Chapter 14 Prayer for the Bodhi Temple

Walking with Bing'er for a while, Xia Jiangwan turned around and found that her father and mother were still standing at the door and looking at her silently, I don't know where the wind came from to mess with their clothes and hair, at that moment, she suddenly found that her father and mother were so old at some point, and even their figures had become so rickety......

Seeing his daughter turn around, Xia Shangshu hugged Mrs. Xia and waved at her.

Holding back the tears surging in his eyes, Xia Jiangwan also waved his hand in response to the two, but burst into tears the moment he turned around ruthlessly.

Fortunately, she is not too late to be sensible, and she still has a lot of time to spend with them.

"Miss Xia?" Bing'er saw Xia Jiangwan crying so sadly, so she stepped forward and supported her.

"I'm fine." Xia Jiangwan straightened her waist and walked forward step by step, she knew that her father and mother were still watching her from behind, and she couldn't let them worry.

They walked a long way, and it was not until they could no longer see the plaque of Shangshufu that Xia Jiangwan relaxed. laughed at himself: "I suddenly feel that I don't regret it at all when I push Yiyi into the water this time." ”

At the same time, everything that happened in Shangshufu also reached his ears under the emperor's intentional orders, and Emperor Chu, who was practicing calligraphy, wrote down a 'teacher' with a big stroke of his pen and looked up at the person who reported it.

"Then Xia Yatou has really changed so much?"

"Back to Your Majesty, if you don't see it with your own eyes, your subordinates won't believe it."

"It seems that my little daughter is also a rare talent. Heard of amnesia? What's going on? Emperor Chu asked with some curiosity.

"This subordinate has investigated it all, and I heard that the former Miss Lou San liked Leng Yan, the first son in the world, very much, and was jealous with Miss Xia and was accidentally pushed into the water by her, and she had a high fever, and lost all her memories, because of this incident, the daughter of the former general, that is, the niece of the queen's mother, is still making trouble and moving back to the general's mansion." The subordinates reported the situation they investigated to Emperor Chu one by one.

"This amnesia is a good one." Putting down the brush in his hand, Emperor Chu said with great interest. "If you continue to pay attention to Lou Sanya, I have a hunch that she will bring a big surprise to me, and even to our Mingyi Kingdom."

"Yes, the subordinates retired." For Emperor Chu's decision-making, his subordinates never doubted it, just like when they came, and quietly retreated.

Taifu Mansion, Lou Yiyi stared at the open space in the small courtyard that Xia Jiangwan had sorted out for a long time, and asked a little melancholy: "Qing'er, what plants are both vegetables and fruits in our Mingyi Country." ”

She actually wanted to ask if there were tomatoes and cucumbers, but she didn't dare to ask directly for fear of revealing flaws.

"Yes." Qing'er nodded. "Tomatoes and cucumbers are."

"Really?" Lou Yiyi was a little surprised. "Can you get me some seeds? I want to grow them. ”

"Okay." Although I don't understand why my young lady suddenly has this habit, Qing'er still complied.

"By the way, if there are other crops that can be eaten, you can also get some seeds." Lou Yiyi added.

Qing'er received the order, and ordered someone to go and procure, this matter is not difficult, and after a while, these seeds appeared in Lou Yiyi's hands. To her surprise, there were also melon seeds.

When Xia Jiangwan and Bing'er returned to the courtyard, Lou Yiyi had already planted these seeds with Qing'er and was watering them.

"What kind of flowers are planted here, why are there no flower seedlings, and they are planted directly from the seeds?" Xia Jiangwan was a little curious, so she directly took a scoop and started watering it with Lou Yiyi.

"It's not flowers." Seeing Xia Jiangwan coming back, Lou Yiyi glanced at it and replied, "It's some fruits and vegetables." ”

"What are you planting all this for?" Xia Jiangwan was a little puzzled.

"Of course, it's eating." Lou Yiyi rolled her eyes at Xia Jiangwan. "These are no more useful than those flowers that can only be viewed. Although it is a little late to plant tomatoes at this time, it should not have much impact, take care of some of them, and treat the dead horse as a live horse doctor. ”

"It also makes sense, I'll try to free up a piece of land when I go back." Xia Jiangwan felt that this proposal was good, and silently wrote it down in a small notebook in his heart.

"Alright, we're almost busy." Lou Yiyi handed the scoop in her hand to Qing'er, stretched her waist and said, "It should be dinner time, let's go eat." ”

The days passed unhurriedly for a few days, and Xia Jiangwan was still Lou Yiyi's little maid, but with her own efforts, she finally got a comfortable bedroom and a soft bed in the small courtyard. The four of them will also go out for a walk from time to time.

On this day, Lou Yiyi was basking in the sun in the yard as usual, but was hurriedly called by the little maid beside Ye Lingshuang.

"Third Miss, Miss Xia, there is a decree from the palace, please go to the front yard to receive the decree."

