Chapter Twenty-Nine: Yunxiao Temple-3
Early the next morning, Wei Shen got up early to prepare to go to the barracks to continue training recruits, and before he could go out, Liang Bo came to him.
"Little general, before the young master goes out, let the old slave inform you that the eldest lady is going to Yunxiao Temple today to pray for blessings, so that you can accompany the car."
Wei Shen didn't show a very surprised look, when Liang Huanqing left his courtyard yesterday, he said that he was going to find Liang Lian, thinking that she deliberately asked for it.
He nodded and agreed, and was about to arrange the escort when he suddenly remembered something, so he turned around and asked Uncle Liang, and said, "The young lady of Lord Qin Shilang's family is coming to the house now?" ”
Liang Bo smiled and said, "Where can it be so early, it's only four watches." ”
Although Uncle Liang wondered why Wei Shen deliberately asked Miss Qin about it, he didn't ask too much, this was the most basic common sense he had been the housekeeper of the General's Mansion for many years.
Wei Shen nodded, hugged his fists, and Liang Bo said thank you, then turned around to arrange the matter of accompanying the car.
This time, the eldest lady went to Yunxiao Temple to pray for blessings, which was to prepare for marrying into the palace, and she must not be sloppy, Wei Shen personally selected several retainers with good skills to accompany her.
The marriage between the palace and the general's palace aroused the dissatisfaction of many princeling officials, but there were many complaints because the emperor's order was difficult to disobey, but he was still worried that the prince and the prime minister would take risks to hinder the marriage, so they couldn't be too public.
Wei Shen thought about it again and again, and only arranged two sedan cars, which were convenient to take care of without being too high-profile.

At this time, Qin Ruilan had already taken a small sedan chair to the general's mansion, it was just a little spring, the weather was not so warm, and a trace of coolness got into the sedan chair from between the shaking curtains, causing her to cough for a while.
Xiao'er, who was following outside the sedan chair, heard it, and hurriedly shouted to stop the sedan chair man who was carrying the sedan chair: "Stop, stop, stop." ”
Waiting for the sedan chair to settle down, Qin Ruilan lifted the curtain and asked, "Xiao'er, what's wrong?" ”
Xiao'er took out a fox white fur from her luggage, lifted the curtain and was about to drape it on Qin Ruilan, and couldn't stop complaining: "It's too late for Madam to let Miss leave later, and I don't know what Miss is in a hurry, so she has to leave in the coldest morning of the day, isn't it embarrassing for herself?" ”
Qin Ruilan couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw Xiao'er's serious appearance.
Xiao'er knew that Miss wouldn't be angry with her, but she still couldn't bear to say a few more words: "Miss is still laughing." I really don't take my body seriously! ”
Qin Ruilan smiled and poked Xiao'er's forehead with her finger, and said with a smile: "I'm not very old, but I learned the tone of the old lady to teach me a lesson." ”
"Xiao'er didn't dare. It's just that I went to Yunxiao Temple to pray for blessings and didn't set the hour, and Miss Liang only got up when I wanted to come here, shouldn't Miss wait a little longer when she went so early? You can also catch a cold on the road. Xiao'er said angrily.
Qin Ruilan smiled and said, "If you go early and go late, you have to go, and if you go early, you can rest in the General's Mansion for a while, so that you won't be tired on the way to Yunxiao Temple." Besides, Huanqing's sister is not sensible, and my mother also explained me a lot of things to tell her. ”
Saying this, Xiao'er nodded and let the sedan chair man continue walking.
In fact, only Qin Ruilan herself knows the reason, she just thought, if she could have gone earlier, maybe she could still see General Wei Shen, who sprained his foot on the way back from Qishan that day, and tears rolled in pain, thanks to Wei Shen's presence, otherwise the maids and grandmothers would not know what to do.
The sedan chair slowly drove towards the general's mansion, and a slightly cool spring breeze whistled in from the curtains, and she reached out to hold down the curtains that were lifted by the wind, thinking that if she could see him again, she could thank him in person.

Qin Ruilan's sedan chair was still some way away from the General's Mansion, so she was seen by the guards, and hurriedly rushed to report to Uncle Liang, who smiled and took a few people to greet her sedan chair at the door.
Liang Fengmian and Liang Xiao have been too busy to spend in recent years because of the affairs of the court and the military camp, and there is only Liang Huanqing in the mansion who is not an ignorant lady.
Qin Ruilan's sedan chair had just settled, Xiao'er helped Qin Ruilan out, and Liang Bo hurriedly greeted him, and said with a smile: "The old slave greets Miss Qin." ”
Qin Ruilan used to be a frequent visitor to the General's Mansion.
In addition to Mrs. Qin, there are several bed-warming concubines in the mansion of Lord Shilang, and they have given birth to a few children, and there is always a lot of trouble in the house on weekdays, Liang Huanqing went to Shilang's Mansion to play when he was a child and was bullied, because it was a child's family that made trouble, and he did not pursue it too much, but since then he has rarely gone to Shilang's Mansion.
The two of them have a good relationship, so Qin Ruilan always comes to the General's Mansion to play with her, but in recent years, when she has grown up, she always runs to other people's mansions for fear that she will lose the face of the girl's family, so she doesn't come often.
Qin Ruilan smiled and helped up Uncle Liang, who was watching them grow up, and said, "Uncle Liang, please get up quickly, is Huanqing awake?" ”
The old slave went to the young lady's courtyard to take a look, and Yue Bai served the young lady to get up, and now he was probably dressing up. Who knew that Miss Qin came so early, if she had known earlier, it would not have been easy to teach you to wait for a long time. Liang Bo smiled apologetically.
After Liang Bo finished speaking, he turned back to the little envoy behind him and asked them to help carry the luggage into the general's mansion.
Qin Ruilan covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Don't get in the way, Uncle Liang, you are busy first, and I can go to Huanqing myself." ”
Before Liang Bo could lead them in, Qin Ruilan took Xiao'er and walked straight into the general's mansion.
Liang Bo answered with a smile behind him, and then took the palanquin men down to rest.

