Compared with last September, Yongfu Temple at the end of May has a bit more spring sweetness.The lilacs and sweet-scented osmanthus in the temple are at the right time, and the towering linden tree behind the main hall is also in flowering period.The last time I came and went in a hurry, but later I heard that there was an extremely rare bodhi tree in Yongfu Temple, and Dai Ke regretted it.

This time when Mother Jia arrived, the main hall of Yongfu Temple was opened, and the elderly Master Jinghui, who had practiced Buddhism, also came out to receive her.

"Long time no see, how is the benefactor?" Master Jinghui clasped her hands together and chanted the Dharma name.

"Mr. Lao is too concerned. Everything is fine with my old body. I haven't seen you for a few years. My teacher's demeanor has not diminished in the past. I am very envious." Jia Mu also solemnly returned the Buddhist ceremony, "This time, my old body will come to bother you for a few days. Don't mind Master Jinghui."

"The Buddha saves all sentient beings, so there's nothing to bother you," Master Jinghui let Jia Mu into the main hall, "Please benefactor."

Mother Jia followed Master Jinghui into the main hall alone, while Dai Ke and the others were stopped by the little nun, and then someone took the futon and placed it in front of Dai Ke and the others.

"What's going on here?" Dai Ke looked around suspiciously, seeing that no one had a strange expression, she secretly poked Tanchun.

Tanchun motioned Dai Ke to follow her and kneel on the futon, "I forgot that the second elder sister didn't know the rules here. Not everyone can enter the main hall, only the presiding master Jingwen nodded. Like you For someone like me, being able to kowtow outside the hall and make a wish is already a great blessing, and many people don’t even enter the courtyard gate.”

"It seems that the Buddha's six senses are not so pure, and he still divides people into three, six, and nine grades," I vaguely felt this way when I came to Daike last time. The temple still has to distinguish who is welcome and who is not. A real place of peace and quiet.

"You can't say that. If you get the blue eyes of Master Jingwen, even beggars can still enter. If Master Jingwen doesn't like it, no one will want to go in because of you. I heard that there was a girl from the Duke's mansion before. was kicked out, and then the people of her family were not allowed to enter the gate of Yongfu Temple, not to mention the main hall."

As Tanchun was talking, Mother Jia and Mrs. Jinghui had already finished their visits and walked out of the main hall, "I don't know if Master Jingwen of your temple has time today. I have admired Master Jingwen for a long time, and I have never had the opportunity to discuss Buddhism with Master Jingwen. Jingwen Mrs. Hui said nothing this time, so I can’t disappoint my old man and return home.”

"Amitabha, the presiding officer has an old friend visiting, and I have not seen them these few days. The poor nun does not want the almsgiver to fail again and again, but the fate has not come, so please forgive me." Master Jing Hui said while pleading guilty.Let the little nun lead Jia Mu and her party to the backyard to rest, and she also said goodbye and left on the grounds that there was still evening class.

Baoyu's injury was not healed, so naturally he didn't follow Jiamu to the main hall to worship the Buddha, and a strong woman carried her to settle down first.When Dai Ke and others walked into the courtyard following the guidance of the little nun, the women had already packed the room.Baoyu lived with Jiamu in the main room, and there were three side rooms, Yingchun and Tanchun still had one room, and sisters Daiyu and Xichun lived in the other two rooms.

"My sister must be worried about Baoyu's vigil at night. Why don't I live with my fourth sister, and it will be more convenient for my sister," Dai Ke said proactively.

"That's fine too," Daiyu nodded, "Fourth sister is still young, so you should be more careful."

"It's up to you to tell me, Fourth Sister and I are playing well. Fourth Sister, don't you think so?" Dai Ke lowered her head and pulled Xichun's two pigtails with a smile.

"Second sister always bullies me." Xichun snatched back her hair pitifully, "When I grow up next year, I won't comb these two again. Let's see whose hair you can play with!"

Seeing that Xichun and Daike got along well, Daiyu felt relieved and brought Zijuan into Baoyu's room again.At dinner in the evening, Daiyu didn't come over either. Xueyan replied that Baoyu didn't want to let anyone go, and insisted on eating with Daiyu, saying that eating alone was too lonely.

"Look at my elder sister, she hasn't married yet, she's just doing what she wants," Dai Ke gently covered her mouth with her handkerchief, and slowly swallowed the tender bamboo shoots that almost spurted out.

"That is to say, I didn't see that Mao'er is so attached to Baoyu before, isn't it because Baoyu is chasing after Mao'er?" Yingchun nodded in response.

Tanchun smiled, "You don't know that. Baoyu, the demon king of the world, knows how to practice Buddhism. Earlier, he clamored to come to Yongfu Temple to celebrate Shao'er's birthday, but he couldn't come. This time, the old lady came here. Is it the fulfillment of the wish I made before? Maoer knows his intentions, can he leave him to accompany us?"

"So that's how it is," Dai Ke clapped her hands suddenly, "I said why Baoyu didn't choose any place at the beginning, but chose Yongfu Temple, where my sister and I have both been. It must be that my sister also praised him for the beauty of Yongfu Temple." Fast, let him take it to heart."

"You girls, you can't stop your mouths by eating," Jia Mu laughed and shook her head, "If your wife is here, you will have to be punished for copying books."

