Although the weather in the capital at the end of May is very hot, the flowers everywhere are also gorgeous and flourishing, which is very suitable for traveling. Inside and outside the capital, led by Gyeongbokgsa Temple and Jingxin Jingyuan, there are various gatherings and festivals in May and June, and the dragon boat lantern festival is full of tricks.

Ru Ji asked Cai Wan to inquire and plan well, originally had some ambitions to have a good time, but after all, the wedding date of Su San Niangzi and General Shi Ben is imminent, although there are not too many things to prepare, but it is not idle enough to really go out every day.

So after discussing with Chen Hao, Ruji only decided to ask the family of three to go to the scene of the Fukuji Lantern Festival on the first day of the first day of June.

This is one of the biggest festivals of Gyeongbokgsa every year, and from noon there are various food stalls inside and outside the temple, as well as various stalls and juggling, and at about dusk in the evening, fireworks are set off on the mountain behind Gyeongbokgsa Temple.

In June last year, Ru Ji has not crossed over, although it was also mentioned when chatting about the Beijing folk festivals and travel opportunities, but in the past, Ru Xi was too cowardly, and the Pu family only participated in about half of the opportunities for family outings, and even if they went out, their personalities were weak and fearful, and they had no money at hand, and they had never played happily. In the memories of the two lives, the only impression of the Gyeongboksa Lantern Festival on the first day of June was that in the first year after the original owner and Shi Renlang got married, when the relationship was still good. But the second wife of the Shi family, Zuo, was already very dissatisfied with the thin dowry of Ruji at that time, and strictly ordered the two to only go out for an hour, so Ruji at that time did not have the opportunity to really see the fireworks of the prestigious Gyeongbokgong Temple.

This time, Ru Ji is full of expectations. Not only did she accompany Su Sanniang out with Chen Hao to relax, but she also asked Chen Run and Cai Wan to set up a stall of Pu Weiji's herbal tea and snacks in Gyeongbokgk Temple. Thinking of the crowded scene of Gyeongbokgong Temple in the next few days, Ruji couldn't help but smile when she thought about the silver that came in.

"What are you smirking at the ledger," Chen Hao hugged Ruxi's waist from behind and habitually kissed her sideburns, "Grandma Chen, are you calculating to make money?" ”

Ru Xi pursed her lips and smiled, and pushed away Chen Hao's hand: "Grandpa Chen, you are so honest, don't I have to work hard, grandma." Alright, don't make a fuss, I need to go see my mother's side, and we'll have to go out when we're ready." ”

"Yes." Chen Hao still hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear at the same time.

"Really?" Ru Ji turned to look at him, her eyes were full of cunning, and she sighed, "General Shi really has a mind." ”

Chen Hao nodded, his eyes were somewhat relieved, his mother had worked hard for so many years, and now General Shi Ben was so attentive, he also felt very relieved. After all, no matter how filial the son and daughter-in-law are, the widowed mother is also lonely in the end.

The two talked and laughed again, and then went to pick up Su Sanniang together and boarded the car to travel.

When Ruji and others arrived at Gyeongbokgsa Temple, it was not long after lunch, although all kinds of stalls and juggling stalls have been set up, very dense, but there are not too many tourists, it is a good time to play and walk.

For example, after getting married with Su Sanniang, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law became more and more harmonious. Chen Hao followed Su Sanniang on the other side with a smile, and the family was happy, and they walked around for more than an hour unconsciously.

Seeing Shen, Su Sanniang and Ru Xi were a little tired, so the family went to the quiet room of the apse to have tea. As soon as I entered the apse, the familiar smell of incense powder and the style of clothes greeted me, and I met an acquaintance again.

Ru Ji couldn't help but glance at Chen Hao, and pouted helplessly.

The lantern festival at Gyeongbokgsa Temple is the first event in the capital in early June, and it is normal to meet acquaintances. It's just that it's really ...... to bump into each other like this

Su Sanniang felt that Ruxi's hand was stiff, so she patted Ruxi with a smile, and took the initiative to nod forward: "Mrs. in-law, what a coincidence." ”

And the families on the other side also have different thoughts.

Although the Chi family is not the highest status among the female dependents, it is the serious in-laws of the Chen family, and they immediately stepped forward with a smile: "Mrs. in-laws, isn't it." You're coming to see the Lantern Festival, too. ”

Su Sanniang smiled, and nodded to the second wife Lu beside the Chi family, and the second wife of the Shi family, Zuo. Mrs. Lu Er and Mrs. Shi returned the courtesy simply, and each had a vague look of surprise.

