Wonderful Life Reborn

Shen Ning knew that after tonight, the Shen Group would be known by everyone in the whole country. The reason why Shen Ning encouraged her mother to invest in the Spring Festival Gala was also to prepare for the development of the Shen Group in the next year. She was afraid that she would think too much, so she showed her a lot In addition, there is one more thing I have to say here, that Shen Ning has participated in a lot of business in recent years, and has occupied a large market share.

The money he earns is far behind her mother's investment in the business. If there is no other way, he must first expand his reputation at home and abroad. Word of mouth must be promoted. This is the result of the discussion between the two mothers. The elders in the family discussed it before starting to implement it.

Chen Xiangbei also gave advice before, he didn't want them to get involved in the muddy waters of the stock market prematurely, he was afraid that if someone made trouble, made some small tricks, and secretly bought the shares of the Shen family, then they would repeat the same situation as the Chu family. It's not good if the Hong Kong style is "forcing the palace".

After thinking about it, Shen Ning agreed, isn't it just money?He believed that as long as he worked hard, there would be no difficulty in getting over it, and a large amount of money would enter his account in the near future, which was already planned.

After the Spring Festival Gala ended, Shen Fanghua and his wife drove Shen Ning and Chen Xiangbei back to the compound. When they got home, they left Chen Xiangbei to eat dumplings at home, but Chen Xiangbei refused. I lived at home, so I ran away.

When Shen Ning entered the house, the dumplings at home were all cooked, and they were waiting for their family. Shen Ning washed his hands and came out with a smile, wished the family members a new year, and then had a New Year's Eve dinner together.After the meal, Shen Ning and his cousins ​​went out to set off firecrackers. After half an hour, the yard became lively.

The residents living in their compound are all well-off families, and the displays of each house are very lively. It is really like a competition. Shen Ning set off a few fireworks that he likes, watching the sky full of fireworks blooming in the sky, he The corners of his mouth never closed.

Zhang Zheng was behind him, seeing that he was happy, he smiled and hugged him, "You brat, are you happy?"

"Well, I'm happy, it's so pretty." Shen Ning looked at the sky with a smile.

Zhang Zheng looked at this sensible son since he was a child, picked him up with his hands, and turned upside down: "I'm one year older, and I've gained some flesh and fatter." He lost weight the last time he was hospitalized. This is the replenishment.

"I had a good meal." Shen Ning shouted loudly, because the firecrackers were too loud.

Just like this, after the fireworks display was over, there was smoke floating in the sky above the compound, and there was also a smell of sex in the air, which didn't smell very good, so the whole family went into the house. They couldn't stay up late, so Shen Fanghua advised them to go back to sleep in the house, since there were no outsiders at home anyway.

So after the elders and Mrs. Shen went back to rest, the female relatives also went back to the house one after another, and the remaining men in the family drank tea, ate fruit and chatted together, all very energetic.

At one o'clock in the morning on the first day of the new year, the men in the family also dispersed, and they all went back to rest one after another. Shen Ning followed his father to the backyard, and then went back to his room to rest for an hour, then got up, look It was already two o'clock, so I took the backpack I had packed a long time ago, checked it, and found that nothing was left behind, so I put myself into a ball, then walked out of the bedroom door gently, and finally walked towards the gate Go, he left his electric bicycle at the gate before, and now he can ride it and go.

When the gate was opened, the door guard came out and saw that it was Shen Ning, and asked, "Young Master Ning, are you...?"

"Oh, I'm going out, you all should rest first, you've been tired all day, I'll come back as soon as I go, don't worry about it." After speaking, he pushed the car and went out.

The guard at the door was Li Chao, the captain of the family's guards. It was strange to see him running away on a bicycle at two o'clock in the morning, so he also ordered his men to drive him away on a motorcycle. As a result, he didn't see Shen Ning when he went out. He was a little anxious, so he drove over there to the gate of the compound. When he arrived at the gate, he asked the guards and said that Shen Ning had gone to the east, so he chased after him. Early in the morning, if something happened to him, the master of the family would have to deal with him, but if he didn't catch up, he would find him on the street. . . . . .

