Chapter Ninety-Seven The flowers in the mirror are not flowers, and the edge is the sand in the palm
Yang Xiaotao was obviously stunned, and when she saw Xia Nansheng from her arms, she took out a silver ticket of five hundred taels and handed it to a little monk, Yang Xiaotao understood, it turned out that it was because Xia Nansheng gave birth to incense money, and this abbot would personally unsign for her.
Yang Xiaotao was originally an atheist, but now that the silver has been given, she is incomprehensible.
According to the ancient people, before going to the Buddha to offer incense, they must be prepared, pay attention to a little bathing and changing clothes, but Yang Xiaotao feels that this is just everyone's mental effect, if the Buddha really has a spirit, why are there so many things, unsatisfactory.
Soon Yang Xiaotao pulled Le'er and knelt down on the futon, one person is also solved, and two are too, Yang Xiaotao smiled evilly, and wanted to pull Xia Nansheng together, but Xia Nansheng waved his hand again and again, this kind of thing, only Yang Xiaotao can do it.
Looking at Yang Xiaotao and teaching Le'er to shake lots, Xia Nansheng just stood quietly behind the two, looking at her shadow, her eyes full of tenderness.
In the Zen room in the backyard of Anhe Temple, Yang Xiaotao sat opposite the abbot, and Le'er also followed her example and sat quietly next to Yang Xiaotao.
Yang Xiaotao handed the signed document she had just exchanged to the abbot on the opposite side and said, "I'm sorry for you, abbot." ”
After the abbot took the sign in Yang Xiaotao's hand, he whispered, "Amitabha." He looked at it carefully and signed the document in his hand.
Yang Xiaotao took a closer look at the abbot in front of her.
The abbot was about 70 years old, and in ancient times he was considered a long-lived person, and he had a 12-point precept scar on the top of his head, which was the highest "bodhisattva vow" in the precepts.
Looking at the abbot's gray beard, he really has a feeling of being a master in the world, and his two pairs of eyes are extremely bright, as if he can see through everything in the world.
The abbot whispered softly, "The phoenix rests on the plane tree, and the hidden dragon Jin Ge dominates the industry." When he finished reading, he was obviously a little surprised, touched his beard, and then set his eyes on Yang Xiaotao.
Yang Xiaotao was a little confused by the abbot's actions, so she asked, "Abbot, but what's wrong with this sign?" "I don't know why, although she doesn't believe in Buddhism, but when she sees the abbot like this, she has an inexplicable nervousness, for fear that there is something bad about this sign.
I saw that the abbot looked at Yang Xiaotao for a long time before he said, "Female donor, this signature should not be yours." ”
Yang Xiaotao was stunned, what the abbot said was right, this signature was indeed not hers, but Le'er's, but how did the abbot know.
Yang Xiaotao suddenly didn't dare to underestimate this abbot, and said in a somewhat respectful tone, "What the abbot said is good, the signature is indeed not mine, but my daughter's." As he spoke, he looked at Le'er beside him.
The abbot followed Yang Xiaotao's gaze and looked at Le'er, only to see Le'er looking at the two of them with a puzzled expression, and said sweetly, "Grandpa Abbot, is Le'er's sign not good." ”
After listening to Le'er's words, the abbot laughed and said, "No, no, this sign is the top sign." ”
Yang Xiaotao hurriedly asked, "Abbot, since it is a sign from above, what is the interpretation of this signature." ”
I saw the abbot sigh, folded his hands, shook his head and said, "The Buddha said, don't say it, don't say it." ”
Yang Xiaotao was stunned, what do you mean, it's the same as not saying it, five hundred taels of silver can't be changed?
Thinking like this, Yang Xiaotao suddenly had an impulse, not wanting this old monk to untie his signature, for fear that the old monk would say something that could not be said or said at that time.
However, the abbot smiled and said, "Female donor, I don't know if your signature can let the poor monk take a look." ”
Seeing the abbot speak, Yang Xiaotao could only reluctantly hand over his signature.
