Because she got up too early and was about to "meet" Mrs. Xiang in the temple, Eleven Niang sent two mothers-in-law to Jining yesterday afternoon to ask for a clean and secluded room. After breakfast, the group went to the wing. Jining still had morning class to do, so after saying a few words with him, he got up and said goodbye.

Eleven Niang served Mrs. Tai and rested.

The second lady pointed to the big kang near the window outside: "The fourth brother and sister have worked hard, let's rest!" I went outside for a walk. ”

The kang is quite large, and there is no problem at all to sleep two people. She said this because she didn't want to sleep in the same bed with herself. And Eleven Niang does not have the habit of sharing a bed with strangers. She smiled: "The second sister-in-law got up early today, so the second sister-in-law should rest!" He added, "I just want to ask Mrs. Jining for a few peace charms for me." ”

The second lady knew that there were two aunts of the Luo family who were monks here, so she smiled, no longer polite, and was served by Jiexiang on the kang. Eleven Niang took Mother Song and Amber out of the house.

"Madame really wants to go to Jining Shitai to ask for a peace charm?" Amber asked, hesitantly.

"Hmm!" Eleven Niang smiled, "People said in front of me for almost two hours that day, 'you should have no place to live and give birth to your heart', we must have a reaction!" "Then let Song's mother go and invite Jining over," ...... We can't just run around the temple like this! ”

Mother Song's expression was obviously relaxed when she heard this.

She was really afraid that the fourth lady would propose to go shopping. If you meet those disciples who go to the temple to drill into the temple, it will be troublesome - if it spreads, it is always the reputation of the woman who suffers.

As if she was afraid that Eleven Niang would change her mind, she hurriedly responded "yes" and turned around and walked out of the small courtyard.

Amber is not good at mentioning her aunt's affairs. asked Eleven Niang: "Is Mrs. tired?" Why don't we have another room? I'll send a little maid to keep an eye on this side, and I'll report to you as soon as there's any movement. ”

"No need." Eleven Niang smiled, "I'll go home after lunch." When the time comes, it is better to be able to squint in the car than to sleep restlessly like this. ”

Amber no longer insisted, saw a small pavilion behind the wing, and said, "Why don't I accompany my wife to sit over there?" ”

Got up too early, people were full of energy, plus the air was fresh, and there were occasional birds chirping in the forest, and Eleven Niang was also interested.

"Good! Let's go and sit in the pavilion! ”

Amber should be, let the little maid bring cushions, tea sets and other things, and accompanied Eleven Niang to the pavilion in the mountains.

Leaning on the beauty fence of the pavilion and looking down, you can just see the release pond of Ciyuan Temple.

Although it was morning, and it was not the first or fifteenth day of the new year, the release pond gradually became lively like a vegetable market. There were old women in ragged clothes, young women in beautiful clothes, and a few small children surrounded by servants......

Eleven Niang took the initiative to mention the two aunts: "Since you are out of the house, let go of all the worldly things!" Let's not bother them! ”

Amber nodded and offered hot tea to Eleven Niang.

Eleven Niang stood up suddenly: "Amber, look! Is that person Lu Yonggui? ”

Amber was taken aback and looked in the direction pointed by Eleven Niang. I saw a middle-aged man in a lilac-colored robe. He is of medium stature and has a very calm demeanor. It is very eye-catching in a group of female dependents. But it was too far away for her to be sure.

Eleven Niang looked solemn and ordered her: "You call a little guy to accompany you to take a look!" ”

Amber didn't dare to delay and left.

Eleven Niang sat down slowly.

Both aunts entered the house at a very young age and knew nothing about the outside world. chose to come to Yanjing...... People usually have an inexplicable affection for the city because they have familiar people in an unfamiliar city!

Thinking of this, she was a little impetuous.

Is that person Lu Yonggui or not? If so, what did he do at Ciyuan Temple, where the two aunts practiced? Is it a coincidence? Still is...... Lu Yonggui is Yuan Niang's most trusted companion, managing Brother Chen's industry, while the two aunts are incompatible with the eldest wife. Will there be a secret between them?

Eleven Niang was a little worried. Thinking of the words of the two aunts who lied to themselves at the beginning, thinking of Aunt Yang's death, and thinking of Shi Niang's suicide on the day of her marriage...... Her fingers holding the teacup were slightly pale.

Lu Yun reminded Eleven Niang softly: "Fourth lady, Mrs. Jining is here!" ”

Eleven Niang let out an "oh", collected her feelings, and stood up with a smile.

Mother Song accompanied Jining, who was slightly gasping, into the small pavilion.

"The fourth lady really knows how to choose a place." Jining saluted and said with a smile, "This small pavilion is called the Viewing Pavilion. It is the best pavilion in our Ciyuan Temple. Then he pointed to the release pond at the bottom of the mountain, "not only can you see the release pond," and then pointed to a forest on the right, "You can also see the plum blossoms all over the mountain." It's a pity that the fourth lady came late. If you have scalded a pot of wine two months in advance, it is also a great thing to sit here and enjoy the snow and plum blossoms. ”

Eleven Niang was thinking about the figure and socializing with Jining.

Jining saw that Eleven Niang was not very interested in talking, so he welcomed her to a small Buddhist hall not far from the wing, incense Guanyin Bodhisattva, wrote a peace charm, folded it into a triangle and put it in a stone blue brocade purse embroidered with white lotus.

