Soon after returning to Freehand, the old Zhang Tou in the porter sent a bun head to Ruqing and sent a letter and a box from Zhiyi Na Lei to a month. Ruqing held the thin letterhead, put the box aside, and asked Agarwood to reward the head of the bun and the old head of twenty dollars each, and under the gratitude of the head of the bun, Ruqing endured the nervousness in her heart and opened the letterhead.

Speaking of this second brother of Zhiyi, he is indeed a standout in Fangfu, not only is he different from ordinary people, but he even has ingenuity in writing letters. The content of the letter was very brief, only a few words: "Qing, at the beginning of winter, promoted to General Wu Yi." Sad, fighting with the Tatars, wounded; Fortunately, it did not hurt the muscles and bones, and it was necessary to recuperate for a few days. The sword and gun have no eyes, and the cowhide armor you gave me back then is already old, so I will send it as soon as possible. Wait for the good news. Give each other with a thin gift, the gift is light, but it should not be easily shown. In addition, the word Ru has grown slightly, and it needs to be encouraged. ”

After reading the letter carefully, Ruqing patted her chest, fortunately, fortunately, this time she didn't accuse her of writing ugly anymore, and even praised her for the improvement of her handwriting. You know, the first two times she criticized her words indecently, and even once used "My sister's words are like ghost paintings, and my brother's knowledge is shallow, so I really can't start." There was another time, "full of absurd words, ashamed to mention by friends", several times of harsh words, the blow to Ruqing was bored, and he learned from the pain, and after a lot of hard work, he finally practiced the words like a human. However, this time the news brought by Zhiyi made her happy, happy that Zhiyi was promoted again, and worried that she was injured, but fortunately it did not hurt her muscles and bones.

Opening the box wrapped in rags, the corners of Ruqing's lips twitched, such a broken box, such a rag, no wonder it could be delivered to her safely every time.

Linglong hurriedly found scissors, and while happily cutting the belt, she said: "Last time, the second master sent licorice and astragalus, and last time I sent cashmere and camel hair, I don't know what this time is, but the box is so small, it is estimated that it can't hold so much, hey---- what is this?" ”

Ruqing opened the old and tattered wooden box, there was a brown fur neatly folded inside, opened it and looked, it was actually a whole animal fur, delicate to the touch, rich fluff, smooth color, gorgeous and soft, I don't know what kind of animal skin, fox skin? It's not quite like that. Ruqing hadn't seen many wild animals, and she couldn't tell what it was, and it wasn't mentioned in Zhiyi's letter, but Shen Pozi still had the eyesight, turned it over and over again, touched it carefully, and exclaimed: "This is a sable, it's actually a whole mink." And look at this coat color, it is hunted in the season after the light snow, and only at this time, the mink skin board is thin and soft and white, the bottom pile is rich, the hair peak is high and flexible, and the color is smooth and ---, and the second master is so interested in the girl. After exclaiming, he looked around again, quickly put the mink into the box, and whispered: "Don't show this mink easily, the girl remembers?" ”

Ruqing was puzzled, and Mrs. Shen said solemnly: "My court stipulates that all members below the second grade are not allowed to wear sables." Girl, this is a big taboo. ”

Ruqing finally understood what Zhiyi meant by not showing people easily, and hurriedly asked Agarwood to put away the whole mink skin, and sternly ordered that this matter should not be exposed. If there is a violation, it will not be forgiven.

After a few days, such as the power of Aunt Zhu, and then further improve the cowhide soft armor, she recently studied the armor of the Daqing Dynasty, the armor is mostly iron, most of them are rectangular, about ten centimeters long, about six centimeters wide, with small holes on it. Each pair is about 40 to 25 catties, mostly iron valve mail and chain mail. The chain is also known as "ring lock armor", which is generally made of iron wire or iron ring buckle into a garment, each ring and the other four rings are buckled, shaped like a net lock, and cannot be shot. However, it is extremely inconvenient to wear on the body, which greatly restricts its speed and combat capability. Ruqing is a clothing designer in modern times, and it is not difficult to design a set of soft armor with defensive functions, but it is very difficult to find materials, first of all, the armor made of iron pieces is very thick and heavy, and it is not easy to preserve. She chose the first layer of old cowhide, the cowhide anti-sword function is not very good, but it is hard and strong, and lightweight, so it is easy to hurt the chest, abdomen, shoulders, arms, back and other parts of the pad several layers of beef, so that it can be a good defense against the sword, but the whole cowhide can not be bought, because the emperor of the Daqing Dynasty ate tigers and eat mountain delicacies, but only the cattle are particularly fond of it, stipulating that "those who slaughter cattle and horses and livestock without permission shall be punished by cutting off their tongues, and there is no class of diseases." This means that only when the cow is sick, old, or dies unexpectedly can the cow be killed, otherwise the tongue will be cut off and the punishment will be death. But these criminal laws are only aimed at the common people, and some nobles and nobles also eat correctly, but everyone just eats secretly, and they really don't dare to kill the cow openly.

