Spring is warm and fragrant

Chapter 14
A family of three came to Ning'an Hall to pay their respects, seeing the mother-in-law in plain and elegant attire, Xiao Shi was quite surprised.

Marrying into the Lu family for so long, Xiao Shi has long felt that her mother-in-law's makeup does not match her bearing, because her mother-in-law treats her well and asks for warmth as if she were her own daughter. effect.After all, she is a daughter-in-law, and she might annoy her mother-in-law if she persuaded her too much, so Xiao never mentioned it. Didn't expect her mother-in-law to be enlightened today?

Like a mirror in her heart, Lu Mingyu let go of her mother's hand and ran into the main room with a smile, "Grandmother looks so good, is there some happy event?" While speaking, she came to Zhu's face, Lu Mingyu looked at her grandmother carefully, and looked at her eyes keenly. A bit of spring can be discerned at the tip of the eyebrows.Grandfather and grandmother are still so loving even when they are old, Lu Mingyu panicked for no reason for the two elders, lowered her eyes and smiled, moved to the side and grabbed a piece of appetizing hawthorn cake, pretending to be a gluttonous little girl.

Mrs. Zhu would not tell her daughter-in-law and granddaughter about the relationship between husband and wife no matter how thoughtful she was. Seeing that her granddaughter's thoughts were all on eating, Mrs. Zhu sighed to her daughter-in-law: "Mother Lan's nephew has made a fortune in business, so I came to pick her up yesterday. Go home and enjoy the blessings, although I let her go, but I woke up early in the morning and saw no one, and it seemed like something was missing in my heart."

Xiao Shi was taken aback again, Mother Lan was picked up by her nephew?
The noble ladies in the capital, whenever the men have errands, they spend the most time dealing with the maids every day. An old man like Lan Momo who has been with the master for decades is not an exaggeration. The master will also fix a few tables for the maids under the small excitement in the backyard, which can be regarded as a practice for the elderly. Why is Lan Momo leaving in such a hurry?
It was too strange, so Mrs. Xiao sat down to the lower left of her mother-in-law and couldn't help asking for details.

Mrs. Zhu told her daughter-in-law what Lu Zhan had made up for her.

Xiao Shi had no reason to doubt, Lu Mingyu listened to it, feeling a little weird.What a coincidence, grandpa and grandma just reconciled, and Nanny Lan left, just like she hoped that her father would drive away Mo Zhu and then reconcile with her mother. Could it be that grandpa and grandma had been at odds for many years, and Nanny Lan actually got involved? ?
But recalling that Nanny Lan did her best to serve her grandmother in her previous life, Lu Mingyu immediately dispelled this guess.

"Mother, third brother and third sister-in-law."

Ten-year-old Lu Yun led her maid over and was stunned when she saw her mother sitting in the main seat.

"Auntie, we are going to Anguo Temple after dinner, do you want to go?" After eating a piece of sweet and sour hawthorn cake, Lu Mingyu wiped her mouth and sincerely invited.

Lu Yun looked at her sister-in-law and shook her head shyly, "I don't want to go, it's too cold."

It's all a child's mind, Xiao smiled and didn't persuade her any more. She had to take care of her daughter and her blind husband, and she would bring her sister-in-law along, for fear that a negligence would not take good care of her.

After breakfast, the carriage was ready outside, and Lu Mingyu got into a carriage with his parents.Mrs. Xiao wanted her daughter to sit between the husband and wife, but Lu Mingyu refused, and sat on the side seat next to her mother with a smile, saying plausibly, "Mother, let's be next to Daddy, it's convenient to look out of the window here, I haven't been out for a long time, I want to see the street. It's lively."

Lu Rong believed this, but Xiao Shi looked at her daughter's playful eyes and gave her a helpless look. Only then would she remember her daughter's rebirth, otherwise she wouldn't know so many twists and turns.However, the rebirth is also her daughter, Xiao Shi never felt weird.

