Chapter 21 Punished for copying scriptures
After staying in the garden of Gongsun Mansion for a while, a servant came to report that Wei Qing asked Huo to go over. At this time, Wei Qing and Gongsun Ao had finished talking, and Wei Qing was preparing to take the carriage back home. Seeing Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi gave a salute first.
Wei Qing said: "Go to the sick, why are you so indiscriminate, if you beat that Li Guangli to death, Mrs. Li will definitely not give up!" ”
Huo Quzhi said nonchalantly: "Uncle, it's because his skills are not as good as others, and he makes trouble in the restaurant after drinking some wine, how can you blame me?" ”
Wei Qing lightly looked at me, who was standing behind Huo Quai, with low eyebrows, and sighed and said, "Your Majesty and I are too fond of you!" Maybe it's been a long time since you've seen your mother, she's not in good health lately, so you can take the time to visit your mother. Huo Quzhi nodded in agreement.
Wei Qing looked at me and said, "Mulan, you should also go with the young master of your family!" ”
I replied respectfully, "No! ”
After returning to Huo's Mansion, I brought Huo Qubing soup to him, "Young master, why does Madame want to see me?" ”
I have a faint sense of foreboding in my heart, how can I say that Huo Quai's whipping of Li Guangli was caused by me, could it be that this gossip news spreads faster than the speed of light, so soon Wei Shao'er is going to settle accounts with me?
Huo Quzhi took a sip of sobering soup and said: "Mother has always liked you, but I haven't seen you for a long time, so I want to see you, you follow me, it's okay." ”
Although he comforted me so much, I still felt faintly uneasy, but since Wei Qing asked me to follow, I couldn't shirk it, so I had to agree to it.
On the second day, he went to Chen's Mansion to see Wei Shao'er with Huo Quai.
Walking into Wei Shao'er's house after Huo Quai's illness, the air was filled with the smell of red sandalwood. The furnishings in the house are elegant and chic, although they are not as good as Huo Mansion, it can be seen that Chen Mansion treats Wei Shao'er well and does not slack off in the slightest.
Wei Shao'er put a felt on his body at this time, his face looked very haggard, and when he saw Huo Quai, he said weakly: "Go sick, you are here!" ”
Huo Quzhi saw Wei Shao'er for the first time since he came back from the expedition, but he didn't expect her to look so depressed and sick, he was startled, and walked forward quickly and said, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”
Wei Shao'er squeezed out a smile on his face, but he smiled bitterly, "It's nothing, I've suffered from the wind and cold, and I've been getting heavier and heavier for a few days, it's not in the way, don't worry." ”
Huo Quzhi said: "Why don't you have anyone around you to serve?" ”
Wei Shao'er looked at me who was standing aside and bowed his head silently, intentionally or unintentionally, and said: "There is no one to be cared for by me, these people are careless, just make me angry when they look at them!" It's better to be this Mulan next to you, who is sensible and careful, so that people like it when they look at it. ”
I said in my heart, the meat show is coming!
After Wei Shao'er said these words, as if he had wasted a lot of strength, he covered his mouth with a silk scarf and coughed violently, his body trembled, and he seemed to be in a very poor mental state.
Huo Quzhi hurriedly went up to support Wei Shao'er, patted her gently on the back, and said: "It's to be sick and unfilial, and to take care of the war, even when my mother is sick, I don't know what to do." Let me serve my mother and let you recover soon. ”
Wei Shao'er finally stopped coughing, waved his hand again and again, and said, "You are busy with military affairs, where can you have time to serve me?" Besides, it's quite inconvenient for you to be here. ”
Huo Quzhi said: "Then you can go back to the house with me, and I will be able to serve you by your side!" ”
Wei Shao'er smiled faintly, "Silly boy, what are you talking about." If you really have a heart, it is better to let Mulan be here for a few days, and when I am well, I will send her back to you. ”
Huo Qu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look back at me, I stood next to me with low eyebrows and didn't answer. Wei Shao'er saw that Huo Qu'er was very embarrassed, and coughed again, as if he was about to cough and die.
