Chapter 26 Buddhist scriptures can't afford
Three poles in the sun, Shan Xiaowu bit the brush stick bitterly, sat on the table without sitting, trembling and trembling with one leg, and looked at the ancestral plaque above her head with a tangled expression - yes, she was punished and imprisoned again and copied the Buddhist scriptures.
In view of the major violation this time, her fox brother had been prepared for a long time to send people to guard the door. Except for delivering food, the servants were not allowed to approach the Buddhist hall for half a step. Even the close maid jade was also ordered to be locked in the kitchen to burn the fire, and Mrs. Shan, who had always loved her, did not say a single voice this time, let The baby daughter cried for a long time and was unmoved, so Shan Xiaowu was sad and angry - Nima is forcing her to support herself!
Of course, in fact, it is not impossible for her to relieve herself. She has been copying Buddhist scriptures for three days since she was a child. Now she can recite it backwards with her eyes closed, and she can write silently without reading.
The problem is that Shan Jinlin was too angry and asked to become abnormal. This time, she can't copy the Buddhist scriptures as usual, but from the last word of the last article. If she writes a wrong word, she has to rewrite it ten times...
She is so worried now. What's the matter?
The door opened with a squeak, and Shan Xiaowu turned his head excitedly, "Second brother."
Shan Baoqian didn't look at her, but ordered twice with the people outside to slowly close the door board. Then he took out a whole stack of copied Buddhist scriptures from his sleeve and shook them in front of Shan Xiaowu.
Shan Xiaowu whimpered and immediately rushed over, but he caught the air. Shan Baoqian hid the thing behind him more quickly than she did, making her hit the door panel with a click.
"Do you want it? Exchange it for silver." Shan Baoqian smiled and held the stack of Buddhist scriptures and fanned the wind. He didn't care whether his little sister was born or died. Anyway, Shan Xiaowu's bones were hard, which has been known to everyone since childhood.
"How much?" Shan Xiaowu was not talkative. He rubbed his painful forehead and got up from the ground.
"Here are fifty copies. It's very laborious to write backwards and deliberately write ugly words, so I charged an extra 31 taels of mental loss, together with the cost of your 'friends' in the restaurant yesterday, which adds up to a total of three hundred and sixty-two or seven dollars," Shan Baoqian put down his golden abacus and stretched out his hand to Shan Xiaowu, "Look. For the sake of you, it's my little sister. Just take the whole number from you.
"Three hundred taels?"
"It's three hundred and sixty-two taels!" Shan Baoqian dug his ears and sinisterly forgot that he had "picked up" the food money left by Benlei in the restaurant that day.
...Sand Baoqian, you are a devil who eats people and doesn't spit out bones!
Shan Xiaowu's face was pale for a long time. In the end, he couldn't match his yearning for freedom. He endured the pain and handed over the 300 taels of silver tickets coaxed from Father Shan a few days ago, together with the glazed blonde hairpin on his head, and then held the stack of Buddhist scriptures into his arms as if he had won the treasure.
With these fifty Buddhist scriptures, her hard days can be shortened by at least half.
So, both silver goods are happy, and both brothers and sisters look happy.
Shan Baoqian ordered the silver ticket and happily hid it in his clothes. After a while, he took out an oil paper bag from the sleeve of the treasure box and handed it to Shan Xiaowu, "Don't say that the second brother doesn't love you. Here, it's for you."
"What is it?"
Shan Xiaowu took it over and smelled a familiar sweet fragrance before he opened it.
"Grilled chestnuts!"
"Second brother, you are so kind!" One minute, he was still cursing others in his heart. The next second, he immediately regarded him as a cute little angel who saved the hardships. Shan Xiaowu came up with thick nerves and pulled Shan Baoqian's sleeve and rubbed it hard.
"Just know that I'm good to you." Shan Baoqian stretched out his slender palm and put it on her head, rubbing her long hair vigorously. Although he loves money and is stingy, it still hurts when he should hurt Shan Xiaowu.
It's just--
"Ah, by the way, even if the chestnuts are repaid together in the next account this time, the interest will be counted as three points for you."
"..."
When Shan Xiaowu was chewing chestnuts happily, a mouthful of chestnut meat was stuck in his throat and almost choked to death.
At dinner, Shan Xiaowu got an amnesty to go out of the Buddhist hall to eat in the hall, but she has been depressed since she came to the table, and she ate very little.
Although Master Shan was ordered by his eldest son not to visit his daughter, he was actually quite worried. At this time, when he saw her, he just held the rice bowl and stared at the food but did not move the chopsticks, so he personally picked up some fried abalone and put it in her bowl. "Good daughter, try this abalone. It's not bad."
Shan Xiaowu looked back sadly and flattened his mouth, "I can't eat it."
"Eh?" Father Shan's eyes stared, and his moustaches curled up, "Are you sick?"
