Last time, it was said that Mrs. Zhang set a time to worship the Buddha, and everyone in Shangshu Mansion packed up their clothes and prepared to go to Qingliang Mountain for summer. Hong also watched Daiyu clean up, and said to the two aunts Chen and Qian who came to help: "You will also go tomorrow, and you will only follow Aunt Hui in the house here." Aunt Chen thanked her when she heard this.

Aunt Qian said: "Uncle and Mrs. should take care of it, and it shouldn't be a second word." It's just that the slave maid's body is becoming more and more uncompetitive, and this time I only moved it slightly, and I felt that everything up and down was rebelling. I really don't dare to make trouble for my uncle and wife, and the eldest girl. My uncle and my eldest sister are only allowed to take care of the house at home. ”

Hong said: "How is this good? Everyone goes, your lord, the girl and Aunt Chen also go, but you are left alone? It is rare to come to Nanjing, and it is not so cheap in normal times." And I have always heard that the incense of Qingliang Mountain is very effective, and the abbot can also diagnose people's pulses and see prescriptions. If you are really not in good health, you should go and offer a stick of incense and accumulate some merit for yourself. If you're afraid of being unhappy on the way around, you don't have to worry about this. There are sedan cars in the house here, and then you remind me again, and I will help you say that it is assigned. ”

Aunt Qian was full of shame, and curtsied her knees: "How dare you bother Mrs. Uncle like this? And there is no such pampering. From tomorrow onwards, I will follow Sister Chen and Aunt Hui. ”

Hong said with a smile: "It's really hard to go out. You have to take care of many things and things, and you have to worry more about it than your labor, and you have not been too lazy to move for the past two days, and you are no longer normal. However, the scenery on Qingliang Mountain is good, cool and cool, and there are songs to listen to, drama to watch, and relax for three or five days, just like the mind is relieved. That's why we have to go together. When the time comes, there is no need to be restrained, if there is anything, either to me or to the eldest lady in this house, you must always be comfortable, and it will not be in vain for the old lady to lead everyone to have fun. ”

And all of them answered. Hong's Fang told Lin Daiyu to rest early, and agreed to go to Mrs. Zhang's room with Mrs. Zhang tomorrow morning, and then went back to his house. Here, Daiyu instructed left and right: "Check things again and go to sleep, don't get up late tomorrow morning." Then I asked Aunt Qian to stay for a while, and asked, "What is the inconvenience of Auntie?" If you are really unhappy, don't force it. I'll go talk to my aunt. ”

Aunt Qian hurriedly said: "Thank you for your concern." It really doesn't hurt. The slave maid just felt that everyone was gone, and no serious person looked at the things in the room, and thought of many of the first wives left behind, and was somewhat uneasy. ”

Lin Daiyu said with a straight face when she heard this: "Aunt is cautious." This is the house of my uncle and aunt, and there is nothing to worry about. Moreover, although it is good for my aunt to be careful, after all, it has only been two or three days, and people here can't recognize it all, and if there are any actions and behaviors, it is also inconvenient to ask for people and things. I have ordered Qinghe, Mama Tan, and Aunt Wu to stay together. The aunt just has to follow the old lady here to enjoy the scenery with peace of mind. ”

Aunt Qian didn't dare to talk about it anymore, so she was resigned, and was pulled by Aunt Chen to quit together. Daiyu leaned on the chair, thought for a long time, and said left and right: "What time? ”

Qing He said with a smile: "The girl is distracted, I'm afraid that she is thinking about something urgent and will be disturbed." ”

Daiyu said: "What can be the important thing? I thought about how to do it on Qingliang Mountain, and I will only see the true face tomorrow." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly seemed to think of something, his face turned red, he coughed twice, and urged him to wash and change his clothes. Zijuan and Qinghe hurriedly stepped forward to serve—but they didn't know that Lin Daiyu was thinking of Qingliang Mountain Scenery when she was talking, she grew up to be more than ten years old, always in the deep boudoir, and read a lot on weekdays, how could she not yearn for an idyllic mountain residence? Zijuan checked her expression and said with a smile: "The girl should have been settled earlier." Ming'er went out, afraid that she wouldn't have to catch up on sleep in the afternoon. Daiyu nodded and fell asleep as she said. The maids also went away without mentioning it.

Early the next morning, Lin Daiyu got up and finished freshening up, and Hong came over. Seeing that Daiyu was wearing a pale purple satin placket sprinkled with colorful flowers and leaves, and tied a duck egg blue dress, she said: "This is good, refreshing, and not too plain." As he spoke, he reached out and took a fist-sized pink moon flower on Dai's hosta, and looked around again, as if looking for something. Here, the purple cuckoo sent a painted grape silk fan, green vine and purple fruit, very watery and lovely. Hong was overjoyed and said with a smile: "That's right, a good girl, how can you know and agree like this? So he let Daiyu take it in his hand, and led her to the main house over there, saying along the way, "Your father and uncle are waiting for us to have breakfast." After eating, go to the room and set off with the old lady. ”

After the meal was over, Lin Daiyu said goodbye to Lin Ruhai and Zhang Wang, and followed the Hong family to Mrs. Zhang's room. Before reaching the gate of the courtyard, a daughter-in-law and a girl withdrew with food boxes and baskets, and the maid in front of Mrs. Zhang next to her smiled and asked Mrs. Uncle and Miss Lin early. Hearing the whispers of someone in the room, Hong smiled and asked, "Mrs. and the girls will come over now?" But seeing that there was no one else in the room, only Mrs. Zhang sat on the front seat of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, described as beautiful, snow-skinned, and a pink embroidered peony round-necked robe covered with a light gold flowered pleated skirt, which became more and more bright and delicate.

