Chapter 187: Keep everything a widow should keep
The old lady slept late last night, got up early and got up late, Lan Yi and Xiuqing waited on the corridor for a long time, and after the door of the upper room was pushed open, Cui Xi came out and said: "The old lady said that her hair has not been combed well, please ask the young lady and the fourth girl to go back, and I don't need to say hello to her today." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
It is a common practice to set the province in the morning and dusk, and Lan Yi came this morning for the sake of Miao Chang, thinking that he shouldn't take the lead in this matter, so he simply took Xiuqing to Yilan Garden.
As soon as the two of them left, the Zheng family came again, and the old lady still asked Cui Xi to drive her away for the same reason.
The repairer in the room was mixing honey for the old lady, which was used to accompany the rice, and seeing that the old lady had sent away all the male protagonists and children who had asked her to say goodbye, she smiled and said, "What's the matter this morning, none of the good ones are gone." ”
The old lady looked at Qiao Xi in the bronze mirror and neatly tied her hair in a bun, and sighed lightly: "I didn't sleep well last night, I have been thinking about Miao Chang, you said that the monks and nuns in the temple are not all perennial vegetarians, why not only do people not faint, but also have a strong body and live a hundred years old, and many monks can still produce relics after death." ”
Xiu Zhen's hand holding the spoon stopped, according to the old lady's personality, if she knew that Miao Chang was pregnant, it would be light to give Miao Chang a fetus, and it would be heavy Maybe a bowl of wine would be poisoned, in her heart, nothing is more important than the face of the public loser, because she has always felt that the public loser is a royal family, and the public loser will be able to control the pole immediately, and she will never ruin the reputation of the public loser because of a daughter with a foreign surname.
It is precisely because of this understanding that he is afraid of repairing the basket and returning to normalcy in an instant: " You also know that the monks and nuns in the temple, except for those who sincerely advocate Buddhism and work hard to practice, there are only a few ways to come, one is that the family is poor and can't afford to send it to the temple, and they are well fed and clothed, and the other is that they have offended someone on the rivers and lakes to hunt down and kill the enemy, and they have nowhere to hide in the temple to hide, and the three are disheartened and have no courage to hang themselves with a rope, and the monk has six clean, but our eldest lady is everyone's lady, can you compare with those people, the eldest lady has a small appetite, look at the thin like a thin bamboo pole. ”
After combing her hair, Qiaoxi took the mirror and looked at the old lady before and after, the old lady waved her hand to signal her to step back, and then said, "What you said seems to be like that." ”
Xiu Ji brought the prepared honey to her, the old lady took it and took a sip, looking at the girls and mothers-in-law picking up breakfast on the dining table for her, after eating two mouthfuls of honey to moisten her stomach, she moved to the dining table, just picked up the fried steamed bread slices, Cui Xi came in and said: "Old lady, Master Jingfan of Leaky Moon Nunnery is here." ”
The old lady was slightly stunned, worried that her eldest daughter's body was in trouble again, so she hurriedly put the steamed bun slices back on the plate and nodded to Cuixi.
Cui Xi turned around and went out to lure Jing Fan in, bypassing the huge mica screen, and the old lady was relieved when she saw Jing Fan's gentle steps and her face was as usual.
Pure and dusty, quiet and introverted, he said to the old lady: "Old lady, the layman has something to discuss with you, I don't know if Xiao Ni will relay it to you at this time, or wait for you to go to the Leaky Moon Nunnery to listen to the layman himself." ”
Since the maid can play, it shouldn't be a big deal, the old lady said, "You can talk about it." ”
Jingfan hung his head and was extremely respectful: "The layman said that she had not made much progress in practicing in the Leaky Moon Nunnery for so long, and wanted to go to the Qingyan Temple in Shu to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures." ”
The old lady of Qingyan Temple has heard of it, one of the top temples in this dynasty, the host Li Qingyan is said to be two hundred years old now, because she has the principle of true Buddha, so the first emperor named the temple after her, and it is a good thing that the daughter wants to go there to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures, but the old lady has doubts, and looks sideways at Xiu Zhen and says: "Miao Chang is weak, Qingyan Temple is so far away, can her body withstand it?"
This is all discussed with Lan Yi and Gong Tuo, Xiu Zhen said: "In my opinion, the body of the eldest lady needs to move around more, and in our house will be raised to fall apart, you look at those masters who practice on the mountain, every day they carry water, chop firewood, plant vegetables, and turn their fate, all of them are strong, so people can live a long life, sit down, and produce relics." ”
Generally, the old lady agrees very much, not to mention that she said very reasonably, the old lady said to Jingfan: "Okay, go back and tell you the layman, I agree to this matter, but how to go, I have to think about it carefully, so far, my daughter is expensive." ”
He gave a salute and withdrew.
As for how to go, Xiu Ji and Lan Yi also discussed, and suggested to the old lady at the moment: "You are now letting the young lady be in charge, should the eldest lady also invite the young lady to discuss this matter?"
The old lady had no objection: "Okay." ”
Lan Yi was invited, first pretending to hear that Miao Chang was leaving home, and then very much agreed with Miao Chang's idea: "Confined to the family, it is like a car behind closed doors, if the eldest sister goes to Qingyan Temple, and there is a master as high as Li Qingyan to help her, the eldest sister may become a master in the future." ”
The old lady smiled, smiling quite reluctantly: "Where do I dare to expect her to become a master, she can spend the rest of her life peacefully, my wish is fulfilled." ”
Lan Yi knew, and Xiu Zhen also knew, that her so-called peace and tranquility was to keep everything that a widow should keep.
Talking about how Miao Chang would go, Lan Yi pretended to think about it, and then said: "The eldest sister is a daughter, and someone must escort her." ”
The old lady immediately said: "That's natural, I plan to send half of the nursing home at home, and Wu Song will personally lead it." ”
Xiu Zhen looked at Lan Yi suddenly, his expression was not flustered, but he was also a little embarrassed.
Lan Yi had expected this matter a long time ago, thinking that if he blindly opposed the Hou Mansion's nursing home, he was afraid that the old lady would be suspicious, so he first praised and then praised and then degraded: "Wu Song is conscientious, but he is a reliable person, and our nursing home is also well-trained, but ......"
There was a long pause, then a state of endless contemplation.
The old lady waited for her next step, and when she saw that she was slow to speak, she asked anxiously, "But what?"
Lan Yi frowned and said: "Nine times out of ten, the nursing homes at home are young and strong, Wu Song doesn't seem to be married, this is not close to Qingyan Temple, I am not worried that Wu Song and those nursing homes will be bad to the big sister, Wu Song was personally hired by the Hou Ye, and the nursing home was carefully trained by Wu Song, they have always been respectful and well-behaved when they see the female dependents of the family, I am just afraid that so many men will gossip with them." ”
The old lady thought for a while, and suddenly slapped her thigh and suddenly realized: "My God, don't you say that I forgot about this stubble." ”
Suddenly, his brows sank, and he said with anxiety on his face: "Don't let the nursing home send it, just a few girls and mothers-in-law, you can pick it, and you can carry it, but it's sinister outside, what if you meet a wicked person?"
Lan Yi didn't answer her words, continued to pretend to ponder, and raised his head happily for a long time: "I remember, didn't we use the World Dart Bureau to escort Aunt Liu, why don't we use the World Dart Bureau to escort the big sister." ”
