Aunt Xia is doing some needlework indoors, but she is also a dignified aunt, and she has given birth to twin daughters, and now she is hiding in a small temple in the wilderness, and she has to do things by herself. But Ji Bing'er was cheerful, she had just come back from practicing the sword with the master in the temple, and said while drinking water: "Mother rest for a while, I heard that the monster from the temple often screams in the middle of the night, which is quite scary, but my daughter didn't hear it." ”

Aunt Xia stopped what she was doing and knocked on Ji Bing'er's head, "You play crazy every day, and now you practice this Lao Shizi kung fu, and you sleep soundly at night, you just snore, where can you hear any sound." ”

Ji Bing'er pursed her lips and snickered for a while, picked up Xia's embroidered purse and looked at it, and exclaimed: "This plum blossom is the real thing, more beautiful than the piece of plum forest that the second sister passed by when she sent us away the year before last, I don't know how she is now?" ”

Aunt Xia sighed softly, since their mother and daughter were sent here by Ji Ling'er to avoid trouble, there has been no news of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she doesn't care about anything else, and their mothers and daughters are also used to it in the Prime Minister's Mansion. She was just worried about Xue'er, that girl was obsessed, and finally ended up getting pregnant unmarried, and she didn't know that Xiangye could spare her.

The mother and daughter were thinking about their own thoughts, the door was gently knocked a few times from the outside, Ji Bing'er ran to the door in a few steps, opened it and said, "I guess it's Mrs. Shi's, this fragrance is fragrant." ”

Aunt Xia and the Shuxing Shitai who came in were all amused by Ji Bing'er's gluttony, and the Shitai put down the tray in her hand, on which were two bowls of green japonica rice osmanthus porridge, because a few wolfberries were placed on it, it looked even more bright and attractive.

"Mrs. Shi is only used to me, an ignorant girl, who marries her in-laws one day, but let her suffer some hardships." Xia looked at Ji Bing'er dotingly, this girl was already impatient to take a spoon and start eating.

Hearing her mother mention these things again, Ji Bing'er raised her head unhappily, "My daughter will never have the idea of getting married in this life, and my mother will accompany you when she is there. ”

Xia knew Ji Bing'er's knot. I only sighed secretly, and I didn't want to say anything more. However, Master Shuxing explained: "People say that the son can't help her mother, and the old lady only goes with her, so I can't say that Bing'er will meet a wishful husband and marry her one day." ”

These words made Ji Bing'er's face crimson with shame. Putting down the spoon, he ran out without eating the porridge. Xia Shi and Shuxing Shi Tai were happy, so they said some common words to each other, and Xia Shi took out the shoes with mille-feuille soles made for Shi Tai and gave it to her.

Ji Bing'er ran out without finishing a bowl of porridge, thinking that the lotus flowers in the pond next to the temple should bloom. Take a look around, maybe you can pick a few lotus pods and come back, and you can drink lotus seed porridge tomorrow. It's a remote place, and you can't buy anything with silver, so if you want to eat something rare, you have to think of it yourself.

In ancient times, there were often nuns' nunnery next to the temple, generally the temple was slightly larger, and the nunnery was slightly smaller.

Sunset. The afterglow of the setting sun casts on the sparkling lake, a few dragonflies shuttle among the lotus leaves, and the occasional frog croaks. Ji Bing'er found a place near the water, took off her shoes and tread water to play, the lake water was cool and very comfortable. I was so engrossed in the fun that I didn't notice that a small boat quietly rowed over, and the boy on the boat, fifteen or sixteen years old, with bronzed skin, was dressed in a coarse cloth shirt, and had a bun on his head. Wrap it up with a ribbon.

"Wild girl, your mother knows that you are going to be scolded again when you play in the water like this, be careful of snakes in the water." The boy looked at Ji Bing'er with a smile and stood up in a panic.

"Stinky Ding Tong, it will scare me. Be careful I tell your dad and let him break your legs! Ji Bing'er looked angry with her hands stuck on her waist.

"I'm going to tell your mother, you're alone at the lake to play in the water." The boy known as Ding Tong showed no weakness.

"Okay, reconcile, didn't bring me any good things today, tomorrow I'll ask my mother to make another pair of shoes like last time for you to wear." Every time. is on par, the two always shake hands and make peace after quarrelling.

