Chapter 100 Blind Date
After sending away Fang Banniang and the Chen family girl, Lu Luo took Lu Fu and her maids Biyun and Shupo to wander around the back mountain of the temple.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the temple is sparsely populated.
The weather is sunny and windless, the golden sun is warm, and the trails in the back mountains are covered with fallen leaves that have not yet melted into the mud, or maple red or golden or dark brown, like a brocade slowly spreading, slowly extending away, boundless and endless.
"It's all you, this bare mountain, what is there to see?" Lu Fu complained, "If you come yesterday, it will be a temple fair, then it will be lively." β
"Isn't it nice to listen to the sound of the Buddha?" Lu Luo didn't care.
"It's goodβit's boring!" Lu Fu dragged out his voice, very dissatisfied, "I'll accompany you to visit the temple, turn around and ride your horse for me!" β
"Nope." Lu Luo's tone was soft, but his words were resolute, and Lu Fu's soft grinding and hard bubbles didn't work.
They walked slowly along the mountain road, along the direction of the extension, and there was a small Buddha hall not far away, offering unknown Buddhas, very happy.
Lu Luo and Lu Fu went in to worship.
In the small Buddha hall, it is guarded by an elderly monk, who is meditating with a kind face.
Beside the old monk, there was a little girl, seven or eight years old, a ball of pink jade, round cheeks, black and smooth hair, round eyes, delicate and small mouth, very cute.
"In the monk's temple, is there still a little girl practicing? Isn't it supposed to go to a nunnery? Lu Fu was a little surprised, and at the same time felt that this child was so beautiful and cute, and she wanted to take it back to play.
Lu Luo also thought that this child was cute, like a delicate porcelain doll.
"People are dressed in bright clothes. Where is the practice? It must have been with the elders who went up the mountain to worship incense and secretly ran over to play. Lu Luo said with a smile, "It is estimated that she followed her maid or nurse to the backyard to relieve herself and leave her here temporarily." β
After worshipping, Lu Luo planned to continue walking.
Lu Fu wanted to play with this little girl.
Biyun and Shupo are also eager to try.
Lu Luo stopped them: "Don't make trouble, don't make trouble, people meditate, the little girls are more pious than you." β
The little girl also noticed Lu Luo and Lu Fu, with small round eyes, looking curiously.
Her little eyes. The eyes are dark. Like an ink-colored gemstone, it emits a clear and bright light, which can shine a soft light on people's hearts.
Lu Luo smiled at her, turned around and walked out.
She was confronted by a man.
The man was dressed in a cyan coat. The face is delicate. Handsome and gentle. He looked hurried and stepped into this Buddha hall.
Unexpectedly, he almost bumped into Lu Luo. Slightly surprised, he took two steps back. After a pause, the men first stood sideways, waited for the landing to land and they went out first, and then stepped in again.
"Xuan Niang, you're running around again!" The man went in, nervously picked up the little girl, and complained.
Lu Luo heard the little girl's milk voice shouting: "Daddy"
Lu Luo and the others continued to walk forward, and then bumped into Fang Banniang again.
This time, Fang Banniang only had a personal maid by her side, and there were no Fang Jiuniang and Chen Qiniang.
Lu Luo's previous words made Chen Qiniang anxious and depressed, and she didn't want to go shopping anymore; And Fang Jiuniang walked a few steps and was about to cry again, Banniang was unwilling to take her, so she left everyone away and led the maid around by herself.
"My mother and aunt, going to the temple today to eat fast is secondary, and taking the sixth sister to show the old lady of Guangdehou is the most important thing. The eldest aunt wants to marry the sixth sister to Chen Rongfeng as a stepfamily, which is the twelfth lang of the Chen family. Fang Banniang and Lu Luo walked together, and she told Lu Luo the purpose of the Fang family's entry into the temple today.
Fang Banniang is the concubine of the third room, and the sixth sister in her mouth is the concubine of the long house, who is twenty-four this year.
The six girls of the Fang family were fine when they were young, but when they reached the age of fourteen or fifteen, they suddenly became frail and sickly, and they had to stay in bed for a few days from time to time, and they slowly lost weight.
Fourteen or fifteen years old, it is the age when the girl's family says goodbye, because Fang Liuniang is seriously ill, her marriage is delayed; In the next two years, her health became worse and worse, almost skinny and bone-like, without half a tael of flesh on her body, and she became more and more unable to see people.
The Fang family is preparing for her to die at any time, but they just take care of her wholeheartedly, ask for medical medicine, where can the family take care of it? Besides, who can look at the appearance of Liuniang above?
Fang Liuniang dragged on for five or six years like this. When she was twenty years old, for some reason, she was suddenly able to eat and sleep soundly, and her body was getting better day by day.
After only half a year, Fang Liuniang was cured.
After healing, his body gradually healed, and now he has plump skin and rosy cheeks, and he can't see his former illness at all.
The decent and neat girl's family, although she is a concubine, she can't die of old age at the door of life, so the old lady of the Fang family spoke and asked the eldest lady to find a proper family affair for Liuniang.
First of all, the family should be good, at least if it is a noble family; Secondly, the man's appearance and character should be good.
That's the dilemma.
The sixth mother of the Fang family is in her early twenties, and the children of a noble son of the same age as her can run all over the ground; Slightly worse, the old lady was not happy.
I have been selected for two or three years, but there is still no result.
Not long ago, relatives pulled the strings and wanted to tell Fang Liuniang to Chen Rongfeng, the twelfth lang of Guangdehou Mansion, as his step-room.
Chen Rongfeng is the son-in-law of the Guangdehou Mansion, who was admitted to the Jinshi at the age of seventeen, and then chose Hanlin, who is twenty-eight years old this year, and is in the household department as the fifth rank of Langzhong.
He has been widowed for five years, has a seven-year-old daughter, is elegant and square, and a young talent, and is a rare candidate. Not to mention the concubine, even the dignified concubine, Chen Rongfeng is worthy of it.
However, Fang Liuniang is the concubine of the Ministry of Shangshu, which is very sufficient, and ordinary girls can't compare.
"Did you like it?" Lu Luo asked.
Today, the old lady of the Guangdehou Mansion came to see Fang Liuniang.
Chen Rongfeng is the youngest son born to the old lady herself, and she is more loved than others.
Chen Rongfeng is a twin son, and he also has a twin brother, but unfortunately he has been missing for ten years, and this matter is regarded as a rare thing in the capital, and it is still discussed.
"Who knows?" Fang Banniang said with a smile, "I hope I can take a fancy to it, the sixth sister is twenty-four years old, and if she doesn't go out again, she won't even have the opportunity to have this kind of steproom in the future." β
"What about your family, have you taken a fancy to that man?" Lu Fu interjected.
She wanted to ask the Fang family if the Chen family finally had the twelfth Lang Chen Rongfeng.
If the man is not good, wouldn't he have ruined the girl?
"Where can you not look at it? Chen Rongfeng is well-known for his graceful, handsome, and talented, not to mention the sixth sister, even with Jiuniang, it is more than enough. The eldest aunt saw Chen Rongfeng, and when I looked at her, I regretted it and wanted to give Jiuniang to the Guangdehou Mansion. Fang Banniang teased.
Fang Shangshu's concubine is impossible to be reduced to a stepfamily, Fang Banniang is just a joke.
This also shows that Chen Rongfeng is a very good person.
Lu Luo remembered the man and the little girl he had just met in that small Buddha hall.
Is that Chen Rongfeng's father and daughter?
