Chapter Twenty-Nine: Wash Your Body and Start Again and Again
After Xu Muqiu learned about the new ability of the Daqian Merit Mirror, without thinking, he extracted the two hundred good deeds he had used, and turned around and went to Shouqing Hall.
When they arrived at Shouqing Hall, their grandmother Zhang, seeing that Xu Muqiu had left not long ago, turned back and asked.
"Good grandson, but did you forget to tell your grandmother?"
Xu Muqiu pondered for a while, thought about his words, and said to the Zhang family and the Jin family: "The child just has an important matter, and he forgot about it. I just remembered, and hurried to talk to my grandmother and mother. ”
Jin hurriedly asked, "Qiu'er, but you changed your mind again?" It's okay not to go, it's the same at home. ”
Jin also thought that her children didn't want to go to Jiangnan, which was not what she wanted. Although his father Xu De sent letters several times and wanted Xu Muqiu to visit him in Yangzhou, after all, Xu De had not seen his relatives and children for ten years, and he was very worried about it.
But Kim always thinks that her husband has been gone for three years, and he is a person with no conscience. I just didn't want to take advantage of his mind, so I asked.
Where would Xu Muqiu know what the Jin family thought, seeing that his mother had misunderstood, he explained: "Mother thinks wrongly, how can the child do things that change the order of the day." Some time ago, I was so busy that I forgot to tell me a great good thing, and I really deserved to be punished. ”
Hearing this, the Zhang family and the Jin family were quite curious. I don't know what Xu Muqiu is referring to when he talks about great things, so I asked him.
Xu Muqiu said: "Children have learned the Tao since they were young, and they also told their grandmother and mother that this law prevents children from getting sick. Today, if you use this technique on your grandmother and mother, you can expect to eliminate all kinds of diseases and prolong your life. ”
Although Zhang thinks that his good grandson will not talk nonsense, this kind of strange thing is usually only vaguely heard in rumors, but now that it happened to his family, he became unbelievable.
In fact, Taoist magic is just Xu Muqiu's excuse, but my grandmother is very old, and it is inevitable that there will be some pains on her body; Besides, he is an old man, and his mother is nine out of fifty this year. Xu Muqiu wanted to use the good deeds extracted from himself on the second elder, so that he could make the best use of it.
He used this good deed to waste, once to test the effect of good deed, but to make his already healthy body stronger; Once it is used for wisdom, it is just to take some tricks when reading poetry and books, although it has won the head of the country, it is just a false name.
It didn't make sense to think about it now, and he was determined to improve himself. In terms of health, his ten-year penance cultivation of the Taoist Dharma has the meaning of maintaining health and prolonging life, and he thinks that he will be safe in the next few decades; In terms of fame, he is ready to take it for himself, although the wisdom bestowed by good deeds has been extracted, but it does not prevent him from learning from scratch.
I wanted to do good deeds elsewhere and prolong the life of my family. Now that you have a surplus, why not put it to good use?
Xu Muqiu saw the doubts of his grandmother and mother at this time. It is also said that I have only heard of the Taoist family exercises to maintain health and prolong life, but I have never heard of it, and this effect can also be used on others. But he couldn't talk to anyone about the Mirror of Merit. Without further ado, he came to the two of them and performed it.
At about a moment, Xu Muqiu put away the magic trick, silently recited "use good deeds" in his heart, then turned around and stood still, observing the two of them.
Leaning slightly, Zhang and Jin felt some changes in themselves. Although the two of them are well maintained on weekdays, after all, they are not young, and there are always some minor illnesses in their bodies, and from time to time, they will have attacks. Now that the effect of this spell was immediate, the two of them suddenly felt that their bodies were in tune, and a sense of relief came to their hearts, which they had not felt for many years.
"Good grandson, your family magic is really magical, and grandmother feels that this body seems to be a lot lighter. Your master is really a fairy-like person, and he actually passed on such skills to you. It's really the blessing of our ancestors. ”
"Son, do you see if your mother is much younger?"
Women love beauty regardless of age, but the younger they are, the more they pay more attention. This Zhang opened his mouth to talk about the changes in his body, but the first thing that Jin thought of was whether he had become younger.
Xu Muqiu said with a smile: "Grandmother, my master is a master, and it is not uncommon for me to pass on such a method, so you can use it with peace of mind when you are old." He said to Jin: "Mother is right, this time I am afraid that I am more than ten years younger." ”
When Jin heard this, he knew that Xu Muqiu was coaxing her, but he still couldn't suppress his joy, and said with a smile on his face.
"You monkey, you will coax your mother, how can you be more than ten years younger."
