generally, these sesame oil candles are purchased from Wu Ying's house, these things are the best in their house, the incense candles are made of good wax, and they don't smoke and choke people when they are burned, because the old lady turned to others, and the owner of these people also called someone to ask if there was a problem with the previous candle, so they didn't enter again."

The steward replied carefully, but Shen Anyan listened to it with awe, and only asked Fu'an, "When the old lady asked you to buy this sesame oil candle, did you ask why?" ”

The corners of Fu'an's mouth drooped with sorrow, "Where do the minions dare to ....... Once the old lady commands, the slave can only listen carefully. ”

Shen Anyan looked at Mama Wang, and when she saw her nodding, she had no choice but to give up.

Waiting for everyone to disperse, Mama Wang said through the bookcase of Huanghuali wood: "The three girls' worries, the old slave understands, it's just that when the Hou Ye was still in the past, the old lady has always been capable and assertive, but there have been too many things recently, although the old lady has not said it, but the old slave sees it in his eyes, the old lady's spirit does not have to be in the past, and she often has nightmares." ”

Shen Anyan listened to the shame and hummed, "The soothing soup is sent to Hanqing Courtyard, I just think it's ordinary, but I never think deeply that the old lady is hiding something in her heart, and she is tired, so she drinks the soothing soup to fall asleep." ”

Seeing her hanging her head and clogging herself, Mama Wang hurriedly reassured, "The third girl is also too careful, after all, this is the norm, and it is like this when you are old." ”

Shen Anyan muttered, "I thought so too, so at first I suddenly heard that my grandmother was spending money on these Buddha statues, and I didn't stop it, but the day before yesterday, I went to the old lady's room and smelled the old lady's fragrance and felt strange, which is why I have today." ”

She raised her eyes, and Mama Wang's mold was reflected in her thick black eyes, "....... I'm also afraid of ........."

Mama Wang only smiled, still in that reassuring tone, "Don't be afraid, if the third girl thinks something is wrong, just go to the old lady's room and recite the scriptures with the old lady. ”

That's an idea.

So in the afternoon, Shen Anyan took Qingling to Hanqing Courtyard.

The old lady worshipped the Buddha in the Buddhist hall as usual, Shen Anyan opened the curtain, and the smoke of the incense candles choked her so much that she couldn't help coughing a little, and she could only squint her eyes and see the old lady kneeling in the futon.

The candle flame was cast on the old lady's turquoise twig-patterned satin shirt, and the shadows flickered as the light of the fire jumped.

Shen Anyan only felt as if she had cotton in her throat, and it was difficult to speak, "Grandmother, why don't you open the window for a while?" ”

Mrs. Fang still held the Buddha beads and said with a smile: "If you get used to smelling it, you won't feel uncomfortable, and these smoke and dust are quite Zen, like the Buddha surrounds you, which makes people feel at ease." ”

Shen Anyan sighed and stepped in with one foot, "It's just that there is too much incense, and it's not good to smell too much." ”

These words may have touched the old lady's scales, and her face collapsed, and she only closed her eyes and bowed three times seriously, and then listened to her chant a few times before turning her head to look at Shen Anyan.

"These are the sound of the Buddha, there is no hindrance to the body, I have heard these recently, and I feel that the spirit is much more refreshing, you usually don't worship the Buddha, but you don't know these truths, but next time, you can't say it again, lest the Buddha hear the blame."

Shen Anyan saw that the old lady was no longer smiling, and she was a little ignorant, but she just turned around and said: "Those who don't know are not guilty, the Buddha has always been magnanimous, and he will definitely forgive the little woman for not choosing her words." ”

These words made Mrs. Fang iron a little, her face was a little cloudy, and she recited Sanskrit with her eyes closed.

Shen Anyan knelt on the side, knocking on the elm wood for her, and the deep and low voice hovered in the room, looking particularly ethereal.

Shen Anyan couldn't help but look at the old lady, her side face was solemn and peaceful, like a treasure print in front of the Buddha.

She was fascinated by it, and her eyes forgot to move, only to let the burning gaze provoke the old lady's sideways, "Sister Yan, you don't have to accompany me, you can't read those Sanskrit words, and you're only afraid of snubbing the Buddha by chanting the scriptures." ”

The corners of Shen Anyan's mouth sank, and suddenly laughed again, "It's better for me to follow my grandmother to worship the Buddha, although I don't understand it now, I will understand it one day in the future, and then this is always a matter of forgiving sins and accumulating merits, not only that, but I can also ask for my uncle, and bless my uncle with peace and happiness on the battlefield." ”

These words seemed to touch the softness of the old lady's heart, and she sighed, and did not say any more, only plucked the beads and chanted.

I don't know how long later, when the incense on the top was about to burn out, I heard the sound of the incense on the corridor, as if someone had jumped forward and shouted, "Where is Grandmother?" ”

Shen Anyan heard that it was Shen Fangrui, and she couldn't help but hit the wooden fish hard for a moment, attracting the old lady's side expectation, and then stood up with Shen Anyan's hand.

"Brother Rui is here."

Shen Anyan sighed, Nahan's eyes glanced at the old lady, and then watched the old lady pull out her clothes and pull the curtain out.

"Brother Rui, how can you have time to come here today?"

Shen Anyan, who followed behind, obviously heard the voice that Fang Cai said to himself much softer and more intimate.

Shen Anyan couldn't help but tighten the curtains, and Qingling came up from the shadows, "Sister." ”

Shen Anyan looked at Qingling, her face was half tilted, and there was a kind of sorrow in her eyes under the shadow of the sun.

Shen Anyan couldn't read that kind of sorrow, and she didn't know what she was worried about, but she just calmed down in a trance, led Qingling around the embroidery screen, and faced the old lady and Shen Fangrui.

"Isn't Uncle supposed to be in school today? How did you come to Hanqing Hospital? ”

Shen Anyan smiled leisurely, but in Shen Fangrui's eyes, he only made his face a little gloomy, "Today, the master went to school early, so I just had nothing to do, so I thought about coming to see my grandmother." ”
