Fair Lady

The "Young Master" in black is Yu Zhengran who practiced "Wandering Dragon Sword Art", and the man in gray behind him is his servant Zuo Qing.

Just as he ignored the disdainful Zuo Qing, he was looking at the delicate and focused little face far away at the moment, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly unconsciously.That delicate figure and the huge boulder volleying in the sky, one soft and one firm, in the misty mist, it is really a special scenery.The little girl was still described as small, but she had an outstanding demeanor, exuding, uh, fairy air.

Seen from here, she should be painting. At this moment, she seemed to be fascinated by a certain scene. She stood up, and a gust of wind happened to blow by. The little fairy drifting away with the wind made him suddenly feel like rushing to grab her.Well, she is just a little fairy, otherwise how could she "float" up the mountain so easily?

"Young master? Young master?" Zuo Qing urged softly, "It's time for us to go in. The time for Mr. Yu to make an appointment with Abbot Rukong is coming soon."

"Well, let's go." Zhengran took another look at the small figure on the boulder in the wind, turned around and walked towards Yuquan Temple.

Here, Shuqing and the others dragged their heavy legs up the last step to the top of the mountain, just in time to see Lan Jin put away the drawing board.Only then did he recall that Lan Jin seemed to be carrying a heavy burden on his shoulders, which turned out to be a drawing board.

Shuqing took a few deep breaths, and then asked in surprise: "Sister Yao'er brought a drawing board, did you already draw a picture when you came up?

Shuyao smiled and said: "No, it's just that the scenery here is so beautiful, I'm happy to see it. It's just a few strokes."

In fact, Shuqing really wanted to see the painting that Shuyao had just painted, but from Shuyao's indifferent demeanor and tone, she knew that she didn't intend to share it with others, and the blue brocade was about to be packed, so she couldn't ask others to Open it again.However, the doubts in my heart became deeper and deeper. This little cousin seemed to be more and more difficult to see through, and the more I looked at it, the more difficult it was.Because of more than two years of contact, she is very clear.Shuyao is by no means a person who can bluff, and she must be planning to draw when she comes with a drawing board, not to show off.

People who show off are not scary, they put all their bottoms on there, and people who hide and keep a low profile are scary!You have no idea what and how much he has.

Shuyao has no time to care about Shuqing's emotions.Mother Liu and Mrs. Yang also came up, and she quickly went up to meet them: "Mrs. Yang, Mother Liu, come, take a rest under the big tree here, drink some water, and then we go in."

Mrs. Yang almost fell down on the stone chair: "It's really not as good as every year. I didn't have such weak legs before I came up?"

The servant girl next to her handed her the water bag, and said with a smile: "Madam, you didn't notice. You are walking fast today, and the time you spend is short. It's less than an hour now, and it took us more than an hour to come up before." Woolen cloth."

Mrs. Yang was pleasantly surprised: "Really? Ah, I really didn't notice it, but I couldn't see Yao'er in front, so I followed Mama Liu to catch up. Seeing Mama Liu walking easily. I didn't feel that we were going well. How fast, the wives and wives who came together before were slower than me. I thought I was quite fast. Hehe, it means that when climbing a mountain, you still need to find someone who is faster than you. "

Mother Liu smiled and said: "Isn't that the reason? Our girl told the second young master that if you spend more time with people who are stronger than you in school, you will see your own shortcomings and become stronger and stronger; If you are with people who are weaker than you, you will feel that you are quite strong, but the result is getting weaker and weaker."

Mrs. Yang pondered for a while, then took a deep look at Shuyao: "Sister Yao is Linghui, this is so good, I will talk to those two boys in my house later. I feel like I’m capable. If Yao’er and Wen’er are half as well-behaved and sensible as they are, I’ll burst into laughter.”

The two sons of County Magistrate Yang are 12 years old and 8 years old.Mrs. Yang really likes Shuyao, and intends to order Shuyao for her eldest son.

The three brothers and sisters of Shuyao have a strong backing and considerable wealth (the three brothers and sisters of Shuyao have quietly purchased a lot of houses, shops, and fields in the past two years. No one else knows, but the county magistrate Yang knows. Because the property registration needs to go to the county government) , the future of Shujie Shuwen is promising again, Shuyao is the only girl in Xia Zhai, Shujie brothers put Shuyao first in everything, and when Shuyao gets married in the future, the dowry must not be underestimated, and there are two more powerful Brother, will be a great help to the future husband's family.

However, there are two completely different evaluations of the three brothers and sisters in Xia Zhai. One is that they are blessed. You can see the changes in Xia Zhai in the past few years. They are delicious tofu and soy milk, white tiger and red fox, and The mansion favored by the empress dowager, the precious dragon fruit that no one else can grow...

Another way of saying is that these three brothers and sisters are hard-fated and restrained relatives, otherwise how can they restrain their parents to death, but they are getting better and better?From now on, whoever marries Brother Shujie or Shuyao will be killed if they fail to do so!

I heard that this statement came from the second room of the Xu Mansion. Hasn't Xia Zhai's relationship with the Xu Mansion been very good?Why are such words spread?Could it be that they really found out that Shuyao's three brothers and sisters were hard-fated, that's why they didn't let Shuyao continue to study in Xu's mansion?

