Last time they sat on one deck.

This time it was on two decks.

Now Lilac is a little dizzy and has some psychological disorders. Walking on the board, holding grandpa's hand tightly, his little body is also close to grandpa.

They lived in a small cabin on the second deck, with two small couches on the left and right, and Aya'er set up a bunk in the middle at night.

Although extremely small, it is still relatively private.

Ding Zhuang stuck his head out of the small window and beckoned to Ding Shan, "Go back."

At two o'clock, the ship set sail.

Before setting sail, it was not the whistle of the previous life, but the sound of the gong three times.

The canal is not as endless as the sea.

Today's weather is very good, the wind is beautiful, the morning sun is fiery red, and the blue waves are slightly shaking like silk.

The big boat walked very steadily and flatly, and the scenery on both sides of the river was visible, and Lilac's previous fear gradually disappeared.

Ding Zhuang saw that Lilac's little head kept looking out the window, and said, "What are you looking at, eat cherries."

Aya'er had already placed peanuts, snacks, and cherries on the small table between the couches.

Seeing the red cherries, Lilac remembered a sentence from her previous life: The streamer is easy to throw people, the red cherries are green, and the plantain is green.

At first, I thought that time passed too slowly, and I was already seven and a half years old.

Grandpa is old, my father and mother have entered middle age from their prime, the eldest brother who speaks and does not care about things has become deeper, the second brother with a runny nose went to the examination house to try, and the third brother who only knows that the third brother who eats cakes has grown into a tall and strong boy, and the Ding family has become a huge rich man from a well-off family......

The passing years, the flowers fall and bloom, and the seven years that pass in a flash take away the wind and rain of the past, and also change them.

Then I think of the stones, dead trees, small purple gourds, and honey butter incense under the Jitou Peak...... They are not eternal in the face of time.

Lilac took a cherry and put it in her mouth, and took another and stuffed it into Ding Zhuang's mouth.

Cherries are scarce and expensive, and I was willing to buy some when I had money in the past two years, and I bought them with cloves.

Ships sail during the day and dock at night to supply. Lilac and the others will go to the shore to eat something in the evening and go back to the boat to rest.

Ding Xiang knew that there must be someone arranged by Zhu Qian on the ship to protect them.

The weather was fine these days, and the big ship arrived in Henghe County on the evening of April 11.

I rented a donkey cart and went into the county seat and stayed in an inn.

At the beginning of the next day, I rented a mule cart and went to Shizhou Mansion.

At the end of the unitary time, the remnant sun was like blood, and they finally came to the gate of Shizhou Mansion.

After walking into the city for more than three quarters of an hour, he came to the third house in an alley.

Aya'er stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The door opened, and it was Mama Chai beside Mrs. Zhu.

She smiled, "The old shopkeeper and sister are here, please come in."

Seeing the familiar face, Lilac was also happy, "Mama Chai."

A girl, two men, and a middle-aged couple greeted them.

The girl also knows that she is a second-class girl next to Mrs. Zhu, called Huang Ying.

Two tall men were supposed to protect them. The middle-aged couple is in their forties, Uncle Zhang is the gatekeeper, and Aunt Zhang is the cook.

This is a two-entry house, not big, better than quiet.

They were invited straight into the upper room.

The furnishings in the house are not luxurious, but exquisite, clean and spotlessly clean.

After washing his hands and face, the meal was already on the table.

After a long journey, Lilac went to bathe and rest after eating a few bites, and Ding Zhuang continued to drink. I couldn't enjoy drinking it myself, so I called Uncle Zhang over to drink it together.

Mama Chai personally served the lilac bath.

Ding Xiang asked some about Mrs. Zhu.

Mama Chai smiled, "Madame's health is much better, and there are still a few pieces of ginseng left that I don't want to eat, saying that I want to use it at a critical time. She wanted her sister to be tight, and she wanted to go to the countryside to see her sister, but the master said to wait...... The young master hasn't decided on a marriage yet, and the lady is in a hurry, but the young master is not in a hurry at all......

