40 Chapter V of the Year of the Turbulent Flow
Lying flat on the bed, the sound of the rain made my brain ache, and I couldn't sleep at all.
As soon as I close my eyes, Lan Yi will hold the jade bracelet and stand gloomily in the rain.
If this continues, I'm going crazy!
I rubbed my head and sat up from the bed, cross-legged and silently recited, "When you are a bodhisattva of self-contemplation, when you are doing deep prajnaparamita, you will see that the five aggregates are empty, and you will overcome all suffering. The relics are not different from the emptiness, the emptiness is not different from the color, the color is empty, the emptiness is the color......"
This princess finally collected seven hundred-year-old treasures to summon the Lady and came to this Holly Town to train to become an immortal. Now I'm thinking about Lan Yi, I'm ...... Isn't it stupid?
He is just a passer-by who has drawn a strong stroke in the life of this princess. Anyway, he won't live long, why should I be moved that he doesn't want to block the iron ball for me, and he thinks a lot to lie to me to protect Chen Jin. These distractions, which are completely unnecessary, only hinder the pace of my training.
Yes!
For me, cultivating immortals is the first thing in life, and other things are just a flash in the pan, and hundreds of years later, I don't even remember who Lan Yi is.
I kept reciting the Heart Sutra, and I didn't know when I fell asleep.
"Big Lady!"
"Big lady, wake up!"
When I dreamed that I was sitting on the top of the mountain with Lan Yi watching the fireworks, Shinozo's anxious voice suddenly startled my sweet dream and pulled me back to reality.
Seeing that I opened my eyes in a daze, Xiao San hurriedly said, "Big lady, today is the old lady's birthday." The old lady specially ordered me to come looking for you. ”
"Today is the old lady's birthday?!" I sat up from the bed and frowned, "Why didn't anyone inform me before?" ”
Through the bronze mirror, I saw Xiao San, who was hurriedly combing my hair, and then stopped: "A few days ago, I was going to come to tell the eldest lady, but ...... Mrs. Wang said that she would tell the eldest lady in person. ”
I was interrupted by humming several times, thinking that Wang Peony must have a grudge and planned to make me ugly at the old lady's birthday banquet, so I deliberately didn't want to let me know that today was the old lady's birthday.
When I rushed to the main hall, I happened to bump into Wang Peony giving a green jade Buddha to Mrs. Lan as a birthday gift. Seeing me suddenly burst in through the door, I thought that Old Madam Lan would say that I had lost my dignity and asked me to copy the family letter again, etc...... I haven't copied the letter from home last time.
Sure enough, as soon as I thought of this debt, I heard Lan Rong say coldly: "Sister-in-law, you are also the eldest lady of our Lan family now, and you are not afraid of losing the face of our Lan family if you lose your honor so much." My sister-in-law was fined for copying the house rules when she first entered the house, look at my sister-in-law's current appearance, but the family rules haven't been copied yet? ”
I pursed my lips and looked up to explain, but when I saw someone sitting next to Lan Rong with a white face, my mind suddenly ran out of words.
Seeing that I was stupid in place, Mrs. Lan, who had not been waiting to see me, patted the empty position beside her: "Xiao is a few days ago, Xian'er was almost hit by an iron ball, and her heart palpitated. It's normal that I haven't slept well in the past few days, so come and sit. Old Madam Lan said and looked at Lan Yi, whose face was getting paler and paler: "The second child was hit by an iron ball this time, and the injury has not healed, if you are uncomfortable, go back to rest first." ”
I was amazed by Mrs. Lan's maintenance of me.
When I sat next to Mrs. Lan, I only heard Lan Yi cough lightly: "Old lady, Ah Yi is fine." ”
After Lan Yi finished speaking, his gloomy gaze swept towards me.
Lan Yi's deep eyes always made me lose my mind, but at this moment I pinched my hand with my fingernails, telling myself not to look at Lan Yi's eyes again, his face and not even the hair of his hair.
At this time, I suddenly realized that it was really a heart-stopping thing to fall in love with my little uncle, and it was very embarrassing to look up and not look down!!
In order to avoid Lan Yi's gaze, I turned my head to stare at Lan Pei, who was sitting next to me. Feeling my empty gaze, Lan Pei raised his head and glanced at me lightly.
I blinked in a daze, this was the most normal time I've seen Lan Pei appear since I saw him.
Seeing that I was staring at his face and lost my mind, the corners of Lan Pei's lips lifted slightly, and he laughed softly: "Xian'er, staring at her husband like this, she feels embarrassed by her husband." ”
I have met Lan Pei several times, and I only feel that this time I am the least embarrassed. Is this Lan Pei sick?
