Chapter 54: Spring Affair (II)

Huaxi sat in a rocking chair with a cotton blanket, a book in her hand, and a pastel tea bowl on the table. The sun shines through the window, and the white face of the pink delicacy gives birth to a little charming style in the soft light, like a peony flower with dew drops in the morning light, which inadvertently blooms with moving brilliance.

Yun Yi was slightly stunned, it has been almost a year since she entered the mansion, Huaxi seems to have become more beautiful, if it is another two years, I don't know what it will look like?

"The fourth sister is here, sit down. Come on, serve tea. Huaxi put down the book and smiled at Yunyi.

"Well, are your feet better?" Yun Yi sat down on the circle chair opposite Huaxi and glanced at Huaxi's injured foot.

"After taking the medicine, it doesn't hurt anymore."

Cui Ming served tea, Yun Yi nodded, took the teacup in her hand, was a little absent-minded, and paused for a while before saying, "Last night, thank you." ”

"It's just a lamp, the fourth sister is polite."

"No, you don't understand...... Although it was a coincidence, ...... "That lamp has her memories, not with the help of the words she gave, how can I meet Luodong Wang Shi again." Thinking of these, Yunyi is sweet and helpless, limited by her family background, even if she is affectionate, she may not be able to get what she wants. There are also Yun Lin's words, Shi cherishes talents, although he has some talents, but he can't make such words...... Raising her eyes to look at Huaxi, she is very beautiful, if she has a heart......

Yun Yi's face changed, her expression was complicated, and she asked, "By the time the third day of the third month of March is celebrated, your feet should be fine, but do you want to go out of the house?" ”

Huaxi was stunned, glanced at Yunyi, and immediately understood what she meant, took a sip of tea and looked out the window, "It's also warm when I go up, I don't know if I can wear the cloak anymore......"

Although the words were a little inexplicable, Yun Yi understood, because of her appearance and life experience, she didn't like to show her head. was a little uncertain in her heart, and Yun Yi said again: "At that time, it was windy in Beijing, and most of the girls from each family wore hats to go out. ”

Huaxi turned her head and smiled indifferently, "That thing is troublesome to wear, I think it's better to be spared." I made a lively and twisted my foot, and the place with a lot of people was not suitable for me to go. But it's nice to be able to go out......"

Huaxi paused, glanced at Yunyi, and saw that she was stiff, so she muttered: "If the old lady agrees, I want to go to Wicker Lane to see Mother Liu, and then go to Puji Temple to incense my mother." ”

Huaxi and Liu's mother ** have an unusual relationship, if she goes to burn incense, then she will definitely not go to the poetry meeting. Yun Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and when she looked up again, she saw Huaxi lying lazily on the rocking chair again, squinting at herself, her heart was tight, and she hurriedly smiled to cover it up, "I got some good cloud tea there, and I forgot to bring it when I went out today, so I turned around and asked Frangipani to bring it to you." ”

"Okay, Huaxi is blessed." Huaxi didn't shirk either, and said, "I remember that the fourth sister and the fifth sister were in the same year, the fourth sister was born in March, and the fifth sister seems to be in April, I don't know if Huaxi remembered it wrong?" ”

Yun Yi nodded, "That's right." I am the tenth day of the first month of March, and your fifth sister is the first day of the fourth month. ”

Huaxi said thoughtfully: "The fourth sister and the fifth sister are all in time this year, and I have to express myself well then." ”

Yun Yi saw that she was nothing unusual, and she was relieved, so she got up and said goodbye: "Hehe, then I will thank you in advance." But it's still early, so you can rest first. On the second day of February, the two grandmothers returned, and then they had to be busy again. I still have a few embroidery jobs left by my grandmother over there that I haven't finished, so I'll go first! ”

"Okay, sister, go slowly! Red willow sent four girls. ”

Hongliu sent Yunyi out, and Chunying walked in from outside.

"I was in a hurry last night, and I didn't bother to ask you, but I was hurt?" Huaxi didn't see Chunying when she got up early in the morning, and when she saw her come in, she asked.

Chunying replied: "It's just a bruise, it's not in the way, Miss Xie cares." ”

Huaxi pointed to the drawer under the dresser, "When I was living at my aunt's house, I happened to see that she had wild aloe vera from Yunnan at home, and I made two boxes of aloe vera paste and put it in the drawer. ”

Chunying heard that it was something from the Weiyuan Marquis's mansion, and she thought it must be precious, and the girl was ready to give herself a box without blinking, just because she was injured when she went out with her yesterday, but when the girl was injured last night, she didn't help at all, how could there be a reason to receive a reward.

Chunying hurriedly shook her head in fear and said: "The girl is kind, the slave maid didn't protect the girl well yesterday and the girl was injured, you didn't punish the slave maid, the slave maid is already very lucky, how can I be rewarded by you again." ”

"I can't blame you, no one can expect that kind of situation." Huaxi recalled last night, and still had palpitations, but fortunately ran into that cold wall of flesh.

"Take it if you want to. I've been unable to move for the past few days, so I'll go back and help me draw two patterns. After more than a month to catch up with the fourth and fifth sisters and Lu, I want to make two pairs of embroidered shoes, you embroider well, and you will need your help. ”

Chunying didn't refuse anymore, took the ointment from the drawer and put it in her purse, packed up the tea set and thanked Huaxi and left the house.