Huo Quzhi hurriedly said: "Mother, don't worry, just let Lan'er stay with you until you are well." He looked back at me with a hint of pleading in his eyes.
Although I am reluctant to leave Huo Quai, but in this scene in front of me, Wei Shao'er is obviously going to forcibly leave me, she has done her part, how can I shirk it? So I nodded, "I'd like to stay and serve Madame." ”
Huo Quzhi was relieved to see that I agreed.
After talking for a while, Wei Shao'er said that he was tired and asked Huo to go back. I sent Huo to the house when he was sick, and he said softly: "Thank you for your hard work, my mother will ask you!" ”
I said, "Don't worry, young master, I will serve Madame well." ”
Huo Quzhi looked at me, endured it for a long time, and finally said: "You are indispensable to me, but my mother is so sick, and there is no one around me to take care of her, and she refuses to go back with me." I don't have to worry if you come to take care of her, you just stay for a few days, and when your mother is well, I will come to pick you up. ”
I bowed my head and said, "I understand." ”
After sending Huo Qu's illness away, I returned to Wei Shao'er's house and waited for her dispatch.
Through the red sandalwood in the air, Wei Shao'er's expression looked a little serious. The last time I saw her, I was still very kind. But now he didn't see what it meant, just sat there quietly, looking me up and down.
I brought her the teacup, but she didn't take it, just looked at me and didn't speak.
I looked normal, holding the teacup in my hand for half an hour, and she looked at me without even the slightest change in posture, and maintained a noble and graceful demeanor from beginning to end.
Wei Shao'er stared at me with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said lightly: "Mulan, you should pay more attention to your words and deeds when you are sick." But just because he spoils you, you can't be arrogant and lose your proportion. ”
I whispered, "Mulan doesn't dare." The expression on my face remained unchanged, and I replied respectfully, without the slightest hint of dissatisfaction. As expected, the whipping of Li Guangli was reached by Wei Shao'er, and I don't know what version Lu Dao has evolved.
There were not a few people who saw Huo Quai's hands in the restaurant that day, and I am afraid that it must have evolved into a jealousy for me. When Wei Shao'er heard about it, she was naturally not happy, so she asked me to teach me a lesson.
Wei Shao'er showed a cold look on his face, "It's good to understand, you are a sensible child, you should know what to do and what not to do." In the future, the wife who will be sick must be an infinite person, although you have been sick since childhood, but don't forget your identity."
At this point, I already fully understood what she meant. Huo Quzhi's reputation in the DPRK is now increasing day by day, and he faintly has the meaning of being side by side with Wei Qing. In the future, the person Huo Qubing marries must not be an ordinary eunuch woman, it is best to kiss Empress Wei, so that the Wei family's power in the court will be more solid.
It's a pity that I know in my heart that she miscalculated, and Huo Quzhi did not marry a wife in his life. Neither the princess nor anyone else could be his wife. But I didn't say it, I just thought it silently in my heart.
Of course I understand Wei Shao'er's feelings, but after all, she is Huo Quai's mother, I don't need to confront her face-to-face, it's irrational and stupid, not to mention how can I tell her that I already know about Huo Quai's future? She's going to think I'm talking nonsense, and maybe she'll beat me up and drive me out of the house.
Wei Shao'er said lightly: "Since you are here, by the way, help me copy the Buddhist scriptures." ”
I bowed my head and said "no".
Wei Shao'er's Buddhist hall was at the back of her room, Wei Shao'er stood up, and I hurriedly put down the tea cup and stepped forward to hold her hand. She gave me a faint look and walked into the temple with my hand.
After entering the Buddhist hall, Wei Shao'er began to recite the scriptures directly. The girl who was waiting in the Buddhist hall next to me signaled to me, and I walked to the side of the red Fushou case, on which there were already pen and ink and thick bamboo slips of three scriptures.
"These three books are what you will copy today." The girl who was waiting in the Buddhist hall conveyed the meaning of Wei Shao'er.
Through the heavy curtains, I glanced at Wei Shao'er, who was reciting the scriptures with his eyes closed, and replied, "No! ”
For four hours, I copied the scriptures, word by word. The font on the sutra is very small, and the strokes of this small seal are very complicated. Although I came here and gradually learned to know Xiao Seal, I still have a headache when I see this dense Buddhist scripture.
