For the next few days, we stayed in the mourning hall and enshrined the spiritual seat of enlightenment.

During the day, there will be many guests who come to mourn, and naturally they are all big names in Shu, all of whom are received by Yan Qingchen and Mrs. Yan, and sometimes, under the traction of Aunt Hong, I will also meet with some people.

At night, sometimes I will also keep a vigil, but because of physical reasons, I will still be driven back to the house to rest by Pei Yuanxiu's rare black face.

Most of the time, only Yan Qinghan will always be on guard in the mourning hall at night, and the chief housekeeper Li Guo will also be there to deal with some things.

And just like that, time passed in a hurry.

Early this morning, when I first arrived at the mourning hall, I saw that Li Guo and Aunt Hong had already commanded those attendants and maids to be busy inside and out, and a group of guests came to mourn.

And as soon as I went out, I saw Tie Yu Mountain sitting on the side.

As soon as he saw me, he immediately stood up and saluted me in a proper manner: "Miss." ”

"Uncle Tie, you're here too."

"Yes." He nodded and replied, and looked at me again, with a bit of appreciation and joy in his eyes: "I heard that the eldest lady made several dispatches in Nian Baoyu, and she repelled the 200,000 troops of the Eastern Chahe Division. Miss, what a hero! ”

I laughed a little and said, "Uncle Tie is here to read today?" What heroes are not heroes. ”

He was also a little embarrassed by me, but when he raised his head to look at me, he still said very seriously: "Lao Tie is really happy." If Mrs. Quanxia knows and knows what the eldest lady has done, she will be very pleased. ”

When I heard him mention my mother, my smile couldn't help but froze.

I suddenly felt a chill in my chest.

Tie Yushan also immediately sensed my strangeness, and said softly: "Miss, what's wrong?" ”

"Uncle Iron, my mother, she-"

I didn't finish my words, but I stopped, looked around, but it was full of friends, Li Guo and Aunt Hong were also entertaining in an orderly manner, Yan Qinghan was still kneeling in front of the spirit as before, and slowly added oil to the lantern.

It seems that no one notices our side at all.

I thought about it for a moment and said, "It's nothing." ”

Tie Yushan glanced at me, but didn't ask much, only nodded slightly, and sat back down.

A busy morning passed quickly, and when it was noon, Aunt Hong saw that my face was not very good, so she specially asked the small kitchen to deliver the meal to my house, and after the meal, I did not go back to the mourning hall, but rested in the house for an afternoon.

When it was almost time to hand over, I walked out of the room.

Pei Yuanxiu stayed by my side and said softly, "Do you want to eat something?" ”

I shook my head: "It's just a little boring, I want to go out for a walk." ”

"Get out?"

"Hmm. These days are in the Yan family, worshipping the mourning hall during the day, and at home at night, which is a bit boring. ”

He looked at me as if he was a little surprised, but immediately smiled and said, "Actually, you should just walk around, look at your face, how pale." ”

As he spoke, he twisted my jaw with his hand.

I immediately smiled and reached out and slapped his hand away.

At this time, Li'er also ran out, took the corner of my clothes, and pulled Pei Yuanxiu's sleeve again: "Mother, Daddy, I will go out with you." ”

I asked, "You know what we're going out for, and you're going to follow along?" ”

She blinked her eyes wide, and said pitifully, "You must have gone out to eat something delicious." I can only eat green vegetables and radishes every day, and I am about to become a rabbit. ”

When Pei Yuanxiu and I heard this, we both laughed.

These days to worship the spiritual position of enlightenment, naturally the entire Yan family is fasting and vegetarian, others are okay, but Li'er is too young, and it is a little too light for her. So I glanced at Pei Yuanxiu: "You have to bring enough silver." ”

Pei Yuanxiu looked at me: "You really want to take her out-"

I smiled faintly and said, "Even Fearless Eating Meat and Drinking Wine, Master Enlightenment can tolerate it, let alone such a little girl?" Although he made up the Mahayana scriptures, he was still a Hinayana person. The ones outside are the three pure meats, which Li'er can eat. ”

Pei Yuanxiu nodded: "Okay." ”

As soon as we walked out of the gate, we saw a few people coming out of the side door on the opposite side, but it was Liu Qinghan and Wen Fengxi, and there were a few people behind them, but they were obviously the guards of the Yan family.

