[Red Mansion + Liaozhai] Furong repays her kindness

The black clouds turned over the ink and did not cover the mountains, the white rain jumped into the boat randomly, and the summer rain fell majesticly, dissipating a lot of the sweltering heat.Xiaojiao lay on the side of the boat, everything was gloomy, and he couldn't help feeling boring.Gusu City was built like a chessboard, with one street and one river. Today, Long Qiye took Xiaojiao on a boat when he went out, saying that the guests lived by the water, but it started to rain halfway.

Long Qiye stood in the rain with an oiled paper umbrella, turned her head and smiled at Xiao Jiao, "It's rare to take a boat, you are really unhappy."

"It's raining so hard, I can't see anything clearly." Xiaojiao pouted, "Aren't you going to sit in? Be careful not to get your clothes wet."

"It's okay, it will stop for a while, the summer rain comes and goes quickly. I will take you to see a beauty in a while."

While talking, the rain lightened, the white walls and black tiles, Long Qiye stood facing the water, the white clothes were spotless, and half of the hibiscus face was exposed under the umbrella, it was so beautiful and charming, Xiaojiao said, "You look good enough like this, even better than you Is it?"

Long Qiye turned the umbrella lightly, and shook Xiao Jiao's face with water, "It's prettier than me."

Xiao Jiao wiped his face, "Better looking than you and not as fragrant as you."

Long Qiye was taken aback, then suddenly laughed, "Unfortunately, this beauty is also very fragrant."

"Then she must not be as powerful as you." Xiaojiao muttered.

"So I'm the best in your eyes." Long Qiye laughed even harder, the handle of the umbrella swayed slightly, raindrops fell from the edge of the umbrella, and some splashed on Xiaojiao's body.

Xiao Jiao blushed, wiped her face and hid in the cabin.

Sure enough, in less than a moment, the clouds broke and the sun rose, and the sky cleared after the rain. The boat stopped at the back door of a family, and there were already people waiting there to greet her. People wash and disembark from the boat at the back door, and go shopping on the bridge at the front door. Coming by water, it saves those detours."

"This is what is said in the poem, people are all sleeping in the river." The person who greeted him interjected, talking about the authentic Su Bai, and his heart softened.

"Miss Lianxin will go there in person, and the rainy boat will inevitably go slower." Long Qiye seemed to be unfamiliar with Lianxin, and his tone was flat.

Xiao Jiao poked her head out, and saw the woman in a blue dress, charming and affectionate, she bent down to hold Xiao Jiao, and bursts of lotus fragrance, refreshing, so she is really a fragrant beauty.

Sitting on the second floor, facing the water by the window, Lian Xin personally held a cup of tea for Long Qiye, her gestures were indescribably graceful, "Last time we met, Lian Xin kept the girl's words in mind, it's just karmic reincarnation, I When people in the world of mortals can't see clearly, please ask Miss Long for some enlightenment."

Long Qiye put the tea aside, raised her eyes to look at Lian Xin, still calmly, "Miss thinks she has found the wrong person, and I'm just a person in the world of mortals, I don't know what you want."

Lian Xin's smile froze on her face, as if she was wearing a poor-quality mask, she said sadly, "But Mr. Jiang is innocent, I am a lowly person, and you cannot bear to lose your life for me, Mr. Jiang."

"If the girl has made up her mind, I will make a fragrance for the girl. If it is difficult to give up this life, it will be fine in the next life." Long Qiye saw her hesitating, but did not urge her.

Xiaojiao was bored listening to it, and the spirits and monsters also knew that it was a millennium record to win someone's favor, let alone owe someone else's debt.Suddenly she remembered the name Lian Xin, she was actually a famous singer in the south of the Yangtze River, and she still compared it with Long Qiye, and became depressed.

"Lian Xin was born with the scent of green lotus. My family thought it was a surprise, and she was spoiled since she was a child. But in the end, the family broke up and died, and it became a good sign for the flesh and blood business." Lian Xin smiled wryly, "The girl said that the scent in my mouth was from my previous life. I didn’t pay much attention to the reason why I like to recite the "Miaofa Lotus Sutra", and I have come to this point."

