Chapter 5 Jihui Temple
Jihui Temple.
As soon as you hear the name, you know that the owner of this place takes it very seriously.
In fact, this master is indeed as bright as the first sun, and the world is extremely beautiful.
This is what she has seen, Lin Huaijin's best time. The young man with red lips and white teeth has taken off his immaturity, and his phoenix eyes are black and white. He just stood smiling, not even the midday sun could hide his light. She suddenly thought of Erya's words, the son of the world is quite Zhou Dalang's style, and Zhou Dalang is the dream person of many girls. She turned her head to look at Erya and found that Erya was already crazy.
Many years later, when Cersei recalls him, this scene is still unforgettable. At that time, he was still a young man, with the self-restraint of a noble child, his smile was pure and clean, and he did not stir up dust. Everything in the world seems to be in him. And she is just a little maid with 500 yuan a month, satisfied with food and clothing, happy at mentioning the monthly case of 800 yuan, excited and amazing to see her benefactor.
Lin Huaijin went to the academy in the morning, and in the afternoon, there were warriors invited by An Guogong from the army to teach fists, feet, riding and archery. However, Erya-now given the famous "Yancao"-can often meet Lin Huaijin, so it has become the norm to talk to Cersei about Lin Huaijin every day, and he disdains those "clever and handsome" little guys in the past.
"Our house obviously invited Xixi, but the prince has to go to the academy so far away to study, and when he comes back, he has to practice riding and archery with two mouthfuls of food, which is too hard." Yancao was doing needlework and muttering to Chow.
"Cersei, you go to the big kitchen to bring our food for today, hurry up on the road, it was half cold last time." Beth pushed the door open and entered, glancing condescendingly at the two of them.
Yan Cao was swept away by Bisi's eyes, and her face immediately darkened: "This is obviously a green branch job, why do you want to do it!" ”
"Yo, what, I can't call you, and I can't call her? Since you are on an errand in this courtyard, you don't have work to do but you are here to knock your teeth, everyone is a girl, and you can't do it if you do it? ”
Yan Cao jumped up: "You let Cerse run the big kitchen today, let her run errands in the outer yard tomorrow, and let her water the flowers and feed the birds the day after tomorrow, Cerse did all the work of Green Branches and Qin Sang, what are they doing?" ”
Cersei hurriedly held down Yancao and smiled at Bis: "Got it, Sister Bisi, I'll go here." ”
Beth snorted coldly, turned around and went out, muttering to herself in a voice that could be heard by both of them: "I really think of myself as a character, and I don't look at what I am." ”
Yan Cao was so angry that she couldn't speak, and she hurriedly persuaded her: "Good sister, if you are really angry, then it is as she wants." It's just running errands, which is nothing to me, and I can still move and keep fit. ”
Yan Cao glared at her: "You are a good talker." ”
Cersei smiled: "It's just not worth being angry with her because of this little thing, I'll go get the food first, and I'll talk to you in detail when I come back, and you will listen to what I say when the time comes." ”
Seeing that Yancao nodded in response, she went, but the road was unhurried, and she was not in a hurry as Bessie instructed.
It was almost late autumn, and the wind blew off the yellow leaves on the ground, and he stopped and watched a line of gray fluttering birds fly by in the distance. The sky was so big and so far away, far beyond the courtyard wall, and those birds stretched their wings, and they were chic and free. She squinted and looked up to see their figures disappear over the gray tiles, and then looked down at the broken yellow leaves of the place, and for the first time felt a little sad in her heart. She couldn't help but shake her head, trying to get rid of this sorrow.
A small courtyard is the epitome of a house. The courtyard of the prince is so chaotic, it can be seen that the Anguo Mansion is just in ruins, barely maintaining a stable and orderly appearance. She suddenly felt that she should save some money, in case the Guogong Mansion collapsed one day, or was kicked out of the Guogong Mansion, she could barely make do with some days.
After taking the food and coming back, she walked to the gate of the courtyard, she stepped up a few steps, slightly gasping, as if she was rushing all the way. Green Zhi didn't know where to play, he was pulling Qin Sang to speak, and when he saw that Cersei was back, he pouted, took the lunch box, and thanked her without being salty, and accepted it with a smile.
