When Mu Qing brought Yuwei back to Lingyin Temple, Mrs. Mu and several ladies were listening to Zen Master Huiming talk about Buddhism in the Zen room.

"You're doing it yourself!" Before Mu Qing left, he frowned and said to Yu Wei.

Yu Wei scolded Mu Qing in his heart, one Buddha was born, and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.

If he hadn't intervened, he might have run out of the holy mountain and let the birds fly at this time.

After Mrs. Mu had a meal at the temple, she took Yun'er and the four girls back to the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.

The two little girls were tired and put to sleep in their rooms, and the girls were eager to sneak out and play.

"No one can go out today!" At some point, two guards stood at the gate of the courtyard and stopped the little girls from going out.

"Why? Last time we came, Madame allowed us to go out to play, why did you stop us? A girl shouted.

"The eldest prince ordered, everyone waited, and they were not allowed to go out without his permission! Those who violate the order will be punished as fugitive slaves! The two guards said expressionlessly.

“……”

The girls returned in disappointment.

Yu Wei looked at the eight or nine meters high courtyard wall and silently followed back to the room.

"It's all her! I saw the eldest prince escorting her back, she must have wanted to escape. There was a shouting of spring apricots outside.

"Don't talk nonsense! Sister Awei just went to find Gongfang. Chunju retorted.

"Do you little hooves want to die? The ladies and girls are resting, and you are yelling like this? A mother-in-law scolded.

A few girls scattered.

Early the next morning, all the girls understood what it meant to be satisfied, and went home.

The eldest prince ordered everyone to return home, including Mrs. Mu, of course.

"I ran out in vain, and I didn't even have time to visit the rouge shop." Chunmei muttered, packed her things and went home.

Yuwei didn't know how Mrs. Mu and her eldest son got along, anyway, she didn't have any objections to the eldest son Mu Qing's decision.

Yuwei sat in the wind pavilion of Linxiao Courtyard, touched the jade plate given by King Qi and asked Mrs. Yu: "Godmother, how much is the ransom silver for the girl in the house?" ”

Mrs. Yu put down the honey cake in her mouth, stared at Yu Wei with wide eyes: "You girl want to redeem herself?" ”

"Well," Yu Wei pouted, "I will be a slave all my life, and I will still be a slave when I have a child in the future, and I will be a slave for generations, and there will be no more future." ”

Yu Pozi sighed: "Who said it wasn't, but what can be done?" I am alone, and I have no hope in this life. ”

"However, Ah Wei, it's still good in our house, as long as you don't make mistakes, staying in the house for the rest of your life is much better than outside, at least you don't have to worry about your livelihood, silly boy, don't think about what you have, you haven't seen people starving outside."

Yu Pozi patted Yu Wei's head, "Everything is not as big as a full meal." ”

"I know, godmother, I'm curious about how the girl redeems herself?"

"How to redeem? Naturally, the relatives in the family took the silver and ransomed it. ”

"What if I don't have relatives?" Yu Wei asked anxiously.

"If you don't have relatives, you can redeem a fart!" Yu Pozi rolled her eyes.

"Didn't you earn money to redeem yourself?"

"How can a slave have silver? Even if there is, the silver was given by the master. Yu Pozi nodded to the door of the whisper: "Don't think that the master will reward you with a little something, you will think crookedly, those rewards, if you redeem yourself, you will definitely stay in the house without landing, only if the master agrees, you can take it away." ”

I see.

Alas! She really paid attention to the rewards.

In a flash, summer goes to autumn, and it seems that the Golden Autumn Festival is approaching again.

The palace recently invited a female official in the palace to teach a few older girls to learn the rules of the palace.

"In our house, the eldest girl Muyan is the most dignified and beautiful, and she must be a mother in the future." Mama Li whispered to Yu Wei: "It is said that since the Son of Heaven ascended the throne, he has kept filial piety for the emperor for three years. There are many officials in the capital who have daughters of school age in their families who have to participate in the selection. ”

Emperor? It must be the person she once fell in love with in Sister Yuewei's mouth.

Yu Wei sneered in his heart.

Since ancient times, kings have been lucky, what is the good thing about entering the palace? It's nothing more than jumping into a bigger fire pit.

Of course, none of this is her business, she has recently been addicted to condensing flower dew, and she is bound to leap over the ten-meter-high wall of this mansion.

It's been more than two months, and more than a dozen guards arranged by the eldest prince have been patrolling inside and outside the mansion in shifts, especially taking care of Linxiao Courtyard.

"Brother Xia, it's you patrolling again today." Yu smiled as she looked at one of the several guards passing by outside the courtyard. The man was seventeen or eighteen years old, the most handsome, and he was also very shy, and as long as he greeted him in a whisper, he blushed.

"Ah, yes, it's Yuwei girl," Xia Yu scratched the back of his head, blushed and said, "Brother Wang asked for leave today, and I will take his class~"

"Brother Xia, I have some fruit here for you to taste." Yuwei handed him the small basket in his hand.

"No, no, sister, you can spare us, I picked up a few pomegranates from you that day, and the eldest prince fined us one person and ten military sticks."

The small guard took a few steps back, as if Yu Wei was holding a poisonous snake and beast in his hand.

“……”

Well, the eldest prince is disciplined and does not take a stitch from the masses.

Yu returned to the courtyard and put the basket of fruit in the kitchen.

For now, I still have to practice the power of the flower spirit, and then I have to run away over the courtyard wall.

The lotus leaves in the lake gradually withered and grew old, and Mu Fei took a few people to row two small boats to pick lotus roots in the lake early in the morning.

"Yuwei, these lotus roots are for you." Mu Fei rowed a small boat to the shore of the willow tree, and shouted at a few girls who were standing in the wind pavilion watching the excitement.

Chunju happily picked up the lotus root that Mu Fei threw on the shore, and didn't care about getting his hands full of muddy water.

Mu Fei jumped ashore and pulled the cable and tied it to the tree.

"Yuwei, there are still some fish and shrimp on the boat, you take them and make them, and my eldest brother will come over for dinner at noon today."

Yu Weiyan frowned.

I want to come over for dinner again, and I really regard the courtyard of his sister-in-law in Linxiao Courtyard as a state guesthouse for his guests.

Since Mu Fei once asked her to make a meal of fish, Mu Fei asked someone to catch fish and threw it to Yuwei every now and then, and then left after eating.

Another time, I directly called his eldest brother to come over and eat together.

No, now I'm just calling myself a cook.

Yuwei asked Chunmei Chunju to carry the fish and shrimp basket and go into the kitchen to clean up.

The kitchen picked up some beef and a chicken this morning, and some vegetables. With the addition of these fish and shrimp, it should be able to make a hearty table.

The big fish is deboned, peeled and chopped into minced meat, mixed with egg white, and squeezed into snow-white fish balls that float in a basin for later use.

The rest of the fish and shrimp are made into a sweet and sour braised and a steamed minced garlic.

A few sections of crystal white lotus root are peeled, stuffed into glutinous rice, sprinkled with osmanthus flowers and steamed in a pot, and after eight are ripe, honey is added and boiled to make honey. Juice osmanthus lotus root.

Take a part of the beef and chop it into minced meat, add soy sauce, eggs, green onions and ginger and stir it into a paste, and fry about a dozen small meatloaf the size of eggs in an oil pan.

The remaining little minced beef is sandwiched in the sliced lotus root, sticks the batter and puts it in the oil pan to fry it into a fragrant lotus root clip.

Let's make a braised chicken dish, anyway, there are some mushrooms in the kitchen that I picked two days ago.
