Return of Jin Yi

Chapter 105 Regret
Yu Xueniang——is the biological mother of Chuci's body.

Hearing that the old lady said that she looked quite similar to Mrs. Yu, Chu Ci slightly hooked the corners of her lips, then looked around the simple living room, held the old lady's hand, and said, "Has grandma lived here all these years?" ?”

The old lady sighed softly, "Yes, the Su family is sorry for your mother, and even more sorry for you...Those years, I will be the one who atones for this family!"

Chuci heard that there was something else in the old lady's words, paused, frowned and asked, "Atonement? Listen to what grandma said, could it be that my mother didn't die of illness, and I wasn't left here because of my destiny?" Qingfeng Daoist Temple?"

The old lady looked at her, and after a long time, she nodded lightly, "You are right, there are other secrets behind your mother's death, and you were not entrusted to the Taoist temple because of some bullshit Taoist order."

"Then why?" Chu Ci sent the old lady's hand, looked at her suspiciously, and tried to hear.

Hearing her question, the old lady glanced at her again, and then said in a deep voice, "Xiang'er, I know what I said, you will have a lot of doubts in your heart, and you don't understand why I, a mother, don't ask My own son... Now I can only tell you that if you wait too long and be disappointed too much, people's hearts will be cold. Up to now, I don't ask for anything else, I only ask you to deal with him When we are with Xiao Yu, if he can save his life, I will serve him forever!"

"Grandmother..." Chu Ci called softly. She really did not expect that when she first entered the Su family's door, she would meet such a sensible elder who was at odds with all the Su family.

The old lady sighed again, then shook her hand and said, "As you can see, I don't have a place to house people here. You'll have to go to the yard prepared for you by the wicked."

"Granddaughter knows!" Chu Cifu saluted.

The old lady said again, "Seeing that you have come back all the way, you are also tired. I will ask Nanny Xia to take you back to rest." As she spoke, she winked at the old nanny beside her again.

The old mother understood, stepped forward immediately, and said to Chuci, "Miss, follow the old slave!"

Chu Ci rushed to the old lady to bless her lower body again, and then walked out with the old mother.

The two left the back room, only to find that Su Kun and Su Dieyi were still waiting outside.

Seeing her coming out, the two of them came up to meet her again. Su Kun looked directly at Nanny Xia, and said in a low voice, "Miss is here with me to guide you, you'd better go back and serve the old lady!"

But Madam Xia didn't seem to have heard Su Kun's explanation, she just stood beside Chu Ci attentively.

Seeing this, Chu Ci had no choice but to say, "Grandmother asked Nanny Xia to send me all the way. Father just takes me to where I live."

"Okay, okay, that's fine!" Su Kun had no objection to what Chu Ci said, and immediately led the way again.

This time I went to the main courtyard in the backyard, called Meixiangyuan.

After passing the steps, Su Kun pointed to the main room and said, "That's where your mother lives."

Chu Ci was silent.

Su Kun pointed to the east wing again, and said, "That's where your brother lives."

Chu Ci remained silent.

Su Dieyi finally found the opportunity, interjected, "I have lived in the West Wing Room since I was a child, since my sister is here, she will live with me."

Chu Ci was stunned when he heard this sentence, "Live with you?"

Su Dieyi nodded again and again, "We should live together as sisters, so our relationship will be deeper."

"Father also arranged this way?" Chu Ci ignored Su Dieyi and looked directly at Su Kun.

A look of embarrassment appeared on Su Kun's face, "A Ci, you also know that my father has been in office for a few years and has no possessions. It is the two-entry house, which is still an ancestral property... Really, there is no other yard for you to live alone Already!"

Chu Ci looked at the man's helpless and flattering face under the moonlight, and couldn't help but snorted softly, "In that case, then wait until you can afford to raise your daughter and pick me up again!"

When the words fell, he turned to leave.

Su Kun was impatient and reached out his hand to stop her.

