Heroes of the Sons and Daughters

Chapter 60 Recognizing the Futon Illusion and Worshiping the Family Temple
This book explains clearly all the way, carved bows and inkstones are separated and reunited for no reason, and then reunited and divided; the unreasonable bow comes with the inkstone, and the inkstone goes with the bow.Although the things are finally together for a while, the people are not yet together, but An Long, who is restless, wants to work hard from the sages of the Bible, and He Yufeng, who is determined to practice, wants to find work from the ancient temple Qingdeng.I don't know if it's because the idler from Yanbei played with the brush for no reason, and I don't know if it's because of the creation of God to trick people.Last time, it took infinite setbacks to get An Longmei's side settled properly, but this time the book is reversed and it will talk about He Yufeng's side.

But it is said that since He Yufeng lived in the Anjia Cemetery by guarding the spirit of his parents, he has been accompanied by his adoptive mother-in-law, Mrs. Tong and his wet nurse, and Mrs. Zhang has taken care of serious matters, and there are many maidservants to attend and accompany her. , but not quite cold.Mrs. An's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law often come to chat. Besides, Mr. Zhang is out to take care of the house, and only Mr. An occasionally comes to socialize. No one else comes here.It has really become a clean courtyard where "the Zen gate hides the fallen leaves, and the Buddha seat keeps the cold lamp".

Seeing that they live in peace with each other, the girl can't just ask about the temple.

It's just that he was born with a restless nature, relying on his acquired heart, how can he overcome his innate nature.Why didn't I also get a censer at the beginning, and burn it with good incense, and those who sat there and listened to it wanted to sit like a "ten-year-faced wall"; Like ten thousand horses galloping, they jumped off the kang early.Seeing him like this, my uncle and wife felt distressed and funny at the same time.At that time, he was making the pair of shoes for his adopted daughter in his hand, so he asked him to follow him, either heating the soldering iron, or scraping the pulp.I couldn't help it, so I put down my work, went out with Mrs. Zhang and two maidservants through the corner gate of the Yangzhai, and walked around for a while; Eat, also ask him to follow along with scratching.When he comes late, he will tell some old stories and old stories, which will make him sleepy and sleep well; when he can't sleep, he will be scratched and patted by him once he is so big, and sometimes he is still in his arms If you can't sleep, the uncle and wife are not impatient.In those few days, the girl's face was maintained to be as red as white, smooth and full of bubbles, and her heart was carefree, comfortable and peaceful.People say it's my uncle's and wife's sympathy for the orphan girl. I only think that this is the cause and effect of God's revenge on the filial daughter.

Lie Gong, just looking at his experience, I think it is a bit better than entering the court, ascending the altar, and being a golden boudoir!How do you say this?Life in this world is like lightning, and when it comes to building morality, making speeches, and making meritorious deeds, isn't it an immortal career?But you also have to have that blessing to enjoy that immortality; without that blessing, but if you have a delusional mind, you will definitely suffer something.Even if I have that blessing, if I calculate it, my life is limited and catastrophes are boundless, so it is better to be at peace with the situation, not to be greedy for profit, not to seek fame, not to do wrong, not to do evil, not to lose my natural disposition, to take advantage of the present opportunities, It is also a fairyland.

Quoting the words, the storyteller suddenly thought of a joke: It was once heard that there was a man who had great virtues and boundless achievements in his life, and he threw himself in front of the palace of the king of hell.The King of Hades asked the judge to check his "Book of Good and Evil".The judge reported: "This person's "Book of Goodness" is piled up like a mountain, and there is no word in "Book of Evil." The king of Hades only looked at the reasons for his "Book of Goodness" and said, "This man's merits and virtues are extraordinary. I dare not let him down here, so I have to report to the meritorious service officer on duty, and play it to the heavenly court, and ask the Jade Emperor to decide." When he was young, the meritorious service officer on duty took him to the heavenly court, and played it to the Jade Emperor.The Jade Emperor saw it with his heavenly eyes, and he said to the man: "For such a meritorious deed as yours, even I have no rules to attract, so I have to break the rules and show kindness. I can do whatever you want, and I will make you happy." " The man thanked the Jade Emperor, bowed his head and thought for a while, and said, "I don't want to be an official, I don't want to practice Zen, I don't want to cultivate immortality. I hope my father will be the number one scholar of Gongqingzi, and I will earn ten thousand hectares of farmland and ten thousand yuan of money to buy some The secretary’s ancient paintings are rare and elegant, and the delicacies and wines are displayed in famous gardens. I and my beautiful wife and concubines are full of laughter in front of the lamp. Don’t talk about people’s livelihood and national economy, don’t talk about human relationships, don’t talk about firewood, rice, oil, salt , just talk about endless dreams within dreams, what to think about and what to think about, and talk about the 12 years of the earth. When it is opened up again at that time, I will still return this good home mountain to me!" The Jade Emperor hesitated Said: "As far as your good destiny is concerned, this is not a delusion. I am afraid that there are no such people in the world." He said: "The world is so big, why not have it! There must be." The Jade Emperor was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately He lifted himself up and left his seat, turned around and bowed to him, and said: "I've always only looked at this kind of people, since you know there must be some, great, may I ask where is this family? God, let me go to the lower realm to reincarnate!"

