Chapter 40 Tianning Temple Stepping into Spring

Shen Yu sat confinement in Hemingxuan, but Shen Hu felt a little embarrassed, because the time of the annual incense and spring had arrived. In previous years, Shen Yu's family took everyone to Tianning Temple to incense and step into spring by the way, this year she is still in confinement, and Shen An's situation is not normal, will she go this year? Shen Hu couldn't be sure.

She told Shen Zeyuan about this matter, Shen Zeyuan was busy trading tea in Xining Dao, so he naturally didn't want to say much about such trivial matters, so he only said to Shen Hu's family: "You go to your sister-in-law for details." He hurriedly went out to Longjing Zhai, and he also had to talk to Yan Shang about tea-related matters.

Shen Hu thought about it, this is the truth, in previous years, it was Shen Yu's decision, so let's ask her. She went to tell Ming Xuan about it to Shen Yu, and hugged Shen Yuchen and touched his smooth little face. The little guy is cute, which made Shen Hu's family think about having one more child, and then thought about it, and finally pulled up his little ancestors, and he only had time to relax in the past two years, so why bother to find guilt, so he stopped thinking again.

"I said why you have been frowning for the past two days, this thing is easy to do! You took Ning'er and Yao'er to Tianning Temple to incense and spring, anyway, the old lady and a few of them had something to do in the court, and Hong'er also went back to Hangzhou, and you took them away for a day and a half. I have Yu's mother and nurse here, it's okay, why not? Shen Yu said, remembering that Shen Huashan had something to do with the Ministry of Industry this year, and Shen Zejing had something to do with the exam, so he had to go to Tianning Temple to make incense and ask for peace of mind.

Shen Hu thought that this was exactly the case, and it was the main thing to go to Tianning Temple to offer incense and ask for peace of mind. Besides, Le'er and a few of them are still far away in Hangzhou, and Shen Zeyuan will go to Xining Road in April. She finally decided to take a few aunts and little girls to Tianning Temple to incense, because she was not worried about Shen Yu and Shen An and others, Shen Hu decided not to spend the night in Tianning Temple like in previous years, and planned to turn around on the same day, not even with luggage, and the group was much lighter.

Tianning Temple is located in the western suburbs of Jingzhao and is the place where the Shen family worships the Buddha every year. There have always been few pilgrims in Tianning Temple, one is because the location is somewhat remote, and the other is because there are two major temples in Jingzhao City to protect the country and repay the favor. Protecting the country, repaying the grace of the two temples of incense flourishing, at the beginning of the establishment of Dayong is the place of the royal Buddha, until now, when the royal relatives and the Jingzhao hundred officials worship the Buddha incense, the vast majority of them go to these two temples, and the people of Jingzhao believe that the incense of these two temples will protect them. In this way, there will naturally be fewer people coming to Tianning Temple. If it weren't for the fact that the previous abbot of Tianning Temple, Wuyi Zen Master, had a good relationship with Shen Ji'an, the former patriarch of the Shen family, and the current abbot Chang Zhen Zen Master had a very close relationship with this patriarch Shen Huashan, it is estimated that the Shen family would not go to Tianning Temple.

Those who went to Tianning Temple to worship the Buddha were all the daughters of the Shen family, led by Shen Hu, three aunts and six little girls followed together, and this way to the western suburbs, Shen Hu and his party were also in high spirits. At the end of March, the Jingzhao grass warbler flies, with the unique depth and soothing of late spring, and the scenery of the flowers that have not yet fallen in spring makes everyone have the freehand of stepping on spring in the suburbs.

By asking who is in charge of the spring, a pair of butterflies cross the river bridge, this peach and willow green, this spring breeze blows, the scenery of this twilight spring is really unique. The Shen family and his party enjoyed the spring scenery of Jingzhao along the way, and there were many people who went out to enjoy the spring in the twilight of spring, the carriage moved slowly, Shen Wan and Shen Hu's youngest daughter Shen Jia endured the excitement and tried to maintain Duanshu's expression, and the pretending to be serious made Shen Mi and Shen Yao almost laugh.

While enjoying the scenery and marching, the group came to Tianning Temple slowly. When they arrived, Zen Master Chang Zhen was already waiting outside the mountain gate, he had already received a letter from Shen Huashan earlier, knowing that the Shen family was coming, with the friendship between Chang Zhen Zen Master and the Shen family, he had to come to the mountain gate to pick up the Shen family.

Zen Master Chang Zhen is over seventy years old, and Shen Huashan can be regarded as friends who have forgotten their years. Xu is the reason why the spirit of the mountains and forests nourishes people, although he is very old, he does not look old; The face is ruddy and energetic, the beard is snow-white and long, and a simple monk's robe flutters slightly in the spring breeze, as if it is about to rise in the wind, giving people the feeling of fairy wind and bones. Shen Hu, Shen Ning and others hurriedly saluted Changzhen Zen Master according to the etiquette of Buddhism, and then respectfully followed Chang Zhen Zen Master, and under his leadership, stepped into the mountain gate of Tianning Temple.

Like many ancient temples and old temples, Tianning Temple is built on the mountain, but it is not majestic, but it is subtle and warm, and it is extremely simple and elegant in the deep mountains of the ancient temple. The middle road of the front is the mountain gate, the bell tower and the drum tower are left and right of the mountain gate, behind the mountain gate are the Tianwang Palace, the Daxiong Treasure Palace, the Dharma Hall and the Tibetan Scripture Building, and the monk's room, the dining hall and the Juke Hall are located behind the Tibetan Scripture Building. The Shen family will come to the guest hall to live for a few days every year, so they are also very familiar with the layout of Tianning Temple, and Chang Zhen Zen Master does not explain, only leading Shen Hu and others to settle in the guest hall first, and then incense to the Buddha, he will not be accompanied. Shen Hu hurriedly thanked Zen Master Chang Zhen for his kindness, and conveyed Shen Huashan's greetings to Zen Master Chang Zhen, saying that if there is something to do this year, he will not stop, just wait for the incense to kneel down and then return to Jingzhao after eating fasting and so on.