"You and I just met each other once. In this way, it seems that I forced you to die." Long Qiye raised his hand and pushed open the window. The unique fresh breath after the rain made Xiao Jiao take a deep breath.

"Bingdi Lian'er, her heart is so bitter. Mr. Jiang died because of my lovesickness. I understand this kind of friendship but dare not accept it. Song Lang scattered all the family wealth for me, and I am not willing to part with it." Because of talking too much, the room is full of lotus fragrance.

"Young lady invited me here, but she didn't buy the incense, which just delayed me for half a day, Xiaojiao, let's go." Long Qiye seemed impatient with the lotus fragrance, waved his sleeves, and the fragrance of jalan was faintly on his wrist.

Lian Xin gritted her teeth, and knelt down, "Would someone else make it? My maid, Mo Zhu, is sincere to Mr. Jiang, and she will definitely be willing."

Xiao Jiao's eyes widened, why did this person push others to die because she didn't want to, she looks so beautiful, but her heart is so vicious, she hurriedly tugged at the corner of Long Qiye's clothes, "Let's go, I'm so bored here. "

Long Qiye nodded, walked around Lianxin and went out the door, when Xiaojiao turned around at the door, Lianxin had already got up, gnashing her teeth, with an unbearable look of indignation.She tugged at the corner of Long Qiye's clothes again to signal her to take a look, but Long Qiye smiled lightly without looking back, "Did Mr. Jiang really die of lovesickness?"

Lian Xin's face paled in an instant, and she almost collapsed on the ground, she said in horror, "What do you know?"

Long Qiye said nothing, went down the stairs and got on the boat from where he was.On the way back, it started to rain again, but this time Long Qiye was sitting in the cabin with Xiao Jiao, Xiao Jiao pestered her and asked, "Do you know this girl Lianxin? Why is she so bad?"

"So we won't do her business anymore." Long Qiye rolled up her sleeves to reveal the incense ball, the smoke came out from the golden dragon scales, the desolate fragrance mixed with the unique humidity of rainy days, but it was a little more moist,

She patted Xiao Jiao's head, "If you are so good today, let me show you Lian Xin's past life. If you read too much, you will know how to run this business, and see for yourself how to deal with the cause and effect."

The smoke was getting thicker and thicker, gradually making people blinded and dizzy. When Xiaojiao was thinking about making smoked fish, the smoke scattered away.

The young nun wore black robes and sandals, chanted scriptures and practiced day and night. The incense in the nunnery was very prosperous. She saw young girls dressed in simple or gorgeous clothes every day, and finally couldn't help looking at her reflection in the water tank .Even the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha couldn't hide her youthful heart, she touched her cheek facing the shadow in the water, if she dressed up, she would definitely look better than those girls.

When it was time to entertain pilgrims again, I already had an unjust jealousy in my heart.Mrs. Chen has always spoken harshly and instructed them like a maid, so that she often rolled her eyes at Mrs. Chen behind her back, but this day her master saw her.

"You are a monk, how can you act like this?" The master was furious, and beat her with a board, and the injury lasted for a month.The little nun didn't reflect on herself, but instead blamed Mrs. Chen's family.It's just that she didn't show it this time, as the master chanted the Lotus Sutra every day, she got a few words of praise.

Later, Mrs. Chen came back to fulfill her wish when she was pregnant, and she secretly smiled at her husband. She was indeed fair and beautiful, but her smile fascinated Mr. Chen, and he came to see her several times by offering incense.Later, when the incident happened, Mrs. Chen made a big fuss, and the child in her belly was lost.

Xiao Jiao thought, she was so greedy, angry, and hateful that she couldn't let go.As the sound of the rain grew louder, she suddenly realized that she was still on the boat, and Long Qiye was still facing her.

"What then?"

