Shen Yi's Darkness and Depression

Chapter 2 Lingkong Temple

"Xueqing, Xueqing..." Steward Cao ran over out of breath. He had been looking for the young lady all morning, and finally met the young lady's personal servant girl.

"Housekeeper Cao, what's the rush this morning? Your legs and feet are very inconvenient. If you fall down again, the lady will definitely scold me." Xue Qing has always respected this big housekeeper, and she belongs to herself among the maids. She was taken care of more, although it was for her master's sake, but Xueqing was still worried about this elderly person from the bottom of her heart.

Some time ago, Butler Cao accidentally sprained his ankle because of anxiety, and it was just better here, Xue Qing said worriedly, "You~ the most important thing is to take care of your body now!"

"Xueqing, where's Miss? I've been searching for a long time. I've searched the whole house several times, but I haven't seen Missy. Where did you two go this morning? I don't know what to say. I'm going to be a sad old slave." Cao Butler said with a haggard face.

"Miss, I went out very early. She said she was going to Lingkong Temple and I wanted to go with her, but she didn't agree. She also said she wanted to be alone. I was afraid of disturbing her, so I didn't go with her." Xue Qing I thought, could it be something big?
Because Xueqing has never seen Steward Cao look so sad. No matter what happens on weekdays, this housekeeper is as stable as Mount Tai. Even in the face of the grumpy master, he can calmly deal with it. What's wrong today?
"Miss, before leaving, can you tell me when you will come back?" Seeing Xueqing's unhurried expression, Steward Cao asked anxiously.

"This... I didn't dare to ask. You know, our young lady has a very bad temper recently. I don't think she has a smile all the time, so I don't dare to ask any more questions." Every time she accompanied the young lady to the temple Will not stay long.

But Xueqing felt that the young lady was in a bad mood today, and she might be able to come back sometime, so she didn't dare to talk to Steward Cao, because she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear it if something was delayed.

"Xueqing, hurry up and go to Lingkong Temple and get Miss back as soon as possible. Lord Murong has come and said that he has something important to discuss with Miss." Steward Cao repeatedly urged to hurry, Xueqing knew that Lord Murong was usually on business. Busy, every time I come in a hurry, there won't be a long delay.

"Well, I'll try my best." After Xueqing finished speaking, she ran towards the gate of the side mansion, and disappeared from Butler Cao's sight after turning a corner. Time passed so fast, even Xueqing had grown up so much.

I remember that when Xueqing first came to the mansion, she was still a child. She curled up at the gate of the mansion to keep warm in the snowy and cold weather, wearing a thin layer of coarse cloth full of patches. When her slaves found her, Xueqing almost fainted I saw that the two dark eyes were out of proportion to the thin face.

The old lady thought that the child was a miserable person and wanted to send some money away. If the lady didn't think she was pitiful and tried her best to keep her, the child would have starved to death on the street long ago.

Hey, ten years have passed in a flash, and even the young lady has reached the age of marriage. Thinking of this, Steward Cao can't help but sigh that time is not forgiving. Ten years ago, I walked like flying, but now I am so clumsy that I can't keep up with it every year. He can trip himself up when he walks fast, and sometimes he suspects that he is not old but sick.

Xueqing had to rest for a while after running for a certain distance. She was always teased by the lady that her body was as thin as a paper. If there was a strong wind, she would have to be pulled by a thread to go out. Today, the distance of such a few miles made her feel tired. So weak, if the young lady saw it, she should blame her for not doing exercises with her.

The master used to always say that young lady, a good daughter's family dances with swords all day long, and doesn't imitate Xueqing's quietness. At that time, I only thought that the master was teaching young lady a lesson. In fact, think about it carefully, what is there to be like young lady? not good?A strong and independent woman will give people another sense of beauty.

Xueqing finally saw the Lingkong Temple on the top of the mountain. Every time she came here, she would accompany the lady to play and relax, so she was always attracted by the deep scenery here. But today, the time was short, so she went up the steps in three steps at a time. Step through the huge gate, pass through the magnificent main hall, follow the left promenade to the end, and turn around the backyard.

I saw the slender figure in a green gauze staring at the luxuriant Gongsun tree in a daze, as if thinking about something, the ginkgo fruits garnished among the dark green fan leaves seemed to be jingling in clusters Silver bells, rustling in the breeze.

The branches flicker, the fruits gather, the wind blows without a trace, and the leaves rustle;
