Chapter 11 Red Top Merchant (7-2)

At this time, Xueyan had already arrived; Xiao Jiaji also came with him.Hu Xueyan is familiar with Yiqing's second child, but it's the first time he and Ajin have met, but at this time, he has no time to ask in detail, and because there are strangers, he must be extra calm, so as not to make "family ugliness" public, so he just nodded and asked calmly: "Why are you two here?" "We met." Grandma Qigu replied, "If you have something to say, go inside." After entering the living room, she introduced A Jin to Hu Xueyan.The words were going to be important, but it was not appropriate for Suxiang and Ah Xiang to hear them; so she asked to talk to Hu Xueyan alone.

"I know where Sister Aqiao went. It's in Fahua Town, a nunnery. It's not too late. I'm going to look for her now. I think," Grandma Qigu said hesitantly, "Sister Ajin and I have to go. Go alone; you shouldn't meet her." Hu Xueyan was puzzled, "What's going on?" He asked, "Why do you know her whereabouts again? What happened to Sister Ajin?" "I can't go into details at this time. Uncle, you can just arrange for us to go to Fahua." "The area around Fahua is full of Huai troops from Anqing. I don't know if it's better to go or not!" "It doesn't matter!" Xiao Jiaji said, "I'll go there."

"Excellent! It's best for you to go." Grandma Qigu said happily; because Xiao Jiaji knew the Huai army leader very well, it must be very convenient to go here. "Seventh sister, I think I should go." Hu Xueyan said, "It doesn't matter if we don't meet, at least let her know that I don't care about her. What do you think?" "I'm afraid that when you meet, you will quarrel and the situation will end badly. Since my uncle said so, it doesn't matter if you go." When we arrived in Defahua Town, it was dusk.Xiao Jiaji went to find a battalion officer under the general of the Huai Army, Cheng Jiaqi, whose surname was Zhu. after all.

"Okay, okay! I'll lead the way." Lao Hu said, "The three of you, please follow me." So facing the moonlight, he went east; after walking not far, he turned into an alley, and there was a place at the bottom of the alley. There is a whitewashed wall in the house, the flowers and trees are flourishing inside the wall, the crescent moon shimmers, and the shadows are indistinct; the scented wind passes by, and there is a strong fragrance of "evening scent". Floating, with an indescribable feeling of fullness. This feeling was especially felt by Xiao Jiaji, and he couldn't help asking: "What kind of place is this?"

"Here?" Dibao replied, "It's Baiyi Nunnery. Come at night, you have to go through the side door." The side door is a thick wooden door, above which there is an unnoticed oblate iron ring; the dibao stretched out his hand and pulled it twice, only to hear the sound of "clang, clang".Soon, footsteps were heard, and then the door opened a little, and someone asked, "Who is that?" "Xiaoyin, it's me!" "Oh!" the little voice inside the door asked: "Old Hu, what are you doing here?" "Did you see any guests?" Dibao pointed to the people behind and said, "You told Master Chen that it was me. who brought it."

The door opened with a bang.Where the light shines, Xiaoyin is a girl with hanging hair in secular dress; wait for the guests to enter the door, close the door; then walk forward without saying a word, cross a flower path, cross two corridors, and arrive at a Zen room, It seemed to be a place for guests; she stopped and looked at Di Bao Lao Hu. Old Hu hesitated a little, "Master!" He bent down and asked, "Should I sit here with you all the time?" What's the point?That will always be done naturally.So Lao Hu whispered a few words to Xiaoyin; then motioned Hu Xueyan to follow Xiaoyin.

Through the meditation room, there is a large courtyard: around the corridor to the west, you can see the shadows of people and flowers reflected on the white powder wall; there is also the shadow of a cat, with its back arched, "calling spring" on the east roof.Xiao Jiaji gently bumped Hu Xueyan with his elbow, and at the same time he was saying: "'The winding path leads to a secluded place, and the meditation room is deep in flowers and trees'!" Hu Xueyan also saw something strange about this Baiyi Nunnery.But Xiao Jiaji's behavior was close to frivolity; it was not the way of worshiping Buddha, so he coughed and signaled him to be careful.

