Ninefold Purple

Xiangshan in September is full of green trees. From a distance, Ganlu Temple seems to be wandering in a green wave.

Dou Zhao and the others changed into soft sedan chairs at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain, and went to Ganlu Temple along the spacious bluestone steps.

Jiang Yan lifted the car curtain, and greedily breathed the chilly air, feeling that she was alive.

She heard Ruotong, who was beside the sedan chair in front of her, said to Ganlu with a smile: "Sister, this temple has the same name as you. Who gave you this name? It's so nice!"

Ganlu snorted at her, and proudly said: "My name is given by Aunt Cui. Aunt Cui said, may I be like a drop of water in the clean bottle in Guanyin's hand, except for the dirt in my heart. , but also be able to moisten others.” [

Ruotong asked curiously: "Who is Aunt Cui'grandma'?"

"Yes," Ganlu paused before saying, "It's Madam's concubine."

Ruotong couldn't help sticking out her tongue, and hurriedly said, "What about Sister Sujuan? What is she?"

"It means the same as me." Ganlu laughed, "Let's avoid troubles, and our hearts are like mirrors. Don't be fooled by those riches and honors, and forget who we are."

Ruotong let out a cry of dissatisfaction, and said, "Why does everyone turn red when it comes to us?"

"Isn't red good?" Ganlu smiled, "Red is the most solemn and dignified. You are served by my wife. The name is just right."

Dou Zhao in the sedan chair couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

The names of several servant girls are also her experience.

When she first came to the capital, my grandmother was afraid that she would be bullied, and hoped that the maids and women around her would be loyal to her; when Ganlu and the others reached the age of leaving the government, she had already established herself in the British government. Heels, what you are looking for is no longer loyalty and obedience, but the bearing of the head of the house; and then the little maid who came in later.They are all named after the word "Fu", and the servant girl is no longer a dependent person for her.

In the future, what name will she give the maids?

While thinking about it, Ganlu Temple arrived.

When they got off the sedan chair, the host and monk Zhike were already waiting in front of the mountain gate.

After seeing the ceremony, the presiding officer who was over forty years old avoided, and the Zhike monk who had passed the fateful year took them to visit the Ganlu Temple.

The two sumac trees in Zhuzhou in front of the Daxiong Palace are as thick as a hug, although they are hundreds of years old.But still luxuriant branches and leaves, bright as fire.

Jiang Yan and others praised.

The monk Zhike talked about the history of these two trees - how the Ganlu Temple was destroyed by the war and how it was rebuilt, but the two sumac trees still stand...

The story was tortuous and interesting, and Jiang Yan and others listened with gusto.

This is what monk Zhike, who is new to Ganlu Temple, must say.Dou Zhao had heard it several times in his previous life.As soon as Monk Zhike opened her mouth, she knew what was going to happen next, but seeing the expressions of amazement and astonishment on the faces of Jiang Yan and others, she was in a very happy mood.

They played in Ganlu Temple for a while, and stayed in Ganlu Temple at noon to have a fast meal and take a lunch break. [

Dou Zhao felt a little tired, so he walked around the courtyard twice to get rid of his food.Just rest.

Jiang Yan, however, felt full of energy, and pulled Jiang Lizhu to the release pond next door to watch turtles and jinyu.

Although the Miao family is in a difficult family situation, the children of the Miao family are still well-behaved.It was rare for Miao Ansu to go out before she got married, but now that she finally came out, she really wanted to take a walk with Jiang Yan and the others, which shows that Dou Zhao has rested.She was also afraid that the servants would think her behavior was frivolous and look down on her.After thinking about it, he smiled and said goodbye to Jiang Yan, and went back to the wing room arranged for her.

The surroundings were quiet, Miao Ansu closed her eyes, but she couldn't fall asleep.

At this time, the ears are particularly sensitive.

She heard the light footsteps of a servant girl passing under the veranda in front of her wing, and someone called "Sister Fu Ye" in a low voice, and said, "What do you want to do here?"

At this time, the masters all rested, Fu Ye's voice was also very low, and said: "Did you bring needles and thread? Sister Ruotong's sleeve was torn just now."

It was Miao Ansu's little maid named Liu Hong who was talking, and said with a smile, "I have a needle and thread with me, but the second wife has already rested, so I have to ask Sister Fuye to wait here."

"It doesn't matter." Fu Ye was very polite, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Liu Hong said some polite words, then tiptoed into the house, and after a while, she came out with a sewing kit.

Miao Ansu pouted.

It is said that Mrs. Dou is a good royal, but when she is out, the maid beside her doesn't even bring a sewing kit, what kind of good is that?This is really the tiger in the mountain, and the monkey is the king.If the mother-in-law was still alive, Song Mo would not have been established as a son so early. If there are more brothers in the Song family, there may not be a time when her Dou family will dominate.

This is really rich and noble, it's not in the slightest!

Just like this Fuye, who is only in her teens and hasn't combed her hair yet. Because Dou Zhao is serving by her side, even her big maid will respect her as "sister" when she sees her.

She was thinking wildly.

Fu Ye came to return the sewing kit.

Liu Hong smiled and said, "My sister sewed it up so quickly?"

"My hands and feet are fast." Fu Ye smiled and said with emotion, "You are really careful. We always remember to bring a sewing kit when we go out, but we forget about it when we go out." She Hee hee authentically, "Sister Ganlu taught me a lesson just now, saying that if I'm still so careless next time, I'll be transferred to the front yard to clean the toilet."