According to the sound of this joke, according to such circumstances, the Jade Emperor still couldn't wish for it, so wouldn't He Yufeng's current situation be considered a happy place in his life?Who knows that God blesses a good man, and what he has perfected is more than this!This is something to say later, let's not mention it for now.

Let's say that the uncle and wife only spend their time with girls like this, and in a blink of an eye, they passed their old age early and it's New Year's Eve again.My uncle and wife hurried home for a walk a few years ago, and came back after finishing cooking.Because the girl is in production, but it's not New Year's Eve, Mr. and Mrs. An also gave him a lot of food, fruit, candy and so on.The uncle and wife and Mrs. Zhang brought maids and servants to coax him to wipe the dominoes, throw the winning map, grab the number one prize, plus cook the pastry and make New Year's dishes, and they never had a leisure time.On Mr. An's side, the young master has grown up, and Zhang Jinfeng has been added to bring his son and wife to celebrate the new year. Naturally, there is a new atmosphere.It's nothing more than lively and noisy, and there is no time to write in detail.After New Year's Day, my uncle, wife and Mrs. Zhang went to pay New Year's greetings separately, and Mr. An and his family also came back and forth to pay respects and see the girl.

The first month of the month was hurriedly passed, and in mid-spring, when the spring day was long, one day, Mrs. An had nothing to do, and her daughter-in-law, Ms. Zhang, came over and sat down to talk for a while.Seeing the family outside carrying two boxes, the uncle and wife said: "What is this for? The New Year is over, and the festival is over, so why don't you give gifts to our girls again?" Mrs. An said with a smile: "Not really Giving gifts, I am today [扐掯: mandatory restraint, meaning to embarrass others. Here is the meaning of trouble.] Your girls are here." Pointing to Zhang Jinfeng, he said: "Our in-laws know it, I married this When my daughter-in-law was in Huai'an, I was so busy at that time that I was about to finish my work, and I didn't have a chance to make some jewelry and clothes for him. Now that I'm home, it's been a long time, so I just sorted it out The big clothes are all handed over to the tailor, and some inner clothes and some shoes are not easy to hand over. I have a constant work at my place, and I think that my aunt and our in-laws will grow up in vain. , help me, relieve the boredom again."

Mrs. Zhang sees Zhang Luo and his daughter, is there anything she doesn't want?Quickly said: "It's so." The uncle and wife said: "Auntie, you wait, let's discuss it. In your two parents' families, one loves the wife and the other loves the girl. I will let my girl not tie it up. What coolies did I pay for you! How much do you pay me?"

At this time, Miss Yufeng was very uneasy when Master Chengan and Mrs. An treated each other, and she wished to make up for it by taking advantage of some incidents. After hearing what her uncle and wife said, she said, "Mother, don't say that, we are also doing it every day." I'm idle, it's all about the family, why do people ask for wages? If you are afraid of being tired, I will help you make arrangements. Anyway, at this moment, you can sew a seam, tie a belt, and nail it. I also made the button loops." Then he said to Mrs. An: "Madam, just keep it, my mother won't, I will answer for the old man." Mrs. An said repeatedly: "Very good! "

Zhang Jinfeng came over and wished him all blessings, and said, "I've got to work on my sister. I'll thank my sister first, and kowtow to my aunt when I'm done."