So he silently followed Xiaoyin into another courtyard, a courtyard of trees, three jacarandas, and the fragrance of sandalwood flowers, all mixed together; Xiao Jiaji couldn't help but praise: "What an elegant place!" "Please sit inside." Xiaoyin opened the door curtain to keep the guests away, "I'll invite Master Chen." After she finished speaking, she let herself go. The two people entered the room and saw that there was a white porcelain Guanyin on the top of the room; a row of natural cypress chairs on the east; a huge wooden couch on the west, covered with Shu brocade cotton mats.The flowers in the vase are blooming, the incense is wafting, and it is accompanied by a guqin, which is elegantly arranged; but all of this is not as good as a horizontal drape hanging above the wooden couch, which attracts Xiao Jiaji's attention.

"Mr. Hu!" Xiao Jiaji looked a little excited, "Look!" There are three poems on the horizontal drape; Hu Xueyan finally read the sentence: Leisurely knocking on the Zen Pass to visit Su'e, the altar of medicine is covered with pineapple, and a garden of osmanthus welcomes people Falling, the wall is full of books and offerings to Buddha; I should be ashamed of Song Yu for writing Fu, and Nian Huaqing is with Vimalakirti.The heart of dust is gone here, and the front edge of fine taste is always the devil! According to the old legend, Chang'e flew to the moon, and now she knocks on the cloud house and locks Siluo. The mystery of talent should not be let go, and Sun Chuo is in love with me; who is divided into Upasaka?Waiting to realize the three vehicles Aguma.When will Yipu set up food together, and send poetry demons to cool the world.

There are a lot of laughs on the group flower list, Zili Yunfang lives today.Your self-pity is the only way to stay. I once hit the festival and listened to the singing;Decorate the chrysanthemums under the fence in the autumn light, and devote your thoughts to the Zen demon. Hu Xueyan is not as good as Xiao Jiaji in terms of writing and ink, so I don't know who Song Yu and Sun Chuo are?I don't know that Xuanji refers to Yu Xuanji, a female Taoist priest from the Tang Dynasty.Those citations in the Buddhist scriptures are inexplicable.However, the tone in the poem is not like that of a female monk with strict discipline, but it can be seen.So he asked in astonishment, "What kind of hall is this?" "Look at it." Xiao Jiaji replied softly, "This Master Liaochen is either from Jiaxing or from Kunshan; otherwise, he is Zhenze or Shengze."

Hu Xueyan does not know what is different about the nuns in Kunshan; but the nuns in Jiaxing have personally learned.The customs of Zhenze and Shengze, when he was in Wujiang Tongli, he also heard people say that these two places are rich in silk, the place is rich, and the customs are extravagant.Shengze pays attention to banquets in nunneries, and a table of vegetarian banquets is more expensive than Yanyan dishes; it is said that it is seasoned with fat chicken and high-quality ham, so it is delicious.The cooking of Zhenze Nunnery is also famous, with both meat and vegetables, which is not inferior to Wuxi's boat dishes.Of course, in addition to delicious food, there are also delicious beauty. Reminiscing in this way, when I first met Lao Hu and said that there was "no inconvenience" in visiting Bai Qingan at night, I thought of it all the way to the scene in front of me. I felt that Xiao Jiaji's opinion was confirmed everywhere, so I became curious and eager to take a look. What does Liaochen look like?Xiao Jiaji seemed calmer than him, "Mr. Hu," he said, "I'm afraid I made a mistake! Sister Aqiao won't be here." "How did you see that?" "Here, where is the place where Zhu Fa practices?" Hu Xueyan was about to answer when he caught a glimpse of a white gauze lantern approaching slowly outside the glass window, so he kept silent and got up to wait; when the door curtain was opened, he saw Xiaoyin first and Chen Chen for the second time. is a monk. Of course, she is not dressed in a purely secular way. She has never "combed her hair in three locks and dressed in two." Her hair is shoulder-length, and she is wearing a round-necked gown; It is made of shiny black soft satin, not to mention the narrow waist and sleeves, so it is cut so well. Looking at her face, she doesn't look like a monk. Although she hasn't applied powder, she has applied vermilion; her skin is already fair, and there is no need to apply powder.Especially those eyes, at first glance they look like water-cut pupils, but after looking at them again, you will know that there is no love for love. Such a person should not be too prudent and cautious, Hu Xueyan put his palms together with a smile, and made a questioning question: "But Master Chen?" "I am Liaochen. The donor's name?" "My aunt. The surname is Xiao." So Liaochen saluted and invited the "almsgiver" to take a seat; she