Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 36 Worshiping the Bodhisattva

Liu Man'er felt that clothes really depended on people. If she was dressed in rags like last time, these people would definitely ignore her. Fortunately, all three of them wore new clothes today. Although they were all made of ordinary fabrics, at least tidy.

No wonder, every time she goes out to go to the market, Fang always asks herself to pack up.

It seems that it still makes sense.

After buying the incense sticks, Liu Man'er went to the bookstore she went to last time to buy a small writing brush. Maybe Liu Man'er impressed them last time, but this time this person even knew her. After all, Liu Man'er introduced a Job: copying books!

Liu Man'er didn't want to agree at first, if she copied the book, she would be exposed, but she thought of Ye Feng at home, so she agreed again.

The young man's handwriting is fairly neat. It just so happens that the family has no money to buy extra books for him. By copying books like this, he not only reads the books, but also practices his handwriting, and can also make money. Why not do it?

The shop owner originally wanted Liu Man'er to pay a deposit, but Liu Man'er said that her family was poor, which may be because of Liu Man'er's good performance last time. return.

Liu Man'er nodded in agreement, and took papers and books from the shop.

For the first cooperation, the shopkeeper gave Liu Man'er a low price. After copying a book of about [-] pages, it was only [-] cents, but the selling price of such a book was at least [-] cents.

Some books are more expensive, so the scholars are very expensive, and reading is very expensive. Except for some scholars from families, few people can be admitted to the scholar. One of the reasons is that poor children cannot afford books.

Generally, they seldom sell books. After they have a good book, they pass it on among their classmates, or copy another copy by themselves.

Liu Man'er's family didn't have any books. Since Ye Feng was studying, except for the enlightenment books that the school asked to buy, the rest of the books at home were copied by Ye Feng borrowed from his master's books.

Unintentionally getting such a good opportunity this time, Liu Man'er was overjoyed, she put the book in her arms comfortably, went to the town, asked the salt official to buy salt, and then went back.

Originally, she planned to buy some meat and rice noodles, but because she was afraid of dirtying the paper in her hands, she didn't buy these. Anyway, if she had money, she would just let Ye Yuan come over to buy them.

After all, she is also a woman, so let these men do the heavy work.

Along the way, the three of them got what they wanted. Although they didn't buy food this time, they were still very happy along the way. It can be said that they went home happily.

In the evening, when Ye Feng came home, Liu Man'er told Ye Feng about this matter, Ye Feng was also very happy and readily agreed.

Normally, he would only come back after studying in the school for a while, but now that Liu Man'er gave him this job, he decided to come back early in the future.

Seeing his delighted expression, Liu Man'er warned, "Feng'er, the reason my sister-in-law asked you to copy books is not because she wants you to make money for the family, but because copying books has too many benefits."

Liu Man'er said in an orderly manner, "Firstly, copying books can improve your handwriting, and secondly, it can also increase your knowledge. After all, our family doesn't have the money to buy too many books, so I suggest that you don't think about it when copying books." You are making money, but think that you are doing learning, and I hope you can copy two copies within ten days, one for the store, and one for our own home, so slowly, we There are more books at home."

"Well, don't worry sister-in-law, I will work hard." Ye Feng nodded, holding the book rather fondly.

Seeing him like this, Liu Man'er smiled and nodded at him, and he went back to his room to copy books.

This Liu Fusheng also followed behind him in a desperate manner.

After Ye Feng left, Liu Man'er asked about the Fang's temple fair, "Mother, do you know that there is a Guanyin Temple near here?"

"Of course I know." Upon hearing Liu Man'er's words, Fang said, "Have you forgotten? Mother took you to a temple fair before."

"Is there?" Liu Man'er didn't remember much, and after carefully thinking about it in her mind, she couldn't think of the so-called temple fair.

"Of course I did, and I brought you to burn incense in front of the Bodhisattva." Fang showed a smile on his face, and suddenly slapped his head and said, "Oh, I almost forgot, the day after tomorrow is the birthday of Goddess Guanyin, don't blame me , Madam, don’t blame me.”

As Fang said, he clasped his hands together and bowed in front of the empty air.

Liu Man'er saw it and said, "Mother, don't make bows here now, why don't we go to the Guanyin Temple to worship tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" Fang looked at Liu Maner strangely.

"Yeah, tomorrow." Liu Man'er smiled slightly, "There must be a lot of people on the day of Guanyin's birthday. Let's go early to prove our sincerity."

