Chapter 249 Missing
Ding Nioko is not a troublemaker. Wan Niang worships her, and she also worships her. It has nothing to do with it. As for worrying that if Aunt Wan gave birth to a son to compete for the family property with Hao Ling, Ding Niazi was very open-hearted.
When Wan Niang worshipped the Bodhisattva and got up and went out, she suddenly found that Ding Baizi was kneeling not far from her. She couldn't help but be stunned, but what kind of thing has never seen in the capital for a long time? After a short period of stunnedness, he walked over from Ding Page with a calm expression.
When Wan Niang passed by, Ding Niazi was closing his eyes to make a wish, and did not see Wan Niang leave.
When he was young, Ding Yizi came out of the Guanyin Hall, met Hao Lingzhu and Ding Rou, who was waiting not far from outside the hall, and went out of Xingguo Temple and waited together.
When several people worshipped the Bodhisattva separately, the old lady said that whoever came out first would wait outside the temple first, and then go back together.
The old lady also worships the Buddha in her spare time, so after worshipping the Bodhisattva, it is inevitable that she has to discuss the Buddhist scriptures with the abbot in the temple, which took some time. When the old lady went out of the temple, Ding Page and Hao Lingzhu had been waiting for a long time.
Aunt Shen is actually clever. She always follows the old lady, and she has been supporting the old lady all the way just now.
When a few people came to one place, the old lady asked in a low voice, "Are all the people here?"
Aunt Shen glanced at the people in front of her and said in surprise, "Ancestor, Wan Niang hasn't come yet."
As soon as the old lady heard that Wan Niang hadn't come back yet, her face was a little ugly. She thought for a while, and asked Ding Yizi, "Page, have you seen Aunt Wan?"
Ding Yizi nodded and answered honestly, "I have seen Aunt Wan in the hall before, but Aunt Wan came out a little earlier than me, and I don't know where she went."
The old lady frowned slightly and glanced at Aunt Shen beside her unhusingly. Obviously, she suspected that there was another reason for Wan Niang's late return.
Aunt Shen noticed the old lady's look and couldn't help smiling bitterly. She still carefully held the old lady's arm and whispered, "Ancestor, Wan'er's sister may have something delayed. You are old. I think it's better to sit in the carriage first and wait for her for a while, how about it?"
The old lady nodded and gave a soft hum.
Aunt Shen obediently helped the old lady into the carriage. Ding Yizi was pregnant and should not stand for a long time, so she also got into the carriage with Hao Lingzhu. Somehow, Aunt Shen, who had always been at odds with Wan Niang, insisted on not going to the carriage and said that she would wait for Wan Niang to come back.
After waiting for another half an hour, Wan Niang still didn't come back, and it was noon.
Originally, the whole family of Haofu planned to rush back to Haofu for lunch after worshipping the Bodhisattva early, but looking at the current situation, I'm afraid they can only eat some vegetarian food in the temple.
The old lady was sitting in the carriage and closing her eyes. Aunt Shen suddenly lifted the curtain and motioned Qiu Lan beside the old lady to wake her up.
Qiu Lan came to the old lady, raised her voice slightly, and called out, "Old lady, old lady..."
The old lady shook her head and opened her eyes to look. Her consciousness seemed to be a little unconscious. After a pause, she remembered where she was. He glanced at Qiu Lan and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Is Wan Niang back?"
Aunt Shen smiled and said, "Ancestor, Wan'er's sister hasn't come back yet. Well, it's noon. Even if I rush back to the house now, lunch is late. My concubine couldn't starve my ancestors physically and mentally, so I have told the abbot of Xingguo Temple and asked the temple to prepare vegetarian food for us.
Although Aunt Shen does not often worship Buddha, Haofu, as a large family in Taihe County, still needs some necessary charitable acts. For example, when there is a need in the temple, donate some sesame oil money. Therefore, the abbot's attitude towards Aunt Shen was particularly polite. Even if Hao Fu's request for Su Zhai was temporary, the abbot still vacated a room for them.
The old lady didn't say anything, but raised her right arm slightly and motioned Qiu Lan to help her up.
Aunt Shen knew that the old lady agreed to eat fast food in the temple. She hurried forward and helped the old lady out of the carriage and served the old lady all the time.
Xingguo Temple is not only full of incense, but also a masterpiece.
Looking at those delicious vegetarian dishes, Ding Yizi swallowed a small mouthful of saliva and said in his heart: This ancient monk is really good at eating. The vegetarian dish is actually more delicious than meat dishes.
Before dinner, Aunt Shen told the reason why they were not to go back in front of the old lady. She also hoped that the abbot could help and find out where Wan Niang was as soon as possible.
The abbot agreed in one bite. As long as Aunt Wan is still in Xingguo Temple, he will definitely find her. Anyway, although Xingguo Temple occupies a wide area, it is also under his management. As long as you know Aunt Wan's description and ask the little monks who guard the courtyard everywhere, you will definitely find Aunt Wan.
Hearing the abbot's words, the old lady's heart was temporarily relieved.
