Could it be predetermined

The weight is not warm enough, I often shiver in the middle of the night, and often shake until my back hurts in the morning.

Every morning at four o'clock in the morning, I heard the sound of the two masters leaving the door unshakably. Guan Ju admired the willpower of the monks from the bottom of his heart. Not to mention that he would sleep more in winter, even if he woke up, he would leave the bed when the temperature was the lowest in the early morning , that is simply torture.

Guan Ju, who claims to need to hibernate, no longer wakes up so early. It is not difficult to get up at 05:30 in summer, but when the alarm clock rings at 06:30 in winter, Guan Ju still feels unable to open his eyes.For this reason, she told her grandma, don't be busy when she gets up, just let her work go, and she will do it when she gets up.

It's been almost two weeks since I separated from Leng Qingqiu last time. During these two weeks, their relationship has grown by leaps and bounds. Of course, this is just Guan Ju's personal thoughts.During the day, besides going to work and busy in the temple, Guan Ju would send a message to Leng Qingqiu when he saw novelty or things he didn’t understand on the island, and Leng Qingqiu might have a soft mouth for eating people, so he would often reply to Guan Ju. .

During this period, Guan Ju also filled Leng Qingqiu's refrigerator with some fresh stock. Afterwards, he would also describe the processing and cooking methods in detail, and later even euphemistically called it: This is "the elder sister's love for the younger sister".

At the beginning, Leng Qingqiu would politely refuse. After a few times, she felt that the ingredients Guan Ju bought were really fresh. Using the cooking method she gave, the taste of the cooking was also very suitable for her own requirements. Unknowingly, her mouth She was adopted by her.Even his attitude towards Guan Ju has become warm, and occasionally he will post pictures to ask for praise after cooking.

In the online world, Guan Ju and Leng Qingqiu get along very harmoniously.

At the end of November in the lunar calendar, there is still a little more than a month before the New Year closes.Many fishermen on the island have returned from the ocean. They often go out for several months, and they will come back early at the end of the year, unlike the migrant workers who are busy until the [-]th.

With the increase of local people, the incense in the temple is also flourishing. This is the place where fishermen must come after returning home. Thank the gods for their blessings this year, and pray for good health in the coming year.

At this time, there will be more Buddhist activities. In addition to praying for blessings, there are also offering food to ancestors.

That day Guan Ju was stopped by Zheng Da when he was going to work in the shipyard as usual.

"Xiaoguan, you leave work early today, and you will be back before 05:30." Normally, he leaves work at 05:30, and it is almost six o'clock when Guan Ju returns to the temple.

"What's the matter today?"

“Just come back sooner”

Chapter 28

Chapter 29

Guan's father and Guan's mother are both elderly people. They love watching operas. Half of the CDs at home are Gaojia Opera, Huangmei Opera, and Gezai Opera. Under the influence of such an environment, Guan Ju has been humming along since he was a child, and many of them are familiar She knows all kinds of repertoires, such as "The Match of the Immortals", "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl", "The Son-in-Law" in the Huangmei Opera, "Di Qing Takes the Flag", "Xue Dingshan and Fan Lihua" in the Gezai Opera, etc. Guan Ju likes these very much, and Tracks I watched and watched again and again.

When she was immersed in writing, there was a melody coming from outside the window. Guan Ju couldn’t be more familiar with it. It was "The Female Concubine" in Huangmei Opera. It has been modified on the basis of it, and the modified melody sounds more pleasing to the ear. After adding the accompaniment of some unknown musical instruments, the sound is elegant, melodious, and full of ears. Guan Ju can't help but listen to it. Out of the room with singing.

As soon as he left the room, the cold wind was biting his bones, Guan Ju couldn't help shrinking his neck. In the past, the little master meditated in the Guanyin Hall, and the master also chanted sutras in the room, and the rooms in the Guanyin Hall were all lit.Today, there is only Guan Ju alone. After dinner, he went back to his room and did not turn on the porch light. As soon as he went out, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and everything was silent. The oppressive feeling coming from her made her unable to help but turn her head frequently to make sure that no one was following her.

