As the carriage drove out of the city, the view widened.

It's just that there are too many carriages out of the city to burn incense today, and the dust raised by the horses' hooves obscures people's sight. Xiaohuzi was choked with tears from the dust, and Wei was so distressed that he hurriedly caught the person back.

At this time, the carriage in front of the He family slowed down, and Wei's carriage also slowed down. Ping'er went out and said a few words to the handlebar, and then turned around and reported: "Madam, it seems that the carriage of Lord Yuan's family is behind, and Mrs. Tai ordered to go slower, and wait for the carriage of the Yuan family to come and go together." ”

Mama Li lifted the curtain and glanced out, frowned, and said, "Although the road is quite wide, is it a little crowded if the carriages of the two families go together?"

Wei was feeding Xiaohuzi to drink water, and he didn't raise his head: "Mrs. Yuan is a junior, how can she go hand in hand with Mrs. Tai's carriage, and the Yuan family will not act like this." ”

Mama Li thought about it and thought it was too. It is not appropriate for Mrs. Yuan to follow Mrs. Tai's carriage, and it is even more inappropriate to follow the ranks of the younger generations of the He family, so it is better to walk behind.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the He family's carriage to speed up again, and the Yuan family's carriage and horses were still behind.

It is only a more than half an hour's drive from Hefu to Baoan Temple, because of the early departure, the carriage arrived at Baoan Temple before the hour, and the carriage of the He family stopped in front of the mountain gate under the temple. Burning incense and worshiping the Buddha pay attention to sincerity, and the section of the road from the mountain gate to the temple gate needs the pilgrims to walk up by themselves.

Not long after the people of the He family got off the carriage, the carriage of the Yuan family arrived.

The He family and the Yuan family are close to each other, this is known to everyone in the capital, the old man of the He family and the old man of the Yuan family were brothers who worshipped the handle, and the two even played a finger for marriage, but it is a pity that the first few sons of the old lady He were born, and the old lady had only one son, and when Mrs. He gave birth to a daughter, the old lady had passed away, and Mrs. Yuan had already married another lady for her only son. The current head of the Yuan family is Yuan Cheng, the grandson of the old lady, who is currently the right attendant of the military department, and is deeply used by the current emperor.

Mrs. Yuan Zhang came over with her daughter-in-law Qin and greeted Mrs. He.

Mrs. He was very kind to the Zhang family and the Qin family, and it was the kindness of the elders to the younger generations: "What about those two boys in your family? Why haven't you come to our house to play for a long time, and what ventriloquist did the gradual boy perform for us last time, which amused me, and I ate an extra bowl of rice that day." ”

Mrs. Yuan Qin frowned, but Zhang smiled and said gently: "It is his blessing that you like him, I have detained him to study at home for a while, and I will let him go to the house to see you in a few days." ”

Mrs. He said disapprerovingly: "Their grandfathers were all born in the army, where are the children of our two families who are the material for studying? ”

At this time, the second lady of the He family interjected: "I heard that Brother Gradual's art of war and martial arts are all good at learning, and he has the style of his great-grandfather, but Brother Chun is good at learning and has the talent of literary champions." By the way, what about the two brothers? Why didn't you see them today?"

Mrs. He was distracted and glanced at the crowd of the Yuan family, only to see the youngest daughter of the Qin family, Yuan Xiang, but the two brothers, Yuan Yan and Yuan Chun, were not there.

Zhang said: "They came on horseback, and they are still behind, how about we go to the temple?"

Seeing that another carriage was coming behind them, it was not good for them to crowd in front of the mountain gate, so the two families entered the temple together. Mrs. He pulled Mrs. Yuan to talk all the way, and Mrs. Yuan listened with a smile.

Yuan Xiang, the girl of the Yuan family, looked at He Linwan who was following Wei's side, and deliberately walked a few steps slower, waiting for He Linwan to catch up, but always kept a distance of two or three steps from her.

"Miss He. Yuan Xiang nodded towards He Linwan.

He Linwan also smiled back: "Miss Yuanda,"

Yuan Xiang was stunned, glanced at He Linwan again, and then said, "My second brother has something he wants to give to Third Young Master He, and when you come to me later, I will give you the thing." ”

As the two spoke, their steps slowed down, and they gradually came to the end of the line. Wei glanced back and saw that He Linwan was talking to Yuan Xiang, so he let them go.

He Linwan wanted to inquire about the pendant, so naturally he hurriedly responded, causing Yuan Xiang to look at her again. However, Yuan Xiang and He Linwan were not close, so they didn't say anything and followed their mother.

The monk in the temple first took the people of the He family and the Yuan family to rest, and then went to the main hall to enter the incense, and the He family and the Yuan family were naturally arranged in the same guest house.

He Linwan followed Wei Shi to clean his face and hands first, drank a cup of tea and rested for a while, and then planned to find Yuan Xiang.

