Listening to the crazy screams coming from outside the door, Mrs. Pei, who was only wearing a thin piece of coarse cloth, sat on a cold bench, looked at the food that the servant woman had brought, and said with a serious expression, "Take it away!"
How can she eat these things?
"This is all we have now, please bear with me, Madam..." the servant woman advised earnestly: "My servant heard that all the Pei clan members have left the capital... At the moment, Madam, it is better to take care of yourself."
"Then go find the Yao family!" Mrs. Pei stood up suddenly, with an aggressive look on his face: "I don't want to stay in this ghost place anymore! I want to go back to the capital!"
The maid had mixed feelings after hearing this.
This is what I said...
Who among all the people in Jingye Temple wants to stay here?
But why don't they go back to the capital to enjoy the blessings? Is it because they don't like it?
"Madam..."
"Let Yao Yi find a way to take care of it!" Mr. Pei's eyes repeated: "He can't care about my life or death... He owes our Pei family so much, he can't care about me!"
"And Yao Ran... I gave birth to her, she can't be so unfilial!"
As she spoke, something suddenly occurred to her, and she suddenly walked towards the servant woman and grabbed her shoulders tightly: "Has that little bitch returned to Yao's house? Has Yao Yi already recognized her?!"
"My servant inquired yesterday. Didn't I already tell the lady..." Looking at the unconscious Mr. Pei in front of her, the servant girl only felt helpless in her heart: "That Mrs. Chang is not the master's flesh and blood at all. It was a misunderstanding by the lady before.
Already..."
"Impossible! I saw it with my own eyes...that painting! It's hidden in his study! I've found out a long time ago that that woman is his distant cousin and grew up with his childhood sweetheart..." Mrs. Pei said
Pushing the maid away: "Yao Yi is still lying to me! He is afraid of our Pei family...that's why he dare not admit it!"
"I'm going to ask him myself!"
Mrs. Pei ran out quickly.
"Where are you going, Mrs. Pei?"
Mrs. Pei sternly scolded the woman who blocked her path: "Get out of here!"
"Snapped!"
The woman showed no mercy, slapped her hard, and sneered: "Do you still think you are the wife of the Minister of Dali Temple?"
"How dare you, a despicable person, hit me...!" When had Mrs. Pei been so humiliated, she screamed and threw herself at the woman.
However, she was weak, and after entering Jingye Temple, she often made noises and refused to eat or sleep. She was no match for the old woman. She fell into the muddy water in the rain with just a push.
The mother-in-law's eyes were full of sarcasm: "Ms. Pei, it's better not to ask for trouble!"
After all, Si Gongtai had specifically told them to "take care" of Lady Pei.
"Just wait..." Pei's malicious eyes were scarlet: "Just wait for retribution!"
"There is retribution in this world." The mother-in-law said with a smile: "Isn't it precisely because of retribution that Mrs. Pei can come to this Jingye Temple, which is dedicated to atone for sins?"
She had heard about what Mr. Pei had done.
She is also a capable person. Her parents' family collapsed, her husband's family was also completely offended by her, and even her own daughter was forced to cut her face in public——
It is rare for the road to be so cut off that no escape route is left for oneself.
The mother-in-law was too lazy to listen to the other party's crazy curses, so she held an umbrella and turned around to leave.
Such people should never think about leaving this Jingye Temple for the rest of their lives.
At the moment, you still dare to be picky and talk arrogantly. As time goes by, in order to survive, you will naturally learn to be sensible without being taught by others.
The days are still long, and there is plenty of time for her to slowly atone for her sins.
Mrs. Pei sat in the rain cursing, crying and laughing sometimes.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the rain poured down, washing the gray-white nunnery into an even darker color.
…
In the Yao family in the capital, Yao Ran once again proposed his intention to become a nun.
The old lady of the Yao family and Mrs. Zeng tried to persuade her, and Yao Xia hugged her cousin and cried again and again, but they could not change Yao Ran's mind.
In the end, Yao Yi had a long talk with her daughter alone.
"Ran'er, I know that you have the heart to redeem yourself, but the ways to redeem yourself in this world are far more than self-punishment under the green lamp."
"Ran'er, you should think more carefully..."
In the end, Yao Ran and the Yao family each took a step back and temporarily stayed in the small Buddhist hall in the mansion to worship the Buddha. They lived in the Buddhist hall and saw no outsiders.
The storm has subsided.
In the evening, Yao Yi finished his official duties in the study and raised his eyes to look at the hourglass. It was already mid-Hai hour.
Yao Yi stood up from his desk chair, rolled his sore neck, came to the bookshelf, and took out a painting from the hidden compartment.
The painting was half unfolded in his hand, and a portrait of a woman came into view.
The woman in the painting has an extraordinary appearance and beautiful features, and seems to be holding a hint of sadness that she wants to talk about.
"I found her."