The abbot took the sign and read out softly, "The flowers in the mirror are not flowers, and the edge is the sand in the palm." ”
Before Yang Xiaotao could speak, the abbot frowned, as if he had encountered a problem, and then said, "Female donor, this is a flat sign." ”
"What is a tie?" Yang Xiaotao asked curiously.
The abbot explained, "The so-called flat sign is whether it is good or bad, and what is important is how the female benefactor thinks and acts." ”
Yang Xiaotao seemed to understand and asked, "The abbot, how do I solve this sign?" ”
The abbot said meaningfully, "There is no soul in the mirror, blessings and misfortunes, sand in the palm, and fate." ”
After saying this, the abbot got up, ignored Yang Xiaotao, and walked out of the door.
Watching the abbot's grandfather walk out of the door, Le'er was puzzled, "Mother, this abbot's grandfather is so strange, Le'er didn't understand what he said." ”
Yang Xiaotao gently rubbed Le'er's little head and fell into contemplation, at first she only thought that this abbot was just playing tricks, but when she heard that sentence, there was no soul in the mirror, Yang Xiaotao was shocked, did this abbot see something?
Blessings and misfortunes, sand in the palm, fate, is the abbot telling her that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, everything cannot be forced, and what happens to her is also fate?
Xia Nansheng saw Yang Xiaotao leading Le'er out, so he asked, "Xiaotao, how is the signing?" ”
Yang Xiaotao smiled reluctantly, "That abbot master, he is really a master." ”
Xia Nansheng smiled and said, "That's natural, this abbot master is extremely famous, even the emperor of the current dynasty, in order to ask him a few words, also asked people to invite him five times, but this master is stubborn and unwilling to leave this temple for half a step." ”
Speaking of this, Xia Nansheng seemed to think of something, and said, "It's also strange to say, this abbot master usually doesn't sign with people on weekdays, but today he took the initiative to explain it for you, and I don't know what it means." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao's heart shook violently, could it be that this abbot master had already seen that she was different from ordinary people?
Le'er on the side pouted and said, "The abbot's grandfather is very strange, and Le'er can't understand a word of what he says." ”
Xia Nansheng hugged Le'er and said with a smile, "That's because Le'er is still young." ”
And Yang Xiaotao turned around, looked at the abbot master, and couldn't return to his senses for a long time in the direction he left.
After Yang Xiaotao and the others left, the abbot master sat in the meditation room, looked at the two signatures on the table, sighed, picked up the signatures, and lit them in the candlelight.
He muttered, "The life of the female benefactor is really strange, but that child." At this point, the abbot stopped speaking, but closed his eyes and knocked on the wooden fish.
As soon as she walked out of the temple gate, Yang Xiaotao bumped into a person, but fortunately, Xia Nansheng reached out in time to help her, so that she didn't fall.
As soon as Yang Xiaotao stood firm, she saw a little girl and shouted angrily, "Who walks so carelessly, if you hurt my young lady, you must look good." ”
Just now, Yang Xiaotao was thinking about the words that the abbot master said, and she didn't look at the road in front of her carefully, but she could be sure that she was walking very slowly, and if she wanted to say that the person who hit someone, I was afraid that it wasn't her.
Before Yang Xiaotao could speak, the woman who was held steady by the girl turned her eyes to Xia Nansheng behind Yang Xiaotao, and said softly with some excitement, "Xiao Jiu, it's none of this girl's business, I was careless, I walked too quickly and bumped into this girl." ”
Yang Xiaotao looked at the young lady, the woman's eyebrows were delicate, she was wearing an ingots, and she was wearing a light yellow collar pink and green dark flower placket made by Taoji, although the woman looked delicate, but it made her feel that there was an indescribable sense of charm.
The girl who was called Xiaojiu glared at Yang Xiaotao fiercely, and then honestly retreated behind her own young lady.
Yang Xiaotao didn't want to worry about them, and was about to turn around and leave.
The young lady looked at Xia Nansheng and smiled slightly, "Young Master Xia, how can you also be in An Yu." ”
As soon as she heard this, Yang Xiaotao looked at Xia Nansheng and thought to herself that the two knew each other.
