Chapter 58: A Serendipitous Encounter
At this time, Shen Jingyi came to the old lady's place, and saw jade and amber standing outside, and the door was closed, so she was a little curious.
"Are Grandmother and Grandma Gui inside?" She asked Jade.
Inside, the old lady was talking to Mama Gui about Master Kong's words, "...... It is said that there is a hurdle at the age of fifteen, and you have to pass this hurdle before you can talk about marriage, my heart is really uneasy, and when I think of this child as a thin life, I ......"
At this moment, Shen Jingyi's voice came, Mama Gui was worried about how to comfort the old lady, this is unfortunate, someone is here.
"Madam, the second lady is here, I'm afraid that I just saw that your face is not good, come and take a look, can you let her in?"
When the old lady heard this, she hurriedly pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, wiped the tears from her face, "Let her in......
Mama Gui bowed, went out and opened the door.
“…… The old lady and Mama Gui are talking inside, and the slave maid will go and report it......"
"Second Miss," Mama Gui stood at the door, "Old lady, please come in!" ”
Shen Jingyi nodded, and Jade got out of the way.
When she entered the house, she saw the old lady with red eyes although she was smiling, and she was stunned, "Grandmother, what's wrong with you?" She hurried over and took her hand,
"Grandmother is fine," she patted her hand, and her heart was even more uncomfortable at the sight of her delicate face with a look of concern.
The baby she raised in the palm of her hand since she was a child turned out to be an ill-fated and thin-fated one, how could she not be sad?
Seeing this, Shen Jingyi probably guessed the reason, she smiled slightly, "Grandmother, but what did the host say?" She said, "You don't have to worry, your granddaughter will be safe with your protection." ”
"Good boy," the old lady nodded, "don't worry, grandmother will definitely protect you, and the master also said that as long as you pass the hurdle of fifteen, you will be fine, and it will be okay to talk about marriage when the time comes." ”
Shen Jingyi paused, and a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, "Grandmother, did the master say that I had a hurdle at the age of fifteen?" What is the hurdle? ”
"I didn't say this, but the dream you had was true, Sister Yi'er, the master also said that you should not talk about marriage too early, you have stayed by your grandmother's side for the past few years, and when you are fifteen years old, your grandmother will definitely choose a good husband for you, okay?"
"Grandmother just doesn't say it, Sister Yi also wants to rely on her grandmother for a few more years, now it's okay, grandmother doesn't want it."
"You stupid boy......"
She nodded her nose and took her in her arms, thinking secretly in her heart how to go to the south to find the nobleman.
And Shen Jingyi covered her eyes, and her heart was shocked, it turned out that the presiding abbot here was really a master, and he could calculate her calamity.
Fifteen years old, isn't it fifteen years old, that year she lost a qiē and was carried into the Dingyuan Mansion by a sedan chair. From then on, it was like falling into purgatory, and the soul was broken.
In this life, she must not step into that place again, that road, she never wants to see it again!
This night, I don't know if the old lady was uneasy or Shen Jingyi was uneasy, and the two of them proposed to sleep together. Like when she was a child, the old lady hummed the old tune of the capital and coaxed her to sleep.
Maybe this tune was too long, Shen Jingyi soon fell asleep, dreamless all night.
The next day, she got up early and waited with Mama Gui for the old lady to get up and freshen up.
Everyone gathered for breakfast, and then they dispersed, and the old lady must worship the Buddha and chant the scriptures when she comes to Daxing Temple, so they don't dare to disturb her.
Shen Jingyi came out with pearls and green, looking at the sky, the spring breeze was warm and the sun was shining.
It's a great weather!
"I heard that there are peach blossoms blooming in the back mountain, let's go and see, I want to pick some petals for my grandmother to make peach blossom dew, she didn't seem to sleep very well last night." Shen Jingyi said.
The old lady hadn't slept before she went to bed last night, and when she woke up in the morning, the old lady had been open for a long time.
She knew that the old lady must be worried about her.
"Do you want to bring a few guards, what if you let the tourists collide." Pearl reminded.
Shen Jingyi shook her head, as far as she knew, this time was just right, "It's usually noon, there are many people in the afternoon, there won't be a few people at this time, don't bother, just let's go." ”
Pearl didn't say much when she heard this, went to bring her things, and followed Shen Jingyi to the back mountain with Green Whisk.
When I got here, it was really as she said, there was no one, and the whole back mountain was still carrying fresh dew on the peach blossoms because it was morning. When the breeze blows, the fragrance of flowers and dew on the face relieves the morning sleepiness.
"Second Miss is so powerful, there is really no one here." Green Whisk said, jumping through the woods.
Shen Jingyi stopped in front of a peach blossom, looked back and smiled, "Don't be naughty, hurry up and pick the petals, you have to bring dewdrops, be careful, don't get dirty." ”
"Yes......"
In the forest, the green breeze answered in a loud voice, and in the peach forest, someone's hand holding a pen paused.
Shen Jingyi shook her head with a smile, and said to the pearls beside her: "You go pick it too, let's go separately and try to finish picking it as soon as possible." ”
Pearl has no opinion, anyway, although this forest is not small, if something screams, they can hear it, and they will not be far away.
Shen Jingyi also held the pink glazed engraved porcelain jar in her hand and strolled through the peach forest. Occasionally, when I saw a suitable petal, I stopped and took it away.
The peach blossoms reflect each other, the sun gilds a layer of golden light on her body, and her already delicate and beautiful face is even more amazing.
Gradually, there were more and more petals in Shen Jingyi's porcelain jar, and she was almost at the end, not realizing that she had walked so far.
"It's almost there, it's time to go back." She muttered, and took out her handkerchief and covered the porcelain jar to prevent any flying insects from flying in or getting dirty.
As soon as she turned around, a person appeared in front of her, and when she was so frightened that she stepped back, one stepped on her cloak unsteadily.
When she was about to fall, the man stretched out his long arm and scooped her up and helped her up.
The porcelain jar fell to the ground with a dull sound, but fortunately the dirt was not a slate, so it was not broken.
The man glanced at what was on the ground, then let go of her, crouched down, and picked up the porcelain jar and handkerchief. His fingers were white and slender, and the porcelain jar looked a little better.
Shen Jingyi was stunned in place, she didn't expect to meet him here under such circumstances.
It wasn't until there was an extra porcelain jar in front of her that she came back to her senses and stretched out her hand to take the porcelain jar, "Much, thank you......" She lowered her eyes and blessed her body slightly.
The corners of the man's lips hooked slightly, and he only heard him say: "I just heard that your maid is also here, go back early, there will be more people in a while, you are a boudoir lady, and you didn't bring an escort, it's inconvenient." Finally, he said, "I will send you back." ”