In fact, it's not that Shen Ning is capricious, he just thinks that the guards at home have been busy for a year, and he wants them to rest during the Chinese New Year. The reason why he got up so early is because he is going to the biggest temple in the capital to pray for the elderly at home. , To burn that stick of incense, this is his wish for the beginning of this year.

When he arrived, no one came. He breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't delay the matter. This year he ranked first, and he must be the first stick of incense. Behind a tree not far from the door, he locked it tightly with two locks in case someone would steal it, and with a small horse in his hand, he sat down at the place closest to the door, and glanced at his watch by the street lamp. At three o'clock, he thought he would have to wait for a few more hours, so he closed his eyes calmly.

On the morning of the first day of the lunar new year, the weather was very cold, but Shen Ning was in a calm mood. This was the first time he prayed for his family, so sincerity is the key to spirituality, he folded his hands unconsciously and read the words just now. The "Great Compassion Mantra" that I was looking for in my mind, I heard that as long as you recite it five times, you can pray for disaster relief for your family. He repeated it silently, he didn't know that there were many pilgrims gathered behind him who wanted to grab the first stick of incense, he was very surprised to see him in the first position over there, this kid came too early , If there is such a good thing, I came over to look, and found that the child was saying something in his mouth, probably in silent scriptures, so I didn’t bother, and stepped away gently, looking at the child, as if there was Buddha’s light on him .

Shen Ning obediently recited the scriptures silently. Just when he finished reciting the fifth time, it was dawn, and the melodious bell rang in the temple. He opened his eyes and found that it was dawn, and the watch on his wrist showed that the time was five o'clock in the morning. , he stood up, and found that his legs were numb, so he moved carefully on the spot, then put away the ponytail and put it aside, clasped his hands together, and bowed to the door.

Just after this ritual was performed, the gate of the temple was opened. When the sweeping monk saw Shen Ning standing at the gate, he was stunned for a moment. It has been many years, and he has never seen such a young child come to burn this stick. It was fragrant, so I clasped my hands together and said: "Amitabha."

Seeing this, Shen Ning hurriedly replied: "Master, Happy Chinese New Year."

The floor-sweeping monk was only in his early thirties, seeing Shen Ning's politeness, he went on to say: "Almsgiver, my master is here to invite you." After finishing speaking, he stepped aside.

Shen Ning was stunned for a moment when he heard it. According to the rules, this place should officially open to welcome pilgrims at seven o'clock in the morning, but it is only a little past five o'clock. "Master, are you kidding me?"

"Monks don't tell lies, little benefactor please."

After Shen Ning heard this, he didn't think too much about it, so he tidied up his clothes, and then went in with the sweeping monk. The pilgrims behind were all stunned when they saw it, and those who had something good would follow in. , As a result, as soon as he came to the door, he was stopped by the sweeping monk, and then the door closed.

All those pilgrims were stunned, and then they all whispered about this matter, talking about everything, and there were a lot of messy guesses.

Besides, after Shen Ning entered the temple, he followed the sweeping monk to a courtyard behind the temple. When Shen Ning entered the door, he looked carefully at the place. He had traveled here in his previous life, but he remembered this courtyard very clearly, and outsiders were not allowed to visit it. , but still followed in.

The sweeping monk led him to a door and stopped. When Shen Ning heard the sound of knocking on the wooden fish, he knew that someone was chanting sutras. After a while, the sound of the wooden fish stopped, and then the door opened, and Shen Ning saw an old man. Monk, the beard is already gray.

The corners of Shen Ning's eyes twitched when he saw this, "What's the situation, he was born again, did he still time travel?" ’ But he still said very politely: “Master, Happy Chinese New Year.”

