Chapter 29 Chapter Twenty-Eight Out of the Yin-Yang Realm

one After the beginning of the Tianjin account saw a slight improvement, Qiu Taiji also wrote a letter to his family. The family letters of the overseas personnel of the ticket number are usually sent back to the old account, and the old account then sends a message to the family members who receive the letter, asking them to come and pick it up.Qiu Taiji's letter was naturally taken back by Wen Yutian from the Tiancheng Veteran in the city.He saw that the letter was sent from Tianjin, which was a little strange. Apparently, when Qiu Taiji was transferred from Xi'an to Tianjin, he was in such a hurry that he didn't write a letter to inform his family.

Mrs. Yao was also surprised when she saw the letter, and when she hurriedly opened it to read it, her heart was naturally overwhelmed again!In the past, it was so miserable to guard, and the man only improved step by step; the year before last, he broke the precepts and lost his integrity, but the man was different every year, and changed a lot every year.Isn't this God's retribution for her?She knew that it was a man's wish for many years to go to Jinhao to be an old gangster.When I was lucky in the past, it was still far away; now I am unlucky, but I jumped up with one step.So abnormal, who would have expected it?

Seeing Mrs. Yao sitting there in a daze after reading the letter, Yu Tian didn't dare to ask any more questions, and walked away quietly. Ever since he had that relationship with the master's wife, Yu Tian was not like the Guo Yunsheng in front of him. He showed his pride in just a few days, and later, he regarded himself as half the master.The further he went, the more he felt that his sins were serious.On that cold winter night, it was the host's wife who kept him.But the lady is his benefactor, a benefactor like his mother, and he shouldn't take this step. When the wife hugged him, she loved him so much, and he felt that there was also a lot of maternal love in it.So he didn't dare to indulge to enjoy this love.Madam is extremely warm and charming, but also extremely heavy!He knew that if he rejected this love, he would lose the wife of the host, but if he accepted this love, he would feel restless day and night.The better his wife treats him, the more he will think of the shopkeeper who is far away from home.One day, when the shopkeeper of the main family came back, how could he face it calmly?

Yu Tian talked to Mrs. Yao more than once about the difficulty she couldn't escape.Mrs. Yao always said, don't be afraid, I'm here.At that time, as long as you listen to me, nothing will happen!But she also sometimes said, what to do, what to do, who told us to come to this point?When he said that, how could he not be terrified! Especially whenever the shopkeeper of the main house sends back a letter, the wife is always in a daze when she sees it.Yu Tian is a young man who is careful and sensitive, seeing this situation, his heart will be overwhelmed.Madame is in a daze like this, she must feel sorry for the man.He was the one who got madam in trouble!Therefore, every time the shopkeeper of the master's house received a letter, he always avoided seeing his wife until she forced him to summon him.He couldn't answer the call to see him, but every time he was in a heavy heart, and he wanted to say something that had hurt Er Niang and wanted to apologize and quit his job.

When Mrs. Yao heard what he said, she was very moved, and said: You have such a heart, and I deserve it!It's worth it even if you suffer a thousand cuts. At first, when Yutian saw his wife say this, he hurriedly replied: It's not worth it, it's not worth it!Who is the second mother, and who am I?I ruined Er Niang, the crime is too great!The kindness Erniang treats me is as heavy as a mountain, let alone. Mrs. Yao seemed to be even more moved, and said: You are so affectionate and righteous, why should I not deserve it?When I said that, tears came down. Yu Tian, ​​what else can he say?It can only remain the same.Besides, if he left Qiu's house, he really had nowhere to go.

It was the same this time, seeing that his wife had a complicated expression after receiving the letter from Tianjin, Yu Tian quietly avoided it.But there is also a difference: several days have passed, and the wife has not summoned him.Yutian couldn't sit still anymore.Because in the past, within two days at most, Madam would summon him.Or, simply sneak into his place in the middle of the night. This time, what happened? Although Yutian hoped not to go any further, but the host's wife really ignored him like this, she still couldn't bear it in her heart.At first, he thought that something had happened to the master shopkeeper in Tianjin.But the more you look at it, the less it looks like.Something really happened, Madam wouldn't sit at home like this without any movement.If something happened, there is only one possibility: Madam has really repented.

Although Yutian has never been in a business, he knew from a young age that outside the mouth is a holy place for merchants, Xi'an is a big wharf, and Tianjin is even a big wharf.In less than two years since he came to Qiu's house, he witnessed the shopkeeper of the main family being transferred from outside the mouth to Xi'an, and then from Xi'an to Tianjin.He remembered since he was a child that his mother always hoped that his father could move to a place close to home to live in a business name, and of course he hoped that his father could change to the big wharf.But my father survived until his death, but he still did not leave the small distant pier.

Therefore, shopkeeper Qiu has long been a powerful figure in his mind.How could Madam offend such a noble man for such a lowly servant for a long time!Now that Shopkeeper Qiu has been transferred to Tianjin Grand Wharf, Madam must regret it even more. It's not regret, it's also fear. Such an imposing shopkeeper, once he knows about Madam, how can he spare her lightly? Of course, I can't spare him as a lowly servant.He died without any complaints, but his wife was hurt! By ignoring him like this, is it a signal to break up with him and tell him to leave as soon as possible? But where can he go?

After losing his wife, the world became ice and snow again, so he had no choice but to die. Or, as soon as possible, ask his wife to send him to a distant land to live in a shop and be an apprentice? A few more days passed after Yutian thought wildly like this, but there was still no movement.His wife kept the door closed, which made him even more restless. On this day, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, and took the initiative to call the hostess's lady, Shui Lian, and asked: "It's been several days, and Erniang hasn't come out, is she sick?"If I'm sick, I have to go to the doctor right away.

not sick.I also asked, and Mom said she was not sick, just tired and wanted to rest for a few more days.When Xiao Shuilian answered, her face was bright. Yutian was very afraid of seeing this brilliance, so he hurriedly said: It's good if you don't get sick.I should be busy too. Shui Lian stopped him with a smile: "Yutian, why don't you have a few days to spare while mom isn't going out?"Come with me into the city today! Yutian said in a hurry: How can I be free?It is already autumn, and I have to go to the tenants to check the crops. She still smiled brightly and said: I don't care if the crops are crops or not, anyway, Yutian, you have to accompany me into the city!

