Chapter 253: Practicing Together
Under everyone's expectations, Mrs. Zhao was ready early in the morning the next day, sitting at home, waiting for Chen Wenhui to come to the door to torture her. However, the left and the left can't wait, and the right can't wait, Mrs. Zhao and the others are impetuous, angry, and about to send someone to ask, the county lord's mansion sent someone to tell him, saying that Chen Wenhui and his wife are going to visit Concubine De Niangniang today, because they are outside the city, so they went out early in the morning, and they didn't have time to come to the house to say hello to the old lady, and they may come back late in the evening, please forgive the old lady.
Mrs. Zhao was speechless for a moment, and felt as if she had punched the cotton, which was really uncomfortable. But you can't say anything, after all, people are also courtesy, or it's your daughter who is visiting. According to the rules, Chen Wenhui and his wife should have met Concubine De in the palace yesterday. After all, in terms of etiquette, even the old Zhongyi Gong, who is a parent, and she, the old Zhongyi Duchess, are not as high as the concubine De Niangniang, who is the imperial concubine. Therefore, Zhao Chongyi and his wife should go to see Concubine Zhao De first.
However, Concubine Zhao Defei is not still a mother in the palace now, she is now practicing in the Taoist temple at home, and she has been named a national teacher by the emperor. Therefore, Zhao Chongyi and his wife did not see Concubine De in the palace yesterday. Yesterday, the relatives of the family recognized and met, but the dearest, the highest-level Concubine De of the Zhao family has not yet met, how bad, people today went out of the city early in the morning to meet Concubine De, how polite it is.
Mrs. Zhao can only praise, and because Concubine Zhao Defei is her daughter, she also has to thank Chen Wenhui for looking at her differently. Mrs. Zhao only felt that she wanted to vomit blood.
Han had been waiting early in the morning, ready to watch the excitement. But when the news came, he paused for a moment, laughed, and then said to the companion: "Lord Wenhui's trick is really high." Let the old lady punch the cotton, what a cleverness. I escaped today, and tomorrow is the day to return to the door. She doesn't even have to serve the old lady in the house, but it's really amazing. The old lady must have the heart to vomit blood now. ”
Here, the Zhao family is talking about Chen Wenhui. Chen Wenhui and his wife were like an outing, and the two of them took a carriage together to the manor outside the city.
The air outside the city is fresh, the autumn is high and cool, the trees on the roadside have some leaves have begun to turn red, yellow, go out of the city gate, go to the mountain, the mountains are stacked on top of each other, the color is mottled, like a beautiful picture.
Zhao Chongyi said: "Hui'er, do you want to paint such a beautiful scenery?" ”
Chen Wenhui said: "I don't want to paint today, I just want to watch the scenery, and painting should not only have a good view, but also be in a mood." Besides, I'm not really good at painting landscapes, I'm better at drawing people, flowers and birds. ”
Zhao Chongyi smiled and said, "Why do you give me so many paintings, I think every one of them is very good?" ”
Chen Wenhui said: "Originally, my skills are very good, you know, I am a disciple of Master Qiu, the master of painting today. Can the foundation be bad? ”
Zhao Chongyi said: "Yes, I really want to thank Master Qiu, if you hadn't come back late from going to him, how could you have encountered danger, how could you have given me a chance to save you, how could we have come together today?" ”
Chen Wenhui thought about it and smiled: "You say so, we should really take time to visit the master in the painting hall." ”
Zhao Chongyi said: "That is as it should be. It just so happens that I got married, and I don't have to go to the Yamen to go to the court, so we use this period of time to go to the mountains and rivers every day, just taking advantage of the cool weather in autumn, how good? ”
Chen Wenhui originally wanted to say that she had a lot of things to do, but after thinking about it, she had never been idle in the past few years, and she really needed to take a break. Even in the previous life, didn't the newlyweds also want honeymoons? Now, aren't these two of you in the honeymoon phase?
Chen Wenhui said: "Originally, I still have a lot of things to deal with in Nanyang. There are also many things to deal with in business, and I have to go to the Taoist temple outside the capital on a regular basis, as well as Yangshantang and so on, but what you said is also, now this cool autumn weather, just travel, simply, we don't care about anything for a while, it's good to go out to play? ”
Zhao Chongyi was very happy and immediately talked about the places of interest around the capital, these Chen Wenhui really haven't been there, Zhao Chongyi said that the scenery of those places is very beautiful, which made Chen Wenhui also very interested.
Two people talk and laugh, and they have to stop and enjoy the beautiful scenery on the way, or a beautiful flower, or a few mischievous sparrows. In this way, in a short distance, the two of them walked for two hours, and it was noon before they could walk in front of Concubine Zhao Defei's Taoist temple.
This is the first time Chen Wenhui came to the Taoist temple where Concubine Zhao Defei lived, but she didn't expect it to be so small, there were only three entrances before and after, and it was mainly a place to worship the statues, and Concubine Zhao lived in only a narrow courtyard.
