Concubine can't do it

Chapter 54
On the morning when she got the news, Hua Wei sat on her knees in front of the futon in the Goddess Temple, listening to the people's discussion, and slowly lowered her body to the ground.

What should come is still here.Not avoided because of her.

This year, at the Yuping Festival, there were many more people talking about the disaster than a hundred years later, and people could be heard shouting or sighing almost everywhere they went.

"Hey, have you heard? Something happened to the screen door! Tens of thousands of people died!"

"Hi! It is estimated that everyone in the southern border has heard about it, how could I not know! It is too miserable!"

"Yeah! It's too miserable! Let me tell you that there were thunderous thunder and heavy rain! Not only did the people at the bottom of the mountain suffer, but the people in the Xiao country on the mountain were not much better! They were all muddy together." It fell to pieces!"

"Isn't that the general surnamed Chu died too! Back then, when he brought people to farm our land, I thought he was a useless little boy. Sure enough, he was the one who did the bad thing! I heard that at that time, Xiao Tao The deputy general earnestly persuaded him to retreat, but he firmly held the military talisman and said no to retreat! He still wanted to stand at the front and die! No, he ran faster than anyone else when something happened, but he was trampled to death by those who ran for his life together Bar!"

Even in the Goddess Temple, there were people talking about it.The Goddess Temple, which used to be quiet and peaceful, couldn't stop like a frying pan.

Hua Wei burned the incense, stood up from the futon, and immediately someone knelt down behind him.Originally wanted to leave, but happened to catch a glimpse of Su Xuan'er kneeling behind her.

It is also necessary to say hello when you see it.Besides, this person is Jun Qingchen's mother.Seeing her kneeling with a worried expression on her face, she kept muttering "Bless my son safe", her appearance was no different from that of an ordinary woman.Hua Weixiu stood aside and sighed softly, only to hear someone beside him say: "Sister Zhengxiu?"

Hua Wei was a little surprised when he heard this.She thought that Lu'er would be persuaded to take care of Jun Qingchen's daily life.But thinking about Jun Qingchen not treating her very well, it is understandable for her to be with Mrs. Jun at this time.

So he nodded to her: "Lu'er, long time no see."

It wasn't long after all.It's only been a little more than a month since the last time.But compared to the past meeting almost every day, this time is indeed a bit longer.

It's just that when Hua Yuxi saw Lu'er again, the feeling of sympathy she had before was gone.

It takes a long time for a person to completely trust a person.But it's easy to make people stop trusting another person. It only needs that person to do something they shouldn't do and then be found out.

Lu'er didn't do anything too extreme.I just pretended to be her a few times and won Mrs. Jun's favor in exchange for my own security.But thinking that this is someone she once trusted very much, she will feel very uncomfortable.

Especially Lu'er's wet eyes when she shared her experience, for her now, it feels hypocritical to think about it.She, who has always been unable to sympathize with herself, has been won over by others.

Lu'er looked as if he had been fed with good food and drink for more than a month, his little face became rounder, and a lot of flesh grew on his body, which made the girl's figure more plump.Seeing that Hua Yuxi had greeted her, she looked at the goddess statue and stopped talking. She rolled her eyes and said, "Is my sister here to make a wish?"

Hua Wei's eyes moved slightly, looking at the goddess's red lips slightly parted: "Yes."

Mrs. Jun, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled, and slowly raised her head to look at Hua Wei, "Why are you here?"

Hua Weixiu bowed first: "I greet Mrs. Jun."

Mrs. Jun frowned and looked at her for a while, then turned around and continued to prostrate on the ground with folded hands.It wasn't until Li Cheng left that she came to Hua Wei's side.

"Didn't Chen'er take you to the screen door? Why are you here?"

Just now, Hua Yuxi guessed that Jun Qingchen didn't tell his mother about it, so he calmly replied: "Mr. Jun changed his mind on the day he was on the road, and didn't take the little girl with him."

