It is said that since Yang Jiqing was reprimanded by his mother for studying his last trip, and after he became famous, he closed the door every day, ignored the things outside the window, and only stayed in the study.

Ten days later, on March 14, he begged his mother to allow him to go out to play and rest on the 15th day of the new year, so as not to suffocate himself in the room every day.

In the early morning of the next day, Yang Jiqing rushed to Puzhao Nunnery early, and under the guidance of the temple presiding officer, Zeng Shitai, came to Mrs. Anxiu's room, explained his identity, lied that his mother was a little sick, and begged Mrs. An Xiu to copy a scripture for her mother to pray for blessings.

When Dong'er and Xiaohe came into their mother's room with a wicker basket for their daily use, Mrs. An Xiu was bowing her head and ploughing, and Ji Qing was grinding and serving beside her.

Dong'er recognized Yang Jiqing, who had seen her fall last time, first displeased, and then puzzled: "This son, what are you doing in Shitai's room?" ”

Ji Qing repeated the words of his mother who was unwell and begged Master An to copy the scriptures, Dong'er heard it, had nothing to say, and came up to dissuade her mother: "Master, didn't you say that your finger joints hurt a lot last time, you better rest for a while and I'll help you copy it!" I've been writing faster and faster lately. "As he spoke, he came up and grabbed the pen.

Master An blocked his daughter too much, and coldly refused: "You can't do this, you are the same as your father, the gods and Buddhas are on the head, your heart has always been insincere, and it is not effective to copy it, and he is not in a hurry to get this scripture, I will copy it for him when it is convenient, and forget it when it is inconvenient." ”

After all, he still bows his head and keeps copying, as if his daughter comes every day, and it is not uncommon to see him for half a month.

Dong'er turned her head and asked Yang Jiqing: "This son, you are a man's family, why don't you go to the monk's temple to ask for scriptures, but you want to run to this nunnery every once in a while?" Although they are monks, they are different from men and women. ”

Ji Qing replied respectfully: "The girl doesn't know, this Puzhao Nunnery is our Yang family's incense courtyard, and there will be people from the Yang family who come here to burn incense and worship the Buddha in three days, and I am just one of them, so it is not surprising that the girl will see me more often in the future." ”

Dong'er joked to her mother: "No wonder Mrs. Shi got up early in the morning and worked hard to write, it turned out to be serving the powerful." ”

Mrs. Anxiu ignored her as if she hadn't heard her daughter's sarcasm.

Ji Qing said to Dong'er: "Girl, the ink I sharpened for Mrs. Shi is enough for Mrs. Shi to use for most of the day, we are always talking here and bothering Mrs. Shi, why don't we go out for a walk together and go to the Buddha Hall to make incense." ”

Dong'er didn't give him affection, and said without thinking: "You go and burn it, I won't go, your family's incense is not working, and it will be burned in vain." ”

When she said this, she secretly glanced at Master An, and the corners of her eyes were slightly full of delicate and naughty, as if she wanted to deliberately ridicule

The Ann Cultivator is too ordinary.

Yang Jiqing really didn't expect that there was such a delicate and naughty side under her dignified and beautiful face, so she couldn't help but smile and asked, "Why did the girl say this?" ”

Dong'er tilted her head and watched Mrs. Anxiu's face with interest, as if she was deliberately playing tricks on Mrs. Anxiu, wanting to see if her mother would be angry and annoyed, she didn't pay attention to Yang Jiqing's questions at all.

After sitting for a while, Dong'er got up and said goodbye to her mother and went down the mountain. Ji Qing claimed that she had been out for a long time, and she had other things to do when she went home, and she also said goodbye to Master An, although Dong'er was extremely reluctant to go with him, but she went down the mountain from Puzhao'an, there was only one way to go, and she had no other choice but to go on the road with him.

On the mountain trail, Yang Jiqing, Yang Chen, Dong'er, and Xiaohe are slightly familiar with each other, no longer as strange as last time, the two girls walk slowly, and the two boys are not in a hurry, deliberately grinding and taking care of the girls' walking speed.

The question in Yang Jiqing's heart has not been solved, it is still the problem of his own incense, and he still asks Dong'er why he said that the incense in his Yang family temple is not working, and the paper is burned in vain.

"Twenty years ago, there was a couple of lovers who were about to get married, and the two came to Puzhao Nunnery together to burn incense and make a wish, the girl made a wish to love only one person in her life, and she wished that she would only love this girl for the rest of her life. Soon after making a wish, the two got married, and after a few years, the two also had children, who expected that ten years later, a younger and more beautiful woman came to their house, saying that she had had a relationship with her a few years ago, and dragged out a boy from behind as evidence of their love. ”

After saying this, Dong'er squinted at Yang Jiqing with a smile: "The girl who made a wish was a sincere heart back then, she didn't ask for anything else in this life, but I just hope that this sweetheart will never live up to her, who knows if the Buddha of Puzhaoan was asleep or went to visit relatives and friends, and it didn't come true at all." ”

Yang Jiqing naturally understood that what Dong'er said must be the story of Mrs. An Xiu, and he said, "Then why did that girl go back to the Buddha who failed her?" ”

Dong'er also guessed that this rich man must have known the relationship between Master An and his mother-daughter, and the so-called copying of scriptures was just an excuse, but she wanted to take this opportunity to get close to herself, she sneered: "Maybe what Master Tai reads every day is not a scripture, but a crusade against the Buddha's scriptures." ”

Xiaohe was okay, he was used to Miss's humor, but Yang Chen couldn't help laughing and laughed, Yang Jiqing glared at him and quickly covered his mouth.

