Chapter 29: Three Evenings and Four Days
After a day of stuffiness in the Pure Industry Temple, watching the sun go down, Suning'er couldn't help but sigh on the guest table in the wing room: "This day is ......"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Qin'er walk in with a glass tray, which was filled with colorful cake-shaped snacks.
Qin'er put the tray on the table, and said with a smile: "This is the moon cake just made in the temple today, the eldest lady said that she would come over with Yiniang for a reunion dinner after finishing the rituals, and she was afraid that Yiniang would be hungry, so let Yiniang eat some moon cakes first." ”
Sun Ning'er hesitantly took out a pink mooncake from the tray and took a bite, and a light fragrance poured into her heart, sweet and delicious.
She chewed and couldn't help but bend her willow eyebrows, nodded happily and said, "It tastes good", and then took out a pale yellow moon cake and handed it to Qin'er, and ordered: "Ah Qin, you can taste it too." ”
Qin'er carefully took it and handed it to her mouth and bit it, and before she could savor it, she couldn't wait to praise it: "Hey, it's really good, I'm afraid that our house is not as good as this." ”
Suning'er just nodded in approval, after all, she didn't know what kind of mooncakes in Sufu were made.
However, the fasting rice here is really not as delicious as the Su Mansion kitchen, and after eating it a few times, Suning'er is just barely making do to fill her stomach, and she doesn't have much appetite.
Unexpectedly, the mooncakes, which have always been the least popular with her, have become her sweetest delicacy at this time.
Qin'er saw that her appetite was good for a while, and hurriedly went to make new tea for her, Suning'er ate several pieces in a row with the light tea, and picked a few to reward Qin'er.
The branches on the moon shone in through the willow leaf window, and it was hazy outside, and she could see the undulating mountain stream in the distance, and she was also thinking that the Qi clan was probably coming.
was thinking about it, but he heard a man's voice outside the room: "Is the little benefactor of the Su family here?" ”
Suning'er and Qin'er looked at each other and were stunned, listening to the voice was very familiar, only to see Qin'er whispering: "I'm afraid it's the little monk next to Zen Master Minghui", and then hurriedly replied: "But don't you feel the little master?" ”
"It's the little monk."
"Oh, what is the matter with the little master calling my family?" , Qin'er pouted: "Is it the eldest lady who called us a mother?" ”
The monk's words came in again: "It's not that the Qi donor and the abbot have summoned, but the nursing home has just come to report, saying that there is a handsome man from outside the temple, and he is anxious to see the little donor, so the little monk dares to come over and disturb the little donor." ”
Suning'er was stunned again, this night is deep, who would be in a hurry to find herself, thinking left and right, and listening to Qin'er's speculation: "It's the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I think it's the Lang family who came up to visit Yiniang." ”
Suning'er thought about it, and felt that it could only be him, stood up, asked Qin'er to straighten her clothes, and the master and servant went to the front yard with the little monk.
The moonlight was bright, and the high lights outside the temple gate looked particularly dim in the moonlight, and from afar, Suning'er saw a burly and tall figure, a white robe trembling in the wind, which was very eye-catching.
No matter how she looked at it, she felt that this heroic figure didn't look like Lang Zhai, so she had to hold Qin'er's hand tightly and slowly move closer.
Hearing the movement here, the white-robed man immediately turned around, and under the moonlight, the appearance of Chenning, whose face was like a crown of jade, was suddenly displayed in front of Suning'er.
When Suning'er saw that familiar face, she couldn't help but be shocked, and she was so frightened that she almost lost her soul.
Qin'er didn't expect it to be Zhao Yuanbai at all, and called out in surprise: "Zhao Langjun? ”
Zhao Yuanbai snatched Suning'er's white hand from Qin'er's hand like ecstatic, held it tightly in his palm, and looked at each other with warm eyes and was very excited: "Ning'er, it turns out that you have always been thinking about me in your heart, I really don't know what to do." ”
Qin'er froze there, her mouth open, as if she didn't know what to do.
