"Jing Ting, I want to accompany me to Longhua Temple after taking a nap, okay?" Osmanthus remembered Yulin's words and wanted to go to Longhua Temple to ask for a sign to ask the Buddha.

"Okay, you go and rest first, and when you wake up, we'll go together." Tan Jingting nodded at the osmanthus, and now Tan Jingting is responsive to the osmanthus flower.

Tan Jingting sat alone on the sofa in the living room, he recalled the situation with Yu Lin and Shu Xian just now, he originally thought that Yu Lin and Shu Xian would talk about the imprisoned Communist Party criminal, intentionally or unintentionally, but he didn't expect the two of them to mention a word, which made him feel a little puzzled, could it be a coincidence that day, Yu Lin and Shu Xian really went to the dock to pick up their cousin? Could it be that Shuxian really went to the dungeon to find Aaron? Tan Jingting was a little skeptical of his original judgment.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Tan Jingting wore a suit and leather shoes, accompanied the osmanthus to Longhua Temple, and the two burned incense and prayed in front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

Then, the osmanthus drew a lot, and the sign read: Osmanthus is inserted into a golden bottle, and it is difficult to live without roots with water.

The two of them didn't know what they meant, and they came to a kind old abbot and asked for relief. The old abbot looked at the sign, then at Tan Jingting, and then put his hands together and asked: Is the donor engaged in the killing industry?

Tan Jingting was stunned in his heart: This abbot is really smart, just one glance to know that I am doing this, and I know that I can't deceive this monk, so he nodded.

"May I ask the abbot, what does this sign mean, auspicious?" Osmanthus handed the sign in his hand to the abbot.

"Donor, this is a sign."

"Signed?" Osmanthus was taken aback.

"Donor, have you ever lost a child?" The abbot stared at Tan Jingting.

Tan Jingting was an atheist, but at this moment, he felt that there must be gods in heaven and earth, and he thought of Mei Yongqing and the unborn child, and nodded silently.

"At the beginning, we had to put down the butcher's knife today, and only by being merciful and accumulating virtue and doing good deeds can we overcome this calamity. The old man said that if the donor has the root of wisdom, he should understand. “

"Thank you, Abbot, for your advice." Tan Jingting clasped his hands, saluted the old abbot, and then pulled the osmanthus away.

"Amitabha." The old abbot looked at the backs of Tan Jingting and Osmanthus, clasped his hands together, and said something in his mouth.

Shuyan returned home, she didn't understand why Yulin went to Tan Jingting's house today, except for doing family work, it seemed that she didn't say anything useful, at least she should confirm from the side whether the imprisoned Communist Party criminal was Tan Jingting's trap.

"Yulin, I don't understand why I went to Tan Jingting's house today?" Sook-yeon was blunt.

"Do you think we're gone for nothing today?" Yu Lin smiled at Shuyan.

"I didn't hear anything important except for chattering." Shuyan was a little frustrated: "There have been several times when I wanted to ask Tan Jingting about the things that the Communist Party was going to do, but you blocked it with your eyes. ”

"It's a good thing you held back and didn't ask, otherwise you would have gotten into trouble." Yu Lin pointed at Shuyan with his finger: "What do you want to inquire about?" Who is that Communist culprit? Where was he transferred? Shuyan, the so-called imprisoned Communist Party criminal is actually a trap set up by Tan Jingting for us, we have already gotten into it, do you still want him to tighten the rope? “

"So what are we going to do today?" Shuyan was still a little dazed.

"When we come, we must recognize the door; Second, I want to contact Brother Tan to get in touch with each other. Yu Lin said lightly: "Shuyan, in fact, not every time you set up with others, it is almost to steal information, usually maintain a good interpersonal relationship with others, and envelop feelings, which is to pave the way for the future, don't underestimate the role of moisturizing things silently." ”

"Do you think Tan Jingting will open up to us because of your feelings?"

