Sheng Rujin and his entourage went up to Qingshui Nunnery, and the thousand steps were indeed a little breathless. If Sheng Rujin hadn't practiced sword dance diligently these days, he would probably be out of breath like a few little maids.

When they arrived at the gate of the hermitage, the long-awaited bhikshuni came forward with a smile.

The fifth aunt Wang got down from the sedan chair, rubbed her waist, and muttered dissatisfied: "What a broken ground, it can exhaust me to death." ”

Sheng Rujin glanced at her and said lightly: "If the fifth aunt does not respect the ghosts and gods, you can go back to the house, and you don't have to enter the house to worship the Buddha, otherwise the fifth aunt will talk nonsense like this, be careful of the Buddha's blame." When the time comes, it will not be good for the child in your womb. ”

The fifth aunt, Wang, wanted to have a seizure when she heard this. Mama Chen next to her hurriedly pulled her.

Fifth Aunt Wang didn't know what she remembered, so she didn't speak.

Because of the Dharma meeting the day after tomorrow, Sheng Rujin and his party will stay in the nunnery for two days. As soon as he arrived, he was welcomed by a bhikshuni into the meditation room where the pilgrims were entertained.

The meditation room is clean and tidy, the furnishings are very simple, but very Zen.

After Sheng Rujin rested, he asked the nurse Zhang: "Why do I think the fifth aunt doesn't respect Buddha very much?" If you are disrespectful, why do you come?"

The nurse Zhang pouted when she heard this: "I'm afraid the eldest lady doesn't know, when the fifth aunt entered the house, some people said that she was not a Han person, but respected other Buddhas." What is it called...... Fire Cult?"

Fire Cult?

Isn't it a sect from the West? I heard that believers believe in it very much, and once they join the Church, they will not rebel for life.

Sheng Rujin was surprised: "There is such a thing?" I can't see it. ”

The nurse Zhang said: "Of course I can't see it, but those barbarian foreigners sometimes live with the Han people for a long time and are no different from the Han people." What is eaten, what is used, and the person who marries is almost the same after a few generations. ”

She pouted: "I heard that the fifth aunt changed her belief in order to enter the mansion, and she was enshrined as a bodhisattva, so she entered the mansion." ”

"But looking at this way, her mouth has changed, and she is still the barbarian in her heart."

The nurse Zhang's tone was very disdainful. It seems that today's fifth aunt's style has aroused her very dissatisfaction.

Sheng Rujin's eyes flashed, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong in his heart.

She is young, and she doesn't know what the identity of the fifth aunt Wang is when she enters the house, what kind of person she is, and what the details are. But there is one person who knows her well, and it is impossible not to know.

That person is the eldest lady Zhou.

Now the question is, since the eldest lady Zhou knows that the fifth aunt Wang does not believe in Buddhism in her heart, why did she let her come with her?

Does she really have such a good heart for her to pray for her pregnancy?

Or is it to make a superficial statement, showing the care and generosity of the eldest lady of the official family to the concubine?

Sheng Rujin thought about it, and suddenly said a few words to the nurse Zhang.

The nurse Zhang Shi was surprised when she heard this: "Miss......... This...... Is this really going to be done?"

Sheng Rujin's expression was complicated: "Whether it's me or not, the nurse will do it." ”

The nurse Zhang recited a sentence of Buddha in her mouth, and clasped her hands together: "In the holy land of Buddhism, don't do anything evil." ”

Sheng Rujin watched the nurse Zhang go in a hurry.

……

The fifth aunt, Wang, walked around the meditation room, her face dissatisfied.

Mama Chen persuaded: "Isn't the fifth aunt tired? Let's take a break. ”

Fifth Aunt Wang had an angry face: "Haven't you seen it yet?" This witch is deliberately torturing me. I know I don't believe this, I have to come!"

"Let's not talk about the bumps along the way, I think she wants me to turn the child in my belly upside down."

Mama Chen's face turned pale with fright, and she quickly covered her mouth: "My aunt, just stop." How many taboo things have you said along the way?"

"Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the child in your belly. That's the kind of Zuo Xiang-sama. That's not the same god or Buddha you believe. ”

The fifth aunt Wang came to her senses and finally stopped.

She said to Mama Chen, "What now? I've had a hard time dying for the past two days. I can't eat meat, I have to accompany those nuns to recite scriptures and do homework, I can't stand it. ……”

Mama Chen comforted: "Fifth aunt, don't worry, aren't you illiterate?" He said that he couldn't read the Buddhist scriptures, and he couldn't recite them, and after kneeling for a while, he said that his body was heavy and he wanted to go back to rest. ”

The fifth aunt, Wang, reluctantly agreed.

After a while, a nun in the nunnery brought food and refreshments. The fifth aunt, Wang, used some and went to rest without mentioning it.

……

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day sure enough, the pilgrims began to burn incense and worship the Buddha before dawn. The nuns began to chant sutras, baptize the Buddha's body, and begin the annual Buddhist puja.

This time it will be seven days and seven nights, and the more the days ahead, the more lively it will be. Sheng Rujin and others are family members of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, and they donate a lot of sesame oil money every year, so that they can be in the front rows to listen to the teachers chanting and chanting.

Sheng Rulan has been following Sheng Rujin. Sheng Rujin saw that she was young, although she didn't like Sheng Rulan very much in her heart, but after all, she was nominally a younger sister, so she naturally had to take care of her outside.

Since Sheng Rulan suddenly came to Toucheng that night, she has been very obediently attached to Sheng Rujin, calling her big sister very sweet, and acting more measured than before.

Sheng Rujin asked her to do whatever she wanted, and she was very well-behaved.

Even Sheng Rujin felt that this girl like a poisonous little flower had also changed her soul?

However, the fifth aunt Wang didn't say anything late, and after kneeling for a while, she said that she had a headache and wanted to go back to rest.

Sheng Rujin naturally couldn't control her, so she just let her go. Only instruct the subordinates to follow, there are many pilgrims in the nunnery, do not go to the front of the Buddhist hall to join in the fun, only in the back of the meditation room to rest well.

The service lasted until noon. Sheng Rujin took Sheng Rulan back to the meditation room to rest.

In the afternoon, there were more pilgrims, and it was inconvenient for their ladies to come out again, so they planned to rest in the meditation room.

Sheng Rujin woke up early in the morning, she was young, and when she was sleeping and growing her body, Sheng Rulan was too.

The two took a nap in the meditation room.

When she woke up, Sheng Rujin only felt that her mouth was dry and her throat was sore. She told the nurse Zhang.

The nurse Zhang smiled: "It's not in the way, it's that the incense ashes in the temple are too strong, and the eldest lady has been in the Buddha hall all morning, so it's strange if it doesn't hurt." Just drink some loquat pear white fungus sweet soup. ”

She said to let people prepare.

After a while, the servant brought two bowls of sweet soup. Sheng Rujin suddenly thought of something, and said to the nurse Zhang: "The fifth aunt is ...... over there."

The nurse Zhang understands it. After a while, someone brought another bowl of sweet soup.

Sheng Rujin opened it and looked at it, stirred it with a silver spoon, tasted it and smiled suddenly.

"Nurse, it seems that the sweet soup of the fifth aunt is delicious. I'll give her this one. ”
