"Haha, I see. The younger sister thanked the two brothers for her sister, her wife, and her grandmother. The two brothers have a heart! ”

Huo Feibai smiled, stepped forward and said, "It turns out that the two princes have also sent flowers...... This time it was the two of us, because we saw that there were green peonies flowing down from the stream, presumably left by the treasures, thinking that this rare peony is only in his temple, and the next time I look at it, I am afraid that it will be a year to wait, so I ordered someone to cut a few and send it over for you to play and enjoy! ”

The monk saluted with one hand, his eyes looked at Huo Feibai and Hu Yang, and he didn't say anything.

"Hey, why did another peony come over, and this time the peony was sent by the two princes?" Song Xi'er walked ahead, and when she saw the peony, she couldn't help but step forward and ask.

As he spoke, Huo Feibai and Hu Yang waited four or five steps away for Mrs. Song and the others all the way back to the small courtyard, and there was a monk standing at the gate of the courtyard, holding a glass bottle in his hand...... The purple and red flower bulbs in the bottle are extremely gorgeous, and it is actually a bouquet of late-blooming peony flowers.

Hu Yang smiled and arched his hand: "Sister Xi'er misunderstood her brothers this time. Today, my brothers went to this Baoguang Temple, but they were on an errand, and they originally wanted to return to the capital after completing their errands, but suddenly heard that the old lady came with her sister, how could the two of us not come and ask for a peace and then go, this is not all the way to this side. ”

"Really?" Song Xi'er questioned a little disbelief, and then glared and said, "You don't tell the truth, obviously it's not a day off, don't you also come to Baoguang Temple, where are you doing any errands." ”

Huo Feibai looked at Song Xi'er with a smile, as if he was looking at his own sister, and doted and connived: "Sister Xi'er has wronged her brothers this time." The brothers sent an errand a few days ago, and they had to go to the yamen early every day to run errands, where would they have time to go out of Beijing freely! ”

It can be seen that Song Xi'er is also familiar with Huo Feibai and Hu Yang, so he stepped forward with Man'er and said with a smile: "Brother Feibai and Brother Yang haven't been to my house for a long time, but they are free to go out of Beijing again?" ”

Old Madam Song shook her head with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay, after a long time, you will naturally know everything." ”

Hearing Old Madam Song say this, Qiu Chen was slightly surprised, with a faint smile on his face, and nodded slightly: "I didn't know it all when I first arrived in the capital!" ”

As she spoke, Old Madam Song turned her head to Qiu Chen and smiled, "We are the only ones who may not know them...... These two are Fei Bai, the eldest son of the Governor of Huo Dadu of Liaodi, and Hu Yang, the eldest son of the Governor of Nuergan. Their fathers had studied with my master for two years, and they were both old apprentices...... Hehe, I grew up in Beijing without my parents since I was a child, and I look lazy and naughty, but in fact, I am two benevolent children! ”

Old Madam Song narrowed her eyes slightly, and then smiled: "Which one is it...... It turned out to be you two children! ”

Among the female dependents, the wives of two petty officials took their families and met Qiu Chen and others, and bowed their knees to greet them from afar. Qiu Chen and Mrs. Wang both bowed their heads. After taking two more steps, after crossing the group of female dependents, Huo Feibai and Hu Yang had already come around to this side, standing six or seven steps apart, and saluting respectfully: "I've seen the old lady!" I've seen Mrs. Wang! ”

She thought to herself, the group had already walked down the mountain. The guards were separated, and the group of female dependents and Huo and Hu were all close to each other.

However, she also had some doubts in her heart, when she read the Di newspaper a few days ago, she saw that this year, Emperor Invesco was gracious, and these two were no longer idle and wandering at will, and they were all given positions in Beijing. Huo Feibai seems to have served as a young secretary in Taifu Temple, and Hu Yang recognized a temple in Taichang Temple...... One is the yamen who is responsible for the affairs of the chariots and horses, and the other is the yamen who is responsible for the rituals of the temple. The eighth day of the fourth month is not the day of rest, how did these two people go out of the city and run to Baoguang Temple?

