Chapter 55: After the Rain, the Sky is Clear
After a night of violent rain, it finally stopped in the early morning of the next day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The world has been frantically scrubbed again, looking bright and clean, and spotless.
Mo Yu woke up early, looked at the two people who were still sleeping next to him, did not be alarmed, quietly got up, got dressed, put on a cloak, opened the door, and walked out of the yard.
The sound of the monks giving their morning lectures came from the front yard, and Mo Yu was attracted by the sound of chanting scriptures for some reason, so he couldn't help but walk into the hall, knelt behind the disciples, and prayed sincerely. In fact, there is nothing to pray for, but when people kneel here, their whole body can relax, their hearts are free of distractions, and their heads are empty.
The sound stopped, and the morning class ended. Mo Yu followed the crowd, bowed three times, and then got up and walked out of the main hall. Walking slowly along the corridor, you will come to the chrysanthemum garden that you saw yesterday.
After the devastation of last night's heavy rain, the chrysanthemums in the yard have fallen all over the ground, some on the wall, and some on the water. The falling flowers are independent, and the micro swifts are flying. No matter how dazzling yesterday was, now it is only a desolation of decay.
"Concubine Li's mother got up so early."
Mo Yu looked back and saw that it was the abbot in a robe. So he hurriedly turned around and saluted. "Moyu has seen the abbot."
The old abbot smiled and asked, "Is Niangniang's body better?" ”
"It's all right, thank you abbot for the medicine yesterday."
"The injury is only the appearance, but the inside is not completely good, after the mother goes back, I have to continue to take medicine, only the inside is completely healed, and the mother's illness will not recur."
"The abbot is merciful, and Moyu obeys the teachings. Buddhism is originally a pure place, and it is Moyu's fault that I let the pure place be stained with blood. ”
The old abbot laughed, crossed the black jade, walked to the chrysanthemum, stretched out his hand to pick up a fallen chrysanthemum, and said: "Buddhism is indeed a pure place, but it is not without life and death. If there is a Buddha in the heart, the heart is naturally pure, and if there is no Buddha in the heart, the six roots are not pure. Therefore, the Buddha comes from the heart and has nothing to do with the outside world. ”
It's very simple and easy to understand, but it's not so easy to actually do. Mo Yu was ashamed. Taught. Mo Yu walked over to the chrysanthemum, picked up a chrysanthemum that had fallen on the ground, and looked at it carefully. It's a pity that this courtyard is full of chrysanthemums. ”
The abbot was relieved, "The beginning of life must be accompanied by the end, and the flowers bloom and fall, which is a natural phenomenon." ”
The flowers bloom and fall, year after year, this year goes, and the next year repeats. The old scene is still the same, but what has changed is just people. The abbot turned around, faced Moyu, took out a Buddhist book from his sleeve, handed it to Moyu, and said with a smile: "If you don't dislike it, please accept this book, after reading it, maybe your heart will be clear." ”
Mo Yu bowed his head slightly, took the book sincerely with both hands, and said, "Thank you Abbot for the gift." ”
"The rain has stopped, and the sky is clear after the rain. Niangniang can go back quickly, and enjoy the clean and clear scenery along the way. ”
"Thank you, Abbot."
The abbot turned around, looked up at the clean and bright sky, and said quietly: "The Buddha pays attention to the past life and this life, what cause was planted in the previous life, and what kind of fruit will be harvested in this life." Niang Niang is a smart person, and there are some things that don't have to be too demanding. When you know to let go, you are at ease. ”
Let go, be at ease. Is this talking about her now, or will she be in the future? If everyone can let go, how can there be so many entanglements of right and wrong, grievances and hatred in this world. Mo Yu wanted to say something more, but saw that the old abbot had already left the garden and was groomed around the corner. She looked at the book in her hand, sighed, and followed back to her yard.
