Twin Brocade

Chapter 318 Brother and Sister Meet
Fang Shuyu twitched his beard and smiled, said: "No way. Orphans who can survive have their own merits."

This is a big truth. It is extremely difficult for children without parents to live in this world.During wars and famines, kidnappers haunt these places.When you meet someone who sells children and daughters with a straw label, you buy them cheap; when you meet a child who wanders alone, you have to coax and coax them away.

Orphans who can escape these malicious people and survive in the adult world may have different temperaments, but they all have the ability to survive.

Fang Jinshu thanked him solemnly, entrusted the matter to his father, and then left.

At the beginning, she used the heroic empress dowager to conceive a dream, but it was just a temporary excuse.Until now, I found that this matter can explain many things, and it is very easy to use.

A few days later, Si Lansheng took his family members to the Great Compassion Temple.Over there, Mrs. Qiao's water and land dojo is being done.

No matter what the real situation is, this dojo is related to the faces of Qiao and Lu, and it is very grand and lively.Because of the ties between the two families, there were a lot of people present.

Amidst the sound of solemn Buddhist scriptures, after the incense was burnt, Si Lansheng greeted Mrs. Qiao, and walked to the apse with her two daughters.

She didn't see Qiao Tongxuan in the front hall, she was worried.

And Qiao Tongxuan was not in the apse at the moment.

In a side hall at the back that few people come to, the enshrined Buddha statue is kind-hearted, looking down at the warmth and coldness of the world with lowered eyes.A thin layer of ash had grown on the altar in front of the Buddha statue.The sunlight came in from the window lattices to form a beam of light, and the gray dust floating in the air was turned golden by the sunlight.

Qiao Tongxuan knelt on the futon in front of the Buddha statue, clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and prayed.

Her face has been reduced a lot.Between the brows and eyes, there is no trace of the cheerful appearance at the beginning.Not only because Shouxiao can't eat meat, but also the knot in her heart is the reason for tormenting her.

With this appearance, is she still the proud girl of heaven?Without a confident smile, without the innocence of not caring about everything.Only some hearty chivalry remained, but it was also overwhelmed by melancholy.

This side hall has not welcomed believers for a long time.The shaft of the gate was not maintained, and when Qiao Shijie pushed it open, there was a creaking sound.

Hearing the sound, Qiao Tongxuan didn't open her eyes either.She knew who it was, she just felt physically and mentally exhausted and didn't want to move.

Qiao Shijie knelt down on the futon beside her, kowtowed three times to the Bodhisattva, and called out, "Sister."

"Isn't elder brother on a study tour? Why did you come back in such a hurry?" Qiao Tongxuan opened her eyes and asked.

Qiao Shijie made a shy voice, and said, "I just avoided it for the time being, and didn't go far. I will come back no matter what happens to my mother's hundred days."

"Besides, I don't worry about you. I have to send you back to the Lu family, so that I can leave with peace of mind."

Qiao Tongxuan said calmly: "Brother, don't worry about me. If you leave halfway like this, you may lose your trust."

Looking at his sister's current expression, Qiao Shijie only felt distressed, and said in a low voice: "Brother Wen Jue knows that they are waiting for me at the ferry. I will meet them when I finish my business."

"Brother," Qiao Tongxuan got up and said, "I've figured it out these days. You are the eldest son of the Qiao family and the grandson of the Lu family. With this status, as long as you can pass the Jinshi examination, you should be safe."

"As for me, elder brother, you don't have to worry about it. When I return to the Lu family, I will be looked after by my grandmother. After a few years, I will marry into the Fang family, and I will be able to leave the Qiao family." She seemed to be talking about something irrelevant, and said, "Our most important thing right now All that’s missing is time.”

"I want to grow up quickly, so that I can make my own decisions." This feeling of having to depend on others is simply terrible!

Qiao Shijie looked at his sister with relief, and said, "It would be great if you can figure it out for yourself. Mother sacrificed a lot for the two of us. We must live a good life to be worthy of her."

Qiao Tongxuan gave a soft "hmm". Although she was still very concerned about her mother leaving her siblings behind, after a while, she finally accepted this fact.

She will live, find out who killed her mother, live to continue her mother's will.

Since my mother paved the way for me with her life, my life is not only my own, but the continuation of my mother's life.

"Brother, go out quickly, your absence on such a big occasion will cause people to gossip." A child without a mother always becomes extremely sensitive.In the past, how could Qiao Tongxuan notice these things.

Qiao Shijie nodded, and said: "When I came, I saw the eldest wife of the Fang family arriving, and she seemed to be looking for you. My sister, don't stay here either, I'm afraid there will not be much time for you little sisters to be together. "

According to his plan, Mrs. Qiao will send Qiao Tongxuan back to the Lu family in a hundred days.She handed over the handkerchief she had been friends with in the capital, and she would not see her again a few times.

Hearing that someone from the Fang family was coming, Qiao Tongxuan's complexion became brighter, and she and Qiao Shijie left the side hall.

In the apse, all the female relatives gathered here.Familiar people sat together and talked in low voices.This is a water and land training ground set up for Mrs. Qiao, and the ladies and ladies who come here all wear simple and elegant makeup to show respect.

Qiao Tongxuan stood by the door and looked around for a while, found Fang Jinshu's place, and walked over.

Seeing her coming, Fang Jinshu hurriedly went up to meet her, and said in a low voice, "I was looking for you just now, but you just came here." She was considerate and didn't ask her where she went. In Qiao Tongxuan's situation, what is needed is Caring instead of asking.

Taking her by the hand, Qiao Tongxuan went up to Si Lansheng, greeted Si Lansheng, and called Fang Jinhui.

"Why have you lost so much weight?" Si Lansheng pulled her, and said with concern: "You little girl, don't worry so much. I heard from Shu'er that you plan to return to Lu's house for two years?"

She is Qiao Tongxuan's future mother-in-law, so it is only natural to ask her whereabouts.

Qiao Tongxuan answered softly, "Brother was afraid that I would get sick, so he asked me to go back to my grandparents' house to relax. I heard that there are many children there, and there is no shortage of playmates." She only said brother, but never mentioned her father.

Si Lansheng's thoughts were exquisite, and she immediately heard the meaning behind her words.This motherless child just has to suffer.

"Miss Xuan is sensible." Si Lansheng sighed, "It's good to go back, you will be married in three years." After the wedding ceremony, Fang and Qiao's two families will start planning for their wedding.

I don't know if Qiao Tongxuan didn't understand the situation, or if she didn't understand what Si Lansheng said, there was no shyness on her face, she just responded in a low voice.

Seeing her restrained in front of him, Si Lansheng said: "You little sisters, go and talk, don't stay in front of me." Fang Jinshu had a lot to say to Qiao Tongxuan, but if she went, Fang Jinhui would be left alone exist.
