Chapter 144: Dongxia has long since died
The housekeeper said: "Yes, that is the eldest lady of our family, and the master is a twin brother and sister, died at the age of six, because of her young age, and she is a girl, and she has not entered the ancestral grave of the ancestral hall." ”
The more Ping Yan thought about it, the more horrified she became, when she mentioned Dongxia's appearance that day, why did Yi Fengjun veto that he had no twin sisters? And it's not a shameless thing. Is there such a coincidence in the world? How can two unrelated people look so similar? Or is Dongxia his sister?
"Butler, please forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, did Miss Guifu really go when she was a child? Is there a chance of resurrection? ”
The housekeeper said firmly: "Impossible, I watched the burial of our young lady in Guangling with my own eyes, and if there is really such a miracle, our old lady will not die of depression because of the weight of her daughter." ”
"Guangling? But in Mingfu City, Jiangbei? ”
"Yes, that is the Yi family's hometown, and then after the first master, the master took over the Yi family's business, ran all over the country, and slowly moved the family to Qingyuan Town."
Ping Yan asked again, "It's inconvenient for you to tell me why Miss died young?" ”
The housekeeper pinched his sleeves and wiped his eyes, bringing out a turbid redness, "I don't know what's going on, I just heard the first master mention a few words, saying that the young lady was stubborn, and accidentally offended a young master of a powerful family, and he was beaten to death." ”
After leaving the Yi Mansion, Tan'er asked in surprise, "Miss Yi's experience is certainly heavy, but is there any problem?" Why is my sister so interested? ”
Ping Yan said abruptly: "It's also a strange thing, I also met a sister when I was in Qingzhou, named Dongxia, who was the maid of the Shen family's grandmother, and she was eight points similar to Master Yi, like twins." But one day I made fun of Master Yi about this, but he said that he never had a sister. Isn't it strange that he deliberately concealed this? ”
Tan'er said: "Maybe he doesn't want to mention the old things anymore, so he can save himself from sentimentality, maybe he can't say." ”
Ping Yan didn't think so, and took it all the way and brought the questions back to the house. happened to see Xiyue and a few girls walking in the Orthodox Xizong, she had the heart to ask Dongxia, so she stepped forward and said, "Miss Xiyue, can I ask you about something?" ”
Xiyue picked up Xizong, lowered her face, glanced at her with contempt, and said in a rampant tone, "Good dogs don't get in the way, we're leaving." He said and slammed through it.
Tan'er couldn't be angry, "You! ”
Ping Yan was pale and invisible, "You said before that Dongxia went back to her hometown to serve her twin sister, but it's been more than half a year, and she hasn't come back, but what happened?" Is there any news coming? ”
Xiyue knew that she had a very close relationship with Dongxia, so she turned around and smiled weirdly: "Dongxia, she died a few months ago. ”
Ping Yan's heart jumped a few times, and she said coldly: "What did you say! ”
Xiyue was really taken aback, and felt very relieved and happy, so she looked like she was watching from the wall, and said with a strange smile: "I said, Dongxia, she is dead, isn't she your good sister?" Your good sister is dead. ”
Ping Yan rushed up and grabbed her wrist, "Dead?" How did she die? ”
Xiyue was so frightened that she pushed her with her hands and feet, and she staggered to the ground, but was held by Tan'er. Xiyue screamed, "How did you die?" Didn't you kill you yet? You are an ominous person, you killed your parents, killed the people around you, and killed the second young master! You poisonous woman, you are the most damned person! She said to the irritating place, stuffed Xizong to a girl next to her, and stepped forward to choke her neck with red eyes, but was split by Tan'er's palm.
Her tears were like broken beads, and she fell violently, glancing at Ping Yan fiercely, and her tone trembled, "You killed the second young master!" You are a disaster star, and you ruined the life of the second young master! I couldn't bear it at first, so I cried and cried, and hurriedly turned around and ran away.
