Chapter 134 Acquaintances in the city are prosperous
The eldest princess Fangyi is the only daughter of the first emperor, and the concubine Zhanyu is the second son of the Duke of Min.
Huo Sijin understood that Guo Yuling was the female official next to Princess Fangyi.
Guo Yuling had already walked over, and Huo Sijin couldn't help but stare at her back again.
Guo Yuling's back was straight, even if she was walking, the hairpin on her head didn't move at all, if Huo Zhi hadn't recognized her, Huo Sijin would never have imagined that the graceful and dignified woman in front of her was just a palace maid.
Guo Yuling is already so magnificent, and the eldest princess Fangyi doesn't know what kind of character she is.
Suddenly, there was a dry cough behind her, and Huo Sijin hurriedly withdrew her gaze from Guo Yuling, which was Mama Yan reminding her to pay attention to her manners.
Huo Rong was still looking at Guo Yuling, and she said to Huo Sijin: "Second sister, when I first met Guo Yuling, I was the same as you, and I thought she was the eldest princess of Fangyi at that time. ”
Huo Zhi turned around and made a silent gesture at her sister: "Shhh, it's embarrassing for people to hear." ”
Huo Rong smiled coquettishly and said to Huo Sijin: "Guo Yuling is the daughter of the Guo family in Gusu, she entered the palace at the age of six, she grew up in the palace, and her speech and demeanor are different from ours. ”
At this time, Mrs. Huo Wu called them in front, and the three little girls hurriedly caught up.
This is the first time Huo Sijin participated in the puja in the capital, the mother-in-law of the east and west mansions reported their own names, and there were old monks with white hair came over, Huo Sijin knew that the Huo family's east and west mansions were only in the corridor outside the hall.
Old Madam Feng and Old Madam Ou's faces suddenly sank, and they asked the old acquaintance: "Our Huo Mansion enters the palace every time, why is it arranged outside the palace this time?" ”
The incense money of the two prefectures was given separately, and it was also according to the old practice of previous years.
Although Huo Jiang is only the head of the Hanlin Academy, he is a second-grade member who has been a pavilion elder, and if the Huo family can't even enter the main hall, he will be regarded as a laughing stock.
The old acquaintance hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the two old ladies are not in a hurry, this festival is different from the previous time, the eldest princess Fangyi and the prince of Qing will also come, so the palace can only arrange the royal family and a few old ladies and old ladies of the noble family, and the young ladies of these families are also in the corridor, not only them, but also the families of Guo Shoufu and Jia Ge Lao and Fan Ge Lao." ”
Hearing this, Old Madam Feng and Old Madam Ou turned slightly pale.
King Qing has tied his hair, since he can no longer listen to the scriptures in the same hall with the female dependents, the noble family and the royal family have many marriages, and they are also relatives, so these old ladies of the noble family do not have to avoid suspicion, and the young female dependents of the family have to retreat to the corridor, separated by a screen outside the corridor, and can only faintly hear the sound of chanting in the hall.
However, among the ladies who came to the festival, a few of them came to listen to the scriptures sincerely.
Hearing that the eldest princess Fangyi was also here, Huo Sijin's heart moved slightly, she really wanted to meet this princess, she wanted to know what the princess was like.
When she glanced at it inadvertently, she saw the disappointment on her aunt Huo Yuan's face.
Huo Yuan also wants to see the eldest princess Fangyi?
A round table was placed in the corridor, and the table was covered with a plain tablecloth, and there were vegetarian tea and fruits. As soon as Huo Zhi and Huo Rong came, someone beckoned to them, Huo Zhi pulled Huo Sijin to go together, and there was a dry cough from Mama Yan behind her, Huo Sijin retracted her steps, she didn't want to go.
She sat next to Huo Yuan, and next to Huo Yuan sat the third aunt and grandmother Huo Min, she married to Baoding Mansion two years ago, and came to the capital last month to see Dr. Qianjinke, and has been living in her mother's house.
A girl came over and said to Huo Min: "Grandma Huo San, the slave maid is a gift from Liu Shilang, my fourth grandmother invites you to go and sit down." ”
Huo Min turned around and saw a round and jade woman sitting not far away, she smiled and nodded.
When Mrs. Ou saw it, she smiled and said, "It's not easy for you to go back to the capital, go play with the little sisters, you don't have to accompany me." ”
Before the fourth grandmother of the Liu family got married, she and Huo Min were handkerchiefs.
Huo Min wanted to take Huo Yuan with him, but Huo Yuan shook his head, and Huo Min had to go over by himself.
Only then did Huo Sijin realize that Huo Yuan was not guarding, and looked at the screen from time to time.
"Auntie, have you seen Eldest Princess Fangyi?" Huo Sijin asked, she guessed that Huo Yuan must be like her, wanting to see the demeanor of the eldest princess Fangyi.
Huo Yuan's eyes looked at the screen again, and said casually: "I saw it during the Great Dynasty Meeting." ”
Huo Sijin asked, "What do you look like?" Is it good-looking? ”
"I'm taller, and I'm good-looking." Huo Yuan went to look at the screen again.
Huo Sijin finally understood at this time that what Huo Yuan wanted to see was not the eldest princess Fangyi.
It's not the eldest princess, is it the king of Qing?
At this time, the ladies of Guofu, Zhaofu, Jiafu, and Fanfu came one after another, and the ladies of each family began to move around, and some young daughters-in-law came to greet the old lady of the district and Mrs. Feng, and the eldest lady and the fifth lady of Xifu took Huo Yan, the fifth lady who had not yet left the cabinet, to greet the old ladies of other families, and the corridor was lively for a while.
Huo Yuan refused to go anywhere, Old Madam Feng gave her a few looks, she didn't seem to see it, Old Madam Feng had no choice but to ignore her.
Without Huo Yuan with him, Huo Sijin didn't have to ask for peace, so he had to accompany Old Madam Feng.
At this moment, the monk came, and everyone knew that they were going to start preaching.
The corridor suddenly quieted down, and the sound of chanting came from outside the screen, the sound was not high, and it was not real, but everyone present knew that since the chanting had begun at this time, it was that Prince Qing and Princess Fangyi had arrived.
Huo Yuan's expression became anxious, she looked at the screen from time to time, and then looked out through the rattan hanging from the corridor.
Huo Sijin also followed her gaze, and saw that not far from the corridor, there were more than a dozen people standing, dressed like they were in the palace.
She guessed that these people should be the entourage brought by Qing Wangye, and the person her aunt wanted to see was really Qing Wangye.
There was a faint dry cough behind him, Huo Sijin retracted his gaze, no wonder Mama Yan didn't like her to follow her aunt, looking at Huo Yuan's unyielding appearance now, any person could see what he was thinking.
After a full hour, the lecture in the main hall ended, and the ladies in the corridor stood up one after another, some wanted to go to the temple for a walk, some went to talk to acquaintances, and some wanted to find an opportunity to meet the eldest princess Fangyi.
At this time, the old acquaintance with white hair came again and said to everyone: "Amitabha, there is a great good man who came to the temple to get married, and the abbot master invited the donors of all provinces to go to the Hall of Merit. ”
Everyone was stunned, they often come to Yongji Temple, all know the Hall of Merit, but no one has ever been there, because the door of the Hall of Merit is usually closed, and only a few virtuous monks in the temple can enter.
It is said that the last time the Hall of Merit was opened was 50 years ago, the Yellow River flooded, the people were not able to make a living, the Li family donated 50,000 taels of silver for the people along the Yellow River, and Yongji Temple opened the Hall of Merit.
This time, is there someone who wants to donate silver again?
