Chapter 67: Bamboo tube sticks

Chu Yueli smiled slightly, and said to Chu Xianglin: "If I save him, he will be one of my dogs." He was obedient, and I kept him. He didn't obey, so I stewed him. Raising an eyebrow, "In order to please you, I will also give you a foot of his so that you can taste the taste of a dog's paw." ”

Chu Xianglin's face changed, obviously he didn't expect Chu Yueli to say such cruel words. Her stomach was churning and she almost threw up!

Chu Yueli approached Chu Xianglin and said quietly: "If he is obedient, I will also reward him and taste the taste of a woman's neck." His gaze fell on Chu Xianglin's neck and slowly swept over.

Chu Xianglin suddenly felt a chill on his neck, especially ...... Cold. She hurriedly covered her neck, stepped back, her back pressed against the board, twisted her head, clenched her fingers, and stopped talking.

Chu Man'er and Chu Zhaoyue didn't speak either. The former subconsciously stayed away from Chu Yueli, but the latter was secretly observing Chu Yueli. Chu Yueli closed her eyes and took a nap.

After the carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain at the gate of Jingruo Temple, Chu Zhaoyue opened her mouth and asked, "Third sister, are you serious?" ”

Chu Yueli sneered, opened her eyes, and said, "Just kidding." Otherwise, how can I shut you up and let me sleep well? ”

Chu Man'er sighed fiercely, patted her chest and said, "The third sister is too bad!" It scares the hell out of me! I...... I don't even dare to speak! ”

Chu Xianglin lowered her eyes, and got out of the carriage directly with her skirt, not daring to look at Chu Yueli, and ran away from her. For some reason, even though Chu Yueli said that she was joking, she didn't feel the slightest joke. She vaguely felt that Chu Yueli was a ruthless person.

Chu Xianglin came to the first carriage and waited aside, ready to walk with Mrs. Chu and Aunt Zhao, she would never want to share a carriage with Chu Yueli again.

Aunt Zhao got out of the carriage first, and when she saw Chu Xianglin, who was pale, her heart was mentioned. Reaching out and grabbing Chu Xianglin's hand, he asked, "What's wrong?" Why are the hands so cold? ”

Chu Xianglin saw that Chu Yueli and the others also got out of the carriage, so he shook his head, withdrew his hand, and said, "It's okay." ”

Mrs. Chu got out of the carriage with the support of Guiru.

Chu Shuyan was already waiting by the carriage and said in a low voice: "Mother, there are more people who come to worship the Buddha today, the road on the mountain is full of carriages, and it is not easy to turn around, so you can only get off here and walk up." ”

Mrs. Chu nodded and said, "Worshipping the Buddha is to see sincerity, get off the carriage here and walk up to show sincerity." He raised his chin to look at Chu Yueli and the others, and continued with a shelf, "When you get to the mountain, you don't have to chatter." Our young lady in Chu Mansion must be dignified so that she will not be laughed at. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Chu, supported by Guiru, walked towards Jingruo Temple step by step.

Chu Shuyan and the others surrounded her, which made her very satisfied. However, when she saw other officials and dependents sitting on the soft sedan chair mountain in gorgeous and delicate clothes, her heart was not so good.

Aunt Zhao took the lead and shouted: "Oh, this turned out to be a soft sedan chair, why don't you know that you can hire two of them, so that the lady and the concubine will not be so embarrassed?" ”

Chu Shuyan replied: "Outside Jingruo Temple, there are a total of twenty soft sedan chairs, which are usually wealthy, but today they are not enough. I paid double the money and asked them to wait for my mother at the bottom of the mountain, but they refused, preferring to make two more trips than delay their business. ”

Aunt Zhao said dissatisfiedly: "Only double the silver? If you give more, will people not be happy? Could it be that they are expensive, and our wife is a broken family?! ”

Mrs. Chu frowned and glared at Aunt Zhao.

Aunt Zhao patted her mouth lightly, and said with a smile: "It's the concubine who is stupid and said the wrong thing." The concubine is also distressed by the lady. ”

Mrs. Chu said: "In front of the Buddha, you pay attention. ”

Aunt Zhao thought about it too, so she shut up and stopped talking.

The road is not far, but for these women who do not leave the door without stepping out, it is simply fatal.

They rested many times along the way, and finally climbed to the gate of Jingruo Temple. Except for Chu Yueli and Chu Shuyan, everyone else was so tired that they were out of breath and went to half their lives. Aunt Zhao couldn't say a word, leaning against the wall, holding her stomach and panting. As for the mothers-in-law who are holding and carrying luggage, they are also very tired, but they are obviously more than a star and a half stronger than them.

When everyone has rested enough, everyone tidied up their dresses and went in to worship the Buddha.

The walls of Jingruo Temple are painted with white gray, the tiles are black and gray, and the doors are dark brown wooden doors. At a glance, there is a kind of elegance and chic of the Yanyu people in the south of the Yangtze River. When I entered the gate, it was a large compound. There are some trees and bamboos growing very haphazardly in the yard. Some trees have grown into towering trees that require three people to hug each other, while others are only wrist-thick and can be broken in strong winds. As for the bamboo, near the corner of the wall, there are many bushes, which are verdant and lovely.

This quiet temple does not have the grandeur and solemnity of ordinary temples, but has a bit of elegance and quietness. Unfortunately, this elegance and tranquility were completely destroyed by the people who came and went.

Chu Shuyan is quite safe. After he introduced Mrs. Chu and others into Jingruo Temple, a novice came to lead the way.

The novice led the people to the hall of the Mahavira and served the incense with his own hands.

There are a lot of people who come to worship the Buddha on the same day, so there are only two futons left.

The people of Chu and Aunt Zhao knelt down first, bowed to the Buddha, said their wishes, and promised to repay. Then there are the ladies, two by two. Chu Xianglin didn't want to be with Chu Yueli, so he pulled Chu Zhaoyue to worship together. When it was Chu Yueli and Chu Man'er's turn, Chu Man'er muttered a lot, but Chu Yueli just bowed and didn't say anything.

After worshipping, Chu Man'er pulled Chu Yueli and asked curiously, "Third sister, what did you say to the Buddha?" ”

Chu Yueli said: "I saw that the Buddha Lord was too busy today, and he shouldn't have time to listen to my chatter, so he kept his mouth shut." ”

Chu Man'er stomped her feet and said, "It's hard to come here, why don't you ask for marriage?" After speaking, his face was red and shy.

At this time, a monk came with a bamboo tube in his hand to sign a hexagram, paused slightly, and said to Chu Man'er: "This donor, do you want to draw lots to ask about marriage?" ”

Chu Man'er blushed, turned his head and said, "Who wants to ask that!" ”

Mrs. Chu scolded: "Don't be unreasonable to the master. ”

The monk said: "The little donor is pure and good-natured, and the lady must not blame." ”

Chu Man'er looked at the monk nervously and said, "That...... Then I'll draw a lot. ”

The monk said: "Today's opportunity is over, and Miss can smoke tomorrow." ”

Chu Man'er was stunned and said, "This ...... Is this the end of the day? ”

The monk smiled incomprehensibly: "Exactly." Fate and extinction arise, and everything follows fate. Today, there is only one fate sign left. ”

Chu Man'er immediately said: "Then give my third sister a smoke, she is the oldest." Chu Man'er pushed Chu Yueli out without hesitation, making Chu Xianglin, who had the heart to draw lots but was afraid that he wouldn't be able to draw a good lot, upset.

The monk said: "It seems that this donor is the last person who signed the hexagram." "Send out the bamboo stick," the donor sincerely kneels down to worship the Buddha, and shakes one out. ”
