"Look at what my younger siblings said, my mother is usually healthy, and where can I use Master Ci'an to cut the pulse to diagnose diseases. This year is also a serious illness of my mother, and as the eldest daughter-in-law, I naturally have to fulfill my filial piety in everything. ”

The fourth lady obviously said that the Bai family was not filial, and it was common for the mother's mother to be cut by Master Ci'an, and it was the turn of the old lady Ma, and this was the first time. But Xiao Liu didn't want to think about it, Master Ci'an had some friendship with his father, and this relationship was far away from his mother-in-law, how could his mother-in-law be the same as his mother!

In the end, she is already a married daughter, and she licked her face for her mother-in-law and begged for her mother-in-law's house, which is already a piece of filial piety.

Seeing that Ma's face sank, Bai Shi only felt aggrieved, and the look on his face was not good.

Ma saw the two daughters-in-law pinch again, but because of Xiao Liu's words to Bai's filial piety discounted, at this moment goodbye Bai looked angry and aggrieved, Ma became more and more impatient, put the tea cup in his hand aside, and ordered: "Okay, my body is not very refreshing, you all disperse, remember to pack up your things and don't delay the trip early in the morning." ”

The old lady took Mama Duan's hand and went to the inner room, and Yingluo and Su Yingzi also walked out of Fulu Courtyard together.

Back at Qiushui Courtyard, Yingluo thought about it and still felt that it would not be so simple for the eldest lady to ask Master Ci'an to treat the old lady inexplicably. If it is possible to say that the eldest lady is to please the old lady, but when the old lady was seriously ill earlier, why didn't she see the eldest lady begging to Master Ci'an, this time the old lady's body is almost raised, and the eldest lady begged her mother's family.

Because of Su Yingying's grounding, the eldest lady was quite hostile to Yingluo during this period of time, and she wanted to make trouble again and again, and when she saw Yingluo, her nose was not a nose, and her eyes were not eyes. If it weren't for Yingluo's prudence, she never let the eldest lady catch any shortcomings, but I was afraid that she would not be able to stay in Qiushui Courtyard safely.

Perhaps because of the eldest lady's provocative attitude in the past month, Yingluo always felt that something would happen to the Great Country Temple this time.

During the cautious period, she summoned Yun's mother and instructed: "The old lady will take us to the Great Power Temple to listen to the lecture the day after tomorrow, you go to the younger brother's courtyard, let him go out of the house and tell Ma Liu to take people to the Great Power Temple to investigate one or two first, and see if there is anything wrong." ”

Mother Yun responded when she heard this, went out to the big kitchen, and after a while, she went to the outer courtyard with a box of pastries to find Su Jinghua.

In a flash, it was the next night, and the news came back from Su Jinghua's side, but nothing was found, and the stewards and little maids sent by the Hou Mansion to the Great Power Temple in advance did not behave strangely.

Yingluo didn't think much about it anymore when she heard the return, but said that she had been thinking too hard recently, and the plants and trees were all soldiers. Pay more attention to the left and right tomorrow, and the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth.

Before dawn the next day, Yingluo was woken up by Yun's mother, and after waiting to freshen up, she dressed up carefully.

Because today is going to the temple, it is not easy to wear the gorgeous, so Brother Miao waited for Yingluo to wear a long brocade gown with azure dark patterns auspicious clouds and Rui embroidered roses, and put on a moon-white pleated skirt with rose pink edges, and the skirt was embroidered with delicate colorful butterflies on the edge of the skirt, and the skirt swayed with the pace, and the butterflies loomed, as if they could fly out of the folds.

He simply combed a meniscus bun on his head, and inserted a jasper plum blossom tassel hairpin diagonally on the top, and a few scattered sapphire beads on the bottom.

She has been thinking heavily these days, although her face is good, but she has lost weight twice, and now she is wearing such a plain clothes, and the whole person looks at the shoulders and waist, bright and beautiful, and a little weak willow to help the wind delicate and graceful.

Mother Yun looked at the neatly packed Yingluo, frowned distressedly, and said, "Since the day of the recruitment, the girl has seen that she has lost weight, how is this good." The girl really couldn't worry about the matter of accepting the gift, although the Praetorian Guards didn't say when the dowry would be returned, but the people in the whole capital watched the Praetorian Guards carry the things away, so they couldn't help but return them, right? When the things come back, it's over. Besides, Mom, I saw that my uncle didn't take the events of the day to heart, so why should the girl be so obsessed. Today, when the girl arrives at the Great Power Temple, she has to live a good life and ask for a marriage sign, and the designation is on the top of the big luck! ”

As she spoke, Mother Yun draped the silver-white satin mink fur cloak on her shoulders, tied the belt, and saw that she looked solemn and beautiful when she was plain, so she smiled and nodded.

