Chapter 18: Travel
It has only been three days since Bai Huanhua became a monk, and the girls in Mu Yuanju have just come to their senses, but it is time for Bai Huanhua to return to the door.
The eldest sister has been married, Bai Huanru's marriage has already been settled, and the wedding date has been set at the beginning of the year, which is the eighth day of October this year. Although there are still many days, Bai Huanru has already entered the state of preparing for marriage, and has pushed most of the banquet invitations, and Mu Yuanju Tangxiang Courtyard has two points and one line every day, and the life has to be more stable and stable.
In this way, there is no problem for others, but it is just that the poor girl Qiuzhi has no fun going to other houses to find a girl, and she can only nag at a spring court every day.
As soon as he heard that Bai Huanhua had returned to the door that day, Qiu Zhi took the initiative to ask Ying to follow Bai Huanru to Tangxiang Courtyard, and before leaving, he specially instructed Chun Ting, who was half-paralyzed in bed, a few words, and then left happily.
In the evening, Qiuzhi came back happily, and there was no one to listen to her, so she could only go to Chunting to chatter.
"It's a shame that you didn't go today, let me tell you, the new aunt looks honest, hahahaha." Aki Zhi began to laugh as soon as he said a word, lying on the side of the bed with his stomach covered and laughing so much that he couldn't stop laughing.
The new aunt's surname is Meng Minghe, and Bai Qiqing, the eldest son of the Anguo Mansion, was raised in the same year, and now he is the head of the Ministry of Officials, who is twenty and three years old, how can the young talent be regarded as the first three words, it is not a promising but more than enough for a favored concubine of An Guogong. Bai Huanhua's family business is not a low marriage, as long as she is willing to manage her life well, and An Guogong is behind her, it will be smooth sailing in the future.
But Bai Huanhua obviously didn't think so, even if Meng He was successful and high, he couldn't please Bai Huanhua at all, and he was defeated on his face.
With a Chinese face, thick lips, small eyes, and thick eyebrows, this freshly baked Aunt Meng looks like he is on the upper middle, which is all a compliment to him, but he really can't cater to the aesthetics of Bai Huanru, who has been accustomed to seeing his father's and brother's beauty since he was a child.
"Our eldest girl is really a delicate flower folded in the mud this time, you haven't seen the eldest girl's face today, as black as the bottom of the pot." Qiu Zhi sneered, "I just went to Yaoshan Residence to hang around, and the eldest girl really just went to Tangxiang Courtyard to ask Mrs. for a peace, and she didn't have a cup of tea before she ran to Aunt Tong's." Listening to the little maid on the other end, she cried until her uncle came to invite someone, and she didn't know what her wife thought was angry with her. ”
Chunting is holding a travelogue, these days Qiuzhi stared at her and didn't tell her to do this or that, even last night, it was Qiuzhi's turn to keep vigil in Chunting, and it was boring every day. I'm going to hear Aki Eda talking about these things, but I'm interested.
"And then, my uncle didn't say anything?" Chunting asked.
Qiu Zhi thought for a while, "I probably didn't say anything, I don't always want to inquire about the things in the front yard, I only heard that the second young master and the third young master are going to pour my aunt's wine today, but the eldest young master read a few glasses for my aunt in the friendship of classmates, and when the girl came back, Mrs. was still talking about it." ”
Before Qiu Zhi could inquire enough about Bai Huanhua's return to the door, something came that made her even more excited.
The three girls of the Han Mansion posted a post to Bai Huanru, saying that they invited her to go to the Hanshui Temple on the 28th of this month to pray for incense, and she would stay for a few days. Han San's maiden name is a Ya character, and Bai Huanru can be regarded as a handkerchief, and she will be her sister-in-law in six months. What's more, Chen was also invited this time, and the old lady of the Han Mansion also had to work.
Qiu Zhi looked forward to it for many days, and even prepared which set of clothes to bring, but on the day of departure, Bai Huanru ordered the winter cocoon and the spring court and the two followed.
Chunting was also a little stunned, Bai Huanru was used to spoiling the girls under her hands, knowing that Qiu Zhi's temperament was idle, whether it was going out for a banquet in the past, or going on an outing, Qiu Zhi was missing. But this time, not only did Lian Qiuzhi not bring it, but Lian Lianpei also stayed at home, which is really incomprehensible.
Qiu Zhi felt a little aggrieved, but she felt that Bai Huanru must have a reason for doing this, so she shrank in the corner alone and was sullen for a while, so she ran over to help Chunting pack her luggage.
Before leaving, he grabbed Chunting's hand pitifully, "I heard that there are many novelties outside the Hanshui Temple, don't forget to bring some for me when you come back." ”
Chunting smiled and agreed, and then followed the winter cocoon into the carriage.
If Chunting knew what was going to happen on this trip, she didn't know if she could still walk into that carriage so calmly, she would hesitate, but she would probably still make the same choice.
Hanshui Temple is on a mountain outside the capital, it takes nearly two hours from Beijing, the carriage of the Han family starts in front, and the first two cars are Mrs. Han, Mrs. Han and Han Ya. Originally, Han Ya was in a car with Second Mrs. Han, but she couldn't stand the second Mrs. Han's nagging in her ear halfway, so she came to take a car with Bai Huanru.