"I don't know, but I think Tan Jingting is an emotional person. It is beneficial and harmless to have more contact with him. In the unlikely event that we fall into his hands in the future, it is not known whether he will show mercy to our men. Three, now Tan Jingting's biggest heart problem is the unborn child, the lesson of the past, he must cherish the child in the belly of the current osmanthus sister-in-law, so, I mentioned Longhua Temple, mentioned the abbot, I estimate that Tan Jingting will definitely go to Longhua Temple with Osmanthus to burn incense and ask for a signature. “

"What if you go?" Shuyan didn't understand what it meant for Tan Jingting and Osmanthus to go to Longhua Temple to burn incense and ask for a signature: "Could it be that the abbot of Longhua Temple is also our person?" ”

Yu Lin laughed: "That's not true, but which temple, which temple doesn't let people accumulate good deeds?" Tan Jingting has this heart disease, and he will naturally understand that he needs to accumulate good deeds for his children, and he should not have his hands covered with blood and be full of evil. What's more, today, the balance of power between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the people's hearts are back, he Tan Jingting is a smart person, he will not be unclear, I believe that he will judge the situation, even if he is not for himself, he has to make plans for his wife and children. “

"Yulin, you are so amazing, it seems that you didn't go in vain today." When Shuyan heard Yu Lin say this, she suddenly brightened up and admired Yu Lin very much.

"Of course it wasn't in vain, even if Tan Jingting was still obsessed, he would have some lingering palpitations, and he wouldn't kill for no reason. Okay, I'm going to go to the Temple of Literature and see if there are any of those traditional Cantonese opera records. “

Yu Lin came to the Temple of Literature in Nanshi, which is a temple dedicated to Confucius, the master of all ages, and the only Confucian shrine in the central city of Shanghai. In the more than 100 years before the Anti-Japanese War, the Confucian Temple gradually became the cultural center of the old city, but then gradually declined, and now it has become a street of used book stalls, where many literati and writers will exchange books, and sometimes if you are lucky, you can also find out-of-print solitary books, authentic works of famous artists.

Yu Lin wandered around the area to see if there were any records of Cantonese opera, and around the corner, he found a stall that specialized in selling records. I was interested in going to Taobao, most of the records here are the records of some singers, and there are also some operas, but mainly Peking Opera, Kunqu Opera, Shanghai Opera, Yue Opera and Pingtan, there are also burlesques, and finally found a record of Cantonese opera, Yu Lin is like a treasure, the hawker sees Yu Lin so much in love, so he deliberately raises the price, Yu Lin does not bargain, directly gives the money to the hawker, the hawker smiles, and feels that he has hit the punch.

Yulin took the record and came to Bali Bridge in a hurry, and the children were very excited when they saw Yulin coming, and they all pestered him one by one.

Yu Lin picked up Yu Er, Yu Er was almost three years old, and she was already a little pressed: "Yu Er, have you listened to Aunt Rong recently?" Did you make a mistake? ”

Yu Er hurriedly nodded and shook her head again: "I am obedient, I didn't make a mistake." ”

"Did you make a mistake yesterday?" Yong'er immediately exposed Yu'er to Yulin: "You drew a map in bed last night, so I didn't have a place to turn over, and my mother went to wash the quilt early in the morning today." ”

"Yong'er, you complaining embryo, Yu'er is still young, it's normal to wet the bed, when you were as young as Yu'er, you peed more than her. You love to worry about your sister, and you love to grab other people's pigtails, why don't you say that you broke a bowl the day before yesterday? Yurong glanced sideways at Yong'er.

"Mother, don't talk about Yong'er, she accidentally broke it when she was feeding Yu'er, and she cleaned up all the broken porcelain pieces by herself afterwards." Ming'er exonerated Yong'er, and Yong'er happily held Ming'er's hand.

"Ming'er, you protect your two younger sisters, they sometimes bully you, and you don't say anything." Yurong looked at Ming'er distressedly.

"I'm the boss now, it's right to let my sister go, I'm still a boy, boys can't worry about girls, my cousin and aunt have always told me this before." Naruto has a manly heart.

"Well, Ming'er does look like an older brother, like a little man, come, cousin rewards Ming'er with a piece of osmanthus red bean cake." Yu Lin listened to Ming'er's words and appreciated them very much.

Yu Lin took out a piece of osmanthus red bean cake from the paper bag and gave it to Ming'er.

"I want it too, I want it too." Yong'er and Yu'er also clamored to eat osmanthus red bean cake.

"Both, both." Yulin gave Yong'er a piece and Yu'er a piece.

Ming'er took the osmanthus red bean cake, was reluctant to eat it, and walked up to Yurong: "Mother, you taste it first." ”

"Ming'er, you can eat it yourself." Yu Rong hurriedly pushed back.

"Mother, if you don't eat it, I won't eat it, you can taste it first." Ming'er insisted on letting Yurong take a bite, but Yurong couldn't twist Ming'er, so she tasted it.

