225 Puja Grant (2)
Qiu Xiyin took out a thick stack of one hundred taels of silver tickets, and saw that Ning Hengzhi, who was sitting next to her, stared at her, and asked in a low voice, "Why do you have so much money?" β
Qiu Xiyin was inexplicable, "You didn't?" β
Ning Hengzhi, "......"
I feel like I don't want to talk to this dead girl for the rest of my life!
As soon as the song "No Resentment" was sung, the little novices also dragged the heavy cloth bags back to the high platform, Ning Shenzhi muttered jealously, "In this short half a day, I may not be able to earn the silver in my life."
Since entering the Shuntian Mansion and starting to earn money to support his family, Ning Hengzhi has deeply understood the benefits of money.
Feng Zhinan reminded, "You pay five taels a month, or Jing Zhaoyin gives more in front of your cousin, and what Guangyinyin gives is enough for you to earn for a lifetime."
Ning Hengzhi, "......"
That's enough!
Wouldn't you earn less? Is it a person who is guilty of mocking him?
At this time, Liansheng led two groups of monks up to the high platform and sat down cross-legged, and the little novice who was waiting beside him carried a gong and struck it three times.
There was a sudden silence in the field, and everyone unconsciously straightened their backs, Master Liansheng was going to pick someone to approve and pray!
"According to the rules of previous years, Master Lotus will pray for the three people present, please open the peace charm, and if there is a lotus flower painted by Master Lotus himself, please come to the stage."
There was a commotion in the audience, and Ning Hengzhi muttered, "I didn't choose it like this in previous years," and as he spoke, he opened the peace charm in his hand, and it was empty.
When he squinted, he saw a blooming lotus flower painted on the peace charm in Qiu Xiyin's hand, fresh and beautiful, and jumped on the paper.
Ning Hengzhi was about to speak, Qiu Xiyin suddenly grabbed the peace charm and stuffed it into his hand.
Ning Hengzhi, "......"
What happened?
Qiu Xiyin smiled at him and whispered, "I owe me a favor."
Everyone around was dismantling the peace charm, but no one noticed their small movements, only Feng Zhinan's eyes moved slightly, but there was no more movement.
Ning Hengzhi held the peace talisman and thought about it, nodded seriously, and lowered his voice and said, "Qiu San, it just so happens that I have something I want to ask, otherwise I will never take advantage of you, this time I owe you a big favor, you can ask me for it at any time."
Qiu Xiyin nodded, and at this time, there was a commotion in the back area, and a crisp female voice shouted in surprise, "I have a lotus!" I have! β
Immediately, the guards who maintained order stepped forward, and the commotion immediately subsided, and the girl swept the greedy crowd around her, and carefully followed the guards to the high platform.
The girl went up to the high platform, and knelt in front of Liansheng, and Liansheng returned the salute together, "The female benefactor, please get up."
But the girl refused to get up, and looked up at him with obsessive eyes, "Master Lotus Sheng, I want to beg you to give me the robe!" β
Ning Hengzhi couldn't help but laugh out loud, Liansheng was obviously a little confused, and subconsciously said, "Girl, the robe of the poor monk can't protect the girl, the girl might as well go to the temple and invite a Bodhisattva."
The girl shook her head violently, "I don't want the master to protect me!" I just want the master's robe, no, the master can give me the shoes! β
Lotus Sheng, "......"
The lively young men in the audience were already laughing, and Li Shoufu shouted, "What kind of system? Don't rush it yet! β
The girl shouted in a panic, "Don't drive me down! Master Rinpoche! I just want one piece of personal wear from you! I didn't dare to think about it! β
Liansheng's fair face has been quietly dyed with light powder, he untied the prayer beads wrapped around his wrist, sent them to the girl, and said softly, "Girl, the poor monk is really inconvenient to give you the robe, this string of prayer beads has been with the poor monk for several years, perennial soaked in incense, I hope to protect the girl from illness and disaster, and die in peace."
The girl held the rosary and wept bitterly, and kowtowed repeatedly, "Thank you, Master!" Thank you, Master! β
The girl cried and went down in the jealous eyes of everyone, it was the Buddha bead that Master Lotus Sheng had worn for many years, and it must have spirituality!
Not counting this, there is a sharp eye to see clearly, the string of Buddhist beads is made of the finest rosewood, and it must be worth it when it comes to thousands of children on the market!
Ning Hengzhi stood up and shouted, "The second one is here!" β
For a while, all the eyes from the left and right looked over, Ning Hengzhi was very proud, and deliberately walked slowly to the high platform, and asked, "Do you really know everything?" β
Liansheng bowed his head and folded, "Most of them don't know."
Ning Hengzhi's smile froze, and he threw the peace charm in his hand in front of him, "Forget it, the master doesn't play these Buddha words with you, let me ask you, my brother's relativesββ"
Before he finished speaking, Ning Shenzhi in the audience shouted, "At the end!" Shut up! β
Ning Hengzhi choked and turned red, and looked at Ning Shenzhi unconvinced, "The peace charm I got, I just want to ask this!" β
Ning Shenzhi's face was as pale as ice, "Ask if there are any natural disasters in Daxiao."
