blue bird song

Chapter 20
Brother Yu and sister Qi sat in place, looking at Qing Que with connivance.The two of them are slightly older than Qingque, and they are used to calling themselves brothers and sisters; since they often play together, their friendship has gradually deepened, and they are quite close.They both love and pity Qingque, and are willing to let her go.

Even the Second Young Mistress, seeing that Yingniang had left and Mo Erlang's family had left, felt that Qing Que was alone and helpless, and treated her more patiently than before.No, after the midsummer, the autumn wind is picking up, and she wants to go to Lingquan Temple to rejoice, so she specifically proposed to bring the green bird.

"Lingquan Temple enshrines the third Buddha, which is extremely effective." The second young lady enthusiastically recommended, "In addition, the temple is very elegant and quiet. The clear springs, ancient trees, and Buddhist pagodas of the Northern Wei Dynasty are all worth seeing."

The second young lady showed off her eloquence, and not only was Qing Que tempted, but in the end even Yang Ge became interested, "That Northern Wei Buddhist pagoda is indeed mysterious, brother Yu, sister Qi, little Qing Que, come here Grandpa will show you when the time comes."

Brother Yu, Sister Qi, and Little Qingque all smiled happily.It’s so worth it to be able to go out, see the scenery, and listen to my grandfather’s talk about ancient times!

The Second Young Mistress heard Yang Ge's words, she was greatly surprised, her eyes flickered, she bowed her head and was speechless.

Not only Old Yang Ge, but even Nanny Lin lives in the countryside all year round, with very few entertainments.Hearing that he was going to Lingquan Temple to rejoice, he begged Elder Yang Ge face to face and went with him.

The Second Young Mistress was quite irritable, but she didn't want to say much, she could only make fun of it with a smile all over her face, "This way, it's even more lively."

On this day, there were half a street of carriages parked in front of Yang's house.Yang Ge is always a trouble-free person, but since the female relatives and children have to go out, the maids, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have to bring more.There are no more than five people including the master of the Yang family and Qing Que, and there are many servants and wives who can accompany them, and the momentum is extremely powerful.

Old Yang Ge's carriage was very spacious and spacious, Brother Yu, Sister Qi and Little Qingque all sat in it, chatting and laughing along the way, talking and talking, they were not lonely.

When they arrived at Lingquan Temple, Brother Yu and Sister Qi followed the second young lady to pay respects to the Buddha. Old Yang Ge led the little Qingque, just looking at the scenery.The second young lady really doesn't understand, if you don't respect the Buddha, what are you doing in Lingquan Temple, grandfather?There is also Qingque, the girl's family does not respect gods and Buddhas, which wife can like you.

Nanny Lin is extremely devout, she not only bowed down and offered incense everywhere by herself, but also walked over to persuade Little Qingque, "Niu Niu, hurry up, come and pay your respects."——Actually, she also wanted to persuade Mr. Yang Ge to come , I don't dare.

Qing Que giggled and shook her head, "Nurse, so many people have something to ask the Buddha to bless, but the Buddha is too busy. I feel sorry for him and don't make trouble for him! I, I ask myself in everything, can you tell me? ?”

What kind of nonsense is this? Mother Lin couldn't laugh or cry when she said it.

Old Yang Ge looked at Xiao Qingque with a smile, showing his appreciation and admiration.Wang Tangjing, Wang Tangjing, this child is very similar to you in terms of expression, tone, and manner, but he is much more likable than you.It's just that you don't know that there is another her in the world, which is embarrassing.

Those who worshiped Buddha worshiped Buddha, and those who went out to play. At noon, they all ate vegetarian food at Lingquan Temple.I don't know if it's because the vegetarian food is extraordinarily delicious, or because the children are hungry, but the appetite is very good.Qingque put her head down and ate hard, and after a while, the vegetarian fried lentils in front of her bottomed out.Brother Yu finished a large bowl of rice, and sister Qi praised, "This five-element vegetable soup is really powerful." After drinking two small bowls, it was not enough.

After the fasting meal, she was going to go out of the temple to go back to her residence, but the second young lady suddenly remembered that the Great Compassion Temple was nearby, and she should go to burn incense sticks and add more money for sesame oil.Nanny Lin accompanied the second young lady, and took Brother Yu and Sister Qi to Dabei Nunnery. Qing Que asked, "Is there a good view in Dabei Nunnery?" Elder Yang looks at the Buddhist pagodas of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The second young lady caressed her forehead.How can there be such a chick as Qingque in the world, Lingquan Temple has a good view, so she is willing to appreciate it.If there is no Dabei nunnery, why would you refuse to go?Dare to love you, a little girl's family, who only cares about the scenery.

In Dabei nunnery, the second young lady happened to meet Mrs. Cao, Cao Ji's wife, and she greeted her courteously and had a conversation.Mrs. Cao is a girl from Ningguo's mansion and Deng Qi's aunt. According to her seniority, Qingque should call her "auntie".For Qingque's sake, the Second Young Mistress was very considerate to Mrs. Cao.