Amidst the rumbling wheels, Shang Shufu's carriage drove out of the city gate steadily.

Anguo Temple is located in the eastern outskirts of the capital. It was built by Emperor Gaozu when the Daqi was founded. It is located on the mountainside of Panlongling. There are many eminent monks, the incense is flourishing, and there is an endless stream of tourists and pilgrims.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, the carriage could not pass, so the attendant hired bearers in advance to carry the nobles up.

"Daddy, I'll sit with you." Lu Mingyu was a filial daughter, she didn't need her mother to remind her, after getting off the car, she held her father's slightly cool hand, and skillfully led him to the mountain sedan chair.The mountain sedan chair shakes a lot, and it is bumpy to sit up. It is okay to see, but if you are blind, you will definitely feel more uneasy.

Lu Rong has excellent hearing and can estimate the approximate location of the bearer by his voice. Now that he has his daughter as a guide, he handed over his blind stick to his servants and followed her with confidence.Lu Mingyu has short calves and deliberately slows down, so Lu Rong's coordination is not slow or hasty. Looking from behind, it will only make people think that the father is slowing down because of taking care of his daughter. It is absolutely impossible to guess that there is something wrong with his eyes.

"Father lifts his feet, there is a crossbar in front of him." Lu Mingyu stopped in front of the crossbar carried by the bearer, staring at her father's boots, ready to adjust her pace for her father at any time so that her father would not step on the crossbar, "Well, go further A little ahead, right, right here."

The little girl's voice was sweet and soft. If someone else reminded him like this, Lu Rong would be embarrassed and feel useless, but that was his precious daughter. Lu Rong could only hear her daughter's deep concern, and there was a smile on her face from the beginning to the end. A spring-like smile.Xiao Shi just stood aside, and she was relieved until the father and daughter sat down, and said softly to her husband: "My sedan chair is at the back, take care of Ah Nuan, don't tell her to look around."

Lu Rong nodded, her clear and bright eyes looked exactly in the direction of his wife, "Our Nuan is very good, don't worry."

Coincidentally, the sun shone obliquely through the treetops, making the man's handsome face as beautiful as jade, with a warm luster.In fact, Lu Rong really seldom went out, and spent most of his time at home in the study. Mrs. Xiao rarely saw her husband's demeanor outside. At this time, without warning, she bumped into her husband's magnificent side, and couldn't help but be fascinated.

Fortunately, she was wearing a veiled hat, the mountain wind was blowing, the veil touched her face, and the slight itchiness brought her back to her senses.With a hmm, she quickly got on the mountain sedan chair at the back, and Qiuyue helped her sit up, and then signaled the bearers to set off.

"Daddy, was there anything different about your face just now?"

The chair seat was narrow, just enough to accommodate the father and daughter. Lu Mingyu raised her head and asked her father in a low voice.

Lu Rong thought for a while, and said, "Did the sun shine on Daddy's face?" It was warm.

Lu Mingyu chuckled, "Yeah, Dad looks much better than usual, my mother was dumbfounded."

"Don't arrange your mother." Lu Rong didn't believe that his wife would stare blankly, but the corners of his mouth curled up a little uncontrollably, maybe he didn't even notice it.Lu Mingyu could see clearly, and the goal of coaxing her father to be happy had been achieved. She looked into the distance and described the winter mountain scenery she saw to her father.

When they reached the stone steps leading to Anguo Temple, Lu Mingyu led his father with his left hand and his mother with his right hand, and the family of three walked up together.Each stone step has the same width, and Lu Rong quickly mastered the rhythm. After climbing more than [-] floors, she heard her daughter's breathing was heavy, and Lu Rong immediately picked her up.

"Daddy, I still have the strength..." Lu Mingyu was quite frightened, looked at the stone steps she passed, and tried her best to breathe steadily.

Xiao's heart was also raised in her throat, and just about to persuade, Lu Rong walked forward, "Ah Nuan, count and tell Dad how many floors you have walked."

