Chapter 25 Eight Characters
The Danpi Flower Club is an opportunity for the Rong family to make friends with local squires and wealthy families, and to contact county and township government officials. This year is the same, with a lot of leading people invited.
As soon as the carriage and horses of the Rong family's daughters arrived, they became lively in the flower-viewing shed built at the foot of the mountain.
Mrs. Cheng got out of the car and gave Mama Qu a look. Mama Qu understood, and walked straight towards the stone steps on the mountain.
Luo Yan looked up at Qixia Mountain, halfway up the mountainside was the Rong family's cloud needle tribute tea, and the tea trees were hidden in the clouds. At the bottom of the mountain is the danpi flower. It is in full bloom, pink, white, and the mountains are blooming, as far as the eye can see.
Luo Yan really likes danpi flowers, although the flowers are not as gorgeous as peonies, they are beautiful and clear in the mountains and wilderness. There is also a danpi that can be used as medicine, which is a rare treasure that can be appreciated and eaten in flowers.
Luo Chan got out of the car, and Meng Lingmei and Li Miaoyun passed in front of her. Although the two had washed their faces and combed their hair in a bun, they had not changed their clothes, which made them look wolfish.
Luo Chan covered her mouth and smiled, she had never been in such a good mood.
Seeing Mama Qu going up the mountain, Fu'er whispered to Luo Yan in confusion. Luo Yan pointed to the top of the mountain, and then saw a temple hidden in the clouds. The white walls and green tiles have a feeling of being out of reach.
"That's Qixia Temple, enshrined by the Rong family, I heard that there are high monks in the temple who participate in Zen." Cheng Fangying also happened to watch Mama Qu climb the stairs.
Luo Yan looked at Qixia Temple, confused. What will the monk do this time?
The group was led by Mrs. Cheng and greeted the leaders from all walks of life who came to watch the flowers. After all, Zhu Xingru is a government lady, and she is used to seeing the scene, but she is not restrained. Luo Chan didn't take this kind of scene to heart.
After the complicated etiquette, the women acted separately, and they all peeked at Rong Jue.
Rong Jue intentionally or unintentionally, a pair of eyes are always fixed on Luo Yan who is wandering among the flowers. And Luo Yan only stared at the little bee in the heart of the flower......
Zhu Xingru felt jealous and coughed, Rong Jue's gaze drifted to her without leaving a second, and then stuck to Luo Yan......
The flowers will turn over, and the excitement will eventually fall like fireworks. The carriage and horses of the Rong family's daughters rushed back to the Rong Mansion at sunset.
Sixty miles back and forth, Luo Yan felt that the bones were about to fall apart. Stretch a long lazy waist, and go to the Qingju while beating his arms, how can he care about his demeanor and image.
Rong Jue stared at her back and was fascinated, it was the first time that such a woman with a real temperament who didn't take him in his eyes saw it, which was very much in line with his heart. Unconsciously, sparks ignited in the star's eyes.
Zhu Xingru deliberately slowed down and fell on the last one. Passing by Rong Jue's side, a pair of bubble eyes hooked Rong Jue, but Rong Jue didn't look at her.
She twisted her body a little angrily, and was held by Qingluan, slowly hiding among the flowers and trees. In the morning, because of Mrs. Cheng's pride in the same car, Rong Jue couldn't look down on her at all. The more I thought about it, the more annoyed I became, I raised my hand and twisted Qingluan's arm, Qingluan didn't take any precautions, and screamed "ouch" in pain.
"What's it called? Dress so swaggeringly to whom! ”
Qingluan was speechless, and tears appeared in her eyes aggrievedly. When she went out in the morning, Zhu Xingru deliberately took an apricot cloak for her to wear. She knew that she wanted to use her posture to attract some Rong Jue's eyes. This time he was angry with her, but it was because Rong Jue didn't look at her.
Luo Yan said goodbye to Luo Chan at the gate of Cuiyuan, and just happened to look back and see this one, and she didn't feel funny. I secretly begged in my heart, which man marries this stinky temper, it is all unlucky!
The girls all went back to their rooms and rested with their hearts.
