Niu Er's grandmother fell into the mountains on the way to incense, and the Zhenguo Mansion and the Dongping County Mansion did not know how many people were sent to look for it, but the mountains were high and the forests were dense, and the traces were difficult to find. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the inner houses of large families in Beijing rose suddenly. It must be known that the second grandmother Niu is fierce and unlucky, and has not left a sister-in-law; And the cow follows the adulthood and is rarely promising. The pit was empty, and I didn't know which one could plant the turnips.
The wives and grandmothers endured it for five or six days, and finally they couldn't bear it anymore, so some people went to the Zhenguo Mansion to meet Mrs. Niu and find out what they meant in the house. Mrs. Niu cried tears: "The size of the family, relatives and friends near and far, who doesn't know that my daughter-in-law is ten times stronger than my son." If there is a good one, it will not make people hurt to death. Before he could say a word, he wiped away his tears, and he didn't even mention what would happen if Muhammad was gone. The lady had to sit and sit comforted for a long time.
On the seventh day, although the two mansions were still searching, they secretly knew in their hearts that they would not be able to find it. Only Mu Xu's uncle, the old man Mu Xu, refused to relax, and said: "Even if you die, you have to have a bone, and even if the wolf takes it away, there must be blood!" No, I lost a big living person out of thin air! β
A soldier whispered beside him: "It's like looking for a needle in a haystack, and I'm afraid I'll starve to death even if I look for it." It's better to ask a high monk and a high way to divinate a hexagram, which piece has roughly fallen, let's find it. Mu Xu's ears were sharp, and when he heard it, he remembered Jia Cong - didn't he have a background? I can't say that I can pinch my fingers to calculate. Then he patted the horse and went to Rongguo's mansion.
When I arrived in Nafu, I learned that Jia Cong was busy with the school in Hanlin Academy every day, and only came back in the evening. Mu Xu stumbled, turned around and wanted to chase after Hanlin Academy. At this time, I heard someone shouting outside: "Third Master Cong is back!" "It was a great joy.
It turned out that Jia Cong didn't sleep well last night, and he dozed off in Hanlin Courtyard today, so he simply went home to sleep. Mu Xu hurried up to explain his intentions. Jia Cong was stunned for a long time: "Huh? I don't know divination! β
Mu Xu was anxious: "Aren't you Nezha in the lower realm?" How can you not divination? β
Jia Cong said: "Nezha's nether realm is rumored outside, do you always believe this?" Besides, Li Nezha was originally a heavenly general, when have you ever heard that Nezha knows divination? Even Taiyi Zhenren and Li Jing won't be able to do this......" Mu Xu's face suddenly darkened. Jia Cong said, "Instead of counting on me, it's better to put some search and rescue dogs with sharp noses." This ability is stronger than a human. Do you have one at home? If not, I'll lend you two good dogs. β
In fact, the Mu family has used dogs to search since the second day; Just hearing him say this, Mu Xu had no hope of doing anything, and said, "Okay! Borrow it for me to use. Jia Cong then ordered someone to fetch the dog trained by the Rongguo Mansion, and handed it over to Mu Xu together with the family member who trained the dog.
The dogs of Rongguo Mansion are not stronger than those of Dongping Palace. After three more days, there was no trace of Muhammad except for a fragment of clothing found on a branch of a bush near where he had fallen. The two governments discussed it for a while, but I am afraid that they will not be able to find it. Mu Xu said: "I hope she is just injured and let the mountain people save her." Then he sent people to post notices all over Xiangshan, and if anyone saw such a woman and sent it back to the Zhenguo Mansion or the Dongping Palace, there would be a heavy reward.
Although the dogs of Rongguofu didn't help, they were kind in the end. Mu Xu wanted to send it back in person, and thanked Jia Cong by the way. But a young man came to him on horseback and said he had something important. Mu Xu thought about it, and then ordered Niu Jicheng to go to Rongguo Mansion to return the dog. He had a one-sided relationship with Jia Cong, and he was Mu's husband, which is quite suitable for both feelings and reason. Niu Jicheng received the order.
Standing at the gate of Rongguo Mansion, Niu Jicheng had a lot of thoughts in his heart inexplicably. When he was young, he also came to Rongguo Mansion and met Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu. Because Jia Cong and Jia Huan were too lazy to come out to meet guests, he had never met Sanjia in this mansion. A disciple greeted him and respectfully asked the guest which family he was, Niu Jicheng got his name and surname, and said, "Find your third master." β
Menzi said: "The third master should also go down to the yamen at this point, and there is some reason for it today." β
Niu Jicheng thought about it, and since he came, it was better to see him. Then he ordered the family of the dog trainer in Rongguo Mansion to go back and wait at their house by himself. Someone led him to sit in the outer study. Niu Jicheng went to the study room to take a look, there was a plaque hanging outside "Qi Hail Zhai", and a pair of pairs was hung in the inner hall, which read: The classmate is in his prime, and the scholar is angry and scolds Fang Xuan. I couldn't help but praise: "Good union." "Take a closer look at the inscription: the clumsy apprentice Jia Cong's proposed couplet, Gusu Linhai's handwriting. Immediately, a little maid brought tea and snacks, and Niu Jicheng took a booklet on the case to take a look at it and kill the time. But I saw that the cover of the book read: The immigration policy of the Western countries. Immediately came the spirit, from the beginning of the closer look.
