Chapter 14: Providence
Tuoba Shen pulled Tuoba out of the seventh floor, and told him not to tell what happened just now, Tuoba was not stupid, he knew that it was he who was wrong, and of course he didn't want others to know.
When he walked to the sixth floor, Tuoba Shen was still thinking about returning the red scarf. However, if you want to return the red scarf, you must first send Tuoba Sui away so that he can act alone, just right, the excuse is ready-made: "Big brother, weren't you with the third brother when you came, I don't know where he went at this time, but you can't get into trouble, otherwise you and my brother won't be able to take care of it, I'll go down below to find him now, these five layers, the sixth layer will be up to you, right?" I'll go next. What do you think? After speaking, he looked into Tuoba's eyes.
Tuoba was unnatural by his sincere eyes, and hurriedly waved his hand and agreed: "Okay! Hurry up. ”
got rid of Tuoba Shen, Tuoba Shen hurriedly went down the stairs, now the weather is cold, the top of the tower is naturally not so comfortable, and I don't know when the Zheng family lady will come down, time is pressing, I have to hurry up and return this red scarf, as for looking for Tuoba Ke, it's okay to slow down, that kid is honest on weekdays, not as reckless as Tuoba Sui, and the word general trouble has nothing to do with him.
The inside of the tower is dim, especially in this winter, the light is even worse, and it is lit by candles in the tower, so you should be more careful when walking, otherwise it is easy to bump into things in such a narrow place.
Tuoba Shen went around left and right, when he walked to the third floor, he just came out of the fourth staircase, and he saw Tuoba Ke, this guy was so coincidental, it happened to be not far from the second floor of the stairs, Tuoba Shen quickly stopped, wanted to wait for Tuoba Ke to leave, and was afraid that it would be too late, gritted his teeth, thinking that anyway, the candlelight in here would not be far away, and he was careful that others could not see it, so he stared at Tuoba Ke, and walked lightly towards the stairs, and at the same time he was ready to be found by Tuoba Ke, and he was really going to be discovered by Tuoba Ke, I had to take him to meet with Tuoba Sui, and as for the red scarf, I should keep it as a sauvenir.
Tuoba Shen paid attention to Tuoba Ke's actions, and moved to the stairs lightly, Tuoba Ke still didn't find here, Tuoba Shen didn't dare to stay, dodged down, and saw that it was over, and it was about to be over, Tuoba Shen was a little excited, and almost hit the stairs, but fortunately he hugged the staircase railing in time and didn't make too much noise.
Tuoba was happy in his heart, but he didn't notice that this movement had been noticed by Tuoba Ke. He stayed in these three layers for a long time, there are many scriptures translated by high monks on this floor, all of which are the handwriting of famous people in the world, some are made by Yongning Temple, some are the pen of predecessors, and there is even a section of the "Amitabha Sutra" written by Sima Yu, the emperor of the Southern Jin Dynasty. Therefore, Tuoba Ke lingered here for a long time, and was just about to go to the fourth floor, when he suddenly noticed a sound at the stairs, but it was very slight, he walked over to see what was going on, and found that it was a figure, because it was far away from the light, and he couldn't see it very really, but he felt a little familiar.
How does it look like a second brother, what is he doing, how does it seem to have some secrets. Tuoba Ke looked at Tuoba Shen's back and thought, he wanted to open his mouth to stop Tuoba Shen, but his curiosity moved, and he also lightly followed up, wanting to see what the second brother was going to do.
Tuoba Shen went down the stairs, and went straight to the statue of Shakya Buddha enshrined by Zheng Niangzi without looking back, now the time is tight, someone may pass by at any time, he has not read the words on this scarf, it is not worth risking so much, and he has not even recovered the ticket price. Walked to the Buddha statue, took out the scarf from his arms, and quickly wrapped it and tied it, as for whether it looks good or not, he can't care if it is consistent with the original. He was just returning the scarf to reassure himself.
Tuoba Ke saw the second brother take out a scarf from his arms, a little strange what he was doing, afraid that the second brother would find out about following him, so he hurriedly returned to the third floor, thinking that when the second brother left, he would go to see what the scarf was, how it was tied to the Buddha statue enshrined by the believer, maybe there was some secret on it, the more he thought about it, the more excited he became, as if he had discovered Tuoba Shen's secret.
Tuoba Shen tied up the scarf, tidied up the clothes, braided the cage back, put it in the hat skirt, Shi Shiran went up the stairs, thinking about quickly taking Tuoba Ke to meet Tuoba Sui, and then leave quickly, at this time he and Tuoba Ke didn't want to stay here, as for whether Tuoba Ke hadn't played enough, he couldn't care about it, two to one, just take him away.
went up to the third floor, and saw that Tuoba Ke was still in the same place, so he walked over and said, "Third brother, what about the eldest brother asking me to look for you?" He's still looking for you up there, so let's go together, shall we? It's not too early now, there are many interesting places in this Yongning Temple, and you can't go if you don't go to other places. ”
Tuoba Ke was still waiting for the second brother to go to discover his secret, but he didn't expect the second brother to take him to find the eldest brother together, he had the heart to refuse, and he was afraid that the second brother would be suspicious, so he had an idea, and said: "Second brother, I still haven't seen it, you go up to find the eldest brother first, I'll wait for you here, you and the eldest brother will come down and go together, right?" This tower is too high, and it is very tiring to go up and down. ”
Tuoba listened carefully, and felt that it was okay, and it was okay to come once, and it was okay for him to stay for a while, but he didn't have a little time, and he didn't even have half a cup of tea, and said, "Okay! You wait here, I'll go look for the eldest brother, don't run around. After speaking, he turned around and went upstairs, and suddenly felt a little heartbeat in his heart, as if something was wrong, and turned around and instructed: "Third brother, stay here, don't go far, I won't be able to find you later." ”
Tuoba Ke originally wanted to go to the second floor of the pagoda to see, but when he heard this, he was afraid that the second brother would find something, so he quickly agreed, but because the second brother didn't want him to walk around, he became more interested in the scarf.
