Qian Mo came in with dinner, Jin Yi asked her and Qiao Wei to sit down, and the three of them ate together.

Cold chicken pith bamboo shoots, sake lees goose paws, shredded chicken white fungus, and a cage of golden silk siu mai, just Yutian japonica porridge, Jin Yi has some appetite.

Qian Mo smiled and put a siu mai into her bowl, "This is made by the slave maid herself, and the craftsmanship is not as good as Qiao Wei." ”

Qiao Wei also smiled, "My craftsmanship is actually not as good as Miss." ”

Jin Yi smiled silently, took a bite gently, and put dried bamboo shoots and jade melon cut into fine shreds in it, the taste was sweet, the shrimp meat was chopped into fine puree, and the egg white was added to mix, which tasted soft and crispy.

"There's tofu in this shrimp?" Jin Yi tasted it carefully and asked Qian Mo.

Qian Mo was a little surprised, "Miss's tongue is really spiritual." ”

"No wonder it's a bit bean-scented." Jin Yi said with a smile. The aroma of tofu masks the faint fishy smell of the shrimp, and the texture is firmer.

After eating, Jin Yi sat on the warm kang, took a medical book and flipped through it, and Qian Mo brought a jasmine drink to her.

"When you come back from Puji Temple tomorrow, you can ask Mama Yu to send someone to collect donations. I won't dare to pick up your stuff again. Jin Yi said to her with a smile.

It's no wonder that no one has subscribed to the first place on the list of Yishantang donations every year, if it weren't for the fact that she had practiced acupuncture for a year in Shangxiutang, and with the help of Qiaowei, such a large Buddha picture, embroidered day and night for a month, I am afraid it would have been completed.

Qian Mo responded with a smile, wanting to remind her to read the letter, seeing that she looked relaxed at this time, not as disheartened as yesterday, and couldn't bear to mention it.

In the past few days with Jinyi, Qian Mo can see that although she is always calm and calm on the face, she is actually a cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and she doesn't know what she has in her heart, which always makes people feel heavy.

Jin Yi lay down for a long time, and her mind always drifted to the exquisite box on the dressing table.

After turning it over twice, she simply got up, her steps were slow and silent, in order not to wake up Qian Mo, she had even used the small body method.

When he arrived at the dressing table, he touched the bracket on the delicate box, opened it gently, took the letter in his hand, and quietly returned to the couch.

He turned the wick of the bedside low, and opened the letter by the dim candle flame.

"I have left Beijing, and I will return on the fifteenth. Wait for me. There are only ten words, the handwriting is as elegant as the wind, there is no head on it, and there are two round plums painted at the place where the money is dropped.

Jin Yi read these ten words over and over again several times, as if she wanted to engrave these words in her heart. He looked at the plums drawn below, and the two leaned on one side.

She reached under an embroidered pillow on the inside of the bed, touched it for a while, and squeezed a wrist rope in her hand. It was a red rope with a thin thread and a wishful knot, and two green and moist jade plums were tied to it, which was the gift that Xiaolou entrusted people brought to Meiju to give her.

It was originally a pair of earrings, but Jin Yi felt that it was too ostentatious to wear on her ears, as if everyone knew what was going on in her heart, so she removed it and braided it with a red rope and wore it on her wrist every day. The length of the red rope is just right, and it is stuck on the forearm, and it usually does not fall down and be discovered.

Last night she took off the green plum rope and planned to never wear it again.

In the past, when I was in Meiju, I saw that although he only had a few faces, he had quietly remembered this person in his heart. Originally, she thought that if one day she had everything done by herself, and she could retreat with her whole body, she would wander the rivers and lakes with him, and she would be at ease.

She never expected that the number one killer in the rivers and lakes who was as free and easy as the wind would be the prince of Chu Chen of the Huajing Dynasty.

The last time he was in Biyun Temple, he said that he didn't leave until fifteen, and now he left in a hurry, what is it for? He always thought that he might have learned a thing or two about himself from Mr. Ji......

