Chapter 173: Look at each other
"Looks pretty good. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Sikong Yuanshuo had reservations in his evaluation, "What about Ning Ce? How does he feel about himself? ”
As soon as she talked about this queen mother, she was a little annoyed, and said distressedly: "Ning Ce that child was silent, the mourning family asked him, he didn't say anything except 'let your old man decide', but the mourning family deliberately created an opportunity for him to have more contact with the fifth miss of the Dai family, and he turned a deaf ear and behaved very coldly, and the mourning family doesn't know what he thinks now!" ”
Sikong Yuanshuo also frowned when he heard this: "It seems that Ning Ce neither hates nor likes the fifth miss of the Dai family, if you really give the marriage, he will properly marry the fifth miss of the Dai family, as for what will happen after marrying back, it's hard to say......"
"How can that work? The reason why the mourning family is willing to give him a marriage is that they hope that there will be a person around him who knows the cold and the hot, and the husband and wife can be harmonious and happy. If he marries someone back to dry, what's the point? ”
"So don't worry about this matter first, and then take a look, at least when he comes back from Shandong." Sikong Yuan Shuo thought.
The Queen Mother nodded approvingly.
Li Wan stayed in Jinxiang Houfu until Hai Shi, returned to the Remnant Lotus Pavilion, and after bathing and changing clothes, he was so tired that he lay on his back on the bed, and fell asleep after a while.
When I woke up the next morning, it was already dawn.
Chu Fang said with a smile while hanging the tent: "Are you awake, how many times has Madame sent someone to ask?" ”
"What, my mother is looking for me?"
Only then did she tell her that Mrs. Li had sent Mianyue yesterday, but she was not in the mansion, so Mianyue didn't say anything. Mianyue came again this morning, because she was still asleep and the time was very urgent, so Mianyue asked Zhu Fang to tell her.
It turned out that Mrs. Li and several ladies made an appointment to go to Jihua Temple today to offer incense, and those ladies would bring their daughters with them, so Mrs. Li wanted Li Guan to go with her.
Chu Fang asked, "Miss, are you going?" If you don't want to go, the slave and maid should go and talk to the lady, so as not to delay the lady from going out. ”
Although Li Guan bears the name of the eldest lady of the Li family, she rarely shows her face, and she doesn't like to go out to socialize and be judged by others. But when I went to Jihua Temple today, the other ladies were accompanied by their daughters, and if she didn't go, then Mrs. Li would be alone.
Thinking of this, she immediately asked, "Did Mianyue say when her mother plans to go out?" Can't get ready now? ”
"Mianyue said that Mrs. planned to go out at the beginning, and now it has just passed, and the slave maid will serve you to wash and change your clothes, move quickly, it should be in time."
"Okay, you ask someone to go to the main courtyard and say something, I'll pack up and go over."
Chu Fang pointed to a little maid to tell Mrs. Li, and she, Xun Fang and others served Li Guan to get up and make up.
When there was still a quarter of an hour before the beginning of the year, Li Wan took Chu Fang into the main courtyard.
Mrs. Li had already prepared and was waiting for her. Seeing that she was wearing a lotus-colored Cordyceps gown, a snow-white fur collar cloak, her black hair neatly combed into a snail bun, a comb grate with pearls on the handle, thin grease powder, and slim, Mrs. Li couldn't hide a smile on her face, and took her hand into the carriage.
Jihua Temple is in the west of the city, is the dojo of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the incense is flourishing all year round.
By the time they arrived, the two ladies had already arrived, and they had met and sat in the wing room in the backyard of the temple drinking tea and chatting.
The two ladies each brought a little girl, both of whom were in their teens, looking innocent, and Li Guan was a few years older than them, so he had nothing to say, so he sat beside his mother and listened to the adults.
After a cup of tea, the little maid came in and said, "Mrs. Gao and the eldest lady of the Gao family have arrived!" ”
Li Guan saw that Mrs. Li's eyes lit up, and she looked at the door with a little expectation in her eyes.
