Chapter 37: Soup kitchen

What's important?

Is it to worship the Buddha in the family temple for a year, or is it the farce in the Baiyun Temple?

Xue Jinyi thought of Mrs. Xue's face and felt that some things were not ending so easily.

"Trouble mom to lead the way." She nodded, and this time asked Caiyun to stay in the broken courtyard to count the items, and brought Mama Yao to the main courtyard.

Crossing the threshold, when she saw that the second and third Mrs. Xue were still sitting in the room, Xue Jinyi knew that it was definitely not the farce of Baiyun Templeβ€”Mrs. Xue obviously didn't want to remember this shameful stupidity anymore.

"Mother, second aunt, third aunt." She bowed her eyebrows and saluted.

Second Mrs. Xue snorted and turned her head away, and continued to eat melon seeds, still not putting Xue Jinyi in her eyes at all, while Third Mrs. Xue squinted and smiled, nodded at her, and looked like a kind person.

Mrs. Xue asked the maid to help her up and sit on the side, and then said, "Since you are going to the family temple to worship the Buddha, you have to do some more repairs over there, so that you can concentrate on chanting and chanting the Buddha." Before that, there happened to be one thing, the refugees outside the city stayed for a lot of time, and the big families in the city took turns to give porridge to the refugees, and it was the turn of our Weiguo Mansion the day after tomorrow. You are the eldest daughter of the Guogong Mansion, and you have been enlightened by the Bodhisattva, so let you go. ”

Second Mrs. Xue sighed twice and said, "Xue Jinyi, you should know how ridiculous the things you did before were, right?" If you want to save some reputation, cherish the opportunity your mother gave you. ”

Xue Jinyi pressed the curiosity and speculation in her heart, and responded obediently: "Jinyi will not live up to her mother's high expectations. ”

Madam Xue smiled and nodded, "I'm sure Jinyi won't disappoint everyone." The day after tomorrow, Mother Qin will take you to the place where the soup is groomed, just watch to help a little, don't worry too much about tiredness. ”

"Yes, Mother." Xue Jinyi still had no superfluous expression on her face.

"I'm tired of playing outside today, go back and rest early." Mrs. Xue's gaze swirled around her face, and then she picked up the teacup next to her, and the half-opened teacup and sleeves covered the small half of her face, making it difficult to see her expression clearly.

Xue Jinyi came out of the main courtyard, her brows furrowed slightly.

"Mama, has it been the turn of the Guogong Mansion to give porridge before?" Seeing that there was no one around, she asked softly.

Mama Yao said: "There have been two times, and Steward Cheng went." In fact, our Guogong Mansion has nothing to do except take out rice and grain, and it is all done by Mrs. and his younger brother with his subordinates. ”

"Oh?" Xue Jinyi touched her chin, why did she go this time, "I think it's a little weird." ”

Mama Yao gently patted Xue Jinyi's shoulder and said, "Maybe it's just like what the second wife said, it's to save your reputation, right?" In this way, a year later, the young lady will be able to match someone. ”

Such an explanation can't untie Xue Jinyi's deeply locked brows, but if Mrs. Xue cares a little bit, she won't raise the original owner to look like a person who hates dogs.

Something would happen during the soup kitchen, but it wouldn't endanger her lifeβ€”it was the only thing she was sure of, but she couldn't think of what Madame Xue was thinking about and how to achieve her goal.

I can only cheer up and see the move.

Xue Jinyi returned to the broken courtyard, and Caiyun had already placed the things in different categories.

"Why do we have to live in this place?" Caiyun looked around in disgust, even if the things sent were arranged, it wouldn't be able to hide the tatters here!

Xue Jinyi's mind moved, and the broken courtyard was far away from the main courtyard and Xue Fangyi's courtyard, which showed that Mrs. Xue was afraid that she would have divine power under the favor of the Bodhisattva, and would murder her?

It seems that Mrs. Xue has not let down her guard because she is gentle and well-behaved, so it will be done, and this trick can continue to be used.

Xue Jinyi smiled slightly and beckoned, "Let's go, let's arrange the yard again." ”

On the day of the soup kitchen, at three o'clock in the morning, Qin's mother came to the broken courtyard and found that it was not as dilapidated and old as before, the courtyard was cleaned inside and outside, the vegetables planted in the open space were green and vibrant, and the aroma of rice and noodles emanated from the east stove, which made her hungry after breakfast.

She swallowed her saliva, and despite her curiosity, she didn't dare to go inside, but bowed to Xue Jinyi, who was in a strange pose in the courtyard, "Miss Jin, the carriage and horses have been prepared, it's time to go." ”

Xue Jinyi, who was practicing aerobics, slowly exhaled a breath and said with a smile: "Mom, please wait for a while, I'll change my clothes and come." ”

When the morning sun fell on that ordinary and featureless face, the light flickered like stars in her eyes, and Mother Qin was stunned, but somehow she actually felt that Miss Jin seemed to have become more beautiful.

Xue Jinyi changed into a light dogwood pink skirt, the elegant and plain color set off her good complexion, and she did not lose the beauty and liveliness of a teenage girl.

She raised her hand and shook it in front of the stunned Mother Qin, and asked softly, "Mother Qin, let's go, shall we?" ”

Mother Qin came back to her senses, and glanced at Xue Jinyi carefully, and the moment she came out of the wing, she had the feeling of seeing Mrs. Wei Guogong......

She shook her head slightly, Mrs. Yuanpei had already died, so don't scare yourself anymore.

Xue Jinyi followed Qin's mother out of the Hanging Flower Gate, and saw a fairly luxurious carriage, and the coachman thoughtfully placed the footstool next to the carriage and respectfully invited her to go up.

With a light smile on her face, she boarded the carriage, and then Mama Yao, Mama Qin, and Caiyun all sat in.

As the carriage moved forward, Mother Qin spoke: "Miss Jin, this time you just need to sit in the shed and drink tea and eat snacks, and occasionally come down to help with a few porridges, so that those rough refugees can't crash into you." ”

"Okay." Xue Jinyi nodded, and then asked with a blank expression: "It's only been a day's work, have you already prepared the soup kitchen?" ”

"It's all ready, there's nothing to worry about Miss." Mother Qin said, looking at Xue Jinyi's face.

"That's good." Xue Jinyi patted her chest and said with a wry smile: "I was still worried that I couldn't sleep for two nights, I was afraid that I, a person who didn't know anything, would ruin the big things of the Guogong Mansion." ”

Mother Qin smiled, when she was a little girl who loved to think wildly, "Miss, don't worry, no matter what happens, I will be in front of you." ”

Xue Jinyi nodded at Qin's mother, "Then it's a lot of trouble for mother." ”

"It's not troublesome, it's my business." Mother Qin was polite, and she couldn't see Mother Yang in her heart anymore - a little girl scared her into bedridden and talking nonsense, which was really useless.

The carriage came smoothly all the way to the soup kitchen outside the city, Xue Jinyi got out of the carriage, stood on the wheel and looked at it, and the two guigns came into her eyes first.

A "Patriotic Mansion", a single "Sun" word.

Two uniformly sized guins hung side by side, fluttering in the wind.