I couldn't be more familiar with this place - savoring this tranquil Zen, Shen Ning sighed in his heart. In her previous life, for a whole year, she appeared in Tianning Temple every day. Soon after she married Shangguan Changzhi, Zhongshu ordered Wei Jingyao's old Taijun to live in Tianning Temple for a long time to worship Buddha, and Shen Ning appeared in Tianning Temple every day, talking about Buddhism and Zen theory with Wei Taijun, and gradually won the favor of Wei Taijun, so that Zhongshu made Wei Jingyao turn to support Shangguan Changzhi.

And now, Shen Ning reverently knelt in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and his heart was indescribable. In the previous life, the Buddha talked about Zen, and every time he was apprehensive and flattering, he had a different mind at all, saying that the cloud was in the blue sky and the water was in the bottle was just to get the support of the Wei family, how could he be sincere? Where is piety? Without the heart of refuge and piety, without the intention of abstaining from evil and cultivating good, is it not a kind of punishment and retribution to end up like that in the previous life?

And now, she looks at the compassionate smile of the Buddha, and the eyes seem to have read through thousands of worlds, and they seem to contain the silence of thousands of worlds, and the so-called compassion is silent. She knows everything, what kind of blessing is it to be reborn in this life, is it the Buddha's mercy or the Buddha's grace?

In short, I will not waste this life. Shen Ning respectfully kowtowed, and after a moment, he was extremely heavy, not knowing whether to thank the Buddha or repent of his karma.

After fasting, Shen Hu took Shen Ning and his party to say goodbye to Zen Master Chang Zhen, she still remembered the affairs of Shen Mansion, and she really didn't dare to stay too long.

There was also a guest at Zen Master Chang Zhen, a young man, who looked a little older than Shen Yuhong, with far-reaching eyebrows, and was listening to Zen Master Chang Zhen talking about Buddhism with a serious face. Shen Hu even claimed to be disturbed, and the Tao was a family with important matters to say goodbye to the Zen master, but he didn't expect to disturb the Zen master, don't be surprised.

"It's okay, it's okay, this is my little friend, the son of the Hou Ying family of Qingping, Nantu, this is the family of the Shen family, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry......" Chang Zhen Zen Master smiled happily and introduced the young man to Shen Hu and others, and the young man also greeted Shen Hu and others with a smile, and then sat down in Chang Zhen Zen Master without saying a word.

Ying Nantu?! Shen Ning lowered his head and opened his eyes slightly, then raised his head again and glanced at the young man quickly, his face was completely impressed, and he really hadn't seen it. Ying Nantu, the eldest son of Ying Pingchuan, the Marquis of Qingping, died at the age of twenty and died in the thirty-sixth year of Changtai, so among the princes and ministers, Shen Ning has never seen him, only heard this name, and heard that God is jealous of talent.

The far-reaching young man in front of him is the Ying Nantu who died young? Speaking of which, he is still nominally Shangguan Changzhi's cousin, and the stepwife of the Marquis of Qingping, Li, is the sister of Li Guifei's mother. Shen Ning didn't expect to meet this person, there was no trace to be found in his previous life, how could he meet this dying person?

She raised her head and glanced at Ying Nantu again, a little frightened, Ying Nantu She had only heard people talk about it once or twice, how could she meet this person in this life?

Why is her gaze so strange? Shen Ning's action of looking up at him also attracted Ying Nantu's attention, how could it be like a shock? It seems unbelievable, he doesn't seem to know her, does he? The little girl of the Shen family...... Whatever, let's talk to the old man Chang Zhen about where it's more interesting, but with a little doubt, Ying Nantu stopped thinking about it.

No matter how Shen Ning guessed about Ying Nantu in his heart, he didn't come up with a reason. Shen Mi looked at Shen Ning with such an uncertain appearance, which was quite strange, and on the way back, she quietly asked, "What's wrong with my sister?" "I looked a little worried. After nearly a year of getting along, the relationship between the two is already very good, and it is only right that Shen Mi will ask like this.

"It's okay, I just think the scenery of Tianning Temple is getting better and better, but why are there still so few people......" Shen Ning remembered that this was on the return carriage, and suddenly wanted to laugh. What's going on, so what does it have to do with Ying Nantu whether she is alive or died young? Perhaps sensing the Buddha's compassion, he thought too much for a while, so he threw away the matter, and what he thought about in his mind was still the matter of Mrs. Wei.

In this life, will Mrs. Wei come to Tianning Temple? In this life, who is Shangguan Changzhi looking for to please the old lady? How to get the support of the Wei family? She is looking forward to this.

Shen Yuhong and others had already arrived in Hangzhou, and came back with a letter, saying that they had sacrificed to their ancestors and visited their ancestors' homes; He also said that there is no scenery of the West Lake in the world, and the whole person is quiet and far-reaching next to the lonely mountain, and a few poems are attached to the mouth of several people on the edge of the West Lake, including "where the spring falls at that time, the autumn of a hundred years is flickering", "The dream is gone, and the lonely mountain is a few small buildings", and finally asks to stay in Hangzhou for a while and then come back. Shen Zejing replied to the letter, and commented a few words by the way, the Taoist weather was acceptable, and encouraged them to feel more and naturally follow the way of heaven in their hearts.
