Zhenzhu was full of prestige, but there was a slight hint of surprise in her eyes, but she didn't expect that the ten-year-old Miss He in front of her would not show any timidity in the face of her own criticism. She looked carefully and found that although this girl was so pale that there was no blood because she had just escaped death, she had a different kind of bearing and charm.

That's right, even Zhenzhu herself was taken aback, and couldn't help but use the word "charm" to describe a little girl, but this was Miss He's first impression of herself - the word "beautiful" is no longer enough to cover her as a person, and her aura has overwhelmed her appearance! Zhenzhu secretly said in her heart, such an extraordinary little girl, if it takes time......

He Angelica suddenly smiled crisply, the taste made people feel like Leng Yue Linjiang, and said, "Senior Sister Zhenzhu, did you come to Xingshi to ask about the crime?" ”

Zhenzhu smiled: "I regard Zhenjing as my sister, and I am very concerned about it. But just now I heard the meaning of Miss He's words, not only to let Zhenjing break her vows to eat meat, but also to abduct her out of the Taoist temple. Therefore, I originally came to ask about Miss He's physical condition, but now I have to ask about the crime by the way. ”

He Angelica blinked, "Senior Sister Zhenzhu, you are really serious, the precepts of seven meat and eight hateful are cloudy, and those who believe in Buddhism are much more relaxed than those who believe in Buddhism." In Guiguan, sour cheese, eggs, shrimp skin, small dried fish, and those with silver can be eaten casually, every day. Saying that, he couldn't help but smile, "When I went out yesterday, I also found a lot of traps near the Taoist temple to catch prey, and I caught pheasants and hares. What's more, Zhenjing is not really a monk who is dedicated to the Tao, but because her parents owe rent for a few acres of land, she was sent here to do small work. Senior Sister Zhenzhu, I don't love Zhenjing and treat her as a younger sister, so I want to take her out of the fire pit and live a better life. ”

Zhenjing was choked by the saliva from the chicken soup, and now she couldn't help coughing when she heard it, and said unconvinced: "Hey, Xiaoyi, it's clear that I'm better than you, should I be my sister......"

Listening to He Angelica's speech is so clever, and he speaks like a pearl falling on a silver plate, Zhenzhu is very curious in his heart, and also has some funny meaning, and unconsciously there is no meaning of "asking guilt". After all, even she herself often boils eggs and boils hot milk. son, add food to the skinny Zhenjing, now that I think about it, she is also "the eldest brother Mo Xiao and the second brother".

However, he intended to try the other party's confidence a little, so Zhenzhu tried to keep a straight face and said: "Those eggs and shrimp skin are not meat after all, but chicken is real meat, and one bite can break the big commandment, how can I watch my junior sister fall into the quagmire of the red world again from the empty door that has no dispute with the world?" Miss He, you said that you were going to take your junior sister out of the fire pit, but I said that those places outside the temple are the sea of fire! ”

He Angelica tilted his head, shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's weird!" Could it be that those eggs you eat will not hatch chicks in a few days, and the shrimp skin will not grow into prawns in a few days? Could it be that a single mountain gate can distinguish between tranquility and filth? Is it true that depending on whether a person's character is high or low, it only depends on what food she usually eats, how many times she worships the statue of the Yuan Shi Tianzun in the past few days, or how many "Tao Te Ching Guang Shengyi" can be recited? ”

A little girl with good interests, this time, Zhenzhu can't teach people a lesson, but just said in a fair manner: "Xiaozhen has no city mansion, innocent, if you walk out of this mountain gate, you may not be deceived or even trafficked." ”

Zhenjing waved her hand again and again: "Huh?!" I'm not stupid, I won't......" It's just that poor her was once again completely ignored.

He Angelica smiled slightly, calmly looking into Zhenzhu's eyes: "I will protect her until she can protect herself, until a man who is willing to protect her appears." Zhenjing's face turned red when she heard this, and her round eyes looked left and right, very uncomfortable. Hey, hey, how did a bowl of chicken soup spark, and in the end, it was discussed to this extent......

- Actually, He Angelica asked Zhenjing last night, asked her if she would like to go back to the Luo family with her, and told her that she didn't need to sign any deed of sale with the Luo family, just be her own personal maid, and be the same as her sisters in private.

And Zhenjing herself, she loved, admired and admired He Angelica early on, and that kind of closeness felt like a fit, even to her own father and mother. As soon as I heard that I could leave the Taoist temple and follow He Angelica to see the outside world, my heart was very excited. But she immediately thought that she was "seized" because of rent arrears, and the master would not let her leave in the first place, so her heart fell from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley in an instant.