Hong was looking at it, and heard Mrs. Zhang Tai smile and said, "This is the only girl of your Cao family's niece and mother, Yajing." He said to Cao Yajing again: "This is your cousin of your uncle in Changzhou and the cousin of Uncle Lin in Suzhou." ”

When Cao Yajing heard this, she hurriedly saluted the Hong family, and said, "My cousin is from Changzhou, and Yajing and her mother should have come to visit earlier." It's just that the old man in the family is a little bad, and the mother has been tired for two days, and she can't get up for a while. I also ask my cousin a lot, Rong Yajing is here to confess for her mother, and also ask the ancestors, uncles, grandfathers, uncles and relatives of Changzhou. ”

Hong hurriedly helped her up, and smiled at Mrs. Zhang first: "I said that there is such a good girl hidden somewhere, it turns out to be my aunt's granddaughter." At the same time, he asked Cao Yajing: "Is your mother seriously ill? Which doctor did you invite? What kind of medicine did you use? I will go to see her another day." ”

Cao Yajing hurriedly said, "Thank you Auntie for asking." It's not a serious symptom, the doctor said that it would be good to rest for two days, and I really can't afford to follow my cousin's footsteps. When my mother is well, I will come over to thank my uncle and aunt. ”

Hong said with a smile: "Cao Yatou is more polite." Get up. Sit down. He also led her to meet Lin Daiyu. Daiyu saw that she behaved and spoke gently, and her heart was also very happy. The two of them greeted each other, so they sat together and talked, whispering softly, like nephrite jade, which made Mrs. Zhang and Hong look more and more happy. Hong couldn't help but ask Mrs. Zhang: "I heard that my cousin's body is not very strong. I've only seen Cao Yatou for the first time today, and it can be seen that it's also true. ”

Mrs. Zhang sighed: "There is something wrong with my mother, I am tired of the girl, and I have to serve in front of the bed for four or five months in a year." Fortunately, Aunt Cao has always been well-behaved and reasonable, and she also values her daughter, so her filial piety and respect are finally not in vain. After thinking about it, he said: "Aunt Cao was originally in the Nanjing Ministry of Industry Camp. Two years ago, he was transferred to the current Haitang official, and he happened to work under your eldest brother. I know your eldest brother best, and when it comes to business, my relatives are stricter than outsiders, so I use my life extraordinarily. I think that's it, I was tired and sick a while ago. And my mother served for a few days, but I couldn't get up, and it took me two days to get better, and I was worried about the hard work of the girl, and I couldn't relax at home. No, I'll send it home early this morning. ”

Hong said with a smile: "As a mother, how can you not pity your own children? My aunt feels sorry for her granddaughter, and it is common sense for people to take them with them as soon as they come." I'm not such a jealous person, and my aunt doesn't need to say much. Mrs. Zhang laughed loudly, pointed her finger at her head, and scolded with a smile: "You, a ghost spirit, can always have something to say, and it is not to teach me to refute, and it is not to refute." ”

While talking and laughing, Mrs. Wang, Cui's, and Chai's took a group of ladies to the upper room to say goodbye. Mrs. Wang said that the car was ready, and asked Mrs. Zhang to set off. Here, Huang Qian came up next to Mrs. Zhang, and said coquettishly: "Grandmother, I want to share a car with my second sister." When Huang Wei heard this, he also came up, and shouted: "I'm with Sister Lin." Mrs. Zhang looked at Huang Rong with her eyes. Huang Rong got up and said, "Old lady, my car is spacious, and it is more comfortable for Sister Cao, Third Sister, and Fourth Sister to sit on." Mrs. Zhang then smiled and said, "You sisters can sit as much as you like." As long as you don't come to squeeze me!" Huang Wei got this sentence and immediately happily came to Lin Daiyu's side. Huang Li and Huang Bei also stepped forward, accompanied by Cao Yajing on the left and right. Mrs. Wang smiled and said a few words to Hong, and then took Cui's outside to arrange a trip, while Chai's took care of it in the upper room.

At one moment the crowd set off. I saw that there were many vehicles and people in front of Qingtang Shangshu Mansion, and they set off all the way to Qingliang Mountain. Sure enough, Huang Wei and Lin Daiyu were in a car, and when they heard the mules and horses starting, there was a lot of noise outside the mansion, so they leaned on Daiyu's shoulder and smiled: "I lost the fourth sister today." Otherwise, you can't be so comfortable. ”

Daiyu smiled: "What do you say? ”

Huang Wei pursed her lips and said, "Then I don't want to be with her, there are always two sentences in three sentences to piggyback on what 'child', is it interesting? The fifth sister is very good, but she has few words, and she is okay for a moment or two, and she doesn't suffocate me to death in an hour or two? Therefore, it has to be the best to follow Sister Lin, which is the most in line with my heart." ”

Dai Yuyin asked: "The first time I saw the sister of the Cao family today, she seems to be an extremely good-tempered and talkative person. What do you think of her?"

