When Shu Shu and his entourage went to the main hall to burn incense, they returned under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, holding new belts in their hands.
It's red, fine silk, about two inches wide and two and a half feet long.
One end is tied with a branch.
This is the "descendant belt" provided to pilgrims in Jingci Temple.
Tie a branch to one end to add weight.
Zhike Monk didn't say anything about pomegranate wood.
Looking at this, Shu Shu guessed it was a dead branch of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree.
There are not twelve straps in a handful, only three.
According to the Zhike monk, this is enough once. If you ask three times, if it doesn't go well, it's because your heart is not sincere. Come back next time.
Everyone stood under the tree and looked up at the osmanthus tree.
Brother Jiu couldn't help but came up to Shu Shu and complained to her in a low voice, saying: "The old monk is such a thief. If there are more than ten belts, if you throw them around, a blind cat can hang on one even if it kills a mouse." These three are not guaranteed, it is a long-term deal..."
This is totally unreasonable when giving birth to a child.
If everyone successfully wears red on the "Child-seeking Tree", they will not be able to give birth to children when they come back, and they will not be able to come and destroy the temple.
In the end, there were only three chances, and the only ones who couldn't hold on were blaming themselves.
Shu Shu looked at the red belt in Brother Jiu's hand and said, "Why don't you give it a try..."
Brother Jiu stiffened, then shook his head and said: "No, no, it's better for you to do it. I can't trust myself..."
If your hand is crooked, it will be unlucky.
It is said that ghosts and gods "are there if you believe them, and none if you don't believe them." Brother Jiu couldn't be sure that he didn't believe it at all.
The one who was more nervous than them was Wu Fujin.
The fifth elder brother stood nearby, seeing his wife holding her breath and concentrating, and noticed her nervousness.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "How about... I throw it?"
In that case, Fujin would not have to blame himself if he really couldn't get pregnant later.
Although the fifth elder brother was raised by the Queen Mother, he did not believe in Buddhism very much.
He felt more like money from Mengxiang people.
The incense sold in the market outside is expensive, only 200 yuan for twelve sticks, but three sticks in the temple cost 20 taels of silver.
His homework is ordinary, but he can still do basic math.
Wu Fujin glanced at Brother Wu, shook his head and said, "Didn't you say that you need to throw it yourself?"
Her hand holding the red ribbon was shaking a little, and she looked up at the nearby branches, unsure of what to do.
"Hehe, this is too simple. I have harnessed a horse on the grassland, and I'm pretty sure..." Shi Fujin and Shi Age showed off, their voices charming and naive.
Brother Ten said: "Then hang them all..."
When the time comes when three little brothers are born, Ninth Brother and Ninth Sister-in-law can choose.
Wu Fujin exhaled while listening to the conversation between the Tenth Prince and his wife.
We can't delay it any longer, the two younger siblings are still waiting.
Seeing her nervousness, Shu Shu walked over and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be anxious. I'll try it first and see how I throw it."
Brother Jiu was listening, but he was a little anxious.
There are only three in total. What should you try?
Just as he was about to stop him, Shu Shu had already waved to Xiao Chun.
Xiao Chun stepped forward and handed her the red belt in his hand.
It's not the three from Jingci Temple, but the one I just bought at the incense market outside.
Brother Jiu then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I'll give it a try too."
There are twelve of their fake tapes.
Shu Shu nodded slightly, took a belt, found a branch closer to the bottom, and threw the belt up.
I was too strong and threw it too high. Fortunately, it was caught by other branches when I fell back. It was considered a success.
"Haha, it's done!"
Brother Jiu smiled happily when he saw this, thinking it was a good sign.
As for the one in his hand, he didn't plan to throw it away in case it fell to the ground.
How unlucky.
He could see clearly, but Shu Shu was not 100% sure just now.
There is no wind today.
Shu Shubi measured his arms, thinking about the strength he had just exerted, and then looked at his position just now, turned to look at Wufu Jin and said, "Sister-in-law, come here and stand closer."
"Um!"
Wufujin was convinced by Shu Shu, responded, and approached according to her words.
"The arm is almost at this angle, and then you just throw it as hard as you can. There are thick branches over there. If you are strong, you can hang it on the branch behind if you throw it too far."
Shu Shu explained carefully.
Because there is no wind, it is easy to throw it up as long as the angle and strength are about the same.
Wufujin also listened carefully, and then picked up the silk belt.
She knew that she was not strong enough, mainly because of the first few shots.
It definitely won’t work later.
The red silk ribbon was thrown into the sky.
It fell to the ground next to the opposite branch.
Wu Fujin smiled and did it a second time.
Now I was sure, I threw it higher than the branch, and I saw that it was about to land on the opposite branch.
"Flop, flutter", but two birds flew out from the branches nearby, causing the branches to tremble.
The red silk ribbon fell again.
The scene suddenly became quiet.
The smile on Wu Fujin's face froze as he looked at the little black dot that was getting further and further away in the sky.
Shu Shu stepped forward and said: "Maybe the Buddha is kind-hearted and doesn't want to bother us coming all the way to fulfill our vows. When we return to Beijing, my sister-in-law should accompany me to Hongluo Temple..."
Wu Fujin looked at her and smiled tenderly.
This is care and chaos.
It is never the Buddha or Bodhisattva who makes the decision regarding this girl's affairs.
Wu Fujin thought about the whispers between the crickets and the two, and he also mastered the method of calculating the days suitable for conception. He became much calmer and threw the remaining silk belt up.
I don’t know if it’s because the angle is right or because people feel relaxed.
This red silk ribbon hangs steadily on the opposite branch of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree.
