"Xuan Yi, let me test you. The "Zhengguan of Heaven and Earth" says, 'Yin and Yang in the world are so matched.' Since the shop owner is kind-hearted, why is the wife he is matched with so fierce and fierce? What is the reason for her insulting me? Woolen cloth?"
"How do I know this? Master, you are digging a hole for me again, I won't be fooled." Xuan Yi's spiritual eyes turned and he raised his head high.
"All the answers in the world are in your heart. As long as you are willing to look, it will appear naturally. Let's start with what you see."
"Since you asked sincerely, let me say a few words. You are not allowed to ambush me. That woman's temperament and appearance are not bad. She was probably born in a wealthy family and was pampered since childhood. She is fierce and unruly, so she may not have bad intentions. Xiaofeng Tong has a kind-hearted personality, a bit pedantic, and is not capable of running such a large family business. The mistress is probably running the house. Also, Xiaofeng Tong is a false Taoist, and has some thoughts of escaping from the world. I am afraid that the relationship between husband and wife is also indifferent. . Looking at it this way, the heroine has a slightly inferior character but is also hard-working and can love and protect her husband. Xiaofeng is righteous but not pragmatic, and is alienated from human relationships and is a bit decadent. It is the perfect match of yin and yang. And the woman insulted the master, first of all, they are husband and wife We have long had dissatisfaction, complaining and distrusting each other. Secondly, Master, you are wearing too shabby clothes, you really look like a beggar. Master, it’s time for you to change your robes, this one is worn out, we are Master, you should pay attention to your image."
"Yes. The wife of the Xiao family is a kind person. She is just caring for the family in her own way, which is not completely unreasonable. Xiao Fengtong did not understand his wife's thoughts and mistook care for resentment. Over time, he created irreparable hatred. "For such a simple thing, it doesn't matter if the master gets scolded. Besides, why do you feel resentful and want me to punish others?" "Hey! Master, go around and say that I am petty, right? Brother, let's go. Come on, never talk to the Taoist priest again."
In the east courtyard, in front of a persimmon tree full of buds, there is a hexagonal square well. Xiaofeng Tong was full of sorrow and looked at the dark well in a daze.
Xuan Yi and Xuantian came over happily. They also lay at the mouth of the well and watched. Seeing the cute little boy together, he couldn't help but feel a little happy, "I'm not going to throw myself into the well, but I'm just upset. The water in this well must be somewhat clean." Oh. I often see beggars on the street, shriveled up from hunger and shivering in the cold wind. That’s really sad.”
"Sigh. Little kid doesn't know that people have different worries. When they are hungry and cold, there is only the simple worry of hunger and cold. But once they are fed and clothed, all kinds of worries in the world will come. Practitioners like your master don't have any When worldly things drag you down, that is true happiness. We ordinary people's worries are like hair, and they grow longer as we live."
"Wow, scholars really like to chant without illness. I have never experienced the feeling of starvation and cold, so I can say such hypocritical words. And the difference between you and my master is not in identity. The master traveled all over the country and suffered from hunger and cold. He has been insulted by thousands of people, seduced by stunning beauties and beauties in the mountains, and even embarrassed and persecuted by the gods, Buddhas and immortals in the sky. The master has never been moved or felt embarrassed. This is true skill. Your sorrows are different from those of outsiders. It has nothing to do with it, it all comes from your inner desires and distracting thoughts. Even if you wear Taoist robes and leave home, you will still miss your mother and wife, and everything in the world will still bother you."
"Ah, you are such a young kid, you actually understand so many truths in the world."
"That's right! Even though we are young, we have traveled a lot with the master in the sky and on the earth, and we have seen countless monsters and monsters. Tell me, what are you worried about? Maybe I, a master's apprentice, can help you. An idea?"
"Well, speaking of it, it's really not a big deal. My father died of illness when I was young, and my mother raised me. When I was twenty years old, I married my current wife. My wife's family is wealthy, and she is also very virtuous and hard-working. Such a person She accomplished her career all by herself. In this way, it should have been a good life for the family to live in harmony. Unfortunately, my mother and my wife had different personalities and were like fire and water. They bickered all day long, and they often even threatened each other to death. One wanted me to divorce my wife, and the other wanted me to divorce my wife. I had to ask my mother to move away. I was in a dilemma and there was really no way I could do it.”
"Haha, it turns out it's just such a trivial matter. Conflicts between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law are common in the world, but the root cause is not actually the mother-in-law, nor the daughter-in-law, but your son and husband."
"What does this mean? How is it my fault?"
