Even though Yu Tang had tens of thousands of guesses, this was not the time to think about these matters. They soon arrived at the courtyard where Gu Xi lived, and Yu Tang discovered that the door of the main room was half open, holding a rag and The maid carrying the water came in and out, which showed that Mrs. Shen had indeed left.
Several people suddenly fell silent.
He Xiang, who came to welcome the guests, also had a momentary embarrassment, and quickly explained in a low voice: "Our young lady originally wanted to go down the mountain with Mrs. Shen, but first she fell ill suddenly, and second, Mr. Shen came to pick her up in person. Mrs. Shen, our lady is afraid that Mr. Shen's face will be dull, and it will be difficult to come forward, so I have to let me see Mrs. Shen off." After she finished speaking, she sighed for a long time, and said with a worried face. , "I don't know what to do in the future? Are we going to come and go with Mrs. Shen as before? Or distance ourselves from now on? Our lady doesn't feel disgusted, but she is afraid that Mrs. Shen will feel uncomfortable when she sees our lady."
Isn't this disgusting
If you really don't dislike it, what are you talking about? Even if he can't move in bed, the maid and mother-in-law can help him to see Mrs. Shen off—Mrs. Shen is uncomfortable, isn't there Mr. Shen? Companions do not lose company. Mrs. Shen accompanied Gu Xi to Lin'an, even if there was something wrong with Mrs. Shen, Gu Xi should send Mrs. Shen off because of emotion and reason.
When Yu Tang looked at Gu Xi in his previous life, he always admired her sense of reason and generosity, but at this moment, it doesn't look like that at all.
Maybe it's because she looked up to her a lot in her previous life, and felt guilty towards her a lot. By the time she felt that she could look up to Gu Xi, Yu Tang had already left the Li family, and stood on the opposite side with Gu Xi.
Yu Tang pouted secretly with some disgust.
Third Miss lowered her eyelids and said nothing. Second Miss and Fourth Miss talked to He Xiang with smiles on their faces: "There is no way to do this. No one thought that Mrs. Shen, who is usually cautious in words and deeds, would lose control for a while, and Sister Gu would also be implicated." Asked again She: "Sister Gu, are you okay? Have you taken any medicine?"
He Xiang respectfully replied.
Fifth Miss looked left and right, but hesitated to speak.
Yu Tang stepped forward to hold her hand, and said in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Fifth Miss hesitated for a moment, and seeing several sisters walking in front of her, she whispered: "Sister Yu, I heard that Sister Gu was frightened...but I think she should go with Mrs. Shen... If it were me, I would be embarrassed to live in someone else's house like this..." She blushed as she said, and said in a hurried tone as if she was surprised that she had lost her words, "I don't want her to live in our house, I just think, After all, she came with Mrs. Shen, and Mrs. Shen must be very sad now, she should go to comfort Mrs. Shen... "
Hearing this, Yu Tang wished he could hug the little girl and kiss her. Although this little girl still can't explain the big reason, but because of the pure kindness in her heart, she instinctively knows what can be done and what can't be done.
"I know." Yu Tang also whispered to her, "Everyone's temperament is different, and the way of handling things is also different. Let's take care of ourselves first."
Fifth Miss nodded with a smile on her face, and cheerfully caught up with Fourth Miss, and walked into Gu Xi's room together with Fourth Miss on her arm.
Gu Xi probably got the letter, so she wore a half-new green peony-patterned beanie, her long black hair was casually tied up in a bun, she didn't wear jewelry, she only tied a white scarf on her forehead. Papa, with a haggard face and a bitter smile, came out of the inner room to greet them: "Are you here? Why don't you send a maid to come over first and let me prepare tea and snacks earlier. He Xiang, you go Brew a pot of Xinyang Maojian I brought from home, let Ms. Yu and a few younger sisters taste it too?"
He Xiang smiled and left.
The second lady stepped forward to help Gu Xi in three steps at a time, complaining in her mouth: "Since my sister is not feeling well, don't get out of bed to entertain us. Sister Yu, sister Yu, and the three younger sisters came here because I was thinking about it." You are alone, afraid that you will be lonely in your illness, and you will be thinking wildly, so I will talk to you and relieve your boredom. I didn’t expect you to be tired and you have to spend your energy to entertain us. If we knew this, we should go directly to Sister Yu’s place, Let you rest well."
Gu Xi glanced at Yu Tang with a smile and said, "I'm not tired. I'll be lying down if you don't come. As you said, I can still think wildly. When you come, my place is very lively. Let me Knowing that none of my younger sisters disliked me made me feel much better."
"How could we despise my sister!" Miss Si immediately said sharply, "It's too late for us to feel sorry for my sister? Mrs. Shen is Mrs. Shen, and Sister Gu is Sister Gu. We are not the kind of people who don't know right from wrong. Sister Gu, just go ahead Don't worry. The most important thing is to take good care of your body."
Gu Xi nodded repeatedly, looking very moved.
Yu Tang turned his face away, not wanting to see Gu Xi pretending to be there.
Gu Xi has a strong temper. If she really feels sorry, she will not apologize verbally, but will only try to help you in private. If she thinks she's done the right thing, she can say as much as you want to hear, if she apologizes or apologizes, she doesn't need money.
At this time, Gu Xi obviously didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him.
He Xiang came in with refreshments.
After everyone drank tea and ate a piece or two of snacks, they began to chatter.
