December 12th is the day when Nangong Yu and Madam Chow made an appointment to pray to heaven.
In the morning, the gentle sunshine of the winter sun faintly dipped in the warmth of the body.
Early in the morning, in front of the Heavenly Palace, the largest Mazu temple in Luo Yue City, as usual, the incense was full, and the believers came religiously.
Nangong Yu didn't want to motivate the public, so she and Xiao Ye and Xiao Ni traveled together in an ordinary green wagon. Xiao Luan rode on a tall white horse to the side. Today Xiao Luan is wearing a purple The flowing cloud bat-patterned gold robe, a black hair tied high with a silver crown, and the horseshoe flying, it seems quite a bit cool.
Coupled with the accompanying guards, all of them were tall and mighty. A line of cars and horses came along, attracting a lot of curious eyes. Those believers and common people secretly speculated that they did not know which of the big family's parents and children came to the incense. .
The descendants of the Wangfu palace had already greeted the Heavenly Palace three days in advance, so the temple wished Aunt Cheng to be there early, and when she saw the carriage came, she hurried to meet her.
The carriage stopped in front of the gate, and the girl carefully lifted Nangongyu, Xiao Yan, and Xiao Ni in order.
"Mrs. Xiao, Xiao Er, Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao, please." Aunt Cheng greeted him respectfully, because she hadn't dared to break the identity of Nangong's party because she had been told in advance.
Guided by Miao Zhu, the group went to the west side.
Auntie Cheng walked ahead, her heartbeat was still banging.
I heard that the second son of Wangfu and the eldest daughter Zhou just came here to pray for blessings. Aunt Cheng is very proud. If it wasn't for the people in the Wangfu, she told her that she did n’t want to disturb the people. Person accidentally disturbed the noble.
After much thought, Auntie Cheng specifically sealed the West Side Hall and the West Chamber, and irrelevant people were not allowed to come in and out at random. I just hope that today ’s prayers will be smooth and smooth.
Later, the Zhennan Royal Mansion came here to pray for blessings, presumably the incense of the Heavenly Palace will be even more prosperous!
Thinking, Aunt Cheng narrowed her eyes with a smile, and enthusiastically led Nangong Yu and others into the gate of Xixiang, saying, "Mrs. Xiao, Madam Zhou, they are inside ..."
As soon as you enter the courtyard, you can see a small bamboo forest on the right side, outside the bamboo forest is an octagonal pavilion. At this moment, several female relatives of Zhoufu are waiting in the pavilion.
Although the agreed time was old time, everyone in Zhoufu would dare to wait for Shi Zifei and Xiao Ergong for a long time. They had already arrived half an hour in advance.
According to the rules of Nanjiang, on the day of blessing, the female relatives of both sides will be present. The second house of the Zhennan Palace is widowhood and the third house has no maid. Therefore, Nangongyu brought only Xiao Yan and Xiao Ni. As for Zhoufu, in addition to Zhou Roujia's mother and daughter, Mrs. Lu's wife also brought her two daughters on Tuesday. When they heard the movement outside the hospital, all five of Zhoufu stood up and met the Octagon Pavilion.
Zhou Rouhui, who followed him, looked at Xiao Luan incredulously, and her nails were almost in her palm. She stared directly at Xiao Luan, heard Xiao Luan's incompetence, heard Xiao Luan's idleness, and heard Xiao Luan's **** for beauty ... I never expected him to be so handsome, and the second son of Wangfu ... Why is Zhou Roujia having such good luck!
For a moment, Zhou Rouhui's original hesitation disappeared, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and then his eyes followed him casually.
"I've seen my mother-in-law." Xiao Luan gave a generous salute to the Wang family, and it looked like a human being.
"No courtesy and no courtesy." Mrs. Zhou, the wife of Chow, hurriedly, showing a hint of cramp in her words.
This is the first time she has seen Xiao Luan. Although she has heard a little about Xiao Luan from her daughter's mouth, she still feels uneasy in her heart. She is afraid that this son Xiao Er, who had been petting in the house, would marry this door. There were opinions about the marriage. Until now, when I saw Xiao Luan's calm expression, my heart was secretly relieved.
As long as the second son of Xiao Er has no objection to the marriage, what is feared is that he was unwilling at first, but gradually became disgusting ...
Thinking of his suffering in Zhoufu for so many years, a bitterness appeared in Wang's heart, and he said to himself, as long as his daughter is doing well. It's okay that Xiao Er is unreliable. As long as the daughter is facing the world concubine, and she will have a half child in the future, no one else can pass her in this life! ...... But it's just a pet, how can it be found in the palace?
