Zhijin smiled shyly and walked into Zhijin's boudoir with Yan Zhen. Zhi Jin said: "My sister-in-law is usually quick-tongued and straightforward, but she is very kind-hearted. Not to mention my brother who is kind."
Yan Zhen could tell early on, so he smiled and nodded. Take a closer look at the brocade room, which is clean and elegant, with neatly arranged utensils. Although not noble, it is spacious and bright. There are beautiful curtains covering the windows and plain gauze hanging down the tents. Look at the flowers in pots, they bloom lightly with fragrance. The two birds are woven in brocade, and they are in love. There is a bright mirror in front of the dressing table and a fragrant bamboo pillow beside the bed. In the middle of the house, there is a jade statue of Guanshiyin enshrined on the table.
Brocade went into the house, asked Yan Zhen to sit on a bamboo chair, purified his hands, burned incense, and knelt before the Buddha with great piety.
Yan Zhen asked: "Why do so many people in the world believe in Buddha and kneel before him?"
Brocade stood up and said: "I, the Buddha, have seen through the chaos of the world, penetrated the confusion of the world, achieved great enlightenment, and achieved perfect enlightenment. With a compassionate heart, I save all living beings from the sea of suffering, and spread my virtue invisibly. This is respected by heaven and man!"
Yan Zhen said: "You seem to have achieved perfect enlightenment."
Brocade said: "I only know a little about Buddhism. My Buddha's four elements are empty, his mind is pure, he gives everything, and he never prays. This person is the wise man of perfect enlightenment who has seen through and let go. You are close to Bodhi Courtyard, and the monks of Shaolin Temple are Buddhist disciples, it is best to keep in contact with them. Let the holy monks resolve your troubles and confusions in life, as well as the various karmic obstacles that ordinary people like us have."
Yan Zhendao: "You are the Buddha in my heart."
Brocade said: "You have your mind set on me again, but it is better to have the Buddha in your heart, to have a bodhicitta, to follow the path of bodhi, to be charitable and to save lives, which is a thousand times better than fasting and chanting the Buddha's name."
Zhijin added: "I forgot about fasting. I haven't eaten breakfast yet, and you must not have eaten either. Let's eat it together. My brother said that the rice was getting cold, but in fact he had already heated it up in the pot for me. "As he said this, Zhijin went to the stove to get the rice. The rice was indeed in the pot, so Zhijin took it out, set the table, and fetched the dishes, bowls and chopsticks. Ask Yan Zhen to have breakfast with him.
There were two dishes on the table, one was two river fish and the other was garden vegetables. There are also two plates of pickles. Yan Zhen felt very appetizing after reading it.
Zhijin said: "There are no delicacies from the mountains and seas. Sit down and try our farm food. The pickles are made by me, and the fish and vegetables are cooked by my sister-in-law. How about trying our craftsmanship?"
Yan Zhenran happily sat at the same table with Zhijin and had breakfast together.
Yan Zhen tasted the food slowly. He felt that the fish was fragrant but not greasy, and the vegetables were fresh and flavorful. The two plates of pickles are also very delicious, fresh and fragrant. Yan Zhen secretly sighed that the food was so delicious.
Maybe this is what life is like. Life is originally full of beauty.
Zhijin saw Yan Zhen eating so hard, as if he hadn't eaten for a long time. Brocade couldn't help but laugh.
After breakfast, the two of them went for a walk in the courtyard together. Watch the birds singing in the mulberry locust trees, butterflies dancing beside the flowers, and even see the yellow-haired young people enjoying themselves outside the courtyard. Yan Zhen sighed: "What a peaceful and peaceful scene."
Jin Zhi gently took Yan Zhen's hand and said, "I only want to hold my hand and grow old together with you."
Yan Zhendao: "I will definitely marry you and share the joy of this world with you."
Zhi Jin said: "I will cook for you every day, so that you will never have enough to eat." After saying that, he smiled sweetly.
Yan Zhendao: "I will pick you up tomorrow and stay at my place for a few days to see the world outside Wen Liulin."
Zhijin nodded happily, the two of them spoke softly and talked very harmoniously in the courtyard...
