Chapter 15

Zhen Yaoting had already arrived at the Ci'en Temple. He clearly heard the sound of cymbals, wooden fish, and cymbals doing things in the direction of the great hall on the partition wall. He knew that the big girl was inside, but he couldn't enter. After wandering around for a long time, he found a remote corner. There was a locust tree growing in the corner. The branches stretched out to the other side of the wall. Going down, I was finally able to climb over the wall and enter the main hall in a veiled way under the shadow of the trees. As I got closer, I saw people from the Pei family coming in and out from time to time at the entrance of the hall, and there were occasional little eunuchs in the palace. I didn't dare to approach rashly for a while, so I hid behind a huge Dharma monument on the side of the road, and looked around, waiting for a long time, but I didn't see anyone. He came out, holding a basket of incense in his hand, as if he was about to head towards the gate. He was overjoyed, and his eyes were fixed on him. When she passed by, she saw it and threw a small stone at her back.

Yuzhu felt as if she had been hit lightly by something behind her, and turned her head subconsciously. She saw a head sticking out from behind the Dafa monument. She recognized that it was the son of the Zhen family. After hesitating for a while, she turned her head and said a few words to the girl next to her, and told her to go to Xiangtang first. When the girl left, she turned around by herself, stopped by the road and asked, "Master Zhen, is there anything?"

Zhen Yaoting saw her stop in front of her, her eyes looked over, her heart beat faster, she hurriedly walked out from behind the stone tablet, and said in a low voice, "We are leaving today, before getting on the boat this morning, I suddenly I remembered one thing. Last time, thanks to your help, I was able to speak to the old lady and help my sister to clear up her grievances. I remember that I haven't thanked you yet. If I leave like this, I feel really uneasy. I came here this morning just to thank you."

Yuzhu's first impression of Zhen Yaoting was very bad. He felt that he was oily and Meng Lang. When he came to the last time, he saw that he rushed to the old lady in order to stand out for his sister. Although he acted recklessly, he felt his love for his sister. , thinking that his family changed in his childhood, if he had a brother like him, maybe the situation would be different, so after that, I had a better impression of him, and seeing him now is to thank myself, specially Having come all the way here, apart from the accident, I was inevitably moved.

Today, outsiders are not allowed in the Great Law Hall. I remembered how he was hiding behind the Fa tablet just now. I didn’t need to ask and guessed that he should have entered the wrong way. It's just a small matter, why do you need to come here to thank you like this? Go back quickly. I have something to do, so I'll go first."

After she finished speaking, she turned to leave.

Zhen Yaoting came all the way, and finally waited for her. Before he could say a word, he was about to leave when he saw her. He was so anxious that he pulled her sleeve and pulled her to the place where he was hiding just now. Behind the Dafa monument, seeing her face blushing, she seemed angry, she quickly let go of her hand, and said in a low voice, "Don't be annoyed, don't be annoyed! I thought that thanking her would not be enough, so I brought something with me." He took out a wrapped handkerchief and opened it. Inside was a pair of jade bracelets. The whole body was clear and the water was full of water. He handed it to Yuzhu and said, "Look at it, do you like it?"

Yuzhu was astonished: "We are not relatives, so how dare I ask for such a valuable thing as you? Hurry up and put it away!"

Zhen Yaoting was also happy. Hearing that she didn't want it, he immediately took it back, and then, like a magician, he took out a small box with intricate carvings: "I heard that last time you asked someone to buy Suhexiang from the incense shop. . That's not good. There are a few ambergris here, and it's not worth a lot of money. Sister, you can take the lavender and smoked handkerchief."

Yuzhu didn't know when he even heard about this kind of thing. It was funny and angry, and she frowned: "Zhen Gongzi, I understand your kindness. I just can't stand it. Our wife makes this incense. , I'm just a servant who serves others, how am I worthy of it? You go quickly, it's not good to be seen. I have something to do, so I'm leaving too!"

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the stone tablet, and hurried to the direction of Xiangtang at the gate.

Zhen Yaoting saw that she left like this, and she didn't send out any of the things she brought. She was so anxious that she couldn't do anything else. She hurriedly turned out from behind the stone tablet, chased after two steps, and said, "It's really worthless. No one else knows, why are you like this! If you dare not use dragon saliva, I still have frozen dragon brain! My sister has never liked incense, but before going to Beijing this time, she specially asked me to give it from the warehouse She took out a box of this incense and brought it out for use, and she doesn't want dragon saliva. My sister is an elegant person, she likes it all, and I think you will like it too. Otherwise, I'll go back and get you some frozen dragon's brain..."

