Chapter 169 Look at each other
The next day, the autumn is high and cool, cloudless, that is, the sun is particularly strong, if this season is in the north has been cool for a good autumn, but in Lingnan, you can hardly feel half a point of coolness.
For the sons of the Yuan family, it is not much different from summer.
But I think the weather should be cooler when I enter the mountains.
According to Yuan Rongcheng's original intention, he wanted to ride a horse with his entourage, but because the second child of the Yuan family dragged his feet, he could only travel by carriage instead.
"Second brother, are you having breakfast?"
The carriage drove on the bluestone street in the early morning, and they got up in the morning because the second child of the Yuan family was delayed for a lot of time, and they had no time to have breakfast at the post house.
On the way out of the city, I had to ask the servant to buy some ready-made ones at the breakfast shop on the street.
The second child of the Yuan family lay on the couch and turned over, "Don't eat!" β
Yuan Rongcheng stared at his back and shook his head, no wonder his father always said that the second child was a dragger, and it was true.
The little servant knelt in front of the dwarf and waited for Yuan Rongcheng to finish breakfast, cleaned up the table, looked outside, and found that he had already left the city gate, so he said: "I don't know if I can meet the ladies of the palace on the way this morning." β
Yuan Rongcheng took a sip of tea and raised his eyes to look at the green mountains outside the city, not to mention that it was really possible to meet him.
After all, everyone lives in the city, and going to Hualin Temple is also a road, if everyone goes out at a similar time, there is a great chance of encountering.
King Qian's Mansion.
Xia Jing got up early and went for a jog in the garden for a few laps.
Come back and wash up and let the maid dress up for her, although it is not her who looks at her, but as the ancestor of the palace, accompany the ladies to Hualin Temple to incense, always have to make up.
"Don't apply too much makeup, choose a light color for your clothes, today's protagonist is Zhu'er, not me!" Xia Jing saw Bai Mei take a brightly colored dress from the wardrobe, so she hurriedly stopped her.
Bai Mei regretfully put the bright color dress back into the closet, since she came to Lingnan, these gorgeous color princesses have not had a chance to wear them.
As soon as Xia Jing was ready, there was a maid at the door to report, and the other ladies in the house were already waiting for her at the second gate.
She was already ready on her side, and when she saw that nothing else was missing, she went out with the maids.
At the second gate, the ladies were resting in the pavilion, and when they saw Xia Jing coming, they walked out of the pavilion to greet Xia Jing.
"I've seen the mother!"
"I've seen my grandmother!"
"I've seen the old ancestor!"
As soon as she appeared, she was called by three titles, and it was her great-grandchildren who called her ancestors.
"It's all free of courtesy, while the sun is not too strong in the early morning, let's get in the car and set off."
Xia Jing saw that the ladies were dressed properly, and after saying this, she stepped into her double-headed carriage first.
Those who have the opportunity to go out with them today, except for the head lady in a few rooms, the rest are the juniors in the family.
Seriously, this is the first time that Xia Jing has led the ladies of the house out.
When Xia Jing's carriage convoy arrived at the city gate, it merged with the carriage of the Xia family's daughters into a team and continued to go out of the city to Hualin Temple.
Hualin Temple is about an hour's distance from Fucheng, and under the escort of the guards, it is already the end of the hour when you arrive at Hualin Temple.
"Little aunt!"
As soon as Xia Jing got out of the carriage, she heard a crisp children's voice.
Immediately, a cute little girl ran in front of her, raised her head, a little face that looked like Xia Jing, and shouted again with a smile on her face: "Little aunt! β
"Yo, our flowers are so anxious to see their aunt, they all ran over the adults first." Xia Jing showed a surprised expression, reached out and pinched her little cheeks full of collagen.
"Auntie, grandma and mother-in-law, they are behind, they will come over soon." The little girl explained seriously.
Xia Jing looked up at the ladies of the Xia family who were coming here, nodded to them, and took Xia Hua's hand and walked to the temple.
The ladies of the most powerful government in Lingnan came to make incense, and the irrelevant people in the temple had long been emptied.
The monk led them to the various halls to offer incense, and then led them to the guest rooms in the backyard to rest.
It was not the first time that the Xia family had come to the temple to offer incense, but it was the first time that they had received such a high courtesy.
Xia's mother Chen looked at this scene, and couldn't stop sighing in her heart, when her daughter married King Qian, outsiders were envious, but she couldn't help worrying in her heart, afraid that her daughter would be bullied in the palace.
Now seeing Xia Jing's sad face, she is hugging her when she goes out, and she thinks that she was right to marry when she decided to marry high.
When you arrive at the guest room, everyone has the opportunity to sit down and rest, although the temperature on the mountain is cooler than that under the mountain, but the difference will not be very big, after worshipping a few halls, everyone is also sweating a lot.
