When Shujie and the other three arrived in the capital for the first time, Yao Xuelan thought of taking them to Famen Temple to offer incense and donate some lamp oil money to seek blessings from a god.

Jin Xida immediately agreed and said to Shujie: "Jie'er, it's your first time, you can go too. I happen to be offering two everlasting lamps to your parents at Famen Temple. When you come back, you can concentrate on preparing for the exam." Dazhou's habit is generally

Usually, it is women who take their children to offer incense, and men rarely go.

Shuyao hurriedly responded: "Father, there are three lamps, and my aunt's." When their mother, Zhen Zirou, was still alive, she respected her deceased first wife Zhao. Zhao's memorial tablet was in the Xia family ancestral hall. Every year during the Qingming Festival, Zhen Zirou would bring the book with her.

Jie went to visit the grave, and later Shuyao and Shuwen also went there. Zhen Zirou asked them to call Mrs. Zhao "aunt".

Jin Xida was stunned for a moment, and then said with an apologetic smile: "It was the foster father's negligence. There should be three. You guys went over to burn incense this time. I just asked Mrs. Hou to ask for help. If you can, just offer it directly. Jie'er, bring more.

Some sesame oil and some silver."

Shujie agreed.

Before Shujie could even remember it, his biological mother went there, leaving no impression at all. In his heart, Zhen Zirou was also his biological mother. But when Zhen Zirou was pregnant with Shuyao Shuwen, she often asked him to accompany her to talk to her brother or sister in her belly.

Talk to her and tell her that every mother puts all her love into it when she is pregnant with her child.

His mother must have been so careful when she was pregnant with him and talked to him every day. His mother tried her best to give birth to him healthily, but her own body suffered a lot, so she died so early, so he

He should always remember his biological mother and love her forever. From then on, in Shujie's heart, he had two mothers, both of whom were equally dear to her.

Early on the next morning, the three Shuyao brothers and sisters set off with Yao Xuelan, along with Xia Ruoyun, Zhang Xu, and Xiaowu Mu Yongjing.

Most of the temples in the Zhou Dynasty are on the mountains, and offering incense basically requires climbing. Famen Temple is an exception. It is located on the outskirts of the capital, on flat ground.

It is said that a thousand years ago, when the world was not yet unified and regimes changed frequently, there was a massacre in the suburbs of Beijing, with nearly 100,000 victims.

In order to calm down the evil spirits, save the souls of the dead, and avoid turning into evil ghosts and disrupting the balance of the three periods, Buddha enlightened an eminent monk at that time, who was the first abbot of Famen Temple, and built Famen Temple on that land, surrounded by legends.

The peach trees outside Famen Temple are the Peach Blossom Bagua Array that traps hundreds of thousands of souls.

Some people say that since Famen Temple was built, it has gone through many wars, but no army has ever dared to harass and rob Famen Temple. Because as long as they wear armor and approach the temple, they will see the peach demon blocking the road, and there are thousands of them.

Wan's ghost cried out and rushed towards them.

Famen Temple not only prevents disasters, but is also very effective in making wishes and drawing lots. Therefore, the incense has been prosperous for thousands of years.

Famen Temple has a main hall specifically for pilgrims to offer everlasting lanterns to their deceased relatives. However, because the supply exceeds demand, the price of the fragrant oil can only be increased. It also depends on whether the horoscope of the person being worshiped matches the geographical boundary. You can offer it just because you want to.

Weiyuan Hou Mansion is a big pilgrim to Famen Temple. The cost of offering incense, silver and lighting lanterns each year is more than thousands of taels. When Shuyao and his party arrived, there was already a Zhike monk waiting at the door, leading them to a special place for the great pilgrims.

Zen room prepared for pilgrims.

They took a short rest in the Zen room and drank some tea. The Zhike monk led the way, guiding them to make incense and make wishes. Shuyao followed Yao Xuelan and Xia Ruoyun and followed them seriously. Shuyao's wish was very simple, that is, she hoped that her eldest brother would go to high school.

, My adoptive father’s trip went smoothly and safely. I wish he could return to Beijing as soon as possible. Shuwen will be healthy and the family will be safe and happy. Later, Shuyao also asked Jin Xida for a peace charm.