I saw Xia Nansheng frowning, and wondered, "I don't know who Miss is?" ”
Seeing that Xia Nansheng didn't seem to remember herself, the young lady's eyes dimmed a little and said, "It turns out that Xia Gongzi doesn't remember me, the little girl is the concubine of the eunuch Shi Cao Zheng, Cao Zixun." ”
Xia Nansheng politely arched his hand and said, "Miss Cao, it's polite." ”
Cao Zixun saw that Xia Nansheng really didn't seem to remember herself, so she hurriedly said, "Young Master Xia, at last year's Hundred Flowers Banquet, you still asked the little girl about the way, don't you remember?" ”
Yang Xiaotao on the side almost laughed out loud, and asked for the road once, Xia Nansheng didn't remember, it was normal, this girl remembered it so clearly, didn't she fall in love with Xia Nansheng at first sight.
The superintendent of the imperial history is to supervise the central and local officials, and the officials say that it is not big, but it is a fat difference.
Xia Nansheng really couldn't think of it, and shook his head at Cao Zixun in front of him.
Cao Zixun didn't care anymore, since she could meet Xia Gongzi in Anyu, it was destined that she and Xia Nansheng were fateful, and said with a smile, "This time Zixun returned to Anyu, just to celebrate the birthday of her grandmother who stayed in Anyu and raised her for a long time, and her father was busy with official business and couldn't come back, so she could only do it for Zixun." ”
After speaking, Cao Zixun's face turned slightly red and said, "I don't know, can Mr. Xia appreciate his face and come to his grandmother's birthday." ”
Xia Nansheng saw that Cao Zixun invited him to attend her grandmother's birthday banquet, and looked at Yang Xiaotao with some embarrassment.
Yang Xiaotao was inexplicably watched, the girl asked you, what do you watch me do.
However, Cao Zixun is a careful person, and when he saw Xia Nansheng looking at Yang Xiaotao, he smiled and said to Yang Xiaotao, "Naturally, if Xia Gongzi's friends can also come, Zixun is also very happy." ”
Yang Xiaotao just wanted to refuse, but Le'er on the side said sweetly, "Mother, Le'er is going too." ”
Le'er's words immediately stopped Yang Xiaotao's words of thanks, and smiled at Cao Zixun reluctantly.
Cao Zixun was a little hostile to Yang Xiaotao beside Xia Nansheng, but when she saw the little girl, she called the woman, she was relieved, it turned out to be a married woman, thinking so, the smile on her little face was even brighter, "Grandmother Zixun's birthday is tomorrow, can you tell Zixun where you live, and Zixun will send someone to invite you at that time." ”
Xia Nansheng thought that Yang Xiaotao also wanted to join in the fun, so he said, "Then I'll bother Miss Cao, just send someone to Shengxin Inn to find us." ”
I heard Cao Zixun say a few words again, but most of them were Cao Zixun talking to Xia Nansheng alone, and it didn't take long for Xia Nansheng to be afraid of Yang Xiaotao's impatience, so he said goodbye to Cao Zixun on the grounds that there was something.
After Xia Nansheng took Yang Xiaotao and them away.
The girl next to Cao Zixun, Xiao Jiu said with a disdainful face, "Miss, why do you want to invite them to the old lady's birthday." ”
Cao Zixun, who was originally full of smiles, had long since disappeared from the smile on his face at this time, and said lightly, "Do you know who that man is?" ”
Xiao Jiu looked puzzled and said, "Xiao Jiu didn't see it, that boy was handsome, but he was dressed ordinarily, and he didn't look like a high-ranking person." ”
Cao Zixun hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and muttered, "He is the prime minister, the only son." ”
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Jiu, who was disdainful, immediately opened his mouth in surprise and said, "Miss, the son of the prime minister, how can he appear in An Yu, shouldn't he be in the capital?" ”
Cao Zixun didn't answer, and the smile on her charming face was even more obvious.
Seeing this, Xiao Jiu immediately flattered, "It's because Mr. Xia has a relationship with Miss." ”