As soon as he saw them, Li'er immediately shouted loudly: "Third uncle, third uncle!" ”

While shouting, he ran over happily.

Liu Qinghan didn't seem to expect to meet us here, he was stunned for a moment, and when Li'er ran in front of him, he slowly showed a little smile: "Li'er." ”

"Third uncle, where are you going?"

"Me, we want to go out for a walk."

"Really? It just so happened that my mother and I, as well as my father, were going out for a walk. Shall we be together all right? ”

Liu Qinghan listened, raised his head, and Pei Yuanxiu and I had already walked over.

Liu Qinghan and Wen Fengxi are not from the Yan family, but they are strictly guarded by Mrs. Yan, so they will naturally not let them come to the mourning hall to "make trouble", so this is the first time we have met in these days.

I looked at the cold mask on his face and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, what are you busy with?" ”

He smiled faintly: "Idle." ”

"I thought that Lord Liu and Yan Qinghan, you would have a lot to say."

"Yes, indeed."

“……”

"However, it was a few years ago, and there will be a time to finish."

"Oh......"

His attitude, and his expression, were almost completely different from before.

Neither lukewarm, neither near nor far.

No matter how much I wanted to see something in his eyes, I only felt at a loss.

But-in fact, his words reminded me that even if Yan Qinghan wanted to tell him some past events, it was only between them a few years ago, and as for me and him, only me and him knew about it.

Thinking of this, I lowered my eyelashes lightly.

Pei Yuanxiu asked at this time: "Lord Liu, this is-"

"Feng Xi and I want to walk around Chengdu and see the scenery here, but—" He glanced at the people behind him and smiled silently. I said to the people, "Master Liu will go out with us, you can stand down." ”

The men looked at each other, answered, and retreated.

A few of us simply went together, and we were about to go out, when we heard a gong-like voice next to us, and it was a fearless monk striding over: "Miss, you want to go out, don't you bring the Sprinkle family?" ”

I laughed at him.

We just went out like this, and we didn't set a car, but walking on the street was still a little eye-catching, especially Pei Yuanxiu and Wen Fengxi, who were personable jade-faced boys, which attracted those big girls and little daughters-in-law to stop and peek, and even on the upstairs on both sides, there were a lot of bamboo poles that fell. And the mysterious mask on Liu Qinghan's face attracted many people to look sideways. A few of us are calm, but Li'er is ignorant, leading Liu Qinghan around, pointing to this and seeing that and smelling it, shouting that everyone has a headache.

In the end, it was Pei Yuanxiu who bought her a string of sugar gourds to stop this girl's mouth.

After walking for a while, everyone was a little tired, just saw a restaurant in front of them, decorated very magnificently, just walked to the door and smelled a clear aroma of wine, the shopkeeper hurriedly walked down, and said enthusiastically to us: "A few distinguished guests, please inside!" ”

I smiled and said, "Let's go in and sit down and have something to eat." ”

Everyone nodded, and followed the shopkeeper in, went up to the second floor, and found a quiet place by the window, everyone sat down, and let some refreshments drink first.

I leaned against the window, looked at the bustling flow of people on the street below, and said softly, "Chengdu has really changed a lot compared to when I left in the past." ”

Pei Yuanxiu smiled: "Compared with when you were a child, what's the difference?" ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "It turns out that this building is not so high. ”

When the people around heard this, they all laughed.

At this time, I saw the water sign hanging on the wall again, this restaurant is complete, and the famous good dishes in Shu are written on the brand, but I called the shop Xiaoer, or just ordered a table of vegetarian dishes, the only one to order a cup of boiling water cabbage for Li'er, it is also faint, Liu Qinghan They probably also know that I still care about enlightenment, but they didn't say anything.

However, although I ordered Zhai dishes, they were also very delicate dishes, especially the boiling water cabbage, which was the most labor-intensive and time-consuming.

Liu Qinghan said on the side: "It seems that I want to thank Mrs. for her hospitality today." ”

Pei Yuanxiu smiled: "It's not me who spends the money. ”

Everyone laughed.

