"Since Master doesn't want to go to the border, then follow me back to Shanshui County, right? The fruit grove in the valley is growing well now, and the peach branches on your smiling peach tree are easy to sell, Master, one can sell for eighty-eight! "Just because the crooked-necked peach tree belongs to Master Joy, except for the peaches that are transported to Master every year, the rest is sold very quietly, and those rich old ladies love this kind of blessed thing.

Master Xile looked at the apprentice who was trying to return to Shanshui County with a bitter face, and sighed in his heart, if only he had such a good life as a little apprentice, his crossing had a mission. Whether it's out of his heart or his mission, he will do something. The world shouldn't be like this.

Being looked at with a kind of melon baby's eyes, Du Xiaoxi closed his mouth in hindsight.

Seeing that Du Xiaoxi didn't say anything, Master Xile nodded with satisfaction, and said quite profoundly: "This time, you are going to stay here for a few months, and you will go with the flow." ”

Whether Broken Army Star can return to its original trajectory depends on this apprentice.

Du Xiaoxi left in a daze, not knowing that the Buddhist master had been concentrating on Taoist research for many years.

Master's birthday is on the thirteenth day of the lunar month, and it is not yet November, Du Xiaoxi doesn't know why Master asked her to come over so early. It is to hold the quilt and stay motionless on the kang with nothing to do every day.

Kyoto is not a place where people stay, and it can freeze people into dead dogs!

Du Xiaoxi has always known that the northern region of this world is very cold, and originally thought that the winter was similar to that of his hometown in his previous life, after all, they were also close to the mountains with a higher altitude in the northwest, and there was a lot of snow in winter. But after arriving here, Du Xiaoxi found that she was too sweet.

The trees are bare, a vast land, and white is the only color.

The blizzard came almost once every few days, and they encountered a small hailstorm on the way.

The environment is harsh. It was beyond Du Xiaoxi's imagination.

The university has closed the roads and mountains, and the Xiraku Temple is also in the off-season, and there may not be a single guest at the end of the day.

The monks in the temple stay in their rooms except for daily homework and martial arts. The whole temple has been quiet except for group activities.

After accompanying the girl in the temple for a few days, Du Liu and Du Ba couldn't help it at first.

The food in the temple is so bad that people are angry, and they boil cabbage, stir-fry cabbage, stew cabbage every day, and then they will become old cabbage!

They want meat! Fatty, oily meat!

Cabbage radish rolling thick!

Du Ba pulled his brother and strongly expressed their ** that they were going down the mountain, and looked at the little eyes of the sister longingly. Du Ba directly arrested Du Xiaoxi. His sister is going down the mountain to eat meat!

Master Joy nodded in agreement. "It's the old man who didn't think it through, so you guys go down the mountain and play!" In the stunned eyes of the three of them, Master Joy drove the three out of the door without the slightest hesitation.

Seeing that the three of them had not yet come back to their senses, Master Xile asked with concern, "Where do you want to go after you go down the mountain?" ”

Where?

Du Liu and Du Ba looked at each other. They have nowhere to go!

Guest house? No, no, the prices in Kyoto are too expensive, and selling the three of them is not enough to eat.

Looking for Uncle Liu? Not good. It's not good, the girl will be looked down upon when she marries in the future.

Du Liu and Du Ba glanced at each other. Qi Qi sighed, did they still have to be fake monks in the temple for a few months? Think horror! However, the mountains are full of monks, and there must be a lot of animals in the surrounding mountains, maybe they can find meat to eat on their own?

Master Joy is very empathetic. "You go to live in the Nine Emperor Princes' Mansion, the little girl hasn't seen his senior brother for a few years, so it's time to meet someone."

Du Liudu's head shook into a rattle. They would rather rely on themselves in the mountains to find meat to eat than go to the prince's mansion!

As soon as you hear it, you know it's not a good place!

"It's such a happy decision!"

The Master of Joy clapped the board. "Huai Weak, send them to the Tranquility Mansion quickly, you can come back if the time comes."

Huai Wei, who was even stronger than a few years ago, took the three burdens that Huai Ming hurriedly packed and walked directly towards the outside of the temple.

The luggage was taken away, Du Liu hurriedly followed, and Du Ba did not forget to pull up the girl who didn't know what night it was.

Huai was weak on the mountain road, Du Liu and Du Ba protected Du Xiaoxi Langlang and staggered behind him, for fear that a piece of ice would accidentally come out of his feet and took the train along the mountain road.

went down the mountain, rushed forward with a weak head and didn't look back, Du Liu and Du Ba, who had not walked through such a heavy snowfall, still protected the girl with a deep foot and a shallow foot to chase hard.

