Chapter 14 Life-saving Bodhisattva
"Alas! Life is hard!" Xiaobai cried, and Xiaobai's grandmother was also wiping her tears.
I want to cry!
After her parents died, she has been pretending to be independent and pretending to be strong, and her relatives and friends refused to help her.
I dreamed back at midnight, and I don't know how many times I dreamed of jumping into my parents' arms.
Now I see that Xiaobai is hugged tightly by his mother. After all, he hurts his own flesh and blood! I can't help thinking that my parents are gone and I have inexplicably gone to this ancient times... It's even worse.
"At least the Li family is a little thin, and they can't bear hardships when they get married." Xiao Bai stretched out his hand to help his mother wipe her tears and smiled.
"Cough, in fact... you don't have to get married." Stopping the tears, he said in a clear voice.
Only then did Xiaobai's mother see three little monks with tears in their eyes.
"This is the Qingyin master of Anguo Temple." Xiao Bai Dao.
"Master Qingyin just met his father and said that his father's illness would eventually get better. Mother, don't worry!" Xiaobai wants to talk about it.
"I think you don't have money to take medicine, so you want your daughter to get married in exchange for dowry?"
Xiaobai's mother is not very old. In ancient times, women got married early. Xiaobai talked about marriage when she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and her mother was only in her thirties.
It's just that I'm having a hard time at home, and I don't have clothes, and my face looks like I'm in my forties.
"Alas." It's Xiaobai's grandmother sighing.
"Her father's illness is getting worse and worse, and it can't be delayed." Xiaobai's mother's nose was red, and her face was full of guilt for her daughter.
The Xiaobai family is different from the Xiaoqing family. Xiaoqing also has an older brother on his head, and he hasn't beg for his wife so far. Xiaoqing's mother married her daughter and received a bride price to continue the incense for the eldest son to marry a daughter-in-law.
As the saying goes, the married daughter spills water. As long as she has money to collect, she wakes up in the middle of the night with laughter.
There is only one daughter in the Xiaobai family. It's like a treasure to this daughter.
It's just that Xiaobai's father has caused trouble in the past two years. Xiaobai's father went up the mountain to collect firewood and hurt his body again. The wages obtained by Xiaobai's mother alone for washing people's pulp and clothes are not enough to catch medicine, so he has no choice but to marry his daughter.
This mother-to-mother is really completely different from the one just now!
For the mother of the world! Qingyin thought to herself that she should help Xiaobai no matter what.
"I can introduce a job to Xiaobai. Every month... money. I don't know if she is willing to do it." Qingyin doesn't know what money is used in this era, but it was common to trade with silver in ancient times, so it said.
"Silver?" Xiaobai and the others were shocked.
Xiaobai's father used to work for only 300 yuan a month, and he hasn't seen broken silver a few times in a year. Now Qingyin opened his mouth and said that there was silver, which sed them off.
Fayun Faming also looked at the clear voice in a frenze.
I don't know where he came from with the confidence to say such a big word?
Some time ago, Anguo Temple spent a lot of time for the matter of the Dharma Conference, and Kongzhi didn't sleep well for a few nights. Now it's easy for the king to dial down the silver. Is Qingyin's idea? No! You can't!
"Eh, silver, ten taels a month." I didn't know the voice. After thinking about it, I said again.
She doesn't know what the price is, and she didn't pay attention to it when studying history. There is a sentence about the corruption of the Qing Dynasty in his mind, "A year of the governor of the Qing Dynasty, 100,000 snowflake silver."
I think that the corrupt magistrate can get 100,000 taels a year. In this way, it should be about the same for a month to work in a poor family, right?
But he heard a few plops and fell down in front of him.
"Little master!" Xiao Bai fell to the ground, and his frightened lips were trembling. "Ten, ten taels of silver?"
"What's the matter? Don't you think it's too little?"
Qingyin watched several people fall to the ground and look at themselves in a daze. Fa Yun and Fa Ming looked at themselves like idiots again, and they couldn't beat them to the end.
"Ten taels of silver!" Xiaobai is stupid, and he doesn't know whether to cry or laugh on his face. He muttered, "Master Qingtian, life-saving Bodhisattva, ten taels of silver! ...My God!"
Suddenly, she shouted and rubbed her arm. It turned out that she was pinched hard on her arm by her mother.
"Ten taels of silver, the little master laughed." Xiaobai's mother recovered first, got up, patted the dust on her buttocks, and pinched her daughter who stayed on the ground.
She saw that Qingyin was only ten years old. Although she was a monk in the temple, the official family was a Buddhist, better than their rolling in the secular world, but after all, she was a half-year-old child.
One mouth is such a large amount of ten taels of silver. How can he open it? After all, it's a little unreliable.
He thought that he was really poor and dizzy. He was scared by these ten taels of silver and fell to the ground. It was not a joke to spread it.
Fayun Faming also came to his senses and pulled the sleeve of Qingyin to complain in her ear. There were so many ten taels of silver...
Only then did I know that I didn't say too much about feelings, but too much.
Ten taels of silver, it seems that it was a very large property in ancient times!
Then if the cooperation between you and the Gongsun Yiman is successful, how much money can a person share, isn't it...? I couldn't help feeling a little panicked.
"Little master." Xiaobai's mother was blessed, "I'm sorry to bother several little masters to send the little girl back. The little woman is very grateful. But the little woman didn't dare to ask for the ten taels of money.
This is no different from astronomical wages. I'm afraid it's not a light thing. Xiaobai's mother has made up her mind that she doesn't want her daughter to get involved, so her words are euphemistic, but it means to send guests away.
Xiaobai bit his lip next to him and couldn't say what he wanted to say.