herself sat cross-legged on the water couch to accompany her, asking why she came. "I came here to see the head teacher. I heard the nonsense of the old Dibao that Bao'an is actually headed by the dust teacher. If you have a small question, please let me, my brother Xiao, tell me!" Xiao Jiaji nodded, not talking about the purpose of coming, but first Asked: "I heard Master Chen's accent is Zhenze?" Liao Chen blushed: "Yes." "These three poems," Xiao Jiaji pointed upwards at her, "very good!" "It's also the three benefactors, who are in a moment of elegance; those who talk crazy, what can they do!" Saying this, Liao Chen smiled slightly, " Xiao benefactor lived in Zhenze?" "Yes. I lived there for more than a year; I was a child at that time and didn't understand anything." "Does that mean you understand everything now?" Such a blunt rhetorical question is a bit aggressive; Xiao Jiaji is not a weak person, he will not be difficult to deal with, and he replied calmly: "I don't understand it very well, I will learn it another day. I have something today, and I have to invite Master Chen to be sure." Do me a favor." "Heavy words! Please tell me, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you much." "As long as you are willing to help, it is just a matter of one sentence."Xiao Jiaji asked: "Baiyi Nunnery has a guest today; he came to ask the head teacher to take him in. This guest is busy with housework and can't think about it for a while. Maybe she told the head teacher to hide her whereabouts for her. If so, She will kill Baiyi An!" Liaochen's color changed, showing a frightened look; he looked at this, then at that, finally nodded and said, "Yes. But is this benefactor Hu's family?" Sure enough, here, once the news that I was pursuing with all my strength was confirmed, I was at a loss.Xiao Jiasudden and Hu Xueyan looked at each other and remained silent; in the exchange of glances, they raised the same question: what is the purpose of sister Aqiao's dedication to this Baiyi nunnery? If it is for practice, it is just like Xiao Jiaji said: "Here, where is the place for Zhu Fa to practice?" If it is not for practice, then it is not Yang Jimo, Sister Aqiao is another person.At this level, one cannot make a decision without first understanding it; this level needs to be understood, but one does not know how to proceed. Finally it was Hu Xueyan who made a decision: "Master Liaochen, I would like to invite this younger brother Xiao to meet with my family first. I don't know if it's okay?" "What's wrong? This is the best. However, I have to ask her first." Since Liao Chen agreed with Xiao Jiaji's meeting with Sister Aqiao, it can be guessed that the so-called "Ask her" is actually to persuade her .Anyway, as long as Liaochen is willing to help, they will definitely be able to meet each other. Hu Xueyan and Xiao Jiaji have nothing to say and are willing to wait quietly.After waiting for Chen to leave, Xiao Jiaji asked, "Mr. Hu, what should I say when I met Sister Aqiao?" "I'm just wondering," Hu Xueyan answered irrelevantly, "What kind of place is this place? Could it be that Ah Jin doesn't know anything about it?" "I don't have the time to pursue this question now. Mr. Hu, what if you just said that I met Sister Aqiao?" "You don't need to say anything, just ask her, what's the plan? After asking clearly, go back and discuss it with your wife." The place where I met Sister Aqiao was the yard where the head teacher Tai Yangjing lived; the furnishings were not comparable to Chen's house, but they were also more exquisite than other nunneries. It can be seen that Baiyi nunnery is quite rich, if it is not for the large amount of real estate , you can collect rent and interest on a regular basis, that is, you will have a wealth of incense income. Sister Aqiao looked haggard, and her eye circles were red when she saw Xiao Jiaji; after greeting her, she asked straight to the point: "Sister Aqiao, what did you think and came here?" "I wanted to come here a long time ago. Being a man is boring , repair the afterlife." That is to say, her original intention was to become a monk; the Xiao family suddenly asked: "Have you been here before?" "No." Afraid that the walls have ears, Xiao Jiaji couldn't speak clearly; after thinking about it for a while, he remembered Hu Xueyan's question, and then asked, "Where is Ah Jin? Has she been here?" This means to ask, if Ah Jin has been here, of course he knows the situation here, Didn't I tell you? Sister Aqiao shook her head: "Not at all." " "That's no wonder!" The only thing I could say was this; and Sister Aqiao seemed to understand, and sighed silently, as if she had a lot of things to say that she couldn't speak freely. "How about now?" Xiao Jiaji asked, "You always have a plan." "I——" Sister Aqiao said, "I'll live here first. Make plans slowly." "Alright." Xiao Jiaji said, "Tomorrow, my wife will