Zhang's family did not go out for more than a month because of the pear orchard, and after several persuasions from Aunt Du, she finally agreed to go to Dongchan Temple on the last day of April.

I haven't gone out for too long, so Zhang arranged a few capable grandmothers to prepare the things needed to go out this day, checked them three or four times, and confirmed that this trip could earn a little face before relieving my heart.

Dongchan Temple is a temple founded in the Tang Dynasty, from Suzhou City to the east direction by carriage for more than an hour to arrive, if you go late and come back when the sky is dark, so this day Xu family just arrived at Mao when it was lively.

Xu Gucheng usually gets up after a quarter of an hour, but today the Lu family got up early, and he also got up, accompanied the Lu family to have breakfast, and watched her leave.

Compared with Dongchan Temple, the more famous temples in Suzhou are Beita Bao'en Temple and Hanshan Temple, both of which are much closer than Dongchan Temple, but Zhang is worried that he will meet too many acquaintances in these two places, so he can't help but talk about what happened in March, so he will go far.

The female dependents of the Xu family, except for Xu Qian and Xu Erniang, who were still grounded, all went to Dongchan Temple in a carriage, and a large number of servants and maids followed.

Lu Shi is dressed today by Chuntang, wearing a brown jasmine pattern round neck shirt, a cyan flower soft smoke eight Luo skirts, and a hosta and ivory comb grate. The dress is very plain, but it has a unique charm, especially the pair of watery peach blossom eyes, soft and smooth, anyone who sees it will take a few more looks.

Xu Promise was a little depressed after seeing it, since she heard Xu Qian say that her mother was not such a character in the past, she felt very strange when she saw her docile and kind mother again, and couldn't help but imagine her mother's capable housekeeping posture in the past.

The carriage had been covered with a woolen blanket two months ago, but now it has been replaced with a mat with cushions on it, and it is quite comfortable.

Xu Yu and Lu sat in the carriage, which seemed to have a lot of space in the carriage, Lu sat upright, and Xu Yu was half-lying.

There was a short table with two plates of snacks and a plate of cut fruit on it, and the promised mouth never stopped from the time I got into the car, and it was empty halfway through.

Finally arrived at the Tozen Temple, and the group got off the carriage.

The traffic outside the temple is busy, very lively, there are many children chasing on the road, and there are also young ladies holding a fan and walking towards the temple.

I promised to have been to many temples in my previous life, but it was the first time after I crossed, and I couldn't help but feel a little novel, and my eyes never stopped since I got off the bus.

Aunt Du is also dressed very plainly today, less dignified on weekdays, she came to Dongchan Temple this time to light a peace lamp for her half-year-old child, so the dress is lighter.

Zhang and Ding went to the Buddha because of all the things going wrong recently, and Du Sanniang and Du Wuniang also followed.

Zhong invited Lu to chant the scriptures, promising that he didn't want to chant the scriptures, so he stayed in the pavilion with Chuntang July to rest.

Xu Yu sat in the pavilion and watched the scenery around her, and saw a slender figure from a distance, stood up and looked carefully, she had good eyesight, and recognized that person was Wang Muyu.

Dongchan Temple is so far away, the Wang family actually came?

Xu Yu looked around Wang Muyu and found that she was the only one, and she didn't even follow a grandmother or maidservant?

She didn't hesitate to ask Chuntang to invite Wang Muyu over, Wang Muyu recognized Chuntang and followed, and greeted Xu with a smile: "Liuniang, I didn't expect to meet you here, it's really a coincidence." ”

Xu Promise stood up and asked Wang Muyu to sit down, seeing that her smile was far-fetched, and said in her heart that she had always been moody, what affected her?

With a flash of thought, he promised: "Yes, today the eldest sister came to light the peace lamp for her child, and the family came with her." ”

Wang Muyu shook his head and didn't sit down, but asked Xu Xu to go out for a walk.

The promise was fulfilled, and Qi Qi followed him, while Chuntang stayed in the pavilion, and if Lu Shi came, he would explain where she had gone. When he got out of the pavilion, he asked Wang Muyu: "Who are you here with?" Why don't you go to Hanshan Temple and Beita Bao'en Temple?"

