Chapter 244 Cat's Candy (Two Chapters in One)

"Do you know anyone over there?" Feng Yalan thought for a moment and then looked at the little Taoist nun beside her.

Needless to say, the "over there" she was referring to was Xihuaju where the old concubine lived.

The little nun nodded. Of course she knew him. She was also a daughter of the royal family, but her fate was not good. She would bring misfortune to her father and brother, so she was sent here when she was three years old. She grew up in Zizhu Temple. There was no one in Zizhu Temple that she didn't know, and nothing that she didn't know.

"If that girl just now wanted to ask about me, could you help me lead her here?" Feng Yalan asked.

The little nun smiled and said, "Of course I can. Just wait, I'll go to Xihuaju to play."

Although she had become a nun a long time ago, she was still young. Apart from the daily morning and evening classes, she was lively and restless. She was either helping one to plant vegetables or helping another to water the flowers. It was she who took the initiative to deliver porridge to Feng Yalan. The old concubines in Xihuaju raised a few rabbits, and she often cut grass to feed the rabbits. After a few visits, she became familiar with all the maids and servants in Xihuaju, and the two old concubines often gave her snacks.

The little nun said goodbye to Feng Yalan and went to cut grass for the rabbits. The place with the most grass in Zizhu Temple was under the big trees next to the east gate.

She walked over with the basket and saw the two cats she had seen last time.

She exclaimed and walked over quickly. A cat dodged at the right time, so she had to hug the big orange cat.

"I'm sorry, there is no meat in the Taoist temple, and I have nothing delicious to give you." She felt a little embarrassed, because last time these two cats brought her a big bag of delicious candy.

The orange cat meowed twice, let her stroke it twice, then crawled out of her arms and ran behind a big tree, not forgetting to turn around and call to her.

The little nun already had experience. Her eyes lit up and she trotted over. She saw a basket behind the big tree, and in the basket was another bag of candy.

There are cats in Zizhu Temple, more than one, and the little nun knows them all.

She still remembered the first time she saw this orange cat. It was the white cat in the temple who brought her here. She was shocked because she saw not only a cat, but also an eagle.

The eagle had a basket in its beak. It put the basket down, flapped its wings and flew away.

In addition to a bag of candy, there was also a bag of dried fish in the basket. The candy was hers, and the dried fish was of course for the white cat that led the way.

She didn't know who gave her these candies, so she didn't dare eat them for fear they might be poisonous. She also knew that one shouldn't accept gifts without merit.

She couldn't find the orange cat, but she saw the white cat. The white cat was walking in front of her, and looked back at her after every few steps. She followed the white cat and came to the cottage where Feng Yalan lived.

She knew Feng Yalan, a very gentle and kind sister.

But today, Feng Yalan looked very bad, as if she was sick.

The white cat looked at her again, then turned and ran away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

In a flash, the little nun understood that the orange cat gave her candy and the white cat led the way just to bring her here.

Could it be that he wants her to help take care of Feng Yalan?

Just take care of her, she is free anyway.

She ran to the dining hall and exchanged a few candies for a bowl of steaming rice porridge. Although the life in Zizhu Temple was not as harsh as that in Ci'en Temple, not everyone could eat rice. The abbot often said that monks should behave like monks.

This bowl of porridge is made with pure rice, nothing else mixed in, and it is filled with the aroma of rice.

She brought the bowl of porridge to Feng Yalan, and Feng Yalan also treated her to some candy. The little nun was very happy. She was very happy to have the candy and also very happy to help others.

Now she saw another bag of candy and felt a little embarrassed. After thinking for a while, she said to the orange cat, "Wait for me, I'll be back soon."

She actually wasn't sure whether the orange cat gave her candy because of Feng Yalan, but this was the only reason she could think of.

She rushed back to her residence. She was not one of those low-ranking palace maids who had nowhere to go. She was a legitimate royal family girl. Although she was sent here, her family donated silver to the Taoist temple every year. She lived well here and would not think about going home. If she did not go home, she would not bring bad luck to her family. Therefore, in order to prevent her from going home, her family was willing to give her silver.

Therefore, she had her own separate room in the temple, and before she was five years old, an old Taoist nun took care of her. When she grew up, she could wash her hair and clothes by herself and no longer needed anyone to take care of her.

She took out a piece of paper used for copying scriptures and quickly wrote down what had happened in the past few days.

He blew the writing on the paper dry, patted it into a square, and found a small purse for herbs and put the square in it.

She went back to the big tree, and the orange cat jumped down from the tree and looked at her with a smile.

