Dazong Dynasty, the forty-sixth year of Emperor Jing

In the Jade Mansion of Huzhou, the lanterns are colorful and jubilant. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Yu is one of the largest households in Huzhou City, and he is bold and righteous. Today is the applause of Master Yu's 100-day banquet, and the guests passing through the house are endless. The guests were full of wine and food, the guests were happy, the guests said goodbye one after another, and Master Yu personally stood at the door to see off the guests. When I saw the old man and the young man dressed up walking out with the crowd, my heart jumped, and I subconsciously glanced around. Then he resumed his smiling face and said goodbye to the oncoming masters. No one noticed that the elder beside Master Yu quietly left with Xue Kui.

"Oh, okay, okay, mother's good baby won't cry. Mrs. Yu walked back and forth in the house with the little person in her arms, gently coaxing the crying child.

"Oh, what's wrong with Xin'er?" After Master Yu entered the house, he heard the child's cry, asked anxiously, walked a few steps to his wife, saw the fine sweat on his wife's forehead, and reached out to take his daughter, "Come, daddy hug." Are you hungry? Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry. ”

"Hey, I don't know what's wrong with this kid. I started crying from the end of the banquet and didn't eat breastfeeding. Mrs. Yu shook her arms and looked at the tears on the child's face, feeling distressed and helpless.

Listening to his wife's words, Master Yu's heart tightened, and he had a feeling that he couldn't speak. On his lips, he comforted his wife and said: "It may be that there are many people surprised today, it's okay, you take a rest, I'll hold it." ”

Madame Yu sat down on the chair, took Yuliu's tea, took a few sips and put it down. Yuliu has delicate eyebrows and a bean paste mole at the corner of her mouth. Mrs. Yu saw her slightly bulging belly, and said softly: "Okay, you are also tired for a day, go back early." ”

"Alright, let's go back. When Xue Kui came back, let him go back earlier. Seeing that Yuliu was about to refuse, Master Yu commanded loudly.

"Mrs. Xie, sir. Yuliu couldn't excuse herself anymore, and went out with a smile and a salute.

Xin'er has been crying for so long, and she is sweating, so she changed her clothes, and she is not comfortable thinking about it. Mrs. Yu wiped the tears and sweat on her daughter's face with a handkerchief, and said softly.

"It's fine. Master Yu handed the child in his arms to Yuzhi, took the tea handed by Mrs. Yu, and sat on the chair.

The subordinates of the Yu family were busy cleaning the banquet hall, and the housekeeper's mother instructed a few little girls to take out the dishes and brush them.

"Bang-" The gate of the Jade Mansion was suddenly kicked open, and a group of people dressed as bandits rushed in. The leader's eyes swept around, and when he raised it, he slashed at those who were close.

"Ahh

In the main room, Yuzhi changed Lan Xin's clothes in the side room, and was gently wiping her face with a wet handkerchief, maybe she was tired of crying, the little girl dozed off with her eyes closed, and her little nose was still inhaling.

"Master, master, no, no, it's not good・・・・・・" Before the outside housekeeper finished speaking, he heard a "poof", and then, several strange heavy footsteps sounded.

"Who are you?" in broad daylight・・・・・・・・ "Master Jade's voice stopped abruptly, "Ah-" Then came the screams of Lady Jade. Yuzhi trembled in her heart, hurriedly picked up the child in front of her, and hurriedly hid in the mezzanine of the wardrobe. Watching a pair of black boots walking back and forth in front of the closet, Yuzhi bit her lip tightly, for fear that she would make a little noise.

"Big brother, I didn't find it. ”

"Big brother, no. ”

"Withdraw, light the fire!" the leader commanded after a moment of deep thought.

The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and thick black smoke filled the entire room, and Yuzhi covered Xiao Lanxin's mouth and nose with a wet handkerchief, and slowly crawled out.

In the woods outside the city. Xue Kui handed the package in his hand to the old man dressed as a long man, and said, "Sir, I can only send it here." This is what my lord prepared for the two of you, and all the medicine of my son is here. ”

The old man glanced at the son beside him, and the child's face was pale, obviously very weak. It's just that this person's eyes are bright, but he can't see joy or anger. The old man sighed silently, took the package, and said softly: "Thank you for us, master, ・・・・・・ in the future."

"Brother Xue Kui, look, it's on fire!" the people around Xue Kui suddenly shouted.

When a few people looked up, they saw that the city was in flames and black smoke. "Jade Mansion ・・・・・・" Xue Kui said with a trembling voice as he looked at the direction of the fire. Regardless of the rules and etiquette, he turned around and ran back.

A red sun breaks through the mist and rises. As the red sun rises, the earth gradually brightens. "Dong-" With the sound of the bell in Qingyun Temple, the white mist shrouded in the top of Qingyun Mountain dissipated one by one, and the birds opened their eyes, some were busy combing their feathers, and some were flapping their wings to go out of the nest to feed. "Knock-" The bell woke up Qingyun Mountain, and also woke up the people who rushed to worship under the mountain.

"Hurry up, get up, it's dawn!" Under a big tree, Zhou Dahai, dressed in blue coarse cloth clothes and pants, rubbed his sleepy eyes, saw the crowd rushing to the mountain, and anxiously pushed his wife beside him.

After Liu, who was sleeping soundly against the trunk of the tree, was awakened, he subconsciously tightened the package in his arms and asked in confusion: "What's wrong, what's wrong?"

