No. 8 Pawnshop

Chapter 68:

Ye Li was about to go out, Mrs. Bai wanted the driver to drive her, but she declined, temporarily staying in Bai’s house is just to have a reasonable identity, and Bai Xiongqi still has some uses .

The sun was just right, Ye Li was walking on the square stone-paved street, the sounds of vendors hawking along the street, and the sound of small conversations all fell into her ears without exception, she closed her eyes, deeply Taking a breath, when he opened his eyes again, his eyes fell on a flower shop in front of him, and a shallow smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Wearing a blue short shirt and a black long skirt, with two braids, the fresh and beautiful looking female student is leaning over and sniffing the only pot of lilies in the flower shop.

She is the guest selected by the pawnshop this time, and she is deserted.

Bai Xiuzhu and Jin Meili also came to the Catholic church they were talking about. It was only a black and white exterior building, which seemed a little solemn. When she walked into the Catholic church, Bai Xiuzhu saw the person Meili said. Young priest.

He was wearing a pure black monk’s uniform, with the iconic cross necklace hanging on his chest, holding a thick Bible in his hand, with a clean and handsome face, with gold-rimmed glasses, The corner of his mouth has a shallow smile, which makes people feel sincere and kind.

Walk towards them slowly.

Incomparably holy, compassionate, and mysteriously ancient.

Bai Xiuzhu suddenly froze in place, but Mei Li, who was beside her, pulled her sleeve before she came back to her senses, “Father Bai is talking to you.”

Father Bai’s clean and charitable eyes caught her eye. She was obviously a young man, but she would feel that the other party was kind and caring, and that everything about her would be tolerated by the other party. Bai Xiuzhu subconsciously put away her arrogance and temper, her voice was much gentler than usual, and politely said, “Hello, Father Bai, I’m Bai Xiuzhu.”

Father Bai smiled gently and said kindly, “Miss Bai, do you want to pray?”

Following Father Bai’s gaze, Bai Xiuzhu saw the cross in front of the church, the tragic Jesus, the holy light of mercy, and the colorful church glass window, falling on her body, she suddenly There was a feeling of wanting to cry, something filled her heart, and she wanted to say it,

Jin Yanxi’s hot and cold for her, years of infatuation, Jin Yanxi is like a gust of wind, she can’t catch him.

“Does he love me?” Bai Xiuzhu asked Father Bai, trying hard not to let her tears fall.

Father Bai showed a kind and gentle smile, “I don’t know if he loves you, but I know that God loves you, and God is willing to bless you.”

God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. — from the Gospel of John

At the flower shop,

In a few words, Ye Li has approached Leng Qingqiu without leaving a trace, and won her a certain favor. Leng Qingqiu seems to be arrogant and cold, but she is actually soft inside and has similar interests. Talented people have a great attitude.

Ye Li picked up a lily and asked Leng Qingqiu, “Do you like lilies?”

Leng Qingqiu smiled softly and implicitly, “Well, I like it very much.”

Ye Li smiled and said, “Then I will give you this pot of lilies.”

Leng Qingqiu was a little surprised, but quickly declined, without merit, but Ye Li added, “Do you know what the flower language of lilies is?”

Not waiting for Leng Qingqiu to think about an answer, she smiled and said, “It’s a blessing, I gave it to you, and it’s my blessing to you.”

Leng Qingqiu really loves lilies and has a good impression of Ye Li, so after thanking Ye Li gratefully, she took the lilies and left with an oil-paper umbrella.

Ye Li looked at the figure she was leaving with the lily flowerpot in her arms, the corner of her mouth smiled, the lily had another flower language, a marriage that lasted a hundred years, a beautiful and pure love, used in such a lonely autumn A girl like a lily can’t be more appropriate and ironic.

Ye Li didn’t think this task would be difficult, even if the Bai family intervened.

Church,

Bai Xiuzhu sat quietly on the seat and prayed with her eyes closed. Jin Meili had never seen Bai Xiuzhu like this. She felt that Bai Xiuzhu was attracted to Catholicism.

Jin Meili didn’t think long before Xiaolian came out of the small door behind the church, holding a book in her hand. When she saw Jin Meili and Bai Xiuzhu, the Miss Bai family, there was some surprise on her face, obviously she didn’t expect Jin Meili to bring Miss Bai.

Xiao Lian said hello to Father Bai first, and then spoke to Jin Meili, Xiao Lian told Jin Meili that she had received the permission of the eldest wife and had accepted Father Bai’s baptism and entered the church, Father Bai She was also very kind and kind enough to let her read all the books in the church, and ask her if she didn’t understand anything.

Jin Meili saw Xiaolian’s heartfelt joy and was really happy for her, but she suddenly remembered another thing, “Xiaolian, do you remember meeting at that wedding? The son of Second Chief Liu? The fifth and sixth sisters said he was inquiring about you.”

Xiao Lian instantly remembered the elegant and handsome young man who had studied in his memory, and the tenderness in his eyes when he looked at him, but she was pretending to be the young lady of the Jin family. The son or his family knew that she was just a servant, and I’m afraid it was just a matter of fate. But listening to Jin Meili’s tone, she was thinking of matching the two of them.

So she said, “Miss Eighth just tell Miss Five and Miss Six, don’t worry about me.”

She knew that the young ladies were good people, so she didn’t look at her as a person, but with her status, how could a humble maid be worthy of a dignified son.

Jin Meili saw that she insisted, so she didn’t say any more. She was young and simple, so she naturally believed that the pursuit of true love, all lovers in the world would eventually be married. But there are so many great reunions in this world.

