Chapter 077: Acquaintances
Chapter 077 Acquaintance (Second Request for Pink Ticket~~)
Tracking a person is hard.
Ling Qingyun is a young girl, and Ling Qingtong is a young child. In comparison, it was easier for him to hide in the crowd than Ling Qingyun.
Therefore, Ling Qingyun followed from afar, gritted her teeth and followed his footsteps, gradually moving away from the bustling and lively city.
At a corner, Ling Qingyun finally lost it.
Worst of all, she couldn't remember how she got here. Taiyuan Mansion is an important town in the northwest after the capital, even if Lu Yu was born and grew up here, it is impossible to be familiar with every place.
Where she is now, she is very strange.
Ling Qingyun bit her lip and thought to herself what to do.
Suddenly, a blue-blue figure came out from behind the earthen wall and blocked in front of Ling Qingyun.
Ling Qingyun was startled.
Looking at it closely, it was actually her younger brother Ling Qingtong, and Ling Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief. After thinking about it, he had already discovered Ling Qingyun?
Ling Qingyun's face was slightly hot, and she was about to explain with a smile, but Ling Qingtong had already spoken: "Second sister, what are you doing with me?" β
Ling Qingyun was surprised, and after a pause, she decided to bite back, and said, "You are sneaky, what are you doing here?" β
Ling Qingtong's expression was calm, and he said, "I'm going to a place, do you want to go too?" β
"Where?" Ling Qingyun was suspicious.
"You'll know when you go." Ling Qingtong said, "Are you going?" β
"Go." Ling Qingyun said.
If she doesn't go, what is she doing with her?
Besides, she can't go back by herself.
Ling Qingtong nodded, leading the way. Because he no longer had to avoid Ling Qingyun, his pace slowed down, and Ling Qingyun didn't have to pant to follow him.
The two walked through many neighborhoods and finally stopped in front of a small temple.
This temple was built in the south of the city, near the city gate, where incense was scarce. Not a festival, almost off the beaten track.
When Ling Qingyun's sister and brother arrived here to talk, in the incense burner at the entrance of the small temple, a few thin wisps of green smoke were sparse. There was a little nun at the door, sitting on the steps and napping.
The afternoon sun is golden and warm, making it easy to get sleepy.
"Donor, is it incense? Today, the master is not at home, only the third senior sister is there. "The little nun had shaved her head, was about twelve or thirteen years old, had red lips and white teeth, and had a soft and gentle voice.
When she saw someone coming, she was immediately awakened.
She spoke a Taiyuan dialect, which Ling Qingyun could understand.
Ling Qingyun looked at this child, a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere. In particular, her nose and mouth are even more familiar.
Ling Qingyun was slightly stunned. She is not sensitive to people's appearances, and it will not feel familiar until she has really seen them somewhere.
"Are you Nianru?" Ling Qingtong asked her directly, "Is your third senior sister Nianci, and is your master Mingding Shitai?" β
Ling Qingtong spoke official language.
The little nun opened her mouth wide in surprise, looking innocent and delicate. He was surprised that Ling Qingtong was not from Taiyuan, and he was also surprised by his guess.
It can be seen that Ling Qingtong guessed correctly.
Ling Qingyun was stunned and turned her head to look at her younger brother. If she remembered correctly, Ling Qingtong, like Ling Qingyun, hadn't set foot in Taiyuan Mansion for several years.
Why is he so familiar with the small temple of people in Taiyuan Mansion?
This is not a famous temple.
"The donor knows me?" The little nun asked in surprise, and she also talked to them in a broken official dialect, "The family teacher is none other than Mrs. Mingding." However, she was not at home today, and went to the city to give peace charms to the wives."
If you want to receive incense from all over the world in the temple, you must learn some official language. Nianru is not proficient in learning, and she stumbles and speaks, which is not as easy to understand as her Taiyuan dialect.
"Hmm." Ling Qingtong nodded, "Don't wait for your master, let's just go in and say goodbye." Then he turned his head and said to Ling Qingyun, "Second sister, did you bring incense money with you?" I don't have any money."
Ling Qingyun hurriedly said, "Bring it." β
The little nun smiled, surprised, and did not defend Ling Qingtong at all, and led them to the temple.
She smiled back.
In a flash of light, Ling Qingyun suddenly thought of who this child looked like, and her face changed slightly.
Ling Qingyun grabbed her brother's sleeve and asked, "Tong'er, what the hell are you doing?" β
Ling Qingtong ignored her and followed the little nun inside.
They put on incense, and Ling Qingyun gave two taels of silver for sesame oil. The little nun was very happy and asked her senior sister Nianci to come out.
"I want to take a sip of tea and go back." Ling Qingtong said to Nian Ru, "You make us tea, right?" β
There is a small room at the back for pilgrims to settle in. It is common for nuns to offer tea and vegetarian food.
Nianru's senior sister Nian Ci saw that Ling Qingtong was just a young child, and with Ling Qingyun, an older girl, present, she was not afraid of anything, so she left her junior sister and went to the backyard by herself.
Nianci was very indifferent, knowing that the little pilgrims didn't have much oil and water, so she lazily went back and handed it to her junior sister for hospitality.
Nianru led them to the small room next door and served them tea.
Ling Qingyun looked at the little nun, and the more she looked at it, the more frightened she became. Suddenly, she thought of a lot of past events, and she was stunned.
"Did you get sick last winter?" Ling Qingyun took advantage of the little nun's tea-making efforts and asked her softly.
