Shi Zhu knew that Wang Xi was targeting her, she sneered in her heart, feeling that Wang Xi was too petty and angry, and she would only use some internal methods.

However, she thought about it, although she was not uncommon with these zongzi, after all, they were wrapped in Wang Xi's house, wasn't Wang Xi unwilling to give them to her?

She just wanted to eat.

Not only to eat, but also to let Wang Xi know.

Angry with her.

It happened that the next day was the Dragon Boat Festival, so she simply asked the maid around her to go to Mrs. Tai to get some zongzi over, and said, "We will eat zongzi and boiled eggs early tomorrow morning." ”

Mrs. Tai has always doted on Shi Zhu, not to mention that they lived in the same courtyard with Mrs. Tai, and the maid didn't think much about it, so she went to Mama Shi with a smile.

Mama Shi didn't think about it, so she asked the little maid next to her to bring the maid sent by Shi Zhu to choose zongzi, but when she turned her head to serve Mrs. Tai for dinner, she smiled at Mrs. Tai: "Miss Wang Jiabiao made zongzi and sent it over, but Miss Shi Jiabiao sent a little maid to beg for zongzi. ”

Mrs. Tai didn't put down her hand holding the spoon for a long time.

The next day's Dragon Boat Festival, Wang Xi was "driven" to the yard to drink tea and eat snacks by a few ginkgo after breakfast, and Mama Wang took a few ginkgo to smoke atractylodes in the house, soaked wormwood in noon water to bathe her, and sprinkled realgar powder on the corners and corners of the yard while she was drying her hair, so she helped Wang Xi comb her hair again and went to Mrs. Tai for lunch.

Mrs. Tai couldn't help but nod with satisfaction when she smelled the mugwort on Wang Xi's body, and praised Mama Wang: "You are still careful, soak wormwood and bathe Ah Xi." ”

Who better to be more ineffective than you?

Mama Wang scolded in her heart, but with a smile on her face, she said humbly: "It's all a family custom, year after year, even if you want to forget it, you can't forget it!" ”

Mrs. Tai didn't hear anything wrong with this at all, and praised there: "It's rare that you remember it outside." ”

Mrs. Hou glanced at Miss Pan with a smile.

Miss Pan also took a bath in the afternoon water with wormwood.

Shi Zhu, who was covered in rose fragrance, looked a little unpleasant, and said to Wang Xi: "I know that it is a custom in Jiangnan to soak wormwood in the afternoon bath during the Dragon Boat Festival, why, you also have such a custom in Shuzhong?" ”

"Yes!" Wang Xi smiled, and took the opportunity to sarcastically say a few words to Shi Zhu, "You should really go to Yulin to have a look." It is better to read 10,000 books than to travel thousands of miles. Ling Zun went to Yulin as an official, what a good opportunity! Otherwise, you will find that people in Gansu and Ningxia will smoke wormwood during the Dragon Boat Festival. ”

Shi Zhu's face was even more ugly.

Is Wang Xi accusing himself of not being able to endure hardship?

She said disdainfully: "You seem to have been to many places? ”

"I took a boat from Shuzhong all the way south to Wuchang Mansion, and then from Wuchang Mansion to the capital with the ship transported by Cao." Wang Xi blinked his eyes and said, "It's a long way away." I don't think it's rare for a girl like me to walk this far. ”

I don't know how innocent it is.

Of course Shi Zhu wouldn't admit it, and he wanted to stab Wang Xi a few words, Mrs. Tai looked at it, and suddenly remembered Wang Xi's persuasion to taste zongzi, and suddenly felt a little displeased, and intercepted Shi Zhu's words in a deep voice: "Okay!" You sisters don't always think about bickering, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, Hou Ye is resting at home, it is rare for the family to reunite, you can drink some wine today. ”

"Okay!" Mrs. Hou took the lead, answered with a smile, and asked Wang Xi, "Our family follows the habits of the north, and we all like autumn dew, what kind of wine does your family like to drink?" Blame me, I didn't ask you earlier, and I didn't have time to prepare. ”

Wang Xi pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "My uncles and brothers in my family drink all kinds of wine, as long as it is delicious." The female dependents prefer to use Jinhua wine to entertain guests, which is longer and mellow, and is not easy to hurt people. ”

"The people on our side dislike Jinhua wine too softly...... Mrs. Hou smiled and talked to Wang Xi about family life, and revealed the matter.

In the afternoon, the female dependents played horse hanging, and in the evening, the men on the left and the women on the right of the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion held a banquet in the hall of the main courtyard.

Just before going to the hall, there was a small episode.

The young aunt beside the eldest princess of Baoqing suddenly asked to see her.

Mrs. Tai was stunned, hurriedly redressed, and met Qinggu in the hall of Yuchun Hall.

is different from the day of the birthday banquet of the eldest princess of Baoqing, Qinggu wore an ordinary parrot green summer cloth gown, the black green silk was combed neatly, and she simply wore two gilt hairpins, and after saluting Mrs. Tai, she said that she had come to see Wang Xi.

Mrs. Tai was full of doubts and called Wang Xi to come out to see Qinggu.

Qinggu smiled and saluted Wang Xi, took a poplar box from the hand of the little maid behind her and handed it to Wang Xi, and said: "That day, Miss Biao said that she had lost her jewelry, and our parent princess instructed us to look for it for several days, and finally found a piece of jewelry in a forest not far from the Yingxiao Pavilion, and I don't know if it is Miss Biao's. Because I was afraid that Miss Cousin would be in a hurry, I immediately sent it over. ”

That's a ......

Wang Xi's face was a little red and he opened the box.

The sideburns inlaid with huge purple crystals are as if they have been cared for, and they lie on the red camphor cloth in the box with great brilliance.

