On April 15, the weather is clear, the clouds are blue, the spring sun shines with dazzling golden light, Qingyin Temple is located on the top of Cuifeng Mountain at an altitude of more than 3,800 meters. www.biquge.info Although it is already spring, the snow has not completely melted, and the ancient trees of Cuiping Mountain, the temple of Qingyin Temple are covered with cedars and tall chestnut trees that do not lose their leaves in all seasons, and when the mountain wind blows, it still feels a little chilly. The spring cold is only in the morning and evening, when the sun is abundant in the afternoon, it is completely warm, and the wild rhododendrons and begonias in the mountains see the new green branches and leaves day after day, as well as the buds that emerge one by one under the branches and leaves, and some flower bones that have shed their bracts. As long as the sun is good, within two or three days, the pink and pink pink and yellow pink blue flowers will be in full bloom, and the good scenery in the spring of Cuiping Mountain will begin to slowly appear.

Because the weather is clear during the day, the moon is hung in the sky at night, and the moon is full like a silver plate on the canopy like brocade, and there are countless looming stars scattered around, which makes people can't help but indulge in it. Mrs. Qingyuan said goodbye to Qian Yuning early in the morning and took Mengxing back to the medicine house, Qian Yuning held a lantern and came to the door, and saw Chu Yan Chu Jing and two young nuns sitting with each other on the threshold, looking at them like that, it was even colder than in winter.

Qian Yuning walked over and said, "Little Master Chuyan, Little Master Chujing, it's still weirdly cold when the mountain wind blows this night, why are you wearing so thin today!" ”

Chu Jing said: "It's not that it's very hot to wear a jacket during the day today, so the two of us went back and took it off and changed it to a thin one, who knew that it was still so cold at night, and I froze to death." He shivered as he spoke, and it seemed to be really cold.

Qian Yuning smiled gently: "This day is really difficult to serve, it is as cold as winter in the morning and evening, and it is very hot in the afternoon, and I don't know how to dress." Two little masters, why don't you come into the house and have a cup of hot tea, I made some food today, I forgot that Master Qingyuan and Mengxing are not there, I have done too much, and it is a pity not to eat and throw it away, do you want to eat some. ”

Chu Yan Chujing often receives the benefits of Qian Yuning on weekdays, it is nothing more than some gadgets and food, and he is used to it, and Master Qingyuan doesn't say it when he is there, and when there is something delicious, he will ask Mengxing to give them a share. Hearing this, he didn't shirk it, and went into the house with Qian Yuning.

The room was warm, it was indeed much better than the gate of the courtyard, Qian Yuning brought out a plate of dried fruits and a plate of various pastries, pointed to a pot of tea on the table and said: "Two little masters, we are all old acquaintances, you're welcome, this tea is just made by me, please use it slowly!" Chu Jing Chuyan said a few words of thanks, sat down at the table respectively, began to pick up the pastries on the table and ate them, from time to time to take a sip of hot tea, such a taste, it was really enjoyable, and I couldn't tell how happy I was.

A plate of pastries will see the bottom after a while, the two female nuns are devouring and high-spirited, after all, the food in the temple is too poor, it is rare to eat so delicious, both of them are not polite, there is no trace of women's twisting and reserve, for them who have been sent to the temple since they were young because their family is not good and they can't afford to eat, filling their stomachs is more important than anything else.

Xu was very sleepy after eating and drinking, and the two nuns fell asleep on the table.

Qian Yuning cautiously stepped forward to probe the snort of the two, it was the breath of normal sleep, she breathed a long sigh of relief, just now she was afraid that they would wake up early, she added some more drugs, but she had never done such a thing, she was afraid that the amount of medicine she had given would be too heavy to death, so she was uneasy. Now I'm finally relieved.

Qian Yuning put on a thick cloak for herself, went out of the house, and stood quietly at the door, silently counting the hours in her heart. After a while, there were two short and long cat meows outside, Qian Yuning pulled the wooden bolt behind the door and saw three people standing outside the door. Among them, Mama Liu and Mama Sun are very familiar, and she just opened her mouth and called: "Mama Liu, Mama Sun." The two grandmothers came over excitedly, one of them took her hand and held it tightly in the palm of her hand, and the two grandmothers also called in unison: "Aunt is fine, but I want to die of the old slave." After speaking, I couldn't help but wipe away tears. Qian Yuning saw that there was a woman next to the two who had never met, and thought to herself, she was Ying Fang, so she stepped forward, took the woman's hand and said, "Miss Ying has worked hard, your hands are so cold, it must be very cold, let's go in quickly." The three of them followed her to her room, Qian Yuning didn't dare to light the lamp, just in the faint moonlight, looked at Ying Fang, Ying Fang was also generous to let her see, Qian Yuning grabbed her hand and sat next to the table and said: "Miss Ying is so bold, for my master and servant, you are bothered, but if this matter is known by the presiding master Dingyuan, I am afraid that the girl will be punished, I still have a hundred taels of silver here, give it to Miss Ying, in order to repay you for your dedication to my master and servant." ”

