Chapter 376 Burning Incense
Beginning with Emperor Taizong, Buddhism and Taoism were both emphasized in the Darui Dynasty, but because the royal family worshiped Taoism more, Taoism still overwhelmed Buddhism.
However, because the teachings of Buddhism are more dependent on the common people, Buddhism is still developing very well.
Especially since Emperor Ruishun ascended the throne, there have been natural and man-made disasters from time to time. Many people are precarious, so the people put their hearts on the Buddhist school. into it.
Therefore, the incense of Zhaoguo Temple in Kyoto has become more and more prosperous over the years.The limelight is directly pressing on the Taiqing Palace located near the imperial city.
Especially during the Chinese New Year, there will be temple fairs for seven days in a row, and there will be an endless stream of believers, which is very lively.
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, after breakfast, the servants of the family paid new year greetings to Qingzhu and Qingshan. Qingzhu and Qingshan took the red envelopes they had prepared a long time ago, handed them to everyone in person, and gave a few words of encouragement , let them work diligently.
As soon as the servants thanked the green bamboo and the green shirt, Pei Zimo came over again, saying that he would go out together with the green shirt to pay New Year's greetings.
After Qingshan went out, Qingzhu had a gentle talk with everyone, and then gave everyone a holiday, let the servants arrange their own affairs, and in the first few days of the new year, they took turns to go out to play.
After hearing Qingzhu's words, the servants thanked them again with tears of gratitude, and then went down to discuss and assign matters by themselves.
There is nothing else to do, and because they are newcomers and Qingzhu is a woman, it is not easy to go out to pay New Year's greetings, so Qingzhu is a bit boring.Moreover, Princess Anle said earlier that before the fifth day of the new year, most of them would not be able to come to her place and play with her.
So, bored, Qingzhu took Lian'er, Tian Xiaohua and Xue Hongmei to go out together, and was going to visit Zhaoguo Temple. When she was about to go out, she happened to meet Yu Damei, so she ordered Yu Damei to go with her.
Zhaoguo Temple is only two squares away from Tongrenfang. If you walk, you will arrive there in two quarters of an hour.Qingzhu and the others didn't bother to hire a car, so they just walked and walked all the way.
Outside the Zhaoguo Temple, there has long been a sea of people, those who buy all kinds of snacks and gadgets, jugglers, fortune-tellers, all gathered together, it really is very lively.
It was rare for Qingzhu to visit this kind of place, and for a while, it was a bit dazzled. After walking for more than an hour, it finally occurred to him that he had already arrived at the gate of Zhaoguo Temple, so he should go in and burn a stick of incense.
This Zhaoguo Temple is indeed a temple with a good reputation among the common people. Although it is located in the capital and has been blessed by the Darui Dynasty and successive emperors many times, it is not expensive to burn incense.
In fact, incense does not require money, as long as you follow the merits when you enter the door, even if you only throw a penny into the merit box, you can get a stick of incense in the hands of the wise guest at the door.
After entering the temple gate, not only Qingzhu put money into the merit box, but also Tian Xiaohua, Xue Hongmei, Niu Lianer and others.Even Sister Yu took out a couple of pennies from her handkerchief, and respectfully put it in the merit box.
Two pennies is not much to many people, it is just money for a steamed bun, but sister Yu entered Qingzhu's house empty-handed, and it has only been a few days, and the monthly money has not been paid yet. The red seal that Qingzhu just gave this morning.
It seems that before the heat is covered, there are no more than two pennies.If it was used in other places, Yu Damei would feel distressed, but when she put it in the merit box, Yu Damei didn't show any reluctance on her face, instead she showed a faint sense of pride.
With such a big life, I always hear people say that if you burn incense, worship Buddha, and put merits into the merit box, you will be blessed by Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and everything will go smoothly.In the past, she was very envious, but firstly, she never had half a copper in her hand, and secondly, she had to work for many years and couldn't go out, so she never went to the temple to worship. Pass the Bodhisattva.
Now, not only did she come to the largest temple near Shangjing, and she had the opportunity to worship this Buddha and Bodhisattva, but she also donated such a reward. For her, it was really something to be happy and proud of.
Qingzhu and the others lit incense outside the main hall, held the fragrance in their hands and respectfully made three bows in the direction of the main hall, then put the incense in their hands on the big incense burner outside, followed the flow of people, After entering the Daxiong Palace, I worshiped the Bodhisattva and kowtowed.
After worshiping the Bodhisattva, just as Qingzhu was about to get up and go out, an old woman in plain clothes on the left, who was kneeling and prostrating, suddenly let out an ouch and leaned back as if her legs were weak.
The floor of the Daxiong Palace is paved with bluestone slabs, and the old woman is not young, so it is unknown whether this person can stand up after falling down like this.
Fortunately, Qingzhu was right next to her, in a hurry, he turned around and bowed his back slightly, letting the old woman fall on his back.
The old man was quite rich, but his body was not light, and the strength of falling down almost made Qingzhu unable to support him. Fortunately, Tian Xiaohua and Xue Hongmei were quick-sighted, and came together to help Qingzhu.
"Old madam! Are you alright?" As soon as the incident happened here, two people dressed as maids ran over not far away, and hurriedly lifted the old madam from Qingzhu, ignoring the same situation as Qingzhu. Thank you, looked at the old woman, and asked eagerly.
"I'm fine." The old woman waved her hand at the maid, looked at Qingzhu again, and said gratefully: "Little girl, I was really thanks to you just now."
"It's just a small effort, don't take it to heart." Qingzhu shook her head slightly, and said politely.
The old woman smiled slightly, looked at the green bamboo and said: "For you, little girl, it is a piece of cake, but for me, the old woman, it is a life-saving grace, Gui Zhi, please thank this little girl for me. "
The two maids were still in shock, after hearing what the old lady said, one of them hurriedly supported the old lady, and the other girl named Guizhi blessed Qingzhu, and said: "Thank you, miss, for saving my old lady. " While speaking, he took out another money bag from his bosom, handed it to Qingzhu respectfully, and said: "This is a little kindness from my old lady, please accept it."
Looking at the size and shape of the bag, if there is silver in it, there must be dozens or even hundreds of taels.
Qingzhu was slightly taken aback, she had never seen such a direct expression of gratitude, she quickly waved her hand and said: "I accept the old lady's wishes, but this one is unnecessary."
"This is what you deserve. The old woman thinks that Guizhi is too small for her. It's just that the money I brought today has been donated to meritorious deeds, so only this small change is left. Don't be too little, little girl. Take it." The old woman leaned on the maid who was supporting her, put most of her weight on the maid, looked at Qingzhu and said with a smile.
Qing Zhu gave way a few more times, the old woman saw that Qing Zhu was indeed not accepted, so she gave up, but thanked Qing Zhu again.
Naturally, Qingzhu said that she didn't dare, and said that since the old lady was fine, she would go out first, and she came to Zhaoguo Temple after a long time, so she had to take a good look around.
The old woman only thought that Qingzhu was the daughter of those ordinary people, and she was often detained in the house, so she let her go with a smile, while the old woman herself interrupted her three kneeling and nine prostrating prayers. , to pray again.
The maid's persuasion was useless, so she had to say: "Madam, why don't we support you to pray, you have been in poor health, the Bodhisattva will understand."
Just when she was about to walk out of the Daxiong Palace, Qingzhu heard such a sentence, she took half of her steps and shrank back.
