Chapter 37: Old Jiang Ji (II)
Entering the house, the door is closed after the bamboo mat.
The more inward you go, the more frightening you are.
The eldest grandmother clearly felt her legs trembling in her skirt, and the beeswax held the medicine that the old lady had just given her with one hand and held her with the other.
Zhu'er was shocked that the eldest grandmother's face was wrong, and stopped half a step slightly, and said to her, "What's wrong with grandma?" ”
The eldest grandmother spelled out a slight smile, shook her head and said, "I think the cold from falling into the water has not been cleaned, and this time it will be up again." ”
When the old lady heard this, she turned around and said, "In this case, Zhu'er, you lead your grandmother to the next room to sit for a while, and I will go in and finish the guests, and then go out together!" ”
It's a very light talk, and the big grandmother is amnesty.
In this way, Zhu'er took the eldest grandmother to another room. As soon as he entered, he didn't stand firm, when he heard an old lady speak from next door: "Let the fairy girl wait for a long time." ”
At that moment, Zhu'er motioned for the grandmother to be quiet, and then she walked out on her own and went to the old lady's side to serve.
Beeswax didn't know the situation, so he came to support the eldest grandmother and persuaded her to sit down: "Grandma is uncomfortable, sit down for a while!" ”
The eldest grandmother waved her hand, meaning that she didn't have to, and listened to what the next door was saying.
At that moment, I heard the old lady say: "My house is not well entertained, please forgive the fairy aunt." ”
When the grandmother heard this, her heart beat in her chest. Because I couldn't see the scene next door, I was even more uneasy. So, look for a gap in the closet door so that you can see clearly. Sure enough, when she found a gap and looked carefully, she saw several people in the room, the old lady sitting on the chair in the hall, and the two nuns standing below.
The old lady looked polite and said, "Fairy Gu doesn't have to be restrained, please sit down!" ”
Zhu'er also reached out to invite. In the blink of an eye, I saw the nun sitting down, and another nun standing on the side.
The one who sat was the pure light.
Zhu'er said to the old lady with a smile: "Old lady, do you want to invite tea?" ”
The old lady didn't reply, just stared at the food on the table and shook her head. Yes, the food on the table is still untouched. It was the old lady who ordered it to be brought to them. Just now, Ju'er went to Shouzhongju to reply, dodging the big grandmother, presumably because of this matter.
Therefore, the old lady said: "Does the fairy aunt think that the food in our house is not as delicious as your Xianyuan Nunnery?" I didn't even eat a bite! ”
Pure Light said: "Sin." Please old lady for the sake of the Bodhisattva, let's go back! After coming out for a few days, we didn't see us back in the nunnery, so I'm afraid I'm worried! ”
The old lady smiled and said, "What are you worried about?" The four major monks are empty, and they should be cultivated. Without you, the nunnery can't live? It can be seen that they are not sincere to face the Buddha, they have ties in their hearts, and the four major ones are empty, and they are empty talk. ”
Chunguang's face was embarrassed, he raised his hand, clasped his palms and saluted, which meant to cover up.
The old lady snorted slightly and said, "I believe in the Dharma, and I can believe it, but if I don't believe in that, I don't believe it." Our ancestors have had their own gods and Buddhas for generations. In previous years, I was willing to give up sesame oil to your nunnery, mostly for the sake of the face of the old man in the past, but now that the old man is gone, there are some words, I don't hurt to say it to your face. At this point, I will not go to your Xianyuan Nunnery. But think about it again, after so many years, it has been broken for a while, and you will inevitably think that our Zhuang Mansion is ruthless and weak. ”
Chunguang said: "It's the old lady who thinks a lot. How can we, as monks, speculate on the beliefs of others? My Buddhist believers, with good life and accumulation of virtue as a good foundation, and those who have good thoughts are all the same door. ”
The old lady said: "If you have the Dharma in mind and have good thoughts about the roots, you may not be a true person." But it doesn't matter, the likes and dislikes of the world may not be all good and true, and all evil people are evil. ”
Pure light nodded and should not be refuted.
