Chapter 147: Pei surname
Most of the time it's on a first-come, first-served basis.
It was because of the rain that Ah Yu was brought to the lobby by the monk of Zhike, and if someone would have a weak heart, it should be right, not the person standing at the door.
But he looked very weak-hearted.
He showed a dilemma back and forth at the door, looking left and right with a pair of eyes, but he didn't dare to look at Ah Yu.
If Ah Yu is older, or looks more mature, he can still push his actions to the defense of men and women, but now Ah Yu is just a little yellow-haired girl, although these days are more mature than in the past, but the overall look is still a little childish, and the person who came in from the door has begun to grow a beard, looking at the age of the same generation as Ah Yu's father, obviously a martial artist who is not so big and three coarse, but his words and deeds are full of small family spirit.
People who don't know still think that Ah Yu is wrong with him!
The rain outside the house was still strong, and it didn't decrease for a while.
Ah Yu got up, saluted the people outside the door, and walked to the side, directly using actions to show his meaning.
There are four large pillars of red lacquer standing in the lobby, and the scroll is packed in a vermilion cloth bag, placed next to the pillars of red lacquer, and the two colors are very similar, and it is really difficult to notice if you don't look closely.
The man shrank into the lobby, and when he walked past Ah Yu, the corners of his clothes inadvertently crossed the hem of Ah Yu's skirt, which made Ah Shen frown.
There were no other things in the room except for the tables and chairs on both sides, and she stood aside again, according to the man's timid appearance, he should not have passed by Ah Yu, let alone touched Ah Yu's skirt.
Unless, his appearance on the outside is only a faΓ§ade.
The man walked to the red lacquer pillar, bent down and picked up the vermilion cloth bag leaning on the pillar, and put it in his arms without thinking about it, the cloth bag touched the top of his shirt, and he suddenly paused again, he was not alone in the room at this time, and the width of the scroll could not be directly stuffed into the sleeve pocket, let alone directly into the arms, if you really wanted to store it closely, it must be necessary to untie the wide clothes.
He turned his wrist and no longer tried to carry the cloth bag close to him, but held it directly in his arms.
"In Xia Peijiang, I wonder if this little girl can allow me to stay here for a while?" Pei Jiang looked at the rain outside the house, and unconsciously hugged the cloth bag in his arms tighter, he said, "The rain outside is a little too big." β
Indeed it is.
Standing some distance from the doorway, he could see that the rain outside the house was swept by the wind and swept a short distance under the eaves, falling on the front and back of the threshold.
She looked at Pei Jiang's cherished appearance of the cloth bag, thinking that if he went out at this moment, no matter how careful he was in his actions, with the current wind and rain, the cloth bag in his arms would also be wet, but things like picture scrolls were the most afraid of water and fire.
"Originally, Your Excellency came here first, and I am not the master of this place, where can I talk about tolerance or not?" Seeing that Pei Jiang picked up the cloth bag, Ah Yu was no longer as cowering as before, and when he looked at her, his eyes were like the elders looking at the juniors, his heart moved slightly, and he said: "Master Fang Cai said that this rain will not last long, and when the rain becomes smaller, I will leave, and I should not delay Your Excellency." β
She thought about what the monk said before, and the person named Pei Jiang in front of her seemed to be missing his deceased wife under the marriage tree, maybe he was startled by this sudden rain, which disturbed his state of mind of missing his wife, so that he would reveal those strange things before, and Ah Yu could also understand it.
Earlier, when Wen Rugu had a good relationship with Duan Yu, whenever she missed her father and brother, she would always unconsciously redden.
At that time, she was the most reluctant to see outsiders, even if it was Duan Yuzhi, she didn't want to see it.
Pei Jiang in front of him is probably the same!
Pei Jiang raised his head in astonishment, and when he saw a trace of extremely shallow sympathy in Ah Yu's eyes, he couldn't help but think of the words he had asked the monk to pass on.
The bitterness at the corner of his mouth was slightly thicker, but he didn't say anything else.
Seeing Pei Jiang holding the scroll in his arms, Ah Yu did not say a word, nor did he have the habit of stepping forward to talk to others.
She didn't like dealing with strangers in the first place.
