Chapter 6 The Role of Money Bags
"White jade is like a bone and a non-object, and truth and falsehood depend on each other. The front edge of the past life is not visible, and the blood is full of white bones. ”
The emperor slowly recited these words like the Last Judgment in a deep voice, and gently echoed in this empty room, like a powerful spell, and a tragic and desolate meaning slowly condensed.
When the last word of the prophecy was pronounced by Emperor Zijin, a stream of blood suddenly filled the entire room, and the jade-like Buddha bone in Emperor Zijin's hand shone slightly, emitting a faint golden light, as if echoing this tragic song of annihilation.
Emperor Zijin and Ren Kill both stared at the white jade bone block with a faint golden halo, and a terrifying and strange feeling arose
"Report!"
There was a loud shout from outside the door, interrupting the atmosphere in the room, the blood and qi were dissipated, and the Buddha's bones became crystal clear again.
The emperor took the Buddha's bones into his arms and said coldly: "Come in!"
A Praetorian Guard pushed the door open and walked in, and the person who came was the same guard who had gone to the 'Rourou Bean Fang' to report the news.
"Report to the imperial chief, someone from 'Rourou Bean Fang' is here, and I ask to pick up Qin Xun!"
"Who's coming?"
"Miss Mengrou, the proprietress of Doufang!"
Emperor Zijin looked at the guard coldly and asked, "Is this a beautiful woman?"
The guard's face was hot, his dark skin turned slightly purple, and he said with some trepidation: "Back to the imperial head, the person who came was a beautiful and abnormal woman, and her subordinates were incompetent, so they didn't stop her."
"Enough!"
Emperor Zijin snorted lightly, paused and said, "You go and take that woman directly to the study, Qin Xun is there!"
"Yes!" the guard turned and walked out quickly.
"Imperial Chief, do you really want to let Qin Xun go, if things are really what we guessed, let him go, the risk is too great!" said Ren Kill with some unease.
Emperor Zijin bowed his head lightly and said: "Before the matter is completely investigated, we must not draw conclusions, and we are just guessing, and we do not know the true meaning of the prophecy, we can only confirm that the white jade bone is a Buddha bone, and now the Buddha bone is in our hands, but we can't confirm its authenticity, if there are really two Buddha bones, then we can only wait for another Buddha bone to appear, in order to solve the mystery." ”
Speaking of this, Emperor Zijin turned around and faced the window, from where he seemed to be able to see Qin Xun being supported by a beautiful woman walking towards the outside of Chaotian Palace, he continued: "If you want another Buddha bone to appear, you have to rely on this person who has no past!"
To be able to enter the Forbidden Guard, they are all extremely smart people, and human killing is no exception, he understood Emperor Zijin's thoughts, it was to rely on Qin Xun to lure out the masked woman and the fat monk, and it was even possible to lead out the person holding another Buddha bone to appear, he immediately said: "That subordinate will go down and arrange for people to monitor the 'Rourou Bean Fang'." ”
"No!" the emperor said awe-inspiringly.
The killer looked at Emperor Zijin suspiciously, not knowing what he meant.
"The woman in 'Rourou Beanfang' is not easy to mess with, she is not just a beautiful proprietress who looks a little beautiful"
Speaking of this, Emperor Zijin suddenly closed his mouth and did not say any more.
Chaotian Palace, at the gate.
Meng Rou was helping Qin Xun to walk out slowly, and suddenly stood still, she looked into the majestic palace gate, her eyes seemed to pass through the hazy light, through many obstacles, and shot directly at the house where the emperor was now.
"Little aunt, let's go home quickly!" Qin Xun urged, he didn't want to stay here for a moment.
Mengrou retracted her gaze, looked at Qin Xun hatefully, and said with some hatred: "I'm in a hurry to go home now, my aunt and grandmother waited at home for a night, and I didn't see you go back, I didn't expect to come here to spread the wilderness, see how I will clean you up when I go back." ”
Meng Rou said with her mouth, but her hands helped Qin Xun more comfortably.