"Later, I didn't know, I could only see this part of cause and effect. Lian Xin did something wrong in her previous life, and she fell into prostitution in this life. The fragrance of green lotus in her mouth is due to her previous life."

"People are really troublesome. They are going to die anyway. I don't know the relationship between life and death. There are so many debts and debts entangled together, my mind is dizzy." Xiaojiao shook his head.

"Yeah, I'm going to die anyway." Long Qiye frowned slightly, "It's a pity that I have to borrow their karma. The way of heaven is permanent, and there will be a karma cycle."

"Is the way of heaven infallible?"

"will not."

Dragon Mansion is not next to the river, so he can only walk a little longer with an umbrella. Xiaojiao is impatient to brave the rain, taking advantage of the heavy rain, he transforms back into his original form and jumps into the river, saying he wants to swim back.The corner of Long Qiye's mouth curled up, but she didn't tell her that the small pond in Longfu was not connected to the waterway outside.

Without the impatient girl, Long Qiye was rarely quiet.She walked slowly on the street, and occasionally someone passed her by in a hurry.She opened the umbrella slightly, looked up into the clouds, and stared steadily for a long time, as if it was the same heavy rain, but she couldn't remember who she walked through with the umbrella.

"It's okay if you don't remember it." She said to herself.

Standing in front of the gate of the Dragon Mansion was a scholar in green clothes, drenched all over. Seeing Long Qiye slowly approaching, he hurriedly stepped forward and made a long bow, "Is he from the Dragon Mansion? Student Song Wen, he is here to buy incense."

"Do you know the rules here?" Long Qiye turned her head to look at him, Song Wen was shocked by her cold gaze, but said firmly, "I know."

"Why do people buy incense?"

"Friend Jiang Yangzhi."

"Miss Lianxin has already looked for me today, and she doesn't want to buy it. Mr. Song really thought about it? Don't delay me for half a day." Long Qiye's tone softened, and he smiled a little.

"It's her business that Lian Xin doesn't want to, I've thought it through very clearly, and I'm asking the girl to make it happen." Song Wen bowed again.

Long Qiye suddenly laughed, "Since you are willing to sacrifice yourself, why don't you surrender yourself for her?"

Song Wen pushed back the wet hair sticking to his face with his hands, and said in a low voice, "Young lady is really a god, I hope you will keep this matter for Lianxin. It's just that if I surrender myself, brother Jiang will not be able to survive. If I don't A life for a life."

"I don't do this kind of business. Mr. Song is like this to pay for someone's crime. Even if the incense floats to the Yan Luo Hall, I am afraid that the Tenth Hall of Yama will not let him go." Long Qiye pushed the door, "Young Master, please go back."

Unwilling to give up, Song Wen stepped forward and grabbed Long Qiye's arm and said, "The girl opens the door to do business, so why don't you do business if you have business?"

"Buying incense pays attention to chance, Mr. Jiang's chance is not on you, and it's useless to force it, it's just a waste of life." Long Qiye didn't change his face.

Xiaojiao saw someone pulling Long Qiye from a long distance, and hurriedly shouted, "Let go of my master, disciple Deng!" As he said that, he was about to rush forward.

There was a person who was faster than her, stepped forward and pulled Song Wen away, and said coldly, "My wife won't sell it if she says it won't be sold, so get out."

Long Qiye shook the hand holding the umbrella, she turned around slowly, looked at the visitor with a little confusion in her eyes, moved her lips, and said after a while, "It was released?"

"It's released."

"Oh." Long Qiye turned around and pushed open the small door. She was still indifferent as usual. Xiaojiao was far away just now, and didn't hear what they said. She trotted all the way and passed through the two of them cleverly. , was about to close the door, but was blocked by a hand, she glared, "What do you want?"

"Go home." The man didn't open an umbrella, but his body was dry, he was wearing a red robe, his hair was tied neatly on the top, he was a bit different from the men Xiao Jiao had seen before.

"You went wrong, this is not your home." Xiao Jiao couldn't use his strength, but the door was pushed open by this man, almost bumping her nose.

