Chapter 101 Seeking a Son

Xun Qing dyed and went to Guanyin Nunnery to make incense, and only planned to bring two malt and aster.

"Grandma went out, only the two of them, I'm afraid it won't be thoughtful. Why don't you take someone with your grandmother? Mama Song said.

"No need." Xun Qingran waved his hand, "Seeing that the old lady's birthday is coming, a lot of needles and threads have to be rushed out." Mama Song, stay at home, don't let these big girls do anything else, just let them concentrate on needlework. The second and third grandmothers will go with me, and there will be no shortage of people to serve. Xun Qing said.

Qi Er's grandmother said she couldn't go, but for some reason she changed her mind again, but Qi San's grandmother got the news the day before and came over and said that she wanted to go together. Xun Qingran simply went to invite Qi Da * Milk again, but Qi Da * Milk said that Uncle and Brother Zhang were a little bad, and she couldn't be separated and couldn't go. Therefore, the three of them are still traveling together today, just like going to congratulate Master Xun that day.

Xun Qingran sent Mama Song out, and called the bellflower to quietly give some instructions.

“…… If you look carefully and find anything, don't worry about it, just write it down and come back and tell me. Kikyo solemnly agreed.

Xun Qingran arranged the matter of Ning Yuanju, and went to bid farewell to Second Mrs. Qi. Second Mrs. Qi deliberately took out a letter of twenty taels of silver and asked her to donate more sesame oil and read a few more volumes of scriptures.

Shancai Street, where Guanyin Nunnery is located, is in the south of the capital, and the carriage traveled for about an hour. Xun Qingran lifted the corner of the curtain and looked out, and when she saw the mother-in-law of the car, she pointed to the alley on the left and said that it was Zhoujia Lane. Xun Qingran looked at the mouth of the alley, this alley is quite quiet, there is a pavilion at the mouth of the alley, and there are three or five people in the pavilion, or drinking tea or eating noodles. Not far away, there are tea stalls, camel burdens, and merchants selling velvet threads. The merchant and his daughter-in-law, dressed in tattered cotton clothes, shrank their hands because of the cold, and their heads and faces were tightly wrapped, and they looked at the pavilion from time to time, as if they wanted to go in to keep warm, but they stopped because of the shyness in their pockets.

The carriage went forward again, about a stone's throw away, and it was Shancai Street. Kannon-an is at the end of Seonjae Street. The day before, Grandma Qi Er had already sent someone to support, so Xun Qingran and his party got out of the carriage, and Tai Miaoyin, the host of the nunnery, came up to greet them.

The three of them followed Miaoyin into the mountain gate, bypassed the two main halls in front of them, and went straight to the third hall, which is the most famous Guanyin Hall of Guanyin.

Miaoyin Shi is about forty years old, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, quite good at talking, and accompanied the three concubines all the way, talking about the architectural origin of the nunnery.

"Knowing that grandma was coming today, I specially cleaned it."

It turned out that it was the time when Grandma Qi Er informed her, and Master Miaoyin deliberately emptied the Guanyin Palace, and only waited for them to come to the incense before letting other pilgrims in.

Seeing that the cleaning in this hall was spotless, and there were no idle people inside and outside the hall, the futons under the case were covered with brand-new cushions, and nodded with satisfaction.

The three of them bowed down in front of the Buddha statue in turn, and prayed for the end. Grandma Qi Er asked people to send two silver letters, "This one, for our old lady to print 100 volumes of the Diamond Sutra, this is my offering, add some sesame oil, and the candles will be enshrined in this hall for me." ”

In addition to the silver, Xun Qing sent a woolen green cloth. "Printing fifty volumes of scripture for our wife, and ......"

"I also want to offer more incense and candles, this is the fourth grandmother in our house, who came to ask for a son sincerely." Grandma Qi Er laughed beside her.

Seeing that the blessing was abundant, the master of Miaoyin folded his hands together, and looked at Xun Qing's dyed face, knowing that it was the new daughter-in-law's tender face, and said with a smile: "This fourth grandmother has a rich and noble face, and has many sons and blessings, so she will print fifty volumes of rituals for her grandmother to recite Guanyin Bodhisattva and ask for a son, and grandma will definitely be able to get a noble son." ”

This auspicious words of the monk, Xun Qingran listened to it with a smile.

"Inviting a few grandmothers to the back clean room to rest and drink a cup of tea from the hermitage is a little bit of the poor nun's heart." As she spoke, she accompanied the three of them to the clean room at the back, and the little nun brought fragrant tea. After talking for a while, Grandma Qi Er said that she was a little tired.

"There is no bed here, the meditation room of the poor nun is quite clean, and grandma does not dislike it, so she will go and lie down for a while." Miao Yin said.

Second Grandma Qi nodded, let Xun Qingran and Third Grandma Qi take care of themselves, and went elsewhere accompanied by Miaoyin. Grandma Qi San also got up and said that she was going out for a walk. Only Xun Qingye carried malt and aster in the house.

Xun Qingran called a nun who was guarding the door, asked for the law number, and knew that her name was Jingxu.

"Little Master Jingxu, in your nunnery, are there any good ones who chant scriptures?"

"Back to the donor, the senior sisters and sisters in the temple will all recite the scriptures, which one will the donor listen to?"

"Then you call a few, just come here, recite the Medicine King Bodhisattva Sutra, don't alarm the master, and don't disturb the two grandmothers." Xun Qing said.

Jingxu went out, and after a while, he brought seven or eight nuns, meditated on the futon, and really knocked on the wooden fish and recited the scriptures.

