Chapter 35: The Uninvited Guest

Shen Chuyao was talking about the plum blossom painting scroll, Mu Mingshu deliberately asked people to send her the painting scroll, but she couldn't laugh at the small words on it. The ink on the scroll is very new, obviously a new work, whether it is painting skills or handwriting, Shen Chuyao can recognize it as Zhao Yiyi's. But why Zhao Yiyi's new painting was sent to her from Mu Mingshu's hands, the curves here are worth studying.

Now that she knew that something was wrong, Shen Chuyao scratched her heart and lungs to know what was going on, and secretly investigated it, but the results she got made her even more angry. After the holy decree came down, the most injured person was her Shen Chuyao, Zhao Yiyi not only did not come forward to comfort and comfort her, but also personally painted a painting to Mu Mingshu, congratulating her on being named the county lord.

Although Shen Chuyao didn't find out this matter with Zhao Yiyi, she kept it in her heart, she understood that this was just a small ploy by Mu Mingshu, so she had to treat it as if she didn't have it, but this didn't mean that she was treating Mu Mingshu well, so what she said was not very good.

Ruowan, the eldest queen of the governor of Guangxi, was also a clear person, and she didn't say anything when she heard the words, but she became more and more disdainful of Shen Chuyao in her heart, if it weren't for her mother being sisters to her mother, she definitely didn't want to associate with such people.

Everyone entered the Hongfa Temple one after another, and the maids and women sent things to the side room where they rested, and the masters went into the main hall to burn incense and worship.

Liu led the three girls of the Mu family to kneel on the futon, closed their eyes and prayed sincerely, and then picked up the stick holder and slowly shook out a stick.

Mu Mingshu also shook out a bamboo stick like her, she didn't believe in these things, if it was really useful, how could that person live so hard in this life.

Her white fingers picked up the bamboo skewers that fell on the ground, and before she could see the words on them, she heard a sneer: "Sister Mu family, are you asking for marriage?" ”

You don't have to look up to know whose voice this mean voice is coming from.

Liu looked sideways and saw Shen Chuyao, who was dressed in luxury, her expression was very displeased, she stood up calmly, and spoke as an elder: "Whose child is this who is shouting in the quiet place of Buddhism." ”

Shen Chuyao's originally smiling face suddenly changed, and she snorted coldly: "I'm seventeen years old this year, and I don't even have a decent family affair, if I don't ask for marriage, are I still going to be an old girl at home for a lifetime?" ”

She just wants to step on Mu Mingshu's sore feet, whoever makes her unhappy, she will not let others have a good time.

"Thank you for this girl's concern, our girls can't tolerate sand in their eyes, even if they are old girls for a lifetime, it's better than starving and ruining people's marriages." Liu's face is straight, and there is a sense that the adults in your family don't teach you, and I will teach you for them.

Shen Chuyao was so angry that her silver teeth squeaked, and she was hungry and ruined her marriage.

Wang Ruowan, who was following behind Shen Chuyao, saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly came out to solve the siege: "I'm sorry for this lady, my cousin can't speak, and I hope that you Haihan, don't worry about her." He pulled Shen Chuyao's sleeve again: "Cousin Chuyao, do you remember what your aunt said, don't delay your business." ”

Shen Chuyao pursed her lips when she heard this, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, old pious woman." "In the end, the juniors don't dare to say it out loud.

Wang Ruowan's eyebrows moved, her own maid walked to the front of the desk, twisted three incense sticks, lit it, and then handed it to Shen Chuyao.

Shen Chuyao took the incense, knelt on the futon on her forehead and bowed deeply three times, and then asked the maid to present it and insert it into the incense burner.

No one knew what she muttered, and probably no one would be curious, Liu took the three girls of the Mu family and turned around and went out, only Mu Mingshu turned his head to look, but saw that her eyebrows were frowning and she was slightly uncomfortable, kneeling on the futon uprightly, standing with her hands clasped on her abdomen.

Mu Mingshu hooked his lips and smiled mockingly, with coldness between his eyebrows.

Liu took the three girls of the Mu family out of the main hall, and then looked for the monk who had unsigned the sign.

The monk who unsigned took the sign between Liu and Mu Mingshu, took the sign, and then sat down and stroked a goatee, and said with a peaceful smile: "This lady is signed, but this young lady's is signed." ”

Then he asked, "Is it Madame's first solution or Miss's first solution?" ”

Mu Mingshu naturally gave it to Liu Shi first, and the monk asked her unceremoniously what she wanted, so he twisted his goatee and looked at Liu Shi, and said: "There must be a fate sometimes, and there is no time to force a fate. After speaking, he performed another Buddha salute and muttered, "Amitabha." ”

"Thank you, Master." Liu's hands folded together and he gestured towards the monks, who originally had some hope, but he didn't think about it at this moment. She has a gray face, like a frosted eggplant, and she has only given birth to a daughter after so many years, and she doesn't need others to say that she knows that she must be a weak child. But it's one thing to know in your own heart, and it's another thing to know from these masters.

That's why I chose to come to Hongfa Temple, but also because the sign I asked for here was the most effective, Liu sighed silently, and said that he was afraid that his husband would not be delayed in finding a concubine.

