Chapter 4 Right and Wrong in the Temple

The two were talking in the house, when they suddenly heard Bai Ying at the door say, "Mama Liu, are you here?" Our ladies are all packed, and the girls are all ready. Just wait to kowtow to the old lady and go out. โ€

A slightly sharp voice said: "I was about to tell you, the old lady spoke, today I will exempt the fifth master and the third girl from asking for peace, let me go directly to the temple." โ€

Sanniang and Mama Zhao glanced at each other, Mama Zhao got up and picked up the book "Anecdotes of the Jianwu Dynasty" and walked to the bookshelf to put it away. Sanniang sat up straight and stroked the hem of her skirt. As soon as Mama Zhao put the book away, two people lifted the curtain and entered the bright room. The first one was Mama Liu, who was going to follow the car in the Sun family's yard today, followed by Bai Ying. Bai Yingyu said: "Third Miss, Mama Liu from the old lady's yard is here. โ€

Sanniang stood up and walked towards Mingma, and said softly: "It turned out to be the grandmother in my grandmother's yard, why didn't you tell me earlier?" โ€

Mama Zhao stepped forward to open the bead curtain for Sanniang, Sanniang came out of the study and saw a high cheekbone mama standing in the bright room, the mama saw her come out and looked up twice, and then bowed slightly and said a thousand blessings.

Mama Zhao saw that this woman was a little rude, and her face was not very good-looking. Sanniang gently patted Mama Zhao's hand, let her help her, and slowly sat down on the main seat.

"Mama Liu, please take a seat." Sanniang nodded and smiled at Mama Liu, and then instructed Bai Ying to serve tea.

Mama Liu looked at the two rows of eight rosewood chairs, and finally picked the last one on the right and sat down.

"There is no need for tea, if the third lady is ready to go out, if she is ready."

Sanniang glanced at Mama Zhao, and Mama Zhao stepped forward and stuffed a lilac-colored purse to Mama Liu. After taking it, Mama Liu checked it without a trace, and her eyes were a little satisfied.

Sanniang was about to speak, but the curtain of the door was lifted again, and another person entered uninvited, and the voice was one step ahead of the person.

"My sister has cleaned up?"

The person who came was dressed in a moon-white plain face, with a square face and a slightly dark complexion. is not very old, but the body is quite tall, and the body is also very strong, but it seems to be from someone else's background. But it is Sanniang's brother-in-law, Wang Wulang and Wang Jing.

The smile on Sanniang's face couldn't help but deepen, "Brother, has it been cleaned up?" โ€

Wang Jing grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "What do I have to clean up?" Mama had already taken care of my side, and I heard the rouge in the house say that you were still busy here, thinking that you had not cleaned up and read a book in the study for a while. โ€

Mama Zhao was very relieved to hear this, and a smile appeared on her face, the young master knew that it was good to work hard.

Mama Liu over there didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of the young master, so she stood up and stepped forward to salute and greet her.

Wang Jing saw that it was a strange mother, so she didn't care too much, and only nodded.

"Since my sister is all right, let's go to the grandmother's house."

Mama Liu hurriedly told the Sun family again about the instructions of the brothers and sisters not to ask for peace.

Sanniang smiled slightly and said, "Although my grandmother feels sorry for her grandchildren and doesn't want me to run back and forth with my brother." But the compassion of the elders is the love of the elders, but my brother and I dare not forget the rules. โ€

Wang Jing naturally did not object, and responded with a smile.

The brother and sister went to Sun's Songling Courtyard together.

When I arrived at the door of the main house, a little girl went in to say goodbye, but after a while, she came out and told Dao Sun that she was not in good spirits, and she was resting, so she disappeared, and asked the brothers and sisters to go out and come early tomorrow morning to say goodbye.

Sanniang responded with a smile, and Wang Jing went out of the courtyard to the second gate to take the carriage.

It doesn't matter if you see it, it's a matter of posture, and the etiquette must make people can't find faults.

The Kim family sent six wagons and eight guards from the outer court. Sanniang and Wang Jing each brought four girls, four mothers-in-law, and Mama Zhao and Mama Liu. Sanniang and Mama Zhao took a car, Mama Liu and Bai Zhi, and Bai Ying took a car. Wang Jing and the two maids in the house took a car, Angelica, and cinnabar. The rest of the maids and mothers-in-law were divided into three chariots, and the courtyard was surrounded by horses.

In the past year, this is the first time Wang Ke has left the house. He was riding in a black-lacquered purple elm carriage with a green satin mattress backrest and a low table with tea sets and snack boxes. Wang Ke moved his body without a trace, it was really impossible to say how comfortable this ancient carriage was, even if the carriage of the palace had done a good job in shock absorption. Wang Ke leaned on the pillow and looked out seemingly casually through the curtain that was occasionally lifted by the wind. Out of the house, drove through the Changle Street outside the palace gate, although this street is called the street, there are no pedestrians on the road, except for their team of people along the way, only saw a convoy similar to them passing head-on. The so-called people are divided into groups, and the people who want to come to this street to live are almost the same as the Wang family, which can be regarded as a rich settlement in ancient times.

Out of Changle Street, there are gradually some pedestrians, and when they turn into the main street of Qingcheng County, the unique noise of the street seems to suddenly pour into their ears from all directions. Wang Ke suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had finally arrived in the world, and she herself was amused by her ridiculous idea, but the atmosphere in the palace had indeed made people feel a little depressed this year.

