This post was just sent from outside, and I don't know who sent it, but it only said that on the eighth day of the fourth month, Qin Bai was asked to go to Jixiang Nunnery to enjoy the flowers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 There is no signature on the info post, only a faint aroma, a little spicy, mixed with a little medicinal smell, not pleasant.

Nowadays, it is rare to use this aroma as incense.

Qin Hanzhen looked at the post, and couldn't guess who asked his grandfather out. However, looking at Qin Bai's expression, he seems to be in a good mood, probably an old friend he met in Beijing thirty years ago? But if it is a man, why do you still make an appointment to meet in the nunnery?

Qin Bai had a faint smile on his face: "It is indeed old knowledge." The peach blossom forest of Jixiang Nunnery is very famous, although the weather is warm now, but the peach blossoms in the nunnery must not be exhausted? The eighth day of the fourth month is the Buddha's birthday, just to go to the incense. We went out early, and when things were done, we could go and see the puja at Dabaoguo Temple. There is a book market in Dabaoguo Temple, and Ming'er must be very lively, so we just went to take a stroll. I simply ate lunch over there. I remember a time-honored store that made vegetarian food and good gluten. ”

He turned to Niu's: "Don't you always say that the food in Beijing is not very palatable, and you want to eat noodles? ”

Niu Shi listened with interest: "Really? Then I really want to taste it." "I'm a little worried, whether to bring Brother Zi'er with me. If you don't take him, the whole family will go out, and leaving him a little person at home will be lonely and pitiful. But if you take him with you and encounter a lively market, don't crowd the children.

Qin Bai said: "Bring it with you, it's okay." told him to keep an eye on the child, and then called two more older and steady long-term followers to accompany them. Brother Zi'er followed our husband and wife all the way from Datong to the capital, and he suffered a lot on the way, and it was difficult for him to be quiet and sensible as a small person, and never caused us trouble. Now that I have returned to the capital, since I want to go out to see the prosperous scene, how can I not call him? I will go to Jixiang Nunnery to see the old people to catch up with the old people, and also let the old people meet our children and grandchildren. ”

When Niu heard this, he agreed, and asked Mama Hu to tell Brother Zi'er the good news with a smile: "He must be happy." I actually want to go out to play on weekdays, but because we don't open our mouths, he can't bear to say it, it's really pitiful, and now it's a wish. Mama Tiger smiled and went.

Qin Hanzhen asked Qin Bai curiously: "Grandfather, who is this old man you want to see tomorrow? Is it your former good friend? You made an appointment at Jixiang Nunnery, is it because you have been there before?"

Qin Bai smiled: "Jixiang Nunnery is a nunnery anyway, except for the female relatives who go there to offer incense, it has always been rare to see male guests. When I was a teenager, I went with your great-grandmother a few times to enjoy the peach blossoms there. However, the reason why this old man asked me to meet there was probably only because it was convenient. You don't have to ask, if you have any questions, you'll know when you meet Ming'er. ”

Grandfather sold Guanzi, Qin Hanzhen only felt confused, and didn't understand why there was any need to hide this kind of thing.

But Qin Bai had already turned to Zhao Mo and specially instructed him: "Ming'er dress neatly and decently, you don't have to be gorgeous, you are still in filial piety now, as long as you are clean and tidy." From the moment you go out, remember to be polite, be cautious in your words and deeds, treat people kindly, and do not be rude. ”

Zhao Mo's heart moved, looking at Qin Bai, Qin Bai just smiled on his face, and he couldn't see anything unusual. Zhao Mo stood up straight and saluted solemnly: "Yes, uncle and grandfather." "But the heartbeat is a few beats faster.

Qin Hanzhen noticed something was wrong, and asked him in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?" Could it be that what is the meaning of his grandfather's words to Zhao Mo?

Zhao Mo wanted to speak and stopped, thinking that he was actually just guessing, so he smiled and said: "It's nothing, I think that it is difficult for Ming'er to go out......"

Qin Hanzhen thought that he was happy to be able to go out to play, and said with a smile: "I'm also very happy." You've been to Longfu Temple once, but I've never seen what it's like outside the mansion since I entered this mansion. ”

Zhao Mo said gently: "In the future, when I am free, I will go out with my cousin?"

Qin Hanzhen waved his hand: "Forget it, it's not very convenient." I want to go out every day, but unfortunately there are big rules in this house. In two days, I'm going to school again, and I have to spend a lot of energy just to cope with my homework, so where will I have time to go out?"

Niu asked her: "I said that after you moved to Mingyuewu, you will start going to school, why do you have to wait for two more days?"

Qin Hanzhen said: "I originally planned to go yesterday, but who knew that Mr. Lady was sick." On the day I moved, my second sister set up a banquet for me to warm up, and I took leave in advance to return to Mingyuewu, and brought the other sisters with me. I only nodded when the female gentleman didn't slap her, and then I heard that she was really sick. She was already a little unwell that day, probably because of a cold, and as soon as the second sister spoke, she agreed to come down. I thought I would be fine with a half-day break, but when I was in class yesterday, my condition became more and more serious, and I couldn't hold it anymore, so I sent someone to tell the second aunt about it, and I took two days off. The second aunt said, "Let me rest at home for two more days." When the female gentleman recovers, it is not too late to go to school. The second sister is the same, she is afraid of getting sick. ”

When Niu Shi heard this, he sighed: "The female gentleman invited by them in the long room is really a good person, and she still insists on attending classes when she is sick." If your grandfather has a headache and brain fever in our house, I won't let him go out!" But when she thought about it, she felt that it was wrong, "Why did that lady send someone to tell your second aunt that she could get a leave? Could it be that she taught your sisters or came on an errand? Your grandfather taught students at home, and he always wanted to stop class, who would dare to say a word?"

