Chapter 22 Fast
Yu Wenrong was looking forward to Yuan Xiu's return to the palace and was quick to do things. The next day, Pingjin took Zheng Man'er to Qing Wangguan, first went to see Xuanhong, and then went straight to Yuan Xiu's place.
In the guest room, Yuan Xiu was still thinking about the Big Cave True Sutra. Zheng Man'er opened the door first and shouted happily, "Aunt Jiu, I don't think you have seen anyone for more than ten days, and you don't go to see me anymore. It turns out that you have hidden here!"
Yuan Xiu couldn't help but be stunned and put down his pen, but saw that Pingjin also followed: "Xiaojiu is also here?" Pingjin's face was surprised, but Yuanxiu couldn't figure out her intention: "Why is the eldest sister here?"
"Isn't it barbaric?" Pingjin smiled and pointed to Zheng Man'er, "A long ago, Empress Dowager Zhaoxian passed away. She felt cold and was so ill that she couldn't go to say goodbye, so she has been worried about it. Now that she is well, I think Jingling is far away, not that she can easily worship, so I took her to the Taoist temple presided over by the Third Emperor's Aunt. Come and have a few sticks of incense and fast for three days.
"Man is really careful." Yuanxiu was confused. She couldn't see that Zheng Maner had such feelings for Zhaoxian, so she asked, "But there is Sanqing Hall in the Daming Palace. Why does the eldest sister give up the near and seek the distance?"
This problem is difficult for Pingjin, who has been prepared for a long time: "Oh, you don't know, Goro has moved back to the east the day before yesterday."
Yuanxiu immediately stopped. Fengchun did not like Empress Dowager Zhaoxian. It seemed that Pingjin also knew it, so he did not take Zheng Man'er to Sanqing Hall to sacrifice, and even the Taoist temple in the city, but deliberately ran outside the city. This explanation made a point.
She dissipated the suspicion that Pingjin's mother and daughter were picking blue and green, and then cared about them: "Three days of fasting? Then I'm going to live in Guanzhong. The eldest sister didn't say it earlier. I also asked me to pick blue and green to clean it up for you first. The guest rooms here are dilapidated because there are few people coming to live in. I think in addition to my room, a few rooms next to me are afraid of leaking in rainy days.
Zheng Maner listened and said with interest: "Isn't that similar to Ziyu Pavilion?"
"But it's not that interesting." Yuanxiu warned, "There is still some cold now. Besides, if you are covered with water in the middle of the night, you won't feel funny."
"It doesn't matter, but in three days." Pingjin looked up at the sky outside the window, "It may not rain in these three days."
Because it was a fasting, Pingjin mother and daughter also brought four maids to watch, plus blue and green, and rushed to clean up a few rooms next to Yuanxiu.
Zheng Man'er pestered Yuan Xiu and wanted to sleep with her. Yuan Xiu was forced to but agree to her.
This lively niece lived here, and Yuanxiu's copying of scriptures was naturally impossible. Zheng Man'er was the only daughter. During this period, because of Empress Dowager Zhaoxian, she had a feast in the clan, and her contact with other princesses and county magistrates also decreased. She was so bored that she suddenly met Yuan Xiu, who was of the same age and was interested. Bong, talk about it. It took Feilang two hours to catch a mouse a few days ago, and use another hour to describe the fear when he saw the half-dead mouse, and in order not to hurt Feilang's heart, he had to endure nausea and praise it--
"Ninth aunt, you don't know. After that, I asked someone to wash Feilang in Aiye water for half an hour, and Feilang was washed so much that he couldn't even scream!"
"Well, how can there be mice in the eldest princess's house?" Yuan Xiu asked perfunctorily.
Zheng Maner said, "It seems to have been caught from other places."
"This is not good. Feilang's fur alone is worth a lot of money. You can let it go out randomly and don't let anyone catch it." Yuan Xiu reminded.
"No." Zheng Maner was very confident, "Flyang is very clever. Besides, he raised it for hunting. If it is useless and is caught and peeled, he will not make a fool of me on the hunting ground!"
Yuan Xiu thought, "We can't catch up with the spring hunt. Maybe we can participate in the autumn hunt, but how many mascons do you have? Don't bring it without it."
"I raised Feilang myself, because it was the most beautiful." Zheng Maner said, "But my mother asked people to raise a few more, which are easy to tame, so don't worry." With that, she seemed to remember something, "Aunt Jiu doesn't seem to have a lyroach?"
Yuan Xiu sighed: "I was young before, and I could only see it when I went hunting, so I simply didn't raise it."
"Empress Dowager Zhaoxian is too careful." Zheng Maner has always spoken directly. Yuan Xiu knew this and had no strength to care about her, so he heard her sympathize, "I will choose the good one for the ninth aunt later, or will the ninth aunt start to raise it now?"
"Let's talk about it later." Yuan Xiu dealt with it lightly.
Pingjin and Zheng Man'er really ate three days of vegetarian food in Qing Wangguan, added the spiritual position of Empress Dowager Zhaoxian, and went to a column of fragrance every day. On the fourth day, Yuanxiu sent someone to ask Pingjin if she needed to help her clean up.
It wasn't long before I saw Pingjin coming with Zheng Man'er: "You were thinking of asking us to clean it up, but why did you forget it?"
Yuan Xiuqi said, "What should I clean up?"
