73 Restlessness and prayer
On this day, the autumn air is crisp, and the sky is as light as a feather as if it has been washed with water. The wisps of autumn wind blowing up the branches and leaves of the green bamboos, sending a trace of cold sweetness.
In the afternoon, the sun was particularly warm, and on the swings in the courtyard sat a woman wearing a short shirt with a blue printed floral shirt and an azure skirt, her crow hair braided into a coarse twist and rolled down her shoulders. She has a beautiful complexion, like an ordinary Zhong Lingyuxiu who walked out of a landscape painting, but the obvious absent-mindedness at the moment makes her look like a doll.
Standing a few steps away, Zi Nu and Qing Li looked at each other, especially Qing Li, rubbing his chin with his right hand, and asked puzzledly, "Zi Nu, what's wrong with the girl?" Since returning from Xie Guogong's birthday banquet three days ago, he has often been in a trance? ”
Zi Wei shook her head, although she accompanied the girl to participate, but she was fine before, if it was strange, it was only after she came out of the sycamore forest that there were some signs. What happened in the meantime?
"The swing that the third son tied for the girl didn't work, the first two days were better, and today I can sit on the swing in a daze, is it uncomfortable? Do you want to go to Miss Du and let her take a look? Qingli is a little worried, the girl who was restless in the past is now so well-behaved, which is really abnormal.
"You look at the girl's appearance, don't you look like the girl who hurt the lovesickness in the book?" Zi Wei observed for a long time, and felt more and more like it, and suddenly felt that the words he used for entertainment on weekdays were still somewhat useful.
"No, it won't!" Qingli covered her mouth, full of surprise, and pointed at Xiao Zhisu on the swing in disbelief, "People like girls can also get lovesickness?" ”
Zi Wei glanced at Qingli, pressed her outstretched hand back, and looked old, "What's impossible, our girl has also reached this age." ”
The two of them are discussing happily here, and Xiao Zhisu is still in a fugue over there. My mind was filled with ambiguous scenes that popped up inadvertently, and the sound was endless. In the end, it became the name shouted by the gentle man at the wedding banquet in his previous life.
Xiao Zhisu held her head and shook her head desperately, trying to shake off the voice lingering in her head, the life-urging charm like honey made her have a splitting headache.
Cold, Xiao Zhisu fell off the swing because of her unstable center of gravity, and plopped, although it was very loud, it also pulled back her thoughts in time, and her little face was wrinkled, obviously very uncomfortable.
"Girl, what's wrong?" Zi Yu and Qingli watched Xiao Zhisu fall off the swing, and after being stunned for a moment, they immediately ran to her side, and helped her up from left to right, "It's okay." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just not careful." Xiao Zhisu bared her teeth and waved her hand to indicate that she was fine, this fall was really real, but she was a lot more sober.
Qingli helped her, and Zi Wei bent down to brush the dust off her skirt, and when she saw that it was almost over, she clapped her hands and said, "Girl, let's go back to the house." ”
"Okay." Xiao Zhisu nodded, and was supported by the two of them to prepare to go back to the house. But before she could walk a few steps, she saw the maid coming in from outside the courtyard, and she recognized that this was the brocade color in the grandmother's courtyard.
Jin Se looked at them, and then saluted in a regular manner, "Nine girls, the old lady ordered the slave maid to send a message to the girl, the house has been restless recently, and there are ghosts and monsters, so I will go to the Huguo Temple early tomorrow morning to pray for incense." ”
Gokokuji Temple! Xiao Zhisu's face turned pale when she heard this name, and both Zi Nu and Qing Li, who were holding her, could feel her trembling slightly, and they all looked at her in unison.
"Nine girls, you, are you alright?" Jin Se asked suspiciously.
"It's okay, I know, please tell my grandmother, Jiu'er will be waiting outside the house tomorrow morning." Xiao Zhi looked good at her face and said leisurely.
Zi Yu sent the brocade out of the Su Pavilion, and Qingli carried Xiao Zhisu back to the room.
