The Buddha Temple is not pure

"Master Jin, I'm going to Pei's mansion to welcome my relatives."

The firecrackers in front of the door startled Li and Le, and the servants and maids covered their ears, but grinned grinningly. It's been a long time since the Ji family has seen a happy event.

The remaining snow in the city was still there, and Master Jin, dressed in a fiery red wedding dress, stepped onto the horse.

Fourth Master Xing was standing at the door in a blue and purple brocade robe, greeted and sent off. It was so lively: "Brother, it's cold and the road is slippery, so be careful."

"understood."

The gift list is in the hands of the second master Qiao, and it is effortless to arrange it up and down. The whole wedding banquet arrangement is also written by the third master Zhuo. When he was busy last night, he got up earlier than anyone else today. For the elder brother's wedding, several brothers It can be said to do my best.

Zhu Mengzhen came here early with Zhu Minke and Zhu Minchen. Seeing that Fourth Master Xing was busy, he didn't say much. He only said hello and was about to enter the door, but Fourth Master Xing held his hand.

"Why didn't Mr. Zhu come over? I heard that he is not in good health a few days ago, but is it true?"

Zhu Mengzhen said sadly: "It's not a serious illness after all, I keep arguing about headaches, but I don't know why, whatever medicine I take doesn't work, and I can't diagnose more serious diseases."

Birth, old age, sickness and death, fortune and misfortune are impermanent. If there is any disease that they can't do anything about, then this disease has really become a terminal disease that cannot be escaped.

"Old Mr. Zhu is down, the Zhu family depends entirely on you. I must have been exhausted recently."

Zhu Mengzhen glanced at Zhu Minke and Zhu Minchen who were behind him: "Ke'er is talented and intelligent, but it's a pity that he seldom puts effort into medical skills. I have more □□□□, and I will definitely be able to shoulder important responsibilities in the future."

"Just don't tire yourself out." Fourth master Xie knew what she expected of Zhu Minke, and also knew that Zhu Minke didn't do much work, so he would have to take some time tomorrow to make this little brother-in-law with his own hands.

"Understood." Zhu Mengzhen's heart was warm, and when he entered the door, his face was also full of joy.

Seeing her smiling brightly, Second Master Qiao joked, "The saint is here, why are you so happy?"

"Look at what Second Lord said, today is Lord Jin's day of great joy, so why not be unhappy." Zhu Mengzhen waved his hand after speaking, and Zhu Minchen and Zhu Minke presented the congratulatory gifts.

The common red ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, stone frog, and blood swallow are fine, but the Huanxi powder is really precious. It is stored in a brocade box, and Zhu Mengzhen holds it in the palm of his hand: "Second master, this is Huanxi powder, which is not very effective. , if you take it when you are critically ill or when you are seriously injured, it may save your life."

Second Master Qiao was stunned for a moment, but didn't go to pick it up immediately, and suddenly frowned: "I wish you all the best, Mister?"

The holy aunt smiled bleakly: "But take the medicine to suppress it, if there is no such slow breath powder, I'm afraid..."

The second master Qiao was very sad, but today is a day of great joy, so it is not good to talk about it in depth. Naturally, he can't say the words of greetings, and only arranges for Zhu Mengzhen to sit down.

After the generals settled down here, there was a commotion at the door, he looked over his head, and it turned out that Duan Cunxi brought the girls from the Duan family over, and he couldn't stop.

Earlier, there was a lot of commotion in the Duan family's mansion because the invitations were sent without consideration of seniority and inferiority. The eldest daughter cannot accommodate the fourth girl.

They were all driven here in sedan chairs, only the four girls came here on horseback, and they were not together at the ceremony. Duan Youyi notified the other sisters to prepare things, but Duan Henxi didn't have them. She seemed to be used to it. own gift.

Duan Youyi also didn't care about other people's comments, saying that the Duan family was not in harmony, but there was a difference in the status of the concubines, so Duan Henxi was not included, so there is nothing to make a fuss about.

Second Master Qiao was not that kind of approachable character, he didn't show a smile for a long while when he was greeted and sent off, but his eyebrows and eyes were crooked when he saw Duan Henxi, which was enough face.

But more than that, when Duan Cunxi and Duan Youyi sent the Duan family sisters a congratulatory gift, he casually summoned the servants and said, "Go, settle it properly."

The boy was in a dilemma: "But second master, haven't you passed the gift list yet?"

"No need."

The simple three words made Duan Cunxi and Duan Youyi extremely embarrassed.

Second Master Qiao pretended not to know, and after a while pretended to come back to his senses, he said: "Aunt Duan is already rewarded for coming, how can I bother you to prepare those unnecessary congratulatory gifts, it seems that the relationship between our two families is not close."

