Chapter 145
·Distribution Room
The courtyard left alone for Mrs. Zhang is not spacious. It only has six rooms, and the area is not too large. Some houses can only have one bed, which looks very simple. Mrs. Zhang is afraid that Huang will not get used to it, so she explained, "Their monks have pure six senses and don't care much about these things outside the body, so the furnishings cannot be compared with the home. You can only make the money."
Huang smiled and said, "We are here to worship Buddha, but we are not enjoying happiness. Isn't it the same wherever we live? I'm thinking about how to divide this room?"
There were twelve or three people in their ranks, and six rooms were not enough to be seen.
Huang was hesitating whether to invite Mrs. Zhang to say hello to Master Huici, and it would be better to arrange a few rooms. Unexpectedly, before she could speak, Mrs. Zhang sighed and said, "There is no way. The total area of Fajing Temple is so big. It is already a huge face to be able to free up these rooms. I can only feel sorry for these people to squeeze in."
After hearing this, Huang was a little glad that he hadn't said anything just now, otherwise it would only make Mrs. Zhang stuck in the middle and difficult to deal with.
She discussed the matter of dividing the house with Mrs. Zhang.
It happened that Dong Yuli and Tang Xueping were waiting for them at the gate of the courtyard. Seeing the two of them coming back together, they came to greet them with a smile. When they learned that Huang was worried about dividing the room, Dong Yuli smiled and said, "What's the problem? My aunt and grandmother live in one room, my aunt and Xueping live in one room, Mrs. Zhang live in one room, Rongxuan and Xueru live in one room, and my mother and I live in one room, and the rest of Madam Li, Mama Cui, Mama Wu and Mother Zhang live in one room. This is the temple. The incense shed in Hanshan Temple in Suzhou is smaller than this. There are some rooms without beds, so everyone can only sleep on the ground. People who come here sincerely worship Buddha. When Master Bodhidharma worked ascetic thousands of miles before he passed on Buddhism to the Central Plains. Compared with the ancients, what is our hard work?"
Seeing that she spoke clearly, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but say "Oh," "Miss Cousin is so old, she can see so clearly. I'm not old enough to live a little longer. I've been talking about worshiping Buddha and enlightenment all day long, but you can't understand it."
Dong Yuli smiled embarrassedly, "I can't see it thoroughly. It's not that I've followed my grandmother to the temple more often. I heard those old monks keep these words all day long, and I listened to it. This is learning and selling, and showing off to you."
Mrs. Zhang wanted to say again, and Mrs. Huang had already pulled her to discuss the matter of dividing the room. Mrs. Zhang said, "Miss Cousin has made it clear, so we will do it."
Seeing that she said this, Huang followed what Dong Yulu said. Huang took Mrs. Zhang to Mrs. Tang's room. Mrs. Tang was talking with Mrs. Tang, and when she saw the two of them coming in, she stopped talking. Mrs. Tang asked with concern, "Brother Fu is gone?"
"Yes, there is nothing wrong here, so I'll let him go back. After all, it's the Nizhong Temple, and it's not convenient for him to come in and out here, a young man." Huang replied briskly, and reported the matter of the division of the house to Mrs. Tang.
When Mrs. Tang heard that it was arranged by Dong Yulu, she nodded without saying anything.
Tang said uneasyly, "Why do I go and squeeze in with Rongxuan? I will always get up at night if I don't sleep well at night, for fear that you will not sleep well."
Mrs. Tang said, "Don't worry, I'm old and I'm light at night, and I've gotten more times than you. Just stay with me for two nights. Calculate carefully. This is the first time you've been sleeping with me since you were a child. We mother and mother take care of each other, so don't dislike each other."
Tang didn't want to disappoint her mother, so she agreed with a smile.
Mrs. Zhang asked curiously, "Miss Cousin is older than Xueping? Are you engaged? I see that she speaks and does things very well and has a great style. She is not worthy of ordinary small families."
He looked like he wanted to talk to Dong Yulu about his marriage.
Mrs. Zhang is not an outsider, and she is also enthusiastic. The Zhang family and the Tang family are in Hangzhou, so they must walk around from time to time. Mrs. Tang didn't want the two families to have a slight rift. She didn't hide it when she heard the sound and replied in a low voice, "Yu Li came here to talk to me this time, saying that her grandmother had already looked at her, so she was waiting for the gift to set the day."
