The abbot clasped his hands together and saluted, "Amitabha, on behalf of the whole temple, I thank you in advance." ”

Birthday Gift: "Master, do you have anything else to say?" ”

The abbot said earnestly: "You must remember that all blessings are not far from the square inch; From the heart, you can feel everything. ”

The nerves of the birthday celebration seemed to be touched, and he said, "I don't know where it came from." Hope for the master's guidance. I seem to hear these two sentences a lot, but I forgot the source for a while. ”

The abbot's eyes sparkled, and he said in a very sincere tone: "This is a famous aphorism of our Zen Buddhism. ”

"Ah, I see? No wonder it's so familiar. But my level of education is not high, and I don't understand it deeply, so I hope the master will explain it to me in detail. ”

The abbot cleared his throat and said, "All blessings refer to all the merits of the world, that is, merit. Fang cun refers to our heart. The meaning of this sentence is that all the merits and blessings in the world are actually inseparable from what you do. Looking from the heart, feeling all is to truly find your true nature, there is nothing that cannot be perceived and connected! Only by purifying our hearts, cutting off evil and eliminating evil, and diligently planting good fruits, then there is nothing that cannot be figured out. ”

Birthday ceremony: "Do you mean that after we go back, we must be more diligent in planting good fruits and a variety of blessings?"

"Yes!" The abbot nodded, "After you go back, you don't have to worry all day long about the temporary lack of heirs, and your spirit will be decadent, otherwise you will lose all your essence, qi, spirit, and kidneys: you should face life head-on, be optimistic and happy, so that you will be happy." Husband and wife grow jade in Lantian and cooperate with each other to achieve positive results. If there is no big problem, around the Mid-Autumn Festival next year, you should have children in your arms. ”

The big stone that had been hanging high in his heart for the birthday gift was put down, turned his head and said to his wife Li Jinlan: "You don't have to be anxious when you go home." The master said that our happy event will be realized around the Mid-Autumn Festival next year, but it will be more than a year, and it will pass soon. ”

Li Jinlan's heartstrings, which had been tense, also relaxed, and a rare smile appeared on her face.

The breeze blows from the mountain on the side of Tianlu Mountain, through the corridor of the side hall, and blows to the people's bodies, which makes people's spirits lifted.

When he walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and walked to the abbot, and said, "I will ask the master again, if I have children, what will be their future in the future?"

The abbot pinched his fingers and counted, and then said, "Donor, your child is a spirit monkey, extremely intelligent, but naughty by nature......

In the past seven years, praying for the birth of children, birthday gifts and Li Jinlan are like the hope of a great drought, as long as there are children to follow, they will be satisfied, and now I heard the master say that their descendants are extremely smart, and they smiled from ear to ear: "Master, are you making us happy?"

The abbot took a sip of the teacup and raised his head: "Lao Na, the day I am stationed here in Xi is to help people gain insight into ignorance and solve difficulties. I'm just speaking intuitively. How dare a poor monk deceive the heavens and deceive people?"

Birthday ceremony: "I have one more thing to ask the master, my surname is Zhu, if my wife gives birth to a daughter next year, what should I call it?"

The abbot thought for a moment and replied, "It's called Jincai." ”

"Good call, gold and silver, riches; There was a glow on his face again," the birthday greeter nodded approvingly, and then asked, "What if it's a man?"

The abbot pondered for a while and replied loudly: "It's called Zhu Wencai!"

"Zhu Wencai?" Zhu Shou Liba blinked his eyes and said directly to his heart, "You said that if I give birth to a son in the future, I will call his name Wencai?"

Abbot: "Yes, it's called Wencai." ”

Zhu Shouli's face was puzzled: "Master, I'm a redneck, I have the strength and ability to plow the fields, but I can't read half a basket of words, I have no culture, and I don't have any talent!"

Li Jinfeng, who had been listening, spoke at this time: "Shouli, although you are not educated, I, Li Jinlan, am educated!"

The abbot smiled and pointed to the birthday ceremony and said, "Donor, your illiteracy does not mean that your son is illiterate, and your lack of education and talent does not mean that your son will be uneducated and talented in the future!" It is necessary to know that Lin Xinye urges the anterior leaf. ”

Li Jinlan picked up the words: "After the flowing water, the waves chase the front waves!"