Slightly surprised, Qiu Chen didn't pay much attention to it. Not to mention that there are many guards by her side today, as well as Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Song as companions, how can those two people have some scruples.

She has seen these two people, one is Huo Feibai, the eldest son of the governor of Liaodi, and the other is Hu Yang, the son of the governor of Nu'ergan!

After walking a few more steps, Qiu Chen suddenly remembered who these two people were.

One of these two is tall and burly, with broad shoulders and broad shoulders, and a well-built body; The other is slender but implies strength. If a strong man is a lion or a tiger, the other is a leopard that is smaller but no less dangerous.

Old Madam Song smiled silently, but Qiu Chen's gaze was slightly better than the two of them, and, more importantly, she was relatively familiar with King Yong and King Fu, especially King Yong, who could see the laziness of his body from a long distance...... The two people under the mountain are slender and not bad, but they obviously do not have the lazy grace of King Yong and King Fu, some are blunt, or rather, some hidden and incomplete wildness, which cannot be covered by a gorgeous brocade robe and a golden crown and jade belt.

After she said this, Mrs. Wang also saw some clues, nodded and agreed: "The old lady has a good eye, it's really like this." I don't want you to say it, I just feel awkward, but I don't think of where it is! ”

Old Madam Song was much calmer, squinted her eyes for a moment and said: "I don't look like it, those women's clothes and ornaments look gorgeous and bright, but they are more flashy and less charming, and what they wear is definitely not comparable to what is made inside." ”

Mrs. Wang said in a low voice: "Those two are King Yongwang Fuwang?" Look at the women...... Could it be that the two princes are in the house? ”

Because when I was eating the food just now, the person who gave the peony peony said that it was King Yong who was playing in the temple, and at this time, I saw two young men who were dressed in wealth and extraordinary momentum from afar, and I inevitably thought of those two people.

Walking to the bottom of the mountain, I saw the intersection of the mountain trail blocked by the guards of the three prefectures, there were already some people waiting, thinking that they all wanted to go up the mountain to release their lives, and the tourists who were temporarily blocked here could see most of them from afar, and there were also two tall and jade sons and brothers standing not far from the outside of the crowd, shaking the folding fan and talking, with a leisurely attitude.

Qiu Chen didn't take the fright of this moment to heart, but the others were more and more careful to protect her mother and son in the middle, and Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Song just meant that two pots were released, so they urged everyone to release all the fish they brought, and then went down the mountain.

After Qiu Chen released his own, he hugged Brother Yun again, and the mother and son carried a small fish and released it into the water staggeringly...... When he got up, Qiu Chen couldn't support and balance his body because he was holding Brother Yun with one hand, so he could only use his other hand to support the stone wall two steps away...... In the exclamation, Qiu Chen stood firm on the stone wall, but felt a burning pain on his wrist, looked down, and saw that the green peony on his wrist hung up the line, fluttering and falling into the water, and then turned with the whirlpool, entered the bluestone slab, and after a while, it floated out from the other end of the bluestone slab with the current, drifting all the way away.

Because the current here is turbulent, but the current is not deep, all the big fish are released. Generally, only the ladies and ladies are used to hold one hand, and the mothers-in-law vigorously push down the bucket containing the live fish and release it. Today, a few children are enthusiastic about doing it themselves, and they refuse to use their mothers-in-law to help. Qiu Chen and Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Song, did not object, and asked for a small pot with fish and released them separately.

Qiu Chen and his entourage want to release them, naturally they don't need to worry about this themselves, the guards have already used large wooden barrels to go to the lake and river to collect live fish and turtles that have been caught by fishermen, and transport them here for the release of the ladies and ladies.

Generally, the release pond is released, there are monks in the temple to prepare fish or fish, turtles, but Baoguang Temple is not responsible for preparing this, all the things released are brought by the tourists themselves, because there is no place to sell fish nearby, the fish are brought from afar to release, itself is not an easy task. In order to get a good lottery, there is no one who is not sure to run so far with the fish, in case the fish dies on the road, the jackpot will be broken, but it is not good. Therefore, those who can come here to release the animals are either rich or expensive, or they are really people with hearts.

