Chapter 73: Pretending to be a ghost
The old lady and Zhang Yuying left proudly, leaving Zhang Yuqing and Zhang Yushu in the side hall.
After a while, the little novice offered herbal tea and vegetarian snacks, and said to Zhang Yuqing, "My master is in the courtyard. ”
Zhang Yushu saw that he was cute, and asked with a smile, "Who is your master?" ”
Xiao Shami looked like he was seven years old at most, with a smooth head, white and cute, and his chubby little hand pushed a cup of herbal tea to Zhang Yuqing and said, "My master is Master Kude. ”
Zhang Yuqing was stunned for a moment, not knowing what this little novice meant, her mind turned back and forth a few times, and finally fell silent.
Xiao Shami looked at Zhang Yuqing and said, "My master said, you must have a lot to say to him." ”
Zhang Yuqing smiled slightly, "Did you recognize the wrong person?" I am the eldest girl of the Zhang family, and it is the second girl of the Zhang family who was named the daughter of the phoenix life by Master Kude, and I went with our grandmother to listen to your senior brother talk about the Buddhist scriptures just now. ”
"I know that the daughter of the phoenix is out, I didn't recognize the wrong person!" The little novice pouted.
Zhang Yuqing followed the novice's line of sight, and Master Kude was standing in the courtyard, and the setting sun cast a long shadow on his thin figure on the ground.
"Go ahead, don't keep my master waiting." The little novice said in a milky voice.
Zhang Yuqing's smile disappeared from her face and she stood up from the futon.
Zhang Yushu looked at her uneasily, and whispered: "Big sister......"
Xiao Shami tugged at Zhang Yushu's sleeve and made a booing gesture.
Zhang Yushu had to watch Zhang Yuqing open the door and go out.
Kude is still dressed in a gray linen monk's robe, which is incompatible with this magnificent royal temple, as if he is a wild monk running outside to fight the autumn wind.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Kude turned around, looked at Zhang Yuqing calmly, and folded his hands and recited a sentence of Amitabha, "Miss Zhang, don't come unharmed." ”
Zhang Yuqing couldn't figure out Kude's intentions for a while, and returned the salute silently and coldly.
Kude said: "The girl must be very resentful of the poor monk, right? ”
Zhang Yuqing's eyes widened suddenly, and her heart beat violently, "Master, what do you mean by this?" How dare I, an orphan girl with no father and mother, resent the master! ”
Kude laughed, his weather-beaten wrinkles stretched a lot, and he asked, "Can the girl trust her life?" ”
Zhang Yuqing's eyes changed a few times, and he said, "Letter! Human life is predestined by birth. ”
Kude smiled and shook his head, "The girl is insincere, say it again." ”
"It is said in the Buddhist scriptures that the effect of this life is the cause of the previous life." Zhang Yuqing said again.
Kude still smiled and shook his head, "Girl, let's talk about it." ”
"I don't know what the master wants me to say." Zhang Yuqing's anger slowly surged into her heart, and she said in a deep voice.
Kude said: "What the poor monk asks is, can the girl trust her life? ”
"I said I believed it, but it seems that the master doesn't believe me." Zhang Yuqing smiled faintly.
Kude still shook his head, "The poor monk really doesn't believe it, if he does, the girl is not worthy of the poor monk to arrange this meeting." ”
Zhang Yuqing clenched her fists in surprise, could it be that Kude gave an invitation to the Zhang family, saying that she must bring the three girls of the Zhang family, but in fact, she just wanted to see her?
"The poor monk asked the girl one last time, and the girl could trust her life?" Kude asked solemnly.
As the sun sets, the cool breeze rises in the mountains, the white lotus flowers in the pond sway with the wind, and the cicadas chirp in the courtyard.
Zhang Yuqing was silent for a long time, then suddenly laughed and said, "I don't believe in fate!" ”
Kude looked at her with no sadness or joy on his face.
"They say that my father and mother are broom stars, and they have a bad life! But I don't believe in it! Zhang Yuqing said coldly.
No one should trample her into the mud, even if she is beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, and her life hangs by a thread, she will never flinch, and she will never kneel there and wait for someone to step on it, and give up on herself!
"The poor monk looked at the girl's face, and she experienced many life and death partings at a young age, which caused the girl to feel depressed." Kude sighed, his bright eyes full of compassion.
Zhang Yuqing said quietly: "My biological parents died in front of me, this is not a secret. However, I always thought that looking at the face was the livelihood of the Taoist, and the masters were all monks of the Huangjue Temple, so there was no need to rob the Taoist priest's job, right? ”
A disciple monk beside Kude said angrily: "The donor's words are really excessive, we Zen practitioners are dedicated to the Buddha, the six roots are pure, and the four are empty, if it is not for the common people, how can we enter this world of red dust!" ”
Zhang Yuqing raised her eyebrows and sneered, "The four are all empty and have such a big anger, it can be seen that they are not empty at all!" ”
Who doesn't know that the monks of Huangjue Temple live in the best place in the capital, and thousands of strong men do not produce, all rely on the people to support.
This person can actually say that eating and drinking for nothing is so fresh and refined, and he is indeed very "cultivated".
"You!" Kude's disciple was dumbfounded, staring at Zhang Yuqing.
Kude chuckled under his breath, "Stand down!" I am not good at practicing meditation, I am proud and arrogant, and I have eaten the lesson of Zhang Shizhu today. ”
The young monk looked ashamed and withdrew from the courtyard.
"The girl doesn't believe in fate, and must be very resentful of the poor monk who arranged the girl's fate." Kude smiled.
