Chapter 394: Huanggu Temple

Fortunately, it was found in time, Wang Erzui shouted and rushed into the room, and the nurse who woke up cried and cried to help up, touching the pink sister was still hot, and called several people to work together to hold it, Wang Erzui hurriedly found the scissors, and stepped forward to cut the rope.

When the night king Erzui and the nurse did not leave the guards and served, they took turns to persuade each other, and walked back and forth in the ghost gate, and Sister Fan's heart to die faded.

After recuperating for two days, Wang Erzui gradually put his mind at ease, instructed his nurse a few words, and then went out to inquire about the news and look for Liu Zhi.

Sister Fan thought it was stuffy in the house, so she came out and looked at the pavilions and pavilions in the Huanggu Temple, and said to the old eunuch who was fiddling with flowers and plants: "The slave family wants to go into the temple for a walk, can it?" ”

The eunuch said: "This Huanggu Temple is the incense courtyard of the Empress Dowager in the palace, not the family temple of the emperor's relatives and ministers, and ordinary people can't easily enter it." is the local grandmother, and there is also a festival; In addition to the first day of the first month, the fifteenth Lantern Festival, the 19th of February Guanyin Bodhisattva Christmas, the third queen mother of the peach in March, the eighth bath of the Buddha in April, the birthday of the 18th Bixiao Yuanjun, the 15th of July, the 15th of October, the winter solstice in November, and the soup soup on the 8th day of La. Only these days are the days when people are allowed to burn incense, not this festival, even if the dignitaries have any good deeds that are willing to hang robes and allow flags to enter the lamp, they must first ask the celebrant to ask for a small ticket, and give it to the big eunuch who guards the door, so that they can be put in. It is said that the teenage man is not allowed to follow inside, this is not a festival, and if you don't look at it, you will be reprimanded by the eunuch in charge. ”

The more she said this, the more Sister Fan aroused her curiosity. Moreover, she is a woman who has no taboos to ask for herself, and she is now using tricks in the yard to coquettish the old eunuch. However, the person in front of him is not a complete man, he has been dealing with women all his life, and he is not moved at all.

Sister Fan was secretly angry, suddenly rolled her eyes, and said: "If my husband doesn't let me in, then I will pull out the hairpin and kill it according to my throat." I don't want to live anymore anyway. ”

Who knew that the eunuch only glanced at her, and turned around to water the flowers, which made Sister Fan feel bored. He stomped his foot back into the room.

Let's say that Wang Erzui entered the city and ran to the house near Jinyiwei, only to see the double doors closed with iron locks, and the big seal of Jinyiwei was pasted on the cross.

Wang Erzui secretly said that if he could work Jinyiwei, there must be a Xu family who came forward. Otherwise, Xu Cuiyun alone will definitely not be able to move the official forward. This sucks. In case Xu Cuiyun hates herself, please ask Jinyiwei to catch it and toss it a few times, then he will have to shed his skin if he doesn't die.

He didn't dare to go home and throw himself into the net, so he went to inquire about Lu Wei's colleague Lu Shu, who had a good relationship with Liu Zhi, who was located in the Straw Hat Hutong of Anxian Fang in the outer city, with three north-facing halls in the aisle of the street; Inside, there is a south-facing living room, and the stove room is opposite the latrine. The wing room is adjacent to the Buddha hall.

Lu Shu is in her Chinese New Year's Eve this year, and her family has a 70-year-old mother who is kind to the Buddha. A kind-hearted wife and a pair of young children, who are very righteous and well-known, have a great reputation in the neighborhood, and should not rest at home these days.

Liu Zhi was detained at home, and took the time to quietly send someone to ask him to find out the whereabouts of Sister Fan, and was entrusted with the matter of loyalty, and when he saw Wang Erzui and asked about the whereabouts of the person, he told him that it was Xu Song, the fourth elder of the Xu family, who moved the chief of the Jinyi Guard.

It turned out that Xu Cuiyun begged his younger brother, Xu Song was furious and immediately sent someone to inform Jinyiwei to seal the house, but in turn persuaded her sister not to embarrass Sister Fan, how to say that raw rice was cooked into cooked rice, and she couldn't deny it.

Xu Cuiyun didn't listen to it, but she had to send someone to secretly catch Sister Fan and sell her to other places to ride thousands of people to sleep with thousands of people, Xu Song threatened to tell the third brother, Xu Cuiyun had no choice but to endure a bad breath for the time being.

