"What to do?"

"Mom said, go donate some unworn clothes and make some steamed buns to do good deeds."

Han Ziran sighed: "Mom, you miss your second brother, right?"

Xiao Zhen nodded: "You guessed it right."

"Then let the two nuns accompany you. What are you going to do? Aren't your legs inconvenient?" Han Ziran washed his feet and started to spread the quilt.

"Maybe I've been at home these past few days and I'm a little bored." Xiao Zhen said with a smile.

"This is the first time in so many years that I heard you say you were bored. It turns out that my busy wife can be bored too." Han Ziran asked Xiao Zhen to go to sleep first, and then he lay down.

"Zi Ran."

"Um?"

"Do you think it's better for people to have obsessions or not?"

Han Ziran turned to look at his wife, and saw his black and white eyes looking at him with a smile: "Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"You've read a lot, so I thought you might have a different opinion, so I just wanted to hear it."

Han Ziran hugged his wife, kissed her on the forehead and said: "Since it can be called obsession, it is not something that can be easily let go. Isn't there an old saying that one thought can turn into a devil? This shows how charming persistence is." Han Ziran

Suddenly he chuckled.

"why are you laughing?"

"Do you still remember Master Fang Xuan?"

"Um?"

"The last time I met him in the palace, he said that I was too obsessed, but what obsession did I have? Now I am inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. There are not many people like me in this world.

Han Ziran thought for a while: "If it really does exist, it's only you."

He didn't hear his wife speak for a long time. Han Ziran lowered his head and saw that his wife's eyes had been closed. He thought she had fallen asleep, so he fell asleep himself. Not long after he squinted his eyes, his wife's voice came: "Why am I?"

Your obsession?"

Han Ziran opened his eyes and saw his wife looking at him with a serious expression.

Hugging his wife tightly, Han Ziran said: "I don't know why, but when I first saw you, it felt like I had known you for a long, long time."

"Then if one day I leave you..."

"No." Han Ziran cut off Xiao Zhen's words before he could finish.

Seeing Han Ziran's solemn face and the trace of uneasiness in his eyes, Xiao Zhen grinned: "Look at your serious look, I was just joking. I'm so sleepy, go to sleep."

The next day, when Xiao Zhen got up, Han Ziran had already gone to court early.

Xiao Zhen got up slowly, caressed his slightly swollen legs, and murmured: "It's a lot more swollen than yesterday. It seems that the fetal air is really heavy this time."

"Young madam, breakfast has been prepared. Madam made your favorite noodles, and also put tofu skin." Xi Ya came in with a basin and wet the sweat towel for Xiao Zhen.

"I want two more eggs, and put a lion's head in here." Xiao Zhen said while wiping his face.

"Yes, yes, Madam has put it all away for you."

"Let's go have breakfast." When Xiao Zhen downed a large bowl of noodles, he felt very comfortable all over. He raised his eyes to see Mother Han, and the two nuns, Xi Ya, Cui Su, looked at her with smiles. Mother Han left

He came over, touched the child in her belly lovingly and said: "This baby, I hope it will be a girl. Girls are considerate. In my life

I’ve always wanted to have a daughter, but I couldn’t get pregnant.”

"Madam, the young madam is very caring to you, just like a daughter." Aunt Su said with a smile.

"She has a daughter's body and a man's heart." Mother Han rolled her eyes at Xiao Zhen pretending to be dissatisfied: "She has a higher ambition than a man, how can she be considerate."

Xiao Zhen chuckled: "But mother still likes me very much."

Mother Han glared at her: "Who said I like you?"

"I can tell."

Mother Han smiled and glared at Xiao Zhen: "Have you seen this? Then I am going to Chongming Temple now, have you seen it?"

Xiao Zhen stood up hurriedly: "Let's go."

This year, the royal family provided money to repaint the outside of Chongming Temple. When Xiao Zhen, Han Mu, and Xi Ya came to Chongming Temple, they only saw a large temple that had been painted with golden light. Under the sun,

It's so bright that people can't take their eyes away.

"Oh my God, the incense is really strong." Xiya looked at the crowds of people in front of the temple and exclaimed: "Madam, young madam, why do I feel that there are more believers than before."

"After the outer wall was painted, I heard that the Bodhisattva appeared more clearly, and more people came to worship from all directions," Mother Han said.