In the courtyard, I wanted to see Moyu come back, and said to everyone in the house angrily: "Na, I'm right, Niangniang will come back by herself." "I used to be like this when I was in Wuyan Mountain, and from time to time I disappeared.
Mo Yu was puzzled and asked, "What happened?" ”
Ma Gonggong patted his chest, cocked his orchid fingers, and said, "My ancestor, where did you go early in the morning, and we were still preparing to look for you?" ”
Zhao Danxiu was also worried: "Yes, sister, why didn't you say anything to us when you went out?" ”
Oh, so that's the case, looking at their worried expressions, Mo Yu said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm worried about you, I'm just going to the front yard for a walk." ”
"It's just over the rainstorm and the weather is cold, even if you go out, you can't dress so thinly." Sikong Jun saw that she was only wearing a coat and a cloak, and her arms under the cuffs were as weak as bones, and his heart was distressed.
"Alright, guys, I know I'm wrong, so don't count me down anymore. I'm hungry, can I have breakfast first? ”
When the people heard that the master was hungry, they hurried to work, poured water for those who poured water, and passed food for those who passed food. Mo Yu looked at them in a hurry, and her heart was very warm, at least someone cared about her, didn't she!
After breakfast, a little monk came over to spread the word, saying that the Ji Mansion had sent someone to take Moyu back. Mo Yu thought about it and understood, and he didn't know what Ji Fei Jade said to them when he went back last night, but he actually sent someone today. It's okay, why not use a free groom.
Laugh and enjoy the scenery on the side of the road. The old abbot really didn't lie to her, the scenery after the baptism of heavy rain was refreshing. I stopped and stopped all the way, and when I returned to Jifu, it was almost noon.
The main hall was filled with almost all the masters of the Ji Mansion, the old lady, Ji Gangyang and his wife, the eldest young master and his wife, the second and third misses, and various concubines. The housekeeper told her that the old lady was waiting for her in the main hall, but she didn't say that so many people were waiting for her here, what are you doing, holding a torture conference!
When everyone saw Moyu coming in, they got up one after another and said, "I've seen Concubine Li." ”
"Get up! What are you doing here, is something going on? ”
The old lady said: "Nothing happened in the house, Concubine Li didn't return last night, we are worried about what will happen to you, so we are waiting here." ”
It seems that they don't know the reason why she couldn't come back last night, Mo Yu looked at Xiang Rong suspiciously, didn't she explain it clearly? Please Rong waved his hand to show his innocence, and said, "I already told the second miss yesterday that you can't come back because of the recurrence of your old disease." ”
Ji Feicui hurriedly jumped out and said angrily: "You are talking nonsense, you only told me yesterday that she was going to live in the mountains, and you didn't say that her old illness had recurred." ”
Although Xiangrong is a girl with no roots, she will not be wrong about important things, Mo Yu asked coldly, "Really?" ”
"Yes, I don't believe you came to confront my maid, and my maid was by my side at the time."
Your maid is not your person yet, she listens to what you say. "In that case, it's our fault." Mo Yu sarcastically said, "The chrysanthemums in the Great Xiangguo Temple are in full bloom, and I was a little lingering, so I missed the time to return home." Thanks to the abbot's invitation, listening to him chanting and preaching Zen in the temple benefited a lot, but he didn't expect to make everyone worried, and Moyu was deeply ashamed. ”
"It's ...... you"
"Shut up." The old lady shouted, after listening to Xiang Rong's words, she also guessed a little bit of the truth, and explained embarrassedly: "It rained heavily last night, and it was inconvenient for the mother to go back and forth, but it is safer to stay in Xiangguo Temple." ”
"That's what I thought, too. Fortunately, I was accompanied by Sikong Gongzi and Miss Zhao last night, so I wouldn't be so bored. It is inconvenient for me to come forward, so please ask the old lady to arrange it later, and bring a gift to the door to thank you. ”
Standing in the main hall, she also felt embarrassed, and the old lady simply sent Moyu away, and said, "But according to the mother's orders." The weather changes, and the mother travels by boat again, and she will let the husband in the house check the pulse, so as not to have any hidden diseases, and can also prevent it from happening. ”
Mo Yu didn't know the old lady's intentions, and inadvertently glanced at Ji Fei from the corner of his eye, and said, "The old lady arranged it." If it's okay, I'll go first. ”
"Congratulations to the mother."
