Chapter 71

It was the hottest weather, Zhou Yiwan refused to let the little girl open an umbrella, Yijia carried her for a few steps and her forehead was covered with sweat.

Zhou Yiwan stretched out her hand, clutched the corner of her small sleeve to wipe her sweat, then waved her legs and said, "Sister, let me down, I want to walk with you."

She is so considerate at such a young age, she has a good sister.

Yijia smiled knowingly, and put Zhou Yiwan down.Passed her hand and said: "Then you hold my hand and walk slowly."

"Okay." Zhou Yiwan sweetly agreed, grabbed Yijia's hand, and ran forward with short legs.

A few steps further, it is the artificial lake in Dongshan Temple.

The surface of the lake is very open, and many lotus flowers are planted. The lotus leaves meet the endless blue sky, and the lotus flowers stand quietly on the branches. It feels cool when you wear it.

Yijia squatted down to seek Zhou Yiwan's opinion, "Shall we go play in the pavilion? There is no sun there, and maybe we can see fish."

Children need to be coaxed, and Yijia didn't know until now that she has endless patience with children.

Zhou Yiwan tilted her head and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, then listen to my sister."

Yijia smiled and pulled Zhou Yiwan to the Huxin Pavilion.

Xuezhu and Qiushuang followed quickly.Zhou Yiwan's nurse and the eldest maid Yuxiang looked at each other again, feeling in their hearts that the Second Miss was really different.

The lotus pond in summer is a scene of Dongshan Temple. The pavilion in the center of the lake was originally used as a resting place for those who came to offer incense and worship the Buddha. Naturally, it has been repaired very well.The pavilion in the middle of the lake is open on all sides, with bamboo curtains hanging on both sides to shade the sun, and two sides are open to enjoy the lotus.In the middle is a small round table with five stone benches below, and on the table are teapots, tea sets and some dried fruit snacks.There are railings on three sides of the pavilion, and there are wooden benches under the railings, which can still sit or lie down.

A few people entered the pavilion and sat down at the small round table. Yijia took out a handkerchief to wipe Zhou Yiwan's sweat, while Qiushuang directed someone to bring tea and snacks brought from home and put them on, and then wet the handkerchief with cold water and handed it over. After Yijia wiped his and Zhou Yiwan's faces with a wet handkerchief, he asked someone to put away the things, and Xuezhu and Xuezhu took a paper fan to blow the wind gently for the two sisters of Yijia.

The weather was indeed very hot, and Yijia saw that Qiushuang was also sweating, so she waved her hands and said, "No need, you can also sit down and drink some water to rest for a while, the pavilion is not so hot, I will calm down after sitting for a while gone."

"We'll fan you for a while. Look, you didn't open an umbrella just now. Your face is completely red from the sun. You can't go back without an umbrella." Qiushuang now treats Yijia wholeheartedly, just wanting to She took good care of her comfortably, and I can remember her kindness in the future.

Yijia is really sympathetic to them. In her previous life, she herself was similar to being a maid, and she knew the hard work and care involved. She knew that Qiushuang was trying to please her on purpose, but as long as she was loyal to herself, then she I don't mind if she has such small thoughts.How can people not think carefully, if they really have no desires and desires, then it is really terrible.

"It's okay, I just blush easily, it's okay." She smiled and said, "Sit down and drink some water and rest, I will get angry if you don't obey me."

Qiushuang wanted to decline, but Xue Zhu sat down.

He picked up the teapot on the table and poured a full cup, and drank it in two sips.

Xuezhu has been with Yijia for two or three days, but she only does things without talking, and is usually the one who obeys orders the most, so Yijia is quite satisfied with her.

Seeing that there was no dissatisfaction on Yijia's face, Qiushuang sat down, greeted Zhou Yiwan's wet nurse and Yuxiang, and sat down together to wipe off her sweat and drink water.

A few people were chatting there, but the bamboo curtain behind Yijia made a rattling sound. When she turned her head, she saw that the bamboo curtain was raised high, revealing the sleepy face of a teenager.The young man was wearing a dark blue straight gown. He looked very dazed at the moment, as if he didn't know where he was, and looked at the people in the pavilion in a daze.

Qiushuang said "Oops", seeing that Xuezhu had stepped forward to block Yijia, she was too busy to stand over.

"You, who are you? Why are you here to eavesdrop on us!" She yelled loudly.

The boy rubbed his eyes, still looking out of his mind, "I didn't eavesdrop on what you were saying, I've been sleeping here, and you woke me up." Looking at Xuezhu and Qiushuang, he stretched out his head to look at the back seated Yijia, who was holding her, and Yiwan, who was embraced by her, asked, "Who are you?"

Qiushuang wanted to speak again, but Yijia stopped her.

"It's time for us to go. I'm afraid the mother's side will also offer good incense." She said, pulled Zhou Yiwan to stand up, and apologized to the young man, "I'm really sorry, we bothered you, sir, please forgive me."

"Oh, it's okay." The boy clapped his hands and stood up, saying, "I'm about to leave, you guys stay here."

After speaking, he turned and strode away.