The old monk looked at Shen Ning and smiled, motioning for him to follow, and Shen Ning followed, anyway, he was not afraid of what the old monk would do to him, so he wouldn't be held here even if he came to burn incense Shave your hair and become a monk?

Shen Ning followed the old monk to an Antang, and found that there were already many big and small monks inside. Shen Ning was curious and stopped there. Unexpectedly, the old monk signaled him to come over, and he didn't hesitate. In the eyes of the monk, he walked to the side of the old monk and sat down after he signaled.

As soon as he sat down, a few fire monks came in with a few big buckets, and a few others held rice bowls in their hands and distributed them to the big guys. Shen Ning understood that this was where they ate, and they were looking at the people around them. The old monk said, "Master..."

"Don't worry about it, little benefactor, let's have a vegetarian meal." After speaking, he picked up the porridge bowl and started to eat.

Shen Ning also lowered his head and started to eat without being entangled. Today's porridge was well cooked, with a strong rice fragrance. He put it down after eating a bowl, and then looked at the old monk.

After the old monk had eaten, he took him back to his Antang, motioned him to sit on a futon, and then began to close his eyes and recite scriptures. Shen Ning thought, what is this for?But he had nothing to do, so he reached out and picked up a book next to him and read it. When he found that it was a Buddhist scripture, he read it carefully. After reading it, he closed his eyes and recited it silently over and over again in his heart. After reading it, I just recited the "Great Compassion Mantra" I just learned this morning.

Shen Ning was chanting sutras here, and the old monk over there opened his eyes and smiled. After Shen Ning finished chanting, it happened to be 06:30 in the morning. He got up and wanted to say goodbye. He was going to the front hall to offer incense sticks to his family. , This is also his original intention.

The old monk signaled that he was not in a hurry, and then called him over and said: "My name is Huici, today I see you and I are destined, and this string of Buddhist beads will be given to the little benefactor."

Shen Ning was stunned for a moment, "I have family members, I don't go out, I just come here to pray for my family and burn the first stick of incense."

Seeing Shen Ning like this, Huici laughed: "The benefactor misunderstood, I didn't want the benefactor to become a monk, I know that the benefactor is a person who does great things, and it took three years for the master and the eminent monk to make these beads. Okay, I wish the donor a safe life and everything goes well.”

Shen Ning felt ashamed when he heard this, and clasped his hands together: "Thank you master, my name is Shen Ning." Then he took the prayer beads with both hands and put them on his hands.

"Little friend is pure filial piety, there is no need to thank you." After speaking, he gave a salute and stood up: "Little friend can follow me to the main hall." After speaking and walking out of the An Hall, several monks came over at the door, holding cassocks in their hands, Huici stood still, and those people hurried over to help him put on the cassock, and when they were finished, they stood beside him, and after Huici left, they also followed, and Shen Ning also followed after seeing him.

When he arrived at the entrance of the main hall, Shen Ning found that many monks had arrived, all wearing cassocks, and holding various instruments in their hands. He didn't understand it very well, but he came to the incense place in the temple honestly, and picked out I bought the best bunch without asking the price, threw down a hundred-yuan note and left, and then made preparations, thinking that he would grab the first stick of incense when these monks finished their blessing ceremony. Today's stick of incense He made it.

Hui Ci didn't say much after seeing him, and motioned to the sweeping monk to open the door, then put his hands together, and chanted 'Amitabha', and all the monks followed suit.

Shen Ning was already ready. After the gate opened, many pilgrims had gathered at the gate, waiting to be signaled to come in and offer incense, but they all understood the rules. It was the first day of the new year, and a blessing ceremony would be held here first. , they will not be allowed to enter until the ceremony is over.

The blessing ceremony didn't take long, Shen Ning saw that their side was over, so he saw the greetings from above to all the monks, then respectfully gave a deep salute, stood up and went to the incense burner, lit the incense in his hand, and then Then he turned around and followed the monks into the main hall.
