Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Reason for Sending the Sheep's Horn Hairpin
Youwei sat for a while, and said to Ciyue with a wry smile: "The word Lingyue is more suitable for you, you are so smart and lively, but you are forced to change to Ciyue, do you really want to become a monk?" I don't know how the master named you, it turned out to be such a coincidence, Yiyue is bent on finding a good home to rely on, your name is obviously very good, but it looks like Mrs. Ciyue...... As for hugging the moon, it really looks like hugging my thigh. Speaking of this, Youwei couldn't help but smile and said, "I'll make a decision for you, it's better to be cremated, burn it clean and leave no traces, this is very similar to your style, bury you in the soil and then slowly decay and disappear, I can't bear to ...... you like this."
Outside the door, Wan Niang spoke softly: "Little lady, it's almost time, Master Shen Si is still waiting for you." ”
Youwei stood up and straightened her clothes, and after one last look at Ciyue, she turned around and left the room, and when she heard the sound of Wanniang closing the door, she realized that there was really a fresh life that had left.
Mrs. Shensi's room is very clean and tidy, a table, a bed, a tatami mat is placed in the room, and there is a big "Zen" word hanging on the wall, Mrs. Shen sat on the stepping rice, saw Youwei coming, stood up and invited Youwei to sit on the table in the middle of the hall, after Youwei sat down, a nun came forward to pour a cup of tea for her, and Youwei nodded to express her gratitude.
The fragrance of tea lingers, Youwei's previous sad mood has been somewhat calmed, and her expression is much calmer, last time she was in a hurry and didn't look at Mrs. Shen Si, but now she came to meet gently, looked a few more times, and saw that this Mrs. was dressed in a blue nun suit, with a long face, indifferent eyebrows and eyes, and her skin was very delicate.
Shen Si Shitai spoke: "What happened after Ciyue's death, I don't know what the little lady is planning?" “
Youwei said, "Please cremate Ciyue." “
After Shen Si Shi said Amitabha, he took out a small wooden box and handed it to Youwei, Youwei took it and looked at it, the box is an ordinary wooden box, it looks like it has been a few years, the corners of the box are a little paintless, Youwei opened the box, and at first glance saw the hairpin that Ye Scar gave her before, the box is a real hairpin, and I don't know when Ye Scar put the hairpin here without knowing it, and Youwei will take it on her head in the future, and there is a reason to be convinced, and because of the deep love of the master and servant, the hairpin is not too precious, But the style is simple, it doesn't look like a **, and it shouldn't be a joke.
The rest is broken silver, it should be the salary that Ciyue took in the mansion before, Youwei took out the hairpin, and said to Mrs. Shen Si: "Please accept the silver in the box, I want to take this hairpin back for a thought." ”
Mrs. Shen Si didn't excuse herself, so she asked a nun to accept the box and salute Youwei: "I haven't seen you for half a year, are the donors okay?" ”
Seeing that her tone seemed to be very familiar, Youwei estimated that the relationship with the previous Youwei should be good, and said thoughtfully: "It's all good." ”
Shen Si Shi Tai smiled and said: "The donor lived in the nunnery before, and was not used to it, but now he lives in another courtyard, and he is quiet alone, and he is much more mature and stable. “
Youwei didn't know how to speak for a while, so she had to smile modestly. Wan Niang smiled and said: "I have always said that the little lady is very sensible, but I am worried that Mrs. will no longer like her to cry, in the end, it is a child, Shen Si Shi Tai wants to accompany you, you have resigned, now that you are so sensible, Shi Tai does not have to bother anymore." “
Mrs. Shen Si was ashamed: "It's not enough to bother, it all depends on the donor's natural intelligence." ”
Youwei asked the doubts that had been buried in her heart: "Mrs. Shen Si, may I ask when Ciyue wanted to shave her hair and become a nun, why did you say that she was not red?" ”
Shen Si Shi was silent for a long time, and said: "When Ciyue came to Baihe Nunnery, it was not called Ciyue, but Lingyue, and the poor nun felt that this name was very appropriate for her, but she begged to become a monk when she first came, and the poor nun thought that she was not a free body, and your mansion did not let go of the deed of sale, and the poor nun did not dare to make her own opinion, so she had to change her name first, and appease her for the time being. ”
Youwei can understand the suffering of the teacher, it is not easy for an abbot to take charge of the huge White Crane Nunnery, although it is a pure land of Buddhism, but also in the world, it is impossible to completely ignore the powerful, and how many nuns in the nunnery also have to wait for the incense money to feed. So he bowed slightly to Mrs. Shensi: "I understand what Mrs. Shi means, and I don't blame Mrs. Shi, I think it's a good thing for Ciyue to leave so cleanly." “
After a few polite words, Youwei took Wanniang and Baoyue to leave the White Crane Nunnery, without asking the nun to send it, after all, it is not very far, the pace is faster, and it will be there in fifteen minutes.
When she returned to the house to rest, Youwei took out the hairpin taken out of the box and looked at it in her hand, this time she could look carefully, this hairpin is like a sheep's horn shape, the hairpin flower is two small pearls, the hairpin should be made of bones, it may be a cow bone, hold it in your hand, scraping is OK, although the material is not expensive, but the style is still good, you can pin it on your head.
Wan Niang poured water for Youwei, and saw that Youwei was looking at this hairpin, thinking that the little lady was still sad, so she persuaded: "The little lady is sad this time, no matter how sad she is, her body is not good, Ciyue will be uneasy underground, it is better to clean up her mood as soon as possible, so that Ciyue can really rest assured." ”
A few days later, it was Qinggu Day, the rain was dripping and dripping, and the carriages and horses in the house came to deliver food and new styles of clothes cut in the New Year, this time it was Aunt Zhao who came, she smiled and blessed Youwei, and said, "The little lady has been okay lately?" ”
Youwei smiled and nodded, called the hug moon and gave the seat to Aunt Zhao, and said, "I've been doing well lately, I don't know how my father and mother are?" ”
Aunt Zhao looked a little embarrassed and said, "Madame, wait for the little lady to go back soon, but the old man...... He lost his temper and said how could Ciyue die? ”
Were fathers so ruthless in ancient times? Ignore her own daughter, but worry about whether the girl who is about to be her concubine is dead or alive, although Youwei is not the biological daughter of Zhao Xiaoyong, but she also understands Youwei's mood very well, such a father, her mother also worships Buddha all day long, I feel that I don't care about the world, it's not much fun to live, I don't even have a person who makes decisions for myself, plus my brother was born, and I drilled the tip of the horn to find death, no one can stop it, and I don't blame Wanniang's so-called disloyalty to accompany the master to die, such a psychologically fragile person, why should he pull others to accompany the funeral?
Aunt Zhao saw that Youwei was silent, so she had to persuade: "Little lady don't worry, you and the master are father and daughter, as the saying goes: kiss or not, break the bones and connect the tendons, although Ciyue is dead, but you are the daughter of the master, this is a fact that there is no way to change, the slave persuades the little lady to coax the master more when she goes back, and it is estimated that it will be fine." By the way, the next time I come again, it will be the day when the little lady returns home, during this time, the slave will send someone to clean up here for the little lady, and then the carriage and horses will be pulled away together, so it is more convenient, and there is no need to work too much, what about the little lady? ”
Youwei nodded and smiled: "I'm very happy to finally go home, and I'm also bothered that Aunt Zhao will say hello to my father and mother for me, so I don't have to worry about my daughter." ”
