Little by little, the daylight penetrates the night and spills into the ancestral hall from a small window.

The heavy door of the ancestral hall was slowly pushed open.

Xiao Shen and Rong Hua walked into the courtyard quickly and ran to Rong Yu's side.

Xiao Shen took Rong Yu into his arms with an anxious face and asked her, "Is there anything uncomfortable?" ”

Rong Yu leaned on Xiao Shen's arms and shook his head, and said softly: "A-Niang, I'm sleepy......"

Xiao Shen first instructed Mama Wu to rub her legs, and then said to her: "Bear with it for a while, you have knelt for a long time and a night, and your legs have long been wooden......"

reprimanded her softly: "I seem to have become smarter when you talk these days, but why are you still so sincere?!" It is said that you will be punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, and as soon as the door is closed, won't you lie down on the mat? ”

Rong Hua took the honey water from the maid's hand and fed it carefully one spoonful at a time: "Sister Yu, you drink a few sips of water first, and we will eat when we return to the house in a while, today I simmered black-bone chicken porridge in the small kitchen, and ......"

Rong Yu looked at them, Xiao Shen's hands were wrapped in layers of white gauze, and blood stains were faintly visible, while Rong Hua's face was haggard and his eyes were blue.

She felt sour in her heart, leaned into Xiao Shen's arms, closed her eyes and held back tears.

has experienced the bitterness of the world for more than ten years, if she hadn't experienced it again today, she would have forgotten the taste of being held in the palm of her hand and cared for and cared for.

When Xiao Shen and Rong Hua saw her crying, they only thought that the child was crying because she had been wronged, so they comforted her gently.

Coaxed Rong Yu to stop crying, Rong Hua took her back to the east courtyard, and she fell asleep after eating.

slept until the afternoon, Mama Wu and Baojing waited for her to get up, Rong Yu heard some noise in the courtyard, she raised her eyes and saw many maids running around in the courtyard, busy.

She asked Mama Wu puzzled: "Mama, what are they doing?" ”

Mama Wu replied while tidying up her dress: "The eldest lady is about to leave the cabinet......

"You are locked up in the ancestral hall, so you don't know, yesterday afternoon, the old lady of the Guogong Mansion had agreed with the Hou Ye that the eldest lady would be welcomed into the door on August 27, as if it was because the generals of the Shao family were scheduled to be buried in early September, so they naturally wanted to get married before the burial of the second son."

"It's August 27 in three days, and our house is in a hurry to prepare for the wedding, and the red cloth and red paper prepared before will be replaced with white cloth and white paper, so it is inevitable that we will be in ......a hurry."

While speaking, Mama Wu had already sorted out her dress, shoes and socks for Rong Yu, and said to her with a smile: "It's neat, Miss, go find the eldest lady, after she leaves the cabinet, you can't be with her all the time like now." ”

Yes, we won't be able to stay with each other forever......

She and her eldest sister have been separated for seventeen years, but fortunately, they have lived a new life and are destined to see each other again, but in three days, the eldest sister will be out of the cabinet.

Naturally, the Dingguo Mansion and the Rong Mansion are not far away, and the eldest sister is still healthy, so she can often visit her at the Shao family in the future.

It's just that I can never go back to getting along and being intimate day and night.

Rong Yu walked through the busy maids in the courtyard and walked into Rong Hua's house.

There are a few open boxes on the couch and on the ground in Rong Hua's bedroom, she is counting and checking with Mama Zhuang with the account book, she saw Rong Yu, and said with a smile: "Sister Yu, you came just in time, many of my sister's jewelry will not be used in the future, I have given Sister Ying and Sister Lian all the ones that have been sent to them, and the nature left for you is the best, can you come and see if you like it?" ”

Rong Yu put away the sentimentality in his heart and walked to Rong Hua's side, and when he got closer, he couldn't help but be attracted by the jewels in a jewelry box on the small couch.

A complete set of ruby heads and faces with pure color, exquisite gold silk and pearl tassels, and jade bracelets with clear water......

If Rong Hua had the opportunity to wear them, and the gorgeous jewelry and the beautiful women complemented each other, how beautiful would that scene be......

It was only then that she understood what the word "festival" meant.

Miss Jiao, who grew up in the pile of wealth and splendor, gave up everything she had at the best age, locked the courtyard door from then on, and guarded the spiritual position alone until she died of old age.

Rong Hua saw Rong Yu staring at the jewelry box, and said with a smile: "It seems that my sister's vision is still good......"

