Delicate Flower Chapter 253: Listen to the scriptures

Everyone looked at each other.

Why did Pei Yan call Qing Yuan so early this morning?

A Ming said: "I heard from Brother Zhen that the third master is going to Hangzhou later. He probably has something to tell my sister."

Qing Yuan did not dare to neglect and followed A Ming to see Pei Yan.

Miss Xu sighed: "I don't know when the letter will come from Huai'an."

Yu Tang comforted her: "The Qu brothers are very reliable in their work. Don't worry, they will definitely come back as soon as possible."

Miss Xu nodded helplessly and asked Yu Tang what he planned to do today.

Yu Tang smiled and said: "Mrs. Pei Er said that I would recruit Mrs. Shi to come over and give me a massage in the afternoon to see how good her skills are. If it is as good as she said, after the Zhaoming Temple thing is over, Recruit her into the house. I will copy a few pages of scriptures in the morning."

Then he invited the masters in the temple to help hold a prayer meeting for Pei Yan.

He was very kind to her, but she repeatedly misunderstood him.

From now on, she must have more confidence in him.

Miss Xu was a little surprised, thought for a while, and said: "That's fine! I'll copy a few pages of scriptures here too. In case I meet the eldest wife of the Pei family, she will drag me around to talk about this and that. I Neither does it matter if you answer it, nor does it mean if you don’t answer it."

Yu Tang was surprised.

Miss Xu told her in a low voice: "The daughter of the second uncle of the Yin family will be a hairpin girl soon. The second young master of the Pei family, Pei Fei, is fourteen years old this year."

Yu Tang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, lowered his voice and said, "This is why we want to get married!"

"Why else would Mrs. Pei visit Mrs. Yang San so early in the morning?" Miss Xu said nonchalantly, "Mrs. Pei knew Mrs. Yang San in the past in the capital, but she was doted on by her husband at that time. After giving birth to two more sons, she was very proud of herself and didn’t like Mrs. Yang San very much. How could she come to Mrs. Yang San’s house if nothing happened?”

Looking at Miss Xu’s attitude, Yu Tang said, “Are you not willing?”

Miss Xu said: "Of course I don't want to. If there is a marriage, Pei Tong can consider it. Pei Fei is not good at reading and ability, and a widowed mother has such a character, vision and knowledge. The Yin family must be interested in it. It’s not eye-catching.”

Yu Tang doesn’t know Pei Fei well, so it’s hard to comment.

She simply put the matter behind her, asked Qingping to help bring in pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and asked Miss Xu if she wanted to copy scriptures together.

Miss Xu readily agreed.

The two were polishing ink when Qing Yuan came back.

She also held a basket of big cherries in her hand and said: "The Third Master told me to accompany you to the Dharma Hall to have a look."

Yu Tang was stunned.

I asked her to stay in the wing yesterday, so why did everything change after one night?

Qingyuan explained: "The third master is afraid that you will be bored, so I remembered that there is a back hall behind the lecture platform. You can sit in the back hall and listen to the incompetent master's lectures, and you don't have to crowd with others."

If Yu Tang thought about it carefully, there really was a small back hall behind the lecture platform.

However, it is a temporary resting place for eminent monks who give lectures.

Qingyuan smiled and said: "The third master sent someone to clean up the place early in the morning. Just let me accompany you to take a look? If you don't like it or it's inconvenient, we can go back to the wing. Just rest."

She called Yu Tang "Miss", changed her last name, and "you" became "you".

Yu Tang’s heart moved.

I think this matter has a lot to do with Pei Yanli's treatment of her.

But before she had time to think about it, Miss Xu, who had had to accompany Yu Tang to copy scriptures in order to avoid Mrs. Pei, excitedly encouraged her: "Your body is really not suitable for being crowded with those people. However, the back hall behind the lectern must be very quiet. Pei Xiaguang also has good intentions, so let’s not let him down. Let’s go over this morning and have a look. If you feel bad, just come back.”

Yu Tang was a man in two lifetimes, and he participated in a large-scale sermon in his previous life. That was when Li Duan won the Jinshi. Mrs. Lin was very happy. During the Dragon Boat Festival, she invited a master from Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou to come and give lectures. She followed the Li family to join in the fun. At that time, everyone congratulated Ms. Lin, but who still remembered who she was?

She was thirsty and hot, so she finally squeezed out of the crowd and enjoyed the coolness under the camphor tree. She didn't know when Lin and Gu Xi left the Dharma hall. After she looked around in a panic, she finally found Lin and Gu Xi near Wudaosong who were chatting with the master. However, Lin scolded her and accused her of not seeing the world. When she sees the excitement, she runs away... which makes her lose face.

Since then I have never attended any incense gatherings or lectures.

Thinking about her current treatment, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart for a long time, and I was also a little curious about what it would be like for an incompetent master from Fujian to give lectures.

Yu Tang hesitated for a moment before making up his mind and said to Qingyuan: "Then let's go and have a look."

Qingyuan laughed after hearing this and said: "I'm going to get curtains and hats for the two young ladies - the third master said that there are many people in the Dharma hall and you are of a lower generation. When you go there, you will inevitably have to say hello to this and that. It’s very tiring, so we might as well rest in the wing! Let’s not show up, go quietly, and return quietly, so as not to disturb the elders in the Dharma hall.”

This is really the truth!

