Yun Jichen raised his eyes and looked at Qiu Chen, and saw that she seemed to be thinner again, her skin was white and almost transparent, she was still wearing cotton clothes this season, her shoulders and waist were extremely slender, and she looked a little overwhelmed, but although this woman was thin, she always straightened her back, her face was gentle with a faint smile, and even her eyes were as dark and clear as ever, and her eyes were clear and frank, so that people could not feel her slenderness,...... It only makes people feel free and easy and hearty that is not inferior to men.

Moving his lips slightly, Yun Jichen averted his gaze and said in a low voice: "Liao San is really here this time!" ”

Qiu Chen's heart twitched, and he asked rhetorically, "Oh? ”

"Two days ago, his mother was fifty-seven, and he had decided that he would leave home tomorrow and live in the Fayuan Temple in the southern suburbs, and not shave his ordination every day to take refuge in Buddhism." Yun Jichen spoke, his eyes fixed on Qiu Chen's face. Although he also knew that Liao Wenqing couldn't complain about the woman in front of him today, I have to say that even Yun Jichen, who knew the root of it, couldn't help but want to know Lu Dao, Qiu Chen's attitude towards Liao Wenqing's monkhood, and what would she do? Or, simply ignore it?

As far as the relationship between Liao Wenqing and Lin Jiaming is concerned, it is just a business cooperation, and this woman is widowed, so she can't pick out Lily if she ignores this matter.

Qiu Chen's eyes froze, his eyes narrowed subconsciously, and then he calmed down and said, "Is there a way for the second son, let me see Wen Qing?" …… Before he left home, of course. ”

Yun Jichen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Qiu Chen again, and then nodded: "Liao San has been guarding in front of the spirit before, and after entering the earth, he has been guarding in the ancestral hall...... If you invite him out, I am afraid that I will not be able to, and if I want to see him, the only way is to go to Liao's Mansion to pay a visit...... Before he left home, I went to pay a visit, and he was still willing to come out to support him for a while. ”

When it came to Liao's mansion, Qiu Chen couldn't help but think of the late Liao's mother, Gao, and the head of the Liao family, Liao Jiacheng...... It's just that Liao Wenqing is going to insist on becoming a monk right now, and there is no other way under the urgency of the situation, she can only and must go to Liao's mansion.

After just a slight groan, Qiu Chen agreed: "Okay, I'll go with you...... When to leave? ”

Yun Jichen raised his eyes at the bright sunlight outside the door, and said with a little solemnity: "Leave immediately...... At this point, he has to leave us for a meal, so that he can be more relaxed. ”

Qiu Chen didn't question it, and immediately agreed to stand up: "I'm afraid it's a little inconvenient for me to enter the Liao Mansion like this, the second son, wait a while, let me go and change my clothes!" ”

Yun Jichen nodded, looked at Qiu Chen with a slight blessing, hurriedly went out of the door, and went straight to the backyard.

A quarter of an hour later, a handsome boy dressed in a royal blue embroidered robe with three taels of thin bamboo piping, a white jade brocade belt wrapped around his waist, a square scarf on his head, and a folding fan in his hand walked in from outside the door.

Yun Jichen was slightly stunned, the other party's feet in blue satin thin light boots paused, and he smiled and bowed his hand to him, "Brother Xingyuan!" ”

Yun Jichen subconsciously stood up, pointed at the son opposite and said in surprise: "Yang Shuren? ”

Qiu Chen, who had changed into men's clothes, smiled and said: "Qiu Chen!" ”

"Ha Luha, Qiu Chen...... Virtuous brother! Yun Jichen looked at Qiu Chen, who was dressed in men's clothes, and saw Qiu Chen, who was handsome and beautiful, but did not show any feminine twisting, relaxed in his heart, greeted him with a smile, and took the lead to walk out, "In this case, the hour is not early, Qiu Chen, brother please!" ”

"Brother Xingyuan, please!"

The two of them had something in their hearts, but they didn't show it on their faces, even Yun Jichen, who had a heavy face before, walked side by side with Qiu Chen at this time, and his face also returned to his usual graceful and graceful, light and light.

The car went all the way out of Lin's house and stopped outside Liao's house by the South Lake. Yun Jichen was the first to jump out of the car, and Qiu Chen also carried the corner of his robe, followed closely behind, and stepped on the footstool to get out of the carriage.

