[Qing Chuan] No pet little promise

Song Qing'er smiled dryly: "Mama is just joking, who of us dares to be disrespectful in front of the Buddha."

Wei Rong and the others also looked at each other, everyone knelt respectfully, and you don't have mind reading skills, can you tell who is not pious?

Nanny Zhou sneered: "The masters offended you first." She turned her head and gestured to the little maids around her.

A few little maids stepped forward and leaned over, lifting the palace skirts of a few people.

Wei Rong only felt a chill on her legs. It was hot in summer, and all of them were wearing obscene pants that did not reach the knees, revealing their smooth calves.

A little maid exclaimed.

Nanny Zhou stared at Song Qing'er with an unkind expression, "Song promises what's going on?"

Song Qing'er's face turned pale, and there were thick patches of plaster on both her knees, "Nurse Rong, because my leg hurts unbearably, so I took two plasters to ease the symptoms."

"It's human nature to take medicine when you are sick, but Song promised that this medicine is a bit unusual." Nanny Zhou said in a strange way, while beckoning the maid to come forward, she tore off the ointment from Song Qing'er's leg.

With a soft "chi" sound, Song Qing'er's body trembled, but she didn't know if it was pain or fear.

The palace lady handed the plaster to Nanny Zhou. In the center of the pitch-black plaster, there was a raised layer, which was covered with delicate and soft cotton cloth.

Wei Rong looked at it, really didn't know what to say.Yesterday Song Qing'er deliberately mentioned this opportunistic method in front of her. For a moment, she suspected that this girl was setting it up. Now it seems that she really thought too much!

This girl can be stupid!

"How should Song promise to explain this?" Mother Zhou asked with a sullen face.

Song Qing'er lowered her head, not daring to make a sound.

Mother Zhou raised her voice: "Masters are copying the scriptures here to pray for the emperor's blessing and for the blessing of the Buddha, but to deal with these unspeakable things, there is no trace of piety!"

Song Qing'er shivered, "Mommy, I was just confused for a while, I don't know..."

"This fake plaster is so finely made, I'm afraid it can't be explained by a moment of confusion?" A beautiful and sharp voice came.

Mrs. Li Jiagui brought Dou Changzai and a few official ladies over, ready to work on the "night shift".

Looking at the special plaster in Zhou Nanny's hand, and Song Qing'er's teary eyes, she sneered, "The emperor's illness has not improved for a long time, I'm afraid it's because there are too many sinister things."

Mrs. Li Jia put down her big hat, and turned to Nanny Zhou again, "Mother, please ask Empress Xi to explain this matter."

Seeing that there were more and more people, Nanny Zhou gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty is busy these days, so you don't need to disturb her with such trivial matters. Song promised to go to the side hall to kneel all night as punishment for being young and ignorant."

Determining this matter as being young and ignorant, this kind of punishment has been lightly put down, Song Qing'er nodded quickly, and was helped by the maid to the side hall.

Li Jiagui's face was full of unwillingness, his eyes rolled and fell on Wei Rong again.

"I heard that the plaster that Song promised was given by Wei."

"The nobleman is so well informed," Wei Rong said with a smile, "Yesterday Song promised to go to my place to ask for a few plasters, but I didn't expect her to have such thoughts, after all, she is still a child." child."

Li Jiagui said in a strange voice, "Since we know that Song Ying is still a child, Wei Ying should explain the usage of the plaster carefully to Song Ying, so as not to cause confusion. Besides, if Wei Ying didn't take so much pain to get these plasters, how could it happen?" After all these troubles, Chen promised that such a weak body never complained."

Wei Rong's heart burst into flames. Since she entered the palace, she had never offended Mrs. Li Jia, but she suddenly lost her mind and went crazy and targeted her everywhere.

She immediately faced the Buddha statue, folded her hands reverently, "Buddha is above, believers are sincerely praying for the emperor, if there is any disrespect, please ask the heavens to bring disaster and show it to the Buddha."

Li Jiagui sneered: "The gods and Buddhas are far away in the sky, how can I hear your voice."

Wei Rong ignored her, and continued to say seriously: "The believer is willing to give her [-] years of good life in exchange for the emperor's recovery. I only ask the Buddha to show mercy and protect my emperor."

Everyone in the hall was moved, even though the gods and Buddhas were ethereal, but being able to say such words of wishing to shorten one's life was a sign of piety.

Li Jiagui still wants to say something.

Nanny Zhou interrupted, "Forget it, Wei Xu's promise was just an unintentional mistake. But in the end, this matter happened because of you, so please ask Wei Ying to kneel in the side hall for an hour as a warning to others."

Cut the mess quickly, and the matter is finalized.

