Chapter 59: I'll give you a string of Buddhist beads
He knew that his illness was a bit difficult to handle, although Jiang Yu didn't talk to him about this matter in detail, and only asked him not to worry, but he had been in the hospital for a few months, and there was no reason why he didn't understand. If only the Buddha could bless him, he would be able to help his aunt share more, and her aunt would not have to work so hard to make a living, and sometimes he would come back in the middle of the night to study new dishes - he would sometimes be woken up when he slept lightly.
…… All in all, Jiang An was also a little sullen when he looked at his aunt when he was tired.
Jiang Yu thought for a while, reached out and touched Jiang An's head and asked, "Does An An think it is useful to ask for Buddha?" ”
She doesn't believe in this, as a modern person, Jiang Yu doesn't engage in feudal superstition at all. But in this day and age, if you say that you don't believe it, I'm afraid it will make people feel uncomfortable. But, as the saying goes, the son does not speak to the strange power of God, perhaps......
Jiang An shook his head, his father once told him that it was better to seek Buddha than to seek himself, but he didn't know if it was useful, but he wanted to give it a try when he heard about it. What if, in case he gets better, he himself is happy, and his aunt doesn't have to work so hard, isn't it killing two birds with one stone?
Jiang Yu saw him hesitating, thinking that he might as well take him to Changqing Temple for a walk, even if it didn't work, take a break and take a look at Xue Zongxing, right? Jiang An is bored in the medical hall and is about to grow mushrooms. She touched Jiang An's soft hair and turned her heart sideways, "It just so happens that the restaurant will be on vacation tomorrow, and my aunt will take you to Changqing Temple to see if there will really be a Buddha apparition?" ”
Jiang An was very happy, and went to bed early under Jiang Yu's persuasion, and his mind was full of going out tomorrow. Are there really a lot of people who burn incense and worship the Buddha? Do the monks there all wear Buddhist beads, and what do they look like? If they don't eat meat, they should be very thin, right? Thinking like this, Jiang An fell asleep in a daze.
If Jiang Yu heard what he was thinking, he was afraid that he would laugh at him again.
Early the next morning, Jiang Yu took Jiang An to have a little breakfast outside and went to Changqing Temple.
During the period from the New Year to the Lantern Festival in Nancheng, there is an endless stream of people who offer incense. Because he was in the suburbs, Jiang Yu hired a carriage to go with Jiang An, in addition to them, there were many carriages on the road, and at first glance they were people who went to Changqing Temple to offer incense, and this direction could only go to Anshan.
The journey was not too long, and when Jiang Yu was still a little dozing, the coachman reminded them that they had arrived.
Jiang Yu took Jiang An's hand, and the two of them looked at the temple curiously. Changqing Temple is only famous in the Nancheng area, to say that there are more temples with incense and healing, Nancheng is still a small place, and this reputation cannot be spread outside. Although winter has not yet passed, there are already dead branches in the mountains quietly spitting out some new shoots that are not easy to be noticed. Jiang Yu sighed in his heart, worthy of the south, spring also came early.
There are a lot of people in Changqing Temple today, and Jiang Yu held Jiang An's hand so that he would not get lost. It was the first time Jiang An had come to the temple, and he couldn't help but look left and right. The evergreen temple is built on the mountain, and there is a clear spring behind the mountain, even if the scenery is scarce now, it is very attractive.
There were many people who were incense, and the two of them lined up behind the long line, Jiang Yu tiptoed slightly and looked up to see how many people there were, and he was a little deflated after counting. How many people! I'm afraid it's going to take a long time. She was thinking in her heart, fortunately she brought some pastries with her to starve, and when she went down the mountain to see what Jiang An would eat, suddenly a joking voice came from behind her, "Yo, little girl, it's quite a coincidence." ”
This person is Zhao Jing. Isn't there a place for recreation in Nancheng, he was really depressed during the New Year. He had heard of Changqing Temple for a long time, but Zhao Jing himself didn't believe in gods and Buddhas, so he didn't like to come to this kind of place.
But Zhao Jing didn't believe it, his mother did, and every year she would go to the temple to offer incense and then drag Zhao Jing to listen to the master chanting Buddha. Xu is so many years after listening to Zhao Jing is a little used to it, I can't listen to it and think strangely, it just so happened that Moshu told him that the scenery of Changqing Temple is good, he thought that he would come or come, anyway, it is also idle in Nancheng and grows mushrooms.
Jiang Yu's brain buzzed as soon as he heard this voice. She really didn't want to pay attention to Zhao Jing anymore after she made the snacks he ordered for Zhao Jing last time! This person is not only difficult to serve, but also has a young master's temper, who can stand it?! Why can you still meet here?
Could it be that this is the legendary family that does not get together, she wants to see whoever she doesn't want to see! At this moment, Jiang Yu suddenly remembered Wang Shaoci, everyone had known each other for almost a few days, why did the tempers of the two people be very different!
Speaking of which, Jiang Yu didn't know what Zhao Jing's name was, and he didn't bother to call him, so he turned to look at him, and said with a smile: "The son also came to offer incense, what a coincidence, is it for you to ask for marriage?" ”
This is a bit poisonous, Miss Jiang! Murder and heartbreaking! Mo Shu pulled the corners of his mouth silently, his son-in-law was actually bored and had no place to stay before he came to Changqing Temple to hang out. But as soon as Jiang Yu opened his mouth, he complained about him, and he was holding his breath in and out of his words, and Moshu thought to himself that it was really a narrow road.
