green bamboo dream

Ruan's mother smiled: "Why did Madam forget again, Chunyan has already left the family, and now she is going to call Cai Baokang's family.【26nbsp;23】"

"Didn't you forget?" Yu Zhu was a little embarrassed.

Chunyan is Yuzhu's dowry maid, she is straightforward and meticulous, because she is not young, she married Liao Guanshi, who was in charge of carriages and horses in the outer court, a few years ago, and now she is very respectable.

Cui Shi gave several maids like this, and now they have all been married one after another, becoming capable daughters-in-law of Yu Zhu's subordinates.

This time when Mrs. Xie went to offer incense, she must be very clear about some things as she served in the past.

The curtain rattled, and Hua Ruo led a young woman in.

The daughter-in-law was wearing an autumn-green embroidered cross-collar long jacket, a pair of small silver hairpins inlaid with pearls were stuck in her glossy hair, her eyebrows were trimmed into thin willow-leaf eyebrows, and her mouth was painted with a touch of lip balm. It is generous and decent.When Yuzhu asked her, she was still calm and organized:

"Returning to the wife, the servant got a letter from Ruan's mother, and Tete paid attention...the girl Qiuwen didn't make any movement along the way. She arranged for her to sit in a car with the servant, and she didn't talk too much."

"The servant girl originally thought she was going to join the old lady, but I didn't expect that as soon as I arrived at Pudu Temple, the servant girl disappeared. It happened that the old lady went to the Daxiong Palace, and the servant girl went to look for Miss Qiuwen." Cai Baokang's family's face With a little bit of confusion, "I found it in the hall... those Bodhisattvas, she worshiped them all one by one, and the slaves were dizzy watching them... By the way, she still burned three sticks of incense."

Three sticks of incense?

Yu Zhu also frowned, the three sticks of incense are for her own blessing, and generally few people burn them, who doesn't have a relative in this world?Even the poor people burn six sticks of incense to pray for the blessings of the two generations—the most common incense, the difference between three sticks and six sticks is not much, the higher the price, the more expensive it is, thirteen sticks of incense are the ultimate, for Gao Xiang, who has perfect merit and virtue, will cost a lot of money.

And usually there is not enough time, you only need to burn in front of the Daxiong Hall, and Mrs. Xie will not pay homage to each of them. Isn't it too funny for her maids to worship Bodhisattvas one by one?

Resisting her exuberant thirst for knowledge, Yu Zhu nodded to show that she knew, and then smiled and asked Cai Baokang's family, "How are you doing?"

Chunyan was a little embarrassed, until Yuzhu teased her viciously, "Did Cai Baokang bully you, don't worry, I'll ask the second master to clean him up."

She blushed and nodded.

Yu Zhu also became happy. She understood Cui's meaning and knew that it was a good way to contact the outer court, but she still hoped that these girls could be treated well and have a happy second half of their lives.

Now it seems that whether it is true or false, life is going well anyway...

Seeing off Chunyan, Yuzhu's heart moved slightly, and she looked at Hua Ruo, seeing her in a trance, she couldn't help joking: "Don't just watch, if you are tempted, tell me Come on, it's not a problem."

Hua Ruo's fair face was rosy, but she didn't want to dodge it as usual, but said like a mosquito: "Whatever the wife says, the servant will do."

There is a joke, Yuzhu smiles with crooked eyebrows, Hua Ruo is the oldest, Zaoyuan and the others can wait, but she will become an old girl if she delays.

Just about to try harder, a little servant girl suddenly ran in in a panic and said, "Ma'am, the old lady has arrested Aunt Chen, what a big commotion."

Yu Zhu and Ruan's mother looked at each other, and quickly stood up. Could it be that Aunt Chen really did it?

After entering the Siqian Hall, she saw that the main hall was empty, and there seemed to be a sound in the Dongci room, so she went straight in.Sure enough, there were quite a few people standing in the small room, and little Aunt Chen had already been pulled over, her hairpins were scattered, she was crying so much that she kept kowtowing her head: "Old lady, I was wronged, it wasn't me In the house..."

Yu Zhu saluted Mrs. Xie first, and then softly asked Mother Zhou: "What's the matter, what happened?"

Mother Zhou whispered: "I found something in Aunt Chen's house. Although it was ground into powder and mixed in the soil of the flower pot, it was still found by Mother Xie."

Unexpectedly, Xie's mother's nose is so good, Yuzhu suddenly understood why Xie's mother was most afraid of going to the temple with her.

Mrs. Xie scolded angrily, "It's not from your room? Lin Lang is recruited. Every time Mrs. Jing'an comes, the two of you have to close the door and talk for a while."

