In the verdant courtyard, there is a nine-ring broadsword.

The blade as cold as snow, the handle wrapped in black lacquer python skin, and a blood-red silk tied to the wind.

The hunting red silk seemed to be beckoning to her, and said defiantly, "Come here."

Wang Xi was so angry that his cheeks bulged.

But she didn't dare to go over.

She thought of what her eldest brother often told her, "Do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

She doesn't like others to peep at her whereabouts, but she peeks at Chen Luo's sword dance, she is not reasonable, how can she be embarrassed to reason with Chen Luo?

Wang Xi came angrily and walked away.

And when I think of Chen Luo and Lu Mingxuan next door, I always feel that it is not as fragrant as before.

Especially when Chang Ke asked her, "Did Chen Luo make any mistakes later", she replied with a few words of "should not", Chang Ke guessed that Wang Xi might have also touched a nail with Chen Luo, and very kindly stopped talking about Chen Luo, but invited her to help decorate the house, Wang Xi's heart gradually calmed down, and she copied several pages of Buddhist scriptures for her grandmother who was far away in Shu at home.

Soon, the Buddha Bathing Festival is coming.

Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Hou discussed, this year, they will not go to Lingguang Temple or Dajue Temple, but go to Yunju Temple on the outskirts of the city: "There are too many people in Lingguang Temple and Dajue Temple, Mrs. Hou of Xiangyang made an appointment with us, brought all the female dependents of the family, went to Juyunju, and stayed there for two nights, and everyone was relaxed and relaxed." ”

Mrs. Hou also wanted to go out for a walk, so she naturally smiled and went down to prepare for the trip.

Wang Xi was hit by Chen Luo, her mood was a little low, she had not fully recovered, she felt uncomfortable thinking about going to a strange temple for two nights, she was ready to find a reason to stay in the Yongcheng Hou Mansion, so she asked Chang Ke: "Do you want to go?" ”

Chang Ke didn't want to go either, and said, "Mrs. Xiangyang Hou has a good relationship with her grandmother, but several young ladies in their family have eyes on the top of their heads, and I don't want to be angry." If you can figure out a way to get in and out, I'll stay in the house. ”

Wang Xi felt that this was not a difficult matter, and she asked curiously: "The Yongcheng Marquis Mansion is not like this to the Shangzhen Guogong, it should be okay?" Why do the ladies of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion still have their eyes on the top of their heads? ”

Chang Ke said angrily: "The eldest lady of their family married to the Qingyun Marquis Mansion as the princess, and the prince married the third lady of the Wei State Mansion. Chang Ning likes to pick thorns and can't talk about others. In addition, my grandfather married a lot of concubines and gave birth to many children, except for Mrs. Xiangyang Hou, the younger generations in their house don't look down on our family very much. ”

The Qingyun Marquis Mansion is the queen's maiden home, and the Wei State Mansion is the same as the Zhenguo Mansion, one of the three remaining state mansions in the dynasty.

Wang Xi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, and said, "It can be seen that it's not all the responsibility of the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion?" ”

"yes!" Chang Ke said bitterly, "That's why I feel even more uncomfortable!" ”

"Then it's up to you!" Wang Xi felt that this was not a difficult matter, and was ready to persuade Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Hou, who knew that her eight thousand taels of silver would be bad.

Mrs. Tai took her hand and said, "Your filial piety, your uncle sees it!" This Buddha Bathing Festival, our family does not go to Dajue Temple to Yunju Temple instead, all because of you! Master Jingxian of Yunju Temple is a popular person in front of the nobles in the palace, if you can get a good word from him, you don't have to worry about your future marriage. Our family usually doesn't interact much with these monks, but this time I went to Yunju Temple, and I still asked the lady of the Xiangyang Hou Mansion. How can you do it if you don't go? ”

Isn't this force used a little fiercely!

Wang Xi also tried to get Mrs. Tai to change her mind.

Mrs. Hou stepped forward and grabbed her shoulders and gently persuaded her: "This time, your uncle has made a big move, you must not live up to your uncle's good intentions." What's more, your three cousins still want to borrow your light and show their faces in front of Master Jingxian! ”

Wang Xi was defeated, and he was preparing to go to Yunju Temple with his bags.

Chang Ke's eyes widened when he saw it, and said, "Do you even have your own water for cooking in the kitchen?" ”

Wang Xi said as a matter of course: "Are you going to Yunju Temple for the night?" ”

Chang Ke shook his head.

Although she was born in the capital, she has not been anywhere.

Wang Xi said: "I haven't been there either!" Who knows what it will be like there, but of course be prepared! Don't say you're not ready to come over and rub my snacks. ”

Chang Ke smiled and said with emotion: "I finally understand why you don't want to go out." ”

But she didn't have to toss with it.

Wang Xi sighed.

Unexpectedly, on the first day when they were about to leave, the Pan family brothers and sisters arrived in the capital.

Mrs. Hou was dumbfounded.

The grandmother accompanying the Pan family smiled proudly without knowing the inside: "Thinking that tomorrow is the Buddha Bathing Festival, I came here on purpose, and the eldest son and eldest lady can also accompany my aunt and grandmother to celebrate the festival." ”

Nephews and nieces are also kind.

No matter how much Mrs. Hou said, she could only hold it in her heart, and took the Pan brothers and sisters to greet Mrs. Hou.

Wang Xi, Chang Ke, and Chang Yan all avoided it according to etiquette, and they didn't see what Pan Sai looked like.

Miss Pan's maiden name is a good character, her milk name is Wan Niang, her skin is white and her body is fine, she has a pair of watery apricot eyes on her melon seed face, and she speaks softly, looking demure and gentle, a typical Jiangnan woman.

