Chapter 22 Dangerous
In the Dongbei Hall, many young masters of the daughters of powerful families in Beijing have gathered. Many of them were seen by Qin Yunuan at the Flower Festival banquet. At this moment, they just sat aside and looked at Shangguan Yi, who was angry in the crowd and Leng Changxi, who was still calm and indifferent.
It's not that they like to watch the bustle, but in this situation, one is a prominent general, and the other is a left-handed woman. No one dares to intervene and has no right to intervene.
"Ceng Changxi, I'm not afraid of you. If you want to drink this cup of tea, you don't want to drink it! You have to drink it too!" Shangguan Yi stood aside with her waist crossed, and her apricot eyes turned red with anger.
As soon as I turned my head, I happened to see Qin Yunuan and Shangguan Rang standing together. I directly pulled Shangguan Rang and said coquettishly, "Brother, you are finally here. Go back and tell my father that it was Leng Changxi who deliberately made things difficult for me. I kindly soaked up the superior Tieguanyin, but I was disliked by others."
Shang Rang looked a little embarrassed. Looking back and forth at the two, he felt that he had fallen into a bellows, and there was a cold wind at both ends.
"Why does Shangguan girl have to be so aggressive?" Compared with Shangguanyi's impatience, Leng Changxi seemed to be so unhurried. He hit the white jade tea cup with his index finger, and a contemptuous and cold smile appeared on his face. "The tea is old, obviously Chen tea. The tea is broken but not fragrant. It is obviously tea slag, and the water for making tea," Leng Changxi pointed his nose and turned his head. "Miss Shangguan, haven't you boiled it yet?"
"Brother." Shangguan Yi turned her head and looked at Shangguan Rang in prayer. When she was alone, she could curse, but when her brother came, she was more dependent on her brother.
Unfortunately, this Shangguan has made the dungry incompetent since childhood, and he is not learned and skillful. He can't argue with his mouth and tongue can't say, "General Leng, you see, this is also the intention of my sister."
Leng Changxi stood up with his hands and looked back and said, "No matter how good the tea is, if it is not carefully soaked, it will be in vain. Miss Shangguan, you can't stand this tea." Obviously, the polite words made Shangguanyi lose face again.
Shangguan put him in a dilemma at this time. In a blink of an eye, he saw Qin Yunuan coming in with him. No matter what, he actually pushed Qin Yunuan out: "Miss Qin San, you help persuade General Leng."
You don't push the noble young master, but let me persuade you? Qin Yunuan subconsciously squeezed her mouth, and her two willow leaves trembled like cicada wings, but these small movements fell into Leng Changxi's eyes.
Before Qin Yunuan could speak, Leng Changxi raised his voice and said, "Mr. Shangguan's words are serious. Everyone came to Wan'an Temple to pray for his family. Why do you need to make it so embarrassed? Just keep your duty."
"Well, you mean I'm ignorant and deliberately caused trouble. When I was a child, your brother praised me for being smart. Why is there such a big difference between your cold family?" Shangguanyi has a young temper and can't stand a little grievance at all.
Leng Changxi looked indifferent, and his painted sword eyebrows raised into a beautiful arc: "What happened before the age of 12, Shangguan still didn't mention it. After all, at that time, Shangguan girl was young and ignorant, and Shangguan didn't pay too much attention to what she said."
Immediately, there were private whispers around, and even Qin Yunuan couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth. This Leng Changxi seemed to be very different from those ordinary battlefield generals.
At that time, a monk came to report outside the door, saying that the Daxiong Treasure Hall was ready and could start praying at any time. Please don't miss the auspicious time.
Everyone went one after another. Sixteen pots of charcoal fire had been ignited in the Daxiong Hall, which made the whole hall as warm as spring. Sixty-four futons were neatly placed, and the maids were waiting outside.
In the hall, there are five Buddhas. In the middle is Sakyamuni Buddha, sitting horizontally on his left foot and his right hand in a ring. He is towering and solemn, and his gold body exudes an irresistible majesty.
The blessing ceremony was presided over by a monk who looked at some faces. He was about 50 years old. He was kind and slightly fat. He wore a red gold embroidered coat and said, "The poor monk's name is Hui'an. Brother Huineng is not feeling well today, so let the poor monk host it on his behalf."
"What's wrong with Master Huineng?" Fang Ziying asked, "It used to be hosted by Master Huineng, and we also have some dusty relationship with Master Huineng. It's reasonable to visit."
"Don't be so troublesome," Hui'an quickly replied, "Brother is just a typhoid cold. Now he just needs to recuperate. It's not good to see people and get into the wind."
Qin Yunuan and Fang Ziying looked at each other, just kneeling on the futon hand in hand.
The blessing ceremony went smoothly. Although Master Huineng was not here, Hui'an also presided over in an orderly manner, and the Buddhist principles were also very close to people's hearts and well-founded.
"May your family be safe and your family life be smooth. Several sisters can find Ruyi Langjun and marry your sister's family." Fang Ziying put her hands together and was extremely religious.
Qin Yunuan also made a secret wish: "I hope that this life will be safe and stable, the traitors will be destroyed, and the villain will be extinct. If Yu Nuan can protect Baochuan's safety and become a talent, the people around him will be worry-free for the rest of their lives. Yu Nuan will definitely come with fragrant candles and red silk to repay his wishes."
While chanting, someone suddenly pointed to the statue of Sakyamuni and exclaimed, "Buddha shed tears!"
"Really, Buddha shed tears, but it was still blood and tears."
Everyone lost their look, and Buddha's tears were a sign of great evil.
Qin Yunuan followed and looked up. Sure enough, she saw a red water stain on the ten-foot-high Buddha statue, leaving a red water stain from the inner side of her eyes and slowly dripping down the outside of her gin cheeks. It looked like tears.