After seeing the deserted autumn, Ye Li went to the theater where he was watching the play yesterday, but he didn’t go in, but asked someone to send a flower basket of congratulations, indicating that it was for Cheng Dieyi.

She didn’t expect to meet a soul like Cheng Dieyi. Time is enough to make him crazy, and his soul will become more and more perfect and precious, and such a soul is worth waiting for Ye Li .

Compared with the cold autumn transaction, it is nothing. Ye Li thought that she needed to stay a little longer.

Near the theater, Ye Li also met a person, Liu Chunjiang, who was trapped by love.

He sat in the cafe, frowning, and didn’t even take a few sips of the coffee in front of him.

Liu Chunjiang, Xiaolian, thinking about these two names, Ye Li hooked her lips, found a little girl who sold silk flowers by the roadside, gave her two pieces of ocean to make one The little girl nodded happily.

A few minutes later, Liu Chunjiang was looking down and thinking about how to see the little pity girl again, when suddenly a small hand pulled the sleeve of his sleeve, he turned his head and looked at it, it was a thin little girl girl, holding a box of silk flowers in her arms,

He is kind and caring for the weak, so he said warmly, “Are you going to sell silk flowers?”

I saw the little girl shook her head, picked out a silk flower from the silk flower box in her arms and handed it to him, then turned her head and left, Liu Chunjiang didn’t have time to call her, looked back at her hand again The goose-yellow silk flowers are a bit strange, but I soon discovered that there are writings inside the silk flowers,

Little pity, Church of the Holy Spirit.

Liu Chunjiang was overjoyed, quickly settled the bill and ran out of the cafe, stopped a rickshaw at the door, and said straight, “Go to Shengyou Church, the sooner the better.”

He didn’t care whether the message was true or not, maybe a well-meaning insider didn’t want him to suffer from this lovesickness, so he sent this message, if Xiaolian is really in Shengyou Church, he must be grateful to that kind man.

Ye Li stood on the corner of the street and watched him hurriedly get on the rickshaw to leave, thinking that there is no need to be grateful to Dade.

The Bai family wants to influence Bai Xiuzhu, don’t blame her for using Liu Chunjiang and Xiaolian to teach the Bai family a lesson.

Like she said, everyone is singing on and off the stage, this world is a huge stage, after you sing, I will appear

Liu Chunjiang quickly arrived at Shengyou Church. As soon as he entered, he saw Xiaolian who was asking a question from the priest. He couldn’t help but called out “Xiaolian”.

Xiao Lian looked over when she heard the sound and saw Liu Chunjiang standing at the door of the church, she was stunned in place. Liu Chunjiang was thinking about Xiao Lian before, and he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and all his thoughts were revealed on his face, and anyone who saw him could see his affection.

Faced with such a fiery affection, Xiao Lian couldn’t help turning her head, and happened to see Father Bai’s gentle and kind eyes, “Don’t worry.”

The longing and love between young people is a pure and beautiful thing.

Hearing these words, Xiaolian looked at Liu Chunjiang again, and he seemed to be encouraged to take a few steps closer to her, but he did not expect Xiaolian to take two steps back, and even turned his head and ran to the back of the church.

Seeing this scene, Liu Chunjiang couldn’t help feeling sad, but he couldn’t stop the affection for Xiaolian in his heart. Standing beside Jin Meili, she didn’t know what to do with her hands and feet, and she didn’t know what to say. It was all her fault. She shouldn’t have asked Xiaolian to pretend to be the cousin of the Jin family to accompany her to the wedding.

Bai Xiuzhu, who was quietly praying, watched Xiaolian leave, pursed her lips and sighed, not knowing whether she was feeling sad for her or for herself, “Love can’t be more annoying. already.”

It has nothing to do with identity, Xiaolian suffers for love, and she suffers for love.

Liu Chunjiang quickly calmed his mind. He did not give up because of Xiaolian’s silent rejection, but walked up to the priest and said hello. He wanted to know more about Xiaolian from Father Bai. Pity, Father Bai did not answer him directly, but looked at Jin Meili with a gentle smile.

Jin Meili was even more flustered, seeing Liu Chunjiang a little puzzled, until Jin Meili couldn’t take it anymore and confessed everything, Liu Chunjiang suddenly realized this time, why Xiaolian has been avoiding him, only Because she felt that there was no result between them.

Liu Chunjiang said seriously, “I like Xiaolian, never because of her identity, but because of her.”

Jin Meili was very moved by his true feelings for Xiaolian, “I hope you can say these words to Xiaolian yourself.”

Liu Chunjiang nodded and said firmly, “I will, I will try my best to make her accept me and believe me.”

Liu Chunjiang knew that Xiaolian didn’t want to see him, so he no longer insisted, only said that he would come every day in the future, and then left the church. Xiaolian didn’t come out until after he left. Jin Meili pulled her and talked a lot, but Xiaolian kept her head down, not knowing whether she heard it or not. Liu Chunjiang would come to the church, but she couldn’t stop coming because of this. She finally asked his wife’s permission to come and study with Father Bai for two hours a day. Xiaolian was unwilling to give up this opportunity.

After staying in the church for so long, Bai Xiuzhu and Jin Meili are leaving. Although Bai Xiuzhu felt the peace of mind she never had in the church, because she always cared about Jin Yanxi, There was still a sullen look on her face.

Father Bai gave her a cross necklace when she left, Bai Xiuzhu took it after thanking her, and put it on herself, it was obvious that she liked this necklace very much. Thinking of coming back another day.
