Happy Marriage

Chapter 153: Tentative

When An Sheng mentioned Yaolu, his smile was like a flower, and his joy naturally radiated from the inside out.

During this period of time, she had to do all the calculations in the mansion, trembling with fear, full of scheming, deep and mature. As soon as she went to Yaolu, she was relieved of the heavy burden, and she returned to a simple, lively and lovable little girl, with a completely different personality.

Today's change in Xia Yuanwai's attitude towards her made her whole body relaxed, and she talked about some interesting stories, or pouted, or bared her teeth, showing the mood of the youngest daughter.

Xia Yuanwai also discovered for the first time that the second daughter, who was originally from the family, was a fickle and unruly daughter. How could I have been blinded before and didn't realize it?

At the time of the lively, the little girl outside the door whispered and reported: "Master, auntie, third and fourth misses are here."

"Zixian is here too? Let them in quickly." Member Xia was in a good mood and hurriedly ordered.

As soon as the words fell, the door of the house was pushed open. Xia Ziwu stood at the door, swept the room coldly, and then forced a smile: "So lively?"

Xia Yuanwai had a quarrel with the Xue family, and he still preferred the two daughters. He greeted with a smile: "Come in, come in, come and taste this crab."

The girl hurriedly moved embroidered piers and added tableware.

Xia Ziwu pulled Xia Zixian behind him, walked in arrogantly, and took a seat beside An Sheng.

"Father has delicious food here. He only thinks about the second sister, but he forgot us." Xia Ziwu complained.

"It's not a rare meal, it's just sitting around and talking. If you guys like it, I'll bring some back tomorrow."

Xia Yuanwai threw the crab at hand into the plate in front of Xia Ziwu and said casually.

"Forget it, even the delicacies of mountains and seas, there is no such leisurely leisure now." Xia Ziwu glanced at An Sheng, and said in a meaningful way: "Mother can't eat, how can we daughters talk like nothing happened? Are you laughing?"

An Sheng used crab scissors to cut off the legs of the crabs in front of him one by one.

Xia Ziwu talked about Xue Xiuliang in a roundabout way. Member Xia was obviously displeased, and said coldly, "Xue Xiuliang has done something wrong, so he should be taught a lesson, and he will learn from it in the future. Pamper him like your mother did, over and over again. To clean up the mess for him again and again will only make him worse in the future and stab even bigger problems.

Your uncle cares a lot about our kinship, and won't embarrass him too much. If he were someone else, where would he still be alive now? Your mother's concern is messy. You daughters should distinguish right from wrong, understand these principles, and persuade your mother to be relieved, instead of adding fuel to the fire. "

Xia Ziwu was about to open his mouth to refute, when Xia Zixian, who was beside him, tugged at her sleeve secretly: "Father said it very well, and we also consoled mother in the same way. Mother is just distressed and anxious, and has no complaints in her heart. The two of us are more filial to our father, and we also walk more with Aunt Rou, and the family and everything are prosperous."

Member Xia nodded with satisfaction: "You have always been the most sensible, and my father is very pleased."

"It's all the teachings of my father and mother, Zi Xian can't forget it."

The maid brought **** soup and handed it to the two of them. Xia Ziwu took it in her hand and smiled sarcastically: "Aunt Rou grew up in a nunnery since she was a child, how can she bear the taste of ginger?"

Concubine Rou said indifferently: "I was ordained when I was in the nunnery, and I didn't eat onion and garlic, so I wasn't too harsh on ginger. What's more, I've always been a lay disciple, and I've been profane long ago, not to mention ginger, even if it's not fast food. Vegetables, I eat the same."

"Aunt Rou didn't mention it, but I really forgot. I got an item by chance. I liked it and gave it to Aunt Rou."

Xia Zixian took out a pair of silk yarn from the cuff, put it on a clean place on the table, unfolded it, and on it was actually an embroidered portrait of Master Guanyin. And under her lotus seat, there is a scripture embroidered.

Xia Ziwu looked over and exclaimed, "What a delicate embroidery." Then he went to read the following scriptures on the embroidered image: "The unsullied and pure light, the sun of wisdom breaks all darkness, can suppress disasters, wind and fire, and illuminate the world. Jie Lei Zhen, kindness Miao Dayun this mess, but what does it mean, it is inexplicable."

Xia Zixian raised her eyes to look at Aunt Rou: "I don't understand this either. I think Aunt Rou can answer our questions."

Concubine Rou glanced at the scripture indifferently, and said slowly: "Listening to the Buddha's voice requires attention to the Buddha's fate. The two young ladies are not destined people, so naturally they don't understand the profound teachings."

"Really?" Xia Zixian looked over and over: "Then may I ask Aunt Rou, which scripture is this from? Can you tell me? I want to transcribe some in my spare time to pray for my father and mother."

Aunt Rou lowered her head and used the crab needle to dig out the meat in the crab claws. The crab needle hit the bone plate, and there was a "ding" sound: "If you want to transcribe scriptures to pray for blessings, you can copy the "Miaofa Lotus Sutra" or "Guanyin Heart Sutra" It will be all right."

