During the Flower Festival in the 27th year of Kangxi, two things happened in Yangzhou.

One thing is that the Lord Yanzheng in Yangzhou had a daughter on this day.When this girl was born, she was accompanied by a strong but not demonic fragrance.However, although this matter was peculiar, it seemed very insignificant against the backdrop of another matter. ————In Yangzhou city, all the flowers that have bloomed and are waiting to bloom all put away their buds in an instant, and all the branches and leaves are slightly tilted in one direction, as if worshiping.That direction is the Puji Temple on the outskirts of Yangzhou.

There is a lotus pond in Puji Temple, which is full of lotus flowers.Every June, the grand occasion of "connecting the sky with endless green lotus leaves" is a scene in Yangzhou.Only this year, a white lotus in the lotus pond bloomed strangely and suddenly on the Huachao Festival.What's even more incredible is that the monks in the temple don't remember that there are white lotuses planted in this lotus pond, and the lotus flowers in previous years were all pink lotus flowers of the same color.Regarding the sudden appearance of the white lotus, all the monks anxiously asked for instructions to preside over it.The abbot of Puji Temple clasped his hands together and called out the Buddha's name, "Under the seat of the Buddha is the throne of lotus, and the lotus is the holy flower of my Buddhist sect. The Buddha said, 'When the flower blooms, you can see the Buddha's nature'. Since this white lotus was born in this temple, it must have been bestowed by the Buddha. The blessing of this temple. This flower is the incarnation of the Buddha who wants to save all living beings with a compassionate heart. Everyone in the temple must not neglect it."

Not a day later, the city of Yangzhou was boiling.

"Have you heard? A white lotus in Puji Temple bloomed in February." Passerby Jia said mysteriously.

Passer-by B replied disdainfully: "Did you know? My mother's friend's daughter's nanny's family boy is helping the prefect's family. He heard from the elder brother of the prefect's fourth concubine's personal maid. I heard from the masters in the temple that the white lotus is the incarnation of Buddha... *%￥##"

"Really?" Passerby A's eyes stared at him, and he looked at Passerby B with admiration, "The incarnation of Buddha, then I must take my mother to pay homage, so that I can get a taste of Buddha..."

Every day, there are large and small carriages in Yangzhou City rushing to Puji Temple.

Under the leadership of the elders in the family, the big girls and young ladies who rarely go out go to watch the lotus in a mighty way, so as to get the Buddha's spirit, so as to protect the health of the family.

Under the leadership of the abbot master, the great monks and junior masters of Puji Temple received the donors in a completely new look.The white lotus is the treasure of Buddhism. Do you know the lotus throne under the seat of the Buddha?This is it.All the masters explained to the benefactors in unison.This is the incarnation of Buddha descended by my Buddha for the sake of compassion and universal salvation of all living beings.This white lotus has Buddha's light on its body, and it has Buddha's nature. If you touch my Buddha's light in everything, you can strengthen your body, cure diseases and eliminate disasters...*%￥#...

In less than a month, the lips of the monks in Puji Temple became more and more watery and thin, while the sesame oil money received by Pudu Temple became more and more abundant, and their assets were close to that of Xiangguo Temple in the capital.The master abbot looked at the account book with a serious face, and his heart was full of joy.

"This lotus is indeed the incarnation of my Buddha, protecting this temple. It's so good."

"My Buddha is merciful." All the monks shouted the Buddha's name and saluted.

"Abbot," Hui Wen, who was in charge of dealing with the family members of Yangzhou City officials, bowed and said. "Huiwen heard an interesting story in Yangzhou City, which may be related to the white lotus in this temple."

"What's the matter?" The master abbot who was in a good mood reluctantly closed the ledger.

"I heard that on the day of the Huachao Festival, Lord Yanzheng Lin in the south of the Yangtze River was blessed with a daughter. The birth of this girl coincided with the time when the white lotus in this temple was blooming, and there was a faint fragrance floating, and the fragrance was as elegant as a lotus flower."

Jiangnan Salt Administration?Lin?

The master abbot closed his eyes and meditated, slowly turning the beads in his hand.

The Jiangnan Salt Administration is not the emperor's confidant.

