Chapter Forty-Nine: The White Horse Temple Signs a Fierce Fortune The Emperor and Empress are worried about the future of their daughters
The world is full of fragrant flowers in April, the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom, and now it is not yet April, but the peach blossoms elsewhere have some withering intentions, and the peach blossoms of the White Horse Temple bloom late, and now it is full of trees.
The eldest princess let the palace people shake the petals down, and took the hands of the father and the queen mother to step on it, Jing'er pity the red ground, unwilling to trample on the flower mud, so she only watched from the side, the golden boy looked at the happy and harmonious family of three in front of him, thought about it and also took Jing'er's hand, the two of them walked on the side of the stone road, unhurriedly followed behind them.
The eldest princess took the hand of her father and queen mother for a while, and when she turned around, she found her brother and sister holding hands and talking, so she immediately squeezed in and took the golden boy by the hand and pulled him away, which made Jing'er stunned and embarrassed.
The golden boy was pulled by the eldest princess and walked a few steps, and when he turned around, he saw Jing'er stop where she was, and called out to her, telling her to follow quickly.
Jing'er's eyes were a little sore, she looked at the peach blossoms on the tree and blinked a few times, and turned her head sideways with a soft smile.
The monks of the White Horse Temple took the emperor's family to the release pond, and let them release a few turtles and carps, and there were special sales of these small animals under the mountain, just to let these dignitaries and nobles bring them into the temple to release them, these things were actually too formalized, the emperor didn't like it, so he only came, and accompanied his family to have a scene.
The eldest princess took a fancy to a pair of little rabbits, shouting to take them home to raise, unwilling to release them, the monk said that it is better to release natural creatures, the emperor said in his heart that this rabbit is not an ordinary rabbit when he enters my house, isn't it better than them being slaughtered outside by others?
The rabbits were bought by them, and they couldn't do anything with the monks of the White Horse Temple, so they finally let the eldest princess get her wish and take the two rabbits away.
Naturally have to worship the Buddha when entering the temple, the queen worshiped all the gods and Buddhas, and she added a sum to each incense tank, and she asked for only one thing.
"Master, what's the explanation of this sign?"
The queen shook a bucket, dropped the branch and signed it, and said: "There is a plum branch on the ridge in winter, and the leaves and branches are withered, but when the news of Yangchun arrives, I still be the Oiran." ”
The monk who unsigned looked at the face of the emperor's family, and was shocked in his heart, this family is the supreme and noble face, the heirs are not prosperous, but there is no shortage of incense inheritance, this woman asks for a son, but they clearly have a son and two daughters, look at their dress, it is about the prince and the general, this boy is afraid that he is a concubine.
The monk who unsigned the sign looked at the signature carefully, and there was a plum on the mountain in winter, which meant that this woman had only one daughter, and one of the two girls was a concubine.
The White Horse Temple can gain a foothold in Beijing, and the monks in the temple naturally do not lack eyes, and they should not say anything hidden, but they only said: "Mrs. begging for a son is not anxious, according to the meaning of this signature, sometimes there must be in life, and there is no time in life to force it. "Some flowers just don't bear fruit, so if you wait, when the flowers finally wither, all that is left is the bare branches.
The queen is not a person who does not understand poetry and books, how can the master's words not be like good words, what is called a flower can be folded and straightened, this is a metaphor that she only has one daughter, so she will raise it well, don't be obsessed with asking for a child, ignoring the growth of her daughter, in the end, the son has no gain, and the daughter has grown up bad?
The queen's face was not good-looking, and the monk was not without eyesight, so she immediately changed the topic and said, "How many children in the lady's family can ask for a signature?" The poor monk looked at these little benefactors, all of whom were auspicious. ”
The Emperor grabbed the Empress's arm and signaled her to calm down with his eyes, and answered the Master's words, "Then ask for one." ”
The three golden boy brothers and sisters also knelt on the futon and shook the bucket, the golden boy Jing'er patiently shook for a while, and all dropped the sticks out, the eldest princess was just for fun, and shook the sign around, shaking the sign in all directions, the queen was afraid that she would blaspheme the gods, so she grabbed her hand and shook one with her, picked it up and looked, it was Zhongji again!
