Suddenly, one day, the Buddha came to the Sheng'an Monastery, and he was very happy to see that the incense was very prosperous here, and people came and went. As he was about to leave the temple, the Buddha inadvertently looked up and saw a spider on the beam. The Buddha stopped and asked the spider, 'You and I are finally destined to meet.' Let me ask you a question, what insight do you have after cultivating for more than a thousand years? ’”

The spider was very happy to meet the Buddha and hurriedly agreed. The Buddha asked, 'What is the most precious thing in the world?' The spider thought for a moment and replied, "The most precious things in the world are naturally 'unobserved' and 'lost.'" The Buddha nodded and left. ”

In this way, another thousand years have passed, and the spider is still cultivating on the beams of the Sheng'an Zen Temple, and its Buddha nature has greatly increased. One day, the Buddha came to the temple again and said to the spider, 'Are you okay, do you know anything more about that question from a thousand years ago?' The spider said, 'I think the most precious things in the world are 'not obtained' and 'lost.'" The Buddha said, 'Think about it again, and I will come to you again.'" ”

"Another thousand years passed, and one day a strong wind blew, and the wind blew a drop of nectar onto the spider's web. The spider looked at the nectar and saw that it was crystal clear, and suddenly felt pity. The spider is happy to look at the nectar every day, and it feels that these are the happiest days in three thousand years. Suddenly, another gust of wind blew the nectar away. The spider felt that she had lost something all of a sudden, and felt very lonely and sad. Then the Buddha came again and asked the spider, 'In the past thousand years, have you thought about this question: What is the most precious thing in the world?' The spider thought of the nectar and said to the Buddha, "The most precious things in the world are 'not obtained' and 'lost.'" The Buddha said, 'Well, since you have this understanding, I'll let you go to the world.' ’”

In this way, the spider was reincarnated into an official family and became a rich lady, and her parents named her Spider. In a flash, the spider reached the age of 16 and had become a graceful girl, very beautiful and moving. ”

On this day, the emperor decided to hold a celebration banquet for the new champion Lang Ganlu in the back garden. During the banquet, many young girls came, including Spider, and the emperor's little princess, Princess Changfeng. Zhuang Yuanlang performed poems and songs during the banquet, showing his talents, and all the girls present were impressed by him. But Spider was not nervous or jealous at all, because she knew that this was a marriage given to her by the Buddha. ”

"A few days later, it was a coincidence that when Spider accompanied her mother to worship the Buddha, it happened that Ganlu also accompanied her mother. After worshipping the Buddha after the incense, the two elders spoke on the side. Spider and Ganlu came to the corridor to chat, Spider was very happy and could finally be with the person she liked, but Ganlu did not show his affection for her. Spider said to Ganlu, 'Don't you remember what happened on the spider web in St. Anchan Monastery 16 years ago?' Ganlu was astonished and said, 'Spider, girl, you are beautiful and very pleasant, but your imagination is a little too rich.' So he and his mother left. ”

"Spider came home and thought, since the Buddha arranged this marriage, why didn't he let him remember it, why didn't Ganlu feel anything about me?"

A few days later, the emperor issued an edict ordering the new champion Ganlu and Princess Changfeng to get married, and Zhu'er and the prince Zhicao to get married. This news was like a thunderbolt in the sky for the spider, and she couldn't figure out how the Buddha would treat her like this. For a few days, she did not eat or drink, and after thinking about it urgently, her soul was about to come out of her shell, and her life was in danger. When the prince Zhicao found out, he hurried over, threw himself on the side of the bed, and said to the dying spider: 'That day, among the girls in the back garden, I fell in love with you at first sight, and I begged my father for him to agree. If you die, then I don't live either. So saying, he took up his sword and prepared to kill himself. ”

"At that moment, the Buddha came and said to the soul of the spider that was about to come out of its shell, 'Spider, have you ever wondered who brought the nectar (sweet deer) to you? It was brought by the wind (Princess Changfeng), and it was the wind that took it away in the end. Ganlu belongs to Princess Changfeng, and he is just an episode in your life. And the prince Zhicao is a small grass in front of the gate of Sheng'an Temple, he has seen you for 3,000 years, and has admired you for 3,000 years, but you have never lowered your head to look at it. Spider, let me ask you again, what is the most precious thing in the world? When the spider heard these truths, she seemed to have an enlightenment, and she said to the Buddha, "The most precious thing in the world is not 'not to be gained' and 'lost', but to be able to grasp the happiness of the present." As soon as he finished speaking, the Buddha left, and the soul of the spider also returned to its place, and when she opened her eyes, she saw the prince Zhicao who was about to kill herself, and she immediately knocked down the sword and hugged the prince deeply......

