T-Scroll Chapter 118 Daughter’s Heart (please vote for me!)
Shi Xiangyun has a cool temper. Although Miaoyu is a few years older than her, she doesn't know much about external affairs because she has been practicing in the temple for a long time, especially the situation of these high-ranking families.
Know.
Even the understanding of the Jia family and the Feng family was learned from Yu Chuan'er and Shi Xiangyun in the past two days, so most of the time it was Shi Xiangyun who spoke and Miaoyu listened.
"Sister Miaoyu has lived in the temple for so many years. Has Uncle Lin never thought of taking her back?"
"Dad comes once every year, but the master said that there is a calamity in my life. I have to live in the temple for a few more years to get rid of the calamity. I have to wait until I am eighteen years old before I come to see..."
Miaoyu was a little awkward when talking about the word "daddy" before.
After all, for so many years, this word has almost only existed and been remembered. Miaoyu only uses it once or twice a year when Lin Ruhai comes.
The relationship between my mother and my father also became weaker as my mother's devotion to Buddhism grew stronger. However, my mother also said that she would eventually go back, but she had just waited for her eighteenth birthday when she welcomed such a child.
information.
Miaoyu really couldn't bear to dislike Shi Xiangyun. This girl was lively and forthright, and spoke frankly and openly. Without her as a pistachio, she would have felt a little uncomfortable if she was not familiar with the place.
"My sister is already eighteen years old, so she should return to the Lin family. Since the master also said that my sister is not a Buddhist, then it is probably Uncle Lin who will arrange her future affairs for her."
Although Shi Xiangyun had a forthright temperament, he was not rough-minded in some aspects.
She lost both her father and her mother when she was young, and her life in the Shi family was not a good one. Of course, her two uncles did not do any cruel things, but naturally they could not be as caring as they were to their own children. It was true.
.
Xiangyun had no worries about food and clothing in the Shi family for so many years, but it's hard to say how dedicated his two uncles and aunts were to him.
So Xiangyun prefers to live here with the Jia family.
Although the Jia family is dependent on others, she is not the only one who relies on others. Daiyu's existence also gives her a best friend who shares the same problem.
The frank and generous Tanchun, the gentle and approachable Yingchun, the graceful Baochai, and the other ignorant but loving Baoyu, as well as the care of Jia Mu and the care of other elders, all made her feel.
There is no family affection and warmth in Shijiasuo.
"Eighteen years old?" Xiangyun was a little surprised.
At this age, it is time to get married. After eighteen, girls are already a little too old.
These days, there are very few people over eighteen who are not married or engaged. If they are over twenty, they are truly leftover women.
Miaoyu was not moved by Xiangyun's surprise.
Of course she knew her age, but it was just the cold war between her mother and father a few years ago, and her master also said that she had to avoid disasters in Buddhism.
Miaoyu herself did not have a clear plan for her future life. Even though she was more inclined to devote her life to Buddhism, she was rejected by her master and even her mother did not agree with it, so it has been postponed to this day.
She was used to this peaceful life, so the sudden change made her a little nervous and uncomfortable, but she seemed powerless to change.
Seemingly realizing his gaffe, Xiangyun stuck out his tongue in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, Sister Miaoyu,..."
Amused by Xiangyun's charming appearance, Miaoyu shook her head, "This is a fact, and there is nothing wrong with it. If it hadn't been for this incident, I would have preferred to stay with the master. Well, all the turmoil in the world is troubling people's hearts.
Joining the world is even more troublesome,..."
"But didn't my sister say that Master Tai also said that my sister's fate is not over yet and she is not a member of the Buddhist sect?"
Xiangyun also likes this sister who seems a little aloof at first sight but is not arrogant after getting to know her. Moreover, the ethereal fairy aura of the other person also makes her feel very comfortable, and she seems to feel a little more confident.
Elegant and indifferent.
"Master said that, but he just said that the worldly relationship is not over yet. Maybe I can break the worldly relationship and return to Buddhism by returning to Yangzhou this time."
Miaoyu laughed, two looming dimples appeared on her cheeks, and the clearness between her brows suddenly diminished a lot. A plain hair tie tied on her head fell down, adding a bit of lightness as the river breeze blew.
Handsome appearance.
"My sister is the prettiest when she smiles. Before, my sister's stern face made me afraid. I felt that my sister was as unattainable as icebergs and snow lotuses. But now when my sister smiles, it's like a hundred flowers blooming, dazzling people's hearts...
…”
Miaoyu burst out laughing again.
Xiangyun is an outspoken person, and although they have only met him for a day or two, Miaoyu already understands him.
What this girl said made people laugh, but such extremely flattering words came from the mouth of such a girl. Miaoyu never liked outsiders to praise her appearance, and tried to keep herself as plain as possible to avoid attracting others.
My eyes are as happy as my heart.
"Okay, your clever mouth is probably more beautiful than a lark. My sister is from outside the country, so why do you need such words of praise?" Miaoyu gently twisted the rosary beads in her hand, as if she was chanting.
