Not long after entering the meditation room of the old lady of the Li family, it began to rain outside the house, mixed with a burst of lightning and thunder, and the Lin family and others sitting under the porch couldn't help but speed up their pace.

Seeing the storm outside, the little maid waiting under the corridor hurriedly put down the hanging bamboo curtain to block the rain flying in from outside the corridor, and added sesame oil from the oil lamp hanging under the corridor to provide continuous lighting for the Lin family.

The little maid who had guided the Lin family and them before took the Lin family and the others to the three-way intersection, and handed it over to another little maid who was waiting, and then turned back along the way they came.

Xiyue is a first-class maid who waits beside the old lady of the Li family, and she is dressed differently from other maids, the other little maids are dressed as a sister-in-law, but Xiyue is dressed as a maid. Wearing a light blue gown, the gown is also embroidered with a passion flower pattern, the corner of the skirt is also falling with large and small glazed stones, a simple comb snake bun, wearing a blue cloud bead hairpin, the bead hairpin is also inlaid with a huge and full pearl.

Xiyue smiled and showed the way to Lin and the others, she was thin, without the plump of the little maid who led the way before, and she walked much faster than Lin and the others.

"Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Feng, for so many years, my family members have always avoided guests, and the two old ladies have met guests for the first time in more than ten years. The layman said that he had been waiting for the two of you for a long time, and he finally looked forward to the two of you. Xiyue led the way in front, but turned her head back from time to time and chatted with Mrs. Lin and Feng Lao'an, who followed behind.

"Li Jushi knew we were coming early in the morning?" Lin was curious, so he asked Xiyue, who was walking in front.

"Old Madam Lin, my family scholar is good at arithmetic, and the matter of you and Feng Lao'an's coming over today, my family scholar settled it a year ago. It's just that the time when Mrs. Lin came over tonight is still a moment worse than the time calculated by my household soldier. "Xiyue is also telling the truth, without the slightest deception.

The old lady of the Li family, the Lin family has more or less heard of some things about her. She is the eldest sister of the old lady of the Li family, she has been good at arithmetic since she was a child, and she is not a problem with medical divination and astrology. It's just that Mrs. Li picked many people, and none of them got into her eyes.

Thirty years ago, the old lady of the Li family went to the Xianyuan Temple outside the city by chance, and she became attached to the Shangshan Taoist in the view, and became a closed disciple of the Shangshan Taoist, and then realized the Tao. She has been a vegetarian since the day she attained enlightenment, and it has been more than 30 years now.

As soon as the families who were originally going to marry the old lady of the Li family heard that the eldest lady of the Li family had become a layman who led the practice, they immediately broke off the relationship with the Li family, and since then there have been many fewer people who come to the door to say goodbye. But there are also some who went to Buddhist temples and Taoist temples to become monks and Taoists in order to pursue the old ladies of the Li family.

The people also once passed that the old lady of the Li family is one of the incarnations of Guanyin Bodhisattva in the red dust, and will tell fortunes to people, calculate the past and present lives, and calculate the past and future. It's a pity that it's just a rumor, and not many people will believe such a bizarre and strange thing.

Lin didn't expect that the old lady of the Li family actually calculated early in the morning that she would come to visit tonight, although the Lin family has never believed in these rumors of strange powers, but in the world, there are always things that he has not seen and experienced. But how can you tell clearly whether it is true or false?

A moment later, the Lin family and the others arrived outside the meditation room where the old lady of the Li family was. After Xiyue went in to report, the old lady of the Li family sent someone to invite the Lin family and others in.

The layout in the Zen room is very simple, there is a row of lotus embroidered futons in front of the Buddha, and the old lady of the Li family is sitting on one of them at the moment, her hair and eyebrows have turned white, but she is still vibrant, and she does not see that she is over 90 years old.

"Grandmother, these three are Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Feng from the Gu family next door, and Mrs. Cai, they said that the three girls of their family and the little prince of the Dingwu Marquis Mansion broke into the bamboo forest behind our house, and they wanted to ask someone to go in to find it. Because the lord stipulated that no idle people were allowed to go in, the granddaughter-in-law came over to ask you what the old man meant. The eldest lady of the Li family, who was still arrogant and looked like a housewife, had to bow her head in front of the majestic old lady of the Li family.

The old lady of the Li family didn't speak, opened her eyes with only one slit left, and called Xiyue next to her to help her up, she took a good look at the Lin family and the others who came in with the eldest lady of the Li family, and finally stopped at Feng Lao'anren, and said slowly: "I know you, you are the daughter-in-law Feng who married the second child of the Gu family, the second child of the Gu family has been gone for so many years, and you are pulling the two children alone, it's not easy!" ”

Feng Lao'an's eyes were not very good, and then the light in the room was dark and bright, and now he could see the old lady of the Li family in front of him clearly, and she had also seen the old lady of the Li family, but it was many years ago. When she first married Gu Fu, she glanced at the old lady of the Li family from a distance in the alley, because the old lady of the Li family was born better than others, she remembered it for so many years.

"Old Madam Li, after so many years, things are already different. Thank you for so many years. Feng Lao'an said, and tightened the hand of the old lady of the Li family in front of him, the old lady of the Li family's hands were very rough, and her skin was also very loose, like a dead branch to the touch.

"I used to see you as a little girl, but now you have become an old girl. It can be seen how fast we people age? I heard that your family is the third girl and the little prince of the Dingwu Marquis Mansion broke into the bamboo forest, and there are good Taoists in the bamboo forest who have set up a maze array, and there is no formation map, even if you go in, you will only get lost in it. The old lady of the Li family said, and instructed the evening moon beside her.

"Go and take out the array diagram in my box and give it to the old lady of the Feng family. Also, call a few small people in our house, the bamboo forest is spacious, and you will also go to find people. As she spoke, the old lady of the Li family began to cough. In the end, the cough was out of control, and the little maid brought several bowls of water over, and drank the water before it was completely suppressed.

"Let me make you laugh, I'm an old problem, out of the way. After so many years, I have survived like this, and after another year and a half, I will almost have to go to see my ancestors. As soon as the old lady of the Li family finished speaking, her flabby face showed a faint smile.

When others mention death, they will always complain, but when she mentions death, she even shows a smile.

The old lady of the Li family has lived for such an age, and she has already seen life and death very thoroughly. Some people are not happy when they are alive, and it is a relief to die.

"Grandmother, you're talking kid nonsense again. The good people have said that you are a person who wants to live a long life, and you are only ninety-three this year, but you are still deaf and clear-sighted, where will you go down to see your ancestors in a year and a half. It's not time yet, and the Ancestor doesn't want to see you. As soon as Mrs. Li finished speaking, she commanded the little maid who was waiting beside her in the next sentence.

"Go and ask the steward to bring the leaf card, it just so happens that so many ladies and wives are here today, so you can accompany your grandmother to play the leaf card!" The last few words of Mrs. Li were said to the Lin family and Feng Lao'an.

"Old Madam Lin, Old Madam Feng, I wonder if you two can play the leaf card? My grandmother knew this when she was young, and now that she is old, she also went out every now and then to invite someone to play leaf cards with my grandmother. Because of the taboo on our Li family, the people outside release water every time, so I guess you two shouldn't release water, right?" Mrs. Li said, personally helping the Lin family and Feng Lao'an to sit on the prepared card table.
