The little girl of the landlord's house

Chapter 2

When Lao Miao Zhu heard that it was from Xie's family, his white eyebrows twitched, and he said, "Then go and invite them in, it rains a lot in spring, and the weather is cold, don't freeze."

The little novice recited a Buddhist verse with one hand together, and said: "The maid said she wanted a clean meditation room, and the person who came was the eldest lady of the Xie family." I can't achieve the state of mind without everything, and the roots of my ears are slightly hot.

Lao Miaozhu is in a difficult situation now, his temple is small, and there is only this meditation room for guests, which is decent. This big girl is going to come, but where are the two guests in front of him going?Kang Guangshou saw a look of embarrassment on Miao Zhu's face, but he got up quickly and said, "It's getting late now, and the rain doesn't know when it will stop, so we'll take our leave first."

After Kang Guangshou finished speaking, another man beside him also stood up, bowed his hands towards the temple, and wanted to leave.Although Lao Miaozhu recognized the new county magistrate, he didn't know the identity of this extraordinary young master.It's just that the old temple wished to practice all the year round, and he has some practice. He usually reads people's faces, and he is always a little accurate. The two were sent to the door.

Not far from the entrance of the temple, a sedan chair with a flat top and soap curtains is slowly approaching from a distance.A girl of thirteen or fourteen stood at the intersection, holding an oil-paper umbrella and wearing a double bun, and at a glance she could tell that it was the girl next to the lady.

Kang Guangshou turned around and bowed to Miao Zhu again, and said, "Master, my father is so familiar with the local customs and customs here, so I will definitely invite you to the county government office to explain it some other day."

Miao Zhu clasped his palms together and recited a sentence of Amitabha, and watched the two of them get into the carriage. Seeing that the carriage was going farther and farther in the rain and fog, he was relieved, and silently recalled the appearance of the man in brocade just now: there was something on his head, like a boob. In the shape of a mountain, only with this spiritual thing can one breathe into the clouds, soar upwards, and soar to the nine heavens. This is a very precious appearance.

Lao Miao Zhu has seen countless people in this life, but this is the first time he has seen someone with such a face.Just as he was trying to figure out the identity of the young master, he heard a crisp and sweet voice, like a song of a warbler in March, or an oriole in April.

"Teacher, excuse me."

Miao Zhu came back to his senses, and saw that the maid had already helped a delicate girl out of the sedan chair, and the girl blessed her body slightly towards him as a salute, her white teeth, star eyes, pink, black and blue eyes are truly stunning in the world.With just one glance, Lao Miaozhu recognized that this was the noble lady from Mr. Xie's family.

"Thank you benefactor, please come inside." Miaozhu returned a Buddhist principle and led everyone in.

There was no one in the meditation room where the guests were received just now, the little novice made some good tea again, after Xie Yujiao thanked her, she said, "Please ask my little master to bring some hot tea, and give it to my bearers, so that they can drink it too." Warm up."

The little novice agreed with a blushing face, looking really amusing. Seeing him go out, the magpie smiled and said: "Girl, girl, didn't you say that monks are all clean? Why does he blush when he sees you! Isn't it a crime?" Sexual abstinence?"

Xie Yujiao slapped the magpie back, and the magpie was so frightened that it hurriedly fell silent. It brought the teacup to Xie Yujiao and said, "This tea is old tea from the old year. Miss, let's take a sip."

Xie Yujiao nodded, picked up the tea cup brought by the magpie, and looked down at the green tea in the tea bowl. Although she didn't know how the magpie could tell that it was old tea, it was just that it was only April weather, and ordinary people If you want to take a sip of new tea, I'm afraid it won't be that easy.However, Xie's family has a tea garden, and they sent a lot of Mingqian Yuhua over a while ago, and the tea tasted really good.

Xie Yujiao drank two sips of tea, and the moisture on her body disappeared for a while. The ordinary pagoda sandalwood was burning in this room, which was clear and light, which was very soothing, but there seemed to be some mixed in the sandalwood. The other scents, although not strong, are easy to distinguish for Xie Yujiao, who was a perfumer in her previous life.If the guess is correct, there was only a guest in this room a while ago, and it was probably the person who left in the carriage.

Thinking of this, Xie Yujiao felt a little embarrassed. If she hadn't wanted to come over to rest her feet, the man wouldn't have left in such a hurry. It was inconvenient to drive a car in this rainy day, but she made it difficult for others.But it's meaningless to think about it now, since the person has already left anyway.

Lao Miaozhu is a person from outside Fang, with clean six senses, but he does not avoid suspicion, seeing Xie Yujiao sitting in the room, he just smiled kindly and said: "Miss is going out today, but have you chosen a sleeping place for Master Xie? "

Xie Jiazu's tomb is in Yinlong Mountain, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is really a good place for blessing the descendants.Although Master Xie died young, he was still loved by his clan. The location of his tomb was calculated by the clan by inviting three or four famous Fengshui masters. Xie Yujiao went to see it.

