Chapter 7: Seven Exits
Mama Zhou has been wiping tears and sighing since she hit the old lady's yard. "Girl, it's useless to be an old slave, it's useless to be an old slave." Before the young lady left, the girl was the last thing she could let go, and now the eldest lady wants to move the girl out of the house, but the old slave can't help anything. Now, the girl is out, and who can she rely on? At this point, there was another low sob.
Heluo just didn't speak all the way, and when he arrived in his yard, he helped Mama Zhou sit down, and poured another glass of water that she usually mixed with spiritual springs.
Only then did he say slowly: "Mama doesn't have to be sad, now this situation is the best for Heluo." Now that my mother is gone, the eldest lady can't tolerate me for a long time, and she doesn't know how to fix me when she stays in the house. Now the old lady said that she was praying for the eldest sister and the eldest lady, and the eldest lady went to the temple to be out of reach, at least there would be no shortage of food and clothing, and she could take care of her body with peace of mind, no matter how you look at it, it is a good thing, why do you have to rely on the mermaid meat in this mansion!" And Heluo has a sentence that has not yet been said, and the two girls don't look at it well, and the eldest lady in this mansion is not too idle. Why should I stay here and be implicated?
Mama Zhou thought about it for a while, and she always felt that the current girl spoke in a reasonable and orderly manner, and it was convincing to follow her, so why bother thinking so much and causing trouble. So he hurriedly followed the girl's instructions and went to pack his things.
After Heluo returned to the room, he hurried into the space, picked and cleaned the remaining hibiscus, white chrysanthemum, and white plum in turn, separated them from the stamens, and dried the stamens on the dustpan, and then tore the petals and steamed them in the pot.
Finally, Heluo melts the various steamed greases together in a bowl, stirs them well, and steam them in a pot. This section takes a long time, and it needs to be steamed for a day and a night, and there is no need to say anything about it, but you must always pay attention to adjusting the size of the fire, and you can't let the water run dry. After Heluo did this, he went out of the space, and only went in a few times to adjust the fire and add some water.
After dinner, the old lady actually sent a maid around her to send a lot of daily necessities, and dozens of taels of silver, just saying that it was to let Heluo not wronged herself, Qingtan Temple had already sent someone to say hello, so there was no need to bother about it. After Heluo waited for people to leave, she was secretly happy in her heart, this old lady felt a little sorry for her, and she didn't live up to the humiliation she performed in the morning. After that, I washed up and went to bed, and I had no dreams all night.
Early the next morning, the eldest lady sent someone to tell her that the carriage was waiting outside the door. When Heluo heard this, he didn't say anything when he looked at the posture of wanting to get out quickly, but showed a somewhat ugly look on his face. Look at what Mama Zhou packed, there are not too many things, just some bedding for the two of them, clothes for the four seasons, and some jewelry of their own in a box, and the rest is only a piano, which is left by Aunt Ran.
Heluo sighed with emotion: I really have no long things. In a light tone, he instructed the little maid to move the things to the carriage, and he walked out with Mama Zhou.
The sky is just dawning, and the house is still quiet. Heluo and Mama Zhou walked to the door of the house, only to see a very ordinary Qingpeng carriage parked at the door, the coachman was checking the saddle, and the little girl was moving the luggage to the back of the carriage one by one, which was very quiet, making people feel a little desolate, and they never saw anyone else to see them off.
Heluo's face was full of reluctance, but he couldn't bear to cry. Standing by the carriage, he just glanced back, got into the carriage with the help of Mama Zhou, and sat down in the carriage when Mama Zhou also got in the car. I only heard the groom's "driving" sound, and the carriage slowly ran away. The door of the Thorn Mansion also slowly closed, and only the sound of horses' hooves knocking on the bluestone slab remained at the door, and it gradually became inaudible.
In the carriage, where could you still see the heartbroken expression on Heluo's face, Mama Zhou was speechless when she saw this, looked at the figure of the coachman outside the curtain, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Didn't the girl still be sad just now, why now?"
