Chapter 244: Accidents
When eating vegetarian food, Mrs. Ning Guohou specially observed Xie Yingrong a few more times.
She found that although Xie Yingrong was only a concubine, her upbringing was still okay, her words and deeds were courteous, she was quite able to see people, and her temperament was shy and quiet, gentle and obedient, and she was very respectful to her elders. Except for the unruly look on Cheng Du when he looked at him, everything else was fine.
Mrs. Ning Guohou is used to seeing the world, and of course she can see that this girl is not as simple and well-behaved as she seems on the surface, but what does it matter? Does she really want to choose a good daughter-in-law for Cheng Du? On the surface, it seems that people can't make mistakes. As long as Cheng Du marries someone into the door, will it be husband and wife love in the future, or will they be tired of seeing each other, and what does it have to do with her? Cheng Du is not having a good time, she is happy!
The key is that you can't give Cheng Du the good family business of the General Zhuguo Mansion! Even if her grandchildren can't climb this family, they can't cheapen the people of the big house!
Mrs. Ning Guohou made up her mind, and then thought about finding an opportunity to match Cheng Du and Xie Yingrong. Cheng Du just glanced at the girl a few times, and he must have been a little moved in his heart. As long as they have the opportunity to meet in private, and then ask someone to break it down and make trouble, this marriage will be completed. Mrs. Ning Guohou asked herself if there was a way to persuade Ning Guohou to admit this family.
In this vegetarian meal, there is not only Mrs. Ning Guohou who has no intention of eating, but the rest of the people here have their own thoughts. After the vegetarian meal was finished, Miss Bian began to encourage her eldest cousin Cheng Du and asked him to take her and her little friend Xie Yingrong to play in the garden behind the temple.
It is said that there have been several famous poets and monks in this Cheng'en Temple, and their poems are engraved on the stone wall of the back garden, and there are often literati and scholars who come to watch. Although Miss Bian didn't know how to compose poems, she thought it was interesting when she heard Xie Yingrong mention the poems behind the temple, and she was afraid that her grandmother and parents would not let her go to see it, so she started her cousin's idea. Cheng Du likes poetry and books on weekdays, and he will not refuse this request.
Miss Bian is several years younger than Cheng Du, and it is the time of innocence. Cheng Du is an only son, he has no sister, and he is not close to his cousins, so he treats his cousin as his own sister, and of course he will not refuse such a request. In fact, he didn't know that there was such a poetry wall in Cheng'en Temple, and he was quite interested. It's just that after hearing that Xie Yingrong proposed this idea, he couldn't help but look at Xie Yingrong twice.
He remembered that the Jiang brothers seemed to have mentioned this girl, and they had some unusual thoughts about them, right? But now she seems to be ...... to him Cough! Cheng Du blushed slightly, turned his head away, and didn't dare to look directly at this shocking strange woman, Miss Xie San.
Xie Yingrong noticed that Cheng Du looked at him several times, and his face was slightly red, but he felt a little proud. Although her current appearance is not as beautiful as when she was the most beautiful in her previous life, she is also quite good, coupled with her gentle temperament, proficient in poetry, and filial piety to her elders, there is no reason why Cheng Du will look down on her. As long as there is the same accident in this Cheng'en Temple today as in the previous life, her plan will be carried out smoothly. After she successfully marries Cheng Du, she will be able to teach her husband and children with peace of mind, making Cheng Du more prominent than in her previous life.
At this time, she heard a mother-in-law come to report to Cheng Wang's family, saying that there was another official family in Cheng'en Temple, it was the wife and niece of Zuo Zhaozhi, the Zhengqing of Dali Temple, who was using vegetarian food in another courtyard, and might collide with the people of Ningguohou's Mansion.
Hearing that it was the family of Dali Siqing, Cheng Wang immediately remembered his younger brother Wang Angui, who died tragically in prison. Although it was her husband Cheng Li who killed her younger brother, if it weren't for the fact that Dali Temple was too strict in handling the case, refused to listen to Ping Nanbo's wishes, and let Xie Pu carry the black pot, but found out Wang Angui's crime, Cheng Li would not have had to kill his brother-in-law. Cheng Wang's expression was a little distorted at that moment, and he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "Don't pay attention to them!" ”
Who knew that Ning Guohou heard the movement and asked what was going on, and after getting the answer, he was silent for a while, and then ordered the eldest grandson Cheng Du to ask him to go over and greet him, but be careful, don't be abrupt to the female dependents.