He didn't take a second look at the servant girl in the pavilion, nor did he take a second look at Yijia who was hiding behind the servant girl, as suddenly as she appeared, she disappeared within a few steps.

Qiu Shuang complained in a low voice: "I don't know who it is, how could it hide and sleep outside the bamboo curtain so well, it really shocked me."

"That's right, it's really strange to see someone in a daze." Yuxiang also echoed.

Xue Zhu frowned, but didn't say anything.

Yijia didn't take this matter to heart, but said to Qiushuang: "Okay, it's our fault. He rested here first. We not only disturbed him, but also occupied his place. Next time we will come again." You can't speak in that tone again."

"Aren't I worried about Miss, who knows if it's a good person or a bad person, what if I bump into Miss." Qiu Shuang retorted softly.

"Yes, I know, I know, but my attitude will be better in the future. Fortunately, he doesn't care about us. If it's a son of a prince or nobleman, I'm afraid we won't be able to eat right now." Qiushuang's attitude made Yijia feel quite worried. Well, she is used to being at home, but the Zhou family in the capital is just a house of ants, and there are many people they can't afford to offend.

Qiu Shuang was a little scared when she heard this, and admitted her mistake softly.

Yijia didn't say anything about her again, and they sat for a while before getting up and walking back along the original road.

As soon as the blue-clothed boy came out, a young servant who was hiding behind a big tree not far away trotted over and asked, "How about it, master, how is Miss Zhou?"

The boy smiled and said eight words, "Don't be surprised by favor or disgrace, be polite."

"Oh, this is great, my wife can finally rest assured!" The boy quickly said that his mouth was exposed, but when he saw the boy again, his expression changed, and he immediately said: "Young master, don't be like this, the old man wants you You pretended to be a passer-by to ask for directions, but you directly frightened Miss Zhou, and I tried my best to deceive the old lady and kept it a secret from you, so you can't bully me!"

The young man snorted coldly and knocked on the boy.

The little servant wailed, and said: "Master, the old man and Mr. Zhou are playing chess in the bamboo forest over there, let's go there now!"

The young man hummed, knocked the boy again, and said: "You are not allowed to report to the wife anymore, do you hear me? Otherwise, I will send you out directly, and I don't want you to serve me anymore."

"Okay, okay, I know, I know." The boy said while crying out in pain.

"Qikun!" Grandpa Kang saw his grandson and shouted loudly: "Come here, come and help me see how to play this game of chess."

Kang Qikun came striding forward, saluted Zhou Chengyan first, then looked at Mrs. Kang, and said, "Grandfather and Mr. Zhou are very good at chess. I don't dare to make a fool of myself. I'll just stand by the side and learn from you two." Learning is."

Mr. Kang's eldest son has only one son. Although he is a concubine, he was raised by his eldest daughter-in-law since he was a child. He is intelligent and respectful, so he likes him very much.Looking at the expression on Kang Qikun's face, he knew that he was very satisfied with the Zhou family girl, but he didn't know what the Zhou family girl thought.He also lost the intention to continue playing chess with Zhou Chengyan, he pushed the chessboard and said, "Hey, I'm old, I don't have enough brains, I can't play any more."

It is said that the father-in-law looked at his son-in-law more and more, but Zhou Chengyan became more and more satisfied with Kang Qikun. He was about the same age and handsome. It was rare that he had a rare talent. Not only was he the grandson of his mentor, but his family was also very simple. Even if he takes charge of the family in the future, with the help of Mrs. Kang, it is not too difficult to imagine.

"Okay, then the students will leave first." He said: "Today Zhuo Jing and her two daughters also arrived at Dongshan Temple, I'm afraid they will stay here for the fast meal."

"Go quickly!" Mr. Kang urged, he was waiting to hear the news.He also ordered the housekeeper beside him: "I will stay here later to have a fast meal, and I will arrange it in the west hall, with Peng Hai."

Zhou Chengyan smiled and strode away.

When he arrived, Yijia and Xiao Song had already reconciled, and because of the hot weather, they were not in the mood to go shopping, and were thinking of going to the back wing to rest.

Yijia was very surprised to see Zhou Chengyan, "Father, why are you here? Didn't you take a bath today, why are you free?"

"I came here with Mrs. Kang, and I have to go back after the fast meal with you." Zhou Chengyan felt reluctant to find out when he saw his daughter, reached out and patted Yijia, and said, "Are you tired? I heard that you Playing with Yiwan for a while, she is just about to run and dance when she is young, you just ask the wet nurse to follow, don't tire yourself out."

"It's okay, I'm not tired." Yijia shook her head and said, "When are you leaving, are you in a hurry? I'm afraid the vegetarian meal in the temple has been prepared, or let's go there now!"

Zhou Chengyan looked at Xiao Song, and Xiao Song said: "Let's go now, I'm afraid the two children will be hungry after playing all morning."

A family of four followed the monks to the west hall, when they heard the hearty laughter of an old man as soon as they reached the door.Zhou Chengyan explained to his wife and daughter: "Teacher will also stay here today to have a fast meal, so let's follow along."

Xiao Song nodded, picked up Yiwan and told her not to run around, not to cry, etc. before entering the west hall.