Chu Ci suddenly turned around, and with a clear smile, he added, "After all, my daughter is already married, and if she wants to move back, she will definitely be dragging her family along."

"Don't talk about anything else, let's just say that it will be inconvenient for my sister to live with her brother-in-law when she is about to get married!"

"This... what you said is also reasonable!" Su Kun was speechless by Chu Ci, and the distressed look on his face became more serious.

Seeing his appearance, Chu Ci twitched his lips slightly, turned and walked out.

This time, Su Kun didn't stop him any more, but just signaled Su Dieyi to follow and send Chu Ci off.

After hearing what Su Dieyi meant, Chu Ci glanced at her coldly from the side, and said, "You don't have to bother my sister, my servants will come to pick me up!"

After arriving at the door, there was indeed a luxurious carriage parked outside.

When Chu Ci left the palace, he secretly ordered Zhejin to let Qingyi prepare it.

And the man standing with his arms folded beside the carriage was Qing Yi and Qing Er.

"I'd better give my sister a ride!" Su Dieyi was anxious to develop a relationship with Chu Ci, and quickly grabbed her sleeve and said.

Chu Ci turned around, but still refused, "Our sisters will have a long life, so why bother to fight for a while!" As he said, he twisted a silver needle and pierced her arm.

Su Dieyi let go of the pain, while Chu Ci turned around and got on the carriage gracefully.

Then, the horse that travels thousands of miles a day ran away like an arrow leaving the string.

Su Dieyi could only stand on the spot and stomp her feet, cursing bitterly, "Isn't it just a seductive fox, what's the big deal, one day, I want you to kneel at my feet and beg for mercy!"

At the same time, Su Mansion, Meixiang Courtyard.

After Su Kun entered the main room, he briefly told Xiao Yu about rebuilding the ancestral house.

After hearing this, Xiao Yu frowned, looked at Su Kun through the lantern and said, "Master only said to build the house, but where did the money for the house come from?"

"Is it true that the family can't afford any more money?" Su Kun frowned when he heard that Xiao Yu's family was asking for money. I also paid some money for the house, how could I not even have the money to repair the house!"

"That's because the master doesn't know how expensive rice is if he is not in charge of the family!" Xiao Yu's slender eyebrows raised even higher, "The family's food, the medicine for my brother, and the master's entertainment all cost money. Where there is a surplus in the year."

"Then... where's your dowry, and Xueniang's dowry?" Su Kun thought for a moment, approached Xiao Yu with a shy smile, and asked in a low voice.

When Xiao Yu heard the word dowry, the light in her eyes changed, and when she heard Xue Niang who was following behind her, her whole body froze again, and there was not even a trace of blood on her palm-sized face.

She bit her lip lightly, her eyes turned red, she turned her head away, pinched the silk handkerchief tightly, and sobbed, "Master, is he even thinking about my dowry now? You don't want to think about it." , once the dowry is used, how will Die Er leave the cabinet in the coming year, and Brother Chong, what will he do with his daughter-in-law?"

But she never mentioned Yu Xueniang.

But Su Kun didn't care about it, and just continued with a stern face, "The marriage of the two children you mentioned, isn't that too early! Besides, the repair of the house is the top priority now... Only after the house is repaired can we get married." Take A Ci back, take back A Ci, recognize the ancestor and return to the clan, then our Su family is the serious in-laws of the Nanjun Wangfu, not to mention anything else, just talk about the filial piety of other people, the annual gift given by the Wangfu , we will be able to receive soft hands. At that time, we are afraid that Die'er will not be able to marry into a noble family, and Chong'er will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law. If you want me to say, the empress in this palace, I am afraid that Die'er in our family also has hope! "

"My master thinks well, but I'm afraid that the eldest lady will turn her face and deny her!" Xiao Yu's heart was more anxious and apprehensive than she expected. Hearing that her husband's thoughts were so beautiful, she couldn't help pouring cold water on him. Come!

