Chapter 172: Joining the Army (3)

Bow thanks to ntjyj and Ingrid. Bowman's pink ticket, bow.

=============================================

The Fu family gave the Pei family a step, and Mrs. Fu San was afraid that Mrs. Ma would lose face, and she was reluctant to talk to the Fu family, so she came in person and made a persuasion, and the matter passed.

After all, it's a matter of going into battle and fighting, who is willing to go to the scholarly house?

Mrs. Ma knew that Mrs. Fu San was kind, but the face on this face was preserved, but it was inevitable that the Fu family would have a truth in their hearts, and when Zhenqi got married, she would be looked down upon.

Besides, they had already figured out that Zhenlu would follow, and there was no need to do something like that.

Holding Mrs. Fu's hand, Mrs. Ma smiled and said, "Several masters of the Fu family are ambitious and enthusiastic, how can they be regarded as nonsense." Zhenlu can this child have this heart, my old woman is reluctant, but can she still stop him from protecting his family and defending the country? I have promised him to go with him, for fear that he will not be able to do enough to get in the way and cause trouble to you. ”

Mrs. Fu San was also stunned when she heard this, she didn't expect that the Pei family had already agreed here.

In her heart, it is not difficult for such a family to find a way out for her children, and Zhenlu is a child who does things properly and has outstanding talents.

The Pei family is from a scholarly background, so there is really no need to let their children fight on the battlefield, but the Pei family has already agreed.

Mrs. Fu San looked at Mrs. Ma, and then at Cao's family, only to see that although her eyes were red and she looked like she had cried, she was also very calm at this time. I can't help but praise in my heart: In the end, he is a man of grace, who can be a jinshi, and he dares to send his children to join the army.

Mrs. Fu San smiled kindly and said, "Old lady." I won't say those good and obedient words that twist and turn, just one sentence, the sixth master will go to northern Xinjiang. We'll take care of it, I'll tell those boys at home. ”

Mrs. Ma nodded gratefully and said, "All of them must be good." Those masters of the Fu family must also take care of themselves. ”

Mrs. Fu San pursed her lips and smiled: "Naturally, we are still waiting for the wedding wine." ”

After Mrs. Fu San finished speaking, because she was going to go on an expedition, there were many things at home, and she didn't stay much, so the Cao family sent her out. She comforted Cao Shi a few more words, and then left.

Zhen Xuan sat for a while, got up and said goodbye and returned to Qing'an Hall.

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Ji were surprised when they heard that Zhenlu was going to join the army, and Mrs. Li said a sentence in a half-loud voice: "It's hard for her to be hard-hearted." ”

Zhenlu knelt in the ancestral hall all night. At dawn the next day, the Pei family knew that Dao Zhenlu was going to northern Xinjiang.

Mrs. Jia happened to be sick, lying on the bed and listening to Mrs. Liugu talk about this stubble, hehe laughed for a while, and then said coldly: "This is to marry a daughter, and take a son, the fifth daughter-in-law's account is really confused, no wonder the long house has been in the hands of the eldest daughter-in-law, and it is not her turn to benefit at all." ”

This sentence reached Cao's ears. It took a long time to turn around, and seeing Zhenqi looking at her worriedly on the side, she didn't care about the rules, squeezed out a smile, and said, "Don't pay attention to that crazy old woman, what kind of mouth does she have." Who in the family doesn't know the way? What if you can settle accounts again? Is she doing less loss-making trades? Just the daughter who lost money should be a little self-aware and shut up. ”

There were people whose mouths were not very peaceful, and this word spread to Qingfu Hall again, and Mrs. Liugu couldn't sit still, so she was about to rush to Qingrong Hall to fight with the Cao family for three hundred rounds, but before she left the door of Qingfu Hall, she was stopped back by Zhou's coldly.

Mrs. Jiang was worried about this, so she sent someone to ask, and after getting the letter, she let Zhen Jue go away and said some comforting words.

Sifang also thought that Mei's was a distressed child, so he took Zhao to rush a few winter clothes overnight and sent them to Qingrong Hall.

Mrs. Li was still angry about Zhenying's affairs, so she only let Ji go a few times, and Ji's relationship with Cao's concubine has always been good, so she persuaded her for a while and helped pack her things.

Zhen Xuan accompanied the Ji family and walked more and more diligently to Qingrong Hall.

On December 14, Cao decided to go to Tianning Temple to burn incense and ask for peace.

Mrs. Ma asked Mama Dai and Jinhong to prepare incense and oil, and the offerings were indispensable, and they went with the Cao family.

The Cao family brought Zhen Qi, and Zhen Qi pulled Zhen Xuan and Zhen Lin, saying that it was good to go out and relax.

Tianning Temple is not far from the drum tower of Yongzhou City, in the city, it is the temple built in the previous dynasty again, even in the present dynasty, the incense is still prosperous, there are many merchants in Yongzhou City, and there are many people who worship here.

Tianning Temple is not an ordinary temple, and the Pei family has no intention of mobilizing the people, so they got off the carriage outside the temple, and there were mothers-in-law and maids who entered the temple in a cluster.

Yesterday, Chen Yubao personally came to find the abbot master and arranged it properly.

The hall did not avoid other pilgrims, Cao took the three incense sticks handed over by Jinhong, kowtowed and made a wish, and the three young ladies followed behind and had to refer to it.

When they were all well, a little monk led the way to the back room.

The holy land of Buddhism, not compared to the secular world, the wing room is extremely pure, spotless, the faint smell of incense wafts in the air, listening to the Buddha bell, the heart is also quiet.

Cao sat in the wing room and talked to Mama Dai.

Zhenqi couldn't be idle, and when it was hard to come out, she didn't want to sit, so she went out of the wing room and looked around.