"Don't bother her old man, I was scolded by my father for a few days last time when the shoes were there, saying that it was a pity to wear such a precious thing on my feet, or straw shoes for me to wear." Ding Tong was very aggrieved and complained.

Ji Bing'er listened to these words very comfortably, so much so that she made up for Ding Tong's appearance when she was scolded, and the more she thought about it, the happier she became, and in the end, she laughed out loud. Ding Tong also smiled and touched his head embarrassedly, and looked at Ji Bing'er, who was smirking, 'hehe' Zhile.

Ji Bing'er smiled, stood up and said, "But I went to the town again today, did you bring any rare things?" “

As the eldest lady Ji Bing'er, although she is not very valued in the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is also the mansion of the Prime Minister of the Great Zhou, and Rao is an ordinary official eunuch is still incomparable, let alone such a small place. Therefore, the rare things that Bing'er said are just some novel gadgets in the place, which are fresh and taken out to play when they are bored.

Ding Tong remembered something at this time, and said seriously: "Don't say it, I was going to go to the market with my father when I got up this morning, but someone from the temple said that he asked the old man to help make some dishes. ”

"Tsk" Ji Bing'er sighed repeatedly, she knows this gold bar, a kind of fish that is not big, the largest is the length of chopsticks, few spines, and delicate meat, no matter whether it is boiled and fried, it is very delicious, but this kind of fish is very picky, and it must be in that extremely clear and sweet water. The number is small, and the price is much more expensive than ordinary ones, so it seems that the abbot of the temple has also spent a lot of money today. But who is coming, this faction, Bing'er wants to meet.

"You're going to pick up your father, I'm just idle, how about we go to the temple to have fun together?"

Ding Tong is naturally no problem, the abbot of the temple, Lang Xing, is much more enthusiastic about Ji Bing'er than he is about himself, and every time the young lady screams shortly, serving delicious food and drink, but even so, Ji Bing'er doesn't care much about the bald donkey, and even rarely even goes.

The two walked all the way along the path, and after a while, they arrived at the door of the temple, and the little novice who was guarding the door saw Ji Bing'er coming, nodded and invited the two to come in.

Bing'er was absent-minded, just looking at the changes in the courtyard, and at first glance saw a man talking to Monk Langxing with his back to him, as if he was a little familiar.

"Big brother, why are you here?" After going around to the front, Bing'er finally saw that the person who came was Ji Yu. Although they are not brothers and sisters of the same mother, they are related by blood, and they haven't seen each other for two years, but they are very cordial at this time.

Ji Yu is asking Lang Xing about his mother. But after talking for a long time, the monk only shook his head vigorously, completely ignorant of the meaning of the words of the eldest young master of the Prime Minister's mansion. At this time, Ji Bing'er came over, just to relieve the old monk's siege, Lang Xing hurriedly chanted 'Amitabha' and said, "The fifth lady came just in time." may be able to answer the question of the eldest young master, the old man does not know anything about Mrs. Xiangfu. ”

was secretly guessing the purpose of Ji Yu's coming, and when he heard Lang Xing say this, he also said strangely: "My mother and I came to recuperate for her old man's family, and Mrs. Why also came, I never know." "Xia's mother and daughter have lived here for a long time, and there are no eyes and ears in the capital, so they really don't know what happened.

"Bing'er, you really haven't seen my mother?" Ji Ran cleaned up and just came out of the room, just when he heard a few people talking.

Ji Bing'er was even more puzzled in her heart. It's not enough to have one, since both of them are here, there must be something in it. Pretending to be confused, he scratched his ears and cheeks and thought for a while and said: "It's really not, here my mother and I are outsiders, and the others are nothing more than nuns and monks, and then he fishes like this." ”

Ding Tong saw Bing'er pointing at him, and smiled innocently. Ji Ran glanced at him coldly with disdain, and Ding Tong turned his head and walked towards the backyard with disdain, but he took this eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The princess of Ruiwangfu was very angry. The mountains here are high and the emperor is far away, the people are simple, everyone eats with strength, and there is naturally no distinction between high and low in the concept. How could she get used to Ji Ran's self-righteous eldest lady's temper, especially when she met Ding Tong, who was also not easy to mess with.

Ji Ran jumped up angrily, and was about to scold, but was shocked by Ji Yu's eyes, and shouted when he first arrived, which was really undignified. Ji Ran glared angrily in the direction where Ding Tong left. I had to give up.

