When the old woman said these words, she showed the longing in the depths of her eyes.

It's a feeling that only those who have actually experienced it can experience.

Xu Qinghuan said: "Don't worry, there will be this day." ”

The old woman smiled, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes seemed to have become much lighter.

"Are you going to live here forever?" Xu Qinghuan said, "Is there anyone else in the family?" ”

The old woman went to make tea for Xu Qinghuan, and said as she walked: "There used to be people in the family, but there was a plague a few years ago, and they all went all at once, leaving me, an old woman, and now I am concerned, I am old, I can't do anything else, and I began to collect some needlework. ”

The old woman looked over sixty years old, her body was slumped, and her every move seemed very slow, Feng Xiao couldn't help but step forward to help wash the pot and make tea, and the old woman couldn't help but say: "Look, let the girl do it." ”

Xu Qinghuan sat down at the table: "Miao Idiot is not in the Taoist temple, presumably there is no one to send incense, you are a lot of inconvenience alone, ......" said and looked at Feng Xiao.

Feng Xiao immediately took out a purse and put it on the table.

Xu Qinghuan said: "The money is not much, but it is convenient for the elderly to spend their usual expenses, and I will also ask people to send some rice grain." ”

The old woman's eyes were red: "It's enough for the eldest lady to send rice and grain, and the old woman can't accept this silver." ”

Xu Qinghuan looked at the green smoke curling in front of the statue of the ancestor of Sanqing: "Even if I do my best for the Taoist temple." ”

The old woman was grateful again, and she wanted to salute like Xu Qinghuan, Xu Qinghuan immediately stretched out her hand to help the old woman up, the old woman's whole body was lighter than she imagined, and she almost didn't use too much strength to straighten the old woman.

The old woman thanked her again: "Miss, let's eat some tea, tea is a good thing to keep safe, and the old woman can't do without it all year round." ”

The old woman said and served tea to Xu Qinghuan with her own hands, Xu Qinghuan took the tea bowl, her eyes happened to fall on the top of the old woman's head, and there was a scabbed scar in her gray hair.

"Where did the wound on your head come from?"

A crisp voice came from overhead, and the old woman immediately looked at the girl opposite, the girl's eyes were clear, and her figure was clearly reflected in a pair of eyes.

The old woman shook her hand, looking like she didn't want to talk more: "It's just a fall, it's okay." ”

Xu Qinghuan said: "It looks like I've been hurt for a while." ”

The old woman said: "It's been a few days, it's already going to be good, and the eldest lady doesn't have to take it to heart." ”

Qing Huan looked at the scar quietly: "The injuries left by wrestling are generally on the forehead, above the ears on both sides and behind the head, but your injuries are close to the top of the head......"

The old woman subconsciously reached out and touched the top of her head.

"The eldest lady is really careful, the old woman is lonely, and few people care about the old woman so much," the old woman sighed and wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, "That night, the Zhang family came to the Taoist temple and asked the old woman about the wonderful idiot female crown, the old woman told the truth, but they refused to believe it, and they added fists and feet to the old woman, thanks to Lord Huang by the side, otherwise I don't know what would happen." ”

When Feng Xiao heard this, her face was full of righteous indignation.

Xu Qinghuan knew about it: "Has the Zhang family come to ask you again these days?" ”

"No, no," said the old woman, "I haven't been here since the last time." ”

Xu Qinghuan had a few more gossips with the old woman, knowing that the old woman's name was He Miao, her ancestral home was Shandong, and Shandong did have a plague a few years ago.

Supporting Xu Qinghuan to get into the carriage, Feng Xiao also looked at He Miao's worriedly, He Miao's staggering figure always made people feel a little sad.

"It's so pitiful," Feng Xiao said, "At such an old age, I don't even have a relative around, when Miss Fangcai talked to her, I went to the kitchen behind the Taoist temple to see, there is not much food in storage, and there are very few vegetables, only a pickle jar and native bean sprouts, if she doesn't say that she is from Shandong, I thought her home is near Jiangsu and Zhejiang." ”

Xu Qinghuan looked at Feng Xiao when he heard this: "Why?" ”

"Because the kimchi she makes tastes similar to the cooks in the house, the kind that our wife likes to eat." Speaking of eating, Feng Xiao couldn't help but swallow.

