Xu Lanqing still didn't show up, the song ended and everyone dispersed, Zhong Yaqin's face was full of loneliness.
Xu Xiuyi wanted to send her back. When she walked to the door of the theater, she saw gold, jade and silver jade still waiting at the door.
Seeing Xu Xiuyi and Zhong Yaqin coming out, Jinyu Yinyu couldn't help but be surprised.
"Grandma, why are you two alone, and where is Master Qing?"
When Xu Xiuyi heard this, she was also slightly surprised: "Why, my brother has been here?"
After saying that, he looked towards Zhong Yaqin and saw that Zhong Yaqin's eyes were red.
Jin Yu is a very clever and clever person. He roughly understood something and replied in a low voice: "Not long after grandma entered, Master Qing came over. Later, grandma happened to pass by and asked the slaves to move things. The slaves told Master Qing
There are two grandmas watching the show inside."
Saying this, Zhong Yaqin's tears will fall.
Xu Xiuyi didn't know what to say, so she could only comfort: "Brother Xu didn't see me and I. He couldn't see us because of the dark heads in the corner where we were sitting. He thought we went out through the back door."
Jin Yu also said hurriedly: "I saw Master Qing going in to look for him. When the slaves left, Master Qing hadn't come out yet."
Only then did Zhong Yaqin hold back with a look of grievance, but she still felt uncomfortable in her heart, saying: "If he had searched hard, how could he not have found us? Besides, I haven't gone back at this time, so he should come out and look for us again."
try to find."
Xu Xiuyi hurriedly apologized to Xu Lanqing: "It's my brother's fault. I'll talk to him later."
But Zhong Yaqin said: "No, hey, forget it, if you don't go back, I'm afraid he will be really anxious."
Xu Xiuyi didn't understand what Zhong Yaqin was thinking at this moment. Seeing that Zhong Yaqin seemed unable to bear to blame Xu Lanqing, she knew that Zhong Yaqin must be very much in love with Xu Lanqing.
Xu Xiuyi nodded, asked Jin Yu to lead the carriage to the town gate, and walked towards the town gate with Zhong Yaqin.
It was a long way to the entrance of the town. Zhong Yaqin always had a gloomy look on her face, but Yinyu had a lively personality. She talked about how Su Li had bought a lot of things, and how Miss Qing helped a child on the street.
To relieve her boredom, Zhong Yaqin finally had a smile on her face.
*
After sending Zhong Yaqin back, it was already dark. Normally, she would have already gone to bed. However, today she went to the market, so people were coming back one after another at this time, and the streets were still lively.
Xu Xiuyi thought that now that she was here, she simply took the dumplings back. Su Jinyu had a dispute with her about dumplings a while ago, so she was not sure about taking her child home. In addition, the old man of the Xu family liked dumplings, so the child was in the Duke's Mansion.
Stayed there for a while.
It’s been a month since I was full of money, and Xu Xiuyi missed Tuanzi very much.
After entering the mansion with Zhong Yaqin, they realized that Xu Lanqing had not returned yet.
The expression on Zhong Yaqin's face was a bit complicated, and she looked at Xu Xiuyi worriedly: "Did you really think that we went out from the back door of the theater, so they were looking for us all over the world? It's already dark, why hasn't your brother come back?
Uncle Yu, send a few people to look for him."
Seeing Zhong Yaqin's love for Xu Lanqing, Xu Xiu sighed that she was another infatuated woman.
She comforted Zhong Yaqin for a few words and then went to see the dumplings.
The dumplings have been taken by the nanny these days and are staying at the old man's house. Xu Xiuyi went to see the old man and brought in some jade objects he bought at the market. The old man was still copying a copybook.
I was quite surprised to see Xu Xiuyi.
"Girl, why did you come so late at night and no one informed you?"
"Grandpa, I'm sending this to you. Whose handwriting is this? It's so well written."
The old man took the jade toys from Xu Xiuyi's hand. He liked them very much and walked over while playing with them.
"Who knows whose calligraphy is it? I feel that this hand calligraphy is vigorous and powerful, just like flowing clouds and flowing water. The more I look at it, the more I like it and want to copy and learn from it. I got it from your brother's study. It probably belongs to a famous calligraphy and painting artist. Your brother has always liked it.
Collect these, oh, there is a signature at the bottom, I can’t see clearly because of my bad eyesight, so you can see who made it.”
