Yingchun entered Mrs. Sun's main room, Mrs. Sun had already cleaned up, and Sun Huiyan, the second lady, and Yicai stood beside Mrs. Sun. Mrs. Sun asked Sun Huiyan, "What about Ying'er's girl?" ”

"The second sister said that she was not happy, so she didn't come to see her mother."

In front of Yicai, Mrs. Sun couldn't say anything, just shook her head helplessly.

Yingchun hurriedly diverted the conversation, and said to Yicai with a smile: "My cousin is very beautiful today. ”

Yicai blushed and lowered her head, "The third cousin made fun of me, it's hard for me to go out, I'm afraid that I will lose my etiquette and make people laugh." ”

Everyone smiled, the second lady and Yingchun didn't speak, and Mrs. Sun looked at Yingchun, "Are the cars ready?" ”

Yingchun hurriedly replied: "They are all waiting outside the door." ”

Mrs. Sun nodded and said to the second lady, "Let's go out, you should take care of the family's affairs." ”

The second lady smiled and agreed.

Mai Dong and Qingdai helped Mrs. Sun out of the room, and Yingchun and the second lady followed. The second lady kept sending Mrs. Sun to the side of the carriage before she stood still, "Mother, be careful along the way." ”

Old Mrs. Sun nodded, waved her hand to the second lady, and got into the carriage. The second lady smiled at Mrs. Sun who was sitting in the carriage, and smiled with the smile that a filial daughter-in-law should have.

Yingchun also got into a carriage. Yicai and Sun Huiyan took a carriage, and several carriages went to the Mahayana Temple in the south of the city. The second lady looked at the carriage in the distance before returning to the courtyard. The old lady was not at home, and neither was the shrewd concubine, and that was her really comfortable day.

The carriage walked for half an hour before it came to a slow stop. The coachman replied outside, "Madam, the Mahayana Temple has arrived." ”

Si Zhu got out of the car first, then lifted the curtain of the car and helped Yingchun's hand: "Madam, slow down." ”

Yingchun got out of the car and walked towards the car in front, and Mai Dong also got out of the car at this time. Yingchun stepped forward and helped Mrs. Sun get out of the car with Mai Dong.

Mrs. Sun got out of the car and looked at the stone steps that stretched in front of the mountain gate and the temple where the cigarettes curled, "It's really quiet today," Mrs. Sun looked at the car behind her, only to see Yicai and Sun Huiyan also walking down and walking towards Mrs. Sun. Old Mrs. Sun stepped on the steps first, "Let's go, let's go in." ”

The group walked towards the mountain gate, and the people of the Sun Mansion had already guarded the mountain gate, and the old lady Sun led everyone into the temple gate and went directly to the Daxiong Treasure Palace. Several people worshiped the Buddha Shakyamuni, the master of the Mahavira Temple, and put incense on them one by one. Old Mrs. Sun turned back to Yingchun behind her and asked, "Have you ever prepared a layman's dormitory for rest?" ”

Yingchun hurriedly replied: "Yesterday, my daughter-in-law asked people to come and see, and I have already booked a few rooms with the master here, and after a while, my mother and sisters are tired, so I can go to the back squatter room to rest." ”

Mrs. Sun looked at Yingchun and showed a satisfied smile, this daughter-in-law is thoughtful.

Mrs. Sun was in excellent spirits today, and took a group of people to worship the Jizo Temple, the Three Temples, and the Luohan Hall, and walked around the tower to pray for blessings. Yingchun stepped forward and said to Mrs. Sun: "Mother, let's rest first, after sitting in the carriage for so long, and worshipping the Buddha again, now it's time for Mother to go and rest, and I'll ask the masters in a while, please come over with some fasting." ”

Mrs. Sun nodded, and was helped by Yingchun to the back dormitory.

Old Lady Sun looked at the auspicious beasts in the corners of the halls around her, and said to Yingchun: "Ying'er, have you heard such a story? ”

Yingchun smiled, "My daughter-in-law is willing to listen to what her mother has to say." ”

"Once upon a time, there was a poor man who had not yet married a wife in his thirties, and he heard that there was a thousand-year-old ash tree on the hill behind their village, and when he heard that the bark of this tree could be sold for twenty taels of silver a pound in a medicine shop, the poor man was moved to go to the mountain to cut down the tree. Because of the long distance, when the poor man reached the thousand-year-old ash tree, he was so tired that he fell asleep against the tree. ”

"The poor man had a dream, dreaming that the old tree begged him, begged him to let himself go, as long as it was half a month later, the old tree became an immortal and took off his mortal body, he didn't have to care about this bark, even if the poor man cut him down, it would be nothing. But the poor man did not obey, and cried out, 'I will have skinned you earlier so that I can marry a daughter-in-law!' A dream word woke up the poor man, who immediately sat up and took off the bark of the thousand-year-old ash tree. ”

The poor man was so happy that he carried a large roll of bark on his back and went to the pharmacy. The shopkeeper in the pharmacy was very happy to see that there was business, and weighed the bark with a scale. The poor do not know the scales, and fear that the shopkeeper will have to deceive him. The treasurer swore an oath: 'If I deceive you, I will be your son in the next life!' ’”

When the poor man heard this, he was relieved, and sold all the bark to the drugstore, and made a profit, and married a daughter-in-law. I don't want to, this life is over, the poor are reincarnated into a woman, married a husband, and has a daughter, the husband's family is good, but it is very undignified, and after getting married, the meal will be eaten a big shirt, no matter how many people are there, the sound of eating is as loud as thunder. The woman could only weep secretly, regretting that her parents should not have let her give this person easily. ”

Later, the woman went to the temple and asked the master about the fate of herself and her husband, and the master told her the story of the previous child, and the master also said with a smile: Your daughter is the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, and he did coax you at that time and gave you a short pound of two catties, so in this life he did not become your son, but became your daughter. The Master told the benefactor: If you want to know the cause of the past life, the recipient of this life is; If you want to know the fruits of the afterlife, you will be the one who does it in this life. ”

Yingchun laughed softly. Mrs. Sun looked at Yingchun beside her, "It can be seen that the cause and effect are not happy at all, I don't know what the fate of our family was in the last life." ”

Yingchun smiled and said, "I may not know about others, but I think my mother and I must be excellent cause and effect, so my mother treats me very well." ”

Mrs. Sun patted Yingchun's hand, "I love you, but also because you are sensible." ”

Yingchun sent Mrs. Sun to the dormitory, settled down, and went to see Sun Huiyan and Yicai before returning to the room where she was resting.

Yingchun leaned on the small wooden bed and looked at Si Zhu and Huaijiao girls, "Don't hold on to these, just rest for a while." ”

Si Zhu took a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Madame doesn't have to worry about the slaves and maids, Madame should take a sip of tea first." But the lady bowed around, and she should rest well, and she will go to the dining hall for lunch in a while. ”

Yingchun smiled, "But you know me." How many people do the girls have? Don't let outsiders come close to us. ”

"Madame, don't worry, I have arranged some mothers-in-law to guard outside, that is, the eldest girl and the cousin, and the slave maid has called the three mothers-in-law in our yard to guard there."

Yingchun nodded and closed her eyes. Today is really tired, even after worshipping the Buddha in a circle, she is also a little tired as a modern person. Take advantage of this time to rest freely, and welcome spring is just the right time to recuperate.