After watching the second brother go up to the fourth floor, Tuoba Ke walked to the stairs leading to the fourth floor and looked at it at night, making sure that the second brother would not turn back, so he quickly turned around and walked towards the second floor.
Tuoba Shen walked to the fourth floor and observed, Tuoba Shen was not here, so he caught up with the fifth floor, and there was no Tuoba Shen in the fifth floor, thinking that maybe this little fat man didn't want to meet the eldest grandson brother and sister again, and was waiting for him on the sixth floor at all. turned around and went up to the sixth floor, because the light was dim, I didn't even notice that Mrs. Zheng and her little maid, who had just separated, were on the fifth floor. The reason why Zheng Niangzi is here is because there is a picture of Huiyuan Lushan Residence painted by Dai Kui and Dai Andao of the Southern Dynasty that she deposited, and there is also the handwriting of Huiyuan, a famous monk in the north and south. Every time she comes, she comes to see for a while. Because she knew that Changsun Qin was not interested in these paintings, she resigned and took her maid Ah Ling to the fifth floor.
"Little lady, the little maid seems to have seen that Lang Jun, he went up to the sixth floor"
"What Lang Jun, Ah Ling, you follow me all day long, can you know any Lang Jun? How do I not know? Zheng Niangzi replied with a casual smile while looking at the picture scroll. The sound is crisp and gentle.
The little maid Ah Ling was ashamed, knowing that the little lady was making fun of her, and it was not good to say anything about vaguely seeing Tuoba Shen.
Tuoba Shen went up to the sixth floor, didn't see Tuoba Sui, felt strange, said okay here, why is he not here, does he dare to go up to find a scolding, afraid that if it really makes trouble again, the eldest grandson brother and sister will be ruthlessly sent down by the family afterwards, and they don't know how it will be rectified, and their brothers can't please it, this is black and white is not something that you can turn upside down at will, and the reputation of the courtiers who are bullied by the respect of the prince is not good.
On the top seven floors of the tower, there are not many furnishings here, that is, there are many sections separated by tower pillars, because there are believers, and it is a public place, of course, it is not good to shout loudly, Tuoba Shen turned around, did not find Tuoba Sui, but the eldest grandson brother and sister are still there, but I didn't see the Zheng Niangzi, Tuoba Shen doesn't want to see her now. The top seven floors of the tower did not find Tuoba, Tuoba thought carefully to go down to the sixth floor, just a general look, did not look carefully, maybe he deliberately avoided the brother and sister, after all, he has not been so embarrassed.
When he reached the sixth floor, he walked more than a dozen steps inside, and saw Tuoba Sui through a Buddha cover and a curtain, Tuoba Sui was walking around there, it seems that what just happened had a great impact on him, otherwise with his temperament, where can he stay here and wait for himself, he should have run away a long time ago, why not stay here and wait.
"Big brother, the younger brother has found the third brother on the third floor of the pagoda."
"Let's go. I don't know what time it is. I'm hungry. Tuoba complained, he was impatient to wait, and if he didn't come again, he would have to go down on his own.
Tuoba Shen because of etiquette, let Tuoba in front, himself followed him, the little fat man held the stairs slowly down the ladder, as if afraid, Tuoba Shen looked at it and felt strange, although this staircase is narrower for adults, it is not narrow for children, just grab the escalator and go down, why is it so slow, I really want to push him.
finally paced to the third floor, Tuoba Shen was about to sweat, this little fat man was too abrasive. I looked up and looked around, but I didn't see Tuobake. Tuoba Shen suddenly felt that this kid was really annoying today, and honest people sometimes don't keep their promises, even a little fat man is not as good.
My heart moved, and I remembered a question that I had just skipped in my mind when Tuoba Ke refused to go up to Tuoba Sui together: I finally came to the Yongning Temple Tower once, how could Tuoba Ke not go up just because the tower was high. Doesn't he want to enjoy it carefully, too? The more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, and I ignored this point because I was in a hurry to find Tuoba. With a pat on the head, he rushed down the stairs and ran towards the statue of Shakya Buddha.
I don't know how much this kid Tuoba Ke has watched, if he sees it alone, it doesn't matter, if he is caught, how can he say it clearly.
Just rushed to not far from the Buddha statue, a young man in a fresh suit hurriedly walked over with his head down, saw Tuoba Shen stunned for a moment, and immediately said with great joy: "Second brother, come and talk about it!" I didn't take this scarf, I was unjust!! ”
Looking at Zheng Niangzi and Ah Ling, the maid holding a red scarf, who came out behind Tuoba Ke, Tuoba Shen was dumbfounded.
It's over, I believe in honest people too much, and now I'm being cheated by honest people.
Providence!!
