I promise

Chapter 957

In summer, the ancient pagoda tree is full of shade.

Heshengtang is a rare place where it is not cold in winter and dry in summer, and there is a warm and upright atmosphere all year round.

It's not because it faces south, the terrain is high and flat, and it's not because of the good Fengshui pattern, but because of the old man's presence, any place can become a peaceful treasure land that is safe from wind and rain and makes people feel at ease.

Uncle Fu made tea, and Jingci thanked him with both hands.

"...Therefore, on the 23rd of this month, I will set off with the nunnery master and go to the South China Sea to spread the Dharma." Jingci continued, "I don't know when I will go back here, so I come to say goodbye to the old lady."

Chang Jihai nodded, "It's a great achievement to promote Buddhism and save the common people. You should go."

Chang Suyi lowered her head and twisted her fingers, her eye circles were reddened, she restrained herself.

Jingci dipped her lips in tea, and immediately stood up, Chunjing's brows were clear, and she smiled, "So, the poor nun will leave without disturbing you."

Chang Jihai nodded again, "When the Thousand Buddhas come back, I will let him go up the mountain to bid farewell."

Once you enter the Buddhist gate, there is no obstacle in the world of mortals.

But this is Chang Jihai's insistence, and it's hard to say no.

Years ago when she was a vulgar woman Yishuang, because of her disagreement with her husband Chang Shuye, she had been resentful all the year round, causing Chang Shuye to be tired and lazy to return home, which indirectly caused him to die in the flood in Jincheng.Later, she couldn't bear the torment in her heart, so she escaped into Buddhism and left a pair of young children behind.It is really a failure of the responsibility of being a wife and a mother. 【1】

But the two children did not resent her.

Every year, on her birthday, Chang Qianfo would bring Chang Suyi to Chana Nunnery to pay respects to the Buddha. When he saw her, his attitude was very friendly but not entangled, and his conversation was quite philosophical.

——Chang Jihai brought up a pair of grandchildren very well.

Jingci smiled and saluted, "The old man has a heart."

Chang Jihai looked at his granddaughter again, "Su Yi will send off the teacher for me."

At this moment, there was a baby babbling in the room, and Deng Gu from Guangji Hall came out holding Ju Yan who had just woken up from a nap.

It was an old acquaintance. Although we haven't seen each other for many years, we still know each other when we meet.

Jingci bent down to salute, but Deng Gu's attitude was reserved. She nodded slightly because of affection, and came to hand Ju Yan to Chang Jihai, her voice tinged with a smile, "I just ate goat's milk. Appetite It's very big, but I'm not very happy, and I utter a few words after eating for a while, probably because I miss my mother."

Chang Jihai also thought it was funny, and hugged the fat great-grandson who ate and slept well and babbled non-stop, his wrinkles stretched out when he smiled, and the more kindly he said, "What a good grandson, he doesn't cry or make trouble." He raised his arm and shook it twice Next, stretch out your fingers to tease the child in your arms, "Hurry up, mom and dad are coming back soon."

Yin looked at Jingci and said, "This is the son of Qianfo, named Juyan."

Because the blood relationship is too strong, Jingci has been away from the Three Realms for many years, and she feels that her six senses have been purified. Hearing the child's "giggling" laughter, she still couldn't help but stop and take a look.

"It's a child with blessings." She said with a smile.

"Boys born at noon have good luck." Chang Jihai didn't like the theory of fate in the past, but since the day Ju Yan was born, he has said this sentence from time to time, he really loves it.

He also said, "Not so much like a thousand Buddhas, but more like my mother."

The old man's thin fingers were grasped by the baby's soft little hands, warm and soft, his heart melted, and his eyes were filled with love, "Spiritual, good-looking."

There was pride in the old man's tone, but he didn't know it.

Jingci smiled lightly.

She had heard from Chang Qianfo that the wife he married was the Fourth Miss of the Mu family in the east of the city.That little girl has been well-known since she was a child, and she has the reputation of "child prodigy", so she is naturally blessed with aura.

The old man didn't marry his son a daughter-in-law who was useful, so the matter of choosing his grandson's daughter-in-law was finally complete.

Chang Suyi sent Jingci to the ferry.

The distant mountains are steep and cloudy in summer, and the vast blue lake water is white in the sun, showing the shadows of wild geese.Yandong goes to spring and returns, but I don't know when people will return?

