Chapter 630 You and My Buddha Have Destiny
Speaking of Xiao's daughter-in-law, Lin Wanwan thought of another thing, which was quite strange to her.

A few days ago, for some reason, Lu Shouyue sent her a lot of books and materials about the Great Tang clan, saying that she liked Tang Shi, who specially found them for her.

He also gave her popular science about a lot of bloody battles among clansmen, it was almost a history of blood and tears at every turn, the struggle was too fierce.

She didn't even know why Lu Shouyue suddenly became interested in the Great Tang clan and taught her such a class.

Then Lin Wanwan found out about the Lanling Xiao family in these materials, and looked through them in her spare time.

The Xiao family in Lanling is known as "the ups and downs of the Tang Dynasty", but it did not experience much bloody storms during the Tang Dynasty.

It's just that in the information provided by Lu Shouyue, in addition to the struggle for power between the powerful and the powerful, and between the powerful and the imperial power, there are also many stories about the secrets of the powerful.

For example, Lin Wanwan is more interested in Xiao Chong's lineage, and there are various records of house fights and conspiracies in wild history.

It's hard to tell the truth from the fake, and it's nonsense in all likelihood.

It's as if later generations wrote that Empress Xiao married Li Shimin, it's all nonsense, just to satisfy their own examination of beautiful women.

Lin Wanwan has now come to Datang to see it with her own eyes. Empress Xiao, who is in her 60s, did not marry Li Shimin, who is in her 30s!

Although Li Shimin was not taboo about meat and vegetables, and occupied his brothers and wives, he admired and respected Empress Xiao for her name.

Not to mention these unofficial historical records, there are still some serious materials, Lin Wanwan saw the sad side of the Xiao family's female family members again.

The Lanling Xiao family has been fond of Buddhism ever since they became the emperor's ancestors, and they are still as devout in Xiao Yu's generation.

Xiao Yu also sent three daughters to the Buddha, and they became nuns. In the royal temple where Wu Zetian became a monk, the ancient Buddha with blue lamps accompanied him all his life!
Speaking of which, women in feudal society really have no human rights. The power of the father and husband is greater than the sky, and the fate is dominated by others.

Xiao Yu's eldest daughter was only three years old when she became a monk. What did she know?Lin Wanwan had mentioned it briefly when she checked the information before.

However, in the materials Lu Shouyue gave her, there were several papers on this matter, which Lin Wanwan found quite credible.

According to the above analysis, based on the epitaphs of Xiao Yu's three daughters after their death, the second daughter may have become a monk voluntarily because she had a very high understanding of Buddhism and achieved a lot in Zen.

The other two daughters are likely to sacrifice for the family and become monks for political purposes.

When Xiao Yu's eldest daughter was three years old, it happened to be half a year after Yang Guang was established as the crown prince. At the same time, it was also the year when Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty abolished the public schools in the world and sent people to build pagodas in the thirty states of the world to enshrine Buddhist relics.

This is an extremely important year for the development of Buddhism in China, which indicates that Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty despised Confucianism and valued Buddhism, and wanted to rule the country with Buddhism.

And Xiao Yu, Yang Guang's brother-in-law, made his three-year-old daughter a monk this year, obviously with a strong political purpose.

It is not only a bargaining chip to consolidate the position of Prince Yang Guang, but also a bet for the development of the Xiao family.

The eldest daughter's renunciation is politically helpful to the family, but in turn, it can also show that her life was sacrificed for the family.

Xiao Yu's youngest daughter was just born this year, and according to historical records, she became a monk in the 20th year of Zhenguan.

That year happened to be the year when Xiao Yu had conflicts with Li Shimin. He said in a fit of anger that he wanted to become a monk (he had said this several times), and Li Shimin directly agreed this time, saying that you should become a monk. I regretted it.

Later, because he failed to fight against Fang Xuanling, Taizong dismissed him again.

This time, the result of dismissing the prime minister was more serious, because he was also deprived of the title of Song Guogong, and was demoted from Chang'an, and transferred to Shangzhou to take charge of the government.

In this year, his youngest daughter suddenly became a monk. It is not difficult to guess that it was to take the responsibility for her father.

In any era, if a person enjoys the glory and good life given by the family, he must also bear the responsibility for the development of the family.

Lin Wanwan, after reading the information on the descendants of the Xiao family, always felt that men could rely on the power of the family and their own knowledge to fight for a future, but women were mostly driven by fate.

This made her feel less regretful about rejecting Xiao Chong.

After all, there is too much gap between her and Xiao Chong.

Not to mention the children she may have in the future, even if Xiao Qingyu, who has been raised for two years, sacrifices her life's happiness for some family mission, she is not willing.

There are people with golden fingers, but they can't protect their children for a safe and happy life!

She has no ambitions, she just wants to live a wanton and relaxed life, so that her family can also lie flat and be a wealthy individual.

If such a life is tied to the Xiao family, it will be impossible to realize it. The higher the official position, the harder it is to be alone.

With Xiao Chong's talent, he will not be released forever, and sooner or later he will return to Chang'an City, the power center.

At that time, many things will be involuntary.

Walking in Daxingshan Temple, Lin Wanwan thought of Xiao Yu's three monk daughters, and the more she thought about it, the heavier her heart became. After all, Xiao Chong was the one who made her heart beat uncontrollably.

While wandering around the temple unconsciously, Lin Wanwan came to the lecture place unknowingly.

The person who is speaking on the altar today is a third brother, who speaks Tang officials fluently, with a lower accent than Lin Wanwan.

Lin Wanwan's mind was attracted, and curiously entered the hall to listen to the lecture, and squeezed next to an old man in purple robe.

The people who listened to the scriptures were all fascinated by it, and they didn’t know if they really understood it. Looking around, they could clearly distinguish the ranks and ranks of the people present from their clothes.

The rich and honored are in the temple, and the poor are crowding outside the temple.

The old man next to Lin Wanwan was wearing a purple brocade robe, so he was at least a third-rank official.

It was only when she listened to it for a while that she realized that she didn't have much understanding of Buddhism and Taoism, and started looking around, that she suddenly remembered it.

At this moment, the master on the stage suddenly stopped lecturing, and looked at the absent-minded Lin Wanwan: "This female Tanyue is the most Buddha-like appearance of a Buddhist girl that the poor monk has ever seen in his life. Now, what are your thoughts and feelings?"

"Hey?"

Are you talking about me?
Lin Wanwan was confused by the gazes of Monk Ah San and the people around her, what's the matter, why did you mention me when she was talking about the scriptures?
Looking at all kinds of gazes around her, Lin Wanwan quickly put on a dignified posture, and said slowly: "Master, I don't understand Buddhism, I just have a Buddha in my heart. Bodhi has no tree, and a bright mirror is not a stand..."

As soon as this statement came out, there was a sudden gasp in the surroundings.

Lin Wanwan also immediately realized that these words were too high-level, she was in the state of seeing one's nature and becoming a Buddha, and she couldn't bear it.

But these words are so famous, Lin Wanwan, a person who doesn't understand Buddhism at all, can also recite this song proficiently. She was called out under the eyes of everyone. She had nothing else to say, so she blurted out in order to cope.

Ah San and the big and small monks around him had already stood up, excitedly said: "Daughter Tanyue, you are destined for my Buddha!"
