Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 327 The female relatives gather together and look at each other with admiration (3)
The old monk turned out to be the abbot of the temple, but on the way to the main hall just now, the luxurious cassock was scratched by a tree branch, the little novice took it back and mended it, and hurried over after it was done , Unexpectedly, the abbot himself had already arrived at the main hall.

"Let's go!"

The abbot stretched out his hand to put on the cassock, clenched the bodhi beads in his hands, and walked forward with dignified steps.

It was only after Ji Chonglian passed by that she really felt a little embarrassed. There was no seat for her among the 49 futons. In front of each futon, the position of the wife or girl was written on yellow paper. It is impossible to randomly occupy others. s position.

But Mother Pei was at the front, she didn't seem to notice her embarrassment at this moment at all, and Ji Chonglian couldn't go around the crowd to find Mother Pei, so she froze in place for a moment.

"Mrs!"

Even An Ye's eyes darkened, and a look of anger rose on his face.

Ji Chonglian finally knew what Mother Pei's intention was, not to mention the lukewarm airing of her like that, but now she is deliberately making her look ugly.

But if her face is lost, will Pei's mother be honored?
Ji Chonglian frowned deeply, but slowly shook her head.

Mother Pei is afraid that she will think further, maybe at this moment, Mother Pei will lose face, but in the long run, if she can't resist those cynicism and strange eyes, if she feels that she is not worthy of Pei Yan and asks to go, this is probably the right thing to do. Mother Pei's real purpose.

But Mother Pei obviously underestimated her.

"Just stand here, don't panic!"

Ji Chonglian turned her head and told An Ye in a low voice. The other two maids were waiting for her in the carriage, but An Ye would never leave her side. After getting along for a while, the master and servant gradually grew closer. There is a certain tacit agreement.

"Hey, it's that old monk just now."

An Ye was suddenly surprised, and Ji Chonglian followed her gaze. Sitting on the high platform in the main hall was the presiding abbot wearing a red cassock. Could it be the amiable old monk who spoke to her just now.

The abbot's eyes obviously also swept over to Ji Chonglian's side, everyone was already seated, and she was the only one who stood abruptly at the end, no one could help but look at him in surprise, the abbot frowned slightly, and confessed to the little novice next to him After a few words, Ji Chonglian saw the little novice running towards her in the blink of an eye.

"Female benefactor, the abbot welcomes you!"

The little novice came to Ji Chonglian, clasped his hands together and saluted respectfully.

Ji Chonglian didn't shirk, and greeted the abbot's gaze from a distance, and followed the little novice.

The high platform where Master Abbot sat was in the shape of "Pin", and the abbot's virtue and prestige naturally ranked the highest, but his left and right sides were left empty. The abbot pointed to the futon on his right, smiled and said to Ji Chonglian: "This lady The almsgiver has a predestined relationship with the Buddha, please sit down!"

As soon as the abbot finished speaking, there was an uproar in the hall, some whispered, some were surprised, and some even looked at him with a trace of jealousy.

Who is Master Abbot? Even the master host who is respected by the royal family when they visit here is not something that ordinary people can afford. Set up an unsurpassable weathervane!

Mother Pei's eyes were staring straight. Even though she was unwilling and surprised at the moment, she could only watch from the sidelines. She couldn't tell everyone at this time that she was my daughter-in-law, but what was she doing just now? went?
Ji Chonglian was hesitating whether to accept the abbot's invitation, when a middle-aged woman stood up in the crowd, her cheeks were a little sharp, her eyes showed dissatisfaction, and her tone was extremely displeased, "Master abbot, this... ...We don't know each other, so how can she sit next to Grandmaster, isn't it too unfair?"

This woman seemed to speak out what everyone was thinking, and everyone echoed them one by one.

"Yes, who is she?"

"Why hasn't everyone seen it?"

"Which family is this wife or grandma, why don't you report your family name?"

"..."

Miss Huang anxiously tugged at Mrs. Huang's sleeves. It was time for Pei's mother to come out to clarify the introduction, but the old lady just sat still, probably determined to see her daughter-in-law's jokes .

Mrs. Huang glared at her daughter, and said in a low voice, "You don't care about other people's affairs!"

She has sensed Mother Pei's dissatisfaction with her daughter-in-law since just now, but she is a smart person, even if she knows, she won't point it out, each family has its own affairs, she doesn't need to meddle in it.

Besides meeting by chance, I don't know if there will be another intersection in the future, let's take a look at it now.

Miss Huang was so anxious that she rubbed the Luopa tightly in her hand, and looked at Ji Chonglian nervously and worriedly.

