Chapter 169: Request
Jin Nian and Mama Lin sent Xie to the gate of the mountain, and Mama Du and Mama Tong were already waiting by the carriage.
Seeing Jinnian's mother and daughter coming together, Tong's mother screamed: "Miss Sixth can't go, if you let the old lady know, you won't have to be angry." We are slaves and maidservants, and we should be scolded if we don't do things well. But if Miss Six went and came back and caused something unclean, she would have to worry the old lady and the third lady in vain. As he spoke, his eyes slipped on Xie's body.
Jin Nian knew that Tong's mother misunderstood that she was going to Baolin Nunnery with her.
She only smiled, her eyes were a little cold, Tong's mother said so many good things, and every word was using filial piety to pressure her.
Xie didn't think much about it, explained to Tong's mother with a smile, and finally asked Mama Lin to take Jinnian back to the wing: "...... There are many people in the temple, you take the young lady to choose a place with fewer people, but don't go to the purple bamboo forest that the monk said. ”
A few years ago, my daughter was suddenly afraid of snakes for some reason, and when she saw soft reptiles, she was so frightened that she avoided them.
After Xie finished speaking, he was about to step into the carriage.
When he raised his eyes, he saw Su Zifeng moving out of the car, bending his back, and whispering to her, "Mother......."
Xie Shi was stunned for a moment, and saw that he was very aggrieved, so he asked: "Brother Feng, why did you run out, everyone is still eating in the temple." ”
"I ......" Su Zifeng pursed his lips and snorted for a long time before saying, "I, I...... I want to see her one last time. ”
Jin Nian turned around and looked at Su Zifeng behind him silently, he bit his lip and his eyes were slightly red, obviously crying.
Xie Shi couldn't bear it, and Su Zifeng wanted to send Aunt Rong on her last journey. But if you take him there, when you come back, the old lady will attack her again, and when she wants to stop, she will pity his filial piety.
When I was in a dilemma, I heard Tong's mother say: "The third young master still don't embarrass us, you know, the old lady spoke." To say something that shouldn't be said, if the third young master is really hit by the Yin Spirit, what should it be? ”
When Su Zifeng heard this, he just stared at Mother Tong gloomily, and didn't say anything to distinguish it.
Xie Shi sighed and said to Tong's mother: "Just let the third young master go with us, after all, he is the biological mother who raised him to adulthood." Although she doesn't like Aunt Rong, but death is great, and she wants to fulfill Su Zifeng's filial piety.
Tong's mother squeezed out a little smile on her face: "I know that the third lady has always been kind-hearted, could it be that our heart to be slaves and maids is to make stones?" But ......" looked at Su Zifeng and said, "Or, the third young master begged the old lady to go first?" ”
The third lady doesn't have much thought, but she is serving by the old lady's side, and she can still figure out the old lady's thoughts. The old lady didn't let the juniors decorate Aunt Rong's funeral, wasn't it just for the sake of Miss Quanwu's face?
Fifth Miss as Aunt Rong's biological daughter doesn't go to the funeral, if the other juniors go, where will Miss Five's filial piety be? !
When Jin Nian heard this, he knew that Tong's mother didn't want to be this villain.
She took off the jade bracelet on her left wrist and stepped forward to stuff it into Tong's mother's hand: "Just a gadget for my mother to play with, and beg my mother to give the third brother a convenience." I promise you, I know this, but my grandmother doesn't know about it. ”
Mother Tong secretly glanced at the jade bracelet in her hand, the soft texture, slightly cool in the hand.
Miss Six is getting better at talking and doing things!
After laughing dryly twice, Mother Tong said, "Miss Six is too polite, if Aunt Rong knows about it, she will definitely miss Miss Six." ”
As he spoke, he wrapped the jade bracelet into his wide sleeve.