Only then did Gu Xi realize that the reason why they came at this time was because Yu Tang was also sick.
The second lady also said very straightforwardly: "If sister Yu reminded me, I would almost have been planning to hang around with you all day."
"Really?" Gu Xi said, glanced at Yu Tang with a smile that was not a smile, and said with authenticity, "I didn't expect Miss Yu to be sick after I got sick."
Yu Tang wanted her to punch the cotton, but he pretended he didn't hear it. Not only was he not angry, but he also looked at Gu Xi with a smile and said, "Yes! I didn't think of that either."
Gu Xi listened, only thinking that Yu Tang was mocking her for pretending to be sick, but she couldn't hold back for a while, and her face sank.
Fifth Miss and Fourth Miss were very surprised, they stared blankly at Gu Xi, at a loss what to do.
The second lady frowned, and was about to speak, but was snatched by the third lady who had been silent all the time: "At that time, big beads of sweat dripped down from Sister Yu's forehead, which scared us all. I invited a doctor for Sister Yu, and I personally read the doctor's prescription before letting the doctor take the medicine, I don't know if Sister Yu is better now?"
She sighed, as if worried.
Both Gu Xi and Yu Tang were secretly surprised. The calm third lady usually doesn't talk much, and when she talks, she hides needles in the cotton. I don't know if she did it on purpose or not? But no matter whether it was intentional or unintentional, Gu Xi couldn't continue talking. Fortunately, there was Yu Tang, she said with a smile: "At that moment, I felt a little uncomfortable, and it will be fine when it passes. Didn't the doctor also say that it's all right?"
Third Miss just smiled and said nothing.
But the atmosphere in the room also became a little stagnant.
Yu Tang looked at Second Miss.
She was the one who wanted to come, and if she had nothing else to do, Yu Tang was going to leave.
She didn't want to see Gu Xi pretending to be sick here.
The second young lady was probably a little embarrassed, she said a few words of concern to Gu Xi, and got up to leave.
Yu Tang couldn't wait more, no matter how Gu Xi tried to persuade him to stay, Yu Tang didn't stay much longer.
The young ladies of the Pei Mansion had lunch at Yu Tang's place. The second young lady may have had nothing to say to Yu Tang, or maybe what happened at Gu Xi's place made her unhappy, so she quickly excused herself to take a lunch break. After leaving, Miss San, Miss Fourth and Miss Fifth stayed with her to make silk flowers in the afternoon.
Yu Tang asked the three young ladies of Pei's family: "Why did Lao An go to Ku'an Temple? There is nothing in Ku'an Temple, so why did Lao An go there?"
The fourth lady exclaimed: "Sister Yu, I don't know about Ku'an Temple at all. How do you know about Ku'an Temple? You also know that there is nothing interesting about Ku'an Temple? Have you ever been to Ku'an Temple?"
Can't we go to Ku'an Temple
Yu Tang had no such impression.
But she is also the impression of a few years later.
Could it be that the Ku'an Temple still doesn't accept other people's incense at this time
Yu Tang was a little uncertain. She had no choice but to say: "I've only heard about it, but I haven't been there. But I think, if Ku'an Temple is so powerful, why is it not well-known in Lin'an City? It can be seen that this temple is nothing special. It's better to go to Zhaoming Temple .At least we can climb the mountain at Zhaoming Temple!"
The third lady laughed beside her, and explained to Yu Tang in a soft voice: "Of course the Kuan Temple is not famous! It is our family temple, and we don't accept incense from outsiders. The uncle and grandmother went there because the Chinese New Year is coming soon." , my uncle and my grandmother are going there to donate incense money to Kuan Temple."
what!
Yu Tang opened his eyes wide.
No, since it is the family temple of the Pei family, how could her aunt's cousin be in the Ku'an temple? And there are so many homeless people in the temple? Some women have lived in the temple for more than ten years. Wasn't the reason why Ku'an Temple took her in at the beginning because there was a cousin of my aunt who became a monk there? By the way, Ku'an Temple does not easily accept outsiders, and those who can enter are recommended by people in the temple. She was introduced by my aunt's cousin back then!
Her mind was in a mess, as if something had happened and she couldn't grasp it. After a while, she sorted out her thoughts and asked the third miss: "The man I know has a husband who died and had no heirs. She was forced to marry by her mother's family." People, that's why I ran to the temple to hide..."
"Are you saying that there are no good people in the temple?" The third lady said unhappily, "Rumors only stop at wise people. It means that we need to read more books, use our brains more, and hear what others say to know what is true and what is true." False. Ku’an Temple took in a lot of homeless female lay Buddhists, but they are all poor and good people. We are educated people, and we can’t neglect others because of their bad experiences! "
Yu Tang smiled wryly.
I didn't expect that one day I would be lectured by a girl who was much younger than me.
She hurriedly said: "I don't mean to look down on them. I just think that since Ku'an Temple is your family's family temple, how could it take in people like my aunt and cousin? What if they don't want to convert to Buddhism? And Not everyone can make up their minds to abide by the Three Refuges and the Five Precepts."
Her great aunt's cousin decided to convert to Buddhism after living in Ku'an Temple for almost ten years.
The third lady tilted her head and looked at Yu Tang, and said, "If they don't want to convert to Buddhism, they won't convert! Anyway, lay Buddhists have a lot of things to do, and our family took in those women just to do something good and help those in need. Helping woman!"