"I heard from my brother that the South China Sea is very far away." Chang Suyi handed over a sachet embroidered with Buddha's gatha, "When you are tired on the way to Master Tai, take a sniff of it to relieve your fatigue. Hang it by the bed at night , and sleep soundly."

Jingci took it with both hands, and thanked her, "Thank you, little benefactor Chang."

Chang Suyi's eyes were red, "I went to South China Sea, I can no longer make medicine for my wife. My wife should eat well, sleep well, don't be too tired, don't let yourself get sick..."

A tear fell, and she asked, "Master...will you come back?"

Due to the lack of womb, she always looks more innocent than her peers, but she is not stupid.Over the years, her elder brother often took her up to the mountains to pay respects to the Buddha, and there were times when Jing Ci traveled far and did not return, so she could not see anyone.But in those few times, Jingci never went to Changjiabao to bid farewell to Chang Jihai.

"If there is a destiny, we will meet each other." Jingci raised her hand to wipe the teardrops from the corners of Chang Suyi's eyes, took a step back, and made a solemn Buddhist ceremony, "I also hope that the little benefactor can cherish himself well and don't be too sad."

The light boat carries pedestrians and turns around the green hills.The tears that Chang Suyi had held for a long time finally dripped down to his feet.

She felt empty inside.

Grandpa told her since childhood that her mother listened to Buddhist bells, copied Buddhist scriptures, and prayed for her and her brother every day in a nunnery not far from home.Although it is not like other children who have their mother by their side, knowing that she is by Luoyang makes them feel more at ease.But now, she and the teacher are really far away from each other, and they don't know if they will meet again.

When she was sad, she would go to Heshengtang to find her grandfather.

Even if you don't talk and stay with grandpa, you will feel much better.

Not to mention Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan is really smart.He has only been less than eight months old, and he can imitate everyone's expressions and movements: he can imitate grandpa's squinting, Fubo's laughing, and imitating her puffing his cheeks... If you tease him, he will laugh, and he will be soft Rubbing people's faces with their little hands.

As long as I see Xiao Yan, I forget all the troubles.

Until the sun was about to set, and the herbs drying in the medicine garden had to be harvested, Chang Suyi reluctantly kissed Xiao Juyan on both cheeks, and hurried out of the Heshengtang.

Little Juyan was tired from thumping, so he fell asleep in his grandfather's arms again.

Deng Gu wanted to go forward and carry the baby back to sleep in the cradle, but seeing the old man looking down at his great-grandson's sleeping face, he didn't move at all, he seemed unwilling to let go, so he didn't bother.Looking up at the clouds in the sky, he guessed that the wind was going to blow up, so he went back to the house and took a thin quilt, approached lightly, and put it on for the child.

The shadows of the trees on the stone slabs gradually elongated.

A woman with a deep purple dress and a left arm hanging down stepped on the orange-gold sunset and walked in.Fu Bo saw his heart skip a beat, it was only a little late.

The woman has passed through the empty courtyard and came under the ancient locust tree.

The old man who was taking a nap under the tree with his great-grandson in his arms opened his eyes.

I don't know the reason—maybe her father's white hair is too dazzling, or maybe it's because the evening photo in May is too lonely, or because the twilight is miserable, and the cicadas' singing is too shrill...Chang Huaixuan burst into tears.

"father--"

She knelt in front of Chang Jihai, her whole body prostrated on the ground, her forehead was heavily pressed against the ground, and she hadn't gotten up for a long time.

Her face was buried in the deep purple dress, and she wept repressedly, choking up and saying nothing, "Father, my daughter knows her mistake, please forgive my unfilial daughter."

Chang Jihai had been looking forward to this "Dad" for 15 years, a belated repentance, but it finally came.

As the evening breeze passed through the corridor, Uncle Fu felt his cheeks were wet and cold, and he raised his hand to wipe it, only to realize that his face was full of tears.When he saw the old man sitting quietly under the tree, tears welled up in his eyes.

The dark color is thin, and there are magpies returning to their nests together, living on the ancient locust tree.

Xiao Juyan, who was full of sleep, opened his eyes at this moment, "Hey—" he looked at the white-bellied birds flying in groups in the sky above his head, and let out a laugh.