Xu Xiuyi smiled and looked over, but when she saw the signature, her smile froze.
"Whose? With my old and dim eyes, I can vaguely see the word "安"."
Xu Xiuyi hurriedly calmed down and said those three words as if nothing had happened: "Young Master An Cheng."
"Young Master An Cheng, why does your name sound so familiar?"
The old man took a breath and frowned, thinking carefully. Xu Xiuyi's eyes lingered on the words.
This was the first time she saw his handwriting. It was as her grandfather said, vigorous and powerful, like flowing clouds and flowing water.
She didn't want to have any contact with him anymore. Just mentioning this person made her heart feel uncomfortable, so she changed the subject.
"Where's the dumplings?"
When the old man of the Xu family heard about his precious great-granddaughter, he acted like a naughty boy.
"I broke my Liuli Zun in the morning and scolded her a few times. You said this milk baby is really a sperm. She ignored me all day and couldn't coax her well. In the evening when I had dinner, I fed her.
She turned her head and refused to let her go, and now the nanny has fallen asleep with her, and I am still thinking of how to please her tomorrow."
Xu Xiuyi burst out laughing, feeling more relaxed.
Suddenly, he didn't want to take Tuanzi away. Seeing that Mr. Xu liked this child so much, it was the child's blessing and the fate of these two people, so he said: "I'm going to see her. I haven't seen her for several days.
I have been busy these days, and I will probably have to worry about my grandfather for a few more days."
"I really wish you wouldn't take her away."
The old man said with a smile, looking like a naughty boy.
In Xu Xiuyi's memory, this was a person who loved her very much, so when she saw Mrs. Xu, she felt warm even though she knew in her heart that he was not her real grandfather.
"My father has probably gone to bed. Grandpa, you should go to bed quickly. You said your eyes are not good, and you still light an oil lamp at night and copy the copybooks."
"Don't you like this calligraphy? Do you like it? Otherwise, grandpa will make the decision and give it to you."
Xu Xiuyi was startled and said hurriedly: "I don't know how to appreciate these."
But Mr. Xu was very insistent: "Take it, take it, your brother has been in a trance these days, and he can't even notice if one or two things are missing. This is a good thing. When the dumplings get bigger, you can
Let her practice calligraphy like this. People say that the words are like the person they are. If the words are cool, the people will be cool. Daughters should not be overly restrained. Just like you, your father taught you to behave well.
It seems that it is not as good as now, lively and capable, how good it is."
Xu Xiuyi smiled, Mrs. Xu had already rolled up the scroll, and then sent the scroll to Xu Xiuyi's hand: "Take it."
Xu Xiuyi couldn't retreat. She just wanted to leave the house and find a place to throw away the calligraphy and painting. She didn't want any of his things. The calligraphy and painting, as well as the gold and jade in the hall, she could throw away what she could and couldn't throw away.
Put it at the bottom of the box and never look at it again in my life.
After looking at Tuanzi, he was sleeping soundly. Xu Xiuyi sat beside Tuanzi's bed, her eyes filled with tenderness.
The nanny came over and asked in a low voice: "Is grandma here to take the girl home?"
"I'm busy and don't have time to take care of Tuanzi, so I'll stay here for now. I will spend more time to see her. You take good care of her."
After saying that, he stood up, walked two steps and came back. He leaned over and kissed Tuanzi's white and tender face before he really left.
Thinking that she should go say hello to her father, she learned that her father had gone to the Second Prince's house for a banquet, so she went to Xu Lanqing's room to say goodbye to Zhong Yaqin.
Before entering, I heard Zhong Yaqin crying outside. Although the cry was suppressed, it was clearly audible in such a quiet night.
Xu Xiuyi sighed slightly, Xu Lanqing had indeed gone too far today.
She comforted Zhong Yaqin and said that Xu Lanqing might have thought they left through the back door, so she was looking for them everywhere.
But that theater shed had no back door at all.
Zhong Yaqin didn't know why she was crying. Xu Xiuyi hesitated at the door of her room. After all, he was helpless about the woman's tears, so he asked the maid to say that she was gone, and then left the Xu Mansion.
*
Back at the Su Mansion, it was already late at night. Xu Xiuyi was in a trance all the way. There were scattered fragments in his mind, and he didn't know what they were.
