There is a starving ghost in Qingyun Temple

Chapter 57 From the Past 02
Liu Wei was startled, a little confused and said: "Shen, Mrs. Shen, I'm confused, please give Mrs. Shen some answers."

"Awei, ahwei, you have a pure nature and know your mistakes and can correct them. This is a rare and valuable virtue. But your fault is not that you said the wrong thing and admitted your mistake yourself. This is the first mistake. It has been said since ancient times, men There is gold at your knees. As a brave and famous military general, you kneel down and admit your mistakes at every turn. This is the second mistake. Although you are young, you have been acting with the prince for many years, but you still act recklessly and rashly, without thinking twice before doing anything. , this is the third mistake, the biggest mistake."

The whole room was silent.

"Oh, Ah Wei, now that you know what happened to me as a human being and a ghost, I still refuse to accept my fate. But I see that you are a strong and strong young man, but you are still so timid, cowardly, and careless. I really hate that iron cannot become steel. Ah Wei, please get up, I have never blamed you from the beginning to the end, do you understand?"

After a long time, Liu Wei kowtowed three times, thanked Mrs. Shen for her teachings in a steady voice, and ran out of the house on his own.

Shen Huihe was not annoyed at all by his nonsense about people and ghosts. There were times when the young man was timid and talked nonsense.In the past, many people had seen her with such a terrifying appearance, and they all hated her, cursed her, and threw dirt around her, fearing to avoid her.It was rare for Liu Wei to come to apologize to her in person.

She was angry that he was always obedient, thought very little, and was difficult to achieve.

She shook her head helplessly, hoping Liu Wei could figure it out.

For the next few days, Shen Huihe stayed in the yard on the grounds that he was weak and had not recovered from a serious illness. Even his senior brother who came to visit was hastily driven away.

The day before yesterday, Huikong brought the precious Laizhou cherries that are only available at this time of the year. Yesterday, she brought the fragrant and delicious yellow croaker and chicken soup. Today, she also specially packed fresh meat wontons from a time-honored brand outside the south gate of Fuzhou City.

When Shen Huihe saw the rich food every day, he didn't say much and just enjoyed the food and took good care of himself.And since you can eat the time-honored wontons at Nanmenwai these days, I think the outside is gradually regaining its former lively vitality.

It’s midsummer in July, and it’s scorching hot.As the sunset faded and night fell, the gentle breeze finally brought a hint of coolness.The bamboo forest outside the courtyard rustled, the cicadas and birds on the big banyan tree in front chirped and hummed, and the occasional male and female pilgrim passing by outside the back wall whispered to each other.

At the bottom of the corridor, a young woman was leaning against a wooden pillar on the stone steps. She was wearing a smoky pink thin silk singlet stained with a bit of mud and dust on the stone steps. The loose sleeves on both sides were tied with cuffs. Forearm position.

She dusted the hem of her clothes carelessly, waving the cattail leaf fan in her hand. From time to time, she picked up the small gray-green glazed pine and bamboo pattern wine bottle placed on the steps, raised her head and took a few sips directly into the wine bottle.

Only in this way can the scorching heat in the yard be relieved a little.

Suddenly, she frowned and felt something strange in the bamboo forest outside the yard.

After a while, when she clearly saw the person who had turned over and landed on the ground from behind the high wall, she couldn't help but raise the corner of her lips, half-smiling, a little disgusted but also a little happy.

"I never thought that the noble and arrogant Prince of Jingbei would also like to do such shameful things as sneaking around and climbing over walls to find holes!" Shen Huihe stood up to greet him, folded his arms, and looked at him with a half-smile.

"Ms. Shen's every word is so resounding. I think she is almost in good health."

Li Yun didn't mind, he walked to her side in a swagger and stared at her face condescendingly.Although her face was still pale, she was much more energetic than that night.

Shen Huihe was startled, wondering what he was planning, and stared into his dark eyes not to be outdone. Those dark eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts, which made her gradually panic: "Prince, what are you staring at me for?" ?!”

"You can eat, drink, and talk back. You must have no worries after thinking about it." After Li Yun finished speaking, he sat down on the steps and handed her a small box wrapped in brown paper. pack.

"What is this?" Shen Huihe leaned forward and smelled the smell of shortbread. He suddenly smiled and said, "Is it delicious?" "The new cherry birch from Fanlou."

She didn't see anyone else, she untied the kraft paper in three clicks, picked up a piece of cherry birch cake and started eating: "It's good, it tastes really good! Prince, do you want to try it?"

She handed the brown paper forward. Li Yun was startled and shook his head expressionlessly. When he lowered his eyes, he saw the wine bottle beside her: "You dare to drink just after you recover from a serious illness. Isn't Mrs. Shen too disrespectful of her own health?" I take my body seriously.”

Shen Huihe was startled. How could he feel that he could hear some concern and blame in his words? When he thought about it, he couldn't help but tremble.

God, how could I have such ridiculous thoughts? !

"That's right, Your Majesty, you have always been cautious and foresighted. Whether I am really sick or pretending to be ill, Your Majesty must see it with your own eyes in order to feel at ease. Tonight, Your Majesty saw with your own eyes that I am safe and sound. I don't know whether Your Majesty is happy or not. Are you happy?"

Shen Huihe finished eating the cherry bilo in his hand, and picked up the gray-green glazed wine bottle on one side to take a sip, but the man in front of him pressed the back of his hand: "Shen Huihe, this prince said, don't drink! "

Shen Huihe was startled. There was a bit of softness in his dark and scrutinizing eyes.

"Your Majesty, you——"

Li Yun pressed tightly on the back of her hand holding the wine bottle, showing no intention of letting go: "No matter what Madam Shen thinks, drinking alcohol is harmful to your health."

She pursed her lips and suddenly chuckled innocently: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, but well, this is not wine."

"But this smell of alcohol-"

"This is a sweet glutinous rice made specially for me by Fourth Junior Brother. It tastes like wine but is not wine. It relieves heat and thirst, appetizers and relieves fatigue. It is most delicious."

Li Yun was stunned for a moment and slowly let go of his hand.

Shen Huihe took off the lid of the wine bottle and let him confirm it with his own eyes, then raised his head slightly and took a big sip.

After putting the lid on the jug, she handed the jug in front of him: "The sweet fermented rice brewed by my fourth junior brother is really authentic. It tastes like my mother-in-law made it."

Li Yun's eyes narrowed slightly. Sweet fermented glutinous rice wine is a popular household drink in the Longyou Dao area. It is not very common in this southern area and is mainly made from drinking fermented grains.

"Is your mother-in-law a Taoist from Longyou?"

Shen Huihe was startled, and then he realized that he had made a mistake.

She looked at Li Yun, then at the wine bottle in her hand, then changed the subject and said, "Thank you for the snacks, Your Majesty. However, I'm afraid that His Majesty came to look for me secretly tonight not just to see if I was seriously ill. ?”