All her thoughts were on the sky outside the house, always praying that the rain would decrease soon, she was really worried that Wen Yun would be in a hurry after finding out that she was not in the meditation room, and maybe she would go out in the rain to find someone. Her body didn't allow her to run back in the rain, but Wen Wan and the others were not iron-clad, and they would get sick if they went out in the rain.
After all, before she fell ill last winter, she had always been in good health and had never been seriously ill, so how could she have imagined that just a rain would have the consequences later!
Ah Yu is always indifferent to the gaze of others who stay on her, she is really difficult to find those invisible things, sometimes her intuition is a little more sensitive, maybe she can find it once in ten times, if even intuition is useless, then she really won't find anything.
So she looked out the window at the sky, but she didn't know that the people behind her were looking at her.
The rain was indeed as the monk said, and they just waited in the lobby for a while, and then they saw the scene of clouds and rain.
The sunlight is not so strong that it passes through the much thinner dark clouds, sprinkled on the rain-washed world, and the water droplets on the leaves still reflect the light of the sun, and the world in front of them seems to be much cleaner in the blink of an eye, which makes people unconsciously open their minds.
Ah Yu walked to the door, looked up and saw the rainbow in the distance, and couldn't help but say goodbye to Pei Jiang and the others in a cheerful tone, turned around and walked in the direction of the meditation room with Aoba.
Seeing the little girl's figure gradually drift away, when the figure completely disappeared from his sight, Pei Jiang subconsciously took two steps forward, and quickly restrained himself again, but did not catch up after him.
He looked down at the sack in his arms and chuckled.
The laughter was full of mockery.
The guards guarding the hidden places in the courtyard did not show a trace from beginning to end.
Pei Jiang's gaze swept from the place where they were hiding one by one, and after he glanced twice, he turned around and went to the other rooms in the courtyard, there were similar long cloth bags in the corners of each room, and there were not too many patterns on the cloth bags, and all the pictures stored in them were framed.
He took back the scrolls from each room and laid them out on the square table.
After staring at the cloth bag for a long time, Pei Jiang carefully opened the vermilion cloth bag on the top and took out the picture scroll inside.
Little by little, the scroll spreads out, revealing the appearance of the person in the painting.
If Ah Yu was still here, then she should be able to recognize the person in the portrait, who would not be able to distinguish her own appearance!
But she wasn't.
When I went out, I had the idea of going to see the marriage tree, but I hesitated for a while, and then I was stopped by a heavy rain. Although she did enter the courtyard where the marriage tree was located, when the rain was pouring down, where did she have the heart to pay attention to the marriage tree?
When she left, her mind fell on the rainbow in the sky, and she still didn't pay attention to the existence of the marriage tree.
When Ah Yu returned to the meditation room, he stepped into his small courtyard and saw Qingrui standing under the eaves.
Qingrui saw Ah Yu who came back with Aoba, and her face unconsciously showed a little overjoyed, and the few little girls standing beside her also looked relieved.
Ah Yu's heart was full of chuckles, and sure enough, she guessed it, and the eldest sister must be waiting for her explanation in the house now!
However, even if she had already guessed something, she was still a little weak-hearted, and she didn't think about how to tell her big sister.
It is a knife to stretch out the head left and right, and it is also a knife to shrink the head, and it is a big deal to break the jar and break it.
Ah Yu stood in the courtyard and gave himself a hint, and then walked towards the house with Aoba majestic and high-spirited.
In any case, the momentum cannot be lost.
When she really entered the door, the momentum that was originally pretended to be out suddenly leaked, and the whole person walked in cowardly, swaying in small steps, and looking at it was very empty.
This can't blame her, who would have thought that Wen Wan was far more than the one in her room at this time!
Mrs. Wen, Wen Yu, as well as Wen Qi and Wen Huan, it can be said that all the people who traveled this time gathered in this small meditation room where Ah Yu temporarily lived.
Or Wen Wan opened his mouth first: "When did Ah Yu's courage become so big, and he dared to run around in an unfamiliar place?" β
Outsiders don't know much, but who of them who is close to them doesn't know that little girls have always been unable to remember the way!