After ten days, Huaxi's feet were almost better. Qin and Ma also came back to Mujia after the New Year. Huaxi and the Mu sisters started class again. Yun Yi seems to have changed her personality, changing her peaceful style in the past, whether it is a female celebrity, piano skills, or poetry chapters, she has learned very seriously and performed more and more outstandingly. Yun Xin didn't know why she was getting closer and closer to Yun Yi, and Yun Lin often sneered behind her back, but she also had enough energy to practice poetry, as for Yun Ning's distraction more and more, she was also hit twice. Everyone is looking forward to the arrival of Shangsi. Huaxi is still the same, and the changes of others have nothing to do with her, and her face is always light.

Huaxi went to greet the Xiao family. Regarding the matter of the Lantern Festival, Xiao didn't seem to have delved into it, and asked lightly about the poetry meeting, Huaxi only said that Chen Shi only invited Mu Xiuyuan, and then mentioned that Shangsi went to worship Mu Xiangwan.

"Old lady, when I went up, Huaxi wanted to go to see Mother Liu first, and then go to Puji Temple. It's over, and I want to go to Cuiping Mountain to see my mother's grave. ”

Mu Xiangwan did not marry, and was finally buried in the back mountain of Cuiping Mountain, and did not return to the ancestral grave of the Mu family in Dengzhou. And on the day of Shangsi, the clansmen of the Mu family to worship their ancestors and side branches had to get together, and it was impossible for the Xiao family to allow Huaxi to appear there. After the ancestor worship is over, Mu Xiuyuan and Mu Yunyi are going to go to the poetry meeting, and Yun Ning and Yun Lin must also follow. Huaxi didn't want to go, and there were many people who the Mu family didn't want to let them go, so they just avoided going to Cuiping Mountain.

Xiao Shi sighed and nodded, "You are a person of pure filial piety. Go ahead. If it's late, you can rest overnight at the village where you were staying and come back early the next morning. ”

On the third day of the first month of March, before dawn, Huaxi got up, combed a fallen horse bun, wore a pair of willow silver ears on his ears, wore a moon-white dress, and wore a white jade bracelet on his wrist.

After packing up, Huaxi asked Chunying to bring a box of boiled eggs dyed in blue and mixed colors and painted in advance, Mu Xi carried a basket of ingots and incense candles, and while everyone in the house did not get up, the three of them took the car out of Mu's house and went straight to Wicker Lane.

Because she was going to sweep Mu Xiangwan's tomb, Liu's mother would definitely go together, so the day before, Huaxi had asked Mu Xi to send a message to Liu's mother. When they arrived at Liu's house early in the morning, Liu's mother and Ding Xiang and his wife had already gotten up. Huaxi put down the eggs for Liu's mother and chatted with Lilac again. Ding Xiang and Liu Qigui wanted to see the shop, and Huaxi took Liu's mother to Puji Temple by car.

Puji Temple is located on the top of Cuiping Mountain and is one of the three most famous temples in Shangjing. Huaxi has lived at the foot of Houshan Mountain for 12 years, and every day when he wakes up, he can hear the sound of the morning bell in the temple.

The carriage can only go up halfway up the mountain, and the second half of the journey has to go up a hundred and ten steps to reach the top. When they arrived at the mountainside, the sky was bright, Huaxi, Liu's mother, Chunying and Mu Xi got out of the car, and pilgrims were already going up the mountain one after another. Liu's mother asked Huaxi to go up in a soft sedan chair, Huaxi shook her head and said, since she came, she had to be sincere and hike up the mountain.

Wearing a scarf, Huaxi walked up the mountain with Liu's mother and others. Along the way, you'll find a lush forest of pine and cedar trees, with occasional birdsong and the occasional squirrel running up the stone steps to the other.

There are not many pedestrians on the road, Huaxi lifted the white gauze of the hat and put it on the brim, took a deep breath, smelled the faint moisture of the aroma of grass and trees, and felt fresh. The familiar sound of a bell suddenly sounded in his ears, startling the birds. Huaxi happily said to Liu's mother: "Mom, it's been almost thirteen years, and I finally came up to the mountain to see Puji Temple with my own eyes." ”

"Yes, yes, it turns out that you often talk about taking a good look at this monk temple, and now you have a chance." Thinking of the previous days, Mother Liu couldn't help but feel sorry for Huaxi, poor girl, who had been in a small mountain villa for twelve years, and couldn't even go to the temple that was close at hand.

"I heard that the vegetarian food here is very famous, and you can try it after the incense is served later."

Huaxi's voice was so excited, Liu's mother felt sour, and replied sneeringly: "Okay, good, it's all up to you." ”

Chunying and Mu Xi also smiled and agreed.

On the top of the mountain, walk a hundred steps is the release pool, and cross the stone arch bridge on the pond is the mountain gate. At this time, a lot of pilgrims had gathered at the door, and after waiting for about a moment, the mountain gate was opened, and Huaxi and others entered with the flow of people. After bowing to the incense in the main hall, Huaxi asked Liu's mother to pay a hundred taels of sesame oil, and the temple came to receive the monks. Huaxi proposed to use vegetarian food in the temple at noon, and the guest monk promised to lead Huaxi and his party to the backyard meditation room to rest, and introduced the scenery of the temple to Huaxi.

After a short rest, Liu's mother said that she was old and her legs and feet were not good, and she stayed in the meditation room to rest, and Huaxi took Chunying and Mu Xi to the peach blossom forest that the monk said. The forest is not big, but at this time, the flowers are blooming just right, delicate and red, and the jade snow is like clouds, which has also attracted many pilgrims to stop. After turning around in the forest for half an hour, Huaxi turned back to the Zen temple where he was resting.

Just about to enter the door, suddenly a gust of wind passed by him, and Huaxi was hit by someone, stumbling under his feet and almost falling. A pale green figure ran into the courtyard, shouting: "Madam, madam, someone is coming, someone is coming from the house!" We can go back. ”
