The lady escaped marriage and became addicted

Chapter 71 The Little Bird's Peach Blossom (5)
An Ran has never worshiped Buddha in her previous life, so she doesn't understand anything.Gu Wanniang knows a little bit better, for example, when entering the door, it is important to know which leg to step on first, and then burn incense and kowtow to donate sesame oil money.An Ran didn't pay attention to how much sesame oil her mother donated, she was only curious to find out that when she prostrated, her head really had to hit the ground, which was different from what she had seen in her previous life.Those who worshiped Bodhisattvas that An Ran met in the previous life seemed to be counted as bowing, where is prostration?

An Ran sincerely worshiped the Bodhisattva for the first time, hoping that the Bodhisattva would bless the whole family with good health, and bless her father to be successful in the examination.When she stood up, she realized that Qian Rui was also kneeling on the futon beside her, praying to the Bodhisattva, and she didn't know what he was asking for.Perhaps it was also for the sake of passing the provincial examination?Or do you want to ask the Bodhisattva to give him a daughter-in-law who suits his heart?
After Qian Rui prayed and kowtowed, he suddenly smiled softly at An Ran when he got up.An Ran would never have imagined that Qian Rui neither begged the Bodhisattva to bless him in the examination, nor begged the Bodhisattva to give him a wife who is suitable for him, but begged the Bodhisattva to bless a little girl named Zhao Anran to grow up safely and healthy. Big.

Then, Mrs. Wen asked Gu Wanniang to go with her to sit in the meditation room prepared for the benefactor at the back and have a rest.

At this time, Qian Rui suddenly proposed: "Mrs. Zhao, I want to take Miss Ran to meet Master Mingjing."

Although Gu Wanniang moved to the county not long ago, she has still heard the name of Master Ming Jing.It is said that Master Mingjing is a well-known eminent monk who often travels abroad and usually does not meet lay people.

Mrs. Wen saw that Gu Wanniang was a little puzzled, so she took Gu Wanniang's hand and smiled softly: "You don't know, Wanniang, my master and Master Mingjing are old friends, so my brother Rui is also familiar with Master Mingjing. When you come back from Beijing, ask him to show Sister Ran."

Gu Wanniang nodded quickly when she heard this.Since there is this opportunity to meet the master, of course it is good.

Qian Rui and An Ran walked along the corridor to Master Ming Jing's meditation room.Along the way, cherries were planted everywhere in the small garden outside the porch and on the side of the road. An Ran couldn't help but sigh: "There are so many cherry trees, how many cherries will grow? When the cherries are red, will the big monk and the little monk be busy?" Not coming?"

Qian Rui couldn't help laughing and said: "Don't worry, this is a big income of Feixue Temple every spring and summer, and if they are too busy, they won't let the cherries go bad."

It turned out that the monk wanted to take out the cherries and sell them for money!An Ran secretly sighed.Then next month, next month, will she encourage her mother to come to offer incense and worship Buddha?Hey, in fact, her favorite fruit is cherries, but unfortunately, the ripening period of this fruit is too short, so she can't eat enough every year.Later, there were those cherries that were transported from other places and could last for longer periods of time. They were darker in color and sweeter in taste, but An Ran didn't like them.It has been the third spring since she came here, and she can only drool over the cherries in her dreams.

"arrive."

An Ran was still drooling at the cherry tree, but when she heard Qian Rui's words, she realized that she had already arrived at the door of a meditation room.

"Master Mingjing, junior Qian Rui, junior brought Miss Zhao here."

Qian Rui's voice was very respectful, which made An Ran have to be cautious.

The room was very quiet, but after a while, a kind voice was heard saying leisurely: "You two benefactors, please come in."

Only then did Qian Rui open the door, and walked in holding An Ran's hand.

Walking into the meditation room, An Ran smelled a familiar fragrance of tea.

"It's so fragrant!" This is the real tea!Tea is boiled with green onion, ginger and orange peel, so is it still called tea?An Ran looked at the pot of tea on the coffee table in front of Master Mingjing, which was exuding the fragrance of tea, and immediately ran over, looking at him eagerly.

Master Mingjing's eyebrows and beard are gray, but there are no age spots on his face. Judging from the skin and wrinkles, he should not be very old. An Ran estimates that he is no more than 60 years old at most.

"Hehe!" Master Ming Jing stroked his beard and looked at An Ran with a smile, took out a teacup that was turned upside down from the tea tray with a wooden clip, poured her a cup, raised his hand and said, "It's rare that the benefactor knows good tea at such a young age." .Little benefactor please!"

An Ran only felt that he was kind-hearted, and he looked like a kind old grandfather.She bowed her head and thanked the master, and then happily took up the teacup with both hands, first squinted her eyes slightly to smell the tea fragrance, then moved it to her mouth, and took a small sip.Then, she seemed to take a deep breath, aftertaste for a while, then picked up the teacup and took a second sip.

Master Mingjing looked at An Ran with a smile, nodded slightly, and called Qian Rui who came in to sit down, poured him a cup of tea, and said, "This is a newly popular green tea in the capital, Minzhi, you should try it too."

Qian Rui thanked Master, sat down cross-legged, took a sip from the teacup, frowned slightly and said, "This is too weak, it doesn't have any taste, no wonder it's called clear tea."

Master Mingjing shook his head slightly, smiled and did not answer, but turned to An Ran and asked, "It seems that the little benefactor knows how to taste tea. Can the little benefactor tell me how the tea tastes?"

An Ran looked at Master Mingjing, then at Qian Rui who was frowning, hesitated for a moment before saying: "Master, I like this light taste. It smells very fragrant. It was a bit bitter when I first drank it, but the aftertaste is refreshing and fragrant. There is a hint of sweetness. The tea soup I ate before has a lot of things added to cover up the fragrance, which I don’t like.”

Master Mingjing nodded and said: "Yes! This is the original taste of tea. In the past, adding onion and ginger, red dates, orange peel, mint, and salt, no matter what was added, it is not the taste of tea itself. I didn’t know what real tea is until I drank this clear tea. Minzhi, you can go back to your father and ask, if you taste this Dou’s clear tea, you won’t be able to drink the tea soup from before gone."

Qian Rui nodded, looked at An Ran, then looked at Master Ming Jing eagerly and said: "Master, please help Miss Zhao to see."

Master Ming Jing nodded to An Ran with a smile, stretched out his hand to draw her to his side, carefully looked at her facial features, and took her hand to read the palmistry, then nodded with a smile: "You are a lucky child, you will be safe I grew up." Then, he paused, and said to An Ran, "Little benefactor, I would like to invite your father to come here to drink tea in his spare time, how about it?"
