When I went back, the Buddha bathing ceremony had ended, and Mrs. Changxing Hou and the two wives of the Zhuo family rested in the dormitory. Lin was very annoyed because Zhuo Ruoning ran around and did not receive the Buddha washing water, and when he saw Zhuo Xiao find her back, he was about to reprimand a few words, but he saw her red and swollen eyes at a glance.

"Niannian, what's wrong?"

Mrs. Changxinghou was also startled, pulled her to her side to check, and suddenly found a bruise on her neck.

"Niannian, who got this?"

Zhuo Ruoning shook his head, "I fell by myself." ”

"Nonsense, it's also a fall if your eyes are red like this?" Lin was furious.

"It hurts a lot, and I'm crying."

Lin was so angry that she fell down, her daughter had been close to her since she was a child, and the mother and daughter had nothing to say, but they were hurt and made up lies to deceive her. She didn't have a seizure in public, and while blaming her for being careless, she pulled her down distressedly and asked the girl to bring the bone-setting medicine she carried with her.

Everyone could see that the injury was pinched, Mrs. Changxinghou raised her eyes to look at Geng Kan, and Geng Kan shook her head quietly.

The second wife and Zhuo Xiao glanced at each other, although they had doubts in their hearts, but it was inconvenient to ask in detail here, and said to Lin: "Miss this child's delicate, thin skin and tender meat, bumps and bumps are easy to show scars, sister-in-law, don't be nervous." ”

"Alas, she doesn't know what's wrong this year, there are many disasters, and my heart is always in my throat."

Mrs. Changxing Hou said with a smile: "It happens to be in the temple, Awan, you take the child to worship in front of the Bodhisattva and ask for peace." ”

The second wife said, "Let's go together, the children will go." Brother Xiao participated in the Autumn Festival in August this year and went to make a wish in front of the Bodhisattva. In the barracks, General Xiao Geng often wielded knives and guns, and asked the Bodhisattva to take care of them. ”

Mrs. Changxing asked the housekeeper to arrange it, and after a while, everyone came to the main hall, and the old mage was waiting on the side.

Everyone knelt down on the futon, praying silently, only Zhuo Ruoning did not understand the rules of burning incense and worshiping the Buddha, she did the same, folded her hands and bowed three times, and after worshipping, she didn't know what else to do, and looked at this and that blankly.

Seeing this, the old master greeted him kindly: "The female donor has a relationship with Buddhism, so she came to draw lots." ”

Zhuo Ruoning took the lottery holder and asked him, "How to draw?" ”

Lin: "Thinking about the things you want, shake the lotter." ”

Zhuo Ruoning silently recited: "Bodhisattva, let me quickly find all the energy fragments and go home smoothly." ”

Shake the stick holder vigorously in her hand, drop a sign, and before anyone reacts, she picked up the stick and put it back in the holder, and continued to shake, her mouth was broken: "This one is not good, change to a good one." ”

Lin's breath was suffocated, and it was not good to say her in front of everyone, so he just stared.

The old monk had never seen such an ignorant person, and said to her: "Female donor, you can't put it back if you draw it, it's the Bodhisattva's intention to do it or not." ”

"Uh-huh, got it, I'll smoke it again."

This time, she was too cautious, and she didn't shake it out for a long time, and Lin couldn't stand it anymore, so she taught her: "You have to pray sincerely, so that the Bodhisattva can hear your wishes." ”

Zhuo Ruoning asked, "What do you say?" ”

Zhuo Ruoling waited anxiously on the side: "Naturally, I said good things, so that the Bodhisattva was happy to hear it, and he was willing to help you fulfill your wishes." ”

Zhuo Ruoning understood, "Bodhisattva, I wish you a prosperous incense and a wide range of wealth. ”

Lin: "......"

Everyone: "......"

Lin leaned into her ear, gritted his teeth and said, "You have to make a wish, ask the Bodhisattva to bless you, and if your wish is fulfilled, you will come to add sesame oil money to repay your wish...... Heck, I'm not saying that I came when my wish was fulfilled, so apologize quickly. ”

Zhuo Ruoning thought to herself, her mother was too utilitarian, so she held the sign holder and bowed again: "Bodhisattva, please forgive my mother for being a sinner." ”

Lin tried hard to warn herself to be calm and not to scold the child in front of the Bodhisattva, she bowed to the back of Zhuo Ruoning's neck, and said: "The child's words are unscrupulous, the child is not sensible, please forgive the Bodhisattva......"

After untying the sign, he went to the meditation room, Zhuo Ruoling took a step behind, poked Zhuo Ruoning and said, "I saw Sister Li'er going to the back mountain." ”

Zhuo Ruoning: "What's there?" ”

Zhuo Ruoling: "Just take a look." ”

The two walked along the alleyway in the middle of the building, and unconsciously came to a small platform near the pond at the foot of the back mountain.

There were two people standing face to face on the platform, it was Geng Kan and Zhuo Ruozhen.

The heroic young men in military uniforms are full of spirit, the gentle and shy girls stand by the water, and the breeze brings the fragrance of plants and trees, blowing their clothes and hair, this picture is particularly beautiful.

Zhuo Ruoling pulled her behind the rocks and whispered, "Don't make a sound, listen to what they are saying." ”

Zhuo Ruoning participated in this kind of eavesdropping operation for the first time, and felt nervous and excited, but her upbringing told her that it was not right to do so: "It's not good, the fourth sister will be angry if she knows it." ”

Zhuo Ruoling looked at the monster: "Geng Kan is your fiancé, don't you think it's strange that he and Sister Li'er met alone behind their backs?" ”

"yes, why did they meet?"

