For two days in a row, Chen Lan went to the Water Mirror Hall in the morning to take care of the housework with Sister Chen Yun and Chen Xi, went back to the room at noon for lunch, and then went to the Tatexiang Courtyard after the Zhu family woke up after the afternoon break. Although it is nominally gossip, she will always explain everything in the morning, some of the Zhu family have just heard it, and some of them will ask a few questions.

This day is the twelfth day of the first month, which is the day of the sacrifice of her deceased mother that she and Zhu said well, early in the morning, she took people to meet Chen Yan together, got into the car in front of the second gate, and went all the way to Huguo Temple.

Sitting in the car, the street noise came in through the curtain and the carriage, which made Chen Lan, who had never been out of the house since this era, quite an indescribable novelty. However, Hugh said that there were three girls in the spacious carriage, Chen Yan and Qin Fanghong Luoyun'er, and there was a small car with Su Mu Pepper and two accompanying mothers in the back.

The Chen family of Yangning Hou is one of the old families in the capital that has been inherited for more than 100 years, and they are all particular about clothing, food, housing and transportation. On this trip, Zhu gave Chen Lan the car he usually used.

It is said to be a sedan, but in fact, because the carriage resembles a sedan chair. The carport is made of carefully carved nan wood, and the wooden shelves are wrapped in a thick layer of felt, and the felt is covered with a layer of cotton cloth and large red felt coated with tung oil, so it is extremely warm. The curtain is a thick and compact wool carpet, and the carriage is covered with dark Jiangnan carpets.

There are three seats with a black bearskin mattress in the center and a white rabbit skin mattress next to it. Not to mention the furnishings in the carriage for the time being, even the curtain hooks, hidden nails, and wheels of the car enclosure are all made of gold and silver wire, and this car alone is difficult to buy. And the two royal drivers are not sitting across the wheel, but walking on both sides of the mule cart, which also has a resounding name in the folk, called Shuangfeiyan, which refers to the natural walking with the car as Feiyan.

Through that little gap, you can just see the two royal ones who are walking like flying and shouting, and you can even see the trace of mist that is steaming from their heads because they are walking too fast. At this moment, even though Chen Lan, who was accustomed to being humble in these years, couldn't help but smack his tongue.

It is about the first month of the year, there are a lot of pedestrians on the road, there are stalls and hawkers everywhere, and the clothes of the pedestrians are also passable, and it can be seen that the feet of this day are still extremely rich and prosperous.

Yun'er was forced to squeeze here to share the car, she originally loved to talk, and at this time, she was even more around Chen Lan and chattered non-stop. After all, she is a girl, and there are always a few days off to go out to see her family all year round, and occasionally she goes to the street to buy things, so she is not talking about which family's fat powder is famous, or which family's silk is bright, but in the end, Chen Yan was annoyed, and said angrily: "These are just common things in the market, and it is good to have those things that are used in our family?" ”

Yun'er was dumb suddenly, Chen Lan rarely saw her deflated, and couldn't help but smile, and then looked at Chen Yan with a straight face: "Don't keep saying anything about the market, those objects are given to the old lady by the princess of Jin, and the old lady gave them to us, with the identity of our family, if it weren't for the princess of Jin, we might not be able to use the things we use, what is worth taking out and saying?" ”

Chen Yan was just born in a wealthy family, so he naturally developed a temper that was above the top, and when Chen Lan said this, he couldn't help but blush, and he couldn't even find a way to refute a few words, so he could only lower his head sullenly, thinking that although his sister used to teach herself a lesson, but where is it like now, he can choke on words in three or two sentences. Just as he was so awkward that he didn't know what to say, he felt someone gently pat his hand.

"But I'll remind you of this, and I'll put on this frustrated look. It's all dead things, and when you have the ability in the future and use your name to get those good things, that's the real eyebrows. What others belong to others, and it is a gift of grace to give us; Yours really deserve it, you know? ”

Seeing that Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, then nodded again and again with a smile, Chen Lan smiled as well, and then took the opportunity to tidy up Chen Yan's hair that was blown by the wind when he just got in the car, and re-tied the jade pendant corner of the pressed hair. Chen Yan sat there motionless, and said flatteringly the words of the gentlemen in the school who praised him, Chen Lan listened carefully, and occasionally praised a sentence or two, this short way, the carriage was filled with a warm atmosphere, and even Yun'er, who loved to talk the most, stopped unconsciously speaking.

The capital of Great Chu is the capital of the Yuan Dynasty in the past, but it has not experienced the toss of the Ming Dynasty to set the capital of Nanjing and then move the capital to Beijing, so the emperors of the past dynasties expanded several times during their reigns, and built this former northern fortified city to be more majestic and magnificent, and now it is divided into the inner city and the outer city. The name of the nine gates of the inner city is said to be the Taizu Imperial Determination, which is no different from the familiar one of Chen Lan in later generations.

Because the Tonghui River in front of Chongwen Gate was vigorously dredged in the inner city, and a tax customs was set up here, the big merchants lived in the east city, and most of the powerful officials lived in the west city. So, the Buddhist temple Taoist temple that came into being is naturally divided into three, six, nine and so on, Xicheng Huguo Temple is a big temple built by the edict, although there are many good men and women on weekdays, but the most important big incense master comes, often is closed doors.