Buddha's name.
Shi Xiangyun had a smile on his face, how could an outsider call himself sister?
She felt friendly when she met this sister, so she was particularly reluctant to see such a person really belong to such a temple, and she is Sister Lin's sister. If they can return to Jia's house together in the future, wouldn't there be one more person who can live in daily life?
Heart-to-heart besties?
"That's not necessarily true. Whether you are an outsider or not depends on fate. If my sister and the Buddha have only fate but no connection, then more than ten years of pure land cultivation can be considered a fate, but she may not necessarily return to Buddhism for the rest of her life." Shi Xiangyun shook his head.
, "I think Uncle Lin must have an arrangement for my sister this time."
Feng Ziying also chartered a smaller but more comfortable passenger ship for this trip south.
The three-section cabin on the second floor makes the layout of the passenger ship very relaxed, and the boatmen are all on the lower deck.
In the upper cabin, Feng Ziying and Baoxiang live at the outermost cabin, with a middle cabin for resting in the middle. The cabin at the back is naturally reserved for Miaoyu, Xiangyun, Yuchuaner, and Cui.
There are four masters and servants.
Seeing the two girls chatting happily in the spacious stern of the boat, Feng Ziying was also in a happy mood.
Qi Yongtai's letter has already been sent to Yangzhou in advance, which is regarded as a formal proposal of marriage to the Lin family. Here, the status gifts of the Feng family have also been sent to Yangzhou in advance. Of course, they will not be sent until Feng Ziying arrives in Yangzhou and officially obtains Lin Ruhai's approval.
Send a betrothal gift, and this is basically considered a formal marriage negotiation.
As for specific plans, due to Lin Ruhai's physical condition and the fact that the two places are thousands of miles apart, many can only act urgently.
It is nothing more than an exchange of Geng Tie and other procedures. As long as both parties agree in writing, everything else is not a problem.
Yuchuan'er still didn't know why Feng Ziying suddenly asked her to temporarily serve this Miaoyu girl, but she was accustomed to the life of a maid in the Jia family and was no stranger to this.
Moreover, this girl wearing Fangwairen's clothes looks cold, but she is not difficult to serve. She is probably not used to being served, so she has already done many things by herself before Yu Chuan'er can get started, such as dressing and washing.
.
"Sir, is this girl really Miss Lin's sister?" Yu Chuan'er stood beside Feng Ziying, subconsciously combing Feng Ziying's untidy hair.
There is no need to pay so much attention to things when you are away from home. Yu Chuan'er has become Miaoyu's maid again, so Feng Ziying can only fend for herself, so naturally she is not so tidy.
Although Baoxiang can do it, Feng Ziying is really not used to having someone of the same sex combing his hair and dressing up for him. It would be too uncomfortable. This is probably the most difficult habit for him to adapt to after coming to this time and space.
"Why, it doesn't look like it?" Feng Ziying asked with a smile.
"It's not very similar. Although she looks very handsome, it's not the same as Miss Lin's pretty and frail look. But in terms of temperament, she is a bit the same as Miss Lin. Well, they are both similar to Shi
The older girl is very talkative."
Yuchuan'er pouted, "She doesn't like the slave to dress and make the bed for her, so she insists on doing it herself. Maybe she thinks the slave is clumsy..."
"You are already clumsy, so who dares to say you are dexterous? She is just not used to it. She has been with her master for a long time, doing everything by herself, and may even have to wait on her master..." Feng Ziying shook her head.
He had been in contact with Miaoyu several times in the past two days, but she didn't talk much and was a little wary of him, so he was too lazy to warm up to her.
Anyway, now my mother has agreed to the Lin family's marriage, and Miaoyu can be separated from Lin Ruhai by going to Yangzhou this time. There is no need to hang herself with a rope from a tree with a crooked neck.
If Lin Ruhai is relieved, he can also promise to choose a good son-in-law for him. Of course, having a daughter from a concubine and being so old, I am afraid she can only choose one from a poor family.
It was also Yuchuan'er's first time to go out, and she was particularly excited. In addition, Shi Xiangyun and Cuixi were also traveling with her.
Especially Cui Wei, who was originally Jia Mu's maid, two years older than Yu Chuan. They were also familiar with each other in Rongguo Mansion, but they didn't have much contact with each other before, but now that they were out, they naturally became close to each other.
"But the Lin family master did this in a somewhat unethical manner. How could he keep such a daughter in the temple for more than ten years? Miss Miaoyu is already eighteen years old and has not yet been married to anyone. Now the Lin family master is in poor health.
Where can I find the energy to find a good family for the girl at this time? And even if I find one, if the Lin family passes away, won't it be delayed for another three years? Miss Miaoyu is not even in her early twenties, how can she get married? "
Yu Chuan'er also has a sharp-tongued temperament. Normally, she is suppressed by her sister Jin Chuan'er in the house and doesn't show much of it. This time when she left the house, she was suddenly exposed.