It was specially built for the purpose of entertaining guests, and there are seven or eight wings of the same size on the left and right sides, and in the northeast corner of the temple, it is dedicated to serving female guests. A row of sycamores was planted in the middle, and there were not many trees left at this time, which looked particularly bleak.

Zhen Qi didn't dare to provoke Cao's anxiety, so she only walked along the verandah outside the wing room, Zhen Xuan and Zhen Lin came out to look for her, she turned her head and laughed lowly: "Are you afraid that I will run away?" ”

Zhen Lin shook her head helplessly: "You also know the way." It's like a monkey and can't be idle. ”

Zhenqi pouted, didn't speak, but her eyes were looking around, and a door in the other party's wing suddenly came, and a woman in her fifties came out, and walked forward quickly.

Zhenqi sighed and took a closer look over there.

Zhen Xuan was puzzled, and also followed to see: "Fifth sister." What's wrong? ”

Zhenqi pursed her lips and said, "The one just now seems to be Mother Mao next to Second Mrs. Fu, I'm not sure." ”

Zhen Lin glanced at it, thinking that this matter was going back to the Cao family. If the Fu family is also here, it is just that if you don't know the way, you always have to say hello when you know it.

That's what Cao thinks. called a maid to inquire, if the real wife of the Fu family is there, she can't be rude.

The maid came back after a short while, and replied, "It's the second wife of the Fu family." On the ninth day of the first lunar month, several wives of the Fu family came with Grandma Fu, and when they finished doing the Buddhist work, only the second wife stayed here, and I heard that they were going to fast for 7749 days. The rest went back. ”

The relationship between those people in the Fu family is the most familiar with Zhenqi.

Seeing Cao Shi looking at her, Zhenqi hurriedly said: "The second wife is the mother-in-law of the second and third masters, and the fourth master was born to the eldest wife, and the first brother is above." It's the uncle. The fifth and sixth masters are all from the third wife. The bottom one is even smaller. ”

After listening to this, Cao Shi turned around.

Uncle Fu has been going to Northern Xinjiang with a few masters a long time ago, this time the second, third, fourth, and fifth masters, these four went with Zhenlu.

The two sons of the second wife joined the army for the first time, but they were afraid that they would not be able to let go of their hearts, so they came to Tianning Temple to ask for peace of mind.

Cao Shi thought about it for a while, and said to Mama Dai: "Mom, go and see, if it's convenient for the second wife, I'll go over and sit down." ”

Mama Dai went. After a stick of incense, Mao's mother came.

Mao's mother has a round face and a rich state, and she doesn't look like the housekeeper mother of the general's family, but looks like an old lady in someone's family. She came in and saluted, "Our wife said." You are worried, but she made a vow, and she will not be out of the wing room for 7749 days, so I have to ask you to take the ladies over to talk. ”

"Mom is polite, I have three juniors here, and I think we used to give a gift to the second wife." After saying that, he got up and straightened his clothes and hair, and took a few of them over.

The second wife was in her early thirties, and she was kind and kind, and when she saw Zhenqi, she laughed: "Wu Niang is here?" Come and sit next to me. ”

Zhenqi glanced at Cao's and saw Cao's nodding, so she said hello generously, and a maid moved a small stool next to Mrs. Fu, and she sat down.

Second Mrs. Fu and Cao's greeted each other, and after hearing Cao's introduction to Zhen Lin and Zhen Xuan, they smiled and took two strings of Buddhist beads: "I came here to stay, and I didn't bring anything good, but these two strings of beads, I invited the abbot to read them, and I will make a meeting gift for you." ”

Zhen Lin and Zhen Xuan thanked each other and accepted it.

Second Mrs. Fu took a sip of vegetarian tea and said with a smile: "It's also a coincidence, the fifth wife also came to Tianning Temple to offer incense." ”

"Isn't that a coincidence?" Cao Shi also smiled and glanced at Zhenqi, "This girl has a pair of powerful eyes, saying that she saw Mao's mother." ”

Second Mrs. Fu glanced at Zhenqi with a smile in her eyes: "This is thinking about us, and I can see it at a glance." ”

As she was talking, Mao's mother came in and said that Grandma Fu had sent something.

"This temple is not as good as at home, I see that the weather is getting colder and colder, I am afraid that it will snow tonight, and the second aunt will not be good if she gets cold, so I will send some quilts."

The voice came in first, and when the bright face peeked in from outside the door, the words were finished.

Grandma Fu was not prepared for outsiders in the house, so she was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Does the second aunt have a guest?" I'm being rude to do that. ”

Second Mrs. Fu smiled and beckoned to her: "What is rude or not, it is all my own family." ”

Grandma Fu looked at it and saw Zhenqi beside Second Mrs. Fu, Zhenqi, Zhen Lin, and Zhen Xuan had already stood up and greeted her.

Grandma Fu smiled, and soon hung it up again: "It's Wu Niang, you also come to incense?" ”

Zhenqi nodded, and Second Mrs. Fu said, "Mrs. Pei Wu brought a few children to Shangxiang, and it happened to meet her, and you can meet it too." ”

Grandma Fu responded, lowered her eyes and greeted the Cao family, the Cao family is an elder, and she had to give a meeting gift, but she didn't prepare when she came out, so she had to take off a white jade bracelet on her hand and give it away.

Grandma Fu collected the things, asked the mother-in-law to hand over the bedding to Mao's mother, and left a sentence that there were many things at home, so she went back first.

Cao Shi saw that although she had a smile on her face, she was cold and indifferent, and felt that it was inappropriate, and when she came out of Mrs. Fu's room and returned to her side, she pulled Zhenqi and asked, "How is Grandma's temper?" ”