Lu Mingyu looked at her mother begging for help.

Xiao Shi sighed inwardly, Xianggong was blind, so he had to let him do everything, otherwise what should I do if I hurt his face?
There was no way to persuade him about this matter, so Xiao had no choice but to lag two steps behind, ready to catch the father and daughter who might fall at any time, his whole body was tense, and he forgot his tiredness from climbing the mountain.Finally came to the flat ground, a layer of sweat broke out on Xiao Shi's body, and when the mountain wind blew, it was called a cold, looking at her daughter again, her face was flushed with a layer of sweat, Xiao Shi frowned, quickly took out the handkerchief, carefully Wipe the sweat for my daughter.

"Is Ah Nuan scared?" Xiao asked in a low voice, who wouldn't be afraid of being hugged and climbed the mountain by the blind father?
Lu Mingyu was indeed afraid, but looking at her father who was standing facing the wind, she couldn't help feeling proud, and couldn't help being coquettish to her father, "Daddy is really strong, next time he comes over, he will still hug me up the mountain!"

She has lived her entire life, but in her previous life Lu Mingyu had never felt such a father-daughter relationship. Now that everything is over again, Lu Mingyu not only wants to enjoy her parents' love for her, but also returns the same filial piety to her parents, so that they can also taste being loved by her parents. The feeling of admiration and admiration from my daughter.

Lu Rong was slightly stunned, her daughter didn't dare to show her anger all the way just now, Lu Rong understood her daughter's suspicion of him, and never expected that her daughter would want to do it again.After being stunned, it was replaced by intense satisfaction, Lu Rong's eyes became brighter, and his smile was no longer reserved as before, "Okay, as long as Ah Nuan is willing, Daddy will always hug you."

Lu Mingyu smiled sweetly. Although her father was invisible, he was also upright.

"Okay, next time you two come, I'll stay at home." Xiao pretended to be jealous, but she was a little jealous in her heart. Her husband is so strong, but he never hugged her once.

Lu Mingyu heard the slight sourness in her mother's words, and quickly looked at her father. If she said that, Chu Sui would definitely send a series of sweet words, such as that he also wants to stay with her at home.It's a pity that Lu Rong didn't have the courage or cheek to speak sweet words, but just smiled and stood there at a loss.

"Daddy is so stupid." Lu Mingyu whispered to her mother.

Mrs. Xiao nodded her daughter's forehead, then asked her to continue to be a crutch, and everyone went to the main hall to offer incense.

After coming out of the main hall, it was almost noon. The family of three went to the guest courtyard to have a fast meal, rest for a while, and went to visit the temple while it was warm at noon.

The nobles went to enjoy the scenery, and the monks in the monastery performed their duties, meditating, reciting scriptures... washing dishes and washing dishes.

Shoujing is the monk who washes dishes in the kitchen.Although the monastery is known as a pure place of Buddhism, inside it is the same as the rich and powerful family, and the errands are divided into high and low. Those who can go to the front to entertain pilgrims must be dignified and well-educated monks, while those who are ugly or clumsy and do not know how to please the monk in charge will usually Arrange to do rough work, chop firewood and fetch water, do laundry and cook.

Shoujing is in her 20s this year. She has a dark face and thick lips. She looks silly, but she is actually a fugitive. In order to avoid official posts, she pretended to be a beggar and became a monk.When he came to Anguo Temple, Shoujing did all kinds of rough work, and he was very "honest". Even though the monk beat and scolded him, he never retaliated.

Today there are distinguished guests in the temple. The distinguished guests eat in high-quality porcelain bowls, which are very comfortable to the touch.Keeping in mind the instructions of the Great Monk, Shou-Jen was very careful when brushing the dishes, but Shou-ren, who was washing the dishes together, was in a hurry to pee, so he threw the porcelain plate on the table and ran away. The edge slid off, and with a "dang", it fell to the ground.