As soon as I carefully placed the peace talisman, the abbot and abbot of Famen Temple came over in person: "Amitabha, Master Jingxuan said before he went on a wandering trip last month that a little friend will come today and let me receive him personally. Little donor, please

Provide the birthdays and horoscopes of your father and your two father-in-laws to the old monk, so that people can offer everlasting lamps to them immediately."

Shuyao and the others were stunned, little friend? Master Jingxuan actually called Shuyao little friend? Moreover, did the master expect them to come today to offer everlasting lanterns to their parents?

Shujie came to his senses first and said: "Amitabha, thank you so much, Master, Master Jingxuan!" After saluting, he quickly took the pen and paper handed over by the little novice monk and wrote down the names and birthdays of Xia Linxuan and the others.

The abbot took the paper with a smile on his face, glanced at it, and was shocked: Sure enough, the uncle was right, this Xia Linxuan...

The secret must not be leaked. Even the master uncle said that people outside the country should not say anything. He was unable to help. He could only rely on the fate and fate of this family.

With a calm expression on his face, the abbot and abbot still smiled kindly and said: "When everything is done, a novice will take you there. Little donor, can you take a step to speak? Uncle Jingxuan has a message for me to convey to you."

Yao Xuelan and Xia Ruoyun hurriedly said: "Master, if you have something to tell Yao'er, we will go out first." After bowing, they led Shujie, Shuwen and others out of the hall, and even Liu's mother also pulled Lan Jin.

Back out of the door. Master Jingxuan had a reminder, and the abbot and abbot personally told him, what a blessing this was. Naturally, they avoided it. How could there be any reason for the abbot to avoid it?

Yao Xuelan covered her heart with her right palm, with an excited look on her face: "Master Jingxuan really values ​​Yao'er and Amitabha." How many people in this great Zhou Dynasty can really get guidance from Master Jingxuan?

Xia Ruoyun also smiled happily: "Our Yao'er is a good child, a child with Buddhist connections." Her three nieces and nephews are all blessed. Otherwise, how could she still survive when she was like that? And that pot.

Lips stained on the verge of death.

In the main hall, Shuyao's heart was beating very fast, and her clenched palms told her that she was very nervous at the moment. Master Jingxuan was an expert in the world, and even the abbot in front of her was a man of enlightenment.

Those clear eyes seem to be able to see through everything. Master Jingxuan could have calculated a month ago that they would come to offer incense today and that they would offer everlasting lanterns. So, could he also tell that she was filled with hatred?

Returning to this world again?

Otherwise, why would Master Abbot avoid everyone and talk to her alone?

The abbot didn't know if he noticed Shuyao's nervousness, but he still said kindly: "Little benefactor, Uncle Jingxuan asked me to give you a sentence: Be yourself, don't lose your original intention, and good and evil

There will be retribution in the end, and you will find mercy and mercy on others."

Shuyao was stunned for a moment, then bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, Master, for your teaching!" Could it be that Master Jingxuan knew about the gift she was going to prepare for Murong Mansion?

Shuyao's lowered eyes shrank, so in the past life, did the master know what the Murong family did to her mother? Did he remind them?

People outside the country talk about kindness and kindness. How long have they talked about repaying evil with kindness and repaying injustice with injustice? But...she is a human being in the world and cannot transcend it. What she can do is to repay kindness with kindness and complain with resentment without affecting the innocent.

.Do not actively harm others.

After watching Shuyao raise her head, her still childish face gained a touch of detachment and perseverance, and then walked out step by step with solid steps. The abbot and abbot sighed secretly, the uncle has already said, good and evil

There will be a reward in the end, and the cycle of nature. There are many things that they cannot stop, and they cannot stop. The reminder is the limit of what they can do. There is coldness in the child's eyes, but he has not lost the warmth of affection. I believe she has

Proportionate.

Shujie and others who were outside the hall saw Shuyao coming out with a smile on her face, so they didn't ask any more questions. Since they were avoiding everyone's suggestions, they naturally couldn't say anything.

Back at the Xia Mansion, someone happened to be sent over by Mrs. Ya again. Xia Ruoyun and Mama Liu went to the front to choose. Shuwen went to the garden to practice martial arts, and Zhang Xu and Xiao Wu also went to watch.

