In the east side hall, there have been many daughters and young masters of the powerful families in Beijing. Many of them have been seen by Qin yunuan at the flower festival banquet. At the moment, they just sit by and watch the angry shangguanyi in the middle of the crowd and Leng Changxi who is still calm and indifferent.
It's not that they like to watch the bustle. It's just this scene. One is a general with outstanding military achievements. The other is Zuo xiangai's daughter. No one dares to step in or has the right to step in.
"Leng Changxi, I'm not afraid of you when others are afraid of you. You have to drink this cup of tea if you want, not if you want to! Drink it too! " Shangguanyi stood aside with her waist crossed, her eyes red with anger.
Turning around, he happened to see Qin yunuan and shangguanrang standing together, directly pulling shangguanrang, coquetting: "brother, you finally come, you go back to tell your father, it's Leng Changxi who deliberately made trouble for me, I am good enough to soak the top Tieguanyin, but it's rejected by others."
Shangguan let me feel embarrassed. Looking back and forth at them, I felt that they fell into a bellows with chilly cold wind on both ends.
"Why is it so aggressive, Shangguan girl?" Compared with shangguanyi's impatience, Leng Changxi seems to be so calm. He uses his index finger to knock the exquisite white jade clear tea cup. There is a scornful and cold smile on his face. "The color of the tea is old. It's obviously old tea. The tea is broken but not fragrant. It's obviously tea dregs. And the water for making tea." Leng Changxi points his nose and turns his head. "Shangguan girl, have you not boiled it yet ?”
"Brother." Shangguanyi turns her head and prays to see shangguanrang. When she is alone, she can swear with broad hands. But when her brother comes, she depends more on her brother.
It's a pity that the superior officer was so incompetent for the young dandy that he was ignorant, incompetent, unable to argue, and unable to say: "general Leng, you see, this is also the intention of shemei."
Leng Changxi stood up, looked back and said, "no matter how good the tea is, it's in vain if it's not soaked carefully. Shangguan girl, you can't afford this tea." Obviously, it's polite, but it makes shangguanyi face down again.
The superior officer put Qin yunuan in a dilemma at this time. In a second, he saw Qin yunuan coming in with him. No matter what happened, he pushed Qin yunuan to come out: "three girls of Qin, you are trying to help persuade general Leng."
You don't push, but you just let me advise you? Qin yunuan unconsciously sips his mouth, and the willow eyebrows quiver like cicada wings. These small movements fall into Leng Changxi's eyes.
Before Qin yunuan could say anything, Leng Changxi said in a loud voice: "the Lord's son is serious. Everyone comes to Wan'an temple to pray for his family. Why do you have to be so embarrassed? Just keep your own points."
"Well, you mean that I'm not sensible and deliberately make troubles. When I was a child, your brother praised me for being smart. How come you are so different from your family?" Shangguanyi, a young lady with a temper, can't stand a little grievance at all.
Leng Changxi's face was indifferent, just like a painted sword eyebrow flying into a good-looking arc: "before the age of 12, Shangguan girl still didn't mention it. After all, at that time, my brother was young and didn't know what to say, Shangguan girl didn't care too much."
Immediately, there was another private gossip around. Even Qin yunuan could not help but raise his mouth. This Leng Changxi looks very different from the ordinary general in the battlefield.
At the right time, a monk came to report that the hall of Mahavira is ready to pray at any time. Please don't miss the auspicious time.
All the people went to the hall. Sixteen pots of charcoal fire had been lit in the hall, which made the whole hall warm like spring. Sixty-four dandelions were placed neatly, and the servant girls were waiting outside.
There are five Buddhas in the hall. The central one is Sakyamuni Buddha. The left hand is horizontally placed on the left foot, and the right hand is bent upward to form a ring. It is majestic and solemn. The gilded gold body exudes an irresistible majesty.
The monk who presides over the blessing ceremony is a monk who looks at some people's faces. In his early fifties, he is kind-hearted and a little fat. He wears a red plain gold embroidered cassock and salutes: "the monk's name is Hui'an. Elder martial brother Hui Neng is not well today, so I'll let the monk preside over it."
"What's wrong with master Huineng?" Fang Ziying asked, "it's always master Huineng who presides over it. We are also related to master Huineng. It's reasonable to visit."
"Don't be so troublesome," Hui'an replied quickly, "elder martial brother is just typhoid fever and cold. Now he just needs to rest. It's not good to meet people and get into the wind."
Qin Yuwen and Fang Ziying look at each other, but kneel on the futon hand in hand.
The blessing ceremony went smoothly. Although master Huineng was not there, Hui'an also presided over the ceremony in an orderly manner. The Buddhist principles were also very close to the people's hearts, and there were reasonable grounds.
"I wish my family peace and a smooth family. My sisters can find a good husband and marry my sister." Fang Ziying's hands are folded. She is very devout.
Qin yunuan also secretly made a wish: "I hope this life will be safe and stable, the rapist will be killed, and the villain will be cut off. If yunuan can protect Baochuan and become a successful man, the people around him will have no worries for the whole life. Yunuan will come to repay the wish with candlelight and red silk."
At the time of recitation, suddenly someone pointed to the Buddha statue of Sakyamuni and exclaimed, "the Buddha is in tears!""It's true that the Buddha shed tears, but still shed blood and tears."
All of them lost their looks. The Buddha's tears are a sign of great evil.
Qin yunuan looked up and saw that on the Buddha statue which was ten feet high, there was a red water stain from the inner side of the eyes, and it was dripping slowly along the outer side of the gilded cheek. It looked like tears.
