Chapter 64: Meditation

Li Xiaonuan's face turned pale a little, her thinking, her thoughts, and this world There are too many gaps that she didn't realize, subconsciously, she regarded Chunqiao's matter as just a lost love that she didn't know, and if she betrayed, she had to put it aside, review it herself, and start over again, it's not a big deal.

But the men and women in this world only have marriage, not love

Knowing this, she should have asked Chunqiao to go to Steward Liu, not Liu Yuanhai

Li Xiaonuan's hands were twisted together, her body trembled slightly, looked at Mrs. Li, and said sadly:

"Ancestor, it's me who hurt Chunqiao."

"It's no wonder to you, in the final analysis, it's all her own disrespect, her daughter's family can't control it, and she broke the rules, which one didn't hurt herself in the end? Don't think too much about it.

It's just that if there is anything in the future, remember to tell the ancestors that there are rules in the house, and if something happens, you can deal with it wherever you can, you tolerate the next Chunqiao today, and tomorrow others will make a mistake, will you punish or spare? If you are only tolerant, there will be hundreds of people up and down in this family, won't it be chaotic? If you get married in the future and become a housewife, this reward and punishment must be based on the rules and be clear, but you can't rely on your own temperament. ”

Mrs. Li patted Li Xiaonuan lightly, and explained gently, Li Xiaonuan drooped tears, stood up and knelt in front of the couch, looked up at Mrs. Li, and said in a low voice:

"The teachings of the ancestors, Xiao Nuan has written them down."

Mrs. Li stretched out her hand to pull Li Xiaonuan up, pulled her to sit on the couch, sighed and said:

"Although you are smart, you are younger in the end, and you naturally need to be taught more by your elders in everything in order to be sensible and sensible, and this matter will be in the past, so don't think about it anymore."

Li Xiaonuan shrugged her shoulders, hung her head, was silent for a moment, looked up at Old Madam Li and said sadly:

"I understand what my ancestors said, but I'm still very sad in my heart, ...... Chunqiao"

Li Xiaonuan paused, bit her lip and said:

"As soon as I think of her, my heart is as sad as a prick, Ancestor, I want to do a Dharma service for her, go to the temple to watch and do a Dharma service for her."

Li Xiaonuan's voice gradually lowered, Mrs. Li sighed slowly, took Li Xiaonuan's hand, and said in a gentle voice:

"After all, I've been waiting for you for a few years, just go if you want to, you can go to Lingying Temple for two days, go quietly, let the temple do a few super Dharma things for Chunqiao, you don't have to watch her do this Dharma thing, it's not good to fold her blessings, Lingying Temple is not far from here, have lunch, let Grandma Sun and Grandma Wei accompany you over."

Li Xiaonuan hurriedly got up and bent her knees to thank her, and Mrs. Li pulled her to comfort her gently, and then sent her back to rest.

After lunch, Li Xiaonuan took the four girls of late winter, Lan Chu, Xiaoyu and Xiuwen, accompanied by Mama Wei and Mama Sun, and took four or five mothers-in-law who followed them out, got into the car in the second gate, and went to Lingying Temple.

Gu Xiao sent Li Xiaonuan to the second gate sullenly, reluctantly watched the car go out of the gate, and walked away, only to turn back dejectedly and go to Mr. Lin to learn painting.

Li Xiaonuan lived in a spacious courtyard in the east of the temple, Mama Sun went to the temple to find the abbot to place the superordinate ritual, Mama Wei and the end of winter accompanied Li Xiaonuan, from the Daxiong Treasure Palace, kowtowed together to enter the incense, until the back of the Medicine King Palace, and rejoiced in the temple for most of the hour, before turning back to the courtyard where the borrower lived.

Li Xiaonuan stood in the courtyard in silence for a long time before sitting in front of the table in the wing room of the main house, and instructed the end of the winter to take out the scriptures borrowed from the temple, pick out a copy, sharpen the ink and pick up the pen, and slowly copy it.

Before dinner, there was a melodious evening class in the temple, Li Xiaonuan stood in the courtyard, quietly listening to the vague and quiet chanting sound, and his heart gradually relaxed and became peaceful.

After dinner in the evening, Li Xiaonuan took the scripture book, and was a little distracted on the couch, opened the curtain at the end of winter, bent his knees to salute, sat sideways on the edge of the couch, and reported in a low voice:

"I just asked Mama Sun, and Mama Sun said that last night, Mama Zhou took Lan Zhi to ask to see Madame, and the ancestor instructed that the family affairs should be forgotten."

Late Winter paused, a trace of emotion and sadness flashed on his face, and then said:

"Last night, Steward Liu took Liu Yuanhai and Chunqiao's father and mother, and they all went to the second gate to kneel and ask for guilt, and then the ancestor sent someone to let Chunqiao's father and mother go back, Steward Liu and Liu Yuanhai knelt straight outside the second gate, after we left Ruixuan Hall, the ancestor let people take Steward Liu's father and son to see her."

Li Xiaonuan listened carefully to the words of the end of the winter, and the end of the winter sighed heavily,

"Grandma Sun said that Liu Yuanhai's head was broken, and his face was bleeding, and Steward Liu smoked his own mouth, only saying that he didn't take care of his son, and asked for the grace of his ancestors, saying that he wanted to ......"

At the end of winter, he patted the edge of the couch hatefully, gritted his teeth and said:

"Saying that Liu Yuanhai knew that he was wrong, he had already repented of his intestines, he wanted to marry Chunqiao, became a secret relative, and wanted to bury Chunqiao as Liu's daughter-in-law, I knew it was so, why bother in the first place"

"What did the Ancestor say?"

