Shen Shimo, Song Ruoxi returned to the yard where he lived. When he entered the door, he saw the brocade boxes placed on the table that were taken away by the two women yesterday. He frowned slightly and asked, "How come things are here? Where are they?"

"After the girl went out, they came and insisted on leaving the brocade box... I refused to accept the brocade box, so they put the brocade box outside the door. I chased me to the mountain gate and wanted to return it to them, but they were gone, so I had to take the brocade box in again." Xiangxiu knelt down.

Vanilla knelt down beside her, both of them looked worried, and they were worried that Song Ruoxi would get angry.

"If you accept it, just accept it. It's nothing important, get up." Everyone has left, and it would be useless to blame them any more. Song Ruoxi had no choice but to accept Chen Mo's generous gift.

"Girl, I know that I have made a mistake, please punish me." Xiang Xiu kowtowed.

Vanilla also kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Get up, it's not your fault." Song Ruoxi stepped forward and helped them up, "Forget it, don't mention this matter."

"Girl, how should I deal with this box?" Xiang Xiu asked.

"What else can we do? Put it away!" Song Ruoxi curled his lips and raised his eyebrows. "These jewelry is expensive. If we are too poor to eat in the future, we can get a pawnshop to exchange for silver."

"Miss, you're talking nonsense again." Xiang Xiu shook her head and sighed. Sometimes the girl is so unrestrained and can't even persuade her, which is really a headache.

Song Ruoxi stuck out his tongue, smiled, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "The vanilla has prepared a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. I want to copy the scriptures and practice calligraphy."

After cleaning his hands, he lit the sandalwood. Song Ruoxi sat beside the desk, took the pen with vanilla and handed it to the ink, and turned around and asked Xiangxiu, who was standing behind her, "Xiangxiu, what should I copy?"

"I heard from Master Jingping that I would copy a hundred copies of the Great Compassion Mantra in front of the Bodhisattva, so why not just copy the Great Compassion Mantra!"

"It's good to copy the Great Compassion Mantra, be calm." Song Ruoxi smiled bitterly. She was upset these two days. She should copy the Great Compassion Mantra, be quiet and write under the paper. "Namo, Drumlada, Dora Yeye..."

He focused on copying scriptures and practicing calligraphy. Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, the sun set and dusk fell. Oil lamps were lit in the temple. Huijin walked in and asked, "Jingchen, have you decided?"

"It's decided." Song Ruoxi put the temple guide in front of Huijin with both hands. Although he had only been with Lu Fengyan for one day and did not have a deep understanding of him, he was a good candidate in terms of his performance today. "Disciple should get married."

"When you have a decision, you will do it according to your decision. However, Jingchen, 'My husband was born to have a family, and a woman was born to have a family. Everyone has the heart of his parents. Without waiting for the orders of his parents, the matchmakers' words, peeking into the gaps and following the walls, then parents and people in the country will be despised.' You must keep these principles in mind." These secular rules and etiquette should not be spoken by people outside Huijin, but if she doesn't say it, it will be even more inappropriate for others in the temple to say it.

"I know what Master said. The Boudoir Rule also says that women should not talk or walk with their men casually. But Master, if I don't have the opportunity to contact them, I will accept my fate. I will accept my parents' orders, obey the matchmaker's words, marry blindly and be obedient. But now I have the opportunity to understand Lu Fengyan's character, and I want to know whether he is worthy of my marriage. I don't want to marry someone who is not human, and I will resent for a lifetime." Song Ruoxi looked directly at Huijin, with a hint of pain in her deep eyes. If she hadn't been here for no reason, how could she fall into such a situation?

Huijin pondered for a moment and said, "You have understood your ideas. What you want to do? You will not stop you, but you must agree to be your teacher and never do anything frivolous or corrupt your reputation."

"Master, I promise you that I will be cautious in my words and actions, and will never make a bad reputation, which will make my master angry." From those books, Song Ruoxi has learned that this society is strict with women. The prodigal son will never change his gold, and the woman will lose her footsteps forever. If she wants to look back, she will be long-lasting.

"When you go out, remember to bring your maid with you. There is no maid who follows the rules and serves you." Although with Song Ruoxi's promise, Huijin also believed that she would be trustworthy, but she would do things more carefully. An Yu would abide by ethics, but Lu Fengyan might not. If Song Ruoxi was deceived by his sweet words, not to mention that the Song family could not explain it, she would not want her apprentice to be taken into tragic situation of being a concubine in her old age.

Jinglian Temple has taken in many poor women who were either infatuated or deceived by men because of a moment of love, made mistakes, and did things that shame the family, but could not get family understanding and never turn back.

"I know, and in the future, I will bring Xiangxiu with me when I go out."

Huijin nodded slightly.

The next morning, the weather was still sunny. Song Ruoxi did not wait for Lu Fengyan to come, and his eyes were slightly condensed. Why didn't he come?

Could it be that she was asked to go to the lay Buddhist building to find him? If she was in modern times, it would be fine if she went to find him. However, yesterday Huijin had specifically warned her that if she took the initiative to find him today, it would not only be against the order of the teacher, but also a little shameless.

