Chapter 447: Women are not called monks
"Monk?" Qing'er was startled and asked, "Sun Meiniang has become a monk!" β
He Angelica corrected her common-sense mistakes: "In the Ming Dynasty, there was a custom of going to the monks, in addition to fasting and fate, they also turned people into monks, men and women are not limited, men are monks or laymen, women are nuns or nuns, and those who don't want to shave their heads can also be brought out of the house." Once you leave home, all the bad things you did at home can be written off, regardless of the past, which is also a common practice. Speaking of this, she looked down at the gourd and shouted, "It still doesn't come from the truth!" Could it be that I'm usually too good-natured, so now you have half of everything you say and half of it is spitting! β
Qian Shi shuddered, did not hide it at the moment, and said eloquently: "Xiaoyou pleaded for the Sun family, and talked about the guilt and anxiety of the young lady after you dealt with the Sun family, so the old lady also began to wonder if the punishment of the Sun family was too severe. Mama Tang, who was present at the time, also said when she saw this, the guilt of the Sun family is the third lady, and Xiaoyou is your confidant, so his words should be true, besides, this year is not peaceful, and there were natural and man-made disasters at the beginning of the year, if the family forces a person to death again, it will inevitably hurt the Luo family, which is a bad omen. β
He Angelica sighed and asked: "The old lady listens to Mama Tang's words the most, so she will definitely no longer pursue the crimes committed by the Sun family against the Luo family?" β
Qing'er also interjected: "It's not good, Xiaoyi, Sun Meiniang has been completely gone, and her tongue has been bitten off, if she blames all her misfortunes on you, then she may be crazy just by hating you!" There is a saying that barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, and now that she has regained her freedom, she will not be blushing for a while and doing something crazy, right? β
Qian Shi buried his head and said: "Actually, the eldest young master and the second young master who heard the news at that time had this concern, although the eldest young master became ill and became a child at that time, but he still stood up and said something useful. He said, a young lady, you are kind-hearted, and you will be sad if anyone is bad, so Xiaoyou's words can't explain anything; Second, the Sun family hates the Luo family and the old lady, she also has a younger brother who is an official in Beijing, if the two meet, the Sun family will say that the Luo family has been wronged, what should her brother do if he comes to trouble the Luo family? At the same time, the second young master also said that Xiao You had crashed into a car in his early years, and he had a headache a few days ago, and now the second young master is still helping Xiao You treat his encephalopathy, so Xiao You's words can't be taken seriously. β
"What's the old lady's reaction?" Although he knew the result, He Angelica still wanted to find out how Sun Meiniang escaped, and it was all cured to that point, and let her run away, which really made people's teeth itch.
"The old lady was moved by the words at once," Qian Shi replied, "Don't look at the eldest young master's illness, what he said has poked the point, and even Mama Tang no longer pleads for the Sun family." But just when Sun was immediately pulled back into the stone chamber and locked up, a Buddha horn came from outside the wall of Xiaogua Lake, loud and clear, and we were separated from the outer street by more than a dozen houses, but we heard it clearly, and soon there was a small man on the door who said back and forth that there was a monk in tattered clothes who wanted to see the old lady. The old lady felt that he was a master, and the monk had to give two points of face, and in front of a large group of people, he could not ignore him. β
"Why?" Qing'er Baimu, "Isn't the monk who walks the streets and alleys just like a beggar?" β
He Angelica also relieved his doubts and said: "Don't you remember, the old business of today's Long Live Lord is also 'walking monks' and 'beggar sons of heaven', so now there is an unwritten custom, in the Ming Dynasty, walking monks knock on the door of which family, if it is the first time to come to the door, then the family will definitely receive a meal, eat and be full; if the monk opens his mouth for the first time to turn into a thing, and the thing is not too valuable, then the family should give him the thing to show respect for the saint today." β
"I'm baba Isn't that a blatant robbery! β
He Angelica knocked on Qing'er's head: "I'm just going to smack you, can you pay attention to the ban when you speak, in front of the girl, maybe there are ears on the wall, do you want to question the holy heavenly?" β
Qian Shi hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The maid will never dare to divulge a word, and the maid will not dare to learn from Xiaoyou to eat inside and out and talk nonsense!" β
Qing'er rubbed her head and said hatefully: "Xiao Yi really treats that Han boy as his own brother, and he is much more intimate to Brother Zhu, Cicada Yi, and even my aunt and grandmother." Unexpectedly, in the end, he raised a jackal that could bite his master! The affairs of Taoyao Courtyard have always been internally digested and never spread out, so Xiaoyi and I both regard this place as their home, but Xiaoyi's godbrother told her what she yelled in her nightmare at night, even if it didn't cause any bad results, the incident itself was too chilling. So, that footman took Sun Meiniang's goods away? Asked to be a daughter-in-law? β
Qian Shi nodded: "The old lady originally didn't plan to let go of the Sun family, but the old monk introduced by the little maid looked like a very cultivated monk, and he said a lot of truth in one mouth, and the slave and maid couldn't recite those words, in short, in the end, the old monk took the Sun family away." Also, the old lady fell in love with the monk, and felt that he spoke clearly, and accurately told a few things that happened to the Luo family today, which was not bad at all, so the old lady asked him to recite the Qingping Sutra for the Luo family in the small dojo by the ancestral tomb for three days, and recited a peace to the Luo family, and the monk also agreed. I'm afraid that he hasn't left yet, and the dojo of the ancestral tomb on the outskirts of the city, the Sun family may still follow him. "Qian Shi actually doesn't know whether the monk recited scriptures to the Luo family at all, but saying something like this will make a contribution, maybe He Angelica will not be so angry with Xiaoyou.
