Chapter 009: Hui Ji will be hurt
Not long after Mama Cui left, Hongyu walked in, "Miss, everything is done, everything is as Miss expected, it's just ......"
"Just what?" Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at Hongyu with some confusion.
Hongyu paused, thought for a while, and then whispered, "It's just that the slave bumped into someone." ”
"Who?"
"The Seven Princes."
It's a pity!
Xiao Xiwei's eyelids jumped suddenly, and an undercurrent suddenly surged in her heart that even she couldn't distinguish.
If there is another person in this world that she can't face, it can only be a pity. It's just that in her memory in her previous life, at this time, Chu Xizhi never came to Chao'an Temple at all? How did he suddenly appear here? And then he said......
It's you......
Xiao Xi stood up slightly, why did he say that?
"Miss, Hongyu, what are you talking about?" Biyun was confused when he heard it, and his face was ignorant.
"It's fine. This is a family affair of the Loyal and Brave Waiting Mansion, and I don't think he will interfere. Xiao Xi calmed down slightly, and said lightly to Hongyu.
Early the next morning, news came that Tao Xing, who was next to the third lady, had made a mistake and was sent off the mountain.
When Xiao Xiwei heard it, he couldn't help but raise a sneer on his lips.
Yesterday, she just casually mentioned Tao Xing in front of Mama Cui, and she was so weak that she sent Tao Xing out so quickly, didn't she know that this desire to cover up Mi Zhang became more and more suspicious!
The old lady has always believed in Buddhism, and it is rare to come to Chao'an Temple for a trip, so he got up early in the morning to freshen up. As soon as she freshened up, the girl came to report that the second lady was here. After a while, I saw Xiao Xiwei wearing a light blue wide-sleeved fairy skirt and leading two girls in.
"Sheaw has seen Grandmother." Xiao Xiwei walked up to the old lady and saluted.
The old lady nodded lightly and waved her hand, "Get up." ”
The Li family has already unknowingly spread her ignorant image to everyone, so it is not surprising that the old lady is indifferent to her.
"Why did the second lady come to greet the old lady so early today?" Mama Liu was afraid that Xiao Xi would be slightly embarrassed, so she was busy smiling and playing a round game.
Xiao Xi lowered her eyes slightly and smiled, "I heard that every time my grandmother comes, she invites Master Hui to give a lecture, and my granddaughter is dull and wants to hear it." ”
The old lady was a little surprised, she turned her face to look at Xiao Xiwei, but saw that her eyes were bright, and she didn't seem to be talking, "It's good that you have this heart, it's just that listening to the scriptures is dull and boring, and you are still young and lively, and you will not be able to sit still." ”
"Grandmother, I remember my father said that it is better for girls to be calm, so Xiwei wants to accompany her grandmother to listen to the scriptures so as to hone her temperament. Please also ask my grandmother to allow it. Xiao Xi said slightly.
The old lady frowned slightly, looked at Xiao Xi for a while, and finally nodded, "Just be patient." ”
When Xiao Xi heard this, she smiled, and hurriedly walked to the old lady to hold her hand.
Chao'an Temple has always been regarded as a national temple by Dayue, and the wisdom of the temple is even more virtuous and respectful, and is often invited by the Queen Mother to lecture in the palace.
"Amitabha."
Seeing the old lady come in, Hui folded her hands and said,
Xiao Xiwei followed the old lady to Hui and saluted with her hands together, and when she raised her head again, she saw Hui's appearance clearly. I only think that she is about fifty years old, although her appearance is ordinary, but there is a faint compassion between her eyebrows.
"The benefactor is here, too." Li Hui raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Xi and smiled slightly.
"The little girl came with her grandmother, and please don't blame the teacher." Xiao Xiwei returned the salute.
Liao Hui smiled, "The donor has a heart." With that, he sat down on the futon, folded his hands and closed his eyes.
"Amitabha." The old lady read a sentence and sat down.
Hui began to speak slowly.
"Donor, you have heard so much from the poor nun, and you don't know what you have to understand?" Hui suddenly looked at Xiao Xi and said.
Xiao Xi raised his head slightly, and his clear eyes looked straight at Hui, "Everything is illusory, but there is only the heart." ”
Li Hui looked at Xiao Xiwei, her eyes full of shock. After a long time, she clasped her hands together and whispered, "Amitabha, the benefactor is wise and has a blue heart, and can realize that the poor are admired here." Everything starts from the heart, and it is born from the heart, everything is illusory, but there is only the heart. ”
"Grandmother must have something to ask the teacher too much, so the little girl won't bother." Xiao Xi smiled slightly, saluted Hui and bent out.
Hui watched her back disappear into the doorway, and finally let out a long sigh.
"Why is Mrs. Shi sighing?" The old lady was a little puzzled.
"Old lady, make your granddaughter extremely smart, but her wisdom will hurt! Amitabha Buddha ......" Hui Chang chanted, and slowly closed his eyes.
Just now, when the girl was saying that she only had her own heart, she clearly felt the suppressed anger in her. I'm afraid that everything is illusory, and the heart is not the original intention.
"Mrs. Shi......" The old lady was a little anxious when she heard this.
"Old lady, my granddaughter is a very filial child, and this morning I enshrined the hand-copied "Diamond Sutra" and "Lotus Sutra" and prayed for you in front of the palace, you should cherish her more. Amitabha. After Hui finished speaking, he twisted the Buddhist beads and chanted the Buddhist scriptures.