She would rather believe it than believe it, Mrs. Yang felt that she had to take a closer look, she couldn't let her son be killed if he didn't borrow his strength.

This is also the reason why she urged Shuyao to come to listen to the scriptures with her. She wants Master Rukong from Yuquan Temple to help her see how Shuyao's fate is.

After resting for a while, several people entered Yuquan Temple, and a young novice greeted them: "Mrs. Yang, there are still two quarters of an hour for Master Jingxuan's lecture, so why don't you come to the reserved meditation room and drink some tea first?" When the time is up, the little monk will lead the benefactors to the reserved seats.

Shu Qing was really thankful that she went to Xia Mansion that day, and today she was able to come with Mrs. Yang together with Shu Yao, and only then did she have a reserved place to rest, drink tea, and have a reserved seat in the meditation room.If not, at this moment, I would be the same as those people who were scattered on the stone benches and the grass next to me. I don't know if I can squeeze in to listen to Master Jingxuan's lecture, right?

A group of people followed the little novice monk into a relatively large meditation room, which is still a "suite". The main room of the large room can accommodate four people except for the kang facing you. On the small kang table are steaming teapots and several In addition to the teacup, on both sides of the room, there are three chairs against the wall. There is a small tea table next to it, and there is a big teacup on it.

In the side room next door is a small chanting room, with a small Guanyin statue directly above it.

This is a meditation room specially prepared for great pilgrims to rest in Yuquan Temple. Obviously, the kang is prepared for the masters, and the chairs against the wall are for attendants and maids.The meditation room looks simple, but it is very good to have such treatment in the monastery.Now it is not so obvious in summer. In winter, the kang is hot and there is hot tea. Naturally, those ladies and ladies who climbed up the mountain with cold hands and feet can find a warm feeling and enjoy the superiority of the big pilgrims. .

The front hall is too crowded and noisy, and those who need to recite the scriptures many times can also recite or wish in the chanting room in the side room. The location of each special meditation room is arranged according to a specific orientation, and enjoy the same incense as the main hall , is the "mind" interlinked.

However, the Buddha statues offered in the chanting room of each meditation room suite are different, so the pilgrims themselves need to inform in advance which Bodhisattva they come to worship when booking the meditation room.

For example, Mrs. Yang believes in Guanyin Bodhisattva the most. This time, the statue of Guanyin is enshrined in the meditation room where they live.

Mrs. Yang invited Madam Liu, Shuyao and Shuqing to sit on the kang together, drinking tea and chatting.When Ms. Liu said that Shuyao had fasted for three days before coming, Mrs. Yang and Shuqing were shocked, and even the little novice who was waiting by the door couldn't help but glance at Shuyao.It is rare for a girl of this age to worship the Buddha so sincerely. Even if she comes, she is usually brought along by her elders, or just to play with her.

Not to mention them, Mother Liu thought at first that Shuyao just wanted to come to the mountains to play, but unexpectedly she was serious, and she even burned incense and took a bath in a decent way, and then fasted for three days.

What they don't know is that Shuyao went to the Famen Temple in the capital with Yao Xuelan, the wife of Weiyuanhou, to listen to Master Jingxuan's sutra lectures in her previous life.Back then, Master Jingxuan said that she had the fate of Buddha, and that life would be a catastrophe, and the root of the catastrophe lay in her own obsession.

In the first rebirth, Shuyao believed that there is a Buddha with destiny, luck and calamity. She never thought about asking the master to give her some advice and let her avoid any calamity.She believed that there was an arrangement in the dark, and she couldn't avoid it if it was hers, and she couldn't even think about it if it wasn't hers.She just wanted to listen to Master Jingxuan's lectures on the scriptures and dharma, so that her mind would be at peace and avoid obsessions that she shouldn't have.In her previous life, she was too obsessed with the so-called family status.

In this world, if I have any obsessions, my eldest brother and Shuwen are my deepest obsessions. She wants them to be well and always be well. It doesn't matter how rich and beautiful they are, but they must be healthy, happy, safe, Happiness, no one can bully them arbitrarily and kill them like in the previous life.

In the previous life, I owed the book, and I owed my elder brother even more.In this life, she lives for her eldest brother and Shuwen, and she wants to protect them!To help them become stronger.

Shu Qing only had one feeling, once again she felt that she had lived two lifetimes and couldn't understand the nine-year-old little cousin in front of her.

……

After chatting about a cup of tea, the temple bell rang, and the little novice came in: "Blessings, the lecture will start soon, please move forward, and the little monk will take you to the main hall of the lecture."

Shuyao and the others were a group of people who entered the hall earlier, they were seated in the front, and the futons they were kneeling on were all newer and thicker.Shuqing secretly slandered: All living beings are equal?People in the world can never be equal, they are not equal from birth, some are noble and some are humble, some are rich and poor, some are born and some are concubine, some are beautiful and some are ugly, some are smart and some are fools from birth... In Buddhist temples where all living beings are equal, great pilgrims and ordinary pilgrims are not treated equally. How can they be equal? (To be continued.