Instead, Qin Sang opened the food box and glanced at it, rolling his eyes: "Seeing that you are out of breath, you thought you could have a hot meal today." ”
Cersei glanced at the green branch, the green branch was not so thick-skinned, and hurriedly said to Qin Sang: "Eat it quickly, I have to go to the garden to pick some osmanthus flowers in the afternoon." ”
Every autumn, the house will let the little maids pick some osmanthus and send it to the big kitchen to make osmanthus cake, osmanthus wine and osmanthus root powder. If you pick more, you can make more people in the big kitchen, and they can also enjoy some delicious food, and the maids who go to pick flowers every year are very concerned about this.
Moreover, every year by picking flowers, the girls and mothers-in-law get together, and people who can't be contacted on weekdays can also chat a few words and find out a lot of news. Therefore, although picking flowers is hard work, Lu Zhi and Qin Sang don't want to take Cersei to show their faces, in the words of the two of them in private, shame.
Qin Sang really stopped talking and buried himself in eating. Cersei smiled at the green branch and went back to the house to eat.
Just after taking two bites, Bisi came again: "Today, the green hibiscus and the ink chrysanthemum are blooming well, you go and pick some of the halls and halls that are placed in the mansion, which is also the intention of our son." ”
Yan Cao got up "Huo", pointed at Bisi and scolded: "Cersei only ate two bites after delivering food to you, and you came to call her to run errands again, are all the people in this courtyard dead?" Can't even let her eat Ansheng? ”
Bisi said strangely: "Who in this courtyard doesn't eat, who isn't busy, Lu Zhi and Qin Sang just ate two bites and went to work, you guys eat slowly, I wonder if you eat slowly?" ”
Yan Cao trembled with anger and pointed at her: "Who doesn't know that you are all unprofitable and can't afford to eat early, and you will eat two bites of food when you are so busy, I think you are in a hurry to offer your courtesy!" Let Cerse go to the hall and the hall, which is far away and uninhabited, I am afraid that you are in a hurry to go to the old lady's house and sell it! ”
Cersei saw that Bezy had a malicious look, and she was provocative, knowing that she just wanted to provoke Yancao and make a big fuss so that they would be punished. Seeing that Yancao was pressed, Bisi slammed the door with a contemptuous "snort".
Yan Cao's face turned red and white, and she yelled, "What do you do to promise her!" I'm sorry for you, but you're good, you deserve to be called happy, and it's no wonder that people look down on you! ”
Cersei hurriedly comforted her: "Good sister, I know that you are good for me, for me, don't be angry, she just wants to provoke you to make a big noise, and then let Mrs. send us down, if you really quarrel with her, then it will be a plan." ”
Yan Cao's eyes turned red, and she gave her two chopsticks dishes: "I don't know her bad eyes, I just can't see that she always lets you work when she eats, this has been done many times, she just did it on purpose!" Don't talk about it yet, eat first, and eat two more bites. ”
Cersei was moved in her heart, and smiled at the rice: "Okay, okay, I'll eat two more bites, anyway, there is no one in the hall, two steps earlier and two steps later are the same." ”
Yan Cao's heart was a little smoother, and when she saw that she put the bowl down, she said, "Sister, what do you think of the situation in the courtyard now, and we are getting better?" ”
Yan Cao was silent for a while: "They have been working in this courtyard on errands, and they have long been familiar with each other. I don't have any foundation in the house, so when I came, I entered the house of the prince, and you ...... Without parents and brothers, and without identities, they look down on us. ”
Cersei stood up and patted her: "We are alone now, it is better to follow them, not only so that Mama can not make mistakes, but also boost their arrogance." Don't forget, this is the courtyard of the prince, and the lady can't tolerate the chaos in the courtyard. If you quarrel with them, you may be kicked out one day, and it will make them happy. If they are proud of our tameness, and they become even worse, Madame will not tolerate them, so you can watch it. ”
Yan Cao's eyes lit up: "Cersei, you are so smart, this is called ...... What is it called! Uncle is so big, he will endure it! ”
Cersei didn't understand: "What do you mean?" ”
Yan Cao was serious: "Probably saying that those who want to be uncles must endure what others can't bear!" ”
Coaxed her: "Sister, you are so powerful, you know this!" ”
Yan Cao blushed: "I learned it all from Shizi." After thinking about it, he said sullenly: "I listened to what you said, and I will try to put up with them in the future, but I can't see her bullying you." ”
Cersei was very happy to see her listen: "I know that you are all for me, but I don't want to see you fall into their plans." Let's take our time. He coaxed Yancao a few more words, and then went.
