Chapter 817: Old Lady Du
Lin Rang said no more.
Don't care what Liao Qing means, that is, his father has his own arrangements and plans, his father is just one set in his mouth and one set in his hands, he really wants to be ruthless and doesn't care about his aunt's offspring, why did he send someone to Qingshui Town in advance?
Why did he use his personal feelings to ask Jinghai Academy to send an invitation letter to Liao Qing?
He's a dead duck with a hard mouth, and he has a plan in mind.
His own son still doesn't know his temper and character?
Thinking about it like this, I put my mind at ease and took the school entrance examination with Lin Hanlin.
***
The backyard of Dufu is the quietest corner yard.
It was quiet.
The largest room is set up as a Buddhist hall, and there is an old lady in plain clothes, kneeling on top of the Buddha group in the center, chanting sutras with her eyes closed.
After she finished reciting a section of the Diamond Sutra, two mothers-in-law carefully helped her up.
When I am old, no matter how thick the mat is on the ground, I will be numb in my legs and feet after kneeling for a long time.
"Old lady, you can sit and chant the scriptures in the future, as long as you are sincere, the Buddha will not blame."
"It's okay, my old bones, I can still walk and stand now, and when I can't stand up in the future, it's not too late for me to sit and chant the scriptures."
The mothers-in-law are even less persuasive.
A maid said, "Today, Aunt Bai sent a few more hand-copied Buddhist scriptures......
Mrs. Du snorted, "Let it go." ”
The mother-in-law hesitated again, and stopped talking.
The old lady said, "Say it." ”
The mother-in-law continued, "Aunt Bai's mother-in-law said when she sent the Buddhist scriptures, saying that Mrs. Lin Xuejun's eldest young master who was left outside had found it, called Liao Qing, it was a misunderstanding last time, and he was impersonated, this time it was really true, it won't be wrong, old lady, do you want to come and see it?" I remember that back then, when the eldest young master was born, the first person to hug was you, and you liked it very much......"
Mrs. Du interrupted coldly, "No need, I said it a long time ago, I don't want to meddle in anything, so they don't have to talk to me about anything, and I won't care." ”
"Yes." The serving mother-in-law said no more.
Mrs. Du is closed all day in Du Mansion, she doesn't go out herself, and she also makes fewer people waiting in the yard go out, all day long is to eat fasting and chant Buddha, living a life of pure heart and few desires.
Yesterday, there was such a big event in the mansion, and the masters of the Du Mansion welcomed Young Master Liao Qing back to the mansion for a reunion dinner together, and Du Zhengyan did not inform Mrs. Du that she knew that she loved to be quiet and would not pay attention to it.
The mother-in-law didn't know either, but they only heard what Aunt Bai said when Aunt Bai's servant woman sent the Buddha to pass by today.
Last time, Liao Changsheng, who pretended to return to the house, Aunt Bai also informed Mrs. Du, when Liao Changsheng was targeted by Mrs. Yu in the Du Mansion, Mrs. Du looked at the past feelings, and also went out of the yard once, and found that the person was a fake later, although Mrs. Du didn't say anything in her mouth, but her heart was probably cooler and lighter.
Now I don't care if it's true or not.
"Wash and sleep, even if the sky falls outside, it's none of our business, and you don't have to report it to me in the future."
"Yes, old lady."
***
In the evening, Liao Qing stayed in Du Zhengyan's study for more than an hour before being released back to Baiyuan.
Xu Jiaojiao asked him what he said.
Liao Qing smiled and said, what else can you say, isn't it just a matter of taking concubines and having sex? I gave him a clear reply, your return to people is my idea, I don't want it myself, I can't look down on anyone except you, my father will forget it.
Xu Jiaojiao twisted Liao Qing's ears and taught him another lesson.
Liao Qing copied the Du family's family rules for Xu Jiaojiao three times overnight, the Du family is a big family in Bingyang City, the family rules are stinky and long, rules and regulations, details or something, and they were copied until the rooster crows in the middle of the night, and they were copied.
Xu Jiaojiao also accompanied the side, the two said something, Liao Qing copied the family rules, Xu Jiaojiao read the medical book, and when Liao Qing copied the terms of the Du family's interesting or special punishment, he would read it to Xu Jiaojiao, and the two also discussed the family rules.
In Xu Jiaojiao's view, aside from Du Fu, family rules do need to be there, and the norms will bind future generations, but it is necessary to take its essence and remove its dross.
Everything was done, and the two were about to rest down, when Xu Jiaojiao suddenly heard a commotion outside!
One is because the doors and windows are closed tightly, and the other is because it is too far away, so it is not very real.
I only vaguely heard words like "dead man", dead man and so on.
"Something seems to have happened...... It seems to be the courtyard of the lady's side, and the direction of the peony house ......"
Liao Qing walked quickly to the window and pushed open the large wooden window.
The sound outside suddenly became real.
For more and more servants joined the ranks of panicked screams.
"Come on! It's dead!! ”
"Qiu Jin, Dong Jin, two girls, !! dead"
One voice was sharper than the other, and in this silent night, it spread up and down the Du Mansion.
Xu Jiaojiao and Liao Qing glanced at each other, and a sense of foreboding rose up.
Aren't Qiu Jin and Dong Jin the two big girls they drove away today?
He's dead?!
How did this die? Why?
Xu Jiaojiao said, "Let's go and have a look." ”
Liao Qing put on her clothes again and took a coat for Xu Jiaojiao.
As soon as the two of them left the house, they also saw Mama Qin and a group of servants coming out in their clothes, obviously shocked.
Mama Qin said to the servants, "You all go back to the house to rest, without the master's instructions, you don't have to make a fuss to come out to see the excitement, it's not a matter in our yard, let's not make a mess." ”
This is reasonable, at the critical moment, there must be arrangements, and all the people go out to make a commotion in the middle of the night, and it is easy to have accidents.
The people all shrank back.
Xu Jiaojiao, Liao Qing, and Mama Qin held lanterns and went to the Peony Courtyard to see the situation.
Halfway through, the sound became quieter, as if the commotion was under control.
On the way, I met Hu Guards.
Looking at it from a distance, it seems that the guards have surrounded the peony house.
Guard Hu stopped Xu Jiaojiao and them, "I've seen Young Master Liao Qing, Young Grandma ......"
Liao Qing asked, "What happened?" ”
Hu Guardsman said, "There are two Yahuan who can't think of drinking poison and committing suicide, there is no big deal, the eldest young master and the young grandmother, please go back and rest, these two Yahuan are the sons of the house, dead slaves, life and death have little to do with it, don't take it to heart." ”
Xu Jiaojiao subconsciously frowned, although she didn't like these two girls and wanted to rob her man, but this is also two lives, but it was said so lightly by the master, life and death have little to do with it, it is the same feeling as the death of a poultry, it is too careless to take people's lives.