He Luo smiled lightly, revealing a bit of cunning. Now that she has figured out the character of Mama Zhou, an old loyal servant, she always puts her master first, and naturally dares to show her own feelings. replied: "After my mother left, there were a few people in Nafu who cared about me, and I didn't feel very comfortable looking at them. Those just now were made for the next people to see, and when the time came, the reputation of the eldest lady for treating her concubines harshly would not be able to escape. ”
Mama Zhou was dumbfounded when she heard it, when did her girl become so smart, but although she didn't understand, she felt that such a girl was much better than before.
Heluo was in the carriage, and when the carriage drove out of the city, he lifted the curtain with the permission of Mama Zhou. It was only later that I saw that the scenery was overlapping, and the carriage was bumpy, and I felt bored. He shrank his head back, told Mama Zhou to call her, and began to close his eyes and take a nap, and fell asleep after a while.
I don't know how long I slept, Heluo was shaken up by Mama Zhou, and I felt that the world was shaking so hard that I couldn't see clearly, and I didn't slow down for a long time. Seeing this, Mama Zhou had no choice but to help her and let the coachman step forward and knock on the door.
Qingtan Temple is not a big temple, because it has been subjected to the incense of Pei Mansion for a long time, and naturally there has always been a separate courtyard room prepared for Pei Mansion. In addition, this time, Mrs. Pei sent someone to make a special trip to say hello, saying that Miss Pei San was coming to pray for blessings, so naturally she didn't dare to be sloppy. Immediately, a monk came out to help carry the luggage, and found a woman who was doing chores in the temple to guide them to a place to live.
Heluo gradually woke up, saw the white walls and blue bricks in this temple, the green mountains and green waters, smelled the fresh air that can not be smelled in modern times, and his heart was full of joy, it was really a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers.
When I walked to the place where I lived, I saw a large courtyard, which was wide and needless to say, and to Heluo's surprise, there were several jacarandas planted. Heluo likes jacaranda in modern times, jacaranda is a tall flowering tree, every time it blooms, the tree is full of purple flowers like bells, the wind blows, the ocean falls down, it will also bring a burst of fragrance, Heluo feels that it is as beautiful as a fairyland.
Now it is the height of summer, the jacaranda is blooming vigorously, Heluo cheered, rushed into the yard, stood under the flower trees and circled, only felt that there was no better time than this.
The woman who led the way saw that the third lady of Pei's Mansion was so lively, covered her mouth and smiled: "This courtyard is the best place in the temple, next to it is the meditation room where the monks meditate and chant on weekdays, and it is far away from the monks' residences, the most quiet is it, you just have to live in peace." ”
At the same time, the old lady Pei of Pei Mansion was in the courtyard. Mama Hu came back from outside the courtyard gate, the little girl quickly opened the curtain, Mama Hu slowly walked to Mrs. Pei's side and whispered: "Someone from Qingtan Temple said that the third lady has arrived, and she is safe in the temple, please rest assured that the old lady." ”
Mrs. Pei put down the Buddhist beads in her hand and slowly opened her eyes: "It's good to arrive, this time the incident is wronged by Heluo." Relying on Heyu's draft, the daughter-in-law actually used her mother-in-law as a gunman, hehe," the old lady sneered a few times and said: "Heyu has not entered the palace yet, and I will keep this account until it is slowly settled in the future." ”
Mama Hu relied on the fact that she was the old lady's confidant and hurriedly answered: "No, the eldest lady really did a little too much this time, but the aunt is gone, the third girl is just a 10-year-old child, why is this so." I heard the porter say that when the three girls left in the early morning, they looked lonely, with tears in their eyes, but they didn't cry, which was very pitiful. Mama Hu sighed again.
Mrs. Pei didn't say anything more when she heard this, but she was a little disappointed in the face of this daughter-in-law.
After more than ten days, Master Pei returned from his errands. After hearing Heluo's matter, I was very dissatisfied in my heart, but when my aunt left, I promised to take good care of this daughter, although this daughter has a somewhat unpleasant personality, but in the end it is a girl's family, and she has not made any mistakes, can't Pei Fu still afford to raise a girl's family. It's just that because of Heyu, he didn't lose his temper in the end, but he just got cold for a few days, and he mostly went to his aunt.
The eldest lady has been very dissatisfied these days, the old man actually treated himself like this for that cheap girl, I am afraid that the old love for that slut is unforgettable, thinking of Aunt Ran's beautiful face, the eldest lady gritted her teeth again. I can't help but complain in front of my daughter.