The doorman of the Liao family recognized Yun Jichen's car, and he divided into two roads, one way to report to the inside, and the other way ran down the steps, greeted Yun Jichen's car with a smile on his face, knelt down and kowtowed to say goodbye, looked up and saw Qiu Chen who got out of the car with Yun Jichen close, he was slightly stunned, and then he bowed and led the two of them to the inside and entered the gate of Liao's house.

Qiu Chen was half a step behind Yun Jichen, and walked in with his mind, while he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. Once, she also planned to marry here, but she didn't expect that after half a year's work, she walked into this door, but as a virtual man! Moreover, the man who insisted on marrying her into the door had already gotten into the horns of the bull and was stubborn about becoming a monk......

From these two things, Liao Wenqing's guy is a child who has not grown up, willful and wanton, but because he thinks he insisted on marrying her and killed his mother, he went from one extreme to the other, and simply thought about shaving his ordination to escape the guilt and self-blame he thought he had.

Alas, he is quite a shrewd person in business, why do he always do such unobtrusive things?

Qiu Chen followed Yun Jichen all the way inward, passing through two or three courtyards, and Liao Wenqing's little servant frankincense hurriedly ran out from inside.

The people on the door didn't recognize Qiu Chen, but the frankincense was familiar, and he was only a little surprised to see Yun Jichen bring someone from afar, and he didn't think much about it, he ran forward to salute Yun Jichen, and when he knelt down halfway, he also saw Qiu Chen's appearance clearly, bent his knees but forgot to kneel down, stared at Qiu Chen and exclaimed: "Lin family's mother......"

Fortunately, frankincense was not completely confused, and subconsciously exhaled in shock, but paused halfway through and swallowed the second half of the sentence. But even so, the men who led Yun Jichen and Qiu Chen in still heard the words 'Lin family' clearly.

Nowadays, in Liao Mansion, it is too much to call the word 'Lin family' taboo. Although the Liao family covered up in time, the third son of the Liao family insisted on marrying the widow of the Lin family, and he had a long quarrel with the head of the house, Gao...... After that, the reason for Gao's illness was also well known, because Gao's sudden illness and death, and the people of Liao Mansion also had a lot of speculation behind their backs...... Not to mention anything else, the performance of Liao Wenqing, the third son of the Liao family, since the death of the Gao family, is enough to make people guess.

Therefore, although many people in the Liao family did not say it, they decided in their hearts that the Gao family was so angry that Liao Wenqing fell ill and died, and Liao Wenqing naturally made the Gao family angry by 'marrying the widow of the Lin family'. Qiu Chen himself didn't know what to do, and in the minds of many people in the Liao family, he became synonymous with 'disaster water'.

The manzi's eyes were bright, and he turned to Qiu Chen, but he saw Qiu Chen's calm expression, his expression was calm, and he nodded slightly at frankincense with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "What about your third master?" Why don't you take the second son and me to meet you soon! ”

Frankincense had come back to her senses at this time, and when she heard Qiu Chen say this, she knelt down and kowtowed, and when she got up, she didn't even care about the dust on her clothes, and arched her hand to the door that brought people in: "Mountain steward, you're tired." You go back and get busy, I'll take the two sons over to see the third master......"

That's a bit unsatisfying, and the real show hasn't started yet! However, at the moment, everything in the Liao Mansion is complicated, and the third young master insists on becoming a monk, the old man and the eldest young master and the second young master are not in a good mood, and he also knows that it is definitely not difficult to make trouble at this time, otherwise he will not be comfortable finding it. So, he had no choice but to arch his hand stupidly, take a step back, and let the frankincense take Yun Jichen and Qiu Chen inside, and he looked at Qiu Chen's thin but tall back again, and said secretly, I didn't hear it wrong just now, although this person is a little too delicate, but this posture is not half twisted and shy...... How can it be a woman?

Stupid, and a little confused, the door has made up his mind to pay attention, don't pay attention to this matter today, and you can't tell anyone...... Is it the widow of the Lin family, I believe that news will come out soon, so he will keep his eyes open and stretch out his ears and wait.

After passing through a few more courtyard gates, Qiu Chen followed frankincense and finally came to an independent courtyard.

Before stepping on the bluestone steps in front of the door, Qiu Chen subconsciously glanced at the door plaque on the lintel - Haiqing Courtyard?!

Haiyan River clear? This ambition is not like that of a merchant's son. However, I think it is also the lofty ambition that Liao Wenqing once set, and now, this person is about to abandon the world and become a monk, how can he care about whether the world is safe?

Shaking his head slightly, and suppressing a soft sigh in his heart, Qiu Chen took two steps and followed Frankincense and Yun Jichen, who had already entered the door.