For a moment she thought that she was playing computer games in the office.
Suddenly I thought about how she was not allowed to enter the college entrance examination because she was late. Her mother threatened the examiner that she would jump off the building if she was not allowed to enter.
Suddenly I thought of when I was a kid and I went fishing with my cousin and almost drowned.
Suddenly I thought of Master An Cheng again.
She returned to the Su Mansion in a trance like this, and when she entered the room, she discovered that the scroll she originally planned to throw away was still in her arms.
Jin Yu fetched some facial cleansing water and saw her looking at the scroll in a daze, and asked in a low voice: "Grandma got it from the old man?"
"Well, there's no need to be busy. You and Yinyu are very tired today. Go and have a rest."
Jin Yu nodded, but did not leave immediately. He first twisted the handkerchief for her and cleaned her face before closing the door and going out.
Xu Xiuyi opened the scroll slightly, and felt a pang in her heart when she saw three clearly written words in the lower left corner of the scroll - Mr. An Cheng.
It's not that she's not chic enough, it's just that she loved her so deeply after all, how can she forget it if she forgets it?
Taking a deep breath, she closed the scroll and got into bed.
While sleeping, I felt someone touching my cheek, which made me feel a slight itch and a slight warmth.
She thought it was probably a dream, so she continued to sleep peacefully. Xu Xiuyi didn't wake up until dawn. She was really tired yesterday.
Jinyu Yinyu had already gotten up, and when he saw her getting up, he gave her breakfast.
She ate half of the minced meat porridge and pickled radish shreds but lost her appetite.
"Grandma, why don't you eat it?"
"It's a little hot today and I can't eat. Please leave."
Hearing this, Jin Yu asked, "Get some ice for grandma to eat."
"No, the heat will return to the heat. It's not the season yet, I'll eat it up later."
"Grandma, will you go to the market in the afternoon? There are still two days left."
Thinking of the huge crowds of people and the suffering in the theater yesterday, she raised her hand and said, "If you don't want to go, if you two want to go, just go by yourself. You just happened to help me pack something for me to come back. Yesterday I went to watch the theater. What the hell?"
I didn’t buy anything serious.”
Yinyu's face showed excitement. She had regretted yesterday. She spent a long time guarding the door of the theater and helped the grandma move things for a long time. She didn't have any time to wander around. She also wanted to buy some rouge and gouache.
Woolen cloth.
"What is grandma going to do?"
she asked cheerfully.
Xu Xiuyi actually didn't want to do anything. What else could the Su Mansion lack? She just wanted to let Jinyuyinyu go out and play in peace and contentment.
So, he reported a few things casually, and wrote down the gold, jade, silver and jade one by one. Xu Xiuyi said again: "I took a carriage and went there. It's hard to get back because there are so many things."
Jinyu Yinyu responded and went out happily. Xu Xiuyi smiled softly and suddenly thought of the scroll she brought back yesterday. She looked around the room and saw whether Jinyu girl or Yinyu girl had chosen one advantage.
The words were hung up.
She frowned, stood up and walked to the edge of the painting, stood on tiptoes to reach down, but found it was a bit difficult, so she found a bench and stepped on it.
The bench was the small stool that Jinyu sat on when she washed her feet. It was small and narrow. She stepped on it to prop up her feet. The bench was unstable. She fell forward and fell heavily onto the bookcase next to it. Several books
The book and inkstone fell down, hitting her head and face, and the skin on her forehead was scratched.
She gasped in pain, her wrist was probably sprained when she fell.
She shook it hard in pain.
Bad luck.
Why have she been so unlucky these past two days? Whenever she has anything to do with Mr. An Cheng, she will inevitably get hurt. Even if her heart is hurt, her body is also hurt now. What evil has she done?
Looking at the words in annoyance, her face turned red with anger. She no longer had the strength to climb up, and she felt that her wrist would be dislocated.
Su Jinye was not at home at the moment. She had nowhere to seek medical treatment and had to rely on herself. After all, she was also a surgeon in her previous life.
My wrist was not dislocated, it was probably just sprained by excessive force.
She clenched her silver teeth and rubbed it, and finally she was able to move.
When she walked to the bronze mirror, there was a small bloody cut on her forehead. It was not deep, but the blood had dripped down her eyebrows and onto her clothes.
