Chapter 56 Marriage

Huguo Temple is located in the west of Yanjing City. There is a temple market on the seventh and eighth day of every month. Although it is not a temple market today, there are still tourists like ants and there are many pilgrims. Many people take horse-drawn carriages or donkeys to the temple to burn incense.

Eleventh Niang got out of the car and saw a small stall in front of the mountain gate, with blue and white cloth sheds, selling food, jade or silk fans and teacups, and other daily objects. It was dazzling and had everything. It was very similar to the scenic spots she had visited before.

Luo Zhenxing and his classmate, Mr. Qian, walked in front, surrounded by a maid with a rough maid and a tall and powerful wardrobe. At a glance, you can tell that it is either rich or noble, so ordinary people naturally dare not approach it.

They soon went to the main hall to sautum, and were invited by the presidency to rest in the mountain room behind the temple.

Wu Niang and Shi Niang were very excited, wearing curtains and looking around. After entering the mountain room, they ran to the window frame to look out. The eldest lady looked at Eleventh Lady with a calm expression and nodded slightly.

Luo Zhenxing accompanied Mr. Qian in to greet the eldest wife.

Wu Niang was busy and avoided the inner room.

Mr. Qian is a very good person. After a few simple greetings, he chatted with the eldest lady: There are wooden combs, all kinds of textures. Once I bought an authentic cow horn comb, which cost only ten cents. There is an upper sold on the west side, and the colors are complete. Although it is incomparable to the Su style of Jiangnan, it is quite unique. You can send your mother to take a look later. There is a tea stall called rice cake and plum in the south, which specializes in shaving cakes and cold cakes.

The fried enema is made of a braised meatball, with authentic Yanjing flavor. You have to try the fried enema. Have you heard of it? It is filled with white flour, pink cherry water, cloves and cardamom. He is very particular about it. The topic is like a wild one, which makes the eldest wife and Wu Niang and Shi Niang in the house laugh. However, the eleventh lady thinks that this man talks too much, and often exaggerates and is a bit frivolous. But the eldest wife likes it very much and actually sends someone to buy food from the rice cake and plum.

Eleventh Lady looked like something like glutinous rice cake but called enema, and she didn't dare to eat it at all. Instead, Shi Niang ate it with relish.

Because of this episode, the eldest wife and Mr. Qian are less polite and more intimate.

Mr. Qian asked the eldest wife: There is a teahouse called Shundezhuang next to Huguo Temple. There is a opera troupe specializing in Yuhang's accent singing. Do you want to listen to it?

The eldest lady smiled and said: No, let’s sit and leave.

As he was speaking, there was a woman's voice outside: This is the female family of the Yuhang Luo Mansion family, our wife is the wife of the Taiyuan Prefect Jiang.

Eleventh Lady's body stiffened as she heard this.

When she heard that she was going to come to Huguo Temple, she wondered, but now she finally understood.

Wu Niang and Shi Niang on the side seemed unaware of it. They sat around, acting on their own, and did not differ by the Mrs. Jiang who was about to appear.

She heard Mr. Qian exclaim and said strangely: Could it be Lord Jiang from the Le'an Jiang family?

That's right. The eldest lady responded with a smile, and then Mr. Qian smiled and said, "Since that's the case, Brother Zhenxing and I will avoid it for the time being. As we said, there were footsteps outside the house.

When Wu Niang saw Eleventh Lady listening to the movement outside with her ears, she ran over and said with a smile: What did Eleventh Lady hear? She is much more intimate than usual.

Eleventh Lady knew that she was trying to win over her to isolate Shi Niang. She felt very bored and smiled at Shi Niang, but answered Wu Niang's words: Mother seemed to have met an acquaintance.

Wu Niang also heard the movement before, but now after hearing what Eleventh Niang said, he calmed down and listened to the movement outside.

Amid the rustling sound of the dress rubbing, a strange but enthusiastic female voice came: The eldest wife of the Luo family, this is really fate. I went back to Yanjing occasionally, but I didn’t expect to meet you here. Although this is my first time meeting you, Yuanniang and I have a sympathy for my sister, so I came to visit me. Please forgive me for your rudeness. I said very politely and affectionately.

Mrs. Jiang was too polite. The eldest wife and Mrs. Jiang greeted each other, and the two sat down separately.

Mrs. Jiang said: Why didn’t you see the ladies in your family? I heard from Yuan Niang that they were all beautiful like fairies.

It was Yuan Niang who praised her sister. The eldest lady was humble and called Xu's mother to call Wu Niang and the three of them out to meet the guests.

Mrs. Jiang is in her thirties, with long eyebrows and hair, very beautiful, but her eyes are very sharp. When her eyes fell on Eleventh Lady, Eleventh Lady felt like she was shot in a searchlight and felt very uncomfortable.

They were as beautiful as fairies. Mrs. Jiang looked at the three sisters who bowed to her and praised her. Each of them gave a string of sandalwood beads and a bead hairpin.

The eldest lady was humble.

Mrs. Jiang asked their sisters how old they were to know how they could not read their needlework.

Although I was asking the third sister, my eyes were longer on Wu Niang's body.

They replied to Mrs. Jiang's words one by one, and Mrs. Jiang was about to get up and say goodbye: My mother has been vegetarian all year round and doesn't care much about the family affairs, and she left it to the mothers who are in charge. She couldn't help but have a mess and she had to go back to her parents' home to see her. As she said that, she sighed and said, "It's better if my brother marrys his sister-in-law." I don't have to run away like this."

