CHAPTER XLV

It was still the woman she saw a few days ago, Su Yan saw her holding a bamboo basket with her arms crooked, thinking that she was also here for the lotus canopy in the pool, and looked at the few lotus canopies left in the pool, Su Yan turned sideways and stepped out of the way, saying, "Madame, please." ”

When the woman heard this, she asked, "The girl thinks she is also a person who likes to eat lotus seeds, but why did she take the initiative to let me?" ”

"Everything should be talked about first-come, first-come, first-come, not to mention that the lady is older, and it is also appropriate for me to wait for the juniors to let go." Saying that, Su Yan lowered her head and smiled a little shyly, and said: "I just have a longer life in the temple, and my stomach is weak and gluttonous, but I don't have to eat." ”

Her words were thoughtful and thoughtful, and she was cute and cute with the little girl's family, which made people feel good softly.

The woman looked at the lines of her face and the smile with shame when she lowered her head, and a trace of nostalgia and amazement slipped through her eyes, and she couldn't help but say a few more words, "The girl came to the temple to make a vow?" ”

If it weren't for the vows, ordinary people wouldn't stay in the temple for long.

Su Yan shook her head, pursed her lips and smiled: "No, I was not in good health a few days ago, and my brother in the family saw that the temple was quiet, so he moved me here to recuperate." ”

Jingxing is true, but my brother is fake, so it is not easy to make people suspicious, not to mention that Su Yan's current body is really a little too thin, and her words have a little more credibility when she says them.

When Ping Shui met, at most, Su Yan bowed slightly to the woman after speaking, "Since that's the case, I won't bother Madame." ”

When Su Yan was about to turn around the side door of the Scripture Pavilion with Liuying, the woman behind her stopped her, "Girl." ”

Su Yan turned around, and the woman stood on the wooden bridge in the pool and said to her: "These lotus canopies can still boil two bowls of porridge, if the girl doesn't dislike it, wait before coming to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion in an hour, and I will bring the porridge to the girl." ”

Su Yan wanted to excuse herself, but Yu Guang glanced at the expression of Liuying behind her who changed in an instant, and the words of resignation turned around her mouth and swallowed it back, and blessed the woman from afar, "So I will thank Madame first." ”

***

In a separate courtyard in the southwest corner of Foguang Temple, there is a different world in the courtyard that is inconspicuous in appearance, as soon as you enter the door, you can see a pot of Qishou Changchun white stone bonsai on the black lacquer square table leaning against the wall, the Zen chair of the black lacquer cloud dragon holding the longevity mattress is placed on both sides, the wall near the door is placed with a red lacquer inlaid luodian high, a furnace of Jun lapis blue eight-flute string pattern bottle is placed on the several, the screen of the black lacquer ivory carving goes all kinds of diseases and blocks the shelf bed of the Huanghuali mica stone behind it.

On the black lacquer swast placed near the window, a woman leaned on the pillow to look at the scroll in her hand, she was wearing a white cotton robe covered with a layer of gauze, like a cloud of green silk twisted into a bun and falling loosely behind her head, only a white hosta was obliquely inserted.

Such a casual and inconspicuous outfit is not to be despised at all because of the wealth and grandeur around this woman.

The straight door was gently pushed open, and a person walked in lightly, only to see that she was wearing a lake blue plain makeup gown, and a honey-colored satin horse-faced skirt, but she was not the woman behind the Hidden Scripture Pavilion!

As soon as she came in, she went straight to the plain-robed woman, stood beside the woman and bowed slightly and whispered respectfully, "Niangniang." ”

The woman in the plain robe was the Queen Mother who came here three years ago to pray for the first emperor, and the woman who spoke to Su Yan just now was the Queen Mother's side Yuezhi!

The Queen Mother raised her eyelids, put down the scriptures in her hand and looked at Yuezhi, who was well maintained so that she was over forty years old and now looked like she was in her early thirties, she said lightly: "Yuezhi, do you have something on your mind?" ”

The master and servant have been for more than 30 years, and Yuezhi can see her thoughts with a single glance from the Queen Mother.

Yuezhi Mama smiled: "After all these years, what the maid is thinking in her heart, Niangniang can always see it at a glance." ”

She paused and hesitated, "The maid met a young girl when she went to the pool to pick lotus flowers a few days ago. ”

There are often girls who have not come out of the pavilion in this temple to ask for marriage, it is really not a new thing to see a young girl, and now Yuezhi must be what makes the girl different, the queen mother raised her eyes and looked at Yuezhi, and said a very light "um", signaling her to continue to say.

Mama Yuezhi showed a little sadness on her face, "Niangniang is here to cultivate and not interact with outsiders, and the maid shouldn't have much to do, but ......"

Thinking of the first time she saw the young woman leaning against the edge of the pool, Mama Yuezhi sighed, "But that girl looks like a ...... between her eyebrows."

She paused, glanced at the Queen Mother's expression and said, "It's like the county lord of Kangle back then." ”

As soon as Mama Yuezhi said this, not only Mama Xuezhi beside the Queen Mother, but also the Queen Mother, who had been calm, suddenly had waves on her face, she raised her head and said in a trembling tone: "Who do you say she looks like?" Leisure?! ”

Mama Yuezhi nodded silently, and after a long time, she saw that the Queen Mother's expression was a little calmer, and then she said: "Because of this, the maid will inevitably ...... When I saw the girl again today, I said two more words. ”

Mama Yuezhi's words were almost imperceptibly choked, "The maid still remembers the appearance of the county lord of Kangle, coquettish, shy and angry...... That girl is really like the county lord! ”

She raised her hands, as if she was holding something in vain, "Especially when she bows her head and is shy, her eyebrows and eyes are just like the county lord, as if they were carved out of a mold!" The maid looked at her as if she had seen the county lord of the year......"