Her tone was brisk, obviously she didn't take what Ganlu said to heart.It can be seen that Dou Zhao treats people very generously.

"Sister, thank you." Liu Hong said to her politely with a little envy, "I worked in the second wife's house since I was a child, and our second wife taught me well."

Miao Ansu was very pleased to hear that.

Fu Ye nodded again and again, agreeing: "Second Wife is a good person at first glance, but it's a pity that she married Second Master..." Before she finished speaking, she was startled and covered her mouth. [

It's a pity it's too late.

Liu Hong was shocked.

Fu Ye waved her hands in panic: "I, I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything!"

She turned and ran away.

Liu Hong was dumbfounded.

Miao Ansu in the room felt as if her heart was overwhelmed.

She jumped up and sat up, shouting "Liu Hong" loudly, wanting Ji Hong to give Liu Hong a few taels of silver: "Use this money to buy snacks and flowers and the like, and put on that brush well." Ye, let's see what the second master has done in the past?"

Liu Hong responded and took the money.

But here is Ganlu Temple.Even if there is silver, who can I entrust to buy it at the foot of the mountain?

If you want to set up Fuye, you have to wait until you return to the British government.

Miao Ansu felt like being caught by a cat, and couldn't be at peace for a moment.

Jiang Yan and Jiang Lizhu had a good time.

The Zhike monk in the temple saw that they were interested in the things in the release pool, so he sent two young novice monks to serve them, and brought some dry steamed buns to feed them, causing a group of fish to scramble to squeeze in front of them. on the water.

The two sat in the gazebo next to the release pond and fed the fish.

Jiang Yan accidentally looked up, and saw a familiar figure standing outside the courtyard gate from a distance.

Shocked, she pointed to the distance and told Yinghong: "Go and see what's going on?"

Yinghong responded and left.He quickly turned back and said, "It's Mr. Chen from the Fusi of Jinyiwei Town. He heard that Madam is climbing here, so I came here to say hello to Madam. Wu Yi said that Madam is taking a lunch break, so Mr. Chen decided to wait..."

Jiang Yan was taken aback.Said: "Why is Mr. Chen here?"

Yinghong didn't know, so she ran to ask again, and came back to report: "Master Chen is out of the city on business, passing Xiangshan."

Jiang Yan's expression was a bit complicated.

Jiang Lizhu stroked her shoulder and said softly, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Yan thought for a while, then told Jiang Lizhu some things with his ear, and said hesitantly: "I want to help him find out about my uncle. No, it's Li Liang's news... At least let Li Liang know that I was in Song Dynasty. The family is doing well."

Jiang Lizhu can understand Jiang Yan's mood very well.

She thought for a while and said, "Then I'll accompany you to ask!"

Jiang Yan was overjoyed.I thanked Jiang Lizhu again and again, and told her repeatedly: "Don't tell my sister-in-law, I'm afraid they will be sad."

"Your sister-in-law is not such a stingy person." Jiang Lizhu smiled, "However, I think my cousin is stingy. Just be careful not to let my cousin know."

Jiang Yan defended his brother: "He is angry at me for being bullied and is grateful to others. But if there is no Li Liang, I don't know how much suffering I would have suffered when I was a child? Just relying on this. I can't resent him."

"It's good that you are like this." Jiang Lizhu smiled, "I always hate in my heart, and I will inevitably not be affected, and gradually become hateful."

She thought that after the family change, some sisters felt unjust and always complained, and it turned out that they seemed to be different people, so she always warned herself.

Jiang Yan finally found someone who would not reprimand him, and immediately felt like meeting a confidant.

When she was talking to Chen Jia, Jiang Lizhu was standing on the steps not far from them.

Facing the expectation in Jiang Yan's eyes, Chen Jia endured it so that he didn't show any strange expression.

Song Mo made Wei Quan, He Hao, and He Qingyuan look so bad, how could he let Li Liang go?

Li Liang's whole family is now in military households, and they live in a [-]-household house below Tianjin Wei. If they don't farm, they won't have food. The whole family may not be able to earn one-third of Li Liang's income as an accountant after a year of hard work. However, those hundreds of households were also ordered to monitor Li Liang's family. Li Liang never thought of earning a penny through other means.Several children's studies were also interrupted, and Li Liang and the others were able to teach the children how to read and write.Others might leave the guard post through amnesty or something like that, but Li Liang was a military household who voluntarily joined for fear of being retaliated by Song Mo. It is impossible for his children and grandchildren to become good civilians...is this good or bad?

Looking at Jiang Yan's eyes as clear as water, Chen Jia felt a splitting headache.

Tell her the truth?

With her temperament, she would only hide in the quilt and cry secretly.

Don't tell her?

If one day she finds out that she has lied to her, she will definitely hate herself.

Chen Jia regretted coming to greet Dou Zhao very much.

It was just a greeting to impress Mrs. Dou. When Mrs. Dou returned to the city, she would "encounter" her on the road. Why did she have to wait here for Mrs. Dou to wake up?

He weighed it over and over again, and finally had no choice but to bite the bullet and smile: "Li Liang is very good in Tianjin Wei. After adding the military status, his children and grandchildren will be able to eat imperial food. The only thing is that it is not good. A few mu of land is divided and you have to cultivate it yourself. , it’s not as good as being an accountant in the past.” To be continued)
