"There was a famine in the countryside, and my father starved to death in order to keep me alive." The little girl's sad eyes were red.

"And your mother? Do you have any other relatives? Sister Cai hurriedly asked.

"My mother died of illness when I was very young, and I have no relatives, so I can only go to Caijia Village to find the relatives my father said."

"Your dad is so stupid, damn it! Why didn't your father bring you with him, and he had to wait until he starved to death before letting a child climb mountains and wade through waters. Sister Cai cursed loudly, but she squatted on the ground crying and couldn't get up.

"Don't you say that about my father, he said, he can't see that relative! They will never see each other until they die. The little girl cried out angrily, and although she didn't know why she couldn't see it, she didn't dare to ask.

"Mother, she's ......"

Cai Cong came over to help Sister Cai up and asked hesitantly.

"She is your sister, and the half of the copper coin is your father's token, and half of it is here for your mother." Sister Cai said as she took out half a copper coin from her personal purse, and put the two together, which is a complete one.

When she made an appointment to die of old age, she never thought that this man would not regret his oath until he died.

Cai Cong was speechless, he didn't know what to say, this was a bitter mandarin duck! One gave up a lifetime of happiness for the inheritance of incense, and the other did not see each other until he died.

"Is he really my brother? My dad didn't say I had an older brother. Chu Yao glanced at Cai Cong timidly and whispered.

"He is your brother, and I will be your mother in the future. I'm the one your father asked you to find, and you see that our copper coins are matched. ”

"Do I have a place to live in the future?"

"Yes, my mother will build a big house for you, and I will give you whatever you want. Son, don't you say? Sister Cai said pityingly, eager to give her heart. At the end, she looked up at Cai Cong expectantly, no matter what, she cared more about Cai Cong.

"That's nature, she's my sister, and I'll protect her and give her the best in the future. When I return to Chang'an, I will ask the emperor to put my sister in the book, and she will be the eldest lady of our Cai family in the future. ”

Cai Cong said affirmatively, suddenly having a sister, I feel that I have an extra guardian in this world, which is a wonderful feeling.

Those tourists saw this scene and sighed at the impermanence of the world, such a tattered girl in tatters, one step to the sky, became the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion, and her fate changed directly.

"Great joy, I can see this scene for the Marquis of Cai's mansion, congratulations to you Cai's family for all generations, endlessly." After Zhang Jiaming finished speaking, he carried a spear, hummed an ancient ballad and left directly, without even taking a hundred taels of fare.

"You dead girls, do you still have eyesight? Don't you see that the young lady is dirty? Why don't you go and boil water to bathe and change clothes for the eldest lady, why did Qiuyue send you stupid guys. ”

Sister Cai said angrily, if it weren't for the family's business that needed manpower, she would definitely bring Qiuyue out.

Only then did those maids react, boiling water, preparing spices, and some people ran to prepare food, a few guards hurried to the nearest county town to buy ready-to-wear clothes, Sister Cai turned everyone around, and only Cai Cong and Chu Yao had nothing to do.

"Mother, are we going to Dolin Temple anymore? I think I should go home and report to my uncle first, right? Cai Cong said with a smile, Chu Yao actually doesn't have a trace of the Cai family's blood, and he may not be willing to give Chu Yao the position of the eldest lady of the Cai family.

"No, go to thank the gods and Buddhas first, this is all God's arrangement, you must go to Duolin Temple to make a vow first." Sister Cai said strongly, she firmly believed that this was a gift from the gods and Buddhas, and completely forgot that if they didn't meet here, Chu Yao would also be sent to Caijia Village.

"Okay, then let's go to Dolin Temple first." Cai Cong nodded and said, this sister has the same bloodline as him, no matter what, he will protect her.

Chu Yao changed into new clothes after taking a bath, and she was really cute with her pigtails. It's just that the face is yellow and thin, and there is no extravagance at all.

"It smells so good! It smells so good! ”

Chu Yao kept sniffing her body and screamed in surprise. It was the first time she had grown so big and wore such silky clothes with spices.