The autumn days are high and windy, which makes people feel comfortable. Cersei walked all the way to the hall, but saw two young men standing at the door. With sharp ears, I heard a man in the hall say: "There is a mother-in-law who was inadvertently seen by the people who protect the country, and has been arrested and escorted into Dali Temple, but I am afraid that ......" The voice gradually lowered, and I couldn't hear clearly.
Approaching the door, he heard the sound of broken teacups in the hall, accompanied by angry voices: "Nothing in sight! It's strange that he has been proud of his face recently! Cersei was startled, and hurriedly handed over the flowers to the little maid, for fear of touching the mold. Before leaving, he heard the current speaker, and the man said vaguely: "Why don't we go to the road in the next few days and remind the emperor about the exile......
Knowing that he had heard something he shouldn't have heard, and wondering if the little maid would report it to the people in the house in a while, the wind was blowing under his feet, and he left the hall quickly.
The pace did not stop all the way, and the pace was fast, until I saw the courtyard gate, I was relieved and slowed down. When he looked around, he found that Lin Huaijin was walking from the opposite side from a distance, without a little guy Desheng by his side, and his expression was a little trance-like, as if he was in a trance.
This is the second time he has seen Lin Huaijin since he came to Jihui Courtyard, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on him, coating him with a layer of misty halo, and his jade-like face is buried in this halo, soft but lonely.
For some reason, Cersei didn't want to see him look like that. He should be the pride of the sky, surrounded and praised by others, freshly dressed and angry, and unbridled. Without waiting to think, her body moved first.
"Shizi." She stepped forward and saluted respectfully.
Lin Huaijin's thoughts were interrupted by her: "It's you." How is it alone here? ”
She was a little surprised, but she didn't expect him to remember her, and smiled happily: "The flowers in the house are blooming just right, so I sent some to the hall for the prince." "Under his banner, if you are discovered, you may not be punished too much.
Lin Huaijin nodded, did not speak, but did not move, as if he wanted to stand like this.
Cersei felt a little embarrassed, he didn't leave, she couldn't go, thought about it, and asked dryly: "Why is the prince here alone?" ”
Lin Huaijin didn't seem to understand, "um", and fell silent again.
The two of them stood for a while, thinking about finding some excuse to get out, when they suddenly heard Lin Huaijin ask: "Will there be parents in the world who don't love their children?" ”
Stunned: "The slave doesn't know, the slave doesn't have a family." ”
Lin Huaijin was also stunned for a moment, and laughed out loud: "I'm not asking you, I'm sorry." ”
His smile was like a spring breeze, the ice and snow melted, and the whole person became warm. Cersei had never seen him smile like this, and the last time I saw him, he was still laughing, but the smile was distant and elegant, with a sense of detachment.
Lin Huaijin returned to normal, raised his legs and walked towards the courtyard, taking a step back and following behind, reminiscing about the smile he had just now, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were also full of smiles.
After taking two steps, Lin Huaijin stopped again: "The heart is from the jade, and the person is obedient from the book." At the beginning, I gave you the name 'Sese', I hope that your heart is like a wanyan, and you will serve in the study in the future, and you will also read some books, know a few words, and the road will be better in the future. ”
Waiting in the study, the monthly rate can rise to one tael, and if you save money, she will be able to save more than ten or twenty taels when she gets married. Moreover, if she can read and write, then even if she has no family, she will not be too disliked by others in the future.
His eyes were hot.
She felt that she had seen the warmth and coldness of the world, and when she was a beggar, some people took pity on her and rewarded her with a few dollars or food, but it was only a momentary heat. No one has ever been like this, seriously thinking about her and planning for her, for no reason, just for her good.
Who wouldn't love such a beautiful boy?
In the world, will there be parents who don't love this teenager? Cersei's heart suddenly tightened.
She blinked, held back her tears, looked up at him, and smiled, "Thank you, Shizi." ”
Just as the day he gave his name.