But Su Kun didn't seem to care about Xiao Yu's cold water, he just stroked his beard and said with a smile, "If she turns her face in private, you think I would care, as long as I can get by on the surface, everyone will know that I am the son of the Nanjun Prince's Mansion." Father, the father of the number one female doctor in Beijing is enough!"

Xiao Yu snorted, "Then you are not afraid that your good daughter will settle accounts with you?"

Su Kun snorted softly, "I am her father, so maybe she can sue me in front of the emperor!"

Xiao Yu was completely speechless, just held the stove in his hand, and said, "Since you want to be honored by your eldest daughter, you should raise the money for building the house yourself, I don't have it here."

"Then aren't you her mother, her real aunt?" Su Kun got up, stood up abruptly, and pointed at Xiao Yu's nose.

Xiao Yu was choked up and said after a long time, "No matter what you say, I don't have any money here!" After speaking, he ignored her and got up and went back to the inner room to rest.

Su Kun sat in the Nuan Pavilion, feeling very depressed again. After a long time, he stood up and cursed angrily at the inside, "If there is no one, there will be none! I will borrow it from other places, and then I will really become the owner of the Nanjun Prince's Mansion." In-laws, you have been promoted, I will immediately divorce you, you yellow-faced woman!"

Xiao Yu was in the room, and she could clearly hear Su Kun's harsh words!
In a moment of annoyance, he smashed another tea set.

On the other side, it took another half an hour for Chu Ci to return to the Chu residence.

Because she had sent someone to deliver the news in advance, as soon as she entered the door with her front foot, Queen Lu Xiaojun came out with her back foot.

Putting her cold hand into his own, he said, "Qingsi didn't know what he said when he delivered the message, what is going on with the Su family?"

When Chu Ci heard him ask about the Su family, he immediately wrinkled his nose and snorted, "I'm very hungry now, I don't want to mention those bad things, let's talk about it after I have dinner!"

Hearing what she said, King Lu Xiaojun lost his mind and didn't ask any more questions, and directly ordered the dumb girl to set the meal.

The dumb girl moved swiftly, and as soon as she cleaned her hands, four or five small dishes were served on the table.

King Lu Xiaojun personally served her a bowl of Bijaponica rice.

Chu Ci took the chopsticks and started eating contentedly.

After eating, seeing the two children again, and when they were about to go to bed, Chu Ci talked to Lu Xiaojun Wang about the Su family.

After hearing this, King Lu Xiaojun became furious immediately, thumped the bedpost and said, "People's hearts are not enough, this family is like dog skin plaster!"

"Your description is quite appropriate!" Chu Ci hugged his waist and said in agreement.

"Then what are you going to do now? Could it be that they really just let them stick on you like a leech that wants to suck blood and suck you up?"

"Of course not!" In the darkness, Chu Ci's eyes were shining brightly, "I plan to suck their blood before they suck my blood!"

"Oh? Could it be that the lady has a good plan?" Lu Xiaojun Wang approached her and asked in a low voice.

Chu Ci snorted, and then motioned for him to come over, "Sir, it's like this..."

The night passed.

After a while, the Su family didn't come to harass her again.

On this day, Chu Ci was trying on new clothes for the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Party in his dormitory.

Before she took it off, the dumb girl suddenly walked in from the outside and handed Chu Ci a bright red greeting card.

Chu Ci opened it and found that it was Meng Jing's post again, and this time the appointment was still at Deshenglou.

The post said that besides him, Master Jueming would also attend the banquet.

Seeing the words Master Jueming, Chu Ci thought of the poison king Yuan Han who was still waiting for her news.

Forget it, let's consider it to be a teacher, she should go to Desheng Tower for a walk.

Coincidentally, King Lu Xiaojun is also at home today.

After she made up her mind and tried on the new clothes again, she went to the study.

In the study, King Lu Xiaojun is reading a book.

