The concubine is enchanting: the favorite princess

Chapter 87 His name is Chu Qingchan

In the early morning, Fengyao, Miaozhu and other bhikkhunis had morning classes together.During this period, a little master named Huizhu said: "The benefactor in the South Chamber wants to ask for some Zen tips." After hearing this, Miaozhu answered them one by one.

Feng Yao also frowned and thought about those questions, and only after hearing Miaozhu's explanation did he suddenly understand.For a moment, I felt that the benefactor who asked about Zen was also a man of great wisdom, and he was able to ask such mysterious Zen principles, and I was very impressed.

When the morning class was over, Feng Yao passed by the South Chamber on his way back, and unconsciously slowed down to take a look.It's just that although the door of the South Chamber is open, there is a curtain on the door, so you can't see what's going on inside, and you don't know who the wise benefactor is.

Just as Feng Yao walked away, the curtain in the south room was raised, Mrs. Chu, who had a kind face and a kind smile, was supported by Chu Qingchan, and stepped out the door.

Chu Qingchan held his mother's arm with both hands, and persuaded: "Mother, you have bad legs and feet, you should rest in the house. Qian Qingchan has already delivered the sesame oil for charity. In addition, Qingchan asked someone to make ten The winter quilt, ten pairs of thick-soled cotton shoes, someone will pick them up on the mountain tomorrow."

"Okay, Qingchan has a heart. As a mother, I just went to ask Master Miaozhu for Buddhist teachings, and then asked about the important matters of retreat. It is not easy for Master to come to my little South Chamber. This is also sincere, and I am happy to go there in person." Mrs. Chu was saying. As he spoke, his feet flashed suddenly, and he almost fell to the ground.

"My lord mother!" Chu Qingchan cried out in shock, supported her mother firmly with both hands, and then used her body to hold her, so as not to let her fall to the ground.

But Mrs. Chu was still thrown back. Although she didn't cry out in pain due to her status, her face turned pale, she bit her lips tightly, and cold sweat dripped down.

"Mother, go back to the room first, and Qingchan will show you." Chu Qingchan hurriedly sent his mother back to the room with half support and half hug.The room is simple and not soft, so I had to put my mother on the bed.After pressing and massaging her mother's waist a few times, Mrs. Chu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Qingchan, my calf is also hurting badly, please help me take a look."

"Okay." Chu Qingchan agreed, and reached out to roll up her mother's trousers, feeling a pain in her heart.I saw that my mother's leg was already swollen, and it didn't recover after pressing the small hole with her finger for a long time.

Qing Chan said: "My lord mother walked too fast when she went up the mountain, her legs are still swollen. Why don't Qing Chan carry mother down the mountain immediately for treatment."

Mrs. Chu shook her head and said: "It's okay, it's just that I'm old and my recovery is slow. I think I could ride a horse and shoot arrows when I was young." After saying that, her face was full of smiles, and she said, "I can't go see Miaozhu now either. Master, I’ll just sleep in this room for a while. Qingchan, you’d better fetch water. The masters in the nunnery are all women, so if you can do more rough work, do more.”

"Yes. The mother rests, and Qingchan goes to fetch water." Chu Qingchan said, still not at ease, and helped her mother massage her calf a few times, then put down her trousers, turned and went out.

Going around to the well in the small vegetable garden, Chu Qingchan picked up the bucket and immediately remembered the scripture pages floating on the water yesterday.The clear and beautiful handwriting seems to blend with the beautiful shadow of the ancient pine in the early morning.

I couldn't help looking at the back window of the west wing again, but today the casement was closed, and there was not even a person on the window paper.Chu Qingchan was dazed quietly for a moment, then shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly, and concentrated on fetching water again.

Chu Qingchan didn't turn back to the South Chamber until all the water tanks in the nunnery were filled with water.At this moment Mrs. Chu had already got up and was talking to Master Miao Zhu who was in charge of the courtyard.

Chu Qingchan knew the salute, saw that Miaozhu did not go in the house, but just saluted at the door, and then quietly stood outside the door with his hands down.That's because he was afraid that he, as a man, would talk to Miao Zhu in the same room and miss Miao Zhu's Qingxiu.

Listen to Miao Zhu said: "Ms. Chu is really polite. You have added a lot of money for sesame oil, this time I also gave you winter clothes and quilts, and the Qing Chan benefactor fetched water for the nunnery every day. Everywhere is a good deed of practice. Master There is still half a month left before leaving the customs, and Miao Zhu will naturally tell Master about Mrs. Chu's wish."

"Then I would like to thank Master Miaozhu. I can take refuge in Zhujing Nunnery, and I can meditate for my husband and my son in this life. It also fulfills one of my wishes." When it comes to her husband and son, Mrs. Chu is so graceful. There was a deep sadness on his face, and the circles of his eyes were red.

Miaozhu persuaded: "Everyone is mortal, not to mention that General Chu and Junior General Chu both sacrificed their lives for the country. Mrs. Chu is also a righteous person. Naturally, she knows the truth that the country is more important than the family. As a monk, Miaozhu *They are all praying to the Buddha, that there will be no killings, and that the people will be healthy. The Buddha has a spirit, and he can purify the hearts of the world, and everyone will be kind, and the hostility will naturally disappear."

After speaking, Miao Zhu stood up and said goodbye.Mrs. Chu got up to see her off, and suddenly remembered something again, she begged Miaozhu: "In recent days, I have dreamed every night that my husband and my son are fighting bloody battles in the battlefield. I wonder if Master still has the same appearance as last time. Incense, burn one so I can fall asleep."

Miao Zhu said: "That incense is the Daigo incense from the Western Regions. My master still has two. But I don't have any. However, dreams are the image of the heart, and Mrs. Chu should calm her mind first."

Having said that, Mrs. Chu still showed a disappointed expression.After all, practicing Zen and meditating is not a day's work, but being unable to sleep every night is the most torture.

When Chu Qingchan heard her mother's words and saw her disappointment, she felt very distressed.He bowed to Miao Zhu and said, "Master Miao Zhu, does he know where I can buy that kind of incense? Qing Chan immediately went down the mountain to buy it."

Miao Zhu thought for a while, and finally shook her head.In fact, she is a monk, so she rarely asks about these worldly affairs, so how can she know where to buy incense from the Western Regions?

"There... is there no other way?" Chu Qingchan was also embarrassed.I regret that I didn't smell and take a look at the incense that Miaozhu gave to my mother in advance, and now I don't even know what it looks like, and I have nowhere to find it.

"Perhaps there is another way." Seeing the disappointment on the faces of Mrs. Chu and Chu Qingchan, Miao Zhu couldn't bear it, so she said: "The benefactor in the West Chamber is a master of perfume, even if he can't find the daigo from the Western Regions, Xiang, why don't you ask the benefactor to try to make a fragrance that can calm the mind and help sleep, it is not difficult to think about it."

"West chamber?" Chu Qingchan's heart trembled, and his eyes lit up.It seems that there are thousands of Buddha lights shining everywhere, leading him to a very bright sea of ​​flowers.

"Thank you Master Miaozhu. I wonder if I can ask Master Miaozhu to accompany Qingchan, and ask that benefactor for some incense to help my mother sleep?" Chu Qingchan respectfully bowed to Miaozhu to the end.

"Miao Zhu should accompany her. It's just... that benefactor is quiet and doesn't like to be disturbed. Miao Zhu can only introduce her. As for whether I can ask for the incense made by her, it's really hard to say."

Chu Qingchan immediately nodded his thanks, then turned to Mrs. Chu and said, "My lord, wait a moment, Qingchan will ask for it now."
