Day of early spring
In Santai Temple, where there are many people, everyone holds fragrance in his hands, kneels down to pray for Buddha, and also tells his wish.
Meng Changyin knelt down to worship with three fragrant sticks in his hands, followed by a maid who was close to him. She called softly, "Ruixue, go and donate some money for me."
The servant girl who asked Ruixue to bow slightly, went to the donation box on one side, took out a ingot of silver, put it in her hand and paid ten obeisances to the statue of Buddha, and then paid three obeisances to the donation box before she was relieved to throw the silver ingot into the donation box. For Ruixue, her master's wish was her wish.
"The believer Meng Changyin came to worship the Buddha and burn incense today. I wish my parents, brothers and sisters good health, my sweetheart a high position, and my own safety."
Sanbai got up and tried to put the fragrance on the stove, but before he stepped forward, the incense ash fell on his finger. The scalded Meng Changyin frowned: "Tut..."
Meng Changyin looked up at the Buddha statue and wondered if the Buddha was giving her a wake-up call, but the golden Maitreya Buddha's face was kind, his smiling eyes would not change, and his grinning mouth could not pick out who was dissatisfied with her.
Ruixue hurriedly came over, looked at his young lady's finger and smiled: "Oh, young lady, the incense burning hand is predestined by the Buddha, which means that a good thing is coming". Then she took three sticks of incense from Meng Changyin's hand, inserted them into the incense burner, and helped Meng Changyin out of the temple.
I never thought that a little monk in front of the temple gate would stop them.
"Miss, please stop. Just now, I saw that Miss donated some sesame oil money. You can smoke a piece of Tiansi after you add incense to our temple."
The Tiansi in the mouth of the little monk is a sign with prophecy written on it. Most of them have some auspicious words, or have the meaning of prophecy.
Meng Changyin shook one out of the signbox that the little monk took.
"How?"
The little monk took the sign and looked at it. The prophecy was "The crane comes out from the clouds, and people come back from the moon. The new sweetheart smiles, and does not need to frown."
The little monk quickly changed his smile and said happily:
"Congratulations, Miss. Congratulations, this is the lucky sign above. Good luck is coming. Miss has a long way to go. You will be blessed as you walk."
Meng Changyin and Ruixue looked at each other and smiled. The Buddha Lord would not lie. Some of the prophecies on the Tiansi were bleak and difficult to understand. It was hard to guarantee that the little monk would not exaggerate and flatter in order to make money for incense. But as the saying goes, reach out and not hit the smiley, and just give a reward for saying auspicious words.
"Let me add some more sesame oil money, Ruixue..."
When Ruixue understood the meaning, she took another ingot of silver from her purse and put it in the little monk's hand: "Little master, this is more. Please burn two more sticks of incense for my young lady to worship the Buddha."
The little monk should take the silver and watch Meng Changyin leave. He muttered, "If you can see it clearly, you are blessed..."
Back at the Meng Mansion, I saw that he had been waiting at home for a long time. I could recognize him by looking at his back.
Meng Changyin trotted over to the man behind him and covered his eyes: "Brother Cao~"
Cao Lianghe turned around and gently raised his mouth. He arranged Meng Changyin's sideburns and took out a white jade ring hairpin from his sleeve and pinned it on her head.
"Meng Er, I'm here today to tell you the good news. I have done a good job and have been promoted to Zongren Mansion."
Long Yin, with a beaming face, whispered in Cao Lianghe's ear, "Today I promised Brother Cao a promotion, and it will come true just after I left the temple."
Cao Lianghe felt Changyin's head with a smile, and he liked it countless times.
Farewell to him and return to the mansion.
I thought I could ask my parents to find a matchmaker when the day came.
Unexpectedly... The blade of the three-year general election in the imperial palace will cut her head. It's just this year that my brother was promoted. There is someone in the imperial court, and the imperial palace must have someone to help her
She didn't need to enter the palace. She also has a sister, but she has been weak since childhood and has been in bed for many years. How can she enter the palace when she takes two steps and three steps? Big brother and sister have loved her since childhood. How can she let go.
Meng Changyin asked Cao Lianghe to have a talk at the riverside pavilion. They held hands tightly. She didn't want to enter the palace, and he didn't give up.
The imperial edict cannot be violated. All we can do is acquiesce in losing the election.
"If you choose Meng Er, I will never marry."
Changyin was shocked when she heard this. She didn't know how much Cao Lianghe loved her.
"Bah, Bah, Bah, what did Brother Cao say? I can't choose it because of my appearance."
Changyin is less beautiful than her sister at home, but her face is also pretty. At first glance, she was not amazing, but her eyes that can attract people were the most attractive. People would be better not to look at her. If we looked at her, we would feel trapped.