"You are the backbone of the family, the support of your wife and the support of your mother. If you are filial to your mother, your wife will naturally be filial to you. If you respect your wife, your mother will naturally be respectful. If your wife feels that you are not trustworthy enough, she will get angry and act violently. Your mother will get angry and cause trouble when she thinks you can't rely on her. Then you have to reflect on yourself. Why don't your wife and mother trust you and obey you?"
"But I think I'm doing a good job? I'm both filial to my mother and respectful to my wife, and there's nothing wrong with me."
"It's a big mistake if you don't know you're wrong. For example, just now you exempted the Taoist priest from food and lodging, why didn't you discuss it with her? Your wife wanted to drive the Taoist priest away, why didn't you obey and instead argued with her? Your wife needs It's your consideration and care, not your reason." "She did something wrong, how can I obey? Wouldn't that be condoning a strong wife to do evil?"
"Her fault comes from you, because you did not give her enough trust. Do you like Buddhism and Taoism, so do you often ignore the kindness between husband and wife? You shout about practicing every day, and talk about how to live a troubled life, and how your wife can live with peace of mind. Will she feel uneasy when she sees that you are so interested in Taoist priests, fearing that you will really abandon her and leave home to practice practice? She has a strong personality and cannot communicate with you in a soft manner. She can only express it through quarrels. Such caring becomes a success The quarrel started over time and turned into a real hatred. Your old lady knows that you and your husband are not getting along, so she will naturally be biased towards you, and she will naturally embarrass her a hundred times."
"What you said makes some sense, but it's not all because of this. My wife is a merchant, and she always spends money and money. I don't like doing this the most. In addition, she has an unruly personality. She often beats and scolds the servants and bullies the poor. I even I can't stand it. Also, we have been childless for ten years, and my mother is afraid that my Xiao family will lose its incest, so she often marries me into concubines. In short, there are too many such things, and it is difficult to explain. Perhaps, this marriage It was a mistake from the beginning."
"Hey! You shouldn't say these words. The yin and yang in the world are so matched, and existence is inevitable and reasonable. The first fate of who is with whom is destined by heaven and cannot be wrong. But, you can't understand the movement of heaven and earth It's just a rule. Of course, I can't understand what the master is talking about. In short, you are also a confused person. You always think that others are bad and you can't see your own faults. So it's useless for me to talk. Brother , the roses are in full bloom in the garden behind, let’s go there and play!”
Xuan Yi lost interest in talking and ran away happily with Xuan Tian again. "Hey, only children in this world can have such pure happiness."
Xiaofeng Tong was about to go to the Taoist to express his apology for what had just happened. At this time, a little maid in pink clothes ran over, sweating profusely and shouted: "Master, something has happened. My mistress is in critical condition and is very scary. Please Go and have a look soon." Xiao Fengtong was not in a hurry, and sighed: "We just met, why did you suddenly become seriously ill? You are afraid that you are pretending to be sick again to scare me." After saying this, he still ran away Check.
When I came to the main room in the backyard, I heard the screams of my wife wailing in the distance. Xiaofeng ran into the room and took a look, suddenly breaking out in a cold sweat. I saw that the belly of the person on the bed was bulging like a ball, as if some monster was stuffed inside. It was constantly swelling and surging, and the skin was about to explode. The woman was in agony, sweating profusely, and kept rolling on the bed and screaming.
"Madam, what's going on! How could this happen? Come and call the doctor! Come and call the doctor!" Xiao Fengtong turned pale with fright and shouted outside. "Which doctor should I call? Is the madam afraid that she is possessed by evil spirits?" The two maids in the room were frightened and confused, standing at a distance at a loss. "Please, invite all the doctors in the town." Xiaofeng shouted urgently, hugging his wife and comforting him: "Madam, it's okay, the doctor will be here soon." "Ah! It hurts me so much! Ah, help me. !" The woman was so painful that she scratched the sheets and screamed in agony.
Soon the whole village was in chaos. Neighbors and guests from the village all gathered outside the courtyard to watch the excitement when they heard that the lady of the house had a strange disease. More than a dozen doctors from the town quickly rushed over.
Taoist priest Qingtian was writing magic talismans in his room when two disciples rushed over to him.
"Master, master, something big has happened. That woman has been attacked by an evil spirit, and I'm afraid she's going to die." Xuan Yi threw himself on the Taoist's lap and shook her hard. "He is seriously ill, why are you happy?" The Taoist stopped writing and asked. "I'm not happy for the master. Whoever made her scold you must have been punished. Master, let's go and have a look. The woman is strangely ill. Maybe there is a ghost at work, and you can use it. "This is called schadenfreude. If I don't slap you with a ruler for a few days, you will start to get carried away again. If you do it again today, I will slap you with a ruler." "I understand, master, come with us to have a look. It's too late." Look down on it."