I came to the end of the corridor in fear. Through the kitchen window, I could vaguely see the main hall. In the courtyard outside the main hall, the lights were brightly lit, but there was no one there. I think the masters were chanting in the hall. Ju didn't feel afraid anymore.When I approached, there was only the sound of the masters chanting sutras, and the melody just now was completely inaudible.

Guan Ju wondered if he was hallucinating, and when he was about to walk back, a drum sounded, thick and powerful, piercing through the wall and piercing his ears.Then came the big chime and the lead chime. Hold the big chime and the lead chime, the bell and the drum beat together, the big chime and the engine beat together, the heavy drum and the light drum...

The melody of Huangmei Opera sounded again, this time Guan Ju was sure that the sound came from the main hall, followed the melody to the outside of the main hall, it was the masters who were singing, hiding beside a pillar outside the main hall, Guan Ju stretched out his ears and listened carefully Listen carefully.

Ming Xin was in front of the long table, picked up the foot ruler and slapped it on the table, the aura was like Bao Zheng's trial of prisoners in Kaifeng mansion, it shocked people's hearts, and Guan Ju, who was unprepared, was shocked.

Mingxin asked the ruler six times to teach, everyone was silent, only Mingxin recited the mantra alone, and Guan Ju couldn't understand a single word. Could it be that this is the secret language between the master and the spirits?

Another slap on the table with the ruler, everyone stood up and stood still, and sang together. This time the melody was not Huangmei Opera, but it was still pleasant to hear. It was not like opera or popular music, but it was a bit like old people's rap and dialect. Guan Ju still couldn't understand the chanting of the scriptures, but he could only vaguely hear: 48 Wishing to save all living beings, the Nine Grades of Salty Order to reach the other shore...

After a rap similar to that of an old man, in front of the cloud drum on the left side of the Buddha statue, Grandma waved a wooden stick and knocked on the cloud drum, followed by Ming Xin, who rang the big chime with a veena. After the serious prelude, the melody of Huangmei Opera sounded cheerfully...

Guan Ju was overjoyed as soon as she heard it. Why did she start singing while doing Buddhist work? She moved to the front of the pillar to try to hear it clearly. What kind of courtiers of the country, Jingwei and the times, wooded the people, failed to be loyal, fell out of favor and worried, relegated to the border lands, loved the country and wandered, came to feel the nectar...

At this moment, Guan Ju's heart is surging, her blood is boiling, her whole body feels like a chicken blood. She doesn't understand how a Huangmei tune can be sung with an impassioned feeling. Just the lyrics give her a sense of arrogance and high-spirited agitation.She couldn't wait to know what scriptures the masters were chanting, but the masters had handed over the sutras and could not be disturbed, so she sat on the ground and listened to the sutras the masters recited outside the main hall.

After sitting until ten o'clock, the grandma gave a loud drum, the master and the laymen paid homage to each other, and then they left the main hall. Guan Ju hurriedly stood up and stood aside. Then he went out of the mountain gate with some side dishes.Mingxin and Zhengda were talking to a few laymen in the hall, and Guan Ju walked in.

It turned out that among the lay Buddhists who chanted the scriptures, there were a few who were about the same age as grandma, and they were all in their [-]s. They could not walk as fast as young aunts. Let the young ones walk slowly and escort them.

"Master, I'll give it to you, the car is fast," Guan Jumao recommended himself, owning a car is just a matter of kicking the accelerator, not to mention it's past ten o'clock, and it's really worrying to let these old ladies go on mountain roads.

Several people looked at Guan Ju at the same time, Ming Xin looked worried, she was not very relieved to let Guan Ju go down the mountain alone at such a late hour, and beside her, Auntie Sweeping who once gave Guan Ju a look of disbelief was also on her face.

"It's okay, I'm not sleepy anyway."

"That's it, I'll go to the room to get the car keys." He said and walked out without waiting for everyone's answer.

When Guan Ju came back with the key, he passed the kitchen and saw the sweeping aunt standing by the dining table, as if waiting for her.

"Take this with you," the aunt said, and handed Guan Ju the thing wrapped in a towel.

"what is this"

Guan Ju took it and lifted the towel to see a shiny kitchen knife.

