Chapter 197: One after another
Kaiyang and Shaoguang both nodded and said, "Yes." β
"Where have you seen it?" Chen Qiuniang immediately asked, with irrepressible excitement in her heart.
"A few years ago, we accompanied Mrs. Luo to Chengdu Mansion and met at the Mansion of Grand Prince Luo. At that time, it was also four people playing around the table. Master Luo said that this is called horse hanging. Shake your mouth quickly, and answer crisply.
When Chen Qiuniang heard this, she was a little disappointed in her heart. Horse hanging can not be brought by traversers, and horse hanging was very popular among the nobles before the Song Dynasty.
"Exactly like me?" Chen Qiuniang pointed to the small bamboo mahjong she took out. She is a unique way to play in modern Sichuan, with only 10,000 tubes, a total of 1808 sheets. There is a lack of one to say that you can win.
Shaoguang and Kaiyang came over to take a closer look, shook their heads, and said, "It's different, the horse hanging they play has more cards than this, and there are suits." β
"This, this is a horse crane. Amitabha, the four major monks are empty, how can they participate in gambling. As soon as the monk heard that this was a horse hanging, he immediately stood up and refused.
"Master, this is not a horse hanging, this is called mahjong. Besides, since the four are empty, how can you care if this is gambling or not? Isn't Go gambling? It's just that there are more or fewer people involved, and the different paths are the same, and they are the same as Zen meditation. Chen Qiuniang said very strictly.
"That's it, that's it, even if it's the same as Go, but the rules are different. Since the four masters are empty, and they can use Go to participate in Zen, then the horse hanging must also be possible. The shaking light immediately echoed, and the voice was crisp.
Chen Qiuniang glanced at it, the guy blinked his eyes, made a grimace, looked proud, looked at Chen Qiuniang and asked, "Childe." That's what you mean, right? β
"It seems that the shaking light is also very deep-rooted." Chen Qiuniang said with a smile.
"Hey, the little Huigen is very deep. The younger one and Brother Kaiyang are both weak, and they have to be associated with Buddhism since they were young. Therefore, he has long been half a cultivator. Shaking Light smiled, then looked at Kaiyang and said. Otherwise, why would we have such strange names? β
"This is what your master gave you?" Chen Qiuniang counted the mahjong, and took out two dice made of cow bones and threw them on the table. She made this mahjong before, and since then she has been busy with the opening of Yunlai Hotel, and she hasn't used it yet. Even if you get here today to pass the time, it's disgusting monks.
"yes. It's the name of the star in the Big Dipper. Shaoguang replied, Kaiyang sat on the side and just nodded, and the whole person seemed very quiet.
"This. This is unacceptable, unacceptable, this is gambling. As soon as the monk saw that the dice were thrown, he hurriedly stood up and excused himself, and said a few words "Amitabha".
Chen Qiuniang sighed and said, "Master, this kind of thing is in the gambling house, that is gambling." In the land of Buddhism, it is the utensils for meditation. Besides, in the eyes of the Buddha. Everything is the same, everything is different, it's just that people's hearts are not clean. The master does not need to panic. There is a lot of stuff in this mahjong. β
"Amitabha." The monk continued to pretend, as if playing mahjong was a sin.
He couldn't stand it, so he pouted and said, "Master, you are too rigid about form. To put it irreverently, your Dharma is not worthy of your robe, this title. β
When the monk heard this, he couldn't sit still. I kept saying that I couldn't anger the Buddha or anything.
Chen Qiuniang was tired of hearing this, so she threw the dice on the table. Some angrily said: "I am full of joy, I thought that the master really did not dislike it. To discuss the Dharma with the following. But I didn't expect the master to just say it on the surface. β
"Donor, the monks don't speak." The monk immediately explained.
Chen Qiuniang pouted, raised her eyes to look at him, and said: "There are winners and losers in that game of Go, if you put your life on the line, it is also gambling; This mahjong, even if you lose the dice, but you have never had a fortune or property, even if you win or lose, it is not gambling. Why does the master look down on this mahjong game? β
The monk was speechless for a while, but the shaking light stood up, pulled the monk to the table and sat down, and said: "Master, Zi said: If you are a threesome, there will be my teacher." This Dharma is the same principle, you have to listen more, watch more, try more, and understand more, so that you can truly comprehend and become a generation of grandmasters. β
This shaking light is really not an idle person, where is this remark that a small guy could say? Chen Qiuniang couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at the shaking light. I saw that the woman dressed as a little girl had red lips and white teeth, and her face was like translucent jade, and under the reflection of the candle flame, there was an indescribable charm, but the small dimples on the lips diluted this charm and turned it into a cunning agility. This shaking light is really a beauty, but I don't know which one it is.
