Chapter Ninety-Two: Encounter
Chapter Ninety-Two: Encounter
As the deadline for the big exam approached, Cao and Gu Bainiang became nervous, Cao's worshipping Buddha and burning incense at home every day was not counted, and he also went to several famous temples and Taoist temples in Jiankang in person.
"Mother, do you believe in Buddhism or believe in Taoism..."Gu Hai said with a smile, looking at the Guanyin incense attachments and other objects that the Cao family begged to come back hung all over his house, "You are incense from all sides, but it seems insincere, it is better to grab one, and the last gods, Buddhas and Taoists in the province will not buy your account...."
Cao took two sips, first clasped his hands and chanted the child's nonsense, and then busied with the incense candle in his hand.
The servant woman came to prepare the car, and the mother and son walked out of the house and saw that Gu Banniang was already standing in front of the car.
"Sister is going too?" Gu Hai was a little surprised.
Since Peng Yizhen came, my sister didn't know that she had a secret conversation with him, and she was very busy these days and was rarely at home.
Gu Bainiang smiled at her brother and nodded.
The carriage swayed out of the door, and after walking for a short time, he arrived in front of the gate of the clan school, and Gu Hai jumped out of the car.
Gu Bainiang lifted the curtain and looked at it, and saw that there were many carriages parked in front of the door, but it was much less than in the past.
Those students who knew that there was no hope simply did not come.
"Brother Gu Hai.." When several students saw him, they greeted him warmly with smiles on their faces.
Since that day he beat Gu Long violently, and after the seven-step document was written, everyone's attitude towards him has changed dramatically, of course, a few people snorted, raised their heads and walked away with a little disbelief.
Gu Hai didn't care about these performances of flattery or contempt, he flicked his sleeves, nodded in return to the few students with good attitudes, and was about to stride when a carriage stopped beside him.
Gu Yu got out of the car leisurely, his eyes turned, and when he saw Gu Hai standing on the side, his long eyebrows raised slightly.
Gu Hai looked at him and didn't speak.
Gu Bainiang said that this Gu Yuhui was the first champion of Lianzhong Sanyuan who caused a sensation in the Great Zhou....
But the most important thing is that Gu Bainiang said that the Cao family was entangled by Gu Baoquan in the plum garden that day, and he also saw it, and issued a threat, although this threat was temporarily resolved, it does not mean that it does not exist.
"So, brother, be careful with this person and don't mess with him." Gu Banniang admonished, biting her lower lip, "Even if he makes a faux pas, as long as he doesn't force people too much, we can take a step back..."
My sister's words flashed through my mind, and a smile appeared on Gu Hai's face.
"Junior brother.." He greeted him with a smile.
Gu Yu smiled, arched his hand, and his gaze swirled over Gu Hai's face.
"I heard that the senior brother is very good at learning, and he has the opportunity to learn from each other...", his voice was soft, and he said lightly, falling in Gu Hai's ears, but he felt that it seemed to be a golden iron horse rushing towards him.
This was Gu Yu's first day in the school, which attracted the attention of a large number of people, and after hearing his words again, he was even more surprised.
This guy who used to be Gu Long's little servant, praised Gu Hai's knowledge in the previous sentence, and the next sentence was not to humbly ask for advice, but to threaten to learn from each other.....
I've never been to school, I don't have Mr. guidance, and I'm Gu Long's straw bale little guy....
That's too arrogant, isn't it? There are many mistakes, you just changed your father, not your head
"Okay." Gu Hai smiled, nodded and said, and did not take a step.
Gu Yu looked at him and smiled, turned around and walked, the plain white cloak fluttered with his movements, and his expression was extremely free.
The students who were crowding into the door unconsciously stopped and made way for him, Gu Yu did not stop at his feet, although his face was smiling, he did not squint.
When he entered, everyone came back to their senses and exchanged heads.
"This kid..."Someone said behind Gu Hai, with a full sigh in his voice.
Gu Hai looked back and saw that it was a plain-clothed student with a gentle expression.
"Senior Brother Gu Yuan.." He nodded.
Wen Ya smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go." ”
The two of them followed the flow of people into the door, and saw Gu Yu stopping beside Gu Long from a distance, listening to them with a smile on his face.
“… Do you mean the next link? After listening to this, he asked with a smile in his eyes, "Who loses if you don't get right?" Want to learn how to bark? ”
Gu Long nodded, patting his bulging belly, "Hmph, hum, you dare to come and play with the master, the master is afraid that you won't succeed.. Come.. Come....little fisherman, you can do it for me..."
Saying this, he showed a big smile at the three or four equally oily teenagers in front of him.
"Hah. Ha, if you want to learn how to bark, the master will call you enough."
When the young man on the opposite side saw Gu Yu, his face showed a little hesitation.
"Fourth brother, forget it.." Someone pulled the young man who was the leader and whispered.
Gu Yu's identity is not as good as before......
"Am I right for you?" Gu Yu looked at Gu Long and asked with a smile.
