Chapter 202: Life is Impermanent
There was a slight call from the house, and the old marquis and I hurried over.
The old lady was already awake and struggling to get up, but the mother-in-law quickly helped her up and stuffed a cushion behind her to make her more comfortable.
"Pour Mu ......," she called and reached out to detain her.
I hurried over, took her hand and said, "Old lady, you're here." ”
"It's good to be here, it......'s good to be here," she smiled lovingly, and said to the mother-in-law next to her, "Go and bring the newly made long-term lotus cake, pour the girl, I like to eat lotus cake the most." ”
After speaking, she patted my hand and said, "Dumping girl, I picked a new lotus dew today, and the pastries are very fresh." ”
On these nine cold days, where will there be lotus dew to pick ......
I was surprised, but I saw the mother-in-law next to me shaking her head slightly, and then brought a plate of pine nut cake.
The old lady happily picked up a piece and put it in my hand, "Come, pour the girl, eat a piece of lotus cake, your favorite." ”
The pastry in the palm of my hand is beautifully made, but it seems to be heavier than a thousand gold.
I raised my head, she was smiling, the corners of her mouth were upturned, the wrinkles on her face were gathered together, and a pair of black eyes that were originally bright and bright were very muddy at this time.
She......
I was a little choked, so I brought the pine nut to my lips and ate it all bite by bite.
The old lady smiled and ordered, "After a while, wrap this cake and take it away for the girl." Look at this girl's thinness, how can she grow taller if she doesn't eat much. ”
She remembered something again, "By the way, what about Yun Chang's stinky boy?" ”
The mother-in-law next to her hurriedly said, "Back to the old lady, the little master has gone out, and he will come back later." ”
The old lady nodded, then took my hand and said, "Tilt Mu girl, you sit for a while, Yun Chang's stinky boy, he will be back in a while, and I will let him send you back to the house later." ”
I groaned and cooperated, "Still don't need to, pour out and go back by yourself in a while." ”
"That's not good, you didn't take the carriage, you need someone to send you, you wait, Yun Chang will be back in a while..."
Didn't ride in a carriage......
It turned out that she regarded the present as a child......
My nose was a little sore, and I didn't know what to say for a while, so she just smiled, clapping my hands, while chanting some inconsequential words, and after reading for a while, she seemed to be tired, so she said to me, "Tilt Mu girl, you are in the Blue Pavilion, but have you read Buddhist scriptures?" ”
Although Qinglan Pavilion did not teach the Buddhist Sutra, my mother used to like to worship the Buddha, and the simpler ones, such as the Donkey Kong Sutra, were also familiar with them.
I said, "Yes, I did." ”
"Oh?" The old lady was happy, "Pour Mu girl, you read a Mahayana authentic chapter to listen to it, okay?" ”
"Okay." I nodded.
Whispering, "The Buddha told Subodhi, all the Bodhisattvas Mahasattva." It should be like this to subdue its mind, all sentient beings and so on.
If oviparous, if viviparous, if wet, if metaplasia. If there is color, if there is no color, if there is thought, if there is no thought. If you don't think about it, you don't think about it. I have caused it to enter into nirvana and perish. In this way, the extinction is immeasurable, and countless boundless beings. There are no sentient beings who have attained extinction. Why ......?"
If you want to think about it, if you don't think about it, old lady, is that what it is......
I thought about it shallowly, and the old lady seemed to like it very much, first smiling slightly, and slowly, she actually narrowed her eyes, tilted her head and fell asleep.
I said a few more words, and her breathing was much smoother. The mother-in-law hurriedly helped her to lie down, and I got up and turned around, and the old marquis was standing behind me.
He smiled slightly and said lightly, "This situation, it's been a few days, and the county lord shouldn't be surprised." ”
I bowed my head and said, "Where did the Hou Ye say, the old lady has been good to Dumping Mu since he was a child, but he doesn't know him anymore, and he still thinks about Dumping Mu." It's too late to be grateful, so there's no surprise. ”
The old marquis nodded, but he didn't speak. I sat on the edge of the couch and looked at the old lady for a while, and when I saw that she seemed to be asleep, I got up and said goodbye.
The old marquis insisted on sending me out of the house, and I got on the horse and walked two steps, and he suddenly called me, saying that the old lady liked me very much, and asked me to come and see more if I had nothing to do......
