Why is her heart so confused at the thought of liking the word? Thinking wildly in his head, Shen Lian stared at the roof, but his sleepiness gradually deepened, and he fell asleep unconsciously.

And outside her courtyard, Ning Qingming, who had been hiding in the tree and waiting for her to come back since she came down the mountain, wanted to come out several times to ask her and Yin Chen what they had done when they went down the mountain, but in the end they all held back.

After hesitating a few times, he saw the candle in the room go out, and he looked at Shen Lian's courtyard in a daze for a while, and then let out a long sigh and jumped down from the tree to leave.

On the second day, Shen Lian pulled the meditation master to talk for a long time, and when it was time to do the morning class, the meditation master went to the Buddha hall to do the morning class, and she reluctantly went down the mountain with Ning Qingming.

Although she also wanted to stay on Mount Emei for a few more days, whether it was the mother in the prime minister's mansion or the business in the shop, she had to return to Beijing.

Walking on the mountain road, Shen Lian kicked a stone with her toes, and her mood was a little low.

Although she knew that when she arrived, Master would go to the capital to see her, but she couldn't be happy at all at the thought that she wouldn't see Master for a long time.

Ning Qingming saw her sullen appearance, and couldn't help but comfort her, "There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, senior sister, don't be unhappy, Master, her old man is a master who wants to transcend the mortal, and we can't keep disturbing her Qingxiu, and we will come to visit Master again when we have time in the future." ”

If it weren't for the fact that the elders of his and his sister's family had some connections with the master, I am afraid that they would not even have the opportunity to practice with the master, and now that they can be independent, it is naturally impossible for the master to let them stay on the mountain, let alone go down the mountain for them.

"I know, but I just can't bear Master."

Shen Lian said in a low voice, she also knew that she shouldn't disturb Master, but she just wanted to live with Master and see Master.

In the eyes of others, Master may be a master who is untainted with ordinary dust and a profound practitioner of Buddhism, but for her, Master is just Master, her most important relative.

Ning Qingming reached out and touched her head, and smiled gently, "Okay, Master can't accompany you, isn't there still a senior brother by your side?" You can rest assured, no matter what time the senior brother will definitely protect you well and not let you suffer any grievances. ”

This girl seems to be clever and lively, but in fact, her mind is simpler than anyone else, so how can he not want to protect her.

"Well, Senior Brother has been the best for me."

Shen Lian felt the warmth coming from Ning Qingming's palm, and her depressed mood became a little better, revealing a bright smile at Ning Qingming.

Although she left the master, the senior brother is in the capital, and he can see him at any time, and if she is unhappy, the senior brother will also be worried, she doesn't want the senior brother to worry about herself anymore.

When the two arrived at the foot of the mountain, Shen Yi had already been waiting with them in the snow, and when he saw Shen Lian stepping on the snow, he suddenly hissed, his voice was full of joy, and then he broke free with all his strength.

As soon as Shen Lian saw Shen Lian bowing slightly, he loosened the reins, and Treading Xue immediately ran in front of Shen Lian, rubbing his head on her a few times, looking very affectionate.

"Treading snow, do you miss me, I miss you too."

Shen Lian immediately touched Treading Xue's head with a smile, smoothed its hair, and said with a smile.

After Shen Lian and Taxue made out for a while, Ning Qingming said with a smile, "Senior sister, it's time for us to go." ”

Shen Lian responded, then turned over on the horse, rode on the back of the snow, patted its back, and said with a smile, "Let's go, we are leaving!" The snow suddenly let out a long hiss, and then with a stomp of all four hooves, it suddenly rushed out like lightning.

Seeing this, Ning Qingming and Shen Yi also hurriedly turned over and got on their horses, and chased after them with a shake of the reins.

The two of them are bent on protecting their junior sisters, and the other is bent on protecting their masters, so naturally they don't worry about Shen Piing themselves and riding alone.

