Return to Rongfu.

After dinner, Jia Wei was left alone by Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang.

Not again...... Looking at the sisters in the garden who left one after another outside the door, he retracted his gaze, and then looked at the old lady and wife in front of him, Jia Wei sat there with a helpless expression.

"Baoyu, today your aunt came over in person to inquire about the meaning of the old lady and me, and want to marry your cousin Qingyu to you. This family business, the door is right, the talented woman is good, needless to say that it is good, the old lady and I are all satisfied, Baoyu, what do you think? As Jia Wei expected, as soon as his mother opened her mouth, it was a topic of family affairs, but what he didn't expect was that now even his mother's maiden family, the Wang family, came to marry. Counting this family affair that is in the making, starting from the mother, this is the third time that the Wang family has married the Jia family.

Is Wang Qingyu's cousin?

Jia Wei had the face of this elegant and delicate girl in his mind.

The other party has a beautiful embryo, and it is the pearl of Wang Ziteng's palm, in the eyes of the elders, it is undoubtedly a good match, but for him, because of Xue Lin, he doesn't think about it.

In fact, since he served as the mayor of the princess's mansion, in just ten days, all relatives and friends have heard the wind and stepped through the threshold to say goodbye, including Liu Yuling of the Liguo Mansion, Feng Xiaoxiao of the Shenwei General's Mansion, Dong Qin of the Pingyang Hou Mansion, etc., when the old lady and the wife asked him for advice, he all declined.

Without thinking, he smiled and shook his head, "Old lady, madam, the child has just taken office, and he has no intention of thinking about marriage, and he will talk about it later." ”

Hearing this, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang glanced at each other, Jia Mu didn't say anything, but Mrs. Wang couldn't help but count in a hurry, "Baoyu, you say that every time." It's okay with those girls in front, cousin Qingyu, why don't you still look down on them? I'm your mother, I know what you're hiding, do you like your sister Bao or Sister Lin? ”

As she spoke, she straightened her face slightly, "You kid, now you are not as good as before, if it was before, I would have let you mess around, but now you are an official of the imperial court, how can you be hasty in marriage matters?" Think about it, who did your deceased brother marry, and who did your cousin Jia Lian marry? They are all parents and noble daughters. How much more about you? My son, it's not that my mother is hard-hearted and inconsiderate of you, your sister Bao and Sister Lin are not your good couples now, and you still broke off this thought. That's what the old lady meant. ”

When Jia Mu heard this, she nodded on the side.

Speaking of which, at that time, the holy decree came down, and the mansion was boiling.

Jia's mother, Jia Zheng and his wife were all overjoyed, and they originally thought that Yuan Chun would give Jia Wei a half-official position this year, but he quietly became the mayor of the town and the princess.

Sixteen years old, is the fourth grade, can be described as a bright future, unlimited, his father has been an official for many years, accumulated qualifications, just a chief officer of the fifth grade.

The change of identity, from the initial idle "rich idler", to the talented man Junyan who moved the Beijing Division, and then to the current court officials with a bright future, Jia's mother, Jia Zheng and his wife's various plans for Jia Wei are also constantly changing, and the same is true for family affairs.

Mother Jia was originally happy to see the "marriage of wood and stone", and Mrs. Wang recognized the "golden and jade relationship", but now her thoughts are completely different.

The house was quiet, and the sound of mandarin ducks and their voices was faintly heard on the porch outside, Jia Wei was silent with a tea cup in his hand, his mother's words were straightforward, and it couldn't be clearer, the old lady's nod also showed her attitude, but what could he say?

They were just thinking about him wholeheartedly.

What's more, even if these are aside, the old lady and the wife are completely up to him, and it is difficult for him to make a choice in the face of Xue Lin and the others.

He's always just running away, and he was, and he is.

After a while, coming out of Jia's mother's courtyard, Jia Wei went to the garden.

As a result of this conversation, he naturally did not compromise, and the old lady and the wife did not press too hard, and the matter hung there.

For the marriage with the Wang family, the old lady and the wife all attach importance to it, the wife needless to say, the mother's family is the Wang family, the old lady, from the first two marriages between the two houses, you can see her attitude.

Therefore, unlike before, he refused one by one before, and the old lady and wife were not reluctant, but this time they did not budge.

In Jia Wei's feeling, it seems to be back to the tug-of-war when he gave up school and started business, and the pressure is huge, or even excessive.

All the way into the garden, stepping into the Yihong Courtyard, the hall was empty, and there was no figure of sisters talking, and the attacker who greeted him explained, "Miss Bao and Miss Lin didn't come in to sit tonight, and the other girls sat for a while, and they dispersed early." ”

Jia Wei nodded, knowing in his heart.

