Chapter Twenty-Nine: Occasionally
Little Crane was called into her carriage by the old lady. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The old lady's carriage looked precious on the outside, but it was very comfortably furnished inside. The carriage is very large, and there is a reclining couch at the back of the car to rest, separated by a curtain, two rows of stools wrapped in cotton in front, and a tray fixed on one side.
Xiaohe sat down opposite the old lady, and Qing'er and Lanyi followed.
Qing'er brought up a small teapot, and Lan Yi hurriedly turned over the cup on the tray and put it away, and the elegant fragrance of flowers suddenly filled the carriage.
Xiao He smiled, the old lady seemed to be quite fond of the flower tea in the Flower Pavilion, maybe she was older and liked novelty things more.
The old lady looked at the little crane with satisfaction, the little girl was really beautiful dressed up.
Look at this body, it is refreshing and atmospheric, and the purple lining makes her young and extravagant.
It's really nostalgic for when I was young, when I was so young and beautiful, pampered like a peony with dew, and I couldn't even blow the wind.
"Grandmother," said the little crane, looking at the old lady curiously, "what are you thinking?"
The old lady came back to her senses, patted Xiaohe's hand, and couldn't help but smile when she saw the jade bracelet in her hand.
"When I get old, when I see a little girl, I think of the time when I was a little girl. ”
The little crane smiled and shook the old lady's hand. "Oh, my grandmother is not old, she looks like my aunt. ”
Then he followed and asked: "Grandmother, what were you like when you were young, and are you the same as the noble lady now?"
The old lady also smiled, "Look at what you said, when I was young, at that time, Chen Liguo was not long ago, and there were often remnants of the previous dynasty in the capital who tried to restore the country......"
The old lady is the eldest daughter of the Dingguo Mansion, and she grew up in the palm of her hand since she was a child.
She was born when Da Chen Liguo, when her grandfather had to be crowned the Duke of the Kingdom, so the family regarded her as a lucky star.
It can be said that she is the most dazzling flower in Da Chen. She accepts the best of all and has never suffered a single grievance.
Xiaohe listened with great interest, the old lady's childhood and girlhood are really enviable, jealous and hateful!
But how did the old lady marry into the Zhenguo Mansion? It stands to reason that the marriage between the two major princes is not a royal taboo?
Xiaohe's hand unconsciously touched the jade bracelet, could it be that the mother is the victim of the marriage?
The young lady of the Dingguo Mansion did not enter the palace, and the only lady who married between the two mansions was not included in the harem by the royal family?
Looking at the old lady with sweet memories on her face, Xiaohe sighed secretly, it was really good to be protected, but I was afraid that the grandfather of the old country would also protect her in his hands, and he was reluctant to make her sad.
A mother who can be hidden for ten years does not know the true whereabouts of her daughter, Xiaohe doesn't know whether to praise the good skills of the old grandfather and father, or to sigh the old lady......
The carriage stopped suddenly, and Xiaohe's thoughts were interrupted at once.
Qing'er and Lanyi got out of the car first, and a little maid came over with a stool.
"Old lady, Baoguo Temple has arrived. Qing'er helped the old lady get out of the carriage.
Blue Yi stepped forward and stretched out his hand, "Girl!" Xiaohe put his hand on it and jumped down lightly.
Wang and Lin took Xie Yanjia and Xie Yanyun down from the carriage behind.
Lin came over to help the old lady and asked with a smile: "Mother is good all the way, can you have a rest?"
The old lady glanced at Xiao He, "With this little monkey here, how can it!"
"Mother told Xiaohe something interesting, let us hear it later!" Wang stepped forward and helped the other side.
"I'm afraid you don't like to hear it," the old lady raised her hand to beckon, "Jia'er, Yun'er, come here, go in with grandmother!"
Xie Yanjia and Xie Yanyun both stepped forward with a smile and stood with Xiaohe.
A monk from Baoguo Temple has already carried a small sedan chair over, and invited a group of women to get on the sedan chair and carry it up the mountain.
This is not a very high mountain, Baoguo Temple is halfway up the mountain, Xiaohe looked at it, with his own foot strength, a stick of incense can go up.
Because of the advance notice, there are no bystanders on this path to enter the temple from the side, and Baoguo Temple has already sent monks to clear the way.
"Grandmother," said the little crane to the old lady, "the little crane wants to go up by himself, and he can also see the scenery in the mountains." ”
The old lady thought about it and heard her son say that Xiaohe grew up on the mountain since he was a child, and it was easy to climb this little mountain, so she nodded.
"Okay, call a few maids to follow, and if you are tired, go and ask the monk to carry the sedan chair. The old lady looked at Wang's orders.
In addition to the blue clothes and green clothes, the Wang family assigned a few capable maids, and then got on the sedan chair.
The quiet Miss Xie followed Lin in a sedan chair.
The lively Miss Xie Er really wanted to be with Xiaohe, but unfortunately she happened to have a little cough two days ago, and the Wang family didn't allow her to climb the mountain, in case she sweated, it would not be good to blow some cold wind.
Seeing Xie Yanyun sitting in a sedan chair and looking behind him from time to time, Xiaohe couldn't help but want to laugh, another young lady who was raised by a thousand loves, fortunately she was not spoiled, her daughter's family is a little better, isn't there a saying that "rich daughters raise poor children"!
Xiaohe stood at the foot of the mountain and watched the old lady and her party go up far away.
Because it came early, the early winter sun had just hung on the small hillside in the east, and the soft sunlight shone on people, bringing a little warmth.
Xiaohe didn't dare to stretch his waist, so he had to straighten up and stretch a little, feeling very unhappy.
The little crane rolled his eyes and called Lan Yi and Tsing Yi over.
Lan Yi nodded and called a few other maids over. "The girl commanded that we should follow behind, and not make any noise for her to see the scenery. ”
The maids nodded yes.
Xiaohe took Tsing Yi first, both of them were fast, and Lan Yi and the others lost their figures in the blink of an eye.
Xiaohe didn't go directly to the mountain, at her speed, she went up directly, but she was afraid that she would catch up with the old lady at once.
There is a small path on the side, winding, I don't know where it leads, the little crane stepped on it with great interest, and the right to step on the "winter".
The morning breeze brings a chill, a tea journey, the scenery in front of you suddenly changes, there is actually a ginkgo forest, the deep and shallow like poetic yellow leaves, the beauty is suffocating.
"Girl, it's so beautiful!" Tsing Yi couldn't help but admire.
Xiaohe stretched out his hands, lifted his skirt, and spun around happily, "Yes, it's so beautiful that people are reluctant to leave." ”
"Alas!" seemed to sigh in the wind.
The crane stopped and listened carefully. "Tsing Yi, did you hear anything? ”
Tsing Yi shook his head, "How come, the girl heard it wrong, it should be the rumor." ”
The little crane stared, and then laughed at himself suspiciously.
This whole mountain is the place of Baoguo Temple, and since it has been cleared, no one should come to this secluded place.
"Girl, go back!" Tsing Yi looked at the trail, "If you don't go back, I'm afraid that Lan Yi will be in a hurry." ”
Xiaohe glanced at the ginkgo forest again with nostalgia, and followed Tsing Yi back.
It's just that when he turned around, in a blink of an eye, there seemed to be a yellow shadow passing through the treetops.
This time, Xiaohe was sure that someone else was in the ginkgo forest, perhaps a senior monk of Baoguo Temple, and he disturbed other people's practice.
Xiaohe didn't dare to stay longer, just as if he hadn't found anything, he didn't look back, and left.
