Chapter 181: Signed
It's only twenty miles out of the city, and it won't take long to arrive in the carriage, and before getting out of the car, Jiang Xiaotuan instructed his mother and younger brothers and sisters to be careful, especially Xiaoyue, don't be strong if you have anything, just leave everything to yourself.
Jiang Xiaoyue opened her mouth, but when she thought of her sister's vigorous and resolute behavior, she really couldn't compare, this is not at home, since her sister said it, then she listened.
After getting out of the carriage, Jiang Xiaoyue keenly noticed something, and said casually: "Eldest sister, their carriage is obviously leaving ahead of us, why have we arrived, they haven't arrived yet, it's strange." ”
Jiang Xiaoyue only saw the group of people led by Yin Miao'er at the foot of the mountain, and did not see Liu Ru and Zhen Li and the people who served them.
"Maybe it's a little delayed on the way." Li Shi's quiet way, even though she was at the foot of the mountain, there were still some steps to walk up from the temple, but her voice was small, which frightened the bodhisattvas.
Jiang Xiaotuan looked at the pious Li and his younger siblings, smiled, and then strode in the direction of Yin Miao'er, and when he was about to reach her, Liu Mingsen, who was standing on the side, stared at her, with a very eager response, but Jiang Xiaotuan just nodded politely, without too much intersection.
From the time they met to the present, she was polite and detached, and Liu Mingsen saw it in his eyes and lost it in his heart.
This temple is near the capital, the incense is flourishing, there are many people who come and go to worship the Buddha, and there are also some dignitaries and nobles, just such a short stay, Jiang Xiaotuan saw the mother and daughter of the Wang family who went to pick her up before, passing by, she greeted politely, but when they saw her standing with Yin Miaoer and Liu Mingsen, their eyes were more interesting.
Yin Miao'er seemed to deliberately want people to misunderstand, and felt that this was not enough, in front of the mother and daughter of my Wang family, while laughing, she also took Jiang Xiaotuan's hand, as if she was intimate, like her own daughter, and praised her.
Yin Miaoer rarely praises people, she has always been strict with her daughter, and she has never said so in front of outsiders, and now her attitude towards Jiang Xiaotuan is difficult not to cause speculation.
Mrs. Wang's mother and daughter said a few words, knowing that they still had to wait for Liu Ru and Zhen Li, so they went to incense first.
After Yin Miao'er watched the group leave, she did not immediately let go of Jiang Xiaotuan's hand, but looked at her white and slender hand for a while, "Xiaotuan's hands can't tell that they are children who grew up in the countryside at all, as the old saying goes, look at how a woman is doing, look at her hands first, it can be seen that our Xiaotuan is a blessed person." ”
Jiang Xiaotuan's hands are well cared for, although she still can't get together the materials to make hand cream, but she also spent a lot of effort to maintain them, they were too rough before, and it took her a long time to maintain them like this.
"My aunt praised it." Jiang Xiaotuan withdrew her hand, she was not used to being so intimate with strangers, she could accompany her to act, but contact was enough.
"My aunt is a happy woman, my cousin and cousin are sensible and filial, you stand with me, it's almost the same as being a sister."
Commercial blowing is completely difficult for Jiang Xiaotuan, and he practiced it when he sold braised meat.
"Yo, sisters are not like them, but mother and daughter are similar."
Jiang Xiaotuan expected what she was going to say next, and it happened that Liu Ru and Zhen Li's carriage arrived at this time, and she quickly changed the topic, "Auntie, cousin and eldest sister are here, but something happened on the road, I remember that their carriage was in front of us." ”
Yin Miao'er looked calm and said with a smile: "I delayed for a while when I left my friend. ”
"Mingsen, this kid is still embarrassed, look at how generous your cousin is, you are not as good as a girl's house, the mountain road is long, talk, you will be there soon." Yin Miao'er beckoned to Liu Mingsen, who was distracted, Liu Mingsen came back to his senses violently, glanced at Jiang Xiaotuan, his eyes were complicated, but he still came over obediently.
In Jiang Xiaotuan's opinion, he is a bit like a marionette.
After Zhen Li got out of the car, he saw Yin Miaoer talking and laughing with Jiang Xiaotuan, a little tasteful, and complained dissatisfiedly that the weather was hot and died to attract attention.
Yin Miao'er in front of her was amiable, and she couldn't see the arrogance of the words she said in Yin Mei'er's room before, but Jiang Xiaotuan felt that such a woman was terrifying.
Obviously high up, go and be willing to put down her body to approach you, I don't know if the mountain wind is too strong, she feels a little chill on her back.
A group of people came to the main hall, and they didn't see the mother and daughter of the Wang family along the way, Xu was worshiped and went to other places, this temple is still very big, and there must be a lot of places to go.
Li didn't talk much, after Yin Miao'er knelt down, she also folded her hands, closed her eyes, and said something in her mouth, I don't know what grievances I promised to the Bodhisattva, Jiang Xiaotuan felt that it was nothing more than related to the three of them.
The Li family is very simple, she never asks for great wealth, even if she makes money later, she can walk sideways in the countryside, but she still insists on simplicity, even if everyone thinks that Jiang Shixian is dead, no one will say anything about her even if she remarries, and the three sisters and brothers also agree, but she still waits silently.
Such a woman is cute and pitiful, but God still treats her badly in the end.