Mother Han walked a few steps and saw that Xiao Zhen did not follow. She turned around and found that she was looking at the huge Buddha head on the Imperial Mountains seriously. She couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Xiao Zhen smiled.

"Madam, young madam, tell me," Xiya also looked at the tall Buddha head and asked, "Why do most of the faces of Buddha statues always have no expression at all?"

"I haven't thought about this." Mother Han also had this doubt.

"Because in this case, no one can see through his mind." Xiao Zhen gave an explanation.

Han Mu, Xi Ya: ""

With Xiao Zhen's identity, he naturally didn't need to be crowded with others and went directly into the private room inside.

Xiao Zhen said hello to the second brother of the Han family who was a monk, and stopped disturbing them as Han mother and the second brother of the Han family talked, and walked out with Xi Ya.

"Madam, this courtyard is so peaceful." Xiya looked at the cold surroundings and said, "It's so lively outside, but there's not even a sound here."

"I heard that several holy monks were born in this courtyard before." Xiao Zhen looked at the centuries-old locust tree in the center of the courtyard for a while, then walked to the stone bench below and sat down.

"I know this. I heard that these holy monks all served as officials. Later, they saw the world of mortals and became monks here."

Xiao Zhen nodded: "I'm a little thirsty, go get me some water."

"yes."

After Xi Ya left, Xiao Zhen had nothing to do, so he got up and walked around in the yard. When he turned around, he saw an old monk standing a few steps away from her. The old monk was smiling with a kind face.

Looking at myself.

It was none other than Master Fang Xuan.

"Are you here?" Xiao Zhen said hello with a smile, not even calling him "Master".

"Madam, do you know that I am coming?"

"have no idea."

Master Fang Xuan smiled: "How are you doing, madam?"

"It's pretty good. I just discovered something interesting."

"If you have anything interesting to say, can you tell me something interesting?"

"I found that there is a young man who looks very similar to the master. In other words, I think that young man should look like the master when he gets old." Xiao Zhen smiled, his black and white eyes a little deep.

Master Fang Xuan didn't seem surprised that Xiao Zhen would say this: "I don't know, madam, do you have any questions?"

"No."

Master Fang Xuan was stunned for a moment: "No?"

"Master wish I had?"

Master Fang Xuan was silent for a while.

One was sitting and the other was standing. The people sitting looked at Master Fang Xuan carefully, but the master who was already in his seventies or eighties actually looked a little restrained under Xiao Zhen's scrutiny.

"Master," Xiao Zhen asked, "What is your obsession?"

"I am a monk. How can a monk be persistent?" Master Fang Xuan said in the name of the Buddha.

"Isn't the persistence of monks to save all sentient beings?"

Master Fang Xuan: ""

Xiao Zhen burst out laughing.

As soon as Han's mother came out, she saw her daughter-in-law laughing incomprehensibly in front of the highly respected master, who had a look of helplessness on her face, and couldn't help coughing lightly.

"Mom? Have you had a good time chatting with your second brother?" Xiao Zhen stood up and walked towards Mother Han.

Mother Han nodded and whispered when Xiao Zhen came over: "Master Fang Xuan must be highly respected, so you must be measured in what you say and do."

"I know, mother."

Mother Han went over and had a few words with Master Fang Xuan, while Xiao Zhen stayed by her side obediently.

When they left the courtyard, Xiao Zhen turned around and saw Master Fang Xuan watching her leave.

"What did you just say to Master? Are you smiling like this?"

"Meng Lang?" Xiao Zhen was slightly embarrassed. Did she?

"Master Fang Xuan is a highly respected holy monk. Don't be so rude next time you meet him."

"Yes, mother." Xiao Zhen responded.

"Madam, young madam, are you leaving now?" Xi Ya had just come in with some water.

"I'm going to distribute the steamed buns right now," Mother Han said to Xi Ya: "The young lady has trouble standing for long periods of time. Please take the young lady to the carriage and I'll be back in a moment."

"yes."

Xiao Zhen watched Mother Han walk to the Jide tent in the temple. There, the three hundred steamed buns she had made by hand had been neatly placed by the monks. Outside the tent, there were already people gathering with poor people and beggars who came to receive the steamed buns.
