Chapter 194 Jinxiang
Yingchun entered Mrs. Sun's main room. Mrs. Sun had been cleaned up, and Sun Huiyan, the second lady and Yi Cai stood beside Mrs. Sun. Mrs. Sun asked Sun Huiyan, "Where's the girl Ying'er?"
"The second sister said she was not happy, so she didn't come to see her mother off."
In front of Yicai, Mrs. Sun couldn't say anything, but shook her head helplessly.
Yingchun quickly opened his words and said to Yicai with a smile, "My cousin is very beautiful today."
Yicai blushed and lowered her head. "The third cousin-in-law made fun of me. It's hard for me to go out. I'm afraid that losing the instrument will make people laugh."
Everyone smiled. The second lady and Yingchun didn't talk. Mrs. Sun looked at Yingchun, "Is the car ready?"
Wingchun hurriedly replied, "It's all waiting outside the door."
Mrs Sun nodded and said to the second lady, "If we go out, you can do something at home."
The second lady agreed with a smile.
Mai Dong and Qing Dai helped Mrs. Sun out of the door, and Yingchun and the second lady followed. The second lady kept sending Mrs. Sun to the edge of the carriage before she stood up. "Mother, be careful along the way."
Mrs Sun nodded, waved her hand to the second lady, and went into the carriage. The second lady smiled and looked at the old lady Sun sitting in the carriage, with the smile of her filial daughter-in-law who was happy under her knees.
Yingchun also entered a carriage. Yicai and Sun Huiyan took a carriage and several carriages went to the Mahayana Temple in the south of the city. The second lady looked at the faraway carriage before returning to the yard. The old lady is not at home, and her shrewd brother-in-law is not here. That's her really comfortable day.
The carriage walked for half an hour before it stopped slowly. The driver replied outside, "Madam, the Mahayana Temple has arrived."
Si Zhu got out of the car first, then lifted the curtain and helped Yingchun's hand: "Madam, slow down."
Yingchun got out of the car and walked to the car in front of him. Mai Dong also got out of the car at this time. Before Yingchun, he helped Mrs. Sun get out of the car with Mai Dong.
Mrs Sun got out of the car and looked at the stone steps that extended to the front of the mountain gate and the temple where cigarettes curled. "It's really quiet today," Mrs. Sun looked at the car behind her and saw Yicai and Sun Huiyan also come down and walked towards Mrs. Sun. Mrs. Sun stepped up a step first, "Let's go in."
The group came to the mountain gate. The people of Sun's house had already guarded the mountain gate. Mrs. Sun took the people into the temple gate and went directly to the Daxiong Hall. Several people worshipped Buddha Sakyamuni, the master of the Daxiong Hall, and incense one by one. Mrs. Sun turned around and asked Yingchun behind her, "Have you ever asked someone to prepare a residential dormitory for rest?"
Yingchun hurriedly replied, "Yesterday, my daughter-in-law asked someone to come to see it. She has already set up a few rooms with the master here. After a while, the mother and sisters are tired, so they can go to the back room to rest."
Mrs Sun looked at the spring and smiled with satisfaction. This daughter-in-law was thoughtful.
Mrs Sun is in excellent spirits today. She took a group of people to worship the Dizang Hall, the Three Temples, and the Luohan Hall, and walked around the tower to pray for blessings. Yingchun came forward and said to Mrs. Sun, "Mother, take a rest first. After sitting in the carriage for so long, I worshipped Buddha again. Now it's time for my mother to take a break. I'll ask the masters later and invite some vegetarian food."
Mrs. Sun nodded and was helped by Yingchun to the dormitory behind.
While looking at the auspicious beasts around her, Mrs. Sun said to Yingchun, "Yinger, have you ever heard such a story?"
Yingchun smiled, "My daughter-in-law would like to listen to my mother."
"Once upon a time, there was a poor man in his thirties who had not married a wife. I heard that there was a thousand-year-old pointed ash tree on the mountain behind their village. I heard that the bark of this tree could be sold for 20 taels of silver a catty in a pharmacy. The poor man was moved and went to the mountain to cut down trees. Because of the long road, when the poor arrived at the thousand-year-old ash tree, they were so tired that they leaned against the tree and fell asleep.
"The poor man had a dream and dreamed that the old tree begged him to let him go. As long as the old tree becomes an immortal and gets rid of the mortal body in another half a month, he doesn't have to care about this bark. At that time, even if the poor man cut him down, it will be nothing. The poor man refused and shouted, 'I have to skin you earlier to marry a daughter-in-law!' A dream sentence woke up the poor, and the poor man immediately sat up and directly peeled off the bark of the thousand-year-old ash tree.
"The poor man who peeled the bark was very happy and went to the pharmacy with a large roll of bark on his back. The shopkeeper in the pharmacy was very happy to see the business and weighed the bark with scales. The poor man didn't know the scale and was worried that the shopkeeper would deceive him. The shopkeeper said solemnly, "If I lied to you, I will be your son in the afterlife!"
"After hearing this, the poor man was released, sold all the bark to the pharmacy, made money, and married his wife. I don't want to. In this life, the poor man was reborn as a woman, married a husband, and had a daughter. The husband's family is not bad, but he is very disgruly. After getting married, he will eat a big coat of food. No matter how many people there are, the sound of eating is as loud as thunder. The woman could only cry secretly, regretting that her parents should not have been given to this person easily.
"Later, the woman went to the temple to ask about the fate of herself and her husband. The master told her the previous story. The master also laughed and said: Your daughter was the shopkeeper of the pharmacy. At that time, he really coaxed you and gave you two pounds, so he did not become your son in this life, but became your daughter. The master told the donor: If you want to know the cause of the previous life, the recipient in this life is; if you want to know the result of the next life, the person who will do it in this life is."
Yingchun smiled gently. Mrs. Sun looked at the spring beside her, "It can be seen that the cause and effect are not happy at all. I don't know what kind of fate our family was in the last life."
Yingchun smiled and said, "I may not know others, but I think my mother and I must be an excellent cause and effect, so my mother treats me very well."
Mrs. Sun patted Yingchun's hand, "I love you because you are sensible."
Yingchun has been sending Mrs. Sun to the dormitory, settled down, and then went to see Sun Huiyan and Yicai before returning to the room where she rested.
Yingchun leaned against Xiaomu** and looked at Si Zhu and Huaijiao, "Don't be obsessed with these. Just take a break."
Si Zhu served a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Madam, don't worry about the slaves and maidservants. Madam, let's take a sip of tea first. On the contrary, my wife has worshipped. It's time to have a good rest and go to the Zhaitang to see lunch later.
Yingchun smiled, "You know me. How many people are there with the girls? Don't let outsiders get close to us.
"Don't worry, madam, I have arranged some women to guard outside, that is, the eldest girl and cousin. The maidservant has called the three women in our yard to guard there."
Yingchun nodded and closed his eyes. Today, it's reallytiring to worship a circle of Buddha, which makes her, a modern person, a little tired. Take advantage of the time to rest and welcome the spring to refresh yourself.
