Chapter 3 People admit their feelings before they see them
Three years ago, due to the death of the mother of the three brothers of Zong Zhengjin, the eldest lady Zong Zhengnuo was robbed of his favor and retained, and the third old lady Zong Zhengjin Ding Wei returned to the old mansion of Yuyan Mansion, and the old lady Ren still couldn't remember that there was also Zong Zhengke's granddaughter.
It wasn't until today that Zong Zhengke's name was heard in the ears of Mrs. Ren again at this ** meeting in the Temple of Mercy and Grace, but in such an unforgettable way.
Although she couldn't remember the exact date, it seemed that it would be ten years before Zong Zhengke returned to the house. Coincidentally, in the near future, the old lady of Zongzheng will end his worries, and the second room of the Zongzheng government in Beijing is already planning for his new errand.
These things are a lot to say, but in fact, the old lady Ren can figure it out in an instant. When she finished kowtowing to the three Buddhas, she inserted the third pillar of precious incense into the incense burner in front of the Buddha with both hands, and her feelings had completely calmed down.
When she turned around, she saw a stunningly beautiful young woman standing up slowly with the help of her maidservant. Old lady Ren hurriedly kowtowed again to ask for peace: "The courtier, the politician of Yuyan Mansion, Ren, visited the princess of the county, and the princess of the county is blessed and healthy!" ”
Fang was caught off guard and saw people, and the old lady Ren forgot to avoid taboos for a while, but she looked at the appearance and dress of the princess of Yuyan County fiercely. In fact, she had seen this Princess Sun before, and naturally knew what the other party looked like - but she was the first beauty in Yuyan County, otherwise she would not have been married as a concubine by the king of Yuyan County.
What made Mrs. Ren envious was Princess Sun's dress, which was really luxurious. I saw that she was wrapped in a big red peacock pattern engraved silk cloud brocade daku, covered with apricot yellow entwined branches and peonies, inlaid with mink fur, and cloud shoulders. The tip of the shoe is slightly exposed under the big shoe, and the huge pearl at the top trembles slightly, faintly shining, not a tribute without such a color.
She wore a delicate bun of Chaoyunjin, wore a set of dizzying red gold head, shook her hair, and every piece of jewelry was inlaid with rubies as bright as pigeon's blood. On his wrist is a pair of red gold silk pigeon's blood ruby bracelets, and on his fingers is a ruby gold ring of the same color. The fierce red reflected her wrist more and more white, and it was really like a red plum reflecting snow, which made people unable to take their eyes off.
Princess Sun's appearance is like this, and she is dressed like this, standing there prettyly, she is really a fairy who has gone down to the earth. She was famous when she was still in the boudoir, and originally heard that the Sun family vowed to send her to the palace, but for some reason she later married the current saint's cousin, King Yuyan.
The female dependents of the land of Yuchuan County, except for the eldest princess of Qinghe and the princess of Yuchuan, are counted as noble. She treats people arrogantly and arrogantly, and she is very resentful. At this time, it was a critical moment for the old lady Zongzheng to re-plan her errand, and the old lady Ren never dared to offend her.
Who would have thought that Princess Sun, who has always been above the top, was also very kind to Mrs. Ren, and even condescended to signal Mrs. Ren to come forward and hold her. The old lady Ren was flattered, hurriedly took a few steps to catch up and took over the work of the maidservant, and carefully helped Her Royal Highness the princess, who was only two years older than her eldest granddaughter, to walk outside the Daxiong Treasure Palace.
Princess Sun smiled at Mrs. Ren and said, "You don't have to be so polite, Concubine Ben used to be friends with Sister Yu, and you are the elder of Concubine Ben." ”
Mrs. Ren bowed slightly, shook her head with a smile and said, "I can't help it, I can't do it!" No matter how thick-skinned a courtier is, she won't dare to act as your elder! You still remember the friendship with Sister Yu, if Sister Yu knows, she will be grateful. ”
A strange look flashed in Mingli Liubo's eyes, and Princess Sun asked again: "Your granddaughter who is in the nunnery to cultivate...... What's your name? ”
The nobles know about this?! The old lady Ren was heartbroken, and she didn't dare not answer, so she said respectfully: "Princess Lao asked, the name of this granddaughter of the courtier's is 'Ke'." ”
Princess Sun sighed lightly, glanced at the old lady Ren and smiled: "It is really a blessing for Miss Ke to be able to win the Great Venerable Buddha Kingdom to look at her differently!" ”
Old Lady Ren hurriedly said: "When it comes to great luck, who can match you in Manyuyan Mansion?" Princess, you are so uplifting! Don't dare to be, really don't dare to be! ”
chuckled twice, Princess Sun was quite satisfied with the old lady's acquaintance. Although her maiden family, the Sun family and the Zongzheng family, are both big families in Yuyan Mansion, the Zongzheng family moved in later, unlike the Sun family, which has been entrenched in Yuyan Mansion for hundreds of years, and the family heritage cannot be compared.
It's just that the old lady Zongzheng once served as the deputy envoy of the fourth product, and now the old lady of the Zongzheng family is a senior official in the capital, and the descendants of the three rooms of the Zongzheng family are also very good, so the Sun family does not dare to underestimate it.
But to say how deep the relationship between Princess Sun and Zong Zhengyu is, it is nonsense. They were also competitors in open and secret battles with each other, competing for talent and appearance, fighting for clothes and accessories, and there was nothing to fight. Of course, when it comes to today's status, Zong Zhengyu is no match for Princess Sun. So no matter how old the old lady is, she has to grovel to serve the little princess and rack her brains to say something nice.