"Miss Mengrou, I can remind you, now that I am seriously injured, you can't care about my injuries first, always think about cleaning me up, this is not a good match for your peerless appearance, let's keep the account first, and wait until I am injured." ”
Mengrou glanced at Qin Xun delicately, the delicate style instantly lit up the night, she pouted and said: "Your body is from the inside out, my aunt and grandmother don't know anything, this injury will be alive again at noon tomorrow at the latest, I want to earn my aunt's sympathy, and I will talk about it when I finish drawing." ”
Qin Xun's shaved face was a little hot, and he didn't know whether he was surprised by the dryness or the little aunt's amorous style! A man with a psychological age of more than forty years old was reprimanded so bluntly by an extremely beautiful woman, and he was very shameless. This topic must not continue to be discussed, otherwise all the embarrassing things in the past ten years will have to be taken out by the little aunt to dry, although the sun has not risen yet, but Mengrou will not mind. He resolutely retreated.
"Little aunt, I didn't expect you to remember what I said casually so clearly, and when you saw the money bag, you came to pick me up so soon. Qin Xun smiled, his voice was a little happy and silly, such an uncompetitive performance, Qin Xun himself felt ashamed, and reflected in his heart whether he was more and more useless.
Another delicate white eye was thrown out, Mengrou held Qin Xun with one hand, let most of the strength of Qin Xun's body lean on herself, and with the other hand, she took out Qin Xun's purple money bag from her arms, stuffed it into Qin Xun's left hand angrily, and said: "You will do this boring trick, Chaotian Palace is also a place where you can come, I really don't let my aunt worry!" After speaking, she glanced at Qin Xun with disgust, I don't know what interesting things I thought, and the corners of her mouth hooked a slight smile.
Qin Xun felt the softness of Mengrou's body, his heart was warm, he held the money bag in his left hand, and with his right hand, a Tang coin appeared in the palm of his hand, he carefully put the Tang coin in the money bag, and then put the money bag into his arms, after doing all this, he smiled lightly. I can't help but think of the past.
It was the last day of Fengshen 2007, and it was snowing heavily, and ten-year-old Qin Xun was ruthlessly squeezed as a child laborer by his aunt, and officially became the only lobby manager and shop junior of 'Rourou Bean Fang'. When the year came, Qin Xun finally looked forward to the first salary in a year and the only salary in a few years - thirty-two copper plates, plus a purple money bag embroidered with a picture of the little aunt's whip, Qin Xun wanted to protest, but looked at the hideous rattan on the money bag, he endured it, pinched the money bag with both hands, and his immature little face was full of pathos.
"If one day, there is one less copper plate in this money bag, little aunt, you must go to me, otherwise you will never see me again, because I have died sadly!"
The little aunt waved the rattan decisively
The past is so warm, thinking of it at the dawn of early autumn, the purple-black rattan looks very cute.
Looking at his face close at hand in the darkness, Qin Xun's heart was surprisingly calm, he only hoped that this road would go on like this forever, even if there was no sunshine, what did it matter
The sky is getting brighter, there are already sparse pedestrians on Chang'an Street, the autumn wind blows overnight, the ground is sprinkled with dead leaves, and pedestrians walk by, making a creaking and crunching sound.
An old man dressed in a gray robe and linen clothes, waving a small bamboo broom, slowly moved along Chang'an Avenue.
Qin Xun and Mengrou walked for nearly an hour before returning to Doufang, and when they passed the old man, Qin Xun habitually walked around, and at the same time nodded lightly to the old man, the old man's wrinkled face suddenly smiled like a flower, but his mouth was always tightly pursed.
In Qin Xun's eighteen years of memory, the street in front of the bean fang can be seen almost every day on the old man's figure, eighteen years of rain or shine, for such a dedicated old man, Qin Xun never stingy with his respect, occasionally take some bean curd and fritters to beckon the old man to enjoy in the bean fang, and every time at this time, the little aunt's face will be as cold as ten thousand years of ice.
This time was no exception, she walked in front of the old man with Qin Xun in her arms and expressionlessly.
There were already many people in front of the bean shop, all of them were neighbors waiting to buy breakfast, and when they saw that the gate of the bean shop was closed, most of them were whispering under the two willow trees in front of the door.
