Rong Zheng heard her second aunt praise her, and smiled embarrassedly: "The pen is still a little immature." Grandma also said that my words were too weak. ”

Mrs. Shen was thoughtful and put the contents of the bag back again. He instructed Rong Zheng a few words before he left.

Rong Zheng personally sent her outside the courtyard gate.

"Madam, the matter of the fifth master, I'm afraid that the master still has to tell you. The priority is to convince the master. No matter what the old lady does, she is only a grandmother, and the affairs of her grandchildren are just a casual matter, and the decision is still in the hands of the master and his wife. ”

Mrs. Shen listened to what her companion said, and then she woke up like a dream, nodded and said, "That's the truth." For I was overwhelmed. ”

Mrs. Shen went back to her yard, and her husband Qi Xin was sitting on the kang reading a book.

"Is the old lady alright?"

"Okay, I said you drank some wine, and she asked me to tell you to rest."

Qi Xin said again: "Tomorrow, the old lady will take the sisters of the family to Puci Temple to offer incense." Don't let anything happen and be careful. ”

"I know it all, and it's not the first time I've gone out, so what else are you worried about."

Second Mrs. Shen suddenly remembered the words of the companion room in her mind, and waited until the couple were lying on the bed, and then said carefully to Qi Xin on the pillow: "Master, I think I should settle the matter of Brother Jun for him as soon as possible." ”

Qi Xin was a little puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "Do you have a suitable person?" ”

Mrs. Shen said: "Not yet, but if you want to choose, you should be able to choose the right one." ”

Qi Xin frowned and said, "What's the hurry?" He is still young, he has not yet reached the age of fifteen, and he has not even said that he is the fourth child in the third room, so does he still want to cross his brother? ”

Second Mrs. Shen nodded and said, "Master is right." It's just that you have to pay attention to this matter as soon as possible. After all, he is getting older every year, and if he has a reliable wife to help, it will be good for him in the future. ”

Qi Xin said: "Let's talk about this matter, I can't rush there at the moment, I think the first thing he needs to do is study." ”

Seeing that her husband was unwilling to talk about this matter, Mrs. Shen closed her mouth, thinking that this matter should be discussed in the long run. Mrs. Lu said that she was not in a hurry in the past two years, so she could slowly find a satisfactory girl to be her daughter-in-law. Anyway, she just can't look down on Rong Zheng.

The next day was February 19th, Rong Zheng accompanied his grandmother to breakfast, and the rest of the rooms also came one after another.

Old Madam Lu looked at a few granddaughters, her eyes stayed on Yun Huan's body, frowned and said, "Change your clothes again." ”

Rong Zheng noticed Yun Huan at this time, and saw her wearing a blue plain gown and a green onion skirt. Wearing a bun. The old man likes the little girl to dress up brightly, and Yun Huan's body is too plain.

Yun Huan blushed and retreated.

Old Madam Lu's eyes stayed on Rong Zheng's body, and saw that she was wearing a hanging bun, a dark silk jacket with rose pink, an apricot-red cotton skirt, and a small string of pearls, and nodded with satisfaction.

The third aunt was late.

When he came to him, he apologized and said, "Old lady, I'm late." ”

Old Madam Lu didn't like to wait for someone, her face sank, and she said, "Is there anything in the room?" ”

Mrs. Ren San smiled and said, "The master wants to wear that indigo flower robe when he goes out, and he can't find it for a while." But our lord is in a hurry. Well, I finally found it. ”

Old Mrs. Lu said: "There are maids waiting for the things in the room, why is there no one to pick them up?" If you want something, you just look for it, and you don't care where you put it. It seems that the maids are also lazy. ”

Mrs. Ren's face turned red and white for a while, and she said sneeringly: "My daughter-in-law will go back and teach them a good lesson." ”

Mrs. Lu saw that the time was almost up, and said that she was going to set off.

Mrs. Ren San and Yun Xian hurriedly stepped forward and carried Mrs. Lu out of the sedan chair.