Lou Yiyi and Xia Jiangwan glanced at each other, and followed the maid to the front hall suspiciously.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, the father-in-law who announced the decree opened the decree unhurriedly. Cleared his throat and said majestically: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said that the annual National Day is coming, in order to thank the ancestors for their great achievements in founding the country, and not forgetting the original intention of the country, the queen mother will lead the daughters of all officials to the Bodhi Temple to pray for the blessing of the Ming Yi country, for three days, two days later, before the evening, please be sure to arrive at the Bodhi Temple, there must be no mistake, Qin this." ”

After announcing the decree, Lou Ting subconsciously wanted to take the decree, but saw the father-in-law standing motionless, thinking, as long as I don't feel embarrassed, it is you who are embarrassed. After a while, he explained solemnly: "Because there are too many young ladies in each family, Your Majesty says that it is too wasteful of the holy decree, so this time the holy decree is hereby a copy, and after it is read in each family, it will be taken back to the palace." ”

Everyone knew this, and they all stood up and wanted to send off this father-in-law.

Unexpectedly, the father-in-law waved slowly, and before leaving, he said leisurely: "Due to the lack of peace in the queen's mother's phoenix body, this time the queen mother will not follow the blessing of the queen mother, and the second lady of the special Taifu Mansion Lou Jinxuan went to the palace to accompany the mother to copy the Buddhist scriptures. ”

"Jinxuan obeys." Lou Jinxuan saluted to the father-in-law.

"Hmm." The father-in-law nodded slightly, and walked out with his head held high.

Out of the Taifu Mansion, the father-in-law turned his head to the little eunuch beside him and said: "Have you seen it, the decree must have momentum, we represent the face of the royal family, can we not be a little cautious, you know?" ”

The little eunuch next to him nodded again and again.

The father-in-law was very satisfied, turned his head arrogantly again, and rushed to the next house to announce the decree.

In the Taifu Mansion, Ye Lingshuang pulled Lou Yiyi by her side, turned her head to Xia Jiangwan and said, "Miss Xia." ”

Xia Jiangwan saluted slightly to Ye Lingshuang and said respectfully: "I am already friends with Yiyi, just call me Wanwan by Mrs. Lou, if I don't dislike it, I would like to call Mrs. Lou an aunt?" ”

Ye Lingshuang glanced at Lou Yiyi, smiled with her acquiescence, and stepped forward to take Xia Jiangwan's hand.

"Of course, I'm glad you and my family are friends. Twisted. ”

"Auntie." Xia Jiangwan also called Ye Lingshuang with a smile.

"Hmm." Ye Lingshuang nodded, cut back to the topic, and said: "You can go back to Shangshu Mansion tonight to prepare, no matter what, you are also the eldest lady of Shangshu Mansion, you can't lose face." ”

Xia Jiangwan thought about it, so he should go.

Then, Ye Lingshuang pulled the two of them and said: "Go and pray for blessings, I have nothing to explain, only one point, don't make trouble easily, but, if others bully you, don't bear it, just bully back, come back and have a family to support you, as long as the two of you help each other and unite as one, outsiders will have nothing to do with you." ”

"I see, mother." Lou Yiyi shook her head and agreed. "Is your daughter so fond of causing trouble? Really. ”

"You, you." Ye Lingshuang nodded Lou Yiyi's nose, and said helplessly: "You follow me with your temperament, don't cause trouble and are not afraid of trouble." ”

"Thank you, aunt, Wanwan also knows." Xia Jiangwan also understood that she was stained with Lou Yiyi's light, so her aunt would tell her about this, which was a very novel experience, and it was the first time someone said this to her, so she hurriedly responded.

"Uh-huh." Ye Lingshuang was not stingy and touched Xia Jiangwan's head. "Okay, it's almost time, you two can go where you need to prepare and prepare, and I won't delay your time."

Lou Yiyi and Xia Jiangwan retreated in response.

On the way back to the courtyard, Xia Jiangwan took a few steps forward and walked side by side with Lou Yiyi.

"The day after tomorrow, how about we go over together and live in the same yard?"

"Okay." Lou Yiyi nodded. "It just so happens that I only know you, a young lady, and I live in a yard with a stranger, so it is inevitable that there will be a lot of friction."

After the two agreed, Xia Jiangwan returned to Shangshu Mansion satisfied.

The two-day period passed in a blink of an eye, and after explaining the daily life in the courtyard, he took Qing'er and Bing'er to prepare to go to Bodhi Temple.

"Little sister, you must pay attention to safety here, don't be bullied by others." Lou Jinxuan took Lou Yiyi's hand, her eyes full of reluctance. It's sad that I can't be with my sister......

"Don't worry, sister, no one dares to bully me, Anla." Lou Yiyi raised her eyebrows at Lou Jinxuan and held her hand back. "With your sister's fierce reputation, there are really not many people who dare to take the initiative to provoke me."

"What kind of murderous name-" Lou Jinxuan's face froze. "It's obviously those who don't understand who are talking nonsense, but my little sister is the most well-behaved."

"Okay, okay, I know that your sisterhood is deep, it's not too early, Wanwan is already waiting at the door, don't hurry up." Ye Lingshuang saw that the two of them were still greasy and crooked, and urged. But the joy in his eyes could not be concealed.

The January period that the three of them said last time in the front hall and Lou Tingzhi had already passed, and in view of the fact that they were quite satisfied with the three of them's repentance, Ye Lingshuang did not mention the matter of returning to the General's Mansion again.

"I know—" Lou Yiyi stretched out her voice, shook Lou Jinxuan's arm, and waved her hand to the family who came to see her off, before she joined Xia Jiangwan and got into the carriage.
