Yu Youniang knelt on the futon in front of the golden bronze statue of Shakya Buddha in Shamen Temple in the new town of Shamen Town, holding ten in both palms, and prayed with her eyes closed very reverently. The hall is very quiet, this is only a side hall, and the body of the Buddha in the shrine is only a bronze statue of human height. There were two maids and two disabled veterans standing outside the side hall, and the hall was quiet and undisturbed.

While chanting the prayer, Yu Youniang slowly rotated a string of sandalwood Buddha beads in her hand.

This string of sandalwood Buddha beads is a gift from Li Jing after returning from Liaohai last time, she is the same as the county lord and Xiao Yuniang, the county lord's gift is a jade Ruyi, Xiao Yuniang's is an east pearl, and she got a string of sandalwood Buddha beads. This string of Buddha beads is very precious, one hundred and eight sandalwood Buddha beads, actually painted and carved one hundred and eight different Buddhas, lifelike, the law is strict.

Although this string of Buddhist beads certainly cannot be compared with the county lord's jade Ruyi and Xiao Yuniang's huge East Pearl, in her heart, this string of Buddhist beads is very much liked by her, and she feels reluctant to leave her hand when she sees it. Since then, he has carried it with him every day, and he must hold Buddhist beads and chant sutras and pray every morning and evening.

"Pray that the Buddha can bless the senior brother to lead the troops to defeat the thieves who come and protect the safety of the soldiers and civilians on the island." After a pause, she said softly: "I also ask the Buddha to bless my senior brother to return victoriously and safely." ”

The Buddhist beads in his hand turned, and suddenly he touched something different between his fingers.

She looked down. But he was stunned.

It was a ring. Datang calls it the ring. Gold is the ring. There is also a large and dazzling diamond on it. This ring was also a gift that Li Jing brought back from Liaohai last time, and it was given to his wife Gui Niang as one of the many gifts. Li Jing was amazed by the huge diamond on this ring at first glance, and if such a complete and huge natural diamond were to be placed in future generations, it would be absolutely priceless. However, in the Tang Dynasty, diamonds seemed to be just a very ordinary gemstone, and even inferior to jadeite stones.

Li Jing happily gave this diamond ring to his wife Gui Niang, who knew that Gui Niang was not very happy. On the contrary, she liked those extremely ordinary hairpins and other ornaments, but she didn't like this diamond ring at all. In the end, he didn't even ask Li Jing. directly gave this diamond ring to Yu Youniang.

Afterwards, Wang Guiniang replied to Li Jing, only saying that finger rings and earrings are all jewelry that the Hu people are used to, and the Han people do not like to use these jewelry. Li Jing asked for a long time, only to learn that the two jewelry, earrings and finger rings, were rarely worn among the Han people in the Tang Dynasty. Because of the Confucian saying, the Han people do not dare to destroy the parents who suffer from the skin of the body, and the beginning of filial piety is also. Therefore, such a thing as piercing the ear is not praised. For a long time, the Han people before the Tang Dynasty rarely wore earrings. Piercing the ears is even more of a punishment. The people who wear earrings are either barbarians from the south or Hu people from the north. In the eyes of the Han people, these barbarian Hu Fan will destroy their bodies without distinction between men and women, wear ears and rings.

The same is true for rings, which are rarely worn and rarely worn by Han Chinese. During the Tang Dynasty, Hu Feng was in full swing, and it was popular to wear Hu clothes, and the noblewomen of the upper class and the kabuki and dancers in the Qinglou Orchestra also began to wear earrings and rings. However, in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty began to advocate the uniform of the Han Dynasty again, and issued several orders to change Hu Xi in the world. Since then, the Hu style has decreased greatly, and the Han style has flourished again. The earrings and rings became purely jewelry, and were generally used for funeral purposes. Occasionally, someone wears it, which is either a noble concubine or a kabuki dancer, and like the open-chested breastless dress of the Tang Dynasty, it has become exclusive to the court and the high-class wealthy ladies and the women of the Qinglou Music Workshop. Ordinary people, if they are not of Hu blood, basically do not use these jewelry. Especially for rings, even if they are worn, they are generally worn on top of necklaces.

Wang Guiniang is now the general's wife, and she has begun to learn etiquette everywhere, so she naturally does not want to be rude. She gave this ring as a gift to Yu Youniang, although she didn't like Li Hui'er and Yu Youniang's beautiful unmarried women to stay in Shamen Town, and often came to the door. But relatively speaking, among the three women, she still likes Yu Youniang, her husband's younger sister.

Yu Youniang was very happy to receive this ring, she once heard Li Jing say by chance, saying that the ring symbolizes love. Especially for married couples, one person wears a pair of rings, which is even more beautiful.

The ring on her hand is not just a single one, Li Jing has another ring on her hand, but a pair.

She didn't know if Wang Guiniang knew the story of this ring, but she was very happy to get the ring. She wore the ring on the beads, and she was able to stroke it several times a day. Every time it was her turn to be on the ring, she would involuntarily lose her mind slightly. Every time, she will think of the story of the ring that Li Jing talked about, the diamond is eternal, and one will last forever. Love is stronger than gold, love is like a diamond.

At the beginning, when she went to Qingning Township and came to Shamen Town, it was only Li Hui'er who forcibly pulled her here. But now, she is suddenly reluctant to leave again. If you can't see that figure every day, you always feel like you're gaining or losing.