Li Xiaonuan asked in a low voice,

"Mama Sun said that the ancestor was very angry, and he didn't say much, only said that Liu Yuanhai was going to marry Chunqiao, and she would naturally be fulfilled, and when Liu Yuanhai became a relative, he would let him go to Zhuangzi in the north to work for a few years."

Li Xiaonuan lowered her eyes and was silent for a long time, if Chunqiao had a spirit in the sky at this time, would she still be willing to marry Liu Yuanhai? The ancestor sent Liu Yuanhai to Zhuangzi in the north to suffer for a few years, and it was nothing more than that, and the only thing that could be punished was such a woman's revenge, but it was just to wipe his neck in front of people

At the end of winter, he wiped his tears with a handkerchief and whispered:

"The temple is doing things for Chunqiao, I just went to the pillar incense, and I just hope that she will be a good person in her next life."

Li Xiaonuan turned his head to look at the end of winter, be a good person, what kind of person is called a good life?

The next day, Li Xiaonuan got up early, sat silently under the window and copied **, until the evening, he finished copying a book of wishes neatly, carefully sorted them one by one, wrapped them in a white silk cloth, and called the end of winter to come in and instruct:

"This is the scripture I copied for Chunqiao, you took it to the temple and burned her, it can be regarded as my heart."

At the end of winter, he solemnly took the silk bag, bent his knees and retreated, and went to the temple with **.

Li Xiaonuan stood at the door of the main house, watched her go out of the courtyard, turned a corner and couldn't see, then lowered her head and returned to the table, spread out the paper and pen, took out a book of Duoxin Sutra, and copied it neatly.

Li Xiaonuan lived in Lingying Temple for five days, only meditating on copying scriptures every day, and when he went back, he gave a very neatly copied multi-heart sutra to Mrs. Li, who flipped through the scriptures copied by Li Xiaonuan, sighed and took Li Xiaonuan in her arms, and did not speak for a long time.

It's another year of autumn, and then another year of winter, and in a blink of an eye, it has entered the wax moon, and between autumn and winter, the ancient mansion is lively because of the endless stream of matchmakers.

The ancient family is a famous family in Yuezhou, that is, in Liangzhejiang Road, it is also a number of rich and noble families, although there is no family owner, speaking of a lonely widow, but Mrs. Zhou's maiden family is noble, the sister of the in-law is the princess of Runan, and Mrs. Li is famous for her shrewdness and ability.

Mrs. Li had already considered it in her heart, and some of them replied directly and politely, and some of them dragged on, but she didn't agree or die, just waiting for the few families who had already been in love with her to come to the door to ask for marriage.

After entering the moon, Mrs. Li's brows stretched day by day, first the Jin family in Taizhou Mansion, came to the door to ask the eldest son and grandson Jin Zhiyang to marry Gu Yunshan, Mrs. Li warmly entertained the matchmaker, and carefully inquired about the size of the Jin family and Jin Zhiyang, and couldn't put it down but didn't spit out and agreed.

Mrs. Li was not embarrassed for a few days, and the Zhao family entrusted a matchmaker, as Mrs. Li wished, to marry Gu Yunshan for Zhao Changchen, the eldest son of the eldest son of the long house.

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the joy and smile that could not be hidden between their eyebrows and eyes, the Geng family had not come to the door, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhou did not mind much, Mrs. Zhou made up her mind, no matter what, she would not marry her daughter into a poor family to endure hardship.

The continuous courtship, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhou's joy diluted the haze over the ancient mansion, and the house was happy and lively up and down, while preparing to spend this Spring Festival, while secretly discussing the eldest lady's family affairs with joy.

Gu Yunshan was generous, but she was a little distressed, Mrs. Li told her carefully in private about the few families she liked, and let her make up her own mind, she was difficult, hesitant, she didn't want to be in charge, but she didn't want to not be in charge.

Gu Yunshan thought about it, hesitated and entered the Songfeng Courtyard.

Li Xiaonuan hurriedly greeted him, and Gu Xiao also followed him out of the main house, and asked with a smile:

"Big sister is done, why don't you hurry back and embroider the dowry, what are you doing here?"

Gu Yunshan's face flushed, and she reached out and knocked on Gu Xiao's head,

"You owe me this business, and you want to take care of it? Did your pair come out? Beware of Mr. Chan knocking on your palm"

"It's been a long time coming, but it's just a few pairs, and Mr. Chen can't praise me too late."

Gu Xiao said with a smug face, Gu Yunshan pushed him to walk into the house, and sneered:

"It's right now, who is in a hurry to go around the garden looking for the right pair?"

Li Xiaonuan listened to the two bickering with a smile, let Gu Yunshan enter the east chamber, Lan Chu came up with tea, Gu Yunshan squinted at Gu Xiao and said:

"You've come here since you came back from Mr. Lin's? Why don't you go back and change your clothes, look at your sleeves, what's on them? ”

Gu Xiao hurriedly pulled his sleeves and watched, Li Xiaonuan stood up, pushed Gu Xiao with a smile and said:

"Don't look at it, you better go back and change your clothes, change your clothes, go to the outer study, find out the book you said yesterday, and bring it to me when you eat, you said it yesterday, I thought about it all night."

Gu Xiao hurriedly nodded in agreement, said goodbye, and went back to change clothes and find books.
