During the Spring and Autumn Period, Zheng Zhuang Gong defeated his rebellious younger brother, and in the face of his mother Jiang, who favored his younger brother and connived at his rebellion, the "Zuo Biography" recorded a cruel sentence he said:

"It's not as good as Huangquan, and I don't see each other."

After saying this, Zheng Zhuanggong regretted it. But when the king says, how can he be opposed?

Fortunately, a dutiful son named Uncle Ying Kao came up with an idea for him: dig a tunnel, a spring gushes in the tunnel, and the mother and son meet in the tunnel, which is not a violation of the oath.

Zhuang Gong did so. So the mother and son were as "beginning".

But the Spring and Autumn brushwork, the "beginning" of the mother and son, does not seem to be beautiful.

Sleepless followed Luo Xiangzhu to read some books, and he knew this allusion.

He said to the house: "If you don't see me in the future, I will also dig a tunnel to meet you like Zhuang Gong." I hope you can be the same as me. ”

Luo Xiangzhu said coldly inside: "The Biography of Zuo" said: So the mother and son are the same. You and I are not mother and son, and I am not your mother. Don't pick up people's teeth and make people laugh! ”

Sleepless at night, he smiled helplessly. Miss is a person who rarely speaks harshly, and once she does, she can't be taken lightly.

He sighed and sat on the steps outside the door for a long time, looking at the green and black branches of the apricot tree in the moonlight, in a daze, unable to do anything.

At night, there are many crows crying in Changsha City. The colder it is, the colder it is, the colder it gets, the name of the jackdaw, probably from its name.

Sleepless at night, listening to the crow's cry, distraught, I want to get up and go out for a walk, and come back to do some more thoughts.

When he raised his eyes, two maids came over with lanterns, saluted him, and said, "Woman, the old lady is invited." ”

Sleepless Night was a little surprised, he had only met Mrs. Tai twice so far, once in Anhua two years ago, and the second time was this time.

After coming down twice, the two didn't say a word, but they didn't know what Mrs. Tai wanted to find him.

Looking back at the door of the house, it was quiet inside, and Luo Xiangzhu did not make a sound.

Sleepless thought for a while, hugged his fists and said: "Since Mrs. Tai is invited, the two of you are tired to lead the way." ”

He followed the two maids through the verandah and came to a secluded and solemn courtyard.

It was dark and dark, and I didn't see what courtyard it was.

There were only two or three maids waiting outside the door in the courtyard, and when they saw that the night was sleepless, the first big maid rose up to greet them, bowed down to the inner hall and said, "Old lady, Amiens Woman has arrived." ”

An old voice in the hall said, "Come in, the door is unlocked." ”

Sleepless all night and thanked all the maids. The big girl opened the door, and then he lifted the lotus step and walked in.

When I entered the room, I had a smell of Buddha fragrance, and my sleepless and irritable heart was a little restless.

There are only two lamps in the room, or the left and right Buddha lamps, reflecting a golden Buddha statue, and the treasure is solemn.

When I look at it at night without sleep, it is not very solemn.

It turned out to be a pot-bellied and laughing Maitreya Buddha.

There are two pairs on both sides of the Buddha, which is thought to be written with pen and ink dipped in gold dust, and under the dim light, the golden light is shining, shining brightly, and can be seen clearly. The uplink is:

The big belly can tolerate the things that the world cannot tolerate;

The next link is:

Laugh when you open your mouth, laugh at the ridiculous people in the world.

Horizontal batch:

Amitabha.

This couplet is vivid and abnormal, which makes people look at it and can't help laughing.

On the futon under the Buddha, there is a white-haired old woman kneeling, and it can be vaguely seen that it is Mrs. Tai. She folded her hands and didn't carry a cane.

When he heard that he had entered the room without sleep, he turned around, with a sad face and a brow.

The heart seems to be heavy, and the Buddha is so big that a golden body is not as big as it.

Sleepless at night, he said: "The Buddha laughs, and the Buddha cries." ”

Thinking of his own situation, he was also sad, so he couldn't help but empathize with Mrs. Tai.

He saluted Mrs. Tai and said, "Mrs. Tai, after two years, are you okay?" Amiens saw Mrs. Tai and greeted the old lady. ”

"It's fine. In the past two years, you have grown a lot taller, and you have become more and more refreshed. Mrs. Tai gasped a little as she spoke, and stretched out a hand.

Sleepless at night, he comprehended, helped her up, and said, "Mrs. Tai, seven days ago, you were so sad that you fainted. During these seven days, I have had the opportunity to attain enlightenment, but I have not had time to visit, so please forgive me. ”

Mrs. Tai motioned for her to sit down on a sandalwood Taishi chair, sat down firmly, and let out a long breath.

Shaking his head, he said, "I'm too worried." Don't say it's you, in the past seven days, except for Xiangzhu, whoever comes to visit, I will close the door. You're the second person I've ever met. ”

As soon as his voice changed, he said, "I came to you because I asked you for something important. ”

Sleepless at night, his heart sank, and he said, "I don't know what happened to Mrs. Tai, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Mrs. Tai's withered hand, like a branch, suddenly stretched out, pulled him to a chair beside him and sat down, and saw that he was sitting, and then stood up tremblingly.

Sleepless at night, he hurriedly got up to help, and Mrs. Tai said, "Sit down!" ”

I couldn't sleep all night and had to sit down again.

Mrs. Tai walked directly across from him, bent down, and made a solemn salute to him.

Sleepless almost jumped up from his chair and shouted, "Madame, torment me!" ”

Mrs. Tai straightened up, and her old voice was like a cold fire in the wind: "When the Luo family was shattered, everyone in the house was scattered. You are the only one who protected Jingyi's only bloodline, and worked tirelessly to send it all the way from Anhua County.

I have asked Xiangzhu, she said that you do your best to support her, refuse to slack off, and meet strong people and thieves along the way, it is also you, risking your life to maintain her integrity. So faithfully protecting the Lord and protecting my granddaughter, this gift of old body that you deserve, how can you say that you should be tormented? ”

Sleepless hurriedly helped her up and said, "Miss and I are already the master and servant, she is in trouble, and Amiens should die." Madame, please sit down! ”

Mrs. Tai's face softened a little, and she sat down in the chair upside down, her fingers tapping the armrest in turn, like knocking on a wooden fish, with some rhythm.

said hoarsely: "This worship of the old body is not so pleasant. As I said, I have important things to do, and I need you to work for me. ”

"I want you to help me investigate thoroughly, thoroughly investigate the death of my daughter Jingyi, and thoroughly investigate who killed her!"

Mrs. Tai suddenly slapped the armrest, and with a wave of resentment and anger, spread from her body and permeated this Buddhist hall.

In the dark and cold environment, the shadow of the candle flame danced, and her withered face looked strange and inexplicable.

Sleepless at night: "Back to the old lady." Mrs. Jingyi...... She died by self-immolation after hearing the news of her master's death. ”

The implication is that Tan Jingyi's death has no murderer.

Mrs. Tai turned her head suddenly, looked at him and said, "Do you believe this too?" If I say that she drowned, disemboweled, choked her neck, or fell to death, I believe it, but it is absolutely impossible for her to die by self-immolation! ”

After saying that, she stood up again, and Sleepless hurriedly followed.

I saw her say as she walked: "See, this room is dim and dim, except for the Buddha lamp, there is no light." Why? Because Jing Yi is afraid of fire!

The old body also respects her habit, because for so many years, I don't turn on the lights at night in my courtyard. When people travel, they have to leave this courtyard before they dare to light lanterns. How could a person who was so afraid of fire burn herself and died? ”
