Chapter 113: Annihilation
Fate brought several people together in a dramatic way, but because they were absent-minded, by mistake, or the time when the monk Huiyuan said, they did not get their wish, and staged a regret of "even if they meet, they should not know each other".
As for Shopkeeper Ye and Gu Xixi, they have even come to the edge of their feelings. Through this incident, they felt like they had seen through each other. That little bit of affection that remained in the hearts of the two of them was about to dissipate to nothing.
However, because of the so-called lottery, several people returned satisfied.
Compared with these people, Xue Xueming and the Ai family have not yet succeeded in meeting Monk Huiyuan.
When they explained their intention and said that they wanted to meet the abbot, a little monk took them to a small room halfway up the mountain to rest, saying that the abbot was busy and needed to wait.
It's just that what they didn't see was that when the little monk left, his eyes were full of disdain. It's no wonder that he is like this, I don't know how many pilgrims come to the Big Buddha Temple every day, but almost everyone wants to see the abbot.
There are many monks and little porridge, and the monk Huiyuan is the fragrant gluttony, and it is impossible for everyone to get their wish.
When it was almost noon, the family began to get a little impatient, and the uncertainty of the situation made them a little crazy.
Seeing a little monk passing by outside the house, Xue Qing'er stood up, regardless of the so-called male and female defense, walked out of the door, grabbed him and asked, "Little Master, I'm sorry, I was rude." It's just that we are really anxious, and we ask the little master for forgiveness. It's just that the abbot has been busy, and we are in a hurry to go home, so I will ask you about something. ”
The little monk was frightened by Qing'er's movements and took a few steps back, until she said that she just wanted to inquire about something, and then she resisted the urge to run without pulling her legs. Like Xue Qing'er, this is the first time he has encountered it.
"Donor, excuse me."
"I want to ask, is there a new monk in this temple recently. Well, he was about eleven or twelve years old, and when he came, he had some long hair, and he was dressed in tatters. ”
Seeing that the little monk was listening carefully, Ai Shi immediately joined the ranks, and spoke while gesturing, trying to make his description simple and easy to understand and summarize Xue Dan's characteristics.
It's a pity that what stood in front of them was just a little monk who had just entered the temple for less than five days, with the lowest grade and very limited things to be exposed to.
I don't know anything about what happened before I entered the temple.
Hearing this, the little monk thought for a while and said, "There is no such person." Seeing that a few people were a little unconvinced, he added: "The monks don't say anything, and if you don't believe it, you can continue to wait for the host here, and it is the same to ask him in person." ”
After speaking, no matter how disappointed Xue Xueming's family was, they walked down the mountain.
Although it was close to noon, the pilgrims were still continuous, and he needed to guide them to park the carriage and then take them up the mountain to worship the Buddha as appropriate. If he hadn't been stopped by Xue Qing'er, he would have gone down the mountain a long time ago.
Thinking of this, he quickened his pace, thinking that others should not think that he was lazy. But looking at Xue Qing'er's eyes, it was a little funny, and she felt like she was avoiding her.
That's it, the family looks at me, I look at you, and they are all a little disappointed. It's just that this is also a helpless thing. The little monk looked quite honest just now, and there was no reason to lie to them.
Instead of waiting for the abbot who doesn't know when he will come, it is better to go home, and the result is the same anyway, that is, the little monk may not have come to the Great Buddha Temple at all.
In this regard, the Han family was faintly excited, and finally did not have to lead a little monk who knew nothing to return home.
After a lot of twists and turns, he found the little monk who had guided them up the mountain to rest, but Xue Dacheng only said that his matter had been solved and there was no need to see the abbot again, so he helped Xue Xueming and Ai Shi down the mountain.
It's just that what they don't know is that if they stay here for a while, they will meet the people they have always wanted to meet.
Just when they had just reached the foot of the mountain, Xue Xueyi and Ai Shi had already boarded Ye's carriage with the clown sister and drove towards Qingshan County.
Ye Feng's family also took two carriages and also ran in the direction of home.
None of them were seen.
As soon as he returned to the backyard of the county government and dismantled all the jewelry, Gu Xixi suddenly felt a little tired, to be precise, his heart was a little tired.