She took out a simple wood-carved jewelry box from the jewelry box and opened it for Rong Yu to see: "This box of jewelry is left for you, except for this hairpin......

"This silver-hairpin is not worth a few dollars, and the workmanship is not exquisite, but it was passed down to me by my grandmother and my mother."

"Don't look at the Shen family's big business now, but when my grandmother first married my grandfather, my grandfather was just a peddler in the silk business......"

"My grandmother deliberately passed on her simple jewelry to her mother and aunt, which was intended to warn the descendants of the Shen family not to forget their roots."

"I used means to marry into the Shao family this time, and I married to keep festivals in the past, and I don't know what the situation will be in the future...... If I can't go out and walk around in the future, when Brother Ye gets married, you will give this hairpin to his wife for me, and tell her about my grandmother's teachings. ”

Rong Ye got married......

Rong Yu looked at Rong Hua.

Rong Ye will not get married.

Rong Ye is the son of the Marquis of Taining, the grandson of the Shen family, and he has no mother since he was a child, and the elders have taken pity on him and raised him like a jewel.

When he was older, he not only sent him to study in Guozijian, but also invited special masters such as calligraphy and painting, poetry, and riding and archery for him to teach him wholeheartedly.

Rong Ye is gifted and intelligent, and the masters who taught him all sincerely congratulated Rong Heng, saying that in time, the knowledge of the prince will be successful.

But in the end, Rong Ye did not grow into what everyone expected.

Hui Ji will be hurt, Rong Ye is talented, he is not satisfied with secular knowledge, first gradually indulged in metaphysics, and finally escaped into the empty door.

Rong Hua didn't notice the strangeness in Rong Yu's eyes, and she said another thing: "Speaking of Brother Ye, there is an interesting thing, guess how he stopped the maid sent by his father to get the family law yesterday?" ”

Rong Yu shook his head.

Rong Hua said: "It is said that it is normal for him to scare the maid a few words or persuade him with good words, but last night I sent someone to question, and the person who replied said that Brother Ye actually stopped the maid and said Buddhist scriptures for a long time......

"Say the scriptures! It's a shame that he can figure it out......"

Rong Yu looked at Rong Hua with complicated eyes.

The eldest sister will know later how good her good brother is at speaking Buddhist scriptures.

Perhaps it is a smart person who can do anything, Rong Ye did a very good job as a monk, and later, many believers traveled through mountains and rivers to listen to his puja, and the Kyoto Gaomen and even the emperor would specially invite him to come to the door to preach Zen.

In her previous life, if she could live longer, she would probably be able to see the day when the little Zen master of Shikong, who has a beautiful face and profound Buddhism, becomes a generation of eminent monks.

……

Imperial City Forbidden Palace.

In the Changchun Palace, Concubine Xian and King Duan stood in front of a lyre.

Concubine Xian stretched out her hand to pick the strings lightly, the sound of the piano was clear, she looked up at King Duan, and said: "The name of this piano is called Youdu, and it is a gift from the concubine today......

"After the concubine gave the piano, she said that she heard that there was a young lady Rong Er with outstanding piano skills in the Taining Marquis Mansion, and asked about your continuation of the strings......

"The concubine Niangniang rarely took the initiative to walk around with the palaces in the past, but this time, she gave the piano and took the initiative to ask each other......"

"Speaking of continuations...... The Ye family is indeed desolate, but now that you have been single for three years, you are also affectionate to her, and I also think that what the noble concubine said is reasonable, you should consider it......"

Four years ago, after the third prince reached the age of fifteen, he married the daughter of the small family Ye as the main concubine, and was later named "Duan Wang" and appointed to the military department.

A few months later, he moved to the Ministry of Rites for some reason, and for the next three years, he was running around the north and south, controlling water and dams, and also taking charge of the construction of the imperial mausoleum, until this year he was transferred to the Ministry of Rites and returned to Kyoto.

Three years ago, Princess Duan, who was alone in the palace, had an unfortunate dystocia when she gave birth to her first child, and in the end, the child could not be born, and Ye also died.

Duan Wang looked at the "Youdu" qin in front of him.

When the waves are exhausted, you will be alone.

He thought of a round and lovely little girl.

Thinking that she was in distress when she was a child, she didn't know it, and ate sugar gourds without heart and lungs;

thought of her crying aggrievedly in front of the wisteria trellis, and after crying, she still ate happily at the banquet;

Thinking of her calmly donating 100,000 taels of gold......

It's been four years, and the little girl in his heart has grown up.

One day, when the waves are gone, he hopes that the person who will be by his side is her.
