Chapter 232 Diamond Sutra
This is just a provocation in Xu Xinru's ears, but it is another meaning in Shuiling's heart. She knows better than Xu Xinru's position as a concubine in the family. Even if Xu Xinru is ignorant and she comes to serve Xu Xinru, there is no reason for her to say that she doesn't understand. Shuiling secretly bit her lip, thinking that Mrs. Hou was so rude. If it hadn't been for her wife's desperate desire to marry, and the Xu family was aggrieved persuasion, she would never have wanted to stay here for a long time.
"Li Shaohua, don't go too much! I'm not here to be a slave." Even if Xu Xinru couldn't hear Shaohua's words, she heard a sentence "half a slave", and immediately couldn't help it. She slapped the table and scolded Shaohua. Originally, it was enough for her to be abandoned in the room by Yan Kaizhi last night, and Shaohua even regarded her as a slave.
Shaohua was not moved by her scolding, but said with a smile, "That's right. You haven't toasted tea. You are really not the Yan family. It's better to go back to your own home, and you don't have to be wronged here.
Xu Xinru was stunned, and her heart was not good, and she impulsively said Shaohua.
She entered the gate of Xingyong Houfu after trying to die. Now it has been less than ten hours, and she has been driven back in dismay. It's better to let her die.
The other end was said to be stunned, and the water spirit had cleverly knelt down in front of Shaohua to plead guilty: "Madam, it was just my maidservant's fault. I shouldn't interrupt. Please punish you." Seeing that Shaohua was unmoved, Shuiling just gritted his teeth and slapped his mouth. "Please forgive my aunt for the first time."
Shaohua did not know the identity of Shuiling, but Xu Xinru knew that Shuiling was originally a maid who served the old lady of the Xu family, and later gave it to Xu Zixiang to wait for him to marry and carry his aunt. As a result, because Xu Xinru made such a disturbance, none of the maids around her could make the Xu family feel at ease, so she had to send Shuiling to dowry. From a prospective aunt to a concubine, Shuiling could not help but complain, but she couldn't help it. Xu Zixiang couldn't save her, so Shuiling had to follow Xu Xinru into the Yonghou Mansion.
It can be said that Xu Xin grew up with Shuiling. She is not only a maid beside her grandmother, but also a person who is ready to be a brother and concubine, so she inevitably has more respect for her.
Seeing Shuiling's grievance for himself, Xu Xinru took a deep breath and knelt next to Shuiling and pleaded guilty to Shaohua. Please forgive me."
Xu's behavior made Shaohua more sure that Shuiling's status in the Xu family was extraordinary. Looking at the master and servant kneeling in front of him, their faces were different, which seemed to be a good play.
Shaohua sighed leisurely and looked at their master and servant: "I can't forgive it. I just hope you have thought about it yourself. If you respect this tea, you won't have to regret it. Even if the Xu family comes with the imperial edict, I won't let people go so easily.
"I don't regret it!" Xu Xinru's eyes lit up and looked unexpectedly excited.
Shaohua frowned and didn't know what she was happy about. He opened his mouth and said, "Well, Chuhe, water tea."
If Shaohua's attitude is a provocation to Xu Xinru, then Xu Xinru will know what ** is after this cup of tea. Of course, if Xu Xinru is willing to cause trouble and hides in the yard and live her so-called Yan Kai's concubine's fantasy life, she doesn't mind supporting one more person. However, Xu Xinru tried her best to come in. Knowing that the couple didn't like it, she still insisted on being a concubine. It was even more incredible that she would live in a peaceful life in a remote courtyard than Shaohua would be a female celebrity.
It is not difficult to prevent Xu Xinru, who is impulsive to do things, find a mistake and pick a thorn. How can she be punished to cry and call her mother. It's just because of her mother's relationship, she can't be beaten or scolded, but the way to torture people is usually not limited to the pain of skin and flesh.
Shaohua sighed in his heart that Mrs. Xin held her forehead and lamented that she could not learn how to discipline her concubines, and scolded her for being bullied by her concubines and maids and not allowed to go home to complain. She also said confidently that Yan Kaizhi was not the kind of person who was provocative, and she didn't need to learn these at all.
Just when everyone had their own minds and were in a daze, Chu He had already brought a cup of tea and came out.