"This child!" Mrs. Jun twisted the veil, "He didn't take the deer with him, but he didn't take it with him. He said he wanted to take you, but he didn't even bring you with him! It's really worrying, he must be anxious to kill me That's good!"

Mrs. Jun stomped her feet anxiously, her eyes were red.Lu'er hastened to persuade: "Mother, elder brother is auspicious, he will be fine!"

"Where does he come from?" Mrs. Jun really burst into tears when she heard it, "It's not good for him to have a bad luck, so let him wear a talisman without wearing it! This worry-free child, if he comes out How can I live with something!"

This Mrs. Jun is also upright.

Hua Wei felt helpless, and even wanted to laugh.But this is obviously not the time to laugh.Seeing that Lu'er couldn't persuade her, she thought for a while and said, "Madam Jun, don't worry, Young Master Jun will definitely be fine."

"You didn't go again! How do you know how dangerous it is now!" Mrs. Jun cried so much that she was helped out of the Goddess Temple by Lu'er, and she continued to cry while sitting on the stone bench outside.It attracted many people's attention, but many women cried along with them.

It is probably the son or husband who went to the screen door.

Hua Wei shook her head, leaned closer and said in a low voice: "I really don't know how dangerous it is there. But I know that all important people who died in this natural disaster have already passed the news of their death. If they didn't If it is reported, the chance of surviving must be greater than death. Mr. Jun is not an ordinary soldier, if something happens to him, the news will spread quickly. Now we don't hear any news about him, it should be because he is still fine."

Mrs. Jun's body trembled slightly, but her crying became quieter.He straightened up and wiped away his tears, watching the common people worryingly queuing up to the Goddess Temple, he sighed and closed his eyes.

"I'll know the news before they do..."

Hua Wei's heart sank a little, but she still said, "Yes."

People are probably like this.When you feel pitiful, compare yourself with others who are more pitiful.Give yourself some comfort.

But those who are more pitiful can only wait helplessly.

Although this year's Yuping Festival is more lively than previous years, it is also much more depressed.The originally small Goddess Temple was crowded with people.Now that we met, I went to ask for a talisman along the way.When the lottery was drawn, Mrs. Jun went first, but she cast the lottery alone, which made Mrs. Jun's face change suddenly.

Lu'er waved an auspicious lottery, and went to ask for a talisman for Mrs. Jun, and Madam Jun led her to burn the lottery.

Hua Wei was last in line, and after busying with them, she went to beg for her own.After shaking for a long time, only one came out.It's just that there are blood-red patterns wrapped around this sign, which are enchanting and weird, wrapping two words in the middle.

Lots.

Seeing her holding a bamboo stick in doubt, the little monk at the side wanted to go up and explain, but when he looked closely, he was surprised and said: "Amitabha, fate has arrived!"

Hua Wei looked at the little monk suspiciously.

The little monk smiled and touched his head, and explained: "The little monk came here to practice at the age of eight, and it has been eight years. I heard that there is only one spiritual stick in this stick, but I have never seen anyone shake it out. I saw it today. Only then did I know that fate has arrived. This spiritual lotus is just suitable for you, the female benefactor."

"Only one?" Hua Weiwei carefully touched the pattern on the bamboo stick, feeling strange, "Does the spirit stick tell good luck or bad luck?"

"Fortune and misfortune follow God's will, fate and longevity. It's not auspicious or inauspicious, but it's a good sign." The little monk said slowly.

Hua Wei was stunned, said "Oh", and planned to put the bamboo stick back into the stick.

Seeing this, the little monk hurriedly stopped him: "Don't do it!"

The bamboo stick was already halfway into the bucket, and Hua Wei pulled it out again when he heard the words.

"This spirit stick belongs to you, the benefactor, so it must always be with you. Don't put it back again." The little monk explained, "The spirit stick is the same as the next lottery. It cannot be returned if it is drawn out. Or take it with you." , or a person with an auspicious sign will set it on fire and burn it down, in short, it will not be re-entered."