"What... what is this for?" Guan Ju stammered and asked, he just wanted to send them down the mountain, so why not bring a kitchen knife.

"Just take it with you. I just did something tonight, and all the ghosts and ghosts came out. If you have this on your body, you won't be afraid that they will come close." Auntie pressed Guan Ju's hand up and down, her serious tone made Guan Ju unable to say any doubts. , had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"Auntie...what do I call you?"

"They all call me Alu," the aunt replied as she walked.

"Aunt Lu, you can take the car together and show me the way"

The mandarin of the aunt is quite standard, much higher than that of the little master. None of the grandmothers can speak mandarin, and Guan Ju is afraid that there will be no way to send it home.

At the entrance of the main hall, the four older grandmas were already waiting here. Some of the other aunts went back, and some were still helping to finish the work.

"Xiao Guan, drive slowly, and come back as soon as the delivery is over," Ming Xin said worriedly.

"Don't worry, master." Guan Ju didn't care.

"Grandma, let's go," Guan Ju reached out to pick up the bag in the hands of one of the oldest grandmas.

Putting the bags of the grandmothers in the trunk will not take up space. The four grandmothers are all thin and small, and the back seat is not crowded when they sit together. Aunt Lu is in the co-pilot to guide Guan Ju.After Guan Ju fastened her seat belt, she saw two masters standing at the gate of the temple looking at her

"It's okay, master, I'll be back soon." Guan Ju lowered the car window and shouted to the two masters.

The four grandmas were sitting in the back chattering, as if they were very happy. When they reached the mountainside, they met groups of aunts, talking and laughing.

The grandma in the back seat was in a commotion

"Grandma wants to open the window," Aunt Lu took the initiative to translate.

Guan Ju operated from the front and lowered the window halfway. Grandma happily waved to the aunts outside. From the rearview mirror, you can see that they are all in a happy mood. They really look like children. Guan Ju Ju couldn't help laughing too.

There was a grandma whose house was at the foot of the mountain. Guan Ju got out of the car, went to the back seat and helped the grandma down, then went to the trunk to help her get the bag, and did not go to the next house until it was delivered to the house.

The other three live in relatively scattered places, all in various alleys. Fortunately, Ah Lu is by the side to guide the way, otherwise Guan Ju would really not be able to understand what the grandmothers said by himself.

Finally, I sent Aunt Lu home, and it was almost 10:30. After Aunt Lu got off the car, Guan Ju was ready to go back.

"Xiao Guan, be careful when driving," Ah Lu said worriedly.

"Don't worry, Aunt Lu, go in and rest quickly, I'm leaving," Guan Ju said with a smile.

On winter nights, the residents go to bed early, and the night is so quiet that you can hear a needle drop.

Guan Ju really never went out on a quiet and empty night, especially when he looked at the kitchen knife wrapped in a towel by the door, a coolness came from his back, and when fear rose from his heart, it was passed to him instantly. The brain, the brain sends back to the body, and goosebumps are the most honest response from the body.

Guan Ju hurriedly turned on the music in the car, chose a very upbeat and fast song, and turned it up loudly. At the same time, he quickly turned around to check whether the windows were closed tightly.Although a little scared, Guan Ju didn't dare to drive fast, kept the normal speed, and sang along to the music, trying to divert his attention through the music.

At the foot of the mountain, Guan Ju became more and more nervous, and the small theater in his head had already begun to stage various horror scenes. Those he knew or not, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, Zhenzi, Xiaoqian, and Liu Qiaoqiao took turns dangling in Guan Ju's head, He was obviously afraid of the cold, but at this moment his back was wet with sweat.

The shadows of the trees on both sides of the road are whirling, and the sea breeze is blowing, rustling.

Guan Ju comforted himself while being afraid, and drove for a while, feeling that he was so nervous that he was about to suffocate.

Guan Ju was suddenly blessed. If there were ghosts and ghosts, the Rebirth Curse should be useful. Thinking about it this way, Guan Ju began to recite the Rebirth Curse silently in his heart.

Maybe it's a psychological effect, I don't feel so scared anymore.