Zhang Yuqing took a deep breath, suppressed the uneven anger surging in his chest, and said lightly: "The master's casual words have changed the lives of countless people. ”
If it weren't for Kude pointing out Zhang Yuying as the daughter of Fengfang, how could she be at the mercy of fate, be forced to stay in the capital, and marry Lu Wei for Zhang Yuying!
"Since the girl doesn't believe in fate, why does she think that the future must be bad?" Kude asked rhetorically.
Zhang Yuqing sneered and did not defend himself.
Needless to say? Lu Wei was pressed to marry her, how good can she live in the Lu family? What's more, in the end, the story will inevitably lead to the ending of Lu Wei and Zhang Yuying tying the knot, where should she go then?
Kude clasped his hands together and recited "Amitabha", "Girl, the deceased is gone, the past has become a boat, and it cannot be changed, and the future is ethereal, life is not absolute, and people can only grasp the present." ”
Zhang Yuqing frowned, "What does the master mean?" ”
"Once the present is past, the future is now! What the future of the girl is depends on how the girl is now. Kude said, turning to leave.
The evening breeze in the mountains blew Zhang Yuqing's long hair and skirt corners, and the earth illuminated by the sunset was bright red.
When Zhang Yushu probed his brain out, he saw Zhang Yuqing standing alone in the courtyard.
"Where's Master Kude?" Zhang Yushu asked curiously, "What did he tell you?" ”
Zhang Yuqing said lightly: "Talking nonsense, pretending to be a ghost!" ”
"Ah......" Zhang Yushu smiled awkwardly.
The two went back indoors, and after a while, Zhang Yuying and the old lady came back.
"The master's chief disciple has a profound knowledge of the Dharma!" Zhang Yuying glanced at Zhang Yuqing and said loudly.
Seeing that Zhang Yuqing and Zhang Yushu did not respond, Zhang Yuying said again: "It's a pity that the master monk said it clearly, only me and my grandmother were invited, otherwise I can also take the two of you over to listen to it!" ”
"The two of them, one is young and the other is stupid, how can they understand the profound Dharma, and it will be useless to go!" The old lady laughed.
Zhang Yuying smiled proudly.
Zhang Yushu glanced at Zhang Yuying with strange eyes, but Master Kude of the Secret Dao came to find Sister Yuqing in person.
But Zhang Yuqing didn't mean to speak, and Zhang Yushu naturally wouldn't say it.
When the group returned to Zhangfu, it was already moonlit and starry.
Zhang Yuqing has a set of red wedding dresses on her bed.
Wang Chunniang greeted her, pulled her and said with a smile: "Mrs. Zhang sent it over, you can try it quickly, if it doesn't fit, change it tomorrow." ”
"Don't try, so be it!" Zhang Yuqing glanced at the wedding dress on the bed, lacking interest.
Wang Chunniang looked at Zhang Yuqing's back and sighed.
"Girl, life is a human being." Wang Chunniang persuaded, "Lu Gongzi, like Luo Gongzi, are both good people, you are so smart, as long as you are willing, you can live a good life with Lu Gongzi!" ”
Zhang Yuqing sat on the chair, removed the bun on her head and combed her hair, pouting in her heart, Lu Wei pretended to be Zhang Yuying in her heart, and hit the wall for love, she even had Einstein's head, and she couldn't think of an idea to break back the head that Lu Wei hit on the south wall.
"Let's talk about it!" Zhang Yuqing said perfunctorily.
The big red wedding dress embroidered with a hundred years of reconciliation and an early noble son was rudely rolled up by Zhang Yuqing and casually thrown onto the chair.
At night, Zhang Yuqing lay on the bed, thinking back to what Kude had said to her today, "What the girl's future looks like depends on how the girl is now." ”
There was silence outside the window, only the unknown insects in the summer night were chirping softly, and Wang Chunniang was already asleep on the couch next to her.
"Is it for me to grasp the present and change the future?" Zhang Yuqing muttered.
But the future is already doomed, how can she change?
Zhang Yuqing turned over irritably, a ray of moonlight outside the window shone on the bed through the window lattice, Zhang Yuqing sat up suddenly, her eyes widened.
The future is illusory, and there is no absolute.
Lu Wei and Zhang Yuying tying the knot together is only a part of the future, a very small part, and this world is only destined to end a small part!
Her fate has not been said, it is not predestined, she does not accept her fate!
Zhang Yuqing took a deep breath before calming down her excitement.
On the day of the wedding, at dusk, in the noisy sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers, Zhang Yuqing changed into a wedding dress.
A maid in the front yard ran over and said with a smile: "The team to welcome the relatives has arrived!" The bridegroom has arrived! ”
Yugu helped the old lady over, and saw a bright red beauty standing there with her hands behind her back, with a cold expression on her beautiful face, without the shyness of a bride.
On weekdays, Zhang Yuqing is dressed plainly, and at this moment, when everyone sees Zhang Yuqing dressed up, they can't help but be amazed.
As soon as the groom arrived, he took Zhang Yuqing and left the Zhang family, Zhang Yuqing was the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, and was no longer the girl of the Zhang family.
At this moment, although the old lady felt that she was hard-hearted enough, she was still a little sad, and couldn't help but say: "You, you will serve your husband and ......in-laws well in the future, and serve your husband and in-laws wholeheartedly."
"Are you done?" Zhang Yuqing asked coldly, picking up the red hijab on the chair.
Night Rain spoilers in advance, Kude is an important character who is often gray and gray~~~ You can guess who his vest is?
