Compared with the clumsy Li Youran, Ah Jiu has no difficulty walking on the mountain path, and has always been at the forefront.

"Leisurely, if you hold on a little longer, you'll be there soon."

Ah Jiu turned his head and looked at Li Youran, only to see Li Youran holding a stick in one hand and Tang Lei's support with the other, climbing up like a turtle.

"How many times have I told you that if you want to call me sister, you are not allowed to call me by my name, no big or small."

Li Youran panted, looked up at Ah Jiu breathlessly, and said in his heart that it was really strange, obviously this child was very thin, but he seemed to have infinite strength in his body.

Where like she just walked a few steps and couldn't stand it, if it weren't for the sake of face, she really wanted to sit on the ground and never get up again.

"Sister, there is a snake under your feet?"

When Li Youran heard Ah Jiu's words, he didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly broke free from Tang Lei's support with one hand, and then like clockwork, he suddenly bounced up on the spot and rushed straight towards Ah Jiu.

Tang Lei looked around, where was the shadow of the snake, and then looked at Ah Jiu, who was covering his mouth and snickering, before he reacted.

I saw that Li Youran's face was flushed, and he glanced at Ah Jiu angrily, and then walked forward with a stick on the ground, ignoring Ah Jiu.

Li Youran walked in the front in anger, and walked along the road towards the mountain, I don't know how long she walked, she found that the road was much better.

"Looking at the pavement here, there should be people who come and go often."

Li Youran said as he looked back at Ah Jiu. Ah Jiu, who had just been angry with Li Youran, was ashamed in his heart, and hurriedly followed after seeing this.

"Sister, the person who saved my mother back then, lived in this temple, and often went out to chop wood and carry water on weekdays."

Ah Jiu said as he walked forward. Li Youran looked in the direction that Ah Jiu was pointing and saw nothing.

"At the end of the road, turn left and you'll see the temple, and you'll be there very quickly."

In the night, Tang Lei saw that Ah Jiu's eyes were shining, and he thought to himself that Ah Jiu must have grown up here, otherwise how could he be so familiar with this place, and his eyes were full of expectation, presumably he had an excellent relationship with his benefactor.

It can be seen that what Ah Jiu said before was not a lie. Tang Lei analyzed and judged, while keeping up with the pace of Li Youran and Ah Jiu, and walked towards the temple.

"I didn't expect that the four princesses would even look at the leisurely shop."

As she spoke, the princess waved her hand and retreated from the palace maid standing aside, only to see the palace maid blow out the candles, leaving only a few lit candles, then retreated and closed the door.

According to the rules of the palace, even if the princess sleeps in the room, there will be many palace maids waiting on the side.

However, the crown prince and the crown princess were not used to such rules, so they changed this rule, as long as the two of them had private affairs, or when they were asleep, they would retreat from all the palace maids and eunuchs around them, and close the door.

"His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has no assets, and his only income is the monthly allowance issued by the palace."

As he spoke, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stretched out his hand to pull the Crown Princess, carefully letting him lie on the bed and continue.

"Although the monthly routine of each month is not much, it is enough for all the expenses of the Four Princes' Mansion. The Four Emperors and Princesses did this, which undoubtedly meant that the expenses on the Four Emperors' Mansion were urgent. It can be seen that the four princes secretly spent a lot of money. ”

After the prince said that he wanted to, the crown princess talked about the fact that the four princesses annexed Li Youran's shop and quietly opened a hot pot restaurant and a milk tea shop in the capital.

"Let her go, the money she earns is just used to pay for the upper and lower officials. If you want to raise soldiers and horses secretly, it is far from enough. ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks that these small actions behind the backs of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince are not to be feared, on the contrary, the Third Prince, who has been silent, is very dangerous.

Especially during this period of time, His Royal Highness the Third Prince is unusually quiet, you must know that a few days ago he secretly sent someone to the mansion to assassinate Ah Jiu, and what His Royal Highness the Third Prince did was undoubtedly covering his ears and stealing the bell.

"Although this is the truth, if she comes back leisurely and sees that the shop she worked so hard to run is being squeezed out, she will definitely be unhappy."

As she spoke, the crown princess rubbed her temples with a headache, and her heart was in great pain.

You must know that compared with Youran, she, who is a sister, knows nothing about business.

