"Why is the Dharma King crying? Wait for me to give you the sweet dew of the spring to resolve the sorrow and resentment in your heart, and turn your crying into laughter." After the monk said this, he took out a delicate gourd from his pocket and gently dripped the nectar from the gourd into the baby's skin. In his mouth, the crying stopped.
The baby's eyes were open, looking forward, looking at Xu Zhanfeng familiarly, as if he had known each other before, but also as if he understood.
Zhang Jinchao was very surprised when he saw it: "This... thank you, master, for saving the child and stopping his crying."
Xu Zhanfeng stroked his beard and said: "Mr. Zhang, you don't have to be polite, it's just because your son is destined to be a poor monk and his talents are extraordinary..."
The midwife saw Zhang Jinchao holding his precious son, standing there stupidly, and reminded him: "Master Zhang, hurry up and cut open the chicken to restore consciousness."
He was so happy that his son came back from the dead. After hearing what the midwife said, he said as if he had just woken up from a dream: "Ah, you see, I have forgotten this big thing."
Wang Shaoxiang took the baby and hugged it, urging, "Yes, sir, hurry up and cut open the hen that is laying eggs to restore consciousness."
"Yes." Zhang Jinzhao was about to catch chickens when the monk waved his hand and said, "No, I have to drink some water and have to go on my way."
Seeing that the monk insisted on stopping him, Zhang Jinzhao had no choice but to bring a bowl of water to him.
After drinking the water and saying goodbye, Xu Zhanfeng said: "Because your son is destined to be a member of the Hui family and is born with wisdom, the poor monk wants to give him a name."
Zhang Jinchao hesitated: "Give the child a name? What name?"
Xu Zhanfeng said: "Mr. Zhang's surname is Zhang Shaofei."
"Shaofei? Master, why should my son be called Zhang Shaofei?" Zhang Jinchao asked puzzledly.
Xu Zhanfeng counted on his fingers and said: "Zhang, my surname is also Shaofei. He can fly over Guanshan Huimen, do wise things, and promote the wisdom of the law to save a place. Sir, please remember this name and do not change it at will."
Zhang Jinchao hesitated: "Yes, Master, you said that my son has a fate with Huifa. How big of a fate is there?"
Xu Zhanfeng said mysteriously, "This... we will know when the time comes. Why ask first? Mr. Zhang, please send your son back to the back room quickly to avoid catching a cold." After saying that, he took out a pair of silver bell bracelets from his bag and put it on the baby's hand. "May this bracelet protect your son from growing up safely."
Zhang Jinchao agreed and hurriedly took the baby back to the inner room. When he turned around and went to the outer room to take another look, Xu Zhanfeng was gone.
Zhang Jinchao felt that he was like a god, why was he moving so fast.
He suddenly thought of what he had just said, and suddenly became frightened. Thinking about the relationship between father and son, and the important matter of continuing Zhangmen Cigarettes, he did not want his son to convert to Huimen, let alone allow his son to become a Taoist monk.
However, he heard clearly what the master just said, and he was extremely frightened.
He shouted involuntarily: "No, my son's name is not Zhang Shaofei! I, Zhang Jinchao, have been longing for me day and night, and I have finally hoped for a son. I can't let him become a Taoist priest, absolutely not!"
Before he could finish his words, tears welled up in his eyes.
Suddenly, he felt a buzzing in his ears and listened carefully. It was the monk talking to him:
"Mr. Zhang, don't be sad. Besides, when your son grows up, not only the poor monk is no longer alive, but you, Mr. Zhang, are no longer alive. No matter what he does, you and I can't control him. Everything has a cause and a consequence. , why should you be sad about the future? You should take care of yourself and take good care of your son."
Zhang Jinchao felt that he had been enveloped by the sound, and his ears and head were filled with dense sounds, as if the speaker was above his head and beside him.
Zhang Jinchao looked up and looked around, but there was no one there.
He became even more convinced that this monk was a divine being who had come to enlighten him.
He was so frightened that he collapsed helplessly on the ground, bitter tears bursting from his eyes.
Zhang Jinchao only heard the monk's voice but not the monk's figure, which made him even more convinced that the master was a spiritual being who came to enlighten him.
He believed that this was God's will and he couldn't change it, and he was in great pain.
In fact, this was not an apparition from the gods. It was just that Xu Zhanfeng's internal power was profound and he used his superior internal power to transmit sounds into secrets to send the sound into his ears from a distance, allowing him to hear it clearly without disturbing others. .
Zhang Jinchao was sad for a long time before he slowly stood up and walked towards the back room.
When I entered the back room, I saw that my wife was protecting my beloved son and sleeping sweetly.
Zhang Jinchao knew that his wife was very tired after giving birth. In addition, the child was always moving and moving after being resurrected, and his wife did not get a good rest. Now that she was asleep, he should not disturb her.
Besides, we can't let her know about this, lest she can't bear the blow.
Zhang Jinchao thought of this and collapsed on the chair exhausted.
Think about how I longed for it day and night, always hoping to give birth to a son, but once I had hoped to give birth to a son, he died again;
After his resurrection, he said that he was destined to Huimen, but he really had unspeakable difficulties in his heart.
He does not want his son to become a Taoist priest in the future, but he does not know what his son will do in the future.
