Chapter 19: Prayer

When Zhu slowly went downstairs, his grandmother had already gotten up, sitting on a bench in the yard listening to the early morning birds, looking at the red glow that had just gradually emerged from the east, and I didn't know what she was thinking? The sun is gradually rising, and today should be a sunny day.

Zhu slowly took the shawl and walked over to put it on his grandmother, and then sat next to his grandmother: "You got up so early?" ”

Grandma reacted this time and said with a smile, "When people are old, they go to bed early and wake up early", and then looked at Zhu Slow and asked, "Why don't you sleep more?" ”

"Well, I can't sleep," Zhu smiled faintly.

"There is a prayer in the temple today, if you have nothing to do, you can go out and walk around."

"Are you going?" Zhu asked his grandmother.

"I won't toss, this kind of lively thing is suitable for you young people" Grandma saw that Zhu Slow didn't like to go out, and wanted her to go out more, and her mood would be more cheerful.

"Okay." Zhu slowly looked at the gray-haired grandmother, who was a little slow to react, and felt that time passed too quickly, and her grandmother's body seemed to be more energetic than the last time.

When eating breakfast, Yan Mingyu was not in good spirits, his hair was not combed, and he looked like he hadn't slept enough, "Mom, next time I come back from overtime, don't call me to eat in the morning, I'm sleepy."

"Who is to blame for being trapped? You only know that you deserve to study those things every day! The uncle scolded his son, and the aunt glared at the uncle and then served her son a bowl of chicken soup.

Yan Mingyu just wanted to roll his eyes and say to his father, what do you know? Then I saw Zhu Slow and said in surprise: "When did you come back?" ”

"Last night, it was earlier than you." Zhu said slowly eating pumpkin porridge.

"Why didn't you tell me to pick you up?"

"I can't find anyone who asked you to pick you up?" My aunt just found a reason to say him.

"Look for me slowly, I'm still free!" Yan Mingyu said with a hippie smile.

"Slowly, if you want to go to the temple today, will you go?" Just now, my aunt asked Zhu Slow the same question as her grandmother, and today the temple was lively and asked her if she wanted to go, and she said that she was going.

"Go~ Pray for grandma by the way!" Yan Mingyu looked at his grandmother and said.

"Grandma is so old, you don't need to pray for blessings, you just have fun" The old lady was very happy to see her children and grandchildren doing well, she had already looked down on life and death at this age.

"Grandma, don't think like that, you will have to hold your great-grandson in the future!" He said to the old lady obediently.

"As far as your kid is poor, first find your girlfriend and bring it back to your grandmother to see," the aunt looked at her living son and scolded.

In the end, Yan Mingyu took Zhu Slow to the temple, and Zhu Slow entered the temple without parking in the temple, and Yan Mingyu went to park in a nearby parking lot.

The better they are to call later, so Zhu Slow walked around first, there are still a lot of people today, and the temple has not changed as before. She first went to worship the Buddha on incense, and then waited for Yan Mingyu under a big tree full of blessing signs.

She watched as a middle-aged man in temple costume set up a stall next to her, selling all kinds of small items for blessings and helping people tell fortunes. Many of the little girls were very interested in the calculation of the hexagram, and then bought a tag with prayers written on it and threw it on the big tree next to it. She didn't have much interest in fortune-telling, and turned to look at the prayer cards hanging on the big tree, and the hanging ribbons fluttered in the wind, which was very beautiful.

When she was in a daze, she suddenly felt a dull pain in the back of her head, she turned her head, and a card with a red ribbon fell on the ground, and not far away, a teenage girl with a double pill Nezha covered her mouth with a blank face. The handsome but plainly dressed man next to the girl reacted and immediately pulled the girl towards Zhu Slow, revealing a string of fine agarwood bracelets on his wrist between his demeanors. He said to Zhu Slow with an apologetic face: "I'm sorry, are you okay?" Then he pulled the girl in the direction of Zhu Wan and said, "Bai Mochan, apologize!" ”

Bai Mochan felt a little guilty and couldn't wipe her face, and whispered, "I'm sorry." ”

Bai Moli's expression became serious: "That's how you apologize to others?" ”

Bai Mochan was a little afraid of her brother's serious appearance and pursed her lips.

"Forget it, I'm fine." Zhu Chu didn't want to pursue it, she could feel that the little girl's apology was just thin-skinned.

"Sorry! She was an unintentional mistake, are you really okay? Do you want to go to the hospital? The man apologized again on behalf of his sister.

Zhu Slow's mobile phone rang, Yan Mingyu estimated that she couldn't find her to call, she glanced at the man in front of her indifferently and said, "No need, I still have to leave beforehand"

Bai Moli looked at her back as she turned away with deep eyes, and remembered that her faint expression and cold and clean face just now were like the lonely and holy lotus under my Buddha seat, which made people's hearts yearn for it but did not dare to blaspheme......

"Brother? Elder brother! Bai Mochan pulled her brother's sleeve.

"Don't be so rude in the future." Bai Moli turned his head and looked at his ignorant sister with a faint look.

"Got it!" The little girl picked up the prayer card on the ground and said coquettishly, "Brother, you throw it once, I can't even throw it." ”

He took the sign, and his sister wrote on the card, "The article is natural, and the clever hand is even good," he sneered, and then lightly threw the sign and hung the branches, hanging down the branches, and the red ribbon fluttered slightly in the spring breeze......