Duan Cunxi knew that his son Xie Chengxiu had committed sins before, and she, the abandoned concubine of the palace, was not very clever in the eyes of the Ji family. Although the Ji family did not pursue Zikou's matter, there was a gap after all, so it was hard to say anything. Reminding: "Since you call me aunt, as an elder, I have to remind you a few words, relationship is relationship, rules are rules, don't mess up the order."

"My Ji family's family style is different from that of the Duan family. It is rare to talk about respect and inferiority. The entire family is used to it. If any servant offends my aunt by improper handling of affairs today, I hope my aunt will be large. Don't worry about it." .”

Duan Youyi couldn't hold back the sarcasm, how could Duan Cunxi not hear it?But it would be a joke to continue arguing, so she sat down.

When Duan Henxi came over, Second Master Qiao felt much more at ease. He not only received the congratulatory gift with his own hands, but also picked up a pen and included it in the gift list. Duan Henxi's handwriting was different from other people's.

"Second Master's handwriting is good." She joked.

"Really?" Second Master raised his eyebrows, "Can I go to your Jishitang to be a pharmacist?"

"Then we, Jishitang, can't afford it."

"Please don't ask me too much, not too much, just put in coins and pure silk, no more than five taels."

As soon as these words came out, Duan Henxi's smile faded away, there was a saying in the ancient Zhou etiquette, if you marry a son and a wife, you can put in coins and silk, there is no more than five taels, this is asking her for a dowry.

Although it was a joke, but she heard the mystery, put her hands on her chest, and said with a sly smile: "Then I'm afraid I will wrong the second master, I have no father or mother, I am neither a concubine nor an elder, it doesn't matter if I come from a bad background, but I have a bad temper It's not good either, this face is not the one that stands out among girls, I'm afraid it will wrong the second master in the future."

Second Master Qiao smiled, with a red cloth ceremony table in between, he still leaned his head towards it, and said in a low voice, "Don't say that you seem to have got a bargain, you know that I plan carefully and never lose money. "

If an ordinary girl was treated like this, she would have blushed long ago, but Duan Henxi did the opposite. She didn't speak like she was going to marry, as if she was going to marry a wife. The second master is not an easy-going lamp either.

As Mrs. Ji said back then, neither of them was considerate, but they hit it off right away.

The guests arrived one after another. At this time, Lord Jin brought his new wife back, and the sound of gongs and drums overturned the Ji family's mansion again.

The guests stood up to greet them one after another, and they all showed joy when they saw the bride of Fengguan Xiapei enter the mansion respectfully.

In an ordinary family, there would definitely be a marriage, but with Master Jin's status, no one dared to be presumptuous. Zhu Minke was still a child at heart, and wanted to drag Zhu Minchen to make a bride, but was stopped by Zhu Mengzhen.

"Don't be so presumptuous in Ji's house, have you forgotten what you have done? Be quiet."

Zhu Minke just gave up, but he couldn't be more interested: "Hey, you said that the bride is a lady from a great family. I see her with a hunched back, walking like a bastard, and with a horoscope, wanting to lose her figure." If you want to look good, you don't have a good manner, sister, I didn't say that your future sister-in-law is really not very good."

After he reminded, Zhu Mengzhen realized something was wrong.

Pei Mengqiang is a lady of every family, the jewel in the palm of Mr. Pei, who has been well-clothed and well-fed since she was a child, and is also controlled by strict family regulations. She can't be in such a loose state, let alone her big wedding today.

His eyes swept over the faces of the Pei family. Mother Pei felt sad for marrying a daughter, and sat in the high hall, not hiding her sympathy. Mr. Pei frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

strange.

Fourth Master Xing also found it strange. He flipped through the charter and asked the butler beside him: "Didn't the Pei family give out two dowries? One is Ziko, and who else is there?"

The housekeeper said: "There is also a maid named Xu Nu, but recently Master Jin went to pick up the bride, and only Zi Kou followed and asked Xu Nu, but no one knew her whereabouts." Then he leaned into his ear and said, "But that's fine too. The daughter-in-law of Quan Sheng's family went to inquire about it, and they all said that Xu Nu was a scumbag who didn't know good or bad. Mr. Pei was afraid that the young lady would be bullied in our house, so he arranged for him. Xu then asked about Master Jin's personality , I think my uncle is reliable, so I took it down again."

"I hope so." The fourth master felt uneasy, but he didn't investigate further, after all, he was just a maid.

