Regarding his sister's sudden request, Xu Qijin was very surprised: "What are you doing in the Buddhist hall?" ”

Xu Qirong was thinking that she basically didn't know anything about the royal affairs, and if she really wanted to find out something, she might have to start with the Buddha Hall. In addition, although the Xu family in the previous life came up with evidence that Master Xu Si was not the Xu family, they concealed the true life experience of Master Xu Si to death. If Xu Qirong wants to know the truth, he can only start from the Buddha hall.

These days, she has sent people to the Buddha Hall from time to time to deliver things, but the Buddha Hall has not responded at all.

At the beginning, Xu Qirong was not in a hurry, she had followed the Buddha Hall for several years and understood her temperament. However, now that Zhou Wei has appeared, Xu Qirong can't wait any longer.

Xu Qijin persuaded: "I heard that you have asked people to send things to the Buddha Hall these days, and everyone is looking at it, and Aunt Qiao and Grandma Qiao have told me several times openly and secretly." Now I want to move to the Buddha hall again, I'm afraid it's not appropriate. Although we treat that Qiao as an aunt and grandmother, we can't stand the house from up and down to treat her as a serious master! ”

"Not to mention whether my father will agree, with the character of the Buddha Hall, I'm afraid I don't want you to disturb her." Xu Qijin shook his head.

Xu Qirong pursed his lips and only said, "Anyway, you tell your father." I always have my own reasons, but I can't say it for the time being! ”

A six-year-old girl made such a request and said that she had her own reason, Xu Qijin couldn't cry or laugh. But after all, it was my sister who was pampered and protected, and I still agreed.

As soon as Master Xu Si returned home that afternoon, Xu Qijin told Master Xu Si about it.

Master Xu Si's brows furrowed tightly, and he asked Xu Qijin tentatively: "Did Zhuo Zhuo tell you why she wanted to go to the Buddhist hall to live for a few days?" It was a cold place, but it wasn't a place for her little girl to play. ”

Xu Qijin was also worried, but he still helped his sister speak: "My sister is not a nonsense person, she always has her own reasons." Daddy, after my mother left, my sister basically didn't ask for anything, otherwise my father would ask my grandmother, my sister always sends things over these days, maybe she would like to meet her sister! ”

"Besides," Xu Qijin said again, "Whether it is Aunt Qiao's grandmother or uncle and grandmother, there are always grandchildren by her side, and grandmother is in the Buddhist hall with a personal grandmother, which is inevitably too cold." ”

Master Xu Si was a little embarrassed, he didn't want to mention the Buddha Hall. When he was just a child, Princess Pingtai suddenly moved to the Buddhist hall and no longer cared about the two brothers. I don't want to see them, let alone the New Year's Festival, even when the two brothers got married, Princess Pingtai never stepped out of the Buddhist hall.

How is it possible to say that you don't complain?

But after all, it was his biological mother, and when Xu Qijin said this at this time, Master Xu Si was also a little unbearable, and thought of his little daughter's well-behaved appearance, so he had to say: "I'll ask, most of her still doesn't want to be disturbed." ”

Xu Qijin breathed a sigh of relief, this can be regarded as completing the task given to her by Xu Qirong, and said with a smile: "Whether the other side agrees or not, my sister must be very happy to know that her father went to ask." ”

Hearing Xu Qijin say this, Master Xu Si couldn't help but smile on his face, and immediately said, "You go back first, I'll change my clothes and go to the Buddha Hall." ”

I have to say that as a father, Master Xu Si doesn't know much about how to raise his two daughters, but he still responds to the requirements of his two daughters most of the time.

As soon as Xu Qijin left, Master Xu Si changed his clothes, did not let anyone follow, and went to the Buddhist hall alone.

The Buddha hall is very deserted, because Princess Pingtai is quiet, so there are generally no people to come here. When Master Xu Si arrived, Mama Gui beside Princess Pingtai was sweeping the leaves.

"Mama Gui." Master Xu Si shouted with some unease.

Mama Gui paused, turned her head and saw Master Xu Si, stunned for a moment, and then saluted and smiled: "It turns out that the second master is here, and the slave maid is still thinking, which maid who delivers food has such a steady footstep!" ”

Somehow, Mama Gui has always called Xu Tingyuan according to the ranking of Xu Jinyan's lineage, not calling him the fourth master like everyone else.

Where did Xu Tingyuan dare to accept Mama Gui's courtesy, he quickly turned sideways to avoid it, and then saluted Mama Gui in a proper manner: "Mama is healthy." ”

Mama Gui just stood like that, nodded, and said, "Your Highness is fine, the second master doesn't have to worry about it." ”

Mama Gui came out of the palace with Princess Pingtai, because the current saint is not bad to this cousin and has not cut off Pingtai's title, so Mama Gui still calls Princess Pingtai the same as in the palace before.

Master Xu Si paused, hid the wry smile on his face, and reluctantly said, "Can't Mama Gui let Tingyuan go in and sit down today?" ”

Mama Gui glanced at Master Xu Si, but did not answer, only sighed slightly.