"You ate?"

Feng Xiao puffed up her chest: "If you don't eat it, you can taste it." The expression on her face was even more open, as if He Miao had invited her to eat.

Xu Qinghuan thought thoughtfully: "In this way, He Miao is really a person who knows how to repay her kindness, her ancestral home is in Shandong, but she still returned to the capital, living near the Bishui River, looking forward to the case more than ten years ago can be revealed, such an old person, there is not much money on him, he must not be able to hire a car and horses, this way naturally has to pay a lot of hardships, and she has been away from Beijing for so long, she probably doesn't know what the situation is in Beijing, and she comes here without relatives...... Fortunately, I met Jiang Zhiyi. ”

Feng Xiao's eyes lit up when she heard Xu Qinghuan's words, as if she understood: "Miss, I know, it must be the immortal manifestation of this Taoist temple, this is good retribution." ”

Xu Qinghuan thought of the calm face of the Sanqing Patriarch: "I hope so!" ”

The carriage of the Xu family gradually moved away.

He Miao returned to the main hall, stretched out her hand to pluck the incense in the incense burner, and re-lit three incense sticks and sent them into the incense burner, she raised her head and looked at the Sanqing Patriarch, and her chaotic eyes became clearer and clearer: "The Sanqing Patriarch has a spirit, if everything goes well, we will definitely mold a golden body for you, so that you can enjoy the incense forever." ”

……

As soon as Xu Qinghuan stepped into Mrs. Xu's courtyard, he heard bursts of laughter coming from the house.

Mrs. Xu said: "With you two girls here, I don't even need to take medicine anymore." ”

The joyful atmosphere made Xu Qinghuan's steps become more brisk, and she walked in to greet Mrs. Xu.

Xu Qingyue and Hong Guixia both stood up and pulled her over from left to right.

"Look at this monkey in our family, there is no one all day," Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Qinghuan kindly, "Where did you go again?" ”

Xu Qinghuan smiled and said nothing, turned his head to look at the door, and Feng Xiao and Yin Gui came in with a pot of ink chrysanthemums.

Mrs. Xu's eyes were immediately attracted by the two pots of flowers: "This ink chrysanthemum is blooming so well." ”

Xu Qinghuan stepped forward to help Mrs. Xu to see.

Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Qinghuan for a while: "I said a few days ago that if there are two more pots of ink chrysanthemum, it will be complete, and it will definitely be for you, a little monkey, to listen." ”

Xu Qingyue said: "My sister just takes everything my grandmother said to heart. ”

"You." Mrs. Xu stretched out her hand and stroked Xu Qinghuan's sideburns, her eyes full of love.

After talking for a while, Mrs. Xu sent Xu Qinghuan and Xu Qingyue sisters to accompany Hong Guixia to visit the garden.

The three girls got together, and only then did they dare to speak without scruples.

Hong Guixia said in a low voice: "That case can be closed recently, right?" I vaguely heard my father say that it seems to be related to smuggling, and the Sun family is also a big businessman, so if you don't do anything good, you have to touch the business that lost your head. ”

Xu Qinghuan said: "Many things are also involuntary. ”

The Sun family was already a wealthy family, and they wanted to go to the next level, so they climbed to the Zhang family, but what kind of people are the Zhang family, ordinary business can't satisfy their appetite at all.

Second Master Sun got on this big boat, and it was not easy to get off the boat.

Xu Qingyue said: "The most pitiful thing here is Jiang Zhiyi, I heard that she is Nie Rong's adopted daughter, and she originally wanted to avenge Nie Rong, but who knew that she was used." ”

Xu Qinghuan looked at Xu Qingyue: "How does my sister know Jiang Zhiyi." In the past two days, she has been busy investigating the case, and she has not told Qingyue about these things.

Xu Qingyue looked surprised: "Sister doesn't know yet?" This matter has already spread in Beijing. ”
