The Buddha Temple is not pure

Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, but there is more rain, and sometimes from evening onwards, we spend the night underground endlessly. Some people say that Chang'e stumbled and fell into the fairyland, and the water splashed the world but they didn't know it. On the night of lovesickness, but for Zhu Mengzhen, the daughter of Zhu's parents, rain is not a good thing, flowers are not a good thing, and in the end even the lovesickness of the full moon has become a bad thing.

Walking through the forest and stepping on the leaves, there are white boots, white skirts, and white gauze hats that are not stained with dust. It is not suitable to go out in such a rainy day, but there is no way. As usual, I will go to Duan's mansion today for consultation with the third lady. Duan Linxiang's Gu Ji has been taken care of by her all the time, which is quite appropriate, no one else has this medical skill, even if there is, Duan Linxiang is not happy, her Chuntang Garden only opens the door when she hears the three words "Zhu Mengzhen".

Zhu Mengzhen's tutor told her since she was a child that her daughter's family can't show her face at will, but she has no choice but to put her medical skills there. It is inevitable to save lives and heal the wounded, so she had to cover her face with white gauze. With superb medical skills and rejuvenation, it is like a god descending to earth, and a Bodhisattva is alive, so she was given the title of "Holy Aunt".

Not many people have seen her true face, Duan Linxiang is one of them.

Because Duan Linxiang likes to be quiet and needs a quiet environment to recuperate from illness, Chuntang Garden is full of flowers and trees. Not very prosperous, it seems to be a corner forgotten by the magnificent scenery of Duanfu's carved beams and painted buildings. Although it is more quiet and less elegant, it matches the flowers and trees outside and complements each other.

But this kind of gravel road has been hard for Zhu Mengzhen, the fallen flowers mixed with the mud and covered her boots, while walking on the road, she beat a plantain leaf horizontally, and a bunch of flowering branches vertically, even if she was wearing a white gauze hat, she didn't look very decent, she pushed it away in embarrassment When she opened the door, she saw Duan Linxiang looking out the window, the cold and wet wind blowing on her slightly sickly face.

"Sister, the wind and rain are raging outside, you can't take it anymore, close it quickly."

Duan Linxiang frowned, and murmured: "The rain hit the plantain all night, I didn't close my eyes all night, I thought you wouldn't come..."

Zhu Mengzhen smiled and said: "The wind and rain are not to be feared, sister's health is the most important thing, why don't I come, I have finished the medicine last time?"

Duan Linxiang didn't answer, and after closing the window, he took out a shirt dyed with Daishan ink and gave it to her: "Kao, you change it first and then take my pulse, so as not to catch the wind and cold."

Kuang is her nickname. Even Zhu Ruhui probably forgot that her daughter has such a name, but Duan Linxiang remembers that she called her since she was a child. Zhu Mengzhen originally called her third sister, just like Duan Shiqing, but Mrs. Zhu listened. She didn't like it, and said that she called her third sister Sanjie before she was married, which was a bit frivolous, so she changed her name to sister.

Zhu Mengzhen was rummaging through the medicine box when the clothes were handed to her. After some hesitation, she finally untied her wet dress.Duan Linxiang skillfully helped her take off the white gauze hat that was dripping, and wiped her forehead with a handkerchief. It was not known whether it was water or sweat, but it was cool. A few strands of hair were wet and ironed on her temples, and she also Carefully combed the past.

"Sister, I'll do it myself."

Zhu Mengzhen's appearance is not amazing, she can only be said to be beautiful and upright, but when she smiles, it is a different scene.Duan Linxiang loves seeing her smile the most, but he can't laugh when he thinks of his ineffective younger brother.

When taking the pulse, Zhu Mengzhen was extremely serious, she didn't speak, and she didn't let the patient talk, this was her rule, Duan Linxiang knew it, but today she couldn't hold back, and grabbed the hand that was taking her pulse with her backhand, The eyes are earnest and sincere: "Kan, I support you, and I will stand by your side."

Zhu Mengzhen was surprised: "Sister, what are you talking about?"

"No matter what he thinks about your marriage with Shiqing, I will support you, stand by your side, and won't let anyone bully you."

She laughed, but it was just a sneer: "Sister, what's wrong with you today? The specific date of my marriage to Mr. Duan has not been set yet, and I don't know when I can marry into the Duan family. If you bully or not, you Thinking too far."

"I know you've always been in love with him, but maybe he doesn't mean it that way?"

Only then did Zhu Mengzhen hear the mystery in her words: "I don't understand, the marriage between the two families was not pre-determined by the elders. If Mr. Duan disagrees, Uncle Duan will not come to ask for a marriage."