Huang Wei said: "Sister Jing is very good, although she doesn't come much, but every time she gives me the latest handkerchief pattern, she speaks and behaves the most kindly." But the fourth sister always pulled and didn't let her talk more, saying that Aunt Cao was born to her aunt, and she was accompanied by the third and fifth sisters. Seeing Daiyu's surprised face, she didn't know the inside story, and said with a smile: "I forgot that my sister didn't know." Aunt Cao is not the old lady's biological child. But the old lady likes Sister Jing, and she will call her to come to the house to play during the New Year's holidays, worship the Buddha and incense, and always ask Aunt Cao. As he spoke, he became happy again, and said, "When I get to Qingliang Mountain, I will tell my mother and live with my sister, and the fourth sister will not be able to control me." Then we will invite Sister Jing to play together, okay?"

Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "Why is it bad for you to come and live with me?" as long as the third aunt doesn't stop you." And the old lady originally took us to the mountains to spend the summer and relax, so the sisters naturally wanted to play together. You just have time to think about what you're going to do to have fun. ”

Huang Wei listened to her, and it was really reasonable, so he meditated all the way and racked all his brains, and he was afraid that he would forget it for a while, so he even called the accompanying maid to bring a pen and paper. provoked Lin Daiyu to hide her mouth and smile, while opening the secret compartment in the carriage, taking out the small brush in the drawer and recording it with her one by one. Talking and laughing like this, they didn't feel that time had passed, until the purple juan, green seedlings, lotus autumn, empty green and so on came to ask to get off the car and change the sedan car, and the two of them were shocked to realize that they had arrived at the foot of the cool mountain. Huang Wei couldn't help but wonder: "How can you go so fast today? Could it be that someone really used some method of shrinking the land? But Qingliang Mountain was originally a Buddhist temple, and Taoist things can actually be?"

Before I could say a word, I heard someone next to me laugh and say: "Buddhism may not be a Taoist thing, but hasn't the sixth sister heard of the "Hundred Yu Sutra" in the "Doctor and the Princess's Medicine'? Just because your mind is hanging elsewhere, you don't feel that it takes time along the way." "It's Zhang Hui and the Yellow Elephant brothers. When the two of them met, Huang Wei asked, "Why are you here?"

Zhang Hui and Huang Xiang glanced at each other, and Huang Xiang smiled and said, "This is Second Brother Min's serious errand, I just pull my cousin around." We have already reported to the eldest master, so we will go to Chongzheng Academy to see the eleven stone carvings and two sets of Tang Dynasty engravings it collected, as well as the inscriptions of our family Wenxuan Gong and Wenhua Gonggong for the revision of the Thirteen Classics. Are you going to go along?"

For a while, Lin Daiyu and Huang Wei moved together. Zhang Hui smiled and said: "Don't listen to the elephant brothers' nonsense - if you really ran away with us, don't you make the old lady anxious?" And there are also many scenery in the temple on the mountain, Sister Lin just has to enjoy it with her aunt, grandmother, mother, aunt, and aunt." He turned his head and instructed the mother-in-law who was carrying the sedan chair next to him: "Be steady under your feet, you don't have to rush, and let the girls take a look at the scenery along the road." The mother-in-law responded together. The two cousins stepped aside, watched Daiyu and Huang Wei board the sedan chair and go away, and then walked towards Chongzheng Academy with a smile.

However, it was said that the Qingliang Temple had already cleared the temple two days in advance because the lady of Shangshu Mansion brought her family to incense, and the presiding officer led the monks to meet each other in Buddhist clothes. Mrs. Zhang took everyone to the foot of the mountain gate, and also ordered her to rest and clean up first. At this time, Lin Daiyu and Huang Wei also arrived, and Mrs. Zhang saw it, and hurriedly brought the two of them to her, and asked repeatedly: "Why did you fall behind like this?" But you don't have to rush at this moment, you have to stay for a few days, and it's not too late to watch slowly. Yan Cijiao followed the two closely and never left again.

So Mrs. Zhang took everyone to pay homage and play floor by floor, and made a wish in the Tibetan courtyard to pray for the blessing and health of Wu Taijun in Changzhou. Cao Yajing also made a wish for her mother Huang Jiniang's health. Other Huangfu ladies worship together. Lin Daiyu looked at Hong's. Hong said in a low voice: "Burn incense in the temple and worship the Buddha in the temple, but just talk about it." It's good that Yu'er has this wish. It's just that Nanjing only stays for a few days, so it's better to go back to Changzhou in a month, and do a Dharma in Tianning Temple - that is also the place where your mother worshiped the Buddha and listened to the Dharma in her early years. Lin Daiyu then served the same incense as her cousins in Huangfu.

