Chapter Twenty-Nine: Shelling (I)

Her hand stopped embarrassingly half an inch away from Mu Wanqiu's cheek, and the feeling of being pinched by Mu Wanqiu's five fingers like iron tongs that day was still in front of her, and she glared at Mu Wanqiu angrily, her mouth deflated.

Mu Wanqiu also opened her eyes at the same time, looking at each other, Mu Wanqiu glanced at her hand coldly, and Xu Ru quickly hid her hand behind her back.

Slowly, Mu Wanqiu closed her eyes again and ignored her.

"You speak...... Thinking about the people in the carriage in front of him, Xu Ru's heart was like grass, and he couldn't bear the boundless silence in the carriage, so he sat upright for less than half an hour, and shouted again.

"You're too noisy......" Mu Wanqiu's eyelids didn't move.

"You ......" Xu Ru blushed and looked at her, and suddenly smiled, "It's useless for you to fall in love with him, my father said, he will propose to me in a few days, and he will marry me to him." Xu Ru said complacently.

Her father is the prefect, an official as big as the sky, and there is nothing that cannot be done.

The corners of her mouth moved slightly, and Mu Wanqiu snorted secretly, "His marriage is not your father's decision......"

"Tell you, I passed the door, and I will never allow her to take a concubine!" Staring at Mu Wanqiu, who looked indifferent, Xu Ru said fiercely.

In her eyes, this little girl tried her best to show off her piano skills in front of Li Jun that night, just to climb into his bed and be his concubine. Of course, Xu Ru thinks that Mu Wanqiu's humble status is something that he can't think of as a wife.

“…… Congratulations to the eldest lady on tying the knot with him as soon as possible. Mu Wanqiu's voice was faint, like a glass of tepid water.

It was a blessing word, but because the person who said it was too calm, Xu Ru was particularly harsh to hear, I don't know why, obviously there was a humble pariah, a dark and thin little girl in front of her, she couldn't compare with her proud girl in the sky, she didn't need to care about it at all, but she was extremely annoyed by Mu Wanqiu's demure and indifference that seemed to see through the red dust.

She never found that it turned out to be quiet to the extreme, and it was also a kind of publicity.

Why is she not like those people around her, who bow down to herself and make promises?

Is it because she has a huge amount of money?

The thought flashed, Xu Ru suddenly remembered her father's instructions before coming, she smiled coldly, "You don't have to be proud, my father said ......"

The sound stopped abruptly.

Her father said that he would take Bai Qiu as a concubine and ask her to take a good look at her along the way.

Swallowing the words in his mouth alive, Xu Ru was still a little unwilling, thinking of the miserable life of his father's concubines who had fallen out of favor in the backyard of the prefect's yamen, so he clenched his fists tightly and said secretly, "Let you be proud for a while, and when you fall out of favor, see if you don't kneel and beg me!" ”

Feeling that the air was cold, Mu Wanqiu opened her eyes vigilantly, and the scene of Xu Ru gritting her teeth fell into her eyes, and said secretly, "...... It seems that Master Xu really didn't plan to let me go! ”

……

Outside Xiangyun Temple, pilgrims are crowded.

After getting out of the carriage, Mu Wanqiu saw that Li Jun's carriage had already stopped there, and he stood quietly beside the carriage.

Mu Wanqiu slowly stepped forward to salute.

“…… This is Xiangyun Temple, the white girl wants to incense, and she goes in. He glanced at Xu Ru, who helped the maid Shanshan get out of the car, "I quit......"

She just touched up her makeup in the car, delayed for a while, and didn't want to hear Li Jun leaving as soon as she got out of the car, Xu Ru couldn't be reserved, and rushed forward in a few steps, "...... Li Gongzi is leaving? ”

The tone was full of nostalgia.

"Xiangyun Temple has arrived,......" Li Jun bowed slightly.

"This ......" Xu Ru showed a little hesitation, "Since you are here, Li Gongzi might as well accompany Ru'er to go in and pay respects......"

Her voice was timid, with a bit of reserve, and any man would not refuse if he listened.

"The white girl has already entered......" Li Jun glanced at Mu Wanqiu, who was about to reach the temple gate.

Xu Ru was excited, she suddenly remembered the important task assigned by her father, and hurriedly glanced at Jade, Jade hurriedly chased after her, Xu Ru gave Li Jun a light blessing, "Li Gongzi doesn't want to go in, just wait outside for a while, Ru'er will come when she goes." ”

Li Jun glanced at her noncommittally.

"A child of a prestigious family like him always has to be a little reserved, and if he doesn't say anything like this, he just responds to the ......" Seeing that Li Jun didn't speak, Xu Ru thought self-righteously, smiled at him charmingly, and hurriedly entered the temple with the little maid.

Contrary to the hustle and bustle outside the door, the temple is extremely quiet, and the sound of wooden fish that is not hurried or slow or slow adds a few mysteries, several solemnity and solemnity to the temple.

Seeing Mu Wanqiu reverently put on the three pillars of incense and stood up, Xu Ru followed behind her, ordered the three sticks of incense indiscriminately, turned her head and dragged her to go out.

Li Gongzi is still waiting outside!

saw Mu Wanqiu drag her to the little monk at the door, and clasped her hands together, "...... May I ask the little master, this temple can have a scripture hall, I want to chant the scriptures. ”

"Amitabha Buddha ......" The little monk clasped his hands together, "The donor chanted the sutra and asked the poor monk to come and ......"

“…… The incense is all on, what scriptures are still chanted! Xu Ru's tone was quite impatient, and she dragged Mu Wanqiu and dragged her out.

“…… Miss, in front of the Bodhisattva, be respectful. Gently breaking away from her, Mu Wanqiu said calmly.

"Amitabha Buddha ......" the little monk bowed to Xu Ru and folded his hands, "The donor is impatient, please ...... yourself"

Seeing Xu Ru's contemptuous tone, the little monk mercilessly picked people up.

Brush, brush, brush, the eyes of the pilgrims instantly fell on Xu Ru.

Xu Ru's face swelled into a purple eggplant, her lips squirmed, and she wanted to say something, thinking that this was the temple after all, in front of the Bodhisattva, she couldn't tolerate her presumptuousness, and the words were stuck in her throat. Turning her head to look at the gate of the temple, among the endless stream of pilgrims, she couldn't see Li Jun's shadow at all, she had the heart to go out to have a look, and then turned around and found that Mu Wanqiu was gone, and her heart sank.

She's not going to run through the back door, is she?

As soon as the thought flashed, Xu Ru raised her legs and chased after her, went out of the side door, and saw Mu Wanqiu from a distance with one foot in the door and one foot outside the door, stepping into a small scripture hall in the backyard, she let out a sigh of relief.

“…… There is no ignorance, there is no end to ignorance, there is no old age and death, and there is no old age and death. There is no suffering to gather and destroy the Tao, and there is no wisdom to gain ......" Mu Wanqiu knelt quietly on the futon, her eyes slightly closed, and she reverently recited.

Covered in lice, Xu Ru's body, kneeling beside Mu Wanqiu, kept writhing, looking back at the quiet courtyard outside the scripture hall from time to time, and then looking at Mu Wanqiu, who seemed to have entered a state of selflessness.

What are she waiting for?!