It took a few days and nights to make the cow soft armor and send it to Zhiyi. And also attached a letter. Ruqing counted her private room, with a sad face, and lost a lot of silver, I don't know if I can return to my capital in the future, alas----

After another ten days, Zhiyi replied, still incredibly simple, "Thank you." It is not an exaggeration to call your plan a mean villain despicable, but it is indeed a wonderful way to split alone. The generals have already adopted. The third uncle is like a whirlpool, and it is best to avoid it. ”

Looking at these words back and forth, Ruqing secretly hated at the same time, but also felt funny, what "yin damage mean villain despicable", "solo splitting strange path is really wonderful", he made it clear that he himself is also a master of black belly, otherwise why reuse the yin damage scheme she came up with "exchanging salt for cattle, sheep and horse skins in the hands of the Mongols" and "supporting another force to fight against it, and enjoying the profits of the fisherman and robbing by the way"?

After secretly scolding this black-bellied and really damaged second brother, Ruqing folded the letter, locked it in a drawer, and then went straight to the old lady's Songhe Hall.

The old lady was chanting the Buddha Sutra, and when she heard the words, she suddenly opened her eyes, "Zhiyi won't let us go to the capital?" ”

Ruqing nodded, "Yes, the second brother did say so. ”

The old lady was silent for a while, and said, "Zhiyi, this kid has always been precocious and discerning, and he has his own reasons for acting like this. Okay, go and tell Lao Tzu, let's not go, lest we get pink eye when we get it. ”

Ruqing couldn't help but laugh and went to see Fang Jinglan again. Fang Jinglan was not as easy to dismiss as the old lady, and couldn't help but reprimand when he heard the words: "What big truth does he know as a child? Everyone has sent a simple invitation, even if I don't go, but can I not give the face of King Jing's Mansion? Where did he learn all the civilized etiquette that his father taught him? Why don't you even understand this truth? After a pause, he took a sip of tea, and continued: "Zhiyi and Li Xiao worship together under General Fu, and they are considered brothers in the same school, and Li Xiao and Zhiyi are so good friends in private. is reasonable, not in the face of my brother-in-law, but also in the face of Li Xiao. This time, not only are we going, but we also have to bring enough generous gifts. Suddenly, I felt that Ruqing, a ten-year-old girl, was talking in vain, dressed up again, and went straight to the old lady's house, and the old lady was confused.

Fang Jinglan means this, you can laugh at me if your daughter marries into the Jingwang Mansion, right? Okay, you have your background, I also have my way, my son Zhiyi and King Jing are brothers, and they are very good. The reason why I entered Beijing this time was not to drink your daughter's wedding wine, but to go directly to King Jing's Mansion and drink Li Xiao's joy.

When Ruqing understood Fang Jinglan's idea, while laughing, she also had to admire that Cheap Daddy was really a person-like character, and he even came up with such an idea.

The old lady also understood, and while she was surprised, she couldn't find her language for a long time. However, in the end, she agreed, but she still resolutely refused.

The old lady didn't go, Ruqing wouldn't have gone to join in the excitement, Rumei persuaded her in Rushan's ear all day, "Go, why don't you go?" The capital is fun. Let me tell you, the capital is not only prosperous, but also has a lot of new things you can't think of. After persuading for a long time, I still couldn't persuade me, I couldn't help but be discouraged, and I couldn't help but scold like a bun on the sunny soil, and I couldn't see the world.

