The mountains were silent, and the wind outside was whirring the window paper.

Hua Bud looked up and said, "The mountain wind here is too strong, right?" "Even the windows of the house are installed with glass, but here they are all pasted paper, and no glass is installed.

Yueyao said to Qiao Lan to Hua Bud, who was still doing needlework under the lamp: "Don't do it, it hurts your eyes if you do too much needlework at night." ”

Before Hua Bud and Qiao Lan could speak, there was a sudden sound of a wolf howling outside. Hua Bud was clever and asked with a frightened face, "Girl, what is this thing calling?" How scary. "It's creepy.

Yue Yao smiled: "This is a wolf howl." Don't be afraid, the surrounding mountains have been cleared, and the wolves are far away from us!" In the past, she often heard wolf howls on the mountain, but Yueyao had a familiar feeling when she heard it again.

Hua Bud saw Yueyao's expression not moving. After reflecting on myself, I'm too timid, I don't even have half of the guts of my own girl.

Yueyao said: "In the future, Hualei will sleep with me, and Qiaolan will sleep with your mother." The mountain is simple, everyone will take a moment. "It's nice to have two people in a room.

Hao's mother and Qiaolan naturally had nothing to say. It's just that Hua Bud was a little uncomfortable, and said softly: "Girl, I'll sleep with Hao's mother Qiaolan." "It's a little squeezed, but it's comfortable, it's uncomfortable to sleep in the same bed with a girl.

Yue Yao waved her hand and said, "The bed is so big, where can three people sleep, let alone so much, wash and sleep!"

Hua Bud thought of Hao's mother's words, a slave must have the duty of a slave, and shook her head at the moment: "No, I'll go to sleep in another room." ”

Seeing her insistence, Yueyao had a little headache, which was overkill. Hurriedly said: "Mother Hao, Qiaolan, should I squeeze together with you?"

Hao's mother smiled and said, "It's cold in the mountains, and it's warm to huddle together." ”

Yue Yao shook her head and said, "If you are not used to it, you will have one quilt per person at that time." ”

Hao's mother looked at the small bed, this person's quilt is really small! But Hao's mother didn't speak. Seeing this, Hua Bud did not raise any objections.

Hao's mother went out with Hua Bud to fetch water, but Hua Bud came back after a while. Hua Bud said very angrily: "Girl, it's okay for the big girl to use the hot water." Anyway, it was burned for them. But they went too far. The water in the tank was used by them, and there was less than half a bucket of water. "Bud is really angry.

Yueyao shook her head and said, "Forget it." Today will be the end. "It is impossible for Yueyao to let Hao's mother fetch water so late, so she washes and scrubs with half a bucket of water right now. And he fell asleep.

Before going to bed, Yue Yao recited the Diamond Sutra three times cross-legged, and after Yue Yao finished reciting and lay down, Hua Bud said with great admiration: "Girl, you can recite the Sutra without looking." ”

Yue Yao nodded and said, "I have copied so many scriptures, and it is normal to remember them." ”

Hua Bud still thinks her girl is amazing.

Yueyao slept. Flower buds sleep outside. The buds tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and it used to be a girl's bed, and she slept under the bed. I always feel uncomfortable sleeping with a girl today.

Hua Bud still wanted to speak, but when she turned her head to look, she saw that Yueyao was already asleep. Flower Bud smiled. The girl doesn't twist her, what is she wrinkling about? In the past, when the girl was afraid, she also slept with her. Thinking of this, the buds are also relieved.

"Ah......h

Yue Yao hurriedly got up and asked, "What happened?" As a royal temple, Zhaohua Temple is very safe, and there will never be thieves.

Hao's mother was the fastest quickly, and when she came back after going out, she said with a very strange face, "Girl, there are rats in the house over there." ”

Yue Yao asked a little strangely, "Didn't you clean up from the inside to the outside yesterday, why are there still rats in the house?" No one has lived in it for a long time. It's not unusual to have rats in the house on the mountain, but it's strange why I didn't find it when I cleaned up the house yesterday. As long as you cleaned up well yesterday and closed the windows. There can be no rats.

