Chapter 16 Prayer for Blessing I

Pei Shulan put down Pei Shufang's hand, sat on the saddle with her back straight, and said: "You also know, she didn't even earn a room, what kind of eldest son is the son she gave birth to?" - To put it nicely, it's just a servant child. If you don't say it well, it's just an adulterer. Why should I care? ”

Pei Shufang clapped her hands and smiled: "Everyone says that I can think openly, but I think that the one who thinks the most is the second sister!" ”

Pei Shulan took the handkerchief and swept it over Pei Shufang's hand, and said angrily: "Come on." You don't have to test me, I won't fill my brother-in-law's house. To do it, you do it, the most appropriate. ”

Pei Shufang smiled, looked at Pei Shulan, and said seriously: "I'll tell you the truth, I never thought of filling the house for my eldest brother-in-law." Before, I thought I couldn't dodge, so naturally I had no choice but to go up hard. Now I think my mother probably has a better candidate. ”

Pei Shulan understood, lifted the curtain, looked into the car in front of her mother and fourth sister, turned back to Pei Shufang and said, "If you want to, just open it." What is it like in the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, we also saw it that day, and it is not easy to get along. It's just that the eldest sister's two children are really pitiful, and sometimes I even want to say to my mother, just find a reason to take those two nephews directly to our old house in Yuezhou to raise them. Mother and father are not very old, and if they want a white-haired person to send a black-haired person, if they don't find something to do, I'm afraid their bodies will collapse. ”

Pei Shufang nodded hurriedly and said, "This is a good idea. Whether Mother listens or not, we have to talk about it. - It's really pitiful that such a young child has no mother. ”

The two discussed in the car, and they planned to mention it to their mother once after returning home from the Dajue Temple to pray for blessings.

The fourth lady, Pei Shufen, accompanied her mother-in-law, Mrs. Xia, to sit in the car, and kept talking to her mother with a smile, asking many things about the eldest sister when she was at home. Mrs. Xia is naturally willing to tell people about her eldest daughter Pei Shufan when she was a daughter. Pei Shufen heard that the eldest sister really grew up with the three eldest brothers learning the subset of classics and history, and even made a lot of policy articles, and she was secretly surprised.

"Your eldest sister, your eldest brother's mentor praised her back then, saying that if she was a man, our Pei family would have a second champion, but it's a pity that ......" After saying this, Mrs. Xia thought of her daughter's sick and broken body, and couldn't help but feel sad.

Pei Shufen hurriedly changed the topic, lifted the curtain and looked out, turned to Mrs. Xia and said in surprise: "Mother, is it Dajue Temple in front?" ”

Mrs. Xia looked over and caught a glimpse of a tall mountain gate not far ahead, with red walls and black tiles, a solemn scene, and nodded: "Exactly." When you were five years old, you fell seriously ill and said you couldn't survive, and your father took you here once. - Thanks to the blessing of the Bodhisattva, when you go back, your illness will be cured. ”

The cart stopped in the open space in front of the mountain gate, and Pei Shufen carefully helped Mrs. Xia get out of the car with Mrs. Xia's eldest maid Liuli.

Dajue Temple is a royal temple, and those who can come to pray for blessings are either nobles with knighthoods, or officials with ranks, or relatives with titles. Generally, ordinary people without grade are not allowed to come in. So in front of this mountain gate, it is very quiet. Except for the three carriages of the Pei family, there are only two horses tied to the stone pier on the side, and they are not as bustling and crowded as other temples.

Mrs. Xia's husband, Pei Lixing, is the first assistant of the three dynasties and the first official residence. Although he has resigned now, he still has the false title of Taifu. Mrs. Xia is also the edict of Mrs. Yipin, so she can naturally go to Dajue Temple to pray for incense.

The fourth lady, Pei Shufen, together with the maid Liuli, supported Mrs. Xia from left to right, went up to the mountain gate without squinting, and entered the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

The second lady Pei Shulan and the third lady Pei Shufang followed closely behind them, and with a few maids and women, they also entered the mountain gate.

