Chapter 127: Big Event
Wang Xi and Chang Ke lived in Yunju Temple for more than ten days, and they teased Ah Li and Xiangye every day, and Chang Ke took a few autumn clothes made for Ah Li with Baizhu and folded them neatly, and the people from Yongcheng Houfu came to send them invitations.
Lu Ling invited them to attend the flower-viewing banquet in Jiangchuan Bofu seven days later.
The grandmother who came to send them the invitation was a decent housekeeper in front of Mrs. Hou of Yongcheng, who had received a lot of red envelopes from the Wang family, and after greeting Wang Xi and Chang Ke, she also brought them some words that should not have been told to them: "I heard that there will be a flower-viewing banquet in the palace these days, and the young ladies of the right age in Beijing who have not decided on their relatives will participate." ”
also said euphemistically: "Although the house did not let me bring a letter to the two young ladies, but the two young ladies have also lived in Yunju Temple for a while, and it is always a little inconvenient to live in Yunju Temple like this." ”
Wang Xi and Chang Ke exchanged a look.
But with such a large-scale banquet, most of them wanted to choose concubines for the princes.
And listening to this grandmother's meaning, the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion did not mean to let Wang Xi and Chang Ke participate, otherwise they would have sent someone to talk about it a long time ago, urging them to make new clothes and jewelry.
Wang Xi quietly rewarded the grandmother, and was accompanied by Mama Wang to eat, and she pulled Chang Ke and said, "What are your plans?" ”
Being able to participate in the flower-viewing banquet held in the palace, and the age has not yet been decided, refers to the female dependents of those officials above the fourth grade, Chang Ke is in this range, Wang Xi is the granddaughter who has not been recognized, but she is not among them. Of course, if the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion wanted to take her, she could also go.
Wang Xi doesn't care, her marriage is decided by the elders of the Wang family, even if Mrs. Marquis Yongcheng falls in love, she has to tell the people of the Wang family, and she can't completely dominate her future. But Chang Ke is different, her parents have always looked forward to the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion, and Chang Ke's marriage is afraid that they will also listen to the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion.
Coupled with Chang Ning's affinity, Chang Yan and the four sons of the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion are no longer possible, and the flower-viewing banquet in the palace actually didn't tell Chang Ke, if there is nothing strange in this, Chang Ke can't reveal it even if he covers his head and wants to reveal it.
But Chang Ke is not an unassertive person, she gratefully took Wang Xi's hand and said, "Thank you!" But I think that's good. I'll listen to them about it. And even if they wanted me to enter the palace, I wouldn't go. ”
Chang Ke's father is a concubine, she is a little worse in terms of identity, the possibility of being selected is very small, not to mention, if you are not careful, who really gets into someone's eyes, maybe she will be pointed out to which of the down-and-out clans, if you are a wife, it is better to say, I am afraid that I am afraid that I will be a side concubine, Chang Ke is not willing to do it anyway.
Wang Xi really wanted to stand up for Chang Ke, but this kind of thing still has to listen to Chang Ke, Chang Ke said this, she thought about it carefully, it really made sense. She couldn't help but wonder: "It's me who wants to left." They don't tell us, and we're just in the middle of nowhere. Why don't we go directly to Lu's house and pretend not to know about it? ”
Chang Ke thought more.
In the past, most of the things that Chang Ning and Chang Yan didn't want would push her forward.
She muttered: "I'm afraid I have to tell Miss Wu Er and them that we have no intention of going to the banquet in the palace." ”
Wang Xi couldn't stop nodding.
Miss Wu Er is a few people who are qualified and whose names are in the front row, if they can help Chang Ke block it, even if the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion changes its mind in the future, Chang Ke will not be able to go.
The two chattered and discussed for a long time, and Ah Li ran in after Xiangye.
Xiangye still ran a few steps and waited for Ah Li for a while, and when Ah Li caught up, he ran again.
I don't know if it's a person teasing a cat or a cat teasing a person?
Everyone laughed.
Ah Li didn't know why he smiled, his innocent appearance made Wang Xi's heart soften into a puddle of water, and he couldn't help but say to Chang Ke: "No wonder you are willing to take care of him, this kid is so funny." ”
It's not naughty at all, whoever says it obediently listens, and even Wang Xi, who has seen too many leather children who climb trees and go to the house, thinks that children are sometimes quite interesting.
Chang Ke couldn't help but sigh and said, "I think of my brother when I look at him." I was so well-behaved when I was young. ”
Now that I'm getting older, I'm more well-behaved than when I was a child.
That's a bit of an anomaly.
It's also because the people in the third room have to be well-behaved.
Her parents thought it was good.
Wang Xi didn't say anything, so he invited Ah Li to drink sugar water.
Ah Li heard this and ran away, and was surrounded by several little maids and caught back.
Chang Ke fed Ali, who had a bitter face, to drink sugar water, and said to Wang Xi with a smile: "What kind of strange statement are you, and sugar water is obviously bitter water." He tricked me into taking a sip and almost didn't spit out my bile. ”
Wang Xi blinked his big apricot eyes and said innocently: "Cantonese people's sugar water is herbal tea!" That's what they taste! ”
It seems that Chen Luo hasn't drunk it yet, so he has to ask him to drink it once.
She couldn't help but giggle when she thought of Chen Luo's frowning and bitter face like Ah Li.
However, Chen Luo hasn't come to see her for a few days, and she doesn't know what she's busy with.
Just as she was thinking about it, a little maid came in and said that Dr. Feng was here.
