Chapter 242 Zhuzhu Returns Home to Be Married
The next day.
Nan Baoyi came back from doing business at the government office. As soon as he stepped into Songhe Courtyard and was thinking of saying hello to his grandmother, he was hugged by Nan Baozhu.
She was surprised: "Zhuzhu, why are you back?"
Nan Baozhu smiled and said, "The eldest princess let me come back because she wanted to prepare for the wedding in March. Jiaojiao, I can play with you!"
Nan Baoyi suddenly realized.
Yes, now their Nanfu is also an aristocratic family, and the little cousin is going to be promoted as the Crown Princess.
Of course, you have to go home and live before you officially get married.
Next to Nan Baozhu, stood a young girl with her hair in a bun.
She blessed herself with Baoyi towards Nan, and said in a soft voice, "Sister from the Nan family."
Nan Baoyi quickly returned the greeting: "Sister Ning is here too. I didn't even see her just now. I was rude!"
This young girl is none other than Ning Wanzhou's second sister, Ning Fanhua.
Nan Baozhu explained: "The second sister had an unpleasant quarrel with her husband's family, so she went back to Zhenguo Gong's Mansion for a short stay. Seeing that I was going back to Nan's house, she wanted to stay with me for a while, so that she could stay with me and relax."
Nan Baoyi glanced at Ning Fanhua.
Sister Ning's second sister has a beautiful and elegant appearance, but there is a natural sadness in her eyebrows. She has obviously been depressed for a long time, and she may be marrying a man who is not to her liking.
Ning Fanhua chuckled: "It's not a secret anymore. Women in Chang'an City have more or less heard about the affairs in my house. I married the eldest son of the famous Lu family. I have been married for two years, but I have not been able to give birth to a child." One son and one half daughter. My aunt thought I was useless, so she took many concubines for my husband. Unfortunately, there was no movement in the bellies of those concubines. My aunt suspected that I was jealous, and secretly gave those concubines the medicine to eliminate heirs. So my husband and I accused me together, but I refused to admit it, so I went home in anger."
Nan Baoyi felt sad as he listened.
The life of a noble lady is actually not that comfortable.
She asked with concern: "Can you ask the doctor to take a look?"
Ning Fanhua lowered her head and caressed her flat belly sadly: "The doctor said that I am healthy and there is nothing wrong with me."
Nan Baoyi said crisply: "Then it's your husband's problem."
After she finished speaking, Ning Fanhua looked at her in surprise.
She was confused: "Did I say the wrong thing?"
"No!" Nan Baozhu smiled and held her hand, "Wanwan and I also think it's the Lu family's problem, but they won't admit it. They will only blame us women. It's disgusting! "
Ning Fanhua looked at the two sisters and suddenly felt very friendly.
She said warmly: "Zhuzhu and I have discussed it and plan to go to the Buddhist temple tomorrow to pray for good luck and other things. Will sister Nan's family go with us?"
Nan Baoyi had exactly this intention.
The second day.
Nan Baoyi took a rest and took a carriage with Nan Baozhu and Ning Fanhua to the Buddhist temple in the north of Chang'an City.
It is the beginning of spring, and the flowers and plants in the temple are quietly sprouting. The temple is full of incense and people are coming and going. The breeze brings waves of fresh and delicious pine wood, and the bronze Buddha bells hanging on the corners of the eaves ring crisply.
Ning Fanhua introduced: "You come from Jinguan City and you don't know anything about the Buddhist temples in Chang'an.
This Longyin Temple is the most effective in seeking children and marriage. Even in the nearby cities, many young ladies and young ladies come to pray for blessings at the beginning of spring. "
Nan Baoyi looked around.
As expected, the majority of the people coming and going were young women.
She was curious: "Is Zhuzhu also here to ask for a child?"
Nan Baozhu's cheeks turned red: "I, I am just accompanying you two, I am not asking for a child... I, I am not in any hurry to have a child..."
"You can't lie in front of the Bodhisattva. You're getting married. What's there to be ashamed of?" Ning Fanhua chuckled softly, "Shall we go in?"
Nan Baoyi looked at the statue of Guanyin in the palace.
Guanyin has a kind face and holds a cute doll in her arms.
It seemed that as long as he bowed in front of her a few times, he would get a baby of his own.
But Nan Baoyi knew very well that her body was disabled and the miracle doctor was unable to do anything. No matter how much she prayed to God or Buddha, what would be the use?
The smile on her face faded a little: "I don't need to beg for a baby, you two can just go in. I'll go to the backyard to have a look at the life-release pool. See you later."
She gave a blessing and went straight to the backyard.
Ning Fanhua was about to persuade her to stay, but Nan Baozhu held her hand in time.
She understands her sister's concerns.
She whispered: "There is no need to keep her... Jiaojiao will be even more sad when she sees Guanyin sending her children."
Nan Baoyi walked through two screen walls and came to the backyard of the Buddhist temple.
Longyin Temple occupies a large area. The backyard encompasses two mountains in the suburbs, and a river runs through it. On the bridge and by the river, there are many people who come to release animals, and there are also old people and children who come to collect blessings.
She stood under the weeping willow and saw a peasant woman squatting on the other side.
She carefully took out two carps from the bucket, chanted Amitabha, and put the carps into the river.
The woman who accompanied her laughed and said: "You are married to a butcher who kills pigs. He kills pigs every day. What's the use of releasing two carps? When he gets up tomorrow, he will still kill pigs!" "
The peasant woman wiped her sweat and said with a simple smile: "It's good to save a little blessing. The Buddha knows that we husband and wife have good intentions in our hearts, that's enough."
Nan Baoyi tightened her skirt.
She remembered that there is a saying in the Buddhist scriptures that among all other sins, killing is the most serious, and among all the merits, life-saving is the first.
The sin of killing the second brother in his previous life was too serious...
She told Yu Weiwei: "Send someone to the Chang'an market to buy all the wild birds, wild fish, hares and other small animals in the market, and then release them at Longyin Temple."
After the aftertaste left, the Taoist priest with a Taoist crown and gauze robe floated over, swinging his fly whisk.
The Taoist man was born handsome, and a little cinnabar between his eyebrows was particularly pleasing to the eye.
He said loudly: "Little junior sister, you are obviously a member of the Taoist sect, how come you believe in Buddha?"
It's a poinsettia.
Nan Baoyi turned to him and was surprised: "Senior brother, why did you come to the Buddhist temple too?"
"If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known that you came to worship Buddha. Junior sister's behavior will be insulting to our sect if word spreads about it!"
Nan Baoyi raised his eyebrows: "The act of releasing animals can be regarded as accumulating blessings and doing good deeds for Buddha and Tao. Since it is a matter of benefiting all living beings, why should we stick to Buddha and Tao?"
Poinsettia was dumb.
His little junior sister was so good at talking and speaking that even he was willing to be her inferior.
He sat on a stone pier by the river, casually took out a green lotus pod from his wide sleeve, and generously handed it to Nan Baoyi: "Eat it."
The lotus pods are as big as the mouth of a bowl and emit a strange fragrance.
It's not like ordinary lotus pods.
Nan Baoyi took it in surprise: "It's only early spring, why are there lotus pods?"
Poinsettia shook her whisk: "No matter what, what senior brother gives you is of course good stuff. Just eat it and I won't give it to others!"
Nan Baoyi was not polite to him, so he peeled it open and ate it himself.
Poinsettia stared at her, with a bit of reluctance in her eyes.
Lotus seeds lead to children, and many children and grandchildren will lead to noble children.
The lotus pods he raised are truly a treasure!