These days, the news that various relatives and families came to talk about their relatives, Xue Lin and the others should have heard a lot, although they didn't ask him in person, but their expressions were depressed, which is enough to explain. Tonight, he was left alone by Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang again, and with their intelligence, it is not difficult to guess, so they avoided it in advance, so as to save each other from being uncomfortable when they met.

"Second master, since the girls are gone, and you have been busy outside for a day, it is better to rest earlier."

Looking at Jia Wei's expression, the attacker reminded softly from the side.

Recent events...... The delicate situation of the second master and Xue Lin from various relatives and families, she can roughly see it in her eyes, and she can vaguely understand the mood of the second master at the moment.

As the head concubine, her identity is sensitive, and she is not good at involving the topic of the future housewife, so she can only pretend to be confused, change the topic, and persuade the second master to rest.

"It's fine."

Jia Wei said in his mouth, stretched out his hand to pat the railing next to him, and was about to go to the backyard with the attacker, when his eyes swept over, and he caught a glimpse of the lights of the cui'an in the distance, and his mind moved, and then he changed his words, "Sister, you go in first, I'll go see Miaoyu and come back later." ”

When I came to the nunnery, I was led by my sister-in-law to the backyard Buddha hall as usual.

In the hall, Miaoyu clasped her hands together and sat down, Jia Wei walked in, took the futon, sat in front of her, and waited silently.

Unlike in the past, this time it didn't take long for Miaoyu to open her eyes, "Shenzhi, do you have something on your mind?" ”

Jia Wei couldn't help but be surprised, the other party was obviously meditating with his eyes closed, how could he perceive his thoughts? But I soon thought that Miaoyu had concluded that Xichun was very likely to become a monk, which was magical, and compared to it, the current situation was nothing.

This wonderful is very human.

After a little silence, Jia Wei brought out the troubles of his relatives who came to talk about his relatives recently, as well as the dilemma of facing Xue Lin and the others.

He has nothing to say to Miaoyu, not to mention, he came here to seek Miaoyu's explanation with Buddhism.

"Caution, you're within the threshold." Miaoyu listened quietly, without the explanation that Jia Wei imagined, just said such a sentence.

Jia Wei was stunned, and when she saw that she didn't say "inside and outside the threshold" as usual, she couldn't help asking, "What does this mean?" Does it mean that everything in the world is illusory, and there is no need to be attached? ”

"Arhats are also illusory, bodhisattvas are illusory, Buddhas are also illusory, and the Diamond Sutra itself is also illusory...... As it is often said, you and other bhikshus know my Dharma, like a raft of parables. The law should be abandoned, let alone illegal? Be cautious, not only is everything in the world illusory, but also the heavens, the earth and the universe are illusory. ”

Hearing this, Jia Wei was even more puzzled.

Miaoyu's words, in fact, he was very familiar with, and it was the content of the Diamond Sutra that she often recited for him, and which he also copied himself, which meant that the Dharma I had preached, was also illusory, but it was just a raft to get to the other side, and you had to abandon the raft after crossing the river. If the Dharma is like this, how much more so is there something outside the Dharma?

In short, the illusory in the Buddha's teachings, i.e., the fact that reality is not appearance, refers to the fact that everything that people perceive in the world is not the true essence.

He understood this, but Miaoyu followed his words and deliberately emphasized, what was the deep meaning?

After a while, Jia Wei asked.

Miaoyu didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically, "Can you break the illusion?" ”

Jia Wei shook his head.

"Can you let go and be at ease?"

Jia Wei shook his head again.

"Can you do samadhi?"

Jia Wei still shook his head.

The practice of eliminating all distracting thoughts and calming the mind is also included in the Diamond Sutra.

"Caution, you're within the threshold." At this point, Miaoyu mentioned the original words again.

Jia Wei's expression moved, and he immediately understood what Miaoyu was referring to, he couldn't even do the samadhi without criticism, let alone let go, be at ease, and even break the illusion.

As the other party said, he was within the threshold.

Being within the threshold, he is a layman, and many things cannot be put down or abandoned, and he admits that he is such a layman.

Every time I come back to the cui hermitage and listen to Miaoyu's chanting, I just want to get a moment of purity of my soul, not really want to become an outsider.

If this is the case, how can it be explained?

Miaoyu couldn't have made it clearer.

Thinking of this, Jia Wei stopped talking.

Miaoyu didn't say much, and then chanted for him as usual, recited the scriptures, and the two of them had a cup of tea, and Jia Wei said goodbye and went down the mountain.

Walking slowly back to Yihong Courtyard along the way, Jia Wei felt that this trip to Huicui'an seemed to have gained nothing, and it seemed that he had gained something.

PS: Thanks for the reward of the whale ride!