So, she lay on the table in a daze, and did not speak, but startled the maids, but did not dare to disturb, so she had to wait on the side.
Ye's shopkeeper is the person, she knows it best. Once he has decided on something, he will not give up, and he will desperately want to pursue it.
However, in the same way, if he is disgusted with one thing, he will also give up quickly and chaotically, and will never be nostalgic. I guess the shopkeeper Ye already understood what she meant just now, but it was not enough to understand the feelings, she had to add another fire.
It's just that how should this fire be added?
Thinking about it, I was a little irritable, so I closed my eyes, leaned on the dresser with my right hand and closed my eyes.
Half-asleep and half-awake, Gu Xixi felt two hands on his temples, rubbing them unhurriedly. She originally had a headache, but after this rubbing, she felt a lot more comfortable.
Don't think about it, it must be Cuizhu's girl. No one in this family dared to walk into his bedroom directly and quietly except for her.
So, Gu Xixi completely relaxed and accepted this moderately powerful massage with peace of mind. After a while, the discomfort in his head slowly disappeared, so he opened his eyes and wanted to say a few words to Cuizhu.
Over the years, Cuizhu has been following her, and she knows all her things. In front of her, Gu Xixi had almost no secrets to speak of.
When Gu Xixi opened her eyes, she found that the person standing behind her to massage her was not Cuizhu, but her distant cousin, Yao Wushuang. As for Cuizhu, he was standing at the door, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.
When I looked at it, I knew that this must be my cousin's masterpiece, and Cuizhu and others were not allowed to spread it, nor were they allowed to make a sound.
There is no need to think about it, Yao Wushuang naturally came to her for something.
It was the same last time, blocking Cuizhu and the others from the door, and came in to massage Gu Xixi, just to ask Gu Xixi to help push away the blind date arranged by her family.
Her cousin, who is the most willful and ambitious, is still unmarried because of the delay, which is a headache for the family.
Gu Xixi suddenly felt that his head, which had just been a little more comfortable, began to ache faintly again, and he didn't know what Yao Wushuang was here for this time. As long as it's not a matter of officialdom, it's hard for her to refuse.
For the sake of kinship, but also for the fate of growing up together since childhood.
Seeing that Yao Wushuang was not as out of touch as usual, and there seemed to be something unspeakable, the anger in Gu Xixi's heart disappeared by three points first, and he asked angrily: "Needless to say, you are naughty again, and you won't let anyone report when you come, and I will pick you up." It's ...... to come to my house and pretend to be a maid."
Seeing Gu Xixi like this, Yao Wushuang immediately looked unbearable and said, "Stop, stop!" Cousin, I really don't understand, why do you say that you all like to reason with others so much. When I was at home, I was often pulled by my father and mother to reason. Originally, I came to you to hide from Qingjing, but you turned out to be like this. If you do this again, I'll be gone. ”
Gu Xixi knew that if she was leaving, she would have left a long time ago, and she didn't have to pretend to be a maid to serve her until now, so after thinking about it, she said, "You, this mouth is just unforgiving." Say, what's going on this time? ”
After speaking, Gu Xixi made a color towards the green bamboo.
Cuizhu understood, immediately stepped forward and closed the door, and quickly left with a group of people.
Seeing that everyone had left, Yao Wushuang said slowly: "My father and mother force me to know this and that every day, but none of them are what I like." What do you think I'm going to do, cousin. ”
It turned out to be a lifelong event, but what he said was: "This time I am on my aunt's side." If you want to say that you are not small, it is time to talk about others, what's wrong with that? I just don't believe that my aunt has shown you so many young talents, and you can't even look down on any of them. ”
When it came to young talents, Gu Xixi actually caught a glimpse of Yao Wushuang's rare shyness, and immediately understood in his heart, and said with a smile: "I understand, do you have a sweetheart?" You girl, you said it earlier, so that your father and mother won't force you to socialize everywhere. If you tell me who this person is, my cousin will tell you about the matchmaker, what do you think? ”
As he spoke, he scratched Yao Wushuang with his hand, making her laugh for a while.
But immediately, Gu Xixi couldn't laugh anymore.
Seeing that Gu Xixi guessed it, Yao Wushuang was no longer shy, and said directly: "Cousin, I do have a sweetheart." You know that man, too. He's ......"
