Chapter 9: Flickering
"Grandpa, you think too highly of me, you are so good to me, and I am not sick, why do you want to pretend to be crazy and stupid." Qin Du said.
If the people of the Mu family thought that they were pretending to be crazy and stupid before, it would be bad, you must know that a doll who is only ten years old can pretend to be crazy and stupid, and has deceived everyone, such a scheming is very scary, and the Mu family will never let a person with such scheming stay in the Mu family, after all, everyone knows that a person with such scheming is either a careerist, or has an ulterior motive.
So Old Man Mu and Third Master Mu had to take precautions, which is why early in the morning, Old Man Mu and Third Master Mu had been waiting for Qin Dui to have breakfast together, or if they didn't figure things out, the heads of the Mu family couldn't rest assured.
"Is that really the case? Then why are you not stupid all of a sudden, and not only are you not stupid, but you are also talented. ”
Old Man Mu stared at Qin Du and asked, this is also the question that Old Man Mu wants to know the most, if this Qin Du can't answer, or the answer is vague, Old Man Mu will definitely not let this Qin Du stay in Mu Mansion anymore, and he will not let his granddaughter marry him, who knows what secrets a person who can pretend to be crazy and stupid for five or six years hides in his heart, Old Man Mu doesn't want the whole Mu Mansion to take risks.
"Grandpa, third uncle, have you ever heard of an epiphany?"
Qin Dui said, you must know that Qin Dui has also stayed in a nightclub no matter what he says, and he has also been a "male ~ public relations" for more than a year.
"Epiphany? Could it be the epiphany that Buddhism says? ”
Old man Mu believes in Buddhism, has seen a lot of Buddhist classics, and knows that there is an "epiphany" in Buddhism, and the legend says that the Buddha came to have an epiphany under the Bodhi tree and became the Buddha.
"Yes, yes, yes, it is the epiphany in Buddhism, I was dizzy, last night I listened to Yunxi play "Moonlight on the Lotus Pond", I don't know why, I fell asleep, I leaned on a Bodhi tree in my sleep, as soon as I woke up, my brain became clear, and my thinking became quick." Qin Du said.
Fortunately, this Great Qin Dynasty believes in Buddhism, there is an "epiphany" in Buddhism, and he takes this "epiphany" to talk about things, and the old man Mu and the third master Mu can't find any reason to refute it, after all, this is recorded in the Buddhist classics, and the "epiphany" is really existing, and there are many examples of "epiphany" of the ancestors, and they have all become immortals and Buddhas.
You must know that in Buddhism there is a saying of "gradual enlightenment" and "epiphany", which means that the process of cultivation must be divided into many stages, and only long-term accumulation can be able to realize the truth.
And "epiphany" is not so troublesome, "epiphany" refers to the completion of inspiration, which is instantaneous in terms of time.
Buddhism says that "put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot" is a clear proof of "epiphany", even if it is a butcher who kills like hemp, he understands the truth of the world in an instant, and he can become a Buddha by putting the butcher knife down.
In the Great Qin Dynasty, there was a well-known story of the epiphany of "putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot".
Legend has it that once upon a time, there was a temple where the old mage and the little novice lived. One day, when the little novice accidentally killed a toad, the old master was very angry and said, "You kill and kill life, and you can only pay for your life when you go to the cliff of the back mountain and sacrifice your life to repent." ”
When the little novice heard this, he was scared and sad, but the master could not fail to obey his words, so he had to walk to the cliff side of the back mountain with tears in his eyes. Looking at the abyss of the cliff, I really didn't have the courage to jump, and I sat on the edge of the cliff alone and was sad.
A butcher happened to pass by this mountain road, heard the cry of a child, and followed the cry to see a novice sitting on the edge of a cliff.
The butcher asked curiously, "Little Master, little Master, why are you crying?" ”
The little novice replied, "I accidentally killed a toad, and Master asked me to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff in order to atone for my sins." ”
When the butcher heard this, he thought to himself, I have to sacrifice my life to atone for my sins by killing a toad, and I kill pigs every day, and I don't know how many pigs have died under my knife for several years, and I can't help but repent of the sins I have created.
So the butcher said to the little novice, "I am a butcher who kills pigs, and your karma is not as heavy as mine, and I am the one who should have committed suicide by jumping off a cliff, and today I am willing to atone for your sins." ”
The butcher was bent on repenting of his sins, ignoring the precipice, and when his body was about to fall to the bottom, a pure white lotus flower suddenly floated to support him......
"It seems that it is my Buddha who pities our family's Yunxi, so it made you have an epiphany and become smarter."
