The old man walked down the mountain slowly, took the handkerchief handed by the old servant to wipe his sweat, and looked at the mysterious temple not far away.
People were constantly coming in and out of Xuanmiao Temple.
"Master, you have helped them a lot." The old servant couldn't help but said.
If it weren't for the old man's return gift to everyone in the city, who would know about this mysterious view? Even if they knew, no one would take a second look.
"You can only rely on good wind." The old man wiped his sweat and said, "How far you can go depends on your true ability."
The desserts made by this Xuan Miao Guan are indeed exquisite. Moreover, their actions are also exquisite. I guess this good wind will be able to reach the blue sky.
Opportunity is also mysterious.
"Master, we are going back to Beijing, why don't we go get some mooncakes or something to take back?" the old servant asked.
"I'm afraid I can't get it now." The old man said with a smile, pointing to those people who came out of the Xuanmiao Temple, "Look, everyone is very disappointed. Obviously, Sun Xiangu is devoted to cultivation and is not moved by the worldly things."
The old servant looked over and laughed too.
"This fairy girl is very wise." He said, "However, if there is no one else, there will be no one without us."
The old man did not comment, and the two of them walked down the mountain slowly. When they came to the donkey cart, they were stunned when they saw the people standing beside the cart.
"Banqin?" the old servant shouted, "you...?"
Didn't he leave?
"Master." The girl saluted, her eyes were red and swollen, but there was a smile on her face.
The old man also looked slightly surprised.
"It's a thousand miles away," he said.
"Yes, the slave has already told the lady just now, and the lady is also very happy." The girl said, "At that time, the slave left directly from home without saying a word to the lady. She was really worried about it and couldn't let it go, but she didn't dare to say it.
I was afraid that the master would misunderstand that the slave was unwilling to come, but I didn’t expect that the master was wise and sent the slave to see the lady. I am very grateful."
The old man looked at her and smiled meaningfully.
"So, I was wrong. You are not in love with your old master, but you are uneasy before we see each other again?" He smiled, lifted up his clothes and sat down in the car.
A hint of sadness flashed across the girl's expression.
"This slave is a slave. Before I followed the lady, I did some sweeping and washing. Whatever the master asks the slave to do, it is my duty to do it with all my heart." She said, looking up at the old man and smiling, "The master asked the slave to serve the lady, and the slave is dedicated to it."
Serving the lady, the master asked the slave to serve the master, and the slave naturally has to serve the master wholeheartedly. Although she is reluctant to give up, she can never forget her duty."
The old man smiled and said nothing.
"The lady was very happy after hearing this. She was happy for the slave. She said that the happiest thing in the world is to know people and use them well. If you leave them at home, I will be a servant girl all your life. The master likes your craftsmanship, and I will definitely be able to do more.
Be diligent." The girl continued, looking at the Taiping Palace on the mountain, "In the future, if the slave is diligent, her old master will also enjoy the food. The lady asked the slave to thank the master for her first. When the master comes, don't be stingy and refuse to eat.
"
The old man laughed.
"Okay, okay." He said, "Blessings and blessings together."
The old servant was also happy and took the whip.
"In this case, sir, you don't have to go to Sun Xiangu for some dried fruit candied snacks." He smiled, "Our family has plenty of food for ourselves."
The old man smiled, and so did the girl.
"Oh, there's one more thing." She thought of something and said hurriedly, looking at the Taiping Palace again, "It's the uninvited invitation that I dared to do."
The old man looked at her and said oh.
"Your Majesty must know that my wife is sick and has limited mobility. She likes to listen to people tell stories. Therefore, I would like to see if your Majesty can find a maid for my wife who can read and write." The girl said, with a bit of uneasiness.
Without waiting for the old man to speak, he hurriedly added, "I should have said these words to the master, but I am afraid that the master will think that the slave is deliberately causing trouble. In the end, not only will I not be able to give to such a girl, but I will make the lady blame innocently."
The old man smiled again.