"Isn't it delicious?" Naruto looked at Yurong expectantly.

Yu Rong nodded again and again: "It's delicious, it's delicious." ”

"Mother, you can also taste my piece of cake." Yong'er also handed the osmanthus red bean cake to Yurong: "Mother, you can't be partial, only eat my brother's piece, not mine." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll take a bite too." Yurong took a bite of Yong'er's osmanthus cake.

"Aunt Rong, and mine." Yu'er also ran over, snuggled up to Yu Rong, lifted the osmanthus cake, and asked Yu Rong to taste it, and Yu Rong also took a symbolic bite.

"Yurong, you are really a blessed person, you see, the children are rushing to honor you." Yu Lin's eyes showed envy.

When Ming'er heard this, she hurriedly handed the osmanthus cake in her hand to Yulin: "Cousin, you can taste it." ”

"Ming'er, you can eat it yourself, my cousin said this, it's not jealousy of your mother, it's envy, after all, you are all raised by your mother with a handful of shit and urine, without your mother pulling you so hard, there would be no you today, so you must not forget your mother's nurturing grace."

Ming'er, Yong'er, and Yu'er all nodded vigorously.

"Cousin, don't say that, these children are all the children and grandchildren of our Lu family, this is my unshirkable responsibility, I promised my wife, I promised Yuting, I promised my young grandmother, no matter how difficult it is, I must raise these children to adulthood."

Yu Lin nodded.

Ah Cheng came back, and when he saw Yulin and Yurong looking at each other, he hurriedly beckoned the children over.

"Cousin, you're here, sit down for a while, I'll buy some snacks later, and you'll have dinner with us." Come, Ming'er, Yong'er, Yu'er, go down with your uncle, let's play eagle and catch chickens, okay? ”

"Okay." The children responded and followed Ah Cheng to the patio to play the game of eagle catching chickens.

Yu Lin and Yu Rong were left in the room, Yu Lin sat next to Yu Rong, hugged Yu Rong with one hand, and caressed Yu Rong's hand with the other.

Yu Lin opened Yu Rong's hand, the knuckles were thick, and the ends of the fingers were cracked: "Yu Rong, look at your hands, they are all cracked, your previous hands were like what was written in the book, slender jade hands, but now ......, these years, you have worked too hard." ”

"Young Master, it's actually ......" Yurong happily leaned on Yu Lin's arm.

"Yurong, don't call me young master, no one is there now, just call me Yulin." Yu Lin looked at Yu Rong affectionately.

"Yulin." Yurong called Lu Yulin's name for the first time, and tears flashed in her eyes: "Yulin, it's actually nothing, as long as the children can grow up safely and healthily, what is it if there are some cracks in their hands." It's you, Yulin, you've really aged a lot in the past few years, and I want to do something for you, but there are many things I can't help you do. ”

Looking at Yu Lin's emaciated face, Yu Rong felt distressed and guilty in her heart.

"Yurong, in fact, I know that since I was a child, you have treated me differently than others, you always protect me everywhere, I remember, when I was a child, I was naughty, every time my father punished me for not having food, you secretly sent me food, if I was beaten by my father, you would shed tears sadly on the side, if my father lost his temper with me, you would beg my father for mercy, or go to my mother to move rescuers."

"You remember it so clearly."

Yu Rong looked at Yu Lin affectionately, all along, Yu Rong felt that Yu Lin didn't care about her, and turned a blind eye to everything she did, but she didn't expect that in fact, Yu Lin hid everything she did deep in her heart. Yu Rong listened to Yu Lin's narration, and a warm current rippled in her heart.

"How can you forget? We grew up together, and the story that happened between us is really ten days and ten nights that can't be finished, but for so many years, I have always regarded you as a sister, as an iron buddy, and later, I married Shuxian, you married Brother Yuting, I thought that this was the end of our lives, but I didn't expect that fate would play tricks on people like this, you lost Yuting, I lost Shuxian, if it wasn't for Shuyan, I think you and I might not come together in this life, after all, these two people are our love. However, So-yeon is right, we have to look forward, we can't keep remembering the past and indulging in pain. Yurong, I hope that after the liberation of Shanghai, I will be able to marry you. Would you like to? ”

Yu Rong looked at Yu Lin emotionally and nodded solemnly: "I must wait for you to marry me." ”