He was concentrating on reading, when he suddenly heard footsteps outside the door, thinking that Jia Cong was back, so he hurriedly put down his book and straightened his clothes. But seeing the dark green curtain of flowers, a woman in a goose-yellow dress was as dexterous as a civet cat and came in, smiling like a peach blossom in March. When he saw Niu Jicheng at first glance, he was stunned, then gasped, covered his face with his sleeve and turned around and ran. Although it was only for a moment, because of this woman's beautiful appearance and delicate posture, Rao is Niu Jicheng has also seen many beauties, but he has never seen her appearance; couldn't help but reminisce again and again, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, secretly guessing her identity in her heart. Although he didn't recognize the clothes, Niu Jicheng could see that the woman was wearing a good silk. And the flower on her head and the jade pendant on her waist must be a young lady. The girls of Rongguo Mansion all went to the south, who was the guest?
After a while, a little girl from Rongguo Mansion came in to add tea, and Niu Jicheng said pretendedly: "I heard a woman's laughter outside, and someone called Miss." Don't you have a young lady in your house? Could it be that you're back from the south? β
The little girl said, "Not really." β
Niu Jicheng tilted his head: "Weird." Well, I'm afraid I misheard. β
The little girl thought for a while and said, "There are two girls from relatives in our house, and they won't go out to reason." β
Niu Jicheng said: "I'm afraid that their maids will come out to do something." β
"Yes." The little girl smiled, "The two girls are both knowledgeable, and they can read and write, so it is common for them to send people to borrow books from outside to go back." Xu heard people say that there were outsiders in Qifeizhai and did not dare to come in. Niu Jicheng nodded slightly and took two sips of tea.
When she withdrew, Niu Jicheng called his little servant to come in and asked, "Have you been outside just now?" β
The little guy said: "I only went to relieve it once." Niu Jicheng couldn't help but laugh. Nai whispered to him to find out what relatives lived in Rongguo's mansion and what her temperament was, and she covered her mouth and coughed. The little guy winked and giggled twice, and took the order.
After a while, the little maid came in and replied, "Master, there are two girls from outside this house. One is the daughter of a sea merchant in the south, surnamed Chen, who is the daughter-in-law of their third master, who has a steady temperament and does not smile. This trip followed the third master Cong to the capital, in order to worship the ancestral hall and meet relatives and friends. The other is the daughter of Lord Liu, the prefect of Huizhou, and I don't know what kind of relatives they can't fight in their house. This Miss Liu was originally a lively person, but her life was hard. β
Niu Jicheng asked, "What kind of life is a bitter method?" β
The little guy sighed: "It was said that he had promised a good family in Lingnan, and he saw that he was about to get married, but the man died of illness." This Miss Liu's son is an old Confucian, and the rules at home are extremely strict, and she was ordered to guard the door for a whole year. It's easy to get filial piety in the old years, and I wanted to find a family again, but there were rumors on the street that she was hard and killed her fiancΓ©. I was depressed and came to the north to relax. The thief smiled sheepishly, "In terms of appearance, I heard that this Miss Liu is the most rare." They all compared Miss Chen to a bamboo that can't bloom, but Miss Liu is a shelf full of fragrant red roses. β
Niu Jicheng scolded with a smile: "The guests also talk about it, and it is also naughty." I secretly understood which woman she was.
For a while, Jia Cong went down to the yamen to meet in the study, looked at Niu Jicheng and sighed: "I met Brother Niu last time and told some stories in the backyard, I don't want Mrs. Zun to be gone." β
Niu Jicheng remembered that Mu Shiping was considerate and thoughtful, and suddenly burst into tears: "I was counting on growing old with her......
Jia Cong sighed again: "There is no fate, and you can't force it." Nai comforted him a little, and later shed a few tears.
Niu Jicheng said goodbye and returned to Zhenguo Mansion, first went to see his father Master Niu, talked about today's events, and finally asked: "Are there any relatives between Rongguo Mansion and Huizhou Prefect?" β
Master Niu thought for a long time: "Liu Yanyuan, the prefect of Huizhou, was the prefect of Zhuzhou. After the world was divided, Prince Teng, the governor of Liangguang, asked the court to transfer him. The two of them are brothers-in-law, and Liu Yan's wife is the sister-in-law of Wang Ziteng's wife. Ben has nothing to do with Rongguo Mansion, and can barely be regarded as a relative of the Eighth Road. Niu Jicheng was clear.
Nai went inside to see his mother, Mrs. Niu, and the mother and son wept for a long time. Niu Jicheng knew that his mother was strict about the rules, and he didn't dare to mention that he had seen the woman's true face, so he only secretly said that he heard a little girl say something "miss" in Rongguo's mansion, and he was curious about where the young lady came from in their house, so he ordered someone to inquire.
