Ruoxue smiled and walked forward, watching Rice Pearl run in front of her with a smile, and then circle a few trees, always almost catching the peony.

"Is that Miss Mei over there?"

Qingzhu helped the old lady out of the peach forest, the old lady's steps were steady, although Qingzhu was supporting, it was only to prevent the old man from falling down in the wrong place.

Ruoxue took two or three steps, blessed for a moment, and said, "It's me." She said, walking to the other side and helping the old lady.

"I guessed it was you when I heard the voice." She said.

Ruoxue smiled and complimented her, and then asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"It's not like I got up late, I ate a few more bites, and I came out to eliminate my food......," Qingzhu said with a smile.

The old lady smiled, not caring at all about being exposed by the little maid.

Peony and Rice Pearl, who were playing here, stopped playing when they saw Ruoxue talking to someone over there, and glared at each other with a smile.

Peony blushed from being shy by what Mi Pearl said just now, and now her face is even redder because of chasing her, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appear on her forehead.

She took out a handkerchief and wiped it, and raised her hand to pat the back of the pearl, which was regarded as revenge.

Rice Pearl turned around and grimaced at her, smiled and hurriedly ran over.

Peony shook the handkerchief angrily, stomped her feet and slowly gathered towards Ruoxue, not far behind.

Ruoxue smiled and helped the old lady walk slowly and carefully, asking her what she ate in the morning, and she actually ate too much.

She thought about the breakfast she had just eaten, and the small steamed buns with tofu stuffing made in the nunnery this morning were made with mashed tofu and shredded cabbage, and steamed in the basket drawer with a three-fold leather bun.

It's very fragrant!

"Haven't you eaten the tofu-stuffed buns?" The old lady asked happily.

Ruoxue was a little embarrassed to be asked, and said curtly: "I ate, I ate a bun and a bowl of millet porridge." "She eats in moderation on weekdays, and rarely feels uncomfortable because she eats too much.

"That's it! Eat less. The old lady raised her eyebrows thoughtfully and said with a smile: "I'll eat two and a half!" If this girl hadn't stopped me, I would have eaten half of it. ”

Ruoxue smiled and complimented her on her good appetite, delicious food, and good health.

The old lady laughed, patted Ruoxue's hand holding her, and said that Ruoxue would accompany her to the Guanyin Hall to worship the Bodhisattva and give the Bodhisattva incense.

Ruoxue happily agreed, helped her to talk, and went all the way to the Guanyin Temple.

Worshipping Guanyin Bodhisattva, Qingzhu lit three pillars of incense and handed it to the old lady, Ruoxue helped her to insert the incense into the incense burner, and bowed down again.

Out of the Guanyin Temple, Ruoxue asked her if she wanted to go back or walk again.

The old lady stood still, tilted her face, as if looking at the sky, and as if looking at the distant scenery, "Let's go again." She said.

Ruoxue answered with a "yes" and helped her walk slowly along the road paved with blue bricks.

"Where's the bell ringing?"

Ruoxue looked at the Baoling Pagoda fifty or sixty steps away on the right, the tower is thirteen stories high, there is a copper bell hanging on the eaves corner of the tower, the pilgrims on the tower are endless, you can see Jinling City up to the heights, "it is the wind chimes on the eaves corner of the tower over there, only seven or eight ......" Ruoxue counted it, and then said: "No, it is the wind chimes on the tenth floor that were blown by the wind." ”

"Oh, the weather has been good for the past two days, there is no wind, and the bells on the tower are blown by the wind one day, so it sounds good!" Qingzhu smiled.

"That's it, it's all sounding, and it's a little eager." The old lady smiled and stretched out her hand to pat the green bamboo twice, a little reprimanded.

Qingzhu smiled and saw Ruoxue make a grimace, bullying the old lady out of sight.

Ruoxue smiled, and as she walked, she told the old lady about the surrounding scenery, or asked her if she wanted to go over and have a look. When she encountered novel flowers and plants, Ruoxue pulled the old lady to reach out and touch them, and then took them off and put them on her head.

The old lady was happy and asked Ruoxue to put the newly blooming flowers on her head, "My grandson often tells me things like you, the rumors of the people in the market, and the new and interesting things outside, I want to see and hear ,...... like ordinary people."

Ruoxue smiled: "That's his filial piety, and he also wants to relieve your boredom." Ruoxue smiled.

"Yes! Our young master is the most pleasing to the old lady, as long as the young master is at home, we maids are useless people! Qingzhu said, with some grievances in his tone.

The old lady laughed again, "I'm a little tired of finding a place to sit." She said.

"I was negligent." Ruoxue said.

At this moment, he didn't feel that he had walked a long way, and the old man was a little exhausted.

"There's a bluestone there."

Qingzhu pointed to the roadside in front of the right, where a stone was lying on the ground a few feet high and three or four feet long.

Lianxin and Peony walked over, took out a handkerchief and spread it on it, and took two steps back to stand still.

Ruoxue helped the old lady sit down on the stone, squatted down and thumped her legs and feet.

Peony was about to step forward to beat the old lady's leg for the young lady, but was stopped by Lianxin and shook her head at her.

Peony looked at Ruoxue, then withdrew her foot, and turned her head to look at the pilgrims walking towards the peach forest.

"That grandson of mine, is it difficult for them to go to your shop?" The old lady asked suddenly.

Ruoxue was stunned for a moment, and the action of beating his legs also stopped, "No, he just borrowed 500,000 taels of silver from my shop." She said, only the facts, not the process of borrowing money.

The old lady laughed, she patted Ruoxue on the shoulder, "You already know who I am, right?" She nodded and said, "Is it because he did something wrong that someone went to your shop to exchange money?" ”

"Yes." Ruoxue said calmly.

Qingzhu looked at Ruoxue with her mouth slightly open, Miss Mei's heart is really big! If she lends 500,000 taels of silver to others, she may not come back, how can she be so calm?

Qingzhu thought that if someone borrowed her five taels of silver and didn't pay it back, she would be sad for several days, and she couldn't sleep at night, and she would do things in a mess during the day.

"Do you know where he went?" The old lady asked.

Looking at the old man bathed in the sun, Ruoxue didn't know how to answer her question, saying that her grandson might go to fight pirates, which was not to worry the old man.

"I don't know." She said.

The old lady greeted the warm sun with a kind face and said: "When he left, he said that he had something to leave me for a few days, and I asked him when he would come back, but he didn't say, just said, send me here for a few days of fasting, and when he comes back, he will pick me up." ”

"He'll be back to pick you up soon, there are so many guards around him, Grandma can rest assured." Ruoxue said.