"You said that day that the guest room was simple. Looking at the weather, it may rain in the next two days. How can you still live here?" Pingjin never mentioned Yuanxiu's monks and said righteously, "When can't you hold a fast?" Just go back with us. Man'er has been sticking to you for the past three days, and I'm afraid that he can't bear it for a while. Why don't you just follow me to Changlefang and clean up this grinder for me!"
Zheng Man'er also chatty and wanted to pull Yuanxiu to get up.
Yuan Xiu was stunned for a long time, and then understood: "Sister, do you think I'm a three-year-old child? So you have to fool me back?"
"If you don't go back, will you still think it's true?" Pingjin's spicyness is better than Changyang's. If it hadn't been for listening to the persuasion of fish hydrocarbons when I came, I would have directly pulled people as early as the first day. How could I have any intention of eating vegetarian food here for three days? Now that I can't pretend to have nothing to coax Yuanxiu away, I simply said, "I've never seen a golden branch like you!" Yunzhou said that he was annoyed with you. What if you were unhappy? Unexpectedly, he came to be a monk, and it was rumored that you were not even as good as Yi'an!"
When she said this, Yuanxiu suddenly couldn't step down and said angrily, "I have to live here for a long time. The third aunt has promised me to read through the Great Cave True Sutra and the Huangting Sutra, she will officially accept me!"
Pingjin doesn't eat this trick: "The third aunt is just coaxing you, thinking that the time for you to read through these two volumes of scriptures should be awake, but I'm afraid you are stupid to read here alone!"
"I won't leave!" Yuanxiu simply played tricks.
Pingjin narrowed his eyes and looked at Zheng Man'er. Zheng Man'er was interested. He came forward and hugged Yuanxiu's arm and said with a smile, "Well, Aunt Jiu won't leave, and I won't leave. I'll ask my mother to go back alone. How about I stay here with Aunt Jiu?"
Yuanxiu didn't expect Pingjin to do this. In the past three days, Zheng Man'er pestered her to faint. Not to mention copying scriptures, she didn't even have a moment of free time. She wanted to endure it for three days and send them away, but she didn't expect that Pingjin failed to deceive her back in a muddle, but she used this killer mace and was stunned and said, "Here How can you stay with such a hard time?"
"It doesn't matter. Aunt Jiu can stand it, and I can do the same." Zheng Man'er smiled, but after listening to his mother's words, he must spend time with her.
Yuanxiu secretly shouted a headache, but she was not willing to be killed by Pingjin so easily. She caught a glimpse of Pingjin looking at herself with a smile and gritted her teeth: "Okay! If you want to stay, stay!"
Sure enough, Zheng Man'er was stunned when he saw her so simply and subconsciously looked at his mother.
Pingjin's smile remained unchanged and said, "Since both of you stay, although you are here, it's not the princess's house, and you can't be too naughty. I'll tell you to come out."
Yuan Xiu only hoped that Zheng Man'er, who was spoiled, could not suffer, or Pingjin was reluctant to give up the pearl in his palm and came back to tell her that he had changed her mind. Unfortunately, Zheng Man'er went out doubtfully, but when he came in, his eyes were shining, firmly saying that he would accompany her to the end!
Yuan Xiu curled the corners of his mouth, but listened to Pingjin say, "Man, you go to the next door and have a look. If you have anything to leave, don't ask them to clean it up."
Zheng Man'er agreed to go. Pingjin looked at the blue and green again. Yuan Xiu nodded and waited for the two to go out. Ping Jin said solemnly, "Man'er has to stay here for a few days."
Yuan Xiu wondered, "Isn't it just for me that the eldest sister kept her?"
"Alas!" Pingjin sighed resently, "You and my sister, just say it directly... Xiannu is evil. Now the two are making a lot of trouble. You know that Man'er's surname is Zheng, and he is not very harmonious with Kuanzhi. On the contrary, he is closer to Xiannu. I want to send her away for a while, wait for the matter in the house to be dealt with, and then pick her back."
Yuan Xiu said to himself, Zheng Man'er was six years old when Wei Tan left you and Zheng Yu, so Zheng Yu treated her well. How could he not help his father? Moreover, although Wei Tan is a dandering, at least he is also a son of the Wei family. Even if his wife is a princess, she openly raises such an excellent fairy slave. Tong was laughed at when he was at home. It is rare for him to endure it until today.
However, Pingjin is his sister, and it is difficult for Yuanxiu to say these words, so he asked, "What's going on? How can it be openly?"
"Not long ago, on Xiannu's birthday, I accompanied him for one night and gave him the gift of the previous emperor. As a result, I was so annoyed that I wanted to drive him away." Pingjin said helplessly, "Man'er is sandwiched in it to support the fairy slave. It's messy and not easy to clean up. We are the one who will take you under the cover. She agreed to accompany you here. Don't spill the beans and help the eldest sister this time."
"I'm afraid that what the elder sister said is not to accompany, but to grind." Yuan Xiu curled his lips and said, "It's okay to hide it from Man, but I don't want to go back for a short time!"
Pingjin heard what she said for a short time, instead of being a monk before. He also smiled secretly and nodded, "Let's talk about this later, but it's rude. Zi is lively. Although Qing Wangguan is near Huangzhuang, at the foot of Chang'an Tianzi. Generally speaking, there will be no accident, you'd better not go out to watch, lest she cause trouble with your third aunt!"
Yuanxiu didn't care: "She won't stay for a few days."
