Qi Concubine's Cultivation Notes in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 9

During the festive season, I miss my relatives a lot, let alone such a reunion night, Li Yunting is indifferent, but the Li Mansion, which is hundreds of thousands of miles away, is not like this.

Da Genglang sang and knocked on the stick, a full moon hangs in the sky, this autumn's moon is extraordinarily round but the stars in the sky are much darker, Li's mansion has already been lit, and the small Buddhist hall in the east courtyard and west wing is kneeling A middle-aged woman, with rosary beads in her hands, was dressed in plain clothes. Outside the house, there were water pavilions and pavilions, and the sound of babbling and opera singing was heard. Standing beside her was a serving girl.The noise outside made the hall even more clean.

Li Wenye accompanied the old lady to listen to the Kunqu opera "Little Hulei" on the stage. It is the story of the Tang Palace. A twists and turns of the story, since the performance in Beijing, it has spread out.Kong Shangren's script is good-looking, but some political reflections are covered up, leaving only a simple story.

The grandfather of the Li family, Li Hezhi, died of a serious illness, and his wife, Mrs. Sheng, was brought into the residence by his son Li Wenye.Mrs. Li had two aunts alive, both gave birth to concubine sons who got the family property and were taken back to the house to be their own old ladies.Among them, Li Wenye was the most promising, and he became the magistrate of the fourth rank when he was over [-] years old.The magistrate of the rich land is indeed a good position, otherwise there would not be a saying that the magistrate will be cleared for three years and a hundred thousand snowflakes.As an official, Li Wenye is considered a clean stream, but he only became a prefect, and even his family has made a lot of money.On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival today, I invited my two younger brothers to have a reunion together.Li Wenye's wife, Hua Shi, had dinner, but left after ordering a play.

"Is your daughter-in-law still reciting Buddha's name?" Mrs. Sheng asked.

For a moment, Li Wenye's eyes were also a little gloomy. He had a very good relationship with his wife, Hua Shi, and he was clean and self-respecting. Among all his aunts, there was only Zhang Shi, who taught him to know human affairs. After Hua Shi entered the door, he helped his aunt. Few of them went, and Zhang's knees were empty and did not give birth to children.Tong Hua gave birth to three sons, raised them meticulously, and they are all dragons and phoenixes among men. It can be said that he is proud of it. When he enters his forties, he has a daughter Li Yaqian, who is even more cherished in his heart. Yuan was abducted by kidnappers while watching the lamp, thinking that Yuxue's lovely daughter has been missing for more than a year, and his heart is also sideways.

"Persuading your daughter-in-law." Old Madam Sheng said, "Sad but not sad."

"Son, save it." Li Wenye said respectfully.

"After all, it's such a reunion day. It's fine to chant the Buddha's name on weekdays. On such a day, I always have to go out and walk around." The old lady Sheng said in a calm voice, and she will like children more and more when she gets older. She also likes Li Yaxi very much. , It's just that if you don't like it and even put aside the business, it's a mistake.

"My son will save me." Li Wenye said, since Li Yaqian was lost, Fahrenheit didn't talk about those days. He washed his face with tears every day, and then he chanted Buddhist scriptures, especially when his daughter was lost during festivals. Every festival, Fahrenheit It's heartbreaking.Li Wenye felt sorry for Fahrenheit, and he could only ask Fahrenheit's nanny to persuade Fahrenheit more every day.

"Last year, I saw that some young girls in the side clan were good, and it has been a year now. Letting your wife adopt one from the side clan can be regarded as having both children, which fulfills her dream." The old lady said .

Li Wenye was stunned when he heard this. He was sad to lose his daughter, but he never thought of adopting one from a neighboring family to give birth to him.

The old lady said: "Don't say anything else, but I saw Li Rulan's girl last year. I didn't dare to talk about it last year. It's just that the girl has been lost for more than a year, and I can see them again soon. This thought came up again." The old lady paused, and Nanny He who was standing next to her hurriedly cupped tea, and Old Lady Sheng took a sip with satisfaction. "Do you know that coincidentally, her birthday is the same as that girl Li Yaqian's, the same birthday."

"Same birthday? That's a bit of a coincidence." Li Wenye said, Li Yaqian's horoscope was seen by an accomplished monk in the temple, which is great.

"Isn't it?" Old Madam Sheng also stroked her hands and smiled: "Not to mention the upright appearance, he came from a small family, and his behavior is not bad. The family background is also poor. They gave birth to six girls before they got a boy. , if it is possible, I will keep her when I worship this year."

Li Wenye didn't expect the old lady to have such an idea. Li Rulan didn't have much influence on him. There are quite a lot of children in this age who adopt children from side branches, but it's rare for them to adopt their daughters so solemnly. Thinking of Fahrenheit's grief, Li Wenye thinks it's possible It's a good idea, but I just thought that the girl must be satisfied by Fahrenheit. If she doesn't like it, she is not beautiful, so she said: "Let Fahrenheit take a look. If there is fate, you can stay."

