The Buddha Temple is not pure

Finally, the north wind turned into an east wind, and the cold weather turned warm and sunny.

The carp pond in Chasing Yuanting also broke the ice, Ziko was washing clothes by the pond, Xue Suilan came over and covered her back with a dress, Ziko was so scared that she almost fell into the pond.

"Ah, ah, ah, it turned out to be a girl, I was shocked."

"It's not the time when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. What are you doing in such cool clothes?"

Zi Kou pointed to the carp pond: "Miss, look, the pond has broken ice, and today we can put lanterns on."

"I almost forgot, today is the Lantern Festival, right? It must be lively at night, how about taking you out to have fun?"

"Girl, I have to accompany the master and the young master to have dinner at night. I'm afraid I won't be able to get away, and because of the fox demon, every family is closed even during the Spring Festival, let alone the Lantern Festival. They used to be out of the way." Come on, now it’s time to go out twice and never go back home, even relatives dare not leave, life is really aggrieved, everyone complains, if it is not for the support of the family, the shops on the street are probably closed. , The exorcist Taoist priests who were finally invited were also frightened and fled, but I can teach you how to live."

"Hu Xian'er is indeed very harmful." She just agreed casually, no wonder there was no surprise as expected.

"Who says it's not, so girl, let's not go out. If something happens again, I can't explain it to Master and Young Master."

Xintao saw their master and servant talking from a distance, and hurried over, before she could even catch her breath, she said in a panic: "Girl, hurry up and have a look at the front hall, it's very lively, Fourth Master specially made it Let me come and let you know."

Zi Kou said in shock: "Girl, let's go there quickly, maybe something serious happened." She got up, wiped her hands on the apron, and hurried to pull Xue Sui Lan.

Xue Suilan said, "Don't worry, I'm afraid it wasn't because the Duan family sent a betrothal gift, so fourth brother asked me to come over."

"How does Miss Yu know? The Duan family sent a dowry gift, but this dowry gift is serious. Apart from some ordinary things, there are also Jishitang's store deeds and current accounts. The matter is of great importance. Master Jin and Fourth Master can't make a decision. Wait for the girl to pass."

She was full of impatience, and she couldn't make up her mind about what was brought to her mouth: "It's fine if the eldest brother is indecisive, why is the fourth brother like this, okay, I'll go and have a look."

When she came over, Duan Cunxi and Duan Shiqing had already left, leaving only the guys from the Ji family busy counting.

Sitting under the eaves of the corridor, Ji Xuanzhen was flipping through a pile of ledgers piled up under his hands: "Yu'er, come and have a look, I don't think this ledger is fake."

"Fourth brother was joking, how could this be fake."

"I didn't expect Duan Shiqing to give up all 72 Jishitangs in the Eastern Capital City. He bleeds a lot."

"I didn't expect that?" Xue Suilan sneered, "Didn't the fourth brother go over and negotiate for me in person?"

"I just thought that if such a condition was raised, the Duan family would give up. After all, you know what Duan Shiqing's attitude is, but I didn't expect him to agree. Not only did he agree to marry you, but he also agreed to use Ji Shitang as an employee. What kind of ecstasy did you take?"

Master Jin counted the betrothal gifts, and judging by the number of gifts, there were only a few more: "Yu'er, Na Cai, ask for your name, Na Ji, we have made the decision for you, but Na Zheng..." He turned his head and looked at the pile of gifts. The betrothal gift from the hall was very apprehensive, "I want to ask you one last time, have you really decided? After accepting the betrothal gift from the Duan family, I can't go back on my word later."

"It's so good, why should I go back on my word? My brothers hope that I will be better?"

Ji Yuanjin put the letter of appointment in front of her: "This is the letter of appointment, those are the dowry gift and the dowry money, you have to go through it."

"No need." She pushed it away with one hand, "Let's save the application period, send a letter to Duan's family and tell them that it will be on the eighth day of February. I believe they will have no objections."

Master Jin's expression was gloomy: "You have been missing for three years, you just came back not long ago, and now you are going to get married again, brothers feel bad."

"That's right." Fourth Master Xing stroked her head, "It's better to save some time, and the wedding date can be set next year."

"Fourth brother can't bear me?"

"This is not nonsense."

"It can be seen that I am very important to the fourth brother."

"Speaking stupidly, you know best how the fourth brother treated you when you beat him up since childhood."

"In that case, why didn't the fourth brother mention the night before I disappeared after I came back?"

Ji Xuanzhen was stunned: "When you came back, you had already explained the whole story clearly, so what else is there to ask?"

