Chapter 146: Merit or Calamity? (2nd Update)
In her previous life, Wang Caidan also comforted her that she would get better.
But things are getting worse and worse.
When her loved ones were irretrievably lost, she remembered to recite this "Dizang Sutra" to help the deceased get out of the evil path. In fact, what could the Buddha help her? It's just for peace of mind.
Han Youning smiled at her, thanking her for her kindness, "Yes, it will definitely get better."
Wang Caidan said slowly, "For example, there are three thousand worlds, all the plants and trees, all the forests, the rice, the hemp, the bamboo and the reeds, the mountains and rocks, and the dust, one thing and one number, making one Ganges. A Ganges sand, a sand and a boundary, within a boundary, a dust and a catastrophe. Within a catastrophe, the amount of dust accumulated is full of catastrophe. The Bodhisattva of the Earth has proved that the Ten Fruit Levels have come, a thousand times more than the above metaphor."
She looked at Han Youning, "Am I right?"
Han Youning knew that she was a talented woman, and she was extremely good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she didn't think that Buddhist scriptures would be so easy to come by.
"Yes, the lord also likes Buddhist scriptures?"
Wang Caidan said, "Not really. The prince's cousin believed in Buddhism, often took a copy of the "Dizang Sutra" to read, and invited a monk to the prince's mansion to do things. I was curious, so I took a look at it and memorized a few things. The Zen meaning of my cousin's words is that Jizo Bodhisattva has boundless compassion and immeasurable merit, and can survive the catastrophe of the world. Since my sister believes in him, he will surely be able to bless her with safety and prosperity, and her family will soon ascend to bliss."
Zhao Chen believes in Buddhism?
Han Youning sneered in his heart.
He was reborn by himself, so he wants to do things to get rid of the bad luck in the house, and then try to turn over, right?
"What the prince said is biased, these sentences are for the Jizo Bodhisattva to sing praises of merit, but the Jizo Bodhisattva can have such great merits, don't you know that it is not because all sentient beings are suffering too much? Wouldn't it be a great merit if a bodhisattva had great compassion and stopped calamities before they happened?"
Wang Caidan stroked his hand and praised, "My sister's words are very reasonable. If you have the chance, you two can argue."
Han Youning's tone softened, "I recite Buddhist scriptures for meditation, I don't seek to cross the calamity, but I don't have the habit of discussing with others."
Wang Caidan was also not displeased, and praised, "My sister is quite insightful and assertive, and the Chen family's family style and tutoring are admirable."
In the end, her face was solemn.
Han Youning's eyes were hot.
Those high-ranking people in the capital mention the Chen family, most of them are disdainful, even if there are praises, they are also praising the "righteous businessmen", and they will never praise the family style and tutors.
In fact, the Chen family's tutor is indeed quite strict, but she is just loose on her. Her six elder brothers, all of whom are humble gentlemen with a clear breeze and a bright moon and a noble character, are not inferior to the noble sons in the capital.
There are six of them, three of them are lifted, and three are showers, among which the eldest cousin is Xie Yuan from the southwest. If it weren't for the death of their grandfather three years ago, they would have to mourn and not be able to participate in the Spring Festival of the New Year. No, it's a four-jinshi, and the eldest uncle is also a two-rank jinshi.
And in this year's autumn, the three cousins who did not win the exam were still full of ambition to win in one fell swoop, and then the six brothers of the Chen family went to Beijing to take the exam together. However, before the autumn came, they were all dead. The eldest cousin who escaped by luck is still uncertain about his life and death.
If there was no catastrophe and the six cousins entered Beijing, who would dare to despise the Chen family tutor? The Chen family is afraid that they have become the upstart of the Great Zhou!
Han Youning said in a deep voice, "What the county lord said is right, the Chen family's tutor is excellent. If the lord had seen my brothers, he would have known better, and they ......."
Han Youning's eyes were red, and he couldn't go on.
The most pity is her cousins.
Such a good age, a great future.
Wang Caidan's expression was gloomy, holding her hand, and she was silent, and the atmosphere was depressed for a while.
Zhao Chengyuan helped Han Youning refill a cup of tea, and said softly, "Say so many words, drink tea to moisten your throat."
Han Youning took a sip of tea and suppressed his emotions.
In fact, she and Wang Caidan are just new acquaintances now, and they are a bit shallow and deep. But Wang Caidan was so friendly that she couldn't help but let go of her guard and talk to her as an old friend in her previous life.
She digressed the subject, "What does my sister like?"
Wang Caidan smiled, "I can also play Go, why don't we play chess?" But in front of the Seventh Emperor Uncle, I want to get an axe."
Han Youning knew that Wang Caidan was giving him face, and in the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, Wang Caidan's Go was relatively the weakest.
As soon as she said hello, Zhao Chengyuan said, "It's time for lunch, Danyang go down."
Wang Caidan didn't mean to stay, and responded with a smile, "Don't disturb Uncle Huang." Oh yes, my eldest brother asked me to greet you on her behalf, saying that he wouldn't come up and disturb your purity."
Zhao Chengyuan nodded, and didn't say any polite words.
Wang Caidan winked at Han Youning, "We'll talk later."
"Okay. The county lord walks slowly."
Han Youning watched her leave.
It wasn't until the door closed that she turned to Zhao Chengyuan and asked with a smile, "Is the prince afraid that I will lose face if I lose?"
Zhao Chengyuan said, "You don't like this, why bother to wronged yourself in order to accommodate others."
Han Youning asked with a smile, "The prince doesn't seem to like the county lord?"
Zhao Chengyuan took the dim sum aside, and moved the fruit bowl to her, "I don't like it or dislike, if I am a bystander, I am afraid that I will be driven earlier." Fun Cabinet
Han Youning laughed.
It is indeed possible.
The two chatted, time passed quickly, and although the lunch was vegetarian, it was a feast for the senses.
After noon, Han Youning leaned on the south window facing the street and looked into the distance, refusing to move any more.
Zhao Chengyuan knew that she had to sleep after lunch, and looking at the faint dark circles around her eyes, he knew that she hadn't slept well at all last night.
Dingguo Gong is just her uncle, how can he be so excited.
Or are you a child, do you feel like you have something to rely on?
He said, "The Ministry of Rites has a charter, and it will be almost an hour before the procession arrives. You get some sleep first, so that you don't lose your energy."
Han Youning remained motionless, "I'm not sleepy."
Zhao Chengyuan didn't force her, but carried the low collapse to the window with Luo Ping.
He patted the big pillow on the low floor, "Lean here, and I won't delay you from watching the street."
Han Youning was sleepy, her hands and feet were weak and weak, she turned her head to look at the dwarf, and gave in.
She commanded them to place the dwarf in a position with the best view.
Han Youning leaned and sat up, the window was low, and it would not block his vision.
Zhao Chengyuan moved a chair and sat next to the couch, "I'll tell you a passage."
Han Youning retracted his gaze and said happily, "Okay."
She regretted slightly, "It's a pity that I didn't bring a small wooden fish."
Zhao Chengyuan took off the jade pendant from his waist and put it in her hand, "When you feel the need, knock your jade pendant, and it will be a wooden fish."
Han Youning took the jade pendant and tapped it on his jade pendant, making a crisp sound, "Lord Wang, let's talk about it!"
Zhao Chengyuan said, "Then let's talk about the "Dizang Sutra", the paragraph you just said."