"This is my home. My name is Qian Jiang, and you are her apprentice? Why don't you call me Shigong." Qian Jiang rubbed the top of her hair, and loosened the delicate buns while speaking, so embarrassed.

Xiaojiao was so angry that he puffed up his face, thinking that he was actually a puffer fish, "What kind of master?! You are so strange, hurry up and get out."

"You're like her master. You and I are the same in your mouth, and you don't have a name." Long Qiye didn't go far, and stood aside to watch their bickering.

Qian Jiang lowered her head and pinched Xiaojiao's face, pulling, "Don't be angry with your apprentice, look how cute she is."

"Oh! Woohoo!" His hands were so strong that the little Jiao's cheeks almost fell off, "Who are you, you!"

"I'm your master Qian Jiang, didn't you just say that?" Qian Jiang said dissatisfiedly, "Your apprentice really doesn't understand etiquette."

The first you were Xiaojiao, but the latter is Long Qiye.Long Qiye was too lazy to listen and left.Xiaojiao was still rubbing his face, but when he raised his head, he saw Qian Jiang looking at Long Qiye's back without blinking, and felt pitiful again, "Hey, are you really my master? But she hasn't accepted me yet." apprentice."

Qian Jiang snapped her fingers on her forehead, "You and me, I don't have a title, I didn't hear your master just scolded you, and you are not taught at all."

Xiaojiao jumped three feet high, and was picked up by Qian Jiang and thrown into the pond, "The little carp's guts are quite fat, and the meat looks quite fat, too. Let's make soup with you tonight."

The arrival of Qian Jiang was undoubtedly a disaster for Xiaojiao. He actually fished himself out of the pond and boiled it in a soup pot.And I don't know what magic method he used, but she couldn't change her human form.

The water gradually warmed up, although it was very comfortable, but Xiaojiao didn't want to be soup, help me, she splashed the water.

Qian Jiang poked her with a spoon, and said with a smile, "Squeeze out some water, and the soup will boil faster. Would you like to add salt or oil first?"

"You should disembowel and wash it first." Long Qiye appeared at the kitchen door.

"If this is your apprentice, I won't eat it."

"You can eat it, just pay for it, this is a koi carp, it's very expensive." Long Qiye took the soup pot off the fire, and pulled the onion and ginger off Xiaojiao's body,

Qian Jiang raised her hand to hold her hand, but Long Qiye couldn't pull it back, Xiaojiao was anxious in the pot, what should he do if he hurt Long Qiye with so much strength.

"You're still blaming me." Qian Jiang whispered, like a child who did something wrong, "I didn't know that was your apprentice at the time. I thought..."

Long Qiye turned her head away from him indifferently, "If you feel ashamed in your heart, just treat Xiaojiao better."

Qian Jiang touched the silver hairpin in her hair with the other hand, "The Qiantang Water Mansion has also been given to someone else, and now I am a beggar, so I have no choice but to come to you for a soft meal."

"Anything you want." Long Qiye poured Xiaojiao back into the water with the pot in his hand, and went back to his room to rest.

The next day someone knocked on the door, but it was Song Wen who came again, and Xiao Jiao said impatiently, "Why is it you again, didn't you say you won't sell you?"

Song Wen bowed again and again, "I also ask the girl to be perfect."

Xiaojiao was about to slam the door again, Long Qiye suddenly poked his head out from the room, "Forget it, invite Mr. Song to come in for a cup of tea."

Xiaojiao didn't dislike Song Wen very much, and asked him to sit in the gazebo, and poured another glass of water. She couldn't help it, she didn't know how to make tea.

Long Qiye sat across from Song Wen, and before Song Wen could open his mouth, he said, "Young Master Jiang was poisoned by Miss Lianxin."

"So the girl already knew about it." Song Wen had been tortured for the past few days, and he was already emaciated. "I only found out after hearing Lian Xin and Mo Zhu quarreling."