"Why do you find a monk outside to chant sutras?" He Angelica was a little strange, "The Luo family enshrines the lamp oil and incense of six or seven temples such as Sanqingguan and Hulu Temple all year round, and Qingping Jiao has always only looked for that group of people. And a few days ago, didn't two very responsive Taoists come to the house to exorcise evil spirits for the ancestral shrine? "Bai Yangbai, is there a new trick, and the old lady is not satisfied?
"But then," replied the old lady, "he frightened the old lady with his words, but the next day there was no one to be seen, and both of them ran away without a trace." The old lady was anxious, feeling that the Luo family was in a big disaster, and the girl was persuaded by the side, the two asked for a sky-high price of several thousand taels, and now they left without making money. Since they are liars, the alarmist things they say cannot be taken seriously. β
He Angelica gritted his teeth secretly, can't Bai Yangbai have a beginning and an end, every time he suddenly disappears. Qing'er asked: "The Taoist priest at home is gone, why don't you go to the nearby Taoist temple to find it?" It's not just as much as Xiaoqiang, the kind of person who eats and drinks. β
Qian Shi continued: "Although the old lady was not so anxious at that time, she still wanted to find a few monks and Taoists with Taoism to discuss the strange things that the ancestral tomb and ancestral shrine of the Luo family were not affected when the ground moved. But I went to the gourd temple to find someone, but I only saw an empty temple, and I gradually found out that for some reason, the Yangzhou government called the entire Yangzhou monks there, and never came out again. Therefore, that day there was a matter of Sun's throwing into the lake, and the old lady was so precious that the old monk who went to the party, he said that Fodu was destined to be a person, and he wanted to cross Sun's monkhood, and the old lady gave Sun to him. β
After telling the whole story of the matter, Qian Shi looked at He Angelica worriedly, and pleaded: "Although Xiao You saved the Sun family at the beginning and helped her say some good things, but later as soon as the eldest young master and they arrived, Xiao You didn't open his mouth again to continue to intercede for the Sun family, Miss didn't believe it, you can ask Cicada Yi, Mint, and Big Head them, I guess he regretted it after he finished saying bad things about Miss." And Xiaoyou he is really sick, in the last few times, talking and doing things, he suddenly squatted down with his head in his hands, shouting loudly that he had a headache, and there was someone whispering to him next to his ear, which made me afraid. β
"Whispers?" He Angelica wondered, "What kind of disease is that, but I have never heard of it." "Seeing that Qianshi's expression is very serious and sincere, it doesn't look like a casual lie.
Qian nodded pragmatically and said, "Xiao You, he only suffered from the headache last month, and he used to be fine, and he didn't have a single illness in the whole year last year." I asked him to go to a serious doctor, but he refused to go, saying that he was most assured of your medical skills and would treat him when you were free. Later, the second young master visited the door and prescribed two kinds of pills, saying that Xiaoyou had a head wind, and it would be fine if the winter passed. β
He Angelica was silent for a while, let Qian Shi stand up and reply, and asked, "Do you know why the old lady is in a hurry to find me?" Do you think I'm too homesick and have lived outside for too long? "Half a month away from home, it's been a long time.
Qian Shi shook his head and said: "The old lady has long known that Miss You went to Miss Qing for the New Year, and you didn't care much, saying that the girl's family was playing in one place." But just yesterday, the old lady suddenly caught fire at home, looking for you to find the posture in the sky. Let the two grandmothers come to Taoyao Courtyard first, and ask you when you can come back from Guanfu, saying that the old lady has an order, let someone who is familiar with the path go to Guanfu to bring you back, and the old lady is anxious to find it. Then Cicada Yi stood up and said, Miss, you made an appointment to swim in the lake with Miss Qing, and it is unknown if you may not be in Guanfu. β
Qing'er nodded, this is what she instructed Cicada Yi last time, in case there is really a situation where Old Taijun Luo summons him immediately, he can also delay it for two or three days.