How can Yutian agree?I had no choice but to change the tone of begging and said: Miss, what I eat is to serve the Lord's family's meal, and to serve you when you enter the city, how can you not want to?But the crops are a one-year thing, and now the tenants have so many tricks, if you don’t check the growing conditions early, when the crops are about to ripen, they will secretly harvest 10 to 20% for you first, how can you find out? I don't listen, I don't listen!Anyway, you have to accompany me into the city! What are you doing in town? Let's take a walk. But I ran away to the tenant by mistake, and I can't explain to Er Niang. Accompany me into the city, what can I miss you! Season waits for no one Yutian, I can't order you around? I'm afraid that my second mother will blame me I'm going to tell mom! I obey. Seeing Xiao Shuilian ran away, Yutian was relieved. Xiaoshuilian treats Yutian differently than she treats Yunsheng.She obviously likes Yutian too, she always likes to run around behind Yutian when she has nothing to do, asking questions.Moreover, she followed her mother's name and insisted on calling him Yutian.Her mother repeatedly asked her to change her name, but she preferred no, Yutian, Yutian's name.She also asked Yutian to call her Shuilian instead of Miss.Of course Yutian dared not agree. Before Yu Tian had an affair with his wife, he was of course very happy to see that the lady in charge didn't dislike him, so he tried his best to please her and coax her to like him.But ever since he had a supernormal relationship with his wife, Yutian felt guilty when he saw the lady, and always wanted to avoid it intentionally or unintentionally.This avoidance, on the contrary, aroused the suspicion of the young lady: Why doesn't Yutian like her anymore? Xiao Shuilian went to her mother to complain.Mrs. Yao panicked when she heard this, and hurriedly asked Yutian in private: Why did you provoke Lianlian?Don't mess with it, don't mess with it!Yutian explained that he just wanted to avoid and didn't mess with her.Mrs. Yao warned: Don't neglect her, absolutely don't neglect her!What was going on before, what was going on, I didn't dare to show any abnormalities. Yu Tian is so young and a junior, how can it be possible to hide such an affair in his heart without showing any traces on the outside?Although he didn't dare to deliberately avoid Xiao Shuilian, it was also difficult for him to remain calm.And Xiao Shuilian was quite satisfied seeing that he was a little more shy like this: it was easier to control him. Xiao Shuilian is just an eleven-year-old girl. She likes Yutian, but it's just a pure feeling.Growing up in a family where I didn't see my father or brothers for many years, I naturally had a sense of novelty towards men.The aversion to Yunsheng and liking for Yutian are originally the two sides of this novelty.But Yu Tian, ​​who was full of guilt and even a sense of guilt, couldn't deal with Xiao Shuilian calmly. Shui Lian often made requests like asking him to accompany him into the city.If Yutian could evade it, she would.When I went out with her, it was too difficult to talk a lot in a calm manner, not to get too close to her, and not to annoy her.Therefore, what Yutian was looking forward to was that his wife would not allow her to accompany her into the city. But Shuilian quickly ran out, and proudly said to him: "Yutian, mom agreed, and asked you to accompany me into the city."He said that there happened to be a letter asking you to go to the city and hand it over to the letter bureau.Go now, mom is calling you! After hearing this, Yu Tian couldn't help being overjoyed: he didn't see his wife for only five or six days, but it seemed like how many days had passed!Today is considered to be under the light of Xiao Shui Lian, and I can finally see my wife again.He didn't pay much attention to Shui Lian, so he ran to see his wife. I haven't seen her for a few days, and Madam is visibly haggard.When he entered, Madam didn't speak, nor did she look up at him, as if she didn't know he was coming in.Yu Tian asked timidly in a low voice: Shui Lian said there was a letter and asked me to deliver it to the letter office Mrs. Yao still didn't look at him, but said coldly: "I haven't written the letter yet."Go get a pen, ink, letterhead, I said, you write. To whom is this letter written and asked to write?In the past, when my wife wrote letters to shopkeeper Qiu, she wrote them all in her own handwriting.As for writing that kind of inappropriate letter, my wife just explained it, and didn't dictate it. He was only thinking like this, but he didn't immediately go back to the accountant's room where he lived to get his pen, ink, letter and paper. You didn't hear me?Mrs. Yao asked sharply. He just ran out quickly.After taking it, as soon as I licked the pen and put the paper on the paper, my wife began to dictate: Husband like face It turned out that he was writing a letter to the shopkeeper of the main house!When Yutian heard this, his hands trembled a little. The letter from Jin has been received.Knowing my husband was honored to be promoted to the old gang of Tianjin, and my concubine was very honored.I would like to wish my husband to make contributions in the Tianjin account as soon as possible, and to repay the boss and the old account.Everything is fine at home, but Lian Er and Fu Sheng miss you very much, and so does my concubine.Husband told his concubine that he might have to live in Tianjin for three years before returning from get off work, and the concubine has no complaints.However, when the husband returns, the resurrection will be five years old!concubine word. When Yutian