Chapter 41: Incense

He called all the maids and servants who usually served the second lady in the Cailing courtyard in the hall and asked them one by one. When asked about a little girl, her eyes dodged and she spoke a little nervously, so he left the little girl alone.

"You sent a letter to the second lady?" Master Qi asked bluntly, "Where did Tang Minghai live at that time?" How do you deliver the message? ”

"Sir! Forgive me! The little girl was so weak that she knelt down and begged for mercy, "It's not that I want to, the young lady said that she wouldn't send a letter for her, so she kicked me out, my parents are long gone, and the people in the courtyard here see that I am young and treat me very well, I don't want to be kicked out, so I agreed." Tang Minghai first lived in an inn near here, and later rented a house, at No. 2 Sanmin Lane. "I actually rented a house, it seems that I want to fight a protracted war, but I didn't expect to be so careless, and I didn't notice it at all.

"How did you deliver the letter?"

"In the past, I used to take advantage of the second lady to buy things, and went out from the corner door of the kitchen, and then I came and went to ask a lot, and the second lady inadvertently found that the fence was loose, so every time I got out from there, and then used bricks to build it from the outside after going out, and I couldn't see it if I didn't look carefully inside." The little girl replied.

Master Qi slapped the table, so angry that he couldn't speak. Qi Ying's personality has always been willful and reckless, and Yaochun is used to it, but now Yaochun is sick because of excessive sadness, so he eats the consequences, what can he say?

"Everything I said is true, everything I know has been said, so spare me. I don't want to be kicked out. "The little girl kowtows like pounding garlic.

"Alas......" Master Qi's emotions calmed down from his anger, and he sighed, "I can spare you once, you can't stay in the Cailing Courtyard any longer, clean up by yourself, and go to do chores." ”

"Thank you, sir." The little girl kowtowed and wiped her tears.

Master Qi sat at the table for a long time.

Mu Qing was very efficient, and immediately went to find Chief Zhang, who agreed and soon ordered martial law to arrest Tang Rong and Qi Ying throughout the city.

Wan Xinqiao's illness was cured after recuperation, and Jingru proposed to go to Xiuyuan Temple outside the city to repay a wish, and by the way, he would relax.

Zhilan doesn't want to go, she doesn't want to see anyone these days, and the relationship with Li Shaowen has fallen to the bottom, the two have been in a cold war, and no one is willing to compromise first.

Today's wish is a big thing for the Li family, according to the rules, the whole family has to go out, even if she doesn't want to bring Zhilan anymore, she has to do it. But she was still interested in her, and specially asked Li Shaowen to send an extra car. Zhilan sat in the car behind with Yancui, she felt that this was very good, and she didn't have to face to face with Wan Xinqiao and Jingru, which was embarrassing.

She looked out the window boredly, and the way out of the city was full of low mud bungalows, even thatched huts, and along the way there were many beggars who were unclothed, skinny and lifeless, and it was a world of difference from the bustling metropolis of the city. For the first time, Zhilan experienced the difficult living conditions of ordinary people, from surprise and sigh to sympathy, especially when passing by the village, seeing those thin children chasing cars, which caused her to feel a little sad.

The car was not going fast, stretching out in the mud, and there were some bumps from time to time, and suddenly she seemed to see a familiar figure in the distance, getting closer and closer......

When the car got closer, she finally saw clearly. It was really a pair of beautiful people, the man was handsome and handsome, the woman was sweet and incomprehensible, the man put his arm around the woman's waist, and didn't know what to say to her, the woman raised her hand and held it into a hammer, and shyly hammered him with a "fist".

Zhi Lan couldn't take her eyes off it, she couldn't be more familiar with these two people.

"Park, park."

It's a pity that the driver didn't listen to her and still drove forward.

"Grandma, forgive me for not being able to obey my fate, if I don't catch up with Madame's car, then Madame will only ask the villain, and the little one can't afford it. Please forgive me. The driver explained as he drove.

Zhilan was impatient, she desperately opened the car door, and bluffed Yancui to hug her. The door opened, the wind was very strong, blowing her long hair up and down, her dress fluttering, her hair hanging down, she tore open the knot that tied her hair and threw it aside, her face showed a resolute and resolute look, the driver couldn't help but be shocked, he had never seen such a young grandmother.

"If you don't stop, I'll jump!"

The driver was frightened, he was afraid that something would happen, and he pulled over and stopped.

Zhilan stood in front of the man and woman desperately.

"Tang Rong, long time no see. I ask you, why didn't you say goodbye back then? She had so many questions in her mind that she threw them out.

"This young lady, did you recognize the wrong person? I am Tang Minghai, not Tang Rong. Tang Rong deliberately pretended not to know her, in order to hide the past.

"Tang Rong, you don't have to run away, I came to you for nothing else, I just want you to give me a reasonable answer." Although Zhilan didn't start with him at all, she didn't ask clearly and was unwilling.

"Zhou Zhilan, you are already married, why are you still pestering my husband?" When Qi Ying heard that Zhilan's words were wrong, she couldn't help but feel a burst of jealousy in her heart, and she spoke politely.

"Second Miss of the Qi family, my business with him has nothing to do with you, I will definitely ask him to give me an explanation today, otherwise I will definitely be entangled to the end." Zhilan said firmly.