At this time, Wang Erzui smiled bitterly and said, "How should this be?" It's a joke to offend the Xu family, it's over, don't want to have a foothold in the capital. ”

Lu Shu smiled: "I think this is a good thing, the second sister-in-law has made a letter of appointment, does the sister-in-law dare not let her enter the house?" Isn't that guilty of the sin of the seven? No matter how hard we work once, Liu Zhide has to remember this situation, so if he encounters difficulties in the future, he can invite him out of the Xu family. ”

"That's just as well." Wang Erzui nodded, and then shook his head, "I won't tell you, the second sister-in-law committed suicide by hanging herself that night, but fortunately she was saved by me, I am afraid that she will find a short-term see, and in the end she is not a person inside and out." ”

Lu Qi was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Then why don't you hurry back and guard?" You can't kill anyone. ”

At that moment, Lu Qi sent Wang Erzui out, and saw that the coppersmith surnamed Jin next door was pulled and beaten by several people, and the leader was Li Zengzhi, the younger brother of Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo.

Lu Shu hurriedly stepped forward and took Li Zengzhi's hand and said, "What is Master Li angry about?" Don't do it, look at the face of the younger brother, forget it, Lao Jin must have delayed the construction period again, right? ”

Li Zengzhi said angrily: "There are four copper rings on the sedan chair at my house, which are placed in the front yard, and I don't know which dog stole three of them." I promised him six pieces of silver, and gave him three points of wine money, and asked him to match three sedan rings. He's been fucking for three months, and he's been running with me every day. Lao Lu, tell me, from the imperial city to this straw hat alley, back and forth for several miles, at first three or five days, and once a day or two, these days actually called me a day, how much did the hot sky carriage and horses reward? Yesterday's promise of God's curse will be completed today, dare to coax me again? Hiding at home and not being able to come out, do you think I will beat him or not? ”

Lu Shu turned around and scolded: "An adult dog thing, it's hateful, I have received the money for more than three months, and I don't give it out, don't you beat the dog?" Dare to shout after a few hits, shut up quickly. ”

Turning his head, Lu Qi said with a smile: "For the sake of the younger brother, he is limited to three days, and if he wants to lie again, he doesn't need Li Ye to do it, I will break his two legs." ”

Li Zengzhi said: "Actually, I am not in a hurry a few days later and a few days earlier, but early the day after tomorrow, my sister-in-law wants to go to Huanggu Temple to hang a flag, and she must get a sedan chair given by the emperor." Anyway, he can't pay me ten times the principal interest, hurry up and rush out overnight, otherwise, Lao Tzu will take you to the Terracotta Division. ”

The goldsmith covered his face and said, "There is ready-made copper at home, I will call you, nail it tomorrow at noon, and ask Mrs. to sit the day after tomorrow." ”

Li Zengzhi said: "Then you will fight quickly, Lao Tzu will guard you today and will not go home." ”

Naturally, few people know why Li Zengzhi personally cares about such ordinary things. Why did he know that the gold coppersmith was unreliable for three months, and he was stupid to come one by one, because there was an unspeakable hardship at home.

Here, Wang Er's mouth is clever. Cao Guogong's family was going to Huanggu Temple, and the day after tomorrow remembered to see the excitement, so he said goodbye and left.

Back at the residence, Sister Fan was sulking in the house, Wang Erzui had intended to coax her, and when she asked the reason, she suddenly smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this?" It's on me. ”

The next day, when I entered Beijing, I saw Li Zengzhi sitting at the corner of the street and eating tea leisurely. Lu Shu helped in the coppersmith shop, and pulled him outside the shop to speak.

Lu Shu thought for a while, and asked Li Zengzhi, who was drinking tea, "Master Li." I have an aunt and sister-in-law who came to the city, so I wanted to go to the Huanggu Temple to watch it, saying that it was not easy for her to go all the way to Beijing once, and I couldn't refuse. You see? ”

"What's so hard about that?" Li Zengzhi put down the teacup with a big grin. "Hello to my sister-in-law, don't you just take her in to see the world? Simple. ”

However, Lu Shu has always been very meticulous in his work, and he easily does not let go of any details, which is also the professional habit of Jinyiwei for many years, plus he knows more or less about the trivial matters of the Li family, and he is a little embarrassed: "Her clothes are not very neat, and there are no maids to follow, and she is born with a beautiful appearance." I don't understand the rules of a wealthy family. ”

"Wait." Li Zengzhi remembered the maid who was killed, and said with a slight change of color: "Then forget it." No, the misunderstanding has something to do with me, and I can't explain it clearly. ”