Under her repeated words, the Queen Mother had already closed her eyes, clasped the edge of the Luohan bed with both hands, her expression was excited, and there was a hidden light in the corners of her eyes.

Seeing this, Mama Xuezhi hurriedly stopped Mama Yuezhi, who was still about to continue, and leaned over to gently comfort the Queen Mother.

After a while, the Queen Mother finally calmed down, she picked up the handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said to Mama Yuezhi, who had already knelt down in front of her to ask for sin: "Get up." ”

"The lord of Kangle County was raised by the Queen Mother herself, and her talent and temperament are comparable to ordinary girls, that is, her appearance is similar, but I am afraid that her temperament will be much worse, but I am afraid that Yuezhi will exaggerate it in a trance."

"Moreover, the lord of Kangle is the most filial, and he will not want to see the Queen Mother working hard for her, and the Queen Mother must take care of herself."

Xue Zhi whispered in the Queen Mother's ear with relief.

The Queen Mother nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Mama Yuezhi breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Niangniang, the lotus pods in the pond have been picked, and today is the last basket, I don't know if I will tell Wu Qing to let him order someone to go down the mountain to buy some?" ”

"That's it." The Queen Mother shook her head, "You should have drunk enough lotus seed porridge for a few months, let's boil more today, you and Xuezhi will use some, don't just think about serving me." ”

Xuezhi and Yuezhi thanked each other.

Mama Yuezhi didn't leave, she hesitated for a moment or two, and said: "That girl is also a lotus seed eater, I don't know ...... this lotus seed porridge."

The Queen Mother raised her eyes and looked at her deeply, and only nodded in agreement for a while.

Mama Yuezhi walked out of the house, and in the house, Mama Xuezhi bowed down and said in the queen mother's ear: "Yuezhi is good at advocating this time, don't blame her." ”

The Queen Mother looked at Yuezhi's departing back, and said softly: "Blame her for what she did, back then, the mourning family regarded Kang Le as their own daughter, how could she not." ”

Xue Zhi sighed lightly, "After so many years in the palace, Yuezhi is still like this, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing......

On the Luohan bed, the Queen Mother leaned on the pillow with her eyes closed, and for a long time, just when Xue Zhi thought she was asleep, a voice came faintly-

"There is always a mourning family to protect you."

Xuezhi was overjoyed and didn't say anything more.

***

Before the appointed time arrived, Su Yan took Liuying to the front of the Scripture Pavilion to wait, and waited for a quarter of an hour before Mama Yuezhi was late.

"Ma'am." Su Yan stepped forward.

Mama Yuezhi smiled on her face, "Let the girl wait for a long time." ”

She handed out the red lacquer inlaid food box in her hand, "This is the lotus seed porridge I boiled myself, the girl tastes it." ”

Su Yan came this time for this lotus seed porridge, so naturally she would not refuse, she took the food box and handed it to Liuying behind her, and then said to Mama Yuezhi: "There is Mrs. Lao, I don't know where Mrs. lives in the temple, and I will return the food box then." ”

Mama Yuezhi wanted to refuse her intention to return the food box, but when the words came to her mouth, she repented and changed her words: "If the girl is not too troublesome, she can go to the squatter room behind the Manjushri Hall to find a person who calls Wu Qing and hand over the food box to him." ”

Su Yan naturally should be, and thanked her again and again before leaving with Liuying.

When she returned to the dormitory, she couldn't wait to open the food box, only to see half of the large celadon and lotus wrapped in the red lacquer food box, and the bowl was full of soft and glutinous lotus seed porridge.

Liuying eagerly brought two sweet white porcelain bowls and filled a bowl of porridge for herself and Su Yan.

Xu is Yuezhi Mama has already calculated, this porridge is just enough for Su Yan and Liuying to have a bowl of each, no more, no less, I don't know what method she used, the lotus seed porridge boiled out is a little sweeter than Su Yan's boiling, the fragrance hooked Liuying even forgot the etiquette of the meal, snoring and swallowing with a bowl, and after a while, a bowl of porridge was at the bottom, and Su Yan had just moved down to a shallow level.

Liuying drank the porridge in her bowl, and even licked the bottom of the bowl before she stopped, her chin rested on the edge of the table, and her eyes looked at Su Yan without blinking, and her eyes almost wanted to glow green.

Looking at her salivating appearance, Su Yan secretly felt funny, pushed her bowl in front of her, and said with a smile: "Eat!" ”

Liuying was excited, and waved her hand again and again, "How can this work!" Girl, eat quickly! ”

Saying that, she pushed the bowl back in front of Su Yan as if she was really giving up, but while doing this, her eyes were staring at Su Yan's bowl without blinking.

Su Yan couldn't help laughing, coughed, and restrained the expression on her face, "I'm not hungry, but I'll feel uncomfortable after eating, so you can help me solve it." ”

"Really?" Liuying was skeptical.

Su Yan nodded.

Liu Ying hesitated to hold the bowl, and before she took her mouth, she glanced at Su Yan several times, and when she saw that she really didn't want to eat, she held the bowl and gobbled it up.

Su Yan looked at the person in front of her who almost wanted to bury her whole face in the bowl, and her eyebrows kept beating.

In the past month, she has a thorough understanding of the amount of food that Liuying eats.

She can eat as long as she wants.

Su Yan sometimes couldn't help but wonder, how could such a small body fit so much food, could it be that Liuying's body was full of stomach?
