"Okay." Then he pulled Li Tang and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the vegetable garden behind the courtyard to have a look, Mrs. Shi has planted a lot of vegetables!" Jingchen smiled and went to the west room to prepare.

The three of them walked out of the courtyard gate, walked around the courtyard wall, there was no large vegetable garden behind the courtyard, and the stone road was uneven and small pieces of land.

It can be seen that the reclamation people are very careful and attentive, cleaning out the miscellaneous stones in the soil, basing them on the edge of the vegetable field, surrounding a small vegetable garden, and the vegetables in the soil grow very well, cabbage seedlings, red-skinned radish, small green vegetables one finger high... There is also a patch full of shallots.

There are also a few shelves set up on the side of the vegetable garden, which seem to be climbing frames for melons and beans, and now there is an orange-red old pumpkin with white frost lying under the shelf.

Bai Meixue pulled Li Tang to pick vegetable seedlings while watching the vegetable garden, and Bai Shaojie sat on the stone on the side.

After picking the vegetables, the three of them turned back to the courtyard, Bai Meixue pulled Li Tang to wash vegetables in the corner of the south courtyard, and Bai Shaojie sat on the stone bench under the west wall of the courtyard to continue his fugue.

The table and stool have been rubbed by rain for many years, and they are as smooth as a mirror.

Jingchen was cooking in the dining room, Bai Meixue went to the dining room with the washed vegetable seedlings and asked Mrs. Shi if she needed help, Mrs. Shi shook her head and smiled:

"No need, there are tea leaves in the cupboard, water is boiling in the pot, Miss Bai fills water and makes a pot of tea and goes outside to drink and rest."

"That's too much trouble."

After that, he opened the cabinet door, took the tea leaves in the porcelain jar in the second compartment of the cabinet, took the teapot on the stove and put the tea leaves, opened the lid, the water was tumbling, scooped the water into the teapot with a copper spoon, covered the lid, took the teacup with a tray, and carried it to the courtyard.

The wind from the top of the mountain blew into the courtyard, and the tall trees outside the wall could be seen looking up, and the three of them were drinking tea on the stone table.

Halfway through the Shen time, Mrs. Shi came out of the fasting room: "Miss Bai, the fasting room is small, can you eat in the courtyard!" ”

The nunnery is surrounded by tall trees, so it's not too cold, and it's okay to have a meal. Bai Meixue hurriedly got up: "Okay, Mrs. Shi." Jingchen returned to the fasting room, and Bai Meixue pulled Li Tang to go to the fasting room to help serve the food.

Stir-fried winter bamboo shoots with dry and spicy seeds, boiled radishes, stir-fried vegetable seedlings, and a bowl of stewed beans with mountain chestnuts are not stained with a drop of meat, but they are unusually rich in this deep mountain.

took the dishes and chopsticks to serve the rice, but Mrs. Shi got up and went to the side room: "Three slow use." ”

Bai Meixue hurriedly called her: "Mrs. Shi, won't you eat with us?" ”

Li Tang also hurriedly spoke: "Mrs., you have been busy for a long time, how can you not eat together?" ”

Jingchen smiled: "No, I have always eaten at night, it is dark in winter, and the mountain road is difficult to walk, so a few people went down the mountain early after eating." After speaking, he went back to the east wing room and meditated.

The three of them were a little embarrassed, and they couldn't persuade them, so they had to pick up the bowl and eat, the taste of the mountains and fields, as well as the vegetables grown by Mrs. Shi herself, were light and sweet, and the three of them ate very happily.

After eating the food, the three of them took the dishes and chopsticks back to the dining room, the fire in the stove was buried, and there was still hot water in the pot, so Bai Meixue pulled Li Tang to wash the dishes lightly.

Obviously she is the eldest lady, but it doesn't look unfamiliar to do these things, looking at the pair of thin hands washing dishes in the pot, Li Tang's dishwashing hands accidentally touched it, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly returned to her senses and concentrated on washing the dishes.

Bai Meixue washed it for the second time, and accidentally splashed water on Li Tang's hand, Li Tang instinctively withdrew his hand, Bai Meixue hurriedly put down the water scoop and looked at her hand: "Is there a burn, I'll take a look." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, the water isn't hot, you see." Ten fingers were white and slender, Bai Meixue saw the tire mark on the middle finger of her left hand: "It's all red, and she said it's okay, whether it hurts or not, I'll go to Shitai and ask if there is any medicine." ”

Stretched out her hand to pull Bai Meixue, who was about to turn around and go out in a hurry: "No, this is a fetal mark, and I have it since I was born, you see." As he spoke, he grabbed Bai Meixue's hand and touched it.

Gently touching the tire marks on his fingers: "Isn't it hot?" It's okay, it's okay. ”

Vegetarian dishes are not oily, just wash the bowl twice, Bai Meixue took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands, Li Tang suddenly remembered something, took out the small box from his arms and handed it to her, a little nervous: "Here you go." ”

Bai Meixue looked at the delicate brocade box in her hand and wondered:

"For me? What is it? ”

Li Tang nodded, a little embarrassed, and a little embarrassed:

"I made my own honey milk, with honey milk, and a few flavors of medicine, I've tried this, it can be used, you take it back and wipe your hands or something..."

The more he talked, the quieter he became, and his cheeks and ears burned red, probably no one would give this kind of thing to others!

Bai Meixue opened the lid of the box, and there was a porcelain jar the size of the palm of a hand at the end of the box, the lid was tightly fastened on the can, Bai Meixue opened the lid and put it between her nose, and a faint milk smell with a sweet fragrance came to her nose.