At this time, Wang Erzui said: "This sister-in-law is actually a relative of the Xu family, that is, the little above the wife and concubine." ”

"The Xu family, the Jinling Xu family?" Li Zengzhi was greatly surprised, seeing that Wang Erzui nodded slightly, and said with a tacit smile: "Then you don't say it earlier, to tell you the truth, this time it was my sister-in-law who invited the third sister-in-law of the Xu family to worship the Buddha, since they are a family, it doesn't matter." ”

"Hmmm! It's not easy to make your identity clear. Li Zengzhi pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "If you don't let her blend into the crowd, don't speak, if my sister-in-law sees it, she will say that she is from Xufu; If the third sister-in-law sees it and only says that the people in my house will be checked and named at that time? Everyone kowtowed, told her to climb down and kowtow and slip aside. In case someone asks, I'll be there to help. ”

Lu Shu said happily: "Great, thank you brother Yucheng." ”

Later, Wang Erzui told Sister Fan about it, and Sister Fan was full of joy when she heard it, who doesn't know the name of the Xu family of Wei Guogong? Liu Zhi also boasted about the current British Gong Xu family, and said that he could not only enter the temple to fulfill his wish, but also take the opportunity to get close to the third young grandmother who was really in charge of the Xu family, even if this time it was just a nodding friend, then in the future, there would be a visit to the inner house from the beginning, so that she would be embarrassed, and Xu Cuiyun would not dare to rectify herself to death.

On the third watch of the next day, Sister Fan got up early to freshen up, had breakfast, changed into a popular three-ring bun in Jinling, put on a new Cuilan su gauze dress borrowed from Lu Shu's wife, and rode a borrowed horse to Cao Guogong's house.

Sister Fan just waited blankly, and everyone was basically silent except for the occasional cough. After a while, I saw the two wives sitting on two eight-lift sedan chairs given by the emperor, with a bright yellow sedan top, a heavy blessing silk and gold-edged sedan car, and an open sedan curtain.

Looking closely, the two ladies are picturesque, both wearing unicorn palace clothes with big red arrow sleeves and snow-white carved jade belts.

In front of the sedan chair, there are eight flag officers leading 30 personal soldiers to open the way, and there are 30 personal soldiers in the back to protect it, and then there is a guard of honor holding a big red handle and a golden palm fan, followed by a long line of bone flower sedan chairs, and seventy or eighty maids and daughters-in-law and the parents and the little maids, etc., all riding horses to accompany each other.

Li Zengzhi reluctantly withdrew his stunning gaze, secretly sighed Xu Hao's boundless beauty, and instructed his family to help Sister Fan and other daughters-in-law get on the horse and follow behind.

However, it is said that the vermilion carved wall in front of the Huanggu Temple, the green pine inside covers the palace, the emerald green mille-feuille house, the Xuanmen of the stone lion town, and the beast-faced gold shop embroidered household. The cigarette is thin, and the slightest trace penetrates the bead curtain; The shadows of the flowers are heavy, and the lacquer flowers are flying and painting the threshold.

On the lotus seat, the Bodhisattva has six golden bodies; In the Bayeux Hall, there is a delicate pink delicacy left by the emperor. When the team will arrive at the temple gate, the four voices of the earth will be shaken, and the old nun who is the presiding officer of the temple will come out with a group of nuns to greet him.

Although the two ladies are called wives, Li Jinglong's wife Li is not very old, let alone Mu Ningxue, who looks like she is between young Ai.

Sister Fan looked enviously from afar, Mrs. Li was born delicate and dignified, wearing a red gold silk jade Guanyin on her head, and a treasure flower inlaid with Nanyang pearls and jade leaves on her right; And Mrs. Xu's stunning appearance needless to say, wearing a red gold winged flying phoenix, a red phoenix with eight bright jewelry knots in its mouth, and a red peach with a ruby diamond inserted on the right.

Behind each of them, there are four maids and fans to escort them forward slowly, followed by the maids and servants, the black crows and crows, and the pink sister is supported by the nurse and mixed in the crowd, there are many beautiful women in front of and behind her, at this moment, it is like the sea sprinkling sand, who will notice her?

In this way, as the two wives ascended to the pavilion, the verandah of the hall, and walked east and west, to the south and north, Sister Fan was satisfied, and now she is full of thoughts about finding a suitable opportunity to talk to Mrs. Xu. (To be continued......)
