Chapter 224: Relief (1)
It's so hard to pick a chapter name╮(╯▽╰)╭——
Zhen Xuan sent Mrs. Li back to Tianyi Courtyard.
When changing Xia Yiqing's clothes at night, Xia Yiqing talked about something.
Linglong Pavilion received a few urgent orders, which were the Pei family's dowry for Zhenlin.
Zhen Lin is going to Beijing after the New Year, but it is only four months younger, and it seems to be in a hurry to prepare for marriage. Zhen Lin is the pearl of Duan's palm, the previous one, Duan's prepared for more than a year and still felt that it was not thoughtful enough, this time on the jade plate, I am afraid that it will take a lot of thought.
At that time, Zhen Lin thought that she would have a green lantern for the rest of her life, and gave the dowry to her sisters, and she couldn't ask for it back at this time, so she had to fight again. In just four months, I'm afraid I can't prepare a large number.
The Pei family did not send a message to Zhen Xuan, and they invited several ladies from Linglong Pavilion to negotiate with each other in a business-like manner, but they didn't want to trouble her as a new bride.
Such thoughts, it is really ......
Thinking of this, Zhen Xuan sniffed, her fourth sister has always been like this, knowing the etiquette and being intimate.
After meeting Mrs. Xie on the day of her return to Qingrong Hall, Zhen Xuan did not see Zhen Lin again, what kind of emotions would Zhen Lin have after hearing about Mrs. Xie's intention, was shocked, helpless, sad, or resigned to fate......
What hovers in my mind is the red figure that rushed away that day, and then I sat quietly all night, and the face of a girl who spent rouge.
Zhen Xuan had something in mind, and she didn't rest very comfortably at night, tossing and turning in a daze, half asleep, and half awake. It stirred up Xia Yiqing's anger. After doing some things, I was so tired that I fell asleep.
On the afternoon of the second day, I was supposed to rest for a while. Dayjin passed Xia Yiqing's words and asked Zhen Xuan to go out with him.
Zhen Xuan was puzzled, and asked Tao Aya while changing clothes: "Did the second master say where to go?" ”
Tao Aya shook her head and said, "Dayjin didn't say it carefully, and probably the second master didn't say it in detail. ”
After all, there is a place to go, Zhen Xuan brought Tao Aya and a piano, and got into a carriage with Xia Yiqing outside the second gate.
Xia Yiqing closed her eyes and recuperated, and Zhen Xuan was not easy to ask. The carriage was stable, and the axle was so rough that she was also sleepy, and her body fell on Xia Yiqing from time to time, and Xia Yiqing didn't call her, but moved her seat so that she could sleep more comfortably.
The carriage is no better than the bed, and even if you take a nap, your neck is still sore.
Zhen Xuan raised her hand and pressed it, and when she heard the voice of greeting outside, it was her aunt and aunt, and she was slightly stunned. lifted the corner of the curtain of the car to see, and it was actually at the side door of Pei's house.
Zhen Xuan looked at Xia Yiqing in amazement.
"If you are tired, rest first. It's a long way back home, it's still closer to Pei's house, I still have other things, I'll pick you up later. After Xia Yiqing finished speaking, Zhen Xuan got out of the car and changed into a green curtain car, and saw that the Xia family's carriage was driving away, so he went all the way to Qing'an Hall.
Mama Qin got the letter and brought Luo Han to wait at the door, Zhen Xuan went to kowtow to Mrs. Li and Ji, the two were a little surprised to see Zhen Xuan come back alone, until they heard her intention and knew that it was sent all the way by Xia Yiqing, Ji smiled and pulled her to sit down, and asked about her married life.
Zhen Xuan only said that everything was fine, and Ji Shi was not at ease to ask, but was stopped by Mrs. Li.
"If it's not good, will Yiqing let her come back to visit? Be relieved. ”
Hearing this, Ji Shi also covered his veil and smiled: "That's true." ”
The Ji family still had something to say, but it was not good to delay Zhen Xuan to say hello to the other elders, so he took his hand and looked at it again, and asked Tao Aya and Bang Qin Haosheng to follow, and went to salute elsewhere together.
Zhen Xuan came out of Mrs. Li's room and glanced at the boudoir in front of her.
The door was closed, and there were several pots of flowers on the corridor in front of the door, everything was the same as before, as if the door would open from the inside in the next moment, and Momoya walked out with a happy smile.
A girl's voice came from the courtyard, Zhen Xuan turned her head to see that it was Lan An and Luo Han talking together, I don't know what interesting things I said, and laughed.
Lihe happened to come over, frowned, and whispered: "Grandma is back, you don't go to the front to serve, why are you still laughing here, can't you be lazy?" ”
Luo Han was not afraid of Lihe, smiled honestly, and said: "Sister Lihe, there are Wan Niang and Xishu in the old lady's house, but we are crowded and panicked when we go over." ”
Mrs. Li doesn't like the large number of people waiting in front of her, and usually only leaves Wan Niang alone.
Lihe shook his head helplessly, pointed to the fallen leaves in the courtyard, and said, "I don't need you in it, this yard also needs to be swept." ”
Lan An didn't dare to reply, so he answered.
Lihe said to Luo Han again: "Mrs. just asked about this winter's stove cover the day before yesterday, have you done your job well?" ”
Luo Han stuck out her tongue, took Lihe's hand and said, "Sister, don't worry, I don't dare to delay." ”
Lihe knew her childlike mentality, and she was going to say a few more words, but when she raised her eyes and saw Zhen Xuan, she hurriedly greeted her.
Lihe has been in charge of the little maid in Qing'an Hall for Mama Qin for the past few years, and now she seems to have the style of a big maid, and Mrs. Li saw that she was still talking and doing things safely, so she asked her to go to Zhenheng House to take charge of big and small things.
