Chapter 43: The Two Sisters of Qing Qin Zhai
Xiao Mingyue just recited a sutra every day, and the meditation master asked Xiao Mingyue not to read it all in one breath, so he often sent some wild fruits and fresh vegetables in the nunnery, but showed a very respectful appearance, and Xiao Mingyue also politely returned the salute to the retreat, and the other nuns in the nunnery also knew that Xiao Mingyue and others were not small, and they all came to stammer, and Ziyunzhai became a place like a market.
On this day, Amber said with a smile while holding the cabbage worm and feeding the sharp-tailed swifts: "I didn't expect people here to move around like this, and the threshold of our place will be broken in the past few days." Yun Zhu, who was arranging her clothes on the side, looked at the room and said, "This meditation master is also a snobbish person, and now that he has received our silver, he will come to offer him every day, if there is no more silver for her in the future, I am afraid I don't know if she will be so attentive!"
"It's reasonable for her to do this, but at the moment we are too lively here, and people come and go every day, which doesn't seem like a place for pure cultivation." Xiao Mingyue sat on a wicker chair and said while reading a book.
After hearing this, Yun Zhu hurriedly put down the work in his hand, looked at Xiao Mingyue and said, "It's better to have someone come tomorrow, and the slaves and maids will send them, so as not to disturb the young lady to rest!"
Xiao Mingyue looked at the "Book of Tea" in her hand intently, and said: "There is no need to be like this, they are all guests when they come, how can there be any reason to drive away." ”
Amber frowned and said, "So what are we going to do?" In the past few days, I have not even spared my luggage to put it away, and I spend most of the day entertaining those nuns. ”
Cai Wei, who was watering the begonias on the side, listened to it and said, "Those nuns do come more often. ”
Xiao Mingyue put down the book after listening to it, looked at a few people and said with a smile: "I know, you have been busy these days, and I will make cold cakes for you to eat later." ”
As soon as Amber heard that there was a cold cake to eat, she immediately became excited and said, "What Miss said is true?" ”
"When did Miss lie to us?" Cai Wei also smiled.
"Of course, I remember that I haven't eaten for a long time, and it's rare to have free time today, which can be regarded as a reward for your hard work in the past few days." Xiao Mingyue said.
So, several people worked together in the kitchen in Zhai to help Xiao Mingyue.
"Mix noodles, boil water, stir batter ......" Finally, Xiao Mingyue poured goat's milk on it, poured brown sugar juice, and finally put red date slices and lychee meat, and it was ready.
Amber preemptively took a piece of it, and praised it while eating: "Miss's skill in making cold cakes is really getting better and better, and the slave's wish is to be able to eat the cold cakes made by Miss herself every day, and I don't want to eat anything else." ”
Cai Wei quipped on the side: "That's unacceptable, how can a beautiful lady like Miss Jin Yu become a cook for your own selfish desires!"
Yun Zhu also looked at Amber and hunched over and smiled: "Amber girl, this cold cake is delicious, but if you eat too much, it will hurt your stomach!" ”
Amber ate it with relish and said, "I'm not afraid, my stomach is fine!" ”
Xiao Mingyue said: "If you like to eat, I will always make it in the future." ”
Then he said to Cai Wei: "I'll pick a plate and send it to Qingqin Zhai later." ”
Amber listened to it on the sidelines, frowned and said, "Miss, no one from Qingtanzhai has come to our courtyard in the past few days. ”
Xiao Mingyue smiled and said to Amber: "Preconceived, we are just here to be considered guests, and it is appropriate to take the initiative to visit them." ”
After that, he asked Cai Wei to fill a plate full of cold cakes and sent them to Qingqin Zhai, and he and Yunzhu boiled some sour plum soup, and the amber was still drunk with relish on the side, admiring again and again.
Cai Wei sent the cold cake to Qingqin Zhai, and came back after a while.
Xiao Mingyue asked about the situation of the two girls in Qingqinzhai, and Cai Wei said: "That Qingqinzhai is really cold enough, there are only two girls, it looks like a pair of sisters, and they look eight or nine points alike." One of them seemed to be very enthusiastic, and the other was called 'Huineng' who didn't like to deal with people, so I went only to Huixin to entertain me warmly and give me some candied fruit. ”
When Xiao Mingyue heard this, she said, "It's good to send the things." ”
Amber said: "I don't know what kind of person lives in this Qingtan Zhai? ”
Xiao Mingyue said: "Since she is also a young lady who practices on behalf of her, she must have her own troubles when she comes here. ”
Yun Zhu smiled when he heard this: "Our young lady treats everyone equally, and she is kind to others wherever she goes!"
After that, several people ate cold cakes and drank sour plum soup together, and talked a lot about themselves.