Mrs. Cao had a mournful expression on her face, "My mother is old, and her body is not very cheerful these days. The children and grandchildren are all worried. The elder sister-in-law in the capital is eating vegetarian food and praying at home, and the eldest nephew and daughter-in-law even brought their two sisters to Xishan Qingjing nunnery. Clothes, vegetables and food every day, I pray piously in front of the Buddha. Although I am a married woman, I am not bad in terms of filial piety. Is it possible that I am not as good as my nephew and daughter-in-law? I also do morning and evening classes in Dabei Nunnery, and take care of my mother. To cultivate merits and virtues, I only wish her good health and a long life."

The Second Young Mistress sighed, "Your filial piety is truly earth-shattering. With a filial daughter like you, Mrs. Ning Guogong will definitely be in good health and enjoy both happiness and longevity."

Nanny Lin was listening, feeling a little nervous.Mrs. Cao's remarks were not casual, they were clearly aimed at Little Qingque.Mrs. Ning Guogong is Qingque’s great-grandmother. When she fell ill, Mrs. Shizi ate fast at home, and Mrs. Shisun took her daughter to Qingjing Temple to practice. Even Mrs. Cao, a concubine who left the court, had to make this picture attitude.If everything goes as usual for Qingque, it is inevitable that people will not be ridiculed, "I have no elders in my eyes, and I have no respect for elders in my eyes."If Qingque also followed to live in Dabei nunnery, bah!The child just left his adoptive mother and Yingniang, and became a poor little girl, and then lived in this cold nunnery, it would be terrible.

No matter how much she pretends to be a little adult, she is still a child after all.Mother Lin thought of Qingque's weakness at night, her small motionless body in her arms, and her heart ached.

What kind of shit is Ningguo Mansion, it doesn't understand human nature!The child's mother was forced away abruptly, and now he is forcing a six or seven-year-old child again!Nanny Lin's eyes were red, and she glared at Mrs. Cao angrily.

Mrs. Cao couldn't care about the look in the eyes of such a servant as Nanny Lin. She was looking at the second young mistress and said in embarrassment: "It is reasonable to say that Qing Que should also do her best for her great-grandmother. But I don't know, Mr. Ge is not willing to part with it? If Master Ge loves Qing Que too much, I really don't want to part with her, I have nothing to say. However, Qing Que's reputation is not good, it's hard to say."

Nanny Lin was listening, her teeth itching.

The Second Young Mistress took good care of her and replied with a smile, "Although Qing Que is a primary school student of my grandfather, she is also a daughter of Duke Ning's mansion. Mrs. Ning Guo is ill. As a great-granddaughter, how can she not be worried?" Smiling but not laughing, "Qing Que is a good boy with a conscience, so he is naturally worried."

After talking casually, the Second Young Mistress stood up gracefully with a calm expression, "It's getting late, please forgive me for leaving first." Mrs. Cao had no choice but to let the Second Young Mistress drift away.

The Second Young Mistress returned to Lingquan Temple and reported to Elder Yang Ge in detail.Old Yang Ge said gently: "Morning class and evening class, fasting and practicing, it's the same at home, as long as you are devout in your heart. Since Mrs. Ningguo is sick, Xiao Qingque will eat vegetarian these days. Mrs. Ningguo copied the "Diamond Sutra" and offered it to the Buddha."

Nanny Lin was overjoyed, hurriedly asked for the job, went to Dabei Nunnery, and solemnly told Mrs. Cao, "Qing Que heard that Mrs. Ningguo is not very cheerful, and she is depressed and unhappy. From today onwards, Mrs. Ningguo Before she got well, Qing Que was a vegetarian at home and never cared about meat. Mrs. Cao, you don’t know that little Qing Que doesn’t like meat, but the child is filial. For the sake of his great-grandmother, he didn’t even eat meat. "

Nanny Lin spoke in a very grand manner, and then Shi Shiran left.

Mrs. Cao fell on her back in anger.After a while after Mother Lin left, she trembled and said, "Mr. Yang Ge has always spoiled her. How can outsiders know whether she eats meat or is a vegetarian at Yang's house?"

A month later, Old Man Yang ordered someone to send a volume of the "Diamond Sutra" to Mrs. Cao, "Niuniu copied it by herself. Although the brushwork is immature, it is sincere."

Mrs. Cao had no choice but to report to her aunt in the capital tremblingly.Although she has been married for many years, the Cao family has no power and power, and she has to rely on her natal family for a lot of things, so she really dare not disobey the wishes of her aunt.

In Ningguo's mansion in the capital city, Mrs. Xun, the Duke's wife, dropped the teacup in her hand and was furious, "I've been through it all my life, but in the end I can't even control a little girl!"

