Heroes of the Sons and Daughters

Chapter 62 Recognizing the Futon Illusion and Worshiping the Family Temple
After a while, someone replied: "Master Zhang's family has come with Mr. Deng Jiu." After hearing this, Mr. An greeted him quickly.Mrs. An also took the girl and Zhang's mother and daughter to the courtyard. Across a second door, Deng Jiugong had heard Deng Jiugong yelling outside with a smile: "brother! bro! Long time no see! Long time no see! How can you think of it?" It’s broken, Brother Yu!” I also heard the master greet him there, and said, “I’m sure my brother will come, but why did he come so early today?” Jiu Gong said: “It’s a long story, wait for us to wait Talk slowly." As he spoke, he entered the second gate, and everyone greeted him.

I saw that the old man was not dressed as before: he was wearing pointed boots with double-wrapped sash, real-sole and triple-sole, and he was old and playful. He was lined with a spring silk jacket in the color of rice soup, and he was wearing a crimson-colored one with black hair. Kusi lamb's skin-deficient gown, covered with a mandarin jacket with a fever inside and out, covered with grass and frost, with a plate of golden thread Bodhi rosary hanging on his chest, and another Hanyu circle, tied with three An inch-long tortoiseshell beard, a kind of sheep hat, four taels of red tassels, with his golden crown of martial arts talent on it.Chu Yiguan also followed behind in full clothes, and because he came to the place where Mr. An was, he also put on a gold cap, but it was that year when the Yellow River opened and the local government donated relief, Deng Jiugong gave him two hundred silver for discussion. The eighth-rank top wear.

Deng Jiugong came in, met Mrs. An, Mrs. Zhang, and Ms. Zhang in a hurry, then walked up to Ms. Yufeng to say hello, and said, "Girl, we have been separated for a whole year, and the master misses you all the time! " As he said, he tore off a piece of handkerchief from his waist, wiped his eyes, looked at the girl carefully, and said, "Okay, my face is fatter." The girl also thanked him for his troubles before, this time intention of coming.

Just as he was talking, Mrs. Chu had already got off the car at the door, and Nanny Dai also followed after finishing her work, and helped Mrs. Chu in, followed by two or three wives with him.

Let's not say that Mrs. Chu is dressed up here, and even the people around him are dressed in two-blue palace silk jackets, new trousers and new shoes.Mrs. An joined him as if meeting him after a long absence.Mrs. Chu has seen everyone, so she hurried over to see the girl.I saw a few pearls and emeralds of the inner style on his head, lined with a light pink floral satin padded jacket, a dark lotus color crepe ermine cape with folded branches of plum blossoms, and a pine flower green squirrel lined squirrel. For the skirt, West Lake light damask has rolled-up sleeves, and the red and small mud collar is turned up.His face is like the autumn moon, and his body is like the spring breeze, with his willow-leaf eyebrows, apricot eyes, jade-like nose, and cherry-like mouth, plus two cinnabar moles on the sideburns and two spots on his cheeks. The dimples appear red and white, sweet and full.When Mrs. Chu saw it, she said in her heart: "Here is the thirteenth sister who has been running Qingyun Mountain for a year!" I shed a few tears.The girl choked and said, "I only know that you hide when you are leaving, and I will never see you again in this life!" Mrs. Chu said, "I came here from a long distance today, but I just came to accompany this person! I am very happy today. Let's not cry!" Master An said: "Please come in and sit down and talk." Saying this, he moved into the main room.

Everyone entered the door and divided into men and women.Deng Jiugong, Chu Yiguan, Mr. Zhang and Mr. An sat on the chairs on the east side, and Mrs. Chu, Mrs. Zhang, He Yufeng and Mrs. An sat on the chairs on the west side.Mrs. An also asked Zhang Jinfeng to move a seat and sit down.Needless to say, there is naturally some smoke and tea.Deng Jiugong made a few gossips first, and then praised the house.I only heard Mrs. an say to Jiugong: "At such a young age, and on such a long journey, I even alarmed my aunt and aunt to come with me. This is all for our eldest girl." Deng Jiugong said: "Second sister, don't mention it anymore. That's why it's called 'starting at five o'clock and catching up with the evening market'! I thought I'd arrive in the middle of the month, but I didn't want to be hit by a few days of weather on the road. I arrived in Zhuozhou today, and I was a good friend of ours. Had a drink, otherwise I would have arrived yesterday. Unexpectedly, when I crossed the Lugou Bridge yesterday, the tax bureau tortured me for a long time, and I rushed to Nanhaidian, where the lights were turned on. Fortunately, there was a relative of mine who was there. He stayed at his house for one night. Today is the fourth watch, so I can catch up with today's business." Master An said: "It's a coincidence that my brother came here, and I have something to ask for today."

