Chapter 57: Jingci Nunnery

Fat chapter, ask for a monthly pass

******

Ji Xiaotang believes in Yang Pianpian and Yang, and she believes in her own vision of seeing people.

"People change." Qin Zhen disagreed, "Moreover, you haven't known them for a long time." ”

"I believe that they can clear up the major issues of right and wrong. Moreover, the two of them, I am willing to save them. Ji Xiaotang told Qin Zhen.

"At the end of the day, you still want to save them." Qin Zhen smiled.

Ji Xiaotang did not deny it: "Yes." ”

The two of them walked slowly by the pond, and suddenly a little girl came to report that Qi You was coming.

Qi Younian came to find Ji Xiaotang.

"Xiaotang, you forgot, said okay, when you come back from the palace, we will go to a place." Qin Zhen was next to him, and Qi Younian was very calm.

"Of course I haven't forgotten." As Ji Xiaotang spoke, he glanced at Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen touched his nose, of course he felt it, the three of them were here, and he had become the persona non grata at the moment.

"If you two go out like this, aren't you afraid that you will be seen by Changning's eyeliner and cause trouble for Xiaotang?" Qin Zhen said.

For this, of course, Qi Younian also thought of it.

"I've arranged it so that no one will find out. Moreover, when Xiaotang and I come back, we won't have to hide anymore. Qi Younian said with a smile.

"Oh......" Qin Zhen showed a sudden look, he knew where Qi Younian was going to take Ji Xiaotang. That's a good idea. ”

"Seems like something, you all know. Only I don't know. Ji Xiaotang watched Qin Zhen and Qi Younian exchange glances from the side, and asked.

"Xiaotang, don't worry, you'll know soon." Qi Younian appeased Ji Xiaotang.

"Now that you've decided. For the sake of safety, I'll do you a favor. Qin Zhen thought about it and said.

What Qin Zhen wants to help is to use his people to cover for Qi Younian and Ji Xiaotang.

This is naturally more secure than Qi Younian's own arrangement.

Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian both thanked Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen waved his hand.

"The hour is getting late, and as far as I know, the one you are going to see is not a good-natured person, though it may be different for Ayo. But. You'd better hurry up. ”

Qin Zhen left Xinhuatang and said that he wanted to play chess with Second Master Ji, while Ji Xiaotang was busy changing his clothes.

Although I don't know who Qi Younian took her to meet yet. But she had already vaguely guessed that this person was very important to Qi Younian, and it might determine the future of her and Qi Younian.

Before going to change clothes, Ji Xiaotang also discussed with Qi Younian.

“…… There are no taboos. What should I pay attention to when I wear it? ”

Qi Younian smiled. He didn't know that Ji Xiaotang also had gains and losses, was it because he guessed who the person they were going to see was?

“…… There are no taboos. You just wear these. If you have to say likes and dislikes, Zu ...... She likes girls to dress up brightly. ”

"Then I see." Ji Xiaotang understood, and immediately went back to Yanhuatang to change into the latest summer dress made for her by Mrs. Ji Er. She usually doesn't dress up, but in order to meet people with Qi Younian, she deliberately applied some fat powder, and she was satisfied in the mirror. only then did he come out to see Qi Younian again.

"Ayo, look. That's good. ”

Ji Xiaotang turned around in front of Qi Younian, so that he could see himself more clearly.

She is naturally beautiful, and when she dresses up a little, she is even more picturesque and eye-catching.

Qi Younian was a little stunned, and it took him half a day to say good words, and he wouldn't say anything else.

Ji Xiaotang couldn't help laughing.

"You said yes, if you ...... The people we're going to see don't like me like this, but it's all your fault. ”

"...... Zu, she will definitely like you." Qi Younian said immediately.

And the two men went out.

"Ayou, you still won't tell me, who are the people we are going to meet?" Ji Xiaotang asked Qi Younian again unexpectedly.

But Qi Younian unexpectedly insisted, and only said that Ji Xiaotang would know when he got to the place, which meant to surprise Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang can't do anything about him.

