"Your parents are affectionate, your mother loves her daughter, and your father has a promise, so you don't blame them." The Queen Mother sighed.

Huo Sijin gave a deep salute and said softly: "The courtiers don't blame their parents, on the contrary, the courtiers also want to thank their parents, the courtiers live in the nunnery, live in a shallow way, you can not be troubled by mundane things, concentrate on learning Buddhism, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, cooking and knitting, and now the courtiers are back, and they can finally bear the joy of their knees, but it's a pity that the mother ......" Huo Sijin said this, tears in his eyes.

The Queen Mother asked, "Your father took you back, thinking that he was going to marry you." ”

Huo Sijin nodded tearfully.

The Queen Mother picked up a piece of conch cake and looked at it, and sighed: "Since I came back to talk about marriage, I still don't want to be in the temple all the time." ”

The squatter room could hear the needle dropping, Huo Si knelt down again, her face was snow-white, the corners of her mouth moved, and she still didn't say anything after all.

The Queen Mother said to the abbot again: "Whether it is a conch or a lotus seat, these are all holy things, not all sentient beings can consume them, just worship the Buddha, don't use them as snacks." ”

The abbot master clasped his hands together and proclaimed the Buddha's name, and the Queen Mother stood up and beckoned to Huo Sijin: "Come, help the mourning family to go to the bamboo forest for a walk." ”

Huo Sijin was stunned for a moment, hesitated to stand up, probably kneeling for a long time, her feet were weak, and she almost fell.

The Queen Mother glanced at her, put her hand on her arm, and the others followed behind them, walking towards the bamboo forest.

A hundred years ago in Yongji Temple, the Juehui Zen Master of Yongji Temple sat in the purple bamboo forest, and the Dharma body did not rot for a hundred years, and it is still enshrined in the Master Hall of the purple bamboo forest.

The purple bamboo forest is the holy place of Yongji Temple, only the queen mother can not enter, the bamboo forest that the queen mother said is not the purple bamboo forest, but the bamboo forest outside the purple bamboo forest, the original ninety-nine bamboos of the bamboo forest are planted by Master Juehui himself, every time the queen mother comes to Yongji Temple, she will go to the bamboo forest to walk.

Huo Sijin was worried in her heart, she was too unruly.

No wonder it is said that a companion is like a tiger, when the Queen Mother asked her about her in the nunnery, she could feel the Queen Mother's love, but then, everything changed.

The Queen Mother not only refused to let her come to Yongji Temple again, but even said that her dim sum was disrespectful to the Buddha.

Now the Queen Mother asked her to accompany her to the Fazhu Forest, whether she wanted to promote her or give her father face.

What does the Queen Mother think of her?

She secretly went to see the Queen Mother, and when she saw that the corners of the Queen Mother's lips were pursed and her expression was serious, she hurriedly lowered her head.

The accompanying eunuchs and palace maids did not dare to approach, and they were all ten steps away.

There is no wind today, there is silence in the bamboo forest, and the atmosphere is even more depressing.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound, not the wind blowing the bamboo leaves, it was the sound of the robe rubbing the bamboo branches.

The voice was not loud, and the eunuchs and palace maids who were following from a distance did not hear it, but the queen mother and Huo Sijin heard it clearly.

The Queen Mother's brows moved slightly, and she was about to open her mouth to ask, when a child jumped out from behind the bamboo.

may have been too violent, her steps were not stopped, the whole person stumbled, and hugged a bamboo tree at the right time, so that she did not fall.

He jumped out violently, startling everyone, and when it was clear that it was a white and chubby child, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps behind him, and the guards ran in this direction, Huo Sijin gritted his teeth, pointed at the child and said angrily: "Where is the child, what are you doing here?" ”

The child looked her up and down, and grimaced at her: "You are not much older than me, why do you call me a child, the Queen Mother, are you right?" ”

This sound of the Queen Mother's mother-in-law shocked everyone, and originally thought that the child brought by a pilgrim ran over by mistake, but I didn't expect it to be not at all!

The Queen Mother raised her hand, the guards stopped behind her, and the Queen Mother asked in a deep voice: "Who asked you to come, your lord?" ”

The child learned to give a salute to the Queen Mother like an adult, and then showed a big smile: "Mother-in-law of the Queen Mother, my father and mother have gone to the fairy, and my sister has not yet left the cabinet, so only the grass people in our family can come to see the Queen Mother." No one asked the grass people to come, and when the grass people came, they told their grandmother that they were going to buy candy at the Miaowei Pavilion, but they didn't know that the grass people had come to Yongji Temple. ”

The Queen Mother was secretly surprised, this child was only a teenager, listening to him, he was obviously not a child of an official eunuch, but he spoke calmly and generously, and was not afraid, but this Queen Mother's mother-in-law made people cry and laugh.

"You call the Empress Dowager mother-in-law?" The Queen Mother asked.

"Yes, you are the Queen Mother, and you are your mother-in-law, aren't you the Queen Mother's mother-in-law?" The child blinked curiously, his eyes wide, and his long eyelashes flickered like two rows of small fans.

"Hahaha." The Queen Mother suddenly laughed, mother-in-law? The child from the south, there is no such name in the north, although the child speaks the official dialect, but it is soft, like the accent of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

"You're from Jiangnan, what's your surname?" The Queen Mother asked.

"Caomin is a native of Hangzhou, Zhejiang, with the surname Huo, and our family is surnamed Huo." The child replied crisply.

"Surname Huo?" The Queen Mother couldn't help but look at Huo Sijin.

Huo Sijin hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, the courtiers have no relatives in Hangzhou. ”

The Queen Mother looked at Huo Roufeng again: "Do you know that you are shocking and a big crime?" ”

Huo Roufeng flattened his mouth: "The grass people know, and the grass people don't want to be shocked, but the grass people don't stand firm." ”

Blamed the surprise on his lack of foothold? What a child.

The children of the palace and the Xungui family are already like adults, but this child is innocent, this kind of innocence cannot be pretended, this is in the bones.

The Queen Mother asked: "What is the matter with you risking death to see the mourning family?" ”

Huo Roufeng pouted aggrievedly: "The grass people are from the Huo family in Hangzhou, ranking ninth, and the grass people only came to the capital this month to reunite with their sister, but as soon as they arrived in the capital, the big shopkeeper of the grass people family was arrested by the government." ”

Hearing this, Huo Sijin breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, it turned out that he was a sue to the emperor, but the queen mother was not the emperor, and she had long since stopped asking about political affairs, not to mention such trivial matters.

The Queen Mother's gaze was even deeper, and she remembered something.

"The Huo family of the Yongfeng?" The Queen Mother asked.

Huo Roufeng nodded, her voice was not slow or slow: "Mother-in-law, the plum wine of the grass people is delicious, the grass people wanted to learn from adults to drink when they were young, but they were so spicy that they cried, so my father asked people to make wine with fresh fruits, plum wine, pear wine, bayberry wine, wine, the best to drink is pineapple wine, pineapples from the south, the wine made is the best." ”

"The plum wine was brewed for me by my father, and it is not poisonous, it is really not poisonous. Wow-" Huo Roufeng said this, and cried out with a wow.

Huo Sijin was taken aback, she couldn't imagine that someone would run to the Queen Mother and cry?

And he is also the child of a merchant's family.
