Today is a good weather, the sky is clear, the blue sky is like washing, Xie Zheng then took the jade branch to the Jiming Temple to worship the Buddha, the master and servant entered the Daxiong Treasure Hall together, Xie Zheng instructed the jade branch to donate merit money, and then went to the futon and knelt down, closed his eyes to worship.

Yuzhi donated the merit money early, seeing that Xie Zheng was still worshipping the Buddha, she stood next to her and waited, and when Xie Zheng paid homage, she immediately stepped forward to help her up, Xie Zheng put incense, and the two were about to leave, before they walked to the door, and were about to go out, when they suddenly heard a very gentle and benevolent voice behind them, "The donor seems to be very impetuous." ”

Xie Zheng was stunned for a moment, and when she looked back, she saw that it was an old monk with white eyebrows, she smiled slightly, and only asked, "What is the master's opinion?" She didn't refute it, because she knew that her heart really couldn't be still.

The old monk was kind and kind-eyed, and also smiled at Xie Zheng, and said: "According to the old man's foolish opinion, his heart is impetuous, but he has been poisoned by the three poisons, that is, greed, hatred, and stupidity. ”

"How can I solve it?" Xie Zheng was interested.

The old monk clasped his hands together and said very reverently: "The Buddha said: 'Cultivate the precepts diligently and fix wisdom, and extinguish greed and hatred'. ”

Xie Zheng chuckled, she didn't seem to agree, she said lightly: "All the believer wants is the health of her family, why be greedy and angry?" ”

The old monk glanced sideways at the Buddha statue in the main hall, and said to Xie Zheng: "In front of the Buddha, don't talk in vain. ”

Xie Zheng was surprised in his heart, looked at the old monk in front of him, and wondered how he knew that she had lied, could it be that she was really a high-ranking monk?

"So, does the master know what the believer wants?"

The old monk smiled and said nothing, Xie Zheng knew what he meant, so he asked: "Since this is the case, then dare to ask the master, when will the girl's wish be granted?" ”

"Wrong, the donor should ask the old man if he can get what he wants, not when."

Xie Zheng's heart was cold, the old monk's meaning, what she asked in her heart, was actually not able to get her wish.

Yuzhi was not as good-tempered as Xie Zheng, so he immediately said angrily: "What does the master mean by this? My lady often comes to Jiming Temple to worship the Buddha, but there is no less money for you to add sesame oil, why don't you say a few good words to listen, but also say this kind of thing to add to my lady's heart! ”

The old monk smiled at Yuzhi: "The truth, but this benefactor himself wants to listen." ”

Yuzhi was angry: "You ......"

"Yuzhi, don't be rude!" Xie Zheng reprimanded, interrupted her words, and then asked the old monk, "Does the master know who I am?" ”

"You know, the donor is one of the many living beings."

Xie Zheng breathed a long sigh of relief, "If the master knew who I was, he should understand me. ”

"Everything in the world has cause and effect, and some things are already predestined in the dark and cannot be disobeyed."

"What if I insist on disobedience?"

The old monk sighed lightly and didn't speak again, Xie Zheng then said: "I don't believe in fate, not to mention that the Buddha also said that life is made by oneself, since the Buddha let me survive by luck, there must be his old man's truth, master, do you say yes?" ”

"Heaven's will cannot be violated," the old monk shook his head slightly, Xie Zheng smiled faintly, and only asked, "I don't know what the master is called?" ”

"Amitabha," the old monk bowed his head slightly, and said, "The old monk's name is Huiyuan." ”

"Master Huiyuan, although I don't agree with your idea, thank you for your teaching today, farewell," Xie Zheng also saluted the old monk, and then turned around and stepped out of the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

The old monk suddenly said: "It's going to rain, and the donor has an umbrella." ”

Xie Zheng was slightly stunned when she heard this, she looked up at the sky, thought for a while, and then turned back to the old monk and nodded in thanks, the master and servant walked farther, and Yuzhi said: "Look at this day, how can it rain." ”

As Yuzhi spoke, he strode up to Xie Zheng, walked side by side with her, and said, "Lady, what the old monk said, don't take it to heart, he is lying to you, counting on you to donate more merit money." ”

It's okay not to mention it, but as soon as Yuzhi mentioned it like this, Xie Zheng's heart became even more unhappy, "Since I have heard it in my ears, how can I not take it to heart?" In my opinion, what Master Huiyuan said doesn't seem to be false. ”

"What does he say? Then he just said that it will rain today, and the lady thinks this rain can come down? ”

As she was talking, a bean-sized raindrop fell on Yuzhi's forehead, and before Yuzhi could react, she touched her forehead and realized that the rain was really falling.