Shuiling quickly put a cushion in front of Shaohua and helped Xu Xinru kneel in front of her before taking the tea to Xu Xinru's hand.
"I'll treat you to tea." Xu Xinru raised the teacup in front of Shaohua and whispered.
"What?" Shaohua didn't seem to pay attention and repeated a sentence.
"Please invite your wife to tea!" Xu Xinru took a deep breath and magnified a lot of voice.
But Shaohua was stunned and didn't answer the teacup. He shook his head with a faint angry expression on her face, "Mother Xu, I think you are not happy at all. Since you are so reluctant, why force yourself?" Shuiling looked aside and was anxious, but she was just reprimanded by Shaohua, and she could not speak again at this moment. Instead, Youhan quietly poked Chu He and deliberately raised his eyebrows at her, making Chu He stare back.
Xu Xinru swallowed her anger, straightened her neck, and said in a hard voice, "I'm not unhappy. I've said it."
According to reason, the concubine served tea to his wife and said a few words of compliments. His wife symbolically took a sip, rewarded a red envelope, and said a few auspicious words.
However, Xu Xinru did not regard herself as a concubine at all, let alone compliment her. Shaohua was also happy to carry it with her. Anyway, it was not her who was uncomfortable. If Xu Xin is reluctant, she will probably go home immediately and the door will be open for her at any time. The two had their own thoughts and were in a stalemate. A simple tea ceremony was dragged to the middle of the day.
Shaohua saw that she couldn't wake up, so he had to explain to her, "Who are you? I don't know whose tea I want to drink."
Suddenly, Shaohua felt that it was better to talk to smart people. Even if Jinhua's mouth was mean, at least the two of them could fight fiercely. You don't have to step on her like Xu Xinru. You have to explain to her why I step on it. Where should you feel pain if you step on her like this?
Xu Xinru suddenly realized that no one had told her what to say to toast tea to Shaohua.
She hesitated for a moment and said to herself, "My concubine and concubine Xu Xinru toasted tea to my wife."
"Ai~" Shaohua sighed again, and even Chu He couldn't help laughing.
In her heart, she never knew that her wife was so difficult. A cup of tea made her so picky from beginning to end that the tea was going to be cold. If her mind is a little worse, let her bring a hot tea again and have tos around in the middle of the day. Looking at Xu Xinru's appearance, it was obvious that she couldn't sleep well last night and didn't have enough to eat in the morning, and now her face has turned blue.
"What the hell do you want!" Xu Xinru was selected by her, which was wrong and wrong. Her heart had been furious for a long time, but she was afraid of Shaohua's words, "If you haven't had tea, you are not the Yan family. Where do you fall in love with?"
Shaohua has given up letting Xu Xinru understand the meanings behind the sigh just now, and sighed: "Mrs. Xu, probably your mother hasn't taught you how to be a concubine. My concubine can only claim to be my wife, and you are just an aunt. If you don't recognize your identity, something big will happen in the future. She just wanted Xu Xinru to know that she could only be a concubine when she entered Yan's house. She served them for dinner, and she slept with her doorkeeper.
Whether it is a noble concubine or a good concubine, she is just a standing maid.
This time, Xu Xinru learned very quickly. Without waiting for Shaohua to repeat, she raised the teacup over her head and said in a loud voice, "My concubine Xu Xinru toasts tea to my wife."
Shaohua finally nodded with satisfaction. Looking at Shuiling's distressed side, it was no longer good to make things difficult for Xu Xinru.
Reaching out to pick up the teacup brought by Xu Xinru, he didn't expect that he accidentally knocked over the teacup. The tea splashed on the back of Xu Xinru's hand and only heard a water spirit exclamation, and Xu Xinru's eyes were about to spit out fire. Shaohua was also shocked. He quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands and blamed Chu He: "Ah! Are you okay? Isn't it hot? Look at me being so careless. Chuhe quickly brought the scald cream. You are really the same. Why do you make the tea so hot? You don't care about your wife and I burn my mouth.
Chu He also scared what happened in front of him. He didn't think that Shaohua would knock over the teacup. He only heard Shaohua mutter, "What are you still doing? Hurry up and get the medicine. This thin skin and tender skin is not good if it leaves scars." Chu He hurried out to find the ointment.