After passing the corner, the headlights of the car passed by, and he saw the little master standing at the gate of the mountain at a glance. Guan Ju heaved a sigh of relief and finally arrived safely...

Chapter 30

Guan Ju slept very restlessly that night, always felt that there was wind in his ears, and there was someone behind him. When he slept on his side, he hid behind him, when he slept on his front, he hid under the bed, and when he got up to check, he would drift away.Suspicious all night, repeatedly, until the middle of the night before falling asleep exhausted.

When the alarm clock rang in the morning, Guan Ju was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, his whole body was sore, as if he had been beaten by a gang, and when he washed himself, he saw himself in the mirror, his eyes were blue and his eyes were dull.

After changing clothes and putting on makeup, I felt my head cleared up a bit, no, as soon as I woke up, I rushed to find Zhengda.

"Little Master..."

The temple, which was originally filled with cigarette smoke and silent, became much more lively because of Guan Ju's arrival.

"Little master... where are you?" Guan Ju searched around in the yard like headless chickens.

"Xiaoguan, it is forbidden to make loud noises in the temple." Zhengda came out from the Patriarch's Hall, Xu had just finished his morning class, and he hadn't had time to take off his haiqing.

Zheng Zheng leisurely walked to the middle of the yard, the warm morning sun shone on her body, and the breeze blew the sea green on her body, as if a fairy descended from the earth.

"Oh……"

Guan Ju stopped his footsteps like a wind, and Shi Shiran walked to Zhengda's side.

"Little master, what scriptures were you chanting last night?" It turned out that Guan Ju was so reckless in the morning because he was thinking about the Huangmei Opera tune last night.

"Release Mengshan" Zhengda replied concisely.

"Is Mengshan used to sing? Can you teach me?"

"You want to learn?" Guan Ju looked at Guan Ju curiously.

Guan Ju nodded his head heavily; "Think... teach me, little master" as he said that, he pulled up Zhengda's arm and shook it back and forth like a baby.

"Let's go eat first," Zhengda changed the subject.

The object of Mengshan's food is the living beings in the nether world. Because of the sins they committed in the past, they feel ugly in this life, lack of food, and suffer all kinds of hardships.Moreover, Mengshan has extremely high requirements for giving food. When you enter the altar to recite, you must not touch your mouth with tea; if you recite at the altar, you are not allowed to drink tea or drink. …

The duration of the feeding is about three to four hours, and there is no pause after the start. This requires extremely high physical strength and perseverance. Zhengda was afraid that Guan Ju would just be on a whim, so he didn't agree immediately.

From waking up in the morning to going to work, Guan Ju kept begging Zhengda to teach herself, but Zhengda never answered her directly.Guan Ju was very puzzled, usually the little master hoped that he would recite more scriptures, why didn't he teach it now.

"Leng Qingqiu, will you let Mengshan go?" Guan Ju immediately sent a text message to Leng Qingqiu after arriving at the office.

The word "will" cherishes the word like gold and Leng Qingqiu replied.

"Can you teach me (please face)" Guan Ju immediately replied.

"I can't teach..." Qingqiu replied with a heart as hard as iron.

After being rejected, Guan Ju searched for information on the release of Mengshan on the Internet. Guan Ju was not very interested in its rituals, origins, and functions. She was interested in chanting scriptures in the form of singing. According to her understanding, Mengshan Shishi's chapter is very long, the first long chapter is still in the form of chanting, and the second half is expressed in the form of rap.

She was obsessed with the scriptures all morning, and Guan Ju didn't eat lunch in the company cafeteria. She drove back to the temple just in time for the fasting in the temple.

"Xiao Guan, why are you free at noon?" A Lu asked when he saw Guan Ju coming back.

Normally, Guan Ju didn't come back for lunch very often, saying that the lunch break was short and running back and forth was too much work.

"The food in the cafeteria is not to my liking, I want to eat the vegetarian dishes in the temple." Guan Ju made up a reason casually. After half a year, Guan Ju was still not used to it.

Guan Ju was flattered by Aunt Lu's initiative today. It was only a short contact last night. Guan Ju thought that Auntie might not hate her so much anymore, but she never thought that Auntie Lu would take the initiative to care about herself.