"She looks a lot like you. Fortunately, she takes after your appearance..."
"But she seems different from you, not as sentimental as you."
"Maybe it's because he was raised in a general family since he was a child. He has a neat temperament and is very courageous."
"If you knew what she had done recently, you would probably be scared to death all night long..."
"If you have some free time, you still have to go and give her a few words of advice in her dream... You should not be too conspicuous when doing things in your daughter's house, otherwise, if something happens..."
Yao Yi sighed softly: "My daughter's house is not easy."
He looked at the person in the painting and asked in a low voice: "Jiuniang, now that we have found the person... what do you think we should do next?"
After asking, he laughed: "You have always been the most timid, and it is useless to ask you... You wish you could hide her in your arms forever, and you definitely don't want her to take any risks."
"But in this world, everyone has his own destiny, who can say for sure..."
Yao Yi slowly put away the painting and said to himself: "Let's look at it again... let's look at it again."
"However, you should take the time to visit her dream..." Yao Tingwei said earnestly: "Fighting is not a good thing after all. It's okay if you win, but what if you lose?"
…
That night, thanks to Yao Yi, Chang Suining had a very bloody dream.
In the dream, there was a young woman with disheveled hair and a pale and blue complexion. Her white clothes were stained with blood. She stepped on the thick blood with her bare feet and walked towards Chang Suining.
This situation is really weird and terrifying.
Chang Suining, who was used to seeing bloody scenes, had no emotion in his heart and looked at the woman walking towards him with no expression.
Under her gaze, the ghost woman felt uncomfortable. She tugged at the corner of her clothes and said in a low voice: "I came in a hurry and didn't have time to freshen up and change clothes... I'm rude in front of His Highness."
Perhaps because she was so aggravated by the evil spirit of the battlefield, the ghost became inexplicably cautious in front of her.
Chang Suining said "hmm" and said, "I'll burn some clothes for you later."
He added: "Let me burn some pen and ink things for Ah Li."
Then he felt troublesome again: "It's better to burn more paper money and use it to buy something you like."
This woman called her "Your Highness", obviously knowing that she was not A Li.
In the dream, the woman nodded with tears in her eyes.
"Do you have something to say?"
The woman hesitated again and again and whispered: "I heard that His Highness got into a fight with someone..."
Chang Suining nodded: "Huh?"
"I..." the woman shrank her neck: "Well, if there is a next time, I will try my best to protect His Highness from winning..."
Seeing her like this, although Chang Sui Ning felt that there was no hope, he still nodded: "...Thank you."
Waking up from this mindless dream, Chang Suining sat up and saw that the sky outside the window was already dim and bright, so he got out of bed.
Xi'er heard the noise and walked in: "The girl is awake."
Chang Sui Ning always gets up at this hour now. She and A Zhi take turns keeping vigil at night, and have become accustomed to waiting outside at this hour to serve.
At this time, he walked in, took the robes used for martial arts, and dressed his girl.
"Tell someone to buy some paper money and bring it back."
Xi'er, who was tying her clothes, raised her head: "?"
Chang Suining: "Buy more."
Xi'er nodded and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Who are you going to burn for the girl?"
"Aniang." Chang Suining: "I dreamed about her at night."
Xi'er suddenly felt a little sad when she heard this: "Don't worry, my lady, I will personally arrange this matter and it will be done properly."
After the rain, the air in the martial arts arena is particularly fresh.
When Chu Xing arrived, he saw Chang Suining already waiting, so he stepped forward and said with a smile, "I haven't seen the girl in more than ten days."
It has been five days since Chang Suining came back from Dayun Temple, but Chu Xing went out to do business before and returned yesterday afternoon.
"Yes, Uncle Chu." Chang Suining nodded and said, "Then let's practice for two more quarters of an hour today, right?"
Chu Xing shook his head: "The girl has stayed in the temple for so long, and I heard that she has suffered some injuries. She should take it easy and not act too hastily. Otherwise, she will not be able to keep up with her physical strength and it will be counterproductive."
"Uncle Chu, don't worry, I can keep up." Chang Sui Ning said, "I carry water and chop firewood in the temple every day."
Chu Xing: "?"
He looked at Xi'er uncertainly.
Xi'er nodded hurriedly: "My maid also carries water and chops firewood with the girl every day."
Chu Xing: "..."
This way of praying is very common among family members.
"Uncle Chu, please add sandbags today." Chang Suining made the request.
Facing those overly ambitious eyes, Chu Xing could only nod.
Soon, Chang Sui'an also came.
Chang Sui'an was practicing riding and archery today. The young man was galloping on a big maroon horse, holding a bow in his hand, looking very heroic.
Chang Suining took off his sandbag and stopped to rest and wipe his sweat, when he felt it was time to ask: "Uncle Chu, I also want to learn to ride a horse, is that okay?"