The old lady twisted her eyebrows, but still said 'Amitabha' to Hui and retreated.
As soon as the old lady left, Hui twisted the hand of the Buddha bead for a moment, and slowly opened his eyes.
The hidden anger around the girl thought that she had been bullied, and hoped that the old lady's kindness would make her let go of her resentment and turn back.
Xiao Xiwei went directly to the dining room after leaving the hall, and she personally instructed the masters to make a few kinds of fasting meals that the old lady loved to eat, and then returned to her own room to continue copying Buddhist scriptures. However, she knew that no matter how many Buddhist scriptures she wrote, she couldn't wash away the monstrous hatred that she suppressed in her heart.
"Second Miss, Mama Liu is here."
As soon as the Buddhist scriptures were halfway copied, they heard the crisp sound of red rain, and then Mama Liu, who was beside the old lady, walked in wearing a cyan dress.
"The slave has seen the second lady."
"Mama Liu, please get up." Xiao Xiwei got up and personally helped Mama Liu up, "Why did Mama Liu come over?" Is there something that grandmother has to do? ”
"No, it was the old lady who heard that the second lady likes to eat pear blossom cake the most, so she sent some slaves and maids." Mama Liu said as she motioned for the girls to put the pastries on the table.
Xiao Xiwei looked at the delicate pastries on the table and smiled, "Thank you grandmother." ”
Although the pastry is small, what matters is the attitude of the old lady.
This shows that what she has done in the past two days has slightly changed the old lady's attitude towards herself.
"Second Miss, is this copying Buddhist scriptures?" Mama Liu crossed Xiao Xi and fell slightly onto the table behind her.
"Yes." Xiao Xi was a little embarrassed and blocked Mama Liu, "My words are ugly, which makes my mother laugh." “
Mama Liu bent her mouth and smiled, "Although the slave maid is illiterate, she thinks that the second lady's handwriting is excellent just by looking at it." ”
"Mama will make me happy." Xiao Xi hung his head slightly, becoming more and more embarrassed.
Mama Liu smiled, "Then the slave won't bother Miss, and will retire first." ”
Xiao Xi smiled slightly, "Hongyu, send Mama for me." ”
"Yes." Hongyu smiled and blessed her body.
Out of the courtyard where Xiao Xiwei lived, he didn't go far, and suddenly his sister-in-law's voice came from in front of him.
"Guess who I bumped into in the Kaiyuan Hall yesterday?"
"Who?"
"Be the fourth prince of the dynasty!"
"What's so strange about this, the fourth prince came to our temple to pray for Concubine Li's blessing, what's so strange about you bumping into him in Kaiyuan Palace."
"Of course it's not surprising, but I saw another person. And guess who? ”
"Don't sell it, say it quickly!"
"The third lady of the Loyal and Brave Waiting Mansion." The sister-in-law first smiled mysteriously, then leaned into the ear of the other sister-in-law and continued, "You didn't see that the third young lady was pulling the corner of the fourth highness's clothes, her face was full of shame, and that look...... Tsk, I think the third lady has a crush on the fourth prince, but it's a pity ......"
"What a pity?"
"It's a pity that I saw that the face of the fourth prince at that time seemed to be very ugly, I don't think I looked down on her!" The girl pinched her throat bitterly and laughed.
Hongyu's face sank, and he said sharply, "Who is there chewing the root of the tongue, and you won't get out yet." ”
The two sisters-in-law were coldly drunk by the red rain, and their faces turned pale with fright, and they hid in the temple without saying a word.
"Mama Liu, our third lady remembered the life-saving grace of His Royal Highness last time, but I went to say thank you in person, these sisters-in-law spread it so indiscriminately for some reason." Hongyu held Mama Liu's hand and said, she blessed Mama Liu, "Mama, the slave maid also sent the Buddhist scriptures copied by the young lady to the main hall for worship, and the slave maid withdrew first." With that, he turned and walked away.
When Mama Liu returned to the old lady's room, the old lady was leaning on the couch and drinking tea. When he saw her come in, he put the teacup on the table, picked up the string of jade beads on the table again, and said, "It's all gone." ”
"Yes. When the slave went, the second lady was copying Buddhist scriptures in the house. Mama Liu said.
The corners of the old lady's lips pursed, "This girl looks much more stable than before." After that, she raised her eyes and glanced at Mama Liu, "What have you heard along the way?" ”
As soon as Mama Liu heard this, she knew that the old lady already knew about the third lady, and it was not easy to hide it at the moment, so she had to step forward and beat her legs while saying, "It's all sisters-in-law who have nothing to do for a long time, and the old lady doesn't have to take it to heart." ”
Listening to Mama Liu's words, the old lady's eyebrows twisted, and the string of Buddhist beads in her hand tightened unconsciously. After a while, she said to Mama Liu with a calm face, "Chasing the wind and catching shadows must also have wind to catch, and there must be shadows to catch!" I heard that the peach apricots around the three girls were sold? “
"I heard that I stole Miss San's jewelry!"
"Humph! The girls around her are all carefully selected by her, how can she not see things like this! The old lady slammed the string of jade beads in his hand on the table. I'll be back home early tomorrow morning. ”
Seeing that the old lady's face was not good, Mama Liu hurriedly responded, and immediately went out of the room to start taking care of the matters of returning home.
