403 Buddha Hall
Although the status of the concubine in the family is not high, but the mother is expensive by virtue of her son, and Aunt Yang, who "contributed" a son to the Yan family, is somewhat decent, not looking at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, it is against the third young master of Yan, the Yan family can not ignore her too lightly, as soon as the incident happened, they immediately sent someone back to the capital to ask for a doctor, and the party asked people to go to the island to inform Yan Zike, and the second wife of Yan also hurriedly asked people to go back to the Beijing branch Yan Qi and Yan Jiu Young Master, and the sisters and brothers took a boat to the island as soon as they received the news.
The people on the island all looked frightened, and they didn't dare to breathe more, while the masters looked solemn, you look at me, I look at you, but they didn't seem to have any ideas for a while.
"What is going on?" asked Second Mrs. Yan Jiu.
Second Mrs. Yan didn't hide it from her son, and said in a low voice: "I only heard that your aunt called Aunt Yang to her room to talk, and I don't know if Aunt Yang angered her or how...... Your eldest aunt was dizzy for a while, and picked up the scissors on the kang table and gave Aunt Yang to ...... The grandmother and girl in the house were frightened, and it was not until she stabbed several times that she came back to her senses, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull away, who thought that your eldest aunt didn't know if she was obsessed, but the six relatives didn't recognize who stabbed whom, and even her closest grandmother and personal girl were scratched by her......"
"What about two?" Yan Qi asked.
The two are Yan Zike's personal bodyguards for the eldest lady, and it stands to reason that they should not leave her side an inch.
"Later, it wasn't the two who rushed over to restrain the sister-in-law. Mrs. Yan sighed.
"How is the eldest aunt now?" Yan Qi asked.
"Let the two faint, now lying on the bed, the person has not woken up, the old lady is angry and anxious, and does not dare to make a noise, lest outsiders know, and now just waiting for your uncle to come back. As she spoke, Mrs. Yan took her children to the Fenghuang Dock where the eldest lady lived.
There is only one Mrs. Yan left in the long room, the eldest young master is traveling, the second girl has married a wife, the fourth young master and the fifth girl have been taken to the island, and the remaining third young master and the sixth girl are from Aunt Yang, she stabbed Aunt Yang into a serious injury, and now life and death are uncertain, and it is impossible to let the concubine and concubine let her mother run to serve her as the main mother, so when she entered the courtyard of Fenghuangwu, she looked depressed and cold everywhere.
Mrs. Yan was lying on the bed in a coma, her face was a little pale, but it didn't look serious, the mother and son of the second room went into the bedroom to look at it and came out, the second wife called the eldest lady's nurse Mama Gong to ask about the situation, but Yan Qi called the two flowers whose faces were whiter than the eldest lady to go outside the house.
"Why weren't you there at the time of the incident?" Yan Qi asked the two directly.
"Slave maid ......" The two bit their lips and knelt down with a puff, "Slave and maid should die, willing to accept the guilt!"
"Now it's not about your sin, it's about where you were at the time of it. Yan Qi looked at her, "Can't you say it?"
"Slave maid - slave maid - " The two hands trembled slightly, and one fell on the stone brick in front of Yan Qi's feet, "The slave maid was in the wife's Buddhist hall at that time......"
"What are you doing in the Buddha Hall?" Yan Qi asked.
"Nothing was done...... Just stay ......," the two said in a trembling voice.
"Take me to the Buddha Hall. "Yan Qidao.
The two didn't dare to say much, got up and took Yan Qi into the house, and walked straight to the back compartment, but was seen by Mama Gong, and hurriedly took a few steps over to stop her head: "Seventh girl, Mrs. needs to recuperate now, if there is anything wrong with the seventh girl, let's come back later!"
Yan Qi was about to speak, but he heard a rush of footsteps outside the door, seeing that it was the fourth young master Yan and the fifth girl Yan, thinking that they had got the news and hurriedly rushed back from the island, the fourth young master Yan rushed first, grabbed Mama Gong and asked urgently: "What's wrong with my mother?"
"Mrs. is asleep, just ...... inside" Mama Gong didn't dare to say "unconscious", for fear of scaring the little masters, and before she finished speaking, the fourth young master Yan had already strode into the room, and the fifth girl Yan ran into the house panting.
