Chapter 87: Apologies

Ye Wenxin bent down and didn't dare to raise his head, and the prince didn't have a reason to help a girl who had not left the cabinet, he glanced at the girl of the Wu family, and let his cousin help, so naturally he had to say a few more words.

But the girl of the Wu family saw Ye Wenxin twice, she didn't even say a word, she expected that she was shy, and she swept her face coldly, and she would definitely refuse to look up.

But even if the cousin made a look, he couldn't help but look at it, and said crisply: "Cousin, hurry in, if you don't leave, where can these people stand up." The girl's house, who knelt on the ground, buried her face in the way of the rules, and when the prince saw that this was indeed the case, he called out, and these had to stand in the corner of the wall, smile, and turn away.

Ye Wenxin secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and when the prince turned around to enter the house, he was pulled up by the girl of the Wu family, and the warm ears were released, revealing half of her face.

The prince's regular clothes are also the same as the gold embroidered dragon, and the corners of the robe are embroidered with layers of gold seeds, and the seed needles are densely embroidered, just like the small beads that are embellished, and the big cloak of the clouded leopard is covered with gold and jade, and when he touches it, he is next to Ye Wenxin's eyebrows.

The girl of the Wu family didn't expect it to be so heavy, and she sighed softly, the prince was dressing up, and when she heard her call to know that the touch was not light, she turned her eyes sideways, and only saw half of Ye Wenxin's exposed face, squinted her eyes slightly, and was stunned.

Shi Gui hurriedly took out a handkerchief: "Girl, cover it." ”

Ye Wenxin pinched the veil and blocked her face tightly, and the girl of the Wu family was still saying, "How good is this." "A piece of skin was broken, and the red piece on the eyebrow bone became more and more swollen the more I touched it.

It's not a matter of standing like this, Ye Wenxin lowered his head and didn't dare to raise it, but the girl of the Ji family opened her mouth: "Go back and find a clean place for us." ”

The prince was followed by the attendants, these seven or eight little ladies who had not even booked their relatives, they could no longer go into the house, there were pavilions and corridors behind them, and it was not a place where male guests could go, although there was some wind, but these people were dressed thickly, and they put together two charcoal basins, which were brighter and warmer than in the hall.

Ye Wenxin didn't say a word, he supported Shi Gui's heart next to the wall, turned his back, covered the red and swollen area with a handkerchief, shrunk his shoulders and wrapped himself firmly with a cloak, half of his body was almost pressed on Shi Gui's body, and Shi Gui helped her to the pavilion behind Yu.

There has long been a girl who has raised the charcoal basin, there are many nobles who come to Yuanmiaoguan, there is still a big screen in the warehouse, and people are asked to carry it out and surround the pavilion, and it will be hot after a while, but Ye Wenxin still has a cold sweat on her hand, and when she comes to her senses, she thinks about it just now, but she is not very afraid.

The girl of the Wu family saw that her lips were white, she only thought she was afraid, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, my cousin is not an unreasonable person, he touched you in the first place." ”

Shi Gui went to the small kitchen familiarly, wanting to beg for an egg, but he didn't expect Ye Wenxin to be so delicate, the eyebrow bone was all swollen, and he had to quickly take the egg and roll it, and the swelling could be reduced before he could eat the feast.

The small kitchen was still guarding the bright moon, heard the footsteps, and quickly sat up straight, originally told him to watch the fire, holding a big bamboo tube in his hand, and heard that someone was coming, so he made a look of looking hard, and when he turned his head and saw that it was Shi Gui, his shoulders immediately collapsed, and his face was still serious, and then he was lazy and smiling: "Shou Tao is not good yet, you will come back later." ”

It is better to see an acquaintance in Jinling than to rely on the Taoist temple without knowing anyone, not to mention that Shi Gui also gave him 500 yuan, which is the largest amount of money he has ever seen when he grows so big, and it is still firmly hidden at this time.

