Chapter 26: Prayer

Zhu'er said that Sister Ruilan was waiting for me in the flower hall at this time, and as soon as I changed my clothes, I hurried to the flower hall with Yuebai.

It is said that it is a flower hall, but it is just a delicate peony that is often found in some mansions, which means glory and wealth. The flower hall is only used for drinking tea and meeting friends on weekdays, and the two clusters of gardenias I brought back from Prince Jing's mansion a few days ago were also placed here by Liang Bo.

The two clusters of gardenias are now a little wilted, but it does not affect their fragrance in the slightest, and as soon as they are close to the flower hall, they can smell the fragrance of gardenias from a distance.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Sister Ruilan sitting at the round table enjoying the gardenia, and Xiao'er on the side also bent down and smelled the flowers greedily.

"Sister Ruilan." I shouted.

When Sister Ruilan saw me coming, she hurriedly got up and walked towards me, with a slight smile on her face, and said, "I heard my father in the mansion that the emperor had issued a holy decree for the marriage date to the general's mansion, so I hurried to congratulate me. ”

As he spoke, Xiao'er presented a brocade box, which was engraved with an auspicious pattern of dragons and phoenixes.

I have a good relationship with Sister Ruilan, I have never been polite to her, but seeing that this brocade box looks good, I quickly took it and asked, "What is this?" ”

Sister Ruilan smiled and deliberately betrayed the guanzi: "You open it and take a look." ”

I looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and then opened the box, and there was a golden jade bracelet on the golden brocade silk, the jade bracelet was very shiny, and at first glance it was a priceless jade.

I hurriedly stuffed the brocade box back into her hand and said, "No, this is too expensive, I can't ask for it." ”

Sister Ruilan smiled, took my hand and put this golden jade bracelet on me, and said, "You have only become a family once, and I will give you such a valuable jade bracelet this time." You see, how nice it looks on your wrists. ”

I raised my hand to take a closer look, the gold and jade bracelet on my white and flawless wrist became more and more dazzling, and after looking at it for a long time, I liked it very much, and after hesitating for a while, I accepted it.

"When my sister returns home later, I will also give you a pair of hairpins, although they are not as expensive as this gold and jade bracelet, but they are also extremely rare." I said.

"Silly girl, I'm not married, what are you doing with my hairpin."

"Hmm...... Otherwise, does my sister like these two clusters of gardenias? If you like to take it when you walk for a while. I looked at the two clusters of gardenias on the table, and picked them up as if I was offering a treasure to hand them to Sister Ruilan.

Sister Ruilan took the gardenia with a smile, put it back on the table, and said, "I just heard Zhu'er say that this is the gardenia given to you by Prince Jing, and you are very precious on weekdays, and I don't do this kind of thing that captures people's hearts." ”

Xiao'er saw that I looked anxious, so she covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Miss Liang, don't be busy, our young lady has other things to do this time." ”

When I heard this, I looked at Sister Ruilan with a puzzled expression.

Sister Ruilan smiled mysteriously, raised her hand to help me straighten my messy bun, and said lovingly: "When a girl from the Celestial Empire gets married, she must be taken by her mother to the temple to pray for blessings. ”

As soon as I heard this, my heart felt like a boulder pressing down on my heart, and my expression began to be a little unnatural. My mother died early, my father has been fighting all the year round, and my brother has only been in charge of me for a few years, he is not much older than me, and he has not yet understood many things himself.

Sister Ruilan smiled and said, "Originally, my mother wanted to do this for Aunt Liang, but after all, I didn't think it was good. I grew up with you, the eldest sister is like a mother, so I will go to Yunxiao Temple with you to pray for blessings. ”

Although I was depressed, it was not easy to brush off Sister Ruilan's hard work, so I nodded and asked, "Then when will we leave?" ”

"Tomorrow. Tomorrow I will come to the General's Mansion to look for you, and then we will set out together. ”

I nodded, thinking that I would inform my father and brother later, Yunxiao Temple was outside the capital city, and it was definitely not possible to come back within a day, and I had to ask my brother to send someone to go with us.

I suddenly thought of something, pulled Sister Ruilan to sit down, and asked softly in her ear, "Sister, what do you think of Wei Shen?" ”

I remembered that Sister Ruilan's distracted appearance after seeing Wei Shen in the lotus pavilion of Qishan Palace that day, so I became interested: "I asked him to send you back to the house that day." What happens on the way? ”

I looked at her with a smirk.

Sister Ruilan's cheeks were flushed, and she pushed me away and stood up, her eyes were also a little unnaturally glancing around, and she said coquettishly, "What can happen." Nothing happened. ”

I laughed out loud, knowing that Sister Ruilan wouldn't tell me, but her unusual look and behavior piqued my interest.

I turned around and asked Xiao'er: "Xiao'er~"

Xiao'er is really a rare clever girl, as soon as I said this, she knew it in her chest, and she said: "That day...... Not... Miss ......"

"Don't say anything!" Unexpectedly, Sister Ruilan, who is usually dignified and demure, actually directly covered Xiao'er's mouth, "It seems that I am really used to you in the past!" ”

Xiao'er stood back aggrievedly and said, "Miss Xiao'er is wrong, I don't dare anymore." ”

When Sister Ruilan saw her admit her mistake, she also softened, her tone softened, and she said, "You can't do this next time." ”

Xiao'er nodded.

I was really frightened, and the first time I saw Sister Ruilan angry because of this, I stepped forward and grabbed her hand, shook it gently, and said in a slightly coquettish tone: "Sister... But angry? ”

Sister Ruilan didn't want to pay attention to me, but she laughed out loud when she saw my aggrieved look and said, "You and Xiao'er always like to make fun of me." ”

"Then sister, tell me quickly, Qingqing really wants to know."

"Don't say it, if you want to know, ask someone else, I won't say." Sister Ruilan turned her face away, but I could clearly see that there was a slight smile on her blushing little face.

Seeing that Sister Ruilan refused to say, I stopped asking her, thinking that I would go to Wei Shen to ask for clarification later.

After staying with Sister Ruilan to sit for a while, she went back on the grounds that there was something going on in the house.

After sending Sister Ruilan away, I went straight to the backyard to find Wei Shen.