Yingluo didn't tell Yun's mother about Qin Yan, firstly, she didn't know where to start, and secondly, now that she and Chi Jingyi had made a marriage, it was just a matter of worrying for Yun's mother to know.

At this moment, seeing that she was distressed, she patted Mother Yun's hand and said, "Don't worry, nurse, I am going to sign for the good fortune today, and I will bring this good sign back to my mother." ”

As he spoke, he took over the enamel handstove that was just right from Brother Miao's hand, and went out of the house surrounded by the maids. It was dark outside, and a little maid had already lit a lantern and went all the way to the Hanging Flower Gate.

Mother Yun stood under the eaves, watching the light of the lantern turn through the moon cave door, and then turned back into the house.

There was a carriage waiting at the Hanging Flower Gate for a long time, and today's ladies of the Hou Mansion were not only in the second room of the concubine, but also Su Yingying, who was grounded, and the others all followed the old lady.

The eldest lady accompanied the old lady in the first carriage, the fourth lady took her two daughters, and Yingluo was naturally with Su Yingzi.

The two of them were at ease, and when they got into the carriage, they lay down in the thickly padded carriage under the service of the maid and slept again, and when they woke up the carriage had already left the city gate, and the sky outside was already bright. They each freshened up under the service of the maid, used some pastries, and then said that they had a little time and went to the Great Power Temple.

The Great Power Temple is a prestigious royal temple in the capital, and most of the nobles who come here to incense on weekdays are the nobles in the palace, the ladies and ladies of the noble mansions in the capital, and the homes of ordinary people rarely come here to incense.

And today is the day when Master Tzu Yun preaches and preaches the scriptures, and Master Tzu Yun is a well-known monk in Dafeng, so not only the ladies and ladies of the official family come to visit, but even ordinary people are also rushing to this big temple.

The Great Country Temple is not far from the capital, and Yingluo and his entourage set off early, so it is not the beginning of the day when they arrive at the Great Country Temple. Rao is so, and the Great Power Temple is already very lively. The temple is built on the mountainside, but the mountain gate under the temple is cleared out of the venue early, and various temple fair stalls are set up, which is crowded and extremely noisy.

The carriage slowly arrived in front of the mountain road, and Yingluo looked out the window, but saw that many cars from various prefectures had been parked at the foot of the mountain, crowded next to each other, and some acquaintances of the officials and wives got out of the carriage to greet each other.

When she and Su Yingzi helped the maid get out of the carriage, the old lady over there had also helped the eldest lady's hand get out of the car. The steward of the Hou Mansion who was in charge of the front station greeted him, followed by seven or eight shoulders lifted by two people, and the eldest lady waited for the old lady to go to the front, and instructed the pine branches that followed to serve the old lady well, and then turned back to Yingluo and others: "Okay, each of them is on the shoulder, go up the mountain early, there are many people today, and I am afraid that it will be crowded for a while." ”

Saying that, the eldest lady also went up on her shoulder, Yingluo looked at the first step of the unusually wide and flat mountain steps, and saw that there were many pedestrians rushing up the mountain, including some official wives and ladies, who sincerely worshiped the Buddha and went up the mountain by themselves.

Although she also had the heart to climb up by herself, it can be seen that the old lady and others have gone up to the shoulder, so it is not easy to be maverick anymore, so she only sighed and climbed up the shoulder.

It had been snowing intermittently for almost a month, and the mountain was still a vast color, and Yingluo enjoyed the snow all the way to the temple gate. Everyone has shouldered the shoulders, under the leadership of the monk Zhike, first went to the big country temple for the Ding'an Hou Mansion to arrange the room, simply used some fasting food, and then a little novice came to inform that Master Ci'an will have a little more than half an hour to ascend to the throne in the Fayuan Hall to give a lecture, please listen to the donors of the lecture will enter early, so as not to wait for the time to come to the scene too disturbing.

This Master Ci'an is the religious teacher of the Tianxi Emperor, and he is either in retreat or traveling on weekdays, and he does not go to the palace to preach and explore the Dharma in the imperial palace, and he will not ascend to the throne to give a lecture once in two or three years, so there are many ladies who come to the noble family of the Great Power Temple today.

After listening to the words of the little novice, the old lady naturally did not dare to slack off, nor did she dare to hold it up, so she immediately stood up and took the ladies of the Hou Mansion to the Fayuan Palace.

