Chapter 1304: Is There a Heavenly Will in the Dark?
Time is fleeting, the lively Spring Festival has passed, the children are happy, and the adults are often busy to spend it, not to mention the taste, but also very melancholy, because it is a year old. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The same is true for Xu Hao, with his son Xu Yu about to get married, it means that he has to start choosing a future husband for several daughters, compared to the joy of his son when he got married, the daughter's marriage is indescribable for the father, the feeling of being difficult to give up, suffering from gains and losses.
If you are reluctant, you have to give it away, this is life, and the same inevitable process as birth, old age, sickness and death.
When Xiaochun was in Xiaochun, Xu Hao took his daughters to visit Zhu Mingzhi, and he began to cherish the present day more and more.
In the courtyard, Zhu Mingzhi was playing chess with Gu Meixian, Xu Yunsu ran in first, and the two stood up immediately.
Xu Yunsu smiled: "My father and sister Xia are also here, go out and meet them."
"Who is Sister Xia?" Zhu Mingzhi asked.
"It's what everyone often says, saying that Mu Lingxia looks very similar to Sister Meixian." Xu Yunsu explained.
"She's coming? Let's go!" Zhu Mingzhi took Gu Meixian's hand with great interest and followed Xu Yunsu out.
The three of them came to the upper room, and when they saw that there was no one in the room, Zhu Mingzhi said angrily: "Okay! How can you coax us?"
"Who dares to coax the future sister-in-law?" Xu Yunsu laughed, and turned to ask the maid, "Where did they go, master?"
The maid said that she went to the Buddhist hall to ask for a signature, and Zhu Mingzhi said in surprise: "Does the master believe this?"
"It's believable these days." Xu Yunsu shrugged, "Take our sisters everywhere to burn incense and worship the Buddha." ”
They naturally don't understand Xu Hao's mentality of pitiful parents in the world, Zhu Mingzhi was deeply influenced by Confucianism in the past, and he didn't believe in gods and Buddhas, and his face was full of incredulity at the moment.
Seeing this, Gu Meixian said: "You don't believe it, I went to ask for a sign before, which is very reasonable."
Xu Yunsu asked, "What are you asking for?" Read it to me, and I'll explain it to you. ”
In an instant, Gu Meixian blushed slightly, and said with a smile: "I have solved it myself, what are you doing?"
"Amazing!" Xu Yunsu stared at her face, "It's just a sign, what's there to say?" If you talk to a bodhisattva, you can talk to me, because I am a living bodhisattva. Hee-hee! If you don't talk about it, I know your heart. ”
These days, everyone often comes and goes, and they are already very familiar, Gu Meixian's pretty face became more and more red, and he took a sip: "I don't fight with you, you are a living Bodhisattva, I have to offer you to the Buddha Hall to worship Ming'er."
Just talking and laughing, I heard a laugh under the back porch, Xu Hao was supported by Yunyu and Yunning, followed by a group of girls talking and laughing, among which Mu Lingxia walked last.
"Dad, you're back." Xu Yunsu greeted him and shouted, "Sister Xia, come and see the two sisters!"
Mu Lingxia, who lowered her head, raised her head when she heard this, because of Xu Yu's family affairs, she was in an unusually melancholy mood recently, and she saw Gu Meixian at a glance along the guide, and she was taken aback, and her expression was very puzzled.
Gu Meixian on the opposite side was also taken aback, the whole person trembled slightly, and Zhu Mingzhi's eyes widened.
Others took it for granted, because it was too similar, Xu Hao looked at Gu Meixian, then at Mu Lingxia, and said with a smile: "What a pair of little beauties with pink makeup, there are such similar people in the world, they will admit their mistakes if they are not together, no wonder they are all mistaken by the ripples, interesting!"
Xu Hao walked into the room and sat down, because he was there, no one spoke nonsense. He casually asked, "Which of you is older?"