As soon as the curtain was raised, Mrs. Gao and the eldest lady of the Gao family walked in one after another.
Mrs. Gao is about 30 years old, wearing a real purple gold sleeve jacket, with a kind temperament and a hearty smile. The eldest lady of the Gao family is only fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a sand-green jacket, a white pleated skirt, fair skin, smiling eyes, and cute.
The ladies were again in agreement.
When the people arrived, everyone moved to the main hall to worship the Bodhisattva and offer incense.
After the incense, the eldest lady of the Gao family proposed to wander around, but Mrs. Gao was not allowed: "Several aunts are here, you don't serve in front of the elders, where do you want to go?" As he spoke, he glanced at Mrs. Li, looking a little nervous.
Mrs. Li looked at the eldest lady of the Gao family with a very kind gaze, and said with a smile: "It is rare for the child to come out once, if she wants to wander around, let her go, just send a few more people to serve." ”
Li Guan's heart moved when he saw this, thinking that Mrs. Li was marrying Li Zhiwei recently, looking at the current situation, she should have come to see each other on purpose today, and most of the objects of her eyes were the eldest lady of the Gao family, otherwise Mrs. Gao would not be so nervous.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at the eldest lady of the Gao family, with a little curiosity in her eyes.
"Guan'er, do you want to walk around, if you want, go with Miss Gao!" Seeing her staring at the eldest lady of the Gao family, Mrs. Li asked with a smile.
Since I came to see each other, it is a good thing to have the opportunity to contact the eldest lady of the Gao family more, just to help my mother check the gates.
Li Wan laughed and looked very happy: "Okay, I heard that the murals in the apse of Jihua Temple are very famous, and my daughter wants to see it!" ”
"That's good, you two little girls are just companions!" Mrs. Li smiled heartily.
When Mrs. Gao saw it, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the eldest lady of the Gao family with a smile: "Since this is the case, you can play with your sister of the Li family!" ”
The eldest lady of the Gao family nodded again and again, and ran over to hold Li Guan's arm: "Let's go!" "Generous, not afraid of life at all.
Li Wan liked her bright smile and had a good impression of her, smiling and nodding.
The two of them were served by a few maids and women and went to the apse.
The mural painting of the apse of Jihua Temple comes from the hand of the famous master of the previous dynasty, has a history of more than 200 years, the painting is the story of Guanyin Pudu sentient beings, the figure image is full and vivid, the color is rich and elegant, and it is very well preserved.
Li Guan is quite accomplished in painting, and he looks at it seriously, and the eldest lady of the Gao family is curious when she sees it: "I heard my mother say, sister, you are very good at painting, and you have a deep foundation, it seems to be true?" ”
Li Wan knew that it must have been passed out by Mrs. Li again, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he said modestly: "Mrs. has won the award, I just have nothing to do and paint casually!" ”
The eldest lady of the Gao family naturally didn't believe it, so she asked Li Guan to appreciate the mural and tell her: "...... At most, I will draw a few leaves and a few flowers, these murals are good-looking, but I don't see any fame, good sister, you tell me! ”
Li Wan thought that she might be his future sister-in-law, so he was a little close to her, and was unwilling to refuse her request, so he carefully explained to her from the overall layout of the mural, the outline of the character lines, to the local colors, and the brilliant small details.
Seeing that she was speaking seriously, the eldest lady of the Gao family gradually put away her playful attitude and sounded seriously.
The two of them lingered in front of the mural for half an hour, until the serving mother-in-law reminded them that it was not too early, and then they came out of the apse, arm in arm, to go to Mrs. Li and them.
Outside the apse of Jihua Temple is a small courtyard, and a large locust tree is planted in the middle of the courtyard, which is heavily covered with snow.
As soon as they came out, they saw a young man in a royal blue tuan-patterned straight coat standing by the flower bed, and his little servant was reprimanded impatiently: "...... You can't do a little thing, what's the use of Young Master Ben asking you? (To be continued.) )
