Chapter 163 The White Clothes Sutra

The next day, Fang woke up early in the morning. After washing and washing, a nun led them to the main hall to pay homage to Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva in white.

The nunnery master had already stood in the main hall and waited. After Fang's visit, he knelt down on the futon, prayed silently, and then knocked on the wooden fish to recite scriptures.

Luo Tiandu was drenched in the rain last night, and he had something else on his mind. He didn't know what was going on with Cheng Qing, and he didn't sleep much all night. With the monotonous sound of wooden fish and chanting scriptures, Luo Tian could still manage to stay awake at first, but then his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he couldn't help dozing off.

Fang looked at her small head like a kitten fishing, little by little, couldn't help but also laughed, and lowered his voice: "There is nothing for you here, you go to sleep for a while, and wait for the nunnery master to finish the invitation." Jing, call you to get up again, and go back together."

Luo Tian was really sleepy, so he nodded, yawned and went to sleep in the wing again.This sleep was a deep one, and she didn't wake up until noon, when Fang finished her scriptures and came to wake her up.

With a happy face, Fang woke her up and said, "The masters have already prepared lunch, let's eat something and go back."

Hearing that he could go back, Luo Tian got up as soon as he got up, and asked while getting dressed, "Have you finished reading the scriptures?"

Fang nodded and said, "Well, the nunnery master has invited the main ones, and I will read the rest at home by myself."

Luo Tiandu saw that Fang was indeed holding a few scriptures in his hands, and took a look at them. The scriptures read "White Clothes Great Compassion Five Seals of Heart Dharani Sutra", and immediately raised his eyebrows.This "White Clothes Great Compassion Five Seals Dharani Sutra", also known as "White Clothes Sutra", is a mantra of the Avalokitesvara Sutra for Seeking Children.Fang's family came to Fahua nunnery to offer incense, and the nunnery master invited this scripture for her. Even a fool should understand what the intention is.

Luo Tiandu was speechless for a moment, and felt sour in his heart.

Fang is hardworking, strong, honest, not greedy, patient and gentle with her family. For more than ten years, this person has given her meticulous care. Although she has various shortcomings, she is still a model of a good mother in her mind.

However, it is such a person, because he has not given birth to a son, he feels that he is inferior to others in his bones, and he desires to have a son in a sad and humble way.

If possible, she would like to speak loudly to Fang, that it is not a woman's fault that she can't have a son, it's just a problem with the combination and matching of one chromosome called X and one called Y. If Luo Baisu's chromosome Y doesn't match, she herself I will never be able to give birth to a son.

But she couldn't, so she could only watch Fang holding the volume of "White Clothes Classic", touching and touching, reading and reading, looking extremely precious.

After lunch, Mrs. Fang went to donate another ten slings of money, which was used to thank the nunnery master for helping to ask for sutras.Luo Tiandu looked at the many long-burning lamps burning in the main hall, and asked the nunnery master to help light five lamps, and added another thirty slings of sesame oil money.

Fang counted, there were five lamps, his family of four plus old man Luo did not happen to be five people, his heart was moved, he didn't feel sorry for money anymore, and looked at Luo Tiandu with extra loving eyes.How did she know that Luo Tiandu ordered five lamps, but they were ordered for Fang's Luo Baisu Luo Mingdu Luo old man and Gu Bo, and she didn't count herself at all.She was a lonely ghost, even if the ever-burning lamp was lit, the Bodhisattva would not be able to protect her, so she still hoped that she would be more real.

After the sutras were invited, the ever-burning lamps were lit, and the money was spent, Mrs. Fang packed up her things and prepared to go back.

Luo Tian didn't know whether Cheng Qing had found a doctor for Wei Que last night, and he was quite anxious. He ran outside the Fahua Nunnery and saw that Cheng Qing had arrived, and was taking a nap in the carriage.

Seeing her coming out, Cheng Qing nodded to her, and she was relieved.Cheng Qing has always been reliable in his work, since he said that there is nothing to do, Wei Que must have settled down.

If so, halfway through, Luo Tian took advantage of Fang's mind still on the volume of scriptures, found an excuse, got out of the carriage, and asked Cheng Qing in a low voice: "What happened to you yesterday?"

Cheng Qing looked at the carriage, and saw that the Fang family and the others were talking lively inside. They didn't pay attention to the outside, so they lowered their voice and said, "I didn't go to the city, but I found a doctor in the county, prescribed medicine, and then found a room After the inn settled down, when I got up early in the morning, Lord Wei was not there, I asked the waiter in the inn, and the waiter said that Master Wei walked out of the inn by himself, and I saw that nothing happened, so I went back to Fahua Temple to pick you up."

Luo Tiandu nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Cheng Qing."

Cheng Qing pursed his lips and said after a while: "Master Wei also saved my life, even if the little lady didn't tell me yesterday, I would help."

"Exactly." Luo Tian thought in his heart, outsiders had rumored that Wei Que was arrogant and domineering, but to the Luo family, Wei Que was a benefactor.

"Little lady, let's go back to the carriage. It's windy outside and you'll catch cold easily. My hostess will be worried." When he was in Luojia Village, Cheng Qing kept calling Fang as his hostess. When he arrived in Shangjing, Cheng Qing didn't change it. The Luo family didn't mention it, so Cheng Qing kept calling it that way.

Luo Tian also felt a little cold, so he climbed back into the carriage.

When returning to the city, the checks for entering and leaving the city gate became more stringent, and there were many more officials. This time, it was the men who were checked, and the female family members were just let go.

When will you be able to calm down in Beijing?Luo Tiandu secretly rolled his eyes while sitting in the mule cart.