"I came with my aunt and aunt, and they came here to make a vow, but I didn't think it was interesting, so I didn't go in. I wanted to walk around casually outside, but I didn't expect to meet you. Wang Muyu's voice was very low, obviously not very good.

Nodding her promise, she had a deep memory of Wang Muyu's two aunts. Her eldest aunt is not yet married, and her aunt Wang Qiniang is only three years older than her, and she is seventeen this year, and she has made a marriage with the future prime minister Song Jiao, and it seems that she will be married in three or four months.

"My aunt got married in early August, and she was able to have this family business, all thanks to the eldest aunt, and the two of them came to thank the Buddha for giving this family business today. Wang Muyu showed a hint of mockery in his words, although it was very light, but the promise was still perceived.

Last time I went to Wang's pear orchard, Wang Muyu had a good relationship with the two aunts, how could they have such an attitude when talking about them now?

The two of them walked further and further, and there were fewer and fewer people around, but the scenery did not weaken, but became more beautiful.

"Your little aunt can have such a good family affair, she should indeed come and repay her wishes. Xu Yue paid attention to Wang Muyu's expression as he spoke, and found that the corners of her mouth were pulled, her smile was contemptuous, and she asked again with curiosity in her heart: "How did she know that Song Langjun?"

Wang Muyu took a deep breath, as if he had made some important decision, turned his head and glanced at Xu Yu quickly, and said, "When I was twelve years old, my grandmother met Song Langjun by chance. At that time, he was seventeen years old, good-looking, well-behaved, and very talented. Grandmother saw him at a glance, wanted to marry the Song family, and was ready to marry me to him. ”

Xu Yu felt that this was a thunderbolt, but he couldn't help but speak, and continued to listen.

The Song family was reluctant at first when they learned of their grandmother's intentions, but the grandmother was very skillful, and after a few dealings, the Song family agreed. My grandmother was very satisfied with Song Langjun and the Song family, and after the matter was completed, she sued me, but I was not allowed to tell me about it. But for some reason, the eldest aunt learned about it a few days later, and she told her grandmother that the little aunt was not young, and she should also set a family affair, so it was better to match her to Song Langjun. The decisions made by the grandmother were rarely changed, but the eldest aunt was hard-hearted and begged the grandmother for half a year before the grandmother agreed, and the backup gift went to the Song family to apologize in person. Although the Song family was reluctant, they later looked at their little aunt and felt that she had a good temperament, so this family affair was completed. ”

After finishing speaking, Wang Muyu exhaled a long breath, leaned against the wall on the side, and slowly squatted down.

Xu Yu didn't expect her to hide this kind of thing in her heart, and couldn't help but feel a little pitiful for her, so she squatted down with her: "Does your little aunt know the inside story of the matter?"

With such a good family affair, anyone will be happy, not to mention that Song Jiao has a good future in the future. Wang Muyu missed a future prime minister to be a husband like this, and it was fake not to be sad.

Wang Muyu shook her head: "The eldest aunt didn't allow me to ask the little aunt, saying that I couldn't hurt the little aunt's heart, but she didn't care about my heart." He buried his head in the crook of his arm as he spoke, and then a shallow sobbing sound.

Wang Qiniang is just a concubine, although her appearance is good, but she is just good, I don't know how many levels worse than Xu Qian, marrying Song Jiao is indeed a high climb.

Xu Yu squatted with Wang Muyu like this, until his feet were numb and he wanted to stand up, only to see a few people coming not far away.

The knee touched Wang Muyu, Wang Muyu raised his head, glanced at the promise and then looked forward with the promise's gaze, and shouted: "Big aunt, little aunt." ”

Xu promised that the last time I went to the pear orchard, I only saw Wang Qiniang, and I didn't see Wang Muyu's aunt, but now when I look at it, I find that the two are somewhat similar.

She originally thought that the Wang family had a square face except for Wang Muyu's little aunt, but now she found out that her eldest aunt was not a square face, and the mouth and nose of the two were very similar, which seemed to be carved out of a mold.

In an instant, Xu Promise made up a story very bloodily, but was interrupted by the voice of Aunt Wang Muyu.

