Chapter 36: The Prophet of the Temple Fair (2)

On the second day, Qiao'er still went to Zhou's mansion to study with Zhou Fuxiang as agreed, and Li Shun had nothing to do recently, so he gave him a ride with Ban'er every day, and went to Zhuangzi to take care of the cattle and sheep. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Qingping because she saw Qiao'er, all her thoughts were on her, and she was always listening to Zhou Fuxiang's movements in the room, but mortals praised Sister Qiao for how good she couldn't help but smile, so others didn't know, they thought she had a very good temper and liked to be close to her.

But it was said that Qiao'er was in Zhou Fuxiang's place, because of Mrs. Zhou's instructions, food, housing and living were treated like Zhou Fuxiang, that is, Zhou Fuxiang was not in front of him for a moment, and the maids in his room, Danyang Mingyue and the like, were also very grateful to her because they liked Qiao'er's grace and dexterity, so they were not affected, only the same as they were originally in Jiafu.

Counting the days, I didn't realize that it had come to March 28, and it was the day when Zhou Fufu heard that Zhou Fuxiang was going to visit the temple fair, so he prepared neatly early, and packed a few fruits such as shortbread, steamed buns, mint fans, and joy groups in a brocade box, which were reserved for gifts. And he plucked a basket of flowers, and took them with the little maids, and kept them for sacrifice.

Zhou Fuxiang took his four sons, Wu'er Lu'er, Ban'er Qiao'er, and two people who led horses and felts to the temple. I saw that the wind was open, and the drizzle moistened the fragrant dust. When Bao Lao circled on the street, the puppets all over the city jumped. Spring flowers and sideburns reflect black money, and spring willows invade the robe to welcome the green ribbon. The flags and flags in the city are dancing wildly, and the street children are noisy, and the end is very lively.

Qiao'er followed by the side, Zhou Fuxiang remembered that his body was thin, and he was afraid that more people would crowd him, so he couldn't help but stretch out his hand to protect her. Qiao'er wanted to speak and stopped, so she had to put aside the taboo between men and women, watched a hundred plays, and followed everyone to visit a few stalls with grimace masks. Zhou Fuxiang saw that she liked it, and bought a Kunlun slave mask for her, and Ban'er smiled to help her bring it.

Several people walked through the crowd, and finally crowded to the temple to offer incense and pray for blessings. Qiao'er saw that the Holy Emperor on the throne was majestic and upright, thinking of the unpredictable changes of royal grace, and her heart was sad, so she took a stick of incense and said in her heart: Since you are the emperor, how can you disregard the lives of your people, even if you are guilty, you should be dealt with according to the law, so unclear and unfair, what is the use of worship?

I was so distracted that I didn't see the incense burning to my fingertips, so I hurriedly inserted the incense into the incense case and blew with my fingers. Over there, Zhou Fuxiang and Ban'er were also praying devoutly, and Sister Qiao looked around, but she didn't expect to hear the person behind her: "What a handsome sister-in-law, I don't know if it's a monk in this temple who is hiding secrets." ”

Qiao'er was disgusted with the person's filthy words, frowned and looked at it, and was stunned at a glance, who is the sister-in-law who is wrapped in a green shirt and wearing a plain hat if she is not Xichun?

Xichun was holding a bowl at this time, and when he saw that the man was not speaking cleanly, he was disgusted in his heart, but his face was not colored, and he avoided his body and was about to go around. Qiao'er saw that she was leaving, and she was so panicked that she didn't have time to say a word to Ban'er, so she pulled her heel over. It is resistant to crowd congestion, and with a flash of skill, you can't see the shadow of cherishing spring. In a hurry, she stomped her feet again and again, but she couldn't tell the head and tail, and only squeezed around in the crowd, bound to find out Xichunlai.

