Chapter XXIII See Presiding Officer
"What the master said is that in the past year, I have deeply felt that the residual poison in my body has gradually increased, and all the injuries I suffered on the battlefield in the past have been recovered."
Xia Jinghong also said: "Grandfather has been disturbed by sleep for many days, please ask the master to take a look. ”
"Amitabha, Lord Wang, you are a person who kills on the battlefield, and you have a righteous qi to protect your body. Restlessness can lead to unintentional sleep, recently, but is there anything to worry about? ”
"Master Don't tell you, my little granddaughter almost couldn't be saved more than half a year ago, and since her body has recovered, she has become more eccentric, as if she has changed a person."
The master held the Buddha beads in his hand, and the old prince continued: "Originally, as long as Qingqing could get better, I didn't care much about the rest, but the master should have heard the rumors in recent days. Qingqing opened a white jade hall, which is a small shop selling her daughter's jewelry and clothing. I think the world's admiration for Qingqing is too high.
"And so showy."
The old prince paused and took a deep breath, "I'm worried, and it's not a good thing, but a bad thing." “
The Buddha beads in Master Puhua's hand turned faster and faster, and he was silent for a while and said, "Your worries are not unreasonable, you have fought on the battlefield for decades, you are deeply trusted by the emperor, and you also have a friendship with the emperor. It can be said that the glory of the family is at its peak. ”
"It's like the rising sun, if it keeps rising in the sky, there will naturally be people with hot eyes, but many things have not happened, we should relax."
Xia Jinghong also sighed, "My grandfather and I are on guard every day, but there are those who have been thieves for a thousand days, but there are no thieves for a thousand days." These things are just some jewelry, and these rich and noble people can buy them back, and they will let people check that they are harmless. ”
"It's impossible to do tricks and feet in the jewelry, but there are more and more rumors in the market, and there are all kinds of things, and it is said that Xia Qingqing is the reincarnation of a fairy, so she can come up with such exquisite jewelry, or that Xia Qingqing has already registered in the underworld after life and death, and the king of Hades will call him back if she asks her to come back and leave some inhuman things."
"Fortunately, Qingqing doesn't go out much on weekdays, so she doesn't know."
"Master, do you think my family Qingqing is really good, or will there be something in the future?" The old prince didn't continue, and everyone present knew what he meant.
"I once made up for her when the county lord was young, and her fate was gloomy at that time. The life is tortuous and unclear, and I can't see the road ahead. Now he's in good health. Presumably, the personality has also changed. I'll make up for her later, what do you think? ”
"I can't ask for it, master, I came to bring Qingqing this time, and I also have this idea, your hexagram is the most accurate in the world, if you affirm it, I will naturally feel at ease."
The master turned the Buddha beads in his hand, "The world has one more leaf to obscure." What you can't do yourself, you ask others to do it. Being lenient with oneself and being strict with others is a simple sentence to say, but it is very difficult to do. Fortunately, the people of the capital are more civilized, the people are more simple, and the roots of the imperial city are naturally much safer. ”
That's right, it's just that Qingqing wants to carry forward her Baiyutang and wants to open branches everywhere. ”
"If Bai Yutang is an inconspicuous shop, that's fine. Every day he can always cause. The sought after of the ladies of the family. If he really let him go somewhere else, I naturally don't worry about him going by himself. But no matter how many people I follow, I can't help but be scared.
"Raising a child at the age of 100 is often 99. Parents always have to worry about this. The three of them continued to talk about what was happening in the capital in the room.
Xia Qingqing sat in the wing room with her two sisters-in-law, and after a while, she became sleepy, and said, "Sister-in-law, I got up too early today, and I am really a little sleepy, why don't I sleep for a while, and you can call me again when I have fasting in the evening." ”
Saying that, she was about to lie down and was pulled by the fourth sister-in-law, "You are sleepy at night at this time, isn't it day and night reversed?" Get up! You go out with the two of us. You only came to this Foguang Temple for one day when you were a child, and you haven't been here for many years. ”
"This side is backed by mountains and water. The scenery is beautiful and the air is good. Take a stroll and you might find something new. ”
The fourth sister-in-law seduced her word by word.
Xia Qingqing held her eyelids, walked to the table, raised her hand and drank a bowl of tea that had already cooled. He shouted, "Okay, let's go!" Get out and take a look. ”
The three of them walked out of the door and walked along the road to the back mountain, "The mountain behind this Foguang Temple was originally just a stream, but the abbot at that time calculated that this place was a blessed place, so he built this Foguang Temple here, this creek also has the original length of more than 20 zhang, the width of more than 10 zhang is now rebuilt into the current length of 120 zhang, the width of more than 90 zhang. ”
"The source of the water here can be traced back to the top reservoir, and the water in the reservoir is the water that everyone in the capital needs to drink every day." The four sisters-in-law introduced several people to her walked in the mountains, the stone steps were polished to be extremely smooth, and at a glance, there were often people who believed in Buddhism, and sincerely worshiped the Buddha here.
