Thanks for the invitation: In ancient times, people shared children

Chapter 187

Zhang Fengci was a eunuch, so naturally he had no children. He had adopted some godchildren before, but he was not very good to those people. They just used each other, so how could they have any true love for each other?

Once he fell from power, all those who had tried to take advantage of him ran away.

Only one person remained, neither a son nor a daughter, but his wife...

I guess she’s my wife.

They had never been married, they just lived together, one was a palace maid and the other was a eunuch, and it was common for them to be lonely.

The palace called those who lived together like this and were determined not to separate "Cai Hu".

She didn't have to leave, but she still came with him to this remote place.

Even if you have no future, there is no need to worry all day long.

It's quite merry.

Unfortunately, she only had two years of good life before she died of illness.

The man was good in every way except that he was a little weak. He fell ill on the way here, and after arriving he had trouble acclimatizing to the local climate. He had some minor ailments intermittently, and he knew that he was not well.

But that person was stubborn and had made up his mind, so he wouldn't listen to anyone.

He threw her into the carriage today, and came back tomorrow, and she still had to slap him twice. He was so stubborn.

In the end, I stubbornly killed myself here.

Zhang Fengci placed her tablet in Fayuan Temple and went there to talk with her every year on her memorial day.

Apart from that, there is nothing much that can be done.

After that he was alone.

He didn't want to have any godchildren, he just waited for him to get too old and fall into the pond. If those who knew him were kind enough, they would bury him next to her.

If not, forget it.

He knew that there might not be an afterlife, and even if there was, she definitely wasn't waiting for him.

Otherwise, that naughty kid who claimed he could see ghosts would have started yelling a long time ago.

In fact, after spending a long time with this child, I found that he was a bit like her, which was quite annoying.

But not that similar.

He dared to say that such children were everywhere, and he could grab a handful of them at random, and there would definitely be some who looked like his own children.

But what's the use.

It's not true, and he doesn't want to raise a child.

He had been alone for a long time, so he became talkative and his temper had improved. Moreover, this child happened to be an alien and was very useful to him, so he was misunderstood.

That's for sure.

If you change the child, he will be just as kind.

Zhang Fengci thought to himself: I would never raise her no matter who else I raise. That naughty child is not someone you can take care of easily.

I will be more indifferent to her in the future so that others won’t misunderstand me.

Having figured it out, Eunuch Zhang fell asleep peacefully.

The kid next door knew nothing about it and was still happily eating the vegetarian food he brought back.

Lian Li said that the vegetarian meals at Fayuan Temple are very good and are very famous in Suicheng. Unfortunately, they are only free on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month. You have to pay for them on weekdays, making the temple like a restaurant. Many people who come here because of its reputation have some complaints.

The child didn't understand: "What are you complaining about?"

"Just blame them for not giving it away for free," Lian Li thought, thinking that he wouldn't see her tomorrow, and now he was willing to talk to her a few more times. "In other temples, vegetarian meals are all you can eat, and if they're gone, you can only blame yourself for going too late. But it's different here, so naturally everyone has complaints."

"They can just not eat, or go when it's free." The child thought this problem was easy to solve.

But Lian Li said, "They don't care about that. Besides, they don't accept money from everyone. When the amount of incense donations reaches a certain level, they don't charge for the vegetarian meals. Some pilgrims get even more angry when they see this, but there aren't many of them."

"Isn't it just that they wanted to take advantage but didn't get it, so they got angry and embarrassed?" the child asked curiously. "Are other temples richer than Hoenji? Otherwise, why don't they offer vegetarian meals for free?"

"They're not as good as Hoenji, except they only provide meals on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month."

Child:……

Lian Li also said to the child considerately, "Originally, Hoenji was like this, but later on, too many people wanted to try the vegetarian food, so they came up with the idea of ​​charging money."

"I don't think there's anything wrong with that, right?"

"It's hard to satisfy everyone, it's impossible to satisfy everyone," Lian Li said with a smile, "but those who complain will go too."

"why?"

"It works," Lian Li thought she was really not smart. "When you have time, go and pray to the Buddha. Maybe you will become smarter in the future."

Child:……

"You should go and pray too. Ask Him to bless you so that you won't feel any pain when you're beaten in the future."

The child gnashed his teeth and stomped on Lianlijiao's face. He cried out in pain, but he still said something mean:

"You're not even allowed to tell the truth. This is not right. People should be more open-minded."

The children were shocked: "How dare you teach me how to behave like this?"

Lian Li smiled innocently and said, "What's wrong with me? I'm a straightforward person with a compassionate heart. I treat others with a sincere heart..."

The child was so engrossed in listening that he could hardly eat.

Chen Dianshan interrupted, "Eat your meal properly and don't disgust me. Is that you? You're eating vegetarian food and saying such nonsense. Aren't you afraid of Buddha's blame?"

Child: "That's right! Wait till the thunder comes and you'll behave yourself."

Lian Li pretended to be sad: "Is this the reward for my sincere heart? Don't you feel any pain when you curse me like this? If something really happens to me..."

"It's all your own fault." The child refused to take the blame.

Chen Dianshan nodded in agreement.

Lian Li: "Humph, none of them are good!"

