Chapter 216 Don’t dare to speak loudly
After a while, the mountain became quiet, and the teenagers picked herbs carefully.
When Shi Zelan and Xiao Yingzi stopped to rest, Shi Zelan flipped through the herbs picked by Xiao Yingzi.
"Xiao Yingzi, this time not a single blade of grass got in."
Xiao Yingzi smiled, looked up again and saw that the young people had climbed up a little higher. She approached Shi Zelan and said, "Xiao Lan Son, do you know why Xiao Qiuhua doesn’t dare to come?”
Shi Zelan looked at her: "Her parents don't allow it?"
Xiao Yingzi shook her head and sighed: "Xiao Qiuhua's parents found a marriage for her, and the family heard that she went out of the city with us. I was not very happy about picking herbs."
Shi Zelan looked at the expression on Xiao Yingzi's face and asked tentatively: "Xiao Yingzi, do you think Xiao Qiuhua's marriage is good?"
“My grandma said that Xiao Qiuhua’s marriage was not a good one, but she asked me not to mind my own business.
My grandma said that only Xiao Qiuhua’s parents would do the best for her. I don’t want to disturb Xiao Qiuhua’s heart by talking nonsense at this time.”
Shi Zelan looked at Xiao Yingzi and said with a smile: "Your mother-in-law is so kind."
"Xiao Lanzi, is your mother-in-law good to you?"
Shi Zelan thought for a while and finally He didn't want to make up lies to deceive her: "Not long after I was born, my father and mother went to a distant place."
Xiao Yingzi couldn't hide the look of sympathy in her eyes, and Shi Zelan understood it all at once.
She immediately smiled and explained: "They are still there, but the journey is too far, and they have never had the chance to come back."
"Oh, that's good.
My mother-in-law said that many families have requirements for marrying a daughter-in-law. She must have both parents."
Shi Zelan listened to Xiao Yingzi's words and nodded. : "Xiao Yingzi, your father and mother will definitely find a suitable marriage for you."
Xiao Yingzi blushed and whispered: "My father and mother don't want me to marry far away, so just If you want me to marry someone close by, if something happens, you can just stand at the door of the yard and shout."
Shi Zelan thought about it, looked at the three young people, and asked in a low voice: "Your father, mother, and you. , Whose beautiful boy did you fall in love with?”
"Our two families haven't officially settled yet, but everyone in his family thinks that I can make friends and think that you are a very good friend."
Shi Zelan could vaguely feel that he and Xiao Yingzi implicated, but she did not reject this fate.
"That's good. After I leave the capital, I can still send you a message."
Xiao Yingzi suddenly became happy: "Xiao Lanzi, I told them that we can They don’t believe that I will be a good friend for a lifetime.”
“Are they saying that I will leave soon and then leave you and ignore you?”
Xiao Yingzi nodded, and Shi Zelan said with a smile: "I will contact you.
It's just that I have to stay with Master. Sometimes I go far away, so it is not convenient to send you news."
Xiao Yingzi nodded happily. Shi Zelan looked at her smiling face and started laughing too. She was also quite good at carpe diem.
Before Shen Shi, Shi Xiaoliu and his party entered the city gate. The city guard officials saw the herbs in their bags and let them go.
On their way home, the teenagers asked Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu happily: "When will we leave the city again?"
Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu exchanged glances, and Shi Xiaoliu said with a smile: "If you are not tired, we will go for a walk in the mountains tomorrow.
It's just that we have to go far this time, and maybe we won't be able to come back at night. Family, you go home and discuss it with your elders."
After hearing what Shi Xiaoliu said, Xiao Yingzi asked Shi Zelan: "Xiao Lanzi, will you go together?" Shi Zelan shook his head: "I don't. Gone.”
Xiao Yingzi immediately said: “I don’t want to go either.”
In the evening, Shi Xiaoliu and Master Decheng discussed their travel arrangements for the next day: "Master, I want to help them learn more about some medicinal herbs."
Master Decheng nodded: "Okay, yes. A good thing is a good thing."
When Shi Xiaoliu told the news that Shi Zelan would stay, Master Decheng frowned: "We are not in the yard, she should go out with you."
Zhenzheng Shanzheng quickly found Shi Zelan: "Sister Lan, tomorrow I will go to the Taoist temple with your uncle to stay for a few days
If you don't want to travel with Xiaoliu and the others, then you can come with us Let’s go to a Taoist temple to stay together?”
Shi Zelan thought for a while and shook his head and said: "Master, Xiaoliu and I will go up the mountain together."
Shanzheng Zhenren and Shi Zelan explained: "This time, some good friends of the temple master will come to visit. I want to take a look. Their skills in talismans."
"Master, uncle, do you want to see their skills in refining elixirs?"
Master Shan Zheng nodded with a smile: "We can learn from each other. ”
Shi Zelan thought for a while and went out of the courtyard to look for Xiao Yingzi.
When Aunt Liu opened the door, she was surprised to see Shi Zelan and said: "Xiao Lanzi, do you have a problem with me?"
Shi Zelan smiled: "Aunt, can you tell Xiao Yingzi for me?"< br>
After Aunt Liu nodded, Shi Zelan continued: "Tomorrow the elders in the family will be traveling, and they will live outside for a while.
I can't stay at home tomorrow. I want to stay with me. Brothers, go up the mountain together."
Aunt Liu understood what Shi Zelan said and said with a smile, "Xiao Lanzi, I understand.
It's more convenient for you to be outside with your brothers. "
Shi Zelan settled a matter on his mind. After returning home, he asked Shi Xiaoliu: "In a few days, we won't go up the mountain anymore. Let's go to the teahouse to listen to people telling stories? "
"You want to go to the teahouse to see the elegant scholar, right? "
Shi Zelan smiled at him: "Brother Xiao Liu, I always feel that people who read more have a bookish quality about them. ”
The next morning, Master Decheng and his party walked out of the city gate together with Shi Xiaoliu and his party, but they went in different directions.
After the elders left, the teenagers breathed a sigh of relief one by one. They turned around to see Shi Zelan and were surprised: "Is Xiaolanzi with us?"
Shi Xiaoliu said with a smile: "At her age, she doesn't feel comfortable going to temples or Taoist temples, and we don't feel at ease if she is left alone at home."
Xia Yu said to the young people: "Sister Lan knows many medicinal herbs. You can also ask her for advice on herbs you don’t know.”
They went to the mountain a little further away. When they reached the foot of the mountain, Shi Xiaoliu said to the young man: “After this trip up the mountain, we won’t have time for some days. We will go up the mountain."
After hearing this, the young people nodded and said: "When we went out, the elders in the family said that it was going to rain again."
Shi Xiaoliu asked them curiously: "Your elder brother is going to take the imperial examination. Are you not allowed to speak loudly at home?"
One of the young men smiled: "No, we are still at home as usual. Live your life.
I want to learn to pick herbs with you this time. My brother has spoken for me and said that I will learn the skills from you.
No matter what happens when I am determined to study. It won’t be too late.”
The other two young men sighed: “Our brother will take the provincial examination this year, and we don’t dare to speak loudly at home.”
