Little ginseng doesn't quite understand what prayer means.

But she always listened to Liu's, and nodded directly: "Okay, I will go."

Madam Liu didn't bother them either, and left with a respectful salute.

Ye Jiao just remembered and pulled Qi Yun and asked, "Xiang Gong, what is prayer?"

Qi Yun held Ye Jiao's fingertips and said softly, "Every year before the New Year, my mother goes back to the temple to make a wish, and sometimes invites the monks in the temple to lecture on the scriptures, hoping that the family will be harmonious and prosperous in the coming year. When the time comes, you need to donate some sesame oil money, you don't have to worry about it, my mother will tell you what to do."

But in Ye Jiao's ears, she heard a word without hearing it clearly.

monk.

Ye Jiao didn't hear this word for the first time. Originally, she had been buried in the deep mountains and soil. She didn't know anything about the outside world. A lot of knowledge was told to her by the little fox, and this word was also said by the little fox. passed.

The little fox said that if you meet people without hair, you must walk around. That kind of people don't like fairies the most.

At that time, the little fox met the big monk who came out and wandered, and they had a fight.

When Ye Jiao heard that she was going to see the monk, her eyes widened and she said subconsciously, "I'm not going!"

This was the first time Ye Jiao had shown such resistance, which startled Qi Yun.

Not bothering to ask the reason, the man stretched out his hand and hugged Ye Jiao tightly in his arms, reached out to touch her hair, and reassured: "If you don't go, you won't go, it's okay."

Ye Jiao grabbed Qi Yun's fur coat tightly and shoved her whole body into the man's arms.

But when Qi Yun's cool fingertips touched her cheek, Ye Jiao suddenly realized that she was no longer a ginseng essence.

She is a human being, a complete human being, someone who can't do magic and has no demonic aura.

Before, the little fox almost lost his life because the big monk hated fairies, but Ye Jiao is not a fairies now, so there can be no more accidents...

The tense body slowly softened, Ye Jiao rubbed against Qi Yun's arms and muttered, "Does mother like to go?"

Qi Yun still hugged her body, her voice was even slower: "My mother didn't believe it before, but later my health got worse and worse, so she began to worship Buddha, and it has persisted for nearly ten years now, but I go every year. ."

Ye Jiao's fingertips moved, and she looked up at him: "Really... does it work?"

Qi Yun smiled, lowered his head and touched the top of the woman's hair with his forehead: "This kind of thing is impossible to say, if you believe it, you have it, if you don't believe it, you don't.

Ye Jiao still couldn't figure out what praying for blessings was, but after hearing Qi Yun's words, her mind moved.

She used to be an adult ginseng, which naturally means that everything has a spirit, but from the day she became conscious, she became a human, and in the thousand years, except for other fairies, she has not seen ghosts and gods.

Whether there are gods and Buddhas, I don’t know about the little ginseng, but what if there is

Now that I am a human, there is no need to be afraid of those great monks. It should be fine to go with my mother-in-law.

Since you are a human being, you must be a good human being.

Ye Jiao comforted herself in her heart, and then said softly to Qi Yun, "I want to go tomorrow."

Qi Yun didn't know what Ye Jiao was thinking about in this short period of time, and she didn't seem impatient with her wife's swaying, instead she curled the corners of her mouth: "Don't worry, Xiaosu will accompany you then, you If you feel bored and come back with her, it's fine, my sister-in-law will go home early every time, and my mother won't mind."

Ye Jiao nodded obediently.

Then Qi Yun thought about the sesame oil money and said, "Is there any money in the box?"

Ye Jiao replied softly: "There is still about seven or eight dollars, and I plan to reward Xiaosu and Tiezi at the end of the year."

"You take it first. After a while, all the money in the shop will be collected, and your little box will be full." Qi Yun said and smiled, and pulled her into his arms again.

But this time, her hand touched something that the man was carrying in his arms. It was slender, and Ye Jiao couldn't help pinching it: "This thing is very sharp to the touch. manage."

When Qi Yun heard the words, he remembered that he brought a gift back today, but the topic just now is really not suitable for sending. Now the atmosphere is just right, Qi Yun took out the jade hairpin and said, "It's for you."

Ye Jiao didn't think too much about hair accessories these days. She also knew all the bead hairpin rings in the box, and now she could see at a glance that it was a hairpin.

