The Buddha Temple is not pure

Chapter 66

"Sister Immortal, if you get married, what will Yue Yueniang do?"

The oil stains around his mouth hadn't been wiped clean, his solemn appearance made people laugh, but his expression was serious, his black pupils were full of Xue Suilan's shocked face.

As for who Yueyue Niang was, no one knew, which caused the table to whisper, and the old man put down his chopsticks with a "snap", and then quieted down.

"Yu'er, I was wrong for agreeing to your marriage with the Duan family earlier. That child Duan Shiqing is obsessed with hunting dogs and rabbits all day long. He is really not a man to make. If you really marry him, you will be in trouble later. It was fine when Boss Duan was here, and the Duan family was well-off, but now the Duan family... besides Duan Shiqing, do you have any favorites? Dad will arrange it for you."

Xue Suilan took out a handkerchief and wiped Xiao Si's mouth: "Father, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. It is an indisputable fact that the Duan family is still the richest man in the Eastern Capital."

Ji Yuanjin said: "That's right, as long as Jishitang doesn't collapse, no one can shake the Duan family's position in Dongdu, but we don't want to be inferior to others, there is no need to covet his wealth, especially you, Yuer, You grew up held in the palm of your hand by your father, and no one has ever wronged you, in terms of vision and heart, you shouldn't be like this."

"Yes." Ji Xuanzhen said, "You'd better think about it again, if it's aimed at his Duan family's property, it doesn't have to be like this, not to mention that Duan Shiqing has a skin bag, and the appearance of gold and jade in it is my favorite." I can't see it anymore."

"Big Brother and Fourth Brother misunderstood." She smiled, "Didn't you go to Duan's house for me? I also talked to them about the conditions I offered. Agree, without Jishitang, what is the Duan family afraid of in Dongdu? Naturally, I am not running after their wealth."

"Then why are you?"

"No, no, no." The old man said in surprise, "Duan Shiqing agrees to hire Ji Shitang? Why?"

"What's the reason for this? Why doesn't Dad believe that he has made up his mind not to marry me? Your daughter is not bad, so no one cares about it."

That's what he said, but the old man still felt uncomfortable: "Yu'er, let's discuss this matter from a long-term perspective. I watched Duan Shiqing grow up, and he really isn't a good match for you. Let me think about it again."

"Father has a deep prejudice against him. I heard that on the day Zhu Xiaogong was injured, the fifth girl killed the puppies he raised. He didn't mess around, and he didn't buy them again. Instead, he started to study in seclusion, and occasionally went to Jishitang to check the accounts. If it’s about taking responsibility, it’s not like I don’t have one point, anyway, I know what I’m doing, and I’m asking my father and brother to help me.”

Pei Mengqiang said with a smile: "Look, I helped Duan talk before entering Duan's house, but it's not a good time right now, even if you decide to get married, I'm afraid it will have to be put on hold for a while."

"February [-]th is a good day, what does Fourth Brother think?"

"You... this... are you going to stay on the same day as me?" Ji Xuanzhen raised his eyebrows, "Yu'er, there are no outsiders here today, tell the truth to fourth brother, did Duan Shiqing do something to you? I remember three years ago You marry him, but you swear to the death, why is it changing so quickly now?"

"Fourth brother, the holy aunt was the daughter-in-law of the Duan family three years ago, but now she is the new wife of the fourth brother. Who in this world is not silently changing all the time? The sun and the moon are like this, the sky and the earth are like this, and so are people's hearts. ..."

"What about you, what are you doing with me? Don't mention it in the future if you have nothing to do. Do you hear me?"

"understood."

"Marry a new wife while marrying a daughter, no, I don't agree." The old man's stubborn temper came up, and no one dared to persuade him.

Xue Suilan had no choice but to act coquettishly and said, "But Dad, don't rush to the eighth day of February. Do you want me to choose another date? Once New Year's Eve is over, it will be the year of the widow. What if you get married..."

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, those who celebrate the new year are looking for bad luck." The old man's eyes were slightly wet, "Hey, I'm old, and I have no power to take care of you. Now that you are old, you have your own ideas. Now that I have made up my mind, I have no choice but to fulfill it. As for the Shiji Hall of their Duan family, it doesn’t matter whether they want it or not, but if he dares to treat my precious daughter badly after marriage, don’t blame me for bringing a machete to the door. Huang Tu buried his neck and didn't care about pulling him back."