Shuyao thought of the questions Aunt Lan asked about Xia's tofu business on the carriage today. She also remembered Nian'er's nostalgia for Xia's soy milk and bean curds at the recognition party a few days ago, and talked to Shujie about opening a tofu shop in the capital.

things in the workshop.

Shujie thought for a while: "It's not impossible to do it. Aunt Mei was worried about the high cost of the capital, so she also thought about it, and even asked Uncle Qiang. Aunt Qiang went to the Tofu Factory to study for several days. I heard that Uncle Qiang had done it before.

I have learned how to do it, and now I can do it more carefully than Aunt Mei. It would be better to let the two of them take care of the tofu shop. Now that there is a concierge and a coachman, the adoptive father said that it is better to let the nurse who is familiar with the roads of the capital and good at martial arts do it.

.”

"In addition," Shujie also thought of another question, "We have to send two loads of soybeans to Yulin every once in a while, which will inevitably arouse the suspicion of interested people. If we open two stores in the capital, the capital is so big, the demand must be huge.

It makes sense to say that purchasing in large quantities is cost-effective.”

Shuyao's eyes lit up and he continued: "Brother, we can also buy a village in the capital and set aside some land to grow soybeans."

"Well," the more Shujie thought about it, the more feasible it became. "Our house is so big, and there is an open space on the west side, which happens to be close to the side door. I will discuss with my adoptive father tonight to build a warehouse there, and all future purchases will be brought back or from

Sent back from Zhuangzi

The soybeans were all concentrated in the warehouse. We told our adoptive father that the Xia family tofu was delicious because we had specially treated the soybeans. When we made tofu in public, I held you and soaked it while no one was paying attention.

Good soybeans have something added to them."

Before they left Yulin, they told Aunt Mei, Sister-in-law Ajuan, and Mrs. Sun the same words. At that time, Auntie Ajuan laughed: "I guess that's it, otherwise the procedure for grinding soy milk at home would be exactly the same."

, why doesn’t it have any taste? The only difference is the yellow used in the tofu shop

The beans all come from the warehouse of your house." But this is the key secret, and Ajuan's wife and Sunda's wife will not ask. They all rely on Xia's tofu shop and the tofu shop to have the good life they have now.

Especially Ajuan's wife, if it weren't for Shujie's help, the family would have been separated by that talented lady.

Sister-in-law Ajuan's and Sister-in-law's mouths were tightly sealed. They also knew that Shujie and the others could have closed down the tofu factory in Yulin County and moved to the capital to make a living if it wasn't for their neighbors who depended on working in the tofu factory.

Not to mention Aunt Mei, she had long guessed that Shujie and his sister had processed the soybeans, because after they moved out of the small courtyard, every time they brought in soybeans, they had to be transported to the warehouse of Xia Zhai first, and Shujie and Shuyao

She had to go and see it in person. She thought that the young master and the girl must have used some secret recipe to process the soybeans.

If Shujie and his three brothers were not going to Beijing, and Ajuan's wife and Sunda's wife were asked to ensure that Xia's tofu shop could only use soybeans sent back by Shujie and the others from the capital, Aunt Mei would definitely not let Shujie tell this.

Turns out, she was still worried about the Xia family asking for the secret recipe for making tofu last time. Those people were very shameless. If they knew about it, something might happen again.

The two brothers and sister agreed, and when Jin Xida came back that night, they pulled him into the study to talk about opening a tofu shop. Jin Xida had no objection, he also missed the taste of the tofu: "Yao'er, how long does it take you to process the soybeans?

, let Uncle Qiang make some for his adoptive father to eat tomorrow, hehe, thinking of the taste, the gluttons in his adoptive father's stomach are attracted."

Shu Yao had an expression of "I knew it": "Yao'er has asked Uncle Qiang to buy soybeans in the afternoon, process them, and leave them overnight. Uncle Qiang will cook them for his adoptive father tomorrow morning."

"Okay, okay" Jin Xida touched her nose and put on a proud look of "having a girl will make everything possible": "Why don't you say that your daughter is just a little cotton-padded jacket?" She asked him for a peace charm, and thought of what he was thinking.

I'm so confused, haha, it's great to have a daughter! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
