Chapter XXVII: The Descendants of Yasukuni
After dinner, Chuxin sent Wang Chuye back to his residence by the way, Wang Chuye lived in the courtyard next to Chuxin, and it was not troublesome to be very close. Wang Chuye wanted to keep him for tea, but he was worried about the curse at the beginning, so he went all the way to the old lady without sitting down.
The old lady had just finished dinner, and a group of girls were waiting for her to rinse her mouth and clean her hands, and when she saw the eldest prince coming, she added a new cup of tea. The old lady was a little surprised to see him dressed in a monk's robe, and since the beginning came back, she changed her brocade clothes very obediently, and she was diligent and motivated, which made her very pleased. For some reason, she changed into this monk's clothes today, which made her look very awkward. But since she felt that she owed a great deal to this son, she did not want to bother with him in some small matter, perhaps because he had visited the magnates in the city and learned that the holy gods now revere the monks, so he changed back. Through his recent observations, she felt that her eldest son could fully take on the future of the Ye family. So the old lady happily beckoned him to sit down and said, "It's rare to see you come here at this time, didn't Qiu'er say that he had a banquet tonight to invite you? Why is it over at this time?"
Chuxin replied respectfully: "Because I heard something about the banquet and wanted to ask my mother, I left early. ”
The old lady smiled and said, "What can make my son worry?"
Chuxin looked at the room full of maids and servants, and refused to speak. When the old lady saw his solemn expression, she also smiled and retreated. When there were only two mother and son left in the house, the old lady Fang looked at Chuxin and said, "Say, what's so serious?"
Chuxin asked, "I want to ask my mother, can the Ye family really have a curse?"
The old lady was startled, and then laughed: "Where did the curse come from? Where did you hear it?"
"Miss Wang Chu and her second brother are not lying to me, I hope my mother will tell me the truth. Otherwise, Chuxin will not accept the 'God-given good fate' in his mother's mouth. Chuxin said calmly.
"Zhiqiu, did he tell you too?...... this kid" The old lady saw that although her original intention was not slow but unswerving, she had to say: "This matter is a long story, I didn't want you to carry the future of the Ye family, but Zhiqiu's body ...... I also had to ......"
The original intention has already been taken by Ye Zhiqiu, and he is very vain and weak, I am afraid that it is difficult to live long. Hearing the old lady mention it, she also felt sorry in her heart, and said in her mouth: "Amitabha." ”
The old lady saw that Chu Chu was dressed in a monk's robe, and when she heard him open and shut up, Amitabha Buddha felt even harsh, so she said to him: "Since my son has been allowed by the master of the dead wood to return to the world, I will try my best to change the habits of the monks. After speaking, he patted Chuxin's shoulder very lightly.
"Mother misunderstood, the original intention was originally a monk, and it was and will be, not to flatter others, but to not forget the original intention. "The beginning of the heart.
"The Ye family and Weiniang are really ashamed of you, and now I can't ask you for anything, your brother and I originally planned to do our best to ensure that you live a happy life without restraints, but now we can't. The old lady looked at her son, whom she hadn't seen for eighteen years, and felt a little strange in her eyes for the first time. In the days since he came back, although no matter how enthusiastic and warm she was to him, he was polite and indifferent, but after all, she saw his efforts and changes. He obeyed Ye Zhiqiu's arrangement, changed into fancy clothes, participated in banquets, and even took the initiative to visit and walk around to integrate into their world. She thought that he just didn't like to laugh, and she was willing to come back, willing to accept his identity, and willing to forgive everything in the past, so even if he was often cold-faced, she never became discouraged. But I didn't expect that she was wrong, and she never seemed to understand this son of hers.
Chu Xin could feel his mother's faint loss, but he was not used to facing strong feelings, so he could only ask embarrassedly: "What kind of curse is the Ye family, please tell your mother." ”
The old lady looked at the face of the original heart, her eyes were slender, the bridge of her nose was wide, her upper lip was thin, and her lower lip was slightly thicker, which was very similar to his father, but she was a little more indifferent and sacred, looking at him, it was like looking at the golden body of the Buddha, which made people yearn for it but did not dare to approach it easily. He should not be untouched by the world, but now he has to be trapped in three feet of red dust for the Ye family. She sighed deeply, but still said, "Do you know the origin of my Ye family and Wang Chu family?"
Seeing Chuxin shaking her head, she continued: "500 years ago, the world was divided into three parts, and the three countries were Jiang in the southwest, Ye in the north, and Yasukuni in the southeast. Wang Chu's family is the descendant of the Ye royal family, and my Ye family is the descendant of the Jing royal family. ”
"The Jing royal family, but the Yasukuni of Gu Licheng?" Chu Chu suddenly thought of something, interrupting the old lady and asked.
"Yes, how do you know?" said the old lady, puzzled.
"I came from Yunshan in the west, and I once strayed into a village, and that village was Guli Village. The villagers said that they were the remnants of the ancient Yasukuni Kingdom, and the ancestors remembered the great grace of the monarch at that time and vowed to keep their homeland forever for generations. ”
"Unexpectedly, hundreds of years have passed, and there are still people in this world who have never forgotten the existence of Yasukuni. The old lady sighed for a moment.
"What happened later?" asked Chuxin.
Later, Jiang gradually became stronger, and Yasukuni and Ye decided to marry to fight against Jiang, but the ancestors provoked a very powerful monster, which was extremely cruel and devoured the entire country of Jiang, and even the monarch of Jiang was not spared at that time. He also cursed Yasukuni and Ye to destroy the two countries, and cursed the Ye family and the Wang Chu family to live together from generation to generation, otherwise they would be cut off. ”
Chu Chu was very shocked when he heard this, so he asked again, "Do you know what kind of monster it is, how can it be such a strange curse?"
The old lady shook her head and said: "It is said that it is a monster turned into a fierce beast, I don't know very well, the ancestor has not left any paper records, only said that the Ye family and the Wang Chu family have been married for generations, and they must not be combined with other women, the specific reason has passed 500 years, and there is no way to know." However, there are also some records later, saying that there were descendants who married foreign women, but as a result, not only did they have no children, but they also did not die well. In fact, even if the two races are married, although they have offspring, most of them are full of disasters and difficulties, and it is difficult to live a long life. Your father is like this, Qiu'er is the same, even you were ...... back then If it weren't for the Deadwood Master to save him, I'm afraid his life would not be guaranteed. Thinking of the events of the past years, the old lady couldn't help but wet her eyes.
"What happened to the monster later? This curse has passed for 500 years, can't it be solved?" The Ye family is a direct descendant of the Yasukuni monarch, and the original intention recalled that the injuries suffered by the villagers of Guli Village and Yun Tan were all claw marks similar to those of fierce beasts, and they thought that the two were very likely to be related. Now that the clue to inquire about the grievance has been broken, he has been thinking hard and has nothing to do recently, but he didn't expect to find the clue in his own home.