How can Buddha cry? Someone must be making trouble!
"No, Buddha's tears. It's a bad omen. Someone here must have offended Buddha and suffered this retribution." Cried some in dismay.
"It's just a Buddha statue," Fang Ziying said, pretending to be calm. "Maybe it's just that the paint of the Buddha statue hasn't dried, and with the recent snowmelt and the humid air, it's just flowing down."
"I'm afraid that's not the case." Li Weijun, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth to Qin yunuan and Fang Ziying and said, "if it is true that we have any demons or ominous people here, isn't it yunuan's sister?"
Qin yunuan and Li Weijun have a very shallow friendship, but it was the last Huachao Festival banquet. She came with shangguanyi to make a strong voice. This time, she only named her own name, like she came prepared. If not for herself, it was for the person behind her.
"Not necessarily," Qin yunuan smiled softly. "Everything has its way. Today's business..."
"Buddha shows his spirit. There must be evils in this hall!" Before Qin yunuan finished speaking, a loud and determined voice rang through the hall of Mahavira. The echo was still ringing around the beams among the incense towers. It was not others who spoke, but master Hui'an who presided over the blessing ceremony.
The seats were full of brawls and each looked at each other.
"You blind monk, what are you talking about?" shangguanyi most taboo these dirty things. She angrily said: "today, all the people who come to pray are the powerful official families in Beijing. If you have nothing to do, I will go back to let dad cure you."
"What if it wasn't nothing but something?" "Li Weijun's small face flashed across the silk." master Hui'an, go on
Half a month ago, shangguanyi and Li Weijun shared the same hatred and anger for Qin Yun's makeup, but now they are fighting against each other. It seems that shangguanyi has nothing to do with this matter, but it's a pity that she can't hide the temper of the eldest lady, turning her head and saying, "everyone comes to pray for blessings. Why do you always like to stir up trouble?"
"Sister Shangguan, you're not right," Li Weijun said in a partial way. "I'm also for your good. I've found out, so as not to misunderstand you." Then he urged again, "master Hui'an, you have a profound Buddhism, and you must know that the dust is caused by the common fruit."
Hui'an only closed her eyes and turned one dragon eye Buddha bead in her hand. She sighed "Amitabha Buddha" and then opened her eyes and said, "among you, there are those born in May?"
Qin yunuan is slightly shocked, but soon calms down. Her expression is still quiet, but someone can see that she is nervous after all in the turbulent undercurrent. The omnipotent, scheming little woman will be nervous.
Leng Changxi stares at Qin yunuan. Their eyes are focused on the warm but cool air. Leng Changxi's tall posture sends out a cold chill, which makes Qin yunuan feel like shuttling in the night, fascinated and trapped.
"I remember that yunuan's sister was born in May, right?" a clear and euphemistic voice rang out above the hall. "On the fifth day of May this year, it should be the 15th."
Qin yunuan looks back and sees that it's Li Weijun who is talking. This move is all towards her. It seems that Dou Qinge has exhausted her mind to deal with herself.
Qin yunuan lightly replied, "I just met Sister Li. She remembers her birthday so clearly. Yunuan is really flattered."
"And other people?" Hui an holds the bead of Buddha and opens her eyes slowly.
Everyone shook their heads, and the eyes of Qin yunuan changed gradually.
Hui'an continued to hold the Buddha bead and said, "the so-called birth in February, the birth in May, the birth of the whole family, is a great omen."
Qin yunuan slowly replied, "everyone knows this sentence, but the master seems to have made a mistake. The daughter is not allowed to be born in February, but the disadvantage of being born in May is that he is a man."
Hui'an goes to Qin yunuan and points to Qin yunuan and continues, "May's birthday is really about men, but the benefactor is just a girl and a man, which is even worse."
"Nonsense," Fang Ziying can't help it. "My sister Yuwen was born with a beautiful face. How could she be a girl and a man?"
Hui'an shook her head in a deep look, and turned to ask, "then I ask you, are there any women in the Qin family's residence who have difficulties in childbirth recently?"
Qin yunuan picked his eyebrows and nodded, "yes, one of my father's aunts had a hard time giving birth two months ago, and finally survived by hanging her life with ginseng."
Hui'an didn't seem to think that Qin yunuan would answer so readily, and asked more confidently, "recently, is your elder brother still away from home, and your father is suffering from bloodshed? Even the women in the family can't avoid it? "
Qin yunuan chuckled, "that's right. My brother Qin Linfeng has been travelling far away. His return date is uncertain. My father came from the front of the southern tour of the Yangtze River with his eldest son. He was attacked by assassins. My father sprained his arm to protect his eldest son. My two sisters, the eldest sister, were injured in the palace. The second sister was punished for doing wrong. Every one, master, you are right. "Qin yunuan finished saying, and the voice of discussion on the main hall was all the rage. Only Leng Changxi was as quiet as a fir in the night. It was cool and straight. No one knew what he was waiting for, maybe it was the dawn, maybe it was darker than the night.
"Hum, it's a broom star indeed," said Li Weijun in a high voice. "What's the use of a commoner girl who has hurt the Qin family's life?"
"So, the eldest prince was attacked by assassins, and was also indirectly encumbered by Miss Qin San? This is related to the safety of the prince. " Some people are afraid that there will be no chaos in the world.
Hui'an just closed her eyes and said, "Amitabha, it's really injustice."
"What the master said is right, but yunuan has something to say." Qin yunuan looks slightly sideways. Her face is as peaceful as a lotus.