Seeing Gu Meixian, who had been staring at Mu Lingxia intently, he asked, "May I ask how old Miss Xia is?"
Mu Lingxia said softly, "Sixteen."
"What about the month?" Gu Meixian asked.
"June 18."
Gu Meixian frowned and said, "That's because I'm crazy, I was born on March 3." ”
Mu Lingxia glanced at Xu Hao and said, "Is that sister the same year as me?" Yun Ning is the tenth birthday of the fifth month, and I am the youngest. Dare to ask the age of the girl. ”
Zhu Mingzhi seemed to be reminiscing about the past, and said casually: "You don't have to ask me, just call our sister."
Xu Hao smiled: "It's true that Mingzhi is old, but the Meixian girl may not, the two of them look about the same age."
Gu Meixian laughed and said, "Hengzhu, she is a little sister."
As soon as these words came out, Mu Lingxia blushed, as if she was young and shy. Everyone looked at it interestingly, and found that her words and smile were almost the same as Gu Meixian's, but her reaction was slightly different.
Xu Hao also noticed that Gu Meixian's eyebrows were cheeky, and like the description of Lin Daiyu, it gave people the impression that they were always frowning, annoyed and embarrassed, and Ling Xia was basically all a girl's shyness.
At this time, Zhu Mingzhi first shook his head, and then said to Gu Meixian: "I think of a person, she and Sister Xia seem to come out of a mold, it's incredible."
"But the second sister?" Gu Meixian said immediately.
"Yes." Zhu Mingzhi nodded.
Gu Meixian said: "When we met before, I was surprised, when she was reborn."
Here, Mu Lingxia saw that they compared a dead man to her, and immediately frowned, looking a little angry. Who knew that Zhu Mingzhi pointed at her and shouted: "Oh, this son is more like!"
As he spoke, Zhu Mingzhi knew that the word rebirth was bad, and everyone in the secret said that Meixian was a temperamental, and now it seems that this Xia sister, who resembles the old man, also has such a temperament, so he turned around and said: "Whether she is alive or dead has not been settled so far, isn't your rebirth a curse on her?"
Gu Meixian suddenly understood, knowing that she was speechless, after all, the Ling Xia girl in front of her was the daughter of the Hou Ye, and she blushed and didn't speak again.
This scene was seen by the big guys, and the reactions were different, some guessed such as the three sisters Xu Yunsu, and some were dazed, such as a dry maid. Xu Hao also didn't know, but he was old and refined, and he faintly felt that there could be no two people in the world who looked so similar, although there were no surprises in the world.
Here, Mu Lingxia knew that Zhu Mingzhi saw that she was annoyed, so she said this, which made Gu Meixian blush embarrassedly, she couldn't help it, and suddenly asked Gu Meixian quietly: "May I ask my sister, who is the second sister?"
"It's a clan sister." Gu Meixian saw her asking herself, so she couldn't answer, "I have been to Weiyang for many years, but there has been no news so far, and some people say that the boat capsized on the Yangtze River." But she still wrote poems in Qin Huai here and sent them to me, I know that she must still be in the world. ”
"Did she live in Swallow Dock when she was a child?" Mu Lingxia asked faintly.
"yes." Gu Meixian was very surprised, especially Miss Xia frequently revealed Wu Yin, and asked in a trembling voice, "My sister has been to Suzhou?" Have you ever seen her?"
Mu Lingxia didn't answer, but also asked, "Since my sister is her sister, do you know that there is another one named Dai'er, where is she now?"
Zhu Mingzhi smiled and said, "Interesting, that's the nickname of Meixian."
Suddenly, Mu Lingxia burst into tears and cried: "Sister Dai'er, we haven't seen each other for five years, don't you know me?"
Everyone exclaimed, Xu Hao's eyebrows jumped, and he had a premonition that he had encountered a living bloody drama. In fact, it's not surprising to think about it, Mu Lingxia is sixteen years old this year, and she was only eleven years old five years ago, although girls at this age are generally precocious, but after all, they are a child.
