Chapter 226** (I)

Hearing the words of the Taoist priest, Rong Hua couldn't help frowning.

It is said that these people can know the secret of heaven, but they have not heard of anyone who has turned evil into good fortune because of the guidance of Taoist priests, but has been cheated of a lot of money.

Rong Hua left the main hall and asked Jinxiu, "Did the Taoist priest say anything?" ”

Jinxiu shook his head, "I didn't listen to it, but the Taoist priest said that Madame, she was born a rich and noble person, but she had a bad fate......

Mrs. Xue is young and widowed, is this what she is referring to?

Rong Hua and Jinxiu walked into the side courtyard together, and the mothers-in-law who were waiting there hurriedly stepped forward to serve, Rong Hua cleaned his hands and changed the handkerchief and white gauze hat, and then took people out from the side door of the temple together.

Rong Hua asked Jinxiu, "Where did my mother meet the Taoist priest?" ”

Jinxiu pointed, "It's in the bamboo forest not far ahead." ”

Today's trip, she has already taken care of the top and bottom, how could she let a Taoist priest break in.

Jinxiu said: "That Taoist priest is the most famous iron mouth in the capital recently. I'm afraid it was the lady of the family who invited her, and the lady came out of the hall and met the lady she knew before. ”

Mrs. Xue has never liked to join in the fun, thinking that she would go over to greet someone she knew very well.

Ronghua let Jinxiu lead the way and brought a few mothers-in-law over, the bamboo forest is very well trimmed, there are several stone tablets lined up inside, all of them are the Buddha that leads people to goodness, there is a pavilion in between, it is not luxurious, it is all supported by wood, and it is not painted just with its true color, adding a lot of elegance and freshness, the pavilion is paved with futon, several ladies sit around, and the Taoist figure that Jinxiu said is not seen.

Jinxiu said in a low voice: "I was still there when I left just now, and I wasn't in the pavilion, but the bamboo forest happened to pass by, so I said a few words." ”

Rong Hua nodded, walked a few more steps, and was seen by the ladies in the pavilion, and Rong Hua was busy meeting people.

Mrs. Xue pulled Rong Hua to introduce to everyone, there was a familiar face that was Mrs. Changxinghou who had seen in the palace, and another Mrs. Xue said: "It's Mrs. Zhenweihou." ”

Rong Hua stepped forward and saluted lightly, and the two ladies returned the salute, "Mrs. Changxinghou swept away the nervous and embarrassed expression just now, and pulled the topic to Rong Hua with a smile, when I saw it for the first time, I also said which lady is so beautiful, and I only knew that it was Mrs. Wu Muhou when I asked," said and took Mrs. Xue's hand, "We should gather often." ”

Mrs. Xue smiled politely, "People have become lazy over the years, and they don't like to go out. ”

Mrs. Xue's smile was a little reluctant, and she couldn't bear to show any clues in her eyes.

Mrs. Zhenweihou only smiled on the side, and looked at Rong Hua sideways from time to time.

The three ladies talked for a while, and Mrs. Xue took her leave.

Mrs. Changxing Hou and Mrs. Zhenwei Hou followed and sent out of the pavilion.

After getting into the carriage, Rong Hua brought Rong Yun to Mrs. Xue to sit on, and Mrs. Xue said: "I used to sit with Mrs. Changxinghou, but I haven't seen him for a while, so I want to meet old friends." ”

Rong Hua lowered his head and smiled, "If my mother really wants to invite someone to come over for a gathering, I will help my mother organize the banquet." ”

Mrs. Xue nodded, "In a few days, the old lady will be better and the weather will be colder, but she should be ......" said and suddenly remembered something, frowning slightly.

Rong Hua took the opportunity to ask Mrs. Xue with a soft smile, "Mother, what's wrong?" ”

Mrs. Xue shook her head, "It's nothing, it's just that the Taoist priest is talking nonsense." ”

If you ask Mrs. Xue what the Taoist priest said, it will put pressure on Mrs. Xue, as if she is also very concerned, Rong Hua smiled slightly relieved, "Sure enough, if that's the case, my mother doesn't have to take it to heart." ”

Mrs. Xue listened to Rong Hua with confidence, but she was full of indifference, and looked sideways.

Mrs. Xue asked what she meant.

Rong Hua said with a smile: "Mother, think about it, if everything can be seen by these people at a glance, where can the major decisions of the imperial court still need to be widely accepted by the court officials, as long as you find these people to calculate, since these people are wandering in the market, they must not be able to get on the big stage, many good mothers will listen to it, and bad mothers should not hear it, don't be okay but be disturbed by these people's words." ”

Mrs. Xue was amused by Rong Hua's words, "I didn't expect you kid to be happy," she said after a pause, "The Taoist priest also said that it will rain in three days." ”

The capital has been dry for many days, and everyone rumors that the real dragon is not in the Forbidden City, and they all went to accompany the capital. The scorching heat in Beijing is unbearable, and many elderly people and children are sick, so there are more people who come to the temple to pray for blessings these days.

How dare this Taoist priest assert that there must be rain in three days?

Rong Hua kept talking with Mrs. Xue all the way, and when she arrived at the door of the mansion, Mrs. Xue's eyebrows were loosened.

Rong Hua sent Mrs. Xue back to the room, and then went back to the old lady, and then took Jinxiu back to his yard.

Chunyao had already prepared a chilled sour plum soup.

Rong Hua took a few sips to feel comfortable, and looked sideways at Jinxiu, "You should go and get it too." ”

Jinxiu smiled slightly, Mu Hibiscus had already prepared a bowl and handed it to Jinxiu.