Walking inside, Grandma and several elderly laymen were chatting together, and seeing Guan Ju approaching, they all smiled.

"Guanguan, eat..." Grandma speaks poor Mandarin, and only knows some simple vocabulary, such as: eating, sleeping, biscuits, etc. to communicate with Guanju, and the rest is all guesswork.The other grandmas just echoed, repeating the word "eat", this sudden love made Guan Ju blush, and hurried to the restaurant.

After being seated, before eating, Guan Ju noticed that today's aunts are very different, they are still whispering as before, but each of them looked at her with malicious and probing eyes as before, but everyone looked at her. Treat her kindly, and there is a posse of harmony around her.

After getting used to rumors and indifference, today's peaceful atmosphere made Guan Ju a little at a loss, as shy as a young girl in love.Facing everyone's fiery eyes, Guan Ju ate his food in small bites, even embarrassed to pick up the dishes.

"Xiaoguan, why are you eating only rice today? Are you uncomfortable?" Zheng asked in puzzlement, and casually picked up a piece of tofu for her.

"Ah...no...no, I'll do it myself" Guan Ju glanced at the aunts around her from the corner of her eye, all of them stared at her with motherly eyes, Guan Ju really wanted to dig a hole to go down.

After finishing lunch quickly, Guan Ju fled back to the room on the pretext of taking a lunch break.

This sudden and heavy love is really suffocating.

Guan Ju didn't go back to his room, but came to the Guanyin Hall, where he would meditate and chant scriptures at night, so there were many scriptures along the wall. Guan Ju quickly browsed through them, but he didn't see any scriptures with the words Mengshan.

When Zhengda returned to his room, he saw the shoes at the entrance of Guanyin Hall and knew that Guan Ju was inside.

"Don't you want a lunch break?" Zhengda walked into the hall and asked.

"Little Master, why are there no scriptures from Mount Meng here?" Guan Ju asked without answering.

"Did you come back at noon just to find scriptures?" Zheng Da was a little surprised by Guan Ju's persistence.

"Well, little master, are you really not going to teach me?" Guan Ju pretended to be sad.

"Releasing Mengshan requires more requirements than other scriptures." Zhengda felt that it was necessary to let Guan Ju know that this is not a child's play, and once he wants to learn it, he has to work hard.

"It's okay little master, I will study hard, you can teach me," Guan Ju begged again.

"Little master..." Guan Ju started her coquettish mode.

"If you start, you can't go back on your word," Zhengda compromised.

"I promise," Guan Ju said happily, raising his hand.

"Release Mengshan requires on-the-spot experience. If you have an atmosphere, you can learn faster. Now there are more Buddhist ceremonies at the end of the year. You should familiarize yourself with the scriptures first. When the time comes, you will stand behind and listen to them." Zhengda went back to his room and took a copy. "Mengshan Food Ritual Regulations" to Guanju.

"Before reading the scriptures, remember to find a quiet place, after washing your hands, tidy up your appearance, sit and read, don't be careless," Zhengda explained carefully.

"I know little master." Guan Ju is like a child who has got a treasure, and his happiness is written on his face.

Guan Ju couldn't wait to read the scriptures when he got them. After a rough scan, he realized that what he heard last night was a segment of nectar flavor. In addition, there are many interesting mantras. The difference from the "Diamond Sutra" is that these mantras Most of them are catchy, and they rhyme neatly and nicely. Therefore, Guan Ju is more confident in learning how to release Mengshan.

In the next period of time, whenever Guan Ju had free time, he would study the scriptures with his hands in his hands, and would ask Zhengda for advice if he didn't understand. Occasionally, he would listen to the masters chanting scriptures outside the temple when he came back from get off work early, and indulged in it like a madman.

General Zheng saw everything about Guan Ju, and besides being overjoyed, he had other thoughts.

At first, I thought Guan Ju was an impetuous, rebellious, and restless person, and it was just a whim to live in the temple. After a long time, he got tired of it, and he would leave naturally.But after getting along with each other for this period of time, Zhengda found that Guan Ju was completely different from what he saw.She is enthusiastic, sunny, calm, and the most important thing is that she can calm down and study the scriptures. The more you get along with her, the more you like her.