Xiao Zhisu rubbed her ass and said, "Qingli, you call Zhuohua." ”
Qingli led the order to go out, but after a while, Zhuohua came, "Girl, what are you looking for me?" ”
"Zhuohua, you go to inquire, go to Huguo Temple tomorrow to pray for blessings, will the eldest prince and the third prince go together?" Xiao Zhisu was a little uneasy in her heart, according to the memory of the previous life, her grandmother and aunt would go early, so tomorrow should be only herself and Xiao Zhiyan's sister and brother. So she had to be sure.
Zhuohua stood still, looked at her in some surprise, and said suspiciously, "Girl, you forgot that the third prince came to tell you yesterday that he took the little white young master out of the city to collect the debt." As for the eldest prince, even if he goes, it will be in the early dynasty. ”
"You call me this memory." Xiao Zhisu patted her head with great disgust, she was afraid that Xiaobai would be in danger if he stayed in the house, and he died in his previous life, so just in time for the third brother to collect the debt, he took Xiaobai out to avoid the limelight.
"The girl has been in her soul for the past few days." Zhuohua covered her lips and smiled.
Xiao Zhisu didn't have time to think, so she listened to the maid outside report that Aunt Xue was coming, she sighed faintly, and got up to greet her, "Auntie, why are you here?" ”
Xue Shiyan glanced up and down at Xiao Zhisu without a trace, hooked her lips and smiled, "Gang Niang sent news that she would go to Huguo Temple early tomorrow morning to pray for blessings, do you know about this matter?" ”
"Got it, the messenger hasn't been gone long ago."
"It's good to know, early tomorrow morning, my mother and sister-in-law and I will go to the temple to arrange accommodation, Susu, as my sister, will take Yan'er and Ah Jing to go at that time."
"Jiu'er understands that I will definitely arrive safely with Yanmei and Brother Jing." Xiao Zhisu deliberately accentuated the word safety, wanting to see something different from Xue Shiyan's face, but unfortunately, she had no other emotions except for her elegant smile.
"There is no month to be Yan'er's birthday, this time I am also worried about being a mother, Su Su has experience, but I have to help Yan'er more."
Xiao Zhi Suwan'er didn't agree or refuse, but just pushed things back with a thousand pounds, "I, as a sister, will definitely help if I can help, but Jiu'er has just returned to Jiankang, and many things are not clear, but I am afraid that I will not be able to do enough." But since Yanmei is so loved by His Royal Highness King Jing, what do you need to worry about with the help of the princess and her aunt? ”
Su Su has a point. Tomorrow I will go to Huguo Temple to ask for a peace charm for you to keep your house peaceful. Xue Shiyan's smile deepened, and she reached out to support the step on the sideburns.
Xiao Zhisu also smiled brightly, met Xue Shiyan's gaze, and said as if unintentionally, "Yes, only when the house is safe can we have a good life." Auntie, Jiu'er is a little tired, so I won't send my aunt. ”
"Na Su Su has a good rest. Oh, by the way, the daughter of the patriarch will come to Jiankang in some time, and she will prepare to leave the pavilion in our mansion. It's just that at that time, I happened to meet Yan'er's courtesy, but I'm afraid that we won't be able to leave, why don't Su Su go to greet us? Xue Shiyan didn't take two steps before she stopped and turned around.
The daughter of the patriarch? If Xiao Zhisu remembers correctly, this fifth girl was married to the third son of the king of Huaijiang, so the patriarch decided to send her to Jiankang Xiao Mansion to learn the rules before leaving the cabinet. It doesn't matter if she is going to pick up someone, anyway, she was the one who picked up herself in her previous life, but what kind of heart does Xue Shiyan have?
"Susu? How is it? Xue Shiyan saw that she didn't answer for a long time, thinking that she was unhappy, and was about to speak but was blocked.
"Jiu'er understands, if there is really no one to draw by then, I am willing to pick up the fifth sister."
