"The donor came to pray again today?" the little novice monk walked to the woman and said softly.
The woman slowly opened her eyes and looked back at the young novice standing next to her: "Are you cleaning the temple again today?"
"Master Tong talked back and was punished!" The little novice nodded, and it was obvious that he was still a little unconvinced.
The woman wanted to get up, but it was difficult because of her protruding abdomen. The young novice monk hurriedly stepped forward to help her. The woman thanked her and stood up: "You are young and always talk back to your master. You should be more obedient!"
The young novice helped the woman sit aside and said, "I think what the master taught is wrong. The master thinks that I don't understand. It's inevitable to argue!"
The woman sat down slowly and touched her belly with soft eyes: "Young monk, you are just not tactful enough. You know you will be punished if you argue with your master, but you still have to do this!"
The little novice monk glanced at the woman's belly and said, "The donor is pregnant. What do you want to ask for when you come here?"
The woman smiled: "I don't want anything, I just want peace of mind!"
The young novice did not speak.
It was raining outside, and the woman sat there and murmured: "I am not in good health. Giving birth consumes my own essence and blood. I know that I will not have a long life, and maybe I will not be able to grow up with my child." , I always owe them, and now, if I ask for more, it will be a blessing, and it will be considered a part of my heart!"
"The donor is also thoughtful!" the little novice monk said, and suddenly saw Ning Yuanhou coming in a hurry in the rain, followed by a little boy.
The young novice saluted Marquis Ningyuan: "Donor!"
Marquis Ningyuan paused, then responded.
Marquis Ningyuan was filled with murderous aura, and even the Zen sounds from the temple could not weaken his murderous aura one bit. But when he walked in front of this little woman, the murderous aura in his body disappeared in an instant.
"Feng Yin, let's go!" Ning Yuanhou walked to the woman's side, held her hand and said softly.
The woman smiled, then took Ning Yuanhou's hand and smiled at the little novice monk: "Little master, let's go first!"
The little novice also knew from that day that her name was He Fengyin and she was the wife of Marquis Ningyuan.
Later, when the woman came, she had already given birth. It is said that she gave birth to a daughter. The presiding officer gave the child a fate. It was an ill-fated child. Although he was born into wealth, he had to bear the responsibility of the world. If he was a boy, it would be easy to say. , but it just so happens that it’s a daughter’s house.
After the host finished approving the orders, his eyes were quite distressed.
The little novice monk was a little puzzled: "Marquis Ningyuan enjoys the world's worship and bears the world's responsibilities. This is his destiny. Why does the host feel distressed?"
"If it's a man, it's true, but this child is just a girl. If the world needs a woman to shoulder the responsibilities of the world, then she must have experienced more than men!" The host sighed, "Female Life is a heavy life, no one can bear it!"
The young novice was silent for a long time, and finally did not say anything.
He Fengyin was still kneeling in front of the Buddha. Her body had lost a lot of weight and she looked much weaker than before. Even just looking at her back, the little novice monk could feel her sadness and worry.
She prayed devoutly for a long time, then knelt in front of the Buddha and prayed with all her heart. The little novice monk just stood in the distance.
He Fengyin knelt down and begged for a long time. When she stood up, she almost fell down. Fortunately, the little novice monk had quick eyesight and quick hands, so he supported her. But just by holding her, the little novice monk discovered that He Fengyin's body temperature was passing away bit by bit. , which is also a manifestation of the passage of life.
"Thank you, little master!" He Fengyin smiled and retracted his hand, "Little master, how come you were not punished today? But you figured it out and didn't talk back to the master?"
"I'm not stupid. I know he will punish me. If I disobey once, I can't talk back every time!" The little novice monk said helplessly, "The old man is pedantic. I won't argue with him too much!"
He Fengyin smiled: "The young master is quite clever!"
The young novice monk didn't say a word, but just helped He Fengyin to sit on the stone stool aside.
He Fengyin was slightly out of breath after walking a few steps. In this temple, they often saw some people who had run out of oil and lamps and came here to pray to God and worship Buddha. So when he saw He Fengyin, he knew that she had lost money. If you lose your energy and blood, you will die soon: "If you are not in good health, you should take good care of yourself at home. There is no need to come here to worship!"
"It's very boring to stay at home every day. It's better to go out for a walk and listen to the Zen music. It will make me feel better." He Fengyin raised his head and looked at the little novice monk, "The little master was looking at me here just now. Yes, but you think I'm pitiful?"
The little novice monk shook his head: "Everyone has his destiny, and there is nothing to be pitiful about. The consequences of the past life are the consequences of this life! Although she was a female doll, she also enjoyed the worship of the people in the world, took it from the people, used it for the people, and carried the world. The woman who takes responsibility will be a very good person!"
He Fengyin took a deep look at the little novice monk, and then laughed: "You are different from the host!"
The little novice monk was stunned: "Huh?"
"The host is more compassionate, but you see more clearly!" He Fengyin looked at the little novice monk and said with a smile, "Fate is innate and there is no way to change it. The host sees only Mo Mo, but you see Yes, it’s the people of the world!”
The little novice monk was stunned. He looked at He Fengyin for a long time, and then said, "Don't you think I'm cold?"
He Fengyin shook his head: "No, everything has two sides, but the perspective is different. You are looking at all living beings, so you don't care so much about one person's suffering, but you are not wrong. Everyone If you look at it from a different angle, you will see something different.”
The little novice monk was silent.
He would always have disputes with his master. In fact, it was because he always felt that his master was too compassionate and sympathized with everyone in the world, but he cared more about cause and effect.
His master once said that if he cannot understand the seven emotions and six desires of ordinary people, then you, a believer, will not feel the Buddha's great kindness and compassion, and you will lose your own merit.
So when he said those words to He Fengyin, he originally thought she would blame him, but he didn't expect that she actually understood his thoughts.
"Her life will be very bumpy, you know?" The little novice monk couldn't help but said after all.
"The host told me!" He Fengyin lowered his head, "I can't accompany her through these ups and downs!"
"Don't you ask the Buddha to make her life smoother?"
"People can't be too greedy!" He Fengyin raised his head and looked at the little novice monk, "When I was pregnant, I begged the Buddha to let me have a daughter. I gave birth to a daughter, but I couldn't give her the delicate life of a daughter. This is probably about giving up. When I got my daughter, I had to give up something. People can never be too greedy!"
The little novice monk was silent. In his eyes, the world was greedy and selfish, but this woman was different. This made him confused as to why there would be people who were not so greedy and selfish.
"My body, I don't need to tell you, the little master should also understand. I probably won't be able to come here in the future!" He Fengyin looked at the little novice monk, took off the beads from his hand, and handed it to the little novice monk, " The Buddha was merciful and granted my wish for a daughter. I want to be greedy and ask him to give my daughter a chance when she is in trouble!"
The little novice monk looked at the Buddhist beads in front of him and subconsciously took them.
"Feng Yin, it's time for us to go back!" Marquis Ning Yuan still looked like that, with eyes full of tenderness!
"I don't know my little master's name!"
"Huide!"
"Little Master Huide, I'm leaving now. See you again when we have a chance!"
The little novice monk looked at the Buddhist beads in his hand for a long time, then suddenly came back to his senses and chased after her: "Donor, what is your daughter's name?"
"Xu Qingmo!"
