Chapter 18: Burning Incense (4)

Ruibei glanced at Xia Ruixi with disdain: "Ah, such an adult, saliva."

Xia Ruixi stretched out his hand and touched it, and sure enough, the corners of his mouth and cheek on the right side were wet, and he hurriedly took a towel to wipe his face, embarrassed and angry: "Am I too tired?" You can guarantee that you won't drool when you sleep? ”

Xia Ruibei raised her chin: "I just won't." ”

Xia Ruixi said angrily: "Yes, you won't, you don't eat fireworks in the world, you are extremely elegant, okay?" What are you yelling for? I'm going to sleep if it's okay, and I'm going to wake up early tomorrow. ”

Xia Ruibei leaned over mysteriously: "I came to explain the morning to you." ”

"What do you say about tomorrow morning?" Xia Ruixi ignored her.

"I look at the little one named Ah Ke must be uneasy and kind, you must get up early tomorrow morning, don't let him take the lead. My aunt is really, and I don't know how to make these people follow up. ”

Xia Ruixi snorted coldly: "The person who made the incense was me, not you." Aren't you afraid that people will misunderstand you and go for you? Aren't you afraid that people will misunderstand you? ”

Xia Ruibei's face flushed: "I want to go to the second stick of incense, I can't be taken by that kid, he can only go to the third stick if he wants to." Remember to call me tomorrow morning. ”

I'm afraid this is her true purpose. Xia Ruixi lay down lazily: "Let's talk about it." I slept first. ”

Ruibei was anxious: "What are you talking about?" Whether you say yes or not is a word. ”

Xia Ruixi closed his eyes and ignored her. Xia Ruibei waited for a while. Seeing that Xia Ruixi didn't move, he leaned over and saw that he was already asleep. Rushing out with a grunt. "Don't think I can only beg you."

Xia Ruibei came out of the outhouse. Bumped into Wan'er head-on. Wan'er was knocked to the ground by her. I didn't see who it was. I thought it was another girl's mother-in-law. was about to scold Ruibei when she came over with a slap: "Die girl without long eyes." Dare to bump into me? "Chun'er sees that the situation is not good. Hurriedly sneaked in and called Xia Ruixi.

Wan'er was beaten to the point of stardom. didn't care about anything else, knelt on the ground and just begged for mercy. Xia Ruibei was in a particularly bad mood today, kicking Wan'er's calf. Snorted coldly. Walk away. The two mothers-in-law who guard the door usually think Wan'er likes to express herself. It seems that none of them are as smart and clever as her. I saw that she was beaten. Secretly happy not to help her up. Just talking cool words on the side, my heart is cold. I couldn't help crying and getting more and more sad.

When Xia Ruixi got the letter, he came out with his coat. Xia Ruibei had already walked away, leaving only Wan'er kneeling in the yard crying sadly.

When the two mothers-in-law saw Xia Ruixi coming out, Chun'er went over to help Wan'er, Fang pretended to come over to help, and persuaded: "Miss Wan'er, don't cry, you have to be careful when you walk in the future." ”

Wan'er cried and shoved them: "I don't want you to be merciful. After speaking, he buried his head in Chun'er's shoulder and cried so that he was not sad.

The mother-in-law said: "Ah, this is really kind as a donkey's liver and lungs." ”

"No one will treat you like a dumb person if you don't speak, get out!" Xia Ruixi snorted coldly, and the two mothers-in-law hurriedly smiled and retreated. The three masters and servants returned to the room, and Chun'er lifted Wan'er's trouser leg to take a look, and there was a large bruise on the leg. Xia Ruixi couldn't hold back her tiredness, asked Chun'er to find medicine to rub Wan'er, and comforted Wan'er a few more words before falling asleep.

Before dawn on the second day, someone came to call Xia Ruixi to get up.

Xia Ruixi was combing her hair, and the fourth aunt's wife came over, commanding Wan'er to change Xia Ruixi into gorgeous clothes, wear a lot of gold and jade jewelry, and rub powder and rouge.