Looking at the back of Moyu and his party in the distance, the old lady sighed. Then he shook the cane in his hand and shouted, "Jade." ”
Ji Feicui shuddered for a moment, the old lady was really angry, so she hurriedly ran to her, and said resignedly: "Old ...... Old lady. ”
"Get on your knees."
Thinking that she had misheard, Ji Feiyu tentatively raised her head to look at her. The old lady said sharply again: "Do you want me to say it again?" ”
Ji Feicui looked at her mother aggrievedly, but saw that her mother shook her head secretly, so she had to kneel down obediently.
The old lady raised the cane in her hand and waved it, hitting Ji Feicui's body hard, accompanied by Ji Feicui's terrible scream, Mo Yu, who had just walked not far from the door, paused, turned her head to look at the door behind her, hesitated for a while, and after all, Tibu continued to move forward. In fact, the old lady didn't have to hide this scene in front of her, if she wanted to teach Jade a lesson, find a secluded place or go back to her own yard to teach a lesson. The reason why Mo Yu didn't go in to stop it was because she thought that Ji Jade's temperament also needed to teach less lessons and remember longer.
I want to do this trick with her, hmph, I don't know if she is a person who doesn't eat hard and soft?
The old lady waited for a long time, but she didn't see the figure of Moyu at the door, so she could only beat her heart twice, and finally was stopped by Ji Boyuan, Ji Boyuan knelt down and said: "Old lady, the jade body is delicate, let the grandson suffer this punishment for her!" ”
"Get out of the way." Then he said angrily to Ji Feicui: "It's useless for you to cry, how many times have I told you, Mo'er is now what it used to be, you are still so bent on going your own way, you are all on the verge of what I said last time, right?" ”
Ji Feicui endured the pain in her back and cried: "Old lady, I know it's wrong, please forgive the old lady." ”
"Forgive, do you think that if I forgive you, this matter will be over?" The old lady seemed to be tired of beating and scolding, and fell into the chair, and her injured cane almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, a sharp-eyed maid helped it in time. The old lady muttered, "If you had told me the truth last night, even if it was a landslide, I would have to send my husband up the mountain." But you didn't say anything, if Mo'er had three long and two short on the mountain last night, and there were Sikong family, Zhao family, and Ma Gonggong to testify, then the emperor would be able to spare you? Our Ji family has to be beheaded all over the house, and it will not be overcome. ”
Yuan Shi sneered: "Old lady, it's not that serious! ”
Ji Gangyang raised his head and said sharply: "You shut up for me, her temperament today is all what you are used to." After yelling at the Yuan clan and not daring to speak, Ji Gangyang looked at the children kneeling on the ground and said, "What did you do yesterday when you ran to Daxiangguo Temple for no reason, you just went, and brought the disaster to your home." From today onwards, until you get married, you are not allowed to go out for half a step. ”
If she is not allowed to go out again, isn't that killing her? Ji Feicui protested: "Dad...... She's fine, I'm ......" I wanted to say more, but the eldest brother next to me pulled him, and I had to give up. looked at the parents sitting around, as well as the aunt and maid she usually looked down on, all standing aside at the moment, watching her jokes. She secretly swore that she must be the queen, and let those who watched her jokes today all step under their feet, and she wanted Ji Moyu to repay the shame she suffered today.
The old lady looked at the hatred and ruthlessness in Jade's eyes, and couldn't help but shake her head, could it be that she chose the wrong person at the beginning? "You kneel here today, and you won't get up until later."
