Chapter 15: Blessings that don't go well enough

Guo Xi's illness is still not improving. Princess Shengping was uneasy, and heard that the Taoist temple of Cuihua Mountain was quite effective, so she decided to take her two daughters to Cuihua Mountain to pray for blessings.

When the two daughters went to greet each other the first night, Princess Shengping talked about it, and took Nianyun's hand affectionately: "My son, now that the marriage is also set, I will be the daughter-in-law of the East Palace in the spring of the next year, how can A-Niang give up you?" ”

Nianyun was a little embarrassed on his face, and bowed his head and said: "It's not a distant marriage, my daughter can still come back to see A-Niang from time to time......"

Princess Shengping stroked her hair lovingly: "Silly child, if you get married, how can you always remember your mother's family?" It is to live well in the husband's house, and harmony and shun are the truth. ”

Nianyun lowered her head and agreed, but rubbed her mother's arm with a smile: "Since she was a child, she has loved her daughter the most, how can she not remember it?" ”

Princess Shengping's gaze gently brushed Nianyun's face, sighed slightly, and said: "A-Niang and your grandpa have always spoiled you the most, and if you marry in the future, it is inevitable that you will be a little wronged." I heard that Cuihua Mountain is also very effective, and tomorrow you should ask the real person for a smooth life. ”

Konoha stood aside like a stake, very embarrassed, and wished he could find a chance to escape directly, so as not to disturb the good scene of mother and son's filial piety.

At this time, I don't know what little bug or what flying flotsam got into her nostrils, and she couldn't bear it, and she squirted out with a "sneeze".

Princess Shengping's face was a little complicated, as if she had just remembered that there was a second daughter in the house, so she also took her hand and smiled: "Konoha, after your sister gets married, you will also be the one who wants to be the princess, and you should also ask for peace and happiness, and I, as a mother, can relax my heart." ”

Konoha always felt that this attitude seemed much more perfunctory, and he became more and more uncomfortable, so he had to agree according to the etiquette and retire under the pretext.

She left Shengping Mansion for too long, so long that her mother no longer knew how to treat her, and she didn't know how to get along with her mother. If it is said that family affection, she is afraid that she can only remember Aunt Wei's kind face for the first time.

On the second day, Konoha got up early in the morning, combed his hair and changed his clothes under the service of Fennel, and was about to send someone to ask his mother when he would leave, but he saw the curtain lifted, and Jianqiu walked in: "The princess is not very good today, I'm afraid I can't go." ”

Konoha's heart jumped suddenly, what happened last time made her heart palpitate, could it be that something went wrong this time? She hid her hands in her wide sleeves and wrung them together, a little nervous: "Is my mother's body wrong?" ”

Jian Qiu smiled: "It's nothing, it's an old problem that fell in the early years, and my waist and knees are a little sore." She said that the corner of her eye always glanced at Konoha obliquely, and Konoha knew what she meant, and this problem probably fell when she was born.

Konoha said, "In this case, then let's go to Cuihua Mountain another day, and I'll go and see my mother." ”

Jian Qiu said: "Twelve Niang don't need it, the princess is an old problem, it's okay." Today's day is excellent, after today, I am afraid that this month is not such a suitable day for blessings, the princess does not want to miss it, has already ordered, let the third son accompany the two little ladies to go. ”

If the mother took them, it would naturally be the mother who took Nianyun in a car, and she took one by herself. But Guo Yan was with them, so naturally they should be in the same car with their sisters, and Konoha felt a pain in his brain when he thought of riding with the proud female peacock.

Jian Qiu is a delicate person, she has already guessed what she thinks, and she seems to say a sentence very casually: "It is also dozens of miles to Cuihua Mountain, the third prince is sympathetic to your sisters, and the two cars are given to you, and he escorts them on horseback." ”

Konoha breathed a sigh of relief.

Guo Yan took his two younger sisters and three or two maids out of the door, and the group went out of the city to Cuihua Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, Guo Yan hired two small soft sedan chairs for his two younger sisters to sit on.