Old man Ji Boqian hadn't seen him for a few years, his beard and hair were gray, and he was trembling when he walked up the high hall, so he had to be supported by others, but seeing his son's wedding and a newcomer in the mansion, he was so happy that his old black and yellow face was flushed. A little happy.

The big ceremony must be done in the ancestral hall, which enshrines Mrs. Ji's spiritual tablet, which is the long-cherished wish of Mrs. Ji.

The guests also passed away. Although the dark Zhuang Su's ancestral hall was decorated with red silk wedding candles, it still gave people a sense of silence. They didn't have fun outside, and it was a little more depressing, so it naturally quieted down.

Worshiping to heaven and earth first, then to the high hall, the bride was trembling all the time during the salute, only Master Jin who was beside her could see it.

When the husband and wife were praying to each other, Lord Jin put his hand on hers calmly, and comforted him, "Are you afraid?"

Covered with a red hijab, the bride didn't know how to react, but finally stopped trembling.

From the moment he entered the door to the present, it's not that he hasn't heard people talking about the bride, but it's his wife after all, so what can he do, he still has to protect her.

He wanted to say a few more words of comfort, but the ceremony was completed, so he had no choice but to get up.

Zi Kou sent the bride into the bridal chamber.

He was drinking with him outside, and it was getting late when he was pushing glasses and changing glasses, and the bridal chamber could not be seen, and people left one after another.

After a busy day, it was finally quieter.

Ji Yuanjin is a measured person, and he didn't even indulge too much at his own wedding banquet. He only drank until he was a little tipsy, and everyone who respected him would dismiss him. I know that he is rigid and orderly, so the guests Young and old, regardless of high or low, it is not difficult.

As a result, when he finally approached the bridal chamber, he was still sober and clean. He was not like an ordinary groom. He was already reeking of alcohol and drunk like mud during the wedding night in the bridal chamber. His steps were not messy, and when he opened the door, he was calm as usual. No disappointment.

The bride was sitting on the edge of the bed, the red candles in the room flickered on and off, and the twisted black smoke fluttered like threads.

so quiet.

He picked up Yu Ruyi, put it under the tassels of the red hijab, and said, "Miss Pei, I've offended you."

To be reasonable, although the two of them have not married yet, this is already her wife, so there is no need to be so humble, but he has always been like this, and he has never lost his dignity in speaking and doing things. He is the most well-behaved person in the Ji family.

Second Master Qiao was out, counting the presents, and just after sending away the Zhu family, the Duan family came over again, but there was no Duan Henxi, Duan Henxi was so busy, halfway through the meal, he was called away by Ji Shitang's clerk, He said that there was something wrong with the account, so he didn't wait for the gift in return.

In this way, the second master Qiao had to deal with the matter, and he would inevitably have to talk to Duan Cunxi, Duan Youyi and others.

It was getting late, and he was extremely tired. He was really not in the mood, and his eyelids drooped drowsily. He didn't wake up until there was a scream outside the door.

Ji's house is bustling again.

I don't know who yelled out his throat. The sound could not be uttered unless he was hit by a knife and an arrow, but immediately after that, there was another cry: "Ghost! Ghost!"

ghost?It's as if there are no rules in the underworld. The night of the big wedding is also a good day and auspicious day given by a fortune teller. Where did the ghost come from?

Zhu Minke fell to the ground, trembling all over, his legs were weak, his eyes were cracked, and his eyes were staring straight ahead. Zhu Mengzhen was also dumbfounded beside him, and forgot to help him up.

Duan Cunxi was the closest to the door, and when he was looking forward to his head coming over, he was also very frightened, pointed at the person outside the door, and gasped: "Ghost." live.

Second Master Qiao frowned, put down the gift slip in his hand, rolled up his sleeves and walked out: "Who dares to choose today to make trouble!"

Ji Yunzhuo also came out when he heard the commotion, followed by a few guys.

"Third brother, what happened?"

Ji Xuanzhen also got out of the chores, put down his sleeves and rushed out the door.

"Someone shouted that I saw a ghost, let me go and see what's going on?"

With the current status of the Ji family in the Eastern Capital, gods and ghosts will go around the road, who would dare to take the initiative to come to pick quarrels?

Ji Xuanzhen laughed, he didn't expect that when the wedding banquet was over, there would be a good show to watch: "Really, I'm going to meet that ghost."

The sky was gloomy, and the red lanterns outside the door were dazzling. Ji Luoyu stood there in very clean clothes, neither frowning nor smiling, not speaking or moving, really like a female ghost who had returned from her soul.

She looked at Zhu Minke who fell on the ground with empty eyes, and her voice was very ethereal and ethereal when she spoke.