She washed the handkerchief and held it, then took out the pearl powder and sprinkled some on the wound. She felt more and more angry in her heart. She was so angry that her eyes were red.
Rubbing her wrists and breathing hard, she could hold back all the tears. She was unwilling to shed another tear for that person.
After spending less than half a cup of tea, she finally calmed down a bit. She got up, opened the wardrobe and changed into a set of clothes. She thought that when the gold and silver jade came back in the evening, she asked them to take down the word and throw it away.
She didn't want to stay in the same room with his words.
She thought, go and sit in the big room.
Only after I got there did I realize that the big house had gone to the market again, and there was only one maid left guarding the house.
When Xu Xiuyi came back, she realized that she was really a miserable person, with no friends to even talk to.
So she wanted to go to worship Buddha. The last time she went to Thousand Buddha Temple, she spent the whole day bored. Today she also went there to spend the day. Although she did not believe in Buddhism, the place of Buddhism was indeed clean and could make people calm.
.
She didn't ask for a sedan or a carriage. She went on foot. After briefly treating the wound on her forehead, she let her hair down and slanted it to cover the wound. The remaining long hair was tied around her waist with only a pink ribbon.
Tie a bow at the back.
How long has it been since she wore such a casual hairstyle?
It seems that it has been a long time.
*
At Thousand Buddhas Temple, Xu Xiuyi knelt in front of the Tathagata Buddha statue. She didn't come to make a wish or to restore the Buddha. She just wanted to listen to the Sanskrit sounds and calm her mind.
A young monk walked by and looked at her curiously, probably because her hairstyle was too strange.
No one recognized her as the third grandma of the Su family who had been here last time.
During lunch time, the temple will distribute vegetarian meals to pilgrims. This vegetarian meal is not free, but it is not expensive either.
Xu Xiuyi gave the money and ate at the long table with a few pilgrims, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.
The Fifth Prince.
This world is really small. In two days, I met the Fifth Prince twice.
It might not be unusual the first time, after all, everyone went to attend the temple fair, but today she was at Qianfo Temple, and people were busy going to the market and had no time to pray to gods and worship Buddha, so she unexpectedly met Wu Mo again.
Wu Mo didn't see her, or maybe because her long hair covered half of her face, and her hairstyle was so casual, Wu Mo didn't recognize her.
Wu Mo took the rice and went directly to her meditation room.
He said the last time he came here that it was a Zen room specially built for her by the Thousand Buddhas Temple. She was a lay disciple of the Thousand Buddhas Temple and occasionally went up the mountain to practice spiritual practice.
In that room, he also invited Xu Xiuyi to have dinner.
If it was fate that we met, it was strange that Wu Mo served the meal himself.
He is a dignified fifth prince.
Xu Xiuyi looked slightly confused as she watched Wu Mo disappear, but she quickly didn't think much about it and continued to take care of her meal.
She thought that she would not be so unlucky today and would meet Master An Cheng again.
That's all, she planned to go back down the mountain as soon as possible after eating.
If you don't want to go home, you can go back to your parents' home.
After eating the vegetarian meal, Xu Xiuyi went down the mountain.
She went to the Duke Protector's Mansion, and when she returned she found out that Xu Lanqing had not come back last night. Not only that, it was already noon on the second day, and Xu Lanqing was still missing.
The Duke's Mansion was so anxious that they sent people everywhere to look for him.
As soon as Xu Xiuyi returned, Xu Yuan took her hand: "I'm about to ask someone to invite you, so hurry up and accompany your sister-in-law. The house is already in chaos. Your sister-in-law is crying non-stop. I'm very upset.
.”
"Dad, do you want me to ask someone in the store to help?"
Xu Yuan waved his hand: "The people in your shop don't recognize your brother, so don't make the matter a big deal. Now your grandfather's house has also got the news and sent people everywhere to look for your brother. I don't know if your brother will."
Maybe I got drunk at a friend's house and I haven't woken up yet."
"Don't you think so?" Xu Xiu recalled, "Even if he is drunk and cannot come back, the family should send someone to report it."
After saying that, he was afraid that Xu Yuan would be overly worried, so he said, "I'm not sure he's out of town, and the people who came to inform him haven't arrived yet."
He made a wish and nodded, but he could only comfort himself in this way. Although Xu Lanqing was a seven-foot man and had martial arts skills, he was unable to prevent disaster. Xu Lanqing had never been home all night. He was really afraid, afraid that something unexpected would happen to Xu Lanqing.