Xun Qingran sat on it, closed his eyes, and only listened to the scriptures, but he really thought about it in his heart.

Xun Shufang stuffed a note that day, and after she read it, she only stuffed it in her sleeve. Later, when she went to the small study to meet Junhui, she remembered this incident and wanted to take a note to discuss with Junhui, only to find that the note was gone.

For fear that Junhui would be worried, she didn't mention it.

Later, she went back the same way, but she didn't find the note, and in retrospect, it was most likely that she accidentally lost it while playing the leaf card. Not only the few girls she carried, but also the second grandmother Qi, the third grandmother of the Qi family, the eldest * grandmother of the Xun family and the girls and mothers-in-law around them may be picked up.

This matter is not easy to publicize, Xun Qingran had to pretend to be a dim sum recipe, and called the girls to ask one by one, but no one admitted it. Then the best result is that the note is thrown away as a useless thing, and the bad result is that it is picked up by someone with a heart, and it is necessary to make waves.

Today is the day when Xun Shufang agreed to meet. Xun Qingran thought about the contents of the note, and carefully recalled the arrangements he had made, confirming that nothing was wrong, and he only hoped that there would be no mistakes over there.

"Oh, I thought my brother and sister had gone, but they were here to listen to the scriptures."

Xun Qingran opened her eyes and saw that it was Grandma Qi San who walked in, and hurriedly motioned for her to silence, "It takes fifty times to read it, and it will take some work." ”

Although Grandma Qi San was too lazy to listen to the scriptures, she didn't want to go out again, and she didn't want to go to Grandma Qi Er alone, so she had to sit down next to Xun Qingran. It's easy to wait for the nuns to finish reciting the scriptures, and then talk back and forth in silence. Xun Qingran asked Malt to send a few strings of money to make shoes and socks for these female nuns who recited scriptures.

Jingxu thanked him and led the people down.

Grandma Qi San had already held back her words, and leaned into Xun Qingran's ear.

"Fourth brother and sister, I hear something interesting. Do you know that in the yard of the second sister-in-law of the previous son, a daughter-in-law was punished for kneeling on the porcelain piece, and the daughter-in-law was pregnant, and before the two hours came, she couldn't support it and shed a lot of blood. The mother-in-law sent her home and gave birth to a male fetus. The second sister-in-law called Miaoyin alone, asking her to recite the mantra of the past, for fear that the ghosts would be haunted. ”

This is not news to Xun Qingran, so it is only faint. Grandma Qi San's gossip enthusiasm is high, and she was so distracted by her, but she still wants to talk about it.

"Fourth brother and sister, do you know why the second sister-in-law can't get along with a subordinate like this......"

Xun Qingran pretended not to hear it, and took out the pocket watch from his arms.

"The hour is almost up, third sister-in-law, let's find the second sister-in-law and go home together." Xun Qingran stood up.

The two of them went to Miaoyin's meditation room to find Grandma Qi.

Outside the gate of Guanyin Nunnery, the carriage of the Qi family is parked. A few rough mothers-in-law failed to follow up with the nunnery, and they also burned the stove in the leeward outside the nunnery, and crowded together to keep warm. A slender daughter-in-law hurriedly walked from the nunnery, and a mother-in-law hurriedly greeted her.

"If sister-in-law Yan has anything, just tell the old woman."

"The second grandmother forgot something in the car and told me to pick it up." The daughter-in-law raised her chin.

"This is the second grandmother's car, what do you want to take, the old woman will help the sister-in-law get it." The mother-in-law laughed and took a stool from the back of the car and put it on the ground.

"Second grandma's things, which can also be touched by your hands?" The daughter-in-law gave the mother-in-law a blank look, climbed into the car, and took a small bag. When I got out of the car, I stepped on the stool a little unsteadily, and my mother-in-law hurried over to help. But the daughter-in-law was pickled, kicked the mother-in-law away with her foot, twisted her waist and went into the nunnery.

The mother-in-law was kicked, but she still laughed, and when the figure of the daughter-in-law disappeared into the mountain gate, she immediately changed her face, spat at the back, and moved back to her partner.

"You old thing, the horse's ass was slapped on the horse's buttocks, and you were heartfelt." The other mothers-in-law laughed.

"Phew!" This mother-in-law was teased by her companions, and spat fiercely, "This Yan family's **, there are five people and six people just go up, and she can't hide it from me." stepped on the blood of a family of three and climbed up, and she was not afraid of retribution from the thunder of the sky. ”

The woman's exit was fierce, and the others hurriedly approached to ask what was going on.

"That little guy is dead, and he sells it, don't say you don't know."

A few mothers-in-law came together and muttered.

"What they did, who doesn't know, that kid is really ......?"

"I'm afraid that little guy can't say it clearly." A mother-in-law laughed, "He relied on that trick to get face in front of the master, and it was the master who bought her this daughter-in-law with money, and it is not uncommon for him to have a hand." The daughter-in-law of the Yan family and their good ones almost wore a pair of pants, so they fell out. ”

"Where is the falling out, when the two of them were sold, I don't know who sold them."

"What the hell is going on, I don't understand."

"If you could understand, you wouldn't be still blowing cold wind here at your age."

"So, you understand, why are you blowing the wind here with me."

A few mothers-in-law were giggling and talking lively, listening to the sound of horses' hooves on the long street. Pedestrians on the street automatically took refuge to the side of the street, and several tall horses galloped in. When he was a red horse, he was dressed in gorgeous clothes and his face was like a crown of jade.

"Alas, that's not our fourth master, why is the fourth master here?!"
