Qing Wu Red House

Tiekan Temple is located on the hillside of a hill outside the city. At the foot of the hill is a small village. Apart from a few scattered families, there are also those who are struggling in the Jia clan who live here.

And the little girl Xiang'er, who was rescued by Zhao's mother at the pier, lives in this small village. She heard that Daiyu was coming today, so she and her mother rushed to the foot of the Tiekan Temple early, waiting to see her. Daiyu side.

The mother and daughter waited for half a day, Xiang'er's little face was flushed from the cold, and only then did she see a funeral procession from a distance.I saw that the team was very spectacular and breathtaking.All the monks from Tiekan Temple had come to welcome him.Xiang'er, mother and daughter did not dare to move forward, they could only watch from a distance.

"Mother, are these people Sister Lin's family? Isn't Sister Lin's family very big!" Xiang'er's immature voice sounded, and Xiang'er's mother hurriedly said softly: "Mother doesn't know, when I see Miss Lin in a while, you Don't talk nonsense, you know?" Xiang'er nodded obediently, her red face looked very cute.

It's just that the mother and daughter didn't meet Daiyu smoothly, they had no acquaintances, although they asked the person at the end of the line, but they either said they didn't know, or they ignored them because of their shabby clothes.Xiang'er was very disappointed, and her smiling face fell silent, holding the basket tightly in her hand, and she pursed her mouth and said nothing.

Xiang'er's mother sighed helplessly. Ever since Mr. Chu occasionally mentioned something, Xiang'er has been thinking about coming to thank this fairy-like lady that Granny Zhao said. They don't have any valuables in the countryside. The little girl started peeling melon seeds for a few days, wrapped them in clean oil paper, and said she would give it to Miss Lin, but...

"Okay, Xiang'er, let's go back. Miss Lin just arrived today, she must be very busy, let's try my luck tomorrow, okay?" Xiang'er's mother couldn't help feeling a little distressed as she touched her daughter's cold little hands, thinking In any case, we must persuade our daughter to go back first.

This Xiang'er is also a well-behaved and sensible person, seeing the burnt look on her mother's face, she nods in her heart if she doesn't want to.But still couldn't help showing a look of disappointment.It's just that Xiang'er never expected that when they returned home, they would see a well-dressed young man at the door to greet them: "It can be considered that they are back. Where have you mother and daughter gone in this cold weather?" , isn't it Bai An who is next to Lin Haorui.

Xiang'er's depressed face immediately turned up, and she ran over quickly: "Brother Bai An, but sister Lin asked you to come and find us?" Bai An caught Xiang'er.Picking her up and lifting her up high, Xiang'er giggled and said, "Xiang'er is so smart, the girl is resting in this Mantou Temple today. After a while, Xiang'er will follow me to have a look, okay?"

"Great, no wonder my mother and I waited for half a day in front of the temple but didn't arrive." Xiang'er smiled happily.

It turned out that Mother Jia thought that the eunuch Tiechan was too noisy, so she specially ordered someone to clean up a few clean rooms at the Mantou Temple, and then she brought Li Wan, Baochai, Daiyu and Yingchun to this side.This Mantou Temple is also called Shuiyue Temple, because the steamed buns in the temple are very famous.So it got the title of Mantouan.In the beginning, the steamed bun nunnery was only occasionally sending some food to Tiekan Temple, but due to the prosperity of Jia's population in recent decades, the steamed bun nunnery was also taken under the door, and it was specially dedicated to the female relatives who came to stay overnight.

Jingxu, the abbot of the Mantou Nunnery, heard that Mother Jia had come, and specially ordered the nuns to tidy up four or five clean rooms and smoke them.The bedding and bedding were disassembled and washed early.Jia Mu is getting old and a little tired after driving for a long time, so she went to rest for noon ring first.Daiyu, accompanied by Muqing and Qingwen, walked around the small courtyard.Just as she was thinking of going to see the plum blossoms in the courtyard next door, she saw Baochai coming out of the room in the west wing: "Sister Lin, what are you doing here? You don't even want to take a break at noon, I just wanted to see you. "

"Girls are tidying up. I looked disturbed. I wanted to go out for a walk!" Daiyu smiled and stood still, seeing that Baochai was still accompanied by Yinger: "Since Sister Bao said so, come in quickly. It's just Girls are coming in and out, sister Bao, don't be disturbed."

"What did my sister say!" Baochai smiled, and took Daiyu's hand into Daiyu's room: "Even though it's noon, it's still cold outside, my sister is weak and should be more careful."

Daiyu thanked her with a smile.

Daiyu's room is the first one in the East Wing, a square room.As soon as Zijuan saw Daiyu and Baochai coming in, she hurriedly cleared the table by the window, spread a dark-pattern Suzhou embroidery table sheet, and put a thick rabbit wool felt cushion on the chair, and then said with a smile: " I was in a hurry and didn't clean it up properly, girls just sit here and I'll make tea!" Then Daiyu took Baochai and sat down.Qingwen had already gone to pull Zijuan: "Go and get busy, don't tell me Muqing and I don't know how to make tea. I know where the tea leaves are kept." After speaking, she smiled and said to Daiyu: "Miss, look at the six How is Anke?"

Daiyu smiled: "Who would choose this when you are away from home, go quickly!"

Baochai looked coldly at the maids who filled the room, those who made the beds and those who cleaned them.A fine brocade quilt has been carefully laid on the hard soil kang of the temple, and incense is also lit in the corner of the room, which dilutes the sandalwood scent that fills the room.Within a quarter of an hour, Qingwen came in with the brewed Lu'an tea, along with some exquisite pastries.