Ning Hengzhi stared at him and didn't speak, one of the brothers was on the stage, and the other was staring at each other offstage, Ning Shenzhi sighed heavily, "Ning Hengzhi!" β
Ning Hengzhi stomped his foot indignantly, was defeated, and asked unwillingly, "Ask you, are there any natural and man-made disasters in Daxiao!" β
"Amitabha, King Ning Jun and Second Master Ning are concerned about the people, which is really the blessing of the people."
Lian Sheng closed his eyes and sat down, time passed little by little, and most of the people in the stands were powerful officials, or their family children, who were very concerned about where there would be natural disasters, but they did not wait impatiently, but the people on the periphery were obviously agitated, and immediately there were guards to maintain order, and the field was quiet again.
Time passed little by little, the sun had risen overhead, Liansheng finally opened his eyes, and said weakly, "Hejian Mansion, Earth Movement, October 17, Nanning Mansion, Tsunami, Earth Movement, Haikou-"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood and planted it forward, Ning Hengzhi was shocked, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to support it, and screamed.
Shouting out the exclamations of Master Liansheng one after another, Ning Shenzhi stood up and shouted, "Don't mess around, there is still a person with a lotus peace charm left, and the rest of the people, disperse!" β
"Obey the Admiral's Order!"
The bell-like echoes came from all directions, and the commotion of the crowd suddenly quieted down, and slowly and orderly dispersed from the East City to various places under the watchful eyes of the guards with light armor and spears.
Although Qiu Xiyin was worried about Liansheng, he also knew that he couldn't cause chaos at this time, and after the people dispersed, he and Feng Zhinan left unhurriedly.
In the afternoon of the same day, Liansheng was personally sent to Qiu's Mansion by Ning Shenzhi, and Qiu Shixing and Mrs. Qiu went out of the gate to greet him.
Ning Shenzhi arched his hand and said, "Master Liansheng is for the country and the people, and the emperor originally wanted to keep the master in the palace to recuperate, but Master Liansheng was worried about the old man and Mrs. Tai and insisted on coming to the Qiu Mansion, so Ning had to send him here and disturb the mansion."
Qiu Shixing and Mrs. Qiu didn't dare to say anything, Ning Shenzhi glanced at Mrs. Qiu's side, Qiu Xiyin didn't come out, lowered his eyes and saluted, "Then Master Liansheng will hand it over to the old gentleman and Mrs. Tai, and Ning will retire."
Mrs. Qiu looked at his movements of raising his eyes and lowering his eyes, and blurted out, "King Ningjun will come in and have a cup of tea?" β
Ning Shenzhi's eyes lit up slightly, and then he lowered his eyelashes again, "The house must be busy at this time, Ning will come to visit in two days."

Liansheng stayed in Qiufu again, and Xiao Yin resumed his frequent visitation.
Soon in October, Qiu Zheng recovered from his injuries, and he couldn't shirk it in every way, so he was awarded the post of secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and on the second day of his appointment, Xiao Chengzong was awarded the title of Minister of Qincha, so as to allow Xuanfu to evacuate the people.
At this time, there was exactly half a month left before the October 17th approved by Liansheng.
At the same time, the Xie family came with news that the nine girls of the Feng family had contracted dysentery after just three days on the road, and they were sick and couldn't get up.
It is too late to get married in Feng's hot filial piety, and it is useless to rush to the capital again, so I can only wait until three years later to talk about the big wedding.
Qiu Xiyin was depressed and unhappy when she heard it, Xie Jiashu had to keep his mother's filial piety for three years, and thank the guests behind closed doors, not to mention that the Qiu family and the Xie family had broken off their relations, even before, she didn't have the reason to visit often, if the nine girls of the Feng family married, at least they could relieve Xie Jiashu's sadness and loneliness.
Liansheng saw that she was sullen, and asked the reason, Qiu Xiyin would not hide it from him, according to the truth, Liansheng shook his head and sighed, half a month has passed, his injury has almost healed, but he has no intention of returning to Xiaoxiangguo Temple.
Hejian Mansion is not far from Jingshi, he predicted such a disaster, Ning Shenzhi wanted to leave him in the capital to stabilize people's hearts.
Hejian Mansion is rich and has many people, so forcibly repatriation, labor and money, if there is no land movement at that time, the court itself also needs people to accept the guilt.
Qiu Xiyin still has doubts about the fact that Liansheng will approve fortune and fortune, in his previous life, Liansheng did not have such a ability at all.
She remembers very clearly, on October 17, the Hejian Mansion was shaken, and even the capital was shaken, with countless casualties, but fortunately, Ning Shenzhi responded properly and did not cause a riot epidemic.
However, in less than three months, an unprecedented tsunami occurred in the South China Sea, causing ground movements, and the Haikou took advantage of the chaos to rise, and the entire Nanning Mansion turned into a hell on earth.
