Chapter 37: Wrestling

"If my brother gets any interesting books, he will lend them to his sister?"

"What kind of books does my sister like to read?"

"I can learn more about the outside world."

Hua Chen nodded in agreement.

Hua Jin thought that if she knew what her brother had done and who she had met every day, she would be able to prevent it.

Thinking like this, her heart settled down a little.

If there are people in this world who want to create a danger, someone has to solve the crisis.

Even, to fight back.

…………

Hua Chen's days of continuing his studies.

Hua Jin began to read every day after breakfast, and after lunch, he and his sisters followed Du Niangzi to learn embroidery.

Every day after returning from school, Hua Chen would find an opportunity to talk to Hua Jin about the things in the academy and what he saw on the road.

One day they didn't have a chance to speak alone, so Hua Chen wrote a letter to Rou Xiang and asked Rou Xiang to send it to Hua Jin in the inner courtyard.

Hua Chen will also find some books with interesting essays and come back to Hua Jin to read.

Hua Jin also has a better understanding of the system and customs of this era.

She carefully screened it every day, and she didn't feel that there were any dangerous things and suspicious characters around her brother.

Time passed quietly, but the Zhang family was about to usher in a very important day.

The old marquis's three-year filial piety period has expired.

After three years, it means that the service is full, and you can change the service, that is, take off the filial piety clothes.

When the old marquis died, according to the ancestral system of the Zhang family, he made filial piety clothes with burlap and served Qi for a year.

A year later, although he had taken off his burlap filial piety clothes, the family and subordinates in the house were all dressed in plain clothes.

When the defense period expires, not only can you change clothes, but many things can be put on the agenda.

The three masters who are worried at home can be re-elected as officials.

The second and third young masters, who have been studying for several years, can participate in the imperial examination.

The third and fourth girls in the third room can hold a ceremony and set the marriage.

Even Hua Jin, a girl who is about to be twelve years old, can say kiss.

There's so much that could happen.

Hua Jin wanted to find out all the contexts and understand the situation at home, but he felt foggy.

After all, she has been here for too short a time, so she has to protect herself and her brother first.

…………

Early that morning, she went to her grandmother's room to say goodbye, and before she entered the house, she heard that Wang, who was now in charge of the family's feed, was discussing with Mrs. Tai about the memorial ceremony in half a moon.

Wang said: "Mother, do you say that it is better to do a Buddhist or Taoist ritual for your father?" The daughter-in-law is waiting for you to come to the idea. ”

Hua Jin frowned slightly, remembering a book that her brother had given her that she had just seen recently, talking about the development of Buddhism and Taoism in the Great Chu Kingdom.

In recent years, the development momentum of Taoism is gaining momentum, and some miscellaneous records also mention that there are Taoists who often come and go in the palace now.

"Now the noble family in Jingzhong, nine times out of ten, will be a Taoist dojo. But after all, we are not in Beijing now, and everything is at the behest of our mother. "The one who answered the phone was Zhang Yushan, the Marquis of Jingning, who he had never seen since Hua Jin was reborn into the Zhang family.

Hua Jin knew that his grandmother was more Buddhist, was Jing Ninghou asking for advice, or wrestling with Mrs. Tai?

Hua Jin seemed to feel the undercurrent surging in the house from outside the thick door curtain.

At this time, the injury had been healed, and the peach who was following him cleverly withdrew the hand that wanted to open the curtain.

It's not good for them to go in, it's not good to stand here and listen, and it's more like they have a ghost in their hearts when they turn around and go back.

Hua Jin had an idea and winked at Zhi Tao.

Zhi Tao understood and shouted, "Oops".

Hua Jin said sternly: "You girl, you said that you can come out to serve after your injury, how can you ...... It's like how harsh my master treats his subordinates. ”

"Five girls, it's the negligence of the slave."

Xichun in the house immediately opened the curtain and came out, and greeted with a smile: "It's the fifth girl who is here." ”

Hua Jin said to Zhi Tao again: "You just stand outside and wait, don't come in with me, you can save the rules." ”

Zhi Tao retreated, and Hua Jin naturally entered the house.

Sure enough, the awkward atmosphere in the house was also alleviated a lot.

Hua Jin smiled and stepped forward to greet Mrs. Tai, Marquis Jingning, and Mrs. Eldest Lady.

Yangping Hou Zhang Yushan's gaze swept over Hua Jin's face lightly, and there was a little surprise in his eyes, but it was quickly covered.

Hua Jin also secretly looked at this Jingning Marquis, and saw that he still had a bit of heroism between his eyebrows, but he lacked toughness. is already forty years old, and his face is still handsome. Although he has taken off his filial piety clothes, he still wears filial piety white shoes.

Mrs. Tai continued the topic just now, "Although we are not in Beijing, you are about to leave the office, and your return to Beijing is just around the corner, so it is better to do Taoist rituals." ”

Mrs. Tai, is this giving in?

Hua Jin couldn't help but look at Mrs. Tai in surprise, seeing that she was still smiling kindly, and there was no trace of emotion in her eyes.

The Wang family, who got the order, also immediately smiled, and said to Mrs. Tai: "Since my mother has something to say, my daughter-in-law will go and prepare, and I will definitely do my father's memorial ceremony in a beautiful manner." ”

Mrs. Tai only nodded and said, "Everything just follow the ancestral system." ”

Follow the ancestral system?

Hua Jin was stunned when he saw Wang, and even Jingning Hou Zhang Yushan's face froze.

Hua Jin then thought that the ancestors of the Zhang family have always believed in Buddhism, whether it is a prayer dojo for the living or a dojo for the dead, all of them are Buddhist dojos.

She knew that Mrs. Tai had never been such a weak and easy to bully.

Wang looked at Mrs. Tai, and then at Jingninghou, and said in embarrassment: "Mother, daughter-in-law will definitely handle it well." ”

"Hmm. You all step down, I have a terrible headache recently, let Hang's mother help me press it. Mrs. Tai said.

Marquis Jingning and the eldest lady politely cared for a few more words, and then withdrew.

As soon as he left the Chaohui Courtyard, the Wang family saw that there was no one around, so he asked the Marquis of Jingning: "Master Hou, what do you say this dojo ......?"

Jing Ninghou glanced at the Wang family, and his tone was full of impatience: "Do you want me to be an unscrupulous descendant who destroys the ancestral system?" ”

After speaking, he brushed his sleeves and walked straight towards the outer courtyard.

Wang blushed with anger, but there was nowhere to attack.

Of course, Hua Jin would not know about the conversation between Jingning Hou and the eldest lady at this time.

However, she could guess after a little thought that this memorial would definitely be a Buddhist dojo.

It is a good name to be close to the royal family, but it is a bad name to go against the ancestral system.

Although the Marquis of Jingning has now inherited the title, there is a marquis who has not yet come out, and the good name can be desired, but the notoriety is difficult to get rid of.

Hua Jin left Mrs. Tai's Chaohui Courtyard and continued to go back to Honghun Courtyard to see the precious books that her brother had collected for her.

The next day, Hua Jin went to Zhaohui Courtyard to ask for peace, and when he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he saw three monks walking out of it......
