Chapter 40 Outing 3

Outside, the fish belly has turned white. In the morning, the slightly cool air is wrapped in the sweet fragrance of magnolia, and the temple rings the bells of the monks' morning class. Sister Jiu closed her eyes, squinted for a while, and took a deep breath.

The painting screen carefully opened the door and gently closed the door, still making a creaking sound. The ninth sister rubbed her cheeks and simply got up.

"Sister painting screen, what time is it now?"

"At the beginning of the day, you should sleep for a while, and then the maidservant will ask you to get up later." Seeing Sister Jiu getting up, the painting screen quickly put the falling quilt on Sister Jiu and couldn't help saying, "Although it's spring, it's still very cold in the morning, and there is no fire in the room. What if you are sick?"

Sister Jiu stretched out her little hand and looked at it for a while. Her palms were very small. Although they were still a little skinny, they already had blood-colored lines. "It's good to go to bed early and get up early. Besides, today we have to go to spring with the fourth sister. It's more convenient to prepare early."

She said with a smile, "I haven't seen what it looks like outside. I don't know how it's different from those who have seen the temple before." Or it can be said that it is different from the antique buildings I saw in the last life. Sister Jiu added silently in her heart.

The painting screen only thought that Sister Jiu finally had a child's heart, so he put the clothes on Sister Jiu, "Isn't it the same as our Zhejiang? What's the beauty? However, I heard from Jinxiu that there will be a temple fair outside the Pudu Temple on the 9th of every month, but you can buy some rare things in Chang'an.

No wonder the second wife will choose to come out at this time. In addition to stepping on spring, I think it is to let the ladies of Xuefu come out to play. It would be strange if these children's heart-hearted ladies are raised in the boudoir and there is no problem.

"Tomorrow is the 9th. Today, let's go to the back mountain to put paper kites. I heard that there is still a big Buddha in the back mountain, but we can go to worship." The ninth sister smiled with her eyes bent.

After washing up and leaving the meal for a period of time, Sister Jiu asked the painting screen to spread the pen, ink, paper and inkstone brought by and practice writing seriously. In less than half an hour, Yao's mother brought breakfast. After breakfast, it was also a quarter, but she still didn't see the fourth sister.

"Pain screen, let's find the fourth sister. Yao's mother, just stay here. If the second aunt has anything to say, she won't find anyone." The ninth sister's smile has a little unclear meaning.

"I know that when I have nothing to do, I will go to Deng's mother to make trouble." Yao's mother suddenly smiled and told her, "Painting screen, you have to take good care of the young lady. If you are not familiar with this place, don't let anything happen."

"Don't worry, isn't there a fourth sister? The second aunt is not willing to suffer from the fourth sister, right?" The painting screen is exciting, and I also understand a lot of things during these times in Xuefu.

The picture screen took the food box and specially brought some snacks that Sister Jiu liked. She happily followed Sister Jiu out, but she didn't think that the fourth sister also came out with Gui Qiu and Cai Wei.

"Ninth sister, I'm going to call you!" The fourth sister had a smile on her face. As soon as she came to the ninth sister, she took the ninth sister's hand and looked very close.

"The maidservant Caiwei has met the ninth sister!"

"Guiqiu, the slave maidservant, has met the ninth sister!"

The two maids took something in their hands and saw the ninth sister and saluted first.

"Why is it so noisy in the temple that it doesn't allow people to retreat. When it rains, go and see where the cats and dogs come from in the yard, and drive them out quickly. Suddenly, an angry shout came from the sixth sister's Zen room.

"I'm so angry, it's raining. You don't listen to me. Bring a stick and see how I **** it rains. Ziwei went out to have a look and drove away all the dirty things. Useless things!" The sixth sister almost roared out.

The corners of the ninth sister's lips rose. Isn't it obvious to scold her and the fourth sister? But after listening to these words, the maid named Luo Yu suffered.

"Where did the wild cats and dogs splash in the yard!"

The ninth sister raised her eyebrows and looked at the maid she had never seen before coming calmly. She glanced contemptuously at the fourth sister, and finally set her eyes on the side of the ninth sister and bent her legs. "The maidservant has seen the ninth sister and the fourth sister, can you see wild cats and dogs barking in this yard?"

There was a little provocation in her eyes.

"You--" The painting screen was about to open her, but Guiqiu pulled her and winked at the painting screen. The ninth sister also took a look at the painting screen, and the painting screen retreated angrily.

"Buddha is compassionate, perhaps adopted by the monks of the temple, and has left. Go back to the sixth sister and let her feel at ease.

The maid was stunned and couldn't see the anger on the ninth sister's face, so she retreated.

"Ninth sister, the sixth sister is too arrogant. Even a maid dares to treat you like this, at least--

What is it? Now I'm out of favor. The maid is not the only one who wants to get rid of the relationship with me in this house. She is just a dog. How many times have you been barked by the dog? Do you still have to bark at it? The ninth sister smiled and said that this was not deliberately hidden from the fourth sister.