Xia Ruixi felt that it was too much, so he said, "Auntie, wouldn't this be too gorgeous?" ”

The fourth aunt said: "Otherwise, yesterday was to facilitate walking, to show piety." Today is a big day, and you should dress up to pay your respects. ”

"Oh." She was justified in saying anything, Xia Ruixi had no choice but to let her tidy up, and after dressing up, the girls and mothers-in-law were full of praise. Xia Ruixi suddenly remembered that Xia Ruibei was going to burn the second incense, and hurriedly asked, "Did Beibei go there to call her?" She said she was going to burn the second incense. ”

Mrs. Fourth Aunt said: "I have already asked someone to call her, she should come over soon." ”

As a result, Xia Ruixi finished cleaning up here, and Xia Ruibei didn't come over, and the fourth aunt said, "Go and urge again, let's go over first." Wait for her as you walk. He ordered someone to light the lantern and personally escorted Xia Ruixi to the direction of the main hall.

When the group walked halfway, there was already a little monk waiting on the side of the road to lead everyone through the main hall. The mother-in-law who went to call Xia Ruibei hurriedly came over and said, "Madam, Miss Sanbiao went to the main hall half an hour ago. ”

Chun'er was in a hurry, and hurriedly whispered to Xia Ruixi: "Miss, won't the third miss be?" "The third miss is very selfish, and the second miss offended her again last night, who knows if she will do this kind of thing?

Xia Ruixi was also pregnant with Xia Ruibei if she wanted to burn the incense by herself, saying that she was not in a hurry, it was fake. If Xia Ruibei really does this, she will be angry again, and she can't do anything to Xia Ruibei, she will burn it if she doesn't burn it. The fourth aunt saw it in her eyes and was calm: "Don't worry, watch the road under your feet." There are people watching from the main hall, and if you don't see it, no one will want to burn this incense. ”

Jiang is still old and spicy, Mrs. Sigu, as the wife of a Beijing official, has been in this capital for so many years, what has not happened? It really made sense for Master Xia to hand over these two sisters and this important matter to her.

When everyone walked to the door of the main hall, they saw that the door of the main hall was locked, and there were five or six big monks standing outside. Both of them had extremely ugly faces and ignored each other, while Yan'er stood aside with her head down, like a wood carved clay sculpture.

A monk who seems to be in charge

The wife and her party came, and they hurriedly stepped forward to inquire, which made people open the main hall Ruixi and burn incense.

Xia Ruixi cheered up, took the incense handed by the monk, walked to the futon in the middle of the main hall and knelt down, closed his eyes and prayed silently, "Please Bodhisattva bless my father and mother in my previous life with happiness in their old age, no illness and no disaster." Please Bodhisattva bless my family in this life with peace, joy, and harmony. Please bless me with a good husband and a happy family. ”

After she finished inserting the incense in the incense burner, the little monk handed over the sign: "Does the female donor ask for a signature?" ”

Xia Ruixi's hand had already stretched out, and finally retracted again, "Thank you, little master, I won't ask for it." "If you ask for a bad sign again, won't it make the family unhappy? Since Master Xia had already begged for her a year ago, she also burned this incense stick now, so it would be good. Why bother looking for more things to do?

Xia Ruixi only crossed the threshold of the main hall with his back feet, and Xia Ruibei and Ah Ke's two feet had already stepped in, and both of them wanted to go to the second incense stick and didn't let anyone. Xia Ruibei glared: "Why do you want to rob me?" Obviously, I said that you will go to the third incense stick. ”

"When will I say this? Are you dreaming? Your family occupies the first place, so you can't take the second place as well, right? "Ah Ke didn't give an inch.

"Yesterday

If it were someone else, Mrs. Sigu could have come forward. But this is the Ou family, and the fourth aunt is not good at doing too much, she is not easy to speak, not only pretending not to see it, holding her head and saying, "Why does my head hurt so much?" ”

A mother-in-law said: "Madame thinks she is tired for days and suffers from the cold?" It's still early, Miss Cousin is already here, Madame will go back and rest for a while. ”

Mrs. Fourth Aunt hummed: "If you're not busy, just rest here for a while, and wait for Beibei to finish the incense and leave together." He tilted to the side.

Xia Ruibei understood that the fourth aunt was unwilling to help her, so she was very aggrieved, and looked at Xia Ruixi. Xia Ruixi understands that the fourth aunt may not want Xia Ruibei to wear this second incense, but it is difficult to say because of her identity and face. And that Ou Sishao, there is no shadow at all, and the fight must be the same idea, let Ah Ke and Xia Ruibei fight, whoever fights fiercely is whoever is. She is not good at making a sound, but she can make a look at Xia Ruibei and signal Xia Ruibei to fight.