come to see you." "No!" Sister Aqiao said resolutely, "Please don't come." This is very strange!There must be a reason for seeing a male guest like myself who has no deep relationship with him, but he is unwilling to meet Grandma Qigu, who has a good relationship with Xiang, and her tone is decisive. His thoughts are quick, and his thoughts are wide and deep; therefore, he was extra cautious in these places, thought for a while and said: "Ah Qiaoqi, I know that you and my teacher have always had a good relationship; what you said, I will go back Isn't it true?" "Why can't you tell the truth?" "Then, my mistress asked me: Why doesn't she want me to go? How can I answer her?" Asked this, sister Aqiao had a resentful expression on her face; "My lay relatives and friends are all cut off!" She said, "So don't let her come to see me; I won't see you when she comes." Her tone became more and more decisive, coupled with her expression, she seemed to have an indissoluble grudge with Grandma Qigu.Xiao Jiaji was terrified; but he was more cautious in speaking. "Sister Aqiao," he explored the truth in a circumstantial way: "Aren't I also a layman?" This question was to catch an unexplainable loophole in her words.Her face was cloudy and uncertain for a long time, and she finally got an answer: "Master Xiao, to be honest, I am afraid of your mistress. She is powerful; I can't handle her. To be honest, being a person is tasteless and discouraging, that is, Because of this, a good friend who thinks he is a heart-to-heart, knows how to double-decker and help others to plot against me. The real heart is so cold! Master Xiao, you must be surprised by this, and you must not believe it; I think, I am in my thirties, and I have seen all kinds of worlds, so I can't even see the good and the bad, so I wronged your mistress for no reason. Your mistress, you are really——" She Shaking his head, he refused to continue. These words shocked Xiao Jiaji!He really didn't understand, and couldn't accept her harsh criticism of Qigu's grandma, so he was stunned for a while before saying, "What is Miss Aqiao doing? I really can't figure it out! Please tell me. If it's Mrs. No, we are juniors, so of course we dare not say anything; but there is right and wrong in our stomachs." "If, Young Master Xiao, you are willing to swear in front of the Bodhisattva that you will only keep your words in your stomach; I will tell you." "You mean, you can't tell my master, my wife?" "correct." "Okay! I swear: If Sister Aqiao told me, I would tell my master and wife, and tell me that the sky will be struck by lightning." Sister Aqiao nodded to express her satisfaction; then said: "Your mistress is really called 'being a mistress and a ghost'——." Starting with this sloppy criticism, Ah Qiao recounted the words that Grandma Qigu persuaded her several times, "narrating and discussing". According to her opinion, it was Grandma Qigu who deliberately wanted to break up her marriage with Hu Xueyan. My aunt persuaded her to be aggrieved, and she officially became the concubine of the Hu family at the first ceremony. It seemed well intentioned, but it was actually hypocritical, because she knew that she would never do it, so she just said it like this, so that she was forced to go to court. Regarding Hu Xueyan, Qigu's grandma repeatedly said in front of her that he was "slick" and "unsexy, love the other when you see one"; it sounded like scolding Hu Xueyan but actually helped him. "Master Xiao, think about it, your mistress says 'little uncle' and shuts up 'little uncle', she respects him like a bodhisattva. Even if he is really 'sly' and 'unsexy', how can you say it?" Him?" Sister Aqiao was very excited when she said this, "I thought she was born straightforward, and she was really complaining for me, so there is nothing to say.Later, the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became. After thinking about it back and forth, I realized what she meant. It was nothing more than saying that Mr. Hu is not a human being, so there is no need to follow him anymore! " It is not unreasonable to hear her accusations against Grandma Qigu.But the more he felt that she was reasonable, the more sad he felt; because Xiao Jiaji respected and loved his mistress like a younger brother is to an elder sister.For many years, I have had a perfect impression of being happy, honest, warm-hearted, and generous in my mind. At this time, I seem to have found a broken heart. Why doesn't it make people feel sad? Therefore, he did not say a word.On the one hand, he felt that it was inappropriate to comfort Sister Aqiao or to defend Grandma Qigu; on the other hand, he was so frustrated that he didn't bother to say anything. Seeing Xiao Jiaji's face, Hu Xueyan was startled; he seemed to be suffering from an illness.Why did you have such an expression that seemed to be greatly stimulated when you met Sister