All Hail Cousin Brother Chapter 189 – 189 Blood Beeswax Beads

189 Blood Beeswax Beads
“She’s just like her mother. She’s used to some superficial work, but she doesn’t know that one can’t just be superficial.” After saying that, Old Madam Yu looked out of the window and sneered. “At least she knows how to wear simple clothes. If she were to wear gold and silver, she would really be a joke.”

Shaking her head, she lowered the curtain. Out of sight, out of mind. She turned to look at her granddaughter and couldn’t help but laugh when she saw her eating figs happily.

Yu Youyao swallowed a mouthful of figs and took a sip of tea. Then, she said, “With Mother managing the porridge stall, it’s naturally more appropriate. It’s also better for outsiders to know that the Yu Residence values the porridge stall sincerely and it’s not just for show. Third Sister is young and doesn’t know much. She’s just following Mother around to learn. Since there are elders with her, it’s not crossing the line.”

Hearing this, Old Madam Yu hugged her granddaughter. “You’re such a kind person. You’re thinking of the best.”

After chatting for a while, they finally arrived at the Precious Peace Temple!

Today was the Buddha Festival, so there were many people offering incense at the Precious Peace Temple.

Yu Youyao followed closely behind her grandmother. She first went to the room to settle down and eat some tea and snacks before going up to the palace.

Yu Youyao knelt on the yellow meditation cushion and recited the Diamond Sutra to pray for her cousin. Only then did she worship Buddha and offer incense.

Old Madam Yu paid for the incense oil and sent the copied Buddhist scriptures to the meditation room.

At this moment, a gray-robed monk came over with a wooden box. “Amitabha, you have done a great deed!”

Old Madam Yu took the wooden box. “Thank you, Master.”

After the old monk left, Yu Youyao looked at the wooden box curiously. It was made of the most ordinary Bodhi wood and did not have any additional patterns on it.

However, Old Madam Yu held it solemnly in her hand and stroked the box gently. Even her voice sounded complicated. “Ten years ago today, I personally handed this box to a master in the temple and asked him to bless it in front of Buddha. He chanted non-stop day and night. He lighted incense and conducted baptism.”

With a little sigh, she had already opened the box.

Immediately, Yu Youyao’s eyes shone brightly. When she looked carefully, she saw that there was a blood beeswax seven-treasure Buddhist prayer beads lying in the box. It was red and looked as beautiful as honey and as bright as wax.

Beeswax was rare and precious to begin with, and blood beeswax was even more precious. Even though Yu Youyao was used to seeing good things, she couldn’t take her eyes off it.

“At that time, your mother was pregnant with you. The midwife said that you would be able to come out in April. In April, it was time to bath the buddha. I felt that you were fated with Buddha, so I ordered someone to make this prayer bead.”

At the mention of the past, Old Madam Yu also sighed. As she spoke, she picked up the blood honey wax prayer beads. As soon as she picked up the prayer beads lying in the box, light and shadow flowed and they shone brightly.

“It’s really beautiful.” Yu Youyao looked at it carefully, but it was glossy on the outside and shiny on the inside. It was pure, natural, smooth, and uniform.

Unknowingly, she was a little dazed.

“The older generation all say that thousand-year-old amber and ten-thousand-year-old beeswax are spiritual and can protect one’s safety.” Old Madam Yu held her granddaughter’s hand and wrapped the blood beeswax prayer beads around her thin wrist.

The texture of beeswax was delicate and moist. The beads were warm and lustrous when worn on the wrist. There is no foreign body sensation at all. Yu Youyao could also smell the fragrance of honey. Although the natural fragrance was light, it lingered in the nose, chest and thread. It seems that it could make the mind happy.

The beeswax was a special crystal that had condensed over a long period of time. This incense also accumulated naturally over time.

Old Madam Yu looked at it. The prayer beads were polished to the size of green beans, and the size was even. There was no difference. The prayer beads circled her wrist four times, but they did not seem cumbersome. Instead, they made her look flawless.

In the three years that Madam Xie had been in the family, she had never had any children. After she was pregnant, she did not care if the child was a boy or girl. She was very happy to have a direct descendant and valued her child more.

This was probably what Buddhism often called fate.

“Grandmother…” Yu Youyao felt a lump in her throat, and her eyes felt a little sore. She looked at the blood beeswax prayer beads on her wrist. There was an entire string of prayer beads, and she could tell that there were 108 of them.

The 108 pearls represented 108 industries, 108 Buddhist deities, 108 paths to Buddha, and 108 types of meditation and the destruction of 108 worries.

Old Madam Yu patted her hand. “I originally planned to keep these prayer beads in the temple until you reached the age of adulthood. Who knew that a few days ago, the eminent monk who consecrated the prayer beads at the Precious Peace Temple suddenly sent a letter saying that the prayer beads have successfully done their job and were personally blessed by Master Hui Neng. It would be useless to continue consecrating it.”

Master Hui Neng’s Buddhist teachings were profound. During her previous trip to the Precious Peace Temple, Yao Yao had been lucky enough to obtain his teachings.

Now that Master Hui Neng had specially blessed the blood honey wax prayer beads, even Old Madam Yu was shocked. She smiled and said, “Yao Yao, you’re indeed fated with Buddha.”

Yu Youyao suddenly recalled the old monk she had seen in the meditation room the last time she had come to the Precious Peace Temple. At that time, the old monk had glanced at her forehead, and before he left, he even recited a paragraph of the Sutra of the Medicine Buddha.

“Yao Yao looks so beautiful wearing it.” Old Madam Yu was delighted. She had heard from the older generation that there was no other red in the world that could compare to the purity of the blood beeswax.

Yu Youyao threw herself into her grandmother’s arms and cried out in a choked voice, “Grandmother!”

Blood beeswax had ten kinds of blessings, which meant that it was perfectly blessed.

Happiness, wealth, longevity, health, tranquility, kindness, loyalty, courage, harmony and perfection. Her mother wished her a life full of peace and blessings.

Old Madam Yu hugged her granddaughter and sighed. “In the blink of an eye, it’ll be ten years. Yao Yao has already grown up and will be ten years old in a few more days. Take this string of blood beeswax prayer beads as a birthday gift from me in advance. When the time comes, don’t look for me for gifts anymore.”

Yu Youyao said in a muffled voice, “Grandmother, you’re too petty. Birthday gifts are only meaningful on the day of the birthday. How can giving them in advance count?”

When Old Madam Yu heard this, she glared at her. “Little heartless girl, quickly take off the Blood beeswax prayer beads. I’ll take them back and leave them for your birthday.”

Yu Youyao quickly hid her hand behind her back and pouted. “That won’t do, Grandmother. How can I take back a gift that I’ve accepted? I won’t take it off. It’ll be mine if I wear it on my wrist.”

Old Madam Yu glared at her. “You’re smart.”

Yu Youyao threw herself into her grandmother’s arms happily. “Who asked me to be raised by Grandmother?”

Old Madam Yu almost laughed in anger. She stroked her granddaughter’s back helplessly. “You little girl…”