Yueying wore a long cotton jacket and walked over with a pale face supported by Cai Qing. Yueying's heart palpitated, she was scared when she thought about it, and begged: "Third sister, can I sleep with you in the future." Although the rats weren't in her house, she was scared when she thought about it. She didn't dare to live in that room anymore, and she shuddered at the thought of rats in it.

Yueyao's heart sank, and she didn't know if this mouse was real or fake. But whether it's true or not, she won't agree to live with Yueying. said: "Eldest sister, let Mother Hao and Hua Bud Qiaolan go to help Cai Qing and them clean up the house carefully." "There weren't many things delivered yesterday, and it's easy to find the rats.

Hua Bud hurriedly responded: "Okay." ”

Yueying's eyes were a little injured, she was so miserable, and the third sister was still not relaxed. Are they really sisters? Yueying was still scared in her heart. But she is also a self-respecting person, Yue Yao has clearly disliked her and is unwilling to live with her, if she insists again, she will only lose her face. She's not that thick yet.

Yueyao couldn't sleep, and she had nothing to say to Yueying, so she took a step back and said, "If the eldest sister is not sleepy, I'll talk to you!" Yueyao never mentioned letting Yueying cat's bed rest.

Yueying wanted to talk to Yueyao well, but unfortunately the two didn't have anything in common. Yue Yao also felt the atmosphere awkward. took the scripture book and handed it to Yueying, and asked, "Eldest sister." Do you want to read the scriptures?" Yueyao also brought other books, such as medical books, but she didn't take them out.

It took five men two hours to finally kill the mouse in the room. Hua Bud sneered at Cai Lan and said, "You don't see such a big mouse in the room, and I don't know if you are corns." "When they clean the house, they search every corner, not to mention rats, not even a single worm; But such a big mouse didn't even know that it was nesting.

Cai Lan retorted: "This mouse obviously climbed in through the window in the middle of the night. ”

Qiao Lan looked at the closed window, if this mouse was not in the house, he could only climb in through the door, but where would he sleep at night without closing the window?

Cai Qing felt short of breath and didn't say anything. The girl's house was cleaned up with their hearts, but in their own room, the two of them were really tired, so they didn't clean up much, made the bed, washed and went to sleep. This rat must have been nested in the house and didn't find it.

Hua Bud snorted coldly: "Okay, whether this mouse crawled in from the outside or was already in the house, you know in your hearts." Now that the rat has been killed, we go back. ”

Cai Lan hurriedly stopped and said, "No, the house is so messy, you have to help us clean it up." ”

Hao's mother frowned. It's okay to help tidy up the house, but this tone makes Hao's mother unhappy. They were just here to help, and Cai Lan actually instructed them.

Hao's mother was silent, and Qiaolan felt that this matter should be handed over to Hua Bud. Hua Bud also lived up to expectations, and snorted coldly at the moment: "Just now, our girl just asked us to help you fight rats, but she didn't say that she wanted to help you clean up the house." Also, to be polite in the future, I'm not a little girl in your yard. The buds are really not used to the appearance of picking blue. Although the big girls in the mansion are very delicate, but the two have the same position, to put it mildly, the three girls are more expensive than the big girls, and they are one level higher than Cai Lan!

Cai Lan was about to speak, but was pinched by Cai Qing. Cai Qing is better than Cai Lan, and the three girls are more protective of the maids and women around them, and if they quarrel, they are not as good as them. Looking at this matter again, it was their own fault, Cai Qing smiled at the moment: "You see, in the middle of the night, if the two of us clean up, it will definitely take half a day, and it will definitely delay the two girls to sleep." ”

Although Hao's mother didn't like Cai Lan either, Cai Qing had a point, so she had to reply: "Then hurry up and clean up the house, don't let the girl wait too long." ”

Flower Bud doesn't have much to say now.

After packing up, Yueying returned to the house in fear. Lying on the bed tossing and turning and unable to sleep, in a daze, I saw a black shadow flashing by the window, and Yueying shouted loudly: "Picking blue, picking green." Come here, there's rats crawling in from outside. ”

Cai Lan and Cai Qing hurriedly entered Yueying's house, lit the lamp, and saw that the window was intact, and knew that Yueying was dazzled.