In Chen Qiuniang's thoughts at this moment, the senior monk had been pulled into the seat by Shaguang. Shaoguang also took a seat, and said with a smile: "Childe, teach us." β
"Okay." Chen Qiuniang said with a smile, and then talked about the simple Sichuan mahjong rules, what is the same color, with a unit, flowers on the bar, wind and rain, the monk, shake the light, Kaiyang are extremely smart people, played seven or eight handfuls, the rules or something will be understood.
"Childe, why don't we get some chips to do the math?" Playing and fighting, Shake Light put forward this Jianyì.
"Nope." The monk was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and immediately became a little furious, saying, "If you take the chips, that's gambling." β
Shake the light pursed his lips and said, "The master is always so rigid about form. β
The monk didn't speak, Chen Qiuniang didn't speak, Kaiyang was a stuffy gourd, and it was no fun to shake the light. The four of them play mahjong by themselves, you come and go. After a round of fighting, Shaoguang couldn't help but ask: "Childe, to be honest, the rules of your horse crane are still very fun, but I have never seen anyone play before." Did you think of it yourself? β
"It's not." Chen Qiuniang originally wanted to say "yes", but she thought that this thing probably didn't exist in this time and space, and she brought this rule in, so let this mahjong rule become the first ecstasy card of the treasure clue.
"Ah, who is that? It's a rule that's really unassailable. "Shake the light or talk a lot.
"This is a silk silk that my father and mother threw on my quilt when they abandoned me. My grandmother and adoptive parents were not very literate, so they put it away. Later, when I went to school, I took it and looked at it, and I figured out this thing. "Chen Qiuniang made up such a story, as for whether there is such a thing as silk. Then it depends on whether the other party is meticulous or not. If the other party can't wait, he wants to arrest her back to Bianjing, then. Just take one step at a time. Anyway, she didn't plan to do it.
"Yikes. That's what your own mom and dad invented. Shake Light said with a grin.
Chen Qiuniang let out an "oh" and said, "Sort of." A nine-cylinder in his hand was punched out, and Kaiyang was silent. Shaking the light and said that he wanted to go out of Gong, the monk stood up and said that he was going to patrol the night, and Kaiyang got up to cut the lanterns. All of a sudden, a table of mahjong pairs dispersed.
Chen Qiuniang stretched her waist, leaned against the window alone and looked at the moonlight outside the house, and secretly analyzed: Is this shaking light friend or foe? Could it be that this Kaiyang Shaking Light was actually sent by the one from Bianjing? And Xibao is not trusting them. It's a last resort. Could it be that something happened at home?
When she thought of home, she suddenly felt a chill all over her body. All along, she hoped that Chen Qiusheng and them could stay away from these rights and wrongs. The fate of tragedy should belong to her alone. However, if she wants them to stay away, can she really stay away?
She has always been afraid that she will become Zhang Ci's weakness and become the pawn of the other party to threaten Zhang Ci; can think about it: Isn't his family, including the biological mother who is still in the Bianjing Palace, also his weakness, and become the pawn of the other party to threaten him?
Then, this qiΔ that I have done for so long is a little clever. It's all a fortress on the beach, and when the water rushes away, there's nothing.
She suddenly understood, and immediately felt very frustrated.
"Childe. It's late at night, so don't go to Zen, go to bed early, and listen to the Dharma tomorrow. Cui yawned and came out of the house and told her to sleep.
She turned to look at Xiao Cui, who was yawning, and said, "Xiao Cui, I want to go home." β
Her crying words suddenly scared Xiaocui's sleepiness away. She couldn't help but look at it wide-eyed, and hurriedly asked, "Who, who, who bullied the son?" Son. Childe, are you alright? You guys. Which of you bullied Childe? β
"We don't, we're playing mahjong all the time." Kaiyang cut the lanterns. Asked in some surprise.
