Mrs. Qu did not leave Mrs. Pan for lunch, Mrs. Pan sat down for a while, and then took her leave.

Although Mrs. Pan did not bluntly ask to marry Lu Jiayue, her intention was already about to come out.

Qu Yi and Meng both felt that this was a good marriage, but when the two of them looked at their words and looks, it was not difficult to see that Old Madam Qu didn't seem to like marrying Lu Jiayue to Jing'an Houfu.

As for why, Mrs. Qu did not explicitly refuse Mrs. Pan, so it was difficult for Qu Yi and Meng to ask.

After coming out of the upper room, Qu Yi asked Meng Shi to go back and ask Lu Jiayue's heart, if she nodded, it would naturally be easy to do.

Although Mrs. Qu loves Lu Jiayue, she is not her own grandmother, and in the matter of marriage, Mrs. Qu cannot be the master.

Meng Shi came to Chuntang Residence, summoned Lu Jiayue to no one's place, and asked and persuaded her, but Lu Jiayue gritted her teeth and did not let go.

"Auntie, it's not that I look down on Jing'an Houfu, I just don't want to get married now... Decide to marry first? That's not good, my house and Jing'an Houfu are not right, the household is not right, I don't dare to climb high... Don't worry about me, I really don't want to get married yet..."

Meng Shi's mouth was dry, but Lu Jiayue still couldn't prick the needle and couldn't splash the water.

Meng couldn't, so he had to go back first.

Walking all the way, Mama Zhang, who was close to her, suddenly had an idea.

"There is such a good family in Jing'an Houfu, Miss Biao is unwilling, why doesn't Mrs. talk about our girl? Our girl doesn't lose to Miss Cousin, Mrs. only worries about the marriage for Miss Cousin, but forgets about our girl. ”

A sentence woke up Meng Shi, and hurriedly went to Qu Ying's courtyard again.

Who expected that Qu Ying would see through the words, but Qu Ying pushed faster than Lu Jiayue.

Meng Shi was so angry with these two girls that he panicked, and went back to his room, not even eating lunch, and kept lying crooked on the soft couch until the evening when the eldest master Qu Hong came back.

Meng Shi told Qu Hong about this.

Qu Hong smiled: "You don't have to be busy with Ying'er's marriage, I have already taken a good look at a man for her." ”

Meng Shi was taken aback and hurriedly asked whose child it was.

"You have also seen it, it is Liang Shaokuan's son, Liang Hao." Qu Hong said, with a look of approval on his face, "The fourth brother and Liang Shaokuan are in the same Metropolitan Procuratorate, I have entrusted the fourth brother to find out what Liang Shaokuan means, if he has nothing to say, we can discuss Ying'er's marriage." ”

Meng was still worried about Liang Shaokuan's crime against the King of Wei, but after a dispute with Qu Hong last time, she didn't dare to put her beak too much.

I think Liang Hao's child is not bad, he looks dignified, knows etiquette and etiquette, I heard that he can also read, Liang Shaokuan is a loyal, good and upright person, and the son he taught must not be wrong.

So he didn't mean to brush Qu Hong, and nodded in acquiescence.

Because the eighth day of the fourth month is the Buddha Bathing Festival, Mrs. Qu is a person who believes in Buddhism, so she will go to the Mirror Moon Nunnery to incense.

Jingyue Nunnery is a royal nunnery, and the people who come and go are also some officials in Beijing, and the nunnery is located on the beautiful scenery of the Cui Mountain, come and go into a back incense, and you can also enjoy a scene by the way, so the incense in the nunnery has been prosperous.

Qu Wei heard that Mrs. Qu was going out, and she wanted to follow, but was stopped by Mrs. Qu.

Lu Jiayue didn't want to go, but she was invited by the person sent by Mrs. Qu, and took a carriage with Mrs. Qu to go out of the city to Jingyue Nunnery.

Now it is the early summer, the carriage travels all the way, everywhere it passes is verdant vegetation, wild flowers are splendid, sometimes there are colorful butterflies flying in the mountains and fields, summer insects lie in the grass on the roadside, chirping, one after another.

