Don't wait

The next day, Jingxiu got up early in the morning, thinking that as a guest, he should thank the master. After the servant finished the report, it was almost time for breakfast, so Jingxiu followed the servant to the master's residence.

Jing Xiu saw the master from a distance, and he seemed to be a generous and kind person.When he actually met the host, Jingxiu expressed his greetings and thanks to the host. The host also asked if the room and board were comfortable, and if there was any need, he could ask him. Jingxiu said that the accommodation was very good.

After exchanging pleasantries, it was time to start enjoying breakfast. The host invited Jing Xiu to take a seat and ordered the servants to prepare some vegetarian dishes.Seeing the owner's thoughtful actions, Jingxiu's impression of this family is even better.

During the meal, Jingxiu also observed another table. The other table was occupied by female relatives, but I don't know if it was the family's eating habits or other reasons. They felt very silent when they ate, and they just ate with their heads down. I only raised my head when I was cooking. In contrast, the dining atmosphere here is much better.

"Is there any happy event in your mansion these days? I see that there are red lanterns hanging on the mansion, and the servants are also very busy."

The curious Jingxiu also tried to chat with the owner.

"The little girl will get married in a few days, so the mansion has been busy with this matter recently." The director replied with a smile.

"So that's the case. I didn't expect this little monk to encounter such a happy event for the first time in his training. I'm also here to wish your daughter a happy life."

"Okay, the old man is also here to thank Monk Jingxiu for the little girl."

The breakfast was over after exchanging pleasantries. The host also had important things to do, and Jingxiu was also going to go back to rest and set off again when the weather was cooler in the afternoon.

After returning to the room, Jingxiu read the Buddhist scriptures for a while and felt even more tired, so I thought about going out to get some fresh air, but after I went out, I felt that there was no place to go, so I planned to go to the garden I visited last night. I don’t know if the garden during the day will be Will it be more beautiful?Then he went straight to the garden.

After going to the garden, he was disappointed in the result. Because the sun was in full bloom, the flowers in the garden were all sun-dried and bowed their heads one by one. They had no energy at all, just like his current mood.Just when he was about to leave, Jingxiu found a girl sitting under the crabapple tree. Seeing that she was dressed like a maid, Jingxiu wondered if she might be the daughter of this family, and wanted to say hello to her , so I walked towards the crabapple tree.

When Jingxiu got closer, he found that the girl was sitting under the crabapple tree and looked up at the drooping crabapple flowers, but her eyes had drifted far away.

"The crabapple flowers are not the most beautiful at the moment." Jingxiu said with a smile as he approached.

The girl was obviously frightened, probably because there were very few strange men in the house, she felt relieved when she saw Jingxiu's clothes, and got up to say hello to Jingxiu.

"Are you the daughter of this family?"

"Exactly." The girl's answer was very short.

"The lady who is about to get married must be a girl."

"Exactly." The answer was still the same short, and even Jingxiu didn't know how to continue the communication.

"Then I wish you happiness too." Seeing that the girl had no desire to talk to him, Jingxiu was also about to leave.

"Who said marriage must be happy?" The girl's sudden question made Jingxiu a little at a loss. As a monk, Jingxiu had never thought about marriage, because monks didn't need to think about marriage.At this time, Jingxiu suddenly had to think about whether marriage must be happy. To be honest, Jingxiu’s mind was in chaos. He had only read Buddhist scriptures since he was a child, so he racked his brains and began to think about the concept of marriage in Buddhist scriptures. After thinking about it for a long time, Jingxiu Then he replied: "The Buddha said that marriage comes from the inner love and desire of people, just like what is said in the "Sutra of Real Enlightenment", 'All kinds of nature in the world, egg birth, womb birth, wet birth, and transformation birth, are all due to sex. Righteousness. You should know that reincarnation is love.’ So, shouldn’t two people who love each other get married be happy?”

The girl obviously didn't expect that Jingxiu would take her question seriously and answer her questions, so she immediately adjusted her posture, leaning towards Jingxiu, and continued to ask: "Then why are there so many love tragedies throughout the ages?"

Jingxiu was taken aback by the girl's question, and quickly replied: "The result of marriage is caused by everyone's karma, from the behavior of each person in the past life, not imposed by others, so everyone should be responsible for their own behavior. Responsible."

After Jingxiu finished speaking, he looked down at the girl's reaction, and saw that the girl didn't react at all, but just looked down at the crabapple flowers that were blown down by the wind last night, Jingxiu couldn't see the girl's expression, after a while , the girl raised her head, but her eyes were calm, she just got up to bid farewell to Jingxiu, and then left the garden.

Jing Xiu didn't even move, just quietly watched the girl leave the garden, getting farther and farther away, until she couldn't see the girl's figure.Jingxiu has been thinking about the girl's previous question. Although he has already answered the girl's question, he doesn't know why. He actually doesn't know the real answer, but after thinking for a long time, there is still no result. Jingxiu has no choice but to give up and walk slowly. Back to the room.