Qiu Chen came back to his senses, smiled gratefully at Mrs. Song, grabbed Mrs. Song's arm, took an umbrella from the girl's hand and held it personally, while slowly walking towards the big bluestone slab stretched out in front of him.

Qiu Chen subconsciously paused, and Old Madam Song patted her hand and smiled: "Don't be afraid, it's just that the momentum is scary, in fact, it's still far away from the waterfall, let's hold an umbrella again, we won't really get wet with water!" ”

Qiu Chen and the three of them took in their feelings, looked at each other and smiled, supported each other, raised their feet and stepped up the steps, and after bypassing a boulder that seemed to fall from the sky, the rumbling sound of water and the fine wet water vapor came together.

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Song smiled and bowed their heads, and were about to continue to sigh for a few words, when they heard Song Xi'er call loudly: "Grandmother, madam, sister, you hurry up, come up, we are all ready, just wait for you to come up and release you!" ”

Qiu Chen subconsciously raised his hand to wipe his sweat, and forced a smile: "It's really extraordinary...... It's really true that those with great ambitions can't chant it. ”

Slandering, I listened to Mrs. Wang's slow recitation: "Is Jin Lin a thing in the pool, and he will turn into a dragon when he encounters a storm...... It's a pity that Grandpa Tai's poem is incomplete, and only these two sentences are left...... But it's enough to break the earth! ”

Qiu Chen muttered with black lines on his head, it sounded like that grandfather had stolen an entire poem from "Fengyun"!

Sure enough, Mrs. Song had a layer of reverence on her face, and sighed: "It is said that the founding emperor was mostly a horseback emperor and did not understand literature and ink, but the great grandfather of this dynasty was both civil and military, and he was martial and civil. This 'Golden Scale Pool' is a poem from Grandpa's grandfather...... It really swallowed mountains and rivers and shook the five mountains...... Its momentum is extraordinary, unparalleled! ”

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Song both showed happy expressions when they heard this, only Qiu Chen almost spurted blood. This golden scale pool, I want to know that it is transformed from 'Jin Lin' is not a thing in the pool, and it will turn into a dragon when it encounters wind and clouds. 's sentence. But that sentence is not an ancient poem, but a sentence from the modern fantasy novel Huang Yi's novel "Fengyun". Looking at this name, Qiu Chen probably guessed that this 'Golden Scale Pool' should also have a history.

"It's here, it's here, the Golden Scale Pool is where we released it!" Song Xi'er also forgot about her tiredness and shouted happily.

"Golden Scale Pool!" Man'er suddenly shouted in front of him!

Hearing Qiu Chen say this, the two of them just smiled with relief and continued to walk up slowly.

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Song are both ordinary women, they have never practiced kung fu, and they are not like Qiu Chen who have seen so many modern ancient small talk books, and they don't know much about them.

Qiu Chen followed behind, looked at Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Song and said with a smile: "These three children, who can also hold hands when they go up the mountain, are really close." ”

Wang Jingshu didn't know why, smiled softly and put her hand into Man'er's little hand, but she felt that the other party's small soft hand held hers, which made her feel a lot easier...... Looking at Song Xi'er again, she didn't complain, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised, she knew that Man'er practiced to strengthen her body, but in her mind, it was just to strengthen her body. Now it seems that Man'er looks inconspicuous, is he actually a kung fu master? This is a person dragging the two of them up the mountain, and it is very easy and casual.

Although she is not yet eight years old, she is tall and tall, already one meter four, which can reach the tips of Song Xi'er's ears. She didn't say anything, stepped forward and grabbed Song Xi'er's hand, inconspicuously supported Song Xi'er's arm, let most of her body share the weight, and stretched out her other hand towards Wang Jingshu: "Let's hold hands!" ”

When Man'er was three years old, he was abducted out by Old Man Mu and almost walked through most of the territory of the Ming Kingdom, compared to those rarely visited mountains and jungles in the southwest, this trail in Baoguang Temple is really nothing.