A few little girls were also afraid of the disaster, and swept her timidly, and scattered in fear.
The surroundings are quiet and the sun is like a cage. Her body was sometimes heavy and sometimes light, as if it was pressing against the mountains, and it seemed that it was about to cross the ocean, and it was difficult to hold on, and she fell straight to the ground and fell to pieces.
"Actually, what she said is right, I am a disaster star, since I was a child, it seems that the deaths and killings that happen around me are all rooted in me, maybe I really killed them."
"It's not! Sister! No! She's talking nonsense! You didn't do anything wrong! ”
Ping Yan stood firm with the strength of her hand, walked forward slowly, without saying a word, and when she walked back to the house, she sent Tan'er away, and lay down on the couch to rest, closed her eyes, and seemed to be asleep.
The past is still vivid in the depths of memory, but people have long since turned into ashes.
She covered her eyes, tears gushing between her fingers. How can there be so many unperfections in this world, she was ready to redeem Dongxia's deed of sale from Xu Wanqing tomorrow, and return her free body, so that she can pick up her bags when she returns soon, go where she wants to go, live the life she wants, and no longer have to be trapped in this small mansion to die of old age, and finally be able to live for herself completely.
But people are not as good as heaven, and human life can't survive the destiny of heaven, so she ...... And so it goes.
Just left quietly.
She suddenly remembered something, turned over the box and turned out the check for the 50,000 oceans given by Dong Changlin, and went straight out without caring about tidying up her appearance.
Xu Wanqing recently embraced the Buddhist Zen way, and opened a small Buddha hall in the west hall of the main hall, where she knelt for most of the day to read and copy the scriptures. She had never seen Ping Yan break into the door so rudely, so she couldn't help frowning, as if she was pleading, and bowed to the Buddha statue three times with pious and solemn eyes, before getting up and turning to the hall.
Ping Yan also realized the inappropriateness of her behavior, forced herself to put down her heart, and said softly: "I came here to ask the young grandmother to promise me one thing. ”
Xu Wanqing took the tea and sipped it, motioning for her to continue.
Ping Yan took a few steps forward, held the check in both hands, and said, "I want to redeem Dongxia's deed of sale." ”
Xu Wanqing looked at the amount of the check and didn't accept it, and her eyes seemed to have an inquiring look.
Ping Yan stared at her and said, "I know that Dongxia has gone, and when I was in Qingzhou, I promised her that I would redeem her as a slave and return her to freedom, so that she could travel as she pleased." That's the last thing I can do for her now, okay? ”
Xu Wanqing was very surprised, 50,000 oceans is not a small amount, and redeeming a deed of sale alone is really buying and returning the pearls, and the choice is not appropriate. But for her, this deed of sale may be worth it, and this kind of sisterhood is also enviable. Thousands of people and thousands of faces, friends are like this, Dongxia can be regarded as a life in vain.
Xu Wanqing got up and went to the inner room, and after a while, she took out a piece of deed paper and handed it to Ping Yan.
Ping Yan's eyes moved, "In the future, Dongxia is no longer a descendant of the Xu family?" Is it? ”
Xu Wanqing nodded, her heart was also filled with bitterness, and her chest was stuffy. It is false to say that she is indifferent, people are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless, and Dongxia has been with her for so many years, serving left and right, and doing her best.
Ping Yan wanted to present the check, but she didn't take it, she just shook her head and sighed, pointed to the deed of sale, and pointed to her heart, her eyes were red, she didn't say anything more, and went to the Buddhist hall to copy the scriptures. Ping Yan took a few steps forward, the wind blew the curtain, and it could be seen that she was kneeling on the futon, the wolf in her hand did not stop, and the words were strong, like lotus petals. What she is copying is the Nan Mu Myoho-renge-kyo, which can cross the souls of the dead and make them ascend to bliss as soon as possible. Slowly, the words became a black river, indistinguishable from each other, her tears were still falling, the tip of the pen trembled, and she was still writing.