Although Lian Xin lives alone in a small building and looks elegant, she is also a girl from a brothel, and she is greeted and sent to play music to make amends, but because of her status, she only sees one person a day.Jiang Yangzhi and Song Wen were classmates in the same academy, they both fell in love with Lianxin and spent a lot of money.

But Lian Xin likes Song Wen, and often asks the girl Mo Zhu to send money to Song Wen.So far, it's just a clichéd story. I don't want Jiang Yangzhi to want to redeem Lian Xin's body and marry him back home as a concubine.

Of course the Jiang family refused, and kept Jiang Yangzhi at home. They didn't want Jiang Yangzhi to see Lianxin for more than a month, and died of lovesickness.

That day Song Wen went to Lian Xin to listen to the piano, he didn't want to hear the girl Mo Zhu question Lian Xin, "Young lady knows that Mr. Jiang is infatuated with you, why did you want to kill him?"

Lian Xin's tone was resentment that Song Wen had never heard before, "He wished to redeem me, but he didn't ask me if I wanted to. He and Song Lang were classmates and friends, so why did he break us up?"

When Jiang Yangzhi came for the last time, Lian Xin personally made him a bowl of lotus seed soup. Jiang Yangzhi chewed a mouthful of lotus seeds and found it bitter, but Lian Xin said, "I did this specially for the young master, but Lian Xin bitterly tasted it and got angry. Doesn't the young master hate Lian Xin?"

With a pun and a lot of tenderness, Jiang Yangzhi said that he would drink up a bowl of life-threatening soup.The medicine was as bitter as lotus heart, but it took a long time to take effect. It took a full month before Jiang Yangzhi died.

Long Qiye said, "I thought this matter had nothing to do with you. I didn't want you to be involved in this cause and effect, so I sold you a taste of incense. I will see you at Jiang's house tomorrow night. I dare not say whether it is effective or not."

Xiaojiao ran back and forth to prepare things for Long Qiye. Seeing Qian Jiang idling, he stuffed the heaviest copper incense burner into his hand, "Master also has to work, hurry up and give it to Qiye I have to peel the lotus seeds."

Qian Jiang rubbed her head again, took the incense burner and went to look for Long Qiye by the water, Long Qiye was sitting on the ground by the willow tree, saw him and said, "This smells delicious, we have to wait for someone else."

"If it's useless, then it's useless. Life and death are life and death. Wealth is in the sky." Qian Jiang sat down next to her, "Why are you selling incense? You didn't know how to make incense before."

"It's just a pig. After so many years, it's time to learn it." Long Qiye put the copper incense burner aside and lit three Buddhist incense sticks, "I thought Mr. Jiang was Mrs. Chen in the previous life, and he needed Lian Xin to pay off the debt with his life." , but looking at it now, he is actually an irrelevant person. The one Lian Xin wants to pay off is Song Wen."

In the previous life, because of a little jealousy, the house was restless and the child in the womb was lost. In this life, I will give you a love debt, and let you commit murder for this creditor, and you will die.

"The word love is unpredictable."

When mortals encounter love, they only think it is fate in the previous life, but they don't know that it may also be a sinful debt.

Qian Jiang said, "Maybe they are all irrelevant people. The cause and effect accumulated in previous lives, even the Buddha can't understand it. The reason I can see is that Lian Xin killed Jiang so-and-so, a life for a life."

Xiaojiao peeled a bowl full of lotus seeds, and Long Qiye sliced ​​open the lotus seeds, took out the lotus core, and threw it into the incense burner, and there was a mess of green lotus, sandalwood, etc. in the pond.

She said, "This group of love debts is messy, and today's incense is also messy."

Long Qiye only brought Xiaojiao with her, and still carried a faint blue glazed lantern, before she left the Dragon Mansion, she saw Lian Xin standing at the entrance of the alley, dressed like a ghost in white, with the fragrance of lotus floating.

"How can you sell incense to Mr. Song? You evil fairy, I will report to the customs and arrest you." Lian Xin's eyes were red and bloodshot.

Long Qiye walked past her unhurriedly, "Then I have to trouble Miss Lianxin to explain the bowl of lotus seed soup to the government."