The sun has set, the people of Huansha Village are returning from working in the fields on the mountains, and the brother and sister-in-law who are weaving brocade are also returning from the market. At this time, Yan Zhenqia said goodbye to Zhijin, who sent Yan Zhen to the door.
Brocade sister-in-law came to the door and said, "I'm leaving so early. If I stay a little longer, it won't be too late to go after dinner."
Yan Zhen bowed and saluted: "Thank you, sister-in-law, for your concern. I'm going to leave now that I have something to do. I'll bother you again tomorrow."
Zhijin's sister-in-law smiled and said: "Hey, you, you are quite sweet. Let me tell you, I don't care about you, I care about my sister. If you treat Zhijin lightly in the future, I, as my sister-in-law, will not be able to get around you." Pointing to Yan Zhen, he walked into the courtyard with a smile.
Cousin Zhijin said to Yan Zhen, "Good brother, my daughter-in-law is a quick talker. Don't be as knowledgeable as your sister-in-law. It's better for us to have a few drinks in the house." After saying that, he pulled Yan Zhen into the house.
Yan Zhen politely thanked him again. Say goodbye to Zhijin and his brother and sister-in-law. Jin Zhi was still at the door watching Yan Zhen off, and her cousin was also at the door watching Yan Zhen leave.
It's night, Brocade has gone to sleep. My sister-in-law was sitting on the edge of the bed taking a foot bath, while my cousin was pacing back and forth in the room.
My sister-in-law said, "It's almost midnight. Why are you wandering around on the ground if you don't sleep?"
The cousin frowned slightly and said, "I always feel that something is wrong with Zhijin's boyfriend."
"What's wrong?"
The cousin shook his head and said, "I can't tell what's wrong, but since my uncle's death, I've had a lingering fear of people with loose hair, and they will always be associated with my uncle's murderer."
The brocade sister-in-law smiled and said: "Stop thinking nonsense, besides, you are crazy." The sister-in-law was clean and tidy, lying on the bed, and said: "But strangely enough, I don't think he is a law-abiding woodcutter villager. , what’s even more strange is that Zhijin didn’t say what he does? A businessman, he doesn’t look like that, he looks more like a knife-headed person who drinks blood.”
With a chuckle, the brocade sister-in-law said again: "We are both just thinking nonsense. My cousin is born gentle and beautiful, how can he be so unlucky to befriend a bad guy?"
The cousin nodded and said, "That's absolutely true." After chatting, the two undressed and went to sleep.
Early the next morning, Yan Zhen looked handsome, wearing the blue shirt he had made for him so far. When I came to Huansha Village, I met Brocade Brother and Sister-in-law and expressed their intention to come. Zhijin's brother and sister-in-law saw Yan Zhen and wanted to take Zhijin to his home. Although he had doubts in his heart, seeing that Brocade wanted to go, he agreed without any further interference. The two of them went to the market to sell cloth.
Brocade Cleansing Hands worshiped the Bodhisattva in the room and said to Yan Zhen: "My parents have been dead for two years. Today is my father's birthday. I want to burn incense and kneel in front of his mourning hall. You wait for me in the room and I will come."
Yan Zhen said: "Wouldn't it be better for the two of us to go together?" Zhijin smiled and said: "That's fine, come with me to the mourning hall!"
So Yan Zhen rushed to the mourning hall with Brocade, and Brocade lovingly burned incense in front of the mourning hall to worship. When Yan Zhen was about to pay his respects, he looked at the memorial tablet above the mourning hall, which clearly read: 'The spiritual place of Tianshui Cult Leader Long Yinxiao'. The signature is engraved with the date of death. After seeing it, Yan Zhen's heart, which was originally whirling in the spring breeze and warmed by the warm sun, was frozen for a while, and the sky was filled with sorrowful clouds. In an instant he was almost out of breath, and Brocade didn't pay attention at this time.
In an instant, Yan Zhen was filled with a variety of emotions. He, who had never recalled or regretted anything, and was covered in blood of killing, recalled the past again. I remember the battle between the Tianshui Sect that night, and the fight was so intense that the sky was dark and the earth was dark. No one in the sleeping group was spared. Long Yinxiao's head was removed by himself. Yan Zhen sighed bitterly in his heart: "It turns out that Brocade is Long Yinxiao's daughter - that's it - that's it!"