Thinking of it, Wang's heart was relieved a lot, and he made a few words with Xiao Luanhan.
Everyone has seen courtesy one by one. No matter what everyone thinks, everyone's performance is elegant and decent at this moment.
Nangong Yan looked at the hour and said, "Joshi is coming, second brother, Chow, you should pray."
Xiao Luan glanced at Zhou Roujia and gave a quick response, Zhou Roujia bowed and blessed her, and her fair cheeks were stained with crimson.
The group went under the guidance of Aunt Cheng and went to the West Side Hall. From a distance, they saw the four large fans of the side hall. The hall was filled with a statue of a mazu, one person tall. The kind smile makes people calm and peaceful.
Nangong Yu, Wang Shi and others stopped outside the hall and watched Xiao Luan and Zhou Roujia walking towards the hall side by side. They were probably a little nervous and their backs were slightly stiff.
Zhou Roujia was really nervous, she just felt her heart pounding, but when she crossed the threshold with her skirt on, she heard Xiao Luan's voice suddenly: "The flower cake you made is delicious."
The steps under her feet stopped for a moment, and she turned to look at Xiao Luan subconsciously.
He was looking at her, and their eyes met in the air for a moment.
Smelling the incense in the temple, Zhou Roujia calmed down and smiled, "You make up like Xiaohui."
Xiao Luan's eyes brightened, and she smugly said, "I think so." He knew she must have vision.
As they said, they stepped into the side hall, stopped in front of the futon, and then knelt down together, silently praying with their hands together.
I hope they will grow old in the future!
I hope they have more children in the future!
I hope they are safe and smooth in the future!
...
After kneeling in front of the Mazu statue, they walked out of the side hall again.
At this moment, the previous tense has faded, as if the two people suddenly had a common secret just now, with a common tacit understanding, the atmosphere between the two was softened a lot.
Looking at the pair of people, Nangong could not help but grin, and some understood the meaning of the custom of South Xinjiang. Before the marriage, wouldn't it be nice for the couple to make a wish for a common future?
Nangong eagerly thought about it, and when Ai Yi returned, the two of them would also pray together.
Lu seized the opportunity to rush to talk with Nangong Yan, covering his mouth and praising: "Second concubine, sister-in-law, look at these two children are really beautiful, aren't they ?!"
After hearing the words, Zhou Rouhui's pupils shrank in the rear and stared at Lu's unbelievably. The moment of disappointment seemed as if she had been betrayed. She secretly gritted her teeth, thanking herself for living in a long room recently, so she never had the opportunity to tell her mother about her thoughts ...
Nangong Ai just smiled slightly and did not answer Lu's words.
Wang was equally silent. If it was the former Wang family, it would definitely help round the field, but since the incense incident, Wang family ’s heart was completely cold, and finally saw the younger brother and sister, as an aunt, even doing such devious and vicious things , This kind of person is not even worthy of a false agreement with her ...
Be polite with her, she will only bully herself!
Unexpectedly, both Nangong Yu and Wang Shi didn't give themselves face. Lu's expression froze for a moment, but he could only continue to smile casually.
In the stiff atmosphere, Zhou Rouhui said softly and asked, "Sir concubine, uncle, mother-in-law, can I go to worship the matsu in the temple?" She smiled slightly, trying to show her most beautiful smile.
When Zhou Rouhui said so, Zhou Roujin immediately echoed and said, "I want to go too."
Since it was a rare visit to the Mazu Temple, Nangong Yan planned to let the girls go to worship, with a smile: "Sister, sister, let's go to worship together." She also wanted to pray for Ai and the Southern Army. I hope they return home soon.
Followed by, several people also went to the temple to worship Mazu, asked for a sign, each person asked why not to say.
By the time they came out of the side hall, it was almost noon. Aunt Cheng took them back to the West Chamber, and the helpers' wives had a table with fast food.
Women dependants sat at a table, and the only man, Xiao Luan, was taken to the courtyard next door for meals.
Although Suizhai in the Heavenly Palace is not bad, it is still a little worse than Anlan Palace. As Nangong Yu ate, she thought that maybe she could go to Anlan Palace with Han Qixia and Xiao Yan.
When Su Zhai used it halfway, Zhou Rouhui whispered something in Lu's ear, then stood up, showing a little shame on his face, apparently going to clean room.
Zhou Rouhui took the girl-in-law out of the room, and everyone continued to enjoy Su Zhai, waiting until the meal was seven or eight, but Zhou Rouhui didn't come back. Nangong aunt moved with a trace of wink at Bai Hui.
Bai Hui followed Nangong Yan for so many years, and immediately understood the meaning of the master, and retired silently.