Huang heard about this, but Tang was completely unaware of it. She asked curiously than Mrs. Zhang, "Mom, which Yulu is the one who decides?"
Mrs. Tang smiled and said, "I heard it is the Qiu family in Tianjin."
Mrs. Zhang opened her mouth wide in surprise when she heard the sound, "Qiu... Qiu family?"
Although Mrs. Zhang doesn't go out very much on weekdays, the Qiu family in Tianjin has heard of it. She didn't come to her senses for a long time, and the second half of the sentence was choked in her throat and could not say it.
But Tang frowned thoughtfully.
Seeing this, Mrs. Tang asked, "What's wrong with you? Is there anything wrong with it?"
Tang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "A daughter from the Bai family's outer room married to the Qiu family, have you forgotten?"
After her reminder, Mrs. Tang suddenly remembered this incident. I heard that Mr. Bai wanted to marry her daughter, but unfortunately, the Qiu family felt that Mr. Bai's only daughter was spoiled, domineering and unlucky, but she did not like her. Instead, she took the lady in the outer room and made Mr. Bai very angry. At that time, Mr. Tang had already married into the Bai family and attended the wedding with Bai Yuanpei. Because she felt that she had no face and did not take the outer room seriously, she found a reason not to attend. Seeing this, the guests at the wedding said everything. Bai Yuanpei felt that his father was narrow-minded and angry. If Tang had not been comforting her softly on the way home, he would have had a big fight with his father when he returned home.
Mrs. Tang smiled slightly, "There is such a thing. It's been so long. My memory is getting worse year by year. I can't remember anything around me. I often ask your sister-in-law and Madam Li to remind you, and I will forget other things even more." As she said that, she changed the topic, "Mrs. Zhang, I heard that the vegetarian food in Fajing Temple is very famous. I'm sorry for your arrangements and let us know more."
Mrs. Zhang knew that Mrs. Tang didn't want to mention the Bai family, and was afraid of causing Tang to be sad. She followed her words, "This is for sure. I will ask Mr. Huici in a while and promise to let you eat your mouth tonight."
"Okay, I'll wait with peace of mind." Old Mrs. Tang smiled happily.
Tang cheered up and tried hard not to think about the past. She sat aside with a smile, but her thoughts were no longer floating where they were floating.
Several mothers who were following were busy making beds and cleaning. After hearing the news, Zhang Yunniang ran over and whispered to Mrs. Zhang. After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang asked with a smile, "Do you want to live with Rongxuan and Xueru? Can you squeeze in that room with three of you?"
"Okay!" Zhang Yunniang nodded quickly, stared at Mrs. Zhang's decision with wide eyes.
Seeing his daughter looking expectant, Mrs. Zhang had to agree, "Okay, but you can't go too late, you have to go to bed early. Moreover, the house here is not big and is not soundproof at all. Don't let you chatter and make us unable to sleep well afterwards."
"No, we will be quiet." Zhang Yunniang is a honest person. When she says this, isn't it a disguised way to explain that the three of them need to talk at night?
Mrs. Zhang sighed helplessly.
Zhang Yunniang happily saluted several elders and ran out happily.
Mrs. Zhang looked at her daughter's cheerful appearance, and the smile on her face was as warm as the sunlight outside the window. She was also happy, feeling that her daughter has become much more extroverted recently, and her voice became louder. She couldn't help but sigh, "Look, I forgot my mother when I have a partner, and I actually threw myself out. It's better for your girl Rongxuan. Since I met her, our Yunniang has become much more cheerful."
Mrs. Tang smiled with Youheng, "This little girl who is not married has to play together. There are too few children in your family. Zili and Yunniang are a few years apart, and they are different from each other. Yunniang grew up alone since she was a child, and her personality is inevitably shy. You often bring her to the house to sit in the future, so that their sisters can have more contact and contact. In the future, even if they get married, they can take care of each other. Which of us old people can accompany them for the rest of our lives."
Mrs. Zhang thought so too, and nodded seriously when she heard the sound.