"You're still talking about me, Dad, what are you talking about when you're older than the New Year?" Xue Suilan took a piece of pear syrup and wheat cake and stuffed it into the old man's mouth, "Eat something sweet to moisten your throat .”

"There is no one who is sensible, and my daughter is the best..." The old man filled his mouth with tears, but his heart was still bitter. After all, the daughter he had raised for so many years became someone else's dinner, ah no, beside the pillow Human beings are so sad, I am afraid that only a father can understand.

"Father is right." Second Master Qiao continued, "It doesn't matter if they want Ji Shitang or not. I'm joking, right? The reason for asking Ji Shitang to hire him is to verify Duan Shiqing's sincerity? Let's not say whether they are willing to give , even if I give it, we won’t be able to take care of it here, my business is already overwhelmed, and if there are more Jishitangs, even if I have my eldest brother and fourth brother to help me, I’m afraid I won’t be able to do so.”

Ji Yuanjin and Ji Xuanzhen nodded one after another: "That's right, besides, we are inexperienced, if we force Ji Shitang to come over, I'm afraid it will hit our hands."

Speaking of this, Xue Suilan suddenly laughed out loud: "Second Brother, since he has no ability to separate himself, why don't you ask an expert to take care of Ji Shitang?"

"Senior?"

"Who is it?"

"Whoever manages it smoothly will be the one." She smiled with her chin on her hands, her eyes were as bright as stars.

Second Master Qiao also smelled the smell of peach blossoms and kept silent, but Ji Yuanjin said: "Could it be the fourth girl of the Duan family that Yu'er is talking about, but in the final analysis, she is still a member of the Duan family."

"Whether she's from the Duan family or the Ji family, I don't count, but the second brother does."

Second Master Qiao said with a smile, "You ghost..."

She turned to the old man and said, "Father, on the eighth day of the second lunar month, why don't you have a happy family?"

The old man said helplessly: "You, I wasn't there at the time. I don't know. When your mother left, she specifically explained that although the fourth child of the Duan family is nice, she doesn't have the same temperament as your second brother. How can you match them up?"

"Whether it fits or not is not just what my mother said casually, it depends on the second brother's mind."

Ji Dingqiao bowed his head: "It's not my idea alone. I still have to ask her what she means. We all know that she has her own ideas and is not a master at the mercy of others."

"Second brother, you need to be more confident." Xue Suilan's words made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere became lively again.

But Xiaosi couldn't laugh no matter what, she stuffed her mouth full of food angrily, her little face was stretched out, like a puffer fish.

"What's the matter? You can't swallow your life if the food is delicious." Xue Suilan pinched his little face.

But he is also a tempered person, he doesn't respond to his mouth, his eyes don't respond to him, and he still pushes it into his mouth on his own.

"Okay, okay, after dinner, my sister will take you to set off the fireworks, okay?"

"real?!"

Destroy the enemy with one move, and children are really easy to coax.

She smiled and said, "Of course, the fireworks are set off every year. You happened to catch up with me this year. After dinner, let's go to the west gate of the city. It's far away and the fireworks are the best to watch."

"Okay, okay." Xiao Si clapped her hands, wishing to free her feet again, "Actually, you can also see fireworks in Mengjue Temple, but it's not fun if it's too far away. It looks like the size of a palm, so I have never watched fireworks near the temple, let alone set them off with my own hands."

"Dongwu Terrace?" Xue Suilan was surprised, "Is there anyone setting off fireworks on Dongwu Terrace?"

Ji Xuanzhen nodded: "Yes, there are every year, but they are released secretly after the curfew. I don't know who it is, but the momentum is not weak."

Xiaosi also nodded: "Because we have evening classes at night, we missed most of the fireworks. When we came out, we could only see the fireworks from Dongwutai."

"Dong'an Hall is not more than a hundred steps away from Dongwutai, right?" Pei Mengqiang said, "It's really bold to set off fireworks after the curfew. Aren't you afraid of disturbing the holy lady?"

"I've never heard her mention this matter. It's only on New Year's Eve, and it's not played every day. Presumably she doesn't care too much." Fourth Master Xing guessed naturally.

Xue Suilan smiled meaningfully, looking at Xiaosi: "Then let's go to Dongwutai to enjoy the fireworks tonight."

"Okay, but sister, your eyes seem to be cramped, it's okay."

