The day before Qingming, it also rained heavily all day in the capital.

Perhaps because of the water situation in De'an, Du Yunluo looked at the water curtain under the eaves, and her mood was also a little heavy.

And the people in Beijing have heard some rumors about De'an.

The official road from De'an to the capital has been cleared a little, the carriage is still not working, and it can be passed by riding alone or on foot, and several officials from the household department have already set off.

The information in De'an City is unknown, and the people in Beijing are panicked, seeing the heavy rain pouring down, they are afraid that the capital will also suffer.

Fortunately, on the day of Qingming, although the capital was still cloudy, it did not rain.

It was extremely dark, Du Yunluo freshened up and changed clothes, and went to the ancestral hall with her parents.

Du Gongfu put on a straight face, got off the soft sedan chair, and waved his hand to the juniors who saluted.

Mrs. Xia didn't seem to have a good night's rest, and her whole person was not in good spirits, so Lanzhi held her tightly.

Miao stepped forward to greet him and said, "Old lady, the ground in the ancestral hall is dry, just put a mat, the ground outside is still wet, although we are not unwilling to endure hardships, but kneeling on this wet ground, I am afraid that it will damage the body, so the daughter-in-law thought, take a leather cushion to cushion." ”

Old Lady Xia bowed slightly.

She's not a dead talker.

The ground of the bluestone slab was already panicked, and it was just under the sun, and now it was so damp, if you really kneel for a quarter of an hour or two for a quarter of an hour, your knees will definitely not be able to eat.

She is an old woman, before the rain on weekdays, her feet are sore and painful, and it is not cost-effective to turn around and fall ill.

Miao breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly instructed the mother-in-law to fetch the leather mats.

According to the hour, Du Gongfu read the ancestor worship document in the ancestral hall.

Du Yunluo knelt outside the ancestral hall and glanced at the position beside him, the ground where Du Yunru knelt last year had been vacant.

This year, the place where her eldest sister worships her ancestors has changed.

And herself, if there is no accident, at this time next year, she will worship the ancestors of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and the place where she kneels is the ancestral hall of the Mu family, and she can outline the appearance of the ancestral hall when she closes her eyes.

The single eaves of the three-bay rest on the top of the mountain, enshrined the ancestors of the Mu family for several generations, the chastity archway given by the emperor in the first year of Shuntian was of course not built at this time, not as majestic and dignified as later.

It's just that when she thinks of the appearance of the ancestral hall, Du Yunluo still feels uncomfortable, she doesn't like it there from the bottom of her bones.

The ancestor worship ended in an orderly manner.

In the next few days, there was still no sun in the capital, but fortunately, although it rained a few times, it was not big, and it was still cloudy.

Such a humid and rainy weather also gave Du Yunluo an excuse to save Princess Yunhua from urging her to practice horse riding.

Du Yunluo took a letter from the county lord of Nanyan to her.

This seems to be the first time she has received a letter from the county lord of Nanyan, a thin piece of letterhead, written in two short strokes, saying that Cining Palace will take Mu Lianhui to the paddock together.

Du Yunluo raised her eyebrows, pinched the letter and pondered again and again.

The queen mother doesn't like Mu Lianhui anymore, but wants to appease the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and Du Yunluo, the wife of the prince who has not passed the door, with the queen mother's temperament, she will never add Mu Lianhui.

If she had made up her mind to let Mu Lianhui go with her from the beginning, she wouldn't have to mention it to Du Yunluo at all.

Here, I don't know who said a few more words.

It is estimated that it is not the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine is cautious by nature, and only the queen mother is the first to look forward, and no matter how partial she is to Mu Lianhui in her heart, she will not have such an idea at this time, otherwise, this is not to promote Mu Lianhui, but to make the queen mother dislike her even more.

Du Yunluo lit the letter paper on the oil lamp, and the flames burst out and burned out.

The next day, the edict of hunting in the paddock was sent down to all the prefectures, as the Nanyan County Governor told Du Yunluo, and Mu Lianhui's name was also among them.

The departure date was set for the ninth day of the fourth month.

Du Yunnuo came to look for her and said with a smile: "Fifth sister, have you learned to ride a horse?" ”

Du Yunluo glanced at her and said, "You still don't know me?" It's not even a three-legged cat, that is, it's pretending to be a pose. ”

was so straightforward, which made Du Yunnuo laugh, and said: "Then you must be more leisurely, let me tell you, the few who went this time are better than you." ”

Du Yunnuo took advantage of the east wind of the county lord of Anran, and had met with many noble girls in Beijing at the beginning, and he was not close, but he also got to know each other.

Most of the girls who went to the paddock to hunt were from Jiangmen, and horseback riding was not a problem.

"I'm the only one who is a beginner?" Du Yunluo asked.

Du Yunnuo pouted and smiled for a while: "There is another one." Huang Jie, the daughter of the hussar general Lord Huang, she can't ride a horse. ”

"Who?" Du Yunluo was quite surprised, "General Huang's daughter? ”

Seeing Du Yunnuo nodding, Du Yunnuo was a little incredulous.

In her impression, General Huang was brave and good at fighting, a stout man with strong martial arts, and she heard that a long knife danced vigorously, and even laughed three points higher than ordinary people.

General Huang has been riding horses all his life, and when he was old, he dared to ask for war to go to the frontier, and his daughter didn't know how to ride a horse.

"You haven't dealt with Huang Jie, this person, it's really ......" Du Yunnuo shrugged, "Painting a tiger is not an anti-dog." ”

According to Du Yunnuo, Huang Jie's temperament is completely different from that of her sisters.

General Huang's original wife passed away at an early age, leaving four children, and General Huang was a big man who didn't know how to take care of his children, so he married according to his parents' wishes.

The ancestor of Mrs. Filling in the house is a scholarly family, and her family is in the middle of the road, leaving a belly of scholarly sourness, and Huang Jie's mother is this wife.

At that time, General Huang was still a general, Huang Jie's mother liked to chant poetry and paint, and her opening and closing her mouth were all how the predecessors were saints, not only her own young Huang Jie, but even the daughter who was originally destined to stay, she asked them to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Huang Jie was raised by her mother, and when she was a child, she wanted to follow her brothers and sisters to ride horses, but she was brought back and reprimanded.

Mrs. Filling the House can't control the children of the original match, and slowly turns a blind eye to them, but she is more strict with Huang Jie, the biological one, and wants to prove that the girl under the influence of books is promising.

"The girls in Jiangmen love to throw pots and ride horses, she doesn't know how to play chess at all, but she is not proficient in playing chess with the scholarly girl's poetry, she is not proficient, she is not touched left and right, slowly, she speaks with a sour breath," Du Yunnuo came to Du Yunluo, "I came to look for you, not to say that she is right or wrong, but this person, sour and not lost, a few words make the people around you unhappy, you stay away from her at that time, so as not to make her tired." ”

Du Yunluo responded with a smile.

She knew that if she had left these things in the past, Du Yunnuo would not have come to sue her, let her suffer two losses in the hands of others, even if Du Yunnuo couldn't see it, it would be good to listen to a lively and happy life.

But now, Du Yunnuo's age situation is here, and he can no longer be willful.

If Du Yunluo loses someone outside, Du Yunnuo, as her sister, who will come to the Du family to say goodbye?

Even if it is for his own future, Du Yunnuo can't wait for Du Yunluo to have a long face outside the mansion every day.

The same surname is Du, they are each other's faces, no one can afford to lose it, no one can lose it. (To be continued.) )