was writing the first time, she was too nervous, and only focused on writing, without explaining the meaning, and barely comprehending what his wife dictated.It was not until the second time that the letter was transcribed clearly that I realized the meaning of the letter.Among them, the shopkeeper of the main house will not come back until three years later, which makes him most gratified.The wife has been angry recently, perhaps because she resents the man for being too ruthless. When he presented the clear letter paper to his wife for review, seeing her face was frosty, he said: Erye is also a hero among the shopkeepers, naturalized, Xi'an, Tianjin, moving a wharf a year, and one wharf is better than another wharf Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard his wife roaring at him: A heartless thing, you are also a heartless thing!Do you want to be stationed at the dock too?It's all heartless stuff!You all go to the pier!They are all unripe things While roaring, he tore the letter in his hand to shreds. Where has Yutian seen such a formation?He knelt down in a hurry, but he didn't know what he said wrong. two That day, Mrs. Yao's scolding was like heavy rain, and it lasted for a while.At the end, he said something that shocked Yutian even more: You go too, I won't support you anymore, let's go, let's go! He was blindfolded with fright, and did not know how to explain himself.His wife has kicked him out. He walked out like a lost soul, startling Xiao Shuilian who was waiting outside.When asked in a hurry, he didn't speak.Shui Lian ran into her mother's room, and soon came out disheveled. Shui Lian came to pester him again and asked, how could he have the heart to tell this little girl?He just said: I don't know why Erniang is so angry, maybe I think my handwriting is too ugly?Erniang is in a fit of anger, so don't ask any questions for now. After dismissing Shui Lian, Yu Tian also hoped that the host's wife was just speaking out of anger, not really trying to drive him away. But he was wrong.The next day, Lan Ni, the maid in the wife's house, came over and said: Er Niang sent a message to you, you don't need to worry about anything, pack your luggage and go find another job. Madam really want to drive him away?He froze and didn't speak. Lan Ni asked in a low voice: Yu Tian, ​​why did you mess with Er Niang?Let her be so angry, mentioning you, she hates something! Yu Tiancai said: I don't know either?Yesterday, Erniang was going to write back to Erye. She said something and asked me to write one.After writing, I got angry, I really don't know why. You didn't write according to Erniang's intention, did you? How dare I! Lan Ni asked some silly things again, and Yu Tian didn't want to talk to her anymore, but just told her: You can call Er Niang back, and I won't complain when I leave.In the past two days, I ran out of the tenants, checked the growth of each crop, and left. Lan Ni said: leave the Qiu family, where will you make a living? Call Er Niang quickly! Sending Lanny away, he really went out of the village to the tenants' fields. Lan Ni, who was a bit silly, knew that she was worried: where would she make a living after leaving the Qiu family?But he stopped thinking about it.Take one step, count one step.Last night, he barely closed his eyes. He had thought over and over for many times that if he really left Qiu's house, he would never return to his uncle's house.The first choice was to go to the camel puller and follow him outside the mouth.The camel family didn't want him, so he went out of the mouth by himself.He believed that as long as he walked out of the mouth, there would be a way out. At night, he also thought about how his wife got angry.He said the wrong thing: she shouldn't have praised the second master when she resented the second master's ruthlessness.Maybe he really showed envy for the docks stationed in other cities?But the madam's anger seemed to really wake up his dream. He should really think about the future.I can't always be like this, spending my whole life with the wife of the host.I am also a man, so I should go to the docks of other cities to make a living.You can't be stationed in a big pier like shopkeeper Qiu, at least you have to find a small pier to live in like your father did.Because of his wife's anger, Yu Tian really yearned to go to the docks in other places. With such yearning, Yutian not only lost his depression, but also seemed to inspire a kind of maturity.He ran non-stop to more than a dozen tenants of the Qiu family, and was away for three days.During this period, he never went back to Qiu's house, and lived in the nearest tenant every night. It was not until the evening of the third day that he returned to Qiu's house.As soon as he entered the gate, the gatekeeper called out: "Yutian, you're back!" What's wrong? You go in quickly! Whoever you meet when you come in, they always say the same sentence: You are back after all!Later, when she met Lan Ni, she even screamed and said, "Yutian, you're back after all!"Erniang scolds me every day, thinking that I let you go!You have to make it clear to Er Niang that it is you who want to leave, not me What happened? Once you leave, Erniang scolds me every day!I can curse eight times a day!You are back after all, I will report to Erniang right away. In the past few days, I have been running away from tenants, did I tell you? Er Niang didn't listen to what I said.Go ahead and tell me, I'll report it right away! After Lan Ni ran in, Yutian stood in the courtyard and waited for a while, but seeing no movement, he had no choice but to go back to his residence. Not long after, Xiao Shuilian came