Haiqing Courtyard is a two-way pattern, Qiu Chen walked two steps behind Yun Jichen into the gate, and I don't know if Frankincense was in a hurry, so he didn't take the eaves corridor, but walked straight from the bluestone road in the middle of the courtyard.

It was early spring, and the flowers and plants in the yard had not yet grown, making the yard look open and bright. Qiu Chen turned his eyes and saw the pattern of entering the courtyard, five main houses, three wing rooms on each side, and there were corridors and eaves between the main house and the wing rooms.

It was also after arriving here for a long time that Qiu Chen realized that the 'hand-copying verandah' that he had often seen in TV novels was customized, and it must be an official eunuch's family, and it could be used above the official rank. And the people also have a corresponding method, especially the rich businessmen with strong family resources, the social status is very low but some are rich, it is inevitable to think about the wealth of the family, so there is a simplified version of the hand-copying verandah, that is, the kind in the old house of Lin Jiaao, which is slightly narrower than the 'hand-copying verandah', and the decoration is bright but avoids the more sensitive system patterns, and has a common name 'eaves corridor'.

Haiqing Yuan entered the main room for the second time, and as soon as Qiu Chen stepped in, she felt that the light in the room was very dim, which made her subconsciously pause and blink her eyes, so as to let her eyes adapt to the dim light as soon as possible. At the same time, a strong sandalwood fragrance came to his nose, making Qiu Chen almost feel like he was in a temple for a moment.

It was originally a sandalwood that made people calm and calm their minds, but at this time, Qiu Chen's heart was shocked.

I read Yun Jichen's letter before, and heard Yun Jichen say that Liao Wenqing was going to become a monk, but she didn't pay much attention to it, she just felt that it was just a momentary drill, and it might be fine in a few days. But when he was really in the main room of Haiqing Courtyard, the strong sandalwood fragrance on his nose made Qiu Chen truly realize the seriousness of the matter. Liao Wenqing is afraid that he is really determined to become a monk!

As his vision recovered, Qiu Chen quickly saw the situation in the room. It was completely different from Liao Wenqing's room she imagined, there were only some tables, chairs and furniture in this room, but no playthings were placed on the desk facing the door or on the Duobao lattice on one side, and the whole room seemed empty and cold.

"This way, please, our third master is in the second room!" Frankincense said, bowed down and led Yun Jichen and Qiu Chen into the west room.

This room is even more empty, only in the middle of the room placed a long case, on the case is a tablet, the tablet in front of the incense burner, the offerings are neat. A man dressed in an indigo cloth sat cross-legged in front of his desk, his eyes downcast...... Although he only saw a sitting back, Qiu Chen could also see at a glance that Liao Wenqing was much thinner than she had seen before, and the indigo-colored cloth robe hung loosely on her body, like a sheet draped.

Clean room, table, tablet ...... All this is so solemn that it is almost depressing, and it is so depressing that it makes people a little breathless.

"It's ...... Alas! Yun Jichen seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't say it after all, he only stomped his feet, turned around, and calmed his emotions with a huff.

Qiu Chen looked at Liao Wenqing, who was sitting quietly on the futon, as if he hadn't heard anyone at all, and the faint smile that had been hanging on his face was gone, but he still looked calm.

After being silent for a moment, Qiu Chen didn't say much, just went straight forward, crossed Liao Wenqing who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, walked to the offering table, took three incense sticks, lit them with the candles on the offering table, and then went back to the front of the offering table, respectfully put incense, and then turned to face Liao Wenqing, who was still sitting with his eyes down on the ground, and said in a light tone and a calm tone: "Shaodong, I heard that you want to cut off the worldly fetters and take refuge in pure Buddhism, I am here to send you off." ”

As soon as these words came out, not only the frankincense on his face full of anticipation was stunned suddenly, but even Yun Jichen, who was standing outward, stiffened his body and turned around suddenly.

Qiu Chen didn't seem to care about the reactions of others at all, he just stood quietly in front of Liao Wenqing, looking at Liao Wenqing who was sitting cross-legged with fixed eyes, and saw that he heard his voice and suddenly raised his head to look over, after his eyes were full of surprise and incredulity, and then a full of guilt and contradiction rose from the bottom of his eyes, and he couldn't help but slightly hook the corners of his lips, revealing a smile.