"You!" Qi Ying was so angry that she couldn't speak, and her face turned red.

As soon as Zhilan's car stopped, the convoy suffered from this change, and had to stop, hesitating.

Jingru noticed something was wrong, and hurriedly said to Wan Xinqiao: "Mother, look, that, it's causing trouble again, do you want me to go down and take a look?" "Ever since Wan Xin was sick, that has become synonymous with Zhilan.

"What a broomstick." Wan Xinqiao said upset, she looked back through the glass of the car.

Seeing that Tang Rong was leaving with Qi Ying, he was pulled by Zhilan, and in front of the public, he pulled and pulled men other than his husband, what is this like? What kind of system? Wan Xinqiao felt extremely embarrassed, and there was still some resentment in his heart.

Tang Rong didn't want to admit his identity, nor did he want to talk to Zhilan, and he didn't want her to be unrelenting, so he was heartbroken and said loudly: "Okay! Don't you want an answer? I'm telling you! Why didn't I say goodbye? That's because I can't stand your hints, I'm tired, so tired that I want to run away. Here's the answer. ”

"Really?" Tang Rong's words completely shattered all the illusions of her first love in her youth, and Zhi Lan felt unworthy for herself.

"Miss Zhou, why do you ask, if you keep it in your heart, you can still keep a thought, do you think you have to entangle to get an answer, and you can't bring shame on yourself?" Hearing Tang Rong's words, Qi Ying was completely relieved, and her sympathetic tone sounded sarcastic to Zhilan.

"Yo, sister-in-law, you are meeting with old people, why are you so excited to talk about? Mom over there is in a hurry. Jing Ruting walked over and said with a smile.

When she saw that the other party was Qi Ying, she deliberately took Zhilan's hand affectionately, and Zhilan broke free uncomfortably.

Jingru preemptively said: "I'm sorry, Miss Qi Er, my sister-in-law hasn't been in a good mood lately, don't care too much about what crazy things she says." ”

Zhilan glared at Jingru angrily, at this moment she felt that life was boring, her first love was like a joke to her, she was excluded from love, marriage was more like a farce, and she also gained a mother-in-law who hated her, a sister who did not agree with her face and heart.

She let go of the hand that was holding the corner of Tang Rong's clothes and said, "It's me who lost my temper, Tang Rong, I understand what you mean, I wish you and Miss Qi Er happiness and happiness." ”

When she returned to the car again, her heart calmed down, and the moment the car started, she realized that no matter what answer Tang Rong gave, it was her real relief. She sighed lightly, and the appearance of Jingru showed that Wan Xinqiao must have witnessed this scene, and the later Guan was even more sad, but she was not afraid.

The car arrived at the mountain gate of Xiuyuan Temple, Zhilan Fang settled in the meditation room, and the housekeeper Fu came to report that the lady ordered that the grandmother insulted the family because of the eldest young grandmother, and this time the incense was advanced by the second young grandmother.

Zhilan didn't care, and took a copy of the Diamond Sutra interpretation on the bookshelf in the meditation room and read it.

After a while, Yancui walked in from outside and said to her: "Miss, I overheard Shuanghua quietly begging the housekeeper outside, saying that she wanted to ask Mrs. to transfer her to the second young grandmother to serve, listen to her, Jingxiang is generally done by the young grandmother who is in charge of the house, and she now sees that you are not favored, and she is also planning to find a way out for herself." ”

"Let her go." Zhilan thought for a while when she heard this, and added, "You go and call Steward Fu in." ”

"Grandma, are you looking for me?"

"Steward Fu, if Shuanghua says anything to you, please fulfill her wishes, it can be regarded as her serving by my side."

Steward Fu was surprised when he heard this, he went to the Li family, no one had seen him, nothing had happened, Shuanghua wanted to leave the eldest young grandmother, and any master knew that it was not a reprimand, and a punishment, like Zhilan It was the first time.

"Grandma, as soon as Shuanghua leaves, there are not enough people in your courtyard to serve, do you want to send another person?"

"No need." Zhilan refused.

Shuanghua's departure made people talk about the young grandmother. In terms of word-of-mouth, the grandmother is good, but unfortunately she is not favored, and everyone looks at her with sympathy. She didn't care, as the most unfavored one about incense, she gained a certain degree of freedom.

Growing so big, Xiuyuan Temple is the first time she came, Yancui helped her up the stairs, in front of the majestic Daxiong Treasure Hall, the two majestic Buddhas are divided left and right, and the tall Shakyamuni Buddha in the middle is a kind eyebrow.

There was an old monk standing next to him, concentrating on chanting and knocking on the wooden fish, Zhilan worshiped the Buddha and gave some incense money, the old monk looked at her quietly, and casually recited a verse:

"Half a life is bumpy and half idle, I am afraid that there will be smoke and clouds and half fascination.

If you ask where the way back is, the West is blissful and hateful. ”

Zhilan listened and was very puzzled, Yancui was curious and wanted to ask a few more words, and the old monk recited Amitabha Buddha and walked away.

Yancui was unhappy in her heart, and muttered: "This old monk is so big." ”

Zhilan smiled at her: "Let's go." ”