"You have no proof."

"Oh? Where's Miss Lianxin's girl, Mo Zhu?"

Lian Xin's complexion was very strange, and Long Qiye's smile was very scary even under the blue light, "Greed, anger, ignorance, hatred can't be broken, and killing evil can't be filled. Since you know that Song Wen has a deep love for you, why don't you close the door for him?" Thank you?"

"People can't help themselves in the wind and dust, how can an innocent girl like you understand."

"You have worked hard to keep countless benefactors, and you are quite famous now. You are greedy for Jiang Yangzhi's money, but you also blame Jiang Yangzhi for breaking up you and Song Wen. It is really interesting." Long Qiye walked away with the wait , Leaving Lianxin in place, Xiaojiao looked back and felt that her appearance was too scary, so she leaned closer to Long Qiye.

Halfway through, Long Qiye said, "Did you smell blood just now?"

"Ah?" Xiaojiao was surprised, "Where is the smell of blood?"

"On Lian Xin. Her bloody smell has overwhelmed her lotus fragrance. If she wants to step out of the world in this life, she can't go back. If she can concentrate on worshiping the Buddha in this life and not be greedy for the world of mortals, the cause and effect of the previous life will be understood. .”

Xiaojiao said, "But if you ask people to recite the Buddha's name, if they want to be vegetarian or fast, who would be willing to do so, of course it's only after enjoying it in this life."

He shook his head while talking, "It's too troublesome, it's better to be a fish in this past life, and not to enter reincarnation."

Long Qiye nodded, "Yeah, I'm a little hungry if I don't reincarnate and enter the soup pot."

The two were talking, and they arrived at the Jiang Mansion a quarter before Zishi. The Jiang Mansion was brightly lit, and there were still people watching the night in front of the mourning hall. Facing the people in the Jiang Mansion, Long Qiye said, "Mr. The seven orifices will wake up."

Song Wen regarded death as home, only thinking that Long Qiye was fooling the Jiang family. Seeing that he was going to die calmly, Long Qiye said calmly, "Mr. .”

Song Wen was both surprised and happy, and thanked him again and again, causing Xiao Jiao to roll his eyes several times.It was very easy to get rid of the crowd, Xiaojiao had experience this time, and was always paying attention to the glazed lamp.

Long Qiye still lighted a stick of Shenglingxiao incense first, and then the soul-returning incense. Xiaojiao asked, "Is this incense called lotus core?"

"I don't like the fragrance this time, so I can't afford a name. Call him whatever you want."

The censer she chose this time is also weird, she uses a copper censer like in a temple, and she lights three sticks of incense sticks like worshiping Buddha. Mouth bitter, really sad.

After a few minutes, Jiang Yangzhi sat up from the coffin. Fortunately, there was no one else, otherwise several people would be scared to death.He didn't know that he walked around the gate of hell, and he just took a long sleep.

The Jiang family regarded Long Qiye as a god, and held several plates of gold and silver, but Long Qiye didn't even look at it, and ordered a coral ornament half a person's height in the corner of the room, Mrs. Jiang said, "This coral is not easy to get, I will send someone to buy it." Send it back to the girl."

But Long Qiye said, "No need, someone is here to pick you up."

When they got to the door, Qian Jiang was already waiting at the door, and she also carried a glazed lamp, but it was white, illuminating half the street.

A few days later, Xiaojiao went out for a stroll, and heard people outside saying that Lian Xin killed her maid, was captured by the government, and sentenced to beheaded.

Xiaojiao hurriedly ran back all the way, pulled Long Qiye and said, "I heard that Lian Xin killed someone, so you smelled blood that day, right?"

Long Qiye looked at her for a while, then suddenly reached out and stuffed a lotus core into her mouth, "Go to the fireworks, your smoke is too heavy, your nose is not working well, you can't even smell such a strong smell of blood .”

Because of this handful of lotus cores, Xiaojiao's mouth was bitter for three days, and he cried when he ate everything. Yusheng was really hard.
