Chapter 11: Reunion

Gu Xiao thought about it for a while, and then lowered his voice and replied:

"It's definitely right, it's the official media of Cheng Wangtuo, saying that the big butler of Cheng Wang's Mansion is personally in charge, and he also invited a drummer, beating a gong and beating a drum to ask for a kiss, and half of the city went to see the excitement."

Li Xiaonuan's brows wrung up, King Cheng's side concubine is the eldest daughter of the Zhongyi uncle's family, if the loyal uncle is gone, King Cheng came forward to ask for his brother-in-law, but it is reasonable, but now, the loyal uncle is living well, King Cheng is so strong, he came forward to ask the official media to ask for marriage, and asked for such fanfare, what does he want to do?

"What did the Duke of Yao Guo say?"

"I haven't heard of that, but Di Qigongzi said that King Cheng's temper is extremely face-saving, and he beats gongs and drums to ask for marriage, and no one in the capital dares to refuse Di Qigongzi said that Yao Guogong is an overly cautious character, alas, I don't know if Cousin Ke knows about this."

Li Xiaonuan couldn't cry or laugh, raised his hand and pointed at Gu Xiao,

"You know everything, can he still know?"

Gu Xiao nodded, and said with trust in his eyes:

"The Yao family will definitely reject King Cheng, that Xu Shengrong, who does all kinds of evil, has all five poisons, who doesn't know in the capital? There is no comparison with Cousin Ke at all, how could the Yao family marry their daughter to such a person? ”

Li Xiaonuan squinted at Gu Xiao, sighed heavily for a while, and said patiently:

"Gu Xiao, like your cousin's family, Yao Guogong's family, whether you marry or marry, it mostly depends on the family's ...... Alas, interests, as for who is better for the eldest lady of the Yao family to marry, it is necessary to think about it at the end. ”

Gu Xiao looked at Li Xiaonuan with a frown, and said in a low voice:

"Nuan Nuan, how can you say that? Nake......"

"Gu Xiao, how many times have I told you, you have to think deeply about these things in the capital, alas, just say that if those children of famous families who invite you to eat, drink and have fun everywhere today, they are also half looking at Runan Wangfu and half looking at King Jing, just because of you as a person, I have a relationship with you, I am afraid that you will not understand if there is no one?"

Gu Xiao pursed his lips tightly, his face was full of disbenement, Li Xiaonuan tilted his head and stared at him for a while, sighed heavily, turned the topic back to King Cheng's courtship, and said patiently:

"King Cheng came forward to ask the official media for the loyal uncle's family, and asked for marriage with great fanfare, if Yao Guogong dared to refuse, that is, in front of the people in the capital, he refuted the face of King Cheng, King Cheng has a good face, and everyone knows it, if he returns to Beijing because of this incident, Yao Guogong is afraid that the emperor will have to turn a blind eye, and he has to blame Yao Guogong for not being able to do things, besides, Yao Guogong is an overly cautious character, he must not dare to offend King Cheng, and dare not offend Runan Wangfu and Jingwangfu, at this time, I don't know how much it is difficult."

Gu Xiao listened carefully, thought intently for a while, and then nodded slowly,

"Nuan Nuan, you're right."

"This matter, if you think about it deeply, the Runan Royal Mansion and the Yao Guogong family have agreed on a family affair, who doesn't know? King Cheng must also know, since he knows, he is still asking for marriage with such fanfare, and the person who is asking for marriage is the eldest lady of the Yao family, who is King Cheng going to get along with? Who's going to hit in the face? ”

Gu Xiao nodded again and again,

"Di Qigongzi also said so,"

Li Xiaonuan was stunned and stared at Gu Xiao for a while before continuing:

"A while ago, your cousin Ke and King Jing broke the legs of Lin Ergongzi and broke King Cheng's face.

Li Xiaonuan said as he thought about it carefully, and his expression gradually became solemn, in addition to looking for a place, he was afraid that there was something else in it, maybe ...... Still closing the most expensive chair in the world, Gu Xiao looked at Li Xiaonuan, who had thought of it, and was about to speak, Li Xiaonuan turned his head to look at him and said solemnly:

"Gu Xiao, listen, from tomorrow onwards, you will study at home behind closed doors, don't go out again, don't go out with anyone anymore."

Gu Xiao was stunned, looked at Li Xiaonuan, and said hesitantly:

"If Cousin Ke comes to call me, then I?"

"Your cousin Ke will be there for a while, I'm afraid that I won't have time to come and call you, you can only study at home with peace of mind, whoever comes to invite you out, I just said that I am not feeling well, and I will go to the ancestor later, you go back and rest quickly."

Li Xiaonuan said while getting up and getting off the bed, Lan Chu hurriedly called Yu Buckle in, and waited for Li Xiaonuan to get dressed, Li Xiaonuan turned his head to look at Gu Xiao, who was slightly nervous, while getting dressed, and smiled and comforted:

"Don't think about it, it's nothing, your cousin Ke is in trouble with this family matter, he has to be busy for a while, don't you, you hurry back and rest, aren't you planning to try it next spring?" At this time, if you don't hurry up and study, you will socialize everywhere every day, and what exams will you take when the time comes? Let's go back. ”

Gu Xiao relaxed, smiled, scratched his head and said:

"Nuan Nuan, you're right, I've been busy socializing for a while, and the matter of studying has fallen, so I'll go back first, Nuan Nuan, be careful on the road, don't be greedy to see the scenery, blow the cool breeze."

