Chapter 113: The Master of the Pit Maid
No matter which garden maid goes in and out, they are busy in an orderly manner.
Another carriage came one after another, and the lady who was familiar with her got out of the carriage and held her hand and laughed in a low voice, her eyes glancing at Ran Changle and the others from time to time.
Because of their excellent ear power, Ran Changle lowered their voices and listened carefully.
"Sister, I heard that Miss Ran can come, but thanks to the blessing of the old lady, a great and kind person."
"Who says it's not. This eldest lady bullies her sister-in-law, has an arrogant temperament, and is extremely ugly. If it were me, I wouldn't dare to come out again and be embarrassed. ”
"Hee-hee, sister, you're wrong. That's why she has to show her face more. In this way, maybe which of the 'bright-eyed' sons of the family will take a fancy to it? ”
"Sister Takami. I heard that the matchmaker is about to break the threshold of the household waiter, my sister is gentle and moving, and her family background is good, but it is not comparable to Miss Ran, and so far no matchmaker has come to the door to say goodbye to her. ”
"My sister praised it falsely. With the blessing of the old lady, Miss Ran will have a good home. ”
"I'm afraid that the blessing will not work. You see, so many female dependents are resting in this big courtyard, respecting the queen mother, but they are the only ones who are excluded. In the end, it is the Qipin family, if it weren't for the blessing of the saints, how could they enter the Great Power Temple today. ”
"The peach orchard is sandwiched between the big courtyard and the monk's house, but it is also quiet."
……
Ran Changle smiled coldly.
Yiqing bowed his head and said, "Amitabha." Donor, please come with me. ”
A few people walked through a quiet path, and in front of them was a peach forest.
It's June, and the peach branches are already dyed red. Hanging on the tree, it is very pleasing.
Yiqing said again: "The peach orchard is in the peach forest." After the peach forest, it is the monk's house. ”
A few people walked through the quiet path, walked a cup of tea, and came across a hexagonal pavilion, which was a thatched pavilion, minimalist, with only six futons.
Walk through the thatched pavilion, walk a few more steps, and see the three thatched houses.
Yiqing stopped and said, "Taoyuan has arrived." Please rest well. Suzhai will be sent later. The little monk retired. ”
Ran Changle was blessed and smiled: "Thank you Master Yijie, thank you Xiaofu Yiqing." Taoyuan is quiet and elegant, bothered. ”
Yiqing recited it: "Amitabha." ”
Turn away.
Taozhi said angrily: "In vain, it is a holy place for Buddhism, and it is even a dog's eye to look down on people." ”
Ran Changle reprimanded: "Be cautious when you go out." The guest is as he pleases. This peach orchard is very clean, and it is really a good place to go. Go pack your things. ”
Taozhi hurriedly said: "It's the slave who lost her words." The young lady and the old lady will go to the pavilion to rest first? The slaves and maids have packed up, and then they will call you? ”
Ran Changle said with a smile: "Grandmother, I've been in the carriage for so long, just while the peach branches are cleaning up, I'll walk around with you?" ”
The old lady happened to have some questions in her heart, and wanted to discuss it with her, and said, "It's okay." ”
Ran Changle helped the old lady to walk slowly in the peach forest.
The peaches will be eaten in a few days, but unfortunately they won't be able to eat them.
Ran Changle said regretfully: "Grandmother, this peach is huge, and the flesh must be sweet. Why don't we stay a few more days and wait until the peaches are ripe before leaving? ”
The old lady laughed and scolded: "You little gluttonous cat." ”
Ran Changle was not very happy, seeing this large peach forest and this peach full of trees, his heart was extremely happy, and he couldn't wait to pick a few and taste them immediately.
I saw the old lady say again, "I didn't expect that there are still three rooms in Taolin." Grandson, this peach forest, it is said that it was built when the Great Power Temple was built.
Every year when the peaches are ripe, the temple picks some of them for incense, and gives the rest to passing pilgrims.
When ripe, this peach is as big as a bowl, the flesh has many cores and small sizes, and when you bite into it, it is full of sweetness.
When it is not ripe, take a bite and the mouth is full of bitterness. The end is magical.
It's just that before, I had never heard of a house in Taolin.
At that time, I was taken aback when I heard that Master Yijie arranged us in Taolin.
Grandson, what do you think of the move of the Master of the First Ring? ”
Ran Changle stared at the big peach in front of him and left his saliva again.
As for what my grandmother said, she only remembered the words 'full of incense', and did not listen to anything else.
The old lady knocked her head and said, "Now the peaches are not ripe, so they can't be eaten yet." ”
Then he asked the question he had just asked.
Ran Changle retracted his gaze and coquettishly: "Grandmother, the master has always been unfathomable, and my grandson can't guess his deep meaning." ”
The old lady nodded and said, "It will take half a day to pray for blessings tomorrow." If your grandson doesn't want to go, you can enjoy the scenery in the peach orchard. ”
Ran Changle didn't want to go, if the blessing was useful, she would have already made three incense sticks a day, why did she work so hard to open a fish banquet to earn money?
Prayer is nothing more than a means for those in power to control people's hearts.
Therefore, when she heard the old lady say something in her heart, she nodded and smiled: "It's still my grandmother who loves me the most." ”
"In the holy land of Buddhism, you are not allowed to run around. Besides, this peach forest is said to stretch for ten miles, don't go deep, lest you get lost. ”
"Got it, grandmother!"
After a while, Mama Lin came and said with a smile: "Old lady, eldest lady, you have already packed up." ”
Ran Changle was surprised: "So fast? ”
Mama Lin said: "The hut looks simple, and there are all kinds of things inside. And the stuff is a little old, but it's clean. The slaves and maidservants will be able to clean up. ”
Ran Changle took his grandmother's arm and smiled coquettishly: "Grandmother, let's go back, I'm hungry." ”
"Okay, you little glutton."
