Chapter 169: Blessing (2)

In the evening, Shen Wan knelt upright in the "Qingxin Hall" to chant and pray for blessings, and Yao Ronghua knelt behind her, but she seemed a little absent-minded.

After reciting a volume of scriptures, it was already twilight.

Cui Shanggong came over to invite dinner, Shen Wan heard that she got up, but she was a little unsteady because she had been kneeling for too long, Yao Ronghua hurriedly stepped forward to support her. Shen Wan smiled at her and said, "I'm really useless, I can't bear it after kneeling for so long." ”

Yao Ronghua said with a smile: "Where did Niangniang say, Niangniang is a noble of the heavenly family, and she usually doesn't have to kneel and worship, probably because of this, she can't stand it, right?" ”

Shen Wan smiled: "You are still so good at talking." Let's go, let's have dinner together, it's not as good as the palace, I'm afraid there aren't so many delicacies, so I can only eat some vegetarian food. You insisted on coming out with me, and you were wronged. ”

Yao Ronghua hurriedly said ashamedly: "The concubine follows the mother, how the mother is, the concubine is the same." ”

Shen Wan patted her hand, and the two walked out together.

When Shen Wan walked outside, she was taken aback, the gray-robed monk was so familiar! The delicate sword eyebrows, the slightly lowered eyes, the thin lips, and the gentle and white hands are folded...... Shen Wan felt sad in her heart, and couldn't help but call out with tears in her eyes: "Cousin." ”

"Amitabha." The familiar Buddha name seems to have a slight trill.

Shen Wan felt even more sad in her heart, looking at the fact that the young man in front of her was no longer dressed in brocade clothes and no longer wearing a jade crown, but now he had become a monk in a gray robe and a bald head!

Zhishan lowered his eyes and said to Shen Wan: "Queen Mother, dinner has been prepared, and the porridge and side dishes are not respectful." ”

Shen Wan didn't care about her demeanor, walked up to him and held his hand, and asked, "Cousin, how are you doing?" Ah Wan was very worried in her heart. ”

Zhishan trembled, and finally raised his clear eyes to meet Shen Wan's eyes, those eyes were still as bright as stars, but there was an extra layer of sadness...... "Queen Mother, everything is fine with the monks, if you want to catch up with the old days, you might as well study Buddhism together after dinner?" ”

Shen Wan nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, then ...... after dinner" Reluctantly let go of him, and was just about to call Yao Ronghua away, but saw that Yao Ronghua seemed to be even more reluctant than her, and her heart was even more strange at the moment. glanced at Yao Ronghua, and then looked at Zhishan, before straightening Yao Ronghua and saying to Zhishan: "This is Yao Ronghua in the palace." ”

Zhishan just gave a bow according to the rules of Buddhism, and his expression was calm.

Shen Wan saw that Zhishan didn't seem to know Yao Ronghua, but why did Yao Ronghua do this? Yao Ronghua saw that he was kind and polite, and hurriedly returned the salute: "The queen mother calls this master 'cousin', it must be the eighth prince, right?" ”

Zhishan said lightly: "The law of the monk is the best, the eighth prince, it's just a passing cloud, red dust and old things." ”

Shen Wan was sad when she heard this, and Yao Ronghua was also stunned. Shen Wan reluctantly smiled: "I'll go and have dinner first, and I'll talk about these Buddhist principles later!" ”

After a dinner, Shen Wan asked Yao Ronghua: "This palace is catching up with the master of the best, is Sister Ronghua interested?" ”

Yao Ronghua heard that this was not a sincere invitation, and said with a sneer: "The concubine and the supreme master are not old friends, so I won't bother the mother." With that, she respectfully retreated.

Shen Wan frowned and watched her back disappear, and then came to the place agreed with Zhishan - Qingxin Hall.

As soon as she walked in, she saw Zhishan's thin back, Shen Wan's heart was sour, but she walked over with a smile on her face and said, "Why did my cousin choose to be here, do you want me to be pure and have few desires with you?" ”

Zhishan turned his head, smiled gently at her, and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, Ah Wan, you are still so playful." ”

That smile is still the same as before, making people feel like a spring breeze. Shen Wan was sad but wanted to cry, and said with a wry smile: "This day is already bitter, if you don't have fun in suffering, how can you live?" ”

Zhishan's expression changed, and he asked, "Does he treat you well?" ”

Shen Wan knew that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly smiled: "I mean cousin, you!" From the former prince to the current practitioner who only faces the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha, don't you feel hard cousin? ”

Zhishan regained his calm face, folded his hands and said, "Amitabha, it's just to ask for peace of mind." ”

Shen Wan asked rhetorically: "Could it be that if you let you be the prince, you won't be at ease?" ”

Zhishan was silent, Shen Wan sighed, and had no choice but to say: "Don't talk about this, cousin should tell me quickly, how are you doing these days?" What do you do in a day-to-day life? ”

Zhishan smiled at her and said: "What else can you do, naturally it is the same as an ordinary monk, just reciting a few scriptures to pass the time." ”

Shen Wan said deliberately: "It turns out that cousin, you are also unintentional!" ”

Zhishan smiled helplessly: "I always can't talk about you." ”

Indeed, no matter what he did when he was a child, he always said that he couldn't say anything about Shen Wan, but he was still willing to help Shen Wan do anything, as long as Shen Wan was willing, his cousin would always be the one who stood in front of her and took her, or waited behind her to protect her. But now...... Things are people, and there is no going back to the past.

In a few days, Shen Wandao recited a volume of scriptures in the Qingxin Hall, and then spoke with Zhishan.

On this day, there were a few drops of light rain, and the two of them walked casually under the cloister by the lake, and the autumn breeze was cool, and a few fine pieces of golden osmanthus fell.

Shen Wan stretched out her hand to catch those rice-like petals, and sighed: "The osmanthus in the palace has fallen, but the osmanthus here is still blooming, but unfortunately the wind and rain are blowing, and there is not much left." ”

Zhishan said lightly: "Flowers bloom and fall, it is a natural law, this year falls, and next year it will bloom again." ”

Shen Wan grinned and said, "Who told you about the Dharma here!" ”

Zhishan was stunned for a moment, bowed his head and smiled silently.

Shen Wan turned around in front of him, and suddenly found that it was Yao Ronghua standing on the white jade bridge on the other side of the pond, and he didn't know how long he had been standing, and there seemed to be falling osmanthus flowers on his body, and there was a faint sadness on his face.

Shen Wan asked Zhishan: "Does my cousin know that Yao Ronghua?" ”

Zhishan Zhengse said: "I am a person in the Buddhist gate, she is a person in the palace gate, how can I know her?" ”

Shen Wan saw that he didn't look like a lie, and besides, this cousin would never lie since he was a child, so she immediately said, "This is strange...... Cousin didn't think she was familiar? Perhaps, it's been seen before? ”

Zhishan still shook his head, Shen Wan also felt impossible, they had been messing around together a lot in the past, if they had seen it, they might not know it at all!

Shen Wan thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's really strange, she has tears on her face, I've been looking at it coldly these days, she is unusual to you!" ”

Zhishan looked flustered, looked at Shen Wan and said, "Ah Wan, why are you still like this...... How is this possible......

Shen Wan saw that he was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "I'm talking about playing, cousin, don't take it seriously." ”

Although he said this, he had a deeper question in his heart, why is this Yao Ronghua so strange to his cousin?
