Seeing that the bodies of the children in the house were not as good as one another, the old lady's heart was worried about this, and she was not at peace day and night. Compared with before, the old lady woke up more often at night, and Zhu'er and other girls worked harder and harder to serve.

On the night of early November, the old lady woke up in a dream, saying that she had dreamed of a black cloud around the tree, and the bamboo and others were relieved in every way, and they entered some soothing soup, but it didn't work, and the old lady opened her eyes in a trance until dawn. When it was daylight, he said that he remembered that the tree in the dream was the old locust tree outside the Zhongfu, and said that the leaves had fallen out.

Because the jewel was hung on this tree before, the old lady said this, which made her frightened, and the leaves fell off, which was mostly unlucky.

One day, the old lady asked Zhu'er to bring the pair of acacia wood hand strings and beads left by the old lady before her death, and since then, she has held it in her hand day and night, and prayed silently. Seeing her like this, Zhu'er became more and more worried, looked for a vacancy, and quietly went to Nanfu to find her aunt, and asked if she could invite Master Pudu of Baiyue'an to come over and accompany the old lady to give a lecture.

Zhu'er did it here, and after thinking about it again and again, she eliminated it before she found her aunt.

Zhu'er also confessed to her aunt: "In Dongfu, the eldest grandmother's body has been dragged from October to the present, and the uncle's health is not good, so I dare not talk to the eldest wife; The second wife is busy taking care of the house, everything is as thick as numbness, and the second girl's legs are not good, and it is impossible to ask her to increase her trouble; After the Mid-Autumn Festival in Xifu, the third master's illness became worse day by day, who dares to say anything else? Only everything is safe here in Nanfu, or can alleviate the worries of the old lady's heart, a few days ago, I saw the old lady called to take the rosary left by the old lady back then, most of them are to the Buddha, and the heart has accumulated knots. ”

The aunt praised Zhu'er for being careful, praised her for being thoughtful, because she said that she would not be able to forgive the old lady coldly, afraid that she would not be accepted, of course, she was afraid that the old lady would blame Zhu'er for doing things privately, so she said: "The weather is getting colder and colder, ask the old lady to go out for a walk, scatter her heart, and go far away, I'm afraid I can't!" Hearing you say that, we have to find a reason, and it is best to do something in the house, and have fun and dispel her old man's heart. It can be calculated, there is no other reason today, but November 17, it is the winter solstice, and it is the Christmas day of Amitabha Buddha, so it is better to use this as a reason, you first look at the meaning of the old lady. If you nod your head, I'll ask Master Pudu to come over. I haven't seen a Buddha or a ghost in the house for so many years, and this thing will arise, and I am a little afraid that the old lady will not want to. You just said, hang red to add joy, hang the old locust tree outside the middle house, nearby, not afraid of labor her body. ”

Zhu'er said happily: "It's a good idea." Clear-sighted people know that our practice is to offer Buddha, and the old lady will not be unexpected! Besides, the first third master is critically ill, don't you also ask Master Pudu to come over and pray? ”

Aunt Mi said: "At this time and that time, that is the old lady worried about your third master. It may not be her turn to do this. ”

Zhu'er understood, returned to Shouzhongju, was careful in everything, and took care of it carefully. I always want to find an opportunity to give a message to the old lady, but I don't have a chance to say it, the old lady is sick and wilted, and it is not suitable!

Coincidentally, on this day—

On the fifth day of the first day of November, Yu Qi came to say goodbye, and saw that the old lady's spirit was depressed and languishing, and her complexion was much more depressed than the day before. Anbi, pulled Zhu'er out slightly, and asked her how the old lady was doing in the past few days?

Zhu'er shed tears and whispered: "When I woke up a few days ago, I was sweating and had a nightmare. ”

It turned out that the old lady had a nightmare that day, and she told her not to let anyone who lived in Shouzhong be allowed to report outside. Therefore, Yu Qi didn't know. After a few days of asking for peace, I only felt that the old lady's headache was caused. Who knows, it is these heart-sick demons who are torturing her.

So, Yu Qi said: "Then do you tell the wife and the old man?" ”

Zhu'er said: "How dare you say? The old lady is not allowed, and in addition, the people in several houses are not going well, so don't you add to the blockage by telling them to go. However, I was very worried in my heart, and I quietly went to tell my aunt. ”

Yu Qi said: "What did Aunt Mi say? ”

Zhu'er told Yu Qi about the sum of her aunt, and after hearing it, Yu Qi felt that it was appropriate. But Zhu'er said that until today, she didn't find a chance to deliver a message to the old lady.