and asked him where he had been so angry these few days, and told him in a low voice: "Damn is getting more angry, you have to be careful when you see whoever scolds you!"After speaking, he ran away quickly. However, until it was completely dark, Madam did not call him.It seemed that she was really angry.She thought he was angry with her after he left for the past few days?Lanny may not have made it clear.Since coming to Qiu's house, he has never left for a day.It is inevitable that she is angry.He ran the tenants with all his heart and soul, without any grievances or grievances. If she is so arrogant, she won't take back her life and leave him behind. Although he was a bit reluctant, he must take this step sooner or later. After running for the past few days, he was also tired.After washing and rinsing, I fell asleep and fell asleep soon.After an unknown amount of time, he vaguely heard a cry, which seemed to be far away and near, and somewhat familiar, but he couldn't find where the person was.I was looking for it in a hurry, and suddenly I woke up. In the darkness, the cry remained the same, only more clearly. Shocked again, he saw his wife sitting on the edge of the kang couch. He hurriedly sat up and was about to go down to the ground, but his wife stopped him. You sleep in yours!Make me so angry, you sleep soundly!It's all heartless things I'm rushing to run away tenants Who knows where you went, you heartless thing! Seeing that autumn is cool, I really Madam hugged him and didn't let him speak any more. That night, Madam was extremely sentimental, but he was not allowed to ask any more questions, let alone explain one more sentence. At breakfast the next day, Madam asked to prepare an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks on her dining table, and spread the word: Although Yutian is young, he has meritorious service as a housekeeper.A few days ago, I went down to run to the tenants, and I worked tirelessly and devoted myself very much.From now on, Yutian will have meals with our mother and daughter.Be careful, don't neglect him! This surprised Yu Tian again! There is a difference between master and servant, that is a big rule.Madam Yao publicly treated him as the same as the master's family, although he didn't expect it, but he knew Madam's intention: she did not hesitate to make the matter public, but she wanted to keep him, right?However, how could he accept such high treatment with peace of mind! But he couldn't refuse.Just as he was hesitating, Shui Lian came over and took him to a seat.On the seat, Madam has no complaints, she talks and laughs calmly, and is in good spirits.Shui Lian was also very happy.But he couldn't be happy with them. A few days later, there was a temple fair in a neighboring village.The first day of the three-day temple fair was very lively.This is probably because there was a boxing chaos last year, and the situation was unstable in the first half of this year. There was no temple fair for more than a year. Mrs. Yao heard that the temple fair was very lively, so she told Yu Tian: You ask them to inquire about what drama was written.In the afternoon, we also set up a car and went to the theater. Yu Tian said: Then I will go.If you find something worth buying, buy some and bring them back. Mrs. Yao said, "Yutian, you also have to learn how to manipulate people!"You can't just know how hard you are.I hired these servants just to ask you to order them around.If it's not enough, let's hire another one. Yu Tian said: I'll go shopping.Besides, I also want to catch up with the fun. Mrs. Yao said: If you want to go, that's another matter.But you have to learn to order people!Don't say that I feel sorry for you, how can you be a butler for me without any pomp! In the past, Yutian would burst into tears after hearing these words.Now, he felt a kind of oppression. The temple fair in the neighboring village was really lively.But he inquired a few places, and they all said that this year he would only write about a small theater troupe that stirred up the wind and snow.Because of successive years of drought, coupled with the boxing chaos, the money returned from the village's public share is not much, and it cannot afford to write a big theater troupe. The wind stirs the snow, which refers to the singing style of Caotai wild opera troupe in that era, that is, singing both big operas and Yangko minor tunes.Kungfu is seen in big dramas, which have a large scale, but also have big rules; Yangko minors can improvise.In order to make a living, the small opera troupes also come together with the big opera Yangge, and the audience sings whatever they like.At that time, Yangko, which was popular in Qitaiping area, had formed its own system and had its own simple repertoire.Although the repertoire is simple, it is very popular because it is collected from the villagers and most of them are based on personal relationships between men and women.Of course, the small theater troupe has to fight the wind and stir the snow. But even a well-behaved young man like Wen Yutian also knows what will happen if the wind stirs the snow and sings at night: it's still good to make a few lewd words! So Yutian concluded that since only the wind stirred up the snow, Madam probably wouldn't come to the theater.He walked around the meeting and saw that charcoal was very cheap, so he asked for two carts and brought them back. When Mrs. Yao saw him buying charcoal, she shed tears without asking a few words.Yutian couldn't figure out what was wrong, so his wife said: When you first came here, you were frozen sick to buy charcoal!you forgot? Yutian quickly said: That is because I don't