Cai Qing was more understanding and comforted: "Girl, you can sleep." I'm watching over you. "If you let the girl sleep by herself, then don't even think about sleeping.

Yueying looked at the kerosene lamp on the table, and then at Cai Qing who was waiting by the bedside, and finally dared to squint and sleep.

Yueyao lay down after Yueying left, and fell asleep after a while. Qiao Lan whispered to Hao's mother: "Our girl is so bold, and she is not afraid of mice. When she beat the mouse, her heart was scared like something, but the third girl didn't even frown when she heard it.

Hao's mother also thinks that her girl is very strange, and everyone should be surprised if they are not afraid when they encounter such a show, but the performance of the three girls seems to be commonplace. The three girls have been pampered since childhood, and this look is really strange.

Hao's mother shook off these thoughts and sighed, "Yes, you have to learn a little too." ”

At two o'clock the next day, the bell rang in the temple. Yue Yao hurriedly got up from the bed when she heard the bell, and hurriedly shouted: "Oh no, I have to do morning class......" The sound of the morning class bell was so deep in Yue Yao's impression that Yue Yao thought that she was back in the past.

Hua Bud hurriedly said: "Don't worry, girl, it's too late." ”

Yue Yao looked at it and looked at the room again. That's when I came to my senses. Yue Yao smiled bitterly, she didn't expect that she had only been on the mountain for a day, and she would fall into the past.

There wasn't much water in the kitchen, so Yueyao simply washed it up and started her morning class.

Hua Bud looked at her girl's pious appearance in a daze. I don't know that I think my girl is a nun

Hao's mother pulled the flower bud, and the flower bud was clever. Then he went out lightly with Hao's mother.

Yueying only felt that she had just squinted, and then turned her head and was woken up by the sound of the bell. After a while, the courtyard sounded the sound of small footsteps.

Yueying looked out the window, the sky was still gray, how could the opposite side already get up, which still didn't let people sleep.

Cai Qing also got up, and they couldn't get up on the other side, they were still lying on the bed, what was this like? Ke Caiqing went out for a while and came back with a very strange face, and said, "Girl, Hua Bud said that the third girl is doing morning class." I didn't expect the three girls to be so religious, but on the other hand, my own girl was still nested in bed and didn't get up, and the performance of the two was very different.

Cai Lan Nunu mouthed, and said with a sneer: "What kind of scriptures are you reciting early in the morning, and you are in a panic, and I don't know who these three girls are doing to show you?" Yesterday I was so tired that I still can't open my eyes.

Cai Qing hurriedly said: "Cai Lan, let's go fetch water." The kitchen ran out of water, and the breakfast was still waiting for water. "That's what they promised yesterday.

Cai Lan's face turned black at once. said: "Where can we pick the water?" Why don't you send a rough mother-in-law over? "If the mother-in-law who does the rough work comes, they don't have to suffer this sin. Cai Lan felt that the third girl did it on purpose, and it must be on purpose.

Cai Qing took Cai Lan out, and the small courtyard was two buckets and one flat pole. Pick a bucket of water. Picking Blue followed.

Hao's mother couldn't wait for two people, and yesterday Hao's mother came to fetch water. The water from the well was not far from their hearts. It was less than five minutes from their yard.

But more than a minute has not come back, Hao's mother can only go out to find them. I didn't think that as soon as I got out of the yard, I saw Cai Qing picking up water, Cai Lan following behind, walking with a limp, obviously sprained.

Hao's mother looked at the bucket with less than a third of the water. It's helpless. These two are really delicate. There is no hope for a full pick. But anyway, you have to pick a half-barrel for this.

Yue Yao did the morning class for half an hour, and it was already dawn by this time. Hua Bud brought water over and refreshed Yueyao.

After getting it right. Qiao Lan came over and said, "Wait a minute, the breakfast is not good yet." ”

Hua Bud pouted and said, "The girl doesn't know, Cai Lan broke her foot when she went to fetch water." Cai Qing is okay, but every time she can't pick up half a bucket of water, Hao's mother can't pick up the water herself. "Hao's mother is tall and the bucket is not big, but it's no problem. It's just that the buds are not happy, it's obvious that this blue picking is too lazy, otherwise you can twist your feet by picking a piece of water?