He calmed down, knowing that he couldn't mess up first, so he recalled to Xu Xiu: "Accompany your sister-in-law."
Xu Xiuyi nodded and entered the backyard.
*
At the foot of the mountain, the Duke Protector's Mansion was looking for Xu Lanqing to go crazy. On the mountain, Xu Lanqing just wanted everyone to forget about him and Wu Mo, so that they could stay together in this Thousand Buddha Temple for the rest of their lives.
He was willing to abandon everything and elope with Wu Mo, but he also knew that Wu Mo had too many worries and couldn't let go.
And after he calmed down, he was hampered in his footsteps and couldn't move.
The bitter mandarin duck finally chose to live on Qianfo Mountain for a short time. Wu Mo let him in through the back door, sneaked into the Zen room, and never left again.
Last night, he and Wu Mo had performed the rites of Zhou Gong, a pure place of Buddhism. Although such behavior was blasphemous, he could not resist Wu Mo's beauty and initiative.
The fragrance of her virginity tempted him to abandon all worries. After a night of love, he transformed her from a girl into a woman. Now they had just had lunch, and the two of them had sex again. The clouds cleared and the rain dispersed. Wu Mo
Lying on his arm, your fingertips gently rubbed circles on his chest.
"I want to ask something, please don't be angry."
"kindness."
"Am I better, or Zhong Yaqin?"
Hearing this, Xu Lanqing pressed Wu Mo down: "What are you talking about?"
"It's about you. Do you like me more or Zhong Yaqin?"
In fact, she was so bitter that she regretted not being selfish again and intercepting Zhong Yaqin, so that Xu Lanqing was hers alone. Now, her status is worse than that of a concubine.
If it weren't for her naturally optimistic temperament, she would definitely have red eyes thinking about this.
Even if she wasn't crying, there was sadness in her eyes that she couldn't get rid of.
Xu Lanqing lowered her head and bit her shoulder, kissing her carefully.
Wu Mo covered his mouth, not daring to moan unbearably.
"I have never done anything like this to her. And I have never done anything like this."
Xu Lanqing said this, kissed Wu Mo's lips, touched the water and gave it a shallow peck.
Wu Mo blushed and still felt shy. Although she had done everything she had to do and her long-cherished wish had come true, when she saw Xu Lanqing, even her breath was filled with shyness.
Hearing Xu Lanqing say this, she felt sweet in her heart, but she didn't believe it: "You lied, you are both married."
"Who said getting married has to be like this?"
He said that he would kiss her again. Wu Mo chuckled and said shyly, "Why do you have to say something and do it?" After saying that, he looked at Xu Lanqing expectantly and said, "Have you really never kissed her?"
"After you left that day, I got so drunk that I went crazy. Only when I woke up did I realize that I already had you in my heart, and there was no way I could fall in love with any other woman. Zhong Yaqin
It's very good, but I don't like it, so I can't feel comfortable sleeping with her anyway. Mo Mo, nothing happened between her and me."
When Wu Mo heard this, he looked like he was about to cry.
I don't know if I am happy or excited.
Xu Lanqing kissed her lips: "Although I'm sorry for her, I'm glad that my best night was given to you."
Wu Mo reached out and climbed onto Xu Lanqing's neck: "Me too."
"I, Xu Lanqing, swear here that in this life, I will only have you, Wu Mo, as a woman. If you get involved with other women, I will suffer a terrible death and be struck by lightning."
"No, Lan Qing, as long as you have me in your heart, that's enough."
Wu Mo reached out and touched Xu Lanqing's lips to stop him from continuing.
Xu Lanqing looked at Wu Mo with a pair of affectionate eyes, took Wu Mo deeply into his arms, and said: "I, Xu Lanqing, have never lied about what I said. I love you, Mo Mo, and I will never do anything to make you sad."
It’s over.”
Wu Mo's throat was slightly choked, and despite the sweetness, there was a hint of bitterness.
It would be great if she was just a girl from an ordinary family.
——Digression——
Who can be more miserable than me? I started coding diligently at 8 o'clock, but the power went out. The code words in the background were not saved. I was so sad that I almost cried.
Today’s update of 10,000 words, I’m sorry for you, there are only 6,000 words left