When the abbot heard this, he laughed, "Donor." Look at your wife's culture is not low!

Li Jinlan's face was so red that she was praised: "When we were in our mother's house, my father attached great importance to teaching our sisters to learn Chu Ci Han Fu, Four Books and Five Classics. ”

"No wonder you have a good mouth," the abbot pointed to Li Jinlan, and then pointed to the birthday gift, "You will have to learn from your wife in the future." ”

Zhu Li's expression became shy: "Yes, my wife's education level is higher than mine, but she can't compare to me when Niu ploughs the fields." "If you fall for a birthday gift, you have to grab a handful of sand.

The smile on Li Jinlan's face was like a blooming lotus flower: "If the master's words come true, this will be regarded as a blessing for our half-life cultivation."

Get what you want, and your heart is full of joy. The birthday ceremony repeatedly thanked the abbot, quietly added sesame oil money to the merit box in the temple, and then happily went down the mountain with his wife.

The sun rises and sets, and the moon lacks a full moon. Time passed slowly like the stream of Tianlu Mountain, I don't know whether the abbot's prescription was related to the birthday ceremony, or the providence was destined, Li Jinlan became pregnant soon after returning to Luodong.

In the autumn of the following year, the golden wind was blowing, and the land ushered in the harvest season.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, the moon was big and round in the inky blue sky. Li Jinlan was pregnant in October, and once she gave birth, she gave birth to a fat and white little boy on the third watch of the Mid-Autumn Festival night.

"We have added another boy to Luodong Village!"

The news spread in Tianlu Mountain, and the villagers who came to congratulate him broke through the door. is because Li Jinlan, the wife of the birthday gift, is virtuous and likes to help others, that is to say, "planting Futian".

There is also a special reason, that is, the couple did not have a precious son until eight years after they were married, and according to rural parlance, the iron tree blossomed.

After the full moon, a grand Tianding full moon wine was set up in the Buddha pier. The big red firecrackers were set off loudly, and the firecracker confetti that burst was like snow. A sumptuous banquet filled the huge hill mounds, and the aroma of wine filled the air.

In the face of delicacies, the villagers guessed the fist and drank the order, raised their glasses and drank bitterly, after a round of lively staggering, the old patriarch with fluttering hair stood on the high position in front of the full moon banquet, and announced in front of everyone that Luodong Village had added a new Ding, according to the proposal of the abbot of Tianlu Mountain last year, the name of the little boy was "Zhu Wencai." ”

Since then, there has been one more man in Luodong Village, Zhu Wencai; A few years later, the new state was born

A well-known big picture wishes wealth.

Although Zhu Decai's father, Zhu Birthday, was an honest farmer, his mother-in-law Li Jinlan was born in a scholarly family, and she was quite accomplished in classical literature, and she memorized Tang poems like a stream. She knew that if her son was uneducated, he would only be able to do farm work in the countryside forever like her husband in the future, so she taught Zhu Decai to memorize the "Three Character Classic" and read 300 Tang poems when he was three years old, and explained poems and couplets and anecdotes in the ancient literary world to him when he was four years old.

With a good family education, Zhu Decai has developed a strong interest in poetry and couplets since he was a child, thus laying a good literary foundation.

Zhu Decai's mother-in-law's family is located in Xinzhou County. The folk customs there are very good, the emphasis is on literature and religion, the Zen style is curling, and the literary atmosphere is decisive. And teaching at Yuncheng School is the well-known old Mr. Gu Xueru.

Gu Xueru knows that the competition in life is often a cultural competition, and people in his hometown, especially the next generation, need more cultural improvement.

The complex of inseparability from his homeland made him quit his high-paying job in the provincial school at the age of 50 and returned to his hometown to take up the teaching whip.

Two of Gu Xueru's colleagues were his faithful followers and followed him to Yuncheng School to become teachers.

With such a famous teacher teaching, Yuncheng School has become famous. People in the city of Xinzhou and even outside the city are eager to send their children to study at the Juncheng School.

Jinshui and Shuidong are villages on both sides of the same river, so the children of Jinshui are the first to get the moon near the water, and go to Yuncheng School to study, and the children's love of reading has become a trend.

Gu Zhangjiao is now over the age of sixteen, tall and thin, with slightly convex cheekbones, and his teeth are due to smoking too much
