Chapter 532 Substitution
Chapter 532 ·Swap people
Mrs. Ding speaks frankly and laughs before she speaks to others. She looks so kind that she can't help but knows that Mrs. Zhang doesn't need to say that she is a very easy-to-talk person.
After hearing that the old lady in front of her was Mrs. Zhang's in-laws, she quickly gave a gift and said politely, "I have wanted to visit you for a long time. But first, I have too many chores at home and can't get rid of it. Secondly, I am afraid that I will come to the door so recklessly, which will make my family uncomfortable, and drag it all the way to today. What does Mrs. Zhang and I have to say anything, and if you have any instructions in the future, just come to me. If you don't have any porcelain at home, I will send you a message to you. I will give you the best filial piety to you."
My mouth feels like I have been smearing honey, which is very likable.
Mrs. Ding moved her family from Jingdezhen, Jiangxi to settle down in Hangzhou in the past two years. She was familiar with Mrs. Zhang when she was listening to scriptures in the temple. The two of them fell in love with each other and seemed like old friends who had been reunited after a long time. When Zhang Zili got married, Mrs. Ding gave her two sets of high-quality bone porcelain tableware in addition to gifts of gold. The workmanship was exquisite and delicate, which was the craftsmanship of the older generation of craftsmen in the past, but now she may not be able to buy it for money. Mrs. Zhang was extremely grateful and became closer to Mrs. Ding.
However, Mrs. Tang has had poor legs and feet recently, and she doesn't go out much and doesn't go out much. The old sisters of the past have stopped coming and going, let alone coming to the temple to listen to scriptures. Mrs. Tang is also a master who is not good at dealing with people without going out of the door, so neither of them knows Mrs. Ding.
But seeing her witty words and looking kind and respectful on her face, Mrs. Tang immediately replied, "Mrs. Ding is now out of the way. She is all from the villagers. When she is free, she will come to the house to sit and talk to me. My children have to work hard, and I don't have any interest in it. You will be a companion with me when you come. There is nothing else at home, but I have enough tea. No matter what tea you want to drink, I can always find a way for you to find it."
Seeing that Mrs. Tang was so kind and talked, the smile on her face became deeper, "This is great. I don't have any other hobbies, so I like to drink tea. But I can't make a fuss. I happen to have a tea set in my home that used to burn paper in the official kiln, which is also painted with blessings, wealth, longevity, and wealth. The meaning is just right. You will definitely like it when you see it. When I come to the door, I will take it to you with filial piety. I don't have to be polite to you when drinking tea."
"We shouldn't have been polite." Mrs. Tang said, "It's good that you can come, what else can you get?"
Mrs. Ding said, "The first time I've dealt with you, how can I come to the door empty-handed? You are generous and feel sorry for me, but in the eyes of outsiders, you may even arrange me! Just let me be a sensible junior and avoid being poked at the back of others!"
Mrs. Tang liked her cheerfulness very much and said with a smile, "You have said everything about this child, and I don't know what to say."
Mrs. Ding said, "You don't need to say anything, just get along with me in the future. I'm a newcomer and don't even have a relative in Hangzhou. On weekdays, except for Mrs. Zhang who can walk around, I can only stay at home and watch the sky in a daze. If you always feel sorry for me, I can walk around multiple elders in the future, and there is also someone to discuss anything when encountering something."
Even Bai Rongxuan had to admire her eloquence for being able to say polite words so beautifully.
Mrs. Tang said, "Just come, I like to meddle in other people's business the most."
As the two were talking, a young novice monk walked in. Mrs. Ding hurriedly said, "Maybe we are going to preach, so everyone should sit down."
As he said that, he took Mrs. Tang's hand and sat down on the cushion beside him. The few people who were originally surrounded by Mrs. Ding immediately dispersed and took the initiative to give up. Mrs. Zhang immediately said, "Oh, you are still smart. You are actually looking for someone to take a seat. Why didn't I expect it?"
Mrs. Ding said, "What day is today? Zen Master Zhengding has a rare opportunity. How many people are waiting for it. If they don't make plans early, they will be squeezed outside the mountain gate now."
"How could you say you are smart?" Mrs. Zhang said admiringly, "Depending on smart people is convenient. If someone else changes me, I will not be able to find a place to cry now."
After everyone talked for a while, the little shaman said loudly, "Dear donors, please be quiet. The person who preaches to you today is Zen Master Guangli from Ben Temple. Please be calm and don't be impatient. The preaching meeting is about to begin."
When everyone heard this, they were stunned.
Zen Master Guangli is the great disciple of Zhengding, and he is even older than Zhengding. He is honest and honest, but he is also a bit dull. Although Buddhism is good, it is still incomparable to Zhengding.
Immediately someone asked, "Why did I suddenly change to Guangli? Didn't you say that Zen Master Zhengding preaches before?"
"Yes, yes, I got up for Zhengding and rushed to the far side early. If I had known that I would have changed people, I would not have come."
Xiao Sha Mi said, "Zen Master Zhengding has a distinguished guest visiting today, so it is not convenient to come out to preach, so Zen Master Guangli can only preach to everyone."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's dissatisfaction became stronger and stronger.
"What is this? Monks are all empty in all four elements. When will they care about whether they are not a distinguished guest? He is a distinguished guest. Are we just a charlatan?"
Bai Rongxuan also felt that this little novice monk was too ignorant, and it was too cripple for Jingci Temple to send him out to directors.
Everyone became more and more dissatisfied. They said one by one, and their voices were rising and one by one, and they were about to lift the room to open the building.
The little shaking his head and waved his hand with a red face, "No...I'm not...I don't mean that..."
"Let Zen Master Zhengding come out, I will ask him in person!"
"Yes! Let Zhengding come out!"
The little novice monk was panicked for a moment and didn't know what to do.
Mrs. Zhang also said to Mrs. Tang for no reason, "It's clear that it's Zen Master Zhengding, why did you change someone temporarily?"
Mrs. Tang was extremely calm, "Maybe it was delayed because of something. Although monks don't care about foreign affairs, the monks in the temple have a mouth and everyone has to eat. As the abbot, Zen Master Zhengding has to take care of the belly of so many people. How can he not deal with the visitor? I guess he is either rich or noble, and he can't afford to offend him? Anyway, he is here, and it's the same for everyone to preach. The most important thing in front of the Bodhisattva is sincerity. You can't make a noise just because you change someone. If the Bodhisattva knows, he will blame him. If you can't pray for blessings, you will be disliked by the Bodhisattva. Let's listen to Zen Master Guangli with peace of mind."
Her voice was not loud or small, but the people around her could hear it clearly. Some old people thought she was very reasonable and couldn't help but take a few more glances, and the scene fell silent for a moment.