When the four of them arrived at the bottom of the mountain, the tall horses of the Yang family and the carriage hired by the Wan family were waiting at the bottom of the mountain.

On the morning of the first day of the fourth lunar month, Dong'er and Xiaohe took a hired carriage down the mountain, and as soon as the two opened the curtain, they saw a small sedan chair waiting on the side of the road. ”

Dong'er was stunned at first, and then excused herself: "Yang Gongzi is serious, I have been walking this mountain road for many years, and it is not as hard as Gongzi thinks, if Gongzi insists on being so polite, I will be embarrassed to come in the future." ”

Yang Jiqing hurriedly appeased: "If the girl doesn't like it, I won't toss it in the future, but today the sedan chair has been carried, so the girl will sit on this one, and the wages of the sedan chair drivers can be taken with peace of mind." ”

Dong'er thought to herself: "This person has rushed up and down the mountain with me three times and five times? It must have been a clear inquiry about my travel rules before deliberately rushing with me, that's it, just this time, in the future, I will disrupt the days, I don't believe that you can come to squat every day. ”

Dong'er sat in the sedan chair, Xiaohe followed the sedan chair, this little girl is a year younger than Dong'er, like a child to play, a moment to see a cluster of extremely gorgeous wildflowers and a surprise called Miss to look quickly, and a while and shouted that the two sedan chair drivers go a little slower, they can't keep up, and they go very hard. Yang Jiqing quietly followed behind the sedan chair, like a little girl brought by Dong'er and Dong'er.

When he came to the nunnery, Ji Qing used the excuse of going to get the scriptures that the master had copied, and went to the teacher's room with Dong'er first, Dong'er didn't say anything, but Xiaohe was straightforward and urged: "Son, you take the scriptures and leave quickly, my young lady still has a lot of thoughtful things to tell the teacher, and it is so inconvenient for us to talk to you as an outsider." You know? ”

Ji Qing hurriedly agreed, and told the sedan chair to wait outside the gate of the nunnery, which meant that he would wait for Dong'er to go down the mountain together.

The two walked into Mrs. Shi's room together, Ji Qing took the scriptures, thanked Mrs. Shi and went out.

Mrs. An Xiu had doubts when she saw Ji Qing and Dong'er coming in together, and after Yang Jiqing left, she asked, "Dong'er, what's going on?" Why did you stumble with the little son of the Yang family, and you still came together this time? ”

Before Dong'er could speak, Xiaohe smiled and said: "Mrs., don't think about it, this Yang Gongzi must have liked our young lady, last time he insisted on going down the mountain with us, we walked so slowly, they were not in a hurry, just walked with us slowly, this time it was good, when we came to the bottom of the mountain, they directly carried a small sedan chair to send the young lady up and down the mountain, it was really careful and considerate." ”

When Mrs. Shi heard this, her face became even more serious: "Dong'er, this Yang Gongzi is a son of an official eunuch, how can you be so close to him, does your father know about this?" ”

Dong'er muttered, "Father doesn't know, I haven't told him yet." This Yang Gongzi I only met him on the way down the mountain today last month, and the second time I saw him was in the room of the master on the 15th of last month, this time is the third time, where would I have thought that he would bring a sedan chair to wait for me at the bottom of the mountain. I was also shocked."

Xiaohe interjected heartlessly: "Mrs. Shi, I think our young lady's Hongluan Star has moved." ”

Dong'er raised her hand and slapped Xiaohe, and said angrily: "A girl who doesn't have a long memory, you also said a few times ago that my Hongluanxing moved, but as a result, it didn't move when it moved." When you see a young man courting me, you think nonsense, and every time there is no beginning and no end, and you don't learn your lesson, you just shout. ”

"Miss, it's not those matchmakers' bad things, insisting that Miss has bad legs and feet, it's like a cabbage that makes a hole in the worms, picking and choosing all kinds of things, so angry that the old man asked my father to get rid of them. I don't think this boy dislikes us, and Miss doesn't dislike him, so ---" Xiaohe's eyes rolled and looked at Shitai: "I think this son and Miss must like each other." ”

Dong'er's eyes widened, and she bluffed Xiaohe's arm meat. Xiaohe rubbed his arm and pretended to be aggrieved: "Mrs., Miss beat me." ”

The Anxiu Master ignored the fight between the two girls, and poured cold water on him: "All love will be impermanent for a long time, life is more fearful, and life is in danger........