*

The cold Layue came with a cold wind, Fang Jinglan Li brought enough gifts with Rumei, Rushan, Zhilian and others, and went to the capital together, leaving only the old lady and Ruqing's ancestors and grandchildren, without the control of the Li family, Ruqing's proud, like a wild horse out of the border, almost went crazy. However, no matter how Ruqing played the world, in front of the old lady, she didn't dare to make a mistake. Because the Li family, who was the housekeeper before, went to the capital, the big and small locks in the house were handed over to the old lady.

Previously, Li's anger started from his heart, and he was born to the side of the gall, and he actually wanted to take the lead for the new daughter-in-law with the power of the Li family, but he was unexpectedly cut to only scum, and the heart was full of remorse, fortunately, Zhili soon went to Beijing to take up a post, and the He family also followed, and the power of the Li family returned to the hands of the Li family.

He is also smart, knowing that after she leaves, the newcomers she promoted will definitely suffer from Li's firepower, so she took most of the newcomers away before leaving, and said in a beautiful name: Her parents, who have always loved their daughter, have bought a house for Zhili's son-in-law in the capital, and these subordinates have brought them over together, just enough to send them.

The Li family couldn't ask for it, but in this way, there were many fewer people in the house. I found someone to make up for the manpower, and before I could do it, I went to the capital with Fang Jinglan, Qizhou City is far away from the Beijing Division, and the Li family will definitely have to go back to my mother's house to visit relatives and friends for several days, and it is estimated that I will not be able to come back within a month. These new slaves were temporarily under the control of the old lady.

Ruqing followed the old lady every day, helped, made a start, and learned from the experience. In the blink of an eye, New Year's Day has come, Ruqing received a letter from Zhiyi from Datong, and a tattered package, the letter is a few simple words, "Send Rutai inkstone, you should practice words with your heart." ”

Zhiqing opened the tattered wooden box, and there was an ugly inkstone lying lonely inside.

Shen Pozi has the most eyesight, "This inkstone is produced by Duanmu Mountain, Wutai County, Shanxi, because it originally belonged to Wutai, so it is called 'Taiwan inkstone'." There are four kinds of red, purple, black and green stone colors in Duanmu Mountain, among them, purple, black and green are the best, look at the color of this inkstone, but it is the superior green. Good inkstone. Then he explained the prestige of the Taiwan inkstone: "The Taiwan inkstone is made of natural stone, the stone is solid, delicate, and has a natural texture, such as crystal like jade, grinding and ink quickly, moisturizing the hair, and moisturizing the pen." This green stone, but it is crystal clear, there are water waves floating cloud pattern looming on the stone, extremely beautiful. The old woman had also known a lot of famous inkstones from all over the world, including painted landscapes, people, birds and beasts, flowers or famous poems. The inkstone box with pear wood push lacquer is assembled, and the lacquerware and stone inkstone reflect each other, which is extremely exquisite. But this inkstone, but has never been polished, look at the appearance, as if the raw was dug out, and then slightly polished with a strong weapon, but although it looks ugly, it does not affect its value, it can be seen that the second master is also really in love with the girl. ”

Ruqing rolled her eyes in her heart, the value of the cowhide soft armor she gave was not low----

However, this is a piece of Zhiyi's good intentions, such as Qing is not good to refuse, so let the agarwood put on the desk, and use this inkstone to write in the future, to see if it is really as the legend of "like crystal like jade, grinding ink fast, hair moisturizing, moisturizing the pen".

In the quiet winter, facing the cold wind, New Year's Day is coming, although only the old lady is in charge, but the lively Ruqing still directs the servant woman to hang the red lanterns locked in the storeroom on the corridors of the house to add to the festive atmosphere. Then the old lady set up a carriage and went to the nearby prestigious Lingyan Temple to make incense and make vows, and play by the way.

Lingyan Temple and Zhejiang Guoqing Temple, Nanjing Qixia Temple, Hubei Yuquan Temple and called "the four famous temples in the sea", Lingyan Temple and ranked first, you can imagine the prosperity of the incense here, Lingyan Temple does live up to its reputation, as soon as you enter the temple, you can faintly see the mountains surrounding, the rock is secluded and the cliff is steep; Bai Tan stacked show, spring sweet tea fragrance; There are many historical sites and the sound of Buddha lingers. Ruqing will come here with the old lady on the first day of the new month, the fifteenth will come here with the old lady to make incense and make vows, almost every corner of Lingyan Temple, but she is really not interested in sitting in the room to recite the Buddha Sutra, while the old lady goes to the room, he leads the two girls to walk around.