When everyone had rested enough, Xia Jing asked the guards to escort a few little girls to walk around the temple.
As Li Yuzhu's mother-in-law, the second lady Wen is the most concerned about her life's events.
"Mother, why don't I go out for a walk with Zhu'er?"
Xia Jing put down the teacup and shook her head: "The chick will fly into the blue sky after all, can you still protect her for a lifetime in the future?" Young people want to get to know each other, so you let them get to know each other on their own. β
"But. . . The daughter-in-law is not at ease. "Sitting here and waiting is the most painful thing for Wen.
A little fidgeting.
Xia Jing is the opposite of her, she is very relieved of Li Yuzhu, knowing that she is a good girl who knows etiquette and proportion.
"Don't worry, Zhu'er is a girl who knows how to measure."
The Xia family knew that this time it was an excuse to come out and enter the incense, and its purpose was to look at the girl for the sake of each other.
Chen glanced at the juniors of the Xia family, plus the three-year-old great-granddaughter and the thirteen-year-old granddaughter, there were only three girls in the juniors.
Except for the granddaughter, who can look at each other for the past two years, the others are still young.
If according to the current development of the palace, these little girls in their own family should not worry about getting married.
A pavilion on the hill behind the temple.
The second child of the Yuan family retracted his gaze, turned back to Yuan Rongcheng and said: "The ladies of the palace have arrived, I see that there are only two slightly older girls, and the others are all hairy girls who are as big as Douding, how old is your fiancΓ©e this year?" β
"I heard that it's just past the cardamom years."
The female dependents of the palace entered the temple, the goal was too obvious, and the princess's double-headed carriage was not owned by anyone in Lingnan, which was a symbol of power.
They sat in the pavilion halfway up the mountain, and they could see at a glance that the female dependents under the mountain were the female dependents of the palace.
It can be seen from the hair accessories that there are only two female dependents who are a little taller, and their faces are not clear, but from the perspective of their posture, they should look good.
The second child of the Yuan family sighed softly when he heard it, "In the past, others have always said that my old cow always likes to gnaw tender grass, no matter how much I gnaw tender grass, your sister-in-law is also the same year as me." And you're really nibbling on the grass! β
Yuan Rongcheng listened to his rude words, and his face was full of black lines: "Second brother, please keep doing it?" β
The second child of the Yuan family yawned and wiped the corners of his eyes, "Okay, for you, I am willing to accompany you to get up early, for you, I am more willing to work hard to play a humble son, and I will not lose the reputation of the Yuan family!" β
"You can rest assured that you hold me, and my eyelids will jump if you let me go!" Yuan Rongcheng didn't know whether it was right or wrong to let the second brother follow.
When the second child of the Yuan family heard this unkind remark, the corners of his mouth twitched, "Am I so unreliable in your eyes?" β
Yuan Rongcheng nodded without hesitation.
The second child of the Yuan family shook off his hair and said with a smile: "Actually, I'm serious and scared people to death, do you want me to show you if I'm serious?" β
Yuan Rongcheng rubbed his forehead and stood up, "Let's go, the ladies of the palace have finished worshipping the Buddha statues in each hall, let's go and see them." β
The second child of the Yuan family sat up straight and asked in surprise, "Didn't you say that you came to see each other?" Since seeing each other is a chance encounter with a girl, do you need to meet the elders so formally? β
In this life, for the second child of the Yuan family, the last thing he wants to see is the elders.
But anyone with a higher rank than him, he is unwilling to get along with them, and he resists from the heart, which may be related to being beaten since childhood.
Yuan Rongcheng used to think that the second brother was unreliable, but now he has a deep understanding that it is really unreliable.
Knowing that there are elders in the temple, if he doesn't go to see him, he is rude, and as a member of the Yuan family, he doesn't want people to think that he is less educated.
Yuan Rongcheng stared at him for a moment, "Brother, are you really ignorant of etiquette?" β
The second child of the Yuan family was stared at and his scalp was numb, and it didn't take long for him to be defeated.
He raised his hand and said, "Okay, second brother will follow you to meet the elders, especially the princess of the palace." β
Yuan Rongcheng glanced at him with satisfaction, and then turned around and took the lead out of the pavilion.
Seeing this, the second child of the Yuan family chased after him, and gossiped: "I heard that the princess of the Qian Palace, can come back to life, and she can still crawl out of the coffin after everyone is funeral, and when you meet you, you must remember to take care of me!" β
Yuan Rongcheng ignored such a noisy man, but his steps quickened.
"Princess, the son of the Yuan family outside the door asks to see you."
"The son of the Yuan family?!"
All the ladies in the side hall of the guest room were shocked.
"Why is he here?"
"Shouldn't he be walking around the temple and having a chance encounter with Zhu'er at this time?"
