The little daughter-in-law of the palace

Chapter 152
Jiuhua Temple.

Chu Yuan escorted shopkeeper Dai Wulu back to the Hou Mansion and hurried over, just in time for the old lady to lead Hanzhu and the others to sit under the old locust tree to enjoy the cool air.

"Look at you, you're sweating profusely. It's not too late to come back tomorrow. Why do you have to come back today?" The old lady reprimanded with concern in her eyes, looking at the sunset in the evening.

Chu Yuan sat down on the rattan chair, looked at the old lady and said, "Tomorrow is twenty, grandson will come and accompany you to burn incense."

The old lady comes to Jiuhua Temple every June, and she always chooses to go on June [-]th for the first incense sticks. The juniors are curious about what special day this is. The old lady never gave a real explanation. The juniors Just don't ask.

The grandson was thinking about himself, and the old lady felt comfortable, looked at her grandson carefully, and frowned slightly: "What errand did your second uncle ask you to do? I haven't seen you for a few days. I wonder why you have lost so much weight?"

Chu Yuan smiled, "It's the birthday of an old friend of my second uncle. I was also instructed by him when I was in the army. My second uncle didn't have time to go there, so he sent me to give a birthday gift and express my heart."

The old lady nodded, smiled and looked at Ah Xun who was still playing mahjong just now because she was afraid that her cousin would sit next to her sister obediently, and deliberately teased him: "Ah Xun, grow up quickly, practice kung fu like your elder brother, your father If there is any errand to call you on, with your help, your elder brother will be able to relax more."

Ah Xun leaned into her elder sister's arms, her big eyes narrowed and curiously staring at her eldest cousin who hadn't seen him for a few days. Chu Yuan looked over, and the little guy turned his head and buried her in her elder sister's arms, hugging her and saying, "I won't go." "He wants to learn horseback riding and archery from his cousin daddy, but he doesn't want to do things for his daddy. The big cousin disappeared for a few days after his daddy ordered him around. Ah Xun doesn't want to be separated from his sister. It's okay to separate for a while, and he still wants to sleep with her sister at night. of.

The boy was clingy, making Chu Qiang, Chu Rong and the others laugh at him, Hanzhu glanced at Chu Yuan quietly, but was very grateful to have Ah Xun by his side.Someone wanted to harm her and Ah Xun, so Chu Qing came over that day and said that everything had been arranged so that she could escape the summer heat in the temple without worrying about anything else.How can Ke Hanzhu not worry?She wanted to know who the real culprit was, and how Chu Qing dealt with it. During the day, she pretended to be ignorant in front of the old lady, and at night, she tossed and turned sleeplessly. With a fat body, Hanzhu will feel at ease a lot.

"Okay, it's getting dark, let's all go back and rest, and get up early tomorrow morning, whoever sleeps late and delays me grabbing incense sticks, I will punish him to be a young monk in the temple for a day." The old lady glanced around pretending to be majestic. Turning around, his eyes naturally fell on Ah Xun.

Knowing that the little monk has no hair, Ah Xun couldn't help covering his head, "I don't sleep in late!"

"Then let's see who gets up first tomorrow." The old lady lovingly touched the boy's head, and led the maid into the room.

Chu Qiang also came over to be curious about Ah Xun, and looked at Chu Yuan's clothes beside her with Zhu Hanzhu, remembering that Chu Qing had told her not to show any strangeness, so she resisted to look at it, and did not ask with her eyes, after saying goodbye to several cousins , leading Ah Xun to the east across the courtyard.

Ah Xun held the little sparrow that Chu Huai had caught for him in his hand, and raised his head to talk to his sister: "I don't sleep in, my sister will call me tomorrow."

The boy is innocent and cute, Hanzhu let go of her uneasiness for the time being, and washes Ah Xun's face and feet with her own hands after entering the house.A three-year-old child, her arms and legs are white and fleshy, like a lotus root, she pinches and squeezes the pearls, kisses and lays on the kang and looks at her smiling little guy, "Ah Xun, let's go together tomorrow!" Get up, don't let the old lady shave Ah Xun's hair."

Ah Xun hugged her sister, and the chubby hand gently stroked her sister's long black hair, "You are not allowed to shave your sister either."

With a soft heart, Hanzhu turned on the lamp and got on the kang, hugged the younger brother who immediately stuck to him, and told him a story softly.

Unknowingly fell asleep.

The next day, Tian Xiwei, the courtyard became busy, luckily it was not a big day, if it was a festival and the people were vying for incense sticks, they would definitely not be able to get them up at this time.

Ah Xun promised well last night, but couldn't get up in the morning, Hanzhu didn't force him, and helped the little guy wash and dress, and let Ruyi carry him to the front yard.The old lady looked at it, and said distressedly: "Why don't you take Ah Xun away, let's go back early, maybe he hasn't woken up yet."

The old lady planned to finish the incense today before visiting the temple. Hanzhu didn't want to spoil the old lady's interest because of Ah Xun, and she didn't feel at ease to let Ah Xun stay here by herself, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Ah Xun yesterday I told me later that he wants to accompany the old lady to burn incense, if he can't get up, I have to take him there even if I hug him."

"This boy has a sweet mouth." The old lady smiled from ear to ear, and said to Chu Yuan, "Okay, then let's go."

It takes about two quarters of an hour from the other courtyard to the mountain gate. The three brothers Chu Yuan, Chu Huai and Chu Hong walked there, and the female relatives sat in soft sedan chairs.At the one hundred and eighth stone steps in front of the temple gate, the soft sedan stopped, and then no matter the dignitaries or ordinary people, in order to show their sincerity, they had to climb up the steps.

"Let me hug my fourth brother." Chu Yuan walked to Hanzhu's soft sedan chair, bowed his head and said to her.

He is strong and healthy, and he is deeply trusted by Chu Qing, so Hanzhu slowly handed over the sleeping boy in his arms, "Brother, please trouble me."

Chu Yuan smiled at A-Xun, and the smile was still unrestrained when he looked at Hanzhu, "I will take care of A-Xun, my sister will help the old lady."

The more indifferent a person is, the more amazing his smile is. For the first time when Hanzhu faced the smiling Chu Yuan up close, he was shaken by that gentle elder brother. He quickly lowered his eyes, said goodbye softly, and walked to the old lady. , with Chu Qiang standing on the left and right.