Heyu's heart is a little more transparent than his mother's: "Mother has this time to complain, it's better to think about how to save Daddy's heart." Aunt Ran has gone, the living can't be compared with the dead, the third sister is a little girl, what can she do, why should the mother be angry for her and her father. Now that she is out of the house, my mother might as well send some things, one is to give my father a soft clothes, and the other is to make my father feel that my mother is virtuous. ”
The eldest lady listened to her daughter's words, although she was still dissatisfied with Heluo in her heart, but in the end, she couldn't bear her daughter's reasonableness, so she had to agree.
When Master Pei heard that the eldest lady had sent something to Heluo, he understood that this was the eldest lady's self-tenderness, and he accepted it.
After that, it's time for the eldest girl in Pei Mansion to set off for the draft, and Pei Mansion is busy again, so naturally no one will pay attention to Heluo anymore.
Heluo is much more comfortable in Qingtan Temple than in Pei's Mansion, and Mama Zhou also thinks so, and there are more smiles on her face. Busy all day long, helping to be a cook in the temple, doing some handymen to receive a salary. It's not like always guarding Heluo in Pei's mansion. Heluo is not afraid to stay in and out of the space as before.
In the space, Heluo grinds the stamens that have dried in the shade a few days ago into powder, slowly adds them to the fused petal grease paste little by little, slowly stirs them with a spoon round and round them, and then puts them in the divider bought in the temple, divides them into grids and puts them in the pot to steam and cook. After taking it out, it was kneaded into pills, put it in an urn, and buried it under the acacia tree.
The method of taking this dark incense pill written in the book, at the beginning, it was one pill a day, and after three months of eating, she could take one pill a week, and Heluo made two hundred pills this time, which was enough for her to take for a long time.
In the past few days, Heluo has been a little relaxed because he has completed the dark incense pill. Thinking of the seventeen-string zither he brought, he turned it over and put it under the flower tree in the yard, wiped it with a soft cloth, adjusted the strings, and began to try to see if he could use the modern twenty-one-string zither score on it, and found that the contrast between the two was only one less than the pitch of the seventeen-string string, as long as the pitch of the treble was lowered when playing, and then slightly adjusted.
Heluo looked at the peaceful atmosphere in this temple, and a song "Eight Views of Chang'an" poured out from her fingertips, because the Eight Scenes of Chang'an were to be converted into G tune, she didn't know how the strings were set in ancient times, and she still used the same shift column and tone change as in modern times, that is, after saving the piano saddles, the sound of the entire piano was changed.
Mama Zhou smelled the sound of the piano from afar, and only thought it was very good, but when she approached her yard, she saw her girl sitting under the flower tree, smiling at the corner of her mouth, and stroking the piano with a calm face.
Mama Zhou didn't want to disturb Heluo, so she stood aside silently, and waited until Heluo finished stroking the piano before she said loudly: "I don't know when the girl's piano has been played so well." It turns out that the young lady's piano is also very good, but the girl didn't want to follow the learning before, although she would, she didn't think it sounded, but when I listened to it today, I knew that it was already better than the blue. Mama Zhou laughed while joking.
He Luo smiled lightly: "If Mama thinks it sounds good, I will play it with you every day in the future." But I didn't expect that the sound of the piano every day after that became the background for the monks to do their homework, not to mention, but also attracted pilgrims to tell that there was Buddhist music in Qingtan Temple, which made the incense of Qingtan Temple a little stronger.
The summer is scorching, calculated, Heluo has been in Qingtan Temple for a month, these days are according to the estimated prescription to develop the body to rub the grease, and hair with the hair oil, because it is the residence only himself and Mama Zhou, there are many empty rooms and no one to disturb, so after the materials are ready, another room is opened. Because I wanted to use some fresh green bamboo and fragrant flowers, I planted some in the yard, and poured the spiritual spring to grow very well.
The temple is also accustomed to the preferences of this Miss Pei San, in addition to the sound of the piano every afternoon, it is to serve some flowers and plants, and fiddle with some bottles and cans.
There were some hurried footsteps outside, and then Mama Zhou walked in: "Girl, there is news from the house, the eldest lady's draft has been completed, and she has been named a beauty." ”。