"This 'Rourou Bean Fang' has never stopped business for more than ten years, why is it still not open today?"
"I heard that Brother Qin, the second child of Doufang, was taken away by the Forbidden Guards last night, I don't know what happened?"
"Hey, it's not a good fate, the two martial artists who were fighting on Shenxian Lake last night hit Brother Qin when they escaped, and I heard that there was only one breath left when I was rescued by the forbidden guards, miserable!" The person who spoke let out an extremely sympathetic sigh.
"No, no, no, I heard that he was dead, and even the Suzaku Imperial Head of the Forbidden Guards couldn't save him, and he was taken away later."
"Isn't that little lady Mengrou going to cry sadly!" This sentence was immediately echoed by most people.
"yes, yes"
"Hey, I can't bear to see the little lady sad"
"Hey, I just got up early this morning, to see if I can do some meager things, comfort and comfort the little lady, I don't want to be a person to go to the empty building!"
A laugh rang out at once,
"You're not afraid that the rattan of the little lady Mengrou will open the skin of your smoke, hahaha"
"Mengrou little lady can't kill you hahaha"
"Oops, the little lady Mengrou is back!"
I don't know which neighbor finally saw Meng Rou and Qin Xun, and screamed in surprise, and the discussion immediately turned into a concerned greeting, but the target was Meng Rou.
Qin Xun felt the enthusiasm of the neighbors, and his heart was very hurt, I am the wounded, okay, in the future, the bean curd will be mixed with water!
Meng Rou greeted the neighbors with a smile, slowly walked to the door of Doufang with Qin Xun in her arms, turned around and said apologetically: "Neighbors, I'm really sorry today, the guys in the store are injured, and they really can't do business, let's come back tomorrow, tomorrow's Douhua is free!"
There was a burst of cheers all around.
And at this moment, everyone seemed to have finally discovered the shopkeeper who was supported by the little lady Mengrou, and said with care: "Brother Qin'er is recuperating from his injuries, and if he recovers from his injuries, he doesn't need to be supported by the little lady Mengrou." ”
The person who spoke was affectionate, and there was a feeling that hatred could not be replaced.
Qin Xun raised his head and glared, and saw a very familiar face, it turned out to be Wang Xiaoer next door, and he suddenly felt that his injury was even worse!
Mengrou opened the door of the store, helped Qin Xun and walked in, reincarnated to the outside with an apologetic smile, and closed the door, leaving a sigh of regret.
The cold day light spreads into the bean mill through the window, the environment inside is clearly illuminated, six or seven old tables are placed in the hall, the desktop is wiped clean, each desktop is placed with a bamboo tube with chopsticks, three or four pairs of bamboo chopsticks lie in the bamboo tube, there are several jars on the counter, and the names of some pickles are written on the belly of the altar with square red paper.
Behind the counter is a small door with a purple curtain embroidered with a few lotus flowers hanging from the small door, which leads to the inner courtyard.
Mengrou helped Qin Xun across the counter, lifted the curtain and walked towards the inner courtyard.
There is a crooked neck jujube tree planted in the inner courtyard, just in autumn, the tree is full of red dandandan's jujubes, looking gratifying, there is a fat monk standing under the tree, grabbing a handful of jujubes in each hand, eating with relish.
Seeing Meng Rou and Qin Xun coming in, he hurriedly stuffed the jujube in his hand into the wide monk's robe, wiped his mouth with his hand, and saluted with his hands: "The two donors are polite, the old man has been waiting for a long time!"
Qin Xun saw the great monk, his face was slightly stunned, and his heart tightened, he didn't expect things to come so quickly!
The cold light in Mengrou's eyes flashed, and before Qin Xun could speak, she shouted violently: "Great monk, it's not this method of transformation, it's all over the wall and into the room, you are from that temple, so you don't know the etiquette!"
The fat monk had a square face and wide ears, looked kind and kind-eyed, and was not annoyed when he listened to Mengrou's words, he made a Buddhist ceremony and smiled slightly: "Female donor, the reason why the old man is like this is also a last resort, but he came here to turn his fate, but the old man is not fasting, but a human bone!"
