Zhou Shaojin suppressed the strangeness in her heart and walked forward with Mama Shi, and a little girl dressed in red pinched onions and green buds and dressed as a maid greeted her with a smile: "Mama Shi, you're back!" ”

She was wronged to Mrs. Guan and Zhou Shaojin: "Lao Anren! Second Miss! ”

Zhou Shaojin didn't know her, seeing that she was only fourteen or fifteen years old, with apricot eyes and peach cheeks, her eyes flowing with a smile, fresh and charming, very outstanding, and she couldn't help but look at her twice.

Mrs. Guan was obviously very familiar with this little girl, and said with a smile: "Pearl, I haven't seen you for some days, and you are becoming more and more peugeot." ”

"Don't dare to be praised by Lao An." The maid, who was called Pearl, said with a smile, "The old lady is waiting for the second lady, but I didn't expect Lao An to come over......"

Without saying a word, another maid came over.

She wore a light green plain silk silk armor, seventeen or eighteen years old, with a long face, willow eyebrows, black hair combed, a gold-inlaid hibiscus stone apricot flower hairpin, a gentle smile, and a dignified demeanor, which had no trace of similarity with the pearl.

Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but secretly wonder in his heart.

I don't know what the other maids in Mrs. Guo's house look like?

"Lao Anren!" She gave a blessing to Mrs. Guan and said, "Our old lady didn't expect you to come over in person, and if you are rude, please forgive me." ”

"It turned out to be Jasper!" Old Mrs. Guan laughed a few times and said, "It's me who came uninvited, what does it have to do with your old lady?" Hurry up, no need to be polite. ”

The maid known as Jasper stood up with a smile and said, "Lao Anren, our old lady invites you to go to the hall to serve tea first." ”

Old Mrs. Guan nodded and said to Zhou Shaojin: "This is the jade girl next to the old lady, you have to trouble her in the future." ”

Zhou Shaojin smiled and called "Jade Girl".

A slight discoloration flashed in Jasper's eyes, and she hurriedly curtsied and saluted, "The second lady tortures the slave." ”

Her tone was very modest, which made Zhou Shaojin feel good.

The group continued to walk forward.

At the end of the corridor is a two-storey five-wide building. The wall is white, white, the window tower, the door is red, pasted with tender yellow yarn, a grape in front of the door, a blue and white porcelain vat is placed on the left and right, while raising water lilies, while raising koi carp, very magnificent, but exquisite.

A maid dressed in a lilac-colored pinched bean and a green bud edge armor appeared to help them tie the curtain.

Only then did Zhou Shaojin notice that Mrs. Guo had replaced the bamboo curtain here.

The slightly yellowed bamboo curtain is dotted with purple spots, looking at the Xiangfei bamboo curtain that is some years old, and the ornamental horns are actually two jade lion rolling hydrangeas the size of baby fists!

The green jade water head is full, the exquisite carving is lifelike, not only the lion's naïve state is clearly visible, but also the treasure pattern on the hydrangea held by the lion in his arms can also be seen clearly.

Zhou Shaojin was shocked.

In her previous life, she married to the Lin family in the first year, her mother-in-law's birthday, she had made a special trip to the largest silver building in the capital, Yongfusheng, and wanted to order a piece for her mother-in-law, and picked it up for most of the day, and finally selected a piece of jadeite the size of this lion ball embroidery, and the water head was not as good as it, and it cost almost two hundred taels of silver......

Everyone says that Sanfang is rich, but they don't see such a grand style as Changfang.

It's no wonder that everyone usually lowers their voices consciously or unconsciously when they speak in front of Mrs. Yuan.

Pearl opened the curtain in front, and Zhou Shaojin followed Mrs. Guan into the hall.

It's just that before everyone could stand firmly, Mrs. Guo walked in from behind the middle hall with the help of a maid wearing a lilac pigment face pinching the edge of the colorful buds.