………
……
Chen Sanjia stood in front of the Moon Gate in the garden, tiptoeing from time to time. She was ordered by the old lady Ren to find the clan doctor of the Zongzheng family to send it to the unfortunate people. After confirming that the child was only injured in a fall and was not in danger of life, she quickly sent someone to send them down the mountain and hurried over to recover his life.
But the old lady Ren said to Huan Qiurong, another big girl who served in front of her, that the old lady was invited away by the princess of Yuyan County after paying tribute to the third pillar of Fa Xiang, and she has not come back yet.
Chen Sanjia is the daughter-in-law of Mama Li, one of Mrs. Ren's companions, thinking that while Mrs. Ren's other companion Cui Mama didn't follow, she might as well show her credit in front of the old lady, so she waited in the slightly cold wind.
After another quarter of an hour, Chen Sanjia saw Qiu Tang helping Mrs. Ren to come slowly. Old Lady Ren pressed almost her entire body on Qiu Tang, still panting, looking very tired. And Qiu Tang not only had to support Mrs. Ren with one hand, but also held a flat wooden box with the other. Her face was pale, and her steps seemed to be filled with lead.
Chen Sanjia hurriedly took three steps and made two steps, directly hugged the other side of Mrs. Ren, and asked repeatedly, "Old lady, what's wrong with you?" How do you get tired like this? ”
Old Lady Ren shook her head weakly, and didn't want to say a word.
Qiu Tang, who had been helped, easily gasped for breath, his face showed anger, and he lowered his voice and said: "I don't know where our family offended the princess of Yuyan County, and they rubbed our old lady like this." She is so young and young, but she supports an elderly man like the old lady for most of the hour. At the end, I rewarded the things in this box, saying that it was the flower of the new palace, and let the girls in the family wear it! Who is rare? I don't know if no one wants it......"
Old Lady Ren glared at Qiu Tang and scolded, "Don't shut up yet!" Let the princess of the county hear you talk about her and dislike her reward, and it is light to kill you! Turn around and tell your mother to know, I can't see your skin! "Qiu Tang is the youngest daughter of Mama Cui, the most useful confidant of Mrs. Ren.
Qiu Tang turned white with fright, hurriedly bit his lip, walked a few steps, and couldn't help but whisper: "Isn't the slave feeling sorry for you!" Look how tired you are! ”
Sighing tiredly, the old lady Ren said softly: "Who made the family a royal daughter-in-law now?" What we should suffer, we have to suffer honestly! ”
Chen Sanjia smiled and said: "Old lady, with the appearance and talent of our eldest girl and fifth girl, the future will definitely not be low." Perhaps, you will also have a noble grandson-in-law! Your best days are ahead! ”
Speaking of Sister Yu and Sister Yue, the old lady Ren immediately smiled. However, she immediately remembered the granddaughter of another sect politician, and she took back this smile.
Princess Sun embarrassed her, one of the reasons why she didn't get the third pillar of Fa Xiang was in her hands, and the second was that she was jealous that the Zongzheng family had a granddaughter who was favored by Venerable Su Hui? God knows that she doesn't want to see the sister Ke who has no feelings for each other at all.
However, this is not something she can change if she is unwilling. Not to mention the importance that the old lady attaches to Zong Zhengke, just say that the invitation of the eldest princess Qinghe and the princess Yuchuan, she can't ignore it. Thinking of this, Mrs. Ren only felt that her legs and feet were getting heavier and heavier, and she was almost dragged back to the small room of the Buddha where the Zongzheng family was staying.
From the first to the third day of the Lunar New Year, Venerable Su Hui from the Buddha Kingdom of the East China Sea will hold three pujas in a row. Mrs. Ren originally planned to come and go every day and not stay overnight at the Temple of Mercy and Grace, and she did not book the pilgrim house of the Temple of Grace at all. But just now, Master Huitong of Zhike Academy said that her good granddaughter Sister Ke'er not only asked for the third pillar of Fa Xiang for the Zongzheng family, but also understood her grandmother's old age and asked her for a good place to live in three rooms.
Look, before they saw anyone, they first accepted their great affection.
The room had long been properly tied, and a thick felt curtain had been hung on the door to keep out the wind. There is a net bottle Guanyin lotus sitting statue hanging on the wall facing the bright room, and there is a black lacquered Nanmu incense table against the wall, in the middle of the table is a fruit plate and a dim sum offering, and one left and one right are exactly the same gilded lotus pattern copper furnace, and the incense lit in the furnace is still smoking.
In the middle of the ground is a finely carved black lacquered Nanmu square table with the word "swastika", four black lacquered Nanmu "swastika" Zen chairs on the side of the table, and there are also six Zen chairs covered with royal blue cloud dragon holding longevity mattresses on the left and right. The two large interstitial screens are also of nanmu, one is carved with pine and cypress Meilan, and the other is carved with strange stones from the bamboo forest, separating the east and west two secondary rooms.
The east room was the living place of the old lady, a black lacquered nanmu bed was temporarily covered with the autumn fragrance color Tuanfu mattress used in the car, and the large pillow brought with it was placed, the blanket and the thin quilt were folded aside for backup, and the jade carved pit screen of the Huanghuali base of the lake and mountains was shielded from the wind. The carved lacquered pear wood sputum box was placed under the bed, and in the corner, a green-glazed incense burner had been lit with sandalwood, and smoke rose from the beast's mouth.
The west room is also cleaned up, and it is temporarily empty, whether it is for the girls to live or what, Mrs. Ren still has to think about it and decide. As for Zong Zhenglun and the family members of the nursing home, there will also be arrangements for coming to the Temple of Mercy and Grace.
