Chapter 101 Yun Ming
"Mother, I know about this child, I'll tell you later, but we don't want to talk about it in front of the child." Su Cui hurriedly took over the words, Liu Shi hurriedly nodded, and handed Xiaoqiao'er to Hongxing, Let her take her home quickly.

Seeing that the child was gone, Lu's eyes were still staring in the child's direction, and he muttered suspiciously, "Why do I see this child so resembling Qing girl when she was a child? His eyebrows and eyes look more and more similar."

Su Cui hurriedly said: "Mother, you read it wrong, the child was adopted by the eldest brother and sister-in-law. The child without parents, the eldest brother and sister-in-law thought it was pitiful and adopted it."

"Really?" Mrs. Lu was still skeptical, and kept staring at Mrs. Liu, who became unnaturally stared at by her, and lowered her head.Lu's suspicion became more and more suspicious, "Are you really adopted? But why do I feel that this girl looks exactly like Qing girl when she was a child?" As he spoke, he pointed at Liu's in disbelief as if he suddenly remembered something, and said, " This can't be the little girl from your brother and sister's family, right? The one who was sold by her when she was just born?"

Seeing that she had talked so far, Mrs. Liu knew that she couldn't hide it, she would be discovered sooner or later, and besides, Xiaoqiao'er would grow up slowly, so she couldn't be kept from coming out to meet people. "Mother, Qiao'er is indeed the little girl born to my younger siblings. At that time, my younger siblings didn't want this child. When Jin'er heard this, she couldn't bear it, so she took Qiao'er back from the midwife, and then brought her home. You Said that I can throw the child out again? I saw that the child liked it, so I stayed and raised it as my own daughter. "

After hearing this, Mrs. Lu did not start scolding, but said lightly, "At that time, I didn't want her to sell the child. No matter what, I had to work hard to raise it, but your brother and sister wanted a baby with all their heart. Son... Well, there's nothing you can do about it, because her stomach doesn't live up to expectations... Forget it, since you want to raise it, then let's raise it."

Mrs. Liu couldn't believe it, she never thought Mrs. Lu would be so talkative! "Thank you, mother." She said softly.

Mrs. Lu waved her hand, picked up her luggage and got into the carriage, and went back to Liushu Village with Su Cuiniang.

It's not that the Su family sisters don't know that the Lu family is going back today, but because they have something else to do.Su Tang went back to Han's house because of Han Chen's request. Anyway, her second aunt also left, so Liu Shi let her go back. After all, she was a married girl, and staying at home all the time would make her feel uncomfortable. people joke.Su Jin is not at home because of Su Shuang. She is fifteen today, and she is going to offer incense at Yunchan Temple. Afraid that she is looking for that monk Yunming, Liu asked Su Jin to go with her, but Su Jin was not at home. Shuang refused to give in, Su Jin begged several times to no avail, Su Jin became more and more suspicious, and decided to go out with her secretly.

The first and fifteenth day of every month is the busiest time for Yunchan Temple. People come and go like a market, but a lot of people does not mean it is noisy. On the contrary, Yunchan Temple is very quiet and everyone is sincere. Those who come to offer incense and pray for blessings will naturally not be as noisy as shopping in the market.

Su Shuang brought Qiuliang and Qiuye into Yunchan Temple, first went to the main hall to worship as usual, then came out to the front of the Marriage Hall, hesitated for a while and went in, her face was not very good when she came out, and the two maids persuaded her A few words, soon relieved.At this time, Yun Ming would lecture on scriptures in one of the main halls in the backyard, and Su Shuang would listen to them as usual.Su Jin also followed in secretly, today she was wearing a veiled hat, although Da He and Xiao He followed, they were both far away from her, so that it was convenient for her to follow.Now that she was sitting at the back, Su Shuang probably wouldn't be able to tell even if she looked towards her for a while, not to mention that she had been staring at Yunming since she came in and sat down, and never looked back at all.

After a while, when the lecture was over, everyone dispersed slowly, but Su Shuang sat there without moving, Yun Ming smiled and walked towards her, Su Jin didn't dare to stay for a long time, so she went outside the door to hide Overhearing, I heard Yun Ming first ask her if she understood the scriptures just said, and then asked why she didn't come these days, Su Shuang frowned, said back home that there were too many things to do, and then nothing else.

The two stood up and left the hall one after the other, and walked towards the back mountain. Qiuliang and Qiuye followed far behind. Su Jin wanted to follow up and listen, but she was afraid of being discovered, so she had no choice but to give up.Da He and Xiao He followed up, and the master and servant sat there waiting for Su Shuang to come back from the back mountain.

About an hour or two later, Su Shuang came from the back mountain with two maidservants. Su Jin was so bored that she wished she could bask in the sun and take a nap. Xiao He pulled her sleeve anxiously, "Girl, the second girl is here." .”