"If you want me to see, if you are five or six years younger, you will already be in the sky. You're so clever with a mouth, it's much better than your bastard father. ”
Xu Muqiu couldn't help but want to laugh when he heard this, but when he thought that his mother was still in front of him, he could only hold it back, making his face red. I thought to myself, my mother was not only duplicitous, but also lost his father who was far away in Yangzhou, which was really a disaster.
Because of this happy event, the mother and son laughed again in Shouqingtang.
Xu Muqiu saw that this matter had been done, and his heart was also a lot lighter, so he said goodbye to his grandmother and mother, saying that he had something to do when he left the house. The Zhang family and the Jin family knew that their children were going to travel far away, and there must be some foreign affairs that were not cleared, so they no longer kept him.
Xu Muqiu took the little maid all the way to Jiafu, and he came to Daiyu to apologize.
Since he had an awkward quarrel with Daiyu and left Jiafu, Xu Muqiu has been restless. But when I went out, I met Lai Da seeking an official, and by chance, I got Qingwen again, but I was really busy with everything and turmoil all day long.
It wasn't until Xu Muqiu finished meditating in Runqiu Garden and solved the matter of his grandmother and mother's treatment and longevity that he had no time to spare.
With this free, Xu Muqiu rushed to Jiafu non-stop. Now that he has figured out his mistakes, he really shouldn't be angry with Daiyu like that.
Xu Muqiu likes Daiyu, maybe because of the acquaintance and acquaintance in this life, or the shadow of the woman who buried the flowers in the Red Mansion in the previous life.
In short, in this life, if she finally has someone to accompany her, Xu Muqiu hopes that person will be herself.
Hearing Daiyu's poetry today, Xu Muqiu heard his feelings in that poem, and he was ecstatic when he heard it for the first time, he felt that Daiyu's love was in him, and it should have been a story of mutual affection.
But the story unfolded like this, but Xu Muqiu's heart thought about it carefully. He remembered the wood and stone alliance in the Red Mansion, the love of Eryu, and the song "Funeral Flower Yin".
Suddenly, Xu Muqiu became unconfident. He is an outsider, and he even has to recognize his relatives when he goes in and out of Jiafu, how can he be worthy of the love of childhood sweethearts and getting along day and night.
Thinking like this, Xu Muqiu inexplicably said the hurtful words, "Don't tie that love thread to the wrong person." This is indeed hurting that Daiyu's heart.
This is his fault, it is Xu Muqiu's own lack of self-confidence that makes him lose ground. Say what "the wrong person" is, just tell Daiyu what she thinks about her, regardless of whether it succeeds or not. This operation can be described as extremely stupid and hopeless.
When Xu Muqiu came back to his senses now, he secretly scolded himself half to death in his heart. Although it is hopeless, he still has to save it, how can he think of so much?
If you don't do it today, I'm afraid you will be estranged from Daiyu. Now this thing is just done, and if it doesn't work, it will be done. As the so-called sincerity goes, the gold and stone are open, which is the truth.
If there is a gap between him and Daiyu, and let the big-headed treasure take this opportunity to take advantage of the loophole and pry the corner, it will really be regarded as self-inflicted consequences, and then he will definitely regret it too late.
Xu Muqiu hurriedly walked into Jia's mansion, and Jia's mother saw him go and return, and she was puzzled and asked.
"Brother Qiu, didn't you just leave, why did you come back again? If you really can't let go of me, an old woman? ”
Xu Muqiu's mind was on Daiyu at this time, where could he still joke. forced out a smile and responded to Mother Jia.
"The old lady doesn't want to make this joke, I'll go and do the opposite, but I have something to explain to the old lady. This matter is related to Sister Lin, please listen to me in detail. ”
Xu Muqiu came to find Daiyu, but when he came to this Jia Mansion, he must worship Jia's mother first. I wanted to visit him, so I went to Daiyu to share my thoughts.
But as soon as he saw Jia's mother, he thought of a past incident, which was related to Daiyu. This matter must be agreed by Jia's mother before it can be completed. So Xu Muqiu opened his mouth and mentioned it.
As soon as Mother Jia heard that Xu Muqiu had something to say, and it was related to her other jade, she said: "You monkey, you can just speak up if you have something, you don't need to ask for it." ”
"The old lady is really a cool person, I talk a lot of nonsense, and this matter has to start with the treatment of Baoyu.
"That day, my sister saw that the Taoist exercises I used were wondering, so she invited me to go and have a chat. In the words, it was said that her father Lin Gong had been ill for a long time, and hoped that I could save him. At that time, I had agreed to her, but Yangzhou was far away, and I didn't know when I wanted to go? ”
"Now it's time for the meeting, and if I have more than a month, I will go to the south of the Yangtze River to study, and I will go to Yangzhou to visit my father by the way."