Master Xu Si immediately understood what Mama Gui meant, and felt a little sad in his heart, and couldn't help but raise his voice: "When can I go in and sit in that pavilion?" Subconsciously, he still hoped that his irresponsible mother would be touched when she heard this.

Mama Gui took two steps forward, looked at Fourth Master Xu with pity, raised a pair of loose-skinned hands, and finally put it down: "Your Highness is also bitter, the second master should be considerate of His Highness." ”

Fourth Master Xu took a step back, and a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth: "Then who will be considerate of Tingyuan?" Then he remembered that he was not here to quarrel, his tone softened, and he said, "Tingyuan has two daughters, the younger one is called Qirong, and the younger one is Zhuozhuo." Shen went last year, and Zhuo Zhuo was only six years old. ”

When Mama Gui heard this, she smiled with a smile on her face: "The slave knows that in the past few months, Fenghua Courtyard has always sent things over. ”

Master Xu Si nodded and said his meaning: "Zhuo Zhuo wants to come to the Buddha Hall to live for a while. ”

Mama Gui was stunned.

Master Xu Si was a little tired: "You don't have to persuade those words that fooled Tingyuan when you were a child, you are tired, go in and ask her, agree or disagree." Speaking of this, Master Xu Si chuckled, "No one teaches Tingyuan how to be a father, Tingyuan only knows that it is Tingyuan's blood and bones, and Tingyuan has the responsibility to meet any of her requirements." ”

Mama Gui hesitated for a moment, she knew Princess Pingtai and knew that whether she asked about this matter or not, the answer would not change. But Xu Tingyuan's words behind her were heart-wrenching, where could she bear it!

Fourth Master Xu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Mama Gui turn around and walk inside. After waiting for less than half an hour, Mama Gui came out.

Mama Gui stood on the steps, resumed her usual strictness, and shook her head at Master Xu Si. Master Xu Si frowned, said no more, turned around and left. Mama Gui hurriedly followed up to send her off.

When Master Xu Si completely left his sight, Mama Gui finally breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "It's difficult, it's all difficult." ”

As soon as he finished sighing, he heard a click behind him, and turned around quickly, only to see a crescent white corner disappearing at the entrance. Mama Gui thought about it, maybe the one inside couldn't help but come to see the second master quietly, so she didn't care. It used to be the same.

I looked at the fallen leaves on the ground that I hadn't finished sweeping, picked up a broom, and continued to sweep up.

Xu Qirong stood behind the door for a while, and was relieved to see that Mama Gui was not suspicious, and continued to sweep the fallen leaves as if nothing happened.

In the past few years with Princess Pingtai, Princess Pingtai was indifferent, except for carefully teaching her, she did not reveal any other feelings. Therefore, compared with Princess Pingtai, Xu Qirong is more afraid of this extremely stern Mama Gui.

She knew that her father had no choice but to move to the Buddhist hall, so she had to play tricks. The reason why my sister persuaded my father to come was just to lure Mama Gui away.

Xu Qirong patted the soft pillow in his arms, sighed secretly, tried to make a casual expression, and walked into the room where the Bodhisattva was contemplating freedom inside.

The Bodhisattva is compassionate, and in the sandalwood incense, a pair of eyes are full of compassion. Xu Qirong raised his head and glanced at the Bodhisattva statue, sighed in his heart, and looked at the person who was kneeling on the futon in front of her with his back to her and counting the prayer beads, Xu Qirong pulled out an innocent smile and jumped forward, his face full of innocence and reverence: "Grandmother, the burning is coming." ”

Princess Pingtai wears a crescent-white gown, the style is somewhat like the monk's robe of the Buddhists, but it is a little different, and the brocade fabric has some dark embroidery patterns. Although he is more than fifty years old, he can be well maintained, not a single green silk is white, and there are only fine wrinkles at the corners of his eyes on his face. The bun is only inserted diagonally with a jasper hairpin, and there are no other gorgeous jewelry.

Xu Qirong suddenly made a sound, which frightened Princess Pingtai a lot!

Princess Pingtai stood up, put the rosary in her hand on the offering table, and looked at Xu Qirong so condescendingly, except for the trace of scintification in her eyes, she couldn't see any other feelings.

After a long while, Princess Pingtai spoke: "You are Sister Rong of Fenghua Courtyard?" ”

Xu Qirong nodded, smiling honestly: "Grandmother, my nickname is Zhuozhuo." "In her previous life, Princess Pingtai called her scorching.

Princess Pingtai's eyes fell on the soft pillow in Xu Qirong's arms, and her expression cracked for a moment: "What your father taught you?" ”

It means that on the surface, ask for my opinion, drag Mama Gui, and then you take the opportunity to sneak in, is your father's idea of cultivating the plank road and secretly Chen Cang?

Xu Qirong didn't want to think about it, so she nodded fiercely and splashed the sewage on her father's head.

The corners of Princess Pingtai's mouth twitched, how could she feel that her son had learned badly? In the past, when Yuan'er was still young, she also wondered if he would come to see her one day. However, Yuan'er is like his father, and every time he goes to Chungui for advice. Unexpectedly, after more than 20 years, the gentleman suddenly became a villain, which is really unguardable!