In the evening, Ping Yan set up a meal to pay tribute, and the treasures were burned. The moon pattern is like water, the bamboo shadow is horizontal, the wind is slightly moving, the branches and leaves are swaying, and the shadow is like Yi, it really seems that she is back, to see the last encounter in this yang world.
Ping Yan threw the deed of sale into the copper basin, and the spark swirled, turning into ashes in an instant, and flying in the wind.
She looked at the Void Bright Moon, "Dongxia, have you got your deed of sale?" Cast a good family in the next life and live a free life......"
Tan'er also said: "Sister, rest assured, the blessings in this life will be enjoyed in the next life, and Dongxia will definitely not suffer again in the next life." ”
Ping Yan hesitated for a long time before retracting her gaze and said with a faint smile: "Yes, I will get my wish in the next life." ”
"Sister, it's late at night, let's go back."
"Okay." She replied calmly, glanced at the courtyard again, took Tan'er into the house, and said, "Golden wind and jade dew, Tianhe is cool at night, it seems that autumn is coming." "Walk calmly, the red dust is not frightened, the cocoon stands alone, no one is waiting, and there is no time to look back.
A few days later, Major Shen released the flower peony, ordered someone to wash and take it to meet Ping Yan, it was already twilight, and it was about to be soon.
Hua Peony only knows how to eat, but after a while, a few plates of snacks on the table were swept away, Tan'er went to get it again, she didn't know that she was hungry and thirsty, but whenever she took it, she ate it desperately. Seeing that she had eaten a lot, Ping Yan handed her tea to drink, and said softly: "Drink some water, don't choke, dim sum is not only this one, there will be it every day in the future." ”
Hua Peony looked at her in a daze, her eyes were blank, and she stuffed something into her mouth vigorously, until she swallowed it, she quickly took the tea cup in her hand.
Tan'er snorted and said, "Good person, suddenly that's it." ”
Ping Yan thought thoughtfully, "For her, it's a blessing or a curse, it's impossible for her and her senior brother, it's better to forget everything than to let her be obsessed with it all the time." ”
Tan'er said: "According to what the eldest young master said, in Yang Huafang, it was Senior Sister Hua who told Xu Shuning about Lucheju, although she was instigated by Cai'er, but what was her motive for being at the mercy of others?" ”
Ping Yan said: "In order to avenge my senior brother." If I'm not mistaken, it was Cai'er who told her about her brother's death, she thought that her brother died at the hands of Shen Yucheng, and she wanted Shen Yucheng to be ruined. She can always hit the most important part of people's hearts, and she knows that power is greater than the sky for Shen Yucheng. ”
Tan'er thought about it and couldn't help but tremble, "In that case, Senior Sister Hua also counted Sister you in order to take revenge?" She clearly knew that once the matter of Lucheju came out, if it was not handled well, public opinion would point to her sister. ”
Ping Yan's reaction was mediocre, and she didn't seem to be surprised. She remembered that Hua Peony had specially gone to see her for the last time on the day she went to Yang Huafang, and every sentence was metaphorical, from the bottom of her heart, and it was clearly a farewell word.
She looked at the flower peony, she was like an idiot, half-incomprehensible, it was really a hundred, and half of her life was like a dream.
"She's such a person, saying it's good or not, and it's not bad. Always thinking about herself and not caring about others, it may be that she has suffered too much in her life, as long as there is a little sweetness, she wants to occupy it all. Senior brother, even if it is the only sweetness in her life, she hates me, but it is also her temperament. She leaned over, brushed up the messy hair on the forehead of the flower peony, and looked at her, "Wait a few days, you will recover better, I will take you to meet someone, his name is Bai Heng, do you remember?" ”
Hua Peony suddenly stopped chewing in her mouth, and stood like a mud tire, her pupils gathered like stars, and spread like a tide, up and down a few times, before swallowing the food in her mouth, nodding heavily, and repeating word by word: "White ...... ...... Heng"
