Chapter 34: The "Cheap" Little Jade Bottle
Hokke-ji Temple? Is it the mountain next door to Hutai Mountain?
The Xu family is in the next mountain, and when the Xu family had an accident, Grandma Xu ran to Fahua Temple.
Grandma Xu's sincerity eventually moved the presiding officer of the monastery, who told Grandma Xu, "Your granddaughter's turning point is in the Tao family." It was and will be. The donor just goes with his heart. β
After the host finished speaking, he left. Grandma Xu was left alone thinking about the master's words.
When the butler, who was waiting outside, saw that the host had come out, he went in to help the old woman out.
The butler went in and called "Madame" from the back
However, Mrs. Xu was still thinking about what she had just said.
The housekeeper saw that Mrs. Xu ignored her, and this was just a stick of incense.
Later, Mrs. Xu died not long after returning home. The housekeeper was arranged to take care of the empty shell Xu family and asked Xu Mengqi to follow the Tao family.
β¦β¦
Mrs. Tao also liked to go to Fahua Temple when she was alive, one was to pray for peace for her family, and the other was to pray for God to let Xu Mengqi recover as soon as possible.
Now that Mrs. Tao is gone, but Xu Mengqi's illness has also improved, Mr. Tao decided to help his wife repay her vow.
Here Tao Manman heard the servant A say that his grandfather was going to make a vow today, so he hurriedly lifted the quilt and ran downstairs. I can't even take care of washing.
"Grandpa, grandpa, grandpa, you can't go to Fahua Temple today to make a vow." Before the Taugmans could reach the downstairs, the voice had already reached a restaurant.
When Old Man Tao heard the voice, he wondered, "Manman, why can't you go to Fahua Temple today to make a vow?" Isn't your aunt's illness improving? β
"Grandpa, it's not the same as improving. You can go the day after tomorrow. After the treatment today and tomorrow, you can take your aunt with you to repay your vows. β
"That's right. Then the grandfather will wait two more days and then go to Hokkeji Temple to make a vow. β
"If you're bored at home, it's not that you can't go to Fahua Temple, you should exercise when you go."
"Yes, it's not time to repay your vows yet, I can go and thank the Buddha for making your aunt's illness finally improve. You can also exercise by the way. β
Tao Manman's face was full of black lines when he heard this, obviously he helped to heal the disease, and he had a half-dime relationship with that Buddha?
But Tao Manman didn't really care, this is his grandfather's spiritual belief.
When people have faith, they often live more positively and more excitingly than others.
"Sit down and eat!" Old Man Tao figured it out, so he beckoned Tao Manman to dine together.
"No, grandpa, I'll go wash up first and eat later. By the way, grandpa, you ask my aunt to come to my room, and I'll get her some medicine. After saying that, Tao Manman went upstairs to wash.
"Okay, you go first, I'll help you relay it." After Mr. Tao finished speaking, he started to eat alone.
"Alasβwhen the children grow up, they don't want to eat with me, an old man, and they all have their own things to do." Old Man Tao thought that when Tao Zi'an was three years old before, he still stuck to himself all day long.
And her granddaughter, who was three years old, was able to save people with needles. Now that Tao Zi'an is participating in the summer camp, he has not come back yet, and he is the only one on the table at home, thinking about it like this, the porridge in the bowl seems to be tasteless.
Old Man Tao, who had no appetite, simply stopped eating, got up to find Xu Mengqi, and told Tao Manman to wait for her in the room.
Then Old Man Tao returned to the dining table, and sat like this without moving, waiting for Tao Manman to come, and ate together.
Upstairs.
"Knock Knock ......"
"Come in!" Tao Manman, who had been washed, changed his clothes and was buttoning the last button on his little shirt.
At the door, Xu Mengqi pushed the door and came in. "Manman, Uncle Tao said you were looking for me."
"Well, how did you sleep last night?"
"It's very good, it's the most restful sleep I've had since I lost my biological parents."
"It's good to get a good rest. This is a medicine, you take it, at nine o'clock in the evening, go to the study to find me. I'll be waiting for you over there. Tao Manman walked over to the dresser customized for her height, picked up a jade bottle, and handed it to Xu Mengqi.
"Okay, how do you take this?" Xu Mengqi cautiously reached out and took the familiar jade bottle, which was exactly the same as the jade bottle that Old Man Tao gave him last time.
"This vial, one at a time. It's good to take it today and tomorrow to warm the uterus. β
"Okay, I see, is there anything else?" Xu Mengqi just knew that Old Man Tao was going to Fahua Temple today, so he had to prepare some things for the road.
"It's okay, relax your mood, don't worry so much, grandpa will trouble you to take care of it today, I won't go today."
"I can't take care of it, it's what I should do to accompany Uncle Tao." Xu Mengqi became an orphan at the age of 11, and it was the Tao family who gave her a second home, gave her warmth, and allowed her to find support on the disorienting sea. Now she is very happy to accompany Uncle Tao, she knows what it means to be grateful.
Tao Manman and Xu Mengqi went downstairs to the restaurant together, and saw the porridge in Old Man Tao's bowl, almost not moving.
"Xiaohan, help Uncle Tao change a bowl of porridge, this should be cold." Xu Mengqi saw the porridge that had begun to solidify, and couldn't help but ask people to change the bowl again.
"Grandpa, you can't eat cold in the morning, we have to eat freshly when we eat in the future." Tao Manman could see that Old Man Tao didn't want to eat alone, but he didn't take care of his face, so he didn't break it.
"Sit down! I've been waiting for you for a long time. Old Man Tao also felt that he was a little willful just now. I actually lost my temper and didn't eat. After so many years, it's not the first time I've eaten alone. Sure enough, the older you get, the more arrogant you become.
"Grandpa, these medicines, take them with you when you go out, you should be able to use them." Tao Manman, who was about to eat, actually saw that Old Man Tao's face was a little wrong, and he should have met with something when he went to Fahua Temple today. So Tao Manman made several small jade bottles, with more than a dozen pieces, for Old Man Tao.
Xu Mengqi saw Tao Manman's trick, and took out so many small jade bottles from her pocket, which was not bulging in the first place, is Manman's pocket Doraemon's pocket? How can you hold so many small bottles.
Also, she is so precious, the little jade bottle that she carefully puts in her pocket, she actually pulls out so much casually. What about the cherished medicine that is good?
Why is Tao Manman's posture as casual as taking out a coin?
The meal was finished in Xu Mengqi's absent-mindedness.
Old man Tao, accompanied by Xu Mengqi and the driver Lao Ma, went to Fahua Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha.
Grandpa is gone, and the house is suddenly so deserted!
Now the family is left alone, of course, those servants don't count, and this black cat who always likes to stick to himself doesn't count.
Originally, I was going to hit the foundation today, but that epiphany in the morning successfully made me have nothing to do today.
By the way, I can also go to Fahua Temple, didn't I realize that my grandfather would encounter something today? I can now turn into a 16-year-old at any time, so that I can secretly follow to protect my grandfather.
Thinking so, Tao Manman told Tao Le his thoughts, "What do you think of my approach?" Come with me! β
Tao Le looked at Tao Manman, who was excited and couldn't wait to go out, with a helpless expression.
I don't think you're trying to protect grandpa, you're just trying to have an excuse to hang out!
