Qing Wu Red House

Chapter 202

On June [-]th of the eighth year of Hongzheng, the gate of Rongguo Mansion opened, and one after another sedan chairs and carriages came out of Rongguo Mansion to go to Qingxu Temple to pray for blessings.When the passers-by on the road saw it, they couldn't help being envious again. They all said that the Rongguo Mansion was prosperous and it was a prosperous home.

Daiyu nestled in her green-covered carriage, opened a corner of the curtain, and looked out secretly.Zicuckoo sat beside Daiyu, watching her secretly while peeling the dried fruit.There is no reason why Daiyu didn't know, after Zijuan took a few sneaky glances at her, she said with a smile: "If you have anything to say, just say it, and show someone like this."

After hearing what Daiyu said, Zijuan immediately dropped the dried fruit and moved towards Daiyu.Qingwen, who had been leaning to one side, regained her spirits at this time, and moved closer.Daiyu looked at the actions of the two of them and couldn't help laughing: "What are you doing? They look weird."

Zijuan whispered: "What did Nanny Song and the girl say yesterday? We are of the same mind with the girl, and the girl can't hide it from us." Only then did Daiyu know that these two girls might have shared the relationship between her and Nanny Song yesterday. The conversation was almost inseparable.He couldn't help raising his face: "You guys are really getting more and more unruly, and you even learned to eavesdrop."

Qingwen stuck out her tongue, her face was filled with embarrassment.But Zijuan didn't care about Daiyu's anger at all, and said: "We are just helping the girl to guard. That is Jia's house, which is no better than ours. Who knows if the walls have ears."

"You're making sense!" Daiyu burst out laughing.Qingwen looked at Zijuan, and suddenly felt a sense of knowledge.Daiyu knew that she would not be able to hide it from these girls, and it happened that she also had something to ask these girls to help.She whispered: "Help me inquire about someone."

Zijuan and Qingwen's eyes lit up at the same time, and they nodded heavily: "Please tell me, girl." Daiyu felt a little embarrassed after being stared at by these two people, and didn't say why for a long time.Zijuan and Qingwen were in a hurry, but neither of them dared to rush, for fear that Daiyu would be shy.Say no more.

After a long while, Daiyu said hesitantly: "The name is An Xiuyuan, and it is said that he is originally from Hubei." Zijuan repeated the name silently, and said: "Okay, don't worry, girl!"

Daiyu suddenly thought of something, and said to Zijuan: "You can't let Guanshi Ding inquire about it." Then she looked at Qingwen and said, "You can't leave it to Yuan Qing!" Zijuan said with a smile: "Miss, don't worry, this We still know the matter." Saying that, he and Qingwen looked at each other and smiled.

Only then did Daiyu feel a little relieved, this person was the first person listed in her elder brother's brochure, and he was the number one scholar in the same imperial examination as Qi Tianyou.This time he was also in the competition, and according to Nanny Song's inquiries, he was also a talented person with both civil and military skills.Daiyu is lost in thought.But Zijuan murmured softly: "I always thought that the girl would let us inquire about Master Tianyou." Daiyu looked at Zijuan, only to see Zijuan lowering her head and peeling the dried fruit, not looking at her at all.

Now Qingwen has learned to be smart, she chuckled and said: "You are really confused, does Master Tianyou still need us to inquire?" Daiyu glared at Qingwen.Fu raised the curtain again and looked out of the car, ignoring the two girls.

Not long after, the carriage had arrived at Qingxu Temple, the Taoist priest was once the substitute of the old Duke, and he was very familiar with the people in Jia's mansion, at this time he had personally greeted him out of the mountain gate.The men of Jia's mansion have all dismounted.There are all kinds of trivial matters.

As early as a few days ago, Jia's mansion sent someone to pass the word, saying that the old lady came with her grandma and girls.All the little Taoist priests were sent out of the Taoist temple. At this time, the huge Qingxu Temple was as quiet as the empty city.

The carriages of Jia's mother and all the women's family members drove to the outside of the mountain gate before stopping. There were already girls holding pedals, parasols and other things.Waiting for all the female relatives to get off the car.Daiyu's frame was behind Wang Xifeng's, and Zijuan and Qingwen helped Daiyu get out of the car.Xiuju and Peiwen held a light umbrella to cover Daiyu from the sun.

A while later, Baochai, Yingchun and others also got out of the car and gathered with Daiyu and Wang Xifeng.Among the crowd, Jia Zhen said something to Jia Mu at the mountain gate. Jia Mu seemed a little surprised, but soon a proud smile appeared on her face.

Seeing Wang Xifeng from a distance, he said to Daiyu, "I'm afraid it's your brother and the others who have arrived!" Daiyu looked at Wang Xifeng curiously, and Baochai wondered, "Why did Cousin Lin come here? Sister Feng is talking nonsense again." , let Yan'er be happy for no reason."

Wang Xifeng glanced at Baochai and said, "I'm afraid Haorui is not the only one who has come." After that, ignoring Baochai's expression, she took Daiyu's hand and walked slowly forward.Sure enough, within a short while, the nurse next to Jiamu came to send a message, saying that there were distinguished guests in the temple, and asked grandma and girls to go to the east building to rest for a while.

The construction of this Qingxu temple is also very strange. In the small courtyard, there are two-story small buildings on the north, east and west sides. Sitting in the building, you can see the situation on the opposite side clearly. , Even the conversation on the other side can be heard clearly.A large stage was built on the south side, which was actually a bit higher than the other stages, so that people watching the theater on the second floor could enjoy it better.

