Chapter 24, Pufu Temple, Matchmaker Zhang Shenghui
In the starry sky, an extremely faint figure gradually gathered, and finally revealed a beautiful face and a peerless demeanor.
Xu Changsheng smiled slightly, the country and the city!
She didn't expect this trip to be so easy and so rewarding, which made her more confident and interested in her next journey.
Abuse scum or something, in fact, is just her side business, she has lived in the mortal world with Han Jianniang for so long, and she has also developed a great interest in the life of mortals.
The only pity is that she has no substance, and she can't taste those delicious foods for herself.
Although it is definitely not as good as the fairy dew fairy flavor, it also has another taste.
Thinking about it like this, she couldn't wait to go to the next world.
Xu Changsheng thought about this, his figure gradually became thinner, and he disappeared again.
……
"Miss, Mrs. asked people to say, it's getting late today, just stay in the Pufu Temple in front for one night, and then leave tomorrow."
The carriage curtain was raised, and a delicate little maid about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a round face, big eyes, fair skin, and a double bun, lifted the curtain and came in excitedly.
Cui Yingying raised her head, only to see that her facial features were exquisite, her eyebrows were picturesque, her skin was like snow, her lips were not dotted and Zhu, and her eyebrows were not painted but green.
Cui Yingying did not develop a willful and domineering temperament because she was born beautiful, on the contrary, she was a very dignified and gentle person, and when she heard the words, she said: "Since this is the case, then follow my mother's orders!" ”
The matchmaker nodded happily, Cui Yingying smiled gently, and in a blink of an eye, there was sadness wrapped around her eyebrows.
Cui Yingying is seventeen years old this year, is the daughter of Cui Xiangguo of the previous dynasty, born with a beautiful appearance and moon appearance, and talent, and dignified character, she has been married to Zheng Dalang, the son of her mother Zheng's nephew Zheng Shangshu, who should have gotten married this year, but who knew that Cui Xiangguo died suddenly, which caught the two families off guard, and the marriage between Cui Yingying and Zheng Dalang had to be put aside.
Due to the recent political turmoil, the Zheng family thought about their family's orphans and widows, and they were afraid that it would be inappropriate to stay in the capital, so the family packed up the soft and helped Cui Xiangguo's coffin to return to their hometown.
Although the Cui family returned to their hometown to avoid trouble, these years are chaotic, there are rebels everywhere, and it is not suitable to go out, but Mrs. Cui and the Zheng family are very stubborn, and Cui Yingying's junior is not easy to say, just hope that this road can be safe, then she will be at ease.
Otherwise, she really didn't know what to do.
The Cui family quickly settled down in the Pufu Temple, originally thinking of leaving early the next morning, who knew that before leaving, they heard the news and learned that there were rebels or bandits on the official road from time to time, and it was really unsafe to travel at this time, not to mention that the Cui family was originally orphans and widows, so they didn't dare to travel at will, so they simply stayed in the Pufu Temple.
On this day, Cui Yingying was copying scriptures in her room, wanting to enshrine them in front of the Buddha, so that her father could be at peace, and her grandmother, mother and younger brother could be healthy. I heard that there is a big garden behind the temple, and there are a lot of exotic flowers and plants in it, so why don't we go and see it! ”
Cui Yingying withdrew her hand and said with a stern face: "Matchmaker, I know that you have a lively temperament and like to play, but now my father has only passed away for less than a few months, as a daughter, my father treated me like a jewel before his death, cherished me and pitied me, gave me brocade clothes and jade food, and taught me to read and write, understand etiquette, I only hate my father for not being filial piety during his lifetime, and now he has gone, it is only a short time, my heart is sad and it is too late, how can I ignore ethics, and run out to laugh and play with you at this time?" ”
The matchmaker turned white all of a sudden, and hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Miss, I was wrong!" ”
Cui Yingying is not a ruthless person, the matchmaker has been by her side for many years, and her affection is extraordinary, how can she really blame her?
immediately helped her up and said: "Matchmaker, I know that you have a lively temperament, if you restrain you, I am afraid that you will be suffocated." In this way, if you are bored and want to go out and have fun, then go ahead, but you must be careful not to cause trouble. ”
He gave her a handful of copper plates and told her to buy something delicious for herself.
The matchmaker burst into tears and laughed and walked away.
Cui Yingying looked at the delicate back of the matchmaker, shook her head and smiled, and went back to continue copying the scriptures, her twelve-year-old brother Huan Lang came to her to ask about her studies, and she put away the scriptures to explain the scriptures to her younger brother.
Her scriptures were taught by her father himself.
On the other side, the matchmaker quickly slipped out of the Pufu Temple with the copper plate given by Cui Yingying, and bought a lot of food at the stall at the foot of the Pufu Temple, including her favorite meat.
Because the Cui family has been keeping filial piety these days, the meals are very plain, and the matchmaker has not eaten meat for several months, which is really too painful for a carnivore like her.
When the matchmaker came out this time, she felt like a bird out of a cage, and she was very happy.
This joy, one did not pay attention to the collision with someone.
The matchmaker has always had a face in front of Cui Yingying, so don't look at her young age, she seems to be very talkative by smiling all day long, but in fact she is a little pepper with a spicy temperament!
The matchmaker was about to scold with her hands on her hips, but when she saw the young scholar who had just bumped into her, she bent over and said: "Fang is a little reckless, and I hope the lady will forgive me!" ”
When the matchmaker looked at it, she saw that although this young scholar was wearing an ordinary Confucian shirt, she knew that she was born poor, but this scholar was in a long figure, extremely handsome in appearance, and her demeanor was like jade.
The matchmaker's face turned red as soon as she brushed it, and she returned the salute shyly: "It's just an accident, the son doesn't need to be polite." ”
The young scholar smiled slightly, and the matchmaker only felt that the thousands of trees and pear blossoms in front of her were blooming, and she was dazzlingly beautiful, and she felt that she was about to faint.
The two of them talked to each other, and the matchmaker knew that the young scholar was called Zhang Sheng, although his family was poor, but he was not discouraged because of this, but he studied more and more diligently, and now he is full of poetry and books, just waiting for September to go to Beijing to catch the exam, once he won it.
Zhang Sheng also knew that the matchmaker was originally the maid next to Miss Cui's family who lived in the Pufu Temple, and she became more and more polite between words, the two traveled together, Zhang Sheng even made a poem, and the matchmaker followed Cui Yingying to study for two days, although he didn't understand what he meant, but he also felt that Zhang Sheng was really talented and extraordinary, and he admired him more and more in his heart, and then sneaked out for a few days to date Zhang Sheng.
And Cui Yingying only thought that she was playful, but she didn't know about it!