When he got angry, he didn't forget to snatch food from the children.

The child was late again, and Mrs. Chai looked at her helplessly.

It made her feel ashamed.

As soon as she arrived at Zhang's house in the evening, she started to complain about Lian Li, but Zhang Fengci didn't want to pay any attention to her.

Child: "Why aren't you talking? Don't you want to pay attention to me? Are you mad at me? What did I do wrong?"

Zhang Fengci: ...

Does she know that when ordinary people see others being indifferent, they will quietly walk away instead of coming over to ask questions?

Zhang Fengci looked at her speechlessly.

The child thought again and again: "Is it because of the bacon and salted fish in the kitchen? You haven't been home for a long time, and I was afraid they would go bad, so I took them back and ate them. You also said that there is everything in the kitchen and I can cook them."

Zhang Fengci really didn't know about this.

but……

"Bacon and salted fish? You want to eat them?"

"It doesn't matter who eats it," the child's eyes wandered with guilt, but he had to admit under his gaze, "Pumpkin pulled them all off when no one was paying attention. I couldn't hang the dirty ones back, so I took them home. Aunt Yu washed them and shared them with Pumpkin."

Let’s not talk about whether bacon and salted fish will go bad.

"That's seven or eight dollars."

Child: "I forgot to lock the door, and it was already like that when I found it."

She originally wanted to go in to see if there was anything she was afraid of spoiling, but ended up letting in a little thief.

"I can compensate you," the child said boldly, then whispered, "Can you charge less?"

The child was a little reluctant to give up the monthly allowance he had just received, and tried to test him: "How about you give me a beating and then I can give you a lower salary?"

Seeing that he still didn't say anything, the child said again: "At worst, you can beat me up and I'll give you a little more compensation. You can't hit the pumpkin, but you can touch it."

After she said that, she looked at Zhang Fengci's expression cautiously.

It just seems cautious.

Zhang Fengci knew her too well. If this didn't work, she would resort to trickery.

He is not a cruel person.

For bacon and salted fish, what’s the big deal?

He almost forgot about those pieces of bacon because he accompanied her to eat vegetarian food every day.

Zhang Fengci was angry and thought: Why should I accompany her to eat vegetarian food?

meat!

I want to eat meat!

"Forget it, go tell Uncle Li Er to cook more meat tonight."

The child understood and immediately ran over, saying loudly, "Uncle Li, hurry up and cook the remaining salted fish and bacon, otherwise they will be ruined by the pumpkin and Eunuch Zhang will be heartbroken."

Shouldn't I?

and many more?

What is this nonsense?

Why does it sound like I'm stingy?

That big fat cat has eaten so much, did I say anything?

Zhang Fengci gritted his teeth and said, "You little bastard!"

It’s true that a dog’s mouth can’t spit out ivory!

Before he could finish his words, the child with good hearing came running back: "What's wrong? What's wrong with me? Is it about the tea? Lian Li said he could make delicious milk tea, but Eunuch Chen couldn't bear to part with the good tea leaves. I wanted to drink it so badly, so I took some."

"what?!"

Zhang Fengci was really angry this time.

The child started to run away.

Zhang Fengci: "Come back! Which jar did you take?"

The child turned around dejectedly and tried to make amends: "It's not the one you like to drink. I took the one you never touched. I guessed you didn't like it that much, so I took it away."

"The one I like to drink?"

"Yes, that's the one you drink every day. I haven't touched a single leaf."

Zhang Fengci: ...Is it possible that the one I drink every day is the one I can touch? The one with the least value?!

And I never moved...

"Is it the particularly solid cake?" Zhang Fengci gestured, holding on to the last bit of expectation, his tone was particularly gentle.

The child said excitedly: "Yes, that's the one, the one tucked away in the corner, so hard to find. Have you almost forgotten what it's called?"

忘？

what!

He will never forget it in his life!

Zhang Fengci laughed out of anger.

OK! OK!

It's been a long time since I felt this kind of heart-wrenching pain.

"Come, kneel here." Zhang Fengci threw a cushion on the ground.

It feels like I haven't seen the child for a long time.

Her shoulders slumped and she fell down resignedly. It felt like she was back in front of the statue of Yinggu.

But what was waiting for her was not obscure scriptures, but Zhang Fengci's bamboo whip.

He has this thing...

Looks like an old item.

After the child thought about it, he stopped being distracted.

Zhang Fengci really beat him up, hitting him all over the face.

Chen Dianshen and Lian Li, who were visiting, were stunned when they heard the voice as soon as they entered the room.

Or maybe Chen Dianshan was a good man, because he immediately came in to dissuade them: "What are you doing? The child is being beaten and howling like a ghost, how pitiful!"

"Pitiable? She's pitiful, but I'm not?" Zhang Fengci was furious. "If you hadn't come, I would have forgotten about it. Lian Li... Go ask that kid what he did. She doesn't know, and he certainly can't recognize her. I only have so many good things, and they ruined them all!"

Chen Dianshen turned around in confusion and saw Lian Li trying to run away. What else could he not understand?

"Why are you running? Come here!"

He actually thought these two people were pretty well behaved!

It turns out that she was doing something evil behind his back!
