Master Ran said that the mother and daughter were peaceful and compassionate when they spoke, and after they said it, they passed by like a goose without a trace. Those who do not intend will not hear it in their hearts, but those who are interested will inevitably have waves in their hearts.

Diancui followed behind Wu Shi and entered the meditation room with mixed feelings.

After sitting down, Grandma Lu was even more worried, only the maid Xiyue couldn't help but explain: "The master is wrong, we are all slaves and maids returning to the house, not the eldest lady......"

"Cherish the moon, don't talk too much." Wu Shi frowned.

Master Zhiran did not take this as a grievance, nor did he justify, only poured a few cups of tea, and said: "The temple only drinks clear tea, and I hope the donor will forgive me." ”

Wu Shi was busy and didn't dare to take the tea to drink, but this tea was unusually sweet and uninteresting.

Grandma Lu seemed to be a little stunned, and stepped forward and asked, "Why did the master say mother and daughter?" Didn't you see the mystery in it? ”

Wu Shi was very puzzled, the master was just wrong for a while, no one can be a sage, and he just admitted his mistake, why did Grandma Lu hold on to it.

Unexpectedly, the master did not admit that he was wrong, but said: "All promising things are the result of cause and effect, if the seed is the cause, the harvest is the effect, the donor should not force it, everything has its own arrangement." ”

Diancui knew that she was saying this to herself, but she was not a Buddha, and she couldn't see through all kinds of mortal things, since God had relived her life, it was impossible for her not to do something and just wait for God's arrangement.

Wu Shi felt that the master was talking about herself, and she blamed herself for losing her daughter and causing her to suffer so many sins, this is because, now that her daughter has come back and changed her well-behaved when she was a child and has become stupid and frivolous, is this the fruit? Wu's heart inevitably hurt again.

If this is really his daughter...... It was something she didn't dare to think about.

Such a good little girl.

When they came out of the White Horse Temple, everyone was preoccupied, and even Xiyue saw it, so they wouldn't mention any sugar gourds stained with sesame seeds.

But he didn't think about it, and suddenly said: "Madam, Grandma Lu, let's go out, we can't come out in vain, the sugar gourd still has to be eaten." ”

Grandma Lu was stunned and nodded her head: "You are really a eater, you haven't forgotten to eat." ”

Diancui laughed, Chao Wu stretched out his hand, and said playfully: "Please also ask Mrs. to give five coppers, so that Diancui can buy sugar gourds." ”

Wu Shi also smiled suddenly: "A string of sugar gourds clearly only needs one copper, the four of us, you want five coppers, and the remaining one will fall into your own purse." ”

Although Wu's words seemed to be strange, there was no blame in his tone, and Dian Cui was even more cheeky: "Madam, you are too smart, the little trick of the slave and maid who is greedy for money has been guessed by you." ”

Wu laughed, if you want to talk about greed for money, what is her trick of greedy for money, it's just that this maid is happy when she sees that she is in a bad mood.

"If you don't give it to her quickly, if you can't eat the sugar gourd stained with sesame seeds, this girl will cry on the street." Wu said with a smile.

When Xiyue heard this, seeing that his wife's mood had turned cloudy and sunny, he couldn't help but give Diancui a thumbs up, and happily threw a handful of copper to Diancui.

Diancui took the copper and went briskly, but when she came back, she saw that in addition to a few strings of red sugar gourds in her hand, she also hugged a handful of flowers that were still dripping with water droplets.

Wu Shi took the flowers handed by Diancui, and was a little embarrassed. It was a handful of water lilies dotted with a few jasmine flowers, and her favorite was the frangipani fragrance of this jasmine.

"It's your clever maid, Madame likes the quiet beauty of this water lily and the fragrance of this jasmine the most, it's rare that you buy it in the slightest." Grandma Lu said with a smile.

"The slave also likes the elegant and warm smell of this jasmine, and every time she goes to the lady's room, she will smell this smell, and every time she smells it, she will feel an indescribable warmth in her heart." Diancui also likes the aroma of jasmine, just because this aroma is the smell of Wu's body, which seems to be a distant taste from the depths of memory.

Wu Shi smelled the lingering jasmine aroma, watched Diancui's thoughts drift far away, and muttered: "Yu'er also said when I was a child that I liked the ...... of jasmine fragrance on my body."

Is this the case, Diancui originally wondered why he thought the fragrance of this jasmine was so familiar and warm, did he smell it when he was a child......

"Xiyue, you go buy some more, send them to the courtyard for the eldest lady, it should be stuffy after being locked up for so many days......" Wu sighed, and finally couldn't let go of Yu'er.

"Yes, madam, as long as the eldest lady sees this flower, she will understand the painstaking work of the lady." Xiyue said.

I hope so...... Wu said lightly.

Diancui clenched the sugar gourd in his hand, lowered his head, and removed the disappointment in his eyes.

The four masters and servants lost the interest of continuing to shop, and returned to the east courtyard, and Diancui said goodbye and went to the embroidery room with a lot of worries.

"Grandma Lu, what's wrong with you today, but what's on your mind?" Wu couldn't help but ask Grandma Lu, who had been absent-minded.

"Oh, no." Grandma Lu shook her head, and remembered that her wife should be tired after staying outside for a long time, so she washed a hot cloth and handed it to her to clean her face.

"Grandma, I've already cleaned my face, what's wrong with you today?" It is rare to see Grandma Lu so restless, and Wu can't help but worry.