After visiting and playing here, the host invited Mrs. Zhang and her to rest in the hall and serve tea. There are also monks who follow the Huangfu steward Yang Zhenglin's family to come in and tell them about the arrangements for the Zen monastery these days. Mrs. Zhang said: "For most of the day, you have also been affected, and after a while, you will go to various places and rest and settle. Ming'er is the enlightenment day of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the Buddha does not get up late in the morning, and he is disrespectful and adds sins in vain. And Qingliang Temple was originally the best, and it was a real pity to miss it. The people at the bottom responded together. Mrs. Zhang gave a few more instructions: "The wild mountains are funny, but don't walk around at night, for fear of getting lost and in distress, and for fear of not causing trouble." Now that they are all outside, all the houses and courtyards must be more and more restrained, and they are not allowed to indulge and cause trouble. Whoever dares to disobey me will not be able to escape the punishment. "When he saw that everyone was obeying, he ordered them to disperse.

The next morning, everyone went to Mrs. Zhang's place, and then led the way to visit the ceremony. I saw that there were more than thousands of monks and laymen inside and outside the main hall, in addition to the monks of Qingliang Temple, there were also the official eunuchs and nobles of Jinling City who also visited the Dharma and their families. Lin Daiyu followed closely behind Mrs. Zhang and Hong, and listened to Mrs. Wang's family one by one, and seven or eight of the ten families had heard of it: it was on the dock that day that welcomed her father Lin Ruhai to Ning. But seeing that everyone looked solemn, although the number of people was many, there was only a whisper of the monks in the temple arranging guidance and ranking, and the rest of the birds did not hear it, and the hall was in order.

When the Dharma is opened, listen to the sound of the Buddha and the sound of Sanskrit singing, there are not only the blessings of the Qingming Dynasty, but also the praise of the pure heart and the spirit, and the change of rhyme, that is, the people who usually do not believe in Buddhism and do not read the scriptures, and they all feel that their hearts and souls are cleansed and their spirits are calm and tranquil when they are in this situation. It wasn't until halfway through the field that everyone was in a trance, and it took a while to wake up. Mrs. Zhang noticed her expression and asked with a smile: "Is it really listening?" Everyone said that it was wonderful, and it was the only good news in her life. Mrs. Zhang nodded with a smile, and was about to say more, when she suddenly saw that behind Mrs. Wang and Hong, Huang Wei was already next to Lin Daiyu, her head resting on Daiyu's shoulder, and her forehead against Daiyu's face fell asleep; At this time, Mrs. Wang, Hong's, Cui's, Chai's, Huang Rong and other sisters also saw it, and hurriedly asked someone to quickly help Huang Wei away. That Huang Wei slept very soundly, and he didn't wake up when he was pulled and helped back, and he still hummed vaguely in his mouth, "Looking at its sound, everyone has to be liberated." Seeing this, Chai's face became more and more ashamed, and he apologized to Daiyu and Hong. The two of them wanted to return the gift again. Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "That's it, the villain is carefree, and these things that solve difficulties and save dangers can't be cared for, so they have to hypnotize." He beckoned Daiyu to come over, and while checking carefully, he said angrily: "Yu'er is too solid, let her fall asleep like this, but it will be crushed? Then he comforted him and said, "Listen to my aunt and grandmother, and rest in peace." This is the best in the first few verses, and there are some vulgar voices coming out at the back, so it doesn't matter if you don't listen to it. So he ordered the left and right to carefully support and wait, and sent back to the Yunshuiliao where he lived.

There are other girls here who also come up and say that they want to be loose and loose outside, and walk around. Mrs. Zhang said, "I knew you should come over." In the end, they are all young students, how can they have the patience to accompany my wife and son to listen to these things. I'm impatient to sit here, so I just quietly go out by myself. It's just that there are no more people on the mountain than yesterday, and there are outsiders. If you want to see the mountain scenery, out of the courtyard of your own meditation room, the maids, mothers-in-law and servants will not be allowed to bring less. For a while, everyone cheered and withdrew from the hall one after another, only Huang Rong and Cao Yajing were still in place. Mrs. Zhang smiled when she saw it: "It's still you two girls who are calm." Come and sit with me and talk to me. "They all moved their seats. Mrs. Wang told Mrs. Zhang a sù, and also went outside the hall to check and restrain everyone.

Mrs. Wang stood on the steps and called the housekeeper's daughter-in-law, Yang Zhenglin's family, and said, "Miss Lin and the sixth girl are coming, and a few more people will take care of them." Have you prepared all the snacks and soup for the advance? Eat early for dinner today, and send them to the courtyard over there in a while, and when the two of them are rested, they can be used when they get up. Then they made another distribution for the day's meal, lunch break, and the second half of the day. Here, Yang Zhenglin's family should retreat one by one. After a while, I saw a team of maids leading the accompanying kitchen daughter-in-law to carry more than a dozen food boxes, knowing that it was for Mrs. Zhang, she hurriedly took it and handed it to the big maid behind Mrs. Wang. There are also young girls, and they asked which one was for Lin Daiyu, and Yang Zhenglin's family personally took it in his hand, and then sent it to Yunshuiliao.

When I arrived at the gate of the Zen Temple, I saw Huang Qian walking opposite with her personal maid Wen Dan. Yang Zhenglin's family hurriedly gave the basket food box to the little girl behind him, and he lowered his hand to salute Huang Qian, and asked, "The fourth girl came to see Miss Lin?"

