Chapter 219: Good and Evil Will Be Rewarded
The temple fair on the first day of the first lunar month is very important to the people of Lingxiao Inn. Back then, Ershan was caught at the temple fair and became a daughter-in-law, and Ling Chaofeng was also matched by his son last year, so that he met Xiaowan.
This year, the family came to visit again, counting the doll in Xiaowan's belly, there were two more people, and they were more prosperous year by year.
They went to the hospital to thank the doctor, and by the way, they took Xiaowan's pulse and looked at her body and the child in her belly, and the doctor said with a smile: "Everything is fine, it's good to walk around more." ”
After thanking the doctor, he went to the City God Temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and when he came out to walk again, he met the person who sold sugar gourds, and it turned out to be the little brother in the old years.
After Xiaowan married into the inn, Ling Chaofeng would give her pocket money from time to time, and the income outside the inn was also handed over to Xiaowan for safekeeping, and Xiaowan had almost no place to spend money, and she had saved a lot of silver in a year.
The little lady is now rich and rich, and she knows that Pei'er likes it, so she has to pay money to wrap all the sugar gourds for her son.
The little brother said happily that the children came to the temple fair with the New Year's money, just to take a few bites of delicious food, if they were all bought by Xiaowan, the children of other families should be disappointed. During the Chinese New Year, he didn't want to make any money, he wanted to make the children happy and happy, and save some blessings for himself.
Xiaowan sounded very moved, she came to buy it last year, and the little brother also gave the largest string to Pei'er, so he silently wished good people good rewards in his heart, only bought a string for Pei'er, and left.
The time of eating, drinking and having fun passed very quickly, and the family went to Lizhou Mansion to visit the Lantern Festival, and this year was almost over.
And after the Lantern Festival, Ling Chaofeng went out to do errands more frequently, after all, the emperor asked everyone to form a powerful sailor belonging to the Great Qi as soon as possible, and there was no delay for a moment.
Now on the seaside, there are countless skilled craftsmen, who need to use the best materials to build the strongest and most massive warships, and where to find the best materials, part of the burden falls on Ling Chaofeng's shoulders.
In the affairs of the inn, there are Uncle Biao and Aunt Zhang, Ling Chaofeng is not worried at all, but Xiaowan's body makes him feel uneasy. Every time I go out, I tell him again and again, especially the tiger brain, who has no serious son when he is crazy.
Today I have to leave home again, Pei'er lay on her father's back, and together they went to the door, Uncle Biao had prepared a horse for him, Ling Chaofeng patted his son on the back and said, "Come down, Dad is leaving." ”
Xiaowan took her son's hand, watched Xiang Gong turn over and get on the horse neatly, she advised: "In case of a heavy snowstorm, don't rush, even if it is a day or two late, how long can it be late." ”
"Got it, so are you, don't go out on a snowy day." Ling Chaofeng gave a few words of advice, and then rode away.
When her father walked away, Pei'er immediately asked Xiaowan: "Mother, can I stop reading and writing these days?" ”
Xiaowan shook her head and said, "It's only one day, it's okay, otherwise my mother will spoil you." ”
Pei'er pouted slightly, and Xiaowan coaxed him into the door and said, "Let's work hard today to do tomorrow's homework, and tomorrow we will go to the dock with Daqing to play." ”
As soon as he encountered reading and writing, Pei'er became an ordinary child, and if he was asked to settle down and work hard, he was simply reluctant to be punished.
After grinding for a long time, and didn't write a piece of paper, Xiaowan stayed on the side very patiently, even Aunt Zhang couldn't stand it, patted Pei'er's ass and said: "You deliberately bully your mother, don't you want to be your father, do you dare to rub it?" The little ass is a good beating. ”
Xiaowan still said good-naturedly: "It's okay, how can there be children who love to study and don't like to play." ”
Aunt Zhang smiled: "It's good to have a child who hurts her mother, Pei'er was also young at that time, and without you, the father and son are making trouble every day." As soon as Chaofeng met the child's affairs, he was anxious, and this little thing had to be beaten every three or five times. ”
Xiaowan rubbed her son's buttocks and said gently: "Pei'er is not afraid, there will be a mother in the future." ”
At this time, Su Su shouted downstairs: "Evening, people from your mother's village are here." ”
Xiaowan couldn't help frowning, and slowly came downstairs, it was the uncle she knew in the village but didn't say much, the man was tired of walking, drank hot tea, gasped and said: "Xiaowan, your mother is gone, your father asked me to inform you, you don't want to go, but I want to tell you." ”
Xiaowan once asked his father to send the half-dead person directly, naturally because she knew that the Xu family would never wake up again in this life. Father was timid and didn't dare, she didn't force him, and now that the person is really gone, I don't know if it was a natural death or his father was impatient.
Xiao Wan naturally didn't go home to attend Xu's funeral, so Uncle Tuo brought ten taels of silver to his father, and also wrapped two taels of silver and a large piece of sauce beef for others, and sent them away.
It was time for lunch, but Xiaowan had no appetite, so she sat with everyone for a while, and then went back to her room.
