Chapter 058: Add Lights
The next day, Chu Xinyu got up at Mao hour, and then danced swords on the mountain behind the courtyard for a while. This was her habit for more than two years. However, when she first returned home, the courtyard was small and she had not cleaned up more places to come out, so she had never practiced swords after returning. Just as she got up this morning, she saw the lush trees in the back mountain and suddenly became interested.
It took a long time since I had been dancing the sword so vividly. I was sweating all over. When I came back, the maid in the next room started to get up to fetch water. When she returned to the room, Danqing had prepared hot water for her to take a shower. Lan Yi asked her to send her out to do something else, but she had not come back yet.
After taking a shower, Chu Xinyu started dressing up under Danqing's service. She only brought three sets of clothes. She had changed one last night, and the remaining two sets were left.
Today, I burn incense and fulfill my wish, so I cannot wear it too brightly, but I cannot wear it too plain, which is inauspicious.
Fortunately, the clothes Zhu Bo packed for her are very suitable for her. She chose a camel-colored plum blossom stand-up jacket, covered with a blue-white Shu brocade double-breasted narrow-sleeved trousers, paired with a moon-white pleated skirt, a few small cloud flowers embroidered on the skirt, a red palace belt hanging around her waist, and only a gilded carved Ruyi hairpin was worn on the double snail bun, so that it is not ostentatious or plain.
After dressing, Xiao Misha brought the morning and Lan Yi came back.
Chu Xinyu ate three steamed buns in a row and drank two bowls of white porridge.
After exercise, the amount of food intake was slightly larger than before. She asked Lan Yi and Danqing to eat more, so she didn't eat in the temple at noon, and asked them to bring a few more steamed buns in their bags later, leaving them for lunch when they were down the mountain.
"Aren't we waiting for Mama Qin?" asked Danqing.
Lan Yi said with a funny look: "If she came in the afternoon, would she have to wait until the afternoon? Will she still have to go home today?"
Danqing remembered that the girl was going to attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet at Prince Chu’s Mansion tomorrow and had to rush back tonight. If Qin’s mother came in the afternoon, the girl really couldn’t rush back today.
When everything was packed, it was already half over Chen Shi that Chu Xinyu took Lan Yi and Danqing out.
In the courtyard, I met the Montessori family. Although I didn’t like the Montessori, I couldn’t be just black and white, and I left some room for everything. Maybe I would need her mouth in the future.
Chu Xinyu bowed his knees and gave a blessing, "Good morning, Madam Changping Hou!"
Mrs. Hou Changping was a kind old man. Seeing Chu Xinyu so polite and beautiful, she was not a frivolous person. She liked her very much, so she politely said to her Xuan Han.
Meng Shi really admired Chu Xinyu's patience. She had participated in the situation last night. She believed that the fifth girl had met the two disciples, but she had dealt with them quickly. But today, she could greet her calmly, as if nothing had happened. If it were someone else, she would have turned around and left long ago.
Yuan Shuzhen's stepdaughter is indeed impressive when she returns.
Montessori is a person who knows how to judge the situation. When she encounters a strong man, she never shows off her strength. She likes to stand aside and watch the results quietly.
Outside the Grand Turkish Palace, there was a crowd of people. A big treasure tripod was placed in the middle of the courtyard in front of the palace. At this moment, it was filled with incense and cigarettes filled the entire space.
The sound of Sanskrit is melodious and clears the heart of dust.
Chu Xinyu looked around and didn't see the guards of the Hou's Mansion.
Lan Yi left for a while, and when she came back, she was carrying a bamboo basket.
After last night's incident, and the silver in the purse was replaced with stones, Chu Xinyu guessed that there would be no guard waiting outside the Main Hall with the prepared offerings. Therefore, when she went to the back mountain to practice swords, Lan Yi went to find the monk in the temple and spent some money to buy some offerings and incense, candles and paper money.