Mingyue has a way to hide money, he has no long things, except for the Taoist robe on his body, others have to bring a blanket when they go out, fill some dry food and cakes, change clothes, he only carries the five hundred money given by Shi Gui, and he takes it out and counts it when he has nothing to do, and touches all the copper edges.

Since I don't plan to go back, I went to the kitchen to steal a long cloth pocket with rice, this cloth pocket is specially sewn for the senior brothers who go down the mountain to fill rice, and you can cook some rice anywhere you bring at home.

The size of this cloth bag is exactly a copper plate, he tied the copper coin tightly with a rope, put it in the cloth bag, wrapped it around his waist and wrapped it tightly, and took it wherever he went, but his robe did not fit, and he looked empty, and he didn't know that he still had such a "huge amount of money" hidden on his body.

Shi Gui was also taken aback, but in the end she was calmer than Ye Wenxin, her hand made Ye Wenxin hold it tightly, and her long nails were tightly embedded in the flesh, the little girl was not very energetic, but her nails were long, and she couldn't take care of it just now, and when she raised it at this time, she saw that her skin was broken: "I'm not here to Shou Tao, I'm here to ask for a hard-boiled egg." ”

The Taoist temple is not completely free of meat, the monks are vegetarians, and the laymen at home can also eat meat, although Zhang Lao Xianren is a vegetarian, but the eggs are still eaten, Mingyue has only come a few days, and the corners of the kitchen have been touched to the door, where to put rice and oil, he knows better than the oil stealing rats.

Mingyue was dexterous, jumped up gently, stepped on the stool and touched the basket hanging on the wall, took out an egg from it, quickly lifted the lid of the copper kettle, and threw the raw egg into the boiling water: "You wait, it'll be fine in a while." ”

Shi Gui answered, opened the lid of the water tank and scooped up a scoop of water, and took the water to flush her hands, Mingyue saw a large piece of green on her hand at a glance, and pulled her: "You were beaten?"

Shi Gui has always felt that Mingyue is a child, but when he got closer, he realized that this skinny monkey had grown a lot taller after not seeing him for a few months, and he had a lot of strength in his hands, Shi Gui immediately smiled: "No, the girl is angry, and she also taught me to write and read." ”

Mingyue heard that Shi Gui had begun to read and write, so he let go of his hand, he only knew half of the scriptures, sat on a small stool, pulled over the basket, and there was a basket of raw fruit walnuts in it, grabbed a handful and ate it, he was anxious, he didn't like to peel the shell, as soon as he bit the peanuts, he ate them with the scum, and stuffed a handful to Shi Gui, so that she could eat them too.

What he saw in the courtyard was either under the fence or sold into slavery, Shi Gui looked at him and said to him with two words: "How good you are, even if you are beaten, you are also free, as long as you have the ability to make a living, you don't have to stay here." ”

I pinched the peanut fruit and poured it out, and after a while, I peeled off one hand, lifted the lid of the pot and saw that the egg had already rolled up, so I quickly waved it out and gave all the nuts to Mingyue: "You won't be beaten here, you can read and write, follow Zhang Lao Immortal, and you can't say that you can go to Qintianjian." ”

Mingyue rolled her eyes, took the kernel and stuffed it into her mouth, and said while chewing, "I'm not a Taoist priest." Shi Gui knew that Mingyue didn't want to be a Taoist priest, but at his age, he could find a career by himself, and he didn't ask where his home was or who else was in the family, so he smiled and took the eggs and left.

Mingyue was beaten that was commonplace, and the people who couldn't support their children under the mountain also sent it to the Taoist temple, Mingyue was like this, her mother wanted to remarry, and there was no place to place him, so she sent him to the Taoist temple, gave a basket of elm noodles, sold the land, and all the money in the house was empty, and he carried things to remarry.

At that time, Mingyue had already remembered, knowing that her father had gone out and had not come back for two or three years, and the people in the same village said that they had died when they encountered a water bandit, and where could the young woman keep it, she first had a head and tail with the people in the village, and then simply remarried.