Xiao Mingyue looked at the sharp-billed swift in the cage, and couldn't help but think of Yu Wendi, thinking of his son-in-law who has always played cards out of common sense, and I don't know what the meaning of this swift sent this time is? Thinking about it again, I thought that I would never like Yu Wendi, although I admitted that I did have a different view of him, but that didn't mean I liked it. Thinking of what Chen Xian said to him that day, he couldn't help but hope that it would end as soon as possible and leave here early, so that he could be with Chen Xian for a long time.
On this day, Xiao Mingyue had just had breakfast when she heard Amber come and say, "Qing Qinzhai's wisdom asks to see you." ”
Xiao Mingyue heard this and hurriedly let Huixin in, and after coming in, she saw a thin figure, a face like a silver basin, a round of crescent moon eyebrows, white and tender skin, and a green silk was coiled behind her head by colored satin, and her face was amiable.
Xiao Mingyue hurriedly said: "Sister, sit down, I have wanted to visit my sister for a long time, but I don't want my sister to come over in person today." After speaking, he asked Cai Wei to pour tea for Huixin.
Huixin smiled: "I have long wanted to visit my sister, but I am afraid that my sister must be very busy when she first came here, yesterday I received my sister to send cold cakes, the taste is very good, today I specially came to thank you, I made some snacks for my sister, I hope my sister will not disdain." After speaking, he handed the food box to Yunzhu.
Xiao Mingyue said with a smile: "What does my sister say, my sister is already very happy to come to Mingyue, I don't know any friends here, if my sister doesn't dislike it, we will often move around in the future." ”
Huixin smiled when she heard this: "This is very good, my sister doesn't dislike us, we can't ask for it." ”
Xiao Mingyue was very happy when she heard this, so she remembered again and said: "My surname is Xiao, and my sister will call me Mingyue in the future!" "
Huixin said with a little hesitation: "Huixin is my legal name when I arrived here, my own name is Song Qingyuan, and my sister's name is Song Qingluan, but she is not in good health and does not like to move around, and I hope my sister will forgive me." "
When Xiao Mingyue heard Huixin say this, she said, "It turned out to be Sister Qingyu, and my law name is Qingyun." "
Then he said: "I brought some medicinal herbs with me when I came, so I can help Sister Qingluan." "
The green kite sighed and said: "The doctor said that my sister's disease was brought out of the mother's womb, and said that I am not afraid of your jokes, her disease will attack when it is cold or hot, and it is said that the heat poison brought out of the mother's womb is a deficiency disease." "
Xiao Mingyue thought about it and said: "That should be caused by the weakness of qi and blood, I will ask Amber to prepare some wild ginseng, Ejiao and red dates to Sister Qingluan, I think it will improve after some time." "
Qing Kite listened and hurriedly said, "Why is this so troublesome Sister Mingyue!"
Xiao Mingyue comforted: "Sister Kite don't worry, now that we live together in this Yuncui Nuan, we always have to take care of each other, and if Mingyue needs the two sisters in the future, I will ask my sister to help." "
Qing Kite was originally very resistant, but when she heard Xiao Mingyue say this, she thought that Xiao Mingyue must be a kind young lady from a wealthy family, and thinking of her sister's illness, she really needs good ginseng as a medicine.
said gratefully: "In this way, I will thank Sister Mingyue first." "
Xiao Mingyue said: "Now that we are sisters, my sister doesn't have to be polite to me anymore." "
"My sister and I came here because our parents died young, and my uncle was afraid that my aunt would not adopt us, so my sister and I came here to live on the meager land left by our parents. It can be seen that my sister has an outstanding appearance and temperament, and she doesn't seem to be sick, why did she come here? "
Xiao Mingyue said: "I am praying for my aunt and family, and I heard that this Yuncui Mountain is very effective, so I came here. "
The green kite exclaimed: "My sister Bodhisattva is heartfelt, and she is dedicated to goodness, and there will be good rewards." "
Then the two chatted some common words, and Qing Kite returned to Qingqin Zhai with the fine wild ginseng and ejiao given by Xiao Mingyue.
Amber said puzzledly: "Miss was also generous just now, giving them such good ginseng." "
Xiao Mingyue said with a smile: "It's just a medicinal herb, and it's only precious when it can save people." Besides, saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter! "
After hearing this, Amber thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she said: "What Miss said is reasonable, I hope that Miss Qingluan's illness can get better as soon as possible, so as to live up to Miss's good intentions." "
Yun Zhu rolled the veil on the side, and said with a smile: "Our young lady is so beautiful and kind, I don't know which blessed son can marry our young lady in the future." "
Cai Wei listened to it and said with a smile: "I don't know about others, but I know that the party king must be unlucky!"
After saying that, several maids laughed together.
When Xiao Mingyue heard this, she said with a smile: "If you talk nonsense again, I won't spare you." "
After saying that, he walked over and had a good time with a few people.