"I see that my sister is still young and has been away from home for nearly two years. In this way, I want to ask, I don't know, I don't know if I took my sister with me on this trip to visit her father Lin Gong, and relieve my sister of the pain of missing her relatives. ”
After hearing this, Jia Mu frowned slightly, her face was thoughtful, and she didn't know what she was thinking?
After a long time, Mother Jia came back to her senses, her expression was also a little soothing, she looked at Xu Muqiu twice, and said leisurely: "Brother Qiu, I really have a heart, I can think about your sister like this." After a pause, he continued.
"Yu'er, after being away from home for a long time, there is only one father left in the family, and worries are inevitable. The word filial piety, no one is exempt from vulgarity, and there is nothing wrong with this. ”
"It's just that the two of you are walking together, it's too much trouble for you. It just so happened that a few days ago, I also wanted to send Lian'er to Jinling to put down the matter of sacrificing fields in the clan. ”
"Let him go with you, and let you second brother Lian handle some chores for the two of you, anyway, he is also good at this, I can't wait to be happy."
When Xu Muqiu heard Jia's mother's promise, he was immediately pleasantly surprised, and thought that he would have to spend some words. Where can it be managed, two people together, or three people together? He didn't mean this, he just annoyed Daiyu before, and wanted Yucheng to do this to make her happy.
In the Red Mansion, Daiyu's thoughts and thoughts are needless to say. Xu Muqiu thought that if Daiyu learned that she was going home at this time to visit her father, she didn't know how happy she would be. The sorrow that seems to grow between the eyebrows will also be gone.
Mother Jia saw Xu Muqiu standing in front of her, smirking with a smirk, not knowing what beautiful things she was thinking, she was inexplicable in her heart, and shouted out loud.
"Brother Qiu, come back to your senses. I don't know what you're smirking at? ”
When Xu Muqiu heard the movement, he came back to his senses, his face was embarrassed, and he hurriedly said goodbye to Jia's mother, and wanted to go to Daiyu to tell him about the matter, and apologize for his reckless behavior before.
Mother Jia didn't stop him, at her age, what kind of wind and waves have she never seen? This kind of childlike matter can be explored even more, otherwise why would she arrange for Jia Lian to go to Jiangnan together?
What Matsurida? It's just a pretext. Now Daiyu is still young and can be affectionate, but she must stop at courtesy.
Mother Jia is also a person from the past, and she has also read the words of the talented and beautiful woman, young people, there will always be some times when they will get carried away. Jia Lian is only used for supervision, and it is better to prevent problems before they occur.
Xu Muqiu came out of Jia's mother, trotted all the way, and then arrived at Daiyu's residence, he stopped at the gate of the courtyard and shouted loudly inside.
"Sister, I'm coming back to see you again, don't be angry, okay? Blame my brother for being stupid and stupid, saying the wrong thing, annoying you, I admit my mistake. If you want to be punished today, it's all up to you, and there is no other word. ”
Daiyu was still gloomy at this time, and her eyes were weeping.
Xu Muqiu didn't know that since he left, Daiyu became more and more angry the more she thought about it, and the more angry she became, the more angry she became, and she got like this. Daiyu is a lonely character, if it weren't for that, how could she use begonias as a metaphor in the poem.
Thinking of her begonia, when her love first opened, she was mistaken by this favorite person for liking someone else, how could Daiyu not be hurt? This sad soul is a day. Daiyu complained to Xu Muqiu, a stupid and negative person, in her heart.
The meaning of Xu Muqiu's words, Daiyu, who is as wise as an immortal, how could she not know?
Xu Muqiu is also interested in her, but she eats the vinegar of others. Thinking about it carefully, Daiyu felt inexplicable in her heart, she didn't know who this person was. But since the words have been spoken, it shows that Xu Muqiu is suspicious of her.
How can a lonely begonia flower endure such suspicion? Daiyu made up her mind in her heart that she would never forgive Xu Muqiu, a stupid person, and from now on, she would never pay attention to him again.
Daiyu was sad while thinking, and at this moment, she suddenly heard Xu Muqiu's shout outside her courtyard. The sound was deafening to her in the room. As soon as he heard the content of Xu Muqiu's words, he secretly sighed in his heart: "Shameless fool", and hurriedly ran out of the boudoir. It's not that she's not angry, but she's afraid that the voice will be too loud and be heard by others, causing her to lose face together.
Daiyu ran in front of Xu Muqiu, only to see her, her brows were furrowed, tears were hanging on her face, and she spoke with anger.
"You're so shameless, didn't you just leave on your own? Who invited you here now? If you come uninvited, you won't be a guest, and you won't leave my small courtyard soon. ”
When Xu Muqiu heard this, his face turned bitter, and he secretly said that it was not good, and when he saw Daiyu's expression at this time, he blamed himself even more, and hurriedly spoke.
"Sister, I know my brother is wrong. Don't rush me first, I have good news for you. ”