Jin Nian smiled and didn't answer, how could Aunt Rong miss her, and besides, she didn't need it. It was selfish to let Su Zifeng follow her mother, at least her mother didn't have to decorate Aunt Rong's funeral with her own hands, Aunt Rong was just a concubine, where did she get such a big face. Jin Yong Chinese
When Su Zifeng sat down firmly in the car, the coachman immediately turned the front of the car, and the jujube red horse "got it" spread its hooves and ran down the mountain.
Jin Nian and Mama Lin turned around and entered the Qiling Temple again.
Just after noon, there were many more pilgrims in the temple than in the morning, and the square in front of the first major hall was full of people on the inside and outside of the three floors, and even the wide road where they came out was crowded with people.
The midday sun is a little poisonous, and the sun is hot on the body.
Mama Lin was so anxious that she couldn't do it, and she was afraid that outsiders would collide with Jinnian, and she was afraid that the old lady would come out first, so they went to the wing room and pounced on it, so that they could not catch a little novice for inquiry, and then they found a secluded path back to the back wing.
The master and servant avoided the three major halls, bypassing the mirror lake in front of the bell tower, Mama Lin was very cautious, and only met a few pilgrims sporadically along the way, and both of them avoided and waited for people to pass before coming out.
After walking for nearly half an hour, their wing room was not far away, and they only had to pass through the purple bamboo forest in front of them to reach it.
Mama Lin meant to take a detour: "...... The old lady had to wait for the sun to turn west before returning home. "Madame confessed not to let me go to the bamboo forest, for fear that there would be snakes infested, Jin Nian was afraid.
Jin Nian shook her head, in today's situation, who knows what the old lady thinks in her heart, if she really leaves first, she really has to walk back to the city.
What's more, there are not necessarily snakes in the bamboo forest.
Mama Lin also knew this, picked up a branch from the side of the road, and cheered Jin Nian up: "Don't worry, I'll drive the road ahead to catch the snake." She waved the branch and said, "Although you were born of the same father, you have nothing in common with Miss Five, except for the fear of snakes." ”
Jin Nian smiled, speaking of which, her fear of snakes was still caused by Su Jintong.
Three or four years ago, Su Jintong dragged her to buy pearl flowers on the street. The New Year is approaching, and there are many small vendors along the East Street, selling pottery dolls, mountain goods, rust, jewelry, and even juggling.
Su Jintong felt novel, and pulled Jinnian to get out of the car and walk all the way. When passing by a stall selling snakes, because it was the first time he had seen a snake at such a close distance, Su Jintong watched curiously. It was a snake with gold threads on its body, lying cross-legged on the ground motionless.
Su Jintong asked the snake seller is a teenager: "Is it dead?" How to be motionless. ”
The boy thought for a moment and replied, "It's hibernating, it's no different from dying." ”
Su Jintong has always been bold, and when he heard the words, he squatted down and picked up the bamboo sticks of the sugar gourd and poked it directly at the snake, and the snake was really motionless.
Jin Nian saw that there was a lot of noise in the market, and the snake was poked by Su Jintong for a while and didn't wake up, so he had the courage to squat down and watch. As a result, as soon as she probed, the snake suddenly flicked its tail, its head and body stood up violently, and spat snake letters at the two of them.
The sudden change occurred, she and Su Jintong were both stupid, and their legs and feet were weak and they all collapsed on the ground.
Since then, both of them have been afraid of snakes, and as soon as they enter the summer, the house will be lit with realgar.
Over there, Mama Lin had already taken the lead into the bamboo forest.
It was late spring, and the purple bamboo forest had already drawn its branches, and the branches and leaves swayed and rustled with the wind.
Jin Nian wiped the fine sweat on her forehead with a silk handkerchief, and then looked at the road carefully before she stepped forward, there were many colorful purple-red rocks on both sides of the road, and she didn't dare to take a few more looks.
When he was about to leave the bamboo forest, he saw someone standing in the pavilion not far away, followed by two guards with knives on their waists. The man was wearing a Bao Dai gown and stood in a very leisurely posture.
It seems to be Gu Yanyi.