In the Daxiong Treasure Hall, Mrs. Xia respectfully kowtowed to the Bodhisattva three times, picked up the stick holder again, closed her eyes and shook it three times, and a bamboo stick fell out of the holder.

The fourth lady, Pei Shufen, accompanied Mrs. Xia, and when she saw this, she quickly picked up the stick from the ground, and said happily to Mrs. Xia: "It's the twenty-second lot, Shangji." ”

Mrs. Xia also rejoiced in her heart, got up and took the signature from Pei Shufen's hand, looked at the signature, and saw that it read, "Jun Jin's hundred things and follow fate, and listen to nature naturally; Don't sigh that the year is unsatisfactory, and the new fortune is called the heart", it seems that they are all good words. Mrs. Xia couldn't suppress the joy on her face, and hurriedly went to the meditation room on the side and asked the abbot to sign the sign.

The abbot looked at the sign and asked Mrs. Xia who she was asking for the signature.

Mrs. Xia said solemnly: "It's for my eldest daughter." ”

The abbot held the Zen beads and pronounced a Buddha name, and recited a few verses to Mrs. Xia: "I have never been idle in my life, and I am also tired of my heart." It is easy to meet prosperity gradually, but it is easy to sigh and difficult to sigh later. ”

Mrs. Xia looked at the abbot intently and asked, "Please make it clear to the abbot." ”

The abbot put down the Zen beads, glanced at Mrs. Xia, and comforted: "Madame relax." Although the previous days were not satisfactory, Ling Qianjin was kind and giving, and accumulated blessings. In the future, it is natural to go to the water and have no way out, and the willows and flowers will be bright and another village. ”

To Pei Shufen's ears, this is the same as not saying it.

Mrs. Xia agreed what she thought in her heart, listened completely, got up and saluted her abbot, "Thank you, master, for unsigning." In the future, if it works, we should come back and thank the master again. ”

The abbot sent them out with a smile and said, "You don't need to come back on a special trip. As long as you have a Buddha in your heart, no matter where you are, you will know God in your heart. ”

After Mrs. Xia begged for the sign, she went to the Tianwang Hall next to her to find a monk to ask for a talisman.

Mrs. Xia has a lot of wishes, and she has a big promise, so she will add 1,000 taels of silver to Dajue Temple on the spot, and let Dajue Temple light an everlasting lamp for her eldest daughter Pei Shufan.

The monk of Dajue Temple heard that it was the mother who gave her daughter a lamp, and she hurriedly dissuaded Mrs. Xia, not as much as a thousand taels of silver, but would fold her daughter's blessings, so that she only needed a hundred taels of money.

Mrs. Xia listened to the words of the monk and reduced the sesame oil money to one hundred taels, and lit an everlasting lamp for Pei Shufan in front of the Buddha.

On the offering table in front of the Buddha, next to Pei Shufan's everlasting lamp, there is also a permanent lamp lit side by side, which is exactly the same as Pei Shufan's. Mrs. Xia took a closer look and found that on the small lamp holder in front of the lamp, a red note was hanging down, with the word "He" written on it.

This is full of people surnamed He in the capital, and the most famous is Hanlin He Siping. The style of this lamp seems to be lit for the girl. Mrs. Xia silently put her hands together in front of the Buddha and made a wish, and sighed to the monk on the side: "Pity the parents of the world, no matter how big the children are, they are worried." ”

The monk also returned the salute with his hands together, and responded with a smile: "Parents are charitable and children are filial, which is the foundation of my Great Qi Dynasty." If parents and children don't care about their families, then how can they be considered a person? ”

Mrs. Xia saw that this monk was talking interestingly, but it was a picture of a housekeeper of a big family, so she smiled and greeted, and asked, "This He family's everlasting lamp was also lit by her parents for the He family's girl?" ”

The monk knew Mrs. Xia's identity, and he didn't hide it from her, so he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Mrs. Xia guessed wrong this time. This ever-bright lamp was lit for her by the fiancΓ© of the He family's beleaguered girl. β€”β€”This He family is the famous Hanlin He Siping family of our Great Qi Dynasty. ”