While talking, I heard that the jingle of the clock had struck the second quarter of Maochu. The master said, "Let's chat slowly and be serious." Then he called, "Where is Yuge?" , Hearing his father's call, he hurried up.Master An told him: "It's time, just settle down. Logically, it's your elder sister who should respectfully invite you into the temple, but Dayuan, he can't go outside by himself, and besides, he has to kneel to receive him when he comes back. You It's right to walk around for him." Then he said: "For such an auspicious event, you can temporarily borrow my rank and put on the official uniform." The young master agreed and left.

Miss Yufeng thought this was too much of a fuss, but now she simply put on her official uniform and asked Master An, "Uncle, what should I do when I come back?" Mrs. An interjected, "Miss, don't panic. , I have to protect you. When I tell you, you just follow me." The girl got an idea at once, and she only looked forward to inviting the Buddha to come.

Not long after, I saw two family members coming in from the east, unlatched the screen door, stood on the left and right, and fixed the door.Then I heard the sound of boots slamming and creaking outside the door, and the screen door opened, and four family members in clothes and hats came in first, each holding a stick of incense, leading the team forward; The young master, wearing a public uniform, led people to bring in two colorful pavilions.At this time, there were already servants in the room holding a golden lacquer plate and a big red bundle, on which was a small sandalwood burner, which was filled with smoke.Mrs. An took the girl, knelt down on the right, and handed the censer plate to the girl to hold.How did the girl teach how to sing at this time, held the incense burner, and knelt there respectfully and straightly.Kneeling on one side, he couldn't help peeking out, and saw that those carrying the pavilion had placed the colorful pavilion in front of the eaves and removed the pole loops.When looking at the colorful pavilion, the two low-level Buddha statues in the front are only covered with red silk, but you can't see what Buddha is inside; the colorful pavilion in the back is lifted like a flat thing. , and laid flat, not like a Buddha statue, but also covered with red silk.The girl guessed in her heart: "Is this a portrait?" At that time, Mr. An also changed his official uniform, stood with everyone in the corridor, and said, "Please." The young master went to the Caiting Pavilion and invited the one from the west to enter Come, and put it on the local Eight Immortals table; after the second time, invite the one from the east, and put it on the bottom.Mrs. An asked someone to take the girl's incense burner and said, "girl, stand up." The girl stood up and looked out.He also heard Master An say to Deng Jiugong: "Brother, help me." Then they went to the colorful pavilion behind and lifted up the red silk. It turned out that there were two red silks, one tall, one short and one long brocade box.

Deng Jiugong held the long flat box, and Mr. An held the tall square box, and the young master came in after him.Deng Jiugong lifted the box upwards, then turned his body to the side, and said to the young master, "Old nephew, take it." The young master took it with both hands upwards, held it on the small table in the east.Then Mr. An came over and lifted the box upwards. Mrs. An said: "Girl, go and continue." Ling said, "This box should be placed on the small case in the west."

Sure enough, Mrs. an came to beg him to send him to the case to be safe.Mrs. an then said: "Girl, let's salute first, so that I can consecrate and settle down." Seeing that there were two Buddha statues, the girl kowtowed six heads as a way of asking.