"After that... will there be no spiritual lottery in the temple?"

"There will be. But it won't be this one. The next spiritual lottery will wait for his destined person with a new fate."

Hua Weiwei nodded half-understood, and stuffed the magic stick into his sleeve.The wrist was exposed between the sleeves, and Mrs. Jun happened to see the bead chain on her wrist.

"This is..." Mrs. Jun stared straight at her eyes, she reached out to touch it, but hesitated for a moment, and withdrew her hand.

Hua Weiwei didn't understand what was wrong with her, and asked softly, "What's the matter with Mrs. Jun?"

Mrs. Jun shook her head with a pale face: "I'm tired, so I'm going back to Jun's mansion first. The girl is having fun, so please let me know when you hear about Chen'er."

She is Jun Qingchen's own mother, so she knows less information than her?Hua Wei was even more puzzled when she heard this, but she still nodded her head and said, "It's natural. If the little girl has news, she must be the first to inform Madam."

Su Xuan'er nodded, and walked away tiredly supported by Lu'er.

This day seems to have encountered a lot of inexplicable weirdness.After thinking about it for a while, Hua Wei felt that she should follow God's will.There are some things that she can't understand no matter how much she thinks about, and there is no result if she insists on entanglement alone.

After thinking about it, she asked, "Little master, is there a marriage lottery in the Goddess Temple?"

"Yes, yes." The little monk pointed in a direction to her.

Canglan Country believes in the Goddess Sparrow, and does not worship Yuelao or other gods and Buddhas.No matter where you go, there are only magnificent goddess temples decorated.Even the money for building temples comes from the treasury.

Hua Wei walked in the direction pointed by the little monk, and she didn't need to distinguish carefully to see where the marriage lottery was.

Not because of the red line full of trees, but because the pool of marriage is full of young men and women, and many of them are girls from Luoxiangfang.

On this day, even prostitutes will be free for a day to visit the Yuping Festival.Probably because the oiran conference is coming, so many girls come to ask for a lottery, to give myself a little confidence.

Hua Wei walked over and found that Lingluo Qianwan was also there.Ling Luo smiled at her, the red cloth wrapped around her palm was very eye-catching.The lingering red cloth is tied around the wrist, and it is more comfortable to see it fluttering in the wind than Ling Luo holding it tightly in his hand.

Since the other party greeted her with a smile, she didn't want to do him any favors, so she laughed along with her, "What a coincidence."

"It's a coincidence." When Ling Luo went outside, she was as coy as a lady of every family, with the back of her hand covering her red lips and smiling, "I didn't expect that my sister, who has already had a good marriage, would come to ask for a marriage lottery?"

Hua Wei said: "Just walking casually, I came here by accident. Now that I'm here, it's good to have a look."

"Oh, so that's the case." Ling Luo nodded, "Then I wish my sister a good lottery and marry Shaoqing as soon as possible. Avoid the ups and downs of right and wrong."

"Sister Cheng's auspicious words." Hua Wei looked at the huge banyan tree in the middle of the Marriage Pool, and there were countless red cloth strips blown by the wind.

In Canglan, there will be such a huge banyan tree in every goddess temple.Standing in the middle of the Marriage Pool, there are no bridges or roads around, so the two had to work together at the same time, and it took a lot of effort to hang the red cloth with bamboo poles.It is rumored that if you find a marriage with the red cloth strip you asked for from the temple, and then come back here and hang the cloth strip on the tree, the two will be as strong as gold and will never change until death.

But I have also heard that those who love the new and dislike the old will not hesitate to swim in the past and climb up the tree, but also tear down the red cloth strips that were once hung on it, and the marriage will be broken.

Marriage tree, in the end, is just a beautiful fantasy for some people, so don't take it too seriously.Even though he has encountered many weird and mysterious things, Hua Weixiu still keeps a respectful distance from the word marriage.

Came here just to have a look.

Hua Weiwei said to herself like this, bit her lip, lowered her eyes and raised the marriage lottery.

