Chapter 200: The Lighthouse

According to Xi Rou's previous statement, Mrs. Xi thought that her persuasion this time would take a lot of effort, and she might not be able to get Xi Rou's consent. Who knew that when she arrived at Xi Rou's courtyard, she had just opened her mouth to talk about moving, and Xi Rou immediately agreed.

agreed so quickly, but it made Mrs. Xi uneasy.

She hesitated for a moment and asked Xi Rou, "Why did you agree directly...... Did someone chew the root of your tongue in front of you, or did someone from the Wen family say something to you? ”

If it weren't for someone talking behind her back, with Xi Rou's closeness to the Wen family, how could she agree to the move without saying a word.

Comparing the Wen family with their own daughters, although their mother and daughter are taken care of by the Wen family, their daughters are more important than their benefactors.

What's more, a place to shelter from the wind and rain, when they live temporarily, they still endure the pain under the fence all the time, the Wen family attaches great importance to their mother and daughter on the surface, but in fact, where is the treatment of Xi Rou and the several girls of the Wen family, the words of the Wen family are just deceiving outsiders.

People are always like that.

Once you are in power, the first thing you do is to find fault with other people's mistakes, completely ignoring the kindness of the past.

Mrs. Xi is like this, and so is Xi Rou.

Xi Rou was stunned, she could hear the meaning of Mrs. Xi's words, but she was not ready to explain for the Wen family.

A ship that is destined to sink, she is not ready to help others fall into the well, she is already concerned about the past feelings, who can ask her to do more!

She said softly: "My mother is older than me, and I must be more thoughtful than I am, the last time my mother said to move, I actually had a little bit of intention, but thinking about us two weak women, there is not even a guard around, if you really want to move out to live, it must be dangerous." ”

Speaking of this, Xi Rou stopped and smiled at Mrs. Xi, with a little show-off in her tone: "Two days ago, when I went out with Wen Fu and Wen Rong as guests, I met Mrs. Duan, and she said that Yu Zhi specially asked Master Duan for a guard, and wanted someone to protect us!" ”

The scattered people hired from outside who don't know the roots are definitely not as good as the guards trained by the Duan family.

When Xi Rou first heard Mrs. Duan talk about the guards, she was still very puzzled, after all, neither she nor Mrs. Xi had the habit of talking about their own affairs outside, and they didn't know how the news of their move got out. However, after Mrs. Xi talked about Duan Yuzhi's concern for her, the slightest doubts that had surfaced in her heart before disappeared in an instant.

Mrs. Xi was still frowning, wanting to ask Mrs. Duan's original words, even if Xi Rou of their family wanted to marry into the Duan family, but now she hadn't married yet, Duan Yuzhi begged his father with a blank eye, and asked Mrs. Duan to help be a lobbyist, isn't it possible not to worry about the future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!

However, many of her worries finally dissipated in Xi's soft and glutinous smile.

Okay, let Arou relax for two more days, and when she is done with the move, she will come and talk to her about getting along with her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!

And it seems that Duan Yuzhi is extremely satisfied with their family's Arou, otherwise he would not take the initiative to send the guards, although there is a slight mistake in his actions, but his intentions are good.

The mind only turned for a moment, and Mrs. Xi quickly reacted, and said to Xi Rou: "I originally wanted to borrow some people from the Wen family, but now if the Duan family is ready to help, then it doesn't bother the two masters, so I won't ask my cousin." ”

Xi Rou smiled and nodded.

Although the Wen family's ship has not yet sunk, there is nothing wrong with jumping ship as soon as possible, and it will save too much entanglement in the future.

……

When Ah Mu Xiu came back, he got the news that the Xi family's mother and daughter had moved out of Wen Mansion.

This made her couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, this kind of thing had never happened in Wen Rugu's memory.

Xi Rou has obviously been living in the Wen Mansion, and because of the false rumors released by her and Duan Yuzhi, the Wen family who believed that it was true was full of guilt towards Xi Rou, and she later married from the Wen Mansion, and she enjoyed more than the Wen family's daughters-in-law.

The time of Ah Yu's bath this time happened to coincide with the Qingming Festival, so the number of days he could stay at home was also more.

The day before the Qingming Festival, she received an invitation from Mrs. Duan, inviting her to go out to burn incense and worship the Buddha on the day of the Qingming Festival.