Gu Long was a little unhappy with his attitude, and gave him a blank look, "What?" Now I can't call you? ”
Gu Yu smiled, "Don't dare, don't dare, where." Saying this, he stretched out his hand to the teenagers on the other side and said, "Please come out of the right." ”
The teenagers hesitated.
"What are you doing?" Seeing this, Gu Long's momentum soared, and he straightened his chest and pointed at them with his hand, "What?" Scared now? I want to run, bah, the master told you, there is no way to get out quickly, and the master is waiting to hear your dog bark."
Gu Yu only smiled silently on the side.
The young man on the opposite side was also anxious by him, and his heart was crossed, and he said, "Idle and watch the door in the wood." ”
This pair is not difficult, and the students passing by all laughed in a low voice, knowing that this is completely to save Gu Yu's face.
Gu Long was triumphant, and habitually raised his foot and kicked Gu Yu, "That's right." ”
Gu Yusubai had footprints printed on his cloak, he looked down, his expression did not change, he raised his head and said to the teenagers: "Oh, this is so difficult, I can't do it, admit defeat." ”
As soon as these words came out, both sides were stunned.
"Gu Long, you lost, but I'll do it for you, I shouldn't be the one who barks..."Gu Yu smiled slightly, reached out and patted Gu Long's chubby face, "... So... You can learn how to bark now..."
With that, he turned and walked away.
"You little bastard... You eat the leopard, dare to trick me..... I'll kill you......" Gu Long finally reacted, and was immediately furious, jumping to his feet and scolding and about to rush over.
After the teenagers on the opposite side were surprised, they already understood the meaning of Gu Yu's behavior, where did Gu Long go up to entangle him, and a swarm of bees rushed up and held him down.
"Gu Long, a manly husband, plays Lai Pi to learn how to bark a dog"
Laughter and scolding erupted, and Gu Yu had already walked out of everyone's sight, and he didn't look back.
"This kid.." The gentle student smiled, shook his head, looked at Gu Hai, with a bit of banter, and raised his chin at Gu Hai, who was pressed to the ground by the young man, "What?" Not going to help your cousin? This pair, shouldn't you be right? No mistakes, not a lot of words"
Gu Hai smiled and said, "The eldest husband dares to act boldly, since he gambles with others, how can he find others to help?" Losing is losing, admitting defeat is not a shame, finding someone to help is a shame. ”
After that, he raised his hand, "Senior brother, please." ”
The gentle student laughed, no longer said anything and walked forward, Gu Hai raised his heels, and with a bell ringing, the door of the school slowly closed.
Cao's carriage had already arrived outside Xinglong Temple, and he got out of the car with the servant's hand, and looked at the still bustling flow of people, and the mother and daughter walked along.
After worshipping each Buddha hall in turn, when he went home, Cao stopped with some hesitation and looked at the crowded main hall.
"Why don't you go and ask your brother for a sign..."She said, looking at Gu Bainiang with a little worry in her eyes.
After Gu Bainiang's words about rebirth, their family unconsciously avoided the lottery fortune telling, so when someone invited the lottery that day, neither mother nor daughter responded.
Fear and curiosity struggled in Cao's heart, and finally wanted to ask for a sign for his son.
"Okay, mother, you can go." Gu Bainiang understands the thoughts of a woman like her mother very well, after all, it is herself who is reborn, not her.
The mysterious unknown of fate is indeed fascinating.
"Eighteen Niang, you stand here and don't move, I'll come when I go." With her daughter's permission, Cao Shi breathed a sigh of relief and instructed her to leave one servant woman and take the other with her.
"Miss, sit down here." The servant woman was very clever and took off her armor and folded it on the wooden pier by the roadside.
Gu Bainiang smiled at her and stood on the side of the road, "No need, I'll just stand, I'm not tired, you can put it on quickly, and be careful about the cold." ”
The servant woman was no longer reluctant, smiled and picked it up and put it on, while saying: "Miss and Mrs. are kind-hearted, the jacket made for us is so thick, no matter how cold it is, it can't be frozen...."
She has been in this house for a while, and naturally understands who supported this family, and with a little flattery, she puts the young lady in front of the lady.
Gu Bainiang smiled when she heard this, but didn't speak, thinking that she didn't know what was going on on with Peng Yizhen, she had been negotiating for several days, so she couldn't talk about it? Is the Shen family's asking price too high? This pharmacy is still in my mother-in-law...
"Miss, what's wrong?" The servant woman saw the young lady standing quietly and suddenly raised her hand and slapped the corner of her mouth, and asked in puzzlement.
There are no mosquitoes in this season, right? No mistakes in many words
"It's fine." Gu Banniang said lightly and exhaled.
This pharmacy is still in the hands of Mrs. Shen Xiao Zhao, Xiao Zhao's person is actually very stingy, and it is very likely that he will offer an unreasonable price, but there should be a steward to remind her that their pharmacy is a market, right? No mistakes in many words
While she was thinking, her eyes casually scanned the crowd of people, poor or rich, and her face was full of sincerity.