After a while, Bai Hui returned, and Fu's ear whispered in Nangong's ear. Nangong's lips narrowed into a straight line, and there was a cold flash in his eyes.
Some people! Really can't die until the Yellow River!
Nangong Yan picked up a piece of parchment and wiped the corners of his mouth, changing clothes out of the room on the pretext.
Nangong's subtle changes did not hide the eyes of a group of people, everyone else looked at each other.
Knowing that she was a mother, Lu suddenly thought of something and looked towards her right hand. It's too long for Hui sister to go to the clean room ...
She sharply looked at Zhou Roujin on the other side, and Zhou Roujin's eyes were half-dropped, which seemed a little disturbed.
Lu's heart sank in an instant, and she wanted to question Zhou Roujin what her sister did, but she was still worried about Wang and Zhou Roujia's presence, and she couldn't ask.
Under the guidance of Bai Hui, Nangong Yu strode toward the courtyard next door.
"Concubine, here."
Bai Hui led Nangongyu into the courtyard, and then headed for a room on the west side of the courtyard.
At the door of the room, a girl in a blue and blue dress fell to the ground unconsciously. It was Zhou Rouhui's personal girl-in-law. She was here by Zhou Rouhui's order to take the wind. When Bai Hui came to investigate just now, she held her Stunned.
Both the master and the servant of Nangong Nian ignored the girl and were about to cross the threshold. They heard Zhou Rouhui's soft and sweet female voice: "Second son, I feel so uncomfortable ..."
"Girl on Tuesday, what about your girl?" Xiao Luan followed. "Forget it, since you're not comfortable, I'll call you a doctor."
"Second son, wait!" Zhou Rouhui raised his voice slightly excitedly. "Actually ... Actually, I have always admired my son ...
Nangong Yan's brow tightened, striding across the threshold, the steps under his feet paused, and the small nose moved slightly.
At this moment, the room was filled with a faint scent, which made people smell unconscious and the smell was ...
Nangong Yu's entire face was gloomy, this Zhou Rouhui is so brave!
Not only to hook up with the future brother-in-law, but also to order such lowly incense, if it succeeds, the reputation of Wangfu and Zhoufu will be affected!
Nangong Yu continued to move forward, Bai Hui was about to pick a curtain for Nangong Yu, but listening to Xiao Luan said, "You say you like me?" Xiao Luan's tone was a bit weird, "Girl on Tuesday, I Xiao Luan confessed Merry, but not indecent, what do you think? "
"That ... that, of course." Zhou Rouhui said hastily.
It was quiet inside.
This Zhou Rouhui was afraid that Xiao Luan was wrong ... Nangong sneered at the corner of her mouth and nodded slightly to Bai Hui.
With the sound of a bead-chain collision, a man and a woman in the room looked towards the curtain.
"Shi ... Sister of the world!"
Zhou Rouhui blurted out in disbelief, panic in her eyes: how did the three sisters do things! How could it be the concubine, it should not be ...
Nan Gongxi looked at Zhou Rouhui with a smile, at this time, Zhou Rouhui's right hand was clutching Xiao Luan's right arm tightly, her chest and Xiao Luan's arm were next to each other.
Unfortunately, Zhou Rouhui was afraid that at the moment he had not understood the meaning of Xiao Luan.
Zhou Rouhui must have inquired about Xiao Luan in advance, knowing that Xiao Luan had a room in the house before he got married, so he dared to take such a bold hug, thinking that since Xiao Luan was in love with beauty, as long as she was slightly flattering, she would She hooked easily and waited until the raw rice cooked mature rice. In order to protect the reputation of the two, she was able to marry into the Zhennan Palace on behalf of her sister.
She was so clever that she hadn't figured out Xiao Luan's temperament at all.
Xiao Luan may be embarrassed, may not learn without skill, may not achieve anything, but it does not mean that his virtue is not good.
Although Xiao Luan was in the room, this one was also promoted by the elders.
It is not uncommon for family members to have several houses in the house before their marriage, but Xiao Luan first accepted her wife before marrying her. Some people with strict ethics or love for their daughters must have a little thought in their elections, but It's nothing wrong. At most two people talk about the young and romantic, harmless.
However, he had just settled on marriage with Zhou Roujia, and Zhou Rouhui came to join him. If the two really did, it would be an ugly incident with the little aunt, not romantic, but indecent!
In an instant, Nangong Yan was already thinking, and sometimes he had to be grateful that Xiao Fang's defeat in this life was too early, without too much affecting the brothers and sisters Xiao Luan and Xiao Yan.
