CHAPTER XX
Mrs. Yu was going to the Jade Buddha Temple, and the government sent someone to the temple in advance to inform her, and the temple was also prepared early.
When the carriage reached the foot of the mountain, Mrs. Yu insisted on walking up the mountain to show her sincerity. The granddaughters of the Yu family were reluctant, and they couldn't hold on to the old lady, so they could only follow the side.
Ye Zhiqing and Mama Lai helped the old lady to walk slowly, Miss Yu and Mrs. Zhong had their own maid-in-law to support, Zhong Pearl was young, Zhou Hong simply took her over and held her in his arms to climb the mountain.
The little girl giggled happily in her cousin's arms, and kept urging Zhou Hong: "Cousin Hong, hurry up, hurry up, you have to surpass your grandmother, you have to surpass your eldest cousin......"
Children's competitiveness never knows the occasion, Yu Hongyan saw that Zhou Hong really did what her little cousin wanted, and took a step forward, even Mrs. Yu smiled and said: "Hong'er is a child who loves children." The taste in her heart couldn't be more complicated.
Most of the people in the group were old and weak women and children, and when they entered the mountain gate, their bodies were soaked with sweat. Seeing that Mrs. Yu was like this, the monk sent the little novice to take them to the guest house to tidy up and wash.
"If you are sincere, the old lady will get what she wants."
Old Madam Yu was sweating, but she felt that her legs and feet were light and healthy: "In the end, it is the blessed land of Buddhism, and I haven't entered the incense yet, and I already feel that my body is half lighter." ”
Ye Zhiqing knew that she believed in Buddhism, so she joked: "Then when the old lady returns after listening to the scriptures and praying for blessings, she will definitely have no disasters from now on, be healthy, and be happy!" ”
Old Madam Yu patted her hand: "Then borrow your auspicious words!" ”
After the group finished grooming and used some food, they went to the front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall to make incense.
Ye Zhiqing herself is not very enthusiastic about Buddhism, not to mention that she is now equivalent to borrowing the corpse to return her soul, she still doesn't know why she came here, and she is even more respectful of gods and ghosts, so she sued Mrs. Yu and walked around the temple by herself.
Mrs. Yu was accompanied by her daughter, daughter-in-law, and several granddaughters, all of whom went to pray for the blessings of the family.
Ye Zhiqing walked around the temple alone, only to the side of the Tianwang Palace, a group of people came to the front, looking at the female dependents from a distance, she never avoided it, the two teams walked face to face, the other party turned out to be two middle-aged women and three young girls, with a few maids.
was originally a stranger, Ye Zhiqing didn't take it seriously, and took a look at the person opposite, and a girl exclaimed: "There are ghosts!" The voice of the other girl was trembling: "Yang ...... Yang Wanqing ......"
Ye Zhiqing was taken aback, the girl called "There is a ghost" was wearing a pink shirt, a small face with a big palm, and a sharp chin, which was the standard awl face that was popular in later generations. The other girl was a goose-egg face, with an orange dress, and she was not very old. However, one of the middle-aged women was steady, although her face was stiff and pale, she still slapped the girl in the pink shirt: "What nonsense? Where did the ghosts come from? ”
When she said this, she was actually emboldening herself.
Ye Zhiqing saw that their expressions were wrong, and immediately thought that these people knew about Yang Wanqing. Otherwise, how could these people call her name in the capital thousands of miles away from Fucheng, and looking at their expressions, they clearly knew that Yang Wanqing had sunk into the pond, and her expression was panicked, either the insider or the perpetrator.
The stubbornness in her heart was great, and she suddenly hugged her arms tightly and lengthened her vagina: "It's so cold in the river...... It's so cold......"
"Ahh I knew you were alive! Before she stepped forward to pull Ye Zhiqing's hand, one of the middle-aged women nervously grabbed her wrist: "Qiu Niang, what are you going to do?" She...... She ......"
The little girl named Qiu Niang didn't seem to be afraid at all: "Mother, this is the third sister!" ”
The middle-aged woman pulled her daughter backwards, and the maid and servant woman beside them also followed the master backwards: "Are you crazy?" What third sister? Where did such a slut come from on my Yang door? She's dead! ”
A group of them took a step back, Ye Zhiqing took a step further, she didn't say anything else, just stared at these people faintly, hugged her arms and said: "It's so cold and dark under the water...... I'm so scared...... Would you like to stay with me......"
A group of people screamed in fright by her, and even the two middle-aged women couldn't hold back when they heard this, and immediately shouted at the people around them: "Why don't you invite the senior monks in the temple to come and catch ghosts?" Just go! ”
This was a good job, and immediately a few girls ran to the front hall, for fear that they would run one step slower and be entangled by water ghosts. In broad daylight, I feel cold and sweaty on my back.