However, after Zhenjing explained the reason sullenly, He Angelica did not show a sad face because of this, but said mildly, she just asked Zhenjing if she was willing to leave. As for the way to take Zhenjing away, although she hasn't thought of it yet, and there is no money to help her redeem herself, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and when the time comes, she will definitely think of a good plan to let Zhenjing walk out of the Taoist temple openly.

Zhenjing will be skeptical, although He Angelica is indeed very smart, she doesn't think that a child will have any "good plans". So I only advised He Angelica to take care of his body first, and don't worry about her. After that, He Angelica pulled his little finger with Zhenjing and said with a smile, "Then it's decided, and you will be in my charge in the future."

- At this moment, Zhenzhu suddenly had the feeling that she was looking in the mirror.

For a moment, even Zhenzhu herself was shocked, He Angelica's tone and eyes when he said "I will protect her", that kind of confident and confident attitude, and the self who ran to the gate of the county government to beat the drum and complain and make a statement in court, seemed to be the same! How could a ten-year-old girl?

"Heh, the chicken soup is cold when you speak, shall we continue to talk about this question of 'can you drink it'?" He Angelica spread his hands, "Senior Sister Zhenzhu, you are the most distressed and quiet, and she hasn't eaten for three days." ”

Zhenzhu glanced at Zhenjing and said in a low voice, "Then it's better to drink it while it's hot." Zhenjing was stunned for a moment, then looked at the bowl of chicken soup and drooled, and asked timidly: "That...... I've really drunk it, and you'll keep it a secret for me, right? Zhenzhu knocked on her head and did not forget to instruct: "You drink slowly, don't choke." ”

Zhenjing cheered, picked up the soup bowl and took a big sip, her round face was full of happiness, like a white and tender bun with enough filling. Wow! Chicken soup...... When she was young, she also drank it once, that time when her uncle married a new daughter-in-law, her mother took her to eat wedding wine, and got a big bowl of yellow and fragrant chicken soup, and her mother also fished up a chicken leg, tore off the meat on it and dipped her in soy sauce to eat.

Zhenzhu and He Angelica looked at her with a smile, and then tacitly glanced at each other, laughing out loud at the same time, and finally laughing out loud at the same time. Zhenjing's little mouth did not leave the soup bowl, and with a pair of eyes full of curiosity, she looked at this and then that.

Zhenzhu finally couldn't help but step forward, held He Angelica's hand, looked at her carefully, frowned and smiled: "In the world, there is really a woman like my sister who is beautiful in the world, and I have seen it today." In the past, listening to the opera singing, 'There are many beautiful people by the water in Huai'an, the new moon is like a beautiful woman, and the moon is flowing at the beginning; The crescent moon is like a beautiful woman, and she is colored at the beginning of the sea', and I thought it was just the imagination of a writer. Only now did I know that I had really seen a beautiful woman like my sister, and the literati and writers wrote those poems accordingly. ”

He Angelica also looked at Zhenzhu and smiled: "In the past two days, I often hear Zhenjing talking about my sister, so I have been trying to find a chance to meet my sister, and now I have finally fulfilled my wish." And at first sight, Fang knew that his sister was not an ordinary character, and it was appropriate to describe it as 'Dongshan Fair Lady, Dream Annoying King Xiang'. ”

Zhenzhu smiled and bent over: "In front of my sister, who is embarrassed to mention what they look like?" Okay, okay, you and I hit it off at first sight, no need for these red tape politeness, let's go, let's move things. As he spoke, he picked up He Angelica and walked out of the door, and said with a smile, "Although that bowl of chicken soup is mixed with a lot of boiled water, it is still too strong and tired for your cold body, and it is not suitable for you to drink." But you're not a clay statue, you have to eat. ”

He Angelica walked outside the courtyard, only to find that there was a hill-like thing piled up there, including fruits, rice bags, dry firewood, charcoal, charcoal stoves, small stoves, and some pots and spoons, lamps, candles, soap horns, and utensils, she was sincerely grateful: "Sister is really a charcoal in the snow, to tell you the truth, I am really hungry, and I just planned to eat some wild vegetables raw." ”

Zhenzhu picked up the charcoal stove and walked into the house, and said, "Just now, I was afraid that the noise would make you rest, so I asked people to unload the things in the car outside the courtyard, but now we have to move in by ourselves." There are twenty-five or six catties of rice, and more than two hundred catties of firewood and charcoal, anyway, the weather has been greatly cleared, and the firewood and charcoal will be slowly moved in two days. Take the small stove in first, put it on the bedside and simmer, your room is about to catch up with the ice cellar. ”