Aunt Chen's face was pale, she knocked to the bottom, and cried: "The concubine never closed the door, it must be because Lin Lang saw that I didn't help her pay off the debt, and felt resentful, so she framed me, old lady, you have to be aware. Besides, this In the backyard, there are many people who often listen to Master Jing'an's lectures on Buddhism... Aunt Song, Aunt Song, too..."

This should be the aunts of the old man.

Yu Zhu stole a glance at Xie Shi's face, saw her smile coldly, and then told Mama Yang: "Go and bring Aunt Song here."

Not long after, a fat and thin woman walked in.

This was the first time Yu Zhu saw the old man's aunt, she was wearing a beautiful blue satin-trimmed padded skirt and jacket, she was gentle and elegant, she stood with her head down on the steps, she was very elegant and amiable.But Yu Zhu didn't dare to underestimate her at all. From maidservant to Tongfang to giving birth to the eldest son and then promoted to concubine, this road is not so easy to walk, especially in the hands of the stern and stern Xie.

What's more, according to the rules, aunts who were born as maids can add their surnames in front of their titles. They are all children who are favored and are very respectable in front of the master...

"Aunt Song." Xie's voice was soft, but his eyes were terribly cold, and asked her: "Master Jing'an also often goes to your room to give lectures on Buddhism?"

Blessing the body lightly, Aunt Song smiled and said: "There have been so many times... the concubine was influenced by you and read a few Buddhist scriptures. Unfortunately, due to her status, it is not convenient to go to the temple. Fortunately, Master Jing'an came to give a lecture. Speaking of Buddhism, at least I can have some comfort.”

"What sutras are you talking about?"

"I said the six-character mantra, and the most recent one is the Heart Sutra, and I have only talked about half of it. The concubine is very stupid and slow to learn." Aunt Song stroked her temples with some embarrassment.

Xie's hand brushed his sleeve lightly, and said calmly: "You are very polite."

Mrs. Xie would naturally know which courtyard Master Jing'an went to in the Cheng Mansion. Since she asked, she definitely didn't want such an answer.

Aunt Song was a little slippery.

Yu Zhu didn't have the slightest impression of that Master Jing'an, how could she not know that such a person came to the door, so she whispered to Zhou's mother.

Zhou's mother carefully glanced at Mrs. Xie, then moved closer to Yuzhu, and whispered in her ear: "Since my wife got married, my teacher hasn't visited her. You don't know..."

She paused, and added: "Master Jing'an is from Pudu Temple... The old lady believes in Buddhism, and the old aunts also believe in it more or less. There is a small Buddhist hall in her house, and Master Jing'an visits it from time to time Bringing a young apprentice to read a few Buddhist scriptures and get some money for sesame oil, the old lady sees that she is honest and walks around several noble families in Beijing, so she keeps turning a blind eye."

This Yu Zhu also heard from Mrs. Cui that there are usually male monks and female monks in a large temple. Under the name of a temple, the actual practice residences are far away, and they only get together to discuss Buddhism when they are in bed.

Aunts believe in Buddhism, and because they can't go out in leisure, so does Mrs. Jing'an provide free door-to-door services?It doesn't matter if anything happens, if something happens, she, who can enter and leave the inner house, must be the first to be suspected.

Mrs. Xie looked at Aunt Chen, her eyes were full of disappointment. She thought that Mrs. Chen, although she had done a lot of things to fight for favor, was honest and honest. People, stumbling the mistress and other evil things, I still couldn't hold back the evil thoughts in my heart, and moved my thoughts that I shouldn't have.

Because the eldest grandson Meisheng lost his daughter-in-law's life back then, so he was not liked by the boss all the time, and the yard he lived in was a bit off... The north wind blows these days, so the incense wasn't burned in Ji's yard. , It was lit on the north side of the yard, and the wind blew the fragrance over, but the latter one was really difficult, and it was easy to blow away...

Mrs. Xie could basically determine who did it, she looked at Aunt Chen who was kneeling on the ground in a mess, and said slowly: "Don't worry, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it, Mrs. Jing'an is coming soon, Linglong... ...It's time to recruit soon." The voice was not high, but there was a clanging sound like a metal stone hitting each other, and a chilling air rushed towards his face.

Aunt Song looked calmly at Aunt Chen who had trembled twice, and said with a smile: "Old lady, what's wrong with Aunt Chen, the maid and concubine just got the news that our eldest grandma got a daughter, and she is about to Prepare to thank the Bodhisattva properly, so you called your maid and concubine over, what... what happened?"

"Of course the Bodhisattva would like to thank you." Mrs. Xie didn't even look at Aunt Song, but only ordered: "There's nothing else for you, let's go back first." Then he ordered someone to drag Aunt Chen into the side room next to her.