Ying Fang's face was full of seriousness, and she suddenly abandoned the stool she was sitting on, knelt down and said, "Auntie, Ying Fang wants to follow her aunt around to follow her husband and sister, so as to follow the work of dogs and horses." ”

Qian Yuning said lightly: "Oh! I heard that you turned out to be the aunt of the Lin Mansion, a century-old famous family in the capital, how could you be willing to succumb to me, a person whose name is unknown and discarded by the nun temple? ”

Ying Fang lowered her head and said with a humble attitude: "Aunt is a person with deep blessings, Ying Fang sees that Aunt is calm and relaxed, her face is ruddy, her belly is round like a jade ring, her skin is white like condensed fat, the heavenly court is full, and her body is possessed by soft light, and the little son in her aunt's arms will be a noble person in the future." Please accept Ying Fang, Ying Fang is not talented, but I am willing to do my best to protect the Lord faithfully. ”

Qian Yuning looked at her for a moment and said, "In your opinion, what should I do now?" ”

Ying Fang said respectfully: "My aunt is now more than six months pregnant, it seems that the day of birth is not far away, the Hou Mansion will definitely send someone to deliver my aunt in the near future, and by the way, I will monitor my aunt, once I give birth to a little son, I will take it away, and from then on, my aunt and mother and son will be separated from each other in the world, and they will be separated for life." She cautiously raised her head and looked at Qian Yuning's face, and continued: "The slave maid has already planned a route down the mountain for her aunt, as long as the aunt makes up her mind, the slave maid is willing to do her best for her aunt." ”

Qian Yuning had a trace of doubt: "The route down the mountain?" ”

Ying Fang smiled mysteriously and said: "Yes, the route down the mountain, this is the slave maid stayed on this mountain for a few years and slowly groped to find out, this trail is on the side of the mountain, not far from the road up and down the mountain, but hidden in the dense forest vines, very hidden, usually inaccessible, we go down the mountain by night, before dawn will be able to reach the city gate, as soon as the day dawns, the city gate is wide open, we can enter the city smoothly." ”

Qian Yuning pondered for a moment and said: "The nuns in this temple are all martial arts, especially Master Qingyuan and Master Dingyuan, they are deaf and clear-sighted, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to pass the test!" ”

Ying Fang stretched out her hand and spread it out, and a small brown porcelain bottle in the palm of her hand was lying quietly: "Auntie, please see, this is a colorless and tasteless drug, which was bought from a merchant in the Blue Moon Country, this medicine is very powerful, no matter how high her martial arts are, she can't prevent it." ”

Qian Yuning pressed a trace of panic in his heart, and said coldly: "Since you have obtained this magic medicine and can go down the mountain freely, why don't you just escape and be free, why do you deliberately come to me, a useless person under house arrest." ”

Ying Fang's face showed a sad look at this time, and said slowly with a wry smile: "Aunt doesn't know, the slave maid is the son of the Lin Mansion family, so they sent the slave maid to the temple, the slave maid did not dare to escape, and the temple Dingyuan Shitai also knew this, so it was very reassuring to let the slave maid go down the mountain with the sisters to buy." If the slave and maid escape, the government will definitely issue a document of arrest, and it will be a dead word when they are caught, and the slave and maid are weak women, where can they flee to? The heavens and the earth are big, but there is no place for slaves and maids. There are also the parents and brothers of the slave maid, who will definitely be dealt with by the lady of the house according to family law, and the poor daughter of the slave and maid will not have a good life. The slave maid also had no choice, this time she went to her aunt, and the slave maid also thought about it before deciding to give it a go. Please ask your aunt to reunite with the little marquis one day, and remember the loyalty of the slave and maid, and save the slave and maid's family from fire and water. ”

Qian Yuning was shocked to hear this, and she had no idea for a while, and she didn't know whether to trust the person in front of her, so she raised her eyes slightly without a trace and glanced at Mama Liu, who was standing behind Ying Fang at this time, facing her.

Qian Yuning saw Mama Liu nodding, and said secretly in her heart: "There is no other way now, let's try him, and then stay here and always wait for death, now my belly is getting bigger day by day, and the words that Mama Xu said to her when she sent her to the temple are still in her ears, the old woman has no good intentions, and she wants to separate their mother and son, which is really vicious." Although Ying Fang said that she still doesn't know if people are reliable, but what she said is true, this matter should not be delayed, if you go down the mountain late, you are blocked by the people from the Hou Mansion, and I am afraid that you will not be able to return to the sky at that time, instead of watching them take their children away, it is better to go down the mountain, even if you die, you will die with your child. ”

Thinking of this, Qian Yuning raised a smile on her face, got up and stepped forward to help Ying Fang, who was kneeling on the ground at this time, and said, "Miss Ying doesn't have to be so formal, why use you to make this big gift." As he spoke, he glanced at the two grandmothers of Liu Sun who were standing on the side, and pretended to be angry and said: "The two grandmothers are really, seeing that Miss Ying is kneeling and doesn't know how to help them up, how cold it is on this ground!" ”

Liu Sun and the two grandmothers were also like wooden people who had just woken up, and immediately became enthusiastic and stepped forward to help Ying Fang up.