Seeing that Mrs. Gu and Xia Ruixi didn't speak, Ah Ke said proudly: "See? Your aunt and sister are embarrassed to tell you lies. Let me go first, I can ignore the rude words you said earlier. ”

Xia Ruibei glared at Ah Ke hatefully, and while Ah Ke was not paying attention, she stepped on his feet suddenly, Ah Ke screamed, stunned, Xia Ruibei rushed over with her skirt and knelt on the only futon in the middle of the hall: "Quick!" Little Master, express the incense to me! "It seems that Master Xia's strong genes have not only been inherited by Xia Ruixi, but also inherited a lot by Xia Ruibei.

The little monk held back a smile and handed the incense to Xia Ruibei. Xia Ruibei was about to kowtow, but the incense in her hand was snatched away, and Ah Ke's face was flushed: "Only women and villains are difficult to raise!" You wicked woman, exactly like your sister! Today, I won't let you go, and everyone won't. ”

Xia Ruibei knelt on the ground and didn't get up: "If men and women don't kiss, I believe you dare to pull me up!" ”

Ah Ke lifted his robe and knelt down beside her: "What am I pulling you for?" I'm here to worship. ”

Xia Ruibei was dumbfounded: "You kneel crookedly, disrespectful to the Bodhisattva!" ”

Ah Ke snorted coldly: "There will be a lot of people who will come later, where will they be allowed to worship one by one?" If it is crooked, it will be crooked, and if the heart is sincere, the Bodhisattva will not blame me. ”

Xia Ruibei thought about it for a while, and hurriedly said: "In this case, I will also worship, I kneel more correctly than you, mine is second, and yours can only be regarded as third." Little Master, give me incense again. ”

The little monk wanted to hand out incense, "You dare!" Ah Ke pointed at the little monk viciously.

The little monk looked at the big monk beside him in embarrassment, and the big monk stepped forward to salute: "Amitabha, the quiet place of Buddhism, please don't be impatient." As long as you are in front of the Bodhisattva, all beings are equal, and sincerity is spiritual, there is no difference between these two incense sticks and three incense sticks. ”

Xia Ruixi had an idea, "Since that's the case, it's better for the two of you to go together." Her proposal was met with contempt from both men.

Xia Ruibei said: "I don't go with this kind of person." ”

"What's wrong with people like me? I'm not going to go with you yet. ”

The two argued for a while, and the great monk urged: "The hour is not early, the door will be opened soon, and the two donors are invited to make a decision as soon as possible." He also persuaded Ah Ke: "What if this donor lets this female donor?" This is also a good deed. ”

Xia Ruibei raised her chin proudly: "That's it!" You're a man, so you should let me. ”

"Why should I let you? Why didn't you let me? "Ah Ke is young and vigorous, where can he swallow this breath? To kneel there is not to be allowed.

A futon was thrown in front of Ah Ke accurately, and Ou Sishao, who had never seen each other, suddenly appeared and said: "Ah Ke kneels up if he still wants to put on incense, and gets up if he doesn't want to!" ”

Ah Ke knelt on the futon aggrievedly, Xia Ruibei was about to express her objection, and the fourth aunt's headache was also cured: "Beibei, don't worry so much." Didn't this Master just say that? Sincerity makes no difference. If it is delayed any longer, the people outside will come in, and neither of them will be able to burn it. ”

Xia Ruibei and Ah Ke had to calm down and go their separate ways. Xia Ruibei begged for a signature, glanced at it roughly, was in a good mood, and couldn't help but smile and look

Sign. Ah Ke hurriedly covered it: "What are you doing?" ”

Xia Ruibei pouted: "Stingy, what about it?" ”

Ah Ke said: "If you show me first, yours will show yours to you." ”

Xia Ruibei said proudly: "My nature is good, you ......"

Seeing that the two of them were fighting cocks just now, Mrs. Sigu actually got together again at this time, not caring about the defense of men and women at all, she felt uncomfortable in her heart, and her face sank: "Is Beibei okay?" Okay, go and ask Master to unsign. ”

Xia Ruibei responded, and after asking someone to untie the lot, her eyes fluttered, and she ran back like a treasure: "My aunt's second sister's incense is really good, she just burned the incense and smoked the good lot." ”

When Mrs. Fourth Aunt heard that it was signed, she also laughed, "What do you say?" ”

"Master said bittersweet first."

"Bitter before sweet?" Mrs. Fourth Aunt is a little uncomfortable, this girl hasn't suffered any hardships yet, which means that Xia Ruibei is about to suffer?