Ah Yu's eyes were very erratic, she also listened to Aoba's explanation of the marriage tree, and then ran out of the door on a whim, wanting to see the marriage tree, I thought I would be back soon, so I didn't go to greet Wen Wan and them, but then the sky was not beautiful, and there were some accidents. But it was all just an accident, not her intention.
Such an explanation cannot be spoken.
Wen Wan and the others will not put the blame on her because she is the one who made the decision.
Probably because when they look at their own family, they never feel that their own family is wrong, since their family has not done anything wrong, then there must be someone else who has done something wrong. Just like this time, they will not think that Ah Yu is at fault, but will only think that someone else has taken her to spoil, such as the green leaves of the marriage tree who mentioned to her, and the green stamen who knew that she was going out, but did not stop her.
Ah Yu couldn't tell the truth, so he could only come to a graft.
She told the words that Aoba heard Huibai say to a few people in the room, but she substituted herself into Aoba in and out of the words.
ββ¦β¦ That's it, I heard Huibai say that the marriage tree in Xianglan Temple blesses more than just marriage, so I plan to go and see it myself, if all the wishes can be realized, it would be good," Ah Yu couldn't help but sigh, she didn't expect the marriage tree to be able to bless herself, she just wanted to be able to bless her relatives, "I'm not greedy, I don't need any glory and wealth, as long as my family can be safe." The second half of the little girl's sentence was very soft, and the person sitting in the chair only barely listened to it.
There was a sudden silence in the room.
Wen Wan stood up, came to Ah Yu's side, took the little girl's hand, and led the person to the chair on the side.
When the little girl sat down on the chair obediently, she sighed and explained to her, "Ah Yu wants to see the ...... There is no problem with the marriage tree, but before Ah Yu goes out next time, you must also remember to talk to us, otherwise everyone will be very worried when they suddenly find out that they can't find Ah Yu. β
Ah Yu subconsciously turned her head to look at Wen Yu and the others who were sitting on the top, and she realized that the clothes on their bodies were actually wet, especially Wen Huan's hair, which was still dripping with water. When she looked at him, he was pulling his hair in front of him, trying to wring out the water!
Wen Huan caught a glimpse of Ah Yu's movements, and quickly let go of his hand.
He paused for a moment before saying, "If there is no danger nearby, it doesn't matter if Ah Yu forgets to say hello." It's just that there is still some danger outside, and if we care about it, it will be chaotic, and the monks guarding in front of the temple gate will not let people go out for no reason. β
Having said that, when he heard that Ah Yu was not in the meditation room, his first reaction was to rush to the gate of the temple.
As a result, he was driven back by the monks guarding the door.
If he hadn't known Ah Yu's whereabouts later, he would probably still be looking for people in the temple at this time!
Even Mrs. Wen and Wen Yu tactfully persuaded Ah Yu that they planned to take the little girl out to relax, but not to lose the little girl or hurt the little girl.
Until the night when he was about to fall asleep, Ah Yu's mind was still echoing with the sound of their chattering, is it really the environment that makes a person!
Obviously, when they were in Kyoto, my uncle and brother didn't have such a chatter, but now when they preach, it's like a monk chanting scriptures, and they don't stop for a moment.
Although he knew that Brother Ah and they were nearby, Ah Yu still couldn't fall asleep quickly.
When she couldn't sleep peacefully, she began to think back to her experience of this day, starting from when she couldn't eat with her uncle and them in the morning, to the long sermon later, but for some reason, the last thing that stopped in her mind was the person named Pei Jiang who met when she was sheltering from the rain.
I don't know if it's her delusion, she always feels as if she has seen him sometimes.
However, she turned over all her past memories, but she didn't find a few people surnamed Pei, the people surnamed Pei she knew seemed to be only Pei Yin and Pei Shou, but the current Pei Jiang was in Weizhou, and Pei Shou and Pei Yin, who lived in Kyoto or stayed at the border for a long time, should have nothing to do with it.
Half-asleep and half-awake, Ah Yu suddenly thought of Duan Yuzhi when he invited Wen Rusu to dinner, there was also a person surnamed Pei in the box, but that person was wearing a Confucian shirt and had a white face, which was clearly not a person from what she saw in the temple.
I don't know why she suddenly thought of that person!
No matter how deep he thought, there was no more, because Ah Yu had already fallen asleep.