"It's dawn, hurry up the mountain!" Zhou Dahai stood up, urging while pulling the coarse cloth jacket on his body.

"Ahh

Zhou Dahai and Liu are villagers in Lingxian County, more than 20 miles away from here, the two raise silkworms and weave cloth, and their lives are quite comfortable, but the two have been married for more than four years, and they still have no children. For this reason, the two sought medical advice everywhere, but there was still no good news.

Master Sifeng is an enlightened monk of the Dazong Dynasty, who travels everywhere and his whereabouts are uncertain. Recently, he traveled here and preached for three days, attracting countless people to come here to worship and listen to the scriptures. Powerful people will book a meditation room in Qingyun Temple in advance and listen to Master Sifeng's lectures and sermons. Ordinary people can only wait for the third day to go up the mountain to ask for a sign and ask the Buddha, and after handing over the incense money, they can ask the master of Sifeng to unsign for it.

The two of the Liu family were eager to ask for a son, and with all the savings of the family, they came to the foot of Qingyun Mountain to wait the day before, for fear of missing the opportunity for Master Sifeng to unsign.

Liu respectfully put the incense money in the merit box, picked up the incense on the table, bowed respectfully three times, inserted the incense into the incense burner, closed his eyes, and drew out a lot in a trembling manner.

A young Taoist boy led her outside a meditation room and motioned for her to wait outside the door. After the people inside came out, they led Liu in. Liu put the sweaty, somewhat wet hexagram on the desk next to Master Sifeng, took a step back, hung his head, and waited there respectfully.

Master Sifeng was dressed in a dusty robe, his face was calm, and his eyes were unwavering, sitting there as steady as Mount Tai. Picked up Liu's hexagram, glanced at it, and said in a calm voice: "If you want to have a son, you must first accept a daughter." As he spoke, the master glanced at Liu, who was standing respectfully beside him, confused, his eyes paused, then he regained his composure, and then said: "There is a certain number in the dark, everything can be natural." As he spoke, he put the hexagram aside.

Liu knew that this was Master Sifeng going to send off guests. Although Liu still had doubts in his heart, he still bowed respectfully and turned to leave. When the door of the meditation room was about to close, the calm voice of Master Sifeng came: "Right and wrong, advance or retreat are only in one thought." ”

Looking at the solemn Liu, Zhou Dahai hurriedly greeted him and asked nervously, "How is it, what does the master say?"

Liu shook it, and then said the master's words to Zhou Dahai. The two of them talked as they walked, and until they reached the bottom of the mountain, they didn't understand the meaning of Master Sifeng. "Hey, don't think about it, didn't the master say, if you want to go with the flow, let's go with the flow. Zhou Dahai sighed and said helplessly.

"Master, look at it!" Liu suddenly grabbed Zhou Dahai and pointed to the front and said.

Zhou Dahai's footsteps paused and looked at Liu's hand. I saw a man lying on the side of the road not far ahead, a woman to be exact. There is a package next to the woman, although it is not real, but judging from the shape of the package, it should be a child.

The two of them glanced at each other, and they both saw the shock on each other's faces. The two supported each other, subconsciously lightened their steps, and walked over slowly. When he got closer, Liu's eyes were attracted by the cute baby girl in the quilt. The baby girl was about two or three months old, with her eyes closed, and seemed to be sleeping deeply. "If you want to have a son, you must first take a daughter. Master Sifeng's calm voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Hmm--" The woman lying next to the baby girl suddenly muttered. Although the voice was very small, it startled Liu, and she looked at the woman on the ground with some weakness, only to see that the messy hair covered the woman's entire face, making it impossible to see her appearance clearly. But it can be seen from the muslin on the woman's body that the woman's family background should be very good.

The woman looked at the two Liu with gloomy eyes, and pleaded weakly: "Child, child, please save ・・・・・ save the child・・・・・・・・・・・..."

Liu listened to the woman's weaker and weaker cough, took a deep breath, pulled the silver ticket in the woman's hand, picked up the baby girl, turned around and left. Zhou Dahai was taken aback by Liu's one-way action, and after reacting, he left a sentence, "Don't worry, we will take care of the child." He also left in a hurry.

"Ahem, ahem・・・・・" The woman coughed even more, her hand trembling and reaching out in the direction the child had left, and finally drooped weakly.

"Yuzhi, Yuzhi, how are you. Yuliu came out from behind the tree and shouted anxiously, she squatted down, picked up the jade branch on the ground, and let her lean on her body, so that it would be more comfortable, "Yuzhi, Yuzhi..." Yuliu had mixed feelings at this time, and she didn't know what to say.

"Yuliu. Yuzhi patted her hand, comforted silently, and turned slightly sideways, so as not to press the bulging lower abdomen, tried to suppress the dry cough, and asked wheezing: "Is someone ・・・・・ someone to follow?"

"Well, don't worry. Xue Kui went in person, and he would definitely not lose the girl. Yuliu nodded and said, "Yuzhi, are we right, in case ・・・・・・・"

Yuzhi interrupted Yuliu and said: "Yuliu, Yufu was suddenly attacked by bandits, and the lord and lady were buried in the fire, so we can only make this decision to protect the girl." When Xue Kui comes back, you will find a place to settle down, and by the way, you will guard the family business for the girl, and I will personally guard the young lady's side・・・・・・・" said with another dry cough.
