Chapter 429: There is no Buddha in my heart
This small Buddha hall is very simple, the Buddha hall is in the middle of a tall Bodhisattva, there is a gilded incense burner on the desk in front of the Bodhisattva, the incense burner is offered with three pillars of incense, the incense has not been burned out, there is a light smoke, there is an elegant sandalwood fragrance in the room, and Mrs. Chu is kneeling on a futon in front of the incense case, holding Buddha beads, is closing her eyes and muttering something?
Gu Mingzhu used to be disrespectful to ghosts and gods, and she scoffed at these things, although she had visited many ancient temples and temples before, she had a playful attitude of appreciation, and followed the public to worship on incense.
Since the crossing, her attitude towards the Bodhisattva has also become rigorous and serious.
She couldn't help but believe that there are really ghosts and gods in this world, and she is a living example.
In front of the Bodhisattva, Gu Mingzhu bowed respectfully three times, then stood aside, looking at Mrs. Chu's devout attitude of reciting scriptures, Gu Mingzhu couldn't bear to disturb.
I don't know if Mrs. Chu is too dedicated to the Buddha, as if she forgot Gu Mingzhu, Gu Mingzhu stood for two hours, and one hour in ancient times was two hours, that is to say, Gu Mingzhu stood for four hours, and most of the time passed like this.
Gu Mingzhu's legs were sore, and he looked at Mrs. Chu who was kneeling on the futon, she was so old and had been kneeling for so long. Can her legs stand it?
If you don't have a Buddha in your heart, why should you worship the Buddha?
Gu Mingzhu still has a lot of things to do! Strawberry seedlings and vegetable seedlings should be planted on the barren beach, the tea trees planted on the back mountain should be watered due to the dry weather, the winter wheat should be fertilized again before the snow, and the sister-in-law of the cloth shop was urging the goods again, so she had to quickly recruit manpower to catch up with the ...... of the last batch of new goods before the New Year.
Although these things are done by asking people to do them, they can give orders, and she has to be there in person to make up the idea.
She didn't have so much time to accompany Mrs. Chu to wait here.
Mrs. Chu obviously wanted to give herself a dismissal, and then talk about Ling Feng's affairs.
Gu Mingzhu can't leave now if she wants to, she can't fall into the reputation of being unfilial to her mother-in-law.
It's a lot older, and I haven't seen through it yet, so I came with her like this.
Just when Gu Mingzhu was upset, Mrs. Chu slowly stood up from the futon, probably after kneeling for a long time, when she stood up, her legs were a little weak, and she stumbled, and almost knelt down again. A slender hand supported her in time, and when she looked up, she saw Gu Mingzhu's worried and distressed Furong face.
"Mother-in-law, be careful!" Although Gu Mingzhu despised Mrs. Chu's approach in her heart, Gu Mingzhu still showed due respect and filial piety to her actual mother-in-law.
Mrs. Chu was stunned, she was just praying in this small Buddha hall, she hadn't seen her for more than ten days, and her daughter-in-law seemed to be getting better and better the older she was.
Looking at it so closely, it is not inferior to the daughter of the century-old family.
Thinking of the bowl of health soup that her daughter-in-law boiled for herself every day, Mrs. Chu actually felt guilty, in fact, aside from Gu Mingzhu's lack of prominent family status, this daughter-in-law still called herself very happy.
If it is in an ordinary family, such a daughter-in-law is very favored by her mother-in-law.
People are beautiful and can make money, and no mother-in-law will dislike such a daughter-in-law.
It's a pity that his son is a general, and what he needs is not a beautiful and capable country girl, what he needs is a powerful daughter who can help him.
Ling Feng is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
For the sake of her son, she can't take care of it so much.
ruthlessly, he shook off Gu Mingzhu's hand and stood up by himself.
Said lightly, "Sit and talk!" ”
Gu Mingzhu ignored Mrs. Chu's throwing arm, and stepped forward to help Mrs. Chu again, "Mother-in-law, I'll still support you!" You've been kneeling for too long, and your legs are still sore? Holding on, you won't be able to wrestle after all. ”
Mrs. Chu's body stiffened, and her body, which wanted to struggle, suddenly complied, and let Gu Mingzhu help her to sit down at the table on the side, Gu Mingzhu also sat on the chair on the other side and stood for a long time. The leg has long been sore.
Mrs. Chu, who was originally going to let Gu Mingzhu stand, had her eyes flashing, but she didn't say anything in the end?
"Mother-in-law, I don't know what you called your daughter-in-law for? I heard that you went to the backyard early in the morning to find your daughter-in-law, I'm really embarrassed, yesterday the general invited Mu Er...... Oh, it's the handsome boy who lives in our house, he is the nephew of the prime minister of the dynasty, and the eldest son of the Mu family's big house, the daughter-in-law was persuaded by him to drink a few more glasses of wine, so she drank too much, and the daughter-in-law was reckless, and she couldn't get up in time in the morning, and I hope my wife will forgive me. ”
Gu Mingzhu was talking nonsense seriously, he was drunk, and he relied on Mu Er.
If Mu Er was here, maybe he would point at her nose and scold her for being brazen!
Gu Mingzhu imagined that scene and couldn't help laughing. Can't she let Mrs. Chu see anything?
"What? That son turned out to be the nephew of the prime minister of the dynasty. Mrs. Chu was a little surprised that Mu Er's identity was so noble, but Gu Mingzhu was drunk for her son to accompany that noble son.
Mrs. Chu wanted to blame Gu Mingzhu, but she couldn't say anything.
Although Mrs. Chu didn't understand the affairs of the court, she had heard of Prime Minister Mu, and it was not an exaggeration to say that the Mu family was powerful.
With such a Mu family, Mrs. Chu felt that she should make more friends, which would help her son in the court.
Mrs. Chu naturally didn't know that the Mu family and her son were actually mortal enemies.
"Since it is a guest in the capital, it is necessary to entertain well, but we can't slack off, but I am afraid that the restaurant in our town has nothing to entertain the guests, so we should not send someone to Fucheng to purchase some good ingredients and come back to entertain this guest."
"Mother-in-law, this is not necessary, I see that this son seems to be very satisfied with our family's hospitality, otherwise he would have left a long time ago, and he would have stayed until now."
"It's also, what a picky mouth the prince of the capital! Being able to stay for so many days shows that the hospitality in our house is okay" Mrs. Chu knows that Gu Mingzhu's cooking is delicious, and it is not worse than the chef in the restaurant in the capital.
The corners of Gu Mingzhu's mouth twitched.
Still picky? That Mu Er didn't stop until he ate himself. Full foodie.
In this way, his daughter-in-law seems to be not bad, and she can handle everything.
Mrs. Chu was a little shaken.
Later, she turned her heart sideways, isn't it just a concubine, why should she listen to her daughter-in-law's opinion.
"O pearl! You also know how lively it is that the current official, who is not a third wife and four concubines! During the New Year's holidays, there is a large table of people, and the meal is more lively, you see Chu Jing's backyard, it is deserted, ....... ”
When Gu Mingzhu heard this, it was time for the main event. Mrs. Chu has been beating around the bush for a long time, just want to talk about this!
"Mother-in-law, since my cousin married Zhao Hongcai as a concubine, I have seen that the Zhao family is very ......lively, and I have also persuaded the general, saying that there are more people, who knows that the general is angry and said that if he marries those people who are restless, he will not have to go to war, and he will deal with the affairs of the backyard at home in the future. There is no peace at home all day long, what kind of war is there fighting? ”