It's just that Ye Jiao's hand was tucked into the man's fur coat, and she was really unwilling to stretch it out, she just lowered her head slightly and leaned in front of Qi Yun again: "Help me put it on."

Qi Yun had never worn a hairpin before, but he was unwilling to reject Ye Jiao, so he could only carefully put the jade hairpin into her hair, for fear of touching his wife's flesh.

When the hairpin went in, Ye Jiao raised her head again and asked with a smile, "Does it look good?" But before Qi Yun could answer, Ye Jiao gave the answer directly, "I look good when I wear it."

There was a smile on Qi Yun's face, and he nodded with great certainty: "Of course, Jiao Niang was born beautiful, and naturally she looks good in anything she wears."

Ye Jiao was coaxed to be happy. She likes to praise people, and she likes to hear others praise herself.

He happily dragged Qi Yun and continued to walk beside the flowerbed with medicinal herbs, leaning against each other, and looking at them very lovingly from a distance.

By the early morning of the second day, the yard became lively.

Seeing that the New Year is coming, every family is busy for a while when the New Year arrives. They have to clean the house and paste the windows, and prepare the feast for the end of the year. Especially, there are many tenants like the Qi family. Less, lively.

When it was just dawn, Xiao Su and Tie Zi were busy in the yard. Even if they tried to keep their voices low, they were noisier than usual.

Ye Jiao didn't want to open her eyes, she turned around and got into Qi Yun's arms.

Since the last time she discovered that Qi Yun wouldn't get hot even if she slept with her, Ye Jiao liked to sleep next to this person.

She was hot and he was cold, so it was very suitable for the two of them to be together.

Little Ginseng yawned, eyes closed tightly, and his voice murmured: "Master, what time is it?"

Qi Yun pressed the quilt on her, and said in his mouth, "Three quarters of a second."

So early.

Ye Jiao wouldn't get up so early in the normal morning when she was fine. She still wanted to sleep, but she quickly opened her eyes as if she had thought of something.

Qi Yun reached out and patted her: "Sleep more."

Ye Jiao let out a breath, sat up from the quilt, rubbed her eyes, stretched out, twisted her body, and while reaching for her clothes, she said, "I promised to go out with my mother yesterday, but I'll go late tonight. Not good."

It's just that before Ye Jiao touched the clothes, she felt Qi Yun was looking at her, her eyes very focused.

When Qi Yun was not well before, he had insomnia and slept lightly, and felt tired even when he fell asleep.

Later, after Qi Yun slept soundly, he woke up earlier than Ye Jiao, often when Ye Jiao was still in sweet dreams, Qi Yun had already got up to read books.

After careful calculation, Ye Jiao woke up earlier than Qi Yun after the two shared the same bed today.

What Ye Jiao didn't notice was that the straps of the nightgown came loose, revealing the delicate patterns on the tube top, making Qi Yun's ears red again.

Ye Jiao felt Qi Yun's gaze, but she didn't quite understand what Qi Yun was looking at.

Looking down at herself, and then at Qi Yun, Ye Jiao's soft hand suddenly grabbed Qi Yun's collar and pulled it away with a little force.

Qi Yun: …

The man looked at Ye Jiao dumbfounded, as if he didn't realize what happened for a while.

Ye Jiao tilted her head slightly, with a pure and clear smile on her face: "Xiang Gong, aren't you pretty white too? Look at what I'm doing." Then Ye Jiao took Qi Yun's clothes and stuffed them into the quilt. "It's warm inside, and it won't get cold when you wear it." After speaking, Ye Jiao neatly wrapped her jacket and stepped over Qi Yun to get out of bed.

Qi Yun didn't return to her senses until Ye Jiao dropped the bed curtain.

Just now... Was I being praised by the lady

But why can't you be happy...

When Qi Erlang slowly took off his bedclothes and prepared to change, he suddenly saw that the bed curtain was pulled open again.

The charcoal stove has been lit in the room, and the room is warmed up. When the bed curtains are opened, you can feel the warmth.

It was probably because Ye Jiao's eyes were too clear that Qi Yun didn't even think of covering her with clothes.

Little Ginseng didn't mind Qi Yun's bare arm, and reached out to poke him: "When you get up, remember to help me thrush your eyebrows." After speaking, she poked Qi Yun's shoulder twice, and said with a smile, "Xiang Gong It's good that my body is not as thin as before." Then he went to wash up, leaving Qi Yun sitting on the bed in deep thought.

