Chapter 004
Master Huineng suppressed the slightest reluctance in his heart, and motioned for Lin Wan to sit down in front of him, and then he told the story.
Since deciding to send Lin Wan out for adoption, Master Huineng has successively looked at seven or eight families for Lin Wan, and they are all about to catch up with the posture of big families showing their children relatives.
After contact and comparison, Master Huineng picked out three relatively favorite families from them, although each household had something that he was not satisfied with, but it was already the most suitable family he could pick out in Qingzhou Mansion.
Although the little girl in front of her was only a toddler of four or five years old, and she rarely spoke since she woke up from a coma, she always gave Master Huineng an unusual feeling.
He really can't think of any kind of family that can raise such a child, without crying or making trouble, just quietly looking at everything in front of him with a pair of clear and transparent eyes, so that he is reluctant to treat her as an ignorant little girl.
Therefore, the family who chose foster care this time, Master Huineng did not think of directly arranging it for her, but just did some preliminary screening for her, and at this moment, he carefully explained the situation of these three families and their respective advantages and disadvantages with Lin Wan as if facing an adult.
The first family introduced by Master Huineng to Lin Wan was surnamed Lin, which had the same surname as Lin Wan in the previous life, and was one of the largest merchants in Qingzhou Mansion.
The old lady of the Lin family eats fasting and recites Buddha for many years, and is a frequent visitor to Chongfu Temple, as long as the weather and body allow, she will always come to the temple every ten days and a half to listen to the scriptures and worship the Buddha.
In the month that Lin Wan has been in Chongfu Temple, she has already seen this old lady twice.
The old lady was kind and kind-eyed, and every time she came to the temple to buy incense, she gave extremely rich money for incense.
It's just that the old lady she was waiting with her occasionally landed on Lin Wan's gaze with scrutiny and disdain, which made Lin Wan very displeased.
As the saying goes, things gather like people, people are grouped, if this old lady is really as kind as her face, the grandmother next to her should not look at an outsider who has nothing to do with her at all.
The juniors who accompanied Mrs. Lin to Chongfu Temple twice were different, but the relationship between them gave Lin Wan the same feeling, that is, everyone had different faces before and after people.
It stands to reason that the juniors who can accompany the old lady to Chongfu Jinxiang are either the old lady's daughter-in-law, granddaughter-in-law or the old lady's granddaughter.
These people are either concubines, sisters, or at worst cousins, just one glance made Lin Wan feel the discord between them.
Such a person, even if they have no worries about food and clothing, will live a very depressed life.
Lin Wan really doesn't like this kind of person who has a bright appearance but hides dirt.
There are still fights between sisters who are related by blood, she is a person with a foreign surname, even if in the face of Master Huineng, the old lady can protect her a little, how can she live an easy life?
Master Huineng introduced the situation of the Lin family to Lin Wan, while silently observing Lin Wan, but saw that his face, which had rarely had expressions since he woke up, showed a little resistance, and couldn't help but sigh lightly, shook his head gently, and talked about the second family for Lin Wan.
This second family surnamed Sun is also one of the best families in Qingzhou Mansion.
The Sun family is a well-known scholarly family in Qingzhou, and there are many official residents in the family.
It is said that the big house of the Yan branch is a big official in the capital with the ancestors, and now in Qingzhou Mansion, it is the second room of the Yan branch that stays behind in the ancestral business.
The one who has the intention of adoption is the old lady who stayed in the second room of the Yanzhi in Qingzhou Mansion.
In the second room of the Sun family, it is now the third generation in the same house, but except for the daughter-in-law who carried in the door, all of them are men, and this old lady dreams of having a little granddaughter.
Master Huineng felt that compared to the Lin family, the Sun family was still good.
Although there are some dirty things in the inner courtyard of the big family, there has never been anything bad in the inner courtyard of the Sun family.
But in the face of Lin Wanmuran's expression, Master Huineng always felt that this little girl didn't seem to want to go to Sun's house.
The helpless Master Huineng had to launch the third household.
The third family surnamed Fang is a large landowner at the foot of Daqing Mountain, and the Fang family is the closest household to Chongfu Temple among the three families.
Of the fertile fields in this area at the foot of Daqing Mountain, one out of ten belongs to the Fang family.
The Fang family is living a good life, but the fly in the ointment is that the heirs are difficult.
The old lady of the Fang family only had one single seedling in the old lady Fang's generation.
After Mrs. Fang got married, she was able to give birth, but she gave birth to seven golden flowers in a row, and only when she was not confused did she have the only son Fang Yuanwai.
For the sake of the heirs of the Fang family, Fang Yuanwai became a relative at the age of fifteen, but he didn't expect him to be inferior to the old lady Fang, in addition to the wife, there were no less than ten women who raised the door one after another, but only Uncle Fang had one son.
Now Uncle Fang has been married for more than five years, and he has lost a lot of weight in the inner courtyard, but he has not been able to bloom a flower and bear a fruit under Uncle Fang's hard work.
There are some legends about the ancestors of the Fang family who started their families in this area of Daqingshan, all of which allude to the fact that the ancestors of the Fang family were able to make a fortune because they lacked virtue, and this is the retribution to the heirs, and the generation will not be as good as the generation.
Legend has it that the eldest grandmother of the Fang family got a secret recipe, and she needed to find a suitable female doll from the outside to raise, maybe she could bring heirs to the Fang family.
Whether this legend is true or not, Lin Wan is reluctant to participate in it.
Imagine if there is such a thing, after the Fang family has its own bloodline, how will she deal with herself?
If she couldn't bring an heir to the Fang family, wouldn't she become a sinner of the Fang family, so would she have a future to speak of?
Besides, she has such a background, how can she come from?
"The Fang family didn't know where to get the news, they came to the door early this morning, and now the Fang family's wife is still waiting in the temple, just looking at Wanwan's own meaning." Master Huineng finally said.
Lin Wanzi couldn't declare what she thought in her heart, she only bit her lip lightly, slowly moved to Master Huineng's side, and grabbed Master Huineng's monk's robe tightly with her little hand and said, "I, I can help cook and wash clothes, don't drive me away, okay?" ”
Master Huineng let out a long sigh, he felt sorry for this child, and he liked this child, but this is a temple in the end, how can he leave a female doll in the temple.
It's just that......
Facing Lin Wan's tearful eyes, Master Huineng couldn't be ruthless.
Since Lin Wan is unwilling, it is better to take it slowly, maybe her family is looking for it here, and maybe she can find a more suitable person.
Lin Wan's adoption was temporarily stranded because of Master Huineng's mercy.