Huang Qian smiled and accepted the salute, and said exactly, "The six girls don't know the severity, they can sleep if they like to sleep, and it doesn't matter how Sister Lin is pressed." I'll take a look. Sister Yang is sending snacks to Miss Lin? It must have been specially made by the old lady, and she picked out my good mouth. As he spoke, the two went in together. Talking about Mama and Qingmiao helping Daiyu rub her shoulders. When Lin Daiyu saw the two of her coming, she was so happy that she recited the Buddha and said, "Fortunately, you came." Say goodbye to these two, I don't think there's anything anymore, just walk around, and there will be no hindrance to a little activity. ”

Huang Qian said with a smile: "Who called Sister Lin to be good-natured, and she is used to being presumptuous with six girls? This can be regarded as taking the opportunity, and I won't let you stop if I don't look at kneading you into mud. Sister Lin still told me to beg for mercy, that's wrong!" Daiyu glared at her, and all the maids, daughters-in-law, and grandmothers around her laughed. Only then did Yang Zhenglin's family step forward and enter all kinds of dim sum soup. Daiyu thanked her, smiled and said, "It can be regarded as relieving me", so she invited Huang Qian to eat together, and asked Qingmiao to pick out a few things that Huang Wei has always loved to eat and leave them aside, and eat them later when she gets up. Huang Qian couldn't help asking: "The six girls are still asleep in the house?"

Lin Daiyu nodded and said, "I heard Lianqiu say, I was too excited yesterday, and I wasn't used to sleeping on the bed outside, so I didn't squint until the second watch." I got up early in the morning today, and I couldn't bear it. ”

Huang Qian said: "In the end, the sixth sister is young and lacks energy. It's just that Sister Lin slept well? It's still early before the day of dinner, and my grandmother also allowed each of them to visit the mountains and enjoy the scenery, but they had to be a few people to act together. I want to invite Sister Lin to join me, can my sister agree?"

Daiyu immediately smiled and said, "I want to do it." Xiang Tan Mama and Qingmiao said: "I'm really good, don't worry." If you are tired in the morning, you can rest. So I told the purple cuckoo and the snow goose to go with me. Huang Qian couldn't help but laugh out loud. Mama Tan and the others also smiled helplessly: "The girl has it in her heart." It's just that we are all here for the first time, and we have to trouble the old people around Miss Qian to watch the road. ”

Huang Qian smiled: "But don't worry. I have also been to the mountains a few times, and I am half a landlord. And the old lady has instructed that there will be old grandmothers and sturdy servants everywhere to watch over and serve, and when the time comes, you will be given a full-bearded, full-tailed, and lively Miss Lin. ”

So Lin Daiyu changed her dress and light shoes, and played the mountain scenery with Huang Qian. This Qingliang Temple was originally the authentic origin of the Dharma Eye, the history is long, the incense is also flourishing, the stone steps in the mountain should be the road, all are very neatly repaired. Lin Daiyu and Huang Qianyuan walked along the steps, listened to her explain the landscapes, stories and legends everywhere, and looked at the green shade all the way, enjoyed the thick greenery, listened to the various birds and insects in the forest, and Lin Lan was clear.

Listen to the murmuring of the water for a while. Lin Daiyu and Huang Qian turned along the stone path, and sure enough, a clear stream in the mountain and stone was like a belt, like a crystalline. Unknown grass and trees grow on both sides of the mountain stream, and the red, pink, white, and light yellow mixed flowers on the trees are blooming vigorously. When the two saw each other, they said in unison: "It's so beautiful." Huang Qian even pointed out one of the trees to Lin Daiyu, and said, "Sister Lin, look! The flowers of that one are not pink and light yellow?"

Lin Daiyu looked at it, and sure enough, said, "It's really two-colored." This tree is born like this, and if so, it is really a wonder among flowers. ”

Huang Qian smiled: "I saw it here for the first time a few years ago. It's a good thing to think about. But the benefits of this flower are not only in the color! Sister Lin and I got closer and took a look!"

Huang Qian said, leading Daiyu down the stone steps, all the way to the stream. Daiyu only saw that the tree was overbearing, and the flowers on the tree were mostly pink and light yellow at first glance, but in fact, each one was of different shades, and it was subdivided into fine details, from pink and white to light gold; as for the shape of the flowers, it looked like a plum, a peach and a plum, there were a single layer of five petals and six petals, and there were also two layers of more than ten petals, and there were even more layers of layers that were more difficult to count at one time. Daiyu took a closer look and couldn't help but praise again.

Huang Qian smiled: "I know that Sister Lin must like it." Wouldn't it be better for us to fold it in a large branch of the house, put it in a bottle, and put it on the desk in front of the window?"

Lin Daiyu hurriedly shook her head and said, "No need. It's best to spend on a branch like this. ”

Huang Qian said: "Sister Lin, look, when the wind blows, the petals in the sky can't last long on the branches. We can't lose much time if we fold it back. What's more, isn't it true longevity to paint the scenery and look at the paintings and poems, record the posture of the body with paper and ink, and pass it on to future generations from generation to generation? Sister Lin doesn't need to persuade me - I will definitely break it back today. ”

Daiyu said: "The flower branches are very high, and they are slanted across the stream. None of us here can reach it. If you call someone to come and cut down the branches, it will be too exciting to move the people for a flower. It's better to leave it at that. ”

Huang Qian said with a smile: "Sister Lin Swen, naturally you can't see the path to folding flowers-you see a big bluestone on the stream over there, isn't it a ready-made step? Shall we climb up and reach the branches of the flowers that will hang down on them?"

