"You're back!" The old man came in from outside, his face was not good, and he couldn't help frowning deeper when he saw his mother-in-law's appearance. The mother-in-law gave him a blank look, turned her head sideways, and sobbed.

"Oh, sir, there's something interesting going on today, and your two granddaughters are amazing!" I'm so busy looking for a topic that I can't let two people vomit in front of me. But it's really funny, and it seems that children in ancient times weren't fuel-efficient lamps.

Today in the temple, Yun Niang's eldest daughter Ning Shuang knelt in front of the spirit of her mother in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, but she didn't seem to figure out why her mother couldn't wake up, and she couldn't figure out what those annoying monks were chattering, her father hadn't spoken for a few days, she could only come and kowtow to that person, she hadn't kowtowed so much, even if it was the New Year, she hadn't kowtowed so much on weekdays. I thought about whether I went to help her, but I didn't come to her, she ran away, I ran over to chase, and after a while, I found that the second brother in front of me was also following behind, and wanted to leave, this is a problem between their father and daughter, I lost my mother at the age of two, and it's strange to think about it, I lost my mother at a young age, no matter who I put on it, no matter in which time and space it is a terrible and tragic thing. They may have talked, the child may not understand, but someone has to tell her what happened and what the death was. But that's just my idea, but maybe the ancients were different? Thinking that I still followed, I wanted to know what they were talking about and how they were talking.

It's a pity that the second brother is worse than I thought, he just followed his daughter and kept his distance, he just wanted to look at her from a distance, knowing that she didn't run out, and she didn't get taken away. What kind of father is this? I can't wait to kick him twice and go up and pick up the baby again, maybe she just wants someone to hug her. But before I could get forward, a gorgeous girl stood in front of Frost, and the girl seemed to think Frost was funny and blocked her way. Ning Shuang wanted to go around, but wherever she went, the girl was in the direction of the person, judging from the woman's clothing, it should also be from a good background, teenagers should not tease two or three-year-old children, not to mention that this child is also a filial piety, I can't help but be a little angry, even in modern times, a child should be scolded. But Frost cursed first.

"Get out of here!" Her voice was brittle, nice, and round, and it seemed that I usually underestimated her, and she was not at all as cowardly as her mother. Maybe I wanted to see the ancient children quarrel, or maybe I wanted to know how the ancient fathers reacted when they saw the children quarreling, but I didn't move, and waited quietly.

"You're kind of funny, who in your family died? Anyone else? Why don't you come home with me? I have a lot of good food and fun in my house, and I also have a puppy to borrow you to play with! The girl picked up Ning Shuang and put it on the railing where she could look at herself and let her sit, Ning Shuang was also afraid, and looked at the girl with her on the pillar, a little curious.

"What is death?" She asked the girl, yes, what is death, and Frost asked me, and I vaguely confused it, and I think everyone else would probably do the same thing I did, how to explain death to a two-year-old child? And these answers should not be satisfied, so he is still looking for answers.

"My mother said that she had ascended to the Western Elysium, and the Buddhist scriptures said that if you are a good person, you should eat and drink in that place, and you can have whatever you want. Who in your family died? ”

"My mother also eats and drinks at home? My home is also Elysium! Ning Shuang glared angrily, as if she thought the girl was lying to herself.

"I said it, it was my mother who said it, and I didn't say that I said it!" The girl jumped on the railing and sat with her, although the folk customs of the Tang Dynasty are not rigorous, it will not really let a girl be so unruly, right?

"Your mother is dead? Then come to my house, my mother is the only one, she likes the baby, she must like you, she has osmanthus candy, and when she sees a beautiful baby, she will give the candy to eat. "She hadn't forgotten to kidnap Frost away.

"I have a mother, and my mother is so fragrant."

"My mother is also very fragrant, and she always makes her clothes fragrant, I really can't figure it out." The girl looked disappreciative, how could a teenager be so happy to make peace with a two- or three-year-old child?

"Can't you come back if you're dead?"

"That's right! My parrot is dead, and my mother said she can't come back, so she wants to get me another one? I didn't ask for it, I asked for a dog. The girl shook her head, "I think my mother should not be able to find another one when she dies, it is better to change one, such as my mother, my mother is very good, but it is very annoying, I think it should not be so annoying to have one more child, right?" She said to herself, I laughed, the distress of the only child, she abducted the child back just to share the mother's attention?

"What is the monk reciting? Why should you read it? ”

"I'm reciting the mantra of the past life, so that your mother can go to the Western Elysium soon," the girl listened intently, and replied that it seemed that the child was familiar with Buddhist scriptures.

"I hate them, I hate them!" Ning Shuang stared at the direction of the Daxiong Treasure Hall and said hatefully, my heart twitched, I felt distressed, what makes a two-year-old child like this, I am afraid that Ning Shuang's future days will become extreme, can I change her? I can only let her develop, I can't interfere. For the first time, I felt like I was in a ruthless job.

