Chapter 29: Believing in Her Wickedness
Here, Zhou Bi didn't know anything about Mrs. Zhou's plans, and if he knew about it, he wouldn't faint.
Zhou Bi was anxious to see people, and the soles of his feet were windy, and he soon arrived at Fulu Hall.
It was windy and rainy outside, but the old lady's laughter in the room was much louder than the wind and rain.
How happy does this have to be for the old lady to be happy like this?
Zhou Bi was curious about the secret of the little girl's pleasing old lady.
Now the opportunity is rare, so I simply stood under the eaves and pricked up my ears to eavesdrop.
Let's see what tricks the little girl played in front of the old lady.
The old lady's voice came from inside the house, "It's hard for you, a child, to still miss me, an old woman." How did you get this Bodhitta Sutra from an old monk? This is his treasure, and it is easy not to let people look at it again. ”
The old lady believes in Buddhism, as long as it is a Buddhist scripture that she has never seen, she wants to see it, and the old lady has been coveting this "Bodha Sutra" for a long time.
Listening to the meaning of the old lady's mouth, Li Yan, this girl, is fast, and she really went to the Great Compassion Temple.
Could it be that he wronged her?
The girl's silver bell-like laughter mixed with the sound of wind and rain drifted into Zhou Bi's ears, "The baby naturally wants the baby to change, Yan'er just does what she likes, and donated some incense money to the temple, which is still good for silver in the final analysis." ”
"Your little bit of silver must not be able to enter the eyes of the abbot. Let's say, this time I took He Baobao and exchanged it with the old monk? The old lady's tone was obviously unbelieving.
"Hee-hee, I won't tell you."
The girl mischievously coquettishly said, "If I tell the old lady, the next time the old lady takes the treasure to exchange with the old monk, then I won't be useless in front of the old lady, so I won't do it." ”
The flattering and playful words made the old lady laugh.
It turned out that Li Yan deceived the old lady like this, and he believed in her evil.
Zhou Bi coughed and lifted the bamboo curtain.
The old lady was chatting with the little girl, and when she saw her son come in, the smile on her face faded a little, and she glanced at him and looked away.
Zhou Bi mentioned it in his heart, bowed his head and greeted the old lady, "Mother." ”
The old lady sighed softly, "Sit down." ”
Li Yan got up and saluted with a smile, "The people's daughter has seen the county magistrate. ”
Zhou Bi glanced at her and snorted lightly.
Zhou Bilai was in a hurry, and he didn't have an oil umbrella, and his body was a little wet in the rain.
The little girl who was waiting on the side handed over a soft towel, he wiped it a few times casually, and then sat down.
Zhou Bi was cold to her, and Li Yan didn't care.
After saluting him, he sat beside the old lady in a proper manner, and continued to chat with the old lady.
The old man and the young laughed constantly, and Zhou Bi, who was sitting in the room, seemed to have been forgotten by the two.
Zhou Bi sat on the cold bench, looking at the smiling girl in front of him, with mixed feelings.
Zhou Bi is the only son of the old lady.
It is not easy for the old lady to raise her son with hard work and hardship in her own wife's family.
Treat others by yourself.
Doctor Cai is also self-reliant, and a woman pulls the child to grow up.
In the same situation, the old lady felt sorry for Li Yan, and Zhou Bi didn't feel strange at all.
Besides, the little girl is used to being a person, and from time to time she goes to the old lady to tell some new things and copy some scriptures to the old lady.
After a long time, the old lady inevitably values her more.
When I met people, I praised her for not only being good-looking, but also pure-hearted.
After that, Dr. Cai died unexpectedly.
She has a motherless child, and the old lady is more and more distressed.
Zhou Bi bought half of the food to honor the old lady, and half of it was used by the old lady to feed her.
Thinking like this, I sat for about a cup of tea, and saw that the old lady still didn't want to deal with him.
Zhou Bi couldn't sit still, and found a way to please the old lady, "Mother, how are you doing these days?" ”
The old lady glanced at him, and her tone was very impulsive, "Do you remember that there is a mother like me, tell me, how many days have you not set foot in Fulu Hall?" ”
The old lady is squeamish, and her temper is also a little big, and the old lady Zhou Biwei is from her.
But the old mother said this, Zhou Bi was really aggrieved, "Where did the mother say, how could the son not worry about you, isn't the son busy with official business?" ”
It's pitiful, not to mention the old lady's house, my own house has not been entered for several days.
Didn't he be troubled by this natural disaster, and slept every day on the bed in the yamen that was as hard as a stone?
The old lady didn't have much reason to say, and her words were extremely heavy: "Your Majesty is busy enough with official business, right?" But Your Majesty has to pay homage to the Queen Mother every day, you say you, you can't be busier than Your Majesty, right? ”
Your Majesty attaches great importance to etiquette and filial piety, and the old lady said that this crime is too heavy.
Zhou Bi couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and said, "Mother, all the mistakes are the son's fault, your old man must be angry, don't be angry with your own body." ”
The old lady was still angry, insinuating, "It's a shame that Yan's childhood is always with me, otherwise no one will know that my old bones are dead." ”
Zhou Xianling was trained to keep his head down and not dare to speak.
Taking advantage of the old lady's inattention, she secretly glanced at Li Yan and motioned for her to say a few good words for him in front of the old lady to relieve the siege.
Li Yan blinked innocently, and chose to be a good person and help him.
"Old lady, you really misunderstood your lord this time. The adults are dedicated to the people, and they have worked hard day and night for this drought.
"You don't know how chaotic it will be at the scene of praying for rain, and there was still that troublesome at that time, if it wasn't for the adults to send someone to suppress it, these people are afraid that they will cause a big disaster. Praying for rain can go smoothly, and adults are indispensable. ”
Li Yan tugged at the sleeve of the old lady's coat, and her voice was soft, "Old lady, if you want to blame the adult, that's mine." ”
The old lady was reluctant to blame her, and her tone immediately softened, "Good boy, how can I blame you!" ”
She glanced at Zhou Bi, saw that he lowered his head in a proper manner, his tone was better, and said to the little girl, "You don't want to excuse him and coax me with words." “
"Where do you dare to deceive the old lady, something happened in the house yesterday, and thanks to the fairness and clarity of the adults, the wicked finally confessed to the law."
Li Yan told the old lady about Baozhu and He Xiucai's conspiracy to kill her, and said good things about Zhou County's order.
The old lady was dumbfounded, took her hand, and looked her up and down carefully to make sure that she was in good shape at the moment.
Only then did he pat his chest and said with palpitations, ", how can these people have such courage, our Yan'er is frightened, right?" ”
Looking at the old lady's worried eyes, Li Yan felt that she might be more frightened than her.
She smiled and shook her head, "Old lady, Yan'er is fine." not only recognized their conspiracy, but also designed to make people ambush. ”
The little girl said lightly, the old lady didn't think that if the person was not hurt, it would be fine.
Sometimes the soul hurts far more than the skin. The injuries on the flesh are much more severe.
The old lady was still angry, and scolded indignantly, "Evil, those who have no heart, have their consciences been eaten by dogs? ”
If it weren't for Yan Ya's intelligence, the consequences would be unimaginable.
