Chapter 073: Human Whispers (3)
Ximo was puzzled, but he couldn't ask in detail.
First, over the years, my mother has known many nuns outside; Second, this is the mother's kindness. In the past, there were also monks from Youfang who came to Shifu for a little entanglement and a little travel expenses. They didn't look for the old lady in the house, they only saw Ximo alone.
When you finish, you smile, say hello, fold your hands, wrap yourself up, and continue to travel.
Ximo is a little used to it.
The relationship between the mother and son is really wonderful. It doesn't look good, but they keep coming and going. It's rare to see each other, but they can't help but care.
Qiu Wen did not agree to Ximo, so he worked in the small kitchen as usual. She is only responsible for the food of the uncle. After breakfast, Qing'er went to the small kitchen and showed Qiuwen a note, Qing'er said in a low voice: "Uncle wrote it, take a look, and I'll rub it later." ”
Autumn pattern has to be seen.
A few words were written on the note, which was nothing more than a reminder to Qiu Wen that lunch was simpler and he was more comfortable. When I left yesterday, Ximo added another sentence to Qiuwen, saying that he had recently maintained his health and did not eat meat, but asked for cereals, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, taro and millet, all of which were favored.
How do you not understand autumn lines?
She nodded at Qing'er: "Got it." ”
Uncle will still not bear her to work. Coarse grains are good, but they also need to be matched with fine grains. Qiu Wen pondered the work of a cup of tea and made a few delicious meals with fresh colors and flavors.
On this day, a bald old nun dressed in Haiqing appeared in Ximo's courtyard. This old nun is about fifty years old, although she is a traveling old nun, her skin is extremely delicate and her appearance is extremely delicate. When she calmly walked to the grass house, everyone was stunned. It's so old, it's all so good-looking, I think it's a stunning look when I'm young.
Ximo invited Qiuwen to come over and cook a vegetarian meal with this old nun.
Lao Ni modestly said to Ximo, "Amitabha". She said to Autumn Pattern again. Autumn Wen hurriedly returned the salute. After Qiu Wen finished the meal, the old nun put down the prayer beads, and kept staring at her with her eyes.
This made Autumn Pattern panic.
Ximo served tea to the old nun and asked her Dharma name.
Ximo didn't want to keep Qiu Wen busy, but only Qiu Wen was good at preparing food in the small kitchen. I have to work hard for her. After the old nun left, Ximo had already thought about giving Qiuwen something.
Qiu Wen put down the tray, and Ximo whispered: "I'm tired of you." ”
Qiu Wen hurriedly shook his head: "Uncle, the meal is made very quickly, and the slave maid is very happy, and it is within his bounds." ”
"Later, you can come back again."
Creek Mo whispered.
His attitude was ambiguous, and his face was flushed, which made Qiu Wen unnatural, and his heart was pounding. "Okay." After saying this, Autumn Moon bowed his head and wanted to leave.
I didn't want the old nun to get up, smiled at her and said, "This girl, thank you for your meal, may I ask...... Where are you from? ”
Lao Ni was so polite, Qiu Wen felt uneasy.
She is just a subordinate of the grass house, and she should serve the master's guests.
"Master, I'm from Jiangcheng."
Old Ni was slightly disappointed.
"Girl, how old are you today?"
"Sixteen."
The old nun thought for a while, and then asked, "But you moved from somewhere else?" ”
Autumn Moon shook his head: "No. ”
She picked it up, and in her infancy, she didn't know who her biological father was, so she could only shake her head.
Lao Ni was very disappointed and sighed: "It turned out that it was not. ”
What she said made Qiu Wen surprised, seeing that the old nun wanted to speak and stopped, what did she want to say? But because it was the first time I saw it, I couldn't ask anything. Besides, she's just a maid.
"Master, you use it slowly, I'll go down."
Lao Ni nodded, his eyes still staring at Qiu Wen's back, thoughtful.
Ximo reminded the old nun to eat. Old Nifu smiled again: "Excuse me, I'll leave after noon." ”
"Why be in such a hurry?"
"You can't help but hurry. By the way, this is a string of Buddhist beads that I gave to your mother, and you took it for her. Lao Ni took out a brocade-wrapped box from a bag and handed it to Ximo.
The brocade is old, with a hint of bright yellow. This made Ximo wonder, thinking that he had seen it wrong. Bright yellow, that is only worn by the emperor in the palace. Regardless of the monks and laymen, no matter what the people, once they are dyed with this color, they will be arrested and sent to prison. However, this is not only the good intention of Lao Nun, but Ximo cannot refuse.
Fortunately, the brocade is old-fashioned, and you can't see anything if you don't look closely. When you give the beads to your mother, you can just put away the brocade handkerchief or simply burn it.
Ximo asked where the old nun was going?
"Master, don't ask. I have come from where I have come and I have gone from where I have been. ”
When she talks to people, she still calls the word "I", which inevitably makes Ximo strange again.
"I'm worried about Master, I'm tired and thirsty on the way, and I want Master to leave in a carriage."
Lao Ni shook his head: "No." I'm used to walking everywhere. ”
And the old nun ate fasting.
To Ximo's surprise, Lao Ni's left hand was missing two fingers for some reason. It can be seen that he is also a person with a story.
After the meal, Ximo gave the old nun a full three hundred taels of silver according to his mother's instructions.
Lao Ni thanked him again, but his face was more vicissitudes.
Before leaving, she didn't forget to ask: "Master, what is the name of the girl who cooked with me?" ”
"Her name is Akimosa. Autumn of autumn, the pattern of water lines. ”
Ximo was also curious, but after thinking about it, he stopped talking and didn't ask. Lao Ni saw Ximo's expression, but took the initiative to tell: "This girl looks like a peugeot, she looks more kind, very much like an old man of mine." ”
Ximo smiled slightly.