"Miss, hurry up, Miss Qin is here."
Before entering the courtyard where Liang Huanqing lived, Yuebai heard Yuebai's voice urging her young lady from a distance.
Yuebai was very worried about the speed of her young lady's dressing up, but Miss He didn't allow her to interfere.
"Oh, don't rush me! I'm already fast! With a burst of Suosuo's voice, Liang Huanqing looked at himself in the mirror, nodded with satisfaction, and then picked up his skirt and was about to rush out, "I'm okay, Yuebai will keep up!" ”
Yuebai took her luggage for her young lady and ran out.
"Ouch." Qin Ruilan also happened to enter the courtyard at this time, and almost collided with the reckless Liang Huanqing, she held Liang Huanqing and said dotingly, "Be careful, what's the hurry." ”
Liang Huanqing looked up at Qin Ruilan and said with a smile: "My sister is here so early. I'm not afraid that my sister will be in a hurry. ”
Qin Ruilan shook her head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I've just arrived." ”
After speaking, she straightened the crooked hairpin for Liang Huanqing because she was in a hurry, and did not forget to quip: "I am about to become a wife, and I always look reckless." ”
Liang Huanqing smiled embarrassedly.
Xiao'er behind Qin Ruilan couldn't help but smile when she heard this, and Liang Huanqing pretended to tickle her when she saw it: "You still dare to laugh at me!" ”
Xiao'er hurriedly dodged: "Miss Liang spare her life." Xiao'er didn't dare. ”
And Liang Huanqing still chased relentlessly: "Let you laugh at me." ”
While playing, Qin Ruilan looked at the two of them and shook her head helplessly, and said, "Okay, okay, you two are either making fun of me or fooling around without a proper shape all day long." ”
As soon as she said this, Liang Huanqing and Xiao'er obediently stopped making trouble.
Yuebai came out of the room again at this time, holding the gold and jade bracelet that Qin Ruilan gave Liang Huanqing yesterday, and when she saw Qin Ruilan coming, she curtched slightly: "Say hello to Miss Qin." ”
Qin Ruilan nodded: "No courtesy." ”
Only then did Yuebai get up slightly and walk towards Liang Huanqing, handed her the golden jade bracelet, and said, "Isn't Miss wearing it?" ”
Liang Huanqing shook his head, put the gold and jade bracelet in Yuebai's hand again, and said, "You can keep it in the house, this gold and jade bracelet is too valuable, I wear it all day long for fear of breaking it." It's just a jade bracelet that doesn't matter, and if it is broken, I'm afraid it will be a kindness to my sister. ”
Qin Ruilan smiled when she heard this, took the gold and jade bracelet from Yuebai's hand, took Liang Huanqing's hand to put it on for her, and said: "This gold and jade bracelet is given to you for you to wear, if you just want to keep it in the house, I won't give you this." Wear it with ease. ”
Liang Huanqing hesitated for a while, then nodded with a smile and said, "If it's broken, sister, don't feel distressed." ”
"I have nothing to feel sorry for, just don't hurt yourself if you break it."
Liang Huanqing was deeply moved when he heard this, and when he was about to pull Qin Ruilan to be coquettish, a minister clasped his fists outside the courtyard and saluted, saying, "Miss." ”
Liang Huanqing looked sideways and said, "What's the matter?" ”
The retainer didn't look up, still maintained a fist-hugging posture, and said, "The little general said that his sedan car was ready, and he wanted to ask the young lady when he could leave." ”
"You go back and tell the little general first, that we will be there soon."
"Yes."
Qin Ruilan was shocked when she heard this, her face was also a little unnatural, and when she saw that the retainer was gone, she pulled Liang Huanqing and asked, "This time I went to Yunxiao Temple to pray for blessings, but it was General Wei Shen who drove the car?" ”
Liang Huanqing saw Qin Ruilan's appearance, and she was happy in her heart, but she couldn't see any emotion on her face, she said, "Yes." ”
When Qin Ruilan heard this, she didn't speak again, all she thought in her heart was what to say when she saw Wei Shen later, if she just thanked her, would it seem abrupt, and I don't know if he would remember rubbing her ankles that day.
Qin Ruilan's thoughts came to his heart and floated on his face, all of which made the eccentric Liang Huanqing see it thoroughly.

Wei Shen leaned against the sedan chair with his sword in his hand and waited, hearing from the retainers that Qin Ruilan had arrived at the General's Mansion and was talking with Liang Huanqing in the courtyard at this time.
He began to feel a little nervous in his heart, but he didn't know what he was nervous about, it was just an ordinary accident, and when Miss said that yesterday, it taught people to think more.
He shook his head and forced himself to stop thinking about it, but his eyes kept looking at the door.
When the retainers around him saw it, they proposed, "Why don't you go and see it again?" ”
Wei Shen glanced at the retainer, frowned and didn't speak again, and simply held the sword and closed his eyes to recuperate.
