At this time, the Potai Temple is very quiet, a group of people enter from the Tianwang Palace, pass the Daxiong Treasure Palace, and only meet a few monks who pass by leisurely along the way, and bow slightly to them from afar.

Entering the Guanyin Hall of the next heavy, a few people just knelt on the futon under the look of the Guanyin Master, and heard the footsteps behind the Guanyin statue, accompanied by the sound of light words, from far and near.

Xu Huan hurriedly avoided a few steps to the side, and the footsteps reached the side of the Guanyin statue, stopping with the sound of words.

Old Lady Huo, Li Xia and the others kowtowed respectfully and attentively, stood up and looked over.

Mrs. Lu Yi Ruan was followed by a few maids-in-law, stepped forward with a smile, and greeted Mrs. Huo, "I didn't expect to meet the old lady here, the old lady is fine, the sixth lady is good, the seventh lady is good, and Axia is also here." ”

"It's Mrs. Ruan." Old Mrs. Huo was busy bending her knees to salute.

Mrs. Ruan hurriedly took a step forward and supported Mrs. Huo, "The old lady can't see outside." ”

"Sister Ruan, is she also just here? General Lu came with you? Li Xia looked at Mrs. Ruan, and asked with a smile while bending her knees.

"I have just arrived, and General Lu is busy now and often doesn't go home for two or three days, so how can he have time to accompany me? I'm coming alone, and the old lady is going to stay here for the night so late? Mrs. Ruan smiled.

"That's how it was planned, we're all idlers." Old Madam Huo said with a smile.

"I'm also an idler," Mrs. Ruan said quickly, "That's right, I'm going to stay for one night, and I'll have a companion with the old lady and a few girls, okay?" I'm alone, and I'm bored. ”

"I can't ask for it!" Mrs. Huo smiled happily.

Li Xia's heart moved slightly, looked at Mrs. Ruan, and smiled with bent eyes.

Mrs. Ruan and Li Dong accompanied Mrs. Huo, kowtowed to the Bodhisattvas and went out from the back door of the Potai Temple, and found a pavilion with a cliff on both sides to sit on, and asked people to invite the old nuns who were waiting for tea from the Potai Nunnery not far away to come and wait for the tea and snacks, and set a vegetarian meal in the Potai Nunnery, drinking tea, sitting and talking.

Old Mrs. Huo drank two cups of tea, stood up and said with a smile: "Sister Dong'er will talk to your sister Ruan, I'll go see where the two monkeys have gone." ”

Li Dong stood up and responded, Mrs. Ruan's eyebrows raised slightly, watching Mrs. Huo walk briskly towards the mountain, and couldn't help but admire, "At your grandmother's age, this body can still be so light and tough, it is really a great blessing and a great wisdom." ”

"Well, A-Niang also said the same, my grandmother had such a bumpy life in the first half of her life, and I don't know what happened to me when I changed to an ordinary person." Li Dong looked at his grandmother, with a deep envy in his admiration.

"The old lady has great wisdom." Mrs. Ruan looked at Li Dong, who was looking at Mrs. Huo with envy in her eyes, "Buddhism says that you can let go of attachment, like your grandmother, you can let go, you can do this, how many are there in the world?" When I reach the age of your grandmother, I will be satisfied if I can have the open-mindedness of your grandmother. ”

Li Dong laughed at what Mrs. Ruan said, "Mrs. is different from Grandma, Grandma had a rough life when she was young, and Madame is a blessed person." ”

"I want you to say good things." Mrs. Ruan looked at Li Dong carefully, "I think you're okay, I heard about the incident in the Dong family a while ago, and I've been worried that you're angry." ”

When Li Dong heard Mrs. Ruan talk about this, his expression froze, and he smiled reluctantly after a moment: "It's not a big deal, it's over." ”

"Don't take it to heart, they all say that a woman's family marries someone, it's like reincarnation again, ups and downs are common, and ups and downs are not necessarily bad, like me." Mrs. Ruan said that she was like her, pursed her lips and laughed, "If you know me or not, they all say that I am well married, and if they say that they just look at General Lu as good-looking, I will be very blessed." ”

Li Dong looked at Mrs. Ruan in surprise, and then held back a smile, this Mrs. Ruan is really straightforward and easy-going when she speaks.