"Yes, this table is full of food that you like to eat. Didn't you eat a lot before?" Mrs. Shan also followed and cared, "Would you like to ask a doctor to have a look?"
Shan Xiaowu shook his head, and then stared at Shan Baoqian angrily. Knowing that what she cooked today was all her favorite dishes, she actually gave her favorite snacks in advance. Well, she couldn't eat any more, but he took the opportunity to eat and despised it!
"..."
Shan Xiaowu accepted the contempt of his sister with a smile on the corners of his eyes. He ate by himself and looked like you could help me. Shan Xiaowu was so angry that he wanted to lift the table.
Shan Jinlin held the rice bowl with an insightful look on his face. He didn't look at Shan Xiaowu. "In my opinion, I'm not sick, I'm full."
How can the pile of chestnut shells under the platform not be found unless the cleaning person is blind?
Mrs. Shan looked up and down with a pair of X-ray sharp eyes, "Ingot, what did you eat?"
"I, that..." Shan Xiaowu just wanted to open his mouth, and Shan Jinlin over there had taken the lead and slowly answered for her, "Stir-fried chestnuts with sugar."
"Brother, you rob my lines!" The poor Chuchu who was finally brewed was forced to break the work, and Shan Xiaowu exploded in an instant.
"You speak slowly." Shan Jinlin didn't feel anything wrong at all, and he was hesitant like something.
Master Shan over there looked at his baby daughter and his eldest son, and suddenly felt interesting, so he also stepped in, "Is it really fried chestnuts?"
"It's charcoal-grilled chestnuts." Shan Baoqian slowly gave the truth.
Shan Xiaowu stared at him angrily, grinding his teeth, and wished he could beat Shan Baoqian's claws to death on the ground.
"I'm full." He patted the chopsticks vigorously, and Shan Xiaowu blushed. He left a sentence and ran out.
Master Shan also stood up and pulled out his hand, "Oh... Good daughter, come back!"
"I'll go and see her." Mrs. Shan put down her bowls and chopsticks, stood up gracefully, nodded to Master Shan, and was helped by the maidservant and went out.
There were only three father and son left at the dinner table, and they suddenly became much cold.
He waved his hand to signal all the servants to leave. Father Shan pinched the iconic beard on his upper lip and frowned into a Sichuan character, "Did you find out who it was yesterday?"
Shan Jinlin put down the wine glass, elegantly wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, lowered his eyes and then wiped his hands. "I have checked. Although I don't know the identity of those two men, I'm sure that they are not 'his'."
"It also looks like a hidden character," Shan Baoqian put down his chopsticks and slowly raised the wine cup. "I heard the jade girl tell the shop Xiaoer that one of them has been wearing a silver mask. Maybe this is a breakthrough."
"It is rumored that people on Xiaoyao Island never show their true faces. Every time they appear, they must be covered with ghost faces. What do you mean, those two people are related to Xiaoyao Island?" Shan Jinlin threw away his handkerchief and looked up at Shan Baoqian, with a smile on his face.
"It's not necessarily, but it doesn't matter." Shan Baoqian paused, drank all the wine in the glass, and frowned involuntarily. "If it's an ordinary islander, forget it, but that man is not a ghost face, but a silver face without impurities. I suspect that his status on Xiaoyao Island should not be low."
Shan Jinlin said nothing. The folding fan in his hand hit the center of his hand again and again, and his eyes seemed to be thinking about something.
Father Shan looked at his two excellent sons. The eldest son was cunning and the youngest son was shrewd. They had not let him worry about anything since they were young. But at this time, why can't he understand what they say?
"What are you two talking about? What about Xiaoyao Island and the mask?" Wasn't he just discussing the about of their ingot?
"Dad, you don't need to know this," Shan Jinlin opened the folding fan, raised his glass with a smile and motioned to Master Shan, and then looked up and drank it. "In a word, you just need to rest assured to live with your mother. We will take care of Yuan Baomei's affairs."
"Oi, I'll leave it to you two."
From some levels, Shan Xiaowu's coarse nerve is also inherited from Master Shan, so as the father of coarse nerves, Father Shan calmly accepted the advice of his eldest son. He should eat and drink, and no longer ask questions.
After a while, the servant hurriedly reported that the county magistrate was visiting. Father Shan was shocked and quickly put down his bowls and chopsticks to greet him.
Congratulations on making a fortune. The four people followed him and hid in the living room for a long time. Then they went back to the yard and reported the meeting to Shan Jinlin one by one. When it was said that Quanzhi County took Quan Fugui to apologize to Shan's father reluctantly, the four people looked even more arrogant, as if Quan Fugui had apologized. It's like them.
Shan Jinlin was reading and enjoying the lotus in the pavilion, while Shan Baoqian was counting today's trophies. Hearing this, he couldn't help giving a thumbs up to his family.
"Brother, it's really yours."