"It must be that you are not attentive." Xiaocui stood beside Chen Qiuniang, like coaxing a child, and said, "Childe, childe, if you are homesick, we will go back tomorrow." We've done enough with Zhu Gongzi. If he knows something, he will definitely appreciate you. β
"Well, Xiaocui, I just want to go home." Chen Qiuniang still felt vulnerable, and she didn't care who this Xiaocui was, so she just said so.
Na Shaoguang happened to come back from going to the toilet, and when he heard Chen Qiuniang crying faintly, he was also startled, and asked, "Son, what's wrong?" β
"Childe wants to go home." Cui replied.
"Oh? Didn't the hi housekeeper say that it would take five more days? He said he would stay for seven days. Shake the light replied.
Chen Qiuniang was very depressed, and only said, "You guys go to sleep, I'll go to sleep too." Then she went into the house and lay down. Xiao Cui was very worried, and hurriedly came in and stood by the window and whispered, "Childe, have you thought of anything bad?" β
Chen Qiuniang hugged the quilt and turned over, ignoring Xiaocui. Xiao Cui said again: "Childe, don't be afraid, don't be defeated by yourself." You're not alone. β
"What do you mean?" Chen Qiuniang was blown up by this sentence, and instantly turned over, her eyes were as cold as knives, and she asked in a deep voice.
Xiaocui was taken aback, hurriedly stroked her chest, and whispered, "Childe, you scared your son to death." The maid's sentence is to say, 'Childe is not alone, Childe also has Chen Gongzi, Panqing, Xiaoqing, Xibao, and even many good friends. If there is anything, everyone will definitely help you. The maid just said this when she saw that the son seemed to be desperate. In the past, Childe always taught us to be subordinates, saying that we will encounter many difficulties in life, but we can't calculate our ability and despair, because you never know how many people around you can help people, and sometimes even God will help you. The maid always remembered Childe's words, and when she encountered a dilemma that seemed to be unsolvable, she persevered, worked hard, and did not give up. β
Xiao Cui lowered her voice and said slowly. Chen Qiuniang's dagger was held tightly in her sleeve, and listening to Xiao Cui's words, she already understood that Xiao Cui didn't seem to want to hide her identity at the moment. Otherwise, how could a house-born maid who grew up in a family like Chen Wenzheng's family have any inextricable dilemma, and how could a house-born maid not know the weather conditions in Shuzhong.
After Xiao Cui finished speaking, she stood in front of the bed with her eyes down, and her demeanor was very respectful. Chen Qiuniang maintained a motionless posture sitting on the bed. After a long time, Xiao Cui said: "My son-in-law asked the servant to serve the son, and let the servant try his best to protect the son." If the son is in danger. The servant should be protected by broken bones. β
At first glance, this sentence seems reasonable. But as soon as Chen Qiuniang heard it, she heard the clue that Chen Wen was in Chen's mansion. Seldom communicate with subordinates. There are only two of his personal maids, Xiaoqing and Siqi. Then there was only one Pan Qing who was close to him. He was not familiar with other subordinates, and he didn't trust them, even if he asked Xiao Cui to serve her, how could he say such a thing. Then, the son that Xiaocui said is someone else.
The first thing she thought of was Zhang Ci. However, she had no intention of asking. Because the shape is too complicated, it is difficult to guarantee that no one is pretending to be Zhang Ci. So, she just sighed. Say, "Thank you, Cui." β
Xiao Cui smiled happily and said, "Childe doesn't think nonsense, just rest, if you want to go back tomorrow, the maid will start to prepare." β
Chen Qiuniang nodded, then pulled the quilt and fell asleep.
She slept until mid-day, and when she woke up, the puja held for Zhu Wenkang was nearing the end. She was not feeling well, so she did not participate.
Xiao Cui waited for her to freshen up. When asked if she wanted to go back, Chen Qiuniang said that there were still five days of the festival and that she would not go back until it was over.
Yes. She can't be decadent halfway, even if it's a fortress on the beach, it must be built beautifully, and before the big waves come, she has to use it as bait to break the game.
In the afternoon of the same day, she asked Kaiyang to follow the convoy in the temple back to Liuhe Town to pick up clothes, citing the lack of daily necessities. Originally, she still wanted to transfer away the shaking light, but all parties should leave some people here. So, she let Shake Light stay. Only let Kaiyang go.
Kaiyang was transferred, and only Shaoguang and Xiaocui remained. Night. The senior monk still came to discuss Buddhism with Chen Qiuniang, but he resolutely did not play mahjong.