Shou Jing frowned, walked over to see if the plate was broken, then bent down, suddenly a curse came from behind: "Tell you to be careful, let you be careful, do you know how expensive that plate is!"

The voice was harsh, and it was the great monk in charge of the kitchen who was strict in law.Shoujing's secret passage was bad, and he turned around to explain, but a whetstone flew towards him, Shoujing couldn't dodge, his forehead was hit by the whetstone, he took two steps back, opened his eyes, something fell down in front of him, Shoujing I raised my hand to touch it, and felt blood on my face.

Fa Yansheng's five big and three rough people are used to scolding the subordinates. Seeing that Shoujing was bleeding, he just froze for a while, then immediately roared again, picked up the fire stick and greeted Shoujing, hitting him hard, "Ten dozen The plate of the two is gone, and I can’t get it in exchange if I sell you, why did I raise you, a prodigal bastard... You can tell the host later, I won’t take the blame for you..."

Shou Jing covered her head, trying not to let him beat her head.

But Fa Yan was furious, and the more Shou Jing protected his head, the more he wanted to hit him. He beat and scolded, and he beat him so many times that Shou Jing squatted on the edge of the stove, curled up like a grandson, and Fa Yan barely forced it. Exhausted enough, he threw the fire stick, squatted on the ground to clean up the dishes, and felt so distressed that he died, so he continued to scold Shoujing, "...Thanks to your old lady's death, otherwise I would be mad at you even if I were alive, you prodigal..."

Halfway through the scolding, there was a sudden movement behind him, followed by the sound of the wind, Fa Yan was shocked, but before he could turn around, the back of his neck suddenly hurt!
"you……"

Fa Yan covered his neck in disbelief, and tried his best to turn around, but what was greeted was the second knife under Shou Jing's full strength!

With this knife, Fa Yan was completely killed, and fell to the ground with a thump, with blood gushing from his neck like a pillar.

Shou Jing's eyes were red, until the blood spread to his feet, he regained a trace of sanity in his eyes.After a short period of panic, Shou Jing quickly threw away the kitchen knife in his hand and hurried out.Walking out of the kitchen, seeing Shouren and a young monk coming from a distance, Shoujing's eyes changed and he quickened his pace.

"Where are you going, Shoujing?" Shouren asked suspiciously.

Shoujing didn't answer, and ran straight away.

Shouren was puzzled, walked to the kitchen door, looked inside, was so frightened that he almost fell down the steps.

"Kill... Shou Jing kills!"

A shivering cry rose from the backyard of the kitchen of Anguo Temple.

When the bad news reached the host, the host immediately mobilized all the monks in the temple to arrest Shou Jing, and at the same time informed all the pilgrims to return to their rooms.But at this time, Shoujing had already run to the back mountain of Anguo Temple. When he heard the warning bell, he understood that it was a notification to the monks to close the temple, and Shoujing was very anxious.Once the gate of the temple is closed, he becomes a turtle in the urn with nowhere to escape.

"Daddy, I've hidden it!"

Panicked and at a loss, he suddenly saw a little girl in a pink dress hiding behind an old tree, with her back turned to him and looking west.

There was faint noise from the monks behind him, Shou Jing gritted his teeth, and rushed towards the little girl in pink skirt like an arrow from the string.

A monk suddenly ran out from the slanting stab, with blood on his face, he described it as terrifying, and aimed straight at his daughter. Xiao was so frightened that he almost fainted, and while running towards his daughter, he called her to come back quickly.Lu Mingyu also saw Shoujing, and was so frightened that she ran to her parents with all her strength, but she was a step too late, and was grabbed by her arm and pulled back forcefully.

"Mother!" Lu Mingyu looked desperately at her parents opposite, tears streaming down her face.

She just came back to life, and it's only been a few days to have a good life with her father loving her mother, she hasn't lived enough yet, she...

Don't want to die again.
