Chapter 634 Ling Jiang Asks the Embroiderer, Rong Zhen Asks Hong Zi [Bonus Chapter for 7k words, please vote!]
At the table, Ouyang Rong snapped out of his daze and rubbed his face.
He picked up the bronze dagger again.
If the secrets of the Shangqing Maoshan Ancestral Hall are reliable, this Yunmeng Token may not only have the nominal purpose of Yunmeng Jianze in mobilizing the anti-Zhou righteous men of Tiannan Jianghu.
Instead, it involves a legendary grand formation that affects the entire southern region.
Or rather, the Yunmeng Order was involved with this legendary formation at least for a period of time.
Whether this is why it gradually transformed from a practical item into a symbol, evolving into the precious token it is today that can command a region, remains unknown.
Whether the great array set up by the early Yunmeng Yue women is still operational is unknown... and so on.
Ouyang Rong gripped the Yunmeng Token tightly and turned his head to look out the window towards the Xunyang Grottoes.
There is a large Buddha statue that is slowly being completed and is nearing completion.
Is it possible that this legendary grand formation is actually still operating silently?
The reason why Yunmeng Jianze strongly opposed the Donglin Buddha's landing in Jiangzhou was precisely because the Donglin Buddha would destroy the great formation they were protecting.
Is this something that truly offended them, rather than simply a matter of disliking Buddhism and opposing Zhou dynasty culture?
Otherwise, why would the Yue maiden from Yunmeng Sword Marsh, who was staying peacefully in Yunmeng Marsh, come down the mountain to meddle in worldly affairs?
Moreover, as a reclusive sect, it has maintained its influence over the southern region through things like the Yunmeng Token and the Yuanjun faith, and occasionally intervenes in the mortal world. Perhaps it is also to protect this legendary array whose purpose is unknown.
The fact that Empress Wei is currently building the Donglin Buddha in Jiangzhou, and that Yunmeng Jianze is able to unite most of the Jianghu in the south to fight against the enemy, is clear evidence of this.
There was also what Li Xian had revealed at the dinner table not long ago: when the Great Gan Dynasty was first established, the Yue maiden who was then the Yuan Emperor entered the Chang'an Imperial Palace alone and made a treaty with Emperor Taizong Wen, which ensured that the Jianghu in the south and the Great Gan Dynasty would not interfere with each other and could coexist peacefully for decades...
So here's the question: setting aside what this legendary grand formation is for, why is Yunmeng Jianze so focused on protecting it?
Let's just talk about why the Donglin Buddha could threaten this legendary formation.
Doesn't this mean that the Donglin Buddha is not simple, and may very well involve the establishment of a similar grand formation?
How can I allow someone else to snore beside my bed?
The two are mutually antagonistic and cannot coexist.
That's why the Donglin Buddha provoked such a reaction from Yunmeng Jianze; it was a thorn in his side that had to be removed from the Jianghu of Tiannan...
Ouyang Rong stood up, paced around the study, and muttered to himself:
"If the future Yuanjun Yue Chuzi is a crucial part of this formation, then is Yue Chuzi's current infiltration of the city part of these Yue women's plan? Or is it just an accident, that she was attracted by the [Craftsmanship] and accidentally stayed behind..."
Ouyang Rong lingered inside the room for a long time.
I returned to the table and sat quietly for the entire afternoon.
...
Meiyingzhai
A study in a three-story red building.
After Ouyang Rong and Lu Ya left.
"Sister Xie, is there something you need to ask me to stay?"
Li Guo'er glanced at Xie Lingjiang, who had pulled her to stay, and asked curiously.
Xie Lingjiang did not answer, but stood still, her hands clasped, her brows furrowed.
Her furrowed brows added a touch of melancholy to her oval face.
Seeing that Sister Xie remained silent for a moment, Li Guo'er walked to the window, glanced at Ouyang Rong's departing figure downstairs, and asked with a light laugh.
"Sister Xie, aren't you going to see your senior brother off? By the way, I remember when you went to Xunyang Grottoes to look for someone, you were wearing a red dress. Why are you changing into something else now? It's a beautiful sunny day outside. You're wasting so many clothes just to go see your senior brother, aren't you..."
Xie Lingjiang interrupted, "Sister Guo'er, stop joking. What time is it?"
"What do you mean, when is it?"