When Lin Daiyu heard this, she hurriedly looked at it, and sure enough, there was a large stone in the center of the stream, and the top was flat, always three or four feet square; Daiyu said: "There is something wrong with it. You don't know if the stone is stable or not, and if one of them doesn't fall down, what can you do? If you really can't bear this flower, depending on me, you can only go and tell the old lady or the lady or the brothers, and let them come and get it. ”

Huang Qian smiled and said: "Sister Lin, you can be regarded as being caught by me! I just said that Xingshi moved the people, and now I am willing again." However, it's just a matter of flowers, what can't we do ourselves? Sister Lin is standing and watching me go. ”

Huang Qian said, lifted her skirt, turned around and left the stone path and walked towards the mountain stream. Lin Daiyu hurriedly shouted: "Fourth sister, wait, I'll help you go." Wen Dan and Zijuan are also here to help!"

When Huang Qian heard this, she turned her head and smiled: "Sister Lin is delicate, don't let me tear it down." Wen Dan is still supporting Miss Lin for me!"

Wen Dan really helped Daiyu first. Lin Daiyu couldn't, and knew that there were no stone path steps at this time, so she was really not used to walking, so she had to stand and watch Huang Qian arrive at the stream in three steps and two steps, and then go up to the bluestone of those natural steps, and arrived at the boulder in a moment. Huang Qian waved to Daiyu and said with a smile: "I'm here! It's not difficult! I'll pick the best branch here!"

Lin Daiyu said: "Fourth sister, be careful of your step. No matter which branch this flower is, it is beautiful. ”

Huang Qian pursed her lips and smiled, tilted her head to look at the flowers and trees above her head, and carefully picked out the flower branches. In the middle of the comparison, he swept his eyes and suddenly saw something flashing in the cracks of the rocks in the stream, Huang Qian was frightened in his heart, and hurriedly looked at it, but there was nothing abnormal. Seeing her moves, Lin Daiyu didn't know what was going on, and she became nervous for a while. Just look at Huang Qian stroked his chest, took a breath, and was about to raise his head and raise his hand to climb a certain flower branch, suddenly his head was slightly to the side, as if he had suddenly discovered something terrifying, and his face was instantly like snow; his shoulders shook and he shook his body, he stood unsteadily, pointed to a certain place between the cracks in the stones, and shouted in his mouth: "Snake! There is a snake!"

When Lin Daiyu and the others heard that there was a snake, their faces turned pale with fright. But seeing Huang Qian's body shaking, as if he was about to fall down, he couldn't care about anything else for a while, regardless of the left and right Wendan and Zijuan clasped their hands, struggled hard, and arrived in front of the boulder in a few steps, shouting "Fourth sister stand firm", while climbing up the stone platform with his hands and feet. As soon as she arrived above, Huang Qian had already softened towards Lin Daiyu. Daiyu lacked strength and couldn't support it, so she slowly sat down against her. Looking at Huang Qian again, her head was covered with sweat, her face was full of blood, and she was obviously frightened, at this time, a pair of hands only clenched Daiyu, and even her face and body shrank into her arms, trembling her lips and shouting: "There is a snake!

Lin Daiyu was frightened, but her hand was fixed on Huang Qian, and she looked around. However, the water is clear and the stone is clean, and there is nothing unusual. So he patted Huang Qian and asked her where she saw a snake. Huang Qian raised her head tremblingly, looked at it quickly, and then shrank back, pointing her finger to a place in the pile of rubble on the side of the boulder. Daiyu was afraid and held her breath to take a closer look. After about seven or eight breaths, sure enough, a thumb-thick pointed round thing poked out from the crack in the stone. Daiyu was suddenly frightened and didn't dare to move again. Seeing this, the purple juan and the others here still don't know that there is really a difference, but they don't know that they are poisonous or non-toxic, and they don't dare to move. For a while, the four of them stayed in the local area, stiff as clay sculptures.

I listened to the mountain wind, and there were footsteps rushing towards this side, and shouted one after another: "What's the matter?" but it was Huang Min and Zhang Hui, who saw this side from a distance, and didn't have time to tell the truth, so they called first: "Fourth sister, sister Lin, don't panic, let's come here!"

When a few people here heard it, it was really like a savior descending from the sky, and Huang Qian and Lin Daiyu on the boulder were in good spirits, and they could also lift their bodies. After a while, the two came to the side of the mountain stream, ordered the maids to retreat, and stepped on the stones to come to them. Huang Qian grabbed Huang Min's hand in a panic and shouted, "Second brother, there is a snake!"

Huang Min hurriedly comforted: "Don't be afraid." ”

Zhang Hui looked around, and there was no snake shadow for a while, and he also said: "Water snakes are rarely poisonous, and the two sisters don't need to be frightened." He said to Huang Min again: "It's cold on the stone, it's not good to stay for a long time." Let's let the two sisters move away from here first. ”

Huang Min hurriedly said yes, and saw that Huang Qian was frightened and weak, so he turned his back and said, "Fourth sister is well, I'll carry you up." Carrying Huang Qian to the stream, Wen Dan hurriedly came over to support her, Huang Min hugged her on the other side, looked at Zhang Hui and Daiyu, and couldn't help but show a little hesitation.