The font on the sutra is very small, and you will get dizzy after a long time. If you are an ordinary person, you will already have backache and can't hold on. But I kept kneeling in front of the desk and copying the scriptures, neither saying that I was tired nor asking for rest. Just silently, earnestly hanging his hands and copying it.
I know that Daowei is looking at me behind the curtain at the moment, but in fact, she has no objection to me. On the contrary, when she first saw me, she also gave me the agate bracelet she was wearing. She hopes that I can serve Huo Quzhi well and be heartfelt to her, so that the relationship between mother and son can be more stable.
It's just that this time Huo Quai's whipping of Li Guangli because of me made her think that I couldn't recognize my identity, and I was afraid that in the future, I would have those thoughts of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix.
Another two hours have passed, and in the middle of the time has missed an hour for lunch and dinner, Wei Shao'er has already used snacks. But I was hungry, and yet I didn't shake my hands.
In fact, when I was in the future era, I often wrote manuscripts on the computer, often writing for seven or eight hours at a time, and often missed meals. Hunger has long been commonplace, and I don't care about this small punishment at all.
On the contrary, the longer the time, the faster I copied, and the font was also upright and powerful, and over time, even Wei Shao'er put down the Buddhist beads in his hand and looked at me thoughtfully.
The girl on the side reminded: "Madam, it's time for you to rest."
Wei Shao'er stood up, walked out of the hall slowly, and when he walked to the door, he glanced back. I felt her gaze, but I didn't even lift my head. Carefully copied the Buddhist scriptures in his hand, as if he did not notice her departure in the slightest.
When I finally stopped the brush in my hand, it was almost dawn outside.
I raised my head and asked, "After copying the Buddhist scriptures, I wonder what else Madame has to say?" ”
The girl who had been waiting in the Buddha hall immediately went out to report, and after a while, she came in and said to me, "Madame said that you can go back if you offer the copied Buddhist scriptures to the Buddha." ”
When I heard this, there was not a trace of complaint on my face, and I seriously offered the Buddhist scriptures to the Taoist Buddha, and kowtowed again, and then got up to leave.
When the girl sent me out of the house, she said softly, "Miss Mulan, you are really calm. ”
I smiled faintly, how could I not know in my heart that Wei Shao'er was obviously punishing me, but actually reminding me that Mu Xiu would be destroyed by the wind.
If I am obedient, Wei Shao'er will naturally promise me a good future. But if I don't want to climb the dragon and the phoenix, then the consequence must be that she will take me away from Huo Quai.
This time it's just a small punishment and a big commandment, I thought she would stay with me for a few more days, but now I don't have to worry about it, Wei Shao'er is not an unreasonable person.
Walking out of Chen's mansion, I breathed in the fresh air of the morning, and the fatigue of copying Buddhist scriptures overnight was swept away. At this time, Huo Quzhi has already gotten up, right? I didn't serve him today, and I don't know if he ate breakfast?
Thinking of the person in my heart, I smiled, walked on the empty Chang'an Avenue in the early morning, and walked quickly on the road back to Huofu.
Maybe this dream is the real me, right? Everything I had experienced before was a dream I had before.
Is Mulan becoming Guo Muhong in his dream, or Guo Muhong becoming Mulan in his dream? Who am I, Guo Muhong living in 2014, or Mu Lan living in the Western Han Dynasty?
Looking back, because of sighing and floating things, time flies in the dream.
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ hussar general laughed and passed on the twenty-first word to 818 Li Guang, for Mao Li Guang was beaten by the Huns every time he went out to fight?
Because he is the Taishou of the Six Counties, the so-called "Taishou" is too good at guarding. Every time the Huns came to attack, they all scolded: "There is a kind of you who come out and hide in the city and put small arrows to count wool!" ”
So later, as long as the Huns heard that Li Guang had come out, they quickly gathered together to beat Li Guang no matter where they were. Li Guang himself is also depressed, if you want to say that Gongsun Ao is a cup, then he is a cutlery!
