Fair Lady

When the three of Shujie first arrived in the capital, Yao Xuelan thought about taking them to Famen Temple to offer incense, donate some lamp oil money, and ask for the blessing of one side of the gods.

Jin Xida immediately agreed, and said to Shujie: "Jie'er, for the first time, you should go too. It happens that you will offer two ever-burning lanterns to your parents at Famen Temple. After you come back, you can concentrate on preparing for the exam." Under normal circumstances, it is women who bring their children to offer incense, and men seldom go.

Shuyao hastily interjected: "Father, there are three lamps, and auntie's." Their mother, Zhen Zirou, respected her deceased wife Zhao Shi very much when she was alive. Jie went to visit the grave, and later Shu Yao and Shu Wen followed, and Yen Zirou asked them to call Mrs. Zhao "Mother".

Jin Xida was stunned for a moment, and smiled apologetically: "It was the adoptive father who was negligent, and there should be three. You are going to offer incense this time, just ask Mrs. Hou to ask for help. If you can, just offer it directly. Jie Er, take care of me." Some sesame oil and silver."

Shujie agreed.

Before Shujie could remember anything, his mother went there. He had no memory at all. In his heart, Yen Zirou was also his mother.But when Zhen Zirou was pregnant with Shuyao Shuwen, he often asked him to accompany her to talk to her younger brother or sister in her belly, and told her that when every mother is pregnant with a child, she puts all her love into it. Back then His mother must have cared for him so carefully when she was pregnant with him, and talked to him every day. His mother tried her best to give birth to him healthy and healthy, but her body suffered a lot, so she died so early, so he had to Always remember my own mother and love her forever.From then on.In Shujie's heart, there are two mothers, both of whom are equally close.

Early the next morning, Shuyao's three brothers and sisters set off with Yao Xuelan, along with Xia Ruoyun, Zhang Xu, and Xiaowu Mu Yongjing.

Most of the temples in Dazhou are on the mountains, and you basically need to climb the mountains to offer incense. Famen Temple is an exception. It is located on the outskirts of the capital, on flat ground.

It is said to be 1000 years ago.At that time, the world had not yet been unified, and regimes changed frequently. There was a massacre in the suburbs of Beijing, and nearly [-] people died.

In order to suppress the evil spirit, save those dead souls, and avoid turning into ghosts and disturbing the balance of the three times, the Buddha enlightened an eminent monk at that time.That is, the first abbot of Famen Temple built Famen Temple on that land. Legend has it that the peach trees surrounding Famen Temple are the peach blossom eight trigrams array that traps [-] souls.

Others say that since Famen Temple was built, it has experienced many wars, but no army has ever dared to harass and loot Famen Temple.Because as long as they are near the temple in armor.You will see the peach demon blocking the way, and thousands of ghosts crying and rushing towards them.

Famen Temple not only prevents disasters.Wishing and drawing lots are very spiritual, so incense has been very popular for thousands of years.

There is a hall in Famen Temple dedicated to pilgrims offering long-burning lamps to deceased relatives. However, because the supply is in short supply, the price of sesame oil can only be increased, and it depends on whether the horoscope of the person to be enshrined matches the boundary of the place.

The Marquis of Weiyuan is a great pilgrim of Famen Temple.The annual offering of incense and silver and the cost of lighting the ever-burning lanterns are more than a few thousand taels, when Shuyao and his party arrive.A Zhike monk had long been waiting at the door and led them to the meditation room specially prepared for great pilgrims.

Take a rest in the meditation room, drink some tea, and the Zhike monk leads the way, guiding them to burn incense and make wishes.Shuyao followed behind Yao Xuelan and Xia Ruoyun, following them very seriously.Shuyao's wish is very simple, that is, to hope that her elder brother's trip to high school and adoptive father will be smooth and safe, that she will return to Beijing as soon as possible, that Shuwen will be healthy, and that the whole family will be safe and happy.Afterwards, Shuyao asked Jin Xida for a peace talisman.

As soon as the safety talisman was carefully placed, the abbot of Famen Temple came over in person: "Amitabha, Uncle Jingxuan said before he went out for a wandering trip last month that a little friend will come today, and let the old monk personally receive him. Little benefactor, please Provide the birth date of your father and the two Lingci to the old monk, so that people can offer eternal lamps to them immediately."