Fayuan Hall is the largest hall in the Great Power Temple, there is a square that can accommodate tens of thousands of people in front of the main hall, the futon is arranged in the hall and the square outside the hall today, the ladies and girls of each house kneel on the futon and listen to the lecture of Master Ci'an.

Although it is said that all beings in front of the Buddha are equal, there are too many nobles in Fayuan Temple today, but it is not something that ordinary people can pass casually. Therefore, all the way to Fayuan Temple is like the Ding'an Hou Mansion ladies and dependents, the old lady has to stop from time to time to meet the ladies of acquaintances.

However, because I wanted to go over to listen to the scriptures, and this is a pure place for Buddhism, I didn't say hello, and I nodded my head and went quietly to my own place.

Outside the Fayuan Palace, the atmosphere was even more solemn, that is, the crowd flowed, and it was full of silk and satin, and the pearls and emerald Luoqi were all visible, but everyone's footsteps seemed to be much slower and slower, and it was quieter all around.

Yingluo followed behind the old lady and lowered her eyebrows, but her eyes were a little curious and looked around without a trace, she was looking at the shiny glazed tiles on the tall and magnificent Fayuan Hall in front of her, when she heard a sharp cry that instantly broke the solemnity and tranquility around her.

"Five girls! Five girls, please stay! ”

Because the surroundings were so quiet, the sound suddenly sounded, like a thunderclap out of thin air, which startled everyone, and they all stopped and looked at the place where the sound came from.

It was a woman's voice, perhaps because she was excited or loud, and her voice was a little sharp and harsh.

Yingluo heard the voice and her heart twitched, and she looked over a little blankly, but saw that the voice was a woman wearing a lilac embroidered long gown with twigs and roses, and Yingluo had not seen the woman's appearance clearly, she had already run over in a few steps, and actually knelt down in front of Yingluo with a pop, and came up and hugged Yingluo's legs.

Yingluo never thought that such a scene would happen, and she didn't expect that the five girls who were shouting in the woman's mouth would be herself, and she was stunned for a moment in front of everyone's eyes, and she frowned and took a step back.

The woman didn't pull her desperately, but she slammed her head in front of Yingluo, hung her head and cried: "Five girls are merciful, please give the maid a way to live!" ”

Her cry was extremely poignant, like the last prayer of a person who had been cornered, and immediately made everyone look at Yingluo and point at her.

Yingluo had already heard someone behind her asking, "Which house is that?" ”

"Back to the words of the old lady, it seems that it is a person from the Ding'an Hou Mansion, listening to the woman shouting, that should be the fifth girl from the Ding'an Hou Mansion."

"Oh? Is it the Ding'an Hou Mansion that was beaten on the street by King Xin's concubine not long ago? But the five girls didn't know what they had done, and they forced the maid here. ”

……

There were whispers all around, and the old lady's face suddenly turned red, and a pair of sharp eyes stared at Yingluo.

Yingluo is innocent to death this time, she doesn't know the woman in front of her at all, okay, she instinctively looked up at the Bai family standing next to the old lady.

saw that Bai Shi was also staring at the woman kneeling on the ground with a frightened face, and he didn't want to fake his expression. Regardless of whether this matter is related to the Bai family or not, at this moment, it is clear that someone is trying to damage her reputation, Yingluo did not dare to slack off, and her face immediately showed a look of surprise, but she was not panicked, she only raised her voice and said: "This lady, do you deny the wrong person?" I don't know you, so why should I give you a way to live? Don't cry first, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me in detail first, my grandmother, aunts and sisters are all kind and kind people, and they will definitely help you think of ideas. ”

Yingluo said and motioned to Brother Miao to help the woman up, but before Brother Miao's hand touched the woman's arm, the woman suddenly threw down her arm and shook Brother Miao away, and kowtowed her head again, she suddenly raised her head, looked at Yingluo with tears in her eyes, and said: "The fifth girl is a nobleman, and she doesn't know the maid, but the maid can't help but know the five girls." ”

When she looked up, Yingluo saw it clearly, this woman dressed as a woman looked at her twenties, with willow eyebrows, apricot eyes and peach cheeks, Qiong nose and cherry lips, snow skin and flowers, even if her hair was slightly messy at the moment, and her forehead was bruised, she was also exceptionally beautiful and delicate.

At this moment, her face was full of tears, and she looked even more pitiful, miserable, and pitiful. Yingluo looked at her, but a little coldness rose in her heart, and she vaguely guessed the identity of this woman.
