Ding received a post from the spring return, which said that she was invited to get together to discuss the art of vase flowers, she did not bring Shen again, this day as scheduled to the state office, the spring return really asked her to go to the garden to break the branches, just after a rainstorm last night, there was a breeze blowing on this day, so choose a good wood cage shade, only put the couch case, first taste the tea and appreciate their respective bottle offerings, a meditation and rest, so that the body and mind are happy, completely disturbed by the heat.
Then there is an exchange about insertion, nourishment, and bottle protection, such as the spring return said that the mulberry garden water is mostly used, and when the urn is first entered, a piece of hot coal soil is used, so the water will not be bad for many years, not only to raise flowers, but also to cook tea; Because Ding has lived in the capital for a period of time, he said that the water of Xishan Biyun Temple, Cracked Silk Lake, and Longyutang can be used, but once he enters the Gaoliang Bridge, the water quality will turn dirty and unacceptable.
Both of them believe that bottled water must be weathered by windy days, and it is especially taboo to use bitter water, and it is best to store some rainwater during the rainy season.
After talking about this product, each of them feels more compatible, although there is a difference in age, but the temperament has not become a barrier.
Ding also kept silent about the interests of the career today, and she had already known that Li Ji's wishes had been conveyed to the head of the family, so the next situation was naturally not for the female relatives to intervene, and there was no need to negotiate. Not to mention that the Ding family really didn't have the idea of working hard for the prosperity of the Li family, it was just within their duty.
This time in person, the conversation was more heart-to-heart than the previous two times: "Ah Gu exposed the domineering behavior of Zheng San's forced persecution in front of Pushan Temple that day, no matter what those high-sounding people say, I really admire Ah Gu's bravery, but at that time, I only thought that you were ill-fated, and your temperament was strong, and you should be depressed and angry when you suffered from these many hardships, I am afraid that it is not easy to get close, how do you know that after these few back-and-forths, but you are such a transparent and open-minded person, and you should really have the destiny to run at this time, although Mrs. Shen is the stepmother of the eldest prince, And there is a scheming sister who is in a high position, but her own temperament is frank and simple, not a tricky mother-in-law, and the talent of the eldest son is also praised by everyone, Ah Gu will definitely be happy in the future. β
Chungui invited Ding to come today, but also for that sympathy and wanted to have a personal relationship with her, and did his best to give some comfort, so he took the opportunity to say: "I am really a loose character, this is also my father raised me since childhood, although my father is a man, but he knows that under the etiquette of the world today, it is not easy for women to be restrained and live, and he has taught me since I was a child, as long as the heart is upright, do not do despicable and ugly things, I don't have to care about people's words and the so-called reputation, I am open-minded, pleasant and nourishing, and I know how to comfort myself in suffering. If you look down on everything, you can appreciate the fun of the waves, which is not actually beneficial to the world, but more beneficial to yourself. β
Ding until the farewell was still in the car to reminisce about the spring return words, to the home and directly crooked on the couch, until the evening did not drink or eat, her nurse in the eyes is really worried, and I don't know how his wife went to the state government, came back like a disheartened and discouraged, the accompanying maid interrogated for a long time and did not get the point, fortunately, Ding himself got better, she was like a child, snuggled into the arms of the nurse.
"I think if I change to Ah Gu, I should not have the courage to go out when I am facing a desperate situation, I have almost lived in a delusional situation all these years, in fact, after thinking about it, where can I be the most miserable and helpless person? It's not easy to survive in this world, is it a woman? We at least have no worries about food and clothing and are not suffering from diseases, as long as we put aside that little obsession with love, life is not completely uninteresting, I have been intoxicated with vase flowers for many years, and I have not understood the benefits of this pleasant nourishment, how many things in the world can not be loved? The human heart is unreliable, but I have been obsessed with him for so long. β
The nurse didn't know if she should breathe this sigh of relief, and she went down to appease Ding's backbone as she did in the past: "It's good that Mrs. can think about it, as long as she puts away so many thoughts that shouldn't be there, even if she has been like this with the master, the old slave seems that the eldest brother and eldest sister are also filial piety and admiration for the wife, and they will definitely be able to rely on the wife in the future, and there is no difference between their own flesh and blood." β
"They're all good boys." Ding's jaw head: "The child's heart is originally the purest and kindest, how I treat them, they will treat me, that incident is my willful nonsense, not for the sake of the two children, if it is exposed, although the eldest sister was not born to me, but I raised it under my knees, I will definitely be humiliated because of my behavior." β
Only then did the nurse rest assured: "Since Mrs. has figured it out, there is no need to ask Mo for a long time to ask for divination, right?" β
"I'm still going to go." Ding lowered his eyelashes: "You should still know his safety." β
The next day, he told Li Ji that he was going to Songguo Mountain to ask again, but this time he also let Shen accompany him, so he naturally brought Jin's mother with him.
Mo Wen has already received the news of the spring return here, and the same as the case of Wang Jiugui's family last time, he can't understand where the spring return came from to let him use that rhetoric, but the advantage of Mo Wen is that he is so curious that he scratches his heart and lungs, and he can still maintain an unfathomable posture in front of outsiders, he observed his complexion, and when Jin's mother said a word, this time he didn't even dismantle the words to explain, and just cooled down his eyebrows: "Since I know that Ling Lang is safe, why bother to ask again." β
Mo said that the servant woman looked terrified, and even the Shen family was shocked.