"I just saw the young owner meditating quietly, it's really a state of changing my mind......" The smile on the corner of Qiu Chen's mouth spread, and he looked at Liao Wenqing condescendingly, "Then, I just have a question that I can't figure out, so it's better to take it out and ask the young owner, and I hope that the young owner will give me advice and solve this puzzle." ”

Speaking of this, Qiu Chen paused slightly, his eyes flickered as if he didn't see the doubts in Liao Wenqing's eyes, and continued to say unhurriedly: "The Sixth Ancestor Huineng once had a song, saying, 'Bodhi has no tree, the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing originally, where is the dust'." I have never understood that Bodhi is a tree, and the mirror is a platform, which is originally an ordinary thing, so what if it is contaminated with dust? The Bodhi tree is stained with dust, and naturally there is rain and dew to wash and moisten it; The mirror is stained with dust, so naturally someone wipes it frequently...... Everything is as it is, so why bother with whether there is or is not and what is contaminated? ”

Liao Wenqing seemed to be asked, and looked at Qiu Chen in a daze, but saw that Qiu Chen was smiling again, and said endlessly: "I think so, what do you think?" ”

Liao Wenqing still looked up at Qiu Chen, his lips squirming, but he was stunned and speechless.

Qiu Chen looked at Liao Wenqing and smiled: "I still have to really change your mind and face when you really change your mind and abandon the worldly ways to take refuge in Buddhism, now seeing you like this, where is the appearance of Taoism?" …… Don't be unconvinced, even I can think of new ideas for a few of the six ancestors, but you don't say a word...... Okay, you, me, Yun Er Gongzi, and Frankincense, but they are all laymen, and they don't have Huigen at all, so why do you have to escape into some empty door to waste your time? It's better to be the rain and dew in the sky, to be the person who wipes the mirror, to do a good job in business, and to honor your father, your brother and sister-in-law, and your nephews in the future...... I believe that Ling Tangquan has knowledge, and he will definitely like you to be so excited, rather than to be a monk......"

As he spoke, he raised his hand to greet frankincense and said, "Look at you third young master, how can you three young masters wear such a beautiful dress?" Hurry up, find another piece of clothing to change into your young master......"

Frankincense only felt that his throat and eyes were tight, so tight that he couldn't speak at all. Subconsciously looked at his young master, and saw that the young master still maintained a posture of looking up at the Lin family's lady, and did not object, his heart settled a little, bowed down and hurriedly rushed in to find clothes.

Liao Wenqing looked at Qiu Chen, who was laughing and scolding, extremely free and happy. Although she is a woman, she wears men's clothes without the slightest sense of disobedience. It's not that she is rough and mighty, but in women, she is only middle-class and beautiful, and when she wears men's clothes, she looks extraordinarily clean and handsome.

But what Liao Wenqing noticed was not the beauty of Qiu Chen's men's clothes, what he saw was the reduction of Qiu Chen's face...... Is it because he hasn't asked anything for months, so that she is tired and tired to clear up to this? An already thin face is now almost the size of a palm, and because the face is thin, her eyes are extraordinarily visible, and her face is full of smiles, but this smile does not reach the depths of her eyes.

"Begonia, I'...... You ......" Liao Wenqing was silent for a long time, and finally made a few hoarse sounds from his throat.

Qiu Chen didn't give him a chance to say anything at all, his eyes rolled and he caught a glimpse of the frankincense that hurriedly came out with his clothes in his arms, and hurriedly smiled: "Hurry up and change it for your young master." Regardless of whether he leaves the house or not, if I come over with Yun Er Gongzi today, he can't let us leave hungry like this...... Anyway, you've got to have a meal with us......"

Liao Wenqing looked at Qiu Chen, who was smiling, and inexplicably felt a tingling pain from the bottom of his heart.

He looked at Qiu Chen's eyes and said solemnly, "Okay, today, I'll have lunch with you." ”

Because Liao Wenqing values filial piety, he naturally can't wear any bright clothes. Frankincense was obviously half old on errands, and took out an indigo, dark embroidered plain cocoon silk robe for Liao Wenqing, and nothing else was used in the bun. Qiu Chen pulled out a green jade bamboo hairpin from the drawer and handed it to frankincense: "Save it for your young master, comb your hair quickly, and go to lunch as soon as possible...... It's almost noon, so it's better to go to dinner as soon as possible. ”

------Off topic------

I didn't catch it until midnight, and I didn't see it until after eight o'clock......

I'm going to the hospital this morning to see a patient, malignant lymphoma...... Alas, all kinds of cancers emerge one after another...... It's so demoralizing!

Hopefully, cancer will be eradicated soon......
