Shaohua followed the Ling family around the temple at first, but out of the lesson of the last time, she no longer ran out without permission. I'm afraid that I will meet human traffickers here again, but I may not be as lucky as last time.

But thinking of the old storyteller, Shaohua felt that she hadn't thanked him properly, although she had no intention of teasing him at first, but she still thought that if she had the opportunity, she would definitely thank him.

Hearing Ling's call, Shaohua followed behind Wanhua and ran over with a fart, inevitably having to be counted by Ling's for a while, what "the little lady doesn't know the rules outside, she always jumps". Shaohua stuck out his tongue at her back, making a grimace, so that Wanhua, who was a few steps behind, saw it, and slapped it with one hand, almost biting her tongue. The little novice on the side was looking at it seriously, and was amused by Shaohua's appearance, but was hit by the big monk next to him to burst chestnuts, and Shaohua laughed.

Following Ling Shi into the main hall, Wanhua took the monk and handed the incense, and sincerely kowtowed to the incense and made a wish. Because today it was specially for Wanhua to come out to worship the Buddha and ask for a signature, so Ling got up and said something to the monks.

I saw the monk standing on the side nodded, turned to leave, and then took a piece of red paper, a yellow talisman, and a pair of rosewood sticks with lotus patterns carved with lotus patterns. The monk took the red paper to each incense burner, dusted it and burned the incense sticks, shook off a little incense ash, and collected a small half bag of incense ashes. Holding the red paper in both hands, he patrolled each incense burner three more times, and finally buried the yellow talisman in the incense ash, carefully wrapped it and handed it to Ling.

Ling Shi took the incense ash bag with satisfaction, turned to and nodded to Wanhua, who was kneeling in front of the cattail, and Wanhua put her hands together to make a wish, and then threw the wooden grate forward.

The first time, the laughing cup, Wanhua frowned and made a wish again, and then threw it again.

The second time, it was still a laughing cup, and Ling looked a little anxious.

The third time, the angry cup, Ling looked at it and knelt down and kowtowed, Wanhua did not give up, and continued to make a wish.

The fourth time, still laughing.

Ling's face had changed greatly, and she panicked in her heart, and continued to kowtow again and again, it was the first time that she had been divined so many times that she could not be counted as a holy grail, and even the monk next to her who closed her eyes and knocked on the wooden fish secretly raised an eyelid.

Shaohua was a little uncomfortable by the fragrance in the hall, so he bent down and whispered to Ling, "Ah Niang, I want to go out for a while." However, the Ling clan was so focused on divination that they didn't pay attention to it at all. However, Shaohua was dizzy and dizzy, and he felt that if he didn't go out, he would faint here. So he pulled her sleeve without giving up, "Ah Niang, Ah Niang......"

"Go, go, don't shout here, don't you see that people are busy? Go and stay at the door, don't run around, or I'll catch you, and you'll die." "I can't tell the Holy Grail, and I can't even hear the sound of chanting in my ears.

Shaohua puffed out his face and muttered in a low voice: "Ah Niang, if you act in vain in front of the Buddha, the Buddha will be angry." Shaohua's words made Ling glared at her angrily, but after thinking about it, he felt that he had indeed committed a karma, so he hurriedly folded his hands, lowered his body, and whispered again and again: "The Buddha is gracious, the Buddha blesses." ”

Shaohua watched Ling kowtow nervously, his fat buttocks pouted high looked very funny, and he was about to say, "Your posture is not standard, and the Bodhisattva will ignore you." Suddenly, Ling Shi seemed to feel something, and immediately threw two eye knives, she immediately closed her mouth and shook her head. "Come here, kneel!"

"Do I want it too?" Shaohua wrinkled his face aggrievedly, and was glared at by the Ling family, so he had to endure the discomfort and obediently walked back and knelt. Looking up at the two-storey Buddha statue, in addition to the sound of wooden fish and chanting, most of them are the chattering wishes of pilgrims. I couldn't help but lament in my heart: the Buddha listened to so many people making wishes every day, one by one, and he didn't know how long it would take for their turn.

Listening to the conversation between Ling and Shaohua, Wanhua had some epiphany in his heart, put down the wooden note, and continued to make a vow.

"O Buddha of great compassion, if you are really so effective, then let me meet Yan Kaizhi again. As long as you can see him, even if it costs a little. Shaohua knelt bored, and then folded his hands and silently made a wish. Ling didn't know what she was thinking, he just looked at her and nodded with satisfaction.

Just waiting for Shaohua's wish to be made, there was a crisp sound, and then Ling and Wanhua were relieved. thanked the Buddha again and again, and even kowtowed three times, and Shaohua knew that Wanhua had finally made a holy grail.

The monk standing on the side looked at it, and the expression on his face was also relaxed, and he said the Buddha name, and took the wooden note handed back by Wanhua with both hands. Then a small novice brought a small oil pot, and Ling Shi motioned to Wanhua to add lamps by himself, and asked all the oil lamps in the hall to be added, which was the final completion.

However, Shaohua couldn't wait to run out of the hall, and leaned on the stone fence at the entrance of the hall, only feeling that he was not a believer in Buddhism.

After waiting for a while, Wanhua took Ling's hand and walked out of the main hall, both of them with happy smiles on their faces. Shaohua leaned in curiously, "Third sister, what wish did you just make?" How the Buddha was always unhappy. ”

Ling Shi glanced at her, and Shaohua closed her mouth a little unhappily, she was just curious about what Wanhua had to make the Buddha unhappy, so that she would not make wishes and talk nonsense in the future. Wanhua didn't plan to tell her, so the mother and daughter walked back to the carriage with each other, and the other maids and daughters also followed into the carriage behind.

