Quick Wear: Men Farming and Women Weaving

Qi Xuanyi rode a donkey to Baiyun Temple, ten miles away from the capital, to visit and see the scenery.

The main hall inside is magnificent and golden, enshrining Sakyamuni Buddha, with Manjusri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva on the left and right. There are more than ten kinds of tribute fruits and cakes on the incense table, and an incense burner in the middle with many unburned sandalwood incense sticks from pilgrims worshiping Buddha.

He casually took the sandalwood from the little monk beside him, knelt down sincerely, kowtowed and burned the incense.

After experiencing countless worlds, his worldview has changed a bit, and he has learned to revere gods and Buddhas.

After burning incense, I asked the little monk next to me whether the vegetarian food in the temple was delicious.

“Our temple is most famous for its six vegetarian meals.”

"A six-vegetarian meal made of black fungus, shiitake mushrooms, potatoes, cabbage, green vegetables, and soybeans"

"There are also plum blossom cakes made from plum blossoms picked from the plum forest on the mountain behind our temple."

"The mung bean cakes made by the master chef are especially popular among female donors."

When Qi Xuanyi heard that there was a plum forest, he planned to go and see it.

After asking the little monk for directions, we arrived at a small path in the back mountain and admired the scenery on both sides. The maple leaves covered the grass, dyeing the entire path red.

There were many young men or scholars who came here to play, recite poems and compose couplets. There were also many women wearing veils or hats, watching these talented or pretending to be poor scholars from a distance, ready to show off their lifelong talents and attract some dignitaries or rich ladies.

Qi Xuanyi walked along a secluded road and came to an uninhabited plum forest, quietly admiring the plum blossoms that were about to bloom.

It was not known whether it was fate or the attraction between mother and son, but Qi Wei brought her son to Baiyun Temple to worship Buddha. She seemed to walk towards Meilin involuntarily, as if something in front of her was attracting her.

"Mom, it's getting late, we should go back." Ever since such a big thing happened in his family, Ye Qingbai's personality has become much more stable. Although it's a pity that Jiaojiao is not his biological sister, he still hopes to find his brother.

"Qingbai, I really want to meet your brother. I want to know if he is tall or short, fat or thin."

Since Qi Wei was taken home by Ye Jiaojiao to start a family, she changed her name to Chen Jiaojiao and missed her biological son more and more.

I hated myself even more in my heart, wondering why I didn't pay attention to safety at that time.

"I have lived alone for more than ten years without anyone to take care of me. It hurts my heart just thinking about it."

When Ye Qingbai heard what his mother said, he looked a little sad as he thought of his brother's life over the years, while he was living a carefree life with fine clothes and delicious food, and he felt very guilty.

"Mom, don't worry"

"Xuanyi has grown up now, nothing will happen to her." Ye Qingbai comforted his mother as they strolled in the plum forest.

Qi Xuanyi, who was picking plum blossoms in another plum forest, asked the monk for a small basket. After getting the monk's consent and spending some incense money, he was allowed to pick plum blossoms as much as he wanted.

The wives of officials saw Qi Xuanyi in the plum forest, picking plum blossoms with elegant manners. He was wearing a white dress with a light purple robe and a Qilin blood jade belt. His hair was half tied up with a jade hairpin, and his flowing hair was draped behind his head. He had a handsome and upright appearance and fair skin. The girls screamed silently in their hearts when they saw such a beautiful scene.

Among them was a woman of noble status, who was sitting in a pavilion high up. When she saw the young man Merlin below, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Qi Xuanyi saw that the plum blossoms here had been picked almost completely, and planned to give them to the master chef to make plum blossom cakes.

He returned the same way and met many girls walking on the path. They wanted to say hello to him, but they didn't dare to speak because of rules and reserve.

Qi Wei also saw many daughters of officials who were suitable for his eldest son, and planned to find a suitable one for him after returning.

She also whispered to her son what kind of girls he liked, which made him blush with embarrassment and whispered that he liked people with generous personalities.

When Qi Wei heard what her son said, she immediately burst into laughter with joy. When she turned the corner, she didn't pay attention and bumped into a passerby.

"Ouch..."

"Mom, are you okay?"

Qi Wei grabbed the other person's arm to steady himself and then replied that it was okay.

Qi Xuanyi was accidentally bumped into by someone when she was turning a corner while carrying a basket. After she stabilized herself a little, she reached out and supported the other person.

The two of them raised their heads and looked at each other, both speechless.

The two people are really too similar. One is a mature and beautiful middle-aged woman, and the other is a young boy with a masculine toughness.

Qi Xuanyi looked at the lady in front of him and realized that she was the mother who gave birth to him. He didn't know what to think in his heart. Because he was switched, he didn't know who his biological parents were. In addition, he was a baby and couldn't go looking for his relatives. He relied on the supplies in the space to support himself and lived alone in the deep mountains and forests.

"You...are you Qi Xuanyi?" Qi Wei looked at the young man in front of him in disbelief, his voice trembling slightly, and stretched out his hand to touch his face.

"I am Qi Xuanyi"

"Child, I... I am..." She was speechless and held his hand tightly in tears.

Ye Qingbai looked at the young boy and his mother in front of him. They looked so similar when they were young. His eyes were exactly the same as his father's.

"Let's find a place to sit down and talk." Ye Qingbai was much more stable. Thinking that it was not convenient to stay here outside, he brought his mother and brother to the guest house that he had booked all year round.

There were three people sitting in a room in the backyard of the temple.

"Child, I am your mother"

"Come home with me, I've been thinking about you for a long time"

Qi Wei was afraid that her little son would disappear in front of her, so she refused to let go of his hand.

I felt a sense of relief, as if something that was missing had returned.

Ye Qingbai explained to him the whole incident and hoped that he could go home.

Qi Xuanyi sat there in silence, not knowing what to feel.

Finally, he surrendered to his biological mother's tears and agreed to return to the general's mansion.

Qi Wei happily pulled her son towards the temple gate, while Ye Qingbai followed behind, shaking his head and laughing.

The Ye family's carriage was parked by the roadside in the distance. When Qi Xuanyi was about to get on the carriage, he realized that his donkey Xiao Hei was still in the stable.

"I'm going to get my donkey."

Under the gaze of his mother, he followed his brother to the stable and led the donkey out.

Qi Xuanyi got on the carriage and felt the burning gazes in front of him. He moved his body uncomfortably.

A donkey followed behind a carriage, and the whole team was very funny, but no one dared to laugh at the carriage with the emblem of the General's Mansion.

The coachman drove the carriage for about an hour and traveled about ten kilometers before arriving at the outskirts of the capital.

General House

It wasn't long since Ye Yihua came back from court. Today, he went to court and listened to the civil officials discussing this year's imperial examination for a long time. As a military officer, he didn't like delays.

"Husband, look who is here?" Qi Wei pulled him into the main room.

"Didn't your mother's family send someone here?" Ye Yihua said without even raising his head.

"Look up and see if you recognize him."

Ye Yihua looked up at his wife helplessly, and his attention was attracted by the person next to him.

"You...it's you, Xuanyi." Ye Yihua stood up suddenly, strode to his side, held his shoulders, and asked his wife excitedly.
