Chapter 7: The Red Gardenia Full of Branches (2)
In the winter of November, because I remembered that the Queen Mother had asked for a son for me in Longju Temple that day, I took Bao Yuan to take me to repay my vows. Bao Yuan didn't allow it, but after Zhao Lingxuan came to see him, he said that I was three months pregnant, and the fetus was very good, so I could go out and walk around.
Since I am pregnant, from the Queen Mother, Bao Yuan, down to Zhiqiu, Ming'er and Grandpa Zeng, as well as Jingyi and Jinyan all day long, don't let this, don't let that, I just hate that I can't sit and lie down every day, just eat and drink.
In this way, people are a lot richer, but they also feel that there is less activity, and people are getting more and more tired, groggy all day long, and have no energy.
This matter was reported to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother also agreed, and said to me: "That day for Rui'er to ask for a son, I predicted that the Zen master would also be able to get his wish to mourn the family, and now it is really as he wished, and I wish to thank the Bodhisattva for blessings is a must." ”
Prophetic Zen Master? I smiled slightly, and when I talked about this master, there was a story in the middle.
Chengdu is hot in summer, and more than 60 miles away from Chengdu Mansion, there is an ancient temple, called Waiting, the mountain is uplifted, not as unobstructed as the plain, but the mountain is gentle, easy to climb, and the surrounding peaks also lose the majestic posture. The ancient trees in the mountains are towering, exceptionally clean and elegant, and it is a good place to escape the heat.
The Queen Mother believes in Buddhism, and the Waiting Temple in this mountain is said to be a dojo created by the Eight Ancestors of Zen Buddhism, the Zen Master Matsu Dao, so the Queen Mother will live here for several months after entering the summer.
After I entered the palace, I also went to Baoyuan a few times, because I like the quiet there, so Baoyuan set it as a summer hotel, and every year I have to take me with the Queen Mother to live for a few days. Because Baoyuan set this place as the summer pavilion, it was changed to Longju Temple.
The Zen master of the Water View of the Waiting Temple was a strange person, he could have known that we were going to spend the summer a month ago, and he had made sufficient preparations in advance, and he was able to go to the mountain gate to greet us when we were going, and he never fell short. For this reason, Bao Yuan gave the Zen master the Dharma name "foreknowledge".
The Queen Mother doesn't mention it, when it comes to the prophetic Zen master, I really want to see him in person and ask me about the child in my womb. Therefore, after returning to the Changchun Palace, he asked Ming'er to prepare tribute things, so that he would go to Longju Temple with me tomorrow to make a vow.
The next day, Bao Yuan and I went to Longju Temple to worship the Buddha and make a vow.
The weather in early winter is not too cold, and it coincides with good weather, and the clear sky makes the mood of people who go out extraordinarily cheerful. Along the way, I rode with Bao Yuan, talking and laughing, and arrived at Longju Temple in a short time.
When he arrived at the mountain gate, he saw the prophetic Zen master, standing there waiting in a dusty posture.
Bao Yuan stepped forward to inquire with a smile, and the Zen master recited the Buddha's name to return the salute, and I also asked the Zen master Heshi.
The Zen master led the way and took me to the main hall to worship the Buddha with incense, and then to the guest hall to drink tea and talk.
When I asked the Zen master about the child in his womb, the master was silent at first, and then smiled slightly: "Amitabha, the Buddha said 'if it is cause and effect', everything in the world has a cause and must have an effect, and now Niangniang is pregnant with a dragon, so she has that fate, and she can rest assured." The world is impermanent, good and bad are just a momentary phase, if you talk from the depths, how can there be a difference between good and evil, but the cause is ripe. ”
The master's words are plausible, and people are confused, but since the master said that I have a relationship with the child, then there should be no problem.
"Amitabha, follow the good wishes of the Niangniang." I laughed and said that the master was too serious, but the master said, "Don't miss the cause and effect." I smiled in my heart and sighed that my family was too pedantic.
After sitting for a long time, I felt a little uncomfortable in my waist, so I told Bao Yuan that I wanted to go out for a walk, and Bao Yuan still wanted to talk to the master, so I told Zhiqiu and Ming'er to help me.