Qin Hanzhen said: "How is this the same? Although they are all teachers, my grandfather is famous in Mizhihe County, and he has taught so many promising students, and he opened a school in his own home, and he is in charge of his own territory. Although the female gentleman was very famous, she was invited to teach the girls in the Chengenhou Mansion. The Hou Mansion is the main family, and it is also a relative of the emperor and the country, so the idle teachers don't dare to put up a fight, right? I heard the second sister say, if you don't understand the homework, just ask the female gentleman, you can ask at any time, and the female gentleman will let you learn it. Ordinary teachers, how can they do this?"

Niu Shi was speechless: "My good man, such a teacher is too aggrieved to do." Didn't she say that she had taught the crown princess? Why was this Hou Mansion still so unkind to her? Could it be that Qin Song really had such dignity? I didn't believe it. ”

Qin Hanzhen replied: "It's true that Mr. Lady taught the crown princess, but she is just one of the princess's teachers." I heard that she now lives in a small courtyard at the back of the Hou Mansion, which is the place arranged for her by the second aunt, and she sent two mothers-in-law and a girl to serve. She brought two old family members with her. Other than that, I haven't heard of any relatives in her. Grandmother, you think, she is in her forties, she has no relatives and no reason, and she lives alone in the house, and there must be a story that makes people sigh. She may be counting on the retirement in the Hou Mansion, so naturally she will not offend the long house and lose this job. ”

Niu Shi understood: "It's weird, it's also a poor person." When you go to school, you have to respect your husband. It's a pity that I don't know what her temperament is, in terms of age is only a little younger than me, if she has a good temperament, maybe I can go to her when I have time. Although this yard is spacious, you can only face your grandfather at home every day, and it is boring after a long time. I want to go out and talk to someone, but I don't know where to go. There are big rules in Songfeng Hall, I don't want to go; the yin and yang in the second room are weird, so I don't look for guilt; your second aunt is compatible with me, but she is also a grandmother, and she is busy every day; I don't know your third aunt well. In this way, there is not even a place to visit the door. It's better for us to live comfortably in the county, where we still have a few relatives and friends. ”

Qin Hanzhen smiled: "This is also a helpless thing, we are new here." But don't worry, grandmother, when you're here and you're familiar with people, it's not trivial to want someone to talk to?"

Qin Bai smiled and said: "Ming'er, let's go to the outer city to see the old man, if you can get along, the elders of his family may have to invite you to sit down." Do you still need to worry about having nowhere to visit the house? In the future, when you go out, you are afraid that you will be annoyed, but you hope to live a quiet life. ”

Niu Shi glanced at him: "Don't coax me." If it is true as you say, why haven't we even left the door these days? I advise you to find someone you knew in the past and reminisce about old feelings, but you still say that it is not the right time. When is the time?"

Qin Bai just smiled and said nothing.

He refused to answer, and the Niu family couldn't do anything about him. It just so happened that Brother Zi'er got the good news and happily ran to find his grandmother, and asked him what clothes he should wear tomorrow with some embarrassment. Niu hugged his grandson and said happily: "You can wear whatever clothes you like! He said to Qin Hanzhen again: "You also wear new ones." Since they've done it, you just have to wear it, and pick the one that is plain and not fancy. It's easy to go out, and you can't always wear a whole body of linen and white, so that people can look at it and point at it. ”

Qin Bai said: "It's not a bad thing for the children to dress plainly. We husband and wife should not dress too ornately, and the muslin clothes brought from home are very good, clean and decent. Sister Sang, don't wear filial piety, just pick a thinner one and wear the new clothes made during the Chinese New Year this year. ”

Niu Shi was surprised: "Why is this? Although Sister Sang'er wears clothes for the New Year have colors, they are winter clothes, so this weather is probably not cheap, right?"

Qin Bai said: "Then pick a similar one." In short, don't be too flashy, what we looked like when we were in the Northwest, just dress up like that. ”

Niu Shi seemed to understand: "Oh, the master is afraid that we are well dressed, and it will be easy for Xiao Xiao to target us when we go out, right?"

Qin Bai didn't say yes, but Niu only accepted his suggestion as a tacit acquiescence, and personally took his grandchildren to pick out the clothes to go out tomorrow. Seeing that Mama Tiger and Qingxing were talking outside the door, she specially called them to help with the details.

Only Zhao Mo and Qin Bai were left in the room. Zhao Mo hesitated for a moment and asked Qin Bai: "Uncle and grandfather, it seems that the cigarette on that post is Angelica Angelica...... If you are just seeing her, then why do you want to tell your aunt and cousin to dress?"

Qin Bai looked at him and smiled: "Do you have any doubts in your heart, don't ask, don't think about it, just follow me out of the door." I don't know anything, I just want to see my old people. ”

He paused: "It's just to see the old man......" (To be continued.) )
