On the day of going to Mingjue Temple to incense, Su Xi took a half-day off from his master of clan studies, and then went out with the Yin family.

Only then did he go out of the second door, and a few people came in front of him. Su Lingrong was wearing an autumn-colored full-breasted skirt, followed by a pair of mother and daughter, dressed very plainly, her daughter was wearing a red satin butterfly love pattern horse-faced skirt that was fashionable last year, and the color was washed a little white, but it looked very clean, fourteen or fifteen years old. After Su Xi saw the woman's face clearly, her steps paused, and her eyebrows frowned imperceptibly.

Su Lingrong led the mother and daughter forward, squatted down towards the Yin family, and said with a smile: "Auntie." ”

Yin nodded, his gaze falling behind her. "Who are these two?"

Su Lingrong pushed the boat down the river, introduced the two to the Yin family, and said: "This is my cousin Liao's mother, this is my cousin Li Xiangru, who lives in Kaifeng, and I have something to ask my mother for help in Beijing this time, and I am going to take them to Xihu Garden at this time." ”

Xihu Garden is a courtyard for two-room living, in the northwest of Su Province.

Yin looked at Liao's mother and daughter, and Liao was busy with her daughter Li Xiangru and saluted her respectfully, "I've seen the eldest lady." ”

Yin is the wife of the clan in the end, she has been in charge of the family for nearly 20 years, and she is also very mellow in her behavior, so she said: "Since she is a relative of the second brother and sister, Rong Yatou will arrange a place to live, don't be lazy." ”

Liao Shili said thoughtfully: "Thank you, eldest lady." ”

Li Xiangru in the back also thanked him, and when he straightened up, he secretly glanced at Su Xi next to Yin's family, and saw that Su Xi was wearing a primrose-colored Su embroidered Ruyi cloud pattern short jacket, and a pine green skirt underneath. Xiangyun yarn is known as soft gold, a horse is worth a lot of money, if it is not for a well-to-do family, it really can't afford to wear such clothes. Li Xiangru lowered his head, and a trace of envy flashed in his eyes.

Because the Yin family wanted to go to Mingjue Temple to make a vow, he didn't say much, and left after a few polite sentences.

Li Xiangru looked at the backs of the Yin family and Su Xi leaving, and asked, "That is the ninth girl, right?" Born so exquisitely. "The clothes and jewelry are also very good, and the jade pendant with the double crane beads on the bare waist does not know how many taels of silver it costs, and it is a little girl raised by Jinshan Yinshan at a glance.

Su Lingrong naturally disagreed with these words, and only sneered disapprovingly, how could she still be obedient in front of the Yin family first. "Exquisite? I think it's a delicate jade dumpling, if my sister eats more, she can become like her. ”

Having said that, there was some hesitation in my heart. I always feel that Su Xi has changed a lot recently, as for where has changed...... She couldn't say it again, as if her face was smaller, her body was taller, and her face was powdery, more moist and delicate than before. For some reason, Su Lingrong actually thought of the budding flower bones in the backyard flowers.

Su Xi followed the Yin family out of the house, and he still frowned tightly until he got into the carriage.

Su Xi thought of Li Xiangru's eyes, the corners of his eyes drooped slightly, and he was a little innocent and pitiful when he looked at people. In his previous life, Li Xiangru deceived everyone with these eyes, and insisted that it was the eldest brother Su Li who ruined his innocence, forcing the eldest brother to marry her into the family as a continuation. But if it weren't for the eldest brother who saved her from drowning, she would have died a long time ago, how could she still live well?

After Li Xiangru married her eldest brother, because she was born in a small family and had a narrow vision, she had no common topic with her eldest brother at all. Su Xi only knew that the eldest brother had a very unhappy life in those years, frowning all day long, and growing white hair in his twenties.

Later, Su Xi married Li Yan, and he didn't know the situation at home, in short, this Li Xiang was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Su Xi recalled the situation on the day Li Xiangru fell into the water, it was raining lightly that day, not long after Su Baiyu went, the eldest brother was drinking in the lake pavilion in the backyard, and Li Xiangru fell into the water nearby.

