The splendor of the red mansion

Chapter 14 Incense (2)
"I haven't seen you for many years, Brother Ruhai, let's come in and talk about it."

The Zen room is completely different from the magnificent palace outside.An empty room, a bright lamp, a few scriptures, and a few futons.The well-known lawyer Zhenhuan is not wearing cassocks, but the Buddha's light is shining brightly.Just wearing a gray cloth monk's robe, with a long white beard, he is just an ordinary old monk who is inconspicuous.It's just the faint light in those eyes that makes people feel respectful.Seeing Lin Ruhai and his group come in, Lawyer Zhenhuan gave a huff, and turned his gaze to Yinzhen, and then looked at Daiyu who was held in Yinzhen's hand.

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, how is Master?"

Master Zhenhuan laughed and said, "Brother Ruhai is worried. Is this Brother Ruhai's daughter?"

Lin Ruhai raised his eyebrows, made it on the futon on one side, and said with a smile: "You old monk is very well informed." Master Zhenhuan shook his head and sighed with a smile, "How can monks inquire about these things? The poor monk once said that Master Lin was destined to die There is only one daughter, but do you believe it now?" Lin Ruhai nodded and said, "If you don't believe me, I won't come to see you either." When he was young, Lin Ruhai was still in the capital and had a close relationship with Master Zhenhuan.Master Zhenhuan once said that Lin Ruhai had five sons, and when a daughter was born in Huachao.Lin Ruhai was young and energetic, so he didn't believe in the theory of facial fortune telling.She swore that she would give birth to a son in the future.I don't want to marry Jia Min and have not been pregnant for many years. Even if I took one or two concubines, no one became pregnant.It was not until Lin Ruhai was 35 years old that she gave birth to Daiyu, who was born during the Flower Festival on the twelfth day of the second lunar month.Another year passed, and Jia Min died shortly after giving birth to a son.Only then did Lin Ruhai believe that she was destined to have no children, and she no longer cared about raising her only daughter as a treasure.

Master Zhenhuan looked at Daiyu, who was kneeling on the futon, and smiled at Lin Ruhai: "If you have a daughter like this, brother Ruhai will be your life's comfort." Which parent doesn't like others to praise their children, even if Daiyu is naughty on weekdays? The troublemaker made Lin Ruhai dumbfounded. In Lin Ruhai's heart, his precious daughter is also the cutest and smartest in the world.So she said with a smile: "Master is too good. This girl is usually very naughty." Daiyu next to her heard her father say that she was naughty, she wrinkled her little nose and was extremely aggrieved, so she just quietly went to Yinzhen's side.Everyone just smiled.Yinzhen lowered his head and rubbed Daiyu's little head, his eyes were gentle and silent to comfort the little man.Master Zhenhuan saw it, but he smiled lightly and said: "This young master is very noble, he must come from an extraordinary family background. The old monk said one more word, and the young master just listen to it?"

Yinzhen said seriously: "I would like to listen to the master's teaching."

"Don't dare to teach. Since I was born here, I hope that you will have more compassion to save the world."

Yinzhen was puzzled, but he didn't ask any more questions.He just said: "Thank you, Master for teaching." Master Zhenhuan nodded, took a string of rosary beads from his wrist, and handed them over, "Since you are here, it is also fate. This bead is for you." Yinzhen took it with both hands. , but it is a string of phoenix-eyed Bodhi rosary beads. The body of the beads is smooth and visible for many years.The whole string of rosary beads seemed to be covered with faint fluorescent light. Holding it in his hand, Yin Zhen felt that the depression in his heart during these days had dissipated a lot, and he was slightly startled and said: "Thank you, Master, for your kind gift." Master Zhen Huan just smiled and said nothing.

Not long after Lin Ruhai and lawyer Zhenhuan had been together for many years, when the three of Jia Min met with the master, they were taken out by the little novice to enjoy the scenery of the back mountain, leaving Lin Ruhai alone to reminisce with the master.

In the meditation room, there are two cups of tea and a furnace of sandalwood.

Lin Ruhai put down his teacup, looked at Master Zhenhuan who was sitting quietly with his eyes closed, and said, "Master, what do you think of that young master just now?"

Master Zhenhuan opened his eyes and looked at him, "Prince Longsun, how is An Neng?"

"So you have already seen his identity? You monk is so stingy, you didn't even give my Yu'er a greeting gift. Instead, you gave it to the fourth elder brother."

Master Zhenhuan was also a free-spirited and generous person, he didn't mind shaking his head and said with a smile: "You asked me for a meeting ceremony. Forget it..." He picked up a string of beads on the Buddhist scriptures and handed them to Lin Ruhai, but it was a string of beads. Longan bodhi.Lin Ruhai was also polite, took it and put it away.Seeing Master Zhenhuan put away his unrestrained and unrestrained attitude just now, Jun Mei frowned slightly: "Master, what do you think of my jade?" Master Zhenhuan sighed: "I knew that nothing good will happen when you come. The world of mortals When will the old monk be able to achieve the right fruit?" Lin Ruhai sneered: "When did you, the monk, cultivate the right fruit? Since you are in the world of mortals, you must be entangled in the world. I don't ask you, but my jade is really real. I'm a little worried."

It turned out that Daiyu had been extremely weak since birth, and last year a monk with a skinny head came and wanted her to become a monk. Lin Ruhai and his wife had only this daughter, how could they be willing to do so.The scarlet-headed monk also said that since he hated him, he was afraid that his illness would never recover in his lifetime.If it is a good time, unless we are not allowed to see crying from now on, except for parents, all relatives and friends with other surnames will not be seen, so that this life can be peaceful.But how much easier said than done?Just talking about a three or four-year-old girl, no matter how sensible she is, it is impossible not to cry, not to mention that if she doesn't see relatives and friends with other surnames, wouldn't Daiyu be left alone for the rest of her life?Now that their husband and wife are still in Daiyu's age, it doesn't matter, Jia Min has always been in poor health, if one day their husband and wife are gone, how will their daughter live?Naturally, Lin Ruhai couldn't let her daughter live like this, so the next day, she went to see Master Yunxu of Lingyin Temple and the abbot of Baopu Taoist Temple.Seeing Lin Ruhai's love for her daughter, these two worked together to make a fortune teller for Daiyu, but they said that this girl still has a relationship in the world and cannot become a monk.If you go to the north, there may be a way to crack it.Only then did Lin Ruhai return to Beijing with his wife and daughter.

After hearing Lin Ruhai's words, Master Zhenhuan also knew how much Lin Ruhai worried about his daughter under his seemingly chic appearance.He just said: "Don't worry. I don't think your son-in-law seems to have died young. It's unknown if the cloud goes to the north and now the fate is broken." Lin Ruhai thought that Daiyu's body didn't seem to have changed since she entered Beijing. I have been sick, and I don't know how much better than before, and my heart is at ease.He frowned at Master Zhenhuan and said, "Others don't know, but Master should know that Zhuo Jing is now... and I don't know how long it will last. I'm afraid that in the future, we will have something in the future, leaving Yu'er alone in the world and not knowing how to live."

Master Zhen Huan was speechless, even if he is a foreigner, he should pity the hearts of parents all over the world.

The Zen master was silent for a long time, only to hear Master Zhenhuan groaning in a low voice: "The entanglement in the past life is difficult to resolve, and the tears of blood must be returned in the end. Jiuxiao Linghe pity Qing's tears, and Shura has become an immortal."