Han Ya leaned over to the window, lifted the curtain and looked out, then turned her head and winked at Bai Huanru, "My third brother is in front, the one who is riding a horse, Sister Ru, have you seen it?" ”
Bai Huanru blushed, glanced at Han Ya, raised her hand and lowered the curtain, "Which noble girl has you like you, you can't be calmer, in a few months, you will be a big girl." ”
Han Ya felt even more bored when she heard it, "I originally wanted to ask Sister Ru to be a praiser, but at that time, Sister Ru must have been too busy to take a break." But Sister Ru is going to be my sister-in-law. ”
Bai Huanru was about to reach out and twist her mouth when she heard this, "How can you talk such nonsense, see if I don't tear your mouth apart!" ”
The two girls laughed all the way, and when they got off at the foot of the mountain, they were dignified and virtuous famous girls.
Hanshan Temple is located in the middle of the mountain, that is, no matter how squeamish these nobles are on weekdays, they will have to climb the mountain step by step.
Han Ya is the most squeamish one, and she is a little petty after only walking a few steps, it can be seen that the old lady of her family is still holding the maid's hand with a dragon's head cane to go up, so she gritted her teeth and persevered.
Chunting is used to doing farm work at home, climbing a mountain is not a problem, the winter cocoon on the side is not in good condition, although the sun is not big, and the body has also changed into a light spring shirt, but in the end it is still the girl's house, and the physical strength is a little weak, and the whole process is Chunting supporting Bai Huanru.
After walking for a short time, Han Sangongzi silently came over and stretched out his hand to Bai Huanru with a red face, "If the white girl can't hold on, just help Xiaosheng." ”
Spring really wants to ask Han Sangongzi, are you a dead man when you are a slave? Our girl's hand is still on my hand, and it's okay for the slave to help her girl climb a mountain road, so don't take such a blatant robbery.
Bai Huanru was also a little embarrassed, politely rejected Han Sui's proposal, and continued to walk up holding Chunting's hand.
Although the mountain road is rugged, there is always a moment when you come to the end. In front of the temple gate, the abbot of the temple, Master Kongwen, greeted him in person, and Mrs. Han stepped forward to say a few words to Kongwen, and then a little novice came out and led everyone to the backyard room.
Mrs. Han's wing room is in the middle, and the left and right are Mrs. Han and Han Ya, and the Chen family is next to Mrs. Han. Bai Huanru's room is on the westernmost side.
The wing room is not big, but the things are very complete, and the cleaning is also clean. Winter Cocoon and Chun Ting cleaned up a little, and they heard someone knocking on the door outside, and when they opened the door, they saw that it was Ruoqing beside the Chen family, who had come to invite Bai Huanru to eat.
The taste of the rice in Hanshui Temple is really not flattering, and Bai Huanru only used a lot of chopsticks to put it down. Originally, Bai Huanru planned to go back to the room to rest after lunch, but Han Ya had to drag her to the backyard, saying that the peach blossoms would bloom just right, and she would be out of sight later.
Chun Ting took advantage of the inattention of others to come to the side of the winter cocoon, and muttered: "This Han San girl is too energetic, she doesn't rest, our girl still has to rest." ”
Winter Cocoon poked Chunting's forehead, "Don't learn from Qiuzhi's way of chewing the root of his tongue behind his back, if it weren't for Qiuzhi being too impetuous, how could it be your turn to come today, it's not that you are more stable than that girl." If you don't want to follow, I'll follow the girl, and you can go down the hill and play by yourself. ”
Chunting stuck out his tongue, didn't say anything more, and honestly followed Bai Huanru to the backyard.
Along the way, Han Ya's mouth never stopped, two of the three sentences praised Han Sui, Bai Huanru just smiled silently, and in the end, Han Ya herself was embarrassed first.
"Sister Ru, you don't know, when my mother came back from your house that day, my brother looked the same as before, in fact, he was so happy that he didn't sleep for half the night." Han Ya held Bai Huanru's hand, "Grandmother is also very happy, she has been looking forward to it for many years." ”
The two walked as they talked, and when they looked up, they saw an unexpected person.
Bai Huanhua stood under a peach tree with the maid's hand, and when she saw Bai Huanru and Han Ya coming, a gentle smile fell on her face, but this kind of smile on Bai Huanhua's face felt a little unreal for Chun Ting, who was used to seeing her previous flamboyant and domineering appearance.
Bai Huanhua wore a moon-seeing white embroidered butterfly pattern gown this time, with a bamboo blue horse-faced skirt, her hair was pulled in the style of a woman, a gentleman's wood was inserted between her temples, and jade beads were hung on the tassels on her head, which made a tinkling sound when she swayed. Looking like this, I just feel that this is an elegant and noble fairy-like figure.
Bai Huanru opened her mouth first to say hello, "I haven't seen my sister for a few days, and my sister is much brighter again. ”
Bai Huanru nodded reservedly, "What a coincidence, my sister also came to pray for blessings?" Why haven't I heard my sister talk about it, if I had known that my sister was coming, I would have walked with my sister. ”
"Today is also an invitation from the aunt of the Han family, and my sister didn't expect to meet my sister here." Bai Huanru chuckled, "Sister, how many days do you want to stay?" I don't know which room it is in? ”