The four of them were lucky, there was an ox cart passing by not far from the official road, and Huai was weak with his honest appearance and light brain, and Du Xiaoxi and the three of them also followed.

The four of them entered the city, and Huai Xiao shouted and followed and strode forward, passing through the lively market, walking through a piece of high-door households, Du Xiaoxi almost couldn't hold on to her sixth brother's back, Huai Xiao finally took them to their destination.

"This is it!"

Huai Wan looked up at the plaque, threw the injured burden to Du Liu and Du Ba, and left in a chic manner.

Leaving Du Xiaoxi and the guards with knives in the prince's mansion looking at each other with tears in their eyes.

Fortunately, none of the people who can guard the door in the Prince's Mansion are melons, they don't know Du Xiaoxi and the others, but they know Huai Weak! People are apprentices under Master Joy, and His Royal Highness has to shout Senior Brother when it comes to it.

Du Liu Du Ba saw a group of majestic guards who were very restrained, after all, the officials at the gate of the government in their county were looking at who was not pleasing to the eye, and the guards at the gate of the prince must be more powerful.

Du Xiaoxi didn't like the evaluation and scrutiny of a large number of their brothers, and with a sense of superiority, he stepped forward and raised his head and said loudly: "I am Du Zhixi, the lay disciple of Master Xile, and I came to find my senior brother today!" ”

Everyone's eyes fell on Du Xiaoxi, and the round face looked very pleasing The little lady was the junior sister of their Royal Highness?

The leading doorman stepped forward and saluted: "Du Niangzi, please wait a moment, we will go in and report!" As he spoke, he led Du Xiaoxi and the three of them to sit in the conservatory with the stove burning.

The Nine Emperors have been in the court for many years, and now they are training in the military department, and they have been coming back for many days near evening. The little guy at the outer gate handed the news directly to the inner courtyard.

The Nine Emperor Concubine Mu Lian leaned on the bed and read the book in a low voice, gently stroking her bulging belly from time to time, her eyes filled with infinite tenderness and maternal love.

Master Joy said that the little ones are very smart, and she is happy that he will be happy. He would know it when she was studying. She felt that what the master said was right, and when she was happy, he would follow suit, and when she was unhappy, he would quietly not disturb her. The master is right, the baby is indeed the best gift from God.

A little girl knocked on the door and came in, and Mama Qing looked at the master who was still holding her stomach and was silly in the inner room, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" Didn't the master say don't disturb at will at this time! ”

The little girl gave a bow and whispered back, "Mama Qing." The gatehouse said that His Royal Highness's junior sister was here. ”

Your Royal Highness's younger sister?

Mama Qing subconsciously frowned. I remembered who was walking towards the inner room.

"Master, Your Highness's junior sister is outside the mansion."

Mu Lian put down the book after hearing this, gently touched her stomach and straightened up. Puzzled: "Your Highness's junior sister? Is it Du Niangzi from Shanshui County? ”

"It should be, Master Xile only has three lay disciples, if Lord Minglan comes to the gatehouse, he will definitely not say that."

Mu Lian nodded, "We don't know what His Highness's attitude towards this senior sister is. Mama went to welcome people into the house on my behalf. ”

"The old slave is going."

Mu Lian touched her stomach thoughtfully, and motioned to Fanhua to help her change into the clothes of the guests. I thought to myself about what His Royal Highness meant by this junior sister who came over suddenly.

Qing Mama ran to the gate in small steps and saw a fourteen or fifteen little lady holding a teacup and drinking tea, and two big men sitting next to her were bowing their heads and talking to her.

Mama Qing saw that Her Royal Highness's junior sister was a child who had not grown up, and the smile on her face was even kinder when she saw that she was dressed up and was a small family.

"Du Niangzi Da'an. His Royal Highness is still in the yamen and has not returned, and Niangniang is unwell and cannot come, so she goes to Du Niangzi Haihan. ”

Du Xiaoxi shook his head. "It's us who came to disturb us, this is my sixth brother. This is my starling. We were driven down the mountain by Master to borrow here. ”

Mama Qing was slightly stunned, "This girl is too sincere, right?" ”

Mama Qing still smiled lightly, "Du Niangzi is tired, go and rest." The old body is the young grandmother next to the mother, and Du Niangzi can also call me that. ”

Mama Qing took Du Xiaoxi to the backyard, inquiring about things without a trace along the way.

Although the people of Dashang are open, Du Liu and Du Ba are foreign men after all, and it is not good to walk around in the inner courtyard when the male owner is not there, so they were separated from Du Xiaoxi and arranged to be accompanied by a small housekeeper in the outer courtyard.