Li Guo'er leaned against the windowsill, her hands supporting her chin. Her eyes were crinkled into crescent moons as she smiled and asked a question.
Xie Lingjiang's pretty face turned serious:
"My eldest brother was on his way back when he suddenly asked me if I knew about his past relationship with a child bride..."
Li Guo'er maintained her nonchalant smile and tilted her head slightly:
"Just ask, what did you answer?"
"Of course I can't lie to my senior brother. I'll just say I know, that Aunt Zhen mentioned it."
"You can't tell the whole truth, right? And then what?"
Li Guo'er nodded slightly.
"Then when we got there, we didn't mention it again."
Xie Lingjiang lowered her head and spoke softly.
"That's settled then, what's there to worry about?"
Li Guo'er shrugged.
"Why did you suddenly ask, Senior Brother? Did you discover something?"
Xie Lingjiang looked up and asked.
"He only mentioned the engagement, right? Maybe he was afraid you'd feel uncomfortable about it, and he felt guilty towards you instead."
"Is this all..." she murmured.
"Otherwise what?"
Li Guo'er tilted her head and asked in return.
Xie Lingjiang bit her lip, staring blankly at the seat where Ouyang Rong had once sat.
After a short while, she said quietly:
"Last time, when Yunmeng Sword Marsh attacked the Star Lake Buddha, both the eldest daughter, Xue Zhongzhu, and the second daughter, Yu Nianyuan, came... I was worried that she might also make an appearance, but thankfully... she probably didn't come; I didn't see her anywhere..."
Xie Lingjiang's chest heaved noticeably, as if she had breathed a sigh of relief.
"Do you feel guilty?"
Li Guo'er suddenly asked.
Xie Lingjiang pursed her lips and did not answer.
Li Guo'er waved her hand, utterly bewildered, almost laughing in exasperation:
"What are you feeling guilty about? It was her senior sisters who looked down on us and insisted on taking her away. That day, her second senior sister even spoke to us privately and made it clear that she wanted to take her away, but we were not allowed to mention her in front of Ouyang Lianghan. Moreover, she tacitly approved of this embroiderer. What is there for you to feel guilty about?"
"Besides, we were just commoners living in Longcheng back then, and we hadn't changed our name from Su to Li yet. Ouyang Lianghan was also unconscious. How could we have such a prominent and glorious scene now? We can't fight city hall. How could we dare not listen to them?"
"Moreover, to put it bluntly, these female cultivators from Yunmeng didn't take us seriously at all. They didn't even ask about our specific situation, and they seemed uninterested. In their eyes, the county magistrate was just a minor official, and our Su family was just a wealthy family in the county town."
"It's only because you, Sister Xie, are from Bailudong Academy and have the surname Xie that you were able to invite the divine doctor from Zaoge Mountain. That's why they took a second look at you, but it was just a second look. They were the ones who saved the person afterward."
"Sister Xie, you are kind-hearted, and at that time your heart was completely devoted to Ouyang Lianghan. You couldn't feel it, but I saw it clearly from the side. Whether it was the domineering and unreasonable eldest queen or the seemingly gentle and easy-going second queen, they both exuded an attitude of extreme aloofness."
"Ha, in their eyes, apart from having the same two eyes, one nose, and one mouth, and breathing the same air, we are actually two different races. One is in the heavens, and the other is on the ground. They are the high and mighty goddesses of Yunmeng, while we are just mortals. Not only are we inferior in terms of Qi cultivation and physical body, but even our thoughts are a level lower, still indulging in the so-called mortal world..."
Li Guo'er gave a soft snort, her face indifferent:
"However, they do have the right to be arrogant and haughty. After all, they are a reclusive sect. How many sects are there in this world? South of the Yangtze River, Yunmeng Sword Marsh is even more supreme. I saw it when I was looking through historical records a few days ago. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties a hundred years ago, the princesses of the Southern Kingdom's royal family had to obediently offer themselves up and enter the palace to become Yue women and serve the so-called Yuanjun..."
"Anyway, in the end, it's only that embroiderer girl who's a good person. Despite being a maiden from Yue, she's so kind, gentle, approachable, and very caring..."
At this point, as if catching a glimpse of Xie Lingjiang's expression, Li Guo'er glanced at it smoothly and continued:
"It's just a pity that he's mute. He's such a good person, yet his life has been so full of hardship."
