The two people squeezed in, but fortunately the number of people gradually decreased. After a quarter of an hour, they finally arrived. The two people knelt down. Bow sincerely on the ground.
"I hope Bodhisattva will bless my granddaughter to grow up safely. If her magical powers are not harmful to her, don't take them back. After all, they are quite useful. But if they are harmful, then take them back. As long as the child is safe, that's all. Thank you Bodhisattva." ." Mrs. Gao muttered to herself.
Mrs. Gao Qin kowtowed while holding Tianbao, and said in her heart with a serious face: "Thank you Bodhisattva for blessing me and giving birth to such a little girl. She has some magical powers. I just hope that she is good and not bad. Believers also I have seen some suffering in life. I just hope that this child will grow up safely and meet a beloved man like me in the future."
The two people put the fruits and steamed buns they brought on the altar table, and then added money for sesame oil. I went aside and waited for the fruit offerings to be taken away.
The rules in the temple are that after noon, the offerings must be taken away, and whoever brings them will take them back. However, they can also be exchanged with each other. No one dares to cheat in front of the Bodhisattva.
The two of them were walking around the temple holding Tian Bao, and happened to meet a woman from the village who was a loudspeaker with a very loud voice.
"Why are your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law here?" the loudspeaker said.
Old Mrs. Gao said with a smile: "Bring the child to say goodbye, aren't you visiting relatives?"
"Then I can't forget such an important day! I didn't rush back early in the morning, this is a sweet baby! I haven't seen it before!" Big Speaker said and walked over.
Old Mrs. Gao stood aside and said very seriously: "It's okay, don't do it!"
The loudspeaker laughed loudly: "Sister-in-law, let me show you something rare. A daughter is rare in your family, but a son is rare in my family. This It's so hard to compare one person to another. I heard that the county magistrate is asking for a son! Your family is asking for a daughter."
"Don't talk nonsense. Everyone has their own preferences. Just tell me whether my granddaughter is cute or not." How cute!" Mrs. Gao said in disgust.
Big Speaker said sincerely: "It's cute, how can it not be cute! Yesterday, my son picked me up and took my grandson with me. He said that last time he and your Gao An went down to the river to catch fish, and we caught a lot of fish!"
"Also! If it hadn't rained, all the fish in the fields would have come out." It's such a big speaker that covers everything.
It's a pity that Big Speaker knew the dissatisfaction in the heart of Mrs. Gao, and kept saying: "If you ask me, your family's life has gotten better and better since Tianbao was born. My son said that the seedlings in your family are much taller than others. ?"
"You, a mother-in-law, are also making trouble in the temple! Are you jealous because my baby is so good-looking? It's not as exaggerated as you said, really." Mrs. Gao hugged Tianbao with a look of disgust on her face. Walk not far away.
Big Speaker didn't care and muttered to himself: "In my opinion, he is a lucky child."
A person dressed as a maid with a basket on her arm in the corridor next to him heard their conversation and thought for a while before leaving.
Mrs. Gao Qin pulled Mrs. Gao and whispered, "Mom, don't be nervous. Others will think she is exaggerating."
"What do you know? Where is this place? It's a temple, not an ordinary place. If you hear that The little baby is so good, what should I do if it is taken away?"
Gao Qin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she nodded in agreement. At this time, a monk with white eyebrows walked out of the room.
"The two female donors are really blessed." The monk bowed when he saw Mrs. Gao and the others.
Although they don't know why they are blessed, the monks in this temple should not lie to them. After all, they seem to have no money.
The old monk looked at the sweet baby in Gao Qin's arms and said, "This is a blessed child. If he is born into a blessed family, he will naturally be very lucky!"
"Master, what do you mean? My old lady is not very capable. Understand." Mrs. Gao felt that this master knew the answer she had been searching for.
The master then took out a peace charm from his arms and said, "Give this to the little baby. Come back in a month!" After that, he left.
Mrs. Gao didn't get the answer and felt very uncomfortable. She looked at her daughter-in-law and said, "Isn't he a liar?"
"Probably not. I just saw a lot of people surrounding him! And I heard about this peace charm. Each one costs one tael of silver. He didn't ask for any money from us, so he shouldn't be a scammer." Gao Qin analyzed calmly.
Mrs. Gao nodded, took the sweet treasure and looked at her daughter-in-law: "Hurry up and put the peace charm away and put it under the child's pillow when you get home." Mrs.
Gao Qin nodded, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law felt that this time they had not come in vain. , who would have known that even greater good luck had actually arrived quietly...
It was Chun Equinox, the county magistrate's wife's maid, who heard them chatting just now. After she returned home, she thought about it and told the county magistrate's wife what had happened.
The eldest lady was lying on the bed. There was some lingering medicinal smell in the room. When she heard the words of the Spring Equinox, she couldn't help but frown: "You girl, you are so sick that you have to go to the doctor. How can a newborn baby be so... How blessed are you?" If you want to be blessed, you are also a boy.
Vernal Equinox persisted and said: "Madam, you have been lying at home for a long time. Why not take advantage of the spring weather outside and go out for a walk? Whether it is true or not, there are three sons in that family. I heard that my sister-in-law also gave birth to both children. Boy, let's go and ask if there is any secret recipe for giving birth to a child?"
The eldest lady said angrily: "Vernal Equinox, don't you think I can't give birth to a son?"
Vernal Equinox was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down on the ground: " I don't dare, I don't dare."
At this time, the county magistrate came back. When he saw the vernal equinox, he knelt on the ground and asked what happened. He smiled and said, "I told you, as long as you give birth to me, I will be happy. Stop worrying about these things."
The eldest lady couldn't help crying after listening to her husband's comfort: "In your family... I will give you a son. Don't try to persuade me. When I take good care of myself, I will I'm still going to give birth." She didn't believe that she couldn't give birth to a boy.
The county magistrate also felt bitter. He came from a big family and there must be a boy in this lineage. However, his younger brothers were also girls. This was often laughed at by people in other houses.
"My lord, why don't you, this servant, go and inquire about it? Don't you want the madam to come forward?" Equinox is the maidservant of the eldest lady, and she only thinks about the eldest lady.
The county magistrate glanced at the eldest lady and nodded: "Yes, you can go and ask! Don't tell us our identities, just treat it as passing curiosity."
"Yes, I know." Vernal Equinox nodded and went out to prepare. .
The eldest lady was still very sad, hugging the county magistrate and crying: "You said I have never done anything bad in my life, and you are a good official, why can't we get what we want!"
The county magistrate was sad but did not forget to comfort his wife. : "Yes, there will be a son. Maybe this time is an opportunity!"
