I want my green plum to become a phoenix (rebirth)

Wei Shi arranged for two carriages. Although everyone only went to Tan Hui Temple to stay for two nights, there was a lot of luggage that should be prepared. The luggage rack of the first carriage was filled with the things of the old lady alone. The belongings of Anise, Brother Ming, and Aunt Six had to be stuffed into the luggage rack of the second car.

Besides, all the nannies and maidservants who can keep up with the carriage also carried one or two bundles on their shoulders, and Huiniang took Banxia alone in the carriage behind, and there were more vacant seats in the carriage. , put a lot of things belonging to the old lady and brother Ming.

Sixth Yiniang and the nanny were already waiting in front of the second door with Brother Ming in their arms.Brother Ming is just about the age of a porcelain doll, and this time, Aunt Liu puts her heart into dressing up, and she wears little gadgets for Brother Ming, making her look even more cute.

"You girl, you really treat your son like a rag doll. How inconvenient is he in such bits and pieces?" The old lady kindly scolded the sixth aunt, and hurriedly called the nanny, "Hurry up and take the second young master into the car." Go, even though it’s already summer, there’s still some wind in the morning, and it’s always bad if it’s blowing.”

"You're so weak. The old lady hasn't got in the car yet, so there's no reason for him to sit in the car as a child." Sixth Yiniang greeted Wei Shi, and greeted Hui Niang, and then continued to greet her. The old lady acted like a baby.

After all, she grew up by her side, got along day and night, the old lady was more familiar with Liu Yiniang than she was with his wife, she reached out and nodded Liu Yiniang, and then got into the carriage with the help of the maid.Sixth Yiniang gave the nanny a wink, and when the nanny carried Brother Ming into the carriage, she said to Wei Shi: "There are slaves here, Madam, don't worry."

Mrs. Wei took a deep look at Liu Yiniang, and then smiled suddenly: "Okay, Liu Yiniang, you are the old man next to the old lady. This time when you go out, I will rely on you to take care of the old and the young."

Sixth Yiniang smiled slightly, and waited for Huiniang to also get into the carriage, then got into the carriage.

Although the carriage is big, the space in the carriage is limited. The old lady is sitting in the first carriage, and Sixth Yiniang is taking Brother Ming, and another nanny is going to follow her, so there is no room for maidservants in the carriage. We sat down.Zisu could barely find a place to sit on the shaft of the chariot, and the other maids could only walk beside the chariot.

There is still room in the car where Hui Niang was sitting, and Lian Qiao sat on the shaft of the car, turning her head to talk to the car from time to time.It's just that most of the people who answered her were Ban Xia, and Hui Niang ignored her, not out of concern for etiquette, but since she got in the car, she began to think about the look that Wei Shi and Bai Shu met just now.

Ordinarily, the Wei family is the mistress of the Shangshu Mansion, and the maid in an old lady's house in Baishu, so it is unlikely that there will be an exchange of interests between the Wei family.The old lady is getting old, so she has a strong sense of the maids around her. She treats everyone as her own daughter and granddaughter on weekdays. Unless it is the case of Animian, the old lady doesn't like to treat the people around her very well. Send it to the younger generation's house.Or maybe, it is to send her to be a roommate and aunt for her children and grandchildren—but if this is the case, then it is even more impossible for the Wei family to join forces with Baishu.

Hui Niang recalled that scene in her mind for a long time, and then suddenly thought: In her memory, Zisu was not sent to her elder brother Qin Jiarong to be a housemate in the end in the last life, but with the old lady's upbringing of her eldest grandson In terms of the kindness, degree of concern, and the relationship between the auntie and the old lady, one of the big maids in Qin Jiarong's room must be an old lady—she also clearly remembered that the old lady did take care of one of the maids around her. The maid was put in the eldest grandson's house...

"Sister Banxia," Hui Niang stretched out her hand and tugged on Banxia's sleeve, and said softly, "You and big brother...are you familiar?"

Ban Xia was stunned, and looked up at Hui Niang, only to see Hui Niang's eyes twinkling with innocence, in Ban Xia's eyes, it was just pure curiosity, without any intention of half-discrimination.She breathed a sigh of relief, and a slight smile appeared on her lips, "Why did the girl suddenly remember to ask about the young master?"

"It's just... I just remembered it all of a sudden." Hui Niang smiled embarrassedly, "Speaking of which, I've been here for two months, and apart from saying hello, I haven't spoken more than ten words to my elder brother. I just saw my second brother, Immediately I remembered my elder brother, I don’t know if my elder brother was so cute when he was a child.”

"When the eldest young master was young, the slaves hadn't come in to work yet." Ban Xia pursed her lips and smiled, "I just heard from my mother that the young master and the eldest young master looked alike when they were young. But my mother said, this kid, They all looked alike when they were young, but it’s hard to tell when they grow up—the eldest young master and the eldest girl follow the eldest aunt, with an oval face, and the sixth aunt has an oval face. If the second young master follows the sixth aunt, That's not like it."

"Brother is steady, not very talkative, is he? When I was in my hometown, there were always brothers from my cousin who were about the same age as my elder brother studying in my cousin's college. They were all naughty, and my uncle couldn't laugh or cry when he heard some things. , and severely punish them for copying books."