She suppressed her regretful tone and looked at Xie Lingjiang with a hint of disappointment:
"So why should Sister Xie feel guilty? We didn't deceive or steal Ouyang Lianghan. It's just that these goddesses looked down on Ouyang Lianghan and discarded him like trash, leaving him to us in Longcheng."
"Actually, I'm not angry that they looked down on me. In fact, it seems we should thank them. Without Ouyang Lianghan, we would hardly have made it this far. Not to mention that this guy is a once-in-a-century swordsman who was able to obtain a newly born cauldron sword to recognize him as his master..."
"Heh, the women of Yunmeng Yue don't know what they've lost, but in the end, the one who suffered the most was that embroiderer girl... but it was her senior sisters who caused the trouble, it has nothing to do with you and me."
At this point, Li Guo'er gracefully stepped forward, hands behind her back, and slightly raised her head to pat Xie Lingjiang's shoulder:
"Now that I've given you this advice, do you feel a little better? Sister Xie is just too empathetic and considerate of others, which makes it easy for her to wrong herself. No wonder she gets bullied by Ouyang Lianghan every day."
Xie Lingjiang looked dazed and lost in thought, unsure of how to begin.
At this moment, Li Guo'er sneered and said:
"The most ironic thing is that we are not the same as before. In just one year, the Xunyang Prince's Mansion is no longer the precarious Su Mansion in Longcheng. Your senior brother has risen to prominence, becoming a scholar and governing a prefecture. However, it seems that the Yunmeng Sword Marsh is unaware of this."
This little princess with plum blossom makeup, dressed in a moon-white men's outfit, swayed her head and said leisurely:
"Heh, they don't know that the current Xunyang Prince's Mansion is the same as the small Su family that used to stand like lackeys. They don't know that your senior brother has shed his position as a minor county magistrate and is now a scholar who has been promoted to governor."
"Given the nature of these high and mighty goddesses of Yunmeng, if I'm not mistaken, they probably still don't realize that Ouyang Rong and Ouyang Lianghan are actually the same person. Their statuses are vastly different, so they can't possibly connect them. That makes sense, since scholars' courtesy names are given by their teachers during their studies, and officials become famous throughout the land because of their courtesy names. They probably only know the name Ouyang Rong from the embroiderer, no, they might have even forgotten that name. They usually refer to him as 'the mortal boy of Yue Chuzi,' hmm, otherwise why would they call him a nobleman? He's just forgetful."
Xie Lingjiang pursed her red lips and glanced at Li Guo'er, who was smiling sweetly.
The latter smirked, his tone suggesting he was enjoying the spectacle.
"These goddesses of Yunmeng are unaware that the Donglin Buddha, which is currently causing them so much trouble, was built under the supervision of this 'mortal husband of Yue Chuzi,' whose name they have forgotten. They are also unaware that the announcements and the elaborate nets set up by the female officials of the Censorate throughout Jiangnan were also orchestrated by this 'mortal husband of Yue Chuzi.' Furthermore, they are unaware that the owner of the Butterfly Love Flower, who took the new mythical cauldron sword from Longcheng, is also this 'mortal husband of Yue Chuzi.'"
Li Guo'er smiled:
"This princess really wants to see their faces when they find out the truth. It will be more interesting than the fireworks of the Lantern Festival, tsk tsk."
Xie Lingjiang frowned, hesitated, and then spoke:
“But it will be difficult for my senior brother to find out, and... that embroiderer will also be in a difficult position.”
“No, Ouyang Lianghan is not the kind of person who gets caught up in personal feelings. The Donglin Buddha statue, which he oversaw the construction of in Xunyang Grottoes, was always a choice he made after careful consideration.”
Li Guo'er immediately shook her head, her voice crisp and strong:
"Even if he knows about the embroiderer's affair, he probably won't change his mind, because his public-spiritedness will definitely outweigh his personal interests, that much is certain. Sister Xie, you have to trust your senior brother."
Xie Lingjiang was quiet for a while, then suddenly picked up the teacup that her senior brother hadn't touched, tilted her head back, and drank the tea in one gulp.
Li Guo'er picked up the folding fan that she had placed on the table, unfolded it with a "whoosh," and gently fanned her.