These days, because of the previous war, and then there was a matter of occupying the truth and enlightenment, everyone was very dull, and now there is finally a little laughter, but it makes everyone's face a little more angry, I feel that the chest is not so stuffy, but it is hot, so I used a small handkerchief to gently fan the wind to myself, and said with a smile: "Actually, the things in the restaurant, but coaxing the mouth, I do remember that there are some small alleys that hide a lot of delicious things, but they are not locals, but they can't find them." ”

"Oh? What are some of them? ”

"I remember that there was a shop selling tofu brains at the city gate, and it tasted very good. But you can't eat it. ”

"Why?"

"Because that tofu brain is not sweet, nor salty, but spicy."

Pei Yuanxiu is from the north, and Liu Qinghan is from the south in the past, and they have probably only eaten salty and sweet tofu brains, and the first time they heard that there is a spicy taste, they were all surprised. I continued: "There is another shop that buys pine nut candy, not far from here, the boss is a blind man, he makes a few catties every night, puts it out to sell during the day, and closes the store when it is sold out, and never does more." Many people want to eat but can't buy it, so they have to go to the queue the next morning. I don't know if there's anything else going on. ”

Pei Yuan said: "If there is one, I'll find out if I'll see it later." ”

I thought about it for a while, and suddenly said, "Anyway, it's not served yet, I'll take a look." ”

When he heard this, he was stunned: "Qingying, are you going now?" ”

"It's not far from here, I'll check it out and I'll come back. Let's have some tea first. I stood up as I spoke, and said to the fearless monk with a smile: "Uncle Fearless, you can go with me, didn't you often take me there to play when I was a child?" ”

He was stunned for a moment, and immediately got up: "Yes, eldest miss." ”

I patted Li'er on the head, promised her to bring her something delicious back in a while, and went down to the restaurant with the intrepid monk.

As soon as he walked out of the door of the restaurant, the fearless monk said strangely: "Miss, what's wrong?" Why do you suddenly want to come out and buy candy? ”

I smiled, "Of course I fooled them." ”

"Oh?"

When the fearless monk heard this, he immediately raised his head and looked at the above, fortunately, the people above only cared about drinking tea and chatting, no one paid attention to us, and I didn't say anything more, and directly took the fearless monk around the street in front, and the people around were coming and going, and the narrower the place, the more difficult it was to walk, and the fearless monk almost bumped into people several times.

Eventually, I took him into a small alley.

This is a small alley with a back street, there are usually no people in it, and there are several families on the top of the alley who stretch out bamboo poles and put them on the opposite earthen wall to dry their quilts and clothes.

The fearless monk became more and more strange: "Miss, what are you doing here with the Sprinkle family?" ”

I glanced back, lowered my voice and said to the fearless monk: "Uncle Fearless, you help me stop the people behind me and beat them up!" ”

When the fearless monk heard this, his eyes immediately lit up: "The eldest lady also found out?" ”

"When they leave the Yan family, they have been following."

"Hmph, the Sprinkle family has long been impatient."

Looking at him clucking as he spoke, a picture of the itchy bones that hadn't been fighting for a long time, I couldn't help but laugh a little in my heart, but after thinking about it, I still advised: "Uncle Fearless, fight and fight, don't be too heavy, otherwise it will be difficult to explain when they ask you when you go back." ”

"Miss, don't worry, this matter has its own proportions!"

"Wait for me here when you're done."

"Then the eldest lady, you-"

"I'm going to go over there and do something. You just wait for me here, don't go back alone. ”

The fearless monk glanced at me, seemed to realize something immediately, and hurriedly nodded: "The Sprinkle family knows." It's just, the eldest lady went over alone? Is it okay to sprinkle the family and accompany the eldest lady? ”

"No, I don't. Don't worry, I'm familiar here. ”

After saying that, I walked towards the front, and as soon as I walked out of the alley, I heard a few screams faintly coming from the alley behind me.

I couldn't help but sneer, and as soon as I looked up, I saw a street in front of me, with people coming and going, and the traffic was bustling, and on the opposite side of the street, there was a large shop, with six doors high and wide, which looked very magnificent. Only now, the six doors were all tightly closed, except for a small door on the side, on which hung a blue curtain that was slightly lifted by the wind.

And on the pù of the shop, a flag flew in the wind, and a huge word "iron" was written on it.