Old man Mu said that for people in such an era, as long as they are connected with Buddha and God, they are more convinced, after all, for people in this era, anything incredible is a masterpiece of God and Buddha.
"Yes, yes, it must be that the Buddha can't stand it, Yun Xi is such a smart and beautiful girl marrying a fool, so I have an epiphany, so that I can live happily with Yun Xi."
Qin Duan immediately followed and said, Fortunately, this level has finally barely passed, no matter whether the two old foxes of the Mu family really believe it or fake it, at least now they won't drive themselves away, and when they have the ability, they will immediately buy a house and move out.
"Father, it seems that Yunxi often goes to the temple to offer incense, and the Buddhas see that Yunxi is so sincere, so they specially bless Yunxi to come."
Mu Shangye said, now I can only believe that it was the blessing of the Buddha, otherwise I can't figure out how this fool could suddenly become smarter.
"You're right, Qin Dui!" Old Man Mu looked at Qin Du and said.
"Grandpa, you command!"
Qin Du immediately put down his chopsticks and said, but scolded secretly in his heart: "In the end, I don't let people eat breakfast, my stomach is almost starving, it's endless, and I haven't eaten a mouthful of food now." ”
"Tomorrow, you and Yunxi will go to Yunshan Temple to make a vow, thank the Buddha for blessing you and Yunxi." Old Man Mu said sternly that in this era, it is very strict to go to the temple to offer incense.
"If you want it, if you want it, tomorrow I will take Yunxi to the incense early in the morning to make a vow."
Qin Du said, but secretly thought in his heart, "If Old Man Mu knew that his real grandson-in-law had been summoned to heaven by the Buddha, and now the grandson-in-law in front of him was fake, would he thank the Buddha for coming?" ”
"Remember to donate more sesame oil money."
Old man Mu said that it is recorded in Buddhist scriptures that the Buddha also likes money, so rich people donate more sesame oil money to express their heart to the Buddha.
"Grandpa, I don't have any money!"
Qin Duan took the opportunity to say, there was no way that this Qin Duan was not treated well in Mu Mansion before, except for ensuring that he had no worries about food and clothing, he didn't give him any pocket money at all.
When Old Man Mu talked about money, Qin Duan was not afraid of losing face, and directly said that he had no money, so he could take the opportunity to ask for more money, after all, no matter what world he is in, money is not everything, but no money is absolutely impossible, but he doesn't know that a penny is difficult for a good man.
"Steward Wu, I'll take a hundred taels of silver and give it to Aunt Qin later." Mu Shangye said to Wu San, the big butler standing on the side.
"Yes, Third Master."
Wu San glanced at Qin Du and said, it seems that the status of this Aunt Qin, who was not popular in the Mu family before, has risen, and he will have to be careful to serve him in the future.
"That, third uncle, you see that I have been in the Mu family for so long, and I will soon marry Yun Xi Baitang, as a man who is about to become a family, I don't look good if I don't have money around me, and I will embarrass our Mu family when I go out, isn't it? If it is rumored outside that the uncle of Mu Mansion doesn't even have money for food, people outside may not know what to say about our Mu family, you say yes. ”
When Qin Duan heard this, he gave himself a hundred taels of silver, this is still the sesame oil money for the temple, and he has nothing to do, and said a little unhappily, he is not the fool he used to be now, let you be so easy to bully, if you want to send yourself like this, there is no way.
In Mufu up to the master, down to the slave have a monthly case, his own dignified aunt, in Mufu for five years, there is no money per month, the fool before is forgotten, now he is possessed, so he doesn't suffer this loss, how to come over this month today, otherwise how to go out without money in the future, how to pick up girls.
As the old saying goes, "people are good at being bullied, and wives are good at being ridden", oh, no, it's "people are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden", if they don't ask them for this month's example, they really think that their uncle is easy to bully, and how will they gain a foothold in the Mu family in the future.
"Steward Wu, in the future, Aunt Qin will have a monthly salary of one hundred taels per month."
The third master, Mu Shangye, said with a wry smile, this stupid uncle has also become too powerful, and the Mu family seems to be thanks to him, if he doesn't give him monthly money, he is also ready to publicize everywhere that the Mu family has treated him badly.
"Yes, Third Master."
Wu San responded, now Wu San has also seen the power of this Aunt Qin who is not stupid, Steward Wu decided to deal with this Aunt Qin carefully, he can't offend him, "I'd rather offend a gentleman than a villain", in Wu San's eyes, this Aunt Qin is a villain that his brother can't afford to offend.