Not long after, Su Su came with a bowl of soup and said with a smile: "You should take a bite, otherwise Uncle Biao will worry that you will starve to death." ”
Xiaowan said with a smile: "Uncle Biao is afraid of starving me all day long." ”
Su Su said: "How good, my own father is not necessarily so good." ”
This is a joke, but at the moment, it is really inappropriate, Su Su hurriedly said: "Later, don't get me wrong." ”
Xiaowan sat down to drink soup and said, "That's how it is, my father treats me badly." ”
Su Su knew what Xiao Wan was sad about, so she said how she and her mother felt when her brother died, to put it mildly, they were all good people, using morality and ethics to restrain themselves, always thinking of forgiving and forgiving, but the reality is very cruel, not every bad person will change his ways, and not everyone is worthy of forgiveness.
"It's over." Su Su patted Xiaowan's hand and said, "Good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil, it is their time to come." ”
Xiaowan sighed softly: "My father is not old, I'm afraid he can't live alone, but I hope he doesn't marry, in case he meets a bad woman again, poor my younger brothers and sisters will suffer." No matter how bad the Xu family is, the child is always innocent. ”
Not long after, Pei'er came upstairs when she was full, pestered Xiaowan to tell a story, and listened to it, and the little fat dun fell asleep.
Pei'er, who was naturally asleep, flew out, and took advantage of Uncle Biao's absence in the kitchen to bring the remaining half of the sauce beef and a box of bad duck paws and down to the underworld.
The lord of Hades had been waiting by the Lechuan River for a long time, and when he ushered in the little dragon grandson, he ate the world's delicacies.
Pei'er asked him: "Lord Wang, Xu's Yangshou, just today?" ”
An old man and a young man agreed early on that on the day when Xu's was gone, Pei'er would send him something delicious, and by the way, check whether Xu's Yangshou is up to today.
Lord Hades pointed into the distance, only to see two little ghosts floating away with Xu's ghost, Pei'er sighed lightly and asked, "Will she go to the eighteenth layer of hell?" ”
The Lord of Hades held up the duck paws, shook his head and said, "Go to reincarnation, and taste all the evil you will do in this life in the next life." I can't lock up so many people in my hell. ”
Pei'er said: "Isn't that the next life, to have one more bad person for her?" ”
Lord Hades smiled: "Silly boy, there is never a shortage of bad people in this world, there are no bad people, where are the good people." ”
"What about my mother?" Pei'er asked, "Won't it be her next life, to torture the Xu family, right?" ”
Lord Yama squinted his eyes and said, "Little Dragon Sun, haven't I told you about it?" ”
"Say what?"
"I only have your mother's longevity in this life and this life, and there is no arrangement for the next life and the next life." Lord Hades took a sip of wine and said, "I am looking forward to it day and night, looking forward to your mother's longevity, I know what she will be like in the next life, I am so curious." ”
Pei'er swallowed her saliva and patted the old man's shoulder: "Lord Wang, I know why no one worships you anymore." ”
Lord Yama was stunned and asked Pei'er worriedly, "Do you still bring me something delicious?" ”
Let's say that Pei'er returned to the mortal world, so she floated to Qingling Village to take a look, Xu is naturally swallowed qi, and was discovered by her daughter this morning. At this moment, the family is already doing funerals, and the aunt and uncle wear linen and filial piety to receive the villagers who come to mourn.
Pei'er returned home, his mother was covering him with a quilt, he woke up slowly, and Xiaowan smiled and said, "What did you dream about, you kept laughing stupidly." ”
Pei'er was laughing with Lord Yama in the underworld, but he didn't expect that he would laugh when he was asleep, he whimpered lazily, and was about to pester his mother and hug him.
"You love to be coquettish more than Aunt Susu's little sister, Pei'er, you're a male doll."
Although Xiaowan said this, she couldn't hold back her heart to pamper her son, and the little guy said to her sensibly: "Mother, when I become my brother, I won't be spoiled, I want to set an example for my younger brothers and sisters." Her heart softened.
But Pei'er looked at her mother and thought of Lord Yama and said, I don't know the arrangements of my mother's next life, maybe my mother will return to the Buddha and continue to make a lotus, otherwise, will it be gone?
Pei'er can calculate everything, but she can't calculate her mother's future, she can only live one day at a time.
Lord Yama persuaded him that there is nothing more tangible than living well when he was alive, and the fate of their mother and son for more than 50 years in this life is enough.
On the same day, in the capital, the emperor and queen set off to travel, which was to go to Sichuan and Chongqing, to the queen's maiden home.
Among the accompanying ministers, Bi Zhenye was inexplicably named and followed, it was said that the Ministry of Industry had a project, and the emperor asked him to go to Sichuan and Chongqing by the way.
And among the accompanying daughters, there are also the eldest princess and the county lord of the Shen Wangfu family.
Naturally, Bi Zhenye followed the other ministers, at the back of the line, and the princess and county lord followed the queen in front, so that he would go all the way, and there would be no chance to meet. But knowing that Shen Qing was in the team in front of him, Bi Zhenye was full of energy every day, and others only regarded him as a young man.
The capital is far away from Sichuan and Chongqing, and it will pass through Lizhou Mansion on the way, and the queen has planned to go to Baisha County halfway, and on the day she left Beijing, she ordered someone to go to Baisha County to deliver news, and she was waiting for her at home in the evening.