Wei didn't stop her, but explained to her with a stern face: "The girl of the Yuan family is docile and knowledgeable, I am at ease when you play with her, but you can't bully her, do you know?"

He Linwan reluctantly answered and went out.

Let the maid inquire about the place where the girl of the Yuan family rested, He Linwan looked for it, but before she reached the door of the house, she heard a sweet voice in the courtyard and said in an innocent tone: "Second Brother Yuan, you also like the set of twelve tumblers you found for my third brother last time, can Second Brother Yuan find a set for Ling'er as well? Ling'er wants to give it to the fourth sister as a birthday gift." ”

A gentle and shy young man's voice said, "Okay, I'll ask someone to help you find it." ”

When He Linwan got closer, he saw a pair of young men and women standing under the magnolia tree in the courtyard.

The girl was dressed in peach-pink clothes, with a petite figure, a delicate appearance, and a sweet smile, it was He Ling, the third girl of the He family. The young man standing with her was about twelve or thirteen years old, with a face as white as jade, red lips and white teeth, and a red mole the size of a grain of rice at the end of his left eyebrow, with a good appearance.

He Ling saw He Linwan first, smiled sweetly at her meaninglessly, turned her head and said coquettishly to the young man: "Second Brother Yuan, you are so good to Ling'er, Ling'er is learning to pickle candied fruit with Mama, and when it is ready, let people send it to Yuan's house for Second Brother Yuan to taste." ”

The young man was about to speak, and in a blink of an eye, he also saw He Linwan walking towards them, his face froze, showing a little embarrassment, and he couldn't help but take half a step back.

He Linwan saw that his expression was a little strange, but He Ling suddenly panicked, and immediately hid behind the young man, looking at He Linwan's expression a little frightened. The young man saw it, and without thinking about it, he took a step forward and blocked in front of He Ling.

He Linwan didn't know which play they were playing, so he stood and looked at them a few more times.

At this time, He Linwan's eldest maid Chunxiao hurriedly leaned into He Linwan's ear and whispered: "Big girl, third girl, she is deliberately angry with you, Second Young Master Yuan is just good-tempered, and she definitely doesn't look down on her virtue, you must not be angry, you will lose if you are angry! Have you forgotten what your wife explained before you went out? If you make a move here, you will definitely be grounded again!"

He Linwan frowned and did not speak.

Chunxiao thought that she was unwilling to listen to persuasion, so in a hurry, she pulled her sleeve and said in a quieter voice: "If you are really angry, you will secretly fix her, the last time you secretly put a dozen big spiders in her hood, you did it bravely and strategically, and you have the demeanor of a female general!

He Linwan glanced at Chunxiao with a strange expression: "You dog-headed military is really good." ”

Chunxiao was stunned at first when she heard this tone, but when she gave the eldest girl ideas before, the eldest girl praised her a lot, so she also calmed down: "The slave doesn't need your reward, don't make the wife angry, the slave and the maid will be satisfied." ”

He Linwan: "......"

In fact, these are Chunxiao's heartfelt words, is it easy to be the big girl's personal maid? If you want to think of something to make her make fewer mistakes, she can explain it in front of her wife, and she must be careful not to provoke this ancestor to lose her temper.

He Linwan nodded expressionlessly: "You're right. Then he walked past the young man and woman without squinting.

He Ling, who was hiding behind Second Young Master Yuan, originally looked at He Linwan with some provocation in her eyes, but when He Linwan turned a blind eye to her, the provocation turned into shock.

In the past, when she provoked He Linwan in this way, He Linwan didn't take the bait once, because the most unbearable thing for He Linwan was that other girls approached Yuan Chun in front of her.

Yuan Chun was also stunned.

At this time, Yuan Xiang's door squeaked open, and Yuan Xiang appeared at the door. She glanced at He Linwan, who had already walked to her door, and then at Yuan Chun and He Ling, who were standing motionless in the courtyard, and frowned.

He Ling timidly spoke: "Big sister, did you come with me? I just said a few words to Second Brother Yuan, don't be angry with me." Saying that, He Ling hurriedly loosened the sleeve of Yuan Chun, who had just been pulled "in a hurry", and stood aside with his head down.

Yuan Chun saw He Ling's aggrieved and unspeakable appearance, and remembered that He Linwan had bullied He Ling in front of him before, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart.

"Miss He, Miss He San just wants me to find something for her to give to Miss He Si as a birthday gift, you ...... Don't make a big fuss and bully the weak!"

Yuan Chun has a gentle temperament, even if he is angry, he is gentle, plus he is handsome, his face is slightly red when he is angry, and the cinnabar mole at the corner of his eyebrows is even more red like a drop of blood, which is very beautiful and delicious. Miss He used to like to see Yuan Chun's appearance very much, so she sometimes deliberately provoked Yuan Chun to be angry, intentionally or unintentionally.

However, the current He Linwan is too lazy to deal with this pair of young men and women who talk to themselves, if she didn't have something to ask the Yuan family about, she would have turned around and left.
