Chapter 50: Rubbing shoulders

After a rain, the sky was clear, and the small courtyard on the hillside was soaked in the fresh scent of earth.

Du Shi, who had not been out of the room for a long time, was also hugged by Zhu's mother on a big rattan chair, smiling at a rainbow that Man Yun pointed out to her that hung on the mountain wall not far away.

Seeing that his mother liked it, Zhou Manyun ran even harder, holding a pillow with a snack, and painstakingly circled around Du's without fake hands.

"Sister Yun! When you're tired, take a break! The intimacy of her daughter made Du Shi's heart warm, although her voice was still a little dry, but she still worked hard to greet Man Yun. Her eyes fell on her lower abdomen, and she really wished that she could come to the critical period immediately, so as to get rid of the current state of weak hands and feet, and she didn't even have the strength to wipe the sweat for her daughter.

"Mother! I'm not tired! Zhou Manyun responded loudly, with a little sweat on the tip of his nose, bright and transparent.

Zhou Manyun is really not tired, she is now full of sincere joy. Living in this world, being able to be needed by others, and being able to take care of the people she wants to take care of, is a very cherished and grateful thing for her.

"Sister Bai Lu is back!" , with a cry of excitement, Man Yun, who was still standing beside Du Shi, took Bai Lu's shirt in a slip of smoke. Early in the morning, Bai Lu took several farmers from Baoshu Village to the temple, and sent fruits and vegetables to the Zhou family, who were packing up and preparing to leave tomorrow, to eat on the road, and also to return with the news they got from the temple.

"Sister Yun, it's time to call me Yanyu!" , Bai Lu snorted softly, she had been teased by Mother Zhu and others yesterday, and in Sister Yun'er's understanding, she was a generation behind Xuanshuang, who was called uncle.

"What a concubine!" , Manyun called out in a coquettish voice. Then he tugged at Bai Lu and motioned for her to lean down.

The small hand was wrapped around Bai Lu's ear. Manyun's question was heavy.

She asked softly, "Has the list been delivered to the third uncle?" ”

"Sister Yun! The gift list has been taken away by a maid named Thrush brought by the third master. Because Huzi saw it, the girl took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention to it and sneakily hid a big girl's bed clothes and brought it to the third master. simply threw the gift list in the grandmother's suitcase and deliberately led her to see ......"

The gift list was stolen from the makeup box in Xie's room on the night of Zhou Manhua's first seven souls, and Xie's handwriting, from the real estate deeds of Luojing and the suburbs to antique treasures, were densely listed in three. There are a few things, which have been verified by Du Xuanfeng and them, and they were found in the pawnshop when they were chasing dirty. Those houses and land were reported to the Dushi. She also confirmed that it was part of the Zhou family's property in Beijing that had not yet been sold.

The original gift list has been copied and replayed. The guard work in Puji Temple is done by Du Xuanshuang and others, which is also convenient.

When Man Yun saw the third uncle Zhou Yang, he naturally thought of the industrial dispute between Dafang and Sanfang in his previous life, after his grandfather's death, and the two sides accused each other of embezzling the Zhou family's property between Luojing and Huocheng, and made a lot of trouble. In the previous life, it was a three-room fiasco, and the whole family went to Jeonju, this life. Man Yun decided to send Zhou Yang some evidence that was unfavorable to the long house.

If the elders are worried about more things, they and their mothers will be ignored even more, and Man Yun has no intention of harming anyone, he just wants to cause trouble.

"But. What does the third uncle want the eldest sister's clothes for? The clothes used by Zhou Manhua before his death were originally just hurriedly packed and taken to Puji Temple because they were haunted. It was only in the past two days that they were picked up and burned.

"It should be that the third master also inquired about the cause of death of some big girls." , Bai Lu replied. The smile was a little reluctant. Zhou Manhua, who was sent into the mountains, had no friendship. But I really feel pitiful. My own mother didn't have to eat back then, so she just sold her, or sold it to Mrs. Du, but Zhou Manhua, who was a beautiful girl, didn't even have a way to live.

"Bai Lu, what are you talking to Sister Yun?" , Zhu's mother's cheeks were swollen, and her loud voice asked Du Shi more neatly.

"I'm telling Sister Yun that when I wake up in the afternoon, I have to take her to the temple. Mrs. asked Sister Yun to accompany her for a meal. ”

Fasting? Well, it should be a farewell meal, and my grandmother may not be able to eat happily.

Zhou Manyun looked sideways at Bai Lu, and saw that she didn't seem to be a fake, so he comforted himself and stubbornly pursed his mouth, and said, "Then you guys, remember to leave me some egg soup cakes for supper." ”

The whole courtyard laughed, Zhou Manyun soothed his eyebrows, and thought that he was the old Laizi who was dressed in colorful clothes.

There are more than 1,500 steps leading to Puji Temple, and Zhou Manyun still walked up slowly by himself, and when he entered the temple gate, his body was slightly sweaty, and his little face was red and tender.

There was a guest in the grandmother's room who wanted to ask Ann to see first, and Manyun was instructed to wait under the porch.

The fallen leaves in the yard that were knocked down by the rain, no one swept them, and naturally laid out a blanket, Zhou Manyun took Bai Lu's hand and deliberately stepped on it, letting the residual rain splash on the little shoes, enjoying himself.

"So, isn't it fun?" , A childish childish voice sounded with some confusion, and a white coarse cloth shoe with miscanthus grass was also stepped on not far away, and a few residual leaves flew and stuck to her white dress.