Miss Xu was very happy after hearing this. She felt that Pei Yan was really considerate and considerate in his work. She couldn't help but praise: "Pei Yanguang is really annoying when he is annoying, but he is really likeable when he is attentive. No wonder Mr. Zhang alone I only like him as a close disciple, which shows that nothing happens for no reason."

Really?

Yu Tang blushed inexplicably, feeling a vague joy that could not be expressed in his heart, and his ears were also red.

Miss Xu, however, only cared about whether her curtains looked good or not, and did not pay much attention to Yu Tang. She still said: "I think we should come back early to avoid running into them when we leave. Then you can do it this afternoon. Have you called Mrs. Shi over to give you moxibustion and massage? I think Mrs. Shi should have been called over, otherwise it will be difficult for you to explain when Mrs. Pei Er asks. As for copying the scriptures, we can take the time to copy a few pages in the evening. Bodhisattvas don’t care whether we copy more or less. The main thing is whether we are sincere or not.”

After all, I just don’t want to copy scriptures.

Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled, feeling as if there was a little bird in his heart. He was also very happy, and his voice became cheerful: "Okay! Let's do moxibustion or massage in the afternoon, and copy scriptures in the evening. As for you, if you think it is necessary, just copy it. If you think it is not necessary, you don’t have to copy it! I heard from my mother-in-law that every Bodhisattva has his own dojo, and Zhaoming Temple belongs to Sakyamuni. Putuo Mountain is the dojo of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. This ritual cannot be done casually."

Miss Xu rolled her eyes and said, "Then I will copy a few pages of scriptures for Yin Mingyuan. He is not in good health and we are going to get married soon. At least he can live a few more years."

Even so, Yin Mingyuan's thin and pale face appeared in her mind, still looking gloomy and in a bad mood.

Yu Tang hurriedly comforted her: "Wan Wan is holding a pole. Mr. Yin is fine after being ill for so many years and is getting better. He must have received the protection of Bodhisattva. Don't worry."

Miss Xu suddenly felt that going to the Dharma Hall was not so attractive to her.

She decided to take some time at night to copy a few pages of scriptures for Yin Mingyuan, and then she and Yu Tang would take them to the masters of Zhaoming Temple and present them to the Bodhisattva.

Miss Xu and Yu Tang, one wearing a lake green curtain hat and the other wearing a lake blue curtain hat, were accompanied by Qing Yuan and went out.

Only then did they realize that besides A Ming, there were five or six strange boys standing outside the door.

Qingyuan said: "It's from the third master's side. The third master said, I'm afraid you will be hit by someone. The young man is stronger than the mother-in-law."

This is what it means to protect her.

Yu Tang blushed and whispered: "Thank you so much, Mr. Third. When you see Mr. Third, please help me say thank you."

Qing Yuan answered "yes" with a smile, but she was thinking about the scene when Pei Yan called her there.

The room is full of busy people. The boys were busy packing their luggage, the guards were carrying boxes and cages, Mr. Shu was talking to Zhao Zhen in a low voice, and Pei Qi was helping Pei Yan organize the books. Pei Yan stood in the golden morning light and said to her in a deep voice: "In the past few days while I'm gone, you should stay with Miss Yu and don't let her think too much. I have already told Aman and asked him to take Mrs. Wu away." Call over. When the time comes, Mrs. Wu will be responsible for accompanying Miss Yu, and you will be responsible for taking care of her daily affairs. Don't let people from the Peng family get close to Miss Yu. If people from the Peng family dare to mess around, just come forward and nothing will happen. Don’t be afraid, we’ll wait until I come back to talk about everything.”

Qingyuan still remembers his eyelids twitching when he heard this.

The third master is going to protect Miss Yu.

She looked towards Yu Tang.

Only Yu Tang's slim figure was seen.

If Miss Yu enters the house... I am afraid she will be someone who can challenge the third master's wife.

Whose side will she be on then?

Qingyuan felt a little headache.

She could only comfort herself that this was something she could not control, and she could only make plans after arriving at the bridge. The top priority is to do what the third master ordered and ensure that nothing happens during the few days when the third master is away. ~IndoMTL.com~ Yu Tang and Miss Xu quietly entered the back hall behind the lecture platform.

The back hall is only one and a half feet long and one foot wide. There was an Arhat bed and two chairs. Perhaps because of Pei Yan's instructions, melons, fruit pastries, flowers, and brand new cushions were placed on the Arhat's bed.

Miss Xu was even more satisfied.

She whispered to Yu Tang: "Let's just sit on the Arhat bed and listen to the sutra lecture."

The lecture platform and the back hall are separated by a carved wooden board, and the voice of the incompetent master can be heard very clearly.

Yu Tang nodded and saw small fans on the left and right sides of the Luohan bed. Knowing that it was where the lecture platform entered and exited the back hall, he went to the slit of the fan and looked outside. At a glance, he saw someone sitting in the Dharma hall. Pei Yan in the middle.

She felt her face was burning, and she stood up straight, wondering when he would leave for Hangzhou? Do you have a chance to see him off?

Miss Xu didn't know what Yu Tang was thinking. When she saw Yu Tang peeking over there, she followed him and whispered: "Let me have a look too."

Yu Tang jumped aside as if to avoid suspicion.

Miss Xu spoke softly and leaned towards the slit of the fan: "What did you see? Not to mention, Pei Xiaguang is really worthy of his reputation. He is as handsome as a carved man. He is also well-dressed. , moon-white plain Songjiang muslin, wearing a green bamboo hairpin, looks clean and refreshing, just right for such an occasion..."

Yu Tang only felt her face getting hotter.