Zhou Shaojin saw that the maid was about the same age as Jasper, but she had long eyebrows and fine eyes, her skin was as bright as snow, her temperament was gentle, and she was another beauty, so she couldn't help but praise her in her heart.

This old lady Guo is really interesting.

She is cold, and the place where she lives is also solemn, but the maids around her are all charming, such as Qiu Ju Chunlan, each with its own value and praise.

And over there, Mrs. Yuan had already started to greet Mrs. Zhuang: "...... I didn't expect you to come. Don't leave at noon, stay with me for lunch. ”

"Okay!" Mrs. Guan looked very familiar with Mrs. Guo and said with a smile, "I ate a honey pigeon at your place last time, and I still can't forget it, and I just want to taste it again today." ”

"Don't worry!" Mrs. Guo said with a smile, "Today there are not only honey pigeons, but also crispy lamb chops and hot and sour soup that you like to eat." ”

Biyu listened and stopped.

Mrs. Guan smiled and said to her, "The two of us finally met together, so you don't care so much." If Mrs. Jing blames her, you will say that I want to eat! ”

At this time, it is about to enter summer, the honey pigeon is a sweet tooth, the lamb chops are ashamed, and the hot and sour soup is too tasteful, even the four rooms are not light to make these three dishes for Mrs. Guan, not to mention the long room.

Being able to manage the diet of Mrs. Guo, it must be the first-class lady of Hanbi Mountain House Biyu pursed her lips and smiled, and served them to sit down.

Zhou Shaojin was worried about lunch.

I don't know if I will meet the Yuan family who came to serve my mother-in-law!

There are maids dressed in real purple plain armor with a few little maids to serve them refreshments.

The maid has thick eyebrows and big eyes, smiles before speaking, looks lively and alert, and is also an outstanding character.

Zhou Shaojin had already seen pearls, jasper and the lilac-colored maid, but he was not surprised, and he was a little less curious.

When the two old men finished speaking, she stepped forward to greet Mrs. Guo.

Old Madam Guo looked at her and smiled kindly.

Zhou Shaojin didn't know where he got Mrs. Guo's favor, so he had to stand there and smile reservedly.

Mrs. Guo asked her, "What scriptures do you usually read?" ”

People who don't understand Buddhism usually choose to read the "Jizo Bodhisattva Sutra", and then they will follow their trusted Zen masters or choose to read the "Amitayus Sutra" or "Amitabha Sutra", "Fuxian Bodhisattva Wishes" and other sutras, only when the Buddhism is more sophisticated, will they read the "Yan Sutra", and only when they understand the "Yan Sutra", they can read the "Lotus Sutra" and "Diamond Sutra".

Considering his actual situation, Zhou Shaojin said cautiously: "I usually like to read the Amitabha Sutra. ”

Mrs. Guo nodded slightly, and said to Mrs. Guan: "I have already copied a handwritten copy of the "Diamond Sutra" for the Bodhisattva on the Buddha Bathing Festival, so let my second lady help me copy the "Yan Stunned Gold"!" Then he said to Zhou Shaojin, "If there is anything you don't understand, you can come and ask me." ”

There are ten parts of "Yan Stunned Sutra", which is very long......

Zhou Shaojin wiped the sweat in his heart, but he said "yes" respectfully and softly on his face.

After that, Mrs. Guo personally took her to the place where the scriptures were copied - a two-wide Buddhist hall located next to the Taihu Lake rockery in the back garden of the Hanbi Mountain House.

The Buddha hall is surrounded by painted glazed windows, red sandalwood beams and pillars, gilded Guanyin thousand hands statue, thick incense sticks, and the plate of fresh fruits is seven or eight inches.

Or because of her insecurity, Zhou Shaojin prefers her grandmother's small Buddha hall.