Wandering around in the temple, walking to the side of the mountain path behind the temple, I suddenly remembered that in modern times, there was an old ginkgo tree here, when I came to this Longju Temple to play, I heard that the tree was planted by Mrs. Hua Rui herself, and now I don't see any ginkgo tree. Suddenly, I really wanted to plant one by myself, and it was so interesting to think that there would be such a towering ancient tree planted for me thousands of years later.
But I'm pregnant now, Bao Yuan will not allow me to plant a tree, and there must be a reason for this kind of tree, I can't say that I want to see it myself in a thousand years! After thinking about it, I felt that it should be feasible to tell Bao Yuan to plant for blessings.
Unexpectedly, when he said to Bao Yuanyi in the guest hall, he actually agreed, and said: "Plant two plants today, and next year when Rui'er gives birth to a child, our family of three will plant another plant, and in the future, Rui'er will give birth to a child, and we will come here to plant a ginkgo." Ginkgo biloba is prolific ginkgo seeds, which can be used both edibly and medicinally, and can be regarded as benefiting the people and accumulating blessings for our children. ”
I listened with joy and nodded my head in agreement.
Baoyuan insisted on planting it with his own hands, but he didn't allow me to do it, just let me water a few scoops of water after planting.
Watching Bao Yuan plant the tree with his own hands, he couldn't intervene himself, and he was bored and looked around, but he saw an extremely familiar cyan figure in a flash, on the corridor of the side hall.
Why does that figure look like Zhang Jizhao? No, he's dead, how can he be here? It's not that I'm dazzled. Outside the Huanhua Xiaozhu that day, I seemed to see him as well.
I rubbed my eyes and looked again, where are there any figures, it can't be hell, right? Thinking of this, I only felt that my heart was beating hard, could it be that Zhang Jizhao's ghost came here with me, or his soul came here. Could it be that after his death, his soul was restless, he refused to be reincarnated, and he followed me all the time!
The more I think about it, the more uneasy I feel, no, I have to ask the Zen master how to surpass such a dead soul.
"Meng Lang, I'm a little tired from standing, and I want to go back to the guest hall to rest first." I said to Bao Yuan.
"Oh, let's go, I'll look for you when I'm done here." Bao Yuan turned around and told Ming'er and Zhiqiu Haosheng to help me go to the guest hall to rest.
After I arrived at the guest hall, I asked Zhiqiu to invite the Prophetic Zen Master.
After a short time, when the Zen master arrived, I said to him, "Master, I have a deceased deceased person, and I have seen his visions a lot lately, I don't know how to deal with this?" ”
"Hui Niangniang, you only need to enshrine the tablet of your deceased in the temple and chant the scriptures for its excess."
"Then Master Lao will worship Chaodu on my behalf."
"I don't know what the old woman's surname is? Do you know the birthday? The master asked calmly.
"The surname is Zhang, and the name is Jizhao." I replied in a low voice.
"Oh." After a little silence, the master said to me, "If the old man is not mistaken, there is already a benefactor who has set up a tablet for the deceased. ”
"How?" I was shocked.
"If you don't believe it, you can follow the old man to the Jizo Hall to have a look."
I followed the prophetic Zen master to the Dedizang Temple, and I did see Zhang Jizhao's name on the wall, and the time when the tablet was erected was just the seventh day after he committed suicide.
Who did this? I looked at the Zen master and said, "Dare to ask the master, can you tell me who erected the tablet for my old man." ”
"It's a girl, but the name of the old man didn't ask."
Girl? Who could it be? Could it be a begonia? Probably not, I shook my head, it won't be a begonia. Is it Lee Yun-young? Well, it should be Li Yunying.
Thinking of this, I looked up and looked at the name written on the yellow paper, and I couldn't help but feel sad for a while, although I had no intention of him, but his feelings for me were sincere, and his death was more or less because of me, how could I not be sad!
Thinking of this, I burst into tears.
"Who? Who's out there. Ming'er exclaimed.
"What's wrong?"
"Mother, someone is peeping outside the window just now." Ming'er replied, walked into me and said, "Sister, let's go back to the guest hall quickly, if the emperor doesn't see my sister when he goes back, he must ask......"
"Well, let's go back!" Looking up at the name on the wall again, a sigh could not be concealed from his chest.
