Chapter 499 Eight Pairs of Silver Bracelets
Shao Wanru has never met this Master Pushan in all the time he has been in Yuhui Temple. On the one hand, this Master is basically not involved in this kind of religious affairs. He only concentrates on worshiping the Buddha and rarely goes out on weekdays. On the one hand, Shao Wanru is not an outsider, and he is basically in the back part of Yuhui Temple.
That part of the country is also closed to most pilgrims.
Since Master Pushan has taken over the matter this time, she will definitely be there when she makes offerings to the Buddha on the first day of the day.
When Shao Wanru arrived at the Buddhist temple, the maids and mothers-in-law of the Xingguo Duke's Mansion were busy. Seven or eight people came. They were stunned when they saw Shao Wanru. Later, they heard Yu Jie say that this was the fifth young lady. Back away politely.
The fifth young lady may have no father or mother in the house, and she is not very loved by the madam, but she can't help but that the fifth young lady has a distinguished grandmother, and this grandmother will not watch the fifth young lady being bullied and causing trouble. The madam can’t even eat or sleep!
Shao Wanru took Yujie into the main hall and saw Master Pushan in the main hall.
Mrs. Pushan looks to be about forty or fifty years old. She is very beautiful and has a gentle aura that is exactly the same as Shao Wanru's. Very comforting.
The hair on her head has long been shaved off, but even so, the feeling of Master Pushan to Shao Wanru is still different from that of other masters. The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes can still tell that she was once beautiful, not only Her appearance, if placed in a group of nuns, would make people see her at first glance. Even if she is standing with the outstanding-looking Master Mingqiu, no one will ignore her existence.
The young lady from a wealthy family had to enter a nunnery because of her family's decline, but her temperament was still outstanding.
Anyone who met her would have to admire Master Pushan for she was indeed the kind of lady who came from a century-old family.
Huiqing, who was standing next to Master Pushan, had already seen Shao Wanru. He was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said something in a low voice to Master Pushan, who had her eyes closed.
Master Pushan nodded slightly, opened her eyes and looked at Shao Wanru calmly.
"I'm going to trouble Master Pushan this time!" Shao Wanru came over and greeted him with a smile, his watery eyes smiling brightly, and he bowed sideways.
Master Pushan smiled slightly and clasped his hands to her: "You're welcome, Miss Shao Wu!"
Then he closed his eyes again, lowered his head, slowly slid the beads in his hands, and continued to chant the sutra.
"If something happens to Miss Shao Wu, you can tell the poor nun. The master usually doesn't take care of things." Huiming on the side smiled at Shao Wanru, with a kind expression.
Huiqing lowered her head and followed Master Pushan in reciting the sutra.
"Excuse me, Master Huiming. From now on, will Master Pushan come here every day to recite scriptures? When will he come?" Shao Wanru asked in a lowered voice.
"Master will bring us here every day, but the specific time is not certain." Huiming said with a smile.
"Trouble, Master and Disciple!" Shao Wanru said, walking towards the Buddha statue in the middle. Huiming followed behind with his hands clasped together slightly, while smiling, "If Miss Shao Wu feels that the placement is inappropriate, she will be like the poor one." After what I said, you can rearrange the shapes and display them."
"Is there a different way of placing them?" Shao Wanru looked curiously at the placement of several maids and mothers-in-law.
Most of them are pastries, melons and fruits, some are offerings such as materials, and then there are some small houses, pavilions and other objects that have been built.
Each piece is exquisitely made and placed according to certain specifications.
"Yes, it is different. The previous one was chosen by the eldest lady at will, but if the fifth lady feels dissatisfied, she can choose to place it again."
Huiming took out a book-like thing from the back of the Buddha statue. When he opened it, he could see the different ways of placing the offerings, and there were also special names for asking for blessings. They were all very good names for asking for blessings.
The top one that Shao Wanru looked at was indeed the pattern being displayed now, and it was also the simplest one. It could be seen that Shao Yanru had pointed it at random.
What surprised Shao Wanru the most was that the paintings displayed were extremely well done and could even be said to be perfect.
"The last time Miss Shao came to see Fifth Miss, she also took a look at the master. When she mentioned this matter, the master asked the poor nun to show the album to the eldest lady, but the eldest lady didn't look at it carefully. I pointed out the way the dishes are presented, and I said at the time that if Miss Fifth is not satisfied, she can choose another one."
Huiming explained with a smile.
Shao Wanru flipped through a few pictures, and sure enough, each of the following pictures was more exquisite than the one on top, and the arrangement was better, so he immediately compared it to the one on top.
Make an argument!
Shao Wanru flipped through a few more pictures, and finally selected the most outstanding picture among them. This one was obviously the most beautiful one, and the color was also "good luck"!
Huiming had been following her, and when he saw her turning back to this page, he knew that she was very satisfied with this one, and immediately smiled and said: "Miss Wu has good taste, this one is indeed the best, if Miss Wu Select this chapter and I will arrange it. There are many people coming from your house, so it will be very quick to rearrange it!"
"It's almost done. If we put it up again... I'm afraid it won't be good!" Shao Wanru raised his eyes and looked at most of the offerings that had been placed.