Su Ning'er trembled and broke free from his palm, her heart was beating wildly, and she said: "Zhao, Zhao, Zhao Langjun, what are you talking about, what are you thinking about?" ”
As he spoke, his little face was already flushed and hot.
Zhao Yuanbai couldn't help but hold her hand again, and the warm temperature emanated from the palm of her hand from time to time, which made her scalp tingle.
"Why do you pretend to be confused with me", Zhao Yuanbai knew that she was thinking about what happened two days ago, and hurriedly apologized: "It was indeed my fault that day, and your slap also woke me up, but I didn't expect ......",
Saying that, he couldn't help but pause, looking very embarrassed: "Hey, I'm really a bastard, my Ning'er has always been that Ning'er, how can I change my mind." ”
Suning'er was surrounded by him, and it sounded even more foggy.
Zhao Yuanbai simply held her hand tighter, for fear that she would break free again, and said to herself: "Ning'er, don't worry, when I return home, I will explain to my grandfather and let the matchmaker go to your house to propose marriage." ”
"Propose?" , Suning'er was so frightened that her face turned pale, she broke free of her hand with all her might, and accused in a panic: "Zhao Yuanbai, you, can you not be so angry." ”
Zhao Yuanbai was stunned for some reason, and asked, "A-Ning, what are you talking nonsense again, when will I go to the end of the day?" ”
Su Ning'er explained a little angrily: "You already have a family affair, why are you so shameless, I won't go to your Zhao family to be a concubine, my aunt has already made it clear, you, you will die of this heart." ”
She really didn't know what this guy was crazy about.
"What I said that day was just angry words, how could I let you go to my house to be a concubine", Zhao Yuanbai argued bitterly, his face suddenly embarrassed.
"That, that can't work", Suninger tried her best to restrain her fluctuating mood: "Your relationship with Tao Jiuniang is now known to many people, Tao Jiuniang is also a daughter's family, you ......",
After hesitating, she still couldn't bear to say the next words:
"You men can't act so frivolously, do you know how much the divorce affects a daughter's family?"
"Am I frivolous?" , Zhao Yuanbai looked aggrieved: "When did I become frivolous again, I only mentioned it in your guest hall when I said that I would go to the Tao family to discuss marriage, but that was just angry talk, as for the others, they are all passed down by the Tao family themselves, what does it have to do with me." ”
The more he talked, the more indignant he felt, and finally began to complain: "Ning'er, you now know what it's like to be abandoned, so why shouldn't I be, but I'm just going to go out of Beijing, and when you come back, you're going to become a lady from another family, won't I feel uncomfortable." ”
"You .......", Suning'er was speechless, he made every sense of what he said, and he really couldn't refute it.
Qin'er listened to it clearly, and watched him explain bitterly for a long time, but it was also full of sincerity, and she was pitiful, she had never met Zhao Jialangjun who had such a good attitude towards other women.
It's just that what she doesn't understand is that her mother has been lukewarm to Zhao Langjun until now, and she can't help but persuade her on the side at this moment: "Yiniang, you see Zhao Langjun coming over in the dust, the mountain has long been nowhere to be touched, I'm afraid that I have suffered a lot of crimes, so it's better to go over the abbot and the eldest lady, find a clean room first, let Zhao Langjun rest, and wait for tomorrow to do everything." ”
Who knew that without waiting for Suning'er to answer, Zhao Yuanbai nodded and said: "Well, Qin'er's words are reasonable, I am very familiar with the Minghui Zen Master of this Pure Industry Temple, so I will live here first, just ask him some Buddhism, and wait for the eldest lady to finish the Dharma for her uncle and then return to the city with you. ”
"Oh, is there one?"
Suning'er glanced at Qin'er and felt that this girl was talking nonsense when she opened her eyes, how could she not see the mountain road in a good night.
"Well, there is."
Zhao Yuanbai replied, and also looked at Qin'er with some threatening eyes.
Qin'er thought about it in embarrassment, frowned lightly and nodded slowly: "Oh, it seems to be, yes, yes, yes." ”