Ruibei saw that she was silent, and was a little anxious: "What's wrong?" ”

Ruixi also smacked the taste and said busily: "That means it's always good in the end, let's go?" Aunt? ”

The fourth lady came back to her senses and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Xia Ruixi noticed that Ah Ke over there had also unsigned, but his face was a little unsightly. Ou Qingjin comforted him in a low voice, his brows were more soothed, and he followed Ou Qingjin over to greet Mrs. Fourth Aunt.

Everyone went back to their rooms to rest, and the fourth aunt called the two Xia Ruixi sisters into her room, retreated, and suddenly changed her face, pointed at Xia Ruibei and said sharply: "Do you know the mistake?" ”

Xia Ruibei said inexplicably: "What's wrong?" I didn't make a mistake. ”

Mrs. Fourth Aunt sneered: "What's the matter?" I ask you, what did you do this morning without waiting for us to call you, and then you ran to the main hall alone? ”

Xia Ruibei said: "Aren't I afraid that kid has bad intentions and goes to burn incense first, which will ruin our big thing?" I told you that you scolded me for being a petty family and ignorant. I told my second sister that she didn't listen, so I had to go by myself. Luckily, I went early, and that kid wasn't a good person, and that's the idea. I would have known that you had locked the hall first, and someone was watching, so I didn't bother to go. ”

The fourth aunt saw that her appearance didn't look like she was telling a lie, and she didn't have a bad heart to snatch and burn this incense, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The tone was stern: "Your father left the matter to me, and I will naturally handle it." You are a girl's house, and you only take a girl to walk around in this temple full of monks in the middle of the night, and you talk and quarrel with young men, what kind of system is it? If it reaches the Sun family, do you still want to be a person? ”

Xia Ruibei bowed her head and said, "I know." Not in the future. But she thought in her heart, she begged for a good sign, and when she went back, maybe Sun was dead, what would she do with the Sun family?

Mrs. Sigu sighed and said that she had a headache and didn't want to eat breakfast, so she wanted to rest, so she let the two Xia Ruixi sisters go to have breakfast by themselves, take a good rest, and go down the mountain early tomorrow morning.

When the two sisters walked out of the courtyard, Xia Ruibei suddenly stopped and said, "I know what you think of me." Just now, my aunt asked me what I was doing in the main hall alone without waiting for you to call me early this morning, because I suspected that I was going to grab this incense stick with you, right? Do you think the same way? ”

Where could Xia Ruixi admit that he had really thought like this, and smiled: "Beibei, you think too much." ”

Xia Ruibei sneered: "How much do I think about it? I know what you think of me. I'm telling you, I'm not that stupid. I can still tell the priority of the matter, if whoever burns it is the same, I may still fight with you, but the masters have said that you have to burn it. In that case, what am I fighting with you for? Am I stupid? I'm kind enough to help you guard, if you don't thank me, forget it, still conceive me, when that kid robbed me, he didn't help me, the dog bit Lu Dongbin, and he didn't know the hearts of good people! ”

Xia Ruixi blushed a little when she said it, and it seemed that she was thinking of her by mistake, so she laughed: "Beibei, I really didn't mean that." It's not that I don't help you, I'm not good at talking. ”

Xia Ruibei snorted coldly: "Do you mean that or not, you know it in your own heart!" I'm not going to eat breakfast, you eat it yourself! As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and left, leaving Xia Ruixi there stunned, thinking that this girl didn't know how long she would be awkward with her.

Who knew that Xia Ruixi was too worried, not long after she entered her small courtyard, Xia Ruibei followed and touched again, and first pretended to give Wan'er a bottle of wound medicine, saying that she was upset last night and accidentally injured Wan'er Yunyun.

She tossed there for a long time, and when she saw that Xia Ruixi didn't raise her head, she asked with some surprise: "Second sister, have you had breakfast?" ”

Xia Ruixi didn't want to pay attention to her, and said lightly: "I didn't eat, I don't want to eat alone."

Xia Ruibei was silent for a moment, and whispered embarrassedly: "I didn't mean anything else just now, but I was a little angry with my aunt, so I lost my temper with you." Don't be angry with me, you can be angry with me if you're in a bad mood in the future. ”

Xia Ruixi sighed and ignored her.

Xia Ruibei rubbed for a while, but couldn't help it, with a scared face: "Second sister, is my signature bad?" ”

Xia Ruixi asked in surprise: "Who did you listen to?" "She and Mrs. Sigu didn't mention this matter, it stands to reason that no one else would say such things to Xia Ruibei?