With Qin Zhen's people as cover, Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian walked out of Xinhuatang, all the way unimpeded, Qi Younian led the way, and actually went straight to the south of the city.

Ji Xiaotang has been in the capital since he came to the capital, and he has never walked around, so he naturally can't guess where Qi Younian is going.

"When our affairs are settled, I will take you to visit all the interesting places in the capital in the future." Qi Younian told Ji Xiaotang that he was very familiar with the capital, and there was no need to take Ji Xiaotang out to play like he did in Ren'an, and he had to do his homework in advance.

When he said this, Ji Xiaotang also thought of what happened when the two of them were in Ren Ancheng.

The two didn't spend much time together, and a lot of things happened in it, but when they recall it now, it's all sweet.

"Then Ayou, we said okay, you must take me to take a good tour of the capital in the future."

"It's a deal."

Qi Younian's voice was low, and his eyes flashed with joy and excitement.

Qi Younian is obviously very familiar with the path, and does not take the street, but picks small alleys and alleys to walk. Although it is a small alley, it is very clean and has some things to see.

It is true that the most impressive in the capital are the mansions of those high-ranking families, but such small alleys and ordinary houses are also very distinctive and have unique styles.

Ji Xiaotang has not seen these things up close in the past few days since he came to the capital, so he is very happy in his heart.

In the end, Qi Younian took Ji Xiaotang and stopped in front of a corner door.

"This is ......" Ji Xiaotang looked left and right, and recognized that this was a nunnery.

Qi Younian brought her to the nunnery, and Ji Xiaotang immediately remembered that when she was separated from Ren An and Qi Younian, Qi Younian had instructed her.

"Yes." Without Ji Xiaotang opening his mouth, Qi Younian could see what she was thinking.

That's right, Qi Younian brought Ji Xiaotang to Jingci'an, and he wanted to take Ji Xiaotang to see the person. It is the person he once told Ji Xiaotang that if he encounters difficulties in the capital, he can come to ask for help.

"I haven't come." Ji Xiaotang did not forget Qi Younian's instructions. It's just that after entering Beijing, she has been entangled in affairs, and she doesn't want to easily use the connections left by Qi Younian.

Although he didn't know the identity of the other party, Ji Xiaotang could guess that this person was by no means idle.

Because I believe that Qi Younian, Ji Xiaotang will respect this person in Ci'an. It was her last retreat.

"I understand." Qi Younian nodded.

Sometimes, he hopes that Ji Xiaotang will not be so strong.

The two of them talked. I don't know what Qi Younian did, the corner door opened silently.

The one who came to answer the door was a middle-aged nun.

This nun is of medium stature, with a doughy face. There are some pockmarks on the face. Look at the appearance, but the posture of a middle-aged person. However, the aura of the whole body is very comfortable to watch.

Almost the moment he saw this person, Ji Xiaotang thought of another person.

She thought of Mama Cheng.

This nun's temperament is somewhat similar to Mama Cheng, no matter how you look at it, she is not an ordinary nun.

"Mama Kong." Qi Younian had already beckoned.

Qi Younian called the middle-aged nun like this, and Ji Xiaotang became more and more surprised in his heart.

Mama Kong had already seen Qi Younian, and a smile immediately bloomed on her face.

"Young Master Ayou is here, please come in." Mama Kong opened the door wider, and let Qi Younian and Ji Xiaotang in. He glanced outside.

Whether it is Qi Younian's person or Qin Zhen's person. They all scattered far away, and did not follow near.

Mama Kong casually closed the corner door and said to lead Qi Younian and Ji Xiaotang, and at this time she glanced at Ji Xiaotang again.

Mama Kong's eyes did not look directly at Ji Xiaotang, but that glance was extremely serious.

is this kind of posture of looking at people, which is also very similar to Mama Cheng.

"Mama, this is Xiaotang." Qi Younian walked into the nunnery while telling Mama Kong.

Although Mama Kong is a subordinate posture, when she looks at Qi Younian, her eyes are more of the love and joy of the elders. And Qi Younian treats Mama Kong not only very closely, but also with respect, not like he treats ordinary people.

"Say hello to the county lord of Anle." Mama Kong saluted Ji Xiaotang.