Rong Zheng saw that Yun Huan hadn't come yet, so he couldn't help but be a little anxious.

Yun Xia saw Rong Zheng's anxious face, and stepped forward to smile with her: "Don't worry, the fifth sister is late, and there is also a maid to accompany her." Shall we take a car? ”

Rong Zheng smiled and said okay, but Mrs. Lu suddenly turned around and said, "Sister Zheng and I will sit in a sedan chair together." ”

Rong Zheng agreed.

Yun Xia pinched Rong Zheng's face and said, "It's still the old lady who feels the most sorry for you." ”

Here have been on the sedan car, on the car. Rong Zheng sat in the sedan chair with Mrs. Lu in a regular manner. The sedan chair used by Mrs. Lu is an eight-lift sedan chair, and it does not look very cramped to sit two people.

Old Madam Lu kept holding Rong Zheng's hand tightly and whispered to her: "Stay by my side obediently for a while, don't run around." There are many people on days like today, but I don't know that the more days like this, the more attention must be paid to them. Those kidnappers pick on children and young ladies who don't leave the boudoir. ”

Rong Zheng saw that his grandmother still treated her as a child, so he smiled and agreed: "Where grandma is, I will never take another step there." ”

Old Madam Lu nodded and smiled: "That's right." ”

Yun Huan changed his clothes again, combed a double snail again, and when he came out, he saw that the sedan car had already left. Immediately aggrieved, she began to cry, and the nurse in front of her comforted: "Don't cry, the clothes you just put on are stained with tears again, and the old lady is even more unhappy when she sees it." Let's hurry up, go fast, maybe we can keep up. ”

Yun Huan reluctantly got on a pannier chair. The accompanying maid was in the car behind.

Mrs. Lu walked in a sedan chair that didn't go too fast, and finally caught up after walking two miles.

So much so that when she arrived at Puci Temple, Mrs. Lu saw Yun Huan coming from behind, her expression was sad, she frowned slightly, and said nothing, so she was helped into the main hall by Mrs. Ren and Rong Zheng.

Mrs. Lu twisted incense and knelt down, very pious.

Rong Zheng followed behind Mrs. Ren and followed the cousins to learn from each other. Rong Zheng silently prayed in her heart that her official brother and Sister Qi were safe and smooth.

After the solemn visit to the two Bodhisattvas of Guanyin and Fuxian, Mrs. Lu immediately had a monk come to invite Mrs. Lu to enter the room to rest.

"I don't know which eminent monk is teaching the Dharma today?"

The Zhike monk smiled: "It's our Yuankong Master." ”

Old Madam Lu smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go listen to it later, this Yuankong Master is a high-ranking monk." I heard that his Dharma was easy to understand and interesting. ”

The monk Zhike made a few more jokes in front of him, and personally held fragrant tea and vegetarian snacks for Mrs. Lu. Then I went to arrange for Mrs. Lu to listen to the scriptures for a while.

Mrs. Lu said to Mrs. Rensan: "Their pickles here are well done, and we will buy two jars and go back in a while." The next steamed bun is good with porridge or something. ”

Mrs. Ren San smiled: "Yes, although we also make pickles in the kitchen, but the taste is a little worse, why don't you inquire about the secret recipe." ”

Old Madam Lu smiled and poked the forehead of the next third lady and said, "Even if there is a secret recipe, people will not sue you." ”

Rong Zheng laughed on the side, and said in his heart, these big temples near Bianliang are quite rich, in addition to the sesame oil and silver money donated by pilgrims, they also have their own land. Daxiangkokuji Temple used to be a royal temple, and it is even more prosperous, and there are several hectares of Terada alone. Terada is not taxed, and all income goes to the temple. Self-sufficiency is completely sufficient. Many temples also have their own industries, such as Kaibao Temple making its own incense, and Puci Temple's pickles and steamed buns are all famous. There are also some aunts who make their own needlework and sell them.
