Speaking of this, Gu Jingshu looked lonely.

"That's all in the past," Teng Jingyue patted the back of Gu Jingshu's hand and comforted, "You and Qiao Qiao are in good condition this year, let Master Qiao arrange it as soon as possible, anyway, Old Madam Qiao only has the North Courtyard in her eyes, you should go out for a walk and stay at your mother's house for a few more days." You haven't been back all these years. ”

Before leaving the cabinet, Teng Jingyue and Gu Jingshu were friends, and their maiden families also had a relationship, although the two were not far married, but after getting married, except for Teng Jingyue, who would go back to her parents' house to live every year during the New Year, Gu Jingshu almost never went back, of course, this is mainly because of her health.

Fortunately, the sisters married in the same place, and each other's husbands not only had business dealings, but also friendships, and there was also some relationship, Teng Jingyue accompanied Gu Jingshu from time to time to talk, and helped her bring something back or something, which was also convenient.

She knew that Old Madam Qiao's partiality was that she was a daughter-in-law, and she could only endure this kind of thing, but Old Madam Qiao had become more and more serious in the past two years, and Teng Jingyue couldn't stand it anymore.

"The Qiao family's big industry is supported by Master Qiao alone, Mrs. Qiao is not sympathetic to your long house, even if you help your long house, the eccentricity doesn't need to be so obvious, right? Isn't it chilling that you honor her things, and she will give them to the fourth room? Those below who see the wind and steer the rudder have more thoughts. Because the sisters have a good relationship, Teng Jingyue spoke very directly.

Gu Jingshu smiled disappreciatively: "The things that honor the old lady, when you enter the middle courtyard, it is the old lady's, and how to dispose of it is her business." ”

"You!" Teng Jingyue poked Gu Jingshu's head with hatred, "Before you got married, you weren't like this!" ”

There was a faint irony in the bottom of the eyes.

What if you were born better than her?

What if you marry better than her?

Is she doing well now?

Teng Jingyue's heart was proud.

The Gu family is one of the largest families in western Sichuan, and from childhood to adulthood, Gu Jingshu is superior in front of her. Before leaving the pavilion, the Gu family was more powerful than the Teng family, and for the sake of the family, she followed Gu Jingshu's ass and worked hard to be a follower. After getting married, the Qiao family was still the "former" master of the Ma family, and for the sake of her husband, she continued to play the role of a bosom friend in front of Gu Jingshu.

Look at the present!

Teng Jingyue hooked the corners of her mouth contemptuously.

The person who is loved in all kinds of ways, the person who is unscrupulous and wanton, also has times when he falls to this end and swallows his anger.

can't even get the middle feed, what qualifications do you have to compare with her?

Gu Jingshu felt her friend's faint contempt, and only smiled slightly.

Those things that were sent to the fourth room by the old lady's hand were originally meant to be given to the fourth room, and the old lady wanted to toss, so let her toss.

Sifang is self-righteous and dominant, but because of the indifference of the long room, the matter of face, Sifang wants to slap a swollen face and become fat, that is their business.

Gu Jingshu didn't dare to let Qiao Lixi stay outside for too long, although the sun in Jincheng at the end of autumn was still warm, but in the end, there was an autumn wind, and it had been blowing for a long time, and I was afraid that Qiao Lixi would not be able to stand it.

Under the leadership of the little novice, the group arrived at the Zen monastery.

It is said to be a Zen temple, but in fact, it is a few places for pilgrims to stay.

Jincheng is a small place, not as particular as the capital, and even the Zen temple has to be divided into three, six, nine and so on.

The Zen courtyard of Jincheng is a courtyard in the east of Zhaojue Temple, divided into the left courtyard and the right courtyard, enter the courtyard gate, a bluestone road divides the courtyard, the male left and the female right, five rooms on each side, there is no superfluous. Under normal circumstances, the pilgrims who stay in Zhaojue Temple are all big families in Jincheng, and the population is not large, and almost all of them know each other, so there have been no accidents over the years.

Originally, Gu Jingshu planned to live in a room with Qiao Lixi, but she couldn't stand Qiao Lixi's soft grinding and hard foaming, and finally arranged a room for her alone.

After a short rest, Gu Jingshu and Teng Jingyue went to the front to listen to the old monk talk about Zen, and Qiao Lixi took Forsythia and others around the temple.

I took the opportunity of worship to get a general understanding of the layout of Zhaojue Temple, and now, Qiao Yixi took Forsythia and others to walk towards the stele forest.

Mama Feng has been paying attention to Qiao Lixi's condition, and when she came out of the stele forest, the group returned to Shubao stele to rest.

Looking up at the yellow cypress tree above his head, Qiao Yixi asked as if unintentionally, "Mama, what does this tree bag tablet mean?" ”

Mama Feng said with a smile: "The girl came to Zhaojue Temple for the first time, so I don't know, the most out of Zhaojue Temple, one is the Jizo Bodhisattva enshrined here, and the other is this tree bag tablet." Speaking of which, there is an allusion to this tree bag stele. ”

Qiao Yixi raised her eyebrows, obviously interested.

"I know this," Astragalus interrupted Mama Feng, and said to Qiao Yixi excitedly, "Miss, there was a stele here before, and there is no way to find out what the stele is. ”

Astragalus pointed to the fact that it took seven or eight people behind him to hold the trunk of the tree, and the branches covered more than half of the yellow cypress trees in the square, and said excitedly, "This yellow cypress tree is just outside the Daxiong Treasure Hall, bathed in the fragrance of Buddha, and I listen to the old host talk about Zen every day. ”

Astragalus stretched out his arms, made an encirclement motion, and said exaggeratedly: "In other words, there is a stone tablet in the trunk of this yellow cypress tree." ”

"The yellow cypress tree is not dead?" Qiao Lixi thought it was incredible.