She froze in place, looking at the wet rain on her fingertips, revealing an unbelievable expression, Xie Zheng looked up at the sky and muttered: "Is it ......all true?"

The carriage of the Hou Mansion stopped outside the mountain gate, and the two of them happened to have walked out of the mountain gate at this time, Yuzhi looked at Xie Zheng, lest she be confused, so he immediately pulled her towards the carriage and shouted: "I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily, let's hurry up." ”

The rain was heavy, the rain was small, and the two of them were not yet wet, but they got into the carriage, and in the blink of an eye, the rain suddenly became heavier, and they only heard the crackling rain outside the carriage, and they knew that it was a rainstorm today.

The coachman drove a few feet away from the rain and stopped, turned around and shouted into the carriage: "Xie Niangzi, this rain is fierce, I'm afraid I can't go, or I still don't go, I will rest in Jiming Temple tonight, what do you think?" ”

Xie Zheng lifted the curtain and glanced out, she had also made up her mind to stay in Jiming Temple, but unexpectedly saw the Shen family's carriage galloping and stopped outside the temple, sitting on the seat in front of Sun Wei, the car must be Shen Wenhe, looking at the rain today, Shen Wenhe must also stay in Jiming Temple tonight, so how can she stay here?

"The old man is here, it's inconvenient to stay longer, let's go," Xie Zheng hurriedly lowered the curtains, but the coachman couldn't resist her, so he had to follow her wishes and drive away.

Shen Wenhe had an umbrella on the car, Sun Wei opened the umbrella and stood under the carriage, took a hand to help Shen Wenhe down, and the two walked towards the temple, walked through the mountain gate, Shen Wenhe suddenly turned around, just because he saw a beautiful scholar girl standing under the eaves of the mountain gate.

He looked at the girl, she was wearing a forged Luo skirt, and her feet were embroidered shoes with beads, delicate and small, and her neck was still hung with jewels, fifteen or sixteen years old, her palm-sized face was carved with jade, and her forehead was short and fashionable, looking very immature, and she knew at a glance that she was a lady who had not left the cabinet.

Seeing that the little lady was standing under the eaves with the accompanying maid, it seemed that she didn't have an umbrella, so he snatched the umbrella from Sun Wei's hand, walked to the little lady, held an umbrella for her to block the rain, and said gently: "Look at today's rain, I'm afraid it won't stop for a while." ”

The little lady was so embarrassed that her face was flushed, so she took a step back, far away from Shen Wenhe, she turned her head and looked at the maid, and then turned around, but she lowered her head, not daring to look at Shen Wenhe.

"In Xia Wuxing Shen Erdan, didn't ask the name of the lady?" Shen Wenhe deliberately did not say his name, but only reported the words.

"The little woman's surname is Lu, and her maiden name is Dai Xin......" She raised her eyes and glanced at Shen Wenhe timidly, and then lowered her head again.

Shen Wenhe thought about it for a while, and then asked, "The lady's surname is Lu?" But Fan Yangren's clan? ”

"Yes."

Shen Wenhe glanced at the direction of the Daxiong Treasure Hall and said, "I am just going to the Daxiong Hall to worship the Buddha, if the lady doesn't mind, you can go with me." ”

"I ...... I ......" Lu Daixin slurred as he spoke, he was embarrassed to hold the same umbrella as the man in front of him, Shen Wenhe saw the situation, and without saying anything, he took her hand, forced the umbrella into her hand, and said: "Don't get in the way, this umbrella, use it." ”

He said that, without waiting for Lu Daixin to reply, he rushed into the rain, drenched in the rain and ran to the Daxiong Treasure Palace, Lu Daixin's face was already red, his eyebrows were furrowed, he stood under the eaves and looked at Shen Wenhe's tall and majestic back at this moment, Bei Yan bit his red lips, and her heart was clearly spring, she murmured: "Thank you Langjun......"

When Xie Zheng returned to the Hou Mansion, the rain had already decreased a lot, and it was really annoying.

The porter saw her come back, ran to hand over the umbrella, Yuzhi held up the umbrella, followed her into the house, the two passed by the guest hall, Xie Zheng turned his head, and saw something on the desk in the guest hall from a distance, she was suspicious, so she approached to take a closer look, Yuzhi was surprised: "Is it an invitation?" ”

Xie Zheng picked up the invitation card and looked at it, and said suspiciously: "Lu Ji has a birthday, why did he invite him to the Hou Mansion." ”