Daiyu walked up the east building with Wang Xifeng, only to hear Tanchun and Baochai laughing and discussing the courtyard behind her: "Sister Bao, look, this doesn't look like a Taoist temple, it's just a theater at all, thanks to those Taoists can figure it out."

Baochai smiled and said, "Don't talk nonsense about the pure place of Buddhism. This place is a resting place specially built by Qingxu Temple for the female relatives who come to worship. It took a lot of thought." Just as they were talking, everyone went upstairs.I saw a long alley upstairs, with seven or eight tables facing the windows, all with stools on three sides.There are no doors on the entire second floor, and long railings protect everyone from falling from the second floor.

Daiyu was looking around when Tanchun laughed and said, "Sister Feng is indeed right. Sister Lin, look, it's Cousin Lin!" Daiyu was startled, and followed Tanchun's finger to look towards the west building. I saw Lin Haorui, dressed in a stone blue brocade robe, standing near the pole, looking at her with a smile.

Daiyu couldn't help laughing, and waved slightly at her brother.But he didn't know how many thoughtful people looked at him for showing off his face like this.Tanchun pulled Daiyu to sit on a table on the left side, and asked enthusiastically, "Sister, do you know why Cousin Lin is here?"

Baochai walked to the remaining vacant seat and sat down, said with a smile, "Third Younger Sister, could it be possible that she didn't see a lot of people on the opposite side? I'm afraid it's not only Cousin Lin who came, but all the people who participated in this martial arts competition came. yes!"

Tanchun looked across curiously, and sure enough, she saw that the seven or eight tables opposite were full of people, she didn't know anyone else, but Jia Lian and His Highness the Third Prince were indeed there.At this time Wang Xifeng also came over and patted Daiyu on the shoulder.Then he went to the middle table and sat with Li Wan.Xichun and Yingchun sat at the table on the right of Wang Xifeng and Li Wan.

The other tables were reserved for big girls who had a reputation, and Qingwen, who had already redeemed her body and was about to get married, was pushed to the front.Qingwen didn't hesitate and sat down with a smile.

Compared to the chirping laughter of the girls in the east building, the west building seemed much quieter.Daiyu glanced around and saw Qi Tianyou, Chechen and a man sitting at the first place, Daiyu guessed that the man should be Prince Wen's second son Qi Tianrui.And his elder brother sat on the left table with Ao Jian and Yang Chengping.Daiyu was slightly taken aback by Aojian's position.Could it be that Ao Jian's identity has been recognized?

Just as he was wondering, he heard a noise at the stairway of the east building, and everyone couldn't help but look around.I saw Sun Xueying and a lady.Accompanied by several maids and mother-in-law, I went upstairs.Seeing this situation, Wang Xifeng stood up quickly, and said with a smile, "No wonder I heard magpies all the time, so it's a distinguished guest. Grandma and Miss Sun come and sit here!"

It turned out that the person who came here was the wife of Sun Xuehai, the eldest son of the Sun family. Li Wan always felt that he was a widow, so it was inconvenient for him to do these things.At this time, he took the initiative to sit at the table of Yingchun and Xichun, and vacated the main table for the sister-in-law of the Sun family.

Of course, the commotion on this side did not hide the slightest bit from the eyes on the other side.Chechen played with the teacup in his hand, and aimed at Qi Tianyou with great interest: "The Emperor Taishang won't bring all the ladies from Shangjing here for you to choose. I heard that a few days ago, for you Regarding the matter of getting married, the Supreme Emperor scolded the emperor's uncle!"

Qi Tianyou glanced across.Humph said: "My affairs, when will be decided by others." Chechen laughed: "Yes, you have the capital. At worst, just go to the battlefield, but I heard that Annan is not stopping , the establishment of the Jiaozhi Department was not smooth, and it was said that there were rebels who were made a fuss by Na Li."

Qi Tianyou glared at Chechen.Some sarcasm said: "I didn't expect you to care about important things, and I thought you would just idle around all day long." Chechen smiled disdainfully.He didn't know where he had offended the third prince, who is now very popular, and he only thought that he was in a bad mood after being scolded by the Supreme Emperor.

Qi Tianrui interrupted after listening to the two people talking to each other: "You have to ask Hao Rui about God's blessing. In fact, the grandfather and the old man don't have to worry. After Hao Rui marries the girl from the Teng family , Tianyou will naturally feel that getting married is not a bad thing."

Lin Haorui turned back with a smile: "His temper, the emperor and the emperor can't control it, the master can't control it, how can I control it. As for which girl he will marry in the future, it depends on his ability, maybe someone else's." The girl still doesn't like him."

Qi Tianyou didn't look back, he grabbed a handful of melon seeds and threw them at Lin Haorui who was behind him, scolding: "You're the only one who talks too much!" Lin Haorui turned sideways slightly, passing the piece of food.On the contrary, Ao Jian moved his palm slightly, nestled all the melon seeds in his palm, and said with a smile: "Third Prince, please don't hurt the innocent."

The girls on the opposite side heard the chatter and jokes of the few people.Daiyu tilted her head and looked this way, coincidentally meeting Qi Tianyou's eyes, Qi Tianyou nodded slightly with a warm smile.But Daiyu didn't know why, Nanny Song's words suddenly sounded in her mind, making her avoid her eyes unconsciously.

Qi Tianyou was still smiling, but when he saw Daiyu lowering her head, the smile disappeared too.

Chechen naturally saw all this in his eyes, he glanced at Qi Tianyou, and then continued to drink tea, making people wonder what he was thinking.And Baochai, who was sitting opposite Daiyu, also saw all this in his eyes, gritted his silver teeth lightly, and showed a kind of determination in his eyes.