know how to do things, so don't mention it. But he knew in his heart that what Madam was thinking about was not this matter, but that cold winter night, when he went to fill a pot of charcoal fire, she refused to let him go.But when he bought charcoal today, he didn't think of it at all. After dismissing the charcoal seller, the wife asked him: Whose play did they write back? Yutian said: I didn't write back to a serious theater troupe, I just called in a wild troupe that stirred up wind and snow. The lady said: "The wind stirs the snow, and it also has its lively boundaries."I haven't seen a play for more than a year, so whatever, let's go and have fun.Is the play newspaper posted tonight?How many plays are there? It was written in the theater newspaper that there was a Wu Yangko "Cuiping Mountain" and a big play "The Legend of the White Snake".But this kind of wild team, it will sing for you according to the play?I don't know where it got involved! Madam resolutely said: No matter what, let's go!In the next afternoon, I took a car and went to the meeting first, then the theater. Madam is not shy about the wind and snow, which makes Yutian very afraid.In the past, Madam was extremely cautious on the outside, what's the matter now?If Madam really wants to see the wind churning the snow, she must accompany him to the end.Eating at the same table with her at home, and stirring the snow with her at the theater, wouldn't that make their personal relationship public?Is she acting like this out of anger, or does she really want to take this step? Yutian didn't dare to think deeply.Madame is kind to him.He couldn't ruin Mrs.But he can't stop it.When he was in a hurry, he thought of only one person: Xiao Shuilian. He hurriedly told Shui Lian the news that he was going to catch a show later in the afternoon.When Shui Lian heard this, she was of course very happy, and ran back to choose clothes. For a while, the wife didn't ask him to go.It shows that Madam agreed to take Shuilian there.Yu Tian breathed a sigh of relief.If you take water lotus with you, you won't have to watch the wind stir up the snow. When they went out later in the afternoon, a carriage was really full. Mrs. Yao, Shui Lian, and Lan Ni hugged Xiao Fusheng, and they also pulled a few benches for watching the theater.Madam also asked Yutian to squeeze in, how could he squeeze in! But when it came to the meeting, Mrs. Yao insisted that Yutian accompany them for a stroll.Yutian said that he first moved the bench to occupy a good space in the theater.Don't worry if Madam refuses to let me say that no man will follow!He had no choice but to accompany the stroll. Madam supported his shoulders from beginning to end, and squeezed through the crowd generously.Yu Tian felt extremely uneasy!Fortunately, in the atmosphere of the temple fair, no one paid much attention.Even Shui Lian and Lan Ni who followed her didn't care. When entering the arena at night, Madam asked Shui Lian to sit on one side next to her, Yu Tian to sit next to her on the other side, and Lan Ni to sit on the other side next to Shui Lian.Yutian was a little embarrassed, but his wife couldn't explain it.Looking at the atmosphere in the theater, he seemed to be more tolerant, not caring about anyone, so he felt more at ease. The martial arts show at the beginning was just chaotic, instead of good kung fu, the dust on the stage was rising and flying towards the audience.There seemed to be few people watching the play in the theater, and it was noisy.So when the martial arts show ended, Shui Lian and Lan Ni were both dozing off.Fusheng also fell asleep in his wife's arms. Yu Tian said: Erniang, this show is not worth watching, we should go back.Seeing them stumbling around, are you here to suffer? Mrs. Yao said: Tell them to take the car back, let's watch, the serious show hasn't started yet. When she was talking, she woke up Shuilian and Lan Ni, and told her to hug Fu Sheng and go back to the village by car.He also explained that there is no need for horses and chariots to come again, and carefully close the door.She has Yu Tian to serve her, so after the show, she can just hire a sedan chair.Yutian had no choice but to send them to the car and explained to the driver. As soon as he came back and sat down with his wife, he felt her feet stretched out and hooked his legs. It was late at night after the re-opening of the play, and the big play was not sung seriously, so the wind stirred up the snow.Yutian really hasn't experienced this scene, and always feels uncomfortable.Seeing the deadly place, I simply feel ashamed. But Madam is like a raging fire, she doesn't care about anything, she just lets the wild wind blow her.Before the play ended, she pulled Yu Tian and squeezed out of the theater.He didn't hire a car or sedan, just held Yutian's hand tightly, talked wildly, and walked into the wilderness. The mad lady in the wilderness really frightened Yutian. It was this night that made Wen Yutian make up his mind. Half a year later, he really followed a camel caravan and left without saying goodbye.This is the result of his secret efforts for half a year.Taking advantage of the opportunity of going to the city to buy and do business, he found an old friend of his father, entrusted him as a guarantor, and obtained an apprenticeship outside his mouth. Mrs. Yao almost went crazy after she was convinced that Yu Tian would not come back.Strangely, it didn't take long before she seemed to quiet down.What's more, this time she returned to the old days of persevering, only waiting for the man to come back from get off work.This is something. three In those few days, the villagers around