He came out this time, he came to find his father, only remembered that the villagers said that they came to Jinling, and then there was no letter, he came to look for it, and he didn't remember the appearance of his father, but he remembered that his father loved to eat fish heads, and there was a pond in the village, and he caught a fish to drink and eat, pinched the fish head, and gave him the belly of the fish to eat, and the two of them shared a fish eye.

But you can't always catch people and ask if you love to eat fish heads, Mingyue is whimsical, where does the young man in the mountains know how Jinling is, when he enters Jinling City, he knows that he is looking for a needle in a haystack, and immediately changed his mind, it is good to find nature, and he lives by himself if he can't find it.

He stared at the gray tiles of the white wall outside the window frame, the dripping snow beads kept hitting the window edge, next to the fire, and there were still a dozen or so peanuts left in his hand, all of them were thrown into his mouth, chewed a mouthful, and smacked his mouth: "it." With his feet propped up on the stove, the man leaned back and squinted his eyes warmly.

Qiong Ying twisted the veil and was dressing Ye Wenxin's eyes, Shi Gui peeled the eggs, and the rest of these ladies all knew the reason, Ye Wenxin was the most shy person, don't come out to enjoy the snow and plums, she fell at the end, when she went back, wasn't she the first, she couldn't avoid it, she closed her mouth one by one, and passed the matter, not even mentioning the injury on her face.

Song Zhimei sat next to her, comforting her softly, saying that the injury on her face looked horrible, and then saying that it was good to take something and put it on it, and she wanted to go around and around to the prince, don't say anything, she stopped talking, her face was still smiling, and she saw that the girl of the Chen family was sitting far away from her.

One time is unknown, two times unknown, see the third time, Song Zhimei's generous and dignified face can't hold on, she turned out to be makeup, there is always a time when she is not thoughtful, the Chen family girl saw her look over, turned around, and pinched a plum blossom on the side of the pavilion that opened into the pavilion.

A group of people were sitting down against the screen to roast the fire, but a little eunuch came outside, saluted, and presented a food box, and at a glance it was known that it was sent by the prince, and he was the only one with the eunuch by his side.

As soon as the food box was opened, the upper two layers were imperial dim sum, and the bottom layer was opened, and everyone peeked at Ye Wenxin, small but not surplus, the small dumplings were made colorful, and there were jade siu mai, mille-feuille oil cakes, chrysanthemum steamed buns, one by one pinched in the hand is still too small, at a glance, you can know that it is Yangzhou dim sum.

The little eunuch said that it was sent on a special trip, and the girl of the Ji family sent the reward, and she also knew that it was an apology, but it was difficult to say it, so she asked someone to send tea and eat snacks with snow beads.

The girl of the Wu family picked a small green-skinned dumpling and gave it to Ye Wenxin first, and Song Zhimei was about to speak, but she was cut off, but this time it was not the girl of the Wu family, but Yu Rong: "I don't know what kind of stuffing this green-skinned child is, I believe in Buddhism at home, but I don't eat onions and garlic." ”

Ye Wenxin glanced at her gratefully, Yu Rong also smiled back, Shi Gui thought that Yu Rong Zezhi and the two girls would be thirteen years old in the New Year.

As soon as she opened her mouth, Song Zhimei had to hold a cup of tea, and the girl of the Ji family laughed: "What Xiao Dezi sent must be proper, so he didn't know, and he commanded from above, and he must listen to people's preferences clearly, I love snowflake cakes, Weiqing loves to eat heart fruits, whether it is south or north, he knows." ”

One sentence relieved Ye Wenxin's embarrassment, and the girl of the Chen family pursed her lips: "The chrysanthemum cake I love is also available, and it deserves a heavy reward." ”

Shi Gui also put on Ye Wenxin's face, but Qiong Ying was absent-minded, and she couldn't wait to go back immediately and tell these to Mama Feng, Ye Wenxin was so frightened that she didn't dare to raise her face, only saw the prince's robe and boots, and didn't see anything beside him, and he didn't even know whether the prince was round or flat, so he was embarrassed at this time, took a bite of the small dumpling, and smiled slightly: "It's an authentic Xiao family dim sum." ”
