Chapter 28: Another Pomegranate Flower
The next day, several people got up early in the morning, and after breakfast, they were ready to leave for Guangxiao Temple.
The carriage that had been booked yesterday also arrived on time, Mo Xiaodie and Wei Chengxuan got into the carriage first, and after waiting for a while, Yuan Hongjie helped Wei Ziqing to come up.
Wei Chengxuan couldn't help but said narrowly: "The eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law have something to whisper, they have been talking for a long time!" ”
Yuan Hongjie said with a smile: "It's just that there are some family things to explain to your eldest sister, I'm afraid I will forget it when I come back." ”
Mo Xiaodie looked at Wei Ziqing's somewhat trance-like expression, and her sad eyes that unconsciously glanced at Wei Chengxuan, and felt a little clear in her heart.
Last night, Wei Ziqing said that the two sisters hadn't talked by candle for a long time, so they took her to stay in the main room together and drove the two men to the guest room.
And Wei Chengxuan said yesterday that he specially brought a freshly written article to Yuan Hongjie to show and wanted him to guide and guide, and it seems that the results of this guidance are not very optimistic.
Yuan Hongjie is a careful person, thinking that he saw that the autumn was coming, and he didn't want Wei Chengxuan to be distracted, so he hid this matter.
Wei Ziqing is a person who cares too much about his younger siblings, and it is estimated that he just caught the time when the two of them were alone to ask his husband about it, and after learning about the situation, his emotions were a little uncontrollable.
In fact, Mo Xiaodie was not very surprised by this result, how many people can really be self-taught? No matter how talented and clever the mind is, it is difficult to become a great tool without guidance.
This autumn, the chance that Wei Chengxuan can be admitted is too low, unless a miracle happens!
Fortunately, Wei Ziqing quickly adjusted his mood, laughed with them as usual, and occasionally teased Yuan Sitian who was held in Yuan Hongjie's arms, so Wei Chengxuan didn't notice anything unusual.
Soon, their carriage came to the gate of the city, and although they had gone out early in the morning, there were still many people out of the city today.
And the strange thing is that there is a long queue in front of the city gate, whether it is people leaving the city or horse-drawn carriages, they have to be checked, but those who enter the city on the other side do not, as usual, as long as they can show the relevant documents.
Yuan Hongjie lifted the curtain of the car and looked at it a few times, frowned slightly, and said: "Something may have happened, no matter how many people went out of the city in the past, I have never seen such a battle." ”
When it was their turn, they realized that the inspection was very strict and meticulous, and if they were walking out of the city, they would be searched and their luggage would be checked, and if they were in a carriage, the officials would have to get into the carriage to take a closer look.
Wei Ziqing's face showed a little uneasiness, Yuan Hongjie shook her hand, and asked in a deep voice when the official messenger got into their carriage to check, "This brother, may I ask what happened in the city?" ”
The official was originally impatient, and his patience had long since been exhausted when he was called over early in the morning to check on the people who had left the city one by one, but suddenly, he saw clearly that in this simple-looking carriage, there were two women with the posture of heaven and man.
One is dignified and beautiful, with a woman's bun, obviously married, and the other with a delicate and elegant haircut, that face is a little more delicate than the woman, and can't help but show a flattering smile and say: "This Langjun doesn't know, there was an accident again last night!"
Yesterday, there was a Lang Jun who was studying abroad in Yang Sai Restaurant and returned to Beijing, preparing to participate in this year's Autumn Festival, who expected that he would meet gangsters before he arrived at Yang's house, there were two in total, and he wanted to kidnap his two-year-old daughter.
That Yang Langjun dragged his family home from the field, fearing that he would encounter robbers on the road, so he specially invited a dart master, who heard that he was also famous in the rivers and lakes, and fought with the two gangsters, subdued one, injured the other, and those gangsters did not succeed.
The one who was subdued bit his tongue and committed suicide on the spot, and the one who was injured had more kung fu and escaped, and we investigated it so strictly, just to prevent the injured gangster from escaping from the city. ”
Wei Ziqing unconsciously reached over and shook Yuan Sitian's little hand, in front of him was the child of Du Xiang's family, and now it is Yang Sai Restaurant, is this gangster deliberately or looking for someone to commit murder at random, but just happened to find these two?
No matter what, this son of heaven is too arrogant! And their targets turned out to be these children who were only a few years old, and these children were taken captive, and they didn't know what they were going to be scared of!
Their parents, I'm afraid, are also worried.
The official finished watching this small carriage in a few glances, and secretly glanced at Mo Xiaodie a few times out of the corner of his eye, reluctant to give up, and searched his stomach to find something to say, and he really found a strange thing that he had missed, "By the way, you have all heard of the disappearance of Du Xiang's concubine, right?" It is said that the gangster who bit his tongue and committed suicide had nothing on him, except a pomegranate flower that was so red that it dripped, which looked strange and unlucky!