Be an official?
No, it is not good to be an official. The officialdom is changeable and very dangerous.
For the people? It is not good to serve the people. A good person can make a living, but if he does not do well, he will be oppressed by others, have no food and clothing, and work hard all his life. It is better to become an immortal and live freely...
But……
At that time, Zhang Jinchao's joyful mood when he saw his son was born could not be described by the "four great joys" in life. There was an added joy, that is: looking forward to giving birth to a son.
At this moment, it would be necessary to add two words to each of the "five great joys" to describe his state of mind at this time:
After a long drought comes sweet rain, a few drops;
Meeting old friends and enemies in a foreign land;
The wedding night, next door;
Not necessarily when naming names on the gold list.
When I look forward to having a son, I feel happy.
How happy it is to be greeted by sweet rain after a long drought, but just a few drops are incomprehensible;
Meeting an old friend in a foreign country is a good thing, but if you meet an enemy, it would be better not to meet one at all;
It was a night of flowers and candles in the wedding room, next door, we couldn't get together, so we were anxious;
When you are named on the gold list, it is not necessarily, not necessarily when you are named on the gold list, good things turn into sad things;
When I look forward to having a son, I feel happy.
At this moment, Zhang Jinchao's heart felt like an overturned five-flavor bottle, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, salty, all five flavors...
After a long time, he was freed from the pain.
He thought to himself: Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. No matter where they go in the future, we will talk about the future. I will do the things in front of me first, cook for my wife, and let my wife take good care of herself and raise the children well.
Thinking of this, his mood improved slightly and he went into the kitchen to cook.
At about noon, Wang Shaoxiang woke up from his sweet dream. When he opened his eyes and saw his precious son beside him, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Wang Shaoxiang enjoyed the warmth and happiness of being a mother for the first time in her life and was extremely happy.
But Zhang Jinchao was half happy and half worried. He forced a smile and brought the hot meal in front of her: "Madam, let's eat."
"Husband, why do you look so ugly? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Although Zhang Jinchao pretended to be very good, the smart and careful Wang Shaoxiang still noticed that something was wrong with his demeanor.
Zhang Jinchao put on a cheerful face: "Really? No, maybe I was too happy last night and didn't sleep well."
Wang Shaoxiang looked at him intently: "There is no better wife than a wife who knows her husband. How can you hide what's on your mind from me? I see that you have difficulties in your heart. What difficulties can't you tell your wife?"
After Wang Shaoxiang's repeated questioning, Zhang Jinchao had no choice but to tell the truth.
When Wang Shaoxiang heard this, it was like a bolt from the blue, his head was buzzing and he fainted.
Zhang Jinchao was so frightened that he shouted: "Madam, wake up! Madam, wake up!"
Over the years, Wang Shaoxiang chanted sutras and worshiped Buddha in order to have a son to support her in her old age and continue to smoke cigarettes. However, she never expected that her son would be a member of the Hui family in the future, which really made her unable to accept this fact.
When Zhang Jinchao saw Wang Shaoxiang, his face was pale and he wanted to cry but had no tears.
Knowing that she was extremely sad, he hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Madam, don't be sad, take care of yourself, Fei'er still needs us to raise him. Besides, the world is unpredictable, and it's not certain what he will do in the future, so why should you take the master's words as Really? Think about it, if our son really becomes a Wisdom Lord in the future, it will be God’s will. Whose family can give birth to a child that can fill the room with light and fragrance? If my son can really become a Wisdom Lord in the future and save the ancestors of all generations, To educate the general public, then my husband and I will not raise a child in vain, it will also be our honor!"
Listen, what Zhang Jinchao said sounded so nice.
These words of profound justice were not from his heart.
If he really thought so, he would not be in pain or sorrow, nor would he deny Zhang Shaofei's name.
Why doesn't Zhang Jinchao want his son to follow the path of an ordinary person, start a family and build a career, and carry on the family line? He just said this to comfort Wang Shaoxiang.
After Zhang Jinchao's patient comfort and persuasion, Wang Shaoxiang really stopped feeling sad.
At this moment, the couple is really: neither happy, nor sad, nor happy, nor crying. They have so many mixed feelings that they can't tell what it feels like.
…
The couple cherished and cared for Zhang Shaofei in every possible way. They were really scared with their heads on their heads, with their chests pressed against their chests, and with their mouths in their mouths, they melted away.
People with different moods also experience time differently.
Some people often feel that time flies by too fast, while some people feel that time flies by too slowly.
Zhang Jinchao and his wife worked hard to raise Zhang Shaofei, day after day, month after month, and finally survived for a spring and autumn.
They waited until Zhang Shaofei was one year old and saw that Zhang Shaofei was strong and healthy, and they were relieved.
When Zhang Shaofei struggled to say "Dad" for the first time, Zhang Jinchao was so happy that he cried and hugged little Zhang Shaofei: "Fei'er, as a father, I have finally waited for this day, for my biological son to call me This is the day for dad."
Zhang Jinchao was happy as he watched his son grow up.
After Zhang Jinchao learned about his son's future from the monk, he was depressed all day long, which actually made him physically and mentally exhausted and plagued by various diseases. Recently, he gradually felt that his health was difficult to support.
