Chapter three hundred and forty-six, one plan does not work two plans
Back on the carriage, Yu Yuxi gritted her teeth angrily. She originally wanted to use the matter of her body to make Yu Xijiao angry, but she didn't expect that in the end she ended up with the meaning of "I can't pass the exam anyway".
If she hadn't felt that she might not be able to pass the exam and had to show her cowardice, she would not have left no matter what this time. Needless to say, this statement would have spread by now.
Last year, she failed to pass the exam at her own expense, so she simply signed up and then missed the exam due to illness, just waiting for this time.
Both mother and grandmother had said that Yu Xijiao had a certificate for exemption from the exam and could get it from Yu Xijiao.
But now... she had to pretend to be sick again. In order to be afraid of others finding out, Yu Yuxi took a bath with several basins of cold water last night, and didn't go to bed until she felt unwell. Today she got up and put some more white on her face -
Fan, when the carriage arrived at Baishi Academy, we entered at the right time.
If she doesn't take the exam, she will force Yu Xijiao not to take the exam.
Nowadays, people are spreading rumors outside that Yu Xijiao is a idiot. If both of them don't take the exam, others will only notice Yu Xijiao and think that Yu Xijiao is avoiding the exam.
Grandma said that many people were dissatisfied with Wang and Xie's family's exemption from the exam. Yu Xijiao's matter could cause a big fuss. The bigger the fuss, the less attention would be paid to whether she was avoiding the exam.
My marriage has been decided, but the name of this talented woman is nothing.
Since I was gone, I had to trick Yu Xijiao no matter what, but I didn't expect that Yu Lizhu would disrupt the situation and end up like this.
"Girl! Are we going back home now?" the maid asked cautiously.
"Go to the Qing Temple outside the city." Yu Yuxi said coldly. Fortunately, she also arranged a second plan. If the first plan failed, she would use the second plan. She would go find Qian Lizhen now.
It just so happens that I can talk about my mother's affairs...
The maid responded and spoke to the coachman outside. The coachman turned around and left Baishi Academy and headed out of the city.
Xia Qing Guan is the lower courtyard of Xia Qing Guan. The emperor valued Taoist priests, and the most respected Qin Zhenren was the master of Shang Qing Guan. Shang Qing Guan was even more popular, and Xia Qing Guan also prospered because of it. Another point is that Xia Qing Guan
It is a women's temple. Although it is the lower courtyard of Shangqing Temple, it is more favored by the female relatives.
As a result, the female crowns of Xia Qing Guan have increased in value.
When Yu Yuxi's carriage arrived at Xia Qingguan, she helped the maid Jin Zhu get out of the carriage. Zhike, who had already seen their extraordinary clothes, came up to them.
After Jin Zhu asked Qian Lizhen where she lived, she followed Zhi Ke to the Xiangfang.
Qian Lizhen came two days earlier than them and now lives in Xiaqingguan. She was stunned when she saw Yu Yuxi. She thought it would take a few days for Yu Yuxi to come over.
Zhike stepped back, and the two cousins sat down opposite each other.
"Why is my cousin here at this time? I originally thought it would take a few days." Qian Lizhen asked.
"I just happened to have time to come over today." Yu Yuxi didn't want to tell Qian Lizhen about the White Rock Academy. She picked up the teacup and took a sip and asked, "How are the preparations going?"
"Everything is ready, you can worship now." Qian Lizhen said. She was preparing to hold a religious ceremony here in the past few days. The venue was booked early, and the basic things were generally prepared. She was just waiting for Yu Yuxi to come over. It was originally scheduled to be
Between these two or three days.
Qian Lizhen chose Xiaqingguan, the largest place to do things, and booked a seven-day stay. She made preparations in advance. As for the specific amount, it depends on how much Yu Yuxi needs.
"Okay, I'll pay my respects soon." Yu Yuxi nodded and asked, "Is Master Qingxin here?"
"I'm here, I'm not going anywhere, I'm just waiting for you." Qian Lizhen said proudly. This point is very important. Before she came, she had already sent a message to Master Qingxin, asking her to wait at Xia Qingguan.
Now that the matter was settled, Yu Yuxi waved her hand to Qian Lizhen to check it out, and then asked Qingguan to prepare for the formal worship ceremony.
She leaned on Qian Lizhen's bed and rested for a while. Although she didn't look that serious, she was really sick. Her mood had been tense just now, but she wasn't that tired. Now she lay down and fell asleep.
Already.
Hearing Qian Lizhen's voice in a daze, Yu Yuxi opened her eyes.
"Cousin, we're all ready." Qian Lizhen whispered. He breathed a sigh of relief when she saw she woke up. He stretched out his hand and pressed her forehead. "Cousin, you are really sick. Do you want to go to rest first and then come back tomorrow?"
come over?"
Yu Yuxi's forehead was hot and she didn't look good.
"No need." Yu Yuxi finally came to her senses, sat up and stretched out her hand to rub her eyebrows.
Sitting in front of the dressing table, Jin Zhu helped her freshen up. This time, her face was as pale as paper without using any powder. Jin Zhu saw that she was even weaker than before and couldn't help but said: "Girl, do you want to go back and rest first? I'll take a look."
Your health...is really not good."
"No problem." Yu Yuxi shook her head, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, "This is better."
He helped Jinzhu stand up and said, "Let's go."
Seeing that she insisted on doing this, Qian Lizhen had no choice but to take Yu Yuxi out. Both of them were dressed in plain white clothes. They were extremely simple. They had simple wooden hairpins on their heads.
Paper money, this kind of attire can tell you that you are going to worship.