Wang Xi was stunned, and asked the little maid to invite Dr. Feng to serve tea in the flower hall, and explained to Chang Ke "I'll take a look", and hurriedly went to the flower hall.
Seeing that Wang Xi was gone, Ah Li begged Chang Ke pitifully: "Can I not drink Aunt Wang's sugar water?" ”
Wang Xi and Chang Ke both like Ali very much, but Ali can still tell who dotes on him more.
Chang Ke smiled and coaxed him: "This is good for you!" Didn't you almost get a heat stroke before? And drank a lot of medicine? Aunt Wang's sugar water can cure heat stroke, not only you have to drink it, but we also have to drink it. ”
After speaking, in order to encourage Ah Li, she also asked the maid to bring a small bowl over, poured a little for herself, and drank it without changing her face: "Look, Aunt Chang also drinks!" ”
Ah Li had no choice but to continue drinking "sugar water" with tears in his eyes.
*
In the flower hall, Dr. Feng was supported by Feng Gao, almost burst into tears, and said to Wang Xi: "I really didn't expect that one day Chaoyun would be like a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouted and beat him." How those people once praised him, how they now spit on him. That's what I've been dreaming about! ”
Wang Xi hurriedly went over and helped Dr. Feng with his other arm, and said in his mouth, "If there is anything, you sit down first", but his eyes looked at Feng Gao, and he silently asked him, "What's wrong".
Feng Gao was also a little excited, and did not fight a lawsuit with Wang Xi, and after helping Dr. Feng to sit down on the Taishi chair, he said, "I don't know if the little junior sister lives in the temple. Lord Chen doesn't know how to say that he moved the Xiaoyaozi of the Zhenwu Temple, and now it is rumored that Chaoyun of the Dajue Temple stole the incense spectrum of the Xiaoyaozi and made all kinds of Buddha incense and soothing incense, and now he wants the Dajue Temple to give the Zhenwu Temple an explanation? And also announced the incense recipe. Some people did it, and they really made the soothing incense made by Chaoyun. Now that this matter has been troubled by the monk and Taoist priest to the emperor, the people in the capital are staring at the palace to see what the palace says.
"The people of Dajue Temple are said to be very annoyed with Chaoyun, but Chaoyun is a monk of Dajue Temple, and he used to act under the banner of Dajue Temple, but now, they are annoyed again, and they have to bite the bullet to help Chaoyun fight this lawsuit."
Wang Xi listened, and his mind spun quickly.
She thought that Chen Luo had asked her what to do with Chaoyun? thought of him once rushed to the Zhenwu Temple overnight, and thought of Liu Zhong who disappeared every day.
Wang Xi faintly felt that this matter should have been done by Chen Luo.
But Dajue Temple is a royal temple, Zhenwu Temple is a Taoist temple, since ancient times the monks and Taoists are not in harmony, what he provoked is not the dispute between the two temples, but also the dispute between the two religions, will things become out of control in the end?
How did he convince Zhenwu Temple to get involved?
Wang Xi has a lot to say to Chen Luo.
Mrs. Feng asked in a low voice, "Have you seen Lord Chen in the past few days?" ”
Wang Xi's heart jumped, and he forcibly maintained his expression and said, "No." What are you looking for Master Chen? ”
There are some things that the fewer people who know, the better.
It's not about trust or distrust, but everyone has someone they trust, and it's the truth to see through it or not to say it.
Doctor Feng sighed: "He once went to my shop and said that you want Chaoyun to be brought back to Shuzhong for public trial in the capital, and asked me what I think." At that time, I thought that a public trial should not require Lord Chen's intervention, and I could do it with the previous favors. But in the capital, he was ruined, and Dajue Temple was the first to refuse. I didn't expect it! ”
Unexpectedly, Chen Luo counted this favor on her.
Wang Xi's eyes widened.
Doctor Feng was very touched, and didn't pay much attention to Wang Xi, lowered his voice and continued to sigh: "I thought about it, this matter can only be done by Lord Chen. Everyone who is interested in me going to Chaoyun knows it, I'm not afraid of injuring Lord Chen, so I came to you to find out?
"I am afraid that I will not be able to repay his kindness in this life. I hope Ah Gao can remember that he has the opportunity to repay Lord Chen. ”
Feng Gao hurriedly bowed to Doctor Feng and said solemnly: "Don't worry, master, I have it in mind." ”
Doctor Feng bowed his head with satisfaction, and said to himself with tears in his eyes: "I have been unable to eat and sleep for so many years, thinking that I am old, if I see my master and your sister and brother under the Yellow Spring, what face will I have to speak." Now that I'm okay, my hanging heart has finally fallen, no matter whether Chaoyun is exiled or killed in the future, I have no regrets......"
The two listened to him in silence.
Wang Xi was a little distracted.
Will Dajue Temple give up on Chaoyun this time? If Zhenwu Temple wins, who will the name of the first royal temple fall on? Will Chen Luo, the initiator, be discovered? If it is discovered, what will happen to it?
Because of the emperor's preferences, the two families of Shi and Dao are very powerful, and if he offends these outsiders, life will be very difficult.
If only one side can win, is there anything she can do to help?
Wang Xi's mind was in a mess, and she suddenly felt that the grandmother who came to the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion to send them the invitation was also reasonable, it was indeed a little inconvenient for them to live in Yunju Temple like this, although the capital was hot, there was ice in her house, and it was not so hot that it was unbearable.
It's better for her to return to Beijing as soon as possible.
At least you won't miss out on these big events in Beijing.