Ying Fang took advantage of the situation to hold the hands of Grandma Liu and Grandma Sun and stood up, Qian Yuning's hands shook in front of him, and Ying Fang stood up, and at this time, he and Liu Sun stood in front of Qian Yuning respectfully.

Qian Yuning sat down again and said, "Miss Ying, sit down, how tired it is to stand and talk!" Besides, he has been kneeling for so long. ”

Ying Fanglian said: "Don't dare, don't dare, the master sits, how can there be a slave and maid to sit, just let the slave and maid stand." ”

Qian Yuning saw that she was respectful, and she didn't force it anymore.

Qian Yuning asked Mama Liu, "Mama Liu, what do you think?" ”

Mama Liu replied: "Auntie, what Miss Ying said is indeed quite reasonable, generally the aunts of large families will send a steady wife and mother-in-law and maids to serve in advance before giving birth. My aunt is now a six-month baby, and she really can't wait any longer, so she has to go down the mountain as soon as possible. ”

Qian Yuning frowned and said, "But I have a big belly and can't move, how can I go down the mountain, have you been to that road to check?" Isn't it very steep? Are there snakes, insects, rats, ants or anything like that? There are dozens of people in this hospital, is this small bottle of medicine enough? Could something go wrong? After we went down the mountain, did anyone come to pick us up? Do you want to send someone to inform the little marquis first? ”

After asking so many questions in one go, without waiting for Mama Liu to answer, Qian Yuning sighed faintly and said, "You say, the little marquis really cares about me?" Come to me? It's been so long, perhaps, he has forgotten about me, and I don't know! ”

Mama Liu stepped forward, held her hand, and said calmly: "Auntie is thinking nonsense again, the little marquis is thinking about her aunt wholeheartedly, and the old slave has already seen it when she was in Jiangning." The little marquis values his aunt, and he values the little son he conceives with his aunt, and the aunt must understand it in her heart. On the side, Grandma Sun also came up and said, "That's right! The old slave also felt that the little marquis loved his aunt, and in the green willow courtyard, the little marquis treated his aunt like a jewel, and the slaves and maids all saw it in their eyes, and the aunt was relaxed. ”

At this time, Ying Fang stepped forward and stood with the two grandmothers, and said: "When the slave maid went down the mountain, I also heard that the people in the market were talking about it, saying that the little marquis of Anxin Houfu seemed to be looking for someone recently, and mobilized many Praetorian Guards, and was scolded by the old marquis for this matter. The slave didn't know why, but when she saw her aunt, she learned that her aunt was from the little marquis's mansion. ”

After listening to the three of them, Qian Yuning regained her composure, she touched her round belly, and said, "Miss Ying, look, when will we leave?" ”

Ying Fang smiled: "Auntie, Ying Fang has already learned that after three days, Master Dingyuan will order most of the female nuns in the temple to go down the mountain to make a fortune according to the practice of previous years, and after they leave, we will wait for two days before moving." ”

Qian Yuning glanced at Ying Fang appreciatively and said, "Miss Ying is really deaf and intelligent. Then say, 'What time shall we depart?' ”

Ying Fang smiled and said: "According to the slave maid's opinion, at dinner, the slave maid and Grandma Liu and grandma Sun will make the meal, and the aunt will claim that she is not feeling well or hungry, and does not want to eat. ”

Qian Yuning thought about it, shook her head and said: "No, I see that Mama Liu will move down the mountain first after cooking dinner, we will wait until it is dark, they have eaten before leaving, and when we are halfway up the mountain, Mama Liu will bring the little marquis to come to meet at that time, it is the best policy." Otherwise, the two female nuns in Qingyuan Dingyuan have profound martial arts, and the female nuns in this temple also have some martial arts. Mama Liu will go first, she is agile, and she is familiar with the route in Beijing, she can find the Marquis of Anxin Mansion and go to see the little marquis, even if the three of us fail to escape, at least Mama Liu can tell the little marquis to come here to rescue, so as not to be defeated. ”

Ying Fang, Liu and Sun listened to it, and couldn't help but look at Qian Yuning with admiration, they couldn't imagine that their aunt Jing could have such insight, they admired it in their hearts, and praised it again and again, but they only felt that this plan was seamless and promising. Although there is still fear in my heart, but this move is related to the future, everyone is cautious, and this time it has added countless confidences, and I only feel that there is a broad road ahead, and I am full of ambition.