Chen Wenhui thought in her heart, Concubine Zhao Defei has loved Ronghua all her life, but she didn't expect that she would be forced to live in such a humble place at a young age and live a miserable and lonely life, can she be willing? However, on the way, I heard Zhao Chongyi talk about Zhao Defei, and learned that it turned out that he was not bullied by the three sisters of the Zhao family when he was a child, but later, especially recently, after Zhao Defei became a monk, the relationship between the two has now improved with the efforts of Zhao Defei, so Zhao Chongyi only brought her to visit Zhao Defei in Taoism today.
Chen Wenhui sneered in her heart, this Concubine Zhao De also has a purpose, she must have learned to be obedient in the palace, knowing that it is now the world of the Xiao Chen family, and she has to think of a way out for the people of the Xiao Chen family, so she knew that after Zhao Chongyi married herself, she approached Zhao Chongyi so deliberately.
But people? Sometimes you just have to pretend to be confused, although people have a purpose, but in this world, most interpersonal relationships are used by each other, and you can't ignore others just because they want to use you.
Chen Wenhui felt that Concubine Zhao Defei was a smart person who knew the times, and she was very willing to deal with such a person.
Therefore, she prepared a sumptuous gift and came to the Taoist Temple with Zhao Chongyi to visit Concubine Zhao De, of course, there is another benefit, that is, she can avoid Mrs. Zhao, so that Mrs. Zhao carefully prepared the trap for her, which is useless, and it makes people happy to think about it.
Chen Wenhui was looking at this simple Taoist temple, Zhao Defei had already come out, she was very happy, but Chen Wenhui still felt that Zhao Defei, who did not apply fat powder, looked a little haggard now.
However, the Taoist robe worn by Concubine Zhao Defei is very exquisite, not coarse cloth, not cotton and linen, but silk, although it is plain, the style is cut and fitted, and there is a different kind of grace when worn on the body. Concubine Zhao Defei did not have a simple Daogu bun on her head, but wore a very beautiful light gauze feather crown, which really looked like a fairy character. Originally, Concubine Zhao Defei was a gorgeous beauty, but now she has washed away the lead and taken off the mundane, and she actually has a trace of spirituality and a trace of fairy energy.
Chen Wenhui couldn't help but secretly admire in her heart, Concubine Zhao Defei is worthy of being born as a fourth concubine, and the best in the world is in the palace. Concubine Zhao Defei has been in the palace for so many years, and this kung fu of dressing up has become better and better, and when she practiced in this wild place, this kung fu still hasn't been pulled down.
Concubine Zhao Defei expressed her gratitude, and Chen Wenhui and her husband met her, saluted, and gave gifts. What is rare is that Concubine Zhao Defei actually prepared a richer gift for them, looking at the clip of jewelry sent by Concubine Zhao Defei, as well as many gorgeous satins that did not conform to the elegant nature of the Taoist temple, Chen Wenhui knew that Concubine Zhao Defei must have something to find her.
Sure enough, after the two sides chatted a few words, Concubine Zhao Defei invited Chen Wenhui to go to the backyard with her to incense, Chen Wenhui looked at Zhao Chongyi, and Zhao Chongyi hurriedly said, "Why don't you go over too?" ”
Concubine Zhao Defei said: "You only came here at this hour, just at the meal, I only have fasting rice here, not suitable for you newlyweds to eat, so I asked people to order a table of wine and food in the town five miles away, and sent it to the Zhuangzi in front of the Taoist temple, and you will go to your father's grange to eat in a while." It just so happens that my father and mother are not in the Grange, and when the time comes, you two masters will be there, and you will be free. At this moment, I want to say a few words to my second sister-in-law. ”
When Concubine Zhao said this, Chen Wenhui knew that it was inevitable, so she smiled and said to Zhao Chongyi: "That husband, you go outside first and wait for me." ”
Zhao Chongyi had no choice but to go out.
Chen Wenhui followed Concubine Zhao Defei as she walked out and chatted, Chen Wenhui said, "Is Niangniang feeling better here?" ”
Concubine Zhao Defei smiled and said, "My body, others don't know, don't you know?" Speaking of which, I really want to thank you for helping me get out of the palace. Although the emperor in the palace is getting better now, I know that it is unreliable, and one day, I will still have to embark on those two dead ends. Fortunately, I escaped with the help of my relatives, your Chen family. ”
She confessed so frankly, Chen Wenhui was not polite, and just said: "Niangniang doesn't need to thank me." I also got the benefits. When the two families first discussed, they had their own conditions. Now that you and I have achieved what we wanted, we are all very happy. By the way, Niangniang, what do you want to say to me? ”
Zhao Defei said: "I think you have also seen how hard my life here is. I don't want to stay in this place any longer. I don't know, can you help me think of a plan in the future and send it to the Taoist temple where Chen Guifei's sisters live, and the three of us from the palace can practice together, isn't it better to have a companion than to live like boiling oil here? ”
Chen Wenhui couldn't help but stop and looked at Concubine Zhao Defei seriously. R1152