Zhu'er was very annoyed.

Yu Qi said: "Sister, I'm busy with other things, I'll talk about this." ”

One day later, Yu Qi came to ask for peace again, and said to the old lady casually: "Old lady, in recent days, I often have a dream, always dreaming of eating persimmon cakes for the old lady, and I feel uneasy, and I see the goose carrying the old lady away, so I am helpless, so I am pitiful." ”

The old lady looked at Yu Qi weakly, and said with a smile: "I see what the bamboo girl said to you, it annoys you." Dreams are born from the heart, and the heart moves with the sound. Do not listen to other people's slander. It's good to live on your own. ”

Yu Qi admired the old lady's shrewdness very much, and saw at a glance what she wanted to say, and said hurriedly: "What the old lady said is true." I wanted to apologize to the old lady, but I blamed me for being willful that day, ignoring the old lady's goose meat, and asking the old lady to eat that bite of persimmon cake. That's it. ”

The old lady said, "The more you talk, the more confused you become, what's wrong with me?" ”

Yu Qi paused for a while, and then said straight to the point: "For so many days, the wife of the house has not come to ask for peace, and the old lady has not come to them, because she does not want them to see the old lady like today." It's not because I ate my persimmon cake. ”

The old lady said: "I am a crippled body and old bones, and old diseases are entangled. I don't have the spirit to call them anymore to listen to their noisy chatter. ”

Yu Qi said: "In this way, the old lady doesn't want to see me, listen to me these words." ”

The old lady pulled Yu Qi over, hugged her in her arms, patted her, and said, "Son, I see you differently from others. Why don't I want to see you? I listen to everything you say, and I like to hear it. Oh, you follow me every day, talking to me about yourself. ”

Zhu'er and the other girls saw that the old lady was relieved, let go of the conversation and talked to Yu Qi, and withdrew independently.

When she saw that the people had gone out, the old lady said, "Your mother did not want to listen to me when she was alive, so she went early!" It's a pity, it's hateful! If she had half of yours, it wouldn't have given me a headache to this day. But if not, how could you be where you are today? Come to think of it, it is destined by heaven to be irreversible, and everything has a cause and effect. ”

As she spoke, the old lady's tears fell.

Yu Qi's tears also filled her eyes.

Yu Qi said: "When my mother was alive, she often said interesting things in the house, saying that she was young and careless, and did not listen to the advice of adults. Mother regrets the beginning, so we are not allowed to behave out of line, everything should be taught according to the sisters and sisters in the house, the old lady thinks that I am good now, then I dare not be, afraid that one day, I will do something more out of the ordinary than my mother, and disappoint the old lady. Please take back what the old lady just said. ”

The old lady said: "I can't control your mother, but you, I can control it!" And listen to me. Oops, it's a pity she regretted it late. Fortunately, the three of you were born very outstanding, and I am much relieved. All these years, when I think of your mother, my heart ......"

Yu Qi wiped away her tears, stood up, wiped her tears for the old lady, and said with a smile: "I promised Sister Zhu'er to persuade the old lady, let's talk about it, how can I make the old lady sad!" I won't say it, and the old lady is not allowed to talk about the old days again! And he said, "It seems that the old lady and I are most close in heart, and my heart is not still." ”

The old lady took her again and said, "Son, it's rare that you have filial piety." Then you say, how do we calm our minds? You say, let's be at peace together. ”

That's right to the point.

Yu Qi rolled out of the old lady's arms and smiled mischievously: "Old lady, my mother often said that she likes to climb the locust tree outside. Otherwise, you will follow my request. I want to hang "a thousand silk silks" on the tree, nostalgia for the old people, add joy, and pray for the old lady, want to come, can make a lively day, the old lady will come out to hang together, we will have a bad heart, all hang out, you say, okay? ”

The old lady muttered, "Past feud? "Lost in thought.

Yu Qi blinked his eyes and said, "Old lady, what is the previous feud?" It is a thousand silk red silk. It is to take strips of red silk cloth and tie them on trees to add festive ones. We pray for blessings and prayers in the south, and there are also this, which is very lively and very crowded. ”

The old lady suddenly woke up and said, "Oh! That's it! It's also fun! If your sisters, sisters, and brothers come, it's going to be a lot of fun. They, three plagues and six diseases, you are playing this trick for them! ”

Yu Qi said yes again and again.