"Really? I just remember that I said that I fell in Zhuanxiangou and was kidnapped by the fox fairy, but I didn't say why I went to Zhuanxiangou. I heard from Zikou that after I disappeared, the fourth brother was very anxious , specifically questioned Zi Kou, and learned that I had been to Dong'an Hall, and I even called the holy lady to torture me for this, but I didn't spit out anything, right? Since there are so many doubts about my disappearance, why didn't the fourth brother check?"

He suddenly came to his senses: "Dong'an hall is not close to Juanxiangou, so I have no reason to doubt anyone."

"Why did the fourth brother think that I went to Tripping Xiangou that night three years ago?"

"Before you came back, I kept guessing that it was probably because you didn't go out for a long time, so you were not very familiar with the streets and alleys of Dongdu, so you went the wrong way. In addition, there were lightning, thunder, and wind and rain that night, let alone you , even if I am in such a situation, it is difficult to guarantee that I will not stumble and fall, and there is nothing difficult to explain, Yuer, what exactly do you want to say?"

Master Jin waved his hands: "Let's all step back." Then he said to Ji Xuanzhen, "Go and do your work first, I'm here."

Ji Xuanzhen didn't know what it meant: "Yu'er hasn't finished talking yet, let her continue."

"It's all over, there's nothing to say, you go, and put the dowry money into the treasury by the way, today is the Shangyuan Festival, and we have to prepare a family feast tonight, don't delay."

He was in a fog, but he had to listen to what the elder brother said, and even though he had doubts, he withdrew.

"What do you mean, big brother?" Xue Suilan seemed to be dissatisfied as he dismissed the person.

"Yu'er, I know you have been wronged, but this matter is not easy to pursue."

Xue Suilan sneered: "What do you mean?"

"Don't worry, listen to me. Although there are many doubts about your disappearance, it is not difficult to guess that Duan Shiqing is because you are retiring from the in-laws with the Zhu family. Let alone the attitude of the holy aunt, the brothers of the Zhu family will definitely not agree. It's not impossible to hold a grudge against you, but the Juanxiangou is an excellent place to destroy corpses. It doesn't matter whether you live or die before you arrive in the Guxiangou. What matters is the thunderstorm in the Guxiangou that night. At the same time, there were twelve thunderbolts in the sky, and Zhu Minke's hand was also injured at that time, so it can be seen that he was there at that time, and he had a motive, so it is not difficult to speculate about the cause and effect."

"What's so difficult?

"The difficulty is your fourth brother. If you think about him, you have to be more sensible. If the young master Zhu is convicted of harming you, what should your fourth brother do? After all, he and the saint have been in love for many years. The wedding is approaching, how do you let him decide?

Besides, it was not the holy aunt's original intention to harm you. She had no choice but to act without authorization, and she didn't even know about it. If you mention it, let her owe you. If there is a chance in the future, she will definitely treat you twice as well. It is better than tearing your face. "

Xue Suilan casually flipped through the account book: "Brother, how do you know that she didn't know? If I said that she was there at the time and knew that when I sank in Chuanxiangou and my life was hanging by a thread, she was afraid of being exposed and would not know it." Save, Duan Shiqing is also desperate, how do you feel?"

"Yu'er, what are you talking about?"

"Brother, don't you believe me?"

"How could this be?"

"So, brother, do you still want to persuade me?"

"..."

"Brother, why don't we each take a step back? I won't tell the truth to the fourth brother, but don't persuade me to forgive. The law of heaven is clear, and the retribution is not good. If one day the holy lady is really imprisoned and cannot get out, please brother Just stop the fourth brother and don't let him make a move, because I'm afraid, with the status of the fourth brother today, maybe I can really pull her out of the abyss, and then I will lose everything."

"Yu'er, what are you planning to do?"

She stood up, arranged her dress, and when spring came, swallows held willows in their mouths, and three or two slender leaves fell, like her eyebrows, neither anger nor anger, neither sad nor happy, but she was hiding the momentum of Lingyun.

She was dressed in a purple Tang dress embroidered with silver and sprinkled with flowers. She was dressed dignifiedly, her shoulders were level, and she walked without shaking or trembling. She was as stable as a Bodhisattva who came out of some temple, not his stubborn, coquettish and addicted sister. ,changed.

"Yu'er, where's that golden mole on your shoulder?"

Xue Suilan paused for a while, then suddenly looked back: "I burnt it with incense."

"Does it hurt?"

Recalling the situation when he was bathed in fire and nirvana in Luotianyan that day, he almost couldn't hold back: "It hurts, it hurts like all the bones and muscles of the whole body melt."