Mama Qing took Du Xiaoxi directly to the Yulan Garden, which was not far from the main courtyard, and after leaving a few girls to serve, she hurried back to the main courtyard to talk to the master about this junior sister.

Du Xiaoxi can be said to be a wolf at the moment.

The north wind was blowing, the hair had been flying willfully with the wind for several hours, the jacket on his body had long been wrinkled because of the running all the way, and the little buckskin boots under his feet had become muddy because of walking in the snow for a long time.

This image is not as good as the four girls standing in front of them.

Jade sleeves, jade shirts, jade shirts came in with a tray, and they all bent their knees and said, "Du Niangzi Da'an." ”

After the four of them reported their names one by one, they signaled Du Xiaoxi to freshen up first. Du Xiaoxi didn't refuse, Meimeida took a bath, changed into new clothes, and ate long-lost food. As for the disdainful little eyes of a girl called 'bath towel', Du Xiaoxi was overjoyed.

After eating and drinking, someone came to invite, thinking that it was the wife of the senior brother, and even what would happen in the future, Du Xiaoxi watched it carefully and made sure that there was no mistake and followed directly to the main courtyard.

It is a beautiful goose egg face with a shallow smile and a smile, although it is not as delicate and beautiful as the senior brother, but it has an excellent temperament, reserved and noble with a little kindness, which will not make people look down on it or make people feel alienated.

"Sister Du, let me introduce myself when we meet for the first time, I am the wife of His Royal Highness, the Nine Emperor Princesses, you can call me Sister Mu."

"Hello Sister Mu!" Du Xiaoxi is very good.

"My sister came to visit suddenly, but what's the matter with the master?"

Du Xiaoxi shook his head and said with a little embarrassment: "My brothers wanted to eat meat, but the master didn't allow it, so he drove us down the mountain." Xiaoxi has nowhere to go, so she can only come to join her brother. ”

Eating meat? Buddhism dares to eat meat? It's already good to be kicked down.

Mu Lian's mouth twitched, and Du Xiaoxi pretended not to see it.

"My sister is pregnant with a baby, her belly is so big, how many months? You're going to give birth, right? ”

said that the child will always be gentle when he is a mother, "It's been eight months, and I was born around the New Year." ”

"Next year is the Year of the Ox, and my little nephew will definitely be as healthy as a calf."

Every child who currently likes to be praised by others, even if that child is still in the womb.

Although Du Xiaoxi is not pregnant, she has seen a lot of her sisters-in-law when they are pregnant, and she knows many taboos. After Mu Lian knew that Du Niang had given birth to nine sons and raised all of them, she listened with a lot of eyes, and she couldn't wait to exchange parenting treasures with Du Niang.

The two of them quickly became hot on the topic of children, and Mama Qing saw that the two of them were chattering together, and looked at Du Xiaoxi suspiciously. What kind of person is this?

Soon an afternoon passed, and Shang Qing, who received the news, rushed back on time.

The young man who hasn't seen the cold for a few years has calmed down a lot, although he still looks arrogant and cold.

Du Xiaoxi saw Shang Qing's gaze sweeping over, straightened up and sat down, and replied with a good baby: "Senior brother, Master picked me up for my fiftieth birthday, but I didn't calculate the time too much earlier." I live in the temple and eat cabbage every day, and my brother can't stand it anymore and comes to your house to eat meat! ”

After Du Xiaoxi finished speaking, he looked at Shang Qing pitifully, "We have no relatives and no reason in this place, senior brother must take us in!" ”

Shang Qing glanced at Du Xiaoxi and dropped three words, "Stay!" He went to the study without looking back.

Lying on the thick bed at night, Shang Qing closed his eyes and remembered his master's words.

In fact, he had always been curious about why the master accepted a girl who couldn't speak well.

At first, I only thought that it was because her family could give birth, so I pointed her out to the Liu family as a granddaughter-in-law. But then the two of them mysteriously didn't know what to say.

He didn't pay much attention to any of this until a lot of things happened about her after that.

Shang Qing remembered Master's words, "Du Xiaoxi doesn't look at her skills, but her existence can promote the development of the situation." "In short, it's the halo effect of the heroine, and there are a lot of problems where to go.

Fish farming in rice fields, the assassination of the emperor, the case of the replacement of the prison of the Criminal Department, the Liangqiu people in Nanling, and the massacre in Wuzhou, all happened naturally, if you carefully explore, you can really have something to do with Du Xiaoxi every time.

Since Master must have asked her to come over today, could it be that something big happened recently?

A few days ago, Master reminded him that the Broken Army Star would come out.

Does it have anything to do with this girl? You don't really want to eat meat and run out, do you?

Shang Qing thought about what the master said and slowly fell asleep. (To be continued.) )
