Chapter Twenty-Six: To Each His Heart
It took two whole months for the affairs of the Zhang family to gradually calm down. Prime Minister Liu breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, the saint did not pursue him, otherwise he really didn't know what to do.
When the matter was finally over, Prime Minister Liu decided to take the whole family to Baishan Temple to burn incense. Either way, it's always good to ask for more than one blessing.
In the past two months, there has been no mention of the crown princess in the palace. Gradually, Liu Cheng's heart for his fourth daughter faded. It's just that this time he burned incense, and Prime Minister Liu Cheng still took her.
Liu's convoy set off early in the morning. Baishan Temple is located on the outskirts of Beijing and is the holy temple of Dongshan Country. The incense in the temple is prosperous, and asking for a sign is the most effective.
Prime Minister Liu Cheng, who has never believed in such things, unexpectedly knelt in front of the Buddha and earnestly begged for a signature.
I saw that it was written: The house is full of right and wrong, the disease is a little slight, and the favorite ghosts and gods help more, and the spring, summer, autumn and winter are suitable.
This signature secretly coincided with Prime Minister Liu Cheng's thoughts, and he didn't ask anyone to unsign it, but just stuffed a lot of incense money into the merit box.
Mrs. Liu also begged for a signature. I saw that it was written: Right and wrong must also be guarded against, there must be a break in the end, everything must be regressed, and it is the best to spare people.
"What does that mean?"
Mrs. Liu didn't know much about literature, so she asked the old abbot. The old abbot clasped his hands together: "Amitabha." Madame, this means, take a step back and open the sky. ”
"Take a step back?"
The old abbot said slowly: "Madam, whatever you have done, what you are doing, or what you want to do, you should let go. Looking at the face of Mrs., she is a person of good fortune. But if you insist on not changing, I'm afraid that Mrs. won't be able to bear the consequences!"
Mrs. Liu frowned: "Then tell me, what have I done?"
The old host said with a smile: "The old man is only responsible for unsigning, and the old man has no way to guess what the lady has done." Madam, the Buddha has the eyes of the sky, everything will eventually come to a conclusion, the sea of suffering is boundless, and the shore is the back!"
Mrs. Liu sneered: "Hehe, what else do I have to be afraid of." With that, she turned and left. The old abbot clasped his hands together again: "Amitabha." ”
Aunt Xue also knelt down with her eight-month-old belly, and she asked for a pregnancy sign.
I saw that the signature read: Pregnancy seeks to occupy the risk and peace, there is a slight false alarm temporarily, Gengxin Mao You's long birthday, although the labor is fierce, it does not damage the body.
The meaning of this sign is very clear, Aunt Xue is not incomprehensible. If there is danger in labor, then there is only one person who can bring her danger.
Aunt Xue hurriedly asked the old abbot for a peace blessing. Anyway, it's good to have peace of mind.
Liu Yuyao also came to ask for a signature. When the lottery was shaken, she glanced at it and threw it on the ground. Mrs. Liu asked her why she didn't go to unsign, and Liu Yuyao snorted coldly.
"This visa is not accurate, there is nothing to say. Let's go, mother, let's go have tea. ”
Xiao Qingzhu picked up Liu Yuyao's signature, only to see that it was written: It is not appropriate to propose marriage, and the wealth is not even, I am afraid that the matchmaker will not be able to do it, and others will be right and wrong.
Xiao Qingzhu laughed and laughed. It seems that Liu Yuyao still has no heart for the position of crown princess. She didn't want to ask for a signature, but Cai Ling circled her and begged for it once.
Cai Ling smiled and said, "It's all here, Miss, let's have fun, okay?"
This girl has become more and more playful since she got better. Xiao Qingzhu was so worn-out by her that he had a headache, so he had to smile and say, "Okay, okay, then I'll ask for a sign too." What do you ask for?"
"Marriage, marriage, marriage!" Cai Ling coaxed blindly beside him.
Xiao Qingzhu said like raising a bar: "Marriage is marriage!"
As she spoke, she knelt down and shook the box. At this time, only the sound of "Gaba" was heard, and the shiny box of the person who was asked to sign actually cracked at this time!
"Whoa!"
A box of sticks was scattered all over the ground. The little monk next to him was shocked, this was the first time they had encountered this situation!
"How can this be?" Xiao Qingzhu was shocked, she looked at the old abbot blankly.
"Amitabha!" the old abbot clasped his hands together, "Female benefactor, the heavens can't be peeped into!"
