Seeing this scene, Huai Ying stepped forward with a smile, bowed his body and said: "Ancestor and rest assured to take medicine, I took advantage of the magnolia flowers in full bloom a few days ago to collect a lot of magnolia leaves, dried and put them away, the slave maid heard that the magnolia flowers can best absorb the smell of pickled in the house, if the ancestor does not like the smell of this medicine, I will take it, scattered in all corners of the house, and keep it will not be called the smell of medicine to smoke the flowers and plants." "

Xiaozhuang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Really? Go and get it quickly. "

Huai Sleeve ran out in response to the words, and after a while, he really held a big white cloth bag, which was full of dried magnolia petals. Xiaozhuang was very happy when he saw it, and immediately ordered other maids to help him scatter magnolia petals on his sleeves.

After scattering, Xiaozhuang sniffed and said with a gentle smile: "Sure enough, as soon as the magnolia petals are spread, the medicinal smell is diluted a lot, and it is better to conceive a girl!" "

Huai Sleeve was slightly embarrassed by Xiaozhuang's public praise, and stood on the ground with his head down, his eyes only falling on the cloth cloth he was holding in his hand.

A tea maid next to him served the tea bowl, Xiaozhuang took it up and drank tea for a while, but his eyes were still looking at his sleeves, with a different smile in his eyes, after drinking tea, put down the cup, Xiaozhuang said: "Let the girl accompany me to the Buddha Hall today, and also let Sister Man rest for half a day." "

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the maids next to them showed surprise and envy, and only Su Malagu, who was standing on the side, looked at her arms with a smile.

Huai sleeve heard this, but also very surprised, serving the Xiaozhuang Buddha Hall chanting Buddha, has always been only Su Malagu alone, even the personal maid Zhuqing is not allowed to step into the Buddha hall half a step.

Huai Sleeve looked at Aunt Su Mala helplessly, hesitating and not daring to step forward.

Su Malagu smiled and nodded, and handed her encouraging eyes to her arms.

Huai Sleeve comprehended his meaning, and then carefully bent his knees in response: "Yes!" He took two steps forward and grabbed Xiaozhuang's arm, and slowly accompanied him to the Buddhist hall, followed by more than a dozen little palace maids.

Arms sleeves to support the Queen Mother slowly into the Buddha Hall, look up, see the Buddha Hall enshrined in a statue of the Buddha with a golden body, the Buddha Hall hangs four fingers thick plate incense, under the full offering table is discharged with fresh fruits, the whole Buddha Hall is quiet and peaceful, auspicious clouds are swirling, a step into it makes people have a calm mind and stability.

Xiaozhuang first cleaned his hands in the clear water of the copper basin, and another little palace maid took a handkerchief and carefully waited for Xiaozhuang to wipe her hands, then asked Huai Sleeve to kneel in front of the Buddha, and faintly chanted a few words in his mouth, knocked three times, got up, and asked Huai Sleeve to take three incense sticks from the Buddha shrine and light them on the ever-bright lamp.

Xiaozhuang took the incense and bowed three more times, solemnly inserted the three pillars of incense into the incense burner in front of the Buddha, sat on the wooden chair on the side, picked up the "Ten Good Karma Sutras" on the table and handed it to Huai Sleeve.

Huai Sleeve took it and saw that it was the part he had just copied the day before yesterday, Xiaozhuang asked Huai Sleeve to turn to one of the pages, pointed and said, "Let's start reading from here." "

Huai Sleeve nodded, because it was a scripture that she copied by her own hand, she was familiar with the content, and she read it much more fluently, Xiaozhuang sat quietly and listened intently.

"Know that the Bodhisattva has a Dharma that can cut off all the evil paths and suffering. What is one? It is said that day and night, always thinking about and observing the good Dharma, so that the thoughts of the good Dharma increase, and do not allow the slightest ungood to be mixed, that is, to make all evil forever, the good Dharma to be perfect, and always close to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas and the remaining saints. Those who speak the good Dharma are called the Heavenly Body, the Sound Bodhi, the Dujue Bodhi, and the Supreme Bodhi, all of which are based on this Dharma, regarded as the foundation, and attained it, hence the name of the Good Dharma. This method is the Ten Good Karmic Paths. What is ten? It is said to be able to leave forever from killing, stealing, evil deeds, lies, double-tonguedness, evil mouths, gossip, greed, hatred, and evil opinions......"

Little by little, time made a crisp sound from the drip.

Holding the scriptures in his sleeve and reciting slowly, gradually, he felt that his mind was clear and quiet, and his voice seemed to come into his ears from outside, chanting Buddhist scriptures in his mouth, as if there was a fantasy power infinitely gentle to soothe the complicated mind, and gradually introduced the mind of Huai Sleeve into a quiet holy land that no one disturbed, so that she forgot the passage of time for a while, and forgot where she was.

I don't know how long it has passed, Huai Sleeve heard Xiaozhuang's soothing voice as if coming from a long distance: "Stop, I'll read here today." "

Huai Sleeve stopped, slowly closed the scriptures, the faint light smoke lingering in the Buddhist room made Huai Sleeve not recover immediately, and gradually gathered his mind back to the real world, but the light and graceful feeling of Fang Cai made her feel extremely peaceful and happy.

Carefully put the scriptures back on the table, and when she looked back, she found that Xiaozhuang was looking at her with a slightly puzzled gaze, and her sleeves were suddenly startled, and she quickly lowered her face and asked in a cautious low voice: "Old ancestor, is it that the slave and maid of Fang Cai did not read well and insulted the saint?" "

Xiaozhuang did not answer Huai Sleeve's question, but asked, "Have you ever chanted the scriptures before?" "

Huai Sleeve replied truthfully: "Back to the Empress Dowager, when the slave maid was in the General's Mansion in northern Xinjiang, she once read and recited scriptures for her grandmother. "

Xiaozhuang nodded and stretched out one arm in front of Huai Sleeve, who hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

Xiaozhuang stood up with his sleeve, patted the back of his sleeve and said kindly: "Child, I'm afraid, you just read it very well, and even surprised me a little." "

Huai Sleeve was puzzled, raised his face to look at Xiaozhuang, but saw Xiaozhuang's eyes with kindness like a wind.

"You are the daughter of a nobleman of the Eight Banners, and it is not easy to practice Chinese so leanly." Xiaozhuang said with a relieved smile on his face.

He put his hand on the scroll he had just read with his sleeve and continued: "This Sutra of the Ten Good Karma was originally translated by the Tang Dynasty's Shicha Nanda, but it has not yet been fully translated. This in my hand is from the Western Jin Dynasty Yue's country Sanzang Zhu Fa Protector translation "Buddha Says Sea Dragon King Sutra", is the most detailed scripture, but unfortunately only the Chinese print but not the full Mongolian text print, you copied the other day or the former Man Sister translated and compiled, but she is also a little older now, the energy is not as good as before, in recent years suffering from eye disease, I will not ask her to do these. Xiaozhuang said, his face showing regret.

Huai Sleeve thought for a moment when he heard this, and said slowly: "The slave maid has followed her grandmother's side since she was a child, and often teaches her to study literature and history. "

Huai Sleeve raised his face as he spoke, and said with a look of humility and sincerity: "If the Empress Dowager does not dislike it, the slave is willing to try to write and translate scriptures." "

Xiaozhuang looked at the sincere eyes of the sleeve, the pupils flashed with the look of the wings, slowly lifted the sleeve, held her hand and asked again: "Girl, do you know the three languages of Manchu, Han and Mongolian?" "