Really, she really felt that the cat was smiling at her.

The little nun smiled happily, touched the orange cat's big head, tied the small purse that still smelled of medicine around the orange cat's neck, then picked up the bag of candy with peace of mind, waved at the orange cat, and skipped away.

......

Zhao Shiqing was stunned when she saw the extra pouch on Dapang's neck. Could it be that he really did this?

There were many female members of the royal family living in Zizhu Temple, and not just anyone could enter. Zhao Shiqing had never thought of sneaking in from the beginning. She was the only blood of the old Shi family and her grandfather's beloved granddaughter. She valued her life very much and would not take risks lightly.

However, she has a younger brother named Zhao Tingluo who knows everything. Zhao Tingluo has a cousin who was sent to Zizhu Temple since she was young. His cousin is the same age as him, only a few months older than him, and is the youngest child in Zizhu Temple.

Zhao Shiqing sent the most approachable and likable Fatty to take action.

Why not choose Xiao Yao?

Need I ask?

Sister Yao is not someone who can be rubbed or pushed down whenever she wants. If I don’t grab you with a face full of peach blossoms, I’m not Sister Yao.

But Dapang is different. Can an ordinary cat go from being a stray cat to having a life of luxury?

A big fat one, a little cute one, and a bag of candy.

Even if it doesn't work out, it doesn't matter. Big Fatty is good at Qinggong and can run very fast, and Little Guai can fly. As for that bag of candy, there is not a single word on it. It's up to whoever wants it, it has nothing to do with me anyway.

As for the bag of dried fish, it was the activity funds that Zhao Shiqing gave to Dapang. Facts have proved that this activity fund was well spent.

The white cat was born and raised in Zizhu Temple. Several generations of his ancestors have lived here. All the cats in Zizhu Temple are his relatives.

Although there are many people in Zizhu Temple, it may not know them by name, but if it is asked to find the child, it will definitely not find the wrong person.

When Dapang met the little nun for the first time, he came back and told Zhao Shiqing everything. Zhao Shiqing only knew that she had taken the first step. As for the rest, it depended on whether the little nun was smart enough.

Now it seems that the child is not only smart, but also has a pure and bright mind. For a little girl like her who is despised by her family, living in Zizhu Temple is far better than staying in the backyard and being treated harshly by her relatives.

After reading the letter, Zhao Shiqing did not hide this matter from Zhao Tingluo. Of course, she spoke selectively and did not mention Yang Shengqiu.

Zhao Tingluo was so smart that he knew as soon as he heard it that Zhao Shiqing would definitely not help Feng Yalan, a stranger, for no reason. But if Zhao Shiqing didn't say it, he wouldn't ask.

Children who grew up in the palace know better than anyone that curiosity kills the cat.

He said to Zhao Shiqing, "Sister, don't worry. If my cousin wants to come back in the future, I will definitely take her back. If she wants to get married, I will give her a beautiful wedding. If she doesn't want to get married, I will support her for the rest of her life. I can make the decision."

When his grandfather died, he would be the most powerful in Prince Fu's Mansion. His uncles would have to depend on him for their fortune now, not to mention in the future.

This cousin was the daughter of his second uncle. It was said that they originally wanted to kill her, but his second aunt refused to let her go, so she brought the matter to his grandfather. His grandfather didn't want to keep this granddaughter with a tough fate, but was also afraid that his second aunt would make a big deal out of it, so he chose a moderate solution and sent his cousin to Zizhu Temple to become a nun.

Although Prince Fu would not die for a while, and Prince Fu's Mansion would not fall into Xiao Luoluo's hands within a few years, Zhao Shiqing was still very relieved that he could say this.

She didn't care about what happened next. She didn't know Feng Yalan at all, and she could only help her up to this point. Whether Feng Yalan would repeat the mistakes of her previous life depended on herself.

At this time, Feng Yalan didn't know that outside the Taoist temple, a little girl whom she had never even met secretly helped her.

She sat cross-legged in meditation, but she couldn't calm down. She simply stood up, walked out of the house, and took in the Taoist robe that was hanging outside.

As soon as I entered the house, the clear and pleasant voice of the little Taoist nun rang out from outside the door: "Mr. Feng, are you there?"

Hearing this voice, Feng Yalan curled up a gentle smile, put down the clothes in her hands, and went out to greet him.

The little nun did not come alone. There was a girl in green clothes and white skirt standing next to her. Feng Yalan recognized her at a glance. This was the maid who talked to Yang Shengqiu yesterday.