The story is not long, Duan Qingming finished telling it quickly, she looked at Du Qingluan, and said with a smile: "Mother, so, the most precious things in this world are not those that cannot be obtained, or are destined to be lost, but to grasp the happiness in front of you, isn't it?" ”

Du Qingluan stared at Duan Qingming for a long time, and she suddenly sighed slightly—Duan Qingming was a delicate woman. But it's just that such a woman will inevitably go through hardships and hardships. It seems that only her suffering can witness the incomprehensibility of the world.

All the words, Du Qingluan couldn't say it anymore. She just patted Duan Qingming's hand and said softly, "Qingming, I just hope you are doing it yourself...... Please also remember that your father and I will be on your side at all times. Moreover, no regrets! ”

Duan Qingming listened and said with a smile: "Qingming remembers!" ”

Of course she understood what Du Qingluan meant. But she understands better that in this world, everything that cannot be obtained or what has been lost is actually not worth cherishing, and the most cherished thing is the family members who are connected with you, and the people who give to you unconditionally, and even love you.

Therefore, she, Duan Qingming, will never grasp those ethereal things, and ignore her dearest relatives!

Duan Qingming and Du Qingluan sat in Chun Tao's house for a while, talked again, and then left together.

Chun Tao saw that the two were leaving, and felt a little reluctant for no reason. She looked at Duan Qingming and said, "Miss, don't forget the slave." When you have time, please call a girl to talk to the slave and maid! ”

Duan Qingming said with a smile: "If Aunt Chuntao is willing to call Qing Ming 'Qing Ming', Qing Ming will not only let the little girl accompany you, but if I am free, I will also come to accompany you!" ”

Chun Tao glanced at Du Qingluan. Du Qingluan turned his face away and pretended not to see it!

Chun Tao whispered: "That's it, when you are in front of people, I still call you the eldest lady, and when you are behind, I will call you by your name, how about it?" ”

Duan Qingming also quietly stretched out a finger and said softly: "Okay, deal!" ”

Seeing Duan Qingming standing up straight, Chun Tao suddenly smacked her lips and said, "Qingming, I heard that you are going to open a small kitchen tonight?" ”

Duan Qingming has always had a small kitchen, but she has never opened it, and the small kitchen has been empty, only hot porridge, and snacks and meals.

Now, Du Qingluan entered the door, and as soon as he could, he helped Duan Qingming reopen the small kitchen, and also allocated money, saying that Duan Qingming's body was originally weak, and it was really not suitable to ignore it like this. The little kitchen is open, and if she's hungry, she can cook something for herself!

In fact, as soon as this small kitchen opened, it attracted a little gluttonous worm - after Duan Yu tried Duan Qingming's craftsmanship, he always thought of a way to ask Duan Qingming to help her cook something to eat!

Once, Duan Qingming was in a hurry, and counted Duan Yu: "If you are greedy, you can also open a small kitchen...... How about moving my little kitchen to you? ”

When Duan Yu heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't ...... Let's not say that I don't have my sister's craftsmanship, and even if I do, I don't have time to do it......"

Duan Yu said, and squeezed Duan Qingming, and said: "Sister, you know, you have to read a book, but it takes a lot of energy, and when the strength is used up, it is necessary to supplement nutrition, and the food in the big kitchen is not as delicious as my sister's here...... Tell me what to do, okay? ”

Duan Qingming knew that Duan Yu was clearly blackmailing her. But what Duan Yu said was also the truth. In this big kitchen, the food of the whole house is in charge, even these young ladies and masters, they also have three meals a day, and they can't be moved, as a child who is growing up, nutrition is indeed not guaranteed.

Since then, Duan Qingming will think of ways to help Duan Yu cook something nutritious to eat. And every time Duan Yu, he has to give half to Duan Qingming, so now, thanks to Duan Yu's blessing, Duan Qingming has also grown some meat!

Hear the spring peach mention kitchenette. Duan Qingming was stunned, probably because he heard about cooking and eating just now, is this spring peach greedy?

Sure enough, Chun Tao showed a salivating expression, and begged Duan Qingming: "Okay Qingming, what are you cooking tonight, can you bring me some to taste?" ”

Du Qingluan, who was on the side, glanced at Chun Tao lightly. Chun Tao hurriedly said: "Miss, don't worry, this is not for nothing, as soon as the slave and maid get better, she will immediately help the eldest lady carry water and chop firewood, how about it?" ”

Duan Qingming laughed out loud all of a sudden: "Okay, you don't have to do this to carry water and chop wood." Well, Auntie, if you're well, you'll have time to talk with me! ”

Chun Tao blinked and said, "So, didn't I take advantage of you?" ”

Duan Qingming said with a smile: "Aunt Chuntao, it's not good to make a conclusion about this matter early, besides, don't be in a hurry to say anything about you losing and me winning now, because I'm afraid that when the time comes, I really don't know who is taking advantage of whom!" ”