Grandma Lu still didn't speak, and Wu didn't ask any more, just opened an account book and began to check the accounts.

"Mother's health?" It was the eldest young master and the second young master who came, and as soon as they entered the door, they asked the Wu family.

"Mother, are you happy to go out of the house today?" Second Young Master Gui Zhongqing smiled and stepped forward to sit next to Wu's side.

"Don't worry, it's already good for your mother, how is your schoolwork, don't delay." Wu put down the ledger and said.

"Mother, you are in good health, so don't worry about these business matters anymore." The eldest prince Gui Bonian couldn't help frowning.

Wu smiled silently, and Gui Bonian had to sigh.

"I heard that my mother's appetite has improved recently, and the honeydew melon sent by my uncle may be used more to quench my thirst." Gui Bonian also brought his share of the melon.

These two sons are really filial, Wu Shi was happy in his heart, and said I heard that your uncle only dragged people back a few honeydew melons, don't send them all over, I can't eat them, take them back and eat them yourself.

Gui Bo Nian hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "I don't like sweets, half of the melon sent by my uncle was given to my mother, and the other half was taken to Yu'er...... Please don't blame your mother. "The Wu family had ordered that no one should be allowed to visit Gui Chuyu, although Gui Bonian did not go to see her, but he sent the melon with Hanlian.

"If you send it, you will send it, but you as a brother should not spoil her too much, once people are spoiled, they will do stupid things to harm others and themselves." Wu has never been so heavy on his children, this time he is really angry, Gui Bonian's cheeks are red, and he wants to plead for his sister, but he doesn't know where to start for a while, so he has to stay for a while, and then he and Gui Zhongqing got up and said goodbye.

Wu didn't stay much, but only told Grandma Lu to tell Diancui to make more yellow finch breams for dinner today, and the old man would rest from the yamen today and come back to eat together.

Gui Bonian's footsteps were about to step out of the door of Wu's house, and when he heard Dian Cui's name, he was stunned for a moment, remembering Yu'er's words to remind him to guard the embankment.

"That little bit of emerald...... Isn't it in the embroidery room? How do you get her to cook food for her mother? Gui Bonian couldn't help but ask his younger brother next to him.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Qing was informal, waved his hand and said: "Diancui is a capable person, she can get clothes, repair hairpins, and make good dishes, and her mother loves to eat food very much, so why not." ”

"It's impossible, the maids in each courtyard are performing their own duties, how can they have a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, this is really strange, just take care of their own mess, and even go to their mother to please ...... No wonder Yu'er doesn't like her......" Gui Bonian frowned and said to himself.

"Left and right is just a maid, brother doesn't have to be so mustard, as long as it's not the one who climbs the young master's bed for climbing high branches, I think it's a good thing for the maid to be motivated, and this maid is a very sensible person, big brother don't scare people." Gui Zhongqing's words are very protective of Diancui.

The more he maintained, the more Gui Bonian felt that little bit of Cui's ill intentions were deep.

"Madam," Grandma Lu finally couldn't help but speak after the two young masters left: "What Master Ran said......"

"Did you say that Master Ran called me and Diancui as mother and daughter?" Wu put down the account book and said for a while: "If Yue'er can be so clever with Diancui girl, how good it would be." ”

"For this point of cui, please forgive the old slave for speaking bluntly, I don't know what Mrs. thinks, the old slave always thinks in her heart, regardless of her temperament or appearance, she really shouldn't be just a maid, and this maid is really good to Mrs." Grandma Lu simply finished speaking in one breath, since she entered the mansion, she always favored her intentionally or unintentionally, wanted to take care of her, and deliberately went to Su Xue to take care of her, Grandma Lu was never such a soft-hearted and nosy person, she did this, isn't it that there is a destiny in the dark, sometimes Grandma Lu is also thinking in her heart.

"You mean?" Seeing Grandma Lu's serious expression, Wu Shi unconsciously fell into deep thought, and said: "But didn't we go to check a few days ago, the couple surnamed Qian really has no loopholes, and the person who took Yu'er back then died a few years ago, and this matter can no longer be verified." ”

"Madam, think about it, this person's temperament can change greatly, but this appearance is difficult to change, the eldest lady was white with a snow doll when she was young, if she was really wronged in the ravine and sunburned and hungry yellow, but you look at this girl, the suffering is not less than that of the eldest lady, this skin can still be raised white and tender, and this facial features look very similar to Mrs. when she was a child, and she doesn't blame the old slave for thinking too much." Grandma Lu finally said what was in her heart.

"So," Wu's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, slapped the table fiercely, and said: "Go and check again, this time I will go to the Qianjia Village in Qingping County, and check it for me one by one, and once there are clues, immediately return to me!" ”

"Yes!" Grandma Lu immediately responded.

"Wait, don't let others know about this matter, don't have too many people to check and don't be too eye-catching, it's best to choose one or two loyal and reliable ones from the small guys below." Wu commanded.

In fact, Grandma Lu has already had a candidate in her heart, one is the nephew of the old Diao Tou, who will do a little bit of punching and kicking at this time, and now he has just entered the mansion to do dispensable errands in the outer courtyard, if this thing is done well, this kid will still have a chance to be reused; The other is Du Xiaozhu, who is the gatehouse, Du Xiaozhu lives in a courtyard with Lao Diaotou, according to Lao Diaotou, this child is thoughtful and clever. The two of them are not very conspicuous in the mansion, and it is safest to send them to themselves.