The Lin family was a Marquis of the Five Dynasties, and his old surname in Manchuria was Niu Hulu.Although his ancestors were not from the same line as the famous general Eyidu, they also helped the Taizu enter the customs and had the merit of following the dragon.Since entering the customs, the Lin family has changed to the way of civil servants, and now they can be regarded as scholars for many generations.Lin Hai's father died in rescuing him, and was granted the title of Marquis of Loyalty by Emperor Kangxi.Afterwards, Lin Hai went to high school and was praised and cultivated by Emperor Kangxi, and gradually became a confidant.

Being able to make friends with the Lin family, even if there is no benefit, there will never be any harm.

The master abbot slowly twirling the rosary, his mind spinning.

"The daughter of the Lin family, I am afraid that she has a great destiny with my Buddha. The so-called planting a good cause will result in a good fruit. The Lin family got this girl in the present because of the fruit, and the Lin family accumulated goodness in the previous life because of the cause. The cycle of cause and effect, Amitabha."

"Amitabha."

********************

Lin's house

Jia Min, the head of the Lin family who just gave birth to confinement, is hugging her little daughter and can't put it down.

"Look, Mommy, Yu'er is smiling at me."

"Sister Yu looks even more handsome than when you were a child, Madam." The one who spoke was Madam Fu, one of Jia Min's nurses.

"Madam, you have both children now, and you will have even greater blessings in the future." Nanny Li, who is also Jia Min's nanny, also praised with a smile.

"Who says it's not? On the day of Sister Yu's full moon, Master Huiwen of Puji Temple sent a purple jade lotus flower, which was consecrated by the abbot himself. However, it is now rumored that Sister Yu is under the seat of the Buddha. The reincarnation of the lotus, won the blessing of the Buddha, is a great blessing..."

"Nurse!" Jia Min, who was originally smiling, suddenly straightened his face and asked anxiously, frowning. "Where did these words come out? When did they come out?"

Seeing that Jia Min's expression was not right, Nanny Li served Jia Min a cup of fragrant tea, and then continued: "These words were first said by the monks of Puji Temple. Later, I think they were heard by the pilgrims in the temple. , This spread out. A kid from the outer courtyard heard about it when he went out to get medicine for his old lady today, and hurried back to the mansion to tell the steward, and the steward returned to Lin Qing. The Lin Qing family hurriedly informed our old sisters, It is said that the master and wife should make up their minds quickly. It is too late, and I am afraid it will be difficult to end."

These old servants of the Lin family have accompanied their master for a long time in the officialdom to socialize. As the master's confidant, they still know a thing or two about what their master is thinking.

"That kid is clever. I will reward him with two hundred dollars first." Jia Min thought carefully while patting the baby in his arms and coaxing his daughter.

"Mother Li, you go and tell Lin Qing's family. Just say I said it, and let Lin Qing look at that kid. If he is useful, he should be trained and trained. Hurry up and send it to Songtao Garden tomorrow, Brother Han It's also getting bigger, and I really need a boy to run errands."

"Hehe, it's that kid's luck." Nanny Li replied with a smile.

"What does the lady mean?" asked Nurse Fu.The Lin family was noble, and as the confidant of Emperor Kangxi, Lin Ruhai was destined to be a lonely minister.If the royal family knew about these rumors, Yu'er might not be able to escape the two paths of entering the palace or becoming a monk.

"I still need the master to come up with an idea on this matter. Let someone go to see if the master has returned to the house. If he returns, he will tell the master that I have something important to discuss. If he hasn't returned, let Lin Qing find someone Boy, go to the yamen and wait there. After seeing the master, please come back quickly."

"Yes, ma'am." Zhuran Fushen, the big maid next to Jia Min, turned around and went out to spread the word.

Under Jia Min's signal, the maids in the house were led out of the main house by the eldest maid, Mei Xiang, leaving only the two nuns.

Jia Min narrowed her phoenix eyes, thinking that this matter had better be just the unintentional words of the great monks themselves, otherwise, she, Jia Min, would not dare to do anything.Brother Han and Sister Yu are my most important treasures in this world, and women are strong as mothers, and no one can hurt my treasures.

Jia Min raised his eyebrows, and a red lotus blooming on his forehead was faintly revealed, flashing past, and there was a demon all over his body.The momentum of the whole body overwhelmed the two nuns standing beside Hou, who were a little out of breath.