Even if adults have been separated for three or four years, it is not uncommon for them to dare not recognize each other for a while.
Gu Meixian said with a shocked face: "You, are you Ying Lian?"
Seeing that Mu Lingxia had already cried into tears, Zhu Mingzhi was also shocked and said, "Are you Ying Lian?"
Then the three girls woke up like from a dream, hugged each other and cried, making the big guy all clueless.
Xu Hao touched his beard and said slowly: "So, Ling Xia's original surname was Gu?" Why is it under Mu Hui's knees again? Disgustingly, he didn't even mention it to me. ”
Gu Meixian and Zhu Mingzhi were also busy asking the truth, so Mu Lingxia choked up and said it.
It turned out that Gu Yinglian, who was too precocious that year, fell in love with Mr. Sheng, and Mr. Sheng became a relative on the order of his parents, and the clan planned to marry Gu Yinglian to someone else, but Gu Yinglian was naturally unwilling.
Taking advantage of the death of her only uncle, she went to her uncle's funeral, but unexpectedly capsized due to a typhoon. It is also a big fate, and it is appropriate for Mu Hui to return to Fujian by boat, and when he saw several dead bodies floating on the water, he ordered his subordinates to salvage people, and found that the girl in it was still a little warm in her heart.
Mu Hui used Xu Hao's first-aid skills to save people, and several family members died. Mu Hui asked Gu Yinglian's family background, but Gu Yinglian refused to tell the truth, lest her life-saving benefactor send her back, and she would inevitably be married by her husband's family.
So Gu Yinglian lied, saying that she was from Suzhou, and her parents had both passed away, so she was going to go to distant relatives.
Originally, Mu Hui wanted to send someone to send her back to her hometown, but who knew that the family on the boat behind her had bad news, the hurricane turned a corner, the second miss of the Mu family accidentally fell into the water, and the boatman and others hurriedly fished the person up, but the person had drowned.
Losing her beloved daughter, Mu Hui cried a lot, and there was no way. Gu Ying saw that his benefactor had no biological daughter and saved herself, and after being grateful, she vowed not to go home and wanted to be a daughter to her benefactor.
Heartbroken, Mu Hui was originally an unruly person, and when she saw that she was sincere, she didn't think much about it at the moment.
Arriving in Fujian, Gu Yinglian was well-behaved and kind along the way, and insisted on serving her mother Xu Luzhu in the name of Ling Xia, so that Xu Luzhu came out of the pain of losing her daughter.
The family saw that the old lady really regarded her as a second lady, and gradually stopped doing it in advance. Gu Yinglian also got along well with Mu Caichun, and soon became like sisters.
Later, Gu Yinglian returned to Beijing with Mu Hui and his wife, because she wanted to find Mr. Gu, she opened a poetry club in the capital, and made some nostalgic poems during the period of playing around.
That time, she and her sister followed their parents into the palace and met Zhu Mingzhi. Zhu Mingzhi didn't recognize her at that time, and she didn't dare to say it herself. And the poem didn't dare to keep it, and secretly sent it to Gu Meixian, because they were afraid that Mu Hui and his wife would see it and suspect that she was unchaste, so they still hide it to this day.
In short, the world is so wonderful, even Xu Hao never expected that Mu Hui and Luzhu would lose a daughter, as for Qiaoqiao saving Gu Yinglian, he didn't have any emotion, because it had nothing to do with him, if Gu Yinglian didn't happen to be Zhu Mingzhi's best friend, she just saved a girl who was desperate.
If he was Mu Hui, he would probably be recognized as a righteous daughter at that time, and when people are extremely sad, any person or thing that can be talked about to comfort will subconsciously hold on tightly.
Take it for granted self-comfort, isn't the so-called fear of God's own providence in the dark? (To be continued)