Hearing her footsteps, he raised his head and said with a smile, "The lady is here!"

Chu Ci smiled at him, and then told about Meng Jing's invitation and Master Jueming's company.

After King Lu Xiaojun heard this, he immediately thought of Yuan Han, the poisonous king.

He closed the book in his hand, and frowned slightly, "Young lady, do you want to make sure what Mr. Yuan said is true or not?"

Chu Ci walked behind him, hugged his neck from behind, lowered his head and kissed him on the cheek, "Those who know me, there is none other than Mr. Xianggong!"

"Since that's the case, I have nothing to do left and right, why don't I go for a walk with you!"

"But... the regent's post did not mention the name of the husband..."

"Then I'll wait for you in the box downstairs?" Lu Xiaojun Wang pulled Chu Ci into his arms and bit her hard on the lips.

Chu Ci was in pain from being bitten by him, and couldn't help pinching his ear, and said bitterly, "Are you a dog?"

"Yes!" King Lu Xiaojun bit her face again, and said with a painful smile, "My lady, you are my flesh and bones. I wish I could chew on you day and night every year and every year!"

……

At this time, Yaotai Residence on the third floor of Desheng Building.

Meng Jing and Master Jueming have arrived.

The two sat opposite each other, and Meng Jing made a big gift first, "Thank you Master for lending a helping hand to Xin'er... I will never forget the kindness Master has shown me in this lifetime!"

Master Jueming clasped his hands together and smiled broadly, "My lord is serious. Monks should be merciful!"

"But that day... it was this king who could not live with Master!"

"It's over, the prince doesn't need to worry about it!" Master Jueming seemed to have forgotten that matter, and the expression on his face was still as calm as before.

Seeing that he didn't care about it, Meng Jing felt even more guilty, and made another big gift, "Master Gao De, this king admires him very much."

"Amitabha!" The expression on Master Jueming's face became even lighter.

After the two divided the host and guest, they sat down.

Meng Jing thought about the fates that the master had approved for Xin'er and Xiao Er, and after a moment of contemplation, she asked tentatively, "Can the master approve a life for this king today?"

Master Jueming was taken aback when he heard the words, "I don't know what the lord wants to ask?"

"Marriage." Meng Jing spat out these two words lightly, "This king wants to ask about my marriage."

"This..." Master Jueming took a look at his face, and immediately stammered.

Meng Jing's body stiffened in an instant, "Master, why don't you just say that this king's marriage is really not good?"

"That's not true!" Master Jueming shook his head, "The prince's marriage is not bad, it's just that there are some bumps!"

"Bumpy?" Meng Jing thought of praying for his heart, then thought of Chu Cicai, and after a moment of hesitation, he asked suspiciously, "I don't know, which girl will this king finally have a good relationship with?"

"Buddha Yun: Don't say it!" Hearing his question here, Master Jueming shook his head with an inscrutable look, "However, heavenly secrets can be guessed and cannot be changed. The prince only needs to follow his own heart." Just go and walk every step of the way under your feet!"

Heaven's secrets can be guessed but cannot be changed...

Meng Jing chewed on these seven words.

But he really couldn't figure out what Master Jueming wanted to tell him.

Could it be that he had already seen it in his heart, but he couldn't tell him because of other reasons?

But this result, is he willing?Or is it what he doesn't want?
Just as he was thinking, Han Zhe's voice suddenly came from outside, "Concubine Shizi, the prince and Master Jueming have arrived, please come in!"

After that, within a short while, Chu Ci entered the house.

After standing still in front of the two of them, she bowed respectfully, "I have seen the prince, I have seen Master Jueming!"

"Concubine, please sit down!" Meng Jing pointed to the last round stool in the room and said to Chu Ci.

After Chu Ci sat down, he took a sip of the tea in front of him and asked calmly, "I don't know why the prince invited me and Master Jueming here?"