And Shuiling has rushed over sadly, holding Xu Xinru's hand and blowing a cool fan.
"It doesn't matter, I don't hurt. Shuiling, go and make another cup of tea. I want to give tea to my wife. Xu Xinru's persistence surprised Shaohua, and Shuiling was also stunned. Seeing her stubborn face, she suddenly didn't know what to do.
"This tea is the same whether you drink it early or late. You should deal with the injury on your hand first, and don't leave a scar. Your mother's family still thinks how much grievance you have suffered in the Xingyong Houfu." Shaohua whispered.
When she mentioned grievances, Xu Xinru actually wanted to cry for a long time, but she had been teased for so long that she would have to be embarrassed to come back for tea next time. She would rather solve it all at once today. Water spirit! Didn't you hear me?"
Youhan was about to open his mouth to scold Xu Xinru for shouting without Shaohua's words, but Shaohua stretched out his hand to stop her voice and motioned her to wait to see what Xu Xinru would do.
Shuiling was shouted, so she had to run out and hurriedly brew a cup of tea and brought it in. At this time, Chu He also came over with the ointment, but Xu Xinru did not want to apply the ointment at all. She took the re-brewed tea by Shuiling, raised it to Shaohua again, and said in a loud voice, "Xu, a concubine, gives tea to my wife."
Shaohua squeezed her lips and seemed to be surprised by Xu Xinru's change. Suddenly, she raised her lips, took the tea steadily, and took a small sip. While she put down the teacup, she heard two heavy sighs and looked at Xu Xinru's master and servant relieved. Shaohua took a scripture from Chu He's hand and gave it to Xu Xinru.
Xu Xinru looked at the Buddhist scriptures inexplicably and only heard Shaohua say, "I should have rewarded you with pearls and gems as a gift, but your dress is more expensive than me, so I suddenly can't think of anything I can give you. However, here is a scripture book that I copied for the old lady. As you must know, the old lady usually has the habit of chanting scriptures. If you have the heart, you can help copy it a few more times to accumulate blessings for the marquis. Otherwise, you can keep it for yourself. It's good for self-cultivation.
After listening to Shaohua's explanation, Xu Xinru almost vomited blood. The reason why she dressed so beautifully was to let Shaohua know that her mother's family was not easy to mess with. Unexpectedly, Shaohua sent her away with a scripture book. Xu Xinru felt a little ridiculous holding this scripture book.
"Why are you doing this?" Yan Kaizhi's appearance attracted everyone's attention.
As soon as Shaohua looked at Xu Xinru, his little face turned red with excitement and immediately rushed over. Yan Kaizhi was so scared that he quickly stretched out his hand to catch it, and softly rushed into Yan Kai's arms in Xu Xinru's resentful eyes.
"Faband, Aunt Xu is offering tea to my concubine. My concubine gave her a copy of the Diamond Sutra. What do you think?" Shaohua's sweet and soft voice stared at Yan Kaizhi.
"As long as you say it." Yan Kaizhi didn't care about what Shaohua sent. He just glanced at Xu Xinru. He was a little annoyed, "If you have nothing to do, go back. Don't wander around."
Before Xu Xinru opened her mouth and said a word, she was expelled. For a moment, her eyes were full of tears. She did not look back and ran out.
Looking at the distant back of the master and servant, Shaohua then left Yan Kaizhi's arms and made a grimace at their backs. Before she could withdraw her tongue, she happened to meet Yan Kaizhi's mocking smile. She smiled awkwardly and said, "What is the marquis going to eat at noon? I'll let someone do it."
Seeing that Shaohua no longer ignored him, Yan Kaizhi also ignored what happened between her and Xu Xinru. Don't bother. I have to go out. I'll come back for dinner tonight. The focus of the words is tonight, and Shaohua nodded shyly.
Because taking a concubine is a private matter, the court will not give a leave. After sending Yan Kaizhi away, Shaohua's heart became extremely comfortable.
Chu He helped her back to her room, but asked curiously, "Madam, why did you send a scripture to Aunt Xu? Isn't it a joke to say it?" There are all kinds of bracelets for sending beads, and it was the first time I heard of the Buddhist scriptures.
Shaohua raised his eyebrows pleasantly, "The Diamond Sutra can open up wisdom and reduce delusions. I hope she won't live up to my expectations."
