Chapter 227: Up the Mountain

With that, Luo Li hugged a punch, turned over and got on his horse and left. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Xia Xue'er closed her gaze, nodded slightly at Cuizhu, she went with a comprehension, checked the car, and came back after a short time to report: "Miss, the type is no different from what we prepared!" ”

Xia Xue'er raised her eyebrows, and smiled in her heart, it seems that Mu Xuanlong came prepared!

Tomorrow's temple fair, will it be exciting?

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, six carriages were parked in front of the Marquis of Anguo's mansion, and the first three were the most gorgeous. Dozens of maids and grandmothers waited next to the car, Liu's, Li's, Shen's, Second Miss, Fourth Miss, Third Young Master and others have been waiting at the gate for a long time, Mrs. Xia carried the old lady out of the door, everyone was blessed, the old lady glanced at everyone, but only the figure of her granddaughter Xia Xue'er was missing, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was a little stiff.

"What, hasn't the third lady come out yet?"

Anyone can see the unhappiness in the old lady's heart, and also understand that she doesn't dare to blatantly sprinkle this tone on Xia Xue'er's mother and daughter, and no one wants to be cannon fodder, so she is silent.

It has been a rule for many years to burn incense and pray for blessings on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it has always been at this time to set off, and all the people who should have arrived have arrived, but Xia Xue'er has not arrived for a long time, which is really a bit unusual!

Xia Xue'er knew that her daughter was not a snooze, and she didn't do things slowly, but before she arrived at this time, something must have delayed her.

"It's cold outside, so mother should get in the car and sit in the car first."

The daughter-in-law opened her mouth with a smile, and the old lady was not easy to fight against her, although she was unhappy in her heart, she only snorted coldly, and was helped by Shuang'er into the carriage headed by her.

Listening to Yuxuan, Xia Xue'er got up early in the morning, and received Su Qi's flying pigeon transmission when she had breakfast. She and her brother have always exchanged letters, but since the Taoyuan parting, the two have been in contact more frequently, and a letter a day is the most basic.

Su Qi probably knew that she needed to go out today and was not in the house most of the time, so she deliberately mentioned the time of sending the letter to early in the morning.

She stopped her chopsticks halfway through breakfast, made Xianglan grind the ink, wrote a reply with a pen, rolled it up and stuffed it into a special small bamboo tube, and then released the carrier pigeon.

Su Qi said in the letter that the master would be able to get out of the customs before the fifteenth, which means that the marriage between the two can be finalized within the first month, and when she saw this news, she was naturally in a good mood!

It's not because she can't wait to get married, it's just that that person is not someone else but Su Qi, a lover she has already identified in her heart!

In addition, a wealthy girl is fifteen years old and still has not decided to marry, which is not a good thing in this dynasty after all, with Mu Xuanlong pressing, no one does not come to the door to propose marriage, but it also breeds conspiracy and trickery. Last year's Li Zongyang, this year's Zhang Xuan, I don't know who else will be after that, Su Qi is not a person from the temple, and he has no interests related to the royal family, so he doesn't need to worry so much, so he doesn't have to care about Mu Xuanlong, who was specially used as a shield before!

"Miss, the hour is almost up."

Xia Xue'er smiled at the corner of her mouth, and her whole person was sunny. Hearing Cuizhu's reminder, he raised his eyes and looked at the sky, the pigeon had already flown away, and then turned around and left the window.

After cleaning her hands in warm water soaked in rose petals, she took the towel offered by Dongmei and dried the water, and Yucuizhu dug up the emollient paste in the palm of her hand to warm it, and carefully applied it to her pair of jade hands.

Xia Xue'er's hands are like congealed skin, the fingers are slender and white like peeled shallots, the nails are oval, dyed with pale pink henna juice, and they are not at all like the hands of a sword-lifter! Who could have guessed that she was the heroine "Hong Yu" who swept the rivers and lakes back then?

As soon as she stepped out of the gate of the Hou Mansion, she saw the old lady being carried into the carriage by the maid, and the rest of the people turned around and came back to wait after seeing her get into the carriage, the third lady did not come, none of them could get on the carriage and wait, besides, Mrs. Xia was still standing here!

Xia Xue'er stepped forward and bowed to her mother, "Mother." ”

Mrs. Xia looked sideways and saw that it was her daughter who came, not only did she not blame her, but she reached out and touched her exposed hand, which was okay, not cold.

"Get in the car."

The two helped each other down the threshold, and the Liu family and the others saluted, although they were dissatisfied in their hearts, they didn't dare to show it on their faces.

Mrs. Xia took Mama Gui and the two personal maids in the second carriage, Xia Xue'er and Mei Lan Zhuju took the third carriage, and then the rest of the aunts also took their children into their respective carriages.

There is a Wanguo Temple outside the city, after seven dynasties, the incense is prosperous so far, standing still.

Wanguo Temple was built in the deep mountain full of aura, it was just a small hidden temple, but because the emperor of the previous dynasty believed in Buddhism, the historic Wanguo Temple became the first choice for believers, the founding emperor of the previous dynasty renamed it "Wanguo Temple", enjoyed the treatment of the national temple level, rewarded 10 million silver, opened the mountain to expand its scale, and conscripted labor, it took four years to build the road to the mountain and enter the temple, since then there are more people, and the incense is increasingly prosperous. Later, the dynasty changed, the previous dynasty collapsed, erasing many traces of the previous dynasty, but only this Wanguo Temple was left, and still retained its national temple treatment, even the emperor and concubines went out of the palace to pray for blessings, and they were also selected here.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there are not a few people who burn incense and pray for blessings in the Wanguo Temple, and there are many traders doing business on both sides of the road, as well as fortune-telling Taoists, and the road up the mountain, which was originally quite wide, has also become congested.

The carriage stopped and stopped, and the sound of selling and noisy people in her ears was endless, Xia Xue'er, who didn't like noisy, didn't show the slightest impatience today, thinking that it was because of the happy events in her heart.

At this time, it is already on the mountainside, the snow here is thicker than in the city, and the temperature is lower, but the cold winter still can't stop the joy of the new year.

The carriage is very spacious, and there is a charcoal basin in it, which is quite warm. The small teapot was warm on the charcoal fire, and the water in it was boiling, and the water was boiling and boiling, and the steam rose out, adding some warmth to the carriage.

Cuizhu took out a crystal clear cup from the drawer, boiled it with boiling water first, and then poured tea into it and handed it to Xia Xue'er. Xia Xue'er took the teacup and did not enjoy it, but held it in the palm of her hand.

This is the cup sent by Murong Zetao last year, knowing that she loves tea, I don't know where to find the tea set, a total of four cups, only small and exquisite, the jade cup body has no impurities, crystal clear!

After looking at it carefully for a long time, he took a sip of his senses, and then asked, "But it's coming?" ”

"It's been nearly an hour, and I guess it's almost there."

The maid replied.