When I came to the West House, the things on the bed were all money silk Song Jin from Jiangnan.

Mama Chai smiled again, "These things are madam

Let the old slave bring it, saying that the sister is delicate, even if she lives outside, she can't be wronged."

The next day, Uncle Zhang drove the car, Ding Zhuang and Ding Xiang went shopping on the street for a day, ate in the restaurant, and bought some things for Ding Lilai and his family. I also went to two studies and bought two arithmetic books for Ding Lilai.

In the evening, Lilac hurried to draw three pictures.

Tao Weng said "several", and Lilac felt that "three" was the smallest of "few", so he painted three.

The next day, I went to the street to play for another day, and before going home, Lilac bought a lot of jujubes, glutinous rice flour, rock sugar, and sesame seeds.

There are rock sugar and sesame seeds in the house, not much.

Ding Zhuang wondered, "What did Xiangxiang do when he bought so many jujubes? The jujube here is not as delicious as our Jiaodong jujube."

Ding Xiang said, "I'm going to make glutinous rice dates and send some to Master Mingyuan tomorrow."

Ding Zhuang smiled, "The child wants to play a play, Mingyuan is a master, how can he ask for your dates."

Lilac Nuonuo said, "He doesn't want to be his loss, we don't have a loss."

When she got home, she called Mama Chai and Aunt Zhang into the kitchen and asked them to do this.

This kind of vegetarian is delicious and easy to make, and the ingredients are simple, but the key is that it is not available in this era.

Make glutinous rice dates first. Remove the jujube core, cut the jujube on one side, stuff it into a piece of glutinous rice strips, put an appropriate amount of rock sugar in the pot and boil it until it is sugar-colored, add water, put the jujube in it and cook it for a quarter of an hour, and sprinkle it with cooked sesame seeds after collecting the water.

Then make snowball glutinous rice dates, fry the dates stuffed with glutinous rice sticks, and hang a layer of sugar awards, which are sweeter and crispier.

After finishing it, Mama Chai and Aunt Zhang both said it was delicious.

Lilac smiled, "Mama will go back and make it for my aunt, she must like to eat it."

Mama Chai smiled, "I don't blame my old lady for feeling sorry for my sister, my sister is filial."

On the fifteenth day of April, Ding Zhuang and Ding Xiang took Aya'er, Chai Mama, two small pots of glutinous rice dates and snowball glutinous rice dates, and drove to Zilong Mountain in the suburbs by Uncle Zhang.

Not only did the two guards follow from afar, but there were also people around to protect them.

Zhu Qian's protection of cloves can be described as painstaking.

More than half an hour later, they arrived at Zilong Mountain.

Guangling Temple is located at the foot of Zilong Mountain. At this time, at the beginning of the morning, many vendors selling things gathered outside the mountain gate, and there were many pilgrims.

Master Mingyuan preached Zen here, not to mention the locals, many outsiders who got the news rushed over.

This day is the last day of Master Mingjue's meditation lectures, and there are not as many people as yesterday and the day before yesterday.

Entering the temple, the incense mist was filled.

Ding Xiang and Ding Zhuang first went to the main hall to burn incense and worship the Buddha, not only asking the Buddha and Bodhisattva to bless Ding Zhao for meritorious service, Ding Liren High School, but also asking the Buddha and Bodhisattva to bless Zhu Qian and others to expose the true face of the Su family as soon as possible, and to Zhaoxue for the Dong family.

In the end, he donated two hundred taels of silver for sesame oil.

According to Ding Zhuang's original intention, he wanted to burn incense and donate five hundred taels of silver. But what Zhu Qian means is not to attract too much attention and keep a low profile.

In the past few days, all pilgrims who donate more than 100 taels of silver will not only have their names written on the merit book, but will also be invited by the welcoming monks to the Dharma Hall to listen to Master Mingyuan's Zen lectures.

And they gave two hundred taels, and they both went.

Mama Chai and Aya'er, who were carrying food boxes, went to sit and wait under the porch.