Seeing that she was silent, the old lady said again: "The women in my house don't understand Buddhism, so I advocate sending good letters to your Xianyuan Nunnery, and you will help pray day and night." That's what I really wanted to do. Who knows, when you hear the call, you come. In the first few days, I thought, most of them were fake fairy girls, and in the next few days, it seemed that you were really from that place. Originally, I was a little annoyed, and I wanted people to mention you to the officials, and I thought that the people of Buddhism all advocate good deeds, so why should I create evil out of thin air? Therefore, now I think, by mistake, it is better to let the fairy Gu stay in the house, I arranged this secluded place, let the fairy Gu as a Dharma nunnery, pray for my house day and night, begging for everything to go well. ”
Chunguang hurriedly said: "The old lady has a heart, according to the previous sesame oil with our Xianyuan Nunnery, the most pious." ”
The old lady waved her hand and smiled: "At this time and that time, I think this is very good. ”
Chunguang got up and pleaded: "It's all because the old lady doesn't understand the old lady's family law and walks around." How offensive, please forgive the old lady. ”
As he spoke, Chunguang ignored his face and identity, knelt down and kowtowed to the old lady.
At this point, the old lady's eyes were full of disdain, and she said with a smile: "The fairy girl doesn't have to give a big gift, she will break my life." Hurry up, please. ”
The little nun Pudu Fu Chunguang got up.
Chunguang said: "Ask the old lady to let us go back!" ”
The old lady pretended to be annoyed and said, "Why did the fairy aunt say this? Could it be that our Zhuangfu Temple is small and dilapidated, and the fairy aunt is unwilling to come and stay? ”
The pure light stuffy head has eaten a stick, which is really a dumb loss.
The old lady smiled: "I originally thought that the people of Buddhism are all kind and virtuous. Just now, the fairy aunt also mentioned this. Alas, since Xian Gu said so, no wonder I thought of Xian Gu as an imposter before! ”
After hearing this, Chunguang put on his face nervously and said quickly: "The old lady forgives her sins." Blame the Bianni for losing her words. ”
The old lady still refused to let go, and said, "Then would you like to stay and pray for me?" Without waiting for Chunguang to respond, he smiled at Zhu'er and said, "Go out today, you send someone to renovate this house, and there should be Buddha statues, niches, cages, and incense burners, and there are no less ones." Add it clearly. All of them must be draped in gold, and everything is like that of the fairy hermitage. ”
Zhu'er happily agreed.
The old lady said to Chunguang again: "So, are you satisfied?" ”
The pure light has no power to return the favor, and the sigh is combined, which can be regarded as an answer.
The old lady stood up in support and said, "Since that is the case, we will decide." In the future, the labor fairy girl offered to the Buddha day and night, praying for my peace. If you don't worry about Xianyuanan, I will send someone to convey it for you. After today, I think you will stay in my house for a few more days, and in the nunnery, do you have a candidate to act as the head of the house? Recommend one and I'll let people pass the word. Or if you want to write a letter, I can have someone send it and convey it. ”
Pure light was surprised, and secretly regretted that he shouldn't have come to Zhuangfu.
Now, Chunguang can only agree: "Mrs. Xie carries love." But he thought deeply in his heart, and when he found an opportunity, he would leave the village quickly. Because, I saw an old man in the fence bamboo garden, and the old man had a vendetta with him in the Xianyuan Nunnery, and he was afraid of revenge.
The old lady was very satisfied, held Zhu'er's hand, and said, "Then let's go back!" We prepared what should be prepared, and let the fairy Gu eat a meal with peace of mind. If you don't have the strength to knock on the wooden fish, how can you ask the gods and Buddhas to bless you? ”
This made Junguang's face flush when he said this.
Zhu'er thought that the old lady was really leaving, so she reminded: "Grandma is still over there." ”
The old lady woke up and said, "I forgot, please come quickly." ”
Next door.
When the grandmother heard this, she was already thrilled, and when she heard that the old lady was going to invite herself over to face the pure light, she didn't know how much panic she had.
Zhu'er listened to the old lady's instructions, came over after a while, and said to the eldest grandmother, "The old lady invites grandma." ”
The big grandmother is not easy to push, so she can only go.
When I got to the next room, the eldest grandmother walked in, for fear that Chunguang would recognize her at a glance.
When Chunguang saw a bejeweled beauty, she naturally didn't dare to look at it directly, and she also hooked her head and palmed her hands together.
The eldest grandmother saluted and stood still.
The old lady came over, took the grandmother's hand, and introduced, "This is my granddaughter-in-law in the long house." ”
Pure light glanced up slightly. The grandmother's head was hooked lower, and her face was red.