I saw Mr. An went up to the red silk layer to dig out the sheet, and found that there was a small niche inside. When he went down the door of the facing niche, he saw that it was not a statue, but two memorial tablets.Mr. An said: "Girl, please come and pay respects to your two Buddhas." The girl came over and took a closer look, and saw that the inscription on the first tablet read: "Huang Qing granted Zhenwei doctor He Fu Jun Shenzhu", and the next The first one is: "Huang Qing appointed his wife He Mu Shang Taijun God." The girl suddenly realized, and said: "Uncle, you only said that you are asking the Buddha to ask the Buddha. It turns out that the God Lord was set up for my parents, but this is my niece's dream. Not here." Master An said: "It's always been a good saying, 'Respect your parents at home, why burn incense far away!' In this world, apart from the two Buddhas of your parents, where can you find Buddhas? You don't need to seek Buddhas to be filial to your parents. God will naturally bless you; if you are not filial to your parents, God will not tolerate it. How can you repent if you ask the Buddha? Besides, the Buddha is justified, he is not a boss who accepts bribes, he is not a boss who accepts bribes, no matter how you fawn on him, how can he bear it? What’s more, you meant to find a temple to be close to your parents. Now that I invite you to your family’s temple, won’t you stay together sooner or later? ——Happy to you Qingyunshan’ There are three chapters of the agreement', I have never broken my promise."

At this moment, the girl was so grateful that she burst into tears and had nothing to say.Master an said: "wait for me to order the Lord, and then please take your place." The girl didn't know what this "order the Lord" was, so she had to "enter the Taimiao and ask everything."Mr. an said: "you didn't see the dot of the word 'lord' on the god card? The god statue is called consecration, and the god card is called point master." Mrs. an pulled the girl and said, "you still kneel here to watch Come on, you just kowtow when you order a little." After the girl knelt down, Master An washed his hands and scented incense, and invited Deng Jiugong and Chu Yiguan to help him order.A long time ago, some family members prepared to put in ink pens, blue pens, cockscomb blood, and clean water, so Deng's son-in-law invited the god master out of the niche, and the master filled in the blue first, and then the red.The girl knelt there and only remembered to kowtow, and didn't have time to look carefully.

After finishing the order, enter the niche as usual.Master an stepped back, and the girl stood up.Master An then said: "Girl, it's up to you to set up the seat. But the two old men should be promoted to the seat, and you can't tell the difference; besides, your father's god is not good for you. Kan, this is what I told you about the daughter's family before, "Father respects, mother is dear". Now I also ask Yuge to do it for you, and you will praise the one in your court." The girl said in her heart : "Dare to say that the book "Sanli Huitong" was compiled by their family, so how can you speak more politely!" Only Weiwei agreed.

The master glanced at the young master, and the young master stepped forward to hold the one of Mr. He, and Miss He held the one of Mr. Shang, walked around the table of the Eight Immortals, and placed them on the god bed of the big altar on both sides. .You said that it’s a strange thing, but Mr. An and Miss He walked up, and suddenly a gust of wind blew from outside the door, making the paper on the window lattice squeak, and even the tassels hanging on the veil fluttered, as if they were real. It's like a god comes in one by one!
For a while, the gift was completed.A long time ago, many family members took down the Eight Immortals table and put the altar in place, then offered offerings and lit incense candles.There is an example before, which can no longer be discussed, that is, the son holds the rice and the girl eats the soup.After the offering, Mr. An solemnly offered two wines, stepped back, and asked Deng Jiugong to salute.

Deng Jiugong said: "No way. My brother, I didn't tell you what happened today. If I want to be regarded as standing on our girl's side, it is natural that you and Zhang Boss and your two relatives are together. You two compete, This matter is your heart, so you should tell the truth first, and we will be after that." Then he turned to Miss He and said, "Girl, do you think this is what you said? The girl said repeatedly: "Very well!" Master An didn't give in, so he went up to burn incense in the sandalwood burner and saluted.The girl bowed next to her.When everyone looked at the incense candle, they saw that the lamp had long eyebrows, the two flowers were about to smile, and the smoke formed precious seals, and the wisps were light, as if they were full of joy.Afterwards, Mrs. An saluted, and it was Mrs. Zhang and his wife.When Deng Jiugong arrived, he said to his daughter and son-in-law, "Let's knock the three of us together."

His father, daughter, and son-in-law worshiped, Deng Jiugong got up, and said to Mr. An: "Old nephew, your husband and wife should also worship together, so that you don't have to work on your sister." Mr. An said: "Kowtow to his uncle and aunt. Isn't it right! Do you still want the girl to say hello?"

