A night of violent snowstorms and snow scraped and crushed a lot of large branches in the yard, and the yard was in shambles.In the early morning, the wind and snow stopped, and the layers of dark clouds still covered the sky overhead, as if they were extremely reluctant to leave.Suddenly there was a group of rough little maids in the courtyard, each quietly busy with their errands, and the only sound in the silent yard was the crisp sound of dry branches breaking.After a good night's sleep and a bath and change of clothes, Li Haitang was not in a hurry to have breakfast.She walked out of the house and stood under the veranda to enjoy the snowy scene, as well as the newly sent little maids from various prefectures.This time, the masters of all the provinces have learned wisely, and only sent two little maids to the pavilion, and the old wives and sons did not send them, so as not to be suspected of "inserting eyeliners".Li Haitang glanced around, the little maids in the courtyard were wearing uniform maidservant costumes, combing the same double buns, and even earrings, bracelets and other jewelry were also worn uniformly, and it was difficult to tell which clan and which house they came from from from the costume."
It's so clever to join hands to calculate me."
Li Haitang rubbed his forehead, turned around and went into the house for breakfast.After breakfast, I listened to Yang Yan's grandmother in every detail, and this morning all ethnic groups and mansions sent little maids to express their thoughtful intentions, and gave gifts to Li Haitang to be sure to accept.Li Haitang only glanced at it, and instructed Yang Yanyi to quietly give the gift money to Zhuge Yi to receive.Yang Yan's grandmother agreed and hid the gift money in her sleeve pocket.At the same time, Sister-in-law Li led two richly dressed women to walk in, stooped down and saluted: "Big girl, the third lady of the Li family's Xifu and the fourth lady of the north mansion are here to dress up the eldest girl." ”Li Haitang nodded and looked at the two women.Compared with Mrs.
Mo in Zhongzheng Mansion and Mrs.
Li Yan in Nanfu, the ladies in the West Mansion and the North Mansion have a little worse taste in dressing.The two women respectfully performed the blessing salute and said in unison: "The little woman greets the daughter of Fengxian!"
”"Excuse me!"
Li Haitang raised her little face proudly, and her eyes motioned to Li Yanyan to help the two women up.Sister-in-law Li did not move, bowing her head and saying nothing.Yang also stood quietly beside her, bowing her head the whole time.The two women got up and said in unison, "Thank you for the first daughter." ”After the ceremony, the title also changed from Feng Xiannu to Li Da Girl."
Miss Li, I'll help you go back to your room and put on makeup."
Mrs.
Li San from Xifu stepped forward and stretched out her hands, wanting to help Li Haitang to the bedroom on the second floor."
Stand up, go up with me in turn, and don't make a noise."
Mrs.
Li Si of Beifu instructed the little maids holding new skirts and jewelry to stand in line, glanced at the respectful and solemn little maids, she lifted her skirt and stepped up the ladder, and also went to the bedroom on the second floor.In the bedroom, Li Haitang sat in front of the dresser, letting the two women toss and turn like a toss.She was glad that she had good endurance, otherwise she ......, "Miss Li, you see if you are still dissatisfied, we will help you retouch and retouch." ”"No need."
What's the use of guarding a group of tablets and dressing up beautifully?
Li Haitang was helped up by Mrs.
Li of Xifu to change her clothes, and Mrs.
