After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

Chapter 224 Bodhisattva, I hide someone in my heart
The young man looks weak and pale, but his palms are warm and powerful.

Wei Zi looked down at his hand.

Realizing something belatedly, Zhou Xianji let go of her: "I'm sorry. I didn't intend to treat you lightly, but in a trance, I always felt that you were still the young little sister Zizi back then, and I forgot that you are now a girl .”

"It's okay."

Wei Zi said softly.

Stepping into the mountain gate, the two walked along the brick path to the Buddhist hall where the scriptures were preached.

A few young women with hairpins in their buns walked past the two of them together, and said with a smile, "Yishan Temple is the most effective way to seek a child. My siblings have had nothing to do for three years. Last year, I gave two hangings to the Bodhisattvas of Yishan Temple." Incense money, I'm pregnant now! Let's beg today too! By the way, I'll beg my sister for marriage!"

Zhou Xianji glanced at their backs and thought of Xing's words for no reason.

If Xiao Zi is willing, he wants to marry her so that she won't be hurt by those rumors again.

It's just that every time he thinks of the sympathetic knot around Xiao Fengxian's waist during the Qixi Festival, he loses a bit of confidence.

After a long while, he tentatively said: "Xiaozi once said that there is no need to count your marriage contract with me. Could it be that you already have someone you admire in your heart?"

He was so straight to the point, Wei Zi couldn't help but startled.

Deep in my heart, Xiao Fengxian's teeth and claws suddenly appeared.

She likes that bad guy.

However, how dare she tell others about such shady thoughts?
Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she said in a low voice: "Since I returned to Shangjing, Second Highness has treated me the best among my peers, so I don't want to deceive you. I do hide someone in my heart, and I have been hiding it for four full years." But he has a special status. Even if we like each other, we can't be together in this life. I have people hidden in my heart, so I can't accommodate others. I refuse His Highness not only to be responsible to His Highness, but also to be worthy of my own conscience. If If I love one person and marry another, then the marriage will be meaningless."

The Buddha Hall is right in front, and it is faintly visible that there are crowds of people in the hall and incense is flourishing.

The ancient cypresses on both sides of the brick road towered to the sky, and the shadows of the whirling trees shone on Zhou Xianji's white clothes, which was a little bleak and lonely.

His voice was very soft: "But... Xiao Fengxian? That day, I saw the concentric knot he was wearing around his waist. It was woven by you, wasn't it?"

Wei Zi suddenly raised his eyes.

Being peeked into his mind, those peach blossom eyes glistening with water revealed a strong sense of uneasiness.

If she has nothing to do with Xiao Fengxian, it's fine, and it's no big deal to admit who her sweetheart is.

But rather...

But everyone in the world knows that she and Xiao Fengxian were uncles and sisters-in-law.

sister-in-law...

How can you like your brother-in-law?

A sense of shame spread in his heart. After a while, Wei Zi looked away from his blushing face, as if he was shameless: "Does Your Highness also think it's ridiculous?"

Zhou Xianji pursed his lips.

absurd?

Nature is ridiculous.

From ancient times to the present, unless it was a time of war and famine that caused brothers to share wives, or a barbarian outside the Great Wall, it was impossible for a woman to marry her elder brother first and then her younger brother, which was against the rules of etiquette.

But if that person is Xiao Zi...

Zhou Xianji thought, his little sister Zi Zi must have some difficulties.

Xiao Lingxiao faked her death for three years and deceived Xiaozi. She lived in the Xiao family with no one to rely on and struggled. Seeing Xiao Fengxian repeatedly reaching out to her, she was tempted. There was no affection. It was more moving than giving charcoal to each other.

A ripple appeared in the youth's pupils like ice lakes.

He is jealous of Xiao Fengxian, but he loves Wei Zi more.

He said: "It is very painful to fall in love with an unlovable person. Xiao Zi, it is impossible for you to marry him, and it is even more impossible for you not to marry for the rest of your life. The only thing you can do now is to take back that love from him." love."

