Chapter 8 008: Stupid

  The old lady got off the carriage with Lu Xiang, and Lu Xiang quietly watched the curling green smoke rising from the huge incense burner on the square in front of her, listening to the distant and long bell, her impetuous heart subconsciously calmed down.

   "Amitabha, good morning, Master Lu." A young novice clasped his hands together, walked quickly to the old lady and said, "I received your letter yesterday. The room has been arranged, please come inside."

   "Thank you, little master." The old lady clasped her hands and bowed back.

  She is a frequent visitor of Hua'an Temple, and she is also the mother of the magistrate. From the abbot to the little monk who sweeps the house, she dare not neglect her.

   Let alone staying for ten days and half a month, even if they live in the first half of the year, they have to make proper arrangements.

  Hua'an Temple is very large, with a bamboo forest separating the front hall and the backyard.

  The backyard is divided into two, with one wing for male guests and the other for female guests.

  The little novice led the old lady and Lu Xiang to an independent courtyard, and then left.

Mother Wen took the little maids to bring the salutes into the house, put them away one by one, pointed to a room next to the old lady's bedroom, and said to Yun Zhe and Wuyue: "The third lady lives in the old lady's room." The room next door, you two, go and clean it up."

   "Okay, Mama Wen."

  The old lady held Lu Xiang's hand and asked with a kind smile, "Xiangxiang, are you tired?"

Lu Xiang looked at the old lady's fragile distressed look like a porcelain doll, her heart was warm, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was as sweet as sugar: "I'm not tired, but grandma, after sitting in the carriage for so long, are you tired?" Tired, do you want to take a rest?"

   "Grandmother is not tired, I will go to the front hall to offer incense and chant scriptures, and you go around first." The old lady said "Oh, my granddaughter cares about me, so happy".

  Lu Xiang took the old lady's arm: "You can see the scenery anytime, I will go with grandma."

  After hearing this, the old lady was elated again.

   On the mast of the main hall of Hua'an Temple, the plaque of "Main Hall" hangs high, and the tall Xumizuo is carved and built with white marble, which is crystal clear and white. On the seat is a golden Buddha statue of Sakyamuni, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, who can save all living beings. Eighteen exquisite gilt Arhat statues are enshrined against the walls on both sides, each with a different look.

  Lu Xiang knelt in front of the Buddha statue, her eyes staring blankly.

  The Buddha has a spirit, right? You have seen the fate of a believer in the previous life, so you let her be reborn, so that she can take revenge on those who harmed her and bullied her.

  There is too much hatred in her heart, corroding her flesh and blood all the time.

  The Buddha smiled, and his benevolent eyes seemed to be comforting Lu Xiang: "My child, it is your blessing to be able to live in two lives. Don't kill again and get bad results."

  But Buddha, if she doesn’t kill her, she can only wait to be killed.

   To live a new life, she just wants to pick up the butcher knife and kill all the enemies.

   "Xiangxiang...Xiangxiang..."

  The calling sound in the ear gradually became clearer from far to near.

  Lu Xiang regained consciousness, turned to look at the old lady, the incense in her hand was already half burned.

   "What are you thinking about, so preoccupied?" The old lady asked with a smile.

Lu Xiang pursed her lips and smiled softly: "Looking at the Buddha's benevolent face, I was thinking about how many things I have done to anger my grandmother." She inserted the incense into the incense burner, and bowed three times reverently: "What does my grandmother want to say to me?" ?”

   "You child, don't let your imagination run wild." The old lady patted Lu Xiang's head affectionately.

  She is also afraid that her granddaughter will think too much, and the previously unfamiliar and fearful feelings about her will reappear, thus alienating her.

   After all, she really likes this granddaughter who likes to be attached to her, well-behaved, and loves to laugh.

"There is a chef in Hua'an Temple who is very good at making vegetarian food. Grandma will take you to pay for it." The old lady pulled Lu Xiang up and said with a smile, "Don't think it's just a cook in the temple. It's not so easy to eat his dishes. , either rely on fate, or come to make an appointment in advance, I asked Mother Wen to find out, today this cook is destined for us, and he happens to be in charge of the cooking."

"OK."

   "Especially his Jiuhua Buddha Light, even though it is a vegetarian dish, even Duke An is full of praise."

   "Really? Even Duke An is famous here?" Lu Xiang was really surprised. She knew who Duke An was, but she had never heard of the vegetarian dishes made by Hua'an Temple cooks being so praised.

  After all, she only came to Hua'an Temple once at this time in her previous life, and she was still with Lu Mingzhu.

   Not to mention today's scene where her grandmother enthusiastically took her to eat Vegetarian food.

   "That's not true." The old lady shook Lu Xiang's hand, and said with a smile: "So I said that today the cook is destined for us, and he happened to make this Jiuhua Buddha light."

  Lu Xiang licked his lips, and quickened his steps: "Grandma, go quickly."

   Delicious food should be served while it is hot.

  In the back garden of the Lu Mansion, Aunt Yao hurriedly found Mrs. Liu, and she rolled her eyes angrily when she saw the mother and daughter sitting in the pavilion eating snacks with all smiles on their faces.

   "Liu He..."

Hearing this angry roar, Mrs. Liu choked in her throat in fright. She drank a cup of tea and finally swallowed it. She looked at Aunt Yao dissatisfiedly: "Sister Yao, what are you doing in such a surprise? Scared to death by you."

  Aunt Yao gritted her teeth: "You are very leisurely. The old lady has been in Huaning Temple for eight days. Are you indifferent?"

  Ms. Liu regained her breath, and couldn't help but sneered when she heard this, and said, "Sister Yao, there's no need to hide between the two of us, why should I be so anxious if the old lady doesn't come back?"

  It would be better if the old woman died outside, so that no one can stop the master from helping her upright.

  The old lady is not in the mansion, Liu's life is unprecedentedly comfortable, she has Lu Youping's doting, the whole mansion respects her very well, it seems that they regard themselves as the head of the house.

   "Idiot." Aunt Yao couldn't bear it anymore and cursed.

  Liu's face darkened, and she stood up from the stool: "You are crazy, why are you scolding me?"

   Are you sick?

   First scare her, then scold her.

  Bitch, when she becomes Mrs. Lu, she will be the first to kick you out of the house.

   Aunt Yao looked at the charming and charming Liu Shi in front of her, unwilling and jealous.

  Back then, she had chosen Mrs. Liu to send her to the master, because she wanted to make things difficult for the wife, so as to drive a wedge between her and the master.

  At first, she thought that the master wanted her beauty to be a novelty, but what she never expected was that Liu He made the master fall in love with him and became the person on top of his heart.

  The jealousy in Aunt Yao's heart grew like a vine.

  Obviously she is not bad in appearance, and she gave birth to a son, but the master's eyes just don't want to linger on her.

  There is no favor, so now she can only firmly hold Yao Shi's chess piece.

   It's also fortunate that Mrs. Liu is not smart enough, otherwise, she would not dare to take advantage of such a woman easily.

  Thinking of this, Aunt Yao is not so angry at Liu's stupidity.