"Really?" Xia Zixian said meaningfully: "I thought this was the "Guanyin Heart Sutra"."

Aunt Rou didn't lift her head: "You don't need to be too obsessed with the form, as long as you have the heart, you can be sincere."

Xia Zixian continued to ask: "Then is this scripture the Heart Sutra or the Lotus Sutra?"

Aunt Rou said lightly: "It's been a long time, I can't remember it clearly."

"Oh?" Xia Zixian raised her eyebrows slightly: "I heard that the Lotus Sutra is the first of all sutras, but all Buddhists must recite them, and I vaguely remember these sentences, which seem to be from the Lotus Sutra. "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva Universal Door Pin". Such an important scripture, even Aunt Rou can't remember it?"

It was only at this moment that An Sheng suddenly realized that Xia Zixian was clearly Xiang Zhuang dancing the sword and meant for Pei Gong. By giving gifts, I tested the truth of Aunt Rou.

As a named disciple who grew up in Buddhism since childhood, Aunt Rou didn't even know the most common scriptures, then her Buddhist identity would not be scrutinized.

Aunt Rou was not in a hurry, but just smiled softly: "I am fostered in a nunnery, and I can't compare to a serious bhikshuni. I have a lot of work to do every day, and it is for me to calm down and read the scriptures. That's a luxury."

Xia Ziwu sneered at the side: "Your father is also a great master after all, so he is willing to let you suffer?"

Aunt Rou let out a helpless sigh: "My father is helpless too. I was weak since I was a child, and my character was weak. Some fortune tellers said that I was the reincarnation of a fairy child and that I was not raised well. Sooner or later, the Bodhisattva would take me back. My father was also for my good I had no choice but to raise me in a Buddhist sect, accept the baptism of the Buddhist Dharma, be reborn, and only take me back when I am an adult.”

Member Wai Xia was obviously dissatisfied with Xia Ziwu's tone, and glared at her: "You have been spoiled since you were young, and you still don't know how to cherish happiness.

"Which nunnery did Aunt Rou become a monk? She's so mean?" Xia Zixian continued to ask, not willing to give up.

"It's not well known, even in our local area, there are many people who have never heard of it." Aunt Rou gave a lot of money, and immediately went over to Xia Zixian's inquiry.

However, Xia Zixian was chasing after him, pressing him step by step: "My uncle also went to your hometown to make a living. He is quite familiar with it. If you say it, he must know."

Xia Zixian was aggressive, obviously unwilling to give in. Aunt Rou smiled and said, "How can Fourth Miss be so interested in my past today?"

Xia Ziwu smiled sarcastically on the side: "What is Aunt Rou doing so sensitive? It's just asking where you came from, why do you keep pushing and resisting?"

Aunt Rou gave Master Xia a pitiful look and asked for help.

To tell the truth, Xia Zixian and the two tried repeatedly, and Aunt Rou's preface was inconsistent, and she was perfunctory again and again, which made An Sheng feel suspicious. However, what is the difference between whether she was born in a nun or a brothel? This identity, perhaps really, is just like what they suspected, but it was Xia Yuanwai covering it up for her.

At the beginning, the Xue family was also just a broken house, and the reputation was not good. Isn't the father still holding it in the palm of his hand and carrying the successor? My father likes it, even if it's a woman from the brothel, it doesn't matter to him.

Xia Yuanwai was really a little annoyed: "Ziwu Zixian, you two are here to deliberately seek trouble, aren't you the ones who are making trouble for your mother?"

Xia Ziwu stood up in a jerk: "Father, isn't this an obvious thing? She clearly didn't grow up in a nunnery, but just to cover up her true identity. You were deceived by her!"

Xia Yuanwai was annoyed when he heard this: "What nonsense? My father married her in a sedan chair from the local master's mansion. What is her identity, and I need you to remind me? Besides, your father What can be plotted here?"

"What's wrong with the master's mansion? Local officials do everything they can to curry favor with Beijing officials. Even if there is no girl to marry at home, can't they buy one back?" Xia Ziwu said straight to the point.

"No, no, my father is not such a person." Concubine Rou was about to cry, and she was wronged.

"Enough!" Xia Yuanwai snarled: "Ziwu, you have disappointed your father so much, how can you talk nonsense and belittle others? Like your mother, you are both narrow-minded and intolerant!"

Xia Ziwu was also coddled and grew up, Xia Yuanwai never said any harsh words, today's reprimand can be said to be fierce, so he was a little angry.

"You can believe whatever she says? She said she grew up in a nunnery, so you asked her to memorize a scripture? You asked her to tell what the nunnery she lived in was called? If you ask, is she lying?"

"What if Aunt Rou didn't grow up in a nunnery? That's just an experience. The important thing is that she is now the aunt of my Xia family." Xia Yuan said angrily: "This matter must not be mentioned in the future. !"
