Zen Master Huiming is indeed not easy to dismiss. He carried the package down the mountain to collect his apprentices, and he took it with him, and he didn't plan to return to Jinghui Temple at all.

The old lady of the Mu family refused to meet the guests, and Zen Master Huiming didn't seem to be surprised at all, he just smiled and nodded, saying that he would go to Daxiangguo Temple to stay for a day first, and then come back tomorrow.

"The old man is not in a hurry," he told the Duchess of An Guo with a smile: "Old Madam Mu has no time to meet guests, so the old man will come back tomorrow." ”

Zen Master Huiming has a very high seniority, and Duchess An Guo is naturally very polite to him, but politeness is polite, which does not prevent Duchess An Guo from telling Zen Master Huiming very firmly and tactfully that her daughter is not suitable to be a monk's apprentice.

"It's really inappropriate," Zen Master Huiming nodded with a smile in agreement: "So Lao Wei doesn't plan to return to Jinghui Temple again, I'm afraid that I will have to bother Lao Ge's little apprentice to send Lao Ge to the end of his old age." ”

This...... What and what! Duchess An Guo looked at Huiming's wrinkled face and was speechless for a while. She suddenly felt that this very senior old monk was very good at playing scoundrels.

But Huiming is not really a scoundrel, he is very polite, just a little polite and ready to leave, for a while, Duchess An Guo didn't know what to do.

One Huiming is a very senior Zen master of Jinghui Temple, and his nephew Master Juejing is very prestigious among the nobles in Beijing.

Second, the old monk did not have any rude behavior, and he was ready to leave when he failed to see the old lady, and planned to come back the next day, so that even if the Anguo Mansion wanted to provoke, it could not find a suitable reason.

After all, their Guogong Mansion is not the kind of person who bullies others, and everything must be reasonable.

"Master," Duchess An Guo thought for a while, and called out to Hui Ming the moment he turned around: "My daughter will not worship you as a teacher, you know, this is not appropriate, she is my only daughter after all, the only young lady in our An Guo Mansion." ”

"The old man just wants to meet Mrs. Mu." Huiming didn't answer Duchess An Guo directly, he folded his hands together, and smiled calmly on his wrinkled face: "If it's inconvenient today, then the old man will come back tomorrow." ”

"Master," Duchess An Guo smiled: "Mother is not rude to the Buddha on weekdays, and only the three brothers and sisters in our house occasionally burn incense and chant scriptures, Jinghui Temple is in Qinglian Mountain, not close to the capital, the master is rare to enter Beijing, if the master is willing to take the time to preach, I think the three brothers and sisters will be honored." ”

"Exactly." Mrs. Mu San nodded immediately.

"Although Lao Wei has been converted to Buddhism for nearly 60 years," Hui Ming folded his hands and made a Buddhist salute to the Duchess of Anguo, with a wrinkled face so that his facial features could not be seen clearly: "However, the Dharma is profound, and Lao Qu has practiced to this day, and he only dares to claim to be rude to Buddhism, so how dare he casually preach the scriptures and explain the Dharma to others." Wuxiang, the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple, has studied Buddhism for many years, and he is also a teacher and nephew of Lao Gao, if the two ladies are interested, Lao Gao can invite him to come to the door to give lectures to the ladies. ”

When Huiming said these words, Duchess An Guo and Mrs. Mu San hurriedly shook their heads. Just kidding, the master of Daxiangguo Temple has been presiding over the temple for more than 20 years, and every year on the Buddha's birthday, the emperor and queen worship the Buddha are presided over by the master of Wuxiang.

He has a very high reputation in Beijing, and he does not go out of the Great Xiangguo Temple all the year round, that is, he will enter the palace once a year during the Midyear Festival, and do a ritual in the Shoufo Palace.

For so many years, I have never heard of Master Wuxiang giving a lecture. They Anguo Mansion didn't want to be so public, and invited such a big Buddha to come and preach the scriptures.

Huiming seemed to have expected that the Mu family's ladies would refuse, he didn't care much, he just stood up and said goodbye, saying that he would go to Daxiangguo Temple to stay temporarily, and then come back tomorrow to visit.

"It doesn't matter if Old Lady Mu doesn't have to be empty tomorrow," Hui Ming said with a smile and slowly, "Then Old Lady Mu will come back the day after tomorrow." If Mrs. Mu is still not idle the day after tomorrow, then the old lady will wait another day. ”

Duchess An Guo absolutely believes that Huiming can do such a thing. This is to rely on their Anguo Mansion, and they will not give up if they don't see Mrs. Mu.

Thinking of this, Duchess An Guo instantly made up her mind. Master Huiming has a very high seniority, if he really let him come from Daxiangguo Temple every day to visit and ask to see Mrs. Mu, it will not take a few days, there will be rumors in Beijing, it is better to let him get his wish today and meet his mother-in-law.

Anyway...... Anyway, the mother-in-law would never agree to let him accept Hongshang as an apprentice. How could the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion be an apprentice to a monk!

After making up her mind, Duchess An Guo no longer hesitated, and asked Mrs. Mu San to accompany Master Huiming to drink tea, while she herself returned to Mrs. Mu's courtyard, planning to ask her mother-in-law to see if her mother-in-law was willing to meet Master Huiming today.

After taking Mu Hongsheng away, Duchess An Guo made things clear in a few words, but Mrs. Mu didn't expect that this high-ranking master really had a bit of a scoundrel posture, as if she wouldn't stop if she didn't see her.

In this case, Mrs. Mu's thoughts are the same as her daughter-in-law's, so let's meet them directly, cut through the mess quickly, and no matter what the old monk says, she won't agree.

Therefore, on this day, Master Huiming really met Mrs. Mu smoothly, saw it, and after seeing it, he never left.

What Master Huiming and Old Madam Mu talked about, no one except Duchess An Guo knew. They talked for a long time, and at the request of Master Huiming, Mrs. Mu took everyone away, leaving only the Duchess of An Guo present.

At the beginning, everyone thought that Mrs. Mu could quickly send away this uninvited guest, so Mrs. Mu didn't go far, just waiting in Mrs. Mu's Xinuan Pavilion, planning to wait for Master Huiming to leave, and everyone continued to go back to discuss Mu Zhengyi's daughter-in-law candidate.

However, unexpectedly, everyone waited for half an hour before they saw Duchess An Guo come out of the main hall of Mrs. Mu first, after she came out, she directly beckoned her personal maid Bitong, and asked her to hurry to clean up the small courtyard near Wuyingtang, and then instructed the kitchen, and divided another stove, and then specially made vegetarian food for Master Huiming in the future.

Several Mrs. Mu sat in the warm pavilion, and when they heard the words of Duchess An Guo instructing the maids in the courtyard, they all showed surprised looks, and Mrs. Mu couldn't help but stand up, walked to the door in a few steps, and asked: "Sister-in-law, what's going on, that Master Huiming......"

"I'm not leaving." Duchess An Guo sighed softly: "In the future, it will be in our family's residence." ”

"What?" Second Lady Mu looked surprised: "Could it be that my mother really agreed to let Hongsheng worship him as a teacher?" He's a monk! ”
