77 two years

Yang Lan and Master Minghui went all the way to Anhui, and it took more than a month to take a carriage by land after changing to a waterway on the way, but they also saw a lot of scenery, left a lot of sketches to remember, and did not delay learning on the boat.

The group of them lived in the Puji Temple, and Master Minghui had some dealings with the presiding officer here, and the subordinates and guards rented a courtyard near the temple to live in order to protect the safety of the county lord.

Yang Hao also took a turn in the temple, and found that this temple was indeed clean and quiet, not the kind of place where dirt and dirt were hidden.

Arranged the guards to guard in shifts, Yang Hao stayed for a few days and carefully observed and inquired about the surrounding houses, there was really no problem, and then said goodbye to Master Minghui, he still had his own task to investigate, and he couldn't stay here for a long time.

After Yang Lan said goodbye to her brother, she studied with Master Minghui, got up early to do morning classes, followed her to do some chores of concocting medicinal materials, and sometimes carried boxes for the master to go to the farmhouse to treat them.

Occasionally, she will go to the nearby Yizhuang to make porridge and medicine to do some good deeds, and when she is free, she will take the guards to climb the Yellow Mountain, browse the beautiful scenery there, and record it with a drawing.

Here she took off her brocade clothes, wore the ordinary fabric of the farmhouse and followed the master to the mountains and the countryside, without the critical eyes of the dignitaries and nobles, and without the constraints of the rules, she ran around like a wild boy. Sometimes, for convenience, I will wear my own modified men's clothes to play around.

Seeing her crazy like this, Mama Yue and Mama Lin were always chattering. I'm afraid that my heart will be wild, and it will be difficult to explain when I go home. Yang Lan always grinned, indicating that she knew what to do!

Every morning I do morning classes with the master, copy the Buddhist scriptures, and then follow the master to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting and other courses, point out their own calligraphy and painting, sometimes go out in the afternoon to experience the folk customs, do not go out to practice the words and learn the piano or something.

Sometimes she and the master tinkered with the pigment ratio in the ancient recipes, and Yang Lan always had a lot of fun, where she felt that she was free. The heart is happy and unrestrained, and the master will not control her very much, but requires that she must bring the guards and girls when she goes out, and she can't go out alone.

Every ten days and half a month, she will write a few letters home, report safety to her father and mother and tell her what she has seen and interesting things here, and embroider a small table screen for the Queen Mother, which is double-sided, and the embroidery is the characteristic life of the farmhouse that she feels here, which has a lot of taste.

Occasionally, he would write a letter to the emperor's uncle. Most of them talked about their own experiences and abduction tricks they encountered, etc., to show that they had increased their knowledge, and they also said that they had learned a lot of medicinal materials and had begun to learn how to take the pulse.

Half a year has passed in a blink of an eye. For the first time, I spent the New Year alone outside, but it was also very interesting, and I made zongzi with them during the Mid-Autumn Festival. It's a pity that the dumplings wrapped by myself are not tightly wrapped, and the glutinous rice leaks out after cooking, revealing the filling. Hahaha!

This time during the Chinese New Year, she felt a lot of different lives, and the master took her to the farmhouse to visit the house. Visiting those poor families and sending them some food to eat, so that they could live a year, Yang Lan specially used his pocket money to buy some fields in the name of Puji Temple, so that more people can benefit in the future, and he has done his best.

During the Chinese New Year, my brother came back for a trip, brought some gadgets to her, checked her homework, and said that there was progress in calligraphy and painting, but the piano playing was too ugly, like playing cotton, and playing chess was barely possible, and the poems were simply miserable, and the female red made a lot of progress, asking him to make a few more pairs of shoes, with thick soles, otherwise it would not be wear-resistant.

After accompanying Yang Lan for the New Year, her brother left in a hurry, as for what she was going to do, she didn't ask, she knew that this was the emperor's order, and there were some things that she couldn't ask.

Yang Lan didn't expect that he and his master would stay in Puji Temple for more than two years, during which they went home for a year, and soon returned to Anhui.

And the situation in Beijing is getting more and more tense, which is also the reason why her parents must send her out, the last time I went home for the New Year, I heard a lot of things, there are children of the family who were plotted and lost their lives, and there are girls of the family who died at the banquet in the palace, I heard that she was originally one of the candidates for the princess, but I didn't expect Xiang Xiaoyu to die, so you can see the darkness and horror of the political struggle.

The second brother was taken to the Fujian military camp by his father for training, and his mother went with him, and it was troublesome for her son and daughter to stay in Beijing when she was not at home.

The fourth uncle also went to Yunnan with his family, although it was more bitter there, but he could get good results if he did a good job, and there would be some hope for promotion, and the capital was too complicated, so he couldn't afford to hide far, but he left the children at home.