Mama Gong turned her head and said to Yan Qi: "Seventh girl, if you have something, please come back later!" Now there is ...... in this room" As she spoke, she pressed her eyes with a handkerchief, looking like she had been bullied by someone who had fallen into the well.
"Little Qi......" The second wife also glanced at Yan Qi.
Yan Qi looked at the fourth young master Yan who came out of the house with a sad face, and asked him, "When will the uncle come back?"
"When we received the news, my father was still in the palace, and I was afraid that he would not be able to come back for a while. Fourth Young Master Yan sighed.
"Then let's come back later," Yan Qidao said, "Two come with me, and I'll let Qiduo come over to replace her in a while." ”
"This ......" Although Mama Gong didn't know why Yan Qi wanted to change the two, she intuitively didn't want the second room to interfere in the affairs of the long room, so she stopped again, "After all, the two flowers were arranged by the master, and they are the wife's right-hand man, in case the wife wakes up for a while and wants to call the two, it is not good to go to the seventh girl to call someone now, no matter how capable the seven flowers are, they don't know the wife's habits better than the two flowers, and the seven girls have something to do, so it's better to wait......
"Fourth brother, I'll take the two first, I have something to ask her, is it okay?" Yan Qi ignored Mama Gong and went directly to ask Fourth Young Master Yan.
The eldest young master and the second girl were not there, and the fourth young master Yan, as a man, was the master of the long house, and almost without hesitation, he nodded his head - what Mama Gong had just said, he was not in the mood to listen to it at all, and when he saw that Yan Qi had a request, he immediately agreed, and Mama Gong wanted to stop again, but she was glanced at by this seventh lady lightly, and heard her say: "I took the two flowers, if there are any problems because of this, I will bear them." With that, he took two flowers and walked out of the door.
The second wife rarely sees a girl so strong, although she doesn't know why, but she can't weaken the girl's momentum, so she also said lightly to Mama Gong: "I have asked two big girls from the old lady's side, and there are four girls around me and a few old ladies in the house who can stand things up to the ground, and Lang Zhong, who went to invite, is also on the way to the island, I believe it is enough to cover the vacancy of the two flowers, Yigong Mama come to see, is there anything else I can't think about?"
This was a bit sharp, the flesh on Mama Gong's old face shook a few times, and the old lady moved out, how could she dare to say more than half a word, and if she continued to say more, wouldn't she become a person who disliked the old lady? I had to deal with it with a few words, and sent away the second wife and Young Master Yan Jiu, who had been watching coldly.
Yan Qi took the two flowers and didn't go to the Ziyanlu where the second room was located, nor did he go to the Flying Torii House, but went straight to Yan Zike's Tianshui Pavilion, and there was no one else on the boat, Yan Qi brought the two into the boat and asked her, "What is in the Buddha Hall of the eldest lady?"
"Nothing...... the two shook their heads.
"I believe in Uncle's employment and vision," Yan Qi looked at her, "He won't use people who are unreliable and have the potential to betray, and if the person he uses really has such a situation, I believe that there must be a force majeure force at work." And as far as I know, there is probably only one kind of force majeure that can make a dead man like you neglect your duties and lie in this world—two, have you smoked some kind of hallucinogenic thing?"
The two turned pale and knelt down in front of Yan Qi again: "The slave should be damned—but the slave didn't mean to ......"
"Don't say anything about admitting mistakes and regrets, you just need to tell me, how did you get it?" Yan Qi looked at her with dark eyes.
The two of them knelt on the ground, as if they were trying to calm down their fluctuating emotions, before they wanted to open their mouths, they heard someone knocking on the door and coming in, seeing that it was Young Master Yan Jiu, they raised their eyebrows slightly and looked at Yan Qi: "Don't mind if I listen to one or two." ”
"Come in, the door is closed. "Yan Qidao.
Young Master Yan Jiu closed the door casually, slowly paced in, sat down on the chair, and looked at the faces of the two flowers lightly: "Say." ”
The two didn't hide it any more, her master she understood, even if Yan Qi didn't ask, Yan Zike could still pull everything out of her mouth.
The truth is not far from the worst guess Yan Qi made. The two were arranged by Yan Zike to be next to the eldest lady, one to protect her safety, and the other to supervise her not to contact suspicious people and eat suspicious things. The two of them did not leave the side of the eldest lady, and it was okay in the Yan Mansion, because of the drinking water production channel, Yan Zike had already sent a special person to be responsible for guarding, and if they went outside, the two would strictly supervise and protect the eldest wife.