It would be better not to go. She is an unmarried girl who should be reserved. Yesterday she thought she did not obey etiquette and made a mistake. It was not too late to correct her today.

Although Lu Fengyan did not come, Song Ruoxi still went out with Xiangxiu and walked quietly along the mountain road. The shadows of trees were swaying, the air was fresh, and there were gentle and pleasant bird songs from time to time. Everything was so quiet and distant.

After passing through the pine forest, I saw a man standing on the huge rock with his hands behind his back, with a slender and upright figure, like a bamboo that is windy, but his back looks a little lonely.

Song Ruoxi smiled slightly. He waited for her here than went directly to the yard to find her, walked over and called, "Lu Fengyan."

Lu Fengyan had already known from the sound of footsteps that two people came, turned around, looked calm, and his eyes fell on Song Ruoxi, and asked, "Where is the best place to be the scenery?"

Song Ruoxi's eyes flowed and she smiled and said, "The infinite scenery is on the dangerous peaks."

"Go up and take a look?" Lu Fengyan asked.

"I'm afraid I can't walk halfway, and I'll drag you down when the time comes." Song Ruoxi said temptation.

"It's okay."

Song Ruoxi sighed inwardly, being with a man who was as proud as gold. He couldn't hear sweet words, so he could only imagine himself. He just thought he was not afraid of her being dragged down and said with a smile: "Then go up and see the scenery."

Lu Fengyan led the way, and Song Ruoxi's master and servant followed behind, keeping a three-step distance away. There are many pine and fir trees on the left mountain, as well as some mixed shrubs. Few people go to the top of the mountain to see any scenery. Pilgrims usually go to the temple or go to the right mountain to walk. The weeds on the rugged path are half a person tall.

Although Song Ruoxi and Xiangxiu are not wearing soft-soled embroidered shoes that girls often wear, but hard-soled monk's shoes, it is too difficult to get two weak women to climb to the top of the mountain.

"Lu Fengyan, I can't climb anymore." Song Ruoxi had no strength, half leaned in Xiangxiu's arms, and gasped.

Lu Fengyan looked back at her, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Let's go down the mountain?"

Song Ruoxi was so tired that his legs were weak. He found a place to sit down and said, "You go to the top of the mountain to see the scenery. I'll take a break here. When you come back, we will go down the mountain together."

"Okay." Lu Fengyan used his light skills, as fast as a meteor, and disappeared in a moment.

Looking at the figure who was leaving, Xiangxiu frowned slightly and walked to Song Ruoxi to sit down. Song Ruoxi leaned on Xiangxiu's shoulder and half-squinted her eyes. The forest was silent, and the sun shone through the branches and leaves, with mottled light and shadows.

Suddenly, a few strange noises came from a distance, which scared the master and servant, and quickly got up from the ground.

"Snake?" Song Ruoxi was afraid of the ring-shaped mollusk, and his voice trembled.

"It's not like a snake crawling by, it seems like something is shaking the branches." Xiang Xiu listened carefully and analyzed.

"Let's go over and take a look." If it's not a snake, Song Ruoxi would be so brave.

"Miss, it's too dangerous. You stand here and don't move. I'll check it out."

Song Ruoxi could let her take risks alone, "Let's go there together."

"Miss, this is too dangerous, let me go alone."

"It's because it's too dangerous that we have to go."

Xiang Xiu couldn't persuade her, and the master and servant carefully left, and found a wounded little squirrel in the bushes. The little thing was furry, with a pair of small eyes open and looked at the two people who suddenly appeared in horror. The little body curled into a ball, squeaking, and the big tail kept shaking.

"Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you, we are here to help you." Song Ruoxi comforted the little squirrel with a soft voice.

"Puchi" Xiangxiu laughed out loud, "Girl, the squirrel doesn't understand you."

Song Ruoxi approached the squirrel gently. The squirrel made a shrill cry, and his two front paws grabbed Song Ruoxi. If she hadn't shrunk quickly, she would have almost left a blood mark on her white and tender little hand.

"Girl, come on!" Xiang Xiu pulled out the handkerchief stuffed into her sleeve, shook it open, threw it over the squirrel's head, and just covered it under the handkerchief. While it was entangled with the handkerchief, Xiang Xiu stepped forward and grabbed it easily.

"Be careful, don't hurt it anymore." Song Ruoxi stepped forward to help, tied its front paws with a handkerchief, and looked carefully. He found that the squirrel's hind legs were cut by some unknown reason, and his flesh was blurred, making his whole body tremble, looking pitiful.

"How could it be so severely injured?" Xiang Xiu frowned.

"There are no fierce beasts on this mountain, and no one will come to catch it. The injury must be because it jumped around the tree and was scraped by the branches." Song Ruoxi pulled out his handkerchief and wanted to tear it in half, bandage it, and put medicine on it when he returned to the temple. However, the handkerchief was quite strong and could not be pulled open for a long time.

"What are you doing?" Lu Fengyan's voice sounded above the heads of the two.