Mrs. Guo looked at the large calligraphy case of the curly grass under the window lattice on the east side of the Buddha hall and the Taishi chair covered with garcinia yellow kudzu cloth cushions: "That's for you to copy the scriptures." If we don't feel well, let's change places. ”

Zhou Shaojin originally thought that even if he was not good, he would be done, but when he thought that he would do everything in his previous life, he did not get a word of praise from the elders, but only suffered himself. What's more, what she wants to copy is a "Stunned Sutra", and it will take at least half a year.

She immediately changed her mind, thought about it, and stepped forward and pushed open the window.

Outside, there is a large locust tree that is higher than the eaves, and the canopy is like an umbrella, covering the roof of the wing, reflecting the thick green of the room. Looking into the distance, it is the shadow of half of the lake, and the sharp lotus leaves are faintly visible.

Zhou Shaojin can imagine what kind of cool scene it is here in summer.

Looking at the bookcase again, the ink and inkstone rice paper are all high-quality.

She liked it and smiled, "That's good." ”

Mrs. Guo looked at her pushing the window, smiled and bowed, pointed to the maid wearing a lilac bikina and said to Zhou Shaojin: "Her name is Jade, if you have anything in the future, just tell her." ”

Hearing this, Jade stepped forward to salute Zhou Shaojin.

Zhou Shaojin said a few words to her, "I will trouble my sister in the future" and something like that, Jade hurriedly said "I don't dare", and Mrs. Guo pointed to the one who wore purple than the armor and called Zhou Shaojin "agate". The agate had to be given to Zhou Shaojin, and everyone had a good time, even if Zhou Shaojin recognized the four big girls around Mrs. Guo.

According to Mrs. Guo's meaning, calling Zhou Shaojin today is just to familiarize herself with the environment, and after the eighth day of the fourth month, she will start to officially copy the scriptures, and said: "Anyway, there will be no two or three days to bathe the Buddha Festival, and it will not delay the efforts of this meeting." Academics can't be delayed. In the morning, I went to Jing'an Zhai to attend classes, and after the lunch break, came to my side to copy the scriptures. He added, "If it's already hot, come over for lunch, and I'll have someone prepare an inner room for her." ”

Zhou Shaojin is also ready to spare an hour and a half every day to finish copying the scriptures quickly, and has no intention of staying in Hanbi Mountain House for long. She was about to excuse herself, but Mrs. Guan smiled and said, "It's so good, so that I don't have to worry." ”

She had no choice but to swallow the words that had reached her lips.

Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Guan talked about the Buddha Bathing Festival: "Yi's nephew and daughter-in-law said that Zhi'er's daughter-in-law was pregnant with a child and wanted to stay at home to take care of the daughter-in-law of Zheng'er, and her mother-in-law went with us. The third room left Lu's nephew and daughter-in-law at home, saying that they wanted to help in the second room, and the third brother and sister brought the girl to go with us. How many people are you going to here? I'm good at arranging it here! ”

This was a twisting statement, and Zhou Shaojin understood it after reasoning.

Yi's nephew and daughter-in-law are the eldest Mrs. Yi in the second room, that is, Cheng Zhi's mother. And Zhi'er's daughter-in-law refers to Cheng Zhi's wife Zheng.

She married into the Cheng family five years ago, and gave birth to her eldest son, Cheng Geng, three years ago, and the first child among the great-grandchildren of the Cheng family, and it was a boy.

In the previous life, the child that Zheng was pregnant with was also a son, and it was born when he ate crabs in September. The ancestor of the second room was very happy, and therefore gave a piece of land to the Zheng family as private property.

Presumably, the second room didn't want to offend the long room, and he couldn't swallow this breath, so he had to use this as an excuse to leave Mrs. Yi, who was in charge of the feed, at home.

The third room is the same as before, and the two are not offended - Cheng Ji and her grandmother Li followed Mrs. Guo to the temple, while Cheng Ji's mother Jiang stayed at home on the grounds of "afraid that the second room would have to help".

Sisters, there are more characters, and they are all very important and can't be reduced, it's easy to know who is who after chasing a chapter a day, otherwise your head will be dizzy when you look at it in one breath.