But I watched the shop run leisurely and painstakingly. was manipulated by the four princesses like this, and I really couldn't swallow this breath.

"Isn't the Li family good at business? Why don't you invest some money in them and let them do it for you. ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows the Crown Princess very well, and even if she doesn't say it, she knows that she has a headache because of something.

I saw that after the crown princess heard the prince's words, her eyes lit up, and she thought that this was really a good idea.

If the crown princess's love for Li Youran can be measured by money and money, the capital that the crown princess gave to Li Youran's brother and sister-in-law this time can be described as a huge amount of money. Under the arrangement of Li Youran's brother and sister-in-law, soon there will be a shop in the capital that can be seen everywhere in the capital overnight.

"Uncle Zhang, mother...... Ma'am. ”

After all the hardships, when he finally arrived at the temple, Ah Jiu shouted at the two people in the temple with an excited face, only to see Ah Jiu's gaze lingering on the woman for a long time.

Tang Lei felt that this woman was very strange. Looking at her figure, she is not very old, but she looks like she is in her thirties, but her face is indeed very old.

Not only that, but there were also knife marks, which were obviously disfigured, but she was wearing a veil and kept her head down, so she could only vaguely see his face, and she couldn't see his face clearly.

"I'm coming back this time to get the letter left by my mother."

Ah Jiu saw Aunt Bai and Uncle Zhang looking at Li Youran and Tang Lei vigilantly, so he hurriedly said.

I saw that after hearing Ah Jiu's words, the two of them let down their guards and greeted Li Youran and Tang Lei very warmly into the temple.

"In the mountains and wilderness, coarse tea and light rice, the two distinguished guests from the capital are afraid that they are not used to eating."

I saw the disfigured woman as she spoke, serving three bowls of hot green onion noodles, and then went to the kitchen to bring a bowl of bacon and game that had just been fried.

"This eldest sister, you are so polite, it is really rare to be able to eat such wild meat."

Li Youran was only deep in the mountains, and it was not easy to eat noodles, so it could be seen that the woman took out the food at the bottom of the box to entertain, so she responded enthusiastically.

I saw that the woman heard Li Youran call her eldest sister, and she was suddenly stunned, paused, and looked at Li Youran with a pair of clear eyes.

"I'm already an old woman, where do I deserve the title of eldest sister."

The White Lady's tone trembled slightly, since she was disfigured, somehow her skin had become faster and aged, no different from a sixty-year-old woman.

In this mountainous land, it is rare to see outsiders, and even if they see a person, they think that she is an old woman, and I don't know how long I have not heard anyone call her so.

"I'm sorry, I thought you were only in your thirties."

Li Youran said with a smile, she knew that women like outsiders to call themselves young, so she called the white lady the eldest sister according to the convention.

"Hurry up and eat, the noodles are all lumpy."

Ah Jiu's two cheeks were bulging, and he said vaguely to Li Youran.

"Aunt Bai, one bowl of noodles is not enough, I have to have two more bowls."

Ah Jiu's eyes were crooked, looking at the white lady like a crescent moon, saying that the white lady who was originally called the eldest sister by Li Youran was in a very good mood, and seeing Ah Jiu like this, he hurriedly responded with a smile, and after a while, he brought a few bowls of noodles.

"It's not early, you guys rest early after eating, and I'll take you to get the letter from Ah Jiu Niang tomorrow."

Tang Lei nodded at the white lady and did not speak. Somehow, he always felt that the relationship between Ah Jiu and Aunt Bai was not ordinary, and this Aunt Bai was very strange, and it was difficult to guess her age.

"Ah Jiu, eat this bowl of noodles from me and leisurely first, the noodles just served are a little hot."

Ah Jiu didn't think much about Tang Lei's words when he heard them, and nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

In fact, Tang Lei did not do this for Ah Jiu, but in line with the principle of being careful.

When it was time to go to bed at night, Tang Lei quietly slipped back to the room where Li Youran was and meditated directly on the table.

Li Youran, who was lying on the bed, knew that Tang Lei was not at ease here, so he did not insist on such things as not having sex with men and women, and fell asleep on the bed.

It wasn't until early the next morning, when Li Youran was woken up by the sound of chickens in the temple, that she realized that she had slept until dawn.

