Chapter 56: The Buddha Bathing Festival (3)
Liu Ruoxi raised her head slightly, and met Feng Jianzhang's smiling face, she opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything. Except for the fact that she said good things about Liu Yujiang to Second Master Liu on the issue of succession, she didn't seem to be able to find any fault with Feng Jianzhang.
At that time, Liu Yujiang was still hiding perfectly, and it was Feng Jianzhang who spoke for him. In addition, if you are any person, standing in Feng Jianzhang's position, as the nephew of Mrs. Liu's in-laws, if Mrs. Liu asks, she will also say good things about Liu Yujiang.
Now, Feng Jianzhang has lived in the Liu family for almost two months, almost exactly the same as in his previous life, and the impression of the second master and the second wife of Liu on Feng Jianzhang is getting better and better. Second Master Liu even praised Feng Jianzhang, saying that he was "a humble gentleman, gentle as jade". With the second master Liu's personality, such a praise is almost his highest evaluation of people, which shows Feng Jianzhang's status in the second master Liu's mind.
Because he is Mrs. Liu's nephew, he is very popular in the house, in addition to the second master Liu, Mrs. Liu also likes Feng Jianzhang very much. Therefore, Feng Jianzhang can move around the house at will.
If you really want to find anything wrong with Feng Jianzhang, it is only one point. When he met Liu Ruoxi by chance, there seemed to be a little abnormal. Of course, this is the beginning. Later, because he was more familiar with the mansion and received more praise and attention from Second Master Liu, Feng Jianzhang was able to often go in and out of Second Master Liu's courtyard.
In this way, naturally, there will be more opportunities to see Liu Ruoxi. However, Feng Jianzhang did it very skillfully, and there was no obvious politeness in his speech and demeanor.
Even if you don't have those memories of your past life. Liu Ruoxi could also vaguely feel that Feng Jianzhang treated her differently. However, there is more to it than that. She couldn't say what was wrong with Feng Jianzhang.
Liu Ruoxi can be cold to Feng Jianzhang, but she can't be too kind to him. Because if she does that. Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu will not agree, and it also seems that she is ignorant and unreasonable.
"Cousin Zhang, I'm fine, you help me support my mother." Liu Ruoxi said to Feng Jianzhang.
"Okay." Feng Jianzhang saw that Liu Ruoxi wanted him to do something, and there was nothing he refused to answer, so he immediately said, and went to help Mrs. Liu. also instructed Liu Ruoxi to walk slowly and be careful not to stain her shoes.
Liu Ruoxi nodded, and raised her head while following Second Mrs. Liu towards the temple.
Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruojuan and Liu Yuhai were still in front, and they did not go to the temple, but stood with their backs to the temple gate. Mrs. Liu looked at Liu Ruoxi with a smile, the smile on Liu Yuhai's face was even bigger, his mouth was slightly open, and there were some clarity and some narrowness in his eyes that were unique to his age.
Liu Ruoxi immediately understood. Maybe. In Mrs. Liu's opinion, the matter between her and Feng Jianzhang is already a certainty, and it is just a matter of finally piercing the layer of window paper and officially deciding to come in person. That's probably what Mrs. Liu thought. And she doesn't hide it at all. On the contrary, Mrs. Liu went out of her way to let everyone know that she thought so.
Mrs. Liu is trying to create an established fact!
Even a child like Liu Yuhai. I'm afraid I don't know how many times I've heard it, and I also see her and Feng Jianzhang as a couple.
Liu Ruoxi pinched her palm fiercely in her sleeve. Just now, I had such a good impression of Feng Jianzhang, and I wanted to accept my fate. At this moment, there is no trace of expelled by Mrs. Liu's smile. Why should she be calculated by Mrs. Liu? Although everyone praises Feng Jianzhang for being good, do they, including herself, really know Feng Jianzhang?
Mrs. Liu seemed to be very satisfied with what she saw, and turned around with Liu Yuhai and Liu Ruojuan, and walked slowly towards the temple. When Liu Yuhai turned around, he also made a grimace at Feng Jianzhang. The mother and son had already taken a few steps forward, and only Liu Ruojuan was left in the area. Liu Ruojuan didn't seem to notice Mrs. Liu's actions, and stood like she did just now, looking in the direction of Liu Ruojuan.
Liu Ruojuan has always been a taciturn girl, especially when she follows Liu Ruoyuan all the year round, all the brilliance, and even all the words have been finished by Liu Ruoyuan, leaving Liu Ruojuan with only a faint shadow and eternal silence, so unnoticeable and easy to be ignored.
When she is in a daze like this, it is not uncommon for Liu Ruojuan to do so. It's just that at this moment, Liu Ruojuan's eyes are a little different. There was less of her usual dullness and more of something else.
For a while, Liu Ruojuan felt that Liu Ruojuan was not looking at her, or even at anyone, what Liu Ruojuan was looking at was something that was too far away for her.
"Second girl, what are you doing in a daze, let's go!" Mrs. Liu walked out for a while, only to find that Liu Ruojuan was no longer by her side, so she turned back and greeted Liu Ruojuan with some impatience.
Liu Ruojuan woke up like a dream, agreed, turned around and hung her head, and chased after Mrs. Liu with small steps.