"Actually, General Lu is not only good-looking, but also has a good personality and good character, and is better for me, you don't know, since I married into the Lu family, as long as I go to the temple and temple, I will burn a pillar of incense and kowtow one more, thank the Bodhisattva for letting me marry such a perfect husband." Mrs. Nguyen continued.

Li Dong was surprised and moved, "This is a blessing for my wife." ”

"Before marrying General Lu, how many times do you think I discussed kissing?" Mrs. Ruan's words changed, looked at Li Dong, and asked with a smile.

Li Dong was stunned, "Aren't you and General Lu a family affair that has been decided a long time ago?" ”

"No, General Lu set a family affair very early, when the girl was fifteen or sixteen years old, she was sick and gone, at that time General Lu was in the army, and later came to the Queen Mother's side, this family affair has not been discussed again. Later, I was cheaper, and I was six years younger than the general. Madame Ruan winked at Li Dong.

Li Dong smiled.

"When I was eleven years old, my family decided to marry me. Alas," Madame Ruan sighed, "our Ruan family is in the south, and we are the same as the Lu family. ”

Li Dong nodded hurriedly, she knew this, not to mention the south, in the whole world, the Ruan family was also a countable Wang family, and the Gu family and the Tang family were not too much different.

"Ugh." Mrs. Ruan sighed again, "Such a big family sounds glamorous, but in fact, ...... Like our children, when we talk about relatives, the first thing to talk about is the family, the family set me the first family business, the door is right, that son, people are also very good, just the same, like beauty, he is two years older than me, after the marriage, I listened to the most, is which beauty he fancies, which beauty is most favored now, and which beauty he carried home, when he died, there were sixteen maids in his backyard, and four concubines. ”

Li Dong's eyes widened when he heard this.

"He died in battle, drunk and lying on the knees of a beautiful woman alive, waking up to kill the sword, wrapped in horse leather when he was alive, it is said that it was his will, he did it, but his life was shorter." Mrs. Ruan's voice was full of indescribable taste, she looked at Li Dong slightly, and after a moment, she leaned forward, approached Li Dong and said in a low voice: "I tell you, I knew that on the day he died, I was very drunk." ”

Li Dong snorted, stunned, and then burst out laughing, "Sister is really ......" The latter words, Li Dong was stuck, it's hard to say.

"After that, I was quiet for a year, and I discussed the second family, and the other party was strict, and the marriage was less than half a year, because Uncle Seventeen made a ridiculous thing that caused a sensation in the city, and people came to the door and quit."

Mrs. Ruan sighed softly, "That time, I was sad and sick, not because I couldn't succeed again and again, but because of the son of the second family, I quite like it." ”

Li Donggang wanted to sigh sadly, but he was laughed at by Mrs. Ruan's last sentence, and he felt inappropriate when he laughed, and then looked at Mrs. Ruan, who laughed more than her, and his heart was relieved, and he raised his finger against his forehead, laughing non-stop, "Madame is really ...... I'm also sad this time, too...... But it's not sad now. ”

"Later, two more families were discussed, and the family said that the eight characters could not be combined, whether the eight characters could not be combined, I didn't inquire, and then one family, both were optimistic, Weng Weng thought about it again and again, did not nod, and said that the future of that family was limited, I was as old as you are now, my aunt was not in a hurry, to be honest with you, I was a little anxious, our southern girl got married, and she was one year or two years earlier than the capital."

Li Dong hummed in a low voice, "I'm the same as you, Ah Niang and Uncle Niang don't say it's in a hurry, I'm also ......" Li Dong's face turned red, and he was embarrassed to say the word urgently.

"Later, Uncle Seventeen came back." Mrs. Ruan pursed her lips and smiled, "Uncle Seventeen is the first born son of the grandmother in her forties, and she is used to it, this is my mother's words, and the grandmother often sighs like this, saying that Uncle Seventeen is not good, she and Weng Weng are used to it."

