Chapter 103: First Arrival at Kannon Temple
In the early morning of June 16, the sky was bright, but the Shuai Mansion was already very lively.
The old lady wants to go to the Guanyin Courtyard and pray for blessings, except for the second room Shen's frailty, the other courtyards are all going to follow.
Even Xiao Yijun, who was in the military aircraft camp and had not come back for a long time, came back this time to personally escort the female dependents in the mansion, which shows how much importance the Shuai Mansion attaches to this trip.
A few days ago, because of Xiao Jinyu's proposal, the old lady sent the invitation to all the noble mansions in Beijing.
For such a grand event, from the old lady to the ladies in the Shuai Mansion, they all dressed solemnly, and they did not dare to slack off, lest they lose the face of the Xiao family.
Even Xiao Jinxuan, who has always dressed coldly, wore a garnet-red peony pattern Yueluo skirt today.
In order to make it easier to leave the house, Xiao Jinxuan also took Wen Xin with her this time, and when she left the Forsythia Courtyard, she stopped and asked:
"Wen Xin, have you brought all the things, those miscellaneous things, I don't know which one to use, don't forget to bring them."
Hearing this, Wen Xin smiled, and then handed the bamboo box in his hand to Xiao Jinxuan.
"Jinxuan, don't worry, you should bring nothing less, I really don't know where you got these things, it's really weird."
Xiao Jinxuan smiled, and instructed everyone a few words, and with little effort, she arrived in front of the mansion, and then got into her own carriage.
When everyone was all together and the carriage began to move forward, Xiao Jinxuan held the scroll in her hand and leaned against the window to look at it quietly.
Zhu Xin and Chi Ling, who were sitting in the same car, knew that at this time, Xiao Jinxuan didn't like to be disturbed the most, so they tried their best not to make a sound.
After about an hour, the carriage stopped, and Chi Ling, who had closed his eyes and breathed, opened his eyes in an instant, and then leaned over to look out.
"Miss, Guanyin Temple has arrived, I'll help you get off the horse."
After Chi Ling finished speaking, he jumped out of the carriage first, and then reached out to help Xiao Jinxuan out of the carriage, and casually pulled the bamboo heart down.
After Xiao Jinxuan stood firmly, she looked up at the Guanyin Courtyard, which was quite large, and with the bells in the courtyard, and the scent of sandalwood around her, it really made people feel calm and peaceful.
But Xiao Jinxuan, the quiet and peaceful aura on her face only stayed for a moment, and her expression returned to a cold appearance this time.
No one likes it, she keeps calm all the time, and she can't be at peace for a moment, but if she relaxes her vigilance, I'm afraid it won't be long before this little life is saved.
Therefore, this temple is indeed solemn, peaceful and peaceful, but it still can't make Xiao Jinxuan completely relaxed, and her state still maintains her usual calmness and planning.
This Guanyin Temple, originally by the rich nobles in the Beijing Division, was built, so it is not open to the public on weekdays, and the ladies of various provinces enter the incense.
Therefore, when I came to the temple and arranged the exquisite garden, I saw all the ladies and ladies dressed luxuriously, and ordinary people could not see a single one here.
The blessing will be prayed for three consecutive days, so everyone who comes here is going to stay overnight in the courtyard, so Zhu Xin has already gone to clean up the wing, and Xiao Jinxuan took Chi Ling to walk around in the garden to take a look.
Xiao Jinxuan deliberately avoided it from the moment she came in, and she was used to being cold, so she really didn't like to join in the fun.
Even if they are reluctant to integrate, it is estimated that with these, the young ladies who have been pampered and raised in the Jingshi Mansion since they were children will not talk to each other, so Xiao Jinxuan does not plan to dislike people.
But she didn't go to join in the fun, but there happened to be someone who wanted to take the initiative to provoke her.
Not long after entering the garden, Xiao Jinyu, who was talking with more than a dozen people and Beppu's daughter, caught a glimpse of Xiao Jinxuan out of the corner of her eye, and then saw joy flashing in her eyes, and hurried over.
And Xiao Jinxuan, who was talking to Chi Ling in a low voice, suddenly felt that her wrist had been grabbed, and when she looked back in surprise, she saw Xiao Jinyu smiling at her
Xiao Jinxuan's surprise was in full view, but Xiao Jinyu didn't seem to see it, but was more intimate, grabbed the other party's arm, and couldn't help but say, pulled Xiao Jinxuan, and came to the daughters of various mansions.
"Sisters, this is my sister-in-law, her name is Jinxuan, she came from Yangzhou, this sister has not been with me since she was a child, so after coming to Beijing, I love her very much, sisters, you are not allowed to bully, otherwise I will not agree."
As soon as she finished saying this, Xiao Jinyu also glanced at Xiao Jinxuan with her drowning eyes, and anyone who looked at her like this would feel that her sister-in-law really loved her young sister and was generous and decent.
Without a trace, he slowly pulled out his pulled arm, and Xiao Jinxuan also looked at Xiao Jinyu quietly with a light smile on the corner of her mouth.
The other party would suddenly be so close to her, and she was surprised at first, but then Xiao Jinxuan figured out what the other party had in mind.
On that day, Xiao Jinyu proposed that the old lady invite the daughters of the ladies of various provinces to get together, in order to clarify in person, that day, when the flower party was held, she did not push her sister, all the rumors were all bad words and slander, so as to save her reputation.
And now in front of everyone, it is not surprising that Xiao Jinyu will be so close, if she doesn't make a look of sisterhood, she will not wash herself white.
Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Jinyu's gesture came out, a beautiful woman wearing a blue skirt immediately said in surprise:
"Sister Jinyu, I didn't expect that your sisters' relationship is so good, but how did I hear that on the day of the flower party, you deliberately pushed your sister-in-law into the flowers, which was self-defeating, and disfigured your appearance, many people have seen this, by the way, your wound is healed, but I have been worried about you for a long time."
As soon as she finished saying this, the girl in the blue skirt covered her mouth and chuckled, her expression full of mockery.
There was still a kind smile on her face, but Xiao Jinyu couldn't wait to eat this girl in a blue skirt.
This blue-dressed girl, named Huang Ruoqi, is the daughter of Huang Rui, the imperial historian, and she is also very good-looking among the celebrities in Beijing.
This good-looking person, especially a woman, can't stand it the most, that is, his appearance is compared to others, which is even more painful than killing her.
And Xiao Jinyu's appearance and talent, in Beijing, Huang Ruoqi saw each other, naturally it was not pleasing to the eye.
Therefore, these two, the leaders among the celebrities in Beijing, naturally become enemies, and every time they get together, they will inevitably have a good verbal fight.
And this time, Xiao Jinyu, who has always been-for-tat with Huang Ruoqi, rarely did not fight back, but put on a look of pity for me.
"Sister Huang said yes, I don't know who it is, I can't see Jinyu like this, I have my heart behind my back, and I slandered her, that day at the flower party, it was because Jinxuan herself was unstable on her feet, so she fell to the flowers, and I just kindly went to help, but my strength was too small, so I fell together, as for whether I hurt my face, Sister Huang will see for herself, Jinyu is not good, so you can bother to remember."
After saying this, Xiao Jinyu approached Huang Ruoqi with a provocative, almost flawless face in her eyes, and let the other party look at her confidently.
Xiao Jinyu's scar is actually not good, but she dares to be so calm, mainly because of the bangs in front of her forehead, which are now thick and dense by her, even if the wind blows, don't want to completely lift the bangs, so judging from her appearance alone, she is still the first beauty in Beijing.
Seeing Huang Ruoqi, glared angrily at her own actions, Xiao Jinyu smiled with satisfaction, but she no longer entangled with the other party, and took an elegant lotus step to return to Xiao Jinxuan's side.
"Sister, what is the truth about the flower party that day, but only you know, grandmother taught us that sisters should work together and work together, so you must help my sister tell the truth and give me justice."
Looking at Xiao Jinyu, the eyes full of hints, the corners of Xiao Jinxuan's mouth curled, but she turned her head and avoided the other party's gaze.
This is the case in the previous life, no matter when, Xiao Jinyu has to maintain her own flawless image, even if the other party is behind her back, doing all the things she has done sinisterly, but once she is in front of people, she will become a pure white lotus again.
I remember that in my last life, when Xiao Jinxuan arrived at the Shuai Mansion, she knew that she had to marry instead, but Xiao Jinxuan refused at first.
It was this sister-in-law who first failed to coax, but then turned into coercion and intimidation, not only cut off her three meals, but also locked her in the firewood room, and did not allow her to come out of it for seven days.
And Xiao Jinxuan at that time, weak and unassertive, naturally gave in in the end, when her marriage with Ji Lingfeng was completely decided, I don't know who leaked the news, saying that she was forced by Xiao Jinyu and did not take the initiative to marry herself.
The scene at that time was also very similar to now, Xiao Jinyu's reputation was also rumored to be very bad, and many people gossiped behind their backs.
And at that time, Xiao Jinyu ran to her, wept bitterly to admit her mistakes, and hoped to ask for her forgiveness, and said that forcing her to marry Ji Lingfeng was also to get her a high marriage, all for the good of her sister.
But at that time, Xiao Jinxuan was shallow, so she was really soft-hearted, and she believed the other party's nonsense, and at the instigation of Xiao Jinyu, she helped the other party clarify when she met someone, and praised this sister-in-law.
As a result, Xiao Jinyu, whose reputation was damaged, with the help of Xiao Jinxuan, the victim, the reputation of generosity and virtue completely spread in Beijing, and he was out of the limelight.
And the night before coming to Guanyin Temple, that is, yesterday, Xiao Jinyu went to Forsythia Temple in person, and explained that she didn't want to push Xiao Jinxuan at the flower party that day, but just wanted to joke with her.
Then Xiao Jinyu, like in her previous life, said to Xiao Jinxuan with tears that she cared about each other so much, but she was not good at expressing it, and asked Xiao Jinxuan not to be separated from her, and she must remember that they are sisters and must support each other in the Shuai Mansion.
And Xiao Jinyu cried for a while before she explained her true intention, that is, to ask Xiao Jinxuan to clarify in public that everything was a misunderstanding on the day of the flower meeting, and cooperate with her to make a sisterly appearance.
After explaining everything, Xiao Jinyu even instructed before leaving, if Xiao Jinxuan could say a few words in public and thank her for respecting her, it would be even better.
For this sister-in-law's request, Xiao Jinxuan had rare patience, listened to it all, and then agreed without hesitation, but only after sending away the happy Xiao Jinyu that a sarcastic smile appeared on her face.
This ironic laugh is half a laugh at Xiao Jinyu, whimsical, daydreaming.
The other half is Xiao Jinxuan, laughing at her own temperament, it seems that after coming to Jingshi, she has become soft-hearted.
She seems to be too merciful to treat this sister-in-law, otherwise how dare the other party treat her as a fool, and this time, she will definitely beat Xiao Jinyu and make her afraid, and let the other party know how serious the consequences of fooling her are.
