Chapter 31 Where Are the Clay Figurines?

In addition, even the musty smell in the room was gone, instead, what lingered faintly in front of the nose was the refreshing sandalwood scent.

There is no valuable item in the room, not even a new one, but in the eyes, it can't be said that it fits well.

It seems that the old tables and chairs, the old tables, and the white porcelain vases that can buy several for a tael of silver, have a natural and rustic charm.

Looking out of the door again, there are several peach and plum trees scattered irregularly in the four corners of the yard.

Although most of them are new species, the branches are thick and strong. It is conceivable that at the end of the year, when the ground is covered with snow, the bright red in front of the courtyard should become lively.

By this time next year, the peach trees full of trees will cover up the vicissitudes of this ancient courtyard.

She felt trembling and sore seeing it.

What is trembling is that Shen Chongxin has been outstanding among his brothers since he was a child. At that time, even though Shen Xi was stupid, he was not stupid, and he was also a pistachio in the eyes of everyone.

Now that she has been guarding the grave in the valley for three years, she is more knowledgeable and interesting than before.

With her like this, she was no longer a lump of mud in the ashes.

The sad thing is that she didn't know the details, so she pushed Lin Pei in.

She thought that no matter how much she struggled, she would not be able to achieve anything, but it was just a joke, but she didn't expect that not only did Shen Xi not show timidity, but it was refreshing!
"Since you don't mind, please have some tea, both of you."

Shen Xi sat on the main seat holding tea and said to them.

She obviously rolled around in one place, but now she doesn't sit in the small living room on one side, so she had to put them here, could it be to show off her actions?
Shen Xin glanced at her with a sneer, and ignored the tea that Pearl brought over.

He just said: "You made a lot of money, why are you not willing to spend money to buy some good tea? Or did you hide the good tea and deliberately use these defective goods to fool me and Brother Pei?"

Unmoved, Shen Xi raised his lips and said, "When did Big Sister hear that I got rich?"

Shen Xin choked, but she didn't know how to continue with the words!
She couldn't tell in front of Lin Pei that she had robbed the porcelain pillow in the second room!

Annoyed in his heart, he couldn't help but glared at her and shut his mouth.

However, Lin Pei didn't seem to notice their bickering at all, he picked up the tea without thinking, and took a big sip.

"It's delicious," he said.

Shen Xin frowned: "Brother Pei has a bad stomach, so take it easy and drink."

Before he finished speaking, he looked at Shen Xi who was sitting safely at the head: "Brother Liang is about to enter the family to learn enlightenment, if you don't spend your money wisely, it's useless to fix these things, it's hard to be as good as before." You didn’t even remember a word of the housekeeping skills your mother taught you in [-]?”

But still can't leave a word of money.

"Oh, Brother Liang won't be homeschooling this year." Shen Xi put down the cup and said calmly.

"Not going?!" Shen Xin raised her voice, "Don't you want him to study and become an official?"

"You care too much."

Shen Xi looked outside the door, brushing his temples casually, making it clear that he didn't want to talk about it with her.

Shen Xin looked at Lin Pei angrily.

Lin Pei was still holding the cup, looking at the tea at the bottom of the cup, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Do you still keep the little clay figurine we asked for back at Xiangguo Temple that year?"

Suddenly, he looked up at the door and said quietly.

Shen Xi was stroking the fringe of the fan intermittently, when he heard this, he paused his hands and settled there.

Xiangguo Temple?
Which Xiangguo Temple...

Where did she die?
She turned her face to look over, and his gaze, who was three feet away, had just landed on her face, his eyes flickered, as if he was hiding a thousand words.

The sunlight shone obliquely on his cheek through the door opening, making his backlit side look even darker.

"You? When have you been to Xiangguo Temple?"

Shen Xin's question broke the embarrassment of this scene.

Shen Xi regained consciousness.

Lin Pei also looked away suddenly, and took a sip of tea.

He lowered his eyes to cover his emotions, and raised his lips at her in a blink of an eye: "I can't remember clearly, it's been many years. Why, do you want to go too?"

This smile is as dazzling as the sun, as if the deep darkness just now was just an illusion of others.

Shen Xin was about to say something, but he got up, brushed the shallow folds of her robe and said, "Let's go, my mother is probably going to say goodbye."

After speaking, he glanced at Shen Xi, and then walked out of the threshold first.

Shen Xin glared at Shen Xi angrily, raised her foot and followed.

Although Shen Xi stood up, he didn't give it away.

The word Xiangguo Temple knocked into her heart like a stone, causing waves in her heart.

In this way, the Xiangguo Temple, revered as the national temple by Helian people, is still there, and it has not been damaged with the demise of Daqin.

Ruifengxing, Changyuxing, and Xiangguo Temple are here in the capital. What has changed in the past 50 years?
She clings to the fan handle and sits back again.

She glanced at the remnants of tea that Lin Pei had eaten, and she saw that her brows that had been loosened immediately frowned again.

This person obviously has a lot of friendship with the original owner, but the pair of little clay figurines don't know what that means?
"Mr. Lin still remembers the girl."

Pearl walked to the door, and whispered while climbing the door frame.

Turning around and seeing Shen Xi who was looking straight over, he fell silent again and bowed his head.

After being a servant of the Shen family for so many years, she knew what to say and what not to say. It's just that the rules outside the house were loose these past few years, so she just let herself go.

Although Shen Xi hasn't said anything about her so far, but his own girls are getting more and more bold, and they will not feel restrained.

"That little clay figurine, where did I put it?"

Shen Xi waved his fan again, looking at Yuan Bei and the others who were about to call it a day in the yard and said.

"It's long gone." Pearl came over to clean up the teacup, "That was all a few years ago.

"At that time, the eldest girl and the others were not in the mansion, and Mr. Lin often came to our mansion to find the uncle to play. Isn't the young lady often invited by Mr. Lin?

"That little clay figurine was invited by Mr. Lin and you at Xiangguo Temple during the Shangyuan Festival."

And this thing!
Shen Xi stopped the fan, looked at her and said, "No more?"

"Sigh." Pearl looked up and sighed, "Since the accident happened in our house, Mr. Lin has never been to the door. When we met on the road, he would not stop to say hello when the girl called him. Before going to Xing'ergou, the girl didn't Did you smash them?"

While wiping the table, Pearl sank the end of the conversation.

Shen Xi looked at her, puzzled.

Looking at the appearance of "Mr. Lin" just now, it doesn't look like he remembers avoiding him on the road...

Ding's mother and son left after lunch.

Shen Xin couldn't bear it any longer, sent them to the second gate to get on the horse, then turned around and asked about Huang's plan for the Liu's banquet.

Huang has already decided to go to the banquet.

Mr. Yang mentioned by Mrs. Ding is not a famous family, but the elders in the family are good at planning, and many relatives are well-connected. He is even the natal family of a certain concubine in the palace, so he can be regarded as a well-known family.