In the end, sincerity is spiritual, as soon as she turned around from the sea of people, Qiao'er saw Xichun with her back to herself, standing at the intersection to pray for the people who gave alms. Unable to care about a lot, Qiao'er rushed over from the crowd, grabbed Xichun's sleeve and called out happily: "Fourth aunt." ”

Xichun was still chanting in his mouth, and when he heard this call, he was intuitively surprised, and he looked at it after a while, and saw a beautiful boy standing beside him, with autumn water in his eyes, looking at himself earnestly. Even though the clothes have changed, Xichun can still recognize it, and there is no doubt that it is his own Qiao sister.

She was about to speak, but suddenly saw that there were many people around her, and thinking of her current situation, it was better not to know her, so she turned her head and hurriedly walked away: "Childe admitted that he was wrong, I am not a fourth aunt." ”

Qiao'er didn't understand why she was so evasive, so she hurriedly chased after her and grabbed Xichun's shirt and said, "Anyone can admit mistakes, can my own aunt also admit mistakes?" Is my aunt doing well now, why did she end up here? ”

Xichun couldn't get rid of it, so he couldn't help but be anxious and annoyed, and scolded Qiao'er with a cold face: "Why are you so messing around, and you are too rude to treat monks." Hongchen and I have been separated by two lifetimes, even if I am really your fourth aunt, and now that I have escaped into the empty door, there is nothing between you and me, and the son does not have to follow me anymore. ”

As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and hurried out of the crowd. Qiao'er froze in place, she couldn't imagine that this aunt was really cold-hearted and cold-faced, and she didn't even recognize her six relatives. Raising her eyes and looking out with Xichun's figure, Qiao'er saw that her back was in rags, although it was clean and elegant, it was full of patches, where was the appearance of everyone in the Houmen Mansion in the past? Looking at himself again, he didn't dare to show his true face, and he couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, but he still ignored Xichun's dissuasion, forcibly chased after him, took out all the copper plates in his sleeves, and put them all into the copper bowl of Xichun.

Xichun's face stiffened, and he stretched out his hand to take it out and return it to him, but was held down by Qiao'er, and said meaningfully: "Master Fangcai said, you and I have nothing to do anymore, so other people's alms masters can accept it, why don't my alms masters accept it?" Do monks also care about how much or too little? If the master really feels sorry for me, then please ask the master to pray for me once. As he spoke, he looked straight at Xichun and waited for her to reply.

Xichun's mind moved slightly, since the family was broken, she has seen through the three springs, and she only focuses on chanting the scriptures every day, and she can't imagine that one day she can reunite with the deceased. With a long sigh of relief in his mouth, Xichun looked at the unwavering expression of the person in front of him, and secretly said that this Qiao sister really has a bit of her mother's strength, and saw that although she was coarse cloth clothes, it was difficult to hide her natural luxury, and it could be regarded as the blessing of Jiafu Zude, so she couldn't help but feel pity, so she changed her tone and said softly: "Since Gongzi said so, it should also be considered that you and I are destined, Xiao Ni is not talented, and he has also learned the art of seeing physiognomy in the past, it is better to Bu Yibu for the future of Gongzi, and it can be regarded as Xiao Ni to repay Gongzi's generosity." ”

Qiao'er was overjoyed when she heard this, so she really stretched out her hand and said, "In this way, there is Master Lao." ”

Xi Chunlian didn't dare, so he took Sister Qiao'er's hand, carefully looked at the lines in her palm, and recited the Buddha: "Amitabha, what did the son see when he went out today?" ”

Qiao'er thought about it for a while, thinking that it was the beginning of spring, so she replied: "Under the Yanqi beam, there are all kinds of waste to be revived." ”

Xichun smiled unconsciously: "That's it, in the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people." Childe, although you are in imminent trouble, but the blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and there will naturally be your benefits in the future. Remember not to covet glory and wealth, and be sure to withdraw early. ”

Qiao'er hurriedly said: "Is it imminent? Can you tell me how difficult it is? ”