"But I sent my grandmother away, and half an hour later, the old lady sent a second wave of people to ask the cicada to lead her to Guanfu, and spread the old lady's words, if Miss is not there during the day and goes to play on the street, you will always go back to Guanfu to sleep at night."
He Angelica handed her a cup of warm jasmine tea, she was flattered and took it with both hands, took a sip and continued: "At that time, the pomegranate in the old lady's house was also there, give the cicada a look, the two walked to the corner of the wall, muttered, what was said, the slave didn't know. Then Cicada Yi led the way to Guanfu, and the two young ladies didn't see any of them, and asked the people in Miss Qing's yard, only to know that you haven't been back to Guanfu for several days. β
Qing'er and He Angelica glanced at each other, both thinking about their words, they are not in Luofu, and they don't live in Guanfu, what should they do? was arrested, how to reply to the old lady this time, how to get past it?
Qian Shi didn't finish speaking: "They came back to report to the old lady, and there was a mouthy mother-in-law who said that Miss Guan Si had disappeared mysteriously, and the old lady was in a hurry, and she was noisy for people to report to the official, and Mama Tang and Miss Ji couldn't persuade them, and they were making a lot of trouble, but the son of the Feng family sent a person who looked like a steward, saying that his sister Miss Feng met you on the street a few days ago, and the three of them talked and laughed and went to the Feng family to play at first sight, and they simply lived in the Feng family when they had fun, and they are still in the Feng family." β
"Did the old lady believe it?" He Angelica hurriedly asked.
It's just that she didn't expect Chang Nuo to be so kind to help, but she forgot that there are still a few eyeliners inserted by Chang Nuo in her Taoyao Courtyard! It seems that until she hands over her "heart's blood", Chang Nuo's eyeliner will always stay with her. After King Ning "broke off" with her in the Jing Pavilion, Chang Nuo didn't remove the eyeliner, and it was a long line! In the end, in Luo's house and Taoyao Courtyard, those people are Chang Nuo's eyeliner? She didn't want to marry into the Meng family with Chang Nuo's people!
"Of course I do." It's strange why Miss asks this, could it be that she doesn't actually live in the Feng family? After a pause, he said, "The old lady said that she would let someone go to the Feng family to bring you back, but the Feng family steward said, Miss, you drank two more glasses with Miss Feng, not to mention the strength of the wine, and you also contracted a little cold." After seeing the doctor, he said, if you don't move the place, it will be fine in two days; If you are in a hurry to come back and the wind blows, I am afraid that it will take a few days to get better. When the old lady heard this, she had to give up for the time being, and asked the steward of the Feng family to go to the medicine house to get some pills and bring them to you to eat. That's all the maid knows, Cicada Yi may have heard something from Pomegranate, Miss, do you want to call her over and ask? β
He Angelica bowed: "Go and call her in." β
"What about Xiaoyou...... "Qianshi asked hesitantly. The young lady didn't get angry after hearing the whole thing, was she really not angry, or was she too angry, but hid it in her heart?
"What is he doing now?" He Angelica asked.
"I kept him in the house all the time," said Qianshi distressedly, "and he ignored him when he scolded him through the window; I brought him water and food, and knocked on his window and he wouldn't open it. I was in a hurry, and shouted, if you want to live, you should do it, or I will call you dead and call it to everyone! He snorted at this point, leave me alone, I'm fineβthat's it, today is the third day, and I'm dying! β
He Angelica groaned and said, "Speak slowly about everything else, you call me the cicada clothes first, and then persuade Xiaoyou to eat something, go quickly." β
When she heard that the young lady knew the whole thing, she was willing to ask He Dangyou to say "Xiaoyou", and she was slightly relieved. Yes, Miss even gave Xiao You the same surname, she must have loved him very much, compared to ordinary people, even if she makes a mistake, she can be forgiven. I was ordered to go out at the moment, and it was no problem. And as soon as she left, Qing'er said angrily: "What does he mean!" I am most optimistic about him on weekdays, and I plan to choose one of the most handsome of my A, B, C and Ding to give him as his wife, and now he is doing something to betray you, which is too chilling! β
"It's not a betrayal," He Angelica took a sip of tea and said neutrally, "It's basically the truth, and he hasn't revealed any of our secrets, I really don't believe that he will be bought by those people in the Sun family." I will think about this matter later, and I am now very curious about what happened to the old lady who was so anxious to find me. β
At this moment, the door slammed open, and the cicada clothes pecked in like an arrowbird, as if it had been saving for half a lifetime, just waiting for the amazing momentum that it said today and at this time. He Angelica hurriedly spoke first: "I already know about Xiaoyou, you can tell me why the old lady is looking for me first." β
"The Meng family has come to propose!" Cicada Yiyuan opened her eyes and shouted, "The old lady refused!" β
"Why?!" Qing'er also widened her eyes.
