The maid is the queen

Chapter 211
There were so many people, Xia Juntang squeezed them away, and quietly took my hand in a lively manner, I flinched, but still didn't pull it out.

Looking at him sideways, there is a deep smile in the corner of his eyes. I, the road is almost finished, and he may leave.

In the lively crowd, you come and go, and the noise is endless.He held my hand and protected me, preventing people from squeezing me away. In the palm of his hand, I don't know if it's his sweat or mine.

The little senior sister was very excited, and when she saw something interesting, she yelled loudly: "Junior sister, come quickly."

We are all bald-headed nuns in plain clothes. When we yelled, most people looked at us.

I withdrew my hand in a panic, and walked over with a smile: "Senior sister, don't worry about watching the excitement, I'd better buy it earlier and go back earlier." I was really afraid that someone would recognize me in this lively place.

Eunuch Chen once said that there are not many people who know that I am a monk in the Wuming Temple, so Xia Junlan naturally has the reason.

The senior sister wanted to watch the excitement, and the people whose eyes were glued to the stage would not leave, so she said, "Just go and buy it. Senior sister, don't go too far, or I won't know the way back later." gone."

"Hmm." I nodded.

I turned around and walked with Xia Juntang. Fortunately, there were many people. He walked with me like passers-by. No one would think that a nun would be accompanied by a man.

There are so many people who buy oil, salt and rice. If I were alone, I would definitely not be able to afford it, and the price at the end of the year is really not ordinary expensive. I am really not in charge. to what.

But Xia Juntang wouldn't let me pay the money, so he asked me to wait beside the crowd, and after a while hurriedly brought over a bowl of hot almond flowers from the tea shop nearby: "Warm your hands and stomach, and warm your stomach." What do you want to eat?"

I shook my head, holding the bowl and looking at him from the hot air, it was so gentle.

I took a sip, and the sweet warmth slipped into my throat.

There were a few pieces of sweet sesame candies in the oil paper, just at the corner of my eyes, he held them in front of me with one hand, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "You like to eat, come and taste, life will also be sweet to you." waiting."

Pick up a piece and put it in the sugar, it's really fragrant and sweet.

Has life really lost its bitter taste to me?

The waiter in the store personally brought out all the things I asked for and said, "My lord, everything is ready, and the eggs are also put in the rice."

"Okay." He nodded with a smile.

Then he turned around and told me: "From now on, I will boil an egg in the meal every night, and eat it when I am hungry in the middle of the night. If it is too complicated, Mrs. Huiqing will also criticize you."

"You see the teacher's mind too clearly, it's getting late, let's go back first."

He nodded in response, holding the rice in one hand, and pulling me away. There were indeed too many people, but suddenly fine snow fell in the sky. I looked up at the sky, and stretched out my hand to catch the falling snowflakes .

He also looked up at the sky: "It's the first time I feel that it's snowing, and it's not cold at all."

Close your eyes, let the crowd push us like this, walk around us, and hear the real joy in your ears, this is life.

I just think about it all the way, feel it for such a short time, I am not afraid that the crowd will squeeze me away.

"Zhiqiu, don't you look pretty?"

Stopping in front of a flower shop, the scorching peach blossoms bloomed extraordinarily beautifully and enchantingly in the drizzle.

I shook my head: "I don't want to."

"I'm asking you, is the flower beautiful?" His eyes were doting: "Why do you always reject the next sentence directly?"

"I know what you want to say, beautiful, but I don't want it. They say women are flowers, but I think women are not flowers, but branches."

He took the words: "In spring, you can have green leaves and beautiful flowers; in summer, you can have thick leaves that can provide shade; in autumn, you can bear abundant sweet fruits; and in winter, you can accumulate a branch of white snow. "

He is always the most caring, I bowed my head and sighed: "But in autumn and winter, the leaves are gone."

"Next year will be different and new shoots will bloom again."

"That's right." I laughed lightly.

As soon as the carriage stopped, someone came down to buy peach blossoms. It turned out to be the clothes of the father-in-law in the palace. He and I hurriedly lowered our heads to avoid it, but there were really too many people, and we had to wait for someone to move before we left.I can only pray that the father-in-laws will not find out that their heads are lowered, but their hands are still tightly grasped.

The father-in-law said in a sharp voice: "Shopkeeper, these peach blossoms are all given to our family, and they can be carried into the car."

"Hey, father-in-law, why do the palace like peach blossoms this year?"

A court lady then said: "Our empress likes it, the emperor loves us the most now."

"Sister Ru, you are right. Our lady Zhang is the most beautiful woman in the capital. Shopkeeper, hurry up. The peach blossoms must be fresh. The peaches are good luck and beautiful. Hurry up."

The beauties in the palace come in one after another, peach blossoms, hehe, I don’t know where the faces are, the peach blossoms are still smiling at the spring breeze, in the torrent, there is a person holding my hand, I am not afraid of getting lost, I will never be afraid of not being able to walk At the end, I am not afraid that I will let go of my hand halfway, and I will never be able to hold it back.