Sister Qing's father cut firewood and sold it in the tile market every day. After two months of hard work, it was only one or two or two pieces of silver. Ten taels is the average person's annual income!
It was easy to say Qingyin just now. She was ecstatic when she heard it. Now she is pinched by her mother, and she also wakes up. She is crazy because she doesn't want to get married. There is no ten taels of silver a month's wages. It's not crazy!
"Is it more than ten taels? How about those three taels?" The voiceless voice scratched his head, with a discussative tone.
She has no idea how much this ancient silver two is folded into modern times, but she always feels that three taels seem to be too few to take it out.
Xiaobai's mother changed her mouth when she saw the little monk's dream. She didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, and she felt more and more that what the little monk said was not practical.
Fayun Faming was still pulling her sleeve beside her. Xiaobai had already stepped over, "Little master, there are a lot of three taels." He lowered his voice again, "Is there really this job?"
Not to mention three taels of silver, even if you can have 300 yuan a month, you have to be happy.
"Yes!" Look at that Gongsun Yi, he should not be reluctant to take it out. It's a kind thought.
Xiaobai said "hey" happily, and his eyes couldn't help but shine brightly.
Although Xiaobai's mother and grandmother didn't talk, they couldn't help but listen.
"There is a Ruyi restaurant in Ye City, do you know?" Voiceless.
"I know, I know!" Xiaobai nodded and doubted whether he was in a dream.
Three taels! This is a lot of money!
Not only to buy medicine for my father, but also to improve the food at home, but also to buy new clothes for grandma and grandma... Xiaobai calculated happily.
"Excuse me, what are you going to do?"
Xiaobai's mother felt sorry for her daughter. After all, she hoped that this matter could be true and asked more carefully.
Qingyin thought for a moment, "It's just going to the kitchen to do chores or something. Don't worry! I have some connections with the boss Gongsun of Ruyi Restaurant. Xiaobai, you can tell him that it is an introduction for the Qingyin master of Anguo Temple.
It's not just the source. If the big deal is negotiated, they will be partners!
Listening to the voice like this, it seems to be true.
Xiaobai took a look at his mother and was not sure and a little happy to see the other party's eyes.
I was reserved for a while and didn't know what to say.
It's Xiaobai's grandmother, who is famous and surnamed after listening to Qingyin's words. Although I don't know what the relationship a little monk can have with the big boss of the restaurant, he has believed it in his heart and read Amitabha Buddha happily, "Today, I'm really a living Bodhisattva."
Fayun Faming next to him was also relieved.
As long as it's not the money from Anguo Temple, it doesn't matter whether it's a Ruyi restaurant or a wrongdoer!
Seeing that Qingyin solved the problem for the little white girl in a few words, the three generations of this family were happy and bowed. After all, they followed together, but they felt that they had done good deeds of living Bodhisattva, and felt that their face was more glorious.
The little white girl pulled the voiceless voice again and asked about the situation of Fan Ruyi Restaurant. Knowing that my daughter is just cutting vegetables and washing vegetables in the kitchen, I feel relieved.
Three taels of silver a month is already the salary of many veteran chefs.
But even so, it is more credible than the staggering amount of ten taels of silver a month.
The little white woman smiled when she saw the little monk talking, and her handsome face was more beautiful than the newly married daughter-in-law of the Lichang family. It's not a pester to ask questions about yourself at all. They all answer them one by one.
I couldn't help sighing in my heart. After all, he is a person in Buddhism, and he speaks and does things with a fairy-like temperament.
Let Xiaobai go to the Ruyi Restaurant to find Gongsun Gongzi the next day. Qingyin took Fayun Faming to decline the retention of the three ancestors and grandchildren and returned to the temple.
Once again, I went for half a day, and the three of them walked faster.
Yun Faming's neck was shrank by the cold wind, and he couldn't help huddled his hands in his sleeves. While thinking about Xiaobai.
Although money can't communicate, it can save people at critical moments.
He recruited another employee for Gongsun Yi without saying hello, and Qingyin laughed a little. I don't know what kind of expression the cold-faced guy would look when he knew it.
Thinking of the joy of Xiaobai and his family just now, he feels that even if Gongsun is angry, he will do this. It's necessary to have less dividends. Qingyin thought in his heart.
Gongsun Yi, who was kneeling in front of the spirit, sneezed for no reason. He looked up and saw that Aunt Meilin was looking away from her body.
"After all, the eldest son was spoiled. He only stayed in front of the spirit for two nights, but he couldn't stand the cold wind. Zhao'er, go and ask the kitchen to make a bowl of ginger soup for the prince. Don't make the prince tired before he is over. Aunt Meilin said coldly with a straight face.
The little maid who used to serve her immediately got the imperial edict.
Gongsun Yi didn't say much, and he didn't pay attention to Aunt Meilin's sarcastic words.
Dad is no longer here. Everyone knows his filial piety. Yu'er is his father's flesh and blood. He is young, and he doesn't want to fight for anything.
It's just that Aunt Meilin always regards herself as an opponent, which really makes him feel stunned.
When Dad Sun Jin married Aunt Meilin and came in, he wanted to find a warm bed. He still said to his father, Gongsun Jin, that since he entered the door, he was a family, and the family was also handed over to her.
At first two years, it was okay. The master opened his mouth with low eyebrows and closed his mouth, and he was very respectful.
Since giving birth to Yu'er, he seems to have got an amulet, which is not his nose and eyes.
Gongsun Jin is also a sensible person and has never blamed his son. Gongsun Yi was afraid that it would be difficult for his father to do it. On the pretext of studying, he often ran out. Aunt Meilin is getting more and more powerful.
Now that all the family's wealth has been given to her, I feel more and more that Gongsun is in the way. I can't wait for Gongsun to go to the restaurant.