When the monk spoke, Mu Mingshu kept staring at him, but she saw that he looked calm and his conversation was clear, and even she almost thought that what the monk said was straightforward, but when she saw the trace of unnaturalness when he bumped into her gaze, it was only fleeting, and Mu Mingshu also had a bottom in her heart.

"The master also wants to help me see this lot." Mu Mingshu smiled lightly, his apricot eyes were clear, and his affinity increased greatly, making the old monk think that Fang Cai's gaze that hit the bottom of his heart was an illusion.

He coughed lightly, picked up the wisp of goatee, and said, "I wonder what the girl is asking for?" ”

"Marriage."

"It doesn't take much effort to break through the iron shoes and find nowhere to get them, the girl is full of heaven, the earth is round, she must be a rich and noble person, her husband and wife are honorable, and her children are surrounded by ......"

Before the monk could finish speaking, Mu Mingshu interrupted rudely: "Master, there was once a monk who gave a little girl a life, he said that my Yintang was black, full of evil spirits, and I was a lonely star that day, and I had no husband and no children in my life, and I ended up with a bad death at a young age......

Her voice was very soft, as if she was saying something ordinary again, but the aura emanating from her body was like the hellish ghost Shura, which made people feel involuntarily scary.

Liu's color changed when he heard this, and he was about to speak, when he saw Mu Mingshu giving him a look, so he stopped. Liu couldn't hear Mu Mingshu say these words, and didn't say whether there was a high-ranking monk who gave Mu Mingshu an order, as far as Mu Mingshu said this, it shouldn't be said by a teenage girl, what is the difference between this and cursing herself.

The old monk couldn't help but shudder, and pulled the corners of his mouth to reveal a smile that was not very good-looking: "Girl, where is this a high-ranking monk, he is clearly a liar." ”

"Oh? So what does the master think is not a liar? Mu Mingshu's smile was still as warm as the spring breeze in March, touching the warm jade bracelet on his hand that he had just worn for the first time today, with a calm and breezy look: "A person like a master? ”

"Wearing the robe of a monk but doing something that has lost his conscience, alas, I don't know where the monk who has attained the Tao is practicing, if he is really rich and noble, he will definitely let people go to the place where he practiced." Still with a breezy expression, Mu Mingshu snorted lightly: "The county lord is also the one who dares to give orders to such a bald donkey." ”

It was clearly said that it was another monk, but the monk who had unsigned the sign had cold sweat on his forehead; It was obviously a little girl's mouth that said casually, but the monk who had unsigned the sign felt cold all around. This feeling is really not good, I think he is old, but he is a little girl's temperament.

The old monk coughed lightly, touched his sweat silently, and did not answer Mu Mingshu's words, but said: "Madam, Miss, the sign has been solved, and it is time for the poor monk to do lunch class, so please take care of yourself." ”

Put your hands together and chant a Buddhist word, turn around and disappear from everyone's sight.

Mu Mingluo frowned and spat at the back of the green-clothed monk's robe: "This old bald donkey wants to cheat some incense money." ”

This sentence "old bald donkey" was just learned from Mu Mingshu, and no one answered her when she said this.

Liu looked at Mu Mingshu with deep eyes, his mind turned back and forth, but he didn't know what to say.

Instead, Mu Mingshu sneered: "What's wrong with aunt." ”

"Don't take my words seriously, a person like this who wears a monk's robe to swagger and deceive, if you don't say a few cruel words to scare and scare him, where can you debunk it."

After a long time, Liu had to sigh lowly, and reached out to gently caress Mu Mingshu's bright face: "Mingshu, you have really grown up." ”

Mu Mingshu smiled, but didn't speak, growth comes at a price.

Because of the unsigning, the Liu family was not in the mood to listen to Zen, so he simply took the three girls of the Mu family back to the meditation room to rest. The wife of the servant of the Ministry of Justice, Yu Shi, has also arrived, but the Zen room in their house is still some distance from the Mu family, so Yu sent the big girl Qingqing next to him to ask for peace from Liu, and said that Yu is in the main hall at this time, and he will go to listen to Zen for a while, but he is afraid that he will not have time to visit Liu until after noon.

Liu pulled the corners of his lips and said, "It's okay, there will be a release meeting in the temple in the afternoon, and I will wait for her at Wansheng Lake then." ”

Qingqing got the word and left with a smile.

After eating the fast at noon and resting for a while, the Liu family led the three girls of the Mu family to Wansheng Lake.

It was only the beginning of the first month, and it had snowed for so many days a while ago, and although it had melted now, it was still very cold, and the wind on the lake blew and made people shiver.

Mu Mingshu is wearing a lilac-colored emerald brocade feather satin cloak today, leaning on a stone bench paved with cotton pads in the lake pavilion, and sitting next to her is Mu Mingluo wearing an azure brocade fur cloak, and Mu Mingxiao is wearing a red satin embroidered robe like a New Year's doll.

It was when the three sisters of their own family were talking together, but there were two inappropriate two people standing in front of them.

One is Shen Chuyao, who wore a brocade inlaid silver ratskin cloak after the eight happy reunions, and the other is Wang Ruowan who wore a water-red cloud silk cloak.