The Xun family married a capable husband-in-law, who earned her the honor of being the Duke's wife.The son and grandson are more filial than the other, and the daughter-in-law and grandson-in-law are all respectful and obedient in front of her.The only thing that didn't go my way was that my beloved grandson secretly married a flirtatious woman and gave birth to a wild girl.This wild girl's background is not upright, and her temperament is especially unbearable.She tripped up her grandfather and uncle, and she didn't even look at her great-grandmother!Xun's dislike for Qingque was already very strong long before he saw her.After seeing it, it was even more disgusting.

"Love desires its life, and evil desires its death." Although Qing Que is Deng Qi's biological daughter and looks very similar to Deng Qi, Xun's family is annoyed when she thinks of her, wishing there had never been her in this world.

"I am the dignified Mrs. Ning Guogong, the great-grandmother of that wild girl, what can I do with her?" Furious, Xun yelled, "Go, tell that useless person, I'm dying, I won't survive this year!"

Mrs. Sun, the wife of the Shizi, agreed with a low eyebrow and pleasing to the eye, and hurried away.The "that useless" in Xun's mouth was referring to Aunt Cao, the concubine married in Caoji, who quickly sent an urgent letter to Aunt Cao, and that was it.

After sending out the letter, he waited carefully in front of Xun for a long time. Seeing that Xun was lying down angrily, Sun just got out and took care of the homework.

When Mrs. Cao received an urgent letter from the capital, she didn't dare to neglect, and hurried to Yangji.Sitting in the living room of the Yang family, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "My mother is over [-] years old, old and frail, and bedridden. Her old man is always weak and weak. Only when the great-granddaughter kissed her When I go to the nunnery and pray for her day and night in front of the Buddha, I will show a gratified smile..."

The second young lady's eyes flashed with anger.Mrs. Cao's words are so blatant, if the Yang family refuses to allow Qing Que to go to the nunnery, it will be a ulterior motive to alienate flesh and blood.

This is at the door of the house.

Where Qingque lives, the second young lady doesn't care.But the Second Young Mistress is extremely concerned about persecuting the Yang family in this way.

The Second Young Mistress kept a straight face, and ordered the maid to report to Elder Yang Ge, "Take what Mrs. Cao said, without saying a word too much, and not a word less." The maid bent her knees and agreed, and Yingying left.

Mrs. Cao waited anxiously, and the second young mistress made her drink tea and snacks, politely but indifferently.

Not long after, the maid came back, "Master ordered, and according to Mrs. Ningguo's wishes, Qingque went to live in Dabei nunnery for a few days."

Mrs. Cao was ecstatic, and she told the second young lady with a happy face, "So, I'm waiting at Dabei Nunnery." She thanked her again and again, and left contentedly.

In the study, Qing Que smiled and comforted Elder Yang Ge, who looked worried, "Grandpa, apart from not being able to eat meat, there is nothing wrong with it. Anyway, I won't be here for long, and I will come back to accompany you in a few days."

After he finished speaking, he tilted his head and thought about it, then changed his words, "No, I'm bothering you." He smiled innocently and cutely.

Yang Ge always pinched her little face, he couldn't understand in his heart, such a good child, how could Mrs. Ning Guogong, a great-grandmother, get so bored with this?The child lived in Yangji well, but she was full of dissatisfaction and insisted on forcing the child to suffer in a cold nunnery.

At this moment, Yang Ge suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Qingque's mother.If she couldn't resolutely leave Deng Qi, she might, together with Qing Que, linger on under the majesty of Mrs. Ning Guo and never be exalted.

Old Yang Ge looked dazed, and Qing Que came over with a smile, "Don't, grandpa, it's better than being sent back, isn't it?"

Yang Ge took the sensible child into his arms and sighed leisurely, "Niu Niu, you must have a good future."

Mother Lin wiped her tears, packed Qing Que's luggage, prepared the carriage and horses, and went to the Great Compassion Nunnery the next day.After Brother Yu and Sister Qi knew about it, they both said that there is nothing wrong with the Buddhist hall's pure heart, and they also wanted to live in Lingquan Temple and Dabei Nunnery respectively.The second young lady was so frightened that she lost her soul, "Don't think about it!" she sternly reprimanded her son and daughter.

The next day, Qingque drove lightly and went out early in the morning.When it was time to say goodbye, Qing Que proudly bragged to Grandpa, "Heaven will send a great mission to people, that's how it is. Grandpa, I am the one who will do great things!"

Grandpa stroked her little head affectionately, and carried her into the car.

After Qingque's carriage left, Grandpa stood in front of the door, feeling as bleak as the autumn scenery in front of him.Wang Tangjing, let alone me, even if you are in front of us, it would be difficult for us to do anything to the Deng family.Qingque, after all, she is Deng Qi's biological daughter.

At this moment, Qingque should have arrived at the Great Compassion Temple, right?Do you have any food, is the vegetarian dish delicious?At noon, Yang Ge always had a meal, which was tasteless.