Chen Qiuniang was not reluctant, and only let Shaoguang and Xiaocui serve outside the house. And she and the monk drank tea in the house and talked about some boundless Buddhist words. At the third watch, the monk suddenly got up, dipped the tea and wrote on the table: "Qiu Niang." β
She was a little sleepy, but when she suddenly saw the monk's actions, she couldn't help but look up at him. The monk smiled. And it was that smile that made Chen Qiuniang's heart cold first, and then happy.
The smile of the monk in front of her, she was too familiar, it was Zhu Wenkang's unique smile. Her heart was cold, because she saw that Zhu Wenkang was really alive, and she was happy, because the layout of the past few days had finally been in vain.
"Youβ" She just said a word, and then covered her mouth.
Zhu Wenkang still smiled lewdly, and continued to write on the table: "I didn't expect Qiu Niang to treat me like this." β
"Why are you here?" She also dipped her tea and wrote on the table.
"I'm not at ease that you're here." He continued to write.
"Your face?" Chen Qiuniang pointed to his face.
"Transfiguration, Human Skin Mask." Zhu Wenkang said proudly.
"Is that the person in the coffin of Zhufu you?" Chen Qiuniang continued.
"That's my stand-in. On that day, Qiu Niang came to mourn, and I heard every word. I think of Zhu Wenkang in this life, but I can still be treated like this by Qiu Niang. Zhu Wenkang lifted the robe and continued to write on the table.
Chen Qiuniang pursed her lips tightly, as if tears were about to fall, and she couldn't say a word. She was really excited, she didn't expect God to still be on her side, and she really let her blow up Zhu Wenkang.
"Don't cry." He wrote.
"I thought you went." Chen Qiuniang wrote a nonsense.
Zhu Wenkang laughed silently and wrote: If it weren't for the housekeeper's efforts to stop it, I would have gone to look for you that day. But the butler said, "Don't be exposed."
Chen Qiuniang nodded, and continued: The housekeeper is suspicious of me. You're suspicious of me, aren't you?
As soon as she finished writing, she bit her lip and looked at him very aggrieved.
"Don't cry, don't cry. I'm laying it out, in order to bring out the behind-the-scenes scenes of the kid who saved Chai Yu. To tell the truth, that person saved Chai Yu just to deal with my Zhu family. Qiu Niang, layout, there is no way. "Zhu Wenkang is a pervert who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, and he writes very quickly.
Chen Qiuniang nodded, and then asked him: Aren't you afraid that I really led you out of the layout?
He smiled and said, "I can see the friendship you have with me." If that day was false, but then I came to Qingquan Temple to recite the sutra for me. That night, he was not afraid to provoke evil spirits, so he knelt at the door of the main hall. Qiu Niang, how can I doubt it.
"Thank you, Master." Chen Qiuniang said such a sentence.
He clasped his hands together and said "Amitabha", and then the two began to write on the table again. Chen Qiuniang asked Zhu Wenkang about hot issues. This boy really knows everything.
It's just that his knowledge is really limited, and most of what he says is useless. Chen Qiuniang combed through his words and only came up with a few useful pieces of information.
First, he only knows that the person who does this bureau is the old butler. As for whether there is anyone else, he does not know. As for why he wanted to listen to the old housekeeper, Zhu Wenkang looked embarrassed, saying that only after Chen Qiuniang married and gave birth to the heirs of the Zhu family, could he tell the shocking secret of the Zhu family.
Second, the purpose of their game, Zhu Wenkang said that on the one hand, what the housekeeper said was for his safety, because someone would definitely kill him in the near future. And they are going to do what they do, to make this game, to let the enemy relax their vigilance, so as to expose their feet. As for the person who killed Zhu Wenkang in front of the teahouse, it was really Chai Yu, and it was not arranged by them. Of course, Zhu Wenkang said very proudly that since he said goodbye to Tianxianglou, he has been hidden, and he is a stand-in when he goes out to activities. When Chen Qiuniang heard this, she was also sweating, and the other party was really scheming.
Third, Niannu's injuries are really serious, but their main purpose is to detain Jing Liang. As for the purpose of detaining Jing Liang, the housekeeper only said that Jing Liang was the person who should be detained, otherwise he would probably be an enemy.
When Chen Qiuniang heard this, she was very sympathetic to them. Jing Liang's kind of careerist, it's really a big trouble for you to deduct it. (To be continued) R580