Strictly speaking, Mrs. Shi Er had seen Su Sanniang, but firstly, there were very few contacts at that time, and the total was only three or four faces, and secondly, it was more than ten years ago. After more than ten years, I met on the street, if it wasn't for the title of Chi's wife, Mrs. Shi would not dare to confirm that this was the cold and quiet widow Su Shi back then.

However, when I saw it today, the azure jacket lake blue skirt, the jasper hairpin and pearl pendant, although it could be seen that the age was not young, but the bright complexion still instantly dwarfed many young girls.

Not to mention, among the younger girls present at the moment, Lu Hui is gentle, such as Yan Qingxiu, such as Shu Jiaomei, Shi Linlin also has three points of beautiful colors, but to be honest, in addition to the young vitality of the little girl, when it comes to facial features and elegant temperament, everyone is inferior to Su Sanniang.

And Ruji, who is holding hands with Su Sanniang, although she is not as beautiful as the bright green cherry blossoms, she is also a little more elegant and bright like Yan Rushu and others. Now that she has changed into a young woman's dress, her eyebrows and eyes are full of wishful and cheerful moist light, and Chen Hao is accompanied by Su San Niangzi on the left and right, which is really a comfortable and joyful day after marriage, and envy others.

Speaking of which, everyone is a direct or indirect relative, and they are all eating tea in the quiet room of the apse of this Gyeongbokgok Temple, and after a mutual salute, it is really not suitable to sit separately, so no matter what everyone thinks and whether they are embarrassed, even if they are still mixed with Lu Mao, Shi Renlang, and Chi Zhugui among the younger generations, the Chi family, as an elder, still has to invite Su Sanniang and Ruji Chen Hao's family to sit down and eat tea together.

Su Sanniang quietly patted Ruxi's hand, and then responded with a smile. Although the relationship and grievances between the people in front of him are really a bit complicated, the Chi family's invitation is a courtesy after all, and if he refuses, it will be shameless.

Fortunately, the quiet room in the side hall where Chi and the others ate tea was very spacious, although at this moment, the female dependents of four or five families were sitting together to eat tea and rest with the younger generations, but it was not too crowded.

Ru Xi and Chen Hao sat side by side beside Su San Niangzi, and looked at the others one by one after seeing the ceremony. There are only three men in the same generation except Chen Hao, that is, Shi Renlang, Lu Mao and Ji Zhugui. The three of them were all light-colored Confucian shirts, and when they looked at it from a distance, they were all gentle. It's just that when they saw Ru Ji and Chen Hao, except for Lu Mao's heartlessness, and even a little bit of close friendship, Shi Renlang and Ji Zhugui flashed their eyes almost at the same time, and their faces were slightly difficult to look at.

Shi Renlang doesn't need to say much about Ruji's thoughts, Ji Zhugui and Ruji haven't seen each other head-on since that accident. At this moment, Ruji was not too surprised to see Ji Zhugui, after all, she had been recuperating for nearly eight months, and she should have been able to come out and walk around a long time ago. According to the news that Cai Wan heard a few days ago, the Chi family really began to discuss the marriage with the Geng family, so it is normal for Chi Zhugui to follow the Pu family out to act.

And when Ji Zhugui saw Ruji at this moment, whether he hated or feared in his heart, or whether the two were intertwined, it was difficult to say.

As for the girls of the same generation, when it comes to appearance and posture, the most outstanding ones in comparison are probably Lu Hui and Ruyan. Lu Huisheng has a gentle temperament, Ruyan is delicate, as for Shi Linlin and Cuiliu Shuang'e, they can only praise their youth.

In this way, the three families together have three men and six women sitting together, and at first glance, they only feel that they have a large picture of clothes and sideburns, which is like a group blind date meeting. If you think about it carefully, it's really similar, looking at the way Mrs. Lu Er and Chi are talking, the matter between Lu Mao and Ruyan should be □□, and they are about to officially invite the official media to come to the door. After all, Ruyan is more than a year younger than a year younger, just turned fourteen, and is at an age where she can marry and wait. As for the girls of the Chi family and Shi Linlin, they probably dressed up carefully and went out with the mood of "courting a chance encounter".

There is only one case, looking at the interaction between Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Lu, it seems that Shi Renlang and Lu Hui did not develop as smoothly as in the first life.