I was very depressed in my heart, although I also knew that birth, old age, sickness and death were all kinds of situations, but I still couldn't accept that the old lady was about to ...... Message that is about to leave.
When did I become so sentimental......
I was supposed to go back to the county lord's mansion, but for no reason, I actually remembered the old housekeeper of the general's mansion again. After thinking about it, after all, it was a horse fight and went to the general's mansion.
Su Tianhua got married, and the brocade red of the General's Mansion had been replaced, and I looked at the two big lions in front of the door, and then I realized that in fact, the lion was not majestic.
Su Hong and Wu Wanhua were not in the house, and the third lady took Su Tianliu to the temple to offer incense and had not come back, and the old housekeeper knew that I was coming, so he quickly led everyone over to greet him.
I hurriedly stepped forward to help him, "Uncle butler doesn't have to be polite, just come back and see." ”
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back." I hadn't seen him for a few days, and when he saw me come back, he was in tears.
Also, all these years, when I had nothing to do, where did I go back to the General's Mansion......
"County Lord, it's cold outside, let's get into the house quickly." He beckoned.
"Okay." Answered, and then went to the chapel with him, he asked people to get dried fruits for a while, and let people change new tea for a while, and he was very busy.
I knew that even if I stopped, he would still do it, so I ate a little of the pastry and dried fruit he had taken, and he seemed very happy, and asked the kitchen to prepare the meal.
It was a bit too much trouble, and I just refused. He answered, and stood aside.
I smiled slightly, "Uncle housekeeper, talk to me, okay?" ”
"Hey, hey." He responded.
I motioned for him to sit down, he hesitated for a moment, but still sat down, "County Lord, what do you want to hear, the old slave said to the County Lord." ”
Actually, I didn't know what to say, so I said, "Uncle Butler, how long have you been in this General's Mansion?" ”
He thought for a moment, "It's been fifty years." ”
"Fifty years is a long time."
He smiled innocently, "It's not long, the days pass very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it's over." When I first followed the old general, yo, the old general was very handsome. ”
I smiled and asked, "To what extent?" ”
The old butler thought about it very seriously and replied, "Specifically, it can't be compared, so the county lord waits, and the old slave goes to get a portrait." ”
He got up and walked out quickly, and after a while, he came back with a scroll. He found a well-lit place and slowly unfolded the scroll.
This is a picture of a bent bow and a horse with excellent painting.
The person in the painting is wearing blue-shouldered armor, wearing a red hat of the same color, holding a horse bridle in one hand and a spear in the other.
The old housekeeper said, "County Lord, this is when the old general can be young, you see, is it very handsome." ”
I nodded.
But he is very handsome, not only handsome, but also has his own heroic spirit. Looking at it this way, Su Hong is not very much like Su Huo, but Su Qianmu's father, who inherited all the heroism of Su Huo's youth.
The old housekeeper also seemed to think of Su Qianmu's father, rolled up the scroll, and sighed, "Second young master, most like an old general, like a temper, like a strategy, and more like a heroic spirit." It's a pity that he is missing, and if he is here, he will definitely have a family business by now. ”
I was silent for a while, and then said, "Uncle Butler, tell me about my father." ”
He seemed to like this topic a lot, put the scroll on the table, and said slowly, "Your father was very naughty when he was a child, and the old general's newly made dress, he thought the embroidery on it was beautiful, so he ran in the middle of the night and cut off the embroidery with scissors......
The old general's new wine, he spilled it, if it was mixed with some water, he actually poured half a jar of yellow urine into the wine jar. The old general didn't taste it for the first time, but it took a few more sips to understand, and when he came back, he used the family method, and it took half a month for his back to be bruised. ”
I kind of want to laugh.
I heard him continue, "There are too many things like this, but ah, it was only when I was a child, and when I grew up, I became much calmer, especially after marrying your mother, I was even more calm, and later the old general also mentioned this, saying that it was because your mother was gentle and overcame rigidity with softness." ”
I asked, "Did he and his mother ever quarrel?" ”
The old housekeeper said, "The two of them are as good as one person, how can they quarrel." Especially when your mother has you, she has more problems coughing up blood, and your father is even more afraid of making her angry. ”
Coughing up blood?
Something raced through my mind.