Zhuo Ruoling stretched out his finger and made a silent motion on the side of his mouth.

“…… It's not suitable, it should be given to Niannian. This is Zhuo Ruozhen's voice.

Geng Kan: "Nian Nian and I have not gotten along since we were children, and we have already proposed to divorce, you know." ”

Zhuo Ruozhen was silent for a while and said: "No matter how bad Niannian is, it's also my sister, what do you want me to say?" ”

Geng Kan hurriedly said: "You still don't understand my thoughts? ”

"I don't know, and I can't understand." Zhuo Ruozhen's voice trembled slightly.

When Zhuo Ruoning heard this, she already understood the relationship between the two, she went out to look, and saw that Geng Kan was anxious and stretched out her hand to pull Zhuo Ruoyao, but she took two steps back nervously and always kept a certain distance.

"Nian Nian is my sister, before you officially dissolve the marriage, you are my future brother-in-law, no matter what you think, please take it back, I can't afford it."

Geng Kan was a little anxious: "Where is the smart and reasonable fourth girl before, could it be that what happened in the past two years made you so cautious?" ”

Zhuo Ruozhen looked at the water lonely: "It's because we have grown up, how can we still laugh and play as freely as when we were children." ”

"Okay," Geng Kan sighed, "You're right, after I officially dissolve the marriage contract with Nian Nian, it's more appropriate to see you again, it's me who is abrupt." He bowed his head and took a deep look.

Zhuo Ruoling immediately leaned into her sister's ear and said, "She's instigating Geng Kan to withdraw from the marriage." ”

The two of them huddled behind the small rocks, Zhuo Ruoling was two years older than her, a head taller, her hands were on her shoulders, and the warm breath was tickling in her ears.

Zhuo Ruoning rubbed his ears and said disapprerovingly: "It's just right to retreat, so that everyone won't come to rob it." ”

"You're not angry?"

"Don't be angry, they obviously like each other, it's better to fulfill your own sister than to cheapen others."

Zhuo Ruoling poked her head with hatred: "It's useless, are you afraid of her?" ”

"I'm not afraid, she's a sister, anyway, I don't want Geng Kan, so why not give it to her? If the third sister likes it, I will also be successful. ”

Zhuo Ruoling was so choked that she couldn't speak, pulled her clothes and said, "Then let's go, what else are you looking at?" ”

"Wait." Zhuo Ruoning waved his hand, his eyes staring at a palm-sized crystal ornament held in Geng Kan's hand, which should have been intended to be given to Zhuo Ruojian, but was refused.

"If you don't leave, you'll be discovered by Sister Li'er."

Zhuo Ruoling forcibly pulled her away, and the two hid behind a large incense burner, and after a while, they saw Zhuo Ruoling running out of the place where they were standing.

"Third sister, I want that ornament, how much do you say it's worth?"

Zhuo Ruoling thought she had heard it wrong: "What do you want that thing to do?" It's just a broken stone, besides, what Sister Li'er doesn't want, you go to ask for it, isn't it a shame? ”

"It's quartz ore, which can be processed into lenses." Zhuo Ruoning thought for a while and said to her, "You go back first, I'll ask Geng Kan if you can sell it to me." ”

Zhuo Ruoling didn't have time to pull her, and the person had already run away.

Over there, Geng Kan was facing a pool of water hurting the spring and autumn, but he didn't expect Zhuo Ruoning to suddenly appear, he was startled, and asked defensively: "How long have you been here?" ”

Zhuo Ruoning crossed her arms to her chest and said proudly: "It's been a while, and I watched a play." ”

Geng Kan's face sank, his brows furrowed, and he said seriously: "What do you want?" ”

"You sell this to me, and I'll help you chase the fourth sister, how about it?" Zhuo Ruoning pointed to the crystal ornament in his hand and asked.

Geng Kan looked at her suspiciously, the girl in front of her had bright eyes, smart eyes, and a bright and cheerful smile, not at all like the original paranoid and suspicious Zhuo Ruoning.

"You help me chase the fourth girl? Do you have such a good heart? ”

Zhuo Ruoning: "I want this quartz mine, if I help you, you can sell it to me." ”

Geng Kan couldn't accept her transformation, so naturally he wouldn't believe her words.

"If you want, give it to you, but you have to promise, you should not see today's events, and you are not allowed to trouble the four girls."

Zhuo Ruoning shook her head disdainfully: "I can't tell you anything after taking your things for nothing, it's fairer to clear the money and goods." ”

The turquoise water reflected the sunlight and fell on the girl's eyes, lining those black eyes like black jewels.

Geng Kan looked at her serious appearance, his guard was slightly lowered, and he raised his eyebrows: "If you really want to calculate, such a big spar is worth at least a thousand gold, since you are willing to help me, I will give you a half price, five hundred taels." ”

Zhuo Ruoning has no concept of the money here, but the quartz ore in his hand is very good, it is completely transparent, and when he looks closely, there are almost no clouds in it, which is a good material for polishing lenses, in this era, this kind of high-quality quartz ore is only afraid that it is difficult to see.

"Deal, but I don't have that much money now, I'll pay you back in the scoring period."

Geng Kan pushed the crystal ornament into her arms and said solemnly: "For the sake of Geng Zhuo's friendship between the two families for many years, I believe you once, don't cheat me." ”

Zhuo Ruoning held the crystal ornament, she thought about it, took off the gold bracelet on her hand and stuffed it to him, and said angrily: "Who cheated you!" This is used as collateral, and when I have enough money, I will ask you to redeem it. ”