Yueyao didn't say anything, took the "Zizhi Tongjian" and looked at it in the house, and after a while, there was a light footstep outside, and she didn't have to think about it to know that it was Yueying coming.

Yue Yao put the book away, stood up and walked to the desk to write a word. Moonlight walked in. Yueying watched Yueyao copying scriptures. Surprised, he asked, "My sister is copying the scriptures so early in the morning?" Yueying couldn't help but reflect in her heart, whether she was too lazy compared to Yueyao.

Yueyao said softly, "I'm done with my morning class." Being idle is also idle, so I copy the scriptures. It's not that she's idle, but she doesn't want Yueying to see her reading leisurely.

Yueying's face was a little shy.

Yueyao didn't continue to talk about this topic, but talked about her morning class: "Eldest sister, I asked that little novice yesterday. The morning service of the temple is from the beginning of the second quarter of the hour to the end of the hour, and the evening service is from the beginning of the unitary time to the second quarter of the unitary hour. I'll start doing morning and evening classes with the sound of the temple bell today, should my eldest sister do the same?" Yueying was a little puzzled and asked, "What morning class and evening class?"

Yueyao explained that morning and evening classes are the "five lessons" that monks and nuns must memorize. Of course, the essence is to recite Buddhist scriptures.

Yueying understood and replied, "Okay, I'll be with my third sister in the evening class." "Although Yueying is squeamish, her attitude is still very correct.

Yue Yao shook her head: "As long as the master of the temple is willing, I want to do my homework with them." If these masters don't want to, she will do morning and evening classes in the dormitory. However, Yueyao didn't think about starting with Yueying, and Yueying was also in her own room.

Yueying felt that this was not good, but looking at Yueyao's expression, she didn't say anything.

Breakfast is good at two o'clock. Yueyao is nothing, Yueying's face is not good-looking, and her stomach will growl with hunger.

Yueyao and Yueying each have a bowl of noodles. Two eggs are placed in each bowl of noodles, as well as shiitake mushrooms and green vegetable leaves.

The moon smells very good. After taking a bite, he was surprised and said, "I didn't expect Hao's mother's noodles to be so delicious." "It's not delicious, it's just that Yueying is so hungry that she naturally eats everything delicious.

Hao's mother and the three maids ate millet porridge with salty lai. Cai Lan was in the house and the cat didn't come out. After Cai Qing finished eating, he sent one to the house.

Cai Lan dislikes it when he looks at it, this porridge is too ugly. Hao's mother is more dedicated to Yueyao and Yueying's eating, and as for porridge, she can eat it.

Cai Qing shook her head at Cai Lan and said, "If you don't eat, you won't have to eat, don't complain when you're hungry." "Cai Lan hadn't eaten until last night, and she was so hungry that she had to eat a small bowl unwillingly.

Cai Qing shook her head and went to the other side again, and when she walked in, she saw Hao's mother cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks with Hua Bud and Qiaolan. Cai Qing hesitated for a moment and said, "Third girl, Cai Lan's foot is broken, and she can't do anything." Cai Qing intuitively felt that the third girl was not so easy to talk to.

Yueyao looked at Yueying, and seeing that Yueying didn't speak, she sighed helplessly and asked, "Then when will she be okay?"

Cai Qing shook her head and replied, "I don't know." ”

Yue Yao said lightly: "Since she is so badly injured, let her rest well, the steward should arrive tomorrow, and let her go back to the house with the steward tomorrow." ”

Seeing that Yueying didn't speak, Cai Qing was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Third girl, Cai Lan's foot was just sprained, and it will be fine after resting for two or three days." Girl, don't let the blue go down the mountain. ”

Yueyao didn't have so much effort to entangle with a maid. He said politely: "She came to the mountain to serve the eldest sister, and now she sprained her foot just after doing a little thing, not only can she not serve people but also serve others, so it is also a burden to stay on the mountain so squeamish." It's better to go back sooner. ”

Cai Qing could only beg her girl: "Girl, you can't send Cai Lan back!" If Cai Lan was sent back because of his broken foot, the people in the mansion would definitely suspect that Cai Lan deliberately broke his foot and did not want to suffer on the mountain. The two girls were on the mountain, but she went back, not to prove that Cai Lan was more delicate than the girl, and how could she stay in the mansion at that time.