Since the monks changed their view of Guan Ju, they were willing to look at Guan Ju with their hearts, and found that she was completely different from that Qiao Xiaozhen.Other young people think that old people are useless, and they can hide as far away as possible, but Guan Ju is doing the opposite. He likes to stay with these old ladies when he has nothing to do. Even though they cannot speak the language, it does not affect their daily detention Ju laughed amusedly.

Occasionally, when chanting sutras is too late, Guan Ju will take the initiative to ask to send some laymen with inconvenient legs and feet home, and even come to pick them up on weekends.Now, Guan Ju is the favorite of the group in the temple. Apart from the master and grandmother, the aunts and grandmothers are also scrambling to cherish her, bringing her some snacks from the house at the foot of the mountain from time to time.

On another weekend, Guan Ju got up late and was ready to supply water after eight o'clock. He got the water in the kitchen and was about to go to the Daxiong Palace. As soon as he left the kitchen, he saw a few workers in blue service uniforms wandering outside the main hall.

When they saw Guan Ju, several people hurriedly lowered their heads, staggered the eyes they met with Guan Ju, evasively dodged, and looked guilty.

This is the labor service of the electrician in the company. Guan Ju knows it, but people don't know it. After all, it is impossible for the more than 200 laborers to meet them one by one, and they usually contact the team leaders.

Guan Ju was stunned for a moment. He had lived in the temple for half a year, and he rarely saw workers coming to offer incense. After all, the distance between the shipyard and the temple was a bit far, and the bus from the factory only went to town. There is a mountain road to go.Workers only have one day off a week, and many of them choose to sleep late in the dormitory, or go out to the island for a stroll.

I was thinking about whether to say hello before I realized that I don't know these people, so these people probably don't know me either...

Chapter 31

As Zhengda said, there are many Buddhist events near the end of the year, and there will be a Mengshan release every three or four days. Guan Ju participated in it without fail. Although he has read the scriptures several times, the actual practice is still a bit different. Ju is still an old problem, the eyes can't keep up with what the ears hear, and it takes four hours to play Mengshan, which is really not a small test.

Guan Ju seemed extremely excited every time there was a segment of nectar water, but this was the first time she followed it, the tune was familiar, and it was a four-character mantra, which she quickly learned.It is no exaggeration to say that in order to sing this passage, Guan Ju can patiently study the remaining three hours and four 10 minutes of content.

Every time after singing Guanju, he will discuss the content with Leng Qingqiu, and Leng Qingqiu can point out something that he doesn't understand.

Interest is the best teacher, which is fully reflected in Guan Ju.It took me more than two months to learn the Diamond Sutra before I could read the scriptures by heart.Now it's only been three weeks since Mengshan was released, and Guan Ju can read most of the scriptures by himself.

Zhengda was very pleased with this, and even liked watching Guan Ju more and more.

The master and lay Buddhists admired Guan Ju even more, and stood in the ranks of lay Buddhists every three or four days to chant scriptures together, asking which young man would be willing to do this.

It was another Monday morning, when Guan Ju went up to the fifth floor, he heard a commotion. Several people in off-white work clothes at the door murmured loudly;

The team leaders came to ask for their salaries again, and Guan Ju was also very puzzled about this matter. A few days ago, the headquarters said that the payment was in place, but it has not been remitted until now.

"Manager Guan, you came at a good time. When will the salary be paid? This month is almost here, and many people are waiting to go home for the New Year," said the leader of the pipeline A team.

"The funds from the headquarters will arrive in the account, and they should arrive in the account within two days. I will give you an answer before get off work, okay?" Guan Ju said calmly.

"Get off work today, Manager Guan, you have to keep your word," the leader of pipeline A team compromised again.

After the person left, Guan Ju heaved a sigh of relief, she was also frightened by the debt collection.

"Sister Zhen, you can call Cao Fangxiu again to ask about the situation, and you must give me an explanation today," Guan Ju confessed to Qiao Xiaozhen.

