Chapter 42: A Serendipitous Encounter

Puhua Temple is the largest temple from the capital, the incense is vigorous, and the front hall is crowded at noon one day.

The three of them, wearing veils, looked at the crowd in front of the main hall from the corner, and they were also extremely excited.

"Cousin, what big things do you have to do today, otherwise why are there so many people?" Zhuo Xiyu also rarely showed the posture of a little daughter.

Zhuo Wenjun shook his head, "I haven't heard of it" Then her eyes lit up, and she pointed out the outside of the crowd, "Look at those courtyards that look like the Hou Mansion, isn't it that the wife of the Hou Mansion has also come to offer incense?" If that's the case, it can be explained, otherwise why is it so lively. ”

Seeing that neither of them understood, she explained, "The prince of the Hou Mansion is not in good health, and he takes medicine all the year round, so Mrs. Tai believes in Buddhism, and every time she comes to the temple, she will let her give some silver to everyone, so that every time Mrs. Tai comes, her popularity will increase." ”

It turned out that they came to get silver, and Yuan Niang was even more surprised that this Hou Mansion was too rich, and everyone gave away some clothes and food.

Zhuo Xiyu didn't care about these, "Is the prince of the Hou Mansion very old?" ”

Seeing Zhuo Wenjun's confused eyes, he said again, "Otherwise, how can you be sick all the time?" ”

But the man smiled and pursed his lips to take over, "The eldest cousin girl misunderstood, the current son is the son left by the former prince, and he is the same age as our eldest son, and he will be able to take the throne in just a few years." ”

Yuan Niang also nodded slightly, no wonder it sounded weird.

Zhuo Xiyu's eyes flashed, "The same age as the eldest cousin?" That's a shame. ”

After all, this is a matter of the Hou Mansion, and it is not good to talk about it more, so Zhuo Wenjun changed the topic, "There is a bamboo garden here, let's go over and have a look." ”

When they got there, a group of people had already arrived there, and among the flowers, they saw a thin white shadow with their backs to everyone looking at the bamboo.

Seeing someone, Zhuo Xiyu was a little disappointed, so that she was so cute that she said secretly, "Girl, isn't that the second lady of the Hou Mansion?" ”

Zhuo Wenjun originally wanted to leave, but when he heard it, he stopped walking, which also attracted those mothers-in-law to look over, among them recognized Zhuo Wenjun, walked to the white-clothed lady and whispered a few words, in the curious look of Yuan Niang and Zhuo Xiyu, the second lady of the Hou Mansion turned around.

After seeing her appearance, Yuan Niang was slightly shocked, isn't this the one she met at the inn? It turned out to be her, seeing Yuan Niang, Sima Ruyan was also slightly stunned, and then turned her face slightly sideways, and explained a few words in her mother-in-law's ear.

The woman strode over here, and after the blessing, "It turned out to be a girl from Zhuofu, and our second lady said that if she came to enjoy the bamboo, she would join her, but she was not good at words, so she would entertain you." ”

Zhuo Wenjun returned the salute, "Then I'm sorry, I don't know if the eldest lady is here?" ”

On weekdays, Zhuo Wenjun is good friends with Sima Ruqing, the eldest girl in the Hou Mansion, and has only had a few contacts with Sima Ruyan, but she is naturally timid and cowardly, so much so that people have never cared too much.

The mother-in-law said respectfully, her attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, "The eldest girl and Mrs. Tai are listening to Zen at the Zen master." ”

Zhuo Wenjun was really a little happier again.

Since there was the second girl of the Hou Mansion's answer, everyone stopped in the bamboo garden, and far away, Yuan Niang was relieved to see that the second lady of the Hou Mansion did not ask about the inn.

I don't know why, she always doesn't want to have anything to do with the Hou Mansion.