Yueying thought for a while and said, "Third sister, why don't you wait for the steward to come over tomorrow and let her send a rough mother-in-law over." ”

If it was really a broken foot, it wouldn't be embarrassing, and Yueyao wouldn't be so disgusted. Before Yueyao ate, she heard Hao's mother say that Cai Lan's foot was only twisted and not broken. This is not a grandma, just twist it in a blink of an eye, the foot will hurt the muscles and bones, the two situations are completely different. Now Cai Lan obviously wants Yueying to persuade her to let the mansion send her rough mother-in-law over, so that she doesn't have to do rough work in the future, this maid's abacus is very good.

Yue Yao said lightly: "I think I not only have to send the rough mother-in-law, but also the cook." So you have the best of both worlds. "Is this the one who came to the mountains to enjoy happiness, or to the mountains to endure hardships?

Cai Qing's heart chuckled.

Yueying's eyes were bright, although she had never eaten the cook's food, but she heard that the cook's skills were quite good. However, Yueying has a strong self-esteem, although she has this idea in her heart, but she will never mention it.

Yue Yao said coldly: "Now the house is very tense, where can two more people live?" You can't let them lay on the floor, can you? There are no earth dragons here, and you can't freeze to death if you sleep on the ground. ”

Yueying's face turned red, and if she hadn't forced the house, she would have been able to live in it. Now that she's here, she's occupying two more rooms, and she's not crowded. Yueyao was ridiculing her.

Yue Yao's face was too lazy to be round, and she said unhappily: "If she doesn't get better today, she will go back to the house with the steward tomorrow." Oh. That's right. Eldest sister. I need to be quiet when I am copying the scriptures, and I am not used to being noisy outside. You'll talk to your maid later. "Yueyao didn't mean to make things difficult, but she did have such a habit, so the maids and women in Lanxi Courtyard walked very quietly.

Yueying said awkwardly, "Okay." "The third sister really didn't give her any face.

Cai Lan got this, the news, full of anger. But the situation is stronger than you, she can only compromise, twist her feet and come out to clean the yard, Cai Qing carries water alone.

Ruolan thought about what Ma Peng said yesterday, and let people summon early summer.

Chu Xia was nervous, she didn't expect that the eldest young lady would be so entrapmentary. Although the eldest young lady took her back, she did not treat herself badly in terms of food and clothing, but the eldest young master never entered his room, and only yesterday did he have the courage to go to see the eldest young master. Early Summer didn't know how the young lady would punish herself.

In early summer, she even thought of the worst outcome, the only thing she didn't expect was that Zhuang Ruolan would marry her, and this news was like a bolt from the blue for early summer. In early summer, he knelt down and kowtowed to Zhuang Ruolan, and begged: "Young lady, please be gracious to the young lady, the slave wants to serve the eldest young master for the rest of her life, and beg the young lady to be gracious." ”

Ruolan asked with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "So you don't want to go out?" "If you want to marry someone, you have to be willing, and she doesn't do anything coercive.

In early summer, she was naturally reluctant to go out, and even if a broken person like her got married, she would definitely not be able to marry a good family, and she might have to run for three meals a day. It's better to be in the mansion, at least you don't have to worry about food and clothing in the mansion.

Ruolan didn't force her, so she had to say, "Tell me when you want to go out." After saying that, he was impatient to deal with the early summer, and let her go down.

Caiyi thought for a while and said, "Girl, didn't you really send her out?" Leaving such a person by your side is always a disaster. ”

Ruolan chuckled: "Let it go, she doesn't want to go out and let her stay." Ruolan doesn't believe that Ma Peng can not take a concubine for the rest of his life, since this is the case, it is better to leave the early summer in the backyard. In early summer, the maid was born. She couldn't turn over any wind and waves in her hands, and there was early summer in the yard, and she wouldn't be criticized outside. Caiyi nodded.

Caiyi nodded.