"In the past, he really had no objection, but for some reason, since he went up to Beiman Mountain and came down, his whole person has changed. I guess he met some fairy dance again, and was bewitched by some shameless girl, so if you Don't worry if you hear any troubles, I will speak for you with my father."

How could it be like this?I wish Meng Zhen was hit by a bolt from the blue.

"Master Duan is very convenient, why don't I go and meet him in person."

"You can go and see him. After all, we siblings grew up together. I'd like to see how he will explain to you."

After the pulse was diagnosed, the medicine was prescribed, and the two of them held an umbrella and went to Changxiang Court, but before they reached the door, they saw Duan Shiqing and a woman walking eastward with an umbrella from a distance.

"Who is that woman beside Mr. Duan?"

"Yao'er, it seems that his father summoned him to go, and the direction of the two of them is also the Linyuan Hall where his father lives. Let's go, let's follow."

Duan Siyao brought Duan Shiqing to his father. Since the last time Xie Chengxiu married his dead wife in white, the Duan family has been criticized by others, and Duan Fayang's brows have never been relaxed. Zhu's family divorced, his head was about to explode.

"Qing'er, do you really want to withdraw your marriage with Zhu's family?"

"That's right, I've made up my mind to ask my father to make it happen." Duan Shiqing knelt in front of the hall without changing his face.

Duan Fayang sighed three times, and after getting up, he walked back and forth several times with his hands behind his back, and suddenly frowned and said: "It's all because my father favors you too much, which makes you so arrogant. Do you know what the situation of my Duan family is like now?" Xiu'er only offended the Ji family, and that boy Ji Dingqiao dared to threaten me in front of me to cut off our supply, so I had no choice but to agree to let Xiu'er marry that dead girl. The family's disgrace is all over the street, and it happens that you want to cancel the marriage of Zhu's family, have you thought about the consequences?"

Duan Shiqing didn't even raise his head, and replied: "It's not that I didn't put myself in my father's shoes. Most of the pharmacists in Jishitang under my Duan family's family invited Mr. Zhu's disciples. If we fell out with Zhu's family, we would definitely be punished." Not good."

"Since you understand, why do you still act willfully?"

"I understand, that's why I thought of the best of both worlds for my father. The Duan family and the Ji family have always been on good terms, but I never thought that they would break up with us because of an insignificant girl. It can be seen that business contacts are not enough to forge an iron alliance. If the two families get married, and there will be disputes in the future, Uncle Ji will definitely worry about his daughter's safety in the Duan family and will not dare to make mistakes. Besides, marrying the Ji family can also bring back my Duan family. Face, kill two birds with one stone."

"Want to marry someone else's daughter? Do you think her elder brothers are vegetarians? They have tried it as a father. Not only did they not agree to marry the girl to your cousin, they even threatened."

Duan Shiqing sneered: "That's my cousin's incompetence, he killed his maidservant, why did he marry another girl to him? I'm not referring to my cousin, but myself."

"You want to marry Ji Luoyu, the only daughter of the Ji family?"

"That's right, that's why I want to divorce Zhu Mengzhen."

"But at the Zhu family, have you thought about how to deal with it? After sweeping the Zhu family's face, we still lose more than we gain."

Duan Shiqing's eyes were firm, and he said with confidence: "Father, don't worry, I will go to Zhu Mengzhen in person and ask her to voluntarily withdraw the engagement. It's not a shame on the Zhu family."

"You and Zhen'er are childhood sweethearts, are you really ruthless?"

"……certainly."

Duan Linxiang and Zhu Mengzhen had been lying on the corner of the wall for a while, and they heard it clearly. Seeing that Zhu Mengzhen's face was pale and trembling all over, Duan Linxiang hugged her firmly, and comforted her: "Kai, don't be afraid, as long as we If he doesn't agree, he won't be able to withdraw the engagement, and when Shiqing seeks you, you will kill him, so don't waver."

"It doesn't matter whether you retire or not, anyway, he has already taken a fancy to the girl from the Ji family."

"Something must have happened on the mountain that night. How could the one-time encounter between him and Miss Ji compare to the friendship you have had with him since we were young? He was just fascinated by ghosts for a while, so don't think too much about it."

Duan Siyao insisted on sending Duan Shiqing away, but he politely refused. He came out alone with an umbrella, and the downpour of rain hit the oil-paper umbrella vigorously, the world was full of noise, and no sound could be heard.

Zhu Mengzhen yelled three times in a crying voice, only for him to turn around and look at each other.