The little princess with plum blossom makeup said with a half-smile:
"No wonder you didn't say a word or offer any suggestions during our discussion about the message from the Grand Queen of Yunmeng Sword Marsh that the Sanqing Daoist sect received."
"Sister Xie, you're actually worried that if your senior brother continues like this, he'll directly clash with Yunmeng Jianze, and then he'll run into Xiu Niang again."
"So, for now, let's accept that unreasonable demand from the Great Queen, step aside, and watch the tigers fight from the sidelines. Isn't that a good idea?"
Xie Lingjiang pursed her lips, stood up abruptly, snatched the black and white folding fan that Li Guo'er was gently waving from her hand, and strode out the door with her long legs.
Her tall, graceful figure disappeared at the stairwell under the amused gazes of her best friend and her mischievous friend.
Inside and outside the study, only Xie Lingjiang's cold snort remained.
"She's such a chatterbox, so annoying."
...
Ouyang Rong pondered for a long time last night.
I got up early this morning, all dressed and ready to go.
I just arrived at the breakfast hall to inform my aunt that I wouldn't be eating at home this morning.
As soon as I entered, I saw a beautiful figure in a bright red dress, as vibrant as a rose, sitting at the table, sipping soup with a silver spoon and listening to my aunt talk.
Xie Lingjiang smiled sweetly as she dined with Zhen Shuyuan, who was beaming from ear to ear.
As soon as Ouyang Rong appeared at the door, both the adult and the child's eyes fell on him.
"Junior Sister?" Ouyang Rong asked curiously.
"Why did you get up so early today, Senior Brother?" Xie Lingjiang asked.
Ouyang Rong was speechless: "I was going to ask my junior sister why she got up so early."
Zhen Shuyuan explained, "Wanwan came to visit me and also to discuss my birthday gift another day."
Xie Lingjiang put down the bowl and wiped her lips with a handkerchief:
“It just so happens that Fellow Daoist Lu has arrived. He is guarding the Prince’s residence. The Prince and Sister Guo’er don’t have any plans today, so they don’t need me there for the time being. I missed Aunt Zhen, so I came to visit her.”
"oh."
Ouyang Rong nodded.
He noticed that a wooden comb in Zhen Shuyuan's hair had disappeared, and the Taoshouzhai pastries that had been on the table for several days and had not been finished had also vanished without a trace. He wondered if Banxi and the others had put them away.
"Tanlang, sit down and eat with us."
Ouyang Rong turned to Zhen Shuyuan and said:
"No need, I'm not hungry this morning. Aunt and Junior Sister, please eat. I have something to do, so I'll head out now."
"Where is Senior Brother going? So early." Xie Ling asked Jiang Qi.
Ouyang Rong said seriously, "About yesterday, I went to the Xunyang Grottoes." Then he casually invited, "Junior Sister, would you like to come along? If you haven't finished eating, then forget it, you can spend more time with your aunt..."
"No need, I'm full. I got up early today and feel a little tired after eating. I'll go back to my room to rest first."
The beautiful woman in the flowing robe, seated gracefully on the stool, waved her hand and said kindly to Xie Lingjiang:
"Wanwan, go and protect your senior brother."
"good."
Xie Lingjiang hesitated for a moment, then got up and followed Ouyang Rong.
Before leaving the breakfast hall, Ouyang Rong noticed that his aunt gave him a meaningful look...
Not long after, at the back gate near the stable.
As soon as Ouyang Rong sat down in the carriage, he silently looked at his junior sister who had followed him and sat down peacefully. His expression was not one of rejection, but rather one of hesitation.
"Don't worry, senior brother, I'm in a good mood today, so I won't stoop to her level."
Ouyang Rong breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay."
They remained silent the entire way.
The two arrived at Xunyang Grottoes at Shuangfengjian.
With Wang Caozhi absent, Ouyang Rong left Xie Lingjiang to wander around. After asking for directions, he soon found Rongzhen, who was leading people to inspect the place where the Buddha head was kept.
When the latter saw him, his usually stern face showed a hint of surprise.
The lady turned her head and glanced at the rising sun in the east, as if confirming something.
"I apologize for taking up Ms. Rong's time."