Ye Zhiqing didn't seem to hear their intention to invite the abbot at all, and she didn't catch Qiu Niang, who wanted to pull her, but took a step forward, and grabbed the girl in the pink shirt through the shoulders of the middle-aged woman, the girl screamed in fright, she firmly grabbed her arm, and secretly pinched the acupuncture points on her wrist, the girl suddenly screamed even more, and said incoherently in fright: "It's not me, it's me!" It's really not me! It's the second sister who hates you, it's my mother's idea, it's not that I want to get rid of you...... Sister, please let me go......"
It turns out that Yang Wanqing was really framed?
Ye Zhiqing's heart was suddenly filled with a wave of anger, how could they be ruthless and sink a young girl in the pond and drown them alive?
"Are you going to lie to me when I'm dead?" She blew into the girl's ear and interrogated her with compassion.
The girl was already frightened, her face was covered with snot and tears, her whole body was trembling, and she let go of her voice and screamed: "Mother...... Mother, come and save me! It's not that I'm not me...... Who made you look prettier than me, why don't you die with your short-lived mother? ”
In the midst of great fear, she was speechless, her mind was blank, and her whole person was in a state of madness. And her mother was anxious to protect her calf, and when she saw her daughter being entangled by water ghosts, she pounced on her and wanted to fight with Ye Zhiqing: "I am not afraid of you if you live, am I afraid of you if you die?" Cheap girl, let go of my daughter! ”
She is a fierce woman, and she has never been afraid of retribution, but today's events are too bizarre. was able to see Yang Wanqing, who had long since died, in the Buddhist Gate, especially since she kept muttering that it was so cold underwater, which made her even more sure that she was a ghostly thing, and she was immediately frightened.
She had long sharp nails, and her hand reached the door of Ye Zhiqing's face, seeing that she couldn't avoid it, she was about to be scratched and her face bloomed, but she was pulled away violently and fell into a wide chest.
Ye Zhiqing turned her head and saw Zhou Hongtie standing in front of her with a blue face, with an unpredictable look in his eyes, but he could feel that he should be very unhappy. Her heart was pounding, and she didn't know how much Zhou Hongfang had just heard, so she said in a daze: "Major General-" Her mind was racing rapidly, and she smiled forcefully: "I...... I'm kidding them. Whoever has made a little bit of a lot of people who have come to recognize me lately, it's really ...... Somewhat annoying. ”
Zhou Hong said in a rough voice: "Wipe away your tears!" ”
Ye Zhiqing looked at him blankly, and said this to others, until Zhou Hong's rough fingers brushed her face, she touched her face, and got the wetness of her hand, and she felt surprised: Why am I crying?
She couldn't understand why she was crying.
Is it because of the tears that Yang Wanqing shed when she finally learned the truth because of the endless resentment in her body, or the tears she herself shed when she was thrown into the icy river water for the rest of her life.
Unknown.
After she was pulled away by Zhou Hong, the peach-shirted girl was let go, and she cried and threw herself on the middle-aged woman who fell, hugging her and trembling: "Mother-"
Suddenly, a voice mixed sadness and joy: "Qingniang, are you finally willing to admit that you are still alive?" ”
Ye Zhiqing was still in Zhou Hong's arms, she turned her head to look, Gao Shiliang was standing not far away in despair, as if he wanted to step forward but didn't dare to step forward.
She suddenly felt that Zhou Hong was holding her arms and increasing her strength, and she was about to break her waist.
Except for the cries of middle-aged women and girls, there was silence for a while. Qiu Niang spoke up with the other orange-shirted person: "Good cousin-"
Farther away, the sound of dense footsteps came, and there seemed to be human voices, and soon they got closer, and Yahuan could be heard panting: "Master, there are really water ghosts...... She was obviously dead, but she actually ran to the temple......"
"Amitabha! Can the donor's words be serious? ”
"Really, really! She turned out to be the third lady of our house, and she died a few months ago! ”
Turning the front of the Tianwang Palace, to the side, I saw a group of people gathered here, and the maid who went to ask for help thought that he had brought a high monk, no matter how big the evil thing could be suppressed, his voice was also strong, and his legs and stomach did not turn, and he raised his voice: "Mrs., big wife, I brought the master of the temple over, don't be afraid!" ”
Gao Shiliang's face was ugly, he took a few steps forward, and soon arrived in front of Zhou Hong and Ye Zhiqing, stretched out his arms in front of the two: "Xiaohuan, what nonsense are you talking about?" ”
Zhou Hong pushed him away, pushed him straight away, took Ye Zhiqing to several monks, and saluted the monk with white hair at the front: "Master Yulin, I'm really tired of you coming over." This family hid treachery in their hearts, did evil things, and couldn't hide it in front of the Buddha, so the thief shouted to catch the thief! ”
Today, these two middle-aged women, one is Yang Kaishan's step-chamber Wu, and the other is Yang Kaishan's sister-in-law Chen, both of whom are pungent figures in the Yang family. The two of them are usually like one person, and they join forces in the clan, and many concubines of the same clan have been defeated by these two people.
It's just that I didn't expect to encounter this unfortunate incident when I entered the capital.