After every little walk, there is a gazebo for people to rest. The fourth sister-in-law raised her hand and pointed down, and the two looked into the distance. "Yes, how many steps do you have to have?" Xia Qingqing said blankly with her mouth half-open.
"The total length is nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, and there is a temple at the top, only slightly thiner. Set up east and west ear rooms. In the center of the main hall placed a golden body of the Buddha, often people are willing to bow step by step to the top of the mountain, just to ask for the wish to come true. ”
Xia Qingqing, as a person who grew up under the nine-year compulsory education, naturally does not fully believe in these gods and Buddhas, but there are gods on his head, and he must not believe it.
"We're not going to climb, are we? There are so many steps, I guess it's going to be dark when I climb up! ”
The third sister-in-law also said, "Let's just take a turn at the bottom of this mountain, walk along the water, and lo and behold, there are a lot of carp in the water." ”
Xia Qingqing immediately heard that the probe was looking for it in the water, "This water is crystal clear, hey, there is a big fish, it has to be as long as two palms, let's catch it and roast it!" ”
The fourth sister-in-law slapped her little hand, "This is a Buddhist land, how can you eat meat!" Put away the eating and drinking in your mind, I will take you to see this beautiful river and mountain, magnificent scenery, not to take you to touch fish and catch shrimp and swim and eat. ”
Xia Qingqing muttered in her mouth, touched the red place of her right hand with her left hand and said, "Sister-in-law, you are too heavy, aren't I just excited to say what is in my heart?" Besides, if you don't know, the Buddha will definitely not blame me. ”
"You, you, just put the Buddha in your mouth, that's to be offered in your heart."
Jigong also said that the wine and meat passed through the intestines, and the Buddha stayed in his heart, and I have a place for the Buddha in my heart. So I told the Buddha that it was okay. Grilled fish, let's not take the test first, but it's okay to grab a few and take them away when you leave," Xia Qingqing rubbed her hands excitedly.
"You, if you have the ability, you can go and ask the host for it yourself." The fourth sister-in-law spread her hands and said.
Xia Qingqing looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, and said, "I'll go by myself, I'll go by myself." The host is so understanding, and his merits are famous all over the world, I think it will definitely satisfy my wish. ”
"They get up in the morning to study the Dharma and work in the fields every day to eat and drink. In the evening, I have evening classes to do, study Buddhist scriptures, study Buddhist principles, and hope to become a Buddha as soon as possible and transcend the world. ”
"Sister-in-law, don't talk about it anymore, I don't have the idea of becoming a Buddha as soon as possible. After walking for almost an hour, let's go back, go back and sit for a while before we can eat, eat, eat and sleep. Let's go back early," Xia Qingqing cried loudly.
"Okay, okay, I'm really scared of you, let's go, let's go back."
In the evening, everyone sits at a table and eats the food provided by the monastery.
Grandfather spoke. "Qingqing, I'll take you to see Master Puhua after eating for a while."
Xia Qingqing bit her chopsticks and said vaguely, "Grandfather, I just want to catch a fish, I don't have to meet the host so soon!" ”
As she spoke, her eyes drifted to the fourth sister-in-law, thinking that she had sued her grandfather.
The fourth sister-in-law was angry!
"You've all entered the Buddhist temple, and you're still thinking about eating and drinking. The fish in the temple, how can you catch it when you say it, don't move these eyes! ”
Xia Qingqing immediately reacted, "Then what am I going to see the host for?" ”
"When you were young, he divined a hexagram for you, saying that you have a catastrophe in your life, and if you can pass it, you will live a good life in the future. Later, it was fulfilled by God, and you have been very well recently, so it is better to let him make up for you again. ”
"Grandfather's hexagram is a matter of believing and not believing."
The old prince looked at her with a frown, and Xia Qingqing immediately changed his words and said, "Go, let's go after eating." The fourth young master, Xia Jinghong, chuckled, causing everyone at the table to look at him.
The old prince coughed and said, "Jinghong, you also go with you, hurry up and eat." ”
"Excuse me Master,"
"It's okay, please."
"Quick, Qingqing will give the master a salute."
"Meet Master Puhua."
"Lord Qingqing doesn't have to be polite, the two of you, please take a seat."
"It's really bothering the master, and I'm practicing at night."
As soon as the three of them sat down, the old prince couldn't wait to say, "Do you want to show Qingqing the palm print first, or do you directly start a hexagram, master?" ”
Master Puhua put down the beads that were turning in his hand and said, "Please stretch out your right hand." ”
Xia Qingqing sat obediently, listening to the words of the two of them, and quickly stretched out her hand.
For a moment, the air seemed to be still, and Xia Qingqing didn't even dare to breathe.
Master Puhua looked thoughtfully at the palm print in her palm, and finally said, "Please change one hand," Xia Qingqing hurriedly changed another hand, and placed the two hands alternately in Master Puhua's hand.
At the end, I only heard Master Puhua sigh softly, "Amitabha." ”