If Jiang Yu knew Moshu's thoughts, Jiang Yu would definitely shout, confidant!
Zhao Jing unfolded his folding fan, and this swaggering and uninhibited appearance made Jiang Yu's teeth ache even more. He looked at Jiang Yu's face darkening all of a sudden, looking not very happy, he was in a very good mood, Jiang Yu felt that his smug expression almost flew into the sky, "What kind of marriage does this son want, there are more girls who want to marry me, but Miss Jiang, you should ask for a marriage, otherwise you can't marry with such a bad temper." ”
Moshu looked at them as he took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. These are all unforgiving Lords! Can't be provoked, can't be provoked!
Jiang An glared at Zhao Jing, as if he was very dissatisfied with him saying this about his aunt. At this time, Zhao Jingcai saw a small radish head beside Jiang Yu, and couldn't help but look surprised, "Oh? Could it be that this son has lost his eyes, and you have already married out? ”
Jiang Yu really wanted to stab him blind. Even if she got married early in ancient times, she didn't have a five or six-year-old child at a young girl's house! Aren't his eyes going to heaven with his temper?
However, Jiang An was a little unconvinced, with a stubborn face, and took the first step to speak loudly: "This is my aunt, my mother is no longer there." ”
When he heard this, even Zhao Jing was a little embarrassed, he seemed to have poked at the wounds of other children......
Mo Shu also touched his nose in embarrassment, and the master and servant looked at each other and didn't know what to say. In the end, it is Moshu who is clever, and he is the best at observing words and feelings, and when he saw that Jiang An's face was wrong, he smiled and said: "Don't be angry, my son-in-law has no words, don't take it to heart." ”
Jiang An was silent, turned his head away from them, and spoke to Jiang Yu in a sullen voice, "Auntie, it's almost us." ”
Jiang Yu nodded, and the two of them ignored Zhao Jing anymore and went into the hall to offer incense.
Zhao Jing also touched his nose like Moshu, covered his mouth with a fan, and whispered to him: "I said, why is this kid so bad-tempered like this girl?" ”
Mo Shuxin said that you don't want to open a pot, how normal it is for people to be unwilling to pay attention to you, but he didn't dare to say this, and responded with low eyebrows: "The little boy must feel uncomfortable when he hears the sad thing, and the son should not be too serious." ”
"Well, what a ...... Go back and tell the abbot to give them the enlightened Buddha beads that my son begged for, and it will be compensated. Zhao Jing said indifferently. He thought that he hadn't returned to the capital this year, and his mother believed in Buddhism, and it would be good to give her a string of enlightened Buddhist beads if there were nothing good in Nancheng. In the final analysis, it's just a gadget, although it was opened by the abbot of Changqing Temple, but Changqing Temple is not very famous, at least Zhao Jing has not heard of it in Beijing, and he doesn't care much.
In the same way, Moshu doesn't care too much, their wife's vision is high, ordinary things can't get into the eye, and if you want to send something, you can go back and pick it up. So he didn't have any objections, nodded and prepared to ask the abbot for the string of Buddhist beads for a while.
Jiang Yu and Jiang An knelt in front of the Buddha and prayed sincerely. Jiang Yu hoped that they could live a peaceful life again, and the two of them finally escaped, and they really didn't want to be scared anymore. She also wants Jiang An's body to get better, so that she can be worthy of her sister-in-law's entrustment, even if she encounters an accident in this world one day, she will have the face to go down to see the ancestors of the Jiang family.
Jiang An also hopes that he can get better as soon as possible and stop causing trouble to his aunt. Although he was still young, these things were prematurely pressed on Jiang Yu's shoulders and on his shoulders. He felt that he was a little dragging down Jiang Yu - he didn't dare to mention this to Jiang Yu, for fear that she would be sad.
But Jiang An really thinks so.
If the Buddha blesses him, his illness will slowly improve, his aunt will not be so tired, he will not be afraid of the cold, and he can go up the mountain with other children to catch fish - although Jiang An played with them, he was not in good health and could not go into the water, so he could only watch them frolic by the stream.
The two of them had a stick of incense on their hearts, Jiang Yu rubbed her knees that were a little sore, she was kneeling like this for the first time since she was a child, and she was a little unaccustomed to it, and she was also a little uncomfortable when she got up, probably because she had been sleeping cold recently. Jiang An also rubbed it.
As soon as the two of them went out, they saw that Zhao Jing was still standing outside the door, but it didn't seem to be waiting for the incense, as if they were waiting for them.
Jiang Yu didn't want to pay attention to him, but he was afraid that he would follow him as soon as he left, so he took Jiang An's hand and stood in place and looked at Zhao Jing to see what he was going to do.
Zhao Jing looked at Jiang Yu with a smile and raised his chin at Moshu, who immediately handed the string of Buddhist beads in his hand to Jiang Yu, "Miss Jiang, this is the Buddha beads that the master of Changqing Temple has consecrated, and it is a little bit of my son-in-law's heart." ”
The Buddha beads are round and full, the middle bead is a rare black, shiny and translucent, with a very small Buddha statue carved on it, and a few next to it are engraved with some words - it doesn't look like an ordinary Buddha bead.