When Zhenxuan chose the big girl that day, Lihe asked Xing Aya to occupy the front, Lihe's mother scolded Lihe for a few words, and now she has become the first class in Zhenheng's house, even if it is not as good as serving by Zhenheng's side, it is also a decent maid in Qing'an Hall, and Lihe's mother is finally relieved.
Zhen Xuan stepped forward and asked Zhen Heng how he lived on weekdays and how his homework was, and he answered. Speaking of Zhen Heng's body, everything else is very good, but he can't stand the hard work, and if he stays up late, his head will be a little swollen on the second day.
Zhen Xuan sighed secretly, knowing that it was the problem left by the fall when he was a child, Mr. He saw it, and said that as long as he rested, it would be fine, but it was not easy to cure it. Mrs. Li and Ji's were distressed, and Zhenheng was not allowed to read at night, but Zhenheng was a lover of books, and he forgot the time when he started to learn. Seeing that the township test is going to be conducted in the coming year, Zhenheng is getting more and more concerned.
"When you serve your brother, you keep an eye on him, and you can't call him willful. I've also said him a few times, and he deserves a good mouth, and then he forgets it when he looks back. Doing knowledge depends on the body, and you and Mother Lu have to take care of him. If your brother doesn't listen to you, go to your grandmother and mother. ”
The pear echoed.
After coming out of Qing'an Hall, Zhen Xuan did not rush to Qingrong Hall, but went directly to Qingfu Hall.
The family temple has been repaired, the statue of Guanyin with the golden body has been invited back from the Tianning Temple, sitting on the hall, the Buddha statue is hung around the Buddha tent of gold and silver embroidery, a needle and a thread are Zhenlin's craftsmanship, that is, the brocade futon is also made by Zhenlin himself.
Sandalwood was lit in the Buddhist hall, and before they approached, they heard the low sound of chanting, which made people slow down their pace, for fear of disturbing the peace of the room.
It was Liu who was chanting, the Buddhist beads in his hand were gently moved, and Zhen Lin knelt beside him.
Zhen Xuan went in and knelt down, kowtowed respectfully, but didn't dare to disturb the Liu family, and retreated with Zhen Lin.
The two walked a little farther away, and Zhen Lin held Zhen Xuan's hand and said, "What's wrong?" ”
"I went out with the second master, and I happened to pass by here, and the second master has some things, so I will come back and ask for peace." After Zhen Xuan finished speaking briefly, he turned his head to look at the Buddha hall, Liu's shadow was very long, accompanied by the scriptures recited in a low voice, and he became more and more comfortable and detached, "Is the third aunt okay?" ”
"Since I invited the Bodhisattva back, the third uncle and mother have not stayed in the house every day, and they have come out to walk around, and their spirits have improved a lot. I see, it's much stronger than in previous years. ”
Since the death of the third master, Liu's smile has been missing, and he met Zhen Che and Mo Yan at odds, and later Mo Yan committed suicide in the archway, Zhen Che was forced by Mrs. Jia and Su Manyue all the way, and went to the capital to be peaceful. After cultivating the Buddha, she was in a peaceful state of mind, looked down on life and death, and Zhen Che stayed in the capital as an official, but she had a matter on her mind, and after taking over the family temple, she thought she was slowly getting better.
For Mo Yan's mother-in-law, Zhen Xuan has always respected her, and she is also happy to see that she is all right.
Looking at Zhen Lin in front of him again, his eyebrows were more calm and calm than before the accident, thinking that he had learned from cultivating Buddhism these days, facing her, Zhen Xuan obviously wanted to say something in his stomach, but he didn't know how to speak for a while.
Zhen Lin didn't know how to start this, and after a circle, she was finally going to get married, to marry someone she had never thought of.
The two sisters were relatively speechless, and it was Zhen Xuan who spoke first: "The second master entered Beijing at about the same time, I should be able to go with me and give you a marriage." ”
"Okay." Zhen Lin clenched Zhen Xuan's hand, nodded and said, "Don't worry, I can get by in my heart, everything has a fate, why should I bother with mediocrity." I don't want to think about that, it's a blessing or a curse, it's always a way. For a divorced woman like me, if the Seventh Prince can give a side concubine name, I should be grateful. ”
Hearing Zhen Lin say this, Zhen Xuan's words turned around in his throat, and after all, he suppressed the doubts in his heart and didn't mention it to Zhen Lin.
Back then, the Cheng family in Beijing became a chess piece, and in that way they got out of the marriage, in the fight of the gods, did the Seven Princes participate, happy to see it come into play, or added a handful of firewood?
It's just that now, those are no longer important, no matter what the purpose is to marry Zhen Lin, I just hope that he can treat her better, better......
Without mentioning those troublesome pasts, Zhen Xuan asked about Zhen Lin's dowry: "I heard that it was handed over to Linglong Pavilion, but is it still too late?" ”
Zhen Lin smiled lightly and said: "The tenth sister saw that I was in a hurry, and sent it back with a good one, and I thought about adding more makeup to her when she got into the sedan chair in the future." The palace gave some, Aunt He in Beijing is also preparing, and Yongzhou has prepared some more, and it's almost the same. After all, I am a side concubine, if I am eighty and carry into the door, won't it make it difficult for the future concubine. ”
Zhen Lin was right, and Zhen Xuan understood it as soon as she heard it.
When preparing the dowry, not only should you leave room for the future concubine, but also take into account the concubines and concubines in the other princes' mansions.
Zhen Xuan was going to Qingrong Hall to say goodbye, Zhen Lin went with her, and when she talked about the Sun family on the way, those broken words made Zhen Lin frown slightly.
After meeting a few aunts at Mrs. Ma's, Zhen Xuan and Zhen Lin withdrew and went to Sun's house. (To be continued......)
