Chapter Thirty-Six: The Cold Ends and I Don't Know the Year
Thousands of strands of red silk hang quietly on the blessing tree, I don't know how many dynasties and generations have passed, it is still bright as new, at first glance it looks like the tree is full of bright red blooms.
Mo Yu said that there was a red ribbon that she tied, in order to pray for Shen Yuan back then. When the group heard this, they all looked up to look for it, although they knew that the red silk was the same appearance, and it was very good to be able to find a general location, but they still felt happy.
Sheng Qiuxiao was particularly serious, staring at the red silk trees stupidly, unaware that all his emotions were written on his face. She has never been as spicy and frivolous as the warbler, but at the moment she is too quiet, and every part of her body exudes a sad atmosphere, which is incompatible with the surrounding atmosphere.
Mo Yu Mandarin saw it in her eyes, and she knew it in her heart, coughed lightly to call her back to her senses, and only said to everyone: "A few of you, if anyone has any wishes, you can go to the side hall to ask for a piece of red silk, hang it to add blessings, and bless yourself with the fulfillment of your wishes and the smooth running of everything." ”
"Thank you, ma'am!" Qiu Xiao was really overjoyed, and blessed Mo Yu with gratitude on his face, and hurriedly ran to the side hall with the corner of his skirt. Shen Yuan knew that Sheng Qiuxiao must have a secret in this situation, but he was not interested in her story - everyone had their own fate, and it was useless to ask so much.
"She's not meant to be docile. The family was poor and sold her sister for food rations. When she came in, she first cried endlessly, and was beaten several times by the housekeeper's mother before she stopped, but she blindly dragged out and resisted, refusing to obey the discipline. Mo Yuan didn't know that Shen Yuan was not interested, and took the initiative to tell her the story of Sheng Qiuxiao.
"In fact, before the disaster year, her family was also wealthy, and she was also a girl, this is fate. Originally, I had already instructed me to buy a maid who lost money and rush to the backyard to do rough work. Who knew that after half a year, she broke a set of tea cups, was punished for kneeling in the rain, had a high fever, fell asleep for many days, and woke up but changed her personality, and rushed to learn singing, dancing, calligraphy and painting. I also suspected that she was pretending to be obedient and waiting for an opportunity to escape, but after all these many years, I could also see that she was really willing to live in Lengxiang Pavilion. ”
Mo Yuan said very simply, but Shen Yuan didn't take it to heart when he heard it. The woman who was sold into the Qinglou, whether she cried and resisted, was quiet and obedient, it was a very common thing, and there was nothing worth talking about.
When Sheng Qiuxiao came out again, Shen Yuan and Mo Yuyuan had a tacit understanding not to look at her. Qiu Xiao bowed silently for a long time, tiptoeing to tie the red silk on the tip of the tip. Seeing her so solemn, Shen Yuan thought that it was about something to do with the experience of her childhood, maybe it was because of that high fever that she realized the preciousness of being alive, and only by living well in the Cold Incense Pavilion could she be qualified to pray for the future.
Although Shen Yuan didn't tie the red rope, he silently begged for something in his heart. The same was true when she was a child, the kidnapper sold her to a vicious man, Yazi, and under that man's Yazi, she saw the biggest filth in the world, and the little man learned to endure and protect himself, so that he could save his life and survive until he was taken up the mountain.
The big family on the mountain is probably already reunited, right? Shen Yuan's nose was sour, and he suddenly hoped that there was really a god who could open his eyes to see the cause and effect of good and evil, and tell her father, mother, brother and sister who were bandits to find a good place to die, and they could be a family in the next life, and they would not suffer all kinds of suffering in this world again.
The past cannot be traced, she stopped in time and refused to continue to remember. There were many pilgrims and believers in the Eternal Life Temple, and when Qiu Xiao finally finished his devout visit to the blessing tree, the group was ready to leave. I hadn't taken two steps before I heard an urgent greeting.
"Lady Moyu, it's been a long time."
The person who came was a young man, handsome and kind, with a tall posture, with a mutton fat hosta hairpin, wearing a light sky blue poplin collared gown, embroidered with a branch of green bamboo on the placket and hem, a jade belt around the waist, and a jade flute.
Shen Yuan didn't recognize him, but Mo Yuan knew that he was a frequent visitor in the pavilion, and when they met in the Immortal Temple at this time, Mo Yuan was actually a little unnatural. The other party was calm and unrestrained, just like ordinary relatives and friends, and he also regarded Mo Yu as an elder, and respectfully bowed to her, and also nodded to Shen Yuan and Qiu Xiao.
The two girls are not easy to call the foreign man rashly, but the three maids are more free, and they only need to salute each other according to the number of courtesies. Mo Yu Yuanyuan accepted a salute, smiled and nodded, and introduced to the two of them, saying that he was the owner of the Tianhong Martial Arts Hall in Mojing City, Gu Gongzi. This Gu Gongzi followed up and added, saying that his single name is one word, Zhao.
In this way, Shen Yuan and Qiu Xiao could return the gift and blessed Gu Gongzi together. The two of them walked the same way, falling and being generous, but Qiu Xiao was gentle as usual, and bent his knees deeply, while Shen Yuan was still cold, and only bent his knees slightly. This scene should have been very strange, and it could even be called rude to outsiders, but on Shen Yuan's body, there was no obvious sense of disobedience, but because of the weakness on his face, it seemed more reasonable.
Mo Yuyuan exchanged a few words with this Gu Gongzi, which was nothing more than a short family member, and they were all very measured people, and they did not involve the smell of fireworks and red dust at all. At this time, if you ask others to look over, you can only think of it as a rich wife, leading two girls to come to the incense, and you happened to meet a son of a relative or friend.
Shen Yuan only had to wait on the side and listen quietly, but in a few words, he already felt that this person was really funny, as if there was no atmosphere in the world that he couldn't adjust, and there was no scene that he couldn't adjust. Rao is a pure-hearted person like her, and her humorous words also caused a chuckle.
What is commendable is that Gu Zhao's humor is not annoying, it is a kind of natural and middle-aged cultivation etiquette, which can make everyone feel comfortable, and it is by no means a joke and frivolity. Mo Yu Yuan also seemed to like him very much, and told him many days to prevent heat and so on.
Such encounters often ended quickly, and Gu Zhao said goodbye to the group and left first. The scenery in the Immortal View is really good, Mo Yu Yuan originally wanted to lead Shen Yuan around, but he was frightened by the danger in the Fang Cai Palace, and he also dispelled his thoughts, and just took a walk in the front yard.
Sheng Qiuxiao followed by all the time, holding Shen Yuan's arm on one side, holding the umbrella for her, and just smiling silently. Mo Yu Mandarin introduced a few sentences from time to time, Qiu Xiao listened carefully, but she didn't say much, even Shen Yuan felt that she was too quiet. It wasn't until they had walked around and it was almost time to leave, that Shen Yuan and Qiu Xiao walked behind together that they heard Qiu Xiao suddenly take the initiative to speak.
"Bai Yujing in the sky, five cities on the twelfth floor, the immortals touch my top, and I receive immortality. The Taoist temple is named 'Changsheng', I think it is a means of this? Her voice was not high, and perhaps she couldn't even hear Crimson Moon and Scarlet Cloud in her attendants.
Everyone would guess that the Sheng girl was talking to herself, but only Shen Yuan understood that she was talking to each other.