Yuzhu met such a master for the first time in her life. Calling someone at a loud voice, for fear of hurting Madam Meng and Jiafu's face, he didn't call, but he kept on lingering like this, feeling annoyed and ashamed at the same time. Hearing his voice getting louder and louder, this road was the gate again. The only way to the Dafa Hall, I was afraid that if I met someone, I hurriedly stopped, and was about to sink my face and reprimand, when I looked up, I suddenly saw the uncle coming from the opposite side, followed by Jiafu and beside her. The girl was startled, she hurriedly walked over, called uncle, looked back at Zhen Yaoting, and reluctantly said: "Just now I went to the incense hall to pick up incense, I just met the son of the Zhen family, and said a few words. The spice thing. He's leaving too..."

Jiafu had already seen her brother. You can tell from Yuzhu's face that he must have offended people just now.

But at the moment, it doesn't matter at all.

She had heard what her brother had just said. My heart was beating wildly.

She calmed down, raised her eyes quietly, and looked at Pei You'an who was parked in front of her.

I hope he didn't notice what his brother said just now.

But soon, Jaffe understood. It's just her wishful thinking.

Pei You'an didn't say anything, but stopped. He turned his head and looked at her, two eyes fell on her face, looking extremely strange.

Jia Fu's face quickly flushed red, almost dripping blood.

He looked at her like this for a moment, then frowned slightly.

Jiafu's heart was beating even more, she subconsciously took a small step towards him and opened her mouth, but his expression was already indifferent.

He no longer looked at her, only turned his head, nodded slightly towards Yuzhu, then stepped forward and continued to walk forward.

She stared at the receding figure in front of her and froze there.

Knowing by him, she lied in front of him that day.

She stood blankly, the red tide on her face quickly faded, and her face turned white again. My heart is blocked, it is very blocked.

"Sister? Why are you here?"

Zhen Yaoting's voice rang in his ears.

Jiafu was finally summoned back to her senses, suppressing the extreme frustration surging in her heart, she turned to Yuzhu, and said, "My brother didn't even say a word to my mother, but he ran over like this. If you offend just now, please Yuzhu. Sorry, sister."

Seeing that her face is not good, Yuzhu cares about this and asks with concern: "What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? I'll help you in and sit down and drink some water."

Jiafu calmed down, shook her head, and forced a smile on her face: "I'm fine. I'm leaving the capital today, and I'm just about to leave. If I don't see my brother, I'm here to find him. If there's nothing else, I'll talk to you. My brother is leaving first, and my mother is still waiting. Before the old lady, if someone mentions the matter here, please help me to say a few words. It is really my brother who is too sloppy, causing you a lot of inconvenience. "

Yuzhu didn't stay after hearing what she said, and said, "It's okay. Then I'll send you out."

Jiafu looked at Zhen Yaoting, saw that he was still reluctant to leave, and said with restraint, "Brother, are you still not leaving? Fang Cai Niang is in a hurry. Could it be that you really want to piss her off?"

Zhen Yaoting then reluctantly followed Jiafu out and out of the Great Hall. Seeing that her sister left the mountain gate without saying a word, she walked quickly and seemed to be angry, so she chased after him and muttered, "Didn't I already Did you leave a message? I have my own measure. When I'm done, I'll go back by myself, why do you have to rush over like this..."

Jiafu stopped abruptly, turned her head and said, "Brother! I'm younger than you, and it's not my turn to talk to you. But when will you be sensible, brother? Do you know why my grandmother decided to marry me into the Pei family? It's because there are fewer men in our family who can stand up and support the family! My father is gone, and my mother expects you to stand up, and she will have someone to rely on in the future. You are not too young, but you still have no rules! I also ask my grandmother to let me learn She doesn't allow her to do things! You can be a mother and divide things for our Zhen family, but you can't be a real person like this! I really hate that I'm not a man..."

Jiafu felt sad for a while, tears welling in her eyes.