"That mole is ominous, it's good if you burn it."

"Brother, will you protect me?"

Ji Yuanjin was silent, looking at the slightly wet corners of her eyes and finally compromised: "Of course, I only have a younger sister like you, and I will protect you no matter what."

"It's enough to have a big brother."

Duan Shiqing's dowry shocked the entire Eastern Capital.

What kind of handwriting is this to surrender 72 Jishitangs?Since then, the Dongdu medical school has changed dynasties, and the Duan family can no longer control the situation, life and death, and let go of the lifeline of Dongdu they suppressed.

The news was earth-shattering, even though the Duan family didn't want to hide it, and the Ji family didn't want to hide it, but when it got to people's ears, no one dared to believe it.

There are all kinds of ugly words in the streets and alleys, and it is not uncommon to have any weird rumors. The most reliable explanation so far is nothing more than this:

It is said that the girl of the Ji family looks like a fairy, with the beauty of a flying swallow and the face of a beauties, she has mistaken the son of the Duan family.Three years ago, he fell in love at first sight, and Mr. Duan rejected his in-laws with the holy aunt because of her.

This is a legend envied by many people. It is a rare story, full of the charm of talents and beauties. Even the ink in the book seems to be dipped in honey. Maybe only the people in the game know the bitterness of it.

When Zhu Mengzhen heard the news, the porridge bowl that was fed to Zhu Minke's mouth fell when it tipped, blowing up all over the floor.

"What did you say?"

"Girl, what's wrong with you? Everything I said just now is true. It has been spread all over the Eastern Capital. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. Ji Shitang has been surnamed Ji since then."

"Why is Duan Shiqing like this?" She seemed to have lost her soul, and the words she asked were weak.

Fu Ruo didn't know how to explain it, because this was a mystery: "Girl, this is what happened. There are all kinds of rumors in private, it just depends on which one you believe."

"No, those are not the truth, I want to ask Xue Suilan myself."

"Who is Xue Suilan?"

She got up, tucked the quilt for Zhu Min Ke, and said softly: "Although spring is here and the east wind is getting stronger, the face is still cold, so I can serve you young master."

"understood."

Telling her like this is because she doesn't want her to follow, Furuo understands.

Zhu Mengzhen came to Ji's house alone and wanted to see Ji Luoyu, but when Ji Luoyu heard her coming, he claimed that he was sick, but fortunately the fourth master came over: "It's still very cold, why did you come out alone."

The fox-cloak she was wearing was graceful and noble, like a Saibei singer walking out of a painting, with her hands hidden in the rabbit fur warm sleeves, fourth master pulled them out with five fingers clasped, held them in his palms, and rubbed the backs of his hands.

"It's so cold?"

"No matter how cold the weather is, we must rush to congratulate."

"I haven't released the news yet. Why do you all know about it? It's not past noon, and there are wave after wave of people joining in the fun. The congratulatory gifts sent are filling up the west warehouse and the east warehouse, and it's almost impossible to let it go."

She also smiled: "The others are here to join in the fun, but I am not, I am here to congratulate."

"As expected, there is nothing exciting, but the news spread like wildfire, which is really unexpected."

"Mr. Duan is very generous. Stories about talented men and beautiful women spread all over the city in less than half a day. Even the master of the theater has started to arrange plots, saying that he will only speak on the day when Mr. Duan and the girl get married."

"These Wensheng have nothing to do all day long. If there is a disturbance in Dongdu, they will be coaxed up like bees. I am afraid that they will come to me to ask for rewards after they have finished writing."

"If the writing is really good, why not give some rewards?"

"Forget it, they can arrange it however they like. The marriage of Yu'er is very strange inside and out. She refuses to explain it herself, and I don't want to go into it. Since the outside world believes that this is a heaven-sent marriage, let's just let it go." Let them go."

"Strange?" She raised her eyebrows, "How strange?"

"Three years ago, the Duan family came to propose marriage, and Yu'er refused to agree to it. But now, she suddenly agreed. I thought her change of heart was too sudden, and it was a whim of the youngest daughter's family. Unexpectedly, Duan Shiqing's The change is also so fast. That day in Chasing Yuanting, he kept saying that if he married a pre-wife, he would not pay a penny for the dowry. It was really incredible to send it over.”

"Since he came here in person when he was hired, did Fourth Master talk to him? Is his intention for Yu'er false or true? Why did his attitude change so quickly?"

