Chapter 137: Bad Tail, Good Head
Li Yan hummed casually, the front cabin and the back cabin are not important, he is on the ship, which is good. Intuitively, she felt that Pei Qing had been away from the boat all the way, not because he had a lot of things, but because he was avoiding her as much as possible, and he was still on the boat today, which was good!
Li Yan ate breakfast happily, walked around the cabin a few times as usual, sat down and began to copy the scriptures.
My grandmother and mother were both devout laymen, and for as long as she can remember, she has seen her mother sit at the table every day, no matter how busy she is, to copy scriptures and pray for her grandmother's blessings. Grandma lived to be more than eighty years old, the day before she went in her sleep, she seemed to have a sense, and pulled her to say for a long time, she was young, and her grandmother said so much, she only remembered two things, one was to tell her to be more sensible in the future, to feel sorry for her mother, and the second thing was to say that she had sins in the first half of her life, and she could live peacefully and joyfully to this age, all because her mother copied scriptures and prayed for her.
In the second year after my grandmother left, my mother's kidney failed, and in helplessness, she began to copy scriptures and pray for her mother......
Li Yan held the pen and was stunned, how she survived for a while, she doesn't remember anymore, it seems that from that time on, she hated all religions......
Li Yan sighed, made up her mind, and began to copy the scriptures, although she hated religion, but the habit of copying the scriptures, but has been maintained, when copying the scriptures, she seemed to return to the childhood, the very old but very clean square courtyard, the sun is just right, grandma sat under the porch to choose vegetables, mother shook off her clothes vigorously, one by one to dry on the old yellowed bamboo poles, a fresh water vapor permeated the yard......
Yushu was putting a pot of cooled honeysuckle water on the smoker, Li Yan smelled the fragrance of honeysuckle, and lowered his eyes to copy the scriptures.
Now it is not the past, this is the scent of honeysuckle, not the smell of water that was fresh and slightly fishy in the past......
Pei Qing stood in the front cabin, staring at Li Yan, who was sitting upright and copying scriptures, through the wide-open front cabin window and the gap between the rear cabin window and the rear cabin window, for a while, motioned to Jin Dou to put down the curtain, looked down at the thick stack of scriptures with elegant fonts and profound skills in his hand, and slowly turned it up.
"It's all silent." Gao Liang said in a low voice, Pei Qing sighed, flipped back a few sheets, and looked at it carefully, there was no mistake, there was no trace of reluctance...... How many years has she copied her period?
He didn't know her age, when she was still in the Cloudy Villa, she knocked bricks and tiles, cut walls and dug the ground to look at the ignorant and innocent look everywhere, he once thought that she might be younger than Li Cui, at most as old as Li Cui...... As she climbed down the back mountain, he became more and more unsure of her age.
How many years has she copied this scripture now? How many times have you copied it? Why do you want to copy the scriptures, and why do you have to copy so many scriptures? What kind of person was she before? What kind of life is it?
"Go ashore and see if there's anything new." Pei Qing looked at it for a while, put a stack of scriptures on a few places, and instructed Jin Dou.
Li Yan had too much time on the boat, and throughout the morning, he was almost intermittently copying the scriptures, copying the scriptures, just cleaning his hands, Gao Liang reported through the door curtain, the seventeenth master got a few fresh dishes, and asked Li Yan whether to send her to the rear cabin or to the front cabin for dinner.
Li Yan's eyes were slightly bent, and before the smile came out, he retreated, of course, to the front cabin.
…………
In the capital, on the day of Yushu's message, Zhou Rui thought hard for a long time and a night, because of a fire in the White Horse Temple and Li Yan was dragged into these two major events, the entire capital is in chaos at the moment, Li Mansion and Huainan Wangfu are now surrounded by the army in front of the palace, and in the crisis, several ideas he thought of before were completely useless by the current situation.
She took a big risk and asked Yushu to come back to him, just to explain that thing, no matter what that thing was, it must be very important to her, maybe she went to the capital, to the Li Mansion, just for that kind of thing, she is in the situation now, this thing, for her, it is even more urgent and necessary......
In any case, he had to get it as soon as possible and get it to her.
Zhou Rui came out of the house with bloodshot eyes, stood in the morning light, slowly punched, went out to buy a few steamed buns, bought a few cold salad haggis and other side dishes, a bowl of thick soup, and carried it into Yu Shu's small courtyard.
Xiong Keding and Fan Botao were both there, seeing Zhou Rui coming in with a steaming breakfast, Fan Botao quickly extinguished the fire under the stove, and greeted the bowl with a smile, "Is it mutton soup?" Da Lang is careful, I don't know how it is today, maybe it's the same as yesterday, just rely on a full meal in the morning, what is the stuffing of the buns? ”
"Both." Zhou Rui handed several large bags of buns and side dishes to Yu Shu and Xiong Keding and put them away, Fan Botao took a big bowl, poured soup, and the four of them sat down around the table for breakfast.
"Uncle and Fourth Master, are you okay?" Zhou Rui looked at Xiong Keding and asked.
He is a person who should have died, here in the capital, there may not be no people who know him, when this kind of storm is coming, he should not appear, yesterday afternoon when he came back from the White Horse Temple, he did not go to the mansion on an errand.
"How can it be good? Uncle is okay, fourth master...... Alas, don't talk about the fourth master, I'm also afraid, that Miss Li lived in our house for several days before she went to the White Horse Temple, so I really want to talk about it...... It's not that it can't be passed, Yangzhou side, I can't wait to ......"
"That's not going to happen, this is a big crime of rebellion, the entire Huainan Mansion has to be put into it, although Yangzhou is not smart, it will not be stupid like this." Zhou Rui interrupted Xiong Keding's words.
"I'm just saying, I really want to take our uncle and fourth master to pay for it......" Xiong Keding was full of trouble.
"That's not it, we all know that the prince doesn't have that ambition, what about the Yuan family?" Zhou Rui didn't worry much about being placed on the crime of rebellion, this crime was too big, whether it was the Huainan Mansion or the Yuan family, they couldn't afford to be implicated.
"I was about to say this." Xiong Keding wrinkled his brows, "The eldest man looked for me and Lao Fan, asked that Li ......, asked carefully, and asked her again and again if there was any difference before, Lao Fan and I both pretended to be stupid, and didn't dare to say anything, that ...... Who knows if it's a human or a ghost. Xiong Keding's face was shocked.
"It's human, it's just, it's not an ordinary person. Is Miss Seven still in the Yuan family? Zhou Rui glanced at Yu Shu, who lowered his head and drank the soup.
"Yes, I said I was scared. Someone seriously saved her life. Da Lang, I think the old man means that he wants to ...... that person Girl, take it into your own hands. Xiong Keding's upper body leaned towards Zhou Rui and said in a low voice.
"I want to take Miss Li in my hands, I'm afraid that he is not the only one, don't worry, that person is not an ordinary person." Zhou Rui suppressed the worries in his heart, and his face was calm and indifferent.
