Chapter 2 Old Things
The moment I stepped out of the village, a moist breath mixed with the fragrance of flowers and plants came to my face.
"Qianmo traffic, chickens and dogs smell each other." This sentence in "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring" suddenly appeared in Qiao Ran's mind, and as far as she could see, a low house was bathed in the morning light, and the smoke was rising, just like the "Farming Fun Map" seen in the history museum, she had never thought that she would become the person in the picture one day.
A wave of joy welled up in my heart.
"Miss." The little girl's red beans pounced on her eyes with red circles.
The door of Zhuangzi also closed at this time, and there was a violent noise, which was enough to represent the disgust for her person.
Qiao Ran didn't care, but Hongdou's tears fell again: "The doctor just had an accident, and they ...... like this"
The warmth of human affection and the hot and cold state of the world are nothing more than that.
"Let's go!" Qiao Ran touched her head and comforted.
……
Xuanzhen Temple is located on the halfway mountainside of Qixia Mountain outside the city, it has a history of 100 years so far, it is also a famous view of Jinling, every first day of the new year, half a month is crowded with pilgrims, and the incense is prosperous.
Twenty years ago, the pilgrims donated money to build a road that spiraled up from the foot of the mountain for carriages to pass, so that the carriages of pilgrims could go all the way to the gate of the Taoist temple and stop.
Today is not the first month and a half, because there are no pilgrims, and they came early, so that when the carriage stopped at the gate of the Xuanzhen Temple, only a Taoist girl yawned and cleaned the square outside the Taoist Temple.
The memory of this body tells her that she has hardly been out of the house since she was a child, and of course Hongdou, who is her personal maid, too. Although Xuanzhenguan is famous, as a "broom star" that everyone avoids, she has never entered such a "Daomen Holy Land".
The grief of the little girl leaving Zhuangzi has long been replaced by the joy of being about to live in such a "Daomen Holy Land", she happily jumped out of the carriage and then turned around and helped Qiao Ran to get out of the carriage, and excitedly pointed to the gate of Xuanzhenguan and said: "Miss, it's Xuanzhenguan!" In the past, the mother-in-law in Zhuangzi often mentioned it, saying that the sign of Xuanzhen Guan was effective, the vegetarian food was delicious, and their pastries were ......."
Qiao Ran nodded, glanced at Xuanzhen Guan and looked down the mountain. The location of the Xuanzhen Temple is excellent, and from here, you can see Jinling Castle at a glance. In the early morning of this season, the fog is thick and dewy, so that from here, Jinling City is shrouded in a haze, and you can vaguely see the pavilions and pavilions in the city, the eaves and corners are flying horizontally, and occasionally one or two corners of the hook break through the thick fog and stretch out, like a few outlined ink paintings.
One of them was excited here, but Li Bo, who was driving the car, sighed, shook his head, and then stepped forward and said to the Taoist aunt who was cleaning the square: "Real person, our young lady is here." ”
Dao Gu, who was holding a broom in her hand, stopped cleaning and looked up, her eyes fell on the two girls who were talking, and blurted out: "This is that Miss Qiao?" ”
The one who kept shouting "Miss is long, Miss is short" should be Miss Qiao's maid. Compared with the maid who was looking around, the "famous" Miss Qiao was quietly facing away from her, and she didn't know what she was looking at.
Although it is early spring now, there is still some spring cold on the mountain, and I have inquired before I came, the two girls are wearing thick winter clothes, but even so, that Miss Qiao is not bloated at all, standing there with a curling back.
As if hearing someone call her name, Miss Qiao finally turned around.
The moment she saw the girl turn her head, Dao Gu couldn't help but sigh secretly. The girl in front of her has skin like clotted fat, a nose and cherry lips, a pair of eyes shaped like peach blossoms, and her bright eyes are slightly circulating, and there is an indescribable charm of grace. She has been a monk in Xuanzhen Temple for 20 years, and there are many beautiful women among the pilgrims, but there are very few who can compare with them.
Such a good look...... It's a pity that it has such a reputation. Thinking of this, Dao Gu glanced at her sympathetically, didn't say any nonsense, stretched out her hand to the side and said, "It's already arranged, you can come with me!" ”
Seeing that Dao Gu didn't enter the Xuanzhen Temple at all, and walked straight to the curved side road next to the Xuanzhen Temple, Hongdou was shocked: "Didn't we go to the Xuanzhen Temple?" ”
Qiao Ran reached out and touched her head: What a stupid child, how can a "broom star" live in a famous Jinling view like Xuanzhen Temple? If people know, will there be pilgrims willing to come to the door? After all, she is so "famous", I think it has already become a joke after tea and dinner in the city.