Aqiao once?It's surprising and inexplicable, but it's inconvenient to ask in depth; only one question: "Have you met?" "I've seen it. We thank Mrs. Chen, let's say goodbye!" Liao Chen became very calm again, and she didn't mention Sister Aqiao, but graciously invited Hu Xueyan and Xiao Jiaji to come again to "rejoice".Why do you invite the male benefactor to come and rejoice in the aunt's nunnery?It sounds strange to hear this; it's just that she has no time to distinguish between her words.However, Hu Xueyan never ignores the festivals of human relations and entertainment. Thinking of something to do, he immediately said: "Excuse me, where is the fate book?" "You don't have to be polite!" Hu Xueyan had already discovered that the yellow-covered fate book was hanging on the wall, so he took it off casually, and said to Xiao Jiaji, "Please write it down, and write it down for a hundred taels of silver." "Too much!" Liao Chen said :'If it is for Baojuan to live with us, so much to write, then there is no need!The monks are supported by the ten directions, and they also make offerings to the ten directions; there is no need for Hu benefactors to bother. " "That's two different things." Xiao Jiaji stepped out of his range and replied instead: "Everyone does what he wants." Then, Xiao Jiaji wrote the fate book with the ready-made pen and inkstone; Hu Xueyan took a piece of one hundred taels of silver, put it on the table together in the fate book, and then left the nunnery. After returning to the camp, I thanked Zhu Guandai, and was still sent back to Shanghai by the original escort.He galloped all the way and had no time to talk. When he arrived in the downtown area, Xiao Jiaji reined in his horse and said, "Mr. Hu, let's go to your house and talk in detail." So he sent away the Ma Bian and went to the place where Hu Xueyan and sister Aqiao lived together.The powder dowry still smells good, and the mirror is as bright as yesterday; but it does not have a sense of desolation; Hu Xueyan changed a place and closed the door in his study for a long time. After hearing Xiao Jiaji's retelling of sister Aqiao's indignation, Hu Xueyan knew why he had such a painful expression.Of course, Hu Xueyan is also very sad; ever since he met Grandma Qigu, he has never heard anyone criticize her so harshly. Now, for himself, she has become a sinister villain in Sister Aqiao's mouth. Think about it I'm really sorry for Grandma Qigu. "Mr. Hu," Xiao Jiaji asked, following a sentence that he had been thinking about all the way, "Is my teacher's wife really playing tricks on purpose as Sister Aqiao said?" "Yes." Hu Xueyan nodded, "That's because she was too enthusiastic. Sister Aqiao's words are mostly correct; there is only one thing she was wrong about. Your teacher's wife is really planning for her by doing this." Then Hu Xueyan explained to Grandma Qigu that she was really making a lifelong plan for Sister Aqiao. Since she didn't want to be a side room, it's better to break up and choose someone.Although he didn't know that Grandma Qigu intended to match Mrs. Zhang with Mrs. Zhang, but he believed that with Grandma Qigu's enthusiasm towards others, she would definitely find a suitable home for Sister Aqiao. Xiao Jiaji was completely able to accept this explanation; it could even be said that what he hoped for was an explanation that could cleanse Grandma Qigu of her bad reputation.Therefore, his demeanor was suddenly different; he was brisk and relieved, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. "By the way, why would my wife do such a thing? If she hears that Sister Aqiao has such a deep misunderstanding, how angry will she be?" "That's right!" Hu Xueyan was shocked: "Sister Aqiao's words must never be told to her." "If you don't tell me, how can you explain?" So the two discussed how to deal with Grandma Qigu?If she couldn't find it, she would ask Ah Jin to look for it again; if she said she had already wished for it, she would never go home again, and she would definitely not give up, and went to Baiyi'an to run into trouble by herself.After much deliberation, there is no proper way.Leaving this aside, Xiao Jiaji asked, "Mr. Hu, what are your plans for Sister Aqiao?" These words also made it difficult for Hu Xueyan to answer; after thinking about it for a long time, he sighed: "I will only be scolded!" "You mean, you decide to give up?" "So what if you don't give up?" "That's it, just ignore it." Xiao Jiaji said: "If you want to be hard-hearted, you must be hard-hearted!" "It's a matter of my own conscience." Hu Xueyan said, "It doesn't seem to be the way to ignore it." "What's the solution?" Xiao Jiaji said, "It's impossible for sister Aqiao to break up willingly." "I don't ask her to be willing, I just hope she can swallow that breath." Hu Xueyan made a decision: "I want to do it like this——." On the one hand, he used the tactic of slowing