"Today, there will be enlightened monks from the Western Regions coming to give lectures, so it is particularly noisy." Mrs. Jing and Mrs. Jing explained to the old lady as she walked.

The old lady was overjoyed when she heard this: "That's really a coincidence, just in time for the monk to give a lecture." ”

"It's just that the senior monk still needs to wait for two hours before he can enter the temple, and Mrs. Jiang can rest in the wing room first." Jinghe Shitai said, and led them to the wing room in the backyard of the temple.

Su Xue raised her eyes and looked around, there were really a lot of people coming back this time, the foot of the mountain was crowded, the front hall was also very lively, and even the wings in the backyard were full of people. But anyway, a side room was set aside for the Jiang family.

This wing room is not big or small, and it just happened to accommodate a group of masters, and the maids and women had to retreat outside the wing room to wait.

"There are so many people who come to offer incense today." The old lady sat down and couldn't help but whisper.

"It's not like this in Su Ri, they all come here to admire the monks." Jinghe Shitai explained with a humble face.

After a pause, he glanced at the side room next to him and said, "Old Mrs. Jiang, this compartment is the eldest lady of the Luo family, I heard that Old Lady Jiang was coming over, and she specially asked for a blessing for the old lady." ”

Jing and Mrs. Jing said, and quickly glanced at the little nun behind her, and the little nun handed over a red brocade bag embroidered with blessings and longevity.

The old lady glanced faintly and asked Mother Hu, who was standing at the entrance of the room, to come in and accept it.

"Mrs. Luo has a heart, but the old body is tired from the car and horses all the way to the temple, so it is inconvenient to go over to visit. I heard that Mrs. Luo also just married her daughter last year, Mother Hu, remember to choose a day to ask Steward Li to prepare a generous gift to send over. I didn't care about it when I was in Jizhou before. It's not okay to pay Mrs. Luo Da. ”

Mother Hu responded with understanding.

The Luo family is an old friend of the Jiang family. After the Jiang family moved to Jizhou, they rarely interacted.

Originally, even if there were fewer contacts, they were still old friends when they met each other, but the third Mrs. Naluo was mean, liked to gossip, and said some words about the Jiang family, but it was passed on to the old lady's ears.

To this, the old lady did not respond verbally. But the impression of the Luo family in my heart plummeted.

Seeing that the old lady had no intention of meeting Mrs. Luo, Mrs. Jinghe's face stiffened.

Su Xue took a sip of the wheat tea on the small pestle, the Jiang family is still well-known in Jizhou, but if it is put among the nobles in Beijing, it is only a small family, no matter what, the eldest lady of the Luo family even sent the blessing bag, and besides, in the compartment, the old lady has the right to move her body.

Mrs. Jinghe's intention is very clear, and it looks like she has received the benefits of Mrs. Luo. came to help build a bridge, but the old lady turned out to be a lonely master. The more the other party showed affection, the more reluctant she was to deal with her.

Seeing that the old lady's face was indifferent, Mrs. Jinghe didn't say anything more.

The old lady had just finished sending the Luo family away with a straight face, and suddenly asked with a smile: "On the way we came just now, it seems that we saw Mrs. Zhao, and Mrs. Zhao also came to Jiangnan?" ”

Mrs. Jinghe nodded: "Mrs. Jiang is really deaf and clear-sighted, and the Zhao family is in the wing room diagonally opposite here." The Zhao family rarely comes to the temple, this time because the eldest granddaughter of Mrs. Zhao passed away, and today is Sanqi, so she came to the temple to pray for blessings. ”

The old lady of the Zhao family has also heard about the inexplicable death of the eldest lady of the Zhao family, and there is already a hidden turbulence in the Hou Gate, and it is strange that the old man Zhao prefers the concubine room, so it makes the inner house restless.

But that's not what the old lady cared about.

"The heirs of the Zhao family are prosperous, but there are also many disasters and difficulties, I only wish the Bodhisattva to bless me, and don't want to repeat the tragedy." The old lady clasped her hands together and said with a heavy face.

Mrs. Jinghe smiled movingly: "Amitabha, Mrs. Jiang is merciful, no wonder the Jiang family has been prosperous and smooth for generations." ”

The old lady smiled and said: "The Zhao family has a big business, and the Jiang family can't be compared, but there is one thing that is very similar, there are many girls in our Jiang family, and there are few Lang Jun, and there is only one grandson in this generation, but it happens that the Zhao family also has many girls, Lang Jun is few, and there is only one grandson of Zhao Dagongzi." ”

The old lady finally led the conversation to Zhao Dagongzi.

When she heard the old lady's sentence "There is only one grandson", the eldest lady's face turned blue.

The second master, Jiang Yongjun, sat quietly on the side and quickly glanced at the eldest brother Jiang Yonghong.

That is the grandson in the eyes of the old lady, and he, a concubine, will never be favored by the old lady.

Jiang Yongjun's face looked as usual, but the fists hidden in his sleeves were clenched with green tendons.

There are many officials who come to Jingning Temple to incense, and Mrs. Jinghe has always been used to maneuvering in the middle, and as soon as the old lady said this, she understood the secret meaning.

"Coincidentally, Mr. Zhao also came, and he was still in the wing room over there." Jinghe Shitai said, pointing over there.

The wives in the mansion and the boudoir girls rarely go out on weekdays, and the wives have always taken the opportunity to go to the temple to offer incense as a chance to make friends, just like the wives of the Luo family, and the boudoir girls often regard this as an opportunity to see each other.

