Chapter 1 Delusion
Cuimei looked ignorant, obviously unintelligible, Tian Jiang didn't say more, only asked her to bring the basket over, Cuimei simply put her own on the table, and then raised her hand to cut the candle and drop the lamp, the two sat face to face, and used the light to do needlework.
Cuimei saw Tian Jiang with a small shoe, white silk soles and willow yellow satin surface, pine flowers and green threads to lock the edges, and the colorful butterflies on the tips of the shoes were only embroidered with half wings, which was very delicate and beautiful. She smiled and said, "Madame must be making shoes for Xiaoyue, and I have this one for Yuanbao." “
Tian Jiang heard the words and took a closer look, the water-colored bottom bamboo green silk surface, the autumn fragrance color thread lock edge, the tip of the shoe embroidered is a fat tiger head, it looks very festive, and it looks good.
The two of them made shoes, and Cuimei asked, "Madame will also go to Jinling together?" If so, you have to start preparing the cage in the next few days. ”
Tian Jiang twisted the silk thread, and only after a while did he whisper: "I won't hide it from you, Second Master Shen is suffering in Zhao Prison, how can I leave Beijing, but I have to do it, and the cage has to be packed." ”
Cuimei heard it in a fog, but she didn't ask much, just nodded and agreed, she was sent by Mrs. Xu of the Liang State Mansion to serve Tian Jiang, and she was a very measured and loyal maid.
After two o'clock, there was a sound of feet and feet in the corridor, Xichun came as promised, took out a stack of letterheads from the sleeve cage and held it, Tian Jiang ordered Mama Tao to take it, and instructed Cai Rong to take Xichun to eat some tea fruits in the bright room while watching, and then ask her to ask questions after seeing it.
Tian Jiang opened the letterhead and looked at it carefully, and then folded it carefully according to the original fold print, all of which were gray words such as the second master Zhao Zhao suffering in prison and Shen Fu coming to the door, but he couldn't see the side of it, and he had to open it to the last letter, and he saw that it was written: "Qin Shangshu and I are talking about wine today, and Shen Ge Lao was tortured in prison from the morning, and then increased to one time in the evening, ten strokes of the stick, twenty knocks, miserable, the emperor did not dare to act recklessly because of the fear of the officials and the people, but the patience was lost, if Shen Ge Lao endured only half a sentence of relief, Shen Fu will be full of copied and beheaded." I hope to spread this word to the whole house to know, although it is the same forest bird, the catastrophe is coming, and they need to fly separately. ”
Qin Shangshu ...... Qin Yanzhao wanted to do something demon moth, Tian Jiang straightened his face, his eyebrows were silent for a long time, Fang ordered Xichun to enter the room, still returned the stack of letters to her, and said slowly: "I have wronged you, these original ones are still put aside, so as not to be suspicious of the eldest lady, you don't have to chew the root of your tongue in front of her, and those who want to enter the nunnery as a sister-in-law are most taboo to be unclean in front of you." ”
Seeing Xichun crying and agreeing to come down, he ordered Cai Rong to send her out.
Cai Rong sent her all the way to the gate of the courtyard, looked around at no one, sighed and said: "I don't do anything bad in my life, why am I afraid that the ghost will knock on the door in the middle of the night, the second lady will not frame you for nothing, who will let the righteous and bright things, you hide and hide yourself, and attract suspicion." Don't stop crying, your eyes are swollen and swollen, you are about to ask when you are seen by the eldest lady or Brother Lin, you have to lie again, why bother! “
"They are all too busy to take care of themselves, how can they have the energy to care about my life and death?" Xichun wiped away her tears, suddenly grabbed her arm, and asked, "Where is Commander Shen now?" ”
"Where do I know where he is?" Cai Rong was stunned, "What did you ask him to do?" ”
"You don't know, the second lady must know, read the sisters, you will help me this time in the end." Xichun grabbed her arm and said hurriedly: "I regret it now, I want to ask Commander Shen if you still want me?" If I don't dislike it, I'm willing to serve him as a cow and a horse......."