There were endless discussions, and Pei's mother's complexion was also a little pale and white. She wanted to make Ji Chonglian embarrassing, but it was not such a big mess. Now she is really stuck, in a dilemma.

Now come forward to recognize Ji Chonglian, I am afraid that everyone will look at her with a deep taste, but if you don't recognize Ji Chonglian, what will Master Abbot think of her after knowing it?

The image she has worked so hard to build over the years, as well as the support of Master Abbot and all the wives and wives, is it going to disappear with her inconsistency in words and deeds?

Those people may not dare to say it in person, but they will always say behind their backs, look, that is the old lady of the Pei family, she is dedicated to the Buddha, but she speaks a snake heart, and looks at her daughter-in-law in embarrassment and embarrassment. , It's really knowing people, knowing faces but not knowing people's hearts!

Mother Pei's heart tightened, and the rosary in her hand was squeezed so loudly that a lady beside her turned her head to look at her in surprise.

Seeing the upsurge of public opinion, Mother Pei's hesitation obviously didn't make up her mind whether to rescue her, but Master Fangzhang still had a smile on his face, as if this matter had nothing to do with him, depending on what Ji Chonglian said.

Old fox!
Ji Chonglian cursed secretly in her heart, mother Pei is not counted on her, but this old monk looks kind and kind, why is he so treacherous, it looks like he exalts her, but he puts her in dire straits, And no one can give her a hand.

An Ye who was behind her was very anxious, but this scene was not like dancing with swords, she couldn't use any strength at all.

"Everyone!"

Ji Chonglian cleared her throat, her voice was not loud, but it was like an ice arrow suddenly shot into boiling water, that silent power immediately made everyone quiet.

Ji Chonglian smiled lightly, "Since everyone has met and met here, it is a predestined relationship. The Buddhist family attaches great importance to the method of fate. The little lady is lucky. I would like to discuss a Buddhist scripture passed down in my family with everyone."

"Hey, does this person know how to preach scriptures?"

Immediately, there was a curious voice from the crowd, and Miss Huang couldn't bear it any longer, she immediately stood up to support Ji Chonglian, "All of you here are famous wives and wives, no matter what else, let's listen to the Buddhist scriptures before we talk, there are so many of us , you shouldn’t be careful to embarrass a woman, right?”

Miss Huang secretly blinked at Ji Chonglian, but Mrs. Huang pulled her daughter down and sat down, secretly blaming her for being troublesome, but she also became interested in the Buddhist scriptures Ji Chonglian said.

Those who can gather here still have some understanding of Buddhism, and they don't know what the Buddhist scriptures handed down by Ji Chonglian's family are like, can they attract everyone's attention?
Ji Chonglian turned her head and nodded slightly to the abbot, "Master abbot, can you?"

"Female benefactor, please!"

Master Abbot raised his white eyebrows, obviously interested.

Ji Chonglian glanced at Pei's mother. At this moment, her face had turned livid, her eyes drooped and she gritted her teeth secretly. Ji Chonglian couldn't help but sneered in her heart, but her face was also indifferent. She turned around and said to everyone: "This sutra is called "The Lotus Sutra of the Wonderful Law" It is said that the perfect teaching of one vehicle shows the purity of righteousness, ultimate perfection, and supreme subtlety. Everyone knows that the "Lotus Sutra" is the teaching method taught by Buddha Sakyamuni in his later years, and it belongs to the perfect teaching method of opening power and showing reality. The size is the same, and the secret is harmonious, which shows that everyone can become a Buddha. In the five-time teaching judgment, it belongs to the last time of Fahua and Nirvana. Because the content of the scriptures is supreme, it is clear that there is no distinction between the poor and the poor. Rich or poor, everyone can become a Buddha, so the "Lotus Sutra" is also known as the king of the scriptures. The key to the "Miaofa Lotus Sutra" is the four characters "Miaofa Lotus", and "Miaofa" refers to a Multiplication and non-duality, "Lianhua" is used as a metaphor to vividly talk about where the "wonderful" is. Its special features are firstly that flowers and fruits are at the same time, second is that it emerges from the mud without staining, and the third is restrained Not revealing..."

Ji Chonglian's voice was up and down, and she grasped the priorities very well, as if she was narrating a paragraph, a song, or a story, gradually becoming fascinating.

At first, some people didn't care, but gradually, everyone's attention was attracted, or sighed softly, or felt that the state of mind suddenly became clear, those pasts that they didn't want to mention, those long-stalked things in their hearts The knot in the past suddenly became clear, and the difficulties and obstacles ahead seemed not so overwhelming.

Until the sound of Ji Chonglian's last word was finalized, everyone still couldn't recover for a long time.
