74, "Hundred Years of Good Cooperation" brocade book is difficult to send (big chapter)
"Poetry:
As I said last time, I secretly went to the Buddhist hall alone while my mother was away.
The hall was very dark and a little too lonely. There's always a strange scent of sandalwood in it, and I often find the smell so strong that it's disgusting.
I first confessed to the ancestral spirit tablet, and then I held back my fear and began to search. Although my mother often took care of the hygiene in the Buddhist hall, I still found a lot of dried corpses of insects, the most common being praying mantises, which had dried as paper skin, which was really disgusting.
But I didn't find anything other than that. Not even the spiritual positions of my father and uncle, who I once thought would be put away.
You know, the most terrifying assumption I made before is that our Bai family ancestors have committed something, and even men may have been arrested and sent to prison or serving sentences, and the rest of this generation have hidden their existence and story in order to survive.
But at the moment, there doesn't seem to be much evidence to support my idea.
It took a long time, just when I thought there would be nothing in the temple, and I discovered something interesting.
You must not believe it, but the back of the spirit card is actually engraved with everyone's birth and death dates, which I almost knocked off when I was rummaging through it, and I found out when I hurriedly put it back. The day my grandmother died was actually the day I was born.
By the way, I seem to remember that you were born in the third year of February?
We have an aunt and grandmother who was also born in the third day of February. That's a coincidence.
But if the other spirit cards are placed higher, I can't reach them, and there is no stool to cushion them, so if I touch them, I have to fall them all.
I'll see it here today, and I'm going to go in under the pretense of cleaning up. Anyway, I'll let you know the results first.
I'll have to find a chance to go to my mother's room in two days. She thought I didn't know, but I did, there was a mezzanine behind the bookshelves in her room, and a small room at the back.
I've seen her take my Bazi out of it, and maybe there's something else interesting in there.
You want to tell the maid about these things, is she tight-lipped? If you can believe it, it doesn't hurt to say it. But if she comes out, I'll be dead, you see.
White Book. ”
This was followed by the third letter.
"Poetry:
You'll never guess how I snuck into my mother's room and into that mezzanine. In order not to teach you badly, I still won't tell you. The most thrilling thing is that after I slipped in, my mother actually came in!
I was at a loss as I listened to my mother's footsteps, but fortunately there was no end to it, and when I stepped on a piece of the floor, a secret door opened behind me, and behind the door was a downward passage, and at the end of the passage was a secret room. There is even a secret room in the mezzanine! I don't dare to write this in any of the novels I've ever read!
I waited anxiously at the door for a while, and my mother seemed to have taken something from inside and went out. I continued to explore downward, and it was dark in the passage, but luckily I always had the Night Pearl with me on my side, so I didn't fall down the stairs.
Then I saw the strangest scene I've seen in fifteen years.
On the altar in that secret room, a Bodhisattva is enshrined.
You must have seen a bodhisattva, right? Whether it's offered at home or painted in a book, the Bodhisattva is different.
How so? It wasn't gold, it was black. Not sandalwood or black jade, but a material I can't tell what it came from, as if it was trying to suck the light in. When I first saw it, I thought it was just a piece of black cloth. When I reached out to tear off the black cloth, I was almost startled and hurriedly knelt down to confess.
But when I looked up, I saw that there was more to it than that.
It doesn't seem to be any bodhisattva I know. You know that my mother loved to read Buddhist scriptures, and even though I don't believe it, I always understand something. But this Buddha statue is obviously the only statue of a god offered under the earth, and it should be the one she believes in the most, but I have never heard her mention it, and I have never seen a record of it anywhere. I thought I couldn't see clearly, and it took me a long time in the dim light to make out the face of the idol.
But I did, never, ever see it.
I don't know if it's because it's so dark, but I stare at it for a long time, and I always feel like it's staring at me. The Chamber of Secrets should not be left for long, and I searched for something that might help. Luckily, the chamber is small and not too difficult to find. There were bookshelves against the wall, and I didn't know which one to take, so I had to flip through them. As luck would have it, in the middle of the shelf at hand, I found a codex. The codex seems to be my mother's words.
I took it out secretly, looked at it for a long time, and what was written in it puzzled me, and I copied a copy for you.
Again, let's burn it after reading it, I'm worried that if my mother finds out, my fate may not be as simple as I thought before.
White Book. ”
Below is an attached manuscript, the font is still in white script, but it is probably written in a mess, and it looks much more scribbled than in the letter.
The manuscript is not long and consists of several fragments. I don't know if it's because the notes only include this content, or if the game has deleted some irrelevant things and left only useful messages for the player.
[I don't think I'll be able to escape from my current state in my life.] Everyone praised this marriage, but it seemed to be different from what I had imagined. 】
[Red dust is bitter, and it is even more bitter for women. 】
Mother is right. Only she won't lie to us, only she won't hurt women. Nothing else, it's not a good thing. 】
[I would like to be her agent on earth, only that I would be blessed and get rid of the sea of suffering as soon as possible.] 】
Here's another fragment.