Yu Yuxi stood in the middle, her face as pale as snow, which attracted many people to look over and see that Yu Yuxi was in a bad condition.
A little Taoist nun took them to a main hall, which happened to be on the central axis of Xiaqing Temple. After entering the door, follow the middle road and keep going, you will inevitably see such a main hall.
The Taoist nuns were ready. Master Qingxin stepped forward and bowed his head in salute: "I have seen these two girls."
"Thank you, Master Lao." Yu Yuxi said softly, holding Jin Zhu's hand and bowing sideways.
Master Qingxin dared not speak out loudly.
Qian Lizhen and Yu Yuxi knelt down in front of the futon in the middle. The Taoist nuns formed a circle around them, holding their own magical weapons in their hands.
Some Taoist nuns were chanting sutras, and some were knocking on magical instruments. After reciting a passage, the Taoist nuns stood up and walked around the main hall, making a huge circle outside the door.
Then they gathered in front of the cousins again, knocking various magical instruments in a very solemn and solemn manner.
Slowly, some people stopped to watch the excitement, and they were all guessing which family was doing the work. One look at the formation and they knew it was a wealthy family.
Others recognized that the person in charge was Master Qingxin, and they were even more surprised. Master Qingxin was quite famous among the aristocratic families, and many ladies from aristocratic families could not be invited. There were many families who wanted to invite Master Qingxin to do things, but in the end, some
A few of them can invite Master Qingxin.
The most famous among Xia Qing Guan is Qing Xin Zhenren.
"Which house is this from?"
"You can't tell, but there are two young girls inside."
The onlookers were talking a lot, and when they looked in from a distance, they saw two girls kneeling in the hall, and the rest were all hands-on, with no faces visible.
There were too many people watching, and the crowd was pushing forward more and more. A Taoist nun came to maintain order and asked them to step back a little and stop pushing forward, so as not to delay the ritual.
People who do good deeds will inevitably ask the Taoist nun who maintains order: "Which family is doing the deeds here?"
"The girl from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion." The Taoist nun didn't hide anything. She politely asked people to step back and said.
"Did something happen again in Xuanpinghou's Mansion?" Someone couldn't help but ask. When it came to Xuanpinghou's Mansion, more and more people were curious.
"It's okay, I'm just doing a religious ceremony." The Taoist nun replied with a smile, and asked the other two Taoist nuns to circle a line and circle a large area in front of the main hall so that the Taoist nuns who were doing the rituals could go around unimpeded.
.
"What religious ceremony are you doing? Do you want to pay homage to your ancestors?" A woman who looked like a little maid asked with a roll of her eyes.
"No, it's just an ordinary ritual to ward off evil spirits and bless you." The Taoist nun did not dare to offend such a maid from a wealthy family, so she replied.
"Exorcism?" People around were shocked. This so-called exorcism is often done in their own yards. It is done secretly, which means that someone in the house has been possessed by evil spirits, or there are unclean things in the house. "Why do you go here to exorcise evil spirits?"
Coming to drive?"
"Maybe... it's not convenient!" The Taoist nun bowed her head to the pilgrim, "I don't even know."
With that said, he left with the Taoist nun who had tied the thread.
"Someone in the Xuanping Hou Mansion...has been possessed by evil spirits?" Someone said to himself in surprise.
"This...can't be true." Someone else was surprised.
"If it's not this kind of thing, how can you perform rituals to exorcise evil spirits?" someone retorted.
Such rituals are all done in the palace, so what does it mean to do it in Xia Qing Guan? Many people looked at the two figures kneeling under the main hall without knowing why, and became more and more curious.
Then a piece of news came out quietly. Mrs. Xuanpinghou was possessed by an evil spirit and was driven crazy. The two girls of the Xuanpinghou Mansion were filled with filial piety, so they performed this ritual. The so-called exorcism was actually not true.
I'm just asking for a peace charm for Mrs. Xuanpinghou to ward off disasters.
This exorcism is also used on the peace talisman. After the ritual is over, the peace talisman will be brought back and used on Mrs. Xuanpinghou.
After saying this, many people understood that it was originally a peace charm to ward off evil spirits, but Xuan Pinghou made the noise a little louder.
There were quite a few ladies from the Qingguan family in Xia Qingguan. A few of them looked at each other for a while and then went to the back. After worshiping each other, acquaintances sat together and talked.
The vegetarian restaurant in Xia Qingguan is also good. Since I came here, I will definitely stay and have a vegetarian meal.
They talked about this ritual ceremony. Compared with ordinary people, these ladies from the aristocratic families knew about the Qian family's big banquet at the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.
Everyone is the wife of the royal family, and they are all legitimate wives. Speaking of which, I sympathize with the Qian family. I feel that Yu Ruiwen has gone too far. Even if he wants to marry an equal wife, he should not force Mrs. Xuanpinghou early. Mrs.
Chu said that this person was so good that Mrs. Xuanpinghou couldn't bear it for a while.
"Marquis Xuanping went too far."
"Marquis Xuanping has indeed gone too far." The wives of the principal wives will help the principal wives. Speaking of Yu Ruiwen, many ladies are very disdainful. You can marry an ordinary wife, but you cannot drive the principal wife crazy just because of an ordinary wife.
Isn’t it better to discuss things carefully?
I know a lot of ladies, including old ladies and young ladies. About five or six ladies from aristocratic families were sitting together, discussing matters in the Xuanping Hou Mansion. Suddenly, a Taoist nun came over in a hurry and saluted the ladies in the room.
: "Excuse me, ladies, have any of you brought a doctor with you?"