Ji Xuanzhen nodded: "How can we not talk? After sitting down and chatting for a long time, he is diligent and sincere in both words and deeds. , but although he is humble and polite, he is neither humble nor overbearing. He has a certain amount of advances and retreats when he speaks and does things. He is completely different from the bastard and rascal before. I would like to ask you, is there any medicine that can change people's mind within a few days? of?"

Zhu Mengzhen shook his head: "How could there be such a medicine? I'm afraid I got someone's advice and suddenly became enlightened."

"If Duan Shibo didn't conjure up the dream himself, who else could give him advice."

"Fourth Master was joking." Zhu Mengzhen lowered his eyebrows, smiled tactfully, and asked suddenly, "I really don't see any difference between him and usual?"

Fourth Master thought about it carefully: "If you talk about your appearance, it is indeed no different from usual, but I always feel that something is weird, as if something is missing."

"What's missing?"

"I remember that Duan Shiqing and Yu'er were born in the same year, month and day. When they were born, Yu'er had a red-golden mole on his shoulder, and he had a cinnabar mole on the tip of his eyebrow, right?"

"That's right, but I... look at him today with broad eyebrows, a clear breeze and bright moon, it seems that the cinnabar mole has disappeared."

"I don't know if Fourth Master noticed, but the mole on her shoulder is gone."

"I asked about this, and he said it was removed, but the mole on the end of Duan Shiqing's eyebrows should not be removed even with incense, otherwise, even the eyebrows will be gone."

Zhu Mengzhen seems to have guessed the mystery: "The fragrance is not good, but the pen is good."

"Pen? What pen?"

"It's nothing, I said it casually."

When she came out of the house, she went straight to Shewang Ridge. The slush in the mountains melted, and it was muddy deep and shallow, but it was not as ferocious as the heavy rain three years ago, which could bury people's feet in the soil.

Holding the cinnabar pen, the red snake python naturally didn't dare to stop her, and watched her walk into the illusion and came to the shrine.

He wanted to use the opportunity to ask the Tianji Palace, but seeing the records on the shrine, everything is self-explanatory.

Fang Xu, the imperial envoy of the golden pen, made it his own idea to present the vermilion pen left by the former pen-holder Yue Weiyang to the waiter with the lamp, and the waiter with the lamp used the pen to touch the reincarnation mole of the imperial envoy Yu Liuqing, causing the double pens of Dongdu to appear in the world, causing chaos. Therefore, Shi Fangxu, the imperial envoy of the golden pen, was punished, but the vermilion pen left by Yue Weiyang has not yet been recovered.

The words "has not been recovered" hit her deadly spot.

This is both good news and bad news.

Fortunately, the former pen-holder's Zhubi was not taken away by Tianji Palace, but remained in Dongdu, so Duan Linxiang and Zhu Minke may change their fates in their lifetimes.

But the bad thing is, after all, the person holding that vermilion pen is Xue Suilan, so it's hard to handle.

It seems to be a long-term plan. If this can be done, then she doesn't need to make offerings to evil gods to change her fate against the sky. Maybe the fox fairy seat in Mengjue Temple can also be removed, so that she won't have to live on the cusp of the storm all day, worrying about it.

Xue Suilan, Xue Suilan, it turned out that you came up with this idea, no wonder you swore that Duan Shiqing would agree to marry you, since you have tapped Duan Shiqing's reincarnation mole, then the vermilion pen is useless to you, so you might as well borrow it from me. No, I can't say I borrowed it. I was originally the writer of Dongdu, so that vermilion pen should be mine.

Xue Suilan was sitting by the koi pond, feeding the carp, when she sneezed three times in a row, Zi Kou quickly brought a cloak and covered her body: "Miss, be careful."

She grabbed the cloak and put it on half her arm: "I'm fine, someone must have said something about me behind my back, that's why I sneezed."

Zi Kou sneered: "Does the girl still believe this?"

"Why did the holy lady come here just now? Have you inquired about it?"

"Of course, as soon as she left, I went to ask Xintao, the left and right were just here to say congratulations, chatted with fourth master and left."

"Congratulations? The news is fast enough."

"No, Young Master Duan gave the girl such an expensive betrothal gift, which envied the girls in Dongdu. It spread all over the streets and alleys within half a day, and it became a good story that everyone spread. I heard that the theater building was closed. It seemed that I was busy. It's just for the girl and Young Master Duan's story, if she really speaks out in public in the future, the girl will have a good reputation, we didn't have a good reputation before, but now we finally regained our reputation."

Seeing her smug face, Xue Suilan suddenly clapped her hands and said happily, "A theater? Why didn't I think of it before? Go, invite me the gentleman who wrote the playbook, and I'll give them a more exciting story." .”