Zhou Manyun stopped and looked at the strange girl in front of him. Looking at the tall man who is one punch higher, the girl in front of him is about a year or two older than herself, and she is plain white and obviously with heavy filial piety, a small round face and fleshy eyes, staring at curious eyes, and looking very cute.

It's also a little familiar. Zhou Manyun's small brows frowned slightly, and his eyes fixed on the girl's white cloth clothes without squeaking. When her great-grandmother died, Manyun, who was separated by generations, was also filial piety, but if she received the news of her father's death, she would be as filial as the girl in front of her.

"Let's play together!" , the fat girl came to Man Yun's side,

"This is the daughter of the Lou Zhi County family. Miss Xianying. A mother-in-law in the yard hurriedly ran to Man Yun and whispered the girl's identity.

The guest who didn't come out in the grandmother's room was Lou County's wife, He. Thinking of the role that Lou Zhixian might play in the previous Zhou family's encounter with bandits, Zhou Manyun turned his head away and pulled the hand that was almost caught by the fat girl.

Lou Xianying, who was easy to find a playmate, pouted, and wanted to go to La Manyun again.

"Lou Xianying!" , Lou Qiaoying, who was also dressed in filial piety clothes, turned out of the ear room and drank to her sister in the yard, Xianying's appearance and the arrogance of the little girl of the Zhou family reminded her of her mother He's confession.

The eldest daughter of the Lou family, Lou Qiaoying? Zhou Manyun, who was prompted to tell her a name, stood in the courtyard, watching Lou Qiaoying, who was dressed in snow-white, walking towards her.

Lou Qiaoying, with a delicate face, delicate eyebrows and eyes, but her cheekbones are slightly high, which makes her lose some beauty, but adds some unusual arrogance. In her previous life, it is said that she stood out from the women of Luojing Tianxiang Women's Garden, also because she painted a good plum blossom with pride.

These two sisters, Man Yun doesn't recognize the younger sister like Xiao Yuanqiu, but he recognizes the elder sister, in the previous life.

It turned out that Fengjin once had a relationship with each other.

"The ancestral home of Louzhi County is in Zhaoyi, Yuanzhou, not far from Luojing, and Mrs. He has also set off to return with her daughter the day after tomorrow, and today I came to say goodbye to my wife."

Zhou Manyun quietly listened to the news from Bai Lu's inquiry under the corridor, watched Lou Qiaoying support the He family with eyes like red hearts and Mrs. Zhou's farewell, and then took her sister by the hand, and the mother and daughter walked on the path away from the Zhou family's courtyard, and slowly disappeared from her sight.

I hope that this life will pass me off and never see you again......

At the parting dinner in Puji Temple, as expected by Manyun, the room was speechless, and the food was not bad, but everyone ate tastelessly.

Man Yun sat in the children's pile, eating bite by bite.

Zhou Huai also wants to be fed by the nurse, Zhou Manyin's eating rules are regular, the amount of food is as small as a cat, only Zhou Shen, who has always been Sven's cousin, has a soft spot for a stir-fried cucumber, and almost swept the whole plate into his bowl, which caused the always good-tempered Gao Shi to also hint at it several times with dissatisfaction.

Fortunately, Mrs. Zhou did not investigate Zhou Shen's misdemeanor, and her thoughts were also on the matter of explaining to Manyun.

"Sister Yun! You are still young now, and you are still indistinguishable from others, and you are easily deceived by others. Just like Du Xuanshuang next to your mother, do you know what the origin is? Back then, it was his father who gambled badly, and sold his eldest son and his mother who was pregnant with him for money, and because he met your grandmother, he was accepted into the Du family and gave his brothers a Du surname. It's just that you are relying on your mother's milk to instigate you to consume your parents, what do you still call him, what uncle! Mrs. Zhou clenched Man Yun's little hand with kind eyebrows, clenched.

The third uncle was not on good terms with his grandmother, and he made small moves in private from them, but he did not deceive Mrs. Zhou in these matters.

Zhou Manyun sighed slightly in his heart, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face, "Grandmother! Yun'er knows that she is wrong, then let Uncle Du, no, Du Xuanshuang and the others don't follow you back to Huocheng. ”

"Silly boy! That's not what grandmother meant. Looking at the small face with a big palm in front of her, Mrs. Zhou was upset for a while, let go of the hand holding Man Yun, and said: "I just want to say, you are a noble girl, you must know the difference between yourself and those subordinates of the Du family, and what kind of nonsense Taoist priest." Also, my grandmother asks you if you have ever seen a Taoist priest of false speech......

It's a lie about whether the Du family is a lie, and whether he has seen a Taoist priest when he first ate bitter Xuancao. Zhou Manyun was helpless, so he could only sit in a stupid posture that he didn't know anything.

Fortunately, after a while, a small chaos suddenly appeared in the Zhou family to free her from the predicament of being caught.

Zhou Shen, who was already a little upset in his stomach, had diarrhea that didn't stop.

The Zhou family, who was afraid that the shadow of bad luck was still there, was in chaos again. The second grandmother, Gao, was even more frightened.

Fortunately, Puji Temple is not far from Baoshu Village, and the Taoist priest was quickly brought to the temple to see Zhou Shen.

"It's fine, it's just that eating the wrong thing caused diarrhea." , an assertion made everyone feel relieved, but the next sentence of the Taoist priest made the eyes of those who were looking forward to returning home show frustration.

"It's just for the sake of safety, I suggest that the little brother should not go on the road tomorrow." (To be continued......)