The residence arranged by the Fang family is said to be the Xuanzhen Temple, but it is not in the Xuanzhen Temple, the path next to the view bypasses most of the Xuanzhen Temple is a pond, and in the middle of the pond is a wooden bridge that only allows two or three people to pass, and after crossing the wooden bridge, it is the place where she will stay in the future.
Before he could get out of the sadness of not being able to get rid of the spiritual lots, vegetarian food, and pastries of the Xuanzhen Temple, after seeing the small courtyard where they would stay in the future, Hongdou's sadness turned into anger in an instant: "What do you mean by this? Do you want to use our young lady as a monster? ”
The small courtyard across the pond from the Xuanzhen Temple was covered with all kinds of yellow rune paper, and this scene seemed to suppress some ghosts and monsters!
Dao Gu blushed and said: "This is what Second Mrs. Fang meant, the two female donors don't like to dismantle it, and someone will come to deliver the meal in the view of three meals a day." Donor, Poor Dao still has morning classes to do, so he will go first! With that, he turned and ran away.
"Outsiders, I'm a luff!" The little girl Hongdou angrily kicked in the direction of Dao Gu's escape, if Qiao Ran hadn't grabbed her just now, she would have rushed out and grabbed Dao Gu.
Qiao Ran shook her head a little amused. In the memory of Miss Qiao, the original owner of this body: the little girl Hongdou is an obedient and sensible little girl who may be bullied when she goes out. Now it seems that being obedient and sensible is only listening to her, and being soft and gentle is only for her, and there is no need to worry about being bullied when you go out.
What a silly boy! But I can't blame her, imagine that she has been locked up in a huge Zhuangzi since she was a child, and all she sees and hears is those subordinate servants on the Zhuangzi, and the outside world is almost completely isolated from this child. The impact of the living environment on people is not unlimited.
"That's fine, at least it's safe." Qiao Ran said.
There are "monsters" guarding here, and the occasional pilgrim who has gone astray does not dare to approach, after all, those who will come to Shangxiang must believe in this kind of thing.
A sentence immediately quieted down the angry red bean, and she said hatefully: "That slave maid will write it down first, and then settle accounts with them later!" ”
Qiao Ran smiled and looked at the pond in front of him, there were a lot of lotus flowers planted in the pond, although it was still early for the lotus flowers to bloom, but the lotus leaves floating on the pond could vaguely imagine the situation when the lotus flowers were in full bloom in summer.
This place has a good view, and most importantly it is quiet, and Qiao Ran is very satisfied. Being quiet means doing a lot of things without being afraid to do things, and that's good.
With the help of Li Bo, the boxes they brought were moved into the small courtyard.
The door lock in the yard has been replaced, there are not many things in the yard and the house, there is nothing else except for some basic beds and tables, and the cleaning is quite clean, but it is much better than she imagined.
Three meals a day will be delivered by the front Xuanzhen Temple, so there is no need to worry. After resting for a while, Qiao Ran opened the so-called boxes they had brought, one box for clothes, bedding and the like, and the other for some miscellaneous items.
They are all ordinary things, and they are all remembered in the memory of this body, except for ...... Qiao Ran reached out and took out the wooden box at the bottom of the box that looked a little old, and put it on the table, she looked at it for a moment, and then shook her head: I really don't remember how to think about it.
"Is it my thing?" Qiao Ran called the red beans who started to put things inside and outside and asked, "Why don't I remember?" ”
Hongdou only glanced at it, and nodded again and again: "Yes!" It's something that the young lady said when she was a child, and the eldest lady said it. At that time, the young lady was still young, not yet three years old, and she probably didn't remember. As he spoke, he reached out and untied a series of keys from his waist, and pulled out a key from it to unlock it.
Even the key was there, and it looked like it was indeed hers.
The wooden box was opened, and the top was a doll made of cloth, which was stuffed with cotton, bulging, and looked very cute. It's no surprise that children love dolls, and she sets them aside and looks down, stunned.
"General Outline of the Thirteen Branches of Yin and Yang".
It's a book, and it's so thick that you can't hold it on one hand at all.
Reading such a thick book at the age of three? A child prodigy?
Miss Joe is clearly not a child prodigy.