Aunt Song complied meekly, and just as she turned around, she saw the little maid leading Mrs. Jing'an in.

She frowned slightly, then smiled too lightly at Master Jing'an, and walked away gracefully.

Yuzhu saw that Mrs. Jing'an was already a woman in her mid-fifties, wearing a silk black dress, with a white and fat face like a full moon, with stretched eyebrows, very kind and kind.

There was a little nun following behind, who must be her little apprentice.She is quite beautiful, and the simple and loose black clothes can't hide her graceful and exquisite figure. If she didn't lose her black hair, she must be a rare beauty.It's just that the eyes are a little dull, which destroys a bit of beauty.

Seeing the scene in the room, Mrs. Jing'an was also a little apprehensive, and said with a forced smile, "I don't know what advice the old lady has for calling the poor nun."

Mrs. Xie lost her previous good looks towards Jing'an, and said straight to the point, "Master, as a monk, how can you do such a thing of stealing?"

Now not only Mrs. Jing'an, but everyone in the room was stunned. When did the theory of stealing come into being?

"Where did you say that?" Master Jing'an's round face turned pale, "The poor nun became a monk, why would he covet things outside his body after decades?"

She said angrily, "If it wasn't for the mission of saving the world, the poor nun wouldn't have come to your door of wealth and honor."

Yu Zhu was dumbfounded, didn't it mean that this teacher often hangs around in rich people's homes to exchange some sesame oil money, why did he become popular again in a blink of an eye?

"Little Aunt Chen's house is missing two red gold gemstone rings, and now I have reported it to me. If this is the case, I have to ask the teacher to go to the yamen."

Mrs. Jing'an was taken aback by Xie's tough tone. Although the old lady was a bit cold in her impression, she was still devoted to Buddha.She frowned, there are two pure gold gemstone rings in Aunt Chen's house, the only one is still on her hand like a treasure... This is clearly a frame-up

Although she wandered around the inner house, it definitely didn't mean she was willing to be involved in it.

"The poor nun is willing to confront little Aunt Chen, even if she goes to court." Master Jing'an's face turned purple, and she clasped her hands and recited the Buddha.

Xie sarcastically said: "Master is deceiving me that there is no one in the Cheng family. The eldest grandson's aunt goes out to show her face, but she is not ridiculed. As for the confrontation, I would like to hear what the master said first. Anything else to do?"

Mrs. Jing'an heard that Mrs. Xie meant to favor little Aunt Chen, so she became a little uneasy, and argued, "It never happened before."

"Mother Yang, send someone to find the second master." Xie ordered without even rolling an eyelid.

Mrs. Jing'an panicked all of a sudden, why did she look for the second master of the Cheng family? Thinking of what the second master of the Cheng family did, she felt a drum in her heart. If she was really caught, even if she was rescued, she might fade away first Skin.

Even that person might not want to meet

Why did she provoke such a show, Mrs. Jing'an's complexion changed a few times, seeing that Mama Yang was about to go out, she hurriedly said:

"...There are some things."

Satisfaction appeared in Xie's eyes, and he said slowly and methodically: "Finally, I'll listen."

Mrs. Jing'an saw that Mama Yang was standing at the door, but turned around, as if she was about to go out at any time, she became more and more flustered, and couldn't care less, she had to keep herself first, so she gritted her teeth, "Old lady, The poor nun only sold some incense to Aunt Chen, and the rest was teaching Buddhism, and she never stole... If the poor nun made a false statement, he would fall into the Avici Hell forever after death... Parasangha reveals the truth, Bodhisattva..."

"What fragrance?" Anger slowly rose in Mrs. Xie's heart, her face still not showing at all, and she waited for Master Jing'an's scriptures to finish before opening her mouth.

Master Jing'an tightened his face, turned the beads in his hand, and replied: "It's just some rare fragrances, with a better smell, some with lily, some with sweet-scented osmanthus...all made by the temple itself .”

Just to remind little Aunt Chen that she bought her own kind of incense, and then she is full of nonsense, splashing dirty water, and be careful to expose the incense she bought to use on the young master of the Cheng family.

Thinking about it, I was a little annoyed. I knew that I shouldn't get involved with the process family. They have too many tricks, and they are far from being as easy to deceive as other people.After getting away, I won't come again, and it's useless for the apprentice to beg... She has been paying too much attention to that girl in the past few years, and she should beat her up, but she can't refute the master's interest, it's really hard manage……

"Hmph, does it smell good? The fragrance of Mixian really smells good."

Mrs. Jing'an suddenly heard such a sentence while thinking, and it sounded like thunder in her ears. She looked up in horror, just in time to see Xie's cold eyes... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe, reward, your support is my biggest motivation.)