Shuyao and the others were dumbfounded, little friend?Master Jingxuan actually called Shuyao a little friend?Moreover, the master still thinks that they will come today, and they want to offer the eternal lamp to their parents?

Shujie was the first to come to his senses: "Amitabha, thank you to the presiding master, and thank you to Master Jingxuan!" After the ceremony, he quickly took the pen and paper handed over by the little novice, and wrote the names and birthdays of Xia Linxuan and the three of them.

The abbot took the paper with a smile on his face, glanced at it, and his heart was shocked: Sure enough, the uncle was right, this Xia Linxuan...

The secret must not be leaked, even the uncle said that people outside Fangfang should not talk too much, and he can do nothing to help, it can only depend on the good luck and fate of this family.

With a calm expression on his face, the abbot, the abbot, still smiled kindly: "When everything is done, there will be a novice to take you there. Little benefactor, can you take a step to speak? Uncle Jingxuan has a sentence for this old monk to convey to you."

Yao Xuelan and Xia Ruoyun hurriedly said: "Master has something to tell Yao'er, let's go out first." After saluting, they took Shujie, Shuwen and others out of the hall, and even Mother Liu pulled Lan Jin Back out the door.Master Jingxuan had a reminder, and the abbot, the abbot, conveyed it in person. What a blessing, they were naturally avoiding it. How could the abbot avoid it?

Yao Xuelan covered her heart with her right palm, with an excited expression on her face: "Master Jingxuan really values ​​Yao'er, Amitabha." How many people can really get advice from Master Jingxuan this week?

Xia Ruoyun also smiled brightly: "Our Yao'er is a good child, a child who has the fate of Buddha." Her three nephews and nieces are all blessed, otherwise she was like that at that time, how could she survive?And that crimson lip that was dying.

In the main hall, Shuyao's heart was beating fast, and the tightly clenched palms told her that she was very nervous at the moment.Master Jingxuan is an expert in the world, even the master abbot in front of him is a man of Taoism, those clear eyes seem to be able to see through everything.Master Jingxuan could have counted that they would come to offer incense today as early as a month ago, and even counted that they would offer the eternal lamp. Then, can it be seen that she returned to this world with hatred?

Otherwise, why did Master Abbot avoid the crowd and talk to her alone?

The abbot, the abbot, didn't know if he noticed Shuyao's nervousness, but he still said kindly: "Little benefactor. Uncle Jingxuan asked me to bring you a sentence: Be yourself, don't lose your heart, and, good and evil There will be a reward in the end, and you have to forgive others and forgive others."

Shuyao was taken aback for a moment, and then she saluted respectfully: "Thank you, Master, for your instruction!" Could it be that Master Jingxuan knew about the gift she was going to prepare for the Murong Mansion?

Shuyao's lowered eyes and pupils shrank, so in the previous life, did the master know what the Murong family did to her mother and her?Did you remind them?

People from other places talk about benevolence and kindness.When is it time to repay grievances with kindness, and repay grievances with injustices, but... she is a person in the world, and she cannot escape.What she can do is to repay kindness with kindness, complain with complaints, and not hurt the innocent.Do not take the initiative to harm others.

Seeing Shuyao raised her head, there was a touch of detachment and determination on her childish face, and she walked out step by step with firm steps.The abbot, the abbot, sighed secretly, the uncle had already said that good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and the law of nature recurs.There are many things that they cannot and cannot stop.Reminding that sentence is already the limit of what they can do.There was coldness in the child's eyes, but she did not lose the warmth of affection. I believe she has a sense of proportion.

Shujie and others outside Hou Zai's hall saw Shuyao coming out with a smile on his face, but they didn't ask any more questions. Since they were avoiding everyone's point, they naturally couldn't say anything.

Back at Xia's mansion, another toothmaid happened to send someone over.Xia Ruoyun and Mother Liu went to the front to choose.Shuwen went to the garden to practice martial arts, and Zhang Xu and Xiao Wu also followed to observe.