He Angelica obediently carried the small stove in, and Zhenzhu had already moved it for the third time, this time she brought in a red crockpot wrapped in thick cloth, and said with a smile: "We have a saying in Shandong, 'Rice soup and noodle soup are all ginseng soup for my poor', and this can of rice soup is very good for you." I heard Zhenjing say earlier that you are also a very knowledgeable doctor, and I know that you will not find it shabby, so I went to the kitchen to cook a jar on my own initiative. Come, hurry up and drink it while it's hot, you can sweat and dissipate the cold after drinking. ”

He Angelica's heart was immediately warm, I don't know how many times happier than when I got the bowl of chicken soup just now, I thanked him at the moment, took the crockpot and opened the lid, the aroma of rice juice and brown sugar juice melted together, steaming like a mist, blowing onto her cold cheeks, steaming out a pink halo. He Angelica poured out a full bowl, buried his head in drinking half a bowl, and then raised his head and smiled at Zhenjing: "Hey, when you finish drinking your bowl, you can also taste this, it will never taste worse than your bowl." ”

Zhenjing's eyes bent into a pair of crescents, nodded and said, "That's it, my senior sister's craftsmanship is simply earth-shattering, crying ghosts and gods!" She often makes leek cakes, fried gluten, small milk cakes, and braised bird eggs in the small kitchen in Master's courtyard...... Well, by the way, there was another time when I made spicy pumpkin vines and fried tofu, and put them in a crockpot, sometimes wrapped in oiled paper, and brought to me as a snack during morning class. After I ate it, I could still remember that taste for five or six days! You don't know, my mother is already the most ingenious daughter-in-law in our village, but when it comes to cooking skills, she can't compare to half of the senior sister's half and half of the eldest sister! ”

Zhenzhu moved things back and forth a few times, and said with a smile: "You little gluttonous cat, even if you are greedy, you are still a mother-in-law's mouth with broken thoughts." In the future, when you get married, you can change careers and become a matchmaker, and you will definitely be able to blow the person who proposes your relatives to the sky. I've made you snacks less than ten times, what do you mean by 'often'? Zhenjing stuck out her tongue and closed her mouth and lowered her head to drink the soup.

Zhenzhu straightened the pile of things on the bed, frowned and sighed, "Except for firewood and charcoal, all the things from the side have been brought in, but there is only one - I actually forgot that your windows here are ventilated on all sides, and the window paper and paste will not be found until tomorrow and delivered." Tonight, you will use a few benches and a few robes to set up a small screen temporarily, and then sleep all night. Don't take it too seriously, the night breeze blowing on the top of this peak when you sleep is not a joke. ”

As she spoke, she pointed to a small pile of red fruits and green pears, and said with a smile: "This morning, before my legs entered the mountain gate, Zhenjing pounced on me to 'complain', saying that those mango melons on the mourning hall were all swept away by Zhenwei and her little nies. I thought, anyway, those things are just for good looks, and they have been shipped from the south and left for many days, and they may not be eaten, and you don't have the same knowledge as them. These are the ones I bought last night when I went down the mountain to Rabbit Town, and they are so sweet. Juice, appetizing and spleen-invigorating, you drink the soup to taste one. ”

He Angelica squinted and smiled: "Sister is so considerate and thoughtful, no wonder Zhenjing always says that you are like her mother." What to do? I can't help but think about it now. ”

Zhenzhu smiled: "Your mouth is also smeared with sugar?" Having said that, Zhenjing and I both have round ball faces, and we are really a little similar, but you have a small lotus face and a pointed chin, you must have followed your mother, right? ”

He Angelica lowered his head and took a big sip of rice soup, and Fang said vaguely: "That's okay, my mother is also a ball face, and you have to fight with your sister." Zhenzhu just wanted to say, "Then you are with your father", and suddenly remembered that He Angelica's "father" was a taboo word, and quickly diverted the topic in a few sentences, talking about the new group of guests in the capital.

Fang Zi chatted for a while, and an elderly Dao Gu ran in outside, panting and said, "...... Big, senior sister, the master accompanied the guests in the West Chamber, and later the guests said that they wanted to see Miss He, and the master asked you to bring it over! ”

Guest? Those brocade guards want to see her? He Dang turned his head and thought for a while, strange, the two sides only spoke a few words yesterday, they should not even know the names of her and Zhenjing, how could they ask to see themselves so named? Taking a step back, even if they did find the person they treated, they wouldn't think of themselves all at once.

He Angelica turned his head to look at Zhenjing, and found that she was nervously puffing out her eyes and opening her mouth, like a field frog in predation, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "Why are you stunned?" It's not a big deal, if they want to see me, I'll go, and I'll ask a few words. Since they didn't ask you to go, then you can stay here and continue to drink the soup, and watch our home by the way. ”
