Chapter 18 Huzhuang

Early in the morning on the third day of April, while Jiang Yixi was still sleeping, there was a knock on the courtyard door. It was Jiang Xun. The old lady asked Jiang Xun to send Jiang Yixi to Zhuangzi.

Jiang Yixi felt happy, it was great to have a caring and annoying younger brother.

Today we had breakfast earlier than usual. As soon as the two siblings finished eating, Mrs. Jiang San came over with Jiang Yirou.

Mrs. Jiang San gave Jiang Yixi twenty taels of silver, Jiang Yirou gave a piece of satin, and also gave Jiang Yishan two pieces of loppa.

Jiang Yixi didn't expect Jiang Yishan to give her something, so she smiled and said, "Thank you third aunt, fourth sister, thank fifth sister for me."

Mrs. Jiang San said, "Be careful in the countryside and take more people with you when you go out. If you encounter trouble, report your third uncle's name. Wherever your third uncle's military camp is, you can always scare some people..."

Jiang Yixi agreed one by one.

It's still early, the old lady didn't get up yet, she agreed to leave directly yesterday.

Jiang Yixi and his servant Wangfu were in a carriage, and Jiang Xun and his servant Wangfu were in a carriage, and the other two mule carts were filled with things.

The car drove for more than two hours and arrived at Huzhuang at early noon.

It was Jiang Yixi’s first time here in his past life and this life.

After getting off the car, there was a second courtyard in front of me, with white walls and black tiles, hidden among green trees and bamboos.

Not far away is a village, surrounded by large fields with criss-crossing paths. Past the fields to the east is the green mountain range Qingluo Mountain.

Standing here, you can vaguely hear the crowing of chickens, barking of dogs, and the laughter of children from the village. You can also vaguely see the cornices in the woods at the foot of Qingluo Mountain, which should be Zhaoming Temple.

Uncle Wu and his two sons Wu Yougui and Wu Youfu were already kneeling in front of Jiang Yixi and Jiang Xun.

"This slave has met the second girl and the second master."

Jiang Yixi met Uncle Wu and Wu Youfu not often, but Wu Yougui more often. Wu Yougui was only more than half a year older than Jiang Yixi. When he was a child, Grandma Wu would occasionally let him stay in the house for a few days.

Seeing Uncle Wu's honest smile, Jiang Yixi felt close to her. In her previous life, Uncle Wu seemed to have died after she became a monk. She didn't know how or when he died. Jiang Xun told her when he went to the nunnery to see her.

If I was unlucky in my previous life, my slaves would also be unlucky.

Jiang Yixi smiled and said, "Uncle Wu, there are rich brothers and noble brothers, get up."

Jiang Xun also rewarded each of them with a purse containing silver coins and said, "Serve my sister well from now on."

Uncle Wu smiled naively and said, "That's right." He glanced at Jiang Yixi and Jiang Xun, then said with red eyes, "The second girl looks more and more like the second lady, and the second master also looks more and more like the second master."

Jiang Xun touched his face and chuckled, "Yes, they all say that. They also say that my sister is the most handsome young lady and I am the most handsome youngster."

Jiang Yixi smiled and said "Skin is thick" and pulled him into the yard.

Zhuangzi is quite large. In addition to the back room, there are also east and west wing rooms when you enter. Uncle Wu's family lives in the west wing, and the kitchen, woodshed, and warehouse are in the back room. When you enter the master's room, they are all locked until they come. There are five upper rooms.

room, and three east and west wing rooms.

Although the house is simple, it is kept spotless.

Cleaning the house and cooking are done by the tenant farmer's daughter-in-law, Aunt He, and her daughter. They are one of the most efficient farm women in the village. Aunt He's daughter, He Erniang, is also Wu Youfu's fiancée and will get married next year.

Jiang Yixi moved into the landlord's house. Shuixiang and Shuiling quickly spread the master's bedding and hung up the gauze curtain.

Jiang Xun looked around inside and outside the courtyard, and nodded to express satisfaction.

After lunch, Jiang Xun was about to return to Beijing.

