Chapter 42 Riding the Crane to the West
Seeing that everyone had walked out, the old lady sighed in a low voice: "Fan'er, you really look like your mother, but your temperament is completely different from her, grandmother is leaving, whether it is good or bad in the future, your own way must always go by yourself, no matter how much others say, it is useless, when you were born, I went to the temple to ask the master for approval, the master said that your life is very expensive, and you will take good care of the Yue family in the future."
Having said that, where can Qianfan not understand what the old lady means, leaving the Yue family's big house is the old lady's biggest concern, and Qianfan can't let her die with regrets.
But the fragments of memory were connected into the painful scenes of the past, and after a moment of silence, Qian Fan's quiet voice was like a cold deep water close by, "Grandmother, Fan'er will definitely protect the Yue family well in the future, grandmother, you must take care." ”
The old lady thought that she had finally persuaded this stubborn child on her deathbed, but she forgot that the second room of the Yue family could one day represent the Yue family, and smiled with relief, "With your words, I will be relieved." ”
Qian Fan was sad for a while, lowered his head and wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and then looked up to see that the old man had closed his eyes with a smile.
"Grandmother." Qian Fan was shocked and hurriedly shouted, but the old man didn't react, Yue Chongshan and Yue Chongnan hurriedly walked in to see, this time, the old lady had indeed left.
As soon as the old lady left, the Yue Chongshan brothers were sad, and they suddenly seemed to be more than ten years old, but they also tried their best to let the old lady go in style.
In fact, in the previous life, the old lady did not survive this year, but it was because the eldest lady was secretly poisoned, so that she couldn't afford to stay sick, so she drove the crane to the west, and in this life, she was depressed because of the affairs of the big house.
According to the rules of Huangyuan Kingdom, when the relatives of the elders in the house die, the daughter's family must be filial piety for three years.
As soon as the old lady died, the daughter's family in the house had to keep filial piety for three years, and the family affairs had to be delayed, except for Yue Qing'er who had already made a marriage contract with the prince, Yue Zhu'er and Qianfan's marriage had to be put down temporarily.
Under Xia Er's conditioning, the eldest lady's complexion is getting better and better, and she saw from a distance which girl's house she always thought it was, not like a woman at all, and the eldest lady also paid more and more attention to Xia Er, and many things began to be discussed with her.
On this day, Qianfan was basking in the sun and reading a book in the yard, and Leng went to Qianfan's yard accompanied by the girl.
Qian Fan saw Leng coming over with his stomach up, so he hurriedly got up to meet him and said to Leng Shi, "Mother, why are you here?" If there's anything that calls me, it's that you're inconvenient and it's too dangerous to come and go. ”
"Silly girl, you can't stay in the room all day because you're pregnant with a child, you always have to come out to bask in the sun, and it's good for your body to move around a lot." Leng smiled and took Qianfan's hand and said: "Your eldest aunt came to me early this morning, saying that she wanted to take the ladies in the house to Qingyan Temple to incense the old lady, and she said that she knew that my body was too heavy to run, so let me ask Fan'er if you want to go." ”
"The eldest aunt said to make incense for my grandmother, and if I don't go, I don't know how she will arrange me outside," Qian Fan replied with a smile, "It's only a few hours away, just go." ”
The relationship between the eldest aunt and the eldest uncle is really getting worse and worse, so that the eldest aunt completely ignores the eldest uncle's order to ground her, it seems that the two of them don't even want to maintain the superficial respect, which is really good.
"You girl, no matter how many aunts you have, it's not something that your junior can judge." Leng deliberately straightened his face, patted Qianfan's head lightly, watched Qianfan stick out his tongue, and couldn't help laughing out loud with a naughty look: "If you go, let the girl clean up, your aunt will go out early tomorrow morning." ”
"Got it, mother." Qian Fan replied with a smile, looked at Cui Yan and said, "Cui Yan, send my mother back to the yard." She didn't worry about that poisonous woman, since she went to her mother's yard, she really had to let Cui Yan look around.
Cui Yan naturally understood what Qianfan meant, and respectfully followed the Leng family back to the courtyard, and came back not long after.
"How?" Qian Fan looked at Cui Yan and asked, "Is there anything wrong?" ”
"Nope." Cui Yan replied, "The slave and maid have looked around, and they have also carefully looked at the things used by the lady, and there is no problem. ”
Since Cuiyan knew that Qianfan could make incense, she often asked her some questions, and Qianfan simply taught her how to make incense, although Cuiyan was not as talented as Xia Er, but fortunately, she worked hard, and she learned a lot during this time.
"I don't think this incense will be so peaceful." Qian Fan smiled and said, "I killed his son, how could the eldest aunt let me go so easily, and now she is just looking for an excuse to trick me out." ”
"Then why did the young lady go?" Cui Yan asked strangely.
"Why not? It's almost moldy in the house, and I have to find something to do, and it's nice to see my aunt's angry face. ”
"Miss, why do you hate them so much?" Cui Yan wanted to ask Qianfan for a long time, but when he talked about it today, he said it unconsciously.