It is said that sincerity leads to success, so what if she is not sincere?She has no intention of liking anyone, no ties to make, just come here to see, what will the legendary Goddess Temple, which is surrounded by spiritual energy, tell her?
She shook the stick, trying hard to restrain herself from thinking about anything superfluous, repeating the words "I have no marriage" all over her mind.But at the moment when the lottery was about to fall, someone outside shouted: "There is news from the screen door!"

As the people outside exploded the pot, Hua Weixuan's heart trembled, the word "Qingchen" couldn't help blurting out, and at the same time a bamboo stick fell down.

Before she had time to think about it, she grabbed the bamboo stick without looking at it, got up and rushed out: "What news came from the screen door!"

Too many people.During the clamor, her voice was like a single splash of water in a stormy sea, without causing any waves at all.Whether the men and women outside are concerned or curious, they are discussing and passing on enthusiastically.

"I heard that although General Chu and the people he led were dead, General Tao and the junior deputy general Tao retreated half a mile away as if they had been prepared for a long time! When the disaster happened, General Tao led As the team retreated neatly, there were no casualties, and in the end it was the people led by General Chu they went back to rescue!"

"That's right! Hey, if General Chu is still alive, he probably won't end well. He'll be drowned by every spittle!"

"But don't think so. The screen door is prone to cloudy and thunderstorms at this time. Many people know about it. But at that time, it had never seen rain. General Tao led people back because of a few thunderclaps. Withdrawal, there must be something wrong with it...Maybe something will happen to General Tao this time."

"That depends on how our King Yun talked with the Holy One! Anyway, I am optimistic about General Tao! The best general alive in Canglan Nation, except for Southern Xinjiang, only General Tao is left!"

The other people talked one by one, and it was very messy.But Hua Weiwei seemed to have acquired some powerful ability in an instant, and even listened to all the important words they said.

General Tao has retreated...they are all fine...

Najun Qingchen...

He'll be all right, he'll be all right!Yes, he must be fine!

My mind went blank for a while, and I was dizzy and unsteady.Hua Wei staggered and took a step back, but someone behind her suddenly supported her.

Trembling, she jumped away.

"What a coincidence, Miss Zhengxiu is here." Yu Dongfeng looked at her with burning eyes.

Just as Hua Weiwei came to her senses, she felt uncomfortable under his gaze. She took a small step back and saluted, "Young Master Yu, it's really a coincidence."

"Girl, you don't seem to be looking very well, do you want to see a doctor?" Yu Dong asked thoughtfully.

Hua Wei smiled and said, "I'm sorry for your kindness. It's hot outside and the sun is too strong. I just feel a little uncomfortable after being in the sun for a long time. So I went back to rest."

"It's not even noon yet, so we're going back? Don't you want to play more?" Yu Budong asked.

Immediately, Hua Wei had the urge to say goodbye directly.Knowing that she is not feeling well, you want to let her see a doctor and let her play for a while, how hearty is this?Would rather watch the doctor and play?
Is it because she doesn't know how to get along with people, so she doesn't know their usual habits or what?

Seeing that her complexion was even worse, Yu Butong was slightly angry, and explained: "I just think that girls like girls only have two real rest days a year during the Yuping Festival and New Year's Day, so why not play more?" Walk around, I don't have any malicious intentions."

Hua Wei nodded, and said with a slight smile: "I know it. It's just that I was really uncomfortable in the sun, so I went back first. You just have to enjoy yourself."

Yu Budong nodded, "Go."

After walking a few steps, I heard Yu Budong and the servant behind him say: "She is handsome and beautiful, but she has a really unpleasant personality. With her like this, it would be strange for anyone to look at her, and she will be placed in a courtyard when she is bought back." You don't care about it. I think it's an oiran contest, so let's vote for Miss Lingluo!"

The servant flattered: "The young master is right, Miss Lingluo's figure makes my mouth water!"

Hearing this, Yu Budong gave him a hard look, "Look at how promising you are! Didn't you just take you to play once, look at the way your eyes shine!"