"I like it, I'll use it every day in the future, and I'll make you smell good. Walk! Mother will take you to dinner. ”

Sister Cai took Chu Yao and said with a smile, the kitchen had prepared a meal and set up a full table. The cook said that he didn't know what flavor the eldest lady liked, so he made it and let the eldest lady taste it, so that it would be convenient for the eldest lady to cook for the eldest lady in the future.

Sister Cai was overjoyed, it was rare for someone to be so good, and immediately rewarded him with five taels of silver, doubling his monthly money.

This time, the cook was more active, bending down to tell Chu Yao about the characteristics of each dish. Chu Yao grabbed Sister Cai'er's clothes, drooled and cringed and asked, "Can these really be eaten for me?" ”

"Of course it's for you to eat, just say what you want to eat, and my mother will let them bring it." Sister Cai hugged her to the chair and waved her hand and said heroically.

"Well, then I want to eat meat." Chu Yao swallowed her saliva, pointed to a plate of meat, and said tentatively, the cook immediately took a knife to cut the meat into small pieces and served it to her diligently.

Chu Yao took a bite, her eyes lit up, she looked up at the others, and found that everyone was looking at her with encouraging eyes, she had the courage to eat all the meat on the plate, and she didn't wipe her oily mouth, pointing to a fish, and then pointing to a plate of beef, so tangled.

Sister Cai'er laughed at a piece of fun, and asked people to bring the fish and beef over immediately.

The meal was eaten tightly and slowly, and after eating for half an hour, Chu Yao blushed and touched her stomach and kept saying that she was full, and Sister Cai was satisfied with letting the cook remove the meal.

It's terrible to take a little girl, the first thing she does when she goes is to take Chu Yao to buy and buy, she is determined to dress this child beautifully.

Chu Yao admires his brother the most, no matter where he goes, there will be officials to greet him, and when he stays, there will be officials who will come to visit him, whether he sees him or not, it depends on his brother's mood, those are all big officials in the mouth of the storyteller! Listening to her brother's words like this, she thinks that her brother is probably the most powerful person in the world.

The temple is quite dilapidated, covering an area of less than three acres, and in the mountains, the mountain roads are covered with weeds.

When Cai Cong and the others arrived, the three great monks and the seven little novices were already waiting at the gate of the temple.

The great monk was skinny, his face was covered with a layer of skin, and his eye sockets were deeply sunken, looking terrifying. However, his face was calm, and the breath of the whole person was also extremely neutral and peaceful, making people unconsciously forget his face.

When he saw the cart full of grain and sesame oil cloth, he didn't even raise his eyelids, and he didn't pay attention to mundane things at all.

Sister Cai stepped forward and clasped her hands and asked, "I don't know what the Master Buddha name is?" Back then, the Master of Suffering saved our mother and son in danger, and today we have come to repay the favor, I don't know where the Master of Suffering is? ”

"The poor monk is in distress, and the suffering senior brother has completed his merits three years ago and went to the West Heaven to serve the Buddha." Sleepy paused and said calmly.

"So you're the Master of Distress, rude. Alas, I didn't expect that we were still late, this time in addition to visiting the master of suffering, the main reason is to come to repay the vows and rebuild the golden body for the Buddha. ”

"Amitabha, then thank you to the female benefactor, please inside." Distress said calmly, there was only one Buddha statue in the main hall, and nothing else.

Sister Cai immediately put on the tribute, lit three sticks of incense, and knelt on the ground to pray sincerely. Chu Yao hurriedly knelt down as well, muttering that she didn't know what she was talking about.

It was impossible for Cai Cong to kneel on these clay sculptures, and after looking at them twice, he felt bored and turned out of the main hall.

When he walked to a courtyard, a monk came out of the room and said with a smile: "Amitabha, the poor monk has come to see the Hou Ye." ”

"Where did the great monk come from? Didn't you say that the temple was full of ascetics? How can there still be a big monk like you with a fat brain? Cai Cong glanced at him and said with a sneer.