If she had been before, in a strange place, she would definitely not have been able to sleep so soundly.

Looking at Tang Lei, who had been meditating on the table, she thought to herself that she knew that someone was guarding her here, so she slept so soundly.

"It's dawn, would you like to rest in bed?"

Li Youran saw that Tang Lei hadn't slept all night to protect himself, and he was a little moved in his heart, so he said to Tang Lei, only to see Tang Lei shake his head.

"I've rested while meditating."

After Tang Lei finished speaking, he opened the door and left, Li Youran was curious about what the temple in the mountain looked like, and walked out.

The courtyard of the two entrances looks slightly narrow, and I saw that there was a well at the back of the courtyard, and a lot of melons, fruits and vegetables were planted next to it, which was very different from the temple in Li Youran's traditional consciousness.

However, the temple should still have the appearance, only to see the main hall enshrined a few sculptures, a few incense, it can be seen that the incense of this temple is not vigorous.

But the room was cleaned spotlessly, which shows that on weekdays, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Bai have put a lot of thought into it.

"I didn't expect the two of you to get up so early, I went to cook after cleaning."

Aunt Bai was wiping the sculpture, and seeing that Li Youran and Tang Lei had already gotten up, she hurriedly sped up.

At this time, Uncle Zhang had already fed the chickens in the yard and was chopping firewood.

Li Youran saw that the White Lady and Uncle Zhang were busy, and they had nothing to do alone, so they couldn't help but help water the vegetables in the backyard.

I saw Uncle Zhang wiping the sweat on his face with a worn towel and said to Li Youran.

"There are a lot of fruit trees planted around the temple, and the nobles can go and pick some fresh fruits to eat."

At this moment, Ah Jiu also got up, he was full of excitement to find a basket, and dragged Li leisurely towards the outside of the temple.

I saw that there were a lot of vines planted outside the temple, there were no trellises, and their vines were clinging to the trunks of other trees.

"What's going on with Aunt Bai's face?"

Ah Jiu, who was picking grapes, paused slightly after hearing Li Youran's words, and then said casually.

"I've never heard her mention it."

"That's right, after all, it's a sad thing, and you can't reveal the scars to others."

Li Youran said as he took the bunch of grapes that Ah Jiu had just picked, only to see that there was hoarfrost hanging on the grapes.

Li Youran looked at the black grapes, thinking that they must be delicious, and did not talk about this topic deeply.

Seeing this, Ah Jiu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

At breakfast, the white lady gave Li Youran a pair of very delicate and small embroidered shoes. Li Youran was startled when he saw this, and then put down the dishes and chopsticks and took the embroidered shoes.

"I saw that the shoes on your feet were all torn, so I left a mind last night, looked at the size of your shoes, and made you a pair of shoes overnight, which are a little rough, don't mind."

When the white lady saw Li Youran, she was full of joy, and she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in her heart, after all, she was in a hurry when she made these shoes last night, and there were a few details that were not handled well.

"It's the most beautiful shoe I've ever seen, it's so chic, it's so well colored, I love it."

These shoes are already beautiful, especially the white lady's heart, which makes Li Youran's heart so moved.

Suddenly, Li Youran remembered the disguise technique he learned from Dr. Feng when he was in Liaocheng before.

This time, just in case, she carried the items needed for the disguise technique. She looked at the veiled white lady, and a thought suddenly occurred in her heart.

"Sister Bai, I know that I may be a little offended by doing this, but please give me a chance."

When the white lady heard Li Youran's words, she was not only confused, but before she could react, Li Youran directly pulled her towards the guest room.

"Sister Bai, this dough can be used for three years, as long as you are careful when pasting it, ordinary people will not notice its existence."

After some busy work, Li Youran can be regarded as relieved, and she looked at the white lady in the bronze mirror with satisfaction.

"Is this really me?"

The white lady's hand trembled slightly, she gently brushed her face, looked at the bronze mirror, and looked incredible, you must know that she had not seen this face for twelve years.

"Sister Bai, there is a good saying, beauty is in the bones, not in the skin."

Hearing Li Youran's words, the white lady couldn't help shedding tears, looked back at Li Youran, and grabbed Li Youran's hand.

"Miss Li, I'm sorry, I lied to you."

The white lady said to Li leisurely with a sincere face.