Song Ruoxi looked up and said, "This little squirrel is injured. I'm bandaging it. Please tear this handkerchief open."

Lu Fengyan took the handkerchief, pulled it gently, divided it into two halves, and handed it back to her.

"Thank you." Song Ruoxi took the handkerchief and bandaged the little squirrel's claws.

The little squirrel fainted by Song Ruoxi's clumsy legs, or felt their kindness, closed their eyes and stayed in Xiangxiu's arms without moving.

"What's the scenery on the top of the mountain?" Finally, Song Ruoxi got up and asked.

"Okay." Lu Yan summarized it in one word.

"How is it a good method?" Song Ruoxi smiled and acted as a guide again.

Lu Fengyan pondered for a moment and said, "The sky is blue and clouds are light, the wind is strong and refreshing; the pine waves in the valleys and the green shadows of thousands of peaks."

Although it is still too simple, it has made progress compared to the moment, with at least fifteen more words. Let’s teach it slowly, so don’t worry. Song Ruoxi smiled and said, “After seeing the scenery, it’s time for us to go down the mountain and return to the temple!”

It took a long time to go up and down the mountain. A pilgrim who had arrived early came to the temple to worship Buddha and burn incense. Song Ruoxi was going to find Jingwen to apply medicine to the squirrel, and turned his head to Lu Yan and said, "Yunyan, you go around that path, don't walk through the temple, so as not to meet those pilgrimage who come to incense."

Lu Fengyan is introverted and has never wanted to meet outsiders. Song Ruoxi's words were deeply impressed by him. He nodded and walked towards the small path.

Song Ruoxi waited for him to walk away and took Xiangxiu to Xunjing. Jing asked it because of the heart of the Bodhisattva. She took the little squirrel, carefully applied medicine to it, bandaged it again, and said, "Junior brother, this squirrel is seriously injured and needs to be kept for several days before it can be released. Should you leave it to your senior brother or take it back to raise it yourself."

"Senior brother is busy with work, so it's better to keep Jingchen for a few days." Song Ruoxi said with a smile.

Jing asked and laughed: "This is the medicine. Junior brother remembers to change the medicine tomorrow."

"Thank you, senior brother, Jingchen is back." Song Ruoxiu hugged the squirrel and took Xiangxiu out of the door and walked to the purple bamboo forest. "Xiangxiu, can you weave a small cage?"

"I can't weave an exquisite cage. I can't weave a small cage that can hold it." Xiang Xiu laughed, broke a few thin bamboos, and weaved it while walking. When he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he had already weaved a simple cage.

Song Ruoxi put the squirrel into the cage, carried it into the door, and sat down under the tree to greet her. Song Ruoxi handed the cage to her, "Vanilla, I'll take care of this little thing these days."

Vanilla smiled and nodded, carrying a cage to find pine nuts to feed the squirrels.

Song Ruoxi walked straight back to the room because Lu Fengyan was going to the top of the mountain to see the scenery. She missed the time to use the morning vegetarian food. She was really hungry now. Xiang Xiu was also hungry. When she saw her actions, she only wanted to smile. She pursed her lips and didn't stop, and followed her quickly.

After having eaten early vegetarian food, it was already too late. Song Ruoxi did not go to Anyu. He entered the room to copy scriptures and practice calligraphy. During the lunch vegetarian food, he went to Huijin's room and accompanied her to vegetarian food and chatted for a few words. He took a half hour nap in the afternoon, got up and stroked the guzheng for half an hour, read for a while, embroidered a handkerchief, and teased the little squirrel with pine nuts for a while. When the sun sets in the west, Xiangxiu asked her to prepare bath water and take a bath and change clothes. After using pastries, she sat in the yard and shook the round fan to cool off. The day passed by.

The next day was June 19th. Fangchen, who was thirteen years old in Song Ruoxi, was also the day when Guanyin Bodhisattva became enlightened. The weather was clear and cloudless. There was a fun in the temple in the temple. However, Song Ruoxi never liked to join in the fun and went to the courtyard where she lived early.

Because it was Song Ruoxi's birthday, the three of them said auspicious words and gave them birthday gifts. Anyu gave her a pair of green jade bracelets. Lu Fengyan gave her a lotus-shaped inkstone, and Silkworm's mother cooked a bowl of longevity noodles. In this seventy years, longevity may be the best blessing.

"Thank you Aunt An, thank you, thank you, thank you, Cai Niang." Song Ruoxi took the salute and thanked the three of them one by one.

When he used the premature vegetarian, An Yu went to knock on wooden fish and recite scriptures. Song Ruoxi and Lu Fengyan sat down to talk. Silkworm was busy picking vegetables and washing vegetables and preparing for lunch.

"I lost again." After a game of chess, Song Ruoxi defeated the man opposite again with half his eyes. He looked at the man opposite him. He was so stupid that he didn't know how to make her happy.

Lu Fengyan was confused by her eyes, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Song Ruoxi sighed lightly, enlightening himself. She didn't care about winning or losing. It would be meaningless if he really wanted to lose to her deliberately.

"One more game?"