Just out of the first month, Xiao Chengzong fell ill and collapsed, Empress Dowager Zhang followed under sadness, the prince ascended the throne, the Su family fought for power, and Ning Shen was worried about internal and external troubles.
That year, she happened to be in time, and Ning Shenzhi couldn't wait to welcome her in after the national funeral, which was not much different from the reason why he married Miao Jingya back then.
In his previous life, Qiu Zhengshen relied on his ability and ability to climb step by step from a small Hanlin to the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and his power and influence inside and outside the court were extremely great, instead of taking over the young master thrown to him by Xiaochengzong like child's play in this life, and now he took over the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Industry from Ning Shenzhi in the midst of criticism......
"What is Yin thinking?"
Qiu Xiyin smiled, "I wonder why Brother Liansheng suddenly entered the Buddha Gate and has such great magical powers?" β
Liansheng smiled, "I'm thinking about it too."
Qiu Xiyin blinked, "Then Brother Liansheng won't go back to Jiangnan in the future?" β
Liansheng smiled gently, "Everything in the world has its own cause and effect, and it also has its own cause and effect to come one day."
Qiu Xiyin pouted, "Forget it, I won't play meditation with you, I'll play the song just now, you can help me see what else is wrong."
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Time passed day by day, not only Hejian Mansion, but also the atmosphere in the capital became more and more tense, Mrs. Qiu and Mrs. Qiu burned incense and prayed every day, asking the Buddha to bless Qiu Zhengshen to go smoothly.
In this stormy atmosphere, the seventeenth day finally arrived, and Liansheng prepared a sumptuous and delicious meal for Qiu Shixing, Mrs. Qiu and Qiu Xiyin as usual, discussed knowledge, calligraphy and painting with Qiu Shixing and Qiu Xiyin, and accompanied Mrs. Qiu to study medicinal diet and health preservation, just like countless days before.
After lunch, Qiu Xiyin rubbed her stomach and sighed and fell asleep, Liansheng wanted to stay in Qiu's Mansion for a while, she might be able to grow as fat as her mother.
As soon as Qiu Xiyin woke up, he found that the weather had darkened in the morning, the wind blew the bananas in front of the window, and the air was full of the sound of parrots quacking and flying.
Qiu Xiyin raised his voice to call Xiujin, but it was Huizhong who came in, and said with a smile, "Girl, forgive me, Xiujin's girl was afraid that the parrot would disturb the girl's sleep, so she took a bamboo pole to catch the parrot at noon, and she is still guarding outside."
Qiu Xiyin's heart was soft, and Huizhong waited to wash and change clothes, Huizhong said, "Girl, Liu Shang sent someone to say, the girl who received the Buddha beads of Master Liansheng that day, the king of Ningjun sent people to greet the Xicheng commander, and the people who wanted to snatch her Buddha beads were deterred by the people of the Xicheng Soldiers and Horses, we don't have to waste manpower to protect it, let the slave maid come and ask the girl, can it be withdrawn."
Qiu Xiyin was stunned, "King Ningjun? β
Huizhong said with a smile, "The slave and maid also can't believe it, what a big official is King Ningjun, he is in charge of national affairs, but he didn't expect such a small matter, he is willing to reach out to help."
Qiu Xiyin didn't answer, and Huizhong said again, "Girl, the slave and maid saw that everyone in the mansion was probing their brains into the guest house where Master Liansheng lived, and even the lady couldn't help but send someone to take a look, and I don't know when this Hejian Mansion will move."
Qiu Xiyin thought for a while and said, "Find a piece of clothing to go out."
Hui Zhong was surprised, "It's going to rain outside, and the girl is going out?" β
Qiu Xiyin nodded, and said, "Let Liu Shang withdraw his manpower, is there any news from the Su family?" β
"It's still the same, Lord Chu once found an excuse to befriend Sixth Master Su, but he was blocked back."
Qiu Xiyin smiled, "He is now infamous, who else in this capital dares to make friends with him?" β
Qiu Xiyin changed into a wide-sleeved blouse dyed with smoke in the lake, and wore a white plum blossom skirt with a moot cage, Huizhong combed her with a single screw bun neatly, put an opal headband on her, and put a pair of plum blossom knots on the hairpin, and asked, "By the way, girl, where are your pair of opal beads?" Why don't you see the girl wearing it? β
Qiu Xiyin said, "I'm too old to wear it."
Huizhong sneered, "The girl said that she was old before she could reach the flute, so wouldn't this headband be even more unwearable?" β
Qiu Xiyin was stunned and said, "You're right."
Xie Jiashu is already engaged, and her mother is about to welcome her cousin when her filial piety ends, this headband, she can't wear it, but it's really not suitable to wear it every day, so as not to arouse suspicion.
Qiu Xiyin took off the headband with both hands and said, "Find a box to put it in the warehouse and put it in the warehouse."
Huizhong was stunned for a while, and asked worriedly, "Girl, did the slave say the wrong thing?" β
Qiu Xiyin shook his head, "No, you're right."
Huizhong looked at her uneasily, and went to look for a box to put a headband without mentioning it.