Gu Xixi said: "I didn't know to be shy before, but now I'm starting to be shy, let's say, who is it, since I know it, it's more convenient." ”
She only thinks that it is those young talents who often come to the county to meet Baizhi County. Thinking about it, Yao Wushuang often comes and goes freely, so it is unknown that he met his sweetheart.
Yao Wushuang is like this, and he refuses to tell his family, thinking that most of the people who come here have no fame, and even have no family background. Thinking of this, Gu Xi has a feeling of sympathy.
She and Yao Wushuang, how can they like this kind of person!
Who knows, Yao Wushuang's next words are tantamount to thunder on the ground, only to hear Yao Wushuang say shyly and sweetly: "That is, it is the big shopkeeper in my cousin's shop, Ye Yuntian." ”
Hearing this, the teacup in Gu Xixi's hand suddenly fell to the ground, making a crisp sound. Broken pieces of porcelain were scattered everywhere, leaving a puddle of water and swollen tea leaves innocently stuck to the ground.
"Cousin, what's wrong with you, but what's wrong?" Seeing the incredulity on Gu Xixi's face, Yao Wushuang asked nervously. She was really afraid that Gu Xixi would say things like "I already have a family".
What about being poor, she is not afraid, as long as she doesn't have a family.
Knowing that he had lost his temper, Gu Xixi hurriedly sat up straight to hide the shock in his heart, and then said slowly: "There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that he's just a mere shopkeeper and has no family background, how can he be worthy of you?" I don't think your father and mother will agree. I advise you to make another choice! ”
That Zhi Yao Wushuang said almost obsessively: "Cousin, I know that there are many obstacles between me and him. However, in this life, people always have to find someone they like to live in vain. ”
Speaking of this, his eyes waved, and he was a little flattering out of thin air: "I have been to the shop several times, and I have sent people to ask many people on the side, and they all say that he is very good." I look older, but I just like it. As for my mom and dad, I'll try to convince them. ”
Hearing this, Gu Xi regretted a moment of distraction, is this the providence of the legend? It's just that she likes Ye Yuntian, and now even her cousin is like this, how can this be good?
Suddenly, she thought of the reason for her trouble, and the fire she had been waiting for. Seeing Yao Wushuang like this, he must have been thinking about it in his heart for some days, and it seems that he will not die easily.
Perhaps, this is the fire you want, although this fire may burn you in the future.
Thinking of this, as if he had made some kind of determination, Gu Xixi said to Yao Wushuang seriously: "Do you really like it, and you will never regret it?" ”
Hearing this, Yao Wushuang nodded violently, for fear that Gu Xixi would not help her. Her words have always been very useful in front of her father and mother, and if she says one sentence, she will say ten words at the top.
"Since you like it like this, then my cousin will test his tone for you, but don't go to the shop anymore."
After getting Gu Xixi's promise, Yao Wushuang went home happily.
After reading the account book, Shopkeeper Ye was in a daze at the mark left by Ye Feng when he came to the shop before and had an argument with Guide Ke. Thinking about it, he took out the half of the jade jue that he wore at any time, put it in his hand and stroked it.
The half of the jade jue on Ye Feng's body was cherished, and there was a small "leaf" engraved on it, which could not be seen at all if you didn't look carefully. And his piece is engraved with the word "Gu", which is also very small.
Looking at this jade jue, shopkeeper Ye thought, should this jade jue be destroyed, or return it to Gu Xixi himself. It's always inappropriate to wear something like this every day.
In contemplation, Shopkeeper Ye suddenly heard the sound of a quarrel outside the door.
When he walked to the door, Shopkeeper Ye saw that Cuizhu was trying his best to persuade Guide Ke who was in front of him, saying that he had something important to find Shopkeeper Ye.
But Ke Guide is crazy, that is, Cuizhu is not allowed to come forward. Cuizhu saw that he was obstructing in every way, so he said coldly: "I really have an urgent matter to come to your shopkeeper, if you do this again, you miss a big thing, can you afford it?" ”
Ke Guide said, "I don't care, I won't let you in." Every time you come to my uncle, he will be unhappy when he comes back, so it can be seen that nothing good is good. Bad woman! ”
If it weren't for Shopkeeper Ye's sake, Cuizhu would have been rough a long time ago, where would he be entangled with Ke Dao like this. In the entire Qingshan County, Ke Dao dared to do this and not give her face. If someone else had changed, they would have welcomed her in the door.
was about to have a seizure, only to hear the door knock, Shopkeeper Ye slowly walked out, stared at Cuizhu and said, "Where are you going?" ”
Cuizhu was not verbose, just said "old place" and left.
