3. The wind and rain are settled in the land of falling leaves

Three days have passed, Sun Yao's spirit has also improved a lot, she asked Dongling to comb her a simple and neat hairstyle, change into neat clothes, abandon the long skirt of the previous days, and take a look at the bronze mirror, heroic and cool, still quite satisfied.

"Dongling, dress me up like this in the future, it's good to be clean and neat."

"Miss, this is not good. Today we are going to the temple to make a vow, there is a long mountain road to walk, naturally we need to be a little sharper, but in the future, this kind of dress will still be rare, otherwise we will lose our identity. ”

Sun Yao smiled and walked out, but Dongling suddenly blocked her way.

"Miss, Mother Rong hasn't made breakfast yet."

"Dongling, don't make such a fuss, although you call me a big lady, but I'm different from other big misses."

Dongling lowered her eyes gloomily and was silent, Sun Yao patted her shoulder and opened the door.

Sky! It turns out that I, the eldest lady, should be so sad.

Sun Yao turned around and finally recovered.

Anyway, she is the eldest lady of the Sun family, one of the three major families in Daming Town, and after her father died, she ended up in such a field.

Of the three grass and wood houses, the one on the right side is the largest, mostly made of wood, which is relatively good, at least sheltering from the wind and rain, it is the one where Sun Yao lives. The middle one seems to be the residence of Rong Ma and Dongling, and it is estimated that it also serves as a warehouse. But it's a little dilapidated, and the windows can't be closed, but fortunately it's early summer. The room on the far left should be the kitchen, where Rong's mother was cooking, and she didn't notice Sun Yao at this time.

The courtyard wall is an earthen wall more than one meter high, covered with wild grasses and wild flowers, the courtyard gate is a wooden gate composed of several pieces of wood, dilapidated and old, at this moment there is a young man sitting on the edge of the courtyard gate, holding a grass in his hand, and a big yellow dog lying at his feet.

The big yellow dog had been staring at Sun Yao just now, and now when he saw Sun Yao looking at it, he jumped up and pounced on Sun Yao, startling her and dodging immediately. The big yellow dog jumped up to her, but only licked her hand, giving her a wonderful sense of familiarity.

The boy walked over and bowed.

"Miss."

Sun Yao nodded, and the young man pulled the big yellow dog and sat down by the courtyard gate again, as if nothing had happened just now.

Rong's mother was shocked and walked out.

"Miss, you're all right, thank goodness. After a while, Miss Lao went to Hanshan Temple, saw Master Zen Lonely, and asked him to take another look, so as not to leave the root of the disease. ”

"I see, Mommy Rong."

Rong's mother nodded, went into the kitchen, and glanced at the young man when she turned around.

Sun Yao walked to the young man's side, squatted down, and stroked the big yellow dog. The boy immediately stood up, but there was no trace of panic.

Sun Yao didn't know about this young man, at least Dongling hadn't mentioned it, so naturally she couldn't speak rashly, just at this time, Xiao Zhengtai walked in, and he was followed by a maidservant.

The maid looked good at Zhou Zheng, but there was an evil aura between her eyebrows and eyes, and her chin was slightly raised, obviously not waiting to see Sun Yao and the others, thinking of her own situation, Sun Yao's heart was clear.

Sun Yao took Wen Zheng's hand and walked to his room, but the maid was in a hurry.

"Third Young Master, the head of the family is still waiting for you to go back!"

"Xiyun, you go back first, I have breakfast with my sister, and I'll go back immediately."

"The slave doesn't dare, the slave and the maid are waiting for the young master here."

Wen Zheng nodded and ignored her. Sun Yao glanced back at her and found that Xi Yun was just looking at the courtyard with disgust, obviously not planning to come in.

Sun Yao pulled Wen Zheng to sit down and smiled at him.

"Wenzheng, it's not good for you to run here every day."

"It's really boring to stay at home, Wenzheng misses his sister. I heard that my sister is going to Hanshan Temple today, so why don't you take me with you. ”

"I'm just going to make a vow, not to play, next time."

Seeing that Wen Zheng was dissatisfied, Sun Yao continued:

"In a few days, Sun Wenxuan will think about how to send me away, you are my sister's internal response, or stay at home more, my sister needs your help."

"What does my sister need me to do?"

"Not yet, you just stay at home. Also, are there people you trust among your subordinates? ”

Sun Yao asked and felt that it was inappropriate, Wenzheng was only nine years old, and I am afraid that he hadn't even figured out the trust itself.

"This, naturally not, the people who serve me are all selected by the eldest lady, I usually dare not say anything in front of them. In the past, there were sisters, Dongling, Rong's mother, and Qianfan, but now, when I returned to Sun's house, I basically didn't say a word. ”

No wonder he came over every day, but it turned out that there was no one to talk to, and it was really embarrassing for him, suddenly, Sun Yao thought of something.

"Qianfan is the boy at the gate of the courtyard, right?"

"Exactly, he's Rong's mother's son, and he doesn't like to talk, but I like to play with him very much."

Sun Yao nodded and did not speak.