Obviously, before this, she had already heard of Ji Xiaotang's name.

Because Qi Younian treated Mama Kong differently, Ji Xiaotang refused to accept Mama Kong's full courtesy, so he leaned slightly sideways and gave way.

"Mama doesn't have to be polite, just call me Xiaotang."

Mama Kong smiled.

"The county lord has tormented his son." Mama Kong does not call herself a nun, but a servant.

Because of this Mama Kong, Ji Xiaotang became more curious about the identity of the person Qi Younian wanted to show her.

Qi Younian smiled at Ji Xiaotang, as if he had guessed what Ji Xiaotang was thinking, and was very happy because of Ji Xiaotang's curiosity.

Mama Kong led the way in front, and on the way, she also met several women dressed as nuns, most of them were thirty years old, and some were older, but there were no young women.

These women dressed as nuns, unlike Mama Kong, did not shave, but all had hair.

In such a comparison, Mama Kong is the person who is most like a nun.

Soon, Mama Kong led the two to the front of a fine house.

There were also nuns serving in front of the ashram, and when they saw them coming, some people went into the house, and they should have gone to the court. However, Mama Kong didn't wait for anyone to come out to pass the word, so she took Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian to the steps.

A nun came over to raise the curtains, and Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian stepped into the house.

Entering the door is a double-sided embroidered rich peony screen, turn the screen, on the top of a carved jade Huanghuali chaise longue, the chaise longue is placed with a bright yellow dragon and phoenix auspicious pattern brocade mattress and backrest.

There was no one on the chaise longue, and under the window not far from the chaise longue, there was a painting case, and in front of the painting stood a woman wearing a bright yellow robe and a hosta on her head.

Ji Xiaotang only saw the woman's side face, and the woman's temples already had white hair, but her figure was still straight. She was holding a paintbrush in her hand, concentrating on the rice paper.

Mama Kong motioned for the two to be silent, and did not step forward to communicate, but retreated lightly.

When Qi Younian saw the woman, his eyebrows and eyes bent slightly, and he took Ji Xiaotang's hand. took Ji Xiaotang and walked to the woman's side.

The woman seemed to be too focused, and she didn't hear anyone approaching, and still painted on rice paper.

Qi Younian didn't speak either. took Ji Xiaotang to the front of the painting case and stood next to the woman.

Ji Xiaotang looked at the rice paper.

It turned out that the woman was painting the pomegranate outside the window, and it was about to be finished. As for the woman's painting skills, the corners of Ji Xiaotang's mouth couldn't help twitching. This woman has almost no painting skills to speak of, but she paints very seriously and enjoys herself.

Qi Younian's gaze swept over the woman's painting, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice. He hurriedly withdrew his gaze to look at Ji Xiaotang, just in time to see the corners of Ji Xiaotang's mouth twitching.

Oh no, Qi Younian secretly screamed in his heart. He thought he had thought it through. But I forgot one thing. He didn't expect to meet her painting.

Ji Xiaotang asked him what he needed to taboo, and there was no other taboo for him, only one thing. I can't hear anyone say that she doesn't draw well. Although in fact, it is true that she has been painting for decades, and her painting has not been very good.

Qi Younian wanted to remind Ji Xiaotang, but it was difficult to speak, so he could only give Ji Xiaotang a look, hoping that Ji Xiaotang would understand.

"Ayou, what are you looking at, your eyeballs are going to fall out if you look at them again." The woman's brushes are non-stop. didn't raise his head, but he seemed to see Qi Younian. Vocal tract.

Qi Younian smiled and hurriedly turned his head.

"Grandmother, do you know I'm coming?"

"You'll know when you're at the door. Listen to the sound of the wind, and I know it's you. Why, you brought someone to see me? With that, the woman finished the last stroke, put the brush in her hand in the wash, slowly raised her head, and turned around.

Only then did Ji Xiaotang see the woman's appearance clearly.

The woman had a goose egg face, and there were obvious wrinkles on her forehead and the corners of her eyes, but her complexion was ruddy, and her eyes were bright, and she was actually a heroic old woman.