It's just past noon, do you want her to kneel here for three hours? Isn't her leg going to be ruined? Ji Gangyang said distressedly: "Mother, will it be too much, Mo'er doesn't mind Jade's fault at all." ”
The old lady said angrily: "You think I'm doing it for her, I'm doing it for the one next to her." ”
The person who has a little weight around Moyu is Ma Gonggong. What happened to Moyu in the Great Xiangguo Temple, this Ma Gonggong must have reported it to the emperor's ears word for word.
"You guys go down too, no one is allowed to say half a word about the things in this hall today, otherwise, the family law will deal with it." The old lady commanded, the punishment will be punished, but the ugliness of the family must not be publicized.
"Yes."
returned to Mo Lanxuan, and Ma Gonggong found his husband to diagnose Moyu's pulse. The husband prescribed some medicine and instructed Moyu to rest well and not be too careful, which was about the same as what the abbot in the Daxiangguo Temple said. Then he asked Ma Gonggong to rest, and it was estimated that he couldn't sleep well last night.
There are only Xiangrong and Biyue left in the house, it used to be Yunshang and Xiangrong who served her together, but now Biyue has replaced Yunshang, and she is really a little unaccustomed to it! "Xiangrong, you can go to sleep too, just stay with Biyue." Seeing that she was sullen, she smiled and said, "What's the matter, wasn't you happy just now?" ”
Xiang Rong pursed his lips and complained: "Niangniang, they went too far just now, and let you stand in the hall like that, not giving up your seat or serving tea." ”
Mo Yu smiled bitterly, "It's not that you don't know what kind of identity I have in this Ji Mansion, and how can I be on an equal footing with them." "What's more, Ji Feicui is about to enter the palace, and she is the master they want to support.
"Mother, you are really wronged. Anyway, you are also the imperial concubine, they don't give any face, just last night's incident, they didn't let the second lady come over to make amends for you. ”
"Your master, I am not a stingy person, besides, if they really let Ji Feicui come over to make amends for me, I would be strange! I'm curious, why don't you wait to see Yunshang? ”
Xiang Rong lowered his head and whispered: "Niang Niang didn't ask before, why do you only ask now?" ”
"Because I've been waiting for you to say it yourself, but you haven't said it until now."
"Because Niangniang hasn't paid much attention to her since she woke up, Niangniang doesn't pay attention to her, and she doesn't want to pay attention to her." She's not very smart, but she still has the strength in her eyes.
It turned out to be because of her, but no, with the relationship between the two of them, it won't change because of her. Mo Yu affirmed, "You're lying. ”
Thinking about being anxious, he stomped his toes and said, "I'm not lying. ”
If you don't lie, what if you believe it? One of the characteristics of wanting to lie is that when she lies, her eyes are always wandering out of nowhere. "You don't want to say that I don't force you, although you are not sisters, but the relationship is no worse than that of sisters, I don't want you to give up the friendship between you because of other things or other people."
"Niang Niang is no one else."
"What did you say?"
Xiang Rong seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing, lowered his head and closed his mouth, not daring to look at Mo Yu's eyes. Mo Yufu asked again, "Is it because of me?" ”
Xiang Rong lowered his head and whispered: "She hurt Niangniang." ”
Mo Yu looked at her in a slightly shocked light, she had never thought that she would know something about that incident. She is simple-minded and simple-minded, how could she possibly think of it? "Who told you that?"
Yunshang pointed to Biyue beside her and said, "What Biyue said, Biyue said that before Niangniang's accident, she was absent-minded all day long, and after Niangniang's accident, her whole person has changed, and there must be a ghost in her heart." ”
Mo Yucheng looked at Biyue and asked, "You said that?" ”
Biyue nodded, not speaking, as a default. Mo Yu's eyes were a little confused, how many people were not simple in her palace, or if she stayed in the palace for a long time, she could think of many things with a little wind and grass.