Although Chu Xing felt a little anxious, he really couldn't refuse such a progressive request.
Just out of consideration, he asked someone to bring the only donkey in the stable: "...most of the horses in the mansion are bred to war horses, and the girl is a beginner. To be on the safe side, it is better to ride on the back of this green donkey first.
It takes some time to get used to it.”
Chang Suining nodded without objection.
Under Chu Xing's patient guidance, she slowly climbed onto the donkey's back like a child learning to walk.
Out of caution and protection, Chu Xing first took her donkey and walked her around the martial arts arena.
Sitting on the back of a donkey, Chang Suining suddenly felt like a swaddled baby. She couldn't help but feel that it would be better not to recognize each other easily in the future, otherwise recalling today's situation would cause untold harm to both of them.
Chu Xing handed over the reins: "Girl, you can try jogging for a lap by yourself."
Chang Suining, who finally waited for these words, nodded: "Okay, Uncle Chu."
"Ning Ning, don't be afraid, just run, I will protect you at any time!" Chang Sui'an said loudly.
Chang Sui Ning responded and shouted: "Drive!"
Chu Xing, who was about to explain something more, just opened his mouth and took a sip of blast, which made his cheeks puff up.
It was the green donkey that suddenly galloped out in front of him, like an arrow that had left its string!
Chu Xing was shocked - is this starting speed serious?
He said urgently: "Girl, be careful!"
But he saw the figure on the donkey's back was calm and steady, with his black hair tied high and the dark green ribbon flying, showing no sign of panic.
Watching the man and the donkey running around without any danger, Chu Xing fell into confusion after confirming that the donkey was not crazy and the man was normal.
Donkeys are not like donkeys.
People are not like people.
This scene is so weird, but the two complement each other so well.
Seeing that he was overtaken by his younger sister, Chang Sui'an was also shocked.
Even the big maroon horse under him was no longer calm.
Although I couldn't understand what it was saying, I always felt that it was cursing people, no - scolding donkeys.
Looking at the donkey that had surpassed him, the big bay horse was cursing while running.
——I heard from the brother in the stable next door that there is a donkey in the house who can travel thousands of miles every day. Faced with this ridiculous statement, it always insists on not believing the rumor and not spreading the rumor!
Now that I saw it with my own eyes, I realized that there really are such unruly donkeys in the world!
To be a donkey, you must act like a donkey!
The other party is clearly maliciously disrupting the order of the mount!
Listening to the horse under her constantly spitting out the fragrance, Chang Sui'an slowly stopped, turned over and dismounted, and reminded with complicated emotions: "Rufeng, you have already lost your dignity, so don't lose your grace again..."
With that said, he threw the reins to the sword boy and told the sword boy to feed the horse - if it could still eat.
Chang Sui'an stood at the edge of the martial arts arena, quietly looking at the man and the donkey.
It wasn't that he had learned to calm down, but that he was so shocked that his whole body went numb.
Also numb was Chu Xing.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After Chang Suining ran more than ten laps and jumped off the donkey's back, there was only one voice in Chu Xing's mind - we can't go on like this...
He has to go talk to the general!
Changkuo Courtyard has its own martial arts arena, so I don't often come to the large martial arts arena in the mansion.
At this time, he was pulled over by Chu Xing. He heard what Chu Xing said along the way, "The girl is really not an ordinary person."
Bar".
Chang Kuo's head was spinning as he heard this: "...What on earth are you talking nonsense about?"
Until he came to the martial arts field and saw his daughter sitting on the back of the donkey running around the martial arts field. The bow in his hand shot out ten arrows and hit eight of them. The only two arrows that remained seemed to be filled with "Forget it.
There is no need to be too ostentatious, and it is not appropriate to scare those ordinary people and mediocre people.”
Chang Kuo's eyes were as big as copper bells.
Then came ecstasy.
After being ecstatic, he fell into deep self-blame and regret, and slapped himself hard on the forehead.
Why!
It's all his fault!
In the past, he thought that practicing martial arts was too hard, and he didn't want his daughter's family to suffer. And because his daughter only liked poetry, he didn't dare to make any suggestions in this regard...
Now it seems that he is delaying the child!
Now that things have come to this, I can only try to save and make amends: "Sui Ning, from tomorrow onwards, my father will teach you personally!"
Chu Xing was stunned: "General, this is not necessary..."
He invited the general to come, not to snatch students from him!
Chang Kuo raised his hand and said solemnly: "No need to say more, I have made up my mind!"
Chu Xing: "..." It's very important to say it or not.
On the side, Ah Che asked in a low voice, uncertainly: "General Chu... I, do I still need to continue learning?"
Not to mention whether he is suitable for martial arts training, right now, he is wondering whether... he has some disability that he is not aware of, right?
If they were both healthy people, why wouldn't they be so different?
The boy looked at his limbs and fell into deep self-doubt.
