After the autumn of independence, the weather in the capital was hot day by day, and the aftermath of the autumn tiger was vividly exerted at this time. Walking in the streets and alleys of the capital, the originally lively place is now only crowded with pedestrians, and the whole city seems to be tossed by the heat.

It wasn't until the night of July 30 that a torrential rain finally swept through the capital, which relieved the restless heat.

Early in the morning of the first day of August, the streets and alleys of the capital became lively. The heavy rain did not leave too many traces on the ground, but moistened the land that had been dry for a long time, and even the air in the city seemed to be much fresher and cooler.

This kind of weather is naturally suitable for people who have been aggrieved at home for many days to relax and travel, not to mention that today is still the first day of the new year, which is a good day for the ladies to go out in the name of justice. So early in the morning, the wives of each family were busy, and hurriedly ordered the people to pack up their things, and then they all went out of the city and went to the Lingquan Temple on the outskirts of the city to offer incense.

Mrs. He was no exception, although the wind and rain last night were noisy, the rare coolness still made her sleep well. Early this morning, she was full of energy and said to the big girl who was combing her hair: "Today is the first day of the new year, and it is rare to be cool, I am going to go to Lingquan Temple to make incense, you tell me to go down, let people prepare quickly." ”

The ladies and ladies of large families and even the maids rarely have the opportunity to go out, not to mention that due to the weather in recent days, Mrs. He is even more out of the door, and even the maids around her are suffocated. At this time, as soon as she heard that she was going out, Hexiang immediately smiled, and while responding, she neatly combed Mrs. He's hair in a suitable bun.

After the lotus fragrance was cleaned up and went out with a smile, Mrs. He took a picture of the slightly blurry bronze mirror in front of her, and seemed to be satisfied, so she took a few maids out of the yard and went to the Huayu Pavilion in the backyard.

The spring breeze turns into rain, moisturizing things silently, but this rain pavilion is the name given by He Zhi, the eldest lady of the He family, to the attic where she lives. When Mrs. He brought someone over, He Zhi had already finished dressing up, had breakfast, and was looking for books in the study.

"Zhi'er, why are you reading in the study again? It's cool today, so it's time to go out for a walk. For this daughter who is still waiting for the boudoir after the double ten, Mrs. He is a little anxious, and she is even more afraid that she will be depressed at home all day.

He Zhi smiled lightly when she heard this, with gentleness between her eyebrows and eyes, and she didn't refute anything, so she put back the book she had just found in her hand: "Yes, yes, what my mother said is, I just listen to you." ”

In the face of He Zhi, Mrs. He couldn't lose any temper. She gave birth to three sons, but only this one daughter, and now that the sons are all released, only He Zhi is left alone, and this daughter has been rumored to be so famous, how can she not feel distressed? At that moment, he walked over and took He Zhi's hand and patted it: "Okay, okay, my mother didn't say that you are nothing." It's just that today's weather is rare, and it's the first day of the new year, my mother is going to Lingquan Temple to incense, don't be bored at home, let's go together. ”

He Zhi naturally didn't mention it, and the subordinates of He Mansion also moved quickly. By the time Mrs. He had gone to have breakfast, and He Zhi had changed her clothes for going out, Hexiang had already come to tell her that everything was ready.

So without saying a word, Mrs. He pulled He Zhi, led a group of maids, and went out in a mighty way.

*****************************************************************

Lingquan Temple has been built for more than 100 years, and it has been famous all over the world before the establishment of this dynasty, and it is also the peak of incense until now. Especially on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there is an endless stream of people who come to Lingquan Temple to offer incense.

Mrs. He and He Zhi didn't come early today, and the carriage was blocked for a long time when they were down the mountain. When the two of them finally went up the mountain and came to this Daxiong Treasure Hall, the sun outside was all overhead.

In the Daxiong Treasure Hall, He Zhi and Mrs. He knelt on the futon. He Zhi knelt down and prayed for the health of her parents and her brother, but she heard Mrs. He reading in pieces, praying that she could do her best to find Ruyi Langjun.

To be honest, He Zhi is no longer demanding on this matter. She doesn't have any sisters in her family, so she doesn't have to worry about her bad reputation and getting involved in her sisters' marriage. Now that I am living comfortably at home, as long as I don't take those gossips to heart, there is nothing bad about it. It's just that her parents are not at ease, and they are still working on her marriage.

After Mrs. He knelt down, she turned around and stuffed a stick holder into He Zhi's hand: "Zhi'er, ask for a lot." ”

He Zhi pursed her lips and did not refuse. Even if it was for the sake of her parents' wishes, she knelt down and prayed in a proper manner, and then shook it with both hands in her hands.

The sound of bamboo sticks colliding sounded in the main hall. After a while, there was a soft "click", but it was the sign that landed.

Seeing this, Mrs. He hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up, lowered her head and looked at it, and her face finally relaxed. He Zhi leaned over to take a look, but saw that the slip said "Thirty-sixth sign, sign", but it looked good.

Mrs. He took the sign, looked left and right, and found the master sitting on the side of the main hall to unsign, so she pulled He Zhi and hurriedly ran over: "Master, how can this sign be solved?" ”

It was an old monk with a wrinkled face, who was sitting on the side of the main hall with his eyes closed. Wen Yan opened his eyes, took the slip and glanced at it, and asked, "I don't know what Mrs. wants to ask?" ”

"Ask about marriage!" Mrs. He blurted out.

When the old monk heard this, he glanced at He Zhi beside Mrs. He, and said: "Don't force your marriage, don't worry about good things when it's late." There is no need to look for it in front of you, and you will be fated to return thousands of miles away. ”

This signature sounds simple, and Mrs. He and He Zhi understood it as soon as they heard it. Mrs. He's eyes suddenly lit up: "Master, the meaning of this signature is that my son's good things are coming?" ”

The old monk casually put down the sign in his hand, nodded and said: "According to what is written in this signature, although the marriage of the little donor came late, it should be happy." And in the past few days, the little benefactor should have seen the man. ”

When Mrs. He heard this, she couldn't hold back the smile on her face anymore, and wanted to ask something more, but the old monk closed his eyes and said nothing. But even so, Mrs. He was already satisfied, and she turned her head and donated a lot of sesame oil money.

The mother and daughter went out of the Daxiong Treasure Hall and found a place with few people, and Mrs. He opened her mouth and asked, "Zhi'er, the master said that you have already seen that person, do you think about who it is?" ”

He Zhi's expression was a little unnatural, she usually had little contact with outsiders, let alone a strange man, and she couldn't remember it for a while.

Mrs. He saw her next to her, so she was naturally anxious. After thinking about it, he reminded: "You went out to Jingming Lake to swim in the lake two days ago, did you meet anyone that day?" ”

"Mother, the lake where I swam alone that day was just to see the scenery and play the piano, and nothing happened, so how could I ......" Speaking of this, He Zhi's words suddenly paused, as if she remembered something.

Seeing this, Mrs. He hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" But what do you remember? ”

It's just a one-sided relationship, so where can I count? He Zhi pursed her lips and shook her head: "No, I haven't met anyone." ”

Having said that, He Zhi's previous meal naturally fell into Mrs. He's eyes. It seems that He Zhi really thought of something, but she didn't want to say it, Mrs. He didn't force it, and He Zhi couldn't really be alone when she went out, so when the time came, she called her personal maid Xi Qiu out and asked, and she understood everything.

So the mood was not affected at all, Mrs. He led He Zhi to play in Lingquan Temple for a day with a smile, and it was not until after Shen Shi that she led a group of people back to the house in a mighty way.