Su Xi hurriedly lifted the curtain and looked at the weather outside, fortunately, the sun was shining and there were no clouds.

*

Yin Shi saw that Su Xi had a small round face since she left the house, and she looked preoccupied, and gently tapped her head with her fingertips, "What does the little girl think?" ”

Su Xi thought, Su Baiyu didn't have an accident in this life, so his eldest brother shouldn't go to Huxin Pavilion to drink, right? Su Xi sat in Yin's arms, like a coquettish cat, and pretended to mention casually: "Mother, eldest brother seems to be quite busy lately?" ”

The carriage rolled out, and headed for the city gate.

Yin nodded, and said: "Your eldest brother has just entered Honglu Temple, and there are many points and entertainment in the officialdom. After that, he looked at the little daughter in his arms, and her beautiful eyes softened a little, "I heard that you took Bai Ge'er to flower incense before, and Bai Ge'er got along well with you?" This kid has a strange temper, and when I talk to him, he sometimes ignores him. ”

Speaking of this, Su Xi is very proud, Su Baiyu has been close to her a lot recently, and will take the initiative to talk to her, sometimes Su Xi kicks the shuttlecock in the yard, this little guy can't learn with short legs, Su Xi asked him to pick up the shuttlecock for himself, but he didn't expect him to pick up the shuttlecock obediently. Su Xi said: "I am Bai Ge'er's aunt, my eldest brother has been busy recently, so I should naturally take good care of Bai Ge'er for my brother." ”

Yin stared at her for a while, Dai Mei raised slightly in surprise, and then said with emotion: "We are young and sensible." ”

Su Xi paused for a moment, raised his head and asked, "Mother, Brother Bai can't be without a mother all the time." It's been a long time since your sister-in-law left, haven't you thought about letting your eldest brother marry again? According to the appearance and ability of the eldest brother, even if it is a continuation, it will definitely be able to find a good one. "At least it will be better than Li Xiangru.

It's not that Su Xi boasts, her two elder brothers are very good, the eldest brother is mature and wise, and the second brother is handsome. Moreover, the eldest brother attaches great importance to love and righteousness, which can be seen from the fact that after Luo's death, Su Li did not remarry for three years. Su Xi felt very uncomfortable when she thought that such a good eldest brother was later ruined by Li Xiangru.

"Didn't you mention it to me?" Yin's tone was helpless, she had said this to Su Li no less than ten times, "Your eldest brother is still thinking about Luo's old love, and he refuses to marry another girl to delay others, even if I say it, he won't listen to me." ”

Yin has shown Su Lixiang many girls, all of whom are well-born and well-mannered, but after Su Li saw them, he closed those pictures without saying anything, and said: "Mother knows my situation, if I let the other party marry into our family, I am afraid that her life will be delayed." ”

What do you say about delaying or not delaying, it's not that you haven't seen any of them, if you do, where are there so many excuses?

Su Xi saw that Yin's face was not good, so he didn't continue to speak, and not long after, the carriage stopped at the gate of Mingjue Temple.

*

The monk led them into the temple, and when they arrived at the Daxiong Treasure Hall, Yin knelt on the futon to make a vow, and Su Xi also followed with three incense sticks. Afterwards, Yin heard that the abbot of the temple had returned from a trip to other places, so he wanted to ask the abbot to help draw a few peace charms for his three children.

Speaking of which, Yin's ability to know the abbot of Mingjue Temple is still the credit of Su Xi. If she hadn't broken the abbot's Jianlan back then, the Yin family would have lost another Emei Chenguang, and the abbot of Mingkong loved it, so I am afraid it would not have anything to do with the abbot of Mingkong.

Yin asked a little novice to help pass the word, and after a while, the little novice came back and said, "Female donor, please come here." ”

Su Xi followed Yin to the door of a meditation room, pushed open the fan, and saw a master in a robe sitting behind a small table with vermilion lacquer. Abbot Mingkong must have heard of Yin's intention, and made a "please" gesture and said, "Madame, please take a seat." ”

The abbot of Mingkong is over the age of six, the top of his head is smooth, and his chin has a long beard with white flowers, like a harmonious Maitreya Buddha.

