Chapter 1: Before the Buddha

In early spring, the weather warms up and everything recovers.

In the backyard of Jingfu, in a quiet and elegant Buddhist hall.

"Old lady, are you in such a hurry, are you forcing the little young master too hard?" A middle-aged woman in a dark green cotton skirt knelt on the cold floor, not daring to look up, with a somewhat complicated expression on her face, and asked boldly.

Next to the gilded Buddha statue, there is a delicate-looking three-legged incense burner made of purple gold, above the lit incense candle, light blue smoke curls into the air, refreshing sandalwood fills the room, and in front of the Buddha statue, there is an old woman with high hair and a little hoarfrost next to her ears.

The old woman was wearing a washed and somewhat whitish light blue plain dress, without a single jewelry, her expression was serene, and her body exuded a unique temperament that saw through the world and was quiet and far-reaching, muttering scriptures in her mouth, and her attitude was pious.

"Anitus ......"

The old woman did not reply, one hand was raised in front of her chest, and the other hand slowly turned the Buddha beads, the whole string of Buddha beads is often twisted by people, the purple paint has all fallen off, revealing light brown wood, which can be seen that it has been used for a long time.

In front of the old woman, there is also a wooden fish with cracks on the surface due to perennial beating.

Although there was no response, the middle-aged woman did not dare to be disrespectful in the slightest, hung her head, and knelt there quietly.

It was only after half a column of incense that the old woman slowly opened her eyelids, and her calm and waveless eyes turned a few times, becoming a little angry.

The middle-aged woman seemed to be aware of it and hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"When I was young, the old body didn't believe that there was a reincarnation in this world, but as I got older year by year, I had a unique sense in my heart, and I knew that heaven is clear, good is rewarded, and evil is rewarded! At the age of fifty, he knows the destiny of heaven, and the old body is already in his fifties this year. The old woman held her arm, slowly got up from the futon, looked at the solemn Buddha statue with a slight smile, and after speaking, it seemed that there was some nervous chatter, and did not answer the middle-aged woman's previous question.

"Yes, your old man must be rewarded with kindness." The middle-aged woman bent down and smiled to help the old woman knead her kneades because she had been kneeling for a long time, and her knees were a little sore, and her movements were skillful, which showed that she often served people like this.

"Good retribution?"

The old woman shook her head slightly, feeling that her knees were conscious, so she held the middle-aged woman's hand and slowly walked out of the Buddhist hall step by step, "When I was a girl, I had a short temper, and I often beat and scolded the people in the house, which is very bad, but fortunately, my family covered it up for me."

Otherwise, if the reputation spreads, who family would want a daughter-in-law like me?

Although he was slightly restrained after getting married, he was jealous of the vixens of the old man and tried his best!

not only lost the dignity of the real lady, but also set a trap at the first opportunity...... Eventually, even the heart turned black. ”

The old lady of Jingfu has passed away, and it was in the year of her death that the old lady finally saw through that all things in the red dust were just clouds of the past, love and hatred, and self-seeking troubles in vain. Now the concubines left by Mrs. Jing are living very well, eating, wearing, and using degrees, she has never been embarrassed by the power in the house, and allows them to go out of the Jingfu at any time to go shopping and play, visit relatives and friends.

Even if someone wants to leave the house and remarry, she is happy to see it happen and give a sum of silver taels.

This is extremely rare among wealthy families with strict family rules in ancient times.

The middle-aged woman couldn't help but glance up at the old lady, and hurriedly lowered her head again.

She grew up in Jingfu since she was a child, and her mother was the old lady's dowry, so she naturally knew the old lady's past.

In fact, the old lady was a little pampered and rude at most when she was young.

The heart is not bad.

As for marrying into Jingfu...... Imagine how many women who have moved their true feelings, who can truly accept their husbands' left and right hugs, three wives and four concubines from the bottom of their hearts?

There are sins, but there are forgivable circumstances!

The middle-aged woman sighed in her heart, and said: "You have eaten fasting and worshipping the Buddha over the years, and often gave money to some temples for fragrant oil, and when the situation was not good, you also opened a porridge shed to give porridge to the homeless people......"

"The sins have been committed, and it is useless to make up for them, otherwise those wicked people will be able to become good people immediately after they have done bad deeds and then give some money, rice and grain to the temple and Taoist temple?" The old woman's serene face was calm, and she waved her hand lightly to interrupt,

"I'm just asking for comfort in my heart, not really thinking that doing something good will make me pay for my past sins. If I have to say that I am unwilling, I hope that God will take my life, and don't blame Jiang Long for the mistakes I made. ”

Speaking of this, the old woman's expression changed, as if she remembered something, and suddenly sighed heavily.

Compared with the sins he committed, what his father-in-law and his son did ...... "Alas! ”

The middle-aged woman didn't know how to persuade her, so she found another topic, "Old lady, winter has passed, and now the weather is gradually getting warmer, do you want to let the housekeeper in the house arrange it and go out for a walk?" ”

"What? Can't see me staying in the Buddha hall every day? The old woman chuckled.