This yell also called out Duan Fayang and Duan Siyao, Duan Linxiang regretted it, and finally did not stop it.

"I don't know how Mr. Duan is going to persuade me to resign the engagement?" She tried her best to suppress her emotions, but the moment Duan Shiqing turned her head, she failed.

There is a river in everyone's heart, sometimes it is clear, sometimes it is turbid, it rises when it rains, and it falls when it is dry for a long time, but there are joys and sorrows in the world, misfortunes and fortunes are unpredictable, so everyone learns to build dams along the river bank, which is long and hard , Call it practice, but you don’t know when your dam will be broken by the waves of arrogance. It looks strong, but it is actually fragile.

Zhu Mengzhen, as the eldest daughter, follows the demeanor and etiquette of everyone's lady, decent, self-restraining, dignified and upright, but no one knows that she is more fragile than ordinary girls.

He rushed over in the rain, suppressing the useless tears and said: "I am here, please tell Mr. Duan clearly."

Duan Linxiang was about to follow her to hold an umbrella for her, but was stopped by Duan Siyao: "Third sister, why is Miss Zhen here?" She didn't want to speak, and her heart was in a mess. My brother has his heart.

Duan Shiqing had no intention of shielding her from the wind and rain, and his eyes were cold when he spoke: "Come back with me, don't be ashamed of yourself here."

Zhu Mengzhen couldn't laugh or cry: "I am ashamed? Since Mr. Duan wants to retire, then you and I have nothing to do with each other. What are you afraid of if I lose my own people?"

"Enough!" Duan Shiqing was furious, he threw the umbrella to the wind and rain, grabbed her wrist forcefully, and led her away from Linyuan Hall.

"Let go of me, what can't be said here!" Zhu Mengzhen's voice was still mixed in the wind and rain, Duan Fayang was afraid, afraid that Duan Shiqing would be like his cousin and mess up like his cousin, so he ordered Duan Linxiang and Duan Siyao to follow past.

Unexpectedly, when the two of them came to Qianxiang Court, they were rejected by Duan Shiqing, and they couldn't hear the movement inside, so it was useless to worry.

Duan Shiqing threw Zhu Mengzhen violently, she didn't stand still and fell to the ground, but he still refused to let go, reached out and raised her pale face, and said ferociously: "Since you have heard it all, I will not hide it." You, if you quit this marriage, the Zhu family's face will be safe, if you insist on tearing your face apart, the Zhu family will be ashamed because of you, whether it is good or bad, you can decide for yourself."

Zhu Mengzhen was out of breath but sneered: "What the hell did I do to ask you to threaten me like this?"

"You know what you've done." Duan Shiqing gritted his teeth and said, "You know that I hate unrestrained and unclean women the most in my life, but you just want to do this."

"What are you talking about? I have to wear a white gauze to feel the pulse, but you say that I am unrestrained and impure?" Zhu Mengzhen trembled with anger.

"Don't admit it, right?" Duan Shiqing turned around and took out something from under the pillow, and threw it in front of her with a rattling sound. It was a wish card with a red tassel.

Zhu Mengzhen picked it up and took a look. There was a line on the back: May my son escape from the world of mortals and be safe and successful.

Her eyes were wide open, and she laughed like crazy: "Is it because of this that you want to divorce me?"

"Isn't this enough?" Duan Shiqing said coldly, "I can tell by looking at the handwriting on it that it belongs to you. You are more hateful than those prostitutes. Not only are you unrestrained and unclean, but you also conceived and gave birth illegitimately before getting married. , if it wasn't for the little bit of shame you have left, why would you send your child to Mengjue Temple and dare not stay with you to raise it? This proves that you still know what is good or bad, why don't you leave yourself a retreat and insist on letting the two Is the house ugly?"

"What if I say the child is yours?" This sentence sounded calm and calm, and there was nothing more sorrow than heart-death. Originally, I wanted to tell him the wedding day as good news, but it seemed that I couldn't.

Duan Shiqing couldn't understand, instead he sneered and tapped his head with a fan: "Do you think I'm stupid? Although we grew up together since we were young, I've never touched you. Blackmail, what about Yide, who is a lady? What about the shame of being a saint? Aren’t you Zhujia very noble! Originally, I just hated you, but now I find that you are not even worthy of my hatred. You are not only dirty, but also shameless !"

Zhu Mengzhen's heart was ashamed, and she stepped back step by step: "As a medical woman, a bowl of abortion pills is not difficult for me, and you don't even think about why I insisted on giving birth to that child, but it is dirty and shameless in your mouth." girl. That’s all, as long as you don’t regret it, I’ll do it for you.”