Ru Ji remembered the last time she met Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Shi Er at the Gyeongbok Temple assembly, so she asked Chen Hao in a low voice.

Chen Hao and Ru Xi were sitting on the other side of Su Sanniang, far away from Shi Renlang, Lu Hui and others, and the elders probably knew about the small discord between the juniors, so they didn't have to ask them to sit together. Therefore, at this time, the whispers between Ruji and Chen Hao were not heard.

"Lord Liu asked me once." Chen Hao's voice was extremely low, "About considering marrying the Shi family." ”

Ruji nodded, and she probably knew it in her heart. Lu Hui, as the concubine of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, although she is not as royal as the princess and county lord, but she is not to the point of calling a general's nephew like Shi Renlang as a spare tire. Although General Shi Ben is an important minister of the military, the overall family background of the Shi family is mediocre, and Shi Renlang, the nephew, is not particularly valued by General Shi Ben, and the friendship between the two rooms and the three rooms of the Shi family can only be regarded as not bad or bad. If Shi Renlang himself won the second-class jinshi and then went to marry Lu Hui, then everyone could be regarded as a good person, but if Shi Renlang had already had the intention of marrying the Liu family, and now he came back to Lu Hui, how could the Lu family bear it?

The elders chatted for a while, but the left was just the parents who were short, eating, drinking, living and traveling. Although Su Sanniang didn't talk much, she didn't say too much, facing the politeness of the Chi family and the vague enthusiasm of Mrs. Lu Er, it can be regarded as a question and answer, and by the way, she said a few polite words.

The marriage date between Su Sanniang and General Shi Ben was on the ninth day of June eight days later, who didn't know that this was the future wife of General Yipin? Well-informed people know that this marriage can be promoted, but in fact, it has passed the clear road in the palace. Although Su Sanniang came from an ordinary background and remarried as a widow, she will be the stepwife of General Shi Ben in the future, and there must be a seal from the Ministry of Rites.

At that time, the wives of fourth- and fifth-grade civil officials like Mrs. Lu and the Chi family were actually not at the same level and social circle as the third lady, let alone the wife of a sesame official like the Geng family.

It's just that having said that, it is relatively easy for others to accept this principle of feng shui turns, but the second lady of the Shi family, Zuo, is a little overwhelmed in her heart. After all, Su Sanniang and Chen Hao lived in the Shi family in the capital for a short time, and she looked down on this widow at that time. Not to mention that because of the entanglement between Shi Renlang and Ru Ji at the beginning, she hated the Chen family very much, even if Su Sanniang became the wife of General Shi Ben, she would call her a second sister-in-law, and she would be inferior to her in terms of the order of the elders and children. But at this moment, the Chi family's Geng family, and even the second wife of Lu, were obviously talking to Su Sanniang.

And what makes the second wife of the Shi family unbearable is the opinion of others on Shi Renlang. has also been widowed for many years, in the heart of the second wife of the Shi family, Zuo, his son Shi Renlang is the No. 1 outstanding young man in Tianzi, handsome and talented, that is simply the reincarnation of Wenqu Xing, Shi Renlang is cheaper than anyone, no matter Pu Ruxi, Liu Chengyin or Lu Hui, he should be happy to thank his ancestral tomb for the green smoke. When she went to the Pu family to propose marriage, she was rejected by Ru Xi, and then in a blink of an eye, she was engaged to Chen Hao's little catcher, Shi Renlang actually fell seriously ill for this, and at that time, the second wife of the Shi family scolded the big girl of the Pu family at home who was not open her eyes and was not blessed.

Later, after two contacts with the Liu family, it didn't work out, and now the second wife of the Lu family is obviously not happy to take care of herself, and she doesn't look down on her baby son, but she goes to talk to Su Sanniang and Chen Hao, and they are praising Chen Hao and Pu Ruxi for their talent, filial piety and harmony. Mrs. Shi Er became more and more depressed when she heard this, and she couldn't help it anymore after eating another cup of tea, just when Mrs. Lu said that the clothes that Su San Niang was wearing today were newly embroidered in Kyushu with a new cloud brocade, which was light and soft, and Mrs. Shi Er laughed dryly: "Such good materials, the Chen family lady has bought a lot recently?" Sure enough, it is good to have a daughter-in-law with a rich dowry, but it is a pity that Mrs. Pu only wears plain satin now. ”