There are many shops on both sides of the street, and occasionally look into one is also a variety of goods, bustling with customers, which can be seen that people's lives in this era are quite stable, and the degree of development of the commodity economy can be comparable to that of the late Ming Dynasty.

Out of the downtown area, the carriage also sped up. Wang Ke couldn't help but feel that it was no wonder that women rarely went out in ancient times, and women who were weaker in this way of traveling might really not be able to stand it for a long time. Fortunately in the city, the road is quite smooth, and most of the roads are loess roads from the inner city to the western suburbs.

The carriage traveled for more than an hour, and when it arrived at the Qingming Temple, it was already the middle hour, and it was about 10 o'clock according to the modern hour.

Qingming Temple is located in the western suburbs of the city, is the largest temple in Qingcheng County, and the incense is very vigorous. Wang Sanniang's status in the Wang family is not very good, and today's entourage is not huge, according to Mrs. Zhao's words, today's pomp and circumstance is very aggrieved in her identity. But the face of the Wang family is still important, in order to receive the young lady of the Wang family, the Qingming Temple is closed today, and only a few official daughters who are familiar with the temple on weekdays are received.

The monk who was waiting at the gate of the temple welcomed the group into the temple. At this time, a family came out of the temple, and Mama Zhao saw that the people who came were all women, so she didn't make a sound, and helped Sanniang to go inside.

She was greeted by a middle-aged woman, followed by a woman who might be her daughter-in-law, and she was gorgeously dressed. The two sides looked at each other from a distance, the young lady glanced at the clothes on their bodies and turned her head, the older lady bowed slightly to them, and Wang Sanniang also smiled and nodded in return.

The two sides passed by. There was a sudden "ouch" over there, and the young woman in Chinese clothes didn't know if she had stepped on a stone on the ground or tripped over something, and she was about to fall down if she was unstable. A green-clothed maid behind her reached out in time to support her, but she turned her head to see who it was and slapped her.

"You dead hoof, you deliberately tripped over me and wanted to kill the child in my belly, didn't you?"

The maid was slapped by her and fell to the ground unsteadily, and when she heard this, she immediately looked up in horror. At this time, everyone couldn't help but praise this girl's appearance, so beautiful and beautiful. This girl does not apply fat powder, dresses plainly, and the jewelry on her body is only a black silver hairpin on her head. But it is apricot eyes and snow skin, and a cinnabar mole between her eyebrows makes her beautiful and not like a mortal.

"The slave saw that the young lady's body was unstable, so she stretched out her hand to help her, and she never stumbled the young lady."

But the young lady could not hear her argument, and raised her hand to slap it again.

The middle-aged lady next to her scolded: "Enough, do you want people to see our He family's jokes?" Let's talk about it later. โ€

When the young woman heard this, she was not reconciled, but she had no choice but to give up. This is the end of a farce.

Looking at the group of people who were far away, Sanniang couldn't help but shake her head, and she was also a little worried about the fate of the beautiful maid.

Others saw this scene as if they were accustomed to it and did not take it seriously.

The monk introduced the group into the small courtyard where the ladies of the big families had a temporary rest, and then retreated to arrange the next matters in the dojo. Everyone didn't get out of the car all the way, and they were sweating a little in the car, so they changed their clothes and freshened up.

Mama Zhao took the handkerchief handed over by Bai Zhi to help Sanniang wipe her face, while still complaining in a whisper: "On such a hot day, how can you do without an ice kettle in the car?" Look at the sweat on this face. โ€

Sanniang smiled helplessly, in fact, she was not easy to sweat, it was not noon when she was on the road, and the temperature had not risen yet, so she didn't feel how hot. In order to prevent Mama Zhao from nagging again, she asked Bai Zhi, "Why don't you see Mama Liu?" โ€

Bai Zhi was about to answer, but Bai Ying entered the house and said, "Mama Liu just went to the direction of the main hall, saying that she was going to the front to arrange some dots and help the old lady donate sesame oil money." โ€

Sanniang pondered for a moment, then looked up and said to Bai Ying: "You follow and take a look to see if there is anything you need help with." โ€

Bai Ying answered.

After everyone finished resting, Wang Jing also changed his clothes and came over. Wang Jing is afraid of heat, and his clothes are a little sweaty all the way. After a while, Bai Ying came back from outside and saw that Wang Jing was also there, so she stood behind Sanniang with her hands down.

Sanniang took a sip of the Kuding tea prepared in the temple and said to Wang Jing: "Brother will go to the front when he is rested to see if there is any etiquette to be fulfilled." โ€

Wang Jing nodded in response, put down the tea bowl in his hand, "Sister, don't worry, everything has my brother!" You're not in good health, and you're tired from driving and riding all the way just now, so take a good rest. So saying, he turned and left.

Sanniang turned her head and asked Bai Zhi: "Have you packed up the incense, candles, fruits and other things prepared in the car?" โ€

Bai Zhi said: "I have ordered the little girl to bring it." โ€

Sanniang nodded: "You lead the girls and mothers-in-law to set up an incense case in the front yard, and I want to worship my mother." If there is a shortage, send someone to ask for the monk who just now. โ€

Bai Zhi led the little girls to go.
