Chapter 19: Persuasion
In the Guogong Mansion, Qingyu got a message. When Li returned from attending the palace banquet that day, he contracted a cold and has been groggy for the past few days.
Second Master Lin took her back to the master bedroom, asked for leave, and took care of her all day.
Qingyu felt that a man like Lin Erye was rare in ancient times. It's a pity that the two of them are entangled in their hearts, which is really sad. Today, I heard that the second lady had improved a little and moved back to the Buddhist hall, but the second master did not allow it, and the two of them made a fuss.
Qingyu thought that she would be grateful to the Li family for the palace banquet, so she went to Lin Erye's residence.
"I can't go today."
"Jinyun, just listen to me, and then go back to the Buddha Hall when you are in good health in a few days?"
"The yard is cold and the lighting is not good, I'm worried about your ......"
"It's a big deal, I won't come, if you don't want to see me, I won't bother you, wait for you to get better......"
……
Lin Erye chattered, and Li Shi didn't reply, just sat on the edge of the bed, his demure face was a little stubborn, and because of his illness, there was an abnormal blush in his fair complexion. She has been groggy for the past few days, and she didn't feel better until she woke up today, seeing the room she was in, she frowned, shouted a few times Cui Gu no one answered, so she struggled to get up and planned to go back to the Buddhist hall, but before she could get out of the door, she was blocked by the man who rushed over, and then she kept whispering in her ear......
Li looked at Second Master Lin who was still sweating beads on his forehead because he was anxious, and there was always a sense of strength in her heart, but she couldn't tell what it was, and listening to his voice in her ears, it seemed that it didn't feel real.
Just when the house was at an impasse, Qingyu just arrived.
Second Master Lin came to the door and looked at the woman with the veil in the courtyard, bowing slightly, he heard his father say that this girl is not bad.
Second Master Lin looked back at his wife, who didn't come in, and went out helplessly, walked to Qingyu's side, and said in a low voice: "Tired!" ”
Qingyu understood and entered the room under the gaze of Second Master Lin.
"Ma'am." ”
The Li family is quite friendly, but he is a little unkind to Second Master Lin. At this time, she saw that Qingyu also had a smile on her face, and pointed to the stool on the side and said, "Why are you here, sit down." ”
"I heard that Mrs. is not in good health these days, Qingyu wanted to come and see you, and on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I would like to thank Mrs. for taking care of her, helping Qingyu block a lot of trouble, and tiring you from the cold in the body, Qingyu really can't help it."
"You don't have to be so polite, I'm also for the Guogong Mansion, the wind and cold are just because I'm weak, so it's even more strange to you, you don't have to be burdened."
Qing Yu responded, and then said: "Madam, this is the eight-treasure porridge I cooked, try it!" Qingyu handed the porridge she had boiled to the Li family.
Li Shi tasted it and said, "Well, it's good! I always want to eat something light when I'm sick these days, and this porridge has won my heart! ”
"Madame, do you like to hear stories? It's better to drink porridge while listening to my stories to relieve fatigue! ”
Li felt that this girl was both smart and considerate, and liked her from the bottom of his heart, so it was good to sleep for a few days and listen to the story.
Qingyu got the approval of the Li family and talked endlessly.
"Madame believes in Buddhism, and she must know that she will send her son Guanyin. In an ancient scripture I read that the ladies prayed sincerely in front of the Buddha statues, and when the send-off goddess of mercy heard the prayers, he would send his own disciples to the earth to satisfy the pious ladies. And those children who died early were only recalled in advance because Master Guanyin had something to do. ”
Qingyu looked at Li's gradually ugly face, and was very apprehensive, but she still decided to continue.
"When the Buddha closes a door for you, he will surely open a window for you. Madame may have lost her beloved son, but you have more than you have lost. ”
"Enough!" Li slammed the porridge bowl to the ground, and the porridge splashed on the ground, "Please go back, you are not welcome here." ”
"I know that Madame doesn't like it, but I really like Madame, and I hope Madame can get rid of her demons as soon as possible. The matter of the little son, the second master must also be in great pain, maybe he is more tormented than his wife. Mrs. has been practicing Buddhism for many years, how can she forget about it? Since you are obsessed with it and shirk and escape, it is better to face it calmly and open your eyes and look at the people around you! ”
Qingyu didn't know how much Li listened, but at least she felt it herself.
"How many people in this world want to be sincerely cared for, and they work hard for it, but what about you, madam, who will always turn away happiness. I think the little boy will not be happy when he looks at his father and mother in the sky because he is a stranger. ”
Qingyu looked at Li's face that was close to collapse, and was very distressed, but when she saw the second lady for the first time, she knew that she was a good person, and a good person should not always be more difficult and difficult, she wanted to help her, although her strength was very small.
Li still didn't say a word, as if he was stuck in memory. She smiled bitterly, others thought that she resented the second master because of her beloved son's affairs, but only she knew that it was not like that......