"Uncle, it's still not here, um, have you got the money ready?" Guan Ju called Guan Jinwen to report the situation, "I'll go to the headquarters to find their financial manager later, um, okay"

After coming out of the office, Guan Ju went directly to the headquarters. This time she didn't go upstairs, and directly called Mr. Li from the Finance Department to meet in the beverage area of ​​the cafeteria downstairs.

During working hours, there are not many people drinking drinks.

"Mr. Li, didn't you say that the headquarters' funds are in place? The acceptance report we submitted was passed last month. Why haven't you remitted the money yet?" Guan Ju asked straight to the point.

"I signed it last Wednesday. What's going on?" Mr. Li asked with a surprised face. It was true that the funds were not in place this time, and it took a while, but he signed it immediately after the account arrived last week. How could it not be received?

After hearing Mr. Li's words, Guan Ju was thoughtful

"Mr. Li, are your payments often delayed?" Guan Ju seemed to have thought of something.

"Except for this time, I've always been on time."

Lao Li is a local, over 50 years old, and his wife has been chanting scriptures in the temple.Recently he has heard Mrs. Li praising Guan Ju in front of him a lot.

This meeting was not too long, and both of them seemed to understand something in their hearts, but as the year was approaching, it was time to settle the remittance issue first.

"That's it, ah, okay, thank you Mr. Li, you really helped me a lot, okay, goodbye, I'll treat you to dinner another day, goodbye" Guan Ju entered the office while talking on the phone, speaking louder than usual , because she was afraid that the people in the office would not hear her call.

"Is Mr. Li from the finance department?" Chen Jing asked casually when she saw the call ended.

"Yeah, don't worry about the salary," Guan Ju said in a relaxed tone.

At noon Guan Ju went back to the temple again, Ming Xin was a little absent-minded during the meal, and sighed, Guan Ju looked at Zheng Da suspiciously, and it was inconvenient to ask more questions at the dinner table.

"Little Master, what's the matter with Master?" Guan Ju and Zhengda asked while washing dishes in the sink.

"Isn't there less than 20 days left for the Chinese New Year? The head of the house wants to ask Qing Qiu if he wants to come back for the Chinese New Year, but Qing Qiu doesn't answer the phone." Zheng Da also felt distressed.

"Little Master... Leng Qingqiu..." Guan Ju stammered, "Is it... Master's illegitimate daughter?" Guan Ju asked the guess in his heart

"Xiao Guan, who did you hear this from?" Zheng Da asked back with a frown.

"Ah... I haven't heard of it, I guessed it," Guan Ju said with a guilty conscience.

"Of course not, Qingqiu was picked up by the head of the temple at the gate of the temple."

At that time, Ming Xin had only been a monk for a few years, and there were several senior brothers in the temple besides the master and the master.That day, Ming Xin got up early as usual, and just opened the mountain gate and saw something lying on the ground, Ming Xin squatted down and opened a corner of the package, Ming Xin staggered in fright.It was actually a baby. It seemed that he had just been born. The weather was already very cold at that time. I don't know how long the baby had been left at the door, and his lips were purple from the cold.

Tremblingly, Ming Xin stretched out her index finger and put it under the baby's nose. Fortunately, she was still alive.Ming Xin quickly picked up the baby and went back to the temple.The few people in the temple were inexperienced and had no way to deal with the crying baby.Except for the host at that time, the others were all girls in their twenties, and they couldn't take on this important task. The host meant to send her down the mountain to find a family to raise her.

Mingxin felt that since the child was picked up by herself, it meant that she was destined to be with her. After thinking twice, she decided to keep the child and raise it by herself, and let her follow her family name. It was late autumn morning when she picked it up. So it was named Leng Qingqiu.

Because they had no experience in taking care of children, Ming Xin and Leng Qingqiu were very tormented in the first few years, one was not well taken care of, and the other was not taken care of well.Later, Ming Xin found out a little way, and Leng Qingqiu got used to this free-range life.After getting a little older, Leng Qingqiu began to crawl around in the main hall, with the tall and magnificent palace in front of his eyes, and the chanting of sutras like the sound of Sanskrit in his ears.