Ouyang Rong pulled her aside to a secluded spot, took out a Yunmeng Token from his sleeve, and went straight to the point:
"We have just received news from the Prince of Xunyang's residence that there is something suspicious about the Yunmeng Tokens that have been widely distributed in Yunmeng Sword Marsh. According to the investigation, this item is vaguely connected to a legendary mysterious array in Yunmeng Sword Marsh, which may affect the entire Tiannan region... Lady Rong, please be very careful and pay close attention to this item."
Rong Zhen, who was initially impatient, paused slightly and turned to look at him directly.
Ouyang Rong had expected the Lady Historian to press him for details, asking whether the source of the information was reliable, so he had already prepared his excuses.
But she didn't say anything, and her expression didn't even change.
Ouyang Rong frowned slightly and couldn't help but speak:
"Um, why are you staring at me like that? Doesn't Lady Rong have anything to say?"
Rong Zhen glanced a few more times at the young governor who had rushed over, his gaze falling on the governor's serious face before shifting to the bronze short sword in the governor's hand.
After a moment, she spoke:
"I understand, thank you for reminding me. Ouyang Lianghan, you've come so early, have you eaten yet?"
Ouyang Rong frowned as he looked at her, then suddenly asked:
"Lady Rong was prepared all along? So, you knew all along?"
Rong Zhen lowered her eyes and said, "Didn't we submit a memorial a few days ago? People from Luoyang will be coming."
Before Ouyang Rong could speak, Rong Zhen whispered again:
"And isn't the Censorate busy with this matter recently, conducting a thorough search of Jiangzhou, especially Xunyang City, for all the Yunmeng Tokens... This item is already a first-class contraband; daring to possess it is a capital offense. Ouyang Lianghan, didn't you participate in this a while ago? Have you forgotten?"
Ouyang Rong raised an eyebrow:
"It's true that they participated in the assistance, but there are definitely more than they could collect. There are definitely some bold people who might carry this order and sneak into Xunyang City without anyone noticing, getting close to the grotto... There are always people in the Jianghu of the south who are not afraid of death."
“That makes sense…” Rong Zhen nodded slightly, seemingly in agreement, but her eyes quickly glanced at a beautiful figure in red strolling through the grottoes not far behind Ouyang Rong, before the topic returned to food:
"Let me make this clear beforehand, I don't take care of your junior sister's meals... Never mind, I won't invite you to eat."
Ouyang Rong felt that Rong Zhen was deliberately avoiding the topic, and pursed his lips.
"Anything is fine."
He looked around and casually asked:
"By the way, where's Wang Caozhi? I haven't seen him this time. He used to always be there right away. He seems to have a lot of free time."
Rong Zhen replied expressionlessly, "I don't know, maybe they're busy."
"Oh. But why is this kid so busy again..."
Ouyang Rong muttered to himself, nodded, and didn't pay any attention.
"Come with me."
Rongzhen suddenly walked forward, and looking in the direction she was heading, she was going to the preservation site of the Buddha's head at Donglin Buddha.
Ouyang Rong obediently followed.
Rongzhen seemed to be continuing her inspection.
Ouyang Rong followed behind her, glancing every now and then at the restored golden Buddha head in front of him.
The enormous Buddha head was wrapped in a tarpaulin sheet several tens of feet in size, and only the general outline of the Buddha's face could be seen.
According to what Wang Caozhi had said before, Lady Rong would come to check the Buddha head every day, and Deputy Supervisor Song had been living in a tent not far from the Buddha head for the past two months, guarding it almost around the clock.
"Ouyang Lianghan, are you sure this fabric is waterproof and moisture-proof?"
Rong Zhen's cold voice brought Ouyang Rong back to his senses. He glanced at her and nodded calmly.
"Um."
He was in charge of the moisture protection measures for the Donglin Buddha head. Last Lantern Festival, Ms. Rong even came to him for this "small matter".
"good."
Rong Zhen nodded slightly, squinted at the sky, and suddenly said:
"The rainy season is almost here, and there will be quite a lot of rain."
Ouyang Rong subconsciously said:
"Jiangzhou is like this: there is a lot of water. Not only does it have many waterways from the Jiangnan region converge here, but the air is also humid, and the plum rain season is extremely long, which makes flooding a major problem."
When he mentioned his old profession of water management, he spoke confidently, waving his hand:
"However, there is no need to worry about Xunyang City right now. This newly opened tributary of the Xun River at Shuangfengjian has already greatly alleviated the flooding in Xunyang. In any case, it will definitely not interfere with the Donglin Buddha."