The little nun slapped her hand and said with a smile: "I was born, I was sick and was about to die." The master also took me to the capital for medical treatment, and later recovered, and the master said that I was blessed with a great life. The two donors can guess my name and I am sick, so am I not the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva? β
She was innocent, looking at Ling Qingyun and Ling Qingtong with a smile, and she didn't feel that their sister and brother had anything to say.
Ling Qingyun's heart ached slightly.
"Ninru, do you respect the Bodhisattva?" Ling Qingtong asked her.
Nian Rushen nodded emphatically, and said with a stern face: "Natural respect!" β
"Then I am the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva, are you willing to go back with me and serve me?" Ling Qingtong asked her, "Are you willing to stay in the temple and serve the mud bodhisattva, or are you willing to go back with me and serve me, a living bodhisattva?" β
If it is an old and slick man, it is frivolous and flirtatious to say these words.
But Ling Qingtong was young, and his face was pure, so he asked this little nun very seriously.
Ling Qingyun stepped heavily on her brother under the table. Although Ling Qingyun still didn't know what was going on, she already knew the general situation.
She couldn't let Ling Qingtong mess around.
Without the consent of his mother and eldest brother, taking this child back is afraid that it will cause an uproar. Besides, what the hell is going on, Ling Qingyun is just guessing and doesn't understand.
At the same time, Ling Qingyun was also surprised: Her younger brother is only thirteen years old, how can he be full of worries and calculations? Today's qiΔ, he seems to have calculated it since he came to Taiyuan Mansion.
He's going to take this girl back!
"I picked it up by the master, and the master asked me to go, so I could go." Nianru's eyes widened, and she looked at Ling Qingtong in astonishment, "Are you really a living bodhisattva?" β
She will be skeptical.
Ling Qingtong nodded very strictly.
"Then who do you say my father and mother are, and where do they come from?" Nianru looked at Ling Qingtong expectantly.
She seemed to be curious to know who her father and mother were, why they abandoned her and made her a nun with Master.
Ling Qingyun's heart tightened again.
"I don't know about this." Ling Qingtong said, "However, I know that every New Year's Day, someone sends you rice and food, as well as delicious and fun, among which there must be a pair of tiger head shoes, from the yellow velvet tiger, you already have thirteen pairs, right?" β
Nianru's mouth opened wide in surprise.
She jumped up in surprise, and the tea was not there, and said to Ling Qingtong: "You are really a living bodhisattva!" β
She didn't doubt that Ling Qingtong had something to say.
"I'm going to tell Senior Sister SΓΉ that there is a living Bodhisattva in our temple." Nianru was very excited and ran away in a hurry.
When she ran away, Ling Qingyun's face was tense and she asked Ling Qingtong, "What are you doing!" β
"I lack a maid, so I asked her master for her and brought her back to serve me!" Ling Qingtong said, "I just like her like this."
He took it for granted.
Ling Qingyun felt that he was terrifyingly calm, not at all like a thirteen-year-old child.
Because Ling Qingyun herself is Lu Yufu's body, she can understand a lot of things. She grabbed Ling Qingtong's hand and asked him in a low voice, "Tong'er, what's wrong with you?" You're weird today, you know? β
Ling Qingtong shook her hand back.
In the end, it was just a child, Ling Qingtong's palm was warm and soft. He shook Ling Qingyun's hand back and said, "Second sister, you help me, let's take this child back." I will ask her to be my daughter-in-law in the future. β
Ling Qingyun was shocked.
As they talked, Nianru pulled her senior sister Nianci in. Nian Ru was still very excited, and quickly said that Ling Qingtong and Ling Qingyun could calculate anything, and told Nian Ci.
Nian Ci's eyes were full of vigilance.
Nian Ci ignored the excitement of her junior sister, and said to Ling Qingyun and Ling Qingtong in a cold voice: "Two donors, the family teacher will come back later, why don't you two come back another day later?" β
Nian Ci spoke in official language. Compared with the lame pronunciation of official dialect, Nianci's official dialect is very smooth, like a local in Beijing.
This is an eviction order.
Ling Qingyun thought that they had been out for a long time, and they hadn't explained to anyone, and they would have to look for them everywhere when they went back to their grandmother's mansion.
"Let's go?" Ling Qingyun pulled her younger brother, "We'll come back another day." β
Ling Qingtong stood up.
He walked up to Nianru and said to her, "I'll come to play with you tomorrow and bring you your favorite red bean cake and candied fruit." β
Nianru's eyes immediately lit up, and said, "Okay, good." β
She didn't feel that Ling Qingtong even knew her tastes very strangely, but her senior sister Nian Ci frowned slightly.
Nian Ci glanced at Ling Qingyun again, as if she had found something, and after a few more glances, her face changed slightly.
Nian Ci is seventeen or eighteen years old today, and he is already sensible.
She understood, but remained silent and didn't ask anything.
Nianru was very happy to send Ling Qingyun and Ling Qingtong to the gate of the temple.
She repeatedly told Ling Qingtong: "Living Immortals, you come to play again tomorrow, if my master sees you, he will be very happy." β
Ling Qingtong nodded.
Nianru's senior sister Nianci came out, hesitated again and again, and said: "Aren't the two of you from Taiyuan Mansion, are you from Beijing?" β
"Yes." Ling Qingtong did not shy away from answering and replied.
"What's the last name?" Nian Ci asked again.
"The surname is Ling, from the Jin State Mansion." Ling Qingtong said.
Nian Ci's face suddenly changed greatly, and he took a few steps back slightly.
"Senior sister, what's wrong with you?" Nian Ru was puzzled and looked at her senior sister.
