CHAPTER XVIII
The four mountains are standing in the fields, and the villages are near the people.
Outside the bird, the bell Lingyin Temple, the lace flowing water Wuling source.
There is an opportunity to draw the original non-pen, and what you see is not a poem.
Looking at the rice planting needle, I want to forget to return, and the cane quinoa migrates until dusk.
……
When Xu Jiaorong returned from burning incense in Lingyin Temple, it was already sunset. The sunset was shining at night, and the remnants of the clouds were spread in the sky, all of which were mixed, just like her mood at this time.
There was also a ring cake in the small bamboo basket she was carrying, she picked it up and took two bites, not only did she feel full, but she felt more hungry, and then she remembered that she had not eaten for a day, and the ring cake was already cold, oily, and greasy. She took two more bites and felt no longer hungry. She put the ring cake back in the basket and covered it with a plain cloth, but her mind was full of what the talented master of Lingyin Temple told her, she had never studied, and she couldn't understand many words, but she understood the last sentence that the master said, he said-the donor still needs to take the people in front of him.
What she is asking for is marriage.
She sighed softly and quickened her pace. If you don't return for a day, if you can't see her when Hanwen returns, you will be in a hurry.
A person suddenly popped out of the diagonal opposite, Xu Jiaorong was startled, and wanted to avoid it, but she had no choice but to walk too quickly, and she couldn't stop for a while, and the road was not spacious, so she actually planted her head towards the person.
The man scolded and said, "Oh~ Which one who doesn't have long eyes dares to hit the old ...... It turned out to be a handsome little lady! ”
This man is not clean as soon as he exits!
Xu Jiaorong had never encountered such a formation, and immediately turned pale, struggling to push him away, just wanting to escape quickly. The hand around Bisheng's waist was hugged tighter, and there was an unbearable laugh in his ears: "Does the little lady want to leave without saying a word when she bumps into someone?" How can there be such a cheap thing in this world! ”
"Let it go......" she struggled desperately, and died of shame, the basket fell to the ground, and half of the ring cake rolled out, stained with dust, and trampled into the dust by the man.
The despair in Xu Jiaorong's heart gradually expanded.
"Stop!" A shout came, but the voice was too soft, and the momentum was reduced a lot.
The man's suppressive power suddenly became much smaller, and Xu Jiaorong hurriedly pushed him away and fled to the side. In a hurry, he raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of the person who came, dressed in plain makeup, with a pleated skirt and a blooming luminous white flower on his hair bun as the only decoration, which set off the person's natural beauty.
Xu Jiaorong was slightly surprised.
She recognized her, and just an hour ago, she was kneeling beside her, praying sincerely to the Buddha and asking for a lot. Such a beautiful girl can attract attention anywhere. Xu Jiaorong thought, what could make her so concerned? When she unsigned, she followed her intentionally or unintentionally, and heard the master say to her: "In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people. Donor, your branch is the Emperor Yan. ”
She is a believer, and she has been worshipping Buddha in Lingyin Temple for a long time, so she naturally recognizes the stick. At that time, I only felt pity, but I didn't expect her to see it instead. "There is nothing bad about being born in splendor, being content with ordinary. When he walked to the poor place of the water and sat and watched the clouds rise, the master did not feel that he was free from those shackles, but he could live more peacefully in ordinary people's homes, and he had more freedom that could not be obtained. ”
obviously looked childish, but he could see it so clearly, and the pick in Xu Jiaorong's hand was pinched tighter.
……
"Yo, what a pretty little lady...... Today's Lao Tzu's luck is really good, this trip is not in vain, but it is not all beautiful girls! In front of such a beautiful woman, the man was salivating, and he didn't care about Xu Jiaorong's whereabouts.
"Presumptuous!" The person who came frowned, "In broad daylight, you dare to rob the people's daughter, is there any royal law in your eyes?" ”
The man laughed more and more arrogantly: "Wang Fa? Lao Tzu is the king's law! ”
"Yes," the visitor smiled innocently, "Then this royal law should really be repaired~"
……
"This sister, are you okay?" The girl carried a long skirt and ran over in small steps, reaching out to help Xu Jiaorong. Xu Jiaorong shrank for a moment, and subconsciously leaned back, avoiding her touch.
The girl was rejected, and she didn't feel embarrassed, but squatted down and looked at her with her chin propped up, and her eyes sparkled and declared: "Sister, I'm not a bad person. ”
She really wasn't a bad person before...... It's just too good to be obvious~ It's still not a bad guy now, it can only be said that it's a monster who is not very kind...... In this world, there are really not many people like her who have maintained their nature from the beginning to the end~
"I, I didn't mean that......" Xu Jiaorong waved her hand again and again, being looked at by the innocent girl with such fiery eyes, she felt uncomfortable, and there was still a feeling of weakness in her heart.
"I know," the girl still smiled without any guilt, and said clearly, "Daddy said, the heart of defense is indispensable, the heart of harm is indispensable, my sister and I have never known each other, and it is normal for my sister not to believe me." ”
Xu Jiaorong lowered her head with a red face. Only she knows that in front of such a young girl, she is not defensive, but just inferior.
Deep inferiority.
"Girl," the screams in her ears became weaker and weaker, Xu Jiaorong's face was still pale, she looked at the beautiful girl in front of her hesitantly, and reminded: "That person is a subordinate of the king's mansion in the east of the city." ”
The girl blinked, and Gu Zuo said to him. "My surname is Bai Suzhen, if my sister doesn't dislike it, you can call me Susu. What's my sister's name? ”
“…… I, I am Xu's Jiaorong. Xu Jiaorong answered her unconsciously.
"Oh," the girl smiled flawlessly, "can I call you Sister Xu?" ”
Xu Jiaorong hesitated and nodded.