She snorted coldly and turned her head away: "You are like this. From now on, you can only inherit the mantle of your second senior brother. I am afraid that Wanzhang Hongchen will miss you."

"No, they all said that I look like a boy who spreads money around the Bodhisattva. I will definitely be a good-looking talent in the future, and many girls will like it."

Xue Suilan pinched his face: "It's really brazen. Girls will like someone who looks good? Too naive."

But looking at his small appearance, it is really hard to describe, his eyebrows and eyes have a bit of Duan Shiqing's shadow, and the lower half of his face has the charm of Zhu Mengzhen, even the dimples are exactly the same, he is indeed cute, but it is also a headache.

After dinner, she took Xiaosi to Dongwutai alone. Although the distance was not far, but it was already late at night, Ji Xuanzhen was worried, so she took out her morning mallard horse: "Go early and come back early, don't worry about it." Fun."

"Understood, fourth brother, it's really long-winded."

Chen Fu's horse's footsteps are considered fast, but before reaching Dongwutai, the fireworks have already exploded in midair.

Although it wasn't directly below, it was still extremely shocking. Xiao Si was dumbfounded, sitting on the horseback shaking her head, her eyes were full of fireworks.

"Sister, look, look, how can you be so beautiful!"

"The fiery trees and silver flowers are so red that they blow up the sky and blow the winter wind."

Xiaosi turned her head, her clear eyes seemed to be covered with mist: "Sister, it's a spring breeze."

Xue Suilan tapped his forehead lightly: "Where is the spring breeze, it is clearly the winter wind, which hurts people's faces."

The two of them went up to Dongwu Terrace. They originally thought that bypassing the stairs in front of them, it should be a lively night scene. There were at least seven or eight children, three or five beauties, and romantic talents, tasting wine and talking about tea. Although there was a curfew, Dongwu Terrace High, you should not put the world in your eyes.

But when they went up, there was nothing else on the balcony except the sound of fireworks exploding.

There is not even a red light, only a thin figure, facing the north wind and flickering with the fireworks.

"It's you?" Xiao Si smiled.

Zhu Mengzhen turned around and froze in place when he saw him.

Xue Suilan patted Xiao Si on the shoulder: "Good boy, go play by yourself."

Xiaosi happily ran away, but Zhu Mengzhen was full of confusion: "Why is he here?"

Xue Suilan wandered around, but couldn't find what she was looking for: "I climbed up to set off fireworks by myself, and I don't even have a pot of wine. You are too boring."

"Let me ask you, why is Xiaosi here?"

"He wanted to watch the fireworks, so I brought him here. I didn't mean you. Even if you are in Dongwutai, it is still far away from Mengjue Temple. You must at least go to Yekui Slope to see it clearly. .”

"What do you mean?"

"You set off the fireworks just for Xiao Si, and you chose Zishi specifically because you have to wait until his evening class is over. You have worked so hard."

"I have no way to stay by his side, I can only bless him in this way."

She smiled and said: "Why don't I feel wronged, recognize Xiao Si, and let him marry me into Duan's family. Although my biological mother can't be by my side, I still have my own father to protect me."

Zhu Mengzhen tilted his head and looked at her. Is this a devil in front of him?

"What does it mean to recognize Xiaosi?"

She smiled slyly: "Admit that he was born of an illegitimate pregnancy between me and Duan Shiqing."

"What do you want to do? Eight years ago, you didn't know each other, who would believe it?"

"You don't need to worry about that, as long as Duan Shiqing is willing to admit it, nothing else matters."

Zhu Mengzhen was impatient, but instead smiled: "You...do you want to marry into the Duan family with this? You want to use Xiaosi to repay Duan Shiqing's half-life marriage? You promised me that no matter what happens, Xiaosi will never be harmed, and the monks will not lie Don't you feel ashamed that you're still the lantern attendant?"

She approached Xue Suilan aggressively, with the tip of her nose pressed against the tip of her nose, and the breathing of both of them could be detected, and she just glanced at Xiao Si from the corner of her eye to see that he was having a good time, so she was relieved.

But Xue Suilan smiled lightly: "You're getting angry from embarrassment? You've been in the Yuheng Pavilion for so long, why didn't Lian Zhenxing learn anything about his wit and wit? With your appearance, how can you protect Xiaosi?" , or recognize him to me."

