On February 1st, all the female dependents of the Zhou Mansion packed up and dressed neatly and prepared to go to the Dawuxiang Temple in Xiangshan to burn incense and worship the Buddha for three days.

The day before, when Lan's mother went out again, Zhou Xiaofu specially explained, don't say anything about Qingbi going with her, and then say that Qingbi heard about the marriage line of the old temple this month the night before, so she decided to come temporarily.

Early in the morning, Zhou Xiaofu cleaned up her side, and also let Qingbi clean up, the ladies in the house here went out to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and the carriage used four, all Lan's mothers and their subordinates could only rent in advance, and Zhou Xiaofu asked Zining to go to the outside car shop the night before to rent a carriage that could go long distances.

Zhou Xiaofu was standing outside the far gate wearing Dayu and Zining, and the ladies were still coming over one after another, Zhou Xiaofu came out in advance because she wanted to send off Lan's mother.

I saw Mother Lan talking to a mother-in-law who looked five big and three thick with eyebrows, this mother-in-law squinted at Qingbi, who was petite and shy, nodded and the three of them got into the carriage, before getting into the carriage, Qingbi turned around and nodded at Zhou Xiaofu at the door and turned into the car.

Zhou Xiaofu This is the first time she has seen Mrs. Su, how can she be divided into a dim sum room if she is five big and three thick, this person doesn't look kind at all, but there should be nothing wrong with Qingbi with her.

Soon I saw the twins in the second room come out, and I looked left and right before I saw her, and I saw Zhou Xiaobin pouting and said a little unhappily: "Fourth sister, why don't you wait for me and my sister, we went to your yard just now, Cuihua said that you have already come out." ”

Zhou Xiaofu took out a handkerchief from her arms, stepped forward and carefully wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead for Zhou Xiaobin, and then said gently: "Today, Mother Lan is going to go to incense with Mother Su in the dim sum room." It also came out early along the way. ”

Zhou Xiaolan saw Zhou Xiaofu wiping her sister's sweat, and stepped forward with a warm heart: "Where to go to incense, why don't you go with us?" ”

Zhou Xiaofu explained in a slightly louder voice: "It's the Yuelao Temple at the foot of Liupan Mountain. ”

The corners of Zhou Xiaolan's eyes curled. Seeing Zhou Xiaofu's suddenly loud voice, he was puzzled, but still asked: "How can you go so far, that realm is not very peaceful, I heard that the bandits in the vicinity are still quite strict." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xiaobin grabbed Zhou Xiaofu's arm a little nervously and said, "Oh, or get Mother Lan back." Why do you have to go so far to make incense? ”

Zhou Xiaofu was very pleased with Zhou Xiaobin's nervousness about Lan's mother, and it was not in vain that Lan's mother made her a dress. He pretended to be worried and said: "Who said no, Mother Su of this heart room said that there is a marriage line in the old temple this month is very effective, no." Mother Lan has to go, she can't stop her, I have been persuaded for a few days, and I still want to go. I had to arrange a carriage. But fortunately, Qingbi also wanted to go and see and accompany her, otherwise I would have been really worried about death. ”

Zhou Xiaobin listened to Zhou Xiaofu's words and felt a little disobedient there, these four sisters are not people who talk a lot on weekdays, and they have a fight with their sisters, some of them have black bellies, how can they explain the matter of a mother's incense so thoroughly today, and the voice seems to be a little loud.

Zhou Xiaolan quickly seemed to understand the meaning of Zhou Xiaofu's words, and also said: "It's okay, it's all under the rule of Wang Zhizhi of the Kaiyuan Dynasty." Where are there so many bandits, don't think about it. ”

As he spoke. These words were completely listened to by the big house He family, as well as Zhou Xiaoxi, and a few maids-in-law.

And Zhou Xiaoxi frowned, looked at Zhou Xiaofu, and turned her head.

Soon Ye Xinlan appeared with her daughter, and then the old lady also came out with Mama Cheng.

There are many people who go today, and the whole house except for the Ma family in the second room did not go, because the old lady suddenly felt that there was no one in charge of the house, after all, it was necessary to go out for three days, and the gentlemen in the house had to go to the government, and the small ones had to go to school to eat and drink, and someone had to take care of them, so they couldn't all the female dependents travel, so they left the Ma family who was recently with the big house.

However, Ma Shi did not complain at all, for the housekeeper, she has been very fond of it recently, she likes the feeling of commanding people to work, and she has the feeling of being a superior, so it is a kind of trust for her to leave her housekeeper for the old lady, and even makes her feel that it is a sign that the entire house will be under her control in the near future.

Everyone quickly divided the carriage, and the old lady called Zhou Xiaoxi and Zhou Xiaolan to sit in her carriage, while He, Ye Xinlan, and Zhou Xiaobian sat together. In the end, Zhou Xiaofu, Zhou Xiaobin, and Zhou Xiaohu, who was a little nervous, sat in the last somewhat small carriage, and Zhou Xiaobin pouted from beginning to end, but did not say anything under Zhou Xiaofu's signal.