"Wow! It's hung up!"
Shi Fujin laughed loudly beside him.
Wu Fujin's eyes were filled with heat, and he said happily: "Well, it's done!"
Brother Jiu A pushed Shu Shu and urged: "Hurry up, throw in all three!"
Having said this, he shook his head again, took out one piece of silk ribbon in his hand, handed two to Shu Shu, and said: "Zhike said that you can only throw it three times at a time, otherwise the Buddha would be greedy and ignore this wish. No, let’s count the first time, don’t risk the total..."
But it’s a beautiful vision.
Shu Shu followed him and threw both of the two in his hands, and they hung on the branches smoothly.
This time it was the fifth elder brother who laughed out loud: "Okay, okay! Buddha heard it!"
On the contrary, I was even happier than when Wu Fujin was hung up just now.
Brother Jiu was very proud and wanted to show off that he had three tricks!
Not one!
The words came to his lips, but he changed his words again and said with a smile: "Who told us to be sincere!"
The remaining Ten Fortunes are not as worried about gains and losses as the Five Fortunes, but they are also serious.
She clasped her hands together, moved her lips slightly, and muttered something.
Among the three Zhumi, she is the true Buddhist, and everyone in her family believes in Buddhism.
When it came time to throw, she looked very serious.
As a result, it hung up on the first try.
The tenth elder brother was beside him with a smile on his lips.
This is a good sign.
It's a pity that I only hung up this time.
got windy.
The second one was blown off course.
By the third one, it didn't even get past the branches.
Shi Fujin looked at it with red eyes. He choked up and asked Brother Shi: "What should we do? If we only have this one, give it to Brother Ninth and Sister-in-law Ninth, we will lose it?"
Brother Ten couldn't laugh or cry, and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, take one first, and ask for the second one when we go to Hongluo Temple."
Besides, if this is completely effective, there will be three of them on Ninth Brother’s side!
Huh?
The tenth elder brother glanced at the ninth elder brother.
If that were the case, I would learn from Ninth Brother and ask for a nephew from Ninth Brother.
This avoids the difficulty of raising single seedlings.
Shi Fujin was very coaxed, and immediately nodded and said: "Well, well, then when we go to Hongluo Temple, we will also ask for a little princess like Sister-in-law Jiu..."
This is where we learned the origin of Shu Shu’s name.
Brother Jiu, who was standing by, heard that something was wrong and said, "They all say that the girl looks like an aunt, but I haven't heard that the girl looks like an aunt..."
Shifujin said, "When the time comes, let Sister-in-law Jiu teach you, and you will be like Sister-in-law Jiu!"
The sign is good.
No matter what, everyone got a satisfactory result.
When they came out of Jingci Temple, everyone was stunned.
It's like a different world.
The bustling Xiangshi market just now has dispersed.
Where there were originally beaches on both sides of the road, there was only some mess left.
Several young novice monks took brooms and were cleaning.
There were some bannermen and a few adults wearing patchwork uniforms beside them.
Gao Yanzhong is among them.
Seeing Brother Jiu and others coming out, Gao Yanzhong trotted forward and greeted everyone.
Brother Jiu looked at this scene, how could he not know?
"The Holy Driver is coming over. Didn't he say he would take a lake tour in the afternoon?"
"The Emperor saw that the Queen Mother was worried about the masters, so he sent the Queen Mother over..."
Gao Yanzhong bowed and said: "I came here with Master Ma. Master Ma went to the temple to meet the abbot..."
Having said this, he pointed to one side of the lake and said, "Master Qi will lead people to set up defenses there."
Brother Jiu couldn't help grinding his teeth after hearing this, and couldn't help but whisper to Shu Shu: "Khan Ama is too clingy, so we probably have to follow him obediently."
Shu Shu said nothing.
That's all.
That's pretty good too.
She didn't want to be like Ke Xiaoshu, who strayed from the main force looking for trouble and encountered any emergencies again.
After an estimated two-quarters of an hour, the road in front of us was almost cleared.
They were also paved with yellow sand and sprinkled with water.
Luan Jia is mighty and mighty, from far to near.
The seventh elder brother had already set up his defense and was standing between the fifth elder brother and the ninth elder brother, following him to welcome the driver.
Brother Jiu saw his sullen face and said, "Brother Seven, have you sent a letter to the capital?"
Brother Seventh glanced at him and didn't answer.
Brother Ninth Brother disapproved and said, "It's already the end of March. If you don't write me, Sister-in-law Seven will give birth to her child!"
The seventh elder brother snorted: "Noisy!"
Brother Ninth Brother gritted his teeth and said: "You are too inconsiderate. I should be more diligent in writing letters and sending things out in person when I am not here. Otherwise Sister-in-law Seven will be so pitiful, as if the child does not have an amma!"
Brother Seventh was so verbose that he said, "I'm going to write the letter!"
Brother Jiu then nodded with satisfaction and said: "Anyway, you have to be more diligent, otherwise women are all petty and will hold grudges when the time comes!"
Shu Shu stood on the right side of Brother Jiu. Hearing these words, he wanted to shake his fists.
The fifth elder brother couldn't stand listening anymore and said: "You are too worried. The seventh brother is the elder brother, you should still worry about yourself."
Brother Jiu hummed softly: "What's wrong, brother? I may not be able to compare with others, but these two people are living a life as good as ours."
He was very arrogant.
And he also had a knack for guessing the emperor's father's intentions.
I won’t share this with you!
Ha ha!
rice.
There is another update from yesterday in the morning. Don’t miss it. I whispered that I won’t finish it next time, so I won’t make any announcements. I broke my promise and didn’t even dare to read the comments.