"Don't even think about it! Don't think that I don't know about your conspiracy." She was so angry that her teeth were itching, "If you want to get rid of Tianji Palace, you have to complete the half-life marriage with Duan Shiqing. Before Yue Weiyang secretly plotted for you, you may have an opportunity, but now I succeed Dong Du as the writer, no one can facilitate this marriage, and Duan Shiqing has no intentions of you, so you jumped the wall in a hurry and wanted to use Xiaosi's blood to marry into Duan's residence."

"The Holy Aunt's thoughts are really meticulous. I didn't expect to be so thorough. I didn't know there was such a way without you telling me."

Zhu Mengzhen snorted coldly: "I said that day in Chasing Yuanting, facing Duan Shiqing's unreasonable demands, why are you so sure? It turns out that you have such intentions!"

She couldn't laugh or cry: "Okay, let's stop chatting, let's enjoy the fireworks, such a beautiful scenery, but you look like this, don't you think it's a sight to behold?"

"Your existence is a shame! Xiao Si is my debt to Yu Liuqing, not your bargaining chip."

"There's no end to it. I don't need Xiaosi. I can make Duan Shiqing marry me obediently. The fun is yet to come. What are you in a hurry for?"

Xiaosi didn't know when she came over, and seeing Zhu Mengzhen clinging to Xue Suilan with a ferocious and aggressive expression, she immediately got between the two and pushed her away: "Don't get close to the fairy sister."

Zhu Mengzhen did not expect that the son she took good care of would actually protect others, and the fireworks exploded "boom", which became the sound of her heartbreaking.

Seeing her desolate expression, Xiaosi felt ashamed, clasped his hands together and said: "Benefactor, I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Her nose was sore, her eyes were slightly wet, but at the moment of tears falling, she turned around and picked up the embarrassing fireworks.

"You watch slowly, I'll go first."

"Walk slowly without sending."

After she turned down the stairs, Xiaosi pulled Xue Suilan's dress and asked: "Sister, did I go too far just now, that benefactor is always nice to me, I shouldn't hurt her heart. "

Xue Suilan patted his head: "Since you know that she treats you well, you should think about repaying her kindness."

"But I don't know why she is so nice to me. The Buddha said that there is no meeting without a reason, and naturally there is no love or hate for no reason."

Fireworks exploded into thousands of flowers above the head, and sparks hung down on the corners of the eyes and brows. The stars were dotted, extraordinarily beautiful. Who is not brilliant, but they have fallen into the dust and have not yet come out of the night.

"For some things, you don't need to ask why, just cherish the fate."

She lowered her head and looked at Xiaosi's ignorant expression. Today's on-demand broadcast is considered to have planted a good root. I hope that one day he will learn the whole truth and won't hate himself.

"Sister, the stars tonight are also beautiful, especially the stars in the northern sky, they are very conspicuous."

"Really, such a clear astrology is really rare in winter nights."

"I heard that every star is guarded by gods, is it true?"

"Of course."

"Then who are the gods guarding the Big Dipper?"

Xue Suilan cleared her throat: "Since you asked, I'll introduce you to you. Have you seen the brightest one? Mr. Lian Zhen Xing, he is a staid old man who knows how to copy the horoscope every day. Copying and writing, calculating and calculating, changing the wooden stake station can do his work for him, and the one that is the most unstable is the greedy wolf star, who likes to mess with the couples when he has nothing to do all day long. I feel that I have achieved a good relationship, that my name will last forever, and I am very annoying; by the way, there is another one, the weakest one, have you seen it? Lucun Xingjun, the most picky among the seven, an abacus Never leave your hand, no one can take advantage of him, and that one, Pojun Xingjun, you Yueyue Niang was locked up in that place where no shit, thanks to him..."

While talking, Xiao Si smiled: "Sister, you can't really be a fairy?"

"That's natural."

"Then can you rescue Yueyue Niang?"

"You miss her very much?"

"think."

"She's so fierce, and the food is unpalatable. What do you think of her?"

Xiao Si smiled shyly: "I don't know, but with her here, I feel very at ease. In the past three years, I haven't had a good night's sleep. I can dream of her almost every night, and the big brother , but the number of dreams about senior brother is not as many as Yueyueniang."

Xue Suilan touched his shoulder and neck, the child is so pitiful, he is used to being abused, but he still can't bear it: "Then let me ask you, if you could only choose one, Yueyueniang and me, who would you choose?"
