Seventy-one: Uninvited
Early in the morning of the second day, Mama Xu waited for Song Chuyi to finish dressing, and urged her to drink the soup and go to Ningde Courtyard to ask for peace.
As soon as Song Chuyi finished saying a few words to the old lady, the eldest lady and the second lady came in the door.
Today, because she was going to Huangjue Temple for incense, the eldest lady got up early in the morning to prepare for going out, and there was a faint layer of dark blue under her eyes, and she looked very tired.
The second lady was in good spirits, her white face was full of red light, and there were two jasper earrings next to her ears, which made her face look like a silver basin.
Mrs. Song asked about the things she had prepared when she went out, so she nodded and said, "You went to the temple and asked Master Yuankong to take a look at it with a few girls." In addition, I also remember to add a sesame oil money for the aunts and grandmothers who got married. ”
The three girls who got married are all girls from the big house, and the eldest lady naturally smiled.
Mrs. Song thought about it and asked her again, "Is Brother Jue's daughter-in-law okay?" ”
Li's heart jumped suddenly, and he suddenly remembered that his daughter had told him that Li Qingzi was probably happy. If it was normal times, at the moment when Song Yi had already gone to work abroad, she suddenly felt that the news was a little harsh - recently, the old lady had been pinching her because of the problem of the heir
The eldest lady didn't look very happy, and shook her head with a hint of worry: "I don't know what's wrong with this child, I said that it was a little bad before I was so weak, and the doctor came to see that I was prescribed medicine and took it for a while, but I felt uncomfortable again these days."
Li Qingzi is her niece after all, if she is in the way of her heirs, she feels sorry for her son and feels a little guilty, and she has known that she will find a good child
Old Mrs. Song also sighed, and said half-loudly: "That is the case, don't ask her to go out this time, just lie down." Tomorrow, I'll find the imperial doctor of the Qianjin Branch to take a look. ”
In front of Song Chuyi, there were some things that the eldest lady didn't say much, so she reluctantly smiled and agreed.
Song Chumi and others also came to greet one after another.
Song Chubin has recently changed people around her, although she is much more dedicated than Mama Qiu and others before, and she also respects her a lot, but the fifth lady has disappeared in the past few days, and Mama Qiu and other people who used to serve her have also disappeared cleanly, she is very apprehensive in her heart, and she bows her head all the way and does not dare to answer.
This temperament is really unpleasant, and the old lady Song looked at her with heavy eyes, determined to urge the eldest lady to welcome the female officials invited from the palace into the mansion earlier to teach the rules.
Ready to stop, the eldest lady led them out, there had been a crazy horse before, the eldest lady specially ordered twelve family members to accompany her, and Song Jue also led four people to follow.
Huangjue Temple is in the eastern suburbs of the capital, and the Bofu carriage is out of the city for two hours before arriving.
The monk had already heard the news and greeted him, and respectfully welcomed the eldest lady and others into the temple.
The dignitaries and nobles in the capital have many actions to clear the temple whenever they go to incense, one is afraid that people will come and go and collide with the female dependents, and the other is also for the sake of safety. This time, Huangjue Temple also posted a notice as early as yesterday saying that the temple is closed today.
The eldest lady cleaned her hands and incense, and was about to ask the abbot when she had time to give a lecture, when she heard Jin Ling say that Song Jue had come in.
Song Jue's face was a little unsightly, he came in to see everyone, and went straight forward to say to the eldest lady: "The wife of the deputy commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is here with our in-laws. ”
Such a coincidence?!
Where is there such a coincidence in this world, the eldest lady's face became a little ugly, she knew that Song Chuyi's carriage had an accident on the road and was embarrassed by the deputy commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, at this moment she has always hated Mrs. Xiao also came to Huangjue Temple with the deputy commander's wife
Li glanced at Song Chuyi, and his gaze was a little uncertain.
Everyone has already arrived at the door, can they really pretend not to know? The eldest lady endured her anger, looked at the monk next to her with a look of embarrassment, then slowed down her face and smiled: "This is really a coincidence, although we cleaned the temple in advance, but the heart of the Buddha is not easy to stop, fortunately, they are all women, and it does not hinder anything." The masters are free to be. ”
The monk breathed a sigh of relief, nodded hurriedly, and turned around to go out to entertain.
After a while, there was news outside that Mrs. Xiao and the Fang clan had come to thank her, and the eldest lady had already prepared, so she called someone to welcome her in.
Mrs. Xiao had a smile on her face, and as soon as she entered the door, she greeted the eldest lady with the Li family, and then pulled the eldest lady to smile: "No wonder the magpie crowed when I went out today, it turned out that I actually ran into you with your in-laws." ”
He led the Fang clan forward to salute everyone: "This is the wife of the deputy commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, who came with me." ”
Fang Shi greeted the eldest lady, opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know if the sixth lady of the house is here today?" ”
Sure enough, the purpose was not pure, the eldest lady glanced at her, and smiled not very enthusiastically: "Mrs. Fang knows my little six?" ”
Mrs. Xiao looked at Fang Clan a little nervously, wanting to play a round: "Mrs. Fang said that she heard from the deputy commander yesterday that Miss Six of the Mansion encountered a crazy horse on the road, and she was a little worried. ”
The eldest lady glanced at her and nodded noncommittally: "Mrs. Fang has a heart, my little six is fine, but she was a little frightened." ”
In the end, I still didn't say that I came or didn't come.
Mrs. Xiao recognized Song Chuyi from the crowd at a glance, beckoned to her with a smile, and shouted by name: "Sixth Miss, come over and I'll take a look." ”
After she went back, she heard about how Song Chuyi made Xiao Siniang suffer a loss, but she always felt that it was because Song Chuyi had someone around Mrs. Song to serve her, and she didn't take her seriously.
She called it like this, and she was an elder again, Song Chuyi didn't hear it, and stepped forward with a smile to bless.
Fang's eyes quickly pulled her to his side, looked her up and down for a while, and then smiled: "Sure enough, you look like you have a clever energy, and the strange scene yesterday didn't scare you." When my lord came back, he praised him very much, saying that you are smarter than the boy in my family who has already entered the national prison. ”
The eldest lady endured it, but she couldn't bear it anymore, glanced at her and frowned, "What did Mrs. Fang say?" What's smart about her child's family? If it weren't for the guards of the family's house, I don't know what would have happened. Later, it was also thanks to the blessing of His Royal Highness that he was saved from an unwarranted disaster, what does it have to do with her? ”
For such a young girl, it would not be a good thing if the reputation of being wise and close to demons spread, and there would be more moths that could be involved.
Song Chuyi also lowered her head and was a little shy, looking like a frightened little rabbit: "Today, the eldest aunt specially brought me to the incense to suppress the frightened Mrs. Fang. ”
Fang's face froze with a smile, he looked at the eldest lady and then at Mrs. Xiao, and forced a smile to hit himself: "It's that I said it wrong, I just think that the sixth lady is so young and rare calm." (To be continued.) )