"Thank you!" Wang Xi said sincerely, with some mixed feelings in his heart.

She didn't expect the jewel to come back into her hands.

In order to find this jewelry, the people of the Eldest Princess's Mansion are afraid that it took a lot of effort.

And with this piece of jewelry, it can be regarded as a euphemistic confirmation that she will meet Chen Luo in the woods of Lumingxuan, and she really went to find jewelry, which is equivalent to justifying her name.

also specially sent a female official who was considerate during the Dragon Boat Festival family banquet.

At this moment, even if Wang Xi saw the eldest princess Baoqing and the former brother-in-law Lord Jin together, he felt that the eldest princess Baoqing was a very good person.

Wang Xi thought of Lord Jin's wife, sighed secretly in his heart, and thanked Qinggu again.

Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Hou and the others were naturally overjoyed, and kept saying thank you to the eldest princess, and left Qinggu for dinner at home.

Qinggu refused with a smile: "There is also a family banquet in the eldest princess's mansion, and the eldest princess is still waiting for me to reply!" ”

Mrs. Tai didn't stay long after hearing this, so she wanted to send Qinggu out in person.

Qinggu smiled: "Where dare you work!" Just let Miss Watch send me! ”

Mrs. Tai thought about it and felt that it was both appropriate and reasonable, and hurriedly instructed Wang Xi to send off the guests on her behalf.

Wang Xi felt that things were not so simple.

But she still smiled and sent Qinggu out of Yuchun Hall.

When they arrived at the side gate of the Yongcheng Hou Mansion, the sedan chair of the Eldest Princess's Mansion was already waiting at the door.

Qinggu smiled and said, "Miss Biao stays", and then said pointedly, "The things have been delivered, I have to go and talk back to our second son earlier", and got on the sedan chair without looking back, leaving Wang Xi to ponder at the door for a while.

There is no simple person who comes out of the palace, let alone the personal female official next to the eldest princess.

She definitely doesn't say any nonsense.

Could it be that Chen Luo helped her find this sideburns?

Or, the people from the Eldest Princess's Mansion were actually ordered by Chen Luo to find a way to help her find the sideburns?

Then today I arranged for Qinggu to send sideburns and help her correct her name!

Wang Xi's mood couldn't be calmed down for a long time.

At night, she took the clairvoyant mirror and looked at Lu Mingxuan in the warm pavilion on the rockery of Xueqing Garden.

It was already the time to hold the lamp, but Lu Mingxuan was dark and there was no light.

Could it be that as Chang Ke said, he doesn't usually live in Lumingxuan?

Then she can meet him dancing with a sword, and it is quite fateful.

Wang Xi thought of Chen Luo's perfect side and resolute gaze when he shot arrows, and thought of his violent expression in the woods and everyone's ignorance of him.

Perhaps, it's not that you turn a blind eye, but that you're used to it?

Wang Xi thought imaginatively, heroic and gloomy and indifferent, which face is Chen Luo's real face?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Chen Luo seemed to be shrouded in a veil, making her unable to see clearly.

*

On the seventh day of the fifth month, Bo Mingyue sent someone to send a letter to Jimin Hall, saying that he had already agreed with the presiding monk of Dajue Temple that Chaoyun was in the temple on the tenth day of the first month, and they could go to him at any time.

I didn't think that Bo Mingyue was quite careful and thoughtful.

Wang Xi got the letter, told Mrs. Tai in advance, and took Wang Xi and Mama Wang a few at the tenth day of the first month, and went to Dajue Temple with Dr. Feng.

Dajue Temple is built in the West Mountain, it takes about two hours to take a carriage from Yongfang from the hour, and it is almost noon when Wang Xi and others arrive.

This was her first time at Dajue Temple.

Like all the ancient temples, the red wall and gray tile of the Dajue Temple, there are two towering ancient trees that hug the thick at the door, although people come and go, the incense is prosperous, but the main gate is closed, only the emperor comes, the main gate will be opened to greet.

Ordinary pilgrims mostly enter through the side doors on both sides of the main entrance, and because Dajue Temple is a royal temple, unless it is a concubine in the palace or a prince or grandson, even if it is a dignitary or a meritorious family to worship the Buddha, Dajue Temple will not clear the way, but is led by the monk from the back door to enter and exit.

It should be stained with the light of Qingyun Hou's Mansion, and the Zhike monk of Dajue Temple led Wang Xi and them through the main gate, turned into the side path, walked for about half an hour, and entered Dajue Temple through the back door.

Wang Xi is proficient in human affairs, and without waiting for Wang Xi to get off the carriage, he said to the monk that he wanted to donate five hundred taels of silver to sesame oil.

The smile of the monk became a little more enthusiastic, and after taking them to the Daxiong Treasure Hall to worship incense, he immediately arranged a meal, and asked Wang Xi if he wanted to go to the room where Chaoyun made incense at noon first.

Wang Xi didn't expect the five hundred taels of silver sesame oil money to be so cost-effective, and said in surprise: "Can it work?" ”

The monk Zhike was in his fifties, and there was a bean-sized mole between his gray eyebrows: "Why not?" A few distinguished guests still made a special trip to ask him about the art of perfumery, wouldn't they be able to see and speak more clearly when they went to his perfume room? ”

I don't know if this knowledgeable monk thinks that Chaoyun has a good way of blending incense, even if they can't learn it after watching it? Or do you think that perfumery is not a big deal, and it doesn't matter if you learn it?

Does Chaoyun know that there is a monk in Dajue Temple who has such an attitude towards him for incense?

Wang Xi and Dr. Feng exchanged a look, and went to the dining hall with the monk Zhike with a happy expression.
