One stroke at a time.

Copying scriptures is more calming than ordinary writing.

The sandalwood was lit in the western room, and the smell was not strong, faint.

During this period, Xiang Xi opened the curtain and came in to deliver tea, and saw that Zhen Xuan's whole mind was on the scriptures, so he didn't bother, put down his things and went out.

The old ancestor squinted and lay on the Luohan bed, his back against the pillow embroidered with evergreen, and his legs were covered with a thick blanket.

Hearing the voice, the old ancestor raised his eyes and glanced at it, and when he saw that it was Xiang Xi, he asked, "How did Yiqing's daughter-in-law copy it?" ”

Xiang Xi stepped forward lightly, and his voice was also low: "The second grandmother copied it very carefully, and the slave maid was afraid of disturbing the second grandmother, so she didn't come forward to look." ”

The old ancestor smiled and nodded: "It's a person who can calm down." ”

Zhen Xuan copied the scriptures in the Eternal Life Residence, so the maids and women in the courtyard were all light, for fear that one would not pay attention to Zhen Xuan and distract him.

The little maid guarding the door, Xiang Yue, had just left her head, and she was not afraid of the cold, so she sat in the leeward of the door, dozing off with her chin propped up.

Suddenly, she heard a noise outside, and she woke up with a spirit, poked her head out and saw that it was someone from the second room.

Xiang Yue hurriedly got up, straightened her clothes, and trotted out to greet her: "Please second wife, grandmother An." ”

In addition to Zhang and Yang, there was a twenty-eight or nine-year-old woman and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old lady in the car, which Xiang Yue did not recognize.

Zhang led the people inside, and as soon as he entered the door, he noticed that the Changsheng Residence was extremely quiet, and asked Xiang Yue in a low voice, "Where is the ancestor taking a nap?" ”

Xiang Yue shook her head: "Back to the second wife, it's not the ancestor who is taking a nap, it's the second grandmother who is copying the scriptures for the ancestor." ”

Zhang was stunned. Said to the woman: "My ancestors believed in Buddhism. Since Yiqing's daughter-in-law is copying scriptures. Let's be lighter, too. ”

The woman smiled and said, "It should be." ”

The young lady pursed her lips and snorted at the tip of her nose.

The maid guarding outside the main house was a recognizable person, with a smile in her eyes, and said in a suppressed voice: "It's the eldest wife of the Yang family and the second lady who are here, and the slave maid is going to report to the ancestors." ”

Xiang Yi came out and welcomed everyone in.

After each of them invited him and sat down, Mrs. Yang smiled and said to the old ancestor: "Old ancestor, I haven't seen you for a year." You look more and more energetic, more and more like an old birthday star. ”

The old ancestor waved his hand and said, "Wherever you are, you are all old women, and you young people are not as good as you." Having said that, his face was extremely happy, "You came to see Li Qing's daughter-in-law?" But look carefully, our family has not treated you badly. ”

"Look at what the ancestor said, marry my sister to the Xia family, what is there to worry about in the family, the ancestor treats his daughter-in-law as a daughter. Everybody knows that. After Mrs. Yang finished her flattering words, she pulled Yang to look at it again. I see you, but you are better than when you were in the boudoir, and your face is a little more rounded, and you are more and more blessed. ”

These words openly praised the Yang family, and secretly took good care of the Kuaxia family.

"No wonder everyone likes you, this mouth is like honey." The old ancestor shook his head while laughing, and said to Xiang Xi, "Go and see Yiqing's daughter-in-law, if it's convenient, come and see it." ”

Zhang asked, "Isn't it copying the scriptures?" ”

The old ancestor glanced at the Western clock in the room and said, "I've been copying it for more than an hour, and it's time to take a break." ”

When the ancestor said so, the Zhang family didn't say anything more.

Xiang Xi went to the west room, and seeing that Zhen Xuan was still with her head down, she hesitated for a moment whether to interrupt.

Fortunately, he didn't hesitate for too long, Zhen Xuan raised his head and asked, "Who is here?" ”

"The sister-in-law of the eldest grandmother's mother's family brought the young lady to visit the family."

Zhen Xuan lowered his head and wrote a few words, then put down the pen: "Just finished copying this product." Put it here first, and then collect it when it's dry. ”

As Xiang Xi entered the East Room, he saw the old ancestor and the Zhang family, and was about to meet Mrs. Yang, but she was held up first.

"This is the great-granddaughter-in-law of the old ancestor's new welcome to the door? Tsk, good appearance, well-behaved, good background, the ancestors are really a blessing. ”

The old ancestor smiled and introduced to Zhen Xuan: "This is Li Qing's daughter-in-law's sister-in-law, who is well-known in Shaozhou and Yongzhou, and many officials and wives like to talk to her. ”

When Zhen Xuan heard this, she smiled and called "Sister-in-law Yang".

Before the words fell, someone interjected: "Pei family? The Pei family where the brothers overtook the birth and the sisters robbed the relatives? What a good background. ”

Zhen Xuan's back was cold, and when she turned her head to look, the second young lady of the Yang family looked at her with a provocative expression.

All the furniture in the room had sunken faces.

It's obvious that he came to visit relatives, but he provoked such a topic, which is unbelievable.

Mrs. Yang didn't seem to expect Yang Erniang to speak, she still said something like this, she glared at Yang Erniang fiercely, and shouted in a low voice: "What are you talking about!" ”

"Why am I talking nonsense?" Yang Erniang pursed her lips and pointed at Zhen Xuan, "Tell me yourself, I'm talking nonsense?" How many girls are there in the sedan chair of your Pei family for the second time? ”

Zhen Xuan's hand on her side slowly clenched, maybe she had copied the Buddhist scriptures just now, and her mind was still very calm at this time, and because of this, she thought of something different.