The meeting gift she brought to Wang Xi and others was her own embroidery.

Wang Xi saw that she was wearing the most popular plain moire tuanhua gown in Suzhou and Hangzhou this year, and the hairpin on her head was only inlaid with a ruby the size of lotus seeds and rice, but the color was like blood, and the quality was top-notch, so she knew that her family was not bad, and the elders in the family were willing to spend silver on her, she should be a very favored girl, and the embroidery was not like Chang Ke, because she couldn't take out the extra silver, mostly to show the virtuous and virtuous character.

What's more, when Mrs. Tai asked her what pastimes she usually had at home, she either read and wrote, or embroidered flowers and grass, and it could be seen that her life was quite regular, and she was a quiet person who did not like to move.

Wang Xi is a bit of a pity.

She herself is active, and I'm afraid that she won't be able to play with Miss Pan.

Unexpectedly, Chang Ning looked like she didn't like her cousin very much.

When Mrs. Hou led Miss Pan to salute Mrs. Tai, Chang Ning stood beside her with a calm face and did not move.

Chang Ke also quietly crutches Wang Xi with his elbow, and whispered to Wang Xi: "What's wrong with her?" Miss Pan won't offend her as soon as she enters the house, right? ”

Wang Xi whispered back to Chang Ke: "When is she not angry?" ”

Chang Ke listened and endured it again and again, so he didn't laugh out loud.

Pan Liang was placed in the south courtyard of Chunyin Garden, and it is estimated that she has not yet cleaned up after living in, and the grandmother who claimed to be surnamed Hu next to her brought some Jiangnan Tuyi to visit Wang Xi and asked Wang Xi to take care of their young lady.

Mama Wang received Mama Hu, and after she saluted Wang Xi, she drank tea with her in the upside down, probed the bottom of the Pan family, and came back to Wang Xi and said, "They have no fixed return date." It seems that if the marriage with Liu Fu is completed, Miss Pan is ready to leave the cabinet in the capital. ”

Wang Xi didn't care much about this, and asked Mama Wang: "What does Mrs. Hou have to say?" ”

Yongcheng Hou has already begun to take a break from the Buddha Festival, how to arrange the trip to Yunju Temple tomorrow, Mrs. Hou must come out with a charter tonight.

But she still hasn't said anything.

Wang Xi was anxious for Mrs. Hou when he thought about it.

She said: "Counting on her, tomorrow will be messed up, we will still take the initiative to ask for a word, and everyone can rest early." ”

Mama Wang also felt that the two ladies in charge of the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion were not very reliable, so she went to Mrs. Hou.

Who knew that Mrs. Hou was not in the main room, but took Chang Ning to talk to Miss Pan in Chunyin Garden.

Mama Wang shook her head and went to Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai said: "Mrs. Hou has her own arrangements, let's rest first today!" ”

Wang Xi was made lose his temper by this style, and simply ordered Bai Guo and the others: "Then everyone will disperse, and we will talk about it tomorrow." ”

The ginkgo should be in unison, and they scattered.

As a result, before dawn the next day, Mama Pan from Mrs. Hou's side came to her in person, saying that Miss Pan would go with her today, and asked if she could let Chang Ning sit in a carriage with her.

The original arrangement was a carriage for Chang Ning and Chang Yan, and a carriage for Chang Ke and Mama Shi beside Mrs. Tai.

Wang Xi felt that this was making her angry, and she immediately said: "I can't talk to Cousin Ning together, if Mrs. Hou is embarrassed, let Cousin Ke and me have a carriage!" ”

As for whether Chang Ning wants to change positions with Chang Ke, that's Mrs. Hou's business.

If it was said that Mama Pan didn't dare to offend Wang Xi in the past, Wang Xi's eight thousand taels of silver made her lose the courage to say "no" in front of Wang Xi.

She knew that in this way, Chang Ning and Chang Yan's seats would change, because the temporary decision might cause unnecessary trouble, Mrs. Hou would definitely be unhappy when she knew it, and she didn't dare to help Mrs. Hou persuade Wang Xi, but reluctantly went to Mrs. Hou with a smile on her face.

Mrs. Hou was really annoyed, but she couldn't clash with Wang Xi head-on over this matter, so she had to grieve Chang Ning and Chang Ke to change positions.

Chang Ning naturally refused, and made a fuss, Mrs. Hou was afraid that if it was too late, she would not be able to reach Yunju Temple after dark, so she had to let Chang Ning continue to have a carriage with Chang Yan, so that Mama Shi and other housekeepers with heads and faces squeezed in, and vacated a carriage and gave it to Miss Pan alone.

Wang Xi didn't know if Miss Pan knew about it, if she did, she would definitely feel that she would not do such an offending thing.

Miss Pan seemed to be quite happy to get into the carriage, following Wang Xi and before Chang Yan and Chang Ning.

Chang Ke also felt that Miss Pan was not good like this, and whispered to her when he and Wang Xi were lying on the car window looking at the street scene: "You say, does Miss Pan really don't know or fake don't know?" ”

"Whether it's true or not," Wang Xi said lightly, "It's not easy to have an aunt like Mrs. Hou." ”

The two couldn't help but look at each other and laugh.

Wang Xi's mood was even lower, and she murmured to Chang Ke: "Do you have any eyebrows in your marriage?" I'm going to leave for Shuzhong in early winter. If you can catch up with your looks, it is the best, otherwise you will have to exchange letters. ”

Chang Ke was taken aback and said, "Are you going back so soon?" ”

Didn't you say that Wang Xi came to the capital for his marriage?