Longquan Temple in Fengshan also wrote a few operas in order to thank the Dragon King.Due to the donation from the firm, serious theater troupes are invited here, and the temple fair is also large in scale. It's just that the Kang family has no habit of going to theaters, let alone going to theaters like temple fairs.Therefore, no one in the Kang family took it seriously when they heard that Longquan Temple was singing an opera.Only Rumei was a little moved. After the situation calmed down, the old man let go: Hurry up and talk to the Chang family in Yuci, pick a date, and marry Meimei over.Then, the two ends were stretched out, and the auspicious day was set on the sixth day of September. In this regard, Rumei is very sad.She felt that the old man was eager to drive her away!Ever since she met that mysterious old nun in Fengshan, the old man has been estranged from her.Although her father didn't alienate her, he also warned her not to think wildly, let alone inquire about things she shouldn't know.She really wanted to listen to her father, but the more they were like this, the more she couldn't let go. Seeing that she is about to get married and become a married woman, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to travel.Looking back on Girls' Generation, what Rumei regrets the most is that she was not able to take a few more trips with her father.After finally going to the south of the Yangtze River, it happened that the old lady passed away.As soon as I arrived in Hangzhou, I rushed back day and night! Just when she was so sentimental, the thought flashed out again: I just painted the portrait of the old lady in the early winter of last year, fell ill in the twelfth lunar month, became seriously ill in the first month of this year, and died in February?This seems to be step by step, arranged?Although the painting of the old lady was a Western portrait, the size was the size of the portrait. On the way back from Jiangnan, Rumei once asked her father about this question, and was reprimanded by her father. But now this doubt has not disappeared, it has become a kind of temptation: Rumei really wants to visit the nunnery in Fengshan privately again, to see if she can meet the newly deceased old lady At Rumei's age, once this idea is formed, it cannot be suppressed; the more you suppress it, the more you want to try it.What's more, she's used to being willful again.As Girls' Generation is coming to an end, she doesn't want to let go of this adventure. It's just that she couldn't find an excuse to go to Fengshan.Those coachmen, tell them to go anywhere, but no one wants to take her to Fengshan.She suspected that this was an order from the old master, and no one dared to disobey it. So, as soon as I heard that Longquan Temple in Fengshan was singing an opera for a meeting, I wanted to take the opportunity to go there.But she can only pester her mother.Although my father was at home, he was so busy that it was difficult to see him.As for the mother, not only did she not let go, she even spoke out to her.The mother is now the main mother-in-law, blindly guarding the rules of the Kang family, scolding her for being unruly.Rumei had no choice but to give up. But after a while, she had an idea. She pretended nothing had happened, and stayed up late before going to see her mother again.The mother thought she was pestering her again, so she lowered her face, and said hurriedly: "Mom, what's the matter?"I can't come to see you? The mother snorted and said: Who knows what good things you have! Then don't say anything, don't say anything. What are you trying to say? Stop talking! What on earth are you trying to say? Mom, you always say that I am not sensible, I want to be sensible, but you still look annoyed!I am sensible and I am not sensible, so what do I say it does? Damn girl, what on earth are you trying to say! I see my father and you, looking inside and out, busier than anyone else, so I want to visit grandpa and grandma on your behalf.I don't know if this is sensible or not? Meimei, didn't I already mean that?You just don't like to go! Go now, is it not too late? What words!If you want to go, go quickly. Rumei's grandfather's house is in the same village as Shopkeeper Dai of Jinghao, not far away in Yangyi Town.Although it is also a big family, it cannot be compared with the Kang family, nor does it have as many rules as the Kang family.Especially the two elderly people who dote on Rumei very much, why not agree to her request?Since Rumei was planning to go to Fengshan to spy on secrets, she finally thought of using these two old people. Early the next morning, Sanniang solemnly dispatched chariots and horses, brought a gift box, and sent Rumei to Yangyi. When she arrived at her grandfather's house, Rumei changed her mind again: she was not in a hurry to ask to go to Fengshan for the meeting.Based on her experience, the mysterious nunnery must be closed tightly when she is rushing to sing an opera.If you go, you will go in vain.Therefore, she lived here with peace of mind and tried her best to please her grandparents. After the Longquan Temple meeting was over, she said to her grandparents: I am getting married soon, and I want to make a wish at Longquan Temple.I rushed to the meeting two days ago and thought it was chaotic, but now I have finished the meeting and it is quiet.The two old men listened, how could they stop them?Hurry up to arrange chariots and horses, choose servants, and ask one of her cousins ​​to accompany her. Ru Mei was really excited. After coming to Longquan Temple, she repeated the old trick. After offering incense and making a wish in the Great Buddha Hall, she