Influenced by such an environment since childhood, Leng Qingqiu developed a temperament of wanting nothing, fighting and grabbing, and had no playmates when he was a child, and there were no entertainment items in the temple.Chanting scriptures and memorizing all the scriptures is Leng Qingqiu's pleasure. Leng Qingqiu didn't come into contact with the outside world until she was in elementary school.

The first time I saw a child of the same age, Leng Qingqiu was both happy and shy, but since she was young, she grew up with adults, and she knew how to read words and expressions at a very young age, and soon she became one with the children.It wasn't until the third grade that Leng Qingqiu began to realize that she was different from other children. She had low self-esteem, sadness and fear...

"Then what about her biological parents, haven't they come to look for her?" Guan Ju said with deep distress.

"Who do you think put Qingqiu outside the mountain gate?"

That's right, if it wasn't for being abandoned, how could Leng Qingqiu appear outside the mountain gate.

"Then what's going on between her and Master?" Guan Ju asked with concern.

"The head of the family has always cultivated Qingqiu as an heir. When he was a child, Qingqiu was extremely talented, and he could memorize many scriptures. After entering middle school, the head of the family always joked with Qingqiu, saying that he would pass on the position of host in the future. She, Qingqiu kept quiet, and when she was older, Qingqiu made it clear that she didn't want to become a monk, so the two of them began to quarrel constantly, "Thinking of that time, it was really restless...

Until high school, Mingxin clearly told Qingqiu that he would be shaved after graduating from high school, but Qingqiu refused to live or die, and said that he must go to college.At that time, there were few people in the temple, and Mingxin's master had passed away. Because of the fact that the presiding position was passed on to Mingxin, several senior sisters left to set up their own houses.Only Mingxin, Zhengda, Wuxin, Qingqiu and Grandma are left in Ciyin Nunnery.For this reason, Mingxin is even more determined to let Qingqiu inherit her mantle.In order to prevent Leng Qingqiu from continuing her studies, Mingxin even locked Leng Qingqiu in her room. No matter how noisy Leng Qingqiu was or how fast she fasted, she never softened her heart.

At that time, Wuxin was only eight years older than Leng Qingqiu, and she always treated Leng Qingqiu as her younger sister.When Ming Xin and Leng Qingqiu were at a stalemate, Wuxin always secretly helped Leng Qingqiu while no one was there, and encouraged her to study hard.Sure enough, the day before the college entrance examination, Wuxin secretly let Leng Qingqiu go while the others were chanting.For this reason, Ming Xin and Wu Xin did not speak for a long time.

The sky paid off, and Leng Qingqiu was admitted to a 985 key university with excellent grades.When Leng Qingqiu was still immersed in joy, Mingxin mercilessly cut off all her sources of income.Originally, she thought that being admitted to a prestigious university would change Mingxin's mind, but she didn't value it at all.It was only then that Leng Qingqiu realized that the master was just a master, different from ordinary parents, and had different expectations.

Leng Qingqiu was angry and chilled by the intentions and toughness of the person who was the closest, most trusted, and most respected person since childhood, and she seemed to have a purpose in raising her.

The obedient and respectful Leng Qingqiu's sudden rebellion also caught Ming Xin by surprise. The confused Ming Xin locked Leng Qingqiu in the room again, let her cry, make trouble and hang herself, Ming Xin was unmoved.

How stiff the two of them had been arguing during that time, and now Mingxin regrets it...

There is still one chapter left to meet, but I didn’t grasp it well, and the front was a bit procrastinated, but after the meeting, it was still very sweet

Chapter 32

As soon as he went to work in the afternoon, Guan Ju received the reserve money transferred from Guan Jinwen.

"Guan Guan, Cao Fangxiu called and said that the money will arrive in the afternoon." Qiao Xiaozhen couldn't wait to tell her the news the moment Guan Ju stepped into the office.

"Really?" Guan Ju asked pretending to be surprised, and his previous guess became more certain in his heart.

Originally, the reserve fund was just in case, but now that the salary issue has been settled, there is no need to worry about the next thing, after all, it is almost a holiday.

I've been struggling with my salary for a month, and when I relax, I'm thinking about Leng Qingqiu again