Telling Guide Ke to be optimistic about the shop, Shopkeeper Ye went to the appointment.
When he pushed the door open, he found that Gu Xixi was already sitting at the table with his back to him, leaving a familiar and extremely unfamiliar back.
Shopkeeper Ye didn't say anything, sighed, and walked straight to sit down opposite Gu Xixi. I don't know why, he has a vague idea in his heart, he always feels that he shouldn't come today.
Seeing that Shopkeeper Ye was seated, Gu Xixi didn't speak, just picked up the teapot elegantly, first poured a little boiling water, scalded the teacup in front of Shopkeeper Ye, and then gave Shopkeeper Ye a cup of tea.
Judging from the aroma in the air, Shopkeeper Ye knew that this was his favorite tea, full of fragrance.
Speaking of which, in the first year of the opening of Zhenbao Zhai, the shopkeeper Ye followed Gu Xixi to socialize everywhere and drank countless good teas. However, he never showed any interest in any kind of tea.
On one occasion, Gu Xixi saw that he frequently drained the tea in his cup, and asked the waiter to pour it several times. Since then, there has only been this kind of tea on the counter of the Ye shopkeeper.
Just by listening to the name, you can tell that this tea has a rich fragrance, and there is nothing special about it when you make tea, but as soon as you enter it, it is fragrant and fragrant, and the wonderful taste lingers between the tongue and the lips and teeth.
It's just that this tea is not cheap, only this pot is worth enough for the poor to live for a year.
However, since twelve years ago, when his son was lost, and Gu Xixi married Bai Zhixian, Shopkeeper Ye has never drunk this kind of tea again. For him, the more fragrant the tea, the more it can draw out the bitterness in his heart.
Picking up the teacup, Shopkeeper Ye drank the tea in one gulp, as in the past.
Twelve years later, the entrance is still a familiar scent, a familiar feeling. Gu Xixi saw that he drank it in one gulp, so he refilled it for him.
It's just that no one speaks.
The house is still the same room, the person is still the same person, and even the taste of the tea has not changed, but both of them know in their hearts that everything is no longer the same as before. Since I don't know what to say, it's better to just say nothing.
Half loud, in the end, Gu Xixi opened his mouth first.
It's just that as soon as she opened her mouth, Shopkeeper Ye's face changed.
I only heard Gu Xixi say: "Ye ...... Shopkeeper, if I'm not mistaken, you passed the year of standing last year. Over the years, the reason why Jumbo Zhai has been able to become the leader of the jewelry shop in the town is all due to you. However, you can't be delayed like that. ”
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Ye was furious, what does it mean to take care of it? Is this actually going to be a matchmaker for him?
"It just so happens that I have a cousin named Yao Wushuang, this year is the Double Ten Good Year, the pearl of my parents' palms. Because my vision is too high, I have picked and picked until now. A few days ago, she came to the store to choose jewelry and took a fancy to you. Just now, he came to me, saying that he was obsessed with you and asked me to tell you. If you also think it is suitable, send someone to propose marriage, and I will help you too. ”
finally finished saying this, Gu Xixi was really relieved, just because it was too difficult to say.
It's okay to change it before, the relationship between the two is quite harmonious, and everything is discussed. However, it has been a bit complicated recently, and it is too obvious for her to do so, Shopkeeper Ye is only afraid that she will be cranky.
Sure enough, Gu Xixi's worst fears still happened.
At this moment, the anger in Shopkeeper Ye's heart had burned to the extreme. If Gu Xixi directly said something like "we won't meet again in the future", he would be absolutely understandable.
No matter how affectionate he is, he will not refuse.
After all, she is now the high-ranking lady of the county magistrate and has a child.
However, it's good now, smart as a pity, and actually found this kind of extremely rotten excuse. And even if what Gu Xixi said was true, he Ye Shopkeeper would never accept it.
