The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 302 Incense (4)
Zhao Jing was still able to stabilize her mind, but Zhang's mother, who had always loved Xu Xian, was stunned, her eyes fixed on the man's body several times, and she was speechless for a moment.On the other hand, the other party saw the visitor, greeted him at the door, lowered his eyes towards Zhao Jing, leaned forward, and said, "This must be Mrs. Wu Anhou."

Zhao Jing returned a half salute to her, nodded and said: "Exactly, Layman Wei, excuse me."

Wei Zhuyun glanced at Zhao Jing indifferently, she was generous, humble and polite.She pulled the curtain with her own hands, and invited Zhao Jing and Zhang's mother into the house.

In the middle hall of the meditation room, there is a statue of Guanyin. On the long table in front of the statue, there is a three-legged suanni incense burner, and the three sticks of incense in it have been burned to the bottom.Wei Zhuyun deftly lit the candle on the long table, re-lit the incense, and continued to worship, clasped his hands together, and muttered something in his mouth.

Zhao Jing also bowed to the Buddha statue with her before being led all the way to the inner bedroom.Zhao Jing then sat down on the bamboo chair under the window, and the tea had already been brewed on the tea table, which was warm with You Ran.

Wei Zhuyun sat down on the embroidered pier in front of her, lowered her eyebrows, and moved the sandalwood beads in her palm with her slender fingers, making regular "pop" sounds.Zhao Jing took a sip of the clear tea. Although the tea leaves were mediocre, the taste of the mountain spring brewed was also fragrant, leaving a lingering fragrance in the mouth.Zhao Jing put down the teacup, raised her head and said to her: "I have heard that Layman Wei is profound in Buddhism. Our old lady respects such a person the most. If you are free some other day, would the layman come to give a lecture to the old lady?"

It is not uncommon for people from a noble family to invite lay masters to recite sutras. What's more, some temples are enshrined all the year round. Whenever there is any matter in the family, the master will be invited to recite.Mrs. Xu has soft ears and often has some preconceived notions. If you want her to completely change her view of Sister Xian's birth mother, it will be effective unless she recognizes this person first.

Hearing this, Wei Zhuyun frowned slightly, but his face remained expressionless, and he said indifferently: "I have been ignoring worldly affairs for a long time, I'm afraid I can't promise Mrs. Hou, please forgive me."

Zhao Jing lowered her eyebrows when she heard the words, but Zhang's mother who was standing beside her became anxious. She didn't know what Zhao Jing was thinking, and was about to speak to persuade her, but Zhao Jing said: "Laymen don't care about worldly things. Of course it is true, but the secular world may not be so, it is not so much that I invited lay monks to give lectures to the old lady, but there is actually another matter." After Zhao Jing finished speaking, she only paused, raised her head and settled down Looking at Wei Zhuyun calmly, he continued: "I have a niece who was lost at a young age and grew up beside the old lady, so she developed some cowardly and timid habits. Although she is only fourteen years old, her mind is still immature. , seeing that next year I will discuss marriage and leave the cabinet, how can I be at ease as an aunt, I'm afraid..."

Before Zhao Jing finished speaking, Wei Zhuyun's originally calm expression suddenly became a little more slumped, a pair of elegant and leisurely eyes condensed into a gleam, and he turned his head to look at Zhao Jing, he was already hesitant to speak expression.

How many mothers in the world can really abandon their children, let alone a mother like her who has been helplessly deprived of her children.

"Didn't Master Hou say that... is everything okay with that child?" Her voice trembled a little, and there were tears in her dry eyes.

"Master Hou has been fighting outside all year round, so it is inevitable that he can't take care of these trivial matters in the back house. If Sister Xian is doing well, I have to see Layman Wei in person to know. In my opinion, it is not very good." Zhao Jing said that she was not To scare her, after all, Xu Xian is 14 years old, and it is imminent for Jiji to leave the court. If she still has such a temper, in the future, the marriage will have to be found in the family affairs, but even if it is not as good as Wu'an Hou's family, it is necessary to enter the door. How can a mistress stand up without any skills?
"I..." Wei Zhuyun's cheeks facing the sun became paler, the wandering in his eyes flashed past, and after thinking about it, he said: "Then if Madam has any orders someday, just send someone to come pick me up."

Seeing that she finally complied, Zhao Jing felt a little bit as stubborn as her mother, so she finally breathed a sigh of relief.In recent years, Wei Zhuyun has been far away from the world, and has already acquired an extraordinary and refined temperament. Presumably, the old lady will be full of praise when she sees her.

After the matter was settled, it was a worthwhile trip at last, Zhao Jing and Zhang's mother sat in the meditation room for a while, then got up and said goodbye.The weather was hot when we came here, but at this time, a few dark clouds had already risen. When the three of them arrived at the gazebo just now, they could only hear thunderstorms, and big raindrops had already fallen down on their heads and faces.

The paper umbrella used to shade the sun was a little too small after all. Zhao Jing saw that it was raining heavily, so she led Mama Zhang and others to hide in the gazebo by the side of the mountain road.The three of them waited together for about a cup of tea, but who knows that the rain has no intention of stopping at all.Mother Zhang said: "Qingwu, you wait here with Madam, I will go back and call the little maid to bring an umbrella."

The road is slippery after the rain, the mountain road is easy to walk, Zhang's mother is getting old again, Zhao Jing is naturally worried, seeing her go out in the rain, she hastily called Qingwu to take an umbrella to follow, and she was in the gazebo Waiting for someone to bring an umbrella over.