The old lady led a large group of daughters over, and suddenly looked for a topic on the eldest son of the Zhao family, which couldn't be clearer.

Jinghe Shitai pointed out, and the eldest lady straightened her neck and looked over there, but it was cold outside, and the Zhao family's wings were tightly closed, so she couldn't see anything.

The old lady also looked over there, nodded, and said, "Old Madam Zhao must also be waiting for the monk, and it will not be too late for me to go and greet me when the time comes." ”

After a while, the nun behind her whispered a few words to Jing and Mrs. Shi, and Mrs. Jing said goodbye to the old lady and went out of the room.

Uncle Jiang Yonghong sat for a while, got up and said: "Grandmother, the senior monk still has two hours to enter the temple to preach, can the grandson go to the opposite side to visit the eldest son of Zhao first?" After all, Zhao Dagongzi is Xie Yuan of the previous session, and his grandson is also preparing to participate in the Autumn Festival, so he can go to ask for some advice. ”

The old lady had this intention, so she nodded with satisfaction: "It's rare that Brother Hong is so attentive." The juniors talk speculatively, if you want to go, go away, remember to respect Mrs. Zhao. ”

"Grandchildren remember." Jiang Yonghong smiled and saluted, and walked out of the wing room to the opposite side.

Jiang Yonghong went, and the second lady couldn't hold it back, her eyes swayed for a while, and she suddenly said: "When I came over, I heard those girls say that it snowed last night on this side of Nanshan, and now the snow at the foot of this mountain has melted, but there must be no on the top of the mountain." There are still two hours before the monks come over, why don't we go to the top of the mountain to see the snow? ”

The eldest lady glanced at the old lady quickly, frowned at the second lady and said, "Today is here to pray for blessings, you should stop and stop." It also snows in Jizhou every year, what snow haven't you seen? ”

"The snow in Jizhou is the snow in Jizhou, and the snow in Jiangnan is the snow in Jiangnan, how can it be the same?" The second lady glanced at the eldest lady impatiently, and once again felt a little bored with this stupid mother in her heart.

"Alright, alright." The old lady suddenly opened her mouth, "I know that you can't sit still one by one, so if you want to go and see, just remember the time and come back quickly." I also have to bring a few more maids with me, otherwise I won't be at ease if I am alone with a girl's house. ”

Seeing that the old lady had agreed, the eldest lady no longer objected, and hurriedly instructed Yan's mother and Jade outside the wing room to accompany the second lady.

The second lady raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, looked at Su Xue and said, "I don't want others to accompany me, as long as the third sister goes with me." ”

Su Xue slowly put down the porcelain cup in her hand and raised her eyes calmly, what are these two young ladies talking about?

After the second lady finished speaking with a smile, she walked up to Su Xue, took her hand affectionately and said, "The third sister likes to see the snow the most, and she won't refuse to accompany me, right?" ”

Su Xue forcibly gathered the wary look in her eyes, and quickly thought about the second lady's intentions in her mind.

At this moment, the fourth lady Jingxuan also smiled and said: "The snow in the south of the Yangtze River has a different artistic conception, it is indeed not like the snow in the north, the third sister must be eager to see it quickly, how can she refuse to accompany the second sister?" It's a pity that my sixth sister and I were born with a cold, otherwise I wouldn't want to miss such a beautiful scenery. ”

Su Xue swept them silently, it was rare that these two people could also sing and harmonize.

Coming to Jingning Temple to pray for blessings today, Jingxuan was extremely reluctant, because the second wife didn't come, and she didn't have the heart to join in the excitement. The things she is looking forward to can't go well, what Buddha do you ask for, what blessings do you pray?

But the second wife pulled her and pointed out, if you don't follow, won't you let Jiang Suxue steal the limelight in front of the old lady in vain?

When it came to Su Xue, Jing Xuan immediately came to hatred, if it weren't for Jiang Suxue, she would have married Shen Lang a long time ago, how could there be such a thing as a back?

Not only can she no longer let Jiang Suxue steal the limelight, but she also has to avenge her love at the beginning!

Although Jingxuan respectfully shouted the third sister in her mouth, she looked at Su Xue's eyes with a fierce color.

Su Xue looked away lightly and said with a gentle smile: "Since the second sister wants to go, I will accompany her to be a companion." The second sister likes to watch the snow, and it is inevitable that she will forget to return, and one more person will mention it on the side, so that she will not forget the time by then. ”

The second young lady grinned triumphantly, grabbed Su Xue's hand and pulled her up, and couldn't wait to go out.

Su Xue hurriedly squatted slightly at the old lady, which was considered a blessing, and the old lady nodded.

"These three girls are really sensible, they don't forget the rules everywhere, it's good to have her with the second girl, so that the second girl can't forget the business when she plays." Seeing Su Xue and the second lady moving away, the old lady said.

The eldest lady smiled awkwardly and said, "Mother, don't say it, Sister Xue is also a fun-loving master, maybe it will be Yanyun who reminds her when the time comes!" ”

The corners of the old lady's mouth pressed, and she picked up the wheat tea on the small pestle and drank it.

After the eldest lady became pregnant, the old lady no longer squeezed the eldest lady everywhere as before, but how could the disgust accumulated in the old lady's heart for more than ten years be completely eliminated in one or two days?

The old lady did not say anything to sarcastically mock the eldest lady, but she did not respond to the previous sentence. (To be continued......)