He said this in a moderate voice, and the servants around him burst into laughter.The servant who was said shrank his shoulders, got behind and didn't speak.

The people around were still discussing happily about the screen door, except for a few people wondering why they were laughing, but no one cared about anything else.

Hua Wei put her arms around her belly and quickened her pace.

It wasn't until she walked out of the Goddess Temple that she remembered that the marriage lottery she had drawn had not yet been released.I just turned left and right, but I couldn't find where her marriage lottery was. I just remembered that I heard the news about the screen door, and then ran over anxiously. The marriage lottery was picked up and taken out.

Wait, did she really pick up the marriage lottery?
The more memories get messier, the more I think about it, the more I can't remember it.Hua Wei took out the first spirit stick she shook out, looked at the patterns on it, and sighed.

Forget it, she doesn't want any marriage, so what's the use of getting a marriage lottery.

Originally, she wanted to go around to see the difference between the Yuping Festival at this time and the one in Juanshan a hundred years later, but thinking of what Yu Budong said just now, she decided to return to Xiangfang.

Originally thought that someone like Jun Qingchen who has a bad temper and loves to bully is considered the worst person in Yunlai City.But it turns out that Jun Qingchen is just an early bird.With him tossing in front, it seemed that as long as other people didn't make any big disturbances, they wouldn't do anything too much.

"The young bird can only be covered with bruises, it is better to shrink in the shell. In this world, the most important thing is to be wise and protect yourself."

His words clearly appeared in his mind, as well as his serious and serious expression when he said these words, Hua Wei was suddenly curious.

In Yunlai, no one dared to touch him.Even if he spat ten thousand times on the back and scolded him a thousand times, he still had to bend down in front of him.

But, hasn't he been injured for being an early bird?
Otherwise, how could he say those words?
His world is really far away from hers.But she suddenly wanted to know.

Suddenly, I really wanted to go to the screen door to see him, to see if he was injured, and to see if there was anyone around him to take care of him.

When I came back to my senses, I was taken aback by the thought.Hua Weiwei patted her hot cheek lightly, and looked up at the sun.

"It's so hot..."

It really made her look dazed.

The entrance of Luoxiangfang was rare and deserted.The girls go out to do what they "want to do" on this day, soliciting customers must also be outside, and if they are lucky, they can enter someone's house and make a gorgeous deal.Therefore, although the gate of Luoxiangfang is open, no one cares about it.

As soon as Hua Weiwei entered the front hall, he was shocked by the cool breeze.It happened that Mu Shaoqing came from the side corridor, and seeing her look of being saved, she couldn't help asking, "Zhirou, what's wrong with you? You're covered in sweat, as if you've been washed in water."

Hua Wei just fanned the wind with her palm, and couldn't help complaining: "It's too hot today, why is it so hot! Shaoqing, it's a wise choice for you not to go out. I didn't expect the summer in Yunlai to be so much hotter than Juanshan!" "

Mu Shaoqing was just sitting on the stool when she heard the words and looked up at her, "Juanshan? When have you been to Juanshan?"

Hua Weiwei trembled in his heart, lowered his head slightly, rolled his eyes, and then smiled: "I went there once a long time ago, and the summer there was much cooler than this, so I always remember it, and I really want to go there again if I have a chance. .”

"So that's it." Mu Shaoqing nodded, "Since it's so hot, let Wushuang fetch a bucket of water for you to take a bath. You don't need to perform music today, so you can take a good rest when you come back."

"Okay." Hua Weiwei was waiting for him to let him go, and when he heard this, he immediately lifted up his skirt and ran upstairs.

Mu Shaoqing's eyelashes drooped slightly, she leaned on the back of the chair and looked at her palms, then slowly closed her eyes, her palms also clenched into fists.

In my mind, the small figure who likes to wear light pink gauze is still clearly visible.The timid look on the stage when she held Qin for the first time really caught his heart.

But when did she start to make him feel strange...
