Early in the morning of the third day of the fourth lunar month, Jiang Yixi was still sleeping, and there was a knock on the courtyard door, it was Jiang Xun, and the old lady asked Jiang Xun to send Jiang Yixi to Zhuangzi.

Jiang Yi is happy, it's good to have a caring and pestering younger brother.

Today's breakfast was earlier than usual, and as soon as the two sisters and brothers finished eating, Mrs. Jiang San came over with Jiang Yirou.

Mrs. Jiang San gave Jiang Yixi twenty taels of silver, Jiang Yirou gave a piece of satin, and also sent two pieces of Luopa on behalf of Jiang Yishan.

Jiang Yixi didn't expect Jiang Yishan to give her something, and said with a smile, "Thank you for the third aunt and the fourth sister, thank you for the fifth sister on my behalf." ”

Mrs. Jiang San said, "Pay attention to safety in the countryside and take more people when you go out." If something happens, report your third uncle's name, your third uncle's military camp is there, and it can always bluff some people......"

Jiang Yixi agreed one by one.

It's still early, the old lady didn't get up, and yesterday she said she would go directly.

Jiang Yi cherished a carriage for the four masters and servants, Jiang Xun took the little servant Wangfu in a carriage, and the other two mule carts loaded things.

The car ran for more than two hours and arrived at Huzhuang at noon.

In the past and present life, Jiang Yi regretted that it was the first time to come here.

After getting out of the car, there was a second-entrance courtyard in front of me, with pink walls and tiles, hidden in a green tree and green bamboo.

Not far away is a village, surrounded by large fields and small roads. In the past of the fields in the east, there are continuous green mountains - Qingluo Mountain.

Standing here, you can faintly hear the roosters and dogs barking from the village, and the laughter of children. You can also faintly see the cornices in the woods under Qingluo Mountain, which should be Zhaoming Temple.

Uncle Wu and his two sons, Wu Yougui and Wu Youfu, were already kneeling in front of Jiang Yixi and Jiang Xun.

"The slave has seen the second girl and the second master."

Jiang Yi regretted that he didn't see Uncle Wu and Wu Youfu many times, and he saw Wu Yougui more often. Wu Yougui is only more than half a year older than Jiang Yixi, and when he was a child, Mama Wu would occasionally stay in the house for a few days.

Seeing Uncle Wu's honest smile, Jiang Yixi felt close. In her previous life, Uncle Wu seemed to have died after she became a monk, and she didn't know how she died, and she didn't know when she died. It was still said by Jiang Xun when he went to see her in the nunnery.

In his previous life, he was unlucky, and his minions were also unlucky.

Jiang Yixi smiled and said, "Uncle Wu, there is a rich brother, there is a noble brother, get up." ”

Jiang Xun also rewarded each of them with a purse containing silver bills, "Serve my sister well in the future." ”

Uncle Wu smiled and said, "It should be." After looking at Jiang Yixi and Jiang Xun, he said with red eyes, "The longer the second girl looks, the more she looks like the second lady, and the second master looks more and more like the second master." ”

Jiang Xun touched his face and smiled, "Yes, they all said so." also said that my sister is the most handsome little lady, and I am the most handsome descendant. ”

Jiang Yixi smiled and said "thick skin" and pulled him into the yard.

Zhuangzi is quite large, in addition to the inverted seat, there are also east and west wings. Uncle Wu's family lives in the West Wing, and the kitchen, firewood room, and warehouse are inverted. The second entered the master's house, and they were locked up when they didn't come. There are five upper rooms and three east and west wings.

The house was rudimentary, but spotlessly clean.

Tidying up the house and cooking are done by Aunt He, the daughter-in-law of the tenant farmer, who is one of the most neat peasant women in the village, and Aunt He's daughter, He Erniang, is still Wu Youfu's fiancée and will get married next year.

Jiang Yi regretted living in the landlord's house. Shui Xiang and Shui Ling hurriedly spread the master's bedding and hung up the gauze tent.

Jiang Xun inspected the courtyard and the inside and outside of the house, and nodded his head to express satisfaction.