After entering the city gate, there were fewer pedestrians on the street. From time to time, I saw Imperial Guards walking around on the street. Looking closely at the military uniforms, none of the sixteen guards were dispatched.Luo Tian didn't even bother to think about the entanglements involved, he just wanted to get home quickly, then have a good sleep, wake up, it's another new day.

When the mule cart entered the entrance of Bauhinia Alley, Luo Baisu was like an old donkey pulling a mill, turning around and looking at the street frequently.

Luo Tian saw him and was very surprised: "Father, where are you picking up gold? Round and round, don't you feel dizzy?"

Luo Baisu had a worried look on his face, seeing them returning safely, he smiled and said, "I'll pick you up here."

"Are you all right in the yamen today?" Luo Tian was even more surprised.

Although the Book Bureau is free, Luo Baisu is very dedicated to his work and refuses to be careless. He usually clocks in on time and rarely leaves early. At this hour today, he should be editing books in the yamen, why did he escape?

Luo Baisu smiled wryly.In the past two days, Fang's family has been absent, but something serious has happened in Shangjing.

The Liu family, the servant of the Ministry of officials, was robbed, and the daughter of the Liu family was frightened and fell ill.This is at the feet of the Son of Heaven. Someone dared to steal into the house of an important official of the imperial court. The court was furious for a while and ordered the patrolling censor and the Yin of the Xiling Mansion to investigate this matter thoroughly. The second son of Liu Shilang's family blocked the city gate yesterday. Investigate one by one, afraid that the villain will take the opportunity to escape, and today the whole city is under martial law, allowing people to enter and not leaving.Someone saw Shenwuwei on the outskirts of Shangjing, and guessed that the villain must have escaped from the city.When Luo Baisu heard that the place was not far from the Fahua nunnery where Fang's family worshiped Bodhisattva, he couldn't sit still. He found an opportunity, ran out, and looked at the entrance of the alley. Now that he saw someone, he finally felt relieved. Take a breath.

"Hey, don't ask too many questions, something happened in Beijing these two days, you go home quickly, don't go out if you have nothing to do."

Luo Tian thought to himself, there is no way the Liu family was infiltrated by thieves, it was clearly a random excuse to cover up the truth of Liu Jinxiu and Lu Boxi's elopement.It's just that the Liu family was still investigating in the city, but they didn't know that the little girl had fled the city with her lover a long time ago. Coincidentally, she was caught by Wei Que. human life.When Wei Que recovers, he still doesn't know how to take revenge on the Liu family and the Lu family.

Mrs. Fang invited the "White Clothes Classic" to her home, and read one volume every morning when Luo Baisu went out, and another volume in the evening before Luo Baisu came back.Originally, Fang's plan was to show his sincerity and start to read when he got up early in the morning, but Luo Tian stopped him on the grounds that his family members had to sleep.

Just kidding!Luo Baisu got up earlier than the rooster every day, and Fang followed him, instead of taking care of him to eat and dress, and sent him out. Instead, he read the "White Clothes Classic". Besides, most of the family members were still asleep at that time, and Fang chanted scriptures so as not to wake up the whole family.

Since then, Luo's house has been filled with the scent of compassion and incense that can only be found in Buddhist halls every day, and the food at home has also been light. Every day, Fang's family knocked on the wooden fish and recited the scriptures that could not understand the words.Luo Tiandu endured it for the first few days, but then he couldn't take it anymore. As soon as Fang hit the wooden fish, her head began to throb.And although she is not picky eaters, she is also a vegetarian, but she is still growing up, she needs a balanced nutrition, and she can't bear to eat those oily meals like this every day.She has also eaten bitter porridge, which is so rare that people can see her shadow, and wild vegetables that are bitter and unpalatable, but at that time, she was poor and had no choice?Now that the family has money, it's not that they can't afford it. Why would she have to suffer this?

She didn't stop Fang's expression of sincerity, she just made Fang's diet separately, and their own food was still the same as before, with a combination of meat and vegetables, that's all.

Uncle Gu and the others also discovered that Luo Tiandu, who likes to stay in the house counting money for nothing, especially likes to run out these days, and doesn't come back until it's time to eat, and she doesn't run far, just in the tea shop at the entrance of the alley, It costs more than a dozen pennies to order a pot of tea, and you can sit on that vent for most of the day.

Although it was already spring at this time, the weather in early spring was still very cold. Xiang Lan was worried that she would get cold, so she sent her clothes a few times, and advised her to drink tea and make it for her when she went home. It was cold outside.

Luo Tiandu originally came to this teahouse to pass the time in order to avoid the sound of wooden fish at home.Since it is a teahouse, there is nothing else but the most people, including traffickers, celebrities and gentry, when there are more people, there will naturally be more gossips, from government affairs to local customs, and even wives and concubines of any family are not on good terms. Some speak and some listen.

Luo Tian sat for a few days, but he didn't feel bored and listened with gusto.

Not to mention, she really heard a lot of secrets.

For example, Zuo Junyu Xu’s family is a Tongfeng doctor, a loose official from the third rank, and has no authority. , Most of those who marry are loose officials, just like Zuo Qingzhi's generation, there is Zuo Qingzhi who is a minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the other children and grandchildren seek casual jobs.

Luo Tian felt that the Zuo family was a family that really knew how to keep a low profile and bide their time. It was enough for the family to have someone to support their appearance, and the others could do whatever they liked. The Zuo family firmly followed the line of pure ministers. It's no wonder that for so many years, the aristocratic family has had its ups and downs, but the Zuo family is still standing there majestically.