Although Mrs. Duan had severed her relationship with Mrs. Wen before, the friendship between her and Mrs. Wen had never changed, and Mrs. Wen had spent a long time trying to persuade Mrs. Duan to stop the loss in time, although the final persuasion was completely ineffective, but after Mrs. Wen returned from the Duan Mansion, she also called Mrs. Wen over and asked her to treat Mrs. Duan well in the future.

She got Mrs. Duan's invitation, and Mrs. Wen San also knew the news, and specially sent Mama Liu beside her to tell Ah Shen, still the words that she often said in the past, all of them were to let Ah Yu listen to Mrs. Duan's words more, and it was best to comfort Mrs. Duan a few more words.

Ah Yu sometimes really thinks it's weird.

Whether it is in her or in Wen Ru's memory, Mrs. Wen's treatment of Mrs. Duan can be said to be heart-to-heart, and there is no more conscientious close friend than her.

However, the reward given by Mrs. Duan is very indescribable.

Not only did she ignore Ah Yu later, but she didn't come to visit Mrs. Wen when she was seriously ill. When Mrs. Wen San died, she didn't even go to Mrs. Wen's mourning hall to offer incense, and she disappeared without a trace, as if there was no such person as her in the world.

So much so that Ah Yu's impression of her is not very good.

However, after the last meeting in the courtyard, Ah Yu suddenly felt that Mrs. Duan might have a hard time, although she didn't know what the other party's hard work was.

But for the sake of her mother-in-law, she thought that being friendly to Mrs. Duan was not something that she couldn't do.

The next day, Ah Yu had breakfast in his small courtyard, and went unhurriedly to ask Mrs. Wen for a good night, so he slowly got into the carriage that had been prepared long ago and went to Qingquan Temple.

At this time, Ah Yu didn't know that she was about to learn a bombshell news, and this news was widely implicated, and she could repeat the same mistakes as Wen Ru if she was not careful.

She didn't know anything, so she would be in the mood to discuss with Aoba, and wanted to find a time to sit in the Welcome Building, she heard that the Welcome Building had recently come out with new dishes, and the dishes made by the chefs in the academy and the other courtyard were all flavors she was used to, and after a long time, she wanted to change the taste.

In fact, where Ah Yu wants to eat, she can come according to her own ideas, and no one will stop her.

It's just that she always has a lot of things in her heart, which makes her feel relaxed all the time, and now she has such an idea, which is entirely because she is about to turn sixteen years old, and many things are about to come to the day when the dust settles.

When the carriage arrived at Qingquan Temple, it was already the middle of the day, and Mrs. Duan had already arrived in the temple.

Ah Yu just walked out of the carriage, waiting at the door of the temple Lan Yin had already rushed up with great interest, she was still holding a wooden mask in her hand, at a glance she knew that she was in the process of waiting, because it was too boring, so she took off the mask and played with it.

Aoba didn't see Lan Yin's appearance clearly at first, she only saw a blue shadow rushing over at a very fast speed, and hurriedly blocked in front of Ah Yu, for fear that the people who rushed over would hurt Ah Yu.

Lan Yin stopped two or three steps away from Aoba.

She nodded with satisfaction, not only did she not get angry because of Aoba's defensive actions, but she also felt that the other party had done the right thing.

"This maid next to you is not bad," Lan Yin's voice was as ugly as ever, and with her half-disfigured face, it added a bit of horror, "Madame is already waiting for you in the Lantern Tower, since you have arrived, then go and find Madame!" ”

She's not out of sight.

Ah Yu didn't think too much about it, she asked Lan Yin to lead the way directly in front.

Qingquan Temple is not a famous temple, only the Wen family knows this temple, as well as the name of the village under the mountain, and even Mrs. Duan heard about this temple from Mrs. Wen because of a coincidence. Naturally, the temples that are not famous will not be built extraordinarily large, but the roads in the small temples are also winding and winding, at least it is difficult for Ah Yu to figure out where the end of each road should correspond.

Someone led the way, so that she would not take the wrong path and run elsewhere.

The light tower in the temple is slightly higher than other buildings, and there is a large three-story banyan tree planted next to it, blocking the light from the west side of the light tower. This lantern tower is used to worship the ever-bright lantern, and most of the ever-bright lanterns enshrined in it are from the hands of the Wen family, and a few are worshiped by the villagers under the mountain.

Mrs. Duan also enshrined a lotus-shaped lantern here, which was in the corner of the lantern tower.