In order not to be rude, the eldest grandmother greeted slightly: "Master is polite." ”
This voice, this face, is not what Huiyan looked like in Xianyuanan that day? Pure Light was secretly surprised in his heart, how could there be such a similar person in the world.
I can't help it, pure light is obsessed with grandma.
When the old lady saw this, she said, "Then let's go back first!" ”
The eldest grandmother quickly went to support the old lady, and Zhu'er was also helping on the side. Walking out of the house, the pure light also chased two steps, staring at it reluctantly.
Out of the courtyard, the old lady motioned to Zhu'er to lock the door.
After seeing the lock, the eldest grandmother couldn't hold back her mood, and she couldn't move anymore, so she knelt down in front of the old lady with a "plop".
The old lady was surprised, helped her up again and again, and said, "My body is so weak, I think let's go back and rest quickly!" Bamboo, help it up. ”
Bamboo and Beeswax were on one side and helped the grandmother up.
A few people walked outside Shouzhongju.
On the road.
The old lady smiled and said, "What do you think of this nun?" ”
This is obviously said to the eldest grandmother.
The eldest grandmother was stunned for a moment, and when she saw that Zhu'er didn't reply, she replied carefully: "People are kind." Did the old lady leave that fairy girl in the house? ”
The old lady said: "If you don't keep it, do you want her to go out and spread the word that there is a big grandmother who has fallen into the water in our house?" ”
As she spoke, the old lady stopped and looked at the grandmother deeply, as if she had something to say. After a pause, the old lady wanted to speak and stopped, but she didn't say anything after all.
The eldest grandmother couldn't feel it, and her eyes were confused.
When she was about to arrive outside the Shouzhong Residence, the old lady said again: "I think you should understand what I mean." The two nuns were left to pray in the house to keep the family safe. You are the granddaughter-in-law of the long house, you need to know about such things. However, I will let you see you today, and you don't have to make a show when you go back. Do you know what I mean? ”
The eldest grandmother replied: "The granddaughter-in-law remembers." ”
The old lady nodded happily.
These conversations seem to be bland, but how can the grandmother not know the old lady's mind? Isn't protecting the family house just protecting the house? Let yourself see the pure light, this chess piece, only people like the old lady dare to do it. She let the eldest grandmother meet Chunguang head-on, just to let Chunguang know that this is the grandmother of Zhuangfu, not the old person of her Xianyuan Nunnery; also reassured the eldest grandmother that she had already taken action to rectify such old things. For the rest, the grandmother needs to be at ease and calm down. Isn't this what the old lady wants to express in these words and actions?
Go to the porch of Shouzhongju Gate.
The eldest grandmother was about to say goodbye, when she suddenly saw a few people walking in the courtyard, they were Yu Qi, Zisu and Sanxi.
When the old lady saw it, she smiled and said, "I just walked with your sister-in-law, and I went to relax, why did you come too." ”
Yu Qi walked quickly, looked at the grandmother with puzzled eyes, and then smiled and said to the old lady: "Sister Zhu'er just came to invite, I was going to come with me." But Sister Zhu'er said that the old lady wanted to say something to her sister-in-law, for fear that I would not listen well. ”
The old lady frowned, smiled at Zhu'er, and said, "This girl is the best at bluffing, she feels sorry for you to accompany me day and night." I really want you to rest for a while, so that your sister-in-law can do it for you. You can see her heart. ”
Therefore, Yu Qi thanked Zhu'er for his bow.
Zhu'er returned the salute and said, "It's all because I don't know how to speak." ”
A little more polite, the eldest grandmother said goodbye, and so far she didn't look at or talk to Yu Qi secretly.
When Yu Qi saw the eldest grandmother leaving, she was a little reluctant and wanted to chase her out, but the old lady didn't give it, grabbed her, and said, "You come in with me, I have a gift for you." ”
At that time, the eldest grandmother had already walked out of the yard, and when she heard the old lady's words, she knew that the old lady wanted to send the fan to Yu Qi.
All the way back to Dongfu Rolling Garden, the eldest grandmother was deeply thoughtful, thinking carefully: Sooner or later, this matter will be known to Miss Qi, the old lady raised such a big tiger to live in Shouzhong! Today, I was lucky not to be stabbed in front of me, which day Miss Qi and Chunguang met, how is it good?
The more the grandmother thought about it, the more uneasy she became.