Old Madam Sheng smiled, and the wrinkles on her face stretched out. She had seen that girl Li Rulan before. She wore a clean old shirt and behaved politely. Resemblance, a pair of eyes are the most beautiful, as if talking when blinking, Old Madam Sheng is illiterate, and always feels that Li Rulan has an unpredictable charm.Fahrenheit was lying on the bed when he went to worship last year, and he had never seen Li Rulan, otherwise, Mrs. Sheng felt that she might be able to keep the beautiful little girl right now.Older people like the excitement of the house the most, but the head of the house, Hua Shi, is sad, which makes her always feel uncomfortable. If such a problem can be solved, the family will be Amitabha. "Okay, okay," Old Madam Sheng smiled heartily.But he still said: "If you don't like that girl Li Rulan, it's okay to be someone else. As long as your daughter-in-law is happy."

Seeing his mother so happy, Li Wenye felt a little guilty, so he thought that he would always have a talk with Fahrenheit at night. Even if he didn't like Li Rulan, he could still adopt him and win his mother's love.

In the evening, Li Wenye rested at Fahrenheit as usual. After some cloud and rain, the maids came in to help the two of them to freshen up, put on their obscene clothes, and they fell asleep on their feet, "Ma'am, what was lost has already been lost. If you do it Cherish the present. To use a sentence in the poem, 'it is better to take pity on the people in front of you.'”

Hearing this, Fahrenheit smiled. Originally Fahrenheit had a pretty face, but because of depression in his heart, now he smiled with the beauty of a weak willow and a strong wind, "Why don't I know this truth? Just thinking of Qian'er is the beauty in my heart." So sad."

Li Wenye said what Old Madam Sheng meant, and as soon as these words came out, Hua Shi was stunned. For Li Wenye, it was just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks, and Hua Shi was a little reluctant. In her heart, Yuxue's lovely daughter could not replaced.It's just that she also knows that the old lady's temperament is always the most lively. After Qian'er was kidnapped, she felt restless, and the atmosphere in the whole mansion was also low. It is understandable that the old lady is uncomfortable.He just adopted someone else's daughter as his own... Fahrenheit felt even more sad when he thought of Qian'er not knowing where she was suffering.He just said softly: "What rules do you have in mind?"

Li Wenye could naturally see what she was thinking, and said, "At least the old lady likes it."

Yes, the old lady likes it, and Fahrenheit knows that her husband is filial.

"If you really don't like Li Rulan, that's fine. If you have more people to eat, it's fine for you to pick someone else to take care of." Li Wenye added.

Fahrenheit shook his head and said: "There's no need for that, I don't have that kind of thought. As for Li Rulan, because of illness last year, I didn't want to see him. I know that, but in a month or so, the person who will deliver the offerings will come, and I will see you again at that time." Look. But since the old lady says it's a good one, let's stay." One sentence sealed Li Rulan's fate.

The two have been married for many years, and Li Wenye naturally knew that this was Fahrenheit's promise, and felt pity for her, so it was rare for her to disregard the rules, so he propped himself up with his arms, sat on top of Fahrenheit, and untied her sleeves with both hands.

The two were tender again, "Min'er, we can still have our own children." Li Wenye said, calling Hua Shi by his boudoir name.

"Okay." Fahrenheit replied.Thinking of Li Yaqian, she sighed in her heart.

Today's incident also reminded Fahrenheit, she has always been a smart person, the old lady doesn't like the atmosphere in the mansion, and she will spend less time chant Buddha in the future, if she always puts on such a face, she can't live like this for the rest of her life of.Suppressing the soreness in my heart, I just thought about donating more incense money in the future to bless my son's safety and happiness.

Li Yunting didn't hurt the spring or autumn. She originally planned to sprint to the second floor of Qi training on the full moon at night. After the lights in the main house were extinguished, she lifted her Qi and jumped out from the courtyard door, and then walked quickly to the white room. The hillside where the grass is mowed in the daytime is open, and it is the most suitable place for cultivation.

Naturally, there are native dogs in the village. Li Yunting hurried past the road. The animal just opened its eyes and took a look, then lay down on the ground again. Animals are more sensitive than humans. Li Yunting is a cultivator. On the top is the gentle water spirit root. Animals have always been close, so they keep silent.

After taking a drop of water from the marrow washing pool, Li Yunting sat cross-legged and began to practice.With the help of the marrow washing pool and his outstanding aptitude, he broke through in just half an hour, and then sat cross-legged on the ground to consolidate his realm.The aura that moves in the body is as thick as a little finger and grows as thick as a middle finger, and the light blue aura is also slightly darker.

After the water in the marrow-washing pool had been refined, he used his spiritual energy on his legs and started to run fast, feeling satisfied in his heart.