It can be imagined that Quanzhi County can take his son to apologize in person. It can be imagined that yesterday, the eldest brother said that he would go to the county government to talk to Quanzhi County, and he did have a lot of inside information.
Shan Jinlin didn't raise his head. He just waved his hand to congratulate several people for making a fortune and retreat. He slowly turned over another page of the book and asked calmly, "Isn't that swollen face like a pig's head your masterpiece? And in the middle of the night, he hit the ghost and couldn't turn over..."
He glanced at his brother slightly. He narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Second brother, if you want to talk about means, you are not much worse than your brother."
"Hehe..."
Shan Baoqian did not answer, but lowered his head and nodded the silver ticket with a smile. Obviously, he acquiesced to everything.
On the other side, since leaving the dinner table, Mrs. Shan has chased after Shan Xiaowu's room and said a lot as usual. However, Shan Xiaowu looked weak. She just lay on the table and pretended to be dead, and couldn't hear what she was saying at all.
Today, she copied the Buddhist scriptures for a day in the Buddhist hall. Although there were 50 reliefs from Shan Baoqian, the other half still consumed a lot of her time and energy, so that Shan Xiaowu wanted to climb into bed and stand up the corpse before it was all dark.
Mrs. Shan thought that she was losing her temper and had been nagging and persuading her, so in addition to being sleepy, Shan Xiaowu, who was talking about all kinds of impetuousness, wanted to escape from the house in all kinds of ways. She planned to go directly to Yihongyuan to find those sisters who had become familiar with it, and borrowed a bed over there to have a good sleep.
"Okay, mother, I know," he waved his hand impatiently. After listening to the nagging for more than half an hour, Shan Xiaowu finally couldn't stand the lead in raising the white flag and surrendering.
With a bitter face and spirit, he moved his head on Mrs. Shan's shoulder, and Shan Xiaowu yawned, "I really didn't lose my temper... No! I mean, I promise that I won't be angry with my eldest brother and second brother casually in the future. I will be very ladylike and obedient, okay?"
"Oh, that's what you said. I didn't force you."
"Yes, yes, this is voluntary by my daughter. Everything has nothing to do with my mother." Shan Xiaowu just nodded and took the responsibility on himself.
"You girl, I'm not talking about you," Mrs. Shan leaned on her and nodded on her forehead angrily and funny way. "A girl always climbs up and down and runs around. If she gets hurt, you are not young. What if you can't get married then?"
Shan Xiaowu looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water. He half opened his eyes and said, "What are you afraid of? There is no big brother. He said he would support me for the rest of his life.
"Listen to what this is like!" As soon as Mrs. Shan was in a hurry, she stretched out her hand to twist Shan Xiaowu's ears and squeezed her out. "What do you mean by your big brother? Your eldest brother will also get married and work, and then he will come back after marrying his daughter-in-law. One day, I left with your father like this. How much status do you think your sister-in-law can have in this family?
Shan Xiaowu touched his ears and flattered him and hugged Mrs. Shan's arm. "Mom, are you worried that your sister-in-law will deal with me in the future?"
Mrs. Shan clapped her hand, with a hateful face, "You, you, really... really... alas!"
"Okay, Mother, don't worry about it." Shan Xiaowu stood up from the stool and took a detour behind Mrs. Shan and squeezed her shoulder. "Your daughter is so shrewd, capable and popular. Are you afraid that I can be bullied? If I don't bully others, others should read Amitabha!"
"It's up to you." Mrs. Shan stared at her angrily and couldn't help pressing her forehead. "You girl always don't listen. My head makes you dizzy."
"Mother, I'm afraid you're not dizzy, you're tired." With his hands moving his position, Shan Xiaowu controlled his strength and massaged Mrs. Shan's temples. "Let your daughter pinch it for you first, and then let Amber send you back to your room to rest?"
"Like a wild monkey, try to choose some bad things to learn. As soon as you say it, you can change the topic for me," Mrs. Shan shook her head helplessly and sighed. "Forget it, my mother can't say it to you. It's up to you. Just remember to take care of yourself, the girl's family, you should..."
"Thank you, mother. Xiaowu likes you the most."
Before Mrs. Shan began to talk long again, Shan Xiaowu hurriedly interrupted her and spared no effort to massage back and forth with her hands. On the other hand, she scraped her intestines and scraped out all the jokes that came to her stomach. For a long time, Mrs. Shan, who had been helpless, laughed.
Pearl came in and lit the oil lamp. The bright candlelight pulled the figure of the mother and daughter and projected it on the window. From time to time, a woman's cheerful laughter came from the house. In the gradually darkening sky, it looked particularly warm and quiet.
After such a long time, I haven't heard the news. Mr. Shan, who thought that his wife had not dealt with his baby daughter and was about to come to help, stood in front of the moon hole door. Seeing this scene, he pinched his mustache, waved his hand and turned away with Shan Fu with a smile.
