"Yes, go ask your eldest brother and sister-in-law first." Song also urged. She heard a quarrel in the east room in the kitchen just now. Although the oil-paper umbrella thing might not be accomplished, at least it could help Zhang calm down. They have been sisters-in-law for many years, and the first wife has helped the second wife a lot, especially when Yu Mengshan broke his leg. Thanks to the first wife for helping to take care of him. Song sincerely hopes that the first wife will get better too.
Yu Mengshan went to the west room. Zhang had a quarrel with Yu Qiaoshan, and the atmosphere in the room was cold. After Yu Mengshan told her his intention, Zhang was very tempted. She felt bad because she was panicking when she saw that the second and third rooms had found ways to make money.
The idea of making oil-paper umbrellas is at least a way to make money, and it doesn't require much capital. You just need to buy some umbrella paper and brush it with tung oil.
Zhang didn't care about Yu Qiaoshan's sulking anymore, and called Yu Zhixing out of the house. The three of them discussed for a while and decided to wait for Yu Zhizhou to come back before making a decision.
After mending the bedding, it was already late at night. Song knew that they were going to Fahua Temple the next day, so she urged Yu Jiao and Yu Fuling to go to bed.
Chile Mountain is a majestic mountain with towering rocks, lush green mountains and surrounding peaks. Along the way to the mountain, there are waterfalls hanging high, waves hitting rocks, gurgling streams, and huge stones with reclining Buddhas, which are neat and solemn, making people feel awe.
Yu Fuling was very excited. She held Yu Jiao's hand, looked around, and exclaimed from time to time. Yu Qizhe followed behind them, occasionally reminding them to be careful with the stone steps.
After breakfast, the three of them set off for the Fahua Temple. They stopped and walked along the way, but they didn't feel tired.
There are exotic plants and flowers on both sides of the mountain path, as well as lush forests and bamboos. The scenery is pleasant. There is still a layer of light mist in the mountains, and the surrounding scenery is refreshing. Yu Jiao feels that she should go out more often. The depression that has accumulated in her heart for days disappears completely in this open, clear and Zen-surrounded mountain.
When they reached a pavilion halfway up the mountain, the three of them sat down and rested for a while before continuing to climb.
Fahua Temple is located in the southeast and faces northwest. It is built along the mountainside with steps. When you enter the temple, you will see the main hall where a golden Buddha is enshrined. On both sides stand the Four Heavenly Kings with angry eyes. Behind the hall stands Weituo Bodhisattva with his palms facing down and pressing the pestle, looking extremely majestic.
The other halls and pavilions rise up layer by layer along the mountain, including the Hall of Heavenly Kings, the Hall of the Great Buddha, and the Hall of Great Compassion. On the east and west sides are vermilion corridors that protect the three main halls.
As soon as Yu Fuling entered the room, she knelt on the cushion and kowtowed to the golden Buddha statue, muttering something silently to fulfill her sincere wish.
The temple is very popular. Although it is not a festival, there are still many people coming to worship. The sandalwood smells strong and has a calming effect on the mind.
After Yu Fuling finished worshipping the Buddha statue, Yu Qizhe led the two of them through the east corridor to the Main Hall. Inside the hall, dozens of monks were beating wooden fish and chanting sutras. With a look of awe on her face, Yu Fuling stuffed the five copper coins that Song had stuffed into her in the morning into the alms box placed beside the hall.
Yu Qizhe found a young monk who was receiving pilgrims and whispered a few words to him. The young monk put his hands together and bowed to him, then led the three of them through the turtle pond and to the backyard.
"Sister, you and Yu Jiao can walk around outside the courtyard. I'm going to meet Master Huijue first." Yu Qizhe said, "The Zen room in the backyard is where the monks of Fahua Temple live and meditate. It's inconvenient for women to go in and out."
Yu Jiao and Yu Fuling nodded. They saw a stone table and stone benches for cooling off in the yard, so they sat down beside the stone table and waited for Yu Qizhe.
The young monk led Yu Qizhe into the courtyard and walked to the meditation room on the left. He raised his hand and knocked on the door, saying, "Abbot Huijue, there is a donor named Yu who wants to see you."
An old voice came from the Zen room, "I understand. You can go down first."
Upon hearing the voice, the young monk bowed to Yu Qizhe and left.
After a while, the door of the meditation room opened from the inside, revealing Lu Jin's face. There was a hint of worry on his face, and his complexion was much more haggard than the last time he saw him.
He said to Yu Qizhe, "Brother, you are here?" Seeing that there was no one else following Yu Qizhe, he couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you bring that master with you?"
Seeing his appearance, Yu Qizhe was worried, "How is Master?"