At first, the mountain was gentle and the road was easy to walk, but halfway up the mountain, there was a pavilion in which an old woman was selling tea and umbrellas. There is an open space in front of the pavilion, and there are also two or three small sedan chairs, two good horses, and seven or eight sedan chair drivers resting in the pavilion.

A sedan chair man said: "I'll send the two little ladies here, and we won't go up on the top." ”

Guo Yan said: "It's not easy to walk on the top road, so I will add more money to you." ”

The palanquin man said: "This noble man is naturally not bad for money, but we really can't go up on the top, and the masters need to walk to see their sincerity when they pray for blessings and incense." ”

The palanquin drivers next to him also agreed: "No, these ladies also walked up." Slowly, it is a soft sedan chair, and even the officials who came on horseback also tied their horses to this place and walked up! ”

Guo Yan had no choice but to tie the horse to a willow tree, and the old woman who sold tea saw it and beckoned: "Your nobleman goes up the mountain to pray for blessings?" The mountains are cloudy and sunny, and the weather is changeable, so why not buy an umbrella? ”

Guo Yan looked up at the sky, the sky was clear, and the weather was very good, thinking that this old woman was really talking nonsense for business. He ignored it, told the little servant to watch the horse, and walked up with his two younger sisters.

Cuihua Mountain doesn't look very tall, but it will take some time to get up. I saw that the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain was in front of me, but there was always a little distance. Nianyun's physical strength is weaker, and on such a mountain road, he has to stop and rest for a while after walking one or twenty steps. After walking for about an hour, I arrived in front of the Taoist temple.

Guo Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt a cool drop of water fall on the tip of his nose - it was really raining. When I looked up, the sky was full of dark clouds, and I was afraid that the rain would not stop for a while.

When I entered the Taoist temple, I had a Taoist aunt to greet me and take the two sisters in. Guo Yan had nothing to do, walking around under the corridor, but unexpectedly ran into Li Yi.

Guo Yan went up to say hello: "Yi, are you here too?" ”

Li Yi said: "My mother offered some incense, candles, and lamp oil in this temple, and I came and went from time to time when I was free. ”

Both of them had nothing to do, so they asked the Taoist aunt in the view for a pot of tea, and sat in a corner of the pavilion and poured it slowly, watching the rain murmuring outside the curtain.

After waiting for more than an hour, seeing that the rain was gradually getting smaller, there seemed to be signs of clouds opening, and then the little maid next to Guo Yan ran over and said: "The two little ladies have been waiting in the quiet room for a while, and they came to ask Lang Jun if they want to borrow an umbrella from the sister-in-law in the view." ”

Guo Yan asked, "Can I borrow an umbrella?" ”

The little guy hesitated: "I borrowed it, but I only got two handfuls, I'm afraid it's not enough." ”

Guo Yan Nahan: "Such a great view can only borrow two umbrellas, but those sisters-in-law are embarrassed? ”

The little guy said: "I don't dare to embarrass our family if I borrow a few of them!" It's just that a few ladies before us also encountered rain here, so they borrowed umbrellas to go back first, so there were no extra umbrellas for us. ”

Cuihua Mountain is also some distance from the city, and I haven't moved back at this time, I'm afraid that I will have to disturb the Taoist Temple for a night. Guo Yan is not afraid, but the two daughters' families have never brought bathing items with them, which is inconvenient.

Guo Yan thought of the old woman selling umbrellas halfway up the mountain, and said, "Yi, I have to ask you to take care of Konoha for me first, I will send Nianyun down first, if the rain does not stop, I will buy an umbrella and ask the little maid to send it." ”

Nianyun can't compare to Konoha, she hasn't suffered any crimes since she was a child, so he had to escort him personally on such an embarrassing rainy day, so as not to be inconsiderate. There is friendship, and I don't think it will make Konoha suffer too much grievance.
