Chapter 68: Seeking the protection of the Buddha
It seems that someone has already come here to take care of it first! Wanyi thought so, and then thanked Miao Zhen again and the masters in the nunnery for their kindness.
The two mothers-in-law lived next door, and the catkins were originally going to lay on the floor next to Wanyi's bed.
But Wanyi was worried about her, afraid that she wouldn't be able to stand the moisture on the ground, so she went to the next room.
Anyway, there are many wings here, because of the hot weather, it seems that there are no guests.
After settling down, Wanyi took * catkins and went to visit the host of the nunnery.
After all, she doesn't know how long she will live on other people's turf?
It is to first establish a good relationship with other people's hosts, so as not to be rejected by others.
The current presiding officer of Cuizhu Nunnery, whose legal name is Mrs. Juci, is a 150-60-year-old, kind and virtuous old man.
She was very pleased with Wanyi's humility and courtesy:
"The little donor can live with peace of mind, your family has already come to take care of it!"
Because of its great fame, there are often female dependents of official eunuchs who come here to worship the Buddha, and some of them live for half a month.
Therefore, Mrs. Juci was not surprised by this. It's just that such a young girl, who has been a vegetarian for a long time, can she hold on?
Master Juci was a little puzzled, but he didn't say anything.
The little girl in front of me has bright eyes and a lovely smile, which really makes people want to be close to her.
Thinking like this, Master Juci couldn't help but say a few more words to Wanyi.
During this period, Wanyi also asked Mrs. Juci to borrow two scriptures for her.
When Wanyi returned to the room again, she saw that Miaozhen had already brought dinner:
A plate of eight-treasure tofu, a plate of stir-fried bamboo shoots, a plate of braised eggplant, a bowl of three fresh mushroom soup, and a bowl of fragrant stem rice.
The color and flavor are complete, and it is appetizing to look at.
"Thank you, Master Miaozhen!" After Wanyi thanked her, she couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks.
Miao Zhen on the side was a little dizzy: I thought that the girls from this official family were all pampered, but when they saw this dish, their first reaction was to frown. Unexpectedly, the girl in front of her didn't even have the slightest displeasure on her face!
It seems that this little girl has just arrived, and she is fresh and curious!
Miao Zhen thought so, and then took his leave and left.
After dinner, Wanyi took out a copy of the Heart Sutra and copied it for the two mothers-in-law:
"I just made a wish to pray for my grandmother to copy Buddhist scriptures. You can help copy it too, right? ”
The two mothers-in-law, one surnamed Gu, were the mother-in-law sent by the old lady; One is Mama Xiao in Qiuhua Courtyard, who was originally from the Peony Courtyard.
Although it was given to Qiuhua Academy, this person was in Cao Ying's heart in Han.
Wanyi couldn't subdue her, so she simply pretended to be deaf and dumb.
I heard that it was for the old lady, and the two mothers-in-law did not dare to disobey, so they nodded and took the scriptures.
Although they are not very literate, they can still copy the scriptures.
After all, the Buddha wanted sincerity, and he didn't care about the handwriting.
Wanyi looked at the catkins: "Catkins, can you copy them too?" ”
"Yes!" The catkins responded.
"I'm going to take a spin today, and I'm going to copy it tomorrow." Wanyi got up as she spoke, and walked out with the catkins.
Because it was night, and because of the weather, there were no other pilgrims here except for Wanyi's master and servant. At this time, only a group of nuns were doing evening classes.
Wanyi felt bored, so she turned around and went back to her room.
Because it is close to the bamboo forest, the sound of cicadas has not stopped since I came to the nunnery.
After dinner, the cries of various small animals became even more intense.
When the two mothers-in-law saw Wanyi return to the room, they all complained: "Girl, it's so noisy here, how can you sleep at night?" ”
Seeing the two mothers-in-law chattering there, Wanyi glared at them: "We came here to pray for our grandmother, not to enjoy the blessings!" ”
The two mothers-in-law had no choice but to nod and agree: "Yes, yes!" The girl said yes. ”
Wanyi picked up a scroll of scriptures and looked at them: "Two grandmothers, what is the matter when you come in?" ”
"None? No! The two mothers-in-law hurriedly shook their heads.
"If there is anything you don't get used to in the future, just tell the catkins."
Wanyi opened the scripture book and placed it on the table.
The two mothers-in-law glanced at each other, with some disdain in their eyes: the two of them are a handful of old people, what is the matter, is it useful to talk to a little girl?
But the girl in front of her, sitting there, although thin, had a straight back, and her expression was calm and quiet, as if everything in front of her had nothing to do with her.
The two mothers-in-law wanted to say something, but when they saw Wanyi like this, the words came to their mouths, but they swallowed them all.
Besides, the girl is just a child after all!
After the two mothers-in-law went out, Wanyi closed the book and let out a sigh of relief.
Liu Fu came in, the two talked for a while, and Wanyi handed her a copy of the "Diamond Sutra":
"You can copy it to your parents, or you can pray for yourself."
Liu Wu took the scriptures, looked up in astonishment, and saw Wanyi smiling gently at her, and reminded in a low voice:
"Don't say I said it."
Anyway, she can't give this maid any future, so it's better to take this opportunity to let her ask for the future for herself in front of the Buddha!
Maybe the Buddha saw that she was sincere and agreed to her?
Thinking like this, Wanyi couldn't help but laugh.
"If there's anything, come to me at any time, you can't hold it in your heart, you know?"
"Hmm!" Liu Fu nodded hurriedly, and his heart was already moved.
After Liu Fu returned to the room, Wanyi put out the candle and entered the space.
At this time, Doctor Fang and Ah Mu did not rest.
Doctor Fang is teaching Ah Mu medical skills.
Seeing Wanyi coming and beckoning: "Come and learn with Amu?" ”
Wanyi hurriedly shook her head: "I don't want to apprentice, and I don't have an apprenticeship, and there are ...... I'm bleeding! ”
Thinking about the bloody appearance of the wounded, she was afraid!
After she finished speaking, she was about to leave, but Ah Mu hurriedly grabbed her.
Doctor Fang smiled: "I taught Ah Mu to deal with his wounds today, you can take a look on the side, it's okay." ”
Seeing that Doctor Fang was like this, Wanyi had no choice but to stay there.
To tell the truth, when Dr. Fang Shen taught Ah Mu medical skills, he never shied away from Wanyi, and sometimes taught Wanyi some simple first aid methods.
Doctor Fang said that as long as Wanyi was willing, he could teach her.
But Wanyi felt that it was not easy for people to learn this technique, and she couldn't get it for nothing, so she never deliberately let Doctor Fang teach her.
The next morning, when Wanyi opened the door, it was already bright outside.
Miao Zhen came over and asked with a smile: "Didn't the little donor sleep well last night?" ”
"It's fine!" Because she had just finished exercising from the space, Wanyi's face turned red: "Master Miaozhen, am I getting up late?" ”
Miaozhen shook his head: "The little donor can get up whenever he wants, but the three meals a day in the nunnery are scheduled." ”
"I see!"
Wanyi bent her eyebrows, and then called Liu Wu: "Come in and dress me!" ”
After freshening up, Wanyi followed Miaozhen to the meditation room for morning classes.
She asked Miao Zhen to teach her to recite the "Mantra of the Dead".
Miao Zhen was puzzled: "Little donor, this mantra is recited to the deceased. ”