"Well, you child, it makes sense to say that." After hearing Liu Man'er's words, Fang nodded and said, "Alright then, I'll take you to worship Buddha tomorrow."

"Okay, anyway, there's nothing to do tomorrow, so we'll all go for a walk, and we'll treat it as a spring break." Liu Man'er said, "Fusheng and Xiaohe must be bored at home, too."

When Fang heard what Liu Man'er said, she naturally had nothing to refute, and said, "Whatever you say is what you say."

Ye He, who was sitting by the side, had a joyful smile on her face when she heard Fang's words. Normally, she was the housekeeper, and she didn't have the role to go out to play.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Fang steamed steamed buns in the kitchen for everyone to eat on the road, packed some valuables and incense sticks, and then led the whole family out, only Ye Feng and Ye Qing If one wants to study, naturally one cannot take them there.

Along the way, the sky was blue, the grass was long, and the seedlings in the ground also sprouted green shoots. The breeze was blowing, and it was neither cold nor hot. The whole family was talking and laughing, and they were in a very good mood.

Liu Man'er was holding Ye Tianchen in her arms, while Ye Yuan was leading Liu Fusheng and Ye He. Fang walked in front, and when she met someone by chance, she greeted her warmly.

"Hey, where is Auntie Ye's going?" A familiar woman came to greet Fang warmly.

"Go to Guanyin Temple to offer incense." Fang would explain to everyone with a smile.

"This is your son and daughter-in-law?" The woman asked again, then turned her head to look at the child in Liu Man'er's hand, and said, "Oh, you have grandchildren in the blink of an eye, boy or girl?"

"Boy." Fang replied.

"No wonder, I saw that your daughter-in-law has become a mother, she is really different, she seems to be a bit smarter." The woman turned her eyes to Liu Man'er again.

Liu Man'er nodded to her and smiled slightly.

The woman also looked at her benevolently, and praised Fang for being blessed, and then passed her by.

Along the way, I often meet such people, they are all from the next few villages, we often work together, and most of them know Fang.

But Liu Man'er didn't know anyone, she could only listen to other people's comments on her, and then smiled at them.

The road that Fang took was not the one leading to the town, but a small road that passed through several villages. No wonder so many people greeted her along the way.

However, walking this way is fast, and after walking about four miles, we arrived at the Guanyin Temple.

At this moment, there are already many people in front of the Guanyin Temple, many monks are preparing for the next temple fair, and some laymen are also helping to arrange the outside of the venue.

It's not yet the day after tomorrow's grand meeting, but it already looks very good. One can imagine how lively it will be when the real ceremony starts.

After burning incense, lighting the ever-burning lantern again, and leaving the hall, Liu Man'er secretly asked, "Mother, on the day of the temple fair, will there be many people here?"

"Of course." Fang said quite proudly, "When the time comes, let's not talk about the ten miles and eight fragrances, many people from the county will come here."

"Oh." Liu Man'er nodded, and asked again, "Is it because the temple here is very effective?"

"Of course it worked." Fang's face showed a smile, "I said last year that I would bless my family safe, bless Yuaner's safe return, and bless God to open your roots of wisdom for you. Look at this year, haven't all my wishes come true? .”

Uh……

Liu Man'er had nothing to say.

It's just that she saw that the temple seemed to be quite large in scale, and it was indeed a bit unusual in this remote village, so she asked again, "Mother, what is the origin of this Guanyin Temple? I think this temple is quite For the Grand Sumu, when was this built?"

"I don't know when it was built. I just heard that a princess once lived here, so this Guanyin Temple is bigger than other places."

Fang said this with pride on his face, "Maybe it's because of this reason, and another, this Guanyin Temple is also effective, so every year when the practice meeting is held, many people will come here. At that time, it was lively."

"Oh, then I'll come back when the time comes." Liu Man'er looked at the radiant look on Fang's face, and she was looking forward to it.

In her previous life, she wasn't interested in these temple fairs at all, but now that she wants to come and see them, it's pretty good.

"Well, yes, then you can bring Xiaohe and the others to visit." Fang nodded, but she also quite agreed, "Although this temple fair is held once a year, but it is as grand as this time, it needs to be held every three years." It will only happen once a year, and it will definitely be very lively."

"Every three years? Mother, how do you know so much?" Liu Man'er didn't understand these things.

"Yes, this kind of small puja is held every year, but there are not many people. For this kind of big puja held every three years, monks and aunts from other temples will also come. , from a distance, it really looks like a fairyland, but it's very lively."

Speaking of that temple fair, Fang's face was full of longing.