"Again—" Dong'er interrupted her mother's words impatiently, turned her head and asked the girl, "Xiaohe, do you understand Mrs. Shi's words?" ”

Xiaohe shook her head, making it clear that she didn't understand.

"It's best if you don't understand." Dong'er breathed a sigh of relief and complained to her mother: "Mrs. Shi, you have a big temperament and a small amount of energy, you won't let go if you catch a mistake made by my father, and you won't forgive others for the rest of your life." You can't be like this, you have to miss the beautiful things that two people are together, such as spring flowers and autumn moons, summer wind and winter snow, you always think about his badness, and I can't wait for me and Xiaohe to see through the red dust when we are young, this is not the style of monks. Don't recite this kind of verse in front of me and Xiaohe in the future. ”

Although Xiaohe didn't understand Mrs. Shi's words, she knew that Miss and Mrs. Shi were still in opposition, so she also interjected to help: "That's it, Mrs. Shi, what Miss said is also your biological daughter, men are afraid of getting into the wrong business, women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, Miss's lifelong event Master Tai but if she can help with a palm, then slap an eye, our family is now Miss is as lonely as Dumiao, not even a brother and sister, in the future, as long as Miss is doing well, the whole family is doing well, if Miss meets someone unladylike, our whole family is not happy, This kind of thing doesn't dare to be so-so, it's almost fine. ”

The corners of Mrs. Shitai's mouth twitched, and at the end, another sentence came: "Saion lost his horse, he doesn't know whether it is a blessing or not, there are many things in the world, you people in the world should do it yourself." ”

Although Dong'er experienced the emotional changes of her parents when she was young and tasted the impermanence of life, she can't withstand her current youth, full of grace and snow, talented and beautiful, not to mention that her father has always been a dashing and uninhibited man, and her mother is also full of guilt and concern, so there is not too much sadness and frustration about the love between men and women.

Farewell to his mother, came to the temple gate, Ji Qing has been waiting respectfully next to the sedan chair for a long time, seeing Dong'er coming out of the inside, or happily come forward, help Dong'er into the sedan chair, Dong'er saw his delicate face with a bright smile, enthusiastic and innocent, without a trace of arrogance of the children of large families, nor the slickness and vulgarity of the gentlemen, and there is no cheapness of a man of this age who pursues a woman in order to achieve the goal and does not care about the face of the lowly clothes, and his good impression of him has steadily increased. When they entered the sedan chair, the hands of the two accidentally touched, and they were even more ashamed, their faces were hot and hot, and they hurriedly got into the sedan chair with their heads down, so as not to be seen by Xiaohe.

When she sat down, she felt that there was something under the cushion, turned it out and held it in her hand, it turned out to be a slightly old but still neat "Book of Songs", she picked up the book and flipped it over, and found the entrained paper in the "Guan Ju" article, I thought it would be a letter, and it was actually a very exquisite illustration, limited by the paper area, the painting is very small, but the picture is exquisite and attentive to the extreme, this is a very exquisite and meticulous painting, the theme is "Guan Ju", At the bottom of the picture, a young man lies on the bed with his eyes open, daydreaming, and above the picture is the young man's "daydream": a fair lady collects so-called "wattles" on a flat boat. Looking closely at the faces of the young men and women on the picture, it is not necessary to say that the lines at the corners of the mouths and eyebrows are delicate and nuanced, even the eyelashes of the two are countable, and the folds on the clothes of the two are also very in line with the environment in which each person lives.

Dong'er has seen a large-format excellent painting, such a small-format masterpiece is really the first time to see, even if it is not from Yang Jiqing's hand, she will like this illustration very much, looking at it, remembering the intention of the painter, she began to blush, thinking left and right I don't know how to deal with it, simply left the illustration and put it on my body, the book was still put back in its place, and when I got off the sedan chair, I pretended to be nothing and said goodbye to Ji Qing's master and servant, and took the carriage hired by her own and left.

Yang Jiqing found that Dong'er left an illustration, I don't know if she likes it or not, whether to take it back and destroy it or keep it as a souvenir, she is uneasy, and the next half a month is like a year, thinking that she shouldn't act so abruptly, and then thinking that the next time she sees her, she will no longer be half-hidden. On the fifteenth day, I ran to the foot of the mountain early in the morning to wait for Dong'er, left and right, and I didn't see Dong'er's master and servant on the third pole of the day, and sent someone up the mountain to ask if it was already on the mountain, Yang Chen came back and said that the nun in the nunnery said that Dong'er's master and servant had not been here at all today, Ji Qing was even more anxious, and then he guessed wildly: Could it be that she was sick and unwell, so she didn't come up to the mountain to visit Shitai? Or is there something else at home that has been delayed and can't come, instead of thinking about it here, it is better to go to her house to see it in person and find out what is going on.

Thinking of this, he didn't have the heart to go up the mountain, and took Yang Chen straight to Shili Street Wanjia.