In fact, the palms of our hands are close to each other now, and there is only such a way. When we get out of this crowd, he and I can only be friends.

But when we got back there, we couldn't find the little senior sister, and we don't know where she went for fun?I looked at the crowd anxiously: "What should I do? It will be a disaster if I can't find it. Now it will snow for a while and she will be frozen."

He said comfortingly: "Don't worry, we are here waiting for her to come back. If there are so many people looking for her everywhere, it will be difficult for both parties to find her."

So we just stood there and waited for the little sister to come back from playing. The snow was getting heavier and heavier. At noon, Xia Juntang bought rice and the two of them found a shelter from the wind to eat, but in the afternoon, because of the heavy snow, people became more and more crowded It was rare, he was holding an umbrella, and we just stood on the snow and waited stupidly.

It's getting dark, but I'm anxious to death, what should I do now, the little senior sister has never traveled far, what if someone tricks her away?

Impatient, Xia Juntang and Xia Juntang found the end of the street again, calling along the way: "Little Senior Sister, Little Senior Sister."

Before anyone answered me, he said: "Then we can only go back first, don't make Master Huiqing worry too much."

In the dark, they went back supporting each other, and then went up to the temple, only to see two figures reflected on the window sill, one tall and one short, they were Mrs. Huiqing and Younger Sister.

Pushing open the door, the little senior sister said excitedly: "Junior Sister is back, Master, please don't punish Wuxiang anymore. Wuxiang is also afraid of getting lost. Hearing someone said that he wants to come here, Wuxiang has no choice but to come back first."

Mrs. Huiqing glanced at Xia Juntang behind me, sighed long, lowered her eyes and said: "It is destined, Jingxin, you send this benefactor."

"Yes." Men are not allowed to stay overnight in the temple.

Bringing a somewhat worn-out lantern: "Be careful when you go back, drink more ginger soup, it's cold enough today."

He reached out to pick up the lantern, but he held my hand. When I looked up at him, he moved back and took the lantern with a smile: "The road will be repaired in two days, Zhiqiu."

Yes, I know that.However, I don't want to leave here, and I don't want to make more troubles. Doesn't he know me best?Did he know it?

He said in a low voice: "After the winter, after the new year, it will be spring. Accompanying the branches to pass through the winter, that is her meditation, green leaves and beauty."

"Are you leaving?"

"Yeah." He nodded, sighed a little with a smile, breathed on the lantern, and his face was warm: "I have to leave, sometimes I really think, I don't know you, it's good that I have something to say like this It can be said without hesitation."

I laughed and looked up at the snow: "You go back first, be careful of slippery roads in snowy weather."

After all, he didn’t say anything. He wanted to see me go in before he left. I saw his lonely front figure leave from the window. What do I want? In fact, I don’t want him to dominate the world, I don’t want him Give me the most glorious and rich life, no need for slaves to live in large houses and wear the best clothes, I just want to have a bosom friend who will accompany me until I grow old.

I used to think about what kind of person to marry. I want to marry someone who can talk to me and share weal and woe with me, but I never thought that I would be a concubine.I have got my father's arrogant temper, I only marry one wife, and I hope that there will be someone who loves me, and I will only love one in my life, but I can be regarded as a concubine at most, and it is not my turn to be his queen. I can't even think about it.

I also know that that position will never belong to me, no matter how much he spoils me, I can only be regarded as a concubine.

I always knew that Xia Juntang would be my best destination. The life he gave me was what I dreamed of, but we really didn't cultivate enough of that fate.

Seeing that the lights were not in the dark, I also blew the candles and slept until dawn. I woke up very early in the morning, and the teacher and the younger sister hadn’t woken up yet. I heard the sound of someone walking on the snow, and I smiled in my heart. The person outside must be Xia Juntang, who presumably brought me breakfast.

I put on my clothes and saw a row of footprints. The white sky was still dark with some thick footprints in the snow. There were hot buns and porridge outside the room. I brought them in and ate them. My stomach was warm, so I went out to sweep the snow with a broom, and when I got to the steps, I saw him paving the road, smiled sweetly, and went in for morning class after sweeping the casual clothes.

I feel that I really don't deserve this name, and I don't deserve to be a nun. My heart is not clean and I have a lot of thoughts. I don't like loneliness.

In a few days, he will finish building the road, and then he will leave after the new year is warmer. In my spring, only I will not be afraid of the cold loneliness.After morning class, I went to sweep the snow. In the kitchen were fresh vegetables he bought. Mrs. Huiqing is a very wise person who can see through a lot of love and evil at a glance. She said me and named him Purify the heart, but the heart is not purified by the Buddha, but to be purified by oneself.I know, but I am really a person in the world, and I will never be able to cultivate the realm of Buddhism that is free from dust and supernatural.

At noon, he will also make a bowl of food for him, and he will stop to rest, playing his jade flute to the sound of the snow wind, very lightly, for fear of frightening the fragility of the snow, and afraid of letting the wind take him away. The melodious soul tune of the flute is gone.