Even the third uncle was let out by his father, I heard that he went to a small place to be a county order, and the third uncle took the concubine to take office, and the third aunt did not follow, but when the father left, he gave two very capable staff, and the third uncle was very happy to take it with him.

Listening to the third sister, my father is obedient to the staff, and the affairs in office are also carried out smoothly, the sixth brother has been in the military camp for more than a year, and he has grown a lot, and he has become dark and thin, but with the spirit of a man, he is still unwilling to let him leave the barracks! I heard that the third aunt covered her face and cried when she saw her son's appearance that day, and Tete prepared a heavy gift for Yang Lan during the New Year to show her gratitude.

And not long after Yang Lan set off, the third brother took his father's boat to study at Bishan Academy in Jiangnan, preparing for the next year's scientific examination.

Because Rong Yi also wants to go to Bishan Academy to study, feel the ability of Jiangnan students, just three of them all the way, the father has no choice but to send the two children to Jiangnan, seeing that Rong Yi has only a small servant and a long follower who knows how to do martial arts, so he sent another long follower to his nephew, and the two long followers are veterans who retired from the battlefield. It was more than enough to protect both of their children.

I rented a small courtyard near Bishan Academy for them to live in, and occasionally made some food for the two of them. The food and water in the academy were a little small, and after arranging all this, Yang Xu left for Fujian. Before leaving, I muttered, why didn't Brother Rong leave his son to me without asking, and he wasn't afraid that I would sell your son?

Only the old ones are left in the Yang Mansion in the capital, and the little ones are at home, and there is basically no point in attracting them, so they are also calm and silent.

Yang Lan has been staying in Anhui to play, writing a letter to friends and relatives in the capital every half a month, and learning skills from her master, and now she will take the pulse. Double-sided embroidery can already be embroidered very exquisitely, she also embroidered a small screen for her mother, also double-sided, it took more than a year, it was her own hand painted Huangshan pine and cypress map, all kinds of pine and cypress wonders, embroidered by hand to give to her mother as a gift.

It wasn't until her brother finished his errands and came to pick her up that she realized that she had been outside for more than two years! In a blink of an eye, she was twelve years old, and she would be thirteen in the New Year.

They returned to the capital by boat. Changed into brocade clothes again, which made Yang Lan feel like a dream, as if the idyllic scenery seemed to have only existed in a dream, but even so she was very grateful. The more than two years of comfortable life were bought by her parents by all means, just to make her safe and happy.

After returning to the capital, Yang Lan rested at home for a day. I went to ask for peace early the next morning, but I couldn't see the old lady when I got off the bus that day. After eating a closed door, the third sister said. Now the old lady only trusts her cousin, and even she has to look back at her cousin's face.

Nothing strange happened to You'an, but the old lady's face was very cold, and she just asked mockingly, "Have you had enough?" I also know how to go home! Then, without waiting for Yang Lan to react, he impatiently let her go back.

The third sister took the initiative to pull Yang Lan after leaving the Songhe Hall, "Sixth sister, we haven't seen each other for more than two years in a blink of an eye, can I go sit with you?" ”

Yang Lan hadn't seen her sisters for a long time, and she missed them very much, so she nodded happily again and again, "You just didn't say that I would invite you too, and I also brought you a gift?" I've bothered to collect them all, so do you pick and choose to see if you like them? ”

After almost three years of training, the third sister has grown into a big girl, and her gestures are very girly.

The third sister smiled when she heard this, and gently pinched her nose, "You little conscienceless, I don't know if you miss me in the past two years?" ”

"Look at what you said, I don't want to miss anyone, I can't miss you? Let's go, go to me, I'll make you white tea to drink, I personally fried it, and I didn't want to give it away! Yang Lan pulled the third sister and walked happily towards her yard.

As soon as he entered the house, Biyun hurriedly made a cup of Baihao silver needle, and said with a little joy: "Third Miss also taste, this is the roasted tea that my master and Master Minghui learned, and my hands are not less hot to learn this!" ”

The third sister's eyes lit up, "Then I have to taste it, well, the taste is fresh and pure, it's really good,!" ”

"The third sister likes me to wrap a pack for you to take back and drink slowly, and the gifts I brought to you can also be brought back by the way later, and I will send someone to send it to you again." Yang Lan saw that the third sister was now acting generously and decently, and she was cool and straightforward, so she liked it in her heart first.

"Don't be busy, it's only right for our sisters to talk properly! Good sister, you don't know how I was bored these days when you left, not long after you left, the third brother went to Jiangnan to study, and the second uncle also followed to Hangzhou.

My brother also went to the camp in Xishan to experience, came back for a trip during the Chinese New Year, people are in good spirits, the height is tall, and now I don't like to wear red and green, like a man, more sensible, came back and brought me a gift, to my mother bought her favorite snacks! It's changed a lot. The third sister sat cross-legged on the big kang and talked to Yang Lan about the changes in the family with great interest. (To be continued......)
