Later, after entering the Republic of China, there were not many officials to embarrass her, and many people also persuaded her that she could go down the mountain and live in Huangtian Town.

However, Tian Liumei mostly declined politely, and said that she was sixty or seventy years old, and since Ding Wuqihuang had lived in Baixiongling for most of her life, she had long been accustomed to it, and seeing that she had made up her mind to live in the Niangniang Temple, everyone no longer advised, but the Hu family found someone to renovate the shack into a tiled courtyard, which can be regarded as a house that can be regarded as sheltering from the wind and rain and from the cold and heat.

Up to now, Tian Liumei has basically become the temple wife of Niangniang Temple, and she still lives in the temple until now.

"In the past few decades, we haven't felt that Tian Liumei is a bad-hearted person, back then, she did go to Jinling with the Taiping Army, but she has been imprisoned by the government for ten years, and she has suffered a lot, sometimes we call her the old concubine, just for fun." Old Lady Hu's eyes obviously didn't believe that this was what Concubine Lao Tian did, and explained: "If you want to say that Concubine Lao Tianfei has a strange personality, we must admit it. ”

"This person collects everything but does not collect money directly, no matter what he does for others, he does it in the name of the imperial concubine, he is resolutely not greedy for merit or fame, with her skills in Taiping military studies, with the reputation of seeing doctors and disasters and treating diseases and saving people in these decades, she can already open a hall to collect incense, that is, to set up a new hall, we are also convinced."

"However, she has not attracted a day of fame over the years, but has carried forward the Imperial Concubine Temple, which used to be only the private temple of the Hu clan, and now, people from ten miles and eight villages have come to offer incense and make wishes, which shows that she has no self-interested thoughts."

"Is it necessary for such a person to make some strange things by himself, and then make a good job by himself? Anyway, the reputation of the imperial concubine is loud enough, what is he trying to do all this? Although Mrs. Hu is old, her brain is not confused, and her heart is even more mirror-like, in her understanding, Tian Liumei has no need to do this.

Song Siyuan listened to Mrs. Hu's words, and said slowly: "Old lady, your words are not wrong, Tian Liumei really doesn't need to do this, these are just your wishful thinking, but you also admit the current situation, these women who have not studied Nüshu have almost no nightmares, and then think about the lady who learned Nüshu, and immediately had a nightmare, no matter what, it also shows that Tian Liumei has a problem." ”

"I can't deny this, maybe, is Tian Liumei what is difficult to hide? Or was someone taking the opportunity to frame her? Jin Daochang nodded and said: "Indeed, what you said is possible, since we have doubts about this Tian Liumei, why don't we go and see what is going on with her, maybe, we can learn a lot from her mouth, anyway, don't we also have to go to her to read the Nüshu?" You'll have to check it out. ”

"That's fine, tomorrow I will ask Jin Dou to take you to White Bear Ridge, today I see that it is already afternoon, it is better to live in the guest house." Mrs. Hu's kindness is not false, she and Jin Daochang have not seen each other for decades, and there are indeed many things to say that this relationship cannot be faked, and it can be seen at a glance that it is unusual.

Yue Guanchao and the others originally planned to come to find the solution to Nüshu, but they lived in the Hu family and happened to be close to the water and the building was the first to get the moon, so they simply stopped looking for an inn, and were placed in the guest house by the Hu family together with Jin Daochang.

This courtyard is located in the former mansion, the southwest corner of the house gate, there is a hanging flower gate across the courtyard. Walking into it, the pattern here is basically a grand courtyard, divided into the front yard, the main house, the back yard, the ground is paved with green bricks, green trees and flowers are planted everywhere, and the cleaning is extremely clean, and there are already servants walking around, cleaning up the last time.

"Old immortal, this cross-courtyard is specially used by us to entertain guests, it has been cleaned very clean, according to the old lady's instructions, you can go to live in the main room with the Buddha hall, as for other distinguished guests, there are many guest rooms in the courtyard, you can choose." After speaking, the old servant said with a smile: "Except for Shuowang, the Hu family's Zhu Mansion eats separately in each courtyard, and there is also a small kitchen in this courtyard, and the man has been dialed over, after that, you can eat and drink at will in the courtyard, if you want to eat, you can tell the old lady, and she will naturally ask them to buy it." ”

"Tonight, the old lady is in the Shouyuan to wash the dust for you, tonight you have to go to the Shouyuan to have a look." After the old servant finished speaking, he walked out with a smiling face.

After they cleaned up, they each determined the guest room, and it was already dusk, and under the repeated urging of the old servant, everyone set off to Shouyuan.

After the place was cleaned up, there was still a round table, which happened to be spread out in the main hall, and at this moment, it was already full of dishes, which looked very attractive.

Mrs. Hu said with a smile: "I don't know if Master Changhe eats meat or not, so I bought a set of vegetarian noodles in Hangzhou, vegetarian ham, vegetarian roast chicken, vegetarian roast duck, red plum shrimp, merit golden leg, Bazhen Hehe, silver silk straw mushroom, skin fragrant tofu, jade ball, silver cabbage eel, jade crab powder, pine nut minced meat, golden fried tofu, Luohan seasonal vegetables, walnuts, jujube paste autumn leaves, rose peony, apple crisp, candied date oil shreds, sweet and salty flavors, although they are all vegetarian dishes, they are more delicious than meat dishes, and I also eat more of these when I worship the Buddha. ”

"Don't worry, the guest is as you please, let's just eat something with the old lady." Monk Hua wanted to order a few meat dishes, but he found that Jin Daochang was pulling his sleeve and had to give up, and Yue Guanchao didn't care what they ate, they all sat down separately.