"Sister Xu." The girl smiled like a silver bell, and her voice was melodious.
Xu Jiaorong nodded stunned, and it took a long time to react, and said hurriedly: "Miss Susu, we can't afford to mess with that person, you better let him go, don't cause unnecessary trouble." ”
Su Su pouted, dissatisfied: "But he is a bad person, bullying Sister Xu, you, and want to bully me, Daddy said, such a bad person can't be released, otherwise it will be to help the abuse and act for the tiger." So we have to teach a good lesson, so he won't bully us next time. ”
People who don't know each other are so upset for her, Xu Jiaorong is grateful and embarrassed, Wang Yuanwai was the former Qiantang magistrate, and now although he has resigned, after all, he is a hundred-legged insect, and he is not stiff when he dies. It depends on the owner to beat the dog, and his subordinates are beaten like this, if they are stabbed outside the king, they will definitely be blamed, and their ordinary people can't afford to blame them at all. But what this plain girl said is also reasonable, she can't be allowed to refute that what her father said is wrong! After thinking about it, he had to persuade weakly: "I'm fine, Miss Susu should let him go, so as not to cause another incident." ”
Su Su tilted her head sideways and thought about it for a moment, "Sister Xu wants to let this wicked person go?" ”
Xu Jiaorong hesitated for a moment and nodded yes.
Su Su smiled, her smile was very bright: "Okay, I'll listen to Sister Xu...... Afu Awang, stop, let him go. ”
Looking at the figure of the man crawling away in embarrassment, Xu Jiaorong hesitated a little, and asked hesitantly, "Miss Susu, why are you ......?" It's not that she spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, it's just that this good for no reason is really unsettling.
Su Su couldn't wait for the following, and blinked her eyes, "What does Sister Xu want to say?" ”
Beautiful appearance can always make it easier to gain the favor of others, and Su Su should be grateful for this innocent skin, which inadvertently gave her a little more trustworthiness. Xu Jiaorong shook her head and said perfunctorily: "It's okay." Secretly said that he was so careful, he would suspect that a little girl was plotting against him.
Su Su's eyes flashed, and her smile became even sweeter. "Where is my sister going? I'll give my sister a ride. ”
"No need, no ......" Xu Jiaorong was not very defensive, but she was a little flattered, and she was embarrassed to trouble others again, so she waved her hand and said, "Isn't Miss Su in a hurry to go home?" I'm fine, my house is outside the Qingbo Gate, west of the small bridge by the Qianwang Temple, close to here, and I will be there in a while, but you ...... Susu girl."
"Sister doesn't have to be polite to me, it's inconvenient for you to go out of a girl's house after all, I'm just doing it with my hands."
Seeing that Xu Jiaorong still looked hesitant, Su Su hurriedly took the medicine and stared at her sincerely. "If my sister goes back alone, I'm afraid I won't be able to feel at ease. Daddy said that sending the Buddha to the west, since he helped, Sister Xu's affairs, Su Su naturally had to take care of it to the end. What's more, I also happened to be going to Qingbo Gate. ”
"Miss Susu went to Qingbo Gate...... Visiting relatives? ”
"No, I am from Baijiagou, Qingcheng Mountain, Sichuan, and I have no relatives or friends in Qiantang." Su Su smiled very tactfully, unguarded.
"What did the girl come here for?" Xu Jiaorong was aroused by curiosity, the distance between Qiantang and Sichuan is not close, what does a girl's family want to do when she comes all the way?
Su Su sighed, looking at her very sincerely: "Don't hide from my sister, my ancestors were originally from Qiantang, and they avoided Sichuan because of the war in the early years, Su Su has always adhered to the wishes of his ancestors, and he yearns for Jiangnan, and now Su Su's parents are gone, Su Su wants to complete the unfinished wishes for his parents, and move to Qiantang to settle here. ”
When Xu Jiaorong heard this, she chuckled in her heart, hesitated for a moment and then opened her mouth to persuade: "Miss Susu is not appropriate like this." ”
Su Su was secretly happy in her heart, and she took the bait! The fish finally took the bait~ On his face, he looked simple and ignorant: "Sister Xu? ”
Xu Jiaorong earnestly instructed: "Not to mention that there is no decent wine shop in Qingbomen, even if there is, it is not appropriate for one of your daughters to live outside for a long time and show her face, and it will hinder your reputation if it spreads." ”
Yes, yes~ Su Su's face showed a point of helplessness at the right time, two points of confusion, three points of panic, and four points of grievance, and his voice was low. "Is that so? Sister Xu, Su Su doesn't know this. What should I do with Susu? The little girl's anxiety about the future is vividly expressed at this moment, and her watery and obedient eyes can instantly stimulate her mother's love, and Su Su easily won Xu Jiaorong.
Xu Jiaorong unconsciously put herself in the position of the eldest sister, and put Su Su in the position of an innocent girl who didn't know the world, patted her paws with concern, and soothed: "Su Su don't worry, you don't have to go to the wine shop or anything, you can live in my house directly, and everything will be talked about after you find a residence." ”
Su Su was appropriately hypocritical, and lowered her eyes embarrassedly, "Sister Xu is really a good person, but will Su Su disturb her sister too much?" Also, will my sister's family ...... "I want to stop talking."
"It's okay," Xu Jiaorong patted the back of her hand and said, "I also have a younger brother at home, there are few people and many houses, and he is idle on weekdays, so you came to come in handy and won't disturb." ”
Su Su thought for a while, then looked up and said sincerely: "Then Su Su thanked my sister." ”
The first step of the long march has finally been taken. Su Su sighed secretly, but it's a pity that the road is long and the future is not bright......