Xiao Luan didn't expect Dasao to appear suddenly, and he saw that he and a woman were "pulling". Even if he always thought he was romantic, he would inevitably show embarrassment, and he shook Zhou Rouhui's hand in fear.
Xiao Luan coughed, cleared his throat, and wanted to explain, "Da'er, I ..."
"Second brother, this room is not clean, let's talk out." Nangong Yan gave Zhou Rouhui a meaningful look.
Shizi, do you know? !! Zhou Rouhui flinched, bowed down and bowed her head. The whole person was so ashamed that she could barely dig a hole to bury herself in her heart, despairing, but she had no way out!
She can only grasp Xiao Luan's pity now!
"Second son!" Zhou Rouhui stepped forward again, trying to hold Xiao Luan, this time, Xiao Luan was prepared to avoid the fear and step back.
With a flash, Bai Hui stood between Zhou Rouhui and Xiao Luan. She shot like an electric power and grabbed Zhou Rouhui's right wrist. She said without any undulations: "Girl on Tuesday, offended!"
She was expressionless, staring at Zhou Rouhui with regret, but there was no apology on her face.
Zhou Rouhui couldn't wait to throw a slap on Bai Hui's face, but she only looked at Xiao Luan as a weak and pitiful man: "Second son, I'm really ..."
She didn't have a chance to finish her words. Bai Hui saw that she didn't know each other, and she just slashed at the back of Zhou Rouhui with one palm, Zhou Rouhui rolled her eyes and fell down softly.
The next moment, a hysterical voice sounded: "Her sister!"
A ginger-colored figure flashed, and Lu's rushed over in excitement, kneeling on the ground, watching Zhou Rouhui nervously, and shouting, "Her sister! ... what have you done to sister Hui?" Staring at Bai Hui.
Not only was Lu's coming, there were several other people in Zhou's house at the door—Wang's, Zhou Roujia and Zhou Roujin all except Xiao Yuan and Xiao Ni.
Zhou Roujin looked at the scene in front of her, and she was dumbfounded. She brought her mother and older sister on time. Why didn't things seem right?
Xiao Luan had a guilty conscience and a nervous look at Zhou Roujia, she said: She won't get it wrong, right? She didn't provoke her sister! Although I like beauty, I also know that I can do something or not!
Nangong Yan looked at Lu's, and said lightly, "Mrs. Tuesday, what should you ask Ling Ling to do? What did she do with a sachet containing 'peony spring' on an unmarried girl?" Only Qinglou will use " The scent of "Peony Spring" is just enough to ruin the reputation of all the girls in Zhoufu.
Peony Spring? !! Xiao Luan suddenly realized that when Zhou Rouhui approached, he smelled a sweet smell and felt like he was full of heat ... Thinking about it, he showed a distasteful expression, and took a few steps to cover his nose.
Lu's face was paper-colored, and his heart sank: Why did Hui Hui do such a stupid thing! ...... This matter was originally without evidence and could be passed by in a few words, but with Peony Spring, it is a mountain of evidence.
Lu's momentarily anxious, but momentarily anxious, but Zhou Rouhui was her daughter after all, a piece of meat cut off from her body, how she could leave people alone.
Lu was so upset that he wanted to try to confuse the past, but Nangong Ai had no interest in telling her more. This mother and daughter was simply a matter of confusion. After all, Zhou Rouhui is nothing but learned.
Nan Gongyi instructed Bai Hui: "Bai Hui, you‘ personally ’take the girl from Tuesday to‘ General Zhou ’! Let General Zhou give us‘ an account ’for the town ’s royal palace.” She deliberately accented certain words.
Hearing that Lu's face was even more ugly, and he blurted out: "No, no!"
Lu quickly hurriedly looked at Wang and Zhou Roujia, begging: "Dasao, sister Jia, please seek the concubine, we are always family, sister Hui is still young, she will know wrong!" Lu was anxious, A pair of eyes were red and unconsciously, tears were already overflowing in the eyes.
Know something wrong?
Some people will never be content, and will never be wrong.
Wang looked away and blessed himself in front of Nangong: "It makes Shizi concubine laugh."
For a moment, Lu's entire body almost did not collapse.
Wang can harden, it couldn't be better. Nangong Yu also said no more. With a simple gesture, the people in the royal palace have taken away the people in Zhou's second room.
When this happened, Wang was ashamed and ashamed. Now she just wants to go back quickly. This time, no matter what the master says, she must justify her daughter!
Thinking of this, Wang once again bowed his knees and saluted, and embarrassedly resigned.
Wang and Zhou Roujia were about to leave. Xiao Luan hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but stop Zhou Roujia: "Girl Chou ..."