Miss Yufeng laughed and said, "Who are we? You still talk to me about it!" The uncle and wife looked at it, and then said with a smile: "Forget it, let my niece and daughter-in-law share and help my aunt and wife." .” Then he asked someone to open the box and put away one by one.The girl also helped to go home.He only cares about being happy, and keeps talking, never dreaming that what he is raising is his own dowry!From the second day on, he urged his uncle and wife to do it.Then the uncle and wife made some arrangements, and distributed them to the servants and maids one by one, and she and Mrs. Zhang also did it by themselves.The girl looks at this and helps there. She has nothing to do and feels that life is going well.

One day, it was a cloudy day, and suddenly it began to rain cats and dogs.The uncle and wife said: "Look at the rain, it's very dark. Let's take a break from work today, get something to eat, and spend the cloudy day." Mrs. Zhang said: "What cloudy day do I spend? You let me put Let the girl finish with this sole." As he spoke, he took the hemp rope in his hand and pulled the needle off.He was facing the door, squinting his eyes, but he didn't sew it on for a long time.

Then Yang and Hua Ling'er said: "Good boy, you sew for me. Look at me, I don't need it." When the girl saw it, she grabbed her hand and said, "Bring it, sewing a needle is worth the trouble." !" As she said, she sewed it up with both hands, threw it to Mrs. Zhang, turned around and left, saying, "I'm going to help my mother with the cooking." After walking two steps, Mrs. Zhang yelled and said "Girl, come back, I have such a big needle, you sewed it, and we left half of it for me? Where do you go for the half?" The girl was also surprised when she heard this. Ling'er looked around, Hua Ling'er bent down to pick it up from the ground, and said: "Isn't it? This half is underground!" It turned out that the girl was busy with sewing, so she put a little effort on her fingers and belly, and she just picked it up. I cut a big needle in two, and when I saw it myself, I didn't feel like laughing.

Don't mention trifles.But it is said that Mr. An settled down the girl, and when he got time here, he chose a day to build a wall and plant trees on the grave of Mrs. He and his wife, and at the same time secretly arranged the temple he was looking for for the girl.At that time, Deng Jiugong's reply was followed, saying that he would leave on a certain day and arrive in Beijing on a certain day.In his free time, Zhang Jinfeng replied to his parents-in-law that he had explained the whole story to the son.The old couple were delighted when they heard this, and they inevitably encouraged and taught the young master.At this time, the son is "Liu Lang from the past is here again", so there is no need to be so shy, but to obey his orders and wait for the auspicious date.

Time flies like an arrow, the sun and the moon fly like a shuttle, just waiting for busy eating rice dumplings and eating moon cakes, in a blink of an eye, seeing that the Double Ninth Festival is approaching, it is time to eat flower cakes.Master An was a little relieved when he saw that he had a clue about everything.Then he discussed with his wife and wanted to go over and have a talk with Miss He Yufeng to make it clear.At this time, Lie Gong naturally wants to hear that Mrs. An and his wife met Miss He Yufeng. Where did they start talking about it?And please stop, this cannot be said in a few words.Now wait for the storyteller to explain the manor of An's family first, and when He Yufeng comes over, the gentlemen will not be able to distinguish the family and the path after listening.

It turned out that there were originally three manors in his family, all meandering from the West Mountain.The one at the end of the west is a huge courtyard, with only a few huts with bamboo fences, vegetable gardens and rice fields. Water is brought in from outside the wall to irrigate the rice fields and vegetables.The one to the east looks like a garden pavilion, with several places between bamboo trees, springs and rocks. The general situation is like the Shili River outside Guangqumen and the Baishi Villa outside Xizhimen. Dreams and dreams of Luotian Palace and Immortal Cave Mansion.

Since An Taiweng's death in these two schools, Mr. An's family has fallen due to family affairs, and the population is small. Bian Dian lives with a donated class candidate Taoist Shi Guan who is usually in the banner. The one further to the east is Mr. An's current residence. .

The front of his house faces a mountain peak in the distance, and there is a source from Hutuo and Sanggan in the southeast, which flows to the northwest and pours into the garden.There are countless firs, elms, pagoda trees, and willows, reflecting the clear stream.Entering the gate, along the group of houses along the road, there is a white wall in the north, a gatehouse with tiles and four screens in the middle.Go into a courtyard, because there is a big flower hall in the west garden, there was no hall building here at that time, only seven waist rooms in a row.