Mrs. Cheng couldn't rest.
"How?" She looked at Mama Qu with a tired face.
Mama Qu cleared her throat, "It's all here." As he spoke, he took out a piece of rattan paper.
On this day, I climbed up and down the more than 900 steps, and now I am forty years old, and my legs and feet are really unbearable.
Mrs. Cheng leaned in front of the lamp and looked carefully, twisting a knot between her eyebrows.
"It is indeed what Zen Master Huijie said."
"Madame, don't worry, this is indeed what Zen Master Huijie said, and the slave and maid recorded it word by word, don't dare to slack off."
Mrs. Cheng waved her hand to let her go down, and brought the rattan paper closer to look at it carefully. said to herself: "Luo Yan is really a concubine, but why is she not compatible with my Jue'er?" ”
"Madame, the eldest lady is here." The silver hairpin lifted the curtain and invited Mrs. Wu into the door.
Mrs. Cheng hurriedly collected the rattan paper and pressed it under the lacquer box of the dressing table, her face eased, and she got up and went to the outside banquet place.
Mrs. Wu was already sitting on the Taishi chair, and the blue on her face was darker. "How good is that? Chun Niang shouldn't be exiled by the tattoo! ”
"Sister is too worried, didn't you say it yesterday, Rui'er will go to Lin'an, the capital, to find Zhu Shilang of the Criminal Department, this matter should be suppressed."
Mrs. Wu's brows tightened into a Sichuan character, "Hey, they all complain that I am too arrogant and indulgent to her on weekdays, and she is still so willful when she arrives at her husband's house!" ”
"It's useless for my sister to say it, is it time to complain? You hurry up and back up the gift and let Rui'er send it to Zhu Shilang. I'll talk to the lord here and see if I can find someone to persuade the plaintiff to withdraw the complaint. ”
Mrs. Wu responded, but still asked uneasily, the Zhu family and the Rong family have no deep friendship, can you help with this?
Mrs. Cheng's thin lips pursed, and her face flashed with unhappiness, how could she ask someone to do something and rob a white man like this. After a pause, let's rest assured, Miss Zhu is a guest at the house. Zhu Shilang is Zhu Xingru's second uncle, Zhu Xingru's father and Rong Er's master have always been close, and this relationship can still be taken care of.
Mrs. Wu then stretched her eyebrows and walked out of Yonglu Garden with great gratitude.
She was right, Rong Chunniang was indeed pampered by her, and she didn't go back to her parents' house for the past two months, but she was a concubine who was calculating her husband. Li Muhai's new favorite aunt is pregnant and is about to give birth. Rong Chunniang secretly drugged the tonic soup, and one corpse and two lives.
Li Muhai grounded her and hurriedly sent someone to sue Aunt Wu. Who knew that the aunt's family was not a bully, and it was because of Li Muhai's family's money that she married her daughter to be a concubine, and now she was looking forward to giving birth to a boy and asking for more money, and suddenly said that the mother and son were dead, so she sued the official unrelentingly.
On the afternoon of the day before yesterday, Rong Chunniang was prosecuted and imprisoned. Li Muhai hurriedly sent someone to report the news, and he only arrived at the house yesterday. It was the letter that Rong Liu took into the opera garden.
Li Muhai also felt sad that his favorite concubine was gone, but his aunt's daughter and his cousin couldn't be ruined like this, not to mention that the Rong family was also one of his backers, and there were few official dealings between the imperial merchants. This is to protect Rong Chunniang.
Mrs. Cheng went back to the inner room and let the silver hairpin light a furnace of agarwood. After calming down, he took out rattan paper from under the lacquer box, and his eyes fell on Zhu Xingru's eight characters. It's a good fit, but I'm afraid Jue'er won't like it. She became irritable again, and called the silver hairpin to call the fourth master.
The silver hairpin went downstairs and bumped into the golden hairpin who hurried upstairs. "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Jin Hai had fine sweat floating on his forehead, "Oh no, the fourth master and Miss Luo Yan quarreled." ”
The silver hairpin hurriedly turned around and went upstairs with Jin Hai to report to Mrs. Cheng.
