Chapter 28 The Lovely Old Lady

After practicing fingering for a while, Xia Fanshuang felt her upper and lower eyelids fighting, and her head was dizzy.

She pouted her chin and looked at the unusually focused girl, and sighed long.

"Third sister, you are leaving later, let's talk."

"Nianyun Nunnery is only more than 100 miles away from the capital, and I will be back the day after tomorrow at the latest. I will talk about it then."

"How about... let's go together, I miss grandma too."

Xia Yueliang put down her seal and wiped her hands with a handkerchief.

"Stop using those crooked brains, practice the piano well, and wait for me to come back to check the progress. Besides, Mingjia will stay and stare at you, don't think about stealing and playing tricks to fool people."

Xia Fanshuang drooped the corners of her mouth, her eyes looked like an abandoned puppy.

Xia Yueliang suppressed her smile, walked over and patted her on the cheek: "Be good, I'll bring back vegetarian snacks from Nianyun Temple for you to eat."

She gave Mingjia a few more instructions, and walked out of the study with Mi'er.

The terrain around Fengguo's capital is flat, the official roads are also flat and wide, and the carriages drive fast and steadily.

Xia Yueliang didn't care to appreciate the scenery along the way, and leaned on the couch to read idle books.

It was Mi'er's first time traveling with her, and everything she saw felt fresh, and she wished she could lean out of the car window.

"Girl, I heard from Sister Chunzhuo and the others that there is a big lake next to Banchi Villa, and there are many lotus in it."

Xia Yue said with a sneer: "We have planted a lot of lotus in our house, and those outside the window are blooming just right, so many are not enough for you to see?"

Mi'er twisted her little hand, but hesitated to speak.

"You little girl, when did you learn to hold back? Didn't you just want to learn more about Beijing, take you with you when you go to Xiucheng next time, just don't think about your parents and cry."

Mi'er smiled: "Thank you girl, I promise I won't cry."

"When we arrive at Nianyun Nunnery later, if you want to ask for a talisman for your brother, go to Mrs. Huixin. Remember not to run around for fun."

"Slave remembered."

At a moment of time, the carriage arrived at Nianyun Nunnery.

At this time, the nuns were doing evening classes, and Xia Yueliang couldn't go to disturb her, so she took Mi'er to find the meditation room for pilgrims.

In addition to being famous for its Vegetarian Food, Nianyun Temple also has better flowers and plants than other places. It is a good place to escape the summer heat.

When the master and servant walked near the Zen room, they saw Hong Liao, the eldest maid of the old lady Shen's family, coming from another road carrying a teapot.

"Sister Hongliu." Xia Yueliang called out.

"Third girls!" Hong Liao showed surprise on her face, and ran to them quickly.

"Is grandma okay?" Xia Yue asked with a sneer.

Hong Liao lowered her voice and said: "The old lady has been having a temper these two days, and the food is not good. Just now, she sent Madam Cheng to follow Mrs. Huixin to do the evening class, saying that she wanted to be quiet by herself."

Xia Yueliang pursed her lips and laughed, the old lady in their family is so cute.

The nunnery is the cleanest place. After staying here for half a month, no matter how irritable I feel, I will calm down long ago.

Grandmother was obviously very quiet and wanted to move, and she couldn't stay in the nunnery any longer, so she lost her temper.

Hong Liao hurriedly asked again: "When did the girl return to Beijing?"

"I just came back the day before yesterday. I heard that my grandmother was in Nianyun Nunnery, so I wanted to come and say hello to her."

As she spoke, she took the teapot from Hong Liao's hand: "Sister, take Mier to arrange a place to live, and I'll go visit grandma."

"Yes." Red Polygonum blessed Fushen and retreated with Mi'er.

Xia Yueliang walked outside the old lady Shen's meditation room, and gently opened the door.

There are also two meditation rooms inside and outside, and Shen Shi is lying on the meditation bed in the outside room at this time, sleeping in the same posture as Xia Fanshuang the day before yesterday.

Xia Yue smiled coldly with crooked eyebrows.

Among the grandma's children, the one who looks most like her is her father.

Therefore, the appearance of the three sisters, she is the most similar to her grandmother, especially the face shape and eyebrows, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are exactly the same.

But when it comes to personality, Xia Fanshuang is the one who resembles her the most.

Growing up pampered by his parents and elder brothers since he was a child, and being loved by his husband after he got married, he lived to be more than 50 years old and still acted like a child, which is really enviable.

She put the teapot on the table and walked slowly to the Zen bed.

"Old lady, get up and drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat." She imitated the tone of red Polygonum.

"Didn't I say to be quiet, what kind of tea should I drink..."

Shen turned over impatiently, but what she saw when she opened her eyes was not Polygonum vulgaris, but the smiling face of her little granddaughter.

"Sister Liang?!" She was so excited that she almost fell off the Zen bed.

Xia Yueliang quickly supported her: "Grandmother, take it easy, be careful not to fall."

Shen sat up and pulled her to sit beside her.

"Didn't you say that you will return to Beijing before the Mid-Autumn Festival, why is it suddenly a month earlier?"

Xia Yueliang sized her up carefully.

Seeing that she looked good and was in good spirits, she smiled and said, "I miss my grandmother so much, so I came back early."

Shen embraced her: "My sister Liang is the most caring, always thinking of grandma."

Xia Yueliang knew that she couldn't stay in Nianyun Nunnery any longer, so she deliberately said: "Nianyun Nunnery is quieter and cooler than our house, and the vegetarian food is also very delicious, so I just want to come here to enjoy the glory of my grandmother and accompany you here Stay longer."

Shen's smiling face instantly disappeared without a trace.

"Sigh... you don't know, the green vegetables and tofu are eaten here every day, and the grandmother's face is eaten like vegetables."

Xia Yueliang looked at her well-maintained face with almost no wrinkles, and said with a smile: "It's beautiful, the vegetarian restaurant in Nianyun Temple is famous far and wide..."

"No matter how famous it is, it's all vegetables and tofu. Grandma's life here is even worse than dough!"

"You brought the dough here too?"

Xia Yueliang was really convinced.

Dough is the kitten she found for her grandmother a year ago. Because of its snow-white fur and roundness, it is very attractive.

Grandma first named it Xuetuaner, then somehow it became Rice Ball, and finally Dough again.

Cats are carnivores, and the nunnery has no fishy smell at all. Dough has been carefully raised since childhood and can't catch mice. Is grandma planning to let Dough learn to be a herbivore?

"Did you bring small dried fish and dried meat for the dough?"

Mrs. Shen patted her little hand: "What nonsense are you kidding, this is a pure Buddhist place, how can you bring those things with you?"

Xia Yueliang was puzzled: "Then you just said that it is not even as good as dough."

Mrs. Shen leaned into her ear and said, "There is a small river in the back mountain of Nianyun Nunnery, and there are many small fish and shrimps in it.

The boys from the nearby villages go there to swim every day, and catch some fish and shrimp to roast and eat.

I asked Cuiqiao to bring the dough over there, and I could eat grilled fish and shrimp every day. "

"Oh——" Xia Yueliang joked: "Cuiqiao and Dian Er are two heartless people who steal good food all day long and don't know how to bring some for the master. They really deserve to be beaten!"

"You poor-mouthed boy, if grandma wants to eat those things, why is she here?"

"Yes, I also find it strange, you have never liked to be vegetarian, why did you take the initiative to send it to your door to suffer?"
