Chapter 655 Prayer (Thanks to Alliance Leader Xiaofeng Lian Canyue
After a while, the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother came back.
Shu Shu and Shi Fujin's walk also ended, and each followed her husband into the yard.
The guest courtyard of Hongluo Temple is spacious, so everyone does not need to crowd into one courtyard. Several people occupy several courtyards.
In addition to their own, there is also a courtyard for the guards.
As for the guard troops, if there were too many, they were placed in another place.
Brother Ninth wiped his face and said: "The old monk is really good at deceiving people. He even fooled Old Ten and nodded and agreed to give up eight hundred taels of oil money..."
"What did you say?"
Shu Shu asked curiously.
In her opinion, it was possible that the ninth elder brother had been deceived, but the tenth elder brother was a very thoughtful person.
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said: "It seems like something like 'If one's self-nature is confused, the Buddha is all living beings; if one's self-nature is enlightened, all living beings are the Buddha'..."
Shu Shu thought about these words and found them to be quite meaningful. Isn't this "seeing one's nature and becoming a Buddha"?
Does the Tenth Prince have Buddha nature?
Then she thought of where she was now, the Royal Temple.
I am afraid that whatever the princes say or do when they come in will be reported directly to the emperor.
It’s hard to say whether Brother Ten has Buddha-nature, but it’s true that he wants to show that he has Buddha-nature.
Shu Shu understood in her heart, but said: "It's okay, I'm here to pay homage to the Buddha anyway. If you are willing, let's give up more..."
After hearing this, Brother Jiu hesitated and said: "Hey, what do you mean by this? If I give too little, I am still worried about what if Bodhisattva and Buddha don't work; but what if I give too much?
Like buying a child?"
Shu Shu couldn't help laughing when she heard this.
Can it still be calculated like this?
The truth is a little crooked, but it seems to be relevant...
Brother Jiu looked at Shu Shu, his eyes burning like a thief, and said: "I feel that I am at a loss because it is all because of my efforts. What does it have to do with Buddha?! If you give up money, give it to Fujin too!"
Shu Shu pinched his waist and said, "Don't talk nonsense here!"
Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "I told the truth, and I didn't lie!"
Shu Shu snorted softly and said: "If I feel that I am at a loss, then I will work hard and give birth to a little brother later and call me Ama?"
After hearing this, Brother Jiu quickly lowered his head, glanced at his belly, and said, "I can't do Eni even if I want to, right?"
Shu Shu teased him: "Who knows, what if..."
Brother Jiu had a look of fear on his face and hurriedly waved his hands: "Forget it, I don't want to be a monster!"
Shu Shu recalled what San Fujin had said to Shi Fujin the day before yesterday, and with a little curiosity, she asked in a low voice: "Well, are the two or three things about the prince and the young eunuch true or false?"
Brother Jiu looked at her and said, "Why do you think of asking this?"
Shu Shu said what San Fujin said.
Brother Jiu frowned and said, "What's wrong with San Fujin? Are you looking for trouble?"
If you can't manage your own family affairs well, why should you worry about other people's families?
What do you need so many gems for?
Isn’t the cost of food and clothing money?
You also need to support those who serve.
Just like the current two houses, the ones in the backyard are all for free time, which is a loss even if you think about it.
Others had to work for their monthly salary, but they, the six masters and servants, had nothing to do.
Shu Shu asked: "Is there a shadow? Have you heard of it?"
Brother Jiu glanced at him and said: "Young eunuch, I can't say that it's hard to say. The year before last, Khan Ama ordered the disposal of several haha beads of the prince, and only one survived, while the other three were directly executed..."
Shu Shu was stunned after hearing this.
She was very surprised.
Do you still think that the conflict between Kangxi and the prince will happen in a few years, and there are signs of it before?
It’s easy to lose someone’s life?!
Brother Jiu held her hand and said, "Are you scared? Don't worry, Xiaoliu is fine. The prince is different after all..."
"What's the crime?" Shu Shu asked.
Brother Jiu thought about it carefully and said: "It seems that he didn't say anything specific, it just said that 'walking in the prince's house in private is really disobedient'..."
At this point, he felt that something was wrong, and said: "There must be something else going on here, otherwise, it would not be related to disobedience..."
Those people were the prince's people, including the ministers' sons, the coat guards, and the young eunuchs.
But they all have a unified name, "Haha beads".
Since he is an old man in the East Palace, he also held a position in the East Palace before, so the terms "waiter master" and "diner master" cannot be related to disobedience.
"One of the ministers' sons is fine. His Ama is the forward commander of the Zhengbai Banner. He also has an uncle, Qi Shiwu..."
Brother Ninth said.
This Qi Shiwu was also a member of the Tong family and had previously served as Shanxi's chief envoy.
Brother Jiu mentioned to Shu Shu once that Ma Qi went to Shanxi at the end of May to discuss the case of mutual criticism between the governor of Shanxi and the chief envoy of Shanxi.
Shu Shu felt slightly relieved after hearing this.
This noble background is also a protective umbrella.
For example, the four close relatives of the prince, Bao Yi and the young eunuch were directly executed, but the noble son was simply removed and handed over to the care of his family.
However, this unclear punishment is indeed very imaginative.
Brother Jiu said: "Do you have a grudge? Do you want to see Yuqing Palace's jokes?"
My wife has always been generous, but she pays more attention to Yuqing Palace.