Wei Zi was silent.

Badly written copybooks can be torn up and rewritten, and dead flowers can be pulled out and replanted in the next spring, but how can such things as human feelings be reborn?

After a long silence, she said: "Please don't tell others, Your Highness."

"Don't worry." Zhou Xianji nodded slightly.

In the huge Buddhist hall, eminent monks are lecturing scriptures in cassocks.

Zhou Xianji stood under the eaves, quietly listening to the Sanskrit sounds in his ears.

Wei Zi didn't know much about Buddhist scriptures, so after listening to them for a while, he took Luyouto to another Buddhist temple.

Luyou suggested: "I heard that the Bodhisattva in this Buddhist temple is very efficacious, why don't the girls go in and ask for marriage?"

Wei Zi stared at the pious believers in the hall, and then looked up at the golden Buddha statue.

The bottom of my heart couldn't help feeling a little loose.

As she stepped into the hall threshold, she happened to see Xue Ziyu kneeling on the futon with Wei Fei Fan.

Xue Ziyu clasped his palms together and muttered something: "Pray to the Bodhisattva to bless Jin'er to marry a noble and virtuous wife, who will inherit the family business of the Duke of Zhenguo in the future, and extend his successors with boundless blessings. Please also protect my fan from being let down by Wei. Zi drags you down, marry a good husband in the future, be rich and prominent, and have a smooth life! Believers wish to worship bright lamp sesame oil every year!"

She burnt the incense carefully and with great reverence.

Wei Feifan followed her to burn incense. They were obviously not related by blood, but their behaviors were extremely similar, as if they were their own mother and daughter.

After they finished offering incense, they were led away by the Zhike monk through the back door of the Buddhist hall.

Wei Zi lowered her head, staring at the embroidered shoe tips exposed from under the skirt.

It was obviously her mother, but even offering incense to pray for blessings, the other party was unwilling to pray for her.

The girl closed her eyes, let out a light breath, and then slowly knelt down on the futon.

She looked up at the golden Buddha statue: "Bodhisattva—"

As soon as he opened his mouth, the tip of his nose became sour, and he was so sad that he choked up and couldn't speak.

The beautiful peach blossom eyes were faintly red, and she barely kept smiling: "I, I have someone hidden in my heart—"

Before he finished speaking, a mountain wind suddenly blew outside.

The mountain wind brought cold rain into the hall, and the flags and flags beside the prayer wheel spun violently. Wei Zi's skirt and cloak also swayed. Clear and bright.

What is she asking for?
Knowing that the relationship between elder sister-in-law and younger uncle is immoral, she even delusionally wants to pray to the Bodhisattva for fulfillment!
Wei Zi stood up and looked out of the hall, the sky was getting gloomy, and there was a hint of rain coming.

A few strands of raven-green temple hair brushed against her snow-white cheeks, she felt lingering fear, and quietly clenched her hands hanging in her sleeves.

She murmured bitterly: "Luyou, you see, even the Bodhisattva doesn't approve of my prayer. I'm afraid he and I are destined to miss each other."

Lunch is a vegetarian meal at Yishan Temple.

Seeing that a heavy rain was about to fall, Wei Feishan suggested: "Why don't we take a short break in the meditation room first, and it won't be too late to go down the mountain after the rain stops. This kind of rain comes and goes quickly, don't worry about not being able to make it back tonight .”

"Then we will follow the girl's arrangements!" Mrs. Xing smiled, "After all, she is a lady from a rich family. Look, everything is well arranged! Mother-in-law, we elders don't have to worry about it at all!"

Wei Feishan smiled slightly, but didn't answer her words.

Xue Ziyu didn't even give Xing a straight look, and went straight to the meditation room with Wei Feifan.

Xiao Dujuan stood in the corridor, reluctantly: "Mother, I'm going to marry into the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, why do I still need to live in this kind of simple meditation room? Why do I have to rest here, I can't wait to go back and prepare the dowry Already!"
