Chapter 9 Fool
"Grandpa, you are too arrogant to me. You are so kind to me and I am not sick. Why do you have to pretend to be crazy?" Qin Mu said.
If the Mu family thinks that they were pretending to be crazy and stupid in the past, they would be broken. You should know that a doll who is only in his teens knows how to pretend to be crazy and stupid, and has deceived everyone. Such scheming is very scary. The Mu family will never let a person who is so scheming stay in the Mu family. After all, everyone knows that a person with such scheming is either an ambitious person or has an unspeakable purpose.
So Mr. Mu and Mr. Mu have to be careful. This is why Mr. Mu and Mr. Mu have been waiting for Qin Mu to have breakfast together early in the morning. If the matter is not clear, the people in the Mu family will not be at ease.
"Is this really the case? Then why are you not stupid all of a sudden? Not only are you not stupid, but you are also very talented."
Mr. Mu stared at Qin Mu and asked. This was also the question Mr. Mu wanted to know the most. If Qin Mu couldn't answer it or was vague, Mr. Mu would never let Qin Mu stay in Mu's mansion again, nor would he let his granddaughter marry him. Who knew what secret was hidden in his heart for a person who could pretend to be crazy for five or six years? Mr. Mu didn't want the whole Mu Mansion to take risks.
"Grandpa, Uncle San, have you ever heard of the epiphany?"
Qin Mu said, you should know that Qin Mu has been in a nightclub after all, and has been a "male ~ public relations" for more than a year. He has also practiced the ability to fool and has no ability to fool. He can't make it like a nightclub.
"Sudden enlightenment? Is it the sudden enlightenment mentioned in Buddhism?"
Mr. Mu believed in Buddhism and read many Buddhist scriptures. He knew that there was a saying of "sudden enlightenment". Legend has it that the Buddha Tathagata became the Buddha under the Bodhi tree.
"Yes, yes, yes, it is the sudden enlightenment mentioned in Buddhism. I was originally drowsy. Last night I listened to Yun Xi playing "Moonlight in the Lotus Pond". For some reason, I fell asleep. In my sleep, I leaned under a Bodhi tree. As soon as I woke up, my mind became clearer and my thinking became quicker." Qin Mu said.
Fortunately, this Qin Dynasty believed in Buddhism and there was a saying of "sudden enlightenment". When I took this "sudden enlightenment" as an example, Mr. Mu and Mr. Mu San could not find any reason to refute it. After all, this is recorded in Buddhist scriptures. "sudden enlightenment" actually exists, and there are many examples of "sudden enlightenment" by ancestors, and they all became immortals and Buddhas.
You should know that there are sayings of "gradual enlightenment" and "sudden enlightenment" in Buddhism. Gradually enlightenment means that the process of practice must be divided into many stages. Only by long-term accumulation can you understand the principles of the channel.
"Enlightenment" is not that troublesome. "Enlightenment" means that it is completed through inspiration, which in terms of time, is completed instantly.
The Buddhist saying "put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately" is a clear proof of "sudden enlightenment". Even a butcher who kills people can understand the principles of the world in an instant and puts the butcher's knife and becomes a Buddha.
In the Qin Dynasty, there was a family member Yu Xiao’s epiphany of "putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the ground".
It is said that a long time ago, there was a temple where the old monk and the little shaman lived. One day, the little shaman accidentally killed a toad. The old shaman said angrily: "If you kill, kill life, and you will be able to repay your sin of killing. You will go to the cliff in the back mountain and sacrifice yourself to repent, so that you can offset your sin of killing."
When the little novice monk heard this, he was both scared and sad, but he had to obey his master's words, so he had to walk to the edge of the cliff in the back mountain with tears in his eyes. Looking at the cliff in the abyss, he wanted to jump but he really had no courage. He sat alone on the edge of the cliff and was very sad.
A butcher happened to pass by this mountain road and heard the crying of the child. Following the crying sound, he saw the novice monk sitting on the edge of the cliff.
The butcher asked curiously: "Little Master, little Master, why do you cry?"
The little novice replied: "I accidentally killed a toad. The master asked me to jump off the cliff and commit suicide in order to atone for my sins."
When the butcher heard this, he thought that if he killed a toad, he would sacrifice his life to atone for his sins. I killed pigs every day. Over the past few years, I don’t know how many pigs have died under my knife. Thinking of the sins he committed, I couldn’t help but feel ashamed and repented.
So the butcher said to the little novice monk: "I am a butcher who kills pigs. Your sins are not as heavy as mine. I am the one who should jump off the cliff and commit suicide. Today I am willing to atone for you."
The butcher was determined to repent of his sins and ignored the cliff. When his body was about to fall to the bottom of the valley, a pure white lotus suddenly floated and supported him...