This person turned out to be Qi Younian's grandmother.

"Grandmother, this is the Xiaotang I mentioned to you." Qi Younian introduced Ji Xiaotang to the old woman.

"Xiaotang has seen the eldest princess." Ji Xiaotang curtsied.

Qi Younian's grandmother is rarely mentioned now. It was Qi Younian himself, and he almost never mentioned it in front of Ji Xiaotang. But Ji Xiaotang had heard Ji Er and his old friends in the same year mention it in the early years.

Now Wei Wu Hou's father, that is, the old Wei Wu Hou who has long passed away, is married to the grandmother of Emperor Longqing, that is, the sister of the third emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty, and the only eldest princess of the Great Qin Dynasty so far.

It's just that in Ji Xiaotang's impression, Qi Younian's grandmother, the eldest princess, passed away many years ago.

When exactly did Ji Xiaotang not pay attention, however, the fact is that everyone has not seen or heard of this eldest princess for many years.

Who would have thought that the eldest princess was still alive and living in seclusion in Jingci Nunnery.

Knowing the identity of the old woman, Ji Xiaotang immediately fully understood the painstaking efforts that Qi Younian had instructed her at that time.

This eldest princess, in terms of seniority, is still the aunt of Empress Dowager Han and the aunt and grandmother of Emperor Longqing.

Ji Xiaotang sighed in his heart, and at the same time bowed down. The eldest princess Qin Min stretched out her hand and helped Ji Xiaotang up.

"A lot of people haven't heard that anymore." Qin Min's tone was very flat, even Ji Xiaotang couldn't hear what kind of emotions she had in her heart when she said this.

Qin Min helped Ji Xiaotang up and looked Ji Xiaotang up and down.

Qin Min's eyes were too strong, thinking that this person was Qi Younian's grandmother, Ji Xiaotang couldn't stand Qin Min's gaze, and his face slowly turned red.

She guessed that the person Qi Younian took her to see must not be an ordinary person, but she never thought that this person would be Qi Younian's grandmother.

If it weren't for Qin Min being by his side, Ji Xiaotang really wanted to complain about Qi Younian.

Qi Younian's secrecy work this time is too good, it's okay to fight!

Qin Min looked at Ji Xiaotang, it seemed that it was over, Qi Younian was very happy to see it at first, watching Ji Xiaotang gradually blush, he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, he only felt that the breath in the room was sweet.

In the end, Ji Xiaotang really couldn't stand Qin Min's scrutiny, and glanced at Qi Younian.

This is asking Qi Younian for help.

Qi Younian immediately understood: "Grandmother, don't stand all the time, no matter how tired you are, sit down." ”

Qi Younian supported Qin Min and was about to go to the chaise longituna. took advantage of this to relieve Ji Xiaotang.

It's a pity that Qin Min refused to be fooled, and as soon as she waved her arm, she threw Qi Younian away. also glanced at Qi Younian, and then turned his head to look at Ji Xiaotang.

The sharpness in Qin Min's eyes was gone, and all that was left was a kind smile.

"Ayou's vision is good, I've lived so old, and it's the first time I've seen such a thoughtful little girl."

Qin Min praised him like this, Ji Xiaotang didn't do much, and Qi Younian couldn't help but smile in his eyes. It seems that Qin Min is not praising Ji Xiaotang, but himself.

"Look at the beauty of you." Qin Min seemed to have eyes on the side of his head, and he watched Qi Younian's every move in his eyes. smiled and hated Qi Younian.

Qi Younian just laughed.

"Does grandmother like it or not?"

"Like, such a girl, who can not like it. …… What Ayo likes, grandmother likes. ”

This sentence. Not only made Qi Younian very happy. also made Ji Xiaotang full of good feelings for Qin Min.

"What eldest princess, it's all an old yellow calendar, and no one calls me that now. You just follow Ayou and call me grandmother. Qin Min took Ji Xiaotang's hand and said with a smile.

The heat on Ji Xiaotang's face did not fade, he lowered his eyes slightly, and asked Qi Younian with his eyes.

Qi Younian nodded heavily.