Duan Shiqing resumed his usual sternness, and said contemptuously: "I want you to take the initiative to resign. If there is a rift between the Zhu family and the Duan family because of this, don't blame me for publicizing your scandal."

Zhu Mengzhen stood up with the corner of the table, wiped the corners of his eyes, and said, "You don't have to threaten me, I have a sense of proportion."

"Properly? I hope." Duan Shiqing opened the door, and she stumbled out, as if she had lost her soul.

Duan Linxiang waited outside anxiously. Seeing someone come out, he immediately took off his cloak and tied it around her body: "Kao, what are you talking about? Why is it taking so long?"

Zhu Mengzhen looked at her in despair, wanted to speak and finally swallowed.She has never liked makeup, powder, and flowers, and there is no trace of rouge on her face. She usually has a unique natural beauty when she looks good, but now, her small face is as pale as paper, and the makeup of the dead does not dare to be like this.

Seeing that she was silent, Duan Linxiang was so out of breath that he couldn't stop panting and coughing. He held her hand, not wanting to let her go.

But can this hold?Zhu Mengzhen looked at the sky, and finally disappeared in the pouring rain, carrying her blood-stained original intention.

That night, she didn't go back to Zhu's house, she went straight up the mountain after leaving Duan's mansion, she didn't go back for a long time, she really should go and have a look.

Yue Weiyang got a few pumpkin seedlings from nowhere, and planted them beside the Lingquan ecstatically. Yawangjun was not afraid of death and poured cold water on him again: "Yangyang, there are rocks near the Lingquan, who would be so stupid as to put the pumpkin seedlings on it? Plant it in this kind of place? Besides, people plant seeds in March and April, and fertilize in June and July, so you can plant in autumn and harvest in spring, and you won’t be afraid of others laughing at you as a poor farmer.”

"I don't know if I'm blind or not, but you must be blind. Widen your cat's eyes and look up. How many seeds have fallen from the red beans on the cloud rocks in spring and autumn. Who told you that you can't live if you take root in rocks? Besides, here is Lingquan, the water, soil and climate are different from other lands, let alone I plant in autumn and harvest in spring, even if it is planted in winter and harvested in summer, it will still bloom and bear fruit for me!"

Yawangjun pouted, nodded his head like pounding garlic, and couldn't help sighing: "The flower beard grows overnight, don't wait for Xiaofeng to remind me, I read the history books of the world before, and I don't understand why there is such a fierce and domineering woman like Empress Wu, ordering the world A hundred flowers bloom, and it was still in the snowy winter, but now that I see you, everything is clear."

"You are poor, if I become an empress, I will be the first to take off your skin and use it as a dragon chair." Yue Weiyang picked up a stone and hit it.

"Vulgar." Ya Wangjun turned over and dodged, two cat paws clawed at the edge, and asked poking his head, "The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, have you prepared mooncakes yet?"

"Tsk, I actually forgot." She immediately figured it out, "The ready-made red beans can be boiled and pounded to make stuffing, but where do you get the dough?"

"Why don't you go to the temple to borrow some."

"That's fine, they don't like to eat mooncakes anyway. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, they have to lecture on the scriptures under the moon. One lecture lasts for three days and three nights. After the scriptures are finished, the mooncakes will become hard as stones, and they will collapse after eating. Teeth." Thinking of this, Yue Weiyang complained quite a bit, although she is not a good eater, she has a soft spot for moon cakes and little dragon balls.

"But I think Xiaosi likes to eat, so I can stuff him with two yuan to satisfy his hunger before the lecture."

Mentioning Xiaosi, Yue Weiyang's mouth turned up slightly unconsciously: "Greedy monkey kid, why don't you like to eat, but he is indeed pitiful, he should have grown up in a wealthy family."

Suddenly, her expression became serious, and she counted with her fingers: "Someone has gone up the mountain."

Lord Yawang was also surprised: "It's raining so much, and it's almost night, who will come up the mountain?"

"Zhu Mengzhen." After she finished speaking, she waved her sleeves, turning the clouds to see the moon, and the pouring rain stopped in an instant without leaving any traces. The wind in the mountains swept over the mud on the road, speeding up the solidification time, which was the way for Zhu Mengzhen to go up the mountain It's better to go.

"The mid-autumn festival is approaching, I'm afraid she came up the mountain because of Xiaosi's thoughts, should we take Xiaosi to Sao Yuxuan to hide?"

Yue Weiyang shook her head: "Mother and child are deeply in love, how can we stop them? They have been hiding for four or five years, now it's time for them to meet."
