Chapter 369, Clever Xiao Chu
This is the study of my father-in-law as soon as I come back. Came in and glanced at it quickly with curiosity. The room is not the same as Chu Huaixian's study. Chu Huaixian's study did not have so many books, nor did there be a mountain of official documents on the table. There are three or four large and small inkstones opened, and there are several brushes on the shelves of the pen mountain. They also vary in size, with black ink and red ink on them.
Some of them are used to hook official documents.
With just such a glance, Xiao Chu immediately lowered his head and saluted with Chu Huaixian. She only dared to look at the room, not at Mrs. Chu's expression. Coming to see him late at night, I don't know if the guild will bother him.
"The father's worries, the daughter-in-law came up with a good idea." Chu Huaixian was smiling at his father, with a confident look.
Mrs. Chu didn't have a strange expression, he was just strange, and he wouldn't be easy for people to see. He said to Xiao Chu kindly: "I've heard that you are a little smart, you say." ”
Before Xiao Chu could speak, Chu Huaixian first said in a comforting tone: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, even if I say something wrong, my father won't blame you." ”
This one came up again, and Mrs. Chu frowned and reprimanded, "You stand down and go aside." Chu Huaixian smiled and stood two steps away, Xiao Chu felt that he was alone, facing his father-in-law Mrs. Chu.
"Brother Yu, let's talk about it." Mrs. Chu's mood suddenly improved for a while. He didn't expect Xiao Chu to really give him ideas, he was in a good mood because he was depressed for several days, and he couldn't always be bored.
I saw my son's smiling face again, and said that this smart daughter-in-law had an idea. No matter what the idea is, Mrs. Chu is in a better mood, and this daughter-in-law can be regarded as caring about herself.
He should be in a good mood.
Xiao Chu still felt a little scared, so he raised his head boldly and quickly looked for Chu Huaixian who was standing next to him. Seeing that Chu Huaixian was beside him, Xiao Chu smiled at him and came to see his father-in-law again.
Seeing it this way, his father-in-law was kind on his face, Xiao Chu was a little relieved, and replied in a low voice: "Father doesn't like it for a few days, and the family is worried about you." The daughter-in-law boldly had an idea, I don't know if this is right, but the son said that he could go back, so I came. ”
"Just say it." Mrs. Chu said, Xiao Chu was bolder, so he opened his mouth: "The Queen Mother misses the first emperor, so she puts her mind on believing in Buddhism." From the perspective of a daughter-in-law, this is not a bad thing,"
Speaking of which, I looked at Mrs. Chu carefully, and seeing that he was frowning, Xiao Chu looked at Chu Huaixian timidly as if asking for help, and stopped the following words.
Chu Huaixian walked up with a smile, took one of Xiao Chu's hands, and stroked Xiao Chu's fragrant shoulder with the other hand and said softly, "You finish slowly." Mrs. Chu frowned and waited.
"Water can capsize a boat, or it can carry a boat. The Queen Mother believes in Buddhism, and her father can also make some suggestions. Xiao Chu used an idiom to finish saying this, and Mrs. Chu was surprised. He involuntarily let out an "oh", his frowning brows relaxed, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Tell me how to carry the boat." ”
Xiao Chu owed a debt and said: "Originally, the daughter-in-law only thought about why her father rebelled against the queen mother, so it was not good for the officials to look at it." Later, the son said that his father believed in Buddhism now, and the queen mother may not believe it. From the daughter-in-law's point of view, it is two propositions. The first, when the father enters the palace again, can also accommodate Buddhism. In this way, the relationship with the Queen Mother can be eased a little. After the relaxation, it is not too late to try to make progress. I remember that Childe used to say that if there is a treasure of Buddhist scriptures at home, my father can take them out and invite my grandmother or mother into the palace to present them to the Queen Mother, which is also a way. ”
Mrs. Chu frowned: "What about this second one." Xiao Chu saw that he listened carefully, and said a lot bolder: "This second one is a method of fighting poison with poison." ”
"Oh, fighting poison with poison?" Mrs. Chu smiled and answered. Xiao Chu smiled: "Since the Queen Mother believes in Buddhism, why don't my father find a high monk and ask him to be recommended by others to enter the palace to preach Buddhism to the Queen Mother." The father pretended not to know how to enter the palace, and the monk had a tongue to speak, and was somewhat influenced by the monk's Dharma, and then asked the monk to tell the Queen Mother to use the Dharma to benefit all sentient beings.
