Guo Shan wanted to answer Hu Laohan: "Marry your sister." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
But thinking that it was himself who would suffer from this answer, he glared at Hu Laohan fiercely and said, "Are you slandering your master like this?" β
Hu Laohan hurriedly explained: "Master, although their family is of royal blood, it is also a period of distress. Marrying our master is not an insult to their family's identity. β
Guo Shan almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood, he glared at Hu Laohan fiercely, and only after a silent warning did he turn his head, and this time he personally knocked on the door of the Xiao Mansion.
After a long time, the door creaked open.
It was the same Yang girl who opened the door, wearing a light yellow cotton cloak, and a pair of light yellow cotton boots under her feet. Holding the hand stove in one hand, he looked at Guo Shan and Hu Laohan carefully.
She was dressed differently from before, so Hu Laohan had a sense of refreshment, and he was secretly happy in his heart. I looked at the black cloak standing in the snow with a stove in his hand. I think one is graceful and luxurious, and the other is heroic. It's really a golden boy and a girl, a match made in heaven. If you can form a good relationship, you will definitely envy others.
Here, Hu Laohan was pondering his own careful thoughts and looked at Guo Shan and Yang Xiaoniang one by one, and Guo Shan over there also squinted his eyes and carefully pondered Yang's delicate appearance, and then when Yang frowned and stared at him, Guo Shan opened his mouth and smiled: "I'm really sorry, but I just came to bother the little lady again." I have nothing else to do here but to visit the old lady. β
Yang's face changed slightly, and he said with a frosty face: "My ancestor hasn't come back yet, please go back, and I will talk to her when my ancestor comes back." β
Guo Shan heard this and said, "I don't know when the old lady will be able to return, so I'll wait for her outside." β
Yang Shi thought about it for a while, and then said: "Why is it so stubborn as Childe. He shook his head and closed the door instead.
Just when Hu Laohan was disappointed, the door of the mansion opened again, and out came a maid dressed in ayaluo, carrying a food box with a felt on it. first put the food box at the door, and then brought a stove out, and said to Guo Shan and Steward Hu: "The third lady of my family said: The house is full of female dependents, and it is inconvenient to entertain guests. It's really cold outside, so take some wine and food to entertain the son. I beg your pardon for not going anywhere. β
Guo Shan hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and said, "It's the two of me who bothered me." β
The maid saluted, and turned back to close the door.
Steward Hu said, "Master, are we really waiting here?" β
Guo Shan said: "It's useless to just wait, I don't think they will let me see Mrs. Xiao." Since they wouldn't let me see it, I had to find a way to meet it myself. β
Steward Hu asked, "No one led us in, how can we see the old lady?" β
Guo Shan said: "What do you see the difference between Miss Yang's previous clothes and the first time she opened the door?" I guess she wanted to go out with her cloak and the stove in her hand, or she wouldn't have changed her clothes in the house. Let's try our luck, I'm still guarding here, you go and take a look at the corner gate and back door of the Xiao Mansion to see if anyone travels. If anyone does travel, come and call me. β
Steward Hu immediately nodded yes, took the hem of his robe and went down the stone steps and went out of the mezzanine.
Guo Shan was still standing at the door of the Xiao Mansion, holding his hand and not squinting. didn't pay attention to the food box and charcoal stove sent by the Xiao Mansion on the side, and stood in the cold wind ceremony like this.
After about a stick of incense, I saw Steward Hu running out of the mezzanine excitedly. Guo Shan saw that Steward Hu was overjoyed, and he knew that there was good news without asking. Funny: "What are you panicking about? Did I really guess it? β
Steward Hu smiled and said, "Master, there is really movement at the back door." β
Guo Shan hurriedly asked, "Have you seen Mrs. Xiao?" β
Steward Hu hurriedly said: "At that time, the back door was wide open, and three sedan chairs came out together, and there were many maids in a cluster. There are about twenty or thirty people in the group of **, there are too many people, and the old slave can't see or recognize who Mrs. Xiao is. But listening to the owner of the hostel on the side, Mrs. Xiao will go to Yanghua Temple to repay her vows every time the Chinese New Year is approaching. As soon as I heard this, I guessed that Mrs. Xiao must also be in the crowd. β
Guo Shan was stunned, and immediately said: "Then let's not stay here, go to Yanghua Temple in Pingkangfang." β
didn't care about anything else, Guo Shan hurriedly got down the stone steps and got into the carriage.
Hu Laohan took out the red felt from the carriage and immediately sat on the felt and drove the horse.
The Guo family's horses, Shi Jian's horses, were bought from the Hu people of the Xishi Horse Shop. It is superior to the local good horses, and it is not comparable to ordinary crazy horses. After a while, he crossed the street to Pingkangfang, stopped at the middle curve, and tied his horse to a maple tree. The door of Yanghua Temple is wide open, because it is the New Year, there are many people who come to Yanghua Temple to burn incense and make wishes. There are many poor families who seek peace, and many rich families who seek to be rich and noble.
Guo Shan has never burned incense to worship the Buddha, nor has he ever asked God to petition. This time, I came to Yanghua Temple because of something, and I entered the temple gate.
Looking left and right, the people from Xiao Mansion have not yet arrived. He went straight to the hall of the Mahavira and cleaned his hands at the door. Since you have come here, it is better to worship the Buddha.
Let Steward Hu add more than ten sesame oil money, which can be regarded as asking Guo Mansion to be safe within three years.