The middle-aged woman hurriedly knelt down, "The slave doesn't dare." ”

The old woman's palm was slightly forced, and the middle-aged woman didn't dare to continue to kneel, she gently patted the back of the middle-aged woman's hand, and said with a smile: "It's just a joke with you, you don't have to take it seriously, and sometimes you really calm down and think about it, life is just a dream!" ”

Speaking of this, with a long sigh, a faint melancholy floated in the old woman's somewhat dim eyes, "There are not many people in the house who can joke with me now." ”

A thin layer of sweat oozed from the middle-aged woman's forehead, and her expression was reserved, not knowing how to respond.

"I'm all old, with old arms and legs, what kind of green are you stepping on." The old woman shook her head slightly, and then the conversation changed abruptly, "As for Jiang Long, do you think I am willing to force him?" ”

"But the little young master has been delicate and weak since he was a child, and sometimes he can't get out of bed when he is weak, and his temper is twisted, in case he ......" The middle-aged woman didn't expect the old lady to suddenly change the topic, and she was stunned for a moment before she spoke.

"I brought him up, can I not know his temper? But in the Jing clan, he is the only man left in our house! And he gets sick from time to time, I don't know when he ......" Speaking of this, a thick grief flashed in the old woman's eyes, which made the seeer sad, but after taking a deep breath, her expression returned to calm, and then said: "I don't want to persecute him, but ours must have an incense inheritance!" ”

"But ......"

"No, but!" The old woman's voice suddenly became stern, her waist was straight, and her momentum changed greatly, without the previous taste of seeing through the world and being otherworldly, and her sharpness was revealed, "Ya'er is his wife, and they met when they were young, although the two were still young, it can be seen that he likes them very much."

But Weishenme married him back, but he had a stinky face and refused to even have sex with him?

He has been well-behaved since he was a child, and he is also a little smart, although he can't achieve big things, but he can also do it by keeping his family business. The most valuable thing is that he knows how to compare his heart with his heart and understand the difficulties of others, although the house is rich, but he has not cultivated the domineering and arrogant attitude of ordinary wealthy children, but weishenme is doing such a decisive decision this time?

When I asked him, he didn't answer.

It's really going to be angry with the old body!

Imagine, if your daughter gets married in the future, but her husband is unwilling to have a marriage, how will you and your daughter be ashamed?

Fortunately, Ya'er is sensible, otherwise there would have been a big mess a long time ago.

Good! Taking a step back, maybe they haven't seen each other for many years, they don't have much to do with each other, and they are relatively unfamiliar.

So the two girls who have been serving him since he was a child and grew up with him, the jade hairpin and the treasure bottle, he weishenme and refuse to touch a finger? ”

Xu said too much in one breath, or maybe because he had been holding back for a long time, and finally vented out, Mrs. Jing's chest rose and fell, and she was a little gasping.

The middle-aged woman didn't answer, and she didn't know how to answer this kind of thing.

However, I also agree with the old lady's words in my heart, and the round house with the husband is a big thing for a woman, if you don't want to be stubborn and strong, it is estimated that even such a thing as hanging yourself and jumping into a well to beg for death can be done.

It's just that she was a little puzzled, at the beginning when the old lady made up her mind and planned to marry the young lady into the mansion in advance, the young master who was sick and weak was still very happy.

But just a few days before the young lady was about to enter the door, the young master suddenly became repulsed and irritable?

As for the jade hairpin and the vase......

These two girls are just the identity of Yahuan, so they don't have to pay too much attention to it, and although they are loyal to the little master, they grew up in a rich family like Jingfu and grew up in an environment full of intrigue, which makes them not very old, but their hearts are not small.

The middle-aged woman doesn't say she hates it, but she definitely doesn't like these two rings.

"Anyway!" Mrs. Jing's face was solemn, and her words fell to the ground, "The incense of Jingfu can't be broken!" You go to Dr. Xu to enter the house, and in the past two days, you can open more precious medicinal materials to recuperate and recuperate Jianglong's body, and you don't have to be stingy with money.

Then I went to tell Jiang Long, five days, I will give him five days at most, and he must have a round house with Ya'er, Yuchai, or with the treasure bottle.

If he still doesn't agree and loses his temper, you will pass on my words......"

At this moment, a little girl with a bun suddenly ran through the door in a hurry, her expression was flustered, because she was too eager, her little face was flushed, and her voice was even higher than that, "Old lady, it's not good, the ninth master and they are coming to the house again, Steward Gu said that he can't be appeased, and Mrs. Dai is not easy to deal with, so please go to the lobby." ”

Mrs. Dai?

When the middle-aged woman heard this, her face was strange.

"Hmm." Mrs. Jing nodded with a smile, took a step forward, raised her washed white sleeves to help the little girl wipe the hot sweat on her forehead, and said kindly and gently: "You girl, what are you doing in such a hurry?" The sky won't fall. ”

"Yes." The little girl smiled shyly and lowered her head slightly.

The middle-aged woman was shocked first, and then breathed a long sigh of relief, this little girl really doesn't know whether to live or die!

The old lady is the most disciplined before worshipping the Buddha, and her temperament is not very good, if someone dares to be so reckless in front of her, she will inevitably be beaten by the board.

A few words of advice to the middle-aged woman, Mrs. Jing had a kind smile on her face, holding the arm of the little girl, walking slowly, not in a hurry to walk towards her bedroom, to change her dress, in the Buddhist hall, she is a monk.

But in front of people, she is the old lady who is the master of Jingfu!

If you wear this one again, it won't fit.