Shuyao remembered the question Aunt Lan asked about Xia's tofu business in the carriage today.There was also Nian'er's nostalgia for Xia's soymilk and bean brain at the wedding a few days ago, and he talked to Shujie about opening a tofu shop in the capital.

Shu Jie thought for a while: "It's not impossible to do it. Aunt Mei was worried that the capital would cost a lot, so she also thought about it, and she even asked Uncle Qiang and Aunt Qiang to go to the tofu workshop to learn for a few days. I heard that Uncle Qiang used to I have learned it, and now I am doing it better than Aunt Mei. It is better to let the two of them take care of the tofu shop. Now that there is a concierge and a coachman, the adoptive father said that it is better to let the nurse who is familiar with the roads of the capital and knows martial arts. .”

"Besides," Shu Jie thought of another question, "We have to send two carts of soybeans to Yulin every once in a while, which will inevitably arouse the suspicion of interested people. If we open two stores in the capital, the capital is so big, and the demand must be great. It is reasonable to say that purchasing in large quantities is cost-effective.”

Shuyao's eyes lit up, and she continued, "Brother, we can also buy a Zhuangzi in the capital and set aside some land to grow soybeans."

"Well," Shujie thought more and more feasible, "Our house is so big, there is an open space on the west side, which happens to be close to the side door, tonight I will discuss with my adoptive father to build a warehouse there, and all future purchases will come back or come from All the soybeans sent back from Zhuangzi were put together in the warehouse. We told our adoptive father that Xia’s tofu was delicious because we made special treatment for the soybeans. When I publicly made tofu, I hugged you to take advantage of it. People accidentally added something to the soaked soybeans."

This is what they said to Aunt Mei, Mrs. Ajuan, and Mrs. Sun before they left Yulin. At that time, Mrs. Ajuan laughed: "I guess that's the case, or else I grind the soybean milk at home, and the procedure is exactly the same. , Why doesn’t it have any flavor? The only difference is that the soybeans used in the tofu workshop are all from the warehouse in your house.” But this is the key secret, and Ajuan and Sun’s daughter-in-law will naturally not ask.They all rely on Xia's tofu workshop and tofu shop to have a good life now, especially Ajuan, if it weren't for Shujie's help, the family would have been broken up by that talented lady earlier.

Sister-in-law Ajuan's mouths were tightly sealed, and they also knew that if Shujie and the three of them hadn't done it for their neighbors who lived by working in the tofu workshop, they could have shut down the tofu workshop in Yulin County and gone to the capital to do it.

Not to mention Aunt Mei, she had already guessed that the Shujie brothers and sisters had dealt with the soybeans, because after they moved out of the small courtyard, every time they bought soybeans, they had to be transported to Xia Zhai's warehouse first, and Shujie and Shuyao You have to see it for yourself.She thought, the young master and the girl must have used some secret recipe to process the soybeans.

If it wasn't for the three brothers and sisters Shujie going to Beijing, Auntie Mei would definitely not let Shujie tell this story to Ajuan and his daughter-in-law to ensure that Xia's tofu shop can only use the soybeans that Shujie and the others sent back from the capital. As a matter of fact, she was still brooding about the last time the Xia Mansion asked for the secret recipe of making tofu.Those people are very shameless, if they find out, they may make some troubles.

The two siblings agreed that when Jin Xida came back that night, they took him to the study and talked about opening a tofu shop.Jin Xida has no objection, he also misses the taste of tofu nao: "Yao'er, how long will it take you to process soybeans, let Uncle Qiang make some for the foster father tomorrow, hehe, thinking of the taste, the food in the stomach of the foster father The gluttons have all been hooked up."

Shuyao had an expression of "I knew it": "Yao'er asked Uncle Qiang to buy soybeans in the afternoon, processed them, put them away overnight, and Uncle Qiang will make them for his adoptive father tomorrow morning."

"Okay, okay." Jin Xida rubbed his nose, and put on a proud look of "having a girl is everything": "Why don't you say that the girl is a little padded jacket?" It was asking him for a talisman, and thinking of what he wanted I'm eating tofu brains, hehe, it's nice to have a daughter! (To be continued.