Jin Yi put the letter on the candle flame and burned it carefully, holding the wrist rope in his hand, the two green jade plums were tightly attached to the palm of his hand, and he was a little hot.

The heart turns a thousand times, and the mind is unsettled.

Early the next morning, the ladies of the Qin Mansion arrived at Fuxi Hall early.

Today, the old lady wants to go to Puji Temple to offer incense, and she has eaten food in the hall for breakfast.

The four ladies of the Qin Mansion sat on the four-person sedan chair, following the old lady's eight-person sedan chair. Jin Yi Jinru shared a car.

Qin Jinxiu also came, I heard that she had been sick for two days, but she couldn't see that she was in bad spirits, and she wore a parrot green bamboo pattern brocade shirt, and the bottom was a lotus-colored pleated skirt, which looked beautiful and elegant, not as luxurious and compelling as before.

She shared a ride with Mrs. May.

Jinchen wanted to follow his mother in a sedan chair, but when he saw Jinyi, he wanted to sit in her car. Mama Hu had to follow Jinyi's car, fortunately, the carriage was spacious, Mama Hu sat aside, and Jinchen squeezed between Jinyi and Jinru, asking Jinyi for cakes.

Jinru asked Routao to bring him a box of silk candy, and stroked his head with a smile, "Don't lose my sugar slag." ”

Jin Yi saw that his little face was round and plump a lot more than before, and asked Mama Hu with a smile, "Brother Chen still loves sweets so much?" ”

"Yes, it's time to change his teeth, and now Madame doesn't dare to let him eat too much." Mama Hu said with a smile.

Jin Chen poked his somewhat loose front teeth with his fingers and let Jin Yi see, "It will move." ”

Jinru knocked his hand off, "Don't move, when the new teeth are crooked, you won't be able to please your daughter-in-law when you grow up." ”

The people in the car laughed, and Jin Chen smiled and buried his head in Jin Yi's arms.

Jin Yi said to Mama Hu: "After the new teeth grow out, you can give him more hard things to eat, and chew more teeth to make the bones stronger." Then he asked, "Are you still taking the medicine I prescribed?" ”

Mama Hu nodded, "Still eating." Now I only eat one meal a day. ”

Puji Temple is located outside the west gate of Jianye City, out of the Yongning Gate along the official road, the carriage walked for about a quarter of an hour, turning to the direction of the Xiban Mountain.

All the way to build a smooth road, the temple is at the foot of the mountain, the temple in front of the wall is magnificent, the incense in the temple is prosperous, and the green smoke is floating to the mountainside of the sunset mountain.

This is a place where the ladies of the city's families often come, and ordinary civilians are not allowed to enter.

Therefore, although there were not many people in the temple during the year.

Today, the old lady of the Qin family came to incense with the ladies of the house, and the guards in the palace who opened the way in front had already cleared the scene outside the temple, and the host Master Zhiyun personally greeted him, and put his hands together to the old lady Qin, "Amitabha, the old lady is here, Zhiyun has missed the distance, and I hope to forgive the sin." ”

Old Madam Qin smiled kindly, "The master personally came out to greet him, and the old man didn't dare to be it." Today is to bring their juniors, they are not so blessed, but they can't stand your welcome. ”

Zhiyun led everyone into the temple on the side, and said with a smile: "The old lady is as blessed as the East China Sea, as long as you give a little bit to the ladies and ladies, it will already be blessed." ”

Puji Temple often has the ladies of the noble eunuch's house to come, Zhiyun is used to dealing with them, are very familiar, instructed the monks to arrange for everyone to incense.

Ziyue presented the "Diamond Sutra" copied by the old lady on weekdays, and the old lady personally handed it to Master Zhiyun and asked him to give alms to the people.

The monks accompanied each other all the way and led everyone to the meditation room on the side to rest.