"I don't like them either, you know? My mother brings me here twice a month, it's so annoying! Still fasting, fasting? Wait a minute, baby, shall we go about something? The girl jumped down, hugged Ning Shuang by the way, pulled her and ran, the second brother followed, he didn't stop it, what about me? Can I stop it? I followed.

They secretly walked to Jixiang's kitchen together, and it was not time to eat, but there were people inside, they thought for a while, the girl went to the side hall with the frost, there was no one there, but there were oily chickens, pig heads, etc. offered by good men and women on the desk. The girl stole a fried chicken, and I said 'Amitabha' to the Buddha on her behalf, and then followed in their footsteps, and things seemed to get more and more interesting.

The girl tore the fried chicken into shredded chicken, wrapped the skin and bones in a veil and buried them in the ashes, wiped her hands, said something to the Buddha, and ran back to the incense kitchen with the condensation. I think I know what she wants to do, it's really a child, who can play tricks on this kind of pediatric trick? They waited until there was no one and ran in, not knowing what they were doing, but they could guess. I wanted to see what the expression of the second brother was, so I went around to find a place where I could see the second brother, and he, like me, didn't believe that these two children could do anything, so he waited for the development of the situation in place. Thinking about it carefully, I don't seem to have seen the second brother so seriously, he should be in his twenties, a few years older than Yun Niang, but because his brows have been locked, he looks much older than his actual age, and he has experienced all the vicissitudes of life. That brother, who was three years older than him, didn't know what it was like to get old? I didn't dare to think about it, but when I looked at it again, the second brother's expression changed a little, and when I looked back, the two children came out and were hiding and waiting to see a good show. Look at the second brother again, he was also waiting, and after a while, maybe the time for dinner arrived, Jixiang slowly gathered the monks outside the kitchen, everyone lined up and sat down, waiting for the meal, the two girls stood on tiptoe to see, even if the frost was standing on tiptoe, she couldn't see it, she was so anxious that she jumped to her feet, the girl didn't care about her, picked up the frost, and looked at something there with difficulty. I couldn't get closer, I could only look for clues in their expressions.

But nothing happened, I saw the second brother frown again, and after thinking about it for a while, I seemed to have an epiphany again, because nothing happened to be suspicious. The girl seemed to think of something, put down the frost, lay on the windowsill and watched, the monks had finished their meal, their expressions were as usual, and they couldn't see anything.

The people are gone, the girl pulled the frost and walked in for a while, she came out with the tray, holding the tray in one hand, and not forgetting to hold the frost with the other, but after a while, maybe she felt a little difficult to hold the plate in one hand, she put the little hand of the frost on the hem of her skirt, let her hold it tightly, and the instructions were approved, and then she put the plate with both hands and continued to walk forward, the second brother smiled, and seemed to praise the girl's carefulness.

The girl took Ning Shuang to the abbot's room, the abbot Xuan Hong was talking with a noble lady, seeing the girl and Ning Shuang entering, the two of them smiled together, the noble lady saw Ning Shuang couldn't help but look carefully, said a few words, then hugged Ning Shuang, I think she knew that Ning Shuang had just lost her mother. What did the girl say to the old abbot, and stirred the bowl of porridge, it should have complained to the abbot, and soon, the novice knelt down at the door, and the other novice ran out, it should be to call someone, look at the second brother, his brows were still wrinkled, thinking that this was not the way he liked, but he didn't move, I thought about knocking on the door and walked in. Frost broke free from the lady's arms and threw herself back on me, and I picked up Frost and thanked her.

"You are ......," the lady rose and saluted me in return.

"I am the aunt of this child, and the child has tired the lady."

"She still has an aunt?!" The girl cried out in disappointment, look at the girl and then look at the lady, the two are very similar, but the lady's eyebrows are elegant, and the girl has a naughty appearance.

"Aoxue! Let you see the smile, the little girl is naughty, I think it will be brought by seeing your baby's cuteness! I'm really sorry to worry you, your house is filial piety, and after seven or seven, the old man went to the house to apologize. ”

"Aoxue? It's really related to our child, our child is called Frost, which was born when the frost fell in winter, and Miss cherished the frost with us, so we really want to thank your house. ”

"It's good that the young lady is not strange!"

"Master Abbot, the master of Jixiang Chef has arrived."

"What's for lunch? Why was the noodle soup delivered, and the little benefactor brought porridge? "After all, Master Xuanhong is a high-ranking monk, and even if he is angry, he speaks softly as usual.

"The master forgives the sin, the master forgives the sin, the little monk doesn't know why there is shredded meat in the porridge, but the monks in the temple have already sat down, it's too late to change it, the master forgives the sin!"

"Auntie, why is it not allowed to put shredded meat in the porridge? Why do they still eat shredded meat when they know there is shredded meat in the porridge? Ning Shuang looked at me with some doubts, I couldn't answer him, I could only look at her and laugh, I didn't want Ning Shuang to know about these bad things, hugged her and nodded and smiled at Master Abbot, ready to leave. But Ning Shuang refused to leave and stared at the abbot.