"The golden boy is Daji, Jing'er's is Shangji, these are two good signs, master, you can show them!"
The emperor handed the golden boy Jing'er's signature to the master, and his face was proud, the golden boy brothers and sisters were good characters approved by the abbot of Huiguo, how could they be unlucky.
The queen heard the emperor speak, looked at the Zhongji stick in her hand, and couldn't laugh, why could her biological daughter be inferior to the two adopted?
"What did the jade girl ask for?"
The emperor went to take the signature in the queen's hand, and when he saw the two words Zhongji, the smile was also fixed on his face, and the queen was the general idea in his heart, why did the two adopted children be rich and noble, but his own children had a bumpy fate?
The monk took the three signatures, and when he saw the couple's faces, he had a calculation in his heart, about the older pair of children were concubines, and the little girls were concubines, and the signatures that the concubines asked for were better than those of the concubines, and the housewife was unhappy.
Golden Boy's signature cloud: "The dragon flies to the auspicious clouds in the nine heavens, the tiger roars in the mountains and forests and the beasts avoid, the wind and frost swords are difficult to shake, and the golden lin is not a thing in the pool." ”
The monk who signed the sign did not know the identity of the golden boy, and only said: "This little benefactor is full of heavenly court and hangs his nose, which is the face of the rich and noble, and the meaning of this signature also shows that he will be a prince and general in the future, and his family has a noble son, congratulations to the donor." ”
The emperor smiled silently, the golden boy is his adopted son, so he can naturally be crowned the king and worship the marquis, but this signature is too arrogant.
The monk who unsigned looked at Jing'er's signature again, and the text said: "The golden branch contains dew to the rising sun, the empty branch of the sycamore waits for the lord to return, the dust can hardly hide the color of the pearl, and the flower blooms all over the world." ”
This signature does not need to be explained by the monks, those who have read some poetry and books understand its prosperity intentions, and it is a golden branch and a phoenix and a pearl, the emperor can accept it, Jing'er is their adopted daughter, if she grows up, she is really favored, and it is not impossible to be named a princess, this signature will naturally be fulfilled.
Next, the signature of the eldest princess is intriguing.
"The peony falls into the red mud every frost, the fire in Fusang is waiting for the spring to return, the nobles on the bank of the colorful clouds come, and the lady of the sky returns."
The queen's face was not good-looking when she saw this sign, the peony grows in the spring, how can it be frosty, Fusang is a sacred tree, how can it be on fire, the golden boy Jing'er and the two drew the dragon and phoenix lot, how did it get to the jade girl's hands, it is something like this? The sentence in the middle is a neutralization of one or two, but in the end, why is it still zero? Could it be that the jade girl will die alone in the future? How is this possible!
The monk will not tell the truth, only that this little girl is born rich and noble, and there will be some ups and downs on the way to grow up, compared to her brothers and sisters first bitter and then sweet, this little girl will be sweet first and then bitter, but there are nobles to help, what is the final fate, or it depends on how far the nobles have helped.
The emperor hurriedly asked, "Where is the nobleman?" ”
The monk said: "It's already here." ”
He said this, the emperor and queen understood, this noble person is the golden boy brother and sister, when they entered the palace as a recruiter spirit child, with them, the jade girl has always been smooth and safe, last year Jing'er went home a few days, the jade girl was sick, it can be seen that it is really inseparable from this nobleman.
It's just that it's not very comfortable for them to admit that their daughter has to rely on the well-being of others all her life, the golden boy brother and sister can't accompany her for a lifetime, is it possible that the jade girl will have a hard life without them? Their daughter is the real pride of the sky, how can she be so blessed!
