Chapter 18
Early in the morning on the third day of April, when Jiang Yixi was still sleeping, 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 felt happy, it's great to have a caring and obsessive younger brother.

Today breakfast was earlier than usual, the siblings had just finished eating when Mrs. Jiang brought Jiang Yirou over.

Mrs. Jiang San gave Jiang Yixi 20 taels of silver, Jiang Yirou gave a piece of satin, and Jiang Yishan also gave two pieces of ropa.

Jiang Yixi didn't expect Jiang Yishan to give her something, and said with a smile, "Thank you Third Aunt and Fourth Sister, thank Fifth Sister for me."

Third Mrs. Jiang said, "Be careful in the countryside, and bring more people with you when you go out. When you encounter problems, report your third uncle's name. Your third uncle's military camp is there, and you can always scare some people..."

Jiang Yixi agreed one by one.

It's still early, the old lady didn't get up, she agreed to leave yesterday.

Jiang Yixi has four masters and servants in a carriage, Jiang Xun takes his servant Wangfu in a carriage, and the other two mule carts to load things.

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

It was the first time for Jiang Yixi to come here in the past and present.

After getting out of the car, there is a second courtyard in front of you, with white walls and black tiles, hidden among green trees and green bamboos.

Not far away is a village, surrounded by large fields, in which the small roads are criss-crossed.Beyond the fields in the east, there are continuous green mountains - Qingluo Mountain.

Standing here, you can vaguely hear the crowing of cocks and the barking of dogs and the laughter of children in the village.You can also faintly see the corners of the cornices in the forest at the foot of Qingluo Mountain, which should be Zhaoming Nunnery.

Uncle Wu brought his two sons, Wu Yougui and Wu Youfu, to their knees in front of Jiang Yixi and Jiang Xun.

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

Jiang Yixi didn't see Uncle Wu and Wu Youfu very often, but saw Wu Yougui more often.Wu Yougui was only half a year older than Jiang Yixi, and when he was a child, Wu Yougui would occasionally keep him in the mansion for a few days.

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

In the previous life, he was unlucky, and the servants were also unlucky.

Jiang Yixi smiled and said, "Uncle Wu, Brother Youfu, Brother Yougui, get up."

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

Uncle Wu smiled naively, "It should be." Looking at Jiang Yixi and Jiang Xun, he said with red eyes, "The longer the second girl is, the more she looks like the second wife, and the longer the second master is, the more he looks like the second master."

Jiang Xun touched his face and laughed, "Yes, they all said so. They also said that my sister is the most handsome little lady, and I am the most handsome young man."

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

Zhuangzi is quite big. Once he enters, besides the upside-down seat, there are east and west wing rooms.Uncle Wu's family lives in the West Wing, where the kitchen, firewood room, and warehouse are upside down.The second-time master lives, and they are locked when they don't come.There are five upper rooms and three east and west wing rooms.

Although the house is simple, it is kept spotless.

Cleaning up the house and cooking are done by Aunt He, mother and daughter of the sharecroppers. They are one of the most efficient peasant women in the village.

Jiang Yixi lives in the landlord's house.Shui Xiang and Shui Ling quickly spread out the master's quilt and hung up the gauze curtain.

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

After lunch, Jiang Xun will return to Beijing.

"Sister, I came here on the evening of the ninth day of the lunar new year, and I want to stay overnight in Zhuangzi."

"Okay, I'll prepare braised large intestines for my brother." Jiang Yixi readily agreed, and then said, "I'll copy the scriptures for my parents for a month first, and you can lend me the pendant left by my father to wear for a while."

Jiang Xun took a pendant from his neck, a red string with a dark yellow tiger head the size of an adult's thumb hanging from it.

This small pendant was passed on from Jiang Chen's great-grandfather directly to his second-grandson Jiang Chen over his son, grandson, and great-grandson, and Jiang Chen always wore it on his body.Before he died, he took it off and asked Meng Cimo to bring it back to the capital and hand it over to Jiang Xun.I heard that Uncle Jiang was very upset when he learned that such things were passed on to Jiang Xun by Jiang Chen before his death.But this thing has passed through Meng Cimo's hands, so he can't force it.

Jiang Xun said, "When Prince Meng handed this pendant to me, he said that father asked me to keep it and protect my sister. But I am incompetent, so I 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 receding carriage, Jiang Yixi touched the little tiger's head through her clothes.In the previous life, before his younger brother died, someone asked to bring the pendant to her. Because of this pendant, old Shen doctor sincerely taught him.In this life, I still have to make up a set of rhetoric based on this thing.

Uncle Wu listened to Jiang Xun's words.His eye circles were red, the second master was really a good man, and when he died, he was most worried about the girl.

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

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

Jiang Yixi smiled and said, "Go to the town to buy more flower seeds, and then buy two crabapple saplings and plantain saplings. I like colorful flowers. Oh, buy more rose flowers, which are cheap and easy to take care of." He asked again, "We How far is it from Linfeng Town?"

Wu Bo smiled and said, "It's not far, only six miles away, and it takes more than two quarters of an hour to get there."

After returning to the house, Jiang Yixi carefully copied the scriptures after washing her hands.

Her heart was extremely pious, she copied very slowly, and her handwriting was very regular.

Being able to be reborn and correcting one's mistakes is rare, but she was lucky enough to meet it.

How rare.

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

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

Shui Ling was so frightened that he swore and cursed that he would be obedient.

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

She who lives an extra life is not a lady in a deep boudoir.

She was wearing half-worn clothes, and the bamboo hat was pressed down low. It could be seen that she came from a wealthy family, but she could not have guessed that she was a girl from the Bo family.

Nanny Wu and Shui Ling walked on both sides of her, and Wu Yougui followed a few steps behind.

The path was bumpy, and the ears of wheat on both sides were fragrant. The farmers in the farmland stood up and looked at them.Those who knew Wu Yougui greeted him loudly, "Mr. Wu is in charge."

Wu Yougui also greeted with a loud smile back.

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

Zhaoming Temple is very large. A queen from the previous dynasty was relegated to common people and became a monk here. Later, her son became emperor and expanded the place like this.The female family members of many officials and eunuchs in the capital often come here to burn incense, especially those who seek children and marriage. I heard that the empress dowager came to pray for blessings more than [-] years ago.The incense is very strong inside, and the scenery is quiet.
