Chapter 137: A Guest Visits II
Inexplicably a little disgusted with Quan Ronghua in his heart, Wei Qingluan coughed lightly and said: "The fifth lady is polite, Wei Qing is just a devout disciple nearby, because her mother died early, so she came to Xiangyun Temple to eat fast and pray for her for a few days. At this time, the Mandarin she spoke before the crossing did not have the accent of Changzhou Mansion before, and it was somewhat similar to the words of the capital.
Quan Ronghua nodded with a smile when she heard this, and said, "That young lady's festival is good, but you live here as a lone woman, I'm afraid it's inconvenient, right?" ”
"It's more religious to come here alone to worship." Wei Qingluan said a word, blocking the power Ronghua and had nothing to say for a while.
After a while, Quan Ronghua smiled and said, "Miss Wei, we don't mean anything else, I just heard that there is a single woman living next door, so I can't help but be curious to come and have a look." ”
"The Fifth Lady has seen it, right?" Wei Qingluan smiled slightly and stopped talking.
As soon as she heard this, the maiden who was following Quan Ronghua couldn't help but look at each other when she saw that Quan Ronghua was still looking around but had no intention of leaving. My wife is really embarrassing, and they almost said that they were okay and left quickly, but Mrs. hadn't reacted yet, it was really boring for herself.
But they knew Quan Ronghua's temper, and they didn't dare to say anything to remind them, so they could only stand next to them with their heads down.
Quan Ronghua was here, but after making sure that there was indeed no one else in the courtyard, she looked Wei Qingluan up and down again, and saw that although she was dressed well, because there was no one around her, she couldn't help but secretly despise her in her heart. After standing for a while, seeing that Wei Qingluan didn't mean to invite herself into the room to speak, her face slowly lowered, and finally snorted coldly and left with someone.
After those people were gone, Wei Qingluan walked to the courtyard gate and closed the courtyard door, thought about it and opened the door and walked out, locked the courtyard door, and then walked towards the temple hall in front.
And after Quan Ronghua returned to the courtyard, she went directly to the main room.
The main room here has been changed to the appearance of a Buddhist hall, although Mrs. Lin is not yet sixty years old, and her body is also tough, but due to the great changes in the house, she has experienced a period of sorrowful years, and she is already full of gray hair. At this time, she was dressed in a simple robe in a blue color, and she only had a silver hairpin tied on her head, and she was sitting there drinking tea.
Wei Baozhu, dressed in an off-white simple dress, was standing obediently behind Old Madam Lin, gently hammering her shoulders.
"Okay girl, don't get tired." Old Madam Lin put down the teacup, patted Wei Baozhu's hand with a smile and said, "Thanks to your company now, I only feel that my body is a little tougher." ”
"Grandmother," disgust flashed in Wei Baozhu's eyes, but he said with a smile, "That's your old man's blessing." The orb is still stained with your light. ”
"Silly child," Old Madam Lin pulled Wei Baozhu in front of her, sighed and said, "It's still not good for my grandmother, if I could have found you as soon as possible, maybe your mother wouldn't have gone so early." ”
At this time, seeing Quan Ronghua walk in, Old Madam Lin stood up and said, "You two should also go and prepare, and we will go to the front hall together in two quarters of an hour." ”
They had just come to the temple and had to settle the things they had brought, so they arrived at this courtyard first. Now the offerings and other things brought have been prepared, of course, you have to go to the front hall to worship the place where the spirit tablets of the deceased on the general's mansion are offered, as well as the ever-bright lantern.
"Okay," Wei Baozhu took advantage of the situation when Mrs. Lin got up, and said at this time: "When the time comes, I will go over with my mother's tablet." "This is what I have said before, this time I came here to offer Lin Chengyuan's spiritual position and everlasting lamp by the way.
"Go ahead," Old Madam Lin patted Wei Baozhu's hand, her eyes full of kindness.
Then he watched Wei Baozhu walk towards the door.
Seeing that Mrs. Lin got up when she saw her coming, obviously not wanting to let herself be in front of her, Quan Ronghua hated it in her heart, but she also said with a smile on her face: "Mother, if you don't need a daughter-in-law here, then the daughter-in-law will serve Baozhu to change clothes." The words are good, but I secretly gritted my teeth in my heart, old woman, you treat me like this, and see what happens in the future.
"Okay, okay," Old Madam Lin waved her hand, she really didn't have much dislike for Quan Ronghua, but she was a little tired of her sometimes too diligent and low-minded flattery. I also said before that the power of the flower, but it had little effect, so I simply couldn't see it.
When Wei Baozhu walked out, Old Madam Lin kept watching her. In the past few months since this girl returned to the General's Mansion, she has been well-behaved. Old Madam Kelin couldn't find anything similar to her own daughter in her.
Whether it is appearance or temperament, the two people are not different at all. Although Wei Baozhu has been holding on to his temperament for the past few months, Mrs. Lin is a long-time veteran after all, how can she not see it.
Besides, Wei Baozhu was only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl after all, and she tried her best to pretend to be well-behaved and lovely in front of Old Madam Lin, but when she returned to her own yard, she couldn't help but reveal her true form. Of course, the things she did couldn't escape Old Madam Lin's ears.
After all, it's another generation, Old Madam Lin sighed lightly, for the sake of her dead daughter's face, she will definitely take good care of Wei Baozhu.
When Wei Baozhu walked out of the door, because there was a threshold, I saw her raise her feet. was about to cross the threshold, when suddenly the plain robe on the outside flipped over, and a red mark flashed quickly.
The clothes inside this girl turned out to be red? Old Madam Lin only felt as if her heart was blocked.
Could it be that Wei Baozhu's mother-in-law didn't tell her that she couldn't wear bright clothes during the sacrifice? Even if you wear it inside, you can't do it! What's more, she has to put up her mother's tablet and everlasting lamp today, how can this girl wear it like this?
But then I thought that I had also said such words to Wei Baozhu, that is, she took the words of serving her mother-in-law as a deaf ear, and she shouldn't have understood her own words.
Seeing that Old Madam Lin's complexion changed slightly, Huo Pozi, who was standing beside her, couldn't help but look at Wei Baozhu's back. But he didn't notice anything wrong, so he asked in a low voice, "Old lady, what's wrong?" ”
Huo Pozi is an old man who has been with Mrs. Lin for decades, and she also walked in the prison with Mrs. Lin, and she is deeply trusted by Mrs. Lin.
Hearing Huo Pozi's words at this time, Mrs. Lin frowned slightly, motioned for her to come to her, and said, "Just now I seemed to see that Baozhu's girl's skirt seemed to be red. ”
"It's impossible," Huo Pozi said with a little surprise in her tone when she heard this: "The slave maid sees that the little lady is not the kind of woman who Meng Lang is not safe, how could she do such a thing." Well, the slave and maid go and see. ”
Huo Pozi's words hit the heart of Mrs. Lin, and she said it to Huo Pozi, which also meant the same. If she is wrong, it would be the best, and in case it was those taboos that Wei Baozhu didn't understand, she just asked Huo Pozi to tell her.
