Chapter 8: The Everlasting Lantern (1)
After seeing the old lady's good show of throwing things, Li still wanted to sincerely copy a Buddhist scripture.
She said to the feast bell, "I have to copy it, otherwise I am afraid that the Buddha will blame me." ”
He also rejoiced when he copied the scriptures. What she is most pleased with this time is that the children are united, and everyone is sincerely good for her. Especially Shuo'er. Thinking of this, she couldn't help crying again.
"Your uncle and your second cousin are extremely intelligent, and they can remember a line of words in an instant, but Shuo'er is not. He was ordinary, and when he was a child, he didn't study hard in spring and summer as much as your second cousin for so many days, so when everyone saw him, they always said: How is your father, how is your brother, why are you like this? Day by day, he became more and more reticent. ”
"Now that I think about it, I really hate myself to death, and I didn't know how to comfort him at the beginning, and I sent him to Akiyama Academy to study according to your uncle's wishes. I should have stayed with him. ”
"Send it to study hard, ten years of cold window, even if you get ahead in the future, what can you do? I just want him to be healthy and healthy, not the lifeless days he used to spend staring at books. ”
She wiped her tears and said with a smile: "You don't know, he has been afraid of your uncle and your second cousin since he was a child, and this time I was guilty, but he was willing to take the initiative to find them, I am really happy." ”
Feast Bell comforted her, "Although I have just arrived, I don't see that my third cousin is not a taciturn stupid person, he should just be introverted and focused on reading. ”
In front of the Li family, Kwa Ningshuo was like pouring honey into her heart, so she nodded again and again, "He loves to laugh, and he can make wooden wedges, and he has the ability to do things." Hey, it's just that his father and brother are too powerful, even the fourth, and they are also extremely smart in reading, and he himself feels that he can't compare to the old, big, small, and he is more and more strict with himself, and he doesn't stop reading until late at night, so it's useless for me to persuade him. But this time, I saw that he was more relaxed and treated himself a little better. ”
I also went to the small garden for a walk, and I knew how to deal with that old lady for her!
Li cried and said, "I finally got out." ”
The feast bell also sounded a little sad. looked like the housewife in a high-ranking family, majestic, but she still didn't have a good time.
In just two days, the Buddhist scriptures were copied. Ning Guogong copied a copy, Li Shi copied a copy, and the old lady was also sick for two days.
On the third day, the morning and dusk provinces were restored. Please finish, she also left the feast bell alone to speak.
She was still smiling kindly, with folds piled up at the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile: "I'm sick, I haven't talked to you carefully, how are you doing these days?" ”
Feast Bell nodded, "Okay, thank you, old lady." ”
I don't say much else. The old lady asked again, "I heard your aunt say that your husband's family is the fifth son of Yu Hanlin's family?" I have also seen that child, he is very good-looking, and he is also very intelligent, although he is a concubine, he is also valued by Hanlin, and you will be blessed in the future. ”
The feast bell made a gesture of embarrassment, bowed his head slightly, and smiled shyly.
Don't talk anyway.
The old lady was not in a hurry, but said slowly: "Your aunt is good for you, that's why she said such a good husband for you, you must be filial to her in the future." ”
Feast Bell nodded slightly, "Yes." ”
The old lady looked at her face and suddenly laughed, "You look very good, there are not many people in Kyoto who can compare to you, I see, only the little maid of the Mo family can compare to you." The little maid of the Mo family is also smart...... Speaking of which, you and the girl from the Mo family are also the same age, and they both have a good marriage. ”
This is intermittent, not true, as if it was said to her, as if she was talking to herself, and then she refused to continue, only smiled and said: "Good boy, go, go and play with the five girls, I heard that you have a good time, this is a good thing, there are not many heirs in the Ningguo Mansion, she is only a girl, she doesn't like to go out to socialize, and she is very lonely." ”
The feast bell got up and took his leave. When she went out, she saw the fifth girl waiting for her under the porch, and when she came out, she quickly pulled her away, and then asked in a low voice, "What did grandmother say?" ”
The feast bell is very good at grasping the key points, throwing away all the miscellaneous words, and said, "She said that Young Master Yu...... also talked about the girl of the Mo family. ”
The fifth girl twisted her eyebrows, "Mo family? What is the Mo family? ”
Feast Ling shook his head, "Say I'm good-looking, the girls of the Mo family are better looking than me." ”
Fifth girl: "It's true that you are good-looking, but the girl of the Mo family who is better looking than you ......"
She doesn't know. She is at home all the year round, and when she goes out as a guest, she has never met any good-looking Mo family girls.
She whispered, "What is Xu's idea, do you want to tell your mother?" ”
The feast bell hesitated, "How many days later?" My aunt is saying that she wants to take her third cousin to Daxiong Baodian Temple to worship Buddhist scriptures. ”
is in such a good mood, and it is not worth it to spoil her joy for this matter.
The fifth girl also thinks so. Then teased her, "Mother said when she will take you to see Fifth Young Master Yu?" ”
The feast bell blushed on his face, and he went over like a thief, "It is said that it will be seven days later, and it will be in the Daxiong Treasure Hall Temple at that time." ”
The fifth girl laughed, "Yo, let's go to incense together-to the old moon?" ”
The feast bell was embarrassed and laughed along. But before that, she had one more thing to entrust to her aunt.
She went to find her aunt and asked, "Tomorrow my aunt will go to the temple, maybe she will do me a favor?" ”
People are in good spirits on happy occasions, she smiled and nodded, "What's busy?" ”
Feast bell said in a low voice: "I have a gentleman, very good, very good, but unfortunately he is not in good health, he has been sick all the year round, and he passed away in March this year." ”
"I held a funeral for my husband and was urged by my father and aunt to come to Kyoto, and before I could go to the temple to light an everlasting lamp for him, I wanted to light one for him in Kyoto."
Li Shi took her hand and said, "This is your kindness, it's good, how can I not help?" ”
"I'll go tomorrow, so I'll go and ask the abbot to ask him to light the lantern for your husband himself."
The feast bell rejoiced, "Thank you, aunt." ”
Li Shi smiled, "Silly girl, what is this worth thanking." Then he said: "Then you can write me the birthday of Mr., and I will let the abbot burn it in the everlasting lamp." ”
The feast bell was stunned, and Li shook her hand, "What's wrong?" ”
Feast Bell lowered her head, "Auntie, I don't know. ”
When the gentleman came, he was alone. Later, he only said that his surname was Jing. As for what his name was, what day he was born, and what had happened before, he didn't say it, and she didn't dare to ask, so she didn't know it.
Li also wondered, "How can this be." ”
But he was also relieved, "It doesn't matter, it's just a thought, just be sincere." ”
But the feast bell was still sad all night, and in the dream she dreamed that her husband looked at her and laughed, and teased: "You love to cry too much, what can I do?" I can't make you laugh anymore. ”