Lao Ni did not refuse Ximo's kindness and got into the carriage.
Within a few days, Ximo sent the Buddha sent by the old nun to Panlong Temple. When Mrs. Yu saw this string of Buddhist beads, she was very grateful and quietly wiped away her tears.
"Mother, who is she?"
Lady Jade asked, "Where did you send her?" ”
"I sent Master Erxin to the outskirts of Jiangcheng, this is what she ordered."
Madame Jade nodded.
She ...... Before becoming a monk, what was your identity? ”
"You don't have to know that."
Ximo fell silent.
Mrs. Yu's attitude softened a little: "That autumn-veined girl, how are you served?" ”
"Very good."
"In that case, it is better to have her by your side. Isn't Chunqin gone? Someone has to be close to you. ”
"Mother means ......"
Mrs. Jade said, "Okay." I'm not going to hide it from you. Although I am here, there are still a few in the cottage who have served me before. They have always been faithful to me. I can't tell you who they are. In short, these men are very loyal to you. I heard in a trance that the girl with Autumn Pattern had been beaten again. This incident was also framed by others. I have always known that when the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it. This girl has been in the house for a short time, and if she stands out like this, she will definitely be jealous of the villain. I think she is a steady person, and serving you must be more attentive than Chunqin. It's better for you to transfer her here and let her do what she did in the past. ”
Ximo was overjoyed.
These are the words he was prepared to say to his mother.
However, even if he doesn't say it, he can call the shots himself.
"My son got it."
Ladies and gentlemen, why did your lady Daoyu take the initiative to ask about the autumn pattern? In fact, there is a reason. Ximo didn't know that this old nun turned around from the suburbs and came to Panlong Temple again and saw Mrs. Yu. The two talked in the room for a long time. Lao Ni told Mrs. Yu with tears in her eyes, saying that a girl named Qiuwen in the house, looking at her face, her face, figure, and voice, she was only exactly the same as her brother and daughter-in-law. Madame Jade was also silent.
That day in the grass house, she saw the autumn pattern for the first time, but she was also surprised. There are such similar people in the world! But the people of the Shu family are no longer alive, along with the baby girl who just gave birth to a month. Madame Yu didn't dare to think deeply, but she still asked about Qiuwen's origin.
"Mother, that child is no longer alive. Come to think of it, it shouldn't be autumn patterns. There are similarities in these flowers, and there are similarities in people. I had doubts that day, too. ”
"I'm so down, incognito, you don't have to call me Niangniang. Yes, my mother's family is gone, how can the little baby live alone? But looking at the autumn pattern, it did make me in a trance, thinking that I had seen my brother and daughter-in-law Lan Rui. ”
It is because of the appearance of an old man who looks like Mrs. Yu and Er Xin Lao Ni, that Qiu Wen got lucky. It's not because she's good at cooking, but because of her appearance, Mrs. Yu reminds her of many past events and is compassionate, so she treats Qiu Wen well.
Mrs. Yu arranged it carefully, and she had already concealed Ximo.
Ximo was overjoyed, returned to the house, entered the grass house, and asked people to look for autumn patterns.
Where is the autumn pattern? In a deserted garden attached to a bamboo forest. What to do? Grow vegetables. Since the uncle likes to eat whole grains, she has to grow many vegetables and vegetables. The prices sold in the bazaar are expensive and not fresh. It's better to grow it yourself. It is convenient to grow vegetables, and the autumn pattern is also half an expert. The subordinates of Shifu are all born in the family, and they don't know the crops in the countryside, let alone what melons to plant and what to plant.
Ximo finally found here.
"The weather hasn't warmed up yet, so why bother planting vegetables and freezing?"
He walked towards the wasteland. It looks barren from a distance, but when you look closely, you can still find a small vegetable seedling on the ground with excellent combed ridges. The seedlings are out of the ground, the autumn veins are watered, and they shake the young leaves in the cold wind.
Autumn Wen turned around, she didn't feel cold at all.
"Uncle."
"Let's go back."
"Uncle, what do you think of here?" Qiuwen's forehead was also dripping with a slight sweat, and the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, which was extremely moving.
"Good. But...... Won't this vegetable seedling freeze to death? ”
"No, the colder it gets, the better they emit out."
"Oh?" Ximo didn't understand this, "How much time did it take you to grow these?" ”
"Two days."
"Two days? Can the tooth break through the ground? Ximo was surprised. It seems that it is easier to grow vegetables than flowers.
"Yes. It only takes two days. It's not spring yet. It's going to be spring, and after a rain, the buds will emerge the next day. ”
Speaking of these, Autumn Pattern looked confident.
Ximo was thoughtful. She kneaded pasta and made pastries in the kitchen, and although she was serious, she was not as pleasant. At this time, she was smiling brightly and her attitude relaxed, which showed that she really liked to grow vegetables, and her labor made her happy. Autumn patterns are cautious. For months, I didn't know what she really liked.
"Today I went to Panlong Temple and met my wife. Wife...... Let you move out of the small kitchen and come to serve in my study, just like Chunqin's previous messenger. This is what my wife wanted, and she asked me to tell you that you must obey her. ”
Autumn pattern was stunned.
Is there such a thing? How did he become a small person, how did he repeatedly fall into the eyes of his wife?
"Uncle, is that really the case?"
"Naturally. I was going to say that. However, even if my wife doesn't agree, I'll move you out of the kitchen. It's crowded and noisy, so it's not for you. If you have a wife, I think you should be careless. ”
Ximo took a step closer to her.
