Shu E suddenly thought of living in Aunt Wen's Chunfeng Building, and on some summer nights, she saw that on both sides of the road in the city, someone drew a circle to burn paper money. Even one night, I saw Aunt Wen go out with a bag of paper money. And when I arrived at Caofu, I really didn't see the sacrifice of the Zhongyuan Festival again.

"There are also those maids who have been sold into the house, and there are deceased relatives in the family, so they privately give some scattered silver to the maids, maids, and old mothers who have a family before and after the Midyear Festival, and ask them to go to the Bianhe River to put lotus lanterns." Lilac continued: "It's just that I have no father, no mother, no relatives and no reason, but I have never put a lamp for anyone. ”

Shu E's heart was sour, although her fate was bitter, she finally recognized her grandfather and knew the names of her parents, but Lilac was much worse. Shu'e took Lilac's hand and wanted to comfort, but she didn't know what to say.

Ding Xiang smiled faintly and said: "It's better if there is no sacrifice, you can still leave some thoughts, it's better than knowing that your relatives are gone." Then he asked, "Sun Niangzi, is this the same in the palace?" ”

"The emperor, the queen mother, and the queen will also go to the temple every year to worship, July is a small autumn, the crops are ripe, and the sacrifice is also to inform the ancestors of this year's harvest, and will pray for good weather and peace for the country and the people. The imperial concubine believed in Buddhism, and every year during the Midyear Festival, she would go to the Guanyin Monastery to participate in the Bon Festival. Hua Fu said: "As for putting lotus lanterns, there are palace people who go to the easternmost part of the garden where the Huimin River flows out of Yujin Garden to put lanterns. The place where the people who served in the palace lived, was actually outside the garden. On the night of the days before the Midyear Festival, there are the most people putting on the lanterns. After the fifteenth day, the ghost gate will be closed, and it will be useless to put on the lamp. Burning paper money is never possible. Occasionally, a new little palace maid burned paper money and violated the palace rules, without exception, they were all thrown out of the palace after being scolded by the cane. ”

Lilac pursed her mouth and said, "It's just that I miss my relatives, and many of the rules in the palace are unkind." ”

Hua Fu said: "If the girl's words are heard by others, it will inevitably be a surprise." If you meet an elderly grandmother in the palace, you will be punished for kneeling and punishing you, and if it is serious, you will be punished for doing rough work. ”

Lilac stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "You don't have to let others hear it, you have already been counted." If I change to my former grandson, it will be enough for me. ”

If it is a few days, the Zhongyuan Festival is nearly a day, and gradually the first day is coming. More and more people have seen Yurong, and the rumors in the palace are getting stronger and stronger.

Yu Rong's figure left with the front feet of Shi Shiran from the surrounding flowers, and the back feet were played by the sound of Gong Hou, Zheng Zheng Cong, such as knocking thin ice, such as crushing jade.

Shu E stood in the small pavilion on the edge of the secluded fence for days, looking at the river in a daze.

"Madame looks like she's waiting for something." Hua Fu took a cup of tea with ice beads and placed it on the stone table.

"For six or seven days, there was no movement at all. Tomorrow is the Midyear Festival. Shu E's eyebrows frowned slightly.

Hua Fu said softly: "Could it be that in Madame's heart, after all, there is still a trace of hope for Yang Jieyu?" ”

"Even if you don't think about the master-servant relationship for many years, she killed someone with her own hands, how can she not have a little remorse in her heart?" Shu'e looked back at Huafu.

Hua Fu sighed lightly: "Lilac is also inconvenient to go over there from time to time, and I don't see any movement. Perhaps, Yurong will know the way. ”

Shu E said happily: "Yes, why did you forget Yurong." She lingered there the most. ”

When we meet again, we are still dressed in white.

Yurong saw that Shu E seemed to hesitate in her steps, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Yufu told me that Xiaoqing didn't take me this time." Besides, you have the sachet that Sister Yufu made for you......"

Yu Rong was saying with a smile, and suddenly said "Huh" in surprise, and then laughed again: "Yes, then Yang Jieyu also framed you for the sake of the sachet." Naturally, you won't be carrying it with you anymore. As he spoke, he glanced seriously at Shu'e's face and said with a smile: "I heard that you won that time, didn't you?" ”

Compared to what she saw at the end of the forest that morning, Yurong didn't show much haggard and sadness. After all, Yu Rong knew that Supervisor Ye was her biological father, and he was so kind to her and so protective, presumably Yu Rong should be more happy in her heart, Shu E thought so.

Shu E smiled slightly and said, "I just haven't done anything like that, so after being framed, justice gave me a clean slate." How to say win or lose. ”

Yu Rong thought about it sideways, and said with a smile: "You are right, the person who wins the most is still Yang Meiren." ”

Shu E heard her mention the title of beauty, and immediately understood what Yurong meant. On the day of the flower living together, Yang Meiren was promoted to Yang Jieyu, no matter what the reason. Shu E was secretly surprised when she heard Yu Rong's words, Yu Rong looked so naïve, but she said that thing so simply and so thoroughly and explicitly.

Shu E hurriedly said: "What else does the girl mention about the old titles?" ”

Yu Rong looked at Shu E's alert appearance, was stunned for a moment, and laughed crisply: "Those little gossips praised Mrs. Yong'an in front of me for how calm and indifferent she was in the flower house that day, it seems that most of them are exaggerated rumors." I've met Mrs. Yongan twice, how do I see her panicked every time? ”

Shu E smiled slightly, thinking that this girl really deserved the word "arrogance" as Hua Fu said.

"I came to the girl to ask what was going on in the flower house in the past two days." Shu E said.

"Then tell me first, do you do this to take revenge for the false accusations that Hua Xiangju was framed that day, or is it really for a servant girl you don't know?" Yu Rong's white jade-like slender hand gently stroked the ends of the hair hanging down on her shoulders, and asked with flashing eyes.

"I don't know what Lu Dao Sun Niangzi told you, I can only tell you that I did this so that no one would suffer from her." Shu E said seriously.

【Note】Guanyin Temple: The temple was founded in the period of the Later Han Dynasty (948~950 years) in the Five Dynasties period, formerly known as the Guanyin Temple, and has a history of more than 1,000 years. The founder of the temple is the grim master who left the name "The Biography of the Song High Monks". The temple was at its peak in the Northern Song Dynasty, and was once promoted by the Buddhist community as the first Zen temple in Tokyo, which can be described as a flourishing time. After the death of Master Yan Jun, Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, in order to commemorate the master's unique style, changed the Zen Temple to the ancient Guanyin Temple, in order to keep the ancient style of the temple founded by the master, and this move also left a good story for the history of Buddhism. After the Northern Song Dynasty, the temple gradually declined, Ming Hongwu 20 years (1388), Kaifeng famous nun Yiguo Zen Master, had to be rebuilt, lasted several years, made the temple greatly prosperous. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, due to the flooding of the Yellow River, the monastery was severely damaged. Liu Chang, a famous scholar in the early Qing Dynasty, could not bear the ancient temple created by the former sages, and vowed to rebuild, because it worshiped the white-clothed Guanyin in the temple, so the Yi Temple was called "Baiyi Pavilion" again.