Zuo Zhao knew that Jian was in the emperor's heart, how could Ning Guohou snub his family? It's just that Zuo Zhaozhi is a well-known lonely minister, too deliberately making friends, and he is afraid of losing his proportion. Such a light etiquette is enough.
Cheng Du immediately got up to receive the order and left with a smile. This time, it was Mrs. Ning Guohou's turn to make a straight face.
If she is not a relative of the emperor, a powerful noble, or an important cabinet minister, she will not look at it. It's just that on this obvious social occasion, her husband sent Cheng Du instead of Cheng Jue, and she felt a little unhappy. Fortunately, the ugly expression of her daughter-in-law Cheng Wang, as well as Mama Li's soft reminder, reminded her of the grievances between the Wang family and the officials of Dali Temple, and guessed that her husband was worried that Cheng Jue was the grandson of the Wang family, so he sent Cheng Du to come forward, so he pouted and didn't say anything.
Everyone didn't notice it, and Xie Yingrong's face didn't look good. She remembered the rumors of the marriage between Cheng Du and Zuo Siyun in her previous life, and knew that she couldn't hesitate anymore, and she had to start first.
After the vegetarian fast, the elders of Cheng Bian's two families acted separately, some went to rest, some went to worship the Buddha, some went to hang out, and the juniors also had their own busy. Soon after returning, Cheng Du successfully obtained the permission of his grandfather and parents to take the cousin of the Bian family and her friends to see the poetry wall.
For some reason, Mrs. Bian also became interested in their destination, saying, "I have been to Cheng'en Temple several times, but I have never heard of such a place. In the end, the girl has lived behind the temple for a few days, and she is much more familiar with the things in this temple than us. I also went over to take a look and open my eyes. ”
Xie Yingrong saw that things were as she expected, and stepped forward to support her with a smile: "I'll help you, you watch your feet." Miss Bian hurriedly held her other arm. Mrs. Bian happily patted the back of the hands of the two little girls, and then showed her grandson to lead the way.
Cheng Du took a group of people and a group of girls and mothers-in-law out of the quiet room and walked to the garden at the back of the temple. After a while, Cheng Jue, the cousin of the second room, followed for some reason, hanging behind them not far away, his eyes constantly sweeping over him and the Bian family's daughters.
The smile on Cheng Du's face subsided a lot, and he secretly signaled the two girls of the Bian family to block their little cousin, so as not to let Cheng Jue surprise the little girl.
Mrs. Ning Guohou watched them go away, and her face was not very good-looking: "What does Cheng Duhou mean?" Could it be that my brother can still fall in love with the fat girl of the Bian family?! ”
Mama Li coughed lightly and changed the topic in a low voice: "I don't know what that Miss Xie will do?" Brother Jue is so clever, he must be able to find a good opportunity. ”
It's a pity that soon after, the news came, and the daughters of the Zuo family also went to the back of the temple to enjoy the poems. Although the two families are separated by a distance, there are some things that are difficult to operate when there are many outsiders present. Mama Li knew that it was impossible for Cheng Jue to find any good opportunities today.
"It's okay if you can't find a good opportunity." Mrs. Ning Guohou said disapprerovingly, "If you can't do it once, there will be a second and a third time." I've seen this Xie San girl today, and when I have a banquet at home, I can stop by to give her the next post. As long as she has a heart, are you afraid that you won't be able to find the flaws between her and Brother Du'er? ”
Mrs. Ning Guohou was very calm.
However, she soon couldn't calm down.
There was a sudden uproar behind the temple, which alarmed the people resting in the quiet room. A girl ran to the front yard screaming, shouting, "The wall is down!" The wall is collapsing! "Someone was hurt!" "Go get a doctor!" "Blood! Bleeding! That's a lot of blood! "It's a mess.
Mrs. Ning Guohou suddenly changed color. Her precious grandson is there, too!
Before she could speak, Cheng Wangshi had already gotten up and rushed towards the back of the temple with a pale face.