I was more anxious when I rushed to Mount Emei from the capital before, I only cared about hurrying along the way, and I didn't do anything else, so I wanted to go back to Beijing Shen Lian was not in a hurry, and followed Ning Qingming all the way to the mountains and rivers, stepping on horses and watching flowers, and by the way, I inspected the industries I had purchased in recent years, and selected some gifts for my father and mother.

After having had enough, she and Ning Qingming slowly returned to the capital.

Shen Lian came back this time without notifying the house in advance, she came back on a snowy ride, and first instructed her subordinates to bring the snow down to have good water and good material to settle down, and she carried the gifts she brought back and walked towards her mother's courtyard.

As soon as she saw Shen Lian walking into the courtyard, Ziying, who was watering flowers in the courtyard, smiled, saluted Shen Lian, and said with a smile, "Miss, you are back, you are not in the house these days, but Madame always talks about you, now I see you, Madame must be very happy, and the slave will go back to Madame." ”

After saying that, she put down the kettle she was using to water the flowers, and was about to walk into the house.

Shen Lian grabbed her and laughed softly, "No need, I'll just go in by myself, Ziying, you can be busy." ”

She came back quietly, just to surprise her mother, so naturally she wouldn't let Ziying go in to tell her.

"The slave and maid understand, the lady is resting on the soft collapse, the eldest lady, you can go in."

Ziying also understood Shen Lian's plan, and couldn't help but smile lightly, and also lowered her voice.

The eldest lady has always been quirky, and this time she can't say that she wants to surprise her lady again.

"Don't worry, I brought you a pair of earrings, which are not worth much, but they are quite delicate, you can wear them and play with them."

Shen Lian smiled and took out a small box from her sleeve and handed it to Ziying.

This girl speaks and does things very properly, and she is very well-behaved, she has always been well-behaved, there is no half-point transgression, and her mother is also very good at serving, and she will naturally not treat her badly.

Ziying hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Miss, this can't be helped, as the saying goes, no merit is not lost, how can the slave ask for your things from the eldest lady, you should keep it for Yun'er and Yue'er." ”

Although she also received a reward from her wife, it was when there were happy events in the house, and she didn't dare to accept the gifts from the eldest lady casually.

"Who said that you have no merit, you have served your mother well, this is the greatest credit."

Shen Lian said with a smile, "It's just a pair of earrings, it's nothing, you can serve your mother well in the future." ”

Her business is doing well, although she often rescues some orphans, and also does free clinics and the like, but in general, she is still rich, if you really talk about it, the entire industry of the Prime Minister's Mansion is not in her eyes, let alone this pair of earrings.

"The eldest lady is serious, serving the lady is the duty of the slave maid, and it is what the slave and maid should do, how can it be regarded as any credit."

Ziying shook her head and said.

"Let you take it, just take it, be polite to Miss Ben, is it possible that you don't like what Miss Ben sent?" Shen Lian stuffed the box into Ziying's hand, and then deliberately frowned, making an angry appearance.

Ziying hurriedly said, "The slave doesn't dare, don't be angry, the eldest lady, just take it." ”

Seeing Ziying accept the gift, Shen Lian smiled, "That's right, if you give you something in the future, you just have to take it." ”

After finishing speaking, she walked lightly into the house, and Ziying couldn't help but smile when she saw this.

Although Miss Ling is always smiling, she doesn't know why, she always feels that the eldest lady makes people feel more kind.

Shen Lian entered the house lightly, and at a glance, she saw Lin Ningxiu reclining on the soft couch, looking at something at the window, so she quietly walked over, covered Lin Ningxiu's eyes, and deliberately lowered her voice and said, "Guess who I am?" ”

"Qiong'er, you dead girl, you just came back and you were messing around, don't let go of your mother soon!" Lin Ningxiu was startled at first, and then laughed and scolded.

In the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, she didn't have to think about it to know that there was only one Shen Lian who dared to do this kind of thing to her.
