The third of the ancient Buddha of the green lantern
"Nonsense!"
"Yan'er is the meat of your heart and mine, how can you be willing to let her go to the nunnery!"
"I said before, I can't believe what those bald donkeys say, but you still take it seriously, so cruel to your own daughter?"
Li Zhiyan hid behind the screen and eavesdropped on the conversation between his father and mother.
Most of the time, she only heard Li Shoucheng angry.
Shen's voice was soft, and she was a little farther away, and she couldn't really hear it anymore.
Suddenly, Shen coughed heavily.
Li Zhiyan almost rushed out.
"Madame!" Li Shoucheng was anxious.
Li Zhiyan managed to control himself.
I faintly heard the sound of patting on the back.
After a while, Li Shoucheng sighed: "That's it...... Since you said so, I will let Yan'er live in the nunnery for a while. If there is an accident, let her live in the nunnery for a long time...... No, at that time, whether it is still vulgar or not should also depend on the willingness of the smokers. ”
"Master, you promised me." Shen coughed until his reddened face bloomed with a beautiful smile.
She raised her voice: "Yan'er, come out." ”
With her delicate and deliberately raised voice, she only speaks at the same volume as ordinary people.
Li Zhiyan turned out from behind the screen.
Li Shoucheng's eyes widened.
Lord Li, who is famous outside, has weakened his momentum in the face of his wife and daughter.
"You mother and daughter, good, good!"
"Daddy......" Li Zhiyan received the look handed over by Shen and was silent.
I saw Shen pinching the corners of his clothes, bowing his head gloomily, and his eyes were red: "The master is complaining about the concubine?" ”
Li Shoucheng couldn't give out his anger, so he had to comfort Shen again.
got Li Shoucheng's consent, and Li Shoucheng came forward to solve the troubles that Li Zhiyan might face as a monk.
When the Li family faced the Shen family, no one dared to say that the Shen family would die, but everyone knew that it was time to prepare for the future.
Li Zhiyan also made a decision to go to Shuijing Nunnery.
Li Shoucheng persuaded her a few times, but seeing that she had made up her mind, and Shen explained, he had to agree.
On this day, Li Shoucheng came back from outside, and he heard a report from the porter that Lord Zhou Qiming and his son Zhou Liyan came to visit.
Li Shoucheng and Zhou Qiming had a good personal relationship, and when he heard that he was visiting, Li Shoucheng immediately ordered someone to invite him in.
Li Zhiyan heard that his father went home, and he planned to tell Li Shoucheng about the judgment made by the imperial doctor after Shen's diagnosis today.
It happened that a guest came, and it was inconvenient for Li Zhiyan to show up.
She was going to return to Shen's room and continue to accompany her mother.
But through the screen, after inadvertently glancing at the person entering the door, Li Zhiyan stayed in place.
The young man was clearly the one she had seen in the Shui Jing Nunnery.
Zhou Qiming's son, Zhou Liyan!
The reason for the familiarity is revealed.
Li Zhiyan recognized Zhou Qiming. And Zhou Liyan's appearance is quite similar to Zhou Qiming.
After a little groaning, Li Zhiyan simply hid and eavesdropped on the conversation between Li Shoucheng and Zhou Qiming.
At the beginning, the two only talked about court affairs.
Zhou Liyan said two sentences from time to time.
In just a few words, I saw that Zhou Liyan was extraordinary.
Later, Zhou Qiming found a reason to send Zhou Liyan away.
He moved on to another topic.
"Brother Li, what do you think of my son?"
Li Shoucheng smiled: "Brother Zhou's son, studying under the dean of Hanhai Academy, known as the first academy in the world, is extraordinary, and his future will be limitless." ”
"Then Brother Li thinks that my son is worthy of the pearl of your family?"
Li Zhiyan in the back was startled.
She couldn't have imagined that Zhou Qiming would come today with such a purpose.