Although Jiamu said so, she liked that the girls were not restrained in front of her, and said whatever they thought.He didn't pay much attention to eating and sleeping, and listened to Dai Ke and the others chatting and laughing, and said a few words from time to time.After eating the meal lively and lively for a long time, people were sent to add more dishes to Baoyu and Daiyu several times in the middle.

After dinner, Mother Jia said that she had made a wish with Master Jinghui this time, that she would offer incense to the Buddha for seven days to bless Baoyu with a speedy recovery and that everything in the two houses would go smoothly, so she was not in a hurry to go back. You must stay at Yongfu Temple for at least seven days.

"This is great. I used to stay for a few hours at most. I haven't visited this Yongfu Temple yet." Yingchun was the first to smile. Yongfu Temple was filled with Buddhist fragrance, which was a hundred times more relaxing than Rongguo Mansion.

"Look at the way you are in a hurry." Tanchun stretched out his hand to grab Yingchun who was about to get up while talking, "Seven days are not enough for you to go shopping, why are you in such a hurry? It's getting dark, come back with me quickly." Go to the house and rest."

"Old lady, look at them, the younger sister is more stable than the older sister." The food on the table had already been removed, and Dai Ke was serving Jiamu to drink tea.

"Third girl has a more stable mind." Jia Mu squinted her eyes and looked at this and that, "The second girl is also more lively today. Lively is better, livelier is better! It seems that she was detained at home. I will take you out for a walk more often in the future."

During the conversation, Jia Mu yawned several times. Dai Ke Yingchun and others saw that Jia Mu was tired, so they saluted and said goodbye.

Back in her room, Dai Ke casually asked the time.Shu Mo replied that Dai Ke was taken aback just at the first moment of Xu Shi.A few days ago, Mother Jia didn't feel sleepy until the end of the hour and the beginning of the day, but now it's only an hour earlier, which shows that her bones are really hurt.

But I don't blame Jiamu for her poor health. These days, one thing after another, especially Baoyu's beating, is no different from being beaten on Jiamu herself.Mother Jia endured for several days in a row, but Mrs. Wang, who was in her prime, did not endure as much as her.Such a reckless waste of the body, it is strange that Jia's mother is in good health.

"...You can't survive for three to five years, right?" Dai Ke said to herself.In the book, it was the first time that Rongguo Mansion was copied by Jiamu, and then her foundation was completely ruined, and then she died after suffering for a long time.This time it was just Baoyu who was beaten, and it's not like Baoyu has never been beaten in the book, so it shouldn't be as severe as the house raiding, right?

Maybe it's because she hasn't made a long journey for a long time, but Dai Ke still feels very tired and has no energy when she wakes up after sleeping.Yingchun and the others came to invite her to go for a walk behind Yongfu Temple. Although she wanted to go, she couldn't get up and had no choice but to decline.

Under Shumo's persuasion, Dai Ke went back to bed and took a nap, half asleep and half awake, she heard someone talking outside the door.

"May I ask if Miss Lin is resting in this room?"

"Our girl has fallen asleep, is there something wrong, little master?" Shumo's voice.

"Who is it?" Dai Ke raised her voice and shouted.

"Miss is awake?" Following Shumo's voice, the curtain was lifted, and Shumo walked in with a little nun, "Miss, this little teacher seems to be looking for a girl."

"Oh?" Dai Ke slowly leaned on the bed, Shumo hurriedly stuffed two pillows behind Dai Ke's back to make Dai Ke more comfortable, "I looked at the little teacher's face, and it seemed that I had never seen it before. I don't know how the little master is called, what can I do for you?"

"The poor nun's Dharma name Zhixin was adopted by Master Jingwen since he was a child, so he has no luck to meet the benefactor. This time I came to pass on a message from generation to generation, and the old friend who has a benefactor wants to ask to see the benefactor." Little nun Zhixin and Xichun He is about the same age, but he is serious and speaks with a straight line.

"Old friends?" Dai Ke was a little puzzled, "I don't remember any old friends I have in this capital, can little master tell me clearly?"

"Returning to the benefactor, he said that he only needs to tell the benefactor that his surname is Su, and the benefactor will know." Zhixin stared at the ground seriously.

"Su...?" The surname was Su, Dai Ke silently recalled that there seemed to be no servants with the surname Su among the servants dismissed from the Lin Mansion in Yangzhou, and none of the aunts had this surname either. It's better to go back and ask, don't make a joke by admitting the wrong person."

"This..." Zhixin raised his head and looked at Dai Ke with some embarrassment.

"Little teacher, please don't embarrass our girls," Shume Lara pulled Zhixin's clothes, "You only said that your surname was Su, and you didn't know if it was male or female. How could our girls be so reckless to meet someone who didn't know the truth? people?"

"It's the poor nun who forgot to say that Mr. Su is a male guest."

"Then we can't see each other anymore," Shumo said, "Little teacher usually worships the Buddha and doesn't care about worldly affairs. How can secular men and women meet privately alone? If it is spread, will our girl's reputation be lost?"

"But Mr. Su said it's okay," Zhixin looked at Shumo and then at Dai Ke in confusion.

"Let's do this," Dai Ke looked at Zhixin's confused little appearance, and couldn't bear it. "You go back and ask clearly. Since he said that I am an old friend, let him explain clearly. If it is really my carelessness, forget the old friend, naturally I will personally apologize to him at the door."
