Chapter 186: Borrowing
Xiao Bo was embarrassed for a while, touched his head and hurriedly retracted. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Tao Xiushui saw that Xiao Xue'er didn't dare to ask again if she didn't tell the truth, and if she asked too much, she would definitely show her feet and arouse suspicion.
But how else would she find her body?
She saw Xiao Xue'er walking forward and asked, "Sister, where are we going?"
She is not familiar with this temple at all, and she has only been here with her aunt once before, and that is still in the name of praying for the Xiao family in the name of her aunt's mistake, followed by Tian's henchmen, and she has never been here since.
"There is a great monk preaching in front of me, and the nobles are listening to the scriptures inside, so since we are here, we have to listen to it."
In fact, Xiao Xue'er didn't have much interest in listening to the scriptures, but if she didn't listen to it, she was afraid of losing her mother's face, and others wouldn't say anything, but she knew that Sun Wenxi would definitely mention her in front of nobles.
You can't give your mother a façade, but you must not be ashamed.
Originally, the rumors last time were enough to save my mother's face.
Tao Xiushui followed Xiao Xue'er and his party to the front hall, and at this time, he saw a big monk with a good round face sitting in the middle of the front lecturing the scriptures.
Rows of brightly dressed nobles sat kneeling below, all of whom looked like they were listening quietly, but Tao Xiushui knew that few of these people were really listening to the great monk's lectures, and most of them were wandering outside the world.
Xiao Xue'er led her to sit down silently in the row of empty seats behind.
Tao Xiushui saw the Xiangfu lady Tian Shi and her mother-in-law looked at her before, and when she saw her face tightened, she was shocked for a while before moving away.
In the past, she suffered a lot under this mother-in-law, just because of the child born by her aunt, she was very unpleasant to look at, and she was looking for trouble across the mountain.
Now that she had a different face, she didn't believe that this person could still recognize her.
Tao Xiushui smiled when she thought of this, at this time she and Xiao Xue'er became friends, and this relationship was different.
In front of the two of them to the left, a bright girl in a purple dress saw the two of them come in, and hurriedly turned her head to look, with a contemptuous and mocking smile on the corner of her mouth, fleeting.
This girl has bad intentions, who is this, dare to be disrespectful to the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Tao Xiushui searched in his memory for a while before remembering that this must be Sun Wenxi, the daughter of Sun Shangshu.
Once she went out with Xiao Xue'er as a guest before, she was ridiculed by the daughter of Shangshu.
Xiao Xue'er lost face and went home and rewarded her with a good whip.
She remembers this revenge, so she might as well reach out and take revenge.
Tao Xiushui honestly listened to the great monk's lecture for an hour, and then he couldn't sit still, so he told Xiao Xue'er to go to the toilet and sneak outside.
Just now she asked Ah San to find a room with red tassels on a door at the back of the temple.
If she remembers correctly, the Prime Minister's Mansion has a meditation room in this temple that has been lit with a lantern all the year round, although there is no ancestral ranking, but it is a special Zen room set aside by the Prime Minister's Mansion to pray for blessings in the house.
Tao Xiushui guessed that his body might be there.
She told Ah San that there might be someone guarding there, telling him to be careful.
When she went out of the room, she didn't dare to go far for fear that Ah San wouldn't find her, so she walked in front of a few Buddhas outside the main hall.
"Isn't the girl afraid to let the nobles see her blatantly lazy?"
Tao Xiushui looked up and saw a purple-clothed figure standing in front of him, it was that Sun Wenxi.
"Miss Sun is wrong, I'm just listening to the Buddha's voice. ”
Sun Wenxi was aggressive: "Oh! Even the nobles are listening reverently in the house, and the girl can hear it clearly."
Tao Xiushui smiled, "What is the identity of the nobles, that is the phoenix in the sky, and I am a native chicken on the ground, how can I talk the same thing"
"Sharp teeth and sharp mouth, clever tongue like a spring" Sun Wenxi doesn't like such people very much, which makes her feel very unhappy.
"Miss Sun has won the prize," Tao Xiushui chuckled.
Sun Wenxi has liked to fight with Xiao Xueer since he was a child, and the two will fight no matter what they do.
"You are from that family, why have I never seen you" Sun Wenxi remembered to ask this.
Tao Xiushui smiled, "I just entered Beijing from other places, and Miss Sun doesn't know me."
"Then who are you, tell me about it" Sun Wenxi suddenly became interested in the person in front of him.
Tao Xiushui didn't want to say it, so she said, "I'm Xiao Xue'er's sister, doesn't Miss Sun know?"
"Sister, hehe, are you kidding me?
"Oh!" Tao Xiushui's heart perked up, and the opportunity came, "Miss Sun is joking?"
"Why am I kidding you, her sister is indeed dead"
"But I heard that Miss Xiao's sister is here to recuperate."
"Recuperate, is it here? That's really interesting" Sun Wenxi's eyes flashed, "Didn't you just enter Beijing? How do you know this?"
Tao Xiushui smiled unnaturally, "I...... This is also what I heard from people, after all, there are a lot of things about Miss Xiao during this time, so I heard about it."
"Hahaha, the rumors outside during this time are really funny and good"
Sun Wenxi wanted to laugh as soon as he thought of the rumors of Xiao Xue'er during this time, why should a woman with a loss of virtue and watery flowers compare with her, she used to want to compete with her to enter the palace, but now don't say that the emperor will not marry her, even a better courtier will not let his son marry such a woman, and lose face.
Tao Xiushui knew the past of the two, and they both looked at each other unpleasantly, and deliberately said there:
"I don't believe the rumors outside, Miss Xiao is the daughter of the prime minister, her identity is expensive, someone must be jealous and unpleasant, so she deliberately ruined her reputation, so as to achieve the purpose of revenge"
Sun Wenxi frowned, what did this person mean by talking like this, and said with a cold face:
"Who are you talking about?"
Tao Xiushui pretended to be ignorant, "Of course I'm talking about people who are jealous of Sister Xiao, don't look at the people talking about it during this time, they will forget it after a while, after all, Sister Xiao's identity is there!
She wants to remind Sun Wenxi.
"That's right, you reminded me?"
"What? What is Miss Sun talking about?"
"It's nothing, it's just thank you for helping me" Sun Wenxi almost forgot about this stubble, I heard that Xiao Xue'er's eldest brother killed the people who were talking about the Prime Minister's Mansion on the spot in order to shut up the people, and now everyone just thinks that no one dares to say it anymore.
But that is also among the ordinary people, if you add a fire to these nobles and courtiers, then Xiao Xue will really be finished.
Tao Xiushui continued: "Does Miss Sun know that Sister Xiao's house has a meditation room, I heard that there are bright spots all year round, which is to pray for the Prime Minister's Mansion, do you say that Miss Xiao Er usually goes there if she is recuperating."
She woke up Sun Wenxi, with such a pair of hands, wouldn't it be a pity for her not to borrow them.