The two rooms on the left and right have convenient doors, and the hall is in the middle. The two rooms on the east are where Mr. An sits quietly, and the two rooms on the west are the red tents where Mr. An and his students give lectures.In the courtyard, there is another guest seat in Xiangximenli, which serves as a study room for the young master in Xiangdongmenli.After passing the waist room, there is a hanging flower in the hallway and two doors, and you enter the Chaoshou veranda.The five main rooms are the inner rooms of Master An and his wife.From the corridor to the east courtyard, Mr. an lives with Miss Zhang. When his uncle and wife come, they live in the same house in the west courtyard.The back floor of the upper room is in the middle of the Buddhist hall, and the rest of the rooms are used as spare rooms, where things are piled up and servants and maids retire.Behind the Buddhist hall is a large mountain of earth and rocks, which bounds the inside and outside.There is also a small corner door that is locked and cannot be opened, which is the way for his family members to go to the ancestral hall.There is a long street behind the mountain, and there is a large fence gate facing east at the east end, which is the back door of this manor.Facing the big mountain is the ancestral hall of his family's Tai Weng.There are nests of family members living in the left and right groups of houses.From the back door to the south along the east boundary wall, there is an arrow path. Going out from that way is the stables and the kitchen.

Then go out of the Suiqiang Gate at the east end, and you will arrive at the gate.This is the direction of his family's manor, explain clearly.

The book also stated that Master An visited He Yufeng in Qingyun Mountain that day, and he wanted to escort him to his mother's coffin and return to his hometown to be buried with his father.I didn't want the girl to have another thing on her mind, so Master He'an immediately said "Three Chapters of the Covenant", stating that he would go to Beijing to bury his parents, and allow him to find a temple and stay in the tomb for the rest of his life before he would go on the road together.Master An has seen through his mind, so he has no choice but to follow his temperament and swear to him that he will be drowned.All the way to Beijing, I thought: "If according to his words, not only is it not a problem for a wealthy family to send him to the Buddhist sect, but where is my so-called one who repays the teacher? Where is the so-called one who repays others? Let's say that there is someone in front of me. Uncle, wife, in-laws, and his nurse and maid are with him, what will happen in the future? Let's talk about not following his words, but let's talk about his nature and unwillingness to give up, so why all his admiration and filial piety? To fulfill my one thousand gold and one promise? What's more, to accept Deng Jiugong and Mrs. Chu's kindness, and to marry him with the son. Now I have lost this letter first. No matter how old and virtuous Deng Jiugong is, Chu How can the eldest lady be eloquent, this matter is getting hopeless!"

The master is in a difficult situation, and he keeps it in his heart day and night.After thinking about it, it took more than a day before I came up with a way to achieve both ends, and agreed with each other closely.Then on both sides of the Taiweng's ancestral hall next to him, the group houses were demolished, and two small quadrangle houses were still built.The first one in the east was used as a family temple for He Yufeng, and it was regarded as a separate family for the girl; the one in the west was used as the residence of Zhang and his wife, and it was considered a paradise for him to return to when he was two hundred years old.Not one day later, the repairs and coverings are completed, and the paving is complete. The old couple have seen it, and they are overjoyed when they see that everything is in the right place.

It just so happened that the work at my uncle and wife's place was also available this day, so I asked Nanny Dai to bring over the box.The wife explained to the master that she wanted to take this opportunity to go there.Because I asked Nanny Dai to go back to pay my respects, and said that I should come here in person to say goodbye.After sending Nanny Dai away, Mrs. An took Zhang Jinfeng over there first, met the girl, and said a few words about the incident, as nothing to do, only gossiping with his uncle, wife, and in-laws.He also mentioned that the girl's clothes are almost full, so she has to make clothes for him.The uncle and wife said: "Don't bother, I have already taken care of my daughter's affairs, and I can't miss it anyway." After hearing this, the girl thought to herself, "Sure enough, the day is approaching. I don't think it's a hairpin. Clothes are trivial matters, but why is my temple so unheard of? Could it be that I can still live here after my parents are buried?"