advocated climbing mountains.The cousin who accompanied her has little feet, how can she climb a mountain?Seeing that there are few pilgrims, I am afraid that there will be accidents going up the mountain, so I am not willing to let her go.Rumei had already figured out a countermeasure, so she said: Cousin is worried because I am a girl, right?Then I'll pretend to be a boy, or I'll do it! Cousin couldn't work it out, so I had to let her go.Rumei borrowed a cloth jacket from the male servants to put it on, and wrapped a cloth towel around her head.My cousin said she didn't look like a man, she said she could be a maid, but she was in a hurry to leave.The cousin asked two male servants to follow and serve. After leaving the monastery, Rumei walked briskly, trying to get rid of the servants.But these two male servants regard Rumei as a princess, and they are careful to curry favor, not daring to make mistakes.Therefore, no matter whether Rumei walks fast or slow, she always follows closely behind.Rumei thought for a while, these two male servants are not from the Kang family either, so follow along. She dragged the two menservants up and down the hill into the silent valley. The two servants panicked and asked, "Where is this going?" Rumei said in a somewhat mysterious tone: There is a small temple in front, and the lottery is very effective! The two servants didn't believe it, so they said, "Why haven't I heard of it?" Rumei said even more mysteriously: This is the place where women ask for lottery, how do you men know!Women are especially good at asking for lots. The servant stopped talking. But when we arrived at the nunnery, the gate was closed and there was no one around. A male servant asked: Is this a small temple? Rumei nodded. Another male servant said: Then I went to knock on the door? Rumei hurriedly said: Don't knock.The more you knock, the harder it is for people to open.I knocked on the door and forced my way in, but the lottery didn't work. So we made a trip for nothing? Rumei said: first find a place to sit in the shade of a tree, I am also tired.After a while, the temple gate may open. I took a look, and there were a few vigorous old pine trees not far away, and I went to rest in the shade.After sitting for a while, the nunnery still remained silent.Rumei began to doubt what she saw last time.What I saw here that time, I told anyone when I went back, but I didn’t believe it.Not only did he not believe it, but he also laughed at her and scolded her.Therefore, she has doubted many times: Did she take the dream seriously?I met an old nun with a beauty spot on her face, and asked Liu Ye, maybe all this was just a dream she had? Looking at everything here now, I have seen the small temple before, but is it a nunnery?The mountain gate was closed tightly, and there was no movement.She didn't ask the servant to knock on the door, because she was afraid of seeing the old nun again and causing more trouble, and she was afraid that it was not the nun who came out to open the door, but the monk!Then her dream will really be broken, and it will be broken in a dull way. Sitting so stupidly, the two footmen soon became impatient.One was going to knock on the door again, and the other advised her to go back to Longquan Temple first.She sat patiently for a while, but still saw no movement, so she had no choice but to stand up.After thinking about it, let's leave for now, and don't knock on the door rashly.Maybe because the Longquan Temple meeting just passed, the nunnery dared not open the door easily, she still hoped that it was the nunnery, not a dream of hers. The three walked out along the valley, and when they were about to leave the valley, Rumei saw a monk walking towards them.Because the most conspicuous thing was the bald head and cassock, so she concluded that it was a monk.Ru Mei is quite disappointed!When the monk entered the valley, he could only go to the small temple: it was not a nunnery?Do you really take your dreams seriously? In this state of mind, Rumei didn't pay much attention to this monk.He just waited until the moment when he was about to miss it when he got close, then he raised his eyes inadvertently and took a look.After reading it, she seemed to have no special expression, but after walking about ten steps, the two servants realized that she had stopped talking!Asked nothing and didn't answer, asked her to stop and didn't stop, just walked straight ahead like that The two servants panicked. The third master was at the Tiancheng Yuanlao, discussing the Beijing-Tianjin issue with the shopkeeper, Sun Da, when he saw that Sanniang sent someone to ask him to go back, he wanted to push it off.The servant said it was urgent, and he must invite the third master back.He asked what was the urgent matter, but the servant said that Sanniang didn't explain anything. Sanniang had never been so aggressive.The third master asked: Is the old man in a hurry? The servant hurriedly said: "The old man is fine!" This is even more puzzling.The third master had no choice but to rush back to Kangzhuang.As soon as he entered the door and heard Sanniang tell him, the third master's face immediately turned serious, and he hurriedly asked Sanniang: Didn't this matter go public? Sanniang said: I don't know that the old man loves Rumei?Therefore, I haven't dared to speak out, for fear of alarming the old man.On the other side of her grandfather, afraid of being blamed here, he only came to report to me, but he didn't dare to send Rumei back.I think this crazy girl must have been obsessed with something dirty! The third master said: You don't have to panic, just wait at home as if nothing happened.Don't tell anyone about this.I'm going to Yangyi now! Sanniang hurriedly said: I won't go anywhere!Not only Rumei, her grandparents were also frightened! 