After the car staggered out of the road for a long time, Ling suddenly took out a bag of things from his arms and opened the handkerchief, which was a red paper incense ash bag that had just been wrapped by the monk.

"Sanniang, you keep this, and keep it for the day of marriage." Wanhua took it, blushed and nodded. Just as he was about to put it away, Shaohua leaned over and wanted to take a look. "Auntie, what is this?"

Ling quickly reached out and patted her troubled paws away, Wanhua looked shy and embarrassed when asked, and Ling said angrily: "Go and go, you are still young, don't ask if you have any." ”

Shaohua couldn't get used to their mysterious appearance, and the more she didn't want her to know, the more curious she became. "Auntie, I'm not young anymore, I want to get married in the future, just tell me."

Wanhua was still speechless, "Why are you not ashamed!" ”

Shaohua tilted his head, "What do you have to know sooner or later, what's the use of being ashamed." ”

Ling ignored the sisters' bickering, and continued: "Sanniang, you must remember to put it away and hide it closely, this can't be mistaken. Wait for enough days by your side, and when the time comes, help your aunt sew it in a hat, or in a belt, in short, it will be close to the body. Forget it, I'll talk to you about this on the day you get married. ”

"It's just a bag of incense ash." Shaohua's eyes were quick, and he took the sachet with his hand, which frightened Wanhua into a sluggish face.

Ling Shi hurriedly said: "Bring it quickly, and when you get married in the future, I will tell you again." This is your sister's, don't spoil her blessings. If you know that the charm is close, you will be able to keep your sister, brother-in-law, husband and wife love until you grow old. ”

"A-Niang, don't talk to Wu Niang about this." Wanhua sneered.

Ling Shi looked in a good mood, "In a short time, as soon as they return to Beijing, it will be time to prepare for your marriage." However, maybe your second brother's family affair will be booked earlier. However, it's better to book early, and then you will have an extra sister-in-law to put on your makeup. ”

"Auntie, I don't lack this." When Wanhua thought of Zhou Yan, she felt a little uncomfortable.

"Silly girl, this is not lacking, this is a blessing! If you don't have a brother or sister-in-law, you have to ask your cousins and cousins to put on makeup, so that you are not afraid of being bullied when you get to your in-law's house. Ling touched Wanhua's head, the daughter he raised was about to get married, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"A-Niang, didn't Mrs. Zhongyi come to see each other, why did you say that it was settled?" Shaohua was curious.

Although this must be a matter of time or time, she didn't see that Zhou Yan and Li Sinian were not a good match, but she also felt that it was faster.

"It's not fast, Mrs. Zhou and I asked several times, at first I also felt strange, our family and the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion are also world friends, and Yan Niang is not the first time to come to our house, why did she suddenly fall in love with Erlang at this time. Thinking about it later, maybe it was because Yanniang was still young before, and Erlang was not often at home, so I hadn't seen it much. Now Erlang is in his prime and has a bright future, and he is not unworthy of Yanniang, so he has only talked to her a few times. When Ling talked about Zhou Yan and Li Sinian, her face was quite honorable, as if she had personally held this happy event.

"I told her a lot of things about Erlang, and the more she listened, the more funny she became. Later, I found out that it was Yanniang who took a fancy to her, and she grinded Mrs. Zhou at home for a long time before she was moved. ”

"That's really good-looking, great!" Shaohua clapped his hands and laughed, pretending that he was also unaware, ignoring Wanhua's complaining eyes.

"No, I also asked your third aunt's opinion, and she said that she was very satisfied. I think, of course she is satisfied, this is a good family that can't be found with a lantern, and the lady of the Hou Mansion who is a serious concubine is much better than the lady who is not a Hou in the morning. "Ling's words can't help but step on others." I just didn't expect that I would be in-law with Zhongyihou, this year is really a good thing. ”

Wanhua had a faint expression on her face, she couldn't say she was happy or unhappy, she just looked at the embroidery on her clothes. Shaohua was afraid that Wanhua would have to fight with her again, so he hurriedly found something else to distract.

Listening to the silence outside the car, I couldn't help the doubts in my heart, secretly lifted the curtain, and poked my head out to look.

I saw the carriage walking in a lush wood, and there were few ruts on the ground, and it was obvious that there were not many people walking on this road. She turned her head and looked back, but she didn't see the carriage with the maid coming up. I felt a little inexplicably panicked, frowned, and shouted at the top of my throat: "Stop, stop!" Don't go. ”

"What's wrong with you?" Wanhua was a little displeased.

Shaohua didn't pay attention, and found that the carriage kept moving forward, and no one answered her at all, and her heart became even more frightened. "It's not the right way! Uncle Zhang, this road is not back to Beijing, right? Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhang! ”

Ling Shi was so shocked by her, his whole body seemed to be pricked by needles, and goosebumps stood up all over his body. In order to calm his emotions, he shouted to Shaohua: "What are you shouting, can't you live in peace?" But he moved over, lifted the curtain, and sure enough, he found that the scenery outside was not right.

Unlike the Shaohua sisters, she doesn't go out of Beijing much, and this road has to go back and forth at least once a year.

But every time it is the official road, because the incense of Guoan Temple is prosperous, so there will be no shortage of post stations and passers-by along the way. It's just that they chatted all the way, so they didn't pay much attention. Now that I find that the carriage is not walking on the road I am familiar with, how can I not beat the drum in my heart.

"Lao Zhang, what the hell is going on, how did you catch the car, hurry back!" Jiang is still old and spicy in the end, and Ling's calm tone makes people feel majestic.
