The fact that Chu Run's nose was broken by Chu Ling quickly spread throughout the Chu family, but because the Cao Gang had already sent people to cancel the marriage, no one would stand up for him anymore.
He briefly enjoyed the aura of the Caobang son-in-law, but lost it again unexpectedly.
But no matter how the marriage with Caobang changed, the imperial examination still had to be taken. The days passed by, and the time for autumn was coming soon. Chu Xiu, Chu Quan, and Chu Run were taking the exam at the same time, and the entire Chu family was shrouded in anticipation.
In the atmosphere, they are quietly waiting for the arrival of the results release day.
During this period, the business of Jiu Ku Tea House was booming. It was probably because of the publicity of Yu Ahu and Du Yumei outside. Many people came here to buy Jiu Kuding and drink it as herbal tea. Although the effects were different, Jiu Kuding
The unique bitter taste has attracted a large number of customers.
Shi Chunfen was busy at the teahouse until dark every day, as if this was the only way she could temporarily forget about Chu Ling and Weng Xiaohuan. Later, she heard from Jiang Chao that Weng Xiaohuan still didn't let her go and chose to become a nun, and Weng Xiong became seriously ill because of this.
In one incident, the entire Cao Gang lost its backbone. Weng Zhenhai grew a lot overnight and led the gang to launch a revenge attack on the Ju Shark Gang. The Ju Shark Gang was beaten to the point where they fled and did not dare to approach Liuzhou again.
Before the results were released, the old lady organized all the female relatives of the Chu family to go to Hongque Nunnery outside the city to pray for Chu Xiu and others and bless them for high school. This nunnery happened to be the nunnery where Weng Xiaohuan was located, so Shi Chunquin hesitated again and again, but still
I couldn't help but come to her door to see her current situation.
Because her relationship with Weng Xiaohuan was not very good, she was not sure that Weng Xiaohuan would definitely meet her when she came to the door. But what she didn't expect was that, after being informed by the bhikshuni, Weng Xiaohuan quickly sent someone to welcome her in.
After not seeing him for a few months, Weng Xiaohuan looks a lot more rounded, white and plump. He has completely lost his previous fierce and arrogant appearance, but he looks much gentler.
"The poor nun's name is Hui Xin. I have met the eldest young lady."
Shi Chunfen hurriedly returned the gift, "It turns out to be Master Huixin."
Huixin invited her to sit down in the house and poured tea for her with her own hands. "The tea in the temple is crude. I hope you don't mind," she said.
"No." Shi Chunfen was not used to Weng Xiaohuan's current appearance, so she simply picked up the tea cup and took a sip, trying to hide her embarrassment. It wasn't until her mouth was filled with a familiar bitter taste that she realized belatedly, "This is
Three Kuding?”
Huixin smiled at her, nodded and said, "Exactly."
Shi Chunfen didn't know what to say. In the past, Weng Xiaohuan couldn't even drink nine kuding, but now she can drink three kuding. Every change in her body made people extremely distressed.
As if aware of her thoughts, Huixin picked up the tea cup and said with a smile: "I didn't know what bitterness was so good about before. It wasn't until I experienced all the bitterness in life that I realized that the bitterness in this tea was nothing at all."
Shi Chunfen didn't dare to raise her eyes, fearing that she might be offended by her sympathetic gaze, so she had to force a smile and said, "Yes, once you fall in love with the bitter taste, Jiu Kuding seems to be an addiction that you can't quit. How do you drink it?"
It’s not even enough.”
Huixin looked at her and smiled peacefully, "Is there anything that worries you, Madam?"
In the past, Shi Chunfen would have definitely changed the subject, but somehow, facing Weng Xiaohuan like this, she had an urge to complain, as if this was the only way to prove that she did not pity her, but could truly relate to her.
She empathizes.
"Yes." Shi Chunfen nodded honestly and finally raised his eyes, "The relationship between me and the uncle is not considered love."
Hearing this, Hui Xin was not surprised, and there was no fluctuation on her face. It was as if she was just listening to a strange believer pouring out her inner troubles, "It takes ten years to cultivate in the same boat, and it takes a hundred years to cultivate in the same boat. Since it is fate in the past life, it is better to just accept it."
It’s natural.”
Shi Chunquin also understood this truth, so he quickly nodded, "I think so too."
So even after so long, she did not take action against Jiang Ya. She wanted Chu Ling to think clearly about what he wanted, and she would only cooperate and not force it.
The two fell silent, each holding a teacup and tasting it slowly, as if only the bitter taste in the teacup could connect them bit by bit.
After drinking a cup of tea, Shi Chunfen hesitated again and again, but couldn't help but ask the question he wanted to ask, "Why did you choose to become a monk?"
Obviously there are countless ways out in this world. With her status as the eldest lady of the Cao Gang, even if she doesn't marry into the Chu family, she can still find a place to hide her name and start over.
As if he expected that she would ask this, Huixin smiled lightly and said, "The poor nun is just redeeming himself."
"Salvation?" Shi Chunquin was very surprised by these two words.
She was obviously not the one who did the wrong thing, so what does she need to be redeemed for?
Huixin looked at her and said bluntly: "Maybe the donor has forgotten, but the poor nun will always remember that Weng Xiaohuan was not innocent back then."
She used to rely on her status as the eldest lady of the Cao Gang to bully the weak. Shi Chunfen was just one of the countless people she bullied. Because of this, she could not forgive herself after being insulted because she always believed that it was her fault.
The sins he committed led to his retribution.
If she was willing to be kind and not do evil everywhere, would God still treat her like this?
She couldn't figure it out, so she had to cut off her six roots and become a monk to find the answer.
After hearing what she said, Shi Chunfen was speechless for a long time.
Although she didn't agree with Weng Xiaohuan's idea, she really couldn't say anything against it.
When a person refuses to forgive himself, no amount of forgiveness from others will be superfluous.
"Then have you been redeemed now?" Shi Chunquin continued to ask.
Huixin laughed and nodded quickly, "I got it."
Although she has only been a monk for a short time, this place is enough to calm her. She only needs to copy sutras and recite the Buddha's name every day, and occasionally go out to listen to the troubles of devotees, and she can spend the day happily.
No one here will look at her strangely, and she doesn't have to worry about being a burden to Caogang.
For a young lady who has been insulted by thieves, staying in Caogang is a slap in the face to Caogang.
Her departure made the entire Caogang feel relieved, and she no longer had to carry the past and could hide in this hut safely and lick her wounds.
Seeing that she didn't seem to be holding on, Shi Chunfen smiled happily and said, "That's good."
In fact, it doesn’t matter if you get married or become a monk, it’s just your own choice.
As long as you live a comfortable life and live a life without regrets no matter where you are, that is enough. If others interfere too much, it is just nosy.