When he arrived at the thatched hut, Ran Changle took a closer look, and the room was clean and refreshing, with only four chairs and a tea table. Along with the tea tripods and tea cups, they are made of bamboo.
On the wall hangs a painting of a richly dressed lady with a basket on her arm, looking up, and raising her hand to pick peaches.
The peach was a little tall, and Madame stood on tiptoe slightly.
Although I can't see the face of the lady, but looking at the back, I think she is also a beautiful woman.
Other than that, there was nothing left in the main house.
Turning to the right, there is a bamboo curtain.
Momozhi smiled: "Miss, behind the bamboo curtain is the bedroom." ”
Ran Changle helped the old lady in, and when he saw it, this bedroom was also very simple.
Leaning against the wall is a large bamboo bed, which has been made and is enough to sleep two people.
Peach Branch was afraid of the cold night, so she took off the soft quilt from the carriage.
There was a small bamboo table at the head of the bed, and there was a bronze mirror on the table.
At the foot of the bed is a bamboo cabinet with two doors.
"Grandmother, you lie down first. When the vegetarian meal is ready, I will call you. ”
The old lady was old, tired from the boat, and did not excuse herself, but lay down to rest.
Ran Changle and the others quietly walked out of the house.
Tao Zhiyu said: "Miss, there is a vacant room on the right side of the main house, and there are beds in it. At night the slaves and maidservants slept here.
On the left is a kitchen. Everything is available, but it's a pity that Mrs. Liu didn't come, otherwise she could have opened a small stove for Miss. ”
Ran Changle said with a smile: "I just took the opportunity to try vegetarian food." My grandmother said that the vegetarian food at Daikoji Temple tasted excellent. ”
Sanqi carried a pot of hot water and blamed himself: "Miss, the hot water is boiling." The slave forgot to bring peach blossoms, and she can't make flower tea for the young lady. ”
"Plain water is good, too." After Ran Changle finished speaking, he said, "Let's go and give my grandmother a cold drink first." ”
Taking a deep breath, the fresh air went straight into his heart, looking at the peaches on the tree, Ran Changle said again: "Peach branch, pick a peach." Grandmother said it was not cooked and could not be eaten. I want to try it. ”
The peach branch stepped into the peach forest for the first time, and when he saw the big peach, he wanted to pick it, but he endured it and didn't pick it. As soon as Miss Xian ordered, she immediately replied: "Miss, you wait, you will be fine immediately!" ”
After speaking, he jumped under a peach tree, circled around the peach tree, and stood on tiptoe to pick a big red peach.
Purify the water and give it to her.
Ran Changle swallowed his saliva and took a bite of it happily.
Then I took the peach meat in my mouth, opened my eyes wide, and froze.
Momozhi was anxious and said, "Doesn't it taste great?" It's big and red, and it's sure to be delicious! ”
Ran Changle didn't speak, and directly handed her the peach and motioned for him to taste it.
The peach branch was not polite, took the peach, and took a small bite with a smile.
Ran Changle saw her bite the peach, quickly spit out the flesh in her mouth, wrinkled her little face, and shouted bitterly: "Sanqi, quickly pour me a glass of water!" ”
Momozhi suddenly felt that his entire mouth was bitter, especially his tongue, which was bitter and bitter.
The bitter taste ran down the tongue to the throat and then to the stomach, causing a tumbling sensation.
Hurriedly spit out the flesh, and said aggrievedly: "Miss, you pit slaves and maids......"
Ran Changle pursed his lips and snickered.
Seeing them like this, Mama Lin smiled and said, "The peaches of the Great Country Temple are dyed with fairy energy, and they can only be eaten when they are ripe." Otherwise it is bitter and astringent. ”
"When will it mature, Mama Lin?" Momozhi asked, sticking out her bitter tongue.
"Let's go five or six days, the old slave is not sure when it will be ripe."
Sanqi then said with a smile: "Anyway, Sister Taozhi can't eat it." ”
While talking, the little master Yiqing came over with vegetarian food.
Ran Changle walked a few steps briskly to meet him, took over Su Zhai, and said with a smile: "There is a little master Lao Yiqing." ”
Yiqing said: "Amitabha." The donor used it slowly, and the little monk retired. ”
"Please stay! Excuse me, when will this peach ripen? ”
Yiqing was surprised, he didn't expect Ran Changle to say his thoughts so directly, aren't the young ladies of the family shy and silent?
Still, he explained: "Most of them mature after four days. ”
"Is that a small part already ripe?!" Ran Changle's eyes lit up!
Yiqing said: "Only one tree is ripe." ”
Ran Changle swallowed his saliva and said happily: "Where is it?" ”
"If you have a fate, the donor will see you." After Yiqing finished speaking, he recited Amitabhane and left.
The only mature one was offered to the Buddha, hidden in the peach tree, and Ichiqing didn't believe she could find it.
Seeing Yiqing walking out of the peach forest, Ran Changle's eyes rolled and ordered: "Mama Lin, you go and wake up your grandmother and eat fast." Leave me alone, I'll enjoy the peach grove for a while. ”
Where would Mama Lin not know that she was thinking carefully, no wonder the old lady said that she was a little gluttonous cat, and couldn't help laughing: "I think the scenery is fake, and the peach hunt is real!" Miss, be careful, don't get lost. It is said that apart from the monks, no pilgrims have ever enjoyed the peach forest. ”
Ran Changle swept up out of thin air, landed on the peach tree on tiptoe, and said with a smile: "I found a ripe peach, turn around one by one." ”
Taozhi Sanqi hurriedly said: "Miss, be careful, don't be bumped into by the monk!" ”