"It seems that my Buddha felt sorry for Yun Xi from our family, so that you have suddenly realized and become smarter."
Mr. Mu said that for people in such an era, as long as they join Buddha and gods, they will be more convinced. After all, for people in this era, anything incredible is the masterpiece of gods and Buddhas.
"Yes, it must be that the Buddha couldn't stand it. Yun Xi's smart and beautiful girl married a fool, so I had an epiphany so that Yun Xi and I could live happily together."
Qin Mu immediately followed and said, fortunately, this level was finally barely over. Regardless of whether the two old foxes of the Mu family really believed it or fake it, at least they wouldn't drive them away now. When they have the ability, they immediately buy a house and move out.
"Father, it seems that Yun Xi often goes to the temple to burn incense. The Buddhas saw that Yun Xi was so sincere and specially blessed Yun Xi."
Mu Shangye said that now he can only believe that it was the Buddha who gave him blessing, otherwise he would not be able to explain how this fool would have become smart all of a sudden.
"You are right, Qin Mu!" Old Master Mu said to Qin Mu.
"Grandpa, you tell me!"
Qin Mu immediately put down his chopsticks and said, but he cursed in his heart: "Are you still letting people eat breakfast? Your stomach is almost starving to death, and it's not over yet. Now he doesn't even have a mouthful of food."
"Tomorrow, you and Yun Xi go to Yunshan Temple to fulfill your wishes. Thank you Buddha for blessing you and Yun Xi." Mr. Mu said seriously. In this era, it is very serious to go to the temple to burn incense.
"If you want to get, I will take Yun Xi to burn incense and fulfill my wish tomorrow morning."
Qin Mu said, but he was thinking in his heart, "If Mr. Mu knew that his true grandson-in-law had been summoned to heaven by the Buddha, the grandson-in-law in front of him is fake, would he thank the Buddha for coming?"
"Remember to donate more money for sesame oil."
Mr. Mu said that the Buddhist scriptures record that Buddha also likes money, so rich people express their heart towards Buddha by donating more incense and oil.
"Grandpa, I don't have money!"
Qin Mu took the opportunity to say that there was no way that Qin Mu was not welcomed in Mu's mansion before. Apart from ensuring that he had no worries about food and clothing, he did not give him any pocket money.
When Mr. Mu talked about money, Qin Mu was not afraid of being embarrassed. He said directly that he had no money and wanted to take the opportunity to ask for more money. After all, no matter which world he was in, money was not omnipotent, but without money, it was absolutely impossible. Little did he know that a penny would stump a hero.
"Butler Wu, I'll get 100 taels of silver to Mr. Qin later." Mu Shangye said to Wu San, the butler standing next to him.
"Yes, Master Third."
Wu San looked at Qin Mu and said, it seemed that the status of Mr. Qin, who was unpopular in the Mu family, had risen, and he would also be careful to serve him in the future.
"Well, Uncle San, you see that I have been in the Mu family for so long and will soon marry Yun Xi. As a man who is about to get married, I am not good-looking if I have no money around me. I will also embarrass our Mu family when I go out, right? If it is reported that the son-in-law of the Mu family doesn't even have money for dinner, the people outside may even say that our Mu family came from, you said yes."
Qin Mu only gave him one hundred taels of silver when he heard this. This was the money for the temple's indulgent oil. He had nothing to do with him. He said unhappily that he was not the fool he used to be. He made it so easy for you to bully him. If you want to send him this way, there is no way.
There are monthly rules in the Mu Mansion from the master and slaves. My dignified elder brother-in-law has been in the Mu Mansion for five years and has no monthly money. I just forgot that fool before, but now I have possessed myself and don’t suffer this loss. Today, I have to take this monthly rules, otherwise how can I go out and pick up girls if I don’t have money in the future.
The old saying goes, "A good person is bullied, and a wife is bullied." Oh, no, it is "A good person is bullied, and a horse is bullied." If they don't ask them for this monthly routine, they really think that their son-in-law is easy to bully, and how can they gain a foothold in the Mu family in the future?
"Butler Wu, I will be able to pay 100 taels of monthly payment every month in the future."
The third master Mu Shangye said with a wry smile that this foolish son-in-law has become too powerful. This makes his family feel sorry for him. If he doesn't give him monthly payment, he is going to promote everywhere that the Mu family has treated him badly.
"Yes, Master Third."
Wu San said that now Wu San has also seen the power of this uncle Qin, who is not stupid, and the housekeeper Wu decided to be careful when dealing with this uncle Qin, and he should not offend him. "I would rather offend a gentleman than offend a villain." In Wu San's eyes, this uncle Qin is a villain that my brother can't afford to offend him.