"Alas, it's just a release pond, built so far away...... It's all deep in the mountains! Song Xi'er walked a little out of breath, stopped and fanned the wind with a handkerchief, and complained while looking at the path hidden in the rocky jungle.

The bluestone path is silent and leisurely, from time to time there are birds chirping and singing in the branches, and the sound of running water seems to have been echoing in the ears, it seems to be getting closer and closer, close in front of you, but you have only heard its sound and have not seen its shadow.

The mountain path is narrow, but it is not difficult to walk, the guards automatically fall behind to guard, Man'er and Song Xi'er Wang Jingshu walked in front, Qiu Chen and Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Song were in the center, Mama Wang held Brother Yun and the girl and followed closely behind Qiu Chen, the girls and mother-in-law were behind, and then there were the guards who were guarding all the way.

The release pond is located on the hillside behind the temple, and after coming out of the small courtyard and bypassing a guest house, you can see a bluestone paved path winding up the mountain. The flowers and trees on both sides are verdant, and the flowers are gorgeous, and the scenery is prosperous in late spring.

There are many officials and relatives who come out to worship the Buddha on the eighth day of April, and these ladies and ladies are delicate and can't bear to rush too bumpy, so they are like Qiu Chen and them, and they have set a resting place in the temple, and stay in the guest room at the back of the temple for one night at night. Therefore, after Qiu Chen and his party walked out, there was a girl and a woman around them, and there were guards around them, and ordinary people couldn't get close, but in the distance, they could still see the ladies and ladies in groups of three and two, and they were all walking around slowly and leisurely with the girl's mother-in-law guards.

It's just that, because the location of the Baoguang Temple is a little far away from the capital, and because it is a temple, a large area of land around it belongs to the temple, there is no common shop outside the mountain gate of the temple, the road is quiet and quiet, if it is not in the temple with fasting, there is no place to play a sharp child all the way out, and there is no place to rest, yes, the average person comes to the Baoguang Temple at most to have lunch and return early, only in the Baoguang Temple to set the fine house, the people who can stay overnight, can calm down, In the afternoon, after the tourists are less, you can enjoy walking around in a relaxed and relaxed manner.

As they spoke, the group quickly arrived at the edge of the release pool. There are two springs on the mountain behind this Baoguang Temple, the spring water flows out and flows into a small stream all the way down, after a steep mountain cliff forms a waterfall and flows down, it accumulates into a half-acre size pool, after the pool water overflows, it forms a mountain stream again and goes down. Under the waterfall above this pool of water, I don't know whether it is natural and unique, or ingenuity, a huge bluestone slab is hidden on it, such as a pedal and a stone bridge, people want to release the fish to walk to this bluestone slab with an umbrella, put the fish to be released into the stream, let them go downstream, all the way to the big river, and even the sea in those vast environments to wander freely. Because the topography of this release pond is unique, the released fish have the implication of diving into the sea and having a broad future, not only the ladies and ladies who are good like to come here to release the animals, but also those students who enter Beijing to catch the exam, and often invite each other to release a few carps, which means 'carp jumping over the dragon gate', to pray for another leap in their lives.

Seeing her like this, Qiu Chen's feeling of guilt deepened, but he could only hide it in his heart and couldn't show it.

Mrs. Wang was pleased: "That's not the case, so I don't think it's inappropriate at all." …… You don't have to go to your heart, you also know Jingshu's temperament, she can see better than me, it's nothing, and you don't have to worry about her! The latter sentence was specially said to Qiu Chen.