Xia Jing glanced at the second lady Wen, who had the biggest reaction, and motioned for the maid to invite the son of the Yuan family in.
The eldest lady coughed lightly and chuckled: "It seems that the son of the Yuan family is also a good boy who knows how to be polite, but I don't know if the two of them can see each other." β
The second lady had anticipation in her eyes, and she kept staring at the door from the maid's exit.
Yuan Rongcheng led his brother into the threshold, just staring at the second lady Wen, his footsteps paused slightly, and his expression did not change.
Everyone looked at him and the second child of the Yuan family without a trace, guessing in their hearts which of the two was the future uncle of the palace.
Yuan Rongcheng and the second child of the Yuan family walked up to Xia Jing with a smile on their faces, and hugged their fists to salute: "The younger generation Rongcheng (Rongye), I have seen the princess." β
"You may be seated." Xia Jing raised her finger and pointed to the chair next to her, "I really didn't expect Yuan Gongzi to come to visit today, I didn't prepare enough, and the hospitality was not good, I hope the two sons will forgive me." β
"The princess is polite." Yuan Rongcheng's smile remained unchanged, "Today, my second brother and I came to Hualin Temple to relax, I didn't expect to be lucky to meet the princess, it is really a blessing for three lives." β
"Haha." Xia Jing listened to his words and was overjoyed, "You kid has a very sweet mouth, and you can make me happy the most." β
"My father knew that the prince and the princess had come to Lingnan, so he always wanted to find an opportunity to meet the two, but he was too busy with political affairs and was not available."
"Well, government affairs and people's livelihood are the most important, and your father is a good official who is diligent and loves the people." Xia Jing has never met Yuan Rujiang, so she doesn't know what kind of person he is.
But God has been friends for a long time.
The first time the two sides met, since they could greet each other for so long, Xia Jing admired herself.
But it can be seen from the conversation that Yuan Rongcheng has a clear eye, and he is not annoying when he comes into contact.
Although the other person's eyes are not as upright as Yuan Rongcheng, at least he can listen to others quietly, and he does not show an impatient look, which shows that he can endure his temperament.
It can be said that Xia Jing's first impression of the two is not bad.
The sun outside was rising higher and higher, Xia Jing didn't stay with them more, "The weather outside is just right, you young people take a look around, the scenery of Hualin Temple is not bad." β
Yuan Rongcheng stood up, "The kid has this intention, then don't bother, the kid says goodbye!" β
The second child of the Yuan family stood up, arched his hand to everyone in the hall, and walked out calmly behind Yuan Rongcheng.
After the two left, the second lady Wen couldn't wait to ask, "Mother, what do you think of this kid?" β
Xia Jing gave a very pertinent evaluation, "The etiquette is perfect, and I can't find any fault." β
Leaving the guest room and turning to an unobtrusive corner, the second child of the Yuan family found a stone bench and sat down.
He thumped his feet and complained, "Brother, I didn't expect this princess to be so strong, and I was almost weak at first.
But when you actually talk to her, you feel quite approachable, as if it is different from the legend. β
"Spread falsehoods, and you believe in the legends!" Yuan Rongcheng was in a good mood, "Let's go, go see Miss Li." β
With the sound of cicadas, several little girls were tired of walking, and the maid in the back hurriedly cleaned up a nearby gazebo.
Li Yuzhu sat in the pavilion, watching and listening to all directions, and after walking in the temple for so long, she didn't meet the legendary man, and she couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
She didn't know if it was a good thing or what it meant?
Anyway, I'm in a bad mood, and I'm feeling irritable.
"Excuse me, girl, the sun is strong outside, can we rest on the other side of the gazebo for a while?"
It's a very clichΓ© way of greeting, but Yuan Rongcheng thinks it's useful.
After sitting down and chatting about something, the two sides slowly became familiar with each other.
Li Yuzhu saw that the other party was personable, thinking that it was the son of the Yuan family, so he smiled and nodded.
Her eyes swept over Yuan Rongcheng and the second child of the Yuan family, I don't know who is the protagonist of the two?
The brothers of the Yuan family naturally noticed her gaze, and the second child of the Yuan family faced the little girl's gaze, threw his head to the side without any scruples, and ignored her!
This person is certainly not the object of contemplation!
Thinking like this, Li Yuzhu found that the other son smiled at her.
With such different reactions from the two, Li Yuzhu probably guessed who Yuan Rongcheng was and who was her future marriage partner.
Yuan Rongcheng and the second child of the Yuan family sat down on the other side of the pavilion, and the little maid immediately put the snacks and pastries prepared earlier on the stone table.
And invited a few little girls to taste: "This is the snack I prepared, it tastes super delicious, if you don't dislike it, you can taste it together." β
knows how to take care of girls very well, and is very patient with children and girls, Li Yuzhu has a very good impression of Yuan Rongcheng at this time.