You are the aunt, and even if you marry your younger sister-in-law, you are the biggest. The eldest wife said politely, I am afraid that I can't let go of this burden anymore.

Mrs. Jiang laughed: At that time, I will only pay some silver, and as for the butler, I will not care about it.

The two were chatting and laughing, and the eldest lady personally sent Mrs. Jiang to the door, and then ordered her to go back home: Let's go to the third wife's house for dinner.

Such a good mood

Eleventh Lady couldn't help but mutter in her heart. But judging from Mrs. Jiang's expression today, she probably was quite satisfied with the oldest Wu Niang. It can be inferred that the prince was either not young or the family was eager to marry and have children to make the Wang family prosperous.

On the way, Mr. Qian asked Luo Zhenxing: How do you know the people from the Le'an Jiang family?

Luo Zhenxing laughed and said: We are not familiar with our family. It seems that we are very familiar with my elder sister.

Mr. Qian nodded, and a hint of envy flashed in his eyes: How great it is to be like you, you have old friends everywhere you go.

Luo Zhenxing smiled.

Mr. Qian said again: Speaking of which, my uncle and two uncles are both waiting for the que, the uncle of the country doesn't care about his eyes.

Luo Zhenxing was slightly stunned, and after a moment of reaction, Mr. Qian's uncle in his mouth was referring to his brother-in-law Xu Lingyi, the Marquis of Yongping.

He looked at Mr. Qian, who was anxious to know the answer, and smiled faintly: Brother-in-law told Dad not to be anxious.

Mr. Qian nodded thoughtfully and asked Luo Zhenxing again: Do you often go to the Marquis’ house to treat you? I heard that he has a very gentle temper. Is it true?

I don't go to Luo Zhenxing often and laughed, and I don't have much contact with him.

There was a slight disappointment in Mr. Qian's eyes.

Luo Zhenxing could see clearly and said: However, he treated me well. Jijiu said that his brother-in-law had made a special trip to find him, asked me about my knowledge, and asked him to take care of him. I was quite surprised. Just the day before Jijiu said this, he specially invited me to Chunxilou for a drink. Although he also asked me about my academic matters, he never mentioned that he had gone to Jijiu. I thought I was afraid that I would be complacent and delay my studies.

Mr. Qian was excited after hearing this and said with a smile: Do your brother-in-law also like to drink in Chunxilou? I also like it very much. I don’t know what he likes to eat, sausage, pufferfish, water, or venison.

Anchovies and puffer fish are available in April and May, water is fresh in summer, and venison is in autumn and winter

Luo Zhenxing admired Mr. Qian for a while.

He read well and was good at making friends for a while.

He had all the things you said in his house, so how could he go to Chunxi Tower? Luo Zhenxing paid attention to Mr. Qian's expression.

Mr. Qian's smile was a little unnatural: Yes, his grand uncle, the Marquis of Yongping, and no matter how good Chunxi Tower is, it is not as good as a royal feast. There is nothing rare.

This is the second time that Yongping Hou is the uncle.

Luo Zhenxing felt a little sure.

He smiled and said: I don’t know what my brother-in-law likes to eat, but my third aunt likes to eat the roasted suckling pig in Chunxilou the most. Speaking of this, he yelled, why did I forget? I should order one in Chunxilou to bring it to make Aunt San happy too.

Mr. Qian hurriedly said: The third aunt you mentioned is the daughter of Liuge's hometown.

Luo Zhenxing nodded: Mr. Liu has retired and returned home.

Mr. Qian smiled and said: Even so, I heard that Mr. Li has many difficulties in new tea tax.

Luo Zhenxing laughed: I will not talk about these things today, I will not talk about these things.

Mr. Qian smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I can't beat Qiufeng empty-handedly. In this way, I will whip my horse quickly, so I will go to Chunxilou to order a suckling pig to my third uncle's house."

From Lord Luo to Uncle Third

Luo Zhenxing looked at him with a smile: No, no, no. How can you spend money?

If you continue, you will not be a brother. Mr. Qian was very cheerful and had already left without waiting for Luo Zhenxing to answer.

Mr. Qian had already purchased a roasted suckling pig before the Luo family arrived at Qiantang Hutong, and was taking two friends from Chunxilou to wait at the gate of Luo Huayi.

Luo Zhenxing was stunned, and then the jade pendant with rising mutton fat that had been hanging on his waist that had been rising gradually disappeared.

He nodded secretly and knocked on the door of Uncle San’s house.

When the third wife saw them, she was overjoyed and hurriedly called the third master to come out to serve the guests, and then arranged to prepare dinner in person.

The eldest lady stopped her: There is a roast suckling pig outside, which was bought by Brother Xing. Just ask the kitchen to make a few side dishes. Our sister-in-law sits down and talks.

The third wife was even more happy when she heard this, and asked the mothers to take the roasted suckling pigs to the kitchen, and took the eldest wife's hand to the main hall of the main house.

Everyone sat down, and the eldest lady asked about the fifth and sixth masters.

I went to school. The third wife smiled a little reluctantly. The master was trapped in Yanjing, so he couldn't delay the children's studies. It just so happened that the home school in the Marquis' Mansion in Zhongshan was separated from this alley, so I left the children there.

The eldest wife was quite surprised: Are you very familiar with the Tang family of Zhongshan Hou Mansion?

Don't wait tonight, get up tomorrow morning to watch