Abbot Mingkong asked Xiao Shami to go to the inner room to get the rune paper and pen and ink, and looked at Su Xi beside the Yin family with a pair of wise eyes, and smiled: "This must be the little girl who broke Jianlan in the first place?" ”

Su Xi didn't expect the abbot to be so direct, he was a little embarrassed for a while, and confessed: "It's my ......."

Abbot Mingkong still had a smile on his face, but he didn't say anything more.

Su Xi raised his eyes, not knowing what it meant, so he pondered: "At that time, I was ignorant, please don't be like me." ”

Abbot Mingkong said: "It's been many years, and I have forgotten the appearance of that Jianlan, so the donor doesn't have to care too much." ”

Su Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she still thought that the abbot had a grudge until now. Since this is the case, then she was embarrassed to speak next, Su Xi subconsciously sat up straight, and looked at Abbot Mingkong with big watery eyes and said: "I heard that the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of your temple has Mrs. Wei's "Famous Ji Post", master, I don't know if you can borrow it from me to appreciate it?" ”

Abbot Mingkong was really good at speaking, and said: "The works of the predecessors have been handed down for future generations to read, what the girl wants to see, I will let you lead you over." ”

Huijing is a little novice who has just led the way.

Su Xi said gratefully, "Thank you, Master. ”

Yin waited in the meditation room for the abbot Mingkong to draw a peace charm, and Su Xi took Tingyan to the scripture pavilion at the back of the guest room.

Idlers were not allowed to enter the Scripture Pavilion, and the abbot of Mingkong only agreed to Su Xi to enter, but did not agree to let Tingyan in. Hearing that Yan was stopped outside the door by Huijing, she said anxiously: "Girl......"

Su Xi thought about Mrs. Wei's notebook, thinking that she would be able to come out soon, and said comfortably: "Sister Tingyan is waiting for me outside the door, I will come out soon." ”

Listening to Yan had no choice but to watch Su Xi walk into the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.

The light in the pavilion was dim, and a few small windows were opened above, and the light shone in through the windows, barely illuminating the rows of bookshelves inside. There are three floors in the Scripture Pavilion, Su Xi started to look for it from the first floor, the first few rows are full of scriptures, Su Xi looked for it with all his eyes, and he didn't see any traces related to Mrs. Wei. When she was about to go up to the second floor, she finally saw the shadow of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the last row.

Su Xi scanned them one by one, and finally found that Mrs. Wei's "Famous Ji Post" was placed on the top layer of the bookshelf.

The bookshelves in the Scripture Pavilion were built quite high, and Rao is Su Xi stood on tiptoe and stretched out his arms to reach them. Su Xi jumped a few times, and he was so tired that he was out of breath, and he didn't even touch the spine of "Famous Ji Ti". Being short is not good, she must grow taller than her previous life in this life, Su Xi thought hatefully.

Su Xi finally gave up, trying to find out if there was a small pestle in the Scripture Pavilion that could step on his feet, and only then turned around, he heard a slow and calm footsteps.

Su Xi thought that it was the little novice at the door who came in, and she was overjoyed, and was about to open her mouth to ask the other party to help her get the book, but found that the footsteps were not coming from the door, but from the stairs.

Su Xi didn't know that there were other people in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, and watched the other party walk down from the upper floor in a daze, first the dark green hem, then the sandalwood embroidered lotus pattern sachet and the double crane rank grass jade pendant, and then the embroidered gold belt and straight body......

Su Xi's eyes widened wider and wider, he never thought that he would meet Wei Feng here!

Perhaps it was because Xiao Shami's Huijing was too nervous, and Su Xi subconsciously thought that there was no one else in this scripture pavilion except himself. Now that Wei Feng was also there, Su Xi stood in place, motionless, subconsciously holding his breath. Her position is dark and somewhat hidden, as long as Wei Feng doesn't deliberately look this way, he won't find her. Su Xi opened her round apricot eyes, looking forward to Wei Feng leaving like this-

Wei Feng's footsteps stopped.