Fortunately, she was prepared and asked Lan Yi to separate the silver bills and silver. Otherwise, she would not fall into their trap last night and would fall into it today.
After entering the hall, Lan Yi, carrying a bamboo basket, placed offerings such as claw fruit pastries on the incense table. Chu Xinyu took the pendant and handed over the three incense sticks that had been lit. Just then a pilgrim left and freed up a Luo Jin cushion.
Chu Xinyu knelt down respectfully and prayed sincerely. After finishing, he bowed three times to the Buddha statue several feet tall.
Danqing reached out and was about to take the incense from her hand. Chu Xinyu shook his head and refused, stood up, and personally inserted three incense sticks on the copper stove, and then asked Lan Yi to donate two hundred taels of silver to repay his wish.
The three of them walked out of the hall and didn't expect to meet Meng Shi again. She said, "You have a wish for me, you have finished me? Do you want to listen to Master Lingtong's lecture? I heard that he is a monk who is knowledgeable in Buddhism and has traveled thousands of miles to preach in the temple. It is rare to have an opportunity."
Chu Xinyu has listened to Buddhist scriptures many times in Puling Temple. Although she is not a monk preaching, she has also learned some Buddhist principles. So she politely thanked her for her kindness and said that she has important things to do.
Meng Shi also wanted to lobby her to listen to Buddhist scriptures with her. As soon as the wife of Duke E and Mrs. Zhao came here, she turned around and saluted the two wives and greeted them. After asking about Mrs. Fu's situation with concern, she took the two maids to find Master Jingkong.
She wanted to lit an eternal lamp, and Master Jingkong asked Xiao Misha to take her to the lamp building.
The lamp building is composed of three main towers. Because all the eternal lights are placed here, it is called the lamp building.
Chu Xinyu gave the monk who wrote the name of the offering to the letter.
"Chu Zhimin?" The monk took her note and suddenly remembered something, "It seems that someone had lit an eternal light for him four years ago, and the light has not been turned off yet." Because the eternal light has not been turned off, he remembered the name.
In the flash of lightning, a picture flashed through Chu Xinyu's mind, and he couldn't help but ask with a little excitement: "Where can you take me to see?"
"No problem." The monk got up and took her into one of the towers, pointed to a niche embedded in the stone wall and said, "It's here."
When Chu Xinyu looked at it, an oil lamp was indeed lit under the arch niche. The flames were light and dark, and the names of the offeringers were engraved in regular script on both sides of the arch niche. She bent down slightly and saw that it was engraved: Chu Xinyu, the Hou Mansion of Zhongyi, offered to him for his deceased brother Chu Zhimin.
Yes, she remembered that it was the eternal lamp she offered to her brother four years ago, but it had not yet been extinguished four years later? Does the immortal eternal lamp mean that it is a good thing?
No matter what it was, since the lamp was not turned off, she decided to continue the lamp and accumulate more merit for him. After she decided to do so, she stood up and accidentally saw a row of names engraved on the side of the two-story arch niche that offered to her brother the Buddha.
Xinteng was shocked.
Lan Yi stood beside her and saw Chu Xinyu calmly recline on the arch, and tears seemed to flash in his eyes. He was curious to look at what was carved there.
She only saw Fu Shaodeqin with a few words, and before she could see the other words clearly, she moved her body to block her vision. Then she heard her say, "Master, I donate five hundred taels of spice and oil to continue this lamp, and give eight hundred taels of silver to light an eternal lamp here." She pointed to the arch niche behind her.
"Amitabha." The monk clasped his hands together, "What words should I engrave with the donor?"
Chu Xinyu walked out of the tower, dipped the pen on the desk where the monk engraved the letters, and wrote a line of words, and handed it to the monk, "I hope my master can help me keep it confidential. If anyone asks, don't disclose it to anyone."
When the monk saw the words on the note, he looked at Chu Xinyu in surprise, but he said nothing, burned the notes, and then said, "Don't worry, don't worry, I have only carved words and looked after the oil lamp."