I want to think about how many emperors in the past dynasties, and I don't say anything about summoning spirits. It's just that no one tells the Queen Mother now, and the Queen Mother doesn't listen to the words of non-monks. As long as there can be such a monk in the palace who knows justice by the side of the Queen Mother, the clear person will naturally be clear. ”
Mrs. Chu laughed twice, and Chu Huaixian bowed to his father with a spring breeze on his face: "What does your father think of your daughter-in-law's words?" Mrs. Chu was full of smiles, this should be his rare expression towards Xiao Chu: "Daughter-in-law, I don't want other people's words to be true, you are really a smart person." ”
First do what they like, and then know the reason. If Lord Chu Taifu had met someone else, he would have understood it a long time ago. It's just that I met the queen mother, and after the first emperor went west, there were a lot of things that didn't go well. Master Taifu was bored at home, and he was also a little bit. The countermeasures that should be thought of are now reminded by Brother Yu's mother, and they all think of it.
Mrs. Chu's heart was relieved, and his mood was particularly comfortable. He stroked his beard and looked at Brother Yu standing in front of him with a smile, and saw Chu Huaixian standing next to Brother Yu's mother, with an extraordinarily proud face and a spring breeze.
The idea had nothing to do with him, and he was getting complacent. Mrs. Chu looked at her son's smile again, this daughter-in-law is also her own daughter-in-law.
When they were kissing, Mrs. Chu and Mrs. Chu treated Xiao Chu coldly, and Mrs. Taifu would not feel guilty even if he thought about it. Master Chu Taifu felt that he was just cold to Xiao Chu. As for Xiao Chu, if he didn't have Chu Huaixian's care, he would have been sick all the time. At that time, Master Taifu did not force people to come to this point verbally or clearly.
If you really want to force people to die, a rope will be over. In the few days when Chu Huaixian went to the field, it was these elders of the Chu family who took care of Xiao Chu.
Therefore, Master Taifu was also proud of Xiao Chu's smart daughter-in-law in his heart at this time. But seeing his son smiling like that, Mrs. Chu made a straight face to Chu Huaixian: "What are you laughing at!" That's a great idea, you don't have it! ”
Chu Huaixian is concerned about chaos, and he also followed his father into a dead end. Seeing that his father said that he couldn't do it, he quickly bowed and said with a smile: "The daughter-in-law cares about her father, and she also has the credit of her son." ”
If you don't have a son, where is your daughter-in-law?
Mrs. Chu heard a scolding: "Poor mouth." When he looked at Xiao Chu again, he was smiling: "Daughter-in-law, it's getting late, go back." Pointing to a four-season flower mutton fat jade bottle on the table, he said, "This reward you." If you have something to say in the future, feel free to go back and forth. ”
"Yes," Xiao Chu still bowed very carefully and thanked him, Chu Huaixian took the jade bottle, and the husband and wife went back to the room hand in hand.
When he got outside, Xiao Chuhuan jumped up. For a while, he looked at the jade bottle by the moonlight, and for a while he smiled in front of Chu Huaixian: "This bottle is only for me, right?" ”
Chu Huaixian nodded and smiled: "Yes, yes," and then put a very threatening hand on the back of Xiao Chu's neck: "Are you going to split up?" Xiao Chu felt the pressure on the back of his neck, and quickly flattered Chu Huaixian: "There are yours too," the person slipped away before smiling like a flower and grimacing: "I'll just show you." ”
The eldest prince of Chu held the jade bottle that he only showed himself, and sent the jade bottle back to the room with Xiao Chu without complaining.
The palace didn't invite the soul, and the Empress Dowager Zhang blamed Mrs. Chu again, and in the heart of the young Empress Dowager, she was also depressed. On this day, I was discussing with Huiyuan and Zhizhi to invite again, and the palace maids came in: "His Royal Highness King Liang asked to see him, and he sent the Shenji monk of Lianhua Temple to meet the Queen Mother." ”
"Who?" Empress Dowager Zhang was ecstatic: "Is it a divine machine? "The god of the Nianhua Temple is a famous generation of monks. Compared with him, Huiyuan and others are known to everyone to be famous, and the other is only sent to the Queen Mother to report where he is.
Empress Dowager Zhang was very happy, and said repeatedly: "Please, please, please, in the end, it is the emperor's uncle, and he also misses the first emperor." He said that he ordered people to prepare to change clothes, and before changing clothes, he said happily to Huiyuan and Zhizhi: "He is here, this soul-inviting thing can be done." "I said, let's go and change my clothes.
The divine machine came in, and King Liang followed him. Empress Dowager Zhang looked at this well-known monk in the world, and his appearance was really extraordinary. It is full of red light, and at first glance it looks like he is virtuous.
