Chapter 287: Stepmother

Seeing that she had accepted the gift, Zhuang took her hand and asked her for a while, asking her how she was getting better, and asking what she did on weekdays. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

I don't know if Zhuang is naturally enthusiastic, or only enthusiastic about her, Xu Wan really feels overwhelmed. I had to smile and answer a question or two from time to time.

After the two chatted, Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "In two days, it will be Xiaoman, and Mrs. Zhuang will invite us to worship the car god together." ”

The Gao Mang Dynasty, like ancient China, was a typical agrarian society. In this era of watching the sky to eat, whether it is a good year or a famine year, it depends on God's mood at the end of the year. As the most important solar term at the beginning of summer, Xiaoman has a saying in the folk that "Xiaoman is dissatisfied and breaks the field", so it is particularly important.

Sacrificing to the car god is a small manchu custom here, and the second car god in folklore is a white dragon. In the small full season, people put fish, incense and candles and other items on the waterwheel to worship, wishing this year good weather and prosperous water inkstones.

When it comes to the small full season, sacrifices are carried out everywhere to the god of cars. In Luoyang City, it was held on both sides of the Luoshui River, and was presided over by the Qintian Supervisor himself. At that time, there will be a prayer ceremony for the monks of the Great Compassion Temple, and the powerful families in Beijing will go to the slaughterhouse to buy the creatures that are about to be killed, and bring them to the festival to be released to accumulate merit.

Now that the dynasty is stable and peaceful, people also have extra spare money in hand, so they like to be lively. This is another festival of national travel after the spring outing, Dragon Boat Festival, and the emperor's birthday.

However, the courtship of the Anguo Mansion was in an uproar, and traveling with them at this time wouldn't it confirm this rumor? Xu Wan was really puzzled.

Zhuang seemed to know the doubts in her heart, grabbed her hand and said with a smile: "When sacrificing to the god of the car, our family has always set up a colorful shed on the bank of Luoshui, and I will send a carriage here to pick you up." I, looking at you is like looking at the two naughty daughters in the family. You have no mother at such a young age, why don't you recognize me as your stepmother?"

"It turns out that this is the method that the Anguo Mansion came up with. Xu Wan said secretly in her heart: "In this way, it can naturally be said that the two families have already recognized each other, Shi Jingze is just a little better to his righteous sister, and he was misunderstood by the prince, and the rumors are naturally broken." Second, there is no need to offend the prince on the surface, the righteous daughter accepted by his mother, as an elder brother, can he still ask to marry?"

Although her heart was turning to her thoughts, Xu Wanzhen smiled and said: "The family of Anguo Mansion is noble, Wanzhen is a mere merchant girl, she can recognize her wife as her mother-in-law, and I don't know which life she has cultivated." ”

At this time, naturally you can't pretend to be arrogant and pushback. The Anguo Mansion and the Xu family were originally incompatible, if it weren't for this one, how could she think of a lowly woman as a righteous daughter. The ladder was handed over, but he didn't hurry down.

In Zhuang's eyebrows and eyes, Shi Jingze's shadow can be vaguely seen, and he is a cool woman with a still graceful demeanor.

Hearing this, she laughed, only feeling that the woman in front of her was cheerful and generous, and she was very appetizing. It's not like some young ladies raised in the boudoir, twisting and pinching. sighed in her heart, if it weren't for her family, she really couldn't be on the stage, and she would have wanted her to be her daughter-in-law.

Originally, she had to come to this trip out of necessity, but now she is willing to get up. It's not bad to have such a righteous daughter.

Since they had a pleasant meeting, several people agreed on the matter, and after a few more gossip, Zhuang said goodbye and left, and Xu Wanzhen sent her to the second gate.

Turning back to Mrs. Xu's main room, Mrs. Xu said: "This time it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, and it is a blessing for you to be able to get the righteous daughter that Duchess Anguo thinks." ”

Xu Wanzhen bowed her head lightly and said, "Zhen'er understands that she will naturally honor her stepmother in the future." ”

Although this incident was the result of a multi-party game, Zhuang's enthusiasm and sincerity also infected her. Although it is a play, but the name of the stepmother is established, it is not a child's play, and it is natural to be filial to be a very close elder.

……

Zhuang returned to the Guogong Mansion, and then a new rumor spread in the market.

"Have you heard? It turns out that the prince of An Guo and the eldest lady of the Xu family are brothers and sisters. ”

"What? How can a righteous brother and sister ask for a marriage above, this, isn't this **?"

"It's not Shi Shizi who came to the door by himself, because of this relationship, he treated Miss Xu more kindly, but he didn't want to be misunderstood by the prince. This official media was invited by the prince, and Shi Shizi didn't know about it. ”

"It turned out to be a big oolong. ”

"Who says it's not? It is said that Duchess An Guo has an old relationship with the Xu family, and she pities Miss Xu for losing her mother at a young age, so she is accepted as a righteous daughter. Just thinking that she was still serving filial piety, she didn't publicize it with much fanfare, so she was misunderstood by the prince. ”

"I'll just say, the eldest lady of the Xu family is also the great-granddaughter of Tu Shanchang, how could she do such a shameless thing. When I heard it, I didn't believe it. ”

……

After Zhuang's door, the long-pending matter was resolved, and Xu Wanzhen felt much more relaxed in her heart.

Not long after, Xu Wenyu got out of school, and he waited for him to clean his hands, and he couldn't wait to run to Xu Wanzhen.

Seeing his happy little figure enter the door, Xu Wan couldn't help but smile and said softly: "Yu'er, slow down, don't fall." ”

Xu Wenyu quickly climbed onto the couch, Sister A has a warm embrace, a good smelling body fragrance, and squeezing together with Sister A is his favorite thing to do.

He raised his little face, his big eyes flickered and asked, "Sister, tell me, why are you so good, but those bad people always come to harm you?"

Xu Wanzhen kissed his little fleshy face and said, "Yu'er, tell me first, among your classmates, who do you like the most?"

Hearing this question, Xu Wenyu chirped: "Of course, my favorite Wu Peng, he knows a lot, Mr. often praises him, and takes good care of me." ”

said with a flat mouth, clenched his small fist and said, "Of course, the least favorite is Chang Chengli." That little fat man, who was bigger than us, often bullied me and forced me to do his homework. If I can't beat him, I'll call Wu Peng and a few of them, and he'll be out of luck. ”

His children's words are really fun to listen to, and children have their world. She smiled and said, "Yes, Yu'er, you think, since you have people you like and people you don't like, then others are the same, and Sister A is the same." ”

Holding Xu Wenyu in his arms, he looked into his eyes and said, "So, there are no good or bad people in this world, only what you like and what you don't like." No one person is loved by everyone. So, someone hates you and will do something bad to you. At this time, if you have the ability, return the favor immediately, and you can't condone him to continue bullying you. If not, you have to be strong and wait until the day when you can pay back. ”

Xu Wenyu nodded as if he didn't understand, and asked again: "Sister, have you returned the respect for those who harmed you?"

Thinking of Wang Miaoyan mentioned by Wu Zhengxiang last night, Xu Wanzhen had a smile on her face, nodded and said, "I salute you back." ”

Xu Wenyu cheered and said, "I knew that Sister Ah was very powerful!" and "snapped" on Xu Wanzhen's face, and said seriously: "Sister, don't worry, Yu'er must study hard, and when she grows up and becomes a big official, even if someone doesn't like Sister A, they won't dare to harm you again!"

Looking at his serious little appearance, Xu Wanzhen smiled in her heart and said, "Okay, I'll wait for Yu'er to grow up to protect Sister A." ”