"This ...... To tell you the truth, my daughter already had other plans. ”
"Brother Li didn't mean to let her become a monk? Pity a little girl who is like a flower and jade, and has lived a hard life since then, Brother Li, Brother Li, are you really willing to do it? I know you've always treasured your daughters more than your two sons! ”
Li Shoucheng smiled reluctantly: "I naturally can't bear it." But Zen Master Kongming said that this child has a Buddha fate and can only prolong his life if he is raised in Buddhism. I don't want my children to suffer, and I don't want to watch my children ...... Alas! are all parents, isn't Brother Zhou the same, for the sake of the child's good, he ruthlessly sent the child to Hanhai Academy, and said goodbye for ten years? ”
"Brother Li......"
Li Shoucheng waved his hand: "Brother Zhou has to mention it again." This is also the wish of my wife and me. Moreover, Ling Lang is a talent, and my wife is now seriously ill, if she really gives the smoke to Ling Lang, it will delay Ling Lang. ”
Zhou Qiming couldn't persuade again, so he had to find another topic.
But neither he nor Li Shoucheng's minds were on chatting.
Zhou Qiming quickly said goodbye and left.
He left, and Li Shoucheng was still sitting in his chair, his thoughts wandering.
Li Zhiyan turned out from behind and called softly, "Daddy." ”
Li Shoucheng quickly came back to his senses.
He looked back at the delicate woman.
Shen has excellent appearance, but unfortunately he has always been weak.
Li Zhiyan looks more like Shen.
In a trance, Li Shoucheng was like seeing the young Shen.
He gestured to the chair beside him, "Sit down." Did you hear what I said to your Uncle Zhou just now? ”
In fact, Zhou Qiming's wife should visit the Shen family and discuss this matter with the Shen family, and then the Shen family should inform Li Shoucheng.
But now that Shen is seriously ill and has long been gone, Zhou Qiming has no choice but to mention it to Li Shoucheng in person.
Li Zhiyan lowered his eyes: "I heard it." Daddy, I've met Zhou Gongzi before. ”
"Oh?"
Li Zhiyan told what happened in the Shuijing Nunnery that day.
She didn't know Zhou Liyan's past, but she just guessed from the conversation between Li Shoucheng and Zhou Liyan that Zhou Liyan had been away from home for many years before returning to Beijing.
However, Suijingan is located in the mountains.
Zhou Liyan returned to Beijing from other places and should not have passed through this place.
Do you have a good official road and go to the mountains?
Li Zhiyan didn't know Zhou Liyan's identity before, so he never mentioned this matter to Li Shoucheng.
Li Shoucheng listened and was silent.
He also couldn't understand why Zhou Qiming suddenly proposed.
Once Shen died of illness, even if Li Zhiyan did not become a nun according to his arrangement during this time, he would have to keep filial piety for three years.
This marriage will have to be delayed for at least three years.
"Daddy, my daughter has something to tell you. Today's Taiyi ......"
What Li Zhiyan said is not good news.
Shen's illness has worsened.
Li Shoucheng seems to have aged a few years in an instant.
He sighed: "Yan'er, do you think it's time for my father to resign?" ”
As soon as he said this, Li Zhiyan was frightened first.
She was puzzled: "Daddy? ”
Li Shoucheng used to take that position very seriously!
"If I resign, I can get Ah Lian's life back, so why don't I resign immediately?"
Ah Lian is the name of the Shen family.
Li Zhiyan was silent.
Li Shoucheng got up: "Come with me to see your mother and accompany her more." ”
Shen on the bed closed his eyelids.
Her eyebrows unconsciously gathered, and her sorrow lingered.
Li Shoucheng had deliberately slowed down, but he still woke her up easily.
Shen sat up: "The master is back?" ”
Her smile was soft and soft, but it seemed like it could be broken at any moment.
Li Zhiyan's heart was tightened again.
Recently, she has always been by Shen's bedside, watching her relatives move towards death day by day, but the fear and pain of being unable to do anything have already filled her heart.
Li Shoucheng held Shen's hand tightly, and did not speak, only looked at her, and was affectionate.