But you don't have to worry too much, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has spoken, this city must be locked to death, and the gangsters must not be allowed to escape from the city, and there are a lot more officers and soldiers patrolling the city today! ”
The people in the carriage were stunned.
After the official finished speaking, he couldn't think of anything to delay the time, and reluctantly peeked at Mo Xiaodie a few times before withdrawing.
Mo Xiaodie naturally noticed the official's peeking gaze, but after being looked at a few times, there would be no loss of meat, and people didn't blatantly look at it, so they didn't take it seriously, but because of occupational diseases, they were already analyzing what the official said just now in their minds.
Pomegranate flowers appeared in both cases, most likely by the same group of people.
Moreover, those gangsters can fight with famous dart masters in the rivers and lakes, and one of them successfully escaped, which shows that the force value of these gangsters is definitely not low.
Not your average villain!
It should not be a coincidence that they found the Du family and the Yang family, but the result of their plan.
Moreover, they all have one thing in common in their choice of victims, either the neglected concubine or the unnoticed Langjun who returns home from home, what does this mean?
Because of hearing such a thing, after leaving the city gate, several people in the carriage were a little silent, until Wei Ziqing suddenly lifted the curtain of the car, looked at the pomegranate flowers occasionally seen on the mountain road outside, and muttered a little uneasily: "The pomegranate flowers on this mountain are really blooming." ”
Yuan Hongjie comforted her: "If you feel uneasy, why don't you go back first and come back next time?" ”
Wei Ziqing saw Wei Chengxuan's slightly gloomy expression, he couldn't bear it, pursed his lips and said: "Xuan'er is about to take the exam, I won't go back this time, I don't know when I will have a chance next time, we will go back immediately after the incense." ”
Lilac also lifted the curtain and looked at it, and said with a smile: "The slave and maid look at the people who go to worship the Buddha, there is no shortage of people, we don't have to be so nervous, that gangster is injured, and he is still in the city, we may be safer out of the city than in the city!" ”
Yuan Hongjie smiled and said with a hammer: "Okay, we will go back immediately after the incense." ”
As he spoke, he took out the kettle and handed it to Wei Ziqing, "It takes about half an hour to go to Guangxiao Temple in a carriage, it's a big day today, you drink more water."
Ziyi and Chengxuan too, don't get heat stroke. ”
With Yuan Hongjie mobilizing the atmosphere, several people in the carriage began to talk and laugh again, and Wei Ziqing's slightly pinching heart gradually relaxed.
Guangxiao Temple was on the highest part of a small hill outside Xiangyang City, and they went early, avoiding the most congested time, and arrived quickly.
In the morning light, there is a sense of solemn majesty, in the place where they got off, they had to walk a hundred steps to get to the temple, Wei Ziqing is pregnant, walk slowly, Mo Xiaodie and a few of them also slowed down, slowly accompanied her up.
When she arrived at the temple, Wei Ziqing first accompanied Mo Xiaodie and Wei Chengxuan to worship the Buddha and Bodhisattva one by one, and finally arrived at the place where she wanted to worship Guanyin, knelt down on the futon with Yuan Hongjie, took the incense handed by the little monk, closed his eyes and reverently recited something.
Lilac, who was holding Yuan Sitian, sighed lightly and said, "I hope that Mrs. can give birth to a little Langjun in this birth, otherwise it will ......"
She didn't say the next words, but Mo Xiaodie knew that the ancients re-inherited, and Wei Ziqing gave birth to a daughter in her first child, so she must be under pressure in her heart.
Xin Yi said that Yuan Hongjie's family is a farmer who has been farming for generations, and it was only in his generation that there was a Jinshi who glorified his ancestors, and the elders in the family valued him very much, and naturally attached more importance to the inheritance of his house.
When the time comes, it is possible to force Wei Ziqing to give Yuan Hongjie a concubine.
Mo Xiaodie felt a little uncomfortable, and it was only at this time that she finally had a sense of reality that she had come to a world where women's status was relatively low.
Suddenly, Wei Chengxuan, who was on the side, pulled her clothes and whispered in her ear: "Second sister, look, the woman from the Guo family is also here." ”
Mo Xiaodie was stunned for a moment, turned her head to look over, and sure enough, under a Bodhi tree not far away, Guo was talking to a dignified woman in a long purple gown, and she was followed by a petite and delicate young woman, who she thought was Wei Ziyu, the fourth lady she had never met so far.
I saw Wei Ziyu bowing her head slightly, looking elegant and shy, but her eyes always secretly glanced in the direction of the woman who was talking to Guo.
There, a young man in a royal blue robe stood tall, his eyebrows were delicate and elegant, his expression was gentle but detached, and he stood there as if he was cultivating bamboo, faintly with a posthumous and independent demeanor.