Chunyao changed Rong Hua with an ice-fed handkerchief, "It has already made people boil the bath water." ”

Rong Hua pursed her lips and looked at Chunyao with a smile, but Chunyao still understood her thoughts. It's very uncomfortable to go out on a trip, and I always feel weird if I don't take a shower, which is a problem that has been raised early in the morning.

It's just that in the past, I used to use bath water frequently in Taofu to see people's faces, and sometimes it was inevitable to be said behind someone's back, but now it is the Xue family, and everyone below knows her habits and takes the initiative to cater to her.

Rong Hua came out of the shower, and Jinxiu also inquired about the matter, "That Taoist priest said that there will be a bloody disaster in the family in the near future. ”

Rong Hua was slightly stunned.

She misunderstood, and thought that those Taoist priests were talking about their heirs, but she didn't expect that one mouth would talk about the bloody disaster.

Rong Hua frowned, "That's all?" ”

Jinxiu said: "That's all. The Taoist priest didn't want to say more, so he hurried away. ”

Didn't ask for money to keep you safe.

No wonder Mrs. Xue was worried, and seemed to believe it a little.

Rong Hua hesitated for a moment and instructed Jinxiu, "I told those mothers-in-law that you are not allowed to say the words of that Taoist priest." But it's all nonsense, don't take it out to tell the truth. ”

Jinxiu nodded.

Rong Hua thought about it again and again, "Let's tell Gu's mother first, and listen to Gu's mother's meaning." "Mother Gu knows how to deal with such a thing, and besides, those mothers-in-law are following Mrs. Xue.

Jinxiu understood what Rong Hua meant, "Don't worry, young lady, slave maid understands." ”

In the evening, Xue Mingrui came back from the office, Rong Hua entered the suite and changed Xue Mingrui into her newly made royal blue silk shirt, with two dark intermittent flowers and plants on the hem, which looked like a simple texture from a distance, and the beauty of the branches and leaves could only be seen when you walked in.

Rong Hua smiled: "Anyway, it's a regular dress at home, if Master Hou doesn't like me, I'll change it to a simple style." ”

Men have always liked simplicity and don't like decoration, but there will always be one or two plain and elegant ones, but Xue Mingrui has none. Flowers are not necessarily delicate for women, and they are embroidered under the robe, just like an ink flower, which is not elegant. She didn't hope that Xue Mingrui could wear it, so she couldn't help but try embroidering.

The regular clothes are all the same like official robes, and it is not bad to be fresh once in a while.

"What's embroidered down there?"

"Flowers and plants."

His slender eyes flickered, "You can't see it if you don't look closely." ”

"yes."

Xue Mingrui had a smile on his face, "It's quite chic." ”

That is to say, accepted.

After dinner and returned to the house, Xue Mingrui sat in the house drinking tea and reading, Rong Hua was a little strange, "Master Hou doesn't go to the study to see the father?" ”

Xue Mingrui didn't look up and continued to flip through the book, "There is no public to read." ”

I'm busy on weekdays, so how can I suddenly be idle.

Rong Hua glanced down at Xue Mingrui, although he said that he had no official business, but in fact he was not as idle as he seemed to be, as if he was thinking about something.

Rong Hua was about to walk away quietly, and his wrist was tightened and he was pulled back.

Xue Mingrui's slender eyes were upturned, full of smiles, "Where are you going?" ”

Rong Hua's cheeks were slightly red, "The concubine is afraid of disturbing the Hou Ye reading." ”

"I'll take you out boating tomorrow." The clear voice was full of interest.

How could he think of going out to row, although Rong Hua wanted to go, he was still a little hesitant, "The old lady is still sick, and it is always not good to go out at this time." ”

"Grandmother's spirit has improved a lot in the past two days, but the weather is hot so it's not comfortable," Xue Mingrui's hand on Rong Hua's waist tightened, "I will make excuses to say, even if grandmother and mother know, it's nothing." ”

"It's been a few days of leisure, and I don't know what the situation is after a while, and I haven't taken you out to play."

Who said no, last time with Xue Mingrui recuperating from his injuries, they lived alone in that courtyard for two days. As soon as Rong Hua thought of this, his ears itched, and Xue Mingrui's smile slowly bloomed, "The last time I recuperated didn't count." ”

I knew what she was thinking. She tried to get out of his arms, but he held her tighter.

"Your second uncle is the state judge below."

Rong Hua nodded, "It's only been a short time since I took office." ”

Xue Mingrui said: "This kind of donated state sentence can be promoted to the magistrate after one year by the minister. After a pause, "Although Yinxian County in eastern Zhejiang is not rich, it is good to have a rhetorical promotion if you can experience it for a few years, you write to ask the second uncle if he is willing, and he will take office immediately after the father-in-law." ”

Although the second uncle Tao Zhengqian is timid, he is decent, if he is willing to endure this hardship, of course it is good. Rong Hua smiled, "It just so happened that I asked people to go to eastern Zhejiang to buy a piece of saline-alkali barren land. ”

Xue Mingrui was stunned, "What is it for?" ”

Rong Hua smiled: "Plant agricultural products." ”

Xue Mingrui thought of the trial planting under the imperial court, "One day I will come back from the government and go to Zhuangzi to help you take a look." ”

Rong Hua said: "How can Master Hou be so idle? ”

Xue Mingrui's eyes narrowed, "With Prince Zhuang and the scholars of the palace to handle government affairs, there are not many things in the yali." ”

Just because Xue Mingrui is not from Prince Zhuang's faction, Xue Mingrui was simply set aside? Another meaning is that Prince Zhuang is now in control of the government?

If this continues, Prince Zhuang will next take advantage of this opportunity to eradicate dissidents.

The situation is so tense, will the Taoist priest's words really come true?