Zhu Slow finally met his cousin at the entrance.

"There are so many people that I almost can't even turn out of the entrance," Yan Mingyu went in and couldn't find the location where Zhu was sleeping, so he had to come out again and meet near the entrance.

"Well, it's very lively today" After meeting Zhu Slow, he and he began to walk inside.

"Are you almost done?"

"No, there are still a lot of places to go."

"That's just right, I haven't been here yet."

As a native of Jiangcheng, he has indeed grown up so old and has never been here once, but Zhu Slow has been here with his grandmother and mother a few times when he was studying before, all for good health, peace and joy......

When they came to the Buddha, they all bowed down with reverence, and still sincerely prayed for good health, peace and joy for their families. Later, Yan Mingyu also dragged her to the Bodhisattva to ask for marriage, he said: "Please ask the Bodhisattva to bless me to find a daughter-in-law as soon as possible, so that my mother will not hit me every day." ”

He said something serious, and Zhu couldn't help but laugh when he listened to it. Yan Mingyu looked at her like this and said, "What are you laughing at?" I'm serious, okay! ”

"Well, you continue" Zhu Wantian stood beside him quietly and elegantly, watching him pray sincerely, and she thought of another person in her heart.

"Don't you ask for marriage?" Yan Mingyu prayed and got up and asked her.

"No, let it be." She shook her head, distracting the image from her mind.

walked to the stall where the fortune teller sold prayer and wishing cards, Yan Mingyu liked these more than a woman like her, and pulled her to ask for a divination.

"What are you two going to be?" The fortune teller asked, touching his deliberately long beard.

"I'll count the marriage." Yan Mingyu said with interest.

The fortune teller took out a stick, shook it a few times, and then said, "Close your eyes and draw one!" ”

Yan Mingyu did so, took out a stick, and handed it to the fortune teller. The gentleman took the sign and read the words on it: "Although there are good people, there is nothing like it." Sign up! ”

"And what does this sign mean?" Yan Mingyu couldn't understand the crepe words.

The fortune teller looked at him again with an unfathomable face, touched his beard, Yan Mingyu asked the price in seconds, scanned the QR code, and sent him a red envelope before he said leisurely: "The person you are destined for life has appeared, don't waver, half-heartedly, it's useless." ”

Yan Mingyu frowned and thought about Mr.'s words, the person he was destined to have appeared? Are they researched? Who is it?

"Does this girl want to make a fortune?" The fortune teller looked at Zhu and asked.

"No need." She refused.

"I don't charge money for this hexagram, I'll collect the stall after I finish the calculation." He pointed to the sign standing next to the stall that read, 'Ten trigrams a day, fortune is divination'.

"So we're still destined?" Yan Mingyu also saw the sign and was a little surprised.

The fortune teller nodded, and then looked at Zhu Slow. Yan Mingyu also looked at her and said, "Count a hexagram, and the free ones should be played." ”

Zhu Chu was a little helpless and agreed. The fortune teller picked up the lottery holder and shook it, and then asked Zhu to draw a lottery sincerely. The fortune teller picked up the sign and looked at it, his expression obviously did not look at Yan Mingyu's leisurely sign, he read, "Those who seek get it, and those who give it lose." Check! ”

"What does that mean, sir?" Zhu Slow didn't speak, Yan Mingyu asked.

"If you have an opportunity, you must not give it up, if you can't chase it anymore." The fortune teller glanced at Zhu Slow meaningfully, and then really began to close the stall.

Yan Mingyu was a little confused, he engineering man really didn't know much about literature, does this sign mean that he should slowly grasp the opportunity?

Zhu pondered for a moment and then continued to visit the temple, as if he didn't care about the sign just now.

Finally, they went to the Buddha hall to listen to the master's chanting, and there was no noise in the whole process except for the sound of the master's chanting and the sound of knocking on the wooden fish, and they could quietly feel the feeling of the soul being baptized. After the chanting, the master also gave each of them a peace charm, saying that my Buddha compassion will bless the safety of all sentient beings......

"After listening to it, I feel that my seven emotions and six desires have faded! Yan Mingyu said calmly, with an expression on his face that saw through the red dust.

"Well, it's really relaxing to listen to." Zhu said with a light smile on his face.

After the successful completion of the blessing trip, they went home, and when they got home, they both gave the old lady a peace charm, and also brought the Buddhist beads given by the temple to their uncle and aunt.

"Son, you have a heart." My aunt was very happy.

"It's still slow and sensible, if this kid is alone, how can he know to bring us gifts." Uncle was obviously very happy with the gift, but he still had to count Yan Mingyu.

"Am I still your own son?" Yan Mingyu glared at him fiercely behind his father's back.

The old lady was also moved to tears by their filial piety, and Zhu Chu held her grandmother's hand and said her prayer words: "I hope you are healthy, safe and happy." ”

"Good, good! Everyone is safe and happy," the old lady was very moved.

"I asked for marriage today, and the fortune teller said that my good things are coming, so you can wait for my good news with peace of mind!" Yan Mingyu coaxed the old lady to be happy, and then exaggerated today's events with the old lady. He spoke vividly, the old lady and aunt listened to it with taste, and Zhu Slow also quietly watched this warm picture from the side.