Shu Shu shook her head and said: "No, I'm just curious. I heard that some of the Eight Banners are also good at acting."
Today's actors don't have male actors, they are all male actors.
It is not without reason that actors are classified as "lower class".
If you are talking about supporting an actor, there is something unspeakable about it.
Brother Jiu said disgustedly: "Everyone is just full and idle, and they don't follow the right path..."
The couple chatted for a long time and then stopped.
Buddhism is a pure place, and it is not easy to be a mess, so the two of them also had a pure sleep.
But before going to bed, Shu Shu thought of the bamboo clumps outside and said, "Can I ask the abbot later to transplant some bamboo clumps to our house? The garden over there is still empty..."
Brother Jiu said: "What's the matter? Isn't it just a matter of words? Tomorrow I will tell the old monk..."

Have a good night's sleep.
Early the next morning, the couple got up early.
It was still the vegetarian meal sent by the temple kitchen, a bowl of white porridge with four side dishes.
Fried tofu, fungus and rapeseed, steamed gluten, and roasted radish in soy sauce.
Brother Jiu said: "This gluten is well made. It has a meaty taste and can satisfy your cravings!"
Shu Shu smiled and said: "My brothers and sisters have been crying for two days after eating vegetarian food."
Brother Jiu whispered: "You should send me to the temple to stay for two or three months to lose weight..."
Shu Shu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Why am I like this? If others find fault with me behind my back, would I be happy?"
Brother Jiu was surprised and said: "There are still people who would find fault with you? How to pick? Is there anything wrong with you? Isn't that just telling lies?"
Shu Shu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "Anyway, don't say that in the future. It won't be good if you bring it out in front of your tenth brother once you're used to it."
Brother Ninth nodded reluctantly and said, "Old Ten also has numb eyes!"
Shu Shu couldn't help it, so she pinched his waist and said, "Master Xing, 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder', how come you are so numb when you reach the tenth brother?"
Brother Jiu grabbed her hand and said, "Why do you praise others? Being too humble is cheating. You are so dishonest!"
Shu Shu really wanted to gag Jiu Age, so she did the same and took out a plum from the fruit plate and stuffed it into his mouth.
Brother Jiu was stunned for a moment, then took the plum from his mouth and said with a smile: "This is 'Shu Shu'. Shu Shu stuffed 'Shu Shu' into my mouth..."
It turned out to be a purple plum.
They also wanted to worship Buddha. The couple dressed neatly and left the guest house.
At the entrance of the guest house, Shi Fujin and Shi Age were already there.
The two of them were talking around the bamboo.
"Bamboo shoots are delicious. Does this bamboo grow bamboo shoots?"
Shifujin asked.
Brother Ten said: "It should be long, but I don't know if it tastes good or not. The bamboo here should not be the same variety as the bamboo we saw in the south."
Shi Fujin nodded and said: "I can see it. The bamboos here are thin and not as thick as those in the south. They probably also have small bamboo shoots..."
When they heard the noise and saw Shu Shu and Brother Jiu coming out, the couple stopped talking.
Shi Fujin came over, held hands with Shu Shu, and said, "Sister-in-law Jiu, the steamed gluten in the morning is also delicious. Can we make this ourselves?"
Shu Shu nodded and said: "If you can do it, then you can send someone over to our kitchen to learn."
"Uh-huh!"
Shifujin nodded happily and said, "When the time comes, I'll put meat fillings in it. It will definitely taste better if it's steamed."
Hearing what she said, Shu Shu was also greedy.
In later generations, there really was this stuffed gluten recipe.
Brother Jiu couldn't listen anymore and said: "Don't talk about meat anymore, otherwise you will lose your taboo these days!"
Commit oral karma.
Shifu Jin immediately became obedient and shut his mouth and stopped talking.
Shu Shu rolled her eyes at Brother Jiu and squeezed Shi Fujin's little hand to express comfort.
The ninth elder brother looked at the tenth elder brother coquettishly and said: "Old ten, you are right, don't mention this again..."
Brother Ten nodded and said: "Yes, I will worship Buddha immediately. It is not good to think about these things. Think more about other things."
Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and said: "Then let's have a little brother first. In two years, he will be sensible and will be a big brother. Then I want a little princess..."
The tenth elder brother glanced at the ninth elder brother, hoping that his brother and sister-in-law's wishes would come true.
If you can't get what you want, then you have to use your own strength.
I beg the two younger brothers to help me!
It’s still very early because I have to burn morning incense.
At the beginning of Cai Chen.
In order to prevent people from colliding with each other, the gate of the temple was not opened.
Shu Shu and his party went to the main hall, knelt down and prayed.
At the entrance of the main hall is a copper incense burner five feet high and six feet in diameter.
The monk who knew the guest had already prepared the incense.
This tall incense is five feet five inches tall and takes four hours to burn completely.
At this moment, Shu Shu felt that she was pious.
Pray to the Buddha to bless you and help you get pregnant smoothly.
Then she gave birth to a little brother safely and completed the great cause of having a child.
In that case, I would come here to fulfill my wish and gild the Buddha's body.
Brother Jiu also had a rare serious expression on his face, and he silently prayed to the Buddha in his heart.
But when it came to "begging for a son" and praying for health and longevity for himself and his wife, he hesitated.
Finally decided to ask for a few more.
If you only want a son, what if the son is not filial?
It is common for parents to be loving, but it is also common for children and grandchildren to be unfilial.
It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on anyone...
