Chapter 17: The Graceful Layout
Back in her yard, Wanxi was puzzled, sat under the porch and asked Zipei, "What happened today?" Why did my father suddenly hold a family feast? ”
Zipei replied: "I heard that this afternoon, the king of Chenjun went to find the eldest young master to play chess, and the lord also accompanied him, I heard that this county king is also a master, but in a cup of tea, he lost to the eldest young master five games of chess, which made the eldest young master call it boring, and he actually said that he would no longer accompany the county king, so angry that the old man scolded the eldest young master, but this county king's temper is really good, not only was he not angry, but he smiled and said to the lord that the emperor has not met an opponent for many years, and the chess in the palace is also old. On the one hand, there are people who can accompany the emperor to play chess, on the other hand, the eldest young master can be played with more masters, and there are many lost chess games in the palace for the eldest young master to study, and in the future, other countries have envoys to visit, and they can also promote the prestige of our country in this regard, the eldest young master readily agreed when he heard that there could be chess games and masters, but although the lord was happy, he was worried that the temper of the eldest young master would anger the emperor and implicate Luofu, and the king of the county would vouch for his own head, and the emperor would not embarrass the eldest young master, so the lord and the old lady were so happy, The Luo family finally came out with a person from the emperor's side.

After listening to it, Wanxi knew in her heart, no wonder the old lady saw that she was so kind today, and her feelings were to get benefits from King Chenjun, but why did he do this, he always felt that with the mind of this county king, this matter was not just for himself to please the old lady, hey, how could he think of it for himself.
Zipei looked at her young lady who was silent at first, then smiled, and shook her head very puzzled, and quietly asked Zijin: "Miss, what's wrong?" ”
Zijin looked at Zipei and said with a smile: "Zipei, you are really a stupid girl, Miss is a girl Huaichun." ”
When Wanxi heard this, she glared at Zijin and said, "It seems that Jin'er understands everything now, Zipei, go to Yunmo tomorrow and ask him to find a good family for Zijin." ”
The three girls laughed together in the courtyard, on the other side of the courtyard wall, King Chenjun leaned on the wall, low eyebrows and smiled, Xi'er, I only wish you joy in this life.
As soon as Zhan Feng entered the courtyard, he saw the appearance of his county king, and thought to himself, the county king is finished, poisoned, and there is no cure.
King Chenjun saw that he still looked disgusted with himself when he came in, so he asked, "How happened to the things you arranged?" Zhan Feng thought to himself, you are not so anxious to deal with the war report, so he said: "It's all arranged, do you want to ......" King Chenjun interrupted him and said: "Don't worry, the day after tomorrow, they will go to the temple to make incense, it seems that she has any other arrangements, let's talk about it when she comes back." ”
After breakfast the next day, Wanxi happily took the two girls out, and after buying some incense and fruits, the three of them went to Wangyulou for lunch.
Wangyulou is the most popular restaurant in the capital, although the area is not large, but the dishes and pastries are very delicious, which is more suitable for the appetite of girls, so these rich ladies in the capital often come here to eat.
As soon as they entered the door, Xiao Er greeted them and greeted, "Miss, please come inside." Wanxi and the others looked up at the red-clothed girl dining in the private seat on the second floor, and said to Xiao Er: "The private room on the second floor." ”
"Yes, there are three private rooms on the second floor, Miss, please come here."
Wanxi and her entourage sat on the edge of the woman in red, and the three of them finished ordering the dishes with great interest, only to hear Zijin say: "Miss, we have bought a lot of fruits, and this Tenghua Temple is not far away, why are you preparing so many things?" Zipei said: "Our young lady is seeing that the second miss is sick, so I plan to prepare one for the second miss." Zijin said again: "The second miss doesn't need us to prepare, yesterday after dinner in the front hall, accompanied the young lady back, I also heard the second miss and Heng Wang Ye said that this time the incense must be prepared personally, so the marriage of the Ling, all of which made Heng Wang Ye very happy, and kept telling the second miss to be more exposed on the mountain, she caught a cold again, and she must bring a thick cloak." Zipei said again: "Ah, I will leave early tomorrow morning, I haven't found the lady's cloak yet, go back and remind me, don't forget." ”
Hearing this, Wanxi thought to herself, the time, place and people had told this Miss Chen, and the rest of the things depended on the mood of this Miss Chen, so she said: "Didn't you still shout about being hungry just now, why are you talking so much, so many pastries can't stop your mouth." ”
The three of them saw the departing figure of the girl in red through the window, looked at each other and smiled, this meal was really delicious.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Luo set off with Qi's Shu Yao and Wanxi, plus the goods and the maid and a group of five carriages. Qi Shi and Shu Yao sat in a car, Shu Yao asked Qi Shi, "Mother, have you arranged all the people who will act at night?" Qi replied with a cruel smile: "My daughter, you can rest assured, this time the guarantee is foolproof, my mother is all taken care of, and you can wait to come back to be your princess Heng with peace of mind." Shu Yao smiled, thinking to herself, as long as tonight, Luo Wanxi, you will be spurned by 10,000 people, and you will be expelled from the house by your grandmother, and no one will remember you as Miss Luo Mansion from now on, and from now on, I Luo Shuyao will no longer be the second lady of Luofu, and my mother will no longer be the second lady.
Arrived at the temple, everyone first worshiped the Buddha, and had a vegetarian meal at noon, in the afternoon, the old lady went to the meditation room to talk to the host for a while, and the others were free to move, Wanxi went to the back hall alone to worship for a while, and then went back to his room with a volume of Buddhist scriptures, at dinner, Shu Yao pretended to inadvertently ask where Wanxi went in the afternoon, Wanxi replied that she went to the back hall to worship the Buddha, Shu Yao regretted that the eldest sister did not call herself, Wanxi had to deduce that Yao'er's body has not recovered, as long as she is sincere, it is okay to worship Buddha in the room.
After dinner, Wanxi helped Mrs. Luo back to the room, accompanied the old lady, and laughed from time to time. During this period, he took Zipei back to his room, turned on the lamp, took the Buddhist scriptures and left through the back window, and quietly returned to the old lady's room.
The old lady was about to go to bed, and when she saw that Wanxi was back, she said with a smile: "Why is Xi'er back again?" ”
Wanxi said obediently: "Grandmother, my granddaughter made a wish in front of the Buddha today, and copied the Buddhist scriptures overnight tonight, praying for her grandmother, thinking that copying by her grandmother's side would be more sincere, and it would be more effective." ”
The old lady was very moved: "You child, just have this heart." Wanxi helped Lian'er serve the old lady to lie down, and said, "Grandmother, you can sleep peacefully, and your granddaughter is outside, so she won't disturb you." ”
The old lady was old, and she slept very lightly, and from time to time she raised her eyes to see Wanxi copying in the dim light, with a quiet little face, and she was very satisfied. But what she didn't know was that at this moment, a man was already lying on the bed.
