Chapter 775 The Qiao Family
Xie Zhiwei is not the little girl who has lived in the boudoir for a long time and is ignorant of worldly affairs. He is accurate in seeing people. He smiled, "Female benefactor, please be frank, as long as there is an old monk who can do it, this old monk will definitely spare no effort."
"I heard that you are good at painting Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, especially Avalokitesvara with thousands of hands. The painting is unique, and the Buddha Dharma is boundless. If you send me a painting right now, you can bring me here, and I will see it!"
This is not an ordinary favor. Monk Liaozheng did not expect that Xie Zhiwei made this request. Although he was surprised, he still smiled and said the Buddha's name, "The request of the female benefactor is indeed not high, and the old monk will obey it." Yes!"
He said, beckoning to the little novice outside the door, and asked him to go to the abbot's room to bring a portrait of Avalokitesvara on the wall, the little novice hesitated for a while, waved his hand to the monk and said, "Go, go !"
Xie Zhiwei couldn't help being amused, painting a thousand-handed Avalokitesvara was not a one-time job, and her request was also very straightforward, when to make a portrait, when to meet Qiao's family, she doesn't have to eat the vegetables in the winter .
Unexpectedly, this monk was very willing. She had also heard that the statue of Avalokitesvara with Thousand Hands had been hung in the main abbot's room for more than three or five years.
Xie Zhiwei wanted to give this Buddha statue to her mother-in-law. After she got the Buddha statue, she looked at it carefully. Although Lulenga's painting of Buddha statues was very good, it was still a little worse than Zhenglai. She handed the portrait to Bai Ling put it away, and said on the right way, "Old monk, you can also do business with you, you can invite people here."
It's true that it hurts, but in the past, I received a lot of benefits from others. Today, I was mistaken, thinking that Xie Zhiwei is a little girl so I can fool him. Unexpectedly, I cut off a large piece of meat. He couldn't help laughing, "Old man Thank you, princess!"
"Don't thank me, you may scold me secretly, I don't care about you anymore, old monk, I eat everything, but I never suffer, from now on, don't use this trick to fool me me."
Liu was going out with a smile, Linghua watched his back disappear in the courtyard, and couldn't help saying angrily, "This old bald donkey has got into the eyes of money, is he asking for money or not?"
Xie Zhi took a sip of tea with a smile, and said to Ling Hua, "He is an eminent monk who has attained the Tao and his reputation spread far and wide. I heard his name when I was in Xie's house. , unless he commits a heinous crime in front of everyone, no one can do anything to him."
Ling Hua was stunned, and Xie Zhi sneered slightly, "What kind of person was Wan Yanliang, the North Qi Jin Hailing King who guarded Youzhou back then? He was cruel and arrogant, utterly obscene, and killed countless people. Such a person, I fell in love with A girl, that girl is said to be from the same village as Li Zhengnai, and she asked for her protection, Wan Yanliang also took Zheng, but there was nothing she could do."
Zheng Jingshuang thought for a moment, while Linghua bowed her head in silence.
Xie Zhiwei said, "It's better to make him feel uncomfortable than to have nothing to do with him, to be manipulated by him, and to be angry. Presumably, at this time, he is more uncomfortable than me!"
Linghua couldn't help turning her anger into a smile, but she was still dissatisfied and said, "If these people from outside the country can truly devote themselves to the Buddha, delve into the Dharma, and stop doing these worldly things, that's fine."
Xie Zhi smiled and didn't say anything. Seeing the people from Qiao's family coming, she hurriedly looked over and saw the old lady from Qiao's family. There was a girl next to her, about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was charming and lovely, with clear eyes. Then he greeted him with a smile.
"I have seen Princess Chen!" The old lady saluted Xie Zhiwei. The old lady was also in her 60s and 70s. Xie Zhiwei hurriedly asked someone to help her up, "Please sit down!"
The girl kowtowed respectfully to Xie Zhiwei, "The folk girl Qiao Tongxiao has met Princess Chen!"
Xie Zhiwei hurriedly said, "Get up!"
With that said, Xie Zhiwei introduced Linghua and Zheng Jingshuang to the grandparents of the Qiao family, and the two stood up again to salute. After some introductions, Xie Zhi smiled and said, "I ate a plate of green vegetables in the temple today. Your family, I said, this is really rare. If there is a chance, we must know each other. I want to eat it in the future, so I can buy it from you. Who knew it was such a coincidence that I really met today. It can be seen that the Buddha is always willing. Make every wish of us come true."
Old lady Qiao said, "It is the concubine Chen who does good deeds and accumulates virtues on a daily basis, so the Buddha is willing to fulfill her wish. If those who are vicious and vicious, even if they kneel in front of the Buddha and beg, they will not be able to obtain it, Amitabha!"
Xie Zhi smiled and said, "I heard that you are getting old and still eating fast. I see that you are still in good spirits. Do you eat long fast or fast?"
Changzhai means eating vegetarian food all year round, and Huazhai means vegetarian eating on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
"I eat Huazhai. I used to eat Changzhai. In the old year, I was ill. I had to feed myself with mutton and **** soup for a winter. I said I was old, so I went there so that I could serve the Buddha. That's right. The abbot said that it is not necessary to be a vegetarian to the Buddha, and the Buddha did not kill, so I said, since the Buddha wants me to keep it, I will keep it, and now I will eat vegetarian food on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, we got to know each other, and the old lady said, "I heard that Princess Chen's birthday is on the 16th, and this year there will be a Jiji ceremony, which follows the ancient etiquette. People like us have never seen such a world. My grandson My daughter passed away last year, so she hastily organized a ceremony, and if she is lucky enough to be able to attend Princess Chen's ceremony, it will be her blessing."
Xie Zhiwei knew that since she and Xiao Xun came to the Northland, they would have to deal with these people in the future, and the Qiao family was the first to surrender in the Northland. He smiled and said, "I originally said that I would post a post for you, but I just came here, and I don't know who to post to or not to. Since we met today, it means that we are destined, so naturally I want to invite you."
The old lady Qiao told Xie Zhiwei about the big families here, "In the entire Sixteen Youyun Prefecture, when it comes to big families, there used to be quite a few. Later, when the prince called, the Beiqi people said, we Everyone will be arrested by the prince, because we have all served Beiqi before. At that time, the sons of the old man were also hesitant, and the old man said that we were born and raised here. Back then, we lost Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, We didn't leave, it's not that we didn't want to leave, it's that we couldn't leave at all, the prince came to drive away the Beiqi people, we ordinary people, we just pay rations to whoever has the sky on our heads."
Xie Zhi smiled and said, "The old lady has seen a lot of worlds and understands a lot of truths, isn't that the reason! Now? Who are still left?"
"Qiao's family, Zhu's family, Wang's family and Qu's family, that's all four families." The old lady said, "To tell the truth from Princess Chen, I am sitting here at the moment, and the other three families are not sure. Still sitting in the old son's study!"