Uncle Seventeen made that ridiculous thing, and he ran away as soon as he was familiar with the way, if he made something out of control, he would run for half a year, and then come back, the wife and Weng Weng were worried about this little half a year, and when they saw him coming back, they only cared about Amitabha, and naturally there was nothing to do. ”

Li Dongshu laughed, "Why do you feel the same as Axia...... No, Ah Xia can't be considered Tao, she never does things out of the ordinary, but she has a big idea. ”

"Ah Xia is smart, this is what General Lu said. Uncle Seventeen came back from running for half a year, and I heard that because of his business, I was dismissed, do you know what he did? Mrs. Ruan looked at Li Dong with a smile flowing.

"What did you do?"

"He ran to the door of the house, waited until the son-in-law went out, stepped forward and grabbed him, beat him hard, and made Weng Weng and his wife angry. Mrs. Ruan laughed as she spoke, "Uncle Seventeen came back to tell me how he beat that son, and told me that if I was still angry, he would beat him again, how dare I let him beat him again?" If you beat it again, Daddy and Auntie will have to kneel and kowtow to others. ”

Li Dong was surprised and amused, "You seventeenth uncle, what's the matter...... What a ......."

"He has always been like this, and then I discussed marriage, this thing and that, I can't always discuss, Uncle Seventeen is more anxious than me, one day, Uncle Seventeen is excited, came to tell me, he remembered a good family, what he said, is General Lu, Uncle Seventeen and General Lu are very good friends."

After a pause, Mrs. Ruan smiled and spread her hands, "Don't ask me how General Lu can become friends with someone like Uncle Seventeen, I asked General Lu, General Lu is stranger than me, and said: What's wrong with your Uncle Seventeen?" Why can't you be friends with him? What do you think I can say? ”

Li Dong couldn't stop laughing, "What is the ridiculous thing that made you quit your family?" He beats people...... Ah Xia and Sister Nan have also beaten people, and they have also beaten people...... This is not ridiculous. ”

"I won't talk about that, I don't have the face to talk about it." Mrs. Ruan smiled and waved her hand, "Don't ask me, you can't say it anyway." I can marry General Lu now, all thanks to the blessing of Uncle Seventeen, so I have to save his face. ”

Li Dong is a person who chases and asks, hearing Mrs. Ruan say this, although he wants to know in his heart, he is not good to ask again. "When you say this, my family seems to be more ...... than you."

"At least now it's more obedient than me, don't go to your heart, my wife often says, people, you have to be open, because this hurdle, after passing one, the next one must be deeper, bigger and more sad, how to live if you don't want to open?"

Li Dong sighed, and after a while, he smiled and said, "The old lady said this...... Is this persuasive? ”

"Well, that's how the grandmother persuaded people." Mrs. Ruan couldn't stop laughing, "My fourteenth aunt is the eldest in the family, stupid in reading, the fourteenth aunt and the grandmother cried, and the grandmother persuaded her: Don't cry, don't cry, it's okay, don't worry, the things that make you sad more than this are all behind, crying like this now, what will you do in the future?" Look at it, I thought the second child was ridiculous and unproductive, but now with Little Seventeen, this comparison, the second child is not better to the sky. ”

Li Dongxiao bent down for a while before he spoke, "Then your fourteenth aunt...... She ......"

"Aunt Fourteen stopped crying and left." Mrs. Ruan also smiled like a silver bell, "My grandmother is over sixty years old this year, and like your grandmother, she can't tell her age at all, she often says, it's okay, it's okay, think about the more difficult hurdles ahead, and this hurdle in front of me is nothing." ”

Li Dongxiao's voice changed, "Old lady, this is persuasion, this is simply ......" The latter words, she was embarrassed to say it, this is annoying.

"When I was a child, I also felt that my wife was persuasive, this is to add to the congestion and anger of others, A-Niang said, if you can really see it like your wife, when you think about this is the best time from now on, this thing is the best thing from now on, what else can't you think of?"

Li Dong stayed for a moment, looked at Mrs. Ruan, and said hesitantly in a low voice: "I still think ...... I don't think it's good. ”

"Huh? Then you talk about it, let's gossip, you have something to say, you see I'm like this. Madame Ruan smiled.

"I think, if that's the case, then what's the hope of living?" Li Dong mustered up the courage, and when he said the first sentence, the rest of the words were smooth, "Let's just say that our family was ...... when we were in Taiyuan Mansion."