How can the Buddha statue shed tears? Someone must be playing tricks!
"Oh, Buddha shed tears. This is a sign of great evil. Someone here must have offended Buddha and suffered this retribution." Someone shouted in panic.
"It's just a Buddha statue," Fang Ziying pretended to be calm. "Maybe it's just that the paint of the Buddha statue is not dry, and the recently melted snow and the air is wet, so it flowed down."
"I'm afraid, but it's not like this." Li Weijun, who had been silent before, suddenly opened his mouth and said to Qin Yunuan and Fang Ziying, "If there are really any evil or ominous people here, isn't it Sister Yu Nuan?"
Qin Yunuan and Li Weijun's friendship is very shallow, but it was the last Flower Festival banquet. She came with Shangguan Yi fiercely, but this time she only named her name, as if she were prepared. If it weren't for herself, it would be for the person behind her.
"Not necessarily," Qin Yunuan smiled gently, "everyone has a way, today's thing..."
"Buddha's manifestation, there must be demons in this lobby!" Before Qin Yunuan finished speaking, a resolute loud sound penetrated the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and the echo was still ringing among the fragrances of a few towers. It was not someone else who spoke, but Master Hui'an, who presided over the blessing ceremony.
The seats are full of uproar, and all sides are looking at each other.
"You blind monk, what are you talking about," Shangguanyi is the most taboo about these unclean and dirty things. She said angrily, "Today, those who come to pray for blessings are all powerful officials and eunuchs in Beijing. Where did the evil come from? If you have nothing to do, I will go back and let your father cure your crime."
"What if nothing happens but something happens?" Li Weijun's petite face flashed a trace of shadow, "Master Hui'an, please continue."
Half a month ago, Shangguan Yi and Li Weijun still shared the enemy and vented their anger for Qin Yun, but now they have turned against each other. It seems that Shangguan Yi has nothing to do with this matter, but unfortunately, she can't hide the young lady's temper and turned her head and said, "Everyone is here to pray for blessings. Why does Li Weijun always like to provoke trouble?"
"Sister Shangguan, your words are wrong," Li Weijun turned his head, "I'm also checking it out for everyone's good, so that everyone will not misunderstand." Then he urged again, "Master Hui'an, your Dharma is profound, and you must know the dust and customs."
Hui'an only closed his eyes, turned a dragon-eye Buddha beads in his hand, sighed "Amitabha" before he opened his eyes and muttered, "Can any of you be born in May?"
Qin Yunuan was slightly stunned, but soon calmed down. Her expression was still quiet, but some people could see that she was nervous after all. It turned out that this omnipotent and schemetical little woman would also be nervous.
Leng Changxi stared at Qin Yunuan, and their eyes gathered in the warm but cool air. A cold emanating from Leng Changxi's long posture made Qin Yunuan feel like shuttling in the night, fascinated by it, and could not be trapped.
"I remember that Sister Yu Nuan was born in May, right?" A crisp and gentle voice sounded above the hall, "It should be the fifteenth day of May this year."
Qin Yunuan turned around and saw that it was Li Weijun who was talking. This move came towards her. It seemed that Dou Qing'e had really tried her best to deal with her.
Qin Yunuan replied faintly, "I only have one relationship with Sister Li. Sister Li actually remembers Yu Nuan's birthday so clearly. Yu Nuan is really flattered."
"In addition, is there anyone else?" Hui'an pinched the Buddha beads and slowly opened his eyes.
Everyone shook their heads, and the eyes looking at Qin Yunuan gradually changed.
Hui'an continued to pinch the Buddha's pearl and said, "The so-called February birth, defeating parents, May birth, defeating the whole family, is a sign of great evil."
Qin Yunuan replied slowly, "Everyone knows this sentence, but the master seems to have made a mistake about one thing. The daughter is not born in February, and the disadvantage of being born in May is a man."
Hui'an walked to Qin Yunuan and pointed to Qin Yunuan and continued, "Maysheng is indeed a man, but the donor is a girl and a man, which is even more unuspicious."
"Faling," Fang Ziying couldn't help it. "My sister is beautiful. How can she be a girl and a man?"
Hui'an shook her head with a profound look and asked, "Then let me ask you, is there any difficulties for women in childbirth in Qin's mansion recently?"
Qin Yunuan raised her eyebrows and nodded, "Yes, one of my father's aunts had a difficult delivery two months ago, and finally survived with ginseng."
Hui'an didn't seem to expect Qin Yunuan to answer so quickly, and asked more and more confidently, "Recently, has your brother not returned from a long trip, and your father also has a bloody disaster?" Even the women in the family can't avoid it?"
Qin Yunuan smiled softly, "That's right. My brother Qin Linfeng has been traveling far away, and the date of return is not fixed. My father came with the front of the eldest prince Jiangnan and was attacked by an assassin. In order to protect the safety of the eldest son, my father stood up and sprained his arm. And my two sisters, the eldest sister, were injured in the palace, and the second sister was banned for doing something wrong. You are right about every article, master.
After Qin Yunuan finished speaking, the discussion in the hall was even more resounding. Only Leng Changxi was as quiet as a fir in the night, cool and straight. No one knew what he was waiting for. Maybe it was dawn, maybe it was darker than the night.
"Well, it's really a broom star," Li Weijun said in a high voice, "What's the use of a common daughter who has caused the Qin family to live in peace."
"So, the eldest prince was attacked by an assassin and was indirectly dragged down by Miss Qin San? This is implicated in the safety of the prince. Some people are afraid that the world will not be chaotic.
Hui'an just closed his eyes sadly and said, "Amitabha, what a injustice."
"What the master said, but Yu Nuan also has something to say." Qin Yunuan looked sideways slightly, and her face was as pure as a lotus.