Zhen Yaoting panicked when she saw that her sister was about to cry. Jiafu tilted her head, wiped away her tears, and got into the carriage. Zhen Yaoting breathed a sigh of relief. He also got on his horse and followed him all the way back. Seeing that her son was found, Mrs. Meng learned that she had slipped to the Ci'en Temple to disturb Yuzhu in private. Fortunately, Yuzhu was kind and didn't bother with him, so she helped to hide it, so she didn't leave her father behind in front of the old lady and the Pei family. His face was so angry that he grabbed the feather duster and slapped him hard, and Liu Ma and others persuaded and stopped him. In the midst of the chicken flying, the Zhen family's boat finally left the pier and started the road to return to the south.

The waterways of the capital were gradually left behind.

Jiafu remembered clearly that not long ago, when the same big boat under her feet was carrying her slowly into the imperial city along this same busy waterway, her mood at that time was somewhat resolute and a little uneasy. There is still a bit of confusion about the unknown tomorrow.

At that time, she thought, how happy she would be if God had mercy on her and she was lucky enough to finally get rid of this marriage smoothly.

But now, she is not happy. For the first few days, mood was very low, just didn't want mother to notice, and just forced a smile in front of her.

Later, as the days passed, and when the boat was halfway through, Jiafu finally thought about it.

That's all, with the marriage ending like this, I'm sure there won't be much contact with the Pei family in the future. As for Pei You'an, it is even more impossible to meet again. I have achieved my goal, and this is the greatest luck. As for how he thinks about her, what does it matter if the impression is good or bad?

In the last life, he and her met by chance, and after they missed each other, they each had a different life path.

It's been like this all my life.

Quanzhou is coming soon. She still has a lot to do, and living her life well in the future is the most important thing.

Jiafu's mood finally recovered slowly from the depression and depression at the beginning.

On this day, the boat passed by Fuming Island, which was passed by the previous time. It happened to be the last puja before the end of the year at Guanyin Temple. Mrs. Meng decided to bring her daughter to the island again. She went to the temple to donate some sesame oil, and ordered the boat to dock there. He disembarked the island with a pair of children and accompanied him, and went to the Guanyin Temple.

With many pilgrims on the island, there should have been a lively puja. Unexpectedly, when I was about to arrive at Guanyin Temple, I saw many pilgrims swarming out of the temple gate, all with panic on their faces, Madam Meng hurriedly called Zhang Da to ask what was going on, and Zhang Da quickly came back and said, "Ma'am, I can't worship today. Buddha! Let’s go quickly! Many officers and soldiers have come to arrest the monks in the temple, saying that the monks are hiding prisoners!”

Madam Meng was taken aback, and after reciting the Buddha, she was about to go back. She only walked a few steps when she heard shouts behind her, and the pilgrims gave way. Jiafu turned her head and saw many people coming out of the temple gate. The officers and soldiers, mixed with gloomy-eyed Jin Yiwei, detained seven or eight monks who were locked by iron chains, all of them were little novices, no more than thirteen or fourteen years old. The officers and soldiers were all ferocious, some of the little novices were crying, shouting injustice, and some were paralyzed to the ground in fright, and they were forcibly dragged forward. After the group of officers and soldiers escorted the little novice away, they began to discuss and say anything.

What the hell was the criminal, only some 13 or 14-year-old little novice, even Jin Yiwei was dispatched. Madam Meng's face was pale, and she had no time to stay. When the officers and soldiers left, she hurriedly boarded the boat with Jia Fu and her two children. Zhang Da ordered someone to untie the ropes. As the shore approached, one of them shouted at Zhang: "Hey! Are you going to Quanzhou on this boat? Our son is also going to Quanzhou to do business. Today, we passed Fuming Island. We originally thought of coming up and begging for our old lady. It’s a blessing, I don’t want to be caught by officers and soldiers, and the boat has been requisitioned. Can you take us for a ride, the money is indispensable for you!”

Before Jiafu entered the cabin, she turned her head and glanced at random.

Xiao Yintang!

She actually saw Xiao Yintang!

He stood beside the person who had just shouted, squinting slightly, looking at the few official ships that were gradually moving away in the distance. Although he was dressed as an ordinary person, she recognized it at a glance.

Even if he burned him to ashes, she would not admit it!

As if a jiao lei had been struck out of thin air above her head, Jiafu stayed there, her eyes widened, her heart almost jumping out of her throat.