Zhang looked back at his expression and said with a smile: "Cousin Min just took the fourth sister with him." Seeing that the fourth sister seems to be frightened, she has to find a doctor and take a closer look. ”

When Huang Qian heard this, he hurriedly said: "Don't be a doctor!" and stood up and said, "I'm fine, don't alarm people." ”

Zhang Hui smiled: "Then it depends on the fourth sister." It's just that you come out for a while, and your feet are weak and you can't walk. I remember that two or three hundred steps ahead, there were people waiting for the turn of the mountain road, and the soft sedan chair and foot strength were complete. Cousin Min took care of the fourth sister to sit on a ride, and it was easy to go back. ”

Huang Min responded with a good salute and said, "Cousin Lin's side, I still have to bother my cousin." So he took Huang Qian first.

This chapter asked Daiyu back: "Is it convenient for my sister to get up?" Seeing that Daiyu lowered her eyebrows, she nodded lightly for a while, so she smiled and said: "The stone is slipping, my sister is watching her feet." As he spoke, he took two steps back to the water's edge and made way for the bluestone steps. Lin Daiyu straightened her dress slightly, got up carefully, and was about to move, when one of Zhang Hui's arms was stretched out in front of her, but she stretched her sleeves and tightly wrapped her hand. Dai Yufang held his hand, moved down the boulder step by step, and came to the water's edge. On the side, Zijuan caught up early to catch it.

Daiyu let out a sigh of relief, and was about to thank Zhang Hui, but in a blink of an eye, she saw Zhang Hui take off his shoes and socks, and his trouser legs were pulled straight to his knees. Daiyu's face turned red with shame, and she hurriedly turned her head, wondering what was going on in her heart, but she heard the sound of the water, and couldn't help but peek at it, it was Zhang Hui who waded into the water, checking and groping by the boulder, and couldn't care about anything else for a while, so she hurriedly shouted: "Brother be careful!"

Zhang Hui looked up and waved his hand at her, and said with a smile: "It's okay." While searching carefully, he reached out and rummaged through the rubble. Daiyu next to her held her breath unconsciously, and watched with good eyes, twisting the handkerchief with both hands like twisting candy. Seeing that Zhang Hui's eyes suddenly lit up, his face showed joy, and he said, "Here it is!" casually copied it, and took out a palm-sized tan stone from the water. Daiyu looked at it again, where was the stone? One foot and one tail had not yet had time to hide, dangling in the air, and it was clearly a mountain turtle that had not yet grown. Zhang Hui smiled: "The culprit who scared my sister is this little thing." Now that he has been arrested, I don't know how my sister is going to deal with it? ”

When Lin Daiyu heard him say this, she couldn't help but burst out laughing, and even Zijuan turned from panic to snickering. Daiyu said: "It turned out to be it." I'll take a look. As he spoke, he helped Zijuan to take a step. Zhang Hui also stepped forward, and when he handed the mountain turtle to Daiyu, he suddenly noticed that he was stepping on the water barefoot, and his face was burning for a while. Daiyu hurriedly gave the handkerchief in her hand to Zijuan, took the mountain turtle in the handkerchief, and then quickly turned her back to Zhang Hui. Here Zhang Hui also hurriedly walked to the water's edge, dried his feet with a handkerchief, put on his shoes and socks again, and approached Daiyu's master and servant. I was stupid and didn't know where to start, so I heard Daiyu's "ahh

Lin Daiyu said: "Brother, look, this turtle seems to be injured. "Hold the turtle to Zhang Hui.

Zhang looked back, and sure enough, the turtle's head, forefoot, and left hind foot were tightly contained in the back shell, but the tail and a right hind foot were off and shook outside, and there was a wound the size of half a small fingernail at the root of the tail, and the right hind foot was even fractured and broken, and even the toe webs were sparse. Probably because of the immersion in the water, although it is not so ugly that it festers, it is also a little creepy. Zhang Hui saw that Daiyu and Zijuan staggered their eyes slightly, and their faces showed unbearable expressions, so he said gently: "Look at the situation, they were smashed by mountain rocks." It rained a few days ago, and the mountain was full of water, so it became a small flood peak, and it washed down the rocks and went to the stream. Most of the little thing was at the water's edge, and before it could dodge, it was run over and stuck, and the stone got stuck. Turtles, even if they are always lying under the water on weekdays, they have to go to the surface of the water every hour and a half to breathe. Therefore, it is lucky that the rain will stop in two days, and the stream will go fast, and the water level will not be high, and it will reach its nostrils to the surface of the water, so that it will not suffocate to death; ”

Seeing this, Dai Yu raised her head in a panic and asked Zhang Hui: "How strict is it, brother, save it!"

Zhang Hui smiled: "Sister, don't panic. The turtle is the longest beetle, the most spiritual, and the most resistant to hardship. It can endure this suffering without dying, and when it meets its sister, it is lucky. He took the mountain turtle, held it in his palm and looked at it carefully, and said: "Although most of this leg is useless, but if you give the medicine in time, and then take care of it, your life will be fine." ”

Daiyu turned to joy at this time, folded her hands, and said, "Amitabha, good, good." Suddenly, he remembered another incident, tilted his head to look at Zhang Hui, and asked: "I remember that the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" said that in the mountain of great suffering, there are three-legged turtles, and the eaters have no major diseases and can reduce swelling. In the fish interpretation chapter of "Erya", it is said that the turtle is three-legged and the turtle is three-legged, which are all transformed by the gods, and they have great benefits in the world, but?

