Chapter 40 (2)
Since she opened her eyes in the summer when she was ten years old, she has envisioned the next ten years for herself.She is almost fourteen now. At the age of 14, she dared not tell herself that six years later, she and her family would still be as beautiful as they are now.But she knew that it would not end as sadly as before.At least now, she is reliving this life for her parents and relatives, and she has been working hard.

Don't be afraid, the Buddha said, when the fruit is full of Bodhi, the world will bloom with flowers.

she said to herself.

Jiang Kui's birthday is July [-].Because of his eccentric temperament, he didn't like those complicated etiquettes, and he was most afraid of crowds, so in the past few years, it was just that Ruan Hongtian and his wife brought a few children to worship together.This year it was his sixtieth birthday, both husband and wife felt that it was too contemptuous as in previous years, so they had to celebrate anyway.I only knew his temper, and didn't intend to be too extravagant. Except for the family members of the Ruan family, I only sent posts to people who had close contacts on weekdays.Calculated in this way, there are as many as seven or eight families.Naturally including the Xie family at the South Gate.

Liu Shenghe had been sent to make preparations a few days earlier, and Ruan Hongtian and his wife deliberately brought Mingyu, Mingpei, and Anmo to Mengcheng in the early morning of the [-]th day. In the evening, a group of people arrived Outside Bailu Zhai, Liu Shenghe and Yu Da rushed out to greet him.When he asked about the old man, Liu Shenghe said: "Today, the son of the Xie family from the general's mansion came over. The old man was so happy that he took him up the mountain together, saying that although there are no plum blossoms in Meifeng, there are Lingxiao and Yuanya. The vine is several feet long, the vine is as big as a cup, and it is now in flowering season, so I invited Mr. Xie to go and watch it together, and the two of them went."

The nephew of General Xie's mansion just came back a few days ago, Jiang already knew about it from Mrs. Xie, so he was not surprised, but asked: "When will I come back? My father is most casual. If you are willing to come back, the day after tomorrow will be your birthday, so it will be troublesome."

Liu Shenghe hurriedly said: "Madam, don't worry, I have specially told Mr. Xie. Mr. Xie said that he will definitely bring the old man back by tomorrow night at the latest."

Only then did Jiang nodded, and the whole family settled down.During dinner in the evening, Ming Yu heard Xie Zuiqiao's name mentioned in the conversation between her parents. She was startled for a moment, and the appearance of that person when she last saw him in the Yu Garden two years ago appeared in her mind.

This young man gave Ming Yu a subtle feeling, which was both familiar and strange.Speaking of familiarity, in the past few years, she has only met him a few times, and now more than two years have passed, and even his appearance has become a little blurred, leaving only a pair of dark and energetic eyes, which I still remember Profound; speaking of strangers, he has helped him several times in the past regardless of gains or losses. This kind of affection, in the past and present, may only have been obtained from him.Recalling the meeting with the sisters of the Xie family last month, Xie Mingrou mentioned that after his filial piety next month, he will take up the post of imperial guard back then.If everything remains the same, then next year, Pei Taizhi will leave Beijing for a reason that even she is not sure about. He will be promoted to be the commander of the guards, then the emperor will give him a marriage, and then he will die unexpectedly...

"...The guests won't arrive until the next day. Let's take the children up the mountain together tomorrow. I can't worry about my father. I have to watch him come back with me in person before I can rest assured..."

Ming Yu was suddenly pulled back from her thoughts by her mother's words. Seeing An Mo, she clapped her hands and cheered, "Okay, I'm going!"

Ruan Hongtian smiled and said: "That's fine. The housekeeper here is here. I will accompany you up the mountain. I haven't visited the mountain for a long time. It's good to take this opportunity to loosen my muscles and bones. I think the mountain scenery should be very good now, even better than below." Cool off." It was agreed that they dispersed.

The next day was still sunny, and the family took advantage of the shade in the morning and got up early to set off.

Ming Yu's body today is nothing more than a pale yellow lake crepe shirt.This kind of material is not only cool to wear, but under the sunlight, the begonias with dark lines appear, which is elegant and rich.It was Ruan Hongtian who specially asked skillful weavers to weave it for his daughter to make summer shirts.An exquisite flower hairpin is inserted obliquely on the head, and the dress is extremely neat and pleasant.

It was also An Mo's first trip to the mountains and rivers, and he was very excited all the way, sitting next to Ming Yu and chattering non-stop.When he reached the foot of Xiling Mountain, he took Mingyu's hand and climbed nearly a hundred steps in one go. Then he squatted down and said he was tired, and Ruan Hongtian carried him up instead.

The family and the servants brought out stopped and went, and when the sun rose above their heads, they arrived at Hanqing Temple, but they did not see the old man and Xie Zuiqiao.The little monk said that the master went on a mountain tour with them in the morning, and it would take some time before he returned.

Since the Jiang family gave birth to a son, they believed in Buddhism even more. They went to the side halls of the main hall to worship Buddha one by one, and Ruan Hongtian naturally accompanied them.After Ming Pei climbed the mountain road, she was so tired that she was panting and her face paled. She refused to get up after sitting down.Only An Mo clamored to visit the temple.Ming Yu asked him to take him around.