Baochai smiled: "Sister Lin's girls are really ingenious, watching the house tidy up, it's as comfortable as my own home!"

Although Daiyu didn't know what Baochai meant by this, she laughed and said, "It's still too noisy. I think Yinger's behavior is good." Qingwen raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and was about to refute. Then I heard Dong'er laughing and saying: "Bai An has brought Xiang'er into the nunnery, Miss, see if I want to go and greet her!"

Daiyu immediately said happily: "Go quickly, Xiuju quickly bring the fruit for Xiang'er." Xiuju smiled and walked away, and the girls knew that Daiyu was grateful to the little girl at a young age. To repay her kindness, she specially entrusted Chu Tianyou to give her a puppy.

"Sister Lin still has acquaintances here?" Baochai laughed.

"It's the little girl who gave me Le Ya, she came today, I just happened to see her!" Daiyu smiled, thinking of the unusually resolute face of the little girl at the pier, she really loved that little girl from the bottom of her heart.

Not long after, Er Rong led the Xiang'er mother and daughter into the room, both mother and daughter were a little embarrassed, because Dong'er lived with Zhao's mother on the boat for a while.He was already very familiar with Xiang'er, so he quickly squatted down and laughed, "Didn't you keep clamoring to see Sister Lin? That is, go over quickly!" Xiang'er looked at Daiyu sitting on it with her big eyes, and then looked at her. Looking at Baochai at the side, she finally turned her attention to Daiyu, still a little nervous, and called softly, "Hello, Sister Lin!"

Daiyu smiled and held Xiang'er's hand: "What a well-behaved child, Sister Lin also wants to thank Xiang'er for giving me the gift." Xiang'er immediately widened her eyes with surprise on her face: "Sister Lin likes it." Is it? That puppy will look very good when it grows up. My family's big white one was bought by my father after I begged him for a long time. "

Daiyu knew that Xiang'er's family was actually quite well-to-do. Xiang'er's father was a bodyguard in a bodyguard agency, although he was not at home all year round.But the wages are decent.So he smiled and said: "Really? Then when the little guy grows up, Xiang'er will come to my sister's house to see if this little guy looks good or Dabai looks good, okay?"

Baochai smiled and watched Daiyu talking to the little girl, although she was a little surprised at Daiyu's kindness.Because in her mind, Daiyu has always been a self-admired person.Rarely has a very close move with people.For some reason, she always felt that ever since Daiyu returned to Yangzhou, she had been unable to understand. The Daiyu in her mind had been destroyed and blurred little by little.She didn't know whether it was because Daiyu's mood had changed, or her own.

Just thinking about it.But Na Xiang'er took out an oil-paper bag from her basket and handed it to Daiyu: "I peeled this for Sister Lin, the melon seeds fried by my mother are delicious, but when I eat them, my hands will turn black." I often heard Brother Chu say that Sister Lin is a fairy daughter who came from the sky, so she thought that the fairy girl must not get her hands dirty, so she peeled some for Sister Lin, Sister Lin tasted it delicious?"

Daiyu's heart felt hot, she opened the oil-paper bag and saw the bursting melon seeds.There was an urge to cry.He hurriedly took Xiang'er's hand and looked carefully, but saw that little hand was red and red from the cold.He hurriedly said: "Zicuckoo, go and pour some hot water for little sister Xiang'er to warm her hands, and then bring my hand stove to her!" Then she said to Xiang'er: "Xiang'er, be good, sister Lin wants to eat melon seeds in the future You can peel it yourself, you are too young to do this, you know?"

"Sister Lin doesn't like it?" Xiang'er looked at Daiyu aggrievedly, her big eyes were about to overflow with tears.Daiyu hurriedly said: "What's not to like, Sister Lin likes it very much. It's just that Sister Lin also loves Sister Xiang'er, you know?" Xiang'er burst into tears and was taken away by Zijuan, and Daiyu and Xiang'er The mother began to speak.

When Xiang'er's mother and daughter left, Daiyu ordered Zijuan to take the hand-wiping cream to Xiang'er.He also asked Zijuan to remind her that she must send some more things to Xiang'er after she went back, which made Zijuan smile: "You know my good girl, don't worry!" Mu Qing, Qingwen, Xue The geese also laughed.

In the afternoon, there was still a lot of excitement at Tiekan Temple, Lin Haorui was dragged by Xue Pan and couldn't escape, but Baoyu chatted with Qin Zhong for a while and found it very boring, and was thinking about Daiyu Baochai and others in Mantou Temple. After that, he came to Mantou Temple.Seeing Daiyu, Baochai, Yingchun and others talking and laughing together, I couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Why is it so lively?" Baochai didn't need the girl to tell her, and went straight into the house.

Baochai wondered: "Why are you here? Have things been settled over there? Have you seen your ancestors?" Baoyu answered one by one, and saw Daiyu covering her mouth and snickering by mistake, so she sat down Past: "What is my sister laughing at?"

"I'm laughing. Sister Bao has the demeanor of a housekeeper's sister. After asking this series of questions, she is so impeccable!" Daiyu said, Baoyu was taken aback, but Tanchun was the first to laugh out: "Oh, Lin My sister really talked to my heart, I was thinking about what to say just now..." Baochai smiled and tickled Daiyu: "Well, you bastard, you actually made fun of me, look at me I accept you..." Daiyu hurriedly avoided with a smile.

After a while, the wives who were going to leave first came to see Jiamu. The girls were taken to meet a few, and they felt very boring.At Baoyu's suggestion, I went to enjoy the plum blossoms in the plum garden outside the mantou nunnery.