Hearing what Sister Jiu said, although the painting screen was unhappy, he was no longer entangled in it, bulging his cheeks and not talking.

"Fourth sister, why haven't you seen that maid Jiu'er?"

The fourth sister stiffened her body and recovered in an instant. She said disdainfully, "Those two maids are the second-class maids next to the sixth sister, but they are more favored than that first-class maid, called Ziwei. She also has a sister named Ziyun, who is quite favored. Her mother also likes them. I heard rumors that her mother intended to carry the sisters to the third uncle as a concubine. The last sentence really lowered my voice.

The ninth sister suddenly felt that Ziwei had such an attitude. No wonder the third wife resented the second wife so much. Even the old lady may have acquiesced in this matter. She was suddenly in a very good mood, and her eyes were bent. Although she had not seen the purple cloud, Ziwei's beauty was superior, but the third wife would let them pass through the door? Will the third master accept both of them? Her impression of this third uncle was only on New Year's Eve, but she was not like a person who was greedy for beauty. If he is greedy for beauty, he will have several concubines before the string.

"Ninth sister, what are you laughing at!" The fourth sister is a little confused. She has already been in charge of the arrogance of Ziwei and Ziyun among the servants. Even if she is a concubine, she will make three points. Naturally, she will not be depressed for a few words for Ziwei, but the ninth sister is indifferent. Is she really as thoughtful as her aunt said?

"Nothing, let's go to the back mountain." Sister Jiu changed the topic.

Sure enough, the fourth sister stopped asking and took a group around a few paths and walked to the back mountain. There are not many people on the back mountain, but occasionally you can see three or five ladies playing with maids. The mountain road is much wider than Sister Jiu imagined, and there are pavilions for people to rest every ten miles.

"Oh, it was just delayed, and now there are more people." The fourth sister shouted regret.

The ninth sister replied with a shallow smile and said to herself: You didn't really bring me for an outing. Why do you care about the number of people?

But the scenery in the back mountain is really good. The sun has already hung in the sky. After walking for a while, it turned out to be a little wet behind. A few drops of sweat appeared on the tip of the fourth sister's nose, but the steps under her feet did not stop.

While enjoying the scenery around her, Sister Jiu thought about what would happen later.

"How about going to the pavilion over there to take a break?"

Sister Jiu came to her senses and saw someone flashing in the pavilion in the distance and nodded.

After walking a few times, she could clearly see Aunt Zhou and Mother Fu in the pavilion, but she didn't expect that her second aunt was having a good talk with Aunt Zhou.

"Fourth sister, why didn't you tell me that my mother and second aunt are also here?" Sister Jiu showed some reproach.

The fourth sister explained bravely, "I just thought my aunt would be here, but I didn't expect her to make an appointment to play with Aunt Zhou." She did feel a little guilty. After spending so much time with Sister Jiu, she could feel that Sister Jiu was sincere to her and didn't mean to dislike her at all, but now.

"Let's go together. After walking for so long, I'm a little tired!" Sister Jiu smiled faintly.

The fourth sister took a deep breath and felt the alienation of the ninth sister. She opened her mouth to explain, but found that she didn't even know that her biological mother would ask Aunt Zhou. She stared at the second aunt and bit her lips tightly.

"Jiu'er has met his mother and his second aunt!" The ninth sister half squatted.

Aunt Zhou looked kind and quickly stood up and let go of Sister Jiu's salute, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and I still miss you some time ago!"

"Thank you for your concern. Don't be sad at this time. After all, my father has left!" The ninth sister answered faintly, and her words revealed her melancholy.

"A sensible child!" Aunt Zhou praised her. Although she is an ordinary wife, she is no less than the mother-in-law of those big families.

In the eyes of outsiders, the ninth sister and Aunt Zhou are really kind and filial, which is not enviable. Aunt Zhou invited the ninth sister to sit next to her, and the second aunt said that she would not disturb their mother-daughter conversation, so she took the fourth sister away first.

Aunt Zhou winced at Fu's mother again, and Fu's mother quickly found a reason to let the painting screen pick some peach blossoms with her.

There are only nine sisters and Aunt Zhou left in the pavilion.

Aunt Zhou was not in a hurry to speak. She knew that she had fallen behind when she came out of the ninth sister. In the past two years, she had fought with the ninth sister everywhere, but she couldn't fight with a child. When she was in the Zhejiang house, the ninth sister knew to avoid its edge. Those servants only thought that the ninth sister had suffered a loss, but they didn't know that she had suffered a secret loss. There are still many nine sisters.

"If the common mother wants to take care of these shops, she will take good care of them!"

As soon as Aunt Zhou wanted to speak, she was blocked by Sister Jiu. She opened her mouth and looked at Sister Jiu in disbelief. She has been careful and prepared for a long time. She just wanted to hold the remaining three shops, but the ninth sister sent it directly to her door. What on earth did the ninth sister think?
