36. Who called her a widow?
Xiaozhi sat on the edge of the bed, his brows furrowed tightly: "That nightmare again?" This time it seems to be more powerful than usual, we can't wake up after calling you hundreds of times - the people from Ning Xuantang have come to urge you several times, tell you to hurry up! β
Zheng Xian'er nodded apprehensively, but heard Lan Xiang sneering beside her: "Nightmare? I think what she did was clearly a spring dream, right? What a shout! β
"It's a spring dream," Zheng Xian'er raised her head and looked at her coldly, "Taking advantage of the crowds today, you go ahead and talk to the old lady and the guests, and see if you die or I die!" β
Lan Xiang glared at her angrily and lowered her head.
Zheng Xian'er slowly got out of bed with Xiaozhi's hand, and sneered: "I have always been lazy to care about you, but I have made you kick your nose in the face!" What's the matter, you also want to learn from Guixiang and find a good way out of the house? β
"I won't talk about it later." Lan Xiang shuddered and hurriedly knelt down.
Don't blame her for admitting it, she was really frightened by Guixiang's matter.
It turned out that Guixiang had been unclear with Lou Min when she was a second-class girl in Shensiyuan before, and this time she was bumped into by Zhu Jinlan within two days of going back to serve, and she sent someone to sell her teeth on the spot - coincidentally, she was sold into Goolan Courtyard, and the future fate is already conceivable.
Seeing that Lan Xiang was frightened, Zheng Xian'er got up and washed her face indiscriminately, and said to Xiaozhi: "Send Chun Xing to Ning Xuan Hall to say in a while - I have to go to the ancestral hall to kneel for two hours first, and I have to ask my wife and two sisters-in-law for the hospitality." β
Xiaozhi frowned: "So lazy, aren't you afraid of being scolded?" I'll have to answer the order in a while! β
Zheng Xian'er sneered: "What kind of scolding did I get? I'm a widow, I set up a memorial arch, can't I cry my husband? It's a man's business, and I don't have to show up! From now on, I am also a person with a seal, as long as I go to Ning Xuan Hall to meet a few old feudal lords with heads and faces, it will not be rude. β
Xiaozhi thought about it for a while, and did as she was told, but when she turned around, she saw that Zheng Xian'er had already combed her hair in a bun, and went out in plain clothes.
When others saw the guests, they wanted to dress up, but she preferred to wear bald buns and pink powderβwho called her a widow?
Zheng Xian'er has been doing the errand of "kneeling in the ancestral hall" for almost two months, and she is familiar with the road.
Horizontal and vertical do not tire the knees.
It wasn't until near noon, when the three young masters were ordered to send the holy decree to the ancestral hall to worship, that she pretended to kneel once.
The eldest young master, Lou Min, read the holy decree to Zheng Xian'er, and said solemnly: "Third brother and sister, now that you have been blessed by the Holy Lord's grace, you are entitled to be a pleasant person with five qualities, and you are chaste. You should change your past mistakes, self-cultivation and self-reliance, and you must not be negligent again, so that the Lou family will be humiliated and suffered. Do you understand? β
Zheng Xian'er lowered her eyebrows and said respectfully: "Understood." β
Got a fart. - she added secretly in her heart.
Loujia's chastity archway, neither the imperial court issued a table, nor the treasury paid for construction, how much water in it can be imagined. The Lou family has to spend money to buy face, and after several setbacks and reports to the court, the one in the Jinluan Palace is actually willing to send a holy decree to praise her, and by the way, he also gave her a seal, presumably for the sake of the old man Lou's official residence. Otherwise, there are so many women in the world who swear to be chaste, where is her turn to build the archway?
Since this archway is built so-so, she, the "virgin", can naturally be kept so-so. Let's fool each other and get by on the same face!
Zheng Xian'er secretly slandered while raising her head and peeking at Lou Que's face.
Lou Que glanced back at her, but the expression on his face didn't fluctuate for a minute, as if he didn't know her at all.
Zheng Xian'er sneered: What a self-denying and courteous fifth son, a good Lou family who inherits poetry and books!