Ah Yu entered the light tower, and saw Mrs. Duan kneeling on the futon, holding the small leaf red sandalwood Buddha beads in her hand.

She looked at Mrs. Duan's pious appearance, thought about it, and did not step forward to disturb Mrs. Duan, but knelt down on the empty futon next to her.

After a long time, Mrs. Duan seemed to realize that there was an extra person next to her.

The movement of her hand did not stop, and only whispered, "You are here." ”

Ah Yu nodded at first, and then thought that Mrs. Duan didn't look at her at all, so she said yes again.

After Mrs. Duan read another part of her past life, she got up from the futon and looked back at Ah Yu on the side.

She said, "Have you seen the lotus lantern at this station?" ”

Ah Yu looked in the direction of her finger, it was a small and delicate lantern, the carving was meticulous, and it took a lot of thought to look at it. Her eyes have always been good, and she can see not only the carving of the lotus lamp, but also the name carved on the lamp base.

"Jinyao ......" She subconsciously read the name she saw, it was a rather unfamiliar name, she had never heard anyone mention it before.

Mrs. Duan also read twice before she spoke: "The Wen family, whether it is a man or a woman, has a fixed ranking, and the Duan family is different. The girls of the Duan family are not included in the family tree, and even the names are very arbitrary, it seems that the traces of their existence are so-and-so girls, if they are married, they will be given the surname of their husbands, and they will be called Mrs. So-and-so......"

"But my daughter is also my biological flesh and blood who was conceived and born in October, other people can ignore her because of the rules that the Duan Mansion is used to, but I can't do that, I have to treat her better, in order to make up for the Duan family's debt to her."

Master Duan personally named his son Yuzhi, she thought about holding Jin Huaiyu, so she named her daughter Jin Yao, thinking that the brother and sister should have a neat name.

It's a pity that she wants a little girl who is spoiled, and she abandoned her without seeing the change of seasons a few times in the world, and never looked back.

Ah Yu listened carefully to Mrs. Duan's words.

If someone wants to say what is in front of her, then she just listens, anyway, Mrs. Duan doesn't seem to need her to reply.

Just as Ah Yu was about to silence is gold, Mrs. Duan suddenly spoke.

She said, "Ah, do you remember what I told you last time? ”

The last time I saw Mrs. Duan, it probably had to be traced back to Mrs. Duan's birthday banquet a few months ago.

Ah Yu nodded cautiously, a little afraid that it would provoke Mrs. Duan at this moment: "You asked me to remember the everlasting lantern in Qingquan Temple, and I will come over to worship the lamp oil during the New Year's Festival, I remember." Not only did she remember, but she also seriously put it into action.

On the third day of March before, Ah Yu also specially brought someone over to add oil to the lotus lamp.

But at that time, she was only thinking about adding oil, remembering the general appearance of the lotus lantern, but she did not carefully observe the traces on it.

Mrs. Duan smiled with satisfaction: "You are a good boy." Apparently she already knew about Ah Yu's addition of oil to the lotus lamp.

"A good boy should be happy with everything." I don't know what Mrs. Duan thought, obviously the look on her face was already a little hideous, but her tone when she spoke was still soft.

Ah Yu could see the death of everyone in front of her, and she couldn't distinguish the many changes in Mrs. Duan's expression, so she just knelt on the futon obediently and listened to Mrs. Duan's words.

"When I said that my life was short, I wasn't deceiving, but it was true."

Mrs. Duan stared at the lotus lantern in front of her, and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes: "After you go home today, remember to remind your parents and brother that if the people around you have two hearts, although they can't see anything on the surface, the actual impact is not something that ordinary people can bear." Illness comes from the mouth, and this kind of words handed down by the ancestors must be firmly remembered. ”

How did you talk about this in a good way?

Ah Yu paused, and suddenly an idea appeared in his mind that had not been fully formed.

"Do you mean that someone is going to hurt my mom and dad and my brother? But my father is just a petty official, although my mother became the gentleman of the White Horse Academy, but she only teaches chess, and they are not the kind of people who will cause trouble, not to mention that there is no place to cause trouble for them, and my brother, he stays in the academy all day long, it is impossible to make enemies with people at all, how can anyone want to hurt them? ”

She suddenly felt a pain in her heart, Mrs. Duan could say these words, it was because she heard some gossip in the Duan Mansion.

And the people of the Duan family were already preparing to deal with the Wen family so early!