"Grandmother." Ji Xiaotang also simply called Qin Min grandmother.

This grandmother obviously also liked Qin Min.

Qin Min pulled Ji Xiaotang. Let Ji Xiaotang look at her paintings.

Qi Younian is still happy at this time. immediately became nervous, and secretly glanced at Ji Xiaotang.

Qin Min noticed it, and unceremoniously pushed Qi Younian away with his elbow, and blocked him with his body, preventing him from signaling to Ji Xiaotang.

"Xiaotang, come and see your grandmother's painting, is it good?" Qin Min looked at Ji Xiaotang expectantly.

"Oh......" Ji Xiaotang groaned slightly, Qi Younian signaled to her several times, it should be this painting.

Regarding the painting of the eldest princess, she needs to be careful.

Ji Xiaotang knew what she should say most in this situation, but looking at Qin Min's paintings, those words were really unspeakable.

"It's hard to judge my grandmother's words as good or bad." Ji Xiaotang carefully examined the painting again before saying slowly.

"What do you mean by that?" Qin Min immediately became interested, she had been painting for decades, and this was the first time she had heard such a comment.

"Grandmother's painting doesn't look like it at all."

"Oh......" Qi Younian held his forehead and couldn't help but sigh.

"What are you doing weirdly, no matter how dishonest you are, beat you out!" Qin Min immediately glared at Qi Younian, turned his face and looked at Ji Xiaotang with a smile. "My paintings, they don't look like them."

"Not really." Ji Xiaotang told the truth, and didn't seem to see some colorful looks on Qin Min's face. "The skin is not like it, but the bone is like it."

Qin Min's eyes lit up immediately.

"It's hard to draw the skin of a tiger and draw bones, Xiaotang, you don't say my words like skin, bones are like ......"

"My grandmother didn't draw the shape of a pomegranate, but she drew the rhyme of a pomegranate."

Qin Min was stunned for a moment, and then he excitedly held Ji Xiaotang's hands.

"Xiaotang is my bosom friend."

Qin Min's words landed, and Qi Younian finally breathed a sigh of relief. This level, Ji Xiaotang has finally passed. Standing behind the eldest princess, Qi Younian stretched out his thumb to Ji Xiaotang, signaling that Ji Xiaotang had done a good job.

Ji Xiaotang smiled slightly, and he was extremely happy in his heart.

In Jingci'an, in front of the eldest princess, Qi Younian showed another side of him, which he had almost never shown in front of Ji Xiaotang, the childish side.

Based on this alone, Ji Xiaotang knew that the relationship between the eldest princess and Qi Younian's ancestors and grandsons must be very deep.

The eldest princess recognized Ji Xiaotang as a bosom friend, and at the same time pulled Qi Younian over, counting Qi Younian with some pride.

“…… Over the years, you have been duplicitous, praising me for my good painting on the surface, but secretly you all look down on me, saying that I have been painting for decades and have not made any progress at all, and that my painting has always been so bad. Now you understand, it's not that I can't draw well, it's that you don't know how to appreciate! ”

Qin Min said so much in one breath, it seemed that he had been aggrieved for many years, and he was finally able to raise his eyebrows.

Qi Younian and Ji Xiaotang were both amused by her.

Qin Min asked people to come in and collect the paintings, and on the other hand, he took Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian to sit on the couch, took off a bracelet from his wrist, and put it on his wrist with Ji Xiaotang without saying anything. The bracelet is not gold or jade, because it is worn all year round, the surface of the beads is smooth and shiny, and exudes a faint fragrance.

Ji Xiaotang naturally noticed at this time that Qin Min's body didn't have any gold and jade jewelry at all, and it really looked like he was practicing.

"Thank you, grandmother." Ji Xiaotang knew that this bracelet was priceless, so he did not pretend to refuse, but thanked him happily and accepted it.

Qi Younian was on the side, and his face was even more happy.

At this moment, he had determined that the eldest princess liked Ji Xiaotang and accepted Ji Xiaotang. Although he had long expected this to be the case, he was still pleasantly surprised that his grandmother was able to accept Ji Xiaotang so quickly.