There was a small charcoal brazier in the middle of the carriage, which was warm, and the carriage was a little smaller, and the legs could be stretched, but it was not wide enough, and the furnishings inside were not good enough, only three warm cushions were placed, and there was only one cage at the front.

After getting into the car, Zi Ning handed the small basket she was carrying to Zhou Xiaofu before turning around and going to the carriage behind.

Zhou Xiaofu took the basket and put it on the innermost cage, and after entering, she took off the big basket and turned it over and wrapped it and put it in the innermost part of the car, and Zhou Xiaobin and Zhou Xiaohu also did so in turn.

Soon the carriage moved, and Zhou Xiaobin turned his head to Zhou Xiaofu and said, "Hmph, grandmother likes that granddaughter for a while." ”

Zhou Xiaofu glanced at Zhou Xiaohu, who was a little nervous, before smiling at Zhou Xiaobin and said, "Why are you jealous of the second sister, you want to accompany your grandmother so much, you are so filial, I have to tell my grandmother later, otherwise some people will be disappointed." ”

When Zhou Xiaobin heard Zhou Xiaofu tease her, he became happy: "Where am I jealous." After speaking, he glanced at Zhou Xiaohu, who was sitting quietly on the side, and stopped talking.

In fact, Zhou Xiaobin is not stupid compared to the second sister, but her temperament is too straight and simple, looking at outsiders, she won't talk much after complaining at most, after all, they are not familiar with Zhou Xiaohu, seeing that this little girl has a good temperament or something, but no one knows what kind of thoughts she has.

Recently, there are more people who go up the mountain to burn incense, and the emperor on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year also came to burn incense in person, so there is basically not much snow left on the road, only the dry road, but it is not slippery at all, especially the section of the road up the mountain is still specially cleaned by the army.

It's also a lot faster to go up the hill this way.

After the old lady arrived at the main courtyard to live, He and the eldest sister lived in a room, and Ye Xinlan and Zhou Xiaoxuan lived together, and the last four girls lived in the backmost suite, which was not like the Babu bed in the house, but the blue brick fire kang around the back wall.

As soon as he entered the room, Zhou Xiaobin stepped forward to take a look, this earthy thing was unexpectedly hot, with a hurried mattress on it, and a long futon with saucers on the cage on the kang.

Zhou Xiaobin looked around curiously for a long time before he said happily to Zhou Xiaolan: "Sister, it's really interesting here, are the four of us going to sleep together tonight?" ”

Zhou Xiaolan smiled and nodded without words, turned to Zhou Xiaofu and said, "Fourth sister, put the things on the kang first, the maids will come in and clean up after a while, we will stay here for three nights." ”

Zhou Xiaofu responded with a smile, put the basket in her hand on the table against the corner of the wall, and then sat on the kang and reached out to touch it, and said happily to Zhou Xiaobin: "Third sister, this kang is really a good thing, it is much more comfortable than the bed, it is warm, you can come up and try it." ”

Zhou Xiaobin also sat down happily when he heard this, and Zhou Xiaohu, who was standing on the side, looked at them curiously.

Zhou Xiaolan, who has been teaching Zhou Xiaohu to write, has recently had a trace of master-apprentice love with this little girl, this little girl doesn't look young, but she has a tough temperament, and she has made great progress in learning words, and every time she mentions the shortcomings have been gradually corrected, Zhou Xiaolan is very experienced in learning words, she likes to write, in order to write a word is always practiced a hundred times, many small problems are not you can change them, and Zhou Xiaohu will always make progress in the second handing in the practice of words, which is not something that talent can explain, It's more about practicing in private, and she can also see that Zhou Xiaohu doesn't have a few notebooks, and it is estimated that there is not much blank paper, so it is estimated that he wrote it on the table with water in it, and he dared to write it on paper when he was done.

She didn't know much about Zhou Xiaohu, she didn't know what this little girl was thinking, but for now, she saw her hard work and tenacity, and she was more or less distressed in her heart.

Zhou Xiaolan, who was full of thoughts, looked at Zhou Xiaohu who was standing on the side, and couldn't help but raise a gentle smile on his face, and said softly: "Why did you come out and be so restrained, they are all your own sisters, you can also go up and take a look at this fire kang." ”

Zhou Xiaohu's originally delicate face turned red when he heard Zhou Xiaobin's words, and he cautiously walked to the kang and sat on tiptoe, where could he climb up and sit again like Zhou Xiaobin.

Zhou Xiaofu on the side glanced at it and didn't speak.

And this week, Xiaohu's face was still a little red and said: "Second sister, my aunt and I used to live on the kang in Zhuangzi. ”

This explains why she is not curious about the ondol.

Zhou Xiaolan nodded and sat on the chair on the side, and soon the Qingbi, Qingmei, and Zhou Xiaobin's maid Qinglian came in, and quickly packed up the clothes brought by his master, only Zhou Xiaohu looked at it dryly.

Only then did Zhou Xiaofu notice that Zhou Xiaohu didn't bring the maid over this time, but he brought a small burden when he entered the door, I'm afraid it was a change of clothes.

And Zhou Xiaobin, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, asked again: "Sixth sister, you don't have a maid yet?" (To be continued......)