Zhang Hui smiled: "That's true. He took the handkerchief from Zijuan's hand, held the turtle in his pocket as usual, and then led Lin Daiyu and the others to the top of the stone steps. While walking, he told Sù Daiyu in detail: "It's just that the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and the like, the so-called three-legged turtle eater has no disease, and the swelling and carbuncle are really vague. There are thousands of natural spiritual creatures that can be used in medicine, and their temperament and utility are also very different. For example, this tortoise, tortoise shell, tortoise meat, tortoise blood, bile, and even tortoise drowning all have their own medicinal uses. If you blindly listen to ancient books and use them indiscriminately, will you become a scourge in vain? In fact, birds and animals have special shapes, and there are many records since ancient times. This is the creature of heaven and earth, and the changes are endless, and if you see the strange or not, you can keep the right path in your heart and learn from things. As for those wild history notes and strange theories, it will be over if you have a fun look. ”

Lin Daiyu sighed: "My brother also knows how to do medicine. This little turtle met his brother, and it really made a fortune. It's just that I don't know how long it will take for it to be fully fine. If there is Daiyu who can be effective, my brother will only ask me to sù, and there will be no excuse. ”

Zhang replied: "My sister has a good heart, and she will be fine." The two of them said, and they arrived at the stone steps in the mountain for a while, and they also saw the sedan chair man and the healthy woman holding the rattan chair and the soft sedan chair to wait. Zhang Hui asked Daiyu: "Can my sister be tired?"

Daiyu shook her head and said, "I'm not tired. And walk slowly all the way so as not to miss the mountain view. Suddenly remembered it again, oops, looked at the mountain turtle in Zhang Hui's hand, and said ashamedly: "It's me who is not good, I forgot about it." So he asked his brother to hire a rattan sedan chair to not delay the journey. So he asked the four healthy women to carry the sedan chair and sat back to the Yunshuiliao in the temple.

When they arrived at the squatter meditation room, Daiyu and the others heard that the ceremony in the main hall had not yet been completed, but Mrs. Zhang had already spread the word that she wanted to meet with the ladies and wives who were also participating in the Buddhist affairs, so that the juniors in the family did not have to wait, but only had their own food first. Here, Huang Wei also woke up from sleep, got up and shouted to eat, but he had to wait for Daiyu, and when he saw her at this time, he hurriedly stepped forward to catch his hand and complained: "My sister is so good at playing, I went to see the scene with the fourth sister, and I didn't take it with me." I don't care, I will go for a walk in the mountains in the second half of the day, if my sister does not accompany me, I will definitely not follow. Suddenly, he remembered something, frowned, and said, "Why did my sister come alone?" The fourth sister came from home early, and the second brother sent it. Did you meet on the road? The second brother didn't make a decision, and he actually left his sister alone in the mountains, if the old lady knew, wouldn't she beat him hard?"

Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "The fourth sister has something to do temporarily. It's me who is greedy for the scenery and refuses to be together. Besides, I wasn't left alone, Cousin Zhang was also there, and Fang was walking back together. You didn't hear a movement at the gate of the courtyard?"

Huang Wei thought about it carefully, and Fang nodded: "That's right." ”

Daiyu said: "You are a villain, what do you always want to do so much? And just now you shouted that you were hungry, hurry up and go with me to eat, and only then will you have the strength to patrol the mountains in the afternoon." ”

Huang Wei smiled and agreed, and followed her to the dining room next door. After the two of them had eaten the meal, they heard a sound at the door, and two sturdy servants came in carrying a flat jar with a shallow mouth and a black glaze. The depth of the water in the tank was only half an inch, and there was a piece of green tiles and a few large and small rain stones, and the mountain turtle lay on the tile, and the right hind foot and tail were glued with medicinal mud. Behind the servant woman was followed by Zhou Wan, the scribe of Zhang Hui. When Huang Wei saw it, he was overjoyed and asked, "Did your cousin ask you to send it?" Hey, why is this turtle still hurt?"

Zhou Wan saluted Huang Wei, and then gave a folded piece of paper to Daiyu and said, "Miss Lin, go back to the young master and let me send this." ”

Daiyu took it, unfolded it and glanced at it, closed it again, and said with a smile: "I know everything." Said please rest assured cousin. If there is anything you don't understand, you will naturally bother him again. ”

Zhou Wan saluted and withdrew. Here, Huang Wei immediately came up and asked Daiyu about the situation. Daiyu explained them one by one, and told them not to tell outsiders, and she didn't say anything more.

But he said that Zhou Wan returned to Zhang Hui and told him about the situation. When Zhang Hui heard Huang Wei's behavior, he smiled and said, "This six girls have these excitements. Just don't start tossing at will, delay the recovery of the injury, and make Sister Lin worried. So he thought of finding another bird to play with her, so as to attract her heart. He thought to himself as he walked outside. Coincidentally, someone from outside came in and collided with him——。