Li Xiaonuan smiled and nodded, and instructed the jade buckle to call the two mothers-in-law to send Gu Xiao back, seeing Gu Xiao go out, he wore a gray squirrel cloak, and Lan Chu also wore a thick cotton cloak, called a few mothers-in-law, carried lanterns, and hugged Li Xiaonuan to Mingyuan Hall.

Early the next morning, Li Xiaonuan got into the car in the second gate, and went out of the city and went to the gospel temple surrounded by the girl's mother-in-law and the long-term guards.

At the beginning of the afternoon, Li Xiaonuan and his entourage entered the mountain gate of the Gospel Temple, and the steward of the ancient mansion had already picked up outside the mountain gate, leading the convoy into the courtyard that had already been cleaned up in the east of the Gospel Temple.

Li Xiaonuan got out of the car in the courtyard and entered the main house, Lan Chu and Mama Wei were busy directing the girl's mother-in-law, sending a bath basin and a handkerchief like flowing water, waiting for Li Xiaonuan to wash, and changing into clean clothes, and having already sent lunch outside.

Li Xiaonuan ate and slept for a while before getting up, wearing a thick cotton cloak, Mama Wei and Lan Chu waited with a few little girls such as jade buckles, entered the gospel temple from the corner gate of the courtyard, and walked to the abbot's room in the back.

At the door of the abbot's room, the abbot of Kongxiu was already smiling, and his hands were folded at the door of the meditation room.

Li Xiaonuan walked a few steps closely, looked at the abbot of Kongxiu with a smile, and respectfully saluted:

"I haven't seen you for many years, but is the abbot okay?"

"Okay, thank you Master Li for remembering, please sit inside and have a cup of tea."

Li Xiaonuan bowed slightly with his palms together, and followed the abbot of Kongxiu into the house.

The house is still furnished for six or seven years, but it looks a lot old, Li Xiaonuan sat on the old futon in the middle of the room, turned his head to look around, Master Kongxiu sat down slowly, picked up the boiling water from the red clay stove next to him, made tea with a soothing movement, and pushed it in front of Li Xiaonuan, Li Xiaonuan thanked him, slowly drank tea, and talked some gossip with the abbot of Kongxiu.

The abbot of Kongxiu looked at Li Xiaonuan gently, smiled and said:

"Uncle Idealism said, let you go to see him tomorrow morning, and at the end of tomorrow, I will have someone take you there."

Li Xiaonuan smiled and thanked Abbot Kongxiu, said a few words, and got up to leave.

The group walked out of the abbot's room, and Li Xiaonuan turned his head to look at the cicada wings and ordered:

"I want to go to the Guanyin Hall to incense, and then listen to the scriptures for a while, you and Yukou go back first, let people burn a few more carbon basins in the house, the house is too cold, here, there are Lan Chu and Mama Wei to follow."

Cicada wings and jade buckles bent their knees and agreed, and went back first.

Seeing a few little girls walking away, Li Xiaonuan turned her head and signaled to Mama Wei, Mama Wei understood, turned around and went to the front hall to find Chaoyun, Lan Chu accompanied Li Xiaonuan and walked to the Guanyin Palace.

The Guanyin Hall was already empty, Li Xiaonuan took the incense handed over by Lan Chu, knelt down and kowtowed a few times, respectfully inserted the incense into the incense burner, took a few steps back, tilted his head slightly, and looked at the Guanyin Bodhisattva who was looking down on all beings with the same compassion and smile as six or seven years ago.

After looking at it for a while, Li Xiaonuan clasped his hands, lowered his head slightly, and prayed secretly.

There was a rush but rhythmic footsteps at the entrance of the hall, Li Xiaonuan hurriedly opened his eyes and turned his head to look out.

Mama Wei led a calm, bright and unusual woman into the Guanyin Palace.

Chaoyun entered the main hall, looked at Li Xiaonuan, who had grown taller and grown a lot, standing in the middle of the hall like a hollow valley orchid, and looked at it for a long time in a slightly distracted manner, before he came to his senses, bloomed with a smile on his face, walked a few steps forward, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed.

Li Xiaonuan looked at Chaoyun who was kneeling on the ground in surprise, kowtowing his head heavily, and hurriedly motioned for Lan Chu to help him up.

Lan Chu hurriedly stepped forward and helped Chaoyun up, Chaoyun stood up, took out a handkerchief and wiped his tears, and said with a cry and a smile:

"I thought, I don't know when I will be blessed to see the girl, I didn't expect to see the girl so soon, these years, I have been asking someone to inquire about the girl's letter, I didn't expect the girl to enter the capital, it is really Chaoyun's blessing from the day the girl entered Beijing, Chaoyun has been guarding the outside of the ancient mansion every day, and finally can see the girl."

Li Xiaonuan smiled and looked at Chaoyun, who was wiping his tears and his words were a little chaotic, and his heart also sighed sourly.

"How are you doing all these years?"

Li Xiaonuan asked gently, Chaoyun hurriedly nodded again and again, and smiled slightly proudly,

"Okay, it's all thanks to the girl, it's okay, it can't be better, Chaoyun is in a hurry to see the girl, just to report to the girl...... You have to report it to the girl. ”

Li Xiaonuan laughed, nodded, Chaoyun took off the burden on his arm, looked left and right, simply squatted down, opened the burden on the futon, took out a piece of paper first, and handed it to Li Xiaonuan,

"Girl, take a look at this first."

Li Xiaonuan took the document a little inexplicably, opened it, looked down, and was stunned, this is a house deed, on which is written her Li Xiaonuan's name

It's the 13th day, the powder, the reward, this power is infinite