"Why?" Qian Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, watching the wind blow up the sky and rain, and didn't speak for a long time.
Just when Cui Yan thought that Qian Fan would not speak, Qian Fan opened his mouth softly: "Maybe it's the hatred of the previous life!" ”
Cui Yan was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, she didn't understand what Qianfan meant, and when she saw Qianfan's pensive face, she didn't speak.
Early the next morning, more than a dozen carriages were parked in front of Yue's house, and those girls were hurriedly preparing things to go to the incense, and all of them were ready before dawn.
When the old lady was alive, she always advocated diligence and thrift, so every time the Yue Mansion went out, she rarely attracted discussion, but the eldest lady was diametrically opposed.
In Qianfan's opinion, the eldest lady has been disciplined by the old lady for too long, so that after suddenly taking charge of the house, she can't wait to show her temperament.
However, this is also a very stupid approach, because in the eyes of those nobles, the old lady died before the moon, and this eldest lady was so flamboyant, which was really disrespectful to the deceased.
The eldest lady and Yue Zhu'er sat in the same car, Aunt Bing, Yue Ling'er and Yue Qing'er were in a carriage, Qianfan was the only daughter in the second room, so she naturally sat in a car by herself, and the girl and grandmother either followed the car or walked, plus Yue Chongnan was not worried about Qianfan, so he specially sent a team of people to protect it, which was very spectacular.
When the people on the street saw it, they couldn't help but talk about it, but for Qianfan, as long as no one came to disturb her, she didn't ask about these trivial things.
In the carriage, Cuiyan asked Chun'er curiously: "Chun'er, is the incense in Qingyan Temple very vigorous?" ”
Qianfan was flipping through the book, and without waiting for Chun'er to speak, he said to himself: "It's my negligence, you grew up in Waishu since you were a child, and it is estimated that you rarely go out with your unscrupulous master, let Chun'er take you to have a good shopping another day." ”
"Miss, that's not what the slave meant." Cui Yan hurriedly waved her hand and said, "The slave maid stayed by Miss's side to protect Miss, how can she leave Miss's side." ”
"Then take the young lady with you!" Cuiliu has completely changed from the shyness at the beginning to a different person, she knows that Qianfan will not care about these little things, and occasionally makes a few jokes.
"Come on, Miss still needs you to bring it!" Chun'er smiled and said: "Cuiyan, you don't know, the host of this Qingyan Temple turned out to be a family, and he was also a showman, but his wife and children passed away one after another, and he didn't want to remarry, so he stayed away from Hongchen and became a monk, and now he is about sixty years old." ”
"How can such a loving person see through the red dust?" Emerald Smoke muttered strangely.
When the abbot heard that the ladies of General Yue's mansion were going to come to offer incense, he took the monks early to greet him at the mountain gate.
In fact, the reason why the eldest lady went to tell the Leng family about the incense is that after Yue Chongshan was demoted, many people who praised the high and the low had less contact, and the eldest lady was afraid that she would be neglected in Qingyan Temple, so she would use the name of General Yue to offer incense.
When everyone got out of the carriage, the abbot folded his hands and bowed, and said, "Amitabha! It is a great honor for Mrs. to come to the mountain temple! ”
The eldest lady hurriedly replied and said, "The master is a high-ranking monk, and I am really ashamed to bother you to greet him personally." ”
The abbot said: "Madame has worked hard all the way, please come to the temple for tea!" ”
The eldest lady nodded and ordered, "Please get off the young ladies in the back." ”
All the way into the temple, the abbot has prepared a courtyard for the lady and miss, because of this incense, to stay in the temple for one night, so Yue Chongnan sent a lot of guards, special trip to surround the courtyard where the ladies lived, to ensure their safety.
The eldest lady asked for a special meditation room to recite the scriptures, so she instructed the others to rest first, Qianfan was unwilling to talk to Yue Zhu'er in a fake way, so she left Chun'er and Dong'er to clean up the room, and she took Cuiyan and Cuiliu out of the courtyard, along the gravel path between the mountains, leisurely enjoying the scenery.
On the other side, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Luo Lang Shi and Nalan Minhao also arrived at the temple.
The old abbot hurriedly came out to greet him, and the prince smiled: "Don't be polite, the prince wants to come and enjoy the scenery of Qingyan Temple, the palace will take him around, abbot, you can do it at will." ”
These three were all noble, and the abbot dared to ignore what the prince said, and immediately ordered the monks to take them to visit.
Walking along these halls, Nalan Minhao looked bored, but because of the pure land of Buddhism, he didn't say anything, bypassing the Luohan Palace, Nalan Minhao pointed to a gravel path and asked, "Where does this road go?" ”
"If you go back to the world, this road is the road to the top of Qingyan Mountain," the monk replied respectfully.
"Then let's go up and have a look!" After Nalan Minhao finished speaking, he didn't care whether they were willing or not, and left slowly.
The prince smiled bitterly, what he hated the most was climbing the mountain, but Nalan Minhao suddenly turned around and asked, "The ladies and ladies of General Yue's Mansion came to offer incense today, right?" ”<
