Chapter 24: Incense (2)
After looking at it for a while, Wen Zhu put down the curtain and turned back to Wen Lan's smiling face, this second sister was born with a smile, and the second brother-in-law was full of husband and wife faces, long sleeves and good dancing, and exquisite on all sides, but she was the strongest affinity among the Wen sisters.
Wen Lan sighed lightly and said: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the prosperity is still there, but it is a pity that the Yangtze River is overflowing, and there are countless victims on both sides of the river. ”
Wen Zhu was taken aback, "Is the Yangtze River flooding?" ”
Wen Lan nodded and said: "In the early spring of this year, Qin Tianjian Gao Tianshi once said that the winter was dry and cold, the spring was dry and stuffy, and there will be a big flood this summer. ”
Wen Zhu looked through Wen Lan, as if he saw countless disaster victims helping the old and the young to wander around, and couldn't help muttering: "There are thousands of mansions in Ande, and the poor people in the world are happy." ”
Because he was lonely since he was a child in his previous life, Wenzhu has never been a person who can walk calmly in front of beggars, whether it is true or not, he can save his mouth and eat.
Wen Lan looked at this sister a few times with surprise, the daughter raised in the boudoir can have such a mind, she still got married and gradually learned a lot of things that had never been heard of before, no wonder her father intended to pass on the family to the third sister in a hundred years, it is indeed extraordinary.
Wen Lan patted Wen Zhu's hand comfortingly, and said, "Daddy has already purchased 100 truckloads of brown rice from the rice produced in the village and transported it to the disaster area, and all the old cloth from the cloth shop at home has also been donated. ”
Wen Zhu looked at Wen Lan in surprise, saw Wen Lan nodded seriously, and said in his heart: This Master Wen has such knowledge, in the previous life, many rich people in China only thought about gathering wealth and passing on their descendants, wealth and wealth for thousands of generations, and occasional donations are only forced by public opinion, and charity is a popular thing among the rich in Europe and the United States.
Thinking about it, no, it is a deep-rooted concept that has been passed down since ancient times for the sake of future generations.
Wen Zhu stared at Wen Lan with a smile and asked, "Daddy, is it for fame or is there any reward from the government?" ”
Seeing Wen Lan but smiling silently, Wen Zhu groaned again, since it is not, then there is only one possibility, floods, rice and grain prices have risen, he raised his head suddenly, and asserted: "Daddy wants to cut off anyone's financial route?!" ”
If Wen Langang had already taken a look at Wen Zhugao, now she was shocked, and the third sister, who was not visible on weekdays, was so smart.
Wen Lan thought about it, since her father intended to cultivate the third sister, it was impossible to tell her and Pan about this matter.
pulled Wen Zhu and instructed in a low voice: "You must not reveal this matter to the fifth sister." ”
Seeing that Wen Zhu nodded solemnly, Wen Lan said again: "The Sun family has thousands of acres of fertile land, and they also do some rice and grain business, but they are asked to take care of the family. For the sake of this year's big water, the Sun family borrowed a lot of money from your second brother-in-law's money bank, and hoarded an unknown amount of rice grain, just to make this windfall. ”
Wen Zhu asked puzzledly: "Isn't the fifth sister about to marry into the Sun family?" Why does Daddy want to go against the Sun family again?"
Wen Lan said hatefully: "The Sun family actually wants the fifth sister to enter as a concubine!" When the eldest sister married into the Yan family, her father said that he would never allow his second daughter to be a concubine in this life. ”
Wen Zhu suddenly realized, thought a little, and then understood the ins and outs, and asked, "But Daddy begged the second brother-in-law to recover the loan?" And buy a large amount of rice grain to stabilize food prices? ”
Wen Lan shook her head and said, "Your second brother-in-law is just a partial branch of the Yan family, and now he is just a party in charge, how can he be the master?" ”
After a pause, he said proudly: "It's because my father promised five times the usury, and the Yan family was driven by profit, so he was willing to take back that money!" ”
Wen Zhu nodded deeply, the world is bustling, all for profit, the world is crowded, all for profit, businessmen live for profit, the Yan family does it, but there is nothing to dispute, and the article must be to do things without leakage, out of my mouth, into your ears.
Wen Zhu asked, "Then now the Sun family has changed their minds?" ”
Wen Lan frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "It will take a while to find out." ”
Wen Zhu squeezed Wen Lan's hand soothingly: "The plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky, the second sister doesn't need to worry too much, besides, my Wen family is rich and rivals the country, what if the fifth sister doesn't marry his grandson family?" ”
Wen Lan was suddenly enlightened, and once again looked at Wen Zhu with a new eye: "What the third sister said is very true, I think too much. ”
Wen Zhu smiled lightly, "The so-called authorities are obsessed, so my sister, an outsider, can see it more clearly than my sister." ”
Wen Zhu persuaded Wen Lan softly, but there was a fire burning in his heart, Sun family, if this matter can be good, it will be fine.
Vinlan is good at dancing with long sleeves and is exquisite, and after changing the topic, he talked about the Xiangguo Temple he was going to today. Xiangguo Temple is located on the top of Xiaoxiang Mountain, it is the place where the holy monk Xuanzang went to the west to learn the scriptures and returned to sit in meditation, it is said that there is the blessing of the Buddha, and the incense is extremely vigorous.
The current presiding master of the empty bamboo is superb in Buddhism, and has reconciled with the royal family, and has made a good relationship, and is also a number of eminent monks in the world.
Several wives of the Wen family are all Buddhists, often incense, generous, has always been the guest who presides over the empty bamboo master, but there is no need to be with the flat-headed people, crowded in the front hall on the incense, their own back road mountaineering.
At the foot of the mountain, the female guests all changed into a soft sedan chair, carried by the sturdy servant, walked the bluestone path, and went straight to the back temple.
The front hall is to give the pilgrims incense and pray, the back mountain is the place where the monks live and meditate, it covers a very large area, layers of temples, simple and deep, when the women of the Wen family go up the mountain, they are catching up with the monks in the morning class, the temple echoes the sound of chanting, soothing and peaceful, cleansing the mind, Wen Zhu's mind is suddenly ethereal, and he wishes to be so eternal for thousands of years.
The presiding master of Kongzhu, a monk of about forty years old, was skinny, with a pair of plain eyes, and gently folded his hands towards Wen Xu, and first recited the sentence of Amitabha.
Wen Xu clasped his hands together and said: "The Yangtze River floods, the Wen family is willing to give 100,000 yuan of incense money, and ask the master to lay down the porridge shed and pardon the victims." ”
The face of the empty bamboo master Gujing Wubo couldn't help but feel a little moved, and his hands were folded again, and he said: "If so, the little monk has thanked the people of the world for being a monk, Amitabha." ”
Xu is grateful for Wen's piety, the master of the empty bamboo personally accompanied, the Wen family this time to worship the Buddha is to come, the ladies according to the rank, in turn on the incense, the daughters also take turns according to the age of the forward, see Wenlan worship Buddha, Wenzhu took the incense in the hands of the fortune, but because of the inconvenience of going out, this time out only brought the fortune.
Whether you believe in Buddhism or not, since you have come to this world, there must be some kind of mysterious power, the power of heaven is unpredictable, or it is good to be in awe, Wenzhu sincerely burned incense, worshiped three times, may my father be healthy, may my sisters be safe and happy, and may the victims return to their hometown as soon as possible.