Knowing that she has always been prudent and that she is playing in the temple, Jiang is at ease.After a few orders not to go far, he complied.He also ordered Chunyuan Xuenan to accompany her, and everyone dispersed.

The mountains are cool, and the temple is full of shade to block out the sun.Because the temple is built on the hillside, it is necessary to climb up and down the stairs from time to time. Ming Yu led An Mo to climb up to the tallest rosin courtyard. Xue Nan was almost the same as him, so he smiled at An Mo: "Mo'er, sister can't walk anymore, how about sitting here and resting for a while?"

An Mo said: "Sister, sit here and rest, I'll go hug that tree again."

The branches of the old cypress are very thick, and it takes a few people to surround them. Ming Yu knew that An Mo was curious, and that the old cypress was dozens of steps away from her, so she could see it at a glance, so she said with a smile: "Go. Don't run around .”

An Mo agreed, jumping over and hugging the tree trunk.Chunyuan took out a handkerchief and put it on a flat stone surface for Ming Yu to sit on. She and Xue Nan also sat beside her. The three of them watched An Mo running around the old cypress, and then Hide yourself at the other end of the tree trunk, poke your head and play hide-and-seek with Ming Yu, laughing constantly.After a while, when he was hidden on the other side of the tree trunk again, Ming Yu waited for him to poke his head out again, but there was no movement after waiting for a while.Hastily went over with Chunyuan Xuenan, but there was no one on the other side of the tree trunk.The three of them suddenly changed their colors, and hurriedly searched around, but they couldn't see him.

There are verdant vegetation beside the big tree, one left and one right bifurcate into two bluestone trails for monks to walk on, the fork is being covered by the tree trunk from where Ming Yu was sitting just now.Ming Yu guessed that An Mo was going down here, so she hurriedly called Xue Nan back to tell her parents that she should go to the left, and Chun Yuan should go to the right, and the two went separately.

The mountain temple is surrounded by mountains on one side and walls are built on three sides. Although it is also closed, it is only a huge place with scattered mountain steps.An Mo is young and mischievous, so leaving him behind like this is naturally worrying.Ming Yu hurried down the path, calling An Mo's name as she walked.Even though it was shady and cool in the mountains, cold sweat broke out on his forehead within a short while.Just as he was in a hurry, he suddenly heard a familiar giggle from behind him, his heart skipped a beat, he looked back, and saw a small head poking out from behind a rock, his eyes darting wildly, it was An Mo or someone else!

Mingyu's heart just fell to the ground, and she hurried over and grabbed his arm, making a gesture to hit him.An Mo was not afraid, hugged her waist, and said coquettishly: "I am playing hide-and-seek with sister. I have been waiting for sister to come to me."

Ming Yu was both angry and funny, but the hand couldn't fall down after all, so she still smirked and said, "You can't hide like this in the future. I almost scared my sister to death just now!"

An Mo smiled and nodded.Afraid of his parents' anxiety, Ming Yu took his hand and was about to go home when An Mo suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the wild pear tree beside the road, "Sister, I want it."

Ming Yu looked up and saw that although it was a wild pear tree, the fruit on the branches was very gratifying.I reckoned that if I stood on that rock, I would still be able to get the pear on the short branch, so I answered and stood up, tiptoe and stretched out my hand to reach for the pear.The fingertips barely touched, and suddenly the lower abdomen twitched, and I felt a burst of heat gushing out from under my body. I was startled, and another gushing out, and my heart started beating.

She's having her period.

Ming Yu couldn't remember what she was doing when she had menarche in her previous life.But this time, her coming-of-age ceremony came so unprepared, she was even a little dumbfounded.

"Sister, you are bleeding!"

An Mo behind him suddenly yelled, his voice full of fear.

Ming Yu was a little embarrassed, turned her head to look, and saw that the thin light yellow clothing was no match for the bright red, and there were already marks on the back, so she hurriedly climbed off the rock, squatted down, and whispered to An Mo: "Ah Sis is fine, just squat here. Keep quiet!"

An Mo didn't believe it, tears welled up in his eyes, he turned his head and ran towards the way Cai Mingyu came over just now, saying, "Sister, I'll call someone to help you!"

Ming Yu was shy and embarrassed, wanted to catch up to stop him, stood up but didn't dare to leave, afraid of being met by the monks in the temple, so she could only call An Mo repeatedly: "If you see Chun Yuan, just bring her here!" I don't know if he heard it, but he was already walking on two fat short legs, and he disappeared in an instant.

An Mo ran out in a panic, and when he arrived at the fork in the road just now, he bumped into a man. Because of his small body, he was knocked backwards. Fortunately, the man had quick eyesight and quick hands, and hugged him. Seeing his panic-stricken face covered with snot and tears, he couldn't help asking: "Which family are you from? What kind of person? Where are your parents?"

"My sister is bleeding and can't walk!"

An Mo raised his face and said yes, sobbing.
