Chapter 15: Chance Encounters
"Ninth girl, the second lady asked if you were okay, did you bump into it?" asked Xiangjun, the eldest girl beside the Li family, respectfully outside the carriage. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Xiangjun's original name was Qingxiao, and the Li family thought that the name Qingxiao was really too miserable, so he personally named her, Xiangjun.
She was originally a poor and talented daughter, her father was seriously ill, and the family scraped together some money for treatment, but she still couldn't escape the word "death".
By the time Qingxiao bought his father's coffin, there was no more valuable things in the house, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it as a family with four walls. My mother cried bitterly day after day because of her father's death, and she worked day and night to make embroidery for the family, and she burned a pair of eyes. Qingxiao looked at the old mother at home and the younger brother who was still holding her sleeve to find her father, and resolutely decided to sell her body to bury her father.
It is also a coincidence that at that time, Li's son Cui Wei was seriously ill, and many doctors were not well, so he had no choice but to hope for the Buddha. On the way back home, he happened to meet Qingxiao, who was selling his body, and was bullied by the ruffian, and Li wanted to accumulate kindness for his son, so he asked Qingxiao to save him, not only did he not want her to sell himself, but also gave her a sum of money to bury her father.
Qingxiao is also a grateful and dead-hearted person, so if she has to follow the Li family, the Li family has to bring her into the Cui Mansion. Qingxiao is the daughter of Xiucai, and she was also taught by her father to read and write on weekdays, and she is much smarter than ordinary servants, so she relied on her intelligence to achieve the position of the big girl of the Li family step by step.
This Xiangjun is loyal to the Li family, but Cui Jiayin frowned, why did he do such a thing in his previous life?
Xu is seeing that Cui Jiayin didn't answer for a long time, Xiangjun's voice was a little eager, "Nine girls, nine girls, are you okay?"
This is the treasure on the tip of Mrs. Zheng's heart, if something happens, it will be difficult for the Li family to explain!
Xiangjun's voice brought Cui Jiayin's thoughts back to reality, she leaned over slightly, lifted the curtain, and revealed a face that was happy and disgusting, she smiled and said to Xiangjun: "Sister Xiangjun, I'm fine, are the second aunt and the sixth sister okay?"
Hearing Cui Jiayin say that it was okay, Xiangjun's heart was also relieved, this time he went to the temple to pray for blessings and wishes, if something happened on the road, this sign was not very good.
"The lady and the girl are all right, but the carriage has been jolted so hard that they are a little frightened. Xiangjun said: "It rained yesterday, and there were a few puddles on the road ahead. The coachman didn't pay attention, so he fell in, and it will be fine in a while, and the wife will let the girl rest for a while, or let the sixth girl talk to you. ”
"I see," Cui Jiayin nodded, but still rejected Li's kindness, "Don't bother the sixth sister, I'll just rest here, thank the second aunt for me." ”
Xiangjun saw that Cui Jiayin insisted on this, so he didn't persuade him, and blessed his body, so he walked to the carriage in front of him.
The moment Cui Jiayin lowered the curtain, she saw a familiar figure, her movements preceded her consciousness, and she lowered the curtain before she had time to think. She leaned stiffly against the carriage, breathing softly, as if she feared that the slightest gasp would attract the attention of others.
Although she knew that no matter what she did, she could not control her movements, the two of them had a bad relationship from their previous lives, and no matter how hard she tried to avoid it, she was powerless to prevent the predetermined fate.
That person was Zhao Xian.
It was the Zhao Xian who made Cui Jia want to drink his blood and eat his flesh.
Cui Jiayin, who has been reborn since her rebirth, has worked hard to do everything, and she thought that if she saw Zhao Xian again, she would definitely not reveal half of her emotions. Unexpectedly, she still couldn't do it. She will never forget the dark days of her previous life, and she will never forget the tragic death of her family members who have been a noble person all her life, and she has been a repudiated sinner, and she has never even had the last dignity......
She raised her head and forced the tears back into her eyes, looked at the side with red eyes and wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, looked at Zhu and Chengbi with a worried and anxious face, and showed a weak smile, "It's just that the wind and sand on the road have blinded her eyes, and it's not in the way." ”
Seeing that Zhu and the others knew that Cui Jiayin said this just because they were afraid that they would be worried, although they didn't understand why Cui Jiayin's mood suddenly changed drastically, they didn't ask, but said gently: "Girl, it's still a long time before you get to Ganzhe Temple, you can rest for a while, and when it's time, the slave maid will call the girl up again, okay?"
The carriage in Cui's Mansion is huge, and everything is complete, so it's completely okay to lie down and take a nap. Cui Jiayin thought about it, but still couldn't bear to disappoint Zhu and them, so he lay down obediently, closed his eyes and rested for a while.
In just three quarters of an hour, the carriage arrived at Ganzhe Temple. Cui Jiayin took Cheng Bi's hand and carefully got out of the carriage, looked up at the long staircase paved with bluestone in the bamboo forest, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Most of the ladies believed in Buddhism, such as Mrs. Zheng, Lu and Li, etc., Cui Jia was influenced by the elders, although he did not know much about Buddhism, but he also held a reverent attitude of "I would rather believe in what is there than believe in nothing". She has recited many Buddhist scriptures for what she wants, visited many temples, and often washed her hands and burned incense when she was upset, and copied one or two volumes of Buddhist scriptures to meditate.
Others say that the Buddha seeks the next life, and the Tao cultivates this life.
Cui Jiayin felt a little credible, perhaps because the Buddha took pity on her miserable previous life and deliberately left her such an opportunity to make up for the sins of her previous life. Thinking about it like this, the depression and panic that happened to see Zhao Xian were swept away, replaced by expectations for the future and courage that rose from the bottom of his heart.
Seeing that Zhu and Cheng Bi quietly looked at Cui Jiayin's expression, and found that the confusion and pain on her face were gone, they quietly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and the two exchanged a look and smiled at each other. As slaves and maids, they most hope that their masters will be good, and only when their masters are good can they be good.
Li and Cui Jiashan were waiting for her in front, she took Zhu Chengbi and the two hurriedly forward, Li saw her, and hurriedly asked: "Ah Heng, is there anything uncomfortable? You have always been weak, don't be sick by the bumps of the carriage and horses." ”
Although Cui Jiashan didn't speak, the worry in his eyes was also full, obviously worried that her illness was not getting better, Cui Jiayin's heart was warm, and he smiled gently, "Second aunt, where am I so delicate? It's just half an hour's road, I can still stand it." ”
Cui Jiashan smiled and said, "Mother, you are really, Ah Heng is the kind of person who blows down when the wind blows!"
Li Shi also smiled when he heard this, and said: "It's that I'm too worried, but ah, it's better to be careful, we have to live in this temple for three or four days, there is no doctor in the temple, only the host is a little medical, if you are sick, it is not easy to do." ”
Cui Jiayin nodded yes.