[We succeeded. She helped us, it was her strength. 】
"I'm free. 】
[It turns out that this is the real reason for the existence of the Bai family. We stood together, we were strong because of hatred, and I understood why Mother taught us that. 】
[You have to see freedom first, and then endure and calm because of reality.] One day, when the oppression is too great to bear, you will draw your sword. 】
The contents of the third fragment are as follows:
[I am weak, but we are strong. 】
[We promise to give everything. Both body and soul, self and posterity. 】
[We don't need to rely on the title given by anyone to exist, we are her. 】
The fourth fragment is even shorter.
[To believe is to believe no more.] 】
We will not die, our spirit will live on here. 】
That's all for the Codex.
This was followed by another letter.
"White poems:
Your reply really makes me wonder, why should I not look into it again? Do you have the same thoughts as your mother? Or did your mother say something to you?
That's a trap! Don't listen!
I read the Codex, but no matter how many times I read it, I could only get the previous answer. Did my mother raise me so much just like a pig or a chicken and treat me as a sacrifice to make something stronger?
My thoughts should not be manipulated. She made me read so many miscellaneous books and have so many thoughts, it turned out that she wanted to one day break my illusions with reality and make me desperate?
What the hell is 'she'? What are we believing in? What are we relying on?
I don't understand.
I can be the same as 'us', but I don't want to passively join 'us'.
That day, I stopped a vegetable seller who came to deliver vegetables and asked him how long he had been doing it, and after interrogation, I knew that it was not my father's surname Bai.
It turns out that the surname Bai is the surname of the mother's mother's family. When she was in the boudoir, she was a white girl. Soon after she got married, she was widowed and returned to her mother's house with all the belongings of my father and I inherited.
It seemed impossible to do this according to the law, and no one could say how she did it. There is only one possibility, the only possibility, on my father's side, the entire clan is gone.
I talked to the man for too long, and my mother found out, and the next day, the person who came to deliver the food had a new face.
It's all here, I have to know the truth.
Not to mention, my mother is calling me over. It's urgent.
Eldest sister. ”
The last letter was very short, and the handwriting was the same as before.
"Ash:
You are right. This is not something we should be thinking about.
I will leave the cabinet on the twenty-seventh of the next month, and marry the salt merchant to fill the house, before you. On the day you leave the cabinet, I won't be able to add makeup. You don't have to come to me.
May we all be blessed by our ancestors and get rid of the sea of women's suffering as soon as possible.
White Book"
This concludes the epistle.
Bai Buzhi looked at Lin Lan in confusion, and the latter also looked puzzled.
If Qian Chen, as the nephew of Qian's sister-in-law and a guest, has investigated the affairs of the Liu family to find out some eyebrows, then Bai Shu's letter is completely unclear.
What the black bodhisattva enshrined by the Bai family is, no one knows. Why the death of an ancestor is the same day as the birthday of a descendant, it is not known. What we are, I don't know.
"To be honest, I don't understand, compared to Qian Chen's booklet, Bai Shu's letter is like something thrown to a newly hired copywriter to practice writing," Bai Buzhi said frankly, "You said that the gram flavor is not enough, and it is not good to say that the hint is not enough." ”
"What is more certain is that the two sisters should have been discovered by their own mothers one after another," Lin Lan said, "Bai Shu changed her words in the letter she received and asked her not to check again, probably Bai Shi's mother asked Bai Shi to do this." And the title of the letter at the end of the white book has changed, probably because her mother asked her to write it. ”
But does that make any sense? There is no information related to whistleblowing, and in the end, isn't it just that after discovering it, I will marry them casually. Bai didn't know how to scratch his head.
"That's not a casual marriage," Lin Lan shook his head, "According to what Qian Chen said, the Liu family had money before, and even if Liu Langjun didn't have fame and didn't make a living, he could still be clothed and fed in the mountains." And the salt merchants, not to mention, the rich families. Both families have one thing in common: they are rich, and they are likely to be unhappy when they marry in. If you are unhappy, you will be resentful, and it is in this situation that the father of the white book died, and even the family property was taken away. ”
Bai Buzhi's eyes lit up.
To say that this is indeed what girls are good at, he really doesn't know how to analyze this kind of twisted power and money transactions, and it also involves the grievances and hatreds of the big family, and he always feels like he is watching some 70 episodes of classic palace fighting dramas.
But he probably understood what it meant.
"That is to say, high-end hunters always appear as prey."
"That's right," Lin Lan bowed, "The sisters don't agree, it doesn't matter what they think, they are going out to collect money...... and murderers. An unhappy marriage? It is to make their marriages unhappy. If you are happy, how can you need something else to save you, and how can you give everything for the protection of something else? ”
The girl showed a sneer: "Only when there is misfortune and emptiness, will you be taken advantage of." ”
Bai Buzhi stretched out his hand and applauded a few times, and praised sincerely: "Beautiful psychological analysis." ”
This level of thinking is not possible for him.
He had also read his eldest brother's diary in the previous copy, but that thing was almost straightforward, and he didn't need any background knowledge to understand. His speculation about the psychology of his eldest brother is just a brainless application of the "Asassi" culture in Japanese works after too much contact.
In this regard, the knowledge of the two is obviously different, and Lin Lan provides another way of thinking from a female perspective.
"Don't worry about that, the point now is that the Bai family needs you to harm Master Liu to seek money from his family, but the surname Liu must not be an easy person, what should you do?" Lin Lan said anxiously with a frown.
At the moment when these words came out, the sedan chair ...... fell to the ground.
"Miss Bai, the willow house has arrived."