down the army to conceal Grandma Qigu, and only said that Sister Aqiao was introduced by the head teacher of Baiyi's nunnery, and had gone far away, and now he is sending people to chase her away; on the other hand, he wanted to ask Yiqing's second child Turn to Ah Jin: first, help hide the lie, and not tell the truth in front of Grandma Qigu; second, ask her to meet Aqiao sister, and convey a word, no matter what Aqiao sister wants to do, I wish you good luck and be good. Whether it is, or even following in the footsteps of the dust, Hu Xueyan will not intervene, and is going to give her a large sum of money. After talking about his plan, Hu Xueyan himself felt relieved; because of being entangled for many days, he finally had a quick solution to the mess.But in Xiao Jiaji, although he didn't think it was a good idea; it's just that there was no other good way to do it, and after all, he didn't have to do anything with himself, and he didn't need to do his best, so he just nodded his head in agreement. "It's not too late, your mistress is still waiting for an answer; what should you do, I will work hard on you tonight." "Mr. Hu's matter is equal to my master's matter," Xiao Jiaji thought for a while and said, "Let's go and see Yiqing's second child first." When I arrived at Yiqing's second child, the lights were feasting and the night was just around the corner.But she is in the "family" and has her own "small house"; fortunately, she is not far away, and the "Xiangbang" will lead her there in a short time.When I entered the door, I heard the chiming clock in the living room strike twelve; although Yiqing's second child hadn't slept, she had already gone upstairs to the bedroom. After hearing the report from the young lady, she invited the guests upstairs.As the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, the weather was quite stuffy; she faced the guests wearing a homemade silk jacket, with large and short sleeves, revealing two curved white arms, a gold bracelet on one arm, and a gold bracelet on the other wrist. A green bracelet, a plump bun, and a blessed appearance; this made Xiao Jiaji feel touched again, and in comparison, he felt that Sister Aqiao was haggard and pitiful. Since it was the first time for Hu and Xiao to visit, Yiqing's second son had to play around a bit, pouring tea and placing fruit plates, and even "turning on the light" to invite the guests to "lie down for a while".The main thing is to be courteous, and of course the guests have to pretend to be casual, say something irrelevant first, and then get down to business. Just as Xiao Jiaji said, "Sister Ah Qiao is indeed in Baiyi Nunnery", the young lady entered the room with a tray; so she had a drink and supper while continuing to talk about the trip.Xiao Jiaji finished speaking; Hu Xueyan continued to speak, asking Yiqing's second child to mediate. Yiqing's second son, who had been listening quietly, did not answer immediately; the matter was so bizarre that she couldn't figure it out for a while.Blinking his eyes and thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "Master Hu, I don't think things should be done this way. Grandma Qigu is indispensable for this matter!" Then, she talked about Zhang Langzhong; she thought that what Grandma Qigu did was the right thing to do.As for sister Aqiao's misunderstanding, she explained it clearly anyway.For the current plan, the only way is to try to persuade Sister Aqiao to come back; resolve misunderstandings, eliminate resentment, and marry Zhang Zhai. As long as everyone works together and works hard, there will be a happy ending. "Ah Jin doesn't need to let her intervene; you can't say anything decisive. Now sister Aqiao's thoughts are biased, and she has to be patient and turn it around slowly. Although Grandma Qigu has a rough temper, she is the most considerate and willing Take care of the overall situation; Sister Ah Qiao's misunderstanding, she is willing to forgive, and she is also willing to be wronged. But you can explain to her clearly; there is no need to let her go to Baiyi's nunnery. I think, Master Hu——" She deliberately stopped talking, hoping that Hu Xueyan would understand and make a gesture of her own accord.But Hu Xueyan's mind was very confused, impatient to think about it, and asked bluntly: "Second Sister, what do you want to say?" "I said, Mr. Hu, feel wronged, and go to Baiyi Nunnery in person tomorrow, with a smile on your face, and say a few nice words, and I'll talk to you after Sister Aqiao persuades you to come back." Hu Xueyan couldn't agree to this request.Over and over again, getting entangled, so that he put aside a lot of serious business and couldn't do it; he was really tired of it in his heart.Now I have finally come up with a quick measure to cut through the mess, but it can't be implemented; instead, I want to go with Sister Aqiao to accompany Smiley and