Seeing that Guo Shan's behavior was polite, rich and compelling, although he did not flatter, he did not dare to slack off. Clasped his hands together and thanked Guo Shan for his generosity, and Guo Shan returned the salute. Then he entered the Daxiong Treasure Hall and bought three sticks of incense to light it. First, the first branch is inserted into the center of the incense burner, and the mouth recites 'offering to the Buddha', and then the other two branches are inserted on the right and left respectively, and the mouth also silently recites 'offering to the Dharma and offering to the Sangha' according to the rules. Then fold your hands.
He burned incense and did not make a wish, but went out of the Daxiong Treasure Hall and waited with Steward Hu.
After a while, I saw a monk talking to a confidant. The acquaintance led the little monk out of the door, and after a while, he brought a group of people to him.
The leader was an old woman holding a Buddha bead on crutches, if it weren't for the Yang family who was waiting for her next to her, Guo Shan would not dare to think that she was the queen of the Sui Dynasty who once overwhelmed the country and the city.
This old woman's body trembled, but she had a kind of compelling majesty. He spoke to the monk very kindly, and then cleaned his hands at the door and entered the Daxiong Treasure Hall.
Except for the Yang family and another little boy who followed her into the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the rest of the people were waiting outside. What is interesting is that at this time, many monks went out from the backyard, and finally took many monks' robes and robes.
The abbot came over to personally repay the vows for Queen Xiao, and the guest over there went down the steps and instructed the guest to go to the dining hall to prepare a meal.
Guo Shan pulled the sleeve of the housekeeper and said with a smile: "Let's go to the dining hall and wait, there is no need to wait here." β
Steward Hu nodded, asked where the Zhaoke Dining Hall went, and then hurriedly followed Guo Shan to the Dining Hall.
The hall of Yanghua Temple is very large, and there are many pilgrims eating fasting in it. Zhaoke led Guo Shan and Steward Hu to find a clean place to sit down in the corner of the wall, and went to prepare a meal.
Guo Shan waited with a hand stove, and he didn't panic when the meal came up. After waiting for about a stick of incense, the Zhaitang had come and gone several waves of pilgrims before finally waiting for the people of the Xiao Mansion.
But not all of them came, but a few women of status came in with Queen Xiao in their arms.
Zhike had already prepared a meal and a table, just waiting for them to arrive.
Compared with a few Hu cakes and a bowl of gruel from Guo Shan and Steward Hu, the fasting meal given to Empress Xiao by the monks of Yanghua Temple was much more delicious. It can be seen that Empress Xiao is a frequent visitor to Yanghua Temple, and she is also a big guest.
Also fasting with Empress Xiao was Yang, who found a stool and sat down. She didn't look at the people around her, but she still saw Guo Shan in the corner at a glance.
Guo Shan did not hide himself, but picked up the water cup and raised it at the Yang family, smiling slightly. There was a touch of pride in the politeness, so much so that Yang's little brows frowned slightly.
She never expected Guo Shan to appear here, but it was not difficult to guess the purpose of Guo Shan's trip. Seeing that Guo Shan behaved contemptuously towards her, he was slightly angry in his heart. Because it was not good to have a seizure, he had to ignore Guo Shan.
Although Guo Shan was bored, he was not annoyed. Unhurriedly, he took the cake and took a bite and looked at the people in the dining hall.
Steward Hu tugged at Guo Shan's sleeve and whispered to him, "Master, what should we do now?" β
Guo Shan said with a smile: "Don't worry, let's follow them when they return home." β
Steward Hu nodded with a smile and said, "In this way, they have no reason to use the phrase 'the old lady is not at home' to fool us again." β
Guo Shan couldn't help but smile, but when he looked up, he happened to see the Yang family looking at their table opposite. Seeing that her face was not good, it seemed that she had a very bad impression of herself and Steward Hu.
Guo Shan didn't dare to be careless, and sat down with a smile and showed a kind smile to Yang.
Yang didn't answer his words, and impatiently opened his eyes and ignored Guo Shan again.
"Maybe people think we're wicked." Guo Shan said helplessly to Steward Hu.
While he was talking, he saw a wave of pilgrims leading a few pilgrims into the hall.
It was a line of two women and one young, the leader was a dignified beautiful young woman, two people standing on the left and right, the woman was a maid, and the young man was dressed broadly.
Because he saw the politeness of Zhike to the three of them, Guo Shan felt that these three people were the big patrons of Yanghua Temple again.
"Mao'er, find a place against the wall and sit with me." So said the beautiful young woman.
The young man said: "Auntie's orders, how dare Mao'er disobey?" β
looked at Guo Shan's table next to the corner. He immediately stepped forward and said to Guo Shan: "You move back, I want to sit next to this." β
Steward Hu was furious and was about to get up, but Guo Shan grabbed his hand and dissuaded him: "We are here to eat, not to quarrel." It's okay to move a position, and it's not a loss. β
Steward Hu gave up when he heard this, and Guo Shan asked the guests on both sides to help move his position and sit down again. Steward Hu couldn't help but say: "Master, the master humiliates the servant to death, and the old slave is incompetent." β
Guo Shan laughed and whispered to him: "It's because I don't want to provoke trouble, did you look at what Lord Zhang came to my house to warn me?" Besides, you don't know who the boy is, but I recognize his status. If my guess is correct, this young man is also a royal family. β
Steward Hu was taken aback and asked, "How did the master guess it?" β
Guo Shandao: "It's not difficult to guess if you look at his accessories." β
Steward Hu secretly wiped his sweat, thinking that he was fortunate not to be reckless and attract great hatred to his master.