Vegetarian rice is the characteristic of Jiangnan, the monks in the Jade Buddha Temple in Jiangnan taboo meat, can not eat meat and fishy materials, if the guests of incense come, it is not very good to present vegetarian dishes.

In order to make the guests happy, the temple chefs use vegetarian ingredients and knife techniques to create the texture and taste of meat while retaining the essence of vegetarian dishes.

These vegetarian dishes are vegetarian in addition to things, color, flavor and taste, basically close to meat, later, because of the praise of pilgrims, and was selected as the royal family vegetarian food, from the Jade Buddha Temple gradually swept the north and south of the river.

Up to now, after hundreds of years of development, vegetarian food has produced countless kinds of delicacies, and the old lady Hu ordered these are basically the signature vegetarian food, which shows that it took a lot of thought.

Yue Guanchao and they picked up the vegetarian food, and after entering the mouth, it really has nothing to do with the word vegetarian food, and it tastes rich in meat and tastes.

After eating and eating, the old lady ordered a scene alone, and sang alone in the main hall, Yue Guanchao took these juniors out of the Shoutang, standing outside the courtyard and watching the servants set off fireworks, leaving only Jin Daochang, Hua Monk, Second Uncle Yue, Sun Daqiao, these old guys in the hall to talk about ancient words.

"Don't you think that this old lady Hu seems to be completely different from Jin Daochang." Song Siyuan said.

Yue Guanchao nodded: "We have already seen that Elder Jin Dao said that Mrs. Hu was a life-saving grace to him, but I look at it from Mrs. Hu's point of view, I am afraid that it is not just a life-saving grace, perhaps, the two liked each other when they were young, but their fates were separated, which left regrets." ”

"Then this is very easy to explain, Mrs. Hu is still thinking about Jin Daochang's love." Xu Xiake said.

"Be quiet, what you are talking about is the ancestor of the Hu family, and she still wants to arrange her in other people's houses." Yue Erpao rarely said a human word, which provoked the surrounding hehehe.

"Then, why did they separate in the first place, since they are not married to each other, isn't it easy to get together?" Song Siyuan's words made everyone quite emotional, Yue Guanchao remembered the experience of his second uncle and Luo Shi Niang, and seemed to understand a little: "Think about it, Jin Daochang just went down the mountain back then, he was young and vigorous, but he was determined to be chivalrous and righteous, even if such a person really has someone he likes, there is a high probability that he will not start a family." ”

"Because, once you have a family, you also have a weakness, it is common for swords, swords, swords, and bloody winds in the rivers and lakes, if your wife and children are found by the enemy, then you will be completely defeated, it is better to be alone, in this way, you will die if you die, and you will not drag down anyone who is alive." This was said in line with Jin Daochang's current situation, and Song Siyuan glanced at him with slanted eyes: "Vulgar and reckless, did you think like this before?" I have to deliberately pretend to be confused and make me half angry. Yue Guanchao smiled evilly: "That's not, I'm completely thinking, toads can't always think about eating swan meat, I'm telling you that my second uncle is the case you said." ”

"You mean, Senior Luo?" Song Siyuan looked like a gossip, these days, she probably saw what Lao Yue Tou meant from his thoughts, but it was just inconvenient to say it, she didn't expect Yue Guanchao to be so frank, and she immediately became curious again.

Yue Guanchao stared at one eye and nodded: "Yes, when we went to Huihetang to listen to the play, the second uncle told me that Senior Luo almost married him back then, and later, it was the second uncle who insisted on continuing to break into the rivers and lakes without dying with a thief's heart, and he politely declined her for fear of being dragged down, and it was also for this reason that Senior Luo was afraid that he would never marry, which also became the second uncle's heart disease." He paused, lowered his voice and continued to explain: "Second Uncle always thinks that if he had married her back then, maybe Senior Luo would not have lived so hard, and this can be regarded as he owes Senior Luo a love that can't be repaid, otherwise, how could he be so concerned about Senior Luo's affairs." ”

"I guess that Jin Daochang is the same, both of them essentially belong to the temperament that they liked to be reckless when they were young, and when they get old, they can't achieve anything, and when they think of the past, they begin to regret mistaking beauty, mistaking their lives, and mistaking themselves."

"You're pretty good at talking to others, but what about yourself?" Song Siyuan's words made Yue Guanchao cough a few times dryly, and hugged her waist: "Crossing the river by feeling the stones, how do you know the depth, anyway, you will regret what you do when you are old, and you don't bury me when the time comes." ”

"Cut!" The crowd spoke out in contempt. At this time, the fireworks have been embellished in the night sky, such as the spring garden is dazzling, the smoke is swirling, the crackling movement from far and near frequently enters the ears, the people in the main hall are warm and greeting, and I don't know the time of time, Mrs. Hu saw the old man on the day of her birthday, and it is estimated that she is also crazy with joy, and completely forgets the time.
