After He Cheng left, Lu Man said to Mama Wang, "God forbid, my mother and I are pregnant, especially my mother, how difficult it is." I want to go to Guangji Temple to burn incense and ask the Bodhisattva to bless us all to have sons. ”

Mama Wang folded her hands and recited the Buddha, and said, "The old slave also thinks the same, and the third grandmother goes to ask for it in person, sincerely." However, Guangji Temple is a little far away, and it is cold, so it is best for the third grandmother to live in the mountains for a day. ”

Lu Man nodded, asked her to take someone to pack up her things, and asked Wang Dawang and his family to go to Guangji Temple tomorrow to set up a courtyard.

After Jiang Jiu and Jiang Yue heard about it, they both wanted to go to the temple to play.

Lu Man disagreed, and said, "You can't see anything on the mountain except snow, it's not interesting." Wait until next year's spring flowers bloom, and then take you to play, and you can stay there for a few more days. After speaking, he gave Jiang Jiu a look.

Jiang Jiu saw that her sister-in-law regarded herself as an adult and let herself coax her little niece, and she was overjoyed. I thought about it again, in the winter, it's really not fun there. said to Jiang Yue, "Yes, the mountains are full of snow, and it's cold, so it's not as fun as we skate on the Qujiang River." ”

Jiang Yue listened, so she didn't continue to make trouble, and put forward the conditions, "Tomorrow I will have two meals at Sister Zhang's house, the sweet soup made by Aunt Liu is very delicious, and the sesame seeds are fragrant." I also have to go to my grandfather's house to see ducks and ducks, and let my fourth uncle weave small fish from bamboo leaves......"

Now Jiang Jiu and Jiang Yue occasionally go to Lu's house to play, and Jiang Yue likes his ducks the most.

After He Cheng entered Beijing, he went directly to Zhao's mansion and checked He's pulse, and the mother and son hid in the house and whispered. Zhao Yi knew that he had a late son (female), and he was overjoyed, and almost offered the He family.

When Lord Zhao went down to the palace to have dinner, He Chengcai took the two guards and Bai Zhi back to Yuqing Courtyard.

There are only Uncle Wu in Yuqing Courtyard, Xing'er from Donghui Courtyard, and a strange girl, Mei'er and Aunt Fu have already found an excuse to be sent away.

Xing'er did not follow her master to Qujiang Town "due to illness", and stayed to serve Liu Xirui.

That strange girl's name is Xinhe, she is a girl that Jiang Zhanwei bought in other places a few months ago, and she wanted people to be Lu Man's personal girl and guard after training, which happened to come in handy at this time.

He Cheng took the paint that Liu Xirui had been using and asked Xinhe to paint his face, neck, and hands, and then put on a veil. At first glance, she really looks like Miss Liu.

He Cheng laughed with satisfaction, and asked her to listen to Xiaoxi's arrangement and pay attention to safety.

In the middle of the night, He Cheng went to open the courtyard door and stood behind the door with Xinhe.

The "wild cat" on the courtyard wall cried twice, and a girl in a lilac dress and a veil ran out of the door diagonally opposite and quickly entered the Yuqing Courtyard, and another girl wearing the same clothes and similar body shape ran from the Yuqing Courtyard to the door diagonally opposite. Seeing that the door was closed, He Cheng also closed the door and led Miss Liu into the upper room.

When she entered the upper room, Miss Liu tore off the veil on her head, covered her mouth and cried silently. It has been more than five years since she came to Liu's Mansion, and this is the first time she has come out, and she has a feeling of escaping and ascending to heaven.

She wiped away her tears, blessed He Cheng again, and said, "Thank you Gongzi He for saving me." ”

He Cheng said with a smile, "I don't deserve the girl's thanks, and I will ask the girl to cooperate in a good show in a few days." ”

Liu Xirui said, "When it comes to my aunt, mother, and family, I should do my best." ”

He Cheng talked to Liu Xirui for a while, and then went to the east chamber to rest, and Liu Xirui and Xing'er rested in the upper room.

Early the next morning, He Cheng rode back to the camp and brought a carriage in which Xing'er, who had recovered from illness, and another girl were seated.

Not long after they left the east city gate, many horse-drawn carriages left the west city gate and ran straight to Guangji Temple.

At the beginning of noon, He Cheng returned to Jiang's house in Qujiang Town.

The carriage went directly into the front yard, Xing'er helped Liu Xirui out of the carriage, walked quickly into the hanging flower door, and walked directly to the west ear room in the upper room.

Although Liu Xirui lowered her head, she was excited when she saw the unfamiliar ground, heard the faint sound of talking outside, the barking of chickens and dogs, and the biting cold wind of freedom. Not only did she get out of the big cage, but she also left the capital and came to Sister Lu's other home.

At this time, there were no extra people in the front yard and the main courtyard, and the two children went to play outside, only Lu Man and Mama Wang were waiting in the ear room. This room is where Xing'er and Li Er usually live, and Liu Xirui will stay here for one night, and tomorrow she will go to Guangji Temple with Lu Man.

Miss Liu walked in, gave Lu Man a blessing, and said excitedly, "Sister Lu, we finally meet again, I look forward to it every day, I look forward to this day......"

Lu Man pulled her to sit down and said with a smile, "We are the same, looking forward to you coming out every day." ”

I showed her chin again, and the lump was well controlled and didn't continue to grow.

After a few people talked for a while, Lu Man and Mama Wang walked out. Xing'er plugged the door shut, and it would only open when Li Er delivered food.

He Cheng also went to the camp.

At noon, the next person came to report that the second girl and her sister were left at Zhang's house by Mrs. Zhang for dinner. Lu Man didn't care about those two children at all now, he just said that he knew.

She closed her eyes and thought about the accounts of epilepsy in sheep that she had been silent for hundreds of times......

In the evening, Jiang Zhanwei and He Cheng went home on time.

After the children slept, Liu Xirui, who was wearing a girl's clothes, was called to the upper room, and Jiang Zhanwei instructed her again.

The next day, when it was still dark, a small sedan chair and a few carriages came out of Jiang's house. Dozens of soldiers on horseback were already waiting at the gate of the courtyard, and when they saw their master come out, they followed together.

The group walked westward.

Qujiang Town is in the east-west direction of the capital, relatively close to Xishan. At about noon, the men and horses arrived at the foot of the western mountain.

Generally, people who carry sedan chairs do not dare to go up the mountain, and those who can carry sedan chairs up the mountain are used to walking on mountain roads.

The subordinates first spread a thick mattress in the small sedan chair that Lu Man was going to sit on, and then stuffed the hand stove into her hand. The sedan chair walked for more than half an hour, and finally arrived at the Guangji Temple on the mountainside.

Some subordinates went directly to the courtyard behind the temple, and Jiang Zhanwei, Lu Man and others entered the temple. They first went to incense the Bodhisattva and donated 500 taels of silver to the sesame oil to bless He and her to give birth smoothly. She also silently made a wish, that is, to ensure that tomorrow's play can go smoothly, and Father-in-law Cai will tell the truth and the ......

After that, the group went to eat fast before walking to the back of the temple.

This time, they stayed in the same ancient banyan courtyard as they lived last time. The banyan trees in the yard are still verdant, but they are not as lush as they are in spring and summer.

Entering the West House of the Upper Room, Jiang Zhanwei said to Lu Man, "Father-in-law Cai lives in the Red Maple Courtyard not far from us. After he went up the mountain, he kept copying scriptures in the house, and then asked the little eunuch to send them to the temple. My people have only seen him once, and that is when he got out of the sedan chair. ”