Su Jin was startled, quickly covered her hat, turned around, and hid behind the others. Fortunately, Su Shuang didn't think about that at all, and left in a hurry.When she was far away, Su Jin came out from the crowd, looking at her back, wondering what she was thinking.Da He stood beside her, "Girl, do we have to go back too?"

Su Jin turned her head to look in the direction of the back mountain, shook her head and sighed, "Don't go back yet, you wait for me here, I'll go to the back mountain to have a look."

There are many flowers, plants and trees in the back mountain, as well as mountain springs and streams. Even in June, you can feel the coolness. The mountain wind blows, and the path is covered with petals and leaves, which creak under your feet. .There is a path beside the main road in the back mountain, which is full of weeds, as if no one has cleaned it all year round, but you will find that the path is not long, and there are a few huts at the end, surrounded by fences. Yunming's residence.

Standing on the path and looking in, there are trees planted inside and outside the yard, with peach trees on the outside and a few plum trees inside, Su Jin couldn’t see clearly from far away, but I just think this is an excellent place, It's like a paradise, isolated from the world, but when she thinks of the people living here, she can't help but let out a long sigh.

"Are you here to do something?" After standing for a long time, she heard a voice in front of her. Su Jin looked up and saw Yun Ming standing in front of her, looking at her with a smile. His face was young and full of vigor under the sun. Looking at this face, no one would think that he should be a monk.

"Why do you want to be a monk?" She couldn't help asking.

Yun Ming was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "If you sow a cause, you will reap the fruit. All of this is predestined."

"Then can you not be a monk?" Su Jin said, "Is it possible? Or, is there anything or someone who can make people give up their destiny and return to vulgarity?"

Yun Ming seemed shocked by the word "returning vulgarity", and remained silent for a long time.Su Jin spoke again, "I want to know, what kind of feelings do you have for my second sister?"

"I don't know." Yun Ming smiled wryly and shook his head.

"I have to know, Great Monk, do you know that my second sister is sincere to you? Just like I said just now, are you willing to return to vulgarity for her?"

Yun Ming didn't speak or speak, he seemed to be thinking, but also seemed to be in a daze.Su Jin was in a hurry, "You are such a big man, you can tell me if you can do it, do you really want to go on like this with my second sister? What is going on with you? Monk, let me ask you, Are you sure to miss my second sister's life?"

"No, I..."

"Then hurry up," Su Jin said seriously, "Do you like my second sister?"

Yun Ming nodded immediately, and Su Jin asked again, "Since this is the case, have you ever thought about how you, as a monk, will make my second sister happy? Can you marry her? Can you give her a home?" ?"

This question was too direct, and seemed to have a sharp spearhead, piercing Yun Ming's heart at once. He looked far away, and for a long time, he didn't know what he was thinking.

"You are a monk. You should not forget this. You have a close relationship with my second sister. This should not be the behavior of a monk. If you really can't return to secular life for my second sister, then yes Can't you stay away from her? I believe you don't want to see her being pointed at because of your sadness, or fleeing into Buddhism like you, right?" Su Jin said intentionally, "You Buddhists should not understand What does it mean that dependent arising is extinguished, and dependent arising is empty?"

Yun Ming looked down into her eyes, his eyes were clear, "I understand what you mean, from now on, love and parting, resentment and resentment, and letting go will be nothing, but eyes full of vain, an illusion."

"You have seen it clearly." Su Jin sighed, "I have read a few Buddhist scriptures, and I remember that there is a sentence in it that's life is like being in the middle of thorns. ;If the heart is moving, people will move rashly, hurting their body and hurting their bones, so they experience all kinds of pain in the world!' You have already moved your heart, and you will inevitably hurt your body and bones. You can read about empty flowers and all illusions, but I The second sister is afraid that she will die of grief."

Yun Ming's face clearly flashed a struggle, but it was too difficult for him to return to vulgarity. He grew up in a mountain temple since he was a child, how could he step into that world of mortals again? "Please take good care of her." Yun Ming turned around resolutely, but Su Jin grabbed his loose monk robe, "You still can't let her go."

"I just said that everything is false."

"I know you have her in your heart, just like she has you in her heart. Could it be that she can study scriptures every day for you, but can't you give up this robe for her?" Su Zhen is also very contradictory now. Knowing whether to persuade them to join or separate, she thought before that if she used the second sister as a threat, maybe he would waver and give up the current identity for the second sister, but she was wrong, this man has his own obsession, maybe , and his own difficulties, but what should the second sister do?If she knew Yun Ming's choice, she would be very, very sad.

"The Buddha said: From love comes sorrow, from love comes fear. If you are separated from love, there will be neither worry nor fear."

"You..." Su Jin was a little annoyed, "What's the use of all this nonsense you said? Don't you know that people are not grass and trees, and who can be ruthless? My second sister is already in love. Do you think you said something like this? Wouldn't she be sad about that? Since you can say this now, why did you come to provoke her? Did you want to kill her?"