She is not a Confucian student, and like the vast majority of women and children at this time, she is in awe of the ghosts, gods, Buddhism, and Taoism, but because Mo Wen is not practicing in the orthodox Taoist temple, the Shen family just heard about his magical powers, and she is really suspicious in her heart, especially after accompanying the Ding family last time, but after Mo Wen simply refused to calculate, the Shen family suspected that this young path was not worthy of the name. In her opinion, how much knowledge can Wang Jiugui and a businessman have? Maybe he was fooled by the tricks of the gods and ghosts on the market, and maybe Zhao Zhouzun had already planted eyeliner to detect that the Bai family had died strangely, in order to win Wang Jiugui's confession, he instructed his eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law to behave, so Gu Niangzi took advantage of Mo Wen's identity as a Taoist priest to gain Wang Jiugui's trust first.
But Shen is extremely confident in his ability to govern his family, involving the scandal of his wife Hongxing's appearance on the wall, except for a few insiders, she does not believe that the scandal has been exposed, and it is impossible for Zhao Zhouzun to investigate the whereabouts and safety of Yanqing.
However, Mo Wen was able to judge in one sentence, and bluntly said that the Jin family knew the whereabouts of their son, and his words were so determined, if it wasn't really magical, how could it be so?
Shen's heart was so excited that she didn't pay attention to whether Ding understood the hidden meaning after hearing Mo Wen's long judgment, she hurriedly got up and saluted Mo Wen, and pleaded with great sincerity for Li Ji's future.
When he got the sentence "catastrophe is imminent", Shen almost faltered.
It turned out that when the Ding family was invited to a meeting in the spring yesterday, Lan Ting also took the initiative to meet Li Ji and "conveyed" Zhao Zhouzun's meaning, that is, he would not include Li Ji in his wings at all, and he had no guarantee for a prosperous future, and he didn't seem to care about the handles about Shi Liangxing in Li Ji's hands at all. This naturally made Li Ji panic, and he was even more worried that Zhao Jiangcheng already had a chance of thwarting Shi Dang, and he was not Shi Liangxing's henchman, but because of the relationship between the chief and his subordinates, he became a natural camp, of course, if he wasted his heart to camp for a few more years, he might be able to become Shi Liangxing's henchman and then soar.
But the premise is that Shi Liangxing can't be defeated at this time!
Li Ji really felt the crisis, he didn't know if Yuan Ge Lao could protect Shi Liangxing, but he was sure that Shi Liangxing would find a scapegoat if he protected himself from crime, who was more suitable than himself who was neither a confidant but also did fall into the benefits and shared the stolen money?
This is why Li Ji is in a hurry to see the wind and rudder, but he never imagined that Zhao Jiangcheng would not play cards according to the routine at all, and refused to accept him as a party from taking the opportunity to expand his strength.
Shen and Li Ji are heart-to-heart, naturally sharing honor and disgrace, and her father and brother are Li Ji's masterminds, the current danger Shen is clear, when listening to the judgment of the murderer, how can he not be frightened.
At this time, he simply knelt down and gave a big salute, and pleaded more sincerely for a way to solve the misfortune.
"Most of the calamities in the world are due to the delusion of greed for perfection, that is, to solve misfortune, you need to quit greed." Mo Wen responded simply and clearly according to the instructions of the spring return, and then got up to see off the guests.
In fact, people who are in awe of ghosts, gods, Buddhas, and Taoism like Shen should understand the truth of karma and retribution, otherwise wouldn't those who do many evils be able to go unpunished by worshipping the gods and Buddhas? Mo Wen's admonition naturally did not have much effect on Shen's initiation, but it only made her completely dispel the idea in her heart, and after she went back, she not only persuaded Li Jiduo, but also persuaded her father and brother to suggest it with her.
ββSince he is already in the same stream with Shi Liangxing, it is better to dispel the plan of changing a big tree to continue to enjoy the shade, Li Ji is not without a way out at this time, as long as he frankly confesses Shi Liangxing's many crimes of embezzlement and bribery, at least he can strive for leniency, and he will not be completely denounced and never reused, or even become a prisoner.
Even if Li Ji's career in the future will be more difficult, there should be no hope of high-ranking officials, but at least it will not implicate the clan and children, the Ding family is a family of real power, the Li clan looks at Li Ji and has such a powerful in-law, the clan elder will not give up and disgust because of Li Ji's career setbacks, whether it is the eldest son of the Da Ding family, or the two concubines of the Shen family, as long as they are studious and famous, the clan will still support and cultivate, a family like them, accumulating multi-generation connections is naturally a great help for children and nephews, Li Ji's family is far from being in a state of collapse.
Even if Li Ji can't go any further, as long as he is not sentenced to exile because of Shi Liangxing's continuous sitting, the situation is actually not too bad, then this marriage will not be abandoned by the Ding family. As long as the friendship of the in-laws is still there, the situation of the Ding family will not be worse than now, but she can see it clearly, but she is unwilling to waste her lips and tongue for Li Jiduo, and these interests are planned for him by the Shen family and her father and brother.
Of course, the Ding family can also judge the root cause of Yanqing's "nowhere to be found" from Mo Wen's judgment and Jin's mother's expression, she looked at the pale servant woman who almost didn't dare to look up, and only laughed softly: "Mother has been judged by the Taoist, and she will be completely relieved in the future, and I will always be worthy of the loyal service of your old servants over the years." β
She was helped by the nurse to board the car, and never looked at Mother Jin again.