say good things, not only a little bit unwilling, but also afraid that she will think that she will change her mind and feel that she is indispensable. If it's tight, wouldn't it be more troublesome? Seeing his distressed face, Yiqing's second child said anxiously, "Master Hu," she said, "I'm not as knowledgeable as you officials are. I'm sure about this matter. Why? What about women? Only women know what a woman thinks; besides, Sister Aqiao has been with me for more than a year, so of course I can understand her temperament. Master Hu, what I said is good, you will regret it if you don't listen!" Hu Xueyan originally had some prejudices against Yiqing's second child, and felt that she was protecting her, but after listening to her words, the prejudice naturally deepened, so she didn't express it for a while, and only acted in a contemplative manner, taking it as a disapproving answer. Xiao Jiaji was a bystander. On the one hand, he felt that Yiqing's second child's words were blunt, but his actions were wise;Fortunately, sister Qiao's whereabouts are known, so it doesn't matter if she stays in Baiyi Nunnery for a few more days.In order to avoid a stalemate, we can only do it according to the saying "everything slows down". "Mr. Hu also has Mr. Hu's difficulties; but your purpose is right!" He emphasized his tone, and at the same time winked at Yiqing's second child, "Take your time, sooner or later you will get things done." "Alright. Master Xiao, please persuade Master Hu!" "I know, I know." Xiao Jiaji repeatedly agreed, "I'll call you back tomorrow. It's late today, let's go!" Saying goodbye and going out, Hu Xueyan staggered, feeling exhausted physically and mentally.Of course Xiao Jiaji didn't want to say more, so he just asked, "Mr. Hu, where are you resting now? I'll take you there." "I'm going to sleep in the bank." Hu Xueyan said, "Do you still want to see your teacher today?" "There's no need to go today. It's so late!" "OK.".Hu Xueyan pondered for a while, frowned and shook his head, seeming annoyed, "Let's wait a day or two to talk about it! I'm really stupid, and I've never seen this kind of confusion and confusion!" "Then," Xiao Jiaji said in a low voice, as if he had gotten into trouble and asked someone for advice, "what should I say when I see my mistress tomorrow?" This time Hu Xueyan answered very bluntly: "As long as I don't hurt your mistress Heart, whatever you say is fine." Back at the bank, Hu Xueyan tossed and turned on the bed only to be annoyed, until the sound of the market gradually started to fall asleep. Just when he was dreaming, he was suddenly woken up by someone; he opened his heavy sleepy eyes, and saw Xiao Jiaji standing beside the bed with a smile, "Mr. Hu," he said, "the family members are here!" Hu Xueyan's drowsiness disappeared completely, and he stood up abruptly. While throwing off the blanket, he asked, "Where is it?" "Go to my teacher's wife first, check the imperial calendar, it happens to be a good day to enter the house, so I decided to go back to my new residence right now. Teacher's wife asked me to inform Mr. Hu." So Hu's mother and son, husband and wife, father and daughter reunited, as if in a lifetime, the whole family, big and small, sobbing; and grandma Qigu was crying with her.Finally, one by one stopped crying, narrated the scene after the farewell in detail, talked about the grief, and shed tears again; just talked about crying, crying and talking; until the third day, Mrs. Hu and Hu Xueyan's emotions , it is considered stable. During these three days, Grandma Qigu was naturally the busiest; when the Hu family first arrived in Shanghai, everything was unfamiliar, and she was asked to take care of everything.But as long as she calms down for a while, she will think of Sister Aqiao; a middle-aged abandoned woman who lives in a nunnery, put herself in her place and think about her, wondering what is the fun of life? Therefore, she would be surprised from time to time: Don't sister Aqiao commit suicide?This kind of uneasiness is increasing day by day; I have to consult with Liu Bucai. "It doesn't matter!" Liu Bucai replied, "I'll go with Xiao Jiaji and see what happens." So I found Xiao Jiaji, and I arrived at Baiqing Nunnery. When I knocked on the Zen gate, it was still Xiaoyin who answered the door. "Oh, Benefactor Xiao," Xiaoyin still recognized him, "Sister Aqiao has gone to Ningbo!" The news was too sudden, "What is she going to do in Ningbo?" Xiao Jiaji asked. "My master will tell you." Xiaoyin replied, "My master said that benefactor Xiao will definitely come again. It's really good."Come in, come in. " So the two were extended into the abode that Xiao Jiaji had been to last time; before they could sit down for a cup of tea, Liao Chen suddenly appeared, Liu Bucai's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but stand up with a smile. "Master Liaochen," Xiao