Liu Ru and Zhen Li couldn't wait to ask for a sign, but it was not very good, one was in the middle and the other was signed.
Zhen Li has always been vain, so he was naturally unwilling to get such a lot, "When I shook the lottery just now, she touched me, and it doesn't count." ”
After she drew one again, she handed the lottery holder to Liu Ru again, "Cousin, you can draw another one too." ”
Liu Ru shook her head, "It doesn't matter, I don't believe in this." ”
Zhen Li glanced at Jiang Xiaotuan, who had just been framed by her, pinched the redrawn Shangji lottery in his hand, and raised his eyebrows, "You also smoke one, right?" ”
Jiang Xiaotuan casually drew one from the lottery holder, and Zhen Li muttered to stop it, "That's not how you smoked it." ”
But it was already a step too late, she straightened her waist and glanced at it, "Sign up...... It doesn't count. ”
Jiang Xiaotuan glanced at the sign, to the effect that she would meet nobles and the like when she turned evil into good fortune, she felt that this thing was indeed inaccurate, deep in the mountains and old forests, even if she encountered any difficulties, she could only rely on herself, how could there be any nobles.
Even Mrs. Wang's mother and daughter, who knew her, saw her with Yin Miaoer, and they didn't get close to each other.
"Cousin, I'll accompany you to unsign." Liu Mingsen finally took the initiative to talk to Jiang Xiaotuan, and he still braved a lot of courage.
Jiang Xiaotuan realized that Liu Ru and Zhen Li had already left first, she clenched the bamboo stick in her hand, and refused with a smile, "Cousin, let's go first, I don't have anything to ask for, so I don't understand." ”
Liu Mingsen was rejected, and his eyes darkened, "That'...... Then I'm not going either. ”
Liu Mingsen has been waiting for Jiang Xiaotuan to say something to him, he really doesn't like her indifferent and detached appearance, obviously he can't find a trace of fault in his behavior, but he just feels uncomfortable.
"Go, little girl of your age, it's good to ask about marriage, Ming Sen, Xiaotuan Xu doesn't want to go alone, you accompany her, we will stay with your aunt for peace."
Jiang Xiaotuan sighed, she knew Yin Miaoer's intentions, but she also happened to have something to say to Liu Mingsen alone, knowing that he was in a difficult situation, and it was not easy to ask in front of the main mother.
"Then ask my cousin to accompany me."
Liu Mingsen's eyes were full of surprise, and he nodded, "Okay." ”
Yin Miao'er chuckled, "That's right, let's go, here we are, the scenery here is good, if you feel that it's boring here, it's okay to go around, Ming Sen, you take the small group to find your sisters together, so that the small group of girls will be restrained." ”
"Yes!"
"I want to go too." Jiang Xiaoyue quickly took out a random lottery from the lottery holder, and got up excitedly to go together.
A trace of displeasure crossed Yin Miao'er's big Danfeng eyes, "You girl is only so young, what are you anxious about, the marriage of the first few sisters has not been decided, it will not be your turn at this time, let's be here steadily." ”
Jiang Xiaoyue was a little afraid of Yin Miao'er, and looked at Jiang Xiaotuan asking for help, Jiang Xiaotuan smiled, "Auntie, don't be joking, this girl is only a few years old, how can she have that thought, she just wants to have a good time, Xiaoyue, you still stay here to take care of the first year of junior high school, so as to save him from messing around and disturbing the Bodhisattva, I will go back as soon as I go, you wait for me here." ”
Jiang Xiaoyue looked at her, and finally nodded, "Then we will wait for you here, you come back quickly, don't get lost." ”
Jiang Xiaotuan sensed his sister's concern, "Got it." ”
Out of the door of the main hall, the oncoming person almost bumped into Jiang Xiaotuan because he was in a hurry, in order to avoid her, Jiang Xiaotuan took two steps back, Liu Mingsen subconsciously reached out to serve, but felt that something seemed to be wrong, and between thoughts, Jiang Xiaotuan had already stood firm.
The unsign was on the left hand side of the door, but Jiang Xiaotuan went to the right, Liu Mingsen corrected it in time, without Yin Miaoer's gaze, he seemed to be able to let go, "Over here." ”
Jiang Xiaotuan looked back, "I know, but I have to go to the right side." ”
"Oh!" Liu Mingsen nodded, and he silently followed.
The two of them walked left and right, separated by some distance, and the people on the left surrounded them, but Liu Ru and Zhen Li no longer knew where to go.
After walking a short distance to the right, there were not as many people in the main hall, and the hundred-year-old trees reflected the coolness, and Jiang Xiaotuan stopped.
Liu Mingsen also stopped, wanting to see but not daring to look at her.
Jiang Xiaotuan didn't go around the bend, "Did you think about it yourself or did your aunt force you?" ”
"Huh?" Liu Mingsen didn't expect Jiang Xiaotuan to be so direct, and he immediately blushed when asked.
"I mean, do you want to marry me, or does your aunt let you marry me?"
"I ......" Liu Mingsen was hesitant, he had never met such a resolute girl, and he had never talked about this kind of thing with anyone, and he didn't know how to speak.
Jiang Xiaotuan didn't embarrass him, and said directly: "Whether you think about it or your aunt lets me, I'll just say it, I don't agree with this." ”