"Mr. Feng, this is Miss Wenlan. She heard that you were sick and insisted on coming to see you." The little nun was still holding a piece of uneaten cake in her hand.

Although there is no shortage of food and drink in the Taoist temple, there are no snacks. The little nun is still a child, and which child doesn't like snacks?

Miss Wenlan catered to the little nun's preferences and won her over with just a piece of cake. Before she knew it, a hint of pride appeared in her eyes.

"Thank you for your kindness, young lady. I'm almost recovered now." Feng Yalan said softly.

Wenlan looked her up and down, her smile not reaching her eyes. Is this the daughter of the Prime Minister? Nothing more than that.

It is said that Miss Feng Wu was touched by two servants and her innocence has long been lost. It is too embarrassing to tell others about it. The Feng family is really uncouth. They don't even give her a white silk cloth, but keep her to embarrass herself?

Although the Zhou Mansion cannot compare with the Feng Mansion, the girls in the mansion are not so shameless. After all, they are a family that has produced a concubine, so they are different.

Wenlan straightened her back. Although she and Feng Yalan were about the same height, she looked down at Feng Yalan. This was something she learned from her own wife. Her wife looked at her concubine in the same way.

"Miss Feng, you've been here for a while, haven't your family come to see you?"

Feng Yalan lowered her head slightly, hiding the light in her eyes, and hesitated without speaking.

In Wenlan's opinion, Feng Yalan was too embarrassed to speak up.

Sure enough, the little nun was right. The Feng family had never been there.

Her trip this time was a bit unnecessary, but it would be good to ask in person. Yang Zhuangyuan asked her to find out because he trusted her, and she couldn't let Yang Zhuangyuan down.

"Hasn't he been here before?" Wenlan asked.

Feng Yalan slowly shook her head: "No."

Wenlan looked as if she knew it, and continued, "I heard you were born out of wedlock, and your aunt hasn't come to see you, has she?"

Feng Yalan continued to shake her head. It was she who did not allow her aunt to come, for fear that her aunt would go back to eat the first meal. Besides, although her aunt had never come to see her, she gave all her savings to her. Unfortunately, in her dream, she did not see the ending of her aunt. She was a useless person, and her aunt could not rely on her, so she could only stay in the Feng Mansion and spend the rest of her life.

Seeing her shake her head again, Wenlan breathed a sigh of relief. She had been here with her wife for a few days and knew that Princess Jiarou was not something she could see whenever she wanted.

If anyone could see it, my wife would have seen it long ago.

His wife asked the old concubine for help and invited Princess Jiarou to Xihuaju. The old concubine shook her head repeatedly. She was just an old lady without children and could not rely on her family. She did not want to waste the last bit of favor given by the royal family for those useless people in her family.

Although Princess Jiarou doesn't care about worldly affairs, as far as she knows, none of the princesses, except Jiale, are easy to get along with. None of them is a good person, and she doesn't want to provoke them. What if her niece-in-law says something that makes Jiarou unhappy, and she goes to the palace to file a complaint, then it will be difficult for her to continue her current peaceful life.

Wenlan had heard her wife's complaints several times and had no hope for Feng Yalan. However, she heard that Princess Jiarou had given Feng Yalan medicine, so she felt it necessary to ask a few more questions.

"You've been staying in the temple for a while. Have you ever paid your respects to Princess Jiarou? Don't say you haven't. I don't believe it."

Feng Yalan finally raised her head. "Yes, of course I have. How could I forget what my father told me before I left home? I was sick the day before yesterday, and it was only after taking the medicine sent by His Highness that I recovered. When I am completely cured, I will go and thank His Highness in person."

Wenlan was stunned. This bitch actually had a relationship with Princess Jiarou?

You won’t be able to find out anything about Princess Jiarou in Zizhu Temple.

Princess Jiarou is of noble status, how can she be discussed in private?

Therefore, no matter who you ask, the answer is always three words - I don't know, or I'm not sure.

Feng Yalan hinted that she had a friendship with Princess Jiarou, but Wenlan could not verify it.

She raised her chin and looked behind Feng Yalan: "Miss Feng is so arrogant, don't you even invite the guests in to sit down?"

Feng Yalan smiled apologetically: "My humble abode is simple, and I am afraid of soiling the girl's clothes."

Wenlan waved her hand and said, "It's okay. I don't mind."

Feng Yalan had no choice but to invite her and the little nun to go in together.

The room was indeed simple. Wenlan sat down on the only chair and her eyes fell on an envelope on the table.

Although she was not very literate, she recognized the words on the envelope.

My son personally wrote this!
