As soon as An Sheng mentioned Yaolu, his smile was like a flower, and joy naturally radiated from the inside out.

During this period of time, she had to do everything in the house, trembling, full of scheming, deep and old-fashioned. As soon as I went to the pharmacy and unloaded the burden, she reverted to a simple, lively and likable little girl, which is a completely different personality.

Today, Xia Yuanwai's attitude towards her changed and she relaxed, and her eyebrows fluttered to tell some interesting things, or pouted, or bared her teeth, showing the attitude of her little daughter.

And Xia Yuanwai also discovered for the first time that the second daughter of his family, who was fiery and unruly, was actually rare and intelligent, and her mind was exquisite, no wonder she could be valued by a cold doctor. How did I get blinded and not find out before?

It was the lively time, and the little girl outside the door whispered: "Master, aunt, the third and fourth ladies are here." ”

"Zixian is here too? Let them in. Xia Yuanwai was in a good mood and was busy with orders.

As soon as the words fell, the door of the house was pushed open, Xia Ziwu stood at the door, swept around the room coldly, and then squeezed out a smile: "So lively? ”

Xia Yuanwai was estranged from the Xue family in his heart, and he still favored these two daughters, and greeted with a smile: "Come in, come in, come and taste this crab." ”

The girl was busy moving the embroidery pier and adding dishes and chopsticks.

Xia Ziwu pulled Xia Zixian behind her, walked in proudly, and sat down next to An Sheng.

"Father has delicious food here, but he only cares about the second sister, but he forgets us." Xia Ziwu complained.

"It's not a rare meal, it's just sitting and talking. If you like it, I'll bring some back tomorrow. ”

Xia Yuanwai threw the crab in his hand into the plate in front of Xia Ziwu and said casually.

"Forget it, even the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, there is no such leisure now." Xia Ziwu glanced at An Sheng, and said meaningfully: "Mother can't swallow food, how can those of us who are daughters talk and laugh as if nothing happened?" ”

An Sheng used crab scissors to cut off the crab legs in front of him one by one, concentrating, and ignored Xia Ziwu's finger scolding.

Xia Ziwu mentioned Xue Xiuliang's matter around the corner, Xia Yuanwai was obviously displeased, and said coldly: "Xue Xiuliang has done something wrong, he should be taught a lesson, and he will take it as a warning in the future." Indulge him like your mother did, and clean up the mess over and over again, which will only make him even worse in the future, and poke down a bigger basket.

How much does your uncle care about our relatives, and he won't embarrass him too much, if he is someone else, where is his life now? Your mother's concern is chaotic, and you, who are daughters, should distinguish between right and wrong, understand these truths, and persuade your mother to be relieved, instead of adding fuel to the fire. ”

Xia Ziwu was about to open her mouth to refute, but Xia Zixian on the side secretly tugged at her sleeve: "What my father said is very true, we also comfort our mother like this." The mother was just distressed and anxious, and there was no complaint in her heart. No, I also advise the two of us to be more filial to our father, and move around more with Aunt Rou, so that everything is prosperous. ”

Xia Yuanwai nodded with satisfaction: "You have always been the most sensible, and my father is very pleased." ”

"It's all the teachings of my father and mother, and Zixian can't forget it."

The maid brought ginger soup and handed it to the two, Xia Ziwu took it in her hand and smiled sarcastically: "Aunt Rou grew up in a nunnery since she was a child, how can she stand the smell of ginger?" ”

Aunt Rou said indifferently: "When I was in the nunnery before, I was ordained, I didn't eat onions and garlic, and I wasn't too harsh on ginger. What's more, I've always been a lay disciple, and I've long been vulgar, don't say ginger, even if it's not a vegetarian dish, I eat it the same. ”

"Aunt Rou really forgot if she didn't mention it, and she got an object by chance, and gave it to Aunt Rou as she liked."

Xia Zixian took out a pair of yarn from the cuffs, put it on the table in a clean place, and unfolded it, on it was an embroidered image of Master Guanyin, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, solemn and strict, and embroidered vividly. And under her lotus seat, there is a scripture embroidered.

Xia Ziwu poked her head over and exclaimed: "What a delicate embroidery." Then he went to read the scriptures under the embroidered image: "Pure and pure light, the sun of wisdom breaks through all darkness, can subdue disasters and wind and fire, and shine brightly on the world." The compassion is thunderous, and the kindness is wonderful...... It's a mess, but what it means, it's inexplicable. ”

Xia Zixian raised her eyes to look at Aunt Rou: "I don't understand these either, presumably Aunt Rou can answer our questions." ”

Aunt Rou glanced at the scripture indifferently, and said unhurriedly: "To listen to the sound of the Buddha, you need to pay attention to the Buddha's fate, the two young ladies are not destined people, so they naturally can't understand the profound teachings." ”

"Really?" Xia Zixian looked over and over: "Then may I ask Aunt Rou, which scripture is this from?" Can you tell me? In my spare time, I would like to transcribe some and pray for my father and mother. ”

