Ning Yuan entered the Moon Cave Gate, leaned behind the pillars of the verandah, stretched out half of his head and looked around, the water lotus was holding the bag and was coming in from the Hanging Flower Gate, Ning Yuan looked at her, and waited for her to turn the corner and burst out in one step, "Shhh ” "That's you" Shui Lian was frightened, and she knew who it was before she saw it clearly, and she suddenly became angry.
"No, that's me."
Ning Yuan was a little complacent, "Your girl didn't come back in the house."
"You didn't poke open the window paper and see," Shuilian stopped him, and raised his foot to continue walking.
"Then I don't dare" Ning Yuan followed closely, "Okay, your girl suddenly ran to the temple to listen to what scriptures and went to your mansion What happened?"
"I don't know."
Shui Lian was still not angry, walked to the door of the upper room, lifted the curtain and flashed in, and shook the curtain with his hand, Ning Yuan was about to follow up one step at a time, but was thrown out by the curtain.
"Hey, you haven't told me yet, your girl is not there" Ning Yuan asked outside the door on tiptoe, and Li Tong's voice came from the house, "Please come into the wing room and sit." ” Ning Yuan's eyebrows suddenly fluttered, and he took a few steps to the door of the wing room, and pushed the door into the house.
For a moment, Li Tong looked very haggard, came in from the upper room, lifted the curtain, sat down in his usual sitting position, and his voice was very low, "You came yesterday" "Yes, what's wrong with you" Ning Yuan leaned forward, looking at Li Tong, who was obviously haggard and depressed, and even his expression became serious.
"The girl has been kneeling from yesterday to today, and she didn't eat, so she drank a few sips of water, and the wife instructed her to let the girl come back and rest quickly, but she can't be tired anymore."
Shuilian and Lumei came in with a bowl of tea, Shuilian handed the soup and tea, and looked at what Li Tong said, but it was for Ning Yuan.
"I'm fine."
Li Tong looked really tired, Ning Yuan pressed the armrest of the chair with his hand, and wanted to stand up but didn't move, "I'll ask your girl what's wrong, leave immediately, otherwise I won't worry."
Ning Yuan looked at Shui Lian and confessed, but Shui Lian pretended not to hear and ignored him.
Lumei looked at Li Tong, and then at Ning Yuan, and went out of the wing room with Shuilian, pulled Shuilian, and walked to the easternmost side of the upper room before leaning over, "What's wrong with you, you are so embarrassed, not to embarrass the girl" "Alas" Shui Lian sighed heavily, "Look at him, he runs to us in the middle of the night, at the beginning, our girl looks like that, like dead wood, he has been here, the girl is obviously a lot more lively, he came and came, but now, what do you mean by him?"
"Also," Lumei also started to worry, "It's always okay, that is, ten days and half a month, at that time, we lived outside the city, sparsely populated, now we move into the capital, he came too often, in case people know" "That's right, he comes in the middle of the night every day, if people know, the girl's reputation The girl is a married person, and it would have attracted people to talk about what you mean by saying that he really has affection for the girl, he should come to the door to propose marriage openly, what is this?"
Shui Lian was angry, Lumei retreated to the kang and sighed, "No, his family and our family, he and the girl I didn't dare to think about it, but I don't think about the girl's meaning, it seems that she has no intention of remarrying." ” "I'll tell you," Shui Lian squeezed to Lumei's side and sat down, "This morning, I heard Mama Wan and Mama Sun talking, saying that someone wants to propose marriage to our girl." ” "Really" Lumei was surprised, and then wrinkled her eyebrows, "I don't know what kind of family it is, our girl is like this, I'm afraid that there is nothing to kiss when I come to the door, I think Sister Xiaoyou is right: like our girl, what do you want, you can't marry someone in order to marry, in fact," Lu Mei paused, "Ning Qiye is still worthy of our girl." ” "I didn't say that I didn't deserve it, I was afraid" Shui Lian didn't say the next words, she was afraid that Ning Qiye would not take a fancy to her girl.
"Sister Shuilian," Lumei's eyes rolled around, "Otherwise, let's beat the side drum for Ning Qiye and find out what he means."
"How to explore" Shuilian's eyes lit up.
"Let me think about it."
Lu Mei put her fingers on her lips, twisted her eyebrows and thought for a moment, "Otherwise, you will send Ning Qiye out later, and then you will pretend to be the best to talk, saying that when our girl gets married, Qiye will not be like this." ” "Words are in a hurry," Shui Lian's face wrinkled, "From the door of the wing room to the door of the moon cave, how can there be a few steps out of the door and you can't say that you are afraid that the girl will listen, that is, three or two sentences, I see," Shui Lian thought about it again, "I told him directly, our girl is going to talk about marriage, let him not come in the future, so as not to ruin the girl's reputation." ” "That's okay" Lu Mei thought about it and nodded in agreement, anyway, the seventh master is also a rough man.
In the side room, Ning Yuan's upper body moved forward slightly, frowning and looking at Li Tong, Li Tong held a bowl of soup, lowered his eyes and slowly took a few sips, put down the bowl, and looked at Ning Yuan with a wry smile, "I said that it was okay, but I was emotional." ” Yesterday just dispersed the flower party, she got a report, had been married into the Jiang family with her as a companion, took care of the two fat powder shop Zhu shopkeeper, when he came back from outside the city, a few boys from the roadside tea shop shot a slingshot, in the horse's eye, was blinded by one eye of the horse, carrying the Zhu shopkeeper, fell into the deep pit on the side of the road, Zhu shopkeeper's head just knocked on a big bluestone, and died of brain collapse on the spot.
In the past, Shopkeeper Zhu also died yesterday, at the same hour, and even the time when she got the reward was exactly the same.
That time, she had just gotten the letter that Aunt Gu was pregnant, and then the news of the death of the shopkeeper Zhu, that day, she sat in the warm spring light, and heard the news of this life, death, joy and sorrow, and her heart felt like ashes, as if it was just yesterday.
She felt that everything had changed, and she hoped that everything had changed, or that the more changes the better.
Two days ago, she specially sent someone to instruct the shopkeeper Zhu not to drink alcohol for the first half month, and not to go near rivers and lakes, or even wells.
Last time, Shopkeeper Zhu was drunk and fell down and drowned while crossing the bridge.
He listened to her, but he died.
With great fear, Li Tong thought of the water lotus, the eldest princess, and A-Niang, which one has changed, and which one may not change.
Under the fear, the only thing she could do was to kneel in front of the Bodhisattva and pray with all her sincerity, but she couldn't figure out what to pray.
"You're like this, it's definitely not okay, there's something you can't tell me" Ning Yuan simply dragged the chair forward, resting his elbows on his legs, and looked at Li Tong's face from the bottom up