Mrs. Niu's heart moved, and she glanced at her son with a smile. She thought that she was afraid that her son heard about Miss Liu's identity and appearance and became thoughtful. This kid used to be like a piece of wood, how could he have opened his mind? Nai took his hand and said, "Good boy, I understand your thoughts. Niu Jicheng blushed suddenly.
After her son left, Mrs. Niu sat in front of the desk with a teacup and thought: This Miss Liu has several benefits. One is that he is related to Prince Teng of Liangguang, that is, he has made a detour to involve a string of families including Rongguo Mansion, and he is too far away from the most eye-catching Rongguo Mansion. Second, over the years, Liangguang has been rich, and Liu Yan, the prefect of Huizhou, does not have to guess and knows that he must be a rich man. Third, relying on Wang Ziteng, their family's status in the south must be extremely high, and they are willing to let her watch over the widow. It shows that Liu Yan's words about etiquette and the little maid who found out about their family's "heavy rules" are not false. Fourth, everything is good, but the temperament is too stuffy, and the young daughter-in-law is lifeless. Miss Liu has a lively temperament, and she must be even more loved. Besides, her status is neither high nor low, even if she hires Cheng'er as a continuation, Dongping Wangfu has nothing to say. If my mother's family is not in the capital, I am more obedient. I just don't know if she's really hard.
After thinking about it for two days, I couldn't think of a way to get Miss Liu's birthday, and Mrs. Niu suddenly had a flash in her heart: their whole family is in the south, why should they send her to Beijing in a dignified manner? Isn't it because he delayed his age and wanted to come to Beijing to seek a match? If so, I'm afraid that her eight characters are not difficult to find. So he sent someone to hide his name and ask the official media for questioning. Reasoning says that a woman's eight characters can't be seen if she doesn't talk about marriage, but things in the world have never been "rich can make ghosts grind". However, after two or three days, the official media sent a message back.
Mrs. Niu ordered to quietly send this eight characters to the famous gentleman to calculate whether the fate is hard or not, and the gentleman said: "The life of great blessing." It's just that her man must have great luck, otherwise he can't stand it. Mrs. Niu was overjoyed, thinking that the fiancΓ© in front of her was a daughter-in-law who was blessed and couldn't stand the great blessing. I didn't feel at ease, so I asked a few more fortune tellers to calculate a few times, and they all said that they were blessed. and take Niu Jicheng's eight characters together, the two are very similar. Mrs. Niu secretly favored this Miss Liu in her heart.
So he ordered his married daughter to inquire about the second grandmother of Rongguo Mansion if she had anything to do to enjoy flowers and watch the drama recently. She thought that if the Liu family had the heart to marry their daughter in Beijing, they would have to entrust Bao Er's grandmother to take her around. Aunt Niu came to the house in person, saying that Grandma Bao Er of Rongguo Mansion had recently obtained a kind of seafood, called "cocoa tea", and wanted to take that banquet to all the wives and grandmothers in Beijing.
Mrs. Niu hurriedly asked, "Can you go?" β
Her daughter said, "I've got the post." It's just that my brother and daughter-in-law are just gone, where can I go to the banquet? β
Mrs. Niu waved her hand again and again: "You have left the cabinet, where can you take care of this?" It's irrelevant. Then she took her daughter's hand and whispered her brother's thoughts and what she had found out these days.
Aunt Niu frowned slightly: "My brother and daughter-in-law have just gone, so why don't you worry about the woman next to you." β
Mrs. Niu sighed: "Mu is really a rare good daughter-in-law in the world, and it was a blessing for your brother to be able to get her to come." However, the two of them have no fate. On the same day, I warned her that the mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk, and it was on the high part of Xiangshan, so it was better to wait for the road to be repaired. She only refused to listen, and she could not complain to anyone. Our family has been looking for her for more than ten days, and everything that should be done has been done. Your brother always has to continue the strings, doesn't he? It's just rare that this Miss Liu's characters, doors, furniture, and appearance are all suitable. Aunt Niu was still not very happy in her heart, and she didn't dare to disobey her mother's order, so she had to comply.
Two days later, Shi Xiangyun entertained the ladies of Beijing in Jiyue Garden, and even the county lord of Yanwang's mansion invited one to come. She also has a girl surnamed Liu by her side, who is bright and moving, and has a dignified and polite manners. When Aunt Niu saw this woman, she guessed that her brother must have seen someone. Otherwise, how could he have remembered just a few words from the people? This Miss Liu is also worthy of the word "rose".
She is not only the daughter of an important official in the south, but also has such a appearance, the rules of advance and retreat are excellent, and she is dressed in wealth and wealth, so naturally there are few wives and grandmothers to talk around and inquire about her age and temperament. Aunt Niu also found a time to talk to her, and sure enough, she was a four-cornered person. By the way, she helped her brother to come up with the name of this Miss Liu: her original name was Yunxi.