Following his gaze, the next moment I knew it instantly. I saw Wang Peony twisting the corner of her clothes and said: "Today is my mother-in-law's birthday, I don't know what birthday gift my sister has prepared for my mother-in-law?" ”
Wang Peony deliberately prevented Xiao San from telling him that today was Mrs. Lan's birthday, so that it was this moment.
As soon as Wang Mudan's voice fell, Lan Yi coughed lightly: "That day, my sister-in-law was almost injured by an iron ball on the road in order to prepare for her birthday. Sister-in-law, worried about Ah Yi's injury, went to Jinyun Mountain to look for medicine, and this congratulatory gift was forgotten by Sister-in-law Ah Yi. After Lan Yi finished speaking, he saw the little guy standing beside him walking up to Mrs. Lan with a rosewood box in his hand.
When the little girl opened the rosewood box, Mrs. Lan's eyes lit up, and she picked up the blood-dripping lotus Bodhi handpiece inside, and instantly smiled from ear to ear: "It's still Xian'er who knows my heart best." ”
Seeing this, I twitched the corner of my mouth, the blood lotus Bodhi is extremely rare, and it is even more difficult to find the blood lotus Bodhi of the same shape and size to use as a hand. Compared with the blood-dripping lotus Bodhi in front of him, the string of stars and moon Bodhi on Mrs. Lan's neck instantly eclipsed. How could Mrs. Lan not be happy when she got her favor.
But here's the problem.
Wang Peony said: "This drop of Blood Lotus Bodhi is the treasure of the town store of the Treasure Pavilion, and you can't buy it even if you have money. I don't know if the monthly money is not enough to buy an ordinary hairpin in the Treasure Pavilion, how did my sister buy this drop of blood lotus Bodhi? ”
This bracelet is the treasure of the town store of the Treasure Pavilion?
Raising my eyes to look at the light smile in Lan Yi's eyes, I only felt panicked. I was busy going to Jinyun Mountain to get the silver moon snake bile, and I was busy looking around for the murderer who threw the iron ball, so Lan Yi knew that I didn't care about the affairs of the Lan Mansion at all, and knew that I didn't prepare a birthday gift for Old Madam Lan, and he had already prepared a birthday gift and a speech for me, helping me block Wang Peony's mouth.
This feeling of being seen through by Lan Yi and being led by his nose made Princess Ben feel angry!
I turned my head to look at Old Madam Lan and said, "The Treasure Pavilion is the property of Prince Fusu. The prince of Fusu admires the little uncle, and the town knows it. Hearing that the little uncle said that he wanted to take this drop of blood lotus Bodhi as a birthday gift for the old lady, the prince of Fusu did not take a penny and gave it to his friends. To be precise, this drop of Blood Lotus Bodhi Bracelet is not a birthday gift given by Qiu Xian to the old lady. ”
Old Madam Lan looked at Lan Yi in surprise, Lan Yi didn't even blink and continued to flicker: "Although this birthday gift was lobbyed by Ah Yi for her sister-in-law, it contains her sister-in-law's heart for the old lady. ”
It's not a loss that he is the first talent in Holly Town, and this remark is very well blocked. But this princess didn't want to receive this love anymore, so I said, "Mother-in-law, this birthday gift is not something I forgot from my little uncle and didn't get it back. On the day I got this drop of blood lotus Bodhi hand, my little uncle suffered an unwarranted disaster and even saw blood because of this, which can be seen to be ominous. Therefore, Qiu Xian did not plan to use this string of blood-dripping lotus Bodhi handifolds as a birthday gift for her mother-in-law. ”
"This ......"
Who would accept an ominous gift at their birthday banquet, Mrs. Lan was stunned when she heard this, although her eyes showed reluctance, she still put the bracelet back into the sandalwood box, turned to look at me and said, "In this case, I don't know what birthday gift Xian'er has prepared for me?" ”
On the way here, I had already thought about it. I clapped my hands: "Xiaosan, take it." ”
Hearing my command, Shinosanman, who was already standing at the door, panted and stepped forward with a piece of pine in his arms.
Seeing that Xiao San was holding a piece of pine wood in his arms, Wang Peony opened his mouth in shock, and said with a smile: "Sister, what do you mean by this?" I didn't have time to prepare a new gift for my mother-in-law, and I didn't just move rotten wood from the side of the road to make my mother-in-law's birthday gift. ”
It is true that as Wang Peony said, this pine tree was cut from the pine tree by me when I passed by the backyard just now.
