162. Selfishness

"The four of us entered the house together. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info" Chuncao clenched Qiu Ju Dongmei's hand and said unhurriedly, "Since the day we entered the mansion, the four of us have always been in and out together, eating and sleeping together. It can really be said that although they are not the same mother's siblings, they are better than their own sisters. Madame thinks that we are good, and we will do our best, and after so many years, she has never moved the mind of separating us. The degree of food and clothing on weekdays is exactly the same. ā€

She was silent for a moment and sighed: "Madame treats us really well. ā€

The other three all nodded.

"Over the years, not only in our hearts, but even in the eyes of Mrs., Ah Lang, Young Lady, and even other servants, the four of us have long been one." Chuncao sighed again, "If it's good, naturally all four of us are good, if it's not good......" Her gaze swept over Xia He, Qiuju and Dongmei's faces one by one, and the rest of the words, even if she didn't say it, how could the other three not understand.

"So I thought, the four of us, we must think in one place, and work hard in one place, which is the right reason. If anyone has selfish intentions and wants to get rid of himself, our own sisters, although they are not happy, can not do anything. It's just that Madame, Ah Lang, Young Madame, and other servants are there, I'm afraid it won't work. ā€

When Chuncao said this, she deliberately didn't look at Dongmei. Xia He Qiuju quickly glanced at Dongmei.

Dongmei knew what they meant, but she didn't say anything, just pursed her lips and smiled.

Chuncao changed the subject.

"Since the beginning of winter, Madame's body has ......," he said, waving his hand and shaking his head in place of the rest of the words.

"There are five or six days out ......of ten," Xia He continued, also waving his hand and shaking his head instead of the rest of the words.

"It is said that life is rare in seventy years, and my wife is ninety years old this year." Qiu Ju sighed worriedly.

Seeing that Dongmei still didn't speak, the three of them looked at her together.

Dongmei's gaze swept over the faces of the three people one by one, and then she couldn't help laughing.

Chuncao hurriedly raised her index finger and "shh Qiu Ju was afraid that Dongmei would be in pain and couldn't help screaming, so she quickly pulled Xia He away, and gently rubbed it where Dongmei was pinched.

Dongmei listened to these embarrassing words, but she was not annoyed, and only smiled slightly: "Sister said it well." What my sister meant, Dongmei fully understood, and there was nothing to say. However, speaking of selfishness, why did Mrs. buy the four of us that day, the four of us are clear. Who didn't have selfish intentions at the beginning. It's just that after so many years...... she looked at Chuncao, then at Xia He Qiuju, and finally cast her gaze into the distance, "Until now, I don't know how the three sisters imagined." Dongmei has already seen through it and is gone...... Selfishness. ā€

The word "selfishness" came out of her mouth, like mockery and banter, and there was an indescribable taste.

Spring grass, summer lotus, and autumn chrysanthemum's expression couldn't help but darken.

Dongmei said again: "Dongmei knows what the sisters are worried about. She sighed slightly, "Over the years, Dongmei has been chanting Buddha with her wife for a few years, and with the guidance of the Bodhisattva, she can see it openly." Madame is a well-known living bodhisattva in Beijing, just like my sister Fang Cai, Madame has always treated us well. Not to mention anything else, my sister only looks at what we eat and wear, what is worse than the little lady of ordinary people? ā€

"The little lady of an ordinary family, I'm just afraid of ...... It can't be compared with us. Qiu Ju looked at the spring grass, then at Xia He, and finally set her eyes on Dongmei.

Dongmei smiled: "What kind of life did we live in the hands of human teeth?" To be able to enter the Guogong Mansion, of course, I was apprehensive at first, but later, Mrs. was kind to us, never scolded us, ate well and dressed well, who of us is not happy? Dongmei remembers clearly, at that time, we discussed in private, dare to cultivate blessings in the previous life, so we fell into this nest of blessings. For half a year, every night, the four of us huddled in a quilt, chattering and not daring to sleep, afraid that it was not that we had cultivated blessings in our previous lives, but that we had a dream. If you close your eyes and fall asleep, and when you wake up, this blessed nest is gone, and you return to the old prison pit. ā€

Recalling the past, Dongmei's face was as usual, and the other three looked at each other, but they all sighed.

"Later, Mrs. even asked the four of us to follow Ah Lang to learn the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting...... "Dong Mei was silent for a moment, "I was young at the time, and Mrs. did whatever she asked me to do, and I didn't think much about it, but now that I think about it, Mrs. may not have her selfish ......"

Seeing that the faces of the other three people changed color, Dongmei couldn't help laughing: "Since the sisters think that Dongmei is selfish, Dongmei has the courage to open up today, just cut open her heart, and let the sisters see Dongmei's selfishness." ā€

The other three blushed and were about to explain, but Dongmei spoke first: "Sisters, don't think about it, the four of us, in the eyes of everyone, are indeed one." In Dongmei's heart, this is even more so. The four of us should have been in unison, advancing and retreating together. What the sisters are worried about is also what Dongmei is worried about. What the sisters ask for is exactly what Dongmei asks. ā€

With her words, the other three secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Dongmei's lips pursed a little playful smile: "If you don't even have this tacit understanding, isn't it a joke to talk about being like a sister?" ā€

The other three looked at each other, and they couldn't help but show shame on their faces.

Dongmei saw it in her eyes, didn't wait for them to say something, and said, "Over the years, Dongmei has devoted herself to the Buddha, lazy to ask about the world, and looks a little estranged from her sisters, no wonder the sisters have misunderstood." It's Dongmei's, Dongmei is here, and I'm not going to make amends to my sisters. Dongmei stood up and saluted the three of them one by one.

"It's not that we don't believe in my sister, it's just that looking at the situation makes people anxious......" Chuncao helped Dongmei up, although her heart was a lot more stable, her face was a little pale.

Dongmei nodded: "Madame's health is not as good as before, Madame has been planning for us for many years, but the four of us still haven't landed, no wonder the sisters are uneasy." It's Dongmei, although I've been reciting the Buddha for so many years, I always think about the future......"

She didn't say anything more, but lowered her eyes and chanted the Buddha.

"My sister has always been more knowledgeable than the three of us, according to my sister, what should we do now?" Chuncao grabbed Dongmei's hand and asked anxiously.

Dongmei shook her head and smiled bitterly: "My sister looks down on Dongmei too much." If Dongmei has a way and has a good youth, why just chant Buddha? She paused and said with a smile, "Buddhism pays attention to cause and effect. There is a cause to have an effect, there is no cause and no effect, and it is useless to think too much. For so many years, you and I know how Madame has treated us. Madame has always been thinking about Zhou Xiang, and the places where we go have been arranged a long time ago. If that day comes......"

And if that day comes......
