Chapter 096: Calculation
"Oh, my mother heard that the incense here is very good, so she came to worship, I never thought I would meet you!" Jia Xinyi still smiled.
The corners of Zhou Mingshan's mouth opened slightly, and she wanted to ask again and swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.
This is Yongzhao Temple, and it's not her home, so she can't let others go.
It's just that since their family came to Yongzhao Temple, according to the rules, outsiders will generally not be allowed to come in the temple, so how could Jia Xinyi stand here.
Xu saw Zhou Mingshan's doubts, Jia Xinyi actually opened her mouth to explain, with a hint of apology in her tone, "My mother also watched the days!"
Zhou Mingshan suddenly realized that he had long heard that the lady of the Ministry of Officials went around asking God and worshipping Buddha for her son. In the early years, when Jia Hongzhi was young, he was thinking about begging to give his son and mother to a son, and the older he got older, he knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to give birth, so he put his hope on his daughter-in-law, but unfortunately Jia Hongzhi was like that, and which good girl was willing to marry him, besides, Mrs. Wen had to be carefully selected, not a good family, not a good look, plus a good character, even the girls in the capital were not enough for his family to choose, and Jia Hongzhi's family affairs could only be delayed.
This time, it seems that I have visited Yongshoji Temple again, and when I think about it, I understand why my grandmother also came, presumably for my aunt, and I want to ask for a son for her.
That being the case, the monks in the temple must have greeted their grandmother, and there were nobles on both sides, and they didn't dare to offend, so they could only find a way to be accommodating.
With my grandmother's cautious temperament, even if she wasn't Mrs. Wen and knew that others were in this situation, she probably wouldn't refuse to enter the temple.
It seems that she can only admit that she is unlucky, and she can even run into people she doesn't want to see when she comes out occasionally to loosen up.
Thinking of this, Zhou Mingshan smiled reluctantly: "We have finished worshipping and are planning to go back!"
Since there is no way to avoid it, just say hello and go your own way, she doesn't want to and is not in the mood to stay with Jia Xinyi.
I don't know if I didn't understand, or if I deliberately pretended to be confused, but Jia Xinyi didn't react, looked at her for a long time, and suddenly said, "I have a few words I want to tell you alone." "An unmistakable look.
Seeing Zhou Mingshan frowning, she pursed her lips and added, "Is it okay?"
The goose-yellow Ruyi moire gown, with the hair coiled high behind the head, revealing a smooth forehead, is not the kind of hanging hair or double Luo bun that is popular among women nowadays. It seems that every time I see Jia Xinyi combing her hair in this similar bun, I have never seen her loosen her hair at all.
Speaking of which, the two of them haven't seen each other since their grandmother's birthday feast, looking at Jia Xinyi's appearance, maybe she has forgotten what happened at that time, but she hasn't forgotten, whether it is in the past life or in this life.
A while ago, when she met the Chinese New Year, she was busy learning the rules, her father and cousins were going to prepare for the exam, and then her mother had an accident, and she was busy with a bunch of things in the third room, although Jia Xinyi also came to greet her, so that she had time to reply to a letter. But at that time, she wanted to divide one person into several to use, and she had long left it behind.
Could it be that what kind of moth is she going to make at this time?
"Let's go over there!" Zhou Mingshan gestured to the left front.
There was a small pavilion with a stone table and several stone benches, which seemed to be set up for the rest of the tourists.
Jia Xinyi turned her head to look at it, and then nodded.
The two of them left their servants and walked a few steps into the pavilion.
"Sit down!" Jia Xinyi also specially took two cushions from the girl and spread them on the stone bench.
Zhou Mingshan didn't respond, standing by the fence and looking at the towering ancient trees in the distance, towering into the sky, as if trying to stretch his body.
She didn't know what Jia Xinyi was thinking, but according to her understanding in her previous life, as long as she didn't get into it, Jia Xinyi couldn't help it.
Seeing her like this, Jia Xinyi didn't insist anymore, and smiled, "I have to make amends to you for what happened last time!"
Zhou Mingshan didn't move, and it wasn't her lips to make amends or not. Even if Jia Xinyi didn't calculate her in this life, it doesn't mean that she has never had this kind of thought, calculating her good friend, how good can such a character be?
"I heard that you are going to participate in the draft?" Jia Xinyi sat on a stone bench and changed the subject.
Zhou Mingshan was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at Jia Xinyi, "Who did you listen to?"
"There will always be good people who chew their tongues in this kind of thing!" was a tacit acquiescence, but he didn't mention who said it, "You have already made up your mind?" Jia Xinyi clasped her hands, and her slender fingers tapped the back of her hand one by one.
This is Jia Xinyi's habitual action, whenever she thinks about things, Zhou Mingshan looked at it in a daze, and forgot to answer for a while.
"Mingshan, we haven't known each other for a day or two, I'll say it bluntly if I have something to say, just like the last time the Xianguo Mansion happened, this draft, I'd better think about it again, the palace is not a simple place!"
looked determined and abnormal, as if Zhou Mingshan should listen to her.
Thinking of the events of his previous life, Zhou Mingshan felt a fire in his heart, "Yes, you know it very well!"
"Of course I know!" Jia Xinyi's voice was faint, and a trace of imperceptible sadness flashed on her face.
Zhou Mingshan was stunned, if she choked like this in the past, Jia Xinyi would definitely fight back, but now Jia Xinyi is unfamiliar to her, as if her mask-like face in the past has been torn apart, revealing the true feelings below.
She didn't know what it was like for a while, and she knew what was going on at home in Jia Xinyi.
Jia Qing, the servant of the ministry, is very proud of the officialdom, but it is a little difficult in terms of heirs, after 20 years of marriage, there is only Jia Xinyi's brother Jia Hongzhi A son, who is still a brain-burner, and it is difficult to say whether he can inherit his family business in the future.
There are a lot of aunts in the house, but there are a lot of daughters, and even people like Zhou Mingshan who have been to her house several times can't tell how many sisters Jia Xinyi has.
The main mother's concubine's room, the fight between the concubines and concubines Jia Xinyi has experienced a lot since she was a child, helping her mother suppress the concubine room and dealing with the stumbling blocks of other sisters, and she couldn't be more familiar. Now that she said this, she knew that the palace was just another battlefield. For the security of her mother and brother in the future, she has long been determined to be drafted.
I once remembered that when the two of them chatted together before, Jia Xinyi looked at her with that envious expression, "If I could be born in your family, how good it would be to be sisters with you!"
Thinking about it now, those words are like being in a dream, how could it be that Jia Xinyi said them?
If she really treats her as a sister, how can Jia Xinyi calculate her life?
Now she wants to prevent herself from entering the palace, afraid that she will stand in her way, or is she still thinking about calculating herself?
Zhou Mingshan snorted, and the trace of sympathy that had just risen was pressed in her heart.
