The Wind Rises (3)
The Buddhist hall of Qi Mansion, Xue Ling has really entered, on the first day of the new year, Baba was pulled to incense, on the surface, Qi Qingfei was the most miserable, and his grinning body was abnormal. In fact, Xue Ling knelt on the soft cushion, her waist was about to break, she used to kneel often, but it was just a blink of an eye, and as soon as Xue Yihan left, she immediately collapsed on the ground. That's good, four or five people stared, and she had to kneel straight. Coupled with the three or four bald heads next to it, the wooden fish knocked loudly, and the morning seemed to be as long as a year. After kneeling, I was secretly glad that I didn't come out like this every day, otherwise my knees would be useless, and Mrs. Qi was in good shape.
Holding the box and following Lu Yu to the Buddha Hall, Mrs. Qi was also taken aback when she heard that it was Xue Ling who came, and she was inserting flowers for worship.
Although it is the flesh and blood of her own master, what woman can be without mustard. Fortunately, this missing pearl did not add any chaos, and it was not the end of the restless chicken dog in the grandmother's mouth. But my youngest daughter goes to someone's yard every day, and she doesn't listen to what she says.
When Mrs. Qi remembered that this matter was a foregone conclusion, she went back to her parents' house, and her mother also poked her head and said: "It's really a helpless person, if you send it out in three or two sentences, how dare he Qi Shiyan not do it." ”
But the husband and wife have lived half their lives hand in hand, and they raise their eyebrows. I don't know what the person next to me is thinking. Master, he wants to keep this child. Let's stay, a daughter's family, so big, maybe I will leave the cabinet in less than a year, and I will pay some dowry.
After greeting for a while, Xue Ling opened the box and offered it with both hands: "My aunt at home thanked Mrs. for taking care of her, and went to ask Master Huaisheng for a string of prayer beads. ”
The Buddha hall is supplied with lamp oil all the year round, and under the swaying firelight, the rosary is even more bright, and Mrs. Qi is famous and expensive at a glance. She is very clear about this person's life experience, she should be very down-and-out, how can there be such a valuable thing.
Without waiting for her to ask, Xue Ling said first: "Madame Mingjian, my mother has always been a Qing person, since I have me, I have lived in my aunt's house, my aunt has always made a living from the fruit business, and the demand for fresh fruits in the temple is large, so I have a friendship with Master Huaisheng." ”
It's not easy to lie, it's not easy to lie, Xue Ling gasped silently in his heart. This Huaisheng master didn't know which one it was, anyway, she was blindly made up by looking at the words on the gold seal. If she hadn't stayed in Su Mansion for two or three years, it would be nice if her tongue didn't tie knots.
"I see." Mrs. Qi picked up the rosary, it is indeed the seal of Master Huaisheng, this Bodhi is polished, the top is engraved with slenderness, and the eight treasure pictures are unfinished, I really like it. said: "Your aunt has a heart." ”
The two chatted a little more, Xue Ling deliberately introduced the topic to Qi Qingfei, and gradually said that Qingfei loves to eat honeydew melons very much, and she just ate almost a whole, and she was afraid that she would eat her stomach. As soon as the words came out, he quickly covered his mouth and said, "Madame, don't go and say that Qingfei is not, I still swear not to say it." ”
"Why is this girl so troublesome." Mrs. Qi listened to Qingyu every day complaining that Qingfei was now hiding from her father and righteous daughter in the yard every day, and she was quarreling with her. Asked the mother-in-law to say the same, she looked for Lu Gardenia to ask, only to say that Miss Qingfei loves gadgets, and this new lady has too much, so she refused to leave.
I know what my daughter is, so I deliberately asked my grandmother to knock on the side and ask Qingfei twice, but there was nothing abnormal, and Mrs. Qi didn't care. Now the lord has come to the door, but she feels that she is not well educated, so disgraceful.
"Madame, don't be angry, Qingfei is still young, I... It's also temporary....it doesn't matter if you eat some. Xue Ling twisted his clothes, looking very frightened.
"That's it, I won't mention it, I have to talk about her well, I'm getting more and more presumptuous."
"Thank you, madam, if it's okay, I'll go back first." Xue Ling pouted and wanted to leave.
"Go ahead..... hey, wait, this winter, where did you get the honeydew melon." Mrs. Qi asked suspiciously.
Xue Ling blew his forehead bangs, turned around and faced Mrs. Qi again, this old lady finally grasped the point. There was no honeydew melon in her room just now, and it was true that she ate almost one in Su Mansion today.
"It was originally given by my aunt, and it should have been given to my father and wife, but it was just a clear ......" Xue Ling didn't continue, she wasn't afraid of Mrs. Qi going to confront her, her own daughter snatching melons, it was estimated that everyone would not scold these etiquettes openly. Anyway, Qi Qingfei picked up a box from her and ran fast, and Lu Yu also saw it.
Xue Ling's toes quietly twisted in his shoes, and said secretly: "I'm really sorry, I'll give you all the good things when I turn around." ”
Mrs. Qi was really angry, and she recited a few words of Amitabha Buddha with beads in her hand before saying to Xue Ling: "You go back first, don't be afraid, I won't say what you said." This is good, this is good, if this is spread out, it will be said that the girl who is raising the room robs the two melons. Thanks to the fact that winter melons are rare, they are not priceless, otherwise they would think they are trying to make money for other people's private houses.
Xue Ling hurriedly withdrew from the door, the effect seemed to be very good, judging from Mrs. Qi's expression, she would be able to ask Mrs. Su's mansion to send melons tomorrow.
I've been acting all day today, this time I rested, I was tired and panicked, Xue Ling asked Lu Yu to get a soft place in front of the desk, people want to sit down, they want to lie down. I just talked for a while, my mouth was dry, and I didn't feel moist in the two bowls of white fungus, and I took some candied fruit and put it in my mouth, she liked these little snacks.
There is a moment of peace, just live it.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Lu Yu to say that the master had passed on the family meal tonight, urging Xue Ling to dress up and go again. Xue Ling didn't refuse, sat in front of the mirror, and tossed with the green gardenia.
When I arrived at the main hall, I saw Qi Qingfei sobbing on the chair, and Qi Qingman was whispering and coaxing on the side.
Qi Qingyu was not angry when he saw Xue Ling coming in, and muttered: "What a good thing, isn't it just a little family's anger, and if you send someone away, you have to complain."
Xue Ling pretended not to know and sat down, and when he looked at it from the front, Qi Qingfei's eyes were red, and he didn't know how long he had been crying, and said, "What's wrong." ”
Qi Qingfei raised his head, only to see that it was Xue Ling coming, and his tears couldn't be stopped, and he said intermittently: "You.. If you don't want to give it to me, just ..... me...... I'm not that rare... Why did you carry me to my mother's house and say that I was misbehaving?" She finished crying at that time, and she couldn't stand the coaxing of her second sister, so she felt wronged. I've been like this since I was a child, and a few sisters took things by themselves, but today my mother lost her temper and said that there was a difference between relatives and relatives, and she didn't understand the rules.
"I didn't, but my aunt brought a string of rosaries to my wife, and I sent them, and the others didn't speak."
"That's it, I'll take it back to you after eating it in a while." Qi Qingfei's crying rose, and he turned his face again, not looking at Xue Ling.
