CHAPTER XXII
During the meal, Gu's mother told He Yunling about the arrival of the distinguished guests in the nunnery that day, "...... I heard that it was the female dependant of the Zhenguo Mansion, and someone in the nunnery came to remind me not to walk around if it was okay, although most of the pilgrims outside were sent away...... But I heard that there are also men sent over from the Zhenguo Mansion, I asked someone to inquire about it, and I heard that I also live here, so let's not go out if we have nothing to do, I didn't have time to inquire in the morning, if I went out and bumped into a foreign man, it would not be good after all......"
Gu's mother and Qiushi sat at the lower table to eat, stopped the chopsticks at this time, and talked seriously to He Yunling, and He Yunling sat at the table, before He Yunling thought that everyone would sit at the same table and eat, but Gu's mother insisted that the master and servant were different, and she didn't agree with it, so she made two tables, one was on the table and the other was after class, and the people who sat there ate different meals were not the same.

"Mother Gu, it's very quiet here, where can I see anyone." Qiu Shi smiled, looking disapproving.
Gu's mother glanced at her, "If I have time, I have to tell you in particular, the girl is still young, and there are still many things that she doesn't understand, we all have to watch from the side, that is also our duty, some people outside, we don't know the roots, we should avoid some...... You went out this morning, did you run into anything? Or who you don't? ”
When asked about this, Qiu Shi glanced at He Yunling, and then said with a smile: "Where do you see someone, we just broke two plum blossoms on the side of the back mountain and came back...... Our girl is not an ignorant little lady, she casually talks to outsiders, girl, don't you say? ”
He Yunling tilted her head, a little puzzled: "Sister Qiushi, why did you forget so quickly?" Didn't we run into two people? I also talked to them, and it seems that I want to come over here to offer incense......"
Qiu Shi frowned slightly, she didn't expect He Yunling to pick up her stubble, during this time, she tried her best to follow He Yunling's wishes, what Gu's mother didn't let do, she would secretly cover her up, after these few days of hard work, I feel that the girl is much closer to herself, not like before, always sticking to Gu's mother, and listening to Gu's mother for everything.
Gu's mother was really surprised, and hurriedly asked, who are you seeing and how are you dressing? Is it male or female? And what did they say to each other? Finally, he asked Qiu Shilai, why didn't he tell the truth just now?
Qiu Shi hurriedly explained to her: "I'm also afraid that Gu's mother will blame, this is when I met in the plum garden behind, they were also folding plum blossoms, but they didn't say anything, and then we came back, Gu's mother, you also saw it, we didn't go out and come back for long, what else can we say?" As for dressing, it looks pretty good, and I don't know which family's son, it's the master and servant. ”
After listening to this, Gu's mother told Qiu Shi again, and knocked her a few words by the way, "Forget it this time, next time you should be vigilant yourself, although it is in the nunnery, it doesn't seem to be in any big danger, but people's hearts are separated from their stomachs." ”
Qiu Shi didn't say anything, lowered his head, and Gu's mother sandwiched the dishes with two chopsticks, and became low-browed, "It's a shame that Gu's mother reminded me in time next to me......"
He Yunling had already eaten a lot of food when they spoke, and she could still observe Qiu Shi by the way, and she didn't know if the look on her face changed too slowly, or if she was too fast, she saw impatience on her face, but what came out of her mouth was deferential words, so it seemed that this maid of her own was very interesting.
While I was eating, there was a commotion outside, and I could feel a lot of people walking outside.
Qiu Shi couldn't sit still, she said to Gu's mother, "Do you know what's going on outside?" I'll go out and take a look. ”
It just so happened that Gu's mother also had this idea, nodded and let her out.
After she went out, Gu's mother said to He Yunling: "Qiu Shi, this girl looks a little unstable like this, she still has an advantage, she is especially good at inquiring about news, and the situation in the house still needs her...... Girl, let's sit down first, I think there will be news from the outside soon......"
In the final analysis, he is also persuading He Yunling to wait patiently.
He Yunling didn't know what to say, and she really didn't think about going out to see.
After a while, Qiu Shi came back, and when he came in, he said: "Outside, the female dependents of the Zhenguo Mansion are releasing their lives, and they are walking in our courtyard with a group of pilgrims who are watching the excitement, so the sound is so loud." ”
"Release?" Gu's mother was a little surprised, "It's winter now, what can I do?" Are you sure you're from the Zhenguo Mansion? ”
"This can't be wrong, the teachers and wives all said so, and they are really releasing life, and the release is still swimming in the water, and I don't know if the streams and lakes outside are frozen, and the Duchess of Guo heard that she is very sincere, and she brought enough people to carry a few baskets of fish, all of which are alive and kicking, and she also brought the master who recites the scriptures in the nunnery to do some Dharma on the side......"
Mother Gu was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and finally she just sighed, "This big family is always different from ours, it's because I have less knowledge......"
Qiu Shi glanced at her and continued: "Of course it's different, when Zhenguo Gong is out on an expedition, his family always has to worry about it, I heard that this method is still done by many people, so that it can accumulate yin virtue...... It looks quite lively outside, and many people have gone over to join in the fun when they hear the movement......" She said to the end, and she had already fixed her eyes on He Yunling's body, with a look of encouragement on her face.
Mother Gu didn't wait for He Yunling to speak, so she said: "It's freezing this day, and it's close to the water's edge, what's so lively to make up for, the girl has to sleep for a while after eating, you forgot what I told you just now?" He said with a serious look on his face.
Qiu Shi shrunk his neck, but his eyes were still aimed at He Yunling, but he didn't dare to be so blatant.
Although He Yunling wanted to see some of them, but also considering the actual situation, it was really not good for this short arm and short leg to join in the fun, and it would not be cost-effective if she was knocked down by someone who was a little careless.