The girl laughed and said, "'There's no way I don't kowtow to answer 'every courtesy'!" At this time, Miss Zhang had already gone to stand on the west side.Deng Jiugong said: "Girl, since you say that, you have to go to the top. How do you say it? There is a saying here: if you two old people are here, when their young couple kowtows, they will still bow to each other. After two prostrations, I had to stand at the top, not at the bottom." As she said that, Mrs. Chu pulled the girl to the east and stood there.Mr. An went up to burn incense piously, knelt down in the middle, and kowtowed.Ms. Zhang kowtowed here, and Ms. He returned the salute over there. They knelt down and bowed in pairs.

Lie Gong, do you remember the "Ming" on the back of the "Silent Golden Man" in Houji Temple that week?Said: "Beware! Don't talk too much, too much talk will lead to failure; don't do too much, too much trouble will cause more trouble." Just now, the serious girl also followed the slashing behavior of the past year: "Since you say no I'll return the courtesy, let's forget it!" Wouldn't it be the end of a day's event!But at this time, he was calm and concentrated, for fear of missing the festival, he had to answer the salute.I don't want to make this obeisance, but just synthesize a "famous flower with two pedicles", just like a golden chamber jade carving, a phoenix dancing and a dragon coiling!

Mrs. An, Mr. and Mrs. Deng's father and daughter watched from behind, nodding to each other, very happy.As I was watching, I saw that the candles on the altar table exploded together, the candle flame was more than five inches long, and a wisp of cigarette smoke in the stove rose into the air, and was blown inward by the wind. He turned, turned outward again, and suddenly blew eastward, from in front of He Yufeng to behind him, united with An Longmei, entangled Zhang Jinfeng, and repeatedly circled in front of the three of him, forming a large circle around him. , as if the three of them were surrounded by auspicious clouds and mist.At this time, Miss Yufeng was only paying attention to returning the courtesy, and never paid attention to it.Everyone looked at it, and everyone was amazed.Mr. An was twiddling a few mustaches and said with a silent smile: "'The one who is sincere and unmoving is never seen.' Zisi Ziliang is not to be deceived!"

For a while, remove the food, lay the syrup, and offer tea, and the ceremony is over.Mrs. Chu came over and whispered a few words into Miss Yufeng's ear, and the girl nodded repeatedly.I saw him walking up to Master An and Mrs. An, and said, "Uncle and Aunt, not only my parents' feelings will be endless, but I, He Yufeng, will also benefit immensely from what I have done today! I just paid back the gift for my parents. I will be worshiped by your niece again!" Master An said: "Miss, you and I can't talk about this." Mrs. An hurriedly helped the girl up.

Deng Jiugong nodded at the side and said: "Girl, you deserve to worship this time! It's just that you look at today's situation, what kind of uncle and parents do you still want to call him, and you actually call him parents!" Girl He sighed and said, "Master, don't I have such a heart? It's just that I don't repay my kindness lightly. As for the kindness of my uncle's parents, how can I repay it by calling 'parents'? I can only kowtow Wish, teach me to meet my parents early, whether in this life or in the next life, reincarnated under the knees of my uncle and aunt, and be a child, that is the day for me, He Yufeng, to repay your kindness!" Deng Jiugong laughed and said: " Girl, you 'don't knock down the clock now and wait to borrow the gong sieve', why do you say that it is getting farther and farther away, and you have gone to the next life? According to my idea, since his family has been married to you for three generations, today, while the master is here, I will come back again. Wouldn't it be a great thing for you and his family to become a pair of loving spouses, and you, like your Zhang family sister, to be his son and daughter and call him parents!"

When He Yufeng hadn't heard this sentence, he still had a smiling face, but when he heard it, he turned his face down, raised his eyebrows, looked at Deng Jiugong and said, "Master, where did you say that? You got up early this morning thinking about not being drunk, even if I have been with you for a year, you should not be so oblivious! How can you say such rash words? You should stop mentioning these words as soon as possible, so as not to disturb it Today's ashram has ruined the good intentions of his old couple, and ruined the three-year loyalty of my teachers and students!" This is exactly:

This body has passed the bodhi tree, and the ice ax has no labor to hold it.

If you want to know how Deng Jiugong ended after hearing this, I will explain it in the next book.
