After the new rain in the empty mountains, the weather is late in autumn.
It rained for a whole day, and it stopped in the evening, and while it was not completely dark, the people who had been sleepy all day in the temple went out for a walk; They walked the stone road where the masters in the temple went up the mountain to chop firewood, and met Yan Qian, who came out to pick up firewood with his wife, "Fourth uncle." โ
"Six girls!" Only then did Yan Siye remember that Yan Qian was sent to Zhetan Temple to kneel.
"Fourth Uncle, why are you here?" Yan Qian also understood that Yan Siye couldn't have come to pick her up.
"Returning to Beijing from Longcheng, passing through here." Yan Siye said simply.
When Yan Qian heard this, she didn't think of anything until she saw the woman following Tang Li, and she remembered that after the Longcheng earthquake, Tang Li was washed downstream by the dammed lake, and was rescued by a farmer.
What happened to this peasant girl, Yan Qian didn't know too well, she had married far away at that time, and when she came back, it was already ten years later, and things had long been wrong.
"Yan Qian has seen His Royal Highness the Grand Sun, please say hello to His Royal Highness, Your Highness is blessed." Yan Qian curtsied and saluted, as for Fu Zhixing, she turned a blind eye, she didn't want to give a salute to this man who was in cahoots with Yan Hao.
Fu Zhixing didn't care at all whether Yan Qian greeted him or not, he walked directly past Yan Qian, and didn't even give her a look out of the corner of his eye.
Tang Li said weakly: "Miss Yan doesn't have to be polite, please get up." โ
Yan Qian stood up and smiled at the woman beside him, "Hello, girl." Seeing Tang Li here, Yan Qian realized that this would be a rare opportunity for her, a good opportunity to leave here and climb Tang Li, and this peasant girl was someone who could be used.
"Hello, my name is Wu Yuniang, you can call me Yuniang." Wu Yuniang was flattered, along the way, when she saw the female dependents of those officials, her eyes were full of contempt, and it was rare to meet such a friendly person.
"My name is Yan Qian." Yan Qian smiled.
"Are you a nun?" Although Wu Yuniang saw that she had hair, she was wearing a nun's gray straight-leg robe, so she asked directly.
"I'm not a nun, I came to the temple to keep filial piety for my deceased mother." Yan Qian's expression was gloomy.
Wu Yuniang took her hand and said with emotion: "You are so filial!" โ
"It's all as it should be." Yan Qian couldn't bear to pull his hand out, and sighed pretendingly, "The son wants to raise but the parent is not there, and that's all I can do for my mother now." โ
"My mother is gone, I haven't seen my mother." Wu Yuniang's eyes were slightly red, three days after she was born, her mother died of postpartum fever, and her father raised her.
"Poor motherless children." Yan Qian also pretended to be sad.
Wu Yuniang ignored her father's dissuasion, and was dragged by two sisters-in-law, bent on living a rich life, but as she got farther away from home, the more panicked she became. The two of them have their own needs, coupled with Yan Qian's deliberate catering and flattery, the two hit it off at first sight, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became, and they almost planted incense and worshipped.
Although Yan Siye knew the real reason why Yan Qian came to Zhetan Temple, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, not to mention that this involved the reputation of the Yan family's daughter, he could only remind Tang Li euphemistically, "My niece is a clever person, Miss Wu is simple-minded, and she doesn't know the situation in Beijing, if she hears it and believes it, it won't be good." โ
"Uncle Yan, don't underestimate people, Wu Yuniang is not the kind of peasant girl who has no scheming." Tang Li privately called Yan Siye his uncle, although he was grateful to Wu's father for saving him, but he was disgusted that Wu Yuniang had to follow him into Beijing and wanted to be his woman. Tang Li didn't want to be called ungrateful, so he endured the unhappiness in his heart and took Wu Yuniang into Beijing, but he didn't touch her.
Wu Yuniang dared to follow them into Beijing alone, it can be seen that she is not a simple person, she and Yan Qian, I don't know who deceived whom, so Yan Siye didn't care. The rain kept falling, the road collapse was more serious, and the detour was afraid that other places would also collapse, Yan Siye and others could only stay in Hongluo Temple with peace of mind.
The low-lying parts of the city were already covered with waist-deep rainwater, and the streets were full of beggars taking shelter from the rain. The palace of the king of Chu took the lead in releasing grain for disaster relief, and set up porridge points in the east, south, west, and north of the city. At noon, it is a bowl of porridge and rice with two steamed buns, and at night it is a bowl of gruel and one steamed bun.
Yu Fangfei was full of praise for the righteous deeds of the Chu Wangfu in front of Mrs. Yan, and also said: "Aunt and grandmother, I also want to do my best to set up two porridge points to give porridge to those disaster victims. โ
Doing good deeds is always good, and Old Madam Yan didn't stop her, "Fang Fei, how much silver are you going to take out?" โ
"Aunt and grandmother, I'm going to take a thousand taels of silver out, do you think it's enough?" Yu Fangfei is not at home, and she doesn't know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt.