Even if Li Jiagui is unwilling, he can only hold back.

And Wei Rong was more depressed than her, dropping a cauldron out of thin air, kneeling for an hour of punishment is easy to say, but hard to practice.

When she went to the side hall, Song Qing'er was kneeling and crying with tears in her eyes.

Seeing her, she cried even harder: "Sister Wei, I'm the one who got you into trouble, and it's all my fault."

Seeing her snot and tears, Wei Rong was speechless.

With your IQ, do you still want to compete for favor?

***

Greetings from Xi Concubine the next day.Everyone was extremely haggard, but Song Qing'er was even worse, being helped in by the maid.

Concubine Xi already knew what had happened, so she reprimanded her a few times and then exposed the matter.

Mrs. Li Jia still wanted to say something, but seeing Xi Concubine's complexion was not good, she had no choice but to calm down.

After paying their respects, everyone went to the Small Buddha Hall as usual.

The little eunuch guarding the Buddhist hall unlocked the door, and everyone filed away. Liu Ying, who entered first, screamed violently.

The scriptures that were originally placed neatly in front of the Buddha were scattered all over the floor, making the entire Buddhist hall messy.

It's no wonder that Liu promised to scream. These were all transcribed with great effort by them. If they were invalidated, they would be killed.

Several young eunuchs who followed in also changed their expressions, it must be because of their ineffective guarding that such a thing happened.

Everyone rushed to the front of the altar and checked it carefully, only to find that the scriptures offered by other people were intact, and there was only one pile scattered on the ground, which was placed at the farthest end and belonged to Li Jiagui.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and the guarding eunuch muttered in a low voice, "This Buddhist hall is locked at night, and there is no wind, how could it be..."

After a while, Nanny Zhou also came, seeing this situation, she was also puzzled.

The Buddhist hall was locked tightly, no one came in at night, why did such a thing happen?If it was blown by the wind, why only this pile was scattered, and the pile next to Dou Chang's was placed properly.

The little maid picked up the scattered papers, and many of them fell on the incense ash and the inkstone, all of which were stained.The most important thing about scriptures for blessing is that there should be no alterations and clerical mistakes, let alone stains.After a brief inventory, more than half of them are unusable.

Li Jiagui, who came over after hearing the news, almost rolled his eyes and passed out.Immediately screamed loudly: "There must be some villains who framed me!"

"My lord, be careful, the doors and windows of this Buddhist hall are closed, and the door of the outer courtyard is also locked, no one enters at all."

"Didn't someone kneel all night last night?"

Song Qing'er choked and said: "Even if the nobleman doesn't like us, he can't slander me out of thin air like this."

Nanny Zhou frowned and said, "Song promised and Wei promised to kneel, they were watched from the beginning to the end, and there was absolutely no way they could leave."

Wei Rong added fuel to the flames: "Mother Mingjian, before the Buddha, who would dare to do such shady things, wouldn't you be afraid of retribution?"

A thought arose in everyone's minds, if it wasn't artificial, could it be that the Buddha really appeared?

Li Jiagui's face turns green and pale.

Wei Rong looked at it with a dark heart.

Of course, it was her masterpiece, which caused me to kneel for an hour, no matter how many nights I had to let her copy it, it would be even.

There were several exclamations from all around, it was Li Jiagui who was so angry and anxious that he rolled his eyes and passed out.

***

"I'm afraid it's just a fake." Song Qing'er muttered softly.

She was walking with Wei Rong on the way back.Because of this accident, it was rare for them to have a vacation, and Nanny Zhou went to report to Xi Concubine anxiously.

After gloating for a while, Song Qing'er finally overcame her excitement, and asked in a low voice, "Sister Wei, what are you talking about about Li Jia's scriptures? It can't be true that the Buddha can't see it."

"How is it possible, maybe it's a mouse." Wei Rong's smile froze in the middle of speaking.

Pooh, isn't this calling yourself a mouse?

Wait, the appearance of stealing food every now and then, doesn't it look like a little mouse hiding in the dark.

"Even if it's really a mouse, it must be a good mouse. Maybe it's a squirrel brought by the Buddha's appearance." Song Qing'er's eyes lit up.

That afternoon, Nanny Zhou announced the results of the investigation.

It was exactly as Wei Rong had guessed.

Mice entered the small Buddhist hall, ate joss sticks, and lost Li Jiagui's scriptures.

I can only trouble Mrs. Li Jia to make up the copy during this period of time.Concubine Xi is considered considerate, she doesn't have to go to the Buddhist hall to kneel to make up, and just transcribe in her bedroom and study.

But even so, it is still a big project for Li Jiagui.
