Chapter 18: Out of the House
Chapter 18 Out of the House
Xie Ke and Xie Yun looked happy, pulled their mother back to the courtyard to prepare, and said that they would meet at the gate of the mansion in half an hour. Back at Lancuixuan, the fourth grandmother Chu instructed Shui Qing to prepare for the trip, and at the same time sent Shui Zhu to return the matter to Xie Nian.
Mrs. Xie agreed, but Fourth Master Xie had no reason to allow it.
Filial piety comes first, and the decision of his own mother is that a son must not be disobedient. Xie Nian had the same mind as Old Madam Xie, but he was worried about Xie Ke's body. After all, it was so hot a few days ago that I lost almost half of my life. Xie Nian finally sent Cheng Shancai with him. The fourth grandmother, Chu Shi, knew that Xie Nian was worried about the safety of their mother and daughter, so she scolded Cheng Shancai to follow her, and she was happy in her heart.
Thinking of last night again, I couldn't suppress my blush.
I had to call Shui Qing loudly and tell this and that.
In fact, it is only half a day out, and the Great Fukuzawa Temple is not far from Xie's house, but it is just an hour's drive.
You don't have to pack too much.
But the Xie family is the leader of Jian'an, and the fourth grandmother, the Chu family, is the wife of the Xie family, and she will be the head of the Xie family in the future. In the future, the housewife will naturally pay a lot of attention to it.
It is a carriage and horse, in addition to Xie Ke's mother and daughter, Xie Yun's mother and daughter, there are three cars with them. For the sake of safety, the ladies of wealthy families will prepare more cars...... In order to make it impossible for others to see which car the female dependents are in, in case someone startles the noble ladies in the car. Naturally, this is what only people with prominent status will do, and it is not easy for ordinary people, let alone the rest of the car, to raise a horse. In Jian'an, there are only a few dozen families with cars and horses at home, and only three out of ten people have extra cars......
Like Xie's, there is such a pomp and circumstance in travel, and there will be no more than three in the entire Jian'an......
Xie Ke was led by the Chu family to stand at the gate of the courtyard, watching the driver slowly drive the carriage to the front, the two horses drove side by side, the whole body was dark, and the fur was shiny. The carriages are made of walnut wood throughout...... After being blanched by water milling, it has a hardwood luster. There is a brocade curtain hanging in front of the car, and the curtain is decorated with a palm-sized jade pendant.
A mother-in-law lay down next to the car, and Chu's reserved lotus feet were gently lifted, and he stepped on the back of the mother-in-law and got into the carriage. Then he turned around to look at Xie Ke......
Such a scene made Xie Ke a little in a trance......
In her memory, the last time she took a car like this was the last time she went to another hospital with her grandmother to escape the summer before she got married. At that time, she was still the daughter of the Xie family...... At that time, she was traveling, accompanied by her mother-in-law and maidservants, and more than a dozen people surrounded her. After the autumn of that year, her grandfather passed away, and in the last life, her grandfather loved her the most, and her grandfather didn't care for her, even if she was the daughter of Xie Fu, life became more and more difficult, plus what happened when she was twelve years old...... It's my grandmother, and I'm getting colder and colder to her.
At the age of eighteen, she still didn't see the Kwon family come to discuss the marriage date, and her grandmother was extremely disappointed in her.
Since then, she has never been called again during the New Year's holidays......
"Sister Bao, don't be afraid, take your mother's hand." Chu Shi saw that his daughter's little face was slightly pale, thinking that Xie Ke was too young to take a car, so he comforted him softly. Then, Xie Ke's body shook and he was already held in Cheng's arms. "Didn't my sister want to go to the big Fukuzawa Temple for a long time? Your father has sent someone to take care of it, and when you get there, there will be good food waiting for you. Cheng was amused as he put Xie Ke in the car. The Chu clan took Xie Ke into his arms, and then looked at the Cheng clan.
"You've got everything I ordered?"
Cheng replied softly. "Grandma don't worry, I've already taken care of it. When Grandma got there, she had her own little novice to take Grandma there...... Tread carefully...... I see Sister Bao'er has been ...... recently You don't have to go to ......" Cheng Shi wanted to say something, Chu Shi waved his hand and carried Xie Ke into the carriage, Cheng Shi stood by the car, his face always with a sad face.
"You wait in the house, grandma's sister will ......return before dinner," Cheng Shancai stepped forward and told his mother-in-law.
Cheng quickly suppressed the gloom on his face and responded with a smile.
"I've got it, you're careful all the way. Grandma and sister will be handed over to you......" Cheng Shancai nodded, and his legs lightly clamped the horse's belly.
Cheng looked at the carriage that was moving away, folded his hands, and begged God to bless the fourth grandmother with all the best on this trip. A few days ago, the fourth grandmother asked her to find a monk to show Sister Bao'er, but she was not shocked, and it was good to be surprised. It's just that the Xie family is a big family in Jian'an, and if you rashly invite a senior monk into the house, it will really provoke people's talk. The fourth grandmother is not good to say what is wrong with Sister Bao...... She discussed with the fourth grandmother for a long time, and then she thought of taking Sister Bao to Dazuze Temple in person. So he directly looked for the senior monk in the temple to look at Sister Bao'er...... If there is really something dirty pestering my sister, in the Dazuze Temple, I can't turn over any wind and waves, if it is just frightened by falling into the water, it will be shocked.
That's why there is today's Chu family's proposal.
There is a big sister with a big grandmother, and this trip is even more convenient.
Xie Ke's mother and daughter are riding in a spacious carriage, and there will be girls serving in the car on weekdays, Chu thought that his daughter had been speaking surprisingly recently, so he sent the girl out, only taking Xie Ke, and the mother and daughter sat in the car.
Chu sat in the car, Xie Ke leaned on his mother's arms, and with the ups and downs of the carriage, he only felt drowsy.
"Sister Bao, you tell your mother...... What have you dreamed about? ”
"I dreamed ...... I'm dead. Half-asleep and half-awake, Chu suddenly asked, and Xie Ke blurted out without thinking. After a few words, Xie Ke suddenly woke up, and saw his mother Chu Shi looking at her with a frightened face. "Sister Bao, don't scare your mother, don't scare your mother." Chu Shi was really frightened, she thought that Xie Ke was just frightened by falling into the water, so she had nightmares for days, but she didn't want Xie Ke to dream of such an unlucky thing.
"Sister Bao, you heard my mother say that no matter what you dreamed of, it was all fake...... The dream is the opposite, and this dream indicates that my sister Bao will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune...... Mother will take you to the Great Fukuzawa Temple today to pray for blessings. With the blessing of the Bodhisattva, Sister Bao will be fine, definitely. As the saying goes, you don't believe in ghosts and gods, but you can't disrespect ghosts and gods. Chu Shi hugged Xie Ke tightly, reciting Amitabha Buddha in his heart...... All the karma is borne by her, Sister Bao is still young, don't beset her with misfortune. Xie Ke nodded vigorously in Chu's arms, Chu's face softened a little, but he still grabbed Xie Ke's little hand and didn't let go.
Xie Ke leaned lightly on his mother's arms, regretting his carelessness.
How could he be easily asked the reason for the nightmare, but fortunately it was his mother who was more worried than suspicious. If it's someone else...... Xie Ke could even imagine the scene when she was treated like a monster and then everyone turned away......