Hearing Chu Ci's question, Meng Jing paused for a moment, then looked at Master Jueming again, and said, "Master, my king invited you here, the order is first, and second, there is one more thing I want to ask you. be clear."

"You all want to ask about the grievances between the old monk and the old monk's brother, the poison king Yuan Han?" Master Jueming blinked lightly with his insightful eyes, and the next moment, he asked back implicitly.

Chu Ci didn't speak, but just nodded.

Meng Jing said "yes" bluntly, paused, and added, "But if the master doesn't want to say it, I won't force it!"

"It's embarrassing to say this!" Master Jueming looked at the two little dolls in front of him. After a long silence, he gave a soft smile and said, "That happened more than 80 years ago!"

"At that time, my senior brother and I were both disciples of the old abbot of Chengtian Temple. I was the second junior brother, and my senior brother was the first senior brother."

"Maybe it's because I was born in poverty since I was a child. In my daily study, on Zen, and meditation, I always lagged behind my senior brother... That's because I was too young, and I didn't understand the scriptures I read at all. I only knew how to strive for the first place. The seat of an abbot..."

"As time went on, I started to feel resentment towards my senior brother. At that time, I hated him to the extreme. I really wished to kill him, and wished that he would live in pain and despair for the rest of his life."

"It was in such a situation that the elder brother's younger brother in the secular family suddenly became seriously ill. In order to inherit the incense, his family had no choice but to beg him to return to the secular life and go home to marry, give birth to an heir, and then re-ordained after the heir became an adult. Senior brother has the softest heart, so he agreed."

"Afterwards, his family really found a very good fiancee for him. I've seen that woman before. Su Ri'an is not the best in the world, but her temperament is very unique."

"To be honest, the first time I saw her, my heart was moved. However, that woman is the fiancée of the elder brother, and I am really annoyed!"

……

"And then?" Master Hearing Ming suddenly stopped at this point, and Chu Ci compared the past events that Yuan Han had told her, and couldn't help asking.

Master Jueming raised his head and glanced at her lightly when he heard the words, but he couldn't hide the bitterness and remorse on his face, he sighed lowly, and said, "I'm really annoyed. At the same time, the joy of senior brother's return to secular life has also turned into hatred like a poisonous snake... At that time, I was really a poisonous snake!"

"I hibernated by his side. On the surface, I congratulated him, continued to discuss scriptures with him, and waited to drink his wedding wine, but in fact, I took advantage of this time to secretly spend time with his fiancé Mingxiu on the plank road."

"I... made a big mistake. I seduced that beautiful woman with sweet words, and even had a secret relationship with her. But... after all, I don't want to give up the easy-to-get abbot position because she broke her practice, so I When she came to me for the third time and asked me to marry her, I gave her a knife..."

"And then?" Chu Ci looked at Master Jueming's painful face, and couldn't help asking again, "Then she listened to you and committed suicide, right?"

"No, it's not like that!" Master Jueming suddenly became agitated when he heard her say that. He tightly held the teacup on the table with both hands, until the teacup fell apart, and all the pieces fell into his hands. .

He shook his head in pain, and then said word by word, "I didn't give her that knife to make her commit suicide! I wanted her to kill me and then marry my brother, but I never thought of it. She actually... actually used that knife to commit suicide!"

Chu Ci never expected that Master Jueming would say such a thing in the end.

I froze there for a moment.

But Master Jueming seemed to be going crazy. He stood up suddenly and punched the pillar in the room, shaking the whole box three times. He turned his back to the two of them, feeling unbearable pain, " I really didn't think of it! If she knew she would commit suicide, then I would never have given her the knife, or I should have made it clear to her when I gave her the knife!"

"It's my fault! It's all my fault! I'm sorry for Meiniang, and I'm even more sorry for Senior Brother. This ruin will ruin both of them!"

"Since Mei Niang's death, I haven't slept peacefully for so many years, I regret it!"