It is no secret that Zhen Lin was divorced before getting on the sedan chair, to put it bigger, everyone in the whole dynasty knows it. But now that Zhen Lin has received the holy decree, as long as the emperor doesn't care, and the seven princes don't care, where can it be the turn of others to put their beaks.

And there are indeed practical things to do in the hegemony of production; Zhen Ying snatched her relatives, and it was not false at all. It's just that only the Pei family will know about these things, how can outsiders know?

The affairs of Shenzhou are family affairs, whether those shops are held in the clan or in the hands of Zhenxuan, they are all closed. If you want others to come and see, it should be the fourth room to help the spirit return to Beijing, and the eighth old lady will return to his roots in Yongzhou to retire, so there is nothing wrong with the Pei family's business in Shenzhou being handed over to Zhen Luo to take care of.

And the disputes between Zhen Xuan and Zhen Ying are related to the reputation of their daughter's family, who dares to talk nonsense? Except for the Pei family and Yongliang Palace, who would know that Zhen Xuan and Yan Mu'an had discussed marriage? It's just that it was an accident outside the Shangyuan Nongxiang Pavilion that year, and Zhen Ying's entry into the palace was the face of the two families.

The things in these big mansions, even the social circles in Yongzhou are all in the fog, no one knows who, Yang Erniang lives in Shaozhou, how did she know this?

"Who did you listen to?" Zhen Xuan asked.

"If you want people to know, unless you don't do it yourself, those messy things in your Pei family are not a secret." The more Yang Erniang spoke, the more proud she became, although her eyes were cold, they were full of mocking smiles, "But do you want me to tell you a few more things?" ”

Seeing Yang Erniang like this, Zhen Xuan was even more reluctant to deal with her, some people are like this, the more you ignore her, the more rampant she becomes. Zhen Xuan turned to look at Mrs. Yang and said lightly: "Sister-in-law Yang, this is the reputation of you and my sister-in-law. ”

Mrs. Yang's face turned red and looked at Zhen Xuan in a sneer. She often goes in and out of the backyards of various houses, relying on her eyes, knowing what she can and can't say, and what she sees as if she doesn't see it. Yang Erniang said that she should not open her mouth regardless of whether it is true or not, but she has already opened her mouth, and she is thinking about how to get past it, but who knows that Zhen Xuan gave her such a sentence coldly.

The parties looked not annoyed or complained, and looked like they were thinking about them, Mrs. Yang held her breath in her heart, and she couldn't go up or down. She secretly glanced at the old ancestor, her brows were locked with a look of anger, her stupid girl thought that this anger was directed at Zhen Xuan, obviously it was aimed at them, if she didn't know what to do, but it would affect the position of the Yang family in the Xia family.

Mrs. Yang looked apologetic and said with a smile: "Ancestor, the child's nonsense, I asked her to apologize to the second grandmother." Second grandma, you take care of ......"

Before Zhen Xuan could express her position, Yang Erniang stood up with a pout, and said hurriedly: "How can I talk nonsense, it's obviously true." Don't say it's me, Yurao and Caifeng all know it, and it's not a secret among Miss Shaozhou! ”

Yurao? Picking?

Zhen Xuan thought about it carefully, but found some impressions.

The former prefect of the Han family's fourth mother's name seems to be Yurao, the year before last, the prefect of Han was transferred, did not bring his wife and daughter, and sent them back to his hometown, this hometown turned out to be in Shaozhou?

And who is Caifeng?

How did the big and small things in Yongzhou become the talk of the young ladies in Shaozhou after dinner?

Zhang has been sitting without expressing his position, hearing this, his face was cloudy, he glanced at Yang coldly, and said to Mrs. Yang: "The wife of the in-laws is worthy of walking in Yongzhou and Shaozhou all the year round, and the affairs of Yongzhou are so clear, but I don't know, the young ladies in Shaozhou City don't need nuns to be red and read women's rings?" ”

Yang is like a pins and needles, she knows her mother-in-law's temper, and she has never spoken harshly, let alone scolded anyone so harshly. Yang Erniang's words naturally provoked the great suspicion of the ancestors, otherwise, the Zhang family would not be so angry.

The Yang family didn't say anything to Yang Erniang, but only asked Mrs. Yang: "Sister-in-law, which girls are Yurao and Caifeng?" ”

"Yurao is the fourth mother of the former Han Governor of Yongzhou, and Caifeng is the fifth mother of our Shaozhou Mu family......" Mrs. Yang said extremely embarrassed.

Zhen Xuan suddenly realized that since it was Mu Wuniang, she had suffered her losses back then, and it was not unusual to say that she was anything behind her back. Han Siniang had overheard the conversation between her and Zhen Ying and Su Manyue at that time, and because she had a father who was a prefect, she didn't know what messy things she had overheard and publicized it everywhere.

Mrs. Yang is repentant at this time, the Yang family is just a merchant, she goes in and out of various mansions, and naturally hopes that her daughter can have a few more friends with young ladies, seeing that she gets along well with several young ladies on weekdays, she didn't ask much, after all, the ladies have their own topics, how can she be embarrassed to say more about a mother.

Who knew that Han Yurao and Mu Caifeng were not good things, talking about other people's things with such a long tongue, which family in this world couldn't tell some stories in the backyard, but they had to hide and hide, and they couldn't see the light. Those two little hooves actually taught Yang Erniang badly!

Mrs. Yang was about to ask Yang Erniang, but Zhen Xuan suddenly looked at Yang Erniang and said, "It turned out to be the two of them, how much did they tell you about our Miss Yongzhou?" How much did you tell them about you? (To be continued......)
