Because it came early, after Mrs. Qin went to the first pillar of incense, Zhu followed the second pillar of incense, and after the incense, Mrs. Qin led Zhu to see the abbot, originally Zhu only made up a dream in order to climb the relationship with the Qin family, and she could only say the dream again to the abbot, but fortunately, the abbot did not say anything else, only said that this is the Buddha's guidance to her, so that she should be sincere to the Buddha in the future, do more good deeds, Zhu is grateful to seal the rich sesame oil money, and listen to the abbot for a long time Zen, before leaving the abbot's room. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When he came out, it was already lunch time, and Yao Keqing deliberately left the meal of the Dabei Temple that the Zhu family ate as he wished, and he only felt that the taste was mediocre and nothing special. After the meal, Mrs. Qin invited Mrs. Zhu to sit in the courtyard where she was resting for a while, and the Zhu family was naturally overjoyed to go with Mrs. Qin, and Yao Keqing took her younger brother back to the courtyard where Yao's house rested under the pretext of making up for sleep.

Because now that their sister and brother are older, they are not as close as they used to be in front of outsiders, but fortunately, Yao Qishen has become a lot more sensible in recent years, and gradually understands the embarrassing position of their sister and brother in the mansion, and has become much more secure in their actions, and they also understand Yao Keqing's behavior with him that seems to be not as close as before, so they went back to the house to rest.

After taking a nap, Yao Keqing felt much better, and went to Zhu's house only to find that Zhu hadn't come back yet, and was about to ask where she went, when Chunxiang beside Zhu's side came to pass the word, "Mrs. Qin left Mrs. Qin to talk with her, and Mrs. said that if the second lady and the third young master feel bored, they can go to the lotus pond in the back mountain to enjoy the lotus." ”

"I see! Go and serve your mother! After sending away Chunxiang, Yao Qishen came, and when he heard that there were lotus flowers to see, he was also very moved, "Sister, didn't you let me learn to paint?" We went to see the lotus flowers, and when we got home, I drew a lotus picture for my sister! Because they all advocate versatile talents at the moment, although Yao Keqing doesn't want his younger brother to learn everything, he must always have two kinds of talents, so he asked him to learn to paint, after all, she herself is also a person who is good at painting, and she can mention him on the side.

"Good! Do you have to remember, don't forget? Yao Keqing pulled Yao Qishen and talked to him while walking towards the back mountain.

"Don't worry! Sister, I must have drawn a picture that looks better than real flowers! "Yao Qishen's painting skills have improved very quickly, and he has only studied for more than a year, and he has already achieved a little success, so it is inevitable that he will be a little complacent.

Arrived at the back mountain, I saw a stone tablet standing next to the lotus pond, the book "view the lotus pond" three words, the word is written in cursive, this stone tablet should have stood here for a long time, often touched by people, the tablet surface is already smooth as a mirror.

The reason why the lotus pond is called the lotus pond is because a lotus viewing platform was built on the lotus pond, and when he stepped into the lotus viewing platform, Yao Keqing found that there were people on the platform, it was a seven or eight year old, a little girl in plain clothes sat on the bench under the railing, just now she was blocked by the pillars of the pavilion, and she came up to find out. The little girl who was looking at the lotus pond and weeping silently heard the footsteps behind her, and hurriedly wiped her tears and turned around, and saw that it was a little girl who was taller than herself and a boy of the same age as herself.

Yao Keqing saw that the little girl saluted herself, so she also returned the salute, but she was already hiding, afraid that she didn't see her salute. Yao Keqing saw that the little girl was wearing plain clothes, and she was crying so sadly, she guessed that she probably lost her loved ones, but she didn't see anyone around her, which was strangely tight.

Yao Qishen saw that they were sad when they bumped into other girls, and he was also a little uncomfortable, so he pulled Yao Keqing and said in a low voice: "Sister, let's go down and see!" Don't bother people! ”

Before Yao Keqing could speak, the little girl hurriedly said: "Don't bother the two of you, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first!" Saying that, getting up and leaving, Yao Keqing was in a hurry and didn't have time to speak, so he reached out and grabbed her, but he heard her "hiss", and the expression on his face was also very painful, Yao Keqing hurriedly let go, she retracted her arm, Yao Keqing vaguely saw a bruise on her arm from the plain cuffs, and her heart was suddenly shocked.

When the little girl saw Yao Keqing's surprised expression, she knew that she had seen her injury, and she was a little ashamed and bitter in her heart, and she gritted her teeth and was about to leave, but she heard someone behind her stop her, "This young lady, please stay!" He had to stop, but he didn't turn around.

Seeing her stop, Yao Keqing said again: "This Guanlian Terrace is not anyone's house, without our sister and brother coming, we will drive away Miss, Miss just stay!" ”

The little girl shook her head and said, "I'm just thinking about something to myself!" Now that things have been figured out, I should also go, so I won't disturb your Yaxing! ”

"We are just bored, just come to the back mountain to pass the time to escape the heat, now the heat is in full swing, the back mountain is still some distance from the front hall, go back at this time, I'm afraid it's going to be sunburned, it's better to rest here first, and it's not too late to go when the sun goes down!" Yao Keqing pointed to the bench opposite and said. Because he bumped into other people's sad things, discovered other people's secrets, and wanted to drive people away, Yao Keqing felt a little unhappy.

The little girl looked at the sun and was a little troubled, but thinking that there was a foreign man here, it would not be good for others to see it, so she made up her mind that it was better to go, and was about to speak, but someone behind her handed a hat over, she couldn't help but look up, but saw a pair of eyes as black as ink.