In fact, most of the people who come to the temple to make incense and make vows are relatively wealthy, basically in groups, slaves and servants, and most of them are old, middle-aged and young women, and it is rare to see male compatriots, so Ruqing is very curious, in novels, on TV will be staged, the delicate woman was molested by the children of the ancient temple The drama, but she has come many times, and every time she has drilled into sparsely populated places, and she has not seen this kind of drama happen. It is estimated that there are relatively few gentlemen in Qizhou City, or the girls who come to the temple to offer incense are not very good, or the security in Qizhou City is very good.

In addition to the charming scenery and surprising landscape in the temple, after the eyes are full, there is actually nothing to play, but it is better than spacious, there are many people, and there is no restraint in the house.

What is tourism: it is to run from the place where you are tired to the place where others are tired of playing, which is tourism.

Ruqing visited the thirty-two colored Arhats in the Thousand Buddha Palace, and saw that there were a lot of young girls in the old moon, and for a while she was playful, and stepped forward again, learning from others, silently reciting her name and birth time in front of the old man, and then holding the sticker, shaking it, and then pulling out one at will.

Ruyi thought about it repeatedly, but he didn't understand his meaning, so he took it to the old monk who had unsigned.

The old monk looked at Ruqing's lottery with a smile, and then shook his head, "Girl, this is the --- the lottery."

Ruqing froze, the year before she was six years old, with her grandmother came to ask for a signature, the lottery is signed, the signature is "trapped in the dragon and the water Huanglong has been trapped in the abyss for a long time, one day rises in the air, all the hopes are satisfactory, and the future luck is gradually higher", and last year she was seven years old, but also curious, and ran to ask for a return sign, and the signature was "the beginning of the month is bright and bright, and the future Lu is peaceful." The clouds sweep away and nothing happens, but disaster will not come. Yang Wenguang chased after Li Shimin. At that time, the old monk was asked to unsign, but the old monk took the sign and looked at Ruqing inside and out, left and right, and made Ruqing feel furious. Ruqing's heart is already pounding, shouldn't she be found to be funny? But fortunately, the old monk didn't recognize her, but just said that this sign was signed, saying that she was in a bad situation first, and then met a nobleman, and finally ended optimistically. Ruqing was Genghis Khan at that time. Last year, she didn't believe in evil again, and came to draw lots, and actually drew a lot, "The flower hair should be on the balcony, the car marched into Baolai, and the emperor heard about it, and listened to the thunder." At that time, she was awarded by the old man and learned that it was a sign to marry into a wealthy family, and she ran to show off to the old lady, and was almost slapped on the wall by the old lady, and was also scolded, "The little girl is young and doesn't learn, and she goes to learn those crooked ways, and when she goes back, she will punish me for copying the female ring a hundred times." ”

And this year's sign is even more strange, "Sanzang ambushes the two realms of the mountain, and Guanyin ambushes the Dapeng bird." "If you are wooden, you will kill her. The old monk carefully explained the meaning of the sign to Ruqing: "The girl's lover has appeared, but at present, her heart is outside and she refuses to return, but Guanyin Bodhisattva will ambush him." ”

Ruqing's ridicule is ridiculous, she is only ten years old, and she is still in the boudoir, one has not made a marriage with someone, and the other has not made a private agreement with someone for life, what is ambushed or not, this old monk can think of anything in order to cheat money.

Is----

Probably seeing Ruqing's inner thoughts, the old monk smiled and said, "The girl is not worried about getting married, why bother to draw lots here every year?" ”

Ruqing's sweat, wouldn't it, actually be recognized? This old monk's eyesight is really good.

Just as she was about to smear the oil on the soles of her feet and slip away, the old monk stopped her again and said, "Girl, everything is according to fate, don't force it, don't resist, everything is natural, and you can be rich and prosperous forever." Lao Na has seen countless marriages over the years, and the lottery that the girl drew last year is a portrayal of the girl's marriage in this life. The so-called flower hair should be on the balcony, the car marches into the treasure, the obsession hears the emperor's que, and the horse listens to the thunder. The girl's marriage is already doomed, and it is unshakable with the power of one alone, so it is better to go with the flow and enjoy the blessings of heaven. ”

Ruqing was confused, and didn't reply, just picked up the hem of her skirt and ran away.