Mama Feng said with a smile: "This kid, it's all nonsense, what kind of yellow cypress tree has become fine." This tree bag tablet, is one of the allusions of Zhaojue Temple, Daokui patriarch passed away before the prophecy of "tree bag tablet, eaves fly, column head to the ground ancestor returns." After all are fulfilled, the tree has a history of nearly 1,000 years, and the tree is wrapped with a stone tablet, and is known as the king of Tianfu trees. ”

Huang Qi rolled her eyes unconvinced, thinking that Mama Feng was not as expressive as her, and she had insulted the prestige of the Shubao Monument.

Lunch is eaten in the temple's hall, which is open to pilgrims.

The identity outside is useless in the temple, unless it is a relative of the emperor, a "big family" like the Qiao family and the Ma family, at most, they arrange a relatively quiet place in a single place, and they are all treated equally in terms of food.

Qiao Yixi is not a picky eater, whether it is vegetarian food or meat dishes, she can eat it with relish.

Although it was only the simplest bean curd rice, Qiao Lixi ate with a bulging mouth and a satisfied face.

Gu Jingshu wiped her mouth amusedly, "Slow down, slow down, if you like it, go back, we'll make it ourselves and eat it." ”

Qiao Yixi nodded sullenly.

Teng Jingyue also had a narrow face, "It's good to have a good appetite, it's a good thing to be able to eat." ”

Gu Jingshu nodded in agreement, "This kid has always had a bad appetite, and it's rare to eat so much without coaxing today." ”

Qiao Yixi smiled.

Isn't she really a ten-year-old child, does she still need to be coaxed to eat?

Besides, the reason why Qiao Lixi himself has no appetite is because he has less exercise, and what he eats is not digested, so he naturally doesn't want to eat.

"Qiaoqiao, after taking a nap, let's go to the back mountain." Gu Jingshu's interest is very good, "The ginkgo biloba in the mountain behind Zhaojue Temple is very famous. ”

Qiao Yixi nodded.

Not only the ginkgo behind Zhaojue Temple is famous, but also the ginkgo biloba in the entire Jincheng is very famous.

In a modern Chinese saying, ginkgo biloba is the "city tree" of Jincheng, which has not been flooded to the point of being seen everywhere, but the important sections of Jincheng are planted with trees that become scenery by themselves in autumn.

Speaking of which, there is a wealthy ginkgo tree in her yard, which is said to have been smashed back by Qiao Xingbang with silver, a century-old ginkgo.

After taking a nap, after a short rest, the group arrived at the back mountain.

It is said that it is the back mountain, in fact, it is no longer the scope of Zhaojue Temple, but from the back door of the temple, there is a path up the mountain, and the pilgrims habitually call this place the back mountain of Shaojue Temple.

After a long time, Zhaojue Temple is also responsible for the safety of this hill, and there will be warrior monks patrolling around.

The hill is not high, and when Qiao Lixi didn't feel tired, she was already standing on the top of the mountain, looking around, the surrounding scenery was in full view.

Shuzhou is foggy, even if it is past noon, the sun is the most intense, and there is a thin layer of fog around, like a dream.

The ginkgo biloba along the road is luxuriant, blocking the mountain stream path, but it does not affect the pace of everyone.

It's rare to be so breathable, Qiao Yixi closed her eyes in enjoyment.

In the afternoon, it was mixed in boredom, and in the evening, Gu Jingshu cautiously took her to the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

Since you are here to repay your vows, you must be sincere.

Originally, I thought that I was just casually offering incense and making a vow, but I didn't expect Gu Jingshu to come out with a ceremony rigorously.

The abbot stood above, clasped his hands together, and muttered a phrase in his mouth.

Qiao Lixi's body was agitated, and she subconsciously tensed.

Whether she believes in gods and Buddhas or not, although she has not reached the point of following the customs of the countryside and being at peace with what she encounters, she also treats it with a pious attitude.

Kneeling on the futon, Qiao Lixi's ears were whispered by Gu Jingshu, and a few words came into her ears intermittently, and there was a faint guilt and inexplicable depression in her heart.

She admits that she hasn't integrated here until now.

What I have taken your body, I want to live well for you, be filial to your parents, and avenge you.

Qiao Lixi thinks that she may not be able to do it completely.

She is her, "Qiao Lixi" is "Qiao Lixi", the two people are different individuals and have different lives.

She is Qiao Lixi, not "Qiao Lixi".

During this time, she has been very entangled, thinking that she is "occupying the magpie's nest", and in return, she should achieve Qiao Lixi's unfulfilled wish and complete what she has not done.

But she is just her, she has her own life, and the moment she occupies the body of "Qiao Lixi", the life of "Qiao Lixi" is over.

Kneeling in front of the Buddha hall, Qiao Lixi suddenly brightened.

Her life may have a lot to do with "Qiao Lixi", such as Qiao's family, such as Sifang, and the death of "Qiao Lixi", she will solve it in her own way.

Not for "her", only for yourself.

The character design of "Qiao Lixi" ends here!

Taking a deep breath, Qiao Yixi had a faint smile on her lips.