"Isn't this Mr. Zhu, what's wrong with your leg? I obviously have a name and a surname, why do you call me... ghost?"

Second Master Qiao froze there, unable to hold back a word for a long time, Third Master Zhuo was happy and sad for a while, and finally asked, "Is it Yu'er?"

Ji Xuanzhen rushed out directly, came to Ji Luoyu's side and looked carefully: "Yu'er, is it you?" Tears almost fell out as he spoke.

Zhu Mengzhen said: "Fourth Master, don't get so close to her, be careful, be careful..."

"Be careful, she is my own sister!"

"No, the pre-girl is dead, it's impossible to be alive."

Fourth Master turned his head, Ling Ran looked at her: "Why are you so sure? You haven't seen it with your own eyes."

Ji Luoyu tilted his head and smiled: "Fourth brother, long time no see."

The voice and smile have not changed, who is not his sister, Ji Xuanzhen is ecstatic, hugging her in his arms, the warm body temperature and moist breathing all prove that this is a person, normal People are not ghosts.

"I knew you were still alive, just come back, just come back, the fourth brother Qilihuatian is for you, and no one has touched your room."

Second Master Qiao also rushed out, looking Ji Luoyu up and down: "Yu'er, what's going on? Where have you been for so long? Let us find it easier."

Third Master Zhuo laughed and cried, "Come back quickly, follow me to see father, he has been waiting for you for a long time."

Ji Luoyu just came back, he couldn't bear to tell the news of his mother's death, he just wanted to tell his father the good news.

Zhu Mengzhen shook his head desperately: "Impossible, impossible, how could he still be alive?"

Duan Cunxi took a breath, and looked at Ji Luoyu seriously. This girl is really as beautiful as the one in the painting, no, it's more exaggerated than the one in the painting. No wonder Xie Chengxiu can't forget her and misses her like crazy.

But what she didn't know was that Xie Chengxiu's life was also ruined by her.

Duan Shiqing pretended to be a rich and idle person for a day, no matter how fierce his aunt was fighting with others, he just took it as nothing to do with it, and wanted to leave after giving gifts and dinner, but he didn't want to encounter such a thing when he was about to leave , and now he opened his mouth wide, still analyzing the true and the false.

"Ji Luoyu? How is it possible?"

At that time, Ji Luoyu fell into the Zhuanxian ditch. Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, but because of his reluctance to save him, there were no talents. The white spot also sank into the abyss along with him. Not only him, but also the brothers of the Zhu family saw it , so the two had a discussion.

No one said anything, just pretend it never happened.

But now, Ji Luoyu came back and stood in front of him intact, how could it be possible?

"Are you a human or a ghost!"

Without waiting for Ji Luoyu's answer, he received a few sharp looks from the brothers of the Ji family, and then fell silent.

Mr. Ji also heard the news, and rushed here in a hurry, even though his legs were not very flexible, he still had to come here on crutches: "Where is my son, where is my son?"

"Father." Ji Luoyu stood inside the door, looking at him with a smile, "How are you doing recently?"

Seeing that the old man's eyes that were originally piercing and radiant at the moment were devoid of energy, and his legs and feet didn't seem to be working well, she felt very uncomfortable.

Mr. Ji couldn't bear it any longer, two turbid tears came out of his eyes, and the old hand rested on her shoulder, and it felt so real: "It's really a premonition, where have you been for so long? Kill me, the character tester said you were still alive, I thought he was farting, I didn't expect you to be really alive, I finally waited for you to come back in my lifetime."

The old man never paid attention to his words, but he made the elder brothers laugh.

"Tell dad quickly, where have you been all these years, and why did you come back now?"

As soon as the words fell, Ji Luoyu was about to start performing, but he didn't want to hear another scream from the East Courtyard.

It's not difficult to hear that the person who screamed was Lord Jin, and the direction was where the flowers and candles were in his bridal chamber, followed by a woman's crying, shrill and hoarse, which made people puzzled.

Master Jin always cares about his dignity first in everything he does. He has never yelled like this before. What's more, tonight is his big wedding, so he won't be so unruly.

"What happened, big brother?"

The three brothers looked at each other vigilantly, and rushed over there at the same time.

Only Ji Luoyu was not in a hurry, and the corners of his mouth were full of planning and confidence. Mr. Ji Boqian took her hand and said, "Yu'er, let's go, you can go and have a look with dad."

But she broke away her hand and said: "Father, you go ahead, I still have to wait for someone here."

"Who is it?"

"My sister-in-law."

The old man was stunned: "Your sister-in-law, hasn't she already been sent to the bridal chamber!"