Rong Zhen glanced at Ouyang Rong's radiant face, and her originally stern expression softened slightly, though almost imperceptibly. At least Ouyang Rong didn't notice. In his and many others' eyes, the Lady Historian only had two forms: a face that looked like she owed money and a face that didn't...
Rongzhen pointed to the headless Buddha carved into the cliff face in the grotto and asked:
"So, although this grotto is open to the public, the Buddha statue is recessed inwards, allowing it to be sheltered from the rain and serving as a moisture-proof and anti-corrosion measure, right? Was this a design you had prepared long ago?"
“That’s right.” Ouyang Rong snapped his fingers, his tone somewhat nonchalant: “It’s just some simple engineering principles.”
"Simple?" Rongzhen asked softly.
"yes."
Ouyang Rong became interested and patiently explained some details of the Buddha statue in the grotto that were often overlooked:
"Ms. Rong, please take a look at this drainage system..."
Rong Zhen listened silently for a while, then lowered her eyes and murmured, "How is it simple? Really..."
After a while, she waited quietly until the handsome young man in front of her, who was full of energy and talking non-stop, stopped talking.
He squinted slightly and asked, "The completion of the Buddha statue should have been during the rainy season, right?"
Ouyang Rong calculated for a moment and nodded:
"That's right."
"good."
Rongzhen repeated, "Very good."
Ouyang Rong couldn't help but glance at her again.
The two then continued their on-site inspection inside the grotto.
Everyone looked at their own things, and the atmosphere remained silent for a while.
Behind them, a striking figure in bright red was also casually strolling by, at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.
Walking ahead, Rongzhen, who always wore a plain white dress, suddenly asked:
Do you really like women who wear red?
Ouyang Rong was taken aback, and then answered truthfully:
"They all look good. Actually, it has nothing to do with the color. It depends on the person. For example, if you have dark skin, don't wear red, it will make you look even darker."
"Also, you can't wear it if you're too fat or too thin. If you're too fat, wearing red will make you look even fatter. If you're too thin, you won't be able to fill out the red clothes. If someone bumps into you at night, it might scare them."
"And someone like my junior sister, with fair skin and dark hair, a perfect figure, and tall and outstanding, is naturally beautiful. Wearing a red dress would suit her just right..."
"Wow, you're pretty picky."
Rong Zhen in front seemed to snort coldly:
"You have such a set of theories, and you've studied them so thoroughly. You even say you don't like ladies wearing red. I can tell you just love it. Humph, when will Grand Scholar Ouyang publish a book that specifically teaches ladies how to dress? I guarantee it will sell out as soon as it hits the shelves in Luoyang bookstores. It'll be priceless."
"I only have a slight understanding, Ms. Rong is too kind. Besides, wasn't it Ms. Rong who asked first? Of course, I will answer to the best of my knowledge."
Ouyang Rong said in a serious tone.
He can't very well say that he learned all this fashion knowledge while browsing graduate school entrance exam materials from some respectable people's groups in his previous life, can he?
Rongzhen, with her sleeves tucked behind her head, walked ahead without looking back.
"I'm asking you to answer all your questions, not to answer everything. Don't try to play dumb with me; you might be doing it on purpose."
Ouyang Rong was speechless:
"Why would the Lady Historian ask this out of the blue?"
She immediately said with a stern face:
"It's all because your junior sister is too dazzling."
Ouyang Rong practiced his silence meditation. His junior sister had excellent hearing, and he couldn't answer any of Lady Rong's questions.
However, I think Junior Sister must have heard those compliments from the woman in red just now.
Ouyang Rong prepared to turn around and take another look.
At this moment, Rongzhen, who had paused for a while, inexplicably asked:
"An explanation is just a cover-up. So... besides red, Ouyang Lianghan, what other colors do you like?"
Ouyang Rong looked helpless.
"I don't really like that color, I just find red clothes pleasing to the eye..." He paused for a moment, then added, "But if I had to say what other colors I find pleasing to the eye besides red, well, purple would be one too."
Upon hearing the word "purple," Rong Zhen seemed to recall something, and her usually cold and tense face trembled slightly, with a faint blush rising on her cheeks.