There was a sound, but it was Dongling who came over with breakfast, Sun Yao and Wenzheng finished eating, and sent Wenzheng out, leaving Qianfan to look after the house, and a group of three went to Hanshan Temple.

Sun Yao thought that Hanshan Temple was the Hanshan Temple in "Fengqiao Night Park", but in fact it was not, and the customs of Daming Town did not seem to have anything to do with those. The mountain where Hanshan Temple is located is just a mountain ten miles away from the town, and no one knows why this temple is called Hanshan Temple and not Queshan Temple.

Bird Mountain is not high, compared to the mountains that Sun Yao went to before, Bird Mountain is really a big deal.

Sun Yao stood at the foot of the mountain, looking at the stairs that slowly went up, about this mountain is only one hundred and ten meters, and Hanshan Temple is close to the highest place, and it is enough to reach the top in an hour.

When Sun Yao came, she took a carriage, a typical young lady, but her carriage was not as luxurious as others, Sun Yao saw a few luxurious carriages passing by, she didn't care, but Dongling said it without saltiness.

"With our young lady's identity, whose carriage in Daming Town can compare, now it is good, such a plain carriage is also thanks to the eldest young master."

"Okay, Dongling, why bother to worry about this, the eldest young master will officially take over as the head of the family in two days, I don't know what will happen." Rong's mother said worriedly.

However, if there is no carriage on that ten-mile road, it will indeed be difficult. Sun Yao had her own plans and did not pick up Dongling's words. Now standing at the foot of the mountain, I am in a good mood, and the summer scenery of this mountain is good.

"Dongling, you are watching the carriage at the foot of the mountain, this is our most valuable belongings." Mother Rong couldn't help but lament that when the old master was still there, why did she fall into such a field.

"Mother Rong, don't be sentimental, it's okay for the eldest lady, we can also rely on it. Speaking of which, thanks to the young master cousin, otherwise the eldest young master of this carriage would have driven us out alive. ”

Sun Yao didn't speak, but he was shocked in his heart, it seems that this Sun Wenxuan really doesn't have much to himself.

At that moment, Sun Yao and Rong Ma went to the mountain, and after walking for a while, Rong Ma looked back and saw that it was far away, so she stepped up a few steps and walked to Sun Yao's side.

"Miss, it's not that Mother Rong is talkative, although her daughter's family will marry after all, and she can't inherit the family property, but the eldest young master bullies you so much, it seems that he doesn't even want to give you that dowry, after all, you are only fifteen, and now you don't have a good family, you still have to live this life."

Sun Yao was stunned for a moment, and then thought of a key question, no wonder she always felt that something was wrong, it turned out to be age! What she saw was that she was fifteen years old, which was naturally different from the previous approaching thirty years old, and now she finally figured it out. She didn't feel relieved, it turned out that she was rejuvenated, which felt really good.

"Miss?"

Sun Yao looked up and saw Rong's mother with a surprised expression.

"Mom Rong, I understand what you say, I have my own plans."

"That's good, no matter what, you deserve it, it's indispensable."

"I know." Sun Yao actually didn't know, but she was full of confidence, she didn't believe that she couldn't even win an ancient person. What's more, as the eldest lady of the Sun family, she deserves something.

"Miss, in this matter, you can't always tolerate it everywhere like before."

It seems that I have been bullied a lot before, but I don't know how far it has been.

"Mother Rong, I see that you have been guarding this basket tightly, what treasures are there?" Sun Yao looked at the small bamboo basket that Rong's mother was guarding and said with a smile.

"This is just a flower seedling."

Sun Yao nodded, although she didn't believe it, but it was inconvenient to ask more. According to Wenzheng, Rong's mother should not harm herself, and since she doesn't want to say it, she won't pursue it.

"Miss, this Queshan is also one of the Sun family's industries, no matter what, we must fight for it."

"You mean, Bird Mountain is important, why?"

"Miss, this is the second lady's entrustment before her death, as for the reason, you will know soon. There are more than 100 acres of fertile land and thousands of woodlands in a radius of 100 miles, which was the reward of the imperial court that year. In the past, the second lady married into the Sun family, and the head of the family took the entire Que Mountain as a dowry. Therefore, if the eldest lady wants Queshan alone as a dowry in the future, it should be safer. ”

"I see, try your best."

"No, Miss, you don't understand, it's not as much as possible, it's certain!"

"Okay."

Although Sun Yao was puzzled, she didn't ask in detail, and she wouldn't say it easily when she thought about it. Obviously, compared with the Sun family's property, Qishan is only a drop in the bucket, but if she wants to come smoothly, I'm afraid it will not be easy, she needs to think about it. What's more, she doesn't know what the situation of the Sun family is like now, and all she knows is the relay of others, especially from civil politics. After all, he is a child, accustomed to judging by his own likes and dislikes, and the actual situation is obviously much more complicated. No matter what, you always have to go to Sun's house to have a look. At that moment, Sun Yao decided to go to Sun's house before the head of the family took over to see what the situation was.

Sun Yao glanced at Rong Ma, who obviously knew that she was too eager, and she stopped talking at the moment, and Hanshan Temple was already close at hand.

"It's here, it's quick, let's go in."
