Chapter Eighty-Five: The Harrier Out of the Cage

Ruofeng smiled and said, "Ah Niang, I didn't say to go." She looked at her younger brother Mei Zhishu again, "You can't go there, it's a nunnery, and it's not good for you to live there." ”

"Where are you going?" Mei Zhigao opened the curtain and came in, and looked at Tao and his younger siblings in the room.

"Your little sister wants to go to Fahua Nunnery with your eldest sister, and the two of them want to go too, so I won't let them make trouble for your big sister." Dow said.

Mei Zhigao stepped aside, picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a bowl, "You two want to go out to play, I'll take you out for a day tomorrow." He took two sips of tea as he spoke.

"Okay, okay!" Mei Zhishu shouted.

Tao slapped on the small table with a snap, "Don't pick them up here, you won't be allowed to go out tomorrow, just stay at home and read for me." She said.

"Ah Niang......" Mei Zhigao shouted dissatisfiedly: "I still have to go to school tomorrow!" ”

"I'll ask you to ask for leave, you can stay at home for a few days, and when your eldest brother is well, go with him then." Dow said.

Mei Zhigao looked at his aunt, "I go to school, what does it have to do with my eldest brother?" He said.

Tao glared at him, looked at him and said, "You go to school, can your eldest brother recuperate with peace of mind?" If he can't recuperate with peace of mind, he will recover slowly, and if he recovers slowly, your second aunt will be worried, and when the time comes, she will see that you are not pleasing to the eye,......"

"Okay, I'll stay at home." Mei Zhigao waved his hand, interrupting Dow's rambling, and turned to sit in the chair.

Dow stood up and said to Xiao Tao, who was standing aside, "Let's go, I'll go with you and take a look at what to bring her." ”

Tao walked out, while saying that Ruolan went to make trouble for Ruoxue, went to her daughter's room, and watched Xiao Tao pack up her things, and she also helped pick it up.

Everything was packed up, and Tao told Xiao Tao to listen to the eldest lady, be optimistic about Ruolan, and try not to make trouble for Ruoxue.

Xiao Tao wrote them down one by one, and returned to Guanfang Courtyard with a small burden.

Aunt Yang lay weakly on the bed, unable to suppress a tight cough, and a rapid cough made her body stiffen.

"Water...... Water ......," she said.

The maid Bailing dared to run to the table, poured a cup of tea, and helped Aunt Yang to drink it.

"Ahem...... It's mine...... What happened to my little grandchildren? Aunt Yang asked, staring at the maid with her slightly sunken eyes. He said.

"I just let people go to see it, and I'm already asleep." Bai Ling said.

Aunt Yang's body fell backwards, slammed heavily on the carved bed, her chest rose and fell, her favorite little grandson was also sick, which was worse than her own illness, she lay on the bed weakly, and from time to time she instructed people to see her little grandson, so that the maid was almost annoyed.

I knew that the illness of the late Qing Dynasty was so severe, how could she not see her twice, she would not get sick, and she would not pass the disease on to her grandson.

Yang beat the bed a few times hatefully, and there was another burst of coughing, which made her want to mumble about her daughter's words in the late Qing Dynasty, and she forced her back into her stomach.

Yang Wanqing's heart was also very uncomfortable, she didn't want to pass on the disease to others, if she could say the count, then her aunt and nephews and nieces would not get sick.

Yang Wanqing covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and there was a heart-rending cough.

Sister-in-law Hu pushed the door in from the outside, holding a red lacquer tray with a bowl of freshly boiled soup on it.

"Miss, why got up, you can get better quickly by lying down and resting." Sister-in-law Hu put the tray on the table, walked to the side of the bed and patted Yang Wanqing on the back.

Yang Wanqing took a deep breath, "It's been a day, I'll get up and walk......

Is the third sister better? She said.

Sister-in-law Hu helped her sit up and put on a jacket for her, "The third lady ate more at night, it looks like it's much better." She said.

The third lady, Yang Wan'e, has also been sick for a few days, and today Dr. Qi came to change the prescription, and drank the medicine three times a day, and looked like there was some improvement.

Sister-in-law Hu was originally waiting for clothes to be washed outside, this is not Xiaohong's illness, Yang Wanqing is also afraid that those maids are weak, it is easy to get sick, and it will be difficult to get better, so she transferred Sister-in-law Hu to her side to serve her for a few days.

"That's good! How is Xiaohong, but people can go to see it. ”

Yang Wanqing kicked her shoes, and Sister-in-law Hu helped her walk back and forth in the house twice, and sat down on the round stool at the table.