汝梅曾有鳳山遇神秘老尼那種經歷，三娘其實並不知道。汝梅不會跟她說，三爺也沒對她說，所以，她也並不知道事態的嚴峻，只想去看看中了邪的女兒，也安慰一下擔驚受怕的父母。可三爺斷然不許她回娘家，說她一走，動靜太大，驚動了老太爺，更麻煩。 三娘也只好遵命。 Four 三爺到楊邑後，兩位老人直說道歉的話。三爺就說：她自小就野，哪能怨你們！只是，這事沒張揚出去吧？ 岳丈慌忙說：這事著急還著急不過來呢，哪顧上張揚！ 三爺說：就怕你們太驚慌，吵嚷得滿世界都知道了 No no.一見梅梅成了這樣，就趕緊給你們報訊！除此，還能去給誰說？ 三爺才說：那就好。不過小事一件，太驚慌了，叫人家笑話。 岳母就不高興了，說：梅梅都成了這樣，還是小事？ 關起門來，你們說成多大的事，也無妨的！ 三爺又應付了幾句，就去見汝梅。 初看，汝梅倒沒有什麼異常，但他走近，她竟像認不得似的。三爺叫一聲梅梅，不但不應，連看也不看她一眼。 三爺到她跟前，連著叫了幾聲，還是不答應。 兩位老人焦急萬分，連說：自從鳳山回來，就沒見她張過嘴，說過話！How can this be good?趕緊請有本事的道士吧？ 三爺叫來那兩個跟著的男僕，詳細問了問出事經過。之後就叫大家都迴避了，只留他和汝梅，看能不能叫應她。 兩位老人及其他主僕，也只好都退出來。 三爺把房門閉上後，先親近和氣地叫梅梅，她不應，也依然問她話，交談似的與她說話。還特別說：過幾天，就帶你去一趟京師！可折騰了半天，還是不頂事，她依然直著眼，不認人。 三爺知道汝梅是驚嚇過度了。但遇見一個和尚，就嚇成這樣？她又把這個和尚看成誰了？以前她說過，遇見一個老尼姑，臉上有顆美人痣，很像死去的老夫人。一個和尚，又能像誰？難道是跟她的那兩個男僕有什麼非禮之舉？三爺剛才詢問他們時，留心細察，兩人並不像做過壞事的樣子。 三爺常跑口外，經見過驚嚇過度的人事。對嚇傻了的伙友，有時猛然給他一巴掌，倒能將其喚醒。可汝梅是個女子，更是自家的愛女，真無法下手抽她這一巴掌。可她真要嚇傻了，跟誰也不好交代。 這樣一著急，三爺那火暴強悍的脾氣又上來了，面對著汝梅，猛然大喝了一聲：你是誰？你不要纏她 三爺也不知怎麼就喊了這樣一句，但這一聲喝叫，是那種在荒原練出來的吼叫，爆發慢，後勁大，給憋在屋裡一迴盪，真是很可怕。 這樣一喝叫，真還把汝梅震動了，眼珠先就抖了一下，跟著轉動起來，跟著又哇一聲哭了出來，撲過來摟住了父親。 三爺就叫了聲：梅梅 汝梅答應了一聲。 三爺又問：你認得我吧？ 汝梅說：認得，爹！ 謝天謝地，總算把她吼醒了：三爺終於鬆了一口氣。 聽到這邊吼叫，汝梅的外爺外婆一干人都慌忙擁來。見汝梅已哭出聲來，也都長出了口氣。兩位老人正想細問汝梅受驚緣由，三爺立刻止住，說：我也餓了，汝梅你餓不餓？快去給我們張羅吃喝吧！ 三爺把圍著的人打發開，又哄汝梅止住哭。汝梅雖能認得人了，還是有些癡呆。三爺也就不再多問，儘量說些她願意聽的。 那天天快黑時，三爺和汝梅同坐了一輛馬車，回到康莊。臨別時，三爺又特別囑咐了岳丈：汝梅鳳山受驚這件事，千萬不要張揚出去。 到家後，三爺也攔住三娘，不叫她問長問短，只說：梅梅也沒什麼事，累了，不想多說話，倆老人就大驚小怪！ 此後幾天，三爺也不叫多說受驚的事。他也沒有怎麼外出，儘量多陪著汝梅。但汝梅分明像變了一個人，成天不大言語，那幾分癡呆氣也未消去。尤其三爺不在跟前時，更膽怯異常，像害怕什麼似的。 三娘早著急了，直對三爺說：梅梅還是中了邪！請道士，還是請神婆，得趕緊想辦法呀！梅梅老這樣，還得了？ 三爺就瞪她：你就想折騰得驚動了老太爺？我看梅梅是有心事，慢慢哄她說出來，就沒事了。就只想中邪！ 她有什麼心事，能這樣重？把人都壓垮了！ 她眼看要嫁人了，能沒心事？她去龍泉寺，就是為了許願。 三爺這樣說，是為了穩住三娘：汝梅受驚的實情，他不想叫三娘知道。而汝梅受驚的實情，他也還未正經問呢。不是不想問，是想緩一緩，能問出個究竟來。 又過了幾天，三爺才把汝梅叫到自己的賬房裡。先告汝梅說，最近他想去趟京師，只是放心不下她。汝梅立刻就有些慌張，說： 爹你去哪，也得帶著我，我一人可不敢在家！ 三爺就說：我也想帶你，可你現在這樣，怎麼能出門？ 汝梅說：我是害怕！跟著你，我才好些。 梅梅，你從小就是膽大的女娃，有什麼能叫你害怕？我看你是胡思亂想，自家嚇唬自家呢。要不，你是聽了誰的胡言亂語了？ No!我是碰見一個人，沒把我嚇死！ 碰見誰了？又是一個老尼姑？你還沒忘了那件事？早跟你說了，我派人去打聽過，鳳山裡頭就沒尼姑庵！ 不是老尼姑。 Who is that?一個和尚？ 汝梅又直著眼，不說話了。 三爺就說：梅梅，看看你，又犯傻了！老這樣，我怎麼帶你出門？ 汝梅才說：我在鳳山碰見一個人。 who? 洋畫上畫的那個人。 洋畫？ 給她畫了一張洋畫，也給我畫了一張洋畫。 三爺聽明白是誰了，可他也幾乎給嚇傻了：新逝的老夫人？How can this be! 他努力鎮靜下來，說：梅梅，你怎麼淨愛這樣胡思亂想？他們說你碰見的是一個和尚 汝梅直著眼說：她不是和尚，和尚就是她。剃了頭髮，一身法衣，走路輕盈，遠看像和尚，近看就是她 梅梅，你還認得我吧？ 爹，你不信，親自去一趟！以前天天見她，我能認不得她？ 梅梅，梅梅 爹，連你也不信我？ 信你，信你！ 三爺極力安撫住汝梅，並故作神秘狀，好像要與她一道共享秘密，結成同謀，先不向任何人說出這件事。這一招，似乎還叫汝梅滿意。 但三爺心裡，卻是驚濤洶湧！ 真會是她？ 她真還活著？ 她的喪事，那場浩大豪華的喪事，他是自始至終都參與操辦了。她怎麼可能沒有死？她入殮時，他還沒有趕回來，未見她的遺容。但別人見了！ 三爺不是糊塗人。他疼汝梅，也不會輕信她一個小女子的胡思亂想。他心起驚濤，那是有更深的緣由。身在康家，他對老夫人的頻頻亡故，已是早有些影影綽綽的疑慮。但那關乎老太爺的尊嚴，他儘量不去想那種事。 六爺的生母去世時，三爺已近而立之年。他冷眼看去，已覺有幾分突然。待將杜氏續來做老夫人，三爺便更生疑惑了。杜氏那時一半京味，一半洋氣，正風靡太谷。老太爺就趕得那麼巧，正好喪婦？ 不過，三爺寧可相信那只是自己偏心的猜疑，因為他也是激賞杜氏的！杜氏風頭最勁的時候，三爺曾邀了幾位友人，往杜家拜訪過。那一次，杜氏也出來了，與他們談笑風生，真是明麗芳香之極。他哪裡料到，父親居然把杜氏娶了回來！這真是太叫他意外，也太叫他傷心。 那時，他早有妻小，按家規他根本不可能娶杜氏的。但居然是父親把杜氏娶回來，三爺還是太難接受！所以，他生疑惑，也許是偏心使然，妒意使然吧。 杜氏初進康家那幾年，三爺遠走口外，將這一切深埋心底，永遠不想動它了。世間除了他自己，也永遠不會有人知道這一切。 可是，去年冬天帶汝梅下江南時，汝梅說了她在鳳山的奇遇，三爺當下就震驚了：他的猜疑原來也不謬？前頭那位老夫人，難道真是明亡暗廢？可那樣浩浩蕩蕩發喪了，怎麼活下來，又怎麼藏到山中的尼姑庵？尊貴為老夫人，就那樣聽任擺佈？他無法細想，只是告誡汝梅，不要胡思亂想，不要什麼都想知道。大戶人家，宅院太深了，不要什麼都想知道。 他當然疑心過汝梅的奇遇。她自小就愛瘋跑，也愛發奇想。可她與老太爺老夫人無冤無仇，不會有什麼偏心。童言無忌，童眼也無忌！ 但那一次汝梅的奇遇，三爺只是驚異，卻不想去觸動。那一位老夫人故去已經多年，也無法去觸動。這是去觸動老太爺，三爺他怎麼敢！ 這一次，汝梅居然又撞上了杜氏這個梅梅，她操了這份心，探到了更可怕的隱秘，沒有把她嚇死！可他依然不能去觸動吧，決不能去觸動。 老太爺已經把半個家交給了他。 但她真沒有死嗎？ 真沒有死，又能怎樣？ 忍了幾天，三爺還是無法放下這件事，無法放下這個杜氏。在想了又想之後，他決定去做一件事：派一個可靠的人，去鳳山暗訪一次那座尼姑庵，驗證一下汝梅所說的，到底有幾分真，幾分假。 他也只做這一件事，只走這一步。不管驗證的結果是真是假，他都到此為止了。他與杜氏也沒有一點情分，犯不著為了她，去觸動老太爺最要命的地界。 這件事，他也可以不做，只是按捺不下。 畢竟是杜氏，一個深藏在他心底的女人，與眾不同的女人，下場太淒慘的女人。 但做這件事，還是太難了。 派誰去呢？這個出面暗訪尼姑庵的人，不能露出一絲與他有關的痕跡。一旦露出，必為老太爺所察，那後果不堪設想。這是與老太爺周旋！ 三爺想了許多方案，都覺不妥。在太谷，他可託靠的人，都是康家的熟人，老太爺的熟人。 他沒有自成體系的心腹，他哪想過要與老太爺周旋？口外倒有他自己的知交，可將那些人召來，也是太顯眼了。 他終日這樣憂愁，從小就時刻跟著伺候他的一個家僕見了，知道主家有了大的犯難事，便試探著問了一句：三爺，遇什麼難處了？ 三爺掃了他一眼，順嘴就說：我有什麼難處？京津剛叫人放心，我在家歇兩天吧，有什麼難處！ 剛這樣說完，忽然就閃出一個念頭來：這件事也許該交給這個人去辦？這個叫宋永義的家僕，從小就跟了他，跑口外、下江南也跟著，常為他辦事。他對永義，也一向當心腹使喚。如果連這個人也不能託靠，那他還能成什麼大事？ 這樣一想，三爺就斷然決定：將這件事交永義去辦。辦成，那當然好；辦不成，甚至將自己敗露出來，那也認了：半輩子了，連身邊這個心腹也為不下，倒霉也活該了！ 於是，他瞅了一個單獨的機會，先對永義說：你能瞅出我有心事，也算沒白疼你！ 永義就跪了說：也許我不該多嘴！ 三爺先叫他起來，才說：永義，我是有一件事想叫你去辦。事情也不難辦，只是，除了你我，誰也不能叫知道。連你三娘，老太爺，也一樣。 永義說：我知道了。 三爺還想叮嚀，一想，罷了，就交代了要辦的事：找個可靠、又與他康三爺不相干的人，最好是個老婦人，叫她去給鳳山一座尼姑庵，捐一筆香火錢；然後打聽清庵裡有幾位女尼，什麼模樣。 永義聽了，就說：這事好辦。 三爺想問問他派誰去，也作罷了，只說了句：小心去辦吧。 在此後的幾天裡，三爺見了永義也沒多問。但心裡卻不平靜：他這是正式跟老太爺周旋開了。也許，老太爺會給他一個意想不到的下馬威？ 五天後，永義給他回了話：三爺交代的事，已辦妥。跑了兩趟，香火錢才捐上，進去拜了佛。庵裡只有一位法號叫月地的女尼，四十多歲，面容甚清俊，只是瘸腿。 三爺極力平靜地問了一句：就一位女尼？ 永義說：聽說原來是兩位。那一位法號名雪地，十天前雲遊外地名寺走了。 十天前？那位雪地什麼模樣，問了沒有？ 說是三十多歲，因未纏過足，行走方便，故外出雲遊去了。對了，還說那位叫月地的女尼，臉上有顆痣。 有顆痣！那汝梅所見的一切，都是真的了？三十多歲，天足，這也像杜氏吧？可她偏偏在這個時候，就雲遊走了？難道老太爺有了覺察？可十天前，他什麼動作也沒有，只是在安撫汝梅，連她所見的詳情還沒問呢。 杜氏也認出了汝梅嗎？ 杜氏真還活著？她雲遊外地名寺去了？ 三爺為了使自己平靜下來，問了問永義派誰去的。永義說，是編了個理由，求他姑母託了一相知的婦人，出面去給捐的香火。頭一次跑去，人家不收佈施。第二次，又託說為還願，必須捐出佈施，才能保她獨子長久平安。這才收了。 三爺讚揚了兩句，並叮囑說：這事關乎汝梅，除了你我，不能再給第三人說。你姑母那裡，也叮嚀一下。 他是想將事情的嚴重性稍作化解，才這樣說的。永義似乎也未生疑心，連聲應承了。 過了幾天，三爺去見老太爺，說：西安信報說，朝廷快起蹕回京了。我想即日啟程，趕赴京師。京津兩號此次開局驚天動地，我該去親歷一番的。 老太爺說：那你就去吧，只是餘波了。 汝梅近來鬱悶不樂，我想帶她出外走走，趕九月初六，送她回來。 不想嫁人，是吧？一路上，你也說說她，女娃家，不能野一輩子！ 老太爺沒有一點異常，什麼都應承。三爺雖鬆了一口氣，但第二天一早，還是真帶了汝梅，踏上了赴京之路。 路上，他常忍不住要想：杜氏是否也往京師雲遊去了？ five 十天前，杜筠青真是離開鳳山，往京師西山雲遊去了。說雲遊，其實是下了決心，棄太谷而去，棄俗世而去。移往京師，那卻不是她自家的選擇，是隨了剃度她的法師而去。杜筠青此去，將在京師西山事佛到底，修煉餘生。 她此時出走，也同汝梅沒有一絲相關，與整個康家都無一絲相關的。 那天她與汝梅迎面相遇，實在是什麼也沒有看清。不用說那天汝梅扮得不男不女，就是熟臉本相，杜筠青也不會留意到的。她真有些兩眼皆空了，俗世的一切，都視而不見。就連終日與她做伴的月地，她也越來越疏遠。因為月地到底不願捨棄俗世，雖然月地的俗世，幾乎什麼也沒有了，就剩下一位六爺。 杜筠青的俗世，那是已經四大皆空，乾乾淨淨。她丟棄它，自然而然。 月地也很驚異杜氏的變化，這才幾天，她竟修煉成另外一個人，冰冷而淨潔，真如她自挑的法號：雪地。 六個月前，杜筠青知道了自己身處何處，本來想認命了，乾脆真剃度出家，與康家永處兩個世界。她比起前面兩位老夫人，畢竟有不同，她畢竟報復過老東西了，或者，她自己畢竟是有罪孽的。 她真的懇請月地給自己剃度。月地先是嫌她入庵時日太短，半年以後再說此事也不遲。反正已在陽世以外了，一切都可以從容的。杜筠青疑心月地嫌她決心未下，就說：既不能立馬剃度，那她自家總可以剪去這一頭青絲，以明出家之志。 月地算是相信她了，可還是說：我自己還未正式剃度，哪能來度你？你既有此決心，也得從容拜一法師，由她來收你入戒。 杜筠青就說：近處即有龍泉寺，請一法師來，也不難吧？ 月地卻說：龍泉寺戒行也不嚴，如今那裡也沒有一位道行深厚的高僧住寺。等有法力的尼僧雲遊過來，你再受戒剃度，不是更好嗎？ 杜筠青說：什麼時候，才能等來這樣的高僧？ 月地說：你既心誠
