Chapter Seventy-Three: Rest
Tong Yan complained silently in her heart.
Without the three of them, Shikong and her walked faster.
"I didn't expect the county to be so good." Shikong turned his head and smiled.
Tong Yan smiled slightly, shook her head and said, "It's still not as good as you, I see that this is almost at the gate of the temple, and you don't even have half a drop of sweat on your forehead." ”
Shikong laughed, "The poor monk has long been used to going up and down the mountain on weekdays, how can he be compared with the county lord." ”
I'm afraid he wants to say, how can she, a pampered little girl, be compared to him.
Tong Yan smiled silently, lowered her head and continued to climb the stone steps.
After walking for another half a pillar of incense, they finally climbed the last stone step.
Tong Yan's cheeks were flushed, a few strands of broken hair on her forehead were stuck to her forehead, and the four maids were not much better, they were all sweating.
After all, it was noon, and the sun was shining.
From a distance, there were not a few pilgrims in the main hall, only a few young monks in the courtyard.
Shikong led them directly to the courtyard behind the main hall.
I didn't expect that there were so many courtyards behind this temple, and it took several turns to reach the courtyard where they were going to live.
Tong Yan took a brief look, this yard is very large, and there are many houses.
In the corner of the courtyard stood a big tree with thick arms around it, towering into the sky, with lush branches and leaves, and there was a pool in the courtyard of the courtyard, Tong Yan walked over and looked into the water, there were two blooming water lilies in it, as well as a few fish and small shrimp swimming around.
"Is the donor satisfied?" Shikong asked.
Tong Yan smiled and bowed, "Thank you, Master, I'm very satisfied." ”
"Amitabha." Shi Kong clasped his hands together, "After the donor's luggage, they will send it over, if there is any need or arrangement, the donor sent a maid to the front to find the poor monk or other monks." ”
"Okay." Tong Yan responded with a smile, and after Shikong said Amitabha Buddha again, she took her leave.
As soon as the front foot of the release was gone, their box was carried in on the back foot.
It's just that the four of them didn't arrive, and Tong Yan didn't choose a room either, and the boxes were put in the courtyard for the monks, and they came to clean up when they all arrived.
After the monks retreated, Tong Yan walked around the courtyard and then went to each room to take a look, which was very simple, but the advantage was that both the floor and the objects were wiped clean and tidy, and they were spotless.
Ji Yue smiled and said: "It's still the main house, and the room is spacious and bright." ”
But Tong Yan is not ready to live in the main house, and the main house still has to be left to Mrs. Wang.
She went to the hall and sat down in a chair, holding her cheeks in boredom.
Yun Xiang carried a pot of hot water into the courtyard, and Qingzhi quickly found a set of tea sets from the box and came to brew the tea leaves.
"Is the county lord hungry? Why don't you go and let them bring some food first? Qingzhi took a cup of tea and put it in Tong Yan's hand.
"Let's wait for them to come and get together, I think it's almost time." Tong Yan looked outside the room.
Saying that Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrived, a little novice led Mrs. Wang and them in.
Seeing that Tonghui's expression was still not good, she was supported by the maid, but her lips were still pale and her eyes were blank.
"How's Sister?" Tong Yan walked out of the hall, looked at Mrs. Wang and asked.
"Just now I asked the master to diagnose the pulse, saying that it is not only heat stroke, but also tired, I have never been far away since I was a child, and at first glance I was riding a carriage and climbing a mountain, and my body couldn't stand it, and I needed to rest in bed to recuperate." Madame Wang frowned.
Tonghui smiled weakly, and said weakly: "I'm causing you trouble." ”
"What's the trouble, don't think about it so much, a good rest is the right way." Madame Wang took her hand and comforted her.
In the end, Mrs. Wang took Tonghui and Wang Lan to live in the main room, and Tongyan and Tongyue lived in the east wing.
The maids carried the boxes to pack up their things, and went to the dining hall to preach vegetarian food.
This vegetarian meal was also very delicious, and Tong Yan ate a whole bowl of rice with all kinds of dishes.
Mrs. Wang, Tongyue, and Wang Lan also ate more than usual, and they didn't know whether this vegetarian meal was too delicious, or they were very hungry all the way.
Tonghui didn't have such a good appetite, she didn't even have lunch, so she went to lie down in the back room, and asked the dining hall to make another mung bean gruel to relieve the heat and send it over, and after barely drinking it, she was ice and salt water, and it took a while to get better.
After the four girls in Tong Yan's house took turns to eat, they were also busy until the afternoon before they finished cleaning up.
Tong Yan looked at the renovated room, only to know what was in the several boxes she brought, the bedding on the bed had been changed, the gauze tent was also hung with new ones, there were white porcelain vases on the windowsill, incense was also smoked in the whole room, and there were various tea sets and saucers on the table, and even the pen, ink, paper and inkstone she used on weekdays were also brought.
She had nothing to do, so she lay on the bed on all fours, only to realize the exhaustion of her body, and she fell asleep quickly in a daze.
Qingzhi quietly covered her belly, put down the gauze tent, and retreated.
When she woke up, it was already dinner time, and Ji Yue came in to wake her up.
Seeing that the maids' spirits were much better, I thought it was while she was sleeping, and she also took a small rest.
"How's Tonghui?" She asked casually as she looked in the mirror.
Suzune was taking care of her hair and said with a smile: "It's much better, but I heard that I still don't have an appetite, so I don't think I will get up for dinner." ”
Tong Yan pondered for a while, it would be better to visit, heat stroke is not big, it is not small, I heard that there are also deaths due to heat stroke.
Tonghui was still lying on the bed, and when Tongyan entered the house, she had just drunk a bowl of thick porridge, and she looked much better.
It seemed that there was no big problem, and after saying a few words in a hurry, Tong Yan went to the hall for dinner.
This vegetarian food is really still vegetarian, not as delicious as noon, but it is not bad, and it is more delicious than the vegetarian dishes made by the palace.
Mrs. Wang, Wang Lan and Tongyue were also in a lot better, and they all rested in the afternoon.
"It's tired and hot today, let's rest early in the evening, so that we can rest for a good night." After Mrs. Wang saw that everyone had used it well, she instructed her more, and one tired was enough for her to have a headache, for fear that another one would be sick in bed.
Everyone responded, and after dinner, they dispersed.
However, Tong Yan slept all afternoon, very energetic, and just had dinner, her stomach was full, where could she sleep.
She walked around the yard twice, and saw that the lights in Mrs. Wang's house and Tonghui's house were turned off, and even Tongyue had finished washing up and was about to rest.
After Qingzhi covered his sleeves and yawned, his eyes moistened and said, "Didn't the county lord rest earlier?" ”
Tong Yan looked at her sleepy appearance, and couldn't bear to toss anymore, walked to the house, nodded and said, "Wash up and rest." ”
"Okay." Aoeda breathed a sigh of relief.