Xiao Qingzhu spread his hands: "This...... What's not to see!"
The old abbot said: "The marriage of the female benefactor is different from the usual, and the female benefactor herself is also different from the usual. ”
Xiao Qingzhu began to feel interesting: "How do you say this?"
The old abbot smiled kindly, but he did not answer the question: "If you come, you will be safe." Female donor, since the past is like a lifetime, in the future, please don't disappoint the will of heaven!"
When the old abbot had finished speaking, he turned and left. Xiao Qingzhu only felt a bang in her head, and her whole body was like cold water poured on her body, and she didn't even feel that Cai Ling and Cai Wei called her.
It was Aunt Xue who came over to wake her up, and she invited Xiao Qingzhu to go to the top of the mountain to worship the Mother and Child Stone, and didn't want anyone else to follow. Xiao Qingzhu knew that she had something to say to herself, so she readily agreed.
The mountain was very high, the road was steep, and Aunt Xue was so tired that she sat on the stone steps in a short time. After a while of the mountain wind, Aunt Xue asked, "Fourth Miss, what do you think of the affairs of Zhangfu?"
Xiao Qingzhu didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically, "What do you think?"
Aunt Xue thought for a while: "I don't believe in any divine fire from heaven. Zhang Fuping has offended a lot of people, and he is afraid that he will be retaliated against. It's just that it is still so blatant at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it can really be described as unscrupulous. ”
Xiao Qingzhu also sat down, and she said haha: "If I say that the matter of Zhangfu is my handiwork, do you believe it?"
Aunt Xue glanced at her in a little surprise, and then smiled: "Fourth Miss is really good at joking. If you had such a skill, how could you swallow your anger for so many years. She took out a small ledger and continued: "However, I have collected a lot of evidence that Mrs. Liu and the Zhang family are colluding. This is the account book of her secret income and expenditure, and I secretly copied a copy. She has done a lot of things behind her master's back over the years, and every time she takes it out, it will cause criticism. ”
Xiao Qingzhu took the small book and looked at it casually: "You probably don't want something to happen to the Liu Mansion, right?"
Aunt Xue smiled: "Of course." I just want to let the master know. As long as the lord knows this, for the sake of his children's future, he will also get rid of Mrs. Liu. ”
Xiao Qingzhu asked, "What do you want me to do?"
Aunt Xue said in a low voice: "After all, I have been Mrs. Liu's personal maid for so many years, if I hand these over to the master, it will inevitably be said that I will eat inside and out." I want you to hand it over to the master. ”
"Then when Mrs. Liu is removed, you may be straightened. ”
Aunt Xue smiled: "Yes." If I am correct, I will fully support you to become the crown princess. ”
If she made these things, with Liu Chengxiang's temperament, would she still be able to keep herself alive? Maybe she would have to blow some wind in her ears when the time comes! Xiao Qingzhu sneered in her heart, and then said lightly: "I don't want to be the crown princess." ”
Aunt Xue glanced at her in surprise: "You don't want to?"
Xiao Qingzhu returned the notebook to her: "Yes, I don't want to." ”
Aunt Xue gritted her teeth and said, "Then what should you do before you are willing to do this?"
Xiao Qingzhu thought for a while and said, "I want you to help me leave the Liu Mansion." ”
"This ......," Aunt Xue frowned, "You're hot now, and the master may not let you go." ”
Xiao Qingzhu smiled: "That's why I want you to help me!"
Aunt Xue thought for a while: "Okay, I promise." However, this will not be possible until I have a say. As he spoke, he handed over the notebook again.
Xiao Qingzhu didn't answer, but suddenly asked, "Aunt Xue, your belly is eight months, right?"
Aunt Xue subconsciously touched her stomach: "Yes, it's been eight months." ”
Xiao Qingzhu gestured at her stomach: "It's quite hard to wear a girdle every day." It's just that the abdomen can still be mixed up for a while, and if the labor period is not right, I'm afraid it will ......."
Aunt Xue was stunned for a moment, and then said stiffly: "Although there is no way now, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." ”
Xiao Qingzhu smiled: "But you know, the master is a suspicious person. ”
When Aunt Xue heard this, could it be that Miss Fourth had a way to help her? She thought about it, then took out the peace charm she had just begged for, and handed it over with the small notebook: "Miss Four, my feet are swollen, I originally wanted to go to the top of the mountain to pray for the safety of my mother and son, but now, I have to trouble Miss Fourth to help me send this charm up." ”
Xiao Qingzhu took the thing with a smile: "No problem." ”