Wang Muyu's aunt is forty years old this year, and her single name is an English character.

"Auntie, why are you here, we have been looking for you for a long time. Wang Ying's voice was very bright, and there was no concern or worry between her words.

She didn't comb a woman's bun, she wore two golden hairpins and a white hosta hairpin on her head, with gold-encrusted ruby earrings on her ears, a smoky green collared short undergarment, and a ginger eight-panel skirt, she looked only in her early thirties at a glance, and only after a closer look would you notice the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and the bags under her eyes that had been covered by powder.

Wang Muyu stood up against the wall, her eyes were red, and her expression seemed very unnatural because of the soreness in her legs or the words she said just now, but she said without any hesitation: "My head was a little dizzy just now, and I almost fell, thanks to Xu Liuniang, I didn't trip." ”

As she spoke, she glanced at the promise, which was regarded as a promise to her aunt.

Promise to give gifts, but don't know what to call them. Wang Muyu is the eldest lady of the Xu family's generation, and Wang Ying is also the eldest lady, if she is called Wang Auntie, wouldn't it be a mess of generations, and finally only said: "The sixth mother of the Xu family has seen Wang Niangzi." ”

Wang Ying smiled, her eyes flashed, and she seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, which was somewhat similar to Mrs. Wang's gaze: "You are Xu Liuniang, it's a pity that I didn't see you last time." ”

Xu promised that she didn't know if she was praising herself, or that it was a pity that she didn't see the Xu family's fool in the pear orchard last time, so she didn't answer, just smiled shallowly, and it was not rude.

Wang Qiniang stood silently behind Wang Ying as always, saying nothing, her eyes calm as if she was blind.

Wang Ying didn't feel embarrassed, and asked Xu Yu with a smile, and asked Xu Erniang and Xu Qian about it, I heard that the daughters of the Xu family came to Dongchan Temple today, and they insisted on going to see the Zhang family despite the promise of shirking.

How could Xu Promise not understand that she was going to see Zhang's jokes, to see the jokes of the Xu family, not the so-called visit.

Although she promised that she had a bad relationship with her grandmother Zhang, she would not allow outsiders to mock her, and she excused herself several times, and finally compromised because Wang Ying was an elder.

The three members of the Wang family followed Xu Yu back to the previous pavilion, and the people of the Xu family were already waiting for Xu Xu in the pavilion at the moment, and when they saw the Wang family behind her, their faces changed a little.

Zhang's direct glaring at Xu Yu angrily, she worked hard to stay in the house for more than a month without going out, and ran to such a remote temple, and finally met the person she didn't want to see, and it was her granddaughter who ushered her.

Lu Shi was surprised, and looked at the promise suspiciously, and Xiang saw what was going on from her face.

Wang Ying was very proud when she saw the expressions of everyone in the Xu family, and smiled as she went up the steps to greet the Zhang family.

The corners of Xu Promise's mouth turned up, he stopped suddenly, and saluted: "Grandmother, aunt, mother, third aunt, my son was lost before, but fortunately I met Aunt Wang, and my son found his way back." The grandson is late, and he still hopes that his grandmother is not strange. ”

Wang Ying was half a step behind Xu Nuo, and when Xu Promise stopped and said the word grandmother, she fell backwards because of her unstable center of gravity.

Xu Yu seemed to know nothing, saluted respectfully, and said a word respectfully, then turned around to see that Wang Ying was being helped by someone after falling.

"Mrs. Wang, what's wrong with you? I shouldn't have stopped, I didn't know that you were right behind me. "Xu promise's control of the body is very good, just now calculated Wang Ying's speed, and stopped just right.

Wang Ying came to see the Xu family's jokes so blatantly, she really couldn't see it, so she decided to make fun of her.

Wang Ying was anxious to see the jokes of the Xu family, so she walked faster, and the maid was far away from her, and she didn't hold her just now, so she fell hard, which was very wolf.

She came to see other people's jokes, but she made jokes herself.

In the pavilion, Zhang's expression improved a lot, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

The Lu family was even more worried, and walked out quickly to make amends to Wang Ying.