Jiaji introduced to Liu Bucai, "this surname is Liu, and he is the eldest relative of the Hu family." "Oh, please sit down!" Liaochen said straight to the point, "You two must have come to persuade Sister Aqiao to go back." "Yes. I heard from my little teacher that she has gone to Ningbo? Is there such a thing?" "I left the day before yesterday. I went to find a home." Xiao Jiaji was very pleasantly surprised, "Master Liaochen," he asked, "Do you want to know all about Sister Aqiao's life experience?" "That's right! I persuaded her to go to Ningbo just because I knew her life experience." "It turned out that it was the boundless magic power of Master Liaochen who persuaded her to turn her head back!" Liu Bucai folded his hands on his chest and closed his eyes. Nan said: "Great merit, great merit!" His appearance was a bit funny, and Liao Chen couldn't help pursing his lips into a smile; he seemed very interested in Liu Bucai. "It's indeed a great merit!" Xiao Jiaji asked: "Can you tell us what Master Liaochen taught her?" "It's nothing more than using the word 'karma' to impress her. I advised her that the fate with Hu's benefactor is over, and there is no need to force it. The cause that was planted at the beginning will bear the fruit now. As for Zhang Langzhong, a new plant has been planted. The cause will still bear fruit; if it does not end in this life, it will end again in the next life. Reincarnation in the world is such a continuous cause and effect; it is better to lose this cause and fate in this life, and if there is no karma in the next life, you will not suffer. This is the great wisdom of great enlightenment People." Liaochen continued: "In my quiet place, I talked to the couch, and persuaded her for three days, and finally persuaded her to wake up!" "It's amazing! It's amazing! There's no bounds in the sea of ​​suffering, and you'll be right when you turn around!" Liu Bucai said. "If it wasn't for a wise man meeting a great wise man, there wouldn't be this consummation of merit." "Benefactor Liu is really good at eloquence." Liao Chen said with a smile, glanced at him, lowered his head and smiled for no reason. "Mrs. Chen has praised me. However, I have dabbled in Buddhist scriptures a little bit. When will I ask Mrs. Chen for a good lecture?" "Benefactor Liu is really kind and pious, please come here anytime." "I must come, I must come!" Liu Bucai looked around with great admiration, "Such a blessed place, I have to sit on the couch with my wife to meditate; I don't know when I will achieve this kind of happiness?" Liao Chen still responded with a reserved smile; Xiao Jiaji was afraid that Liu Bucai would continue to talk too much, so he hurriedly asked, "I've asked Master Chen, will Sister Aqiao come back after she has gone?" "Not coming back!" "Then where is her luggage? Have it all been brought to Ningbo?" "No! She will go alone first. Doctor Zhang will send someone to pick it up later." "The person sent by Doctor Zhang is here, can you ask Mrs. Chen to bring him a message, be sure to come to Fukang Bank." "No need!" Liaochen replied: "It's over once and for all, please go back to benefactor Xiao, and tell benefactor Hu, the fate is over, don't worry about it anymore." "Good! Good!" Liu Bucai read aloud: "'If you want to get rid of afflictions, you don't need to be selfless. Everyone has their own reasons. Don't envy others!'" Seeing this scene, Xiao Ji couldn't help feeling angry; Liu Bucai was just making trouble.In a fit of anger, he didn't ask any other questions, got up and said, "Thank you, Master Chen, we are leaving." Liu Bucai was still reluctant to part with him, so Xiao Jiaji couldn't help saying that he pulled him away. Gu Yingchun and his wife were overjoyed when they got home and told the story in detail; but Qigu's grandma was still unhappy, "I owe you, I should ask more details!" So she complained a little.This just aroused Xiao Jiaji's resentment, "Master," he said, pointing at Liu Bucai, "Mr. Liu is flirting with Chen Chen, how can I speak?" Then he described Liu Bucai's words and actions. again. Gu Yingchun and his wife laughed loudly; Grandma Qigu even burst into tears.Liu Bucai waited for them to stop laughing and said, "Is it time for me to talk now?" "Say, talk!" Grandma Qigu agreed with a smile, "Sanshu Liu, tell me." "Jiaji can't hold back, why is there such a rush? Tomorrow I'm going to 'practice Zen' with Chen. How many words are not good?" ask her?" "That's right! Uncle Liu, please ask her, the more detailed the better." Gu Yingchun didn't speak at that time; later he said to Liu Bucai: "Your words are right, 'If you want to get rid of troubles, you don't need me. People'. The relationship between my uncle and sister Aqiao can have such a result, it is really wonderful! There is no need to worry about it. Uncle Liu, I would like to advise you not to practice Zen!" "I meant it for fun."