"Sister, I came here on the night of the ninth day of the Lunar New Year to stay overnight in Zhuangzi."

"Okay, I'll prepare the stewed intestines for my brother." Jiang Yixi agreed happily and added, "I want to read my parents' menstruation for a month first. You can lend me the pendant that my father left behind for me to wear for a while."

Jiang Xun took off a pendant from his neck, a red rope, with a dark yellow tiger head as big as an adult's thumb hanging on it.

This small pendant was passed down by Jiang Chen's great-great-grandfather to his second-great-grandson Jiang Chen, directly skipping over his son, grandson, and great-great-grandson. Jiang Chen always wore it. Before he died, he took it off and asked Meng Cimo to take it back to the capital and give it to him.

Jiang Xun. I heard that Uncle Jiang was very unhappy when he learned that Jiang Chen passed something like this to Jiang Xun before he died. But since the thing passed through Meng Cimo's hands, he couldn't force it.

Jiang Xun said, "When Prince Meng handed this pendant to me, he said that my father asked me to keep it well and protect my sister. But I was helpless and let my sister come here."

Jiang Yixi took the pendant and said, "It's not a bad thing to come to Zhuangzi. My brother has done a good job."

Looking at the carriage gradually going away, Jiang Yixi touched the little tiger head through her clothes. In the previous life, before her brother died, someone brought the pendant to her. It was because of this pendant that Old Miracle Doctor Shen taught him sincerely. In this life, she still has to rely on

This thing makes up a rhetoric.

Uncle Wu listened to Jiang Xun's words. His eyes were red. The second master was such a good man. When he died, he was most worried about the girl.

Jiang Yixi was strolling in the courtyard. The inner courtyard was quite large, but there were only two trees, making it look empty and monotonous.

Uncle Wu smiled sheepishly and said, "I didn't expect that the girl would stay here for a long time. It's too simple."

Jiang Yixi smiled and said, "Go to the town to buy more flower seeds, and buy two crabapple saplings and banana saplings. I like the flowers to be in full bloom. Oh, buy more rose flower seeds, they are cheap and easy to take care of." He asked again, "We

How far is it from Linfeng Town?”

Uncle Wu smiled and said, "It's not far. It's only six miles away. It takes more than two-quarters of an hour to get there."

After returning to the house, Jiang Yixi finished copying the scriptures carefully.

Her heart was extremely pious, she copied very slowly and wrote very neatly.

Being able to be reborn and correct her mistakes is rare, but she luckily encountered it.

How rare.

The next morning, Jiang Yixi took Grandma Wu, Shuiling, and Wu Yougui to Zhaoming Temple to burn incense.

Jiang Yixi and Grandma Wu told Shui Ling more than once not to cause trouble, not to talk too much, and not to fight. If she didn't listen, they would leave her alone and let her go back to the big kitchen to light the fire.

Shui Ling was so frightened that she swore a curse and promised to obey.

Uncle Wu also asked Jiang Yixi to take a mule cart, but Jiang Yixi wanted to go alone and see the surrounding scenery.

She is not a young lady living in a boudoir.

She was wearing half-used clothes and her hat was held down low. It was obvious that she came from a wealthy family, but she was not expected to be a girl from the uncle's family.

Aunt Wu and Shui Ling walked on both sides of her, followed a few steps behind by Wu Yougui.

The path was rugged, with wheat ears fragrant on both sides. The farmers in the fields straightened up and looked at them. Some who knew Wu Yougui even said hello loudly, "Mr. Wu."

Wu Yougui also smiled back and said hello with a loud voice.

It took more than a quarter of an hour to arrive at Zhaoming Temple.

Zhaoming Nunnery is very large. A queen from the previous dynasty was demoted to a commoner and became a monk here. Later, her son became the emperor and expanded the nunnery like this. Many female relatives of officials in the capital often come here to burn incense, especially those seeking children and marriage.

, I heard that the Queen Mother came here to pray for blessings more than 20 years ago. The incense inside is very prosperous and the scenery is quiet.