"Bless my brother to return victoriously and safely!" After Yu Youniang finished praying at the end of her life, she just got up, but she heard a stormy voice coming in: "Young Niang, your wish is clear." Li Jing's guy really defeated the enemy, and now he has captured Da Xie Yan and annihilated the fleet in Duli Town. ”

"Ah, is it true?" Yu Youniang's face was happy, but she immediately remembered one thing, and she stopped talking.

"Don't be embarrassed, don't you just want to ask Li Jing how he is now?" Li Hui'er suddenly broke what Yu Youniang wanted to say but was embarrassed to say. Two pieces of red glow flew up on the young lady's face, and she looked at Li Hui'er expectantly.

"Don't worry, Li Jing didn't have anything to do, he won a big battle, and he didn't even hurt a single hair, and now he is leading people to celebrate the great thanks, he doesn't have time to think about you at this time."

"What do you say, county lord? No more nonsense, be careful I tear your mouth apart. Yu Youniang was a little annoyed and angry, and said angrily. However, when I heard that he had nothing to do, I felt relaxed for no reason. The whole person also became cheerful. Fight with Li Hui'er.

After a bit of fighting. The two women leaned together and laughed.

"Young lady, tell me the truth, do you like that guy Li Jing?" Li Hui'er has already seen some fame, but she has never pointed it out. Now that I have seen it, it seems that I have fallen deeper and deeper. Not only did he take the string of Buddhist beads given by Li Jing as a pawn, but he carried it with him every day. Now there is another ring strung on the Buddha beads, and she recognizes this ring as a pair with the one in Li Jing's hand. It was originally given by Li Jing to his wife Gui Niang. Gui Niang transferred it to the young lady. Li Huier also heard Li Jing tell the love story of the diamond ring, which was heard on the way back to Qingning Township together.

Now Yu Youniang is so precious with this ring, the meaning of this is self-evident.

Yu Youniang's mood suddenly became a little low, he tilted his head, chuckled, and laughed a little bitterly: "Ji Yu is my father's proud protégé and my senior brother, we are just a brother and sister relationship." ”

"Don't kid yourself, do you really think so?"

"So what? Hate not to meet when you are not married! It's only now that I finally understand what that means. The senior brother married a wife and concubine early, and he was very good to them. It's enviable. ”

Li Hui'er sighed: "It's good that you understand, and don't forget." Even if Li Jing didn't marry a wife, you still have a marriage contract with the Lu family, have you forgotten? ”

When Yu Youniang heard the word Lu Jia, her face changed, and she instantly turned pale. These two words will always be a pain in her heart, originally thought that he had been in Shamen Town for so long, and she had forgotten about this matter. didn't expect Li Huier to mention it, and her reaction was still so big.

"I just received a letter from my father from the family who came with Song Xi, including a letter from you. Yu Shibo sent someone from Guanzhong, saying that he wanted to take you back to Guanzhong. It seems that the person from the Lu family is still alive, but he is very depressed, he came to your door and said that he wanted to complete the marriage contract. He did not want to be criticized by the world, saying"

She didn't continue to say the rest of the words, but the meaning was already understood. The fiancé who committed suicide on the way to exile for fear of the family and his father and uncle suddenly appeared. He came to the door to get married, Yu Xuan is an upright person, when the Lu family gained power, when the Yu family lost power, Yu Youniang reached the age of marriage, but the Lu family didn't mention it. At present, the situation of the two families is reversed, but the Lu family has come to the door again.

"No, I'm not going back." Yu Youniang's face was pale, she bit her lip tightly, and said very resolutely. "I want to stay in Shamen Town, even if my father no longer recognizes me as a daughter, I don't want to marry the Lu family's gentleman. I didn't want to marry at the beginning, and now I don't want to marry even more. ”

Sure enough, Li Hui'er knew in her heart that her reluctance to go back was definitely not just because the person from the Lu family was a scumbag. If she hadn't had these emotional entanglements with Li Jing before, although she was bitter in her heart, she would have obeyed Yu Shibo's arrangement in the future. Now he has such a resolute attitude, it must be because of Li Jing.

It's just that although Li Huier is also willing to support Yu Youniang's relationship, she is not optimistic about her relationship with Li Jing. She almost understood that Yu Youniang was simply wishful thinking and met Li Jing. And Li Jing must have been aware of this situation, but he refused to respond, in fact, he has already explained the result.

"Silly sister, even if you don't want to marry that person from the Lu family, how can your heart for Li Jing be reciprocated. If you think about it carefully, Li Jing already has a wife and concubine, not to mention that he has a good relationship with his wife and concubine. Even if he is willing to respond to your heart, in what capacity are you with Li Jing? Will he divorce his wife and marry you? Do you want to be his concubine, do you think about the status of the Yu family, a family with four sections, and a prime minister. Can the daughter of such a family marry a small general like Li Jing as a concubine? ”

"If the love between the two is long, how can it be there, morning and twilight." In the face of Li Hui'er's hard persuasion, Yu Youniang suddenly raised her head and muttered a sentence. Li Huier immediately heard that this sentence was the last sentence of the last sentence of the last poem that Li Jing read when he told the legendary story of the diamond ring. The pronunciation of this sentence has already made Li Huier understand that this girl is already iron-hearted, and it is estimated that no matter how much she says, it will be useless.

Changhan said, Li Huier had to smile bitterly and stop persuading. I secretly prayed to the Buddha statue in the hall, and I hope that the Buddha will bless the wishful thinking of the young lady, and the most beautiful will be able to return to her family!
