Chapter 11: Vows
The next day, Li Jiong, who hadn't slept for two years, lay in bed until lunchtime. Mrs. Li carried a feather duster into the house, and there were a few screams in the room, and Mingzhu in the courtyard smiled and bent over.
When Li Ji came out of the house covering his ears that were red by his mother, Mingzhu was teasing Li Chi who she was holding in her arms with a small snack, and when she heard the voice and looked up at him, the little girl's eyes still had a gentle smile. Li Wei scratched his head, walked to the pavilion and sat down, reached out and pinched a piece of lotus leaf cake and stuffed it in his mouth, not caring at all about his brother's dissatisfaction.
"Why are you here so early today?" Li Wei swallowed the pastry in his mouth and asked such a sentence.
Mingzhu pinched Li Chi's pouting mouth that seemed to be able to hang an oil pot, raised her eyes to look at Li Ji, who was sitting opposite, opened her mouth, and was about to answer, but her voice was covered by Mrs. Li's angry voice: "It's still early?" Don't look at what time it is! Mrs. Li stood at the door of the room and pointed to the sundial in the middle of the courtyard, "This thing is just an ornament in your courtyard, isn't it?!" Looking at that posture, there was a feeling that Li Jiong would lift the sundial and slap him in the face after saying one more word.
Li Wei shrunk his neck, and smiled at Mrs. Li quite flatteringly: "Mother, give me some face, you see..." His eyes drifted to Mingzhu, who was sitting on the side and dangling his little feet. Mrs. Li glared at her, walked over and picked up Li Chi with one hand, and smiled affectionately at Mingzhu: "Xiao Zhu'er, let's go, let's eat, I know that you came and I asked the kitchen to stew osmanthus lotus seed soup." The intimate attitude and the treatment of Li Wei are two extremes, as if Mingzhu is her biological child.
Mingzhu obediently responded, jumped down from the stone bench, and jumped up and down to follow Mrs. Li's side, Mrs. Li bowed her head and talked and laughed with the little girl, Li Wei touched her nose, and deeply felt that she was the one who was abandoned. Just thinking about it, Li Chi, who was lying on Mrs. Li's shoulder, made a grimace at him, he smiled, walked up and followed, and rubbed Li Chi's head.
After lunch, the yawning pearl was driven to rest by Mrs. Li, the Li Mansion has a special yard for the little girl, Mrs. Li looked at the back of the little girl who jumped away from the pearl and sighed, and turned her eyes to her two sons when they turned to a look of disgust, how good it would be to give birth to a daughter, soft and soft, dress up and look good, and it is comfortable to hold. Thinking like this, the eyes of his cub are even more disgusting.
Li Wei observed the words, leaned on the table and tilted his head to look at his mother-in-law with unpredictable expressions: "Mother, do you like it?" ”
Mrs. Li glanced at him, he laughed, and his eyebrows were full of anticipation: "Mother, if you really like it, I will marry you my son?" ”
"Go, go," Mrs. Li scolded him with a smile, "It's only thirteen..."
"Oh, thirteen." Mrs. Li shook her head, "It's still small," sighed for a long time, but in a blink of an eye, she saw Li Wei smiling like a hanger, and suddenly on a whim, she stabbed Li Wei who was lying on the table like a bone with her elbow, and asked: "Hey, stinky boy, how long have you been beating someone's little girl?" ”
"It won't be long." Li Wei squinted, raised his hand and touched his chest, where there was still a peace charm.
"It's not long," Mrs. Li looked at him with a gossip on her face, "there should be a time." ”
"Probably... Hmm, I want to think about it," Li Wei scratched his head, "When you were eight years old? ”
As soon as the words fell, she was slapped by her own mother, and Mrs. Li raised her eyebrows: "The little cub can bear it, you, the little girl has been thinking about it since she was less than three years old?!" "The angry look seems as if the little girl who is being remembered is actually from her family." But it's no wonder," Mrs. Li seemed to suddenly remember something, and suddenly looked Li Wei up and down, "Tsk, it's really..." Mrs. Li shook her head and walked out, leaving Li Wei sitting in the flower hall with an inexplicable face, with a question mark on her head.
After Mingzhu got up from the lunch break, she changed into a riding outfit, and her white little face looked particularly energetic with a blue outfit. She urged Li Wei to change his clothes and lead the horse out, and the two rode through the city.
After leaving the city gate, Mingzhu raised his eyebrows at Li Jiong: "Horse racing?" ”
Li Wei laughed, and the son-in-law of Jiao'er Langdang was full of aura: "I haven't seen you for two years, who gave you the courage?" ”
The two horses galloped towards the north of the city towards Wenshan, one red and one white, Yu Wang, who was waiting to go up the mountain, heard the girl's crisp laughter, and looked up as if he had a feeling, the fiery red horse went away, Li Wei pulled the reins, the speed of the white horse slowed down a little, and he arched his hand towards Feng Yu, and then hit the horse away, but it was already a step slower, and the figure of the little girl had disappeared on the mountain.
Feng Yu shook his head, with a smile on his face: "It's good to be young." The person next to him looked at him strangely, opened his mouth, and swallowed the sentence "You solved your life's major events first and then sighed about this", well, this is outside, and you want to save face for your own prince.
The sun is just right, the plum blossoms in the north of the city are blooming in the Zangmei Temple in Wenshan, the abbot in the temple is kind and kind-eyed, and he trembles when he sees the long white eyebrows of Mingzhu who jumped off the horse, and he shows a look of relief after seeing Li Jiong, who is coming closely. The old abbot folded his palms and recited a word of Amitabha Buddha to the two people who were tied to the horses, and then turned around and walked away, his steps were much faster than usual, and he felt like he was running away, and Mingzhu shouted a few times "Old Monk" but couldn't make him stop.
In the Buddhist hall, the fragrance was thick, and Mingzhu smiled and pulled Li Wei to kneel down and said that he wanted to thank the Buddha for the peace charm. Li Wei wanted to say that it was not the credit of the peace charm that he was able to come back completely and peacefully, but he remembered that the rune was warm and cold, and the rune on it was not from the monks' handwriting. Li Wei looked at Mingzhu with a smile between his eyebrows and eyes, and thought, just let her be.
When Li Wei kowtowed, he had an extremely playful thought, and the owner of the golden body on the Daxiong Treasure Hall had received such a few kowtows, and he didn't know if he would be uneasy in his heart. After the so-called vow ceremony, Li Wei looked up at the Buddha with a golden body on the seat, the golden Buddha statue with kind eyebrows and kind eyes and compassion for others, as if he had seen through the suffering of the world, and everything in the world could not escape his eyes.
Li Wei sneered, looking at Mingzhu who got up next to him, his eyes were full of gentle emotions, and he didn't know if the little girl understood that she was begging a person who had become a spirit to bless a humane thing that was not in the six realms.