Eleven Niang lost twenty taels of sesame oil money.

Jining sent Eleven Niang back to the yard. On the way, I told her about the two aunts: "...... The two aunts don't step out of the door, don't go out of the second door, and have been concentrating on practice! ”

In the flint light, Eleven Niang changed her mind.

She smiled and said, "Since you're here, you have to go and meet the two aunts!" ”

Jining is not afraid that Eleven Niang needs her, but he is afraid that Eleven Niang does not need her.

She smiled and led Eleven Niang to a three-entry courtyard behind the small Buddha hall.

The yard is cleaned up, the bluestone bricks are paved, and the Xiangfei bamboo is planted, which is very elegant.

The two aunts live in the back of the courtyard, and the two suites are bright and dark. There is a Buddha statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva on the long side of the middle hall of the bright room, and there are two straw gardens in front of the Buddha statue, and there is nothing else in the house. The two aunts were wearing green silk ties, combed buns, and inserted peach hairpins. The eldest aunt is still a group of harmony, and the second aunt is still as cold as ice. But compared to the Luo family, the two of them looked much better. Especially the eldest aunt, who has gained a whole circle.

"Now we are laymen, the house is simple, Miss Eleven will take care of it!" The eldest aunt looked at Eleven Niang's eyes with a hint of shame, turned around and went into the room and brought out the Taishi chair, "Please take a seat!" ”

The second aunt looked at it without saying a word, and took out the Taishi chair from the inner room and put it beside Jining: "Master, please take a seat." Although he is not enthusiastic, he is not indifferent, and he is not as sharp as Eleven Niang's memory.

"I don't know what happened to the master accompanying Miss Eleven?" The second aunt stood silently aside, and the eldest aunt greeted them.

"I can't call Miss Eleven anymore." Jining glanced at the eleventh lady who was silent, and smiled to enliven the atmosphere, "Your family's eleventh lady is now Mrs. Yongping Hou." I want to call Mrs. Xu! ”

The eldest aunt smiled and shouted "Mrs. Xu": "Why did you suddenly think of coming to see us!" ”

"Today, I accompanied Mrs. Tai to the temple to offer incense," Shi Niang said briefly, "Come and have a look by the way!" ”

The little master who answered the door brought them tea in.

Jining personally presented it to Eleven Niang.

The fragrance is fragrant, it is the best Ming Dynasty Longjing, take a sip, and the mouth is fragrant. Although it is not as good as Mrs. Tai's reward, it is not much worse.

Jining saw that Shi Niang didn't make a sound, just sat there and drank tea, so he stood up with a smile: "Madame sits here, I'll go and see how the fasting meal prepared for Mrs. Tai is doing!" ”

Eleven Niang didn't keep her, and told Mother Song to send her out, and then suddenly said, "What is Lu Yonggui doing here?" ”

The two aunts' faces changed dramatically when they heard this.

Eleven Niang had a bottom in her heart, and sat there drinking tea slowly.

"Nothing!" The eldest aunt reluctantly showed a smile, "The folks in the big hometown, he just came to see us when he returned to Yanjing occasionally!" ”

Eleven Niang stood up: "In that case, then I'll go and ask Lu Yongfu, right?" He is Lu Yonggui's brother, and he should know some things! ”

When the eldest aunt heard this, she hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Eleven Niang's sleeve: "Mrs. Xu, it's not about Lu Yonggui and Lu Yongfu's brothers!" There was a bit of panic in his expression.

The second aunt let out a long sigh: "Miss Eleven has now become Mrs. Yongping Hou, and her behavior is very different. She looked at Eleven Niang's faint lips and curled slightly, and there was a hint of mockery between her eyebrows, "It's not a secret." The old people of the Luo family know it. Since Mrs. Xu came to the door specifically for this matter, it is not a way of hospitality for us to hide it.

Before I was taken in by the eldest lord, I was engaged to the nephew of the cattle manager. Lu Yonggui and Lu Yongfu lost their fathers when they were young, thanks to the help of the cattle manager, and later arranged for them to enter the house and become small servants. Speaking of which, we also have some origins. When we meet someone from another country, Steward Lu inevitably wants to come and see us. ”

Questioning, you have to come up with evidence!

Eleven Niang put it down for the time being.

"Why did Aunt Yang commit suicide?" She stared into the eyes of the eldest aunt, "Two aunts, don't tell me that you don't know?" Shi Niang was sent to Yanjing by a dart bureau with you! ”

The eldest aunt's expression darkened when she heard this, and she sighed slightly, but she didn't feel guilty.

"Aunt Yang has had a cold since she was kneeled in the ancestral hall by the eldest lady." The second aunt said calmly, "The eldest lady has never given her a doctor, and if she drags it around, it becomes tuberculosis." The few private money in her hand were almost spent. For the sake of Shi Niang's future, she had to force Shi Niang to flatter the eldest wife. Seeing that the eldest lady had no intention of being lenient at all, she only said that the eldest lady was unreliable. Just talk to the two of us. Let the two of us escort Shi Niang to Yanjing. The matter of inviting the dart game is also all Aunt Yang's idea. As for suicide, ......" the second aunt smiled coldly when she said this, "I have long been terminally ill, so instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to give it a go." Counting on the old man's affection for the past, and for the sake of Shi Niang's love for his daughter who grew up under his nose and loved the most, he could promise Shi Niang a future. ”

Who knows, this man is not reliable at all!