The same is true on this day, although when Zheng's mother came that day, there had been no change in the Yangning Hou Mansion, but now three days have passed, and the host Zhiyong, who has dealings with various wealthy families, knows that after Yangning Hou Chen Jiu was imprisoned, although Jinyiwei went to the Chen family to copy and inspect, but there was no big news after that.

On the contrary, he faintly heard another rumor, so he even planned to greet him personally. However, early in the morning, there was another group of distinguished guests in the temple, and he couldn't move away for a while, so he could only repeatedly instruct the monks who knew the guests.

When the car of the Yangning Hou Mansion stopped in front of the temple, Chen Lan in the car found that there was an argument on the side of the mountain gate. Chen Yan was in a hurry, so he directly lifted the curtain and jumped down, Chen Lan couldn't stop it, so he had to hurry up and let the little guy behind him hurry up. After a few moments, she heard the sound of the quarrel suddenly grow louder.

"It is said that the pure place of Buddhism is full of copper smell. I want to ask you, the Buddha said that all living beings are equal, why did you close the temple and not let us in, could it be that this Huguo Temple is also a vulgar place to wait for the incense money to release people? ”

"Big brother, don't say it, someone is coming!"

"What's wrong with someone coming? The world is big, and the truth is the greatest! I don't believe that in this world, even Buddhist temples and Taoist temples also look at family wealth and wealth, and they have been born into a place of worship of gold. I'm not an ordinary person, and I still have a reputation for myself! ”

"Big brother, you don't have to say a word...... If this is a big fuss, it will not only lose our face, but also the Yangning Hou Mansion......"

"Well, what do you do! It's not that my grandmother won't let go, do you think I'm willing to marry the arrogant daughter of a wealthy family? ”

The words behind him seemed to be stopped, and the man didn't say anything after all, but even if it was just this, Chen Lan was still taken aback. After a moment's thought, she gently lifted the thick curtain of the window again and looked over the mountain gate.

I saw that there were four people over there, and the one in front seemed to be two brothers and sisters when they heard the title just now, and a man and a woman in the back should be a girl, who was desperately trying to persuade each other. The man who spoke had just been persuaded by someone, but at this time, it was about Chen Yan who happened to go up, and when the monk said a few words, he actually stretched out his arm and stopped Chen Yan.

Chen Yan doesn't go out much on weekdays, because his parents are not there, he comes to Huguo Temple once a year except for the school, and he doesn't even go out to visit relatives. He didn't pay attention to what the young man was shouting, and directly drove the little maid to drive them away, stepped forward to report his name to the monk who knew the guest, and was about to go back to let Chen Lan and the others get out of the car, when someone suddenly stopped him.

Although he was young, his temper was not small, and at this time, he was about to come up with annoyance, and immediately shouted angrily: "Break the poverty and sour, what are you doing in my way!" ”

The young man was wearing a royal blue jacket, which was the favorite of the scribes and Confucian scholars, and the pulp was clean, but it was a little faded, and he looked naturally from a poor family. However, these three words seemed to ignite his anger, he immediately changed his face, glared at Chen Yan and said angrily: "Okay, so magnificent, no wonder other nobles are all law-abiding, and the Marquis of Yang Ning was imprisoned for greed for ink, and even a child actually spoke ill of him!" Little sister, let's go, and after we go back, we will go to the Hou Mansion, I want to ask, this Hou Mansion teaches the younger generations like this? ”

It's okay not to say this, but as soon as he said it, Chen Yan was even more annoyed, and immediately sneered: "There are many people who are climbing relatives in this world, and the gate of the Hou Mansion is also what you want to enter?" ”

At this moment, the girl behind the young man finally caught up and stopped the man deadly, and then turned around and apologized: "Chen Gongzi forgives his sins, my brother is this kind of character, please bear with me." Brother Su Yi, little daughter Su Wan'er, my grandmother recognized the clan with the old marquis, and they are really relatives. It's just that the weather is cold for several days, and my grandmother feels the wind cold, and I heard that the incense of Huguo Temple is extremely effective, so I came to pray for my grandmother. Please also ask Master Chen Gongzi to have a large number of them to make it convenient for us. ”

There is a way to reach out and not hit the smiling person, that Su Wan'er is wearing a half-old honey-colored jacket, lilac-colored armor, and the hands on her head are not as tinkling as the precious daughter, and the freshness and grace of the small jasper came to her face, which naturally made Chen Yan feel a little embarrassed. Glancing at the carriage over there, he said, "I don't know if my relatives are relatives or not, but for the sake of Miss Su's filial piety, there is nothing impractical about this convenience, so please go in." ”

Seeing that Chen Yan dropped this sentence, Su Yi hurriedly went to the carriage with a few entourages, and couldn't help but snort softly, and then under Su Wan'er's persuasion, she reluctantly entered the Huguo Temple, and the little girls and girls behind were also busy following. The monk naturally didn't bother to pay attention to such a small family, and hurriedly went to the carriage with two little novices to greet him, but he was not so attentive and thoughtful, how could he have a solemn face when he stopped people from entering the temple before.