"Then you're not afraid that I'll think you're deliberately causing trouble?" He smiled.
"Your Majesty is not that kind of person." The girl said immediately, "My Majesty saw that the slave was sad. Not only did he not blame him, but he even drove the slave away. Instead, he brought the slave here to see the lady. Master, thank you. You are a good man. I will follow you.
It is the slave’s blessing.”
The old man looked at her and sighed.
"Your wife is lucky to have a girl like you," he said.
No matter how careful I am, this matter will be unsolvable. If I don't take this girl away, the Cheng family master will definitely become angry. Although I have told him not to do anything to the girl for a while, he will have to leave sooner or later.
Yes, I can save this girl for a while, but not for the rest of my life.
Unexpectedly, this girl actually changed her mind. Could it be that she was really wrong? She was not reluctant to leave her old master, but really wanted to say goodbye in person as she said?
Or maybe someone else taught her to say this?
The old man looked towards Taiping Palace.
Interesting, interesting.
Cheng Jiaoniang looked down the mountain and did not move for a long time.
"Madam, don't be sad." Sun Guanzhu couldn't help but said, "It's getting cold, let's go back."
"I'm not sad." Cheng Jiaoniang said, turning her head to look at her, her mouth slightly curved, "This is good."
Guanzhu Sun looked at her with a sad expression and smiled bitterly.
This kid must have been used to having fun amidst hardship.
"For her, as long as I am here, she will be like this. Go to that family, those people will be shocked, happy, and will value her particularly." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
An orange-stuffed crab that doesn't even have the basic taste can be eaten as if it's a world-class delicacy. It shows that it has never seen the world and is easy to pass up.
Guanzhu Sun seemed to understand but not quite.
"Furthermore, I said that food, clothing, housing and transportation are the easiest. Anyone can serve me. What's more, now I can take care of myself, eat and drink." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Guanzhu Sun said, "Congratulations" first.
"My wife's condition is better." She said, "But how can I let my wife do it herself? How can we people do it ourselves?"
Cheng Jiaoniang nodded.
"Now, I just want a girl who can read and write." She said, looking down the mountain, "I want to read and write. Just in time, the old man wants to enjoy the food, so let's exchange it. Isn't this right?
Hello, hello, hello everyone, it’s a good thing.”
After she finished speaking, she looked at Guanzhu Sun.
Guanzhu Sun's expression was a little complicated.
So that’s it, then, it’s really not a sad thing.
The two of them turned around and walked towards the mountain gate, when laughter suddenly sounded behind them.
"Stay here."
The two of them turned back and looked a little surprised at the old man walking up. Of course, only one of them was surprised.
Guanzhu Sun personally handed over the water, then knelt down and sat aside.
From the beginning to the end, Guanzhu Sun did not say a word, and when he offered tea and water, he respected this woman.
Mrs. Zhang was convinced.
"First I saw it was exquisite here, now I look at it even more exquisitely." Old Mrs. Zhang said with a smile, withdrew his gaze and fell on Cheng Jiaoniang.
"That's my father-in-law's wise eyes." Cheng Jiaoniang said, bowing her head briefly to thank her.
"My wife's words are embarrassing." Mr. Zhang shook his head meaningfully and said, "I am blind, my eyes are blind. I just told Banqin that a gentleman does not take what he likes. When I spoke, I thought it was Banqin's duty to take care of the lady.
Well, only then did I realize that it was my wife who was taking care of Banqin."
Guanzhu Sun nodded.
Finally someone understands who is really in charge here.
"It is human nature that my father-in-law is too modest." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Mrs. Zhang nodded.
Everyone in the world has preconceptions, who would have thought that a stupid boy could regain his mind.
"Thank you for your forgiveness, Madam." He said, turning the water bowl in his hand and frowning slightly, "I just don't know, is Madam's move helpless or heartless?"
This sentence suddenly appeared, like a stone thrown into the water, causing splashes and breaking the originally calm and peaceful lake surface.
Helpless people are pitiful, heartless people are annoying.