One thousand taels is definitely not enough, but Mrs. Yan decided to put her on the mat beyond it, so there is no need to say it, just about to say enough, Yan Hagi asked first: "Cousin Yu, do you know what the price of rice is recently?" "Yu Fangfei wants a good reputation, so she will pay her own money, so she won't let Mrs. Yan make up for this person who eats inside and outside.
"Xiaoxiao, your cousin Yu is doing good deeds, don't be so careful." Old Madam Yan didn't understand why Yan Hagi had started to target Yu Fangfei.
"Grandmother, of course it's good to do good deeds, but you have to do good deeds according to your ability, how big your head is how big you should wear, Chu Wangfu soup porridge, Cousin Yu also soup porridge, Cousin Yu is trying to steal the limelight of Chu Wangfu? Last time, I returned the ceremony of the prince of Chu, Cousin Yu was afraid that I would offend people, and said that I was wrong, why is Cousin Yu not afraid of offending the Chu Wangfu now? Yan Hagi said with a smile.
"Twelfth sister, how can these two things be confused? I'm not stealing the limelight with the Chu Wangfu by doing this, I'm doing good deeds, I believe that the prince of Chu and the prince of Chu are not the kind of people who don't distinguish between right and wrong, black and white. Yu Fangfei eagerly defended, but she didn't see that Old Madam Yan's eyes had changed.
Yan Hagi smiled and said nothing, she said everything she had to say, and I believe that her grandmother would not take the silver out to make up for it. Yu Fangfei wanted to give porridge, so she used the 1,000 taels of silver she took out herself, as for how long it could be giving, then I don't know, who made not only the price of rice and noodles rise now, but also the price of firewood.
"If you want to give porridge, you can give it." Old Madam Yan said lightly.
"Thank you, Auntie, Grandmother." Yu Fangfei said happily.
Old Madam Yan waved her hand, "I'm tired, I want to rest, let's disperse." โ
Yu Fangfei still wanted to talk about how to give porridge specifically, what else to say now, so she had to go out first. She didn't expect that she was stirred up by Yan Hagi, not only did Mrs. Yan not make up the money, but she didn't even help arrange it, she was a young lady in the house, no matter how good the idea was, no matter how much money she had, she couldn't do it
However, Yu Fangfei is not Yan Xiang, as soon as her mind moved, she thought of Wu Chengxian, "Admire the moon, you go to Wu Chengxian, ask him to help find someone, do this thing, tell him that this is a good opportunity to make a name, as long as he does it well, Mrs. Yan can look down on him, and if he wants to marry Yan Xiang, it will be much easier." โ
Carrying two silver tickets of five hundred taels in his arms, he went out to find Wu Chengxian. Yu Fangfei told Mrs. Yan that she wanted to go to the stone nunnery and begged the Buddha to let the dark clouds disperse, and the sky would be sunny after the rain, so don't rain again.
As soon as Yan Hagi heard that she was going to wash the stone hermitage again, he raised his eyes and glanced at her, but he didn't squeak, he wanted to grab her handle, of course he didn't squeak, and the squeak was not a scare to the snake. Yan Hong asked Yu Fangfei with a serious face, "Cousin Yu, is this cloud and rain also under the control of the Buddha?" โ
"The Buddha's Dharma is boundless, and if you want to come, you can let the dark clouds disperse." Before Yu Fangfei asked Yueyue to go to Wu Chengxian, she first went to the Chu Palace, and passed on a message, and asked Tang Wei to go to Xishi'an to see her and discuss important matters. Therefore, this trip to wash the stone hermitage, she is imperative.
"It's raining outside, it's inconvenient to go out, let's go back when it's sunny." Old Mrs. Yan frowned, this person has grown up, and there are more things, and his heart is so wild, he wants to run out all day long.
Yu Fangfei's face showed a hint of urgency, she has made an appointment, how can she not go? Yan Hao has been paying attention to her, seeing this, knowing that if Yu Fangfei goes out today, she will have a harvest, and said with a smile: "Grandmother, just because it rains, I have to ask for the Buddha, and when the rain is over, what else do you ask for?" โ
Yu Fangfei looked at Yan Hagi in surprise, she didn't expect Yan Hagi to help her speak. Yan Hagi noticed her eyes, afraid of arousing her suspicions, and said casually: "The rain does not stop, there are many places in the city, the people are displaced, look so pitiful, I also look forward to the rain soon and the sky will be clear, Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless." If I wasn't afraid that I would get sick in the rain, I would like to go to the nunnery and ask the Buddha. This rain really can't fall anymore, it looks like the autumn harvest is about to begin, and the farmers have worked hard for a year, and they can't all rot in the fields. โ
"Yo, Xiaoxiao still knows about the autumn harvest!" Mrs. Yan smiled.
"Auntie, you are too underestimated, I have a book, the books are all written, spring ploughing and summer ploughing, autumn harvest and winter hiding, the four do not lose time." Yan Hagi shook his head and said.
Old Madam Yan was amused by her little smug appearance, and reached out and nodded her forehead, "It seems that this book is not in vain." โ
"I'm a talented girl." Yan Hagi boasted to himself again.