According to the two flowers, the eldest lady has nothing to do every day since she was forced to hand over the right to feed, and often goes out for a walk, but it seems to be counterproductive, and her mood becomes more and more irritable, and she often scolds the girls and even beats them, and sometimes vomits and has diarrhea and breaks down.
The eldest lady was extremely dissatisfied with the two flowers, but she could not get rid of the two flowers because of Yan Zike's order, and later simply passed them on by letter, going back and forth between her friends, because Yan Zike did not let the two flowers interfere with the eldest lady's private letters, and the two did not know what was written in those letters, but she insisted on being present when the eldest lady received the reply, in case the letter contained powder or pills.
In fact, there was nothing in the letters, and the eldest lady would burn them after reading them, and no one knew the contents of the letters. Within a few days, the eldest lady asked people to clean up a Buddhist hall in the room, saying that because of her poor health recently, she wanted to concentrate on worshipping the Buddha and praying for blessings and eliminating illness.
The two said that the furnishings in the Buddhist hall of the Yan Mansion in Beijing were extremely simple, the four walls were empty, not even the window sash, only a small vent, and then there was a Buddha statue, an offering table, several offerings, incense and candles, Dharma utensils and a futon and a small couch, those things are carefully inspected before moving into the Buddha hall, there is nothing unusual, the eldest lady is not allowed to follow her into the Buddha when she goes in to recite the Buddha, and because the eldest lady will bathe and change clothes under the personal supervision of the two before each worship Buddha, the two can be sure that she did not bring anything into the Buddhist hall, so they did not forcibly follow in, only outside the door of the Buddhist hall.
Since then, the eldest lady has a lot of time soaked in the Buddhist hall, two of them are guarding the door, and they can often hear the laughter of the eldest lady from inside, and sometimes they even hear the sound of her singing and dancing, and the two want to push the door in, but the eldest lady latches the door from the inside, and it is easy to stay quiet, and when she opens the door after a long time, it returns to its original appearance, and the two flowers say that the eldest lady is because everything is not going well at home, and she has too much depression in her heart, and she vents it out when she worships the Buddha, so she does not interfere too much,
Until one time the eldest lady seemed to be overly excited inside, she opened the door and walked out of the Buddhist hall, her clothes were disheveled and she was crazy, and it was a nonsense to catch the two flowers, and the two realized that something was wrong, because she was afraid that the eldest lady would have an accident, so she had to guard her first and did not dare to leave half a step.
After the eldest lady regained her consciousness, she learned that her ugly state was seen by the two flowers, so she took her into the Buddhist hall, crying and telling her that she was suffering from madness, and she was afraid to say it to others for fear of affecting her husband's reputation and the marriage of her children, so she built a Buddhist hall to restrain herself, and begged the two flowers not to tell Yan Zike about it for the time being, and then give her a few days to try to control herself, if not, let the two go to Yan Zike to talk, and before that, she begged the two to accompany her in the Buddhist hall and control her not to go crazy again。
The two flowers then responded, stayed in the Buddha hall to accompany the eldest wife, and the eldest lady also seemed to be sincere to the Buddha, kneeling on the futon to burn incense and chant the scriptures, chanting for a while, took out a piece of tin foil, asked two flowers to hold for her, and put a piece of incense cake on the paper, saying that it was a loose incense for worshiping the Buddha, and then, took a candle and burned it under the tin foil, saying that this is a high monk taught her the method of burning incense to expel the disease on her body......
The two were very uncomfortable with the smoke coming out of the fragrant cake, and insisted on burning it with the desire to vomit*, and for the next few days, the eldest lady had to let her help burn the incense every day, until one day the incense stopped, and after a few days, the two found themselves very eager to inhale the smell of the incense again......
"The eldest lady said that if the slave and maid told the third person about it, the slave and maid would never be able to breathe the incense again," the two voices said in a vain voice, "The slave and maid do not know why, but they can't control themselves no matter what, but if they leave the incense, life is better than death......
And just when the eldest lady stabbed Aunt Yang with scissors, the two were enjoying the incense in the Buddhist hall! 166 Reading Network