Li Si was happy to support the maids and had the addiction of showing off her might.Li Haitang looked at it coldly, and she really didn't like the two women who were holding chicken feathers as arrows.It is no wonder that among the four brothers of the Li patriarch, there are many concubines of the third master and the fourth master of Li.The main thing is to marry a stupid wife, and the concubine doesn't need to ask for the permission of the wife at all, and it is up to him to decide how much he wants.A brainless and greedy wife in the main room must have limited power in charge.Therefore, they are often overwhelmed by the favored concubines, and their life in the mansion must not be too pleasant.This time I have a good opportunity to show my face and personally do a big thing to let my husbands see, they are qualified to serve the ancestors as the main wives, and those domineering and charming concubines are not even worthy of carrying shoes for the ancestors of the ancestors.With the intention of suppressing the arrogance of the concubine, the two women worked even harder to please Li Haitang, eager to serve her as a life-saving benefactor.Li Haitang enjoyed all kinds of compliments with a smile on her face throughout the whole process, and even the color of the purple iris painted on her nails was praised as a treasure that is not in the sky or in the ground.was helped out of the pavilion by two women like a moon, and the clean courtyard was already full of people.The eight patriarchs waited for a long time, and even the wives of the eight patriarchs were dressed up to accompany them.Li Haitang respectfully performed the Ten Thousand Blessing Ceremony, listened to the solemn and solemn lectures and instructions of the Li patriarch and Mrs.
Li, and was sent to Yansheng Hall.Yansheng Hall, kneeling in front of the offering table for the ancestors of the eight major families, burning incense and vows, kowtowing and praying, the whole process was completed by the eight patriarchs in person.After the three pillars of incense were burned, the Li patriarch personally took a bowl of water and knelt down to invite Li Haitang to drink, and thanked her for her hard work of fasting and serving her ancestors.Subsequently, led by Patriarch Mo, they quietly exited the main hall of Yansheng Hall in turn.The door is closed, the window sash is closed, the incense is burned, and Li Haitang is the only one in the silent hall who kneels upright on the brocade futon, reciting the "Diamond Sutra" in a soft and light voice.For ten days, she could not eat or drink for ten days, and in addition to the necessary physiological excretion, she had to kneel here and recite Buddhist scriptures for the tablets that were enshrined.One day.Two days.Three days.Four days.…… Day 7.Li Haitang was no longer able to support it, she lay on the ground, her breath was weak, and her voice was hoarse.His heart was pounding irregularly, his ears were buzzing, his eyes were dark, and his vision was blurred.She gasped with the last of her strength, a sound struggling to come out of her thirsty, burning throat.A few days ago, her stomach was so hungry that she retched several times in disgust, and she couldn't even vomit out the sour saliva, and her stomach was still rattling.There is no food to satisfy hunger, and if there is water, you can fill your stomach, but unfortunately this is also a delusion.She was thirsty next to each other, reciting one Buddhist sutra after another.She longed to cut her arm with a knife and quench her thirst with her own blood.However, now that she has survived seven days, she doesn't even have the strength to harm herself.After reading the last word, Li Haitang turned over and lay on her back on the ground with difficulty, she closed her eyes and imagined that she was swimming in the stream."
Water!""
Who gave it to me......
Take a sip of water!
”Whispering and pleading, the blurred vision gradually darkened, and the tired and hungry Li Begonia finally fainted.A secret door in the main hall quietly opened, and a lame figure slowly approached the little girl who was dead on the ground, stopped beside her and stared for a moment, then walked to the table to replace the three pillars of incense that were about to burn in the bronze tripod.After confirming that Li Haitang was the only one in the main hall, the lame man took out an oiled paper bag from his waist and stuffed the two pills inside into his pale and bloodless little mouth.The medicine was astringent and bitter, and Li Haitang, who was in a coma, woke up faintly, swallowed her saliva hard, and found that her mouth was as moist as drinking water, and her hungry stomach was also full."
What's going on?"
Li Haitang still felt weak when she moved her arms, she closed her eyes and kept taking deep breaths to adjust her body.Gradually, the pain from the heart to the limbs and limbs increased, and with each breath, I felt like my whole body was being pricked by countless needles at the same time."
Ah——!
hThe earth-shattering roar that broke through his throat broke the deathly silence of Yanshengtang.When he was young, from the arch that connected the main hall to the apse, more than a dozen figures rushed in.When Li Junshen, who rushed in first, saw Li Haitang lying on the ground spitting blood, the whole person rushed over and picked her up, and roared: "Quick, go and ask the doctor from the hospital to come over!"