Yan Hong and Yan Jing, the two who were on the scene, immediately said: "Sister Twelve is a talented girl. โ
Yu Fangfei saw that the topic was diverted, and hurriedly called: "Aunt and grandmother." โ
Old Madam Yan turned her eyes to look at her, her gaze was cold, "You can go if you want." โ
With the permission of Mrs. Yan, Yu Fangfei happily went back to the courtyard to dress up, the first few times she went to wash the stone hermitage, she was to take care of those nuns, and today is the first time to ask Tang Wei. They hadn't seen each other in days, and she missed him so much, she had to get dressed up and go see him.
Yan Hagi followed out of Chunhui Courtyard, sent someone to wash the stone hermitage first, and on the way back to Yinian Courtyard, I saw Yu Fangfei hurriedly walking through the corridor, she was wearing a big red wide-sleeved peony dress, holding a flying fairy bun, and a golden golden step was inserted on her head. Look at her dress, it looks like she is going to worship the Buddha, and she is obviously going to meet her lover.
Yan Hagi thought for a moment, turned around and went to Chunhui Hall again, "Grandmother." โ
Mrs. Yan was reading the Buddhist scriptures when she saw her granddaughter coming back, "Xiaoxiao, do you have something to tell your grandmother?" โ
Yan Hagi told me about seeing Yu Fangfei's dress just now, and admitted very shamefully, "As soon as she said that she was going to wash the stone hermitage, I felt that there was a problem, so when my grandmother disagreed, I would only help her speak, I suspected her...... Having an affair with a man. Yan Hao wasn't sure if it was Tang Gan, so he didn't say Tang Gan's name.
"Xiaoxiao, you can't talk nonsense." Mrs. Yan hurriedly said that a woman's reputation is greater than the sky, and ruining people's reputation is tantamount to harming people's lives.
Yan Hagi put his arm around her and said, "Grandmother, I don't want to wronged her, so I've already asked people to go to the Shi'an to keep an eye on her." โ
"You girl, you are really bold, is this a matter of your little girl who has not yet come out of the cabinet?" Old Madam Yan asked with a straight face.
"Didn't I tell you?" Yan Hagi craned his neck and said in a stingy voice.
Old Madam Yan snorted heavily, and said sharply: "You give An Sheng to go back to your yard, you are not allowed to worry about this matter, so you should not know." โ
"Oh" Yan Hagi honestly went back to Yi Nian Courtyard and practiced her calligraphy.
Yu Fangfei sat in a carriage with a spring breeze on her face and went to the stone washing nunnery, entered the nunnery, and pretended to go to the Buddha to burn incense and worship before asking the middle-aged nun next to her, "Is there a quiet Zen room?" As she spoke, she handed the middle-aged nun a purse.
The middle-aged nun pinched her purse and said with a smile: "Yes, the donor, please come with the poor nun." โ
A woman kneeling in front of the Buddha next to her glanced up at them, and when the middle-aged nun led Yu Fangfei to the meditation room, she got up neatly, dodged, and followed not far away. watched Yu Fangfei enter the meditation room, watched the middle-aged nun leave, and watched the middle-aged nun bring tea in.
The woman hid in the corner, staring at the meditation room, and after about a quarter of an hour, the woman saw Tang Wei, looked left and right, and entered the meditation room. She covered her mouth in shock, Miss Biao and the prince of Chu had a tryst in the Shinunnery!
The woman didn't dare to get close to listen to the conversation between the two, tiptoed away, and returned to Yan's mansion, she originally planned to go to Yinian Courtyard to see Yan Hagi, but was also called to Chunhui Courtyard by Xiangyuan.
"The slave and maid greet the old lady, and the old lady is blessed." The woman knelt down and kowtowed.
"What did Miss Twelve tell you to do?" Old Madam Yan asked directly.
The woman replied, "Back to the old lady, Miss Twelve, I didn't let the slave or maid do anything." โ
Old Madam Yan was stunned, she was very satisfied with the woman's loyalty, but in this matter, the woman's loyalty was wrong, "Miss Twelve is young, do you think she should be involved in that matter?" โ
The woman bit the corner of her lower lip, "Old lady, Miss Twelve asked the slave maid to stare at Miss Table in the Shinunnery. โ
"Who have you met with Miss Cousin?" Old Madam Yan asked, in her selfish heart, she still didn't want Yu Fangfei to do such a thing that would damage her reputation.
"The person who met Miss Biao is the prince of Chu." The woman lowered her head, not daring to look at Old Madam Yan's face.
"Who? Who are you talking about? Old Madam Yan couldn't believe it and confirmed it again.
"Old lady, the man who met Miss Biao is the prince of Chu Wang." The woman repeated.
Old Madam Yan looked decadent, it seemed that Yu Fangfei didn't listen to a word of what she said before, but she accepted her on the surface, but secretly communicated with Tang Wei in private. hated that she didn't even notice it, and asked her little granddaughter to remind her that she was really old and useless.