"My maidservant doesn't know much about the young master." Banxia hurriedly said, "My maidservant entered the mansion late. When she first entered the old lady's yard, Sister Zisu was already valued by the old lady. Why do you want to go east?" The errands of delivering things in the courtyard are usually done by Sister Zisu. Later, Aunt Liu served the master, and Sister Zisu would pass on any important things to the old lady, and I only took care of the affairs in the house and the yard. When Sister Zisu couldn't get away, it was Baishu who passed on the message to deliver things—the mulberry branches and mulberry leaves in the young master's room had a good relationship with Baishu."

now it's right!

Hui Niang's eyes flashed, she suppressed the excitement in her heart, and smiled brightly, "I'm just asking around—the birthdays of eldest sister and elder brother will be in two months, and I'm thinking about what to give them these days Well, I also think that if Sister Banxia knows what my eldest brother likes, I can prepare in advance..."

***

Few people went out of the city in the morning, and the number of people going to Tan Hui Temple was not as many as imagined. When the Qin family's carriage stopped in front of the mountain gate of Tan Hui Temple, it was only early in the morning.

The old lady led the crowd straight into the Daxiong Hall, knelt down on the futon to place the Buddha before getting up, and followed the Zhike monk to the guest courtyard on the back mountain.Important things such as giving, asking for amulets, offering scriptures, etc. must be carried out along with the ceremonies of the land and water ashram in the regular days. Except for kowtowing in front of the Buddha, the rest of the time can be used for rest or sightseeing.

The Qin family's pre-booked guest courtyard is Yizi No. [-], which is on the west side, and there is a forest next to it, all of which are planted with ginkgo trees. At the beginning of Xia, there was nothing to see. Hui Niang stood at the gate of the courtyard and took a look. Then he entered the yard with everyone.

The second and sixth courtyards are small and exquisite, only once you enter, the old lady lives in the east and west rooms of the main room with Liu Yiniang and Brother Ming, and Animiang takes the maids to live in the east wing room, and the other vacant room is used as the housekeeper's wife. place.The family servants are housed in another courtyard, and there are many monks in Tan Hui Temple, and the guards are extremely strict, so there is no need to worry about safety.

Hui Niang stood at the door of the East Wing for a while. Although the scenery here is different from that of Qin's Village, there is a sense of ease that makes her want to run and jump like she did when she was still in the village.It's a pity that the old lady's room is next to her. Standing in her position, she can vaguely see the figure of the old lady sitting on the kang drinking tea behind the window screen.

Before she could sneak back into the room, the window sash in the landlord's inner room was opened a little, and Zisu's voice came from inside the house: "Second girl, the old lady asked you, what are you doing standing in the yard? After a while, the monk will come to you." I'm going to bring you a vegetarian meal, so don't rush into it."

"I just want to stand in the yard for a while." Hui Niang quietly stuck out her tongue, then turned and returned to the east chamber.

Banxia and Forsythia are cleaning the house, Banxia is making bedding, and Forsythia is cleaning the teacups and teapots.The old lady would come to Tanhui Temple to live for a few days every year, and she never used the temple bedding. Ban Xia learned the rules of the old lady's house, and this time she also brought a set of fennel bedding when she came out. When she walked into the inner room, she had just finished making the bedding.

"Why did the girl come in? Didn't you say that the air outside is good, you want to smell it more?"

"The old lady said that the monk would bring the vegetarian meal later, so she let me go back to the house. When will the monk bring the vegetarian meal? I can go to the main house to accompany the old lady to have dinner."

"You, just eat in your own room with peace of mind." Ban Xia smiled, and seeing Hui Niang's puzzled expression, she explained in a low voice: "The old lady likes to come to Tan Hui Temple, because she likes to eat here in a clean and comfortable place." When there were juniors standing around to set the rules, the old lady felt less at ease—a few years ago, occasionally the older girl accompanied the old lady to come and live for a while, and they all ate their own food, and the old lady didn't pay much attention to the older girl. "

After these days, Hui Niang also noticed it a little bit—she couldn't help thinking, why didn't she see it in her previous life—the old lady is actually very difficult to please, she may value her eldest grandson, but she doesn't care about her wife. This eldest granddaughter, however, is not so fond of her.

Of course, Funiang is the most relaxed in the old lady's room, but if the old lady treats Funiang differently, Huiniang feels that it may not be so.otherwise……

Otherwise, how could the old lady keep silent on Fu Niang's marriage in the previous life, let the Wei family decide, and marry Fu Niang to her natal family?Even in terms of status, Fu Niang's husband-in-law is not as good as Chen Ke.

Unknowingly, Hui Niang fell into memories again. She only felt that many things that she hadn't noticed in her previous life, and she didn't understand when she was reborn, now had new interpretations.She didn't know whether it was good or bad for her, but in any case, it was better than ignorance.

She just sat there in a daze, and was not disturbed by the noises coming from the yard. It was Ban Xia who asked Lian Qiao to look at Hui Niang in the inner room, then went to the door of the outer room and leaned over to take a look outside, only to be surprised. Come back quickly, "Second girl, the young master is here."

"What did you say?" Hui Niang suddenly came back to her senses, "You said... the eldest brother is here?"

Ban Xia nodded, her face full of doubts, half reminding Hui Niang, half muttering to herself, "It's strange, the eldest young master has never been keen on praying to gods and Buddhas, why did you come here at this time?"