Old Madam Song also said: "Well, I also heard this. Really speaking, this little thing in front of her is really nothing, this woman married into her mother-in-law's family, no matter how gentle and generous her family is, she has become a person, and she can't do the willful things of her little daughter, and she has to think twice about what she should do or not...... In front of your own mother-in-law, it is a blessing to stay for an extra day. Speaking of which, this is not only not a bad thing, but it is a blessing for Jingshu girl. Without this statement, it is time to take care of her marriage and marry when she is old, and now that she has this statement, it is just right for Jingshu to enjoy two more years of happiness! ”

Qiu Chen looked back at Mrs. Song, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, turned around, and smiled at Mrs. Wang: "I also have children, and I am also a mother, and I can understand Madame's reluctant thoughts...... This marriage is really three points of manpower and seven points of providence, Sister Jingshu will stay at home for two more years at this time, but the marriage has not yet arrived, and after this hurdle, the marriage has arrived, and it will come naturally, and there will only be good things in the future, and it will be smooth and proper for a lifetime. Didn't the master say it just now, Sister Jingshu's hurdle has passed, and in the future, she will be blessed with deep blessings and good health. ”

Mrs. Wang held Qiu Chen's hand and patted it, and said with a smile: "Don't think about it so much...... What I just said to Shu'er was true, and I was really glad that she could stay with me for a few more years...... I have a total of two men and two women, and the three eldest ones have all left me, and now she is the only one left, and I am really reluctant to marry her...... I thought there was something wrong with her just when the stick came out, I was really scared at first, and when I knew that I was going to put off getting married for a few more years, I was really happy, and this sign was put on someone else's house to pick out the engagement of the son-in-law, which was naturally annoying, but it was just right for me, but it was really a good thing, and I was happy in my heart! ”

Qiu Chen did make arrangements before, but he arranged for someone to make an appointment with Master Faren, the presiding officer of Baoguang Temple, in advance, and asked him to help say a few words...... Unexpectedly, it didn't take Master Faren to come forward at all, and Wang Jingshu came up with such a stick, which can be regarded as the same thing. It saved her a lot of self-blame.

Qiu Chen has been quietly observing the changes in the expressions of Mrs. Wang's mother and daughter, and he has not even let go of the subtle changes in his eyes, seeing that the two of them are really open-minded and cheerful, and they really didn't hit the sign of that night's marriage, so he secretly sighed, smiled and pushed Wang Jingshu, watched her go to play with Song Xi'er Man'er, and then turned back to Mrs. Wang and said, "I didn't expect this to be the case today...... I'm really sorry for my wife and sister. ”

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and Mrs. Wang pushed the daughter who followed her: "Don't be confined to us, but also go to play with Xi'er Man'er, it is difficult to come out and be loose for a day...... The words on the sign don't matter much, my mother is reluctant to let you get married, this time it's worth it, with this word, I can also keep you by your side for a few more years. ”

Mrs. Song smiled and didn't speak, and Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "Xi'er is very good at being an aunt, I look like I've grown up all of a sudden since I became an aunt!" ”

Qiu Chen smiled and said: "Xi'er is a sensible person, I can rest assured that she looks at Man'er's naughty one!" ”

However, although she felt that her children were the best, she was still modest on the surface, Old Madam Song looked at Song Xi'er with a loving face, turned back to Mrs. Wang and Qiu Chen and said, "This girl makes me spoil me......"

Qiu Chen and Mrs. Song looked at the two children's joyful appearance, and no one felt that it was wrong, these two children were very ghostly, and they were so relaxed and lively in front of their own parents, and when they really came to outsiders, they were no worse than anyone when they should be demure and reserved.

Because the guards had beaten the front station before, they cleaned up and shielded the surrounding area of the release pond and the idle people along the way, yes, the ladies and ladies in this line were also relatively casual, Song Xi'er pulled the little girl Man'er and giggled, and saw the peony and peony flower pond in full bloom, and ran to the front, holding the flowers on his wrist to compare. Of course, the result of the comparison is naturally that the flowers they wear on their hands are slightly better, whether it is the quality or color, these carefully selected, expensive flowers, naturally than those raised in the big flower pond, at will for visitors to see the varieties much better.

The group packed up, and if they wanted to act, they were accompanied by each other, surrounded by all the girls and mothers-in-law, all the way out of the small courtyard, and walked to the release pool.
