Rise From the Humble

The sun sets in the west, the sky is filled with red clouds, and the floating mist fills the world. The Linhuai Marquis Mansion is also misty in this sunset mist.

In the backyard of the Marquis of Linhuai Mansion, Baozi's little maid was holding Baozi's face, her little head dozed off little by little, and she woke herself up once after three or five naps. When she saw the young lady sitting at the table by the window, I was still copying Buddhist scriptures seriously and devoutly, but I felt relieved and fell asleep and woke up again with fear.

The little maid Baozi is really sleepy.

Last night, the annoying Duke of Wei's mansion next door set off firecrackers all night, scaring people's little hearts so much that they almost jumped out. It was so noisy that few people in Linhuaihou's mansion could fall asleep, and the young lady didn't sleep all night either. The sound of firecrackers finally stopped in the morning, and the master, lady, and servants in the mansion also took time to catch up on last night's sleep during the day.

But the young lady didn't catch up on sleep after getting up in the morning. Apart from asking her to send a century-old Changbai Mountain ginseng to the uncle, the young lady has been sitting on the table devoutly copying Buddhist scriptures, saying that it is for the old man and three An elder brother copied scriptures and prayed for blessings. The young lady didn't even sleep, so the little maid Baozi couldn't sleep either. She had to wait on her, so this made the little maid Baozi feel sleepy little by little.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone in front of the window. The misty mist outside the window and the burning incense inside the window added a bit of hazy beauty to the beautiful woman in front of the window. She was wearing a slim floor-length dress with plum blossoms embroidered with red silk thread. A cyan ribbon is tied between her hair, her black hair is combed in a ponytail, and the bun is decorated with delicate lily pendants, which is enchanting in elegance, and elegant in enchanting.

The jade man is slender and holds a hairpin brush in his hand, his big watery eyes are focused on the pen, and he is meticulously copying Buddhist scriptures on the snow-white rice paper, very pious and serious.

"The Sutra of Avalokitesvara of the Great Compassion and Great Compassion: Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, the Prajna Paramita, the mind is at ease, the relics and all Dharmas have no form, and the heart has what it wants..."

The Buddhist scriptures flow out gracefully in Li Shu's pen, and the rows of hairpin flowers in small letters are like a refreshing spring in a high mountain flowing down from the foot of the mountain full of snow lotus flowers, which makes people look twice. Feel comfortable.

In addition to this piece of Buddhist scriptures at hand, there is also a thick stack of rice paper full of Buddhist scriptures on several cases, and the words on it are also "The Sutra of Great Mercy, Great Compassion, Viewing Freedom, Mind and Things Come True", every word is a stroke Juanxiu is neat and tidy, every sentence is neatly arranged, and every page is comfortable to look at.

It can be seen how serious and pious Yu Rener was in copying Buddhist scriptures on this day.

While Jade Man'er was copying Buddhist scriptures piously and conscientiously, her tender red lips were slightly opened, as if she was saying something silently. Judging from the girl's mouth shape, it seemed that she was silently reciting scriptures, praying and making wishes, but after the last three words of each wish, it seemed that They are all "stinky toads"...

This is the habit of the ancients. In ancient times, people often copied Buddhist scriptures to pray for blessings, especially girls. They prayed for their parents, for their husbands, for... This was also influenced by Buddhism. There is such a passage in the Diamond Sutra. "If someone hears this sutra and has faith and does not go against it, his blessings will be greater than that of others, not to mention writing, upholding, reading, reciting, and explaining to others!" In their view, copying and reciting Buddhist sutras are blessings, and they can accumulate blessings and pray for them. , the more pious, the more effective it will be.

The girl is pious and takes every word into her heart.

"Miss, miss."

While the girl was copying carefully, there was suddenly a rush of footsteps in the yard, accompanied by a little girl's drawn-out voice and the sudden sound of the door opening.

The sudden sound caused the girl who was writing devoutly to slur a word. Looking at the smeared word, the girl couldn't help but frown, and her watery eyes looked coldly at the person coming from the door.

The little maid Baozi, who was nodding and dozing off, was also awakened by the sudden sound. Her bun face looked as if she had been frightened. The little chubby man covered his rapid heartbeat with his hands and looked towards the door.

"Miss, miss, my uncle is back from the exam..."

The little maid who came in was so frightened that she shivered when she saw her young lady's cold eyes. What she said next was so frightened that she almost swallowed it back in her stomach.

However, it seemed that it was an illusion. After the little girl trembled and said it, she felt that her lady's cold eyes seemed to have melted all of a sudden. It seemed that the coldness just now was just an illusion caused by her running too fast and being out of breath. of.

"What, my uncle is back~~" Baozi's little maid was so excited when she heard this that her sleepiness disappeared.

"Forget it this time. If you are so reckless next time, be careful with your skin." Li Shu put down the brush in her hand, glanced at the girl who came in, and said calmly.

"Thank you, miss. I don't dare to do it anymore." The little girl at the door wiped the cold sweat on her head and nodded repeatedly.

"Miss~~Miss~~ let's go see my uncle. I wonder how my uncle did in the exam." The little maid Baozi couldn't sit still after hearing the news that Zhu Ping'an had returned from the exam.

"Why are you so anxious? He can't run away..." Li Shu's beautiful eyes turned and she pouted her lips. She stood up unhurriedly and straightened her slender hands. She moved her lotus steps lightly and carefully placed the copied Buddhist scriptures on the bookshelf. She was as elegant as a fairy who could not eat the fireworks of the world, but the corner of her mouth could not help but evoke a sweet smile.

The little maid Baozi stuck out her tongue and blushed with embarrassment.

Li Shu put down the Buddhist scriptures, washed and changed into a set of clothes, then led the little maid Baozi, two other girls and two old ladies out of the courtyard and walked towards the front yard.

The Marquis of Linhuai's Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the Marquis of Linhuai also rushed back to the mansion in the afternoon and arranged for a banquet to be prepared in the mansion to welcome Zhu Ping'an after he returned from the imperial examination. When he returned to the mansion, Marquis Linhuai happened to see the naughty kid playing with the little Lolita with his butt raised in the dirt. When the naughty kid turned around and saw his father with a dark face, he almost peed his pants on the spot without being frightened. Fortunately, when the Marquis of Linhuai wanted to arrange a banquet, the naughty boy was only yelled at. Even then, the naughty boy was frightened.

Zhu Pingan returned to Linhuai Marquis Mansion in the evening. He chatted with Wang Shizhen and Zhang Siwei for a long time on the way. Zhang Siwei was relatively calm, but Wang Shizhen was extremely excited. He kept talking about Emperor Jiajing all the way. Xiongfeng regained his reputation as a wise master, saying that he couldn't bear to put forward ten suggestions for governing the country in one breath on the test paper. It seems that Wang Shizhen still had a strong scholarly spirit in his heart. The families of Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen are still staying in the capital temporarily. If they were not afraid that their families would be impatient, they could hold Zhu Ping'an and chat all night.

The Linhuai Marquis Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and a sumptuous dinner was specially prepared to welcome him. Zhu Ping'an was a little uncomfortable with the warm welcome after entering the mansion.

After ten years of being cold and no one asked, he became famous all over the world in one fell swoop. The ancients were honest and could not be deceived.