"My sister and I came here on the orders of my father and his old man, to take you and my aunt back to Beijing, don't be stupid, take us to meet my aunt, her old man is fine." Ji Yu said to Ji Bing'er with a brotherly demeanor.

Take us back, don't go to the Hongmen banquet, Ji Bing'er suddenly beat the drum in her heart, if this is the case, she really can't accept it for a while. I have lived here for two years, although life is a little harder, but I live freely, and I am more willing to play freely in this vast wilderness than the cage-like Xiangfu.

"Fifth sister, what are you thinking, don't take us over yet." Ji Ran was obviously a little impatient and urged.

Ji Bing'er had no choice but to lead the way in front and lead her two half-brothers and sisters to the nunnery.

Xia had just sent away Master Shuxing, and suddenly heard a knock outside the door, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that the old nun really pulled down the tray that had just sent something, so he picked it up and walked to the door, opened the door and smiled, "Old guy." ”

Just this sentence, it stopped abruptly after seeing Ji Ran and Ji Yu, and choked for a long time before saying, "Why are you here?" ”

"Mother, the two brothers and sisters are here to take us back to the capital, why don't you invite them in to sit down?"

Xia Shi hurriedly opened the door and invited the two of them into the room, and was busy making tea, thinking carefully about how the two of them were used to drinking this tea after it was still last year's old tea, which had not been touched for a year. Holding a teapot and not knowing what to do, the pestle stayed where it was.

"Mother, don't be busy, we have a hard place here, and my brother and sister also know it, only this white water is excellent, it is all spring water in the mountains, and it is several times better than the well water in the capital." Ji Bing'er took the teapot in her mother's hand and happily made two cups of boiled water for the two.

Ji Ran was stunned, when did the fifth sister become so generous, thinking that she was just a little girl who cowered and hid behind adults in everything, today's behavior really impressed her. Intentionally tested her and said: "The fifth sister is really a female college eighteen, more and more beautiful, my father specially instructed us to take you back, I don't know if there is a suitable person to introduce to you, and my aunt will be at ease in the future." ”

Ji Bing'er was told about the wound by Ji Ran, and the smile on her face suddenly disappeared without a trace, she was really afraid of something. But Xia Shi heard these and said: "If Xiangye really said so, I knew that he would never forget our mother and daughter, but he just took pity on my Xue'er." After speaking, sorrow rose from it, and tears came down.

Ji Ran was most annoyed by this, and wanted to say something about Ji Xue'er's own fault, but when she saw Ji Yu's face change, she swallowed back.

But Ji Bing'er understands people, how can my mother cry in front of my sister's rival, she is really confused, so she changed the topic, "Don't be sad, I heard that Mrs. also came to Zongmiao, and my daughter was confused all day long, but I didn't hear any rumors at all, and your old man didn't say a word to me, I have to go and see it, isn't it filial piety?" ”

Xia Shi was frightened by this series of accidents, wiped away his tears and said: "How did you say this, why did Mrs. also come, didn't Xiangye also ask him to come and pick up our mother and daughter?" After speaking, he blamed himself again and again: "Look at me as an old man, I am something that can fatigue Mrs. and her driver, but I didn't come to pick us up, what did I do?" "It's not a taboo day, and it's not the need for incense for the New Year's Festival, Xia really can't remember why the Liu family came over with all his might.

Ji Yu saw that this mother and daughter really didn't know about their mother, and they didn't bother to say anything more, so they just waited for themselves to go back to the old monk and inquire slowly, Hengzhu had already arrived here, and he was not in a hurry for a while.

The old nun in the nunnery had already received the news and knew that the eldest lady and the eldest young master in the prime minister's mansion were here, so she hurriedly instructed the cook to make some good food and drink, and left the two of them here to have breakfast before going back. Not to mention anything else, the daily expenses of this nunnery are inseparable from the Xiangfu, and the parents naturally dare not treat it slowly.

The meal was tasteless, where did the four of them have anything to say, and they each had a mustard in their hearts, so they just coping with it, eating seven, seven, eight, eight, eight, and eight, Ji Ran took the lead in standing up, only saying that he had worked hard all the way, and now he was tired and couldn't go back to rest immediately.

Ji Yu also echoed and stood up, the two said goodbye and left, and Xia asked Ji Bing'er to send the general out, which can be regarded as a bit of landlord friendship. (To be continued.) )