After seeing the courtesy and sitting down, Empress Dowager Zhang first praised King Liang: "It's still the emperor's uncle's heart, unlike the Chu Taifu, who almost made me angry to death." I've listened to it for the past two days, and he is still not bad at all for the emperor, and if he is a little worse, I won't spare him. ”
King Liang said with a smile: "Lord Taifu has always been square, and when the first emperor was there, he praised him for being square. When he saw the blame for the Queen Mother, he also regretted it in his heart. ”
"Hmph, let him regret it and I'll ignore him for two days." Empress Dowager Zhang was still angry: "This time you invite the soul again, you have to explain to him, and he is not allowed to collide again." If I collide again, I'm welcome. ”
King Liang smiled and agreed, thinking in his heart that this woman's knowledge was really short. There is a divine machine, King Liang no longer says that Chu Taifu, and everything is left to the divine machine to explain.
Shenji first said a piece of Buddhism, and even Huiyuan and Zhizhi also listened to it. The two of them are also people who study Buddhism intensively, otherwise, Prime Minister Zhang Cheng would not have sent them to see the Queen Mother.
It's just a matter of inviting souls, it's all nonsense. People have souls, and they are not easy to invite.
Empress Dowager Zhang had heard Shenji talk about Buddhism, and she felt that her heart was even more thorough. At the moment, he told Shenji the words of inviting the soul: "I was bumped by resentment last time, and this time there is a high monk, and I will definitely be able to invite the soul of the first emperor." ”
"Amitabha, the old monk has the power of the queen mother, and he can also see the soul of the first emperor in the world, which is the blessing of the old monk." Shenji is a man in his fifties, and he still looks energetic.
Empress Dowager Zhang was stunned when she heard him, and said eagerly: "You haven't seen it either?" Shenji reverently recited the Buddha, and then returned to the Queen Mother: "The soul has entered reincarnation, how can you invite it again?" Besides, the soul of the first emperor, how can he be easily overwhelmed by the resentment of mortals. The first emperor was the Son of Heaven during his lifetime, and what is the resentment of the courtiers? The Queen Mother's knowledge is vast in the old monk, since there is this please soul to say, the old monk entrusted the Queen Mother's blessing, also see it. ”
"The soul has entered reincarnation, how can I invite it again?" Empress Dowager Zhang was stunned at the time, muttering in her mouth. King Liang couldn't help but laugh on the side, Lord Taifu's move was really high. With just this sentence, the Queen Mother understood.
The Queen Mother is uninformed, not a fool. If you are stupid, no matter how much Prime Minister Zhang is planning behind her back, Empress Dowager Zhang will not be able to stay.
Hui Yuan and Zhizhi were anxious, they had just heard Shenji talk about Buddhism, and they knew that the tongue was not an opponent. The two of them could only find words and say: "The first emperor is a great merit, and this soul has not yet been reincarnated." ”
Empress Dowager Zhang turned her face, her eyes were already distrustful: "You just told me a while ago that the case in Yin Sili is extremely fast, and countless cases can be broken in one night. The first emperor was a benevolent monarch with merit and the people, why didn't he reincarnate early and stay until now? ”
"The Empress Dowager Rongyu," the wisdom was invited with a lot of money, and there was a reply in the blink of an eye: "The first emperor is a benevolent monarch, and he wants to go to heaven to be a god, this soul, so it will not be reincarnated." ”
Shenji laughed on the side, he didn't say a word, and Empress Dowager Zhang was anxious again: "Since it is a god, how can mortal grievances stop the first emperor from coming." Since he is a god, mortals are so disrespectful, why didn't the first emperor punish him? Empress Dowager Zhang flicked her sleeves: "It's nonsense!" Please come back again in three days, and if you don't come, you will be sent to ask for guilt. ”
King Liang smiled secretly in his heart, and saw that Huiyuan and Zhizhi were still looking for words: "It's a resentful collision, it's a real resentful collision." King Liang also opened his mouth: "Master Taifu has said since the Queen Mother that he was angry, and he has been sad in the past few days. He told me privately that if the Queen Mother still blamed him, on the day of the soul, he was willing to leave Beijing far away, so as not to collide with the first emperor. I think that's fine, but there's only one bad thing. Taifu is the minister of the first emperor's deathbed orders, the first emperor arrived, if he asked the Taifu and then called him back, it was too late. ”
The more Empress Dowager Zhang thought about it, the more angry she became at Huiyuan and Zhizhi: "Lord Taifu is a person who is extremely trusted by the first emperor, why should he be resentful." He has advice for the palace, and it should be reasonable to be willing to see the first emperor and explain it. You don't want to come because you want to find a reason! Hmph, go down and prepare, and ask for it again in three days, and if you don't invite it again, you will never be spared! ”
Shenji smiled beside him, that smile was like a Buddha god holding a flower, and he proclaimed the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, the old monk is destined to have a look." I wonder if the day of the Jizo King Bodhisattva will come in a real body? ”
Hui Yuan and Zhizhi were so anxious that their heads were sweating, and there was nothing they could do in front of them. Jizo King Bodhisattva? Where can he be invited?