Lu Jiayue felt very happy.

It's not bad to go out once in a while and take a look at the scenery of the mountains and forests.

Mrs. Qu closed her eyes and recuperated, opened her eyes from time to time, and said a few words of laughter with Lu Jiayue.

The carriage traveled for more than an hour and came at the foot of Pacui Mountain. There is a small sedan chair at the bottom of the mountain, and I took the small sedan chair up the mountain and entered the Jingyue Temple.

The little nun who was waiting for the guests led the way, and Lu Jiayue and the maids helped Mrs. Qu to a clean meditation room and took a nap first.

After drinking a cup of tea and taking a short break, Mrs. Qu took Lu Jiayue to the main hall to incense.

The Guanyin Bodhisattva on the lotus throne is solemn, smiling and overlooking the joys and sorrows of the world, love, hatred, and hatred.

The hall is full of smoke and a strong smell of sandalwood, which lasts for a long time.

Mrs. Qu entered the incense, and called Lu Jiayue: "You also come to a pillar of incense, let the Bodhisattva bless you with a good marriage and a peaceful life." ”

Lu Jiayue's face turned red and she was a little embarrassed. But Mrs. Qu's expression was dignified, and she didn't seem to be smiling, so she didn't dare to be frivolous, respectfully took a pillar of incense, knelt under the Guanyin seat, prayed, and put the incense in.

Old Madam Qu took Lu Jiayue's hand and said with a smile: "The palace is depressed, accompany me out for a walk." ”

Lu Jiayue had never been to Jingyue Nunnery, and she didn't know the way, so she was led around by Mrs. Qu in the nunnery, and after a short time, she stopped outside a courtyard.

The courtyard is not big, the courtyard door is empty, you can see a Bodhi tree in the courtyard, and there are four or five meditation rooms, which are very clean and tidy.

Standing outside the courtyard gate, a little maid ran over, looked at Mrs. Qu and Lu Jiayue, and said, "How many of you are ---?"

Old Madam Qu said with a smile: "Please spread the word, and say that the old lady of the Qu family came to visit." ”

When the little maid heard this, her expression immediately became respectful.

"Wait a minute, I'll go and tell the old lady."

But after a while, the little maid ran back and said with a smile: "Please come in, the old lady is sitting in the meditation room and waiting for you." ”

Old Madam Qu entered the courtyard with a smile.

Lu Jiayue helped Mrs. Qu to come in together, but she was secretly strange in her heart.

It is said that this is also the meditation room of Jingyue Nunnery, but this courtyard does not look like a monk lives, and it is not a little nun who is called, but a little maid...

I don't know who lives in this courtyard?

Led by the little maid, when I entered the meditation room, I saw an old woman sitting on the soft kang under the south window.

The old woman looked a few years older than Mrs. Qu, wearing a light gray crepe Buddha robe, her gray hair was pulled into a bun without any mess, but there was no hairpin ornament, she was holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, and she was muttering Buddhist scriptures in her mouth.

Seeing Mrs. Qu and Lu Jiayue coming in, she stood up, smiled faintly at Mrs. Qu, and said, "Today is the birthday of the Buddha, I thought you would come, and sure enough, you came." ”

"It's good to come out and walk around, what's the difference between being bored in that deep house compound all day long and keeping birds in cages." Old Madam Qu smiled and sat down next to the old woman.

The little maid brought tea, Lu Jiayue took it, first served it to Mrs. Qu, and then took one in her hand.

The old woman looked at Lu Jiayue with a smile on her face, "What a watery little girl--- this is not your granddaughter, which relative did you bring it from?" ”

Lu Jiayue pursed her lips and smiled.

This old woman looked kind and kind, and her expression was calm and tranquil, which made people can't help but feel warm and intimate at a glance.

The words are so funny and easy-going.

Old Madam Qu also smiled and took Lu Jiayue's hand, "This is the niece and daughter of my eldest daughter-in-law, her father was released, and she lives in our house now." ”

He patted Lu Jiayue's hand lightly again, and said with a smile: "Girl Yue, I've seen Mrs. Ding soon." ”