Sister-in-law Hu put the medicine bowl in Yang Wanqing's hand and asked her to drink it while it was hot, "I don't know about this, Miss asked her to bring medicine in the afternoon, and the person who delivered the medicine only saw her aunt, not the little red girl."

The slave maid thought that with the medicine sent by the young lady, she would definitely get better after taking it twice. She said.

Taking the medicine bowl, Yang Wanqing scooped a little with a spoon. I took a sip of it, tried the heat, and put it on the table again, "It's still a little hot." She said.

Sister-in-law Hu took a spoon, put it in a medicine bowl and stirred it.

Yang Wanqing looked at the dancing flames on the candlestick, and didn't know what else she hadn't asked for a while, but she couldn't remember it.

Her brow furrowed, remembering something, "How are the Wen'er sisters and brothers, are they better?" She said.

"The little lady and the little young master drank the medicine of the old doctor Qi, and they are much more stable, and the slave maid heard from Sister-in-law Zhang that the little lady and the little master fell asleep after eating at night, and they looked better than yesterday." Sister-in-law Hu was talking, and her subordinates kept stirring the decoction.

Thinking of the two children, Yang Wanqing blamed herself, they were still so young, and they couldn't tell where they were uncomfortable, every time they got sick, it was a kind of sin, and it was worrying to see that look.

Thinking of the white-haired old doctor who came in the morning, the corners of Yang Wanqing's mouth hooked up with a smile.

Yesterday, the eldest cousin came to visit the house, and when she went back, she told the Mei cousin about the situation at home, and she immediately wrote to the long-retired old doctor Qi and asked him to come to the house to see.

Thinking of her eldest cousin, Yang Wanqing's face flew red, and her upright posture appeared in her mind, it was so clear, and her handsome face made her dare not raise her eyes to look directly.

Thinking of Mei Zhiyuan's concerned gaze, a warm current surged in Yang Wanqing's heart, flowing faster and faster to her body, and her face became more and more red.

Sister-in-law Hu saw her ruddy face staring at the candle flame in a daze, thinking that her illness had not yet recovered, so her face turned red, "Miss, the medicine is not hot, hurry up and drink it while it is hot, it will not be good if it is cold." She said.

Yang Wanqing came back to her senses, picked up the medicine bowl and poured it into her stomach a few times.

The next morning, just after midnight, Ruolan was called up, and in a daze, the maid dressed her, and let the servant carry her into Ruoxue's carriage.

Last night, Ruolan had dinner at Ruoxue's place, went to see the eldest aunt with her two sisters, sat there for a while, and watched Ruoxue arrange some things, returned to Guanfang Courtyard to pester Ruohong to play with her for a long time, and slept with Ruohong at night.

Ruohong didn't wake up a little, got into the carriage and covered Ruolan with a brocade quilt, and continued to sleep back to sleep.

More than a dozen carriages left Jinling City when the sky was slightly bright, and drove to the Fahua Nunnery in the east with the morning dew.

Ruohong Ruolan slept again in the carriage, and when she woke up again, she was almost at Fahua Temple.

Far away, before entering the door of Hokkean, you can smell the fragrance of peach blossoms, and the breeze blows the fragrance of flowers into the distance, which is lush and elegant!

The servants and maids sent the belongings of several masters into the nunnery one after another and put them into the cleaned house.

The servant woman carried Ruolan off the carriage, Ruoxue Ruohong and Ruofei got off the carriage with the help of a maid, and several people went to Tian's carriage to help Tian get off.

Ruolan stood on the ground and shook her little nose, smelling the fragrance of peach blossoms in the air, and watched Ruoxue go to help the eldest aunt get out of the car, so she ran over and shouted: "Auntie Auntie, you smell it, it's so fragrant......

Tian smiled and touched her head, watched the maid holding Aunt Zhou's hand, carefully got out of the carriage behind, and asked through several people: "Rose, what do you think, is there anything wrong?" ”

Aunt Zhou came over with the help of the maid Zifeng, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

The maids and servants around the Tian family all dispersed to make way for Aunt Zhou, this ancestor can't touch it, porcelain is ordinary, you have to be careful to serve.

Ruofei got down from another carriage behind, and with her was the maid Caidie, and a mother in her forties.

Ruofei slowly walked towards Ruoxue and them, but her head twisted to look at the mountain gate of Fahua Nunnery not far away, Caidie held a small burden and walked behind Ruofei, looking at the vehicles in front and behind, and the people around her, and then looking into the distance through them.

There were six nuns in the Fahua Nunnery, and the leader was an old nun in her fifties, wearing a gray, blue and white robe, her face was kind, with a compassionate smile on her face, and she was amiable.