After eating, Jiang Xun was about to return to Beijing.

"Sister, I came here on the ninth night of the first month to stay in Zhuangzi for a night."

"Okay, I'll prepare the marinated large intestine for my brother again." Jiang Yixi agreed happily, and said, "I want to copy the scriptures for my father and mother for a month first, and you lend me the pendant left by my father to wear it for a while." ”

Jiang Xun took off a pendant from his neck, a red rope, on which hung a dark yellow tiger head the size of an adult's thumb.

This small pendant was passed on by Jiang Chen's great-grandfather directly over his son, grandson, and eldest great-grandson to his second grandson Jiang Chen, and Jiang Chen has always worn it on his body. Before he died, he took it down and asked Meng Cimo to take it back to the capital and hand it over to Jiang Xun. I heard that Uncle Jiang was very unhappy when he learned that Jiang Chen passed it on to Jiang Xun before he died. But this thing passed through Meng Cimo's hands, and he couldn't force it to come over.

Jiang Xun said, "When Meng Shizi handed me this pendant, he said that my father asked me to keep it and protect my sister." But I couldn't help but let my sister come here. ”

Jiang Yixi took the pendant and said, "It's not a bad thing to come to Zhuangzi, my brother has done a good job." ”

Looking at the carriage that was gradually moving away, Jiang Yixi touched the little tiger's head through his clothes. In his previous life, before his brother died, he asked people to bring her a pendant, and because of this pendant, Shen Lao Divine Doctor really taught him. In this life, I have to make up a set of rhetoric based on this thing.

Jiang Xun's words made Wu Bo listen to it. His eyes were red, the second master was really a good person, and when he died, he was the most relieved girl.

Jiang Yixi walked in the courtyard. The inner courtyard is quite large, but there are only two trees, and it looks empty and monotonous.

Uncle Wu smiled embarrassedly, "The slave didn't expect the girl to come here to live for a long time, it's too simple." ”

Jiang Yixi smiled, "Go to the town to buy more flower seeds, and buy two begonia saplings and banana saplings, I like flowers." Oh, and buy more seasonal flower seeds, which are cheap and easy to take care of. Then he asked, "How far are we from Windwind?" ”

Uncle Wu said with a smile, "It's not far, it's only six miles away, and it takes more than two quarters of an hour to get there." ”

After returning to the house, Jiang Yixi finished his hands and carefully copied the scriptures.

Her heart is extremely religious, she writes very slowly, and her writing is unconventional.

Being able to be reborn and being able to correct her mistakes is one in ten thousand, but she has met it with good fate.

How rare.

The next morning, Jiang Yixi took Mama Wu, Shui Ling, and Wu Yougui to Zhaoming Nunnery to burn incense.

Jiang Yixi and Mama Wu told Shui Ling more than once not to cause trouble, not to talk a lot, and not to fight. If she doesn't listen, don't let her go, let her go back to the big kitchen to light the fire.

The water spirit was so frightened that he swore to curse and be obedient.

Wu Bo also asked Jiang Yixi to take a mule cart, and Jiang Yixi wanted to go by himself and see the surrounding scenery.

She is not a young lady in the boudoir.

She was wearing half-worn clothes, and her hat was pressed low, so she could see that she was from a wealthy background, and she couldn't imagine that she was a girl from the Bofu family.

Mama Wu and Shui Ling walked on either side of her, and followed Wu Yougui a few steps behind.

The path was bumpy, with ears of wheat fragrant on both sides, and the peasants in the fields stood up to look at them. There are people who know Wu Yougui, and they also greeted loudly, "Little Steward Wu." ”

Wu Yougui also smiled back and said hello with a loud voice.

It took more than a quarter of an hour to arrive at Zhaomeian.

Zhaoming Nunnery is very large, a queen of the former dynasty was demoted to a concubine and became a monk here, and her son became the emperor and expanded this place like this. Many of the female relatives of the official eunuchs in the capital often come here to burn incense, and there are especially many who ask for a son to seek marriage, and I heard that the queen mother also came to pray for blessings more than 20 years ago. The incense inside is very prosperous, and the scenery is quiet.
