The sun sets in the west, the sky is filled with red clouds, and the floating mist fills the world. The Linhuai Marquis Mansion is also misty in this sunset mist.
In the backyard of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion, the little maid Baozi held her face and dozed off little by little. After three or five times, she woke up by herself. When she saw the young lady sitting at the table by the window,
I was still copying Buddhist scriptures seriously and devoutly, but I felt relieved and fell asleep and woke up again with fear.
The little maid Baozi is really sleepy.
Last night, the annoying Wei Guogong's Mansion next door set off firecrackers all night long, which scared everyone's little hearts to the point of beating out of their chests. It was so noisy that few people in the Linhuai Marquis Mansion could fall asleep, and the young lady also didn't sleep all night.
The sound of firecrackers finally stopped in the morning, and the master, lady, and servants in the mansion also took time to catch up on the sleep they got last night.
However, the young lady did not catch up on her sleep after getting up in the morning. Apart from sending a hundred-year-old Changbai Mountain ginseng to her uncle, the young lady has been sitting on the table piously and copying Buddhist scriptures, saying that she would give them to the uncle and his wife who were away.
The elder brother copied scriptures and prayed for blessings. The young lady didn’t even sleep, so the little maid Baozi couldn’t sleep either, and she had to wait on her, so this made the little maid Baozi feel sleepy little by little.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines in front of the window. The mist outside the window and the burning incense inside the window add a hazy beauty to the beauty in front of the window. She is wearing a slim-fitting floor-length skirt with plum blossoms embroidered with red silk thread on her waist.
There is a cyan ribbon tied in the middle, and the black hair is styled in a pony bun. The bun is decorated with exquisite lily pendants. It is elegant and enchanting, and enchanting is elegant.
The beautiful lady held a hairpin brush in her slender hand, her big watery eyes focused on the pen, and she meticulously copied Buddhist scriptures on the snow-white rice paper, very piously and seriously.
"The Sutra of Avalokitesvara of the Great Compassion and Compassion": Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, the Prajna Paramita, the mind is at ease, the relics and all Dharmas have no form. The heart has desires...
The Buddhist scriptures flow out from Li Shu's pen, and the rows of hairpin flowers are like a refreshing spring in the mountains slowly flowing down from the foothills full of snow lotus flowers. It makes people read twice.
Feel comfortable.
In addition to the Buddhist scripture in my hand, there is also a thick pile of rice paper full of Buddhist scriptures on the desk. The words on it are also "The Great Compassion and Great Compassion Awakening to the Self, Thoughts and Things Come True", and each word is a stroke.
It is neat and tidy, every sentence is neatly arranged, and every page is comfortable to look at.
It can be seen how serious and pious Yu Rener was in copying Buddhist scriptures on this day.
While Jade Man'er was copying the Buddhist scriptures piously and conscientiously, her tender red lips were slightly opened, and she seemed to be saying something silently. Judging from the girl's mouth shape, she seemed to be silently reciting the scriptures, praying and making wishes, but after finishing the last three words of each wish, it seemed that
They are all "stinky toads"...
This is the habit of the ancients. In ancient times, people often copied Buddhist scriptures to pray for blessings, especially girls. They prayed for their parents, prayed for their husbands, and prayed for... This is also influenced by Buddhism. There is such a passage in the Diamond Sutra.
: "If there is another person who hears this sutra and has unwavering faith, his blessings will be greater than that of others. How much more will it be written, accepted, upheld, read, recited, and explained to others!" In their view, copying and reciting Buddhist sutras are all blessings. They can accumulate blessings and pray for them.
, the more pious you are, the more effective it will be.
The girl is pious and takes every word into her heart.
"Miss, miss."
While the girl was copying carefully, there was suddenly a rush of footsteps in the yard, accompanied by a little girl's drawn-out voice and the sudden sound of the door opening.
The sudden sound caused the girl who was writing devoutly to slur a word. Looking at the smeared word, the girl couldn't help but frown, and her watery eyes looked coldly at the person coming from the door.
The little maid Baozi, who was nodding and dozing off, was also awakened by the sudden sound. Her bun face looked like she had been frightened, and she looked towards the door with her hand covering her rapid heartbeat.
"Miss. Miss, my uncle is back from the exam..."
The little maid who came in saw her young lady's cold eyes and was so frightened that she trembled all over. What she said next was so frightened that she almost swallowed it back in her stomach.
However, it seemed that it was an illusion. After the little girl trembled and said it, she felt that her lady's cold eyes seemed to melt all of a sudden. It seemed that the coldness just now was just an illusion caused by her running too fast and being out of breath.
of.
"What, my uncle is back?" Baozi's little maid was so excited when she heard this that her sleepiness disappeared.
"Forget it this time. If you are so reckless next time, be careful with your skin." Li Shu put down the brush in her hand, glanced at the girl who came in, and said calmly.
"Thank you, miss. I don't dare to do that anymore." The little girl at the door wiped the cold sweat on her head and nodded repeatedly.
"Miss, let's go see my uncle. I wonder how my uncle did in the exam." The little maid Baozi couldn't sit still after hearing the news that Zhu Ping'an had returned from the exam.
"Why are you so anxious? He can't run away..." Li Shu's beautiful eyes turned and she pouted her little mouth. She stood up unhurriedly, straightened her slender hands, moved her lotus steps lightly, and carefully placed the copied Buddhist scriptures on the bookshelf.
She was as elegant as a fairy who could not eat the fireworks of the world, but the corner of her mouth could not help but evoke a sweet smile.
The little maid Baozi stuck out her tongue and blushed with embarrassment.
Li Shu put down the Buddhist scriptures, washed and changed into a set of clothes, then led the little maid Baozi, two other girls and two old ladies out of the courtyard and walked towards the front yard.
The Marquis of Linhuai's Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. The Marquis of Linhuai also rushed back to the mansion in the afternoon and arranged for a banquet to be prepared in the mansion to welcome Zhu Ping'an who had returned from the imperial examination. When he returned to the mansion, the Marquis of Linhuai happened to see the young man following him.
Loli stuck out her butt and played with the naughty child in the dirt. When the naughty child turned around and saw his sullen father, he almost peed his pants on the spot without being frightened. Fortunately, the Marquis of Linhuai had to arrange a banquet, so the naughty child was just
He roared, and even then, the naughty child was frightened.
Zhu Ping'an returned to Linhuai Marquis Mansion in the evening. He chatted with Wang Shizhen and Zhang Siwei for a long time on the way. Zhang Siwei was relatively calm, but Wang Shizhen was extremely excited. He kept talking about Emperor Jiajing all the way.
Xiongfeng regained his reputation as a wise master, saying that he couldn't bear to put forward ten suggestions for governing the country in one breath on the test paper. Perhaps Wang Shizhen still has a strong scholarly spirit in his bones. The families of Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen are still in the capital. If
It's not that their family will be impatient because they can hold Zhu Ping'an and chat all night long.
The Linhuai Marquis Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and a sumptuous dinner was specially prepared to welcome him. Zhu Ping'an was a little uncomfortable with the warm reception after entering the mansion.
After ten years of hard work and no one asking, he became famous all over the world in one fell swoop. The ancients were sincere and I couldn’t deceive them. (To be continued.)