"Master, if they are guilty of violating the precepts by eating meat porridge, then can my mother still go to Western Elysium?" I was stunned, looked at the child who was only more than two years old, thought for a while, and smiled, this child is really not ordinary smart, if in modern times, with a good education, he may be able to be the president in the future, born in ancient times, and still a daughter, it's a pity. I couldn't help but sigh.

"Ningshuang, let's go back, stay with your mother for a while!" I persuaded.

"No!" Frost stubbornly looked at the abbot, and Kobo Daishi smiled, also looked at Frost, and gently touched her forehead.

"What does the little donor want?"

"Can you bring my mother back?"

"Amitabha! Lao Na couldn't. ”

"Then I want you to beat them ten times!" Ning Shuang said hatefully, his eyes were red when he said this, and the master smiled again. Me too, in Ning Shuang's mind, beating the hand board is the most severe punishment, in the past, I did something wrong, and when the second brother wanted to punish her, it was the hand board, and I wanted this pleading, that touching tears, and in the end I only hit it once, and I only hit it once. It seems to be really fresh in my memory, what a child.

"Amitabha, Lao Na can't either!" Kobo Master shook his head again, and everyone in the room was taken aback, the requirement of ten strokes of the hand board was not too much, why did Kobo Master not allow it? The lady stood up, thinking she had guessed something.

"Master, the fault is the little girl, I hope the master is merciful!"

"Amitabha, Madame is serious, Lao Na is in charge of the monks, and if he can't keep the precepts, he is not considered a monk, so how can Lao Na punish him indiscriminately? The little donor, Lao Na personally went to Ling Ci Ling to recite the scriptures, and sent Ling Ci a ride. The old monk still had a calm and breezy appearance, but he was so shocked that the noble lady and the eccentric Aoxue knelt down all of a sudden, and the head of Jixiang Chef and the other two novices kept kowtowing, terrified.

"Master, the little girl is stubborn and doesn't listen to the teachings, this is already the case, please ask the master to educate the monks with compassion, how can you deal with them in one go, trying to do it once and for all? There are many sins and obstacles in the world, but the master is a person who has attained enlightenment, so how can he add more sins and obstacles to the little girl and cause more bad karma? Master mercy! "The second brother came in and said earnestly, Master Kobo called it good, the matter is finally over, pointing to me I can only watch him drive out all the monks in the temple, at that time most of the monks were poor children who couldn't survive at home, and they could get two meals in the temple, but who was really willing to send the child to the temple if there was a way? Driving the monks out of the temple, other places will not accept them, and they can only force them to either do evil or starve to death, otherwise how can everyone be terrified? The second brother is right, he really drove out just to add more bad karma to the frost, although I don't believe it, but for the sake of the child, I would rather believe it.

When the matter was over and we were about to leave, the kneeling girl suddenly stood up and looked at Ning Shuang with a reluctant face, "Can you come to my house to play?" ”

"I don't know!"

"Here you go, my name is on it, you can have someone take you to my house!" It was a gold bracelet, but fortunately it wasn't round, Ao Xue put the bracelet on Ningshuang's hand and pinched it hard, and the bracelet was firmly on Ningshuang's wrist. The inside of the bracelet is engraved with the three characters of Jun Aoxue, and there are also the eight characters of Aoxue's birthday, I can't help but glance at her, she doesn't know that this can't be messed with?

"Young lady, the little girl is lonely and lonely, and it is inevitable that she will have pity for the young lady, which makes you laugh, it is better to marry a sister of the opposite sex in the future, and this plaything can only be Wending." Jiang is old and spicy, this Mrs. Jun is no more troublesome than my mother-in-law, I hope her family has no son. Oh, by the way, she said, she only has one daughter, what a blessing! What should I say? Agree, or disagree, this is related to the history of the martial arts, maybe it is related to the history of the two families, I can't speak, I can only smile and look at the uncle.

"Ningshuang's father is here, you can talk to him, Miss Jun, this jade pendant was given by my mother-in-law, although it is not very precious, but it can be given to you for an auspicious auspicious rui." The only thing of value on me was a gold bracelet, and I couldn't afford to leave it alone. When you come to the temple to keep watch, how can you wear gold and silver, and the jade pendant is hung on the belt before it is brought out. I went out with the frost in my arms, I didn't do anything, I just exchanged gifts, it's nothing!

"It's only three years old, it's still a virtual age, it's just a matter of two years old, I haven't learned all the words, I really let her get into trouble, but it's not all her business, a child, no matter how capable she is, it's limited, but it's a coincidence, there is a witch in the world who is building a bridge with her to do things, and the temple can be regarded as a catastrophe today. Mother won't blame me for giving the jade pendant, right? I spoke so eloquently that the two elders and the other servants were dumbfounded.
