Chapter 35: Sister and Brother
Cui Shangzhou is the nephew of the governor of the palace, Shi Cui Code, and Shangzhou is his character, and his real name is only one Shang character.
It is said that he is still one year older than Mu Xuan, and the two have been friends since childhood, and they are also Mu Xuan's only friends who still correspond.
Now that Mu Xuan called him and entrusted him with such a thing, Cui Shangzhou relied on his keen sense of smell, and said in his heart that this matter must not be simple. He had to be cautious.
"I heard that the county lord moved to Qixia Villa."
Mu Xuan heard Cui Shangzhou say this for no reason, and couldn't help but glance at him.
Cui Shangzhou saw that Mu Xuan still looked indifferent, and said with a smile: "You haven't stayed away from Hongchen yet, you must still have worries in your heart, take some time to visit." The lord of the county must be happy too. ”
Mu Xuan said: "Sister, I know that she can't rest assured of me." She's having a hard time right now. ”
Cui Shangzhou said: "It's not difficult, he is a county lord and has the title of the imperial court." It's just that she thinks about you, after all, it's a matter of peace of mind. ”
Mu Xuan was silent.
Cui Shangzhou is most familiar with Mu Xuan, but he knows that the point will stop, and he won't say anything deeper. He played two more games of chess with Mu Xuan, but he still didn't win a game, so he said goodbye.
After Cui Shangzhou left, Master Yuankong came to ask Mu Xuan to come over.
Master Yuankong is a very prestigious master in Puci Temple, whether it is Buddhism or martial arts are very exquisite, and familiar with medical science, know how to cure diseases and save people, and what is more rare is the bodhisattva's heart, compassion.
Mu Xuan has been fostered in Puci Temple since he was seven years old, worshipping under the seat of Master Yuankong. At that time, Mu Xuan's body was very sick, thanks to Master Yuankong, he gradually improved, and his body has become tougher in the past two years.
Seeing him coming, Master Yuankong nodded and said, "There is a set of "Baoxing Dharani Sutra" on the table that I borrowed from the Great Xiangguo Temple, and you can help me copy a copy." ”
Mu Xuan respectfully agreed.
"Master, there is still one thing to be done, and when that matter is settled, please cross me to become a monk."
Master Yuankong shook his head with a smile and said, "Your dust is not over, and the six roots are not purified, I can't cross you." ”
"Master!" Mu Xuan looked a little anxious.
Master Yuankong said slowly: "You have too many obsessions, I can't get you over for the time being." When you can give up your obsession and let go of your evil obstacles, I'll think about it. ”
Mu Xuan is determined to become a monk, and when he settles down with his sister and understands that matter, he will no longer have to worry about it, and he can let go of it.
Mu Xuan knew that her sister had moved to Qixia Villa, so she sent a jar of pickles made in the temple, and two boxes of vegetarian snacks made by herself in the temple, and asked Baokang to go to the villa.
When the lord of Duanhui County saw that his younger brother asked him to send these two things over, he was a little surprised, so he happily accepted them, and gave Baokang two taels of silver for the running expenses.
"Junhua, what has he been busy with lately?"
"Master asked the master to copy the scriptures."
"Oh, that's a good thing. You go back and ask him, I also want to offer a few sutras in front of the Buddha, and ask him what to offer. ”
Bao Kang remembered.
"Has anyone been visiting him lately?"
Bao Kang said: "The third master went to avoid the rain once, and Cui Qiye came." ”
The county lord of Duanhui naturally knew Cui Shangzhou, nodded and smiled: "They were in love when they were children, I didn't expect Junhua to be able to say a few words to him." So I'm relieved. By the way, I wonder if you can help me invite Cui Qi to come to me? ”
Baokang was a little embarrassed.
Dan Tangerine, who was beside the county lord of Duanhui, said busily: "There are also people around us, why bother the county lord with the uncle." ”
Lord Duanhui smiled: "This is also true. When the time comes, I'll go down the post to invite Cui Qi. ”
There were comings and goings, and the lord of Duanhui asked the maid to make two fine things for Baokang to take back.
It was only two days before the county lord of Duanhui moved to Qixia Villa and settled down, but he didn't expect Mu Xuan to get the news and ask someone to send her something. The county lord seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness when she went to visit Mu Xuan that day.
The county lord and the nurse discussed: "I hope that Junhua can get closer and closer to me." I'm just such a younger brother, I just think about him. ”
The nurse Chen was a little sour, the corners of her eyes were slightly moist, and she comforted her softly: "Uncle, he must be able to understand the county lord." It's just that the county lord must not be in a hurry, let's take our time in this matter, maybe the uncle will figure it out by then. There is no need for the county lord to spend any gods. If the two of you make any more trouble, you can only go further and further. ”
"I understand the reason, but how can I not be anxious. The second brother is two years younger than him, and the children are three years old. As for him, he looks like an outsider. How could the mother be happy when she saw it in the spirit of heaven. ”
Chen also watched Mu Xuan grow up, shook his head lightly and said, "Uncle, he has a bit of a twisted temperament, I'm afraid I have to follow his wishes." ”
Duanhui smiled: "Okay, let's not mention this for the time being, he still knows how to send me something, that is, he still cares about my sister." By the way, nurse, do you want to find someone to go to the Gu family to see, what is the character of the child in the Gu family, I'm afraid I have to inquire in detail. I'm afraid that I look gentle and gentle, but in fact, if I want to marry a dominatrix and come in, won't it hurt Junhua? ”
Chen called: "The county lord is a mother! ”
Duan Hui came back to his senses at this time, and said with a sneer: "Nurse, look at me, that's what you're thinking about." Only when this is done can I feel at ease. As he spoke, tears had already fallen.
Chen hurriedly handed over the handkerchief.
Duan Hui pressed the corner of his eye.
Chen's heart was not at all uncomfortable. She has been with the county lord for more than twenty years. The county lord used to have four nurses by his side, but now she is the only one who is still by the county lord's side.
Chan was widowed at a young age, and his only son died of smallpox when he was seven years old. Since then, she has been alone. The county lord asked her to stay by her side, in addition to the relationship between master and servant, but more but also retained the love of mother and daughter.
The lord of Duanhui married in Fujian at the age of eighteen. Just two months later, my father-in-law passed away, and he kept filial piety for three years. Finally, when the filial piety period ended, Chen was full of hope that the county lord could give birth to a few children, and she could still help, but he never thought that Yibin was sick, and no matter how many famous doctors he hired, it didn't have much effect. At that time, the county lord always cried where no one was. How can Chen not feel pain in his heart?
Yibin lingered on the sickbed for half a year, and finally returned to the west. The county lord is newly widowed, and there is no son and half daughter around him.
In fact, the Ji family originally didn't want the county lord to return, and many people in the clan wanted to succeed a son to the county lord to inherit the ancestry. What kind of heart those people have, it is obvious, fortunately, she wrote a letter to the prince, and the prince did not sit idly by, and took the county lord back to Bianliang.
The county lord has walked hard this way, and the Chen family can understand it better than anyone else, she only hopes that the county lord's life can be more stable in the future.
"County Lord, in the future, the uncle will become a relative and raise a child, so you can bring one over and raise it yourself."
Duan Huihan said with a smile: "My brother's child is naturally my child. I do my aunt's, of course I like it. Nurse, you said that Junhua would get married, right? ”
Chen smiled: "Maybe fate has not arrived, if fate has arrived, there is no need to worry about the county lord." ”
Duan Hui nodded thoughtfully.