Honey milk is milky white and creamy, stretch out your fingers and dip a little bit on the other hand, the skin suddenly looks delicate and fair, and it is smooth to the touch.

Bai Meixue looked at her happily: "This is what you did, it's so ingenious." After saying that, he dipped some more and wiped his hands on.

"It's good if you don't dislike it, if you like it, I'll send it to you in the future, if it's summer, you can also add silver danweed, wipe it on your hands and cool it, it's very comfortable."

"Really? Then you will definitely show me what you do. ”

Li Tang nodded vigorously, looking at Bai Meixue's happy appearance, and getting her approval, Li Tang's heart was sweeter and smoother than smearing honey milk, and he was not ashamed of giving away such a thing at the moment.

The two of them went out of the room, Bai Shaojie had already taken a bamboo basket and sat on the stone table to wait, Bai Meixue went to the door of the east wing and knocked lightly: "Mrs. Shi, we have finished eating, we are going down the mountain." ”

Jingchen got up, opened the door and came out, looked at the three of them and said warmly: "The mountain road is not easy to walk, a few people should be careful on the way down the mountain." ”

"Okay, Mrs. Shi, then let's go, and we'll come back on the fifteenth." After saying goodbye, the three of them went out of the courtyard gate and went down the mountain, Jingchen went to the dining room to prepare to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and found that they had been washed and placed in the cupboard, smiling and shaking their heads.

The descent was much faster than the uphill, and when they reached the main road, the sky was already stained with a large area of gray, and when the three of them went out of the intersection, they saw a young man lying on a large rock beside the road, looking at the sky and not knowing what he was looking at.

Li Tang ran forward: "Brother." ”

Li Yu got up and looked at her with a smile: "Willing to let it go?" I'm going to spend the night in the mountains! ”

Seeing the two people behind her, she stepped forward to greet her: "Bai Gongzi, Miss Bai." ”

Bai Meixue smiled and nodded in response, Bai Shaojie was curious: "Why is Gongzi Li at this intersection?" ”

"Oh, it's Tang'er, she..." Before he finished speaking, Li Tang had stepped forward and covered his mouth:

"That's right, I made an appointment with my brother to go shopping on East Street for a while, so my brother came here and waited for me to go with me."

"I see." The two looked understanding.

The four of them walked together, and when they arrived at the fork in the road of Baifu, Li Tang said goodbye: "Miss Bai, when do you practice on weekdays?" Can I listen to it? ”

"Sometimes in the house, sometimes in the yard, if the weather is good, I will go to the plum forest in the mountain behind the yard, if I am in the forest, I will practice for an hour."

"Then if the weather is good these days, can I go to the forest to find you?"

"Naturally, do you know the way? But it's not hard to find, go around my gate to the east path, and follow it up for a short time to see. ”

Li Tang cheered in his heart: "Okay, if the weather is good, I will go to you." ”

When the brothers and sisters of the Bai family embarked on the way home, Li Tang reluctantly followed Li Yu to the town, and her mood seemed to have darkened because of the gray sky.

————

I think it's a happy day, and the next day it will be a sunny day, Li Tang took small steps and walked on the forest path outside the Baifu Courtyard.

Smelling the fragrance of the trees, stepping on the tamped soil, you can feel a moist and slightly cool through the soles of your shoes.

She was in a happy mood at the moment, and after looking forward to it for a long time, she could finally hear Bai Meixue's piano again.

Today's weather is good, so just after lunch, I hurriedly ran to the back mountain of Baifu, there is a small road around Baifu, it is easy to find, I think that people who usually come to the Bai family will walk here.

Although the weather is good, I am not sure that Bai Meixue will go to the back mountain to practice today, but I have a small expectation in my heart, and I am also a little nervous.

Li Tang stopped on a flat land on the back mountain, where there was a small corner pavilion, and a circle of peach trees were transplanted around it, and the whole field looked to be rested, with only palm-long grass.

There was a set of tables and stools in the corner pavilion, and there was a stone table on the grass outside the pavilion, and there were four stone benches around the table.

It seems to have come a little early, far away, standing on the mountain, you can vaguely see the courtyard of Baifu, there are occasional figures shuttling, but I can't see whether there is the one I look forward to seeing among those figures.

With nothing to do, Li Tang entered the corner pavilion, leaned on the chair around the pavilion with a pillow with one arm, and looked up at the sky with his legs crossed.

There were many tall trees in the forest, which blocked out the little light in the corner pavilion, and scattered some points of light from the cracks in the branches and leaves, and she thought that it would be pleasant to read in the forest in summer.

Thoughts were flying, walking after eating, at this time the mood was quiet, Li Tang began to be a little dazed and sleepy, squinting as if he was going to fall asleep.

How do you know that the sky does not fulfill people's wishes, as if something flew to his face, Li Tang was too lazy to open his eyes, probably an insect, so he stretched out his hand to drive away the disturbing insects and continued to fall asleep.

Who knew that the insect flew back again, Li Tang was furious, reached out and grabbed it, wanting to see what it was, but when he opened his eyes, he saw a piece of grass in his hand, and then a coquettish but pleasant laughter came into his ears.

On one side of the head, it was Bai Meixue's pink face, her eyes were bent like a string moon, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, her lips were lightly opened, her teeth were like rhinos, Li Tang was stunned...

"Miss Li, did you sleep soundly?" Bai Meixue was stunned when she saw her, and laughed loudly.

Li Tang came back to his senses, immediately sat up, dressed neatly, and was quite embarrassed:

"Miss Kashiwa... You're here, just right for me... I was just trying to get caught up in the matter, and I didn't hear you coming. ”