Three young men walked in the crowd, tall and tall, with luxurious clothes, which was very eye-catching.
The three of them talked while walking, and did not go to the main hall, but passed by Gu Bainiang and walked to the other side.
Gu Bainiang lowered her head and gave way to the side, looked up casually and looked away, she was not a girl of Erba, and she was not interested in appreciating flowers and reading people.
Her eyes drooped, but a flash of light flashed in her mind, tearing her whole body apart.
As far as the eye can see, that face ..... that face...... She won't forget what she did
She turned around with a slight tremble, and saw that the three of them had already submerged in a piece of green bamboo, she stretched out her hand and clenched her neckline, only to feel the buzzing in her ears, and only the tall back as far as she could see.
"Miss? Miss? The servant woman noticed that something was wrong with her young lady, and hurriedly helped her to call.
The tentacles found that the young lady's whole body was trembling, and she couldn't help but belch in fright.
"I'm fine." Gu Bainiang was shaken by her, restrained her surging and irrepressible emotions, and squeezed out a smile at the servant, "I remembered, I forgot to put incense on the Guanyin Palace... I'll go now, you wait here for Madame, and I'll come when I go. ”
The servant woman wanted to speak again, but Gu Bainiang had already walked away, leaving her standing in place with her mouth open.
Gu Bainiang followed behind the three people, watched them walk to a row of meditation rooms, and casually pushed open a meditation room.
The doors and windows are open, and you can see that there are landscape calligraphy and paintings hanging inside, and there are oleanders in front of the window, and the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the fragrance is bursting.
The three of them sat around the table, not knowing what to say, and burst into laughter.
When she married him, he had already followed General Ye Zhen's army to fight against Jin, and it was his younger brother who married him on his behalf.....
She had never met him before marrying him......
Two years later, he came back, and when he came back in a sedan chair, he was carried into the house by the little maid......
He had the weathers of the battlefield on his face and looked ten years older than his real age.....
She had never seen him with such a green face, let alone such a young face with a tall stride, nor had she ever seen him laugh like this......
He smiled so happily, showing his white teeth, and the smile overflowed from the deep eyes, making his hard face soften a lot......
He smiled so happily, Gu Bainiang only felt that his vision was gradually blurred, how could he laugh so happily? How could he laugh so happily?
"Female benefactor?" An inquiry rang in my ears.
Gu Bainiang came back to her senses, and her eyes withdrew from the unfolded window of the meditation room, only to find that she was standing next to a clump of green bamboos, and the few green bamboo leaves she was holding in her hand had been crumbled.
"Is the female benefactor looking for someone?" The little monk looked at her puzzled and asked, holding a set of tea sets in his hand.
"Oh, I'm separated from my family..."Gu Bainiang's expression returned to normal, and she said a little uneasy.
Seeing that this girl was well-dressed, her demeanor was calm and elegant, and the little monk who had trained a pair of fiery eyes after watching all living beings immediately decided that she was either rich or expensive.
The women of those families rarely go out, and it is normal to get dizzy when they first enter such a large temple and see so many people.
"I don't know where the female donor is going?" The little monk asked with a smile, "This is a Zen temple for hospitality.....
"I'm going to the Guanyin Temple." Gu Bainiang replied, "I don't know how to go?" ”
When the little monk heard this, he immediately gave her instructions, Gu Bainiang thanked her, glanced at the tray in his hand, turned around and walked away.
After showing the way to a few men and women who had lost their way, the little monk brought the tea into the three-person room.
“.. There is a stove next door, boiling water, if the donor refills the water..."
“… Little master, get busy..."
A few words came intermittently, the little monk gave a salute and retired, Gu Bainiang slowly turned out of the corner, slowly playing with two oleanders in her hand, and the bright peach blossoms reflected her eyes.
She raised her head and pulled off the oleander leaves one by one, it was so good that he could live......
Gu Banniang bit her lower lip and raised her feet to walk along the meditation room.
"Amitabha... Female donor, and stop"
A solemn Buddha horn sounded suddenly.
Gu Bainiang was startled, suddenly withdrew her hand on the door, and turned around.
In front of him stood a short, stocky, ordinary-looking old monk, his hands folded, and his eyes burning at him.
Gu Bainiang only felt that her soul was seen through for a moment, and she couldn't help but sweat coldly, and she couldn't speak.
"Female donor, dare to ask when this body is?" The old monk continued.
Gu Bainiang held the peach blossom in her hand, her chest rose and fell violently, and panic appeared on her face, "Master, I.. I.. Just watching the peach blossoms bloom well.. I broke a sprig... You... Don't blame you..."
The old monk looked at her and smiled.
"No blame, no blame." He said kindly.
"Thank you, Master." Gu Eighteen Niang gave a salute, bowed her head and walked around him in broken steps.
"Female benefactor." The old monk called her later.
Gu Bainiang stopped at her feet, but she didn't look back, and listened to the old monk say in the back: "Female donor, did this peach blossom bloom at that time, or at this time, or when it came?" ”