And Qi Yun has been helping Ye Jiao draw eyebrows these days, and the man has also developed a good ability to draw eyebrows with one hand, and the two distant mountain eyebrows are particularly beautiful.

When Ye Jiao met Liu Shi, Liu Shi praised her: "Jiao Niang's eyebrows are getting better and better."

Ye Jiao was not greedy for merit, and said directly, "It was painted by Xianggong."

As soon as these words came out, not only Mrs. Liu laughed, but Mrs. Fang on the side also laughed.

She looked like she had come out of the shadow of the previous thirty, and her round face was smiling until her eyes narrowed slightly: "Brother and sister are very lucky, now the second brother is getting better and better, you two Qin Se and Ming , this is the best thing."

Ye Jiao blinked and answered honestly, "My husband is very kind to me."

In a word, Liu Shi and Fang Shi smiled at each other.

This smile made Ye Jiao feel a little familiar, as if Dong shi often watched herself and Qi Yun smile like this before...

Today, because he was going to the temple, the incense was flourishing, but the child might not be used to the smell, so Mrs. Fang was not prepared to bring stones.

There are temples in the town, but Liu's sincerity has always been in a temple in the mountains. Starting from Qi's house, it takes nearly an hour to walk through the town to get there.

This time, instead of riding in an ox cart, they switched to a horse-drawn cart.

The ox cart is excellent for walking on the country road, it is slow and steady, but this road is mostly a big road, and a horse-drawn cart is more spacious and faster than an ox-cart.

Ye Jiao didn't care what she sat, as long as she had food and drink, she was happy.

Mrs Liu was also generous and brought a basket full of hemp balls, but she still ate only Ye Jiao. Mrs Fang was greedy, but she touched the soft meat on her arm, but she still didn't reach out.

This journey has been smooth, but the road is long, and the sun is already hanging outside the temple.

Ye Jiao didn't really care if she would be taken away by the monk, but she knew the truth in her heart, and she would still feel apprehensive when she really went outside the temple.

The fingers inside the cloak were clenched together, Ye Jiao followed behind Liu Shi and Fang Shi, and walked forward slowly.

When she was about to cross the threshold, Ye Jiao took a deep breath and kept holding it.

Raise your legs and drop.

The other leg is raised and dropped.

After the little ginseng safely crossed the threshold, there was a smile on his face when he realized that there was nothing wrong with him.

It's nice to be a man.

At this time, a middle-aged woman dressed in wealth and wealth walked up quickly, smiled before saying a word, and said to Mrs. Liu, "Sanniang, you arrived a little later than in previous years, but you are too busy with something. ?"

Ye Jiao was immediately surprised to find that her mother-in-law, who had always been gentle and easygoing, suddenly straightened her body. Although she was still smiling, the smile was a little different from usual.

Ye Jiao couldn't tell what was different, she just felt an inexplicable freshness.

Then he heard Mrs. Liu say, "Although there are many things at home, it's good to have two daughters-in-law to help." After speaking, Mrs. Liu turned to look at Mrs. Fang and Ye Jiao.

Ye Jiao looked at Mrs. Fang subconsciously, and saw Mrs. Fang smiled and said, "This is a daughter-in-law's business." Ye Jiao also wanted to say something.

But just now Ye Jiao was too cautious and too slow to cross the threshold, and now she fell a part of them, and it didn't look like they came together.

Liu Shi signaled Ye Jiao to walk slowly, no need to hurry, and then talked to the woman while walking.

Ye Jiao tugged at Xiaosu and asked in a low voice, "Who is that?"

Xiaosu is just a tenant's child, and he only knows a few details about the owner's affairs, and he doesn't know much about it.

On the other hand, Mrs. Fang seemed to be avoiding Mrs. Liu and the woman on purpose. She walked slowly, and when she heard Ye Jiao's words, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and lowered her voice: "That person's surname is Zhang, and he seems to be Our mother has known each other since she was young, but she always likes to compare herself with her mother, so every year, we don't have to mix it up, everything is just to listen to her."

Before Ye Jiao could think about it, she saw Mrs. Zhang suddenly turn around and asked with a smile, "I don't know where your second daughter-in-law is? I heard that she is a farmer's child. Why, Sanniang, you are reluctant to take her out?"