Li Dong's words paused, with twelve points of embarrassment, "I'm not afraid of my sister's jokes, at that time, there was an old lady surnamed Zhong in our family, but she was not an old lady, she was Daddy's nurse, but ......"

Li Dong moved to Mrs. Ruan's side, and Mrs. Ruan was also busy moving over, listening to Li Dong whispering about how Mrs. Zhong bullied and pinched their family back then, and how Daddy was confused.

“…… To this day, sometimes I still have nightmares that Mama Zhong came back alive and that we were back in Taiyuan Mansion again. Li Dong's voice was very low.

Mrs. Ruan gently hugged her shoulders and sighed lowly, she had heard General Lu say these things, and General Lu's words had already made her very sad, at this moment, Li Dong's words were full of fear, and her heart was pumped into a ball when she heard it.

"At that time, I thought, she is getting older day by day, she is always going to die, it will be good when she dies, there is hope for the future, my mother and I survived, now, I think it will be difficult in the future, it will not be as difficult as in Taiyuan Mansion, my family is not smooth, but this ...... It's nothing, my sister said, didn't she? ”

"Yes, yes, it's nothing, you're better than me, I was sick at the time." Madame Ruan nodded repeatedly.

Li Dong's cheeks were slightly red, "I'm not better than my sister at all, I'm also sick, my chest hurts, and the menstrual period has not come for a long time, the doctor said it...... Stagnation. ”

"Still depressed?" Madame Ruan turned her head sideways and looked at Li Dong carefully.

"It's gone, it's gone. The old lady compares backwards, I compare forward, think about it when I was in Taiyuan Mansion, these are nothing. Li Dong looked at Mrs. Ruan a little timidly.

"That's right, you haven't arrived at fate." Mrs. Ruan met Li Dong's timid but struggling to hold up gaze, smiled and patted her hands, and was about to speak, a little girl jumped over from the mountain road, Mrs. Ruan pulled Li Dong to stand up, and motioned to the little girl, "It must be here to ask us to eat, let's go, the sun has set, and the mountain breeze is cool." ”

The little girl really came to ask the two of them to eat, and the old lady and the two girls were already waiting in the dining hall.

After eating, several people drank weak tea and talked for a while, Mrs. Ruan had to send Mrs. Huo back first, and watched everyone go in, before turning back to a small courtyard not far from Mrs. Huo.

The next day, several people got up before dawn, met Mrs. Ruan, went to the back mountain of Potai Temple to see the sunrise, climbed back to the back mountain in the morning mist, had breakfast together in Po Tai Nunnery, and then went back to the capital together after lunch.

From watching the sunrise in the morning, to having lunch and getting in the car to go back, Mrs. Huo, an old child, and Li Xia and Li Wennan, two children, chased rabbits on the back mountain, fished in the stream, and the three of them played and enjoyed everything.

Li Dong and Mrs. Ruan gossiped together, the more the two of them talked, the more speculative they became, and on the way back, Mrs. Ruan simply invited Li Dong to her car and talked, so as to relieve the sullenness on the road.

Li Xia and Li Wennan and Mrs. Huo were in a car, not long after getting into the car, Li Wennan fell asleep sleepily, Li Xia rested his chin on the back of his hand, lying on the window sill, looking at Mrs. Ruan's car in front.

Old Mrs. Huo looked out from behind her, looked at it for a while, and said with a smile: "You say, did that lady and your sister really fall in love, or did the husband sing and follow the wife?" ”

"I'll see," Li Xia dragged a long voice, "First the husband sings and the wife follows, and then the head must really fall in love." ”

"You Nizi, a goblin, I look at it too, that General Lu is really good to your fifth brother."

Li Xia hummed in a low and plausible voice.

Old Mrs. Huo looked down at her for a while before she whispered: "Ah Xia, my grandmother told you, don't think too much about everything, look at one as one, look at two as two, General Lu is good to your fifth brother, don't think about anything else, don't think too much." ”

Li Xia looked back at her grandmother, "I understand what grandma meant, I didn't think much about it, there was nothing to think about, I didn't think it was a good thing." ”

Old Lady Huo hummed in a low voice, raised her hand and gently stroked Li Xia's shoulder, feeling a little uneasy in her heart, Ah Xia, this child, is too smart, now, she is a little worried about her.