The old lady said strangely: "Why did you suddenly have this idea?" ”

Yu Qi said: "Don't hide it from the old lady, it was Sister Zhu'er who found her aunt, and the aunt played the game." It is said that November 17 is the Christmas day of Amitabha Buddha and the winter solstice. If you do this kind thing on that day, it is one thing to be happy with yourself, and another thing to pray for, and it is rare for everyone to get together, so why not do it? ”

The old lady said strangely: "I said it! You girl came out of thin air, and your brain is not as flexible as it gets. It turns out that there is a master to guide you! ”

Mentoring? These words entered Yu Qi's heart, yes, there is indeed a master to guide him, but it is not an aunt, but the dead Bojing Lao Nun of Xianyuan Nunnery!

At this moment, Yu Qi smiled and said nothing.

The old lady also approved of the matter, and it was settled.

Yu Qi came out to tell Zhu'er, Zhu'er was very happy to hear it, and quickly put down the work in his hand to report to his aunt. When the aunt heard this, she said, "The old lady is concerned about the girls and the masters, if they can come that day, the old lady's heart must be untied." ”

So, before November 17, my aunt was very busy, discussing with Pudu what to do that day, going to Dongfu to lobby for a while, Xifu to lobby for a while, and Beifu for a while. Why lobbying? Because I couldn't break the old lady's nightmare, and I couldn't talk about ghosts and gods, I had to say "think of the source of drinking water", "don't forget to plant trees in the shade", "flowers bloom and remember old roots" and so on.

By the 17th, everything was in order.

On the first night, my aunt hurriedly came to report to the old lady: "I heard that there are happy things in Shouzhongju, except for the old man in the house, who has important things to do, the rest of the people of all sizes say that they want to come to hang red and get a touch of joy." He also told the old lady the set of "drinking water and thinking of the source", "not forgetting the tree planter in the shade", and "remembering the old roots when the flowers bloom and the leaves".

When the old lady heard this, she was very happy and looked forward to it.

Early the next morning, everyone was saying that they were going to come to Shouzhongju, and suddenly, it snowed heavily.

This can be in response to the sentence: the first snow on the winter solstice, the snow is a mega year, and everything goes well.

It hadn't snowed earlier, and the old lady got up and asked the bamboo to dress up and pile them on her body in a festive manner. But when she heard the news that it was snowing heavily, the old lady changed her mind and said that she should wear winter clothes and leave the festivities to the red silk tree and the children.

After putting it on, Zhu'er took out the cloak and said, "Old lady, it's snowing, this treasure should come out." "I also called a hand warmer, and all the warm equipment was waiting.

The old lady was interested, walked out of the courtyard, saw the snow flying, sighed, and said, "This year's snow has fallen early." It's also a good fit. Go and talk to them about whether you want to keep half of the red and hang it elsewhere! ”

Zhu'er didn't understand where the old lady wanted to hang the other half of the red silk, so she first summed up with her aunt, and it was enough to toss and have fun outside her life, and then go elsewhere, but she couldn't work her old man's body? I hesitated.

But the old lady insisted and said, "The garden in the backyard near the Xifu side was planted with plum blossoms in the past, and the plum forest is also blooming today, right?" In the past, they all liked to go there to play, there were lotus flowers under the bridge, apples, pear blossoms, mandala flowers, and camellias on the slopes...... At this time, the Oiran should be a plum blossom. ”

Zhu'er said: "I'm afraid that the snow will be slippery, and it will be difficult to walk." ”

The old lady said: "I see that you are lazy in your legs and feet, and you just know that you enjoy it with me, and you are unwilling to work, right?" ”

Zhu'er was helpless, and Mei'er and other girls went to tell people the meaning of the old lady. When everyone heard this, they all agreed, saying that they were in line with the old lady's wishes.

Because it is snowing, everyone in the house is happy, there are those who are sick, they have forgotten the pain, and they all want to hurry to Shouzhongju to hang red, and then go to Meilin to enjoy the flowers and snow.

When she came to Yu Qi, she saw the snow, and heard that she went to the garden to enjoy the plum blossoms, and suddenly became melancholy, she said to Zisu: "Last year's plum blossoms are still in front of me, who knows that it is this season again." ”

Yes, it's time again.

A lot of things happened before and after the plum blossom brand last year, and this year is the same, but this time, it's about things outside the house.