"Fifth Miss, you're polite. It's originally a matter of our nunnery. We have to satisfy Fifth Miss. I heard that this time it's still because of Fifth Miss's parents. If Fifth Miss has changed her mind again, that's right. Outsiders will only say that Fifth Miss is filial. Be careful and take care of your parents!”
Huiming said with a smile and a very kind attitude. It was the same feeling as when he first met Master Pushan. No one could find anything "bad" about her.
"Let's forget it. Since the eldest sister chose it, it has already been placed." Shao Wanru shook his hand and returned the album to Huiming.
"Fifth Miss, it's really not troublesome, but if Fifth Miss insists on doing this, forget it. If Fifth Miss feels it's inappropriate again in a few days, you can tell the poor nun, and the poor nun will definitely ask someone to rearrange the arrangement. I've passed." Huiming seemed to want to persuade him, but he changed his tune after saying a few words.
Yu Jie followed Shao Wanru and looked Huiming up and down a few times. Master Huiming felt so good to others. She was not only kind, but also had a gentle attitude, as if she didn't care what Shao Wanru asked or what he wanted to do. , will do what she wants without forcing anything.
Compared with Master Puyu who was a Zhike monk, he was even more versatile. Of course, the Zhike monk who was in Jingxin Temple in the past could not even compare!
"Thank you, Master Huiming!" Shao Wanru smiled and nodded.
"If the Fifth Miss has nothing to do, I will go and recite sutras with the master!" Huiming put the picture album in his hand behind the Buddha statue and said with a smile.
"Master, please help yourself!" Shao Wanru nodded.
Huiming returned to Master Pushan, closed her eyes, and recited the chant along with Master Pushan again, with a peaceful expression on her face.
However, Huiqing, who had been sitting down before, seemed a little uneasy. He twisted his body slightly, opened his eyes and looked at the beads in his hand. He turned a few beads and then closed his eyes again.
Shao Wanru walked around the main hall and then went to the side hall.
The placement of the side hall is very similar to the previous placement of the rituals in Zhang Xiangfu. The side hall on one side is a place for the owner to rest. The tables and chairs are placed in a very standardized way. The other side is an empty space. If the owner has Necessary sundries can be placed in this side hall.
The Buddhist offerings brought by Duke Xingguo were basically taken out and displayed here.
There are a lot of things brought, but they are not completely arranged yet. Some maids have cleaned them out, and some mothers-in-law have carefully brought them to the main hall.
There was a lot of hustle and bustle!
When the maid and mother-in-law saw Shao Wanru coming, they all put down their things and saluted together.
Shao Wanru waved his hand, signaling them to do as they pleased, then walked over and looked at the offerings casually.
There were really many offerings, which had not been sorted out and were piled up in a mess. Shao Wanru's eyes suddenly fell on several pairs of bracelets, which were silver bracelets.
The patterns are very delicate, all the same thickness. If you look closely, you can see that even the patterns are made by thunder. There are eight pairs in total.
The silver bracelet looks a bit fat, but the ring is not big. It looks like it is for children, and it is a bit old.
"What is this?" Yujie saw that Shao Wanru noticed the eight pairs of bracelets and asked her mother-in-law who had gone to report to Shao Wanru before.
"These are the bracelets that the young ladies and gentlemen wore when they were young. The wife also thought that they should be enshrined together!" The old lady turned her head to look at them and replied with a smile.
"Aren't you going to take it back from now on?" Shao Wanru asked curiously as he looked at the exquisite and beautiful paper pavilion placed in front of him.
These paper pavilions and things like that are going to be burned down.
"No way, this is just to get a good compliment, and on the other hand, it is also to keep the ladies and gentlemen safe and sound." The mother-in-law explained with a smile.
He reached out and picked up a pair of small silver bracelets and said, "This pair belongs to the eldest lady. They were placed in the first position. Look, there is a small word inside, which is the eldest lady's name!" "
Yu Jie took it and handed it to Shao Wanru. Sure enough, she saw a small "Ru" character on the side of the bracelet, which Shao Yanru wore when she was a child.
Putting down this pair of bracelets, Shao Wanru picked up the other pair with interest, "Are these my bracelets? But I've never worn them before, is it possible that they are also there?"
"Fifth Miss's bracelets do exist. When Master Hao was born, the Madam made everything again. The Madam had prepared this pair of bracelets early, and now it happens to belong to the Fifth Miss. "The mother-in-law looked at the pair of bracelets in Shao Wanru's hands and said hurriedly.
It goes well with the previous longevity locks. They were all prepared for me early. One was delivered to me, and the other was still in the hands of the madam.
He reached out and took out another bracelet from Shao Yanru, and put his own bracelet together. They were exactly the same. They were made from the same mold. Whether it was the pattern or the style, it could be said that there was no bias at all, and it looked like it was in his own name. The word "ru" is newly engraved.
After looking through it carefully for a while, the smile on the face of the mother-in-law on the side was almost exaggerated. Shao Wanru put down the bracelets he was comparing and glanced sideways at the mother-in-law. It was so early in the morning that she didn't know if she was tired from work. Yes, sweat has already appeared on the mother-in-law’s forehead after just a while...