Cai Rong's expression was like a ghost: "You are Brother Lin's aunt, how can you think of Commander Shen to Qin Dusk Chu?" What's more, there are many handsome and innocent girls in the house who are happy with him......."
Xichun's eyes dimmed: "Where is the aunt, I haven't walked the road, and many girls in the house still call me a girl in person........ A few days ago, the eldest lady drove me away and asked my mother to find a good family outside, which is better than waiting for death here. She paused slightly, and then said, "I know that Commander Shen has me in his heart, and he is the most affectionate ...... What's more, those guards, Zhang Hong married a widow, Ni Zhong's wife was ten years older than him, and Li Shun's wife was a prostitute, and their martial arts practitioners were handsome and innocent ........"
Cai Rong turned around sullenly, and while she was waiting for Tian Jiang to sleep, she said something.
Tian Jiang frowned, Cuimei saw that her face was not pale, and hurriedly gave Cai Rong a look, and only after exiting the curtain did she whisper: "Why do you still bother her with these things?" The second master is in trouble, the owner of the fifth house in the house does not stop all day long, and she is pregnant with twins, which is difficult enough. Mo said that she didn't know the whereabouts of Commander Shen, but she knew, according to her temperament, how could she trap Brother Lin in injustice and go to get along with him (her), not to mention Xichun's self-righteous ingenuity, which really made people look down on her. ”
Cai Rong's face was swollen and red, and she didn't sleep well all night, until she got up at dawn the next day, and called a rough girl Wan'er and asked her to give Xichun a word, Wan'er was not very happy: "Sister go by yourself or find someone else, I just swept the front porch clean, and my back and legs hurt tightly." “
Cai Rong couldn't, took out two copper coins to lure, Wan'er reluctantly ran away for it, Baba waited for her to come back, and asked Xichun what she could say, then Wan'er just brought the words, thinking that Xichun seemed to say something and didn't say anything, she didn't go to her heart, so naturally she couldn't speak, so she simply waved her hand and ran away.
Cai Rong has never met Xichun since then, and then there is news about her, because I heard that she went out of the house with a solid family, and she had children and daughters.
...............................
The eldest lady He Shi was determined to beg to be a sister-in-law, but there were still people who often went to persuade each other, but they all turned a deaf ear, and they were anxious to cry and scold, and they wanted to die or live, and they threw away the virtuous and virtuous appearance of the past, and the people who persuaded them gradually decreased, only Brother Lin came to him from time to time to say a few words. She didn't even want to see Brother Lin.
Tian Jiang sent the maid to take the post and invite her mother's family to come over, and there was only a message: "The water spilled by the married girl is not good to meddle in these idle matters." “
Old Madam Shen was helpless, and her body and bones were ill again.
Tian Jiang then made a decision, opened the empty Ciyun Nunnery, let people clean it, and then hung the new flags and curtains, lit candles in front of the case of Guanyin Dashi, offered offerings, and raised high incense, and ordered the mother-in-law to keep the incense every night and night, choose a good day and auspicious day, go to the first Yuanhui of the Baiyi Nunnery and invite her into the mansion, and tell her that Mrs. Shen is obsessed, and allow the He family to become a monk in the Ciyun Nunnery in the house, but she can go with her, and the right is to preach in Yunyou, and the dozens of boxes of gifts that have been prepared, intentionally or unintentionally, pass under her nose.
The Yuanhui sister-in-law happily agreed, and then chose the time, in front of the Guanyin Master of Ciyun Nunnery, knocked on the wooden fish to chant the Buddha Sutra, and when the high incense and green smoke were charming, she shaved her head, gave him a legal name, called Juejing, and when everything was in order, she left.
This is exactly what it is:
All appearances are vain. If you see things that are not like each other, you will see them as they are.