Yao Keqing saw her hesitation and guessed her taboo, so he took off his hat and handed it over, she hesitated for a moment and then took it, "My name is Tao Jingrou!" ”

"My name is Yao Keqing!" Yao Keqing really felt that it was a good thing to have a good memory at this time, because she had already remembered Tao Jingrou when she said her name, and speaking of which, she was also a sensation in Beijing at the beginning.

Like herself, she lost her mother early, but her father gave her a stepmother during the period of filial piety, this stepmother is a powerful one, she grabbed her father as soon as she entered the door, and later gave birth to a son, and her position was even more stable. In order not to let her stepson come out, the stepmother set a very undignified family affair for her brother, but she used her own family affair to exchange for a good family affair for her brother, and soon after her brother's family affair was set, she married Chong Xi, and it didn't take long for her husband to be gone, and her in-laws intended to make it difficult for her, she actually twisted her hair to be a sister-in-law, and she was only twelve or thirteen years old at that time! Later, she practiced Buddhism, but in just two or three years, she became the first person to be invited by large families to preach Buddhism. This incident caused a great sensation in Beijing at that time, and before he got married, Xiao Miao always took this matter and said in his ear, just wanting to marry him as soon as possible! But fortunately, she nagged in her ear, otherwise she wouldn't be able to remember Tao Jingrou!

Now that I think about it, in addition to pitying her life experience, I also admire her courage to let go. Because Yao Keqing was thinking about things, and Yao Qishen didn't have the habit of talking to people, the scene calmed down suddenly, and Tao Jingrou had to find a topic to say, "I lost my temper just now, and I was rude in front of Miss Yao!" ”

"It's nothing! Everyone has a sad time! Yao Keqing waved his hand, and then said, "Miss Tao is dressed like this, but who is she paying tribute to?" ”

Tao Jingrou's eyes turned red, "It's the dead mother!" Today is the death day of my deceased mother, three years after her death! Because my father is still here, I can't die for my mother for three years, so I have to come here secretly to worship! I lit an everlasting lamp for my mother in the Great Compassion Temple, and I came over today to add some sesame oil by the way! In the past, when my mother was there, she often brought my brother and me to the Great Compassion Temple......"

Yao Keqing comforted: "The deceased is gone!" Please also ask Miss Tao to mourn! The dead relatives all hope that the living can live well, and Miss Tao should take care of herself for her mother! ”

Tao Jingrou wiped her tears and said, "Thank you, Miss Yao!" I know that I want to live well, and my mother told me before she died, she wants me to take good care of my brother, and I can't ignore my mother's last wish! ”

Yao Qishen suddenly interjected: "Sister, did my mother let my sister take good care of me before she died, so my sister was so good to me?" ”

Yao Keqing shook his head and said, "When my mother died, I was still young, where do I remember what my mother said, my sister is good to you, just because you are my younger brother, I am your sister!" That's all! ”

When Tao Jingrou heard this, she said with some embarrassment: "I didn't know that you were ...... Like me, it's mine, it's not mine, and it's ...... harm you."

Yao Keqing intercepted her words, "My mother has passed away for many years, although our sisters and brothers all regret the death of our mother, but we must support each other and live well!" We also have a new mother, so naturally we have to live better! "In the previous life, I didn't live well, I lost my brother in the calculations of others, and I lost my own life. Compared with Tao Jingrou in front of her, she is lucky, she has the opportunity to live a new life, but Tao Jingrou has to face the ending of the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha for a lifetime, Yao Keqing felt pity for someone other than his younger brother for the first time.

Speaking of the new mother, Tao Jingrou's expression darkened, "I also have a new mother......

Seeing Tao Jingrou's expression, and combined with what he heard in his previous life, Yao Keqing understood in his heart that he was eight or nine points, but he was not sure yet, but since he had already given birth to the intention of helping her, he naturally wanted to explain his words, "Why is the injury on your hand okay?" ”

Tao Jingrou's face turned white and she was silent.

Yao Keqing said again: "If you don't say it, I can guess a few points!" It's just that...... Did you just accept your fate? From what she learned in her previous life, her stepmother was definitely not a good person, and Tao Jingrou definitely didn't have a good life under her.

Tao Jingrou was silent for a long time, she didn't want to accept her fate, but she had no choice, she was isolated at home, even her own brother...... Looking at the brilliance in Yao Keqing's eyes, she was very envious, they had the same fate, but she was better off than herself.

Tao Jingrou is just a child, and she is usually bullied and ruthless, but at this time, someone cares about her, so she can't help but tell the truth, "...... Because I occupy the position of the eldest daughter, she treats me without even caring about face, openly and secretly instigating the sister-in-law and sister-in-law in the family to discord with me, and the teaching in the family boudoir has also benefited from her, and always makes it extra difficult for me, the injury on my arm is pinched by the teaching, if I dare to refute, she will say that I can't learn well by myself, is it possible that others can't teach me? …… I know that she is because her brother has moved to the outer courtyard, and she can't do anything with her brother, so she can only take out her anger on me...... Actually, it's okay, I'm used to it, and she doesn't have any other way, I can always deal with it. ”

Yao Keqing listened, but he was surprised, Xiao Miao's family is still a good face, and he can never find fault on the surface; But her stepmother is really a little lacking in bearing, and she dares to use such a method! is accustomed to Xiao Miao's obscure methods, and Yao Keqing is really helpless against this kind of direct persecution.

Tao Jingrou felt that she shouldn't say this, after all, it was a family ugly thing to say, and it was always shameless. It's just that she has been oppressed for a long time, and just after Yao Keqing broke it, she couldn't help but spit out her bitterness.

At this time, there was a sudden voice behind him, "There!" ”