Ignoring Wang Peony's ridicule of me, I said, "Xiaosan, take a carving knife!" ”
After a stick of incense.
"What an ingenious wood carving!" When I put away the carving knife, the praise of the old lady Lan rang in my ears.
At this time, the pine wood in front of me, which was only worthy of being used to make a fire, has now become a lifelike wood carving, and what I carved is the appearance of Mrs. Lan worshipping the Buddha under the Bodhi tree.
"Qiu Xian" is good at fighting tigers with both hands, and my hands are good at pounding the carcasses of various small animals with a knife. By drawing inference, carving is much easier for me than poetry. Moreover, the idea of this wood carving was conceived by me for a whole night of meditation for the 40th birthday of my mother. It's just that the birthday gift for the mother was carved with Lantian warm jade, and now it is replaced with pine wood, and I casually changed the face on the statue.
I handed the wood carving to Mrs. Lan: "I wish the old lady happiness is like the long water flow of the East China Sea, and her longevity is better than the old pine of Nanshan." ”
Piety to the heart of the Buddha is manifested in the public, and I use pine wood as a metaphor for its immortality. The smile on the face of the old lady who took the wood carving was even brighter than just now: "Xian'er, I like your birthday gift very much." Come, this is your mother-in-law's reward. Old Madam Lan said as she took off the jade bracelet from her wrist and wanted to put it on for me.
Why do people in the Lan family like to give bracelets at every turn......
Even if this jade bracelet is not the other jade bracelet, it is even much worse than the jade bracelet that Lan Yi gave me before.
Lest I see this jade bracelet and think of the jade bracelet, so as to think of Lan Yi, I hurriedly shirked it and said: "This jade bracelet is the old lady's beloved thing." Qiu Xian can't ask for it, maybe one day he will smash the jade bracelet when he raises his hand and is not careful. If the old lady really wants to reward Qiu Xian, it is better to teach Qiu Xian to make concentric baked cakes. ”
As soon as I said this, everyone present was stunned.
Old Madam Lan came back to her senses, happily took my hand, looked at my face seriously, and said, "It seems that the old man must have a spirit in the sky." Xian'er, before you married into our Lan family. You are clearly fat and ugly, and you are good for nothing except to go up the mountain to fight tigers. Now in just a few months, you have lost so much weight that it looks like a different person, not only has you become this year's peach blossom beauty, but you even amazed the audience with a sentence of "I kill a hundred flowers after my flowers bloom" at the appreciation party. Now I don't want to carve a birthday gift myself, but I also want to learn how to make concentric baked cakes. ”
Old Madam Lan said, and glanced at Lan Pei meaningfully: "Pei'er, like this, you are willing to risk your life to save yourself from the hands of the mountain bandits, and you have to work hard just to be worthy of your good daughter-in-law, you don't have to live up to it again." ”
Compared to Lan Pei's anger when he saw me in the past, he actually looked at me quietly at this time and said, "It depends on whether she can learn to make concentric baked cakes." ”
It's just a baked cake.
I can even make green tea cakes, and it will be rare for me to burn cakes with one heart.
I heard that Mrs. Lan was willing to teach me how to make concentric baked cakes, and I didn't bother to explain that his own son didn't have such a big face that it was worth my life to save him.
I said, "As long as my mother-in-law is willing to teach me, I will not let my mother-in-law down." ”
The last person I want to see now is Lan Yi, his injuries have not healed, and it stands to reason that he should have gone back to his room to rest. As a result, when the banquet began, he did not see any intention of leaving the table.
Lan Yi sat directly across from me, and when I looked up, I could bump into his gloomy eyes. Even a table of delicacies can't whet my appetite.
Seeing that I was staring at the rice in the bowl and not moving my chopsticks, Lan Pei next to me sandwiched a piece of braised pigeon into my bowl: "Qiu Xian, I know that you are thin for me." But if you continue to lose weight, you will be as thin as your second brother, and it is not far from being blown away by the wind. ”
Seeing that I was still staring at the rice in the bowl and not moving my chopsticks, Lan Pei paused and said, "You can taste this braised pigeon, this is made by the second brother himself." Don't you always like to go to Wuweiju to eat braised pigeon? The braised pigeon made by the second brother is more delicious than that of Wuweiju. ”
My hand holding the bowl couldn't help but tighten, remembering that Lan Yi had said that he would make braised suckling pigeon for me to eat.
I tried my best to ignore Lan Yi's existence, but Lan Pei kept mentioning Lan Yi in my ear.
I twitched the corner of my mouth, picked up the braised pigeon that Lan Pei had put in my bowl and stuffed it into his mouth: "You eat." ”(.)