Marriage matters, he will never be as hasty as he was back then, and in the heart of Shopkeeper Ye, he doesn't want to have anything to do with the Gu family at all. No matter who Yao Wushuang is, or other conditions, but just one point, she is Gu Xixi's cousin, which is not good.
Shopkeeper Ye stood up suddenly, looked at Gu Xixi with a smile and said, "I don't know that Mrs. cares about contemptible people to this point!" should have been grateful, but the villain felt that he had achieved nothing and was not qualified to start a family, so he didn't have to worry about his wife. ”
Gu Xixi knew that Shopkeeper Ye would be angry, but he didn't expect him to be so angry, and he was a little stunned for a while, and he didn't know what to say.
Looking at the stunned Gu Xixi, a heartache similar to a perverted heartache rose in the heart of the shopkeeper Ye, and he added a "knife" and said: "In addition to the villain's lifelong events, I don't know what else Mrs. Zhixian has to tell to find the little one?" ”
was so angry that he blurted out such a sentence.
The logic of the shopkeeper Ye is very simple, since you call me the shopkeeper Ye, then I will call you Mrs. Zhixian. It's best if everybody gets things done.
Seeing the shopkeeper Ye like this, Gu Xixi sighed, although it was not her intention to end in this way, but it was okay to do this, but it saved her a lot of tongues.
After thinking about it, he said: "The young son in the family is getting older, and if he continues to be busy with the business of Jumbo Zhai, he will inevitably neglect to take care of and discipline him. Therefore, in the future, my cousin Yao Wushuang will be in charge of all the business of Jumbo Zhai on my behalf. You two can discuss everything, and you don't have to go back and forth to me. It's just that she's just a little girl who hasn't been deeply involved in the world, and I hope you will take care of her. ”
After speaking, Gu Xixi also stood up, bypassed the shopkeeper Ye who was standing at the door, and walked straight out of the door.
In Gu Xixi's opinion, it was no more ordinary, but at this moment, it turned into a sharp sword and inserted it into the heart of the shopkeeper Ye, and the knife saw blood, especially the sentence "The young son is getting older and neglects to discipline", which is simply heartfelt.
He Ye Yuntian's son still doesn't know the life and death, maybe he is not as good as a beggar, but what she cares about is the discipline of her and Bai Zhixian's son.
Sure enough, nothing can compare to the person in front of you.
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper Ye said "Wait", then walked in front of Gu Xixi, handed over the half of the jade jue that still had residual warmth, and then said: "Then, there will be no time in the future." ”
"No." Gu Xixi replied mechanically.
Seeing that Shopkeeper Ye walked away, Cuizhu, who had been in the dark, walked out and stepped forward to support Gu Xixi. No matter how much I endure it, the tears are like pearls with broken threads, and they keep dripping down.
Seeing that the master was so sad, Cuizhu was always indifferent, and even had a hint of happiness in Cuizhu's heart.
The love that should have been broken eleven years ago is still very scary to think about. If Bai Zhixian finds out something, it will really be over.
Now she can sleep peacefully.
As for the child, the Dark Guard had been secretly looking for him. When they find it, neither she nor the Qin family will be soft-hearted.
From now on, her brother was a little safer.
A few years ago, the Qin family forcibly took Cuizhu's younger brother to him on the grounds that Cuizhu took care of Gu Xixi's merits and followed his henchmen to do business. The people who didn't know what they were in looked at it, and they were very red-eyed, after all, they did business with Qin's henchmen, and some of them made money.
It's just that none of them know that working under the Qin clan needs to be on guard against "accidents" at all times. Cuizhu knew in her heart that if Bai Zhixian found something, then her younger brother would definitely have an "accident".
Now that she has witnessed it in person, Gu Xixi and Ye Yuntian have completely broken up.
After crying, Gu Xixi quickly recovered, after all, she had completely achieved her goal today. As for Shopkeeper Ye and Yao Wushuang, that's not something she needs to worry about.
Fate has always been magical, and it is not something that ordinary people can control.
From now on, she just cares about it, she is just the county lady.
Please forgive the Buddha, from today on, she has never fallen in love with this man named Ye Yuntian, and she has never given birth to children before she got married.
In this life, she has only given birth to two children for Bai Zhi County.