When the girls and daughters-in-law who followed and waited caught up, Liu Ruoxi and others had already accompanied Mrs. Liu into the Daxiong Hall of Daxiangguo Temple. Everyone bowed down with Mrs. Liu's incense, and then stepped forward to salute the incense in turn, and then slowly came out of the Daxiong Treasure Hall and went to the backyard of the Daxiangguo Temple.
There is a release pond in the backyard of Dashokokuji Temple. The release pond of Daxiangguo Temple is very large, and there is a rockery stacked in the center of the pond, and at the foot of the rockery is a giant stone turtle. I don't know what kind of mechanism has been made on the rockery, but there is a clear spring water flowing down like a waterfall, washing over the back of the stone turtle and flowing into the pool. This release pond is not only used for pilgrims to release their animals, but in summer, it is also one of the most famous scenery in the capital.
Liu Yujiang and his people had already prepared a lot of fish, as well as large and small turtles, and sent them forward at this time, so that Mrs. Liu would release them with all the female dependents. Although Mrs. Liu is not always worshiping Buddha in her mouth like Mrs. Liu, she has always been very positive about such merits. In addition to the public middle school, she also asked people to buy some carp and take Liu Ruoxi into the release pond.
Liu Yuwen followed Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi, and also released several baskets of carp.
Watching the fish enter the water, they immediately swam to the middle of the pond with their heads and tails. All the ladies and relatives have not come out for a long time, and they are all very happy. Liu Ruoxi just took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands, and when she turned her head, she saw that Liu Yuwen's eyes were red, and she seemed to be trying to hold back her crying.
"Brother Wen, what's wrong?" Liu Ruoxi hurriedly asked, "Who made you wronged?" Just tell me, and I'll call the shots. ”
Liu Yuwen often comes to Liufu, although the second master and the second wife of Liu look at him differently, but there are still some snobbery among the subordinates. Liu Ruoxi protected Liu Yuwen very much, and after two seizures, no one in the house dared to underestimate Liu Yuwen.
"I wasn't wronged." Liu Yuwen was a little embarrassed and said hurriedly.
"I haven't been wronged, how can I be like this?" Liu Ruoxi smiled, "What do you have to say, can't you tell my sister yet?" ”
"I'm really not wronged, it's just ...... I suddenly remembered my mother. Liu Yuwen said, "When my mother was alive, she also brought me to let me go." Since the death of the beating mother, I haven't been here. When I came here again, I inevitably remembered the scene when his mother was alive, so Liu Yuwen was sad.
Second Mrs. Liu heard it from the side, and raised her hand to stroke Liu Yuwen's head.
"Good boy, don't be sad. You/Mother are watching from the sky, and I hope you are happy. Second Mrs. Liu said to Liu Yuwen.
"Hmm." Liu Yuwen nodded.
After pondering in front of the release pond for a while, everyone in the Liu family went to the meditation room under the guidance of the monk Zhike. There are many pilgrims who come to worship the Buddha today, and the abbot monk is too busy to confess his sins and go to the front to greet other pilgrims.
As early as a few days ago, the Liu family sent people to set up a few quiet rooms with Daxiangguo Temple, so that the old lady Liu and other daughters could rest after worshipping the Buddha. When everyone arrived, some monks had already cleaned up the ashram, burned incense, and brought tea.
Mrs. Liu sat on the couch at the top, and everyone sat down below. Mrs. Liu drank tea while talking to the accompanying monks.
“…… Which other lady is here? Mrs. Liu asked the monk to know the truth.
The monks who knew the guests said a few, among which there were those who were friends with the Liu family, and the wives and grandmothers that Mrs. Liu could inquire about were not as old as her, so they said that they would invite them to come and talk together. Liu Da/Grandma got up and went out, and after a while, she invited someone over.
Mrs. Zhao was among them, and she also brought her twin sons. When he met Mrs. Liu, he brought his two sons over and talked to Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi.
The twins are fourteen years old this year, the eldest is called Liu Tong, and the second is called Liu He. Liu Ruoxi heard that the second master Liu said that it was their father, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, Liu Yi, who gave the names to his two sons, which means "gentlemen are harmonious but different".
The twins saluted to the second wife of Liu, and called the second wife Liu the second aunt like the nephews of the Liu family, and then was sent by the Zhao family to bow to Liu Ruoxi, and they all called Liu Ruoxi the third sister.
Everyone sat down together, and the Zhao family pulled Liu Ruoxi to her side, and talked about exchanging her two sons for Liu Ruoxi.
The two families are good families, Liu Ruoxi knew the twins when she was a child and often played together. The twins didn't see her either, but sat honestly for a while, and then they showed their true forms, squeezing their eyebrows, and making her laugh.
It's still a pair of living treasures! Liu Ruoxi couldn't help but smile and glared at the twins. The unhappiness at the gate of the temple has dissipated at this time.
Liu Ruoxi was talking to the twins, but she didn't notice that a little girl brought in a very decently dressed daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law stepped forward and spoke to Mrs. Liu:
Prince Yongjing and Princess Yongjing and Mrs. Zhending were in the East Cross Courtyard, and they knew that Mrs. Liu and everyone were here, so they asked everyone to go over and speak.
Liu Ruoxi heard this last sentence, and the smile on her face froze for a moment.