Aunt Rou lowered her head and used the crab needle to dig out the meat in the crab claws to eat, and the crab needle knocked on the bone plate, and there was a sound of "ding": "If you want to copy the scriptures and pray for blessings, you can copy the "Myoho-renge-kyo" or "Guanyin Heart Sutra". ”

"Really?" Xia Zixian said meaningfully: "I thought this was the Guanyin Heart Sutra." ”

Aunt Rou didn't raise her head: "Don't be too entangled in the form, as long as the mind arrives, the heart will be sincere." ”

Xia Zixian continued to ask: "Then is this scripture the Heart Sutra or the Lotus Sutra?" ”

Aunt Rou said lightly: "It's been a long time, I can't remember it clearly." ”

"Oh?" Xia Zixian raised her eyebrows slightly: "I heard that the Lotus Sutra is the first of all scriptures, but all people in Buddhism will recite it, and these few sentences, vaguely remembered, seem to be the "Guanyin Bodhisattva Pumen Pin" in the "Lotus Sutra". Such an important scripture, Aunt Rou can't even remember? ”

An Sheng suddenly realized at this time that Xia Zixian was clearly Xiang Zhuang dancing the sword, which was intended for Pei Gong. Through gift-giving, he tested Aunt Rou's reality and reality.

As a registered disciple who grew up in Buddhism since childhood, if Aunt Rou doesn't even know the most common scriptures, then her Buddhist identity will not stand up to scrutiny.

Aunt Rou was not in a hurry, but smiled softly: "I, a bhikshuni who is fostered in a nunnery, I have a lot of work to do every day, and it is a luxury for me to calm down and read the scriptures. ”

Xia Ziwu on the side sneered: "Your father is also a dignified master, and he is willing to let you suffer?" ”

Aunt Rou sighed helplessly: "My father is also helpless, I have been weak since I was a child, and I am light, and a fortune teller said that I am the reincarnation of a fairy child, and I can't raise a lot, and the Bodhisattva will take me back sooner or later." My father was also for my own good, so he had to raise me in Buddhism, receive Dharma baptism, be reborn, and only take me back when I became an adult. ”

Xia Yuanwai was obviously dissatisfied with Xia Ziwu's tone, and glared at her: "You have been pampered since you were a child, and you always don't know how to cherish your blessings, you should be tempered." ”

"Which nunnery is Aunt Rou in to be so mean?" Xia Zixian continued to inquire and refused to give up.

"It's not well known, and even in our local area, there are many people who have never heard of it." Aunt Rou shook her head in twos and pounds, and immediately perfunctory Xia Zixian's inquiry.

Xia Zixian was relentless, pressing step by step: "My uncle also went to your hometown to make a living, he is quite familiar with it, if you say it, he must know." ”

Xia Zixian was aggressive, obviously unwilling to give in, Aunt Rou smiled, and set aside a thousand pounds: "How is Miss Fourth so interested in me in the past today?" ”

On the side, Xia Ziwu sneered: "What is Aunt Rou doing so sensitive?" It's just to ask where you came from, why do you keep pushing back and forth? ”

Aunt Rou glanced at Master Xia pitifully, with a request for help.

To tell the truth, Xia Zixian and the two tried again and again, and Aunt Rou's words did not match the afterword, and she was perfunctory again and again, which made An Sheng feel suspicious. It's just that what difference does it make if she comes from a nunnery or a brothel? This identity, maybe really, is just as they suspected, but Xia Yuanwai covered it up for her.

At the beginning, the Xue family was also just a broken household, and the reputation was not good, didn't the father hold it in the palm of his hand and carry the steproom? Father likes it, even if it is a woman who comes out of the green building, it doesn't matter to him.

Xia Yuanwai was really a little annoyed: "Ziwu Zixian, the two of you came here to deliberately look for trouble and give your mother a grievance, aren't you?" ”

Xia Ziwu stood up with a "pout": "Father, isn't this an obvious thing?" She clearly didn't grow up in a nunnery, but it was just to hide her true identity. You've been cheated by her! ”

Xia Yuanwai was annoyed when he heard this: "What nonsense? Father married her in a sedan chair from the local master's mansion, what is her identity, and she still needs to be reminded? Besides, what can your father have to do here? ”

"What's going on in Master's Mansion? Local officials do everything to get married to Beijing officials, even if there is no girl to be married at home, can't they buy one back? Xia Ziwu hit the nail on the head.

"No, no, my father is not such a person." Aunt Rou was crying and aggrieved.

"Enough!" Xia Yuanwai scolded sharply: "Ziwu, you have disappointed your father too much, how can you talk nonsense and belittle others?" Like your mother, you are narrow-minded and have no room for anyone! ”

Xia Ziwu was also pampered and grew up, Xia Yuanwai has never said anything serious, and today's reprimand can be described as a strong voice, so he is a little angry.

"You believe what she says? She said she grew up in a nunnery, so you asked her to memorize a scripture? You asked her to tell me what the nunnery was called. We sent someone to ask if she was lying. ”

"What if Aunt Rou didn't grow up in a nunnery? It was just an experience. The important thing is that she is now my Xia family's aunt. Xia Yuanwai said angrily: "This matter must not be mentioned again in the future!" ”