Five young nuns, dressed in grey cloth robes, followed the old nuns.

Looking at the clothes worn by the five of them better, they looked like they were wearing rags.

In fact, the nuns who wear one-color caftans are ordinary nuns, and only nuns with high status are eligible to wear a hundred clothes.

"Amitabha, the old man is late." The old nun proclaimed the Buddha's name and bowed his body.

Tian hurriedly took two steps forward and folded his hands together, and said, "It's too much trouble to disturb Master Wuyu." ”

Ruoxue and Ruohong also gave salutes behind Tian's back, and Ruolan also learned from her two sisters to bow down with their hands together, and they learned nothing like that, so pious.

Ruofei stood farther away, looking at the hats on the heads of several young nuns, wondering if their buns were really shaved.

Master Wuyu looked at Ruoxue and said, "The donor looks more and more radiant, and he has grown a lot taller. Seeing that the donor's heavenly court is full of red light, there will be good things coming to the door in the near future. ”

Tian smiled happily: "I borrowed your auspicious words!" ”

Ruoxue smiled and didn't say anything.

"I heard that the donor's youngest daughter fell ill a few years ago, but is it all right? Can you come along? Master Wuyu looked at Tian and asked casually.

Tian hurriedly beckoned Ruohong to his side, and pulled it to show Mrs. Wuyu, "Here, Mrs. Shi will see what else is wrong." This child is the most frail, and he is going to get sick once in three steps? She said.

Master Wuyu looked Ruohong up and down too seriously, his eyes flashed, and he folded his hands and recited the Buddha's name, "Amitabha, the benefactor's evil has been eliminated, and everything will be smooth sailing and everything will go smoothly in the future." She said.

Tian listened to Mrs. Wuyu's words, his face was even more happy, and he also folded his hands and recited "Amitabha".

Ruohong's heart skipped a beat, this old nun wouldn't really see anything, would she? She's an otherworldly wandering spirit, she won't be recognized by others so easily, right?

Ruohong folded her hands and bowed, and said, "Thank you for your auspicious words!" ”

Ruolan ran to the front of the master, "Master, grandma, look at me, do I have any blessings?" ”

Mrs. Wuyu was stunned for a moment, and laughed casually.

Tian pulled Ruolan to his side, "This is the sixth girl in my family, very naughty." She said.

"It's okay, there is no taboo in children's words!" As she spoke, Mrs. Wuyu really took a serious look at Ruolan, with a look of surprise on her face, raised her head and looked at Ruoxue Ruohong without a trace, before she said: "The little benefactor's heavenly court is full of red light, and the purple qi lingers on his body, and it will be unspeakably expensive in the future!" ”

"Shi Taijiyan." Tian clasped his hands in thanks.

Ruolan also learned to fold her palms and thank you, although she didn't know what Mrs. Shi meant, but when she heard the word "expensive", she knew that "expensive" meant good, so she knew that she would be very good.

Wuyu Shitai and Tian said a few polite words, and humbly accompanied Tian to go inside, Tian stretched out his hand and pulled Aunt Zhou to follow her, and walked slowly to the nunnery, with several nuns following behind.

Ruoxue beckoned Ruohong and Ruofei to follow, took Ruolan's little hand and walked with her feet, and followed a few nuns into the Fahua Nunnery.

"Won't my sister go in?" Ruofei said.

She walked to Ruohong's side and stopped, looked at the people walking in front, and turned her head to look at Ruohong.

Ruohong tapped the front with her chin and said, "Why rush for a while, wait and walk slowly, you won't be squeezed." "In front, followed by Ruoxue, five or six maids, four or five servants, crowded one after another.

Ruofei glanced up at her, with an unclear look in her eyes, "Isn't the eldest sister the best for the third sister!" At this time, she forgot about her sister, didn't the third sister blame her? She said.

Ruohong was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and chuckled, "You also know that she is the best for me, and she is not bad for a while, if she has a grudge because of this son's matter, then it will be in vain to accept her kindness to me!" She said.

"That's what my sister said."

She stood by and watched as everyone entered the Hokke-an one after another, and then said, "Let's go too." ”

Ruofei stepped forward and walked forward, Caidie hugged the burden and followed her, whispering something, Ruofei shook her head as if she didn't agree.

The mother who came with Ruofei gave her a blessing when she walked past Ruohong, and then walked a few steps to catch up with Ruofei in front.

With a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth, Ruohong looked back at the orange and pomegranate behind her, and said, "Let's go too." ”

"Yes." The two responded in unison.
