() The palace of the capital of Lijun.

Small Buddha Hall

The princess of the county, Jiang held the Buddha beads, silently knelt in front of the white jade Guanyin Buddha statue holding a clean bottle in her hand, reciting Buddhist scriptures with great devotion and doing morning classes.

She has been in the habit of getting up every morning (5 a.m. to 7 a.m.) to do an hourly morning class, which she has adhered to for many years. Today, she woke up early at the beginning of Yin (3 a.m. to 5 a.m.), and then couldn't sleep at all, so she simply got up and entered the small Buddha hall in advance.

Today is not a special day for others, but it is special for the people of their county palace.

Today is October 19, the birthday of her youngest daughter, Han Ying, who was just over two years old and was lost. The loss of the youngest daughter was not an accident, but **. Thinking of that year, the hatred in Jiang's eyes was still strong, although the culprit had committed suicide by taking poison. But her youngest daughter was never recovered. The government has almost given up searching. So far, no one knows what kind of situation the proud girl of heaven who should have been dressed and fed in fine clothes, but was surrounded by maids and grew up in a splendid pile?

When she gave birth to her youngest daughter, she had a small wishful birthmark on her wrist. So the nickname is Ruyi, and her wish is also to hope that everything goes well for her.

She still remembers what the monk said when she asked the monk to give Ruyi a fate. The monk said that her little daughter was born to her biological mother and could bring good luck to her biological mother, but it was a pity that their mother-daughter relationship was shallow.

At first, she mistakenly thought that her daughter's longevity was in the way, so she hurriedly asked, but the monk shook his head and refused to say more.

Because of the approval of the senior monk, she was really worried, afraid that the nurses and girls below would not take good care of her, so she kept an eye on it very tightly and did everything herself.

In those two years, she really felt that everything was going well. Even because of the arrival of his youngest daughter, the husband finally began to change his mind, and no longer stayed at his new favorite all day, but often stayed in her house. Tease his daughter has also become one of his most enthusiastic things.

Just when she was living more and more smoothly, she felt that her little daughter was really the lucky star in her life. Unsuspectingly, the unexpected happened.

On that day, because she wanted to enter the palace to congratulate the concubine Niangniang Niang Niang in the palace, she had to get up early to put on makeup, and when she left Ruyi, she was sleeping sweetly on her small bed. She still remembers the ** smell she smelled from her when she kissed her little face with joy.

She was afraid that she would cry when she woke up and couldn't see her, so she told the nurse and the waiter to coax her more. I thought it was just a short parting of one day, but it turned out to be a full twenty-five years away, and there is still no news.

After the incident, she felt like the sky was falling. Although the culprit was quickly found out, the slut refused to tell Ruyi's whereabouts, and took advantage of the unpreparedness of the person to take poison and died. And the nurse was poisoned by her a long time ago.

It turned out that the slut was unwilling after being slowly snubbed by her husband. I didn't know where I heard about the monk's approval, and I felt that it was her wishful thinking that hindered her. feels that only by getting rid of Ruyi can she have a chance to get her husband's favor again. So he planned for a long time, pinched the weakness of the nurse, and threatened her to secretly take Ruyi away and throw it away. In the past, because she watched too closely, they couldn't find the opportunity to start until the **** was about to enter the palace.

……

Xiang Gong was also greatly stimulated by this incident, and he personally led people to interrogate. At that time, she didn't care about anything anymore, and all she could think about was to find her wish. She almost went crazy when she knew that the slut would rather die than tell Ruyi's whereabouts.

The prime minister was hit hard and dismissed all the concubines, and since then he has focused on her alone. To this day, he is the only one and has no concubines. Over the years, I have become more and more interested in her. But she couldn't be happy anymore, she didn't want anything, she just wanted her wishful thinking to come back to her.

That year, the Lijun Royal Mansion sent out a large number of people to search, but found nothing, and searched for a whole year, spending countless manpower and financial resources, and was really helpless to give up, leaving only a few people to continue to investigate in secret. But after so many years, there is still no news of her Ruyi, and she has not been able to find it back.

Are they really mother-daughter relationships?

The search was fruitless, she pinned her hopes on the monk who approved the order for Ruyi back then, and begged to come to the door many times and made all kinds of promises, but the monk only saw her once, just shook his head and sighed, and there was no word. After that, he refused to see her again, and only let the little novice pass on the message to let her do more good deeds to accumulate yin virtue for her little daughter.

It was also from that time that she became accustomed to worshipping the Buddha every day, and she even promised in front of the Buddha that as long as she was allowed to find her wish, she was willing to donate 50,000 taels of silver to rebuild the main hall for the Huguo Temple and recast the golden body for the Buddha.

Over the years, she has spent a lot of money every year to do good deeds, giving porridge, repairing bridges, and relieving widows, widows and children...... On weekdays, he is also kind to the subordinates in the house, especially to those little maids who sold themselves into the house at a young age, and they are even more kind and patient, and they will never beat and scold them lightly, and they can't see others beating and scolding them at will, let alone making murder or something. She only begged that what she did could accumulate virtue for her wishes, at least so that she could live peacefully even if she was just coarse tea and light rice.

It's been twenty-five years in the blink of an eye, and she often wakes up in the middle of the night from nightmares over the years, and then can't sleep all night. She didn't dare to think about what might happen to her Ruyi, or even whether she was still alive in this world? Such worries, such worries and fears poke her heart day and night like a knife. She never had peace.

As she gets older, the more worried she becomes, and she is really afraid that she will not be able to see the little daughter she longs for when she closes her eyes.

At this time, the maids and ladies standing outside the house all had extremely solemn and vigilant expressions, and they did not dare to make a single sound, for fear of disturbing the people in the house.

The old people who have been serving in the mansion for a long time know what day it is, even the newcomers who have just entered the mansion will be mentioned again and again by the steward, and no one dares to make any mess on this day, and cause something to make the masters, especially the old lady, unhappy.

Although the masters will never punish people on such a special day as today, and they will not settle accounts after the autumn because of this in the future. But what is more terrible than punishment is that committing a crime on this day will make the masters pay more attention than usual, and they will remember themselves because of it, and they will be disgusted with themselves because of it.

Even if the masters in the house don't beat and scold lightly, let alone kill people casually, they are very kind. But what good can be done to those who are disgusted by their masters? The final result is nothing more than that after a period of time, the steward found the wrong place and sent it out.

You must know that if you go to the capital to find it, how many families can live a better life than the people in their Lijun Palace? Being sent out is not only laughed at, but also lost face to grandma's house. It's going to make people feel distressed. Such a good home, where can such a good welfare be found again? There are many nobles in the capital, but most of the nobles have bad tempers.

Therefore, not to mention the slaves and maids, the servants are cautious not only not daring to have problems on this day of the year, but also working harder than usual. People who have been serving the old lady for a long time will automatically wake up at least an hour earlier than usual on this day, just because they are afraid that the old lady will not be able to sleep and get up early.

It can't be that the master and the son are all up, and the slave and maid are still high and the bed is soft and the pillow is sleeping! Of course, if this day is smooth, the benefits are not without benefits. At least it is a reward of one more month's money.

Not only are people looking forward to a smooth and smooth life on this day every year, even the big and small owners of the family, including the third young master who is the most noisy on weekdays, who only didn't go to the house to uncover the tiles all day, and who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and who is almost unconvinced, is also obedient and does not dare to act rashly on this day. Not to mention anything else, this **** not only does not dare to cause trouble, but even the pace of walking is light and light.