Xie Yujiao didn't understand these things at all. Fortunately, there was a housekeeper who explained along the way, and now she understood some of them.

"The place has already been selected. On the day of my father's burial, I will invite my teacher and father to perform a ceremony. I will send a post in a few days."

Lao Miaozhu said a few words again and again that he didn't dare to take it seriously, and a pair of slightly cloudy eyes glanced at Xie Yujiao's face again. After all, he didn't dare to look closely at the girl's appearance, he only knew that her skin was indeed fair and translucent, as if it could be broken with the snap of a finger.

Fortunately, the spring rain comes and goes quickly, but with the effort of a cup of tea, the rain is lightened.Xie Yujiao thought that Mrs. Xu might be worried when she was alone at home, so she also got up to leave.

Magpie stepped forward to help Xie Yujiao up, and straightened her wrinkled dress, but saw a jade pendant on the futon that Xie Yujiao had just sat on.The magpie was about to tell Xie Yujiao to stop, but when she saw that she had turned around and left the meditation room, she hurriedly took the handkerchief and wrapped the jade pendant around her, and Zangcai followed her.

Mrs. Xu waited in the corridor for a long time, but when Xie Yujiao came back, she sighed again.Mother Zhang comforted her and said: "It was raining heavily just now, the girl might be hiding from the rain on the road, she might be back in a while, the wife is waiting inside, and the maidservant told Changshun to send someone to look for it."

Mrs. Xu just nodded quickly, and said: "You don't have to go far, just wait at the entrance of the village. Don't cross the road at that time, or you won't be able to find it."

Chang Shun is Mama Zhang's eldest son, and now he runs errands with his father, he is the most capable young man.As Mama Zhang said, when Chang Shun arrived at the entrance of the village, he saw Xie Yujiao's sedan chair had already entered the village entrance, and the maid beside her with an umbrella was his sweetheart, Magpie.

Magpie saw Chang Shun coming out to welcome him, and with a bit of joy on his face, he walked to Xie Yujiao's sedan chair, and whispered, "Miss is really lucky, my wife sent Brother Chang Shun to welcome me to the entrance of the village."

Xie Yujiao thought in her heart that Xu's character in this life is exactly the same as her mother's in the previous life. She treats herself like a sweetheart, and she is afraid that something will go wrong.

Facing Xu, who had exactly the same appearance and temperament as her previous mother, Xie Yujiao quickly adapted to the role of daughter and regarded her as her own mother.

The Xie family's house in Xie's house is the ancestral house, which is not the best, but because the ancestral hall and clan members are all here, the Xie family has always lived here. The four-way courtyard has a back garden, and there are The small pavilion is exactly the Xiulou where Xie Yujiao used to live.

When Xie Yujiao got off the sedan chair, Mrs. Xu had already reached the door of Chuihua.The cold wind and rain along the way made Xie Yujiao's face look a little pale. When Xu saw her, she hurriedly said: "Go to the kitchen and bring a bowl of ginger soup that you just boiled for the girl to drink. It's just spring, but it won't be cold."

While talking, the group had already entered the main courtyard, and the servant girl stepped forward and pulled the curtain to lead them in. Xie Yujiao saw that Xu's shoes were half wet, so she knew that she must be waiting outside the door, she was immediately moved, and said: " Mother, don't wait for me outside, waiting inside is the same as waiting outside, if you freeze your body, it won't be worth the loss."

Mother Zhang heard the words, and followed suit: "What the girl said is true, it's just that the wife is worried about the girl, and I can't persuade the old slave!"

The Xu family is naturally worried about Xie Yujiao. She used to live in the embroidered building in the backyard, and even the door of the backyard has never been out. The large group of clansmen who coveted the Xie family's property dealt with each other, how many difficulties did Xu have in it, but she was ill recently, so she really couldn't afford to worry about it, but if she thought about it during the day, she couldn't sleep at night, Even if he falls asleep, he still has nightmares again and again, and there is no moment of peace.

There was really no other way, these things could only fall on Xie Yujiao.

At this time, the servant girl had already brought over ginger soup, which was boiled thickly, and some pepper was put in it. After drinking a bowl, her body would heat up in a short while, and the coldness would dissipate.

Xie Yujiao drank most of the bowl, rinsed her mouth, and said, "Mum, don't worry, I'm not a ten-year-old kid, and I won't be fooled by those people casually. Although I have never socialized before, my father has always taught me As long as there are books on books, I have read most of those people's sophistication, and I don't think it is too difficult." Regarding the fact that a lady like a canary raised in a cage suddenly became enlightened, Outsiders are mostly curious, and Xie Yujiao can only attribute this to reading too much.