"Qingyu knows that she is not qualified to say these words to her wife, but every word is from the bottom of her heart, and she asks her to bear more." Qingyu bowed seriously.
"Stand down."
"Yes."
Qingyu withdrew from the door of the Li family, hoping that she would want to open it as soon as possible.
And at the moment when Qingyu closed the door, Li's tears welled up like a spring, falling into the past!
……
"Mother, mother!"
The five-year-old child innocently ran towards Li and hugged her tightly, and the nurse behind followed her and kept saying: "Little boy, slow down, slow down!" Seeing that the Li family was busy saluting, "Meet the second lady, you can count it back, the little boy has been making trouble looking for you!" ”
Before Li could speak, he heard a soft and glutinous voice coming, "Mother, where have you been, I miss you, the master praised me today, he said that the child's handwriting is beautiful, go quickly, the child will show you!" After speaking, he pulled Li to his small study.
Seeing that he was so happy, Li took him to the study, shook the soft little hand in his hand, and calmed down a little. She was still worried just now, for fear that he would have some accident at home, and sure enough, looking at his lively appearance, where something would happen, she was to blame that charlatan, causing her to worry for so long!
In fact, today Li went to Jinran Temple to offer incense, and when he came back, he went shopping, and saw that something seemed to be happening on the corner of the street, and many people surrounded him, so she also took Cui Gu over to have a look. Surrounded by everyone was a warlock in tattered clothes, his face was blue and purple, as if he had just been beaten, and even the signboard of "Measuring the hand is not allowed to ask for money" There are several shoe prints printed on it. There was a lot of discussion among the people around, and it sounded as if the warlock had made a fortune for someone, and he didn't know what he had said, which made the master angry, so he sent someone to beat him up and smashed his signboard in the street.
The few onlookers scattered with their fingers, and Li also felt that he should not stay any longer to make a gesture to leave, but when he saw the warlock staggering up and falling to the ground, she felt a little pitiful, so she asked someone to help him, and wanted to give him some money, but before she could speak, the warlock recited two lines of poetry to himself and walked away.
"If you have children in the family, you need to be cautious, but you know that the disaster is today." Li Shi read lightly, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and when she wanted to look for it again, the warlock didn't even have a figure, "Go home immediately!" ”
Along the way, her heart beat like a drum, and she couldn't wait to put on her wings and fly back, until she saw that her son was in good condition, and she couldn't help but think about the warlock's words, but thinking that dozens of people in the Guogong Mansion could still let him have an accident when they looked at a child? Thinking about it like this, I was relieved a lot, and I only secretly decided to keep more snacks in the future.
But no one expected that two days later, Second Master Lin would take a break, and when he came back from the barracks, he would not delay for a moment to see his wife and children. When he returned home, the Li family was worried about a few posts, and families like theirs were very particular about their dealings with families on weekdays. There is no mother-in-law at home, and her sister-in-law also died early, so she has been in charge of the feed for the past few years.
Seeing that Second Master Lin was back, she asked him to accompany the child, and she herself took the maid to the treasury to count the gifts.
But she didn't expect it......
It's all her fault, she's obviously been warned...... It's all her fault.
For a while, there were mixed feelings of heartache, guilt, self-blame, remorse, and confusion...... She was surrounded and devoured by all negative emotions, and she couldn't accept this cruel reality.
Moreover, she can no longer give birth...... She hurt her body, and she will never be able to conceive his child again in this life......
That night, she hugged the second master and cried all night, he knew that the pain in the second master's heart would naturally not be less than her, but when she heard the second master say that she didn't blame her, she was even more sad and embarrassed......
So she chose to seal herself up and keep sealing it up......
……
Li cried for a long time before falling asleep, but I don't know what she saw in her dreams, although the corners of her eyes were always moist in her sleep, maybe in that or countless such dreams, a child would cry sweetly: "Mother, mother!" I miss you......"
In the next few days, the Li family still did not smile at the second master, but he no longer mentioned the matter of moving back to the Buddhist hall, Qingyu thought that Li was willing to take the first step to be good, maybe it would gradually become better!
……
Kill the Dog Theater
Li: Second master, you know, I'm not actually blaming you......
Second Master Lin: Jinyun, it's not your fault. It was our destiny to have no children.
Li: Second master, you can take a concubine, you can have it.
Second Master Lin: I don't accept it, there are so many women in the world, I only love you.
Li's: (Jiao Didi) Second Master~~~
Mr. Xu: Hey, that's enough. It's all old husbands and wives, and they're still so numb!
Mr. Xu: Someone! Kill the dog!
Second Master Lin: Madam, let's ignore him, let's go back to the room, speaking of which, we have been for six years......
Mr. Xu: Shut up, that's enough, can you give the dog a way to live?
(The two go away together)
Mr. Xu: (smirks ruthlessly) You want to reunite and see if I Xu Gouzi agrees!
